India’s 200 million Muslims are at the mercy of an ultra-nationalist government that looks to create an exclusively Hindu Bharat or homeland. Since the rise of the BJP government, led by Narendra Modi, Muslims have been subject to discrimination, alienation, daily religious abuse, economic marginalisation, state-sanctioned mob violence and pogroms like in Gujarat in 2002. This Hindu nationalism is underpinned by a pernicious cultural and political ideology, Hindutva, framed by an antagonism towards Islam and a rewriting of Indian history.

Our guest this week Professor Irfan Ahmad, helps us understand the precarious state of India’s Muslims and the Hindutva ideology. Born in India, he now lives in Istanbul, where he is a professor of sociology and anthropology at Ibn Haldun University. Prior to istanbul he was research professor in Germany at Max Plank institute and he has taught anthropology and politics in the Netherlands and Australia He has written numerous books and articles on India and Islam and recently published a provocative piece on Hindu Orientalism.

His essay on Hindu Orientalism can be accessed here: https://www.tandfonline.com/do....i/abs/10.1080/135693

Title: Political Participation - Discussing Thinking Muslim's advice

Description and timestamps:

0:00:17 - 00:09:55 Intro:
Presenting Key points of Muhammad Jalal of Thinking Muslims' Article/strategy

00:09:56
Dr Massasri's initial analysis:
- Reaction to bankruptcy of left
-Dates back to Ikhwani view
-History of British society
-Real power lies with the people - shariah endorses this idea
-Situation of a Muslim minority, relation to society
-Shallow understanding of Islam

00:20:00
Islam remains, but in literature and books,
- Current understanding of governance is not the model of Prophet and Khulafah Rashideen in relation to ruling/state/authority
- Since Muawiyyah the narrative of Obedience to the Ruler advanced
- Scholarship soldout
- Majority of munafiqeen in scholarship
- Public Affairs, left people's focus
- Hadith - Knots of Islam will be untied
- Ruling is a fundamental part of islam

00:23:25
Requirement to have continuous fiqh, derived from shariah, very few scholars had this clear in the mind

00:24:01 - Muslim Landscape in UK
Background Muslim immigrants had limited education, little vision
- Third generation, muslims started to have significant numbers capable of influencing elections
- Eg Birmingham, East London
- Leftist recognised that Muslims could be rallied
- 90s Muslim movements matured - Ikhwan/Jama
- HT/Jihadi rebukation of democracy

00:29:52
Resulting in Discussion and a requirement for theory on how to participate in a domain of kufr

00:31:41
Explanation of Shariah Injunctions - if they join, not allowed to rule by kufr
- Parliament/Westminister - participate in ruling/legislation
- Not necessarily the case with local government
- Spurred Discussion on justifications - eg Najasi, Yusuf AS
- If you rule, must rule by Islam and with justice, no liberty to do otherwise
- Before vision for state was a minimalistic state

00:37:20
Are you allowed to participate?
- If you participate, must have aclear agenda as an independent
- If you join Parliament you can use it as platform to spread Islam/put Islamic view, and anything unislamic, you don’t vote for it
- You will always be in opposition/using it as a platform

38:40
What is the function of a Muslim under Kufr rule
- No obligation to obey
- Just be at a state of peace

Hereditary monarchy is impossible as power does not go back to the people

42:07
In domain of kufr what do we do?
- Oppose integration, interact
- No need to be reactionary/punish
- Carry dawah
- Can not rule by kufr
Labour's stance in relation to Gaza is due to their belief about reality

00:47:17 Jalal's advice is tactically good
At moment it's a good tactic, i.e. to punish, however it's not the way it should be, better to abstain and form our own independent party

00:49:33
On Jalal's idea of not representing a party, and having independent candidates and accusation of being a 5th column
- What do they mean by being a 5th Column, we are an international creed

00:52:05
Reason stated for Independents is not persuasive, could be a party, they must be told they will never vote for any unislamic injunction
- And always criticise laws and regulation and offer Islamic solution
- Pre-requisite, they would need to be sufficiently Islamically educated

00:53:49
Professor's Recommendation, abstain, how to get more control in local government, school boards etc

01:00:00
First stage is activating the people
Educate people ideologically

01:02:40
Alternative to voting, direct action to secure rights
Being outside the system

01:03:20
Many who advocate for voting, could have desire for power
Some think they can serve islam-example of Erdogan being constrained by the system

It is easy to feel a sense of gloom. The world has come together against us. Some, particularly those who are not tested like the Palestinians, may even have doubts about their Islam – impacting their basic iman. Some call for compromise with the perpetrators or, worse still, call for normalisation. We explore the concepts and emotions that form the backbone of what it is to be a believer.

