Christian Reads Quran (Ep. 10)

[@daxvanderwal]

Concluding thoughts Surah 31 - Observation - Nonbelievers in Christianity and Islam would be called “deaf” or “blind” - people who don’t really want the truth. Surah 32 - Observation - Christianity and Islam share several worldview pre-suppositions. Surah 33 - Observation - When is polygamy allowed? Surah 34 - Observation - Why I’m not convinced that Muhammad is a prophet…

I wouldn’t accept the idea of trinaity since it wouldn’t make since if all of them were Equal Since if Jesus is dependent on the father than Jesus can’t be god If Jesus is independent than he is a separate being But let’s be nice and forget about trinity for a moment since you accept that trinaity doesn’t have to apply to logic Another problem in Christianity is the fact that GOD the perfect is in an IMperfect body in an imperfected world If Jesus has two natures these to natures contradicts each other HUMAN NATURE: limited knowlegde and power and wisdom and might GODS NATURE: unlimited knowledge and power and independent Jesus in Matthew 24:36 he doesn’t know the hour He was killed on the cross you could say that only the flesh died and the his spirit is still alive But that isn’t special at all death just means the the soul leaving the body in islam and we all die when it comes to flesh but not spirit.So does god die and have limited knowledge when he was killed on the cross he said in Matt 27:46 and Luke 15:34 He said my GOD my GOD why hast thou forsaken me So does god leave an innocent person to have the burden of sin of the whole world on his back how is that fair And why does Jesus (god) say my god my god in the bible how does god have a god

[@khalidalmalek4808]

The reason the tribe of Muhammad rejected him was purely arrogance since Muhammad is known to be honest even after his prophethood he was known as a righteous and kind man His first wife married him purely for his honesty and righteousness He the prophet peace be upon him when he said to his tribe am a prophet he asked a question before claiming to be a prophet He was on mountain or a small hill when he asked the following question Muhammad (PBUH) said would you believe me if I were to tell you that there’s an entire army behind me They all agreed that they will believe him But when it comes to there stone gods They reject him just because there economy and culture depend on these false pagan gods To me there just stupid to you it may make sense to disbelief in a man who is known for his honesty kindness and wisdom He himself predicted many things he predicted that his home country Makkah or Saudi Arabia in General will become green once again Look it up you find photos of Saudi Arabia marking it self green And if you dig deep enough you will find scientists say that at one point in time Saudi Arabia was actually green now tell me how in the entire world he would know that at his time ❤😊

When it comes to polygamy… you have to look when the verses were revealed. This concept when explained makes a lot of sense. One small example of many others that I can give you is during times of warfare. Men go to war and die off, leaving not enough men for women to marry, and in order to avoid women from going into prostitution and to avoid women from not having a husband . Men can marry multiple women. With that being said the man must treat each woman equally… This is not seen in the Muslim world in todays times, and if it is it is very rare. If you dig deeper you will understand Allah’s wisdom

True, but he never actually said one thing in the first Testament Trinity was never mentioned, and it was never mentioned until the Bible came.

He can literally research on it in depth, but it really was made up they just ruined jesus peace be upon hims message literlly changed it and flipped into a lie Just like the jews long ago believed osirus was the son of god this believe whas been happening before jesus wer people make humans creation of allah gods and sons of god literlly allah is 1!-' and allah canot be seen by us period not innthis life even moses never got to see allah his to powerful to show himself the favt u believe allah will be created become a baby and be taken care of by his mother who was impure for 40 days.

You can say they can't be compared but you didn't really give an explanation as to why. The point is, God can be one in one way and multiple in another way depending on what you're referring to.

As a Muslim, it makes sense to me that Muhammad's name had been deliberately removed from the original revelation either by the Jews or priests I don't know. I don't mean to offend you or disrespect your belief. but I wanted to share mine. The Jews having traveled and settled in Medina shortly prior to Islam raises a few eyebrows for me because they had no business in Arabia. To get the full picture, I strongly recommend reading *authentic* hadiths about the beginning of Islam. Regarding the prophet having many wives, his life wasn't flowery, like gaining money, he didn't get any money out of this, he was poor, and was harmed, struck and ridiculed. His own uncles turned against him and tried negotiating with him, people and children thew stones at him in Taif, he was obligated to deliver the message and to pray the whole night every night until his feet were giving out. In fact he was highly esteemed in Quraish before preaching Allah. But you know what a false prophet wouldn't do? Is fight along Muslims in the front lines like he did and was injured many times as a result. Best wishes.

[@ArabicLearning-MahmoudGa3far]

In 1:25 the answer that we should give to "If the Quran said that God is a trinity, would you accept it?" I believe the correct answer is yes, as the verse 81 of chapter 43 (Al-Zokhrof) says: «Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If the Most Compassionate ˹really˺ had offspring, I would be the first worshipper.”» And the 4rd verse of chapter 39 (Al-Zommar) also poses the question of God having a son: «Had it been Allah’s Will to have offspring, He could have chosen whatever He willed of His creation. Glory be to Him! He is Allah-the One, the Supreme.» It's something that one can only know through revelation, so once he trusts the message he accepts what the message says about that

Dear Dax, you are doing a good job. keep looking and exploring with the sincere intentions and you will reach to the truth. that's what we Muslims believe. we don't believe in things magically happening . the journey can take days or minutes for some people and years for others and that is alright. we believe that God sent us here with a predisposition or fitrah, which means that we have all the basic elements and concepta inside us that we need to find and discover HIM and Quran tell us to reflect and contemplate on the creation and use our intellect without any biases.

Don't be ignorant bro, ever since the beginning of theology, no prophet has ever preached trinity before including prophet Jesus.

