[@gershonperry5952]

The Quran, at least in its early part is quoting much of the bible and especially Musa about 73 or maybe 74 times. It suggests to the Bani Israel to go back into their land in the name of Alla, and not leave. The Children of Israel are sometimes referred to as Ummat Al Kittab and there is nothing wrong with that. I wonder if in the name of peace we could stick to the good parts and put aside the less peaceful parts. Those who believe in the Hebrew Bible did it and nobody is claiming that an eye for and eye is justice. I think that some of the less peaceful parts in the Quran may have come from traditional and tribal times preceding or after the life if the Nebi.

there's an error in this video regarding the compilation of the quran, and unfortunately its a very widespread common misconception uthman wasn't the first to compile the quran, it was actually abu bakr, who reigned for 2 years after the prophet passed away. after a battle with apostates, a sizable number of muslim memorizers who had the quran memorized died in the battles, which worried umar ibn al khattab, and he asked abu bakr to compile the quran. after much convincing, he accepted to do so abu bakr had the quran compiled at his time, and the quran was kept at his house during the reign of uthman, the muslim empire had already held a huge amount of land, and people generally had the quran passed around and memorized orally. issues arose when people on the fringes of the empire started arguing and debating on what the actual verses were, and so uthman got some scribes to make several copies of the quran, and sent a copy to the main districts of the empire, so that people in those regions, if they differ, they can go check the true version. and even after that for the most part people memorized it orally(and the extra copies were pretty much backups in case anyone messes up) thats also when uthman ordered the destruction of all other written copies, because the actual true one was already compiled by abu bakr decades before uthman's reign, at most 2 years after the prophet's death(im not sure exactly during which point during abu bakr's reign the quran was compiled, but he reigned for 2 years so its not more than that) so no, the quran wasnt written down in a whole book form 20 years after the prophets' death, but at most 2 years. and so theres a saying that goes "abu bakr gathered the quran, while uthman gathered the people on the quran", its still a pretty wide misconception even among muslims.

A minor correction at 20:25 : The Arabic language does indeed have vowels (all human languages have vowels), but rather it is the traditional Arabic script that typically or mostly does not express them in written form. Several other writing systems historically expressing other Afro-Asiatic languages, such as ancient Egyptian and Hebrew, also have this feature.

[@youseffarawila8125]

Come on! Arabic vowels are central to the language and writing. The first letter of the Arabic Alphabet is Alef, which is a vowel! The letter Wao is our O, and it looks like the English comma, also means AND. It is part of the decimal system and punctuation of European languages - an Arabic vowel!!! A third vowel is Yaa, which sounds like i and e and y depending on the word. The Arabic language is based on 3 or 4 letter root verbs, and these roots often contain one or two vowels. If you trace the origin of the vowel-less legend about Arabic you will find an idiot or an orientalist, which is the same thing often. 😢

[@SamarNiaz29]

@@zitools okay so the thing is, the spread of islam was pretty fast. A major contributing factor to this quick spread was the fact that islam was offering equality to every human being, which if you go a 1000 year back, was a big deal. especially in places such as Indian subcontinent, which was plagued by a cruel caste system, in which privileged upper castes (which were a minority) ruled over lower castes, that lived their lives in very destitute conditions. When this population was introduced to islam, they were quick to accept it, as it was offering them an escape from the derogatory system they were used to off. Since the time of our Prophet, it has always been the poor who have been in the forefront to accept islam. The wealthy class obviously resists it, as it is beneficiary of the status quo. While this enables islam to gain huge numbers, the down side is that majority of them are poor and uneducated. Now, partially due to how world works, and partially because of our failure, we havnt been able to lift everyone out of this illiteracy, and impoverishment. Which means we have a sizable population among us with very little understanding of their own faith. Financial security causes frustration, which is vented out in the form of intolerance. So yeah, I would say about 50-60% of muslims wont be open enough to take the question in point academically. they tend to be more sentimental about these things.

