Many Muslim influencers including AMWA have got amazing turning points in their life and many of them always regret losing their first half. Was that the driving force behind his growth at the personal level and in preaching Islam? Did he regret the first half of his life going to waste? 2. Who Is Maulana Zingi Bingi in taka tuku and Zigi zigy hahaha, funny moment! But it was connected to his judging criteria ex: Knowing Arabic, knowledge, and sciences like Eschatology. 3. Regarding his framework, what exactly should we look into in refutations? 4. If Ahmed Deedat is known for his aggressive approach, in Da'wah, AMWA is known for his aggressiveness in refutation. What if tomorrow he realizes that he should have taken a different approach (maybe a softer one) wouldn’t be regretting his earlier stance? Because a lot of damage would have already been done. 5. Usually aggressiveness is a kinda mask to show fake masculinity. That's why discussed more masculinity. Just like feminism, men have masculinity issues - "Be A Real Man" kinda thing.
