@@albertnehmat7093 Look, brother. The hatred within you has taken over all of you. The notion that God sent a prophet to arabs is very disturbing and offensive for both Jews and western people. It has to do with the culture and skin color. Western culture wants to be their own gods. Nobody can stop you from this. You are human beings and as equal as I am as creation. Nobody can judge you but God. If you want to believe in the bible as the way of salvation, so be it. You have all my respect. I am a medical doctor and so was Keith Moore and also a professor in embryology. He read those verses that you ridicule and if you are a medical doctor you will understand how profound they are. Regarding the rib cage and man emerging from there, it is simply because western people don't know arabic, there it clearly states that man came forward from between the backbone and ribs which is exactly where the uterus (womb) is located and during childbirth man indeed comes forward from there, Moore became a muslim. To just google and find "claimed" contradictions is not enough. Look, I had the same problem as you. I coudn't believe an arab became a prophet. What I did was imagining a man, illiterate, from the 6-7th century in the arabian dessert suddenly preaching these verses. When you read the quran in that sense. There will come alot of things that will shock you that you have to answer in order to dismiss it. Furthermore You really have to deal with the concept of trinity. Something so profound as the core of christian believe shoud be openly stated in the book of God. And also the philosophical concept of trinity is not in line with any monotheistic belief system on earth ever. How come God created everything and then he missguided people or more plainly, he kept the truth a secret and then sent his son who also kept it in the shadow and then when the son was gone suddenly Paul comes and says, Hey guys, Jesus forgot to mention this and that and also don't listen to him because he tells me I have authority now. You know, I wouldn't but my afterlife in the hands of such a man, if you do, with all due respect I wish you the best.
@Lilia murah Masha Allah. May Allaah reward you for the time and effort you put in defending the true religion and best of the people, Prophet Mohammad.👍

The way this system going only God knows what we will become if we carry on like that so you cant judge the Quran because it dosnt suit the fake freedom they created wake up.
Paul, I find your content utterly fascinating. Subjective "feelings driven" arguments so often enter the arena of debate; arguments that start with the search for a particular outcome, instead of the truth, as a goal. Your methodology, one of scholarly representation, objectivism and etiquette, is extraordinarily refreshing. Have you come across the book "The History of the Quranic Text from Revelation to Compilation - A Comparative Study with the Old and New Testament" By M.M.Al-Azami? A tremendous work in my humble opinion.
@@beth1979 Hahaha, surely you're joking, right? The guy's a Muslim convert who reads from two books, one by a Muslim and the other by another Muslim convert! And guess what conclusion they come to...??!!
@Rayrad 696 Allah is just one of God's many names dear, Rahman, Malik, Aziz, Razaq, Wasi, Basit, Raheem, Qudus, Jabbar, Hayy, Qayyum, Kareem, Qadir, Jallal, Hakeem, and so on and so forth. Google names of God in Islam, there are 99 of them as mentioned in Qur'an, also these are only those mentioned in Qur'an. And it's common for people to ask if Allah is God in Islam, what was God called in Arabic before Muhammad pbuh? Well, god in Arabic is ilah or elah, so as a worshipper of the one true God, you testify that there's no elah except Allah, ie no god but The God. One and only. Also, Islam didn't start with Muhammad pbuh, it was and always has been the religion of the prophets from Adam, Noah, down to Ibrahim, Moses, Jesus and finally Muhammad Allah bless them all.
@Rayrad 696 easy fix for you go pick up a bible and pick up Arabic translation it will say Allah even Christian Arabs say Allah so you got a problem take it up with them not us
@Rayrad 696 yet they translate god to Allah I’m sorry he’s not the same he’s not so weak to let his son die for the sins of man he doesn’t even have a son as he is beyond human comprehension a being supreme you dull his name by giving him human characteristics where as we glorify him as the one and only
Dear friend. You are doing such an excellent job in clearing many misunderstandings about Islam verses other faiths. God Almighty has chosen you specifically for this job. May He bless you for your hard work, dedication & short effective presentations. Thanks
To ALL who keep repeating the comment of “Why dont you become Muslim “? Muslim means submitting 100% to GOD. Anyone who believes in the ONEness of god, beleive in all the prophets is already a Muslim. There is no need for advertisement of being a Muslim. GOD / ALLAH sees the heart.
