I think, this was a castle in the old time, because it's very big and has a lot of paintings, and sculptures. Also the design of this building, and the perfect use of material, stones, and wood describes that this was an old castle.
Although it does look like it could be a castle, New College has actually never been a castle! Our spot on the Mound used to be home to Mary of Guise’s palace up until 1845 where it was demolished to build New College in 1846. The building, designed by William Playfair, was originally built to house the Free High Kirk congregation, eventually becoming home to us here at the School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh 😊 You can find out more about the history of New College on our exhibition website: exhibition.div.ed.ac.uk/
Dr Zakir Naik has been in the recent years one of those caught in the centre of selling that western conspiracy theories in some of his speech series though he's required by merit to at least be part of those to have a say in promoting the excellent achievements of fellow Muslims in Timbuktu but was proudly and openly making mockery of Timbuktu. I personally observed him engaging talks on Timbuktu this time not about the excellent achievements of fellow Muslims though blacks, but promoting western mockery on Africa and African Muslims. From this highlights one can tell how cruel these western puppets amongst the believers can be. It's a whole game changing therefore taking our own matter into our own hands.
قال الإمام الحافظ الذهبي تـ( سنة ٧٤٨ هـ) -رحمه الله تعالى- في كتابه سير أعلام النبلاء، (ج٢ ص١٦٨): " إن العرب إذا قالت: فلان أبيض، فإنَّهم يريدون الحنطي اللون بحليةٍ سوداء".اهــ وحلية الإنسان هي ما يُرى من لونه أو مظهره، قال ابن منظور تـ( سنة ٧١١هـ) -رحمه الله تعالى- في لسان العرب (ج٤ ص ٢١٤): " والحِلْيَةُ: الخِلْقة، والحِلْيَةُ: الصفة والصُّورة، والتَّحْلِيةُ: الوَصْف، وتَحَلاَّه: عَرَفَ صِفَته، والحلْية: تَحْلِيَتُك وجهَ الرجلِ إذا وصَفْته... ".اهــ
Yes, the Prophet ( صلى الله عليه وسلم ) was indeed a black Arab man resembling Nipsey Hussel in complexion or Haile Selassie‼️ I also saw our Prophet ( صلى الله عليه وسلم ) in a dream many years ago‼️ The word Abyadh: “European or Caucasianal white” in Arabic is not what’s intended when the old Arabs talked‼️ Rather, what they meant was: Al Hintee Al-Laun meaning - “Wheatish or peanut Complexioned” with an Hilyah ( Overtone ) of Sudaa’a ( Black or brownness ), “Lightskinned” or “Mixed” because the Arabs originate from a hot region, constantly under the sun which naturally gives them a dark tinge and tanned so their complexions range from being very dark, light brown to many shades of a brown people never pink or red people‼️ So when the Arab used the word “Black” it simply meant very dark complexion and “Abyadh” it mean light-brown or Lightskin‼️
The origin of Abyssinian Al Habasha are Arabs . Al Habasha are a tribe sons of himyar came from Yemen long before and made Al Habasha kingdom . And the Africa continent named after A yemeni Sabaens king named Afrikis son of Abraha son of Dhi Al-Manar son of Sabaens who governed Tunisia before it called Tunisia and Africa
The earth through human consciousness on the earth is the center of the cosmos. Consciousness, mind, is the cosmic center around which the cosmos revolves. Science is based on sense perception, on observation. Religion is based on the perceptions of consciousness, mind. We are still very much in a material age but are evolving out of it as we move towards the next era on an upward arc from the Dark Age in A.D. 499. Objective and subjective perception are different views of reality. The subjective is accurate.
I hope Dr. Matthew Novenson is aware of and deals with the works of biblical scholar, Hector Avalos: Slavery, Abolitionism, and the Ethics of Biblical Scholarship, Sheffield Phoenix Press, LTD. 2013. The Bad Jesus: The Ethics of New Testament Ethics, Sheffield Phoenix Press Ltd (April 9, 2015) The End of Biblical Studies, Prometheus (July 12, 2007). Dr. Avalos led a 2nd atheist wave of atheist & secular critics in the SBL.
Magnificent! So timely and important. Greatly encouraged to be watching this in Sydney where I have been concerned about just these things. Thank you and God bless you Prof. Novenson.🙏
May Allah blessed all of them love brother Mustafa the the sake of Allah as Gambian I’m so proud of him may Allah continue blessing all the brothers in Islam

I actually got accepted for london job but declined cuz I’m true north and london felt fake so I am doing masters degree at Oxford too then do p.h.d 😘 at Harvard diva x
Religion is the principle of man and the goal of life. He who does not have a religion has no beginning and no life. Look at atheists, most of whom commit suicide. The atheist and Darwinian authorities say in the book The God Delusion by Dawkins. Not all absolute rules are derived from religion, but it is difficult to defend moral values without religion... So, what did Hitler and Estallin, for example, do the secularism of throwing children into cages? You are the lunatics, and China has religions such as Taoism, Buddhism, Shintoism, Confucianism, Christianity, and Islam.
Another piont he should make is about 7 of the 12 imams mothers were africian and some described them as dark...yet 12'er tradition also has imagines showing them very light
Sound isn't so great but Bernard Carr is absolutely devine!! He is such a gentleman and his ability to speak his thoughts and his proposals is wonderful ❤🥰
As a student 74-77 this brings back many gt memories.The privilege of eating lunch with Tom Torrance,the excellence of Alec Cheyne and the helpfulness of Miss Balfour Brown etc,etc.
If you are a person of peace and love there is no way Islam will resonate with you. Every Muslim I know is corrupt and not based in reality. Islam is Satan's Vehicle to bring in the last days. They deny Jesus Christ because he was a black man. Take Care and God Bless
appreciate the comments on the New Pauline Perspective in answer to a Q at the end. I studied this in the '90s as part of a diploma. Wasn't sure why it is an issue - and didn't really grasp it all that well, so it has been helpful to hear Tom clarify.
Wallahi popular and so called leading Muslim influencers of today contribute immensely to the erasure of African rich history,for example I personally heard Zakir Naik making mockery of Timbuktu in one of his speech series, saying "you can go to Timbuktu" thus giving his proud racist role and hypothetically rushing to Africa to say he is influencing Islam and making mockery of himself, giving it clear the/his impression that in some of the dirtiest business of racist propaganda one will find a white arrogant so called Muslim being at the centre of it.
As a African American Muslim I use to study 90% of what this brother stated back in 2018 fresh out of Highschool and ppl use to swear I was a liar Alhamdulilah that the truth is finally being known
