I am a former apostate, and Alhamdulillah Allah S.W.T showed me the right path, and I converted to Islam. I have been doing great Dawah in many years with a great result. Allah S.W.T. helps me and my fellow Muslims in my mission. 😊😊😊🤲🤲🤲🤲
How many people you reverted to Islam?
@muhammadqasim5564 First of all, converted, not reverted as I am not a reverted but convert. Islam is not a form but a belief and a way of life, like other religions. You have to learn it and accept it. Secondly, my aim is not to convert people but to show the beauty of Islam and make peace with other people, which I have shown a beautiful image of Islam to hundreds of thousands of people.
Correct, obligation of dawah falls upon delivering the message only. Not convincing or converting. @@perfectdawah4535
What do u mean by former apostate?
@thetrutherboys2654 I mean, I was born in a Muslim family, and I became atheist at 25. Alhamdulillah, I learned and converted.

“The truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Indeed, falsehood is bound to vanish.” ~ Qur’an 17:81
Yes, the Quran and Islam will one day vanish from the earth and Jesus will reign as King of Kings.
The Quran is the falsehood brother it promotes violence…

Military power is not something to apologise for, but rather something to be proud of. Most of the “great leaders” we learn about in Western education participated in and excelled at military endeavours, but we Muslims are expected to meekly justify why the Islamicate was “spread by the sword”. It’s time to own up to our historical military and political excellence, and make them a source of inspiration to rebuild our ummah.
what political excellence ? our countries were much better before islam than after it.
@@user-jt8vj1vm6y What country?
COMPARE THESE TWO ARGUMENTS
"Islam endorses war (jihad) to impose its law (Sharia) across the world. Therefore, Islam approves of killing people across the world. Muslims are dangerous - your Muslim neighbour literally wants to knife your little daughter and then blow up the local McDonalds."
"Liberalism endorses war (e.g., colonialism, humanitarian intervention, military occupation) to impose its law (international human rights law) across the world. Therefore liberalism approves of killing people across the world. Liberals are dangerous - your liberal neighbour literally wants to knife your little daughter and then blow up the local mosque."
Why do so many idiots find the first argument logical and compelling, while they find the second argument illogical and absurd? Aren't both arguments illogical and absurd?
Do you want to know why the US is broken and subject to an increasingly totalitarian surveillance regime?
It is because the American people allowed themselves to be duped by absurd arguments into endorsing the "Global War on Terrorism" - spending 8 trillion dollars and agreeing to give the government unlimited surveillance/policing powers in the name of "fighting terrorism/extremism" as characterized by the first argument above.

@@user-jt8vj1vm6y I think your delusional, how many years did they spend trying to bring them to heel.
Islam’s rise as a superpower owed to its emphasis on knowledge grounded in ethical metaphysics
No
Plus the Emphasis on Jihad. Read the kitab ul Jihad of Sahi Bukhari.
We unfortunately neglected both the intellectual competency and the Political activism (Jihad being part of it) and now we have no say in global affairs
Look at the state of Palestinians no one to rescue
So just like Salah is fard, establishing the Islamic System ( Shariah, khilafah ) is a bigger fard.
That's the Sunnah of Prophet and the companions followed it but we left it for love of Dunya and disliking of death
You have been duped by modern revisionist history. Islam offers no such thing as careful thought about metaphysics and is wildly unethical.
Islam offers nothing like that. Just Jihad. Jihad. Then some more Jihad. Until all the kids born from Jihad are forced to become Islam and can’t leave unless they are killed. Smart expansion plan.
Lets not get carried away here buddy. Islam became a superpower because of aggressive conquest. In fact thats how any empire becomes a superpower, like usa and russia

how is it possible that the truth does not enter every house of mankind, except those who run away from the truth. That must also enter but there are those who reject it....
the reason they reject the truth is easy to know because the answer is quite subjective.

They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.

Just wanted to say to haters that if my first Muslim ancestor embraced Islam because he was afraid of Muslims' swords then I'm deeply thankful to those who scared him because they saved my grandfathers and myself from following false religions and ending up in Hell.

It is not accurate to state that individuals converted to Islam solely due to the use of force or coercion. The decision to embrace Islam was primarily influenced by the uncorrupted and consistent nature of the Quran, which has remained unchanged for over 1400 years. The clarity and straightforwardness of its message resonated with many individuals, leading them to adopt the Islamic faith.
Forced conversion was very rare, and self contradictory.

