@@BloggingTheology May I ask you one simple question, Mr. Paul? Before Muhammad died in AD 632, he got the complete revelation of Quran, right? He was illiterate. Still he ensured that the Quran verses were recorded with the help of his companions (sahabis). Those ayaths were recorded on plain stones, camel bones, animal skin and palm tree leaves according to Islamic history! That was the very FIRST QURAN! THE ORIGINAL QURAN! THE REFERENCE QURAN WHICH SHOULD LAST FOREVER! THE VERY QURAN ALLAH PROMISED TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT FOREVER! NOW THE QUESTION IS: WHERE IS THAT ORIGINAL REFERENCE QURAN AS ON TODAY? WHERE IS THAT QURAN PROTECTED AND PRESERVED BY ALLAH HIMSELF AS ON TODAY? IF IT EXISTS TODAY , YES IT IS A MIRACLE AS MUSLIMS CLAIM! IF NOT, ISLAM SIMPLY COLLAPSES! You agree, Paul? However what is the real truth? 1. Most probably that Original Reference Quran recorded by the Islamic prophet was included in the Quran portions destroyed by fire on orders of Caliph Uthman. If so that Original Reference Quran is lost forever! 2. What about the present Quran available with us? a. First post Islamic prophet Quran was made after his death in AD 632. Caliph Abu Bakr was forced to compile the first post Islamic prophet Quran because of sudden death of many Quran memorizers in the subsequent wars. Did Allah or prophet commanded him to do the compilation of Quran? No, never! In fact Allah himself promised to preserve and protect his Quran forever! However sudden loss of so many Quran memorizers forced Caliph Abu Bakr to take his own decision, without seeking advice from Allah or Muhammad! That is how the Abu Bar Quran came into existence! Most Muslims will get shocked that this First Quran had no involvement of Allah or prophet! b. Thus Abu Bakr appointed a young man, Zyad Ibn Tabith, who was previously the scribe of the Islamic prophet before his death. Zyad Ibn Tabith was obviously reluctant to undertake the job, which was not commanded by Allah or prophet. However he had no other choice, but to obey the orders of the king. c. Why did Caliph Abu Baker ordered the compilation of Quran, which was not commanded by Allah or prophet when Allah himself promised to protect his Quran? Means, Abu Baker had no faith in Allah's words? And he compiled a Quran with the help of above Zyed Ibn Tabit. Obviously an unauthorized Quran! However even this unauthorized Quran was not complete! One ayath was missing in it for so many years! No one could identify or realize or point out the grave mistake! Finally Zyed Ibn Tabit while revising the Abu Baker Quran, on orders of Caliph Uthman, remembered about the grave mistake and added the ayath in the Revised Uthman's Quran! And Caliph Uthman ordered the destruction of all other Quran materials!!! d. Even the Revised Uthman's Quran had its own problems. Two solid Surahs were missing in it and also one ayath on stoning of adulterous women and verse of suckling the breast by adult men! e. Abdullah ibn Masʽood was one of the four most prominent Quran teachers appointed by Islamic prophet. He totally disapproved the Revised Uthman's Quran too! Then, what credibility Revised Uthman's Quran got ? f. Now Muslims use many different ARABIC QURANS! See the links below please. 1. Display of 26 versions of Arabic Quran @ Hyde Park , London ruclips.net/video/EsgphL9lGcc/видео.html 2. Why are there over 30 different Arabic Qur’ans? - Quranic Corrections Ep. 3 ruclips.net/video/EpsnXMZ5lEE/видео.html g. Here is a solid example for totally different Arabic Qurans. FROM THE QUR'AN ACCORDING TO IMAM HAFS sihraani ... two works of magic ... 28:48 FROM THE QUR'AN ACCORDING TO IMAM WARSH saahiraani ... two magicians ... 28:48 Obviously "two works of magic" FROM THE QUR'AN ACCORDING TO IMAM HAFS cannot be exactly equal to "two magicians" FROM THE QUR'AN ACCORDING TO IMAM WARSH. Both cannot be true! When that is the ground reality, many Muslim brethren still hold on to the belief that ""Allah sent the Final Testament, the Qur'an, and unlike the previous books, has never been changed.""
Thank you so much it helped alot for my daughter im a Christ and she is muslim and she wanted this she Has loved your Videos since she saw your RUclips Chanel thank you so much
What? Did you say that you are Christian? Your duty is to do everything you can to save your precious daughter from hellfire. Jesus said, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.' Muhammad was a liar, a false prophet, and exploited women. No young girl should respect such a wolf.
Ameen Bro. Ur handle name is inappropriate. Not everyone is gifyed to be born a muslim. They did jot choose to be born in an idol worshipping family. And yes the truth has to be sought and can be obvious. I hope everyone agrees that the search and change is not easy to do. Everyone has their ossues and problems in life to just stay afloat. Your handle name may insult them and chase them away when u r in any conslversation using this acct. If you think its so easy to change, why are we in such a low state of Iman? Worse some leaving Islam altogether? Lets be kind and open to them and be welcoming....and this does not mean being weak.
@@ZakirHussain-oz9su It does no one any good to be born a muslim. For as Jesus said, unless one is BORN AGAIN (spiritually regenerated), one cannot see the kingdom of God. Flesh cannot produce Spirit, no matter how hard it tries.. Animals, plants, and bacteria also reproduce according to their kind. How are muslims unique in this regard? What's this muslim obsession with 'strength'? What is wrong with being 'weak'? When people abandon their pretense to be 'big shots', to 'call the shots' as it were, God is able to use them as instruments in displaying His strength. As Jesus said, 'the meek will inherit the earth'. The apostle James quotes, 'God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.'
@@jared2244 Your disgustingly negative emotions and attitude are the only “carnal” thing here. And your misinformation is the only real “garbage”. Listen & learn with an open mind, remove the hate from your heart, and then perhaps you’ll be on your way out of a ‘carnal garbage’ mentality and into sincerity, truth, and enlightenment. And know that God is not the least unaware of anything that you do.
@@celestialknight2339 " ..negative emotions and attitude are the only carnal thing here" This shows that you dont understand the meaning off to be carnal. "Learn & learn with an open mind" When Muslims speak of open mind they actually mean that mind should be open toward Islam. Once that open mind does not favor Islam there is a problem. Those who demonstrate an open mind, and walk away from Islam are branded apostate and traitors.. They are humiliated, scorn, describe as fake, and all kinds of derogatory things are said about them. The issue is never addressed but the personal attacks continues relentlessly. Sometimes apostate have to flee for their lives, and face family abandonment. "..remove the hate from your heart" Speaking against the evils perpetrated by Muslims because of Islam is considered hate.
@@marcusonesimus3400 we are sure in our Lord, the Lord of Abraham and all the prophets. Allah is the only true God, eloh in Hebrew and Allaaha in Aramaic ( the language Jesus spoke). Jesus is the Messiah and a man and messenger. Claiming he is more than that is blasphemy and paganism. Read below if you care about God's scriptures. All prophets have preached the same thing. Worship the one God and do not attribute partners to him. Even Jesus and his deciples preached this. The only outlier was Paul who single Handley changes the religion of God to the degree that he did. Even going against James and the disciples ministry. Read the scriptures and you'll see the contridictory beliefs Paul added below. (Matthew 4:1) Jesus was tempted (James 1:13) God cannot be tempted (John 1:29) Jesus was seen (1 John 4:12) No man has ever seen God (Acts 2:22) Jesus was and is a man, sent by God (Numbers 23:19, Hosea 11:9) God is not a man (Hebrews 5:8-9) Jesus had to grow and learn (Isaiah 40:28) God doesn't ever need to learn (1 Corinthians 15: 3-4) Jesus Died (1 Timothy 1:17) God cannot die (Hebrews 5:7) Jesus needed salvation (Luke 1:37) God doesn't need salvation (John 4:6) Jesus grew weary (Isaiah 40:28) God cannot grow weary (Mark 4:38) Jesus slept (Psalm 121: 2-4) God doesn't sleep (John 5:19) Jesus wasn't all powerful (Isaiah 45: 5-7) God is all powerful (Mark 13:32) Jesus wasn't all knowing (Isaiah 46:9) God is all knowing Please re-read your scriptures properly Christians. And analyse the contradictions within. Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) was a mighty messenger sent by God. Not God incarnate.
