This guy is absolutely amazing & I genuinely admire him

Thank you the subtitles !!! For the deaf people ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏

Best explanation ever about our Creator Of universe ,Masha Allah !

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Allah Almighty says: I am as My servants expects of Me. If he thinks good of Me, he will have it. If he thinks evil of Me, he will have it.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān 639 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Arna’ut

The process you did was wonderful, my Allah bless you and reward you

اللهم وفقهم وتقبلهم برحمتك يا ارحم الراحمين

The answer is simple, ALLAH is Eternal, he has no beginning and has no end.

A very simple explanation of the concept of GOD. It can be easily understood. May Almighty ALLAH reward the Brother for the Da'wah and propagation of Islam. TRUTH/ISLAM doesn't need anybody but we need ISLAM.

One of the cleanest and healthiest discussions on religion. Kudos to both of you.

SubhanAllahe wa behamdehi for scholars like you and for people who take the time to listen and absorb. May Allah Guide them all. Ameen.

As Muslims we should never judge a nonmuslim on their disbelief because they could one day find the Path to Allah and might even get a higher reward on the hereafter. Mashallah, this brother explained really well. May Allah guide us and make us among those he favoured.

I just wondering in the UK, are you allowed to give da'wah like how you did? Is the authority even take any action for doing da'wah? Well, amazing and excellent job! I wish I can be there to witness your speech and explanation regarding the existence of Allah, as the true and one God. Keep it up and never give up!!believe huge rewards are waiting for you and team. Support and peace from Malaysia.🌹👍💪

Ameen for the Dawah brothers! The lady had good questions and you answered them well in the limited time 👏 The 5 times prayer is to express gratitude to the Almighty Creator (Allah). And just as there are unseen benefits to every pillar of Islam ie Ramadan earns you reward from Allah. +The science now is there are numerous benefits to fasting including removal of toxins from the body, increased health, slowing the ageing process and increased life span. Pay Zakat. +We know giving Zakat increases your wealth, mental clarity, self esteem etc. So many acts of worship benefits the worshiper ten fold. Praying 5 times is showing gratitude to Allah, but ALSO the soul on it’s journey during the afterlife will meet very strange, looming, frightening creatures which will try to constrain and drag it down. The prayer and dua you made will be a shield against these creatures. Allowing the soul of the believer to float away easily towards the higher realms.(Jannah). La ilaha ila’llah.

Sister mashallah is on the right path. May Allah reward her mother Jannah and guide her closer to the right path. May Allah guide us all.

I think that woman is great. Very honest, very down to earth....Alhamdilullah

Merry Christmas and Blessing to you all. Please keep me in your prayers durning this time. Being a mother is the best thing that could have happened to me. My husband passed away over three years ago making me a single mother. His passing took such a toll on me. I feel so alone I have two sons both struggle with autism. I recently lost my job due to my failing health (heart attack) and because I declined the vaccine. I only declined because I have had horrible reactions to the flu shot in the past I literally had to be hospitalized. I also have lupus and heart disease. Since losing my job I’ve been struggling to provide the basics for my children. We are facing homelessness this month, which is truly hard because it’s Christmas. I have nowhere to turn. I’m so ashamed. I want to die. Please pray for me. Because I want to give up. Thank you. God bless.

Science is created by Human... It is so limited... No science can answer : Where, how and what we came from, where we are now and where we're going to go after this life in details. Only Religion can do that... Alhamdulillah Islam contains the most complete explanation of that.

MaShaaAllah a very eloquent and well composed Daee of Allah (swt). May we all learn from these role models and be guided on the one true path Ameen