True. You dont need to say any shahada before some cheikh to certify that you submit to God, or give yourself an arabic name. God suffises as a witness to our submission to Him. Making peace with God is not some fancy "welcome to the club" religion like most people makes it to be.
@heera rodriguez the Prophet (SAS) said that he was commanded to fight the enemy until they said the shahadatyen. And the Prophet's uncle Abu Talib believed that the religion of the Prophet was the best religion of the people and he died with that belief yet Allah SWT did not allow the prophet to pray for him because he was not a believer. Shiekh Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid said: If a person accepts Islam out of conviction , and begins to practice it, then he is a muslim, even if he doesn't register his Islam officially, or go to a court or Islamic center to obtain documentation, or announce it to others. If such a person dies, then we hope for Paradise for him and pray for mercy for him. I hope that this is sufficient for you my brother in Islam. Salamu alaikum wa rahmatullah.

@Rayrad 696 lol what a waste of your time completely fake arguments at least our God has a name and he has 99 beuatiful names but you are not blessed because like Jesus pbuh said im not finished i have much to say but you cant bear them now ..this verse is very clear about the religion is not completed in his lifetime...and Allah said i have completed this religion for you islam btw in isaiah 42:8 he says i am LORD thats my name not jehovah you guys keep changing the scripture lol even today you keep corruping the corrupted even more what a joke omg even in exodus he says my name is i am who i am and again not Jehovah ..what kind of name is that ?? My name is I Am Who I am LOL
@Rayrad 696 40 prophets wrote the bible are you serious ??? So are John, Paul ,Luke and Mathew prophets ?? I dont know your understanding of prophets.All bibles are different and all of them contain different gospels ..the bible is not preserved im sorry its updating every day ..Jesus pbuh will say you get away from me...you evil doers !!
It’s very important to note that Islam doesn’t claim that it’s a new religion but rather a continuation of the two previous Abrahamic religions. What it alleges, though, is that it came to correct the misconceptions and hearsay that seeped into those religions. As a word, Islam means peace and submission to God.
It is a not a continuation why you trying to make the quran sound relevant? The shit copies everything from the Bible and from old Jewish stories that didn’t qualify to be in the Bible and then Mohamed claims he got revelations. It can’t a be a continuation yet deny almost everything about the books prio to it and make up a completely new ideology whilst borrowing texts from the same books that it claims are not fit. Madness and confusing is what I call Islam.
@@dwacts17apologetics54 you already know it's absurd to say it copied other books since there was no way of that since no jew who lived in Arabia accused Muhammad of such. He was illiterate he didn't write It by his own hands, he would just recite it and his companions would write that down on the spot. They never knew when will new revelation come. Its so absurd there is no word to explain how idiotic your claims are except i remain silent about that. Its pretty much logical that it came to fix its predecessors since Bible or should i say Injeel was turned into Bible, and Injeel was original Book which was is in arameic, which Romans changed completely into latin which is also one sign of plagiarism. Also Torah isnt just part of Bible as old script but they have their own remainings which jews read on their religious events. Its really wierd to say jews and christians since both books were intented to jews, 'Isaa was jew by his mother and was sent to jews to make some laws easier on them. Qur'an describes their laws in details how Allah ordered them to do. Qur'an came to complete originals not these pale copies that were changed over and over again. So in their root they all share same Source that is God One and Only, and messegners who all had same mission, to call people to worship Allah only. If they all share the same message which was unfortunately changed by their people who were idiots that didnt want to accept Allahs rules how can you say that anything is copied since it comes from the same Source? Nonsense. It just came to correct all changes they have made out of their hipocrisy and to show them that they can't ever overshadow Allahs true rulership.
@@amersekic8535 first of all I like how you choose an area less contradictory, you are forcing the narrative by skipping areas I want you to talk about. Talk about how fake the dude was, prophecies are not supposed to be personal, but for some reason everything he revealed was designed to cater his needs.... he’s says only 4 wives but he gets 11 😂😂😂😂. He marries his adopted child wife and some how allah shows him a prophecy that make it okay. This dude made allah ( the Muslim good) look very childish and always changing his mind clearly this allah can’t see the future because he tells him this then later on changes and tell him that. So either the allah is fake or Mohamed was making up things he sees fit. He’s the worse curse the earth has ever had. Everything about him is terrible, his life choices, he’s greedy and hate, nothing about this guy makes an average personal better if he chooses to follow him. He calls Christians and Jews and the unbelievers the worse of creatures and that they should be killed unless they accept and surrender to Allah and Mohamed. Why would God force you to love him? Why would God want you to do his work if he’s all powerful and all knowing? Of course the muslim allah is weak that he seeks mere muhamads to do his job. Same Muslims you find them hating the west because of the lifestyle yet fight and risk their lives to get here. If Islam is soo perfect why don’t Muslims stick to their majorities and have peace and harmony there? Truth is their regimes are backwards and have behaviors that don’t support a modern society and Mohamed is to blame for that. If you see all religion from a critical point of view, Islam is the worse because they have no grounds to stand on.
