In Sikki, the souls of the animals is similar to the souls of the human.
00:00:06.040
So the difference between me and God is I have to be here to hear this conversation.
00:00:11.140
Yeah, because you're explaining that he doesn't have to be anywhere,
00:00:13.180
but we're saying he's everywhere and anywhere, but he's not at one point either.
00:00:18.040
It's true that if you stun the halal meat, it's not halal anymore.
00:00:20.560
Yeah, because in this country they stun the meat, don't they?
00:00:28.140
They specialize in premium Ethiopian black seed products.
00:00:31.440
Their products are fantastic health supplements and also from the sunnah.
00:00:36.900
Here's the, in Sikki, the souls of the animals is similar to the souls of the human.
00:00:43.480
It's like a, what do you call it, brief way of saying it, right?
00:00:52.880
We don't believe it's, I don't think we believe,
00:01:17.400
is that we are, we can be better than the angels or worse than the animals.
00:01:20.800
If we act on our desires, I want this, I want that.
00:01:23.320
What's the difference between you and an animal?
00:01:29.060
not because you have no free will and you're forced to like the angels,
00:01:45.120
We have hadith from Banu Israel, from the children of Israel.
00:01:49.060
There's certain things that we take from their sayings.
00:01:51.140
There was a woman who helped, she was a prostitute.
00:01:53.680
She would commit a sin, but she helped the dog by getting her shoe and putting it down the wheel and fed the dog.
00:02:01.440
And then we know of a woman who tortured a cat and she was doomed to the hellfire.
00:02:09.580
Well, it's not a matter of if they feel pain or not, but you're not allowed to make them suffer.
00:02:13.080
Of course they feel pain, but you shouldn't make them suffer for no reason.
00:02:16.180
Even when it comes to sorting an animal, it has to be done in a specific way.
00:02:20.660
You have to be gentle, close their eyes, don't sharpen your knife so that it's immediate death.
00:02:25.080
Other animals don't see it, you know, it has to be, you know.
00:02:29.760
What about in seetism, how does it work for a certain animal?
00:02:34.860
If you get a sharp sore, you'll behead it really quickly.
00:02:44.300
I've seen videos on it, it's a lot slower because you've got to drain the blood out.
00:02:47.200
But the thing is, what it is, is both of them, the jugular vein is gone.
00:02:53.400
Yeah, with us, for example, it's like, if you, because the jugular vein, as long as the jugular vein is cut, that's it.
00:03:05.240
But like we know, as soon as the blood and the oxygen doesn't go to the brain, you're gone.
00:03:10.240
Is it true that if you stun the halal meat, it's not halal anymore?
00:03:12.800
Yeah, because in this country they stun the meat, don't they?
00:03:17.620
And the animal dies, you're not allowed to eat dead animals if they're not slaughtered.
00:03:24.740
Okay, apply to this time because the technology stunt did not exist.
00:03:27.900
No, no, yeah, but the thing is, if you're stunning it to death, you can't eat the animal.
00:03:32.120
But if you're stunning it and it's not dead, it's still alive, there's a different opinion where it says, okay, you cut the throat while it's still alive, but it's stunted.
00:03:39.180
So how do you think Islam, so do you think Islam can be applied to the modern world we live in?
00:03:46.600
Because at the end of the day, it depends what we're living in.
00:03:50.460
If we're living in times of where certain things are okay, but just because they're made okay doesn't mean it's okay.
00:03:56.520
Like, for example, I don't know, certain things.
00:04:01.940
It's just our subjective things have changed, our perception, our morals have changed.
00:04:06.860
So that's why we look at Islam as something abnormal.
00:04:10.820
Do you think Islam is the final religion around?
00:04:20.040
Because I'm sure, you go back to my first question, really.
00:04:23.560
You said there's some revelations that have happened.
00:04:30.360
Islam explicitly says that the prophet is the final messenger.
00:04:34.300
Any evidence about it that he's the final messenger?
00:04:36.320
And not just him claiming he's the final messenger.
00:04:39.580
Is there any evidence about it that your prophet is the definite final messenger?
00:05:06.860
The revelation that he's come with, that was given to him.
00:05:17.800
And if this is assessed, and we don't find any flaws in it,
00:05:22.240
the question that needs to be asked is, okay, what else can this be?
00:05:26.140
If he was a man who was a liar, the pagan Arabs offered him everything.
00:05:43.120
I can't get my head around miracles personally.
00:05:55.460
We don't believe that divinity belongs to anyone except God Almighty.
00:05:58.560
So, the thing is that miracles are done via the permission of God.
00:06:07.000
This is where Christians went astray because they'll see Jesus do miracles.
00:06:20.840
Why is it that Jesus all of a sudden does it himself?
00:06:23.480
So, that's why we say that miracles, for example, we believe the biggest miracle is the Quran.
00:06:30.660
The Quran is a living miracle where you can analyze it.
00:06:35.060
If it's not from God, you'll find errors, contradictions.
00:06:38.200
So, the Quran is itself something that you can test.
00:06:40.620
But if a Christian comes to an atheist, the atheist is going to say, how can I test that Jesus did this and this?
00:06:52.480
So, for example, if you're not an Arabic-speaking person, you're not going to be able to meet the challenge of bringing something like it because you don't speak Arabic.
00:06:57.780
Like you said, there's some things that we debate about free will that we can never test ourselves.
00:07:02.200
Without free will, it goes back to the attribute of God.
