In this video I discuss the Qur'an's theological engagement with Late Antique Christianity. If you enjoyed this video please like the video and subscribe to the channel!
I love your nuanced takes, specifically in addressing the Protestant fallacies that Islam was merely a concoction of heretic Christian groups. The fact that it cites phrases from the synoptic Gospels and the Torah, the Quran's author was familiar with orthodox views, but subtly introduces its own theology. The word plays it makes from the original text makes you wonder whether the author of the Quran knew Hebrew and possibly other languages. Also, the monotheistic trends pointed out by al-Jallad in preislamic arabia are not surprising. Islamic tradition acknowledges a group of people known as the Hanif's who believed in one God.
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him did not know other languages. There are many occasions where it would’ve been useful if he had but alas he never did. Also the play on words used in the Quran is not an easy thing to pull and as only a proficient speaker would be able to make such wordplay. There is another verse which also uses Hebrew word play which is Chapter of Hud verse 71. It says Sarah so God gave her Isaac which comes from “laughter” and following Isaac he will give her Jacob which means “following behind” that is such a strong play on words that to me it shows the source of the Quran is of divine origin

How does the Quranic name Iblis come from Greek Diablo. I found this definition of Diablo: [Diabolos is the Greek word for "devil". It has entered many languages to mean devil, such as Diabolus (Latin), Diavolo (Italian), Diablo (Spanish), Diable (French), and Diabo (Portuguese). Diabolos actually means "accuser" or "slanderer" and could also be connected to the Greek word diabolous, which means "divider" (which befits Diabolos's affinity with the gravity element in the Final Fantasy series), but eventually the general word Diabolos became the specific name of the entity. In the original Greek rendering, it was used to refer to the Christian Devil (The New Testament was written in Greek). Devil is the English translation of Diabolos and in Christian belief, this being is the embodiment of evil. The concept of the Devil is believed to originate in Zoroastrianism with Angra Mainyu (also known as Ahriman) as well as from the Judaic Satan in the Book of Job in the Old Testament. Their Satan was merely the "devil's advocate", an angel who acted as a skeptic and whom God allowed to afflict Job with suffering. Satan is Hebrew for "prosecutor/accuser" or "adversary". The concept of the summon Diabolos in Final Fantasy may be connected to the Jinn in Islamic mythology, similar to Ifrit. The djinn were the origins of genie myths and were spirits or ghosts made of fire or smoke. They were said to grant wishes.] The description above does not fit Iblis mentioned in the Quran. He is not a divider, advocate or a literal snake. But somehow, you insist the word is borrowed and its concept is from Greek. What is it with you and the Quran. You are so obsessed with this borrowing thing that you can’t let the Quran speak for itself and take it on own terms. Unbelievable. By the way, in the Quran he is called Iblis before ‘the fall’ but after that he is described as shaytan or satan. 7:10 We have indeed established you on earth and provided you with a means of livelihood. ˹Yet˺ you seldom give any thanks. 7:11 Surely We created you, then shaped you, then said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam,” so they all did-but not Iblîs, who refused to prostrate with the others. 7:12 Allah asked, “What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?” He replied, “I am better than he is: You created me from fire and him from clay.” 7:13 Allah said, “Then get down from Paradise! It is not for you to be arrogant here. So get out! You are truly one of the disgraced.” 7:14 He appealed, “Then delay my end until the Day of their resurrection.” 7:15 Allah said, “You are delayed ˹until the appointed Day˺.” 7:16 He said, “For leaving me to stray I will lie in ambush for them on Your Straight Path. 7:17 I will approach them from their front, their back, their right, their left, and then You will find most of them ungrateful.” 7:18 Allah said, “Get out of Paradise! You are disgraced and rejected! I will certainly fill up Hell with you and your followers all together.” 7:19 ˹Allah said,˺ “O Adam! Live with your wife in Paradise and eat from wherever you please, but do not approach this tree, or else you will be wrongdoers.” 7:20 Then Satan tempted them in order to expose what was hidden of their nakedness. He said, “Your Lord has forbidden this tree to you only to prevent you from becoming angels or immortals.” 7:21 And he swore to them, “I am truly your sincere advisor.” 7:22 So he brought about their fall through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their nakedness was exposed to them, prompting them to cover themselves with leaves from Paradise. Then their Lord called out to them, “Did I not forbid you from that tree and ˹did I not˺ tell you that Satan is your sworn enemy?” 7:23 They replied, “Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will certainly be losers.” 7:24 Allah said, “Descend as enemies to each other. You will find in the earth a residence and provision for your appointed stay.” 7:25 He added, “There you will live, there you will die, and from there you will be resurrected.” 7:26 O children of Adam! We have provided for you clothing to cover your nakedness and as an adornment. However, the best clothing is righteousness. This is one of Allah’s bounties, so perhaps you will be mindful. 7:27 O children of Adam! Do not let Satan deceive you as he tempted your parents out of Paradise and caused their cover to be removed in order to expose their nakedness. Surely he and his soldiers watch you from where you cannot see them. We have made the devils allies of those who disbelieve. In the Hebrew Bible it is a snake which deceived Eve to eat from the tree of good and bad. Eve was responsible. God in the Hebrew Bible also didn’t even know where Adam was. He had to look for him because he was hiding in the bushes. In the Quran Adam is responsible and he was not supposed to live forever. He was created a mortal being from the start after all. The two stories are very different. The story of Adam and Iblis in the Quran is very original. That is why you can’t find anything like it in any other culture. I know you are very desperate to find something similar. But alas failure and disappointment in your endeavor. You had to settle for a silly borrowing claims without any evidence.
@BenM You said > The story of Adam and Iblis in the Quran is very original That is why you can’t find anything like it in any other culture. I know you are very desperate to find something similar." My friend every imaginary novesl are original and you will not find similairyt when they first wrote it Ok? So you cannot compare original Adam and Iblis story bc it is imagination os Mhmd. A god teaches you to speaks lies to save your skin is not god as in sura 4:24 A god teaches you to have sex with slave girls even thoug you are not married to them is NOT from God as in sura 4:24 A god teaches you to beat your wife as in sura 4:34 is not from God A god teaches you to have sex with minor children is not from God as it is written in sura 65:4 I can write a novel book about those problems of your Allah Ok?
@@childofgod4862 FYI, there is no sura 4:24 but there is surah 4 verse 24. Your first point is about 3:28 not 4:24. Here is the text: Q 3:28 Believers should not enlist disbelievers as patrons in preference to [other] believers. Anyone who does so will have nothing to do with God, so you should take precautions against them. God warns you about Himself-, for towards God lies the Goal! This is about a time of enmity and wars between the new Muslim community and the pagan Meccans. God commands the believers not to take the Kafirin as allies. There is no lying here but there is another verse which allows a Muslim to deny his faith when under extreme duress. 16:106 Anyone who disbelieves in God after having once made his profession of faith except for someone who is compelled to while his heart is unwavering in its faith-but anyone who lays (his) breast wide open to disbelief will have wrath from God [descend] on him. They have awful torment! It goes down hill from there. You are a child of your god,. Let's see what your god commands. Leviticus 10 Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense; and they offered unauthorized fire before Yahweh, contrary to his command. So fire came out from the presence of Yahweh and consumed them, and they died before the Lord. Yahweh burned two people for burning some incense. What kind of god would be that touchy? Exodus 29:10 ” ‘If the offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from either the sheep or the goats, he is to offer a male without defect. 11 He is to slaughter it at the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides. 12 He is to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood that is on the altar. 13 He is to wash the inner parts and the legs with water, and the priest is to bring all of it and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, *an aroma pleasing to Yahweh.* your god loves the smell of burning flesh. It is a pleasing aroma. What kind of a needy god is that? your god is. Deuteronomy 20: “When you draw near to a town to fight against it, offer it terms of peace. 11 If it accepts your terms of peace and surrenders to you, then all the people in it shall serve you at forced labor. 12 But if it does not accept your terms of peace and makes war against you, then you shall besiege it, 13 and when the Lord your God gives it into your hand, you shall put all its males to the sword. 14 You may, however, take as your plunder the women, the children, livestock, and everything else in the town, all its spoil. You may enjoy the spoil of your enemies, which the Lord your God has given you. 15 Thus you shall treat all the towns that are very far from you, which are not towns of these nations here. 16 But as for the towns of these peoples that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, *you must not let anything that breathes remain alive.* 17 Indeed, *you shall annihilate them* the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites-just as the Lord your God has commanded, 18 so that they may not teach you to do all the abhorrent things that they do for their gods and you thus sin against the Lord your God. Your god is genocidal. 1 Samuel 15 And Samuel said to Saul, “Yahweh sent me to anoint you king over his people Israel; now therefore hearken to the words of Yahweh. 2 Thus says Yahweh Lord of hosts, ‘I will punish what Am′alek did to Israel in opposing them on the way, when they came up out of Egypt. 3 Now go and smite Am′alek, and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but *kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.* Your god commands the killing of women and infants. What kind of genocidal god is this? Your god is a blood thirsty god. And there are more of the same maniac behavior from your god whom you are a child of. Numbers 31: 17 Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him. 18 *But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.* Moses was told to instruct his soldiers to kill all the women but told them to keep the virgins for themselves as booty. You may interpret it as you wish but the purpose is obvious. Your Jesus did all that since you take him as god. He is responsible. You are his child. You are the child of a maniac god.
@@BenM61assalaamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakathu. Barakallahu fi-k. Thank you for showing this guy how ignorant he is. I thought I was gonna have to be the one to school him on the Qur’an and on his own scripture but I’m glad to see you did it for me akhi.
@@BenM61 Dude you need to understand that time shape languages and history. The Quran is what I would describe as “Frankenstein” due to its dynamic nature of extracting, rehashing and merging different ancient traditions to form its unique narratives in the context of its time. The story of Adam and Eve in the Quran has a strong parallel with the book of “Life of Adam and Eve” a book supposedly written in the 1st century AD but later recomposed around 3rd century AD. In this account, Satan was thrown out from heaven bcos he refused to prostate to Adam after he was created. Which aligns with(surah 2:34 and 7:18) It was also Satan that was responsible for the temptation that led Adam and Eve to fall from their original state therefore got expelled from the garden according to this account, which aligns with (Surah 7:22 and 7:24) Also to correct your assertion, Adam and Eve in the Quran was indeed created to be immortal before they ate the fruit Surah 7:20 indicates this, so you’re wrong by asserting they weren’t created to live forever in the Quran. There’s a huge blunder in Quran about Adam and Eve Narrative. 1) Why Allah casted devil out from the paradise in suarh 7:17 yet in 7:20-21-22 Satan was still in the paradise hence why he was able to succeed in tricking Adam Eve into eating the forbidden fruit. I’ll do like to see your explanation to this contradiction. 2) Surah 2:37 Allah forgave Adam and Eve for their disobedience, but in 2:38 and 7:24 Allah cast them down out of the paradise which leaves me wondering why since they’ve been forgiven. I’ll do love to see your explanations. 3) Since Allah has forgiven them, why didn’t they return to their original state as Surah 2:36 indicates that there was a shift in a state after they ate the forbidden fruit. 4) Why is the garden in heaven since god has created earth, what was the purpose of earth then? What if Adam and Eve never erred what/who would’ve lived on earth? Back to the subject matter, The Genesis account of Adam and Eve differs significantly with the Quran this doesn’t indicate that the Quran is more accurate but bcos the Quran is a product of it’s time just as the Genesis account was. The tradition of Adam and Eve as portrayed in the book of Genesis developed from ancient Sumerian and Akkadians mythology, where snake was seen as a symbol of wisdom(craftiness) and immortality. When the account of Genesis was developed, the concept of devil as it is known presently was nonexistent. Hence why devil was never mentioned anywhere in Genesis account.
@@adarthmagister The guy is a Christian and works for a Catholic institution, university of notre dame. I never heard him say anything positive about the Quran except that its author or authors copied from the Hebrew Bible and the so called New Testament books. The language of the Quran is all borrowed from other languages. The Arabs were just parasites basically. It is an old trodden road of dumb claims by his predecessors whom he likes to quote as though what they have claimed is ‘gospel truth.’ Wait; That’s Christian language also.
Bro I came here and gained more knowledge and iman from this. I’m not sure if he’s Christian or Muslim or even an atheist but to me this content increases my iman, not decrease it.
@@adarthmagister yea just saw a couple other videos spoke too soon. Seems like he’s just a western Islamic academic. I thought I stumbled on something greater but still seems unbiased to Muslims or non-Muslims at least in this video
What a great video!👏 Loved the "because of you" dramatizations. I'm really looking forward to reading the book you're writing on this very topic of "The Qur'an's Engagement With Christianity". Just one question though @GabrielSaidR : is it really fair of Mohsin Khan and Al-Hilali to put "such as Jews" and "such as Christians" in parentheses in Surah Fateha? Firstly, how do they know that for sure? It may just as well be referring to "Polytheists" and "Hypocrites" or some other countless number of splinter groups / factions. Secondly, it presupposes that Jews and Christians are monolithic communities and we know that's not at all true. Moreover, elsewhere in the Qur'an there's a distinction made by saying AMONGST the Jews and Christians there are many who are on the right path. This in my opinion is a bad interpolation by the translators and it's caused a great deal of harm to interfaith relations between Muslims and Jews & Christians. This particular translation from Mohsin Khan & Al-Hilali should be done away with once and for all.
The Qur’an is the words of Allah. This is the opinion of those who seek guidance other than what the Prophet has brought from his Lord. These are the opinion of those who didn’t believe in the existence of God and don’t believe in the Sacredness of the Abrahamic Scriptures…. Fool scholars who imagined themselves to be the true source of knowledge well in fact they are just looking for other guidance apart from what was revealed from the heavens and i swear by God that if u keep on criticizing the scriptures and religions by denying their Divine origins u will end up dying with empty hearts and confused minds and u will regret what you have been doing for all eternity.. I am a Muslim and I believe in the Prophethood of Muhammad(PBUH) and all the prophets who came before Him… Arabs are semites and just like the Biblical Hebrew people and all the semitic nations they all are descendants of Prophet Noah… they might be lost for sometimes and start worshiping imaginary gods and idols but the concept of having “One Supreme Unique God” who is the source of all was not new to them.. Islam’s belief system about God is purest form of Monotheism and is the most logical among all the Abrahamic Religions and if u will keep on looking for other guidance apart from God’s guidance then there can be nothing beside Guidance other than misguidance and astray.
@@hayyanmintgreen8561lslam is not the purest monotheism, it’s the most extreme and it misses out a lot about the JudeoChristian God, especially in the case of God’s ruach ha-kodesh(spirit of God) Monotheism is not a criteria of a true religion, it’s in fact a later development.
I’m a traditional Muslim and even I know these parentheses in the Quran are only the opinions *which I respect a lot of the times* of the scholars. If you look back in 1400 years in Islamic scholarly tradition many of them disagree on each what certain ayahs of the Quran *truly mean*. So just because a scholar puts his own opinion on the Quran doesn’t mean all other traditional Muslims or scholar will agree on it. Sometimes non traditional Muslims think scholars have always agreed with each 100% for 1300 and half years, no that is not the case
@@truthfinder6538 I’m confused here? Do extreme monotheism is bad? So you want me to believe in a concept of “son of God”? Trinity? Incarnation of Christ? God made mistakes and he regretted? Etc etc
I think the verse in the quran that says something like: do they wait for god to come down in the midst of the clouds with the angels”. It uses the same christian imagery of the gospel on the second coming. son of man coming down in the clouds of heaven etc
For your information God in the Quran teaching his prophet about the Christians or more specifically the Nazarenes, does not necessarily mean there were sizable Christian communities in Mecca or Yathrib. The prophet Muhammad was the last of the prophets خاتم النّبيّن. The doors from heaven were closed So to speak. We expect God to teach his prophet, his immediate audience and later generations about the true nature of Jesus, his mission and his demise. The prophet was told in many ways about Abraham, Moses and other Jewish prophets. He was taught also about other prophets from the Arabian peninsula not found in the Hebrew Bible. Does that mean that the prophet had a Time Machine? What I am saying is there hasn’t to be a Christian community for God to teach us about events related to Jesus or the Christians and their diverse views of him. I know about North Korea more than I care to know. It does not necessarily mean I have been to that country. So, get it through to your head and quit insisting there had to be Christians in Mecca. Give it up. You have no leg to stand on. Just conjectures.
Engagement with Christianity: Biblical terms and phrases. - Camel and needle’s eye. - Circumcision. غلف - Mustard seed - Seventy - Rolled up like scroll - Ostentatious and rebellious-super interesting - Mustard seed -Seventy - Heavens rolled up like scroll. Biblical image. - Ostentatiously rebellious-super interesting amazing -Recompense for what they are doing. 1 Corinthians 2:9 - Quran 5:117, 5:73 - Quran 7:157, 61:6 - satan blames god, Adam - Joseph as sheep - sleepers of Ephesus - Iblis?

