May Allah's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you!
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds
and may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon the messenger Muhammad
and upon all his family and companions.
Welcome all!
Nowadays, there's a skeptical wave due to two things:
the first one is the ignorance
They are unaware of Sharia [Islamic Law]; they don't know the difference between specific and general orders, absolute and restricted,
reference of religious text
or methodology of checking Hadith as well as Sharia details.
Hence, those youth have become an easy target for those who spread atheism and suspicions.
The second thing is the lack of good examples of good Muslim scholars on the scene.
I swear, this is one of the calamities of the end of Time.
That wave with its presence requires a strict situation.
It requires another episode from specialists to remind people of rules to how to answer atheists' suspicions.
It requires that we don't let that wave invade our youths' minds.
It demands hard work and teach our kids Islam.
It demands response to suspicions of atheists and libelants.
And this is some of rights towards God the Almighty.
Imam (ʾibn al-Qayyim) says,
"Some rights of God (from his servants) is to respond to those who defame His Holy Book, Prophets and religion.
And to face with with every possible means
as this deeds is the best - concerning faith."
Confronting and disproof that skeptical wave is championing to Islam and shame on disbelievers.
The strongest thing upon disbeliever is to disprove his suspicions.
and show people how trivial they are.
Imam (ʾibn Ḥazm) says in his book (al-ʾIḥkām):
"Unbelievers and hypocrites find exposing their sayings so hard with clear evidence.
which major troopers may be defeated with.
The clear and true evidence is never defeated.
As it's much closer to the Right
and more favorable to the religion than weapons and soldiers."
Imam (al-Qurṭubī) says about the interpretation of Chapter 25, Verse 52 in The Noble Qur'an:
"but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness"
Imam (al-Qurṭubī) says, "It's unabated struggle."
Fighting against the liars, respond to his suspicions
and showing people the proofs and evidences that confirm the accuracy and correctness of Islam
is one of the greatest deeds one can ever do in his life.
In this episode, I'm gonna show you ten rules to follow when arguing with atheists.
Let's start with the blessings of Allah.
#1st RULE: Only discuss when having proper and needed knowledge.
Only those who have knowledge, characteristics and talent may discuss and argue with atheists.
Allah says in The Noble Qur'an: [Chapter 3 Sūrah ʾāli-ʿImrān, Verse 66]
"but why dispute ye in matters of which ye have no knowledge?"
Imam (al-Saʿdī) says,
"This verse is a proof (and indicates) that it isn't permissible for any Muslims to argue with people while not having knowledge.
Because people with little or no knowledge might let down the right from the same point he wants to achieve success.
Be cautious of saying [rumor] about God without right or knowledge.
Be cautious of attributing odd matters to Islam.
It's alright to say, "I don't know." if anyone asks you a question you don't know its answer.
This doesn't hurt your position at all.
Those firm in knowledge, whom God made people love and accept them, were known for saying "I don't know" when they didn't have the required knowledge.
They always said "I don't know" as long as proofs don't come out.
Therefore, I ask Muslims to seek knowledge to face this contemporary skeptical wave.
Each scholar and learner - who has knowledge and talent - must go forth to people
and to confront to that wave using all possible means.
I've already written a curriculum to anyone wants to specialize in this section.
I've gathered the required books and lectures in two files:
atheism criticism and religious knowledge.
They are the #1st and #2nd links in the description.
I hope you will download and spread them among enthusiast.
#2nd RULE: Leniency and patience
One must be delicate and subtle [gentle] with opponents so that they may be guided.
Allah says in The Noble Qur'an [Chapter 20 Sūrah Ṭā-Hā, Verse 44]
to Moses and Aaron about Pharaoh who was the most extravagant disbeliever:
"But speak to him mildly; perchance he may take warning or fear Allah."
If opponents of atheists refused guidance, then they must be reject their evil.
Imam (al-Ġazālī) says,
"The most cases of ignorance were only instilled in the souls of commoners when a group of the rightful owners who were ignorant.
As roughness and boorishness make the ignorant people stick to falsehood.
Boorishness arouse stubbornness and opposition.
Boorishness also works on instilling the wrong belief in the souls."
You must respond to the questioner (or doubter) amiably and gently.
Following the dialogue, get used to give him a book that enhance the truth [certainty]
or a book that shows and proofs the certainty and correctness of Islam.
