Note: I am not refuting or anything the person in the video. But I will leave it to your individual discretion.
As salam 'alaykum warahamtu-llah
I have seen you before coming up with these type of things.
these type of copying, cutting, pasting things can easily make someone some thing else.
however, my point is not that.
there are some sunnah of Allah, that what He does or says, He never changes.
like Allah said, once He forgives you, He never recalls it. Likewise we human can't do the things, no matter how long the times has passed and we forgive someone, when situation comes we recall it.
that doesn't mean that Allah doesn't know what we did and for what he forgave us.
by these example, I think he indicated this thing. becaue the point was refuting the claims of atheist that God can do anything, like massacre or whatever bad.
He can do anything but He also doesn't leave his sunnah, because thats His promise, which He can not leave. we human can.
let me give you an example, seeing the videos of Dr. Zakir, everyone ponders on convincing people to Islam by science. but no one mentions, what Dr. Zakir says, ALWAYS "Quran is a book of signs, not science" and then he says, yet Quran in 1000 verses says about science. but when people imitates him, doesn't mention it or neither recall, because actually they are convinced by logic in Islam not in faith.
everything of our faith is not based on logic,in human perspective.
there is something in our faith which is based on Ghaib 'unseen'. Suratul bakarah verse 3
so we have to have faith in ghaib, which in no logic can be proved, and thats the faith.
otherwise how can you explain jannah and Naar?
however, Dr. Zakir never said, he believes or people to believe in Islam for Logic, his some lectures which are like Islam and modern Science, he mentioned, otherwise go for his other lectures, he never mentions these.
I have not missed a single lecture session of Dr. Zakir, so i know it better, if you want to come to a point, go for that first, dont trust everything what you see in youtube. the very lectures clips are been cut and pasted, every single lectures i have seen, i never went in a concept of logic. when people see one QA or small part, he/she may think that Dr. Zakir is inviting to logical Islam.
yes our religion is logical, but there are some points also which are unseen, no logic can prove it.
because Allah knows the best.
my point was not refuting you.
that what you can take as sincere advice, because, i dont reply to threads, doesn't mean that i don't read threads.
JazakAllah Khair
BarakAllahu feekum to sister Hajjer and sister Harb, which shows our humbleness and sincerity towards Islam.
of course Allah doesn't do anything for vain reason, so this is our answer.
we don' t know everything, we would be all knowing, Allah didnt make us so.
like Alif, Lam Mim, after suratul fatiha and the 2nd ayah of bakarah, the letters are there.
One of the consensuses of scholars is: Allah put those letters there, so that we understand, that there are certain things those we don't know, even though we know and understand the other meanings of ayahs, next and before. this is one of the consensuses of Scholars.
may Allah guide us and keep us on straight path.
may we get benefited by sharing our knowledge and may Allah help us to help eachother, insha Allah
wassalamun 'alayka
. The knowledge of ultimate "why" lies with only Allah, Allahu A'lam.
