I have read many comments made by some defending Islam here and I see people who think their faith must remain unchecked. If I were them, I would take every point raised by Dan Gibson and research it and gun for truthful conclusions, because God doesn't lie, doesn't support lies, neither does He work magic to back up beliefs.
That's true. Altough tbh, if one reads the Qur'an, especially 9:28, it doesn't seem as if we lose anything with this. I think Petra being the place the Prophet was sent to warn actually is evidence for the Qur'an being from God. Because they were destroyed for denying it, that is why Petra today is desolate. The same happened with Jesus and the 2nd temple. This is the procedure of God, and it does not change. Every time the majority reject a messenger from among themselves, he rescues the believers and destroys the deniers. So again, this to me is good, praise be to God. What sectarians do now, is their own thing. I take Qur'an alone for guideance, they got an issue with that because they take Persian made books also for religion, often superceding the Qur'an. I recommend you the channel of Sam Gerrans on this. We believe that we are like Unitarian Christians and Karaite J3ws... Of course God knows best, and he named us submitting, or of those in peace with him. So i like to call myself what God called us. Salutations.
Religion is a dangerous thing because it has to do with personal faith mostly. It is like an idea that must be defended at all costs for most people. Few people humbly ask God for guidance on how to really serve Him or relate with Him, they depend on someone else's revelation and relationship to serve God.
@@Gabriel-ServantOfGod Aha! See. _Submission_ didn't lose it's paganism, despite Mr. Caveman's blotched efforts in abrogating it. Submitters still worship a black rock IDOL and the Moon God, father of Al-lat, Al-uzza (both named after their Father) and Manat. FYI Unitarians believe in Peace and Progress . . . NOT Violence and Voodoo.
I think this is a pretty strong case as the description of "Mecca" in the Quran was baffling given the state of it now and having no archeological record prior to Islam. "Mecca" is described as being: -In a Valley, with mountains overlooking the Kaa'ba -With a stream (not a well, actual running water) -With fields, trees, fruit, and loam -A center of trade Mecca is a desert wasteland and as shown in this documentary, has no archeological or botanical history. There isn't even a dried out stream bed to show for. Looking over the Qiblas myself, I think this is a pretty strong case for Petra being the original place of worship.
Sam Gerrans also adopts this position, based on his work on the Qur'an, which i must say must have taken his a lot of time. And especially with the God protocol, the fact that God destroys the people when they deny a messenger from among themselves. The fact that Petra was destroyed is evidence precisely to the strength of the Qur'an as its claim of being a revelation from God. Which is funny since many Christians don't see this... and think somehow this proves their sect lol... Well, scripture always said it, believers are few, and Trinitarians and Sunnis are the majority... 2+2=4
@@Gabriel-ServantOfGod Yeah the Submitter-Groveler-TETRADIANS . . . *Qur'an 53:19-21* "Have you considered al-Lat and al-‘Uzza? And Manat, the third one, the other? Are you to have the males, and He the females?"
@@Gabriel-ServantOfGod The Qur’an describes Mecca as a non-agricultural area Our Lord, indeed I have settled some of my descendants in an uncultivated valley near Your sacred House, our Lord, that they may establish prayer. So fill hearts among the people with inclination toward them and provide for them from the fruits that they may be grateful. (37)
@@Vllili That's a good point. Altough be aware that Dan Gibson took also support of the collections of ahadith describing the place as cultivated... I don't use this but just take it into consideration. I do want to know the truth, although i don't see this as essential for salvation for other issues. Mainly the fact that we are confirmed that the direction, even if one was to imagine it referred to what people understand today (i don't, i think it meant a place to head forward to from wherever you are, and gather there which makes much more sense and also explains the "make your homes qibla" that Musa alaihi salam was told to tell to the children of Israel in Egypt) For your information, some suggest the true belly of Makkah and Bakkah were actually on the south, although i haven't checked the evidences for that yet. God knows best tbh, may he guide us to the correct understanding. رَّبَّنَآ إِنِّىٓ أَسْكَنتُ مِن ذُرِّيَّتِى بِوَادٍ غَيْرِ ذِى زَرْعٍ عِندَ بَيْتِكَ ٱلْمُحَرَّمِ رَبَّنَا لِيُقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ فَٱجْعَلْ أَفْـِٔدَةً مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ تَهْوِىٓ إِلَيْهِمْ وَٱرْزُقْهُم مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْكُرُونَ “Our Lord: I have settled some of my progeny in an uncultivated valley by Thy inviolable house, our Lord, that they uphold the duty/adherence; so make Thou hearts among men incline towards them, and provide Thou them some fruits, that they might be grateful.

