A priest said "You can pray here, in the Church" Umar refused, and said "I fear that if I pray here, Muslims would say "This is where Umar prayed" and build a mosque on this church" And he prayed outside of the church, in Palestine you can still find "The Mosque of Umar bin Al-Lhattab" right next to the original church, both of them are still operating.

I like the fact that there were honest discussions about this, using references and knowledge without sabotaging one another. The degree of acceptance of where the discussion is heading however do ranges depends on the nature of certain culture, some find it beneficial, some find it insulting.

I am dissapointed with the fact that he didnt mentioned ethiopian which is one of the first nations to accept christianity even before europeans did , and had early interaction with first muslims even helping mohamed followers to hide in their kidgom while hiding from persecutors.
It's called the first migration , where early Muslims seeked refuge in Ethiopia because their king , who was Christian, was greatly known for his justice. I believe his name was Najashi.
Hey, Jesus has died on the cross so that (perhaps for everyone) we may be forgiven for our sins (and perhaps, there is more). Jesus rose from the dead! 🙏 Please accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through him.🙂🙂
@@Izanagi057 how are you telling someone how they fell about another, As Muslims, although we disagree with other religions, we still respect them as fellow humans.
Isaiah 14:13 (KJV) For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: Isaiah 14:14 (KJV) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. The word for ascend in Hebrew is alla. Allah is not God’s name. It is satan’s name. He is saying he will ascend above God.
many christians first met Muslims during the Prophet's time peace be upon him and many of them converted to the Truth after they found the Prophet. #exchristian ALHAMDULILLAH
even the first muslims who were persicuted were protecd by a BLACK christian king named Nages of Ethiopia. and was prophet Mhammed (pbu) who send them!
I have a Christian friend in my class (I'm in Pakistan so it's rare to find Christian cuz 97% is Muslim) and she's the kindest person in my class!

We are humans, different beliefs and ethnicities, that’s it, we should be friends and respect each other, not be racist or disrespect somebody because of faith.

Many thanks Emir-Stein Center for sharing this unknown information about the harmonious inter relationship between the two Communities.It was eye opening. Too much love from Dhaka Bangladesh.
Very interesting professor. I'd just like to mention the very first encounter of Muslims with Christian's was when warqa bin naufil a Christian businessman who explained to her cousin Khadija RA the first wife of Muhammad Saaw about the first revelation that he recieved in the cave Hira and actually acknowledged the prophecy quoting 'Injeel' of that time. But since you are a scholar on the subject matter you would already know that. But this is common knowledge among the Muslims.
Just like biblical and historical evidence proves that jesus and his apostles were vegatarians biblical and historical evidence also proves that the trinity, atonement, original sin and hell are very late misinterpretations and are not supported by the early creed hence its not a part of Christianity I pray that Allah swt revives Christianity both inside and out preserves and protects it and makes its massage be witnessed by all people but at the right moment, place and time The secred text of the Bible says ye shall know them by their fruits So too that I say to my christian brothers and sisters be fruitful and multiply Best regards from a Muslim ( line of ismail )
What an eye-opening video, just wow. Thank you, professor or anyone related to him or to the research, if you are reading this. That was an incredible, concise and scientific video. Thank you.
Wow! I never thought of it this way. I always had this roman/western perspective when viewing Christianity. I almost forgot that Jesus's followers were non romans in the beginning and lived in the Middle East. Thanks for the great video
You should talk about how Muslims went to Christian Ethiopia to get their support against heretics when Islam was very little and new. The Christians were amazed when they heard that the angel Jebraeel mentioned mother Mary in the Quran and then they gave Islams their full support and considered Islam as a continuation for Christianity.
Muslims and Christians first met at the Kingdom of Axum or or the Aksumite Empire , the King Ashamat al-Negashi gave refuge to several Muslims in the Kingdom of Aksum in 614 AD .
This was a really informative video. I did not know any of this. I'm a little mind boggled. It's significant but such information was lost, suppressed or simply no one cared about.
