Jason Clark7
This post is my direct response to the one below—it’s the exact same situation Brenda Cook4 already pointed out.
Golden Boy Jason Clark7 said:I get it. This guy is claiming the Moon shrunk recently—give or take. He says those cracks could be hundreds of millions of years old, or maybe they’re much younger. Honestly, he doesn't actually know when it happened—and how could he? The Moon isn't exactly talking to us.
It’s pretty crucial that the hadith describing this event actually has some scientific backing—you know, some sort of foundation. Scientists have apparently discovered a massive rift on the Moon that could have been caused by it splitting apart. Whether you buy into that or not is entirely up to you—honestly, I don't lose any sleep over it.
It’s pretty obvious that some Muslims—in this case, Golden Boy—think that "the beauty of Islam" includes the scientific nature of the Quran. So, by that logic, my post isn't off-topic at all.
Look, regarding your little insinuation that I’m making fun of Islam—that just isn't the case. Unless, of course, you actually think that what Tarik—your own brother in faith—is doing is a mockery of reason. If we can even agree on that. To back me up, here’s another Muslim weighing in on the exact same topic:
Shady Jason Clark7 said:It makes zero sense, man. We're dealing with a straight-up liar. He’s pulling the exact same stunts you see from that lunatic, Miroljub Petrović—same garbage, just wearing a different hat.
Harun Jahja—his real name is Adnan, by the way—was supposedly a Christian before he "converted." As a convert, he basically had a front-row seat to spread all sorts of nonsense under the guise of Islam—stuff that isn't even part of the faith, let alone actually going against it.
His biggest trick? He just swipes footage from famous science documentaries—think Discovery Channel specials on marine life, stratospheric flight, the solar system, or even the properties of water—strips out the original narration, and overlays some text about the "wonders of Islam" onto the raw video. It’s incredibly shady, especially since he’s completely ignoring any actual scientific principles.
Take his half-baked, fanatic crusade against evolution and Charles Darwin—acting like he’s doing it all "in the name of Islam." It honestly makes Muslims look backwards and uninformed, which is ridiculous considering how much they actually contributed to evolutionary thought. I mean, you've got guys like al-Jahiz (the real deal: Abu Uthman Amr ibn Bahr al-Kinani al-Fuqaimi al-Basri) and later Ibn Khaldun (Abu Zaid 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhamed ibn Khaldun al-Hadrami)—these massive scientific minds who were writing about evolutionary concepts centuries before Darwin even showed up. Darwin actually came across their work through Beacon. By engaging in this pseudo-scientific nonsense, Harun Jahja is basically dragging us back over a thousand years—way further back than when our actual great scholars were living. My most serious recommendation? Don't take anything coming from him seriously. At all.
What Americans in the Muslim community need right now is actual, rigorous scientific education—the kind you get from legitimate authorities, real textbooks, and accredited institutions. We don't need more half-baked info from those random internet gurus operating entirely outside the community framework—people with zero academic credentials, no degrees, and absolutely no qualifications to be lecturing anyone on science.
What charlatans like Harun Jahja and Miroljub Petrović are pulling is exactly like me—someone without a single day of medical school under my belt—suddenly deciding I’m a surgeon and having patients actually show up at my door. Honestly, how successful do you think I'd be? And what are their chances of surviving my scalpel? Just so we're clear—that's about the same chance any Muslim has of actually learning anything from that idiot.
That’s all I’ve got. Sorry if I rambled—it just hits me hard when young people, actually looking for the truth, fall for these spiritual grifters and end up just tearing themselves down. Peace.
