As a Roman Catholic, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the work you’re doing on this channel, Paul! Imam Tom’s is a voice that no one who believes in God should ignore in these dark days. May God bless you both for all you do in His service!

The secular project has failed all of us. It’s high time people of faith unite on common ground and help modernity recover from the impact of the iceberg before the ship sinks completely.

Br. Paul, why don't we have Prof Hallaq himself on the show? Would be amazing to see him talk about it.

Imam Tom is always refreshing to listen to, mash'Allah.
wow, got my mind blown with this deep talk about how the world is thought of
May Allah Bless and Reward Both of you in this Life and in the Hereafter.
I know debate and combative dawah have their own place, but more energy should be diverted to this sort of knowledge production. JazakAllah khairan for both of you. In some ways, a lot of us "born" muslims should be alerted by brothers like Tom and Paul, for we don't want to be ones who are replaced by. They have contributed to Islamic causes more than most so called born muslims in a relatively short time I know. Let's not be complacent.
Imam Tom is a gem MashaAllah. May Allah always protect our beloved Imam Thomas 🤲🤲
This channel is the best thing ever 💛 my brain is doubling in size
As usual, Brother Paul has great guests who share valuable knowledge. May Allah rewards and bless all your effort
This is probably the only thing I look forward other than waking up to life each day. Thank you much Sidi Paul and Imam Tom Fachhine alhamdulillah for them!
Wow I rode 20 plus miles on my bike ( 2am) listening to this whole discussion... thanks informative and fascinating
AWWWWWW poooop this is gonna be a banger i can already tell. Listening to Wael Hallaq give a lecture with Dr. Ovamir as interlocutor is very challenging (but still good). I need Imam Tom to explain it to me like im lay person and not a galaxy brained intellectual. alhamdulilah

My brother Paul, we want an Arabic translation of all discussions. Among the most important critics of Orientalism in the Arab world are Dr. Mazen Mutababani (د.مازن مطبقاني )and Dr. Dr. Idris Al-Azouzi(حسن بن إدريس عزوزي ), Dr. Ali Al-Namlah (د.علي النملة )on Christianization issues.
Thank you ❤ Waiting for next chapters
Dear brother Paul, It's highly appreciable how you invite scholars to actually "listen" to them and not for a typical "back and forth argumentative conversation". JazakAllah khair for all your efforts. Regarding this conversation, I just want to say that we shouldn't criticize Edward Said so harshly because it's on his work that we have been able to build on. Hope you do not mind my comment. God bless you. Ameen
Thank you to both of you. We need more ❤❤
Excellent discussion and we need more of this to educate and discuss so we can turn the ideas into action
Wael Hallaq is Imam's favorite personality. Happy to see him again.
May Allah bless Paul and Imam Tom.
I wish to support Palestinians as primarily a citizen of our world, as a human being. Genocide affects all humans, it is the worst crime against humanity.
Yessss finally
Brother Paul, it would be great if you could have Dr. Sherman Jackson to discuss his recent book "The Islamic Secular" where in a key chapter, he pushes against the impossible notion from Hallaq's "The Impossible State" (though Dr. Jackson doesn't defend the nation-state and recognizes its deficiency and not being the optimal form for Islam). A very well thought out intellectual book.
The British medical journal, The Lancet, issued a harrowing warning that the true death toll of the Gaza conflict could be over 186,000, accounting for 8% of Gaza's population. The current official death toll stands at nearly 38,200, according to Gazan government sources.
Great podcast but.... without acknowledging and adressing the role of Western Esoteric Tradition as the underpining of secularism you can't make a dent in its wunderkinds like Enlightment or liberalism. For example that Hegel was an oracle of Lurianic Kabbalah for the Western audience or clear Lockean inspiriation from it for his tabula rasa theory.

Have you considered the parallels also with Hannah Arendt’s ‘The Human Condition’ where she, more subtly and a lot less comprehensively critiques modernist / progress theory? I do feel that Professor has expanded and developed her line of critique, and I can only wonder how similarly caustic she would have been in denouncing the modern project had she lived to this day and age. Importantly, and rather expectedly, she does not seem to have developed an awareness let alone appreciation for the Muslim or more broadly Eastern epistemological, sociopolitical and moral traditions and speaks from a point of a progressive departure from the innate and ever more radical modification and redefining of nature in man’s eyes. I think she would really have appreciated Professor Hallaq’s extraordinarily groundbreaking work- both ahead of their times, like the Quranobiblical doomsday prophets warning of our cataclysmic likely now inevitable earthly demise. I often think that the East has actually lived through its modernity long long before the Europeans did, in the times of Babylon, Assyria, ancient Persia, Phoenician/Canaan and ancient Egypt and what came to be of what survived that modernity’s corruption is our modern day proto Christianity which later further evolved into Islam, as the penultimate moral framework humanity had developed (along with arguably Buddhist and ‘Hindu’ist’ equivalents). White Europeans are just very very civilizationally young and unfortunately, I worry that like the Moghuls and Vikings (who are their possibly only parallels, and likely ancestral cultures) it will take a lot of civilisational destruction and human suffering before they discover morality and develop a moral equivalent of Islam for example.

