@Djamel Joe I'd say the bible is a corrupt source of information, not to be beleived nor to be disbelieve what it says. The Islamic way of approoaching such subjects is to measure what the bible says against the Quran, if it agrees we agree, if it differs we go with what the Qur'an says. The keepers of the Bible, as the Quran says, "expose some of it and hide some" and they "twist their tongues with the book so that you reckon it is from the book when it is not of the book" and "they take words out of their due context".

What an enlightening discussion .. I wish that Paul can have some “shorts” focusing on some very interesting key facts mentioned here … as always we should recognise the amazing effort by Paul.. keep going !!
For an irritatingly impatient person like me to keep listening to both of you guys speaking for more than five minutes should tell you something about your insightful conversation...... Very very impressive conversation of two academics yet very accessible for a lay man like me...... Keep the good work Paul and may Allah accept your deeds and forgive your sins and light for you the path to him the almighty with his guidance.
This is the second Ataie talk I have seen on blogging theology - what an amazing man. He is an encyclopaedia within himself Thank you Paul for bribing him on I have read his book now “ in the defence of Islam. A super read
Hi Paul, I always wondered what you could do if only Arabic was your mother tongue, and I understand the frustration that results from understanding the meaning of a word without grasping its essence, it is an ongoing dilemma for me with my English language. So please accept my humble contribution in explaining the essence of the word (muhaymen). If you consider the meaning (dominant) this will be easier than the foot note you read, examples: Haymana on the trade of the country …… dominated the trade of the country (this is past tense) Politically muhaymina state …….politically dominant state ( this is current situation) Muhaymina share … dominant share ( this is current situation) The strong boy yuhaymino the weak one…. The strong boy dominates the weak one (this is present tense) In the Quranic context is means dominating, controlling and preventing it from going astay. I hope that was helpful.
@@matthewpaulson6497 Assalamualaikum. You actually missed the whole point. We certainly do believe in the scriptures sent down on Moses, David and Jesus (Peace be upon them all) but we do not believe in that which was written by Paul, Luke, John or Babylonic scriptures of Old testament. So there is a big difference. Allah claimed that they changed the words of God for their own. Now some morons like David Wood would bring verses which say Allah's word cannot be changed out of context in opposition to these claims. Now what you will find after entirety of the Holy Quran is that those scriptures were to Man as guardian but for His last revealation He Said "And I will be it's guardian ". And that is true and proven, see videos of this channel about it like on Birmingham's Quran parts found. Hoping you will read The Holy Quran entirely and also view the Bible and Quran in a scholarly view and decide you Path of Life (Bcoz Islam is more than a 'religion')
In arabic language prespective, if something muhaimen مهيمن over another thing, that mean if have a control over it or spread over. It can be said one team muhaimen over the other team, which mean they have absolute control/advantage over it
Thank you for introducing Dr. Ali, surprisingly I am one of the ones living I. Cave, I had no idea about him, since this interview, I can’t get enough of his videos. Very insightful. I wish some of the videos had better audio, but better then nothing. Thanks
here is the funeral service for Dr. Ataie ! Here is your Dr. Ataie, the humiliation ! Not James Mohammed White ! ruclips.net/video/MwcuwtzslpY/видео.html
James white is scared of muslim scholars with wisdom. I have seen him discussing with only the easy ones not the great thinkers. A mediocre mind can never appreciate a great mind
OMG Paul this was such a great discussion, learnt some new things from this . Thank you for inviting Dr Ali to the channel, definitely he's a knowledgeable man with great sense of understanding. Surprisingly I noticed Dr Shabir Ali also holds some kind of similar position regarding Qur'an 4:157. That's something interesting. Wish to see Dr Ali and other professors again on the channel. May God bless you 😇.
