Stop Apologising For Your Faith

This text encourages donations to establish a Masjid, promising supporters a "house in Jannah" and shared rewards from those "Praying in the Masjid," "Making Dhikr," and "Memorizing the Qur’an," based on a saying of the Prophet ﷺ.

Stop Apologising For Your Faith

They say, "What about inheritance laws and what about this and a man can marry four wives?" So what's the problem with all of that? I had a doubt as well. I said, "Why is it not five or six?"

The assumption is that there should be absolute equality in all cases. Now if you say, "Oh, it's because of this and ah, it's only this and if the woman gets ill and sick and she can't have a baby and all that," then you're playing to their tune. You're on the back foot. You're defensive.

This is the truth. Our religion is a religion of evidence. The Quran says, "Bring your evidences if you're truthful." But a real discussion and debate, whether it be any society, must start with the assumption that I must bring the evidence and you must bring the evidence and we must criticize each other's evidence.

But this unequal assumption of liberal neutrality, that the liberal is already neutral and we have to now appease this, this is where we fall short and this is where we fail in the discussion and this is the reason why people reject religion.
