The Argument from Concept Acquisition for the Existence of God | Thread 🧵 This is a version of a cosmological-style argument applied to concept acquisition, drawing on the idea of a regress problem. Here’s a brief explanation and logical defense:

[A Companion Who Kissed a Woman Not Lawful for Him]
Some people assume that the Companions were like angels—incapable of sin, or that if they did err, it would be something minor, like a fleeting glance at most. They believe it impossible that a Companion could fall into sins

1/ But the matter went so far with one Companion that he kissed a woman who was not lawful for him.
So—was he finished?
Did the shackles of religion judge him as irredeemably sinful?
Were all doors closed in his face?

Absolutely not.

The commentary of Imām al-Ṭāhir ibn ʿĀshūr on the Qurʾānic prophecy (in Qurʾān 54:44-45) foretelling the future defeat of the disbelievers of Quraysh by the Muslims at the Battle of Badr—before it occurred | thread 🧵 Allah ﷻ says in the Noble Qurʾān:

“Or do they say, ‘We are a united group bound to prevail’? The multitude will be defeated and will turn their backs in flight.”

Two Masterful Linguistic Marvels in Qurʾān 2:93—A Testament to Its Divine Origin | thread 🧵 First read Qurʾān 2:93:

In this ḥādīth, there is a prophecy and a proof of the Prophethood of Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ, as he informed us of the future, which is the coming of the rejecters of ḥādīth before their existence (or as they falsely call themselves, "Quranists"). This was something unimaginable! Especially to the companions who obeyed the Prophet ﷺ even in the smallest matters, let alone in the legal rulings!

It also serves as a response to a weak argument they use, which is that the rulings not mentioned in the Qur'an aren't binding for them! So all of Fiqh basically!

1- being Muslim
2- having such a problem with something clearly from islam

And I don't think I've ever got an answer