I watched this presentation some time ago and it reminded me of a book by Sr Richard Burton, an Englishman, written in the 1800s. He was fluent in Arabic and studied Islam. He impersonated a Muslim and made the pilgrimage to mecca. He noted that the geography of mecca in the Koran didn't correspond in any way to that of mecca in Arabia. This would explain why.
People have abandoned the Qur'an. Even tho that was the guidance God revealed, unlike the cannons of narrations made up later on... I say this both to my closer people who claim to believe in the Qur'an, aswell as the ones who don't believe in it. Altough, God knows best who are closer to be believers. Sometimes some religious people are hypocritical, while others may not know better but have purer intention. I was an agnostic, and man when i discovered the Qur'an, i couldn't disbelieve in it. And i got in the Sunni sect, i thought that was the correct thing to do, but now i clearly see that the sects are not following the books. The same which happened to Christians and the Bible happened to the people who claim to follow the Qur'an... In the end of the day, this is a test, to see the people who go against the majority upholding the truth, and i want to be of those. If you are interested, i recommend you the work of Sam Gerrans, he also adopts the Petra thesis and i think he has some excellent work. Salutations from Spain
@owncraticpath The Scriptures are far more reliable than the Quran. Do you realize in the 1st 100 years of Christ's death there was 5000 greek writings. Do you know that these writings were sent to different parts of the world? On top of that these writings were not written in 3rd person and there's no discrepancies of where the stories took place unlike the Quran. So it's impossible that the Bible was rewritten over the years like unbelievers claim because the same Scripture that appeared in Rome were also in Ethiopian, Greece, Egypt, Israel, Syria and have not changed 2000 years later! These places were also too far apart and these churches didn't even get along (or didn't agree with certain practices) to take part in such a conspiracy!!
@@ebozion32 You don't know Biblical history if you claim that lol. You have Matthew change dialogues from Mark, literally changing the whole meaning... You have contradictions in today's version... and you call that reliable? Honestly you guys have no shame. The Qur'an is impecable, all the "issues" are honestly quite few, compared to the Bible we have literally no issues... And this is attested by historians, Van Putten for instance, he gets deep in this, and i remember him being interviewed by a Christian, wanting to find major faults in the Qur'an, and i loved when Van Putten got into Bible and destroyed it, aka, like saying "Yeah you guys are no one to speak about this" Now, as a believer, i don't take happiness in this, i believe in the Gospel, and it would be cool to know 100% something is all the Gospel... The nature of the Gospel tho seems to be complex, as if it has been recorded in many "gospels", so it's scattered... It seems as if the commentery of the writters on the side only make things worst. Since each one has his agenda, and John is the craziests, altough to give it credit, John also has most of my favourite muslim statements made by Jesus, I on my own can do nothing and stuff like that... So, who knows, perhaps it is gospel, it also has the prediction of the holy spirit coming back, and it seems that the Qur'an references this. The good about that is that then it would imply that the spirit of truth, through the Qur'an will "guide you to all truth" as Jesus says... And i think it's fair to say that the Qur'an summarizes all previous scripture and finishes many polemics that both j3wish and christian sects still have today because of their denial of God's revelations... Aka choosing to be blind on purpose. The nature of Jesus for instance... How much money are some channels making by making up stories about Jesus and aliens... LIke you got every kind of narration about him, why? because people don't know. The Qur'an sets Jesus to be who he was, a messenger like other messengers who came before... Boom, thousands of issues solved. The truth is simple. God is one.
@@ebozion32 I mean, you have diverse readings of the Fathers prayers. We have in Al Fatiha also the Maliki and Maaliki. King vs Owner. So i wonder, how do we solve our issues? What I AM against is double standarts. If i criticise your Bible, i want it not to happen to me, and if it does, i want to have a valid excuse. Now, we don't have issues with books. You claim they are preserved? Then why do some churches have 81 books and others 66? Like that is big. We don't have such issues with the Qur'an. The max we have is the Rashad Khalifa thing. In case you want to know. That's the closer you get, 2 verses, whereas whole books some of you deem fabrications and others valid scripture inspired by God.... A quamtum leap from the Qur'an to the Bible if you ask me. Now, on terms of basics, the Qur'an is obviously more clear. In terms of practice, you don't find such incongruencies. On the Bible tho, you got books with literal opposed beliefs... like the ones from Paul and "James" altough they say it's fabricated, which doesn't halp if so... With the Qur'an i know God is one, no doubt, then if i do good God willing i go to paradise. With your Bible, you also get this notion, but a lot of confusing, side kind of stuff like a prophet being martyred (which was not a new thing anyways) now is the most important thing ever.... Something which i can't factcheck, because it happened 2000 years ago... something which is NOT intuitive, AT ALL... Is now my basis of salvation? Please use logic, reason... The Qur'an only calls us to use reason and the intuition God gave us... How can you even compare the two... And sure, part of the Bible is revelation, from God. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about why you prefer a tarnished scripture before the Qur'an which reminds and clarifies it... Isn't it purely arbitrarely, based on your emotions perhaps? Perhaps you should watch these kind of videos but on your own beliefs, i'm sure there are many videos about the real tomb of Christ, and how today's one is chosen arbitrarely... or many other issues... with the same evidence or more... Oh... you don't click those? Scared? Only clicking the ones you like... If i'm mistaken, my apologies, if i'm correct, then i'm not saying this to you in play, rather perhaps this is a reminder which benefits you, that would make me glad if that was to be the case. Otherwise, i win nothing by arguing and you believing or not... God knows best Salutations
The more I listen to Dr. Dan Gibson the more I respect him.He is asking the right questions.He is doing what each one of us ought to do.See, religion was handed down to us and we were not there when these events were taking place.Should we swallow everything that is handed down to us without asking ourselves whether it is true or not?
Muslims dont read they live by hes saying and Thats why they cant ask questions But time is changing and Allah is exposing they lies they did also change menings when they translate Quran and saudi royal has to accept they translated Quran

He even says that the bible is true and to understand the Quran you need to take parts from the bible. Jesus can't possibly be a muslim as he calls the creator 'father' not Allah or God on it's own.

The name "MHMD" translates to "The Praised One" in Arabic. Originally, it was used to refer to Jesus. Early coins from the Arabian Kingdom featured the cross alongside the letter "M," representing "MHMD." Over time, the cross was removed as the rulers began to embrace Nestorian and Ebionite philosophies, which emphasized that Christ was not divine. The Dome of the Rock bears an inscription clearly stating that Jesus is "MHMD," identifying him as a messenger or prophet, rather than God or the Son of God. As the centuries passed, the name "MHMD" evolved into "Mohammed," giving rise to a new narrative about a prophet that has persisted to this day. There was never an individual named Mohammed in human history; rather, his stories are considered to be mere fables.

Great work Mr. Gibson. The preponderance of the evidence favors that the "The Forbidden City" was Petra and that Becca was the original Qibla direction and the Abbasids changed it to Mecca where the Black Rock had been moved to.
@@imfz4444 I just received Dan Gibson's latest book "Let the Stones Speak." It is very well documented. Again I think the preponderance of the archaeology, historical records, the timeline of events and the lack of archeological evidence at Mecca almost conclusively support Dan Gibson's findings. Will it change the minds of many Mohammadans, probably not. But for me I always seek reality above the traditions of men. A good example of this is that the traditional Mt. Sinai is not in the Sinai Peninsula, but is in Median that is today in northwest Saudia Arabia.

Indeed. The same thing with the Trinity also happened, the sects made that up later to cover up the true Gospel. And this is the same with the Qur'an, the sects wanted to cover up its meanings using the "hadiths"... The truth is that God tells us this: لَّيْسَ ٱلْبِرَّ أَن تُوَلُّوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ قِبَلَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلْبِرَّ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّـهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ وَءَاتَى ٱلْمَالَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِۦ ذَوِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَٱلْيَتَـٰمَىٰ وَٱلْمَسَـٰكِينَ وَٱبْنَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَٱلسَّآئِلِينَ وَفِى ٱلرِّقَابِ وَأَقَامَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَى ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَٱلْمُوفُونَ بِعَهْدِهِمْ إِذَا عَـٰهَدُوا۟ وَٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ فِى ٱلْبَأْسَآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ وَحِينَ ٱلْبَأْسِ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا۟ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ It is not virtue that you turn your faces towards the East and the West.

