He highlights that at the quantum level, particles appear spontaneously without a cause, which some scientists argue means the universe could also have emerged without a cause—similar to the Big Bang, when the entire universe was compressed into an extremely small space. Shaykh Hamza presents two responses to this claim: A scientific rebuttal (like the one used in the Kalam cosmological argument) argues that quantum particles do not truly come from "nothing" but from a quantum vacuum with energy, meaning they still have a prior cause. A simpler, theological response (rooted in Islamic scholarship) asserts that quantum events actually strengthen the case for God. Since these particles begin to exist without a natural cause, their existence points to a necessary being (God) who sustains creation. He emphasizes that rejecting causation (as some atheist scientists do) undermines science itself, as science is fundamentally about seeking causes. Instead, recognizing divine action in quantum events and the Big Bang provides a clearer, more rational explanation for existence. Finally, Shaykh Hamza invites viewers to explore his "Why Islam is True" course, which offers structured learning on rational Islamic arguments, addressing modern challenges like evolution, the problem of evil, and more. The course is part of a broader 4-year seminary curriculum designed to equip Muslims with traditional knowledge applied to contemporary contexts. Key Takeaways: Quantum physics does not disprove God; rather, it highlights divine creation. The Kalam argument remains valid, as quantum particles still depend on prior conditions (energy, laws of physics). Atheistic interpretations of quantum mechanics lead to irrationality, while the Islamic perspective provides coherence. Shaykh Hamza’s course offers a systematic way to learn and defend Islamic truths using rational and Quranic evidence. For more details, visit: www.whyislamistrue.com/course.
