    11:00 I'd love a deep dive! Feel free to bring other Muslims with other views and you'll have a panel on Islamic causality like the ones Dr. Khalil Andani makes

    10:37 Interesting. But perhaps this backfires. The Kalam Cosmological argument relies on causation to infer that the universe had a beginning. And that it was God who caused such a universe to exist. However, if causality is known via induction, it's much harder to believe in a beginning of a universe. I would say that causality is a priori, as Hamza Tzortzis has argued in his book The Divine Reality

      The Kalam cosmological argument is a Western interpretation of the Islamic argument known as Burhan al-Huduth al-Ajsam. I may create a video in the future to explore the differences and demonstrate how the traditional Islamic argument is both more coherent and certain. Furthermore, this position does not negate causation; rather, it affirms causation as the sole rational possibility. However, it rejects the notion that correlations observed in the natural world represent actual causal relationships, asserting instead that Allah alone is the true cause.

    This is such an amazing video. I loved your explanation. Do you think it's acceptable to not believe in occasionalism and still be a Sunni? I think Ibn Taymiyyah believed in secondary causation

    • @TheGhazaalian

      JazakAllahu Khayran, my dear. The issue is that rejecting occasionalism, in its various forms, constitutes both a denial of the ijmāʿ of the Salaf and a rejection of clear Quranic verses. Moreover, it carries significant theological implications, reducing Allah to a deity with a deistic-like relationship with the world, an idea wholly incompatible with the essence of Islamic theology.

    Does Allah act with purpose? I know he acts wih no need but does he have purposes?

    • @TheGhazaalian
      @TheGhazaalian  3 місяці тому +1

      Depends on what you mean, if you mean that He assigns purposes to creations, then yes He does.
      If you however mean, that He acts because of these purposes, then no, nothing causes Him to act.

      Nothing compels Him to do anything, this however does not mean that His actions have no wisdom.
      As He Himself says,
      “And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play.”
      [Quran 21:16]
