I am not a Muslim, but I like to enter Islam. There are several reasons that made me love Islam. They are that Islam urges the Muslim to be clean and purity, and commands the Muslim not to steal and not to wrong anyone. There are studies that say that Muslims are less likely to commit suicide, and this indicates that Muslims are happy
This is such a great interview with a fascinating expert who clearly loves our holy prophet saaw so much and I learned a new approach to our sources can shine new light on even things we assumed we fully understood.
Prof. Joel always enriches us with his deep knowledge stemming from a careful and objective study of history. His information and studies are valuable to both Arabs and non-Arabs.

This is one of the very best talks I have ever heard about the historicity and life of the Holy Prophet peace be upon him. Traditionalists who have never wrestled with the sources won't like everything he says, but he is responsible and reasonable. I loved this.
And Professor Joel Hayward never said "bribed". He said the Holy Prophet peace be upon him used the greed that some people had as a means of drawing them into a place where they could, inside the tent (so to speak), hear and be transformed by Allah SWT's powerful message

This is a fantastic talk by a fantastic expert. A lot of it is new to me, and I read a lot of Sirah, but I admire his desire for truth and I'm glad to have him as a brother in Islam
Paul - thank you so much for hosting this insightful discussion. I probably would've never heard of Dr. Joel Hayward were it not for this podcast episode. His work looks incredibly interesting and original.
With due respect, this guest pretend to be a qualified historian, however all he does is give none muslim sources credibility, and casts all doubts about the Muslim sources and the Seerah from it's roots! Very improfessional and bias approach. And who's muslim that care about none-muslims sources says about the messenger of Allah? I hope he read this friendly message and fix his approach.
Dear Fact explained and all, I wrote in another post this, "Since he is so impartial on the earlier sources (sirah etc) which we muslims are taught not to trust 100% , why he gives such a weigh to info about the life of the prophet pbuh from other indirect Muslim books such Taxation books which were written way after Prophet's time.. is not that, unknowingly, a kind of research bias ( look what I found through my research!) 2. No one said "there were exactly 10,000 men to enter Mecca). And the guest, may God be pleased with him, forgot an important factor that many of the sources, hadiths, and practice of the Prophets were alive and well, hadith collections was at that date, but it was written in different medium, prophets actions and the way he worshiped was immitate by people, or did muslim stopped praying until the hadith collection was written ? of course not, the Sirah books draws from it and from other sources. 3. Also there were no Christians we know of in Mecca, south of Arabia yes.. Medina some jews but I doubt they were the majority... nor I have ever heard that that the cities above it were Jewish towns!! till sham (syeria)!!!!! no. In addition, the fact it is GRAVE Very GRAVE sin to add and delete from the Sunnah, minimize the errors, and the lies.. it would not eradicate it but certainly minimize it, and scholars have critique the sirah themselves.. they warns against some of the stories there. That was done long time ago. And no, the artifacts we discovers may not shed light on Prophet teaching to induce us to re write the Sirah 1400 years after.. unless on aspect of trades or minor details.. tools, artifacts will not give much insight of immaterial aspect such as personality of a historical figure, charisma or his teaching.. not at all.. , they are tools they may give light on human sophistication in tools making, on trade.. etc.. but not immaterial side of human figure.... unless you unearth major old books or scroll attributed without a shadow of doubt to great Muslim writers, (imagine we did not have Sirah books and now it is unearth, it does not mean it would be 100% factual)

