  • In Quran 5:22, Moses tells the people to enter the land that God has promised them, and they express concern about its inhabitants. Dr. Shabir Ally shows that the Arabic term used to describe the inhabitants could refer to power and fierceness, but the Quranic commentators spun fanciful tales, writing that the the people were so giant they could reach down into the ocean, grab a fish and roast it in the eye of the sun, and when they were thirsty, they would hook the clouds and drink from them.

    We now have the Pharaos body in preserved form out of the Pyramids, we know without any doubt today that he was of normal height just like us modern day humans, which means, people of his era were of similar height too, that includes Moses (pbuh) and these groups of ''fearsome people'' referred to in the Quran. I really wonder where these great scholars came up with these mythical legends, and how dare they include such details in Quran commentaries when the Quran says no such thing. The fact that these stories have infiltrated the Hadiths, gives us more reason to discard the Hadiths that have corrupted the Muslims of today.

      @@Hamza00011 Do you accept the Torah and the Bible that exists today? Afterall at one point they came from Allah himself. But still you dont accept it, isnt it. Why not? Coz you know some of it is corrupted, and when you know parts of it is corrupted, you cannot trust the rest. So you discard the whole thing (and instead rely on the wholly preserved Quran) because you know for sure that corruption has entered these books.
      So why dont you then apply the same standard to Hadiths specially when you know its man made, written and collected by fallible Humans and Rasullah himself opposed them being written down? Why do you give it divine status and importance?
      Also, how dare you ignore Allah's command when he says in the Quran that - Which other hadiths will you rely on other than the Quran? When Allah himself says the Quran is 1) Perfect 2) Complete 3) Sufficient and 4) Fully Detailed, why should we not believe in Allah and listen instead to Scholars who promote man made Hadiths? Has Allah not rewarded you with eyes, ears and a thinking Brain? Was this limited to Scholars only? Is the Quran not a guidance for every human being not just the Scholars?
      There is only 1 verse in the entire Quran that says Rasulalllah is the final prophet, we believe it and make it part of our Shahada and core belief. 1 verse out of 6000+ was sufficient for us. Yet there are so many Anti-Hadiths verses in the Quran, but somehow we choose to ignore all of them.
      Remember many Hadiths graded Sahih are also deeply problematic and go against the Quran. We have been conditioned to believing them from ages just because they are graded Sahih. Again, did Allah grade them Sahih? No, fallible humans did. Allah promised to protect the Quran, did he guarantee protection of Hadiths? Nope.
      So how different are we then from the Jews and Christians who follow man-made corrupted Books?
      Just some food for thought.

    Hi, have a question for Dr. Shabir. How would he explain the fact the Prophet Nuh (AS) gave dawah to his people for 950 years? isn’t that fantastical if he thinks those narration on Adam and Musa are fantastical! What about the fact that the people of cave was put into sleep for 309 years! these are not interpretations these are mentioned in Quran.

    If giants had societies, then their family and societies would need to be giants. Their horses and camels, livestock, vegetation, tools and accessories would also need to be gigantic to service and sustain them. Their enemies, if not also giants, would likely depict them as giants.
    There are always taller people in all societies and they could be exaggerated tin legend but considering actual giants is not a practical idea.

    Allaah created Adam (peace be upon him) sixty cubits tall, then mankind gradually grew shorter until they stopped and remained as they are now. The evidence for that in the Sunnah is the hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Allaah created Adam sixty cubits tall, then mankind kept getting shorter until now.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3326; Muslim, 2841). Ibn Abi Haatim narrated with a hasan isnaad from Ubayy ibn Ka’b that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah created Adam a tall man with a lot of hair on his head, as if he were a tall palm tree.”
    Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Fath al-Baari:
    “ ‘Mankind kept getting shorter until now’ means that each generation grew shorter than the generation before, and that decrease in height ended with this ummah, and that is how they stayed.”
    And Allaah knows best. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.

    10:23 What you say is a lie. Our belief, as Muslims, especially what is related to the unseen, we take from the revelation, the Qur'an and the Prophet (PBUH).
    Israeli stories are not revelations, they are just stories, how do you say they are the hadith?!
    The hadith is revelation, supposed to be the speech of the Prophet (PBUH).
    Sahih al-Bukhari 7362
    Narrated Abu Huraira:
    The people of the Book used to read the Torah in Hebrew and then explain it in Arabic to the Muslims. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to the Muslims). "Do not believe the people of the Book, nor disbelieve them, but say, 'We believe in Allah and whatever is revealed to us, and whatever is revealed to you.' "

    Sons of Ishmael, blood of Abraham. Listen to this Christian who is pleading only out of care for you at this time.
    It is no coincidence that every single tribe in the Old Testament associated with giants were put to the sword. The very first war against the Rephaim wasn’t started by Jews but 4 kings before Israel existed in Genesis 14. Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim. These are Kings from current Muslim nations; Goiim is Turkey, Shinar is in Iran.
    Why did the God of Abraham wage war against the giants? Genesis 3, 6, and 11.
    Why should this concern Muslims? Ayyub is the great, great grandson of Esau. Deuteronomy 2 says the sons of Esau, Moab, and Jacob all fought against giants known as Emim, or Anakim. Goliath was an Anakim.
    You read that correctly.
    The real war is not against the Muslim, the Jew, or the Christian. It’s against demons: who are the dead disembodied spirits of giants.
    Is it coincidence that Nineveh and Babel were built by the same giant no less? It’s not.
