Chris Hedges is an anarcho-communist who only "supports" Muslims because they are currently victims of Neoliberal Imperialism. If Muslims had any power he would insult us as much as he does the Christian Fundamentalists. His books promote feminism, liberalism and a very modernised form of Christianity which are his true beliefs.

This is an excellent Channel. Brother Paul Sir, well done and thank you. You even throw in the british humour every now and then, which is great! On another note it always baffles me that some scientists of all people are not in front of the queue raising their hands in the belief of the existence of God (of couse many are, but I'm referencing to those that out of sheer ignorance and pride do not).
@@md.azizulhoque1263 salam ill try to keep it succinct. i studied history and world religion for many years for my comic book and still do. i realized on my own their is a highest absolute uncreated creator that is necessary and perfect. it was an intense realization i didnt want to accept an uncreated creator was the most logical explanation for existence if you can look past the scientism we are brainwashed with in uni. A few seconds after that i try to get my mind off it by returning to my studies for my comic book, i was studying Jinn/Genies at the time and thought what better place to research about Jinn then in the quran. i went to a random chapter and came across surah ikhlas, it was so logical and clear and beautiful it hit me like a truck and freaked me the heck out. i put the quran away for about a month because i knew if i kept reading i would become a muslim, but something in me said if i deny what i just realized and read i would be amongst those who deny the truth for my petty convinience. for that month i could not focus on any of my work, it was like the quran was calling me to read it everyday. i would be up at 3am reading the quran in my car asking questions to myself and getting the answers immideatly from the quran. It was very intense and i couldnt stop reading and i dont really read books if its not a comic book tbh. Even with all this i was still reluctant to accept Islam even though it made sense. You see most of my friends were anti-religion but not on the same level as i was. Back then id actively find religious ppl to debate for sport and i even named my cat satan as a joke to troll my christian vetrenarian so hed have to say his name whenever id get a check up for my cat. But subhanallah i found all of that was like a weak spiderweb that god just cleared as i read the quran and studied the last prophet sincerely. Yet their was still this reluctantcy to accept Islam, so i assumed the most humiliating position for the Ego, Sajda, and asked God to show me the truth no matter what it is. A week later i took my shahada alhamdillah.
Perfect thing to listen to while I'm at work. Thanks Paul and Ali for always having the best podcasts on this channel. As a former skeptic these videos always fill me with the rush of excitement I got when I knew for certain there's no god but Allah

I used to struggle with this question in my youth but I don’t even need to ask this question anymore. I KNOW god exists just like I know the sun exists. I can’t prove to anyone else that the sun exists even if it’s shining outside and you can see it right infront of you. A denier can always deny what’s infront of him. They have no shame. So I basically just believe on my own and I know that God exists. The proof is there in our hearts and in creation but you can’t prove anything to a denier. A denier will always be a denier. Don’t try to convince them because it’s a futile job. Just let them be and Allah guides who he wants.
9:50 I actually did.... The album cover art for the famous album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beetles features the 4 band members posing with 71 famous people. Included in this list is the British occultist Aleister Crowley, and in this article we are going to answer the question: Why was Aleister Crowley included in the cover art for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band? Aleister Crowley is on the cover of the Beatle’s album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band because they wanted to have a variety of famous and influential people in the design. Paul McCartney thought of the concept, and John Lennon suggested Aleister Crowley after seeing the occultist’s books in a trendy bookstore.
Thank you Dr Ataie for your scholarly and erudite presentations. As always a banquet of knowledge. Thank you Paul for making these discussions available. Excellent.
