Abdur-Raheem Green - Do People Need Religion in our Society?

About this lecture

In this thought-provoking lecture, Abdur-Raheem Green argues that human intellect alone cannot answer life's most fundamental questions — the existence of God, the purpose of life, and what lies beyond death — and that divine revelation through the Prophets is the only path to true certainty. Using the analogy of a closed door, he systematically examines the competing claims of religion and atheism, applies C.S. Lewis's "liar, lunatic, or lord" framework to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and presents the story of the solar eclipse as a compelling proof of prophetic truthfulness. He concludes that not only does modern society desperately need religion as a moral anchor, but that Islam, grounded in rational conviction, is uniquely positioned to provide it.
