5) So I started to question myself again I thought I cannot see,touch the air yet it is there and many similar questions from this went on a spiritual search for God on the net. I came across many religions and finally Islam on Islamic web sites you tube and from this read Quran this book shook my heart like nothing before this book I could never deny it this is what I have been looking for the questions to my life have finally been answered. I am so very grateful to Allah for showing me the way

[@timjames7652]

6) When I read the Quran I came across this verse 'We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their ownselves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Quran) is the truth. After I read this I cried and cried as this is what Allah had been showing me all along making me reflect and ponder over the creation of God.

[@Saiyan1007]

Reverts calling muslims back to islam, always amazing!

[@timjames7652]

3)Would a car designer create a car with defects i.e. wheels on the roof? Would anyone who is a designer create anything which has a defect? No they would not so how are we created so perfectly by chance this is not posible nothing can be so perfectly created without a creator. It is as though we are placed on this planet and created in such a way that ours bodies are able to fit perfectly for every task. I thought about this on many parts of the body each time it served its purpose for a reason

[@ranashoib2064]

Hamza brother you speak islam language beautiful

[@yougonasorry]

the recent debate between hamza and lawrence krauss was really interesting, i changed my mind on certain aspects of Islam

[@8118ghazi]

My Brother Hamza I love you for the sake of Allah to the Death, I defend you with my life very cheaply that is because you are guiding people to The True Islam getting them back to The original home, the home of the everlasting happiness in both lives.

[@zah1238]

May Allah Reward you for doing your part brother Hamza Tzortzis and May Allah Guide your parents. Ameen.

[@MALIKMAVERICK]

There is no doubt in his,speech

[@ChristiansToIslam]

I love brother Hamza A. Tzortzis. May God bless him.

[@Lunarek]

LOL "Loreal because I'm worth it" ....that was so random haha جزاكم الله خيرا :)

[@md.afzalimam8430]

Allahamdulilah.......Brother Hamza is a great thinker, philosopher, speaker and most of all a true servant of Allah..........May Allah bless him , his family and all those who invites mankind to the path of ALLAH.......Ameen

[@timjames7652]

2) Although I still believed God later started to disbelieve in him why? I can't see him. Later againin life I stated to question myself how can we be born so perfect every part of our body has a purpose our hands feet mouths. The feet the way it is shaped to walk perfectly on the ground the hand the way it grips how can we be created in such a way by chance so perfect in being to fit in this very environment around us. What if we had our fingers or feet on backwards how would we grip or walk?

[@kanwalrukh1718]

Too good Brother Hamza too good. May Allah reward you for this speech. Jazak Allah Khairan.

[@MuhammadFauzy001]

Your story really touched me. I ask ALLAH, the Almighty, to keep our hearts connected to him until we meet him. Ameen..

[@Tothose]

[@rasidsuraini9729]

MashaAllah my Allah guide and protect to all Ummah

[@drnabilkhan]

MA...one of the best lectures I've ever heard and thats no joke

[@timjames7652]

4) I then stated to look and think about many other things around me like fruits water they have a purpose the amount of vitamin anti-oxidants minerals and many other nutrition benefits they contain how this fruit got that amount of vitamin and all the other good in it perfect for the human body with the exact amount of benefit contained in each fruit? This could not have just been put there by chance

[@Laviesestbelle]

i was almost running out of imaan feeling miserable jazakAllahu khairan..my deen is haq

[@wwrij]

just to add to the "what is the purpose of the hereafter" question. we cannot always ascribe purpose to an ends, its like asking "what is the purpose of being happy," we cannot really answer that, we just want happiness. if we ask "what is the function of the hereafter," then we can say many things, such as Allah establishing his ultimate justice by rewarding the good and punishing the evil, Allah fulfilling his promise of paradise for the muttaqoon etc...Allah knows best

[@hamzaamin6546]

I was sat right infront of him. One of the best speech ever Allahu akbar

[@southparkundersecretwisdom3230]

the ocean will not dry up because the water in the bucket evaporates and falls back into the ocean... Okay, this is a cyclic example. A better example, is counting each grain of sand and putting it in a air tight bucket, for 1000 years, you still have an infinite grain of sands left...

[@MuslimahWarrior]

Keep sharing your intelligent perspectives.

[@alasaadi3]

Great speach! Thank you brother Hamza. Please continue. I am from Bahrain and its true there are thousands of scholars around here but many are only directing their Duwa towards arabs because they're educated in Arabic. it's time they should do something about it.

[@figsterphobia]

MashaAllah may Allah grant us greater understandings of Islam and Life. May Allah grant this brother and all of us Jannatul - Firdaws.

[@RED-od8xi]

Islam means the submission to the will of god. The non believers see the word as a term that defines a religion. Do not simply think it as a term for religion. Use your intellect, as god says so in the Quran. A Muslim is a person that submits to the will of god. Jesus was a Muslim. Why? He submitted to the will of god. Moses was a Muslim. Why? He submitted to the will of god. All of the messengers before were Muslim. Why? Because they submitted to the will of god.

[@jineen123]

and exactly right! Islam means submit! people out there define it as a religion when the prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him has been sent to all man kind to tell them all to submit to God! instead many thought he is calling to be worshiped. Muhammad is a prophet, he is not worshiped by Muslims, he is respected only. Submission and worship only God (Allah)

[@pheeel17]

+Redstrife And the Hindus submit to hundreds or even thousands of gods, so they are also Muslim

[@tomie2tone763]

Oh ! Manners ! may peace be upon him !

[@TheAjnabi2010]

Masha Allah great lecture, May Allah bless you!

