Digital Revolution – From Reflection to Reaction
Digital life has made humans reactive but not reflective because it replaces the metaphysical stillness necessary for reflection with perpetual stimulation, eroding the interiority of the self and rendering man a creature of impulse rather than meaning. I. The Digital Mirage: Presence without Depth In the age of digital life, man has become ever-present but never truly there. Notifications, reels, tweets, and algorithmic newsfeeds saturate the human field of attention. The effect is not merely informational – it is ontological. For man no longer inhabits time as a contemplative being; he inhabits a rhythm of reaction. What once belonged to moments of silence – prayer, remembrance (dhikr), tafakkur (reflection), or…

Tolerance as Treason: How Liberal Muslims Betray Truth
I – The Burial of Truth When a civilisation buries Truth, its ‘tolerance’ is a polite nihilism. Allah declares, ‘Truth has arrived and falsehood has vanished; surely falsehood is ever bound to perish’ (17:81). The modern call for tolerance is not rooted in truth, but in exhaustion from conflict.

Yet true tolerance, in the Qur’anic and Prophetic tradition, is not born of relativism, it is born of reverence, reverence for truth, and thus for the human capacity to seek it. Without such a shared metaphysical ground, the language of…

I In a world increasingly obsessed with diagnosis, the proliferation of problems has become its own self-sustaining industry, a vast machinery of concern that thrives not on the resolution of ailments, but on their perpetual redefinition and reproduction. Every domain of modern discourse, from activist circles to academic departments, from NGO funding proposals to political manifestos, from mental health apps to global development goals, functions by constantly generating new categories of disorder, disadvantage, and dysfunction. We are no longer allowed to simply be; we must now be diagnosed. One must have a trauma, a disorder, an oppression, a crisis of identity to be taken seriously. Entire vocabularies, terms like microaggressions,…

The Catastrophe of One Generation: A Cultural Holocaust in the Making
The generation born in the 1980s and 1990s stands as a fragile bridge between a world lost and a world looming – a generation that did not merely encounter modernity, but was engulfed by it. They are now raising children without being raised themselves by a living tradition. These men and women, now parents, were the first to be shaped not by awraad fatiha, but by Shahrukh Khan, Honey Singh, Enrique Iglesias, and the algorithmic chaos of social media feeds. The names of their childhood are not those of saints or scholars, but of actors, influencers, and unanchored ideologues. Raised in nuclear homes away from the hearths of grandmothers whispering…

A Message to NEET Aspirants Who Gave It Their All
To those who prayed, persisted, and prepared with sincerity for NEET but didn’t make it: know that you haven’t failed. You’ve been tested in a deeper way—a test not of marks or ranks, but of patience, trust, and resilience. What may look like failure to the world may, in God’s eyes, be the very moment He is elevating you. In a system built by modern men, results matter the most. But in the Divine economy and in the world of real men, effort, intention, and sincerity are the currency of value.