Hi Dax, Just binge watched all 10 episodes of your quest to learn the Quran and truly enjoyed seeing how much you've managed to learn about Islam so far. Great effort. I'm sure since you're halfway through reading the Quran you are able to see a very clear and consistent message in Islam of the Oneness of God and all of His attributes without any ambiguity or need for outside interpretation. The book has avoided any tampering and is preserved in the original language that it was revealed in and has been memorized by millions of Muslims globally word for word. Since you are looking into the bible to find Prophet Muhammed Pbuh being prophesied, i respectfully would want you to ask yourself: Who are the authors of the bible you have today? How much of the bible revealed to Jesus (AS) has been preserved today? Does the bible have any blatant contradictions? If God is perfect, should His book be perfect? The Quran continually asks the reader to think and ponder, so keep comparing and contrasting what you see in both books and i pray you find the truth that your heart agrees with. Keep up the great content.

Hey dax , happy to see the 10th episode of your journey uploaded . There is a fallacy in your first question.. The Quran is verifiable , so there is no mention of triune god in all the Quran so , never we will find that in the first place to accept it or reject it . Your question should be , which is your source of truth , reason only , scripture only or a mix of both . In islam , reason and scripture should congregate and complete each other . So God is one in nature and in person and have multiple attributes . That we can fin in the Quran easly . So oneness is reasonable and scriptural . Triune god is an interpretation of God in the bible not a textual evidence . I can argue that oneness of God can be interpreted and "theologised" from the bible itself .

[@Omzzz85]

Hey Dax, I hope you’re doing well. Thank you for engaging in the last episode, it was a great discussion. Concerning your question about whether we should take reason over God’s revelation. Reason and revelation go hand in hand. God created logic and gave it to us so that we can use it. It would be considered contaminated if the Quran was constantly appealing to reason and logic and then gives us an illogical proposition. That would be a contradiction. I’m not sure why you keep insisting that the Trinity isn’t a contradiction, while we all know a married bachelor will never align with logic. Concerning Allah’s attributes making Him multiple, that’s completely false, my friend. There isn’t a single passage in the Quran that states such a thing. Rather we have explicit ayahs that say He’s One, which means the opposite (multiplicity) can never happen. The topic about Muhammad (saw) being allowed as many wives as he wants isn’t correct. In that same Surah (33:52) we read the ruling that he’s not allowed to marry anymore. His society didn’t object to his wives, so he could have had more and never brought this ayah (verse) preventing him from getting more. Concerning polygamy in general. It’s allowed when the man can be completely just between their wives. Emotionally, financially, and physically capable of having multiple families. To give you a full picture, the Muslim’s predisposition shouldn’t be perversity. The Muslim shouldn’t want to marry a second wife because of such reasons, but it is taught to be in the way the Prophet did, and that’s to tie families together, create alliances, prevent problems (tribal fights), or to take care of widows. These could be considered the advantages of it. There’s no advantage for the individual other than carrying an extra set of responsibilities and opening a new pathway for blessings or sins. The majority of Muslims don’t practice polygamy for multiple reasons, and the decline was probably gradual, just like it gradually declined for Judaism over the centuries. Your sincerity about Muhammad is highly appreciated. To test Muhammad, there are really four possibilities. He’s a charlatan, deluded, deceived by satan (popular Christian claim), or telling the truth. Concerning your contention about Muhammad being in the Bible. This is a major topic within itself, however, one major point of many is that there is no proof that the Jews and Christians at the time of Muhammad were reading the exact same book we read today. We can see that there wasn’t a unified universally accepted text for either group. We’ve seen the authorities in Christianity trying to make it universal through Councils and Synods, but how sure are we that each community got the memo, or even accepted it? Of course, this topic is major and we can certainly chat more about it sometime. Have a great evening and looking forward to your thoughts.

BarkaAllah fik Akhi for your efforts that you always answer his questions and observations, may Allah bless you and reward you.

[@daxvanderwal]

I was looking forward to your comment! I hope life is going well for you The trinity isn't a married bachelor - you have to demonstrate that person and being are the same thing (which they clearly aren't). Saying that God is one in one way yet multiple in another is no contradiction. Just like Allah being in in one way or multiple in another (as in he has multiple attributes. I'm not saying this makes Allah more than one, I'm just saying if you ask how many attributes he has it is more than one.) I appreciate your polygamy thoughts! I got the "Muhammad can have as many wives as he wants" idea from scholar Seyed Nasr. Since the Quran points the Jews and Christians back to their scripture to find Muhammad in there the logical conclusion is that their texts could be trusted. And the texts we have in the modern day are based on manuscripts that came before the 7th century - so we do in fact have what they had in the 7th century. Also, if this was a reason to accept Muhammad's prophethood why would Allah not preserve these books so that we can actually see if Muhammad is in them or not?

[@Omzzz85]

@@daxvanderwal Hello Dax, glad to know that I made an impression :) When we are talking about someone married, then automatically they can’t be a bachelor. The Father is immortal, while the son came into existence and left it. The Father is Omniscient, while the son is not. The Father is self-sufficient, while the son is not and needs earthly things to survive. God is the necessary being, while the son is not. This list can go on for a while and they are all clear in showing what the Father is and what Jesus isn't. All of this is a good reason why I say it’s a married bachelor. Any candidate that doesn’t have all the 99 names/attributes, then they can’t be Allah, even if one is lacking. That doesn’t sound like a multiplicity does it? Concerning Muhammad’s polygamy. What the Quran teaches is what we go by and it is clear in 33:52 that Muhammad was not allowed to get new wives or replace his wives. Concerning your last point, I’d like to highlight some parts of your response. “Since the Quran points the Jews and Christians back to their scripture to find Muhammad in there the logical conclusion is that their texts could be trusted.” Sure, but the question is how do we know what the Jews and Christians in Medina considered scripture is what you consider scripture 1400 years later? “And the texts we have in the modern day are based on manuscripts that came before the 7th century” True, but there were other texts too that people in the past considered scripture. Even today not all Christians consider the exact same books as scripture. Catholics, Protestants, Ethiopian Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox all have different number of books in their Bibles. We wouldn’t have had these councils in the past discussing which books should be considered doctrine if the text was unified as you believe. “Also, if this was a reason to accept Muhammad's prophethood why would Allah not preserve these books so that we can actually see if Muhammad is in them or not?” As the Quran says, the rabbis and monks were entrusted to preserve the message, but their desires got in the way. Additionally, in our paradigm, those books were sent to specific people for a specific time, while Muhammad was sent to all people until the end of time. This is why the one intended to be for a limited time was given to humans. “Here you go, keep my word, and don’t deviate from it.” As the Bible and history tell us, they failed. Now Allah gave a final testament which is a timeless message and promised to preserve it, because clearly humans can't be trusted as we can see. Thanks for your reply and I look forward to your kind thoughts.

