So, what did the Muslims do for the Jews? 

I recently convert to Islam and this channel is teaching me so much and proving my reason right for leaving Christianity.

Uri Avnery, an Israeli initially supporting Zionism, changed his ideals after he learnt of the history you mentioned. And, he wrote an excellent article many years ago, which was very similar to this one. He passed away in 2018, championing living in harmony with the Arabs.

Salaam Paul, the more we find out about Islam, the more The Truth reveals itself, to the point we cannot deny but to submit our will to Laa ilaha illAllah, Muhammadar Rasul Allah.

It’s so beautiful when listen to those who are telling the truth .

When I was growing up, we had Jewish and Christian neighbour's. We lived in 3 terraced houses. We as the children would always play together and we would help each other preparing our different celebrations. 1 family would go to nearest town to get Kosher meat once a week because there wasn't halal butcher. We would make sure everyone was doing fine. We would share so much, it was beautiful. Indeed miss those days.thank you so much for sharing this informative clip. God bless.

That is eye opening I think many Muslims and Jews don't even know this history We need to know

After the reconquista in Spain the Jews were kicked out after a few years. Jews lived happily amongst Egyptians until the Jewish state was formed and officers of the 1952 coup made life difficult for them, forcing all of them to emigrate.

It's so sad that the one who saves them are now being abused by them... it's now happening as continuously abusing the Palestine...

This is rarely discussed subject.. The just treatment of the Jews during the Prophet Mohamad’s time set precedent for Muslim in later years... excellent presentation Paul

I have to respect your channel brother Paul as your a great person and doing a wonderful job, coming with great talks, I hope Jews learn something from this 👍

Asalamu alaikum ramatulla wa barrakatu salaam brother Paul, you know your an awesome person for uploading videos like these

So, Muhammed (sav) was REALLY the "prophet like Moses" as possibly prophesied in the old testament. He (sav) literally saved jews from extinction under oppressive rule, just like Moses did.

This was an eye opener presentation. Excellent Vlog clear and to the point. Thanks.

Great lessons to learn about Islam 👍

I just came across your channel in the last hour. I must say, this is the kind of content that used to be common in the early days of RU-vid. I don't know what's happened these days. I appreciate your curiosity for knowledge, truth and God.

God bless you, sir Paul, for spreading knowledge.

There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah

In my opinion, Blogging Theology is one of the finest channels for bringing the views and perspectives of leading scholars on religion and history. It speaks tons of Paul as a human being of great qualities and a true and quality scholar. I would love to, one day, visit him to talk to him and see his wonderful collection of books and papers.

That’s raw courage!

As usual, the topics of your videos are very well selected and you do a commendable job of addressing the critical dormant questions that many people carry in their subconscious but seldom voice them, and that dictate their behaviour and attitude in their daily lives. Thank you for always making videos loaded with substance and relevant authentic material to do justice to the topic chosen.

It is very significant to ask the same question vice versa “ what they are doing to Muslims in this time ?”

Hey, look at me on the cover photo!! 😁 Great video! 🙏🏼

Very informative and entertaining video. Thank you for your continued efforts Paul. If I may make one small suggestion. I would propose adding or overlaying some graphics during the video as different subjects are spoken about. An example could be showing a map of ancient Babylon as you were commenting on it. I understand that the style of videos on this channel are geared for discussion and commentary, however I believe integrating some clips or images into your videos would help maintain the viewers' attention as well as enhance the learning of the knowledge you are sharing with us.

You always put a smile on my face🙂

Hi Paul I like the way how you explain the history of Muslim and Islam very interesting thank you.

Audio is much better now

You want to test the sincerity of someone, give them power!

I suppose Jews in that period were proper practicing Jews living there life according to Torah that’s what brings us closer not there views about there messiah.

I was equally surprised to know that spread of Islam saved jewery. Further in 1600 when Jews were expelled from Spain, Portugal and Greece they were hosted by ottoman empire. Turkish jews lived with prosperity for 500 years and later migrated to Israel. There is a Jewish museum in Istanbul where historical evidences of Jewish migration to Turkey can be found.