Years before the Prophet and his follower move from Mecca to Medina, he had given an order to his followers to move from Mecca to the Kingdom of Abbysinia (probably in current Ethiopia and Somalia) mentioning how the kingdom's king rule justly according to the Christian teaching. In Muslim tradition, when the Meccan send an emmisary to the King asking him to handover the Prophet's follower to them, the King rejects the demand after coming into knowledge of what the Prophet preach. He also famously said "The different between your religion (Islam) and my religion is no larger than this small stick". So yeah, Muslim and Christian have a long-standing history living together as a community, it's the politic that make us hate each other
Thanks for the interesting and amazing facts you shared, I'm Syrian and yes the Syriac language still used in a small village in Damascus countryside called "Ma'aloula" 🙏🌸🌷
Also the relationships between Muslims and Christians in Syria is so significant and harmonic, we live together have many memories and lovely moments together as well ❤️
Actually, there were Christians living in Mecca and Medina during the time the Prophet (s.a.w.) began his mission, some spoke Arabic as well. Around 615 some of the earliest followers sought and obtained refuge from Quraysh (ruling tribe of Medina) persecution in the Christian kingdom of Axum (Ethiopia/Eritrea). The Negus (King) of Axum refused to hand over the refuges to a delegation of Quraysh and they were able to remain for several years until it was safe to return.
The Persians and the Romans for 700 years fought each other and neither one defeated the other.. The Muslims in 4 years defeated them with an army of no more than 30,000
I am personally a Lebanese christian but not from a Syriac liturgical culture. I agree with him on the Christians and Muslims relationship is not originally a violent relation even with Greek speaking people who used to form the majority in the coastal cities and major cities in the Levant like Damascus, Homs, Aleppo, Antioch... The Christians originally had a clear seperation between the governor (Roman Emperors) and the church and the church did not have any real power. For example if an emperor used to adopt what we call today the non-chalcedonian denomination he used to persecute the others and vice versa (not always) The majority of the Roman emperors used to follow the chalcedonian denominations what we call today Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Protestants... When the Muslims came (occupied) the Levant they even received an aid from the non-chalcedonian bishop of Damascus which facilitated the fall of the city. We have little information about the Ghassanids who used to be non-chalcedonians and where local governors in the Levant and their role in the fall of the Roman rule in the province of Syria. anyways what I want to say is the early christians did not have the concept of a state religion and they used and still till today in the Arab world respects the law imposed by the rulers. The concept of religious state started in western Europe by Charlemagne who was the first king appointed by the church. The early church never appointed a king or an Emperor and should never get involved in politics.
Prof. Michael Penn, you omit to say that the Caliph had to rule over Christians first for the Muslim-Christian friendship to happen. What's differentiating Syriac Christians and Mediterranean Christians is that the Syriacs were already under Islamic rule, and the Mediterraneans were fighting to remain sovereign over their nations. Exactly the same thing happened in Spain: Jews and Christians were thriving, but they had to be under Islamic rule first.
many thanks Prof. Michael, I grew up in area where we had many Christian friends, we played togther, attended school together..never looked at each other as '' people in conflict'' yes our families did tell us to respect their faith and their church and they are ''people of the book, followers of Jesus, a mighty prophet of Islam'' .. had not the colonialist Europe disturbed the situation, no conflict would ever occured in Muslim world. Human beings are free to choose what to believe, greed destroys human relations, be it of the same faith

Which are the references (in old Syriac) that the professor talks about? What are the titles and where can we find them? (Not only his two books). Thank you in advance
I guess the first Christian who's name was "Nijashi shahabsha" the priest and the king of "Habsha" in today Ethiopia who met the Companion followers of Holly Prophet Muhammad SAWW. For the purpose of peace refuge for few years from the enemies of Mecca residents. The king granted the offer for stay with safety. MashAllah
We have more in common with each other than we do differences. There are some dark forces that want us to focus only on our differences while ignoring the fact that we are more similar to one another. We all need to be aware of that in order us to always chose peace over war .
Lets love eachother without seeing only the religions 🙏 we still are humans and love is the first mandament so love your other without seeing what their religion is .