Thank you for this video 🙏 In the Bible the narration of the word of God is always according to somebody. The gospel ‘ According to John. The gospel According to Paul etc. Different versions of events by the many disciplines of Jesus and how they remembered events. (Like the Hadith). The Quran on the other hand is direct and only one voice narrates the entire Quran. Only Allah speaks in the Quran. None of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) are quoted directly or indirectly in the Quran. Muhammad (SAW) does not narrate the Quran. We learn about him in the verses. As we learn about Moses, Jesus (AS) etc. Moses (AS) is mentioned more times than Muhammad (SAW). If Muhammad (SAW) is the narrator of the Quran as some Christians believe would he not have mentioned himself more often? Allah refers to Himself as I and We in the Quran. We learn about about events which have come to pass which Prophet Muhammad (SAW) would never have known. Things like the sea/waters that never mix. planets, the sheer size and scale of the stars etc. Taking full credit for the narration. Allah recounts past events, foretells future events, tells us about the 🌍 , the beauty of the Angels “like scattered pearls “, the evil of Satan, the seen, the unseen and warns about sin and the punishment that awaits sinners in the afterlife. HE also tells us about the rewards that HE has prepared for the believers and the do gooders whether Muslim, Christian or Jew. The Quran is not just a book, it’s a comprehensive reference book, a guidance and a way of living for Muslims. A chapter for every life lesson from the foetus in the womb to death and beyond is covered in the Quran. Every time you read the Quran you learn something new. There is no religious book that can ever be compared to the Quran as there is no other book that has been recited by the Almighty Creator, except the Quran. Yes l have read the Bible (both versions).
@@wilfredsaldanha8238, stop being ignorant and disregarding the truth because of arrogance. Muhammad (blessings of Allah be upon him and peace) was the original conveyer of the message of Islam. We are his ambassadors as Muslims and his followers. And Prophethood is decreed through one being appointed by Allah as a prophet but Islamic belief (Ahmadi beliefs and other beliefs aren't Islamic) states that after Prophet Muhammad (blessings of Allah be upon him and peace) there will be no more Prophets!
The Quran is the word of Allah according to Muhammed but also according to those who memorized his words. In addition, the Quran is also according to Abu Bakr who compiled its verses into writing. The Quran was later revised by caliph Uthman who burned all other versions of the Quran except his own. The Arabic Quran of today should therefore be called, "The Revised Version of Caliph Uthman." Watch the RU-vid video, "The First Burn the Quran Day" for an expose' of how the Quran was created by Arabs.
My friend the Quran is a direct relationship with God. His msg is spoke directly to the people. Its not narrated or filtered throughout a cult... Peace be with you

Why do Muslims hesitate to "adapt" the Quran to the needs of the modern age ? This is a bad/wrong question (one who knew the core of Islam, they wouldn't formulate such a question). *Quran is a divine guideline from the Creator fitting every time and every place.

Well, what I see is just the reading to us of some pages from two Muslim scholars' books about their qur'an. Is this what is called true scholarship? Do you just pick a book and read to people and claim that is scholarship? Unfortunately, all what he has read has been seriously challenged and even fall apart from the same Islamuc historical sources. A bit more and rather a serious study could be needed apart from reading some pages of two books.
Ask yourself why one muslim has won a nobel prize for science in the last one hundred years. Population 1.7billion. 43 Jewish scientists out of 15million have won it. That should tell you a story. We saw what happened to egypt when they attacked Israel 1967. They left their tanks and their boots in the desert and ran.
