I am a western 20 year old girl, and I’ve fallen in love with this channel. This video specifically is something thats made me feel more comfortable in learning about Islam. Its truly such a beautiful religion, yet so many people don’t understand it and assume stereotypes. I hope Allah will guide the assuming and teach them the true love of Islam.
The work of mainstream media manipulators. People should learn about Islam by themselves. Peace on you, young sister and Ameen, for your prayers.
Lol need to change the username
@@suhelgmz7563 I know, I’ve had it since I was 13. I use to think I was an edgelord.
@oct.scorpio i see you changed the name .. good on you.. dont worry, we all had weird phases
Welcome to Islam my sister
Today at our masjid a ten year old girl reverted to Islam mashallah. Only her dad became Muslim after seeing what's happening in Gaza. She also was amazed and was in shock so as a young 10 year old girl Allah chose her to continue her life as a Muslim. May Allah make the rest of her family revert too❤❤❤
Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Edit: 3 months passed and guess what!! This girls younger sister also became Muslim, she is I think 7 or 8 years old mashallah❤
Aamin 🤲🤲🤲
So tell me, which Arabic version of the quran do you use and why that one? Or do you not even know that there are some 40 different versions of the Arabic quran we know of? Of course all these qurans were written by unknown authors. And how do you deal with all the mistakes, discrepancies, inconsistencies and contradictions in that quran as well as the approval of evil such as raping women who have been captures in battle (surah 33:50) which is adultery and wife beating (surah 4:34) as well as child marriage (surah 65:4) which means that Mohammed and his allah approved of raping little prepubescent girls. And we see that Mohammed led by example when he married a 6 year old child and then raped that child when it was just 9 years old. Clearly Mohammed disqualified himself as a prophet of GOD by the evil he perpetrated. And remember all of islam is only based what Mohammed maybe recited and how he lived.
So tell me, why do you believe that following Mohammed will get you to be with GOD in heaven on judgement day my friend? And remember on judgement day there will be ONLY heaven where GOD is or the other place, so where does that leave you my friend?
In the Quran and The Bible it's clear that Jesus is in heaven. But when it comes to Mohammed it's unknown what happened to him after death. So if he is in hell whoever believes him and his religion are going to hell...right. Think Muslims...
@@Jesus_SOG_he was poisoned to death by his wives for cheating on them and then threatening them with Quran. Sorry dear we all believe in evolution and tailbones like monkeys 🙈 and appendix like cows 🐄
@@Jesus_SOG_ You are confusing heaven with paradise. Both are different.
So excited to have found you Dr. Tamara…. This is Saira from Pakistan. Don’t know if you remember, I was your student in Damascus during ‘95/‘97. Lost touch with you guys after coming to Pakistan as no internet etc, but finding you today on UA-cam has made me so happy 😊….Alhamdolillah …May Allah Bless you !
MashaAllah that is so beautiful! She does a wonderful Q&A on Islamic Feelings podcast. It centers around love in Islam. Asalamu alaikum!
Wow! As a Pakistani I didn't know people travelled to Syria for Islamic learning. I know there have been a lot of great scholars from Syria but Pakistanis rarely travel to other countries for Islamic learning...Great to know that a sister from back home lived in Syria to learn Islam..
Jazakallahu khair sisters. Such inspiring content.
Myself I am a muslim revert from India born in a Hindu family. Alhamdulillah I have great emotional support from my parents in my journey to Allah. I have developed interest in getting into Islamic studies in upcoming years for further deep understanding on Islam. In Sha Allah, one day, with the blessing of Allah, I will go for studies on my own.
This video gave me a huge hope as a Muslim revert to know that for reverts too there are opportunities to do islamic studies.❤
❤ Masha Allah