[@daxvanderwal]

@@Omzzz85 Thanks Omar! To you first paragraph, all of those things also apply to the son. If your understanding of the Trinity was correct then I would agree it's clearly illogical, but you're strawmaning the Trinity. Christian theology holds that Jesus has those attributes as well and these are clearly seen in the NT. When it comes to the Jews and Christian scripture it sounds like your argument is "how do we know that we're using is what they are using" - because we know what was used during this time. Again, our modern texts come from manuscripts way before the 7th century, and we can see throughout Jewish and Christian history what is meant by these scriptures (The Torah, Psalms, Gospel, NT). You brought up "there were other texts too that people in the past considered scripture", what are you referring to? And you would also have to demonstrate that this could have been in the hands of Jews and Christians at this time - the simplest and best explanation otherwise is that it's talking about the clear scripture that has been accepted this whole time. As far as Christians having different bible's there is a clear common core amongst all those. But even then this is beside the point, show me where Muhammad is prophesied about in any of these... and the unification of the text actually works against the Muslim side here, because why wouldn't Allah preserve the text he knew would have to be used to support Muhammad being a prophet?

I will point out some of them for this video. hope it helps 1)about recitation, it does not only have an effect on people you should check how the animal behaves when Quran is recited. especially check halal slaughter and cats do not step on Quran (book) but do step on other books. 2)about redemption or salvation, we do not say we earn paradise by our good deeds. reality is we seek for forgiveness with our deeds. There is hadees shows that “No one enters Paradise by his own deeds.” -“You too, O Messenger of Allah!” even when they say-“Yes, I do too, unless my Lord has taken me into the arms of His mercy.”(Buharî, Rikak, 18; Müslim, Münafikîn, 71-73). clearly shows without mercy we do not deserve anything. 3) about polygamy I do not know much to explain but as you said marriage should be between women and men . This is what the bible says. what about churches approving gay marriage pride flag etc. but the thing you did not mentioned in Quran is polygamy is allowed but it is not a good idea in Quran as well "If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice. "(Nisa/3) this ayah also says that one woman is enough if you can not be fair and most men can not... you should be able to provide for them in order to get married as well. being fair is the hardest among these you can not love 2,3,4 women equally(generally). 4) about the prophet (pbuh) you should definitely read book about his life he was never rich... and multiple wive he did not have them for sexual pleasures. many of them are to bond with other tribes. In Arabia, this is a really good way to make allies. also, they are teachers for us they explained so many things that prophet did. he was 25 years old when he got married to 40year old woman he was married to her until he was 48 49 years old -until her death-. he did not marry couple of years after she died. if he wanted sexual pleasure he would not marry 40 years old. also, he would accept when his enemies offered him money, women....

4:20 Trinity is definitely not the same as tawheed. Allah is one and his attributes are things that describe Him. His attributes are not distinct persons nor do they have will, or personality/consciousness. Trinity holds that God is 3 persons and each person is fully God, independent and co-equal. So each person is fully God, but God is one. That’s a logical contradiction. On top of that Jesus is said to have two natures. Human and divine. Those two can’t coexist therefore another logical contradiction.

Atharis, Asharis and Maturidis have nuanced differences on epistemology and the conflict between reason and revelation. Atharis generally favor revelation heavily and only dive into reason when necessary. Asharis argue that reason and revelation are compatible and argue how rational issues are resolved without rejecting revelation. Maturidis hold that revelation and reason are in perfect harmony and that reason points to what revelation says and revelation tells you to reason. About the trinity and Tawhid, in Islam god's attributes are neither a modality nor a quiddity, and we don't ascribe either a modality or a quiddity to god. In what I've seen on the trinity, "person" refers to a modality, a quiddity, or both. Asharis & Maturidis argue that ascribing a modality to god is impossible (afaik) and that ascribing a quiddity is disbelief in god since it negates his transcendence. Ascribing a modality could negate transcendence too but that depends on how it is formulated.

There's is ikhtilaf (juristic disagreement) over whether you can or should have four wives. The disagreement is partly over whether marriage is primarily ibaadah (worship) or primarily a legal contract, and it is partly over the details on if an individual man can reasonably support all of his wives (or even one of them) and treat them equally. The schools of law which say marriage is primarily worship are more likely to encourage polygamy granted the man can be just with all his wives and support them equally. The schools of law which say marriage is primarily a legal contract are less likely to encourage polygamy (and may even discourage it), and might be stricter on marriage, but they never outright forbid polygamy.

Peace and blessings upon Muhammad

[@Rosemary-jv8sj]

I don’t understand why you have to see him in the Bible to be a real prophet since many prophets came without being prophesied and people believed them

[@sosman5345]

Also the bible are many version from, and it's for (a large part) the work of man (meaning corrupted), even though there might be some verses of the original bible, but the original bible unchanged is only with God. You should consider the Unchanged Word of God which is the Holy Quran. We have various proof for the fact that the final Revelation of Allah has not been changed, there are no 2 versions of it in Arabic.

