god created everything so who created
god you believe in god so scientists
couldn't figure it out but you could is
that right
if there is infinite time yeah why not
infinite possibilities
the moment he creates that he becomes
not powerful because he can't lift it
there's no such thing that exists
there was a study done in oxford
university by justin barrett he found
that young kids who are not talking
about islam or christianity or any other
religion they all have the inclination
to believe in one god
ali dawa you have one minute for each
question
you ready
are you ready
can you prove god's existence in one
minute
let's look at google
in order for google to exist we need the
internet in order the internet to exist
we need the computer or our telephones
or our tablets in order for the computer
to exist there has to be human beings
that create it
and etc it relies on electricity the
question follows is the following
google relies on the internet the
internet relies on the computer the
computer rely on us and electricity and
this goes on we cannot have an infinite
regress of dependent things
we require a place where it all stops
and makes sense which is the independent
self-sufficient necessary being which is
god why can't the necessary being be the
universe well that's good that you say
that because first it shows that you
acknowledge with me that we require
necessary being
that's good all you've done is applied
this to the universe and we say that
contradicts the necessary being because
the necessary is independent
self-sufficient and it's necessary the
universe is not self-sufficient and
dependent it's opposite so you can't
have this be that because it contradicts
can god create a rock that he can't lift
i mean this is an invalid question when
people ask this question it's like a
valid question i can ask a question can
god cease to exist
of course not it's contradictory it's
like me saying how many days in a week
yes or no yes or no it's not a yes or no
question i have to ask how many days a
week seven so the point is the question
is invalid
so for to say can god create a rock so
big that he can't lift
then the moment he creates that he
becomes not powerful because he can't
lift it there's no such thing that
exists it's just the question that is
asked for the sake of it
can there be more than one creator no
because then we go back to the argument
of necessary being if there was more
than one creator then the question is
how could you have one necessary being
which is self-sufficient independent if
there is another creator then it's
dependent it's not necessary anymore so
the question is if there was two
creators firstly allah says in the quran
they would fight each other for power
yeah so that shows two powers fighting
each other are dependent because they
require more power to kill the other one
so that's why we believe there has to be
one necessary being that is
self-sufficient independent and
necessary
god created everything so who created
god well the question is invalid once
again it's an invalid question just
because somebody asked this question
doesn't mean it's a valid question
because what we say is we see cause and
effect within our universe it requires a
designer to come and say who created
that designer is you haven't understood
who the designer is it goes back to the
issue of the necessary being what's the
attribute
it's independent it is self-sufficient
it is necessary if you acknowledge these
attributes these three things yeah you
need to acknowledge that you the
question of who created god can god make
a rock sobiki khan lift can god cease to
exist are questions that are not valid
it doesn't exist the question you're
asking there's no such thing
because if there was a god that created
him then he becomes dependent now he's
not self sufficient anymore so what we
say is that this creator as long as this
necessary is independent is
self-sufficient is necessary everything
stops there
why islam when there is many other
religions
well that's the question i asked myself
before i came to islam why islam and
when i did my research and what i was
born with the fitrah there was a study
done in oxford university by justin
barrett he found that young kids who
were not taught about islam or
christianity or any other religion they
all had the inclination to believe in
one god not two not three so to me i had
that in my in myself to believe in one
god but the question was why islam i
asked the same question to myself and
when i looked into it i realized true
monotheism in this true sense because if
you go to the christians they say we're
monitors
and they believe three and one you go to
the hindus they say we believe one
million gods is one the point is this
pure monotheism in his worship and
understanding of who god is is only in
islam not only that also when it comes
to the quran it is the only scripture on
this planet that is being preserved and
has miracles that we can see for example
if i go to a christian and i say look i
want to live in christianity show me you
say jesus gave life to the dead and this
time with the permission of god show me
or if you go to the jews and say moses
did that show me can they show you no
they can't if they come and say to us
what's the miracle of the quran we'll
say here's the quran we can show you
touch it
you can feel it you can analyze it why
because also we learn from this the
quran is for all mankind and you can see
it you can hear it you can examine it
but the miracles that the other prophets
done you can never prove that that's why
that was for that time specifically and
the quran is for all times because we
have a a method an oral tradition which
is the quran which we and many
generations after us can examine and
that's what i did before i came to islam
i examined it i read it i looked at the
prophecies i looked at the miracles i
said this can be no other than by by
from allah
you told us that there are miracles of
the quran can you please just tell us
one miracle of quran i'm going to be
generously i'm going to give you three
yeah yeah you have to be generous
sometimes in life you know uh the first
one is i think very profound and very
important because what we are taught for
example that in surah balad that allah
