Description

An atheist once asked me why does he get this deep sense of calling out to God if he imagines himself shipwrecked and stuck in the middle of the sea? Even an atheist asks. We all ask the same question. Some make up their own beliefs, others hold on to a supernatural deity or superstitious belief to make sense of this inner calling. Yet still, deep inside they know there is something missing, so much so that moment it is questioned and rattled they may either submit to the fact they are in error and need to search for a better truth or they become angry and boastful attacking whoever opposes. This first part of this lecture talks about the childhood of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) showing this magnificent natural sense Allah created all humans upon, in order to help guide them and not go astray. It is called the ‘Fitra’. The young Prophet Ibrahim (AS) endures with the backlash of holding on to this inner truth which makes him grow in intelligence and powerful convictions, yet which rattle his people’s beliefs and question themselves. It also connects with us showing the hardships of life such as domestic and family abuse, bullying, plots of haters and how Allah never leaves our side if we stick to Him.
