Shaykh, the most critical discussion that would arise from accepting the statement of Ibn 'Abbas is the finality of Prophethood. I have read a few explanations but they weren't completely satisfying. I wish you could produce a second part focussing on this issue and analyzing the statements of various scholars. Shukran!
Salaam, just found this video now 😂 I personally think this hadith does not contradict the finality of the prophet as the hadith states ‘like your prophet’ ‘like Adam, moses, isa’ etc. key word is ‘like’ which could possibly mean similar characteristics, qualities etc but not the same. Theres reports of Imam Hassan/Hussain or Imam Mahdi being ‘like’ the prophet peace be upon him. So therefore, this doesn’t take away the finality of Muhammad.
As salamu ‘alaykum, there appears to be a Quran reference mistake at 17:00... The ayah referenced is Surah Ash-Sharh which is not referencing human creation but Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
@@BasiraEducation Abu Hurairah said: “Once when the Prophet of Allah was sitting with his Companions, a cloud came above them, so the Prophet of Allah said: ‘Do you know what this is?’ They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know better.’ He said: ‘These are the clouds that are to drench the earth, which Allah [Blessed and Most High] dispatches to people who are not grateful to Him, nor supplicate to Him.’ Then he said: ‘Do you know what is above you?’ They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know better.’ He said: ‘Indeed it is a preserved canopy of the firmament whose surge is restrained.’ Then he said: ‘Do you know how much is between you and between it?’ They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know better.’ He said: ‘Between you and it [is the distance] of five-hundred year.’ Then he said: ‘Do you know what is above that.’ They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know better.’ He said: ‘Verily, above that are two Heavens, between the two of them there is a distance of five-hundred years’ - until he enumerated seven Heavens - ‘What is between each of the two Heavens is what is between the heavens and the earth.’ Then he said: ‘Do you know what is above that?’ They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know better.’ He said: ‘Verily, above that is the Throne between it and the heavens is a distance [like] what is between two of the heavens.’ Then he said: ‘Do you know what is under you?’ They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know better.’ He said: ‘Indeed it is the earth.’ Then he said: ‘Do you know what is under that?’ They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know better.’ He said: ‘Verily, below it is another earth, between the two of which is a distance of five-hundred years.’ Until he enumerated seven earths: ‘Between every two earths is a distance of five-hundred years.’ Then he said: ‘By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad! If you were to send [a man] down with a rope to the lowest earth, then he would descend upon Allah.’ Then he recited: He is Al-Awwal, Al-Akhir, Az-Zahir Al-Batin, and He has knowledge over all things.” Grade: Da’if (Darussalam) Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3298 In-book reference : Book 47, Hadith 350 English translation : Vol. 5, Book 44, Hadith 3298

There is a book on this athar called Tahzeer un Naas an Athar Ibnu Abbas If 7 earths are believed to be possible, they'll have their particular last prophets as well. This book proves that even then RasūlAlļāh ﷺ will be the Khaatam un Nabiyyin❤️

wa alaykum as salam wa rahmatullah. Thanks for pointing this out. It should be Surat al-Tin.
i think this is related to Parallel Earths (Parallel World), there is also Hadith talk about distance between Earth#1 to Earth#2 is 500 years
Can you point me to these hadiths?