This is just a simple point to ponder upon, i know people will then come and say o you dont understand this and that and a robot can come from toaster.... Here it is Atheist stands before you with his body which is comprised of over 20 trillion cells, each cell contains bridges, factories, complex and exquisite coding systems in the genetic code. He looks at you with his eyes which contain a colour-coded imaging system with an astonishing resolution, along with a fantastical mechanism for storing both dynamic and static images, rather interpreting these images via the brain and analysing them in less than a second. He stands there with his upright figure which is run by 640 muscles, forgetting his heart which has been functioning for over 20 years; day and night, while asleep and while awake, without any external maintenance. Then the command comes from his brain - about which solid scientific thesis and papers have been written, and which still contains a great deal of ambiguity uncertainty- to move his tongue which is linked to the jaw by 17 muscles; He stands there to ask you with extraordinary intelligence; 'Where is the evidence for (the existence of) a Creator?". I don't know which of the two answers is more befitting in this situation; {...in yourselves. Then will you not see?} Surat Adh-Dhariyat 51:21. Ahh man you irrational muslim you dont know how a flatworm was converted into Albert Einstein by mutations over millions of years!!!
Our existence itself display characteristics of design, function, complexity, and precision(fine tuning)....Any objects that display those kind characteristics must require a conscious and intelligence mind in order to exist....our existence is enough to prove the existence of God
@@ezzwizz5219 yes dear! I agree but since now we have people who are on the mission of challenging their selfish genes and doubt their own senses, cast doubts about their own existence, deny freewill and then call themselves freethinkers, the human being is now a biochemical puppet, chemical scum no different than rock and insect, are lecturing about rationality and are using Their new religion that is methodological naturalism to deceive people... They will soon become fertilizers for soil but will leave their bio chemical puppetism behind... لا اله الا الله واشهد ان محمد صلي الله عليه وسلم عبده و رسوله
I've listened to 3 of these men for years when I was an atheist. They actually have no arguments. Sam Harris' understanding of religious Scriptures is very poor. It's as if he never read them. Hitchens is highly articulate and charismatic when he speaks. The best orator of our time. However, once you get past this skill, his entire argument is based on morality. The problem, as a materialist, he can't make moral judgments, let alone moral condemnations. Dawkins is just an arrogant prick who thinks he is smarter than everyone else. Dennett, I have not listened to.
Same. And Sam Harris speaks with so much confidence it attracts people to think he is correct without any prior knowledge of scripture themselves. “He sounds smart so I’m going to listen to him” basically all of the Horsemen’s affection is thru that.
Peter Hitchens, who is Christopher's brother, is a well known British journalist who is serious Christian and social conservative (against legalisation of drugs, pro marriage)
Those atheists are probably smarter than many believers. However, they will never believe because God controls their hearts and if God finds their hearts filled with arrogance: he will never let them believe. So don’t waste your time elsewhere, “the problem is with your hearts and not with your brains” check out this verse and put your ego down and distinguish it, and then come back to me and tell me what you see. Al-A’araf 7-146 I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant upon the earth without right; and if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. And if they see the way of consciousness, they will not adopt it as a way; but if they see the way of error, they will adopt it as a way. That is because they have denied Our signs and they were heedless of them.
I have yet to come across one of the new Atheists’ supposedly good arguments against the existence of God that hadn’t been already successfully answered by Aquinas centuries ago.
I was just browsing. Stumbled upon this video. What a gem of a lecture! Dr. Ali Ataie and sir Paul are gifts for Ummah. Dr. Ali eloquently deconstructed the atheist argument with logic and reasoning. May Allah (Swt) bless him and protect him.
@@muslimresponses9731 hey shaikh my guy is now responding to OCDs.. Masha allah.. Check out the ridiculous replies to my latest video by two atheists then their dismantling and roasting..
They say, "If God shows himself, I'll believe him," and I usually respond with, "But I don't believe you." Why? Because in the past, there were humans called prophets, bending the laws of physics in front of the crowd, and few of them believed it. Prophet Ibrahim is the best example. He came out of a fire that would logically kill him instantly, and how many people believed him afterwards from the entire population of Babylon who witnessed that? Only one, and that was his nephew, Prophet Lut.
