Odon: "The Qur'an describes the CREATORS OF ISLAM"!

  • Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
  • It is obvious that there is a 'missing link', which Muslims don't like to admit exists, between the historical environment in the 7th century, and that which the 9th-10th Century's SIN scenario leaves us. Too often the Standard Islamic Narrative (SIN) simply gets the wrong people in the wrong places doing the wrong things and at the wrong times.
    However, since Muslims don't think this is a problem, we are going to have to solve it for them.
    Odon has been listening to your questions about this very problem in the description boxes, and wants to help many of you who are confused concerning who exactly were all these groups of people who had an influence on the origins of Islam between the 7th century and the 9th century.
    Consequently, in this episode he has returned to define and discuss (using the Qur'an as his source) who the main players were, and how they helped to create Islam as we know it today.
    You may not agree with Odon's descriptions and analysis, and may think he is wrong in his assumptions for that which he considered happened in the 7th - 8th centuries.
    Perhaps you feel that he has misconstrued what the Qur'an was actually saying, or misinterpreted the peoples described in its pages.
    If so, tell us why in the comment box below, and Odon will look at your comments and if they are important or valid he will come back to you with his rejoinders.

    This has to be one of the most enlightening hour and a half of my life. Thank you, Odon, for your research, and for compiling and presenting all the materials. It really does make sense. For someone who has always questioned the Standard Islamic Narrative, and trying yet failing to reconcile how the Islamic faith could be anything but an enemy to the Christian faith. It was always inconsistent how the standard narrative would paint the polytheists being the mutual enemies, with their initial Jewish and Christian allies (People of the Book), and later were warred upon after "betrayal" and breaking of treaties.
    I live in a Muslim majority country, where defending your faith against Muslim theological attacks can be seen as an insult to the Islamic faith.

      It would be interesting to see if some Muslims accept the revisionist history of Islam but try to keep the metaphysical claims. I’ve seen Mormons do this. They take some of the cutting edge theories in pseudo-physics like the possibility of multiple/infinite universes and apply it to the Mormon concept of many Gods of many planets.

    As a man who grew up devouring every episode of Tintin or "Kuifje" as I knew the series more than 50 years ago I love seeing Odon and his pipe.
    I feel like I stepped into the series.
    Great work Odon.
    It's important and constructive to study the historical Mohammed and the early Muslims. Something for good reasons the historians are afraid to do.
    But the world simply has to take a critical look and analyze the ideology if it is to face it effectively.
    To me the analogies between 20th century national socialist ideology and islam are more than obvious.
    Imagine if the natsees (misspellings intentional) had been successful and the followers eventualy deify their leader Hytler. Their holy books are filled with inhumane horrors much the way the core-ann is filled with morally repugnant deeds, but for fear of retribution no one dares to point them out or take a look at the early founders of the religion in the early 20th century.
    Then 1400 years later a man like Odon comes along looking at the historical evidence and begins to demystify the great prophet Hytler.
    This is pretty much what brave modern scholars are starting to do and I am so happy about that.
    Too long has this evil ideology been shielded from criticism.

Should he have existed as a preacher (or one of the preachers) of what would become the Quran, we now know he was not preaching on his own, he was part of a group composed of Jewish-Nazarenes religious teachers and Arab preachers, that preached to some Arabs.

      Immanuel Christ Iesous already returned, just as He promised. He returned to the original problematic "jerusalem," and stomped on the ieuds until His garments were saturated with their blood.
      The sacerdotal fortified city of peace (a jerusalem) in the East was founded in the early 4th century AD, at a small ruined fort.
      You're saying the Qhaz arrived in the later 4th century AD, just after the j😢4rerusalem was founded. They were literally contradicting Our Lord, so liars and murderers, just as He tells us. They were probably plotting to seize the Christian city and do exactly what they're doing now. They claim to be "jews, but do lie."
      Oddly that word, "jew" was selectively added to the Holy Bible in the 18th century AD to confuse the unlearned. "Romans" are "the people of the Prince," Our Lord. None of the 3 "judahs" call themselves Ioudaios. Christ's royal line goes through to the royal lines of Greece and Persia to the judahites being called "Romans." They fulfilled prophecy when they ended the ieuds' AntiChrist Kingdom. They also rescued the few who weren't beheaded at the altar and cannibalized.
      Further, they protected the family and friends of Our Lord from the ieuds who sought to murder them. Most of the apostles are buried in Europe, as is Abram.
      Ioudaois were randoms, "those who inhabit," a geopolitical district called a judea or a iudeoRUM. There are many judeas and jerusalems, but the one in the Syrian desert is not Biblical Jerusalem. In fact, that Egypt isn't Biblical Egypt. That is Aeria, which was renamed Egypt by Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC. Biblical Jerusalem, Egypt, Syria, D'imasq, Persia, Babylon, Eden, etc. are elsewhere.
      The promised Jerusalem is located by Rome, which was previously called, "The City." It is the city which established the hiero/heavenly peace/pax/salem.
      The Holy Bible describes lands which in no way match the present lands.

