Islam vs Atheism || Oxford University Forum Debate
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- The debate was hosted by Oxford University Forum on 6th May 2019. The topic debated was "Does Islam explain reality better than Atheism?" and the arguments made were powerful, passionate and intense. Al-hamdulillah, the truth of Islam was demonstrated to be not only the best explanation of reality but the only explanation of reality that makes sense with what we can observe. On the other side, the Atheist's denial of God meant that they couldn't provide an ultimate explanation of reality without falling into self-contradictions.
The speakers were me (S.A.L.A.M Initiative), Abdullah al Andalusi (Muslim Debate Initiative) debating against Atheist speakers, Alex O’Connor, an international speaker and popular RUclipsr “Cosmic Skeptic”, and writer for the New Humanist Journal, and Psychiatrist, Dr Colin Brewer.

i want alex vs hijab once more
At last !! Thank you brother...keep up the great work.
I'm a Christian and i believe Mohammed won this debate
These guys are so much better than every Christian I've ever listened to
“The truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Indeed, falsehood is bound to vanish.” Qur'an (17:81)
I knew it he will bring Aisha R.A to the debate....
The old fella is thinking ‘What have I got myself into here’ 😀
Are you still deleting comments?
Assalamu Alaikum. The greatest thing that ever happened to me was being an ex anti theist atheist. I turned against God at 10 but Alhamdulillah I found him. Love from Botswana
The believer should be strong and confident when debating atheists. However, be careful from being so proud because pride can kill your faith and make you loose debates.

Hold up!
They did the old man dirty...he had no idea what was going on the entire time
46:00 As an atheist, he said "peace be upon him" after the mention of prophet Muhammad 😂 Lol I know he was only reading off a sheet of paper, but it's still somewhat funnily odd to hear from a non believer
I love how their sitting in height order 🤣
That professor is retired for real
This debate was awesome. Alex genuinely seems like an intelligent guy and Inshallah Allah guides him to Islam one day as he would make for a great dawi!
To understand their debate. You have to watch the video more than once. 😂🤣
Cant believe the athiest just said 'it's good to know the truth but it's better to be happy' . Wowww. Even if deep inside they believed Islam was the truth they will still reject it
1:20:31 lmao look at Hijab and Abdullah
First comment. Ramadan Mubarak to all muslims
Legend has it that the old man's still waiting for answering his "already answered" question.
Assalaamu aleykum Mohammed, just a constructive criticism: I think you should be less hasty to interject because the conversation is less constructive if you don't let them make their point.
Good debate otherwise, may Allah bless you guys and guide us all
I haven't watched that yet but I know it's gonna taste like an intellectual piece of chocolate cake. Ramadhan moubarak from Algeria.
Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]?
My iq too low for this
I feel weird when I see an atheis ( like Alex and others) talks about isuues for example women in Islam, Aisha's (R.A.A) marriage etc, wait a minute??
Are these issues will help you to prove that there is no necessary being exist? What about if we justify and clear up ur misconception about these issues will you believe that there is a God exists??
The Atheist grandpa talks every time hoping only to portray himself smarter than others but fails to understand that his talk is nowhere relevant to the topic being discussed. that his lack of being able to listen to others. I guess he is there for free water.
Here are my thoughts, from the left:
1. Dr Colin: Shouldn't be there. He clearly has no grasp of basic philosophy, let alone quite an advanced set like Mr Alex and the rest. His insistence on "Whether we know God commanded" question can't possibly be answered without a discourse, which the session is unequipped for. This is the reason Mr Al-Andalusi seemed evasive; it was a waste of time to entertain his questions for it to branch out into more irrelevant pursuits. I was pretty much letting his voice drawl while doing something else until Alex or Al-Andalusi speaks up.
2. Alex O'Connor: Honestly a likable atheist. His arguments were quite on par since he was up to date with Kalam cosmology though he may not grasp it completely. What I was a tad bit disappointed with was with his pitch of Quran 4:34, it is a red herring and again, requires a discourse of multiple angles. However his assertion on points of morality not being answered deserves another look. Honestly, I'd had to grapple with some of the concepts he brought up, and will continue studying them for better understanding of his arguments.
