Is the Quran a Miracle? Hassan Radwan 2018-08-05 | Quotes from Muslim scholars who rejected the Qur'an's claim to be a miracle:Al-Jaʿd ibn Dirham, tutor to the Umayyad Caliph Marwan, said "The Qur'an's eloquence is not a miracle and people can do the like of it and better."(1)The Mu'tazilite scholar Abu Musa said "People are able to produce the like of the Qurʾān as regards eloquence, and composition and rhetorical beauty."(2)The 11th century Sunni scholar Abu al-Qushairy said: "We do not claim that everything in the Qurʾān is in the highest rank of eloquence."(3)Ibn al-Rawandi (former Mu'tazilite scholar) (d. 910 ad) said "Indeed the Qurʾān is not the speech of a wise god. In it are contradictions and mistakes and passages that are in the realms of the absurd."(4)Al-Razi (The famous polymath, physician, alchemist, philosopher, and important figure in the history of medicine. He also wrote on logic, astronomy and grammar.) “By God, we are amazed that you say the Qur’ān is a miracle when it is full of contradictions. It is a narration of ancient myths, it has no benefit, and it is not proof of anything.” (5)1. Mustafa Sadiq al-Rafiì, "The Miraculous Nature of the Qurʾān and the Prophetic Rhetoric." Page 160.2.

Brief moment from a friendly chat at Speakers Corner Hassan Radwan 2020-08-06 | I rarely go to Speaker’s Corner these days, because there are far too many people just shouting aggressively at each other rather than actually trying to understand each other’s perspectives. Instead it’s just about looking for ways to trip people up and undermine them. However it happens to be my local park and as it was a lovely day on Sunday I thought I’d have a stroll around. I came across Danny Shine who is a fascinating character - who styles himself as a social experimentalist and goes around central London with a megaphone basically challenging preconceptions in his own amusing way. I saw him chatting to a couple of Orthodox Jews and thought I’d listen in. Yesterday I found that the conversation had been recorded and uploaded to YouTube, so I thought I’d share a short clip that I think was an interesting moment.btw most of Danny's talk was about "Stop having children" which seems to be his new thing. Though I'm not sure how seriously one should take what he says as his actual beliefs since he seems more into just challenging norms as a form of "performance art" - but here's the link to the full video FYI:youtube.com/watch?v=uMsq5M1LNq0Danny Shine's own channel can be found here:youtube.com/user/spiritualentertainer

God in the Quran Hassan Radwan 2020-07-12 | Of course much of this also applies to the Bible. But as I was a Muslim for many years and that is the religion I'm familiar with, I focus on Islam and generally leave it to Ex-Christians to critique the Bible.

Sabbath Breakers Turned into Monkeys & Pigs Hassan Radwan 2020-03-08 | Verses referenced:"Ask them about the townsfolk by the sea, how they broke the Sabbath when their fish came to them openly on the Sabbath but when it was not the Sabbath they didn’t come to them. Thus we tested them because they were wrongdoers.""And when a community among them said: Why do you preach to a folk whom God is about to destroy or punish with a dreadful punishment, they said: In order to be free from guilt before your Lord, and that haply they may ward off (evil).""And when they forgot that whereof they had been reminded, We rescued those who forbade wrong, and visited those who did wrong with dreadful punishment because they were wrongdoers.""So when they transgressed that which they were forbidden, We said unto them: Be ye apes despised and loathed! "(7:163-166)“Say, "Shall I inform you of what is worse than that as a penalty from Allah? It is those who Allah has cursed and brought His wrath upon and made them monkeys & pigs.” (5:60)“So We made this punishment an example to their own and to succeeding generations and a lesson to those who fear God.” (2:65-66)Shabir Ally's original video:youtube.com/watch?v=esUChiT70bA