Feel free to give him the books - that I mentioned in the first rule - about atheism criticism.
Don't forget to tell those who had suspicions to have a habit of reading The Noble Qur'an slowly and mindfully.
As The Noble Qur'an has healing for each extensional question that may come to mind.
Always advise people who have suspicions to read The Noble Qur'an carefully.
#3rd RULE: Don't argue with atheists amongst the commoners.
(which is the most serious rule)
Don't respond to a suspicion among Muslims who had never heard of it.
Our hearts always stick to the odd.
Abnormal and weird thoughts are settled down in our souls for long time.
Don't expose the pure innateness of people to the dirtiness or suffering from suspicions
even if you can respond to those suspicions.
Because their minds may be engaged in other thing during your response.
And they might don't comprehend your response and this may result in sticking suspicion in minds.
Sheikh (Musṭafā Ṣabrī) says about the famous debate that attempted between
Sheikh (Muḥammad ʿAbduh) and (Faraḥ ʾAnṭūn),
It's a debate attempted 100 years ago,
"Sheikh (Muḥammad ʿAbduh) was the winner - officially.
But (Faraḥ ʾAnṭūn) was the one who became famous and his suspicions and quotes spreaded betweeb people."
(Faraḥ ʾAnṭūn)'s suspicions spreaded among people.
Because people's minds stick to weird and odd ideas.
And this is the most serious and dangerous issue we face.
As odd and weird ideas stuck in minds.
Suspicions may result into distracting one's doctrine.
Prophet Muhammad PBUH says: [in the authenticated Hadith]
"and if anyone invites others to follow error, the sin, will be equivalent to that of the people who follow him in sinfulness"
We ask God the Almighty to protect us.
Only respond to suspicions among people who got affected by it.
May God forgive us - as long as we have good intentions and posted the response wisely.
Somebody may say, "But the suspicions of atheists are so trivial and stupid. So why shall we concern?!"
We concern because there are trivial and superficial young men too who got affected by the dumbest suspicion.
And that suspicion may disturb or annoy him greatly.
#4th RULE: Even the slightest suspicion requires tons of evidences.
The pious predecessors when responding to a suspicion, they were collecting evidences
from The Noble Qur'an, Sunnah and scholar consensus,
intellectual and perceived evidences as well.
So that the response becomes strong, powerful and coherent.
On the other hand, contemporary debaters detail the suspicions and summarize its response.
The answer ought to be powerful!
Also, you must handle the suspicions wisely
And move from evidence to another
to substantiate your answer so that the questioner must accept it..
This is the way of Prophets and their followers and companions of handling suspicions.
For instance, when Prophet Abraham PBUH debated the disbeleiver: Nimrod.
And God tells us this debate in The Noble Qur'an
Allah says in The Noble Qur'an: [Chapter 2 Sūrah al-Baqarah, Verse 258]
"Hast thou not Turned thy vision to one who disputed with Abraham About his Lord,
because Allah had granted him power?
Abraham said: "My Lord is He Who Giveth life and death."
Nimrod, then, put forth the suspicion.
He said: "I give life and death".
Prophet Abraham could have finished that topic as well.
But he PBUH feared the commoners many think that the Truth can include Give-and-Take.
So Abraham PBUH restrained Nimrod from another quick way.
"Said Abraham: "But it is Allah that causeth the sun to rise from the east:
Do thou then cause him to rise from the West."
Thus was he confounded who in arrogance rejected faith.
Nor doth Allah Give guidance to a people unjust."
So Prophet Abraham PBUH moved from evidence that people may think it include give-and-take
to a quick proof.
"Thus was he confounded who in arrogance rejected faith."
Showing the weaknesses of a specific suspicions and several proofs that support his answer
makes the questioner feel comforted.
We ask God the Almighty to teach us.
#5th RULE: A thousand lectures and one debate.
This rule supports the third rule.
Some people feel delighted to debate atheists
But, as we mentioned, that debates and symposiums are the biggest reason for spreading suspicions.
Imam (al-Lālikāʾī) says,
"The most dangerous catastrophe Muslims had was debating Nonconformists.
Nonconformists were at worst case and condition after the pious predecessors hadn't attached importance to them.
Nonconformists were foaming with rage because they found no one to debate with."
