That brother at 1:02:45 made an excellent point. When Islam is similar to other religions, they claim it’s because it was copied. But when Islam is unique to other religions, they say it’s because Islam has no continuity like it claims. That just goes to show that the conclusion is being presupposed before they even examine the evidence.
*Ibn Ḥazm (d. 1064), the Córdoban polymath Said:* "The biography of Muhammad ﷺ, for anyone who deeply considers it, necessitates believing him and testifying that he is certainly the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. If he ﷺ had no other miracle but his biography, it would have sufficed." (Alī ibn Aḥmad ibn Ḥazm, al-Faṣl fil-milal wal-ahwā’ wal-niḥal (Cairo: Maktabat al-Khānji, 1929), 2:73.) *Annie Besant (1847-1933) British theosophist and nationalist leader in India. President of the Indian National Congress in 1917.* "It is impossible for anyone who studies the life and character of the great Prophet of Arabia, who knows how he taught and how he lived, to feel anything but reverence for that mighty Prophet, one of the great messengers of the Supreme. And although in what I put to you I shall say many things which may be familiar to many, yet I myself feel whenever I re-read them, a new way of admiration, a new sense of reverence for that mighty Arabian teacher." [The Life And Teachings Of Muhammad, Madras, 1932, p. 4] *K.S Ramakrishna Rao, an Indian Professor of Philosophy* in his booklet, ("Muhammad, The Prophet of Islam") calls him the: 👇 "Perfect model for human life." Prof. Ramakrishna Rao explains his point by saying: "The personality of Muhammad (pbuh), it is most difficult to get into the whole truth of it. Only a glimpse of it can I catch. What a dramatic succession of picturesque scenes! There is Muhammad (pbuh), the Prophet. There is Muhammad (pbuh), the Warrior, Muhammad (pbuh), the Businessman; Muhammad (pbuh), the Statesman; Muhammad (pbuh), the Orator; Muhammad (pbuh), the Reformer; Muhammad (pbuh), the Protector of Slaves; Muhammad (pbuh), the Emancipator of Women; Muhammad (pbuh), the Judge; Muhammad (pbuh), the Saint. All in all these magnificent roles, in all these departments of human activities, he is like a hero." *JULES MASSERMAN,* U.S. psychoanalyst: "Leaders must fulfill three functions -*provide for the well-being of the led, *provide a social organization in which people feel relatively secure, and *provide them with one set of beliefs. People like Pasteur and Salk are leaders in the first sense. People like Gandhi and Confucius, on one hand, and Alexander, Caesar and Hitler on the other, are leaders in the second and perhaps the third sense. Jesus and Buddha belong in the third category alone. Perhaps the greatest leader of all times was Mohammed, who combined all three functions. To a lesser degree, Moses did the same." (Jules Masserman in 'Who Were Histories Great Leaders?' in TIME Magazine, July 15, 1974) *Alphonse de Lamartine Said:* "If greatness of purpose , smallness of means , and astounding results are the three criteria Of human genius , Who could dare to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammed ??? Philosopher, Orator , Apostle , Legislator , Warrior , Conquerror of Ideas , Restorer of Rational Dogmas , of a Cult without Images ; The founder of Twenty Terrestrial Empires and of One Spiritual Empire , that is Muhammad.

Hart (1932- ) Professor of astronomy, physics and the history of science.* • "My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level."

Islam will never be given the credit it deserves by western intelligentsia because the West is still actively trying to undermine Islam (but Allah plans to). Did you see how Piers Morgan introduced Mohamad Hijab in his intro? He didnt even wanna acknowledge Hijab's educational pedigree, because legitimacy cannot be afforded to Muslims. We need to instill in our children that their acceptance of Islam is not neccesary for us to be valid. Our tradition contains both continuity and uniqueness and having both qualities doesn't invalidate us.
SubhanAllah, I was going through such a bad period of waswasa just after making the intention to develop a stronger love for our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, it led me to reading all of these false theories which were starting to make me worry even though I knew in my heart that they weren't true, and now I see this video on my feed. JazakAllah for the work you do, May Allah grant you the highest levels of Jannah for eliminating falsehood through His Permission ❤️ Allah is the Best of Planners!

What a wonderful work done by Sapience Institute and Brother Muhammad Hijab. Every Ramadan I try to read Seerah from different perspective and this Ramadan I have this series. JazakAllah for this brilliant work and all the efforts.