    That was a fantastic episode. Kept my interest for the whole 90 minutes. Linguistic forensics is done all the time to the Bible, so it's great to see it applied to Islam. BTW, please tell Odon that his "Quranic Nazarene" term was not difficult for all of us. I understood the first time I heard you say it, it's Nazarenes in the world of the Quran. Similar to a Dickensian peasant or a Shakespearean villainess. A type of character endemic to a genre. If we treat the Quran as a piece of literature, we can probably squeeze more out of it.

If the early writings that later became part of the Koran were actually done with Jewish/Christian influences, then it is easy to understand why the later writers would want “Allah” to appear much sooner than it actually did to connect Allah back to creation.

  • @charlesiragui2473
    @charlesiragui2473 3 года назад +5

    I agree with Jay: Odon's chart with the shifting meanings of the terms is a significant discovery. But...
    What I see is that through 640 and the rupture of the failed apocalyptic Temple in Jerusalem Odon does an excellent job of bringing to light the initial motivations and actions of some of the Arabs who were the nucleus of what would become Islam. The correspondence between Nazarene and SIN theology regarding Jesus is striking (was the Messiah, was never crucified, is not God, will come back for the Last Judgment). And given the dating of the Sira, the Hadith and surviving Quran manuscripts, the SIN seems certain to have taken shape in the Abbasid period from 750. But the problem then is the next layer of the onion: the history from 640 to 750.
    As a French speaker, I have the advantage of having been able to read Odon's book. This leads me to many questions, but I will concentrate on just one:
    Odon mentions quite favorably the archeological and textual work of Dan Gibson on Petra as the original location of the Kaaba, as described in the Islamic tradition. But in Odon's work the linkage is unclear between qiblas pointed to Petra (which Odon cites) and the Temple built by the original Arab/Nazarene Umma.
    Gibson, one could say, has largely attempted to rescue the SIN, claiming just one major rewrite, that of the location and identity of Mecca. Given Odon's work on the Nazarenes, this seems to undermine much of Gibson's work: Muhammad, inhabitant of Mecca and recipient of revelations, would not at all constitute the origins of Islam.
    So, my question is: how did the cult surrounding the black stone come into the religion taking shape among the Believers? Odon, in his book, mentions Zubayr, as does Gibson. Odon agrees with Gibson that one should ascribe to Zubayr the selection of the site of the current Mecca and the transportation of the black stone away from Petra. But Odon does not really describe how a cult arose around Petra and the black stone, so much so that all qibla pointed towards it in the period 640(?)-750. If anything, Odon's work would seem to reinforce the much more widespread belief that the early qiblas point toward Jerusalem and the Temple of the Returned Jesus. After all, Gibson might have made measurement errors or, if Gibson's measurements are accurate, the convergence he found might be a coincidence due to the imprecision of tools from 640-750.
    Given the reality that the black stone is a part of the SIN, this may be why Odon is ready to incorporate Gibson's work despite the apparent contradiction. It would appear to me that, given the early qiblas, the role of Petra may be larger than Odon has so far acknowledged. The Nazarene communities and the Quraysh communities were scattered in various directions, largely due to trade patterns, and perhaps the historical Muhammad did come from Petra. Perhaps in the period 570-640 the pilgrimage cult of the Nabateans towards Petra remained widespread among Arabs of the Levant and even had become syncretized with nascent Christian beliefs (this is in line with Arabs also being willing to abandon trinitarian theology, as Odon is positing). Perhaps in the aftermath of the failure of Jesus to return, Arabs reverted to pre-Christian belief systems.

    • @CandanceIsMyName
      @CandanceIsMyName 3 года назад +1

      I suspect that this coalition was a bit ecumenical, likely recruiting some non-Christian Arabs trying to find common ground between Jerusalem and Petra. When the coalition failed, the Arab believers retooled their beliefs to spin away from Jerusalem, and Petra was like an old comfortable shoe. We know the earliest qibla was Jerusalem, and then Gibson shows it became Petra after some sort of fallout. He wouldn't deny that. So it seems, after the coalition broke, the believers gave up on Jerusalem, spun away from the Jews, and turned to their familiar homeland of Petra. They descended on Petra to make that city the Jerusalem of the Arabs. This is probably where we get the hadiths of Mohammad cleaning out the kaaba. These new Arab believers were trying to legitimize their Arab culture to keep their old culture and make it monotheistic. Lo and behold, they do in fact treat it like a copy of Jerusalem, down to making a qibla for it. All of this actually fits in perfectly with Odon's model. In the fallout, they were in direct competition with Jerusalem, and suddenly "Mohammad" says Jews are the ultimate enemy. It was a polemic to steer believers away from Jerusalem. Gibson and Odon are actually proving each other.

