@@charlievaughan1308 why would it be peaceful,have atheists and agnostics never caused wars and destruction??people need to respect and understand differences,faith is not the problem,also as for proof,look at what islam can prevent from taking place if followed correctly,issues caused by alcohol,promiscuity,racism etc would be eradicated,despite the prevention if offences are committed then there is law and order to deal with it,look at the scriptures,which is the most authentic and true,taken from the original sources,what type of society did it establish and maintain,be truthful and you will only come to islam,regardless of hate truth always prevails
They who have ears to hear, let them hear: Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit! I tell ye, truly, Jesus of Nazareth is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. He is the anointed one, for he is, Jesus Christ. God the Father has raised him from the dead; who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God! Angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by him. They who believe and are baptized with the Holy Spirit shall be saved; but they who believe not shall be damned. For they who believe not on him, shall die in their sins! I tell ye now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father! There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you! They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God... Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask: "Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen." 1 John 2:2 KJV 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Acts 13:26-33 KJV 26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, *and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.* 27 *For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.* 28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. 29 *And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.* 30 *But God raised him from the dead:* 31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people. 32 *And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,* 33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. 1 Peter 3:22 KJV 22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. John 14:6 KJV 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Mark 16:16 KJV 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. John 8:24 KJV 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. Acts 2:38 KJV 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Luke 11:13 KJV 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? John 14:21-24 KJV 21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.* 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.* 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*
As a Qatari/Algerian Muslim living now in the West, I must profess my immense gratitude to Sheikh Asrar Rashid for this masterpiece and many of his other brilliant works and endeavours, that have helped me combat my doubts over the years and have made me firm upon my beliefs in Islam, and in particular the orthodox Sunni tradition. Sheikh Asrar is an absolutely underrated scholar and treasure to the muslims living here in the West - I ask Allah to bless him, give him a long life and assist him in his many services to the Ummah. Thank you Sir Paul Williams, I am a regular viewer of your channel and I was absolutely delighted to see a discussion with the honourable Sheikh. اللهم احفظه واعزه ووفقه لما فيه صلاح البلاد والعباد! ❤️
I think sheikh al bouti my Allah forgive him was a good cheikh who was challenging atheism in a good matter. The tradition Islam scholars made many good books in responding to these issues. I think ashaari and maturidi creed is a must in noadays

I am proud that Allah swt have given us such intellectual scholars who can help all of us in understanding islam and you are just restricting him to ahlu sunnah sect.

The channel should have Shaykh Asrar on a regular basis as he is arguably the most rounded scholar in the UK. Very few marry being classically trained with deep insights into modernist challenges. You often have one or the other but seldom an amalgamation.