Your god does not exist. The God of Isrel reated the universe, chose the nation Israel to bear His Name, and sent His Son Jesus into the world to save the lost.
Dr. Mustafa khattab's translation of the Quran is one of my favourite.People who want a simple translation of Quran can use Dr.Mustafa khattab's and Abdel haleem's translation. BTW, My favourite Translation of the quran is the one done by Sir Mohammed marmaduke Pickthal.
*Mustafa Khattab:* easiest to understand *Sahih Inter..:* syntactically matches the Arabic *Abdul Haleem:* simplest use of language *Yusuf Ali:* poetic old English *Muhsin Khan:* includes a lot of context
The best translation for our times by far MashAllah So nice to see the man who did it . Thank you brother Paul . May Allah bless you and him abundantly
Assalamualaikum everyone I was extremely busy as i had an important work to do. Hence the I missed doing the timestamps for this one. Another brother has completed the Timestamps 👍🏻 PS: I've completed the timestamps on the recent video of Daniel Haqiqatou vs Muslim Feminist You can check that out جَزاكَ اللهُ خَـيْراً ❤️
Thanks to Mr. Williams for this beautiful program . It was very much needed . Good answers made by Dr. Khattab on horizontal inquiries made by Mr. Williams about the most common words in The Qur’an like “He “ , “ we “ , “ They “, “ I “ namely . It is also remarkable that Mr Khattab went through the prophet ‘s( Saw ) Hadith further to find help if there is any to interpret certain verses of The Qur’an in his book. That’s a smart move . I will definitely buy his various books on The Qur’an. Thanks again. God bless .
Dr. Khattab, what a delightful talk. I'm grateful that people like you make it easier for people like me, and my kids to understand Quran. I'll be looking for your books. Thanks Paul 👍🏽😘
Brilliant talk. Loved it. May Allah bless br. Paul for inviting such incredible guests like Dr Mustafa Khattab whose Quran translation has done a huge service in making Quran accessible to almost everyone.
44:10 understand the quran in 4-6 months, without needing translation anymore, I will buy that book (the clear Quran dictionary) and show it to my family, inshaAllah, share it for sadaqah jariyah, jazakAllah, link is in the description to the website.
that book is exactly what I need!!! A few years ago I was motivated to learn the Arabic for Quran and that was my exact method...I thought I should just learn the words in the Quran instead of the whole arabic language. So I found a list of commonly repeated words in the Qu'ran and printed them off. But doing it all myself was a bit too overwhelming for me and although i stuck with it for a week, i ended up giving up. Definitely going to get this book and learn those 2000 root words!
Dr Mustafa Khattab :D He was in Mississauga Ontario at MNN mosque a few months ago and I was there at Juma, he gave the khutbah. He gave a good sermon so as I was leaving I asked 1 of the volunteers of the mosque "who was that" and he said "that was Dr. Mustafa Khattab" and i was like ahhhhh. I couldn't back in the mosque as it was VERY busy ..missed my chance to say salam
Every time I see a video uploaded by you brother Paul, I realize that you are fully embraced with Islam and Allah will reward you more than my words can do the reward justice! God willing, you continue this incredulous work. AlhamdullAllah for everything, the good and the bad! ماشاء الله ماشاء الله
Toronto is in desperate trouble because (a) the rich have become so greedy, and (b) so many of its people have rejected the way of Christ to serve 'other gods'. Notable among those 'other gods' is the abstract theory which muhammad concocted to replace the God of Israel-----------as though that were actually possible. Yes, Ishmael the bastard son persecuted Isaac the legitimate son, and not much has changed since.
You should have more doubts. Expand those doubts until you discover Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. After that you will have no good reason to doubt, because He is not just a messenger. He is the MESSAGE itself. Paul betrayed Christ and is now trying desperately to justify himself.. But I don't believe that he really became a Christian. His own account leads me to believe that he was searching for 'religious experiences'. Who knows how this adventure will turn out?
Thank you Brother Paul for another informative interview. I have the Clear Qu'ran and was excited to meet the author and learn the reason behind all his efforts. Now that I'm aware of the dictionary I'll purchase that also. May Allah bless all his works, Insha Allah they will pay many dividends in the form of reverts and the growth of the Ummah through a comprehensive understanding of The Creator's communications to us.
The next major quran translation should go into depth on the Arabic precision and eloquence you can't get from a mere translation of a ayat's semantic dimension into the very ambiguous English language. We need to highlight the linguistic miracle of the Qur'anic Arabic semantically, rhetorically, grammatically, and morphemically. It is not impossible to explain this in English if you're willing to take the time and possibly have a translation which is several times bigger than the pages with the translation itself. A unsuspecting reader doesn't need to know arabic to be shown, for instance, the usage of the root word صرف in meaning "way of escape [from falling into hell]" in surah al-kahf [18:53] and also used by Allah in a different shade of meaning in some of the following ayah #54 in the form صرّفنا meaning "We have explained". Interestingly, this root word is not used in ayah 58 and in its stead Allah uses "مَوئِلًا" to also mean "way of escape". We need translations out there to point out these fundamental linguistic nuances and precisions since THIS stuff is the real miracle of The Qur'an. This stuff is what made the Quran penetrate the hearts of the Arabs. .. The ayah where مصرفا is used to mean "way of escape": Al-Kahf 18:53 وَرَءَا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ٱلنَّارَ فَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَنَّهُم مُّوَاقِعُوهَا وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا۟ عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا English - Sahih International And the criminals will see the Fire and will be certain that they are to fall therein. And they will not find from it a way elsewhere. ... Where صرّفنا is used to mean "We diversified/explained" Al-Kahf 18:54 وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِى هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ لِلنَّاسِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍۚ وَكَانَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَكْثَرَ شَىْءٍ جَدَلًا English - Sahih International And We have certainly diversified in this Quran for the people from every [kind of] example; but man has ever been, most of anything, [prone to] dispute. Where "موئلا" is used for meaning "way of escape" like in the first quoted ayah but uses a different word: Al-Kahf 18:58 وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ذُو ٱلرَّحْمَةِۖ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُهُم بِمَا كَسَبُوا۟ لَعَجَّلَ لَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَۚ بَل لَّهُم مَّوْعِدٌ لَّن يَجِدُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦ مَوْئِلًا English - Sahih International And your Lord is the Forgiving, the possessor of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment. Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find an escape. ... We must show the world these subtle semantic connections, shifts, and differences! This is of utmost importance
I feel like Nouman Ali Khan would do amazing job at that if he worked on a translation. *For Example:* When Allah kicks Satan out of paradise, Satan says to Allah: "…فبما أغوويتني” which is translated as “Because You left me to go astray…” and then Satan makes a promise to mislead the people. But the word "غوا" from “أغوويتني” means that the person was tempted/seduced/enticed into doing something wrong. So it adds another dimension: Satan is saying that Allah set him up to fail. He’s basically accusing Allah of entrapment. He’s implicitly saying: “You knew this was gonna happen all along - yet You allowed everything to be setup in a way that would make me commit the sin.” Does that ring a bell? It’s because it sounds like Atheist logic. And it’s amazing how Allah captures the entire attitude in just three Arabic words.

