Thanks Al Muqaddimah, we really needed this video! You would have brought many in the audience from a polemic to history. I am sure many of the people in the audience would have not been aware of this data.
There is no Rishi or Prophet of any religion in the world, whose entire history is available to us. But about Prophet Muhammad, even the begrudging Christian historian professor Hitti, had to acknowledge that *he was the only one of the world prophets to be born within the full light of history."* - History of the Arabs (chapter 8, page 3)

I just finished watching them. And I have to say these videos were uploaded at a good time. Literally last week I started a discussion on the Yahweh, El, Moses, Abraham, etc... and their historicity. And no one in the discussion brought up Christ or the prophet Muhammad. Because everyone was sure they existed lol Although I remember years ago some guys had other crazy sources regarding the life of the prophet Muhammad. One of them believed the word "Muhammad" was actually used as a title for Christ. Another believed that he was from Syria/Palestine (the Levant) instead of Mecca and Medina. And another believed that he was a fabrication and didn't exist in the first place. It's safe to say that those are fringe theories. And the academic consensus was that he existed. Another interesting discussion (theory) is about Christ and his relation to the Pharisees. As well as the dead sea scrolls in general. I also have to add that there are many crazy theories on Christ. Like him being euhemerised myth and so on
I went to Muhammad first. I'm going to Jesus next. I'm a Biblical historian so I was pretty sure I'd already know what will be said, but I might learn something new 😋
Do a collab on the prophet Muhammad, tracking the development of his historic life and the development his belief system, which led up to the writing of the Qur'an. I put my faith in you, since I'm not quite sure if people, other than you two, could possibly create an unbiased and objective view on the topic.
@Amperoar TY I am sorry, what I've meant not the "develompent of HIS belief system", but how the process of the revelation of THE belief system correlates with the life and actions of the historic figure. What changes occurred in his lifetime during the revelation itself, which was written down.

@@jamalmohamed5980 Why the little liar was real but he was a nobody. He made the Moon God the one true God. He did no miracle, he preached peace then went to war and killed thousands for his allah. He said the Jews and Christians were cousins in faith then went to war against both. He was a fool.
I grew up in a Christian household and I've always had so many questions about Islam because of how closely and yet distantly the three (including Judaism) are connected. I found this video so informative and so helpful and I'm eager to learn more.
As a Biblical historian, what are your views on the historical Jesus and what scholarly books do you recommend for the average fella to read? Good luck on your pursuit of truth BTW! :)

Such as the fact that there existed tens of Kaabahs, that the story of the Miraj developed over time and the original hadiths didnt have Muhammad in Jerusalem...that the notion of hadiths is completely disregarded in scholarly reconstruction of history, that Mecca is not a historical city and did not exist till 6th century and mecca cant be found mentioned anywhere till the 8th century and isnt on a map till the 10th century....
SA: "Digging up Mecca and Medina for archeology? How dare you, don't you have any respect?!" Also SA: "Skyscraper 100 feet away from Kaaba? Well, that sounds like a great idea!"
doubt there is much of archeologic value left in Mecca, the Wahabi started destroying much of the graves and shrines including the shrine of Fastima as early as the start of the 19th century and have continued till today. Actually the Wahabi Saudi's destroyed more cultural heritage then IS.
Not just any skyscraper at that, it's the world's 3rd tallest building (and used to be the 2nd)! It infuriates me, how there is luxury right next to a place where you have to be modest. Would it hurt them no to build the tower right next to the Kaaba when they have cities like Ryad And Jedda.
@@kamion53 Those shrines you're talking about were built by the Ottomans. The early Islamic caliphates never built shrines over graves as it's forbidden in Islam. Hence why the so called Wahhabis destroyed it. They didn't destroy graves, they destroyed shrines.

I like the disclaimer that you did at the beginning. No one is going to be 100% unbiased in any research. At least we can know where you are coming from and how you set out to approach the topic. I think you did a very good job.
Your channel, as well as those of “Let’s Talk Religion,” “Esoterica,” and “Religion for Breakfast” do excellent work. I’m especially glad that I found yours. I’m a Christian myself (I often call myself a “heretical Protestant” somewhat jokingly), but I have a deep fascination with and love for the world’s many faiths and their histories. (And I especially love the mystical dimensions of religion.) Islam is a faith with which I’ve always felt an especially deep kinship, having studied it for almost twenty-two years. It’s excellent to see more Muslims engaging with Islamic history and it’s major figures, ideas, and movements. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber. Asalaamu alaykum from an American grad student in India!
I'm so glad I found your channel! While I personally am atheist, I find the study of history and religion, psychology and sociology and how all of it is intertwined absolutely fascinating. Please keep up your amazing work ❤️
@@LR-kr9sz actually that's a known ... Impact...side effect...not sure of the best way to phrase it, of LSD, mushrooms, and other hallucinogens. I'll see if I can find some of the studies
Hi! I am also Muslim and am a graduate student of history specialing in religious and ritual studies. Similar to you, I also had to grapple questions about my faith when I was studying and writing on the Islamicate world and reconciling it with history. Your preface made me at ease knowing that I am doing my best staying in objectivity but also staying in my faith. Thank you so much, and keep up the good work!
Brother... I don't understand what is the stuff that u both are talking about that u need to reconcile with ur faith? We already know that prophet Muhammad went into wars for example and we have all the stories about him and his wars since forever . Yes maybe we might see some violence in there but when we put everything there will be no problem! Because violence is necessary sometimes. Like banu qurathia بنو قريظة incident if u put it in its historical context I don't see a problem with it
The whole point was to view it from modern historical standards and from unbiased account, not considering Muslim authors. Comments mentioning Hadith as sources loose the point of the video. As a Muslim we all believe that the Hadith and the knowledge of it has immense merit and are true. But the objective approach demands the researcher to be outside the argument, reporting the findings on what there is, not on what he/she thinks. May Allah guide us all and give us toufeeq, and provide us with the understanding to follow the teaching of Prophet Muhammad SAWW in the best way possible. Ameen.
Bro you do know the whole point of hadith compilations like Bukhari was for the sole purpose of academically shifting through what was authentic and what was not? Hadiths did not come 200 years after the Death of the propht pbuh, they were there since his death, books like Sahih Muslim just collected them 200 years later when paper was freely available.
Not all Muslims believe in hadith collections, check Dr. Javad Hashmi, Mufti Abu Layth and many Muslims with sunni background. And if we bring mutazila /abadi /Ismaliis things get real complicated.
Thank you for this, I really appreciate having a place to learn about the history of Muhammad. As a Westerner, in school, we are not given any of this information, in our educational system. I really believe that it is up to us to learn about each other's cultures so we can learn to respect each other and get along better, as Earthlings.💜🙏🏻☮️
Why would you get information in your educational system about figures like Jesus or Muhammad? You probably did have some education about the religions themselves? The religions do exist, but It's not an historical fact these 'prophets' existed. So you'll probably not hear that much about it in history class..
@@jaronimo1976 I'm just astounded at how much we aren't taught, even about our own indigenous people, in school. Everything we are taught in school is from the European white man's standpoint.