There are 2 important individuals that I would like to meet in person: Bart D Erhman and Paul Williams…. Imagine the privilege, the honor, the experience? Wow! It’s mind blowing! I have so much respect 🫡 for Paul Williams, his videos have provided much needed information. As an Ex Evangelical Pastor, now a Muslim Revert, Mr. Williams suggestions on books 📚 have been the proper way to deprogrammed my brain 🧠 from all the misconceptions and errors I picked up during my fundamentalist days. Thank You 🙏 so Much Mr. Williams for all of your hard work and dedicated hours to unpacking the most difficult of academic information into a simplified form for us lay people.
It would be amazing if Shaykh Asrar Rashid became a regualr on the show like the likes of Dr Ali Ataie. He also has another book called Navigating The End Times
I got this book yesterday from a local shop, and it certainly is readable. The good thing is that it keeps the reader interested and anticipating. As again, Paul did a fantastic job in interviewing the Sheikh, and I liked this face to face interviewing with a beautiful background. Very intellectual and interesting discussion. JazakAllah o khair Paul and others involved.
It's supposed to be answering atheism? So, does it present any evidence that his god is actually real? Because that's why _I'm_ an atheist. I have yet to see even *one* piece of good evidence, specific enough and in enough detail that I can judge it for myself, that _any_ god is real and _any_ religion is actually true. But maybe you're not that far in the book yet? Well, please reply when you get to a part with evidence. Thanks!
@Bill Garthright 6. Surely for those who have disbelieved, it is all the same whether you warn them or you warn them not: they do not believe. 7. Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing; and on their eyes there is a covering, and for them awaits a mighty punishment 17. Their situation is like that of a man who kindles a fire, and when it illuminates everything around him, Allah takes away their lights and leaves them in layers of darkness, so that they see nothing. 18. Deaf, dumb and blind, they shall not return (Surah Baqarah) I think this reply is enough for you from The Quran. The evidence is all around me, and I don't need any proof for Allah's existence. No matter what evidence is produced to you lot, you will not believe because of your arrogance. So let's move on.. to you your beliefs and to me is my faith.
@@01TheAhad So,... _nothing,_ then? Not even *one* piece of good evidence? Why is *one* always too much to ask? Well, that's why I can't take your religious beliefs seriously. If it's not just wishful-thinking, it's certainly _indistinguishable_ from wishful-thinking. And I care about the truth. I _care_ about the _truth._ I ask for evidence, because evidence is how we distinguish reality from delusion and wishful-thinking. But hey, if you just want to believe what you were taught to believe as a child, because it makes you feel good, that's entirely up to you. Wishful-thinking isn't enough for _me,_ but we're all different, huh?
@@Bill_Garthright what do you want??a passport photo??look around evidence all around you??sun moon stars trees etc you yourself a complex machine,cannot be by accident,research and study and you will come to the inevitable conclusion
@@Lindaeditz8 _what do you want??_ I'm asking for _something_ distinguishable from delusion and wishful-thinking that points to your god, rather than to some natural explanation (known or unknown). _look around evidence all around you??sun moon stars trees_ Nope. The sun, moon, stars, and trees are evidence that the sun, moon, stars, and trees exist. They're not evidence of _how_ they exist. They're certainly not evidence of a god. Indeed, as far as I can tell, those things all seem to be perfectly natural. Why would a tree require magic? _you yourself a complex machine,cannot be by accident_ I'm not sure what you mean by "accident," exactly. I certainly don't seem to be _planned,_ if that's what you mean. But it's not a matter of just throwing a bunch of atoms into a box and shaking the box, either. I appear to have resulted from natural processes. Again, as far as I can tell, human beings - like the sun, moon, stars, and trees - are perfectly natural. Why would you think otherwise? Do you have any *evidence* of that, or is that just what you were taught to believe as a child? _research and study and you will come to the inevitable conclusion_ I did. I came to the inevitable conclusion that religion is just based on superstition and wishful-thinking. However, I _could_ be wrong - about _anything,_ not just gods. So my "conclusions" are always tentative. Show me I'm wrong and I'll change my mind. But it's going to take actual _evidence,_ not just vague claims.
Mashallah Sheikh Asrar is a true inheritor of the Sunni Kalam tradition. His book is unprecedented in the English language. My only issue with the interview is that it was not longer! Please have the Sheikh on again perhaps discussing other important topics.
Hope you can do another interview for his 2nd book. This interview was amazing, great summary of first few chapters, would of been great if could cover last chapter regarding Shariah law as it answers many of questions Atheists have about Shariah Law. Definitely worth a read!
Things are that are not covered are that attributes of god like morality and desire to create aren't necessary, they are arbitrary. The problem of evil also remains unsolved because free will can only do exactly what god determined it will do because determinism is inescapable.
Being a big admirer of shaikh Asrar Rashid and being a big fan of you brother Paul good to see both of you together, very knowledgeable and informative session Please don't stop here arrange more sessions with shaikh cover the whole book chapter by chapter May Allah have mercy on us. Aameen
Ok so this is where that hadith from the last post doesn't make sense to me. To me this comment is a flattering comment. Not that there's anything wrong with the comment. I just struggle to understand the hadith that was posted in light of complimentary comments . Maybe brother Paul can get someone on to clarify that hadith so that it is understood correctly

