Garry Wills: What the Qur'an Meant: And Why It Matters
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2017
- We are constantly fed false information about Islam-claims that it is a religion of violence and that its sacred book is meant to inspire terrorists. There is no way to assess these claims unless we have at least some knowledge of the Qur'an.
How do the contents of the Qur'an compare to other sacred books? How has the text inspired difficulties of interpretation by the West and beyond?
Garry Wills is a professor of history emeritus at Northwestern University. He is a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author.

As a student of theology I just started reading the Quran recently. I'd say it's one of the most amazing books I've ever come across in my life. I truely regret why not reading it before. The most fascinating thing about the book is that it's the same book at least for the last 1430 years. Not a single word has changed while that's not the case with the other religious books like Torah, New Testament, Vedas and Buddhist scriptures etc. It never lets your attention go away from the subject. Keeps repeating the topics again and again to stress and emphasize. No lenghty historical stories. Short and simple. I wish I knew Arabic so I could understand it better.
You can live with the Bedouins and within a year you will learn Arabic .
understand stand the sociaty how it goes what happens how it happens Andrew the human behavior means phycology.
what is our behavior is to it.
and what should we behave with the it. For this use Quran thoughts.
you will find we have to surrender.
and Islam means surrendering in Arabic. Thanks
May Allah bless your soul, sending my since love ❤️ from a Moroccan in Paris peace to you
Numerology is kind for awe inspiringly amazing. Truely a sight to behold, if a human has heard the Recital of Allah SWT.
Hello my friend, I saw your comment. I am from Iraq. If you like, I will teach you the Arabic language for free. my regards
I read the quran and I can say it's truly a blessed book. So I say NONE IS WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH. AND MUHAMMED IS HIS LAST AND FINAL MESSINGER.
W.come brother and may Allah swt keep you and us on the right path, ameen
mashallah!!! so admitting this make you muslim harry parry, may allah show you the true objective of our presence . allah bless us all

Really u finish, what Alquran say,.good and thanks read,. my suggestions,u cant convert Islam find muslim person or have muslim centre there, go there,. just syahadah,,and don't rush to follow,just do step by step, and slowly,take time but u must say syahadah first, I'm sure u feel clean,u sins before this is truely forgive,.and start new life,. If u don't want its okey, i understand,. Sorry for disturb u,. May Allah give hidayah to u.
With high level in Arabic + Doctorate in Political Sciences (Sorbonne) + Master in Finance (Paris II Univ)
I was atheist because I never read & understood Kuran.
In my 40 years I was choked when I discovered This revelation: Any human could never provides these texts, sounds, very deep significations & many important truths ….
I cried & regret the lost years…
Thanks Allah about saving me!
i am 31 agnostic (raised catholic) and i started learning arabic so i can read Qur'an in original text for this reason. i believe the sounds and linguistics are significant as the Qur'an was originally spoken aloud as poetry. i also want to discover mathematical mysteries within the linguistic rhetoric similar to ancient jewish texts.
Maa'shaallah! Allah decrees with precision - alhamdulilah that Allah has guided you to the deen. May be make us of those who are successful ameen

Wow
Nice to see Christians trying to learn about and understand the Qur'an and Islam. Alhamdulillah!
THESE ARE THE KIND OF PEOPLE WE NEED IF WE ARE TO BUILD BRIDGES INSTEAD OF HATE.
I know what you did there, Jordan Peterson reference. ;)
The Muslims I know are friendly people
$$ The (Holy Quran) answer these 3 most important questions:
Q1:: What is the purpose of life?
Q2: Why we are created?
Q3: Where are we going after death?
Search for the truth
Can you please provide place in the Quran for those questions.
Thank you
@@olgaismag4422 peace be upon you brother. Here to answer your questions :
1- Allah says, “I have not created men except that they should serve Me” (Quran, 51:56).
“And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is over all things competent. Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding. Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], “Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire..”(Quran 3: 189-191)
2- "Oh humankind! We created you from a single pair of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honored among you in the sight of Allah is the who is the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)" (49:13).
3- For such is the state of the disbelievers], until, when death comes to one of them, he says, “My Lord, send me back that I might do righteousness in that which I left behind (i.e. in that which I neglected).” No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected. So when the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another. And those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] - it is they who are the successful. But those whose scales are light - those are the ones who have lost their souls, [being] in Hell, abiding eternally. The Fire will sear their faces, and they therein will have taut smiles (i.e. their lips having been contracted by scorching until the teeth are exposed). (Quran, 23:99-104)
Keep on reading the Quran and in shaa Allah we will find all the answers. 😘
Every book of fables pretends to do this... I am about half way through the Bible; the Quran and the Vegas are next on my list. I hope they portray gods that are more moral than the horrifying immoral thug of the Bible.
