    Today is the day of the Challenger Space Shuttle Disaster

    On January 28 1986 the space shuttle Challenger lifted off for a brief moment and then met tragedy and death of all seven crew members. I thought it was appropriate time to remember. Here's live coverage of the event by CNN (jump to 35 minutes in to see Challenger on the launchpad)...

    Bigotry: Yes or No? Dawkins and Voting for a Mormon

    The connotations of this reads like he's associating Mormons with a variety of ills. A false dichotomy of either reaching the moon or "believing you get a planet when you die" (which even if inaccurate as far as Mormon theology goes is a place holder for Mormon theology itself). So it's either...

    Would the world really be a better place?

    The world would be all the poorer for it. Besides there is an argument to be made that religion has a biological basis within humanity.

    Spirit of the law vs the letter of the law

    Interesting, some additional questions if you don't mind. Are there any commands in your religion whose principle is less obvious? One which you either choose to obey or not? If so would you consider this to be an instance where the principle is more important than the letter? And if this...

    Spirit of the law vs the letter of the law

    Salaam alaikum (peace be upon you), So a question popped in my head and I wanted to know the perspective of other followers of Abrahamic religions. What do you think is important when looking at your religions legalistic commandments? Do you think it is most important to follow it to the...

    Researching Ahmadiyyat

    As salaam alaikum, Dearest Dawud let me preface by saying that I did not post before or continue to post this out of hatred for you or other Ahmadis. I wish upon you the blessing, peace, and mercy of Allah insha allah. You have said you mistrust scholars, but then yo say you have read an...

    On Handling the Quran

    Salaam alaikum Ignorance of Allah's messenger and his message does not absolve someone of all their crimes, it only absolves them from the shari'ah (religious path) of Islam. Such a person would still be judged on his merits accordingly by Al-Hakam (the Judge] "[For, indeed,] God will judge...

    letter kaf

    Salaam alaikum (peace be upon you), This is an interesting question, could I ask what prompted you to ask? Am I correct when you say kaf you mean this letter? ك From my, limited understanding, it is a letter of the Arabic alphabet and appears throughout the Qur'an such as in this word...

    On Handling the Quran

    A final bit of advice, when reading the Qur'an it is unique from reading another book or piece of literature in that it is not chronological and does not necessarily build off the other. You can read surahs (which can be simplified as chapters) alone because each has its own specific message and...

    On Handling the Quran

    As-salaam alaikum This is a good question, for some added insight here's another exegis on the highlighted verse "And who believe in that which has been bestowed from on high upon thee, [O Prophet,] as well as in that which was bestowed before thy time: [5] for it is they who in their innermost...