@@derekallen4568 I don't know what your comment has to do with this thread. I suppose you want to say that there is a correlation between winning the Nobel prize and the religion which the winner follows. I won't argue whether that is or is not a discriminatory opinion, but I ask you to consider an alternative correlation. About one fifth of Nobel laureates have been Jewish. Also, well over 90% of all the winners, regardless of religion, have been of European descent. About 95% of Jewish winners have not been Israelis. And only four or five of the Jewish winners have been Mizrahim, about 2% of all Jewish laureates. So maybe the stronger correlation is between being a Westerner and winning the Nobel prize. This makes more sense as at this point in history, the Western world is much more advanced. If being Jewish were the stronger factor, one would have expected to see a lot more Mizrahim winners. Having said all of this, there is no denying that (mainly Western) Jews are vastly overrepresented as laureates, which is probably the result of their overrepresentation in academia.This is probably a very positive cultural trait. Let's hope it remains that way, as humanity is very much indebted to them. Have a great day, my friend 🌹🌹
Hadith: the prophet sas has said two things a man can’t get enough of in this world of knowledge and money . Allah guides who he wants and misguides who he wants it’s up to him.

Humans need to adapt to the Quran and not the other way round. If Quran adapts to needs of human, the utility and purpose of the Quran will be lost. It's not appropriate to interpret Quran in context of a small era of time or limited geographical location.
@@albertnehmat7093 Today, we will be talking about a scientific fact, mentioned in the Quran, regarding the male reproductive system. It is important to point out that while the Quran is not a science textbook, many of the latest scientific discoveries that were revealed in Quranic passages 1400 years ago. This is in stark contrast with the Bible, which contains numerous scientific errors (due to corruption by the scribes: (Jer 8:8, Mat 5:20, 23:13). For example, regarding genetics, in Genesis 30:37-42, Jacob changes the characteristics of animal offspring by having their parents look at white stripes while mating. FIRST We will examine the Quranic verse that describes the location of seminal fluid prior to being discharged. Literal translation of Quran 86:6-7: { (Man is) created from gushing water (which) comes out from between the backbone * and the ribs *. } * from Al Qamoos, Lisan Al Arab, etc In other words, just prior to gushing or coming out of the body, seminal fluid is located between the backbone and the ribs. At first glance, a layman might think that SEMEN comes out from the testicles. While the SPERM is produced in the testicles, NEITHER is the sperm NOR is the seminal fluid (essential for natural fertilization) anywhere near them prior to ejaculation. The verse specifically mentions the entire fluid, and not just the sperm “component”. So let’s examine the process of emission, where all the components of semen are joined. Sperm is stored in the epididymis, which is not in the testicles, but above them. The Sperm which comprises 2 to 5% of the seminal fluid, , travels from the epididymis up through the Vas Deferens duct and around the bladder. Together, the seminal vesicle and the prostate gland produce 90% of the fluid in semen. This mixture travels through the prostate and is joined by mucus from the bulbourethral glands, just below the prostate. www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/guide/male-reproductive-system?page=2 en.allexperts.com/e/s/se/semen.htm en.allexperts.com/e/e/ej/ejaculation.htm It is at this point that semen is fully formed, comprising both the sperm and the seminal fluids. As we can see, just prior to coming out of the body, all components of semen are mixed near the prostate, which is centered in the body, between the backbone and the ribs, or between the spine and the chest, which is between the back and front of the abdomen or torso, and most certainly not in the testicles or in the lower body at all. Someone might object by saying: the ribs are too high to say “the prostate is between the backbone & the ribs.” To this objection, we answer that: the head is still between the shoulders even though it is too high, & the genitals are still between the legs, even though they are too high. Now let’s check the verse again. { (Man is) created from gushing water (which) comes out from between the backbone * and the ribs *. } This precise scientific description could not have been known 1400 years ago, and even today most people don’t know it, as we will see next. SECOND We will examine some false claims regarding the scientific accuracy of this verse. In reference to this verse, answering-islam.org quotes mistake by Dr. William Campbell: “…we are left with the very real problem that the SEMEN IS COMING FROM the back or kidney area and not THE TESTICLES.” answering-islam.org/Quran/Science/semenproduction.htm www.answering-islam.org/Campbell/s4c2b.html In fact, SEMEN does NOT come from the testicles. (only the SPERM is