[@daxvanderwal]

Because the Quran specifically claims that Muhammad is prophesied about in the Bible

[@Rosemary-jv8sj]

Yes I know that but this claim was made to the people at his time and the Jews that were waiting for there prophet that they thought was prophesied but they did not want there prophet to not come from them so they rejected him that is why the Quran says it’s clear that Mohamed was the prophet they were waiting for but they want someone from the Jews

[@daxvanderwal]

@@Rosemary-jv8sj And today we can look at the Torah and Psalms and what the Jews would have had in the 7th century, so we can still look for ourselves and see if Muhammad is in the Bible - so this test is still valid and applicable in today's time

Dear Dax, I do not like to leave multiple comments but I could not help when you rightly called Jesus a prophet as Jesus called himself a prophet in Luke 4:24 and you said Jesus they knew him all his life and yet they rejected him. Don’t you think in this verse the Bible agrees with the Koran as Jesus is a prophet of God ( ALLAHA) not God himself. I hope you are not ironically the blind that rejected Jesus but accepted Paul.

What would you say when the bible tells us there will be another prophet from the brethren of Jews like Moses, who is that prophet who is like Moses. Please read about the life of Prophet Muhammad and Moses may peace be upon them both. You will clearly see the similarities between them. Please also read Isiah 42 and see who is the prophet that will be raised from the people of Kedar? Kedar was the second son of Ishmael. Isaiah 42 also refers to a prophet sent to Gentiles, please then explain who is the prophet sent to the Gentiles, who belongs to the people of Kedar? Also, who will fight wars with the idolaters? if you say it was Jesus may peace be upon him then he never fought any war and also he was not from the people of Kedar neither he has any connection with mountain Sela in Medina which Isaiah 42 mentions clearly.

[@adam_rz3]

answering your question if the quran says triune. the quran him self answer you in sourat 43:81 the prophet was commanded to say : "Say: If the All-Merciful had a child , I would be the first of(his) worshipers." What does that mean : that mean that this noble man, the prophete is the highest of men who look to submit completely to the lord, and searching the truth about him. (i'm copying you and translating from some arabic exeges) That if he knew that God has a son, he would have been the first to worship him, i.e. I am more deserving than you to worship him, i.e. because he is not less understanding than knowing something that is the son of God exists, then he does not acknowledge the divinity of that thing. Because the Son of God will have a divine origin. therefore He too must be a god. And I know that God whatever He was is worthy of worship. If there was a son of God, you would have seen me worshiping him because of my great desire to be the first of you all to obey and worship God, for he was commanded to be the best of the people on the earth in obedience to God. In Surat Al-Zumar: {And I was commanded to be the first of the Muslims (the first submitters to god}. i.e. the first in level, the better one. and he can not disobey that. and his life is the proof that he literally obey this commandment. So, The evidence is composed of a conditional implication, and the condition is hypothetical, and the implication between the answer and the condition is based on the fact that: First, the speaker is sane and calls for the truth and the salvation. And secondly, he does not accept for himself what makes him fall into error. And thirdly, he does not accept anything for them except what he accepts for himself, and this is the utmost advice to them. With it, the inference is made, and it indicates that he is steadfast in the unification (monitheism) of the true God, with a correct and not-incomplete knowledge of God. And that no human being can surpass him in obedience to God, no matter what. Because he is commanded to be the best of them to worship. So, because it was not witnessing that the Messenger of God, peace be upon him, was a worshiper of an alleged son of God, And because he is eager to worship God whatever He was, and because He is more eager than all of you to obey God more than all of you, and his biography indicates that with evidence: including his sincerity, and also you witnessed him he does not speak in the unseen without revelation so he can not speak obout the son of god without revelation, and that he does not speak about God by mere conjectures like all of you do, And among his sacrifices for the sake of God is what you cannot do like him, not even a grain. If he was the most careful of the people of the earth and the most knowledgeable of them about God, he did not worship a son, then God has no son. because the messenger is the worthy man of you all to reach this truth if it exists. This verse is a rational proof. So there was a wonderful and splendid brevity in the arrangement of this verse that way. And motivating opponents with evidence that, if they contemplate it, will shows them the clear truth. If they turned away after that, their turning away would be considered regression.

[@ziadsalah6233]

The reason of why most Muslim men doesn’t have four wives is cause some people loves their wife and don’t wanna have another woman except her, and because some others know that they won’t be fair in that case, and God SWT said in Quran that if we feared to not to be fair between our wives, then we should marry just one

[@blackcatmuezza9338]

Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) cannot be accused of claiming to be a prophet due to a desire for wealth or women for two simple reasons: 1) Wealth: The prophet(PBUH) had a very prosperous and comfortable life with his wife Khadija with whom he operated a trading business but lost everything and was forced out of his city as a result of preaching Islam. He and his family lived in poverty for years, even when he was the head of the city-state of Madinah. We have many narrations from his wives and companions that provide ample details about the way he and his family lived. When he passed away, he left behind nothing more than his personal weapons, a mule, and a small piece of land from which the most basic needs of his family were provided, and rest donated to charity. Therefore, we can say with confidence that acquisition of wealth was not a motivating factor behind his prophetic mission. 2) Women. During Jahiliyya(pre-Islamic) period, polygyny was widespread without any limit to the number of wives a man could have which means that the Prophet had no need to "invent" Islam just to be able to acquire multiple wives. He was a very handsome and well-respected man from a noble family so it would not have been difficult for him to get any woman he wanted, but he chose to marry Khadija, an older widow, and remained married only to her until she passed away 15 years later. With the start of the second phase of his mission in Madinah, he married multiple women, but these marriages were all political, social, and legislative in nature with most of his wives being older women who were either widowed or divorced, some with dependents who had to be provided for.... and no...none of these women were rich. It is recorded in Islamic history that he was offered wealth, position of leadership and the most beautiful women of Arabia in exchange for ceasing to preach his religion, which he refused to do. Why, if he was a fraud, would he reject that offer and choose to endure years of opposition, ridicule, loss of family members, expulsion from his homeland, poverty, and wars for the sake of the religion he was preaching?

