Imagine being muslim your whole life and not understanding purpose behind the story of Adam and Eve... well that is not me anymore. Thank you Allah for giving me this knowledge
Who knew a boy from small village in india kerala found this speech useful to stay in his true path as muslim.. May Allah forgive Jeffrey lang, i am in masjidul haram crying and praying for this Guy.. May allah Forgive his sins..
@@ofc1003 i have almost slipped into Atheism, because our local scholars are not prepared enough to fight against this Atheist propaganda.. Instagram is corrupting our youth big time..
God Almighty can do anything yes he can forgive sins without the shedding of blood, but from the beginning of the foundation of the earth God had the salvation plan in his mind That is why they were told to offer a lamb without spot and without blemish for their sins all throughout the Old Testament Moses Abraham all of the patriarchs did this " The passover lamb" What Jesus brought was not just forgiveness, of sins but a new creation, Jesus Christ transforms our lifes so that our nature is changed from within something the law could not do. When we are filled with God's spirit there is a transformation, Jesus called this being born again or born of the spirit this cannot happen through our good works or offering the blood of animals. Jesus death on the cross was so meaningful so deep and such an expression of love muslims do not understand this. Put simply the blood of Jesus washes away our sins making us clean so that the Holy Spirit can fill us and Transformer us this won't happen by man made religion man, this will not happen by doing good work, saying many prayers, this only happens through faith in the blood of Jesus shed at Calvarys cross unfortunately Muslims are taught wrongly the Quran denies the crucifixion which shows me that the devil does not want you guys to know the truth and the way of salvation.
There’s only one TINY little problem with what you wrote above, Sir.☝️ There has never been, nor will there ever be, even the SLIGHTEST shred of evidence for the existence of the Godhead, that is, a Supreme Person or Deity.🤓 It is high time for humanity to awaken from all INANE superstitions such as the belief in a Personal God which created the Universe, would you not agree, Slave? 😩
@@TheWorldTeacher First of all, don't call me a slave. I'm not your slave. Second of all, you're right, there never will be any evidence for the existence of God but there will also never be anything to prove that there is no God. Personally, looking at this world, the universe, and the beautiful creations, I refuse to believe that all this was an accident. Even putting God aside, religion, specifically Islam in this case, teaches you how to survive this world and a big part of it is respect, which is something you lack of it seems. So what's it gonna be?
Saquib B according to the most enlightened persons in history, a philosophical argument is to be AUTOMATICALLY rejected if it is composed using poor grammar and/or syntax (and, to a lesser degree, poor spelling). After all, how would it be possible to know for certain what a person’s argument even is, unless it was written in concise and legible language? Therefore, Slave, your INANE comment is futile. I suggest you get back to me once you have learnt to properly converse in the English tongue. Hint: it’s called “Spell-Check” and “GRAMMARLY”. 👨🏻🎓 Look into it, Silly Sinful Slave. ✅

Jeffrey Lang's lecture and insights remain one of the most powerful insights into Islam and purpose of our lives. It honestly shaped the way I understand Allah's wisdom and relationship with Man. And I'm a born Muslim. This is how Allah manifests His will.

@@dacomevivolta4722 those people whether they're Muslims or Christians who want to just argue about their own religion and prove others wrong are not truly guided. The guided one knows that all regions preached the same message of worshipping the one God and being a righteous human being. Simple. No place for arrogance and wasteful Muslim vs Christian debates. These people are not sincere they just like to debate to fulfill their ego
@@AlfataAlfaet I agree with you that there is no place for arrogance and wasteful debates but the kind of debate that will serve to clarify the truth to people is necessary, not everyone worship God in the right way, the concept of God changes from religion to religion, and the correct way is found in 'Islam, You can read in the holy quran in the surah Ali' Imran [3:19]: "Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah, then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account. " In surah Ali ‘Imran 85 (QS 3: 85):" And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers. "
@@dacomevivolta4722 your citation of the ayat is wrong. Islam is not just our religion as Muslims but it is also the religion of all prophets including Moses and Jesus so whoever believes in 1. God, 2. the final day and 3. does good works then he is Muslim by definition. Even Christians and Jews are not obligated to change their religion because if they are already Muslims if they follow the three pillars I stated above. It's not exclusive but inclusive and those so called shekhs and mufti are discriminators and view Islam as something they own and posses and wish everyone else burns in fire.
Jesus will change your life and he promises eternity in Heaven if you turn from your sins and follow him. Please ponder Jesus' words: “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be (spiritually) hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But you haven’t believed in me even though you have seen me. However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them. For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will. And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day. For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day.” (John 6)
His book even angels ask helped change my perspective at a young age, it was sold at many Islamic events back then. Still to this day I quote and paraphrase his words . He gave me a better understanding of Quran. A great blessing
Alright, so we see that… None can change Allah’s words (6:34; 6:115; 18:27). Jesus was given the gospel by Allah (57:27). The Quran confirms the Gospels (5:48) The Gospels contradict the Quran So, if the Quran confirms the Gospels which says that Jesus was crucified (Matthew 27:26-31; Mark 15:15-20; Luke 23:32-34; John 19:17-18) and the Quran says Jesus was not crucified (Surah 4:157), then the Quran is false. But if it says the Gospels are false, then the Quran denies its own teaching and Islam is false.
Where is the hope of heaven found in the Quran? Where is the hope of resurrection found in the Quran? How is forgiveness of sin dealt with in the Quran?
@@Jerry2Murraygood questions…read the quran and understand it and if you can understand it then you understand islams…. Open your mind to asking sincere questions with the hope of getting the information you’re looking for not to mock and compare to Christianity
@@kas7344 - My Qs have been answered by the God-breathed scriptures. The Quran was written 600 years after the Bible. Islam considers Jesus a fraud by claiming he was not God in human flesh. Islam does not believe Jesus was crucified and died to pay the penalty for human sin - they believe someone else was crucified in Jesus' place. Islam has no means by which humans can be forgiven of their sin and be justified before God the Father. Jesus said this about himself: Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going; so how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. If you had [really] known Me, you would also have known My Father. From now on you know Him, and have seen Him.” (John 14)
That's very true. As native speakers, we tend to read the quran but we don't put enough thought to what we read unless it's certain popular verses that everyone knows the meaning to.
Being a Muslim for 24 years, I heard the story of Adam and Eve, memorized the verses by heart and understood them well because I am an Arab, but this is my first time hearing it this way. This was a wonderful experience that made me think more deeply about this story. It made me realize the story philosophically, Indeed whoever converts to Islam willingly after research and thought, he will have a stronger faith than some of those who were born Muslims. We are still learning from you and we hope that Allah swt will bring us together in Heaven Amiin