      This is an hypotheses suggested by the Lebanese scholar Joseph Azzi (Abu Musa al Hariri): the Nazarenes (Quranic Nazarenes) might be the ancestors of the Alawites (their Arabic name: Nosaïri, meaning "little Nazarenes")
      The Alawite territories in Syria are the same as the Nazarene's.
      One could find in the Alawatie creed (a very mysterious and secret creed) some common ground with the Nazarene creed
      But apart from this (name+territories+very far fetched conjecture about a common creed), we have nothing. This is not very much to establish a relationship between Nazarenes and Alawites. But it is nonetheless an interesting and audacious hypotheses.

    Nevertheless, Surah 9 contains a lot of confusion, even in relation to the traditional Islamic narrative. We find that verse 30 of the same Surah makes Jews and Christians equally polytheists. On the other hand, in this surah, there is a verse that breaks all the conditions that were adopted in the process of collecting the Qur’an, one of the simplest (there must be at least two witnesses in order for the verses that will be added to the Othmaln version to be recognized). But verse 30 of Surah 9 has caused problems to this day, because a Muslim allows himself to marry a Christian or Jewish woman and she has the right to remain in her religion, but she must accept that her children to become exclusively Muslims, ((on the pretext that she is from the People of the Book)). While Muslims do not allow their women to marry a Christian or a Jew, even under the condition that their children to become Muslims, ((because they "Christian & Jewish" are polytheistic)).
    This is a small part of the racial discrimination practiced against Christians and Jews in Islamic countries, while Muslims who immigrate to the secular West consider it a "legal right to practice these Islamic political traditions.". Unfortunately, Westerners, including most Christians, consider that there is absolutely no problem in marrying their daughters to Muslims or nonchristians in general, on the pretext that it is “personal freedom,” while Eastern Christians consider that this is in addition to being adultery, but it is acceptance of traitors who have joined their enemies but want to live among them, so this matter is completely rejected. And whoever practices it is considered outside his community and must be boycotted.. Rather, this matter was confirmed by the Apostle Paul himself in (Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14).

      And this sura (parts of it) has also been found amoung the Sanaa manuscripts with a preaching instruction written at its beginning: _la taqul bismillah_ meaning "one does not say the basmala" ("In the name of God"). This is a unique feature that shows that this text was not considered sacred at the time of the writing of the Sanaa manuscripts (since one could write instructions in it as it were the actual text). It was something else. A sort of religious manual, or a catechism

    The early history of Islam is difficult and Odon is doing a great job of trying to make sense of it. My question would be - how come there was a split in the mid 7th century from the Quranic Nazareens and how come they became the enemy as the Muslims had a similar belief to them - they were basically Jews who believed that Jesus was a messenger but not a god, and that he would return. Very similar beliefs so how could they become enemies?

But in Surah 2 and verse 113 he grouped them together, describing them as “both of them being the People of the Book.” but again in s. 13 v. 39 new form of word "ketab/ book" where it's said the Sourse / source of the Book "quran used the word .. mother .. of book the origin of books as torah gospil quran and others.
    As you know that the Quran is a cumulative book that was collected in different circumstances and at different times, so even if we try to arrange the Quran or search for one word within the Qur’anic sentences and put those sentences in a special list, we cannot say that we have discovered the truth ..

    Excellent 👍👍👍 Personally I for one belong to the community of Christians in India who trace their origin to Apostle Thomas. Here generally we're called 'nasrani', meaning the follower of Christ. According to our tradition Apostle Thomas established seven and a half churches in Malankara (part of present Kerala state). This church continued till it was discovered by Portuguese in 1498. Thereafter this church divided into Catholic and traditional churches. The resultant non-catholic church came under the Patriarch of Antioch. When British came, under the influence of CMS missionaries in Kottayam District in Kerala, reformation took place followed by a division of the Church into Mar Thoma Church (to which I belong) and the predecessor of the present Orthodox and Jacobite churches. Most of these facts can be seen from the judgments of various courts in the Church cases.

More correctly, Quraysh appears to be a slight variant of Hebrew Koresh (Cyrus) or the Persian name for Cyrus which is very similar and which derives from the Persian word kurush. Cyrus was held in extraordinarily high esteem by the Jews and is the only gentile whom the Bible refers to as "messiah."
      Persian, "Kurush"; Babylonian and Susian, "Kurash" ; Hebrew/Masoretic, "Koresh"; Greek, Kuros/Kyros;
      The Babylonian and Susian form is especially similar to Kuraish (or Quraysh if you prefer). Coincidence? Maybe, but I suspect not.