The Caliphate is heavily underrated, this empire literally conquered from the entire Iberian Peninsula all the way to the borders of China and penetrated the Indian heartlands. All this within a century of its establishment.
It's almost an unexplainable historical anomaly.
Because they did what Allah commanded i.e to establish the System, establish the justice at all levels
Used intellect and Dawah where needed
And Used force where needed
Caliphate did not penetrate indian heartland.. They remained to the border states like sindh.. ARABS tried to invade beyond that but we're smashed.. Read history
@@indicphilosopher8772 Look up the definition of what "penetrate" means, pal. They conquered Sindh, which was under their rule for centuries to come. They were also able conquer the region known as Gujarat and also conquered Ujjain, which means they already controlled a part of the Indian heartland. They tried to conquer more into the Indian heartland, which as you said, failed to do so but they *did* penetrate the heartland - that is the definition of penetration you fool. All those areas that were under their control, besides Sindh, were lost though but the fear Indians had for the Arabs was just laughable, just like your stupidity. Now, woosh, out of my damn sight.

Appreciated dearly Brother Paul for always providing information about Islam from different teacher’s or preacher’s or professor’s or whomever they maybe of the field of knowledge of which you have of course approved of.😊
This episode is brimming with enlightening insights and captivating history, and I'm genuinely grateful to you brothers for sharing it.
Great presentation!!!
I wish brother Paul wouldn't so often interrupt his guest to comment on what he says. I tend to believe that his guest may loose track of what he was talking about precisely. I find Dr Jaan's explanations extremely interesting. Thank you.
Aslamolaikum: Sirs- Thank you for this lecture: It connects the Histories of Arabia to the Ancient World: It is very important to remind viewers that the Ancient World must NOT be understood through the Present Times. We must learn what was happening in the Ancient World. Including Zorastanism Religion pre-Mohammad's Prophethood:(PBUH). The Quran may not have addressed the Fire Worshippers directly: But it addresses Idol Worshippers throughout the Times. The Quran Redeems all Divine Messages sent to Mankind & thereby connects All Humans to the Universal Laws sent to Mankind
The Quran's whole Message is to establish Toheed for all times. Which challenged all kinds of paganism of the Day & even today.
God bless you
Excellent presentation!!!

