Thank you so much for this video. Julian, you did a wonderful job addressing many questions for your father. These are the answers to all of your father’s questions in this video. May Allah reward you for your efforts and grant you and your father continued guidance and blessings. Your dedication is truly appreciated.
Historical Documentation:
Q1: Why is there such detailed historical documentation of the Prophet Muhammad, especially about his daily life, while we have less information about other historical figures like Napoleon or even Jesus?
The detailed documentation of Prophet Muhammad's life is due to the meticulous recording practices of early Muslims. The Prophet’s companions, known as Sahabah, preserved his sayings, actions, and approvals (Hadith) rigorously. This is evident from the Hadith collections such as Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. For example, the Quran commands believers to follow the Prophet's example (Quran 33:21). In contrast, historical documentation of figures like Napoleon or Jesus comes from different contexts and was not preserved with the same religious and cultural commitment.
Q2: How come we know so much about Muhammad's life, yet there's a gap in similar documentation for other prophets or historical figures?
The preservation of Muhammad's life is due to the early and systematic effort of his followers to document his life as a model for Muslims. In contrast, documentation of other prophets like Jesus or Moses is less detailed in historical texts, partly because they lived in different contexts and their followers did not establish the same level of systematic recording. For instance, the Hadith literature provides an extensive account of the Prophet’s life, as emphasized in Hadith collections like those of Bukhari and Muslim.
Q3: How can religious texts from 600 years later (like the Quran) be more accurate or detailed than those from earlier times (like the Bible or Torah)?
Islamic belief holds that the Quran is the final and unaltered revelation from God, intended to correct and complete previous scriptures. The Quran itself states, “Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian” (Quran 15:9). It is believed that previous scriptures were altered or lost over time, whereas the Quran has been preserved in its original form. The Quran's accuracy is also supported by the continuity of its message and the meticulous preservation of its text.
Q4: How did the Bible and other earlier religious texts become corrupted, according to Islamic belief?
Islamic belief holds that the original scriptures, such as the Torah and the Bible, were from God but have been altered over time. The Quran states, “So woe to those who write the Scripture with their own hands and then say, ‘This is from Allah,’ in order to exchange it for a small price” (Quran 2:79). This is interpreted to mean that human modifications have led to discrepancies in the text.
Q5: Why do different Christian sects believe in a different number of books in the Bible?
Different Christian sects have varying canons based on historical, theological, and doctrinal reasons. For instance, the Catholic Bible includes additional books known as the Apocrypha, which are not found in the Protestant Bible. This variation arises from different councils and decisions made over centuries regarding which texts were deemed authoritative.
Q6: How were decisions made about which books to include or exclude from the Bible?
The decisions were made through councils and synods over centuries, such as the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) and the Council of Carthage (397 AD). These councils debated and determined which texts were considered divinely inspired based on their use in worship and consistency with accepted Christian doctrine.
PS: You will find the remaining answers to your father’s questions in the replies.
Predestination and Free Will:
Q1: If God is all-knowing and knows everything about us and our intentions, why would He create some people to live lives of extreme hardship while others live in apparent luxury, such as a drug dealer versus a starving child?
Islam teaches that life is a test (Quran 67:2). Hardship and luxury are part of this test. God’s wisdom encompasses trials for growth and evaluation. The Quran says, “Do not think that those who rejoice for what they have done, and love to be praised for what they did not do-think not they are in safety from the punishment; and for them is a painful punishment” (Quran 3:188). Thus, every individual's trial is designed for a greater divine purpose.
Q2: How does the concept of predestination fit with the idea of free will? If God knows everything that will happen, including all our actions and choices, how does that align with the idea that life is a test and we have free will?
In Islam, God’s knowledge of all events does not negate human free will. The Quran states, “Indeed, We guided him to the way, be he grateful or ungrateful” (Quran 76:3). Human beings have the freedom to choose their actions, and they are accountable for those choices. Predestination refers to God’s knowledge and decree, but not to compulsion.
Q3: If God knows everything and knows the path people will take, why doesn’t He intervene to prevent people from making choices that lead to negative outcomes or harm?
Islamic teaching emphasizes that life is a test of character and faith. Intervention to prevent harm would undermine the purpose of free will. The Quran says, “And We have certainly created man and We know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein” (Quran 50:16), indicating that while God is aware, He allows humans the autonomy to choose.
Q4: How can the idea of predestination and free will be reconciled, especially when considering people with mental health conditions like ADHD or depression? How does God take these into account in the test of life?
Islam recognizes that mental health conditions affect one’s ability to make choices. The Prophet Muhammad said, “Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear” (Quran 2:286). Thus, God’s judgment is considered fair and compassionate, taking individual circumstances into account.
