Spiritual Meditations ( 28 Oct 2024, NewAgeIslam.Com) Comment | CommentBy Naseer Ahmed, New Age Islam 28October 2024The article, The Fallibility of Beliefs and the Imperative for Compassionate Action, showcases the risks of superficial critical thinking. It misconstrues Bertrand Russell's caution about dying for beliefs as a universal distrust of belief itself.

Spiritual Meditations ( 25 Oct 2024, NewAgeIslam.Com) Comment | CommentBy Naseer Ahmed, New Age Islam25 October 2024In response to Sumit Paul’s article, I find it important to point out a significant misapplication of Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s views. Taleb’s insights about randomness, uncertainty, and scepticism have been invoked to critique beliefs—particularly religious ones—without fully appreciating the nuance in his own reflections on this matter.

By Naseer Ahmed, New Age Islam 26 October 2024 In the worlds of mathematics and science, we often think that rigorous rationalism leaves little room for faith. Figures like Bertrand Russell and Richard Dawkins-vocal critics of religion-might suggest that the pursuit of knowledge and belief in God are incompatible.

By Naseer Ahmed, New Age Islam 23 October 2024 Every Religious and Philosophical Tradition Has Posited the Existence of an Immaterial, Immortal Soul That Transcends the Body. However, In The Quran, The Nafs Is Not a Separate, Immortal Entity; It Is Part of the Material Existence of Humans. This Perspective Is Consistent with Modern Views in Neuroscience and Psychology, Where Consciousness and Selfhood Are Seen as Emergent Properties of Brain Function, Dependent On the Body for Their Existence.

By Naseer Ahmed, New Age Islam22 October 2024GM sb, has repeatedly accused the Quran of containing errors and, as proof, pointed out to Wiki Islam or his idol Syed Kamran Mirza’s compilation of “errors” in the Quran. He has, however, shied away from the challenge of picking one, two or three of the best “proofs” of “errors” to make his point. He has now come up with one example as follows:Implying That the Earth Does Not Move Is an Error.

Spiritual Meditations ( 21 Oct 2024, NewAgeIslam.Com) Comment | CommentBy Naseer Ahmed, New Age Islam21 October 2024While Sumit Paul's article makes a case against the possibility of a convergence of religions into a "universal wisdom," it rests on assumptions that require deeper scrutiny. The dismissal of religion as merely a political tool or an outdated relic of humanity's past oversimplifies the complex role religion has played — and continues to play — in human society.

By Naseer Ahmed, New Age Islam19 October 2024In the Quran, the verses are called Ayat, meaning signs of Allah. These Ayat are not confined to the sacred text alone but extend into the physical world—the natural laws and phenomena we observe. The Quran encourages us to reflect on both forms of these Ayat, revealing that understanding Allah’s message is incomplete without contemplating His creation.

By Naseer Ahmed, New Age Islam 18 October 2024 The concept of time and its measurement is central to human experience. We measure our days, months, and years from the sun's rising and setting, the moon's phases, and the Earth's orbit around the sun. However, time in the Quran introduces a more profound and fluid dimension, where "days" are not limited to the Earth's rotation or orbit. Instead, a Quranic day reflects the span of an unfolding divine process, with durations that vary dramatically.

By Naseer Ahmed, New Age Islam14 October 2024This article responds to those who do not tire of saying that the Quran contains nothing unknown to the people before the Quran was revealed. They do so to deny the Quran its divine origin. The Quran says,41:43. Nothing is said to you (O Muhammad) that was not said to the apostles before you. It would, therefore, have been surprising if the same or similar narrative is uncommon in other religious traditions and cultures.

By Naseer Ahmed, New Age Islam5 October 2024Scientists and philosophers believed in a steady-state Universe for a long time – it always was and will always be. Then, modern discoveries of an expanding universe and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), led to the theory of creation that came to be known as the Big Bang Theory. The Quran is a guide to spiritual and moral truths, but it also contains intriguing descriptions of the universe's creation.