I am a muslim for over 35 years, I read quraan regularly with the purpose of trying to understand what it says. But this is the first time I realize this perspective enlightened by this man .. the pieces fit together now. Thank you
@alienpov not really, its not nothing. What I meant was seeing some things from a different lens, it helps complete the picture. Have you ever encountered a math professor claiming to have gained all the math knowledge that could be acquired in this world? None. So keep learning and improving
@@alienpovnever shame a muslim who has the guts to admit he is learning. We are all here to learn and better ourselves. Alas too many of us who have lived for 7 decades, read the Quran a thousand times and yet died without realising it’s purpose!
Watching this in Jan 2025 was so amazing!!! your presentation almost made me cry,thank you so much for such a good elaboration on some verses of the holy Quran.May Allah subhana wataala grant you and all the muumin the highest jannat firdaus.
Alhamdulillah, remember to take it easy and not put pressure to be perfect right from the start yea? Always remember Allah is most Merciful and Forgiving. May Allah grant us all Jannah (heaven)
I literally cry listening to this lecture. I'm Muslim living in the Eastern part of the world, so this kind of thought pattern is not that common. This is such a new perspective for me, about the purpose of life and how to fulfill it, factually backed by the Quran itself many times over and over. Thank you very much for the presentation. I hope the best for you, in your life, filled with blessing, mercy, and grace, despite what God brings to you as the trial
I can prove that the Quran is false easily Just 2 chapters from the Hebrew scriptures Psalm 22 " they pierced my hands and feet my tongue cleaves to my jaw all my bones are out of joint, the look and stare upon Me... " A perfect depiction of the crucifixion written by Nabih Daud ( King David ) 1000 years before Jesus was born. Isaiah 53 He was wounded for our transgressions bruised for our iniquities cut off out of the land of the living for the transgressions of my people was he stricken... as a lamb to the slaughter so he opened not his mouth " 600 BC Jesus fulfilled all these Old Testament Prophecies to the letter in the New Testament and rose again from the dead according to the scriptures. The Quran says Jesus was not crucified and never even died. God doesn't contradict himself friends. I challenge all Muslims to dare to read Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53 and Isaiah 9: 6 in any Bible you like even the Hebrew Bible the Jewish Bible, how could Christians have changed their scriptures which the Jews hold near and dear? David and Isaiah being 2 of their main prophets? Many Jews are becoming Christians these days when they are shown in their own scriptures the suffering messiah.
Because the Devil had a bigger plan to decieve more people. Isaiah 14 tells us "he Satan desires to be like the Most High " Read the parable of the Tares of the field Matthew Chapter 13 The Devil sows Tares among the Wheat the seeds the devil sows are false doctrines to deceive people Revelation 12:9 " Satan deceives the whole world " not just a few again Matthew 24 Jesus said " Many false prophets shall come and shall deceive many " not a few many! Muslims don't realise they are decieved God doesn't contradict himself the Hebrew scriptures speak of the suffering messiah written hundreds and even thousands of years before Jesus was born. Psalm 22 " they pierced my hands and feet my tongue cleaves to my jaw all my bones are out of joint... " Isaiah 53 " He was wounded for our transgressions bruised for our iniquities, cut off out of the land of the living for the transgressions of my people was he stricken... " Jesus fulfilled these and many other prophecies to the letter in the New Testament. Eyewitnesses saw him crucified and saw him after he rose from the dead. He empowered them with the Holy Ghost and sent them into all the world to preach the good news healings and miracles followed their preaching the Lord working with them. Thousands of Jews and other nationalities became Christians. Understanding that the death of Jesus was as an atonement for their sins. He is called the Lamb of God. Then 600 years later Mohammed comes along who never met Jesus and says he never suffered and never died this is the main contradiction I am talking about. Jesus said "Many false prophets shall come and shall deceive many " Don't be deceived friends Jesus is the only true path to heaven all others are counterfeits no matter how nice they may seem. Jesus said "I am the true shepherd who gives his life for the sheep" through Jesus you can be filled with the Holy Ghost and enter into a new and exciting relationship with God. The love joy and peace I found can be your too. God is good and the devil is a liar and a clever deciever.