Atheists want to be debated - even if they would be defeated
so that they could spread this rubbish and bull$hit.
Until arrogant debaters of Muslims came then atheists and Nonconformists found a way to spread their innovations.
And they called for a debate.
Then, ordinary people who never thought of these suspicions heard of them.
It's not wise at all to debate anyone,
Do a thousand lectures, but a single debate.
Only debate atheist who has many followers and believers who infatuated with him.
So that you expose his ignorance and contradiction.
And make sure your debate isn't in public, but within his followers and supporters.
#6th RULE: Avoid listening to suspicions.
Muslims originally don't listen or pursue suspicions.
Only suspicion-response specialists listen and read them.
Other than specialists, who want to publish their responses, aren't allowed to listen or read them.
Whoever can't swim mustn't approach The River Thames.
That's a mental axiom!
Only those who can respond to suspicions are allowed to read and listen to them.
Allah says in The Noble Qur'an: [Chapter 4 Sūrah al-Nisāʾ, Verse 140]
"Already has He sent you Word in the Book,
that when ye hear the signs of Allah held in defiance and ridicule,
ye are not to sit with them unless they turn to a different theme:
if ye did, ye would be like them.
For Allah will collect the hypocrites and those who defy faith - all in Hell"
It's not allowed to sit in a meeting or session whereupon the signs and Prophets of Allah held in defiance and ridicule.
It's unlawfully to join the places of raising suspicions .
Suspicions affect our souls badly as our hearts are weak.
(ʾabū Qilābah) says, "Never blend or join people who put forth suspicions lest they should lead you astray,
or they may make you doubtful towards issues you already believe in."
(ʾibn Qudāmah) says, "The Pious Attendants prohibited association with people of innovation in religion,
reading their books or listening to them."
By the time, suspicions bring dark suggestions of the soul, Satan's whispers to your heart.
Imam (al-Ḏahabī) says about (ʾibn al-Rāwandī):
(ʾibn al-Rāwandī) was famous for accompanying atheists and Rafidites [rejector of faith].
"Whenever (ʾibn al-Rāwandī) was blamed for that, he justified that by saying that he wants to know their opinions and beliefs.
Till he became an atheists and insulted Islam and Muslims."
(al-Ḏahabī) says about (ʾibn ʿAqīl) as he quotes:
"Our fellows who follow the school of (ʾAḥmad ʾibn Ḥanbal) wants me to leave a group of scholars
and this deprives me from beneficial knowledge."
(al-Ḏahabī) comments,
"They were forbidding him from associating with Nonconformists but he refused.
Until he fell in their scams concerning interpretation of religious texts.
We ask God the Almighty the safety.
Imam (Sufyān al-Ṯawrī) says,
"Whoever heard a bad innovation - in religion - mustn't tell it to his fellows.
lest it might be thrown into their hearts."
Imam (al-Ḏahabī) quoted it and commented,
"'Most of the pious predecessors agree this warning,
and they believe that our hearts are weak and suspicions are seizing.
Only specialists respond to suspicions
if suspicions spread."
The major problem is that some of our youth have little knowledge and cognitive immunization.
And his soul deceives him to listen to some suspicions to publish response for them.
In time, his faith weakens then he declines in force.
Unfortunately, this problem exists!
As hearts are weak and lusts are many.
The path of suspicions to our hearts is easy as long as lusts are numerous.
lust is the deliverer of suspicions.
I advise you to fear God and not make your faith - which is the most precious thing you have - liable to lust or suspicion.
For each suspicion a convulsing response.
in each suspicion,
In each suspicion, there's a proof that supports the truth for scholars.
People who once had suspicions and repented to God laugh at those suspicions they fell in lately.
But why taking such a huge the risk at the beginning?!
Only scholars and specialists are allowed to listen to suspicions to respond to them
and show people how claimers are liar, impostor and deceitful.
We ask God the Almighty to protect our belief and let us die as Muslims.
#7th RULE: Differentiate between the faint and popular suspicion.
Faint [dead] suspicion, you mustn't revive it to respond to it.
As it's mentioned in a saying of the Prophet PBUH,
"Perish the falsehood by not mentioning it."
On the other hand, scholars must respond to the common and popular suspicions widely
to throng together the propaganda that suspicions resulted in.
So that the response could defeat the suspicion and spread among Muslims.