00:07:04.480
So, do you not admit that there's some still blind people?
00:07:08.900
Because if it's absolute blind faith, that's wrong.
00:07:12.040
But if there's a certain question that's being answered, a lot of them are being answered.
00:07:16.180
And there's certain elements where this is actually, like, if you know everything about God, if God knows everything, and you want to know everything God knows, then what's the difference between you and God?
00:07:31.120
But if someone comes and says, yeah, faith, faith, faith, flipping out, the whole religion is faith.
00:07:37.280
Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of the night and day, there are signs for those who think.
00:07:50.220
So, Allah is saying, use your intellect, look around, yeah?
00:07:53.120
In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of the night and day, there are signs for those who think.
00:07:57.620
So, God is not telling you blind faith, yes, I believe.
00:08:01.360
But there's certain things that you're not going to know, that are unseen.
00:08:03.840
Do you not claim that Islam has the whole truth?
00:08:05.480
No, no, no, we claim Islam has the absolute truth, but what we're saying is, if you're, no, no, no, but there's certain truths that you're not aware of, which can be that, for example, where is God?
00:08:16.280
So, is that a question that makes Islam false if I don't answer it?
00:08:21.120
What's, what's, what's, what's, we don't believe that.
00:08:24.240
We don't, we don't, we believe his knowledge is everywhere, but we don't believe he is everywhere.
00:08:28.440
We think his knowledge is part of his properties, therefore it's part of his, yeah, of course, but he doesn't need to be here to know.
00:08:35.780
This discussion, so Allah says in the Quran, that if there's two of you, he's the third.
00:08:42.240
Meaning that he knows what we're talking about.
00:08:48.880
He knows, but he doesn't need to be here to know that.
00:08:51.020
His power is that, he doesn't require, I have to be here to hear.
00:08:58.780
Yeah, we say he can do that without being here.
00:09:05.700
Like everything, anything that the most smallest, he's aware.
00:09:12.380
So the difference between me and God is I have to be here to hear this conversation.
00:09:16.420
Yeah, because you're explaining that he doesn't have to be anywhere, but we're saying he's
00:09:20.180
everywhere and anywhere, but he's not at one point either.
00:09:28.400
Yeah, but we're saying that he doesn't require, if we say he needs to be everywhere or he is
00:09:33.680
everything, then I'm going to say, for example, in toilet.
00:09:44.540
Your view, Allah, it's not going to be able to explain that.
00:09:50.140
So, yeah, with us, it's like, we don't believe, okay, there's dirty place on earth.
00:09:54.740
So we just say, we believe the way we praise him and glorify him is to acknowledge that he's
00:10:00.960
aware of everything, but he's not in the creation.
00:10:08.880
That's the thing I'll talk to him about, like, our ideas of God are still pretty different.
00:10:12.160
Like, we believe God's everywhere and within everything.
00:10:15.020
We don't believe everything has God's power within us.
00:10:17.460
I could be correct if I'm wrong here, from Sikhs, but.
00:10:19.800
But the thing is, like, what would I say is, is that there's, there's, there's, we should
00:10:25.260
come to a common agreement wherever the truth is.
00:10:28.920
So, I would say, does God need to be everywhere to know things?
00:10:43.660
From my point of view, that's assuming that God needs to, has the concept of knowledge
00:10:48.580
God could just have a different concept of knowledge.
00:10:57.800
But if he's the creation, then the creation had a beginning.
00:11:05.280
But then you get the whole idea where God had the beginning.
00:11:07.100
Like you said, you get the infinite loop of God.
00:11:11.560
If he's in the creation, is God infinite or finite?
00:11:17.740
If he's infinite, then he can never be in the finite.
00:11:29.040
Because you can find zero and keep going forever.
00:11:31.540
But what we're saying is there was no beginning and there was no end.
00:11:36.680
We sort of say that he was timeless, a god, a terror.
00:11:40.580
But the universe came about from the beginning.
00:11:44.460
Is he still a part of the creation of the universe?
00:11:52.460
So what we're saying is that he's not a part of it because he gave rise to something.
00:11:55.660
So how can he be a part of something that he gave rise to?
00:12:00.920
So then how can that finite thing be a part of it when it's infinite?
00:12:14.560
You get infinitely close to something and you eventually close to something that's finite.
00:12:24.120
Because I believe math is the only real truth in the world.
00:12:41.940
There's only thing that can be proved true, though, in my opinion.
00:12:45.540
But how could math, for example, in mathematics,
00:13:00.200
It's not something that we can empirically see.
00:13:05.940
However, there is certain things that, for example...
00:13:11.440
Zero, mathematically, can zero give rise to one?
00:13:20.620
So then there is certain laws, even in mathematics.
00:13:29.160
What I'm trying to say is, in my personal views,
00:13:31.520
I think math is both a way of humans describing nature,
00:13:38.740
I think it's the only universal truth out there
00:14:00.680
No, but see, that's the thing, infinitely close.
00:14:13.020
Not really, because if you take away from infinite,
00:14:15.680
If you add to infinite, it's not infinite anymore.
00:14:27.660
We believe we're thinking about math and infinity.
00:14:30.900
we're just saying that we just believe God is eternal.
00:14:47.820
Because I heavily think math is the only truth.
00:15:02.540
Because I think God communicates to us to math,
00:15:08.440
It tells us some mathematical pattern in the Quran.
00:15:25.200
It understands us to show the magnificence of God.
