This video presents a debate between a Christian apologist and Ali Dawa about the nature of Allah, examining whether Allah is a physical being or a spirit. The Christian argues that since the Bible describes God as spirit (John 4:24) and Jesus stated that spirits do not have flesh and bones (Luke 24:39), Allah cannot be physical. Ali Dawa counters that the Quran describes Allah with physical attributes like hands and an outstretched arm, and that Allah is unlike anything in creation. The debate highlights the theological challenge of understanding Allah's nature, as Muslims are instructed to say 'there is nothing like Him' without definitively stating whether Allah is spirit or physical.

Ali Dawah CAUSED A WAVE OF EX-MUSLIMS When He Said THIS About HIS GOD...Added:
Turns out that Ali Dawa found out that in the Bible, God is described as having his outstretched arm and things like that. And Ali Ali Dawa's mind was blown at the hypocrisy of Christians on this issue. Here we are criticizing Allah for actually being a physical being. And yet God right there in the Bible said to have his outstretched arm. So we're going to check it out. Here we go.
>> Go and ask your God. GO AND ASK HIM.
PRAY TO YOUR GOD AND ASK HIM WHAT IS THE TRUTH.
>> THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. I'M NOT here to convince you.
>> Well, we can tell you what he doesn't have. He doesn't have two right hands.
He doesn't have a foot that's in hell.
He doesn't have a face.
>> He doesn't have woolly hair.
>> He doesn't have more than one eye. He He has described God. We can do We can tell you what he's not like.
>> We can tell you what he's not like.
>> Does your foot have a head down?
>> Huh? Does your foot have a head?
>> In what?
>> God. Your >> Does he have what? for hands.
>> Well, in in what way?
>> GIVE ME THE RIGHT WAY. LOOK AT >> ARE YOU ARE YOU ASKING HIS ARE YOU ASKING about his incarnation?
>> Brother, I'm trying to talk to you.
>> You realize I'm about to >> Hey, brother. I'm trying to talk to you.
Are you asking about his incarnation?
>> Are you asking about his incarnation?
>> Yeah. Are you asking? Oh, the father.
Yeah. The father doesn't have hands. No.
No, he does not. He's immaterial. All right. Now, let me ask you now. Does your God have hands?
>> He has.
>> He has hands. Does he Does he have a foot? He has a shin.
>> HE HAS A SHIN.
>> He has a shin.
>> He has a shin.
>> Jesus.
>> So your God sounds like me.
>> Your God sounds like me.
>> He has a shin.
>> Jesus.
>> So your God sounds like me.
>> Your God sounds like me.
>> Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your GREAT POWER AND OUTSTRETCHES.
>> OH, so I just told you what THAT IS.
HUH?
OH, SO GOD'S POWER is his outstretched arm. Amazing.
>> Doesn't go. What did he say?
>> No, he doesn't. Not a real not an arm like Allah. Not like two arms like Allah. God. How is it? How is your God's arm? It's his power. His power.
>> Yes.
>> So in Psalm 19, it says, "The heavens declare the glory of God and the skies proclaim the work of his hands."
That's a poetic text. As I read that as a Christian, it didn't even dawn on me that it meant God literally had hands.
But as I'm reading the Quran, I kept coming across the story of Allah telling the angels to prostrate to Adam. Allah rebukes him and then he says, "Why did you refuse to bow down to the one that I made with my hands?" Now, the Arabic is actually more emphatic here than some translations. It it says my two hands.
So if his two hands are just a metaphor for his power, then Satan and the angels should bow down to the sun because it was made with Allah's two hands. It has to be singling out Adam from everything else as that which Allah made with his two hands.
>> Where did you bring this? From the verse.
>> The verse said, hold on. Point to me.
The verse said that God's power is his outstretched arm. What are we doing?
>> Power before POWER AND STRETCHED ARMS.
>> HE SPEAK ENGLISH. SO power and his outstretched arms.
>> It says power and outstretched arms. It says it then says it again. It says it and it says it again in a different way.
It says it and it says it again in a different way.
>> It's trying to say the arm is power.
>> Yes. His arm is his power. Yes. His arm is his power.
