Our brothers in kashmir are also in great pain. Also pray for the wellbeing of our brothers and sisters in afghanistan. Remember dua is the biggest strength of a believer.

They are part & parcel of our hearts, despite power calculus & "diplomacy," many of us will never abandon them to the demoniacal dogs in human form in sha Allah.
I agree, Mr. Irfan 🙂 Mr. Hamza Tzortzis is awesome. I'm currently reading his book: - The Divine Reality: God, Islam, and the Mirage of Atheism. I'm about to finish the book, Inshallah 🙂 It's an amazing book. One of the best books I've read.
A book I would recommend is "Muslim Christian Dialogues" by Dr Baagil. I came to know this book about 10 years ago when I read the story of a Korean American who converted to Islam. She mentioned that this book helped her to realize the corruption in Bible and to seek the truth and finally accept Islam
Its a most awesome book..very small...but quite intresting...i keep it as a treasure.. When i was in saudi arabia My wife gave me that book.she got from her workplace... When i read...the feeling i got was un explained.. I answrd my evanjelist friend with that...its a nostalgia for me ...
Been waitng for this video. Hope there will be another video of recommended books on diverse subjects. I have most of the books mentioned in my e-library. PS. I like Paul's dry humour.
Paul, how many books you have in total in your excellent library? Also, I think NRSV Bible one should buy with Apocrypha, although it is not scriptures but read as such by Catholics and Orthodox people.
May I strongly recommend to the followers of your channel the book by Emmon Duffy, published by Yale University Press in 1992 The Stripping of the Altars. . This 650 page book is not only an academic coverage of the subject of iconaclasm , it is a detailed historical analysis from primary sources of the differences in the practice of Christianity in 16th century England. The author is a self proclaimed Catholic , and it's therefore highly capable of relaying his subject most fairly. The Edwardian and Elizabethan ages could almost be described as forging a path to Islam, trinity not withstanding. Tawheed is the key here, and doing away with images and the priesthood i.e. sacraments, relics etc. is undeniably foundational. It is written in an academic style and would be most appreciated by those who have a background in basic European history and comparative religion.
Jazakum Allah khairan my dear sister for that, always learning in sha Allah. I have a vague idea about Christian Orthodox iconoclasm & the Protestant Reformation including English Puritanism. However, I always tended to presume that Catholicism was the most paganised of European Christianities. Are you referring to the W.A.S.P. inclinations to return to a purer more pristine conception? The Osmanli Turks had a religiously (as well as presumably political) gravitation to the Protestant arc of liberation.
Paul! Your collection of books & recommendation are very commendable. I expect more such videos in future also with rich collection of books. Just one request from you is, the voice, I mean the sound is not quite clear, it needs to be audible enough. Thank you & really appreciate for your interesting videos. Continue your good work, hats off to you. 👍
@Blogging Theology After watching your interview with Prof. John Barton which was enlightening. I immediately bought that book " A History of the Bible The Book And Its Faith " . Also I shared your youtube channel to my friends. Once again thank you !
My personal and humble recommendation is RISALE-I NUR (Bediuzzaman Said Nursî) from Turkey.. This book, it is a collection actually, is amazing and includes very strong logical proofs. I can say that it gives the answers for every single question and doubt about existence of God, existence of hereafter and prophetphood etc...
I have always wondered why prophet Muhammad (pbuh) rode a mule in battles instead of a horse until I knew that in those days it was an indicator of a possibility of peace if the leaders of enemy troops wanted it, in other words it was a way to tell the enemies: As a leader of the army I will accept settling the conflict politically instead of having a fight if you want to go for diplomacy.
Salam Brother Paul! Can you share the link for where we can purchase that Bible? I want to get one for research purposes, as well as a tanach. May Allah (swt) bless you for all the work you do.
@@sisterfleur7523 Thank you for your suggestion, Sister! By the way, Mr. Hamza Tzortzis already recommended me to buy Mr. Hijab's book. He recommended me in his book ( The Divine Reality ) 😁
Juan Cole might be a good scholar but I will never forget that he was an outspoken cheerleader for Western intervention in Libya that led to the destruction of the Libyan State and all the ensuing chaos and suffering.

Sir in this list you have not mentioned a book Muhammad his life based on earliest sources By Martin Ling shall we also read that Also Islamic Jesus book Can you share another list of books for those non Muslims who want to learn about Islam
May I suggest the following books: "The making of religion" by Andrew Lang, and "The origin and growth of religion: facts and theories" by Wilhelm Schmidt. However, to make you easier to grasp the idea of these two classics you can read "In the beginning God: A fresh look at the case for original monotheism" by Winfried Corduan.
I really hope you will have Dr. Laurence Brown to talk about atheism in one of your videos, or prof. Jeffrey Lang to talk about his personal experience and his understanding of the Quran. (What I like about Jeffrey lang story is that he read the Quran without any doctrine or someone telling how to interpret every vers, it's was like the Quran spoke to him directly) Their scientific mindset is very intriguing for a nerd like me😅
We are grateful for your effort Paul…you are in a rare and unique position as a westerner in helping to propagate the truth. Any plans to delve into Hinduism, Buddhism and etc?- hope to get your insights whether these beliefs are the adulterated versions of monotheism - example brahma=abraham and sarah=sarasvathi…perhaps hinduism, like christianity also took prophets as gods…