Do people really just believe anytime on the internet like that? Does it make you fell Good to hear information that fits your narrative

[@tarekmarrouki8203]

just a small misunderstanding; "thou al qarnayn" means "the one who lived for two centuries" you see the word قرن in Arabic means both "horn" and "a century" and since my childhood, as a Muslim kid I've been taught that information so I don't fall into the confusion. Other than that, I appreciated such an academic level of research this channel never failed to live up to my expectations.

[@engineeresemkay6929]

Perhaps this misunderstanding is caused by the people who had come up with the idea that the person mentioned in the holy Quran is to be taken as the one who lived for 200 years or 2 centuries. this idea does not make any sense, because it would employ that the person was of 200 years of age and he had already lived for 2 centuries at the time period during that story. again because you do not give a 30 years old person a name like ["thou al qarnayn" means "the one who lived for two centuries" ]

it contains just perhapses that's not knowledge that's an opinion and to be frank he cited some incorrect things like the Quran was not written in life time of the Prophet Muhammed that's not right because the compagnions of the Prophet did write it in his time and one of the very famous historical figure that did it was the first ommeyad Calife muawiyah ibn abi soufyan and it was compiled in one book called al Musehaf and the Book used by Uthman to standardize the Musehafs across the state was that of the wife of the Prophet Muhammed called Hafsa bint Umar ibn al khattab so he does not know that and for the Book being based on Syriac and as an Arabic speaker that is mostly a Bull shit, Syriac and Arabic belong to the same family tree everybody who tried to do this manoeuvre indeed tried to distort the meanings of resembling words that have different meanings in the two language and that is a deliberate corruption based on fallacies, for the Sanaa manuscript I don't know his position exactely but it has a very known story for a later time to tell but he is assuming that inconsistencies existed in the text that 's also a declaration made to out-proportion the dialectal differences in Quraysh tribe's ( the Prophet's Tribe) language that used to exist in the way of recitation, these differences are very minor and don't distort anything neither in the text nor in the meaning and the most important of that they are very known and classified and very very few dialectal differences , this Book is very well preserved because everybody in that time learned it by heart directly from a chain of well known people traced to the prophet so for the language beeing without vowel that's a void and wrong argument because the Book at that time was taught verbaly and no one was allowed to teach it or to recitate it in prayer without learning it verbaly from someone who also learned it verbaly from another till the chain ends up to the prophet, the one who learn it just from the mushaf was called a musehafi and it was a kind of pejorative description.

Dear Matt - I hugely admire your fantastic work. Simply magnificent, beautifully presented, and you are a real pleasure to listen to. But I have a question about you: you say at around 3:52 you are a theist but would place works of religious literature as 'authored by humans'. Yet I would have guessed that you, with your fantastic knowledge and experience would have been an atheist, an anti-theist (as I am), or at at most a pantheist or a deist - how come a theist? Sorry if it's a personal question, but it just doesn't seem to square!

Interesting study and comparison❤❤❤

[@alfred2018]

Even if it's heavily influenced by Syriac literature or whatever that is, the question is became: How Muhammad can be able to recite it all back in Arabic while Arabic, Syriac and Aramaic is far too different to be able to bridged by a man who know nothing about Aramaic or Syriac? As we know that Arab's tradition of preserving events by oral and those kinda literature must be held by some people with high status like rabbi yet Muhammad family doesn't have such status, therefore probability of obtaining such text is slim, if not impossible. To be able to create a book (or oral tradition which later canonized) from other language to Arabic is just like asking some random shepherd from Mongolia to come up with a book like Art of War by Sun Tzu by hearing its content here and there in the original language.

[@pstbukkie]

The fact that his direct followers preserved the book by memory makes it a not-so-far fetched feat. Besides, the obvious differences between the Syriac and the Arabic story may then account for the paucity of information recounted from memory, plus its additions

[@alfred2018]

@@pstbukkie Then how can Muhammad get such high status mentor who have the book and teach him to memorize some stories? Do you think that such book can be owned by everyone like nowadays? Also Muhammad compiled such stories into a literature (Qur'an) which is unifying and standardizing Arabic language. Like I said, like asking random Mongolian shepherd to come up with Art of War by Sun Tzu AND asking to make it to unify and standardize the Mongolian language. Mind you, unifying nomaden Arabs and Mongols is hard, it is even harder using literature as the unifying aspect.

