“I am convinced about the veracity of my opinions, but I do consider it likely that they may turn out to be incorrect. Likewise, I am convinced about the incorrectness of the views different from mine, but I do concede the possibility that they may turn out to be correct.” — Imam Shafa’i

This site accommodates ideas on Islam that are correct to my knowledge. The only claim I can make to knowing Islam is that I have had a very special privilege of learning from some outstanding religious personalities.

I sent a tweet on April 30 which read like this: “A former playboy can be an angel after repentance; he can be eligible to the best paradise but not to lead Muslims. U've a right to disagree.” The tweet met with an unusually negative response. So strong was it that I had to decide that I would stop using my twitter account until after the elections were over. My view was partly a personal opinion and partly a religious one. I will explain what I meant by it.

Has religion been useful for mankind or has it caused more harm than good? How does one respond to it given the teachings and the history of the practice of world religions in general and that of Islam in particular? Is it a great idea to view the matters pertaining to truth purely from the narrow lenses of utilitarianism?
