How true is the idea?
Atheists and non-Muslims have many complaints about Islam, some of which are presented through scientific or philosophical arguments, while others arise from preconceptions, confusion, or misrepresentations of Islam. One of the most common of these complaints is: “Islam promotes violence and is hostile to non-Muslims.” This complaint has been raised many times in various media outlets, in the writings of Islamophobic intellectuals, or in the political landscape of religious division. In this article, I will analyze this complaint in depth and see how much of this idea is true, how much is exaggerated, and how much is the result of misinterpretation.

Ignorance
Some superstitions prevalent in the name of religion and the relevant position of Islam: Part II In the history of human civilization, on the one hand, religion has been established as a means of teaching morality, values, and humanity, on the other hand, some mistakes and superstitions have also been embedded in society in the name of religion, which are contrary to mainstream religious teachings and rational consciousness. Most of these have come as a result of ignorance, greed for power, or attempts to maintain social control. In this article, we will analyze some more mistakes or superstitions prevalent in some religions and finally see what Islam says about them.

There is a surprising similarity even amidst the differences.
In the history of human civilization, religion has been a force that has driven people to search for morality, meaning of life, relationships, self-purification and an ultimate truth. Various religions have emerged in different nations and territories, in different historical contexts. But if we look deeply, we see that there is a surprising similarity amidst the various differences — all religions in one way or another call people to morality, good deeds, kindness, self-control and a search for a supreme power. These similarities tell us that the fundamental purpose of religion is to guide people on the path of human welfare, self-purification and ultimate truth.

Understanding the American style of fiction writing
The American style of fiction has long been defined by a voice that favors clarity, realism and emotional restraint. It emerged in the 20th century as a kind of literary antidote to ornate, philosophical prose, embracing instead a rough-edged economy of language. It didn’t try to sound clever. It tried to sound true.

Tips for Young Filipino Writers
Isko sat beneath a mango tree with a chewed-up pen and a spiral notebook filled with crossed-out dreams. The pages smelled faintly of adobo and ink. “Paano ba ‘to?” he muttered, as the wind whispered a reply only writers could understand. If you've ever been like Isko—hopeful, stuck, and itching to write the next great Filipino tale—then you're not alone.

Women should be subordinate to men.
Allegation: The Quran says that women should be subordinate to men, so Islam is misogynistic and patriarchal. Many anti-Islamic and atheistic circles repeatedly raise an old allegation to prove that Islam is ‘misogynistic’—that is, the Quran says that “women are subordinate to men,” and that Islam oppresses women, does not give them freedom, and has made women a kind of ‘second-class citizen.’ Behind this propaganda, they usually quote one or two specific verses and ignore the rest of the previous and subsequent statements, trying to establish Islam as a patriarchal, conservative, and discriminatory religion. However, the real truth is that Islam has given women such respect, dignity, and rights that were unimaginable in the seventh century, and modern ‘feminism’ has still failed to establish an equal balance.

The person praying must be a true Muslim.
“A true Muslim must be a true Muslim”—this sentence is not just a religious advice, but rather a real truth at the heart of the Islamic way of life, a fundamental principle, rooted deep in the Quran and Sunnah. Prayer is one of the five pillars of Islam, but to keep this pillar strong requires a heart that is filled with reverence and fear of Allah, and a life in which prayer is not just a formality, but a translation of ideals and character.

The Day That Made Everything Differently
It didn’t happen in a grand moment. There were no fireworks, no final words from a wise stranger, no movie-worthy epiphany. It happened on a quiet afternoon, the kind that almost passes unnoticed. But somehow, that day changed everything. It didn’t just change how I saw the world. It changed how I saw myself. That day began like any other. I was sitting alone in my small room, the curtain half drawn, letting in a grey slice of sky. I remember feeling tired in a way that went beyond sleep—a deep, soul-level exhaustion. I had spent months pretending to be okay. Smiling when I was breaking inside. Answering, "I'm fine," when I wasn’t even close. It’s strange how long you can carry pain before you even realize it has a name. For months, I had been spiraling through anxiety, tangled in burnout, and slowly losing my sense of purpose. Life felt like a loop: wake up, fake energy, go through the motions, collapse at night, repeat. But on this particular day, something cracked open. Not loudly, but quietly, like a whisper you almost miss. I was scrolling through my phone, desperately trying to feel something. I stumbled upon a video—just a short clip of a girl talking about how she had finally started healing. She wasn’t doing anything dramatic. She just spoke with a softness in her voice that made me stop and listen. She said, "I stopped trying to fix myself and started trying to understand myself." Those words hit me like a tidal wave. I paused the video and sat still. For the first time in a long while, I let silence come in. I didn’t scroll past the feeling. I didn’t try to bury it. I just sat there, breathing, heart pounding, tears filling my eyes. Because the truth was, I had been so focused on surviving, I forgot how to live. I had been so obsessed with being strong that I never gave myself permission to be human. And for the first time, I saw my pain not as a problem to solve, but as a message. A quiet, persistent cry from a part of me I had long ignored. That was the moment everything began to shift. I started asking questions I had been too afraid to ask: What if being lost wasn’t failure, but the beginning of being found? What if my sadness wasn’t weakness, but evidence of how deeply I feel? What if I stopped pretending and started being? That day didn’t fix my life. It didn’t magically erase the scars or give me all the answers. But it gave me something far more valuable—it gave me permission. Permission to rest. Permission to cry. Permission to hope again. In the weeks that followed, I started doing things differently. I wrote in a journal, not to be wise or poetic, but just to say the truth. I sat with my feelings instead of rushing to escape them. I told a friend, "I’m not okay," and for the first time, I meant it. And slowly, I started healing. Healing isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it looks like getting out of bed when you didn’t think you could. Sometimes, it’s choosing to take a deep breath instead of yelling. Sometimes, it’s just looking in the mirror and saying, "I’m still here." That one quiet day was the turning point. Not because it gave me everything, but because it showed me that I already had something worth holding on to: myself. It’s hard to explain how much one moment of honesty can change a life. But it did. I started seeing my broken pieces not as flaws, but as maps—each scar telling a story, each crack letting the light in. I began to believe that maybe, just maybe, I didn’t need to be perfect to be worthy of love, of peace, of a good life. We often wait for big moments to change us. But sometimes, it’s the quiet ones—the days when nothing seemed special, but something shifted inside. So, if you’re feeling lost right now, I want to tell you this: your turning point might not come with noise or drama. It might come in silence, in tears you didn’t plan to cry, in a sentence that suddenly makes your heart ache. And that’s okay. Because change doesn't always arrive with thunder. Sometimes, it comes as a whisper. And if you’re willing to listen, it can lead you back to yourself. That was the day that changed me forever. And I didn’t become someone else. I just became someone real.