[@pstbukkie]

@@alfred2018 I don't think that the stories were that esoteric. While I can't speak with any degree of certainty (and neither could anyone else), it is entirely possible that Bible stories were common in the region he lived in. Moreso, the fact that Jews and Christians are referred to as the people of the book shows that he is aware of some book. And while the book wasn't as common as it is now, the stories were also taught and a lot of people memorised it like they do the Qur'an. Not entirely miraculous for an Arabian Shephered to be able to recount

[@maverick7291]

It says that it took 23 years to receive all the relations. So I don't think it would be hard for anyone to memorize anything if they had 23 years. Especially if it was given in portions randomly throughout the 23 years. Also he had followers who were like his assistants that kept tabs of everything he said and memorized it as well. So he had backup.

[@alfred2018]

@@maverick7291 Muhammad's first followers mostly slaves. Why? Because Islam teaches equality for all which is the enemy of feudalistic nomaden Arabs. It appeals slaves, not nobles ofc. How can you expect bunch of slaves be able to do such thing? You have to remember that Muhammad is not born in todays era. Apply the circumstances of Arabian desert at that time and look again how impossible it is to do what you said.

Slight Correction, Sunni Tradition holds that even before Uthman, the Quran was compiled into a single copy under Abu Bakr RA, 6 months after the Prophet SAW died, due to a bunch of reciters getting killed during the Battle of Yamama. What Uthman RA did was was standardized it and make many copies of it and respectfully retire the minor variations (called Ahruf) (the Quran is retired like a Flag in America, throwing it away is considered as disrespectful so we burn out of respect)

⚠️⚠️🚨🚨🚨This is my response to you: 14:10 *(The story of Abraham breaking idols)* You said, *"It comes from a commentary on the Book of Genesis, written by a rabbi, sometime between 300 and 500 CE So, it's certainly possible that Muhammad was familiar with the story"* But you only mentioned half the truth. The scholars indicated that this text had been subjected to *distortion, and that it was subject to always for long and short additions* (1) Even the scholar *Becker* described it as an *“open text”* because it is an expandable commentary (2) , and that it *"appears to have been revised in a belated way in the Middle Ages."* (3) And it was stated in the *"Encyclopaedia Judaica 7/449”*: *"There are several parts in Genesis Rabbah whose style, language and exegetical character do not represent an integral part of the original midrash, but rather they are late additions"* The story of “Ibrahim” with idols and fire appears in chapter 38 of the Midrash, *it is among the chapters that scholars have said that it has been subject to distortion and belated revision.* And although it resembles the Qur’anic story, it is noted here: *The Midrash story contrasts with the Qur’anic story in detail in many ways.* * This midrash has been subjected to *severe change*, and Orientalists and evangelists do not have an argument for the *authenticity* of this story in this midrash or for the proof that it existed in it before *the time of the Prophet Muhammad,* noting that the oldest manuscript of this midrash in our hands today: (Vat. 30) dates back to 400-500 years after the appearance of Islam!!(4) Also, the text published today in the original language, which was prepared by Theodor and Albeck (1929 AD), does not match any ancient manuscript due to the many differences between them! *#################################################* 15:29 *(Mary And the Palm Tree)* You said, *"a very similar story is told about Mary and the palm tree"* and claimed that there is only *one difference* between the two stories. But the truth is that there are at least 6 differences between the two stories *(in the place, time, characters of the story, what miracle happened, what caused it and who did it)* 15:40 You said, *"Pseudo-Matthew was written around the same time as Muhammad lived"* But many scholars such as *(Robert Miller, Lynette R. Muir, J.K. Elliott, and J. A Tasioulas)* say that it was written in the eighth or ninth century, i.e. *after the advent of Islam.* (5) 15:58 You said, *"its more likely is that this was simply a well known story that was floating around at the time and that both authors were familiar with it"* But the scholar *(G. K. Eliot)* explicitly stated that the *Pseudo-Matthew was not known in the East* Stephen J. Shoemaker said, *"It appears that the apocryphal gospel of Matthew was written somewhat late, which prevents it from having an impact on the Qur'anic text, and most importantly, this apocryphal gospel was composed in the beginning in Latin somewhere in the Christian West and was completely unknown in the Christian East"* (6) *#################################################* 16:12 *(SLEEPERS IN THE CAVE)* As for the story of (The Seven Sleepers), it is a historical event mentioned by the Qur’an in order to take a lesson from it, and the Qur’an never claimed that there is no other book that preceded this story!! . And your saying that it is a well-known story to other nations, this supports the fact that this story occurred because it has historical testimonies! *#################################################* 16:12 *(DUHL-QARNAYN)* You did not mention any book before the Qur’an that narrates the story of Dhul-Qarnayn, but you most likely mean the book of Alexander Romance, especially the Syriac version of it, which some orientalists claim to be a source of the Qur’an, but the truth is those Syriac versions of Alexander the Great were written after the advent of Islam under the Islamic rule. Ernest Wallis Budge says in his book (The life and exploits of Alexander the Great: being a series of translations of the Ethiopic histories of Alexander by the Pseudo-Callisthenes and other writers, with introduction, etc) about the *Syrianc versions of Alexander Romance were inspired by the Arabic culture and were written under the rule of Islam* This means those Syrianc versions were written and inspired by the Arabic culture, *not quoting from the Greek ones* He also said it was written by a *Syrianc Christian person who lived in the Islamic countries under the rule of the Abbasid Caliphate during the 10th century AD* B. M. Wheeler says, *"A more discerning examination of the different texts show that the later recensions of the Alexander stories are dependent upon the Qur'an as understood through the medium of early Muslim commentators. Key elements of the later stories, such as the appellation of "Dhu al-Qarnayn" attributed to Alexander owe their origins to the commentaries"* (7) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- The Jewish Encyclopedia, 3l64 2- Chaim Milikowsky, ‘On the Formation and Transmission of Bereshit Rabba and the Yerushalmi: Questions of Redaction, Text-Criticism and Literary Relationships,’ in The Jewish Quarterly Review, New Series, Vol. 92, No. 3/4 (Jan. - Apr., 2002), p.526 3- Scott B.

