@@dahirhussein1839 So do you think islam is truth? but remember islam will be crushed if is not from God do you agree? i am very sure islam is false. Why? because you can't find the Valid way for forgivness of sins to avoid God wrath! as you find it in the Gospel ! in islam you never will know if God love you or not forgive you or not think about you or not ! everytime you are not sure ! living in fear so that he hopefully is glad to not Crush you under his foot!! Now that is Devil. thats why you need Jesus not the idiot Allah ! Allah is Devil ! your Allah is not the real God of Christian! do you want Jesus Christ ? then you must have Jesus who is in the Gospel Not ISA .
@@jmo5604 Do you think Christianity is true? do you believe to conflicting/contradictory statements can be true? do you believe someone can be White European and Black African at the same time? *No* ...... because it's a contradictory statement. Anyway let see how genuine or honest are you? and how genuine and logical your believes are ? I believe you claim to base your views on bible .. so do you believe bible is the word of god? so if it is word of god why does it make contradictory statements? do you believe God makes mistakes or inspires mistakes/contradictions? Can you explain which below statement is true? Repentance is necessary. *(Acts 3:19; Luke.3:3.)* Repentance is not necessary. *(Romans.**11:29**.)* Both statements can't be true one of them has to be wrong? Is romans a false book or acts or Luke? Anyway if you don't see any contradiction, let me try another example *You claimed that believe in Jesus leads to salvation ? do you actually know what your contradictory corrupt book talks about salvation ? * Non-believers obtain mercy. *(Romans.**11:32**.)* Only believers obtain mercy. *(John.**3:36**; Romans.**14:23**.)* Only baptized believers obtain *(mercy. Mark.**16:16**.)* Mercy cannot be predetermined. *(Romans.**9:18**.)* Can all above statements be true? or which one will you pick and chose to be true? if you chose what does it make the other statements? What do you think about these statements Jesus approved of destroying enemies. Luke.19:27. Jesus said to love your enemies. Matthew.5:44. Is Jesus delusional? does he suffer from schizophrenia? why is he making conflicting contradictory statements ? or the book which you base your believe on is corrupt as it fails the simple test *Law of non contradiction* which is a minimalist requirement for truth ? Answer me ...there are so many contradiction in bible it's just funny and sad that you associate these thing *(lies)* with god, anyway tell me am I missing something how can you reconcile plethora of contradictions in this book and believe it's true?
I would like to see Zahabis views on the Quran. He says he met very few Muslims that understand the Quran and many important concepts within the Quran. I would like a video of him and the host discussing what he meant in detail with examples. I'd like to.see him explain to someone like me that is still learning.
My thought exactly! I feel so privileged to understand English and to have found this channel without even knowing it existed. Alhamdu lillah, such a blessing. For ever grateful, alhamdu lillah
As an advice brother to not say things about someone just because you see something you like. Im not saying hes bad no not at all but as a muslim our role model should always be only the prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him. Just an advice brother i mean no disrespect at all.
@@IosifStalin2 he is a practicing muslim and this is a muslim channel so they will generally believe anything he says without questioning. he has interesting things to say, but as a non muslim, i will not take it at face value. he is obviously biased towards believing islam is the truth (which is his choice) but his bias obviously influences his views (just as bias affects all of us).
what is the benefit of Islam if your sins never will be forgiven? because there is no Valid Principle of forgivness of sins ! even if Muslims say God is the most merciful and forgiver ! but yet the Process of forgivness is missing !! it is not like in the Gospel Jesus Christ on the Cross he deal with he Crush the power of the Devil (sin) But it is up to you and me if we want to join him so that his protection will be valid for Us ! and remember by saying Jesus took our sins That does not mean we are free to do sin NO ! otherwise we deceive our self!
3 hours wrestling training then 2.5 hours intellectual explanation. This is peak human performance. Nice philosophical talk. Very clear and concise unlike most popular modern 'philosophers'.
@@ZuluZoro legit you are not wrong I think the way firaz is able to boil down so many complex topics into simple thought experiments is absolutely genius and saves so much time
You have no idea how much of a resource this channel has been to me. And to think it's all for free... Can only say jazakhallahu khayr Paul! 🙏🏿❤ Barakallahu feek!
Not only brother Firas is a respected MMA instructor but also a gifted thinker. Absolutely loved the discussion 😊 merci Paul et Firas, je vous admire beaucoup.
Dude, listening to Firas is always such a freaking pleasure. He is such a deep thinker, an excellent philosopher, and so eloquently spoken. Thank you for sharing!