The Qurans Miracle of Haman Hassan Radwan 2020-01-23 | A brief analysis of the miracle claim regarding the figure of Haman in the Qur'an.Hermann Ranke's book of Ancient Egyptian personal names is available online at the link below:http://www.egyptology.ru/scarcebooks.htm#RankeNouman Ali Khan's video on Haman can be found at the following link:youtube.com/watch?v=i1mSHELEn74&t=13s*UPDATE*Muslims themselves now reject Maurice Bucaille's miracle claim. See the quote below from the Islamic Website called "Islamic Awareness" which agrees with what I said in my video:"Although Dr. Bucaille’s suggestion sounds seductive, there are difficulties. At the request of an alliance of European evangelical Christian missionary organisations, Emeritus Professor Dr. Jürgen Osing of the Ägyptologisches Seminar, Freie Universität Berlin, a respected scholar of Egyptology, was solicited for his comments regarding Haman as depicted in the Qur’an and the identification of an ancient Egyptian inscription allegedly bearing his name. Subsequently in July 2009 Osing read an earlier version of our article (Titled: ‘Historical Errors Of The Qur'an: Pharaoh & Haman’, Last Updated: 4th June 2006) and made a number of observations, specifically focusing on our analysis of an inscription which is found on said door jamb kept in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna. Regarding this inscription which contained the name ‘ḥmn-ḥ’, we suggested the final ‘ḥ’ was not actually part of the name, stating the remaining letters could possibly be rendered as ‘Haman’. This is incorrect. The interpretation of the final ‘ḥ’ is questionable, but not its existence as part of the name. The final ‘ḥ’ is most probably an abbreviation forming a theophoric name. We would like to thank Osing for this correction. Additionally he pointed out that it seemed doubtful that this particular person being an overseer of the quarry workers, usually only of local importance, would have been entrusted with the building of such a mighty edifice, let alone be a close confidant of the Pharaoh – a consideration we had overlooked. For clarification we would like to emphasise that at no point had we ever stated the ‘Haman’ we thought was mentioned in this inscription was the Haman of the Qur’an. What we had said was that it was a possibility, however, this is no longer the case."islamic-awareness.org/quran/contrad/external/haman
Why Dont Most People Believe in Islam? Hassan Radwan 2020-01-17 | Why Don't Most People Believe in Islam?
Joha & the Sufi Saint Hassan Radwan 2020-01-12 | Some of you may be aware of the stories of the fictional folk figure called Joha - also known as Nasrudine or Mullah Nasrudine or Hoja amongst other names. His escapades are usually amusing & irreverent but often had a deeper meaning. I thought I’d share one story with you just for a bit of fun. (btw I have many more if you are interested. I used to collect them and other Islamic folk tales while at Islamia School because I used to make some into plays for the children to perform at the annual "Cultural Evening" we put on for parents and families. In fact I wrote two books of Islamic plays that I think are still available - published by Yusuf Islam's "Mountain of Light". There are many different claims on the Joha stories but they form part of an oral tradition (that includes stories from Alf Layla wa layla) stretching back a very long time. Storytellers (Rawi/Ruwah) used to travel from village to village and earn a living telling stories at gatherings and cafes. Of course they were not considered appropriate to be written down and paper was scarce and expensive and used for religious texts. The Rawi (storyteller) would tailor his story for his audience and geographical location, so the same story would end up having huge variations and versions. Often a local story would be appropriated and attributed to Joha. The stories often poked fun at authority which of course the common folk loved.

