@@monoth4555 agreed. 1924 when the Ottoman empire was defeated the General of Britain sent out a letter to all the other nations saying we must unite to never allow them to be able to be one again. Ever since they have been adding borders as they wish to thw muslim lands. U know...the good ol 'divide and conquer' method. Muslims we're the ones who made the first hospital, brought womens rights, the first university, created tools used in operation theaters by surgeons TODAY, optics u name it. While there were ppl throwing their feces out the window in England the muslims were making discoveries in the sky using the Quran and Sunnah as a guide and inspiration. The history taught to kids today in the west is absolutely void of this and it's sad bcuz we can learn so much.

@Dhuku .10 jihad is a part of the religion snowflake and denying this would be very problematic Of course this isn't a call to massacre innocents in the streets of London or New York etc
JazakAllah Ustaz. Please don't stop giving lectures like this, we are learning a lot. May Allah give you the companionship with our beloved prophet (s.a.w) and the sahabas in the highest level of Jannah.

I'm a Christian and I have two questions for my Muslim brothers and sisters. How could allah allow his words (The Torah & the Bible) to be corrupted? And where in the Qur'an does it say that the Bible has been corrupted? Blessings & peace
Salam, Allah never promised to preserve the past messengers revelation as it was only due to their people and time. Hence their mission of conveying the message was fulfilled. Whereas the Quran will be preserved as it’s for mankind till Day of Resurrection. Also Quran has the same theology/prophet narratives of what was conveyed from them. Quran (2:76-2:80) Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran - When they meet the believers they say, “We believe.” But in private they say ˹to each other˺, “Will you disclose to the believers the knowledge Allah has revealed to you,1 so that they may use it against you before your Lord? Do you not understand?” - Do they not know that Allah is aware of what they conceal and what they reveal? - And among them are the illiterate who know nothing about the Scripture except lies, and ˹so˺ they ˹wishfully˺ speculate. - So woe to those who distort the Scripture with their own hands then say, “This is from Allah”-seeking a fleeting gain! So woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they have earned. - Some of˺ the Jews claim, “The Fire will not touch us except for a number of days.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Have you taken a pledge from Allah-for Allah never breaks His word-or are you ˹just˺ saying about Allah what you do not know?” www.islamicstudies.info/tafheem.php?sura=2&verse=78&to=79
Damascus up until the twelfth century was a marvelous city unparalleled in its high culture and refinement of character of the people. There were dozens of learning centres(madrasas) and students and scholars from around the muslim lands would come to study the rich Islamic texts on a range of disciplines. The ethics of people were such that it would be incredible to even conceive of such a level of adab in the people. They walked in the streets with their hands behind their backs and greeted each other by bowing and addressing people as sir or master(syed) and saying "here is your servant",etc. It has been so praised that people used to call it "paradise on earth". Just imagine how wonderful such a society would be. SubhanAllah
I totally agree with Ustadh Adnan and strongly feel the need of more such schools and colleges which are built by Muslims and run on the Islamic curriculum and have rules and guidelines according to Islamic principles where there is no intermingling of sexes but proper segregation and veiling. May Allah SWT guide the Ummah.
Great lecture much needed one on the topic of crusades. I think adnan brother you should also be making videos in urdu language. There are millions and millions of urdu speaking people in the sub continent
Sherkoh means "Mountain Lion" in Kurdish. Salahadin had a great father, I'm surprised you didn't mention him. One day when Salahadin was a kid, he played with some kid's. His father went to him and told him, son I didn't made you to play game with kids, I made you to save Quds one day. Then Salahadin stopped playing. Later, his father play's one day with him and Salahadin gets injured, but he didn't cry. His father think it is quite strange and asks him why he is not crying because of his injurie. Salahadin answers his father and says, " He who saves Quds, must not cry".
Asalamualikum brother Adnan. Always wait to listen your new works particularly historical lesson. pls make videos regularly. may Allah SWT rewards you.
Saladin made many preparations to defend Jerusalem, he even demolished city of Askelson and brought its garrison into Jerusalem to defend it. what made matters more difficult for Richard was that Crusader controlled lands were no longer connected by land.
The world's first Industrial revolution was going to occur in the Islamic Mughal India's Bengal (which include today's Bangladesh), a region which already signalled the Proto-industrialisation. But it occured in England after the British conquest of Bengal.
