Also, just because there were not female prophets mentioned in the quran doesn’t necessarily add to their(men) superiority like some scholars on RU-vid try to use to emphasize the superiority and leadership rights of men
@@MH-bf4uu Actually dude for the majority of human history patriarchy wasn’t really thing. People lived in , where sharing and co-operation were the norm. Hierarchy, inequality and oppression were virtually unheard of. This changed only within the last 10,000 years. Plus Allah never used the word man. He used a being that walks two legs: human. Allah never makes mistake neither does he run out of words.
Dr. Shabir Ally, I love your ways of answering questions with references, without insults to any religion. May the good Lord guide you on the right path.
May Allah bless you both, lovely people, and good muslims in shaa Allah. I smiled several times when saffiyah looked very hopefull of a female prophet hehe 😊
@@misbahailia3345she didn't come with a book so I would say no she's not at all a Nabi but she's of the righteous muslimaat and the mother of the muslimeen in general
Dr. Shabir Ally, he is so humble very knowledgeable on the Bible and the Koran and I have to give respect to this brother he is not a radical man maybe he was when he was younger what you know as you gain knowledge can you become humble you begin to grow in the knowledge and the experience that you face in life
Dr. Shabbir Ally has raised some valid points here, there could have been female prophets and Mary ( Maryam A.S) peace be upon him was probably a Prophetess too. May Allah grant us all knowledge
There’s a whole chapter on Mary. Why didn’t Allah made that clear in this chapter?? We have chosen you oh Mary and purified above all women” this is by far the station she was given. Rather than living in probabilities, why not follow what’s clear:
@@TwinofIcarus Please elaborate on this logic. doesn't surat Al mu'minuun talk about so many kufar? Also the the suras in the Quran were named by the sahaba well after the prophet pbuh died.
I'm a Muslim, we do have a female prophet. Maryam pbuh, Allah speaks to her many times thru the Angle, at one point, Allah tells her, when she's in her hut, Allah tells her, go to the Temple and pray with those who pray, which at the time, no women aloud in side the Temple, and Maryam pbuh walked in, so that separation between female and men is an Un-Quranic thing.
Yes is like saying there could be another nation after we all gone but nobody knows something like that but the problem is there are people of of them are women’s think that this means marry was a prophet even tho the quran and the prophet both of them didn’t say that
Why do you respect him? What do you know about him? What other ppl are telling you? And why should you trust hem? Read the book The Tragedy of Islam b Imam Tawhidi,
@@danielandrade147 No. According to our tradition, Mary named as the best of women for all nations(human being) and Muhammad is an Arab origin prophet not a Jew/Israeli . A whole chapter was named for Mary, not Mohammad's mother nor his wifes nor not his daughters ect
@@danielandrade147 no, it isn't the fact that she was the mother of Jesus PBUH that made her great. It was her own character that gave her this honour.
Yeah… she’s the only woman even mentioned by name in the Quran. The same Quran that says you can beat your wife if you just *suspect* her of disobedience, that the testimony of a woman is worth half that of a man, etc… really gives a clear indication of how Islam views women.
In my culture, a long time ago, there's a story about a Spirit called "Revelation Bringer" came down called upon a man to receive revelation, but no man came out to the Spirit, so a brave woman came to the Spirit and the Spirit taught her the laws and prayers. The Spirit taught that there is one God called Minamangun and He sit on His throne above the 7 Heavens. So up until now most of the religious figures are women. But these tradition almost dissapeared as most of us now either a Muslim or christian.
Possibly true however Islam is a Faith applicable to all times. Islam has never really been crippled by social acceptance. To make an educated guess you would only have to look at the Classical Ahadeeth with regards this topic. Even then you would have a strong educated hypothesis at best. An example would be in terms of witnesses pre requisites in Islam
@@mikewallice2795 Putting aside the idea of women as Prophets for the moment, what you mentioned is very interesting as it points out to the universality of monotheism (and in this case, Islam) and the ways it was conveyed to the peoples throughout the ages. If you don't mind, could you possibly tell me which culture this belongs to?
There are no female prophets because Allah chooses men over women.Allah knows whatever in the skies and the earth. He chooses some of his creation over others. those who are jealous of this matter and wish to gain what Allah has preferred others with are allied to saitan. For them is Hell fire. Of Allah's signs is that He created from us our wives. Be that, with it seek the home of hereafter. @Mr. Sabir Ally stop misguiding people by following their agenda. To your Lord is your return. Do you not fear that Your Lord would sallow you with the earth cause you sinned.
