Zahabi defines truth as something that is true in principle, while also noting that there can be truths that are contingent, meaning that they are dependent on future events. Zahabi goes on to discuss the concept of inductive reasoning, which is the process of drawing general conclusions from specific observations. He points out that while inductive reasoning is helpful in the field of mathematics and biology, it can be problematic when it comes to applying it to other fields, such as the study of the Quran. Finally, Zahabi addresses the issue of certainty, discussing the fact that while one truth may be more certain than another, there is no absolute certainty in the world.

00:40:00 The video discusses the idea of truth, and how it cannot be proven to be anything physical. It then introduces the thought experiment of a robotic Paul that follows and studies its human creator, recording what happens 99 out of 100 times. The presenter argues that thought experiments are a better way of arguing than logical arguments, and that robotic Paul is a better example of this than a human Paul.
00:45:00 This video explains that, just like humans, robots have subjective experiences, and that when a powerful lightning strike occurs, a robot like Paul 2.0 would experience fear and hope.
00:50:00 In this video, ventriloquist act performer Firas Zahabi discusses the difference between robots and humans, arguing that while robots can be made to mimic human behavior, humans have direct experience of their own consciousness. He goes on to say that while humans can use logic and scientific experimentation to understand aspects of the world, they cannot understand ultimate reality--that is, God--through these means. Zahabi argues that this is why Allah--who is beyond logic and science--points us to a primary way of knowing Him, through intuition.

The knife has the same essence as a knife in reality, which is a piece of metal with a blade. If the knife is melted down and turned into a fork, its essence has been lost and it is no longer a knife. The same is true for all concepts in the mind - they are subjective and can change over time. The concept of truth is ultimately unchangeable and certain, as it is an objective reality that is shared by all humans.

02:15:00 According to Firas Zahabi, all we can be certain of is that there is a seen world, an observed world, and an unseen world. The muslim philosophers went beyond logic and said that we can be certain of this because we have direct experience of it. Schopenhauer almost reached mysticism but didn't quite, and it had a lot to do with the byproduct of their time. The scientists in the west hate their religion, but their forefathers were also mystics. Every road leads back to God, and even the pagans came first. There is no metaphor to Allah, he is only pure truth.
