'Secular Humanism' Breaking Down The Religion Of Atheists

Imran Hussein shares some thoughts on Secular Humanism

[Mirror_Holder]

I enjoyed your last webinar br Imran. Keep it up. JazakAllah khier

[ifrasiddiqui]

In order to be the King, we must submit ourselves to the TRUE KING (الملك)

[TheGoat]

Humanism isn't a region. It's a Philosophy

[halallisa]

you should go to speakers corner would love to watch how you handle the Atheists there....mashallah bro

[Mr.Jasaw]

such a relevant video brother ... I'd usually call this Secular Liberalism, but you are right, Seclarl Humanism is what they claim to believe in

[islamicdefender]

Hey @Imran Hussain EpistemiX did you get the comment on your previous video? I linked a bunch of sites that I digged up for original Monothiesm for Gerry? Also I was thinking an argument an athiest would use and one could claim that "all these cultures belief in a supreme being came by natural selection" the problem with that is circular reasoning because you start out with that assumption with natural selection then look at the cultures then conclude that natural selection caused all this

[snehashispanda]

I am typically non-religious and align myself with secularism. This is an atheistic view centered on human agency and a reliance on science and reason rather than revelation from a supernatural source to understand the world. I tend to advocate for human rights, free speech, progressive policies, and democracy. I maintain that religion is not a precondition of morality, and object to excessive religious entanglement with education and the state.

I emphasize the individual and social potential, as well as the agency of human beings, which I consider the starting point for serious moral and philosophical inquiry.

My values are reinforced by advances in science and technology, giving me confidence in my exploration of the world. I focus on human well-being and advocate for human freedom, autonomy, and progress. I view humanity as responsible for the promotion and development of individuals, espouse the equal and inherent dignity of all human beings, and emphasize a concern for humans in relation to the world.

We are reasonable beings, and reasoning and the scientific method are means of finding truth. I argue that science and rationality have driven successful developments in various fields while the invocation of supernatural phenomena fails to coherently explain the world. One form of irrational thinking is adducing. I am skeptical of explanations of natural phenomena or diseases that rely on hidden agencies.

For people to be autonomous, their beliefs and actions must be the result of their own reasoning. For me, autonomy dignifies each individual; without autonomy, people's humanity is lessened. I also consider human essence to be universal, irrespective of race and social status, diminishing the importance of collective identities and signifying the importance of individuals.

[beehivepattern]

the clap is epic, I will make clap meme over that 😂

[mohammadhdiebi]

That’s the problem with secular humanism. Everyone has a moral compass of there own. And they all justify there moral differences via the same method. This is contradictory and shows the weakness of secular humanism

Great video showing the flaws of secular humanism. Jazak Allahu Khair ❤️👍

[MathewSteeleAtheology]

Hello Imran, I'm an atheist and I would love to address any and all of your objections to secular humanism. I could explain it all in a comment here or I could talk to you personally, whichever you would prefer. I'm touched by your passion and sincerity in asking these questions. We can account for good and bad very easily, and it leaves us in a much better position to justify morality. Take care and have a great day.

[MrAddyan]

Safe to say atheists consider a science encyclopedia as their holy scripture.

Brother.. when is the next session with ustadh fahad tasleem going to be?

Islam The Beautiful Religion

( Be Just )


Quran 5:8
'' O you who believe! stand out firmly for God, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the >HATRED OF OTHERS TO YOU < make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear God. For God is well-acquainted with all that ye do. ''


Quran 4:58
'' Indeed, God commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which God instructs you. Indeed, God is ever Hearing and Seeing.''


( God's The Rules Of War )


Quran 2:190
'' Fight in the way of God >THOSE WHO FIGHT YOU< but do not transgress. Indeed. God does not like transgressors. ''


Quran 2 :193

'' And fight them on until there is no more oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God; but if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression. ''


Quran 4:90
if they withdraw from you and cease their hostility and offer you peace, in that case Allah has not granted you permission to fight against them.''


Quran 8:61
''And if they seek peace, then you also seek it, and put your trust in God. He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable.''


( Stand Up For Justice )


Quran 4 :135O
'' Ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even as against >YOURSELVES, < or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for God can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily God is well-acquainted with all that ye do.''



( Who Are The Good Human Beings? )


Quran 177
'' Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in God, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, IN SPITE OF LOVE FOR IT, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives charity; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous. ''


( Freedom To Believe And To Reject )


Quran 2:256
'' Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error ''


Quran 10:99
'' And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed - all of them entirely. Then would you compel the people in order that they become believers? ''


( Tolerance For Other Religions )


Quran 109: 1- 6

Say, "O disbelievers,


I do not worship what you worship.


Nor are you worshipers of what I worship.


Nor will I be a worshiper of what you worship.


Nor will you be worshipers of what I worship.


For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."


( Protection for Idol Worshiper )


Quran 9:6
"And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah. Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are people who do not know. "


Quran16:125
“Call people to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good teaching, and argue with them in the most courteous way”


Quran7:199 “Be tolerant....”