>> If you guys notice when he gets pulled out ignorance his arm is his power. HEY, COME DEAL WITH ME IF I'M IGNORANT. Don't Don't sit down. COME DEAL WITH ME. NO.
That's what I thought. I told you.
That's what I thought. I told you because it's too easy, brother. It's too easy. Me and you are equals.
>> No. No. No. You're not. You're not even equal TO MY BODYGUARD. MY BODYGUARD COOKED you last time. Should I follow the scripture?
>> No. Now my turn.
>> Is it my turn?
>> Hey, Ali. Is it my turn?
>> Is it Is it my turn?
>> All right. Now, watch this. Now, I'm I'm about to show you something. I'm about to show you something that your God cannot show you. Watch this. This is John 4. This is what it says. But an hour is coming and now is when the true worshippers will worship the father in spirit and in truth. They worship the father.
>> For such for such people the father seeks to be his worshippers. God is spirit.
>> God is spirit, right? Do spirits have arms.
>> Ali, do spirits have arms? Be real with me.
>> Says yes.
>> Be real with me.
>> Ali says yes. According to the creat I'm created IN ALLAH'S IMAGE ACCORDING TO so bukkari says that we are made in the image OF ALLAH SO DOES ALLAH HAVE A FACE LIKE ME perfect >> no no let HIM ANSWER >> I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT'S debating this clown while doing a thumbnail and I'm releasing a video >> so watch this guys so so listen ladies and gentlemen so so he says that God has arms I already told him that God is spirit this is what our Bible says right now watch this he didn't know he he He knows how to answer. He says he knows that spirits do not have a physical physical body parts. They're immaterial.
Now all he knows that. So when I show him, it says that God is spirit. So what does it mean when God has an armor? What does it mean that God has his power? It means that God showcases his power, his authority. But in Islam, they don't have this distinction because they don't know if Allah is a spirit or not. They don't know if Allah is immaterial. They don't know if Allah is physical. We know that Allah that our God the father is spirit.
So he doesn't have literal hands. He doesn't have literal arms. But their God does. They can't they can't compete with this. So my question to you is is Allah spirit or is he physical?
>> Answer the question. Now answer in our faith in in our relationship.
>> Is he spirit or is he physical?
>> We say we say meaning there is nothing like Allah. Now in religion there is nothing like unto him. I What does that mean? For for example, I'll try to clarify. Okay. Talk to you. Does Allah have hands?
>> Waiting for his majesty. Yes.
>> Right. And we have hands, right?
>> Yes. The same hands.
>> Exactly. I got you.
>> Does the hand have a hand? Is it the same hand?
>> Not not as ours. One question. So, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. One second. Bro, you exist.
>> I I one second.
>> I'm going to I'm going to be quiet. I'm going to be quiet. I exist. I have hands. God exists.
>> I God exists. Are we similar, Tom? Are we similar?
>> No. GOOD. GOOD. PERFECT. This is the crux of the matter. Did you hear that?
You exist.
>> I exist. Does Allah exist?
>> Does God exist?
>> Yes.
>> So, are we So, is it >> Let me answer you and I'm going to ask you a point after this. So, it's not the same existence, but but are we similar in that we both exist?
>> Yeah, that's the point.
>> Okay. So, we do have a similarity to Allah.
>> It's not the same.
>> OKAY. SO, WE HAVE >> HAS A HAND, I HAVE THE HAND, but it's not the way that >> I got you. So, we are similar to Allah, but not in every way. Right.
>> Become a sin if you want. Ollie, just just answer. So, we have similarities to Allah in that we have we exist. Mercy.
>> What? Drake?
>> Yeah. I didn't realize you were.
>> You just noticed. You just noticed Drake, man. Drake's been there the entire time.
>> He But I didn't. His head's shaved. And last time I saw him, he didn't he didn't have a shaved head >> and didn't have the gayest shirt I've ever seen in my life on.
>> Yeah, that that's the other thing.
But it's not the same. Okay. So, >> so Allah is perfect to us. It's not.
>> Got it. So, we are like Allah, but we're not perfect like Allah.
>> No, we're not like Allah.
>> I'm confused.
>> We have Look, you're not confused. You admitted it. We exist. Allah exist.
>> So, we're like Allah that we exist.
>> For example, you exist. The father exists.