He also made a baseless argument that their wasn't any written manuscripts of the Quran during the Prophets lifetime when infact several of his companions had such copies but were discouraged to wait till the revelations were finished so they do not mix Quran with Hadith!

[@tfs2015]

I was waiting for this episode; great and informative series overall as a Muslim, I have two corrections to make: 1- the Quran isn't ordered by length as you mentioned. in fact, the second-longest Surah, by the number of words, is the 4th Surah, whereas the second-longest Surah, by the number of Ayat, is the 26th Surah. You can also see that the shortest Surah is the 104th Surah as opposed to being the final Surah. so simply saying that it's ordered by length is a huge misstatement. 2- while the Quran was indeed standardized during the reign of the third Caliph Uthman, standardization is a completely different process than compiling the written book itself. most religious scholars date the first compilation of the book to the first Caliph Abu Bakr who died only 2 years after the Prophet's death. also, as you mentioned, Uthman ordered all variant copies to be destroyed which simply shows that in fact there were multiple written copies of the Quran by that time. in fact, most religious scholars believe that Uthman used these written books to issue his standardized version of the Quran.

[@Barakeh]

I'm Muslim and I must say after watching the entire video that it is very informative and very insightful and most of it actually doesn't challenge the divinity of the Quran. Knowing that Muhammad was a trader before he settled with a well known tradeswoman and his first wife, Khadijah, he met all sort of people that made him question the paganism in Mecca, it was God's will that he meets those people, the ancient Christians and Jews and doesn't settle for worshiping the idols. There is one hadith where Muhammad tells us to debate Christians and Jews and they'll teach us a lot about our own faith and he is right, here I am learning more about my faith from a Jewish man, thank you so much. Also even the Syriac thing is very plausible, remember, the Quran standrised Arabic, and if that standardized Arabic was influenced by ancient Syriac Christians then that fills me with joy as well because I'm Lebanese, my ancestors were probably those people, and therefore we are the same people as ancient Arabs we didn't just adopt their culture, we merged.