'Smarts' do not gain one admittance into heaven. Humility is more important. The Bible says, 'Do not be wise in your own estimation.' It also says that 'the foolishness of God is wiser than men.'
Excellent video dear Paul and dear Khattab. I really admire Bro Khattab’s “The Clear Quran “ and it’s wonderful work. Though I refer to many Quran English translations, my preference goes to Sahih International, Abdul Haleem, Mufti Taqi Usmani, AYusuf Ali, Hilali & Khan Moshin Khan, Talal itani etc., etc., In this video, I am lucky to have some insights into the Quran from the Bro Khattab, and I am grateful for that. I hope multitudes of Muslims are benefitted from this discussion, Alhamdulillah. Thanks dear Paul, for your amazing work and I have no doubt that Allah Swt have endowed you with great blessing of artistry of knowledge. I echo here what the angels said to Allah Swt: Subhaanaka!,innaka antal'aleemul hakeem. Allah Swt bless you both with long heathy life and support with all means to continue in your noble endeavour Ameen.

Amazing work my respected brothers Paul & Mustapha , really appreciated , not to forget the very precise arithmetics as well ....Jazakoum Allah Khayran
One of my favorite testaments to the miraculous nature of the Qur'an, are the numbers involved in Surah 57, Al-Hadid, or The Iron. The abjad value (a numerical correspondence to the alphabet of ancient development that is consistent across several Semitic languages) of Al-Hadid or ALHDYD is 1+30+8+4+10+4... which equals, 57. The abjad value of HDYD without the definite article is 8+4+10+4... which equals 26. What is the atomic number of Iron? Allahu akbar it's 26. Google "atomic mass of 57," and what pops up, is an isotope of iron. Look up "isotopes of iron" on Wikipedia, and look for the stable isotopes, and you will find there are 3, and 57 is *smack in the middle,* the only isotope with a 1/2- spin and parity, while Iron-56 and Iron-58 have 0+ spin. Any layman will be able inshallah to behold that Iron was given a special place in Allah's creation. There is also Surah An-Nahl, the structure of which has a motif of the numbers 16 and 32 unlike any other Surah, 16 being the number of Chromosomes in a male bee, a female having 32. I kindly invite anyone to look it up because this one is harder to pick apart in brief. There are many numerical wonders said to exist in the Qur'an, but these are just two that I recall and impress me as undeniable signs from the Creator (while some other examples cited by others may indeed be overreaching) that He has honored the believers with the truth.
Mustafa translation is owesome ijtihad. The only thing I miss in his translation is the words must be lined up word by word compared to quran anywhere possible in each surah. If Mustafa did that the linguistic spirit of quran would be felt in the translation too I think.
The miraculous power of the Quran comes into effect only when the ayats and Surahs are recited in Arabic, the original language. That is the reason for the prohibition on translation. And yes, the Quran has miraculous power. Sufis especially have that knowledge
Assalamualaikum, many2 thx to both of u. Life is a learning journey to improve ourselves towards Allah subhananahuwataala. May Allah subhananahuwataala blessed & protects both of u... Amin
Fascinating show. I first saw him speak in Let the Quran speak/Canadian show. EFDawah was distributing Clear Quran for free in their Dawah show attendees if they were interested. Very dedicated gentleman and scholar. Cultured man. Not the polemics style. Plain clean clear presentation. His famous lines "so on and so forth". Drawing from previous revelation is not disputed. Is Sidney H Griffith's The Bible in Arabic (Princeton 2013) mentioned in his references? Aramaic (Jesus') and Arabic (Muhammad's) were probably sister languages. Left to the man/the reader to sort out the texts? Like The Jerome Biblical Commentary for the 21st Century (t&tclark 2022), perhaps The Mustafa Quranic Commentary for the 21st Century to follow on from his works and the famous The Study Quran (HarperOne 2017).
Assalamu alaikum brother Paul. Thank you for this most wonderful discussion on the miracle which is the Quran. Your question to Dr. Khattab on surah 4, verse 34 was addressed credibly and comprehensively but if I may add my ten cents worth: the word “daraba” has several meanings as used in the Quran. Moses is commanded to “daraba” the sea (part the sea) and is usually translated as ‘strike the sea” to allow the Israelites to escape from bondage in Egypt. But it means to “Separate”the sea or “part” the sea. Verse 34 lays down 3 steps: admonish them, refuse to share their beds, and lastly “wadribuhun”. If “daraba” here is translated as “separate” or “part” from them, and we look at the meaning of the next verse 35: If you fear a breach between them twain, appoint (two) arbiters, one from his family and the other from hers; if they wish for peace, Allah will cause their reconciliation…..” then, as Dr Khattab said, verse 34 is not taken out of context and is certainly not a stand-alone verse. It’s followed by a divorce scenario and how to address it. Also, it’s well to remember that the prophet, peace be upon him, said that the best among you is one who is good to his wife.
Ma Shaa Allah Dr. Mustafa has done a great job in his attempt to bring the words of the Quran more closer to it's Arabic meaning. I'm also glad that he's using the word God for Allah in his translation. However, it should not be the word God for the English audience Quran and Allah for the Muslim one as he said. Since some Muslims and non-Muslims still don't understand that Allah means God, it's better to show it as God(Allah) in both "Clear Qurans". We should also thank and appreciate the efforts of our earlier translators despite their avoidance of the English word God as Allah in their translations.

