[@kelapamuda5656]

I did.. I read quran bible and Veda.. Trust me.. If you get so detailed in bible and Veda it gives you feeling nonsensical and out logic even sometimes ridiculous.. Especially The Veda.. This books talk about God in a way that is so unholy and selfish... Quran is all make sense.

[@orangemittai9251]

Quran talks about a god who's egomaniacal, selfish, who encourages pedophilic tendencies, coupled with a self-centered and power-tripping disposition. Is that God in your view? Vedas are much much deeper. This is coming from a follower of one the abrahamic faiths.

I born as a syrian muslim girl , I remember that I loved to read Quran when I was a child altough my family is not religious. I begin to know and understand about the meaning of life from Quran and knowing about Allah (God) when I be adult, and I remember when I heard this lecture for Jeffrey Lang, I cried and I realized that we should read between the lines carefully in Quran to understand Allah's message for us.

[@ElvisBosnjakovic-dc3hy]

I can't believe I watched the whole video...but the story of the beginning of creation is worth it, as it answers one of the greatest questions in existence.

This speech is so motivating, remember first time seeing it and I was in complete awe, even as a born Muslim, he pointed out things I hadn't thought of... a new perspective for sure and really inspired me to introspect more about Quran.

[@jiyunotsubasaa]

The highest independence that a human being can attain is to believe in the one that is above all things, believing in the real god frees you from everything that is below.

[@IbnMohmmd]

Regarding the last point, Dr. Jeffery didn't force himself to belive the scripture to be right. He read it thoughtfully and carefully and discovered that it's Right. So, when you read the other scriptures or philosophies, read it thoughtfully as you wish, and you will discover that it's Wrong. This is our standing as Muslims. Dr. Jeffery even refered to the point that the Quran isn't hard to understand, which he means that you use simple and standard logic and you will discover that it is the Truth. While when you use simple standard logic with other scriptures or philosphies you find something wrong, and he give the example that eating from the wrong tree is by no means could be considered as the greatest sin, and another clear example we usually use is that God cannot be one and three at the same time or that God The Perfect would be merged in a human body or idol. No matter how thoughtfully and carefully you think, this cannot be right.

[@FOOTSHOTS1]

yeah , ofc they assume that we dont critic our scripture, Islam is all about asking questions , n being critical... but give them time... this stage of their journey sometimes take longer... , do not underestimate how strong the effect of secular education, they r been fed all their lives that all religions are false.. not based on proofs.. and to be hyper skeptical n not seek for the truth unless it is by scientist ... its a whole baggage ... so ofc they will add islam to the same category , specially when Islam is supposed to be the Protagonist of their bedtime story... the media and the lies have also something to do with this. but anyway, may Allah guide them, n guide whoever sincere

[@myounas4456]

Indeed ❤️❤️

[@ren4893]

Thank you for your reaction 💚 I love watching reactions to this particular lecture because I keep learning and discovering new understanding from it. With an open heart, I'm gonna say respectfully, that atheism is a form of arrogance. Evolution happens, but it is allowed, and therefore it evolves. Even if evrrything in this universe starts from "somewhere", that "somewhere" exists because God wills it. Human cannot choose to comprehend "somewhere" if the choice is not presented. That's also the reason why faith, is a choice. A blind one, but it is a choice that has to be made out of reason. So thank you for continuing to learn and reason, whoever knows where we all might be at the end 💚

[@zcovichibra5918]

From you two, I am even more convinced that "guidance" was truly sent down by Allah SWT according to His will. Many people are smart, but it is precisely because of their intelligence that prevents them from getting guidance, and for some others, their intelligence brings HIDAYAH and Truth into their lives.

What a beautiful story of the beginning of human existence on earth! Even when Adam n Eve were expelled from Heaven, they were given a full assurance that God's guidance would accompany them as long as they would stick to them. Showsing how God is the most compassionate n the most merciful. So how could then some people have been talking about the original sin? Just don't get it.

[@FOOTSHOTS1]

yea in Islam, we dont believe in the original sin, we believe we are born sinless. also we dont believe that Eve (pbuh) , seduced adam (pbuh), we believe that it was both their choice and these two differences make a huge theological difference , its affects literally everything... Also in Islam Allah just forgive if he wants to... as simple as that, in christianity cz of the original sin, jesus (pbuh) had to die for everyones sin.. Also ofc the major two differences is that Jesus (pbuh) in Islam is a major prophet sent by GOD, but in christianity he is GOD (thats a church thing, not the bible) n ofc Islam is a radical monoteistic religion, ONE GOD, perfect, no son, no father, not born.. eternal, no beginning.., very very strict monoteism, in christianity they have the concept of trinity ... (which also a church thing, didnt find it in the bible) these are the brief differences between islam n christianity

[@ismailbakr2496]

So, as for those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and did deeds of righteousness, He will give their (due) rewards, and more out of His Bounty. But as for those who refuse His worship and were proud, He will punish them with a painful torment. And they will not find for themselves besides Allah any protector or helper. Holy Quran ❤

[@lokihammerfall7781]

Very informative and interesting.