'Hello! Bible is corrupt format, you people hide many things and speaks blindly
It is Allah swt the God of the whole universe who runs everything, Jesus pbu has no powers unless with help of Allah swt. Allah swt has chosen many thousands of prophets, Jesus (pbu), According to christians belief: Naujubillah, Jesus as God, but God died after Jews killed him as per bible, Only God is eternal, no one can touch him, true God has no partners, neither parents nor childrens. As per bible, Christian heaven, there every 10 women, 5 are wise and 5 are bad, they were asked to get the oil for their lamp, 5 of them gets the oil and 5 of them could not, 5 who could not were given entry to heaven, heaven doors closed 🤣, your mother and your sisters or wife also one of them? 🤣, there 2million plus errors in bible 🤣🤣🤣, All who didnt took the shahada or not believed in Allah swt, such as Jews, buddhists, hindus, christains and other than Islam like any pagans, atheists, idol worshipers are satanic followers 😂😂😂😂
May Allah bless you bro 🤍

Jesus also will die in the last day situations after being a leader of Muslims for 40 year then be with our greatest prophet
I literally gasped in excitment when I saw dr tamara grey's name on this episode. She is amazing allahuma barik. May Allah accept it all from you all ameen
Honestly, our people deserve so much better. Yet, we are villainised by the very nations who claim to be "humane"...generalisations are so harmful. Dr Tamara should be very proud of her spirit and compassion

Assalam Alaikum welcome to all neo muslim sisters my name is Muhammad Waqas and I am an Islamic scholar and I am 33 years old I love neo muslim people very much and I want to marry a neo muslim girl and we Both should serve Islam together and invite more people to Islam. Thanx
She's summed it up the struggle so perfectly. Makes a world of difference to your imaan when you are taught something from a man vs a woman's perspective
Dr Tamara gray is a remarkable woman. I luv her and how she shares her knowledge to all May Allah bless her always and let rabata reach all the women all over the world ❤
Dr Tamara Gray is truly one of the best female scholars along with Dr Haifaa may Allah bless them both for their benefitting the Ummah
Assalamu alikom Anese Tamara, this is Razan from Damascus, I don’t know if you remember me but I used to come with Nada to some of your lessons at your house..And you used to always make us very delicious cake. In those days I was always interested to know the story of your converting to Islam but was young and shy to ask and subhaan Allah after almost 27 years I finally and by chance learnt about your story, Thank you for sharing it with us and THANK YOU Dr Tamara for speaking highly of the Syrian women AND for the Cake you used to make us. الله يحفظك ويخليكي لولادك يارب 🤲
And I would like also to thank the channel.
Subhanallah I have just been saying that I really want to become a student of knowledge and this video popped up. Subhanallah I was just feeling so overwhelmed not knowing where to start and how I can do that with two very young children plus working on growing my family. JazakAllah khairan this was such a great video.
السلام عليك باذن الله يوفقك الله اخت

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
This is POWERFUL!!!!
JazakAllah Sisters!!!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful
MashAllah!!!!!
I remember when I was little I was very interested in religion but my classmates used to make fun of me
I left then the love of religion and I became Atheist
Long story short
I am revert now and I am grateful to learn about Islam
However I see my path was clear when I was a young girl….. unfortunately I didn’t have the support but actually the contrary
I feel like I want to go to Africa a learn about my religion and the language of my religion InshAllah
Allah will show me the way!!!
Allah guide you inchallah