This interview is an excellent prologue to the book where the author, Shaykh Asrar Rashid, very eloquently addresses the common fallacies and straw-man arguments posed by atheistic objectors. Any non-muslim with some wisdom and an ounce of rationale will be able to appreciate that Islam exclusively eradicates any doubt in the belief of a creator. I believe the book is the first of its kind on the subject. It should be purchased without hesitation.
Until you take a look at the arbitrary properties god is claimed to have and have no reason to exist over alternatives. Why that moral code? Why the desire to create? Why would he prefer muslims over christians or jews? No reason, each religion has the version of god that fits their needs.
Mashallah! Amazing and a very comprehensive response to atheism for english speakers. You should interview another scholar from ahl as-sunnah wal jammah Shiekh ibrahim osi efa who resides in liverpool.
Alhamdulilah wa rabbil Al Amin. Masha Allah, Shaykh Asrar is my favorite scholar ☺️ A very rational, pious, and scholarly alim. May Allah (swt) reward your efforts to increase our knowledge and understanding
Excellent discussion, thank you once again Brother Paul. May Allah give you a long and healthy life so you can continue to help increase our awareness and knowledge. You seem to have lost an incredible amount of weight, may Allah bless you with the best of health.
Amazing video/blogging. Brilliant host who speaks with great manner and very well knowledgeable and understanding. Also very good speech and answers from Shaykh Asrar Rashid who has spent alot of his time researching and learning about the facts of Islam. This channel has done an excellent job by allowing the Shaykh to translate those questions/opinions and dissecting those points so its understood universally.
The Wahabi Najdi Psuedo Salafis shouldn’t be trolling Shaykh Asrar. The entire kalam argument was sophisticated by the Asharis. Secondly, its easy just saying shaykh asrar is ahl albidah yet none of you can substantiate these claims on his face. He doesn’t worship graves or call on the dead, that is your tabloid style propaganda against him. He takes the classical position of imam nawawi on zyara an d tawasuul and condemns the ghuluw of sufis, barelawis and others. He calls to the Quran and Sunnah and Ijma.
My brother, we are well aware of this. Still thank you for reminding them. Thing is these munafiqeen don't care. Their cult and their minds are made up. Funny enough 90+ percent of the Muslim population are Ashaa'ira. Their little saved-sect, najdi cult is less than 1-2% of the muslim population. They are literal jokes. No one takes them seriously. Let them seethe as they wish, some of us however like to benefit when we see something to benefit from.
@Juce wait isn't maturidi the majority being Asian and Indian subcontinent make up majority of the Muslim population as we see it today.

Keep saying wahhabi the derogatory term mate Keep your pure Ashari beliefs away from this video lad Get a hobby Your embarrassing yourself heavily on this platform “Najdi pusedo salafis” If I got £1 every time I heard that I would be a rich man
@@BWFAIZANSRD maturidis and Asharis are no way the majority of the Ummah, maybe the subcontinent but the Ummah no way Your telling me the 1 billion plus laymen are Ashari!??!(!?!
I love you for the sake of Allah brother Paul ❤️ Thank you for this excellent upload. May Allah weigh this heavy on your scales and may we unite in His blissful paradise by His grace 🤲
Mashallah, very well explained. This respected Imam has very good communication skills. It was very interesting to listen. I like the calm and relaxed conversation. It can't be boring, if the content is so interesting. Brother Paul is always so good prepared and guides the conversations in a pleasant way. Mashallah. May Allah reward you both a lot for your efforts. Amin.
Be it known: Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit! I tell ye, truly, Jesus of Nazareth is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. He is the anointed one, for he is, Jesus Christ. God the Father has raised him from the dead; who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God! Angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by him. They who believe and are baptized with the Holy Spirit shall be saved; but they who believe not shall be damned. For they who believe not on him, shall die in their sins! I tell ye now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father! There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you! They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God... Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask: "Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen." 1 John 2:2 KJV 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Acts 13:26-33 KJV 26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, *and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.* 27 *For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.* 28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. 29 *And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.* 30 *But God raised him from the dead:* 31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people. 32 *And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,* 33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. 1 Peter 3:22 KJV 22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. John 14:6 KJV 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Mark 16:16 KJV 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. John 8:24 KJV 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. Acts 2:38 KJV 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Luke 11:13 KJV 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? John 14:21-24 KJV 21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.* 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.* 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*
_Atheism is one of the reasons I believe in god_ Really? It's not that you were taught to believe in that god as a child, then? _the more I talk to atheists the more I believe_ I'm pretty much the opposite of that. The more I talk to theists, the more it seems that they have nothing but wishful-thinking backing up their beliefs. But I'm always willing to be shown otherwise, so if you have one piece of good evidence, specific enough and in enough detail that I can judge it for myself, that your god is real, rather than just imaginary, I'd love to hear it. Just *one,* please - for now, at least.
A beautiful program . Very informative . Very inclusive . I will buy his book. Life is meaningful in believing God , obeying God and obeying the Messenger ( S.A ) than not believing . About Judaism I saw a TH-cam video “ when did Judaism begin ? “ where a Jewish prof. Yonatan Adler stated that Judaism began right with the foundation of Synagogue around 150 years BCE. Thank you both for your hard work. God bless you.
Thank you for the great content br Paul. On these theological matters, a great Turkish scholar Said Nursi has written his magnus opus Risalei Nur, answering all different questions. He realized at the collapse of Ottoman empire that the most fundamental problem of Muslims is their ignorance on these foundational belief matters, especially under the attack of western ideologies like materialism. Colin Turner from Durham University studied Said Nursi's works and his contributions. It might be an interesting discussion in my humble opinion.
Amazing discussion , I really learned a lot from them BIG Thank you Paul for your Great and Noble Job you doing May Allah Grant you Janah Eternal Paradise>
This is a good video and is only 50 minutes long. I recommend all to watch it to clear doubts and misconceptions for all Muslims in the West. Six popular objections to religion/Islam are discussed and refuted in clear/concise manner by Shaykh Asrar Rashid. Maybe more ulema/scholars in the UK and West need to follow the lead of Shaykh Asrar Rashid in academically refuting the various ideologies that are closely linked to Atheism such as Feminism, Liberalism, Secularism, Utilitarianism and so forth. We are living in an age of idealogical warfare where there are agents/detractors that actively seek to attack all facets of Islam and take the soul of Islam away from the hearts and minds of the true believers of Allah.
Honestly, the fact we all know what we mean when we mention God or Allah... Or some type of all powerful deity, no one is truly unaware what we mean. I have never said I believe in God and someone responded with "... God? What is a God?" It's always "I don't believe in Him or I don't believe in the man in the sky or I don't believe in religion." That alone speaks volumes yet they don't really realize it. 'Cause we live in a secular society and there is a whole generation who were brought up without religion, yet the mental concept of a higher power is always naturally there. They just reject that which they intuitively know exists.