(al-Dārimī) says in criticism of (Bišr al-Marrīsī) when his sayings spread amongs people,
"When you interpreted the Qur'an against what God Wanted, each Muslim with evidence had to show people the falsification fo your call."
Each scholar or specialists must response strongly to suspicion once it spread - and publish this response.
#8th RULE: Response to suspicion with overall and detailed response
Most of suspicions have proofs that support the Message inside.
If the questioner accepts the suspicion he puts throw, he must accept the proof that support the Message as well.
Because both of them is from the same source.
For instance, when an atheist comes and tells you that he has a suspicion about (Banī Qurayẓah)
The overall response is that the source that the questioner get this suspicion from is full of proofs that support the Message.
If you give him proper response to that suspicion, then you give him a proof that Muhammad PBUH is a Prophet sent by God then.
This what overall response means.
For the detailed response,
If the atheist asked, "How could the Prophet PBUH kill the Jews of (Banī Qurayẓah)?!
Then we must bring out the full incident [story] for him until the Truth becomes clear to him.
The story goes like this:
During the Battle of the Trench, The Confederates gathered in the north of Medina.
And only the trench separated them from exterminating the Islamic nation in Medina in just a few months.
The Muslims were totally surrounded except for the southern area
where the Jews of (Banī Qurayẓah) live.
There was an agreement between Prophet PBUH and the Jews of (Banī Qurayẓah).
Muslims' wives and children were in the southern area near (Banī Qurayẓah).
Days passed and the seige got more tough,
meanwhile, (Ḥuyayy ʾibn ʾAḫṭab), who was the father of (Ṣafiyyah bint Ḥuyayy), went to the Jews of (Banī Qurayẓah)
and convinced them to abolish their agreement with Prophet PBUH.
As it was the greatest opportunity, which will not be repeated, to demolish the Islamic nation once and for all.
The Jews of Banī Qurayẓah agreed to abolish the agreement
opened their front and prepared themselves to attack Muslims in Medina.
Allah says about this in The Noble Qur'an; [Chapter 33, Verse 10]
"Behold! they came on you from above you and from below you"
The Confederates attacked from above and the Jews of (Banī Qurayẓah) from below.
As Prophet Muhammad PBUH was busy with the Confederates siege, he PBUH had heard of what happened (abolishing the agreement),
he sent (Zayd ʾibn Ḥāriṯah) with 300 soldiers to protect Muslim's wives and children.
And He PBUH also sent (Saʿd ʾibn ʿUbādah) and (Saʿd ʾibn Muʿāḏ) to observe the news.
Did the Jews of (Banī Qurayẓah) really abolish the agreement?
And they found the Jews of Banī Qurayẓah at the worst case.
The Jews were insulting Islam and Muslim,
and they were screaming and saying, "Who will support Muhammad now?"
The two Companions had reached Prophet Muhammad PBUH and told him of what happened.
At that moment, it was already finished.
It was the most dangerous attack upon the Islamic nation of all times.
And the siege was so fierce.
Prophet Muhammad PBUH didn't have enough weapons or soldiers to delay that siege.
They didn't have the military aid if the enemy crossed the trench or turned around the southern area.
Allah says about that moment in The Noble Qur'an; [Chapter 33, Verses 10&11]
"Behold! they came on you from above you and from below you,
and behold, the eyes became dim
and the hearts gaped up to the throats,
and ye imagined various vain thoughts about Allah!
In that situation were the Believers tried: they were shaken as by a tremendous shaking."
Prophet Muhammad PBUH and his Companions slept that night and they were so upset.
Then he stood up and said, "Allah is the Greatest."
And He PBUH gave them glad tidings of victory.
It was only a few hours that a great wind blew and it destroyed the army of confederates and uproot their hearts.
The disbelievers fled to the desert and didn't even think about the battle they started.
Allah says about this miracle in The Noble Qur'an; [Chapter 33, Verse 9]
"O ye who believe! Remember the Grace of Allah, bestowed on you,
when there came down on you hosts to overwhelm you:
But We sent against them a hurricane and forces that ye saw not"
How much horror that was casted into their hearts to flee in the desert because of wind despite they were full armored?!
What made them flee and never came back?!
This is one of the divine secrets that Allah the Almighty to (support) His prophets and the righteous ones.