Terrible if people jump to takfir or name-calling tbh. I love Al-Muqaddimah's channel and it has educated me to a whole other degree concerning Islamic history; however, he said some questionable stuff in other videos that are obviously based off orientalist beliefs. One example is that he stated (using western English sources) that it was common for Caliphs to drink wine. Only if he knew, Islamically, how major of a statement that is--to claim a Caliph or any fellow muslim to doing a major sin without any reliable proof. Al-Mu'tadid (the Admin) states that they were excused to drink alcohol; however, there is nothing in the primary sources (of those time periods) that mention wine drinking. It only appears in the works of orientalists later on, the same works that tried to portray Caliph Al-Ma'mun as a homosexual (because he didn't fool around with the Harem women as much as others). Also, as Al-Mu'tadid rightfully mentioned, Caliphs used to lead the Friday Prayer for the muslims. Now, any muslim with a lick of knowledge in jurisprudence would know that the consuming of alcohol nullifies prayer for forty days, so how could the Caliph lead the prayer, with thousands following him, if he had drank the very previous nights? Anyways, that is my only critique, there may be one other, concerning this account; however, perfection belongs to Allah (swt) and I hope that Al-Mu'tadid or the owner of this channel will fix this mistake.
What I know, David and Solomon are not prophets, just kings according to Judaism and Christianity. I did not read the text that was referenced in the video but I understanded it as no prophet spreads his religion by sword what Joshua did not do.
@@Shahzada1prince what about Moses? He fought the amalekites and other people around those areas and also Jesus told his disciples to sell their clothes and buy swords
I checked the wikipedia, they're all considered prophets, though David and Solomon are also kings. ETA: all considered prophets in Judaism, not sure about Christianity.
@Arif Ahmed Khan This depends a lot on how you define "prophet". In the biblical tradition, a prophet is someone who speaks with and for God. Joshua would satisfy this, but not David or Solomon, IIRC. I don't have all the scripture memorized, but I don't recall any accounts of David or Solomon ever speaking directly with God, or having God speak directly to them, but rather they were counseled (and often rebuked, esp. in David's case) by a prophet of the time.
Even as a Christian, I have utmost respect for Muhammad and those who follow his teachings. Much love to you, thank you for making such an informative video!
You shouldn't have "upmost respect" for a murderer slave owner and above all else a paedophile who married a 6 year old and consummated his marriage at 9
@@hgg219 You have ignored the fact that such marriage in such age in such era was a natural matter, therefore it is clear that you are not criticizing the early marriage of a nine-year-old girl to a fifty-year-old man as much as you are keen to criticize and distort the picture of the prophet of Islam peace and blessings of Allah be upon him - and instigate others against him. Accordingly, this undermines your credibility and unveils your false human feelings and malicious intentions under the pretext of defending the rights of woman. if you were really seeking denouncing such marriage, they should have spoken about such marriage as a general phenomenon which appeared before Islam and continued after it and would not focus their criticism on one person as if he was the one who invented such marriage or the first one who applied it or the only one who did it. prophet Muhammad - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him - was born in a society in which early marriage was something ordinary and natural, therefore, he married the way others did. moreover, his enemies, who tried to kill him, did not use such marriage as a pretext to distort his picture or instigate against him because it was an ordinary matter in such era. The marriage in early ages was prevailing in Europe itself, especially the early marriage of kings and rulers in the twelfth century for the purpose of creating alliances guaranteeing the continuity of peace. An example for that is the empress Anias, in France, the wife of two Byzantine Emperors: Emperor Alexius Kamanis II, and the Emperor Andronikos Kamanos I, respectively. According to (William of Tyre), Anias was just eight years old when she reached Constantine while Alexios was thirteen years old (1). Moreover, the wife of Alexios Kamanos I was twelve years old when she married and became an empress before attaining fifteen years. As for the empress of Byzantium Theodora the wife of Manwel, she was thirteen years old when she married the Prince of Jerusalem Baldwin III moreover, Margret Maria Hingaria married Izak Anglos II when she was nine years. Also put in mind she reach and finished puberty making her by definition not a child(pre-pubescent) Read sahih Bukhari 476. The definition of a P3d0 is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children. I proven she was not a Child (pre-pubescent) and her being a Adult whilst her age being young was possible during that time. Salam
I think your videos are great. I just hope you take pride in Islam’s history. I’m not a Muslim but Islam has done so much for the world. The history of Islam is so interesting! Cheers from America!
@@Yanzdorloph Fully agreed, and people usually justify it by saying "well it drives some people to do better, to continue on with those achievements" and to that I say "might as well tell them Santa will reward them if they do that" Just because something gives some people a positive feeling doesn't make that thing logical
Glad to see you’re back! And tackling a subject I’ve often wondered about (admittedly as a non-Muslim) as well!

There are plenty of Muslim researchers who are open to both religious and non-religious interpretations and ideas. From the sunni community, I can name Mohammed Hijab, Hamza Tzortzis, Omar Suleiman and many others. A researcher named Nouman Ali Khan recently did a series comparing the story of Prophet Joseph in the Bible and the Quran. Also, I follow a shi’i scholar named Sayyed Kamal Al-Haydari who studies both secular and religious, also sunni, shi’i, sufi etc, sources. It’s too bad his lectures are only in Arabic and aren’t translated yet. You would have a hard time finding them because main stream academia promotes only the conservative and strict scholars. That goes for christianity and atheism as well.
I don't think you've been paying attention to all the academic research that has been going on about Islam and Islamic history for a long time. Edit: This research is being/has been carried out by Western secular academics. However you're not gonna find their work with flashy RUclips videos. You gotta pick up a few books.
Yes that’s true, but I personally think it’s because us Muslims believe that the Quran was a direct source from Allah himself, and therefore it is good to not disagree with it, as it increases our faith
"Non-religious ", every and each conquered area and people were assimilated in Islam and Muslims. All research was started by translating Greek and Latin works into Arabic and Persian.
@@jun2011jh Because people were converting to Islam, so of course they would change their language to the language that part of their belief is tied to(the language of the Quran) and also Jews and Christians were allowed to live peacefully (Andalusia)
Although I am not a Muslim, I do believe that Muhammad existed. I would be rather shocked if he did not exist. As for the accounts of what all happened in his life, it would be interesting to know what is and is not true about his actual life.
@@آدمبرانسي One has to take a leap of faith though when it comes to the supernatural aspects of his story and whether or not you believe that such things are possible. For example, one can believe that Muhammad existed without also believing that angels exist.
@@halaldunya918 It would be really interesting to know who these various religious figures really were as I only see a few possibilities for any religious prophet. If we assume that a religious prophet existed, are we limited to the following interpretations of his life? 1) That this person really had some kind of divine connection. 2) That the person genuinely believed that he had a divine connection but was mistaken in that belief for whatever reason, be it having been manipulated by others, the result of drug use, mental illness, etc. 3) That the person was deliberately lying about their prophetic or messianic role to gain influence over others for nefarious purposes. 4) That the person was deliberately lying about their prophetic or messianic role for what he believed to be a greater good.
- What about the letter written by prophet Muhammad to the ruler of Rome? - What about the letter written by the king of Sri Lanka to prophet Muhammad pbuh which only arrived at the time of Abubakr Ra? What about the king of Kerala India who met prophet Muhammad pbuh and embraced islam after witnessing the moon being split?
Nobody outside of muslim tradition thinks that any of those are authentic. Not even all scholars of muslim faith. None of the evidence from the Hadiths of elsewhere can even be dated close to the time it is supposed to have happened. The example of the Sri Lankan kings's letter "arriving late" is sort of hilarious. You mean, almost as if produced by somebody who would have known Muhammad only from hearsay?
@@helpIthinkmylegsaregone oh the evidemce for his life part. Yeah thats not good evidemce. For all someone couldve known it could be a arabian mythological character that the people heard about
I did not see any "jerk" comments, people are civil for the most part. All it seems is that you are trying to create/amplify non-existent/niche-minority "jerk" comments, which perhaps has to do with your preconceived notions that you are projecting here.
Long comment warning..... After finishing the video, I think you are very dismissive of hadith reports on his life, yes most of the original hadith records were physically lost, but that ignores the fact the main way of transmitting books at the time was oral, and since thousands of students would memorise the hadiths from the original author, even if some got some of it wrong when recording it in a book, the error would be found quickly when comparing it with other sources, Abdullah bin omar recorded hadiths during the lifetime of the prophet, many of which his servant nafi' learned, and malik bin anas was a student of nafi', so only two men came before him when he recorded hadiths in his book al-muatta'(I've butchered the spelling) and he wasn't the first one to record hadith, many earlier sources recorded it, yes the original records are gone, but again physical writing down of books was considered a secondary way of saving them, memorising them was the main way, and because thousands of people did it, the chances a mistake would go unnoticed are low, especially how the prophet promised severe punishment for those who lie on his behalf, people were afraid of making mistakes when writing those hadiths down, and all the narrators of authentic hadith are known people who scholars of hadith know their names, background, knowledge, capacity for memorisation, throughout a very detailed process, even if it wasn't 100% correct, dismissing it would be like dismissing any record on Alexander the great's life because all surviving records are after his time and all of them were written by his successors who needed political legitimacy so they obviously didn't give a very accurate record, but that doesn't mean we can just dismiss it and say we know nothing about his life
100% Accurate. Only difference being that people actually spent the time to filter through the dodgy narrations thousands of years ago for the life of the Prophet(SAW)
As a muslim, i dont understand how u can be called munafiq or murtad for this. Its very informative :D also watched ur vid about the quran and its versions. Theyre all interesting.

