This guy needs a bacon sandwich, He looks thin and undernourished. I like his outfit. Why does this Allah geezer set up trials? If he knows everything then he must know the results of the trial and if its successful or not before anyone even knows they are on trial. This is bacon flavoured baloney. You are you supposed to take guys like this talking rubbish in silly outfits- seriously? Allah should forbid stupid religions !

[IslamOnDemand]

Why does your teacher give you tests in school if they already know the answers? Because the test is NOT for the teacher, it's for YOU so that you will study, learn and grow in knowledge (or in this case grow in faith and wisdom). Passing the teacher's test makes you worthy of receiving a degree. Passing God's test makes you worthy of receiving eternal bliss.

Regarding his outfit, it's a form of modest dress not unlike the dress of Jesus, Moses and other prophets or other God-conscious people.

[Zahira Ameen]

(continued from the above)

I think here, what the Shaykh means is, Allahu A'lam, if one's heart is attached to Allah, one hears & obeys. Period. We do not need a 'scientific or secular' basis, justification, defense, if you will, to perform a commandment. We do it for the love of Allah.

May Allah ta'ala love us. Aameen.

@1slamExplained As far a Islam is concerned, it will never be a "prerequisite".

[1slamExplained]

Smiling isn't a prerequisite of peace, plus he is giving a lecture?

[DecmanReturns]

What an arbitrary prohibition. (Besides, pig is damn good eating.)

This man seems intelligent and indeed very eloquent; it's just a shame he's wasting both on superstition.

[BuxWV184]

I haven't seen this guy smile yet - such is the "peace" of Islam.

[superhamzah85]

The teacher doesn't know how YOU will do. God does. Analogy fail.

[superhamzah85]

He's obviously going through bacon withdrawals, and FEELS like it's fasting. Well buddy, what YOU'RE experiencing should not be projected onto reality. Muslims who are born Muslim have no craving for pork and rather disgust at the thought of it, thereby DEFEATING your claimed purpose for pork banning.

[superhamzah85]

(cont...) and given other cultures like the Chinese and Europe where ritualistic cannibalism was not present, the taboo never needed to arise.