>> Is it exist?
>> So, am I like the father that I exist?
>> No, you got your share existence, but your existence come to an end, but he doesn't.
>> Sure.
>> Good. SO, >> PAUSE THERE. PAUSE HERE. PAUSE HERE. So just like how Allah exists, he exists, I exist, >> I don't exist the same way Allah exists, but we are similar in that we exist, right?
>> Yes. Existence.
>> So So in existence, we are alike.
>> Yes.
>> He just admitted it. So he goes in exi as far as existence is concerned, we're alike and that we both exist. Yes. Okay.
So there you can be like Allah in certain ways. He got him to admit the bare minimum at least in terms of existence. Right?
>> So we are like Allah in certain instances. Correct.
>> In this context existence is what we share.
>> For sure and we share but it's not the same thing.
>> I got you. So so what you're saying is is that we're like Allah in one way but we're not like Allah in another way. Is that correct?
>> Am I speaking English?
>> I'm not speaking English. It's a waste of time. Ali's a waste of time.
>> Oh no.
Now he doesn't want you to talk to me.
Chef >> now he doesn't want you to talk to me.
Ali listen to him. Listen to him. Listen to him. This guy need to meet please.
>> This guy is not.
>> So watch this. Jesus says >> in Luke 24 and he said to them, "Why are you troubled and why do doubts arise in your hearts? See my hands." You listening.
>> You have stuff to do.
>> Are you listening?
>> Yeah. I'm >> okay. He says, "See my hands.
>> See my feet that it is I myself." He says, "Touch me and see." He says, "For a spirit does not have flesh and bones and bones >> as you see that I have."
>> Jesus is.
>> Okay? Jesus is.
>> So watch this.
>> You guys, you guys catching this? So he's connecting it and they got diverted for a little bit, but earlier he showed that Jesus said that God is spirit. And now he's pointing out that Jesus also says a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones.
So a spirit, it doesn't have physical body parts.
>> Slow down.
>> So Jesus just made it clear. Spirits don't have bodies. Right? So if God the Father is spirit, then God the Father does not have a physical body. Now here's my question to you.
>> Is Allah a spirit or is he a physical being?
>> Listen, listen. We are careful to what we say about Allah.
>> We don't just willy-nilly he's this, he's a man, he we're very careful. You know why? cuz we're not irresponsible like you guys and do blasphemy. Jesus is that we're very careful to what we say about Allah. You know why? Cuz we take our religion seriously. So what's the answer?
>> We don't say Allah is a spirit or phys.
We don't do that.
>> So which is basically there is nothing like him.
>> WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? BRO, YOU'RE TELLING ME ALLAH IS NOTHING. SO Allah is not spirit. He's not physical. So what the hell is he?
>> He got me.
>> What is that?
>> What is that? He was Ali. There's nothing like Oh, thank you. I appreciate it.
>> Oh, no, no, I get it. So, Ali Dawa is saying, "There's nothing like Allah."
And the guy, the guy goes, "There's nothing like you, Ali Dawa."
So, Allah is like Ali Dawa in that there's nothing like either one of them.
>> My wife, my wife says that to me. My wife said that every day. There's nothing like on board.
>> I said, "You're down right."
>> He brought it up. He said on the whiteboard now.
>> So, what is he now? We said very clearly what Allah says in the Quran. He affirmed that for himself I don't make stuff in my mind. So I look at the Quran. The Quran says Allah says in English say I'm translating is coming. Be patient. Say he is one.
>> One one what?
>> See look the basic questions destroy your one is >> Allah is one. One one what? One God. One person one entity. What is he?
>> How many fingers? He said, "How many fingers?"
>> HOW MANY FINGERS?
>> SO WHAT IS ALLAH?
>> What is Allah?
>> Look, look. HOW MANY FINGERS?
>> ALLAH.
>> We got what is the Quran? What is >> say Allah? What's Allah?
>> Look, check this out. Allah is self-sufficient.
>> He does not begget nor is he begotten.
>> And there is nothing like unto him.
>> What does that mean? Cuz you just said we're like Allah.
>> What do you want to know?
>> You got no more. I'm speaking English.
English. I'm not speaking Turkish.