Maryam was a Prophet. Even medieval scholars like Ibn Hazm acknowledged that. She served in the temple, something only men used to do. Gabriel spoke to her as he did to other prophets. Miracles are associated with her as they are with other Prophets. She was chosen to deliver the Word (Hazrat Isa) which was her revelation. Her mother thinking she was going to have a son had dedicated her child in service to the temple. That her daughter was destined to play that role under the guardianship of Zakaraia goes to show that God had meant her to do what men were doing. Note that she prayed with other men in the temple too.
Because where is the prophet??? She in on her monthly cycles she can't come today to give you preaching Leading you for salat prayers. Where is the prophet she give birth so she will staying home for 40 days . And some other excuses. Think and think and more think.
Only Humans can worry about such discriminations, and only Humans would come up with the Need to worry. Can people really believe that worth and ability are a function of what body type a person has? It's in the nature of Humans to raise themselves only by pulling others lower. There have been individuals, both Male and female, who have conveyed God's messages, but Human's will use any excuse if they don't want to listen, right?
@@marshalllee624 In my very humble opinion we are never well-served by substituting labels for recognizing a person's Humanity. On the Internet there are a growing number of individuals who are working to lend their voices to the guidance Allah has promised us. Right here on LTQS I have been proud to watch women work creatively to advance awareness and understanding of issues in the Islamic community. Most of the readership here may not be old enough to have experienced the nature of the 1950-s and 60-s that precipitated the original Feminist Movement (see: Germane Greer). We have come a long way since a woman and children could be discarded by her husband and that he have no further responsibilities to those people, yet much work remains.
@@brucesims3228 thank you ! A wise person with critical thinking !! I really cant comprehend how some men , in the the replies , think that god soubhanaho wataala favours them over women and only created women for them to exploit! what a sad mentality ! I stand by feminism , you cant change the meaning behind a word just because of the extrimists . Its like having people call muslims terrorists because of the behaviour of daiich and such! which is unfair and not right !
I just don't agree on this. The answer is simple. There is no mention in Quran and Hadith on female prophets. So there aren't any. Why? Because Allah have chosen Men over Women to become His messengers and Muhammad is the last Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). It is up to them and those who fight for equality who do not agree with this arrangement, we just speak the truth. Why bother?
… The Virgin Maryam received Words of Allah from the Angel Jibril, that she would give birth to the Prophet 'Isa (عليه وعلى آله الصّلاة والسّلام), like how Muḥammad (صلّى ٱلله عليه وآله وسلّم) received Words of Allah from the Angel.

@@Skillzz817 And that's usually how Prophets receive revelations from Allah, that Jibril or other Angels (عليهم وعلى آلهم الصّلاة والسّلام) teach them what Allah said, not like mere inspirations that come into your head, which could be from either Allah or the Devil.
Sigh. Instead of worrying whether there was a woman prophet or not; focus on your Deen, make yourself a better Muslim. Because even if there was a woman prophet in the past, that knowledge wouldn't help you or anyone in the grave or on the day of judgement. Just follow the teachings of the Quran and Hadith and forget about anything else. Because everything else is meaningless. Only the Muhammad peace be upon him will intercede for you on that dreadful day. No other prophet will, female or not.
@Gala Pristine That is the tradition of the prophet. Instead of saying I don't know to things you don't know, it is better to say Allah knows it the best since Allah knows all. It is beautiful way of saying I don't know. It more accurate and corresponds or mirrors the faith of a believer.
@Gala Pristine Absolutely right. Everything should be understood and followed properly. Even medicine can be misused and can be dangerous, something invented to cure can be used to kill. But again, we are not talking about maniacs but why we say Allah knows.
Let me change your statement. Not one can gives answer who all the prophet, only God knows. Rather denying a female prophet, you could saying we not given a such information.
I think as it relates to Judaism and Christian, it goes back to women being viewed as causing the FALL of HUMANITY i.e. Garden of Eden. But yes, there were women Prophets in the Old and New Testaments.
