00:00we believe in life after death etc all these things are matters of the unseen which means
00:10we cannot guess at them you need revelation other things we can guess make educated guesses of course
00:16but matters of the unseen we can only take from revelation so Allah is the creator for us we
00:23accept the creator but if he didn't tell us when we don't hazard a guess and ultimately what's her
00:29name my friend JJ JJ I'm Gerry what nice to meet you bro when the universe is created it doesn't
00:37really matter for you and me because it makes no substantial difference whatsoever six million
00:43years ago or 600 million years ago or even yesterday and we just came into existence with
00:48all this historical illusion in our mind it doesn't matter what matters for us is purpose
00:54would you agree I think what matters most is just your contribution to the banner I guess yes
01:03yeah you cause better to cause less suffering
01:09we agree yeah I mean one of the principles of Islam is to minimize harm for everyone not for animals
01:18not for animals unfortunately oh yes for animals but I mean people kill them I'm guessing you haven't
01:24researched Islam too much I've watched a few a few videos online and I started reading the Quran but
01:31yeah I found it quite boring no offense okay so do you what do you think about the idea that there's only
01:37one God um I think there are no gods yeah I know I know but where I'm going with you is the idea of God you reject
01:45maybe you're supposed to reject yeah because it might be an idea from another tradition or something you've
01:52come up with yourself because the Islamic concept of God is very coherent you know when we say God is one
01:58we mean it we say Allah is one and totally unique in all his attributes yeah are you from a Christian
02:05background no um just atheists okay so when the Christians say that God is one and three
02:12this we reject when the Christians say Jesus is the son of God this we reject do the Christians believe
02:19God's in three pieces not they don't say three pieces but they believe in the trinity exactly holy spirit
02:27basically look we don't call Allah father because it's not a name he's revealed for himself but when
02:34they talk about the father they are talking about Allah however like the lady says they also make
02:40Jesus the so-called son and the holy spirit co-equal with the father as they say this we say is against
02:49pure monotheism you know also the idea God has a son because when we have children our children are the
02:57same genus as us without fail and the same for the animal kingdom yeah children are the same genus as
03:03the the parents that beget them so if God had a son what would it have to be by definition
03:09it would have to be a second God wouldn't it
03:14and the attributes God must have by nature meaning has to be unique because you cannot have two all
03:23powerful beings can you even in theory you can't can you have two can you have two beings who are
03:31the most high and above everyone and everything else yeah you can't no I mean no no I'm talking about a
03:42different actually I'm talking most high being above the most high has to be one yeah can you have two
03:48beings who are absolutely sovereign with total and absolute control over the universe
03:53maybe a bit maybe a bit Chris a bit difficult wouldn't it you know the Quran actually says this
03:59it agrees to exactly what you said in one verse Allah says had there been more gods with him
04:05each God would have struggled to overcome the other and the heavens and the earth would have been ruined
04:09but we don't have that we have harmony and we have constant harmony the sun does what it does over
04:15and over again but it'll fail same with the moon yeah you know it will stop doing it eventually
04:20yes when Allah wills it will yeah we have we have that concept as well but at the moment it's a
04:26conscripted soldier it clearly doesn't have a will of its own it's under orders because it's like
04:31clockwork doing the same thing over and over again yeah so that's why we reject the idea of the son of
04:38God because it's essentially saying there's another God and if God has one son then why isn't there
04:43more why can't he have daughters what about his parents now you've fallen into ludicrousness
04:48ridiculousness makes sense yeah you know we gotta go now no worries can I give you a copy of the
04:54Quran to take away I've actually already got a copy okay take this one with you bro
04:57easy reading for you all the best
05:03yeah