We need people like Richards Dorking? God created these people for a reason . Without these people , there is no challenge or proof of God.We need them , this is what keep us to think and argue about Creation and God✌🏽❤️
As a Muslim, I agree. These people they are there for a reason. Just like Satan, they sway the sheep, people who don't think, Muslim or otherwise. Their existence cause people of caliber to come out, challenge, and defeat them out in public. Once this happens, the great bloom happens inshallah, mucch like Pharoah and Musa AS countdown. *Wrong will not win against right, it is foretold by God.*
When i die I have nothing to lose if God, heaven and hell not exist but for those who dont believe, what if there are...wise people are those who prepared...
Whenever atheists say that why does God Allow bad things like wars and r*pe and stuff this verse comes to my mind. "Remember when your Lord said to the angels, "1 am going to place a successive "human" authority on earth." They asked "Allah", "Will You place in it someone who will spread corruption there and shed blood while we glorify Your praises and proclaim Your holiness?" Allah responded, "I know what you do not know." Qur'an 2:30. They are not the first one Question this. The Angels asked this question to Allah himself. And if one reads the following verses the Allah gives the answer to the Angels.. Bad people do bad things. Atheists: Therefore God doesn't exist..
I think "who creates God" is a flawed question to begin with. It assumes that God is subjected to the same law that govern the universe; i.e causality. But really we have no basis to think why, if universe was purposely created, the Creator must be subjected to the same law that the Creator himself created? Remember, the reason human ask "what causes what" to begin with is because everything we observe within the universe operate like that. But theres no reason to think it should be applied to the Being that Creates it.
To avoid the numerous interruptions requiring interaction with the commercials, you can watch the same lecture posted two weeks ago on the MCC East Bay channel.
Quran is the only book that claims God as it’s author but when Richard Dawkins was asked about the Quran he said he had no time to read it. Isn’t this illogical.
Thanks brother Paul for this video of my most favourite of your guests👍 I think that the moral approach to the question of 'Does God exist?' is nonsensical because ontological conclusions aren't proven or disproven according to their ethical implications, in other words: things don't come into being and get out of it according to how good or bad they are, there's a lot of immoral, evil and harmful stuff in the world yet they're all real. So in order to answer the aforementioned question we should search for evidence of God's existence, the topic of whether God wants us to love or hate each other is irrelevant.
it's a bad week to be sam harris, more than usual I mean, he just lost what remains of his credibility this week when he openly admitted in a podcast that he's perfectly happy to lie, cheat and/or bury the truth as long as it helps his political party. When the incredulous hosts gave him a chance to get out of the hole he was digging, harris went and got a bigger shovel instead. shoutout to the middle nation channel for also absolutely dismantling harris and the evangelical atheists.
Incredible lecture! I very much loved this. I love everything you and Dr ali ataie do, just amazing!! Small point, Allister Crowley mentioned in context of john Lennon being a Satanist? because of the cover of the beetles album Allister Crowley was not the founder of the church of satan that was anton levey...they both look similar and were very involved in occultism and magic but are different.
Ive got to say, when i got recommended that video where you said you would be converting to islam i was surprised,and the only thing i can say is takbir!

Hitchens is highly articulate and charismatic when he speaks. The best orator of our time. However, once you get past this skill, his entire argument is based on morality. The problem, as a materialist, he can't make moral judgments, let alone moral condemnations. Dawkins is just an arrogant prick who thinks he is smarter than everyone else. Dennett, I have not listened to.
Same. And Sam Harris speaks with so much confidence it attracts people to think he is correct without any prior knowledge of scripture themselves.
“He sounds smart so I’m going to listen to him” basically all of the Horsemen’s affection is thru that.
I love listening to intelligent people and Prof Ali Ataie is one of them.May Allah increase you in wisdom.
Brother Paul and Dr. Ali are outstanding!
Dr Ataie should write a book "God is not great but God is the greatest "
how about you write it ? you've already got a sick title .
"God is not only great but the GREATEST"
Hitchens now believes in God and Hell Fire!
And regrets all his lies against Allah.