Tripartite. - Fatiha. Angry with: Jews, astray: Christians. Trinitarian - Lamp, olive tree, light. Monks? - settled Christian community I couldn’t wait for you to end your ‘scholarly’ gobbledegook to end. It is so boring and filled with trivial and overreaching arguments which leaves the Arabs and the Muslims with no culture or language of their own. It is copied and borrowed. That’s really shallow ‘scholarship’ if you can call that scholarship presentation. Using Jesus to advance the Quranic theology? 5:114 Jesus, son of Mary, said, O God, our Lord! Send down for us a table spread with food from heaven, so that it may be a feast for us, for the first of us and for the last of us: a sign from You. Give us our sustenance, for You are the best of sustainers 5:115 God replied, I will certainly send it down to you, but whosoever of you deny the truth thereafter will be punished with a punishment such as I have never meted out to anyone else in the world 5:116 When God says, Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to people, Take me and my mother as two deities besides God? He will answer, Glory be to You! How could I ever say that to which I have no right? If I had ever said so, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my mind, while I do not know anything that is within Yours. You alone are the knower of unseen thing 5:117 I told them only what You commanded me to, Worship God, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness to what they did as long as I remained among them, and when You did cause me to die, You were the watcher over them. You are the witness of all things 5:118 and if You punish them, they are surely Your servants; and if You forgive them, You are surely the Mighty and Wise. 5:72 They do blaspheme who say: "Allah is Christ the son of Mary." But said Christ: "O Children of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other gods with Allah,- Allah will forbid him the garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help. It is just a warning to you, the trinitarian Christian, that Jesus is innocent from you people. He never claimed to be a god. Bushra. Why do you keep harping on the word bushra? It is an Arabic word. It is not strictly a Christian concept. 11:69 There came Our messengers to Abraham with glad tidings. They said, "Peace!" He answered, "Peace!" and hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf 11:70 But when he saw their hands went not towards the (meal), he felt some mistrust of them, and conceived a fear of them. They said: "Fear not: We have been sent against the people of Lut." 11:71 And his wife was standing (there), and she laughed: But we gave her glad tidings[bushra] of Isaac, and after him, of Jacob. Did the angels give Abraham and his wife a gospel. Get real. It’s so… Overreaching? Definitely. Banal.
The rolled up like a scroll is not Christianity, that is Tanakh. The authors of the new testament borrowed it from Isaiah. Apart from that though, yeah I find a lot of academic criticism like this to be greatly wanting. The Qur'an demands a lot more attention as a unity of itself, it is not a composite or syncretic work.
Thank for this wonderful presentation sir. Can i request you for another interview presentation or video regarding how the first audience of the quran understood God i.e. how did they understood the verses that says God has hands, eyes or he ascends on the throne. I am aware of theological implications and the rough debates that have aroused in Islamic Circle. It would be interesting to see views of the academic scholars on this subject
Islam began as an anti-trinitarian Arab Judeo-Christian sect promoted by the Arab empire. Arabs compiled quran from pre-islamic Arabic literature mostly derived from syro-aramaic Christian texts and folklores and also from Babylonian Talmud.
@@user-gn7uc8qf6xI would not ask Mr Gabriel if i didnt want to know the academic position on this subject. Athari, Ashari, Maturidi or Mutazilla any position one may want to subscribe is purely based on a particular theological assumption, not necessarily a historical and textual perspective. Although it seems plausible to me that many early sunni muslims did held the view that God is above them (i.e. Imam Ahmed, Imam Shafi, Imam Mubarak etc). Imam Mubarak is really an early imam. But it is not obvious to me that others held the same opinion ( ex: Imam Malik, Imam Hanifa). And I don’t know what was the shia view on this topic before mutazila became a thing
@@nazmusshakibrohan7687 You are on right track my friend, Keep searching for the Truth I will tell you the Truth is Jesus Christ Who said, "I am the Way (al hadi) the Truth (al Haqq) and life (al hayat) NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THRUOUGH ME. So you can go long way or short way, The choice is yours Good luck with the search
*what a mistake in the Qur'an!* Allah himself testifies that he has a son and he is the son as Christians understand it! Only the Koran writer was too ignorant to know what Son of God means! Allah's word which created everything is Allah himself too! *The Word Allahs which created everything is the Son of God according to Christianity!*
Son of God does not mean that God has a child in Christianity! *what a mistake in the Qur'an!* Son of God are 2 titles one referring to the Word of God and one referring to creation (humans, angels, demons)
I get that l,ying is part and parcel of the church's doctrine, after all one cannot expect much other than obfuscation as means of accepting the irrational (i.e. trinity), but is not hypocrisy also frowned upon? Perhaps that's just another incoherence of the cult of paul. At anyrate, for those unaware, this is a masquerading missionary. One of those whose eyes, ears and heart are shut till the day of debt.

@@roshlew6994that is really really far reaching and also without the evidence to back it. It’s surreal to think you can even think that. They’ve already covered the writing of the quran and it’s journey academically and what you just wrote is total bs
@@habiebidjokarso6607 there is no evidence for quran as a compiled book before the reign of Umayyad ruler Abd al-malik (685-705AD). The quran compilation and standardistion project began during his reign under his lieutenant Hajjaj bin Yusuf . This event is later redacted onto Uthman and Zayd bin Thabit in the standard Islamic narrative invented by abbasids over a century later.
@@roshlew6994 The quran was originally never meant to be compiled now was it? That’s exactly the way the muslims believed for it to be taught. Orally through the words of man that knew it from heart with minute differences with the different dialects. Depending on the seven different arabic dialects at the time and can till this day still be read in those different dialects and only doesn’t happen because of the standardisation. It was never ordered by Muhammad for it to be compiled. You know the rest of it’s history . So your argument quickly falls apart. I failed to mention that the video was about the standardisation which it completely maintained. And that’s on me. But your argument was about islam in itself being invented by a sect which is soo far reaching and at that point only falls in the degree of conspiracy.
@@habiebidjokarso6607 yes, if you trust the standard islamic narrative, quran was supposed to be orally transmitted l, but however was written, canonised and standardised within a few years to decades after Mohmeds death by his successors. When we look at the real origins of Quran, outside of the islamic narrative, we can see that quran was put together by the ummayad ruler Abd al-malik in his endeavour to create a separate Arab identity..
In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 12. “O John, hold on to the Scripture firmly,” and We gave him wisdom in his youth. 13. And tenderness from Us, and innocence. He was devout. 14. And kind to his parents; and he was not a disobedient tyrant. 15. And peace be upon him the day he was born, and the day he dies, and the Day he is raised alive. 16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35. It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. Quran chapter 19