Q5: Why would prophecies made 1,400 years ago about future events, like the competition in building tall buildings among poor Arabs, be considered as evidence of divine truth? How do such prophecies support the validity of Islam compared to other religions?
Prophecies in Islam, such as the one mentioned, are seen as evidence of divine knowledge and truth. The Quran says, “And it is He who knows the unseen of the heavens and the earth” (Quran 6:59). The fulfillment of such prophecies is viewed as a sign of the divine origin of the Quran. Comparing with other religions, Islam asserts that its prophecies are both fulfilled and supported by its other teachings.
Q6: How do the prophecies made by religious figures compare to other religious predictions? For example, how does the story of Fatima in the 1930s, with prophecies that came true, compare with predictions made in other religious traditions?
Prophecies in Islam are evaluated based on their alignment with the Quran and Hadith. The story of Fatima, while significant, is not universally accepted across all Muslim traditions. Comparisons with other religious predictions should be made cautiously, ensuring they are measured against the core teachings and authenticity of each tradition.
Q7: Is there logical evidence to support the idea that deserts, which are currently barren, will become green and lush in the future? How does this fit with religious predictions about the transformation of deserts?
Scientific studies on desertification and reforestation support the idea that deserts can be transformed. The Quran mentions, “And We have made from water every living thing” (Quran 21:30), suggesting that ecological balance and restoration are possible. Modern environmental science aligns with the idea of potential transformation of arid regions through human efforts and climate change mitigation.
Q8: How does scientific understanding, such as the possibility of the Earth’s poles swapping or the sun rising from the west, align with religious predictions? Can scientific theories and religious prophecies coexist?
Islamic prophecies about cosmic events, such as the sun rising from the west (Quran 36:38), are interpreted within the broader context of eschatological beliefs. Scientific theories about polar shifts and cosmic phenomena can coexist with religious prophecies if understood as metaphorical or future events, maintaining coherence between faith and scientific understanding.
Q9: If there are many religions with differing beliefs, how can one religion be considered the absolute truth? Why should one religion be viewed as the correct one when many exist?
Islam asserts its truth based on its foundational texts, prophetic traditions, and consistency with divine guidance. The Quran states, “Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam” (Quran 3:19). The claim to truth is based on the belief in the finality and completeness of Islamic revelation, as opposed to differing interpretations in other religions.
Q10: If God were to come down and reveal Himself, how would that change the belief systems of various religions? Would it confirm one religion over others or suggest a different understanding?
In Islamic eschatology, God’s direct manifestation is associated with the Day of Judgment. Belief systems would be confirmed or challenged based on the authenticity of revelations. Islam teaches that the finality of its message is established, and such a direct manifestation would serve to reaffirm the divine truth already presented in the Quran and Hadith.
Q11: If there is a God and a judgment day, what is the nature of the afterlife? Is it possible that we might simply cease to exist or transform into another form of energy? How does this uncertainty impact our understanding of life and religion?
Islam describes the afterlife as a continuation of existence, with Heaven and Hell as real, eternal destinations. The Quran mentions, “And do not be like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves” (Quran 59:19), indicating ongoing consciousness. The belief in an afterlife impacts moral behavior and understanding of life’s purpose within Islam.
Q12: What is the ultimate purpose of life if the core message of most religions is to be the best person you can be? How does this align with the idea of religious truth and the diversity of beliefs?
In Islam, the ultimate purpose of life is to worship God and live according to His guidance, which includes being the best person one can be. The Quran states, “And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me” (Quran 51:56). This purpose aligns with the broader ethical teachings of many religions, emphasizing moral and spiritual growth.
Islamic Perspective on the Afterlife:
Q1: What is the Islamic perspective on the afterlife, specifically regarding the concepts of purgatory, heaven, and hell? How does this perspective compare to the Christian belief in heaven, judgment, and the afterlife?
Islam teaches that after death, individuals will face judgment based on their deeds. The righteous will be rewarded with eternal Paradise (Heaven), while the wicked will face Hell. The Quran describes Heaven as a place of eternal bliss and Hell as a place of severe punishment (Quran 55:46-56, 2:81). Christianity also teaches about Heaven and Hell but has different interpretations of judgment and salvation.
Q2: How does Islam view the concept of judgment day and the eventual fate of souls? How does this differ from the Christian belief in judgment and the afterlife?
Islamic belief holds that on Judgment Day, every soul will be judged fairly. The Quran states, “Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your compensation on the Day of Resurrection” (Quran 3:185). Christianity also teaches about judgment, but the specifics of judgment and salvation differ, with some denominations emphasizing faith in Jesus Christ as the primary means of salvation.
Q3: In the Islamic view, what happens to individuals who have passed away before judgment day? How does this relate to the concept of purgatory or limbo in other religious beliefs?