@@BloggingTheology Sir, why do you promote terrorism and terrorists? Do you not know the crimes of Ibn Taymiyyah and his deviation from Islam? Your guest is a terrorist who carries the ideas of terrorists. I present to you some of the criminal fatwas of the criminal Ibn Taymiyyah. Some opinions = Fatwas of the sheikh of crimes and terrorists in the world, Ibn Taymiyyah (Whoever believes that one of God’s saints will be with Muhammad as Al-Khidr was with Moses, then he will be asked to repent, and if he repents, otherwise his neck will be struck.
If an adult man abstains from praying one of the five daily prayers or neglects some of their agreed-upon obligations, he may be asked to repent, and if he repents, otherwise he will be killed.
Whoever does not say that God is above the seven heavens is a disbeliever, and it is permissible for him to shed blood. If he repents, otherwise his neck will be struck and he will be thrown on some dunghills.
Whoever says the Qur’an is up to date is, in my view, a Jahmani who must repent. If he repents, otherwise I will strike his neck
Whoever says that one of the Companions, the Followers, or the Followers of the Followers fought with the infidels, then this is a misguided person who has gone astray, but rather an infidel. He must be asked to repent for that, and if he repents, otherwise he will be killed.
Whoever believes that the sum of these hadiths is correct is an infidel and must seek repentance if he repents, otherwise he will be killed
Whoever denies the permissibility of some apparent and frequently permissible things, such as bread, meat, and sexual intercourse, is an apostate infidel. He must be repented, and if he repents, otherwise he will be killed. Eating snakes and scorpions is forbidden according to Muslim consensus. Whoever eats them as permissible, therefore, he must be asked to repent, and if he repents, otherwise he will be killed.
Whoever says that the Qur’an is created and that it should be asked for repentance, then if he repents, otherwise he will be killed
Whoever says that God did not speak to Moses should be asked to repent, and if he repents, otherwise he will be killed
Whoever thinks that takbeer is part of the Qur’an, then he should be asked to repent, and if he repents, otherwise he will be killed
Whoever delays prayer for industry, hunting, serving a teacher, or other things until the sun sets, his punishment must be punished. Indeed, according to the majority of scholars, he must be killed after he asks for repentance.
Whoever says that the traveler must fast the month of Ramadan, both of which are misguidance and contrary to the consensus of Muslims, the one who said it must be asked to repent, and if he repents, otherwise he will be killed. Did you know that Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden, al-Baghdadi, and all the terrorists are students of their criminal sheikh, Ibn Taymiyyah? Saudi Arabia promotes him, spreads his ideas in Egypt and the world, and ruins his ideas in our countries
Henri Pirenne came to an astonishing conclusion: the ancient classical civilization, which Rome had established throughout Europe and the Mediterranean world, was not destroyed by the Barbarians who invaded the western provinces in the fifth century, it was destroyed by the Arabs, whose conquest of the Middle East and North Africa terminated Roman civilization in those regions and cut off Europe from any further trading and cultural contact with the East. According to Pirenne, it was only in the mid-seventh century that the characteristic features of classical life disappeared from Europe, after which time the continent began to develop its own distinctive and somewhat primitive medieval culture.
Pirenne’s findings, published posthumously in his Mohammed et Charlemagne (1937), were even then highly controversial, for by the late nineteenth century many historians were moving towards a quite different conclusion: namely that the Arabs were actually a civilizing force who rekindled the light of classical learning in Europe after it had been extinguished by the Goths, Vandals and Huns in the fifth century. And because Pirenne went so diametrically against the grain of this thinking, the reception of his new thesis tended to be hostile. Paper after paper published during the 1940s and ‘50s strove to refute him. The most definitive rebuttal however appeared in the early 1980s. This was Mohammed, Charlemagne and the Origins of Europe, by English archaeologists Richard Hodges and David Whitehouse. These, in common with Pirenne’s earlier critics, argued that classical civilization was already dead in Europe by the time of the Arab conquests, and that the Arabs arrived on the scene as civilizers rather than destroyers. Hodges and Whitehouse claimed that the latest findings of archaeology fully supported this view, and their work was highly influential. So influential indeed that over the next three decades Pirenne and his thesis was progressively sidelined, so that recent years have seen the publication of dozens of titles in the English language alone which fail even to mention his name.
In Mohammed and Charlemagne Revisited historian Emmet Scott reviews the evidence put forward by Hodges and Whitehouse, as well as the more recent findings of archaeology, and comes to a rather different conclusion. For him, the evidence shows that classical civilization was not dead in Europe at the start of the seventh century, but was actually experiencing something of a revival. Populations and towns were beginning to grow again for the first time since this second century - a development apparently attributable largely to the spread of Christianity. In addition, the real centres of classical civilization, in the Middle East, were experiencing an unprecedented Golden Age at the time, with cities larger and more prosperous than ever before. Excavation has shown that these were destroyed thoroughly and completely by the Arab conquests, with many never again reoccupied. And it was precisely then, says Scott, that Europe’s classical culture also disappeared, with the abandonment of the undefended lowland villas and farms of the Roman period and a retreat to fortified hilltop settlements; the first medieval castles.
For Scott, archaeology demonstrated that the Arabs did indeed blockade the Mediterranean through piracy and slave-raiding, precisely as Pirenne had claimed, and he argues that the disappearance of papyrus from Europe was an infallible proof of this. Whatever classical learning survived after this time, says Scott, was due almost entirely to the efforts of Christian monks.
The Pirenne thesis has taken on a new significance in the post 9/11 world. Scott’s take on the theory will certainly ignite further and perhaps heated debate

If we follow Him S.A.W, we'll be successful in this world and the promised hereafter.
Life of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W has covered every aspect of life. To be successful in this world if we follow Him S.A.W He S.A.W told us to gain knowledge, and through His life, we make this world a piece of heaven if we truly act according to this verse.