Hey Mr Paul. I think you should make video with Dr Sami Ameri. He's a very knowledgebal person and holds a PHD and can speak 5 languages (arabic, english, french, greek, hebrew). I'm sure you'll like him
Al tahir Ibn Ashoor senior theologian and expert in rhetorical aspects of the quran was a graduate of zytouna mosque (university). he is the author of famous Tafseer Al Tahreer Wal Tanweer. the resulting work of his 50 years in the field. Truly a treasure. I refer to it regularly. The Quran 3:75 mentions, from among practicing Christians and Jews those who are very honest to the extent that you can entrust to them big amount of money and others whom one cannot entrust money not even a penny. In the same context of dishonesty there are honest Jewish and Christian groups and dishonest groups. In page 293 of his Tafseer of The Quran 3:79, Al Tahir Ibn Ashoor says after mentioning Jewish twist of the Torah in 3:78 which is a type of tahrif, Allah went on to mention the tahrif that the Christians had. Twist is a verb that should be in the past but The Quran brought the present tense to mean that the manipulation is on-going. End of statement by the author.
The shaytan of Islam (Allah) tells his slaves that they can be liars, and he sent a pdo.phile as your best moral example. And you believe that a god would do such a thing... It's from shaytan my Muslim friends.
@@nemesis1291 You worship a human being as God like an idolater in rejection of First Commandment. You are the one following Shaytan but your pride refuses to let you see it.

First, Paul, thank you for the videos and a unique way of connecting 'pixels' for the larger picture. It is a pleasure also because your videos are a great guide to right literature. I'd like to make a short contribution to the topic, although I'm not a scholar or theologian, and with full appreciation of Dr. Ataie and to his extensive knowledge and experience and to the many fresh facts he presented that mean a lot to me. So, beside of aspects that Dr. Ataie analized, maybe there's intention of The Holy Qur'an of letting the Christians to have rulings or judging upon themselfes on the basis of their scriptures they have are connected to the principle of not forcing anyone to religion (Islam) and to also Islamic principle of allowing other traditions/religions in Muslim state to establish their own courts or judges for especially private, contractual, business and family matters making a system to resolve disputes among the members of their comunity (in this case Christians). This system of separate parallel legislations was, as far as I know, used by the end of Ottoman empire, and it is pretty unimaginable in a modern standardized western law systems formed in a one-size-fits-all manner. Logically, there is a question, why the Qur'an is specially mentioning gospels of the Christians if the own-ruling-right is a more universal right of nonmuslims? Maybe, the message is what Dr. Ataie said (especially about an invitation to critical examination) in combination with the message to Muslims not to forbid or not to discriminate people (Christians) who are committing obvious shirk out of all the best intentions, maybe it a mercy to Christians as I understand and to some Christian priests who are considered to be nearest to Muslims because they are humble. I hope things I said make sense, and that the real meanings aren't lost in translations and understanding because I'm not a native English speaker, nor I speak Arabic. Wish you all the best.
Greetings. Please improve your microphone's efficiencies overall. I have been listening your sessions for some times with great interest! Thank you so much! I need to raise the volume of my TV and PC very high to listen your voice.......... Please improve your microphone. God blesses.
OMG Paul @57:57 this is exactly I was saying to my brother .. I mean we know ALLAH spoke in quran through Gabriel and prophet Mohammed (PBUH) but who wrote the torah.. how many parts came from Moses (PBUH) how does it has Story of a Abraham ( PBUH) .. I am trying to reed torah little bit and these questions were arising. When did they start writing Torah who was it revealed on?
The meaning of “Mutawaffi” (‘take in full’) is discussed in the exegesis of verses 3: 54-55 (page 76; Mariful Quran vol. 2 by Mufti Taqi Usmani). If you search for the Ma'ariful Quran tafsir on google you should be able to find it on an archive link (all 8 volumes) I further recommend the tafsir of 4: 157-158 (page 622). Although the substitutional hypothesis is widely accepted by Muslim scholars from the earliest times, including explanations of the verse from the famous companion Ibn Abbas Ra, who seemed to have understood it as substitutional, which suggests to me this was the idea held by the companions closest to the Prophet PBUH. Regardless, I can understand the swooning hypothesis. But the “rapture hypothesis” that is proposed by Ustadh Ali and similarly written about by various recent Orientalist scholars is really stretching the verses' meanings to propose this hypothesis. E.g. One question comes to my mind, if indeed Jesus PBUH is on the cross and before his physical flesh dies, Allah intervenes and there is a rapture of his soul, how is that different from death? Because in death everyone’s soul departs the body and all of this is by the will of Allah (as in Allah’s intervention). And if indeed he died on the cross and yet Allah saying they did not kill him nor crucify him sounds like one of these Obi Wan Kenobi moment - “from a certain point of view” - type of verbal gymnastics. No one can do anything to anyone except by the will of Allah.
