Being IITian doesn't necessarily equate to having Scientific temper.

E. A. Jabbar, widely known as Jabbar Mash, is an Indian rationalist, humanist, author, and speaker from Kerala. He is one of the most prominent "ex-Muslim" voices in the state and a highly visible critic of Islam and religious dogma.

​

*Background and Transition*

​

Born into an orthodox Muslim family in Malappuram, Kerala, Jabbar lost his faith while studying in the tenth grade after reading a Malayalam translation of the Quran. He noted what he perceived as inconsistencies and contradictions that could not be satisfactorily answered by his family. He began his career as a school teacher, which earned him the affectionate moniker "Mash" (a colloquial Malayalam abbreviation for "Master"). Over the years, he became a core figure in the rationalist movement in Kerala, associating with organizations like the Kerala Yukthivadi Sangham and the Ex-Muslims of Kerala collective, which provides social support to individuals who leave the religion.

​

**YouTube Channel**

​

Jabbar reaches a massive Malayalam-speaking audience through his YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@eajabbar) and his active blog. Through his videos and podcasts, he actively critiques religious texts, champions free-thinking, and frequently discusses secularism, gender justice, and scientific temper.

​

> Most notable work he does in his channel is Quran classes which goes through the entire Quran chronological order of events presenting it in an objective manner with all hadith and authenticity. There classes are primarily conducted in Malayalam. ***He is the one of the prominent people that exposed the original context behind introduction of burqua and the reason why Bilal was beaten up by the mushrik***.

​

***Debate History***

​

Jabbar Mash has an extensive history of participating in public debates. Since the early 1980s, he has actively represented the rationalist viewpoint in Kerala's debating circles. He is known for openly challenging Islamic scholars to public debates, specifically asking them to prove the scientific or divine origins of the Quran. Over the decades, his open challenges and subsequent debates with various religious figures have garnered millions of views online, establishing him as a central figure in atheist-theist dialogues in the Malayalam-speaking world.

​

***The Infamous Debate with M.M. Akbar***

​

One of his most famous and widely viewed public confrontations was dubbed "The Great Kerala Debate," which took place on January 9, 2021, in Malappuram. His opponent was M.M. Akbar, a popular Islamic scholar and the director of Niche of Truth.

​

***The Challenge***: The debate was sparked by a long-standing challenge from Jabbar: he stated that if anyone could prove the Quran contained any modern scientific knowledge that was completely unknown to the people of 7th-century Arabia, he would recite the Shahada (return to Islam) and retract all of his past criticisms.

​

***The Arguments***: During the debate, Jabbar argued that the Quran merely reflected the folklore and limited understanding of the time, citing descriptions of the cosmos and human reproduction as scientifically inaccurate. M.M. Akbar countered these points by presenting specific verses—such as those relating to deep ocean waves—which he argued perfectly aligned with modern scientific discoveries.

​

***The Aftermath***: The marathon event concluded with both factions claiming absolute victory. Rationalists and Jabbar's supporters maintained that he successfully exposed the "scientific miracles" as severe linguistic stretches and verbal contortions. Conversely, M.M. Akbar's supporters felt he thoroughly defended the faith, answered Jabbar's challenge, and proved the Quran's scientific validity. Both sides heavily circulated heavily edited clips of the debate on social media to declare their respective victories, cementing it as a landmark ideological clash in Kerala.

​

He is cunning in his debates and doesn't hold back any punches. If any mallus exmuslim are lurking here and has not been introduced to Jabbar mash, please let me do the honour.

The fan made movie of the book "Last Church"

For those familiar with the rich tapestry of Indian philosophy, the Emperor of Mankind from Warhammer 40,000 represents a radical, futuristic evolution of the Chakravartin (Universal Ruler) combined with the uncompromising materialism of the Charvaka school.

In the video provided, "The Last Church," we witness a debate between the "Apocalypse", Emperor agent and Uriah, the last priest on Earth. Here is an introduction to his philosophy through an Indian lens.

1. **The Radical Nastika (Atheist/Materialist)**

The Emperor’s "Imperial Truth" is a modern form of Charvaka (Lokayata). He rejects all notions of the supernatural, devas, or a creator. He views religion not as a path to enlightenment, but as a "canker in mankind's heart" ] and a "plague" of ignorance. He argues that faith is a "willing belief in the unbelievable without proof" and serves only to divide humanity.

2. **Dharma as "Imperial Truth"**

In Indian thought, Dharma often refers to the cosmic order or duty. The Emperor replaces traditional religious Dharma with Reason and Science. He believes that for humanity to survive the "darkness" of the galaxy, it must move past "fantastical notions" and embrace a secular unity. His goal is a "united galaxy" with Earth at its heart, governed by logic rather than myth.

3. **The Path of the Chakravartin (Universal Monarch)**

The Emperor embodies the archetype of the Chakravartin—a ruler whose "singular vision" is required to unite a fractured world . He is not a seeker of personal power in his own eyes, but a guide who has seen the "narrow path" humanity must walk to avoid extinction . Like historical Indian monarchs who sought to bring order to Bharatavarsha, the Emperor seeks to bring "Unity" to the entire galaxy.

4. **The Rejection of "Maya" (The Supernatural)**

While many Indian schools see the material world as Maya (illusion) and the divine as the ultimate reality, the Emperor flips this. To him, the "gods" and the supernatural are the dangerous illusions (Maya) that lead to bloodshed and "horror" . He believes that only by "removing religion" can society become humane and progress.