Islamic teaching states that deceased individuals remain in a state of Barzakh, a transitional phase until the Day of Judgment. This is not the same as purgatory but a state of waiting where souls experience a preview of their eventual reward or punishment (Quran 23:99-100).
Q4: How does the concept of heaven and hell in Islam compare to the depiction of these concepts in other religions, such as Christianity?
Islamic descriptions of Heaven and Hell are detailed and emphasize eternal outcomes based on one's earthly deeds. Heaven is depicted as a place of unimaginable pleasure, while Hell is described as a place of torment. Christianity also has detailed descriptions of Heaven and Hell but emphasizes different aspects of salvation and redemption.
Q5: What are the Islamic beliefs about the nature of heaven and hell, and how do they address the idea of eternal happiness or suffering?
Islamic beliefs describe Heaven as a place of eternal bliss and fulfillment, where believers will experience peace, joy, and closeness to God (Quran 56:10-26). Hell is described as a place of eternal suffering and regret for those who reject faith and commit grave sins (Quran 78:21-30). Both concepts address the consequences of moral choices and divine justice.
Q6: How does Islam address the issue of reincarnation, and what are the beliefs about the transformation of energy after death?
Islam rejects reincarnation, which is a concept in other religions like Hinduism. Instead, Islam teaches that each individual has a single life followed by resurrection and judgment. The Quran emphasizes resurrection, saying, “And it is He who gives life and causes death, and to Him you will be returned” (Quran 10:56).
Q7: How does the Islamic belief about animals and their consciousness differ from the beliefs about human consciousness and the afterlife?
Islam acknowledges animals as part of God’s creation with their own purpose. The Quran states, “There is not a thing but it exalts His praise, but you do not understand their praise” (Quran 17:44). While animals have consciousness and value in Islam, their afterlife is not described in detail as it is for humans. The focus is primarily on human responsibility and accountability.
Q8: How do Islamic teachings address the idea of moral and reason in animals compared to humans?
Islam teaches that animals act according to their instincts and are not judged as humans are. Humans, however, are endowed with reason and free will, making them accountable for their actions (Quran 95:1-2). The moral responsibility is unique to humans due to their capacity for choice and understanding.
Q9: What are the Islamic beliefs about the ultimate fate of all living creatures, including animals, after death?
Islamic texts do not provide extensive details about the afterlife for animals. However, animals are seen as part of God’s creation and will be treated with justice. The Quran mentions that animals will be gathered and judged on the Day of Resurrection (Quran 6:38).
Q10: How does Islam view the relationship between God and animals, and what are the implications for their spiritual existence?
Islam views animals as part of God’s creation with intrinsic value and purpose. They are to be treated with kindness and respect. The Quran states, “And the earth We have spread out, and placed therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein every [kind of] beautiful species” (Quran 50:7). Their spiritual existence is not elaborated upon, but their role and treatment are significant.
Q11: How do Islamic teachings compare with Christian beliefs regarding the nature of God, Jesus, and the concept of the Trinity?
Islam teaches the absolute oneness of God (Tawhid) and rejects the Trinity. The Quran emphasizes, “Say, ‘He is Allah, [who is] One” (Quran 112:1). Jesus (Isa) is considered a prophet, not divine. Christianity believes in the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus, which Islam views as inconsistent with the concept of monotheism.
Q12: How does Islam view the concept of divine judgment and the role of good deeds in determining one's fate in the afterlife?
Islam teaches that divine judgment is based on one’s faith and deeds. The Quran states, “So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it” (Quran 99:7-8). Good deeds are crucial, but faith in God is also essential for salvation.
Q13: How does the concept of doing good in Islam influence the behavior of individuals and their spiritual journey?
The concept of doing good is central to Islamic teaching and encourages ethical behavior, compassion, and justice. The Quran commands, “Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to their owners and when you judge between people to judge with justice” (Quran 4:58). Good deeds are seen as a reflection of true faith and lead to spiritual growth.
Q14: What is the significance of having different beliefs and practices in terms of mutual respect and understanding between individuals of different religions?
Islam emphasizes respect and understanding of others’ beliefs. The Quran states, “For you is your religion, and for me is my religion” (Quran 109:6). Mutual respect fosters dialogue and coexistence among diverse religious communities.
Q15: How does the Islamic view of the afterlife influence personal beliefs about life, death, and the treatment of others?
The Islamic view of the afterlife encourages ethical behavior and compassion towards others. Belief in judgment and reward/punishment shapes how individuals live their lives, aiming to fulfill religious obligations and treat others with kindness and justice.
Q16: What are the key teachings in Islam regarding the importance of doing good deeds and avoiding bad actions, and how do these teachings impact daily life?
