سوره المؤمنون ‏God says ‏:, Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?" ‏So exalted is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne. ‏And whoever invokes besides Allah another deity for which he has no proof - then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed . ‏And, [O Muhammad], say, "My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful." سوره الكهف ‏God says ‏Say, O Muhammad, do we inform you of the biggest losers in their deeds? ‏ [They are] those whose effort is wasted in worldly life, while they think they are doing a good job.” ‏ These are the ones who disbelieved in the verses of their Lord and in their meeting with Him, for their deeds have become invalid; We will not give them any importance on the Day of Resurrection. ‏ This is their reward - Hell - for what they deny and [because] they took My verses and My Messages in derision. ‏ Those who believe and do righteous deeds, the Gardens of Paradise will be their abode. ‏ where they stay forever. They will not want any transfer. ‏ Say, if the sea were ink [to write] the knowledge of my Lord, the sea would have run out before the knowledge of my Lord was exhausted, even if we brought the like of it complete. ‏ Say: I am only a man like you, and it was revealed to him that your God is one God, so whoever desires to meet his Lord, let him do good deeds and not join anyone in worshiping his Lord

[@dortoka]

I wanna say that I really appreciate how you as a European and non-Muslim have a very nuanced view of our faith. I feel like both Western academics and our own scholars possess view that rationalism, science, philosophy, etc are incompatible with religion, that Islam can only be one set of beliefs, and the Orthodoxy is infallible, even though for our entire history up this has never been the case Perhaps it is due to your European and non-Muslim upbringing. There was a man in the 20th century named Leopold Weiss aka Muhammad Asad, who was born a secular European Jew who later become a devout Muslim and scholar. When he visited Al-Azhar University, he noticed that the students would sit all day reciting and learning the works of great medieval theologians and philosophers to be taught Islamic law. However this was all they did, and were hardly allowed to become theologians and philosophers for themselves. Asad wondered why these students were being taught this way and could not get a decent answer from the people there. He wrote extensively about how crazy it was to say, in what was once the greatest places of thinking in the world, that only these specific medieval thinkers ideas were correct and that thinking in the modern era was heavily discouraged for seemingly no good reason. Though this problem still is an issue among many Muslims today, but I am glad many people like you, Muslim or not, are still able to see Islam for what it really is

[@selloutplayer]

Oh my God thank you for bringing up Leopold (Asad). Road to Mecca and his interpretation of the Quran (+ the very first english translation of sahih bukhari) are AMAZING. His translations are particularly niche because he 'felt' the language of arabic after spending a decade with bedouins. There's an immense difference between learning a language for scholastic reasons and learning a language's 'soul' which can primarily be achieved through experience.

[@selloutplayer]

Also this is also the reason why I like this channel. I would still trust a non muslim's interpretation more since the current muslim world largely propagates the same teachings without any independent thinking ( you'll be declared a heretic lol )

I have been searching for a video like this. As an Spaniard, I feel sad because we usually tend to reject, or to at least forget, what Al-Andalus meant for the whole country, and how it went to model our society. It is usually seen as something from 'abroad', and we do not really get to know much of it, and generally from a biased perspective. Of course, views might differ from mine, and other Spanish may have a different impression, but I really feel like we lost a lot when the Catholic Kings expeled all Muslims... They had no right to do so; they claimed being descendents from the Visigoths, and the Moors, invadors. But what were the Visigoths, if not the same? What were the Romans, then, who came before them, and thus the Carthanigians, the Celts, the Greeks, the Iberians, and all those who came before? Islam is seen today as a religion of hate, and that does not seem fair. And I myself am a convinced atheist, I would not change that for anything, but we should learn to see other cultures as having depth, different points of view within them, just like our societies. Spain was once half Muslim, and although we might tend to forget that part of our national history, at least in our language remain a notable amount of words from Arabic; ojalá que la albóndiga esté en la alhacena junto a la almohada.