[@adam_rz3]

about your argument : for you to believe that the prophet is a true prophet he must be mentioned in your bible. well, this is a very biased argument for two reason : first : bring us the original bible of the christ in his original language? second bias : in arabic we call this : controlling the evidences, i'e : i will not accept any type of evidence except this x one. you know that the truthful one will accept any real evidence, but non truthful one will reject any evidence except the one he know it is a biased avidence. your analogy is exactly like someone in front of a judge and he says to him : i will not accept that this man is my father until i found him mentioned in my mother's diaries. and the judge answered him : first you don't have the original diaries of your mother, you have only a translated copy of a men who dreamed about the diaries of your mother and write it in other language. and second we have other types of proof, like the DNA, the witnessing, the authentic old diaries of your mother's family members who witness that this man is a true and only husband of your mother. etc.. but you still answer him : i will reject all of this, the only true argument for me is for him to be mentioned in my translate indirect copy of my lost mother's diaries writing by a man called paul who never met my mother neither he speaks her language, therefore i will reject the DNA argument, and all other arguments

[@WeyardWiz]

12:08 Polygamy is allowed if the man is willing to: 1. Be able to be just to all wives (the Quran actually challenges men in another verse that they wont be able to do this; 4:129 ”You will never be able to maintain ˹emotional˺ justice between your wives-no matter how keen you are. So do not totally incline towards one leaving the other in suspense.1 And if you do what is right and are mindful ˹of Allah˺, surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”) 2. Polygamy is proscribed in the Quran for men to SPECIFICALLY marry widows and older women who need a man's protection and financial support. Now in today's world women are widely in the workforce and are empowered to say they dont need a man (feminism) but back then that was not the case until the 19th century. 3. 18:10 the wives that the prophet had were primarily widows, and they were much older than him (except Aisha who was around 18~20ish). He had to marry them because it was a tribal environment that forced him to do so and also all the wars rendered multiple women without support. As a prophet marriage to multiple women was an enormous undertaking by him. It was almost like his own struggle because he had to carry the burden of the warring tribes on his shoulders by accepting to marry their women presented by the tribal leaders. This is true of you look at his marriage to khadijah his first wife. She was much older than him and he was only married to her until she died. He was never after pleasure

But the "so-called revelation" should have been proven itself to be the true revelation in the first place, tho. The quran is the true revelation because, firstly, it teaches The absolute Oneness of The Creator. Then there is no contradiction (you can quote from anti islam web, dont worry we can debunk it easily). And the quran has been preserved (there is only one quran 114 chapters). You got, catholic bible, orthodox bible, protestant bible, so, which one? But if you truly follow the bible. The word trinity doesnt exist in the bible. Even the phrase these three are one doesnt exist in the bible (well, some bible verses are considered as fabrication by christian scholars). If so-called quran tells such non absolute god concept. It means, you are having fake quran, and you re reading a fake revelation. Its as simple as that.

For someone who is convinced that Muhammad is not a prophet while admitting they know nothing about him screams bias. This series you are doing is a basic comparative study that lacks depth. Stick to the comparative outlook on both religions and avoid conclusions and judgement- the lack of research and depth does not justify it. No christian scholar let alone a lay person like you has been able to explain the concept of trinity rationally which is why most revert to the escape word 'Mystery' Most Muslims understand their religion better than christian do theirs. you can't take us for fools.

Your Trinity vs Tawhid is a non-starter. Because it's a counterfactual question and a fantastical hypothetical.

To your question in the beginning, i would feel that that is a contradiction, and since Allah protects the Quran from being corrupted, until the end times when the Quran will disappear from the world and all the believing people will die ( including the Memorisers/ Hufaath), if the Quran ever said this, it would be new to the Quran and would mean the end of times.

May God soften ur heart and guide you to the truth Dax.

[@hmdch]

While Islam does allow polygamy, it's not necessarily promoted over monogamy and was restricted so men couldn't marry more than 4 wives. Some of the reasons it was allowed was to protect orphans and widows, strengthen ties with other tribes and nationalities, address the low male to female ratio, and ensure the survival of a lineage if a woman was barren. A lot of Muslim men died during wars and many women and/or their babies wouldn't even survive childbirth. In addition, in order for a man to have multiple wives, he has to meet certain conditions such as being able to deal with them fairly, justly, and economically and emotionally support them equally. Most Muslim men are monogamous since it's very difficult to meet these conditions. If you want to understand why Prophet Muhammad was able to marry more than four wives, you need to look at who he married and why he did. And it was never for carnal pleasures as most of his wives were older, previously married, and abused or mistreated by society in Arabia. So he married them to protect them and grant them more rights while teaching Muslim men to be compassionate and respectful to women. Just like many of the previous prophets of the Old Testament, Prophet Muhammad's multiple marriages were also to politically strengthen and unite the Muslim community as well as to pass on Islam to the future generations. Prophet Muhammad's wives were great role models in society and were able to be successful businesswomen, scholars of Hadith, teachers, politicians, and philanthropists unlike many women who didn't have these opportunities before Islam.

[@adamabdullah724]

As for the Prophet (SAW) being prophesied in the Bible, I can’t really comment on it since I did not study the Bible. But other proofs about the Quran tells me it has to be there.

[@adamabdullah724]

9:26 You can never earn your way into Paradise. If you disbelieve in Allah but do good deeds, it will be for nothing. Quran 47:8-9 As for the disbelievers, may they be doomed and may He render their deeds void. That is because they detest what Allah has revealed, so He has rendered their deeds void. Also, even if you die as a believer and did good deeds, your deeds won’t really be the reason you enter Paradise. It will be because of the mercy of Allah. (Sahih Bukhari 6467)

[@severussnape4151]

yeah also, “No one enters Paradise by his own deeds.” -“You too, O Messenger of Allah!” even when they say-“Yes, I do too, unless my Lord has taken me into the arms of His mercy.”(Buharî, Rikak, 18; Müslim, Münafikîn, 71-73) this hadees shows that we need Allah's mercy to enter the heaven.

