Ali Dawah Answered The Toughest Atheism Questions! - Only in 1 Minute
Published on
God Created Everything. So Who Created God ? You believe in God. So scientists couldn't figure that out. But you could is that right? If there is infinite time. Why not? Infinite possibilities. The moments he creates that,he becomes not powerful. Because he can't lift it. There's no such thing that exists. There was a study donein Oxford University by Justin Barrett. He found that young kids who were not taught about Islam or Christianity they all had inclination to believe in one God Ali Dawah you have one minute for each question. You ready? Are you ready? Can you prove God's existence in one minute? Let's look at Google.
In order for Google to exist we need the Internet in order for the internet to exist We need the computer or our telephones or our tablets In order for the computer to exist, There has to be a human beings that are created and etc. It relies on electricity. The question follows is the following. Google relies on the internet. The internet relies on the computer. The computer relies on us and electricity. And this goes on. We cannot have an infinite regress of dependent things. We require a place where it all stops and makes sense, which is independent self-sufficient, necessary being. Which is God. Why can't the "necessary being" be the universe ?
Well, that's good that you say that because first it shows that you acknowledge with me that we require a necessary being. That's good. All you've done is applied this this to the universe, and we say that contradicts the necessary being because this is independent, self-sufficient, and is necessary. The universe is not self-sufficient and dependent. It's opposite so you can't have this be that because it contradicts. Can God create a rock that he can't lift? I mean this is an an invalid question when people ask this question is like a valid question. I can ask the question can God cease exist Of course not. As contradictory It's like me saying how many days in a week ?yes or no ? Yes or no?
It's not a yes or a no question. I have to ask how many days a week ? Seven. So the point is this the question is invalid, so for you to say: Can God create a rock so big that he can't lift. Then the moment he creates that, he became not powerful because he can't lift it. There is no such thing that exists. It's just a question that is asked for the sake of it. Can there be more than one creator? No, because then we go back to the argument of necessary being. If there was more than one creator, then the question is how could you have one necessary being which is self-sufficient, independent, If there is another Creator then it's dependent It's not that the story anymore.
So the question is: if there was two creators, firstly Allah says in the Quran, they would fight each other for the power. Yeah. So that shows two Powers fighting each other are dependent because they require more power to kill the other one So that's why we believe there has to be one necessary being. That is self-sufficient independent and necessary. God created everything. So who created God ? Well the question is invalid. Once again it's an invalid question. Just because somebody asked the question doesn't mean it's a valid question, because what we see is we see cause and effect within our universe.
It requires a designer to come and say, who created that Designer is you haven't understood who the designer is. It goes back at the issue of the necessary being what's the attributes? It's independent. It's self-sufficient. it is necessary if you acknowledge these actually just three things. You need to acknowledge that the question of who created God. "Can God make a rock so that he can't lift?" "Can God cease to exist?" are questions that are not valid It doesn't exist. The question you asking there is no such thing. Because if there was a God that created him, then he becomes dependent now He's not self-sufficient anymore.
So what we say is that this Creator as long as this necessary being is independent, is self-sufficient, is necessary, everything stops there. Why Islam when there is many other religions? Well that's a question I asked myself before I came to Islam, "why Islam?" and when I did my research and what I was born with fitrah. There was a study done in Oxford University by Justin Barrett. He found that young kids who are not taught about Islam or Christianity or any other religion, they all had the inclination to believe in one God not two not three. So to me I had that in myself to believe in one God.
But the question was "Why Islam?" I asked that same question to myself, and when I looked into it, I realized true monotheism in its true sense, because if you go to the questions, they say we are monotheists and they believe three in one, you go to Hindus, they say we believe 1 million Gods as one. The point is this pure monotheism in this worship and understanding of who God is is only in Islam. Not only that also when it comes to the quran, it is the only scripture on this planet that is being preserved and has Miracles that we can see. For example if I go to a Christian and I say, look, I want to believe in Christianity. Show me.
You said, Jesus gave a life to the dead And this that, with the permission of God, show me. If you go to the Jesus and say, Moses did that, show me. Can they show you? No, they can't. If they come and say to us, what's the miracle of the Quran? We say, here is the Koran and can show you, touch it you can feel it, you can analyze it. Why? Because also we learn from this. The Quran is for all mankind. And you can see it , you can hear it, you can examine it. But the Miracles that the other prophets done, you can never prove that. That's why that was for that time specifically. And the Quran is for all times because we have a method and oral tradition, which is the Quran.
which we and many Generations after us can examine. And that's what I did, before I came to Islam. I examined it. I read it, I looked at the prophecies, I looked at the Miracles, I said, this can be no other than by from Allah. You told us that there are miracles of the Quran. Can you please just tell us one Miracle of Quran? I am going to be generous. I am going to give you three. You have to be generous sometimes in life. You know, the first one is, I think, very profound. The very important, because what we are told, for example, that in Surah Al-Masad Allah Subhana watala was talking about Abu lahab.