Most Influential Person in History by Michael H. Hart The 100, a Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History by Michael H. Hart Muhammed #1 “My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels. Of humble origins, Muhammad founded and promulgated one of the world's great religions, and became an immensely effective political leader. Today, thirteen centuries after his death, his influence is still powerful and pervasive. The majority of the persons in this book had the advantage of being born and raised in centers of civilization, highly cultured or politically pivotal nations. Muhammad, however, was born in the year 570, in the city of Mecca, in southern Arabia, at that time a backward area of the world, far from the centers of trade, art, and learning. Orphaned at age six, he was reared in modest surroundings. Islamic tradition tells us that he was illiterate. His economic position improved when, at age twenty-five, he married a wealthy widow. Nevertheless, as he approached forty, there was little outward indication that he was a remarkable person. Most Arabs at that time were pagans, who believed in many gods. There were, however, in Mecca, a small number of Jews and Christians; it was from them no doubt that Muhammad first learned of a single, omnipotent God who ruled the entire universe. When he was forty years old, Muhammad became convinced that this one true God (Allah) was speaking to him, and had chosen him to spread the true faith. For three years, Muhammad preached only to close friends and associates. Then, about 613, he began preaching in public. As he slowly gained converts, the Meccan authorities came to consider him a dangerous nuisance. In 622, fearing for his safety, Muhammad fled to Medina (a city some 200 miles north of Mecca), where he had been offered a position of considerable political power. This flight, called the Hegira, was the turning point of the Prophet's life. In Mecca, he had had few followers. In Medina, he had many more, and he soon acquired an influence that made him a virtual dictator. During the next few years, while Muhammad s following grew rapidly, a series of battles were fought between Medina and Mecca. This was ended in 630 with Muhammad's triumphant return to Mecca as conqueror. The remaining two and one-half years of his life witnessed the rapid conversion of the Arab tribes to the new religion. When Muhammad died, in 632, he was the effective ruler of all of southern Arabia. The Bedouin tribesmen of Arabia had a reputation as fierce warriors. But their number was small; and plagued by disunity and internecine warfare, they had been no match for the larger armies of the kingdoms in the settled agricultural areas to the north. However, unified by Muhammad for the first time in history, and inspired by their fervent belief in the one true God, these small Arab armies now embarked upon one of the most astonishing series of conquests in human history. To the northeast of Arabia lay the large Neo-Persian Empire of the Sassanids; to the northwest lay the Byzantine, or Eastern Roman Empire, centered in Constantinople. Numerically, the Arabs were no match for their opponents. On the field of battle, though, the inspired Arabs rapidly conquered all of Mesopotamia, Syria, and Palestine. By 642, Egypt had been wrested from the Byzantine Empire, while the Persian armies had been crushed at the key battles of Qadisiya in 637, and Nehavend in 642. But even these enormous conquests-which were made under the leadership of Muhammad's close friends and immediate successors, Abu Bakr and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab -did not mark the end of the Arab advance. By 711, the Arab armies had swept completely across North Africa to the Atlantic Ocean There they turned north and, crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, overwhelmed the Visigothic kingdom in Spain. For a while, it must have seemed that the Moslems would overwhelm all of Christian Europe. However, in 732, at the famous Battle of Tours, a Moslem army, which had advanced into the center of France, was at last defeated by the Franks. Nevertheless, in a scant century of fighting, these Bedouin tribesmen, inspired by the word of the Prophet, had carved out an empire stretching from the borders of India to the Atlantic Ocean-the largest empire that the world had yet seen. And everywhere that the armies conquered, large-scale conversion to the new faith eventually followed. Now, not all of these conquests proved permanent. The Persians, though they have remained faithful to the religion of the Prophet, have since regained their independence from the Arabs. And in Spain, more than seven centuries of warfare 5 finally resulted in the Christians reconquering the entire peninsula. However, Mesopotamia and Egypt, the two cradles of ancient civilization, have remained Arab, as has the entire coast of North Africa. The new religion, of course, continued to spread, in the intervening centuries, far beyond the borders of the original Moslem conquests. Currently it has tens of millions of adherents in Africa and Central Asia and even more in Pakistan and northern India, and in Indonesia. In Indonesia, the new faith has been a unifying factor. In the Indian subcontinent, however, the conflict between Moslems and Hindus is still a major obstacle to unity. How, then, is one to assess the overall impact of Muhammad on human history? Like all religions, Islam exerts an enormous influence upon the lives of its followers. It is for this reason that the founders of the world's great religions all figure prominently in this book . Since there are roughly twice as many Christians as Moslems in the world, it may initially seem strange that Muhammad has been ranked higher than Jesus. There are two principal reasons for that decision. First, Muhammad played a far more important role in the development of Islam than Jesus did in the development of Christianity. Although Jesus was responsible for the main ethical and moral precepts of Christianity (insofar as these differed from Judaism), St. Paul was the main developer of Christian theology, its principal proselytizer, and the author of a large portion of the New Testament. Muhammad, however, was responsible for both the theology of Islam and its main ethical and moral principles. In addition, he played the key role in proselytizing the