I don't have the proper words to explain how much this has stuned me. I mean, I've been a Muslim my entire life and just now I got to truly comprehensively understand and get answers for such a fundamental side of the faith.

No words can assure enough gratitude and appreciation for Dr. Jeffrey Lang.

Uchiha Shisui Please tell me how critical you are towards Islam. Islam banned free thinking since it started. Islam is the core problem. Do not insult my parents you ignorant one. Islam will be exposed soon to everyone in the White world. Time for reasoning is over with Islam. It demands things but doesn't give. It demands respect but seems to disrespect all other non Islamic factors.
This man is an idiot. He is betraying his forefathers. He is a disgrace. I have seen his speech. It gave me the chills. blehg. My enemy is Islam. Islam is a doctrine who only wants to dominate like fascism. I call it Islamofascism. It is just as evil and totalitarian ideologie. It is not welcome in Europe or in all other white dominated countries. Islam is not tolerant nor it is support of democracy. So no it is not welcome. I will fight it with all I have. I am from the north of The Netherlands where these demons are not yet in big numbers. I would like to see it remain this way. I hate islam.
Im a turkish man.I was a muslim because it was our culture.I was praying but there was no answers to my questions in quran.Because of this I had been an atheist.And 7 years I stayed as an atheist.And it was diffucult to say thereis no god because its the biggest lie.And I after 7 years I began to search again.And Im muslim now alhamdlillah.And videos of this man and the other atheist converted people helped me very much.Allahu Akbar.
Because people think they know islam and they say horrible stuff about it, so search the religion upon the scholars not agnorants people, May God helps us all my brother :)

There is no point in trying to reason with these ignorant or close minded people. They can not see the truth even when it is staring at them. Their main weapon is the ignorance of the non muslims and the political correct culture where nobody can confront them and point out the monstrosities as it will offend them.
I cried watching this. I don't know why I am so stubborn and keep doing bad things. My soul cries out for information like this, it makes me very emotional.
this lecture is crazy. Mr Lang is absolutely jenius to understand the message and make links and connections between ayat and what behind it. standing applause for this professor

I am an Arab Muslim and I was born as such and to be honest, I have read the Quran several times and never put that much thought into it, but what's really amazing about these new reverts like Prof Lang and like pastors and people that come from a strong a religious Christian background, they have these insights to bring along being exposed to what we Muslims by birth never would have stumble upon. And I believe this is what makes them strongly cherish the blessing of guidance and why they hold strongly to their faith and why they make great daees just by sharing their stories and perspectives. It's saddening to see Muslims leave their Quran on the shelf until Ramadan comes as if some don't really understand the might and transformational nature of this book that taught the early generation of the prophet's companions and their successors that truly represented and practiced and fulfilled the purpose of Islam as a way of life and as an international message to all mankind.
totally agree. imho that's because critical thinking is non existant in our societies unlike our ancestors who traveled far and wide to spread the truth to others.

This is the best speech I’ve ever heard in a long time. This man has understood the Quran and god better than the majority of Muslims on this world. He has sought for answers and found them using his god given logic and intellect instead of being fed false information from media and believing in untruthful interpretations of Islam. The beauty of Quran is that every reader takes a different story, philosophy and guidance from it and discovers different truths. Professor has searched for the meaning and point of humanity with the existence of an omnipotent creator and he has definitely cracked the code. Much love ❤️
From an atheist who questions everything, becomes a Muslim, have all of his questions answered. I really felt so deeply inside and touched @ @ . Brother Jeff made a point and alhamdulillah, Quran have answered it for him. His research on the Quran was extremely astounding. He could go on to talk about it for many hours if he could! MashAllah. That's an explanation from a Mathematician and that is how they read! Subhanallah. May Allah Guide us all!!!!
This is not an explanation of Ayat, rather it's heavenly inspired by Allah, Allah has opened up his heart and intellect to give this unprecedent interpretation

I don't remember how many times I watched this lecture by Jeffrey Lang but each time I watched I watched it with tears in my eyes. How great Allah is that a former Atheist explains the Quran so beautifully.

Exactly, in opposition to those who pretend to be none religious or Athiests who use their brains, minds, and understanding to challenge the Creator of their own ideas and intellectual skills what a huge gap. HamdouliAllah
Yeah me too. This parallel with ,"free will" which zakir naik says. there is no way for the disbelievers to go against the alquran except those who have closed themselves to the path of truth. those who consider themselves very great with their logic and intelligence are totally defeated in front of alquran. jefrey lang must be someone who is very loved by Allah SWT.
My mind is blown. I'm a practicing muslim but I've never heard this perspective before. And it's completely acceptable and correct islamically. Coming full circle, God expects us to show the same attributes that He has towards mankind, because we are a VICEGERENT on the earth. A REPRESENTATIVE of HIM.
I am a Muslim. I never try to understand the word by word in Quran too deeply. But when I watch this video I start to think deeply and start feel fear and realised who we are actually in different perspective according to Quran and Hadith. Thanks God.
Being a born Muslim we take many things as granted..when we read these we just thought...yeah..this is normal...nd I am amazed how this man find enlightment from every verse of Quran...