Oh and, have you got any past episodes that highlights the way in which Islamic cultures and states differed from its 7th or 8th century contemporaries.... ...with regards to women's rights, slave rights, human rights, the rights of the poor, animal rights, the spread of Islam, conversion of non-Muslims, etc. Like a side-by-side comparison between Islam and its contemporaries..
What an amazing session! this kind of scholarly , critical approach is much needed today, as prof. Joel mentioned, there is not much a non-Muslim can appreciate from the scarelised seerah of ours, we need to demystify the Prohet and present him as a real, concrete figure to be emulated in our times.
Unlike Christian’s we don’t change our religion to suit others and if u read the Quran you will understand that the Jews and the Christian will never be pleased with you unless you follow their way/creed/religion so stick to your Islam if you want to be a winner and quit falsifying your history religion to please the disbelievers
@El-Ḥaakim be-Amr Allāh Then he has a duty to question him, ask for his alleged evidence, or at least place a disclaimer on the video; surely not everyone with an opinion is valid or deserve an uncontested platform
Very interesting discussion. And very important information about the sealed nectar. I think Yasir Qadhi’s lecture series on seerah is the best lecture series yet, on this topic in the English language. Would be great if you can invite him to your channel.
Yasser Qadhi’s has catastrophic errors in belief. I do not recommend following him. You can watch Sheikh Othman bin Al-Farouq and Mufti Mink. They talked about the Prophet’s biography, and they are the best in the way they talk and their style is fun.
I really enjoy when scholars present the prophet (S.A.W) as a human instead of a superficial being(which tbh is common). He was an outstanding person because of his character, humility and his understanding of people. His great leadership!!!To me he is more relatable that way and my admiration peaks when I ponder him that way. I enjoyed every minute of this episode!!! Masha Allah
Salam Paul, I absolutely feel spiritually fulfilled listening to you. And in this episode Professor Joel Hayward really puts it in perspective how the scholarly sources have to be balanced with beliefs in order to arrive at a hypothesis. Loved it.
Revert westerners are more authentic Islamic schokars than indigenous Muslim scholars the pforfeeor has very authentich researched knowledge kudos to him
BEAUTIFUL discussion. At the start, I really didn't know whether I would enjoy it, but WOW was this an amazing and very beneficial discussion. I really appreiciate his passion to advance the rational approach to the Seerah.
Why is this talk so short, really, wanted to listen more. Excellent. May Allah bless you both, and especially you Paul. His books as audiobooks in Professor's own voice would be on another level. Wish that happens, insha Allah
Islam is a fake counterfeit religion of the devil, mohammad met devil in heera cave, he was possessed by demons or jinn of sexual perversion, Khadija tested whether it is an angel or devil, by showing her pussy, so the devil tricked her by hiding, she did not see allah nor the demon or jebreel all were in mohmmad's head , mohammad was bewitched by a jewish man so he had so much hallucinations and crazy feelings, some times he even said he had sex with his wives but he did not, mohammad died of poison that proves he was a fake prophet according to his own words and by the narrations of Aysha his child wife. Look at the character of mohammaad , he was a pedophile, sexaholic psychopath, his allah is a filthy demon of sexual perversions and fertility , that is not the charactor God of Abraham or Ishmael or Jacob or Moses or Jesus will approve, he broke all commandments, he was an adulterer, a murderer, rapist, pedophile, robbery was his hobby, satan put words in his mouth or mind ..he used to have episodes of epileptic or demonic manifestations, falling down, foams come in his his mouth, shivering shaking ...that is devilish, allah gave hims sex food to achieve forty men's sexual power ..for what ? so allah is the same demon. of fertility and sexual immorality, kaaba is the center of demon worship, allah is a phallic idol , the black stone kissing is allah's daughter Al Latts vagina. overall Islam is a filthy cult. Quran is filthy, mohaammad was a psychopath and filthy sex prophet.
What a lovely man, may Allah bless you Joel and give you happiness, bliss and many more interesting historical findings that you can share with us inshallah 🙏
As a scholar, he is on point. The way in which he gives clear explanations of the history of Muhammad ( صلى الله عليه وسلم ) is respectful, enlightening and straight forward.
don’t throw around the term “scholar” so lightly. The likes of Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen was a scholar. Not everyone who speaks about Islam is a scholar. Maybe a little studied.
a person who attends a school or studies under a teacher : pupil. 2a : a person who has done advanced study in a special field. b : a learned person. 3 : a holder of a scholarship I hope my answer is adequate
@@IdoltaryTheGreatestSin-1028 Whatever the “official” definition is , whether its the oxford definition or otherwise, Islamically speaking, the term is used for someone of the likes of Sheikh bin Baaz, or Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen, Or someone the likes of Ibn Taymiyyah. These men were scholars. They were not simply people “who studied in a school” or men who “done advanced study” rather they were people who’s knowledge was above and beyond most. If we used to the term like the definition you have presented us with, then we would have an incredible amount of scholars! But that is not the case. The scholars are few in our time, and they are given this title because they are worthy , and we can seek knowledge from them. And they speak the truth, we don’t have to worry if they are telling us nonsense. but if you are talking literally, and about the english word for it, then yes you may be correct. But In Islam, in arabic, we dont throw around the term عالم
Assalam Alaykum brother Paul and brother Prof Joel. I was almost moved to tears several times during this discussion at the nature of our Prophet (peace be upon him) and also the humbleness of Prof Joel and all the great work he is doing. Insha'Allah that work will ultimately lead many non Muslims to view our Prophet in a different light, and insha'Allah to become Muslims themselves. May Allah SWT bless Prof Joel and you brother Paul. 🤲🏼🤲🏽

