@Blogging Theology, assalaamu alaykum, can you ask your Shaikh to answer this for the average layman born in the west who is ethnically from a muslim country; 1. read the first page of your passport. You have made the kuffar your wali 2.Then ask your parents how they did the pledge of allegiance to the kuffar for their citizenship. 3. Read quran 4:138-146 and discover that we and our parents may be a jahannami munafiqs!

Subhan Allah. When I see you I directly remember Murad Hoffman alihi rahmtuallah. He was so smart and thinker. Jazakom Allah khyran

[@emranba-abbad8335]

Paul Wiliams: This is the most important discussion I've ever listened to. Please make a full series expanding on it and invite many of your favourite thinkers to expand over it; especially my favourite Wael Hallaq. Please take this request very seriously!

InshaAllah!

We need more people to watch The Dr Shabbir Akhtar Legacy Conference 2024. It would be nice .

[@rahatmasud4313]

Dr Shabbir was a very learned scholar - I benefitted a great deal from his insights through his question answer sessions on the net. May Allah give him a high maqam in the hereafter. Ameen

Assalamualaikum My English is not that excellent, and I was afraid that this advance lecture won't be comprehended. But, Subhanallah, I got goosebumps listening to your talk, especially at the last statement. Thank you for the lecture. Now I'm seeking for the book I've just read for us. Or, please invite many scholars to discuss about it in the upcoming days.

Salam allykum brother Paul, I love your work.. do you perhaps have a recommended reading list, I read one of the books you mentioned in your videos.. Islam and the destiny of man by GUI Eaton and it blew my mind.. what other recommendations you have.. much love from South Africa!!

Anas ibn Maik said (may Allah be well pleased with him): (I served Allah’s Messenger *Allah bless him and give him peace* for ten years, and he never said “Uff!” to me. He never asked me about something I had done, saying: “Why did you do it?” nor about something I had left undone, saying: “Why did you leave it undone?” Allah’s Messenger was the finest of human beings in character. I never felt any silk, or anything at all. that was softer than the palm of the hand of Allah’s Messenger . I never smelled any musk, nor any perfume, more fragrant than the sweat of the Prophet !)

[@koroglurustem1722]

Thank you for another wonderful content br Paul! Since you’re doing tribute to Dr Shabbir Akhtar, you may also kindly do an episode for the late Fethullah Gulen, Turkish scholar who passed away a week ago in Pennsylvania. He had started Hizmet movement which established thousands of schools around the world and many other institutions.

[@yusrialtamimi1570]

Shabir will be truly missed, however, his legacy - thank God- still lingers and will continue to do so through his precious writings; I only wish you had him - on your blog- along with Dr Ali Ataei who has an equally important yet opposite opinion on Paul (the apostle, not you the esteemed Williams!)

Alhamdulillah

Hey mr blogging theology i have a question can you do a video or check out the is new book apparently “debunking bart ehrman”

[@ibrahem6354]

The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: Blessed is he who sees me and believes in me. Blessed, then blessed, then blessed is he who believes in me and has not seen me. Sahih al-Jami` 3923

[@yeahbuddy4712]

Hmm interesting. I think Dr Ali Atie has a much lesser charitable opinion of St Paul. Would be interesting to have his take on this book.

​@@Kirk-d7vagain, really? "if that verse is important, pertinent to the comment, perhaps you should copy the text in, referencing your translation, and your reasoning for its importance to you? I'm not going to do your work for you."

[@thetriumphsprint]

@@Kirk-d7v not even close. I'd like to thank you for presenting Christianity to me, in such a succinct way.

انت محظوظ ما شاء الله هو اعتناقك للاسلام و كلما دخل احد من بني جلدتك للاسلام خيرا لك من الدنيا و الاخرة بينما نحن المسلمين بالوطن نحاول ان نقنع المسحينين او غيرهم للدخول للاسلام فتمسكون بدينهم تماما .الحمد لله على نعمة الاسلام ، اسال الله ان يجمعنا مع بعضنا عند حوض رسول الله صل الله عليه و سلم و نشرب منه و هذا ليس مستحيلا من رب كريم و الاها رحيم

Alhamdulilah

[@VandalIO]

Shabbir sounds like a qadiani name

[@jamshidkarimov1021]

Can somebody explain to me? Is this author prasing Paul's writings and comdemning muslims for critisizing him? What about Paul calling Torah garbage and useless in Philippians 3:7-9. And here what he says about God's law: "Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine" 1 Timothy 1:9-10 So he want to say prophet Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Zekariah and all other prophets were sinners and murderers?

[@sonarbangla8711]

I can tabulate a number of faults that can be labelled at Muslims, but I wonder what Shabbir had to say about Mu'tazila and the downfall of the Muslim intellectuals, designed by a Muslim on false pretexts.