And then, the Jews of Banī Qurayẓah faced the consequence of their treason
that no can can ever deny.
One of the aspects of justice to Prophet PBUH that he chose (Saʿd ʾibn Muʿāḏ) (who was one of Banī Qurayẓah) as a court to judge that case.
(Saʿd ʾibn Muʿāḏ) judged them according to The Old Testament [Torah] they believe in.
His judgement stated that the men who had betrayed the covenant must be killed.
(Saʿd ʾibn Muʿāḏ) says: [in the authenticated Hadith]
"I judge that their warriors should be killed."
Such great justice!
The men who had betrayed the covenant must be killed.
Snakes of treason and treachery were exterminated.
This is a practical example of detailed response to a suspicion.
It's one of the most famous suspicion among atheists.
But it would be nice to follow up with an overall response
that traces the origin of suspicion in atheist's mind and oblige him to accept the truth.
The overall response would be,
"How did Prophet Muhammad PBUH know that victory is so near
and a miracle would happen at that time?!
How would God support His prophet in that critical time
with such clear victory that God Told in His Book?!
How could the disbelievers of the Confederates flee because of "wind"?!
This makes the questioner get the Truth.
At the same story, when Muslims were completely surrounded,
it was mention that (Jābir) invited Prophet Muhammad PBUH to have a meal with him
and to accompany [go with] the Prophet PBUH three Companions.
Behold! Prophet Muhammad PBUH invited the whole army for that meal - nearly one thousand men.
And he PBUH told (Jābir) not to bake the dough till He PBUH comes and bless it.
One thousand men ate from (Jābir)'s food.
Then they left as if the food hadn't been touched.
There are five authenticated Hadith about Prophet's augmentation of food.
Why do you admit the suspicion and deny the miracle within?!
That's an example of an overall response.
The overall response cuts the time and it's easy to be remembered.
It's a wonderful mental evidence, as well.
The same purpose that atheists use to get suspicions is already full of proofs that support the Message.
If you give him proper response to that suspicion, then you give him a proof that Muhammad PBUH is a Prophet sent by God then.
If you can't recall a specific proof,
overall, if the origin of this suspicion The Noble Qur'an, The Qur'an is full of miracles.
Then why do you admit the suspicion and deny the miracle within?!
If it was taken out of a Hadith, authenticated Hadiths are full of miracles.
Whatsoever an atheist forth a suspicion from The Noble Qur'an, all the more he must accept Qur'an's miracles.
If you acknowledge a single suspicion, then you must acknowledge tens of miracles
that proves that Prophet Muhammad PBUH is most high in prophecy.
For instance, The Noble Qur'an told that Allah will return his Messenger to Mecca after he migrated from it.
Allah says in The Noble Qur'an: [Chapter 28 Sūrah al-Qaṣaṣ, Verse 85]
"Verily He Who ordained the Qur'an for thee, will bring thee back to the Place of Return."
What God the Almighty told occurred!
Also, The Noble Qur'an told that Prophet Muhammad PBUH and his Companions
will enter al-Masjid al-Harām with thier heads shaved and hair shortened
after disbelievers prevented Him from Mecca.
Allah says in The Noble Qur'an: [Chapter 48 Sūrah al-Fatḥ, Verse 27]
"ye shall enter the Sacred Mosque, if Allah wills, with minds secure, heads shaved, hair cut short"
What God the Almighty told occurred!
And He said that there would be another triumph after the entery of the Sacred Mosque: Conquest of Ḫaybar.
"and He granted, besides this, a speedy victory." [Chapter 48 Sūrah al-Fatḥ, Verse 27]
What God the Almighty told occurred!
God the Almighty tell that he will enrich (Qurayš)
"soon will Allah enrich you" [Chapter 9 Sūrah al-Tawbah, Verse 28]
What God the Almighty told occurred!
The Noble Qur'an told that (ʾabū Lahab) will die as a disbeliever.
What God the Almighty told occurred!
The Noble Qur'an told that (al-Walīd ʾibn al-Muġīrah) will die as a disbeliever too.
"Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire!" [Chapter 74 Sūrah al-Muddaṯṯir, Verse 26]
What God the Almighty told occurred!
The Noble Qur'an told that (al-Walīd ʾibn al-Muġīrah) was fortunate in having many sons
and he wants more.
