Who else watched the Moses and Jesus videos and is finishing up with this one?
basically everyone
I am also part of that group
ME ME ME!!!
I just finished watching them.
And I have to say these videos were uploaded at a good time. Literally last week I started a discussion on the Yahweh, El, Moses, Abraham, etc... and their historicity. And no one in the discussion brought up Christ or the prophet Muhammad. Because everyone was sure they existed lol
Although I remember years ago some guys had other crazy sources regarding the life of the prophet Muhammad. One of them believed the word "Muhammad" was actually used as a title for Christ. Another believed that he was from Syria/Palestine (the Levant) instead of Mecca and Medina. And another believed that he was a fabrication and didn't exist in the first place.
It's safe to say that those are fringe theories. And the academic consensus was that he existed.
Another interesting discussion (theory) is about Christ and his relation to the Pharisees. As well as the dead sea scrolls in general. I also have to add that there are many crazy theories on Christ. Like him being euhemerised myth and so on
I went to Muhammad first. I'm going to Jesus next. I'm a Biblical historian so I was pretty sure I'd already know what will be said, but I might learn something new 😋
Always great to work with you! Thanks for this collaboration!

Do a collab on the prophet Muhammad, tracking the development of his historic life and the development his belief system, which led up to the writing of the Qur'an. I put my faith in you, since I'm not quite sure if people, other than you two, could possibly create an unbiased and objective view on the topic.
@Amperoar TY I am sorry, what I've meant not the "develompent of HIS belief system", but how the process of the revelation of THE belief system correlates with the life and actions of the historic figure. What changes occurred in his lifetime during the revelation itself, which was written down.

Also SA: "Skyscraper 100 feet away from Kaaba? Well, that sounds like a great idea!"
doubt there is much of archeologic value left in Mecca, the Wahabi started destroying much of the graves and shrines including the shrine of Fastima as early as the start of the 19th century and have continued till today.
Actually the Wahabi Saudi's destroyed more cultural heritage then IS.
Not just any skyscraper at that, it's the world's 3rd tallest building (and used to be the 2nd)! It infuriates me, how there is luxury right next to a place where you have to be modest. Would it hurt them no to build the tower right next to the Kaaba when they have cities like Ryad And Jedda.
@@kamion53 Those shrines you're talking about were built by the Ottomans. The early Islamic caliphates never built shrines over graves as it's forbidden in Islam. Hence why the so called Wahhabis destroyed it. They didn't destroy graves, they destroyed shrines.

Hi! I am also Muslim and am a graduate student of history specialing in religious and ritual studies. Similar to you, I also had to grapple questions about my faith when I was studying and writing on the Islamicate world and reconciling it with history. Your preface made me at ease knowing that I am doing my best staying in objectivity but also staying in my faith. Thank you so much, and keep up the good work!
you got any other social media? I would like to discuss history with you.
May Allah increase our intellectual strength both in iman and worldly ilm.
Brother...
I don't understand what is the stuff that u both are talking about that u need to reconcile with ur faith?
We already know that prophet Muhammad went into wars for example and we have all the stories about him and his wars since forever .
Yes maybe we might see some violence in there but when we put everything there will be no problem!
Because violence is necessary sometimes. Like banu qurathia بنو قريظة incident if u put it in its historical context I don't see a problem with it
I have similar feelings. in the end the grey areas can only be affirmed by faith (or otherwise by renouncing it)
The more objective you become, the more you uncover, the more you rationalise, the less theistic you become.
I grew up in a Christian household and I've always had so many questions about Islam because of how closely and yet distantly the three (including Judaism) are connected. I found this video so informative and so helpful and I'm eager to learn more.
As a Biblical historian, what are your views on the historical Jesus and what scholarly books do you recommend for the average fella to read?

