Londoniyyah - Part 27 - Qadr | Mohammed Hijab 

How this series hasn’t been sponsored by Capri Sun yet is beyond me

sapience my home for knowledge . i did 90% of ur studies ,courses, webinars, books, sapience thought , londoniyah etc

Actually this is making me believe in God even more

"If you leave Islam for this, what other world system will solve it for you?" that was deep man💔

When it comes to qadr it's important to have humility and accept that Allah SWT knows best and this is how we stay away from transgression. You must not contridict the Quran.

walahi topic i was wating decades allahu akbar come on man sapience is my libarary

“Al Qadar” is a sole knowledge of Allah. The mechanics of it cannot be known. It is like saying I wanna know the knowledge of the All knowing?! We cannot claim this level of knowledge that we didn’t had access to understand from the first place. This matter is subjected to the belief of the ghaib (unseen/unknown). But we believe in God honesty as he told us that that he gave us hidayah (guidance) for both ways (و هديناه النجدين). Jazak Allah khair brother Muhammad

1:05:00 Mashallah, it's awesome whenever you break the fourth wall and look directly into the camera! Hahahaha - Wa Salaams.

This series is gold level and summary of years of hardwork, tons of reading by M Hijab. Jazakallah Khair to Br and Sapience team.

A beautiful episode summarizing the various positions pertaining to the discussion on Qadr, and the various problems/shortcomings which all positions fall into. I found the conclusion of compatibilism to be both satisfactory and empowering As Br.Hijab said, the mechanics we will never know, however, the view of compatibilism combines the two aspects of free will and determinism in a non-contradictory manner In reality, and as shown in this video, fully denying free will or determinism and just sticking to one end of the extreme spectrum is what leads to ontological contradictions, both rationally and intuitively

Jazakallahu Khayran Ahsanul Jaza

what you said to the end is exactly what I came to think and believe in. Soub7anAllah. It's incredibly powerful

May Allah (swt) reward you all for this great work

Allah creates us and our actions Verse 37:96 He has the absolute power and does not share His power so how do you explain the ‘power’ of man in creating and acting? Don’t forget nothing has power except Allah. Period. The answer is in kasb. Allah also gives us freedom to make choices. We are therefore not puppets. We are responsible for the choices we make. There is a logical answer and the answer does not contradict with the statement lahawlawala kuwata illa billah. The asha’ri /maturidi methodology is so solid that you cannot find any cracks or contradictions and there are no questions that you cannot find the answers. Questions that are left unanswered can lead to doubt!

I love this series. May Allah reward the brothers of this institute ❤️❤️❤️

BarakAllahu Feekum!!🤍🤲🏼☝🏼

The ending was such a beautiful commentary

jazakumullahu khairan

A major problem dealing with Qadr, and many other issues, is that at some point they come like a puzzle that tempt us for a solution. But that solution need not be the reality as there is no way to verify because we can't prove that it is unique. For example, if we can come up with an Ingenius slave-master scenario that somehow leaves the master in charge and yet grants free will to the slave, how do we know that's what is going on in the world? how can we assume that we have or don't have free will without putting the conclusion before the premises?

Please upload one on Judaism - this series is so eye opening

11:00 i wanted to add something. Its fine to not know how something work aka the mechanism of it. There is so much things we can't possibly know how it work for example 4 spacial dimensions we can definitely mathmatically work with it and understand it. But can we imagine it? how a 4D object behave for example. We can predict mathematically how but we can't imagine how. Does this lack of knowledge negate the fact that we are getting true results? no Another example would be science itself. We discover things by observation. We then conclude that the thing exists. And then we try to explain how it works. That doesn't negate the fact that it exists

We have freedom of choice and intention but our choices does not determine the outcomes of our existence, that power belongs only to Allah

Thank you for this blessings. الحمد الله

Wonderful teaching, i really appreciate you Muhammad and these lessons your giving over. There is a teaching in the Jewish tradition that i really love in regards to this topic, the Talmud Bavli in Tractate Brachot 33b:23 states, "Rabbi Hanina said, everything is in the hands of heaven, except for the fear of heaven."

This talk discussed two things: free will and determinism and how they are somehow compatible but we do not know how. I am happy to accept that. What I want to know is how this supposed compatibility can be reconciled with the power of du’aa. Can Allah change his will if we ask Him to through prayer? For example, a woman may be pregnant but, other than taking the required vitamins, diet, avoiding toxins, there is no way she can completely in control of creating a healthy baby. Therefore, the only other thing she has left is to pray, to make du’aa. What if the will of Allah was predetermined to give rise to a baby with 11 fingers. Could prayer change this? Can du’aa and qadr be reconciled? If not then is there any point of du’aa?

