This is a video explaining very early Islamic history. It is meant purely for educational purposes, not preachy. So please keep the comment section civil or I will bring out the Banhammer (no personal insults, no discrimination, etc.). Frequent Comments Answered 1. The reason for this older art style is that I made this series of videos back in 2017. They are unlisted because I use this channel as a portfolio and due to the taboo nature of the subject decided to unlist them for a while. But that's no longer necessary so here they are again! 2. Did you become a Muslim? - No. the point of this video is to explain the worldview of a mythology which isn't covered a lot. It's meant for people who, as with all my other videos, don't know a lot about the subject and want to learn more. 3. You're not allowed to draw this - Yes I am. Free speech is protected by law in my country, Ireland (where google is registered for EU citizens), and the USA (where this platform is located). 4. You shouldn't draw Muhammad because it's offensive to some people - Well, then don't watch the video if you find it offensive. This video is educational for a non-Muslim audience. You cannot expect people to conform to your own religious beliefs, just as I won't demand you to conform to mine. 5. Any form of (death) threat - please email them to me directly. Add the subject line "death threat" so I can delete it immediately. ...please stop acting so childish... Most of us haven't made silly death threats since we were angsty teenagers. 6. Parts are inaccurate - There are various denominations of Islam, so I chose the middle ground on which most sources agree, favouring actual historical sources over mythological ones. So if you learned or heard something else then it might be because that particular denomination believes differently.

Ps, the best thing about the KZbin banhammer is that you can "hide" someone. So any comment or reply they make will be hidden on all my videos. They will still see their own comments and replies, but nobody else will. Of course, I don't use it often, but it's such a perfect option for the rude people.

Honestly as a muslim myself this video taught me things that i didn’t know, great job on the research and objectiveness, however one mistake you made is that muhammed (pbuh) never actually wrote the Quran himself because as you said he was illiterate, it was rather Abu Bakr Al Seddik who wrote down the Quran for the first time

[@googleuser9383]

Be as curious as you like, but once you put 1 and 1 together you can not unsee. Read the qu'ran and prove your curiosity. Muhammad's acts were just as wrong as any other barbarism at the time. Being stuck in a mindset, a religion stuck in these times, objectively proves that something is wrong with you. Either brainwashed, stupid or evil. It's the antithesis to atheism, which people only "convert" to by their own volition and rationale. Deal with the truth.

@@googleuser9383 One thing I came away from this video with, are some of the various strategies that were employed in battle and diplomacy in the story. Sure, you might call that "barbarism", but it's something you can apply very easily to things in your life such as dealing with adversarial colleagues at work. I'm saying this as an atheist myself. There's a reason these stories have a mass appeal. You need to be able to extract these core aspects of different religions in order to understand how the people around you work. You can learn a lot about your neighbor living in a christian suburb in Georgia by reading an ancient Chinese text.

I’m a Christian, and I believe Muhammad existed. While I don’t agree with his interpretation of God’s will and the history of Judaism and Christianity, or the religious laws he established, I can appreciate his attempt to bring people back into harmony with the God of Abraham. Also, you forgot to mention the part of Islamic history where their followers were early on violently persecuted in Mecca, and were forced to flee to Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia), where the Christian king welcomed the followers of this new religious sect and protected them from attempts by the pagan Meccans to extradite them.

Im agnostic but was raised muslim this video is accurate well constructed and bold i like it

[@ntluck1592]

Good video. There are several inaccuracies however that i will list for you. The Tribe that Muhammad belonged to is Quraish (which effectively ruled Mecca) but he is a member of the Banu Hashim clan. Tribe-->Clan-->Family A Muslim man is allowed to marry up to 4 wives not 3. Also Kahdeeja was 15 years older than Muhammad, not 20. On a side note, It is true that Aisha's marriage was considered controversial even back then but Aisha herself grew to be the most powerful and intelligent woman in Muslim history, many of the Hadiths Muslims follow are credited to her as she was the first who heard them and wrote them down. When others criticized Muhammad for marrying her young she would scold them and take pride of the fact rather than shame. Now my biggest issue with this video is not these mistakes, nor that you chose to portray prophets and God. My biggest issue the subject you brought up about the existence of Muhammad himself. This is a very weird thing to even mention since your only argument is that there are no written records of him existing. You do realize that unlike Jesus, Muhammad lived in the backwater region of Arabia where there was no central government at all to make censors, like the Romans, nor where there many literate people to write those records. Arab tradition is entirely oral and only after Islam did they start a written tradition. If everyone in the Arabian peninsula at the time can attest to the existence of one man, albeit verbally, then there is no doubt that he did exist. Unless you are accusing thousands of people who lived at the time of being subject to a mass hallucination. There is also the fact that millions of people around the world are descended from him and Muhammad does have a family tree that links him to other people. Other than the aforementioned, i agree with most of the info you provided in the video. I would grade it as a solid B.

Some of point in this video a high condensed, minimize and sometimes wrong. 1. You drawn Abu Bakar and Ali feuding with each (at some point in the video) other is will fully wrong. In actual fact Ali and Abu Bakar never feud with each other their follower did. When Abu Bakar ascended as the leader for Islam, he himself visited Ali and asked to not to have any bad blood between them. Ali with all his greatest does not harbour judgement toward him. 2. 27:33 Yeah Muhammad never able to participated in the Muslim conquest because he is dead. Those conquest are mainly been done by his successor or the Rashidun Caliphate. That's why there's never a source mentioned him during the conquest because he is already dead. Muhammad only manage to unite all the tribe and Arabia that's all. 3. 27:43 Saying that Islamic sources can't be trusted so Muhammad does not exist is ignorant. In this case Sun Zhu does not exist because it a Chinese sources. There's not other sources saying that he exist he might be a myth. See what I'm saying.

