Slavery In Islam

In this video, the speaker is focusing on the fact that Islam is about proofs, not blind faith, in the Quran the word 'Yas'alounak' [They ask you (O Muhammad)] is repeated a lot, this reflects that Islam is all about knowledge and learning. The Quran is guidance for the pious, those who fear Allah and please Him by following His commands and avoiding His prohibitions. Once we start using our heart and mind and see Allah's signs around us, it will become a lot easier to accept the guidance and put it into practice.

This video explores how Islam spread rapidly all over the earth, people of all races and nations have been embracing Islam from the sixth century. They came to Islam in large numbers, and Islam established itself in all continents, as there are proofs that it even reached the two American continents. Islam was accessible to this large number of people due to several reasons including the concept of Tawid, the oneness of God, unity of humanity, unity of knowledge and the rich Arabic language that enabled Muslims to spread the message of Islam.

The video sheds light to the most important contributions of Muslims in five fields: Hygiene, optics and photography, health and hospitals, education, and mathematics represented in algebra.

The video refutes five misconceptions about God (Allah) including the claims that Allah is a moon god, or that Jesus is the son of God. It also refutes that God has a gender because of using the pronoun “He” when talking about Him, or that Allah is only the god of Musli. Finally, it proves that God is in Heaven above, i.e. denying the concept of “Pantheism”.

The video gives an account on how Islam reached Egypt, North Africa, West Africa, southern Europe by establishing al-Andalus.

This video tries to visualize the Day of Resurrection, the awe and tribulations in that Day, the state of the people, animals and all kinds of creatures… It captures the suffering, anxiety and heaviness of that Day. How every creature is resurrected to be held accountable for their deeds!

The major sins are the sins that Allah promises if we avoid them we will enter Paradise, in this video we mention these major sins to avoid them and learn the wisdom of prohibiting them by Almighty Allah.

The video sheds light on the Final Signs before the World ends, some of the major signs are Ya'jouj and ma'jouj, the massive earth quakes in the east and west, swallowing of the earth in the east and west, the Sunrise from the west, and the coming of the Dabah (the Beast) out of the earth which will talk to people and tell them that they disobeyed their Lord.

This video focuses on the ten methods to avoid entering the Hellfire and enter Paradise: the first is Tawbah, Istighfar, good deeds, dua of other believers for us, hardships in this dunya, punishment of the grave, trials on the Day of Judgment, good deeds gifted by the living to the dead, intercession of the Prophet (SAW) and mercy of Allah.

This video explains that in order to believe in predestination (Qadar) we have to keep in our minds four things: Knowledge of Allah is All Encompassing, Almighty Allah puts our decisions and our destiny, Allah gave us the guidance and the power of intellect, we cannot change the destiny, we only have decisions.

This video focuses on why God tests people, if He wanted, He could have made all people believers, but He has created death and life to test which of us is good in deeds. Allah has created human beings and gave them freewill, if they obey the commandments of Allah, they are superior to the angels. Allah gave us the guidance through the Divine messages and He gave us the intellect by which we were able to know Him and then worship Him.

In this video, Sheikh Yusuf Estes gives a linguistic analysis of the word “Allah”. The word “Allah” in itself is the beauty of Islam, “Allah” does not mean God, as God in Arabic is Illah… but when we speak about the one and only God, the God of all Prophets, the one who is worthy of worship, the word “Allah” is the only proper word. There are also proofs in the English translation of the Bible and the Old Testament that the word Allah means the one and only God.