The last part was really beautiful

What a beautiful way to end the video brother.

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ As-Salaamu `Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuhu

في سورة التكوير قال الله سبحانه وتعالى "إن هو الا ذكر للعالمين لمن شاء منكم ان يستقيم وما تشاءون الا ان يشاء الله رب العالمين" And that’s it really. compatibilism in a nutshell. Subhan Allah. Because Allah Azzu Wa Jal created it so He is the best (of course) in explaining it. Also the Mathal that Allah gave in Surat Al Baqarah 17-20 explains it in great detail Subhan Allah.

The 4 layers/parts of Qadr explained in the beginning are all essentially one and the same. Any one of them will necessarily lead to others.

No one is free from this question theist or not, so let's all just humble ourselves. Don't go hard on any particular position, we stick to that Allah is in charge and He gave us Freewill, how? Allah knows best.

While the conclusion of this videos summates that "we can argue for non-contradiction but the mechanics we do not (and likely cannot) know", I think there is an analogy that does combine God's decree/determination and omniscience (determinism) that does not throw free will into a state whereby humans act independent of God's decree/determination (which is a contradiction) and also allows justice to prevail (i.e. if our choices are NOT ours, then how can there be punishment). So - you have this seemingly contradicting dichotomy of DETERMINISM and FREE WILL. In fact, even in fields such as neuroscience, with propagators such as Sam Harris... determinism is almost empirically validated (e.g. studies where you can predict future eye movements with significant accuracy). You mentioned Quran 76:30 "And you do not will except that Allāh wills. Indeed, Allāh is ever Knowing and Wise." = Determinism However the previous verse 76:29 states "Indeed, this is a reminder, so he who wills may take to his Lord a way." = Free Will It is so interesting because 76:29 admits that the human/jinn has a "will" towards the right path and then 76:30 it admits that this "will" necessitates Allah's permission. SubanAllah! Why can we not analogize as follows: 1) Your individual potential for actions are finite and based on innumerable variables. Therefore, there are a finite number of choices you can make in any given moment. Like the law of matter, your potentiality for choices in any given moment cannot be created or destroyed by you. 2) By necessity, these innumerable variables were both created and known by the Creator. Similarly, an algorithm or computer program can be built to allow the program to have what you think is "free will" but really the output was KNOWN by the programmer because there are only so many finite pathways. 3) When you make a choice, it is only from a finite group of possibilities - all of which are created by and known by Allah SWT. The 'free will' is your ability to choose from the finite set of possibilities, but the deterministic aspect is the fact that all choices are wholly dependent on the 'setup' created by Allah SWT. 4) Because it is IMPOSSIBLE to act outside the finite possibilities.. it is decreed. However, for their to be justice, those paths can either be neutral, towards the path of God, or astray from Allah.. BONUS: we go to the last verse in that set Quran 76:31 and it states "He (Allah) admits whom He (Allah) wills into His mercy; but the wrongdoers - He has prepared for them a painful punishment." In other words, your propensity to act towards the path of God...being attracted to the right choices, is a mercy from Allah. Using the computer program or algorithm analogy, I can state in the code that the more the program acts in conformity to my desires, an increased weight of attraction will be added to certain choices... and conversely, the more the program selects actions that do not conform to my desires, I will simply increase the weight for it to continue down those choices ... EVEN though technically at any time the program always has "the will" to select from those choices.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but one solution for the problem of free will would be to say that Allah if he wills it can will what you want. Meaning that you can have your will but you have no ability yourself to enact it. It can only be enacted if Allah chooses to create a future that corresponds to it. So you are never in power, Allah is always in power and yet there is a way for you to have the opportunity for your will to manifest. The concession with that would be that your actions or any actions for that matter is not necessarily of your own will but I have no issue with it.

Maturidi theology has the best interpretation regarding this topic

Hahaha its soo amazing thinking about it سبحان الله .. It would be one of the questions that we will ask الله when we enter to janah ان شاء الله brothers ✨

Around 46:30, this could go back to psychology & the personality of each person which could also be argued under determinism, ya @Mohammed Hijab. Different personalities cause for different choices & perspectives even if faced with the same circumstances. Thus resulting in different outcomes even if they're twins. Their personality must be different. If they have similar personality traits, they could actually have similar outcomes as well. However; the subjective intuitive state that is can only explain freewill, since we know what we know without coercion or else we run into a contradiction.

