Ghazzali is a don of his time

Recently introduced to ghazali and i am surprised that how muslims do not know about him that much today. He was beyond his time. He was greatest of all time.

Infinite regression argument is one of the most strong arguments that effected me and changed my life completely from a Muslim to aware Muslim

Imam Ghazali (RA) contribution to Ummah left a fat mark so much so that every madhab uses his techniques to build their foundation in Fiq even one of the greatest Hanbali scholars called Ibn Qudama (RA) used Ghazali principles for the Hanbali jurisprudence which is why Imam Qaduma (RA) is highly praised in the Hanbali madhab not realizing Imam Ghazali (RA) was the reason behind his success. Imam Ghazali (RA) was a mujahid of his century. He was one of those people the prophet (PBUH) prophesized that would reform the religion and introduce new methods to explain, understand and preserve Islam. Imam Ghazali (RA) was called the Sheikhs of Sheikhs where thousands of Sheikhs around the world (ulama) would attend, gather and debate in front of Imam Al Ghazali where Imam Al Ghazali was the mediator in Baghdad. He defeated all the philosophers, anthropomorphist's and other deviant sects and false religions and manage to revert them to the true path of Islam. The amount of non-Muslims that were converted to Islam by Al-Ghazali is a record that very few Muslims have achieved. He was called the greatest scholar of his century and all the ulama respected and loved him. Imam Al Ghazali became an Awliyah in his later life after he gave up teaching and he disposed his wealth and adopted an ascetic lifestyle. May Allah send him to the highest paradise, ameen.

Brother Muhammad, this is so necessary for me regarding the science of physics which I never studied. My Shaykh Fawzi (Allah yarhamuhu)from Misr, referred to as the lion of Tawheed, said to me before he died that I must stop so much concentration on comparative religion and study science. When I rejected that idea saying that I never liked it and I'm not good in it he said "well then go learn it" I imagined how difficult it would be and expressed my age as an excuse, he said it's for your people because they will not believe in anything that they cannot touch, see, hear or feel. in other words his view was that there was little spirituality in America. Of this I'm not sure, but I am sure that you are sorely needed in the entire English speaking world may Allah give you the International audience you deserve.

I was reading an article on tahafut al falasifa, and i received this notification , subhan Allah!

another book of Ghazali's to recommend is Minhaj Al Abidin ila Jannati Rabbil Alamin - which is essentially a summation of his path of tassawuf, it's one of his later books and has been translated to english by Muhtar Holland (The path of the worshipful servants to the garden of the Lord of all the worlds)

Alhamdulillah for resources like these. Please keep this going Biithnillah. This is truly beneficial.

JazakAllah for this 💖

Absolutely brilliant video. May Allah Bless you Muhammad Hijab.

I could watch SI courses forever, so much knowledge

May Allah Accept your works, and make it a means of acceptance and Guidance for the Ummah!

Mashallah brother may Allah guide all of us in Islam ☪️

Looking forward to seeing your next one! ❤️

We need many more of these, these are so much more helpful than short clips even though they too are important for the layman viewer

JazakAllahu khairan

Loving these somewhat advanced topics. Jazakallah.

We as muslims must respect Imam Ghazali(may Allah SWT have mercy on his soul).

Maashallah. Beautiful

It would be interesting making a video about these 3 Points that Imam Razi mentioned cannot be soled. And attempting to solve them. Would be amazing. Barak allahu feekum

ماشاءالله محمد حجاب متألق دائما

MashaAllah excellent !

Masha Allah, jazakallah bro. No doubt Imam ghazali rahmatullahi alaih was a great scholar of islam

Shukran brothers! And MH

BarakAllahu Feekum 🖤🤍

Incredible life story of Iman Ali Ghazali. How did he become to " the proof of Islam" " O my Lord, my King ! Your order is a blessing to me" Tell my crying friends who saw me dead, tell my pained brothers and sisters in Islam. "Do not assume I am really dead, by God keep away from saying it is a death. I am a sparrow and this body is my cage, I flew away from the cage and the body remained. I was like a dead man among you this morning, I lived for a while and then wore a shroud. Do not assume the death is permanent, know that it is life and it is highly desired. Do not assume death is violence and pain, it is only moving from one house to another. Take what you need and be prepared for the road, if you are smart, do not get busy with anything else. Pray for me to be blessed so you are blessed, we went away knowing that you are next. "Peace Be Upon You" are my last words to you ! May Allah Save You. What else is there to say ? ...

