In this podcast, I talk about a video that was released by a Muslim YouTuber about God and why he believes in Him. I also talk about the importance of looking within yourself to find the answer to the question, "Where did I come from?"
00:00:00.000Not only does it encourage you to read, it tells you how many verses you've read, how many pages you've read, how long you've been on it, and best of all, the Hasana counter.
00:00:07.420Download the Qur'ani app now and have a Ramadan with Allah's book like you've never had before.
00:00:30.000Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends, hope you guys are well inshaAllah.
00:00:39.880So I was sent this video from somebody who sent it and this is from a YouTuber called IamLucid or something like that.
00:00:46.260He's somebody, apparently he lives some kind of a Muslim lifestyle.
00:00:50.520He released this video about God Almighty and I find it very interesting and I thought let me listen to it because it seems very sincere.
00:00:55.140And let's see what advice we can give to him inshaAllah.
00:00:57.260I believe in God. Now that statement itself is considered controversial in the year 2021.
00:01:03.240For some reason, me telling you that I believe that there's a higher power above all human beings that have created us and fashioned us so perfectly.
00:01:12.960It's somehow going to get somebody on the other side of this screen, maybe even across the world, really triggered, upset, and so mad to the point where they might unsubscribe and that's okay.
00:01:21.960The reason that I made this channel was so that I can keep it real with you.
00:01:24.280I can tell you exactly what I feel and so that you can watch it.
00:02:26.260Because if I pull out a book and I show you this book was written by author A.
00:02:30.920And then you can tell that this book was written by a human being, right?
00:02:34.720Because there was a form of intelligence that was written down on this piece of paper.
00:02:37.820And you can tell that another human being wrote this.
00:02:41.040And then if I give you a sample of DNA and you see all of the amazing, wondrous things that happen inside of our own bodies that we can't even fully comprehend,
00:02:49.760that it takes years and years of schooling to kind of even get a grasp at,
00:02:53.620we look at all of the mechanisms in our body that help fight diseases, that help fight cancer,
00:02:57.920and we think that there was no intelligence that made us.
00:04:30.720And that's what made the most sense to me.
00:04:33.040But somebody says, can God create a rock so heavy that he himself cannot lift?
00:04:37.800I love the question because it really stumped me for a long time.
00:04:42.460Can God create a rock so heavy that he himself can't lift because it's so heavy?
00:04:46.920The question itself is flawed because you're asking the question as if God's a human being, as if God's immortal, as if God has a weight limit.
00:05:50.260But then if God is everything, which I thought for a long time, multiple years, but that still means that I can point at God, which is already an understatement to what it is.
00:06:00.140Because if I can point at God and I'm this 3D temporary living object, then that can't be right, because that's an understatement to something that is totally infinite.
00:06:10.480So these questions that I was asking this entire time, they were all flawed questions.
00:06:15.360God isn't comprehensible by our temporary mind.
00:06:28.840And after years and years of thinking about this question, of spinning around in my own mind, I eventually came to the conclusion that there is a God.
00:06:38.660There's no way that we're living in this temporary body this entire time for no reason.
00:06:42.900There's no way that the sun is the exact distance from the earth.
00:06:46.720And it hasn't burned up the earth yet.
00:06:48.540And it hasn't froze it off because it's too far away.
00:06:50.440There's no way that all of these things, everywhere from the ant kingdom to the human kingdom, that everything is working in perfect balance.
00:06:59.140Also, one more thing that someone pointed out to me is when the moon eclipses, for example, with the sun, when that happens, if you notice, the moon fully covers the sun.
00:07:12.060That means the distance between the moon and the sun is in such a calculation because otherwise the sun would have outshined the moon if it was like that.
00:07:22.220But it's in such a distance that the moon fully closes off the sun, if that makes sense, which is something that I found profound as well.
00:07:31.920And then people ask the question, so if God's good, then why is there evil in this world?
00:07:36.580Why is there bad stuff like death and bad people?
00:07:40.540Well, you have to understand God created evil because if there was no evil, then there would be no good.
00:07:46.220The law of polarity states that there has to be an opposite for everything, especially for us to understand and comprehend it.
00:07:51.420If there was no night time, there would be no day time.
00:07:54.640If there was no white, there would be no black.
00:07:56.580If there was no blue, there would be no red.
00:07:58.480It's like saying, how could you know what beautiful is if you've never seen ugly?
00:08:01.520Good wouldn't exist because what can you compare it to?
00:08:05.740That's how we're tested as human beings, whether you believe that this life is a test or not.
00:08:09.300It's because we have the option of the same spectrum to choose up, down, left or right.
00:08:15.000And if we didn't have the choice, what's the point?
00:08:18.100It makes no sense if it was any other way.
00:08:20.600That's the kind of thinking that I've came to over the last four years of definitely going back and forth with myself in my own head about God's existence.
00:08:29.600Me posting this video itself is going to rile some people up and this does not give anybody the okay to go fight about religious debates in the comments.
00:08:37.640I'm just explaining why I believe that there is a source to everything.
00:08:41.940Now, I think he said more than enough.
00:08:44.060I mean, there's nothing that I could add on to that, that this guy's an intelligent person.
00:08:47.180So there's nothing really I can add on.
00:08:49.380But one thing that I would say to this brother is I would like to meet him if he would like to come to Speaker's Corner and have a discussion with him or anywhere.
00:08:55.460But I want to tell him why Islam is unique in monotheism compared to all religions.
00:08:59.880There was a study done by Justin Barter, if I think that's his name, in Oxford University.
00:09:04.200They found out that children who are not exposed to any kind of religion, they grow up worshipping one God.
00:09:10.560Islam is the only religion that has come to negate, negate all kinds of worship other than except to God.
00:09:19.040So Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity and many other religions and paganism, they all have some way of associating partners.
00:09:36.020Islam says it has this unique way of worshipping God.
00:09:39.540You single him out in his lordship and he's the one who has created heavens and earth and who provides and sustains us.
00:09:47.580And a lot of people fell into associating partners in this second matter, which is Tawheed Al-Ulahiyah,
00:09:53.500which is that they would associate partners by going through Jesus or going through a statue or going through this or that person, this idol.
00:10:00.600Islam says you single him out in worship.
00:10:16.680And I would urge you to read the Quran and I can send you some material.
00:10:19.440Please get in contact with me because you're in the right course and the biggest form of injustice in this life is to associate partners to God Almighty.
00:10:27.720After everything that you believe that he's created and all the things that he does for us, he is deserving of worship.
00:10:33.780I'm not going to keep this video long.
