🚨 Could the greatest challenge to Christianity come from its own forgotten history?
In this fascinating episode of OnGuard, Dr Hamza Andreas Tzortzis sits down with Paul Williams (Blogging Theology) to uncover a forgotten chapter of Christian history with potentially revolutionary implications.
As the discussion unfolds, the implications are described as nothing short of a “Copernican revolution” in our understanding of Christianity.

Muslims need to be clued up on cybersecurity!
A message arrives from someone you know, asking to borrow money urgently. You assume something has gone wrong and send some over, only to discover the money never reached them.
This is how things like WhatsApp scams exploit trust, and why greater awareness of cyber threats and online safety is needed within Muslim communities, particularly among older generations.

Civilisation can't survive without trust
Even without religion, people still need akhlāq. Why? Because trust sits at the foundation of any functioning civilisation, underpinning contracts, transactions, relationships, and the ability to live alongside one another.

What does leadership look like inside the home?
Blaming your wife or society is easy, taking responsibility is harder. Look at what the Salaf taught about accountability, the importance of a wife’s role, and the responsibility of a husband who is meant to lead his family with care and purpose.

You need to know the world you want to leave behind
With so many choices competing for our attention, it can be difficult to know which good choice is the right one. One way to decide is to imagine yourself on your deathbed and ask what you would want to see in the lives of those around you.
From your family and community to your local masjid, what would you hope to have built, changed, or left behind? And if you cannot answer that, start with a simpler question: what would you not want to see?

How would you react if someone told you Islam is undoubtedly as European a religion as Christianity?
From the arrival of the Sahaba in Cyprus to Muslim communities in Wales, Islamic influence on European architecture, and the centuries of Muslim rule across Iberia, Europe’s Islamic history is far richer than many of us realise.
In this article, Edward Rowe recommends three books that can help Muslims in Europe discover these forgotten connections and see the places around them through a different lens.

Hidden pain
Someone can have a job, function day to day, and seem completely fine while struggling with deep internal pain. When that pain goes unaddressed, unhealthy coping mechanisms, isolation, depression, and even suicidal thoughts can follow. This is why we need to take hidden suffering seriously.