I understand what he tries to convey, however I still do not understand why female prophets (if there were any) weren't explicitly mentioned in the holy books? Even if women were not taken seriously in that specific Islamic Age, would they not have been benefited if the Quran did mention the existence of female prophets? And also, if women are considered to be equal to men in the eyes of Allah (SWT), would they also not be given the same level of importance in the Quran? I understand the presence of Isa (AS) mother, Maryam (RA), as a prominent figure in the holy book, yet in comparison, men are always given a disproportionate amount of attention/importance in the Quran. Not a hater, just a Muslim trying to find her place in the world and feel seen in the eyes of the Creator and trying to understand if I really do matter :) UPDATE: i'm an atheist now lmaoooo either god is uninterventionalist or doesn't exist and i'd much more prefer the latter than believe in islam
@@smilerazea This is precisely what I am talking about. This form of targeted writing is not only reductive, but also a means of sheltering the overall focus on a privileged group. The existence of a Surah that is named after the concept of women does not take away from the fact that most of the Quran is male-centered. Your point is not only diminutive and presumptive, but it is also ridiculously uneducated and ignorant. Do better.
@@smilerazea Another important point to note is that Surat-an-Nisa isn't focused on the importance or the rights of women, rather it is focused on the rights of men over women and children. It's the same logic as looking at a triangle and calling it a square; if it is called a square, it doesn't mean it is a square.
"this form of targeted writing..." Do you mean the Quran? If that what you believe then up to you. Imho Islam elevate women highly. Chill. Relax. I'm not attacking. The Quran it is what it is. I don't do better.
Your definition of Rajaal as human beings is wrong. This word means a man and not a woman. However, the glorious Koran does confirm that Mary the mother of Jesus was chosen by God as the most exalted woman of all times and the spirit did appear before her as a human being and Mary was taught to pray to God.
4:35 to me actually she does. Of coarse she is. How else would you expect a female prophet to be? Going to jihad? or Arguing with men and getting abused by them. RasulUlLLAH (SA) was publicly beaten 8 times. What do you think men would do to a female prophet?
… The Virgin Maryam received Words of Allah from the Angel Jibril, that she would give birth to the Prophet 'Isa (عليه وعلى آله الصّلاة والسّلام), like how Muḥammad (صلّى ٱلله عليه وآله وسلّم) received Words of Allah from the Angel.
@@gamer2popspops970 Prophet is not the same as a Messenger; she might have got a revelation but she was not told to call people to the Deen like Nuh, Lut, Salih, Musa (pbuh) etc.
why couldn't Mary or Aisha have been called a prophet at least retroactively? Like now why not call Mary & Aisha prophets the way you call Adam a prophet? Wait why is eve not a prophet for this matter?
Dr. Shabir danced around the question very skilfully with wotds such as : " in the islamic view, there may have been females prohets". But did not give a definitive , unequivocal answer back up by his Quran, it was interesting to hear him convenientely refer to the Bible, the same bible muslims universally and dogmatically agrees it was " corrupted " . If quran was directly dictated by Allah, as the final truth, muslims should not quote it, when answering questions in the islamic context.
Quran always confirms the previos scriptures because their god is the same god Quran denies the scripturel changing but it accepts comment curruption in the books According to quran The God revealed to Mary,pharoah`s wife etc There are female prophets but their duty on mesenger of revelation is not like men their duty is told fewer than men in both quran and Tanahk Quran 3:3 He sent down to you the Book with the truth, authenticating what is between his hands; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. Quran 4:47 O you who have received the Book, believe in what We have sent down authenticating what is with you, before We cast down faces and turn them on their backs or curse them as the people of the Sabbath were cursed. And the will of God is always done. Quran 5:48 We have sent down to you the book with truth, authenticating what is present of the book and superseding it. So judge between them by what God has sent down, and do not follow their desires from what has come to you of the truth. For each of you We have made laws, a structure. Had God willed, He would have made you all one nation, but He tests you with what He has given you, so advance the good deeds. To God you will return all of you, and He will inform you regarding that in which you dispute.
Why is there no female prophet in the history of religions? Yes, there are no female prophets in the history of all religions. However, females were mothers of prophets and had the most important part in raising them as role models for society in terms of their honesty and integrity. It were mothers who taught them all the skills of life based on spirituality of the time. Why did God not choose female prophets? One can ask God about it. We could only understand that God granted a higher status of motherhood of prophets. If one looks at the life histories of prophets, it is clear that the responsibilities of delivering the message, leading the believers in trials and tribulations, and handling other matters would have been hard for females especially when they have the responsibility of raising the families. It is interesting to note that the knowledge given to prophet Muhammad(sa) was transmitted mostly through females, his wives because they were the closest observant of his character and life.