>> He said we're like Allah. in one way, BUT WE'RE NOT LIKE ALLAH in another way.
So, in what way are we not like Allah?
>> Again, you believe God is a man and a fully man.
>> What is Allah, Ali? What is Allah? What is he?
>> You don't know. Huh? See? Hey, look. And here's the problem.
>> Muslims don't know what Allah is. But look, they go, they go to the Quran.
Just one second. Look, in the Christian God, he tells us that God is spirit. So, we know that our God is immaterial. He doesn't. He can't tell us if his God is immaterial. He can't tell us if he's spirit. Check this out.
>> So what is the check out? Watch this.
Now watch this. Now he's going to need the father. Watch now. Watch this. Now is he spirit?
>> Huh?
>> Is he spirit?
>> We already answered that. What is Allah?
>> GOOD. GOOD. GOOD. I SAID TO YOU. I SAID to you. There was nothing like him.
>> No. No. That's not answer.
>> We don't know.
>> Thank you. There it is. We don't know.
Spirit. Spirit.
>> I promise you I'll promise you I'll do one second. MOSES SAW HIS BACKSIDE.
>> I promise you I'll deal with you.
>> Moses saw his back. What did he see?
>> She knows.
There's another distraction. I love a distraction. It's a distraction. I love A DISTRACTION.
JESUS.
>> He He's trying to start up a discussion with other people.
>> I love Jesus.
>> It's a distraction.
>> When I asked him, look, he's trying.
>> He crapped himself.
>> When I asked him, when I asked him, "What is Allah?" He said, "I don't know."
>> We don't know. Oh, we even better. So, Muslims as a people, as a um they don't know what the heck their God is. So, therefore, how can you even tell me who God is when you don't know what he is?
That's >> this is now it's reminding me of like Paul in Acts 17, the God you don't know, I'm here to proclaim to you.
>> Don't know. We don't know. Oh, we even better. So Muslims as a people, as a um they don't know what the heck their God is.
>> So therefore, how can you even tell me who God is when you don't know what he is?
>> Can can a woman can women give dawa?
>> Oh, yes.
>> Okay, that's a good top. That's a hot topic right now.
>> He's my brother. I love my brother.
>> Look at that. He even has a typo on it.
Can woman give da?
Ali dawa. You need to It needs to either be can a woman give da or can women be give da. Not can woman give unless you're just talking about like woman like the nature of woman. Can woman give nature like can man do this?
Interesting. But yeah, >> they can't really hear you cuz the microphone >> they don't need to.
>> Okay.
>> So he's saying he's he's saying that you know Muslim is a brother of his but he made a mistake. Is that right?
>> No, he made a mistake. He hasn't.
>> Okay. So, so just to be clear, is he saying that it is okay for women to go and do da'a?
>> He believes they can't.
>> I believe they can.
>> So, you guys disagree?
>> Yeah, we disagree, but we're not disagreeing on who God is.
>> Yeah, I bet you do.
>> Okay. So, Anthony, you probably haven't been following the latest DA drama, but you have these um >> this new generation of young Tik Tok Muslim girls giving da but they're like debating like guys and then it's a question of and you have all these objections like um one are women even allowed to be uh giving da um are they allowed to do that sort of thing on social media where people can hear their voices and so on. are they allowed to be interacting with non-Muslim men in these discussions? Uh then you have objections to how they behave. They're like pretty uh pretty foul-mouthed. Um sometimes they give Sam a run for his money. Um, so you have all these all these kinds of issues and then um like the added issue of the example that they're setting for the younger generation of Muslim girls who were on TikTok and they're watching these uh Muslim ladies give da and you have these shakes and Muslim leaders even the grand muty of Saudi Arabia said women can't be doing this and the women on the Tik Tok da girls are like you can't tell us what to do. And so they think this is this is uh setting a really really bad example and it's going to ruin their control. So you had Muslim lantern, he jumps in there and says, "No, these women shouldn't be doing this." And uh then you have Ali Daw and Muhammad Jab saying, "No, it's very good. We want them. They have to go and recruit other women cuz revert revert sisters take it best." It's a that's an actual quote from Muhammad Ajab. Revert sisters take it best. Um >> I do remember hearing Shik Assam comment on this. I forgot the term that he used, but it was something to the effect of they're crossing some kind of feminine barrier or he was talking about, you know, the veil obviously screens off the appearance, but when they're talking, they're also somehow transgressing the intent behind this sort of thing. He used some term.
