What's new

Inspiring recitation in prison cell

Yes I did. It was a deep one. Unfortunately many religious establishments still disagree with Ibn Rushed taking the way of Imam Ghazali ''shoving down the throat''. Its that way or the highway if you know what I mean. Those establishment need to be dissolved by by the hook or by the crook.

Human history; prophets and all show us one thing
i.e that the greatest change were never brought about hook or crook.

The greatest change was brought upon by reason.

That is what God does in his books; that was what his prophets have done.
That is what Rushd wanted to do.

Let me give you an example " Dajjal will be the one, who will travel the world on a donkey; from whose tail smoke will emit "
That is a given prediction.

Now, in this day and age, if one is expecting a real donkey to act like a jet engine and circle the globe !
Well then sure Dajjal will be a big guy, blind in one eye and blah blah blah.

But if one is intelligent enough to get the symbolism used in the Hadith, then one must think harder to identify Dajjal.

I don't know man. I believe this new generation is it. All my scholars in Palestine when I lived there would mention this as well. Remember that the change we're expecting is going to come very un-expectendly.

We won't have a period of glorious days initiated by us anymore. This is the lowest point of the Muslim world. It can only change in the future.


You should read the debate and you will get what point we Muslims need to reach.

Amazing debate. Its only an introduction not the whole debate. If you wanna go in details read the book ''The Incoherence of the Philosophers''

I've stopped watching tragic videos for quite awhile. I think I'm full. But from the comments. I wish I could help him, he should be given a nationality by any of well Muslim countries.

True but how big is the room for reasoning. We need educational revolution based on collective efforts not an individual one.

@Arabian Legend

I am all for Islamic philosophy. We do have it. But, what is this man trying to get to? Discovering unknown nature of God? Or studying what we know of him and trying to explain it in a human perspective?

Because, it is already established that God is mysterious in many ways. We can't do anything about it. Except expand on what we already have.

Get here you and read the link that @Arabian Legend shared.
I read it, the guy is in prison and his voice of reciting Quraan is good. I get it. I thought of how badly Muslim countries treat Muslims from other countries. Western world is much more humane than us in this even on our own kind.

Ah ..
God has engineered our brains to respond to reason.
We are born with this capability.
It is upto the scholar to reach into our brain and cause that instinct to floruish.

Are we born with a moral core? The Baby Lab says 'yes' - CNN.com

I had a documentary on this subject, with the experiments and all .. will try to find it.

It is worth mentioning here,

Moses prayed to God, to relieve his tongue and to appoint Arron a prophet; for Arron was very good with words.
Eloquence and eloquent speakers is what we have been short of.

Sounds like a good deal.

Are you aware that Pakistan does have a lot of Rohinga Muslims who call us home?

For this particular one, i think there is a place in Pakistan. What a waste it is to see him locked up. May Allah swt help him in this detrimental state.
