I know T J Winter (Abdal Hakim Murad). I even stayed at his house once with my ex-wife. He is one of the more impressive religious thinkers and speakers that I have come across; and I would add that he's also a kind, compassionate and generous person as well. However, I find his theology problematic. He appears to embrace voluntarism and nominalism, as do other Ash'aris, and he seems to be comfortable with the offensive warfare of Islam when it was in its ascendency. In one of his talks on 'jihad' he said: "The jurists of classical Islam reached the conclusion that Islam requires relentless military action against non-believing peoples unless a treaty exists with them". And he seems to have no problem with that, I suppose because of his voluntarism. He thinks good and evil are not intrinsic properties but are rather subjective categories: it is simply and solely God's will which determines when x is good or evil. I find all that problematic.
Very mundane discussion and the host seems to be illprepared and intelectually lazy. She just let him paint Islam as some kind of pacifist relegion that is a solution for all the problems caused by Radical left.

I really valued this conversation with a deeply respected Muslim academic in the UK. As a former Church of England priest myself, this notion of "other people like me" crossing the bridge to Islam was very important. After 12 years within Anglican ministry I reached out to the late Idris Tawfiq (a former Roman Catholic priest who embraced Islam). His deeply pastoral and insightful email to me, led me on a journey to discover so many "others like me" , who slowly and gradually realized had left their home of Christianity, and come to realize we had been inhabiting Islam, long before actually formally embracing it. Like Dr Winter, Islam (after deep struggle to cling on to my deeply held Christian beliefs and love of Jesus) was simply a continuation on the spiritual and religious journey. At the end of the day, conversion is something that happens to you; it just happens, and whether we invite it in or not, the heart will be broken open regardless. Then, the landscape and our experience of "otherness" is not only deeply challenged, it is blown wide open. Elizabeth, your insightful words at the end were beautiful by the way. Thank you.

I benefited from this discussion in so many ways, Timothy Winters is such a great asset to this Ummah, there’s not many people like him left. Every time I listen to one of his talks or lectures I feel the need to level up my speaking skill & vocabulary. May Allah reward him.
@@Kirk-d7vThe God of Abraham -Prophet Ibrahim in the Qur’an-did not advise people to do genocide against another group of people. That part is in the Old Testament, you must be aware, I’m sure. See, the God of Ibrahim is no godfather gangster-psychopath, Astaghfirullah, for He does not permit the rapist to marry the victim of his crime--quite the contrary In Quran, which states that “You cannot inherit a woman against her will.” The God of Abraham told Abraham in Genesis that he will father a “great nation” --and Hagira was not a concubine in the Qur’an, but his legal status wife from whom came Prophet Ismail--who was the predecessor of Prophet Muhammad, on whom be peace. Therefore, as Imam Murad (Brother Tim Winters) noted, there is such a thing as “Semitic Monotheism” -which is the pure belief in One God, (without going astray and worshiping golden calves for a while, which God The Almighty disapproved of as some people became arrogant in their double-dealing worship styles). Original Religion was always about worshiping Only One God: Since times ancient. If you read the entire Bible carefully, you’ll find that Semitic Monotheism--that Prophets were simply messengers from God Almighty to regular humans like you and me and anyone else.
@@kausamsalam8543 are you right in your chronology? because,*Messages and the *Prophets got distorted over time. Looking at Dr.Jay Smith lecture on “The truth about Islam’s origins” Dr Jay’s evidence is irrefutable that the message of Islamic beliefs was distorted.
Thank you! More or less, it seems to me that the aim of this episode was to understand the Islamic dimension of this very British man. But, for me, a non-British Muslim, it was a way to do something else: a way to understand the Britishness of this very Muslim man. :) I've been following Shaykh Abdal Hakim's work for over a decade and I've been to Britain over a dozen times, and so both the Shaykh himself and Britishness as a social construct are of huge interest to me, and in this interview Shaykh Abdal Hakim provides more insight regarding his upbringing and background than he ever has in any other interview or talk, to my knowledge. Although he's obviously an outgoing person in terms of giving lectures, etc., he seems to be very shy and reserved when it comes to his personal life. So well done for enabling us to gain all this insight, Elizabeth.
Agree and well put. His perspective is quite unique and his upbringing is obviously an impactful one that shapes his practice and character today. Generally it is also helpful to be mindful of privilege that a given individual has, and he certainly does come from a privileged background, which explains his perspective a lot.