No, nicolaitans are claudians are people of Ad (height) are Nazoreans you miss it completely and much more. Just for instant ; Dhul Qarnain = Cornelius = Germanicus (the horns-bearer) kortom, je snapt er geen ruk van.
That’s a stupid comment. The Ansar were not Jews at all. This is from Brittanica: [As a result of the Hijrah, another distinct body of Muslims came into being, the anṣār (“helpers”); they were the Medinese who aided Muhammad and the muhājirūn. The anṣār were members of the two major Medinese tribes, the feuding al-Khazraj and al-Aws, whom Muhammad had been asked to reconcile when he was still a rising figure in Mecca. They came to be his devoted supporters, constituting three-fourths of the Muslim army at the Battle of Badr (624 CE). When no one of their number was chosen to the caliphate to succeed Muhammad, they declined in influence as a group and eventually merged with other Muslims who had settled in Medina.]
This video is interesting so far but I don't get why some scholars think this must mean that the quran has parts predating the prophet or that it must have had authors other than him, some of them even reduce islam and the quran to christian heresy like Dye calling Surah 19 a christian text which is pure nonsense, you guys need tighter quality control to throw the garbage work into the bin. And if you don't mind me asking how do you guys exactly see the lack of syriac loanwords in the quran ?
Islam began as an anti-trinitarian Arab Judeo-Christian sect promoted by the Arab empire. Arabs compiled quran from pre-islamic Arabic literature mostly derived from syro-aramaic Christian texts and folklores and also from Babylonian Talmud.
Interesting how the Quran is very much into signs, while the most primitive Christian sources refuse signs, such as Mark 8:11. Great video and channel.
Islam id foolish people who cannot think anything for themselves Ok? A god cannot kill other asking Muslim to hill for him and then takes credit for kill those individuals Very premative minded Muslims
The circumcision of the heart isnt a Christian idea, its in Deuteronomy in the Torah. Christianity just takes the concept and then places it within a negative dualistic dichotomy (spiritual vs physical).
Muslims would point to the word choice in the Quran that resonates with the Jewish and Christian scriptures (even demonstrating awareness of the Hebrew) as proof that it is from God. The alternative would be claiming Jewish and Christian religion and discourse was mainstream in Mecca, that Muhammad was intimately familiar with ALL their scriptures, both canonical and apocryphal, and he was well versed in the languages of all those scriptures.
All the Prophets were Muslims who submitted to the will of God: Qur’an 22:78. And strive for Allah with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your father, Abraham. Allah named you “Muslims” before [in former scriptures] and in this [revelation] that the Messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over the people. Abraham: Qur’an 3:67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah]. And he was not of the polytheists. Jacob and his sons: Qur’an 2:132-133. 132. And Abraham instructed his sons [to do the same] and [so did] Jacob, [saying], “O my sons, indeed Allah has chosen for you this religion, so do not die except while you are Muslims.” 133. Or were you witnesses when death approached Jacob, when he said to his sons, “What will you worship after me?” They said, “We will worship your God and the God of your fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac - one God. And we are Muslims [in submission] to Him.” Joseph: Qur’an 21:101. My Lord, You have given me [something] of sovereignty and taught me of the interpretation of dreams. Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous.” Disicples were Muslims too. Qur’an 3:52. But when Jesus felt [persistence in] disbelief from them, he said, “Who are my supporters for [the cause of] Allah?” The disciples said,” We are supporters for Allah. We have believed in Allah and testify that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]. Qur’an 5:111. And [remember] when I inspired to the disciples, “Believe in Me and in My messenger Jesus.” They said, “We have believed, so bear witness that indeed we are Muslims [in submission to Allah].” .
Unitarians and jews submit to God. Are they muslims? Why should they pay phukin jizyah? Why don't your gud think they should pay Zakat like ordinary muslims though they're following Moses, Abraham ..etc and submit only to monotheistic god??? Muslims believing moses, abraham, jesus as muslims but not believing christians as muslims is phukin funny {Btw i can understand why muslims do believe trinitarians as not being followers of monotheism}
God bless you. Muslims are like Ebionite Christians and believe Messiah Isa Ibn Mariyum as a human being who is Prophet of God. Allah’s blessing be on him and his Mother, Ameen.
Even though the owner of the channel tries hard to hide his hard core chrainaity, it's apparent for anyone to see loool 7:54 *_The Quran actually dealt all Christians_* *"Those who say, “Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary,” have certainly fallen into disbelief. The Messiah ˹himself˺ said, “O Children of Israel! Worship Allah-my Lord and your Lord.”* Quran 5:72 and that exactly matches the real teachings of Jesus *“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one"* Mark 12:29 Christians need to come back to their senses and follow the real Jesus, not Paul. Quran was revealed by God to correct the previous teachings thus using what appears to be familiar things to them. Lastly, No sane Muslim scholar said dhul Qarbnayen is Alexander, so your sources need to be checked to be more credible
Critical thinker: My friend use your name in your life. Islam is for foolish people who follow it blindly Why are you trusting a man who was pedophile man? who was a theif, a liar, murderer, an adutlerer, companions of Robbers, child molester etc who have NO witnesses for any of his statements !
I am muslim and not here to debate or to insult anyone, i want to say something to the christian people at least accept the oness of god because your religion used to be monolithic religion. And jesus didnt die for your sins, every human being responsible of his sins and mistakes. Its illogical way of thinking if someone believe if someone commited a crime or a sin its okay and say its okay "jesus died for my sin". Then where is the message and the guidance of the life then? God forgives but it you will punished also. You are people of the book you should be unlike hidusim and other false religions. God is unseen god sends prophets since Adam to Eve no a single prophet said jesus is god or son of god he is a prophet of your religion. Jesus (pobh) never said bow down to me. In-fact jesus fell on his face and prayed to god if Jesus was a Jew, so knows the oneness of god! Try to fell on your face the way jesus (pobh) prayed to god. And directly talk to god from your heart. You will find the peace in your soul.
why the god needs a son the trinity is created by roman empire and Paul. He ruin the christian belief. please read about Ebionites and who they are. it's more accurate than the current belief of nowadays Christianity.
@@DotaAvailable Allah is Holy,no matter how much acts you do for the remission of sins,your actions will never level with His holiness. I know Islam says Allah is merciful but it doesn't mean He's unjust,He will judge everyone according to our deeds and the bitter truth is we would never be as Holy as He...so from the beginning of the creation,Allah allowed His children to sacrifice for the atonement of their sins,The Hebrew word “kaphar” in the Old Testament Bible is translated into English as “atonement” and it means “to cover.”( Atonement involved the sacrifice of an innocent animal, and by the shed blood of that animal, God would see the sins of the person(s) who offered the sacrifice, covered.) After Adam and Eve sinned,the most merciful Allah didn't want to be separated from His creation because it was sin that separated God and His creation,so therefore before they left God said to the serpent that tempted them , "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; they shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise their heel." Which literally means from the woman will come forth a child that will bruise the evil that tempted them and their would be redemption.( As we know Jesus was born of a virgin Mary ,did not fall prey to Satan’s schemes, but lived the perfect life that nobody else could live. To all looking with natural eyes, the cross seemed like another victory for the serpent. But as Jesus rose from the tomb on the third day, he showed that even though he suffered and died, it was Satan who ultimately had his head crushed ) So,God,the Holy of the holies decided to send His only son as the ultimate sacrifice for all of us,do u know the story of Abraham and his son btw that was only a demonstration of what God is actually gonna do later on. As Abraham was about to kill his son as a sacrifice,God stopped him and he provided ram 🐏 as a sacrifice instead of his son." The ram was actually a kinda like a metaphor of His only son that He gonna send for our sins.He loved us all so much that we don't have to earn to get 🎟️ to heaven but the all knowing and all merciful Allah chose to sacrifice his one and only son, allowed His son to be mocked, belittle and crucified n then rose again on the third day so that we could be saved in His son's name,that by the *shedding of His son's blood ,we would find redemption* therefore when you come before God's presence,it's not our actions but His son's sacrifice that would redeem us. This is the goodnews that brings peace 🕊️n redemption. Lastly *salvation isn't achieved through your effort but by His grace*.
Christianity was not much known but they knew about the prophets,about Jesus that's why they kept asking him for miracles as they heard of other prophets and much more with Jesus. Then the Trinity implied Jesus as God Jesus as son of God crucification and death of jesus Mansions in heaven You can see that it's partial knowledge. Because mention of Torah,zabur and Injeel but omits the other ktetuviim and prophets books how could that be because prophetic books are too critical to omit from Tanakh. Even in. Epistles Paul says Jesus is second Adam and Quran says same simultitude to Adam.
Maybe your viewers are not familiar with the message of the Quran. Here are some excerpts about Adam and Iblis. Note that Iblis never addresses Adam after ‘the fall.’ There is no YOU YOU YOU… at all. 2:30 When your Lord said to the angels, I am putting a successor on earth, they said, Will You place someone there who will cause corruption on it and shed blood, while we glorify You with Your praise and extol Your holiness? [God] answered, Surely, I know that which you do not know 2:31 He taught Adam all the names, then He set them before the angels and said, Tell Me the names of these, if what you say be true 2:32 They said, Glory be to You; we have no knowledge except whatever You have taught us. You are the All Knowing, the All Wise 2:33 Then He said, O Adam, tell them their names. When Adam had told them the names, God said to the angels, Did I not say to you: I know the secrets of the heavens and of the earth, and I know what you reveal and what you conceal 2:34 When We said to the angels, Bow down before Adam, they all bowed except for Iblis [Satan]. He refused and acted proudly and became an unbeliever 2:35 We said, O Adam! live with your wife in Paradise and eat freely from it anywhere you may wish. Yet do not approach this tree lest you become wrongdoers 2:36 But Satan caused them both to slip through this and thus brought about the loss of their former state. We said, Go down from here as enemies to each other; and on earth you shall have your abode and your livelihood for a while 2:37 Then Adam received some words [of prayer] from his Lord and He accepted his repentance. He is the Forgiving One, the Merciful 2:38 We said, Go down, all of you, from here: then when guidance comes to you from Me, anyone who follows My guidance will have no fear, nor will they griev 2:39 those who deny and reject Our signs shall be the inhabitants of the Fire; therein shall they abide forever.
You don’t need a scholar to find out the true nature of Christianity: deviation from the teachings of Jesus--1, Jesus never told people that he is God; 2 , rejected any law.
According to the earliest authentic Muslim source, Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah, the Quran came out of the mouth of Muhammad between 610CE and his death in 632CE. He was already forty when he had the first revelation and he had spent much of his time previously in religious debate with those around him including his wife's cousin Waraqa. The earliest Meccan verses about the Day of Judgement are taken in places almost word for word from the Gospel of St Matthew which was known to the Nazarene and Ebionite Christians around him at the time in Arabia including Waraqa. The angels and the trumpet and the fiery furnace and the Second Coming of Christ, for example. Islam was clearly regarded early on as a new sect of Christianity. Ibn Ishaq describes detailed conversations between Jafar, Muhammad's cousin, and the Negus of Abyssinia about the Virgin Birth in which Jafar deliberately misleads the Negus into thinking that Muslims believed in the divine nature of Christ when other verses of the Quran clearly condemn Christians as idolators for believing Jesus was the Son of God. With regard to Surah 1, it has been said that this prayer was an adaptation of a Christian prayer to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit condemning heretical sects such as the Collyridians for having gone astray.
I find it difficult to understand what your theses are. Because the Quran clearly emphasizes that it is the continuation of the tradition of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, and therefore it is not surprising that it uses phrases and expressions from the Bible and the Torah. Second, I am surprised that you explain the obvious instead of focusing on the concept, meaning, and message of the Quran. Do you want to prove that the Quran copied the Bible?! It is particularly intriguing that you see a reference to the trinity in Bismelahe Rahman Rahim with its simple meaning: "In the name of God, the most merciful and the most generous giver of merci". Moreover, when the Quran emphasizes the unity of God so strongly, how does seeing a reference to the Trinity make any sense? The Quran emphasizes that it uses parables and metaphors on many levels for those trying to understand. Some of these layers look like the skin of a watermelon and some look like its core. That's why Rumi says we chose the core of the Quran and left the skin to the donkeys.
Which pagan? You don't know pagan. Pagan is a wide category and your ☪ult itself is pagan Your ☪ult being abrahamic doesn't mean it isn't pagan Technically, only two non-pagan religions exist. These are judaism and christianity. Hinduism, buddhism, shintoism ...etc and even monotheistic zoastrianism are paganisms. The word 'pagan' was firstly used by christians. Islam didn't exist when that word was invented.
You can see a big big error in Quran understanding of the trinity Ie Allah,Mary and Jesus Then God is not a father to any and Jesus ...God can't have a son because he had no wife. This is absolute error.in bible God is father and son of God are not biological but this what Quran clear intimates. No where does bible or xtians teach God had a wife/ consort to be father or Jesus to be done if Gid
Torah, Injeel and Quran are revelations from God. For both Torah and Injeel, what is available now is the translation of the original scripture. That's why there are many writers of the translation. Quran is the only scripture that is available in the original Arabic script and it's preserved for thousands of years through memorisation. Its unique eloquent literary style makes it possible for memorisation and there are millions Quari or reciters of Quran all around the world now. That means if all written text of Quran is completely destroyed it can be reproduced to the original text from these Quari of Quran. Please note that Gospel is the mixture of 3 things. One, Injeel which is the word of God, two, what Jesus said and three what others saw in Jesus. It's a third party account of the above three. In Islam, Quran is the revelation from God. Hadeeth is what prophet Mohammed (pbuh) said and Seerah is the historical details of the prophet and his companions. Quran has the highest accuracy of preservation, Hadeeth is only accepted if authentic narrative is confirmed by reliable sources and Seerah is taken only at the historical context.
What Is Islam?💗 What is the meaning of the word Islam? Islam means submission, humbling oneself, and obeying commands and heeding prohibitions without objection, sincerely worshipping Allah alone, believing what He tells us and having faith in Him. ❇️ What is the meaning of the words “la ilaha illa Allah Muhammadun Rasul Allah”? “la ilaha illa Allah” means nothing worshipped is worthy of worship except Allah. “Muhammadun Rasul Allah” is the assertion of the message of Prophet Muhammad and to believe in it and to adhere to it by speech, action and faith. ❇️ Why did Allah send Prophet Muhammad? Differences and disputes arose among the Children of Israel. They introduced alterations and changes in their beliefs and laws. Thus truth was extinguished and falsehood prevailed, oppression and evil became widespread, and people needed a religion that would establish truth, destroy evil and guide people to the straight path, therefore Allah sent Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as Allah said “And We have not sent down the Book (the Quran) to you (O Muhammad), except that you may explain clearly unto them those things in which they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a folk who believe.” [al-Nahl 16:64] ❇️ Why did Allah send the Quran? Allah sent the Quran to His Messenger, to guide people and bring them forth from darkness to light by the will of their Lord. Allah says : “(This is) a Book which We have revealed unto you (O Muhammad) in order that you might lead mankind out of darkness (of disbelief and polytheism) into light (of belief in the Oneness of Allah and Islâmic Monotheism) by their Lord’s Leave to the path of the All Mighty, the Owner of all praise” [Ibrahim 14:1] ❇️ Do muslims worship Muhammad peace and blessings of God be upon him)? No . Muslims do not worship Muhammad (peace be upon him), or any other prophet. Muslims believe in all prophets including Adam, Noah, Abraham, David, Solomon, Moses, and Jesus, peace be upon them all. Muslims believe that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was the last of the Prophets. They believe that only God is to be worshipped, not human beings nor anything else. ❇️ What Are the Pillars of Islam? There are five pillars of Islam: 1- The testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; 2- Establishing regular prayer; 3- Paying the zakah; 4- Hajj (pilgrimage) and 5- Fasting Ramadan. ❇️ ........................................................