Arabic is such a beauty! Quoran introduced a new form of literature alongside poems "Chieer" and normal writing "Natr" that's why the challenge of coming with something similar to the Quran is very hard! it is not just about eloquence it is about bringing a new form of communication other than these 3
We used to recite a surah similar to one of the Musabbihaat, and I no longer remember it, but this much I have indeed preserved: 'O you who truly believe, why do you preach that which you do not practise?' (and) 'that is inscribed on your necks as a witness and you will be examined about it on the Day of Resurrection'. (as-Suyuti, Al-Itqan fii Ulum al-Qur'an, p.526).
(Surah Az-Zukhruf, ayah 3) "Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Quran that you might understand." Dr Mustafa said the Arabic has no contradiction, no mistakes, the translators makes mistakes but not the Arabic.
@@anarchorepublican5954 Meanwhile, theres not even a single original Hebrew manuscript of Torah and original Aramaic manuscript of Gospel that can be carbon dated back to the time of Moses and Jesus.

This is one of the best discussion on blogging theology to this date. Mustafa Khattab seems so educated and his word of choice are so precise that I feel myself lucky to be able to watch this video. 💓
13:56 Even if those other stories are found elsewhere, the Qur’an is there as a confirmation of what has happened in history and a reminder. That means the stories of Jesus in those thrown out Gospels are remnants of a historical event.
Salam Paul, thanks for this nice guest and talk. I've started reading a book on the Quran biography. Contains informations but I don't like it much, for instance it spells Quran with a K which generally is a good indicator that things won't be very satisfying.
Assalam O Alaikum Brother Paul!! Can you please do a video on The Miracle Of Human Language? I feel like this is a major sign from Allah SWT that people don't talk about that much even though it is mentioned in the Quran. It would be refreshing to see you bring on a muslim linguist to talk about this! Salam!
"And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge" (Quran 30:22)
Even wicked men may produce remarkable Art. Symmetry is not proof of legitimate spiritual authority. We know that muhammad was either woefully ignorant of sacred history or distorted it to blasphemous ends. In fact one story gos that muhammad was unsure of the origin of his visions, whether they were from the heavenly realm or the demonic realm, but Khadija persuaded him of their legitimacy. he should have retained his doubts.
@@marcusonesimus3400 so how did he make a symmetrical book while never claiming it? Nor did any scholars claim that because they didn’t notice it until we had computers.
@@DarioHaruni Mysterious mathematical patterns have been detected in the Bible. So if you have different texts to which scholars ascribe a similar attributes, yet which contradict each other in essentials, is that attribute ther deciding factor in choosing between them? Obviously not. The content and meaning are deciding factors. If you have read the Old Testament account of Israel's exodus from Egypt, you will know that the pagan Egyptian magicians were able to match some of Moses' miracles, but not all. The devil has real spiitual power, albeit 'stolen' power, for only God has true creative power. It is not for nothing that witchcraft, spiritism, and mediumship were forbidden to the Israelites, although the disobedient among them did indulge in these evils, like their neighbors. So it is possible to imagine a counterfeit text from the demonic realm which MIMICS certain features of the Word of God, yet is clearly not rom God because it changes Biblical doctrine or alters Biblical facts. This is how reports of 'supernatural' inspiration in anti-Biblical texts ought to be regarded. Then there is the question of what human Art can achieve. It is sometimes remarkable to see how by training, experience, and intuition a master of musical composition can create a work perfectly proportioned to the analyst or theoretician; yet the composer himself was not fully aware why he wrote what he did. This creative process remains within the bounds of Nature. Well, not necessarily. Some Christian composers did pray for guidance, or had some awareness that God was helping them generate ideas.
Good morning from my side, Sir. I just subscribe your channel. I'm here just to learn English, all of your videos really helpful for me to, I found a lots of new vocabularies and I be able to learn how to speak in English more better, I mean the intonation. Barakallah, 💖 from Indonesian.
The translation can be improved as our understanding of Quran in Arabic is evolving and expanding based on modern discoveries. That's why quran is miraculous our understanding of it grow with knowledge and discoveries and as society becomes more sophisticated its understanding of Quran becomes more advanced. Dr. Shahrour established an advanced thinking methodology that revealed amazing dimensions that expanded our knowledge of Quran and explained part of quran that had been explained wrongfully for 100s of years and some are contradicting to quran.
Thank you for this great video! Paul could I request you to do a video on a book called “The 100 most influential persons in history” by Micheal H Hart. Many people are interested in this book.
We used to recite a surah which resembled in length and severity to (Surah) Bara'at. I have, however, forgotten it with the exception of this which I remember out of it: "If there were two valleys full of riches, for the son of Adam, he would long for a third valley, and nothing would fill the stomach of the son of Adam but dust". ( Sahih Muslim, Vol. 2, p.501).
Brother Paul is asking some questions I believe to bring out these issues to light and somehow I believe he knows the answers (exact answers) but humble enough to leave the opinion of the guest to manifest. So levels of Qur'an translation or interpretation (even Arabs needed interpretation in some areas). First. Qur'an is used to interpret the Qur'an, Then the Sunnah . Those are the major sources of interpretation.
It is reported from Ismail ibn Ibrahim from Ayyub from Naafi from Ibn Umar who said: "Let none of you say 'I have acquired the whole of the Qur'an'. How does he know what all of it is when much of the Qur'an has disappeared? Rather let him say 'I have acquired what has survived.'" (as-Suyuti, Al-Itqan fii Ulum al-Qur'an, p.524).

May I ask you one simple question, Mr. Paul?
Before Muhammad died in AD 632, he got the complete revelation of Quran, right?
He was illiterate. Still he ensured that the Quran verses were recorded with the help of his companions (sahabis). Those ayaths were recorded on plain stones, camel bones, animal skin and palm tree leaves according to Islamic history! That was the very FIRST QURAN! THE ORIGINAL QURAN! THE REFERENCE QURAN WHICH SHOULD LAST FOREVER! THE VERY QURAN ALLAH PROMISED TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT FOREVER!
NOW THE QUESTION IS: WHERE IS THAT ORIGINAL REFERENCE QURAN AS ON TODAY? WHERE IS THAT QURAN PROTECTED AND PRESERVED BY ALLAH HIMSELF AS ON TODAY?
IF IT EXISTS TODAY , YES IT IS A MIRACLE AS MUSLIMS CLAIM! IF NOT, ISLAM SIMPLY COLLAPSES!
You agree, Paul?
However what is the real truth?
1. Most probably that Original Reference Quran recorded by the Islamic prophet was included in the Quran portions destroyed by fire on orders of Caliph Uthman. If so that Original Reference Quran is lost forever!
2. What about the present Quran available with us?
a. First post Islamic prophet Quran was made after his death in AD 632. Caliph Abu Bakr was forced to compile the first post Islamic prophet Quran because of sudden death of many Quran memorizers in the subsequent wars. Did Allah or prophet commanded him to do the compilation of Quran? No, never!
In fact Allah himself promised to preserve and protect his Quran forever! However sudden loss of so many Quran memorizers forced Caliph Abu Bakr to take his own decision, without seeking advice from Allah or Muhammad!
That is how the Abu Bar Quran came into existence! Most Muslims will get shocked that this First Quran had no involvement of Allah or prophet!
b. Thus Abu Bakr appointed a young man, Zyad Ibn Tabith, who was previously the scribe of the Islamic prophet before his death. Zyad Ibn Tabith was obviously reluctant to undertake the job, which was not commanded by Allah or prophet. However he had no other choice, but to obey the orders of the king.
c. Why did Caliph Abu Baker ordered the compilation of Quran, which was not commanded by Allah or prophet when Allah himself promised to protect his Quran? Means, Abu Baker had no faith in Allah's words? And he compiled a Quran with the help of above Zyed Ibn Tabit. Obviously an unauthorized Quran! However even this unauthorized Quran was not complete! One ayath was missing in it for so many years! No one could identify or realize or point out the grave mistake! Finally Zyed Ibn Tabit while revising the Abu Baker Quran, on orders of Caliph Uthman, remembered about the grave mistake and added the ayath in the Revised Uthman's Quran! And Caliph Uthman ordered the destruction of all other Quran materials!!!
d. Even the Revised Uthman's Quran had its own problems. Two solid Surahs were missing in it and also one ayath on stoning of adulterous women and verse of suckling the breast by adult men!
e. Abdullah ibn Masʽood was one of the four most prominent Quran teachers appointed by Islamic prophet. He totally disapproved the Revised Uthman's Quran too! Then, what credibility Revised Uthman's Quran got ?
f. Now Muslims use many different ARABIC QURANS! See the links below please.

