Hasan spiker has so much to offer towards islamic education in conversation with modernism and western philosophy in general, wish to to see him more. On a side note I've been recently reading about the fren*h revolution and the connections between islam and Muslims and the aftermath of the Haitian revolution led by Muslim black slaves, i think it would be an interesting history to explore in this channel in the future perhaps regardless keep up the good work and looking forward for your Cambridge talk!
Amazing what becomes of you if and only if you can always make time for blogging theology on TH-cam. I proudly advertise this channel for the love of humanity . Alhamdulillah
Thank you Paul for pointing out the aspect of Yaqeen in surah Baqar. We have firm faith and firm belief in the unseen and the afterlife. No scientific proof needed.......
JazakAllah Khayr. Please continue a whole series on the history, philosophy and implications of Liberalism with Shaykh Hasan. There is obviously more to discuss and tease out.
When Sir Hasan Spiker speaks, you have to listen carefully and give your full attention to every word ! Thanks again for Sir Paul for such rich, deep and eloquent discussion.
A very interesting and timely topic. Exercising "freedom" (the wrong way) is going to tear the world and humanity. The problem, I think, is mis-use of "freedom" and "hierarchy" as well. Well done Dr. Hasan Spiker, and God bless you both for this informative presentation.

Only half way through, but could one argue that hierarchy today is not entirely abolished and exists in the form of economic value. Or perhaps in a utilitarian sense in the maximizing of pleasure for the greatest number of people such that entertainers are richly rewarded by society whilst care workers can barely expect to survive.
How is the tabula rasa/blank slate was anyway related with the voluntarist interpretation of reality at all? It is one thing to recognise and being imposed by the right objective struture on the mind that is capable of reciving them (while having no prior concept or not) and it is another thing to say tabula rasa lead to voluntarism.
Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) once said to his companion this world to Allah is less worth than a dead goat he picked it up in the street, now at that time people may not have understand this. But knowing what we know now that the universe is infinite, then it makes total sense that to Allah this world is that much less worth. now tell me if he wasn't a true prophet how could he have known this

As a Muslim who grew up in a western, non Islamic environment, it is not hard to see that hierarchy as understood and and antagonised by liberal thought, is not the natural and therefore Divine hierarchy of creation, but the man made hierarchy of oppressive institutions both secular and religious, that have nothing of natural, let alone Divine, about them. We should always be aware of the context in which certain thoughts are developed, in order to understand and criticize them: saying "that is not what hierarchy means" would not help if that is what hierarchy (or any other concept) is understood to mean in a given context.
What a strange comment. Personally, I found the essays in Black Rednecks fascinating. But you can read whatever you like. Is this a diss of the books read in Shaykh Hamza Yusuf’s bookclub?
To all the Muslims out there who embrace Islam later in life, don’t change your name. Especially if you have a name with meaning like a biblical name. You don’t have to change your name into Noor Al Haqqi Al Siddiqi
I think it's good for new Muslims to change their names. It is making Islam more visible and normal. I'm a revert and my family call me by my old name. But everyone else calls me by my Muslim name.

There is a beautiful couplet by Mirza Bedil on beauty which on the one hand asserts that beauty is objective, and someone may have have been preferentially endowed with it but then moral principle is the true locus of truth. از حسن فرنگ، اینقدرم شد معلوم کاین دوزخیان، بهشت دیگر دارند (From the beauty of white people one thing is inferred they are hell bound while paradise is for some others) Here whiteness is invoked in sense of them not being mumineen (faithful). the suspension of the idea of beauty and good seems to be as consequence of the idea of toleration.
Brother Paul, we love you for the sake of Allah. A request though... Can you bring a guess that can speak about the danger of Sufism. It is all roses on the outside, but full of additions to the religion of the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. And some New Reverts are not aware of it. Jazaka'llahu Khairan
Paul will not bring someone to propagate ignorant hate against sufism. He discussed the atter already and brought a guest that discussed the issue : we all know that some pseudo sufis are misguided but just because a minority of Sufis are misguided that does not delegitimize sufism as an islamic science. All of our great ulama were sufis including Ibn Taymiyya and Al Ghazali. Only modernist reformist type salafis hate on sufism and want to exclude sufism from islam. That is ignorant and wrong.
What nonsense and ignorant talk about Sufism . Yes there are some who do wrong in sufism . So are some who do wrong in Salafism , shia and sunni and ahmadi etc . A beautiful concept of sufism misrepresented and misunderstood due to ignorance. Just like enemies of Islam misrepresent Islam and Muslims . Sum-mum bonum of sufism is Love God and love people for the love of God . Regarding visiting of grave of sufi Sheikhs or leaders : yes they do , nothing wrong with it , there are associated Masjids that prayers are done there . Most do not ask to the dead sheikh , they pray and ask God . Muslims also visit the grave in Madina in millions and they pray to God not to the contents of grave . Some do in both places unfortunately .
@@786humaira1 Why are you getting mad, brother? Would we get asked in the grave or on the judgement day if we belong to any sect or would we be asked if we followed the religion the way our prophet peace and blessings of Allah be upon him taugh us? Hmmmm
assalamualaiqum..could you discuss the reason why the Jew did'nt execute 'stoning' to Mary(based on al quran explanation) while we know she's been surronded by the people who applied the 'stoning' law
Yes, there are freedoms. We Muslims are not programmed machines. But with freedom comes responsibility. Responsibility towards God, towards parents and fellow humanbeings e.t.c. It's man's responsibility to obey and submit to the will of God. And in return God will reward the obedient ones with His mercy, love and eternal paradise in hereafter. A muslim cannot leave daily prayers, fasting and alms giving, becoz that is what draws one closer to God and being obedient servant means.
We haven't create our self we are not 100% free ( if we accept that or not ) we suppose to submit to our creator Allah Almighty then He give us Paradise for free with His Mercy

Mr. Paul is still hazy What he mean by hierarchy. I don't think he meant hierarchy as causation as you understand it. Can you explain more

It's funny how you explained to yourself why the tabula rasa leads to voluntarism in the process of trying to deny it.
Hi Paul, mashallah your pronunciation of Hassan’s name is perfect like a native Arabic speaker.

Judea was under Roman rule at the time, so the Jewish Halacha law was not applied at that time. So they couldn’t kill her even if they wanted to.
The explication for that is mentioned in the Qur'an when jesus pbuh spoke as a child vindicating his blessed mother
That's a very interesting question to be asked to Christians.
