Wow, all of these insight have been spectacular. This has helped me appreciate the Quran in a much more deeper and beautiful way. All of these points are lost on someone who does not understand Arabic, so may Allah bless you for sharing these pearls with us, ameeen. Please do more InshaAllah.
Salam Alaykum Daud. Another great video mashallah. Your videos have been a great benefit the past few weeks especially in regards to arabic studies in Egypt. I’m currently in Cairo looking for accomodation near Nasr City/Zahraa so I can study at Lisan. If by any chance you knew anyone in the area with a room or studio for rent that would be much appreciated. No problem if you don’t of course. Jazakallah Khair for the knowledge you share 🙏🏽
Salam Brother Daud. I have recently come across your channel. I absolutely love it. Although you're relatively new to Islam, your debt of knowledge is very enjoyable for me. Jazakallah khair
Jazaka Allah khair brother the only comment i have is that the Quran revelation did not mean for the Arabs at that time only or for the time of the prophet only Quran is for all the people and for all the time . Today you cannot convince a non Arab about the beauty of the language of the Arabic Quran , he needs proves, that is why you find scientific ayat in the Quran that were not understood at the time of the prophet so those books of old tafseer could not be understood but today with the advance science we understand the meaning That is why you find this Ayah , we shall them our signs in the universe and in thier bodyies in order to manifist for them that this the truth. Long ago we didnt know about dna , or hubble telesscope showing us the countless galaxies and stars
It’s first and foremost for the Arabs at the time, but the meaning is to the entire world and its meaning by itself is miraculous even if we don’t dive into the details of the linguistic intricacies that are specific to the Arabic language, but every Muslim who really want to have a close personal connection with the speech of Allah should learn Arabic. It may seem a little daunting at first but after learning it I wouldn’t trade a million dollars for it. It’s beyond a price tag. The Arabic language is extremely strong and can carry so much more meaning than English and only after learning Arabic did I realize why Allah chose Arabic for his final revelation to mankind.
In scientific circles, the concept that the heart may play a role in reasoning and cognition is actually well-regarded, backed by increasing evidence. The ‘intrinsic cardiac nervous system’ contains neurons that interact with the brain and influence both emotional and cognitive processes. This view aligns with my belief as a Muslim that the heart is indeed central to reason, while the brain serves as a processor rather than the source of understanding. Research by Dr. Armour and studies from the HeartMath Institute show how the heart’s neural network impacts cognition, supporting the idea of an interconnected heart-brain relationship. Furthermore, we see similar phenomena in the plant kingdom. Trees, for example, demonstrate behaviors that suggest processing ability. Studies reveal trees’ ability to respond to each other, grow in certain ways, and even communicate. They don’t have a brain, yet they display some form of interaction and adaptation, which suggests a ‘mind’ beyond neural structures. This kind of processing, while different from human cognition, reinforces the idea that reason or awareness may come from more than just the brain.
@@DaudBurke To the best of my ability, I'll try to explain the functions of the ICNS. The heart transmits signals to the brain through pathways, conveying information about its rhythm, condition and pressure. Some of these signals are processed within the heart’s ICNS, in an "internal loop" of neurons that can independently monitor and alter heart function fully independent from the brain. In addition, the ICNS sends signals back to the brain. This information indirectly influences certain regions of the brain involved in emotional processing and physiological regulation. This can subtly shape emotions and perceptions, as the brain interprets the heart’s state as part of the body’s overall condition. While the heart is more complex than a simple pump, it’s inaccurate to state that it functions as a cognitive organ. People with artificial hearts, who continue to experience full cognitive and emotional function, are living proof that the heart’s physical presence is not essential for these processes. Lastly, in Islām, cognitive functions are strictly attributed to the physical heart. The verses and statements of Muhammad are clear in indicating that cognition is solely within the piece of flesh in our chests.

assalamualaykum, What is your opinion on Mawlid? I used to think it was a clear cut bidah but then I did some research and pretty much 99% of the classical authoritative ulema have been in favour of it from Imam Nawawi, ibn hajar, suyuti, subki, ibn kathir, ibn rajab and so many more. What's your take?
Where did you get this 99% from? That definitely is not the case at all. I don't know if all the scholars you mentioned supported it or not, but I know Ibn kathir didn't. Beware of where you get your knowledge from. You will be misguided if you are not careful. Besides this is not even a matter that is hard to grasp. We take our knowledge from the Quran and sunnah. If any scholar makes a statement that isn't backed up by the Quran or sunnah then their statment is not binding.
ما شاء الله يا شيخ داوود، أحبك فى الله والله، I just wanted to mention that when I researched the story of Al Walid Ibn el Mughira, there was no proof that the word Zanim was understood as bastard, the story that he was a bastard is very weak and didn't find a solid proof for it. just pointing it out if you'd like to research it more. جزاك الله خيرا.
When it comes to tafseer We don’t use the same rulings on the narrations that we would use when dealing with ahkaam. So it’s perfectly fine for most of the mufasireen to use narrations that have weak chains to explain the Quran as long as it doesn’t assert anything that is contradictory to what is known from established matters in the deen. And even this wouldn’t always be a reason to reject the whole narration, but rather it would be a small issue. Inside of the narration itself that would be left, and the rest of it would be taken. This is the general methodology used by the Giants in tafseer such as ibn jarir atabari, Ibn Kathir, and albaghawi.
As far as the word goes it’s known in Arabic poetry as that meaning alongside of views of the salaf that ibn jarir brings with this meaning alongside of another meaning as well. Tafseer and serah isn’t like Hadith in ahkam where you find a weak person and then throw out the whole thing with the view itself. Check out the tafseer for reference and also I recommend the books by d. musaa’id tayyar such as التحرير في أصول التفسير
I find it challenging to understand how a learned Muslim could interpret the Qur’ān’s description of human reproduction as scientifically accurate. In Sūrah al-Insān, for instance, it describes humans as being created from a "mixed nutfah," which is a mixture of semen and female ejaculate. Modern science, however, explains that a zygote forms from the fusion of a single sperm cell with an ovum.
Ovum is the female nutfah. And nutfa to a man is the semen. Mix these and you got what is being talked about. Also the only contradiction here is between ones interpretation of the tafseer and the scientific understanding, not that the actual Arabic texts claims something contrary.
@@DaudBurke Are you saying that every tafsīr has misunderstood the meaning of nutfah? That it doesn’t refer to manī, but rather to the egg cell? How does that interpretation work? Plus, semen itself isn’t strictly required for procreation since sperm can be directly extracted from the testes for IVF.
@@DaudBurke No, manī refers specifically to semen, not to the ovum or sperm. It's a fluid that's either thick and white or thin and yellow, and it does not resemble a tadpole or the egg cell. Moreover, the female manī does not contain the ovum.
I'm learning from you. thanx a lot.
❤Quran is the best gift. may we always remember and be grateful for it
