  • Satan’s Maniacal Touch

    What does it mean to be "deranged by the Devil’s touch"? This text examines the sobering warnings in Surah al-Baqarah regarding usury. The text explains that the Quranic comparison of a usurer to one who is "deranged" refers to an unbalanced economic mindset that views usury as being identical to trade. The discussion clarifies the linguistic roots of "derangement" and the role of Satanic influence in fostering unstable behaviour. It also details the legal transition from pre-Islamic practices to the prohibition of interest, explaining how previous gains were handled and the spiritual consequences for those who persist in usurious habits. By contrasting the altruism of charity with the selfishness of usury, the resource highlights why the Quran uses some of its most horrifying warnings to outlaw interest-based transactions.

  • Allah & The Masculine Pronoun

    Why Does Allah Use The Masculine Pronoun When Referring To Himself In The Qur’an? Why does the Qur’an refer to Allah using masculine pronouns if God is beyond gender? This text addresses a common linguistic confusion by explaining the technical rules of the Arabic language. Because Arabic lacks a neutral "it" pronoun, any subject must be categorized as either masculine or feminine. The text clarifies that the use of the masculine pronoun is a grammatical necessity rather than a description of divine nature. It breaks down the difference between "natural" gender (based on biology) and "grammatical" gender (based on linguistic convention). By highlighting that many esteemed creations like the sun and paradise use feminine nouns, the author demonstrates that grammatical gender carries no inherent value or status. Readers will gain a clearer understanding of how revelation remains bound by the rules of human language without compromising the transcendence of God.

  • Are Iblis And Shaytan (Satan) The Same Individual?