[@ziadsalah6233]

About that he had other women later, we also don’t believe that, Cause people has offered him Money and women at the beginning of his journey, but he said “If you’re gonna put the sun on my right and the moon on my left I won’t stop”, so it’s hard to believe that he made it for money and for women, and it’s also hard to believe that he made it for authority cause they offered him to be a king, they told him “we are gonna make you king of kings if you stop” but he was rejecting all that, so why would he do that?

[@cortinaazul1041]

Hey Dax these are my thoughts ⬇ Why polygamy is permitted? Well, I think that it would be very dangerous if it was prohibited, Think about it, let's say we are in a War context and there is a village of 100 people 50 men and 50 women, and then 40 men go to war and only 10 survive, now there are 50 women and 20 men, that village has big problems, one of them is their growth is going to be so slow and there are not going to be enough men to protect the village in the future, also there are 30 women who are going to die alone, The most rational solution is polygamy, with polygamy the village will grow the same as if there were 50 men because one man can impregnate multiple wives at the same time, and also no woman will die alone, So I believe that the Quran permits having multiple wives because God knows that otherwise would have caused a lot of problems, but God is wise and that's why he limited the number to 4 wives because he knows that there are going to be Arrogant rich people who will have an infinite number of wives, at the end of the day God is the most Wise and he knows everything. Prophet Mohammed pbuh in the Bible? Well now I am expressing my own opinion on this, The Quran says that the prophet PBUH is mentioned in the other scriptures, But the problem is that I think you are confusing what scriptures, Muslims believe that Jesus PBUH received revelation from God, and this revelation is called in "Injeel" and it was written in Aramaic the language of Jesus PBUH, We Muslims know that this Book that was sent down to Jesus PBUH is not what you call the New Testament, which was written in greek, so if you don't find any mention of a last prophet on it, it doesn't contradict the Quran, But Correct me if I am wrong, there is no information about Jesus PBUH checking the New Testament and affirming that what their disciples have written is true right?, Did Jesus PBUH ever read the New Testament and said yes this is correct? Well, that is another discussion but anyway, the point is That the Original Book that was sent to Jesus PBUH is called Injeel and it is lost. Tawhid You said if the Quran said that God is three would I believe it, that generates another similar question if the Quran said that the moon is bigger than the sun would I believe it? You have to understand what makes a Scripture true, We believe something is true when it says the truth, the Quran says clearly, that we have to question everything, the Quran even says we have to question the Quran, why? because the Quran says the truth and when you question the Quran and then you realised that it was right, you can't help but believe in it. but if you are telling me that if there was a clear contradiction in the Quran would I believe it? it doesn't make sense because what makes me believe in the Quran is that there is no contradiction and all that it says is the truth. I hope you the best brother, And I wish you the best in your research, love your videos 💪

[@shazdraws]

The thing is that the Quran wouldnt ever say God is a trinity. Cuz to establish a religion to be true u would atleast need to establish the the basic Fundamentals.

‏‪12:07‬‏ And basically polygamy is allowed because of how the arabs used to live, a man would have up to 15 wives if he wanted, ao if polygamy wasn't allowed all these women will have no husband and it's really important for every woman to have a husband, there was something like a rule there that no one is to be left alone so if a man died someone have to marry his wife so she won't be alone

Hello Dax I appreciate your efforts for seeking the truth, this is the first time I'm commenting and I want to respond to the the point you raised about what Mohammed PBUH not being a prophet. I strongly advise you to carry on with your point of what he actually is, the possibilities are not much, if he's not a prophet then he's either crazy or he's lying to get certain worldly stuff as you said. I can just say that even disbelievers that were confronting him at the time knew that he's a man of his word, that he will never break a promise or a truce. he was already offered by the leader of the disbelievers to become the ruler and they will do everything under his command, marry him to whomever he wants as they thought he was after power and wanted to shut him down. I will leave you to verify this on your own and wish you the best of luck in finding the truth. May Allah guide us all to his mercy.

[@messifootballchannel4892]

Hi,dax.... It is better to decide this after you read all Quran and hadith

[@keep_it_halal]

The thing about polygamy in Islam is that it actually put a restriction on it back then. To us now, 4 wives seems like a lot since we're used to only one, but in the Prophet's time there was no limit to how many wives people had, and there was not much responsibility on the man if something happened to one of his wives. Islam gave the husbands responsibility and a limit to how many wives they could have which actually helped the women. As for the Prophet, his amount of wives was completely normal back then. When the disbelievers criticized him, they never talked about his amount of wives because there really was nothing special about that. The Prophet treated all his wives equally, which is why he was allowed to have more than 4. We believe he was the best of all people, which is why he was able to treat them all right. This is difficult for normal Muslim men to do, which is why they can only have up to 4, and why most nowadays choose to have only one. Giving even 2 wives the same amount of love, attention, money, etc as the other is hard enough, let alone 4. That being said, I would suggest talking to a scholar or going on a podcast such as the Muslim Lantern or the the 3 Muslims. These people are definitely more qualified to answer your questions and/or give better answers than us strangers in the comments section.

Even his own 2 wives (Aisha and Zaynab) have some argument with him because he dont take any money from anyone.

[@Mr.KokoPudgeFudge]

The marriage bit makes it seem you have a big misunderstanding of how Muslims view Muhammad. He doesn't have any sort of special things he's allowed to do while other can't; in fact, it's quite the opposite. Following what Muhammad did is considered righteous in Islam. So what about him having 11 wives, isn't that more than 4? I'm no scholar, but from what I understand, he had a total of 11 wives, but he only had 4 at once. For example, if you have 4 wives, but one dies and you marry another woman, that'd technically mean you have 5 wives in total, but that's still only having 4 at once.

[@burakyalinalp5308]

A question that expresses my doubt would be How do you know that Bible or the New testament is the infallable word of God ? Its preservation is insufficient, earliest complete or considerably large manuscripts are hundreds of years after Jesus pbuh and knowing the history behind Pauls emergence and his dispute with the Jewish christians and the disciples of Jesus such as Peter etc. who refused to relinguish the Jewish Law... It seems like Paul for the most part is the one who built the pillars of modern day Christianity creed. I would be happy if you dove into that topic in depth. What proofs are there that the New testament is authentic and preserved ?