Excellent discourses.On a lighter note a few years ago on The Stephen Colbert Show the host asked Dr Krause tongue in cheek "So what book are you trying to sell now?" On point I think some Atheist scholars simply regurgitate similar arguments disguised with different terminology to sell more books!
have to give respect...the shaykh actually consumed poison in a debate with christians but the christians couldn't replicate. proved a point about faith with that action imo.
Subtitles added in English, Arabic, Turkish, Bangla, Malay, Urdu, Indonesian, and other European languages.
there's still some things here and there the subtitles don't get completely right but thanks!
Indonesian subtitles realy help a lot , thank you very much
@@charlievaughan1308 why would it be peaceful,have atheists and agnostics never caused wars and destruction??people need to respect and understand differences,faith is not the problem,also as for proof,look at what islam can prevent from taking place if followed correctly,issues caused by alcohol,promiscuity,racism etc would be eradicated,despite the prevention if offences are committed then there is law and order to deal with it,look at the scriptures,which is the most authentic and true,taken from the original sources,what type of society did it establish and maintain,be truthful and you will only come to islam,regardless of hate truth always prevails

As a Qatari/Algerian Muslim living now in the West, I must profess my immense gratitude to Sheikh Asrar Rashid for this masterpiece and many of his other brilliant works and endeavours, that have helped me combat my doubts over the years and have made me firm upon my beliefs in Islam, and in particular the orthodox Sunni tradition. Sheikh Asrar is an absolutely underrated scholar and treasure to the muslims living here in the West - I ask Allah to bless him, give him a long life and assist him in his many services to the Ummah. Thank you Sir Paul Williams, I am a regular viewer of your channel and I was absolutely delighted to see a discussion with the honourable Sheikh.
اللهم احفظه واعزه ووفقه لما فيه صلاح البلاد والعباد! ❤️
I think sheikh al bouti my Allah forgive him was a good cheikh who was challenging atheism in a good matter. The tradition Islam scholars made many good books in responding to these issues. I think ashaari and maturidi creed is a must in noadays

The channel should have Shaykh Asrar on a regular basis as he is arguably the most rounded scholar in the UK. Very few marry being classically trained with deep insights into modernist challenges. You often have one or the other but seldom an amalgamation.

