Is it an insult to say the prophets still being alive would not make a difference or make the world worse then it is today?

If moses and jesus and muhammad were all still alive, I think we would have WAY more believers AND just one religion or at least most people under one. ( might still have some flat earther type only a very few believe) But this is not my question. My question is "is it an insult to say it would NOT be a better place? To just say all 3 of those prophets being alive would not make a difference at all.

I don't know how many of these videos have been made yet but just a suggestion: I think it would be nice if possible to have some cuts to some footage that could be relevant to what is being discussed. Like when Sheikh Tasleem went on with the analogy of the plane, it would help the viewer experience if there was footage of a view outside a plane window (or similar). Or maybe a few more camera shots rather than the same angle/zoom quantity for the whole 10 minute video. It could help the viewers of these videos stay engaged throughout and benefit more from them. Hope that is not too much to ask for but I really liked the setup in this video, keep it up 👍

There are 4 judges and 10 guilty criminals. Judge #1 orders punishment for all 10 criminals and does not forgive without punishment a single one. Judge #2 forgives without punishment all 10 criminals. Judge #3 forgives without punishment 9 of them and punishes 1 of them. Judge #4 punishes 9 of them and forgives without punishment 1 of them. Which judge is the most/maximally just? Which judge is the most/maximally merciful? Is judge #3 either most/maximally merciful or most just? Is judge #4 most/maximally merciful or most just?

[@asadahmad6587]

Judge#1 is the most merciful and the most just of judges ! 1) he didn't let the unjust go , this is why , he is the most just . 2) he punished all the criminals , this is why he is most mercifull for giving justice to victims and establishing law . What is justice and mercy ?? -its not absolute rather it's relative . -mercy for one could be A and other could be B . Alchohol is beneficial for health , Yep! But , it is also harmful I for health ! Yep! Harm of alchohol > benefit of alchohol . So , the choice must be ban of alchohol . Same way , mercy must not lead to wrongdoing of one group and justice must not deprive another group of mercy . A man commited adultery , he has a family and a small child . Two options 1) death 2)flogging . If option 1 is used , then another group which is his baby and family will suffer thus leading to snatching of mercy from them . A man raped a woman . Two options 1)death 2) flogging If option , which the victim woman wants is not used and MERCY is shown , the woman will deprived of justice and mercy both . Justice and mercy are relative . It depends on how you define it . According to me and my perception . Mercy must not lead to breaking of justice and rather establishment of justice is the best mercy . So, justice eventually leads to mercy . Hence ,who give justice fully and completely is most merciful and most just. A small baby which is 4 days old crying , a man who don't know anything about babies offers him to drink water and thus by showing mercy , baby is killed ( as water is harmful to small babies). Now, If the man wouldn't have offered water and would have had let baby to cry . It was the establishment of justice that would eventually become mercy to baby .

He is most just because he applied the right punishment to the law. Mercy is to forgive wrongdoing. There is no mercy here, only justice. The guilty was not forgiven, the victims did nothing wrong to be forgiven from. (I have this copy pasted, I forgot to change the mercy for forgiveness even though they are pretty much the same thing, it makes it easier to understand) "What is justice and mercy ?? -its not absolute rather it's relative . -mercy for one could be A and other could be B ." Justice and mercy are opposing ends of the forgiveness scale. It looks like this. Most/max justice-----forgiveness scale-----most/max forgiveness. One is for the most part not forgiving and the other one is forgiving. Now a judge who reduces a sentence is sacrificing some justice and giving some mercy. And a person who forgives but under conditions instead of just forgiving no questions asked is sacrificing some mercy and giving some justice. But you cant punish to perfect justice AND forgive without question at the same time. That is like saying you have max light and max darkness in the same room. "Alchohol is beneficial for health , Yep! But , it is also harmful I for health ! Yep! Harm of alchohol > benefit of alchohol . So , the choice must be ban of alchohol ." No, the choice is to use it when its needed and to not overuse it and become addicted. I hope you know how often alcohol is used to sterilize things. And while I understand what you are saying, you left out very important information that makes it look like you just contradicted yourself. Alcohol is good, alcohol is bad without saying why. 1 glass of wine a day had health benefits like antioxidants, Too much alcohol causes liver problems and other bad effects. The same can be said about many things. Did you know if you drink too much water you can get water intoxication and die? Did you know that is why we do not give babies water before 6-9 months? Your reasoning here is not very good. "Same way , mercy must not lead to wrongdoing of one group and justice must not deprive another group of mercy ." ?????? You do not deprive a group from mercy if they have done nothing wrong. Victims do not get mercy, they get justice. "A man commited adultery , he has a family and a small child . Two options 1) death 2)flogging . If option 1 is used , then another group which is his baby and family will suffer thus leading to snatching of mercy from them ." The victims cant be sown mercy, they did nothing wrong to be forgiven from. Lets just use forgiving instead of merciful as you have having problems using the word properly and that might help you understand. "A man raped a woman . Two options 1)death 2) flogging If option , which the victim woman wants is not used and MERCY is shown , the woman will deprived of justice and mercy both ." She is deprived of justice maybe, but she is the victim and has done nothing wrong to be forgiven from. "Justice and mercy are relative . It depends on how you define it ." Ya, funny how if you completely change the definition of words to whatever you want it gets rid of contradictions. Darkness is not the absence of light, dark is light so its not a contradiction. WELL DUH. "According to me and my perception . Mercy must not lead to breaking of justice and rather establishment of justice is the best mercy ." Then they mean nothing if you can forgive and not forgive with them and say justice and mercy have been done. Allah being most just and most forgiving means nothing then. "A small baby which is 4 days old crying , a man who don't know anything about babies offers him to drink water and thus by showing mercy , baby is killed ( as water is harmful to small babies)." What did the baby do that he is forgiving the baby from? Well if we define mercy as whatever I want, I am never wrong hahaha look at how smart I am.