But, By no means!
"By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory!" [Chapter 74 Sūrah al-Muddaṯṯir, Verse 16]
And he wasn't given other than that.
What God the Almighty told occurred!
The Noble Qur'an told that the Roman Empire will be defeated by the Persians in within a few years.
Allah says in The Noble Qur'an: [Chapter 30 Sūrah al-Rūm, Verses 2-4]
"The Roman Empire has been defeated-
In a land close by; but they, even after this defeat of theirs, will soon be victorious-
Within a few years. With Allah is the Decision, in the past and in the Future"
Even that seemed impossible according to balance of power at that time.
What God the Almighty told occurred!
The Noble Qur'an challenged the Jews to express their desire of death,
but they didn't!
Allah says in The Noble Qur'an: [Chapter 62 Sūrah al-Jumuʿah, Verses 6&7]
"Say: "O ye that stand on Judaism! If ye think that ye are friends to Allah, to the exclusion of other men,
then express your desire for Death, if ye are truthful!"
But never will they express their desire for Death, because of the deeds their hands have sent on before them!"
They never expressed their desire for death
because they know if they did, they would have been dead at that very moment.
They couldn't!
Some Muslim scholars says, "The Jews didn't desire death even it's so easy.
And because Prophet Muhammad PBUH that they're eager to accuse Him of lying.
Prophet Muhammad PBUH didn't say it's from me - but from our Lord.
This is more serious and harder for the Jews than to produce the like the Qur'an like He PBUH challenged the Arab.
This situation can't be demonstrated without having certainty.
Atheists and enemies of the Prophets felt puzzled because the Jews didn't express their desire for death!
If they had done that, they would have accused him of lying so that they would rest.
There are so many evidences like this in The Noble Qur'an.
Admitting these miracles is all in the more necessary if atheists acknowledged suspicions.
With the exact measurement, in the Sunnah [Hadiths],
there's always no way that atheists use to form suspicions that has more miracles within.
Accepting the way that a specific suspicion came from leads to accepting miracles
as miracles came from more authenticated ways.
There are countless examples in this field.
For instance, an authenticated Hadith mentions that water came out from between Prophet's fingers.
This Hadith has a most high authentication.
A large group of Companions witnessed it.
Companions were on travel and ran out of water.
And they saw the water coming out from between his fingers and 1400 men performed Wudū' [ablution] from it.
And they said, "That water would suffice us even if we were one hundred thousand men."
That's a miracle higher in rank [authority] for anyone who has a suspicion.
Not a single suspicion would exist in your mind then.
For instance, when a Companion got his eye prolapsed to his cheek,
Another Companion whose broken leg was healed after Prophet Muhammad PBUH wiped his hand on it.
then Prophet Muhammad PBUH placed it back and it was healed at once.
All of those Hadiths are authenticated.
And the Hadith of (ʾUmm Ḥarām bint Malḥān),
when Prophet Muhammad PBUH told her that there would be people of his nation who will sailing on the surface of the sea fighting for God's sake
and she would be the first martyr in that kind of fight.
What Prophet Muhammad PBUH told, occurred.
That Hadith is mentioned in the Books of (al-Buḫārī) and (Muslim).
The mosque of (ʾUmm Ḥarām) still exists in Cyprus.
And that Hadith about the man who apostatized during the life of Prophet PBUH.
Prophet Muhammad PBUH said, "The Earth won't accept his body."
When that man died, the Earth extruded him and didn't accept his body.
And that Hadith about the log that whimpered - that Hadith is well-known and continuously recurrent.
Prophet Muhammad PBUH used to give Khutbah next to a tree log
and then they made a Minbar for him, so he gave Khutbahs on it,
the tree log whimpered like a child.
So the Prophet PBUH rubbed it, and it quieted.
The people [Companions] who narrated that Hadith are
(ʾAnas ʾibn Mālik), (Jābir ʾibn ʿabd-Allāh), (ʿabd-Allāh ʾibn ʿAbbās), (ʿabd-Allāh ʾibn ʿUmar), (ʾUbayy ʾibn Kaʿb),
(ʾabū Saʿīd al-Ḫudrī), (Sahl ʾibn Saʿd),
(ʿĀʾišah bint ʾabū Bakr) and (ʾUmm Salamah).