new faith, and in establishing the religious practices of Islam. Moreover, he is the author of the Moslem holy scriptures, the Koran, a collection of certain of Muhammad's insights that he believed had been directly revealed to him by Allah. Most of these utterances were copied more or less faithfully during Muhammad's lifetime and were collected together in authoritative form not long after his death. The Koran therefore, closely represents Muhammad's ideas and teachings and to a considerable extent his exact words. No such detailed compilation of the teachings of Christ has survived. Since the Koran is at least as important to Moslems as the Bible is to Christians, the influence of Muhammed through the medium of the Koran has been enormous It is probable that the relative influence of Muhammad on Islam has been larger than the combined influence of Jesus Christ and St. Paul on Christianity. On the purely religious level, then, it seems likely that Muhammad has been as influential in human history as Jesus. Furthermore, Muhammad (unlike Jesus) was a secular as well as a religious leader. In fact, as the driving force behind the Arab conquests, he may well rank as the most influential political leader of all time. Of many important historical events, one might say that they were inevitable and would have occurred even without the particular political leader who guided them. For example, the South American colonies would probably have won their independence from Spain even if Simon Bolivar had never lived. But this cannot be said of the Arab conquests. Nothing similar had occurred before Muhammad, and there is no reason to believe that the conquests would have been achieved without him. The only comparable conquests in human history are those of the Mongols in the thirteenth century, which were primarily due to the influence of Genghis Khan. These conquests, however, though more extensive than those of the Arabs, did not prove permanent, and today the only areas occupied by the Mongols are those that they held prior to the time of Genghis Khan. It is far different with the conquests of the Arabs. From Iraq to Morocco, there extends a whole chain of Arab nations united not merely by their faith in Islam, but also by their Arabic language, history, and culture. The centrality of the Koran in the Moslem religion and the fact that it is written in Arabic have probably prevented the Arab language from breaking up into mutually unintelligible dialects, which might otherwise have occurred in the intervening thirteen centuries. Differences and divisions between these Arab states exist, of course, and they are considerable, but the partial disunity should not blind us to the important elements of unity that have continued to exist. For instance, neither Iran nor Indonesia, both oil-producing states and both Islamic in religion, joined in the oil embargo of the winter of 1973-74. It is no coincidence that all of the Arab states, and only the Arab states, participated in the embargo. We see, then, that the Arab conquests of the seventh century have continued to play an important role in human history, down to the present day. It is this unparalleled combination of secular and religious influence which I feel entitles Muhammad to be considered the most influential single figure in human history.”
Assalaam malaikum Rahmatulla wa barakatu Dear brother shiekh Adnan Brother ive been looking for you so long Allhamdulilah i found you May Allah bless you brother Ameen. From London🤲
Thank you so much, there are so many of us that feel so close to you through your lectures yet have never met you. We can only hope to meet you in the next life inshallah. I found it really interesting that such a giant of Islam was reluctant to take power. I thought of the humility of the Prophets Muhammad and Yusuf (peace and blessings upon all the prophets); despite their rise to positions of power and responsibility. It is said that the best leaders are those not driven by material gain or ego but rather by the welfare of those that they serve; thus any apprehensiveness illustrates their comprehension of the magnitude of responsibility.
SubhanAllah I read about sultan Salahuddin in this book titled Saladin by John Man. It is a nice book and a short one as well which all people can read if they don't like reading thick gigantic books.
IMPORTANT NOTE. in bible oldest scripture i think, Christians can see on the nehemiah 8.2-8, the previous nations prayed exactly like the muslims pray in mosque, reading from their revelations in jamaat, lifting hands when say God is greater (allahu akbar), saying amen, bowing down n head to the ground..Where did they get this description of prayer from? Unfortunately they don't pray like that.
Crusaders are not thing of past. They are in present modern time preparing for another crusade ( final one). Most of muslim not aware about the background of their rich past. We are only chasing our career Good lecture by Adnan sir Thank u for spreading awareness about these things
This is more informative than the biased rubbish we were taught in school. It was always a white Christian man that was superior. Never realised the brainwashing till I came across brother Adnan and shabir Yusuf from speakers Corner? Jazakallah khairun.
Saladin was an Ashari. I am pretty sure Salafis hate on him for being an Ashari despite reconquering the Holy Lands. I would like to know Adnan Rashids view of this.
To demonstrate the Brotherhood of Islam, Salahadin-al-Ayub was not even Arab, He was a Kurd from Iraq. To answer your question on how to battle Islamaphobia, we have to gain some sort of influence of the medium of communication (media}. Until the media is in the hands of the enemies of Islam, we'll never be successful. Modern warfare today is not so much a physical war but a war to gain control of the thinking of the masses.
The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth: Such Is the sworn oath given in the English court of Law. What it means: 1. That you tell the truth that is you as witness. 2. That you tell the whole truth without leaving any truth out. [and] 3. You don’t add anything extra to the truth that you have witnessed. History is bias by the different sides therefore independent witness evidence is essential for clarity. Stories from within a group become that that is that which is as general gossip or hearsay.
