Dr. Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips raises a few questions which we can use to judge to what degree do we know who our Lord is.
- Do you agree with those who say who say that belief is a matter of blind faith?
- If everything has a Creator then who created God?
- If God can do anything, why can't He have a son?
- If God is all-powerful, can He create a stone which is too heavy for Him to lift?
- If God is all-good and He is able to do all things then where did evil come from?
Dr. Bilal Philips will address these questions and clear the many false ideas and misconceptions many people have when it comes to their Lord.