You can't criticize Newton for stopping at the classic gravity equations and not going all the way to the more correct general relativity.
I am positive that Said argued that Orientalism is an incorporation to subjugate other cultures. So, saying he did not would be an incorrect critique of Said. Also, while I agree that Said did not provide clear solutions to Orientalism, Hallaq also fails to offer solutions in clear terms. They're both adept at identifying issues, but both are equally inadequate in offering solutions to the problems they discuss. I blame this on our current academic setting. After all, we get funds only when we can convince people how pressing the issue is, and not so much for a comprehensive solution. A solution to any modern issue requires collaboration by many, so I would be surprised if any one academic alone can offer solutions to a problem they discuss.

have you seen Middle nation's videos on hallaq's the impossible state.
1:52:39 wink wink, nod

Islam of the pre fossil fuels age cannot remain the same post the fossil fuels era. Islam's message should now also align with the non-negotiable principles of energy in nature, thereby extending its original teaching in physics to cover for finite Energy resources, too: "أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ" “In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most. No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores. No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it. This universal truth applies to all systems. Energy, like time, flows from past to future” (2017).

I am a '91Gulf War veteran who attended a "diversity university" in the Midwest where gay American students still live in fear--Mankato State University--a university where Muslim heterosexual foreign students are more welcome on campus than the local gay students. When I was there, a US Army Afghan war veteran committed suicide in the basement of the school library while a Muslim Afghan Pashtun Engineering student was posing for photos in front of the library with Koran in hand in his traditional clothes. So, yes, there is a problem with Edward Said. If you are going to talk about "Orientalism" why dont you talk about the city I am writing from, Bangkok? it is a hell of a lot more oriental and tolerant than either the Middle East or the USA.

[27] And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 2:7,15-17 ASV And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. [15] And Jehovah God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. [16] And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: [17] but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Genesis 3:1-6 ASV Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden? [2] And the woman said unto the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat: [3] but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. [4] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: [5] for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil. [6] And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. Hosea 6:7 ASV But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. Isaiah 43:27 ASV Thy first father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. Malachi 2:8 ASV But ye are turned aside out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble in the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith Jehovah of hosts. Deuteronomy 29:9,29 ASV Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do. [29] The secret things belong unto Jehovah our God; but the things that are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 30:11-14 ASV For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not too hard for thee, neither is it far off. [12] It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it? [13] Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it? [14] But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. Deuteronomy 6:4,18,25 ASV Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah: [18] And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers, [25] And it shall be righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as he hath commanded us. Deuteronomy 4:2 ASV Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you. Deuteronomy 12:32 ASV What thing soever I command you, that shall ye observe to do: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. Deuteronomy 5:32 ASV Ye shall observe to do therefore as Jehovah your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. Deuteronomy 13:4 ASV Ye shall walk after Jehovah your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. Malachi 3:6 ASV For I, Jehovah, change not; therefore ye, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
Also I don’t agree with Hallaq that the subjgative, nature and native exterminating, acculturating and replacing with settlement formation - colonial project, that this started in modern Europe. I think 1) it’s a direct continuation of Roman, Hun, Viking and Gothic tradition and 2) the closest recent parallel was the Moghul onslaughts of Asia/Europe - until they took on Islam or Buddhism and matured morally. I think western Christianity and its mirror secular religions are particularly interesting in promoting a different moral values system than other local religious traditions. 3) If we look at the Europeans and Turkic/Mughal/Viking/Macedonian cultures as all sharing a common ancestral origin of a nomadic warrior natured, non-urban culture from around Central and Northern Asia, I think this explains a lot more why Europeans had radically different moral values and landscapes than their neighbouring societies in Greece, Egypt, the Levant, Iraq, Persia and India.

Imam Tom’s headwear is a badge of honor for his accomplishments, if you only knew the significance.
Imam Tom studied at the Faculty of Shariah. So he's an extremist who looooves Shariah law. There is no other reason why someone would study that.
