Islam-The Way Of Abraham And An Abrahamic Faith

Last updated on: March 3, 2018 at 5:42 pm By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

Who is the “founder” of Islam? Who “brought” Islam? Most would respond by saying Prophet Muhammad. Many Muslims would give the same answer. But that is not the correct answer. One may say it is only partially correct. The traditional thinking is that Islam was born in Arabia in the early Seventh century C.E. That is also only partially true. Before you get upset, let me explain. The Qur’an describes Islam as a universal religion with a much broader meaning.... Read more

The Big Bang And The Aquatic Origins of Life in the Quran

Last updated on: February 26, 2018 at 8:15 am By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

The creationism and evolution theories are often viewed as being at odds with each other. But are we really dealing with an either/or situation? This post’s focus is on the big bang and the possible origin of life from water and will explore whether we have to pick and choose between Scripture and science. The Big Bang Theory The model of the Big Bang was based on the observation that the distance between galaxies is increasing, indicating that the universe... Read more

A Muslim’s Take On The Lent Plastic Challenge By Church of England

Last updated on: February 20, 2018 at 9:16 pm By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

The Church of England just issued a set of commandments to the followers to reduce the use of plastic products over Lent in order to save the environment from its disastrous effects. The church’s 42 dioceses are being encouraged to participate in the “Lent Plastic Challenge” in order “to reduce the actions which damage God’s Creation”. For Anglicans Lent is the time when we remember the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness, facing challenge and temptation. It is... Read more

Parkland Shooting- Another Plea For Gun Control Laws

Last updated on: February 16, 2018 at 8:21 am By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

How many kids have to die before we will realize that the problem is not mental health. It’s sickening to see the videos from the Parkland high school shooting. Do they not have mentally ill people in Canada and France? Do you see the same type of gun violence there? Of course not. That’s because they have better gun control laws. I am tired of having to keep writing a post- did that after Las Vegas shooting, then Texas church…... Read more

Do the Quran and Bible Really Teach The Universe Was Created in 6 Days?

Last updated on: March 27, 2018 at 6:49 am By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

Blogging gurus have long taught to “not give it out” at the beginning and to save it towards the end. This is part of a debate the creationists and evolutionists have been having for quite some time. I am breaking all the good blogging rules here. I am going to cut to the chase right away: Contrary to the popular belief, the Qur’an and the Bible do not teach that the universe was created in 6 days! Believers are accused... Read more

Is believing in Science Not Based on Faith (in Science)?

Last updated on: February 11, 2018 at 3:14 pm By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

In my last post, I mentioned that religious beliefs are often based on faith, not science. Faith is beyond science. If you believe in something after “science has proven it”, that’s no longer faith. Faith is about believing before science can “prove” or “disprove” your beliefs. Here is my first post on the myths on religion and science being mutually exclusive. Believing in God is mostly faith-based. But let me ask you a question. Is believing in science not based... Read more

Do You Have to Pick Between Religion or Science?

Last updated on: March 27, 2018 at 6:50 am By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

Are religion and science mutually exclusive? Does the knowledge of how things work “prove” that God does not exist? My study of Medical science and the Qur’an (and Bible) over the past few decades has enabled me to review this subject objectively. I will be sharing my thoughts on the rather controversial subject of religion vs science with you in a series of articles. This is part 2 of a series of articles on this subject. In my last post,...

4 Myths about Religion and Science being Mutually Exclusive: Part 1

Last updated on: February 8, 2018 at 11:18 pm By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

Are religion and science incompatible, or mutually exclusive? Does the knowledge of how things work “prove” that God does not exist? Conversely, does God ask the believers to forbid Science? As a medical scientist and a “religious” person myself, I will dispel some myths in a series of articles. In the next several articles, I will highlight specific topics from scientific and religious perspective as they relate to the cosmos, planet earth, animal kingdom, plant kingdom and us- the humans....

5 Reasons to Believe Trump And Republicans Act Unchristian

Last updated on: February 5, 2018 at 9:06 pm By Ejaz Naqvi, MD

Republicans are viewed as a party of Bible-loving Christians. But are their Christian values reflected in their actions and policies? I often see them holding signs for Jesus in one hand and the US flag on the other- as if Jesus was American, or as if America is for Christ-lovers only. It seems the party is fast becoming less diverse and increasingly white men’s party, despite conscious efforts by part leaders to change that perception. But is it just a... Read more

Religion is The Solution Not The Problem- A rebuttal to Hemant Mehta

I don’t write rebuttals to my blogger colleagues on Patheos, but this post from Hemant Mehta was impossible to resist. Hemant Mehta, the ‘Friendly Atheist’ blogger on the Nonreligious channel at Patheos published a post today titled, “What’s the Main Source of Global Conflict? Survey Says: “Religious Beliefs”. I could not disagree with Hemant more- at various fronts. Hemant quotes a survey conducted by US News and World News. … but a new survey from U.S. News & World Report says that 30%... Read more