Why you just want Muhammed peace be upon on him to be in hell, is that how good Christian speaks about prophets ,,, we just ask God to guide u to the right path @@Jesus_SOG_
May Allah ease your journey ❤.
I have known her since the Syria days. She's wonderful, Masha Allah ❤
l love you Dr. Tamara❤ May Allah bless you for being young girls inspiration
I am from Syria, from Damascus. This made me cry to hear about my country
No ending thanks to you all
May Allah SWT bless and reward you all
Truly inspired by Dr. Tamara Gray's insights on empowering women through Islamic education. Leveraging digital spaces for Islamic education is the way forward. Would love to create something meaningful in this space.
Masha allah, I am sorry happy when two sisters hosting woih niqab, my son is looking for such Muslim girls who follow our deen 100%
ممكن اعرف ابنك
Niqab is cultural not religious, the Hands and the face are allowed to be uncovered.
May Allah bless all with success, health, happiness, patience and strength 🤲🏽
Greetings of peace on you sisters, may Allah عز وجل reward you for the great job you're doing.
اللهم احفظ أخواتنا المسلمات في كل مكان
Mashallah. Ummah need more Muslim
Scholars especially from Western Worlds for native converts as well as for Muslim diaspora.
@Sheiswise @1541965 there are more than six verses in the bible where Jesus refers to himself as Alpha and Omega.
Revelation 22:13
Revelation 1:8
Revelation 21:6-7
Revelation 1:17-18
Isaiah 44:6
Isaiah 48:12
Jesus can't be christian because Christians follow Jesus and Jesus can't follow himself like your Allah who even swears by anything(Quran 38&39) .
Quran 69:40 if you an Arab and can read Arabic text it says that the quran is verily the word of a noble messenger (and not a recitation from Allah as the English translation puts) . According to this verse the Quran is not from Allah but from Mohamed.
Jesus himself said (John 8:12) "l am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
Finally what makes your miserable life as a Muslims very tricky is that ( Matthew 28:19-20) therefore go and make disciples of all nations (including followers of the Kaaba like you) baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy spirit. Do Muslims baptise if Jesus was a Muslim?? Did Jesus kiss the black stone like Muslims do.??
So continue dreaming about being given 72 virgins to fck in janna becoz how sure are you one of the virgins won't be your own mother or sister or aunt. Don't forget Allah is the best of deceivers.
Final nail in your Islamic coffin
John 14:12
"Truly, truly, I say to you,whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. So what miracles did your prophet do ?? Or is splitting the moon (solar eclipse that we see today) a miracle from your prophet?. Ok how many Muslims perform miracles in the name of Jesus (of cause zero). In Christianity even today we have millions of miracles happening around the world in the name of Jesus, not Mohammed not Allah or jibril.
SubhanAllah...Such an inspiring story of Dr Tamara...May Allah bless her more and more...She's such a beautiful human...and Allah reward her and guide us all so that we all end up in Janna'h...InshAllah!
00:00 Solid Islamic learning for women empowers them to contribute to culture and address life's challenges.
02:23 Dr. Tamara Gray shares her experience of leaving Damascus due to war and settling in the United States, where she faced challenges and observed the unchanged situation of Muslim women.
07:08 The Arabic language has deep complexity and diverse meanings
09:26 Being a Muslim woman in the 80s in the US was a frustrating experience due to lack of access to learning and community.
14:38 Muslim women bring forth culture through solid Islamic learning
16:53 The importance of identifying and replacing myths for personal growth
20:40 Starting the journey of Islamic studies as a woman can take a long time due to responsibilities, but it is important to relax and understand that it's a continuous learning process.
22:30 The journey of learning Arabic and Islam for Western women
26:33 Revolutionizing Islamic studies with modern teaching methodologies
28:36 Online spaces belong to Allah as much as physical spaces
Interesting and informative interview with sister, Dr. Tamara Gray thank you sisters for the work you are doings. Here below is an insight about Arabic Language.
ربط: برط: طبر: طرب
ربط: رباط: مرابط:يربط: أوربط
The great Arabic scholar Ahamad Ibn Al Khalil Al Fraheedy, in his work of Almanac called Al Ain.
He used to go to the Arabian desert, and kept playing with word permutation, as show above, then he tries to find if there were any usage of such derivative words in the Original and pure, Arabic, then he included them in his encyclopedic work. Unfortunately, that book was lost, but it's description of the methodology is kept in other works of his contemporary.
Amazing bayan Masha Allah almighty Allah bless and reward you sister ameen 🤲🕋
1st time listening to Sister Dr. Tamara. Mashallah, I have to do this again.
ماشاءالله و تقبل الله تعالى 🇵🇸
MashAllah! For the sake of Allah I love Sheikha Tamara Gray. I joined the Rabaata newsletter months ago, not really planning to sign up for a course though. And subhanAllah - Allah led me to join my first ever Islamic course a few weeks again. JazakAllah khayran Sheikha and your whole team. Listening to this video made me more eager to continue my Islamic knowledge journey
Allah bless you all ❤❤❤
Only one path network just differentiates in podcasts. Only females and only males. Keep it up!!! Others mixup both
بارك الله فيكن ورفع قدركن في الدارين يا شيخاتنا

