Please read other video when prof jeff give 2 hours lecture about this, its add more things, and it will become crystal clear.
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.
This man made me understand my own religion in a way no one else did. Thank you
Exactly 😭😱😩😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️ May Allah grant him jannah al firdouas😢😢😢👍👍👍
I hope he is circumcised. then he can lead the worship
***True love = the love of God!*** God himself went to the cross for you out of love for you as a human being Philippians 2:5-8
@hannawurst6064 come out of ignorance dear
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.
Since the 1st day i found his jrny to Islam, i wld revisit this vid each time i hv a lapse in purpose
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
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 :)

Since 2019 or 2020 i watched this video the beginning of every Ramadan. Its an annual tradition now
Exactly, no matter how many times I watch this video, it feels like I am listening for the first time and enjoy it everything alhumdulillah
Same here. In every Ramadan I watch this video.
This is embarrassing.. I'm a born Muslim. Have been a Muslim for almost 25 years now.. Never reflected on Qur'anic verses like that. It would have made a world of difference. It's embarrassing, I say, because now I realize that having had something so effortlessly from the moment you're born can potentially mean not appreciating it as much as someone who's been seeking it for a long time. May God bless everyone who yearns for the truth. May God grant us all more knowledge and use us to guide those who seek guidance. Amen!
***** Exactly. Even if you're not a scholar, sometimes when you're on the outside looking in, questioning everything and striving to find what you're missing, you can bring out a surprising dimension to an idea and give it a new interpretation.
+Samirah Yousef and thts the miracle of the Quran, lots of stuff that we can essentially need libraries of books to ammass the interpretations u can think of for the verses, even individual words.
***** back to you :)
great comment sister
I also felt the same, and i also noticed how the english translation of the Quran is a little bit boor and i thought how great it would be if Dr Jeffrey or other wise people like him knew Arabic
personally the magic of the Arabic language of Quran takes my imagination to other dimensions..
+Samirah Yousef I AGREE SAMIRAH .. WHAT A WONDERFUL .. YET SIMPLE AND BEAUTIFUL EXPLANATION... ASAILIUM AILIKUM SISTER
You can tell how emotional Jeffrey got at times and how he was trying really hard to hold his tears. God bless this man.
I picked up on that as well. Got me emotional a bit also
Got me really emotional
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. ✅
Took my shahada 3 days ago, alhamdulillah 🤲🏻🤍

Mabrooook ma sha Allah
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
After 35 years nothing , then one You tube video and it all makes sense ? Amazing.
@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
الاسلام دين كاذب
@@alienpovsometimes it is like that. It’s called latent learning in psychology
@@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!
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
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)

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"

This video is inspiring millions of muslims and non muslims even after 13 years
Fr
Even after 13 years, I'd like to leave my comment here, just in case.
I'd say his story is one of the best convert stories I ever heard. I watched another video of the process that led to his conversion and I can say his struggle and denial were authentic and relatable. I can only imagine what was going through his mind.
The candid and unhinged scrutiny of his skeptical and atheistic mind, his perspective over the Quran wasn't rooted in hatred or feelings of disgust, but rather open-minded curiosity and desire for greater truth. He treaded with rationality and skepticism. It was not easy, he only followed his rationality and inquiry, but he found the truth nonetheless.
The most amazing thing was that he found the Quran perfectly coherent, brilliant, and rational while he only read the English translation. He didn't even consult the Hadith. He just scratched the surface but that was enough to drive him into the highly personal spiritual experience leading him to become a Muslim. Surely nothing would shake him as he learned the linguistic aspects, biography of Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh), and his very Hadith, bi'idzinillah.
He found an eye-opener conclusion, the formula that has defeated his atheism. This tells that even under heavy scrutiny, the surface level of the Quran could easily withstand atheistic skepticism. In the end, when nothing stands between believing in the existence of God and you can even see Him, you cannot believe in Him unless you make the choice, if God's willing.
You are right this was truly beautiful
Even as an atheist back then, this guy had better ability to understand Quran than me as a muslim born.
Karena anda kena doktrin kiai. Harus nya "afala ta'qilun" (tidakkah engkau menggunakan akal?)
Harus nya di Indonesia harus berani minta pendasaran sama kiai atau ulama. "Pendasaran nya apa?" "Analisanya bagaimana kok bisa begitu pak kiai?"
Tapi di indonesia ditelan aja, "kata kiai kita harus gini, kita harus gitu"

It is a mortal sin not to let this man speak as much as he wanted 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

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)
I am a born Muslim, familiar with the story of Adam but what Prof. said at 40:32 blew my mind! WOW. God put Adam on earth because he was ready to make independent choices! Bingo! It was always the intent, as mentioned in the Quran why he was created. But Allah put Adam and Eve in heaven until they were ready to act on their own will! SubhanALLAH!