FROM THE QUR'AN ACCORDING TO IMAM HAFS
sihraani
... two works of magic ... 28:48
FROM THE QUR'AN ACCORDING TO IMAM WARSH
saahiraani
... two magicians ... 28:48
Obviously "two works of magic" FROM THE QUR'AN ACCORDING TO IMAM HAFS cannot be exactly equal to "two magicians" FROM THE QUR'AN ACCORDING TO IMAM WARSH. Both cannot be true!
When that is the ground reality, many Muslim brethren still hold on to the belief that ""Allah sent the Final Testament, the Qur'an, and unlike the previous books, has never been changed.""

Great work 👌🏻

Dear sir may Allah swt open your heart for his Deen aameen summa aameen
What? Did you say that you are Christian? Your duty is to do everything you can to save your precious daughter from hellfire.
Jesus said, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.'
Muhammad was a liar, a false prophet, and exploited women.
No young girl should respect such a wolf.
Ameen
Bro. Ur handle name is inappropriate. Not everyone is gifyed to be born a muslim. They did jot choose to be born in an idol worshipping family. And yes the truth has to be sought and can be obvious. I hope everyone agrees that the search and change is not easy to do. Everyone has their ossues and problems in life to just stay afloat. Your handle name may insult them and chase them away when u r in any conslversation using this acct. If you think its so easy to change, why are we in such a low state of Iman? Worse some leaving Islam altogether? Lets be kind and open to them and be welcoming....and this does not mean being weak.
@@ZakirHussain-oz9su
It does no one any good to be born a muslim. For as Jesus said, unless one is BORN AGAIN (spiritually regenerated), one cannot see the kingdom of God.
Flesh cannot produce Spirit, no matter how hard it tries.. Animals, plants, and bacteria also reproduce according to their kind. How are muslims unique in this regard?
What's this muslim obsession with 'strength'? What is wrong with being 'weak'? When people abandon their pretense to be 'big shots', to 'call the shots' as it were, God is able to use them as instruments in displaying His strength.
As Jesus said, 'the meek will inherit the earth'.
The apostle James quotes, 'God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.'
I'm giddy with excitement. Listening to these podcasts while doing work or relaxing in the evening has been such a blessing
Islam is a carnal religion thats why you enjoy this garbage talk
@@jared2244 Your disgustingly negative emotions and attitude are the only “carnal” thing here. And your misinformation is the only real “garbage”. Listen & learn with an open mind, remove the hate from your heart, and then perhaps you’ll be on your way out of a ‘carnal garbage’ mentality and into sincerity, truth, and enlightenment. And know that God is not the least unaware of anything that you do.
@@celestialknight2339 " ..negative emotions and attitude are the only carnal thing here" This shows that you dont understand the meaning off to be carnal.
"Learn & learn with an open mind" When Muslims speak of open mind they actually mean that mind should be open toward Islam. Once that open mind does not favor Islam there is a problem.
Those who demonstrate an open mind, and walk away from Islam are branded apostate and traitors.. They are humiliated, scorn, describe as fake, and all kinds of derogatory things are said about them.
The issue is never addressed but the personal attacks continues relentlessly.
Sometimes apostate have to flee for their lives, and face family abandonment.
"..remove the hate from your heart" Speaking against the evils perpetrated by Muslims because of Islam is considered hate.
It won't be a relaxing experience when you have to account for your rejection of Christ. Better reconsider while time remains.
@@marcusonesimus3400 we are sure in our Lord, the Lord of Abraham and all the prophets. Allah is the only true God, eloh in Hebrew and Allaaha in Aramaic ( the language Jesus spoke). Jesus is the Messiah and a man and messenger. Claiming he is more than that is blasphemy and paganism. Read below if you care about God's scriptures.
All prophets have preached the same thing. Worship the one God and do not attribute partners to him. Even Jesus and his deciples preached this. The only outlier was Paul who single Handley changes the religion of God to the degree that he did. Even going against James and the disciples ministry. Read the scriptures and you'll see the contridictory beliefs Paul added below.
(Matthew 4:1) Jesus was tempted
(James 1:13) God cannot be tempted
(John 1:29) Jesus was seen
(1 John 4:12) No man has ever seen God
(Acts 2:22) Jesus was and is a man, sent by God
(Numbers 23:19, Hosea 11:9) God is not a man
(Hebrews 5:8-9) Jesus had to grow and learn
(Isaiah 40:28) God doesn't ever need to learn
(1 Corinthians 15: 3-4) Jesus Died
(1 Timothy 1:17) God cannot die
(Hebrews 5:7) Jesus needed salvation
(Luke 1:37) God doesn't need salvation
(John 4:6) Jesus grew weary
(Isaiah 40:28) God cannot grow weary
(Mark 4:38) Jesus slept
(Psalm 121: 2-4) God doesn't sleep
(John 5:19) Jesus wasn't all powerful
(Isaiah 45: 5-7) God is all powerful
(Mark 13:32) Jesus wasn't all knowing
(Isaiah 46:9) God is all knowing
Please re-read your scriptures properly Christians. And analyse the contradictions within. Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) was a mighty messenger sent by God. Not God incarnate.