Assalamu Alaikum, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to express my appreciation for your commendable efforts in spreading awareness about Islam. I have a humble request to make. Would it be possible for you to create a response video addressing Professor Moshe Sharon's perspectives on Islam and Islamic civilization? His lectures, which are accessible on RUclips, have the potential to misguide many individuals, and I believe a thoughtful response could help provide clarity and counter any misconceptions that may arise. Thank you for considering my request. Tanveer Saleh International Islamic University Malaysia
Those to whom people said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them." But it [merely] increased them in faith and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs." So they returned with favor from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they pursued the pleasure of Allah. And Allah is the possessor of great bounty. (Surah Al-Imran, 173)
Glory be to Him who took His servant by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque, whose surroundings We have blessed, in order to show him some of Our signs. Surely, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing. Qur'an And We will certainly test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits. But give good news to the patient, who, when a misfortune befalls them, say, 'Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.' Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided." (Qur'an)

Tayyaye is actually one of the names that were used by non-arabs to call arabs. It basically refers to the tribe Tayy طي which the famous Hatim al-Tayye is from. I might be mistaken but this is what comes to mind first when I heard it. And I read that this was one of the names arabs were known for.
إِن أرَدتَ المِليَارَات مِنَ الحَسَنَاتِ فَلازِم هَذا الذِكر.. سُبحانَ اللهِ وبحَمْدِه عَدَدَ خَلْقِه، ورِضا نَفْسِه، وزِنةَ عَرْشِه، ومِدادَ كَلِماتِه. عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه قال: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّه ﷺ: " من قال إذا أوى إلى فراشِه : الحمدُ لله الذي كفَاني وآواني . الحمدُ لله الذي أطعمَني وسقاني . الحمدُ لله الذي منَّ عليَّ وأفضلَ ، اللهمَّ إني أسألُك بعزَّتِك أن تُنَجِّيَني من النارِ ؛ فقد حمِدَ اللهَ بجميعِ محامدِ الخَلْقِ كلِّهم " . المحدث : الألباني | خلاصة حكم المحدث : إسناده صحيح رجاله ثقات.
So their Lord responded to them" 'Indeed, I do not allow to be lost the work of any worker among you, whether male or female. You are but one another's allies. So those who emigrated and were expelled from their homes and were harmed in My cause and fought and were killed, I will surely remove from them their misdeeds, and I will surely admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow as reward from Allah. And Allah has with Him the bes; reward' (Qur'an)

He has refuted many accusations against the Prophet. I will give you the link to video from him and his channel.
14:45 "Arabs of Muhammed" also indicates that there were Arab tribes that were not Muslim. Which historically is correct as there were many Christian Arabs from the levantine regions (Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan) that allied themselves with the Romans at the time. In case some if the listeners weren't aware that the Romans had Arab cavalry and infantry

It is absurd for her to think like that. For example, she will never deny Julis Ceaser existed and it was well-documented and 600 years later she is trying to create controversy denying the existence of our Prophet Pbuh. Hypocrite.

Brother the people making false claims about the Prophet Muhammad pbuh existence know that he existed these evil people are intentionally trying to side track muslims
Not trying to be disrespectful… i commend the efforts … but to my knowledge i think battle of yarmouk happened under Umar peace be upon him… At 11:50 minutes
if anybody has a source where i could read the gospel of james , let me know. Becuase the one that I read has some similarity with what the Quran states but the birth mentioned in the gospel of james is different compared to the Quran. As the gospel states that there was a a midwife when Jesus was born etc.
Writing by sahaba are also there that are copied which are source to know prophet's action and teachings But this is just collaborating evidence Even if we have none of these We have isnad we have Imam malik writing (whom we know about) in muwatta that he heard from nafi (whom we know about) heard from ibn umar (whom we know about) heard from Muhammad ﷺ We know about each and every person in detail their trustworthiness their memory nearly everything we need to accept their saying as truthfull
there are parts to the Seerah writings that are not that reliable, but main important parts are supported by authentic hadith or the Quranic context I think.
That brother at 1:02:45 made an excellent point.
When Islam is similar to other religions, they claim it’s because it was copied. But when Islam is unique to other religions, they say it’s because Islam has no continuity like it claims.
That just goes to show that the conclusion is being presupposed before they even examine the evidence.

1:35:13 | I believe brother Mohammed Hijab might be referring to "Carbon-14," which is a radioactive isotope of carbon. It's commonly used in radiocarbon dating to determine the age of organic materials.

Assalamu Alaikum,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to express my appreciation for your commendable efforts in spreading awareness about Islam. I have a humble request to make. Would it be possible for you to create a response video addressing Professor Moshe Sharon's perspectives on Islam and Islamic civilization? His lectures, which are accessible on RUclips, have the potential to misguide many individuals, and I believe a thoughtful response could help provide clarity and counter any misconceptions that may arise. Thank you for considering my request.

