I just want to clarify something about my original comment. It's more than just the talk really. It's more about the online beardbros and sistabros trend.
It was because Mufti Abu Layth said he doesn't believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ AS and so you had all the beardbro muppetry on social media trying to'expose' mufti Abu layth but not for authentic reasons. They do it, to act as guardians of a version of islam that is approved by the sistabros.
if a sisterbro is like 'ewww sheikh imran he seems so dodgy' and she is visibly ugly, i guarantee you the beardbros will ignore that
but if she's even half pretty...they will go full commando jihad on the guy.
ironically, the OP does seem to approve of both imran hossein and abu layth but he's also bipolar and prob caught between the approval of two different sistabros or probably even many.
This topic also became a hot topic then all these english speaking sheikhs decided to keep up their relevance/popularity etc by choosing this topic to talk about.
Also it is very difficult for me to listen to imran hossein because he doesnt just get to the point but when he ultimately does, it's usually off track. the constant stalling and staring and half joke rhetorical qs mean by the time he gets to his point people are already convinced he knows what he's talking about. I've noticed that with his generation, they ask a lot of rhetorical questions when talking, forcing you to 'concede'
'is da troof in kashmir?'
no ya sheikh, therefore please tell us where da troof iz plz
this is why the prophet SAW said eloquence is a form of sorcery...
he says verse 4:157 means Isa AS 'appeared to die' and then resorts to saying 'Allah took his soul'.when he finally makes his point.
implying that Isa AS was completely unconscious and simply woke up later. This is totally false if you had the mind to do some basic research.
the Quran says
3:55
Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.
this was not referring to an event that occurred when Jesus was nailed to the cross, this is a reference to his ascension after all that.
It is deceitful to alter the meaning, or give it meaning that isn't implied ie that 'Jesus was nailed to the cross but God made him unconscious so that means he didnt die but only appeared to die'
furthermore if the sheikh was actually thorough (and again he NEVER is) he would have noticed in this verse it also says
I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection:
So going from here we have to take into account the position of the disciples...ie Peter who saw the vision in the cloud which made eating 'unawlful food' (ie pork) 'lawful'.
Yet trust me on this muslims who have often talked about Peter's vision literally say he was led astray by the devil ie that the authentic christianity of Jesus was corrupted by people like Peter directly.
This contradicts the Quran narrative for sure.
Although i appreciate the sheikh did say Isa AS was def the one on the cross. I'm happy he is not STUPID enough to believe in the 'replacement theory' nonsense that was a complete misinterpretation of a gnostic text anyway.
The reason we are told 'or so it was made to appear to them' is because the people responsible for the crucifixion, the Sadducee sect, didn't believe in life after death. They regarded the physical life as the only life and therefore to die in the physical meant you were finished. So he 'appeared to die' in their mind because they were spiritually blind.
Whereas if you actually look at islam and christianity they very much teach martydom/life after death for sure. In fact islam does go deeper
the Quran says
(2) And say not of those who are slain in the way of Allah: "They are dead." Nay, they are living, though ye perceive (it) not.
(سورة البقرة, Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #154)
how can muslims know this verse and still not get it? THIS is exactly what Jesus was teaching
Matthew 10
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
I hate having to repeat this point 10000x because no matter what there are muslims here who will read and be completely opposed and think imran hossein or someone else is 'completely right'
they are stupid people imo...the Quran is very clear about many things and if muslims paid attention they would have found many news doors through which they could explore and learn 'islam'.
oh and the "im a christian but i totally 100% believe every single thing the sheikh says" comments on that video are fake just like the OP's fake stories.
bringing that ergun caner shit to islam now.
the beardbros have risen..
