The Muslim Fighting Coach who STUNNED Joe Rogan - Firas Zahabi

[@powerunleashed3789]

Firas is highly underrated. He is not only seasoned in the martial arts but also philosophy. He is a highly knowledgeable and wise individual.

Brother Firas thank you, thank you thank you. May Allah grant you the best reward. Hopefully, I will meet you one day. WHY THANK YOU? Because you said “Muslim should be the masters of science”. It saddens me everyday to see many in our community turning away from science and knowledge and following all kind of conspiracies. I found it beautiful that the great Ghazali used the word ‘demonstration’ …indeed science is demonstration. It is our job (you and scientists) to explain the scientific method to our people so they know our valuable it should be to us and why we should be the ‘masters of science’ because if we are not we will fall into the darkness of conspiracies.

Amazing conversation i learned some new things 🎉

[@dominicdarmanin9866]

As an Orthodox Christian, I have massive respect for Firas Zahabi. There are only a handful of individuals who can command the spotlight for 95% of a conversation and still keep everyone engaged. He possesses a unique talent for taking the profound wisdom of great minds from the past and presenting it in a digestible manner for the layman. We traditional Christians agree about the modern day leftist-liberal and atheism. Let us engage in more of these discussions to enlighten the unbelievers and challenge one another, with love, in uncovering the true nature of God.

[@EAGLE29-TIME]

"Four years after the death of Justinian, A.D. 569, was born at Mecca, in Arabia, the man who, of all men, has exercised the greatest influence upon the human race… To the declaration that there is but one God, he added, “and Mohammed is his Prophet.” Whoever desires to know whether the event of things answered to the boldness of such an announcement, will do well to examine a map of the world in our own times. He will find the marks of something more than an imposture. To be the religious head of many empires, to guide the daily life of one-third of the human race, may perhaps justify the title of a messenger of God." *John W. Draper, A History of the Intellectual Development of Europe (London: G. Bell and Sons, 1875), 329-30.*

Brother Zahabi is one of the best people on the microphone. His understanding of Islamic theology and modern science, allows him to bridge so many gaps. Masha'Allah.

I am a mixed martial artist myself, and have watched 1000's of hours of this sport. I have seen many of Coach Zahabi's fighters and his impact on them fighting before and afterwards. I can honestly say that it is my opinion and is a hard argument to counter that he is the best coach in MMA. I may like other coaches or think they did good jobs esp. with certain fighters IE Coach Nicksick with Ngannou and Strickland, but I've known this guy was goated for a long time.

Mashallah, what an honor it would be to converse with this man and pick his brain. I feel as though being a Muslim it’s hard to find open minded thinkers who don’t fall into the liberal mindset, most of the brothers I have met usually keep it to the basic teachings of Islam without pondering. It’s hard to find people who can understand so many vast topics and actually enjoy philosophy. Need more content like this!!

[@hush7514]

Thankyou for letting brother Firas speak freely. I sense that he’s getting more comprehensive and better with his explanations with time. He probably does a lot of self analysis to simplify his knowledge for the common man. May Allah reward you brother. I find Firas to be an elite intellectual. If he was white, he’d be there instead of Jordan Peterson. Jordan makes simple things sound complicated. And Jordan is limited in his range of topics and depth of discussion. Firas on the other hand makes complex things seem simple and has a broad range of knowledge. And speaks with clarity. Seems like the west is on its way down. They’re only holding on to power with the barrel of their gun. The west only came out of the dark ages because of Islamic sciences. The quicker they realise that the quicker they can get back on track. The Muslims lost their way because they reduced their Islam from the complete code of life that it used to be, to the mere 5 pillars they are left with today. Not sure whose mischief that was. The west took the rest of Islam it seems. Interesting exchange over the last 1400 years.