My friend you are very Naive If you look in ancient time SLM means idols Go google my statement and see what you will find Ok? Islam means surrender So do you know what is surrender? you give up your weapons when you join islam Submit means you can keep your weapons with you and listen Now I use weapon means inteligence, knowledge wisdom etc So let go those things and you joined Islam Even sura 5:101 Ask not question > . . And reason is given in next verse 5:102 Some people before you did ask such questions and on that account lost their faith Ok?
@@childofgod4862 Allah say in quran Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allāh is Islām. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allāh, then indeed, Allāh is swift in [taking] account. So if they argue with you, say, "I have submitted myself to Allāh [in Islām], and [so have] those who follow me." And say to those who were given the Scripture and [to] the unlearned,[119] "Have you submitted yourselves?" And if they submit [in Islām], they are rightly guided; but if they turn away - then upon you is only the [duty of] notification. And Allāh is Seeing of [His] servants.

Allah will judge Jesus and Jesus will testify against the Christians (including Collyridians) and Catholics on Judgement Day: Qur'an 5:116-118. And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah ?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen. 117. I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness. 118. If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
God says that Quran confirms what was sent before it ( Torah - Bible ) Most Islamic books are false, don't count on anything out of the Quran Astray people are not Christians, the father of Abraham was called astray in the Quran and he was not a Christian.
Jesus Christ came to this World to Replace and Remove all Religions and to Save Humanity from the meaningless Rituals of all Religions…!!! Because Jesus Christ is the Word of God (Son of God - Yahweh)…!!! Jesus Christ said to Humanity that, I am the Way, I am the Truth, I am the Life…!!! Jesus Christ said, I am the Way and nobody reaches in Heaven except through me…!!! If anyone follows me, he will certainly reach in Heaven…!!! Jesus Christ said, I am the Truth and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you Free…!!! Jesus Christ said, I am the Life and Whoever eats my Flesh and drink my Blood has eternal Life and I will Raise him to Life on the Last Day…!!
Those seven ‘I am’ sayings were put on the lips of Jesus by the authors of what is known as the book of John. The authors are anonymous and biblical scholars tell us the book was written about the year 95. That’s over sixty years after Jesus. Those sayings are only found in only one text, John. If Jesus said those things why can’t we find them in Mark, Matthew and Luke. I challenge you to quote something like that from those books. You people love to quote that book because it is all ‘I am this’ and ‘I am that.’ There is no real teaching of Jesus in John like what we find in the synoptic gospels. Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. So Jesus is a just a gate keeper. Just another wall between man and God. I for one would like to connect directly with God because I don’t see a need for a mediator be it Jesus or anyone else. They just get in the way. We Muslims worship God alone and there is no mediator or intercessors. Jesus was supposed to have said: Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. That’s just sick. That’s cannibalism be it literal or figurative. Thank but no thank you. You keep your cannibalism to yourself. I for one have no use for such, obscene, primitive and pagan belief.

@@littledeer1206 Christ is the Greek word for messiah. Messiah in Arabic is masih which means one who is wiped. Tradition has it that he was wiped with oil or some oil based perfume. So question that asks itself is how can god be anointed by himself who is also god? And more important than all of this, with Christianity’s own name being influenced by the Greek word “Christ”, did they also take influence from the Greek religion with their triad gods or was it actually taken from the Romans and their triad gods?
This is from your beloved Bible about Adam and Eve. Every time I read that story it leaves me with the thought of ‘this was made up.’ Yahweh is not omniscient. He is clueless. Yahweh curses the snake and everything else. Yahweh told a lie but the snake told the truth about eating from the tree. Adam was supposed to have died after eating from the tree but he lived almost a thousand years after the event. Crazy isn’t it. 3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God say, ‘You shall not eat from any tree in the garden’?” 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, nor shall you touch it, or you shall die.’ ” 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not die, 5 for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,[a] knowing good and evil.” 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was a delight to the eyes and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves. 8 They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 He said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” 11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent tricked me, and I ate.” 14 The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you among all animals and among all wild creatures; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and hers; he will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.” 16 To the woman he said, “I will make your pangs in childbirth exceedingly great; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.” 17 And to the man[b] he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life; 18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. 19 By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” 20 The man named his wife Eve[c] because she was the mother of all living. 21 And the Lord God made garments of skins for the man[d] and for his wife and clothed them. 22 Then the Lord God said, “See, the humans have become like one of us, knowing good and evil, and now they might reach out their hands and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever”- 23 therefore the Lord God sent them forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which they were taken. 24 He drove out the humans, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a sword flaming and turning to guard the way to the tree of life. The difference between the Bible and the Quran is huge the size of the Grand Canyon. And you want us to believe God borrowed from this book.
The Qur’an is the words of Allah. This is the opinion of those who seek guidance other than what the Prophet has brought from his Lord. These are the opinion of those who didn’t believe in the existence of God and don’t believe in the Sacredness of the Abrahamic Scriptures…. Fool scholars who imagined themselves to be the true source of knowledge well in fact they are just looking for other guidance apart from what was revealed from the heavens and i swear by God that if u keep on criticizing the scriptures and religions by denying their Divine origins u will end up dying with empty hearts and confused minds and u will regret what you have been doing for all eternity.. I am a Muslim and I believe in the Prophethood of Muhammad(PBUH) and all the prophets who came before Him… Arabs are semites and just like the Biblical Hebrew people and all the semitic nations they all are descendants of Prophet Noah… they might be lost for sometimes and start worshiping imaginary gods and idols but they concept of having “One Supreme Unique God” who is the source of all was not new to them.. Islam’s belief system about God is purest form of Monotheism and is the most logical among all the Abrahamic Religions and if u will keep on looking for other guidance apart from God’s guidance then there can be nothing beside Guidance than misguidance and astray.
When i read Quran first time i saw much intertextual connection and much references to torah and abit of ketuviim but hardly any on prophets except jonah I thout Quran csn be made to line with bible but discovered muslims were simply liars. Example trinity Not in bible Not also explained in bible But 1.there is one God called father of us all in tanakh and gospels 2.God has a Spirit proceeding from him who is a seperate being and has some divine attributes ie holy omnipresent, Gives life Pre exists creation So is divine and eternal since is from Allah Messiah is Holy Proceeded from allah Pre existed Gives life Is allahs word Is allahs spirit Hence divine The spirit and messiah are not God but divine This is a clear positipn in binle and Quran Allah ordered angels to prostraste to Adam to worship him because he had put of his spirit in him Also in bible the messiah is sitted at Gods right hand high and exalted like Adam this time men bow their knees to worship him by Gods order Muslims failure to explain this why did Allah order angels to bow to Adam and now you say not messiah a king?
20:35 - Yes, the Quran communicates that Allah led the devil astray. Allah doesn't send a delusion to the devil - Allah himself led the devil Astray. That is why he's the best deceiver.
For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, - Thessalonians 2:11 The Lord said to him, ‘How?’ And he said, ‘I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ Then He said, ‘You are to entice him and also prevail. Go and do so.’ - Kings 22:22 Now therefore, behold, the Lord has put a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the Lord has proclaimed disaster against you." - Kings 22:23 O Lord, You have deceived me and I was deceived; You have overcome me and prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day long; Everyone mocks me. - Jeremiah 20:7 Then I said, "Ah, Lord God! Surely You have utterly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, ‘You will have peace’; whereas a sword touches the throat." - Jeremiah 4:10
The Arabic word bushra and its derivations are not strictly Christian concept as if the word is copyrighted. It appears many times in the Quran: 6:48 We have sent messengers only as deliverers of good news and as warners. ا مُبَشِّرِینَ وَمُنذِرِینَۖ Whoever believes and does good, there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve. 6:49 But those who deny Our signs will be afflicted with punishment for their rebelliousness. 17:105 We have sent down the Quran in truth, and with the truth it has come down. We have sent you ˹O Prophet˺ only as a deliverer of good news and a warner. وَبِٱلۡحَقِّ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ وَبِٱلۡحَقِّ نَزَلَۗ وَمَاۤ أَرۡسَلۡنَـٰكَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرࣰا وَنَذِیرࣰا There are many more verses in the Quran using the word bashara. Your argument is nonsensical.
This channel is so underrated. Informative, academic and enlightening.
This is slowly becoming one of my favourite UA-cam channels 👍🏾
Catholic here!
Always love your videos - always a learning experience!
Echoing the sentiments below, an underrated channel
I love your nuanced takes, specifically in addressing the Protestant fallacies that Islam was merely a concoction of heretic Christian groups. The fact that it cites phrases from the synoptic Gospels and the Torah, the Quran's author was familiar with orthodox views, but subtly introduces its own theology. The word plays it makes from the original text makes you wonder whether the author of the Quran knew Hebrew and possibly other languages.
Also, the monotheistic trends pointed out by al-Jallad in preislamic arabia are not surprising. Islamic tradition acknowledges a group of people known as the Hanif's who believed in one God.
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him did not know other languages. There are many occasions where it would’ve been useful if he had but alas he never did. Also the play on words used in the Quran is not an easy thing to pull and as only a proficient speaker would be able to make such wordplay. There is another verse which also uses Hebrew word play which is Chapter of Hud verse 71. It says Sarah so God gave her Isaac which comes from “laughter” and following Isaac he will give her Jacob which means “following behind” that is such a strong play on words that to me it shows the source of the Quran is of divine origin
The author of the Quran knew all languages because He is God
I'm 1 minute in and I already admire you just for the fact you've such library behind you.
Gabriel you are a great scholar and even better teacher and narrator. Thanks for all your work.
Always waiting for this channel. It's sort of a short course for me. Thank prof.. 😊