Your channel, as well as those of “Let’s Talk Religion,” “Esoterica,” and “Religion for Breakfast” do excellent work. I’m especially glad that I found yours. I’m a Christian myself (I often call myself a “heretical Protestant” somewhat jokingly), but I have a deep fascination with and love for the world’s many faiths and their histories. (And I especially love the mystical dimensions of religion.) Islam is a faith with which I’ve always felt an especially deep kinship, having studied it for almost twenty-two years. It’s excellent to see more Muslims engaging with Islamic history and it’s major figures, ideas, and movements. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber.

What about the king of Kerala India who met prophet Muhammad pbuh and embraced islam after witnessing the moon being split?
Nobody outside of muslim tradition thinks that any of those are authentic. Not even all scholars of muslim faith. None of the evidence from the Hadiths of elsewhere can even be dated close to the time it is supposed to have happened.
The example of the Sri Lankan kings's letter "arriving late" is sort of hilarious. You mean, almost as if produced by somebody who would have known Muhammad only from hearsay?

'Prophets do not come with a sword'? At the very least Joshua, David and Solomon did.
What I know, David and Solomon are not prophets, just kings according to Judaism and Christianity. I did not read the text that was referenced in the video but I understanded it as no prophet spreads his religion by sword what Joshua did not do.
According to Jews, they were kings, not prophet
@@Shahzada1prince what about Moses? He fought the amalekites and other people around those areas and also Jesus told his disciples to sell their clothes and buy swords
I checked the wikipedia, they're all considered prophets, though David and Solomon are also kings.
ETA: all considered prophets in Judaism, not sure about Christianity.
@Arif Ahmed Khan This depends a lot on how you define "prophet". In the biblical tradition, a prophet is someone who speaks with and for God. Joshua would satisfy this, but not David or Solomon, IIRC. I don't have all the scripture memorized, but I don't recall any accounts of David or Solomon ever speaking directly with God, or having God speak directly to them, but rather they were counseled (and often rebuked, esp. in David's case) by a prophet of the time.
Thank you for this, I really appreciate having a place to learn about the history of Muhammad. As a Westerner, in school, we are not given any of this information, in our educational system. I really believe that it is up to us to learn about each other's cultures so we can learn to respect each other and get along better, as Earthlings.💜🙏🏻☮️
Why would you get information in your educational system about figures like Jesus or Muhammad? You probably did have some education about the religions themselves? The religions do exist, but It's not an historical fact these 'prophets' existed. So you'll probably not hear that much about it in history class..

Super interesting, really important work. Thank you!
The whole point was to view it from modern historical standards and from unbiased account, not considering Muslim authors. Comments mentioning Hadith as sources loose the point of the video. As a Muslim we all believe that the Hadith and the knowledge of it has immense merit and are true. But the objective approach demands the researcher to be outside the argument, reporting the findings on what there is, not on what he/she thinks.
May Allah guide us all and give us toufeeq, and provide us with the understanding to follow the teaching of Prophet Muhammad SAWW in the best way possible. Ameen.
Amin
Bro you do know the whole point of hadith compilations like Bukhari was for the sole purpose of academically shifting through what was authentic and what was not? Hadiths did not come 200 years after the Death of the propht pbuh, they were there since his death, books like Sahih Muslim just collected them 200 years later when paper was freely available.
Not all Muslims believe in hadith collections, check Dr. Javad Hashmi, Mufti Abu Layth and many Muslims with sunni background. And if we bring mutazila /abadi /Ismaliis things get real complicated.
Exactly!!!! So many people complaining in the comments missed the point. UNBIASED SOURCES ONLY.

