Speaker 🗣️ : Yasir Qadhi
Speaker addresses the philosophical and theological question of how one can be certain of their faith’s truth, specifically within the context of Islam.
▶ The Problem:
- It's difficult to know which religion is true, especially if you're born into a particular faith.
- Studying every religion is impractical.
▶ The Islamic Solution:
- The concept of Fitra:
● An innate disposition towards recognizing God and good.
● Every child is born with this inherent compass.
● It gets corrupted by society and culture (except for Muslims).
● Islam aligns perfectly with the Fitra.
▶ Supporting Arguments:
- Converts to Islam often feel an immediate sense of belonging.
- High level of religious practice among Muslims compared to others.
- The story of Allah questioning souls before birth (affirming His existence through the Fitra).
▶ Overall Message:
- Islam provides an internal validation of faith through the Fitra.
- It solves the problem of choosing a religion by aligning with our natural disposition.