Ya-Allah ☝🏼

Alhamdulillah. Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going? One of the first questions that comes to mind when considering our purpose of life is, "where did we come from?" Are we here based on random natural coincidences or is there a higher intelligent being, a creator? Acknowledging the existence of a creator is the first step in understanding our true purpose in life. There are many logical and rational reasons for believing in a creator. Three reasons are briefly mentioned below. 1. Beginning of the Universe The first evidence that points to the existence of God relates to understanding the origin of the universe. Imagine walking in a desert and finding a watch. We know a watch consists of glass, plastic and metal. Glass comes from sand, plastic from oil, and metal extracted from the ground - all these components are found in the desert. Would you believe that the watch formed itself? That the Sun shone, the wind blew, lightning struck, the oil bubbled to the surface and mixed with the sand and metal, and over millions of years the watch came together by random or natural coincidences? Some may ask, "Who created God"? God, the Creator, is different to His creation. God is eternal, has always existed and has no beginning; therefore the question of who created God is irrational. Human experience and simple logic tells us that something that has a beginning does not simply come from nothing, nor can something create itself. Therefore, the most rational explanation is that a higher "being" created the universe. This "being" must be powerful and intelligent as it brought the whole universe into existence and created the ‘laws of science' which govern it. We can also reason that this "being" is timeless and spaceless, because time, space and matter began at the creation of the universe. All of these attributes make up the basic concept of God, the creator of the universe. This is in perfect agreement with modern science which concludes that the universe is finite and has a beginning 2. Perfection of the Universe The second evidence that points to the existence of an intelligent creator is the order and perfect balance of our complex universe. Many features in the universe clearly indicate it to be specially designed to support life, such as the earth's distance from the sun, the thickness of the earth's crust, the speed at which the earth revolves, the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere, and even the earth's tilt. If these measurements were slightly different to what they currently are, life could not exist. In the same way that a watch has an intelligent maker to keep accurate time, so too must the earth have an intelligent maker to keep accurate time around the sun. Could this occur by itself? When we see the order, precise laws and systems within ourselves and throughout the universe, is it not rational they have an organiser? This ‘organiser' is best explained by the existence of God - the one who brought about this order. 3. Revelation from God The third evidence that points to the existence of God is the actual revelation that God has sent to humankind as a sign of His existence. There are clear signs that the book of Islam, the Quran, is the word of God. Below is a brief summary of reasons that support this claim. The Quran: Is over 1400 years old and contains many scientific facts that were unknown to people of that time and which have only been discovered recently by science. Examples include: water being the origin of all living things (Quran 21:30); the expanding universe (Quran 51:47); and the individual orbits of the sun and moon (Quran 21:33). Contains many historical facts that were unknown to the people of that time as well as numerous predictions which have proven to be correct. Is free from any errors or contradictions despite gradual revelation over 23 years and covering a wide variety of topics. Has been preserved, word-for-word, since its revelation in its original Arabic language, unlike other scriptures which no longer exist in their original form. Has a simple, pure and universal message which appeals to Man's intellect and inherent beliefs about Almighty God. Has a deep and moving effect on people. Was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who was known to be illiterate, yet contains a unique style of language that is universally known as the pinnacle of Arabic eloquence and linguistic beauty. The most rational explanation for the many unique and miraculous aspects of the Quran is that it is from God. God Sends Guidance Upon acknowledging that we have been created by the All-Wise Creator, we would expect to be informed of our purpose. How can we know what God expects from us? Do we live in trial and error, or make our own purpose? Do we "go with the flow" by following others? No. God sent Prophets and revelation to inform us of our purpose. God sent thousands of Prophets, at least one to every nation, with the same message: to worship God alone and to follow His guidance. They included Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them all). Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the last in the chain of Prophets, was the perfect example of an honest, just, compassionate and brave human being. He was sent with the final revelation from God, the Quran, to demonstrate how its teachings should be applied. The Quran is a book of guidance and explains many concepts such as the purpose of our existence; who God is; the actions liked and disliked by God; the stories of the Prophets and their lessons; accounts of Heaven, Hell, and the Day of Judgement. It aims to clarify misunderstandings about the nature of God, such as clarifying the nature and role of Jesus compared to the nature of God. Jesus, like all the other Prophets, performed miracles and called to the worship of The One true God (Quran 19:36). The Nature of Jesus When trying to understand the concept of God in Islam, it is important to discuss the status of Jesus, given the widespread confusion and claims about his nature. Some Christians claim that "Jesus is God" or part of a trinity - that is, he is the incarnation of God on earth and that God took on a human form. However, according to the Bible, Jesus was born, ate, slept, prayed and had limited knowledge - all attributes not befitting God. God has attributes of perfection whereas Man is the opposite. So how can anything be two complete opposites both at the same time? This is not rational. However, some may ask, "If God can do anything, why can't he become a man?" By definition, God does not do ungodly acts, so if God became man and took on human attributes, he would, necessarily, no longer be God. Furthermore, the Bible contains many verses in which Jesus speaks and behaves as if God is a separate being to himself. For example, Jesus "fell on his face and prayed" [Matthew 26:39]. If Jesus was God, then would a God fall on his face and pray? And, who would he be praying to? Some Christians claim that "Jesus is the Son of God." We should ask ourselves, what does this actually mean? Surely God is far removed from having a physical and literal son. Rather, we find that the term "Son of God" is symbolically used in the earliest biblical languages for a "righteous person". It is used throughout the Old Testament for many righteous people such as David, Solomon and Israel - not exclusively for Jesus, "...Israel is my firstborn son," (Exodus 4:22) is one such example. "It is not befitting for Allah to take a son; He is perfect and flawless!"Quran 19:35 The Islamic belief about Jesus explains who the real Jesus was, whilst maintaining the pure belief about God and His complete Greatness, Uniqueness and Perfection. Jesus was as an honourable Prophet sent by God to call to the worship of God alone. So... why am I here? Everyone would acknowledge that our body parts, such as our eyes, ears, brains and hearts, have a purpose. Wouldn't it then make sense that the individual, as a whole, also has a purpose? God, the All Wise, did not create us to simply wander aimlessly or to only fulfil our basic instincts and desires. Rather, we have a higher purpose - to acknowledge and worship God alone, so that we live upon the guidance of our Creator. This guidance enables us to live a successful and blessed life in all aspects. This includes personal acts of virtue like prayer, as well as beneficial acts to society, like being good to one's neighbours, supporting one's family, honesty, and caring for animals. God forbids us from worshiping anything else (e.g. statues, the sun, moon, saints, priests or even Prophets). He does not need any partners or intermediaries. Everyone can always worship God directly. God describes this life as a test, and people are tested in different ways. We cannot control what happens to us, but we can control how we react. Patience during adversities, and gratitude for blessings, are a means of getting closer to God and attaining eternal Paradise. We are also warned of a terrible punishment in Hell if we choose to disbelieve and ignore His commands. So... what do I do now? The test of one's faith is in using one's intellect to contemplate and recognise God's signs and live according to His guidance. This is done by submitting to God's commands, which in Arabic means to become a "Muslim". God, the One and only Creator - 'Allah' in Arabic - has made Islam accessible to everyone, regardless of their history, background or present situation. Therefore, anyone can become a Muslim by simply believing in, and uttering the following testimony of faith: "I testify that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is Allah's Messenger." Isn't it time for you to fulfil your purpose of life, submit to the truth and acknowledge your Creator?