@@BloggingTheology Not super familiar with your channel, but after listening to this discussion, I'd love for you to get Bernardo Kastrup on the show! He is an Idealist, has his own school of Idealism called Analytical Idealism, is a non-dualist, and his takedowns of Materialism are absolutely incredible.
Yes.. absolutely true..there is no will but the Will of Allah Almighty Only. Every single ion / atom , at rest or moving, is by the Will of Allah Only. The planets , the Universe, etc humans are made up of atoms. Allah's Amazing Grace. Nothing happens unless Allah willeth. Allah is our Protector and unto Him do we put our absolute trust. At Tawba or Repentance. :. 51 *The Holy Qur'an*
This was a very useful and deep exposition into irreducible oneness ( Tawheed) and the compass of the inner consciousness ( Fitra ) being the epicentre avenue to Truth (al Haq)
This is one of the most brilliant talks out in the internet right now. Firas is incredible! Thank you again for another brilliant video Paul, as always 🙏
Firas is an exceptional guest. His breakdown of epistemological nuances and the clarity in his delivery of the subject matter was top class. This episode was so good I had to listen to it twice to really take a grasp of what was being said. Once again br Paul, thank you for the content and may Allah reward your efforts. ❤️👌🏽
Such a long discussion but I was glued to it. I never get tired of Firas talking philosophy! Thanks a lot Paul for having such great discussion, you steered it beautifully!
Firas needs to make his own philosophical series on UA-cam. With his own channel like Vsauce or the school of life, or have philosophical podcasts like Joe Rogan.
I must thank you and Firas for this wonderful discussion. Learned quite a lot and I hope you continue to have more discussions with him in the future! JAK
Amazing conversation, loved each and every second of it. May Allah reward you both. Coach Firas is on some different level. And thank you brother Paul for bringing him on BT.
@Danuta Grakowski LA ILAHA IL ALLAH. If you knew the difference between ilah and Allah you would hang you had in shame from the embarrassment of your comment. That's why we have books or at least google.
@Danuta Grakowski So you didn't bother to look up the difference between ilah and Allah and correct yourself. If you are a christian or hindu, well those two religions are idolatrous. I assume then you must be a jew if you don't worship idols.
@Danuta Grakowski the illah the shahad mean idols or god with a lower case and Allah actually would translate to "The God" the one and only God, illah meaning you are negating literally every false idol not just physcial idols but the idols of te mind meaning attachments that you hold so dearly that are of worldy matters and other things like praising a celebrity hardcore fanboy. minor form of shirk is still a shirk meaning you should never be too attached too something and for atheists it is the belife that nothing gets produced into something naturally or by randomness which is deity they are projecting in their mind. this is why illah is their it starts with negating all false gods.
Aslm Paul wow u did it again.. One of the most amazing talks worth listening to again again and again... So much to learn... Thank you Paul Allah bless all of u abundantly
Thank you so much, Mr. Paul; this was a highly informative and enlightening discussion. We would be delighted to have you invite Mr. Zahabi again on the channel! Jazak Allah Khayr, both of you.
Paul, I regret thinking about not watching this video based on the title thinking its going to be boring. When i watched it I found it fascinating! It would have been the first video of yours I would have missed. Boy, i wouldnt have known it but i would have missed one of the most fascinating of discourses on your channel. Ive promised myself never to make that mistake again.
Truly amazing vid from both of you, alhamdulillah I have learnt alot, but have so much more to learn insha'Allah. May Allah increase us in knowledge and wisdom with sincerity.
Thank you, Paul. Enlightening and thought-provoking. Makes me reexamine the wondrous centrality and gift of our fitra - which becomes the inner eye to know the One Reality, and the Seen/UnSeen world. I was familiar with Al-Ghazali's understandings of Surah An-Nur, and appreciate Firas' insights about these verses. I remember my young 4yr. old son asking me one day. '"When I was a concept in Allah's Mind, what were you doing?' He simply wanted to know what my life was like without him, but you can imagine my astonishment at the wording of his question. I had told him that he had been with Allah before he was sent to me. And he, being a creative child who loved to draw and make things with his hands, innately understood that Allah too had created him from an idea in His Mind. The beauty of the fitra!
Salemualauikum, I feel the knowledge enter the top of my head and the anxiety leave through my temples ,when I hear and read articulation of the truth by these learned and "men of understanding " who express my feeling as a Muslim . Alhamdulillah and thank you Br Paul for your effort and may Allah reward all insha'Allah from Ireland.
