The Original Shahadah in the Time of the Messenger of Allah SAW
What wording of the Shahadah did the Messenger of Allah SAW teach? The Hadith of Jibril in Sahih Muslim 8a and the post-wudu narration in Sahih Muslim 234a preserve two authentic wordings that must be understood in their proper contexts. Their difference is not a contradiction but a reason to examine the Prophet’s teaching with greater care.
Where Do the Prophets Fit in the Theory of Malay Origins?

Is the Malay Word Related to the Expression al-Mala’i from Bani Israel?
The Qur’an does not mention “Melayu” in its modern spelling, yet Surah al-Baqarah 2:246 contains the expression al-Mala’i from Bani Israel. Could this sound resemblance preserve a trace of forgotten history, or is it the starting point of a hypothesis that still needs to be proven?

Qalbun Salim Is a Forerunner to Jannah