Excellent video

He was an amazing scholar

Exceptional insights, we need more of this!

Thank you brother

Ghazali …. sorry …. this is not “bias” - we should have no bias of the latter day scholars ….. but I had no clue what I was getting into when I bought the Iqtisad many a times ago, 14 works later (and that only includes one book within the Ihya - so 13) - and yes I have gone through many works of great minds like Taymiyyah and Nawawi….. no one, no oneeeee - has the MIND LIKE ABU HAMID AL-GHAZALI - The Tahafut for instance is not FOR ANYONEEEE who does not understand philosophy & Logic.. and he beat them at their own game…… he makes you realize that you are not where you need to be, and he throws his faults out their with no shame! - a genius of genius …. his showing of the various ad absurdum of the Ismailis, the Sina philosophy, the Mutazalite thinking etc…. he was THEE goal tender of what could have been corrupted Islam greatly…. because those three things were UBIQUITOUS AND GROWING in his time More look at Quantum physics …. They write many academic journals on Ghazali ….. and how this man was on point on the micro level of the cosmos…. non-locality of Quantum theory “the bad child” of the Big Bang…. the Big Bang as in the way that the MAJORITY believed it happened…..puts a hole in something coming from nothing …. and Ghazali was very deep in such things, that show bakward causation - faster than light communication - where every particle is related to EVERY SINGLE PARTICLE in the cosmos (akin to a Ghost in a way)…. talk about whoo whoo, peculiar thing that can be shown and tested…. well Ghazali was on this 1000 years ago… what David Bohm and John Bell years later had showed to be true such an equation (let alone the double slit experiment)

Dhikr (ذِكْر, /ðɪkr ) in Islam .. is a form of Islamic prayer, repeated or chanted in order to remember Allah (swt). The Remembrance of Allah (swt) ... is known as 'Adhkar' , legislating 'Duas or Supplications'. such as : "Glory be to Allah" and "All Praise be to Allah". Adhkar is important in Islam as a Pledge of Servitude (Ubudiyyah) to Allah (swt) ... For instance : to acknowledge ones weakness and the need for Allah (swt) in ones Life. The Pledge of Servitude ('Ubudiyyah) to Him. This is achieved by supplicating (Dhikr ) and praising (Adhkar) Him. The Four reasons why Adhkār will inspire One to Love Allah (swt) more ... 1. to Fear Him alone, 2. to have Hope in Him, 3. to Submit to Him 4. and to be Grateful to Him. Allah's (swt) Favourite Dhikr (ذِكْر, /ðɪkr ) ... The Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) replied ; “say always, 'La ilaha ill-Allah' (there is none worthy of worship except Allah). The Three Dua's accepted ... The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, Three supplications are answered without doubt: 1. Supplication of the Oppressed, 2, Supplication of the Traveller, 3, Supplication of the Parent for his Son. According to ”Jabir (RadhiAllahu Anhu) reported : the Prophet RAS (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said, “the best remembrance. of Allah is to repeat La ilaha illa Allah.”. Especially in the Morning Adhkar between 'Fajr & Sunrise' and the Evening Adhkar. between 'Asr & Maghrib'. According to : An-Nasai , He narrated in Al-Kubra (227) that Anas ibn Malik said: The Prophet RAS (pbuh) said to Fatimah: “What is preventing you from listening to the advice I give you ? You should say when morning comes and when evening comes ; "Ya Hayyu ya Qayyum, bi rahmatika astaghith, aslih li sha’ni kullahu, wa la takilni ila nafsi tarfata ‘ayn". (O Ever-Living, O Self-sustaining and All-sustaining, by Your mercy I seek help ; rectify all my affairs and do not leave me in charge of. my affairs even for the blink of an eye). Classed as Hasan by Al-Albani in as-Sahihah (227). At the End of Day Adhkar to Read before Sleeping ... Let not a night come upon you and you go to bed without reciting. the Three Surah's. Uqbah said: So every night I would recite them. It became my duty to recite them, because the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had commanded me to do so.” 1. “Qul huw-allahu ahad”, 2. “Qul authu bi rabb-il-falaq,” 3. “Qul authu bi rabb-in-Nas.” ...