Key teachings include performing acts of charity, honesty, and justice while avoiding sins and injustice. The Quran says, “Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure and the wicked will be in Hellfire” (Quran 82:13-14). These teachings guide Muslims in their daily interactions and spiritual practice.
Q17: How does the belief in the afterlife affect the way Muslims approach life and their interactions with others?
The belief in the afterlife influences Muslims to live righteously and to consider their actions as having eternal consequences. This belief motivates Muslims to act ethically, maintain good character, and fulfill their religious duties.
Q18: What is the Islamic perspective on the importance of personal intentions and actions in the context of divine judgment and the afterlife?
Islam emphasizes the importance of both intentions and actions. The Prophet Muhammad said, “Actions are but by intention, and every man shall have only that which he intended” (Sahih Bukhari). Pure intentions coupled with good deeds are essential for favorable judgment.
Q19: How does the concept of divine judgment in Islam differ from other religious beliefs, and what are the implications for the individual's spiritual journey?
Islamic divine judgment focuses on both faith and deeds, emphasizing the fairness and mercy of God. Unlike some religions that may emphasize faith alone or deeds alone, Islam balances both aspects. This comprehensive approach impacts how individuals prepare for the afterlife.
Q20: What is the role of love and compassion in Islam, and how does this influence the way Muslims view their relationships with others and their own spiritual beliefs?
In Islam, love and compassion are fundamental. The Quran describes Allah as "The Most Merciful" and the Prophet Muhammad as "a mercy to the worlds" (Quran 21:107). Muslims are encouraged to treat others with kindness and respect, as seen in the Hadith: "The merciful are shown mercy by The Merciful" (Sunan Abu Dawood). Compassion extends to family, community, and charitable acts, with teachings emphasizing forgiveness and support for those in need. These values guide Muslims in their relationships and spiritual practice, promoting empathy, community, and moral responsibility.
with that all the question of your father has been answered
Ma-sha’ Allah Brother you answered all the questions perfectly. Great effort wallah, I was just thinking of doing it later tomorrow but you succeeded me to the good deeds ma-sha’Allah 😊 Jazaka Allah Khairan brother
Hey my friend, thank you for the effort you put into this comment! I hope some people can find the answer to their questions👍
Word of advice to your father…if you dont know something and lack knowledge then stop talking and gain more knowledge. Then you can ask questions. You cant keep saying this is all same and copied then say “idk enough to talk about it” 🤦🏻♂️😐
to gain knowledge in anything is to ask a question. That’s what questions are for😂 And by stating “idk enough to talk about it” is saying “correct me if i’m wrong”
@@Tristan_costa there is a difference between asking questions to learn and what he was doing was just arrogantly doubting everything saying all religions say the same thing, not understanding that they essentially all came from the same source with the same message. He kept interrupting the video to disagree about something as if he knows it all and was too ignorant to just listen. Then when his son was trying to answer and explain he would respond by saying “idk enough about this”.
@@Tristan_costa more like "idk enough about these topics, let's not talk about it any further" for me
i just felt like he didn't have any will to learn more, he wanted proof, but he has no will to "find" that proof, may Allah guide him
@@luceindeep5879the will is spending 2 hours making videos watching it.. most ppl wouldn’t even consider it
@@Thee_Hamzathey both said multiple times idk enough about this(one is learning and knows some stuff, the other mainly knows what he grew up with), and the point about this video is to pause it ask questions and have conversations. Ofc he’s talking about his knowledge what he learned throughout his life(his own mother who literally prays 6 hours and constantly talks about her religion). Also to mention I’m Julian’s brother and Eddie’s son, I have made videos about this with julian. You also have to take into account and consider he’s spending 2 hours watching the videos to learn and see about the religion. On my behalf I come down to his place to learn and ask questions for multiple hours to the point i’m reading the quran now as well as planning to read the bible after. You need to look at a bigger picture then just to judge over a 2 hour video and call someone ignorant. The ignorance comes from you with a lack of knowledge on the whole situation(which to be fair there is so much you can understand in 2 hours so I cannot blame you).
😅
I really appreciate your patience on your dad
It seems that your dad has some kind of switch, when it's on he can say something like he knows everything, but when you asked him deeper questions suddenly the switch turned off and he said he doesn't know anything,
Actually my brother also has this kind of thinking, it's really hard to keep the discussion going with him😅
I feel like your dad really avoids religion, idk what past event he experienced in religion, that make him close his heart to religion,
Well, i hope you can keep patience and keep showing him the truth, i hope someday he will slowly open his heart, and open his mind on this kind of discussion
😂😂
May Allah guide you father and us. Ameen
That why Allah mentioned in Quran that our eyes are not blind but our heart is blind to see the truth. May Allah SWT bless you and your family. Aamiin
I admire your belief and respect for Islam. I wish I could be this patient. May Allah give strength and continuity to our faith. Ameen.