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
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.
@@rossurquhart1238 This same Bible said that the earth is flat, and it was not satisfied with that when it said that the earth is circle , the earth is square, and the earth is like a dome.😂😂
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.
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
This man shows, that most Muslims don't even care to ask daring questions when even reading the translation. I mean Prof. Lang had an English interpretation of the Quran - and even with only that he was able to ask so many questions and engage his intellect and not just rushing over the contents, like some islamic TH-cam Superstars do. He really tried to understand the Quran as a human first and not as a devoted blind believer, like so many religious people are.
He read the Quran without any bias towards the authorship and therefore could appreatiate the Qurans majestic style, because he would not expect a human to wirte such original teachings. It is the mass indoctrinated Muslims, who put the Quran on the high shelf, so that everything in the Quran must be right, and we don't have to think even the slightest to fit the least of it in our understanding - because the Quran is beyond questioning - while the Quran demands that its reader asks questions and not take the Quran for granted, by just blindly honoring a majesty, that such blind mass don't even want to understand, because they think it is all already understood - this man proofs, that by engaging the Quran, new insights gush forth. But what do Muslims really care about it. For them the Quran is a book of rules and laws, not a book, that is able to teach and make its reader engage beyond the surface layer of understanding.
So many herd-mentality based believers read their scripture withoout even noticing anything they are reading. But it is tragic, that book with such deep philosophy is mostly engaged daily by incompetent beleivers, who think they already have discovered everything about an eternal book.
A book given from the omniscient! And they think they have pulled everything from the Quran and have every science and philosophy of the Quran discovered. How can a people be so presumptious?! Do they think, that only western sciences can disclose the miracle of the Quran, and that the Quran itself has no miracles to offer?
Who thought of this way, has truly abandoned the Quran. The miracles of the Quran are beyond the historic limits of science.
The Quran can show even more and new things, if you wished to engage it and think of the Quran as a source of real science, which require clear competence and discipline and humbleness.
The blind followers have no humbleness. They are presumptious as well and they don't care what the Quran has to offer, as long they can think "we are the winners".
They abandoned the Quran and took their low-life sources as sources to interpret this beautiful scripture - how can they call their loss a win?
Beautifully said! This is, I believe, one of the lacking of the modern Muslim world. People of the Golden Age and those eras where their true believe in faith came from reasoning and research rather than mass indoctrination through traditions like we face today, they held a good impression of the religion and became a much more of a civil society than other societies that conforms to mass indoctrinated ideologies.
Not really. There are a lot of tafsir expert, even in my country in asia, a non arabic speaker.
This is why it's very important to engage in Tafsir sessions. Most muslims have abandoned that.

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.

Salam aleykum . I woke up for Fajr Prayer and wanted to play a video that would help me sleep. Well I ended up in tears and I drank every moment of this fantastic and sincere lecture . It helped me make some changes in the way I would read quran from now on . Thank you again and may Allah 3azawajal grant you Janna ❤
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.
5 times in 3 days for me
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
Wow! This is giving meaning to my 2023 Ramadhan. Allah Akbar
Same here. I never come across this until this Ramadhan
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.
After watching this sermon 12 years ago, I was so inspired by him I became a professor today :)
MasyaAllah
Alhamdulillah
This helps me understand truth of God
Michelle my dear sister please don't ever take islam from Muslims. Read the Qur'an for yourself and you will enlightened and find the guidance. I also recommend that you listen to Dr lang more because he understood the message of the qur'an like God wanted.

@@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.
how lucky is the friend who gifted him the Quran
Indeed ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hope ALLAH grant jeffrey lang a place near prophet Muhammad Pbuh
I felt like he was like an older brother to me in the beginning of the talk, my father was and still is an alcoholic and I’m a Muslim, he used to beat my mum and he used to beat me so bad as a toddler and kid that I lost my self confidence until the age of 16, it makes you stronger tho as you get older, I pray to Allah this man gets the high place in paradise ❤
I'm sorry for what you've been through , may allah guide us all to do the good things always
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.
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.

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.

His understanding came from scientific grounds .
So much sense and logic .

I'm so much amazed.

