BOOK A LIGHTHOUSE MENTOR
Are you or someone you know doubting Islam? Do you find yourself struggling to find answers? Do you have a hard time speaking to someone about Islam? Are you considering Islam but are unsure about certain concepts? Are you an activist, Imam or community leader who is unsure about how to handle questions related to science, philosophy, the Islamic moral code, etc.?
You are not alone. Over the course of the last decade or more there has been a rapid proliferation of content online and in academic institutions that has eroded the faith of some people.
Seeing the rise of this phenomenon , Sapience Institute is introducing a One to One mentoring service called LIGHTHOUSE.

About fallacy of composition, can't we say there are types of qualities of a composition, like quantitative qualities and physical qualities. Where quantitative qualities are things we can put a number on like: size, weight, temperature and so on. While physical qualities are otherwise like; colour, texture etc. In this case we find that quantitative qualities may not match in terms of the parts and whole while physical qualities just might. And see if causeability is a physical quality.

Please correct me if I am wrong in my understanding of Hijab’s arguments here Saying the universe is contingent is not committing a fallacy of composition, because the universe is not dependent just because it is composed of dependent parts, but because it has parts in the first place, and anything that has parts cannot be necessary. if they do say the universe is eternal and independent, one should show they are no longer an atheist, but then point out the universe cannot be independent, regardless of whether it is a infinite multiverse or infinite universe, because it can be added to, subtracted from, and conceived of in another way. A necessary fact is 2+2=4 and there is no other conceivable possibility. The universe is not like this. The planets can rotate in a different direction. This wasn’t mentioned but some atheists say the universe is an eternal singularity crunching and banging. The singularity is obviously dependent if it is changing. And you can still ask, what does the singularity depend on in order to go from one state to another. If it is eternally in one state, it requires agency or an external agent in order to change. The universe from nothing argument and the brute fact one are just laughable. And the retro-causation one allows the grandfather paradox, where a person goes in the past to kill his grandfather but then how does he exist. Hijab says that with causation it is possible that B occurs without A happening, however with contingency/dependency, B is contingent on A so B cannot exist without A, and if it can exist without something it is contingent upon, then it is independent and the atheist is no longer an atheist. I may not have understood this part correctly.

More research of this relative to the Abrahamic faiths i think needs to be done. The youth you will find are heading the spiritual arena. Christianity and Contingency argument etc. i personally feel is a minority thought among the masses. This is just my opinion.

The fact it can be conceived otherway does not necessitate that it's contingent from the perspective of the fallacy of composition. If the parts are contingent the universe is not if it always maintains that energy released after the rearrangement of the forms within it If we say the universe is made up of energy that gets rearranged in different forms constantly . Those parts are contingent but the universe is not because it keeps the same amount of energy within it. It never gets more or less. Therefore the universe is necessary in the abstract form . Therefore the universe is independent . ???

19:15 allow me to make a correction: belief in a multiverse is not a substitution for a god. Belief in a multiverse is is not a point which anyone holds with the degree of conviction which a theist holds the belief in his god. Belief in the multiverse is more of an informed guess for which we may never find any proof...but it serves to point out the vast number of possibilities of which we may not be aware. But is all boils down to the fact that we really have no idea what the universe is.

Composition fallacy doesn't work. An example of the fact that the day is long but this does not mean that every single part of the day is long, does not work because every part of the day has potential within it. In other words, each part of the day has a certain amount of time, and when combined, it becomes a whole long day.