Official written copy by Uthman The Quran was originally revealed in Quraishi dialect of Arabic. But to facilitate the people who speak other dialects, in their understanding and comprehension, Allah revealed the Quran finally in seven dialects of Arabic. During the period of Caliph Uthman (third successor to the Prophet) differences in reading the Quran among the various tribes became obvious, due to the various dialectical recitations. Dispute was arising, with each tribe calling its recitation as the correct one. This alarmed Uthman, who made an official copy in the Quraishi dialect, the dialect in which the Quran was revealed to the Prophet and was memorized by his companions. Thus this compilation by Uthman's Committee is not a different version of the Quran (like the Biblical versions) but the same original revelation given to the Prophet by One God, Allah. Narrated Anas bin Malik: Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman came to Uthman at the time when the people of Sham (Syria) and the people of Iraq were waging war to conquer Armenia and Azherbijan. Hudhaifa was afraid of their differences in the recitation of the Quran, so he said to Uthman, 'O chief of the Believers! Save this nation before they differ about the Book (Quran) as Jews and Christians did before'. So Uthman sent a message to Hafsa saying, 'Send us the manuscripts of the Quran so that we may compile the Quranic materials in perfect copies and return the manuscripts to you'. Hafsa sent it to Uthman. 'Uthman then ordered Zaid bin Thabit, 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, Said bin Al-As and Abdur Rahman bin Harith bin Hisham to rewrite the manuscripts in perfect copies. Uthman said to the three Quraishi men, 'In case you disagree with Zaid bin Thabit on any point in the Quran, then write it in their (Quraishi) tongue'. They did so, and when they had written many copies, Uthman sent to every Muslim province one copy of what they had copied and ordered that all the other Quranic materials whether written in fragmentary manuscripts or whole copies, be burnt…" [29] Again a very stringent criteria was set up by this Committee to prevent any alteration of the Revelation. 1. The earlier recension (Original copy prepared by Abu Bakr) was to serve as the principal basis of the new one. [30] 2. Any doubt that might be raised as to the phrasing of a particular passage in the written text was to be dispelled by summoning persons known to have learned the passage in question from the Prophet. [31] 3. Uthman himself was to supervise the work of the Council. [32] When the final recension was completed, Uthman sent a copy of it to each of the major cities of Makka, Damascus, Kufa, Basra and Madina. The action of Uthman to burn the other copies besides the final recension, though obviously drastic, was for the betterment and harmony of the whole community and was unanimously approved by the Companions of the Prophet. Zaid ibn Thabit is reported to have said: "I saw the Companions of Muhammad (going about) saying, 'By God, Uthman has done well! By God, Uthman has done well!" [33] Another esteemed Companion Musab ibn Sad ibn Abi Waqqas said: "I saw the people assemble in large number at Uthman's burning of the prescribed copies (of the Quran), and they were all pleased with his action; not a one spoke out against him". [34] Ali ibn Abu Talib, the cousin of the Prophet and the fourth successor to the Prophet commented: "If I were in command in place of Uthman, I would have done the same". [35] Of the copies made by Uthman, two still exist to our day. One is in the city of Tashkent, (Uzbekistan) and the second one is in Istanbul (Turkey). Below is a brief account of both these copies: 1. The copy which Uthman sent to Madina was reportedly removed by the Turkish authorities to Istanbul, from where it came to Berlin during World War I. The Treaty of Versailles, which concluded World War I, contains the following clause: 'Article 246: Within six months from the coming into force of the present Treaty, Germany will restore to His Majesty, King of Hedjaz, the original Koran of Caliph Othman, which was removed from Madina by the Turkish authorities and is stated to have been presented to the ex-Emperor William II". [36] 'This manuscript then reached Istanbul, but not Madina (Where it now resides)'. [37] 2. The second copy in existence is kept in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. 'It may be the Imam (master) manuscript or one of the other copies made at the time of Uthman'. [38] It Came to Samarkand in 890 Hijra (1485) and remained there till 1868. Then it was taken to St.Petersburg by the Russians in 1869. It remained there till 1917. A Russian orientalist gave a detailed description of it, saying that many pages were damaged and some were missing. A facsimile, some 50 copies, of this mushaf (copy) was produced by S.Pisareff in 1905. A copy was sent to the Ottoman Sultan 'Abdul Hamid, to the Shah of Iran, to the Amir of Bukhara, to Afghanistan, to Fas and some important Muslim personalities. One copy is now in the Columbia University Library (U.S.A.). [39] 'The Manuscript was afterwards returned to its former place and reached Tashkent in 1924, where it has remained since'. [40]
Salam, Hypothetically if Richard did reach Jerusalem what would have been the outcome? Could the sultan hold out until the neighbouring Muslim armies came to Jerusalem’s aid? How many soldier did he have at his disposal as Richard was 6 miles away? Also why didn’t the Sultan prepare before hand the English/French invasion? Also what’s your view on how the movie Kingdom of heaven depicts the crusade?
Why can't we call him Salah Al Din? Why do we keep using the colonizers terms? You should see how the Chinese make a fuss about the world having to use Pinyin to learn their names and cities.