You shouldn't have "upmost respect" for a murderer slave owner and above all else a paedophile who married a 6 year old and consummated his marriage at 9
@@hgg219 Go read your bible(numbers 31:18) before lying about Islam lmao
@@hgg219
You have ignored the fact that such marriage in such age in such era was a natural matter, therefore it is clear that you are not criticizing the early marriage of a nine-year-old girl to a fifty-year-old man as much as you are keen to criticize and distort the picture of the prophet of Islam peace and blessings of Allah be upon him - and instigate others against him.
Accordingly, this undermines your credibility and unveils your false human feelings and malicious intentions under the pretext of defending the rights of woman. if you were really seeking denouncing such marriage, they should have spoken about such marriage as a general phenomenon which appeared before Islam and continued after it and would not focus their criticism on one person as if he was the one who invented such marriage or the first one who applied it or the only one who did it. prophet Muhammad - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him - was born in a society in which early marriage was something ordinary and natural, therefore, he married the way others did. moreover, his enemies, who tried to kill him, did not use such marriage as a pretext to distort his picture or instigate against him because it was an ordinary matter in such era.
The marriage in early ages was prevailing in Europe itself, especially the early marriage of kings and rulers in the twelfth century for the purpose of creating alliances guaranteeing the continuity of peace. An example for that is the empress Anias, in France, the wife of two Byzantine Emperors: Emperor Alexius Kamanis II, and the Emperor Andronikos Kamanos I, respectively.
According to (William of Tyre), Anias was just eight years old when she reached Constantine while Alexios was thirteen years old (1). Moreover, the wife of Alexios Kamanos I was twelve years old when she married and became an empress before attaining fifteen years. As for the empress of Byzantium Theodora the wife of Manwel, she was thirteen years old when she married the Prince of Jerusalem Baldwin III moreover, Margret Maria Hingaria married Izak Anglos II when she was nine years.
Also put in mind she reach and finished puberty making her by definition not a child(pre-pubescent) Read
sahih Bukhari 476.
The definition of a P3d0 is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children. I proven she was not a Child
(pre-pubescent) and her being a Adult whilst her age being young was possible during that time.

There are many restrictions that I don’t agree with in Islam, but as a Christian myself as well, I give my respects. 🙏
Criminally underrated channel. Awesome video as always ❤️❤️❤️
I'm sorry you have to receive hate in the comment section by being called Munafik, Murtad, etc. Keep up your good analytical work.
Funny thing is people who called other Muslim munafik usually is the actual munafik.
And don't forget about "fitnah'
Terrible if people jump to takfir or name-calling tbh. I love Al-Muqaddimah's channel and it has educated me to a whole other degree concerning Islamic history; however, he said some questionable stuff in other videos that are obviously based off orientalist beliefs.
One example is that he stated (using western English sources) that it was common for Caliphs to drink wine. Only if he knew, Islamically, how major of a statement that is--to claim a Caliph or any fellow muslim to doing a major sin without any reliable proof. Al-Mu'tadid (the Admin) states that they were excused to drink alcohol; however, there is nothing in the primary sources (of those time periods) that mention wine drinking. It only appears in the works of orientalists later on, the same works that tried to portray Caliph Al-Ma'mun as a homosexual (because he didn't fool around with the Harem women as much as others). Also, as Al-Mu'tadid rightfully mentioned, Caliphs used to lead the Friday Prayer for the muslims. Now, any muslim with a lick of knowledge in jurisprudence would know that the consuming of alcohol nullifies prayer for forty days, so how could the Caliph lead the prayer, with thousands following him, if he had drank the very previous nights?
Anyways, that is my only critique, there may be one other, concerning this account; however, perfection belongs to Allah (swt) and I hope that Al-Mu'tadid or the owner of this channel will fix this mistake.
Most of the comment section is literally just praise.
@Amperoar TY So ur saying that liberal muslims are part of the sect that killed Ali?

big respect for researching this objectively. many times it can be frustrating how little space islam leaves for non-religious interpretation
There are plenty of Muslim researchers who are open to both religious and non-religious interpretations and ideas. From the sunni community, I can name Mohammed Hijab, Hamza Tzortzis, Omar Suleiman and many others. A researcher named Nouman Ali Khan recently did a series comparing the story of Prophet Joseph in the Bible and the Quran. Also, I follow a shi’i scholar named Sayyed Kamal Al-Haydari who studies both secular and religious, also sunni, shi’i, sufi etc, sources. It’s too bad his lectures are only in Arabic and aren’t translated yet. You would have a hard time finding them because main stream academia promotes only the conservative and strict scholars. That goes for christianity and atheism as well.
I don't think you've been paying attention to all the academic research that has been going on about Islam and Islamic history for a long time.
Edit: This research is being/has been carried out by Western secular academics. However you're not gonna find their work with flashy TH-cam videos. You gotta pick up a few books.
Yes that’s true, but I personally think it’s because us Muslims believe that the Quran was a direct source from Allah himself, and therefore it is good to not disagree with it, as it increases our faith
"Non-religious ", every and each conquered area and people were assimilated in Islam and Muslims. All research was started by translating Greek and Latin works into Arabic and Persian.