19:24 I disagree events were recorded there and when they happened according to Hadiths.So it's not remarkable that the physical Evidence is in Harmony with the how the book says. Because the preservation of Hadith was actively going on.The Companions were vigilant in recording any instruction the Prophet gave,where and when he gave as it was considered important part of Deen. It might be plausible the actual compilation of Seerah in a book form took that long but not the recording of events.
ما شاء اللّٰه he has good pleasing voice .. and a wonderful way of telling the his.story of the prophet .. and a fresh outlook and knowledge of the history of prophet Muhammad s.a.w. I hope he will create a youtube channel to share his knowledge to a watching&listening audience
Professor Hayward is both very impressive and very inspiring. I found his descriptions and explanations of the Prophet extremely interesting and, at times, also extremely moving. Such a fascinating discussion. A big thank you.
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarokaatuh. Congratulations Paul and guest professor. Always amazing intellectual discussion. May Allah bless you all always.
Thanks Paul for inviting Prof. Joel Hayward. Truly enjoyed listening to very informative talk during my morning walk in the park. And looking forward to reading his books on Prophet's Leadership and Diplomacy. May Allah bless you and Prof Joel Hayward always !
Great guest and a very unique perspective on the life of the Prophet SAWW. I have always been baffled by the historical take on the life of the Prophet SAWW and why the Hadith and other similar works are disregarded. However, this discussion does give a better insight into the matter. Paul, if will be great to understand from the sheikh specifically how some of the Islamic sources are viewed historically and allow us a view of the Islamic vs Western view on what sources are acceptable. It is also important to know the historical understanding of oral traditions.

A wonderful interview. I liked the idea of the blessed Prophet saw reffered to as the distributer of tangible goods. The blessed Prophet was also the distributer of Allah's devine blessings upon the creation.
Thank you for this thoughtful discussion around the life of the Prophet. Just purchased Dr. Hayward's book on the 'Leadership of Muhammad' and look forward to reading it. I think all Muslims seek to understand the Prophet as a means to be closer to him and model his good behavior. It's always exciting to gain further incites about him - both as man and Prophet of God.

Oh and, have you got any past episodes that highlights the way in which Islamic cultures and states differed from its 7th or 8th century contemporaries....
...with regards to women's rights, slave rights, human rights, the rights of the poor, animal rights, the spread of Islam, conversion of non-Muslims, etc.
Like a side-by-side comparison between Islam and its contemporaries..
Wonderful discussion.
What an amazing session! this kind of scholarly , critical approach is much needed today, as prof. Joel mentioned, there is not much a non-Muslim can appreciate from the scarelised seerah of ours, we need to demystify the Prohet and present him as a real, concrete figure to be emulated in our times.
Unlike Christian’s we don’t change our religion to suit others and if u read the Quran you will understand that the Jews and the Christian will never be pleased with you unless you follow their way/creed/religion so stick to your Islam if you want to be a winner and quit falsifying your history religion to please the disbelievers
@El-Ḥaakim be-Amr Allāh I am starting to think this is the purpose of this channel, mix and match and try to put poison in the honey
@El-Ḥaakim be-Amr Allāh Then he has a duty to question him, ask for his alleged evidence, or at least place a disclaimer on the video; surely not everyone with an opinion is valid or deserve an uncontested platform
@El-Ḥaakim be-Amr Allāh I may have missed something what kind of views does Joel have that is bothering you?
Fantastic guest. Thank you very much to both of you, May Allah bless you and increase you in goodness
Very interesting discussion. And very important information about the sealed nectar. I think Yasir Qadhi’s lecture series on seerah is the best lecture series yet, on this topic in the English language. Would be great if you can invite him to your channel.
Many thanks Abdul!
Yasser Qadhi’s has catastrophic errors in belief. I do not recommend following him. You can watch Sheikh Othman bin Al-Farouq and Mufti Mink. They talked about the Prophet’s biography, and they are the best in the way they talk and their style is fun.
@@عبدالله-ن6ه2ص can you please explain his errors in believe ,I keep hearing how he is wrong but no one can explain it to me
@ ABDUL AZEEM NISHAD
Please beware of Yasir Qadhi.
@@mbarkbiba he takes moderate or semi-neutral positions in some topics. So both parties don’t like him. That just proves he’s better than most people.
I really enjoy when scholars present the prophet (S.A.W) as a human instead of a superficial being(which tbh is common). He was an outstanding person because of his character, humility and his understanding of people. His great leadership!!!To me he is more relatable that way and my admiration peaks when I ponder him that way. I enjoyed every minute of this episode!!! Masha Allah
Salam Paul,
I absolutely feel spiritually fulfilled listening to you. And in this episode Professor Joel Hayward really puts it in perspective how the scholarly sources have to be balanced with beliefs in order to arrive at a hypothesis.
Loved it.
Revert westerners are more authentic Islamic schokars than indigenous Muslim scholars the pforfeeor has very authentich researched knowledge kudos to him
Very detailed, focused and insight discussion. Really beneficial. Thanks
Fascinating discussion alhamduillah. Thank you for sharing!
This is so wonderful. The professor is remarkable. I feel uplifted in my faith and much better informed than I was
I have recently started watching your videos.
Started with short videos and now I am hooked to it. Can't stop watching
Sam Harris that I know is an American philosopher and author who has a common sense with the opposite mindset. 😁

