This whole episode with Dr. Fatoohi was so humbling. Truly humbling when we recognize within ourselves the extent of pride in our own hearts. May Allah swt forgive us for our arrogance and pride, that which we are aware of and that which we are not even aware of 😢JZK brother Louay for increasing our awareness of our own shortcomings.
Dr. Fatoohi is an emblem of beneficial knowledge. Neat and beautiful slides as usual, thanks to blogging Theology for these exceptional scholarly works.
Assalamoalaikum Paul. JazakAllah for these powerful and wonderful recordings. My request is if you can please also provide Audios on Apple Podcasts or somewhere where we can hear them while not having to actually see a screen. If that is not too much trouble, it will be a wonderful initiative. JazakAllah again for all your efforts. May Allah reward you two folds. Ameen.
Remarkable stuff brother Paul, please have Dr. Fatoohi on again to further discuss Surah Yusuf for it is one of the most wonderful surahs ALLAH has revealed in the Noble Quran and deserves further discussion!
A remedy for pride caused by an inflated ego is a meaningful story of Omar, the second rightly guided Khalifa, may Allah be pleased with him. He once went up on a platform and called for people to listen, "When I was little I used to work as a shepherd for the people of Mecca. So I would take sheeps, get them to drink, milk them, and clean beneath them. And they [people of Mecca] used to give me a handful of dates that they would put right into my hands. So if you did not know this about me, then you know now." When he came down, another companion told him wondering "you did nothing but humiliate yourself." Omar replied "exactly that. My nafs/myself had thoughts about me being the leader of the believers, so I wanted to discipline it." Every phrase in that speech is him deliberately belittling himself. There are few similar narrations with different wording and different companions asking about the reason for such a speech, so probably Omar used to do this often, may Allah have mercy on his soul.
Al-A'raf. The Heights. Verse 11 and 12. Surely We created you, then shaped you, then said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam,” so they all did-but not Iblis, who refused to prostrate with the others. Allah asked, “What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?” He replied, “I am better than he is: You created me from fire and him from clay.” Verse 16 and 17. He said, “For leaving me to stray I will lie in ambush for them on Your Straight Path. I will approach them from their front, their back, their right, their left, and then You will find most of them ungrateful.” رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَآ أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ
Yes that would be interesting. The shape of the earth and the construction of the heavens is an interesting, but complex one if we where to follow the Quran alone, and not the popular mainstream science.
Dear Paul, even though I have subscribed and turned on notification for your channel but can't stop myself from revisiting RUclips channel for latest videos. I am so lucky to discover your channel beginning this year. And please update your webpage for reading recommendations.😍😇
It’s beautiful what I’ve learned in my life from Islam is also similar to what I’ve understood from this video. I’ll have to rewatch this many many times as a reminder.
U reminded me of this hadith where abou jahl was asked about why he didn't believe in the prophet and he said : We and Banu Abd Manaf disputed honor. They fed and we fed. They carried and we carried. They gave and we gave. Even when we got on our knees and we were like a betting horse, they said: There is a prophet among us who receives revelation from the sky. So when do we realize this? By God we never believe in Him nor do we believe Him. Pride prevented him from believing.
Great to know the subject matter - 'PRIDE'. Isn't this one of the 'Seven Deadly Sins'?🤔 I haven't listened to the discourse in its entirety as yet. I've go to grab my pen & paper for taking notes!! Thanks 'Blogging Theology'. Peace & Blessings 🙏🏾

In a debate, the opponent never listens to you. He is thinking how to counter attack while you are talking. Generally it's useless. And creates negativity. Especially street debates. It doesn't mean don't do dawah. It means find a better way to do it. It also feeds your ego as a debater. If u r winning it pumps up your kibr
I am wondering why does Dr. Fatouhy who is an astronomer would accept the Quran amd would reject all the Sunnah amd the Authentic Hadith of the prophet (peace be upon him)? I am bewildered.
What are you talking about? Brother Louay is an astronomer, not an astrologer; secondly, he quotes profusely from Hadith. Maybe, you have not understood the topic.
Are you sure you're watching the same thing the rest of us are watching? maybe step out of what you think is being said brother & watch the mutiple episodes with Dr Fatoohi & listen to what he actually says. Asalaam Alaikum
Quran Chapter 29 verses 40: Example of those (jews) who have taken from (among them) allies (agents: paul, mathew, mark luke john) other than Allah is like the spider who builds a house.

Quran Chapter 29 verses 41: Indeed Allah knows what they (jews) ask from (their agents: paul, mathew, mark luke john is to set up) besides Him anything (they could find with from greek gods, egyptian gods as gods so that Allah's hand can be chained with jews only and their enemy white supremacist can be destroyed with all sort confusion). And Allah is all Powerful and all wise (He did send Prophet Muhammad to clarify all things at the right time and place). Quran Chapter 29 verses 42: And these examples we set forth to mankind but not will understand them (jewsih agents: paul, mathew, mark luke john) except those of knowledge.

Quran Chapter 14:verses 25: It (Quranic Tree) produces its fruit (believers) all the time, by permission of its Lord. And Allah presents examples for the people that perhaps they will be reminded. Quran Chapter 14:verses 26: And the example of impure corrupted bad word (torah,bible) is like an impure tree, uprooted from the surface of the earth, not having any stability. Quran Chapter 14:verses 27: Allah keeps firm those who believe, with the firm word (Quran), in worldly life and in the Hereafter. And Allah sends astray the wrongdoers. And Allah does what He wills.