Also, Prophet Muhammad PBUH told people some of the unseen that God had told him
like the declaration of death of Armah at the same day he died.
At that day, Prophet Muhammad PBUH went to the mosque and said "Allah is the Greatest" four times.
Also, Prophet Muhammad PBUH told people about the caravan of (Qurayš Tribe) when the people of Mecca challenged him
to prove his miracle of the Night journey to Heaven
Prophet PBUH also told people about the killing of (ʾUmayyah ʾibn Ḫalaf)
and the secret message of (Ḥāṭib ʾibn ʾabī Baltaʿah).
Also, Prophet Muhammad PBUH told people about the killing of the four leaders in battle of (Muʾtah).
Also, Prophet Muhammad PBUH told people that (al-Ḥasan ʾibn ʿAlī) will conciliate between two major groups of Muslims.
All of those Hadiths have the most high tank in authentication.
Also, Prophet Muhammad PBUH were granted to ask God and getting his demand at once.
There are countless Hadiths in this field.
For instance, Hadith that was narrated by (ʾAnas ʾibn Mālik)
"While the Prophet PBUH was delivering the sermon on the pulpit on a Friday,
a Bedouin stood up and said, "O Allah's Messenger PBUY!
The livestock are dying and the families offspring are hungry: please pray to Allah to bless us with rain."
Allah's Messenger PBUH raised both his hands towards the sky and at that time there was not a trace of cloud in they sky.
Then the clouds started gathering like mountains.
Before he got down from the pulpit I saw rainwater trickling down his beard.
It rained that day, the next day, the third day, the fourth day and till the next Friday"
Whoever accepts a suspicion must accept those miracles too.
As overall and detailed answers make your response so powerful.
Especially for someone who suffer from several suspicions.
Therefore, using overall response is more appropriate to make the answer powerful and clear.
However, there're some suspicions that are rejected [expelled] because of its implausibility.
Such suspicions that don't need neither overall nor detailed answer.
They are expelled at once.
For instance, atheists assume that there are grammatical mistakes in The Noble Qur'an!
This suspicion is rejected once atheists put it forth because the science of grammatical arrangement of words,
that they judge The Noble Qur'an according to it,
linguists founded it according to the words and poems of Arabs
and The Noble Qur'an as well.
The speaking of Prophet PBUH was a reference to linguists when they founded the grammars.
People who received The Noble Qur'an form the first time were the one who were raised with Prophet PBUH in Badia.
So, it's unreasonable for all of them to receive mistakes without noticing it
while they are the original evidence that linguists use.
Therefore, that suspicion became a converse contradicted logic.
So you may use an overall or detailed answer
or you can just ignore it as it's unreasonable at all.
You can, also, tell that guy that suspicion is unreasonable so that he could understand your point of view.
As the questioner of these kinds of suspicions has little amount of knowledge.
There's a following rule too:
which is we must differentiate between the Revealed religious text and the understanding of it (that some Muslims absorbed).
Because most sources of suspicion are only about gossip.
#9th RULE:
Atheists ask, "Why are there suspicions in Islam as long as it is the right religion?!"
The answer is, "Who told you that this isn't Sharia's intended purpose?!"
This indicates how we failed to fully comprehend the issue of major commissioning order.
The chief element of Islam is having a ratio of allegorical matters,
so that Allah may distinguish the wicked from the good.
So that the wicked follow and accept those suspicions and turn their backs on the clear truth.
Allah says in The Noble Qur'an: [Chapter 3 Sūrah ʾāli-ʿImrān, Verse 7]
"He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: In it are verses basic or fundamental of established meaning;
they are the foundation of the Book:
others are allegorical.
But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical,
seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings,
but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah."
So, God the Almighty has already told us there are allegorical and fundamental verses.
So that the wicked follow and accept those suspicions and turn their backs on the clear truth.
There are people who delight in suspicions.
Moreover, they fear of listening to its response lest they got mentally obliged to accept the Message and God.
So those people deserve perversity in their hearts.
How would be there faith or disbelief, misguidance or complacency and
obedience or disobedience
if there weren't any suspicions?!
Let's complete the previous verse,
"But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical,
seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings,
but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah.
And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord:"
and none will grasp the Message except men of understanding."