The Bible is the most accurately transmitted book from the ancient world. No other ancient book has as many, as early, or more accurately copied manuscripts. Old Testament >>Old Testament manuscript reliability is based on three factors: their abundance, dating, and accuracy. Most works from antiquity survive on only a handful of manuscripts: only 7 for Plato, 8 for Thucydides, 8 for Herodotus, 10 for Caesar’s Gallic Wars, and 20 for Tacitus. Only the works of Demosthenes and Homer number into the hundreds. Yet even before 1890 a scholar named Giovanni de Rossi published 731 OT manuscripts. Since that time some 10,000 OT manuscripts were found in the Cairo Geniza, and in 1947 the Dead Sea caves at Qumran produced over 600 OT manuscripts. Further, the Dead Sea Scrolls, containing at least fragments of all OT books except Esther, all date from before the end of the first century A.D. and some to the third century B.C. The Nash Papyrus is dated between the second century B.C. and the first century A.D.The manuscripts’ accuracy is known from internal and external evidence. (1) It is well known that Jewish scribal reverence for Scripture led to its careful transmission. (2) Examination of duplicate passages (e.g., Pss 14 and 53) show parallel transmission. (3) The early Greek translation of the OT, the Septuagint, substantially agrees with the Hebrew manuscripts. (4) Comparison of the Samaritan Pentateuch with the same biblical books preserved within the Jewish tradition shows close similarity. (5) The Dead Sea Scrolls provide manuscripts dating a thousand years earlier than most used to establish the Hebrew text. Comparative studies reveal word-for-word identity in 95 percent of the text. Minor variants consist mostly of slips of the pen or spelling. Only 13 small changes were discovered in the entire Dead Sea Scrolls copy of Isaiah, eight of which were known from other-ancient sources. After 1,000 years of copying, there were no changes in meaning and almost no changes in wording! >>New Testament >>> The reliability of the NT is established because the number, date, and accuracy of its manuscripts enable reconstruction of the original text with more precision than any other ancient text. The number of NT manuscripts is overwhelming (almost 5,700 Greek manuscripts) compared with the typical book from antiquity (about 7 to 10 manuscripts; Homer’s Iliad has the most at 643 manuscripts). The NT is simply the best textually supported book from the ancient world. The earliest undisputed NT manuscript is the John Rylands Papyrus, dated between A.D. 117 and 138. Whole books (e.g., those contained in the Bodmer Papyri) are available from around the year 200. And most of the NT, including all the Gospels, is available in the Chester Beatty Papyri manuscripts, dating to about 250.

Mr. Gibson. is a courageous man to whom l am in debt to his contribution to the spirit of Mohammed, It is Such a challenge for Muslims to be conscious of awareness of their faith and its origin. no longer can we be just followers without personal awareness. choice in taking these facts and reconsidering the direction of prayer is present to all Muslims. the black stone gives you that blackness, nothingness, whereas in Petraa, one has the cave the angle. light and illumination, thank you Dan
Don’t you wonder why your faith leaders have been hiding this from you? I recommend including secular sources into one’s historical understanding of their religion, bc they lack the bias religious sources are rigidly defined by; so secular sources are the best ways to learn about which aspects/facts are supported by evidence from science, arts, archaeology, literature/texts, etc.; and what things are simply claimed, & not facts… bc there’s no proof? Actually, there’s alot of contra- indications for things stated in the Quran, & long believed by Muslims re: early Islam… which more reliable & trustworthy, validated, sources disprove or suggest are highly doubtful. Sad to see Islamic leaders ignore issues in Islam history, & more willing to indoctrinate followers than promote critical thinking & thorough comprehension of the text & ancient culture… rather than memorization & rigid judgmental rules for modern life. In a book w/ SO many outrageously false statements about the Bible, Jesus, & Judaism/Christianity (which followers are unaware of), as well as an invented, edited, AND covered-up early history of its own origin/past (which adherents are ALSo unaware of), and violent, hatefilled language… as well as weird, deviant, disgusting sexual practices which were created by Mohammed for his own self interests & the later caliphs changed to hell theirs… as they don’t align with the few ancient texts that describe the daily life of oldest followers of Mohammed- which has lead to horrific implications in today’s world- and ppl think their god is judgmental & suggests they carry out violence & mistreatment of his “chosen” ppl (which is completely irrational) and has subjugated & ruined/tormented lives of many faithful Muslims today… all bc of the corruption of earliest caliphs trying to make a nee state. It’s sick. Ppl should know what they believe & haha e their questions answered… not be tricked & “convinced” or manipulated to believe something is translated to day a barely different word, & the most “easy to understand book in the world” requires SOOO much nuance & knowledge? Really?! NO. ITS BC THE BOOK ISNT CLEAR, nor was it written by Mohammed or anyone in his close circle. PLEASE Muslims- look at secular sources to confirm answers, & use ur critical thinking Bc Islam doesn’t hint at being truthful, just a man’s attempt to get rich & get his kinks fulfilled. God should be Love & Peace. IMO. Read the New Testament. ❤️

Thank you Mr. Gibson! Praying to the black rock is called idol worship! But they deny it! Blinded by satan! 😢I have been following Dr. Jay Smith, Al Fadi and Lloyd de Jong! ❤
Sure. Thank God the Qur'an never orders us to kiss any black stone. It literally doesn't. And also what Christians do is idol worship, when they pray to Jesus, it's not direfent to kissing the black rock for blessings from God. Both are wrong. Why? Because idol worship is worshiping the material as God, both flesh and rock are material, and Jesus is Spirit and Flesh, while God in only Spirit... Thus worshiping Jesus is idol worship. Satan is indeed an enemy to us all... and the Trinitarians are blinded by Satan just as the Rabbis who also lie about God, and the Sheikhs who do as the Rabbis... This is because Satan only has power over the people who disobey God... I try to obey God, and the Qur'an is indeed guidance. لَّيْسَ ٱلْبِرَّ أَن تُوَلُّوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ قِبَلَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلْبِرَّ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّـهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ وَءَاتَى ٱلْمَالَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِۦ ذَوِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَٱلْيَتَـٰمَىٰ وَٱلْمَسَـٰكِينَ وَٱبْنَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَٱلسَّآئِلِينَ وَفِى ٱلرِّقَابِ وَأَقَامَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَى ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَٱلْمُوفُونَ بِعَهْدِهِمْ إِذَا عَـٰهَدُوا۟ وَٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ فِى ٱلْبَأْسَآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ وَحِينَ ٱلْبَأْسِ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا۟ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ It is not virtue that you turn your faces towards the East and the West.

