UNIVERSITY STUDENT CHALLENGES MUSLIM | "WHY DOES EVIL EXIST?" | USC DEBATE

[@zaynkarim841]

I’ve noticed that many channels rely on rage bait to draw in viewers-thumbnails filled with angry faces and titles like 'ATHEIST DESTROYS MUSLIM' or 'CHRISTIAN OBLITERATES ATHEIST.' Even as I watch this, I'm scrolling through the recommended videos (mostly videos from other channels) and the thumbnails are full of rage bait. But what I love about The Existence Project is that it’s setting a new standard. Instead of playing into hostility, they're fostering a respectful exchange of ideas. It’s refreshing to see debates that focus on understanding, not tearing others down. Keep up the great work! I hope to see another season soon, Insha'Allah!

[@rehan3600]

I love this comment. I completely agree. It’s rare that a channel gives you something valuable and wholesome as opposed to a cheap tactic to elicit max views.

[@jojos9788]

That's just marketing and whatever this dude is doing was also a trend back than

[@wingchun6036]

Fully with you on that. I noticed even those who started off respectful and level headed have started relying on these sensationalist thumbnails (like it's some kind of sparring match). Everyone's vying attention, but not in the best way. Very off putting.

[@SA-mn1ux]

@@jojos9788 marketing is one thing lying and deceiving audiences are highlighting differences in a way that triggers one part or another. It is highly unproductive and actually completely against the teachings of Islam. How can you invite ppl to Islam while acting unIslamically?

"If the parents are patient, that child will be their ticket to paradise." I'm just having lunch right now, and I'm crying after hearing that. My wife has experienced 2 miscarriages and i felt like a deep sadness within me just left my body after hearing that. Pain is the greatest teacher. Alhamdullilah. Thank you for this video. I never knew I had that emotional trauma that I needed to address.

[@torontocentralnasirat3057]

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. May god give you the patience to persevere through this difficult time

[@rohaam_k1558]

May Allah the Most Merciful bless you and your wife and encompass you in His Mercy. I find no better message for you except the Holy Prophet (ﷺ)’s letter to Hazrat Muadh bin Jabal (ra) when he lost his young child: “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, Ever Merciful. This letter is from Muhammad, the Messenger of Alläh to Muädh bin Jabal. May peace be on you. I praise Allah, except Whom there is none worthy of worship. I write to wish that Allah grants you a great reward, May He inspire you with capacity to be grateful to Him. Our lives, our wealth and our children are His bounties. These are the trusts that He has given to us. May Allah grant you true happiness as a recompense for the loss of this child and bestow reward of blessings, guidance as a recompense for his death. Be patient and you would be rewarded, do not lose your reward by wailing, which you might regret later. Remember the dead person does not come back by wailing and mourning and impatience does not remove the grief. An affliction which is destined for someone, is bound to befall on him. Wassalām"

[@SA-mn1ux]

We are so fortunate to have the blessed and healing words of our master, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw), who is beautiful teachings act like a time travelling ointment for the deepest and most hopeless wounds of our hearts. Thank you so much for sharing this. Will be praying for you in my next prayer.

[@Ridabasharat13]

Really sorry to hear about your loss. May Allah Tala bring ease to your heart and grant you patience and strength during such a difficult time.

[@_sarahnaveed]

I’m so incredibly sorry to hear of your loss. I’m reminded of a Hadith which says that if a Muslim is afflicted with any hurt, even if it is no more than the pricking of a thorn, but Allah wipes off his sins because of it and his sins fall away from him as leaves fall from a tree. I can only imagine the paradise Allah has built you and your wife for the strength you showed and grief you endured 🤲 May He protect you both always.

[@rehan3600]

This has personally helped me understand my own relationship to God and the universe. Thank you so much for this program.

[@hinakausar5194]

Me too. When I reflect on my struggles, I see how they’ve drawn me closer to God. It’s in those painful moments, when you feel alone, that you can discover His presence. It was through the challenges I faced in my life that I learned about God’s grace and mercy, feeling a strength within me I never knew existed. Those experiences taught me that even in the darkest times, there’s a light guiding us. And that light is God.

[@Sifat-y9t]

What we call pointless suffering is an asymmetrical passing of judgement over a form of suffering that we are not actually aware of its entirety. We do not understand as yet role that suffering the overall progress of human beings. For instance, one person who is not aware of why racks are being administered a chemical that is causing them in some cases to die. Who is aware that those rats are being tested so that human children can survive that wonton and useless suffering. We see that there is a deliberate purposefulness to each and every aspect of the universe. Can we call those things about which we do not have phone knowledge pointless?

[@maleehaahmad6982]

Without an encounter with pain and suffering, joy and happiness would lose all meaning. If a mother only thinks of the immense amount of pain she would experience during childbirth, she won't go that way! It's the joy of the reward in the form of her baby that pulls her through this ordeal! Pain is an integral part of one's evolution and survival. Very well presented! People just can't get their heads around pain and suffering and they think if God is ever merciful and all powerful why can't he just erase the pain and suffering, they can't seem to understand the whole picture. Although in my teens, I had the same questions but it all makes sense now!

When it comes to the human body, pain acts as our internal alarm, signaling that something needs attention. It’s how we recognize that something might be wrong and requires care. And like Murabbi Sb said, pain tells us when we need to move in the opposite direction - it can guide us to a better path. Pain is not always negative.

[@feltfloristsehllamalick2958]

[@mahwish_m]

In terms of the human body, pain is our warning system. It's how we know that something is wrong with us and we should get it checked out. Pain also helps us appreciate the beauty of our life. It makes us grateful when we aren't in pain. Simply put, pain isn't always a bad thing.