[@Fisabililah09]

Had Allah willed, He would have made a single community of people, but (He did not), so that He may test you in what He has given to you.Strive, then, to excel each other in good deeds. To Allah is the return for all of you. Then Allah shall tell you about that in which you disputed. [Quran chapter 52 verse 48]

[@Kajaaani]

Great speach bro. May Allah gives you and us more power to spread the truth of Tawheed through out the world.

[@rocky0761]

[@omarkoge8197]

amazing lecture masha allah.....

[@alexsahak420]

Geat Presentation

[@fhab525]

the ''purpose'' of life depends on your environment and upbringing. sociology has already answered this question, a persons belief system is tied up to the lessons taught to them by others. I read the ''purpose driven life'' by rick warren and he says the reason we live is to be like Jesus and love each other, simple enough but in order to embrace this thinking you would have to be brought up in a christian environment, one ''purpose'' cannot apply to all people.

[@Peace-dg3ph]

Mashaallah love it

[@hcrisis]

Assalamualaikum Brother, I am currently engaging in a dialogue with an atheist and trying to show him the truth of Islam. It would be helpful if you can tell me why it is you chose Islam. How you got over you beliefs in atheism. And what has it done for you. If you have the time and are comfortable with answering my questions, it would be great. Jazakallah Khayr

[@zg26]

Ma Sha Allah. I find it very impressing, the taught that u learned the Arabic language so well!! keep it going

[@Ruby36687]

Brilliantly said. Jzk.

[@beestonpalani07]

Allah wanted to justice to himself, so he brought creation into being to rule it--- therefore Allah created us to do justice to him---justice here has spiritual component, therefore, suffering, sacrificing, obeying, fearing, hoping, knowing, praising, supplicating, appreciating and loving Allah all are froms of worship that does justice to Allah because he has earned by rights of his attribute and virtues. that is by His majesty, beauty and the reality of his being. After all, what is justice but to give a thing its dues, earned by right of its virtues and attributes. that is the purpose of life in islam---the act of Submitting to God by those forms of worship above, willingly or unwillingly by all of creation in the heavens and earth. He asks us to justice to him, and he will be more than Just to us, he will be merciful in the end.

[@samirsafi7423]

No Zero خلاص :) .. U are a ggod man our brother Hamaz .. Ask Allah to bless u InshAllah ..

[@aali8004]

*constantly requires a lot of energy.

[@aali8004]

Regardless, thank you for your response. If you ever need any help or assistance in anything, a concern you wish to overcome, anything big or small, I would be very happy and grateful to help you if I can inshallah.

[@halitgumus9341]

@gurn58, Quran has a lot of sciences in it as well as spirituality. Study it and find out

[@mostinho9]

mashallah :)

[@FeSabeelAllah]

Dewsbury can't believe it lol

[@latifahraleb2137]

He has a big issue with l'Oreal lol

[@iqraiqbal2783]

Wow Mashallah so are you a Muslim know?

[@Fisabililah09]

...After the prophets came to their people they were persecuted and denied.And the scriptures they brought was changed (Torah, Bible) and corrupted.

[@omarz2145]

The purpose of the hereafter is simple- it is our original home. Adam was created in it and it was only by his sin that he and his offspring would spend time on earth as a temporary abode.

[@iqraiqbal2783]

Wow Mashallah so are you a Muslim now?

[@umarninetyfour]

and lol this man is hilarious 00:06:57

[@Tothose]

where did they get the "innate" sense of right and wrong. do animal have the sense of right and wrong ?.this sense if GOD given .and its in the Quaran but GOD sent revelations to reinforce that innate sense so you dont have any excuse on the Day of Judgement. Our innate sense of right and wrong would have been enough but its mercy from GOD that he sent REVELATIONs. any thing thats said good is from GOD and any mistake that is made is from me and shiatan. Astagfirullah

[@Fisabililah09]

There are other religions besides islam because many people deviated from the right religion, islam.Allah sent many messengers and prophets throughout history to warn nations who deviated. They all had the same message;there is no god but Allah. In the Quran stories of Adam, Abraham, Noah, David, Solomon, Moses, children of Israel, Jesus, Lot, and others are mentioned.

[@_313BADR]

brother hamza got a phat wallet.

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

The only purpose someone's life has is the purpose which they give it.

[@fudgeshareholders6102]

You didn't watch it

[@tomie2tone763]

Your assuming that I am an orphan ! You would be wrong in your first assumption !

[@izri1]

The Creator did NOT create other religions besides Islam. The only religion the creator will accept is Islam. All the prophets came with the same message. That is Islam. Islam means ´´peace acquired by submitting your will to the will of the One God´´. Muslim means ´´a person who is submitting his-her will to the will of the One God´´.

[@fn1675]

So are you a muslim now? :)

[@wabdih]

that is not how you speak to non-Muslims. Treat them with more respect. The Prophet did too.

[@elkibr]

this is very bad attitude, we suppose to help people to wake up & return to their Fitra & Islam .

[@apollocreed3263]

the purpose of all life is to survive..

[@motelr]

this guy states we had no choice,so if say, he was adopted at birth by a strong Christian American family & raised within a strong Christian church,would he be muslim,I dought it

[@V21mys]

He was a Greek christian

[@LabibaZakiyra10]

lol

[@santubong2011]

Even without a "divine purpose" in life; humans have an innate sense of right and wrong. And in democratic countries which honours the rule of law; a person living his life like the devil will be caught & condemned to prison. So there's every incentive to be law abiding citizens. But the temptation is always there to game the system. I stopped watching at 12mins. I'll come back later.

[@tomie2tone763]

Can I ask why muslim are throwing Europe and Sweden into turmoil ? I have read much in the news and I am studying religion and its effect on the world , and I have been overlaying maps with populations and the effect ! So does anyone care to answer ?