Brother Jeffrey you made many things clear to me about Islam which was not clear to me before. It helped me to become better Muslim . May Allah bless you & your family
SubhanAllah.. although I am a born Muslim. But this man explaining Allah's word is just on another level. Thank you so much for helping me to understand Allah better.
@@sabssabs Exactly..that would be so much knowledge and wisdom. By the way he has made several videos on TH-cam about understanding Allah and his words. I'm on it and believe me I am loving it.
One of the most wonderful lectures I have ever seen in my life, an indescribable amount of chills with every second of the video, thank God I came as a Muslim سبحان الله و الحمدلله 😭❤
Thankfully... well I'm not sure about other Islamic countries but in the uae they teach us very important and great stuff about Islam they even cover deeper subjects like in this lecture.
Wow it's great to know that. Unfortunately in my country Iran, religion classes are just a joke! Nobody cares about what the teacher is saying, we just memorize some random stuff, write them on our tests, get a passing score and we're done with religion. At least it's been the case in all the schools I've attended.
@@sultanalsultan9906 I totally echo that. That's a sad reality in Shia Islam especially in Iran, they put so much emphasis on Imams, instead of Quran and Allah.
I wonder how much depth of the meanings he got while reading the Quran even for the first time. Whereas I had to replay it again and again to get the idea. He is truly a genius
My tears fell profusely when I reached the end of the video !! oh god I wished it would never end. This is probably the best video I've ever watched on TH-cam !!! I've never been as grateful as I am now for TH-cam's existence. Although I was born a Muslim, Alhammdullah, this opened my mind to something that was always in front of me but that I had never seen before. dear Prof. Jeffrey, may God have mercy on you and make you a reason for the guidance of many of His people. Thank you very much indeed from the bottom of my heart.
what's a wonderful lecture. I haven't been able to gain such a logical amount of information that kept me 100% focused like this before . I am a Muslim, Alhamdolilah, but this lecture increased my faith. May God reward you, brother Jeff. May God have mercy on you in this life and afterlife جزاك الله خيرا
Don't know how many times I've watched this video but it is one of the most powerful videos on Islam on the Internet. It is so incredibly logical, answering all those questions we all have.
Amazing. His understanding of Quran is remarkable! I am a Muslim by birth and I never thought of Quran to be this deep. ALHEMDULILLAH because of this man Mr. Jeffery Lang. I cannot thank this man enough. ALLAH is great.
I'm born a muslim, this lecture of Prof. Lang had me reconsider my understanding. The truth doesn't dictate a certain race, it belongs to the same creator of all races. I'm amazed by Prof Lang , he knows exactly what he is talking about. His understanding came from scientific grounds . So much sense and logic . May Allah take your words all over world I'm so much amazed.
I have to say that I have listened to so many lectures of Muslims and non-Muslims alike about Islam and about the purpose of life defined in Islam but none of that can even come close to how Mr Jeffry Lang has explained it. It was profound and beautiful and it opened my eyes and thinking to ways I haven’t thought of before. I’ve listened to it multiple times now but each time this lecture forces me to think more deeply about my own religion. Hats off!
Yes i agree too, i'am not a sufism, but sometimes i jealous for the sufism that unferstanding it for himself, altought i don't like the concept about join to Allah and became Allah, maybe it's Philosophically or but people who less knowledge gonna missunderstood it.
الله يهديك وتدخلي في دين الإسلام وأن شاءالله نلتقي في جنات النعيم ، واقراي سورة مريم تتكلم عن كيف حملت مريم وكيف خلق عيسى وأنه نبي من الله وليس ابنه .. وتتكلم عن حال المسلمين ومصيرهم وعن رحمة الله ♥️
SOME FUN FACTS ABOUT THIS LECTURE:
1) It was recorded in 2002.
2) Hamza Yusuf said: "I found this lecture to be the most powerful I have ever heard from an American Muslim." sandala.org/blogs/uncategorized/the-purpose-of-life-in-an-hour-and-a-half
3) In 2005, Yusuf Deedat (Ahmed Deedat's son) left a recording on our voicemail after watching this lecture. He said: "As-salamu' Alaikum. I'm from the Republic of South Africa. I'm sitting right in front of the great dai Sheikh Ahmed Deedat. Amazingly some of your tapes reached his bedside this week and he watched them! One of them was of Mr. Jeffrey Lang and he spoke about the purpose of life. Well, let me tell you something, this is one of the tapes that Sheikh Ahmed Deedat truly enjoyed... Sheikh Ahmed Deedat prays for you all!"

Watch the Blogging Theology episode with Firas Zahabi in sha Allah. Amazing listen.
God Almighty can do anything yes he can forgive sins without the shedding of blood, but from the beginning of the foundation of the earth God had the salvation plan in his mind That is why they were told to offer a lamb without spot and without blemish for their sins all throughout the Old Testament Moses Abraham all of the patriarchs did this " The passover lamb" What Jesus brought was not just forgiveness, of sins but a new creation, Jesus Christ transforms our lifes so that our nature is changed from within something the law could not do. When we are filled with God's spirit there is a transformation, Jesus called this being born again or born of the spirit this cannot happen through our good works or offering the blood of animals. Jesus death on the cross was so meaningful so deep and such an expression of love muslims do not understand this. Put simply the blood of Jesus washes away our sins making us clean so that the Holy Spirit can fill us and Transformer us this won't happen by man made religion man, this will not happen by doing good work, saying many prayers, this only happens through faith in the blood of Jesus shed at Calvarys cross unfortunately Muslims are taught wrongly the Quran denies the crucifixion which shows me that the devil does not want you guys to know the truth and the way of salvation.

