Moath ibn jabal, please do not tell a lie against the prophet (SAW), the prophet adopted a son which he treated him like his own flesh and blood, go learn the history of sayid, Allah subhana wata,aalla later orders the prophet (SAW), that he should not call Sayid his son, this is the foundation in which we Muslims are never allowed to change the names of children, every child belong to their biological parents and this is a religious act which Islam protects,

17:00 - so the credit for vaccines goes to Islam 🤔

[@podcastaddict2354]

Mental gymnastic this guys goes to while denying simple fact that islam condoned slavery by regulating it in various way. Owning other human is wrong people. Get your head straight

[@Alejandro-te2nt]

vegans say owning dogs is wrong too.

[@sounakbanerjee1892]

Because slavery wasn't always considered always a morally evil institution until in the 16th or 17th century. Had you been born in that era, you would have been fine with slavery probably even yourself owning a few

[@MohamedShou]

Your using secularist Liberal values and using it against medieval and ancient values 🤦🏾‍♂️. You guys are not very smart huh

[@Moath1277]

Islam didn’t banish slavery, slavery is not something evil. If it was, our prophet wouldn’t have owned slaves. Islam gave slaves their rights and limited the ways in which a person becomes a slave. What Islam did is banish the Jahilliyah slavery which was similar to the American and European slave trade. This is the evil type of slavery.

People can't be trusted with such power.

A whole discussion to justify the subjugation of a human being . It does not matter it was in previous times or present, it is inhumane, by everyone involved in the act. The thing though, is that the book and doctrines that commanded slavery still exists and is still justified today. There has been no reformation of those ideologies as the book cannot be changed as it is supposedly the word of God and cannot be changed, as it is supposed again to be eternal. They are stuck with an ancient inhumane acts of control of people against their will.
It is still happening today in the Muslim world in places like Sudan.

[@Alejandro-te2nt]

did you even listen to the lecture?

[@MohamedShou]

@@Alejandro-te2nt of course he didn't. He or she literally got triggered by the title of this video and just like Jonathan Brown said certain people will get triggered by this discussion 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Kimeikus]

Listen to the lecture next time.

[@rahel5622]

his describing mental slavery.

[@yousef_afc9363]

You can cite your credentials and make a lecture on this topic if you want.

[@rahel5622]

@@yousef_afc9363 you appealing to a white man to make excuses for slavery is troubling

[@Alejandro-te2nt]

@@rahel5622 slavery is not a uniquely black experience. I have ancestors who were enslaved under chattel slavery which anyone can tell is different than being a slave in the ottoman empire and being an accomplished and literate state funxtionary and having your children be born free and able to inherit your property.

JACB once again finding that defending Bukhari is more important than defending the Prophet (saw) and so defends the indefensible with a few anecdotes. The guy just tries to get by with his preppy looks and his cinematic references. It doesn't work, eg trying to reframe the Arab slave trade in non-colour terms and yet there was the Zanj rebellion.

[@zahir2942]

Of course you went for the look, I'm surprised you are the only one.

[@ashadanwar]

As a scholar its his duty to tell a sahih hadees from a weak or fabricated hadees.