And this is very interesting because Abu Lahab could make one statement and the whole of Islam will fall on the ground. Allah says in the Quran Abu lahab and his wife, that they are going into the fire, Hellfire. They're going to die as disbelievers enter the Hellfire Now, if you think about it, Abu lahab, he had to do one thing and disprove Islam. Because the quran clears. You're going to go Hell Fire, you and your wife, and you're going to die as a disbeliever. So the thing is this. They could have Abu lahab could have said, ''hold on a second. There you go, your religion is false because your religion says, I'm going Hellfire. Your religion says I'm going to die as a disbeliever.
I accept Islam.'' He didn't do it He died as a disbeliever. To me, that is a profound because he had to do one statement to disprove the whole... He Wanted To... They wanted to stop, the Prophet Muhammad, with everything he just had to do. 10 seconds of the Shahada and crumble the whole religion. He didn't. Number two, there is an evidence, for example, Allah Subhana Watala talk about in the Quran, about the time of Moses and the time of Yusuf alayhi salaam and Allah talks at the time of Yusuf alayhi salaam he calls the ruler a king. At the time of Moses, he calls him pharaoh. But in the Bible they call the time of Yusuf alayhi salaam and they call him pharaoh.
And at the time of Moses of the call him a pharaoh. This is a historical error because when they deciphered the Rosetta stone, it's a thing to understand the Egyptian hieroglyphics. They found out that there was no pharaohs at the time of Joseph. This dynasty didn't exist There was Kings how did the Quran know this ? And they say the Quran copies the Bible. Why didn't the Quran copy the mistake? And how did it know that at the time of Joseph the ruler is a king, there's not pharaohs? How did they know that ? that's number two. Number three. Allah Subhana Watala says in the Surrah Ar-Rum the Romans have been defeated. The historians say the way the Romans got defeated by the persinans.
It's impossible to think, let alone them coming back to win. For them to even exist, Allah subhana watala says in the Quran. The Romans have been defeated, but they are going to win. That's a big statement that's like saying me. You guys together, we are going to take over the USA and we're going to beat Trump It's crazy. It's a big gamble. And after three to seven years or three to nine years, the Romans come and defeat the Persians. These are historical. And these are just some. There are hundreds. Hundreds. I'm giving you just three And I can go on. You believe in God. So scientists couldn't figure that out, but you could. Is that right? It's not about I could. We use our logic.
We use our brain, the science deals with the five senses. What you can see empiricism. So what we say is very simple. There are scientists who believe in things. If you are talking about, for example, I don't see God, that's why, you know, I don't believe in it. You know, it's not something science doesn't talk about the supernatural. It stops the physical. But we know, for example, scientists have discovered recently dark matter dark matter is something they cannot see, they cannot touch, they cannot feel, they cannot smell, they cannot hear. So the same thing with God. Can you see God? No. Can you touch God? No. Can you smell.? No. Can you hear God? No. Can you see God? No.
But you reject he exists. But the same thing with dark matter. You. Same thing. But you say no. Dark Matter exists. What kind of contradiction is this? First God doesn't exist because I can't sense touch, feel. But dark matter. Contradiction. Why do you have double standards? This is the issue as a scientist, not something I discovered new. I use my logical reasoning, rationality to come to simple conclusions. And I don't need to be a scientist. I don't care how much of a scientist you are. You know, there were people who believed in God. That was scientist, you know, like Einstein. You know, he did he did believe in a higher power.
So this is issue of science or scientists and God is not contradictory. You can have scientist who are Muslim or scientists who are Christian. So yeah, it's not discovery. Are you brave enough to talk with famous atheists? What would you do if you encountered them I have no problem because to be honest, I don't care what atheist you are how scientists professors , I don't care the same thing applies. You know I bring the same arguments and you have to answer them. I don't care because what I'm on, I know I am 100% so surely logically, rationally that there is no way you can get out of it, except that you accept being a deist minimum. Maybe theist, we can work on. Deism.
So I don't care if you are a professor, I don't care is irrelevant as long as you have Brain i hope so. We can reason then 100% there is no way they can go. If there is infinite time. Why not infinite possibilities? It's a good question. I have to drink my water to answer this this glass is empty. Yes, empty. If we said infinite time, because their argument here is you give an infinite amount of time, anything can happen. This is a fallacy because to make the properties argument's sake. If I like chocolate cheesecake, not chocolate cheesecake. Let's talk Turkish. Yeah. A nice sutlac ( Turkish dessert ).
If I want to have a sutlac in here and I say, let's give it an infinite time, would I ever get sutlac ? And by the way, I like my sutlac Burnt on the top. let's be specific. Would we ever get it ? No, because the equation of time is irrelevant if the components to make a sutlac the way I like is not in there you will never get a sutlac. It's as simple as that Time is irrelevant. What's time got to do with it? Let's give it infinite amount of time. Would you get Ferrari ? No, give infinite time. Will we get universe ? No, because the properties to make the universe or a Ferrari or my sutlac which is more important is not in there So if it's not in there, you will never get it.
but hopefully after this I will get a sutlac. -okay. Our questions are complete so that's why I want to ask you a question. And why did you not accept Islam after I've answered all of them? I mean, Repeat after me ; ''ashhadu Alla... We are Muslim Alhamdulillah We are Muslim. It was a pleasure guys. As you can see here, we're having biscuits, Turkish tea. You know, I feel have to come often here. Please, let's make it regular To the next time. Assalamu alaikum