It's supposed to be answering atheism? So, does it present any evidence that his god is actually real? Because that's why _I'm_ an atheist. I have yet to see even *one* piece of good evidence, specific enough and in enough detail that I can judge it for myself, that _any_ god is real and _any_ religion is actually true.
But maybe you're not that far in the book yet? Well, please reply when you get to a part with evidence. Thanks!
@Bill Garthright 6. Surely for those who have disbelieved, it is all the same whether you warn them or you warn them not: they do not believe.
7. Allah has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing; and on their eyes there is a covering, and for them awaits a mighty punishment
17. Their situation is like that of a man who kindles a fire, and when it illuminates everything around him, Allah takes away their lights and leaves them in layers of darkness, so that they see nothing.
18. Deaf, dumb and blind, they shall not return (Surah Baqarah)
I think this reply is enough for you from The Quran. The evidence is all around me, and I don't need any proof for Allah's existence. No matter what evidence is produced to you lot, you will not believe because of your arrogance. So let's move on.. to you your beliefs and to me is my faith.
@@01TheAhad
So,... _nothing,_ then? Not even *one* piece of good evidence? Why is *one* always too much to ask? Well, that's why I can't take your religious beliefs seriously. If it's not just wishful-thinking, it's certainly _indistinguishable_ from wishful-thinking.
And I care about the truth. I _care_ about the _truth._ I ask for evidence, because evidence is how we distinguish reality from delusion and wishful-thinking.
But hey, if you just want to believe what you were taught to believe as a child, because it makes you feel good, that's entirely up to you. Wishful-thinking isn't enough for _me,_ but we're all different, huh?
@@Bill_Garthright what do you want??a passport photo??look around evidence all around you??sun moon stars trees etc you yourself a complex machine,cannot be by accident,research and study and you will come to the inevitable conclusion
@@Lindaeditz8
_what do you want??_
I'm asking for _something_ distinguishable from delusion and wishful-thinking that points to your god, rather than to some natural explanation (known or unknown).
_look around evidence all around you??sun moon stars trees_
Nope. The sun, moon, stars, and trees are evidence that the sun, moon, stars, and trees exist. They're not evidence of _how_ they exist.
They're certainly not evidence of a god. Indeed, as far as I can tell, those things all seem to be perfectly natural. Why would a tree require magic?
_you yourself a complex machine,cannot be by accident_
I'm not sure what you mean by "accident," exactly. I certainly don't seem to be _planned,_ if that's what you mean. But it's not a matter of just throwing a bunch of atoms into a box and shaking the box, either. I appear to have resulted from natural processes.
Again, as far as I can tell, human beings - like the sun, moon, stars, and trees - are perfectly natural. Why would you think otherwise? Do you have any *evidence* of that, or is that just what you were taught to believe as a child?
_research and study and you will come to the inevitable conclusion_
I did. I came to the inevitable conclusion that religion is just based on superstition and wishful-thinking.
However, I _could_ be wrong - about _anything,_ not just gods. So my "conclusions" are always tentative. Show me I'm wrong and I'll change my mind. But it's going to take actual _evidence,_ not just vague claims.
Mashallah Sheikh Asrar is a true inheritor of the Sunni Kalam tradition. His book is unprecedented in the English language.
My only issue with the interview is that it was not longer! Please have the Sheikh on again perhaps discussing other important topics.
Thank you Usthad Williams and Shaykh Asrar Rashid.
Very interesting, informative and palatable!
Glad you liked it!
Hope you can do another interview for his 2nd book. This interview was amazing, great summary of first few chapters, would of been great if could cover last chapter regarding Shariah law as it answers many of questions Atheists have about Shariah Law. Definitely worth a read!
Things are that are not covered are that attributes of god like morality and desire to create aren't necessary, they are arbitrary. The problem of evil also remains unsolved because free will can only do exactly what god determined it will do because determinism is inescapable.
Being a big admirer of shaikh Asrar Rashid and being a big fan of you brother Paul good to see both of you together, very knowledgeable and informative session
Please don't stop here arrange more sessions with shaikh cover the whole book chapter by chapter
May Allah have mercy on us.
Aameen
Do you pray to the dead...

