Can Quran Be Wrong | Hashir Irshad | Hassan Ilyas | Episode 66

In this podacst, I sat down with Hassan Ilyas, head of the Ghamidi Center USA and the most trusted voice for Javed Ahmad Ghamidi's thought, and we discussed the most critical questions. If the Quran is perfect, is there any room left for critical thought, or has that door already been closed before the conversation even starts? And if it isn't closed, does that mean the Quran could actually be wrong? Then we move to even harder grounds. Why did the doctrine of naskh, abrogation that critics say undermines the Quran's own claim to perfection, survive unquestioned for centuries? Can language itself, an imperfect human tool by Derrida's logic, ever carry a flawless divine message without distortion? And if metaphysical claims cannot be proven by science, what exactly separates faith from assumption? This is a serious cross-examination. I asked the questions people are told not to ask, and I wanted real answers, not more theology dressed up as an answer. Do you think Hassan Ilyas actually answered these questions, or did he find a way around them? Let me know in the comments.
