Am I the only one here who thinks that the Islamic scholars are not only educating their own people but also nourishing Christian and Jews scholars to fight atheism?

I was talking to my co worker about how atheism leads to nihilism. She replied with “well religion has problems too.” I cant believe people aren’t outraged with the absurdities born out of the assumption that random blind processes is our creator.

Hey Saboor. This video was recommended to me from a follower of yours in a comment thread on a video of your recent debate with Alex O'Connor. Thank you for this video and your ideas. Your perspective is different from any I've heard before, and I find it useful. I'll have to watch this again on another day, and think about how to constructively contribute to the conversation, before adding a substantive comment. However, we both agree that this is an important conversation to be having, which is a good starting point. I wish you the best, friend.

‎‏Islam is an essential powerful religion

Alhamdulillah... I got to see this video... It's so shameful... I was slowly drifting towards skepticism and nihilism but MashaAllah you presented really good arguments JazakAllahu Khair to everyone involved in this video

I’m a Christian but man I love listening to Subboor debating/refuting atheists. He’s very likable.

The people who say that Atheism has nothing to do with Nihilism have not really paid attention. When you say there is no God it means that there is no objective morality, value or purpose, therefore you will try to create your own meaning which in reality has no real meaning, therefore, you will fall into this black hole of Nihilism.

This man will make the unbelievers to think twice, and has a big future that may the intellect people will follow his method in thinking , may Allah bless him and give him more knowledge , Ameen

Nietzsche himself was the madman of his parable. He did not have an answer but he knew something was wrong.

Wallahi this is true that whoever turns away from Allah will have a depressed life! Oh Allah please grant us the your mercy, light and peace in our hearts

Very powerful words in the end about soul

Iv recently started watching a lot of these dawah videos and generally enjoying them, even though I may not always like the arrogance/style which some speakers use. But I cannot fault Saboor. So calm, composed and eloquent in the way he presents his points. He seems to have a nice aura and as my mum would say “he radiates light”. May Allah support and bestow his mercy on him and guide us all.

I am hooked on sabburs talks like some are hooked on music

Recently found this brother. He has an excellent message and his delivery is intelligent

Wow, you just explained the concept of GOING DARK by David Goggins. Which is basically doing the opposite of escapism and letting the dark clouds of nihilism form to craft a subjective purpose. Mindblowing!

May Allah Almighty reward you brother, you are doing a great job.

Pressed like and I ain’t even watched it yet!! Saboor is the man who doesn’t need proof reading!! 😂

Either during the nihilism period or after it sounds like a perfect time for dajjal to come.

MashAllah!!! When you showed the quote from Ernest Becker, BOOM! I pictured how we have everything In life (fish) in our western countries, and yet so unhappy and stopping to procreate. I.e. Italy's population decreasing etc

And dark makes you fall.... plunge headlong into everlasting embarrassment. Oh God keep me in light!

Very insightful and thought provoking talk MashAllah. May Allah SWT give barkat in your knowledge and make you a means of hidayat for the ummah Ameen

Jazakallah o khaira. Mashallah may Allah increase you in faith and true understanding of Islam, prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W) and itself.

May Allah swt for you, bless you shaykh, keep you guided and strong in iman, always Ameen ya Rabb ❤️

*_”Is someone who was dead, who We then brought to life and made for them a light by which they walk among people, comparable to someone who is trapped in total darkness, with no way to escape from it? It just goes to show how atheists are addicted to their own habits!”_* _(The Quran, __6:12__2)_

جزاك الله خيرا واحسن الجزا 🌺 You made the difficult concepts snap easy!

A good talk, I see aetheism will end in the next generation insha'Allah

This video was 3 years back, when New Atheism was only sprouting. After 3 years, Mohammed Hijab, Subbor Ahmad, and Muslim intellectuals of their likes have demolished New Atheism on an academic level - and now Neil deGrasse talks about "mind-blowing things they will not teach you in schools" as podcasts. How very sad.

I wanted to purchase the book from hamza together with forbidden prophecies on the Iera website but I dont have a creditcard to purchase for the shipping costs. Also none reply by mail or Twitter. Is there any other way to purchase ? Insha Allah I will soon receive these books.

Mahallah, May Allah bless us All with Iman, and his remembrance.

I like the big (gest) issues to be simplified like this ! Thank you. Peace !

What you have said is how I think but you have articulated the points in a very clear and intellectual way.

Very enlightening! May Allah swt reward this brother immensely!

جزاكم الله خيرا

Fantastic talk brother... Jazak'Allahu khairan

Very informative speech. I love you Br Subboor. May Allah bless you and reward you with Paradise.

