Questions/Comments on the Quran / Muhammad identity
October 31, 2024, 01:08:03 AM
Salam to all,

What do you guys say about this. What possible can be the refutation

Summary of the video


https://youtu.be/-uMw65vRrUs


The etymology and meaning of the name Muhammad
The name Muhammad has a Christian root, meaning "bless," but in Arabic, it has a different implication, with the name having four consonants (mimim) and originally no vowels in the 7th century
04:28.


The earliest manuscripts of the Quran are only consonantal texts, with 16 letters and no dots, which were added later to change the meaning of words
06:50.


The name Muhammad, when written without vowels, is left with the four consonants "mhmd," which would be pronounced as "Mamed" or "Memed" in English, rather than the commonly used "Muhammad"
07:12.



Discussion on the historical basis of Islamic characters and Muhammad's identity
The question of Muhammad's identity and the historical basis of Islamic characters is a topic of discussion, with some arguing that these characters have no historical antecedence
06:02.


A conference, the Tower conference, is mentioned, where the speaker will be discussing the topic of Muhammad's identity and the facts surrounding it
05:16.


The speaker's grandfather had mentioned that Islam is not based on real characters and that the name Muhammad has a Christian root, which the speaker had forgotten until reminded by the current conversation
04:17.


The speaker is excited to discuss the topic of Muhammad's identity and the facts surrounding it, which they believe are remarkable and hard to walk away from
05:40.



The meaning and origins of "Mahmed" in different languages and its connection to the Messiah
The word "Mahmed" is mentioned 11 times in the Old Testament in Hebrew, with the same four letters used in Arabic, Syriac, and Aramaic, meaning "the praised one" or "the worthy of praise"
07:51.


The word "Mahmed" is found in the Ugaritic language, dating back to 1400 BC, and is also mentioned in the Song of Solomon 5:16, referring to someone who is "altogether lovely"
08:18.


In the 4th century, St. Ambrose referred to the "Mahmed" as the anointed one, the Messiah, who was yet to come, while Christians were waiting for the Messiah to return, and his name is Jesus Christ
08:45.


The "Mahmed" was always associated with the Messiah, and by the 7th century, it was believed that the Mahmed would be the Messiah, who is Jesus Christ
09:21.



Muawiyah's Christian affiliation and the evidence from coins and inscriptions
Muawiyah, the first Caliph, issued a coin in 663 with his image, holding a cross and with a cross above his head, indicating that he was a Trinitarian Christian
09:33.


The inscription on the dam of Th, written in Greek, refers to Muawiyah as the leader of the Believers, with a cross in the upper left-hand corner, further indicating that he was a Christian
10:41.


There is no evidence of a person named Muhammad or Muhmed in the south, but there are many references to "Mmads" in coins and inscriptions, suggesting that the name "Muhammad" may not have existed at that time
10:12.


A coin from around 30 years after Muhammad's death features three crosses on the front and the letter M, which is worth 40, on the back, along with the letters "mimim" and "dog," which are believed to refer to "Mahmed Y Jesus Christ"
11:03.


The coin was minted during the rule of Muawiya, a Christian who was in power from 660 to 680, and the inscriptions on the coin reflect his anti-trinitarian Christian beliefs
11:28.



Abd al-Malik's anti-trinitarian beliefs and the inscriptions on the Dome of the Rock
Abd al-Malik, who succeeded Muawiya, was also an anti-trinitarian Christian and built the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, which features inscriptions attacking the divinity of Jesus Christ and the Trinity
12:03.


The inscriptions on the Dome of the Rock, which date back to the 7th century, include phrases such as "Say not three, for God is one and he has no son" and "God does not beget nor is he begotten," which are similar to verses in the Quran
12:28.


The inscriptions on the Dome of the Rock are believed to be an attack on Byzantine Christianity and trinitarianism, and the reference to "the praised one" is thought to refer to Jesus Christ, not Muhammad
12:54.