True it's not islam symbol.. If we track the roots where n who's 1st time used that symbol, it's also true, not islamic symbol.. But crescent n star is used by islamic empires (after sahabah/companions periods) as a "nations"/empires symbols/marker.. "Knowledge is in the side of Allah" (human only use it, they never invented anything, when we said humans..thats mean all humans and all mahluk are creation of Allah)* *When some non-mooslem ask me "u mooslem, why u using apple phone or windows OS? It's a kafir made"... I just simply smiling So.. At least for me; Crescent n star is not islam symbol, but it is islam-ic empires "marking" (or we can just say it symbol).. Has nothing to do with (islam) religion but it correlated w/ the islamic authority/rulling marker.. If u go to mid east in theold cities, theres barely no differences between synagogue, church and masjid in architectural design.. Except we've got crescent n star on some of the masjid/mosques.. I came not for debates.. Just share my thoughts.. والله أعلم
A muslim can't be a muslim unless he beleives in all prophits before islam. We both worship the same god. We should always ask our god to spread peace not conflict amoung us. We both make more than 60% of the world population. Let us help weaker seqments of socities. Let only do whatever peacful and positive in our countries and ask god to quide us to the truth and understanding . Let us invest in peace not wars. I have great respect to those pioneers of researchers who only present commonality between muslims and christians.Our common enemy is the devil and ignorance . God bless us all.
Please, people need to do more research on this topic, it is too important to be lost in history! I cannot stand the toxic discourse on 'Muslims vs the West/Muslims vs Christians' anymore 😣
Thank you for the video. This definitely dove in deeper than I was originally aware of. European Christian's would seek knowledge and education from muslim lands and return as graduates in thobes, these thobes were symbols of learned people and became graduation gowns. The Christian king in Abasyinna protected muslims during their early persecution, Muhammad pbuh told his followers to seek the Christian kings protection because he knew he was a righteous man and king.
Islam conquered hearts of people , and offered unprecedented social equality unheard off during those days ,that certainly explain the fast expansion in those yearly days
The West tends to ignore the Golden Age of Islam, without which we would not be able to understand the universe as we do today. 800 years in Spain produced some of the most outstanding thinkers in history.
When Umar Al Khatab (RAA) [He was the 2nd successor to Prophet Muhammed PBUH] arrived in Palestine, he asked "Where can I Pray?"
A priest said "You can pray here, in the Church"
Umar refused, and said "I fear that if I pray here, Muslims would say "This is where Umar prayed" and build a mosque on this church"
And he prayed outside of the church, in Palestine you can still find "The Mosque of Umar bin Al-Lhattab" right next to the original church, both of them are still operating.
It is sad to see the christians/muslims arguing in the comments, you are missing the point of this video!

I'd just like to mention the very first encounter of Muslims with Christian's was when warqa bin naufil a Christian businessman who explained to her cousin Khadija RA the first wife of Muhammad Saaw about the first revelation that he recieved in the cave Hira and actually acknowledged the prophecy quoting 'Injeel' of that time. But since you are a scholar on the subject matter you would already know that. But this is common knowledge among the Muslims.
I am muslim. I pray for peace upon all my true Christian brothers ❤️
Just like biblical and historical evidence proves that jesus and his apostles were vegatarians biblical and historical evidence also proves that the trinity, atonement, original sin and hell are very late misinterpretations and are not supported by the early creed hence its not a part of Christianity I pray that Allah swt revives Christianity both inside and out preserves and protects it and makes its massage be witnessed by all people but at the right moment, place and time
The secred text of the Bible says ye shall know them by their fruits
So too that I say to my christian brothers and sisters be fruitful and multiply
Best regards from a Muslim ( line of ismail )
What an eye-opening video, just wow. Thank you, professor or anyone related to him or to the research, if you are reading this. That was an incredible, concise and scientific video. Thank you.
Wow! I never thought of it this way. I always had this roman/western perspective when viewing Christianity. I almost forgot that Jesus's followers were non romans in the beginning and lived in the Middle East. Thanks for the great video
What a wonderful perspective. Thank you so much for pinpointing Long ignored facts and dates. Beautiful layout and editing too.
Almost everything in this video is factually correct. However, it’s pronounced Muslim not Muzlim 😂
Just ordered your book, can’t wait to start reading it.
That is right, we have to grow love for everyone regardless of their religion or not, that is the true mark of people of God.
Love and peace to all, may Allah ( God ) bless who read this message while drinking green tea 👍
You should talk about how Muslims went to Christian Ethiopia to get their support against heretics when Islam was very little and new. The Christians were amazed when they heard that the angel Jebraeel mentioned mother Mary in the Quran and then they gave Islams their full support and considered Islam as a continuation for Christianity.
Muslims and Christians first met at the Kingdom of Axum or or the Aksumite Empire , the King Ashamat al-Negashi gave refuge to several Muslims in the Kingdom of Aksum in 614 AD .
