this channel is so good :) I found it thanks to abdallah sameer. This interview of Imtiaz Shams was necessary. When he was on ex muslims of america's board, he was brillant too but he had less time to express his mind. Ex muslim from France :D
Love Imtiaz

@@AhmadAli-dh3hk Dude .. don't paste links to dumb moronic videos as if they prove something. They don't.
Sadly, many exMuslims leave Islam and become atheists because the Qur'an (QS 29:46) made them believe that Allah of the Qur’an and the true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exodus 3:15) are one and the same God. Yet that is far from the truth (and it can easily be proven). It's the biggest case of the theft of identity of God the world has ever seen. Whether one remains Muslim or becomes an exMuslim atheist, it is a win-win for Satan either way. Why?
1. Remaining Muslim is a win for Satan because if you are Muslim, you are in worship of a false god (IDOLATRY) and a victim of Islam really. Unfortunately Muslims aren't aware that Allah is disguised as the god of light and righteousness. He is disguised as the true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob which explains why Allah of the Qur’an speaks AGAINST Satan: to deceive Muslims into thinking that Allah therefore cannot be Satan. It's a cheap trick actually and Muslims fall for it.
2. If you leave Islam and become atheist, Satan is happy still because you have left him but you still lose your salvation by cutting yourself off from the true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The true God does not desires that men perish but desires that ALL men be saved and inherent eternal life
But thanks to God, many exMuslims are able to see through the deception so that when they denounce the 7th century Allah, they embrace the true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
It's great to have a curious mind. Learning and enlightenment are what helps us to progress
Hey Imtiaz we miss you on the exmuslims subreddit, please post there more often!

Hello fellow Bangladeshi Ex-muslim 👋. Proud of you.
The reality is very gray...If you want to find the true real God sincerely, follow two rules.Every single Hadith in islam that writes negative things about women were written by disbelievers 300 years after the prophet's death. Become chaste for 5 -10 years and then study the Koran. God will open the truth for you only if you are worthy enough for his heaven . For that you need to be pure hearted. Truth be told you will always hate Islam or maybe all religions as a matter of fact. Make your heart pure. Become absolutely chaste. Body and heart. Do not do any sin even by biblical laws. Do not watch any lewd films or have any sort of acts that makes you worship another human being. For example thinking of people or getting into sexual relationships with someone. Stay sinless for one or two years and I swear on my life that you will become a believer of God and maybe even Islam. I have seen people who I have shown a million pieces of evidence to get them into believing in God religion Islam or even Christianity or Judaism which also came from the same god of Abraham, but they all hated religion even more violently. Then I realized god doesn't want them to worship Him or call into Him because God only allows the free hearted and the sinless to believe in Him and come inside His religion. I promise you indeed you will become a believer if you become absolutely sinless. I challenge you to do it. And you know the funny part? Many many Muslims I personally know, my own neighbors and my college classmates left Islam and completely started a war against all Muslims and Islam despite growing up in a very religious environment and being Muslim all their lives. I was so scared I thought once what if I become like them all? Then I realized that they all started sinning ,
sexual relationships with partners worshipping their lovers ,illicit erotic films, masturbating etc. I literally took at least several dozen interviews of ex Muslims and I swear every one of them were involved in some kind of sin. Yes some Muslims sin too but maybe they forget or repent really sincerely or feel so guilty that somehow god still keeps them inside religion because of their remorse but these people were proud sinners and they all I mean every single one of them left god and His religion. And I think these people who are sexually active and still in islam are too dumb to obsess over sex. So please don't be upset at me and follow my challenge for one year to 5 years and come back and tell me if your heart is still the same. It’s not worth it to lose a true religion because of worshipping some lover. Every lover will take another lover the day you die. Why worship their body and leave religion. Why not try my challenge? You can fool everyone but never yourself or God. God only wants the purest heart to worship him and thus he makes everyone who is obsessed with selfish desire or lust or too much worshipping of other humans and too less love to leave the folds of his religion.
Freedom of speech is important
Imtiaz, you are a great character 🌹❤️
Wow his English is the best I've heard
😇education makes wonders
th-cam.com/video/3bBdhYEvI-8/w-d-xo.html
The only thing that we need to believe in is love. If you cannot love, then no amount of God can ever help you. Be free.
Thank you Imtiaz, you are amazing
Great video!
Hat's off to you for everything your doing, all the best for the future :-)
I'm impressed with this man's morality and commitment to the truth. Unfortunately, Most sincere and truth-seeking Muslims are also committed to reciting their Al-Fatiha, 5 times every day.
Our words are potent. What we say repeatedly to ourselves is more compelling than what someone else tells us.
This is why it’s almost impossible, to convince a devout praying Muslim, that the Prophet of Allah was flawed, or that God’s nature isn’t necessarily constrained into a singular entity.