The pronunciation of "Muhammad" and its possible connection to Jesus Christ
In some Islamic prayers, the name "Muhammad" is pronounced in a way that is similar to the way it was pronounced in the 7th century, and some common Islamic names, such as Mahmud, are derived from the same structure as the name "Muhammad"
13:36.


The idea that the name "Muhammad" may actually refer to Jesus Christ, rather than the prophet of Islam, is seen as a possible explanation for the defensive and offensive nature of some Islamic apologetics, which often focus on criticizing Christianity
14:27.



The nature of Islamic apologetics and its focus on criticizing Christianity
Many Muslims do not understand the foundations of their own religion and instead focus on attacking Christianity, which may be due to the fact that Islam is based on a series of lies twisted from the original scriptures
14:55.


The creation of Islam can be seen as another lie of the enemy to pervert the truth of the word of God, and it should be considered a cult of Christianity rather than a world religion
15:48.



The creation of Islam as a cult of Christianity and John of Damascus's writings on the Ishmaelites
John of Damascus wrote a book called "The Christian Heresy" in which he discussed the heresy of the Ishmaelites, who were the Arabs that controlled the Umayyad Empire
16:07.


The Ishmaelites did not have a prophet or a revelation, unlike the Jews and Christians who had both, and they controlled a vast amount of land from Spain to India
16:56.


The Umayyad Empire was in contention with the Byzantine Empire, which was a trinitarian Christian power, and the trinitarians were waiting for the Messiah to reappear
17:21.



The Umayyad Empire's conflict with the Byzantine Empire and the introduction of the Shahada
The antitrinitarians, led by Abd al-Malik, built the Dome of the Rock in 691, which featured inscriptions without dots or vowels, and introduced the Shahada as an attack against the divinity of Jesus and the Trinity
17:57.


The Shahada was also introduced on coins by Abd al-Malik, and John of Damascus wrote "The Heresy of the Ishmaelites" in response to the growing threat of Islam
18:14.



Muhammad's identity and its connection to the concept of "mahmad"
Muhammad's identity is tied to the concept of the "mahmad," a prophetic figure expected by the people of Abraham, and this is why Muslims claim that Muhammad is the fulfillment of this expectation
18:59.


The name "Muhammad" is in contradistinction to "mmed," with the latter referring to the anointed one, and the former referring to a prophet
19:09.



The concept of "jah" and its evolution
The concept of "jah" originally referred to a state of ignorance in one's own heart, but it was later reformed to refer to a people called "jahia"
19:29.



The composition of the Quran and its borrowing from other sources
The Quran is composed of stories and writings borrowed from Jewish fables, apocryphal writings, lectionaries, homilies, and hymns to Jesus Christ, with the name "Jesus Christ" replaced by "Nabi" and "Ras"
19:55.



The development of Muhammad's biography and the later documentation of Islamic saints
The backstory of Muhammad's biography took 70 years to create, and it was first written down by Ibn Hisham in 833
20:22.


The saints of Islam were not written down until 40 years after Muhammad's biography was established
20:32.



The lack of early biographical sources for Muhammad and the origins of the Hadith
There is no biography of Muhammad from the 9th century, and the Hadith from Sahih Muslim, Ibn Majah, or Sahih Bukhari do not exist from that time period
20:40.


The origins of these documents are now known, and they do not come from the 9th century, but this information will be discussed at a later

Questions/Comments on the Quran / Origin of Kaaba

I find his arguments void and unconvincing. Critique and comment welcomed

Muslims are often faced with the difficulty of people in the "modern" world pressuring them to change their viewpoints to conform better with what is socially accepted by society. Many of these people (not just non-Muslims, but Muslims as well) see the prescribed punishments of Allah as barbaric practices that should be done away with. They even say that society has advanced so we have moved away from needing such punishments. They seek to deny the very punishments that Allah has instated as most assuredly the best forms of punishment! One such punishment that is disparaged by these critics is the punishment of stoning the adulterers. In an effort to nullify the punishment, they bring up arguments about the hadiths that mention stoning or how it is not mentioned in the Qur'an. However, they fail to note that the hadiths that mention stoning were reported by the very same people who transmitted the Qur'an to us; you cannot deny one without denying the other! This article will dissect these many flawed arguments, and prove without a doubt that the punishment of stoning is supported by the Qur'an and has not been abrogated.