produced there, which comprises 2-5% of semen). And as we saw earlier, SEMEN IS ACTUALLY FORMED NEAR THE PROSTATE. Next, let’s also listen to the false claims of the person discussislam: “This description reflects the view of Hippocrates, common in the 5th century…that SEMEN comes from all the fluid of the body & passes through the kidneys on the way to the penis. We now know that it comes from the testicles.” First of all, DISCUSSISLAM also falsely claims semen comes from the testicles “We now know that it comes from the testicles”. It’s astonishing how those attacking Islam make the same layman errors, without checking their facts. In any case, The Quran does not contain the scientific errors of Hippocrates view 1) That Semen comes from all the fluid in the body. 2) That Semen passes through the kidneys. As such, contrary to DISCUSSISLAM’s misrepresentation, there is no similarity whatsoever, between this Quranic passage, and the view of Hippocrates. Furthermore, let’s examine some more of Hippocrates related scientific errors, that are again NOT in the Quran: 1) sperm originate in the brain 2) men & women produce sperm 3) “healthy” sperm is produced by healthy parts of the body 4) stronger sperm results in males, weaker sperm results in females IN CONCLUSION The Quran clearly mentions the scientific fact, before it was known, about where semen becomes fully formed before “gushing” out. Semen includes the sperm AND seminal fluids, which are BOTH absolutely required for natural fertilization. The Quran accurately states that this fluid (gushing water) is between the backbone and the ribs prior to coming out of the body, as seen from the profile view of the male anatomy. Those attempting to discredit this Quranic verse, simply demonstrate their own lack of scientific knowledge regarding the male reproductive system. In addition, trying to ascribe the numerous scientific accuracies from the Quran, to philosophers like Hippocrates, who could rarely AVOID scientific errors on any matter, is obviously quite ridiculous. As we have demonstrated, misrepresenting both the scientific facts, and the views of ancient societies, is not only the strategy but a fundamental requirement for people attempting to refute the Quran’s overwhelming signs.

Muslims need to accept the apostle, Paul. He was more a messenger of God than Muhammed since he was an educated man who had studied the Jewish scriptures under the great rabbi, Gamaliel. Paul also had spiritual encounters with Jesus who revealed unto him the mysteries of the Gospel.
Masha Allah very fascinating books read by great learned Muslim. Jazakallahu khayr❤. I wonder if you could help me find the full titles of the two books 📚 🤔
Surah 2:62 "Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans - those who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness - will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve." Surah 3.55 " when Allah said, "O Jesus, indeed I will cause you to die and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ. " 39.4 "If Allah had intended to take a son, He could have chosen from what He creates whatever He willed. Exalted is He; He is Allah, the One, the Prevailing." Quran 2:28 "... "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability... " Sura 10.94 "So if you are in doubt, about that which We have revealed to you, then ask those who have been reading the Scripture before you (ie Jews and Christians)....." Surah 5:47 "And let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient." All are to judge by the Gospel - those who do not judge by the Gospel are the defiantly disobedient, and will be judged in accordance with that rebellion against the true God.
There is indeed a further question that must be asked about Akhtar's statement and it concerns this line: "addressed to a man, fully known to his contemporaries and to subsequent history *a man living in only two geographical locations in the same country."* We may fairly ask that if these "two geographical locations" that are the "only" places he "lived in", being "Mecca" and "Medina", where is an original ancient map of this period, around the 7th century, with these cities labelled on it, to prove that these locations actually existed? There exist some later and modern maps which have placed these two locations on what is supposed to be a rendition of a 7th century map, but can anyone actually prove it from an original map, or was Mecca either a non existent or irrelevant location if it is not marked on any authentic 7th century map? The point is, that if Mecca cannot be identified on an authentic map of the early centuries, then this calls into serious question, the Islamic historical narrative that claims that Mecca in Saudi Arabia is the birthplace of these things! Can anyone find such a valid map (not a later rendition with Mecca marked on it, but the map from the actual time period)? If no such map exists, then the story of Islam and Mecca cannot in fact be true as we have received it!

Mohamed pbup (police be upon him) was a fake prophet and a mentally deluded individual. He cared for sex and power nothing else and he used some sort of religion to win souls, smart guy.