[@samofrabat]

Quran doesn't state trinity, because the very premise and pillars of Islam is onenesss of God. It is throughout the Quran, and I mean everywhere God commands not to associate with him. So the whole concept if Quran showed, it just means the interpretation is being manipulated

Just a little correction my dear brother, the prophet Mohammed(SAW) can’t have as many wives as he wants, he also has a maximum of four wives, but he married 12 but not all at once, he firstly married one and she’s khadija(r.a) she was the most beloved one, and he was loving her so much, and then she died and he was so sad about it, but God SWT gave him the trip of Al Israa and Al Mi’raj and commanded him to marry Ayisha(r.a) and then he married another 3 wives, and when one of them dies he marry another one by God’s commandments and one of the reasons is to make these women(wives) teach Muslim women how to practice Islam, and there’s another prophets peace be upon them all that had several wives as well, Abraham(a.s) had two wives, and Solomon(a.s) there’s some people that say that he had 800 wives, and there’s different speeches about that, but if you won’t be able to be fair between them, then you are not allowed to have more than one

The correct answer is that the Trinity will never exist, and this is what the Qur’an says, that there is not a single possibility for the existence of the Trinity, Surah Al-Imran, verse 18

Hello dax, I'm muslim and I appreciate you opening this civil conversation, I hope you find the truth. To answer your question, you compared attributes to beings, god has many attributes and names but he is one, one being, one state. In the bible, there were counts where jesus didn't know when was the hour but the father knew so jesus prayed for the father. It is a contradiction because you claim that god is 3 and all of his states are also god but according to the bible, they are not equal, some have more knowledge than the others and more powerful (in all cases thr father is higher and more powerful than jesus). Dax saying god has many attributes so he is multiple is like saying you are multiple human beings because you also have many attributes, but you're not, you're only one person with multiple attributes, you have 1 existence, not multiple. I hope you will find the truth brother. I wish you well

[@anasans-hl2xr]

one equal tbree are you serious

[@t.s3485]

Attributes....you do realize that if a person had only one atribute, like i say dax is only a kind. So that would mean you will never be juste, handsome, intelligent and so on .a lacking form of life in other words...buuuuuut if i say dax is a man, a father (maybe) and a youtuber. But the dax father is not dax the man and is not dax the youtuber in person, they are not the same but dax is one..... If im not wrong, most attributes of god as per muslim views are also attributes of god in Christianity..... do you see the flaw in your comparison between attributes and persons now? 🤔 -Multiple wifes is allowed in islam up only up to four, so that men can be juste to their wives. Meaning beyond four. God is telling you you will not be able to give them their minimum rights let alone be just and that you'll be held accountable for that that's why he also tell the muslim believers if you are afraid that you won't be able to be just to all of them one is recommended with you still being accountable for wife rights. In the time of prophet Mohammed. Marriage were not limited at all. So a man can have as many wives as he wanted. So the revelation of god through mohammed pbuh was actually a positive reform so that at least women will have equal rights when it comes to their hansband. The prophet can and had the right to more than 4 wives for various reasons and apart the fact that it was revealed to him by the most wise creator (two attributes) . I'll mention three other reason so that you can ponder upon it. Fist, when it comes to rights and justice in a household. The prophet who is already juste to his companions, his fellowers and even his enemies is capable of being juste towards his wives. It's in the nature of this man to be juste and with him being a prophet his life was scrutinized by all (even up until now frankly) he had no chance of doing something unjust and got away with it. Note that level of scrutiny is too high for anyone other than a mesenger of god who is supposed to be a role model for all man kind. Second, marriage was and is still up until now in some high class society or certain regions a political contract with two families/tribes for the benifits of both. So the prophet pbuh did have political marriage at some point in his life ( of course with the agreement of the wife and her being a beliver in one god be it muslim or the people of the book.) that diminished enmity towards him and his fellowers and diminished the agression of secondary allied tribes. Resulting in a more peaceful environment and more people accepting islam. Third, some of his marriages were decreed by god, in order to lift confusion or clarify a decree (an exemple would be him marrying his cousin to clarify that the wives of your adopted children are not the same as the wives of you actual children. As well as the fact that your adopted children are their parent children and not biologically yours). And so on... If as you said that mohammed pbuh had gained money and women from his prophethood. He could have had far better than that if he accepted what the pegans had proposed to him in the early meccan period when they told him you can be king over us as long as you stop calling to one god. He wouldn't have starved a single day and he would have left something other than his legacy and the words of truth to his family after he died. Yet that's all that remained for them. No wealth, no property, no land, nothing but words and a legacy of good conduct and steadfastness. God willing you will realize how much you belittled his noble character by the few words you just said. Also. You saying that your own prophets having multiple wives was a mistake from their part is also belittling them. I'm sure we as muslims have more respect and love towards your prophets than your average Christian or jew... Be mindful of the prophets of god. They are the best of creation. Finally, i see you don't seem to belive prophet Mohammed pbuh to be the messanger of an all knowing and compassionate god (two other attributes), but let me ask you this. If mohammed pbuh was living with you and you knew his character to be better than yours. Would you have at least respected the man?would you have believed him if you knew him personally? 🤔 May allah grant you guidance and a light to dispel the darkness dax.

[@monstaplaytv4545]

If the Quran said that God is not one being, i wouldnt accept that and will try to find religion with absolutely monotheism if i can find it, because even before accepting Islam for me there only One Creator in One form.