Mashallah...
Amazing father ... May god bless him 🤲
Mashallah keep going Julian ....we are with you brother....
This 100 years can't be compared to another 100 years. Humanity has a changed in this time but the changes were not so rapid in the past.
Allah giudes who he wants, we pray Allah guide your father and other none believers to the right path ameen
Thank you brother I was waiting for this next part debate with your dad 🤓
One advice brother. Give English translation of Quran to read & hopefully he finds the truth. ان شاء الله ﺗﻌﺎﻟﯽٰ
My prayers for you & your family ❤
Brother watch Jeffrey lang the purpose of life
You will find answers to your father and brother's questions.
He is a mathematics professor who has converted to Islam.
Yes I watched it many times
Say (O Muslims), "We believe in Allah and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob), and to Al-Asbat [the twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)],and that which has been given to Musa (Moses) and 'Iesa (Jesus), and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islam)."
So if they believe in the same as you believe in, then they have been [rightly] guided; but if they turn away, they are only in dissension, and Allah will be sufficient for you against them. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
[Our Sibghah (religion) is] the Sibghah (Religion) of Allah (Islam) and which Sibghah (religion) can be better than Allah's? And we are His worshippers. [Tafsir Ibn Kathir.]
Say (O Muhammad Peace be upon him to the Jews and Christians), "Dispute you with us about Allah while He is our Lord and your Lord? And we are to be rewarded for our deeds and you for your deeds. And we are sincere to Him in worship and obedience (i.e. we worship Him Alone and none else, and we obey His Orders)."
Or say you that Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob) and Al-Asbat [the twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)] were Jews or Christians? Say, "Do you know better or does Allah (knows better… that they all were Muslims)?And who is more unjust than he who conceals the testimony [i.e. to believe in Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him when he comes, written in their Books. (See Verse 7:157)] he has from Allah? And Allah is not unaware of what you do."
Holy Quran ❤
Asalamu aleykum brother, can we watch this video next time: How It All Began - Creation of The Adam (AS) & The Enmity of Iblis.
God Bless Us . Professor , Physicist Stephen Hawking Said Quran Is A Wonderful Book Please Read The Quran For Inner Peace , Love , Care , Shear . Love You All .
Salam brother Julian, there's a saying " we are in the era of informations and technology where the ignorance is a choice." sorry Dad, you can't just say that I don't know. The knowledge is out there. in islam everything is recorded.
It was at the time of Josef that there were kings and not Pharaohs.
Those people who were tested and had a miserable life on the day of judgement if they see the rewards that Allah prepared for them, Allah swt would ask them are you satisfied with it they would say we never suffered enough to deserve all these. And those who never were tested would wish if their skin was pulled off as test.
As for those who were born in different religions, if they are sincerely sinking the truth, Allah will guide them, even those born as muslims
Plus it's normal that the same message of Jésus pbuh and Moses and Mohammed are the same because they all came from the same source 🙄💁♀️
Try play him life after death video
What country are you guys from ethnicity wise? 🤔. Your dad looks a little like a Romanian. But you look like your are Spanish or Hispanic people like from El Salvador 😕. Your brother looks like a mix between British and Mexican 🤣. I'm confused 😩
Can you react to : birth of the devil true story by merciful servant
Julian, watch Jeffrey Lang's purpose of life
Quran over power the divil
May Allah guide your dad
Ameen
You are so patient habibi. You are a real Muslim. You have a really positive energy.
Your father is very very skeptic about the truth and seems very biased against religions altogether. Ask him what's his beliefs are and how he differentiate between right and wrong objectively. What are the sources of his morality in another terms!
hidayah are priceless, pray for your father, brother
True
i'm come from moslem family, and from my experience with my father when we are discuss something. my advice you need to introduce your father with someone older or wise (moslem lantern/Bobby percepective)etc... because some father still see us like babies😃 he just want to talk with us but shy to accept our advice. and now my father passed day im already old with my kids, so i know what your dad and your feeling.
Try react to purpose of life by Dr jeffrey lang
Dad says to be the "best" , but if you were to rely on humans, then "best" is different for each one. So there must be a standard "best". God is the one to decide the standard of "best".
Yes, best according to who? And what if you're good to all people but you ignoring the One who created you? Is that being good?