great effort sir. appreciate your analytical insight. wondering and imagining you having intellectual discourse with Dr abdal hakim..take care saty safe
Yes, the Quran needs to face the same sort of scrutiny as the Bible. A fun way to learn about the changes in the Quran is with Terry Kelhawk's book "THE TOPKAPI SECRET." It is an adventure novel that chases across the world while revealing the changes - and then documents the changes in a reference section. Love it!
you have gained a new subscriber. I know its been 2 years since this video was released. the Bible seems to get more criticism because its historically incorrect. not only is it historically incorrect, it says the earth formed out of water which is not true.
In the Old Testament, the Egyptian ruler during the period of Prophet Ibrahim (as) and Prophet Yusuf (as) are named "Pharaoh." However, this title was actually employed after the eras in which these two Prophets lived. While addressing the Egyptian ruler at the time of Prophet Yusuf (as), the word "Al-Malik" in Arabic is used in the Qur'an: It refers to a ruler, king or sultan: The King said, 'Bring him to me straight away!'� (Qur'an, 12:50) The ruler of Egypt in the time of the Prophet Musa (as) is referred to as "Pharaoh." This distinction in the Qur'an is not made in the Old and New Testaments nor by Jewish historians. In the Bible, the word "Pharaoh" is used, in every reference to an Egyptian monarch. On the other hand, the Qur'an is far more concise and accurate in the terminology it employs. The use of the word "Pharaoh" in Egyptian history belongs only to the late period. This particular title began to be employed in the 14th century B.C., during the reign of Amenhotep IV. The Prophet Yusuf (as) lived at least 200 years before that time.216 The Encyclopaedia Britannica says that the word "Pharaoh" was a title of respect used from the New Kingdom (beginning with the 18th dynasty; B.C. 1539-1292) until the 22nd dynasty (B.C. 945-730), after which this term of address became the title of the king. Further information on this subject comes from the Academic American Encyclopaedia, which states that the title of Pharaoh began to be used in the New Kingdom. In this way We give you news of what has gone before and We have given you a reminder direct from Us. Those who turn away from it will bear a heavy burden on the Day of Rising. (Qur’an, 20: 99-100) As we have seen, the use of the word "Pharaoh" dates from a specific period in history. For that reason, the fact that the Qur'an distinguishes between the different Egyptian titles in different Egyptian eras is yet another proof that the Qur'an is Allah's Word.
Hi just been through what you have written Just want to highlight one issue The Israelite nation or the 12 tribes never lived in Egypt and there’s no connections between the Israelite and Egypt however The place where all the history of the Israelite and their prophets took events it’s Yemen. Pharaoh was only one tyrant leader at the time of Moses it’s was a dynasty. David and Solomon and the geography of Shaba was in Yemen and the Quran is utterly clear on that Sourate of Sabaa relate the events of David and his Solayman
Proverbs 26:26-28 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him. A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin. kingjamesbiblelite
Excellent! Passage of time cannot erode the word of God. The world and the human affairs still operate on the same basis as it was 1400 years ago and therefore Quran, the word of Allah, won't change with time.
"Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?And at the sky - how it is raised?And at the mountains - how they are erected?And at the earth - how it is spread outSo remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder"Quran
How does one "criticise" a revelation whose source is devine? Allah challenges all mankind & the jinn to bring forth even a single verse comparable to the Qur'an! 1400 year's have passed & no-one has managed to do so... Allahu Ekber!
There are many religions that claim they have divine authority on there own say so which they say is 'self evident' Joseph Smith claims this when gold plates and angels gave him the book of Mormon the Moonies leader with millions of adherents also claim this through their divine leader Sun Myung Moon and many others. while wisdom may come from all none can claim to be the only person to be on the inner councils of the Lord God.
@@lengreenhall2724 is this from an atheist point of view sir? I'm not sure what your driving at? Leave aside the various faiths for now... İf your suggesting that we all came to be, through some evolutionary miracle? That's just delusion!