In the ancient times, Muslims and Christians were the closest of people but today social media is destroying it
I takes courage to speak the truth. Thank you for this video.
If entire world's Christians and muslim become friends half of the problem will solved ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
Exceptional illustration of the truth behind the narrow approach of such important history ❤💯
This was a really informative video. I did not know any of this. I'm a little mind boggled. It's significant but such information was lost, suppressed or simply no one cared about.
God bless your efforts to plant brotherhood in Christians and Muslims
Your videos are really inspiring and it creates a harmonious relationship between two big followers of Abrahamic faiths.
Years before the Prophet and his follower move from Mecca to Medina, he had given an order to his followers to move from Mecca to the Kingdom of Abbysinia (probably in current Ethiopia and Somalia) mentioning how the kingdom's king rule justly according to the Christian teaching. In Muslim tradition, when the Meccan send an emmisary to the King asking him to handover the Prophet's follower to them, the King rejects the demand after coming into knowledge of what the Prophet preach. He also famously said "The different between your religion (Islam) and my religion is no larger than this small stick". So yeah, Muslim and Christian have a long-standing history living together as a community, it's the politic that make us hate each other
may god almighty reward and bless u amen!! finally, some beautiful truth coming off the lips of my lovely Christian brother.
Thank you for this video, it taught me a lot. I'm also looking forward to reading your books
I am muslim and I knew from childhood that the connection between Muslims and Christians is very big ✓
Thanks for the interesting and amazing facts you shared, I'm Syrian and yes the Syriac language still used in a small village in Damascus countryside called "Ma'aloula" 🙏🌸🌷
Also the relationships between Muslims and Christians in Syria is so significant and harmonic, we live together have many memories and lovely moments together as well ❤️
Thanks for the informative video guys. Keep up the good work!
Jews, Muslims & Christians have more in common than we realise…
I love how nowadays we are equal by race and religion peace for all god bless you all of you ❤️❤️❤️
Actually, there were Christians living in Mecca and Medina during the time the Prophet (s.a.w.) began his mission, some spoke Arabic as well.
Around 615 some of the earliest followers sought and obtained refuge from Quraysh (ruling tribe of Medina) persecution in the Christian kingdom of Axum (Ethiopia/Eritrea). The Negus (King) of Axum refused to hand over the refuges to a delegation of Quraysh and they were able to remain for several years until it was safe to return.
The Persians and the Romans for 700 years fought each other and neither one defeated the other.. The Muslims in 4 years defeated them with an army of no more than 30,000
I am personally a Lebanese christian but not from a Syriac liturgical culture. I agree with him on the Christians and Muslims relationship is not originally a violent relation even with Greek speaking people who used to form the majority in the coastal cities and major cities in the Levant like Damascus, Homs, Aleppo, Antioch... The Christians originally had a clear seperation between the governor (Roman Emperors) and the church and the church did not have any real power. For example if an emperor used to adopt what we call today the non-chalcedonian denomination he used to persecute the others and vice versa (not always) The majority of the Roman emperors used to follow the chalcedonian denominations what we call today Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Protestants... When the Muslims came (occupied) the Levant they even received an aid from the non-chalcedonian bishop of Damascus which facilitated the fall of the city. We have little information about the Ghassanids who used to be non-chalcedonians and where local governors in the Levant and their role in the fall of the Roman rule in the province of Syria. anyways what I want to say is the early christians did not have the concept of a state religion and they used and still till today in the Arab world respects the law imposed by the rulers. The concept of religious state started in western Europe by Charlemagne who was the first king appointed by the church. The early church never appointed a king or an Emperor and should never get involved in politics.
Prof. Michael Penn, you omit to say that the Caliph had to rule over Christians first for the Muslim-Christian friendship to happen.
What's differentiating Syriac Christians and Mediterranean Christians is that the Syriacs were already under Islamic rule, and the Mediterraneans were fighting to remain sovereign over their nations.
Exactly the same thing happened in Spain: Jews and Christians were thriving, but they had to be under Islamic rule first.
