Return to Reality 4- Donald Anderson

Q: What prompted the shift in perspective regarding the divinity of Jesus?

The realization that Jesus was a prophet who consistently maintained his human status, combined with historical evidence showing that church councils imposed conflicting doctrines long after his time on earth, led to a rejection of the concept of the Trinity in favor of Tawheed.

Q: Why is terrorism considered incompatible with the teachings of the Qur'an?

The Qur'an explicitly forbids the killing of innocent people, stating that murdering one person is equivalent to murdering all of humanity. Consequently, violence and radicalism are rejected as strictly haram, as they contradict the core values of compassion, mercy, and justice.

Q: How does scientific study enhance a believer's connection to the Creator?

Studying fields like biology and cosmology allows a person to investigate the universe and ponder Allah's artistry in creation. This scientific inquiry confirms the infinite wisdom and power of the Creator as described in the Qur'an.

Q: What was the historical impact of the Council of Nicaea on Christian belief?

The Council forced religious leaders to adopt specific dogmas, such as the divinity of Jesus, under pressure. This political move standardized religious texts and suppressed earlier accounts that identified Jesus as a prophet of God rather than the son of God.

Abstract

The discussion emphasizes that true religion is rooted in peace, not violence, and highlights how the works of Harun Yahya demonstrate Allah's artistry in creation.