You Can Eat in Your House (24:61) Hassan Radwan 2019-09-06 | لَيْسَ عَلَى الأَعْمَى حَرَجٌ وَلا عَلَى الأَعْرَجِ حَرَجٌ وَلا عَلَى الْمَرِيضِ حَرَجٌ وَلا عَلَى أَنفُسِكُمْ أَن تَأْكُلُوا مِن بُيُوتِكُمْ أَوْ بُيُوتِ آبَائِكُمْ أَوْ بُيُوتِ أُمَّهَاتِكُمْ أَوْ بُيُوتِ إِخْوَانِكُمْ أَوْ بُيُوتِ أَخَوَاتِكُمْ أَوْ بُيُوتِ أَعْمَامِكُمْ أَوْ بُيُوتِ عَمَّاتِكُمْ أَوْ بُيُوتِ أَخْوَالِكُمْ أَوْ بُيُوتِ خَالاتِكُمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكْتُم مَّفَاتِحَهُ أَوْ صَدِيقِكُمْ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَأْكُلُوا جَمِيعًا أَوْ أَشْتَاتًا فَإِذَا دَخَلْتُم بُيُوتًا فَسَلِّمُوا عَلَى أَنفُسِكُمْ تَحِيَّةً مِّنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ مُبَارَكَةً طَيِّبَةً كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونVerse 61 of Surah An-Nur says:"There is no blame on the blind man, nor blame on the lame, nor blame on the sick, nor on yourselves that you eat from your houses, or your fathers' houses or your mothers' houses, or your brothers' houses, or your sisters' houses, or your father's brothers houses, or your father's sisters' houses, or your mother's brothers' houses, or your mother's sisters' houses, or (houses) you have the keys to, or your friends' (houses). It is no sin in you that you eat together or separately. So when you enter houses, greet each other with a salutation from Allah, blessed (and) goodly; Thus does Allah make clear the signs to you: that ye may understand."Is this divine eloquence?Was it necessary to send archangel Gabriel from heaven to earth to tell people they're allowed to eat in their houses?And if it must be said, couldn’t it be conveyed with a great deal more elegance & brevity? Which is, after all, the Qur'an's main claim to fame. For example, why not just say:"There’s no blame on you that you eat from your houses".What is the point of this bloated list. The only thing it achieves is to make the passage weak and cumbersome - as well as confusing? By specifying these people you only raise the question - what about those left off the list? Is there blame on them if they eat in their houses?For example it mentions the blind and the lame. So what about deaf people? Must they only eat in the street?

Who is Concealing the Truth? Hassan Radwan 2019-08-31 | A quick clarification. I’ve seen a couple of comments saying don’t know that it is only those who *know* Islam is true but still arrogantly reject it - are the ones who will go to Hell for eternity. That’s not true. I am of course well aware of that and I have talked about this before in previous video such as my video on the meaning of “Kafir”. Whenever I talk about eternal Hell in Islam I am talking about such people. I am not talking about those who never heard the message.However that doesn’t make eternal torture OK. As I explained in my video “Eternal Hell is Indefensible” even if it is only the very worst of the worst arrogant disbelievers - torturing them without end is simply insanely sadistic and utterly indefensible.Another point I have made in the past is that *this* belief in the definition of Kafir as someone who knows Islam is the truth but arrogantly conceals & denies it - makes no sense at all. Think about it. If they know Islam is true, then they know they will burn in Hell for all eternity.In the unlikely event of there actually being someone like that - they would obviously be mentally unwell and in need of help - not punishment.So let’s get one thing straight. People disbelieve because they don’t believe the claims they are being presented with are true. Plain and simple!It’s not because they secretly know Islam is true but are hiding it. Such a claim makes no sense at all.And since we’re on the subject of people who conceal the truth - who really is the one concealing the truth? God knows with infallible certainty exactly what would convince every single one of his creation that Islam is the truth. He knew full well when he set up this earthly test that it would be open to huge doubt. In fact he has purposely turned sign posts around to point in the opposite direction so as to confuse and mislead perfectly decent & reasonable people.He chose to keep himself hidden and allow his existence to be a matter of debate. Instead of making sure there was plenty of empirical, historical and archeological evidence to support everything he said in the