He is good but has many mistakes in his line of thought. I just listened random 5-6 minutes (which approx 20'-25') and found many mistakes. During that 5 minutes, he was confused with Qiraa (which means the way you read, or call - this call is not "phone-call", but "shouting" like you try to make someone here you from far away) with Quran. Second, Hadidth's are not collected 200 years after his death, but had started to be collected even before, third guy Othman ordered to be collect all the verses in a book. Third, there is no 600 sayings of Prophet (SAV) collected, only Bukhari collected 18000 of prophet (SAV) sayings. This is what i noticed during this 5 min or so. Anyhow the point is, trying to understand Quranic Arabic with Aramiac is not acceptable (academically) but good brain storming for a lawyer and people in New Jersey. Aramaic is a language of East Syria, where Syria was belong to Roman Empire long long time and also influenced by Babylonian Languages (Not Jewish) as well as Hittites. Aramiac developed almost 600-1000 years before the Quran has occurred . In addition, Mecca was kind a remote area, and their Arabic is kinda secluded from rest of the Arabic world; especially where rest of the arabic speaking population heavily influenced by Egyptian Arabic. (Ask an Egyptian to tell "P" like 'People', they cannot, they will say 'Beoble' they cannot pronounce letter P). Bottom line, You just cannot try to find the details of Mecca Arabic words via Aramiac and change the meaning based on your personal faith. His approach trying to associate words and their meanings with biblical language of Aramiac can be considered absurd but make sense (Guess why?). If i wanna give a clear example to people who does not get my point; think about this dude is trying to interpret a book written in a Shakespearean British Aristocrat English (Quranic Arabic) with Snoop Dog's hood rap references (Aramiac)... which becomes absurd. Overall this is the problem of Lebanese people, as Greeks they think everything originated from their local neighborhood... i love all people by the way... but any Lebanese who wants to write an influential book must first write a book about trash problem in Lebanon's streets.
this lecture should be quite useful for this summer of 2016!!!