[@tba555]

Hi Dax, (1) Limit on Prophet's (PBUH) wives: The verse in Quran 33:52 prohibits the Prophet (PBUH) from having new wives even if he was attracted to them. An analysis of the prophet's marriages and associated timelines make it evident that he wasn't coming up with these rulings on his own. If he only had worldly desires, it wouldn't have made sense to impose any limit on himself, especially in a society where no limits existed. (2) Polygamy: Polygamy is not obligatory but allowed. Compared to the practices in pre-Islamic times, Islam changed the practices in at least two ways by placing: (a) A Limit (b) A Precondition of Equality (3) The Prophethood: I see you may not find the prophecy of Muhammad(PBUH) in the Bible. A point that I find interesting here is that although we may not find the prophecy of the final prophet in the previous scriptures, there is nothing that claims that the line of prophethood has ended. Whereas in the Quran, we see that Muhammad(PBUH) is called the Seal of the Prophets. We haven't seen a prophet since the Last Prophet came. =======

[@MahmoudRomhy]

18:23 Prophet Muhammad was not allowed to have unlimited wives at all , actually the prophet was not allowed to add more wives to his when the limit was revealed and if he divorced one of them he can not also Mary one as a replacement.... I guess the prophet Muhammad image unfortunately is so misrepresented in the west so people would attack him without really know his biography truly and his teachings at all . Also prophet Muhammad had no wealth when he died so he really didn't gain much in material matters (when he died , his war armor was in a jew's man house as a debt payment). Pear in mind he was the head of the state he could have high wealth to very high extent. Also answering the polygamy in Islam comes with too much responsibilities (religiously And socially) that's why many Muslims don't do it nowadays.

[@kabamaro0081]

🔴Clarification about why the prophet has 9 waives not four (and that sounds like manmade to you). When the ruling on marriage with only four wives was revealed at that time, the Prophet had nine wives and some of the Companions had more than four, as was the custom of society before Islam, so the ruling was revealed to all Muslims not to exceed four except for the Prophet only, because in Islam the Prophet’s wife is the mother of the believers and it is not permissible to marry someone else, whether if he divorced her or after his death as a widow, so Allah made an exception for the Prophet, because it is unfair to divorce five of his wives and they cannot marry anotherone their whole lives after that, but it is not true that he can marry without limits, so it is not permissible for him to increase the number that was with him, which is only 9 because he already had the limit and more, I hope the idea is clear. Keep searching man, you will find the truth😊

[@adam_rz3]

You asked: if the quran says "trinity" will we obey? YESSSSS. the quran him self indicate this in sourat 43:81, the prophet was commanded to say : "Say: If the All-Merciful had a child , I would be the first of(his) worshipers." What does that mean : that means that this noble man, the prophet is the highest of men who look to submit completely to the lord, and searching the truth about him. (i'm copying you and translating from some arabic exeges) That if he knew that God has a son, he would have been the first to worship him, i.e. I am more deserving than you to worship him, i.e. because he is not less understanding than knowing something that is the son of God exists, then he does not acknowledge the divinity of that thing. Because the Son of God will have a divine origin. therefore He too must be a god. And I know that God whatever He was is worthy of worship. If there was a son of God, you would have seen me worshiping him because of my great desire to be the first of you all to obey and worship God, for he was commanded to be the best of the people on the earth in obedience to God. In Surat Al-Zumar: {And I was commanded to be the first of the Muslims (the first of the submitters to god}. i.e. the first in level, the better one. and he can not disobey that. and his life is the proof that he literally obey this commandment. so if you didn't see me worshiping a son of god with all my characteristics, so there is no son of god. (how is this is an argument? The evidence is composed of a conditional implication, and the condition is hypothetical, and the implication between the answer and the condition is based on the fact that: First, the speaker is sane and calls for the truth and the salvation. And secondly, he does not accept for himself what makes him fall into error. (even about the subject of the existance of a son of god) And thirdly, he does not accept anything for them except what he accepts for himself, and this is the utmost advice to them. With it, the inference is made, and it indicates that he is steadfast in the unification (monitheism) of the true God, with a correct and complete knowledge of God. And that no human being can surpass him in obedience to true God, no matter what. Because he is commanded to be the best of them to worship. So, because it was not witnessing that the Messenger of God, peace be upon him, was a worshiper of an alleged son of God, And because he is eager to worship God whatever He was, and because He is more eager than all of you to obey God more than all of you, and his biography indicates that with evidence: including his sincerity, and also you witnessed him he does not speak in the unseen without revelation so he can not speak obout the son of god without revelation, and that he does not speak about God by mere conjectures like all of you do, And among his sacrifices for the sake of God is what you cannot do like him, not even a grain. If he was the most careful of the people of the earth and the most knowledgeable of them about God, he did not worship a son, then God has no son. because the messenger is the worthy man of you all to reach this truth if it exists. This verse is a rational proof. So there was a wonderful and splendid brevity in the arrangement of this verse that way. And motivating opponents with evidence that, if they contemplate it, will shows them the clear truth. If they turned away after that, their turning away would be considered regression. so answer me : what is the argument that push you to think that you are more worthy of reaching the thrut about god more than this prophet. because the argument of this verse is based on the noble caracteristic of the prophet is in itself a clear rational evidence. hope you can engage with me and answer me here. cause you give me the feeling that you can not engage directly with someone. you challenge people lonely behind your screen. so my challenge to you is that we make a comparison between you and the proohet to say who is worthy to reach the truth about god, you or him? he is sane, he follows the truth better than any one, he is the most sincere man in history that loves everyone to reach salvation like him. Let us comparison between you and him about those three points.

‏‪12:19‬‏ Even if you are allowed it doesn't mean that you have to marry 4 wives, if you want to and you can do it and you can be just then ok

[@flapjackoctopus3822]

okay, men can have more than one wife if and ONLY IF: 1. He treats them all equally, he can't treat one wive better than the others. 2. If he has the ability to take care of more than one wife, money-wise, attention-wise, and such. 3. He cannot have more than 4 wives. 4. They can't be closely related if he marries more than one wife. For example, if he has a wife he cant marry her sister, aunt, etc. There are probably more but that's the most I can remember.
