We have already published a number of posts on the subject which contain viewpoint of Muslim scholars. But today, we share one of the most enlightening lecture on Islam to understand why submission is not to surrender to the will of God, but to align one's will to the will of The Creator. In fact it is one of the best lecture I have found on telling the world what Islam is in its real sense and how it turns subission to one true God by aligning personal will with the will of God.
This lecture is by one of the most renowned motivational speaker David Attenborough in which he shares a powerful personal reflection on life’s purpose, spirituality, and the moment he discovered Islam as a source of peace and meaning. Whether you’re on a spiritual journey, seeking purpose, or just need inspiration, this speech will resonate with your soul.
David Attenborough asserts that world is not based on random evetns without purpose but the patterns of life around us are infacct bonded in preccision and harmony that represent not randomism but wisdom, comsisitennt with natural laws and cosmos.
Explore how science, nature, and faith intersect — and why so many seekers are finding hope in unexpected places. Perfect for those curious about Islam, self-growth, or the deeper questions of life. You may now like to watch the 20 minutes lecture, titled "I Was Just Searching for Meaning… Then I Found Islam",and I am very sure that if you listen to the eminent scholar without prejudices and hostility to Islam, your lens of understanding Islam will be much more clearer:
May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.
وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ
(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”
That is Our duty is only to convey to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.
May Allah forgive me if my posts ever imply a piety far greater than I possess. I am most in need of guidance.
Reading the Qur'ān should be a daily obligation of a Muslim - Reading it with translation will make it meaningful. But reading its Exegesis / Tafsir will make you understand it fully. It will also help the Muslims to have grasp over social issues and their answers discussed in the Qur'an and other matter related to inter faith so that they are able to discuss issues with non-Muslims with authority based on refences from Qur'an.
Note: When we mention God in our posts, we mean One True God, we call Allah in Islam, with no associates. Allah is the Sole Creator of all things, and that Allah is all-powerful and all-knowing. Allah has no offspring, no race, no gender, no body, and is unaffected by the characteristics of human life.
