What I respect most about Mohamed Hijab is his ability to humble himself when he’s wrong and his frequent self criticism. It’s difficult to do as a normal person with an ego so it’s impressive to see in an influencer. May Allah bless him and all of us Ameen.

[@tinkeringtim7999]

@williambarylo perhaps that's biased by the algorithm. Mistakes made in striving for that behaviour become amplified by millions of sensation views as shaytaan clutches at straws to sew division in our ummah. As you showed with his charity work, everything contentious is amplified. Since he's active every day, and people are still citing the same few examples, I'd say that's an indicator of a pretty clean record.

You absolutely right when you say that we should not judge someone before to know him but Mohamed Hijab like many Muslim influencer are actualy solding the Islam. When I used to live in the UK, I was frequently engaging people who used to make dawah street in London and I just realised they approach was purely commercial trying to convert as much people as they can in a very short time. Mohamed hijab is just a part of this process by making useless debate with Christian mostly and Jews. When I use to speak with them broughting some proof that they couldn't preaching Islam like this, they were always upset and refusing the debate. They started to become very violent and threating me to call the police. The truth is, what you can see with Mohamed Hijab or others influencer used to debate in the internet or the speaking corner, it's just sales people who apply a sales strategy🤑

[@williambarylo]

Even as an academic, I don't believe in debating. Even with experts it's just subjective and about interpreting evidence. I can't see how this type of dawah actually makes a difference but... as you rightly said, it's effective ar gathering attention. And what people do with attention...

[@youssefdrai4575]

​​@@williambarylo Being really honest with you, I don't think preaching Islam in the west is a good idea. I'am quite worry about what they used to do trough their debate because according what's writting in the Quran, obviously some honest people will discover the all truth and as a result Islamophobia will increase again and again. The thing is in order to attract more and more people. they just introduce a part of the religion. I used to see them giving a summary of the Quran hiding the verse who do not suit to them. This strategy is quite dangerous and now it's turning against them. If you wonder why the Jews do not like to making debate or introduce their religion, it's just in order to avoid others to discover the controversial aspects of their religion and avoiding the increasing of antisemitism.

Yes, it might not be the most pedagogically sound method, but it's better for people to be entertained by a content that carries a sound Islamic message than by all the disgusting garbage that exists out there.

📌 The story of the Jew who used to throw his trash at the doorstep of the Prophet ﷺ is not true. My dear brothers and sisters, anyone who wants to build their religious knowledge on a solid foundation should perform a database "formatting" to get rid of some "tenets" of religion they were taught at a young age, which turn out to be untrue. One such widespread story is that of the Jew who used to throw his daily trash at the doorstep of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ would then remove the trash and go on his way until one day, the Prophet ﷺ did not find any trash. He asked about the Jew and was told that he was sick. The Prophet ﷺ visited him, and the Jew was so touched he converted to Islam. This story is baseless; I'm not saying it is "a weak ḥadīth", but a 'baseless' one, which means no true scholar of ḥadīth has ever narrated it. Moreover, the story is untrue because: 1) The Prophet ﷺ only mixed with Jews in Madīnah, where he ﷺ was the leader of the Muslims, while the Jews were plotting against Islam secretly in humiliation and disgrace. Therefore, none of them would have dared do such an act (i.e. throwing trash at his doorstep). 2) Even if a Jew did throw trash on the doorstep of the Prophet, ﷺ how can we believe that his Companions would let the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ remove it himself? This would have been at odds with the Companions' reverence for the Prophet ﷺ. 3) This story is narrated as an example of the tolerance of the Prophet ﷺ. However, this is not tolerance but weakness; far be the Messenger of Allāh from it. Tolerance is with those who occasionally misbehave, like the man who pulled the Prophet ﷺ from his garment and said: "Give me, O Muhammad." But for a wicked Jew to trash the Prophet's doorstep on a daily basis while the Prophet silently removes it every day, is a weakness beneath the Prophet's status ﷺ. Again: If the story's narration were authentic, we would search for an interpretation, but the story is utterly baseless. On the website 'Islamqa', we find: "We draw attention here to an addition that is widely circulated among people nowadays, that this neighbor of the Prophet ﷺ was harming him ﷺ, and that he used to place garbage and thorns in his way. The truth is that this addition has no origin in the books of Sunnah, nor was it mentioned by any scholars. However, it has become well-known among current da'ees, despite its lack of authenticity or chain of transmitters. A Muslim, by default, should only take what's deemed authentic by the scholars, especially as the story at hand is unsound." So, brothers and sisters! Fear Allāh regarding the biography of the beloved Prophet ﷺ. By Allāh, we have no excuse as the means to gauge the authenticity or weakness of narrations are widespread and easily accessible. The authentic tradition/hadith suffices and removes the need to quote false and fabricated ḥādīths. Authentic ḥādīths about the Prophet's forbearance and his forgiveness are numerous and easy to extract from the authentic books of ḥadīth. Do not circulate this mindset among our children: "If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other!" It's a mindset we should not attribute to the Prophets, as it is beneath their status. I hope that whoever reads these words shares them to clear the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet ﷺ from the [fabrications] attributed to it. Peace and mercy of Allāh be upon you. _ Just by coincidence, I came across this article by Eyad Qunaibi

Thank you for sharing this perspective. I wonder about the people of Ta'if though. Why the Prophet did not order the angels to destroy them when they offered?