There’s only one TINY little problem with what you wrote above, Sir.☝️
There has never been, nor will there ever be, even the SLIGHTEST shred of evidence for the existence of the Godhead, that is, a Supreme Person or Deity.🤓
It is high time for humanity to awaken from all INANE superstitions such as the belief in a Personal God which created the Universe, would you not agree, Slave? 😩
@@TheWorldTeacher First of all, don't call me a slave. I'm not your slave. Second of all, you're right, there never will be any evidence for the existence of God but there will also never be anything to prove that there is no God. Personally, looking at this world, the universe, and the beautiful creations, I refuse to believe that all this was an accident. Even putting God aside, religion, specifically Islam in this case, teaches you how to survive this world and a big part of it is respect, which is something you lack of it seems. So what's it gonna be?

according to the most enlightened persons in history, a philosophical argument is to be AUTOMATICALLY rejected if it is composed using poor grammar and/or syntax (and, to a lesser degree, poor spelling).
After all, how would it be possible to know for certain what a person’s argument even is, unless it was written in concise and legible language?
Therefore, Slave, your INANE comment is futile. I suggest you get back to me once you have learnt to properly converse in the English tongue.
Hint: it’s called “Spell-Check” and “GRAMMARLY”. 👨🏻🎓 Look into it, Silly Sinful Slave. ✅

@@dacomevivolta4722 those people whether they're Muslims or Christians who want to just argue about their own religion and prove others wrong are not truly guided. The guided one knows that all regions preached the same message of worshipping the one God and being a righteous human being. Simple. No place for arrogance and wasteful Muslim vs Christian debates. These people are not sincere they just like to debate to fulfill their ego
@@AlfataAlfaet I agree with you that there is no place for arrogance and wasteful debates but the kind of debate that will serve to clarify the truth to people is necessary, not everyone worship God in the right way, the concept of God changes from religion to religion, and the correct way is found in 'Islam, You can read in the holy quran in the surah Ali' Imran [3:19]: "Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah, then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account. "
In surah Ali ‘Imran 85 (QS 3: 85):" And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers. "
@@dacomevivolta4722 your citation of the ayat is wrong. Islam is not just our religion as Muslims but it is also the religion of all prophets including Moses and Jesus so whoever believes in 1. God, 2. the final day and 3. does good works then he is Muslim by definition. Even Christians and Jews are not obligated to change their religion because if they are already Muslims if they follow the three pillars I stated above. It's not exclusive but inclusive and those so called shekhs and mufti are discriminators and view Islam as something they own and posses and wish everyone else burns in fire.
The comment section is still alive .Alhamdulillah
I can never forget this man he just changed my life
Alhamdulillah
many comments about this man changing muslims lives.....
shouldn’t it be God that changes lives, not man?
Jesus will change your life and he promises eternity in Heaven if you turn from your sins and follow him. Please ponder Jesus' words:
“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be (spiritually) hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But you haven’t believed in me even though you have seen me. However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them. For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will. And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day. For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day.” (John 6)

@@1ABC7799 Man I have some bad news about your name
Alright, so we see that…
None can change Allah’s words (6:34; 6:115; 18:27).
Jesus was given the gospel by Allah (57:27).
The Quran confirms the Gospels (5:48)
The Gospels contradict the Quran
So, if the Quran confirms the Gospels which says that Jesus was crucified (Matthew 27:26-31; Mark 15:15-20; Luke 23:32-34; John 19:17-18) and the Quran says Jesus was not crucified (Surah 4:157), then the Quran is false. But if it says the Gospels are false, then the Quran denies its own teaching and Islam is false.
Where is the hope of heaven found in the Quran? Where is the hope of resurrection found in the Quran? How is forgiveness of sin dealt with in the Quran?
@@Jerry2Murraygood questions…read the quran and understand it and if you can understand it then you understand islams…. Open your mind to asking sincere questions with the hope of getting the information you’re looking for not to mock and compare to Christianity
@@kas7344 - My Qs have been answered by the God-breathed scriptures. The Quran was written 600 years after the Bible. Islam considers Jesus a fraud by claiming he was not God in human flesh. Islam does not believe Jesus was crucified and died to pay the penalty for human sin - they believe someone else was crucified in Jesus' place. Islam has no means by which humans can be forgiven of their sin and be justified before God the Father.
Jesus said this about himself: Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going; so how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. If you had [really] known Me, you would also have known My Father. From now on you know Him, and have seen Him.” (John 14)

Being a Muslim for 24 years, I heard the story of Adam and Eve, memorized the verses by heart and understood them well because I am an Arab, but this is my first time hearing it this way. This was a wonderful experience that made me think more deeply about this story.

