You're most welcome

Alaikum Salam. That's wonderful to hear. You can email me on zkeskin@csu.edu.au

Because the prophet (saw) himself explained with every detail, do you have a problem with the prophet’s explanation?

@BabaBobo-j8j thank you for your kind words. Ameen.

I really appreciate your feedback! Dr. Ömer certainly has the skill to make complex topics easy to understand.

Wa Alaikum Salam. Thank you.

@AmanziMtaja thank you

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you found the message helpful. I'll definitely keep sharing more insights.

You say, “anything is possible for God and then “it was spiritual” The two statements contradict each other. So, the correct statement is: “anything is possible for God, therefore, miraj was physical.” Why would Quraysh disagree if miraj was spiritual or just a dream?

@tanerserdar i was not on about the miraj but rather what i had peronally experienced. When two cherribum angles held me from my wrists and lifted me up i could see my body sitting on the chair and my head on the table. Thus they did not lift me in physical form but in spirit form.

Al Aqsa was originally built by Suleyman (as), it was restored later on.

As Muslims we believe, as for the others, its their choice. Many people don’t believe in God either, what can we do?

Wa iyyakum

@WISDOMLINES7 Alaikum Salam. One person at a time, we can make this society better Inshallah :)

I agree that we can change the universe to Allah as He is the All-Powerful and All-Knowing. My sticking point would be that we will "get what we want.". You see, what we want is not always good for us. This is where we ask of Allah, seek from Allah, but we then have tawakkul in Allah, trusting that He will grant it to us if it is good for us. Allah swt says in the Qur'an, "Perhaps you dislike something which is good for you and like something which is bad for you. Allah knows and you do not know." (Qur'an, 2:216)

@WISDOMLINES7 I totally agree, the family plays a ciritical role. This advice was about what we can do as a community for youth, but we can also support parents, as a community, in developing their parenting skills.

@drzuleyhakeskin yes,u r absolutely right,nourishing parenting skill as community is also utmost need.. Thnx Dr ,for replying.. Really found ur yt channel impressive.. Keep it up👌

An excellent analogy.

@rashadbay thank you for sharing.

@abdigah5364 in Islamic theology, there is the dhat (being of Allah) and then the names and attributes of Allah. Also, keep in mind verses such as, "Indeed your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then established Himself on the Throne." (Qur'an, 7:54)

Wa iyyakum

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you

You're most welcome.

That's beautiful, thank you for sharing. I sometimes think about which name of Allah is my favourite, but it keeps changing 😊

@@drzuleyhakeskin Indeed changes. 🙂

Totally agree.

Yes, a treasure that we need to be willing to explore...

Maybe you have a better answer? How easy it is to write a comment of criticism without providing a better argument.

@@tanerserdar would it matter to you if I did? First here's what NDT said about the topic : th-cam.com/video/bCkROXVT7Zs/w-d-xo.html there you will see that they only referred to a Tsunami and started from there. All Tyson was arguing was that God can't be all powerful AND all good at the same time. He's not saying that God should be good or in the absence of God, that life should be fair. In general, the problem of evil goes beyond natural catastrophes which take people lives every now and then (this is, sadly, because some people have the guts to say that a Tsunami which causes hundreds of 1000s of deaths is not that bad :D, e.g. the folks in the above vide). It deals with gratuitous suffering . Like an injured conscious being in the middle of nowhere slowly suffering to death. Here the being is suffering, there is no "human" around to be taught a lesson by watching the suffering (again this is a reference to the people of faith's answer to "why is a child born with cancer, suffers for a couple of years than dies".. of course, for the faithful this is all good, it's for the parents faith to be tested, the baby is going to heaven anyway, the Lord works in mysterious ways). If God is all GOOD and does NOT do anything about events of gratuitous suffering, then the only explanation left is that he CAN'T change the situation and therefore is not all powerful. I guess the faithful needs to choose which one of these attributes of GOD to sacrifice.

@@marouendallali9205 The argument is simple my friend: if you don’t believe God, then you cannot blame God for evil and suffering that exists on earth. Life is short, one way or another we all die. Illnesses, disasters, accidents, they are all reasons. The result does not change, we will all die. If you believe God and life after death where everyone will be compensated for their suffering, it all makes sense. If there is no life after death, then your argument would be valid.

@@tanerserdar seriously? this is what I get? I have not watched the video? As I said.. if I answered would you listen? Obviously you have not or did not want to :). I think I addressed what you asked for in my first response (which I mysteriously can't find anymore) and I stick to it. You're free to reflect on it or not. Briefly again, no one is arguing about what makes sense and what does not. God is free to not be ALL GOOD. Only if there is gratuitous suffering (which I argue there is), then God can't enjoy being all good and all powerful at the same time :). Live long (or should I say short?) and prosper.