Beautifully narrated without any biased views, Than you sir
My Christian brothers and sisters need to know Islam by reading Koran-Hadith, not from media.
many thanks Prof. Michael, I grew up in area where we had many Christian friends, we played togther, attended school together..never looked at each other as '' people in conflict'' yes our families did tell us to respect their faith and their church and they are ''people of the book, followers of Jesus, a mighty prophet of Islam'' .. had not the colonialist Europe disturbed the situation, no conflict would ever occured in Muslim world. Human beings are free to choose what to believe, greed destroys human relations, be it of the same faith

The first encounter was actually at the court of Nijaashi in then Ethiopia
Which are the references (in old Syriac) that the professor talks about? What are the titles and where can we find them? (Not only his two books). Thank you in advance
I guess the first Christian who's name was "Nijashi shahabsha" the priest and the king of "Habsha" in today Ethiopia who met the Companion followers of Holly Prophet Muhammad SAWW. For the purpose of peace refuge for few years from the enemies of Mecca residents. The king granted the offer for stay with safety. MashAllah
love u ethiopians
I m Muslim. Greetings and peace to all my Brother's and sisters of Christianity.
Thanks a million for such amazingly educating upload. 🙏🥰🙇♂️
After these things, still most of Kurds do not believe Islam,
I am as a Kurdish my religion is Christian catholic.
We have more in common with each other than we do differences. There are some dark forces that want us to focus only on our differences while ignoring the fact that we are more similar to one another. We all need to be aware of that in order us to always chose peace over war .
Islam and Christianity is the same...we just have a different way. In my opinion we have to go the meaningful way. The way which make sense.
Beautifully explained and increased our knowledge.
Lets love eachother without seeing only the religions 🙏 we still are humans and love is the first mandament so love your other without seeing what their religion is .
i think leaders of our countries only want us to remember the battle between the two religions and not the peace we had
Islam is the right religion in the world.
star and crescent is NOT a symbol of Islam
True it's not islam symbol..
If we track the roots where n who's 1st time used that symbol, it's also true, not islamic symbol..
But crescent n star is used by islamic empires (after sahabah/companions periods) as a "nations"/empires symbols/marker..
"Knowledge is in the side of Allah" (human only use it, they never invented anything, when we said humans..thats mean all humans and all mahluk are creation of Allah)*
*When some non-mooslem ask me "u mooslem, why u using apple phone or windows OS? It's a kafir made"... I just simply smiling
So.. At least for me;
Crescent n star is not islam symbol, but it is islam-ic empires "marking" (or we can just say it symbol).. Has nothing to do with (islam) religion but it correlated w/ the islamic authority/rulling marker..
If u go to mid east in theold cities, theres barely no differences between synagogue, church and masjid in architectural design.. Except we've got crescent n star on some of the masjid/mosques..
I came not for debates.. Just share my thoughts..
والله أعلم
A muslim can't be a muslim unless he beleives in all prophits before islam. We both worship the same god. We should always ask our god to spread peace not conflict amoung us. We both make more than 60% of the world population. Let us help weaker seqments of socities. Let only do whatever peacful and positive in our countries and ask god to quide us to the truth and understanding . Let us invest in peace not wars.
I have great respect to those pioneers of researchers who only present commonality between muslims and christians.Our common enemy is the devil and ignorance . God bless us all.
Just tremendous information and content. Reality being told.
Keep it up
I am impressed by your amazing work keep doing it ❤️
Look forward to reading your book Prof Penn! Thanks
That video should have 1 million views at least.
Memorization of Quran words is a smart move to avoid modifications throughout the changes of times/era
Please, people need to do more research on this topic, it is too important to be lost in history! I cannot stand the toxic discourse on 'Muslims vs the West/Muslims vs Christians' anymore 😣
Thank you for the video. This definitely dove in deeper than I was originally aware of. European Christian's would seek knowledge and education from muslim lands and return as graduates in thobes, these thobes were symbols of learned people and became graduation gowns. The Christian king in Abasyinna protected muslims during their early persecution, Muhammad pbuh told his followers to seek the Christian kings protection because he knew he was a righteous man and king.
I love Christians because Allah says in the Quran that they love Muslims ❤
Islam conquered hearts of people , and offered unprecedented social equality unheard off during those days ,that certainly explain the fast expansion in those yearly days
So beautiful and informative video.Thank you Sir .May Allah bless you.
Bravo, great video. I need to read your book. Great explanation!
He said the truth...
I love the idea of peace between the people.
Thank you for those clarifications! It makes a lot of sense.
The West tends to ignore the Golden Age of Islam, without which we would not be able to understand the universe as we do today. 800 years in Spain produced some of the most outstanding thinkers in history.