Thank you so much, I stopped in the middle of the video and tried Google to find the meaning. The word "essence" is the essence of that writing. Find everything you want in God. Books could be written about this one sentence. Also, watch Dr. Hamza Yusuf, another unbelievable scholar.
@@Drfau1710 God revealed Himself to Moses as God of Israel, His Holy name, YHVH. Al Lah is God of Israel, YHVH? Who is Al lah? Even the young Arab never talked to Al lah, but an Angel. But in the Surah 96, which is supposed to be the first verse about this revelation, no Angel is mentioned! Someone really read the Quran here?
Thanks Elizabeth for bringing Dr Tim to your podcast. It’s timely to introduce the Islamic thought to the Christian audience so that there’s a necessary dialogue happening. Islam is not “the other”. Islam and Christianity have a lot in common than some try to deliberately portray. Islam has a lot to offer for the West and rest of the world. If we stop fighting and start listening to each other, we will be in a much more peaceful and unified world.
You can disagree with this man on theological grounds, but his profound knowledge about religion and spirituality as well as human nature isn’t only stunning but deeply inspiring. His overall message is that we humans must embrace each other despite our differences in religion and culture. What a profound insight and wisdom!
People don't know what an Islam is, or what the Quran is. That includes this man, Timothy, and also the majority of Muslims. The Quran is primarily the book of law, and it was the law in the entire Europe, not so long ago. In the old world.
If only there was Podcast with Shaykh Abdel Hakim I could watch everyday! Thank you so much inviting the one every westerner interested in spirituality and meanings should invite. I had the chance to meet him and was only reassert in my conviction that this man is full of wisdom. May Allah bless you!
His Friday sermons are usually posted on the New Cambridge Mosque channel, as are many of his lectures. His "Paradigms of Leadership" series is a wonderful journey through history, leaders, religion and personal sacrifices.
Such an elegant, honest and insightful lady! Very hard to find such people these days but hopefully the number is increasing.. Thank you Elizabeth, muslim here, from Türkiye. A great guest you got there, Mr Tim Murad is adorable..
Thanks for interviewing, wish he was more well known with English-speaking people. I think this deserves a part 2 can learn so much from Dr Abdul Hakim Murad.
@@minskdhaka I don’t think that he’s notable among non-Muslims. His fanbase consists of British Indians who don’t know 50% of what he’s saying but they love his RP accent and sagely demeanor.
Mr Winter, you are one a millions. May Allah preserve you, dear Mr Winter, on this earth until the day I die at least for much longer. You are the only Sheikh I always listen to in times of turbulence, times of worry, times of sorrow and times of confusion- and always come out with a clearer head, with less sadness and guidance- Your revert sister in Islam.
Dear host, thank you for hosting this great man. I have known Mr Winter through his Islamic lectures for a decade now, yet I never knew about him (life story) in such depth.
Wonderfully human and spiritual. This man is truly one of the great Muslim scholars of our age, with a global following. May God preserve him and increase him in his knowledge and station.
@@johnrambo9271 Since you are doubting his honesty then why don’t you read the original sources yourself? And I don’t mean go look for something misconstrued by a third party, but go to the sources yourself and read from start to finish.
Very interesting to see Dr.Tim’s shift to Shaykh Abdul Hakim. It’s almost like he tapped into another version of himself in an alternate universe with all the wisdoms from such a different perspective
Dr Winter is too humble to mention or rather detail his spiritual path and progress.. but as someone who has followed his work for many years now and knowing a lot of his traditional background, his unseen relationship or station with God is far greater than most know and a lot more than his theological knowledge. He, like all great Sufi practicioners, is an iceberg - what we see is only a fraction of his extensive relationship with God.
"his unseen relationship or station with God is far greater than most know" You can't presume to know that. That's why we Muslims say نحسبه كذلك and لا نزكي على الله احدا. Your excess in praise and admiration is antithetical to Islamic teachings.
Just one message to anyone wants to become Muslim- you don’t have to be perfect to become one, you will not have to perfect after you become one, but you have to try your best to become a good Muslim so your Creator is satisfied with your intentions and actions. Remember, people may know nothing but Allah knows everything- He knows your heart, your struggles, and everything. Alhamdulillah, He loves me more than anyone ever will.
Thank you! You did a good job interviewing Dr. Winter and delved into his personal background and family history aspects which rarely been discussed in his other interviews.
