It is such a relief to see Abu-Bilal Al-Minuki off the map. He was a shadow over the continent for way too long. The joint effort between the Nigerian forces and the Americans shows that there is no hiding place for anyone who builds their life on the pain of others. Kudos to President Tinubu on this. God bless our Country 🤝

“Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield. Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS…” - President Trump

@Ibrahim24939517 @YusufAsunmogejo Logic doesn't have a religion. Calling my point 'atheist' is immaterial. If the outcome is fixed, the choice is an illusion. You are using my faith as an excuse to avoid the contradiction. You are only looking at this through the Quran instead of addressing the logic.

The aethist below asked: 1. Human will is free from what exactly? 2. Is human will free from Allah's Will? 3. If no, then in what meaningful sense is it “free”? Funnily, these questions are just a remix of a very old record. If you look at the Islamic history, we already had these debates over a thousand years ago. Jahm bin Safwan and the Jabariyyah tried to say that we are just feathers in the wind with no choice at all. Then we had the Qadariyyah, Ma’bad al-Juhani, who went the other way and said we are totally independent gods of our own actions. Both of them were stuck in the same shallow water this skeptic is drowning in now. In later centuries, we had your forefathers —Ignaz Goldziher and W. Montgomery Watt who reasoned like you. They loved the Jabariyyah view because it helped them paint Islam as a "fatalistic" religion. They wanted to show that Muslims are backward because we believe everything is pre-decided, so why bother working? It was a political play to make the Muslim world look lazy or stuck in the past. They were just parroting the same old errors that our own scholars had already dismantled. To trash the first question: Human will is free from ikrah, which is external compulsion. You aren't a rock falling because of gravity or a leaf being pushed by the wind. You have the hardware of CHOICE, and you are the author of that choice. When you decide to commit a sin or do a good deed, no physical force is dragging your hands. You are the one who initiates the INTENT. This is the freedom that matters for accountability. You are free from being a mindless biological machine. For the second question: NO, it isn't free from Allah's Will in the sense of being independent. That is where the orientalists and the aethist logic falls apart. If your will was outside His Will, then there would be two creators in the universe. That is a logical disaster. Imam Al-Ash'ari and later Ibn Taymiyyah cleared this up by distinguishing between Irada Kawniyyah (His universal will that allows everything to exist) and Irada Shar'iyyah (His legislative will, which is what He loves and commands). Your choice happens within the space He created, using the power He provides. It is a subset, not a separate entity. Note that. Now that we say NO, he asked: In what sense is it free? It is about Kasb or acquisition. Think of it like this. Allah creates the action, but you BUY it with your intention. You don't create the muscles or the brain cells, but you own the WANTING. You are judged on the CLICK of your heart. In fact, modern scholars and even some philosophers now realize that the old Orientalist view was a joke. Sherman Jackson in his book: Islam and the Problem of Black Suffering, found that the Islamic model of "AGENCY WITH SOVEREIGNTY" is much more sophisticated than the binary traps these aethists and orientalists set. They think they are being deep, but they are just ignoring the bridge between the Creator's power and the creature's responsibility. I hope you learned something. Allah knows best.

@YusufAsunmogejo If allah will is ultimate then human don't have freewill And if you want to argue that human has freewill, I just want you to answer 3 question: 1. Human will is free from what exactly? 2. Is human will free from Allah's Will? 3. If no, then in what meaningful sense is it “free”?

@Ibrahim24939517 @YusufAsunmogejo If the outcome is already known, then I can never do the opposite of what is known. If I can't do the opposite, I have no real freedom. You are repeating verses but ignoring the logical fact that a fixed ending makes 'will' an illusion. You are seeing this only through the Quran

@DanielJ71969017 @YusufAsunmogejo If choice is what you think is controlled, then you don't understand your body system. Quran said: (Whoever wills may believe, and whoever wills may disbelieve). It's your life__ Your choice__ Your decision.

Something still marvels me about the Quran to this day. I wonder how a book could be so audacious. Imagine opening a book, and the first line you hit is: ذلك الكتاب لا ريب فيه "This is the Book about which there is no doubt." We all know that when a human writes, we almost always start with an apology in the preface. We say we tried our best, but any mistakes are ours. The Quran does the exact opposite of that. It did not offer a disclaimer. It offered a finality. It says: there is no mistake, nor doubt about my authenticity. Anything you read and find in me, rest assured, it is nothing but the truth. The shutdown of the possibility of error before a single story is even told is the ultimate audacious power move. For the past 1440+ years since the Quran was sent down, NO ONE has been able to find a mistake. They’ve only been running in circles. This is what gives me audacity. It gives me confidence in my ability to recite the Quran without fear anywhere. May the Almighty make you and me from the people of the Quran 🙏👏🏿

@Ibrahim24939517 @YusufAsunmogejo Feeling in control of your body isn't the same as having a real choice. If the outcome is already fixed, then your wishes are just part of the script. Saying we are free just because we don't know the end is illogical.

@Grand_Sultan_ @YusufAsunmogejo The Code of Hammurabi. The Cyrus Cylinder. The Torah. None of these start with an apology for mistakes. Ancient kings and gods didn't write disclaimers. They all claimed absolute truth. It isn't a miracle, it's just the style of the era.