After finishing the video, I think you are very dismissive of hadith reports on his life, yes most of the original hadith records were physically lost, but that ignores the fact the main way of transmitting books at the time was oral, and since thousands of students would memorise the hadiths from the original author, even if some got some of it wrong when recording it in a book, the error would be found quickly when comparing it with other sources, Abdullah bin omar recorded hadiths during the lifetime of the prophet, many of which his servant nafi' learned, and malik bin anas was a student of nafi', so only two men came before him when he recorded hadiths in his book al-muatta'(I've butchered the spelling) and he wasn't the first one to record hadith, many earlier sources recorded it, yes the original records are gone, but again physical writing down of books was considered a secondary way of saving them, memorising them was the main way, and because thousands of people did it, the chances a mistake would go unnoticed are low, especially how the prophet promised severe punishment for those who lie on his behalf, people were afraid of making mistakes when writing those hadiths down, and all the narrators of authentic hadith are known people who scholars of hadith know their names, background, knowledge, capacity for memorisation, throughout a very detailed process, even if it wasn't 100% correct, dismissing it would be like dismissing any record on Alexander the great's life because all surviving records are after his time and all of them were written by his successors who needed political legitimacy so they obviously didn't give a very accurate record, but that doesn't mean we can just dismiss it and say we know nothing about his life
Right, The hadiths are the more reliable source of History ever. and it's one pf the major sciences of the Islamic religion.

100% Accurate. Only difference being that people actually spent the time to filter through the dodgy narrations thousands of years ago for the life of the Prophet(SAW)
We have sources for alexander who wrote his history during his time
To me being a Moroccan muslim the fact that the arabs somehow united and reached as far as i live and spain just show that the prophet lived because he is the only one capable of doing such a task of uniting them
And Morocco was founded by a direct descendant of the prophet born in Mecca Idriss the first
@@petiteexplication6249 Idriss was also just a minority of who ruled a majority of a land that wasn't called Morocco till far later
The truth is that the Arabs united before the Prophet Muhammad against the Persians in the Battle of Dhi Qar in Iraq
@@zakback9937 yes but thats not the subject here i just wanted to show that there are direct descendants of him

ive gone down a fun rabbit hole of information today and ive ended up here, and im glad i did! its a very interesting area of research, and i hope you're proud of yourself even if it was challenging for you c:
really beautfiful visuals too !
Amazing channel, people need this approach of understanding how amazing their prophet is, and strengthen their foundation of islam
Always good to see a new video from you, I swear I learn something new with each video! I commend your approach with this subject and your ability to take a objective approach to it.
I hope you have a good day man and keep making these awesome videos!
The first hadith collection was done by imam malik.Imam malik was born in 93 A.H and died in 179A.H so not after 200years!He even met nafi was an ex slave of hazrat abdullah bin umer who was the son of hazrat umer.The writing of the hadith collection by imam malik had been started at around 163A.H.
This is the problem.... He somehow missed these Sources.🙏
And he dismissed going into the science of hadeeth collection. The strength of the memory of the Arabs, the rigorous testing of hadith b4 they were accepted or even when written how they were graded according to their authenticity. How literally every authentic hadeeth has a chain of narrators going back to the prophet SAW and how studying these narrators and their reliability is a science of its own which became well established not long after the death of the Prophet
@@zahraaghaswala This my friend is called post-colonial inferiority complex where a person only finds stuff written by the westerners as reliable.Sad reality.Our sahih hadith have chains going back to the Prophet(PBUH).Whereas western writtings on average rarely have chains going back to a specific person
I suspect it wasn't included because it wasn't a history of Muhammad life. But writings on Islamic law.
@@ZombieBraintrust Whoever has studied hadith knows that it contains Islamic laws and Islamic practices but ALSO about the life of the Prophet.There are so many event of the Prophet present in muwatta of imam malik which was the first hadith collection.Also in other sahih hadith so yeah I dont think that is the reason bro
Belief is personal and I am so glad you approached your belief and your scholarship