Very informative and unique perspective to look at the history of Nabi Kareem ﷺ.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing this. May Allah open doors to spread this knowledge. Amin.
Those to whom people said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them." But it [merely] increased them in faith and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs." So they returned with favor from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they pursued the pleasure of Allah. And Allah is the possessor of great bounty. (Surah Al-Imran, 173)
Jazakallah khair for this very informative and intriguing seerah, may Allah reward and protect you and your efforts for the sake of Islam.
Brilliant video! Jazakumullahkhayr
Wow masha Allah thank you brother
"if you wanna touch the coins, you can touch them" 25:40 Beautifully said brother 🤣
Glory be to Him who took His servant by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque, whose surroundings We have blessed, in order to show him some of Our signs. Surely, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.
Qur'an
And We will certainly test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits. But give good news to the patient, who, when a misfortune befalls them, say, 'Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.' Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided."
(Qur'an)
Alhamdulillah. I personally cant wait for the next lesson. Thank You Brother. ❤️🤍🇵🇸

IMPORTANT COMMENT
Ive been trying to use the courses on the website but all the videos are down.
Could you please try to fix this asap
Coin or currency doesn’t need to be designed in haram or halal as long as it is made of valuable metal invariable cost. Any coin/currency variable/fluctuating is unfair to consumers is usury riba(wrongly called interest).
Tayyaye is actually one of the names that were used by non-arabs to call arabs. It basically refers to the tribe Tayy طي which the famous Hatim al-Tayye is from. I might be mistaken but this is what comes to mind first when I heard it. And I read that this was one of the names arabs were known for.
I got pearls and corals of knowledge ma sha Allah. Signs and miracles and historical knowledge. BarakAllah fik Wa ma sha Allah, la quwwata illa billah
Thank you.
Can you attach the slides that Hijab was reading from?
It's vital to memorize or to familiarize myself with the evidences.

So their Lord responded to them" 'Indeed, I do not allow to be lost the work of any worker among you, whether male or female. You are but one another's allies. So those who emigrated and were expelled from their homes and were harmed in My cause and fought and were killed, I will surely remove from them their misdeeds, and I will surely admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow as reward from Allah. And Allah has with Him the bes; reward'

In Indonesia, We Have Dr. Menachem Ali. He is an expert in philology and christology. He is Muallaf from Syrian Orthodox Christian. He will show you all proof that the existence of prophet Muhammad Shallallahu'laihi was sallam and Macca. I can make a claim that he is the best man in this topic in the world for now. He has refuted many accusations against the Prophet. I will give you the link to video from him and his channel.
Do show and link please!

14:45 "Arabs of Muhammed" also indicates that there were Arab tribes that were not Muslim. Which historically is correct as there were many Christian Arabs from the levantine regions (Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan) that allied themselves with the Romans at the time. In case some if the listeners weren't aware that the Romans had Arab cavalry and infantry
This is a known thing. Nothing to prove
Thank you for your video.

There were yearly trade caravans going from Mecca to Syria. There are plenty of olives and pomegranates in Syria so the Meccans definitely knew about them.
Asalamu Alaykum Warehmatullah
Which book would you recommend reading on the seerah of our beloved prophet Muhammad saw
It is absurd for her to think like that. For example, she will never deny Julis Ceaser existed and it was well-documented and 600 years later she is trying to create controversy denying the existence of our Prophet Pbuh. Hypocrite.
The Prophet ﷺ said: ❰ If Allah wants to do good to a person, He makes him comprehend the religion. ❱ Sahih al-Bukhari 71

Not trying to be disrespectful… i commend the efforts … but to my knowledge i think battle of yarmouk happened under Umar peace be upon him…
At 11:50 minutes
Correct. Everyone can have a slip of tongue. Don’t be ashamed to correct them respectfully.
if anybody has a source where i could read the gospel of james , let me know. Becuase the one that I read has some similarity with what the Quran states but the birth mentioned in the gospel of james is different compared to the Quran. As the gospel states that there was a a midwife when Jesus was born etc.
I love you for the sake of Allah, akhi Hijab.
I have a question how do we know that the seerah literature is authentic. Isnt 141 AH a bit far for a manuscript from 11 AH?
Writing by sahaba are also there that are copied which are source to know prophet's action and teachings
But this is just collaborating evidence
Even if we have none of these
We have isnad we have
Imam malik writing (whom we know about) in muwatta that he heard from nafi (whom we know about) heard from ibn umar (whom we know about) heard from Muhammad ﷺ
We know about each and every person in detail their trustworthiness their memory nearly everything we need to accept their saying as truthfull
there are parts to the Seerah writings that are not that reliable, but main important parts are supported by authentic hadith or the Quranic context I think.