What we repeatedly say to ourselves, regardless of its validity, becomes our truth and belief. If you're truly in search of the truth, then, first, be careful what you recite.
I enjoyed this clear, articulate story. As an ex Jehovah's Witness I saw many similarities but I was surprised to learn of the relative tolerance toward ex Muslims. Jehovah's Witnesses will avoid talking to an 'apostate' child, parent or friend forever.......forever.....And this because the aforementioned dares to disagree with the religious ideology.
@@aynaasif1766 I wish I knew the answer. Sometimes I think it may be better to allow elderly parents live in ignorance of your disbelief. Dumping cherished beliefs later in life is very difficult. A double life may keep your parents close and your own self-honesty intact.
@@aynaasif1766 Then you need to have a network of support arranged to watch out for you should circumstances become intolerable or even dangerous. You could perhaps make contact with a Humanist or atheist society in your country and they will give you a starting point. But your atheist brother may be your first point of contact. You will have to go under the radar and that will feel scary at first. I don't doubt that your parents are good people and wish the best for you but the nature of a totalitarian religion can make good people do thoughtless things.
As another ex-jehovah witness I can only agree with you
@@aynaasif1766 Perhaps you need to run away and live with your brother. Your mother's happiness is NOT your responsibility. She was brainwashed into Islam by her parents, not you. Your mother can choose to love you and your brother. She can choose to be happy, after you gain your freedom. If she chooses to be miserable, because you left Islam, that is her choice. This is your one and only life.
brave guy, wish you all the best
Lovely ♥️♥️
The ex-muslim movement needs to become popular and endorsed, so that people everywhere can enjoy freedom and have a happy life.
Get Hassan Radwan and Veedu Vidz
I've spoken to them both. Hope to get something sorted as soon as they're available.
TBH, I could not find the evidence based on it he decided to choose the way he was talking about.
As a Muslim, whenever I hear about ex-Muslims, there is one thing common they say it did not make sense later, but at first, it made. They rely on subjectivism and emotionalism, so I have never felt bad or had grave inclinations to kill them or make their lives worse. This is the choice they made after they might have made deliberate slogs in learning the version of truth that makes sense to them.
His arguments on slavery do not hold water because, at that time in wars, slaves were the collateral damage. Even later after the death of Prophet PBUH, the wars continued. There was no better way to deal with women and children or low-ranked men slaves to be given the rights that were possible at that time and era.
Thank you for reading.
I might be amiss; I am open to other notions; I am not a hauteur; I am not trying to bring eristic perspectives; I am just a pluviophile.

fascinating
I like your account about the rain. It sounds hilarlous that people could believe it wasn't just natural in the 21st century. It would fit well into such films as The Life of Brian except that it wasn't acting.
Can someone tell me the name of the person who broke the child's neck? Where can I find this story?
19:47 "Hadn't rained in Saudi Arabia for 10 years"!!!??? That's highly impossible even for a desert country.
Love these ex Muslims ❤. Would love to meet them all. I’m no religion. We have the same minds.
They could have caused it to rain by seeding the clouds with potassium iodide or salt released from aircraft.
You are right about Yod Hay Waw Shin Waw Ayin(YaHuWSHuWa). A somali offered me a koran and I told him I have the truth in my heart and rejected his offer. So he said " I told you what I believe, so you tell me what you believe." And I told him about The Father YaHuWaH and Son, YaHuSHuWa and when he repeated YaHuSHuWa, we heard a loud ovation and he even said it was angels and we saw a horizontal rainbow and a cardinal was flying across it and we both said it was a miracle. But he is still muslim. Even though the LOUD CLAPPING OVATION happened when the muslim somali said YaHuWSHuWa.
No one was around us when the loud ovation happened and he was looking behind me and I was looking behind him to see where the ovation came from because the sound of the ovation surrounded us and my heart was pounding in fear like what just happened?
No matter how much I've stalled THE INEVITABLE FUTURE TIMELINE, THE INEVITABLE FUTURE TIMELINE will come into fruition.
1. The sick children will be healed with utterrance of THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES, YAHUWSHUWA.
2. The heavens will open on Earth for all to witness as the angels will commune with the healed children as the children heal the sick and feed the poor in THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES, YAHUWSHUWA.
3. The multitudes all over the world will learn of YAHUWSHUWA. As that is the true Good News that will be preached and demonstrated for them to witness.
4. AT THAT POINT THOSE MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO CALLED UNTO YAHUWSHUWA TO FEED THE POOR AND HEAL THE SICK WILL KNOW THEY WILL NEVER DIE OR BE HURT DURING TRIBULATION.