@@imanatafridi7212 cool story bro, you really good with fiction stories, I know kids usually have a big imagination where they imagine bukhari said something he didn't, and imagine abu dawood said something he didn't say, kids and their imagination, also how will jesus punish every Muslim ever when he couldn't even defend himself against some Jewish soldiers, a god who can't defend himself from being literally killed then crucified is no threat to me.
@@imanatafridi7212 it’s amazing how non muslims try to tarnish Islam with hilariously and utterly false claims. You mentioned Jesus, so I’m guessing that you also know about the Biblical story in which Lot impregnates both his daughters! Genesis 19:30 to 19:37. Have fun explaining that
@@Goodguy507 As a universalist, I doubt that all Muslims will be punished. But all humans will be judged. Sorry for the weirdo attacking you though. He's a vocal minority.
Your attack on Christianity however utterly fails.
A willing sacrifice for the sake of many isn't the same as fighting. This is similar to a strawman. You misrepresent the crucifixion as a failed rebellion (Jesus wasn't as violent as Mohamed. Even Muslims should grant that The Prophet Isa was peaceful) when in reality it was a simple means to an end. This end being the salvation of humanity.
Jesus was Pacifistic and had no intention of harming his creations. Why would a pacifist fight against a willing sacrifice? Why would a Father harm his ignorant and angry kids whom he knows doesn't know any better?
It's like saying you have no respect for a fire fighter who sacrificed his life to save people from a fire because he died in it by willingly putting his life on the line.
This is a misunderstanding of Christian Theology on your part.
Granted, I don't hold to fast to penal substitution as I'm far more a fan of Christus Victor.
By Christs resurrection, he has permanently defeated death.
That at least calls for grand praise. Hence, the Christian's believe and hope.
Let us agree to respect each others religions.
@@monarchblue4280 He never classified Jesus' crucifixion as a failed rebellion. Simply that as per your bible, God was humiliated by pagans. God the ALL MIGHTY. He can not be humiliated.
"Jesus wasn't as violent as Muhhamed."
If you Believe Jesus is literally God, then this is false. God punishes people severely and orders his followers to violently attack his enemies in the Old Testament.
" Why would a Father harm his ignorant and angry kids whom he knows doesn't know any better? "
In all Abrahamic traditions, God literally floods the entire world to punish the Corrupt. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are smited for their wickedness. Humanity DOES know better because they received revelation from God. They cannot claim ignorance.

How is that against Islam ?
Does it make sense that taking only *non-muslim* sources to account and ignoring all Muslim sources? Logically It doesn't to me. Why would I look for references in sources where Muhammad wasn't? It's like trying to find oxygen in Mars when you already know there's no oxygen in Mars. In fact, Muslim souces are most reliable compared to all non-muslim sources as Muslim sources contain rich literature.
Thank you so much for taking the time and making the hard effort to make these objective, rational videos about your tradition and faith.
In UsefulCharts's video he outlined the historical method where the most compelling evidence would be personal artifacts or works from the subject historical figures. It's a bit disappointing that this is not applied uniformly to the video series, and you pretty much skipped right to the third option. As others have pointed out, Muhammad PBUH has dispatched diplomatic correspondence to both Rome and Persia, with His seal, and those still exists.
Exactly. There are a number of his letters still preserved. And the physical evidence of existence can't be ruled out this easily. Artifacts, clothes, swords, and other things related directly to him still exists. And his grave's location is well known and not speculated.
@@UnusualxD Sure and Christians have pieces of the cross, nails and the Cup Jesus drank from, Not.
All presumed "artifacts" left by prophet Muhamed, are not tested, not by lack of trying, permission to do so was not granted.
The Muslims deemed it inappropriate to “examine” it. Even saudi don’t allow any excavation in makkah or medina.