Im gonna be brutally honest, dont make dawah if you yourself are very limited in knowledge and confuse yourself whilst talking, it makes things much much worse, the best example of good dawah would be someone like Muslim lantern, Shiekh Uthman and Sabeel Ahmad, how can you expect your dad to understand you if you dont understand much either, just leave it to the videos honestly and have a dialouge on them and actually pick videos that peak that paticular persons interests
I can see you struggle in patience may Allah accept your efforts and grant you in multiples of hasanat (good deeds) and blessings for your noble intention. I just want you to look at his challenges and rebuttals no matter how trivial and frustrating they seem, try to perceive them as opportunities for you both to research and learn together. I couldn't write down every question and answer in a comment. But I suggest you list them down and embark on the journey of clearing his claims and questions one by one through watching RUclips videos on each topic or seek to join a live with Muhammed Ali (Muslim Lantern) or Shaykh Uthman (one message foundation) I believe they will help ground the conversation since its flying all over the place. That's natural but you may want to utilise an experienced dawa giver who can guide the conversation lay the basics and respond to the challenges presented by your father. In the end I commend you for your effort, it was beautiful to get to watch. I will wait for more, and I pray for you and your father, may Allah guide us all to his most righteous path.
Julian, keep it up! Allah grants Hidayah (Guidance), and you may very well be the means for that for your family inshallah
24:38 ... " Iam a lost soul ... and i don't know what to believe "
BREAKS MY HEART !!!!
May god bless and guide your father 🤲❤️🤲
Make dua for your father ...
Best time for dua is before the Sun goes up ... before Fajir 🤲
Not only dolphins, dogs, animals, even trees, stone, mountains, sun, moon, everything that God created has their own way to submit to God, they have their own role, and all of those things praise God it just we can't understand their language, God doesn't give those "things" free will, so they will always do that, but God give human free will, that's why human can doing very bad things out of their free will
10:8 because this isn't the real life, the real life is the next one, this life is a test.
"Worship none but Allah "
[Quran 11:2]
It seems your father argues a lot. You need to be patient with father
Make discussion with Muslim Lantern..
This is a playlist of amazing Quranic recitations of the stories of Jesus, may God bless him and grant him peace.

Some people are metaphorical blind, dumb and deaf, doesnt matter how much you tell them the TRUTH they will not BELIEVE , only GOD can give you guidance who HE WILLS. Some people only argue argue and argue. If someone said something which came true doesnt matter for millions of people say things which come TRUE, your father has LIMITED knowledge thats why he argues with you.
3:04 I mean your son
1. In the time of the Prophet Joseph, those who ruled Egypt were the Exos and they were kings, but the Pharaohs were the Egyptians who ruled Egypt in the time of the Prophet Moses. In the Bible, the rulers in the time of the Prophet Joseph were mentioned as pharaohs, and this is an error that contradicts archaeology. In the texts of the Qur’an, it was mentioned He mentioned the king, not the Pharaoh, in the time of the Prophet Joseph.
2. The name Haman was mentioned in the texts of the Qur’an, and it was impossible to know this name before the archaeological discoveries in the Pharaonic civilization as well. To know the name of Haman, you can read the story of the doctor Maurice Bucaille to know the story of this miracle in the Qur’an with one of the Egyptologists in Germany.
And do not crave what Allah has given some of you over others. Men will be rewarded according to their deeds and women equally according to theirs. Rather, ask Allah for His bounties. Surely Allah has perfect knowledge of all things.
Q4 (An-Nisa): Verse 32
Say, (O Muhammad), "I am only a man like you to whom it has been revealed that your god is but one God; so take a straight course to Him and seek His forgiveness." And woe to those who associate others with Allah.
[Qur'an 41:6]
Stay Strong my brother, we have all struggles to present the truth to people that we care like ower dads etc... , show hem 9 sientific facts from quran, mybe he will stop saying i dont know about this thing, because he will surly know about them when he see and reason. may allah guide hem.
🤔 you should react to some videos from the Muslim Lantern channel with your dad. That would be enlightening 👍. Please consider it. Muslim Lantern have discussions with atheist, agnostic and Christians etc
I will advise you brother to have a call of you and your dad with someone who have knowledge. His discrepancies are very easy explainable. Maybe try with someone who is on RUclips.
May Allah guide him.
So funny 😂, but if your dad didn't know the Bible is currupted or not tell him to do his research 😂, in the end a muslim is the person who choose to submit his will to god (allah), so you can't force anyone about his believe. May Allah have mercy on us all.
Great discussion 👍👍👍
I like the energy between you two. Can you ask your dad if he believes if there is an objective truth? I'm not raised as a Muslim either, I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, and I became a Muslim Alhamdulillah.
Keep learning brother and if you have questions you can ask "The Muslim Lantern" channel guy he is the best 😊
The teacher's example was good
At the beginning of the year, the teacher knows from his knowledge of the level of the students who will succeed at the end of the year.
That doesn't mean he decides who will pass or not.