      The Quran is not a Christian book
      It is a book which has been mostly made by the collection and edition of the sermons of a Jewish Nazarene group and of Arab preachers (taught by the Jewish Nazarene) to some Arabs.
      To be more precise, the "raw material" which was used to edit the Quran were folios on which were notes and instructions and memory aids for those sermons

    If one accepts this, there seems to be a major mismatch between the desert armies that broke out of deep Arabia and conquered the Middle East in a couple of decades and the origins of Islam. It seems that their early military success may have predated their contact or adoption of Islam, the origin of which was to their more settled north. It looks like they conquered the birthplace of Islam and adopted it en route.

The error that occurs, let alone the RASM was forgotten, the transmitters (8th Century) thought in adding diacriticals and vowels, disrupted the true nature and content, the meaning of the Qur'an.

    This is my best effort at understanding the change of location of the birth of Islam from Syria to Saudi Arabia. Ibn al Zubayr was a fundamentalist Muslim who warred against what he saw as the immoral expression of Islam under the Umayyads. He made his last stand in Saudi Arabia. He had renewed worship at a holy place presumed to be Mecca but nobody knows for certain yet. He sent his son north to Syria and Persia to fight and spread a message of true Islam against the Umayyads. This attracted the Abbasids in Persia, who saw a chance to defeat the Umayyads on the basis of this ‘righteousness’ and did so in 750AD. My guess is that Ibn al Zubayr had cemented belief in the town in Saudi Arabia as the spiritual centre of Islam, distancing and differentiating it from the sinful centre of Umayyad excess. The Abbasids accepted this for the same reason but never held political residence there. Their power base was in Baghdad. It is alleged, then, that the story of the origin of Islam was transplanted to Mecca as the holy place renewed by Ibn al Zubayr, and Muhammad’s early story, along with the Quraysh tribe he grew up with, moved south to accommodate the new interpretation.

    • @OdonLafontaine
      @OdonLafontaine 3 года назад +3

      I think Ibn al Zubayr was not a "fundamentalist Muslim" but an illuminate who thought he was himself the Messiah
      As for the choice of Mecca, keep in mind that it was not chosen at first to be "the spiritual centre of Islam". Up until the end of the 8th cent., (and even the 9th) the Standard Islamic Narrative is not complete yet (so no "revelation", and then no need for a "place of the revelation").
      Mecca gradually became this "spiritual centre":
      - at first as Ibn al Zubayr's place, and the place of the Black Stone
      - then, when it was conquered by the Umayyads, they first kept it as a "reserve sanctuary"
      - then it was made into Abraham's place instead of Jerusalem. This happened along the invention of the Islamic Narrative, when Arabs parted with their Nazarenes origins and claimed to be the new "choosen people", instead of the Jews. It could have happened in the 8th cent., before the Abbasids, or after.
      - then it was made into the Prophet's birthplace, etc. This happened with the developments of the Islamic Narrative - end of 8th cent., and even later.

    20:47: Ras (رأس) means head or point according to Google translate, not river, which is Nahr (نهر). In the context of the map Ras could mean a point of land sticking out into the sea, for example a headland.
    I would think the "R." is simply short for River.
    Nahr is correctly used for river in the map at 20:33, although the name seems to be placed too far North to match the river on the 20:47 map. The R. Korásh must be identical with the present day Nahr al-Khabir al-Shamali, as it is the only river in the area major enough to be named on Google Maps. It flows from the North East towards the South West and into the sea south of Latakia.

      When you really look into Q4,171, you realise it urges the People of the Book to believe in Jesus as being sent by God (i.e. the Messiah). However, by believing so, People of the Book should not become Christians by believing in the Trinity, believing that Jesus is the son of God.
      Most translations (every translation indeed...) have it very wrong on "innamā l‑masīḥu ʿīsā ibnu maryama rasūlu allāhi wa‑kalimatuhu". Usually, it is translated as "The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was only a messenger of God, and His word" whereas innamā means here "verily"

    Genesis 3:1-8, 11-15 (JPOT)

    was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman: 'Yea, hath God said: Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'
    2 And the woman said unto the serpent (SATAN = ISLAM = THE BEAST): 'Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat;
    3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said: Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.'

    4 And the serpent (SATAN = ISLAM = THE BEAST) said unto the woman: 'Ye shall not surely die;
    5 for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.'
    6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
    7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves girdles.
    8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden toward the cool of the day; and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
    10 And he said: 'I heard Thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.'
    11 And He said: 'Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?'