@guerillagardener2237 Because Israel belongs to the Jews. Amos 9:14-15 Exodus 32:13 Psalm 105:8-11 Joshua 1:1-4 Romans 9:4 Genesis 13:14-16 And not to the Arabs. Genesis 21:8-13 Nehemiah 2:17-20
There are 66 books in the (Protestant) Bible, but 73 in the Roman Catholic one. Which bible are you talking about? And which book of the Bible is "scientifically true"? Jonah? Genesis? Exodus? Revelation?
Mecca is just a Saudi religious "Disneyland. The money they have lavished on this site is on par with what the Vatican spent on itself in the 16th century.
If you can find a book from about 2000 called The Temples that Jerusalem Forgot, by Ernest L. Martin, HUGE book showing the True Temple Location 600 to the South of the DotR, which was the Roman Fort Antonia, not the Temple Mount. This fascinating Video reminds me of that book.
Any big and thriving city is a part of some kingdom which ensures its stability and law and order. There is ever no mention of any kingdom that Mecca was a part of.
The Qur’an describes Mecca as a non-agricultural area Our Lord, indeed I have settled some of my descendants in an uncultivated valley near Your sacred House, our Lord, that they may establish prayer. So fill hearts among the people with inclination toward them and provide for them from the fruits that they may be grateful. (37)
@@Vllili Dear Villi, I meant that Petra makes more sense to be the origin of the muslim religion and not Meca. According to the scientific studies Petra makes more sense to be the origin of Muslim and not Mecca because in Mecca it has a dessert and no settlements of people have beed detected for hundreds of year.
But 1 Question still remains unanswered by Dr. Gibson, afterall why abbasid changed Qibla direction to Mecca at all. What is kabba' importance before era of muhhommad if he lived in petra the becca? What was there in mecca when muhommad was preaching islam in petra?
My question would be, what is our understanding of Petra now, Islam seems to be connected to it? More evidence needed from Petra, basically looking at all archeological evidence once again, differently, from now on!
@@barbarycorsair8473 I find the evidence quite compelling because it fits with early Koranic texts. However records of Petra are quite sparse so it won't be easy. Perhaps in a few years we will learn more.
@@clivemarriott7749 Despite the compelling truths presented by Dr. Dan Gibson, many Muslims still refuse to believe, even though they can't refute his arguments. It's very disheartening.
In 2017, historian David A. King authored a highly critical review of Gibson's Early Islamic Qiblas in which he cites plagiarism, misconstruction and misunderstanding of his 1990 work on Qibla direction.[2][3] King also published a systematic review in 2018 entitled "The Petra fallacy - Early mosques do face the Sacred Kaaba in Mecca but Dan Gibson doesn't know how / Comparing historical orientations with modern directions can lead to false results".[4] King argued that early Muslim Arabs were unable to precisely establish Qiblas when building new mosques until later mathematical developments made precision possible.[1] Further, King wrote, many variations in orientation are better accounted for by regional and local practices, imperfect geography, and folk astronomy. King noted Gibson's inadequate grasp of mathematics, citing Gibson's "spherical polygons" (p. 170) as inexplicable. King summarized his analysis of Gibson's work as an "amateurish, non-scholarly document that is both offensive to Muslims and also an insult to Muslim and Western scholarship."[1] Gibson placed a response to King on academia.edu, "Dr. King on the other hand is convinced that the sloppy qiblas actually intended to point: east, west, solstices, sunrises and so forth. I have not come across anything in Islamic religious manuscripts that support these Qiblas. But perhaps in time someone, somewhere will stumble across something that will change our understanding of Qiblas. All I have found so far, is that every Muslim expects the Qibla to point to Masjid Al Harām."[5]
Islamic scholars and historians argue that "Becca" mentioned in the Quran (Surah 3:96) may refer to the same location. The Quran states that the first house of worship established for humanity was at Becca. In the Bible, there is a reference to a place called "Baca" in Psalm 84:6: "As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs." Some Islamic scholars propose that "Baca" could be linked to "Becca" and thus to the modern city of Mecca.
Plenty of people questioned that Mecca is the holy city of Islam. Gibson says: "No one has ever questioned that Mecca is the holy city of Islam." but others have questioned it, and ex-muslims have even paid with their lives for pointing out the obvious. Outside the lands where pointing out the obvious could get you killed, imprisoned or put in an insane asylum, many academics have shown that the, to quote a term, "standard narrative has holes in it " As Gibson says many have recognised that the landscape in the Qur'an,does not agree at all with what you find in Mecca today. People have looked for Mecca on ancient maps in all nearby civilisations, and looked into other documents from the time and Mecca is not there. Apart from stories only written (down) about 200 years after the supposed death of the character "Muhammad " by Muslims and their rulers, there is really nothing that links any of the 37 Arabic Qur'ans with what is called Mecca today. The earliest manuscripts of Qur'ans show that it was written without vowels and other diacritics so there was no Muhammad as Muslims want to claim. What you have is a bunch of consonants mhmd that would most likely be Mahmood or rather mahmed with no vowels needed between the h and the second m. This was not a name but a the title of the Praiseworthy One. That title had been given to Jesus as far back as the Book of Revelation. The Qur'an as it stands today says that it is supposed to be in pure Arabic but it really contains dozens of words from Amharic, Hebrew and Greek etc. So it is actually unlikely that modern translators etc knowing only Arabic really even understand the foreign words in the Qur'ans. So we find contradictions in the whole thing. There are verses in the Qur'ans that say that it is a "clear book ", but these are contradicted by other verses saying that the Qur'ans contain birth clear and *unclear* verses and now experts admitting that only Allah (if he exists) knows what the Qur'ans are supposed to mean in many verses. So people have now looked at these verses and compared them with Syriac Aramaic and concluded that that is the true language of the original Qur'an and that it actually didn't have anything to do with what is called Mecca today. It, the Qur'an itself, is from the north where that dialect of Syriac Aramaic was written and later recited.
A Gulf War 1990-1991 Veteran, a platoon Sergeant, thought that he was doing the right thing, but being a PBI (poor bloody infantry) tried to do the right thing but screwed up. I was also a veteran, and we became good friends. He came to an Iraqi position and advanced cautiously. They hadn't come under fire and wanted to give them every opportunity to surrender and not take life unless absolutely necessary, but was responsible for the troops under his command. He fired some warning shots to see if enemy fire would be returned or a white flag would be raised. The enemy position had been taken out by an air strike. Trying to be respectful, he used his compass and buried the dead with dignity, pointing East, trying to do the right thing. He told me of this event about 6 years after the war. I said, "Trust an infantier, pointed out where he was on the Battlefield then the location of Mecca, good intention, but you laid them the wrong way.".....
What you are talking about is actually interesting but at the same time it makes me shocked lol. I am curious about the city of Medina which became the place of migration of the Prophet Muhammad... Does that mean it wasn't where we know it? 🤔
It is likely that Medina would’ve been the next ‘Mecca’, and then the current day Mecca would’ve been created to fulfill the idea of a holy city as there was no previous civilisation there to counter historic claims. Medina has a lot more historical sources because it was within the incense caravan route, and there were multiple Jewish tribes that lived there before pre-Islam. For whatever reason, whether by political reasons or a change of caravan route due to Petra losing its position to Syria and the resulting earthquakes a couple centuries before Mohammed’s alleged birth, Medina would’ve been an ideal trade centre to migrate to

@@Gabriel-ServantOfGod The point is if the religion is strong it should not worry about being questioned! Dan has provided a mountain of evidence and you just can't sweep it all aside as mere assumptions!
We are now way past this in terms of knowledge. We know that Muhammad never lived and that Islam started as a Christian heresy. They were opposed to the belief of a trinitarian God.
Meca has thousands of years of poetry and debate...it was a place for a gathering... Remember to distinguish between metaphor and materia. Without this you go no where
Mecca or muhammed never excisted in or before the 7th century islam came within the 8th 9th 10th 11th centurys without history islam goes now where 😂😂😂
All the poetry has been debunked by Taha Hussien and the studies of poetry criticism. It was all fabricated during the Abbasids times when this book became islam. All the interpretations and Hadtih Bukhari and Muslims were generated by the Abbasids, there is zero evidence of the Islam that we know today before the Abbasids
Religion organised society via custom, law, cohesion. Hence good to believe & accept. I see Islam as a power base for political power. I read that Muhammad as a messenger of god, could allocate heavenly positions (so did Christian clergy at one stage). Islam claims destiny of world dominance, which is the reason it builds over the top of other faiths sacred sites - converted Hagia Christian church Constantinople, to Istanbul mosque; Israel sacred sites to Islamic sacred sites etc. Islam known as militants religion accepted jihad as Devine inspiration to take control.
What an effort Mr.Gibson have done a research on muslim history. He should did the same to the core believe of christians. Suggested topic is: How Jesus transforms from human to god.