Few people in the modern West realise that Thomas Aquinas' religious philosophy came directly from Ibn Rushd's reading and interpretation of Aristotle. Personally I don't like Aristotle but it amuses me and annoys me in equal measure how Aquinas is cited as a very important figure in the development of "Western thought" without understanding the role of Rushd and Islamic civilisation in that development. Ibn Rushd's attitude to women is heartening especially considering he was a student of Aristotle who had decidedly reactionary views on female emancipation. It is remarkable to think about the high level of philosophical debate that Rushd was engaged in Al Andalus at that time, especially if we contrast it to the limited intellectual life of the rest of Europe at the same period. Today people cite Oxford, Cambridge and Bologna as the first "European" universities without ever considering that of Cordoba, or the fact that those first educational institutions in Christendom were based on an Islamic model and filled (in terms of the curriculum) with Islamic learning.

[@imanmouhab5407]

Nice video and quite informative. However I personally find the clash of thoughts and ideas between Ibn Sina and Ibn Rushd (averrose) very refreshing and interesting. The fact that their attitudes towards each other with all that passionate scientific responses ( regardless if we do agree with both of them on every single detail of their philosophy or not) prove that they had no respect to the status quo when it comes to delivering real knowledge and a solid scientific ground” from their perspective” to their followers, students, and all those who have been influencing down the road.It is something in history we don’t get to see a lot. Especially people of their caliber just being fiercely passionate to that awesome meaningful philosophy without caring that it might just provoke a counter attack on their side that might affect their credentials, or taint their reputation but nope they just didn’t care. Which give us a hint to what they were actually loyal toward representing and what side of success they stood for, True and integral science. actually they gave mankind their best and with no fear of risking their fame and that frankly worked as a brainstorming sessions for intellectuals throughout history. And that all what it matters

[@RamiTeen]

Ah you just had to put Al-Ghazali and Ibn Rushd next to each other, I am sure they appreciate the company :). Great Minds, very different outlook and perspective. Fascinating!

[@QabilAGhor]

Al-Ghazali has actually turned out to be correct. Early in the twentieth century, the anti-philosophy philosophers finally buried philosophy by acknowledging, like al-Ghazali, that problems of philosophy are actually problems of language, and language by itself cannot unlock mysteries of nature or reality. Science was made the only criterion to ascertain the veracity of facts or fiction. And, thus, philosophy died. This is why you don't hear about new philosophers coming to light. Philosophy we read today are simply ruminations of the past.

@@ConsiderThis12 ahahahah there was no such thing as "sunni" when jaffar al sadiq was alive. "sunni" came about 150 year after he died. even the 4 school of the sunnis didnt know what "sunnism" is. you wont find 1 statement of abu haneefa, of imam malik etc saying "im sunni'. but you will find hundreds of sahaba saying "im shia". Jaffar al sadiq was oppressed by the Abasids because he was a shia, not only that, but even when al-Shafi'i praised him, they started calling Al shafi'i a Rafidi. which clearly shows that everyone who followed Imam jaffar al sadiq, were Shias. and those around them who hated them called them rafidah.

[@mikewallice2795]