Leave islam, it is pagan cult created by Arabs.
I can prove that the Quran is false easily Just 2 chapters from the Hebrew scriptures Psalm 22 "
they pierced my hands and feet my tongue cleaves to my jaw all my bones are out of joint, the look and stare upon Me... " A perfect depiction of the crucifixion written by Nabih Daud ( King David ) 1000 years before Jesus was born. Isaiah 53 He was wounded for our transgressions bruised for our iniquities cut off out of the land of the living for the transgressions of my people was he stricken... as a lamb to the slaughter so he opened not his mouth " 600 BC
Jesus fulfilled all these Old Testament Prophecies to the letter in the New Testament and rose again from the dead according to the scriptures.
The Quran says Jesus was not crucified and never even died. God doesn't contradict himself friends. I challenge all Muslims to dare to read Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53 and Isaiah 9: 6 in any Bible you like even the Hebrew Bible the Jewish Bible, how could Christians have changed their scriptures which the Jews hold near and dear?
David and Isaiah being 2 of their main prophets?
Many Jews are becoming Christians these days when they are shown in their own scriptures the suffering messiah.
Because the Devil had a bigger plan to decieve more people. Isaiah 14 tells us "he Satan desires to be like the Most High " Read the parable of the Tares of the field Matthew Chapter 13 The Devil sows Tares among the Wheat the seeds the devil sows are false doctrines to deceive people Revelation 12:9 " Satan deceives the whole world " not just a few again Matthew 24 Jesus said " Many false prophets shall come and shall deceive many " not a few many!
Muslims don't realise they are decieved God doesn't contradict himself the Hebrew scriptures speak of the suffering messiah written hundreds and even thousands of years before Jesus was born. Psalm 22 " they pierced my hands and feet my tongue cleaves to my jaw all my bones are out of joint... "
Isaiah 53 " He was wounded for our transgressions bruised for our iniquities, cut off out of the land of the living for the transgressions of my people was he stricken... " Jesus fulfilled these and many other prophecies to the letter in the New Testament. Eyewitnesses saw him crucified and saw him after he rose from the dead. He empowered them with the Holy Ghost and sent them into all the world to preach the good news healings and miracles followed their preaching the Lord working with them. Thousands of Jews and other nationalities became Christians. Understanding that the death of Jesus was as an atonement for their sins. He is called the Lamb of God.
Then 600 years later Mohammed comes along who never met Jesus and says he never suffered and never died this is the main contradiction I am talking about.
Jesus said "Many false prophets shall come and shall deceive many "
Don't be deceived friends Jesus is the only true path to heaven all others are counterfeits no matter how nice they may seem. Jesus said "I am the true shepherd who gives his life for the sheep" through Jesus you can be filled with the Holy Ghost and enter into a new and exciting relationship with God. The love joy and peace I found can be your too.
God is good and the devil is a liar and a clever deciever.

Quran 4:157
And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, the messenger of Allāh." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.
I'm Hafiz, read the Quran thousands of times, and didn't understand it the way he did Mashallah.
Truly, this book is a miracle ✨️
May Allah bless him. He's opened up many things or me too.
Allah truly granted him with so much wisdom , this was honestly the best Islamic lecture I’ve ever heard
They say it was long, but I can't just get enough listening him. He's so sincere. I want to listen him more and more.
Agree 100%
I searched for him so long and for other lectures but seems like he just doesn’t exist since here..
if you habe other videos od him tell me
I don't have the proper words to explain how much this has stuned me. I mean, I've been a Muslim my entire life and just now I got to truly comprehensively understand and get answers for such a fundamental side of the faith. This exceptional lecture is the definition of ''enlightenment'' for me. It is ineffable how coherent and meaningful all of that was. No words can assure enough gratitude and appreciation for Dr. Jeffrey Lang.
I definitely feel the same. I am a Muslim my whole entire life as well and never truly had answers to this fundamental WHY??. I am very thankful i came across this video, and will for sure share it.
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you will know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesusa is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and which is already in the world at this time." ( I John 4).
I can prove that the Quran is false easily Just 2 chapters from the Hebrew scriptures Psalm 22 "
they pierced my hands and feet my tongue cleaves to my jaw all my bones are out of joint, the look and stare upon Me... " A perfect depiction of the crucifixion written by Nabih Daud ( King David ) 1000 years before Jesus was born. Isaiah 53 He was wounded for our transgressions bruised for our iniquities cut off out of the land of the living for the transgressions of my people was he stricken... as a lamb to the slaughter so he opened not his mouth " 600 BC
Jesus fulfilled all these Old Testament Prophecies to the letter in the New Testament and rose again from the dead according to the scriptures.
The Quran says Jesus was not crucified and never even died. God doesn't contradict himself friends. I challenge all Muslims to dare to read Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53 and Isaiah 9: 6 in any Bible you like even the Hebrew Bible the Jewish Bible, how could Christians have changed their scriptures which the Jews hold near and dear?
David and Isaiah being 2 of their main prophets?
Many Jews are becoming Christians these days when they are shown in their own scriptures the suffering messiah.

Uchiha Shisui Please tell me how critical you are towards Islam. Islam banned free thinking since it started. Islam is the core problem. Do not insult my parents you ignorant one. Islam will be exposed soon to everyone in the White world. Time for reasoning is over with Islam. It demands things but doesn't give. It demands respect but seems to disrespect all other non Islamic factors.
This man is an idiot. He is betraying his forefathers. He is a disgrace. I have seen his speech. It gave me the chills. blehg. My enemy is Islam. Islam is a doctrine who only wants to dominate like fascism. I call it Islamofascism. It is just as evil and totalitarian ideologie. It is not welcome in Europe or in all other white dominated countries. Islam is not tolerant nor it is support of democracy. So no it is not welcome. I will fight it with all I have. I am from the north of The Netherlands where these demons are not yet in big numbers. I would like to see it remain this way. I hate islam.
Im a turkish man.I was a muslim because it was our culture.I was praying but there was no answers to my questions in quran.Because of this I had been an atheist.And 7 years I stayed as an atheist.And it was diffucult to say thereis no god because its the biggest lie.And I after 7 years I began to search again.And Im muslim now alhamdlillah.And videos of this man and the other atheist converted people helped me very much.Allahu Akbar.
You could've stayed an atheist of you knew islam enough
Because people think they know islam and they say horrible stuff about it, so search the religion upon the scholars not agnorants people, May God helps us all my brother :)