In UsefulCharts's video he outlined the historical method where the most compelling evidence would be personal artifacts or works from the subject historical figures. It's a bit disappointing that this is not applied uniformly to the video series, and you pretty much skipped right to the third option. As others have pointed out, Muhammad PBUH has dispatched diplomatic correspondence to both Rome and Persia, with His seal, and those still exists.
Exactly. There are a number of his letters still preserved. And the physical evidence of existence can't be ruled out this easily. Artifacts, clothes, swords, and other things related directly to him still exists. And his grave's location is well known and not speculated.
As a non-Abrahamic individual, I really loved this series as it deals with the questions with carefully analyzed facts, figures, and logic, rather than focusing on faith and speculation. Kudos to you for being able to stay objective and not giving in to your personal beliefs. Keep up the good work.
As a muslim I respect your honesty . Because if you a real muslim you should be honest about everything even your religion Thank you for sharing this knowledge
What about the letters of the Prophet (s.a.w.) that he sent to the different rulers of his time? I feel like those should have been mentioned in a video like this.
@Ateeba Kamran just ignore him. They don't have anything so concrete in their religion - or whatever B.S. he believes in now... Most of them are miserable atheists now.
do you really think he wouldn't include the letters if they existed? He's literally a Muslim and he would dig himself into anything that would prove Muhammad was real. Even if the letters existed no one is allowed to do any dating to make sure they are not forgeries.
The first hadith collection was done by imam malik.Imam malik was born in 93 A.H and died in 179A.H so not after 200years!He even met nafi was an ex slave of hazrat abdullah bin umer who was the son of hazrat umer.The writing of the hadith collection by imam malik had been started at around 163A.H.
And he dismissed going into the science of hadeeth collection. The strength of the memory of the Arabs, the rigorous testing of hadith b4 they were accepted or even when written how they were graded according to their authenticity. How literally every authentic hadeeth has a chain of narrators going back to the prophet SAW and how studying these narrators and their reliability is a science of its own which became well established not long after the death of the Prophet
@@zahraaghaswala This my friend is called post-colonial inferiority complex where a person only finds stuff written by the westerners as reliable.Sad reality.Our sahih hadith have chains going back to the Prophet(PBUH).Whereas western writtings on average rarely have chains going back to a specific person

@@iceinmyveins998 his method is neither objective nor neutral because it relies on a naturalist method.

He depicted everything from Muslim as biased whereas citation from enenemies of Islam and competing religions are according to him unbiased. He dismisses the offspring of the Prophet and so.

@@Goodguy507 As a universalist, I doubt that all Muslims will be punished. But all humans will be judged. Sorry for the weirdo attacking you though. He's a vocal minority. Your attack on Christianity however utterly fails. A willing sacrifice for the sake of many isn't the same as fighting. This is similar to a strawman. You misrepresent the crucifixion as a failed rebellion (Jesus wasn't as violent as Mohamed. Even Muslims should grant that The Prophet Isa was peaceful) when in reality it was a simple means to an end. This end being the salvation of humanity. Jesus was Pacifistic and had no intention of harming his creations. Why would a pacifist fight against a willing sacrifice? Why would a Father harm his ignorant and angry kids whom he knows doesn't know any better? It's like saying you have no respect for a fire fighter who sacrificed his life to save people from a fire because he died in it by willingly putting his life on the line. This is a misunderstanding of Christian Theology on your part. Granted, I don't hold to fast to penal substitution as I'm far more a fan of Christus Victor. By Christs resurrection, he has permanently defeated death. That at least calls for grand praise. Hence, the Christian's believe and hope. Let us agree to respect each others religions.
@@monarchblue4280 He never classified Jesus' crucifixion as a failed rebellion. Simply that as per your bible, God was humiliated by pagans. God the ALL MIGHTY. He can not be humiliated. "Jesus wasn't as violent as Muhhamed." If you Believe Jesus is literally God, then this is false. God punishes people severely and orders his followers to violently attack his enemies in the Old Testament. " Why would a Father harm his ignorant and angry kids whom he knows doesn't know any better? " In all Abrahamic traditions, God literally floods the entire world to punish the Corrupt. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are smited for their wickedness. Humanity DOES know better because they received revelation from God. They cannot claim ignorance.
I'm incredibly amazed at both the honesty and sensibility of the disclaimer and of the sources presented. A lot about Islam ends up being ignored or made to fit notions of religion in the Jewish or Christian senses, and that can end up creating some nonexistent parallels while real connections are considered too complex to teach at a public school level. This channel fixes that, at least for me.
There is no Rishi or Prophet of any religion in the world, whose entire history is available to us.

I really admire your objectivity. I am an American that has been living in Islamic countries for 17 years and as you know, most believers dare not consider anything outside standard dogma. Unconventional thinking or discussions can barely take place among people. It is so sensitive spiritually to most Muslims that any intellectual mentions can start an angry encounter.