3. Mr Hijab: Not much to say since he was the crowd puller, and I understood his points pretty ok. As people have pointed out, he has to learn to tether his passion and not interject every time Alex says something. I'd say I'm a bit let down, but otherwise he made his points stand.
4. Mr Al-Andalusi: Impeccable and polite, enough said.
I'd say the crowd winners are Alex and Al-Andalusi. As for the debate, I don't think there's any need to claim winning anything here. Have a great Ramadhan, all!
Here from Alex’s channel. Great discussion and I appreciate the civility
Mohammed, as a muslim I agree with you. But you should realize that your passion sometimes can put people off from the (true) points you are raising. You should keep in mind that your ability to convince is affected by whether people find you sympathetic or not. People tend to believe people they find sympathetic. When you put up a performance like this, it in part negates your convincability. Al andalusi did a better job in this regard.
I can say that the ideology of Islam will have to be of interest to atheists now as the strongest debaters and claims are coming from Islam due to the rise of Muslims in the west alhamduliah, this is one the first times i have actually seen atheists stuck and the theists end as the dominating side, once they will actually delve into Islam it will be interesting how their minds will change.
Great argument,responses and research
Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest)
“You are not special” lets that sink slowwly
*_that old dude should have known it’s an academic debate_*
That grumpy old dude was bringing the athiest side down. Lol
Save your Brain cells-----skip when u see old guy talking.
I love how bro Abdullah after each point referred back to the beautiful Names of Allah. Very eloquent and profound
hold on hold on.. hold on hold on...
come on Hijab. don't be so aggressive. let him speak. you are only allowed to be aggressive against David Wood only because we can't stand Wood.
Allah said in the Quran :
"(77) Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary?
(78) And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?"
(79) Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing."
(80) [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite.
(81) Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator.
(82) His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.
(83) So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned."
Soura Yassin.
What a debate! Bro Mohammed Hijad, i want to be like you, please share some knowledge with me. HUGS FROM GHANA.
I am an atheist and still disagree with them about the subject, but Abdullah and Mohammed defend the theist worldview better than anyone. I have to challenge my thoughts harder when listening to them than when listening to any other theist defend theism.
The conclusion of Atheism is I DON'T KNOW!
55:38 dude on the left is stoned out of his mind lmao
As a Christian, that old man is extremely unprepared and unintelligent. When he asked "Who created God?" I was like.... Seriously?! Even I could have answered that question, lol
I feel sorry for colin..what the hell was he doing in this debate? It was like having a fly weight boxer against heavy weights
Brother Mohammed Hijab, I watched your debate with David Wood.......You really are blessed with great knowledge by Allah.....ALHAMDULILLAH.....Keep up the good work brother.May Allah protect you and give you highest place in Jannah
Brother Hijab need a longer tie like Donald Trump 😂😂
You are not special by the way. Lol 😂.
Poor performance by this two Atheist. As a Christian i can say Muslim won this Debate. And there wasnt any necessary To bring Trinity
The old man is very gentle. He ask if his time was finish n wanted to leave the podium
Did the old guy make one good point or did he make a plethora of laughable comments
The old man ironically isn't ripe for this discussion. He couldn't keep up throughout.
“Wait a minutes. What did you say?” 😂😂😂
who is the moderator? he did not have control of the panelists.
Please let Cosmetic Atheist upload the full video.
Everyone sat in height order
Hijab is moving savage at 1:29:55 taking his partner's water like that lol
So you do monitor the comments mohamed
When it’s prayer time:
Mohammad Hijab: Time to worship the one and only necessary existent and show gratitude,
Everyone else: ...
1:20:30 - pssst,
1:20:32 - *fist bump*
Most people comment here dont understand physics and logic ..