Paul, I admire you so much. Many speakers ego would have butted in and interrupted and tried to steer the conversation. However you did an amazing job letting Firas speak and flow. I’ve shared this video with many friends. God bless you
Thank you so very much, Sir! I was so surprised by this long-awaited appointment that I was very much taken aback, and jumped up and down a little. Thank you so very much, once again, and please do keep it up! :D May Allah (SWT) bless both you and brother Firas!
The nutshell provided by Firas Zahabi in the end has connected the dots he presented. A very good presentation on fitra, knowing ourselves and souls, explanation of ayats, kun fayakun, words, knowing Allah Azzawajal and refuting false beliefs.
When I saw that both of you in a same video discussing I knew I had to watch. Never disappointed from both of you well done. Always keeping us thinking and progressing positively !
Br. Paul, I'm half way watching this episode and I'm so so happy you brought Zahabi! The best way I can describe how I'm feeling is as if I went to the brain gym, where you build the muscles of the brain not the body! 🧠 Jazaka Allahu khayran my brother!
Truth has this effect of making you feel complete and not missing something. While false makes you feel something is missing! God is Truth that's why we feel complete when we're reminded of Him! Very good discussion Paul. You're so influential. Jazakalah for your efforts!
I could listen to Paul and Firas do laundry all day. Very fun way to explain philosophy and Islamic philosophy specifically. This vid is a degree in philosophy in 2 hours
GSP was my favorite fighter and through him I get to know about Firas Zahabi. I always admire Firas because he trained GSP to become a world champion, after watching this video I admire him more. What a guy, immaculate knowledge, a great grip on philosophy. Masha Allah. May Allah guide GSP to the right path. Ameen
@@zakzak613 Some do.. yes! but I don't think it is representative of the wider audience.. Anyways Hamza Yusuf is one of the greatest intellectuals of this generation & would be great to see him on the show, in sha Allah
I don't know how i missed this but wow am i excited...Thank you again Paul for bringing these excellent discussions to us. Always enjoy Firas on podcasts. May Allah increase you brother
This was amazing! Alhamdulillah, thank you brother Paul for inviting brother Firas. Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. I love it when you said "Alhamdulillah" in the beginning. Mashallah. :D hearing that made me so happy. alhamdulillah.
Firas Zahabi always been one of my favorites, and he took on a heavy burden with this topic. Nonetheless what an intellectual display, he really made me proud. Great job Paul for making this episode happen; May Allah preserve you both 🤲🏾
Really enjoyed this please add this to your podcast library, conversations like this need to be preserved Jazak Allah Khair brothers for a beautiful discussion. Blogging Theology's next mile stone is a deserved 1 mil subscribers.
Subhana allah,I did enjoy this topic very much and i learn it alot May allah reward you both. Thank you again paul without you i wouldn't have a chance to get to know this brother jzk❤
This guy is incredibly smart, thanks for the philosophy crash course, now I may understand some of the brothers at Thoughts adventure podcast talking about.
That gravity example just blew me away. We assign consciousness to abstract concepts. We talk about nature as if it has a memory, as if it has agency. We talk about karma and assign it a role in exacting punishments and rewards…
Every time I listen to brother Firas, I feel like my brain is going to explode! So incredibly deep thinking, masha Allah! Let me go and dip my head in a bucket of cold water and hopefully Allah subhan wata’la will allow me to retain 1% of this session! May Allah increase both of the brothers and forgive them and forgive us!
Great presentation. Fascinating subject. Humbled by this logical approach to understanding Quran... I found the perspective refreshing and courageous. Great speaker, so grateful. 👍🏽😘
I am muslim and I was rased on Islam from birth. I always believed in Allah and had and still have complete confidence on him and I am truly thankful for that..my name is "blessed" and I am indeed blessed thank Allah. Now.. I never liked reading books.. I don't know why ! Even I know the importance of a book and reading.. maybe because of Media I was exposed to since early age.. that's an other topic. When I listened to the knowledge of Firas, it made sense to me.. know I understand better what Allah had done for me and for all of us human.. sure I understand it better but not all of course , because only Allah knows it all , he's the most knowing ! .. I always ask Allah to teach me more and more .. to teach me good knowledge , a knowledge that brings me closer to him in order to satisfy him of myself .. and now I am in search of that good knowledge.. and it's clear to me that this video is a response.. and I hope I come acrosse to more videos of good knowledge like this one ..thank Allah .. and thank you sir !
i follow both channels but more of firas zahabis mma videos and bjj, i never expected a collaboration i am pleasantly surprised, firas is such an intelligent guy.
