About
Reading the tradition through its own sources
Islam in Bits examines the Islamic tradition through its own sources,tafsīr, hadith, legal theory,and asks what those sources actually say when read carefully, and what they leave unresolved.
Each article takes a single verse, concept, theme, or legal question and traces it through the classical commentaries, canonical collections, and jurisprudential frameworks that shaped how Muslims have lived with these texts for centuries. The goal is to surface what the tradition built.
Why This Exists
This project reads the classical commentators, the canonical hadith collections, and the legal frameworks to understand what they actually authorized and what tensions they left intact. The questions matter as much as whatever conclusions follow.