Pioneer work, great to see that there are religious people who can be also rational. Very very important thing, the key to the Muslim revival, growth, and peace!
This series was enjoyable and very informative. It's a shame that you're getting hate for your installment in the comments from who don't understand how historical methodology is done. They appear to just be the vocal minority based on the like and dislike ratio. I'm definitely subscribing to your channel because you cover very interesting topics and you try your best to be unbiased.
If you are interested dr Yasir qadhi has great biography of him that you can easily find on RUclips. Type seerah of prophet by yasir qadhi. Very detailed and also talks about sources that are used for his life
Should mention the utmost care of filtering hadith (Sahih, dhaif, munkar, maudhu.. etc). Probably the most quoted person in history, how can some people doubt he existed.
@@nakkadu Nope, if you watch the video, or any related videos, it was his existence questioned. Usually because lack of record outside religious traditions or outside arabia. Which kinda hard cause any report of his speech or doing, considered as religious rules, and the rest of the world kinda ignore arabia at that time.
@@finhas8865 Most non-religious people realise all the stories about flying horses and moon splitting are made up, but willingly accept some guy called Mohamed existed - it's not an important enough claim to argue with.
As an academic and a Muslim I thoroughly enjoy this channel and this video! 🙌🏽 May Allah SWT continue to guide you and forgive you and each of us who believe in Allah, The Prophet PBUH, The Books, the Angels, & The Final Day & Decree from our Lord. Ameen 🤲🏽
@@AlMuqaddimahYT According to Doctrina Jacobi, did not Muhammad (salaa allah ealayh wasalam) live? please help me !🥺 Isn't the person mentioned in Doctrina Jacobi the same person as our Prophet?
@@AlMuqaddimahYT the first mention of the prophet comes only 2 years after the prophets death? So you take European sources to when he is mentioned but ignore his Arab companions? Why because they weren’t white? How do you ignore the science of hadeeth and the preservation of history through the Arabs but acknowledge how Europeans preserved history from a thousand years ago? This is a joke some straight up inferior type of thinking clearly all your teachers are non Muslim Europeans.
@@Islam.is.the.truth.. because the islamic sources need to be verified because they're biased, which he cannot do. While if there are Bezyntine records or persian records or records from any other nation it means that he most definitely existed as these nations have no reason to lie or fabricate things about Muhammad.
On reading the title, I thought it's going to be a regular Islamophobic video. But I was wrong! Good work indeed. I explored your channel, it's amazing + u earned a sub!
This guy obviously time travelled from the golden age of Islam. He certainly has all the traits are long lost among Muslims such as as criticising, research, neutral approach the matters of religion. Respect!
@@worfoz That's subjective and on common ground arguable whether it's offensive or not, actually it shouldn't be offensive to you and the reason is simple, we don't know how did the Prophet (peace be upon him)actually look like so any depiction would not reflect the reality which in your case whether depicted or not wouldn't benefited you in some way while for us Muslims it is offensive because not only it does not and could not represent the real Prophet of Islam (peace be upon him) it then add to the disrespect that could be done onto his character which you may not grasp and that's your value not ours. However, allow me to ask you why would it be offensive to you? My take is that the only reason you claim it is offensive is because somehow you feel like your liberty of expression is being repressed or that your value is not given a priority, wouldn't you agree with that? And if you do, aren't you then claiming some sort of privilege over us? And please give a valid reason why you ought to be privileged if you assume so.
Great video! It’s wonderful to see Muslims interested in the history of their faith from a non-apologetic perspective. It sound like a really exciting project.
What about those Letters send by Prophet Muhammad S.A.W to kings and rulers outside Peninsular Arab in year 6 Hijrah inviting them to Islam signed by him
I don't know why he ignored many other factors and also moving on just by a silly mention on Hadiths, and neglecting the many other records, seems like covering up all these or what! Idk..... His way of presentation & overall Work is Great but that doesn't make it True. Gotta be careful on his works.
Very honestly and well done. Never did the narrator allow his faith to overpower the facts. I have not seen a better historic presentation of this founder before. So thank you
Out of the three videos, I have the most respect for this video as the honesty and effort to be objective could be argued to be more difficult for the creator.
Always good to see a new video from you, I swear I learn something new with each video! I commend your approach with this subject and your ability to take a objective approach to it. I hope you have a good day man and keep making these awesome videos!
@På Luffen dude, I don't know what crazy muslim friends you have but there is no sunni muslim who will tell you that ahadith are fake. Plus I don't know of any historien who claims that the last prophet didn't exist, this is even worse than flat earth conspiracy theorists...
@På Luffen and just to clarify since you seem to be confused but any one who reject all the ahadith are Quranist by definition, anybody who follow the ahadith are sunni by definition. Unless you belong to a specific sect that have a different methodology in filtering ahadith (theological one and not historical) like shiaa. Edit: spelling.
This fellow maybe the product of freemason agent do you not realise there are 5 attempt to stole the prophet body in madinah during the middle ages and why done you tried to steal the body and made an examination???
I came across this channel after watching the Sana'a Manuscript video and have enjoyed your informative videos. All I have to say is you don't have to qualify about giving historical information by pronouncing that you are approaching the topic in a "secular" or "liberal" manner. After all critical thinking is a very large part of why Islamic empires produced so much work on philosophy and logic.
I enjoyed your intro, your video, and this collaboration. Thank you for the quality information. I highly appreciate your goal of being objective, as well as that same goal by the other two contributors. Excellent work to you three.
Really love your videos, Al Muqaddimah. Thanks man. One thing I love about this faith is that it accepts the idea that many prophets existed, and not just one. I learned that from this channel. As a student of Hermeticism and Alchemy, I really appreciate that. From a historical perspective, and through a Hermetic lense, one must admit that the prophets Muhammad, Moses, Solomon, Imhotep(Thoth/Hermes), and Jesus were, at the *least,* magicians/alchemists/masters of the Craft. I'm super excited to learn more!
thanks for doing these videos. these have been tremendously informative to me, as a catholic-raised american who was fed a lot of total bullshit about Islam as a kid
Not religious myself but I find religions and the different belief systems they have very interesting. In particular I’ve been diving a bit into learning about Islam lately since, as an American, it’s not something we really learn about in depth. Excellent work!
There needs to be more people like you. More people secure enough in their faith in the religion, that they do not avoid from asking these questions. Great video!
There's no bad thing in asking questions, but he lies. He lied about the Hadith and he didn't even mention the findings of Mohammad Hamidullah en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Hamidullah He is an highly respected person in France.