I’ve been a Muslim since I was born and I completely found out new information again and again and again, I’ve never looked at the creation story from professor’s point of view, not ever. I now completely understand that chapter better now. The Quran is truly a miracle of all ages, the greatest mercy to the worlds. Allahu Akbar
Without him telling, you could see in his eyes that he truly has suffered... It's so apparent through his smile and laugh. May Allah bless him and increase him in guidance.
This is one of the greatest lectures i've ever listen to on the internet.
Be still calling for your fake God...until you discover that you are absolutely ridiculous...
+unitedware direware I couldnt agree more, Alhamdulillah this Mr. Lang helps me to understand something
Rashid El Moctar no silly God didn't give birth to a child, he blessed Mary with our savior Jesus Christ, I pray your eyes will be opened for with out the belief of the son of God there is no salvation
There is no point in trying to reason with these ignorant or close minded people. They can not see the truth even when it is staring at them. Their main weapon is the ignorance of the non muslims and the political correct culture where nobody can confront them and point out the monstrosities as it will offend them.
You want to see real hate? Read the Koran, where you will find hate filled rantings that you can not find anywhere else.
I cried watching this. I don't know why I am so stubborn and keep doing bad things. My soul cries out for information like this, it makes me very emotional.

this lecture is crazy. Mr Lang is absolutely jenius to understand the message and make links and connections between ayat and what behind it. standing applause for this professor
That's why he's professor. 👍
Exactly
I’m so happy seeing comments written just couple of hours ago. This lecture needs more recognition. Many people need to listen to this and they don’t even know it
Wow! This is giving meaning to my 2023 Ramadhan. Allah Akbar
Same here. I never come across this until this Ramadhan
He's apologizing for the extra minutes but I can listen to him all day ❤
What a tremendous brilliant mind. This changed my life.
May Allah gives you knowledge to understand Quran
This man revived my faith more than it has ever been, and I've realized how much I've been wronging myself.
when I listen any lecture given by any reverted Muslims ,then I feel shame,we never realized Islam as they do.
We are Muslims because we are born In Muslim Families and dont Struggle for the Islamic education and for Purpose of Life like they do.... They search and then they accept Islam
Muhammad Ilyas - you're right.we should do researchers like they do.
I remember when zakir naik said, he love when someone convert to islam because of it, they found the truth,, they're search the meaning.
Diffrent with us, we are born islam and sometimes we kno nothing the they.
It is because of the State of Heart.
It is not because "convert" or " born into"
Fitra of all human Islam
The evil we do takes away the light in the Heart.

Evil takes us away from God. It means we sow corruption by our own hands!

I was listening to this. I got home. Didn’t even leave the car and listen to every word this man said. And I literally teared up, this man reignited my fire and strengthened my imam from how passionately he spoke about Islam. I love this guy. I love my Muslim brothers and sisters. And I would fight on any corner of the world for you all
Thank you, and I would do the same for you in a heartbeat my brother. We are one, and we are family. Peace and love, all the way from the Southeast Asia. Assalamu'alaikum dear brother.
I have found this lecture in 2024. It's just amazing!. Thanks Islamondemand for making these videos available to the public!.
Same in 2024 benefitting even after 22 years
This video is inspiring millions of muslims and non muslims even after 13 years
Fr
I am an Arab Muslim and I was born as such and to be honest, I have read the Quran several times and never put that much thought into it, but what's really amazing about these new reverts like Prof Lang and like pastors and people that come from a strong a religious Christian background, they have these insights to bring along being exposed to what we Muslims by birth never would have stumble upon. And I believe this is what makes them strongly cherish the blessing of guidance and why they hold strongly to their faith and why they make great daees just by sharing their stories and perspectives. It's saddening to see Muslims leave their Quran on the shelf until Ramadan comes as if some don't really understand the might and transformational nature of this book that taught the early generation of the prophet's companions and their successors that truly represented and practiced and fulfilled the purpose of Islam as a way of life and as an international message to all mankind.
totally agree. imho that's because critical thinking is non existant in our societies unlike our ancestors who traveled far and wide to spread the truth to others.
Have you ever read abook called Nahjul albalagha or peak of eloquence read what it tells about God if you can arabic thats perfect if u cant try the english version Ipromiss you will never need any shaekh or mofti it will inlight your minde about islam and u will feeel shame when our brothers in islam feel happy like they getting references about islam and they chairing when Japanesee or who ever became amuslim thats greart but islam is great religion but the most of muslims never read that book i tould you about and look att things from the points and wise advices in the book look ay it u will know