then you would have to deal with infinite regress of events the process will never start ie universe would not come to existence : Was the universe created by something else created? Will that satisfy the questioner? Obviously not. The contentious person will undoubtedly ask, “Then, what created that thing?” If we were to answer, “Another created thing”, what do you think he would say? Yes, you guessed right: “What created that thing?” If this ridiculous dialogue continued forever, then it would prove one thing: the need for an uncreated creator. Why? Because we cannot have the case of a created thing, like the universe, being created by another created thing in an unlimited series going back forever (known as an infinite regress of causes). It simply does not make sense. Consider the following examples: • Imagine that a sniper, who has acquired his designated target, radios through to HQ to get permission to shoot. HQ, however, tells the sniper to hold on while they seek permission from someone higher-up. Subsequently, the person higher-up seeks permission from the guy even higher up, and so on and so on. If this keeps going on forever, will the sniper ever get to shoot the target? Of course not! He will keep on waiting while someone else is waiting for a person higher up to give the order. There has to be a place or person from where the command is issued; a place where there is no one higher. Thus, our example illustrates the rational flaw in the idea of an infinite regress of causes. When we apply this to the universe we have to posit that it must have had an uncreated creator. The universe, which is a created thing, could not be created by another created thing, ad infinitum. If that were the case this universe would not exist. Since it exists, we can dismiss the idea of an infinite regress of causes as an irrational proposition. • Imagine if a stock trader at the stock exchange was not able to buy or sell his stocks or bonds before asking permission from the investor. Once the stock trader asked his investor, he also had to check with his investor. Imagine if this went on forever. Would the stock trader ever buy or sell his stocks or bonds? The answer is no. There must be an investor who gives the permission without requiring anypermission himself. In similar light, if we apply this to the universe, we would have to posit a creator for the universe that is uncreated.Once the above examples are applied to the universe directly, it will highlight the absurdity of the idea that the universe ultimately was created by something created. Consider if this universe, U1, was created by a prior cause, U2, and U2 was created by another cause, U3, and this went on forever. We wouldn’t have universe U1 in the first place. Think about it this way, when does U1 come into being? Only after U2 has come into being. When does U2 come into being? Only after U3 has come into being. This same problem will continue even if we go on forever. If the ability of U1 to come into being was dependent on a forever chain of created universes, U1 would never exist.146 As Islamic philosopher and scholar Dr. Jaafar Idris writes: “There would be no series of actual causes, but only a series of nonexistents… The fact, however, is that there are existents around us; therefore, their ultimate cause must be something other than temporal causes.

Imagine a casual series of A,B and C where A is pure cause which is not effect of other and C is pure effect which is not cause of another .B is the intermediate member which has both the attributes of cause and effect because it is the cause of C and the effect of A . A ceases to exist the B and C necessarily ceases to exist therefore A is more worthy of existence then B and C . Now it doesn't matter if the intermediates are one or many finite or infinite they will still have the same characterstics of intermediates like B such that it can't exist without a pure cause like A . Suppose two infinite series iof A and B such that series A is ten member shorter then series B now if their is a member in series A for each member of series B then A should be greater then series by a finite amount and that which greater than other by finite amount can't it self be infinite . hope this helps

Science is based on philosophy. Therefore, if science is a valid way of coming to truth, then so is philosophy. Also, because philosophy is what defines the boundaries of science, if there is no philosophical answer, there is no scientific answer. You would not say “we do not know” about anything else but you say it when it comes to this. Why don’t you just say “we do not know” about science as well then? The fact that you’re so ready to throw away philosophy once it doesn’t fit your paradigm is incredibly disingenuous. It’s almost as if you worship science instead of God.

Wait so one thing which has confused me for a long time is the whole concept of "anything which is made up of parts is dependent". What I mean by this is: what about fundamental particles? And also, doesn't the universe sustain itself? Like I don't see Allah coming in and making the universe work or anything. How is the universe dependent? They keep saying it's made of parts, but I'm failing to see how that makes it dependent. If they say it's because it can be arranged in another way, then they're saying it's dependent, but that's kind of like using causation. Like something caused it to be like that. But dependency is something needs to exist in order for that dependent thing to exist. How does Allah's existence, and/or lack thereof, impact the universe? Just something I'm confused on.

I only got an answer for the first one. I'm young and don't understand much but from my basic understanding is that Things that are made from a variety of parts are depending on the parts existing for itself to exist. For example a triangle must have 3 straight lines. If straight lines didn't exist. A triangle would not exist. Similarly, if you somehow remove certain particles from the universe then it's conditions will be completely different e.g hydrogen. effects black holes, stars, life, gravity. BTW we can make a video game and not be present while it is still running. Walt disney is dead but mickey mouse still exists. Just because you can't see a creator doesn't mean he doesn't exist

I’d argue it’s not conceivable to argue that anything in this universe can be proven to have necessary existence whether it’s made up of parts or not since one may always question how it exists and why is it the way it is and if it is a form of necessary existence then is it existing infinitely? Idk if that helps or makes any sense

@@symbiotezilla12345 So what you're saying is once we get to the level of fundamental particles, we go into a kind of Kalam argument, asking where it all came from, there had to be a beginning etc.? I guess that kind of makes sense... Another thing would be that the necessary existence is something which is unlimited, meaning it requires no explanation. Fundamental particles are limited per se, because they are within the bounds of this reality I guess. Thank you for your take, I have a lot to think about!