So what.
Hadith is collection of different narrations toooo
@@subhampalit6238 because hadiths are sayings of prophet, and each hadith has a chain of narrators that's what bible does not have to prove it's TRUE or no
Amazing Quran ! Absolutely mind blowing !
Read
Amazing bible from a muslim respect to you
For Those Who questioning the holy Qur’an, just read it carefully with understanding and without prejudice, cause the Qur’an are only meant for those who are truthful and seeking the truth😊
Very true
@@bmai2087 Absolutely
And for people to think!
But people who come to this Book with hate and to find flaws they will find it easily. It does not because this Book has flaws rather they are not studying it with the real historical context and the wisdon behind it. Shallow minded will think the shallow judgement for almost everything. Sadly, these people are widespread across youtube.
@@mm-qu3ht rather outsiders see and acknowledge the flaws, while insiders make desperate mental gymnastics to avoid acknowledging the flaws. The quran is so obviously made up by a guy who didn't know more than what you could be expected to know at the time and who had obvious character flaws.
Thank you
people must read Quran and learning more inshallah
I was given the Torah as a gift I accepted with pleasure hoping to get a Clearer understanding
Matter of fact he knows about more than an average Muslim. That is one.
Second. I understood a lot between when i first read the Quran with English translation (arabic isnt my language) and the last time i did. The more you read the more you understand the wiser you become in everyday affair.
A person claiming to have read the Quran and then goes on to litter a street or treat someone inappropriately or be harsh to animals etc has probably partaken of just a ritual not guidance.
Quran is education about life and how to live it.
Great effort by the learned Gentleman.
i'm sorry but what he said not outside our zone.. What he said we know about our religion and in fact with all respect to Mr. Garry he need study more about he said because there is missing things
@@mylovelyapplication3266 such a...
He knows more than the average muslim....rubbish....
Garry Wills is an honest sincere man, May Allah bless his heart.
Garry Wills read and researched and understand better than many people in the Islamic world, he did a big work for humanity and all the world. Thank you so much dear Garry for your interesting and generous joining to explain What Quran meant :Why it matters 🙏💐💌👑
May your efforts to portray a true Islam be a means for Allah to guide you, Mr. Willis. Allahuma ameen 🤲🏼
I’m not gonna watch the whole thing but it looks like mr wills has come to this with intellectual honesty and an attempt at fairness
👍🌸
The truth prevails, a very just and balanced view of the Quran.. with sincerity..
Great Job Mr. Garry Wills!! Keep educating people!!
Great respect for his wisdom and his efforts in reading and analysis the holy Quran ❤️
The reasons for the Prophet's (PBUH) marriages are multifold, they were not to produce a male heir as is stated in the video. An informing video nonetheless.
Good intentions but needs deeper knowledge of the quran
it seems he read the translated version of Quran and thus, he has some misunderstanding like this 13:26
It is good enough to build a bridge. That is the intention
It's a start, atleast...
@@ghostghost514 believe me he did very well knowing the fact he don't speak arabic.
He is very close from the truth.
He deviated some points and escaped others for purpose
He have some misunderstanding (like when he said that the prophet maried many womens to get a heir)!!
Allah mentioned in the coran that he will not have a son and promised him the kaoutar in paradise.
But in general he did a great job
His a scholar....and yes his still got a way to go...
thanks and regards to Mr.Garry Wills for he's great job
make note: Prof. Garry Wills read the qur'an and some of it's interpretations, but he didn't fully study it. So, give the man a chance, and don't rely on everything he said.
This is what is called MIND CONTROL without a Muslim their own opinion.. Many of the things he said I would disagree?
You dont understand where you at.... You are not at your home. You dont get it. Ita not mind control its his understanding.. Its obvious to see that in the video
I appreciate the efforts of Gary Wills of understanding Quran.........His understanding on many issues of Islam is mistaken.......even than I appreciate that a western scholar made efforts of understanding Quran........His understanding may be wrong but his efforts are appreciable..........