One of the most interesting 7th century accounts about Prophet Muhammad comes from Sebeos who was a Bishop of the House of Bagratunis. Sebeos is the first non-Muslim author to present us with a theory for the rise of Islam that pays attention to what the Muslims themselves thought they were doing: *At that time a certain man from along those same sons of Ishmael, whose name was Mụhammad, a merchant, as if by God's command appeared to them as a preacher and the path of truth. He taught them to recognize the God of Abraham, especially because he was learnt and informed in the history of Moses. Now because the command was from on high, at a single order they all came together in unity of religion. Abandoning their vain cults, they turned to the living God who had appeared to their father Abraham. So, Muhammad legislated for them: not to eat carrion, not to drink wine, not to speak falsely, and not to engage in fornication. He said: 'With an oath God promised this land to Abraham and his seed after him for ever. And he brought about as he promised during that time while he loved Israel. But now you are the sons of Abraham and God is accomplishing his promise to Abraham and his seed for you. Love sincerely only the God of Abraham, and go and seize the land which God gave to your father Abraham. No one will be able to resist you in battle, because God is with you.* *- R. G. Hoyland, Seeing Islam As Others Saw It: A Survey And Evaluation Of Christian, Jewish And Zoroastrian Writings On Early Islam, 1997, p. 129* We can see that Sebeos knows plenty of personal information about Prophet Muhammad. For example, he is aware that Muhammad was a merchant by profession before his Prophethood. He hints that his life was suddenly changed by a divinely inspired revelation. He presents a good summary of Prophet Muhammad's preaching i.e belief in One God and Abraham as a common ancestor of Jews and Arabs. He even picks out some of the prohibitions which are mentioned in the Qur'an, such as false speech and drinking of alcohol. All this information that Sebeos presents accurately conforms to the Islamic traditions. Many take such detailed, early and accurate accounts about Prophet Muhammad for granted but it's actually quite rare with figures from ancient history.
Ayesha tells us in two explicit hadiths, one through al Bukhari, and one through Al Muslim, that Muhamad was having sex with her when she was SIX; (Bukhari tells us she was still playing with dolls!); and these facts are confirmed by ALL of Muhamad's other early chroniclers; At Tabari; Sunan Dawood, Abu Hisham, Abu Hishag, and all the others! How many other little girls he raped, we will never know, but we do know by HIS OWN RULING, he and his followers had free access to all the females they'd enslaved, age unspecified! (And his followers left enough documented instances also of his interests in other little girls, for us to be quite sure his paedophilia did not stop at Ayesha!). So, was Muhamad a man you would trust near YOUR little girl? When a man in his fifties is having sex with a child of six, RAPE is the only possible word for it! A man who rapes little girls is SATAN'S messenger, not Allah's, not a holy prophet, just a deeply sick sex criminal. And his followers, what answer will THEY give on judgment day, when Jesus asks them how they could follow a child rapist false prophet! Even today in all the jihadi lands, little girls are forced into under age marriage by men whose mullahs tell them it's fine to do it, because Muhamad did; and in all the Pakistani madrassas the little boys are being regularly raped by their teachers, who get away with it in 99 cases out of a hundred, because the boys come from poor families, and Pakistan is another jihadi state where all sorts of wickedness is done by the muhamadite clergy, and people are afraid to confront them!
@@imanatafridi7212 tell me the verse and I PROMISE i can refute it and plus Aisha ra was litterly called the virgin mother of islam🤣🤣 Ohhhhh and plus this was the only vid I was hoping to have a positive comment section but you just gotta ruin it
I'll tell ya, I've had to watch this video 8 separate times as if you don't listen closely you'll miss the salient parts. This is a highly detailed, condensed summary of the topic! It's respectful. I'm Muslim and I'm telling you, it's done with respect!
Does it make sense that taking only *non-muslim* sources to account and ignoring all Muslim sources? Logically It doesn't to me. Why would I look for references in sources where Muhammad wasn't? It's like trying to find oxygen in Mars when you already know there's no oxygen in Mars. In fact, Muslim souces are most reliable compared to all non-muslim sources as Muslim sources contain rich literature.
I do not think you understand. I will attempt to explain. Suppose you wanted find out if Moses existed. The jews would point to their ancient scrolls and the Torah. Of course they have evidence to present. Moses is a central figure in THEIR religion. So there is built in bias here. But what if you found a clear citing of the name of Moses on an Egyptian tablet or on the wall of an ancient Egyptian tomb that had been sealed for over 4000 years? Now you have evidence not shrouded in Jewish tradition and religion. This evidence seems more corroborative because it is impartial, not subject to Jewish bias. That is why evidence of Muhammad OUTSIDE Islam would be more desirable.
Think about it. You are looking for the historical existence not religious. It’s called Bias. Not saying all Muslims would lie or embellish but Muslims are just human after all. Humans cannot be trusted. You need someone who doesn’t care at all if he existed or not, doesn’t matter to them at all, they are reported what they saw. It’s easy to understand. Would you believe a Christian writing about Christ Jesus or a non Christian writing about Jesus more. I would. Same with any historical figure like kings and pharaohs.
The idea is that non-Muslim sources would not be biased in favour the way that Muslim sources would. So if you have a non-Muslim source saying one thing, and a Muslim source says the same thing or doesn't contradict it, we can assume it's true to a standard that would satisfy non-Muslims too.
I'm a Muslim from Indonesia and I aware the non-Muslim sources who hinted Muhammad was still alive when Palestine was conquered. I really appreciate that you mentioned them.
Dear Muqaddimah, thank you for your wonderful video. I have one comments hope you can remake this video to include the works of Ahmad Al-Jallad. As the discovery of writings on stones in safaic writings and also early arabic writings. It would make this video much more interesting as it may can compliment approach of this video which depends on the work of Robert Hoyland. Regards
The moment you revealed your potential bias was the moment my bullshit meter was disarmed; thank you for transparency, as it does immediately afford you authority in the knowledge of your subject, both from your adherence from within the faith, and from your desire to teach the faith's past objectively without letting theology blend into your historiography; i hope others agree this was a fantastic video to teach some of the Prophet (pbuh) 101.
Good video from a neutral view. I would suggest to watch some videos on existance of the prophet by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf who will add and clarify some of your points. Peace brother.

Who else watched the Moses and Jesus videos and is finishing up with this one?
basically everyone
I am also part of that group
ME ME ME!!!
I just finished watching them.
And I have to say these videos were uploaded at a good time. Literally last week I started a discussion on the Yahweh, El, Moses, Abraham, etc... and their historicity. And no one in the discussion brought up Christ or the prophet Muhammad. Because everyone was sure they existed lol
Although I remember years ago some guys had other crazy sources regarding the life of the prophet Muhammad. One of them believed the word "Muhammad" was actually used as a title for Christ. Another believed that he was from Syria/Palestine (the Levant) instead of Mecca and Medina. And another believed that he was a fabrication and didn't exist in the first place.
It's safe to say that those are fringe theories. And the academic consensus was that he existed.
Another interesting discussion (theory) is about Christ and his relation to the Pharisees. As well as the dead sea scrolls in general. I also have to add that there are many crazy theories on Christ. Like him being euhemerised myth and so on
I went to Muhammad first. I'm going to Jesus next. I'm a Biblical historian so I was pretty sure I'd already know what will be said, but I might learn something new 😋
Always great to work with you! Thanks for this collaboration!

Do a collab on the prophet Muhammad, tracking the development of his historic life and the development his belief system, which led up to the writing of the Qur'an. I put my faith in you, since I'm not quite sure if people, other than you two, could possibly create an unbiased and objective view on the topic.
@Amperoar TY I am sorry, what I've meant not the "develompent of HIS belief system", but how the process of the revelation of THE belief system correlates with the life and actions of the historic figure. What changes occurred in his lifetime during the revelation itself, which was written down.