Peter Hitchens, who is Christopher's brother, is a well known British journalist who is serious Christian and social conservative (against legalisation of drugs, pro marriage)
And you know this, how?

Those atheists are probably smarter than many believers. However, they will never believe because God controls their hearts and if God finds their hearts filled with arrogance: he will never let them believe. So don’t waste your time elsewhere, “the problem is with your hearts and not with your brains” check out this verse and put your ego down and distinguish it, and then come back to me and tell me what you see.
Al-A’araf 7-146
I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant upon the earth without right; and if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. And if they see the way of consciousness, they will not adopt it as a way; but if they see the way of error, they will adopt it as a way. That is because they have denied Our signs and they were heedless of them.
what a knowledgeable speaker never saw before so impressive and full of knowledge and speaking power mashaallah May Allah bless u
Brilliant Jazakallah Khair brother for sharing
I have yet to come across one of the new Atheists’ supposedly good arguments against the existence of God that hadn’t been already successfully answered by Aquinas centuries ago.
You missed the point. There is no evidence for the existence of a magic man in the sky. The atheists just don't believe your fairy story books.
Lots of love from Indian occupied Kashmir
Thanks brother Paul. I wached the lecture, it was amazing and blow up the atheist ideology. Jazaka Lahu khayran...
Such videos deserve so so so much more views
Excellent, excellent points to the argument! Much appreciated in the quest for truth!
I was just browsing. Stumbled upon this video. What a gem of a lecture! Dr. Ali Ataie and sir Paul are gifts for Ummah. Dr. Ali eloquently deconstructed the atheist argument with logic and reasoning. May Allah (Swt) bless him and protect him.
WAllahi i hope ur video can help me in my faith with all waswas who tuch my heart ... make duaa for me ikhwa may الله bless u all

@@zyadlarossi4192 just say it here in the replies
I dont have social media other than yt
@@muslimresponses9731 hey shaikh my guy is now responding to OCDs.. Masha allah.. Check out the ridiculous replies to my latest video by two atheists then their dismantling and roasting..
Am begging you to make multi languages captions
Pleeeeeease
This kind of videos must reach to whole the world
They say, "If God shows himself, I'll believe him," and I usually respond with, "But I don't believe you." Why? Because in the past, there were humans called prophets, bending the laws of physics in front of the crowd, and few of them believed it. Prophet Ibrahim is the best example. He came out of a fire that would logically kill him instantly, and how many people believed him afterwards from the entire population of Babylon who witnessed that? Only one, and that was his nephew, Prophet Lut.
Subhanallah! Dr Ali left nothing for the rest of us to add or do.
Great discussion! Mashallah!
Thank you my dear brother.
Nailed it, Masha’Allah. May Allah guide all of us, Ameen.
May Allah reward you both (brother Paul & Dr Ali) in this world and hereafter for this wonderful presentation
Mashallah wisdom & intellect.
Thank you, Mr. Paul for letting us know of this video. It was very useful
We need people like Richards Dorking? God created these people for a reason . Without these people , there is no challenge or proof of God.We need them , this is what keep us to think and argue about Creation and God✌🏽❤️
As a Muslim, I agree. These people they are there for a reason. Just like Satan, they sway the sheep, people who don't think, Muslim or otherwise. Their existence cause people of caliber to come out, challenge, and defeat them out in public. Once this happens, the great bloom happens inshallah, mucch like Pharoah and Musa AS countdown.
*Wrong will not win against right, it is foretold by God.*
God is the highest intelligence. God is the highest power or the highest energy. God is the purest conciseness. God is the light.All knowing.
someone give this guy a decent mic, oh someone did give him a mic. This guy isa genius, love listening to him
what a man i admire u Ali may Allah bless u great speaker
11:00 exactly what had me pick up the Quran. No God = No Moral Compass and everything is permissible
Thank you so much Paul for sharing, a solid speech!
When i die I have nothing to lose if God, heaven and hell not exist but for those who dont believe, what if there are...wise people are those who prepared...
This is so valuable!