the view from islamic point of view at least when i first read it seemed to suggest another one was crucified to look like him, while jesus was ascended unharmed and untouched and another was made exactly like him, gospel of barnabas holds this view even most likely a forgery has a story wich no other has last chapters are amazing story really can hold up logically but ofc its a theory like 4 "canon" gospel they speculate too cause they didnt see jesus
also the famous mathew last line in the gospel "why have you forsaken me" can be that of who was crucified who wasnt jesus and asking to god could be judas etc, judas dies in canon gospels in a strange way he suicided some days after in a tree
@@jurgeni7545 I realized you can get tafsir of Ma'ariful quran (by Muft Taqi Usmani directly on quran.com), here are the links: - Surah Ali Imran verse 55: quran.com/3:55/tafsirs/en-tafsir-maarif-ul-quran - Surah Maidah verse 157: quran.com/4:157/tafsirs/en-tafsir-maarif-ul-quran There are many theories for the substitution hypothesis apart for Judas - fully explicated here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_views_on_Jesus%27_death#Substitution_interpretation I would caution against using the synoptic gospels or acts as sources, as we cannot verify the sources with any accuracy. They wouldn't pass any isnad (chain of narrators) or matn (text) verification test and would be straight up classified as fabricated (mawdu) according hadith sciences. These texts served to propagate a certain christological position. So, we only accept that which falls in line with the Quran as that is direct revelation and authentically preserved. Same goes for the hebrew bible (TaNaK).
Please have him on again in the near future. I could listen to both of you talk all day.
Ma sha Allah, He's literally one of those people who when they talk you can't help but listen to them and don't want them to stop talking.
Thank you by.Paul

*wow!love it paul!this guest is amazing.very open minded with no bias explanation.please invite him more often.*
May Allah provide us with more scholars on the level of these two gentlemen. Ameen. So enjoyable, so beneficial.
This is one of your best videos brother Paul!
Glad you think so!
This has to be watched a few times over!!! Truely instructive!! 😲🤩💯
Great discussion with such a learned scholar like Dr. Ali.
What an enlightening discussion .. I wish that Paul can have some “shorts” focusing on some very interesting key facts mentioned here … as always we should recognise the amazing effort by Paul.. keep going !!
A very beautiful program on essential topics
Which matters in the style of our lives . Well presented. Thank you .
I actually watched from start to and as I found the discourse really went on went nicely. Thanks Brother Paul.
🤩❤️❤️ Simply wow! May Allah Bless u’ll. As always Brother Paul’s efforts are humongous. Thanks
For an irritatingly impatient person like me to keep listening to both of you guys speaking for more than five minutes should tell you something about your insightful conversation...... Very very impressive conversation of two academics yet very accessible for a lay man like me...... Keep the good work Paul and may Allah accept your deeds and forgive your sins and light for you the path to him the almighty with his guidance.
👍❤️
This is the second Ataie talk I have seen on blogging theology - what an amazing man. He is an encyclopaedia within himself
Thank you Paul for bribing him on
I have read his book now “ in the defence of Islam. A super read
Hi Paul, I always wondered what you could do if only Arabic was your mother tongue, and I understand the frustration that results from understanding the meaning of a word without grasping its essence, it is an ongoing dilemma for me with my English language. So please accept my humble contribution in explaining the essence of the word (muhaymen). If you consider the meaning (dominant) this will be easier than the foot note you read, examples:
Haymana on the trade of the country …… dominated the trade of the country (this is past tense)
Politically muhaymina state …….politically dominant state ( this is current situation)
Muhaymina share … dominant share ( this is current situation)
The strong boy yuhaymino the weak one…. The strong boy dominates the weak one (this is present tense)
In the Quranic context is means dominating, controlling and preventing it from going astay.
I hope that was helpful.
thank you
Nice .