Is Hajj for Muslims the Same as Khagg for Jews? The Islamic Hajj season is upon us once again. Widely viewed as Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca (Ka’aba), a careful review of the Hebrew Scripture would reveal that Islamic Hajj may have more in common with khagg(or chagg) mentioned in Torah than we may realize. As millions of Muslims from around the world start to gather in the holy city of Mecca, I am once again reliving my own pilgrimage two years ago. I had posted a series of articles around this time last year, reliving my own incredible experience. Hajj is one of the 5 pillars of Islam, mandatory for able Muslims. It involves a set of rituals over several days, including circumambulation, or tawaf, around Ka’aba, culminating in sacrificing a lamb or similar animal. Most, if not all, of the rites are to honor the memory of Abraham and his son Ishmael and his wife, Hagar. More than a mere set of rituals, Hajj is a life changing experience for many Muslims- a way for spiritual awakening and strengthening connection with God, along the way learning humility, and showing solidarity with others during a journey that is a source of immense inner peace like no other ritual. Is Hajj meant for Muslims only? Ka’aba was built by Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael. Ka’aba was a source of pilgrimage, even before the life of Prophet Muhammad, except that centuries after it was built, it was filled with idols. Islam is viewed as a religion of Abraham (Deen -e -Ibrahim), according to the teachings of the Qur’an. But there is no specific mention of Moses or other prophets before Prophet Muhammad performing Hajj in the manner Muslims do today. A careful review of Hebrew Scripture reveals that Hajj was mentioned in Torah also. Let’s review the Hajj literally. Hajj in Arabic (حَجّ ) means heading to a place for the sake of visiting. It also translates to holiday or festival. The Hebrew cognate of the word Hajj is khagg (also written as chagg), (חג in Hebrew alphabets). It is also important to keep in mind that the Hebrew phonetic “kh” (ח) is the equivalent of “ha” (ح) in Arabic, and the phonetic “g” (ג) is cognate to the Arabic “jeem” (ج). Therefore Hajj literally is the Arabic version of Khagg (and vice versa). So where does the Torah talk about Khagg/Hajj? והיה היום הזה לכם לזכרון וחגתם אתו חג ליהוה לדרתיכם חקת עולם תחגהו Transliteration: wa-haya ha-yōm haza lakhem li-zikrōn wa-khagōtem otō khag li-Yehōwa li-dorotaychem khuqat `olam takhaguhū English translation: And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. Exodus 12:14 Khag (חג) in this verse is translated as “feast”, and the words khagotem and takhaguhū are derived from the word khag. One may, therefore re-translate this verse as follows: And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a Hajj to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a Hajj by an ordinance forever. Another verse using a derivative of khagg is the following: And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go , that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness Exodus 5:1 The highlighted word “feast” is yakhuggū , which is cognate to the Arabic “yuhajjū” and the verse may be retranslated as: And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a Hajj unto me in the wilderness. The Qur’an does confirm the prior revelations in many places , such as: And this is a Book which We have sent down, bringing blessings, and confirming (the revelations) which came before it: that thou mayest warn the mother of cities and all around her. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in this (Book), and they are constant in guarding their prayers. The Qur’an 6:92 This Qur’an could not have been authored by any other than God, as it rectifies what came before it and elucidates what was in the previous scriptures. Let there be no doubt that this is, indeed, from the Lord of all Worlds. The Qur’an 10:37 Modern use of Chagg by Jews Many Jews use Chagg as a greeting. For example Chagg Sameach, whereby Sameach means “happy” and chagg is for “holiday” Sometimes the holiday name is inserted in the middle; e.g. “chag Chanukah sameach”. Hajj for Jews as per Rabbi Allen Maller Rabbi Maller is a retired Reform Rabbi from Culver City, California, and has frequently highlighted similarities between Jewish and Islamic traditions, including Hajj. I am quoting passages from some of his relevant articles below. Modern Jews can see in the annual Muslim Hajj, some of the wonderful spiritual uplift that occurs when large numbers of people from all over the world travel to one holy place and join together in a traditional religious ceremony. Muslims in turn, can see some similarities in the ancient Jewish practice of Hajj ceremonies. Very few Jews realize that for more than 1.000 years, while Jerusalem’s First and Second Temple-Bait ul Muqaddas/Beit HaMiqdash stood, the Jewish festival of Hag Sukkot was celebrated as a Hajj, a pilgrimage festival. In Biblical times the Hebrew word Hag was pronounced Hajj. In the centuries after the Jerusalem Temple was destroyed; pilgrimage ceased. Today the great majority of Jews outside the Land of Israel live in Protestant countries where pilgrimage plays little or no role in religious life. The Prophet Zechariah envisions a future time when God helps humans to establish worldwide peace. Then all the nations in the world then may travel to Makka or Jerusalem to worship God. During Hajj Sukkot, a future Jerusalem will welcome both Jews and non-Jews, even including those who were previously Israel’s enemies: “Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem, will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate Hajj Sukkot.” (Zechariah 14:16) Just as the Ka’ba has always welcomed all Muslims who answer the call: “Call upon the people for Hajj. They will come to you on their bare feet, or riding any weak camel, and they come to you from every far desert. (Qur’an 22:27).