[@zaynkarim841]

Great example that reinforces the vital role that pain plays in our lives. As you’ve alluded to, individuals with CIP experience unique challenges because - without being able to detect pain - they can injur themselves unknowingly. Hence, pain is actually a critical tool. And from an Islamic perspective, the pain of innocents will always be recompensed, which is a true source of comfort for believers.

In programming AI, the most efficient models give points to the AI for the right answers and subtract points if it made a wrong decision. In these lenses we can judge that coding intelligence into things will require motivation, the AI doesn’t want to lose points since it get rewarded for the maximum amount of points it collects through a trial, so we can judge that taking points from AI is “painful” and adding points to AI is “pleasurable” in a sense. This system is much more simplistic than the human pain and pleasure system, but it puts into prospective that the best and most efficient way even for humans to code intelligence is to use a simplified system of pain and pleasure. Jesse is a smart guy, and since he is a CS major he would realise that eventually hopefully.

[@tratdmr6537]

Yes. I am a revert and partially because of watching a tonn of "Teaching AI to ..." just for fun, which brought me to compare our world to it. It is a perfect example to show to people who position themselves as a "man of science" and denying even talking about God. But the truth is that science and religion aren't from different worlds. Science just answers "how?" while religion answers "why?".

the more pain you got. the more stronger you are. the more knowledge you got, the more humble you are ✍

[@RameshKumar-l3r2y]

Why did God create pain? Pain is undoubtedly important, but why use it as a path to total happiness? Imagine if there was only one color, like blue-representing happiness. If you were surrounded by blue your entire life, how would you truly appreciate its beauty? Without anything to compare it to, you wouldn’t know its value. In the same way, bliss without pain loses its meaning. Pain provides the contrast needed to fully experience and understand joy. Just as contrasting colors highlight the essence of blue, pain highlights the true depth and significance of happiness. I like your explanation and nature

The argument that why God creates pain in the first place is extremely weak. The reason is that the same people who make this argument, also argue that eternal pleasure in Paradise is extremely boring and painful. They claim that there is no way they would want to go to Paradise as eternal pleasure is just torture. So these Atheists won't be happy with whatever system you show them, neither would they propose a better system. It's a waste of time and never ending cycle

The Islamic answer for the existence of suffering is that this life is a test, and suffering such as a disease is part of the test. Suffering can be a means of purifying a soul.

[@SA-mn1ux]

To confine the answer of suffering to one point is diametrically opposed to the Holy Quran itself, which states many different arguments. These points are relevant to those who believe in God, but a person who does not believe in God does not believe that there is an intelligent force testing us at all so you cannot use that argument until you philosophically demonstrate that suffering please a important role in the grand scheme of things.

[@mohdfirdausaminddin3919]

​@@SA-mn1uxthe question in general is "if god exist, why is there pain and suffering". The existence of God is already assumed to be true within the question. Therefore the answer still holds. On the other hand, if one doesn't believe in God, they have no explanation on why something should or shouldn't exist anyway. So questioning something's existence in term of "why" is nonsense.

6:02 That's why I find the people who say that purpose of life is to have fun or do what you want is deeply problematic!!

I always find it ironic how we look for aliens and wonder about them ...when in reality we are the aliens , we are the odd ones in this life ....our souls, our minds, our consciousness, we're not like other creatures..... we long for perfection,for complete bliss, for ultimate justice ...and we hate pain and evil.... which is so unlike the world we live in ... our world is not perfect, it's not fair and it has lot of pain and suffering... so why are we fighting these things? We don't see cats struggling like we do ! They're fine with their lives, every creature around us is fine with what they have ... but we aren't, we long for something more , we feel we don't belong here... if we just look into ourselves, our minds..we can se that we are bigger then what this world has to offer, we don't belong here , we came from somewhere bigger then this ... we came from another realm , and we shall return there, this life is only a temporary passage, a test for our eternal souls ...

He is not human. He is a being from another race. In Islam we believe in humans, angels, and devils/jinn. They are all beings with souls and they will be judged in the afterlife, but they are created from different substances. Humans from clay, angels from light and the devils/ jinn from fire.

Simply means it's not literally a man with horns going around making people do stuff It's whispers of evil in the mind that one must fight, thus a metaphor

I posted the exact same question and it seems people are defending that here but that's ofc not true. The devil or shaytan or iblees is a creature and not a metaphor! so i don't see how he can say otherwise

[@BruceMaximusLee]

I also posted my concern about him talking about darwinian evolution and i will copy paste my comment here so u don't have to search for it. ​@rohaam_k1558 i guess i have to provide the timestamps. 1:41 he says: "we have evolved, only in the way of consciousness. That's the only way we're superior to other animals" so he sees human being as "other animals" and he thinks that consciousness evolved in us and was not given from the beginning. 12:34 he says: "the devil is not a person in islam", which im not sure whether he means shaitan does not exist or what exactly but that's not my main issue anyways, maybe he means something else. So i hope he didn't mean that in the sense of darwinian evolution but i have to say what i saw ofc.

Funnily enough how I found God was through trying to come up with a better system for us as humans. I tried for a very long time and wasn't able to and I just conceded that this current system was perfect and the only thing that made sense was that good is weak which is why evil has a stronger presence in our society. Stayed agnostic for while after that and eventually find my way to the truth which is Islam, receiving God's grace was the most profound experience I ever had in my whole life which is something you can't explain to those who have not and you can't even put it into words. Inshallah I really hope more atheist concede instead of staying in a state of arrogance because they don't like the idea of being judged.