Too beautiful n detracting maybe? .. but again nobody knows who r the 1200. We only know a few n within a few thousand years back. So this question is hard. We donot know who r the 1200.
Where does Quran say there are not Prophet woman? What does Prophet mean? It means an angel talk to human. Quran mentioned many times angel talk to Mary, .As I know Hagar also talk to angel. Are they not female Prophet.? If not.. Who are they?
there have been around 124000 prophets in all times to all nations. very well maybe women or men. since Allah doesnt specify if there were women prophets or not
I do not agree with this at all. The word rijaal obviously mean "men" because if rijal means "those who walk on legs" then, even animals will be included. As for the verse that says people of the books be asked what isn't known, then we know that there are things which are obviously mentioned in the Bible which aren't true or even, there are such things claimed in the Qur'an that absent in the Bible, such thing as Aaron being a prophet or Ishmail, or Satan being an angel or not etc. If Allah had said the Prophets were rijal, obviously the Bible as it has reached down to us is lying and thus the ahl dhikr will refer to those who knew that the Bible contain errors and nt just anyone. Dr Shabir has made an error in identifying that "one tend to take information from one like one" because the Qur'an has said, we are of one another.
And We sent not (as Our messengers) before thee other than men whom we inspired. Ask the followers of the Reminder if ye know not. (Quran 21:7, Pickthall) Often in the Bible, the masculine sex is used to refer to both sexes. An example is: Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. (Matthew 5:8, NKJV) Another example is in St. Paul's writings: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. (Romans 8:14, NKJV) We know from other places in the Bible that God has both sons and daughters (not biological ones, of course). (Deuteronomy 32:18,19; Isaiah 43:6; II Corinthian 6:18) So, the word,"sons," is used in Matthew 5:8 and Romans 8:14 in a generic sense to refer to both sexes. If one were to translate that Arabic word in Quran 21:7 as "men" instead of "humans" as Pickthall did, it would be used in a generic sense to refer to both men and women. Dr. Shabir's explanation was good, too. Anyway, if Muhammad asked Jews and Christians if there were only male prophets and not female ones, we would emphatically say that that is not true. There have been prophetesses, too. Dr. Shabir mentioned a few of them. There are other prophetesses in the Bible, too. Hannah the mother of Samuel, Huldah, and the daughters of St. Philip the Deacon are some other examples. Very good explanation by Dr. Shabir. Really people need to break away from interpreting Scripture too literally. Excessively literal interpretations of Scripture are what produce cults and extremist groups. I don't think God is a Fundamentalist.
There's plenty.. your just so sensationalist and itchy you don't notice it when someone's legit... The shortage of a care to listen is as old as the myth itself... I don't know why people think fame or notoriety has anything to do with anything..
Like other comments are saying, it made sense that there wouldn't be many women prophets because each prophet was sent for a specific group of people. In ancient societies, the majority of them didn't hold women in the same regard as men. The men prophets often got persecuted by their own people and even Prophet Muhammad (SAW) got stones thrown at him and was chased out of town by the people of Ta'if. Most likely, there were some women prophets and they were for the fewer matriarchial societies.
He won’t even let her ask her question. He has to change the question to his liking. He answered her question by his rejection of her inquest. He dances around it so much.
What a beautiful answer thank you very much For me, I think this is from God's mercy, because there are prophets who were killed And mercy in the female's heart does not make her be able to kill an evil criminal May God reward you Sheikh and make it double the balance of your good deeds
The real question is how did Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم explain this concept to his companions and how did they understand it?! There was no one in history who’s understanding of Islam matched that of the Sahaabah, so please my dear brothers and sisters refer back to them in order to remain safely on the straight path💯. With all due respect to Dr Shamir, biblical reference or not to be used as proofs unrestrictedly.
If Allah asks Prophet Muhammad SAW to ask previous scripture holders about this matter then maybe the previous scripture holders are shedding light on something that we are unaware of till now. Allah knows the best.
Ibn hazm said there are female prophets. Not everything is documented. We learn alot of prophets names and stories from bible and not even from hadith. Learn fiqh first
@@hotcoalconversations9284 Al Quran: Chapter 10, Chapter of Jonah: Verse 94: So if you are in doubt, [O Muhammad], about that which We have revealed to you, then ask those who have been reading the Scripture before you. The truth has certainly come to you from your Lord, so never be among the doubters.