May Allah increase our intellectual strength both in iman and worldly ilm.
Brother...
I don't understand what is the stuff that u both are talking about that u need to reconcile with ur faith?
We already know that prophet Muhammad went into wars for example and we have all the stories about him and his wars since forever .
Yes maybe we might see some violence in there but when we put everything there will be no problem!
Because violence is necessary sometimes. Like banu qurathia بنو قريظة incident if u put it in its historical context I don't see a problem with it
I have similar feelings. in the end the grey areas can only be affirmed by faith (or otherwise by renouncing it)
The more objective you become, the more you uncover, the more you rationalise, the less theistic you become.
The whole point was to view it from modern historical standards and from unbiased account, not considering Muslim authors. Comments mentioning Hadith as sources loose the point of the video. As a Muslim we all believe that the Hadith and the knowledge of it has immense merit and are true. But the objective approach demands the researcher to be outside the argument, reporting the findings on what there is, not on what he/she thinks.
May Allah guide us all and give us toufeeq, and provide us with the understanding to follow the teaching of Prophet Muhammad SAWW in the best way possible. Ameen.
Amin
Bro you do know the whole point of hadith compilations like Bukhari was for the sole purpose of academically shifting through what was authentic and what was not? Hadiths did not come 200 years after the Death of the propht pbuh, they were there since his death, books like Sahih Muslim just collected them 200 years later when paper was freely available.
Not all Muslims believe in hadith collections, check Dr. Javad Hashmi, Mufti Abu Layth and many Muslims with sunni background. And if we bring mutazila /abadi /Ismaliis things get real complicated.
Exactly!!!! So many people complaining in the comments missed the point. UNBIASED SOURCES ONLY.

Why would you get information in your educational system about figures like Jesus or Muhammad? You probably did have some education about the religions themselves?

Terrible if people jump to takfir or name-calling tbh. I love Al-Muqaddimah's channel and it has educated me to a whole other degree concerning Islamic history; however, he said some questionable stuff in other videos that are obviously based off orientalist beliefs.
One example is that he stated (using western English sources) that it was common for Caliphs to drink wine. Only if he knew, Islamically, how major of a statement that is--to claim a Caliph or any fellow muslim to doing a major sin without any reliable proof. Al-Mu'tadid (the Admin) states that they were excused to drink alcohol; however, there is nothing in the primary sources (of those time periods) that mention wine drinking. It only appears in the works of orientalists later on, the same works that tried to portray Caliph Al-Ma'mun as a homosexual (because he didn't fool around with the Harem women as much as others). Also, as Al-Mu'tadid rightfully mentioned, Caliphs used to lead the Friday Prayer for the muslims. Now, any muslim with a lick of knowledge in jurisprudence would know that the consuming of alcohol nullifies prayer for forty days, so how could the Caliph lead the prayer, with thousands following him, if he had drank the very previous nights?
Anyways, that is my only critique, there may be one other, concerning this account; however, perfection belongs to Allah (swt) and I hope that Al-Mu'tadid or the owner of this channel will fix this mistake.

@Amperoar TY So ur saying that liberal muslims are part of the sect that killed Ali?

'Prophets do not come with a sword'? At the very least Joshua, David and Solomon did.
What I know, David and Solomon are not prophets, just kings according to Judaism and Christianity. I did not read the text that was referenced in the video but I understanded it as no prophet spreads his religion by sword what Joshua did not do.
According to Jews, they were kings, not prophet
@@Shahzada1prince what about Moses? He fought the amalekites and other people around those areas and also Jesus told his disciples to sell their clothes and buy swords
I checked the wikipedia, they're all considered prophets, though David and Solomon are also kings.
ETA: all considered prophets in Judaism, not sure about Christianity.
@Arif Ahmed Khan This depends a lot on how you define "prophet". In the biblical tradition, a prophet is someone who speaks with and for God. Joshua would satisfy this, but not David or Solomon, IIRC. I don't have all the scripture memorized, but I don't recall any accounts of David or Solomon ever speaking directly with God, or having God speak directly to them, but rather they were counseled (and often rebuked, esp. in David's case) by a prophet of the time.

You shouldn't have "upmost respect" for a murderer slave owner and above all else a paedophile who married a 6 year old and consummated his marriage at 9
@@hgg219 Go read your bible(numbers 31:18) before lying about Islam lmao

You have ignored the fact that such marriage in such age in such era was a natural matter, therefore it is clear that you are not criticizing the early marriage of a nine-year-old girl to a fifty-year-old man as much as you are keen to criticize and distort the picture of the prophet of Islam peace and blessings of Allah be upon him - and instigate others against him.
Accordingly, this undermines your credibility and unveils your false human feelings and malicious intentions under the pretext of defending the rights of woman. if you were really seeking denouncing such marriage, they should have spoken about such marriage as a general phenomenon which appeared before Islam and continued after it and would not focus their criticism on one person as if he was the one who invented such marriage or the first one who applied it or the only one who did it. prophet Muhammad - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him - was born in a society in which early marriage was something ordinary and natural, therefore, he married the way others did. moreover, his enemies, who tried to kill him, did not use such marriage as a pretext to distort his picture or instigate against him because it was an ordinary matter in such era.
The marriage in early ages was prevailing in Europe itself, especially the early marriage of kings and rulers in the twelfth century for the purpose of creating alliances guaranteeing the continuity of peace. An example for that is the empress Anias, in France, the wife of two Byzantine Emperors: Emperor Alexius Kamanis II, and the Emperor Andronikos Kamanos I, respectively.
According to (William of Tyre), Anias was just eight years old when she reached Constantine while Alexios was thirteen years old (1). Moreover, the wife of Alexios Kamanos I was twelve years old when she married and became an empress before attaining fifteen years. As for the empress of Byzantium Theodora the wife of Manwel, she was thirteen years old when she married the Prince of Jerusalem Baldwin III moreover, Margret Maria Hingaria married Izak Anglos II when she was nine years.
Also put in mind she reach and finished puberty making her by definition not a child(pre-pubescent) Read
sahih Bukhari 476.
The definition of a P3d0 is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children. I proven she was not a Child
(pre-pubescent) and her being a Adult whilst her age being young was possible during that time.

big respect for researching this objectively. many times it can be frustrating how little space islam leaves for non-religious interpretation
There are plenty of Muslim researchers who are open to both religious and non-religious interpretations and ideas. From the sunni community, I can name Mohammed Hijab, Hamza Tzortzis, Omar Suleiman and many others. A researcher named Nouman Ali Khan recently did a series comparing the story of Prophet Joseph in the Bible and the Quran. Also, I follow a shi’i scholar named Sayyed Kamal Al-Haydari who studies both secular and religious, also sunni, shi’i, sufi etc, sources. It’s too bad his lectures are only in Arabic and aren’t translated yet. You would have a hard time finding them because main stream academia promotes only the conservative and strict scholars. That goes for christianity and atheism as well.
I don't think you've been paying attention to all the academic research that has been going on about Islam and Islamic history for a long time.
Edit: This research is being/has been carried out by Western secular academics. However you're not gonna find their work with flashy RUclips videos. You gotta pick up a few books.
Yes that’s true, but I personally think it’s because us Muslims believe that the Quran was a direct source from Allah himself, and therefore it is good to not disagree with it, as it increases our faith

