Scholar's Chair - Interview with Dr Jonathan A.C. Brown

[@Amy-ox9gj]

One of the bravest scholars to address the various 'controversies' in Islamic tradition and explain it to people. Its not an easy task

[@read1communications]

One of the best Scholar's Chair interviews.

[@hirry.p]

Very informative , thank you !

[@AC-mp7cx]

Great interview Mr. Shadeed. One thing though- what you said about the Prophet not implementing a government- well that's not entirely true, but I definitely agree that the Prophet did no try to force or compel anyone to follow the religion or to practice it. Since Islam is the moral barometer, it would be vital to have Islamic law in a majority Muslim nation as the Prophet did and as did the Khalifas after him.

[@KeskinCookin]

I like how knowledgeable yet how humble he is. Thank you brother Khalil for the interview. You have great patience with the internet trolls posting comments here.

[@read1communications]

God knows best.

[@read1communications]

Folk must discuss this issue as they see it.

[@tariqata3623]

Mashallah, this was a great conversation. Thank you brother Khalil

+Tariq Ata Thank you for your comment. May Allah increase us all in knowledge.

[@Samantha0-b8y]

Thank you for being a true scholar!

[@sam7748]

There are many paths to God--but Islam is the straight path.

[@read1communications]

Agreed.

[@read1communications]

@The Rod What is irrational about Islam?

[@read1communications]

@The Rod My foundation to Islam is the Holy Quran and all information that align with it.

[@read1communications]

@The Rod The Quran does not require hadith, for me. That does not mean that hadiths are not useful. Hadith is relevant only if it is in concert with the Quran.

[@read1communications]

@The Rod Dr. Brown has the right to offer his opinion but you and I do not have to agree. Peace to you dear brother.

very informative interview of dr Jonathan AC Brown..thank you,Khalil Shadeed

[@read1communications]

May Allah increase us in knowledge.

[@majidkhankhakwani2132]

one of the best scholar on Hadeeth. He is very well informed. i think with his help we can resolve some of modern controversial issues.

[@samiware1704]

The Great prophet Muahmmad had pure and sincere heart so he was able to understand deeply the Holy Book of the Quran. So he articulated it in the form of his Holy Hadeethes. So if we want to know the real Hadeethes from the false ones we need to look at them in the light of the Holy Quran.

[@samiware1704]

@adam khan You till me??? When you trust someone you wouldn't misinterpret any of his behaviour. You even interpret it as something wise even if you don't know the wisdom of that behaviour.

[@dskhan8447]

Scholars of Hadith are the 90% propaganda against the Quran

[@FromTheHeart2]

Khalil Shadeed Nothing to add for now. Your perspective, questions, dialogues are fresh and insightful. There is a lot of work obviously behind it. Thank you for that. Salam

An excellent and well informed host..my hats of to you sir.

[@NineSevenThree]

great interview! thank you brother for uploading this!

[@adoreroftheexpander7342]

Thank you (to both Jonathan and Khalil)! I really enjoyed this interview. ☺

[@u2sharp]

salute, learning hadith categories, method and approach is an headache. authentication is beyond me. when he said islamic scholarship is impressive he said it with assertion. and i agree.

[@read1communications]

Was the program helpful in determining how challenging authenticate Hadith?

It is sad that naked reality is very unpopular. If you made some graphical and vocal enchancements brother Khalil I am sure your videos would have better views.

[@FredHandle1]

Thank you khalil

[@samiware1704]

Nobody can sort out the authentic Hadeethes of the great prophet Muhammad except those scholars who have the same pure and sincere hearts that he (peace upon him) and his noble companions had. Allah the Almighty says (No one can touch it (its real meanings ) except those with pure and sincere hearts) So the adequate and necessary condition to understand the Holy Quran and the real Sunnah of the prophet is purity / sincere heart. Thus we can differentiate the false Hadeeths from the real ones.

[@read1communications]

+unitedware dire ware Your's is an Interesting perspective.

[@samiware1704]

Did you find it right or wrong?

[@samiware1704]

Those names you called are the very names of the governments of the western and eastern countries.