جزاك الله خيرا
Very Important Topic for Modern Society those are Secular... And Those who are Religious
I love this sir in the sake of Allah
I am very happy when I hear all this beautiful knowledge
ما شاء الله
Brilliant, thanks brother Paul for such an intellectual beauty!!!
Whenever atheists say that why does God Allow bad things like wars and r*pe and stuff this verse comes to my mind.
"Remember when your Lord said to the angels, "1 am going to place a successive "human" authority on earth." They asked "Allah", "Will You place in it someone who will spread corruption there and shed blood while we glorify Your praises and proclaim Your holiness?" Allah responded, "I know what you do not know." Qur'an 2:30.
They are not the first one Question this. The Angels asked this question to Allah himself.
And if one reads the following verses the Allah gives the answer to the Angels..
Bad people do bad things.
Atheists: Therefore God doesn't exist..
Best ever argument against Atheism. 👍
Thanks Paul for showing very beautiful and amazing video.
Glad you enjoyed it
I think "who creates God" is a flawed question to begin with.
It assumes that God is subjected to the same law that govern the universe; i.e causality.
But really we have no basis to think why, if universe was purposely created, the Creator must be subjected to the same law that the Creator himself created?
Remember, the reason human ask "what causes what" to begin with is because everything we observe within the universe operate like that. But theres no reason to think it should be applied to the Being that Creates it.
The nonbelievers have disease in their hearts so Allah swt increased it so their spiritual eye is totally shut
Always a pleasure to listen to dr Atai
This is the perfect time to focus on this topic as the world seem so unbalanced.
To avoid the numerous interruptions requiring interaction with the commercials, you can watch the same lecture posted two weeks ago on the MCC East Bay channel.
Brilliant. Thank you and God bless you.
Our existence proves existence of God.
Thank you for your lecture dr ataie
Thanks for the Arabic translation , الترجمة العربية 👍
Quran is the only book that claims God as it’s author but when Richard Dawkins was asked about the Quran he said he had no time to read it. Isn’t this illogical.
Thanks brother Paul for this video of my most favourite of your guests👍 I think that the moral approach to the question of 'Does God exist?' is nonsensical because ontological conclusions aren't proven or disproven according to their ethical implications, in other words: things don't come into being and get out of it according to how good or bad they are, there's a lot of immoral, evil and harmful stuff in the world yet they're all real. So in order to answer the aforementioned question we should search for evidence of God's existence, the topic of whether God wants us to love or hate each other is irrelevant.
it's a bad week to be sam harris, more than usual I mean, he just lost what remains of his credibility this week when he openly admitted in a podcast that he's perfectly happy to lie, cheat and/or bury the truth as long as it helps his political party. When the incredulous hosts gave him a chance to get out of the hole he was digging, harris went and got a bigger shovel instead.
shoutout to the middle nation channel for also absolutely dismantling harris and the evangelical atheists.
Which podcast was this?

I see Dr. Ali Ataie, I click!
Incredible lecture! I very much loved this.
I love everything you and Dr ali ataie do, just amazing!!
Small point, Allister Crowley mentioned in context of john Lennon being a Satanist? because of the cover of the beetles album
Allister Crowley was not the founder of the church of satan that was anton levey...they both look similar and were very involved in occultism and magic but are different.
Thank you for your videos always informative 👍🏻
Ive got to say, when i got recommended that video where you said you would be converting to islam i was surprised,and the only thing i can say is takbir!
Thank you very much for sharing this
My biggest takeaway from the video;
"The only way to avoid infinite regress is to go metaphysical, is to go supernatural and to go theological."
I think "who creates God" is a flawed question to begin with.
It assumes that God is subjected to the same law that govern the universe; i.e causality.
But really we have no basis to think why, if universe was purposely created, the Creator must be subjected to the same law that the Creator himself created?
Remember, the reason human ask "what causes what" to begin with is because everything we observes within the universe operate like that. But theres no reason to think it should be applied to the Being that Creates it.