@@MuricaTurkey which video?
Long comment warning.....
After finishing the video, I think you are very dismissive of hadith reports on his life, yes most of the original hadith records were physically lost, but that ignores the fact the main way of transmitting books at the time was oral, and since thousands of students would memorise the hadiths from the original author, even if some got some of it wrong when recording it in a book, the error would be found quickly when comparing it with other sources, Abdullah bin omar recorded hadiths during the lifetime of the prophet, many of which his servant nafi' learned, and malik bin anas was a student of nafi', so only two men came before him when he recorded hadiths in his book al-muatta'(I've butchered the spelling) and he wasn't the first one to record hadith, many earlier sources recorded it, yes the original records are gone, but again physical writing down of books was considered a secondary way of saving them, memorising them was the main way, and because thousands of people did it, the chances a mistake would go unnoticed are low, especially how the prophet promised severe punishment for those who lie on his behalf, people were afraid of making mistakes when writing those hadiths down, and all the narrators of authentic hadith are known people who scholars of hadith know their names, background, knowledge, capacity for memorisation, throughout a very detailed process, even if it wasn't 100% correct, dismissing it would be like dismissing any record on Alexander the great's life because all surviving records are after his time and all of them were written by his successors who needed political legitimacy so they obviously didn't give a very accurate record, but that doesn't mean we can just dismiss it and say we know nothing about his life

And he dismissed going into the science of hadeeth collection. The strength of the memory of the Arabs, the rigorous testing of hadith b4 they were accepted or even when written how they were graded according to their authenticity.

And if you do, aren't you then claiming some sort of privilege over us? And please give a valid reason why you ought to be privileged if you assume so.
Great video! It’s wonderful to see Muslims interested in the history of their faith from a non-apologetic perspective. It sound like a really exciting project.
What about those Letters send by Prophet Muhammad S.A.W to kings and rulers outside Peninsular Arab in year 6 Hijrah inviting them to Islam signed by him
As well as the documented treaties
Yes that is really an important proof. There are many.
I don't know why he ignored many other factors and also moving on just by a silly mention on Hadiths, and neglecting the many other records, seems like covering up all these or what! Idk.....
His way of presentation & overall Work is Great but that doesn't make it True. Gotta be careful on his works.
and the mention of him in hindu books
@@tahahussain5708 which book is that
It would be nice to watch a video on the “the seven sleepers” per Judaic narrative and Quranic narrative (ashab al kahf ).
We have a Roman account about that story too.
i have never heard of that!! I will go and search!!
This was beautifully made , I'm really impressed . also appreciate you're objectivity tremendously
Very honestly and well done. Never did the narrator allow his faith to overpower the facts. I have not seen a better historic presentation of this founder before. So thank you
Out of the three videos, I have the most respect for this video as the honesty and effort to be objective could be argued to be more difficult for the creator.
I am not a religious person of any faith, however I love your videos. I love to learn about the historical elements of religions
Came to see the video before the inevitable backlash. You are brave to try to explain this.
I am already nervous. This subject will piss off some people big time.
I love how this channel despite being Islamic but still brave to ask uncomfortable questions.
Always good to see a new video from you, I swear I learn something new with each video! I commend your approach with this subject and your ability to take a objective approach to it.
I hope you have a good day man and keep making these awesome videos!
Talking about the "science" behind the hadith, it's criteria and how it was compiled could be an intresting subject for a video.
@På Luffen those are called Quranists and they are borderline not muslims...
@På Luffen how in the world can you follow the sunna without the hadith ? Sunna is exclusively existing in the ahadith.
@På Luffen dude, I don't know what crazy muslim friends you have but there is no sunni muslim who will tell you that ahadith are fake. Plus I don't know of any historien who claims that the last prophet didn't exist, this is even worse than flat earth conspiracy theorists...
@På Luffen and just to clarify since you seem to be confused but any one who reject all the ahadith are Quranist by definition, anybody who follow the ahadith are sunni by definition. Unless you belong to a specific sect that have a different methodology in filtering ahadith (theological one and not historical) like shiaa.
Edit: spelling.
@På Luffen yes and there is hundreds of books filled with them. But there is also authentic ahadith. And yes I’m sunni.
I loled at the "any other created M words"
*creative
This fellow maybe the product of freemason agent do you not realise there are 5 attempt to stole the prophet body in madinah during the middle ages and why done you tried to steal the body and made an examination???
I came across this channel after watching the Sana'a Manuscript video and have enjoyed your informative videos.
All I have to say is you don't have to qualify about giving historical information by pronouncing that you are approaching the topic in a "secular" or "liberal" manner. After all critical thinking is a very large part of why Islamic empires produced so much work on philosophy and logic.
Wow great video! You did a really good job presenting the evidence in an unbiased way and I learned a lot. Thanks!
I enjoyed your intro, your video, and this collaboration. Thank you for the quality information. I highly appreciate your goal of being objective, as well as that same goal by the other two contributors. Excellent work to you three.
Thanks for the history lesson. Appreciate your knowledge of the historical literature and impartiality.
Really love your videos, Al Muqaddimah. Thanks man.
One thing I love about this faith is that it accepts the idea that many prophets existed, and not just one. I learned that from this channel. As a student of Hermeticism and Alchemy, I really appreciate that.
From a historical perspective, and through a Hermetic lense, one must admit that the prophets Muhammad, Moses, Solomon, Imhotep(Thoth/Hermes), and Jesus were, at the *least,* magicians/alchemists/masters of the Craft. I'm super excited to learn more!
thanks for doing these videos. these have been tremendously informative to me, as a catholic-raised american who was fed a lot of total bullshit about Islam as a kid
Peace and blessings of Allah on beloved prophet Mohammed
Not religious myself but I find religions and the different belief systems they have very interesting. In particular I’ve been diving a bit into learning about Islam lately since, as an American, it’s not something we really learn about in depth. Excellent work!
great!any questions on islam inbox me ,will definitely help you understand
U can read Qur'an And hadith translation on online
There needs to be more people like you. More people secure enough in their faith in the religion, that they do not avoid from asking these questions. Great video!
There's no bad thing in asking questions, but he lies. He lied about the Hadith and he didn't even mention the findings of Mohammad Hamidullah en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Hamidullah
He is an highly respected person in France. I think he was an professor in some French University. He found many manuscripts of early Islamic works which were thought to be lost ( Im pretty sure works of Ibn Ishaq were also there)