I think it's quite possible that current Mecca is an invented city to some extent. However, I am not convinced that Petra was the original Mecca. Petra was well inside the sphere of Roman/Byzantine Christianity, as it was conquered by the Romans in 106 AD. The bishop of Petra in fact attended the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD. I find it hard to believe that all the events of early Islam were actually happening in Petra and it somehow went unnoticed by Roman historians. The Quraysh were controlling Petra? Petra went to war with Medina? There's zero archaeological evidence for any of this. Also, the Arabic spoken in Petra was not at all like the Arabic we find in the Quran.
Nice video, Some scholars says Quran's language is closelt related with Syrian Arabic, adds value to your findings. Many historical events and origins related to Islam was from Syria.
"Our Lord, I have settled some of my descendants in an uncultivated valley near Your sacred House, our Lord, that they may establish prayer." Quran 14:37 "And ˹remember˺ when We assigned to Abraham the site of the House, ˹saying,˺ “Do not associate anything with Me ˹in worship˺ and purify My House for those who circle ˹the Ka’bah˺, stand ˹in prayer˺, and bow and prostrate themselves." Quran 22:27-28 there are loads of verses whic debunk the complete argument and these verses are pesent in literally every single oldest Manuscript during the time of the Prophet s.a.w

I have read many comments made by some defending Islam here and I see people who think their faith must remain unchecked. If I were them, I would take every point raised by Dan Gibson and research it and gun for truthful conclusions, because God doesn't lie, doesn't support lies, neither does He work magic to back up beliefs.
That's true.
Altough tbh, if one reads the Qur'an, especially 9:28, it doesn't seem as if we lose anything with this.
I think Petra being the place the Prophet was sent to warn actually is evidence for the Qur'an being from God.
Because they were destroyed for denying it, that is why Petra today is desolate.
The same happened with Jesus and the 2nd temple.
This is the procedure of God, and it does not change.
Every time the majority reject a messenger from among themselves, he rescues the believers and destroys the deniers.
So again, this to me is good, praise be to God.
What sectarians do now, is their own thing.
I take Qur'an alone for guideance, they got an issue with that because they take Persian made books also for religion, often superceding the Qur'an.
I recommend you the channel of Sam Gerrans on this.
We believe that we are like Unitarian Christians and Karaite J3ws...
Of course God knows best, and he named us submitting, or of those in peace with him.
So i like to call myself what God called us.

Religion is a dangerous thing because it has to do with personal faith mostly. It is like an idea that must be defended at all costs for most people. Few people humbly ask God for guidance on how to really serve Him or relate with Him, they depend on someone else's revelation and relationship to serve God.
God doesn’t lie but Allah can. Allah can’t be god but Satan
As written in the Quran "Bring your proof, if you are truthful.”
@@Gabriel-ServantOfGod Aha! See. _Submission_ didn't lose it's paganism, despite Mr. Caveman's blotched efforts in abrogating it. Submitters still worship a black rock IDOL and the Moon God, father of Al-lat, Al-uzza (both named after their Father) and Manat. FYI Unitarians believe in Peace and Progress . . . NOT Violence and Voodoo.
I think this is a pretty strong case as the description of "Mecca" in the Quran was baffling given the state of it now and having no archeological record prior to Islam. "Mecca" is described as being:
-In a Valley, with mountains overlooking the Kaa'ba
-With a stream (not a well, actual running water)
-With fields, trees, fruit, and loam
-A center of trade
Mecca is a desert wasteland and as shown in this documentary, has no archeological or botanical history. There isn't even a dried out stream bed to show for. Looking over the Qiblas myself, I think this is a pretty strong case for Petra being the original place of worship.
Sam Gerrans also adopts this position, based on his work on the Qur'an, which i must say must have taken his a lot of time.
And especially with the God protocol, the fact that God destroys the people when they deny a messenger from among themselves.
The fact that Petra was destroyed is evidence precisely to the strength of the Qur'an as its claim of being a revelation from God.
Which is funny since many Christians don't see this... and think somehow this proves their sect lol...

I do want to know the truth, although i don't see this as essential for salvation for other issues.
Mainly the fact that we are confirmed that the direction, even if one was to imagine it referred to what people understand today (i don't, i think it meant a place to head forward to from wherever you are, and gather there which makes much more sense and also explains the "make your homes qibla" that Musa alaihi salam was told to tell to the children of Israel in Egypt)

I watched this presentation some time ago and it reminded me of a book by Sr Richard Burton, an Englishman, written in the 1800s. He was fluent in Arabic and studied Islam. He impersonated a Muslim and made the pilgrimage to mecca. He noted that the geography of mecca in the Koran didn't correspond in any way to that of mecca in Arabia. This would explain why.
People have abandoned the Qur'an.
Even tho that was the guidance God revealed, unlike the cannons of narrations made up later on...
I say this both to my closer people who claim to believe in the Qur'an, aswell as the ones who don't believe in it.
Altough, God knows best who are closer to be believers.
Sometimes some religious people are hypocritical, while others may not know better but have purer intention.
I was an agnostic, and man when i discovered the Qur'an, i couldn't disbelieve in it.
And i got in the Sunni sect, i thought that was the correct thing to do, but now i clearly see that the sects are not following the books.
The same which happened to Christians and the Bible happened to the people who claim to follow the Qur'an...
In the end of the day, this is a test, to see the people who go against the majority upholding the truth, and i want to be of those.
If you are interested, i recommend you the work of Sam Gerrans, he also adopts the Petra thesis and i think he has some excellent work.

@owncraticpath The Scriptures are far more reliable than the Quran. Do you realize in the 1st 100 years of Christ's death there was 5000 greek writings. Do you know that these writings were sent to different parts of the world? On top of that these writings were not written in 3rd person and there's no discrepancies of where the stories took place unlike the Quran. So it's impossible that the Bible was rewritten over the years like unbelievers claim because the same Scripture that appeared in Rome were also in Ethiopian, Greece, Egypt, Israel, Syria and have not changed 2000 years later! These places were also too far apart and these churches didn't even get along (or didn't agree with certain practices) to take part in such a conspiracy!!
@@ebozion32 You don't know Biblical history if you claim that lol.
You have Matthew change dialogues from Mark, literally changing the whole meaning...
You have contradictions in today's version... and you call that reliable?
Honestly you guys have no shame.
The Qur'an is impecable, all the "issues" are honestly quite few, compared to the Bible we have literally no issues...
And this is attested by historians, Van Putten for instance, he gets deep in this, and i remember him being interviewed by a Christian, wanting to find major faults in the Qur'an, and i loved when Van Putten got into Bible and destroyed it, aka, like saying "Yeah you guys are no one to speak about this"
Now, as a believer, i don't take happiness in this, i believe in the Gospel, and it would be cool to know 100% something is all the Gospel...
The nature of the Gospel tho seems to be complex, as if it has been recorded in many "gospels", so it's scattered...
It seems as if the commentery of the writters on the side only make things worst.
Since each one has his agenda, and John is the craziests, altough to give it credit, John also has most of my favourite muslim statements made by Jesus, I on my own can do nothing and stuff like that...
So, who knows, perhaps it is gospel, it also has the prediction of the holy spirit coming back, and it seems that the Qur'an references this.
The good about that is that then it would imply that the spirit of truth, through the Qur'an will "guide you to all truth" as Jesus says...
And i think it's fair to say that the Qur'an summarizes all previous scripture and finishes many polemics that both j3wish and christian sects still have today because of their denial of God's revelations...
Aka choosing to be blind on purpose.
The nature of Jesus for instance...
How much money are some channels making by making up stories about Jesus and aliens...
LIke you got every kind of narration about him, why? because people don't know.