Coach Firas just 🤯 every time. Subhan’Allah May Allah preserve him, and also our Br Paul for his efforts. This is definitely up there as one of the best ones BL’s done. More of Coach Firas please 🙏🏽
Assalam Aleykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers! For a person who is quite far from philosophy it was an enlightenment of some sort indeed! Thank you very much for a beautiful and exciting conversation! The way you both related the information made sense to me. Jazakallahu Khair, both of you!
Gotta admire Paul's insane work ethic, bringing in intellectuals from all corners of the world on an almost daily basis.

Resonated with it for over a 100 times :
Thanks, Paul for this wonderful talk with brother Firas. Hope you continue having him on your channel!
When I saw that both of you in a same video discussing I knew I had to watch. Never disappointed from both of you well done. Always keeping us thinking and progressing positively !
JazakAllah khayr to you and your guest speaker. I consider myself fortunate that I have the opportunity to listen to this blog🙏🏽🙏🏽💚💚👍🏾👍🏾
Alhamdulillah
8 minutes into it and it's one of the Gem of yours Paul. Good work and collaborations Sir.
This talk is mindblowing and fascinating. Firas is the most brilliant mind of our time
Br. Paul, I'm half way watching this episode and I'm so so happy you brought Zahabi!
The best way I can describe how I'm feeling is as if I went to the brain gym, where you build the muscles of the brain not the body! 🧠
Jazaka Allahu khayran my brother!
Thank you for this mental gold!
Truth has this effect of making you feel complete and not missing something.
While false makes you feel something is missing!
God is Truth that's why we feel complete when we're reminded of Him!
Very good discussion Paul. You're so influential. Jazakalah for your efforts!
It's Firas!
I remember his legendary podcast on the Joe Rogan show

Thank you brothers really….. you made me practice my religion more ❤️
Barakallahufeek
Wow! Didn't ever expect this collab, JazakAllah khair brothers. Can't wait to dig in, I'm sure it's going to be enlightening.
My time well spent. Thanks guys
mashaAllah such knowledge spreading among us is what we need.
I could listen to Paul and Firas do laundry all day. Very fun way to explain philosophy and Islamic philosophy specifically. This vid is a degree in philosophy in 2 hours
Just got done listening to this on Spotify this one was the best ep so far, I need a whole series with firas zahabi inshAllah
GSP was my favorite fighter and through him I get to know about Firas Zahabi. I always admire Firas because he trained GSP to become a world champion, after watching this video I admire him more. What a guy, immaculate knowledge, a great grip on philosophy. Masha Allah. May Allah guide GSP to the right path. Ameen
Certainly commencing 2022 off with a bang Sheikh Paul :) Excellent discussion.
Alhamdulilla! Many thanks Sarfraaz.
I can listen to Firas for hours...
May Allāh bless him.
The coach ❤️ The philosopher.. Thank you Paul for this.. Waiting for Hamza Yusuf next
Hamza yusuf is a great scholar! Some ignorant people on this channel are attacking shaykh hamza only with ignorance!
@@zakzak613 Some do.. yes! but I don't think it is representative of the wider audience.. Anyways Hamza Yusuf is one of the greatest intellectuals of this generation & would be great to see him on the show, in sha Allah
Hamza is Sufi don't wait for him
I don't know how i missed this but wow am i excited...Thank you again Paul for bringing these excellent discussions to us. Always enjoy Firas on podcasts. May Allah increase you brother
This was amazing! Alhamdulillah, thank you brother Paul for inviting brother Firas. Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. I love it when you said "Alhamdulillah" in the beginning. Mashallah. :D hearing that made me so happy. alhamdulillah.
Firas Zahabi always been one of my favorites, and he took on a heavy burden with this topic. Nonetheless what an intellectual display, he really made me proud. Great job Paul for making this episode happen; May Allah preserve you both 🤲🏾
Mashallah. Another impressive interview. Bravo Bro Paul.

By far Paul Williams is my favourite blogger no questions about it

Wa alaykumu s-salam
Really enjoyed this please add this to your podcast library, conversations like this need to be preserved Jazak Allah Khair brothers for a beautiful discussion. Blogging Theology's next mile stone is a deserved 1 mil subscribers.