@@adnankaba3372 Here is my fuller reply if you wish to read it .I am not an atheist and find the recent discussions on inteligent design thru new understanding of dna as most convincing and I am not saying there is no wisdom in the Quran but raising other questions. I have listened with interest the blogging theology lectures and found them to have good research and comment quoting many well-known conservative Christian authorities. However I am puzzled by what seems to me a blind spot with Paul’s continuing reference to the Quran as the qualifier and filter for New testament writings and also O.T. As I understand the revelations of Islam through their prophet is entirely through the prophet himself. He himself is the 'proof' that everything he presents has come from God and that seems to be enough for Paul . It is because Mahomet tells us through the voices of angels all that comes through him is from God and so because it is from God , according to himself , it is non questionable. It is not subject to critical comment as the bible is but stand alone because it is a one unified statement from the one man and so has its own unity. But is it enough for a one person to proclaim themselves as the one true prophet superseding and qualifying all previous Prophetic statements. This claim could be extended to the Moonies who have millions of followers and whose leader is a self-proclaimed and has a one barrel revelation all through Sun Myung Moon the leader and founder of the cult. I can also be said of Joseph Smith who claimed a personal revelation thru Gods angels and gold plates. It can probably even be extended to Adolph Hitler with his teaching, while not claiming to come from divine source, is presented as the true doctrine for all to follow. And of course is also the claim of the apostle Paul to have the one true understanding of Gods message given to him in person by Christ. My point here is that any self-proclaiming prophet whose own word that he is the true revelation is in iself the evidence he speaks directly from God is not enough for many others have done this down thru the centuries. Concerning the Christian scriptures they have come from a multitude of sources and are a developing revelation with ongoing changes as the mind of man is able to receive new understanding. Hence the verse "in the fullness of time God speaks through his son". It is unreadiness of human mind and spirit that God speaks haltingly through early prophets who at one time believe God can live in a tent but later as with Solomon the builder of the great temple proclaims " I know that no building can contain you' . At the end of it all the Christian Gospel tells us that the essential nature of God is Love which is greater than Mercy and that Christians are discipled to Christ to embody love and forgiveness to even their enemies just as they are loved and forgiven. This knoweldge and understanding is the culmination of centuries of prophetic struggle and development is not a one take with one person delivering it all as the supreme representative of the mind of God This ongoing developing understanding of the nature of God from many sources down the ages culminating in Christ is far more convincing to me than the one self-proclaiming prophet or religious gurus whose own unsubstantiated views of they being the only truth by themselves alone and to do a retake on all earlier understandings and revelations. this progressive Christian revelation is convincing because it comes from many authors who confirm and adjust each other as the Spirit of God further enlightens the human spirit with new applications in every age not through any one self proclaimed voice of any religious revelation. The Christian understanding also makes more sense to the developing understanding of new insights and allows this as a revelation through new Christian voices and others rejecting slavery and defending the freedom of women and opening new understandings of sexuality while the Islamic doctrine by the prophet Muhammad is fixed for all time and women’s status and sexuality issues which plainly need reforming are locked in time of the 7th century. So while I appreciate the good research and application of honest biblical criticism I am surprised that Paul cannot see his own dilemma of adopting Islam as the sole filter of truth by which everything past and future is qualified.
@@lengreenhall2724 yes & I respect you for that! Any belief quite frankly is better than the Darwinism nonsense of evolutional coincidence & chance! So one of the accusations against Muhammed is that he "doctored" the Qur'an! Made it all up...? Incredible! along comes a prophet of God who is apparently so accentric, self centered, narcissist that he goes out of his way to glorify & praise all the previous messenger's of God including Christ & even writes an entire chapter devoted to Mary mother of Christ. So! right off the bat this argument just doesn't wash! Anyone who studies the Hebrew Torah, & the Qur'an both written in Semitic languages will come to the conclusion that the similarities of fasting, not eating the flesh of the swine, & circumcision of the male child... can't be coincidental! Furthermore Christ in the place of Gethsemane prayed with his face to the ground just as Muslims do today. So if he is God? Who would God be praying to? Why should he pray at all? God is supposed to be the very object of worship! İf he is praying to someone else than by definition he is not God! Btw I read your reply in full.
"Why is there no 'historical criticism' of the Qur'an...?" Not only is there a "historical criticism" of the Qur'an, but that criticism has undermined the very foundations of that religion. All of this is detailed exhaustively at Pfanderfilms and in numerous youtube videos made by Dr. Jay Smith.
Jay smith is a fraud. Every islamic critic is. I say this cause every mistake they claim exists can be classified in 5 categories: Mistranslation, misquotation, misinterpretation, fabrication and emotion, all of which can be adressed easily even by lay muslims. They don't genuinely ask for why is this the case or why is that the case, they just assert their suspicion as correct. Unlike the correct way which is observation, theory, evidence then comfirmation, every islam critic inherently believe islam is false, then they try to find evidence for their assertion that came with no observation.