He totally translated that verse wrong that verse clearly means men he knows that and you can hear the uncertainty in his voice this is bad to misrepresent what Allah has revealed
@@muhammadbham2695 I am not convinced that any god exists. I am atheist. But I still respect those who believe, as long as they don't impose their beliefs and views on others.
But from my understanding, the word رجال in Arabic refers to humans "regarding the gender - male or female" who have certain qualities; for example, many scholars had called AishaThe prophet's wife رجلة. Meaning that she holds all the characteristics needed to be called رجلة كما في لسان العرب "ﻛﺎﻧﺖ ﻋﺎﺋﺸﺔ، ﺭﺿﻲ اﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻬﺎ، ﺭَﺟُﻠﺔ اﻟﺮﺃﻱ "
Ocean Hmmm 🤔 TBH, I don’t think so; the word “Mankind” refers to a community. On the other hand, the Arabic word “Man” refers to Males and Females with specific characters such as good manners, strong personality, standing with Truth regardless of consequences, generosity, bravery etc etc. In fact, the Arabic language is specific in some words and, to some extent, words are taken Metaphorically not Literally to describe a character of that human being, like the word “Man”. However, the word “Mankind” in english, refers to a community regardless of the above mentioned characters.
Single shot answer... Because people abused, attacked, tried to kill the Prophets... So, Allah saved and protected the women from This kind of humiliation by pegans.. Thanks for this to Allah...
Dear Shabir Ally, Since you are a scholar, we like to see a dabate between you and Christian Prince. Heard he already invited you for a debate and you said you're busy with your Doctorate.
Woke culture is so out of touch, and it’s incredibly frustrating. As doctor mentioned, there might have been prophetesses, but as a woman, I truly hope there weren’t any. If you read history, you’ll see how little regard they had for women, how patronized they were, and how hard their lives were. Do you really think people back then would have believed a woman speaking about monotheism and revelation? Most didn’t even believe in male prophets, let alone a prophetess. Count your blessings, thank Allah for giving you an easier life and stop asking foolish questions. You can’t imagine how hard their lives must have been-we wouldn’t last a day in those times, and I know I wouldn’t have. I’m opinionated yet sensitive, and I get tired and bored easily. I’m not lazy per se, but I definitely would have been considered lazy in those days.
I have huge respect for Dr Shabir but just because youth of today asking a question doesn't mean that you gave them an answer which pleases them. Why there were no female prophet? If Quran and Ahadiths is silent, we should to the same.
Shabir Ally when asked about why Islam doesnt have any female prophets directs to Bible where you can see the mentioning of female prophets in old and new testament. So the answer to this question is in bible and not in Quran. Shows how women is viewed in Islam.
God says in the Holy Quran that there were 124000 messengers but only 25 are mentioned by name in the Qur'an and all the 25 were men. So there's no way to know what the genders of all the 124000 were. God says in the Quran that for every age he has sent a revelation.
@@nassirhussein9438 Where in the Qur'an? If you listen to the speaker your answer is clear..The Qur'an does not need to repeat what is in earlier documents. It was concerned with Muhammad's society primarily. It does not have to touch on minutiae.
@@boulahbel I apologize. It is not in the Qur'an. It's in the Hadith. But I personally don't believe in Hadith because you don't know which is authentic and which is not since it is the word of man. But the Qur'an cannot be altered... so I believe in it 100%. And I don't believe an exact number is given as far as prophets.
Youth are asking questions , most Muslims never asked before, so we need to find a suitable answer to this, let's reinterpret some verses, to satisfy our youth, wow what more red flags you need, preservation at any extent, judge for yourself
The Hebrew scriptures *Tanakh* has the Book of Esther and the Book of Ruth. Miriam the prophetess was the sister of Aaron, she did not give birth to the son idol. Deborah was also a leader in the book of Judges.
question was are there female prophets and he answered yes its possible. one cannot say it with surety because GOD did not directly mentioned any female prophet. but all the signs are there. how else would you answer a question? he said yes according to some muslim scholars hazarat maryam is a prophet.

The simple answer is, men ruled the world in the past. If a woman was sent as a prophet no one would take her seriously. Also prophets were supposed to be leaders of their land, which in society throughout history was appointed to a man. Also a man prophet is stronger against enemies trying to put harm into him. A man prophet can lead into war if necessary. A man prophet cant get pregnant or have periods that prevent him from spreading the message. A man can move greater distances without getting tired. Even 100 years ago, if u had a female trying to start a movement, she would've get laughed at. Let alone thousands of years ago.