In case you want to know.
That's the closer you get, 2 verses, whereas whole books some of you deem fabrications and others valid scripture inspired by God....
A quamtum leap from the Qur'an to the Bible if you ask me.
Now, on terms of basics, the Qur'an is obviously more clear.
In terms of practice, you don't find such incongruencies.
On the Bible tho, you got books with literal opposed beliefs... like the ones from Paul and "James" altough they say it's fabricated, which doesn't halp if so...
With the Qur'an i know God is one, no doubt, then if i do good God willing i go to paradise.
With your Bible, you also get this notion, but a lot of confusing, side kind of stuff like a prophet being martyred (which was not a new thing anyways) now is the most important thing ever....
Something which i can't factcheck, because it happened 2000 years ago... something which is NOT intuitive, AT ALL...
Is now my basis of salvation?
Please use logic, reason...
The Qur'an only calls us to use reason and the intuition God gave us...
How can you even compare the two...
And sure, part of the Bible is revelation, from God.
I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about why you prefer a tarnished scripture before the Qur'an which reminds and clarifies it...
Isn't it purely arbitrarely, based on your emotions perhaps?
Perhaps you should watch these kind of videos but on your own beliefs, i'm sure there are many videos about the real tomb of Christ, and how today's one is chosen arbitrarely... or many other issues... with the same evidence or more...

If i'm mistaken, my apologies, if i'm correct, then i'm not saying this to you in play, rather perhaps this is a reminder which benefits you, that would make me glad if that was to be the case.

@kasel55, the "amateur" can read, write, and do research. He presents compelling evidence. In the study of dinosaurs, the "amateur" Ray Sanford is a top self-taught intellectual. Innovative thought comes from independent scholars. Their ideas are often laughed at by established inteligentsia who blocked their ideas like they did with heliocentrism, germ theory, plate tectonics.... Evidence is what Dan Brown is presenting. You, too, can refute his arguments. Write your paper.
Your suspicious about Qiblah is not correct as it was diverted during Profit Mohamed prayer in Madinah city by God orders not by Profit will, that is the truth

The name "MHMD" translates to "The Praised One" in Arabic. Originally, it was used to refer to Jesus. Early coins from the Arabian Kingdom featured the cross alongside the letter "M," representing "MHMD." Over time, the cross was removed as the rulers began to embrace Nestorian and Ebionite philosophies, which emphasized that Christ was not divine.
The Dome of the Rock bears an inscription clearly stating that Jesus is "MHMD," identifying him as a messenger or prophet, rather than God or the Son of God. As the centuries passed, the name "MHMD" evolved into "Mohammed," giving rise to a new narrative about a prophet that has persisted to this day. There was never an individual named Mohammed in human history; rather, his stories are considered to be mere fables.

Great work Mr. Gibson. The preponderance of the evidence favors that the "The Forbidden City" was Petra and that Becca was the original Qibla direction and the Abbasids changed it to Mecca where the Black Rock had been moved to.

I just received Dan Gibson's latest book "Let the Stones Speak." It is very well documented. Again I think the preponderance of the archaeology, historical records, the timeline of events and the lack of archeological evidence at Mecca almost conclusively support Dan Gibson's findings. Will it change the minds of many Mohammadans, probably not. But for me I always seek reality above the traditions of men. A good example of this is that the traditional Mt. Sinai is not in the Sinai Peninsula, but is in Median that is today in northwest Saudia Arabia.

Pictures of the arabs dipict them as dark like a somali at the early stages, but after umayads, they look turkish.. am i the only one seeing that.
Saracens umayyads and moors were described as dark skinned but after the umayyads you had the abbassid which were white persians that took over the caliphate and later you had the turks which ruled until today, thats why we see only the white ones today in middle east because they invaded and corrupted the history through their fake hadith and tafsir written by persians
Probably. Because almost whole middle east is a result of s£x slavery during islamic rule over different regions of africa and asia.

The Bible is the most accurately transmitted book from the ancient world. No other ancient book has as many, as early, or more accurately copied manuscripts. Old Testament >>Old Testament manuscript reliability is based on three factors: their abundance, dating, and accuracy. Most works from antiquity survive on only a handful of manuscripts: only 7 for Plato, 8 for Thucydides, 8 for Herodotus, 10 for Caesar’s Gallic Wars, and 20 for Tacitus. Only the works of Demosthenes and Homer number into the hundreds. Yet even before 1890 a scholar named Giovanni de Rossi published 731 OT manuscripts. Since that time some 10,000 OT manuscripts were found in the Cairo Geniza, and in 1947 the Dead Sea caves at Qumran produced over 600 OT manuscripts. Further, the Dead Sea Scrolls, containing at least fragments of all OT books except Esther, all date from before the end of the first century A.D. and some to the third century B.C. The Nash Papyrus is dated between the second century B.C. and the first century A.D.The manuscripts’ accuracy is known from internal and external evidence. (1) It is well known that Jewish scribal reverence for Scripture led to its careful transmission. (2) Examination of duplicate passages (e.g., Pss 14 and 53) show parallel transmission. (3) The early Greek translation of the OT, the Septuagint, substantially agrees with the Hebrew manuscripts. (4) Comparison of the Samaritan Pentateuch with the same biblical books preserved within the Jewish tradition shows close similarity. (5) The Dead Sea Scrolls provide manuscripts dating a thousand years earlier than most used to establish the Hebrew text. Comparative studies reveal word-for-word identity in 95 percent of the text. Minor variants consist mostly of slips of the pen or spelling. Only 13 small changes were discovered in the entire Dead Sea Scrolls copy of Isaiah, eight of which were known from other-ancient sources. After 1,000 years of copying, there were no changes in meaning and almost no changes in wording! >>New Testament >>> The reliability of the NT is established because the number, date, and accuracy of its manuscripts enable reconstruction of the original text with more precision than any other ancient text. The number of NT manuscripts is overwhelming (almost 5,700 Greek manuscripts) compared with the typical book from antiquity (about 7 to 10 manuscripts; Homer’s Iliad has the most at 643 manuscripts). The NT is simply the best textually supported book from the ancient world. The earliest undisputed NT manuscript is the John Rylands Papyrus, dated between A.D. 117 and 138. Whole books (e.g., those contained in the Bodmer Papyri) are available from around the year 200. And most of the NT, including all the Gospels, is available in the Chester Beatty Papyri manuscripts, dating to about 250.

