3 Problems With the Da'wahsphere

[@Hashir198]

Okay! Awesome vid, but now i need to see a debate between abu ibrahim and a capitalist!

[@TT-1-t]

The Islamic Caliphate will come... with or without you. May Allah سبحانه وتعالي make us among his sincere servants whom he has chosen for this honorable duty.

[@al-kimiya6962]

This has been going on in my mind for quite sometime, I'm going to do that, Insha'Allah, just pray for me that Allah ﷻ brings me out of this trial that I'm currently going through.

بارك الله فيك Truly saying what needs to be said

[@Grandson_001]

We need to establish a think tank outside the influence of any particular government bodies or current political figures. But as the brother said below or above my comment, the decree of Allah will come wether we get it together or we don’t. We need Allah, Allah does not need us we should be hoping and praying that Allah will make us of help and use in his cause. We should strive in his way in our every though and intention. Allah is the best of planners.

[@NoorAfzaaa]

Good perspective. mashAllah. You know what you are saying and that is really important. 👍

[@SNMA5]

Dr. Mohamed Talal Lahlou's channel is a good channel to look at Islamic finance in contrast to today's failing systems

[@salmanbadr1271]

Thanks for the content. I agree with you. However, I would like to add some points: 1) It is not that simple to debate Islam vs capitalism or Islam vs socialism. That is because there are capitalistic ideas in Islam. God doesn't prohibit trade or to own property. 2) With regards to the nature of Islamic government, again that is more of a discussion rather than a debate. Many people argue for Islamic democracy. Is that even an oxymoron? 3) The entire issue with Jake and Daniel started because Daniel called for the end of sectarianism. This is a very charged issue. May Allah reward your efforts

[@AbuIbrahim-MM]

1) doesn’t Christianity share some rules/beliefs with Islam? Does that present an obstacle for them to be debated? 2) there are aspects of Islamic government that are open to debate and aspects that are not. That which is core to the idea of Islamic governance should be pitted against competing ideas of governance. Democracy, the idea that legislation is decided by the people, has nothing to do with Islam. Barak Allah feek for your comment

[@salmanbadr1271]

@AbuIbrahim-MM Jazakullah khairun for the reply. It is easier to debate Christianity because the opposing views are clear: Trinity vs Tawheed. With capitalism, it is unclear what are we actually debating, unless we set clear parameters, such as an interest based economy vs non interest based. Thanks again for taking the time to read and reply.

[@AbuIbrahim-MM]

@@salmanbadr1271 check out my video "message to right wing Muslims", where I address this very point. Short version: the opposing views are just as clear here, and they aren't in specific economic policies. It's a question of how do we decide policy in the first place. Islam says Allah is the only legislator, Capitalism says the people come together to legislate collectively in a democracy where basic freedoms are protected in a constitution =.

This is very interesting and am following to learn more iA. I would like to know how these oligarchal corporations would run under an Islamic system versus the current system. How would it fair, materially speaking, against a nation employing everything in the modern toolbox.

There was this one group that had an end goal of establishing Allah’s deen globally and came with a strategy on how to get there. Wonder what happened to them? 🤔

[@abdulrahmantijani2646]

Jzk khairan for the insightful video again 💯. I completely agree with your point that we should focus more on debating / arguing for Islam as a system against moral and political systems of today with non muslims. Though, from my little experience giving dawah, I have the following two questions regarding this: 1) How would one practically and effectively shift the focus of our discussions with say practicing christians who value and practice their faith in a secular lens from a discussion about islam vs christianity as religions to islam as the only possible alternative to the current world order we live in? 2) you gave the example above of how we can have debates about Islamic economic system vs the current Capitalist order. How would you respond to the point that we can have all the theory but in reality, this islamic economic system has not been tried and tested successfully in the modern world today, i.e. show me where this works. Connecting to this is that works on these system level topics in Islam i assume would be higher level reading or study relatively so do you think its practical for younger ppl (e.g. uni students) to be able to really present the case for them in their discussions with others

[@AbuIbrahim-MM]

Wa iyyakum 1) Debate the right opponents (i.e. those who represent the prevailing political philosophy of the world) and debate the right topics (instead of the veracity of this text vs. that text, debate what idea is better for the world) 2) This doesn't seem to stop communists, who do debate their systems (often quite successfully). In fact, debating a system must precede its implementation, otherwise why would people be convinced to implement it in the first place? Communism is even worse here because it has experienced _failed_ modern implementations, whereas Islam has really not been tried in the past 100+ years.