I love that regardless of their differences they shake hands and smile it off
Yesterday I commented on your video where you debated a Christian, saying that you should debate an Atheist like Alex O'Connor. It's so weird that you actually did (I'm an Atheist too btw)
That old guy did not belong in the debate he asked a question even though it was already answered lol
Couldn't believe it - Abdullah and Hijab together - is fangirling halal?
Arguing with athiest is like arguing with brickwall. Dum daft and blind...they wont belive.
What happens at 1:38:08?
Br Suboor should have been one of the speakers also,
How can the atheist say more than half way through the debate, "you havent answered, who made God", Allahuakber, it's like he was blocking his ears for the whole debate 😂😂😂
56:48 "who created God?" lol, is this guy even paying attention?
Bro Hijab
I think if you’d be a bit more gentle to this young boy, he’d be able to understand in a batter manner/sense!
I feel he has light inside him. I feel he is some1 who is ready to accept things if he gets answers
1:02:34
Legend has it, the old man is still waiting for an answer to his question
when on earth do Islam prohibit research on itself?
Ramadan Mubarak, may Allah bless the speakers and lead them on the right path. ❤
1:20:30 😂 ( Hijab and Abdullah be like, yeah we nailed it )
Atheist should come up to make an opening statement. He basically spent his half opening statement as a rebuttal session. Thats just disingenuous
"Guys, guys, it's descending into chaos." 1hr 14m 😂😂😂
Hijab equates atheism to a Magic trick 😂😂😂 May Allah increase you in goodness 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love how you don't respond to any of the ridiculously immoral points in Islam that Alex presents in his opening statement.
36:36 "they're trying to silence people like me" bruh you're public speaking before an entire audience at oxford,
First comment love from Afghanistan 🇦🇫
Now I’m going to watch it then I’ll come to comment again ..to share my views 😊
Hijab killed 2 birds with 1 stone
I watched this after iftar so I can eat popcorn while watching it.
You guys nailed it...May Allah accept your efforts. But Mr Hijab...please be calm as sometime your body language introduces you as a man full of pride. Please try to get my point.
Rest wallahu-alam
That old man really has no clue
Brother MOhammed Hijab, i feel so dumb when i hear you talking :) Barka Allah o fik agki.
Br.Hijab, the vast knowledge of your is amazing masyaAllah, but you needs to pump the break a bit harder. Sometime it packs more punch if you let opposition finished the questionable arguments first then demolished it in turns and let the audiences know their bogus,contradictive,unsubstantiated arguments , rather then interjecting and possibly responsible for changing the tune of the debate and being as the justification for interjecting feast.
Muhammad Hijab, I recently knew you. The first thing about you i learnt from the debate with David. Alhamdulillah, MashaaAullaah, you are a very intelligent guy. May Allah protect you and choice you putting Barakah in your life. Ameen.
Plz translate this video to Arabic.
Going to watch after taraweeh in shaa Allaah
Great work brothers in Islam
Can you set up a debate with Alex o Connor again. 👍👍✌️
No offence the older white guy was not needed. Didn’t bring anything 🙄
@19:31 this kid brought the issue of Saudi women who are not allowed to drive ...to make a case against islam lol using fox news arguments in such debate makes him look very ignorant about Islam!! what about the millions of women who are driving in Muslim countries... so is the Islam problem or something else .. open your mind little kid
Daaaaaaamn bro, beards do come in handy after all!
The old man took the biggest L as soon as his mouth opened 😂😂🤦♂️
I'm Moroccan and hearing the old man saying that a taxi driver, that studied in britain, was talking about Judas dying on the cross is a lie.
Taxi drivers in Morocco are poor people, they work for taxi owners. Only a rich person can afford teaching his children outside of Morocco and especially in Britain. Just to say that delusional granpa was using deceptive arguments based on dreams he had instead of real facts. I was hoping to see at least someone close to Alex. It would of made this debate more interesting as it already is.
that old man thought he was debating christians do your homework next time, i mist brother sabuur
1:11:11 - 1:11:22 The moment the Old man realized he took an L in this debate lol