@YusufAsunmogejo Well, you just proved my point. If I only change when God wills it, then I have no choice at all. You’re describing a script, not free will. Threatening me with doom is just a white flag because you can’t solve the logic. Bro, just stick to the name calling.

@YusufAsunmogejo @Grand_Sultan_ Insults are a weak way to hide that you have no facts. You think a lack of disclaimers is a miracle, but it was just the standard style for 7th century scriptures and decrees. It isn't a 'power move' to sound confident. You're just ignoring history. You will be alright.

@MasterMaliq Where's that in the Bible?" Literally Exodus 14:30 says the bodies washed ashore. Even Old Jewish legends said the same thing. Read your own scholar Ibn Kathir: he washed up THAT DAY for the Israelites. Also, autopsies prove those mummies didn't drown. You played yourself.

The Quran predicted Pharaoh’s body would be preserved for future generations. That was discovered centuries later. But yeah… it “copied” the Bible right? Where is that in the Bible?

@MasterMaliq Historians know exactly where it came from. It is from the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. That is a non biblical text written 500 years before Islam. Early Christians rejected it from the Bible because it was a fictional legend. "Copying" actually explains it perfectly.

Christians say the Quran copied the Bible Yet the Quran says Jesus Christ made a bird from clay and brought it to life by God’s permission, a story not found in the Bible So here’s the question If it’s true, why isn’t it in the Bible And if it’s not, where did the Qur’an get it from Either way, “copying” doesn’t explain it

Stop masking terrorism apologia as 'respect'. Nigeria operates a secular Constitution, not a theocracy. You want the State to prosecute a pastor over hurt feelings, but ignore that placing a public bounty on a citizen is domestic terrorism.
A.Y.O@YusufAsunmogejo

This is a really serious situation and we have to be clear that there are sacred lines that must be respected if we ever want this country to move forward. You cannot just go and insult what is most precious to a whole people and think it will not have consequences for our collective peace. If we do not respect these boundaries, we will never grow as a society. It is about basic human respect for the identity of your neighbor and the things they hold dear. It’s nothing too much to ask for. Having said that, we also have to be honest about the preacher's response. It is purely emotional and clearly overboard. Islam does not support this kind of thing where one person decides to be the investigator, the judge, and the executioner all at once. I have talked about this extensively in my article on Blasphemy. Taking the law into your own hands like that only leads to a mess that affects everyone and creates a cycle of violence. Islam is a religion of order, not a "do-it-yourself" legal system. The preacher has no right to call for a bounty on someone's head from a pulpit. In fact, it is against the very rules of Islam he claims to be protecting. That’s is why there is a principle that says: لا يُنْكَرُ المُنْكَرُ بِمَا هُوَ أَنْكَرُ مِنْهُ This means that you cannot forbid an evil by bringing about an evil that is even worse than the one you are trying to stop. This rule is a golden principle for social order in Islam. The task is prosecuting the Christian brother is a task for the state and the courts to handle. If we don’t abide by these rules, we would only be practicing vigilantism. And remember, this is a primary cause of fitna (civil strife and chaos), which the Quran warns is worse than killing itself. May Allah protect us.

Islam is very accommodating 🤔 Ask them how many churches are in saudi Arabia and what would happen to you if found with a bible in the same country.

@AYINKEZEEZ @taiwo_oracle @ArewaBizHub @Maya_leeke Vatican City is a tiny 100-acre Catholic headquarters, so there are no mosques inside its walls. However, the largest mosque in Europe (the Mosque of Rome) is just a 15-minute drive down the road in Italy and Pope John Paul II actually publicly supported its construction.

Wrapping capital punishment for speech in classical Arabic terms doesn't make it any less brutal. If your faith is truly universal, it doesn't need the threat of a sword or the state to protect its honor from mere words. God is bigger than human feelings

You wrote a massive essay trying to justify the death penalty for blasphemy by dressing it up in classical legal jargon, but your entire argument rests on a few massive flops. You are trying to rationalize the irrational.
A.Y.O@YusufAsunmogejo

In this article, I answered the following questions: 1.Is there a punishment for Blasphemy as opposed to what the self-proclaimed Islamic modernist said yesterday? 2.Do Muslims kill for Allah? 3.Westerners, Orientalists, and Atheists call it barbaric. Are they right? 4.Is the May 2022 killing of Deborah in Sokoto justified? 5.Do Westerners punish blasphemers? 6.What punishments do Westerners apply to Blasphemy, and how fatal are they? You will find all the answers in this article. Have a patient and lovely read. Thank you for your time and attention 🤝

But you spent your whole essay loudly validating the exact theology that says she deserved to die. When a secular state refuses to kill its citizens over religion, your rhetoric guarantees the mob will do it for them. You are feeding the very monsters you claim to condemn.

The rest of the world moved on from the Dark Ages and stopped doing that. Pointing to ancient barbarism to justify modern barbarism is a crazy self-own. The worst part is your take on Deborah in Sokoto. You condemn the mob and say "only the state can execute."