Thank you paul and Dr Islam, an honest and well researched look at the expansion of Islam, we are so proud of your contribution. Most of us are sick of the sectarian and ethnic divisions that plague us and want to be one ummah to bring Islam to all of mankind, your podcasts as well as the thinking muslims podcasts help bring an intellectual push in this direction and a willingness to act, the recent local elections here was a good example of the muslim voice/vote acting as one to fight for palestine

People always mention the Roman and Persian empires and forget about the Abyssinian/Aksumite empire which was also around at that time (I hope the neglect isn't coming from their African origins 🙃). Remember the year of the Elephant, the year our beloved Prophet (pbuh) was born, when Abraha, the Aksumite viceroy, Christian king of Yemen marched upon the Ka‘bah in Mecca with a large army, which included war elephants, intending to demolish it as recounted in the Quran. Later on, Aksum will be the destination of the 1st hijra. So it's important and relevant to have it in the picture as well

How Arabs conquered the World. With the sword.
I really do not see how it is not force if people are offered 3 choices 1) be killed, 2) pay some 'protection' tax, or 3) convert to Islam. And how sincere and valid is it if someone converts to Islam under these circumstances. *Anyway thank God the Most High He has progressed Humanity on from such times.*
Well, there were a few choices. Don't think the jizya could be very high and their own community could help each other on this . After all Muslims pay zakat too.
They would have paid taxes under the previous government. So what difference is it if they paid it to a new ruling state? Even the Muslims had to pay Zakat.
Brilliant.

You see, while you were praying, we dominated the world. Islam is just tolerated now.
Sir,there are 2 problems in the title of your talk.
1.muslims should be replaced by muslim converts the primary being persians.
2.muslims have a very narrow view of world. What they converted were sparsely populated desert regions of middle east,iberia and Balkan states in Eastern Europe, and parts of indian subcontinent.
One can include indonesia if one wishes but it was a voluntary conversion.
Islam does not look for quantity of muslims, na contrary, it states that majority of muslims are not moumins (true believers).

What went wrong ?
You could open a topic about the Mahdi: there is many weak hadiths talking of this. Jaan said a hadith related "it will come a time when the mahdi will conquest Constentinople", and he said that the sahabas wanted to conquested Constentinople. Just considere that the hadith could be invented later on, as many of them about this topic. Linguisticly, Mahdi is a place, a thing, a title of guidance. It's about guidance by its root, and prefix ma- is about a place or a moment. Linguistic can be a tool to debunk false myth.
Muslims did not but Islam did

@blogging Theology : Dear Paul , about your comment : "America will not always be ruling " I have a couple of comments . I do not share these thoughts with everyone but you are a well read person , so I would like to know what you think about these points : 1) America is ruling because Allah has to run his world till the Day of Judgement .Power belongs to Allah and he gives it to whome he wills . For Allah to snatch power from America and give to "someone else" . There has to be a someone else more deserving of running Allah's earth . Whome will Allah give this power to in today's world if not to America ? To sectarian Iran ? to Wahabi , autocratic Saudi arabia which is comitting genocide in Yemen ? to Godless Chinese ? To Putin ? To Rishi Sunak :) . I mean Allah's options look pretty limited here , is'nt it ? If Allah gives America's power to Saudis , Somalis , Nigerians, Pakistanis , Emiratis today , we will destroy the world in couple of years . So Allah has to keep worldly power in America's hands till Allah chooses to raise a Nation , which is more worthy of this power , which will use this power more responsibly . So it is the Duty of every Muslim , especially those in Muslim majority countries to make ourselves a Ethical and Moral power as is commanded to us . Once there is a single Muslim nation, however small, weak or poor which is an Ethical and moral power , I believe Allah will press the 'game over' button on American lead world order . 2) Secondly Islam commands us to not be dejected on seeing an immoral or unjust force in power , time and again the Quran emphasizes on the transient and ephemeral nature of this world and its powers and its wealth . ONLY ALLAH is permanent . So no matter how powerful a Islam hating worldly power might look , muslims are just one genEration away from Glory as Ibn khaldun once said, because the TOOLS to achieve glory are already there . The Islamic Ethics , the way of life , Quran, Sirah , Hadith . All the knowledge needed for a generation of Muslims to refine their character and become a Moral and Ethical force is already there . What is missing is a generation to pick up those tools and change themselves , the rest will play out and Allah knows best.
Why does it feel like that Paul doesn’t agree with the spread of earlier Islam by the explanation
ISLAM WILL ENTER EVERY HOMES
Tamim al-Dari reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “This matter(ISLAM) will certainly reach every place touched by the night and day. Allah will not leave a house or residence but that Allah will cause this religion to enter it, by which the honorable will be honored and the disgraceful will be disgraced. Allah will honor the honorable with Islam and he will disgrace the disgraceful with unbelief.”