Jazakallah khair,
Thanks for sharing multitude of knowledge
Well done for getting one of the heroes of Dawah - much better than some of the kids at SC.
Both are dakwah in the different site. Sometimes Paul down to SC too.. Allah bless all of They both and us too.
@@matthewpaulson6497 Assalamualaikum. You actually missed the whole point. We certainly do believe in the scriptures sent down on Moses, David and Jesus (Peace be upon them all) but we do not believe in that which was written by Paul, Luke, John or Babylonic scriptures of Old testament. So there is a big difference. Allah claimed that they changed the words of God for their own. Now some morons like David Wood would bring verses which say Allah's word cannot be changed out of context in opposition to these claims. Now what you will find after entirety of the Holy Quran is that those scriptures were to Man as guardian but for His last revealation He Said "And I will be it's guardian ". And that is true and proven, see videos of this channel about it like on Birmingham's Quran parts found. Hoping you will read The Holy Quran entirely and also view the Bible and Quran in a scholarly view and decide you Path of Life (Bcoz Islam is more than a 'religion')
@@matthewpaulson6497 39:20 of the video you can clarify our understanding from there
Nothing is more amazing than a great teacher
Dr Ali is top of the line
May Allah bless him and his family
And love and respect for Mr Paul
Masha Allah Professor. Wonderful presentation.May Allah bless you both.
Great! You got a right person Dr Alie Ataie. He is one of the best Muslim thinkers we have on this era
Such an amazing conversation 👍
We need more of Dr Ali Ataie, Thank you brother for inviting him on your channel for such an insightful discussion.
He is back on 22nd of October!
May Allah reward you both and make your endeavorus for the deen fruitful
In arabic language prespective, if something muhaimen مهيمن over another thing, that mean if have a control over it or spread over. It can be said one team muhaimen over the other team, which mean they have absolute control/advantage over it
Thank you for introducing Dr. Ali, surprisingly I am one of the ones living I. Cave, I had no idea about him, since this interview, I can’t get enough of his videos. Very insightful.
I wish some of the videos had better audio, but better then nothing.
Thanks
Love love love the whole discussion....very profound @Paul Williams
👍❤️
Thank You very much Paul for this interview.
I wish Dr. James White would have dialogue with Dr. Ataie...that would be amazing.
here is the funeral service for Dr. Ataie ! Here is your Dr. Ataie, the humiliation ! Not James Mohammed White !

@@channel-sil shamoun is the biggest joke on the planet
James white is scared of muslim scholars with wisdom. I have seen him discussing with only the easy ones not the great thinkers. A mediocre mind can never appreciate a great mind
They’re all liars or stupid.he is liar
Thanks!
OMG Paul this was such a great discussion, learnt some new things from this . Thank you for inviting Dr Ali to the channel, definitely he's a knowledgeable man with great sense of understanding. Surprisingly I noticed Dr Shabir Ali also holds some kind of similar position regarding Qur'an 4:157. That's something interesting. Wish to see Dr Ali and other professors again on the channel. May God bless you 😇.
Dr Ali will be coming back soon..
A very clear explanation is not confusing. I watched it many times, thanks!
Thank u both Paul and Ali
Dr. Ali Ataie is a treasure andva gem! Jazaakumullaahu khairan brother Paul!
How come this Chanel who gives us invaluable knowledge hasn’t got millions of subscribers.
Because only Muslims agree with this channel.
Jazakumullahu khair, both to brother Paul and brother Ali, this video is so benefiting. Wassalamu'alaikum...
Truly informative!
A very interesting program! Enjoyed it very much. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Paul. For your a great video.
You are very welcome
Dr. Ali Ataie is an absolute treasure trove of comparative religion.
Hey Mr Paul. I think you should make video with Dr Sami Ameri. He's a very knowledgebal person and holds a PHD and can speak 5 languages (arabic, english, french, greek, hebrew). I'm sure you'll like him
I agree with this.Dr Sami is one of the most knowledgable Muslims out there.
@@yishif1244 of course
I've observed Paul that your getting about 120 new subscribers every day maashaAllah.