Qur’an so people would immediately recognise it as the truth, he allowed us to find evidence that appears to contradict it.He has chosen not to protect any solid evidence from the 124,000 prophets he is supposed to have sent to mankind - allowing all trace of them to be lost.He chose not to protect the Bible, leading to millions of perfectly virtuous & loving people to commit shirk - the thing he hates most and will never forgive.He made the earth contain fossil evidence that seems to point to a long evolutionary & cumulative development of the human species resulting in imperfections, vestigial structures & redundant organs such as an appendix, rather than the instant and perfectly planned creation of Adam and Eve.He told us about the tribes of Gog & Magog trapped behind a great iron wall yet instead of leaving solid evidence to support the Qur’an so people would believe it, he made it look highly unlikely that two tribes of humans could survive and remain undetected for 2000 years.Instead of providing evidence that some humans in the past lived to a thousand years old he made Prophet Noah’s age of over 950 years as stated in the Qur’an, seem very implausible.He allowed psychological evidence to be overwhelmingly against the assertion that hitting a wife can solve marriage problems.Instead of allowing humans to uncover the remains of King Solomon’s palace or historical records attesting to his mighty kingdom, he allowed no trace of its existence to be found.Even the two most succesful methods God chose spread Islam - conquest and birth rates - do not inspire confidence in the truth of the message.Then if things could not get any worse he set the most obscenely cruel & sadistic punishment imaginable - eternal torture - while calling himself the Most Merciful of the Merciful.In short God appears to have done his best to facilitate doubt & disbelief amongst billions of people without it bearing the slightest relation to their virtue or lack of virtue - then set an unimaginably excessive and cruel punishment for failure.Tell me - who is the villain here?
Ill surely fill Hell with Jinn & People (32:13) Hassan Radwan 2019-08-31 | "If we had willed We could have given every soul its guidance, but the word from Me will come true; I will surely fill Hell with jinn and people all together" (32:13)This verse raises two fundamental questions:Firstly why didn’t God make everyone know for certain he exists and Islam is true?Muslims say because it would remove our free will. But that’s not true. Free will doesn’t evaporate when you know something exists. Iblis still had free will to rebel against God.On the contrary you have to first know God exists & Islam is true, in order to submit or arrogantly refuse. It's an essential prerequisite to submitting. You can't submit to something you don't know exists.Instead of being a test of whether one submits or refuses - it's a test of whether one is able to navigate through a bewildering array of conflicting claims and inconclusive information. In fact in the vast majority of cases it's merely a case of whether one is fortunate enough to be born to a Muslim family.God knew full well he was setting a test that billions of perfectly decent and reasonable people would fail.Which leads us to the second problem. The nature of God as presented in the Qur'an. A Merciful God who created humans ostensibly to give them a chance to attain eternal bliss, while knowing with infallible certainty that a huge proportion would fail and suffer eternal torture.Muslims insist that God doesn’t want anyone to go to Hell. That he gave everyone a chance to achieve paradise… But is that true?It may seem from our human perspective that those who go to Hell had a chance to achieve paradise, but that’s just an illusion. They never had a chance. They were destined for Hell before they were created.They didn't ask to be created & God had no need to create them. He created them for their benefit. But God knew they wouldn't benefit. God knew that creating them was condemning them to an eternity of suffering.The proposition Islam presents us is that there is Compassionate Divine Being existing in a state of sublime self-sufficient perfection - who has chosen as his ultimate objective - from infinite possibilities - one where a huge proportion of his creation will suffer unending misery and pain for all eternity.
