​@@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! ❤️

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.*

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.

[@Bill_Garthright]

@@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]

@@irfanahmed6727 _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.

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.

[@jonatand2045]

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.

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

[@Call_Upon_YAH]

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.*

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.
