New Book | The Death of Neo-Darwinism

For over a century, Neo-Darwinism has dominated evolutionary biology, with Richard Dawkins as its leading proponent. However, in "The Death of Neo-Darwinism," authors Subboor Ahmad & Salman Butt engage with Denis Noble’s insights to expose the logical flaws in its gene-centric, reductionist framework, which no longer aligns with modern molecular biology. By contrasting Dawkins' narrow view with Noble’s integrative approach, they advocate for a systems-based understanding of life that transcends outdated reductionism. Bridging science and philosophy, this work challenges readers to reconsider a belief system rooted in a scientific theory open to revision. As the concept of evolution evolves, this biological revolution is set to reshape discussions in theology, psychology, politics, economics, and our understanding of existence.

New Book | Is Muhammad ﷺ Truly a Prophet of God?

The Prophet of Islam has long been misrepresented, perhaps more than any other figure in the history of religious movements. Likewise, Islam itself is often one of the most misunderstood faiths, particularly in the West. What may be the most profound distortion is the prevailing belief that "religious faith" means believing without evidence or worse, believing despite evidence. As Richard Dawkins claims, it's faith that contradicts reason and proof. But is that really the case? This book is a thoughtful, measured attempt to challenge these misconceptions. Through reason, history, and science, it seeks to uncover the true character of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, explore the message of the Quran, and ultimately test the authenticity of Islam. Is Islam a blind leap of faith, or is it a belief system deeply rooted in compelling evidence that harmonizes intellect and revelation?