Subhanallah, Masha Allah, she has so much Nur on her face ❤ may Allah bless Dr Tamara.
Thank you so much for your work Dr. Gray ❤
Jazakunallah khoyron katsiron for this wonderful podcast with Dr. Tamara. Thanks for the enlightenment from Dr. Tamara . I an Indonesian born muslim in my early 64 now, realize that I need to seriously learn Arabic so I can read, learn, and practice Allah's firman in Al Quranul Kareem. Alhamdulillah I know how to read the Quran (although very late in learning it,.. I was already 56 years old) and Alhamdulillah Allah gave me a chance to share my knowledge in reading the Quran (in it's original Arabic of course). It's important that we find friends and circles that really encourage us to practice Islam, to recite Quran, to learn all the unbelievable vast Islamic studies.. Take one step at a time, but stay very hungry to learn more.
JazakaAllahu for very useful content!!! May Allah revord you all! ♡♡♡

15:03 Indeed the colonial era had such devastating impact on our societies and seeking of knowledge.. I often wonder how were our societies before ! ..
but im feeling that there is a rise in youth ... mostly women ...they're getting really interested in their deen and doing real طلب علم شرعي ... inshallah may the future be better for us and we see more women scholars and
Waw this is energizing story😊😊
Very inspiring and wishing Allah help you for the betterment of Ummah.
Alhumdulillah zazakallah khair my sister welcome to Islam
Thank you, Sisters.....May Allah who is Most Merciful and Most Gracious grant you Ease and grant you Wisdom. IMHO I believe that critical thinking is often viewed as the enemy of Faith but your efforts to bring Women into the Scholastic and Research Efforts demonstrates that it need not necessarily be so. I have found my Islam to be a challenge and a comfort, though the single greatest stumbling block is there inflexible mindset pressed by years of Male and Tribal dominance. I hope you are a sign that Islam can be allowed to be all that it can be. FWIW.
There is a really important point that this lady raised regarding the Islamic heritage and how educational system tried to separate youth and Muslims in general from the Arabic language. I am an individual from Yemen, Arabic is my mother tongue and I know نحو very well, but when it comes to understanding Quran and some ancient Arabic terms, I found it easier to read English translations of Quran than reading long tafsir texts. I don't know whose fault is this, but we are in a very bad situation.
takbiiir..
jazakakum allah khair very helpful
Barakkallah fi umrik❤❤❤❤❤❤
May Rabb bless you all sisters
Masha Allah. May Allah reward the team working to spread the word to Allah, the Creator.
الله أكبر الله أكبر الله أكبر ولله الحمد والشكر على إسلامك أختنا العزيزة ، بارك الله فيك وجزاك الله كل خير وابعد عنك كل ضير ، وثبتك الله تعالى وإيانا على التوحيد الصحيح بشروطه ولوازمه ( الولاء والبراء ) وأتمنى لك ولكل من وجد الحق والتزم بالإسلام الحياة الهنئة والسعادة في الدينا والآخرة .

what does that mean
I guess it means we also need to be aware of what other things in the 'corpus' says for a fuller context... in other words, learning don't stop 🙂
I seem smart about islam. Care to debate Christian Prince?