Thanks. Am share your view ....
Thank you sir for a super interesting and informative presentation 🌹🌹🌹
Wow this content is like a university class that should be too advance to understand yet I understand. Feels like paid content and I thank you for having this for free.
How does the Quranic name Iblis come from Greek Diablo.
I found this definition of Diablo:
[Diabolos is the Greek word for "devil". It has entered many languages to mean devil, such as Diabolus (Latin), Diavolo (Italian), Diablo (Spanish), Diable (French), and Diabo (Portuguese). Diabolos actually means "accuser" or "slanderer" and could also be connected to the Greek word diabolous, which means "divider" (which befits Diabolos's affinity with the gravity element in the Final Fantasy series), but eventually the general word Diabolos became the specific name of the entity. In the original Greek rendering, it was used to refer to the Christian Devil (The New Testament was written in Greek). Devil is the English translation of Diabolos and in Christian belief, this being is the embodiment of evil.
The concept of the Devil is believed to originate in Zoroastrianism with Angra Mainyu (also known as Ahriman) as well as from the Judaic Satan in the Book of Job in the Old Testament. Their Satan was merely the "devil's advocate", an angel who acted as a skeptic and whom God allowed to afflict Job with suffering. Satan is Hebrew for "prosecutor/accuser" or "adversary".
The concept of the summon Diabolos in Final Fantasy may be connected to the Jinn in Islamic mythology, similar to Ifrit. The djinn were the origins of genie myths and were spirits or ghosts made of fire or smoke. They were said to grant wishes.]
The description above does not fit Iblis mentioned in the Quran. He is not a divider, advocate or a literal snake.
But somehow, you insist the word is borrowed and its concept is from Greek. What is it with you and the Quran. You are so obsessed with this borrowing thing that you can’t let the Quran speak for itself and take it on own terms. Unbelievable.
By the way, in the Quran he is called Iblis before ‘the fall’ but after that he is described as shaytan or satan.
7:10 We have indeed established you on earth and provided you with a means of livelihood. ˹Yet˺ you seldom give any thanks.
7:11 Surely We created you, then shaped you, then said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam,” so they all did-but not Iblîs, who refused to prostrate with the others.
7:12 Allah asked, “What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?” He replied, “I am better than he is: You created me from fire and him from clay.”
7:13 Allah said, “Then get down from Paradise! It is not for you to be arrogant here. So get out! You are truly one of the disgraced.”
7:14 He appealed, “Then delay my end until the Day of their resurrection.”
7:15 Allah said, “You are delayed ˹until the appointed Day˺.”
7:16 He said, “For leaving me to stray I will lie in ambush for them on Your Straight Path.
7:17 I will approach them from their front, their back, their right, their left, and then You will find most of them ungrateful.”
7:18 Allah said, “Get out of Paradise! You are disgraced and rejected! I will certainly fill up Hell with you and your followers all together.”
7:19 ˹Allah said,˺ “O Adam! Live with your wife in Paradise and eat from wherever you please, but do not approach this tree, or else you will be wrongdoers.”
7:20 Then Satan tempted them in order to expose what was hidden of their nakedness. He said, “Your Lord has forbidden this tree to you only to prevent you from becoming angels or immortals.”
7:21 And he swore to them, “I am truly your sincere advisor.”
7:22 So he brought about their fall through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their nakedness was exposed to them, prompting them to cover themselves with leaves from Paradise. Then their Lord called out to them, “Did I not forbid you from that tree and ˹did I not˺ tell you that Satan is your sworn enemy?”
7:23 They replied, “Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will certainly be losers.”
7:24 Allah said, “Descend as enemies to each other. You will find in the earth a residence and provision for your appointed stay.”
7:25 He added, “There you will live, there you will die, and from there you will be resurrected.”
7:26 O children of Adam! We have provided for you clothing to cover your nakedness and as an adornment. However, the best clothing is righteousness. This is one of Allah’s bounties, so perhaps you will be mindful.
7:27 O children of Adam! Do not let Satan deceive you as he tempted your parents out of Paradise and caused their cover to be removed in order to expose their nakedness. Surely he and his soldiers watch you from where you cannot see them. We have made the devils allies of those who disbelieve.
In the Hebrew Bible it is a snake which deceived Eve to eat from the tree of good and bad. Eve was responsible. God in the Hebrew Bible also didn’t even know where Adam was. He had to look for him because he was hiding in the bushes.
In the Quran Adam is responsible and he was not supposed to live forever. He was created a mortal being from the start after all.
The two stories are very different. The story of Adam and Iblis in the Quran is very original. That is why you can’t find anything like it in any other culture. I know you are very desperate to find something similar. But alas failure and disappointment in your endeavor. You had to settle for a silly borrowing claims without any evidence.
😂😂😂
@BenM You said > The story of Adam and Iblis in the Quran is very original That is why you can’t find anything like it in any other culture. I know you are very desperate to find something similar."
My friend every imaginary novesl are original and you will not find similairyt when they first wrote it Ok? So you cannot compare original Adam and Iblis story bc it is imagination os Mhmd.
A god teaches you to speaks lies to save your skin is not god as in sura 4:24
A god teaches you to have sex with slave girls even thoug you are not married to them is NOT from God as in sura 4:24
A god teaches you to beat your wife as in sura 4:34 is not from God
A god teaches you to have sex with minor children is not from God as it is written in sura 65:4
I can write a novel book about those problems of your Allah Ok?
@@childofgod4862 FYI, there is no sura 4:24 but there is surah 4 verse 24. Your first point is about 3:28 not 4:24. Here is the text:
Q 3:28 Believers should not enlist disbelievers as patrons in preference to [other] believers. Anyone who does so will have nothing to do with God, so you should take precautions against them. God warns you about Himself-, for towards God lies the Goal!
This is about a time of enmity and wars between the new Muslim community and the pagan Meccans. God commands the believers not to take the Kafirin as allies. There is no lying here but there is another verse which allows a Muslim to deny his faith when under extreme duress.
16:106 Anyone who disbelieves in God after having once made his profession of faith except for someone who is compelled to while his heart is unwavering in its faith-but anyone who lays (his) breast wide open to disbelief will have wrath from God [descend] on him. They have awful torment!
It goes down hill from there. You are a child of your god,. Let's see what your god commands.
Leviticus 10 Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense; and they offered unauthorized fire before Yahweh, contrary to his command. So fire came out from the presence of Yahweh and consumed them, and they died before the Lord.
Yahweh burned two people for burning some incense. What kind of god would be that touchy?
Exodus 29:10 ” ‘If the offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from either the sheep or the goats, he is to offer a male without defect. 11 He is to slaughter it at the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides. 12 He is to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood that is on the altar. 13 He is to wash the inner parts and the legs with water, and the priest is to bring all of it and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, *an aroma pleasing to Yahweh.*
your god loves the smell of burning flesh. It is a pleasing aroma. What kind of a needy god is that? your god is.
Deuteronomy 20: “When you draw near to a town to fight against it, offer it terms of peace. 11 If it accepts your terms of peace and surrenders to you, then all the people in it shall serve you at forced labor. 12 But if it does not accept your terms of peace and makes war against you, then you shall besiege it, 13 and when the Lord your God gives it into your hand, you shall put all its males to the sword. 14 You may, however, take as your plunder the women, the children, livestock, and everything else in the town, all its spoil. You may enjoy the spoil of your enemies, which the Lord your God has given you. 15 Thus you shall treat all the towns that are very far from you, which are not towns of these nations here. 16 But as for the towns of these peoples that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, *you must not let anything that breathes remain alive.* 17 Indeed, *you shall annihilate them* the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites-just as the Lord your God has commanded, 18 so that they may not teach you to do all the abhorrent things that they do for their gods and you thus sin against the Lord your God.
Your god is genocidal.
1 Samuel 15 And Samuel said to Saul, “Yahweh sent me to anoint you king over his people Israel; now therefore hearken to the words of Yahweh. 2 Thus says Yahweh Lord of hosts, ‘I will punish what Am′alek did to Israel in opposing them on the way, when they came up out of Egypt. 3 Now go and smite Am′alek, and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but *kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.*
Your god commands the killing of women and infants. What kind of genocidal god is this? Your god is a blood thirsty god.
And there are more of the same maniac behavior from your god whom you are a child of.
Numbers 31: 17 Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him. 18 *But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.*
Moses was told to instruct his soldiers to kill all the women but told them to keep the virgins for themselves as booty. You may interpret it as you wish but the purpose is obvious. Your Jesus did all that since you take him as god. He is responsible. You are his child. You are the child of a maniac god.
@@BenM61assalaamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakathu. Barakallahu fi-k. Thank you for showing this guy how ignorant he is. I thought I was gonna have to be the one to school him on the Qur’an and on his own scripture but I’m glad to see you did it for me akhi.
@@BenM61 Dude you need to understand that time shape languages and history. The Quran is what I would describe as “Frankenstein” due to its dynamic nature of extracting, rehashing and merging different ancient traditions to form its unique narratives in the context of its time.
The story of Adam and Eve in the Quran has a strong parallel with the book of “Life of Adam and Eve” a book supposedly written in the 1st century AD but later recomposed around 3rd century AD. In this account, Satan was thrown out from heaven bcos he refused to prostate to Adam after he was created. Which aligns with(surah 2:34 and 7:18)
It was also Satan that was responsible for the temptation that led Adam and Eve to fall from their original state therefore got expelled from the garden according to this account, which aligns with (Surah 7:22 and 7:24)
Also to correct your assertion, Adam and Eve in the Quran was indeed created to be immortal before they ate the fruit Surah 7:20 indicates this, so you’re wrong by asserting they weren’t created to live forever in the Quran.
There’s a huge blunder in Quran about Adam and Eve Narrative. 1) Why Allah casted devil out from the paradise in suarh 7:17 yet in 7:20-21-22 Satan was still in the paradise hence why he was able to succeed in tricking Adam Eve into eating the forbidden fruit. I’ll do like to see your explanation to this contradiction.
2) Surah 2:37 Allah forgave Adam and Eve for their disobedience, but in 2:38 and 7:24 Allah cast them down out of the paradise which leaves me wondering why since they’ve been forgiven. I’ll do love to see your explanations.
3) Since Allah has forgiven them, why didn’t they return to their original state as Surah 2:36 indicates that there was a shift in a state after they ate the forbidden fruit.
4) Why is the garden in heaven since god has created earth, what was the purpose of earth then? What if Adam and Eve never erred what/who would’ve lived on earth?
Back to the subject matter, The Genesis account of Adam and Eve differs significantly with the Quran this doesn’t indicate that the Quran is more accurate but bcos the Quran is a product of it’s time just as the Genesis account was. The tradition of Adam and Eve as portrayed in the book of Genesis developed from ancient Sumerian and Akkadians mythology, where snake was seen as a symbol of wisdom(craftiness) and immortality. When the account of Genesis was developed, the concept of devil as it is known presently was nonexistent. Hence why devil was never mentioned anywhere in Genesis account.
Academic? Nahh. Just propaganda for Christianity.
@@adarthmagister The guy is a Christian and works for a Catholic institution, university of notre dame. I never heard him say anything positive about the Quran except that its author or authors copied from the Hebrew Bible and the so called New Testament books. The language of the Quran is all borrowed from other languages. The Arabs were just parasites basically. It is an old trodden road of dumb claims by his predecessors whom he likes to quote as though what they have claimed is ‘gospel truth.’ Wait; That’s Christian language also.
Bro I came here and gained more knowledge and iman from this. I’m not sure if he’s Christian or Muslim or even an atheist but to me this content increases my iman, not decrease it.
@@adarthmagister yea just saw a couple other videos spoke too soon. Seems like he’s just a western Islamic academic. I thought I stumbled on something greater but still seems unbiased to Muslims or non-Muslims at least in this video