SIR, YOU ARE GREAT.

You are the soul!.

Best explanation ever.

Sallalahu Alayhi Wa sallam

her voice is like Aisha Rosalie mother

jazakallah

Correction: Keith moore agreed that it is not possible for someone to know the accurate information about the Embriol in the Quran at the time of the prophet, therefore he agree that it should have come only from God. But Keith moore never left Christianity and continued to practice religion accordignly.

Mashallah

In Bangladesh we about 5 million Hafez

Correct me if I'm wrong. I can't find any sources that states Keith Moore accepted Islam, so I don't think he did. There's an interview where he said that he's still a Christian, but he has colleagues who accepted Islam.

MashaAllah

May Allah grant her Hidayat. Ameen

i see her face at the ending, wow! surprise ending indeed! 16:15

Very appreciate for Indonesian translation on CC... Great job Brothers

Shaikh Uthman from london 😄

Asslaam alaikum 👌👌👌 Mashallah (I don’t want to give the brother nazar) Alhamdullilah 👍🇬🇧👌

From Amsterdam

I can proof GOD exist, by the wonders of his works most especially through miracles.

wow this guy is such am amazing orator :) if there is anyway i can talk to you plesae let me know. love ur intelligence and smooth debate techniques.

Simple how can u have perfection from destruction,allah huakbar

One STEP at a time

Is there a source for Keith Moore conversion. I believe his work is valid with or without his conversion. However I couldn’t find concrete proof he did convert and In a discourse presenting unverified information maybe misleading. May Allah accept from you and your team. JazakAllah.