I am not a religious person of any faith, however I love your videos. I love to learn about the historical elements of religions
Although I am not a Muslim, I do believe that Muhammad existed. I would be rather shocked if he did not exist. As for the accounts of what all happened in his life, it would be interesting to know what is and is not true about his actual life.
@@user-fp2sp8kl9y One has to take a leap of faith though when it comes to the supernatural aspects of his story and whether or not you believe that such things are possible. For example, one can believe that Muhammad existed without also believing that angels exist.
@@halaldunya918 It would be really interesting to know who these various religious figures really were as I only see a few possibilities for any religious prophet. If we assume that a religious prophet existed, are we limited to the following interpretations of his life? 1) That this person really had some kind of divine connection. 2) That the person genuinely believed that he had a divine connection but was mistaken in that belief for whatever reason, be it having been manipulated by others, the result of drug use, mental illness, etc. 3) That the person was deliberately lying about their prophetic or messianic role to gain influence over others for nefarious purposes. 4) That the person was deliberately lying about their prophetic or messianic role for what he believed to be a greater good.

For the algorithm. Many thanks for your trailblazing work
Out of the three videos, I have the most respect for this video as the honesty and effort to be objective could be argued to be more difficult for the creator.
Prophet Muhammad said to speak the truth and that you did.
Exactly lol. His whole video was citing different sources that discussed if Muhammad S.A.W existed or not. He also stated in the beginning that he is a Muslim that uses a liberal method to conduct his research and understand Islamic history. There is nothing wrong with this method of research. But unfortunately, some Muslims (especially those that didn't watch the whole video) would start a flame war.
@@iceinmyveins998 his method is neither objective nor neutral because it relies on a naturalist method.
He tried to immunise himself from critique by playing the victim card and depicting his critics as unintellegent and uninformed brutes.
He made the false statement that hadith were only composed 200 years after the death of the Prophet.
He depicted everything from Muslim as biased whereas citation from enenemies of Islam and competing religions are according to him unbiased.
He dismisses the offspring of the Prophet and so.

This series was enjoyable and very informative. It's a shame that you're getting hate for your installment in the comments from who don't understand how historical methodology is done. They appear to just be the vocal minority based on the like and dislike ratio. I'm definitely subscribing to your channel because you cover very interesting topics and you try your best to be unbiased.
Really love your videos, Al Muqaddimah. Thanks man.
One thing I love about this faith is that it accepts the idea that many prophets existed, and not just one. I learned that from this channel. As a student of Hermeticism and Alchemy, I really appreciate that.
From a historical perspective, and through a Hermetic lense, one must admit that the prophets Muhammad, Moses, Solomon, Imhotep(Thoth/Hermes), and Jesus were, at the *least,* magicians/alchemists/masters of the Craft. I'm super excited to learn more!

I'm incredibly amazed at both the honesty and sensibility of the disclaimer and of the sources presented.
A lot about Islam ends up being ignored or made to fit notions of religion in the Jewish or Christian senses, and that can end up creating some nonexistent parallels while real connections are considered too complex to teach at a public school level. This channel fixes that, at least for me.
I really admire your objectivity. I am an American that has been living in Islamic countries for 17 years and as you know, most believers dare not consider anything outside standard dogma. Unconventional thinking or discussions can barely take place among people. It is so sensitive spiritually to most Muslims that any intellectual mentions can start an angry encounter. There is no off-path discussions allowed for most. I found you from Let‘s Talk Religion and I have happily subscribed. Thank you. Jude of Egypt
Great video! It’s wonderful to see Muslims interested in the history of their faith from a non-apologetic perspective. It sound like a really exciting project.
