Western philosophy.
0:12
The Western philosophical stance is characterized by instability.
0:16
It oscillates between atheism and its polar opposite without any middle ground.
0:22
For example:
0:24
The transition of Western philosophy from monasticism to hedonistic permissiveness.
0:31
From the features of these misguided philosophies, other philosophies emerged.
0:36
And philosophies were imported.
0:38
The most significant of which are:
0:40
The philosophy of pantheism (wahdat al-wujud).
0:42
And the philosophy of negation (ta'til) and indwelling (hulul).
0:45
Which were transmitted to the people of innovation and speculative theology (kalam) among the Muslims.
0:49
And the philosophy of skepticism regarding everything.
0:52
Including self-evident truths and definitive certainties.
0:57
The discourse on philosophy and philosophical issues is extensive.
1:01
However, we summarize it by stating that we have only two paths before us, with no third option.
1:08
Either the Sharia of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic.
1:11
Or the whims of the conjecturers who have no knowledge.
1:15
Either the truth or misguidance.
1:18
Allah the Almighty said:
1:20
﴾Then We put you on a clear path [Sharia] of the matter; so follow it﴿.
1:24
“And now have We set thee (O Muhammad) on a clear road of (Our) commandment; so follow it, and follow not the whims of those who know not.” (45:18)
1:28
And the Almighty said:
1:30
“Such then is Allah, your rightful Lord. After the Truth what is there saving error? How then are ye turned away!” (10:32)
1:34
﴾Then how are you deluded?﴿
1:36
And the Almighty said:
1:38
“Is he who knoweth that what is revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the truth like him who is blind? But only men of understanding heed;” (13:19)
1:46
﴾Only those of understanding will take heed.﴿