Bless you Elizabeth for a most wonderful podcast, you got a new subscriber. Thank you for interviewing Dr. WINTER. May Allah Sobhano open your heart to the true religion of Islam. GREETINGS FROM SYDNEY AUSTRALIA.

Liberal Christianity eroded traditional Christianity. Most Christians of today are oriented towards liberal Christianity with their secular modern sensibilities. Secular humanism retains elements of Christianity, it's Christianity with all the calories removed.
Thank you Elizabeth for this wonderful conversation! I would encourage you to pull further on the thread about our understanding of Jesus Christ as a pacifist, and how this should / should not inform our approach to social justice today!
Great interview! I appreciated the wide range of topics. The only thing that I miss a little bit was discussion of what and who our creator is. And our journey to him
Sahih Bukhari (6:301) - "[Muhammad] said, 'Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?' They replied in the affirmative. He said, 'This is the deficiency in her intelligence.'" Why do you think Allah intentionally made women stupid compared to men?
If you’re a Christian you’re not leaving Jesus behind , you’re accepting for his true teachings as Islam is the flag bearer of Jesus’ teachings and his staunch monotheism. Muslims expect Jesus’ second coming and revere Mary as one of our mothers. There is even a Chapter in the Qur’an named after her.
I enjoyed this a lot. And I'm taking notes on your questions and style. You're excellent at making people feel open to share, especially when they're coming from a different point of view. I hope to be having a guest on soon to talk about Islam as well, so this is extremely helpful for that reason too.
In my humble opinion, Islam embraces differences and respect your background. To put it in your context, it is like welcoming you to a huge family where you can maintain or even more appreciate your Britishness.
May Allah bless and protect Shiekh Abdal Hakim Murad and give him a long, healthy life so that he can continue to spread Islam to the world. Thanks also Elizabeth for interviewing the Dr. Abdal Hakim.
They are certainly credited for bringing Islam and its rich teachings and scholastic traditions and insight to Muslims with English as their first language. Cassette tape recordings of Hamza Yusuf lectures were almost a currency in the mid 1990s. True gems, both of them, but we are blessed with more scholars as well across the world.
That's a good interview Ms. Oldfield. It's always enjoyable to listen to Dr. Winter. He is someone of profound learning and he is a deeply spiritual person. Our understanding of the Holy Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) is quite deep. You would have to talk to him and other scholars at quite a lot of depth to be able to understand that. I hope the Bible has kept some sayings of Jesus (peace be upon him) recorded where he left instructions about what to do when faced with oppression. If the writers of Bible hadn't done so, then it would be a most profound problem for people who have been and are being oppressed by nations who used to be Christian or have a significant Christian population today. Forgiving those who commit a crime by mistake, or those who have a sincere deportment toward their sin is helpful. But forgiving the arrogant oppressor, empowers and boldens him or her. Turning the other cheek makes no sense to people who are oppressed when the oppressors are preaching that theology. It only feels beautiful to those who have no empathy at all. It is totally unhelpful to others. This is the reason why the British or the French or the Italian had practically no effect in converting people in India, North Africa and Middle East. My ancestors in India accepted and invited many people from outside. And people from outside made it its home. But the European colonialists really didn't impress us at all. Islam on the other hand stayed in the subcontinent for centuries and is still there. You have to think about how this sort of thing about turning the other cheek of Jesus sounds to us. It's like our oppressors have every right to destroy us in their civilizing effort. They have all the right to destroy our institutions and loot our wealth to the point of causing such massive imbalance in the the world which is still affecting us. But us, defending ourselves from such horrors is not a virtue. Virtue would have been to turn the other cheek. Do you know how ridiculous it sounds to people other than yourselves? You might know Peter Oborne. I request that you read his books and do an interview with him. He is a Christian. There are ways to be a Christian in which you don't see that redacted version of Jesus's message to be a true portrayal of Jesus. You believe in a loving God. A loving God cannot love oppressors among his creation, until he or she repents. And a loving God does not consider the martyr who give up his or her life to defend people to be morally inferior to the one who turns the other cheek. I believe turning the other cheek is very very contextual. It simply can't be Jesus' full message on how to deal with oppressors. It's a great dishonour to imagine that Jesus wouldn't physically fight to save oppressed from the oppressors. And that he wouldn't empower the oppressed to protect their women and children. Turning the other cheek is indeed beautiful, but only contextually. Not everybody should turn the other cheek. I believe that you are a good person. I just don't want you to not do anything against oppression or oppressors. And I also want you to genuinely understand the point of view of oppressed people. It's just not some nuisance that you don't think about. It is profoundly important.