I was born and lived my whole life Muslim, still Jefferey introduces me to things I have never known before...May Allah bless Islam with more people like you. Loved the lecture.
This is the best speech I’ve ever heard in a long time. This man has understood the Quran and god better than the majority of Muslims on this world. He has sought for answers and found them using his god given logic and intellect instead of being fed false information from media and believing in untruthful interpretations of Islam. The beauty of Quran is that every reader takes a different story, philosophy and guidance from it and discovers different truths. Professor has searched for the meaning and point of humanity with the existence of an omnipotent creator and he has definitely cracked the code. Much love ❤️
There's this man named Nouman Ali Khan who shares the Quran from the Language perspective, very AMAZING
From an atheist who questions everything, becomes a Muslim, have all of his questions answered.
I really felt so deeply inside and touched @ @ . Brother Jeff made a point and alhamdulillah, Quran have answered it for him. His research on the Quran was extremely astounding. He could go on to talk about it for many hours if he could!
MashAllah. That's an explanation from a Mathematician and that is how they read! Subhanallah.
May Allah Guide us all!!!!
God guides whom He wills. The perfect example.
no one explained to me the real philosophy life more clearly than this Gentleman!
May Allah have mercy on him and on all of us!
Allah u Akbar!
This is not an explanation of Ayat, rather it's heavenly inspired by Allah, Allah has opened up his heart and intellect to give this unprecedent interpretation

5 times in 3 days for me
Such underrated lecture, it should have billions of views

"The signal is independent choice" i didnt expect him interpratation it this far, subhanallah, this man really smart so genius
Dedi Clay for real- that part literally dropped my jaw because I’ve never realised it in this fashion. Alhamdulillah
Yeah me too. This parallel with ,"free will" which zakir naik says. there is no way for the disbelievers to go against the alquran except those who have closed themselves to the path of truth. those who consider themselves very great with their logic and intelligence are totally defeated in front of alquran. jefrey lang must be someone who is very loved by Allah SWT.
My whole life I watched muslim Arab Imams talking and giving lectures, but this is actually the most beautiful one by far 💙💙💙
I recommend you to watch is Quran God's word- Dr Zakir Naik. You will love it also
True
My mind is blown. I'm a practicing muslim but I've never heard this perspective before. And it's completely acceptable and correct islamically. Coming full circle, God expects us to show the same attributes that He has towards mankind, because we are a VICEGERENT on the earth. A REPRESENTATIVE of HIM.
''Towards mankind'' is two words not needed. Sorry to be pedantic. Bdw, I am equally mind blown as you.
Truly enlightening speech
Why are people rushing him off the stage? I can listen to this intellectual and wise human being forever.
The audience is very caught up with the lecture. they loved him, it's the Madam speaker because they have limited time for the lecture.
I am a Muslim. I never try to understand the word by word in Quran too deeply. But when I watch this video I start to think deeply and start feel fear and realised who we are actually in different perspective according to Quran and Hadith. Thanks God.
Being a born Muslim we take many things as granted..when we read these we just thought...yeah..this is normal...nd I am amazed how this man find enlightment from every verse of Quran... Each and every verse of Quran contains such meaning...it really strength our Iman to next level... Watching these in June 1st 2023 at 4 am...really hits different❤

It's not easy to have such lectures in under 30minutes. It's good to also attend seperate other lectures that allows more time.

Wow it's great to know that. Unfortunately in my country Iran, religion classes are just a joke! Nobody cares about what the teacher is saying, we just memorize some random stuff, write them on our tests, get a passing score and we're done with religion. At least it's been the case in all the schools I've attended.

Came back to watch this video because i just missed the Sweetness of this sermon
Don't know how many times I've watched this video but it is one of the most powerful videos on Islam on the Internet. It is so incredibly logical, answering all those questions we all have.
Reading a book that came down from heaven, you will know who your Lord is
Amazing. His understanding of Quran is remarkable! I am a Muslim by birth and I never thought of Quran to be this deep. ALHEMDULILLAH because of this man Mr. Jeffery Lang. I cannot thank this man enough. ALLAH is great.
i don't care how much time i watch this video
ill never got boring
I'm born a muslim, this lecture of Prof. Lang had me reconsider my understanding.
The truth doesn't dictate a certain race, it belongs to the same creator of all races.
I'm amazed by Prof Lang , he knows exactly what he is talking about.
His understanding came from scientific grounds .
So much sense and logic .
May Allah take your words all over world
I'm so much amazed.
I need to re-watch this again and again. Masha Allah. May Allah be pleased with Mr Jeffrey Lang
how lucky is the friend who gifted him the Quran
Indeed ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
thank you for showing me that I am not the only one who felt this way
me too, and now i have been converting to Islam for 6 month
Andrea Conger Allah has given u n this brother intelligence.May Allah guide u to Islam.

Tanto Nito welcome to islam may Allah bless u and ur generation.
May Allah bless you. When we are being sincere and true to ourselves. Allah guide us.
I have to say that I have listened to so many lectures of Muslims and non-Muslims alike about Islam and about the purpose of life defined in Islam but none of that can even come close to how Mr Jeffry Lang has explained it. It was profound and beautiful and it opened my eyes and thinking to ways I haven’t thought of before. I’ve listened to it multiple times now but each time this lecture forces me to think more deeply about my own religion. Hats off!
May Allah guide you to the right path🤍🤲🏻
Yes i agree too, i'am not a sufism, but sometimes i jealous for the sufism that unferstanding it for himself, altought i don't like the concept about join to Allah and became Allah, maybe it's Philosophically or but people who less knowledge gonna missunderstood it.