[@al.jibran]

@@macmac1022I must say, for a troll, you do spend a lot of time typing stuff. Didn't I point out the last time you posted this question that your definition of justice where guilty must be punished for every crime isn't the only one and neither is it objectively true? (Read Plato's The Republic. Socrates in Book 1 deals with this exact idea). Certain crimes like slander, non-repayment of debt, physical harm and others can be forgiven by the victims in other cultures and ideas of justice and in these cases both forgiveness and punishment are considered justice? Therefore, God being the most merciful and most fogiving can forgive some crimes and be the all just and punish some crimes and be the all just? Mercy/forgiveness is not in contradiction to justice.

[@macmac1022]

@@asadahmad6587 "- what is mercy ? - define mercy ! - prove your definition mercy !" Its suppose to say forgiveness. I used to use mercy because mercy pretty much is forgiveness and I recently edited this but I missed that one mercy I guess. Either way, mercy is forgiveness of wrong doing, forgiveness is a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness. O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” I would think this would make that clear for you, but apparently not. Now read this and tell me how I am using the wrong definition?

[@macmac1022]

To start with you say its confirmation bias to why some people do not accept islam. I respond with its confirmation bias to say that. When your worldview (that you get from the environment around you) includes a book that tells you its true. Then you have other people telling you its true. You might even have parents that were telling you this is true since you were a born. That book also says certain people will not believe (even though allah being the best of planners and through using the prophets shows that her wants us to believe and worship him only manages to get 1 in 1000 people into heaven and only 1/4 of the world to worship him and the other prophets before turned out to be completely useless as everything went astray) because they are bias. Worldviews are shaped by our environment(see above). Its my worldview if I jump off a cliff I will fall, and if I land in deep enough water I will probably survive depending on speed of the fall. I can see if these world views are objective with science if we get technical but just watching others do it and the same thing happening should tell me its true. There are REASONS why I think that worldview from the environment. What does it mean about the person who answers honestly and says I do know to all those existential questions questions? If someone did would that mean they have no worldview at all? Now when you are talking about ethics we get into justice. What a person sees as just is a window into how they think society should work. It is a worldview built up from the environment and is very open to biases. We can see differences in justice systems and how they have changed over time in the same places. People disagree still about many things like abortion, drug laws, apostasy laws, lobbying laws, ect ect. Now, what are the REASONS there are those disagreements? If you keep breaking it down, on the theist side you end up with because islam teaches that, and then built up again from there. That method will lead a lot heavier into confirmation bias then letting the environment speak for itself.

I dont think I am the type of person they are looking for there after reading about it. It seems like I place to set up a meeting with someone to help with doubts. Me being unconvinced is doubt but not in the way of being a believer and only have a question or 2. More of a I am a seeker and defender of truth. If I see contradictions by those who proclaim the truth, I say something type of thing. I guess you could say in my worldview, truth is of very high value and people should all use good reasoning and point out bad logic when seen, but by comparing reason to reason not person to person in a civilized way to learn from. Grice's maxims are great for having good learning conversations

[@asadahmad6587]

" When you world view ( that you ...... around you ) .............because they are bias " -that book ( quran ) tells the reasons , why people reject Islam 1) limited knowledge ( here,KNOWLEDGE ≠ ILM ,rather it's HIKMA ) 2) desire to follow lust and greed .( lust and greed ,according to Islam ) 3) shaytan decieved them (shaytan of Islam not satan of bible ) 4) they reject the signs ( signs which god almighty give from sun to moon and other which are written in quran ) 5) they are ignorant of truth ( here, TRUTH = HAQQ, search it ) 6) they have been sealed by god as a punsihment for Islam is a mercy and they don't deserve it ! Many more, but I can't mention all ,comment will be very long . Al-Anfal 8:59 And let not those who disbelieve think they will escape. Indeed, they will not cause failure [to Allah]. - if worldview is from environment then, why do we have axioms for everything and world work of some axioms which aren't from environment ,and yeah, Why don't we have any proof of those axioms from environment ? - I have got a nice verse for your worldview . Al-Mu'minun 23:71 But if the Truth [i.e., Allah] had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message, but they, from their message, are turning away. - there are certain axioms , which cannot be proved but they are true . Of one rejects axioms , the whole working system will fall ! Any idea from where we get axioms , how to prove it ! Do we get them from environment or can environment prove it "WHY DO PEOPLE DIFFER ?" -by my limited knowledge of quran and by reading these two Verses Hud 11:118 And if your Lord had willed, He could have made mankind one community; but they will not cease to differ, An-Nisa' 4:157 And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain. PEOPLE ONLY DIFFER BECAUSE GOD WANTS THAT ANS AS THEY DONT HAVE TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF EVERYTHING WITH ACCURACY .
