🧠 You Will Never Convince Someone to Believe | Ustadh Hamza Tzortzis

A student of knowledge gives a lecture in a Dutch mosque. Well researched, academic answers, sources on hand. Then a small child raises his hand and asks why he should believe that Allah is the creator — and the speaker has no answer. That question runs through this entire session. Ustadh Hamza Andreas Tzortzis, founder of the Sapiens Institute, sits down with dr. Jos van Rooy, a physicist who became Muslim sixteen years ago. On the mindshift the ummah has to make, why almost nobody leaves faith because of philosophy, and why emotional intelligence is harder than any argument you have memorised. Also in here: mercy in victory and the door the Prophet ﷺ left open for Abu Sufyan on the day he won, and what is actually wrong with the "scientific miracles of the Qur'an" argument — from the man who did his PhD on it.