I am an Arab not here to Criticize but to share knowledge to you. Please read my two points and conclusion POINT ONE ISLAM IS NOT ABRAHAMIC RELIGION> These Muslims have lied to people especially to the White Preachers Abraham is Aramaic from IRAQ and his servant Hagar is an EGYPTIAN so how can the son Ismael be an ARAB According to Islam the son takes the lineage from the Father so Ismael has to be Aramaic not an Arab. So Muhammad cannot come from Ismael example if my mother is Chinese and my father is Korean how can I be an Indian. this is the case with Ismael being an Arab. POINT TWO In the Bible it says Ismael and his mother Hagar met the TRIBE OF JURHUM this tribe are Arabs from YEMEN and Ismael learnt ARABIC from them. And thee JURHUM Tribe of YEMEN are staunch ENEMIES of the QURAISH TRIBE of Muhammad. Since Ismael learnt Arabic from the JURHUM TRIBE, Ismael cannot be the father of ARABS since The ARABS were before Ismael and they taught him Arabic language CONCLUSION if I were to marry a Chinese woman and learn Chinese I cant be the Father of Chinese since the Chinese were before me and I learnt the language from them. So ISMAEL CANNOT BE THE FATHER OF ARABS AND MUHAMMAD IS NOT FROM ISMAEL AND ISLAM IS NOT AN ABRAHAMIC RELIGION

[@mouazalgeria9137]

I just want to point out several errors in the channel's content. It was pointed out that this interpretation as a whole and in general is scientifically and academically wrong. First, the entire Qur’an was not compiled during the reign of Uthman bin Affan. Rather, the entire Qur’an was compiled immediately after the death of the Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, that is, several months later at the hands of the first caliph Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, who was the first companion of the Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his first caliph after his death. But the entire Qur’an was collected in several volumes written separately, and they were not arranged and preserved in one book The texts of the Qur’an were preserved in the house of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq or the house of his daughter Aisha, the wife of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace. Peace be upon him. Then came the second period during the reign of the third Caliph Uthman Ibn Affan, the third greatest companion of the Messenger of God, Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace. Where Othman bin Affan collected the entire Qur’an for the first time in history in one Qur’an and arranged it as it is at the present time, and that is why it was called the Ottoman Qur’an. There is a copy of it in the Birmingham Museum or the so-called Birmingham manuscript, which is the oldest copy of the Qur'an in history. Then came the third period, which is the period of the fourth Caliph Ali bin Abi Talib, who is the fourth Caliph. And the fourth greatest companion of the Messenger of God, and he was the first to put the rules in the Qur’an to distinguish letters and read the Qur’an in the correct form. Therefore, the entire Qur’an was collected during the era of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, who lived with him and saw it with their own eyes. To be clear, the Qur'an is not the same as the Bible in Christianity. The Qur'an has been transmitted literally in two ways, the written method and the oral method. As a sacred text, it was memorized from the first word to the last word by thousands of companions of the Messenger of God, all the way to hundreds of thousands and several millions through successive generations. Hence, the sacred text reached what it is now. It is considered the first holy book to adopt the transmission method, by rote memorization letter by letter in addition to word for word. Orally and in writing Compared to the texts of the Torah and the Bible that were transmitted only through translations and writing third point It is that you tried to include your Christian beliefs in the explanation of the Qur'an, and this is wrong Muslims consider the Torah and the Bible to be distorted, unreliable, and inaccurately transmitted texts. The Qur'an is not a copy of the Bible and the Torah. Rather, Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the direct divine revelation of the Prophet Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, to correct the errors and falsifications contained in the Torah and the Gospel. It is natural that we find some of the events mentioned in the Qur’an mentioned in previous texts with a Jewish or Christian source. Muslims do not realize that the texts of Matthew, Luke, John and Mark are the Bible. Rather, the Gospels are the words that God sent down to Jesus directly, but were not properly recorded. The fourth point, therefore, all Muslims throughout history believe that the Bible and the Torah are distorted and falsified. Therefore, the Qur'an is not copied from it, but is a separate revelation. No text from the Torah and the Bible was written in Arabic at that time The Bible was not circulating in the Arabic language at that time, and the public was not familiar with the texts of the Bible The first attempt to translate the texts of the Bible into Arabic took place a century after the death of the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace

@@mouazalgeria9137 So which quran do you use today? We can buy more than 30 different Arabic qurans. All the qurans are full of mistakes and contradictions. But lets look at the early qurans. We do not have any complete quran from the time of Mohammed. We do not even have a complete quran from the time of Uthman. We know that more than 100 verses of Surah 33 are missing. So we know there is no complete quran today. None of the early quranic manuscripts are complete and many show signs of having been corrupted. But back to Uthman, we know that he was required to put the quran in writing as different groups of Muslims recited the quran so differently that fights broke out as to who recited he quran correctly. That proves that the memorization of the quran had already failed completely within 20 years after Mohammed had died. The Uthman wrote the quran in the Quraishi dialect and burnt all the originals. So today we should only have one quran in one dialect, yet we have more than 30 different Arabic qurans. So who wrote all these different qurans? Nobody knows, Not one quran that I have seen shows even one name of the person or persons who actually wrote the qurans. So all the qurans were actually written by anonymous people.

@@johnzuma4688 Thanks for the nice reply There is only one Quran in the world All Islamic sects recognize only one Quran The reason why the Qur’an is one book, unlike the Bible, which has several copies It is because the Qur’an was transferred by memorizing word for word from the beginning of the line to the end of the line, so it was impossible to change the Qur’an If one word is found different or wrong, all copies of the Qur’an will be withdrawn As for the incomplete surahs of the Qur’an, no reliable historical source mentioned this rumor It is impossible for there to be incomplete surahs because the Qur’an contains a complex code of mathematics.

[@user-bs4qu7tb2g]

Have you ever heard of the Pali Canon? If not, I have to disappoint you. The entirety of the early Buddhust scriptures were memorized orally for some centuries before being written down to preserve them from being lost due to political turmoil. Even after being written down, the oral memorization continues to this day among certain groups of Theravadins. During the sixth Buddhist council in the 20th century, when official versions of the Pali text were decided on to be transcribed into the Singhalese, Thai and Burmese national scripts, elder monks who memorized the Pali Canon were an essential part when deciding on the details of the doctrine. The closest disciple of the Buddha, his cousin Ananda, is attributed to have had an exquisitely trained memory, to the point where he could pretty much dictate the entire life of the Buddha 3 months after the Buddha's total extinguishment (Parinirvana).

[@adnans8778]

There are some misrepresentations in this. Most Muslims believe the Quran was written down in the time of the Prophet. The Prophet encouraged this and had dedicated scribes. This collection of writings were gathered together during the reign of Abu Bakr, immediately after the Prophet's death. Importantly, there were several spoken forms of the Quran, somewhat like how different dialects pronounce the same words differently - this was approved and accepted in the time of the Prophet. In the time of Uthman, as the Muslim community expanded massively, there were fears that different spoken forms would lead to conflict, so 6 skilled Quran scholars were appointed to compile a definitive "version" of the Quran. This group used the Quraishi dialect and interviewed all available companions in Medina who memorised parts of the Quran to compile a robust version. This version was cross checked with the Abu Bakr version. Thus, there were no material differences in the Quran, there were just oral differences that were aligned under Uthman. This is a key difference in understanding between Muslim scholars and Orientalists.

During his lifetime people knew he was rewriting myths, tales and other peoples religions. The Quran mentions these critics of Muhammad; for example Quran 25:4-6 says the critics complained that Muhammad was passing off what others were telling him as revelations. (I can give at least three occasions where Omar admits to feeding Mohammed ideas which were then incorporated into the Quran). Those who disbelieve say, "This is nothing but a lie that he made up, and others have helped him at it (Khadija & Omar). Tales of the ancients; he wrote them down; they are dictated to him morning and evening." * If he ‘wrote them down’ then even the traditional ‘fact’ that he was illiterate is a lie!