Our guest this week is Dr Kamal Abu Zahra is a lecturer in Islamic studies and in Islamic law who has an expertise in the contemporary fiqh.

Ep. 05 | God of the gaps | Hamza Karamali | Basira Education

admin
5 Views · 1 year ago

This video is part of “The Thinking Muslim’s Guide to Atheist Arguments.”

If you are interested in learning rational arguments for the truth of Islam directly from Hamza Karamali, you can register for Why Islam is True:
https://www.basiraeducation.or....g/courses/why-islam-

New Atheists such as Richard Dawkins frequently point out that religious believers base their belief in God on natural phenomena that cannot yet be scientifically explained. He remarks to Lawrence Krauss that such reasoning, “a pathetically bad piece of argument”.

Hamza Karamali shows that Richard is right: the intelligent design arguments that Christians make are God-of-the-gaps arguments and they are bad arguments for the existence of God.

He then shows that the traditional Muslim argument for the existence of God (the argument from contingency) is not a God-of-the-gaps argument at all.

In fact, it’s the opposite. One of the features of the argument from contingency is that as our scientific understanding of the universe grows, the argument for God’s existence grows stronger. The reason for this is very simple: a thousand contingent things is a thousand times more of a reason to believe in God than just one contingent thing. And all science does is reveal more and more contingencies in the universe.

Hamza then anticipates the atheist objection that looking at science in this way does away with laws of nature. He explains that the laws of nature don’t go away. They just look different. Instead of being necessary relations between natural causes and effects, they become contingent associations between contingent things that are all upheld by God.

Although this seems counterintuitive, it is, in fact, the rational conclusion of a rational argument. Scientists who imagine that the laws of nature describe necessary and unchangeable relations between natural causes and their effects aren’t employing any argument. They are just following their animal instincts, in the same way that Ivan Pavlov’s dogs followed their animal instincts when they began salivating at the sound of a bell. Watch Hamza describe Pavlov’s famous psychological experiment, classical conditioning, and how it shows that we don’t need to create any gaps at all in our scientific inquiry to prove the existence of God.

The Ottoman Ulema 2: The Printing Press, Coffee and Secularisation with Dr Yakoob Ahmed

admin
4 Views · 1 year ago

Ottoman history and its story has been until recent times the sole endeavour of western orientalists and academics. This has changed, as many more Turkish and Muslim historians have recaptured the narrative through meticulous archival work and retrieval of sources that have recalibrated how we view the last Islamic caliphate.

In this second part of an extended interview with one such Ottoman historian, Dr Yakoob Ahmed from Istanbul University, we take a look at some of the challenges and controversies that are associated with the ulema (scholars) during the latter period of the Ottoman empire. We ask Dr Ahmed to explain why it is said that the ulema were an obstruction to the progress of the Caliphate. We scrutinise the claims that the ulema outlawed the printing press and coffee. I also ask him about the ulema’s role in the deposition of Abdul Hamid II, a revivalist of the caliphate.

We continue the discussion by looking broadly at the latter period of the Ottoman’s right up to the changes brought about by post ottoman secular turkey and how that impacted the ulema.

Ep. 03 | Why Evolution Doesn't Disprove God | Hamza Karamali | Basira Education

This video is part of “The Thinking Muslim’s Guide to Atheist Arguments.” Get the full guide for free here: http://www.thinkingmuslimguide.com/

If you are interested in learning rational arguments for the truth of Islam directly from Hamza Karamali, you can register for Why Islam is True:
https://www.basiraeducation.or....g/courses/why-islam-

Richard Dawkins argues that evolution takes the strongest argument for the existence of God and “blows it out of the water”. This is a common argument made by the New Atheists.

Hamza Karamali unpacks Richard’s argument in the context of William Paley’s famous design argument to show exactly why evolution is at the heart of atheist vs. theist debates today.

He then explains why the design argument is actually a bad argument for the existence of God because, in fact, the universe is evidence for the existence of God with-or-without design. The presence or absence of design in the universe has nothing to do with the nonexistence of God. He then takes you back to the original context of Richard’s argument to show you why that means that evolution, too, has nothing to do with the nonexistence of God.
