As someone who was raised in the Christian faith, then learning about the Jewish root of my faith tradition for the last 8 years, and now learning Islam and reading Quran, I really appreciate your teaching Ustadh. Thank you🙏

[@hmmm5082]

Yes Christianity has roots from Judaism (old testament). But fast forward to Islam and when you depict it it has roots all the way to Adam (pbuh) through all the Messengers and Prophets including Jesus (pbuh) to the final Messenger (pbuh). The religion of God has always been Islam. The religion was completed and perfected with the final revelation.

Always fail to understand these gospels. Alhamdulillah for the opportunity to learn about them

Excellent by Br/Dr Ali.

[@tariqotariqo2794]

A moment of Shukr to Dr. Ali Ataie, May allah reward him for sharing such knowledge! Please get back to debates i know its a headache for you, but you would bring a lot to Islam 'considering the feedback of non muslims with your past christianity debates'!

Real joy to hear this man

Marvelous teacher

[@Condor268]

Monotheism has a duel meaning and doesn't just pertain to a 'Numerical' and/or a 'Quantitative Analysis',it pertains to the 'ONENESS OF SPIRIT' as well.Prophet Jesus(pbuh)made this clear multiple times- 'a House DIVIDED cannot stand', 'God is Spirit'.In secular Philosophy,there is the discussion of Particularism vs Universalism.Jesus(pbuh) is clearly the advocate for Universalism( ONENESS OF SPIRIT).Blessings