It details the process and the steps a fertilized egg go through right up to birth in great detail and with very specific choice of word. This example can be found in surah 23, verses 12 through 15.

It seems the compilers of the Quran didn't know the difference. You also have to consider whether the Qurans "correction" claim makes sense in light of the actual texts. What we actually find in many cases is the Quran copies random details that don't make a lot of sense by themselves, but make perfect sense in the original story.

[@ibra9798]

The other books mentioned as sources of the Quran from a secular perspective, are there any manuscripts for them that indicate exactly when they were written? Also, there is a lot of scientific information that was not mentioned in any book before the Quran, such as the development of the fetus and the rotation of all parts of the universe. What does the secular perspective say about them?

[@stuartsummers1303]

Interesting you should mention embryology in the Quran. It’s almost the exact same as Ancient Greek beliefs on the subject, written before Muhammad was born. You’ll find that nothing in the Quran is unique, you just aren’t aware that these ideas were already in existence prior to the Quran being written.

[@kyoungd]

The secular perspective is that there is no scientific information in the Qur'an. The development of the fetus was copied from the Greeks (also copied its error), and astronomy was repeat of six century knowledge (including geocentricism and flat earth). It is Muslim apologetics who reinterpret old verses to fit the new Science which is common for all religion.

i am a Muslim and loved your video

[@Deiexiz]

I just wanted to make something clear. When you were talking about the "inspirations" of Muhammad (saws), you were right that historians agree that he was influenced. Historians do think so. But they also think that Muhammad (saws) was uneducated, so he did not know how to read or write. So my point is, how can a person, living in the middle of Arabia, who doesn't even know how to write or read, come up with a scripture considered to be the most poetic script of its language, even by non-muslims, in a period known as the golden age of Arabic poetry?

[@cramax4871]

Lmao Muslims call it poetry because its all over the place. Sometimes its "poetic" sometimes its not.... probably because Muhammed made up those verses as he goes and got into sticky situations so he pulled stuff out of his ass.

[@teehee4096]

This is a good question. Keep in mind that Muhammad was trained in poetry by the Bedouin, as is recorded in Sirat. He had lots of contact with Jews and Christians, and knew at least one Zoroastrian. Lastly, historians are not certain that was actually illiterate. It is possibly a claim added to Hadith in the Golden Age, though the hadith could be legitimate one. Either way, he was exposed to poetry all his life.

[@Deiexiz]

@@teehee4096 Please state the sources of your arguments and statements, if you may. You say he was exposed to poetry his whole life, which is not quite true. Also, your argument does not make sense, since it cannot be applied in many situations. Say, for example, I have many friends who are doctors. I hang around them from time to time, they talk about their lives at work and share their life experiences. Would it make sense to assume, from an objective point of view, that I am now a doctor and the best in the world, with the best abilities and talents? Obviously no. As I already wrote, the Quran is in fact the most poetic scripture we have in Arabic, and this is not something subjective or biased. It wouldn't be right to say that it was written by him only because he was exposed to poetry or had relationships with a few poets in his life. I just wanna make some things clear when I say it is the most poetic scripture in Arabic ever recorded and made. The Quran alone created a new system of literature, chaptering and organization in Arabic. It logically uses and forms words that were never used before. It uses expressions and new types of rhymes and figurative language new to writing for its time. A word can have many different and coherent definitions. This is why there is such a language barrier in its translations, that sometimes leads to mistakes. Matter of fact, every so-called "error" is only a mistake because of translations, and not the text itself. Keep in mind that it appeared in the century when poetry was at its peak, where we found the best Mediterranean poets of all time. So saying the Quran was written by the prophet (PBUH) just because he was exposed to poetry is not true, since it is considered a weak base, a not-so-firm pillar to support your argument, as I already explained I know it is a long comment, but please take the time to read and understand what I wrote, to clear out any confusion and misunderstanding.

[@rogerforsberg3910]

Enormously helpful! Your explications supplement & amplify what I learned from my father (an amateur Biblical & Koranic historian) over 65 years ago. Many thanks!!