@@christabull4704 everything Mr. Wills said are correct, May God increase our knowledge.
i think sir Garry wills is absolutely right.. But we Muslims are damaging our own religion by our greedyness . Trusting other books than Quran, and giving fatwa for our own plasure..
beautiful mind, beautiful soul Garry wills
Quran do not propagate polygamy! Sura Nisa (4/3) And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] *one* or those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice].
Hum, this verse, and this is a thing that i respect from the muslim faith, is a nod To the condition of mankind.
How can i say this... it is a showing of tolerance from God toward men, as our lord knows well that women ARE attractive, and that we are powerless To them. A kind of "special derogatory", if you will.
Us christian kinda look at this with, dare i say it...envy 😉
@Kakashi Hatake ABOUT DIVORCE THERE IS VERY CLEAR ISLAM VERY WELL EXPLAIN I CANT ALL EXPLAINS YOU HERE BUT IF YOU RESEARCH WHATS ISLAM SAYS YOU WILL GET RIGHTS WAY....
one of largest jihad than that for battle is purification of one soul...Say to ourself for purification..fear God...remove wrong choice with good choice of doing thing..surah AsSyams
Surah ants 🐜 Allah said the ants communicate amongst them and nowadays scientists discovered that ants communicate notice that it was said 1400years ago
Let me tell you guys.is a common seance to understand that what a father and mother cannot finish if child take time he or she can finish it.so Quran and Muhammad is like a child to Judaism and Christianity. Why I say that all does books was struggling to complete and Quran came to fulfil.Nicolas tesla was inventor of electricity but he did not finish but we fulfill it.so that is how nature works.so if one way or another someone claim his prophet that speak to allah or god that we dont see that not make sense.
Yeah, and Allah said stars are sometimes made into meteors, and those meteors are in fact missiles targeting devils. And science nowadays says that this is completely true! Or wait...
i wish you had a better sound system.
What’s most amazing about the Qur’an. is that it adresses everyone that reads it , you will think that it’s talking especially to you , and no one else
Thank you sir Garry Wills for your valuable discussion about the all Religions! A salute with respect!
its shocking that so many people who are considered religious scholars in the west, have not read the Quran but they are somehow considered some kind of authority on religion.
now imagine them teaching students....what an injustice to the students,
In Shaa Allah you become a Muslim
Thank you so much
Me to as a non arab quraan is a miracle
we need a french translation , for more wide sharing , thank you .
The Quran says:
"O you, who have believed, remember God with much remembrance. And exalt him morning and afternoon. It is him who confers blessing upon you, and so do His angels that he may bring you out from the darkness into the light. And ever is he, to the believers, Merciful. Their greeting on the Day they meet him will be, "Peace." And he has prepared for them a noble reward.
O Prophet, indeed We have sent you as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner and to invite to God, by his permission, and as an enlightening luminary. Give good tidings to the believers that they will have from God great bounty. And do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites and leave their harm, and rely upon God. And sufficient is God as Disposer of affairs."
Surat Al-Ahzab (33) verses :41-48
I respect you Mr Grerric wills, what a beautiful soul, In Gods will you will be follow the right path of God. I really admire you
I would like to thank Mr Garry Wills for the good job he hase done. and i'm sure that one day whole humanity will be under the light of islam and that is going to be don by men like Garry Wills i mean by no muslims people.by the way i urge people to read the quran you will finde so many answers to your questions.god bless evry one.
Got it wrong men, you fall into a trap : no matter how, or wich book you follow,the important thing is To love and respect God.
By talking like this, it almost sound like a militant, bent on conquest. It is not the way To follow, and those who tell you this are leading you astray.
@@monsieurdubitatif8567 Read it and you will come to an understanding thats what he meant .
nice informative talk.
Thank you mr garry wills for your effforts. Respect and love
(too bad for the sound problems and the cuts in the edditing...) the host is 'ot on same level... I hope Someday she' ll understand..
Peace
The Holy Quran simple means to guide to real lord and only those who wants to be guided.
false....it's only those whom Allah willed to
Very beautiful study..it's a gud effort to present the truth of Quran infront of the world..being a Muslim I really appreciate you..I wish you best..
Most of America & west is green but Americans are still crazy about botanical gardens, lush green & backyards full of flowers & trees, & beautiful golf courses. Allah knows all humans or his servants love gardens not just Arabs& that is the reason Allah mentions gardens. Thus the reason cannot be the Arabia has deserts so Allah rewards the believers with gardens.
Allah knows best
Great Job for both Mr Garry Wills and Carnigie Publishing..