Masha Allah

If gazzali and Ibn Taymiyya had lived in the same time... And met each other 👌

Qaidah al wahid is very important and can you discuss how fakhr uddin razi integrated that theory within his cosmology

Assalamualaikum brother. From Bangladesh.

44:00 We know for a fact that transmutation does occur in some limited capacity such as due to radioactive decay and fusion, so Ibn Taymiyyah (RH) is demonstrably wrong about this.

I didn't quite understand the one about how planets would have to infinitely revolve around eachother. Because I think that assumes that over an infinit period of time, the state of the cosmos would continuously allow for those two planets to be within enough range of themselves to keep revolving infinitely, without ever getting too far apart to keep doing so or eventually colliding since the gravity pulls them toghether little by little. Plus, there's also the theory of the universe infinitely expanding and then imploding, continuously. But I suppose that would actually bring up the question of infinately revolving objects, depending on whether you'd count them as the same objects from each individual "cycle" of imploding and exploding.

Wa alaykumassalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

I would suggest you to read Imam Shah Waliullah شاہ ولی اللہ دہلوی رح specially " Conclusive argument of God " حجتہ اللہ البالغہ he was one of the most prominent scholar of subcontinent.

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُ​هُ Assalamu’​alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatu​h

Subhana’Allah the people of the past went so deep in philosophical question - which is really incredible This channel is really advanced and Ustadh Muhammad Hijab is probably one of the first people ever who discussed these issues in a public sphere. Of course, we also have Sheykh Asrar Rashid one of the most if not the most knowledgeable scholar in the Western World. These two individuals are really unique, Masha‘Allah May Allah ta ala enlighten both and increase their knowledge.

Can you guys make a playslist on this series?

Ma sha Allah brother hijab.

Allah yujzeekumul-jannah ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Another problem with the idea of God changing is the idea that God exists outside of space and time. If one moment God is one way, then at another moment God is another, it would make God contingent existing within space and time.

Al ghazali ❤

As salaamu alaykum Even if prefer the contingency argument, you still have to disprove an infinite regress of causes to conclude that it depends on a necessary cause.

as smbdy who cant be there among you people, I'd say kindly post every single lecture of the institute or academy..

My young philospher self was trying to figure out if i can keep cutting a paper and eventually making it disappear, quickly figured out scisors cut things in half... just burn it.

Interesting.

What is the definition of will. If you have a goal to achieve the will to achieve the goal is its essential. So the will does not change in relation with creation in sense of goal what is one directional. If you shoot a spear the goal is there to be achieved. But the wind and the choses you make because of the wind will be in different in different events because the wind is changing. But if you do not have a clue about the target the person is trying to shoot. You would think that his will is in constant change. So different choses someone makes does not necessary change the will. And you understand that if you understand his goal.

I feel like the statement if the past was infinite, you would never have the present now; is what enlightment means.

For me bad thing would be that which is logically impossible to make it even and equalize.

On the point of alchemy I am sure we can make gold. Via nuclear emission. So I am not sure how strongly that position still holds.

any plan to make this a series on muslim philosophers?

FYI physics doesn't define time but physics define change of events in relation to other constant change of event.

As an ex salafi follower i say that if some one support ghazali salafis thought his iman is weak.Even they discourge people to don't buy his(ghazali) book.