@@williambarylo The answer is in the hadith. "I hope Allah will bring out from their progeny those who would worship Allah alone without associating any partners with Him.” Prophets were tested severely than average believers. After the Taif incident, the prophet (pbuh) was blessed with Isra wal miraj through which muslims received five daily prayers, last 2 verses of Surah Baqarah and major sins will be forgiven if we stay away from shirk.

[@markscheepers9908]

Seems you don't know Hijab too, he targets "soft" opponents to debate like those in the "park" and avoids those he knows he will lose against. And guess where his weakness lies, true Christian Islamic debates and I understand his dilemma, it is not that he does not have the answers it's just that the arguments available are too weak. Islam is a difficult faith to really defend if you are faced with an opponent that knows it well, there are just to many "holes" in it to defend the faith....proof it's not God sent, that's why it needs hundreds of hadiths but even these fall short, exposing the faith as man-made.

[@williambarylo]

That's a possible strategy. I think all religions are hard to defend

[@markscheepers9908]

@@williambarylo No, it's not, that's a false assumption due to your lack of knowledge. When you read a book claimed to come from the "true" God that gives his prophet permission to sin and plans the sin of men then we are faced with a demon masquerading as the true God. "Sahih Muslim 2658a حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ كُتِبَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ نَصِيبُهُ مِنَ الزِّنَى مُدْرِكٌ ذَلِكَ لاَ مَحَالَةَ فَالْعَيْنَانِ زِنَاهُمَا النَّظَرُ وَالأُذُنَانِ زِنَاهُمَا الاِسْتِمَاعُ وَاللِّسَانُ زِنَاهُ الْكَلاَمُ وَالْيَدُ زِنَاهَا الْبَطْشُ وَالرِّجْلُ زِنَاهَا الْخُطَا وَالْقَلْبُ يَهْوَى وَيَتَمَنَّى وَيُصَدِّقُ ذَلِكَ الْفَرْجُ وَيُكَذِّبُهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying. ALLAH FIXED THE VERY PORTION OF ADULTERY WHICH A MAN WILL INDULGE IN. There would be NO ESCAPE FROM IT. The adultery of the eye is the lustful look and the adultery of the ears is listening to voluptuous (song or talk) and the adultery of the tongue is licentious speech and the adultery of the hand is the lustful grip (embrace) and the adultery of the feet is to walk (to the place) where he intends to commit adultery and the heart yearns and desires which he may or may not put into effect . Sahih Muslim 2658a sunnah.com/muslim:2658a No Holy & Perfect God would do this, except a counterfeit.

[@williambarylo]

My theory is not that he's attention seeking but more that he tries to present Islam in a novel way to younger crowds. But as it's only a theory, I can be wrong

[@tinkeringtim7999]

Please don't advocate declaring people out of Islam! In Saheeh al-Bukhaari (6104) and Saheeh Muslim (60) it is narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar ... that the Prophet ... said: “If a man declares his brother to be a kaafir, it will apply to one of them.” According to another report: “Either it is as he said, otherwise it will come back to him.” Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When a person calls his brother (in Islam) a disbeliever, one of them will certainly deserve the title. If the addressee is so as he has asserted, the disbelief of the man is confirmed, but if it is untrue, then it will revert to him."

Ask Hijab this: If Muhammed couldn’t and didn't describe GOD and the Quran doesn't describe who GOD is, how can anybody know, let alone the Muslims? Proof? Answer this simple question: You Muslims tell us that we worship the same GOD? Is that true? What you need to establish is: Who/What is GOD? So the question is: Describe GOD? Describe GOD? No Names! No Attributes! No Miracles! No History! What HE has or hasn't done! Can or can't do! Will or won't do! Using the Quran and the Bible only, write down the title, chapter and verse only. No Text. No Explanations. No commentaries! Describe GOD? Describe GOD? e.g. John ??:??, Sura ??:?? Et al. For more than twenty five years I have asked this question with no proper response, and when they did answer it was exactly what a drater< would say, nothing remotely close to what the question asks? The Muslims can answer the question, but they won’t. Why not? There are many facets to the question, meet all the criteria. If I could have done it, so can any and everybody else do it! Make sure you understand what the question is, before you answer and make a fool of yourself!
