Signs of the Last Day | Foundations of Islam, Part 7
Why the Qurʾān uses history without being a history book, and what the hour means against the other Arabic words for time. The prophets as a challenge to the mega machine, the signs already fulfilled and those still intensifying, the meanings of Dajjāl drawn from the classical dictionaries, and…

The Concept of Iḥsān | Foundations of Islam, Part 6
Islam, īmān and iḥsān as three dimensions of one hadith, with time as the fourth. Why the post-colonial Muslim world fixed on the outward dimension alone, from Napoleon in Egypt to the Marxists of the 1970s who became the Islamists of the 1980s. Then iḥsān itself: worship as if one sees God…

The Articles of Faith, Part 2 | Foundations of Islam, Part 5
Why qadr is the most misunderstood concept in the tradition, and why khayr and sharr are abundance and want before they are good and evil. Then a long digression into the Sharīʿah — the five things it preserves, what a fatwā actually is, lineage, honour and inheritance — and the stages of the...

The Articles of Faith, Part 1 | Foundations of Islam, Part 4

The Pillars of Practice, Part 1 | Foundations of Islam, Part 2
Why a tradition should be allowed to speak for itself before its practitioners are judged, and what the Qurʾān means by Islam: all creation in submission, the religion of Abraham and Isaac, the religion perfected in the Prophet Muhammad, and the surrender that is death. The hadith of Gabriel and...

How the Qur'an Was Revealed and Compiled | Foundations of Islam, Part 1
Why the Qurʾān is a recital before it is a book, and why that matters for a people who had no book at all. The cave on the mountain of light and the first word, iqraʾ; the themes of the Meccan years; memorisation as the primary means of preservation; and the collection under Abū Bakr and the...