BEAUTIFUL discussion. At the start, I really didn't know whether I would enjoy it, but WOW was this an amazing and very beneficial discussion. I really appreiciate his passion to advance the rational approach to the Seerah.
Joel was my uni lecturer back in the day. Very inspiring guy.
From the deepest part of my heart, thank you Brother Paul and Brother Joel
Why is this talk so short, really, wanted to listen more. Excellent. May Allah bless you both, and especially you Paul.
His books as audiobooks in Professor's own voice would be on another level. Wish that happens, insha Allah
Wow what a fresh and insightful exposition on the Muslim Faith....I understand so much more about the seedbed of Islam.
Thank you very much for your genuine interest.
Are you a Muslim or a Christian or a FORMER Christian?
I mean what your position?
Islam is a fake counterfeit religion of the devil, mohammad met devil in heera cave, he was possessed by demons or jinn of sexual perversion, Khadija tested whether it is an angel or devil, by showing her pussy, so the devil tricked her by hiding, she did not see allah nor the demon or jebreel all were in mohmmad's head , mohammad was bewitched by a jewish man so he had so much hallucinations and crazy feelings, some times he even said he had sex with his wives but he did not, mohammad died of poison that proves he was a fake prophet according to his own words and by the narrations of Aysha his child wife. Look at the character of mohammaad , he was a pedophile, sexaholic psychopath, his allah is a filthy demon of sexual perversions and fertility , that is not the charactor God of Abraham or Ishmael or Jacob or Moses or Jesus will approve, he broke all commandments, he was an adulterer, a murderer, rapist, pedophile, robbery was his hobby, satan put words in his mouth or mind ..he used to have episodes of epileptic or demonic manifestations, falling down, foams come in his his mouth, shivering shaking ...that is devilish, allah gave hims sex food to achieve forty men's sexual power ..for what ? so allah is the same demon. of fertility and sexual immorality, kaaba is the center of demon worship, allah is a phallic idol , the black stone kissing is allah's daughter Al Latts vagina. overall Islam is a filthy cult. Quran is filthy, mohaammad was a psychopath and filthy sex prophet.
@@faisalsiraj1463 lm a Christian and will remain one !
What a lovely man, may Allah bless you Joel and give you happiness, bliss and many more interesting historical findings that you can share with us inshallah 🙏
As a scholar, he is on point. The way in which he gives clear explanations of the history of Muhammad ( صلى الله عليه وسلم ) is respectful, enlightening and straight forward.
Who is a scholar?
@@reconss5290 I
don’t throw around the term “scholar” so lightly. The likes of Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen was a scholar. Not everyone who speaks about Islam is a scholar. Maybe a little studied.
a person who attends a school or studies under a teacher : pupil. 2a : a person who has done advanced study in a special field. b : a learned person. 3 : a holder of a scholarship
I hope my answer is adequate
@@IdoltaryTheGreatestSin-1028 Whatever the “official” definition is , whether its the oxford definition or otherwise, Islamically speaking, the term is used for someone of the likes of Sheikh bin Baaz, or Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen, Or someone the likes of Ibn Taymiyyah. These men were scholars. They were not simply people “who studied in a school” or men who “done advanced study” rather they were people who’s knowledge was above and beyond most. If we used to the term like the definition you have presented us with, then we would have an incredible amount of scholars! But that is not the case. The scholars are few in our time, and they are given this title because they are worthy , and we can seek knowledge from them. And they speak the truth, we don’t have to worry if they are telling us nonsense.
but if you are talking literally, and about the english word for it, then yes you may be correct. But In Islam, in arabic, we dont throw around the term عالم
Assalam Alaykum brother Paul and brother Prof Joel. I was almost moved to tears several times during this discussion at the nature of our Prophet (peace be upon him) and also the humbleness of Prof Joel and all the great work he is doing. Insha'Allah that work will ultimately lead many non Muslims to view our Prophet in a different light, and insha'Allah to become Muslims themselves. May Allah SWT bless Prof Joel and you brother Paul. 🤲🏼🤲🏽

