Ali Ataie – My Brotherly Advice to Young Muslims on YouTube

So to our young people

and older people,

don't fall into an anti Muslim rabbit hole

on the Internet

or on YouTube, where the Quran is being

attacked.

Most of these anti Muslim channels,

take it from me, I give you

sincere advice. I've been dealing with these people

for decades.

Most of these anti Muslim channels are run

by a bunch of charlatans

who take advantage of the average Muslims' ignorance

of certain particular issues.

They want us to chase these red herrings

and thus cause us to doubt the strength

of our overall established narrative.

Sometimes Muslim scholars have to listen to

this garbage in order to formulate refutations

if they feel that it's necessary.

But the average lay Muslim should not even

click on these videos. Just ignore the algorithm.

Imam Al Ghazari, he said that just listening

to a zindik

or a mubtadir.

Listening. Just listening

to a heretic or an innovator is a

breach of the right, a breach of the

hack of the ear. It is impermissible for

your ear

to hear such things, let alone listening to

some vile kafir

or moustahazi,

some mocker who hates Islam because the truth

of Islam

destroys his own false theology,

or the ethical positions of Islam

denounce his own degenerate lifestyle.

This is really at the root of their

hatred. Many Christian apologists and polemicists who attack

the Quran,

much of their vitriol is due to the

fact that they recognize

they recognize the truth of our narrative

when it comes to the Quran.

So they're filled with envy and frustration,

because their narrative

has been utterly deconstructed

by secular academics

and historians.

This is called the guilt complex.

They accuse our narrative of falsehood and attack

our scripture because they know that their own

narrative in scripture

is in utter shambles.

How do we know this? We read the

Quran.

The ayat of the Quran are so perfect,

are so succinct.

It's all in the Quran.

What does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala say?

Many of the people of the book, many

of the ahlid kitah,

they long to make you disbelievers

after you have believed

through envy,

through hasad

on their own account after the haqq, after

the truth has become manifest to them.

Forgive and pardon

until Allah

brings his command.

Indeed, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is over everything

powerful.

And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, essentially,

get to work.

So establish the prayer

and pay the charity.

And whatever good you send before you for

your souls, you will find it with Allah

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Indeed, Allah is concerning what

you do all seeing.

And they say none will enter paradise

unless he be a Jew or a Christian.

These are their vain delusions.

Say, bring your proof if you are truthful.

Know, whosoever submits to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

and is a doer of good, his reward

is with his Lord, and no fear shall

come upon them neither shall they grieve.

And the Jews say the Christians follow nothing

true, and the Jews So then the Christian

The Jews say the Christians follow nothing true,

and the Christians say the Jews follow nothing

true, yet they are both readers of the

Bible.

Like this speak those who don't know anything.

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will judge between them

on the day of resurrection concerning what they

differed about.

Sadaf Allah.

This is perfect.

SubhanAllah.

The Jews say that God is absolutely 1.

The Christians say that he's 3 and 1.

There's a trinity. The Jews say that God

is not a man. The Christians say God

became a man who died for our sins,

a'udhubillah.

The Jews say that repentance is all you

need to be right with God again. The

Christians say reconciliation is through blood sacrifice and

vicarious atonement. The Jews say that every single

commandment

of the Old Testament is still binding. The

Christians say the vast majority of the commandments

are abrogated.

And they're both reading the same exact book.

Look at the chaos.

Not only this, the Quran says, and modern

textual criticism

has confirmed

that the Bible, Old and New Testaments have

suffered a degree of textual and exegetical corruption.

There's no doubt about this. I can give

you example, heaped upon example, but this is

not the occasion.

But this is the state of their text.

Yet because of a guilt complex,

they attack the Quran. You know what they

say about people who live in glass houses?

And it's not all of them. They're not

all the same.

Right? We're speaking in general terms.