Arabic defaults to he (as many other languages), Allah is he... I think we know why. Religions are based on the culture. Or, God is not fond of women...after all it was Eve who screwed up Adam. 🙂
The responder has answered incorrectly, his answer shows a great ignorance and contradicts the Qur'an and sunnah. Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "أَفْضَلُ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ خَدِيجَةُ بِنْتُ خُوَيْلِدٍ وَفَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ وَآسِيَةُ بِنْتُ مُزَاحِمٍ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ" “The best of women among the people of Paradise are Khadija bint Khuwaylid, Fatimah bint Muhammad, Maryam bint ‘Imran, and ‘Asiyah bint Muzahim, the wife of Pharaoh.” Source: Musnad Aḥmad 2896 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani It is therefore clear that there could not have been a female prophet as none of these 4 women were prophets yet they were the best of the women. Had there been female prophets, they would have surpassed the women mentioned in the hadeeth as Allah ﷻ has chosen his prophets to be the best of His slaves. This is further cemented in the Qur'an (02:42), Allah ﷻ has stated: "... يَا مَرْيَمُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَاكِ وَطَهَّرَكِ وَاصْطَفَاكِ عَلَىٰ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ" ".. O Maryam! Verily, Allah has chosen you, purified you, and chosen you above the women of the nations.'' If the responder is ignorant then it is befitting for him to remain silent on these matters and learn. It is clear to those with knowledge that he is speaking from his whims and desires, his words only seem to appease the western agenda in diluting Islam from its core values due to the rise of Feminism and modernist ideology. The correct answer is that Allah ﷻ has chosen some of his slaves over others. Men and women have been created differently and therefore have different roles and responsibilities in society. Women have been chosen over men in some regards and men have been chosen in other regards. Leadership has been assigned to the men of the Ummah, the prophet ﷺ said when he heard the news that the people of the Persia had made the daughter of Khosrau their Queen (ruler): " لَنْ يُفْلِحَ قَوْمٌ وَلَّوْا أَمْرَهُمُ امْرَأَةً " "Never will succeed such a nation as makes a woman their ruler." Sahih al-Bukhari 7099 There is no dispute among the scholars that one of the conditions of the imaam or leader is that he should be male. Ibn Hazam reported in his book Maraatib al-Ijmaa’ that there was scholarly consensus on this point. In the section he says: “Out of all groups of the people of the Qiblah [i.e., all Muslim sects], there is not one that allows the leadership of women.” Al-Qurtubi reported something similar, and al-‘Allaamah al-Shanqeeti said, “There is no difference of opinion among the scholars on this point.” There are other examples where Allah ﷻ has given preference to women, E.g. Men have to work to provide for their wife and family and so therefore the wife has a right over the money. However, the money that a wife earns is for her to keep and the husband has no right over that money. We see therefore that Islam takes into consideration the differences between men and women in the roles and responsibilities the genders have in society, it is therefore a religion of justice and wisdom, not equality.
It was a tough Question.Dr Ally tried to circumvent Citing references from Bible. Quran being so categorical in everything some how is not so much categorical on this. Since mind of the 21 st century youth will not accept any discriminatory ideas , Islamic scholars are scrambling for remote references to somehow justify. Sorry sir Even among Buddhists, Hindus,Jains there are female prophets,Deities, Saints and sages and are explicitly mentioned and referred to. But having said this nothing wrong if you want to re intrepret Islam in a benign way. Ultimately what exactly prophet Mohammed meant ( Pbuh) is something to be interpreted as direct literal meanings maybcause confusion.
BISMILAHI RRAHMENI RRAHIM YOU AR FAR FROMTHE TRUTH OR YOU HEV A CENSORSHIP TU TELL THE THRUT OR HEV YOU NOT KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT IS GOING ON ??????????? DOKTOR?????? ##SAM_ISA_MI_ ON CORONA VIRUS
Let me give you a straight answer. Allah has chosen men to be prophets because its a huge responsibility and women are already handling huge amount of other things at home like bearing children, managing the house etc. Islam gives women the highest respect, Even our Prophet(SAW) said to take care of ones mother three times before father. The other reasons can be that, you have to give dawah of religion as a prophet to everyone, women are not suitable for that, women cannot lead group of men in Salah which is prime duty of a prophet and other reasons. Giving a diplomatic answer here is not really logical.