Your false antichrist prophet was a pédophile
Really so impressive professor who really inspired me. I read many books of Sirah but never understood some things until now. Invite him back Mr Paul
19:24 I disagree events were recorded there and when they happened according to Hadiths.So it's not remarkable that the physical Evidence is in Harmony with the how the book says.
Because the preservation of Hadith was actively going on.The Companions were vigilant in recording any instruction the Prophet gave,where and when he gave as it was considered important part of Deen.
It might be plausible the actual compilation of Seerah in a book form took that long but not the recording of events.
Listening to this insightful discussion has strengthened and increased my faith and iman tenfold. Thank you both.
ما شاء اللّٰه
he has good pleasing voice .. and a wonderful way of telling the his.story of the prophet .. and a fresh outlook and knowledge of the history of prophet Muhammad s.a.w. I hope he will create a youtube channel to share his knowledge to a watching&listening audience
Professor Hayward is both very impressive and very inspiring. I found his descriptions and explanations of the Prophet extremely interesting and, at times, also extremely moving. Such a fascinating discussion. A big thank you.
Mashallah!!!! May Allah swt Bless Brother Paul. May Allah Bless the Professor. ❤
This talk was great. I was totally transfixed from start to end.. thank you for these amazingly in depth and academic discussions.
Very humble professor. Thank you both.
What a wonderful conversation ❤ we want him again please.
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarokaatuh. Congratulations Paul and guest professor. Always amazing intellectual discussion. May Allah bless you all always.
Thanks
Listening to you, I felt a great longing to hear more and more of prophet Muhammad's seerah.
How come I haven't heard of this fabulous scholar before? Mesmerizing indeed!!
Thanks!
Thanks Paul for inviting Prof. Joel Hayward. Truly enjoyed listening to very informative talk during my morning walk in the park. And looking forward to reading his books on Prophet's Leadership and Diplomacy. May Allah bless you and Prof Joel Hayward always !
Thanks for bringing highly educated,well spoken, sincere& intelligent people on your program. Amazing! Thankyou.
Beautiful professor Hayward,
My hat goes up for you sir.
Paul, thanks for sharing this video please invite him again.
👏👏👏👏
Deep, insightful, factual... Brilliant interview. Very well analysed & explained by Prof.Joel. An eye opener for many. God bless.
Very impressive and powerful way of explaining every detail about the events Allah bless you and increase your Emman.🌹
You have no clue on Christianity. MUHAMMAD WAS NOT A PROPHET.
Great guest and a very unique perspective on the life of the Prophet SAWW. I have always been baffled by the historical take on the life of the Prophet SAWW and why the Hadith and other similar works are disregarded. However, this discussion does give a better insight into the matter.
Paul, if will be great to understand from the sheikh specifically how some of the Islamic sources are viewed historically and allow us a view of the Islamic vs Western view on what sources are acceptable.
It is also important to know the historical understanding of oral traditions.

@@JewelsLaPerle we need to understand them to refute them. Historical approach is flawed for Muslim history. It assumption don't work for early Islamic societies. And unless we know those assumptions, we cannot refute them.
A wonderful interview. I liked the idea of the blessed Prophet saw reffered to as the distributer of tangible goods. The blessed Prophet was also the distributer of Allah's devine blessings upon the creation.
I like this channel because of the scholarly approach and discussions. Thanks.
Glad you like them!
جزاكم الله خير ونفع بكم الإسلام والمسلمين وجعله في ميزان حسناتكم
Thank you for this thoughtful discussion around the life of the Prophet. Just purchased Dr. Hayward's book on the 'Leadership of Muhammad' and look forward to reading it. I think all Muslims seek to understand the Prophet as a means to be closer to him and model his good behavior. It's always exciting to gain further incites about him - both as man and Prophet of God.
Absolutely right!
Dont trust this dr too much! He has jewish(hebrew) descend and in his youth he was part of a jewish organisation!
Learned so much today . Thank you Professor. May Allah bless u n your work always aamin
Thanks again uncles.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Splendid. May Allah reward you in this life and in the afterlife!

Jazakallah khair Paul, I wish I can muster kind of heart you have to bring it out in a beautiful discussion. When I feel there is who among living is living, then I see a very little glimpse. Thank you