Amazing discussion! May Allāh guide people to the reality of His Oneness

No podcast on Blogging Theology has let me down( no disappointment), always proud of them, thank you, Paul.👍May Allah reward you and your guests!🤲🤲🤲🤲

moHamMadans could not prove al lah is ged.
Simple question,
Is the word of al lah a PURE LANGUAGE, that can cleanse man's soul?
Ok so this is where that hadith from the last post doesn't make sense to me. To me this comment is a flattering comment. Not that there's anything wrong with the comment. I just struggle to understand the hadith that was posted in light of complimentary comments . Maybe brother Paul can get someone on to clarify that hadith so that it is understood correctly
Let it be known to all:
Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit!
I tell ye, truly, Jesus of Nazareth is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. He is the anointed one, for he is, Jesus Christ. God the Father has raised him from the dead; who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God! Angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by him. They who believe and are baptized with the Holy Spirit shall be saved; but they who believe not shall be damned. For they who believe not on him, shall die in their sins!
I tell ye now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father!
There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you!
They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God...
Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask:
"Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen."
1 John 2:2 KJV
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Acts 13:26-33 KJV
26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, *and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.*
27 *For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.*
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 *And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.*
30 *But God raised him from the dead:*
31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
32 *And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,*
33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
1 Peter 3:22 KJV
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
John 14:6 KJV
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Mark 16:16 KJV
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
John 8:24 KJV
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Acts 2:38 KJV
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Luke 11:13 KJV
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
John 14:21-24 KJV
21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.*
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.*
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*
The Shaykh is brilliant. I love this discussion. Would love to procure the book.
Amazing show ma sha Allah
As a Non-Muslim, and an Ex-Trinitarian and ex-Atheist, I am interested in reading that 🙂
Then you should try Islam, that's the only thing your journey will lead to, hope you find the truth
You are at right place, paul williomson have gone through all. He can teach you more better
@@AmeerHamza-mi9sf I'm in to scholarship like Paul. 🙂 we have a lot in common.
You weren't a real atheist to begin with.
why ex ~atheist- have some points against atheism? asking to talk to my atheist friend.
This interview is an excellent prologue to the book where the author, Shaykh Asrar Rashid, very eloquently addresses the common fallacies and straw-man arguments posed by atheistic objectors. Any non-muslim with some wisdom and an ounce of rationale will be able to appreciate that Islam exclusively eradicates any doubt in the belief of a creator. I believe the book is the first of its kind on the subject. It should be purchased without hesitation.
Until you take a look at the arbitrary properties god is claimed to have and have no reason to exist over alternatives. Why that moral code? Why the desire to create? Why would he prefer muslims over christians or jews? No reason, each religion has the version of god that fits their needs.
Mashallah! Amazing and a very comprehensive response to atheism for english speakers.
You should interview another scholar from ahl as-sunnah wal jammah Shiekh ibrahim osi efa who resides in liverpool.
Alhamdulilah wa rabbil Al Amin. Masha Allah, Shaykh Asrar is my favorite scholar ☺️ A very rational, pious, and scholarly alim. May Allah (swt) reward your efforts to increase our knowledge and understanding
Masha'Allah. Much anticipated
Excellent discussion, thank you once again Brother Paul. May Allah give you a long and healthy life so you can continue to help increase our awareness and knowledge. You seem to have lost an incredible amount of weight, may Allah bless you with the best of health.
Amazing video/blogging. Brilliant host who speaks with great manner and very well knowledgeable and understanding. Also very good speech and answers from Shaykh Asrar Rashid who has spent alot of his time researching and learning about the facts of Islam. This channel has done an excellent job by allowing the Shaykh to translate those questions/opinions and dissecting those points so its understood universally.
The Wahabi Najdi Psuedo Salafis shouldn’t be trolling Shaykh Asrar. The entire kalam argument was sophisticated by the Asharis. Secondly, its easy just saying shaykh asrar is ahl albidah yet none of you can substantiate these claims on his face. He doesn’t worship graves or call on the dead, that is your tabloid style propaganda against him. He takes the classical position of imam nawawi on zyara an d tawasuul and condemns the ghuluw of sufis, barelawis and others. He calls to the Quran and Sunnah and Ijma.
What about the deobandi who launched a witch hunt against him? (See AllIslamProduction)
My brother, we are well aware of this. Still thank you for reminding them. Thing is these munafiqeen don't care. Their cult and their minds are made up. Funny enough 90+ percent of the Muslim population are Ashaa'ira.
Their little saved-sect, najdi cult is less than 1-2% of the muslim population. They are literal jokes.
No one takes them seriously. Let them seethe as they wish, some of us however like to benefit when we see something to benefit from.
@Juce wait isn't maturidi the majority being Asian and Indian subcontinent make up majority of the Muslim population as we see it today.
Indeed, the najdi pseudo salafiyyah don't even make 1%, they forget the chain of transmission and chain of Muslims going all the way back to Muhammad ﷺ are actually Ash'ari/Athari + Maturidi
Keep saying wahhabi the derogatory term mate
Keep your pure Ashari beliefs away from this video lad
Get a hobby
Your embarrassing yourself heavily on this platform
“Najdi pusedo salafis”
If I got £1 every time I heard that I would be a rich man
@@BWFAIZANSRD maturidis and Asharis are no way the majority of the Ummah, maybe the subcontinent but the Ummah no way