[1] In a similarly worded article in Times of Israel, he adds: When educated Jews learn about the wonderful festivities of the Muslim Hajj, with its spiritual uplift that occurs when millions of people from all over the world travel to one holy place and join together in a traditional religious ceremony: they realize just how much we Jews have lost. In the same article, he goes on to draw the parallel between the Qur’an and the Torah: Both the Holy Qur’an and the Holy Bible stress the religious importance of an annual pilgrimage (Hajj in Arabic, Hag in Hebrew) to a sacred location. In Biblical times the Hebrew word Hag was pronounced Haj. The Qur’an states: “So keep the three Haj (Pilgrimage) days and seven fasts when you return.” (2:196) and the Torah states: Three times a year all your men are to appear before the God of Israel. (Exodus 34:23) The Torah also declares, “Celebrate Haj Sukkot for seven days after you have harvested the (fall) produce of your threshing floor and your winepress. Be joyful at your festival-you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, Levites, foreigners, orphans and the widows who live in your towns. For seven days celebrate the (pilgrimage) festival to the Lord your God… Three times a year all your men must appear before the Lord your God at the place He will choose: at the (spring) Haj of Matzot, the Haj of Weeks (seven weeks later), and the (fall) Haj of Sukkot. (Deuteronomy 16:13-16) The Haj of Sukkot was chosen as the best time to dedicate the First Temple in Jerusalem. (1Kings 8; 2). Haj Sukkot was so important during the centuries when Solomon’s Temple stood that the holy day week of Sukkot was often called simply “the Haj” (1 Kings 8:3; 8:65; 12:62; 2 Chronicles 5:3; 7:8). To be clear, neither Rabbi Maller, nor I, are suggesting that Moses and Aron performed Hajj to Mecca in a manner Muslims perform Hajj today. But the concepts and the connection between the Hajj mentioned in the Qur’an and Khagg in Torah are intriguing, to say the least. Whether the current Islamic Hajj is a lost/forgotten Khagg for the Jews, or a pilgrimage that was amended for the followers of Prophet Muhammad, Hajj and Khagg are reminders of some of the common spiritual roots to be cherished by Muslims and Jews. And as Rabbi Maller concludes with the following prayer: But it is still possible to hope that in this generation; Christian, Jewish and Muslim pilgrims will come together in peace and brotherhood to Jerusalem on Haj Sukkot as foretold in a vision of Prophet Zachariah: “In that (future) day all the survivors of the nations who came against Jerusalem will go there from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts and to observe Haj Sukkot -the (pilgrimage) Festival of Sukkot. (Zachariah 14:16) Please God, may it happen soon. Whether that gathering happens in Mecca on Hajj, or Jerusalem on Hajj Sukkot, I say Ameen to a day when Jews, Christians and Muslims can perform the holy pilgrimage together, humbling and submitting themselves to the same One True God www.patheos.com/blogs/askamuslim/2019/08/is-hajj-for-muslims-the-same-as-khagg-for-jews/
Thank you brother adnan for yet another great historical upload.i really admire your intelect and humbelness.May allah bless you and reward you with jannah☪️👆
The Quran contains many Prophecies that have been fulfilled, The first two prophecies are noteworthy: unlike any other world scripture, the Quran prophesizes its own preservation under divine care, and we will demonstrate how it actually occurred. The Protection of the Quran from Corruption The Quran makes a claim no other religious text makes, that God Himself will keep its text safe from alteration. God says: "Behold, it is We Ourselves who have gradually revealed this reminder, and, behold, it is We who shall truly guard it [from all corruption]." (Quran 15:9) The Ease of Memorizing the Quran God has made the Quran easy to memorize: "And in truth We have made the Quran easy to remember; who, then, is willing to take it to heart?" (Quran 54:17) The ease with which Quran is memorized is inimitable. There is not a single scripture or religious text in the world that is as easy to memorize; even non-Arabs and children commit it to memory easily. The entire Quran is memorized by almost every Islamic scholar and hundreds of thousands of ordinary Muslims, generation after generation. Almost every Muslim has some portion of the Quran memorized to read in his prayers. The Twofold Prophecy Before the rise of Islam, the Romans and the Persians were two competing superpowers. Romans were led by Heraclius (610-641 CE), a Christian Emperor, whereas the Persians were Zoroastrians led by Khosrow Parviz (reigned 590-628 CE), under whom the empire achieved its greatest expansion. In 614, the Persians conquered Syria and Palestine, taking Jerusalem, destroying the Holy Sepulcher and the ‘True Cross’ carried to Ctesiphon. Then, in 619, they occupied Egypt and Libya. Heraclius met them at Thracian Heraclea (617 or 619), but they sought to capture him, and he rode madly back to Constantinople, hotly pursued.