Did AI really start in Silicon Valley… or does its story go back over 1,200 years?

Most people don’t realise that the foundation of artificial intelligence begins with algebra — and the man who systemised it: Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi.

His revolutionary method of step-by-step problem solving became the basis of algorithms — the same logic that powers AI, coding, and modern technology today.

So every time you use AI, search Google, or interact with smart technology… you’re benefiting from a legacy that started in the Islamic Golden Age.

The question is… why don’t more people know this?

Did you know that iron doesn’t actually originate on Earth? Modern science tells us that iron is formed deep inside massive stars under extreme temperatures reaching hundreds of millions to billions of degrees. When those stars explode as supernovae, iron is scattered across the universe and eventually makes its way to planets like Earth.

But what’s truly remarkable is that over 1400 years ago, the Qur’an already stated this.

In Surah Al-Hadid (57:25), Allah says: “We sent down iron, in which is great strength and benefits for mankind.”

At a time when no one had any knowledge of stellar physics or nuclear fusion, this statement was made clearly and confidently.

Is this coincidence… or something more?

Most people think coffee began in Europe. Italian cafés. Parisian culture. Modern coffee shops.

But the real story goes back centuries earlier to the Muslim world.

Coffee first spread through Yemen, where Muslim scholars and worshippers used the drink to stay awake during long nights of prayer and remembrance. By the 1400s, coffee houses were already thriving across cities like Mecca, Cairo, and Istanbul, becoming centers of discussion, knowledge, and community.

From there, coffee traveled to Europe through trade routes and eventually became one of the most popular drinks on earth.

The last 10 nights of Ramadan are the most powerful nights of the entire year. Even if you feel exhausted, this is the moment to keep going. The Prophet pbuh increased his worship during these final nights, searching for Laylatul Qadr - a night better than a thousand months.

If Ramadan has been difficult, remember that feeling tired is normal. What matters is continuing the effort. A small prayer, a sincere dua, or a few moments with the Qur’an could coincide with the night that changes everything.

Don’t miss the greatest opportunity of Ramadan. Finish strong.

Many people believe Sunni and Shia Islam are completely different religions. But the truth may surprise you.

Both Sunni and Shia Muslims believe in one God, the Qur’an as the final revelation, and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the final messenger. The difference originally began after the Prophet’s death in 632 over the question of leadership.

Despite historical differences, Muslims around the world still share the same declaration of faith.

As the Prophet Muhammad said, the believers are like one body. When one part suffers, the whole body feels the pain.

Why do Muslims face Mecca when they pray? Do Muslims worship the Kaaba?

Many people assume that Muslims bow to a building, but the truth is very different. In Islam, the Kaaba is not an object of worship. It is a symbol of unity that gives Muslims a single direction for prayer, known as the Qibla.

In this short video, we explore the powerful historical moment when the direction of Muslim prayer changed during the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). What happened in Medina that caused Muslims to turn toward the Kaaba in Mecca? And why has this direction united billions of Muslims for over 1400 years?

From Sydney to Istanbul, Jakarta to London, Muslims stand shoulder to shoulder facing the same direction, reminding the world of the unity at the heart of Islam.

Watch to understand the real reason Muslims face Mecca.

Did the moon really split during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him?

According to the Qur’an in Surah Al-Qamar (54:1), “The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split.” Islamic tradition records that this miracle occurred in Makkah after the Quraysh demanded a sign.