@@marouendallali9205 :) You are never going understand because you insist on making standards for God using the mind He gave you. Anyway, this was a waste of time, have good day…

That's correct, an important aspect of muraqaba is self-reformation, which in itself will lead to growth and contribute towards inner peace.

Who thinks that? Who are you accusing of this?

@ Neil Drgrasse. It does not make sense to me to argue against the prophet. No man is above or even close to him in knowledge, wisdom and understanding. No man.

@abihah1663 Alhamdulillah...

@tanerserdar If the internal critic shows that God can not exist then yes. Just like Allah says he does not have a son, then goes on to say how can he have a son when he doesnt have a wife! And Muslims do it all the time with the trinity showing it as illogical and therefore untrue. I only listened to the 1st point and didn't bother with the rest.

I am sorry brother but you insist on not understanding the premise here. The video talks about a philosophical argument, not internal beliefs. Internal belief does not change the fact that the universe requires an originator. If a person is not convinced with God’s existence, then he should question God’s existence first, not God’s attributes. A person who does not believe God, but questions God’s attributes is a like a individual questioning the attributes of an agent that does not exist. If you think this is logical, no further discussion needed.

@tanerserdar My final reply as we seem to be on different wave lengths and YT is not the best place to tgrash these things out. Discussion of God requires the advocator to define what he means as it is not a universally understood/agreed term. Sorry but originator says nothing as that could be an eternal mindless object which could just be an attribute of the universe. As for God that supposedly has choice and power to control and change things and demand fairness justice and the reality points to the opposite, a chaotic almost everything trying to eat, kill or lean on everything else to survive world shows a major contradiction in that claim of God's being. Trying to prove an originator exists is a philosophical exercise that just gets to a point of we can tell for sure at best.

@muslamicknight9621 Sorry what??? Originator could mean the universe itself? Pantheism? A temporal, contingent space-time originated and designed itself??? No further discussion is needed, take care my friend…

@JohnSpencer90 the problem with Tyson's argument is that he is making assumptions, or judgements, about what is good. Let me give you an example of what I mean. When my daughter was younger and I would ask her to brush her teeth before she went to bed, she would say "you're being mean to me" and she genuinely meant it. We all know that it's not mean to ask a child to brush their teeth if we know about teeth hygiene. Similarly, labelling something good or evil is not as straightforward as Tyson makes out. It makes many many assumptions, and we're arguing in this video that his assumptions are problematic...I hope you understand my point.

@@drzuleyhakeskin Thank you for engaging. While it's true that people can assign subjective interpretations to some words, to be fair to Dr. Tyson, he provided explicit examples-earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods-that are universally recognized for their negative impact on human well-being. Consider this: if humans possessed the knowledge to prevent or redirect these natural disasters, they would likely use it. God, on the other hand, either lacks the capability to intervene or is indifferent to their effects on humanity.

@@drzuleyhakeskin Thank you for engaging.

Consider this: if humans possessed the knowledge to prevent or redirect these natural disasters, they would likely use it. Even in this regard it appears that human love exceeds that of the entity of which you speak.

@JohnSpencer90 in such a case, we are making a human judgement that takes only this life into consideration without any consideration for afterlife, and spiritual life for that matter. If 3 year olds possessed the ability/autonomy to not brush their teeth (going off my previous analogy), 99% would enforce it. I am not saying we are like 3 year olds, but we are like "the children of God" to some degree - our knowledge and wisdom is a fraction of God's knowledge and wisdom.

I am sorry but you are wrong my friend. Dr Tyson’s argument is an agnostic approach where he uses the premise “if God exists” He cannot be both all-powerful and all-good. The first problem: when one says “if God exists” they are implying that they do not know if God exists or not. Then how could they make a judgement about a being that they have no knowledge of? The second problem: if God exists, how is it possible for a human being to decide how God should be? Does an agent who created the entire universe have an obligation to follow the moral standards established by the human mind? The third problem: in philosophy, “if” arguments cannot be verified because they are extremely hypothetical. Therefore, Dr Tyson’s argument is a flimsy argument as it is highly speculative… The reason you find his argument reasonable is: it is like saying “if my auntie had XY chromosomes, she would be my uncle” yes the argument maybe correct when you use “if” but the reality is she does not have XY chromosomes and therefore she is your auntie. So, we need to first establish if God exists or not. If we are convinced He exists then we can talk about why He allows evil on earth…

It’s not 2 it’s one only and it’s meraj

@Killa_3 can you expand on what you mean? Why do you think Muslims will remain backwards for another 100 years?

What is the relevance???