Jazakallahu Khayran Ahsanul Jaza

جــزاكـم الــلــه خــيــراً عـلـى الـتـرجـمـة لـلـغـة الـعـربـيـة😍🤩💛 We really appreciate your efforts and we appreciate the Arabic subtitle in ur videos, thank you guys 🖤🖤🖤

Subboor is amazing may Allah protect him and preserve him and make more of him Inshallah.

Lots of good points in this one. Bravo Subboor.

Thank you, Subboor brother, for an important topic and a beautiful presentation ❤️❤️❤️

There's a mistake in the Arabic captions at 14:09 the word "unhappy" is translated as "سعيد" which is the total opposite.

Wow..that was something...I will listen to this again tomorrow.... Thought provoking...I m struggling with my faith so much

am Muslim but when I tried to remove Islam from my heart, this is where I ended up.

Touched my heart👍👍👍

You are amazing brother, god bless you .

I love you all, brothers. All Egyptians pray for Allah to bless your efforts.

Excellent lecture. Thank you.

Please write books brother Suboor I'll gladly buy them😌. Or he already has?

Masha Allah

Excellent mashaAllah

Please we want more translated videos of Saboor

Listen All aethist here...And nihilist Arguing here down....if u loose your two eyes tomorrow....Will u keep all the arguments of yours about ur life ???

Salam Bro your rockin the Pakol, Mashallah:)

A very bright mind

😊 thanks 🤲🏽

That suit and hat combo. Alhumabarik.

Islam is really the perfect combination of 1. finding a objective meaning outside of yourself, and 2. a meaning that is grounded in solid proof and evidence.

Love you in the sake of Allah saboor and all iEra members

Love the thumbnail 😅 on point for target audience

Where is Subboor ahmad originally from?

Few issues with the making up your own purpose view : 1) purpose is being conflated with temporal goals one sets for themselves, 2) purpose ought to explain your reason for being, 3) I think all things that are the same in essence have the same same purpose.

"A millionaire who has no friends is actually poor", well said.

Mashallah

one more is Skepticsm before Nihilism, I guess😨

for the 3rd time seeing this video because of how much i loved it

❤️

This video changed my life from being an atheist to being an even more atheist!!

❤️❤️

Wow😳

You're genius brother! That's true, Atheism makes no sense at all. May Allah guide people to the right path!

No such thing as a worldview for atheism. Atheism is a position, not a worldview. It is the position of suspending acknowledgement of the existence of gods until sufficient evidence can be presented.

My bro looking cool in the thumbnail

Oh wow!! 8:42-10:12 it smacked me right onto my head which is spinnig now..what an observation!! That's truly a scary thing.

What an amazing lecture !!! Brother Sabur love you for the sake of Allah SWT. May Allah SWT give you tofeeq to smash this flimsy perspectives

barak Allah fuuk

Dear Saboor i like your hat send me one...👨‍🦳 Your amazing we are learning new things through you.. may Allah give strength and more insight... 💪❤️👍

The Word...

MasyaAllah

The Dark Path of Nihilism to Religion

Can you provide the links to the academic papers blaming WW1 on nihilism?

I know that no one will argue with saboor...... Theres just no point. You already lost

Albert Pike, "We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil."

To truly appreciate something you have to understand it's opposite.

JzkAllah Brother Saboor. Enlightening lecture. nihilism looks like "iblis ism"