[@jo_jo12e]

The fact that the first surah that was revealed to Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was Surah Clot, and the first word that was revealed to earth from heaven was “Read.” amazing me. The surah : Read: In the Name of your Lord, who created.Created man from a clinging clot. Read: And your Lord is the Most Generous. He Who taught by the pen.Taught man what he never knew. In fact, the human being oversteps all bounds. When he considers himself exempt.But to your Lord is the return. Have you seen him who prevents? A servant when he prays?Do you think he is upon guidance? Or advocates righteousness? Did you see how he denied and turned away? Does he not know that Allah sees? No. If he does not desist, We will drag him by the forelock. A lying, sinful forelock. Forelock is where the part of the brain Responsible for lying! Imagine reading all this and still not believing in Allah.

[@mimimira5412]

We have the independence to make choices but moral of the story is that we should make morally correct choices and the one who has decided what is correct is God who created you. So when you make these choices you know that there will be consequences, maybe not right away but someday, that’s what religion is about. And obviously having confidence that the religion you are in is right is important because only then will you be sure that you are not wasting your time and risking yourself

As somebody who has been raised in muslim family. I dont remember of having that kind of question. The earliest thing i could remember was: when the non muslims asked that question, and they got various answers. Then i got the answer from islam. My mind just agreed with it. Cuz, it just makes sense after comparing it to the answers from non muslims. I mean, i dont agree just because i got the islamic answer. But i have compared it with the non islamic answers. So, in away, listening to outsider answer is actually exercising our own belief. If you are lucky (and sincere), it would rather gain your belief. Otherwise, thats how some people got into deconstruction process. Oh, i think bravery is rather implementing change. Not just accepting. Like, i dont mind with the usage of a.i nowadays. But, will i use it for the greater good of my own? Also, i think every lawyer should have done that. Reading the lines, even between the lines. Otherwise, a smarter guy with bad intention would take the advantage of agreement you have signed :O

While you Can’t say this for bible or any other religious scripture in the world….EVEN the followers of any other religion Claim that. So there’s a Clear Distinction between The Holy Quran and the rest of the scriptures you should Keep in Mind. Or the other Easiest way is to Read all of them by yourself and give the Comparison 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@thejimandterryshow-haveyou2444]

It seems as though Islamists (like any faith) like to put converts on pedestals, for promotional purposes, and Islam especially values Western converts. Prof. Lang's personal story is thoughtful, humourous and compelling, as a personal retelling of an emotional experience The video is 13 years old, I wonder what prof Lang would say in light of current events? or even 13 years' worth of deeper study? Prof. Lang's narrative reveals his own honourable character, replete with kindness and sensitivity, on an individual level, but it has little to do with the general claims that Islam, based on the text of the Quran, is truthful, peaceful and moral. Regardless of what religion, and what text one claims as the basis of personal faith - Caveat Emptor.

[@bbjj0909]

well yes and naturally so, many Muslims believe converts are more Muslim than born Muslims. You know like we were born into it so it feels like a lot of people take this faith for granted and often don't truly appreciate the faith for what it is whereas a convert chose to be Muslims. they looked at the text and took life changing decisions just because it spoke to their heart. Hence they are devout and put effort because nobody just changes their lifestyle and then decide nah im not gonna do that. Its remarkable but i dont think the proffessor being western has anything to do for people appreciating his speech. its more his devotion and he is a tremendously intelligent man.

[@MaSa-bp5qe]

No, Muslims put all converts on a pedestal regardless of where they are from. The reason is simple. Islam commands us to do so. A new person who enters the fold has to feel welcome. And no, what professor Lang said and what a lot of Muslims believe is the same. Yes it shows professor Lang’s character, but it also shows what the Quran clearly teaches. You stated Islam is not moral etc… Which standard did you use? Is there an objective measure for morality you used? Or did you simply state your personal opinion?

[@sustainableliving6319]

Why would you assume his stance has changed at all? And there’s plenty of highly intelligent Muslims of “Western” origin who continue to be outspoken about their views and choice to be Muslims. Some that come to mind: Yusuf Islam, Dr. Laurence Brown, Yusuf Estes, AbdulHakim Murad/Timothy Winter, Hamza Yusuf Hanson and many others

[@fishscammers]

What I got from your comment is that what Islam teaches somehow differs with what it's usually practiced within Muslim communities. I would say you're not completely wrong about this. Unfortunately, Muslims nowadays don't practice their faith as it should. However, this is never a sign that something is wrong with the faith itself. The fault is with in humans themselves. Just like the saying here " If I'm not a good Muslim, blame me, not Islam. Islam is perfect, I'm not."

Something said at the end which lines with another message in the quran us do (تدبر) meaning (pondering) upon the words of God (الله)