Don’t you wonder why your faith leaders have been hiding this from you? I recommend including secular sources into one’s historical understanding of their religion, bc they lack the bias religious sources are rigidly defined by; so secular sources are the best ways to learn about which aspects/facts are supported by evidence from science, arts, archaeology, literature/texts, etc.; and what things are simply claimed, & not facts… bc there’s no proof? Actually, there’s alot of contra- indications for things stated in the Quran, & long believed by Muslims re: early Islam… which more reliable & trustworthy, validated, sources disprove or suggest are highly doubtful. Sad to see Islamic leaders ignore issues in Islam history, & more willing to indoctrinate followers than promote critical thinking & thorough comprehension of the text & ancient culture… rather than memorization & rigid judgmental rules for modern life. In a book w/ SO many outrageously false statements about the Bible, Jesus, & Judaism/Christianity (which followers are unaware of), as well as an invented, edited, AND covered-up early history of its own origin/past (which adherents are ALSo unaware of), and violent, hatefilled language… as well as weird, deviant, disgusting sexual practices which were created by Mohammed for his own self interests & the later caliphs changed to hell theirs… as they don’t align with the few ancient texts that describe the daily life of oldest followers of Mohammed- which has lead to horrific implications in today’s world- and ppl think their god is judgmental & suggests they carry out violence & mistreatment of his “chosen” ppl (which is completely irrational) and has subjugated & ruined/tormented lives of many faithful Muslims today… all bc of the corruption of earliest caliphs trying to make a nee state. It’s sick. Ppl should know what they believe & haha e their questions answered… not be tricked & “convinced” or manipulated to believe something is translated to day a barely different word, & the most “easy to understand book in the world” requires SOOO much nuance & knowledge? Really?! NO. ITS BC THE BOOK ISNT CLEAR, nor was it written by Mohammed or anyone in his close circle.
PLEASE Muslims- look at secular sources to confirm answers, & use ur critical thinking Bc Islam doesn’t hint at being truthful, just a man’s attempt to get rich & get his kinks fulfilled. God should be Love & Peace. IMO. Read the New Testament. ❤️

*Qur'an 65:1, 4* "When divorcing women, know their waiting period. For women past the age of menstruation, their waiting period is 3 months - and those who have _NOT_ menstruated yet as well."
*Sahih al-Bukhari vol 7 book 62 number 64:* “Allah's Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) married her when she was 6 years old and he _consummated_ his marriage when she was 9 years old”

Why? Because idol worship is worshiping the material as God, both flesh and rock are material, and Jesus is Spirit and Flesh, while God in only Spirit... Thus worshiping Jesus is idol worship.

But 1 Question still remains unanswered by Dr. Gibson, afterall why abbasid changed Qibla direction to Mecca at all. What is kabba' importance before era of muhhommad if he lived in petra the becca? What was there in mecca when muhommad was preaching islam in petra?

@@bernardommarquez4532He doesn’t present any evidence, everything in this video is fabricated garbage.
In 2017, historian David A. King authored a highly critical review of Gibson's Early Islamic Qiblas in which he cites plagiarism, misconstruction and misunderstanding of his 1990 work on Qibla direction.[2][3] King also published a systematic review in 2018 entitled "The Petra fallacy - Early mosques do face the Sacred Kaaba in Mecca but Dan Gibson doesn't know how / Comparing historical orientations with modern directions can lead to false results".[4]
King argued that early Muslim Arabs were unable to precisely establish Qiblas when building new mosques until later mathematical developments made precision possible.[1] Further, King wrote, many variations in orientation are better accounted for by regional and local practices, imperfect geography, and folk astronomy. King noted Gibson's inadequate grasp of mathematics, citing Gibson's "spherical polygons" (p. 170) as inexplicable. King summarized his analysis of Gibson's work as an "amateurish, non-scholarly document that is both offensive to Muslims and also an insult to Muslim and Western scholarship."[1] Gibson placed a response to King on academia.edu, "Dr. King on the other hand is convinced that the sloppy qiblas actually intended to point: east, west, solstices, sunrises and so forth. I have not come across anything in Islamic religious manuscripts that support these Qiblas. But perhaps in time someone, somewhere will stumble across something that will change our understanding of Qiblas. All I have found so far, is that every Muslim expects the Qibla to point to Masjid Al Harām."[5]
Islamic scholars and historians argue that "Becca" mentioned in the Quran (Surah 3:96) may refer to the same location. The Quran states that the first house of worship established for humanity was at Becca.
In the Bible, there is a reference to a place called "Baca" in Psalm 84:6: "As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs." Some Islamic scholars propose that "Baca" could be linked to "Becca" and thus to the modern city of Mecca.
Only believe and no evidence or proof because there is no record of any word mecca older then 1300 yrs.
Plenty of people questioned that Mecca is the holy city of Islam. Gibson says:
"No one has ever questioned that Mecca is the holy city of Islam." but others have questioned it, and ex-muslims have even paid with their lives for pointing out the obvious.
Outside the lands where pointing out the obvious could get you killed, imprisoned or put in an insane asylum, many academics have shown that the, to quote a term, "standard narrative has holes in it "
As Gibson says many have recognised that the landscape in the Qur'an,does not agree at all with what you find in Mecca today. People have looked for Mecca on ancient maps in all nearby civilisations, and looked into other documents from the time and Mecca is not there.
Apart from stories only written (down) about 200 years after the supposed death of the character "Muhammad " by Muslims and their rulers, there is really nothing that links any of the 37 Arabic Qur'ans with what is called Mecca today.
The earliest manuscripts of Qur'ans show that it was written without vowels and other diacritics so there was no Muhammad as Muslims want to claim. What you have is a bunch of consonants mhmd that would most likely be Mahmood or rather mahmed with no vowels needed between the h and the second m. This was not a name but a the title of the Praiseworthy One. That title had been given to Jesus as far back as the Book of Revelation.
The Qur'an as it stands today says that it is supposed to be in pure Arabic but it really contains dozens of words from Amharic, Hebrew and Greek etc. So it is actually unlikely that modern translators etc knowing only Arabic really even understand the foreign words in the Qur'ans.
So we find contradictions in the whole thing. There are verses in the Qur'ans that say that it is a "clear book ", but these are contradicted by other verses saying that the Qur'ans contain birth clear and *unclear* verses and now experts admitting that only Allah (if he exists) knows what the Qur'ans are supposed to mean in many verses.
So people have now looked at these verses and compared them with Syriac Aramaic and concluded that that is the true language of the original Qur'an and that it actually didn't have anything to do with what is called Mecca today. It, the Qur'an itself, is from the north where that dialect of Syriac Aramaic was written and later recited.
A Gulf War 1990-1991 Veteran, a platoon Sergeant, thought that he was doing the right thing, but being a PBI (poor bloody infantry) tried to do the right thing but screwed up. I was also a veteran, and we became good friends. He came to an Iraqi position and advanced cautiously. They hadn't come under fire and wanted to give them every opportunity to surrender and not take life unless absolutely necessary, but was responsible for the troops under his command. He fired some warning shots to see if enemy fire would be returned or a white flag would be raised. The enemy position had been taken out by an air strike. Trying to be respectful, he used his compass and buried the dead with dignity, pointing East, trying to do the right thing. He told me of this event about 6 years after the war. I said, "Trust an infantier, pointed out where he was on the Battlefield then the location of Mecca, good intention, but you laid them the wrong way.".....
History is written by the victors... Not by truth....
A human is a human only when he is able to do research, Observe and have logic .
You want to write off 80% of the human race as non-human? Just because of where Islam started?
What you are talking about is actually interesting but at the same time it makes me shocked lol.
I am curious about the city of Medina which became the place of migration of the Prophet Muhammad... Does that mean it wasn't where we know it? 🤔
Maybe it was the Medina as we know it as it was in the caravan routes he showed in the beginning. Remember they used to attack the mekkan caravans
It is likely that Medina would’ve been the next ‘Mecca’, and then the current day Mecca would’ve been created to fulfill the idea of a holy city as there was no previous civilisation there to counter historic claims. Medina has a lot more historical sources because it was within the incense caravan route, and there were multiple Jewish tribes that lived there before pre-Islam. For whatever reason, whether by political reasons or a change of caravan route due to Petra losing its position to Syria and the resulting earthquakes a couple centuries before Mohammed’s alleged birth, Medina would’ve been an ideal trade centre to migrate to
@@gappuma7883 yes. Medina is an oasis city. So, It was where prophet Muhammad formed the government
nice very informative.
so that muslim know thier story of origin of islam
Wow! Mind Blowing
I'm surprised by this at all. No questions asked organization. They used to pray facing Jerusalem. Why was it changed?