Best message was to tell her that her Mum if she was a good person and she seems to be, despite not being Muslim Insha'Allah she might still enter heaven because Allah (SWT) said : "we would not punish them until we send a messenger" and her Mum like most westernetrs never heard the clear message of Islam

How much good deeds must we do to enter paradise?

Brother looks very similar to Mufti Menk, his way of speaking us also very similar

God is not a human or other living being, God is not a statue or other inanimate object, God is not a soul, nor is it a spirit or other supernatural beings, but God is above all, God cannot be seen & cannot be imagined, but God only gives fortune or goodness for all of nature, knowledge, guidelines for life and signs of its existence and power that spread widely on earth and in the sky.

This was really good but one thing I would say is to not position the ‘scientific facts’ but like how you did as if that’s the yard stick. I get it’s used to help the argument but from an Islamic point of view that’s not the criteria. For example, if the embryo example you have was different we wouldn’t say we are wrong we’d say science is, in short. Hope that makes sense.

Good

"who created the Creator?" is like asking "what printed the printer?". Every book, magazine, newspaper, etc must've been printed by a printer. But it would be absurd to ask what "printed" the "printer" . That is why the question "Who created the Creator?" is invalid. No one says the pyramids evolved from rocks. The same goes for the universe. Even if we cannot see the Creator in this life, the signs of His existence are overwhelming. And beyond proofs and signs, everyone is born with inner belief in God, even atheists. It is what makes look up to the sky when you feel helpless. We called in Islam "Al Fitrah". The question is what does God wants from us? Is there a religion to follow in order to please our Creator? My advice is read the Qur'an and make up your own mind.

Chapter (5) sūrat l-māidah (The Table spread with Food) Sahih International: Say, "O People of the Scripture, you are [standing] on nothing until you uphold [the law of] the Torah, the (GOSPEL, )and what has been revealed to you from your Lord." And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. So do not grieve over the disbelieving people. i highlighted ( GOSPEL ) i don't know what belief you have but for anyone else reading this it says in the quran you are [standing] on nothing until you uphold [the law of] the Torah, the (GOSPEL, )and what has been revealed to you from your Lord."

❤

Please blure lightly can't see opponent expression...

Brother you guys are doing great job.May Allah (SWT) accept it from all of you and reward you high.But please don't hesitate to convey the actual truth (There is none worthy of worship except Allah) let's spread the message of islam clearly..indeed truth never adjust with falsehood.👇 And say, “Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Falsehood is surely bound to vanish.” [Quran17:81]

Where can I meet this man? I’d love to speak with him on this level.

Switch the chocolate to gold and it will word better! Thank you brother

We have done our best to tell you the logics n the steps you need, to find the truth, mom... lets see if you care bout the truth ofctge Quranul kareem... Bismillah... in the name of the allmighty allknowing Creator... muslims call Him. ALLAH... HE is not male or female... he is the only creator, One who sources it (anything) out to humanity, not vice versa... with free will... free will is not a cause, but Allah gave us that special ability, read n communicate, which leads us to humility n all the bestvthings

Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. 2It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. 3Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.” 4When Jesus heard that, He said, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” 5Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was. 7Then after this He said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.” 8The disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to stone You, and are You going there again?” 9Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 10But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.” 11These things He said, and after that He said to them, “Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.” 12Then His disciples said, “Lord, if he sleeps he will get well.” 13However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep. 14Then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead. 15And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him.” 16Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with Him.” I Am the Resurrection and the Life 17So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days. 18Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away. 19And many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 20Now Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house. 21Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. 22But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.” 23Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” 25Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” 27She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” Jesus and Death, the Last Enemy 28And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, “The Teacher has come and is calling for you.” 29As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came to Him. 30Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met Him. 31Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.” 32Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. 34And He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.” 35Jesus wept. 36Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!” 37And some of them said, “Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?” Lazarus Raised from the Dead 38Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 39Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.” 40Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” 43Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” 44And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.” The Plot to Kill Jesus 45Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him. 46But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things Jesus did. 47Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, “What shall we do? For this Man works many signs. 48If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation.” 49And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, 50nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.” 51Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad. 53Then, from that day on, they plotted to put Him to death. 54Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there remained with His disciples. 55And the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves. 56Then they sought Jesus, and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, “What do you think-that He will not come to the feast?” 57Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it, that they might seize Him.