The sad truth is Muslims don't read Quran and try to study it and understand it.
Freud Ba You are right, it's a shame RAMADAN the month of Quran is almost finish and I Only Read One Chapter.
So grateful to Dr. Wills for sharing his views and his scholarly work helping to dispel misconceptions about Islam.
Ben Khalid Mohammed is an amazing Muslim profile on Facebook and this brother helped me to embrace Islam ALHAMDULILA
We need more intellectual western people like him
Search for "Mufti Menk" and "Omar Suleiman". :)
Mr. Garry is an honest man may Allah bless him
When I read new and old testimen, I feel like reading a history novel written by mankind, compare to quran it was definitely word of Allah
Thank you for this ❤
Beautifully explained. Thank you for your work!
I definitely agree with his solutions for peace is for Muslims and non muslims to read the Quran. May Allah guide everyone.
Thank you for clarifying the most misunderstood book in the world the Qur'aan.
Brother its is not that it is misunderstood, it's actually very simple and easy to understand...it is that it is deliberately misinterpreted by deceitful souls and those with false/bad intentions.
Very nice information.Thankyou
I could listen to Gary for hours
Determining what the Quran means is N ongoing effort. With many different approaches. And the ethical predispositions a person brings to a sacred text affect a persons interpretation.
Only ALLAH can guide, and HE do who's looking the Truth.
They plan and ALLAH plans, and ALLAH is the best Planner. (Qur'an )
ALLAH knows everything (Qur'an)
Abuobida
God is one,yes .
You are so good big brother
God bless you
thank u so much, this is important.
When the Qur'an talks about the issue of having up to four wives it's not only about having or not having enough to support them financially but it specifically says, and this is a short translation of the verse in Arabic: "ye may also marry two, three, or four but if you fear that you cannot do JUSTICE (between them) then marry only one". Sur Al Nisa (Chapter of Women) The most accurate interpretation of that is: if you can't get all their consent and be just or fair to each of them in love, support, time, and money then do not marry more than one.
This man will surely be rewarded for his work towards the quran and islam…informing the west of the meaning behind the quran and islam as whole
The best book Qur'an of the world
An amazing talk, being a Muslim it was extremely informative and a pleasure to hear it.thank you
He became Muslim as well
@@rahamathullahm3427 Alhamdulillah. When?🤲✨❤️🙋
Nice talking mr we’ll don
Allah grant him hedaya.he doing good work..
Ahmed Kazemi,
you mean you wish that he convert to Islam?
He misunderstood many things in Quran but he has good intentions.
Dr. Willis forgot to mention that beating the wife has conditions and form. Never beat on the face. Never beat to cause a scar. Hit as little as to get her attention only. Never humiliate the wife.
100++ Likes.. #Respect
Thanks Prof. Wills
I may add that although there were no known atheists in the 7th century, yet the Quraan does discuss all sort of different believes including atheism. One example is: (Or were they created from nothing or are they creators * Or created the heavens and the earth, but not sure) Surah 52 (35-36)
This was good and very positive. I do think he should have spoken to Quran scholars at least in the US. I could recommend few. It will be great if he does so to exchange knowledge and deeper understanding of the Quran. Thank you so much for organizing this talk.
Basil Al-Qudwa Imam W D Mohammed would salute his leadership as well
Basil he is nowhere close to Sheik Amhed Deedat at a religious scholar
May Allah guide him true paths he deserves insha alaah
Thank you for this
The Quran says:
"He who made the sun to be an illumination and the moon to be a soft light and determined for it phases for you to know the counting of years and calculation. God has not created this except in truth. He details the signs for a people who know. Indeed, in the
alternation of the night and the day and in what God has created in the heavens
and the earth are signs for a people who fear God"
surat 10, verse 5-6
Gary Wills is indeed an intellectually very knowledgeable person + honest in his research and in his reviewed. May Allah guide him on the right path and guide all the humanity on the right path as well..
Garry Wills is undoubtedly a person who is intellectually very well informed and honest in his research and review. He is a truthful person, he speaks what he knows because he actually read the Holy Quran.
God bless you sir
She's not ready yet to cover up, but she still holds the Will of Allah S.W.T close to her heart. We Muslims pray for our sisters in Islam to get Hidayah from Allah SWT...Aamin
ALHAMDULILLAH.May ALLAH guide brother garry will to islam.amin
Thank you for a true uplifting unbiased true video and representation of Islam and the Holy Koran. I was studying the Kabba-Allah (mystic ancient jewish tradition ) and the great Kabbalists who referred to the Koran as the holy Koran respected and realised the power of the Koran. This got me interested in Islam. Allah invites all muslims to study other religions. In aramaic the language of Jesus. The name for God is Allah.