@@zaidsyed8501 I guess you could say that. I think the point of this lecture was merely to show how the universe as a WHOLE is contingent and prove that contingency by using the composition argument - which as Br Hijab explained is a great counter to the questions posed by athiests against the contingency argument. Whereas if we get to the nitty gritty such as fundamental particles or energy and etc then I am unsure if the intent of the lecture really applies to these phenomenon - since as I said the lecture seeks to strengthen the contingency argument overall. So if the universe as a whole is contingent then it is dependent if I understood correctly. I do believe you are kinda forced to go kalam on stuff like fundamental particles but perhaps contingency still applies because those fundamental particles could be rearranged to form anything rather than what they form specifically in our universe - thus implying dependency? Idk but all I know is to the very least you are forced to ask where those particles came from unless we supposed that they existed infinitely- which to me personally would make no sense.

In someway, independent things has common things with dependent, and the independent thing can be dependent on other factor, but when the independent thing has no common things with the dependents and the independent cannot be dependent in any form, then this would be the absolute independent. Example for the absolute independent not exist in the nature. here the God existence is logical, as mentioned in the Quran, nothing equivalent to Allah, also the eternal (Al-Samad).

@@ayeshayasir8665 okay describe means we use words to represent what we observe. Prescribe means, we don't have words to describe what we observe so we grant or give a description. An example of a prescription would be sweetness. So if you ask anyone "I never tasted sweetness but I want to understand sweetness, give me those descriptions of sweetness, after hearing them I will have the complete understanding of sweetness." but sweetness cannot be put into words, the only answer to this question is " eat some honey and that taste is sweetness" this the word sweetness was prescribed onto the experience is sweet taste. But in the case of a triangle, we have the notion of forms or shapes or polygons, we know what are angles whether described or prescribed, it doesn't matter, the triangle exists outside of the human mind and its triangularity is necessary, if not then it wouldn't be a triangle. A² + B² = C². This is true even if no triangles were ever discovered. Also necessary existence and a necessary fact are the same thing. Since non existence is not a thing, a necessary fact exists by necessity. Thus a necessary fact is also a necessary existence. They are 2 perspectives of the same thing. If I said "I am a necessary being" if it's true then the fact of me being a necessary being is necessarily true. But it cannot be the case that something exists necessarily but not be a necessary fact. I hope I was able to convey this in a way you're able to understand Thanks

@borsalinokizaru9862 the fundamental principle of this argument, is that, all that is within the range or our perception could have been different, therefor there must be something that made it to be the way it is. That something in itself could not been conceived to be different than it is. I would say that the only thing which is within our empirical range that can not be conceived differently is consciousness, for the mere act of trying to conceived the possibility of it differently than it is, happens within it self. Consciousness is the necessary principle upon which all other things exists. This universal consciousness will point to God.

At 12:20 Muhammad Hijab makes a completely arbitrary and ad hoc delimitation on the definition of parts that he read out wrspt Allah because he admits it means his understanding of real distinct entitive attributes result in Allah swt having parts. His position means that Allah swt is a conglomerate being made up of parts but this is something no Muslim will countenance and so Hijab just chooses to change the definition of 'part' This isn't honest and it certainly isn't tawheed.

The thought of Ibn Taymiyyah of comparing a perpetual sustainance of Hell and Paradise in the future to ascertain perpetual creation processes in the past seem flawed because the set of creation processes then naturally exists eternaly, pre and post, which is an attribute of Allah, that only He is eternal. Post-eternality or immortality in the case of human souls is not a problem because it only applies within the Mercy of Allah and He sustains us. Pre-eternality, even if it only applies to a set seems dangerously close to the christian idea of an infinitely generated son of God. It's just my two cents and brother Hijab didn't agree with this view of ibn Taymiyyah anyway but I'm open to discussion.

Asalaamualaykum brother There is a difference between infinite and eternal. Infinite either has no start and no end, or has a start and no end, but in both cases it depends on time and space to exist. Eternal on the other hand, is beyond time and space, very different from infinite. Allah is eternal ie, He is beyond time and space.

EDIT: I can now disprove Allah with certainty. See the video: The Ultimate Proof That God Is Not Real! My own version will be out soon. I say this as an atheist: There can be a "non-necessary" thing. Something which is eternal and changes or becomes disassembled. Think of a triangle that changes into a V. What it's *made of* could still be eternal even though it is no longer a triangle. So what is God made of? He isn't made of anything? Then you are defining God as an absolute nothing. If you say God is made of something then could this God or eternal thing be both eternal and change? Become disassembled? Of course it could because what it's made of is eternal. Talking necessary and contingent only is a false dichotomy. We're now at a 50/50 as to whether the eternal thing is necessary or non-necessary. I can get you to probably not necessary but that is for a different discussion: First we have to agree on the above.
