Watch the video in the Arabic language

[benjaminherndon]

I'm an atheist, but I have to admire Hamza's style here. And I find Krauss's attitude kind of hard to watch.

[chrismarques]

until watching this video I thought I know English 😪😪😪😅😓😹😄😓😓

[oNiconter]

Cheering should really not be allowed during the debates

[johnnysomething]

As an atheist and a physics major Hamza was humble and admirable while Krauss acted like a 5yo

Six ways to earn good deeds even after death:

1. Give a copy of Qur’an to someone. Each time one reads from it, you gain.
2. Donate a wheelchair to a hospital. Each time a sick or injured person uses it, you gain.
3. Participate in the building a Masjid. Every time a person uses it to worship Allah (SWT), you gain.
4. Build a well or place a water cooler in a public place. Every time somebody drinks from it, you gain.
5. Plant a tree. whenever a person or animal sits in its shade or eats from it, you gain
6. And the easiest of all, share this message with other people.
May Allah (SWT) bless you all and grant you Jannah, inshallah

When someone starts insulting the other, it usually means they lost already, "infinitely" lol.

2:05:24 Krauss drinking water from Empty glass
"Something from nothing". 😂

[kaplaarsk]

The comments here are very interesting, seeing how different people with different backgrounds can experience (see, hear) the exact same thing and yet interpret the same data completely differently according to their personal interests.

[nadarkhankhattak]

An old strategy: “if you can’t convince them, confuse them”.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Make things easy for the people, and do not make it difficult for them, and make them calm (with glad tidings) and do not repulse (them )"

[Islamicepistemology]

This debate is the reason bcz of which i started again praying.

[bestoddlysatisfyingshorts]

to all human beings:


when you want to win
you don't learn.

[jobscharff]

No one is going to say he looks like Mahone from Prison Break

[flavioa]

The most amazing part of the debate was that Krauss managed to drink out of an empty glass multiple times

[Stonnin]

Back when i was an atheist i used to think pple like kraus were geniuses. Dawkins, hitchens. But alhamdillah when i re-found my faith in the truth i see how arrogant, ideological, irrational and dogmatic these people are. I came to realize my admiration for these people was based purely on them “owning” people of faith which fed an insecurity i had which made me feel good about thinking i was intellectually superior to 7 biilion people. Hamdillah for choosing me to come back to Islam. SubhanAllah may he guide whom he wills.
