Revelation does not cease
There is a verse about God’s oneness in the Quran, painted by how it’s impossible for a servant to have two masters. Yet, in many instances throughout the Quran, God is constantly mentioned together with the prophet Muhammad (الله ورسوله). So to me, that verse about a servant having two masters serves an important point; when…

Your and mine experience
“How can you understand oppression if you’re not oppressed?” There is something called logic, imagination, inquiry, reason, understanding, conclusion, comparison, association, empathy, deduction, relating among many other things. We are all human and share the human experience. We all live in the same world. You don’t need to understand something fully to understand the essence…

Hold my hand
People get called various personal attacks by one end of the political spectrum when they are, for example, being a certain skin color and not caring about or agreeing with certain issues related to that skin color. Or for being part of one group and caring about another. But isn’t caring about and acknowledging the…

Radiance
When I have seen people in the past, whether their skin is white or black or anything else, I have never even once looked at them and thought “oh, that’s a black person” or “oh, that’s a white person”. Up until recently, where the constantly contended issues in which (in my view) irrelevant weight is…

About the burnings of the Holy Quran
Dear Muslims, You now have the greatest chance to prove to the world, the vastness of your religion’s complexity and its deep ability to handle conflict. It is now that you have a chance to show the world a mark of your religion’s tolerance and peace. It is now that you can show the greatness…

Life misses you
I feel like when one positions one’s perception of things within life on a large-scale level (such as global politics and activism), then life, its meaning and innocence begins to suffer. One gets so caught up in the tides of fluctuating thinking and incriminating principles that one begins to forget and lose sight of what…

Never!
I will never let someone take the innocence of my mind from me. And I will never let it be impregnated by superficial and double standard ideals and politics! I will never let it be tainted by problematic solutions, just because they’re in reach. And I will never let it be clawed by those on…

A pioneer in constructiveness
When a problem occurs, be the one who wants to solve it! Because that’s how the problem gets solved! That’s how bridges are built, and compassion grown! If one takes offense, and seeks but to retaliate, then the problem will only get worse, and no one will be helped. Raise your own flag of constructiveness…

Healthy debate
Can we please, everyone, start listening to and responding to the actual point of an argument, instead of resorting to personal attacks or attacks on the structure of the argument? Because those things don’t say anything about whether the actual point someone proposes is true or not. What matters is whether a statement is true…

The gardener and the warrior
War is a wretchedness. A misfortune. A nuisance. An infliction. Not the standard, which the statement “I’d rather be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war” infers. It is not those that are unable to defend themselves that are to be blamed for the harms caused by war. It is those…

Night and day
Cancel culture doesn’t seem to be able to grasp perhaps one of the most infant forms of perceiving truth; that two things (or more) can be true and of importance at the same time.

Virtues
Virtues such as inclusion, representation, diversity etcetera, are good, but they exist in relation to other virtues as well. It is wrong to take specific virtues and give them blanket unlimited virtuousness that override all others. It is like baking a cake and following a recipe, where all ingredients represents a virtue. Each different virtue…