Thanks for that
Ali Ataie is the Ghazzali of our time. One of the most important comparative theologists.
I love you both
How did i never know about this guy ali ataie? I should watch him more

I hope that the discussion would not end. Enjoy so much from both of you.
Al tahir Ibn Ashoor senior theologian and expert in rhetorical aspects of the quran was a graduate of zytouna mosque (university). he is the author of famous Tafseer Al Tahreer Wal Tanweer. the resulting work of his 50 years in the field. Truly a treasure. I refer to it regularly.
The Quran 3:75 mentions, from among practicing Christians and Jews those who are very honest to the extent that you can entrust to them big amount of money and others whom one cannot entrust money not even a penny. In the same context of dishonesty there are honest Jewish and Christian groups and dishonest groups. In page 293 of his Tafseer of The Quran 3:79, Al Tahir Ibn Ashoor says after mentioning Jewish twist of the Torah in 3:78 which is a type of tahrif, Allah went on to mention the tahrif that the Christians had. Twist is a verb that should be in the past but The Quran brought the present tense to mean that the manipulation is on-going. End of statement by the author.
This is my second time watching this; feels like the first time! So interesting and informative.
It is the mark of learned person to speak about Contradictory ideologies accurately and unbiasedly while not accepting the said ideology.
Dr Ali is my favourite theologian now, please do make more videos with him.
He will be coming back soon to discuss Isaiah 42.
@@BloggingTheology Great to know, thanks Paul!
Brave Paul, exhausted and unwell, he courageously keeps fighting on! God bless him!

Brilliant video.knowledgeable guest.

Ohh wow this is a surprise mashallah
Looking forward to listen to hil again.amazing!
Informative encounter on crucifixion
across Christianity, Islam and Juidism.
Excellent... thanks to you both. Pual you are doing great job to all the Truth seekers
Being Muslim is a great blessing from Allah
The shaytan of Islam (Allah) tells his slaves that they can be liars, and he sent a pdo.phile as your best moral example. And you believe that a god would do such a thing... It's from shaytan my Muslim friends.
@@nemesis1291 You worship a human being as God like an idolater in rejection of First Commandment. You are the one following Shaytan but your pride refuses to let you see it.
@@nemesis1291 astaghfirullah Al3adim are you even aware who are insulting ? Are u serious ? Omg the Shaytan is the one who made write This nonesense . Pls repent . Allah is God Allah is Arrahman the Most merciful the most gentle and the most compassionate . We will die inshaAllah if he wills upon worshipping him and doing Good as mentioned in The Quran . As for Jesus Christ he was and he will never be Equal to God he is a servant, a messenger and a disciple of God . Stop worshipping the Creation and start worshipping the Creator .
ماشاء اللّٰه!
May Allah teward you brother Paul!
جزاك اللًٰه خيرا كثيرا....
Wow I grew up listening to this guy and his debates
Paul my broken record comment, this was stupendous!
One of my favourite persons, teachers, and scholars. Dr Ali Ataie.❤️
First, Paul, thank you for the videos and a unique way of connecting 'pixels' for the larger picture. It is a pleasure also because your videos are a great guide to right literature.
I'd like to make a short contribution to the topic, although I'm not a scholar or theologian, and with full appreciation of Dr. Ataie and to his extensive knowledge and experience and to the many fresh facts he presented that mean a lot to me.
So, beside of aspects that Dr. Ataie analized, maybe there's intention of The Holy Qur'an of letting the Christians to have rulings or judging upon themselfes on the basis of their scriptures they have are connected to the principle of not forcing anyone to religion (Islam) and to also Islamic principle of allowing other traditions/religions in Muslim state to establish their own courts or judges for especially private, contractual, business and family matters making a system to resolve disputes among the members of their comunity (in this case Christians). This system of separate parallel legislations was, as far as I know, used by the end of Ottoman empire, and it is pretty unimaginable in a modern standardized western law systems formed in a one-size-fits-all manner. Logically, there is a question, why the Qur'an is specially mentioning gospels of the Christians if the own-ruling-right is a more universal right of nonmuslims? Maybe, the message is what Dr. Ataie said (especially about an invitation to critical examination) in combination with the message to Muslims not to forbid or not to discriminate people (Christians) who are committing obvious shirk out of all the best intentions, maybe it a mercy to Christians as I understand and to some Christian priests who are considered to be nearest to Muslims because they are humble.