"Do you even think??"
- The Quran.
This man is so brilliant...as a born muslim..it took me 30+ years to have same understanding like him...the miracle of hidayah for him.
And why u assume your audience is tired?...i wanna hear 3 4 hours more of your explaination...😢
Yes,
I also don't really understand how deep the meaning is. So far I probably haven't cared to delve into the meaning of verse by verse in the Quran. But this brilliant explanation gave me another clue and certainly strengthened my faith. I was also a bit sad that it seemed like he was being rushed because I ran out of time, even though I was ready to listen for 3-4 hours, I really enjoyed it. Like givibg me hidayah again when my fait is weak like now.
seek allah always. Never turn away from islam because your heart will become like a rock. Its really hard for me too the last few months. But inshallah we will win over struggle@@andriani467
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.
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
Wish those who we are born Muslim could understand the meaning of the holy book
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
whos watching this in 2021
I watch this video over n over n over
I was watch this video from other channel, before TH-cam guide me here 😀
Me 2021
What pissed me off is that this man is trying to answer one of the hardest questions in life, not only is he answering what's the point of our creation but most importantly he's answering *why do we suffer on this earth* which is a question that gave me great depression personally, and he's giving such strong and eye opening answers that I needed to hear for so long but all the workers care about is him finishing on time? He's answering the question that literally fuel your life and you really give him a note that says get off the stage when he still hasn't given us the answer to mental salvation. I mean don't you want to hear it too? Don't you want to know it too? Damn, I would've listened to a 4 hour lecture by this man when it's a subject this important give him the time he needs
SubhanAllah sis, exactly my thoughts! He had soo much to say and I wanted to hear more. Can't believe how they were hurriedly pushing him off the stage. This man figured out the answer to life all by himself, but people were more interested in something about some stupid basketball game.
i got so attached and when he received the note i was like…. how long did he take? i couldn’t even tell the time or how long i was listening i just wanted him to continue. because even though i’m a muslim since birth (alhamdul’allah) but i just loved to hear how a non muslim person is convinced to believe in Allah “swt” even though they grew up not even caring to hear from him.
i wished it was longer ❤️🩹

Maybe people should be respectful to each other and avoid writing heinous comments. If you are not a Muslim, please be respectful.
As a Muslim, I would never attack or criticise your faith. So please, keep your offensive comments to yourself.
We all have a choice in this world. Choose what faith you want to be a part of, but do not attack other faiths. May all humans have peace and acceptance towards each other.
We need imams to give moving lectures like this for friday prayers
I have great sheikh from Indonesia like this man
It's not easy to have such lectures in under 30minutes. It's good to also attend seperate other lectures that allows more time.
Bayinah tv is a good site
When a Christian has a question pastors says don't worry just have belief. Islam challenges people to seek knowledge and to expand their minds . The greatest tool on this earth is the human mind. Allah knew this.
i never understood why religious figures do that. how they expect us to just believe without reason. is it that they don't actually have the knowledge or they're too lazy to teach us
Congrats, you've found a hidden gem.
A complete lecture on Quran it was. Alhamdulillah. What a sincere job this man has done.
May Allah grant him Jannatul Firdaus.
i am a 23 years old, who was born in a muslim family but i have never been actually close to god for how much suffering i have been through, i can say that my childhood was nearly similar to Jeffery’s, what i have been through, the amount of false information i received about islam and especially as in girls humiliation and how much they emphasise them by reading verses of Quran with a wrong meaning, and now im watching this in my 23 years old because i want to know why am i existing in here, why am i existing in this life to the point my mental health is terribly damaged that i need to see therapists because of that very question of Jeffery’s, i cried… i cried so much for realising things that me as muslim never seen before, things as a muslim who lives within a muslim family, a muslim environment never taught, they didn’t teach me this. but i am happy now, i came to realisation that i am happy that i am receiving such a knowledge, a very long waited one. thank you Jeffery, thank you for whoever upload this video, and thank you Allah most importantly for the grace you gave us.
Nice, this comment is very inspiring ngl, it's very nice to hear that now you are in a better place (mindset, environment) than before.
Goodluck tho ,hope we all become strong enough to overcome any suffering without losing our faiths, since suffering is a major part of our lives and it's bound to come.
Unfortunately darling, even Muslims are in need to get a better knowledge about their religion nowadays. I'm so happy for you and I pray that you'll have the peace you ever sought
Just hang in there, most of us are in the same condition in one way or another, everyone of us is being tested....
Just stay linked with God and keep on right path doing good deeds even if all are wrong.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Adam and Moses argued with each other. Moses said to Adam. 'O Adam! You are our father who disappointed us and turned us out of Paradise.' Then Adam said to him, 'O Moses! Allah favored you with His talk (talked to you directly) and He wrote (the Torah) for you with His Own Hand.
Do you blame me for action which Allah had written in my fate forty years before my creation?'
So Adam confuted Moses, Adam confuted Moses," the Prophet (ﷺ) added, repeating the Statement three times.
Sahih Bukhari 6614