[@samiware1704]

It's you who needs to check your information about those Nobel people, i am afraid.

[@MAKS6665]

Let's see for one to understand Islam you must first have a pure heart, isn't that like saying before you understand physics you must first be a physicist - isn't that a stupid way of looking at learning.

[@Zarghaam12]

Determining the authenticity of ahaadeeth (plural of hadeeth) is a very challenging and complicated issue!

[@farahsiddique6702]

SUBHANALLAH

[@TrevorXStrydeR]

I think he can be an ulama, but remember ulama are literally practicing Muhammad's way of life according to as-sunnah. Dr. Jonathan Brown is an intelligent muslim, he understands the al-Quran, al-Hadith & as-Sunnah deeply.

[@Bjpziobot]

Youre a very good interviewer sir, you had very knowledgable and interesting questions to ask. Ive noticed that when it comes to Islam interviewers usually ask their guests, often quite knowledgable scholars, very basic and dry questions and the conversation ends up revolving on stereotypical issues like politics, terrorism etc. glad tp see you didnt do that here. :)

[@MdRashid-vg6qp]

Bilal brother I'm Indian I don't understand inglish... Jonathan is anti muslim? Please answer..anti muslim or not anti muslim...

[@muhammadbenjuraij7734]

Where did he study his Islam?? I do like his unapologetic approach ...

[@poushitushi1594]

Why don't people understand Islam doesn't exist after prophet Muhammad(pbuh), it has been started from Adam eve when first foot step on earth, there are many revelations from then like thora, engilee (old & new testament respectively) but the quran is last & final & revelation. Why don't make sense?

[@Shaq756]

I didn't get the "yelling down the well" point, what? Great video nonetheless,

[@elyassabir1993]

Salam.I am a muslim from morocco ,i discovered the scholar's chair very recently and want to thank you for this great show. And i have a question and a request. The question is is Pr.Brown a muslim? The request is can you before doing the show post somewhere the name of the guest and the topic of the show so we can send you questions we would like to ask the guest because after watching this video i really wanted to ask Pr. Brown some questions.I apologize for my english, my mother tongue is arabic the second is french so my english isn't very good.And thank very much once again great show.

[@read1communications]

+Elyas Sabir Professor Brown is a Muslim scholar.

[@elyassabir1993]

+Khalil Shadeed Thank you very much. Is what i asked you to do possible ?

[@read1communications]

Sorry not yet?

[@read1communications]

However here is Dr. Jonathan Brown's e:mail address: [e-mail] You might e-mail him for follow-up questions.

ASSALAMUALAIKUM HELLO

[@zaggy3110]

Aren't you expected to chose a muslim name if you're converting to islam Jonathan is of hebrew origin meaning ""YHWH has given" in Hebrew. The first known Jonathan was a son of King Saul in the Hebrew Bible, a close friend of David

[@dannysalgado3511]

@zaggy3110. There is no requirement from the religion to change one's name. This was the name that he was born with and it is based on the name of the prophet John (upon him be peace). Therefore, it is Islamic.

[@Trickytrickify]

D. Salgado yep I agree

[@kalijasin]

Lower ranks? I'd put him at the top.

[@waysonharris6606]

May Allah "Rank" amongst the "Most High".

[@antonisorususii4658]

Woow how can someone call him a scholar? He did 2-3 years in egypt and booom he is a scholar!? And check out what he says about gay LGBT it goes against the Quran!

[@ttrons2]

I just cannot understand the need or reflex to believe what is actually in the super natural and does not exist. Wake up

[@read1communications]

You may not need faith, belief or religion. However, the mind believes in the truth that it experience, whether you accept this reality or not.

[@عبدالرحمنالجبرتي-ك5ث]

this guy is a lost man.

[@read1communications]

He is a professor at Georgetown University and lectures around the world. Why would you say he is lost?

[@Trickytrickify]

good bye mate you need to check your temperature, and I think you're the one who lost 😂😂😂

[@muhammadbenjuraij7734]

Where did he study his Islam?? I do like his unapologetic approach ...