( Friendship With Non Muslims )


Quran 60:8
'' God does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, God loves those who act justly. ''


( Do Christians And Jews and "OTHER" non-Muslims go to Heaven? )


Quran 2:62
'' Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians, ->ANY<- who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. '' ---> { On Judgement Day }


( According to the Quran Christians and Jews worship TRUE God )


(Quran 3:113-114)
'' Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book ( Christians and Jews ) are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous.''


Note: According to the Quran that Jesus is not God nevertheless Christians still worship one '' TRUE '' God.


( Allah Is The Protector Of Monasteries, Churches, Synagogues And The Mosques )


Quran 22:40
[They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right - only because they say, "Our Lord is God ." And were it not that God checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of God is much mentioned. And God will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, God is Powerful and Exalted in Might.


( Why Are There So Many Different Religions In The World ? )


Quran 5 48
If God wanted He could have made all of you a single nation. But He willed otherwise in order to test you in what He has given you;(scriptures) therefore try to excel one another in good deeds. Ultimately you all shall return to God; then He will show you the truth of those matters in which you '' DISPUTE.''


NOTE:
Quran 3:85
''If anyone desires a religion other than Islam ("submission" to God), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good)''


My explanation of above verse


Islam mean "submission" to God


( The above verse saying is that God will not accept a religion from the "MUSLIM" and the Non-Muslims but total "submission" to God.)


Question: How Can Muslim And the Non-Muslim "submit" to the God?


Answer: Be kind to other human beings and Do not lie, Do not steal, Do not cheat, Do not hurt others, Do not be prideful and Do the charity work.


( God Allow Muslims To Marry And Eat Food From the Christian And Jew And Vice Versa )


Quran 5;5
''This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture ( Christian and Jew) is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture ( Christian and Jew) before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.''


( Kindness Toward Atheists / Apostate )


Quran 60:8
'' As for such [of the unbelievers( atheist)] as do not fight against you on account of [your] faith, and neither drive you forth from your homelands, God does not forbid you to show them kindness and to behave towards them with full equity: for, verily, God loves those who act equitably. ''


( All The Terrorists / Killers Will Enter Hell Fire )


Quran 5:32
kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind


( Turned Your Enemies Into Your Best Friends )


Quran 41:34
"The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and thee there was enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend."


( The Husband and The Wife Are > Protecting Friends < One Of Another )


Quran 9:71
''And the believers, men and women, are > Protecting Friends < one of another; they enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, and they establish worship and they pay the poor-due, and they obey God and His messenger. As for these, God will have mercy on them. Lo! God is Mighty, Wise.''


Quran16:97
“To whoever, male or female, does good deeds and has faith, We shall give a good life and reward them according to the best of their actions.


Quran 30:21
“And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy…”


The Prophet Muhammad said, “Heaven lies under the feet of your mother.”


( Human Are One family )


Quran 49:13
" O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)."


( All The Racist People Will Enter Hellfire )


Quran 30:22
"And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge."


My comment:


The '' BASIC '' message of God to the human is that '' YOU '' believe in God and be kind to other human beings / animals and in the >RETURNED< God will reward you with a new life in Paradise.


* The Quran ONLY guides you how to become a good human being "Nothing Else".


* You are a good human being or a bad human being that is YOUR choice.


* No one can force you to become a good human being.


* You MUST work HARD to become a good human being.


* Why should ''YOU'' do good deeds and avoid bad deeds?


* Do Good - it's for You. Do Bad - It's against you.


* '' YOUR'' life is a TEST from God that you will choose to do either Good or Bad.


* Find the excuse to help others and forgive others NOT the other way around.


* '' YOUR '' final destination is either Hell or Heaven.


* So work HARD toward choice of YOUR destination.


Quran 17:7
'' If you do good, you will do so for your own good. And if you do evil, it will be to your own loss.''

[HumanistThinker]

Let me quote this guy - Thomas P. Seager:
“Empathy is one of the foundational pillars of morality, because moral issues only exist in the context of relationships. Moral issues arise only because our actions have consequences for others, When we consider these consequences in our own behavior, and consider the extent to which we might put our own well-being at risk for the sake of others, then we are thinking morally. To understand those consequences, moral thinking requires us to be able to imagine them from the perspective of the person that will experience them.”

[brotheralexp.]

Assalamu Alaikum! Brother Imran, I have a couple things about your three points that someone might criticize you on. First, point (1) and (3) are basically the same thing (though they do point to an extremely important notion). Second, point (2) is problematic because the question "why should one do things that are good?" does not really make sense. Good things, by definition, are things that we should do. The question is essentially the same as asking "how do we know good things are good to do?" Insha'Allah, if the above analysis is correct, my pointing out what seems to be logically problematic should help keep the Muslims' arguments strong.

[paragonofvirtue]

We need religion even if a Creator doesn’t exist, the threat of punishment and the promise of a reward makes all the difference.