@@Call_Upon_YAH What makes you think that bible is a reliable source of information?
_Atheism is one of the reasons I believe in god_
Really? It's not that you were taught to believe in that god as a child, then?
_the more I talk to atheists the more I believe_
I'm pretty much the opposite of that. The more I talk to theists, the more it seems that they have nothing but wishful-thinking backing up their beliefs.
But I'm always willing to be shown otherwise, so if you have one piece of good evidence, specific enough and in enough detail that I can judge it for myself, that your god is real, rather than just imaginary, I'd love to hear it. Just *one,* please - for now, at least.

Excellently and articulately answered!
Wow brother I aul is In a habit of finding gems and introducing then to the mass media. Sheikh israr is is amazing in a multi dimensional ways
A beautiful program . Very informative . Very inclusive . I will buy his book.
Life is meaningful in believing God , obeying God and obeying the Messenger ( S.A ) than not believing .
About Judaism I saw a TH-cam video “ when did Judaism begin ? “ where a Jewish prof. Yonatan Adler stated that Judaism began right with the foundation of Synagogue around 150 years BCE.
Thank you both for your hard work. God bless you.
Great video Paul, very good points discussed!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the great content br Paul. On these theological matters, a great Turkish scholar Said Nursi has written his magnus opus Risalei Nur, answering all different questions. He realized at the collapse of Ottoman empire that the most fundamental problem of Muslims is their ignorance on these foundational belief matters, especially under the attack of western ideologies like materialism. Colin Turner from Durham University studied Said Nursi's works and his contributions. It might be an interesting discussion in my humble opinion.
I was looking forward to this, very interesting discussion, you have opened a great area to explore - Ash'ari thinking
This is such a good video! Thanks Paul! JazakAllah khair... and ofcourse thanks to the Shaikh...

Mash'Allah great discussion from two great people
Another fantastic presentation Paul, great content.
This is a good video and is only 50 minutes long. I recommend all to watch it to clear doubts and misconceptions for all Muslims in the West.
Six popular objections to religion/Islam are discussed and refuted in clear/concise manner by Shaykh Asrar Rashid.
Maybe more ulema/scholars in the UK and West need to follow the lead of Shaykh Asrar Rashid in academically refuting the various ideologies that are closely linked to Atheism such as Feminism, Liberalism, Secularism, Utilitarianism and so forth.
We are living in an age of idealogical warfare where there are agents/detractors that actively seek to attack all facets of Islam and take the soul of Islam away from the hearts and minds of the true believers of Allah.
JazakAllah ghairan for this insightful episode!
Good stuff Paul. JazakAllahu Khairan.
Alhamdulillah great stuff
Asalamualykum to both brothers..loved the Shaykh refutations to atheistic mindset ..JZK ..❄️😊
Every local imam should be like him. Great job.
Honestly, the fact we all know what we mean when we mention God or Allah... Or some type of all powerful deity, no one is truly unaware what we mean. I have never said I believe in God and someone responded with "... God? What is a God?" It's always "I don't believe in Him or I don't believe in the man in the sky or I don't believe in religion." That alone speaks volumes yet they don't really realize it. 'Cause we live in a secular society and there is a whole generation who were brought up without religion, yet the mental concept of a higher power is always naturally there. They just reject that which they intuitively know exists.
I hope you interview him about his book navigating the ends of time

Excellent discourses.On a lighter note a few years ago on The Stephen Colbert Show the host asked Dr Krause tongue in cheek "So what book are you trying to sell now?" On point I think some Atheist scholars simply regurgitate similar arguments disguised with different terminology to sell more books!
Ma sha Allah
Just Amazing !!!
Thanks for the French subtitle 👍
No problem 😊
have to give respect...the shaykh actually consumed poison in a debate with christians but the christians couldn't replicate. proved a point about faith with that action imo.

Mankind needs to allow their hearts to “taste” the existence of the Deity, which is not a level based solely on the intellect.