Eternal Hell is Indefensible Hassan Radwan 2019-07-13 | ”I do not believe this doctrine: neither do you. If you did, you could not sleep one moment. Any man who believes it, and has within his breast a decent, throbbing heart, will go insane. A man who believes that doctrine and does not go insane has the heart of a snake and the conscience of a hyena... I have no respect for the man who will pollute the imagination of childhood with that infamous lie." Robert Ingersoll (1833 – 1899)إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَعَنَ الْكَافِرِينَ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ سَعِيراً خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَداً“Allah has cursed the unbelievers and has prepared for them a blazing fire wherein they will abide forever” (33:64-65)لَمْ يَكُنِ اللَّهُ لِيَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ وَلا لِيَهْدِيَهُمْ طَرِيقاً إِلا طَرِيقَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَداً"Never will Allah forgive them, nor will He guide them to a path except the path to Hell, wherein they will remain forever" (4:168-169) وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَداً"Whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger - then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will reside therein forever" (72:23) لا يُخْرَجُونَ مِنْهَا وَلا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُونَ "They will never be taken out of it, nor can they make amends" (45:35)كُلَّمَا نَضِجَتْ جُلُودُهُمْ بَدَّلْنَاهُمْ جُلُوداً غَيْرَهَا"Every time their skins are roasted through We will replace them with new skins" (4:56)لا يُفَتَّرُ عَنْهُمْ وَهُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ"It will not be allowed to subside for them.They will be in utter despair."(43:75)وَنَادَوْا يَا مَالِكُ لِيَقْضِ عَلَيْنَا رَبُّكَ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ مَاكِثُونَ “They will cry:“O Malik (Keeper of Hell) ask your Lord to kill us”He will say: "Nay, you will remain"(43:77)وَمَا هُمْ بِخَارِجِينَ مِنَ النَّارِ"Never will they get out of it"(5:37)لَا يُقْضَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَمُوتُوا وَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُم مِّنْ عَذَابِهَا "They will not be allowed to dienor will its torment be lightened for them"(35:36)I cannot believe in the concept of eternal torture. If you are a Muslim watching this, I honestly don’t think you do you either. Why do I think that? Because any human being with even the tiniest fraction of compassion would recoil with revulsion at such an obscene concept. You are probably like me when I was a Muslim. I did my best to come up with all sorts of apologetics to explain it in a way my mind could deal with. Unfortunately there is no avoiding the fact that is what the Qur'an says. Nor is there any getting away from the fact that it is impossible to reconcile eternal torture with a Compassionate, Wise & Merciful God.Imagine the most evil people you can think of. Now imagine them in a cage, drenched in petrol and set alight. They scream & burn in terrible agony. As their cries fade and their charred remains collapse. They are suddenly restored to life. Then burnt again. They struggle in a flaming writhing heap of scorched limbs before their shrieks fade and they fall silent again. This is repeated again and again. Every minute of every day, for weeks, years... a hundred years! But this is barely the start... It’s not corrective or purifying - they are not getting out of this - it is simply vengeful torture.They beg to be killed. But will be ignored. Demons with hooked rods of iron will bind them in chains of fire and slowly strip their flesh from their bones. As soon as they die, they will be brought back to life. They will be disemboweled alive, then restored. Then molten lead poured into their mouths. Lowered into vats of boiling oil. Thrown into a furnace of fiery coals. Each time they die or go insane with pain they will be made whole again. Each time they plead & beg their gaurds to kill them, but the gaurds will only increase the torture.Imagine this has now been going on for a million years. A million years. Think about that. But that’s nothing.It will go on for millions & millions of years. Billions & billions. Trillions & trillions, quadrillions & quadrillions, quintillions & quintillionsand all this is still nothing. So far we haven’t even completed the first second of the first day of eternity. This is it. This is their whole existence now. They have no ultimate purpose nor end game. No conclusion or closure. This is their eternal reality. To be kept alive for no other reason than to suffer endless torture. I dare any human being to tell me this is not complete insanity - never mind justice. Then without the slightest hint of irony - the Qur'an says Allah is;أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ"The Most Merciful of those who show Mercy"(12:64)

Does Allahs *Test* make sense? Hassan Radwan 2019-01-27 | Would a wise and merciful God truly hold his fallible creatures accountable for disbelief when he has chosen to leave so much open to reasonable doubt & scepticism?Would he punish someone for being honest to their understanding?Is not the virtue & character of a human being of more worth than the inconclusive metaphysical beliefs that fortune has conferred on them?