May Allah bless you brother Paul - your work is greatly appreciated by the ummah and may Allah grant you the highest jaanah
Thanks Paul!! Firas Zahabi is a great coach , philosopher and an amazing human being!
Couldn't agree more!
I love brother Firas, brother Paul this channel is amazing, keep up the good work, may Allah reward your efforts
Thank you Paul for bringing on Firas. Brother Paul keep doing what your doing. I'm benefiting from your videos a lot. Jzk khairaan.
Much appreciated!
Subhana allah,I did enjoy this topic very much and i learn it alot
May allah reward you both.
Thank you again paul without you i wouldn't have a chance to get to know this brother jzk❤
Thank you Paul...I explored another gem in Firas..
This guy is incredibly smart, thanks for the philosophy crash course, now I may understand some of the brothers at Thoughts adventure podcast talking about.
Thanks Paul.for bringing him to your program. I enjoyed it.
💞💯💕
Need to go Through it again during a Walk
Good guest Paul. Thanks for your work.
That gravity example just blew me away. We assign consciousness to abstract concepts. We talk about nature as if it has a memory, as if it has agency. We talk about karma and assign it a role in exacting punishments and rewards…
Paul may Allah grant you the highest levels of jannah. You work very hard and I want you to know that your efforts are not going unnoticed!
Whoa!!! U got firas online!!!
I'm a big fan of his. Great guest 👍
+1 , Shared on FB. Thanks for talking to brother Firas, loved it MashaAllah ❤️.
Every time I listen to brother Firas, I feel like my brain is going to explode! So incredibly deep thinking, masha Allah!
Let me go and dip my head in a bucket of cold water and hopefully Allah subhan wata’la will allow me to retain 1% of this session! May Allah increase both of the brothers and forgive them and forgive us!
100% I am feeling the same as you... its so intresting but mind is so overloaded with only 1% of it
Always a pleasure to listen to brother Firas
MashaAllah. The legend Firas Zahabi

Always great to listen to Coach Firas and obviously Paul.
Great presentation.
Fascinating subject.
Humbled by this logical approach to understanding Quran... I found the perspective refreshing and courageous.
Great speaker, so grateful.
👍🏽😘
i just watched the video, and this discussion blow me away, thank you
THIS IS GONNA BE SO GOOD INSHALLAH
JazakAllah for this discussion brother Paul. Firas is such a sharp mind, its a pleasure listening to him discuss with you.

WOW this is going to be great إن شاء الله ... I have a funny feeling I will be listening to this more than once
I dont have to think really hard to understand Firazs Philosophy for dummies.
What a fantastic communicator.
As a catholic and a martial arts his view points hit hard and tied me more to what i am doing in life and my purpose is reinvigorated.
May your Fitra lead you to Islam.
Read the quran
JazakAllahu Khairan Paul for this discussion. I'm so glad I found your channel.
I am muslim and I was rased on Islam from birth. I always believed in Allah and had and still have complete confidence on him and I am truly thankful for that..my name is "blessed" and I am indeed blessed thank Allah. Now.. I never liked reading books.. I don't know why ! Even I know the importance of a book and reading.. maybe because of Media I was exposed to since early age.. that's an other topic. When I listened to the knowledge of Firas, it made sense to me.. know I understand better what Allah had done for me and for all of us human.. sure I understand it better but not all of course , because only Allah knows it all , he's the most knowing ! .. I always ask Allah to teach me more and more .. to teach me good knowledge , a knowledge that brings me closer to him in order to satisfy him of myself .. and now I am in search of that good knowledge.. and it's clear to me that this video is a response.. and I hope I come acrosse to more videos of good knowledge like this one ..thank Allah .. and thank you sir !
These conversations never get old. Listening to it again.
❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹
i follow both channels but more of firas zahabis mma videos and bjj, i never expected a collaboration i am pleasantly surprised, firas is such an intelligent guy.
Coach Firas just 🤯 every time. Subhan’Allah May Allah preserve him, and also our Br Paul for his efforts. This is definitely up there as one of the best ones BL’s done. More of Coach Firas please 🙏🏽
Assalam Aleykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers! For a person who is quite far from philosophy it was an enlightenment of some sort indeed! Thank you very much for a beautiful and exciting conversation! The way you both related the information made sense to me. Jazakallahu Khair, both of you!
Wa alaykumu s-salam
Amazing God bless both of you!
More of this please.... Jazakallahu khoiron
Great discussion and deep philosophical points by Firas bless u .Paul u r doing a wonderful job👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