Thanks to Mr. Williams for this beautiful program . It was very much needed . Good answers made by Dr. Khattab on horizontal inquiries made by Mr. Williams about the most common words in The Qur’an like “He “ , “ we “ , “ They “, “ I “ namely .
It is also remarkable that Mr Khattab went through the prophet ‘s( Saw ) Hadith further to find help if there is any to interpret certain verses of The Qur’an in his book. That’s a smart move .
I will definitely buy his various books on The Qur’an.
Thanks again. God bless .

that book is exactly what I need!!! A few years ago I was motivated to learn the Arabic for Quran and that was my exact method...I thought I should just learn the words in the Quran instead of the whole arabic language.
So I found a list of commonly repeated words in the Qu'ran and printed them off. But doing it all myself was a bit too overwhelming for me and although i stuck with it for a week, i ended up giving up.

Brother Paul your a blessing to the ummah keep the good work up! Appreciate you! Love from Toronto Canada!
Toronto is in desperate trouble because (a) the rich have become so greedy, and (b) so many of its people have rejected the way of Christ to serve 'other gods'.
Notable among those 'other gods' is the abstract theory which muhammad concocted to replace the God of Israel-----------as though that were actually possible.
Yes, Ishmael the bastard son persecuted Isaac the legitimate son, and not much has changed since.

Well this was a surprise. Excellent talk as always. These guests have been a delight. Good work Paul.
I appreciate you and your work Paul. We all have doubts, inshallah we’re all guided onto the right path.
You should have more doubts. Expand those doubts until you discover Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. After that you will have no good reason to doubt, because He is not just a messenger. He is the MESSAGE itself.
Paul betrayed Christ and is now trying desperately to justify himself.. But I don't believe that he really became a Christian. His own account leads me to believe that he was searching for 'religious experiences'. Who knows how this adventure will turn out?
Thank you Brother Paul for another informative interview. I have the Clear Qu'ran and was excited to meet the author and learn the reason behind all his efforts.

The next major quran translation should go into depth on the Arabic precision and eloquence you can't get from a mere translation of a ayat's semantic dimension into the very ambiguous English language. We need to highlight the linguistic miracle of the Qur'anic Arabic semantically, rhetorically, grammatically, and morphemically. It is not impossible to explain this in English if you're willing to take the time and possibly have a translation which is several times bigger than the pages with the translation itself. A unsuspecting reader doesn't need to know arabic to be shown, for instance, the usage of the root word صرف in meaning "way of escape [from falling into hell]" in surah al-kahf [18:53] and also used by Allah in a different shade of meaning in some of the following ayah #54 in the form صرّفنا meaning "We have explained". Interestingly, this root word is not used in ayah 58 and in its stead Allah uses "مَوئِلًا" to also mean "way of escape". We need translations out there to point out these fundamental linguistic nuances and precisions since THIS stuff is the real miracle of The Qur'an. This stuff is what made the Quran penetrate the hearts of the Arabs.
..
The ayah where مصرفا is used to mean "way of escape":
Al-Kahf 18:53
وَرَءَا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ٱلنَّارَ فَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَنَّهُم مُّوَاقِعُوهَا وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا۟ عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا
English - Sahih International
And the criminals will see the Fire and will be certain that they are to fall therein. And they will not find from it a way elsewhere.
...
Where صرّفنا is used to mean "We diversified/explained"
Al-Kahf 18:54
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِى هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ لِلنَّاسِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍۚ وَكَانَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَكْثَرَ شَىْءٍ جَدَلًا
English - Sahih International
And We have certainly diversified in this Quran for the people from every [kind of] example; but man has ever been, most of anything, [prone to] dispute.
Where "موئلا" is used for meaning "way of escape" like in the first quoted ayah but uses a different word:
Al-Kahf 18:58
وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ذُو ٱلرَّحْمَةِۖ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُهُم بِمَا كَسَبُوا۟ لَعَجَّلَ لَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَۚ بَل لَّهُم مَّوْعِدٌ لَّن يَجِدُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦ مَوْئِلًا
English - Sahih International
And your Lord is the Forgiving, the possessor of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment. Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find an escape.
...
We must show the world these subtle semantic connections, shifts, and differences! This is of utmost importance
@Can a swallow swallow? Even that one doesn't go into the linguistics, although it contains a wealth of good information alhamdulillah
I feel like Nouman Ali Khan would do amazing job at that if he worked on a translation.
*For Example:*
When Allah kicks Satan out of paradise, Satan says to Allah: "…فبما أغوويتني” which is translated as “Because You left me to go astray…” and then Satan makes a promise to mislead the people.
But the word "غوا" from “أغوويتني” means that the person was tempted/seduced/enticed into doing something wrong. So it adds another dimension: Satan is saying that Allah set him up to fail. He’s basically accusing Allah of entrapment.
He’s implicitly saying: “You knew this was gonna happen all along - yet You allowed everything to be setup in a way that would make me commit the sin.”
Does that ring a bell? It’s because it sounds like Atheist logic. And it’s amazing how Allah captures the entire attitude in just three Arabic words.
If u really want to learn first fear Allah then the blessings starts .

FROM THE QUR'AN ACCORDING TO IMAM HAFS
sihraani
... two works of magic ... 28:48
FROM THE QUR'AN ACCORDING TO IMAM WARSH
saahiraani
... two magicians ... 28:48
Obviously "two works of magic" FROM THE QUR'AN ACCORDING TO IMAM HAFS cannot be exactly equal to "two magicians" FROM THE QUR'AN ACCORDING TO IMAM WARSH. Both cannot be true!
When that is the ground reality, many Muslim brethren still hold on to the belief that ""Allah sent the Final Testament, the Qur'an, and unlike the previous books, has never been changed.""
@@yahya2925 Your information is very interesting but I don't quite understand what you mean by " the linguistic miracle of the Quranic Arabic..." I've never read any Quran although I'm learning slowly about Islam. I'm a Christian believer. Thanks and peace of God to you... from Florida
Aslm another short but beautiful discussion.. May Allah bless brother Mustafa, u Paul and all the people who watch your channel abundantly... Well done
Alhamdulillah, another morning tazkirah for us here in South East Asia (just finished our Fajr/Subuh solat here)
May Allah swt reward him in this dunya and hereafter. The brother very humble and intelligent may Allah swt increase my knowledge like him amiin.
already repeated this discussion 2 times..hope many more to come in the future
im 2 minutes in and can tell already how bright this man is mashallah
'Smarts' do not gain one admittance into heaven. Humility is more important. The Bible says, 'Do not be wise in your own estimation.' It also says that 'the foolishness of God is wiser than men.'
Beautiful interview, many thanks. May allah reward you.
Excellent video dear Paul and dear Khattab. I really admire Bro Khattab’s “The Clear Quran “ and it’s wonderful work. Though I refer to many Quran English translations, my preference goes to Sahih International, Abdul Haleem, Mufti Taqi Usmani, AYusuf Ali, Hilali & Khan Moshin Khan, Talal itani etc., etc., In this video, I am lucky to have some insights into the Quran from the Bro Khattab, and I am grateful for that. I hope multitudes of Muslims are benefitted from this discussion, Alhamdulillah. Thanks dear Paul, for your amazing work and I have no doubt that Allah Swt have endowed you with great blessing of artistry of knowledge.
I echo here what the angels said to Allah Swt: Subhaanaka!,innaka antal'aleemul hakeem. Allah Swt bless you both with long heathy life and support with all means to continue in your noble endeavour Ameen.
Lovely to see brother Paul asking many of the commonly asked questions about the Qur'an from legendary Dr. Mustafa. Many thanks 🤗
OMG, Dr Mustafa Khattab himself, author of Clear Qoran
Mind Boggling, Overwhelming, Amazing, etc.....for those who have thought 😇
SubhanAllah 🤍 Thank you both - I’m a new Muslim revert and I have been reading the Clear Quran, this really helped me to understand. JazakAllah 🙏
May Allah bless you two❤️🤲🏻
Thank you Paul for the good work you do. and thank you to your guest Dr. Khattab for his fantastic may Allah reward you both.