[2] The Muslims were grieved by the Roman defeat as they felt spiritually closer to Christian Rome than Zoroastrian Persia, but the Meccans were naturally buoyed up by the victory of pagan Persia. To Meccans, the Roman humiliation was a sinister omen of the defeat of the Muslims at pagan hands. At the time God’s prophecy comforted the faithful: "The Romans have been defeated - in a land close by; but they, (even) after (this) defeat of theirs, will soon be victorious- within ten years. With God is the Decision, in the past and in the future: on that Day shall the believers rejoice with the help of God. He helps whom He will, and He is the Mighty, the Most-Merciful." (Quran 30:2-5) The Quran made a prophecy of two victories: (i) The future Roman victory within ten years over Persians, something unimaginable at the time (ii) The joy of the faithful on a victory over the pagans Both of these prophecies actually occured. In 622, Heraclius left Constantinople as prayers rose from its many sanctuaries for victory over the Persian Zoroastrians and the reconquest of Jerusalem. He devoted the next two years to campaigns in Armenia. In 627, he met the Persians near Nineveh. There, he killed three Persian generals in single combat, killed the Persian commander, and scattered the Persian host. A month later, Heraclius entered Dastagird with its stupendous treasure. Khosrow was overthrown by his son, who made peace with Heraclius. Returning to Constantinople in triumph, Heraclius was hailed as a hero.[3] Also, in the year 624 AH, Muslims defeated the Meccans in the first and decisive Battle at Badr. In the words of an Indian scholar: "…a single line of prophecy was related to four nations and the fate of two great empires. All this proves the Holy Quran to be the Book of God."[4] The Prophecy of Pagan Defeat The Quran predicted the defeat of unbelievers in Mecca while Prophet Muhammad and his followers were still being persecuted by them: "Or do they (the Meccan disbelievers) say: ‘We are a great multitude, and we shall be victorious?’ Their multitude will be defeated, , and they shall turn their backs [in flight]!" (Quran 54:45) The prophecy was revealed in Mecca, but was fulfilled at the Battle of Badr, two years after the Prophet’s migration to the city of Medina. The Fate of Specific Individuals Waleed ibn Mugheera was a staunch enemy who openly ridiculed the Quran: "Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old; this is nothing but the word of a mortal!" (Quran 74:24-25) The Quran prophesized he will never accept Islam: "Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire! And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is? It leaves naught nor does it spare aught." (Quran 74:26-28) Waleed died in a state of disbelief as prophesized by the Quran. Also, concerning Abu Lahab, a fiery opponent of Islam, the Quran foretold he will die opposing the religion of God: "May the hands of Abu Lahab perish, and [indeed] he has perished. His wealth and gains will not profit him. He will be plunged in flaming Fire." (Quran 111:1-3) Specifically, three prophecies were made about Abu Lahab: (i) The conspiracies of Abu Lahab against the Prophet would not succeed. (ii) His wealth and children would not benefit him. (iii) He would die opposing God’s religion and enter the Fire. Abu Lahab also died in a state of disbelief as prophesized by the Quran. Had Waleed or Abu Lahab accepted Islam even outwardly, they would have disproved its prophecies and thus its heavenly source! In addition, Abu Lahab had four sons, two of whom died at a young age during his lifetime. The other two sons and a daughter embraced Islam and frustrated his hopes! Finally, he died of a plague; people would not touch his body out of fear of contamination and dumped mud and stones on him where he died to make it his grave. A key foundation to believing that a scripture is actually a revelation of God is internal truth, whether it be in regards to occurrences in the past, to come in the future, or in contemporary ages. As one can see, there are many prophecies mentioned in that which is to come, some of which were fulfilled in the Prophet’s lifetime, or have been fulfilled since his death, while others are yet to appear

They intentionally tried to westernize and dumb down the Muslims. And alot of us are sleeping as a result.
@@monoth4555 agreed. 1924 when the Ottoman empire was defeated the General of Britain sent out a letter to all the other nations saying we must unite to never allow them to be able to be one again. Ever since they have been adding borders as they wish to thw muslim lands. U know...the good ol 'divide and conquer' method. Muslims we're the ones who made the first hospital, brought womens rights, the first university, created tools used in operation theaters by surgeons TODAY, optics u name it. While there were ppl throwing their feces out the window in England the muslims were making discoveries in the sky using the Quran and Sunnah as a guide and inspiration.

I'm a Christian and I have two questions for my Muslim brothers and sisters. How could allah allow his words (The Torah & the Bible) to be corrupted? And where in the Qur'an does it say that the Bible has been corrupted? Blessings & peace
Salam,
Allah never promised to preserve the past messengers revelation as it was only due to their people and time. Hence their mission of conveying the message was fulfilled. Whereas the Quran will be preserved as it’s for mankind till Day of Resurrection. Also Quran has the same theology/prophet narratives of what was conveyed from them.
Quran (2:76-2:80)
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
- When they meet the believers they say, “We believe.” But in private they say ˹to each other˺, “Will you disclose to the believers the knowledge Allah has revealed to you,1 so that they may use it against you before your Lord? Do you not understand?”
- Do they not know that Allah is aware of what they conceal and what they reveal?
- And among them are the illiterate who know nothing about the Scripture except lies, and ˹so˺ they ˹wishfully˺ speculate.
- So woe to those who distort the Scripture with their own hands then say, “This is from Allah”-seeking a fleeting gain! So woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they have earned.
