Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon

To Allah we belong and to Him we return

It is with sadness that we announce the death of Ahmed Hussein, the father of our colleague and beloved brother Imran Hussein.

We pray that Allah grants him jannatul firdeous without reckoning and that Allah makes it easy on Imran and his family.

Janaza details will be announced shortly, in-shaa-a-Allah.

New Sapient Answer!


Is The Qur'an Outdated On The Origins Of The Universe?


✍️ Salih Hamid Fatih


🔗 www.sapienceinstitute.org/is-quran-outdated/


ℹ️ Some claim that the Qur’an contradicts modern cosmology by asserting that the Earth was created before the heavens and stars. This article analyses the linguistic structure, rhetorical aims, and exegetical tradition of the relevant verses to show that such accusations are based on misreadings and ignore the Qur’an’s rich, multi-layered discourse.

🔗 www.sapienceinstitute.org/sunset-case-study/

ℹ️ Critics argue that a verse in the Qur’an describing the sun setting in a muddy spring is a scientific error, suggesting the text endorses an outdated cosmology. This article examines classical and contemporary interpretations to demonstrate that the verse employs phenomenal language and does not conflict with established scientific facts.

🔍 Is Islam Wrong About the Age of Consent?

✍️ Salih Hamid Fatih

ℹ️ Modern human rights discourse often criticises Islam for not categorically prohibiting marriage under the age of 18, framing it as a violation of dignity and childhood. This article explores how Islamic law, rooted in timeless principles of harm reduction and cultural flexibility, approaches the issue of early marriage without compromising moral integrity.