Allah says about those people in The Noble Qur'an: [Chapter 67 Sūrah al-Mulk, Verse 10]
"They will further say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence,
we should not (now) be among the Companions of the Blazing Fire!"
The signs and proofs that substantiate the Message are clear.
However, there are allegorical verses.
There must be thinking and consideration
so that there could be either believer or disbeliever.
Allah says in The Noble Qur'an: [Chapter 2 Sūrah al-Baqarah, Verse 26]
"By it He causes many to stray, and many He leads into the right path;
but He causes not to stray, except those who forsake the path"
You reach the certainty - concerning believing in the Message - it's gained by thinking mindfully,
thinking about Prophets,
considering the evidences he brought and being honest,
God's support to him,
his doctrine corresponds to previous Prophets' doctrine
and other proofs.
On the contrary, basic and fundamental verses are clear, powerful and full of proofs and evidences.
Over time, allegorical issues will use hypothesis and guessings.
Allegorical issues will have its going and forth till will inherit the earth and whoever is on it.
Allah says in The Noble Qur'an: [Chapter 45 Sūrah al-Jāṯiyah, Verse 27]
"And the Day the Hour appears - that Day the falsifiers will lose."
Allegorical verses will remain till the occurrence of the Hour
but it will remain fragile and vulnerable.
The most eloquent and fluent atheist won't be able to defeat a single axiom
or approach a single mental, innate or theoretically proof that support his atheism.
What distinguishes a suspicion is that it correspond to lust.
#10th RULE: If atheism was authentic, not a single suspicion would exist.
This rule is considered an overall response to suspicions.
There would no be any suspicions at all if atheism was true.
The atheist is the person who denies the unseen,
,subsequently, he denies the Divine Creation
and only believes in the material world.
Here, atheism itself becomes the perfect evidences that atheism is wrong.
Such a strange paradox!
A divine introductory.
And the materialistic introductory doesn't substantiate our feeling of the suspicions at all.
In conclusion, what distinguishes that suspicious wave is that it's miscellaneous and numerous but superficial at the same time.
And it's so easy to response to it by those who gain some knowledge.
newcomers to this field think that they must study physics, chemistry, biology, math and English to response to atheists' suspicions.
This is completely wrong
So you have to study just those specific cases and don't think that you need to study the whole sciences.
In the interests of time, I advise you to study those cases from books that dealt with.
You can search for any term you didn't understand in that book.
This will save your time.
For instance, you should read this book (Penetrating a mind; By Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim)
to know atheistic cases and issues related to physics.
Concerning to biology, field of evolution is what counts.
This book: (The Battle of Evolution; By Dr. Khlaed Saeed) is the best.
to know atheistic cases and issues related to physics.
This book clarifies their evidences, in all fairness, then it respond to that so-called evidences in a scientific manner.
You can search for any term you didn't understand in that book.
For instance, you can search for genetic encoding in human beings as one of the evidences that proves God's creation
It's so easy and atheism turned out to be a great way of calling for Islam.
Atheism spread these days due to the dominion of western culture over the contemporary mind.
Suspicions appear to our youths when they look at the value through the western scope [spectacles].
If you told him the problems of western culture, its private condition and having multiple contradictions,
Responding to suspicions is too easy.
It's an invaluable chance to be born in this age and having the ability to call people for God the Almighty.

Atheists are hollow and stray.
Atheists are hollow and stray.
Atheism isn't a cognitive building
It's easy to call people for the only monotheistic religion on the Earth today: Islam.

You only talk to the innateness of atheists.
It will make him feel bothered till he accepts the truth.
Or else, he will indulge in pride, lost and fancy.
Atheists decorate their suspicions by repeating them million times:
images, filters, editing, caricature and insidious manners to cheat people.
On the other side, it only takes a simple response with fine editing to destroy those insidious manners of suspicions.
On the other side, it only takes a simple response with fine editing to destroy those insidious manners of suspicions.
Allah says in The Noble Qur'an: [Chapter 86 Sūrah al-Ṭāriq, Verses 11-17]
"By the Firmament which returns in its round, And by the Earth which opens out for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation,-
Behold this is the Word that distinguishes Good from Evil:
It is not a thing for amusement.
As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,
And I am planning a scheme.
Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently for awhile."
We ask God the Almighty to teach us all.
most of suspicions collapse immediately.