It is the operating manual of all human beings & guidance to our life.
The verse of striking a woman was explained by the prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم
He did explain it like He did explain every single verse of the Quran, from cover to cover , I would love to hear him explain the verse because when the prophet companions ask him how we should strike a woman, He answered very Hard as a rule that they should do
1 first should never ever hit or strike her in the face
2 second shouldn't causes any pain and harm
3 third Shouldn't leave a mark on her body.
They were surprised... saying it's like we should not strike them (women)
The prophet comment was "exactly, you should not" that was his beautiful smart a genuine explanation
Allah love's those who are truthful
May Allah bless and give more guidancy to you prf Garry Wills
Educated and civilised conversation
He is one of the people of the book as mentioned in quran..
nice dear sir I am Muslim enjoyed your extensive talk . I am dr by profession
This Man is truthful, we human respect to him ,! May God (Allah) guide him strait paths.
Atheist are addressed in the Quran, not by name, but by actions and words.
What a valid question asked by the speaker!!
How many of u have read Quran??
I appreciate the efforts of Gary Wills of understanding Quran.........His understanding on many issues of Islam is mistaken.......even than I appreciate that a western scholar made efforts of understanding Quran........His understanding may be wrong but his efforts are appreciable..........
Thank you. It was actually quite refreshing to hear his unbiased understanding of the message within Quran. Could not have put it any simpler. I appreciate this was a mighty revelation for him, However, Mr Wills will do well to read the exegesis of the Quran by the great scholars - he will be in for the shock of his life at what he reads !
Mashallah haven't watched yet but I've heard good things
I plea to all my brothers and sisters please embrace Islam before it's too late, for once read Quran with open heart, believe you will be guided to true path and eternal success hereafter, this life is too short full of miseries and sorrows, you are our brothers and sisters we muslims worried about you, we don't need your land and wealth, we just want you to be saved, don't argue please just come to the straight path we welcome you all with open heart.
Good job
This is why I am in Love with west. You guys blessed with kind heart.
First of all thank you professor for your unbiased talk, second thing Muslim bros n sisters do keep in mind that he has written a book on the Quran matters so if he says everything in this talk who gonna go n buy the book to enhance their understanding. I hope more non-Muslims or Islam haters watch this video as this has come from a non-Muslim.
All respect professor
God bless you
20th saya kerja di indo, tamat sekolah langsung mulai kerja di kota kelahiran (palembang) sampai merantau ke jawa trus nyebrang ke kalimantan lalu nyebrang lg ke sulawesi sampai balik lg ke kampung halaman. Saya kerja di banyak bidang yg berbeda, utk mencari passion kerja.
Pointnya semuanya sama aja, mulai dri persyaratan yg banyak sekali kwalifikasinya sampai budaya kerja yg tdk sesuai dg lingkup tanggung jwb, utk bertahan di satu tempat kerja itu rasanya sangat berat dn sangat tdk menyenangkan, ditambah atitude sesama karyawan ato atasan yg annoying bikin tdk nyaman dn buat gk betah.
Alhamdulillah skrng saya sedang kerja di Johor-Malaysia.
Saat ini saya sedang belajar keras dlm mengimprove English saya agar bs kerja ke Amerika/Eropa.. Insya Allah 🤲
Channel ini sangat memotivasi saya dn sangat menambah semangat.
Terimakasih atas pencerahannya 🙏
He is not a scholar and has not learned from a scholar, he should not speak like a scholar. If he speaks about Islam and the Quran he should say very clearly: "this is from my own understanding and from what I have gathered, so dont take this to be true because I may be wrong"
You know close minded people like has been problem for Islam.AS YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING .if 1.8B Muslims do the same thing as you are doing there will 1.8B as my own understandings .you don't even know 1/2 of what he knows. From my understanding
You are invited to give lectures in Miami. How can I do this?
Alhamdulillah! It's so facinating that non-Muslims like Professor Willis have exerted so much effort to understand the Holy Qur'an and share its real essence to others to clear things up. I love the reactions and the appreciation of the audience, except for one lady who claimed to be a practicing Muslim but is not wearing a hijab. That is so unfortunate because while professor Willis understood the Qur'an, the lady did not. Astagfirullah.