Masha Allah

Asalaamu Alikum brother Hijab, Allah swt knows best. But in my opinion, the free will goes in line with the decree of Allah swt. Allah swt at the beginning had already decreed for everything to happen. So, in order for His decree to be fulfilled, Allah swt had to create the universe and everything seeable and unseeable around us and ideas according to His decree. In simple terms I suppose the decree of Allah swt is the blue print of His plan and He created everything in order for it to be build. Allah swt didn't just create all of these without any purpose. All this is being created for us and jinns to be tested for the ultimate purpose to see who are obedient and who are disobedient. So, I guess this is where the free will comes in to play. Allah swt has created the universe and everything in it as a tool and has been put forward to us to see what we are going to choose by being obedient, doing what Allah swt commanded to do or disobedient. Choosing to obey or disobey its our choice. Allah swt has only shown us the path ways and told us its consequences . It is up to us which path to take. Whichever path we take Allah swt already knows about it. Because this is all His decree and plan from the start. Allah swt is the ultimate decision maker whatever He wills its 100% correct, He guides and misguides whomever He wills in His own way because He is The Most Just, The All Mighty, The All Powerful, The All knower, The best of the planners, Allah swt, Lord of Alamin. We are His creation we can only hope for His Mercy. May Allah swt have Mercy on all of us and keep us on His path. Ameen.

I want an episode called Londoniyyah, Episode 30 - Mohammed Hijab the learned one, by Mohammed Hijab

But the slave owner metaphor obviously isn't perfect for comparision. In case of Allah the almighty, not only is the slave going out in the market with the money given. But the market he is going to, the oxygen, everything he can sense is created and from Allah

*SALAM ALAIKUM* *Ramadan Mubarak* Mohammed prophet said (The believers shade on the day of resurrection will be his charity) Al-tirmedhi *الَّذِينَ يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ سِرًّا وَعَلَانِيَةً فَلَهُمْ أجرهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ* *Those who (in charity) spend of their goods by night and by day, in secret and in public, have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve* (Al-baqara verse 274) I am your sister Um Mohammed from Palestine (Gaza strip ) I am a widow and My husband passed away(shaheed) in the war of 2021. previous year I have four children 3 girls and boy I live in an old rent flat that not valid for life with my old father and mother (70 years old) As my father suffer from cancer most of his time in the hospital My children suffer malnutrition and lack of food and also do not go to school because we don't have the minimum necessities of life We are a family without a breadwinner We live deprivation and tragedy every day of our lives We live with accumulated debts and also live with the fear of being evicted from the apartment for not paying the rent All I wish is to find a source of livelihood where I can provide food for my children and my sick mother and father I desperately need the help of my Muslim brothers and sisters from everywhere Even if a little (whoever removes a grief from a believer from amongest the sorrows of this life, Allah will remove a grief from him amongest the sorrows of the day of Resurrection) WhatsApp *((00970599199532))* *Donate for my family for the sake of Allah* 🤲

وَلَقَدِ اسۡتُہۡزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّنۡ قَبۡلِکَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذِیۡنَ سَخِرُوۡا مِنۡہُمۡ مَّا کَانُوۡا بِہٖ یَسۡتَہۡزِءُوۡنَ ﴿٪۴۲﴾

وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ (96)

Godly determinism is for Allah only! free choice is given to us whether we choose to be muslims or not doing this or that or etc etc. What we will choose Allah knew before because that is one of the many qualities of one and only true god thats why destiny was written before by the pen. That's what i thought about these two being compatible, when these thoughts came to my mind long ago. And only Allah knows best.

Beautiful sweater mashallah. Where can i can get one?

if Allah don't know the future how do the mu'tazili explain the situation between Khidr AS n Musa AS in surah Kahf? how about the mentioning of the coming of the last messenger in the previous scriptures? 🤔

The example of the slave what is given trust over the property of both (the slave as properties) owner, would be a good example? The owner know the potential of all his properties in relation with his slave. And within this framework is the slave tested as given trust and within this space exist potential what is know to Allah. I do think that the problem exist in the question itself. We have no free will. We have potential desires in relation with potential options. Allah have truly free will. We are stuck in time and space and the options of thoughts we can put forward in a specifiek moment by acting upon it. Allah have truly free will. We have only that what is given to us external and internal, nature and nurture. Within the boundaries of the body and its sensory.

Is there a hadith in Sahih al bukhari that mentions free will?

Is god responsable for your actions because he creates them from the intentions that comes from your own desires? So where is the soul and what is its full capabilities and how is it connected to will power in our everyday 3d subjective experience? only allah can completely know.