Thank you for that comment, @ryameen " ' Virtue would have been to turn the other cheek.' Do you know how ridiculous it sounds to people other than yourselves? " 🤔 I have highlighted this sentence to help people slow down to give attention to what you write. Buns were handed out at infant school on Commonwealth Day and we were to celebrate our British world heritage. This was before 1960. We need to consider our attitudes and where and when we acquired them with a broader attention. 🧑🤝🧑👭👫👬🥯🥯🥯🥯🥯🥯🥯🥯 🤔

Elizabeth, for you to stumble upon him, speaks to your journey. I can speak for all when i say, im glad your journey led you to this bridge of knowledge acquisition.
Thank you for sharing such an interesting conversation. The ‘Semitic Monotheism’ is indeed an appealing concept to me, as is the term ‘Abrahamic faiths’. The Quran describes Abraham as a ‘Hanif’ ie. an upright person who believed in a monotheistic God. This word ‘Hanif’ is what I am also drawn to.
Dude he speaks good English doesn't mean he is brilliant, he choose to follow a man who slept with a prepubescent little child, like you people..theres nothing brilliancy in that.
Wonderful podcast. Thoroughly enjoyed it and am glad that you were so open and interested in learning about different faith traditions and perspectives. If only everyone in this world was as open and sincere in accepting and listening to different point of views, the world would be a much better place. I look forward to seeing more of your channel's content. I would highly recommend you invite some other Islamic scholars on your channel as well, such as Imam Omar Suleiman, Hamza Yusuf, Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens), Dr. Ali Ataie, and Nouman Ali Khan so you can learn more about the Islamic faith and hopefully positively inform your audience regarding Islam as well.
Woah, a debrief like that earned a subscription. Very honest. Thought i was only watching for the Shaykh, guess i'll be sticking around to see other content you produce.
@@jonahtimothy Do you have to ask this ridiculous question when there are scholars all over the world who claim to be followers of Jesus who do not know Hebrew or Aramaic, the language of Jesus?
@@MalcolmX0 to read the bible or research about Jesus language is not a barrier, but to lean Islam or to research abt Muhammad arabic is a must.. Allah doesn't know any othe language.
@@jonahtimothy Language itself isn't a barrier to learning about Jesus, as translations can convey core ideas and teachings. However, understanding Jesus' original teachings in their most authentic form benefits from knowing His likely spoken languages, such as Aramaic or Hebrew. This can reveal deeper meanings, cultural nuances, and contextual insights that might get lost in translation. For example, certain Aramaic phrases used by Jesus, such as "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (Matthew 27:46), carry emotional depth that may not be fully conveyed in other languages. Additionally, Hebrew texts from the Old Testament, which Jesus often quoted, contain wordplays and metaphors tied to Jewish culture and beliefs. Moreover, the religious context of Jesus' time was shaped by the languages and traditions of Jewish law, making direct understanding of these languages valuable for interpreting His teachings accurately. This avoids reliance on interpretations that might be influenced by later theological developments, ensuring closer alignment with His authentic message.
@@MalcolmX0 the Quran confirms the previous scripture? And the previous scripture says jesus is God.. How do you know abt Muhammad and Quran only through your thafsirs and hadith. Quran or history of Muhammad is incomplete without other Islamic sources.
Peace! The conversation was really sophisticated in language n understanding, The Quraan speaks of contemplation about creation n then concluding there's a unique force behind creation. It's logical to have a good clean life. we have to follow our natural n unique make up by following the examples of the Prophets who have come with a clear sighs n manual for our pure existence. Books have been tampered by human beings which causes questions n confusion about the teachings. The Quraan is not changeable, it exists in its pure state as it's been memorized by millions of people by people of all ages,n its protected by the Creator himself. It's the last n final Testament confirmer of all the holy books before it ,to demonstrate how much the beautiful holy books have been tampered with. I have to say that our brother has obviously made deep contemplation, before making his intelligent choice. We have unity in diversity, Alhumdulillah( ALL praise to God Almighty).

Non-Muslim or Muslim, one can't deny how eloquent and smooth Dr Winter speaks on such thought-provoking topics.
Agreed
Thought provoking but brain jacking too. No logical answers in any Religion.