The question is wrong. It is not sincere in obeying or had faith in God. Why they don't asked, "why God created Adam first, not Eve too at the same time" ? Before asking the question, looked at differences between male & female in physical, mentality & emotional level. A female not suite to be a preacher for male audience. She might be 'over powered' physically, humiliated & her honor degraded. People will mock & jeered at her if her dignity 'taken' by force.
Muslim must not acting like Christian did. Muslim must not twisted it words like Christian did to make people love/like us. Remember how Christian do with Christmas on 25 Dec every year to pleased pagan people to like Christian faith ?
I want to know why he is talking about the Old testment of the Bible and then goes to the new testment if muslim believe the Bible is corrupted this makes zeron sense to me so are you saying only somethings in the Bible are ok and other things are not to fit the quran lol it makes zero sense
Yes although corrupted Quran affirms there are some correct statements here and there in the bible which are true, and those we can confirm from quran and tallies with bible we can accept...its elementary dear Pauline Watson...example Quran says David and Lot were righteous prophets and they didnt do meow meows mentioned in the OT, it also says Jesus was indeed the Messiah as mentioned in Gospels but he wasnt pokemon begotten son of god or god pokemon incarnate ...

1/4 of the way in still no answer with constant deflection even going as far as referring to the bible even to the neglect of islam , finally as a desperate last resort relying on the old Islamic age old Arabic language having many different interpretation of the same words which used by pseudo scholars as an excuse for their being no femal prophets
Bruh stop beating around the bush n get to the point. She ask what hasn't there been and you gave not immediate answer. Their aren't female prophets cause they aren't. The closets we get is Mariam but that is the story of Isis.
Men wouldn’t listen to a woman in the past the same way they would listen to a man how can she teach the people Salah if she’s at the back Although there could have been I doubt it also the greatest woman is Maryam and she’s not a prophet soooo…
A Hadeeth states that there were 124,000 prophets before him and the Quran states 25, (I forgot the exact hadeeth point but its in sahih buhkhari) I hope that gives some understanding
Edward Allen furthermore the Hadith is authentic how dare you make accusations about what path I’m going through u don’t know me and I don’t know you u should feel ashamed
an important thing to remember, is prophets were people who were of status/not weak among their people, so their people don't have the excuse of saying they want power
When someone doesn't like the answers he gives I automatically assume that person is an extremist. So no one will take you seriously. He's simply interpreting the meaning of verses/hadiths and there's nothing wrong with that.
The answer is way much easier than that, simply women and men have different roles, and they share the burdens and duties in this life, it's clear that carrying a message to face the powerful in the society and leading armies or getting persecuted is all more fitting to the mans nature than to a woman, especially in the ancient world.. that doesn't mean that men are better or superior! Every messenger was raised by a great woman and supported by one, these women are as great and important as the messengers, each in their role
There also another reason, women had menstruation, so she will never be allowed to be in the house of allah during menstruation , a prophet need to be able to to do his Jobs without any obstacles, if a women give birth, she will never able to do her job properly due to her need to filled the need of her offspring
@@edward46 you are not exactly right. Of course Muslim women can go outside and be seen and heard. If you read up on islamic hiistory during the propphets time, women were warriiors, speakers, merchants and many came to him publicly with all kinds of matters including offfering themselves to him in marriage. They were very forward, actiive and partiicipants of their sociiety. 1500 yrs ago. Even though they were not propphets. While SOME Muslims today have reverrted to ignorrance by oprressing women and keeping them housebound, it doesn't change Islam. You should also read up on the propphet's wives and their role and how they too interaccted with people.
@@edward46 no, what, you are saying, is not true, brother. The prophet didnt make up his own rules. He followed what Allah told him. So the role of women while he was alive and afterwards is the same. I am talking about the role f women while he was alive. Before he came, women had no role, but were oprressed and had no riights. In fact he was accused of being a feminiist. That's how much change he brought for women. Women were and remain free and actiive indiividuals. No hadith says women have to stay indoors and do nothing else. Also no reliiable schollar nor or then, will agree with you. Maybe its your cullture that makes you beliieve this. Its defiinetely not islam.
To be honest I’ve met many people and he is very respectful with his knowledge as others will be very judgmental and rude. So I respect him for his knowledge and teaching. God is one ☝🏻
He doesn't make any sense what he said, so animals also walk on legs how bout that are they included? why he refers to the bible that Muslims think it's not the word of God? why can't he just say I don't know God knows.
