Asalaamu alaikum guys and welcome to another episode of Smile to Jannah (paradise).
We probably remember Elon Musk a couple of months ago, there was a tweet of his where
he... he said he doesn't mind going to the hellfire. And then everybody (you know) started educating
him about what the hell fire is. And what was beautiful was, in the latest podcast
he was asked about God- do you believe in God? And he said... well let's let's hear it from him.
But do you believe in like, a God, or like a higher power? Well something created the universe,
or the universe is you know here, how did it come to be? Um you could say
whatever caused the universe to come to be is God or
you know Gods depending on your view philosophy. I think it makes sense to go out there and
to expand consciousness so that we're better under...better able to to answer the questions
of like 'what is the meaning of life?' 'what is nature of the universe'. Like 'how do molecules
have consciousness?' But somehow went from a bunch of hydrogen gas to and then an assemblage
of complex molecules like ourselves that can feel and talk and and think. I mean just if you leave
hydrogen out long enough it starts talking to itself basically it's what happened here.
As you guys heard he's saying look, it's it's obvious that you know what you see around you
has a designer. One of the bits that I liked was when he said that the analogy
of dead matter giving rise to living matter is like, allowing hydrogen to have enough time that it
will start talking. And I would even add walking, watching videos and you know all sorts of things.
I thought that was a pretty good analogy. And he then goes on to say that it's important for us to
increase our consciousness and I would say the same thing. It's very important and (you know)
it's very important to also realize that more...and that's why I honestly believe that even if someone
leaves the religion, yeah it might be you know part of their journey or whatnot. But when they realize
that the more they look into the way things function and life and existence the more they
ponder, like the Qur'an invites us to do, the more they will realize that 'yo, the atheist paradigm
just does not work', it just does not work. So I genuinely believe that these people that claim 'oh
I'm just spiritual I don't believe in God' they will, because when they're not... like the Qur'an
says that you know as we're told as well by Allah and his prophet (s.a.w) that these very people who
claim not to believe in God, when they're drowning or when they're in the problems and hardships
that they are in, even they will cry out saying "oh my God" and the thing is like you need to ask
yourself like 'what is the lifestyle that you're looking at giving you?" The "atheistic lifestyle".
I mean atheism leads to capitalism, capitalism leads to nihilism and if you look at nihilism,
nihilism is exactly this, that somebody that's (you know) doing brain surgery is the same as somebody
else that's at home that's just drawing a circle on a circle on a circle on a circle on a circle.
He said the two are the same. There's no right there's no wrong yeah there's none of that mate
yeah. You cannot prove that something is right or something is wrong from the atheist paradigm.
I've spoken to atheists and they say "look there's no such thing as objective morality
mate just whatever. Yes it comes innately from you". Well innately some people want to do some
mad stuff yeah, bestiality you know I'm saying, murder flipping madness bro you know I'm saying.
So look this is a really interesting time... and also Elon Musk says that when he was young he
went to learn the bible and did Hebrew studies. So you've never practiced any religions? You know
I was sent to a weirdly a Hebrew preschool, I'm not Jewish but my dad sent me there because it was
like nearby and I guess his... so I said Hebrew preschool and then Anglican Sunday school.
From this you know this should also encourage us to send our kids to madrasa and sometimes yes
madrasa may not be telling you the meanings or may not be giving you everything I mean that's
also something that's unfair as well that you expect madrasa to cover all of Islam yeah, just
like some don't even go Monday to Friday some just go Saturday Sunday but it does have an impact,
the first 10 years it's very important that you do, educate your children when it comes to these sorts
of things yeah don't underestimate madrasa, don't underestimate education, don't underestimate this
sort of stuff guys yeah. And Elon Musk is one of many yeah, he's one of many that will realize that
atheism has nothing to offer other than capitalism and nihilism and is useless.
So guys what we learned from this is if Elon Musk can return, well or come somewhat in the
right direction towards the right path then (you know) there is hope for other people as well yeah
because atheism hasn't much to offer other than capitalism and nihilism, I mean let's face it what
do you have to offer? Let's leave it there guys, enough said, until next time, Asalaamu alaikum.