A most interesting video about a most interesting person. Thank you!
I enjoyed the implication in the intro that someone who was alive during the time of Muhammad might still be alive today!
Indeed, it's all a lot more enjoyable if we embrace the fantasy.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ بَارَكَ اللهُ فِيْكُم
One of the most interesting 7th century accounts about Prophet Muhammad comes from Sebeos who was a Bishop of the House of Bagratunis.
Sebeos is the first non-Muslim author to present us with a theory for the rise of Islam that pays attention to what the Muslims themselves thought they were doing:
*At that time a certain man from along those same sons of Ishmael, whose name was Mụhammad, a merchant, as if by God's command appeared to them as a preacher and the path of truth. He taught them to recognize the God of Abraham, especially because he was learnt and informed in the history of Moses. Now because the command was from on high, at a single order they all came together in unity of religion. Abandoning their vain cults, they turned to the living God who had appeared to their father Abraham. So, Muhammad legislated for them: not to eat carrion, not to drink wine, not to speak falsely, and not to engage in fornication. He said: 'With an oath God promised this land to Abraham and his seed after him for ever. And he brought about as he promised during that time while he loved Israel. But now you are the sons of Abraham and God is accomplishing his promise to Abraham and his seed for you. Love sincerely only the God of Abraham, and go and seize the land which God gave to your father Abraham. No one will be able to resist you in battle, because God is with you.*
*- R. G. Hoyland, Seeing Islam As Others Saw It: A Survey And Evaluation Of Christian, Jewish And Zoroastrian Writings On Early Islam, 1997, p. 129*
We can see that Sebeos knows plenty of personal information about Prophet Muhammad. For example, he is aware that Muhammad was a merchant by profession before his Prophethood. He hints that his life was suddenly changed by a divinely inspired revelation.
He presents a good summary of Prophet Muhammad's preaching i.e belief in One God and Abraham as a common ancestor of Jews and Arabs. He even picks out some of the prohibitions which are mentioned in the Qur'an, such as false speech and drinking of alcohol.
All this information that Sebeos presents accurately conforms to the Islamic traditions. Many take such detailed, early and accurate accounts about Prophet Muhammad for granted but it's actually quite rare with figures from ancient history.
Are you historian?
so this proves the existence of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him from even a non Muslim side
@@muhammadhussain5854 do Muslims not say Muhammed could not read? This source says he was a learned man.
@@markorbit4752 well we believe he learned this from god
@@maganhassan2627 could he read or not? I don't care how he learned to read. I just want to know if he could read or not
Finally your back with a video after 2 months😁
Ayesha tells us in two explicit hadiths, one through al Bukhari, and one through Al Muslim, that Muhamad was having sex with her when she was SIX; (Bukhari tells us she was still playing with dolls!); and these facts are confirmed by ALL of Muhamad's other early chroniclers; At Tabari; Sunan Dawood, Abu Hisham, Abu Hishag, and all the others! How many other little girls he raped, we will never know, but we do know by HIS OWN RULING, he and his followers had free access to all the females they'd enslaved, age unspecified! (And his followers left enough documented instances also of his interests in other little girls, for us to be quite sure his paedophilia did not stop at Ayesha!). So, was Muhamad a man you would trust near YOUR little girl? When a man in his fifties is having sex with a child of six, RAPE is the only possible word for it! A man who rapes little girls is SATAN'S messenger, not Allah's, not a holy prophet, just a deeply sick sex criminal. And his followers, what answer will THEY give on judgment day, when Jesus asks them how they could follow a child rapist false prophet! Even today in all the jihadi lands, little girls are forced into under age marriage by men whose mullahs tell them it's fine to do it, because Muhamad did; and in all the Pakistani madrassas the little boys are being regularly raped by their teachers, who get away with it in 99 cases out of a hundred, because the boys come from poor families, and Pakistan is another jihadi state where all sorts of wickedness is done by the muhamadite clergy, and people are afraid to confront them!

Beautiful video! Well done! :-)
ve4ry disrespectful top REAL religions like christianity and judaism
islam is racism, this ideology is the enemy of mankind and Human Rights
I'll tell ya, I've had to watch this video 8 separate times as if you don't listen closely you'll miss the salient parts. This is a highly detailed, condensed summary of the topic! It's respectful. I'm Muslim and I'm telling you, it's done with respect!
Does it make sense that taking only *non-muslim* sources to account and ignoring all Muslim sources? Logically It doesn't to me. Why would I look for references in sources where Muhammad wasn't? It's like trying to find oxygen in Mars when you already know there's no oxygen in Mars. In fact, Muslim souces are most reliable compared to all non-muslim sources as Muslim sources contain rich literature.
I do not think you understand. I will attempt to explain. Suppose you wanted find out if Moses existed. The jews would point to their ancient scrolls and the Torah. Of course they have evidence to present. Moses is a central figure in THEIR religion. So there is built in bias here. But what if you found a clear citing of the name of Moses on an Egyptian tablet or on the wall of an ancient Egyptian tomb that had been sealed for over 4000 years?
Now you have evidence not shrouded in Jewish tradition and religion. This evidence seems more corroborative because it is impartial, not subject to Jewish bias.
That is why evidence of Muhammad OUTSIDE Islam would be more desirable.
Think about it. You are looking for the historical existence not religious. It’s called Bias. Not saying all Muslims would lie or embellish but Muslims are just human after all. Humans cannot be trusted. You need someone who doesn’t care at all if he existed or not, doesn’t matter to them at all, they are reported what they saw. It’s easy to understand. Would you believe a Christian writing about Christ Jesus or a non Christian writing about Jesus more. I would. Same with any historical figure like kings and pharaohs.
You have to keep in mind these people are enemies of Allah
True...
The idea is that non-Muslim sources would not be biased in favour the way that Muslim sources would. So if you have a non-Muslim source saying one thing, and a Muslim source says the same thing or doesn't contradict it, we can assume it's true to a standard that would satisfy non-Muslims too.
Thank you for presenting a secular unbiased analysis.
I'm a Muslim from Indonesia and I aware the non-Muslim sources who hinted Muhammad was still alive when Palestine was conquered. I really appreciate that you mentioned them.

Dear Muqaddimah, thank you for your wonderful video. I have one comments hope you can remake this video to include the works of Ahmad Al-Jallad. As the discovery of writings on stones in safaic writings and also early arabic writings. It would make this video much more interesting as it may can compliment approach of this video which depends on the work of Robert Hoyland.
Regards
The moment you revealed your potential bias was the moment my bullshit meter was disarmed; thank you for transparency, as it does immediately afford you authority in the knowledge of your subject, both from your adherence from within the faith, and from your desire to teach the faith's past objectively without letting theology blend into your historiography; i hope others agree this was a fantastic video to teach some of the Prophet (pbuh) 101.
As an atheist I think he did an excellent job. He accurately represented the historical accounts from a critical, non-Muslim perspective.
He ignored literally letters of muhammed pbuh sent to the emperor of Byzantine, abisinia and Persia. we also got his tomb
Dawg you just got a new subscriber🐐
*Edit* Do a video on Shihab al-din (muhammad ghori)
Good video from a neutral view. I would suggest to watch some videos on existance of the prophet by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf who will add and clarify some of your points. Peace brother.
I too recommend him 🤗as well as Dr Umar faruq Abdallah and Asrar Rashid experts in the field of hadith or Creed.. But inshaAllah I think they have Great intentions on video made as well one on nabi Esa Alaysalaam... Cause end days near and All faiths have different opinions or beliefs with sects In there respective religions
Can you paste the link to the video please?

Musannaf of Ibn Jurayj was written before 150H (8th century) and the hadiths it contains are also in Musannaf of Abd al-Razzaq which was written before 211H