[@zaid9026]

why him and your father are wrong : 1)there was no single Arabic translation of the Bible till the tenth century CE, i.e., three centuries after the Prophet’s death. The available texts of the Bible were either in Syrian, Greek, or Hebrew. If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) could have any direct access to the Jewish or Christian scriptures, he would have quoted them, being in dire need to challenge his opponents. 2) The Prophet peace be upon him was illiterate, does not read or write, and it has not been proven that he saw the Torah and the Gospel, or read in them, or transmitted from them. 3)let us examine the two texts, the Qur’an and the Bible. The Qur’an was revealed over 23 years in installments to match multitudes of events, issues, and queries, which were finally compiled into surahs, each having a homogeneous flowing narration. On the other hand, the Bible is a collection of 58 (plus 16 disputed) books written by several human authors and groups. These books were originally not intended to be holy scriptures, but were selectively made so by the ecumenical councils of the Church, several centuries after Christ. An academic or even casual hand-on examination by an impartial sound intellect could never fail to witness the deep contrast between the superb text and context of the Qur’an, compared to the fallible human texts comprising the Bible books. 4) If this were true, his enemies from the polytheists would have taken it as a pretext for them, with the aim of defaming it. 5) Further, the Qur’an has vehemently unveiled the Christian and Jewish distortions of the original messages of Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them). The original Injeel and Torah are no longer available. Please read, for example, the Qur’anic correction and reply to the Biblical distortions: - Abraham was a Jew: 2:140; 3:65 - Allah tired from act of creation? Allah forbid: 50:38 - Jesus the son of God? Allah forbid: 9:30; 5:17 - Trinity: 5:72-73 - Sanctifying the Church: 3:64 - Solomon blaspheming: 2:102 - The first Qiblah: 3:96 Could a copy (i.e., the Qur’an, according to the allegation) correct the claimed original (i.e., Bible)? 5)What happened from the agreement in some of the rulings does not indicate that the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, was taken from them, and he learned from them, but because Judaism and Christianity have their correct origins that are consistent with the principles of Islam, had it not been for the distortion, change and alteration that they experienced. 7)The rulings of Islamic Sharia were descended gradually according to incidents and facts, and the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, depended in ruling on some matters until revelation came down to him, which indicates that he had no prior knowledge, and he did not ask the People of the Book. 8)The Noble Qur’an exposed the Jews and Christians, exposed their veils, and slandered them allah says in quran '' O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His apostles. Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah. Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs." (4:171) 9)Again, could the Qur’an learn from the Bible? There are, of course, points of agreement between the Qur’an and the Bible, e.g., the main aspects of the stories of prophets. That is natural as far as the original source of information being the same, divine revelation of Allah through His Messengers teaching essentially the same message. But here again, in the stories of the prophets we witness the profound differences between the Qur’anic narrations and those of the Bible. Compare for example: the story of prophet Joseph in the Qur’an (12:4-102) and the Bible (Genesis 37-45). Here, the brief to-the-point yet lively objective Qur’anic narration to emphasize advice and exhortations can be contrasted to the marginal details listed in the lengthy once-upon-a-time style of the Bible. While the Qur’an gives due respect and reverence to the prophets as Allah’s chosen inviolable human beings, radiating His guidance to their contemporaries and future generations, the Bible frequently portrays them dishonorably. Consider for example: Genesis 9:20-24: Noah being drunk and appearing naked in front of his sons Exodus 32:3-4: Aaron shaping a golden calf for the Israelites to worship 1 Kings 11:9-10: Solomon worshiping false gods 2 Samuel 11:4-5: David committing adultery Genesis 19:31-36: Lot committing incest with his two daughters

I suggest you to also read the asbabunnuzul of the quran so you have more view on this topic and more understanding of the quran Idk are you have read the quran or haven’t yet (but I think you haven’t), in the quran, the author of the quran challenges everyone who has a doubt about quran to produce one surah (chapter) or one ayah (verse) that has quality similar to quran (in content or language), many people try it and failed (you must read those and feel free to laugh). Some things important if you want to extend this topic, you have to search on how quran could provided many prophetic verse, provided scientific signs accurately and solved many problems in modern society.
