chef's Alec Ben Cigna who is a mauritania scholar ID I believe in America someone I respect him as he's a mauritania scholar senior kind of in age and things like this he also responded to me in a video refuted me saying these people are misleading and so on and so don't listen to people like he said I'm not sure whether if not sure says this or not but if not sure is not an authority right because bonne année 300 years before him said nobody after today will be an authority okay

0:38

can you see how absurd these statements sound to non-muslims so like 300 years ago somebody wrote that okay from today onwards nobody's can nobody is knowledgeable anymore but what does Allah say in the Quran what Foca coonley the element aleem above every person of knowledge is somebody with greater knowledge but apparently bonanni realized that nobody has more knowledge than him because he realized nobody has knowledge anymore and not only in his time he negated it for the future the audacity and wait a minute your knowledge to make that judgment is like

1:15

so these kind of statements are trying to make people into black place blinkers on people are very irresponsible very irresponsible but then chefs Alec been sitting I made an interesting point because I was glad somebody asked him the question he makes this thing and he goes on and then he he says first of all his arguments you know I I expected better I'm gonna be honest I thought you know from very learned scholar he said well this person is saying look why is Jesus gonna come how is he is gonna come down but the hadith says Yin Zi Luo Yin Zi Luo doesn't he understand Yin Zi no in Arabic means to come down like I

1:55

don't carry like why doesn't the hadith say you buy so he will be resurrected he says Yin Zi Luo Yin Zi Luo I so share honorable share all right yeah Allah may Allah bless you you know you're a senior to me right so you know in age and I humbly but you know for the love of God right obviously I don't accept those heavy I mean it's not that I then he said oh it's because people don't understand Arabic that they end up doing Kufa I thought okay I respect your Arabic is it must be awesome but Sheikh we do understand Arabic and we do understand

2:34

this and no it's not that I don't understand the word yinz Luffy come it's that I don't accept these are these because they clash with the Quran and with other hadith and then in the India and then he said well for him to say that Jesus coming back as a Christian concept he's them claiming that the Prophet is a Christian you know and I thought stuff from Russia I thought behave you know behave like that kind of stuff is absurd to say right I'm actually saying that you guys are missing buting to our prophet statements right so and I'm going to highlight this okay like just actually

3:14

which really if you had a critical mind you would understand that but okay what I wanted to come to was an interesting point when chef Seligman Cigna finishes his video it's not too long somebody asks him shake these people say like me and other people that if Jesus was to come down from the sky which by the way is a quote from the Bible and the son of God will come down on the wings of angels holding on to these angels coming down which is exactly what the hadith says right now when Jesus descends upon the Muslims everybody is viewing this so they asked him that share these people say them what is the purpose of faith

3:53

what is the purpose I'm coming I'm gonna come to the other points of toois tour right so I'm just highlighting this they asked him what is the purpose of faith because now we've seen somebody coming down from the sky so now we know you know at the end of the day if somebody's coming out of the cosmos they're coming down they're coming out of space outer space right obviously people will be like whoa what's going on you know we got Jesus Christ and and for once he'll say yep you got that right but the point is that look so now Jesus is coming down and by the way we could do genetic DNA analysis you

4:31

could check for example his DNA to see obviously Jesus was Jewish you could see that he predates all the admixture that took place in the Middle East with the Romans and the Arabs he predates all of that so his DNA would show that it predates these people so he either this is a man living in such isolation or this guy really is from like 2,000 years ago Wow so now everybody would believe so they asked chef Seligman sadena that what is what about that so his response was really interesting he said oh when Jesus comes down

5:10

nobody's faith will be accepted anymore after that like faith to cliff to cliff means you're Islamic liability not the order words atif which means pain - cliff means your liability to God like having Islam not having Islam being responsible so there's no more tickly he said that after that Iman is invalid become a Muslim don't become Muslim doesn't make a difference so then even the translator gets confused because the translator says right isn't that supposed to happen after doesn't he kill the gel first and then he says yeah yeah he kills the gel and so the translator asked him so what

5:49

at what point does a man become no longer valid is it after he's killed the gel or just as he's coming down and and then he himself just kind of like stutters and just says look yeah look when the signs happen these are well known that nobody's Eman is accepted anymore and he says this is known in the Quran and then even the translator it kind of translates it in unambiguous terms and just leaves it so let's get this right so Jesus Christ is coming down and now faith is not valid anymore mmm that's interesting so if faith isn't valid hmm so why is Jesus being a judge

6:26

if faith is a valid why is he judging over and why do why do you what why does everybody embrace Islam and here's an important point to bring your attention to people this is a very important point in psychology you we are - we are taught right when you want to when you want to see where the testimonies are accurate so if you look at forensic psychology when I studied psychology and when we did things like testimony and they teach you

7:05

that you don't testimonies and when people make claims about something just like this as a blunt testimony you can't tell the accuracy you can't tell what this person's making it up or they're getting it wrong so what you have to do is elicit extract as much a detail as possible from the person okay so this is so there's been so much studies done on this so if I said to you if a person said look oh yeah I saw this person killed him he shot him you see that in itself isn't enough so you need to extract more information okay what

7:43

was how much sunlight was there at the time how far would you say you were standing from this person what was the person wearing what angle would you say you were standing at how many people would you say they were there how were you dressed what was the weather like can you remember any other surrounding things you see when people start to highlight details that's when they make mistakes that is where the devil is in the detail the devil is in the detail people now it's interesting that fact and another fact by the way when people

8:20

just provide an X an excess amount of detail about an incident unwarranted like they provide so many detail usually to normal people they like Wow to psychologists that raises alarm bells because people usually provide so much excess detail when they lying about something or something isn't true studies actually show this there's a lot of interesting Studies on when people are about to lie about something or about to forge something they usually incredible detail to the story so these are two interesting psychological facts I want you to bear in mind now this

8:59

thing about Jesus we there is an incredible about a detail an incredible amount of detail okay now so because the detail is there it's in all these sahi heavy so let's hear it let's hear the detail I'm not asking you to make something up I'm telling you just read to me what these hadeeth say and then let's weigh it up because the devil is in the details the devil is in the detail
