My people, let’s dissect the ridiculous claims made by this so-called expert. It is amazing how someone can sit in a podcast studio, call themselves a historian, and broadcast blatant historical illiteracy. I am not surprised, he followed the ways of his forefathers. First of all, he claims the religion was created to cater to primordial desires and lusts. Hmm…ignorance at its peak. Let us apply basic logic. If a man wants to build a system for unchecked lust, why would he mandate waking up in the cold before sunrise to pray? Why would he order his followers to abstain from food, water, and intimacy from dawn to dusk for thirty days straight every year? A religion built on lust would not have outlawed alcohol, forbade gambling, mandated giving away hard-earned wealth to the poor, and ordered men to lower their gaze. It takes serious discipline to be a Muslim, not uncontrolled desire. Therefore, his first claim is nothing but lies/falsehood. Second, he claims you can just say a few words and become a pirate who fights, kills, rapes, and enslaves to get rich. This is a deliberate lie. The Islamic rules of engagement laid down over a millennium ago are far stricter than the modern Geneva Conventions. The Muslim armies were strictly ordered not to harm women, children, the elderly, or even monks in their places of worship. They were forbidden from cutting down fruit-bearing trees or slaughtering livestock except for food. In Islamic jurisprudence, rape and the unjust taking of a single human life carry the ultimate/death penalty. You do not get rich by plundering under Islamic law, you face execution. Again, his second claim is ignorant. And regarding his crude reduction of the afterlife to nonstop sex with Houris, he is only projecting his own carnal mindset onto divine texts. In fact, let me teach you people what many of you don’t know today. When the Quran speaks of physical rewards, it is describing a reality where every desire of the soul is met with peak perfection. On earth, human pleasure is highly defective. You eat a great meal, you get bloated, and the food eventually becomes waste. You experience intimacy, but it is tied to physical exhaustion, biological limits, and emotional friction. Earthly pleasure always comes with a heavy tax. But in Paradise, the physical rewards are stripped of all biological defects. There is no bodily waste, no fatigue, no boredom, and no decay. It is the highest dimension of complete gratification. The Creator designed human beings with innate desires and placed them there to test our discipline in this temporary world. The reward for restricting your desires here is the infinite, pure fulfillment of those very desires in the next world. If a man only understands the filthy lust of this world, his brain will short-circuit when he tries to comprehend a divine reward system. This man is not an expert. He is a grifter who is selling cheap sensationalism to an audience that refuses to read. When they lack the intellectual capacity to debate the theology, they resort to elementary slander. Let them keep exposing their intellectual poverty on camera. Allah knows best.

I have been tagged to this post several times today. I took my time to get clarity on how to put my words together. I noticed how many of you were bashing brother Tes_Tes @da_tesleem because he said as Muslims, we do not baffle when the Almighty makes a command. I wonder if many of the so-called Muslims today really understand Islam. Allah says in the Quran in Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 36: وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَن يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ ۗ وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا مُّبِينًا "It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should have any choice about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error." This is the baseline. Total submission. The counter-argument that Islam allows asking questions is an ignorant take in this scenario. Look at her post. Does it look like someone who is asking to learn? In Arabic rhetoric and Quranic Tafseer, there is a concept called Istifham Inkari. It is a questioning style used to express rejection, denial, or disapproval. She is not seeking knowledge. It is an arrogant way of questioning the rationale behind the command of the Prophet (peace be upon him). If this is your posture towards Islam, you are walking on a very dangerous path. Yes, Islam encourages seeking rational conviction. The proper way to do this is to ask questions to uncover the Hikmah (wisdom) behind a ruling so your heart finds tranquility. Prophet Ibrahim asked Allah how He resurrects the dead, not out of doubt, but to reassure his heart. You do not demand the wisdom as a condition for your obedience. You obey first, then you seek the wisdom to strengthen your faith. This is should be your modus operandi. If she genuinely wanted to learn, she would have framed it differently. She could have asked: "What is the Hikmah behind the Prophet forbidding black dye? I want to understand my religion better." Or she could have said: "Can someone explain the scholarly reason why black dye is haram while other colors are allowed?" That is how a Muslim who is seeking knowledge asks questions. Now, let us discuss why the Prophet (peace be upon him) prohibited black dye. I am sharing this with a strict disclaimer. I am not giving you this wisdom so you can make your intellect the yardstick for accepting the Sunnah. We do not put the Prophet's commands on trial until our brains agree with them. A fundamental pillar of being a Muslim is Iman bil Ghaib (belief in the unseen) and Tasleem (complete, unquestioning submission). We hear and we obey. The rationale behind the prohibition is rooted in preventing deception. When Abu Quhafah was brought to the Prophet (peace be upon him) with his hair completely white, the Prophet commanded them to change it but strictly avoid black. Eminent scholars have broken this down. Imam An-Nawawi in his well-known book Sharh Sahih Muslim explains that dyeing hair black is forbidden because it involves Tadlees (deception and fraud). It creates a false illusion of youth and alters the reality of aging. Ibn Qudamah also corroborated this in his book Al-Mughni, stating that avoiding black dye prevents deceiving others, which is highly critical in social and legal dealings like marriage proposals. Using other colors like pure henna or katam changes the gray without faking youthfulness. We must curb this modern nonsense of hiding behind "I am just asking questions" to challenge the Shariah. Submit completely or stop playing games with your faith. Allah knows best.

I love how science is always playing catch up to the Sunnah. Researchers tracked thousands of proteins and found out that the real biological benefits of fasting do not even start until day three. They are literally calling it a software update for the human body because that is the exact moment the proteins linked to longevity and brain health finally wake up. Long before modern medicine had the tools to map this out, the Prophet (peace be upon him) prescribed fasting three days every lunar month. We see it as an act of worship, but the Almighty designed it as a total physical reset. The divine blueprint is unmatched.