[MdHasan-nqtw]

BENEFITS OF ISTIGHFAR
►Istighfar removes anxiety and Du'as are answered.
►Istighfar opens the door of sustenance.
►Istighfar opens the door of mercy.
►Istighfar opens the door of knowledge.
►Istighfar is also gateway of productivity !
►Istighfar relieves you when you feel that sadness within you, when you are disturbed and frustrated, and also when anxiety surrounds you. Always say Astaghfirullah Astaghfirullah…
~~Don’t leave Istighfar
A man once came to
al-Hasan al-Basri and complained to him: “The sky does not shower us with rain.”
He replied: “Seek Allah’s forgiveness (i.e. say أستغفر ألله).”
Then another person came to him and said, “I complain of poverty.” He replied: “Seek Allah’s forgiveness.”
Then another person came to him and complained, “My wife is barren; she cannot bear children.” He replied:
“Seek Allah’s forgiveness.”
The people who were present, said to al-Hasan: “Everytime a person came to you complaining, you instructed them to seek Allah’s forgiveness?”
Al-Hasan al-Basri said, “Have you not read the statement of Allah? ‘I said “
Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Truly He is Oft-Forgiving. He will send rain to you in abundance; increase you in wealth and children; grant you gardens and bestow on you rivers.”‘” [Nuh (71):10-12]
There are two things in the earth that give a person safety and security from the punishment of Allah.
The first has been removed, whilst the second still remains.
As for the first, it was the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). “Allah would not punish them while you were among them.” [al-Anfal (8):33]
As for the second, it is istighfar. “Allah would not punish them as long as they sought forgiveness.” [al-Anfal (8):33] أستغفر ألله… أستغفر ألله… أستغفر ألله…
Do not ever leave istighfar!
Please share and remember that you will receive the reward for all those who make istighfar, due to your reminder.
Astaghfirullaaha wa ‘atoobu ‘ilayhi.
I seek the forgiveness of Allah and repent to Him.
(Recite one hundred times during the day)
It was reported in Saheeh Muslim that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) said: “I seek forgiveness one hundred times in a day.” [Muslim]
Du'a for seeking forgiveness:
Dua of Prophet Adam (A.S.)
Rabbana zalamna anfusana wa in lam taghfirlana watar hamna lana koonanna minal khasireen [7:23]
”Our Lord ! we have sinned against ourselves and unless You grant us forgiveness and bestow Your mercy upon us, we shall most certainly be lost."
رَبَّنا ظَلَمنا أَنفُسَنا وَإِن لَم تَغفِر لَنا وَتَرحَمنا لَنَكونَنَّ مِنَ الخٰسِرينَ
[SURAH AL-A`RAF, VERSE 23]
Du'a of Yunus (A.S) repenting to Allah in the belly of the whale:
“
LAA ILAAHA ILLAA ANTA SUBHAANAKA INNY KUNTU MINATHAULIMEEN” [21:87]
“There is none worthy of worship except You. You are pure. Verily I am amongst the oppressors.” [Al-‘Anbya’ 87]
Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) said about the Invocation of Yunus “None who is experiencing difficulty employs it except that Allah would relieve him of his difficulty.” [At-Tirmidhi]
Nooh (A.S) asked for the forgiveness of Allaah The Almighty, repenting by saying:
Rabbi Inneee A-o’od’u Bika An As-alaka Maa Laysa Lee Bihee I’lm Wa Illaa Taghfirlee Wa Tarh’amneee Akum Minal Khaasireen [11:47]
“My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking that of which I have no knowledge. And unless You forgive me and have mercy upon me, I will be among the losers.” (Surat Hūd, 11: 47)
We must recite this dua’a to have full faith in the wisdom of Allah under all good and bad circumstances because Allah is all-knowing; and humbly seek His help to keep ourselves on the right path.
Say: Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun, tuhibbul-‘afwa, fa’fu ‘anni.
(O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive me).
Say: Astaghfirullah al-ladhi la ilaha illa huwal hayyul qayyum wa atubu ilayhi
It says in hadith, whoever says it seven times his sins will be forgiven even if he should have run away from the battlefield.
Say: SubhanAllah wa bihamdihi
Whoever says it hundred times, his sins will be forgiven even though they may be as much as the foam of the sea.
Say: la ilaha illallahu wahdahu la shareeka lah lahul mulku wa lahaul hamdu wa huwa a la kuli shay’in qadeer.
And say the many other forms of repentance that are prescribed by Allah.
ALLAH HAS FULL ABILITY TO GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT! AND ONLY HE (ALLAH) HAS THAT ABILITY.
The Prophet ﷺ said, “Verily your Lord is Generous and Shy.
If His servant raises his hands to Him (in supplication).
He becomes shy to return them empty.” [Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi]

[LlamaBearMan]

1. Is there good and evil?
2. If so, Why is Evil is bad?
3. Whats the rule by which we determine what action to take evil vs good?

Give Secular Humanism thousands of years, like we did with Religions, and you may have your answer.

These questions do not undermine our objective reality, for which God has been absent. These 3 "issues" exist within all ethical worldviews, and none of them have a sufficient answer. The best answer the Religious can give is "because God says so" which is a terrible answer.

[karlazeen]

Is any philosophical ideology a religion to you?

[rogermichaelwillis]

I lead a good ethical life, and I'm an atheist.
