Hamza Tzortzis: The Divine Reality & Understanding Islam

Hamza Tzortzis is an international speaker, writer and instructor. He has a PgCert and an MA in philosophy and is currently continuing his postgraduate studies in the field. Hamza has studied Islamic thought and theology under qualified scholars. In Hamza's 2016 book 'The Divine Reality', he provides a compelling case for the rational and spiritual foundations of Islam, whilst intelligently and compassionately deconstructing atheism. In this conversation, we discuss various topics to do with Islam and philosophy such as Atheism, Science, Rationality, Islamic law, Prophet Muhammad, and Hamza's own intellectual and public journey as an advocate of Islam. It was my utmost pleasure to talk to Hamza, and I profoundly look forward to future conversations with him. If you have any suggestions on topics we could elaborate on or any new subjects you believe would be interesting for us to discuss, let me know by commenting below. I look forward to reading your contributions to the ideas we cover, thanks for watching.