Read this i guess you can??
What a great video!👏 Loved the "because of you" dramatizations.
I'm really looking forward to reading the book you're writing on this very topic of "The Qur'an's Engagement With Christianity".
Just one question though @GabrielSaidR : is it really fair of Mohsin Khan and Al-Hilali to put "such as Jews" and "such as Christians" in parentheses in Surah Fateha?
Firstly, how do they know that for sure?
It may just as well be referring to "Polytheists" and "Hypocrites" or some other countless number of splinter groups / factions.
Secondly, it presupposes that Jews and Christians are monolithic communities and we know that's not at all true.
Moreover, elsewhere in the Qur'an there's a distinction made by saying AMONGST the Jews and Christians there are many who are on the right path.
This in my opinion is a bad interpolation by the translators and it's caused a great deal of harm to interfaith relations between Muslims and Jews & Christians.
This particular translation from Mohsin Khan & Al-Hilali should be done away with once and for all.
The Qur’an is the words of Allah. This is the opinion of those who seek guidance other than what the Prophet has brought from his Lord. These are the opinion of those who didn’t believe in the existence of God and don’t believe in the Sacredness of the Abrahamic Scriptures…. Fool scholars who imagined themselves to be the true source of knowledge well in fact they are just looking for other guidance apart from what was revealed from the heavens and i swear by God that if u keep on criticizing the scriptures and religions by denying their Divine origins u will end up dying with empty hearts and confused minds and u will regret what you have been doing for all eternity..
I am a Muslim and I believe in the Prophethood of Muhammad(PBUH) and all the prophets who came before Him…
Arabs are semites and just like the Biblical Hebrew people and all the semitic nations they all are descendants of Prophet Noah… they might be lost for sometimes and start worshiping imaginary gods and idols but the concept of having “One Supreme Unique God” who is the source of all was not new to them..
Islam’s belief system about God is purest form of Monotheism and is the most logical among all the Abrahamic Religions and if u will keep on looking for other guidance apart from God’s guidance then there can be nothing beside Guidance other than misguidance and astray.
@@hayyanmintgreen8561lslam is not the purest monotheism, it’s the most extreme and it misses out a lot about the JudeoChristian God, especially in the case of God’s ruach ha-kodesh(spirit of God)
Monotheism is not a criteria of a true religion, it’s in fact a later development.
@@truthfinder6538Right. Even the demons believe in one God.
I’m a traditional Muslim and even I know these parentheses in the Quran are only the opinions *which I respect a lot of the times* of the scholars. If you look back in 1400 years in Islamic scholarly tradition many of them disagree on each what certain ayahs of the Quran *truly mean*. So just because a scholar puts his own opinion on the Quran doesn’t mean all other traditional Muslims or scholar will agree on it. Sometimes non traditional Muslims think scholars have always agreed with each 100% for 1300 and half years, no that is not the case
@@truthfinder6538 I’m confused here? Do extreme monotheism is bad? So you want me to believe in a concept of “son of God”? Trinity? Incarnation of Christ? God made mistakes and he regretted? Etc etc
I think the verse in the quran that says something like: do they wait for god to come down in the midst of the clouds with the angels”. It uses the same christian imagery of the gospel on the second coming. son of man coming down in the clouds of heaven etc
Amazing work!
For your information God in the Quran teaching his prophet about the Christians or more specifically the Nazarenes, does not necessarily mean there were sizable Christian communities in Mecca or Yathrib. The prophet Muhammad was the last of the prophets خاتم النّبيّن. The doors from heaven were closed So to speak. We expect God to teach his prophet, his immediate audience and later generations about the true nature of Jesus, his mission and his demise. The prophet was told in many ways about Abraham, Moses and other Jewish prophets. He was taught also about other prophets from the Arabian peninsula not found in the Hebrew Bible. Does that mean that the prophet had a Time Machine? What I am saying is there hasn’t to be a Christian community for God to teach us about events related to Jesus or the Christians and their diverse views of him.
I know about North Korea more than I care to know. It does not necessarily mean I have been to that country. So, get it through to your head and quit insisting there had to be Christians in Mecca. Give it up. You have no leg to stand on. Just conjectures.

That’s really shallow ‘scholarship’ if you can call that scholarship presentation.
Using Jesus to advance the Quranic theology?
5:114 Jesus, son of Mary, said, O God, our Lord! Send down for us a table spread with food from heaven, so that it may be a feast for us, for the first of us and for the last of us: a sign from You. Give us our sustenance, for You are the best of sustainers
5:115 God replied, I will certainly send it down to you, but whosoever of you deny the truth thereafter will be punished with a punishment such as I have never meted out to anyone else in the world
5:116 When God says, Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to people, Take me and my mother as two deities besides God? He will answer, Glory be to You! How could I ever say that to which I have no right? If I had ever said so, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my mind, while I do not know anything that is within Yours. You alone are the knower of unseen thing
5:117 I told them only what You commanded me to, Worship God, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness to what they did as long as I remained among them, and when You did cause me to die, You were the watcher over them. You are the witness of all things
5:118 and if You punish them, they are surely Your servants; and if You forgive them, You are surely the Mighty and Wise.
5:72 They do blaspheme who say: "Allah is Christ the son of Mary." But said Christ: "O Children of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other gods with Allah,- Allah will forbid him the garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help.
It is just a warning to you, the trinitarian Christian, that Jesus is innocent from you people. He never claimed to be a god.
Bushra. Why do you keep harping on the word bushra? It is an Arabic word. It is not strictly a Christian concept.
11:69 There came Our messengers to Abraham with glad tidings. They said, "Peace!" He answered, "Peace!" and hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf
11:70 But when he saw their hands went not towards the (meal), he felt some mistrust of them, and conceived a fear of them. They said: "Fear not: We have been sent against the people of Lut."
11:71 And his wife was standing (there), and she laughed: But we gave her glad tidings[bushra] of Isaac, and after him, of Jacob.
Did the angels give Abraham and his wife a gospel. Get real. It’s so…
Overreaching? Definitely. Banal.
Islam is Gobblegook religion!
The rolled up like a scroll is not Christianity, that is Tanakh. The authors of the new testament borrowed it from Isaiah.
Apart from that though, yeah I find a lot of academic criticism like this to be greatly wanting. The Qur'an demands a lot more attention as a unity of itself, it is not a composite or syncretic work.
👏🙂
very interesting
Thank for this wonderful presentation sir. Can i request you for another interview presentation or video regarding how the first audience of the quran understood God i.e. how did they understood the verses that says God has hands, eyes or he ascends on the throne. I am aware of theological implications and the rough debates that have aroused in Islamic Circle. It would be interesting to see views of the academic scholars on this subject
Islam began as an anti-trinitarian Arab Judeo-Christian sect promoted by the Arab empire. Arabs compiled quran from pre-islamic Arabic literature mostly derived from syro-aramaic Christian texts and folklores and also from Babylonian Talmud.
@@user-gn7uc8qf6xI would not ask Mr Gabriel if i didnt want to know the academic position on this subject.
Athari, Ashari, Maturidi or Mutazilla any position one may want to subscribe is purely based on a particular theological assumption, not necessarily a historical and textual perspective. Although it seems plausible to me that many early sunni muslims did held the view that God is above them (i.e. Imam Ahmed, Imam Shafi, Imam Mubarak etc). Imam Mubarak is really an early imam. But it is not obvious to me that others held the same opinion ( ex: Imam Malik, Imam Hanifa).
And I don’t know what was the shia view on this topic before mutazila became a thing
@@nazmusshakibrohan7687 You are on right track my friend, Keep searching for the Truth
I will tell you the Truth is Jesus Christ Who said, "I am the Way (al hadi) the Truth (al Haqq) and life (al hayat) NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THRUOUGH ME.
So you can go long way or short way, The choice is yours Good luck with the search
*what a mistake in the Qur'an!*
Allah himself testifies that he has a son and he is the son as Christians understand it! Only the Koran writer was too ignorant to know what Son of God means! Allah's word which created everything is Allah himself too! *The Word Allahs which created everything is the Son of God according to Christianity!*
Son of God does not mean that God has a child in Christianity!
*what a mistake in the Qur'an!*
Son of God are 2 titles one referring to the Word of God and one referring to creation (humans, angels, demons)
I get that l,ying is part and parcel of the church's doctrine, after all one cannot expect much other than obfuscation as means of accepting the irrational (i.e. trinity), but is not hypocrisy also frowned upon? Perhaps that's just another incoherence of the cult of paul. At anyrate, for those unaware, this is a masquerading missionary. One of those whose eyes, ears and heart are shut till the day of debt.

@@roshlew6994 The quran was originally never meant to be compiled now was it? That’s exactly the way the muslims believed for it to be taught. Orally through the words of man that knew it from heart with minute differences with the different dialects. Depending on the seven different arabic dialects at the time and can till this day still be read in those different dialects and only doesn’t happen because of the standardisation. It was never ordered by Muhammad for it to be compiled. You know the rest of it’s history . So your argument quickly falls apart.
I failed to mention that the video was about the standardisation which it completely maintained. And that’s on me.
But your argument was about islam in itself being invented by a sect which is soo far reaching and at that point only falls in the degree of conspiracy.
@@habiebidjokarso6607 yes, if you trust the standard islamic narrative, quran was supposed to be orally transmitted l, but however was written, canonised and standardised within a few years to decades after Mohmeds death by his successors. When we look at the real origins of Quran, outside of the islamic narrative, we can see that quran was put together by the ummayad ruler Abd al-malik in his endeavour to create a separate Arab identity..
In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
12. “O John, hold on to the Scripture firmly,” and We gave him wisdom in his youth.
13. And tenderness from Us, and innocence. He was devout.
14. And kind to his parents; and he was not a disobedient tyrant.
15. And peace be upon him the day he was born, and the day he dies, and the Day he is raised alive.
16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt.
35. It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.

Thank you professor! Do you know if there is a reference to number 19 in the Old Testament or in the Bible? Reference to عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ ... وَمَا جَعَلْنَا أَصْحَابَ النَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَائِكَةً ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ

That’s a stupid comment. The Ansar were not Jews at all. This is from Brittanica:
[As a result of the Hijrah, another distinct body of Muslims came into being, the anṣār (“helpers”); they were the Medinese who aided Muhammad and the muhājirūn. The anṣār were members of the two major Medinese tribes, the feuding al-Khazraj and al-Aws, whom Muhammad had been asked to reconcile when he was still a rising figure in Mecca. They came to be his devoted supporters, constituting three-fourths of the Muslim army at the Battle of Badr (624 CE). When no one of their number was chosen to the caliphate to succeed Muhammad, they declined in influence as a group and eventually merged with other Muslims who had settled in Medina.]