@@deepsareen1 Of course the secular atheists wish to spoil the spiritual milk by claiming we evolved from fish.
I benefited from this discussion in so many ways, Timothy Winters is such a great asset to this Ummah, there’s not many people like him left. Every time I listen to one of his talks or lectures I feel the need to level up my speaking skill & vocabulary. May Allah reward him.
How could Allah reward him if Avery from *God Logic* podcasts thinks it’s a contradiction to the GOD of Abraham?
@@Kirk-d7vThe God of Abraham -Prophet Ibrahim in the Qur’an-did not advise people to do genocide against another group of people. That part is in the Old Testament, you must be aware, I’m sure.
See, the God of Ibrahim is no godfather gangster-psychopath, Astaghfirullah, for He does not permit the rapist to marry the victim of his crime--quite the contrary In Quran, which states that “You cannot inherit a woman against her will.”
The God of Abraham told Abraham in Genesis that he will father a “great nation” --and Hagira was not a concubine in the Qur’an, but his legal status wife from whom came Prophet Ismail--who was the predecessor of Prophet Muhammad, on whom be peace.
Therefore, as Imam Murad (Brother Tim Winters) noted, there is such a thing as “Semitic Monotheism” -which is the pure belief in One God, (without going astray and worshiping golden calves for a while, which God The Almighty disapproved of as some people became arrogant in their double-dealing worship styles).
Original Religion was always about worshiping Only One God: Since times ancient.
If you read the entire Bible carefully, you’ll find that Semitic Monotheism--that Prophets were simply messengers from God Almighty to regular humans like you and me and anyone else.

Thank you sister for inviting our brother in Islam Dr Winter. We are proud of our big family around the world. The Ummah of mohamed PBUH 🗺️ 💚
Beautiful interview. Sheikh Abdal Hakim Murad is a gem of a person.
Thank you! More or less, it seems to me that the aim of this episode was to understand the Islamic dimension of this very British man. But, for me, a non-British Muslim, it was a way to do something else: a way to understand the Britishness of this very Muslim man. :) I've been following Shaykh Abdal Hakim's work for over a decade and I've been to Britain over a dozen times, and so both the Shaykh himself and Britishness as a social construct are of huge interest to me, and in this interview Shaykh Abdal Hakim provides more insight regarding his upbringing and background than he ever has in any other interview or talk, to my knowledge. Although he's obviously an outgoing person in terms of giving lectures, etc., he seems to be very shy and reserved when it comes to his personal life. So well done for enabling us to gain all this insight, Elizabeth.
Agree and well put. His perspective is quite unique and his upbringing is obviously an impactful one that shapes his practice and character today. Generally it is also helpful to be mindful of privilege that a given individual has, and he certainly does come from a privileged background, which explains his perspective a lot.

May be he wanted marry and sleep with prepubescent little child like muhammad, and that's why he choose Islam.
Thanks Elizabeth for bringing Dr Tim to your podcast. It’s timely to introduce the Islamic thought to the Christian audience so that there’s a necessary dialogue happening. Islam is not “the other”. Islam and Christianity have a lot in common than some try to deliberately portray. Islam has a lot to offer for the West and rest of the world. If we stop fighting and start listening to each other, we will be in a much more peaceful and unified world.

Dr Winter is too humble to mention or rather detail his spiritual path and progress.. but as someone who has followed his work for many years now and knowing a lot of his traditional background, his unseen relationship or station with God is far greater than most know and a lot more than his theological knowledge. He, like all great Sufi practicioners, is an iceberg - what we see is only a fraction of his extensive relationship with God.
"his unseen relationship or station with God is far greater than most know" You can't presume to know that. That's why we Muslims say نحسبه كذلك and لا نزكي على الله احدا. Your excess in praise and admiration is antithetical to Islamic teachings.

@@prowest6715 rich teachings ?the champion of taqiyya.
Indeed, mashallah for both sheiks.
Alhamdulillah both sheikhs are jewels.