Brilliant...thoroughly enjoyed it...JazakAllah khairan Paul! Many thanks 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
One of my favorite testaments to the miraculous nature of the Qur'an, are the numbers involved in Surah 57, Al-Hadid, or The Iron. The abjad value (a numerical correspondence to the alphabet of ancient development that is consistent across several Semitic languages) of Al-Hadid or ALHDYD is 1+30+8+4+10+4... which equals, 57. The abjad value of HDYD without the definite article is 8+4+10+4... which equals 26. What is the atomic number of Iron? Allahu akbar it's 26. Google "atomic mass of 57," and what pops up, is an isotope of iron. Look up "isotopes of iron" on Wikipedia, and look for the stable isotopes, and you will find there are 3, and 57 is *smack in the middle,* the only isotope with a 1/2- spin and parity, while Iron-56 and Iron-58 have 0+ spin. Any layman will be able inshallah to behold that Iron was given a special place in Allah's creation. There is also Surah An-Nahl, the structure of which has a motif of the numbers 16 and 32 unlike any other Surah, 16 being the number of Chromosomes in a male bee, a female having 32. I kindly invite anyone to look it up because this one is harder to pick apart in brief. There are many numerical wonders said to exist in the Qur'an, but these are just two that I recall and impress me as undeniable signs from the Creator (while some other examples cited by others may indeed be overreaching) that He has honored the believers with the truth.
Mustafa translation is owesome ijtihad. The only thing I miss in his translation is the words must be lined up word by word compared to quran anywhere possible in each surah.
If Mustafa did that the linguistic spirit of quran would be felt in the translation too I think.
What a beautiful informative program this was .
an amazing person.. mashallah..
Maa shaa Allah. I really enjoyed and learned from this discourse. JazakumALlah khairan to both the host and guest.
Amazing interview. Thankyou Paul
Thanks brother Paul for having Dr Mostafa , in fact it's very good conversation.
Thank you. I will Inshallah buy his books.
Jazakum Allah kheiran both
The miraculous power of the Quran comes into effect only when the ayats and Surahs are recited in Arabic, the original language. That is the reason for the prohibition on translation. And yes, the Quran has miraculous power. Sufis especially have that knowledge
Assalamualaikum, many2 thx to both of u. Life is a learning journey to improve ourselves towards Allah subhananahuwataala. May Allah subhananahuwataala blessed & protects both of u... Amin
Another Very informative interview, mashallah!
Fascinating show. I first saw him speak in Let the Quran speak/Canadian show. EFDawah was distributing Clear Quran for free in their Dawah show attendees if they were interested. Very dedicated gentleman and scholar. Cultured man. Not the polemics style. Plain clean clear presentation. His famous lines "so on and so forth". Drawing from previous revelation is not disputed. Is Sidney H Griffith's The Bible in Arabic (Princeton 2013) mentioned in his references? Aramaic (Jesus') and Arabic (Muhammad's) were probably sister languages. Left to the man/the reader to sort out the texts? Like The Jerome Biblical Commentary for the 21st Century (t&tclark 2022), perhaps The Mustafa Quranic Commentary for the 21st Century to follow on from his works and the famous The Study Quran (HarperOne 2017).
Assalamu alaikum brother Paul. Thank you for this most wonderful discussion on the miracle which is the Quran. Your question to Dr. Khattab on surah 4, verse 34 was addressed credibly and comprehensively but if I may add my ten cents worth: the word “daraba” has several meanings as used in the Quran. Moses is commanded to “daraba” the sea (part the sea) and is usually translated as ‘strike the sea” to allow the Israelites to escape from bondage in Egypt. But it means to “Separate”the sea or “part” the sea. Verse 34 lays down 3 steps: admonish them, refuse to share their beds, and lastly “wadribuhun”. If “daraba” here is translated as “separate” or “part” from them, and we look at the meaning of the next verse 35: If you fear a breach between them twain, appoint (two) arbiters, one from his family and the other from hers; if they wish for peace, Allah will cause their reconciliation…..” then, as Dr Khattab said, verse 34 is not taken out of context and is certainly not a stand-alone verse. It’s followed by a divorce scenario and how to address it.
Also, it’s well to remember that the prophet, peace be upon him, said that the best among you is one who is good to his wife.
Wa alaykumu s-salam
Paul may AlLah accept your efforts and grant you and me istiqamat ad Din.
@Faith Eternal ameen
JazakAllah!
Ma Shaa Allah Dr. Mustafa has done a great job in his attempt to bring the words of the Quran more closer to it's Arabic meaning. I'm also glad that he's using the word God for Allah in his translation. However, it should not be the word God for the English audience Quran and Allah for the Muslim one as he said. Since some Muslims and non-Muslims still don't understand that Allah means God, it's better to show it as God(Allah) in both "Clear Qurans". We should also thank and appreciate the efforts of our earlier translators despite their avoidance of the English word God as Allah in their translations.
THE PRESENCE OF ALLAH IS EVERYTHING HE IS LOVING KIND GOOD N TALK TO US EVERY DAY EVEN IN SLITLNESS IN A DISTANCE HIS VOICE IS ALWAYS THERE GUIDING PROCTECTING US LIKE HIS CREATION HE IS A LOVING AND GOOD CREATOE PRAISE ALLAH 🙏❤️
Arabic is such a beauty!
Quoran introduced a new form of literature alongside poems "Chieer" and normal writing "Natr" that's why the challenge of coming with something similar to the Quran is very hard!
it is not just about eloquence it is about bringing a new form of communication other than these 3
We used to recite a surah similar to one of the Musabbihaat, and I no longer remember it, but this much I have indeed preserved: 'O you who truly believe, why do you preach that which you do not practise?' (and) 'that is inscribed on your necks as a witness and you will be examined about it on the Day of Resurrection'. (as-Suyuti, Al-Itqan fii Ulum al-Qur'an, p.526).
Jazakumallahu khayr wa barakallahu feekum
(Surah Az-Zukhruf, ayah 3)
"Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Quran that you might understand."
Dr Mustafa said the Arabic has no contradiction, no mistakes, the translators makes mistakes but not the Arabic.
...oh yesssss..the original H'Airybic
@@anarchorepublican5954 Meanwhile, theres not even a single original Hebrew manuscript of Torah and original Aramaic manuscript of Gospel that can be carbon dated back to the time of Moses and Jesus.
Alhamdulillah Quran is still preserved in Arabic and the original manuscript can be carbon dated back to the time of Prophet Muhammad.
@@Emsyaz ...📜Indeed?..congratulations...A historical treasure to be sure ... no wonder you boast..it is justified...I would love to lay me eyes upon it...what Feast?..and do you know of the azure "blue Quran?" written in gold...
But.... I still fail to understand how such excellent and pure, original H'airybic Quran Manuscript evidence, can in any way provide spiritual sustenance to any poor soul who cannot speak he original H'Ariybic...dialect of the Prophet(pbuh)...
as the Quran can only be truly understood in the Original H'Airybic...quite unlike any other language on the planet...rather odd..considering...
...as Dr. Khattab here so painfully explains in detail.... apparently 💯accurate translation is not possible, with the Quran...so in he's work he employs a more sociological approach..in his translation work ...apparently this sheikh senses "the Clear sense and spirit of the age" and clearly translates accordingly...the "Clear Quran"-is Clear like see thru Islamic 7up soda is "Clear'..lite-ly sweetened for western tastes and sensitive secular ears...his rendering of Sura al-Nisa 34(Q 4:34) is a fine example....."discipline her (lightly)" ...of such transparent and "Clear" Translation...
Do you speak The "original H'Airybic?"...is it not the language of Adam?
@Faith Eternal ...o' indeed ...For behold my "disease within" stems from questions regarding Islam ..and these disease ridden doubts stem from my kafiryun ignorance of the Original H"Airybic...
do you have knowledge of Arabic?...
For instance what does يَدَيۡهِ {"yadayh"] mean?...
The Islamic talk show I have been looking for🙏🏾
The mufassirs of the Quran from Indian subcontinent knew arabic very well. Saying they only knew urdu or hindu is misleading.
Great talk! Thank you very much. I learned so much with this video
Excellent! Very Informative session.
Thank you.
This is one of the best discussion on blogging theology to this date. Mustafa Khattab seems so educated and his word of choice are so precise that I feel myself lucky to be able to watch this video. 💓
Great discussion.
Thank you paul. 👍