Every honest Jew who knows the history of his people cannot but feel a deep sense of gratitude to Islam, which has protected the Jews for fifty generations, while the Christian world persecuted the Jews and tried many times "by the sword" to get them to abandon their faith. - "Muhammad's Sword" -by Uri Avnery, Jewish Israeli soldier, author, columnist. ... "The riots continued throughout Monday, June 2. During this time, many Muslims rose to defend their Jewish neighbors... " "We Jews from Islamic lands did not leave our ancestral homes because of any natural enmity between Jews and Muslims. And we Arabs-I say Arab because that is the language my wife and I still speak at home-we Arabs on numerous occasions have sought peace with the State of the Jews." - "Jews of Iraq" - by Naeim Giladi, former Zionist underground member.

WOW, you are pushing out the content but still keeping the quality!!!! Great topic and clear explanations

The "serious nastiness of conflict" [13:36 mins] has only come about since the Ottoman Empire collapsed. When the Islamic Empire was strong, it derived great benefits from supporting the Jews. It's very good that world Jewry survived due to that.

Yesterday i meet this channel. Paul your sharing motivate me to find out more. Syukur Alhamdulillah.

Salam, hi Paul, i really love the way you read for us thoroughly so that we can get the whole idea of the topic. This generation is more or less known for instantly move from one topic to another just by sliding and tapping our phones, so i think you gave us a great example on how to be patient in learning and studying... best regards.

Thank you for taking the time to put out these videos. They are very educational. God bless my friend :)

What did the Jews do for Muslims? That’ll be an interesting topic to complete this one!

Thanks Paul. I can see captions in Bangla. May Allah bless you.

Paul, thanks for this most informative video. I was not aware of this. All of your videos are to the point, classy and informative!

Subhana Rabbi al A'laa. Muslims and Jews against zionist.

We have to come from other religions to benefit from Islam : my great great great grand father was polytheist We all come from this background!!

Bravo! Excellent subject

Amazing information..this is so true..infact, if you watch the recent turkish serial ERTUGUL which is recently so popular in the entire world.. u can see what Paul is sharing this authentic historical fact. Lets Jews Muslims and Christians unite on solidarity and bring in world peace..Ameen!

I'm so proud of you!! I knew this was you , when I saw you speaking in the park on the bench against the Christian preacher and I thought to myself then ' YA ALLAH SWT ' HOW AMAZING ARE YOU?

Thank you Paul for revealing this truth

Alhamdullilah Allah is the only God and muhammed pbuh is his final messenger

History won't lie

Woww... another banger video...keep it up 👍😁

Another thing to highlight is that “ Dimmis” = “ people of contract or those non muslims living in a muslim state, if you look at the term used to describe them is enough , it means the people who have a contract of protection from Muslims or protected people. Using “ a second class citizen “ has a connotation that’s not relevant to Dimmis. Dimmis are being protected and non of them is forced to fight with muslims against their enemies; meaning that muslim soldiers died to protect those Dimmis. Second, Jyzyah is much less than Zakah that muslims pay. Dimmis who can’t pay Jyzyah were forgiven and the Muslim leaders paid on their behalf. Poor Dimmis were given money to live with from the muslim states. Any just person will not call that a second citizen. Dimmis are not allowed to rule muslims , simply because Islam has divine laws that none amongst muslims can change, those laws protects the rights of each party and preserves the superiority ( in ruling ) of those who follow the sound religion of the Creator. Others who don’t have divine laws are not trustworthy, because they may change their laws according to the change in their interests or environment. Thus, muslims and non muslims are equal before law , with preserving the legal rights of all non muslims. The weak non muslim is stronger before law than the strong muslim. One thing I noticed in western mentality is that even the most just persons amongst them are not brave enough to say the whole truth. May Allaah guide us all to the straight path.

Your video sound quality is getting good Paul👍👍

May God Bless you, Sir...

A very important video, thank you Paul! Very illuminating.