What mic do you use brothers? Jazakum allahu khairan I would appreciate if you respond

48:56 the 'internal thing' also means that it is from Allah, isnt it? since that 'internal' thing could not possibly be from the creation themselves?

👍🏼👍🏼

Salam alaykum, who is the shaykh who wrote this poem? Shaykh Ali al-Qudaymi? Can someone send some sources about him. I dont know him.

I got a headache just by playing the video.

Is it really unsolvable?

❤️❤️❤️

@yassinefaure4112 why did you sqeeuze out?

As salam aleikum, there is also the theological and jurisprdential school of ahlul bayt. And on the basis of the clear primary texts from Qur'an and sunnah we should all know the importance and virtue of the family of the prophet, sallAllahu aleihi wa ala ali wa sallam. As far as I know, here, human responsibility and the blasphemie of attributing both the human deeds as well as their torment in hell are stressed. There is an ahlul-bayt-based school that is sometimes calles zaydiyyah, althogh they accept and respect the scholarship of all the descadents of the prophets, sallAllahu alehi wa ala ali wa sallam. Maybe you can start yor research by investigating in their positions, as there still ulama of ahlul bayt (zaydi tradition) in yemen, as far as I know. May Allah help the ummah! There are also Ibadis which should be looked up.

So what I think is - Allah now the future, created the future etc I believe in it - Allah give us the wrong and right (reminded us through prophets and books) / we are here in this world cause of satan effort and that free will (think about that) and he created forgiveness for us / for those who are wiling - Allah in every microscopic second is creating or has created give permission to be what we are wanting for what we made decisions for (at 1st he give us that free will ability to want that or this) that’s the test that illusion of world - He has decided to create a creation with free will (but with all of our desire and weaknesses and good elements to for testing what we do with all of this) plus satan and counterbalance forgiveness and dua for those who want it really - so what’s the problème I don’t understand I decided (that decision making He already hase given us at the moment he created us) to do bad with bad attention Allah created all things give permission me to and every elements involved in this to do so (because of testing period in this world) - that is just so simple, he is letting us do what we want just for life time on earth and then we will be judged (we are forgetting this part judgment day) - And also I think in dua and acceptance is also attached with forgiveness type and at that moment what was destin for me and if I use the forgiveness card given by Allah and when it is accepted so in many possible qadr or my destiny already written by ALLAH THE GREATEST That switch instantly by Allah willing (cause satan and forgiveness are other things maybe) - so again we have ability of free will Allah has given us that ability (nothing more we are willing to do an action and every thing works by Allah ORDER AND WILLING we don’t have anything else no creation power etc I was at 38 minutes 😄

I don't think the Chrisyppus example strongly demonstrates free will - rather it could be argued it's just another mechanism of determinism working i.e. forget genetic determinism but the two individuals have individual fates regardless of their genetics - determinism doesn't restrict itself to genetic causation - therefore it's not robust enough as an explanation - we can assert the principle of difference but not free will

Why don't you debat an ahmadi imaam They are waiting for you

It is not about howness. It is contradictory to having human free will and Allah's Qadr both simultaneously true until you give a new definition of either free will or Allah's Qadr. It is simply logically impossible that both everything is predetermined and we can freely choose our action from different alternatives can be true simultaneously. Let me try to explain in the following way: 1. The past is out of our control. (Premise 1) 2. It was true in the past that foreknowledge Allah knew of every event which is in the future.(Premise 2) 3. It is now out of our control that God knew of a event x(eg. You will go to sleep today at night) which are in the future. (follows from 1, 2) 4. For any event x, it is out of our control that, if it was known by Allah that x will happen, then x will happen. Conclusion: Future event x(You will go to sleep today at night) is now out of our control if Allah has foreknowledge. Therefore, human do not have free will.

Ibn Taymiyyah & Ibn Qayyim's position is not at all satisfying. Secondary causation is Shirk al Asbab. It's a belief that Allah is only the prime mover and the subsequent actions are not caused by His Qudrah. This is a denial of the fact that Allah is the Creator of all things that exist.

Destek yorumu

Can I remind both Sapience Institute and its followers here that hate speech against other British communities WILL NOT be tolerated. You are not in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan. I should also ask you to consider the irony of being outraged when one’s own religious icons and personalities abused yet then going around abusing the religious icons of others.

this doesnt require an hour to explain

Sapience... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Swimming to the pool and you want to jump it you are responsible, but you don't want to jump you are push you are not responsible.
