Yasir Qadhi: The Verse of the Covenant (7:172) | Ibn Taymiyya | The Academy and the Madrasa

Yasir appearing on the show is a surprise

[@eladdad]

a very nice one

[@celestialknight2339]

A surprise for us, but not for them apparently. As he stated, they’ve known each other since graduate studies!

But He is most gymnast Sheikh ever ; remember how blander he did with moh #hijab , he through the Quran under bus to defend #Umayyad #Quraish

[@eladdad]

@@obaidulhaque7687 brother, one should be careful about saying stuff like that, these are serious allegations in front of God. Listen to what Dr. Qadhi said regarding these accusations and judge for yourself. Even if the allegations are true, youtube comments is not the place for it. God will ask for what you say on the day of judgement, remember that.

[@CourtOfKnowledge]

@@Emilybronte-o3qwe do know this though. The prophet ﷺ did not know how to read nor write proven historically. Moreover you will find that early Islamic figures (from before 300 years after the prophet ﷺ) hated philosophy and its use in theology. Rather early Muslim scholars only stuck to the Quran and Sunnah without delving in to philosophical explanations of theology

@@kschacherer92 My point is if you think Jesus is the son of God, even though there is no evidence for this, then you will think Christianity is right and other religions are wrong. The same about Islam they think Mohamed existed and the Quran is directly from God, and everyone else must be wrong.

[@yasirb321]

Really fascinating, thank you 😊. I have no formal training but kind of wonder if both interpretations make sense in that God transcends time and space? Nonetheless, this would align with Ibn Taymiyyahs view more or less. Further I wonder if the viewpoint is that God would not necessarily allocate a fixed number of souls but rather the world ends due to the fault of mankind. Ibn Tamymiyyah also famously supported universal salvation and from that view each soul is ultimately a positive thing.

[@A.--.]

Which mutawatir narrations

[@Kalle-z1o]

Did you talk about the holes?

[@SharpKnife523]

Breaking away from the traditional line of thinking and speaking his mind is GREAT for Ibn Taymiyah but if Javed Ahmed Ghamidi does that in 21st century, he is an outcast. Amazing!! 😊

[@markward3981]

Not that I agree with everything Ibn Taymiyyah Saïd but remember he was rejected in his time by many and jailed more than once I think

[@2812Summons]

Rāzī has sometimes quoted Zamakhsharī, so what Shaikh meant is that Rāzī never quoted him while discussing the verse.

[@KazzC]

In Yasir Qadhi’s version of John 3:16 he says ‘that god so loved the world that he sent continuous prophets unto us’. Question who is the prophet after Muhammad if they are continuous as you claim @Yasir Qadhi

[@dom3073]

muhammad (p) is the last prophet (33:40) and Quran final revelation (5:3)

[@Stardust475]

Khatam al Anbiya was the Messiah! As Tertullian noted. Mani later claimed to be seal of the prophets, too. 'An eternal justice was manifested. A Holy one of Holies was anointed that is Christ and sealed was vision and prophecy and sins were forgiven. Therefore, since the prophecy was fulfilled through his advent. Vision and prophecy were sealed because he is the Seal of all Prophets. Fulfilling all things which in days bygone they had announced of him.' ~ Tertullian

[@dom3073]

@@Stardust475 Tertullian did not meet any apostle, so his words are only conjecture. Also if there was no prophet after Jesus that would contradict John 16:7-14 and John 1:21

[@Stardust475]

@dom3073 This is a lack understanding of those verses in their context. Because you cherrypick regaarding the remaining verses about the Holy Spirit, nor do you understand the tripartite Jesus in Quran.

[@dom3073]

@@Stardust475 John 1:21 clearly tells you theres a prophet whos not Jesus, nor John the baptist but someone else. In other words theyre expecting another prophet after Jesus and John. Thats why they asked John, are you the Messiah? He said no. Are you Elijah, he said no. Are you the Prophet, he said no. Which meams the Elijah, the Messiah and the Prophet are three different ppl.

[@jacobogutierrezsanchez]

Very interesting the similarity with the Christian tradition that has been called "Reformed Episthemology" (Although, it has been recognized that it is not only of the reformed tradition).

[@BSKX17]

academy, as opposed to the madrasa.

[@KaisarasAR]

"Academy" refers to the historical-critical study of islam (or any other religion btw) in opposition to the "Madrasa", the traditional teological study of islam.

[@aliahmed800]

As in Academia

[@A.--.]

Guys: take all the Deviations, Bidha and Sectarianism in Islam and analyze them for 2 commandments of Allah (17:36, 3:7) and you will see they disobeyed in one of these. Note: the topic he is about to delve into is a Mutashabihat and lets see if they violate 3:7.

[@SharpKnife523]

Javed Ahmed Ghamidi considers Fitrah as the first source of revelation for human beings. The revelations given to the Messengers are the details of that first revelation. He has done a five hour program in which he showed how Fitrah plays a fundamental role in understanding the teachings of Islam.

[@emranba-abbad8335]

I don't say this as criticism just as truth for those who hold one scholar as absolute. May Allah increase us in knowledge.

[@abbasr.7422]

Then, according to ib Taymiyya, how do you use the fitra to "prove" God? Wouldn't it be subjective?

[@youteubakount4449]

@@hidir3532 And how do you prove "proving".

[@abdulwahub8987]

Fitra will tell you if your belief is right or problematic. For example many Christians have problem with the worship of a man or trinity without any exposure to Quran, or looking at the sky when hoping for miracle or divine help. To prove god you need the scripture and intellectual as well on top of fitra.

Question 1: why do you guys like to put Ibn Taymia or any scholar on top of our head as a source? We dont follow any scholars we follow Evidence. If Muslims just followed these 2 verses they would be in a better place: 1) 17:36....dont follow amything without Evidence. 2) 3:7....dont delve into Mutashabihat. All your scholars and saints can go to hell if they deviate from any Quranic advise. Guys: we need to study Tafseer according to how the Approved among the first 3 generations interpreted them. Anyone after that could be questioned.

[@al.masihi]

Great content brother Gabriel even though it is clear that Yasir is still very careful not to get backlash from Muslims. Romans 1:20 actually provided the answer long before Ibn Taymiyah and ibn sina to correct them both

Challenge: find those "holes" for us, you're putting too many strawmen. What was the context of the dialogue between him and Hijab?

The only time ibn Taymia became "nimble" was when he disoveyed 3:7 LoL 🤣😆

Aha! So the 40 narrations are not reliable LoL 🤣 i was right! Most likely the Sahaba didnt say these things beacuse they know not to disobey 3:7 like all these other "scholars" including Qadi did. Thats why im warning everyone against scholarly opinions without evidences