I hope things I said make sense, and that the real meanings aren't lost in translations and understanding because I'm not a native English speaker, nor I speak Arabic.
Wish you all the best.
Hey Paul, when reading verse 5:48, you gotta read next verse 49 to understand what Mohayminan contextually means :)
Really interesting conversation.
Yes... very interesting but just makes me ask myself more questions! But that's okay. God understands our questions and doubts, right?
Greetings. Please improve your microphone's efficiencies overall. I have been listening your sessions for some times with great interest! Thank you so much! I need to raise the volume of my TV and PC very high to listen your voice.......... Please improve your microphone. God blesses.

Very enlightening discussion, enjoyed it very much, do it again plz :)
OMG Paul @57:57 this is exactly I was saying to my brother .. I mean we know ALLAH spoke in quran through Gabriel and prophet Mohammed (PBUH) but who wrote the torah.. how many parts came from Moses (PBUH) how does it has Story of a Abraham ( PBUH) .. I am trying to reed torah little bit and these questions were arising. When did they start writing Torah who was it revealed on?
Thank you! Thank you. Thank you Dr. Ataie!
The meaning of “Mutawaffi” (‘take in full’) is discussed in the exegesis of verses 3: 54-55 (page 76; Mariful Quran vol. 2 by Mufti Taqi Usmani). If you search for the Ma'ariful Quran tafsir on google you should be able to find it on an archive link (all 8 volumes)
I further recommend the tafsir of 4: 157-158 (page 622).
Although the substitutional hypothesis is widely accepted by Muslim scholars from the earliest times, including explanations of the verse from the famous companion Ibn Abbas Ra, who seemed to have understood it as substitutional, which suggests to me this was the idea held by the companions closest to the Prophet PBUH.
Regardless, I can understand the swooning hypothesis. But the “rapture hypothesis” that is proposed by Ustadh Ali and similarly written about by various recent Orientalist scholars is really stretching the verses' meanings to propose this hypothesis. E.g. One question comes to my mind, if indeed Jesus PBUH is on the cross and before his physical flesh dies, Allah intervenes and there is a rapture of his soul, how is that different from death? Because in death everyone’s soul departs the body and all of this is by the will of Allah (as in Allah’s intervention). And if indeed he died on the cross and yet Allah saying they did not kill him nor crucify him sounds like one of these Obi Wan Kenobi moment - “from a certain point of view” - type of verbal gymnastics. No one can do anything to anyone except by the will of Allah.
the view from islamic point of view at least when i first read it seemed to suggest another one was crucified to look like him, while jesus was ascended unharmed and untouched and another was made exactly like him, gospel of barnabas holds this view even most likely a forgery has a story wich no other has last chapters are amazing story really can hold up logically but ofc its a theory like 4 "canon" gospel they speculate too cause they didnt see jesus
also the famous mathew last line in the gospel "why have you forsaken me" can be that of who was crucified who wasnt jesus and asking to god could be judas etc, judas dies in canon gospels in a strange way he suicided some days after in a tree

I realized you can get tafsir of Ma'ariful quran (by Muft Taqi Usmani directly on quran.com), here are the links:
- Surah Ali Imran verse 55: quran.com/3:55/tafsirs/en-tafsir-maarif-ul-quran
- Surah Maidah verse 157: quran.com/4:157/tafsirs/en-tafsir-maarif-ul-quran
There are many theories for the substitution hypothesis apart for Judas - fully explicated here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_views_on_Jesus%27_death#Substitution_interpretation
I would caution against using the synoptic gospels or acts as sources, as we cannot verify the sources with any accuracy. They wouldn't pass any isnad (chain of narrators) or matn (text) verification test and would be straight up classified as fabricated (mawdu) according hadith sciences. These texts served to propagate a certain christological position. So, we only accept that which falls in line with the Quran as that is direct revelation and authentically preserved. Same goes for the hebrew bible (TaNaK).