Just to clarify my position on Al Quran, I have no question on authecity, trueness, of Al Quran as Al Quran is the word of Allah Taala, the Al mighty and the creator of the universe.
I believe this needs to be answered or at least responded to in the very basic manner, the question you left in the video description. Within Islamic faith, there are few core beliefs that supersedes everything else. One of them is accepting and knowing by heart that everything is by the will of god. Whether you understand it (meaning, if you know why something happens) or not. If someone dives deep into the interpretation on quran will find that it's verses can be categorised into several classes. Some are about fundamental islamic beliefs like the Sura Ekhlas (3rd chapter from the last), some verses contain rulings and guidelines about daily lives, economics, state running, rules of war, raising family etc, some verses are about historical events, some are spiritual guidelines, warnings etc. And there is also a category of verses which don't seem to belong to the above classes. They seem to provide a glimps to some higher form of knowledge but then stays very short and concise. As if allah wants the reader to ponder upon these verses and try to interpret them in the right context, like why allah has said this, what allah actually hinting us these with, or what exactly it indicates to. This is where modern science opens the door to many answers. As we understand, in science there is nothing as a definitive last word, because everything is subject to change based on new knowledge. The more science advances, the more knowledge it creates and we have newer perspective to look at things. So science actually works as a tool to interpret quran. Then again, if something can't be alligned with todays scientific discoveries, then Muslim go back to the original belief, "everything is by god's will. If we can't explain it, then perhaps our study of nature isn't close enough". So in that sense, there's nothing like a modern adaptation of quran. Instead, we are in a constant journey to a complete understanding of the quran. This angle actually welcomes more effort into study and research of the things that are still unanswered.
The Quran was most likely written in the 7th century, but there are many inconsistencies, to many to list here. The deeper you dig into early Islamic sources (as some do actually do without bias) the more the whole thing looks like a history where an Arab conqueror or ruler in the past (not necessarily Muhammad) wrote (or commissioned to be written) a book (Quran) in order to facilitate a political movement that will unite "believers" under one cause against "unbelievers", and then much later the Muhammad persona was made up with the whole story about the "revelation", which most people believe today only because it is the standard narrative. Initial aim of early "believers" was conquest.

"Indeed, those who do not expect the meeting with Us and are satisfied with the life of this world and feel secure therein and those who are heedless of Our Signs * For those their refuge will be the Fire because of what they used to earn".Qur'an
The bible is from man who made many mistakes,and contradictions,within it, The holy Quran is literally the words of Allah swt, he makes no mistakes and is pure and truthful and is the creator of creations, the almighty one.. Allah huackbar...
The Quran has an advantage over the Bible regarding its preservation. It was compiled over a short period of time, and no one has tried to destroy its existence.
@@transformers5419 Which kings changed it? It's true at Nicea that Constantine the Great intervened at one point to settle a dispute, but remained neutral otherwise. King James authorized the printing of a Bible made available to all in their language.
Hope more of this kind of revealing can be shown.its not only to answer all question nor showing the right path for some 1 searching whatever,but more importantly,such infomations,makes me a better muslim/person
It's difficult to make historical critism of the Qur'an because it is included in the book! It presents all the historical arguments levelled against it and indeed previous scriptures. Not only does it answer each criticism but also exposes the motives of the objecting party. However, a distinction must be made between the Qur'an and "Islam" or the Muslim practice - there is plenty of scope to criticise the latter for it comes packed with post-quranic, human inventions!
The book's text includes evidence of multiple authors' styles, direct quotations from other literature and surprisingly little about Mecca. None of this fits the origin story.
@@thursoberwick1948 It would be helpful if you can cite the "evidence". Also, what's surprising about little reference to Mecca when it declares itself to be a Book of Guidance for the whole of mankind?
@@thursoberwick1948 I don't know which origin story you're referring to - if the Qur'an declares it originates with God of the Universe then it should be clear that He is not located in Mecca!
Shabbir Akhtar is my best friend's brother. At the moment he is in hospital with covid and is very unwell. If any Muslims reading this could pray for him (perhaps even read Surah Yasin), it would be much appreciated. Jzk.
That is because if you criticize Quran, you will be in trouble, most Muslims can't take criticism, meanwhile if you criticize the Bible most Christian will be only get upset at you, so there is difference in reaction, specially in the past