Oh God i have so many things to say like literally i want to but ill inly say this , that i think this is the best conversation i have ever heard between two human beings these days. (I think)❤ Bcs im scared to let my tounge loose too easily yk😅, just may the ont true God guide you and your father bcs its lovely your conversation❤❤❤❤❤. Im a Muslim incase you'll be wondering.😊😊😊☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
be nice to your dad, dont try to convert him only allah guides people. Just be a good muslim and be good to your parents they will see the truth eventually.
Don’t stop dawah to your family and people around you if you know that half of the Companions needed years to follow the Truth and remember your attempts will be rewarded insha’Allah.
Btw you’re doing a great job.
May Allah bless you with more knowledge and wisdom and give you the strength to stand up for your beliefs and spread it to people around you.
Dawah is grooming
Allah knows and controls everything
But regarding the qadr ( Allah give us the free will to choose between the right and the wrong according to our knowledge and faith and Allah knows the two choices consequences so if you choose the right choice Allah knows it and he knows the opposite choice too what will happen to you if you choose it but other things that out of our control like for example if we forced to do something and we don’t know about it Allah will not judge us about it but of course he knows it and put it on our test so that we can get closer to Allah or learn from the experience so that we can do better in the test
your father keeps arguing because..he needs more info...
a lot of doubt in his heart.. but anyway he is sincere.
İn the moment when your father says: "I don't belive Jesus is God. Jesus and God a seperate persons. But I belive Jesus is the Son of god", I got hope.
Now I ask: what exactly did he mean by "son"?
If it's about not having a biological father, then Adam is also "God's son". Especially since Adam didn't even have a biological mother.
If the term "son" is common in the biblical sense, then the Bible refers to Jesus, Adam, the angels, the people of Israel, David, Solomon and also the believers as "sons of God".
End of the journey is going to see your lord allah ( god ) and Mohammad pbuh.. you took iman without seeing them... In your entire life is test right.. and you good deed and love it's gonna be rewarded...and the reward is you are going to see our Allah (god)
Sorry my english is not that good ❤
Subhan'Allah. Your dad is pretty dismissive of everything. May Allah guide him. You did a fantastic job with him, regardless. May Allah reward you 🤲☝️🕋
The drug dealer vs the 9-year old:
Key points:
- this life is a test. AND
- Allah gives us free-will.
Why Allah already knows but don't stop us? That's the point of a test. To test our beliefs by seeing what choice we would made through free-will.
And chi/dren automatically go to paradise if they unalive.
I respect the obvious fact that your dad genuinely loves you! Kudos to you Sir!
If I were you Julian, I would study more about Islam first for your knowledge then to get back to your dad with all the answers to his questions (write them down)
Btw, every question your dad asked has a very satisfying answer in Islam you just have to look them up.
I would suggest you watch the following channels:
The Muslim Lantern (Mohamad Ali)
DF Dawah, (Especifically Dr Imran)
One Message Foundation (Sheikh Othman)
even prophet Muhammad unable to make his uncle to be a Muslim...
You guys should react to THE MEANING OF LIFE MUSLIM SPOKEN WORDS…
God give human and jinn right to freewill even then accept right path or neglect the God's will. That's why God sent messengers and Prophets in every nation to guide human. Simple at the end of the time God will set everything then everyone knows.
It's matter if someone told you that about solar system about human life cycle that found correct after 1400 years. As your dad said ice age Prophet Muhammad PBUH already told about in hadith in which Prophet Muhammad PBUH says again arabia will be got green. Prophet PBUH used word again.
Say (O Muhammad SAW): "O Allah! Possessor of the kingdom, You give the kingdom to whom You will, and You take the kingdom from whom You will, and You endue with honour whom You will, and You humiliate whom You will. In Your Hand is the good. Verily, You are Able to do all things.
You make the night to enter into the day, and You make the day to enter into the night (i.e. increase and decrease in the hours of the night and the day during winter and summer), You bring the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living. And You give wealth and sustenance to whom You will, without limit (measure or account).
Holy Quran ❤
Your dad asked why there is suffering to some innocent people and why people get privilege and I think the BEST video you can show him to clarify it even in layman sense without doubt would be showing him "purpose of life by jeffery lang"
I cannot describe how good that video is, idk if you have watched it but its about an hour long so really hoping you give it a try with both ur brother and father
Bro you have to show miracles to your dad
You will find Shocking miracles in this channel
:- Binmad Al Ateeki, Numeric Miracles
May I suggest you and your dad react to 'The purpose of life' - Jeffrey Lang speech, duration around 1 hour and a half. Wonderful speech imho, and this from someone who was born muslim
Watch the Video of "The meaning of Islam spoken word about Islam" and search for Zakir Naik of this topic.