@@sayfali2490 false. Jaafar Al Sadiq certainly not Shia. Why? Because its well known Shia dont accept and reject the Sahabi and their descendants, yet you glorified Jaafar Al Sadiq, the great great grandson of Sayidina Abu Bakr As Sadiq. Shia denounced the Sahabi. Yet In Tarikh Al Islami, it is said "Muhammad bin Fudhail told from Salim bin Abu Hafshah, I asked Abu Ja`far and his son Ja`far about Abu Bakr and Umar. So he said, "O Salim, love both of them and do not be with their enemies because both of them are imam of huda." Then Ja`far said, `O Salim, is there anyone who denounces his grandfather? Abu Bakr is my grandfather. I will not get the syafa'ah of Muhammad Sallallahu `alaihi wasallam on the Day of Judgment if I do not love both of them and become hostile to their enemies. 'The words of Imam Jafar As Sadiq were like this he said in front of his father, Imam Muhammad bin Ali Al Baqir and he did not deny it.". In Syi'ar Alam An Nubala':260, Imam Jaafar al Sadiq said "Allah Ta`ala denounce Himself from those who denounce Abu Bakr and Umar`." Imam Jaafar Al Sadiq said "Whoever thinks that I am a ma`sum imam who is obliged to be obeyed then I really have nothing to do with him. And whoever thinks that I am separated from Abu Bakr and Umar then I will be free from him`. (Syiar `A`lam An Nubala: 259). All of his teachers are Sahabi and tabi'in such as Abi Ja’far al-Baqir, Atha` bin Abi Rabah, Muhammad bin Syihab al-Zuhri, Urwah bin al-Zubair, Muhammad bin al-Munkadir, dan Abdullah bin Abi Rafi’, Ibn Abbas, al-Qasim bin Muhammad bin Abi Bakr, Nafi’ al-‘Umari, Muslim bin Abi Maryam and so on. And all of his students are Sunni scholars such as Imam Abu Hanifah, Yahya bin Sa’id al-Ansari, Aban bin Taghlib, Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani, Ibnu Juraij, dan Abu Amr bin al-Ala`, Malik bin Anas, Sufyan al-Thauri, Syu’bah bin al-Hajjaj, Sufyan bin Uyainah, Muhammad bin Tsabit al-Bunani, Abu Hanifah, Mu’awiyah bin ‘Ammar al-Duhani, Ibn Ishaq, al-Hasan bin Soleh, al-Hasan bin ‘Ayyash, Zuhair bin Muhammad, Hafs bin Ghiyath, Zaid bin Hasan al-Anmati, Sa’id bin Sufyan al-Aslami, Abdullah bin Maimun, Abd al-Aziz bin Imran al-Zuhri, Abd al-Aziz al-Darawardi, Abd al-Wahhab al-Thaqafi, Uthman bin Farqad, Muhammad bin Maimun al-Za’farani, Muslim al-Zanji, Yahya al-Qattan and so on. So wheres his "Shia students"?. None. Nada. He himself already stated that whoever denounce Abu Bakrs and Umar, then he doesnt want anything to do with them and reject them, and that is Shia. Imam Jaafar al Sadiq himself denounced Shia.

@@mikewallice2795 firstly, your "well known" facts are all false. Secondly, jaffar al sadiq mother has bloodline that goes bak to abu bakr, why? Because Muhammad son of abu bakr was a shia, and imam Ali adopted him and he even fought against his own sister aisha in the battle of the camel. Btw he also killed uthman bin affan in the rebelion. Son of abu bakr was among the true early shias. When shafi'i started defending the jaffar sadiq, the sunnis started calling al shafii a "rafidi". Why wud they call shafii a rafidi if the sunnis didnt think jaffar sadiq was a shia?🤣🤣 Also, sunnis have no books of jaffar al sadiq only shias do. On top of that, the shia school of thought(jaffari school) was opened by imam jaffar al sadiq hence the name "jafari sect" and i havnt started how the sunni khalifa oppressed him becauae imam jaffars shia were revolting against the abbasids.

What a bunch of made up story, even your scholar dont have the story of "imam ali adopted him"...pfft...bullshit. No way the Sahabi and Ahlul Bayt want anything to do with your made up ritual, shirk, kufur people. Never even once Jaafar al Sadiq associate himself with Shia. What books are you talking about? All his books are with Sunni. The so called books of Jaafar al Sadiq that the Shia had was never belong to Jaafar Al Sadiq. For example, the Shia refer to Ibnu Hayyan books that said his books belong Jaafar Al Sadiq when in fact those books that Ibnu Hayyan compiled belong to Jaafar al Barmaki, not Jaafar al Sadiq because Ibnu Hayyan and Al Barmaki lived in Baghdad and they were closed to each other (Iraq is where most Shia scholars live and study) while Jaafar al Sadiq lived in Madinah where the Sunni lives. Next, Kitab Rasail Ikhwan Ash Shafa' that Shia claimed to be written by Jaafar al Sadiq, but this book were only written between 321 Hijrah - 447 Hijrah, 300 years after Jaafar Al Sadiq died in 148 Hijrah. The other books that supposedly as the Shia claimed to be written by Jaafar al Sadiq don't have any legitimate and clear narration reference all the way to Jaafar al Sadiq , those books are Kitab Al Ja`far, Kitab Ilm Al Bithaqah, Kitab Al Jadawil/ Jadawil Al Hilal, Kitab Al Haft, Kitab Ikhtilaj Al A`dha, Qaus Qazah , Tafsir Al Qur-an, Manafi` Al Qur-an, Qira`ah Al Qur-an fi Al Manam, Tafsir Qira`ah As Surah fi Al Manam and Al Kalam `ala Al Hawadits.
