Brothers and sisters never forget our oppressed brothers and sisters in your dua and raise awareness for them specially the uyghur brothers and sisters. Our brothers in kashmir are also in great pain. Also pray for the wellbeing of our brothers and sisters in afghanistan. Remember dua is the biggest strength of a believer. Our beloved prophet(sm) said ,'‘Whoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he is unable to, then with his tongue; if he is unable, then with his heart - and that is the weakest of faith.’' Narrated by Muslim in his saheeh

A book I would recommend is "Muslim Christian Dialogues" by Dr Baagil. I came to know this book about 10 years ago when I read the story of a Korean American who converted to Islam. She mentioned that this book helped her to realize the corruption in Bible and to seek the truth and finally accept Islam

[@Dawah_Help]

JazakumAllah khairan for that recommendation, although one should shop around, as there are gargantuan variations in price.

[@anoopchalil9539]

Its a most awesome book..very small...but quite intresting...i keep it as a treasure.. When i was in saudi arabia My wife gave me that book.she got from her workplace... When i read...the feeling i got was un explained.. I answrd my evanjelist friend with that...its a nostalgia for me ...

[@dayan47]

May I strongly recommend to the followers of your channel the book by Emmon Duffy, published by Yale University Press in 1992 The Stripping of the Altars. . This 650 page book is not only an academic coverage of the subject of iconaclasm , it is a detailed historical analysis from primary sources of the differences in the practice of Christianity in 16th century England. The author is a self proclaimed Catholic , and it's therefore highly capable of relaying his subject most fairly. The Edwardian and Elizabethan ages could almost be described as forging a path to Islam, trinity not withstanding. Tawheed is the key here, and doing away with images and the priesthood i.e. sacraments, relics etc. is undeniably foundational. It is written in an academic style and would be most appreciated by those who have a background in basic European history and comparative religion.

[@Dawah_Help]

Jazakum Allah khairan my dear sister for that, always learning in sha Allah. I have a vague idea about Christian Orthodox iconoclasm & the Protestant Reformation including English Puritanism. However, I always tended to presume that Catholicism was the most paganised of European Christianities. Are you referring to the W.A.S.P. inclinations to return to a purer more pristine conception? The Osmanli Turks had a religiously (as well as presumably political) gravitation to the Protestant arc of liberation.

[@LirimK]

I have always wondered why prophet Muhammad (pbuh) rode a mule in battles instead of a horse until I knew that in those days it was an indicator of a possibility of peace if the leaders of enemy troops wanted it, in other words it was a way to tell the enemies: As a leader of the army I will accept settling the conflict politically instead of having a fight if you want to go for diplomacy.

The author of the final book (Shaykh Asrar) goes to mosques all over the country to deliver seminars relating to the book he wrote for the layman to understand the Atheistic worldview. A lot of doubts that the youth specifically have surrounding the existence of God is dealt with superbly within the book. For the average person, that book is amazing at tackling some of the Islamaphobic rhetoric that is aimed at the Sharia, the epistemology of Islam etc. I am pleasantly surprised to see that you have his book and recommended this to the viewers. The book is useful in building a foundation in understanding Atheism to an extent. May Allah increase us all in knowledge 😊.