How incredibly anecdotal and specific, taking a fascinating case study of a man who goes from a religious background to an atheist and back, which, is a far point to levy but is also incredibly misleading. Human’s aren’t so flat and simple that deciding to be an atheist means that there isn’t a long term goal or loss of reason for ones actions. The context of the entire “God is dead” statement is so much deeper that just “no god is bad”, it in fact was both a thought experiment and exploration of a pantheistic world (a world based on many gods as an argument against the idea of one god and a harmonious universe). Nietzsche also wasn’t saying that a world without god would lead to an existential crisis, he both implicitly and extremely explicitly used it to question how morality will change due to a dechristianisation of laws and teachings in everyday life. the motivation we ascribe to power cannot and does not rely on objective facts. it’s ridiculous and straw man like to say that only looking at goals set by what we consider a higher power are powerful when, if one is motivated enough, a goal set by oneself is incredible. It’s frankly insane how much context is ignored here, especially with your constant mention of Europe’s shift to atheist ideals. the most cited reason for atheistic shifts, especially in the west, is the first (or second) world war, this incredible loss of life and brutal slaughter caused many to lose their faith and abandon the worship of a God who stood by and let it happen. Science is objectively a worldview, your excellently misleading point of mathematics being unilateral doesn’t apply since looking at the world scientifically is just the simple way of being able to actually and perfectly explain why something happens in the universe, insignificant or not. nice job speaking about all atheists like it’s a unified group such as catholics or sunnis and not simply believing that there isn’t a God. You’ve declared that atheistic goals (making a change in the world based on ones own decision or motivation) is an invalid idea, based on assuming and generalising about people going “it’s all just atoms” and saying that people thinking about that, something; that I and many other atheists I know consider a lot, makes us thinks there is no motivation or reason for anything. On the point of motivation, saying that motivation or drive becomes fallacy under a scientific perspective is nearsighted since we tend to cite wants or needs, caused by an incredible amount of chemical reactions causing serotonin production. I simple terms: we like doing good because we’ve been taught to be good or know right, and therefore do things to do good with or without a faith. Hell! Nihilism doesn’t even refer to one way of thinking, you should say existential nihilism! because actually at least seven (some are in debate) Jesus this is so tunnel visioned and disregarding of the multifaceted nature of human beings and our wants, motivations and cares. You’re acting like american atheism (the kind of atheism that tries to convince you to become atheist) is all atheism or in anyway a consistent mentality.

People really need to learn the difference between religion and reality.

The idea that atheism would mean you have no values, purpose or hope is nonesensical. It only means you live by your own values and purpose, not by what some man wrote in a book over 2000 years ago. Steve Jobs said it best, everything that was created or said before you, was created or said by a man no smarter than you. By this philosophy which i think is very valid, your values and purpose is something you yourself create or live by. Does this mean the values and purpose of every man will be of the good kind? Of course not, but it would be extremely biased to make the argument that every man that lives by for example Islamic, Christian or Jewish values is practicing a doctrine that's only good. ''What is reality? Obviously no one can TELL, because it isn't words.'' - Alan Watts

.... thats why A.I have created. no need for imperfect humans any more.

Things explained by religion(i.eIslam)is made complicated by Atheism and nihilism

My belief, that my life ends when I die, has given me a much deeper appreciation for the life I have. Death is the price we pay for living.

He seems excited enough in the tumbnail discussing the dark path

"Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be a word without meaning."

Why do we exist ? This question is asked by those who are suffering. When one is absolutely blissful within themselves for no reason then this question never arises.

Make mercy thy mosque, faith thy prayer-mat, what is just and lawful, thy Quran, modesty thy circumcision and civility thy fast. So shalt thou be a Moslem. Make right conduct thy Mecca, truth thy spiritual guide and pious deeds thy creed and prayer." (Guru Nanak, Slok, pg. 140) "There are five prayers, five times for prayers, and the five have five names. The first is truthfulness, second the honest earning and third charity in God's Name. The fourth is pure intent and mind, and the fifth the Lord's admiration and praise. Repeat thou the creed of good deeds, and then call thyself a Moslem." (Guru Nanak, pg.141)

@17:50 The failing Ethics.

This is sophistry at its finest and he still didn’t explain why the make believe of theism is better than the make believe of atheism, he just asserted that it is with no justification.

Please.. make Translate to Indonesia Language..

As an atheist i found this discussion as an improvement of the world, cause i learnt a lot. Subboor Ahmad really has a remarkable ability to analyze *some* things. The reason why i liked this might be because its so interesting that i forgot about my nihilistic reality. However it surprised me that you failed to make the same connection to Islam after coming to the conclusion that our make beliefs are no different, in this respect. I am trying to argue that if my personal make belief in value is no different than yours then how could it fill any other functions than mine? Which was as you said was to distract us from thinking about what it means to be human. Islam fills this need for you, however in a more effective way since this distraction from existence claims to be true. I on the other hand cant find a universally true answer to the meaning of life, since i am truthful to myself. I have to build my make beliefs on things i believe to be true. Which currently only is one thing, and that is that i exist (I think therefor i am). Why? (This is where my make beliefs starts) because of Evolution. This is why most of the things i value come from an evolutionary point of view. I would disagree with Richard Dawkins saying that survival of the fittest doesn't apply to our modern world and that it would be bad if it did. The environment have simply changed as it always does, survival of the fittest as a concept is still at play, and that's a good thing. I enjoy food, good relationships, sleep, interesting discussions, exercise and so forth. I have my ups and downs just like anyone else and i have learnt to accept it. If the only times i truly can be happy is when i am distracted from what it means to be here and what the inevitable end is then so be it.

Nihilist but not by choice...