5. THOSE HUMAN MULTITUDES WILL LOVE EVERYONE, EVEN THOSE WHO HATE THEM BECAUSE YAHUWSHUWA TAUGHT THEM THAT HIGHEST LEVEL OF LOVE WILL SHOW THAT YOU HAVE ARE SINCERE WHEN YOU CALL OUT TO YAHUWSHUWA. YOU WILL HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AND REALISE YOUR EXISTENCE WILL BE LOVE AND PARADISE.
6. THE ANGELS WILL SEPARATE THOSE WITH HATE IN THEIR HEARTS AND INTENTIONS OF VIOLENCE. AS THOSE WHO CALL UNTO YAHUWSHUWA WILL NEVER DO VIOLENCE EVER. SO THOSE WHO CHOSE TO FIGHT WILL BE DOING SIN.
7.THANKFULLY EARTH WILL BE CHANGED TO HEAVEN EVEN BEFORE THAT PROCESS, WE WILL BE WAITING AS OUR BODY PERMEATES WITH THE BEST FEELING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLING WITHIN US.
I FORGOT TO MENTION PEOPLE WILL BE RAISED FROM THE DEAD IN YAHUWSHUWA'S NAME AS THE SICK IS HEALED AND POOR BEING FED HAPPENS....
you are hardly a intelligent yourself
Keep the fire burning dear brother ❤
Intelligent bloke - Imtiaz is brilliant.
But Crap format.
It would have been much better with two camera angles switching between the interviewer and Imtiaz - with the interviewer actually asking him the questions.
You are fascinating
One thing Iv learnt is to seek knowledge in a methodical way. Many people do not have a clue what they are doing and how to go about in the correct manner. It’s important not to drift from left to right. In Islam there is no room for doubts. Muslims are advised to seek knowledge. It’s advised not to entertain a doubt or anything which harms the belief/creed. Something may not make sense first, but after continuing learning it will in the long run (FYI not all things can be rationale).
Many people have their own agenda in which they call to. However, people do not have time to seek knowledge methodically and they persist in going into philosophy, science theories, etc. There is a system which needs to adhered to and once that system isn’t followed there will be a problem. Many people do not entertain negativity which is good, but they go beyond and close all doors. Many orientalists and disbelievers do not actually study islam in a methodical way or even the common muslim. They know that once they are engrossed in a methodical way they will have trouble on a emotional level and be hesitant in accepting the truth (الله guides whom be wills). Atheism has been refuted. Also, other agenda’s that tries to refute Islam have been refuted too. What is left?.
The more knowledge you adapt the better (Islamic knowledge in a methodical way). Emotions are natural but other emotions can be stopped by seeking knowledge in a methodical way. No right and left. Unfortunately no one teachers islam in a methodical way. This knowledge is scarce and people have deviated from the true path.
The best source of knowledge is Islam. It is what الله says, his messenger says and what the companions said. This is knowledge. It’s natural to feel insecure if you left knowlede.
Modern science is not against Islam & is no match for the religion of الله. Anything we want to know about we want to find out immediately without studying in a methodical way. It’s wrong and that’s why the deviants have been able to call people to their agendas. Not everything is subjective. It can be both subjective and the truth. Or subjective and false. For example, a police investigation needs to be conducted in a methodical way. If the police insinuates that a particular person is a culprit without evidence or their own agenda then this won’t be a successful operation. We must seek knowledge how the scholars sought knowledge. There’s no need to go left and right and what the soul calls to. Philosophers are the biggest criminals. They are worse than atheists and the orientalists. Unfortunately many deviant people are portraying the wrong understanding of Islam. Sometimes we feel good emotionally because others are doing it, but emotions is a feeling. Scientist even cannot figure out feelings and why we feel in a certain way sometimes. Yes, we take what is factual and apparent, but there’s so much to learn for ourselves.
Also, we get influenced. When we live in a particular place or have social group that advocate secular knowledge or Islam we can get influenced. Some people will say you got brainwashed because of continuing to study. It’s vice versa.
Many things are factual due to nature and evidence based factors. However, other things are not classified as factual because either, it hasn’t been put to the test, or there’s a personal agenda driving it away. Which is why it’s been made redundant.
There are so many mysteries that need to unraveled.
There is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that prophet Mohammad(peace be upon him) was a prophet and messenger . It’s hard to refute that, just like as hard neo Darwin’s will claim about evolution.
Unfortunately, Most sincere and truth-seeking Muslims are also committed to reciting their Al-Fatiha, 5 times every day.
Our words are potent. What we say repeatedly to ourselves is more compelling than what someone else tells us.
This is why it’s almost impossible, to convince a devout praying Muslim, that Prophet of Allah was flawed, or that God’s nature isn’t necessarily constrained into a singular entity.

@ Jonathan
You are correct. Who can forget the following
When the believer enters Paradise he is welcomed by one of these beings; a large number of them are at his disposal; he cohabits with each of them as often as he has fasted days in Ramadan and as often as he has performed good works besides. Yet they remain always virgins.