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He even Yeah. It was almost like the like the the spirit of the ruling. Um yeah, I forget what he said too. Yeah, I saw that. Um but yeah, so it was uh >> yeah, you're technically wearing the nikab, but you're you're it's like you're missing the point of the nab um by how you're acting and so on. So anyway, yeah, there's uh there's da wars erupting over this. People are taking sides and uh Ali Dawa Ali Dawa just said, "Okay, we may disagree on this year, but we don't disagree on Allah."
He's acting like they don't disagree on Allah.
>> In fact, speaking of veils, according to the Islamic sources, Allah is screened off by a veil.
>> A and he should be >> Allah wears a nikab.
>> Yeah. And he should because um as we found out from these Tik Tok uh Muslims, Allah can actually well Allah can actually be described as mother. can be called mother because uh he could be described that way metaphorically. He could be described metaphorically according to the Bible um that way but father got abrogated with the Quran and therefore Allah can only be described as mother and that's why he has to go around wearing a uh a lovely uh lovely nab.
>> All right, let's see. Come on, stand up like a man. Alidawa, >> I bet you you do. If if I asked you who if I asked you what Jahi was and I asked him, y'all would give different answers.
Do you see the difference between us?
You will you would have a ideology about theology.
>> Yes. You be on theology in the sense where God Jesus the son of God is. How many essence? How many persons?
>> Yeah. You you guys will disagree about it.
>> Did he say how many essences? There's one. The problem is the Quran is a final message.
>> That's not true at all.
>> It depends on it depends. It depends on what Muslim you have.
>> He's eternally generated. Yes. Is he the only true? depends on what Muslim you are.
>> No, he doesn't know >> cuz and some some Muslims some Muslims Allah's above the throne. Other Muslims he's on the throne. Other Muslims he's around the throne.
>> Allah is Allah. Look look. Come on guys.
>> You don't know who he is.
>> You some of you guys think he's like the some of you guys don't think he's like the guys. Catch that right there. He said you don't know who Allah is. You don't know who Allah is. That sounds like that sounds like he's just, you know, tossing tossing out an insult. By the end of this, it's been fully proven.
Ali Dawa can't say whether Allah is spirit, whether he's physical and you have no idea what Allah is. You can't even say it. And uh so anyway, he said it here at the beginning and then uh and then it gets amply proven.
>> Like for example, you you you think that Muslims will give be confused about Allah with the job.
>> I'm doing a thumbnail and to me that's good. To me it shows how unimportant it is. I'm doing a phone.
>> It's so it's so unimportant I'm doing a phone without making a video about can women do that >> thumbnail and I'm debating. No, notice notice this is a question with Ali Dawa.
It's about can women do da'a? That's what they're debating about. They don't know. Can women spread the truth?
>> And in Islam, it's a question.
>> When it comes to debate, >> we have faith. Not with them. Is he the son of God? Is he a part of God?
>> In Islam, they're questioning whether women can go out and spread the truth.
In Christianity, you can go out and preach.
>> I AM ONE OF THOSE WOMEN.
>> There we go. Surah 34 says, "A deceive and Allah de is the best of deceivers." Wow.
>> I am one of those women.
>> See, this is one of these women that can go out and spread the truth.
>> Jesus Christ. And as long, they want you to shut up.
>> Yes.
Go and ask your God. GO AND ASK HIM.
>> He can't hear them.
>> Don't believe me. They're >> that that image is is killing me. So you've got Ali Dawa and his shake sitting there and then back of them almost like them projected onto the screen, you know, a couple of women with uh mouths wide open. I I don't know. Is that supposed to be their their shadow cast on the screen or is it supposed to present a contrast between their view of women? and they're supposed to shut up, but there's these women right behind them like they're laughing at them or something.
>> Yeah. Or maybe it is. Maybe maybe Alida was like, "You y you got to support the women and all they're talking and stuff and uh giving the presentation so let's go set up in front of the cabaret sign so they know we support them." Something like that. Um but h wow this is