First!
This video is interesting so far but I don't get why some scholars think this must mean that the quran has parts predating the prophet or that it must have had authors other than him, some of them even reduce islam and the quran to christian heresy like Dye calling Surah 19 a christian text which is pure nonsense, you guys need tighter quality control to throw the garbage work into the bin. And if you don't mind me asking how do you guys exactly see the lack of syriac loanwords in the quran ?
Islam began as an anti-trinitarian Arab Judeo-Christian sect promoted by the Arab empire. Arabs compiled quran from pre-islamic Arabic literature mostly derived from syro-aramaic Christian texts and folklores and also from Babylonian Talmud.
Interesting how the Quran is very much into signs, while the most primitive Christian sources refuse signs, such as Mark 8:11. Great video and channel.
Islam id foolish people who cannot think anything for themselves Ok? A god cannot kill other asking Muslim to hill for him and then takes credit for kill those individuals Very premative minded Muslims
Why dont you invite Dr. Ali Atae , a scholar of repute... of Arabic Greek and Hebrew
The circumcision of the heart isnt a Christian idea, its in Deuteronomy in the Torah.
Christianity just takes the concept and then places it within a negative dualistic dichotomy (spiritual vs physical).
Muslims would point to the word choice in the Quran that resonates with the Jewish and Christian scriptures (even demonstrating awareness of the Hebrew) as proof that it is from God. The alternative would be claiming Jewish and Christian religion and discourse was mainstream in Mecca, that Muhammad was intimately familiar with ALL their scriptures, both canonical and apocryphal, and he was well versed in the languages of all those scriptures.
I thought christians in arab peninsula were runaway from rome who refused 2nd Nicea decree
All the Prophets were Muslims who submitted to the will of God:
Qur’an 22:78. And strive for Allah with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your father, Abraham. Allah named you “Muslims” before [in former scriptures] and in this [revelation] that the Messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over the people.
Abraham:
Qur’an 3:67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah]. And he was not of the polytheists.
Jacob and his sons:
Qur’an 2:132-133. 132. And Abraham instructed his sons [to do the same] and [so did] Jacob, [saying], “O my sons, indeed Allah has chosen for you this religion, so do not die except while you are Muslims.”
133. Or were you witnesses when death approached Jacob, when he said to his sons, “What will you worship after me?” They said, “We will worship your God and the God of your fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac - one God. And we are Muslims [in submission] to Him.”
Joseph: Qur’an 21:101. My Lord, You have given me [something] of sovereignty and taught me of the interpretation of dreams. Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous.”
Disicples were Muslims too.
Qur’an 3:52. But when Jesus felt [persistence in] disbelief from them, he said, “Who are my supporters for [the cause of] Allah?” The disciples said,” We are supporters for Allah. We have believed in Allah and testify that we are Muslims [submitting to Him].
Qur’an 5:111. And [remember] when I inspired to the disciples, “Believe in Me and in My messenger Jesus.” They said, “We have believed, so bear witness that indeed we are Muslims [in submission to Allah].”
.
Unitarians and jews submit to God. Are they muslims?
Why should they pay phukin jizyah? Why don't your gud think they should pay Zakat like ordinary muslims though they're following Moses, Abraham ..etc and submit only to monotheistic god???
Muslims believing moses, abraham, jesus as muslims but not believing christians as muslims is phukin funny
{Btw i can understand why muslims do believe trinitarians as not being followers of monotheism}
Plus moral compass of who revealed your book was so phuked up 😂
Among so called prophets, only Jesus was a good guy and your boss was the worst.
God bless you. Muslims are like Ebionite Christians and believe Messiah Isa Ibn Mariyum as a human being who is Prophet of God. Allah’s blessing be on him and his Mother, Ameen.
Even though the owner of the channel tries hard to hide his hard core chrainaity, it's apparent for anyone to see loool
7:54 *_The Quran actually dealt all Christians_*
*"Those who say, “Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary,” have certainly fallen into disbelief. The Messiah ˹himself˺ said, “O Children of Israel! Worship Allah-my Lord and your Lord.”* Quran 5:72
and that exactly matches the real teachings of Jesus
*“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one"* Mark 12:29
Christians need to come back to their senses and follow the real Jesus, not Paul.
Quran was revealed by God to correct the previous teachings thus using what appears to be familiar things to them.
Lastly, No sane Muslim scholar said dhul Qarbnayen is Alexander, so your sources need to be checked to be more credible
Critical thinker: My friend use your name in your life. Islam is for foolish people who follow it blindly
Why are you trusting a man who was pedophile man? who was a theif, a liar, murderer, an adutlerer, companions of Robbers, child molester etc who have NO witnesses for any of his statements !
I am muslim and not here to debate or to insult anyone, i want to say something to the christian people at least accept the oness of god because your religion used to be monolithic religion.
And jesus didnt die for your sins, every human being responsible of his sins and mistakes.
Its illogical way of thinking if someone believe if someone commited a crime or a sin its okay and say its okay "jesus died for my sin". Then where is the message and the guidance of the life then?
God forgives but it you will punished also.
You are people of the book you should be unlike hidusim and other false religions.
God is unseen god sends prophets since Adam to Eve no a single prophet said jesus is god or son of god he is a prophet of your religion.
Jesus (pobh) never said bow down to me.
In-fact jesus fell on his face and prayed to god
if Jesus was a Jew, so knows the oneness of god!
Try to fell on your face the way jesus (pobh) prayed to god. And directly talk to god from your heart.
You will find the peace in your soul.
Allah is almighty n Holy so He can also have a son without a wife. Don't limit His power....
why the god needs a son the trinity is created by roman empire and Paul. He ruin the christian belief. please read about Ebionites and who they are. it's more accurate than the current belief of nowadays Christianity.
@@DotaAvailable Allah is Holy,no matter how much acts you do for the remission of sins,your actions will never level with His holiness. I know Islam says Allah is merciful but it doesn't mean He's unjust,He will judge everyone according to our deeds and the bitter truth is we would never be as Holy as He...so from the beginning of the creation,Allah allowed His children to sacrifice for the atonement of their sins,The Hebrew word “kaphar” in the Old Testament Bible is translated into English as “atonement” and it means “to cover.”( Atonement involved the sacrifice of an innocent animal, and by the shed blood of that animal, God would see the sins of the person(s) who offered the sacrifice, covered.)
After Adam and Eve sinned,the most merciful Allah didn't want to be separated from His creation because it was sin that separated God and His creation,so therefore before they left God said to the serpent that tempted them , "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; they shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise their heel." Which literally means from the woman will come forth a child that will bruise the evil that tempted them and their would be redemption.( As we know Jesus was born of a virgin Mary ,did not fall prey to Satan’s schemes, but lived the perfect life that nobody else could live. To all looking with natural eyes, the cross seemed like another victory for the serpent. But as Jesus rose from the tomb on the third day, he showed that even though he suffered and died, it was Satan who ultimately had his head crushed )
So,God,the Holy of the holies decided to send His only son as the ultimate sacrifice for all of us,do u know the story of Abraham and his son btw that was only a demonstration of what God is actually gonna do later on. As Abraham was about to kill his son as a sacrifice,God stopped him and he provided ram 🐏 as a sacrifice instead of his son." The ram was actually a kinda like a metaphor of His only son that He gonna send for our sins.He loved us all so much that we don't have to earn to get 🎟️ to heaven but the all knowing and all merciful Allah chose to sacrifice his one and only son, allowed His son to be mocked, belittle and crucified n then rose again on the third day so that we could be saved in His son's name,that by the *shedding of His son's blood ,we would find redemption* therefore when you come before God's presence,it's not our actions but His son's sacrifice that would redeem us. This is the goodnews that brings peace 🕊️n redemption. Lastly *salvation isn't achieved through your effort but by His grace*.
Christianity was not much known but they knew about the prophets,about Jesus that's why they kept asking him for miracles as they heard of other prophets and much more with Jesus.
Then the Trinity implied
Jesus as God
Jesus as son of God crucification and death of jesus
Mansions in heaven
You can see that it's partial knowledge. Because mention of Torah,zabur and Injeel but omits the other ktetuviim and prophets books how could that be because prophetic books are too critical to omit from Tanakh.
Even in. Epistles
Paul says
Jesus is second Adam and Quran says same simultitude to Adam.
Maybe your viewers are not familiar with the message of the Quran. Here are some excerpts about Adam and Iblis. Note that Iblis never addresses Adam after ‘the fall.’ There is no YOU YOU YOU… at all.
2:30 When your Lord said to the angels, I am putting a successor on earth, they said, Will You place someone there who will cause corruption on it and shed blood, while we glorify You with Your praise and extol Your holiness? [God] answered, Surely, I know that which you do not know
2:31 He taught Adam all the names, then He set them before the angels and said, Tell Me the names of these, if what you say be true
2:32 They said, Glory be to You; we have no knowledge except whatever You have taught us. You are the All Knowing, the All Wise
2:33 Then He said, O Adam, tell them their names. When Adam had told them the names, God said to the angels, Did I not say to you: I know the secrets of the heavens and of the earth, and I know what you reveal and what you conceal
2:34 When We said to the angels, Bow down before Adam, they all bowed except for Iblis [Satan]. He refused and acted proudly and became an unbeliever
2:35 We said, O Adam! live with your wife in Paradise and eat freely from it anywhere you may wish. Yet do not approach this tree lest you become wrongdoers
2:36 But Satan caused them both to slip through this and thus brought about the loss of their former state. We said, Go down from here as enemies to each other; and on earth you shall have your abode and your livelihood for a while
2:37 Then Adam received some words [of prayer] from his Lord and He accepted his repentance. He is the Forgiving One, the Merciful
2:38 We said, Go down, all of you, from here: then when guidance comes to you from Me, anyone who follows My guidance will have no fear, nor will they griev
2:39 those who deny and reject Our signs shall be the inhabitants of the Fire; therein shall they abide forever.
You don’t need a scholar to find out the true nature of Christianity: deviation from the teachings of Jesus--1, Jesus never told people that he is God; 2 , rejected any law.
According to the earliest authentic Muslim source, Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah, the Quran came out of the mouth of Muhammad between 610CE and his death in 632CE. He was already forty when he had the first revelation and he had spent much of his time previously in religious debate with those around him including his wife's cousin Waraqa. The earliest Meccan verses about the Day of Judgement are taken in places almost word for word from the Gospel of St Matthew which was known to the Nazarene and Ebionite Christians around him at the time in Arabia including Waraqa. The angels and the trumpet and the fiery furnace and the Second Coming of Christ, for example. Islam was clearly regarded early on as a new sect of Christianity. Ibn Ishaq describes detailed conversations between Jafar, Muhammad's cousin, and the Negus of Abyssinia about the Virgin Birth in which Jafar deliberately misleads the Negus into thinking that Muslims believed in the divine nature of Christ when other verses of the Quran clearly condemn Christians as idolators for believing Jesus was the Son of God. With regard to Surah 1, it has been said that this prayer was an adaptation of a Christian prayer to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit condemning heretical sects such as the Collyridians for having gone astray.
I find it difficult to understand what your theses are. Because the Quran clearly emphasizes that it is the continuation of the tradition of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, and therefore it is not surprising that it uses phrases and expressions from the Bible and the Torah.
Second, I am surprised that you explain the obvious instead of focusing on the concept, meaning, and message of the Quran. Do you want to prove that the Quran copied the Bible?! It is particularly intriguing that you see a reference to the trinity in Bismelahe Rahman Rahim with its simple meaning: "In the name of God, the most merciful and the most generous giver of merci". Moreover, when the Quran emphasizes the unity of God so strongly, how does seeing a reference to the Trinity make any sense?
The Quran emphasizes that it uses parables and metaphors on many levels for those trying to understand. Some of these layers look like the skin of a watermelon and some look like its core. That's why Rumi says we chose the core of the Quran and left the skin to the donkeys.
Christianity is false. My channel debunks Christianity and that pagan trinity.
Which pagan?
You don't know pagan.
Pagan is a wide category and your ☪ult itself is pagan
Your ☪ult being abrahamic doesn't mean it isn't pagan
Technically, only two non-pagan religions exist. These are judaism and christianity.
Hinduism, buddhism, shintoism ...etc and even monotheistic zoastrianism are paganisms.
The word 'pagan' was firstly used by christians.
Islam didn't exist when that word was invented.
You can see a big big error in Quran understanding of the trinity
Ie Allah,Mary and Jesus
Then God is not a father to any and Jesus ...God can't have a son because he had no wife.
This is absolute error.in bible God is father and son of God are not biological but this what Quran clear intimates.
No where does bible or xtians teach God had a wife/ consort to be father or Jesus to be done if Gid
Torah, Injeel and Quran are revelations from God. For both Torah and Injeel, what is available now is the translation of the original scripture. That's why there are many writers of the translation. Quran is the only scripture that is available in the original Arabic script and it's preserved for thousands of years through memorisation. Its unique eloquent literary style makes it possible for memorisation and there are millions Quari or reciters of Quran all around the world now. That means if all written text of Quran is completely destroyed it can be reproduced to the original text from these Quari of Quran.
Please note that Gospel is the mixture of 3 things. One, Injeel which is the word of God, two, what Jesus said and three what others saw in Jesus. It's a third party account of the above three.
In Islam, Quran is the revelation from God. Hadeeth is what prophet Mohammed (pbuh) said and Seerah is the historical details of
the prophet and his companions.
Quran has the highest accuracy of preservation, Hadeeth is only accepted if authentic narrative is confirmed by reliable sources and Seerah is taken only at the historical context.
What Is Islam?💗
What is the meaning of the word Islam?
Islam means submission, humbling oneself, and obeying commands and heeding prohibitions without objection, sincerely worshipping Allah alone, believing what He tells us and having faith in Him.
❇️
What is the meaning of the words “la ilaha illa Allah Muhammadun Rasul Allah”?
“la ilaha illa Allah” means nothing worshipped is worthy of worship except Allah. “Muhammadun Rasul Allah” is the assertion of the message of Prophet Muhammad and to believe in it and to adhere to it by speech, action and faith.
❇️
Why did Allah send Prophet Muhammad?
Differences and disputes arose among the Children of Israel. They introduced alterations and changes in their beliefs and laws. Thus truth was extinguished and falsehood prevailed, oppression and evil became widespread, and people needed a religion that would establish truth, destroy evil and guide people to the straight path, therefore Allah sent Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as Allah said
“And We have not sent down the Book (the Quran) to you (O Muhammad), except that you may explain clearly unto them those things in which they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a folk who believe.” [al-Nahl 16:64]
❇️
Why did Allah send the Quran?
Allah sent the Quran to His Messenger, to guide people and bring them forth from darkness to light by the will of their Lord. Allah says :
“(This is) a Book which We have revealed unto you (O Muhammad) in order that you might lead mankind out of darkness (of disbelief and polytheism) into light (of belief in the Oneness of Allah and Islâmic Monotheism) by their Lord’s Leave to the path of the All Mighty, the Owner of all praise” [Ibrahim 14:1]
❇️
Do muslims worship Muhammad peace and blessings of God be upon him)?
No . Muslims do not worship Muhammad (peace be upon him), or any other prophet. Muslims believe in all prophets including Adam, Noah, Abraham, David, Solomon, Moses, and Jesus, peace be upon them all. Muslims believe that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was the last of the Prophets. They believe that only God is to be worshipped, not human beings nor anything else.
❇️
What Are the Pillars of Islam?
There are five pillars of Islam:
1- The testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah;
2- Establishing regular prayer;
3- Paying the zakah;
4- Hajj (pilgrimage) and
5- Fasting Ramadan.