HiPaul, Good Morning from Indonesia... Love your review... Much better Audio Quality... Keep up your good work 👍😎👍

One of the Muslim experts of the Arabic language also pointed out to the Jews the triliteral roots of Hebrew words - paralleling that of Arabic. This was a huge insight: "Comparative Semitics - Wikipedia" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_Semitics

History is rarely what we assume through our 21st century lens.

Thank you. Greeting from Malaysia

Islam is rahmatan lil alamin, mercy and grace to the world

I have a feeling, that this man is getting closer and closer to the truth. Mark my words, InshaAllah he will revert to Islam soon.

Amazing choice of topic.❤

So true... Thank you sir

Salaam. Thanks for this info. I want to know more about this history. What book(s) can you recommend, Paul?

Knowledgeable person Thanks for sharing your knowledge with everyone

Great observation 👍 iam From Kerala India..

Paul, it seems all of Professor Wassersteins articles and lectures on this topic are no longer online. This is very strange....

Thanks very much for your news my dear. Peace be upon you. .

Excellent clip Mashallaah

When you don't know good for yourself cannot think good for your neighbor.

Thank you Paul! Once again, great video!

Beautiful content ... Love your channel brother Paul

Peace brother. Thank you for this video. Confirms what Islam is here to do which is to preserve and protect: life, wealth/property, lineage, religion and honor. Yes!!!! The proof is all there who really wants to know the truth. Anything and everything other then those objectives stated of what Islam is here to do, is not Islam. It is hijackers and actors.

unbiased presentation, Thank you

you must be a great man for telling truth requires one! may you be safeguarded sir

Oui très intéressant, merci pour le partage.

Salaam Paul, If you ever come to Peterborough, (not far from London) we would be blessed to host you, visit out beautiful mosques and meet the community, it would do good for you and for us., Check out - Faizan E madina Mosque. Peterborough's Cathedral is beautiful Too, its the tallest building in our flat fen land. Stay safe, interesting video will send to my Jewish friend, he told me about all this and how it was known as the golden age of Judaism.

I have been watching your channel. There are very people who say truth and try their best to find truth. Glad you have shown the falls claims done by Christian churches. May Allah guide you to Islam

Superb video. This is something that many people don’t know about.

This world needs more persons like you Brother Paul, in order to open the mindset and knowledge of people to lead them to the correct information and remove the stereotyping on muslim.

To All mankind .... Let's follow the laws of the Quran for just 2 years. Life of earth will be like paradise then, no bloodshed, no backbiting, no hating, help the needy, respect everyone, take care of your parents, no immortality and and most importantly Worship the Creator!

thank you

Quite interesting! Enlightened and enlightening discussion.

Was there a mistake in the text narrated; please refer somewhere between minute 11:16 to 11:23? Shouldn't the text be ..."when muslim arabic culture thrived, so did that of the jews..."

Very impartial explanation

Always the pleasure.

الحمد لله المسلمون أثناء الفتوحات الإسلامية لم يجبروا اي قوم على الإسلام بل كان لهم الحرية في إختيار دينهم أو معتقداتهم

