I am Jew because I love Moses & Torah, I am Christian because I love Yeshua & his mother, and I am Muslim because I love and respect Mohammed & all prophets.
This is learning time. It is not time to like or hate what is said. Because there is no right or wrong when learning if you are open minded. This is the kind of videos that improves my English. Love it Thank you
LMAO I love how based Reza is.He seems to get equal share of hate from muslims,christians and atheists for his views on religion.TBH the muslim world needs more people like Professor Aslan and less people like 'Dr' Naik.
U don't know what you are talking about because he was saying what you want to hear doesn't mean that he is on the right track, but yet still it's ur opinion
Can’t we be nice to each other without religion? Religion seems to me to complicate human relations specially so when it becomes the basis for political conviction.
islam is a man made religion copied from various pagan belief and mostly from judeo/christian faith...the only problem is that mohammed and his followers distorted the teachings, it is upside down...example, Jesus said, "love your enemies", but mohammed called to behead the infidels... Jesus said, do not commit adultery, and He said whoever look at a woman with lust is already committing adultery in his heart... yet mohammed said you can have 4 wives... mohammed even have 9 wives and several women as prize in every place he conquered... the bible teaches that the satan is the deceiver yet quran teaches that allah is the great deceiver.... Jesus also said all the laws of Moses are summed up in two, "love God above all and love your neighbor as yourself", yet the quran says Jews and Christians were dogs and pigs.... and the bible says do not kill yet the quran is asking to murder those who do not want to believe in Islam....
Ah. I love the guy. He is very smart and learned, but he has some holes in his knowledge when it comes to at least Islam. But bigger issue is that he is prisoner of intellectualism. He must say same for one idea that he says about others and he must see every thing through the lens of his discipline that he is married to. Which is “histirical of religion”. Means I believe in what I can physically prove now after 1400 years, 2000 years, or 3500 years. But I can still listen to him gladly and without an iota of anger since I understand where he is coming from.
I don't think Reza understands the Jewish viewpoint of Jesus. Generally, he is not viewed as the "Martin Luther" of Judaism. He is viewed in different ways by different views. Some extremists view him as a man who will "burn in hell" forever (for the "2000" years of what xtians have done to people) to the more mild who view him as you say, "the Martin Luther of Judaism." There really is no "official Judaism" view of him. It is my opinion, that in taking the NT at face value (which cannot be taken because it has been modified so many times since it's authorships), the man was considered a prophet by the normative Jews of his time who were mostly Pharisaic and therefore an opposing force to the Sadduceean power which ran the Temple with the Romans. (The Sadducees were the majority sect in control of the Sanhedrian and were the illegitimate priests controlling the Temple [in contradiction to Torah which said only descendents of Aaron can be priests]). The Sadducees thus "met in secret" to plan Jesus's demise "because they feared the (Pharisaic) Jews." Jesus founded a Hassidic view of Orthodox Pharisaic Judaism (Matt. 23:2-3) dedicated to Torah observance. This was all changed by the radical Paul, who, from the start, hated Torah observance (thus could not really be a Pharisee as he claimed), hated the sect founded by Jesus (thus murdering them against Torah instruction) and later deciding to "become" one of them so he can change their beliefs and practices from the inside (of the sect), thus destroying the Jesus sect and creating Xtianity as we know it today (modified even more by the Church when it was incepted at the council of Nicea. This was successful because the Church decided to "have nothing to do with the hostile rabble of the Jews." Xtianity today hates Torah (against Jesus's teachings [Matt. 5:18-19, Matt. 7:21-23, emph. v.23{Lawlessness, not lawlessness}]) and in fact, Xtians today follow ("do") Paul, not Jesus. Jesus is only a figure, a symbol to them.
It is not an issue that "one rabbi has no authority over another rabbi." The has been an "transfer of authority" since Moses. "Moses gave smicha to Joshua, Joshua to, etc." (read Pirke Avot) Only today's rabbis that have received this"smicha" are authoratative according to Judaism. Of course there are many who claim to be "rabbis" but none have true authority unless they have smicha. (For example, no Reform rabbi has received smicha.) Thus only a rabbi who has smicha is over a rabbi not having smicha. The problem lies is the claim of Reform Jews that an Orthodox rabbi cannot possibly have smicha which I believe (due to my own research) is not true.
Reza says that the term Muslim was coined long after the death of the Prophet (sws). This is incorrect. The term appears several times in the Quran and hadeeth.
I can't say for sure whether the term Muslim is is there in Quran or not. But I can say for sure that the word Islam is there where Allah suhanahu wa taala said that I have completed your Deen for you and chose islam as a Deen for you. I think Reza has his concept clear because in Quran Allah has addressed the people sometimes by calling them " ya ayuhallazina aamanu" o people who have become momin, and next He addressed "ya ayuhannasu" means o people (in general).
@@abdullahkhan-mb1qw Yes, Islam as a deen. What is the translation of Islam? Peaceful submission (or some rendetion of such). So the meaning is that "I have completed your faith system for you and chose peacful submission as your system of faith." Islam does not appear here as a title, it's a descriptor. Titling the ummah as Muslims or adherants to Islam was not found in early writings. Islam adoppted the meaning you think of it today later. Which doesn't mean Islam today is an innovation, but that the term itself took a new form.
Sure, but most religious people insist that when they die, they go to some sort of heaven. OK, living with God for the next 500 years in Heaven, VERY cool ! But, for the next 500 BILLION years? What are you gonna be DOING ? Checkers? Tennis? Watching a ball game on TV? Game of Thrones re-runs? Jon Snow is cool, but watching him 100 million times ? It just doesn't compute. Does it EVER end ? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE DOING FOR 500 BILLION YEARS ? If you can't answer this question, then you're just not really thinking it through.
@ Linda Cianchetti, Because he is a scholar of Religions, I am shocked that you asked such question & I had to explain that to you. on second thought, go back to watching Fox news and worships the morbidly obese orange tramp.
Its amaising how ppl choose between christianity and islam and donot even consider judaism, indeed not many think it can be a way , choosing judaism .......the oldest, the roots the mother of them 2.
Amen and keep read the Bible….Jesus gives warning sign I. Matthew….read it carefully and be with true believers so we will not fall away…👍👍😱🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽pray for him…yes we suppose to…🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@nl9490 I am a muslim . I believe in only god. I donot believe god has a son. I believe and love jessus as a prophet but not as a god. He is a prophet just like abraham and mosses.
It’s funny how Raza finds faults in many other religions, especially Christianity, and not talk about what requires reform in Islam. How about talk about does Quran instigate violence and about the rights of women, does the Quran need reform in these aspects.