Sometimes we must listen to reason and logic. You came to your belief based on logic isn't it!
@@andrewwong1146 When you call your assumptions "logic" then we are doomed.
We just need to wait.

With your own eyes, no more belief in the unseen or indirect evidence.
I'm in peace with whatever scenario, as long as i do good, why should i fear?
But some people do wrong while they don't fear the consequences, we will see how those end.

@@Gabriel-ServantOfGod The point is if the religion is strong it should not worry about being questioned! Dan has provided a mountain of evidence and you just can't sweep it all aside as mere assumptions!
We are now way past this in terms of knowledge. We know that Muhammad never lived and that Islam started as a Christian heresy. They were opposed to the belief of a trinitarian God.
Allahu Akbar
A fascinating & ancient world …. would love to visit ! 🙏❤️
Mr Gibson you are a gem......thank you for your research which has benefitted muslims as well as non muslims
It has not benefit anyone. It's pure stupidity. Becca is mentioned in Bible and Quran. This man just want to sound different to get views and money
Hmmm. Great research. This is undoubtedly true
you mad interesting uploading. take care!DOCUVERSE,
I was thinking the same thing.
Meca has thousands of years of poetry and debate...it was a place for a gathering...
Remember to distinguish between metaphor and materia. Without this you go no where
Mecca or muhammed never excisted in or before the 7th century islam came within the 8th 9th 10th 11th centurys without history islam goes now where 😂😂😂
All the poetry has been debunked by Taha Hussien and the studies of poetry criticism. It was all fabricated during the Abbasids times when this book became islam.
All the interpretations and Hadtih Bukhari and Muslims were generated by the Abbasids, there is zero evidence of the Islam that we know today before the Abbasids
Religion organised society via custom, law, cohesion. Hence good to believe & accept. I see Islam as a power base for political power. I read that Muhammad as a messenger of god, could allocate heavenly positions (so did Christian clergy at one stage). Islam claims destiny of world dominance, which is the reason it builds over the top of other faiths sacred sites - converted Hagia Christian church Constantinople, to Istanbul mosque; Israel sacred sites to Islamic sacred sites etc. Islam known as militants religion accepted jihad as Devine inspiration to take control.
What an effort Mr.Gibson have done a research on muslim history. He should did the same to the core believe of christians. Suggested topic is: How Jesus transforms from human to god.
A great discovery of the Islam no doubt patra is the real macca very realistic and true story of Muhammad Islam
Excellent
Islam starts from a Pagan Moon god of Muhammad called "Al-lah"

It is not virtue that you turn your faces towards the East and the West. But virtue is: one who believes in God, and the Last Day, and the angels, and the Writ, and the prophets, and gives wealth in spite of love of it to relatives, and the fatherless, and the needy, and the wayfarer, and those who ask, and to manumit slaves; and who upholds the duty, and renders the purity; and those who keep their covenant when they make a covenant; and the patient in affliction and adversity, and during conflict: those are they who are sincere; and it is they who are those of prudent fear.

The Qur'an never calls to paganism.
Just as the Gospel doesn't either, yet most Christians are also pagans...
History repeats itself...
N.B :)) The Al-Sahaba Mosque in the Eritrean city and port of Massawa is the first mosque built outside Mecca in the year 615 AD, when the Companions migrated to Abyssinia and turned towards Al-Aqsa Mosque in Palestine.
But the Jordanians believe that their prophet is from Jordan.
The whole theory/story is good but it falls apart when it comes to zamzam well.

Very interesting to listen.
I think it's quite possible that current Mecca is an invented city to some extent. However, I am not convinced that Petra was the original Mecca. Petra was well inside the sphere of Roman/Byzantine Christianity, as it was conquered by the Romans in 106 AD. The bishop of Petra in fact attended the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD. I find it hard to believe that all the events of early Islam were actually happening in Petra and it somehow went unnoticed by Roman historians. The Quraysh were controlling Petra? Petra went to war with Medina? There's zero archaeological evidence for any of this. Also, the Arabic spoken in Petra was not at all like the Arabic we find in the Quran.
Lol do you know Petra is Nabatean kingdom, ancient Arabic city
451 to 623 is a fairly long time
Interesting point you make here.
Quraesh is a bit tribe in the Levant ( Syria today )
Nice video, Some scholars says Quran's language is closelt related with Syrian Arabic, adds value to your findings. Many historical events and origins related to Islam was from Syria.
I'm surprised this has only surfaced over the last 5yrs. I have followed this since the early noughties. The falsehoods of Islam are now exposed.
What? So it started in Petra. So what! There's more to Islam than just the location of Mecca. Shows your ignorance.
"Our Lord, I have settled some of my descendants in an uncultivated valley near Your sacred House, our Lord, that they may establish prayer." Quran 14:37

there are loads of verses whic debunk the complete argument and these verses are pesent in literally every single oldest Manuscript during the time of the Prophet s.a.w
You seem to have left out the end of verse Q14:37; ‘Our Lord, indeed I have settled of my offsprings in a valley not with cultivation near Your Sacred House Our Lord that they may establish the prayers.