Allah the Almighty said:
* And know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and
adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth
and children - like the example of spring after the rain, its vegetation pleases the
Farmers; then it withers and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes dry chaff.
And in the Hereafter is a severe punishment . And forgiveness from Allah and
approval. And the life of this world is not but the enjoyment of delusion.*
(Quran)
may Allah guide your father. ameen keep steadfast n patient. i know this dawah with him is tough on a personal level. just pray 4 him n be the best Muslim u can be to illustrate the deen. be well n God protect u beloved brother.
Every creation that Allah created , all worship HIM no choice. Humans and jinns have choice they choose whether to worship or not.❤❤❤❤
He knows everything. But when questioned know nothing.
I ask Allah to make it easy for you, and to guide your father.
I will ask my friends to pray for you.
Tell your father ( religion ) is the rules for human how to live your life to succeed ( PASS) to enter HEAVEN for eternal life.
Lol your father is so argumentative on every little point, he doesn't seem to want to believe in anything related to God. He says he doesn't know anything about it, but he has an opinion about everything related to it. Honestly best advice for you as a new Muslim is to study and practice Islam and pray to Allah to guides him to the truth.
I would suggest he reads the Qurán and Hadiths (the practice and behavior of Prophet Muhammad BPUH). After all, the first words Allah spoke to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), is to read/recite etc. In other words learn, read, educate yourself etc. Your job on this Earth is to search for God and attain belief through understanding. So it makes sense that the last Messenger would bring the final message for humanity in detail. The mankind is at a stage of development where they can study enough to come to the truth about God's existence. Praise to be to Allah, the amazing Qurán covers all ears, all times in such a concise way that it's always relevant.
Angel's don't have desire they have intellect and they use it to worship God alone at all times. Jinn don't have intellect they have desire. Example possession desire to take over human body or human relem. Human have both desire and intellect a free will to use either desire to sin or use intellect to obey God. Satan is not an angel he is a Jinn his desire is he is better then Human therefore he was banished.
13:05 its so simple, I hope u can explain it to your dad better later brother.
Life is a test
1. If God knows what will happen, why does He put us to the test?
If the teacher already knows who will pass the test and who will not, and the exam were to be canceled, instead the teacher announced that student A passed the test and student B failed the test without the exam being held. Would that be fair?
2. If God knows I would do that, why doesn't He stop me?
If God stops you from doing mistakes, where is the test then?
I am sorry… but I feel bad for the son. Religion aside, he seems arrogant to expand his knowledge. This is not a man in his twenties… “I don’t know, I don’t know” what has he learned over the years on earth then?
I think this is a wake up call for him to read and research. May Allah grant him idayah.
Wrong if he said religion just follow what their parrent religions is, convert is greater than just follow, because we have intellect and desire, not robot of our parents, the prove is many people convert from christianity to atheist or agnostic.. they're thinking and have desired.. glad tiding to who convert to the truth, Islam
Reincarnation 34:28 is the most illogical and unjust idea ever , which one of those reincarnated characters will be held accountable for your wrong deeds ?! The spider? Or an innocent new born baby? Or a Tree !
In Islam YOU are the only one responsible for your choices , there is no savior but the creator and no escape from facing the consequences of your actions .
Re: free will. If we didn’t go through everything ourselves we wouldn’t learn and grow and judgment would appear to us as potentially unjust (if on judgement day God just told us this one goes to heaven this one goes to hell because he knows what we would have done)
Respect to you and your patience and high manners with your dad. That’s what our religion teaches us to do. 👍👍👍
I advise him to read the Qur’an. This is a person who needs God to address him directly. If he is honest, he will feel that. He seems to be influenced by Western ideas and religions that are based on falsehood and distortion, which is why he questions everything.
More conversations like this with your father in the future, but with books so that he does not tell you i don't know the answer. I love you both for the sake of God. May God guide him, your father Awesome.
Your father doesn't know anything but he isn't willing to learn. But u should be patient.
if you're best to the other people and not best to your creator, Allah created you to worship him and if you don't worship Allah will punish that person the day of the judgments
If your dad is interested I can show him proofs as a mathematicians...
Your dad has a has a bias from Christianity and doesn’t realize it. He doesn’t see the difference in Islam because he doesn’t want to. May Allah open his heart to see the truth. Make dua brother.
Get him to react to surahs Like Ar Rahman By Luhaidan Or Furqan from Luhaidan
It's not the eyes that are blind but the hearts.. truly. It seems your dad really doesn't want to believe or even think about what could be the truth. It seems he didn't even want listen or ponder cuz he has his opinion set on things he believes. May Allah give you the strength to do dawah to your family and I hope they can truly open their hearts and see the truth.