But why the god allah said that humans have to pray 5 times . I guess preying is not important . Most important is doing good things for all not humans but for everybody . Then god will be very happy. If someone doing bad for anyone god will be hurt .... Humanity is most important than any religion ...

just to clarify something about the taxes which a lot of people get wrong christians and jews have to pay tax called jezia but muslims people have to pay "zakah" which is a percentage of their money given to help the poor and this zakah is only required from muslim so the jezia is like the alternative for zakah

Good work my friend, I believe many will research more and bring out the historical facts of the Islamic wars instead of the indoctrinative ones. I am a Muslim but open minded.

How could the Quran have existed before Muhammad had written it? You said at the siege of Medina the assaulting army had hurled "Quranic" phrases and insults at the defenders of the city, of which Muhammad controlled. Given he himself couldn't read, and based on the oppositions leaders feelings toward the prophet it seems unlikely they were converts to his new religion.

The quran was revealed over the course of 23 years and it was spread orally, the arabs had a tradition of poetry.

for confirmation : 1. the birth doesn't have anything special except the incident before the birth and the prophices around it 2. the common sense at that time is much much worse than today time and the video doesn't list them all (since it is not the topic) 3. the reason why there is no third party or other sources is because most of the men in that time have job that are military based job or skill based job only a little have a knowledge based job, most of sources will be adapted by the muslim because at the time only the muslim had interest in that, and since this is a normal occurence in that time people just saw it as another tribal war

[@zozzy4630]

Thank you for clarifying! I have a question: in reference to your 3rd point, during the Golden Age of Islam (approximately the years 700-1300), do you think Muslim historians might have destroyed third party sources in order to confirm their own beliefs, or do you think the problem is that there were few third party sources in the first place? For me, having grown up in a European and Christian-based culture, I know that the Catholic church suppressed and quieted a lot of scientific and historical knowledge so they could protect their beliefs from being proved wrong, during the Middle Ages (almost exactly the same time as the Muslim Golden age!), but I've never been taught if Muslim scholars misrepresented their history in a similar way, or to a similar extent. I think all people can be stubborn sometimes, and ignore new information to hold onto old beliefs, but the destruction in the Middle Ages was rather systematic and political.

[@dutaasrorusiregar657]

@@zozzy4630 1. there might or might not be. because the muslim historian has their own bias and circumstances at the time. 2. at the time muhammad doesn't really that famous only the mostly only arab know him until when he created the nation that people start to notice him and the europe start thinking he is a threat but at the time he did he already old and then passed away. 3. the arab world were still at comparable is look very alike europe dark age at the time and because the islamic golden age that jumpstart the era of the arab world to be comparable to the late middle ages of europe. most of history before the golden age of muslim are either gone, missing, get destroyed in war or maybe intentional erasing. just like dark age of europe 4. the muslim at this time doesn't really searching for the third party source since the quran mostly is their primary source for history of muhammad life and from other sources beside that only a small fraction are written mostly are hearsay passed down from previous generation (because at the time the arab have a really low literacy rate)

@Phil Weatherley eh, I'm the one who asked and I still understood what he meant. English probably isn't his first language, and that's fine: I'd rather that response than if he just typed it in his native language and I had to rely on Google translate or something. And to be fair, I was asking for his opinion, not necessarily a well-researched response on behalf of any group's beliefs. It was enough for me to use as a stepping stone for more research, and that's all I needed, really. I can link some works if you're genuinely curious, though.

@Phil Weatherley education.stateuniversity.com/pages/2133/Islam.html (History of Islamic education) www.oxfordislamicstudies.com/article/opr/t243/e275 (History of the Qur'an, including its influence on early Muslim education and especially literacy) www.islamicmanuscripts.info/reference/articles/Wasserstein-1990-Library-MME5.pdf (A historical work about the library of early Andalusian ruler al-Hakam II. Note that it was destroyed soon after al-Hakam II's death in a push towards greater orthodoxy in Islam, with scholars at the time viewing many of the philosophical and theological works in it to be heretical.) And of course, a few Wiki lists of early historiographical works of the Muslim world and early Muslim historical scholars: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historiography_of_early_Islam en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Muslim_historians#The_historians_of_the_formative_period You'll see in the first one, there are a few references to scholars stating that many historical accounts written by Muslim historians during the Islamic Golden Age are contradicted by contemporary outsider sources, at least when it comes to the inception of the religion around the 7th-8th centuries. If you take a closer look at some of those sources, they affirm that this is probably evidence of embellishment or misrepresentation on the part of those Golden-Age Islamic scholars; though of course, evidence shouldn't be confused for definitive proof. I wasn't able to find any specific references to any major systematic destruction of early historical works, but many Islamic libraries were destroyed either insularly (e.g., the library of Rayy, and the library of al-Hakam II, mentioned above) or by outsiders, especially during the Crusades (e.g., the library of Banu Ammar, Dar al-'ilm).

Clown athiest. Foolish clown. there are problems with your argument. Firstly it is self defeating. Pretty much, if causality cannot exist without time then Big Bang should be rejected. Given that at the point of singularity there was no time, but boundary to time, and that boundary is obviously causally connected to the rest of the universe, then how can this causal relation make sense? If the objectors accept this point that the boundary is causally connected to the rest of the universe, they should also accept that the boundary is same a temporal causal relation when God decided to manifest His will and Power to create the universe. If you maintain that causality doesn't make sense outside of time, then you'll have to reject causal relation between boundary of the singularity to the rest of the universe, which is pretty much rejecting the bloody existence of the universe. Secondly it assumes there is a consensus on the notion of time in science. There are different notions of time in quantum mechanics and relativ