That's a good interview Ms. Oldfield. It's always enjoyable to listen to Dr. Winter. He is someone of profound learning and he is a deeply spiritual person. Our understanding of the Holy Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) is quite deep. You would have to talk to him and other scholars at quite a lot of depth to be able to understand that. I hope the Bible has kept some sayings of Jesus (peace be upon him) recorded where he left instructions about what to do when faced with oppression. If the writers of Bible hadn't done so, then it would be a most profound problem for people who have been and are being oppressed by nations who used to be Christian or have a significant Christian population today. Forgiving those who commit a crime by mistake, or those who have a sincere deportment toward their sin is helpful. But forgiving the arrogant oppressor, empowers and boldens him or her. Turning the other cheek makes no sense to people who are oppressed when the oppressors are preaching that theology. It only feels beautiful to those who have no empathy at all. It is totally unhelpful to others. This is the reason why the British or the French or the Italian had practically no effect in converting people in India, North Africa and Middle East. My ancestors in India accepted and invited many people from outside. And people from outside made it its home. But the European colonialists really didn't impress us at all. Islam on the other hand stayed in the subcontinent for centuries and is still there. You have to think about how this sort of thing about turning the other cheek of Jesus sounds to us. It's like our oppressors have every right to destroy us in their civilizing effort. They have all the right to destroy our institutions and loot our wealth to the point of causing such massive imbalance in the the world which is still affecting us. But us, defending ourselves from such horrors is not a virtue. Virtue would have been to turn the other cheek. Do you know how ridiculous it sounds to people other than yourselves? You might know Peter Oborne. I request that you read his books and do an interview with him. He is a Christian. There are ways to be a Christian in which you don't see that redacted version of Jesus's message to be a true portrayal of Jesus. You believe in a loving God. A loving God cannot love oppressors among his creation, until he or she repents. And a loving God does not consider the martyr who give up his or her life to defend people to be morally inferior to the one who turns the other cheek. I believe turning the other cheek is very very contextual. It simply can't be Jesus' full message on how to deal with oppressors. It's a great dishonour to imagine that Jesus wouldn't physically fight to save oppressed from the oppressors. And that he wouldn't empower the oppressed to protect their women and children. Turning the other cheek is indeed beautiful, but only contextually. Not everybody should turn the other cheek. I believe that you are a good person. I just don't want you to not do anything against oppression or oppressors. And I also want you to genuinely understand the point of view of oppressed people. It's just not some nuisance that you don't think about. It is profoundly important.
Thank you for that comment, @ryameen " ' Virtue would have been to turn the other cheek.' Do you know how ridiculous it sounds to people other than yourselves? "

@@jonahtimothy Do you have to ask this ridiculous question when there are scholars all over the world who claim to be followers of Jesus who do not know Hebrew or Aramaic, the language of Jesus?
@@MalcolmX0 to read the bible or research about Jesus language is not a barrier, but to lean Islam or to research abt Muhammad arabic is a must..
Allah doesn't know any othe language.
@@jonahtimothy Language itself isn't a barrier to learning about Jesus, as translations can convey core ideas and teachings. However, understanding Jesus' original teachings in their most authentic form benefits from knowing His likely spoken languages, such as Aramaic or Hebrew. This can reveal deeper meanings, cultural nuances, and contextual insights that might get lost in translation. For example, certain Aramaic phrases used by Jesus, such as "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (Matthew 27:46), carry emotional depth that may not be fully conveyed in other languages. Additionally, Hebrew texts from the Old Testament, which Jesus often quoted, contain wordplays and metaphors tied to Jewish culture and beliefs.
Moreover, the religious context of Jesus' time was shaped by the languages and traditions of Jewish law, making direct understanding of these languages valuable for interpreting His teachings accurately. This avoids reliance on interpretations that might be influenced by later theological developments, ensuring closer alignment with His authentic message.
@@MalcolmX0 the Quran confirms the previous scripture? And the previous scripture says jesus is God..
How do you know abt Muhammad and Quran only through your thafsirs and hadith. Quran or history of Muhammad is incomplete without other Islamic sources.
Peace! The conversation was really sophisticated in language n understanding, The Quraan speaks of contemplation about creation n then concluding there's a unique force behind creation. It's logical to have a good clean life. we have to follow our natural n unique make up by following the examples of the Prophets who have come with a clear sighs n manual for our pure existence. Books have been tampered by human beings which causes questions n confusion about the teachings. The Quraan is not changeable, it exists in its pure state as it's been memorized by millions of people by people of all ages,n its protected by the Creator himself. It's the last n final Testament confirmer of all the holy books before it ,to demonstrate how much the beautiful holy books have been tampered with. I have to say that our brother has obviously made deep contemplation, before making his intelligent choice. We have unity in diversity, Alhumdulillah( ALL praise to God Almighty).