is talking about abu lahab and this is
very interesting because abu lahab could
make one statement and the whole of
islam was fallen on the ground
allah says in the quran
and his wife that they are going to
enter the fire hell fire they're going
to die as this believers enter the
hellfire now if you think about it
he had to do one thing and disprove
islam because the quran declares you're
going to go hellfire you and your wife
and you're going to die as a disbeliever
so the thing is this they could have
called
hold on a second
there you go your religion is false
because your religion says i'm going
hellfire your religion says i'm going to
die as a disbeliever i accept islam
he didn't do it he died as a disbeliever
to me that is profound because he had to
do one statement to disprove the whole
he wanted they wanted to stop prophet
muhammed yeah with everything he just
had to do 10 seconds of the shahada and
crumble the whole religion he didn't
number two there is an evidence for
example when allah talks about in the
quran about the time of moses and the
time of yusuf ali salam yeah and allah
talks at the time of yusuf islam he
calls the ruler a king
at the time of moses he calls him a
pharaoh
but in the bible
they call the time of yusuf al-islam and
they call him pharaoh and at the time of
moses they call him a pharaoh this is
historical error because when they
deciphered the rosetta stone as a thing
to understand the egyptian hieroglyphics
they found out that there was no
pharaohs at the time of joseph this
dynasty didn't exist there was kings how
did the quran know this and they say the
quran copies the bible the quran copied
from the bible why didn't the quran copy
the mistake
and how did it know that at the time of
joseph the ruler is a king there's no
pharaohs how do they know that that's
number two number three allah subhana wa
says in sura
the romans have been defeated the
historians say the way the romans got
defeated by the persians
it's impossible to think
let alone them coming back to win for
them to even
exist allah says in quran the romans
have been defeated but they are going to
win that's a big statement that's like
seeing me
we you guys together we're going to take
over usa and we're going to uh um beat
trump
it's crazy it's a big a big gamble
and after three to seven years or three
to nine years the romans come and defeat
the persians these are historical
prophets these are just some there are
hundreds hundreds i'm giving you just
three and i can go up
you believe in god so scientists
couldn't figure it out but you could is
that right it's not about i could we use
our logic we use our brain the science
deals with the five senses what it can
see empiricism so what we say is very
simple there are scientists who believe
in things if you're talking about for
example i don't see god that's why you
know i don't believe in it you know it's
not something science doesn't talk about
the supernatural it stops the physical
but we know for example scientists have
discovered recently dark matter dark
matter is something they cannot see they
cannot touch they cannot feel they
cannot smell they cannot hear
so the same thing with god can you see
god no can you touch god no can you
smell god no can you hear god no can you
see god no
but you reject he exists but the same
thing with dark matter
you same thing but you say no dark
matter exists
well what kind of contradiction is this
first god doesn't exist because i can't
sense touch feel but dark matter
contradiction why do you have double
standards this is the issue as a
scientist it's not something i
discovered new i use my logical
reasoning rationality to come to simple
conclusions and i don't need to be a
scientist i don't care how much bigger
of a scientist you are you know there
were people who believed in god that was
scientists you know like
like einstein you know he did he didn't
believe in a higher power so this issue
of
science science or scientists and god is
not contradictory you can have
scientists who are muslim or scientists
or christian
so yeah it's not a discovery
are you brave enough to talk with famous
artists what would you do if you
encounter them i have no problem because
to be honest i don't care what atheists
you are how scientists profess i don't
care the same thing applies you know i
bring my same arguments and you have to
answer them i don't care because what
i'm on i know i'm 100 so sure logically
rationally that there is no way you can
get out of it except that you accepting
um being at this minimum these maybe
fears we can work on theism so i don't
care if you're a professor i don't care
it's irrelevant as long as you have
alcohol i hope so yeah we can reason
then 100 there is no way they can go
if there is infinite time yeah why not
infinite possibilities it's a good
question i have to drink my water to
answer this
this class is empty
yes
empty
if we said infinite time because
argument here is you give it infinite
amount of time anything can happen this
is a fallacy because to make the
properties argument's sake if i like a
chocolate cheesecake my chocolate
cheesecake let's talk turkish yeah a
nice suit latch yeah if i want to have a
sweet latch in here
and i say let's give it infinite time
would i ever get a shitlatch
and by the way i like my switch latch
burnt on the top let's be specific would
we ever get it no because the equation
of time is irrelevant if the components
to make a suit latch the way i like it
is not in there you will never get a
switch latch it's as simple as that time
is irrelevant what's time got to do with
it let's give it infinite time would you
get ferrari no
give infinite time at the infinite time
would you get a universe no because the
properties to make a universe or a
ferrari or my super which is more
important is not in there so if it's not
in there you will never get it but
hopefully after this i will get to touch
okay
our questions are complete
that's why i want to ask you a question
and why do you not accept islam after
i've answered all of them i mean repeat
after me i said
it was a pleasure place as you can see
here we're having biscuits turkish tea
you know i think i have to come often
yeah
please let's make it a regular
until next time