Did Ibn Rushd add much to this area or anything in general? I would love sapience to do a segment on Ibn Rushd if worthwhile

Salam brothers , what about the god particle or the higgs boson or higgs field that is a field which is everywhere and it gives mass to everything , plus have you heard of the large hardon collider which is a large machine that supposedly creates new elements one example being Nihonium , nihonium was first reported to have been created in 2003 by a Russian-American collaboration at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, Russia, and in 2004 by a team of Japanese scientists at Riken in Wakō, Japan. P.S i forgot to add that It is a synthetic element with an atomic number of 113, and it is not found in the natural environment. It is located within a boron group, and it is a part of a 7th period. Ununtrium has no naturally occurring isotopes.

Can you cover Ibn Rushd ( Averroes) ?

Assalamu alaykum, where can I buy all of Imam Ghazali’s books in full volume?

Read books of ibn Qaim for Tazkyiah and spirtual

Assalamu'alaikum assalamu'alaikum assalamu'alaikum 😇💖🌌💚😇madad ya Rasulullah SAW💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌

It's all very intriguing to see so much thoughtful insights from so many thinking minds in dealing with this infinite regress argument whereas Allah deals with it in Quran as a matter which has no substance at all and the Messengers presented Allah as The Originator of heavens and earth as a given fact which has no doubt at all in 14:10 قَالَتْ رُسُلُهُمْ أَفِي اللَّهِ شَكٌّ فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ Can someone shed some light why it was so obvious to even past common people and why it become a matter of top level intellectual debate afterwards plz?

Selama ini para kaum intelektual yang dekat para pemimpin memecahkan masalah berakhir pada permasalahan baru 😇💌tidak memecahkan masalah tanpa masalah 💌😇

in 22:15 about the planets rotating infinitely, I don't see it contradiction if we consider time we're using is relative. in other words instead of two years we could say one planet turns two times faster than the other. no?

Time is not increasing, it’s just moving forward. One can image time as a straight line but for a second imagine time as a point moving on a circular orbit. What Muhammad hijab is calling time increase is the point moving clockwise. Now theoretically that point can move counterclockwise as well no? All I am trying to say is that it would be more interesting to watch a debate of two opposing sides rather than just one side in order to make up my mind

Let's make it easier for you to use infinite regress. First agree things can't be illogical. And then make the infinte regress argument. Then if someone says causation doesn't exist or universe is oscilating then know wihtout causation any possible explanation one can come with will suffer infinite regress or being logically invalid.

Imam Al Ghazali. Obviously one of the biggest Scholars specially in Kalam. Brother Muhammad knows more and also better than me, Allah bless him and bless his knowledge. Only one thing I think is worth to mention that some of Shia or Rafezah and some Manteqiyin sponsoring Shia referring to Al gazali (God bless him) as a Moutazilah and a Scholar with a Shi'a thinking to abuse him for their benefits. Be aware of this brothers and sisters.

45:02 theoretically you can change silver to gold etc, however the technology/energy involved doesn't make it worth. And we don't know we can. But technically rearrangement of electrons and shells, it will be by definition something else now.

"The Reality of Love it Self" ! God's Essence "Al-dhat" ... As the Lover and Beloved is Only an Illusion. " Then the Eye Certainly open's, and staring inwardly at himself , he finds himself lost, vanished. But ... he finds the Friend ; and when he looks still deeper, realizes the Friend is himself . He exclaims, ' Beloved I sought you, here and there, asked for news of you, from all I met, then saw you through myself, and found we were identical. Now I blush to think, I ever, searched for signs of you". -Fakhr Al-Din 'Iraqi (Lama'at)

The Rotation of Saturn and the Sun hypotheses does not disprove anything because when you stop to count it, you would by default not have reached infinity, it can always spin one more time

This is where mohammed hijab excels at.. hope he focuses more about these kind of stuff

I agree with Shamsi latest video regarding the beginning of the asharites and of how going into this philosophy stuff just created a 'takafu ad dillah' between trying the prove the universe had a beginning and being eternal which caused more harm than good

There's infinity forward not past. Because once Allah bestows souls and spirits, out of His Mercy , the spirit is always in some type of body once it gets the whiff of existence

What about Endless Chain of Actions and its effects with regards to Allaah i.e. a endless chain of creating of Allaah and which are not interdependent such that one cannot occur without a previous one ?