What do you people think about this video

I am just wondering how can a book contain so much contradicting narations in it be authentic.

We all know rumores and myths can be transmitted and believed en mass, just because many people say about a certain story does not mean the story is true.


What do you guys think

Salam to all,

This video and many in this channel only confirms the work of Pazzuzu. That Yemen is the land of the prophets and misr is in Yemen. Pazzuzu works is also same as Fadhel Al Rubai the Iraqi historian that the jews and all the story in the old testament is from Yemen. Also Dr. Ashraff Ezzat is saying the same. He wrote the book "Egypt knew neither Pharoahs or isralites. You can find his book in Amazon. Also you can watch his YouTube channel.


The link I provide you can watch the series but not From Ashraff Ezzat.i just bumped into it and yes I can confirm as the video say many names in old testament are in Yemen. Yemen also have a mount Firaun and also Mount shuaid and also jabal qadas

The video is in arabic and also there is subtitles in English


https://youtu.be/D_fTungxK30

It has many videos on this subject of Yemen the land or the prophets and Jews

Salam to all,

I landed into this video 4:3 not about Marriage . He came up with a different interpretation. He says that verse 4:3 is not talking about marriage at all. He also said the word نيساء women in the Quran 4:3 which has hazma ء is not in the Sana'a manuscript which is only نسا and this changes the meaning. He said this hamza was an invention by someone in the name of Farahidi.

The video is in Arabic and hope someone with Arabic knowledge can summarize his interpretation here and comment on his interpretation.

The floor is yours Arabic speakers. Help the rest understand this video.

Just a side question. In the law of inheritance those extra wives is not mentioned. Can this mean 4:3 is not about polygamy at all.

I will be following  members comments😊

Salam to all,

This is a YouTube video from Baba Shuaib (a Quran alone Muslim) that Exposed Muhammad's Hijab saying you are allowed to lie to your wife if you marry a second wife. He also said the prophet lied to his wives. If people don't know who is Muhammed Hijab. He is a scholar who frequently speaks at the speaker's corner pack in London.

12:31 So when she heard of their scheming, she sent for them and prepared a banquet for them, and she gave each one of them a knife. And she said: "Come out to them," so when they saw him they exalted him and cut their hands, and they said: "Praise be to God, this is not a human being, but a blessed angel!"

Can anyone please explain this verse. Did the women who saw Yusuf really cut their hands with knives. I find it hard to believe that these women literally cut their hands .

Please can anyone explain these verse

God bless you all

Salam to all,

4:25 And whoever of you cannot afford to marry the independent female believers, then from those maintained by your oaths of the believing young women. And God is more aware of your faith, some of you to each other. You shall marry them with the permission of their parents, and give them their dowries in kindness - to be independent - 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙭 𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨. Until they become independent, any of them who comes with an immorality shall have half of what is the punishment for those who are independent. This is for those who fear hardship from among you. But if you are patient it is better for you, and God is Forgiver, Merciful.

4:25 And whoever of you cannot afford to marry the independent female believers, then from those maintained by your oaths of the believing young women. And God is more aware of your faith, some of you to each other. You shall marry them with the permission of their parents, and give them their dowries in kindness - to be independent - not for illicit sex or taking lovers.

But if you are patient it is better for you, and God is Forgiver, Merciful.

"not for illicit sex or taking lovers"

Especially the part   "or taking lovers"

God bless