Allah hu Akbar! Laa Ilaha Illallah Mohammadur Rasul Allah! S>A>W>S

Under the rule of the Roman Empire, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which is the holiest site in Judaism, had been left in ruin and was even turned into a rubbish dump. The Romans would discard menstrual cloths and all kinds of filth at the site of the temple. This was as a result of prevailing attitudes in the Church towards Judaism. For the Church Fathers, the separation of the Jews from Jerusalem and the obliteration of any remnant of their Temple was seen as a divine retribution. For example, the 4th century Church Father Jerome (342-420) wrote of his satisfaction at the disappearance of the Jews who were considered the enemies of Christianity: *Until this very day, those hypocritical tenants are forbidden to come to Jerusalem, because of the murder of the prophets and the last of them: the Son of God, unless they come to weep, for then they are given permission to lament over the ruins of the city in exchange for a payment. Just as they purchased the blood of the Messiah, now they are purchasing their own tears; therefore, even the lamentation is not given them for naught.* *- Moshe Gil, A History of Palestine 634-1099, p. 69* This was until the Muslim army led by Umar bin Al-Khattab, the second Caliph of Islam, liberated the Holy Land from the Roman occupation. The 10th century Jewish polemicist and writer Salmon Ben Yeruhim comments: *As we know, the Temple remained in the hands of the Romans for more than 500 years and the Jews did not succeed in entering Jerusalem; and anyone who did and was recognised was put to death. But when the Romans left it, by the mercy of the God of Israel, the kingdom of Ishmael was victorious, Israel was permitted to come and to live.* *- Salmon Ben Yeruhim, see manuscript from the Firkovitch collection, II, No. 1345* For both Jewish and Christian inhabitants of the Holy Land, Islamic rule signalled the age of tolerance. It became a historical age where people of different beliefs lived in peace and harmony in Jerusalem. The leading biblical scholar Michael Coogan writes: *“Caliph Umar’s forces would neither massacre its inhabitants nor destroy the religious monuments of the vanquished”.* *- Michael D Coogan, The Oxford History of the Biblical World, 2003, p. 443* The 9th century patriarch Theodosius of Jerusalem wrote with regard to the Muslim treatment of Christians: *“The Saracens [i.e. the Muslims] show us great goodwill. They allow us to build our churches and to observe our own customs without hindrance”.* *- Christopher J. Walker, Islam and the West, p. 17* Under Muslim rule, the Jewish holy sites were restored. A Jewish chronicle of the time describes how the cleaning of the Temple Mount proceeded under the watchful eye of the Caliph Umar: *Taking part were all the Muslims in the city and in the district and participating with them were a group of Jews; afterwards they were ordered to evacuate the rubbish from the sanctuary and to clean it; and Umar watched them all the time. Whenever a remnant was revealed, he would ask the elders of the Jews about the rock, and one of the sages would mark out the boundaries of the place, until it was uncovered.* *- Moshe Gil, A History of Palestine, 634-1099, p. 71* Moreover the Jewish people were welcomed back into Jerusalem and lived in peace along with their Arab brethren. Daniel al-Qumusi, an eminent 9th century Jewish scholar, wrote the following: *For before he came they could not come to Jerusalem; and they would come from the four corners of the earth to Tiberias and Gaza to see the Temple; but now with his coming he brought them to Jerusalem and gave them place and many of the Israelites settled there; and afterwards people came from four corners of the earth to Jerusalem to preach and pray.* *- Moshe Gil, A History of Palestine, 634-1099, p. 69* There is even a writing known as Secrets of Rabbi Simon ben Yohai, a Jewish apocalypse of the 8th century which presents a Judaic messianic interpretation of the advent of Islam. It contains a positive endorsement of the mission of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and an affirmation of the divinely mandated role of the Arabs in saving the Jewish people from persecution: *When he saw the kingdom of Ishmael that was coming, he began to say: ‘Was it not enough, what the wicked kingdom of Edom did to us, but we must have the kingdom of Ishmael too?’ At once Metatron the prince of the countenance answered and said: ‘Do not fear, son of man, for the Holy One, blessed be He, only brings the kingdom of Ishmael in order to save you from this wickedness. He raises up over them a prophet according to his will and will conquer the land for them and they will come and restore it in greatness, and there will be great terror between them and the sons of Esau.’ Rabbi Simon answered and said: ‘How do we know that they are our salvation?’ He answered: ‘Did not the Prophet Isaiah say thus: “And he saw a troop with a pair of horsemen,* *- John C. Reeve, Trajectories in Near Eastern Apocalyptic: A Post Rabbinic Jewish Apocalypse, pp. 10 - 11* These statements provide a fascinating insight into an 8th century Rabbinic understanding of the Muslim conquests. What this demonstrate is that early Jewish scholars were open to the idea of a Prophet emerging from among the Arabs, and we can see that some even interpreted sections of Isaiah as prophecies that have been fulfilled by the arrival of Prophet Muhammad. To summarise, Islam not only liberated Arabs from the oppression but even their Jewish brethren. It is because Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is sent as a mercy not only to the Arabs but whole of mankind: َ *"And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds." [Qur'an 21:107]*

Great info, thanks 👍