Post date condition does not make sense as you cannot will unless Allah will. What about whether your wife will go outside the house or not already written in Qudr so whether you devorce or not also depends on Allah's Qadr.

There is a typo in the thumbnail : 'impossobility'

Akhi M Hijab what about برهان الوسط؟

Alhamdulillah for ISLAM's preserved teachings in the Quran and the Saheeh Sunnah, we have what is sufficient knowledge for us to conceptualize our existence and the existence of the universe and above all that of our Creator. These are the basic intellectual necessities for our minds and hearts to accept Islam and submit to our Creator, and enter Jannah Insha Allah, where we can have a better understanding of what existence is, was and will be.

Shaykhul Islam Al Ghazali

The sun is a star

❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹

Islamic Perspective on Freedom As a Muslim Islam gives us the right of 'Freedom of Thought & Speech ! The Islamic concept of freedom of expression is a expression to allow all Muslims .. The superior Islamic concept that should be more prevalent to access for the propagation of virtue and truth. Rather than spread or excite the evil and wicked virtues . For Instance : According to 'Ahlus Sunnah wal-Jama'ah' the Prophet Muhammad RAS (pbuh) said : "The best people are those living in my generation, then those coming after them, (Tābiʿun), and then those coming after (the second generation)" The difference between a Liberal and a Conservative ... The Conservatives believe structure is based on 'everyday politics' with undertones of a monotheistic inclination. In which the greater importance of stability, and promotion of the law and order to protect private property. Whereas the 'Liberals' believe and interaction questions the universal access to health care for their personal, health. And this 'health care system' should not be dependent upon one's financial resources, Therefore this includes the support of government intervention and funds. ...

the seen are the created things and their is a finite number of things Allah has created which are seen. However the unseen things are either in a state of created or yet to be created, and for the amount of unseen things that are yet to be created is up to the capacity of the creator which obviously is eternally abundant. At this point further pondering is pointless because we cannot know God's mind and his workings. Anything bad i said is from me and anything good is from Allah.

Imama Gazali is the "MAN"

Argument with the 1 ton of silver to one ton of gold is weak. “Although the conversion of one element to another is the basis of natural radioactive decay, it is also possible to convert one element to another artificially. The conversion of one element to another is the process of transmutation. Between 1921 and 1924, Patrick Blackett conducted experiments in which he converted a stable isotope of nitrogen to a stable isotope of oxygen.”

16:38 He said if there were no movement there would be no time. According to this logic if God before he created the first, was without movement He would be existing without time. This is what the Asharis say.

What about jannah, there is an addition to it, yet people say its eternal into the future

20:09 - Why Allah can’t make time without rotating things (100% he can) may be time over there is without rotation - Rotation is a kind off markers for us to mesures time for Muslim or science (it was necessary to give us free will) like a lot of things

Could I not say that allah has given me the means to change the fundamentals of the thing plus itd still be under the law of the conservation of mass

👍

A lot of ambiguity comes into the picture when there's a conflation between dimensional infinity (infinity along a spatial axis, infinity along time etc), and infinity beyond any dimensionality (infinity in power etc). When dealing with atheists etc, we should make that distinction clear imo.

Ghazali is the proof of Islam. A Giant.

1)Proof of Eternity by Hilbert Davidson

The two Islamic philosophers, Al-Farabi and Ibn Sina, had upheld the Aristotelian position that the world as a whole was eternal in the past. Their conception was that matter has always existed, though continually taking different forms. They did not deny that God was an eternal Creator (Khaliq). But by this they meant that He constantly combines matter with new forms, not that He made the world out of nothing at a definite time in the past. In the same way God “creates” time, but it has no beginning.

20:26 times like this make me burst out laughing with you Hijab. Love you for the sake of Allah.

He is called Hujjat al-Islam for something.

I don’t understand the purpose of these things?
