Challenging Muslims in their own language

  1. I can't figure out how to comment there.

    I'm a big fan of learning Islamic concepts and turning it around - for example, Bi-la Kaifa and Kun Faya Kun in responding to questions about the comprehensibility of the Trinity or Incarnation.

    Dawagandists cannot dismiss the concepts since it's their own religious statements, and citing them introduces the Muslim listeners to an entire world of difficulties, conundrums, controversies, inquisitions and doubt within classical Islam itself.

    1. Hi Scott,
      I had to moderate the comment boxes within the last few years because there was a Muslim who came and just overloaded every article I wrote. It is an older article (2015) and I set the comment boxes to stop after 14 days.
      What I can do is reblog the article and it will set up a new set of comboxes.

    2. Scott,
      I reblogged the article and it sets up a new set of com-boxes.
      By the way, your point about

      learning Islamic concepts and turning it around - for example, Bi-la Kaifa and Kun Faya Kun in responding to questions about the comprehensibility of the Trinity or Incarnation.

      and your further comment, is excellent.

    3. I thought Nabeel Qureshi did a great job with Bi-la Kaifa بلا کیفا (without asking how?) in his debate on the Trinity with Shabir Ally. It was very sad when he died. He had a great demeanor, IMO.

      “KUN FAYAKUN” (كُنْ فَيَكُونُ) (Read as “kun fayakoon) is an Arabic phrase that appears in the Qur’an. It means “Be, and it is”.

      (similar to Genesis 1 - "Let there be light, and there was light".
