On this rare occasion, an intellectual who calls himself an atheist and a religious scholar were seen arguing face to face in a public forum. Where Javed Akhtar gave the example of Gaza war in his arguments and said that if God is omnipresent and merciful, then how can he ignore the devastation happening there? He said that if you are omnipotent and present everywhere, then you will be in Gaza also. You must have seen children’s rags flying there. Still you want me to believe you? He sarcastically said that our Prime Minister Narendra Modi is better than him, at least he thinks about something.

Referring to religious violence, Javed Akhtar raised the question that why asking questions in the name of God is stopped? He said what kind of God is there who allows children to die from bombs? If he is present and allows all this to happen, it is better than not.

Mufti Nadvi gave this answer

Mufti Shamail Nadvi declared God innocent. Said that the cause of evil is man’s free will, not God. He said that God has created evil, but he himself is not evil. Violence, rape or other crimes are the result of human choices. He also said that science and scriptures cannot be a common criterion in the debate on the existence of God. He said that science is limited to the physical world, while God is beyond it.

Mufti Nadvi also argued that science can explain how the universe works, but not why it exists. He told Javed Akhtar that if you do not know, do not say that God does not exist.

conflict over faith vs faith

An important turning point in the debate has come on the difference between belief and faith. Javed Akhtar said that belief is based on evidence, logic and testimony, whereas faith demands acceptance without proof. He said that where there is no evidence, no logic and no witness, even if you are asked to believe, that is faith.

He warned that such thinking prevents one from asking questions. On the issue of morality, Javed Akhtar said that morality is not a system made by nature, but by humans. He said that there is no justice in nature. Morality is like traffic rules. Necessary for society, but not present in nature.

As soon as the program ended, this debate started trending on social media. Some people called Javed Akhtar’s questions courageous and necessary, while many called it an attack on religious beliefs. At the same time, Mufti Shamail Nadvi received support for her restrained and philosophical answers.