[@abu.aayah.v4219]

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Brother, this is the first video I've seen of yours and I appreciate the different perspective you bring and thought the video was well done. However, I disagree with you on some points and maybe need some clarification. You mentioned that the existence of God has never been the crux of what Islam is about. I disagree with that statement. As you know brother, the first pillar of Islam is the shahada. Islam at its core is about belief in Allah and His Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Second to belief, the next decisive issue is about actions, specifically good deeds. Thirdly, we are to advise others towards that true belief and those righteous actions as well as having the patience to bear things not going the way we want. This is mentioned very explicitly in Surah Al-Asr. Regardless of what topics modern societies find relevant, this is what we are called to do as Muslims. Within that framework, the most important thing is knowing about Allah (subhannahu wa ta'ala). Since this is the biggest difference between us and non-Muslims, this is where conversations usually start. Second to that is knowledge about the religion itself which was perfected by Allah. This includes the 5 pillars of Islam, the six pillars of Iman, and the meaning of ihsan. Thirdly, we must have knowledge of the Prophet (alayhi salatu wasalam). That should be our focus when discussing Islam and giving dawah. Establishing the Islamic state is second to establishing Islam. We as Muslims need to prioritize belief and righteous deeds first and foremost and Allah will make us the successors in the land. This is mentioned in Surah Al-Noor. How can we hope or expect non-Muslims to understand a different political and/or economic system without first establishing Islam? Remember that Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) spent over a decade in Mecca calling others to worship Allah alone and teaching tawhid and proper worship before an Islamic state was established after the hijrah. Overall though, I really enjoyed the video and hope to see more from you inshallah ta'ala. Jazakallahu khairan

[@AbuIbrahim-MM]

Wa'alaykum Assalam, Thank you for the comment. 1) the shahadah is not about the existence of God, it's about denying the existence/godship of any other entity. Pagan Arabs believed in the existence of Allah and the message of Islam affirmed that, but that was not the central message of Islam. 2) Yes, a conversation that starts with knowing Allah is good. But to whom, and in which context? Allah is our king. The West says every man is a king. Isn't this the debate worth having? 3) Establishing Islam, or iqamat al-deen, only means one thing. It means establishing the law and the culture in a state. This is when the tawheed of Allah is really accepted by a society, that they take Him as their only legislator. What you're describing is practicing Islam on an individual level. This is necessary to accomplish the task, yes. But we are not going to turn 2 billion Muslims into righteous people without a state. The da'wah carriers -- those who work to Establish Islam -- must reach that height you describe. They must be righteous in order to be an example to the people they preach to. And they are preaching Tawheed, the idea that Allah is our only creator and sovereign. This demands for his laws to be adopted exclusively in the state.

[@abu.aayah.v4219]

@ 1. The shahada is about the negation of worshipping anything else (false deities, money, people, drugs, etc.) as well as the affirmation the Allah exists and is worthy of worship. We live in a time where shirk might no longer commonly be worshipping statues and idols, but people absolutely worship money, political parties, or even themselves. 2. I agree with you on it being a debate worth having. It’s a very important point and I’m absolutely not disputing that. But I don’t know that having that discussion with common kuffar would be very beneficial. This would be a discussion we can have with anyone and everyone, but it might be more beneficial with Muslims and kuffar with some understanding. 3. I don’t disagree with your third point at all. The question though, is how do we get there? How do we go from 2 billion Muslims spread around the world, 57 “Muslim” countries with different political ideas, levels of power, alliances with the West, and more to becoming a unified Islamic State governed by sharia law under one khalifa?