Even if those other stories are found elsewhere, the Qur’an is there as a confirmation of what has happened in history and a reminder.
That means the stories of Jesus in those thrown out Gospels are remnants of a historical event.
As those stories of Jesus came from late gospels they are more probably legendary, as confirmed in a recent interview with Bart Ehrman.
Salam Paul, thanks for this nice guest and talk. I've started reading a book on the Quran biography. Contains informations but I don't like it much, for instance it spells Quran with a K which generally is a good indicator that things won't be very satisfying.
Assalam O Alaikum Brother Paul!! Can you please do a video on The Miracle Of Human Language? I feel like this is a major sign from Allah SWT that people don't talk about that much even though it is mentioned in the Quran. It would be refreshing to see you bring on a muslim linguist to talk about this!
Salam!

Great material as always. I suggest you look into the Ring Composition (or Symmetrical structure) of the Qur'an. It's truly fascinating.
Even wicked men may produce remarkable Art. Symmetry is not proof of legitimate spiritual authority. We know that muhammad was either woefully ignorant of sacred history or distorted it to blasphemous ends.
In fact one story gos that muhammad was unsure of the origin of his visions, whether they were from the heavenly realm or the demonic realm, but Khadija persuaded him of their legitimacy.
he should have retained his doubts.
@@marcusonesimus3400 so how did he make a symmetrical book while never claiming it? Nor did any scholars claim that because they didn’t notice it until we had computers.

Mysterious mathematical patterns have been detected in the Bible. So if you have different texts to which scholars ascribe a similar attributes, yet which contradict each other in essentials, is that attribute ther deciding factor in choosing between them? Obviously not. The content and meaning are deciding factors.
If you have read the Old Testament account of Israel's exodus from Egypt, you will know that the pagan Egyptian magicians were able to match some of Moses' miracles, but not all.
The devil has real spiitual power, albeit 'stolen' power, for only God has true creative power.
It is not for nothing that witchcraft, spiritism, and mediumship were forbidden to the Israelites,
although the disobedient among them did indulge in these evils, like their neighbors.
So it is possible to imagine a counterfeit text from the demonic realm which MIMICS certain features of the Word of God, yet is clearly not rom God because it changes Biblical doctrine or alters Biblical facts.
This is how reports of 'supernatural' inspiration in anti-Biblical texts ought to be regarded.
Then there is the question of what human Art can achieve. It is sometimes remarkable to see
how by training, experience, and intuition a master of musical composition can create a work perfectly proportioned to the analyst or theoretician; yet the composer himself was not fully aware why he wrote what he did. This creative process remains within the bounds of Nature.
Well, not necessarily. Some Christian composers did pray for guidance, or had some awareness that God was helping them generate ideas.
Good morning from my side, Sir. I just subscribe your channel. I'm here just to learn English, all of your videos really helpful for me to, I found a lots of new vocabularies and I be able to learn how to speak in English more better, I mean the intonation. Barakallah, 💖 from Indonesian.
Yup. Same
Learn Islam, Quran plus English ...
Mashallah two gems 💎💎👍
Time well spent 💫 Learning new things !
The translation can be improved as our understanding of Quran in Arabic is evolving and expanding based on modern discoveries. That's why quran is miraculous our understanding of it grow with knowledge and discoveries and as society becomes more sophisticated its understanding of Quran becomes more advanced. Dr. Shahrour established an advanced thinking methodology that revealed amazing dimensions that expanded our knowledge of Quran and explained part of quran that had been explained wrongfully for 100s of years and some are contradicting to quran.
Thank you for this great video! Paul could I request you to do a video on a book called “The 100 most influential persons in history” by Micheal H Hart. Many people are interested in this book.
We used to recite a surah which resembled in length and severity to (Surah) Bara'at. I have, however, forgotten it with the exception of this which I remember out of it: "If there were two valleys full of riches, for the son of Adam, he would long for a third valley, and nothing would fill the stomach of the son of Adam but dust". ( Sahih Muslim, Vol. 2, p.501).
Thanks!
Many thanks khan!
Brother Paul is asking some questions I believe to bring out these issues to light and somehow I believe he knows the answers (exact answers) but humble enough to leave the opinion of the guest to manifest. So levels of Qur'an translation or interpretation (even Arabs needed interpretation in some areas). First. Qur'an is used to interpret the Qur'an, Then the Sunnah . Those are the major sources of interpretation.
Thank you both.
Thanks for this fascinating show
It is reported from Ismail ibn Ibrahim from Ayyub from Naafi from Ibn Umar who said: "Let none of you say 'I have acquired the whole of the Qur'an'. How does he know what all of it is when much of the Qur'an has disappeared? Rather let him say 'I have acquired what has survived.'" (as-Suyuti, Al-Itqan fii Ulum al-Qur'an, p.524).
