A weekly dispatch reviving the primordial covenant of Abraham. We unearth forgotten truths, decode scripture with reason, and challenge modern problems with an ancient code. Not a modern religion. A restoration.
The Neoliberal Order and the Veiling of the Covenantal Reality
There is something deep at the root of the problems we face, and the solution thatâs staring straight at us. But itâs an uncomfortable pill for many because it means we have to accept weâve been conditioned and lied to. Itâs something hard for the ego to manage. Yes, we can accept it when it come...

Strategic Unity?
If there is one topic that British Muslims perpetually return to, it is the lament over their lack of strategic unity, often expressed in comparison to Jews. The conversation follows a familiar pattern of a few earnest voices calling for cohesion, invoking examples of Jewish organisation, politic...

Beyond Theology: The Abrahamic Covenant as Pure Reason
In the Ishmaelite legacy, what the modern West calls âtheologyâ does not truly exist. Theology is a foreign construct, born not from the Abrahamic code (dÄŤn) but from the intellectual culture of Greece and the scholastic traditions of the Christian West. It arose from the Greek word theologĂa (di...

The "Truth" claims of Ideology: Words and Actions
For decades, proponents of "Islamic da'wah" (Muslim missionary work) have asserted that Islam is the ultimate "truth". However, the concept of "truth" can be nebulous when viewed through the lens of practical outcomes. What does it mean for an ideology or belief system to be true? If "truth" equa...

The Colonial Manufacture of âIslamâ and the Erasure of the Abrahamic Legacy
Western colonialism was not merely like former world empires. The British carved artificial borders in Africa and South Asia and embedded categories like âHinduâ and âMuslimâ into law, fixing identities that served imperial control.

Obedience and Service in the Covenant Tradition
Â
The covenantal tradition, as preserved in both the Tanakh and the Qurâan (Proclamation), speaks a common language: the language of submission. This submission is active fidelity expressed through two central verbs in the Israelite tradition: ׊ָ××֡ע (shamaĘż, âto hear, to obeyâ) and עָ×Öˇ× (Ężavad/...

Submission in Context
âIf the final revelation is about Abrahamic restoration - a return to the primordial tradition of Abraham along with covenantal fidelity, then where does the term âsubmitterâ (Ů

) fit into this?â
The Proclamation (Qurâan in Arabic) never uses âsubmissionâ or âsubmitterâ as the name of a new rel...

Dominant vs. Majority Culture in Modern British Islam
Â
The notion of âmainstreamâ is often invoked to legitimise an idea by appealing to what is assumed to be the view of the majority. However, the term is used uncritically and treated as self-evident, obscuring an important distinction between two separate sociological concepts: dominant culture a...

What does it mean to support the Palestinians?
Iâm always careful not to conflate issues. Despite the childish claims we often hear about "sellouts" or accusations that certain political actors have betrayed God, the reality is that political strategy doesn't always intersect directly with faith in God. The world is complex, and solutions to ...

Creative Destruction and Restoring the Ishmaelite Legacy
Creative destruction is a philosophical framework that recognises the necessity of rupture to facilitate higher-order renewal. Joseph Schumpeter popularised the concept in speaking about capitalism whereby progress arises from relentless cycles of innovation and erasure. We see this principle as ...

Symbolic belief
This critique touches on a profound and necessary tension within the modern phenomenon called "Islam" that has become a system of symbolic belief that is abstract, imaginal, and socially performative and stands in contrast to the revelatory intent of the Proclamation (Qurâan) and the covenantal c...

An Abrahamic-Semitic Approach?
The study of the past has always been a contested terrain, whether that be in regard to people across traditions or those within a tradition. But when engaging with history, particularly the past as narrated by God in His final Proclamation (Qur'an), we're at liberty to ask: Which perspective are...
