Excellent Excellent discussion learnt a lot sitting in Los Angeles California
The best answer…
"Well, what do you mean, a bright student..?
Came here after watch Qaiser Ahmed Raja sir who suggested your channel
Muzammil Hasan finding pearls, as usual
Plz invite Ahmad Javed Sahab as well. You will love him
This was the first podcast that truly captivated me, I delve deeper into the vast expanse of the internet. It held my fascination like nothing else before.
Great discussion
This kid is the future
Can't thank you enough for bringing such content- much needed, eye opening and intelligent
The 'facts' he is denying in counter saying its all myth about Baghdad and other mughals or islamic history, he got that 'knowledge' from the books he read.
The same 'facts' cane to knowledge due to some people have read some other books from where they reported those incidents originally.
So he wants us to believe anything written in english but we should counter check the knowledge came from other Arab or Persian books and historians?
once he will grow up, he'll be alright
People should realize that this isn't an easy subject and Muzammil has done it brilliantly by articulating the right questions from someone who's kind of master in his realm. So, hats off to him
What nonsense: tribal “justice” was and is patriarchal and based on whimsy than on precepts of civil law.
Waoooow!!!! Mind blowing. Shershah has nailed on different level.. thank you soo much Muzamil for this one..
Amazing conversation! What a fantastic guy Shershah.
How he read al razi? If he is talking about tafseer, then i tried to seqrch the translated version a lot but its only in arabic. Got to know about al razi, ibn tammiya and al ghazali through western scholars like nauman ali khan, omar suleiman, haifa yunus, yasmeen moghded. Pakistani maulvis ka scene id totally off. Al razi is banned by maulvis here. He was genious. His tafseer of quran is next level.
This was soooooo interesting i learned so many things i didn't know before. the book recommendations made me so happy. looking forward for more like these
I am so much impressed by his knowledge
He need to document his findings
Please write a book
This guy should write a book
Yes I agree pakistani teachers are arrogant
Thank God, we still have hope!
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَتُ اللهِ وَ بَرَكَتُهُ
Can we list all the books he mentioned in his interview? جَزَاكَ ٱللَّٰهُ خَيْرًا
What impresses me is the smartness of host handling this kid full flight of ideas based on mere memorization.
This dude is what we wished to become when we in our teens. May his shine never dim
Better ships + better military technology (to keep fighting the never-ending European wars) + a way better banking system made Europe a superior military power, able to finance its colonial ventures. I suggest the book "The Rise and Fall of Great Powers" by Paul Kennedy. This will definitely help us understand why the West became very powerful
AoA Dear, This boy is amazing. I truly enjoyed the whole conversation. Now I will listen again and will make note of the books he mentioned. I wish we have more people like him. Thanks Muazmil for such an informative podcast. Best regards. Fasih.
luv u hogya broo
Incredible ❤
Very informative. Thank you so much.
2 suggestions about your podcast please.
1. please if you can mention the books and authors mentioned in the conversation as subtitle as sometimes its not audible sp. If the name is of a foriegn author.
2. Please if you can lower the mic of the speaker a bit, it'll be more comfortable hearing and watching the person speaking without his/her half face hidden behind the mic.
Me jyada academic admi hi😂😂😂 really
Protect this man at all cost
I have to add here at 32:33, I was misled by the mainstream favorite Naturist worldview propagators such as Neil DeGrasse Tyson. In his speech he said that Al Ghazali was responsible of the downfall of Golden Islamic era, Later I learned after doing my research that Ghazali was just presenting his arguments. The scientific Naturist worldview has been pushed on the masses for some time now, I agree to what he said about people not being conscious about their choices and lacking any ability to entertaining a thought with critical thinking.
Yes, exactly its Intellectual Dishonesty Pseudo Intellectuals of today never tried to put any efforts in learning the Islamic thought process because they already have convinced themselves of traditionalism as regressive thinking. They make many parallels from western thinkers in the similar manner.
I can say this because I was one of it, The past three years I have been washing myself from the whitewash. Good lad, made a few things clear of the decline in intellectual discourse but he mentioned Modudi to which I absolutely agree he was one of most prominent thinker of 20th Century and served Political Islam. I am still discovering more about Islamic intellectuals and this conversation was helpful.
I agree with Muzamil observation about the winter and survival, The master of seas was the key moment the Spaniards and the Portuguese were the pioneers of colonization.
This guy is my mutual on Twitter ❤ really happy for him.
One of the reasons,from the many to fall in love with #Pakistan…#TBT #ShershahKhan….Baarak Allahu Feekum
I was this guy when I was 20ish . Read some 120 books in my 4 years of btech all non fiction . Meet Peter frankopan in Mumbai chat with him for 15 minutes. I have some 750 books Library . But soon i realised the fake arrogance it gives you without living the life is dangerous so now I balance live my life , do actions, travel and also read books . Don't just read books or you will sound very smart , people will consider you one but still you will be shallow . Experience and take actions.
Like/vote for debate: Muzamil Shah vs Sher Shah.
This was the kind of episode which I have always wanted in TBT. Very academic, abstract and intellectual discussions, away from the nitty-gritty of the current affairs. It was extremely enlightening and insightful, as it did bust that Al-Ghazali myth for me (that he was against math etc.). Thank you for doing this, Muzammil!❤