Surah 78:31-33: “As for the righteous, they shall surely triumph. Theirs shall be gardens and vineyards, and high-bosomed virgins for companions.” (Dawood)
The great Islamic scholar, Ibn Kathir, comments on the meaning of “Kawa`ib” in Surah 78:33:
(And vineyards, and Kawa`ib Atrab,) meaning, wide-eyed maidens with fully developed breasts. Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and others have said, (Kawa`ib) “This means round breasts. They meant by this that the breasts of these girls will be fully rounded and not sagging, because they will be virgins, equal in age. This means that they will only have one age.” The explanation of this has already been mentioned in Surat Al-Waqi`ah.
True hence why they are addicted talking about it and always call to their agenda.
This boy was a child
Of righteous parents and that he was going to be aggressive against his parents and god replaces one boy that was better towards the parents
Killing one (especially a child) for a 'crime' they haven't committed is completely immoral. Ther's no evidence that they knew of his future actions either. Why can't that just be a lie to form some kind of sick justification towards a murder?
Muslims do not believe the Kabah to be a representation of God. We never have and never will. The Kabah is the direction we face when praying as we face towards the Qibla. We don't worship the Kabah nor do we consider it to be a representation of God but only as a point of direction. The Kabah is a creation of God.
Creations of God is all the world, all humanity and animals and all nature.
All I feel after watching this video is pity for this guy . He is so confused and doesn't understand islam clearly . Anyhow I pray that he turns back to Allah SWT . You saying you have no clues as to whether God exists or not just shows that you have blinders on your eyes . Have you looked inside ? Have you looked at the sky? HAVE YOU SEEN THE TREES . I MEAN JUST LOOK AT THE SIGNS. how much more clear do you need them to be . It is baffling to me how you can not see God when he is everywhere in everything u see and hear etc. The complexities of everything . He intricate patterns. The colors . And ps abt the jinn. Lol man u ain't experienced stuff so u just disbelieve .
And after reading your comment, I can feel only pity for you..... a grown man believing in the jinn???? Come on, you could at least believe in Santa Claus and get gifts on Christmas. Santa gave me an Atari 2600 when I was a child..... what did the Jinn ever give you????
@@jaycristoval6155 lol thats funny 😄
@@jaycristoval6155 :p I don't need anything from the jinn. I believe in Allah Swt and He gives me all the time Alhamdulilah. I can't even begin to count what I've received from God . I'm blessed Alhamdulilah. With regard to jinn, there are good and bad jinn just like good and bad people . I've experienced a couple of what you'd call paranormal events . Even if id not experienced them id still believe they exist just cuz allah said so in quran . Also why can't you believe in something you can't see ? Teh day and age we live in , the technologies we use, if we were to be told of those in like 500 bc, as people we couldn't have fathomed them or would have ridiculed the person telling us of them for our minds could not have comprehended. Now its pretty easy to sling mud on each others opinions just through our fingers, even though teh other person may be a thousand miles away ;) # internet
Yougle 101. Once you reason your way out of religion, there is not turning back. Are you actually listening to what his experience has been? Obviously not. You're too busy listening to the voice in your own head.
@@jaycristoval6155 ahahah bro you need to do some research Islam makes the most sense of the universe, all scientific claims that people use against Islam are often used IN Islam along with other scientifically unexplainable things, light is not matter, yet you can interact with it, how does that make sense?
Imtiaz _ How does human came to existence? Did you create yourself? This alone is enough to believe there is a God. You said a lot of stuff and at the-same time really said nothing. You're reasoning a based on what you perceive as inconsistencies in religious books. It says nothing on why God does not exist.
How do you know who's God creates human? Hindu's God?, Christian God? Your God Allah? Jewish God? so on and so on...In this case "I don't know", could be the right answer because apart from the theory of evolution, nobody really knows for certain how human being came into existence. The nonsense go on besides the existence of mankind, your religion also claims that your God creates heaven and hell located may be in the sky and many other ridiculous claims.
@@yusofahmad50 here's where u need research, so of course you dont know which god, but as you see, this guys point is, from basic observations he can say his exists, now to find which god, you look closely at the religions, the things they say, how they present themselves and the YOU choose which religion makes most sense to everything. You see, I was born into Islam, but thats not why I'm a Muslim, there have been many times where I have doubted the existence of god, but Islam makes so much sense, i5 gives reasoning behind everything, it has predicted the future, and alot of the things it says have been scientifically proven, hence why I personally have chosen islam
@@yusofahmad50 also you say ridiculous claims, but listen, how can hell and heaven be ridiculous if god exists?? If science said the universe is practically infinite, why can't there be space for other things? Maybe its not made of matter? It never said heaven and hell have infinite space in the Qur'an either, meaning it could fit into our infinite universe either way
