New Book | The Creed of Asfahani – Ibn Taymiyyah

During his stay in Egypt in the year 712 AH, Shaykh al-Islām Abū al-Abbās Taqiyy al-Dīn Ibn Taymiyyah—Allah sanctify his secret and illuminate his shrine—was asked to give a commentary on the creed authored by Shaykh Shams al-Dīn Muhammad ibn al-Aṣfahānī, the renowned imam of kalam about whom it was said that Egypt never saw a senior dialectic theologian of his calibre.

New Essay | Epistemic Humility

New Book | Dying to Believe – Imran Hussein

We all love stories; we love to hear them, and we love to tell them. Humans have long used storytelling to convey their most intimate emotions. Whether fact or fiction, stories have afforded humanity a chance to both express themselves and explore their inner selves. In this book, I recount my personal story, which took me from the darkness of nihilism to the light of Islam—a transformative path that guided me from a life devoid of direction to one filled with meaning. I hope and pray that this book serves as a means of guidance for those lost without God and those who may have strayed from the straight path.