Allah say in quran
Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allāh is Islām. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allāh, then indeed, Allāh is swift in [taking] account.
So if they argue with you, say, "I have submitted myself to Allāh [in Islām], and [so have] those who follow me." And say to those who were given the Scripture and [to] the unlearned,[119] "Have you submitted yourselves?" And if they submit [in Islām], they are rightly guided; but if they turn away - then upon you is only the [duty of] notification. And Allāh is Seeing of [His] servants.

Allah will judge Jesus and Jesus will testify against the Christians (including Collyridians) and Catholics on Judgement Day:
Qur'an 5:116-118. And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah ?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.
117. I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness.
118. If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

Astray people are not Christians, the father of Abraham was called astray in the Quran and he was not a Christian.
Jesus Christ came to this World to Replace and Remove all Religions and to Save Humanity from the meaningless Rituals of all Religions…!!!
Because Jesus Christ is the Word of God (Son of God - Yahweh)…!!!
Jesus Christ said to Humanity that, I am the Way, I am the Truth, I am the Life…!!!
Jesus Christ said, I am the Way and nobody reaches in Heaven except through me…!!! If anyone follows me, he will certainly reach in Heaven…!!!
Jesus Christ said, I am the Truth and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you Free…!!! Jesus Christ said, I am the Life and Whoever eats my Flesh and drink my Blood has eternal Life and I will Raise him to Life on the Last Day…!!
Those seven ‘I am’ sayings were put on the lips of Jesus by the authors of what is known as the book of John. The authors are anonymous and biblical scholars tell us the book was written about the year 95. That’s over sixty years after Jesus. Those sayings are only found in only one text, John. If Jesus said those things why can’t we find them in Mark, Matthew and Luke. I challenge you to quote something like that from those books. You people love to quote that book because it is all ‘I am this’ and ‘I am that.’ There is no real teaching of Jesus in John like what we find in the synoptic gospels.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
So Jesus is a just a gate keeper. Just another wall between man and God. I for one would like to connect directly with God because I don’t see a need for a mediator be it Jesus or anyone else. They just get in the way. We Muslims worship God alone and there is no mediator or intercessors.
Jesus was supposed to have said:
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.
That’s just sick. That’s cannibalism be it literal or figurative. Thank but no thank you. You keep your cannibalism to yourself. I for one have no use for such, obscene, primitive and pagan belief.

I agree your comment to a certain extent.
Btw believing a book told by a man who married a 6 yrs old gal is funny.
You see shit staining on the face of other people but can't see whats staining on your face, buddy 😁
Islam is an example of the ABC's. Anyone but Christ.
Islam began as an anti-trinitarian Arab Judeo-Christian sect promoted by the Arab empire. Arabs compiled quran from pre-islamic Arabic literature mostly derived from syro-aramaic Christian texts and folklores and also from Babylonian Talmud.
But we have Christ in our religion and he’s a human because duh. Some people are consumed by human worship that they attribute pooping as an action of god.
@slightlyopinionated8107 you have a man named Isa son of Miriam not Christ. Do you even know what the word Christ means?
@@littledeer1206 Christ is the Greek word for messiah. Messiah in Arabic is masih which means one who is wiped. Tradition has it that he was wiped with oil or some oil based perfume. So question that asks itself is how can god be anointed by himself who is also god? And more important than all of this, with Christianity’s own name being influenced by the Greek word “Christ”, did they also take influence from the Greek religion with their triad gods or was it actually taken from the Romans and their triad gods?
@@slightlyopinionated8107 Isa ibn Maryam of quran is Not Jesus of the Bible.
This is from your beloved Bible about Adam and Eve. Every time I read that story it leaves me with the thought of ‘this was made up.’ Yahweh is not omniscient. He is clueless. Yahweh curses the snake and everything else. Yahweh told a lie but the snake told the truth about eating from the tree. Adam was supposed to have died after eating from the tree but he lived almost a thousand years after the event. Crazy isn’t it.
3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God say, ‘You shall not eat from any tree in the garden’?” 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, nor shall you touch it, or you shall die.’ ” 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not die, 5 for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,[a] knowing good and evil.” 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was a delight to the eyes and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.
8 They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 He said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” 11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent tricked me, and I ate.” 14 The Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this,
cursed are you among all animals
and among all wild creatures;
upon your belly you shall go,
and dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman
and between your offspring and hers;
he will strike your head,
and you will strike his heel.”
16 To the woman he said,
“I will make your pangs in childbirth exceedingly great;
in pain you shall bring forth children,
yet your desire shall be for your husband,
and he shall rule over you.”
17 And to the man[b] he said,
“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
about which I commanded you,
‘You shall not eat of it,’
cursed is the ground because of you;
in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread
until you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.”
20 The man named his wife Eve[c] because she was the mother of all living. 21 And the Lord God made garments of skins for the man[d] and for his wife and clothed them.
22 Then the Lord God said, “See, the humans have become like one of us, knowing good and evil, and now they might reach out their hands and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever”- 23 therefore the Lord God sent them forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which they were taken. 24 He drove out the humans, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a sword flaming and turning to guard the way to the tree of life.
The difference between the Bible and the Quran is huge the size of the Grand Canyon. And you want us to believe God borrowed from this book.
The Qur’an is the words of Allah. This is the opinion of those who seek guidance other than what the Prophet has brought from his Lord. These are the opinion of those who didn’t believe in the existence of God and don’t believe in the Sacredness of the Abrahamic Scriptures…. Fool scholars who imagined themselves to be the true source of knowledge well in fact they are just looking for other guidance apart from what was revealed from the heavens and i swear by God that if u keep on criticizing the scriptures and religions by denying their Divine origins u will end up dying with empty hearts and confused minds and u will regret what you have been doing for all eternity..
I am a Muslim and I believe in the Prophethood of Muhammad(PBUH) and all the prophets who came before Him…
Arabs are semites and just like the Biblical Hebrew people and all the semitic nations they all are descendants of Prophet Noah… they might be lost for sometimes and start worshiping imaginary gods and idols but they concept of having “One Supreme Unique God” who is the source of all was not new to them..
Islam’s belief system about God is purest form of Monotheism and is the most logical among all the Abrahamic Religions and if u will keep on looking for other guidance apart from God’s guidance then there can be nothing beside Guidance than misguidance and astray.
When i read Quran first time i saw much intertextual connection and much references to torah and abit of ketuviim but hardly any on prophets except jonah
I thout Quran csn be made to line with bible but discovered muslims were simply liars.
Example trinity
Not in bible
Not also explained in bible
But
1.there is one God called father of us all in tanakh and gospels
2.God has a Spirit proceeding from him who is a seperate being and has some divine attributes ie
holy
omnipresent,
Gives life
Pre exists creation
So is divine and eternal since is from Allah
Messiah is
Holy
Proceeded from allah
Pre existed
Gives life
Is allahs word
Is allahs spirit
Hence divine
The spirit and messiah are not God but divine
This is a clear positipn in binle and Quran
Allah ordered angels to prostraste to Adam to worship him because he had put of his spirit in him
Also in bible the messiah is sitted at Gods right hand high and exalted like Adam this time men bow their knees to worship him by Gods order
Muslims failure to explain this why did Allah order angels to bow to Adam and now you say not messiah a king?
20:35 - Yes, the Quran communicates that Allah led the devil astray. Allah doesn't send a delusion to the devil - Allah himself led the devil Astray. That is why he's the best deceiver.
For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,
- Thessalonians 2:11
The Lord said to him, ‘How?’ And he said, ‘I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ Then He said, ‘You are to entice him and also prevail. Go and do so.’
- Kings 22:22
Now therefore, behold, the Lord has put a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the Lord has proclaimed disaster against you."
- Kings 22:23
O Lord, You have deceived me and I was deceived;
You have overcome me and prevailed.
I have become a laughingstock all day long;
Everyone mocks me.
- Jeremiah 20:7
Then I said, "Ah, Lord God! Surely You have utterly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, ‘You will have peace’; whereas a sword touches the throat."
- Jeremiah 4:10
The Arabic word bushra and its derivations are not strictly Christian concept as if the word is copyrighted. It appears many times in the Quran:
6:48 We have sent messengers only as deliverers of good news and as warners. ا مُبَشِّرِینَ وَمُنذِرِینَۖ Whoever believes and does good, there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.
6:49 But those who deny Our signs will be afflicted with punishment for their rebelliousness.
17:105 We have sent down the Quran in truth, and with the truth it has come down. We have sent you ˹O Prophet˺ only as a deliverer of good news and a warner.
وَبِٱلۡحَقِّ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ وَبِٱلۡحَقِّ نَزَلَۗ وَمَاۤ أَرۡسَلۡنَـٰكَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرࣰا وَنَذِیرࣰا
There are many more verses in the Quran using the word bashara.
Your argument is nonsensical.