- Some of˺ the Jews claim, “The Fire will not touch us except for a number of days.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Have you taken a pledge from Allah-for Allah never breaks His word-or are you ˹just˺ saying about Allah what you do not know?”

Damascus up until the twelfth century was a marvelous city unparalleled in its high culture and refinement of character of the people. There were dozens of learning centres(madrasas) and students and scholars from around the muslim lands would come to study the rich Islamic texts on a range of disciplines. The ethics of people were such that it would be incredible to even conceive of such a level of adab in the people. They walked in the streets with their hands behind their backs and greeted each other by bowing and addressing people as sir or master(syed) and saying "here is your servant",etc. It has been so praised that people used to call it "paradise on earth". Just imagine how wonderful such a society would be. SubhanAllah
And what a site it would have been ..
I totally agree with Ustadh Adnan and strongly feel the need of more such schools and colleges which are built by Muslims and run on the Islamic curriculum and have rules and guidelines according to Islamic principles where there is no intermingling of sexes but proper segregation and veiling. May Allah SWT guide the Ummah.
This is what we must strive for, in sha Allah

Salahadin had a great father, I'm surprised you didn't mention him.
One day when Salahadin was a kid, he played with some kid's. His father went to him and told him, son I didn't made you to play game with kids, I made you to save Quds one day. Then Salahadin stopped playing.
Later, his father play's one day with him and Salahadin gets injured, but he didn't cry. His father think it is quite strange and asks him why he is not crying because of his injurie. Salahadin answers his father and says, " He who saves Quds, must not cry".

Most Influential Person in History by Michael H. Hart
The 100, a Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History
by Michael H. Hart
Muhammed #1
“My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels.
Of humble origins, Muhammad founded and promulgated one of the world's great religions, and became an immensely effective political leader. Today, thirteen centuries after his death, his influence is still powerful and pervasive.
The majority of the persons in this book had the advantage of being born and raised in centers of civilization, highly cultured or politically pivotal nations. Muhammad, however, was born in the year 570, in the city of Mecca, in southern Arabia, at that time a backward area of the world, far from the centers of trade, art, and learning. Orphaned at age six, he was reared in modest surroundings. Islamic tradition tells us that he was illiterate. His economic position improved when, at age twenty-five, he married a wealthy widow. Nevertheless, as he approached forty, there was little outward indication that he was a remarkable person.
Most Arabs at that time were pagans, who believed in many gods. There were, however, in Mecca, a small number of Jews and Christians; it was from them no doubt that Muhammad first learned of a single, omnipotent God who ruled the entire universe. When he was forty years old, Muhammad became convinced that this one true God (Allah) was speaking to him, and had chosen him to spread the true faith.
For three years, Muhammad preached only to close friends and associates. Then, about 613, he began preaching in public. As he slowly gained converts, the Meccan authorities came to consider him a dangerous nuisance. In 622, fearing for his safety, Muhammad fled to Medina (a city some 200 miles north of Mecca), where he had been offered a position of considerable political power.
This flight, called the Hegira, was the turning point of the Prophet's life. In Mecca, he had had few followers. In Medina, he had many more, and he soon acquired an influence that made him a virtual dictator. During the next few years, while Muhammad s following grew rapidly, a series of battles were fought between Medina and Mecca. This was ended in 630 with Muhammad's triumphant return to Mecca as conqueror. The remaining two and one-half years of his life witnessed the rapid conversion of the Arab tribes to the new religion. When Muhammad died, in 632, he was the effective ruler of all of southern Arabia.
The Bedouin tribesmen of Arabia had a reputation as fierce warriors. But their number was small; and plagued by disunity and internecine warfare, they had been no match for the larger armies of the kingdoms in the settled agricultural areas to the north. However, unified by Muhammad for the first time in history, and inspired by their fervent belief in the one true God, these small Arab armies now embarked upon one of the most astonishing series of conquests in human history. To the northeast of Arabia lay the large Neo-Persian Empire of the Sassanids; to the northwest lay the Byzantine, or Eastern Roman Empire, centered in Constantinople. Numerically, the Arabs were no match for their opponents. On the field of battle, though, the inspired Arabs rapidly conquered all of Mesopotamia, Syria, and Palestine. By 642, Egypt had been wrested from the Byzantine Empire, while the Persian armies had been crushed at the key battles of Qadisiya in 637, and Nehavend in 642.
But even these enormous conquests-which were made under the leadership of Muhammad's close friends and immediate successors, Abu Bakr and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab -did not mark the end of the Arab advance. By 711, the Arab armies had swept completely across North Africa to the Atlantic Ocean There they turned north and, crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, overwhelmed the Visigothic kingdom in Spain.
For a while, it must have seemed that the Moslems would overwhelm all of Christian Europe. However, in 732, at the famous Battle of Tours, a Moslem army, which had advanced into the center of France, was at last defeated by the Franks. Nevertheless, in a scant century of fighting, these Bedouin tribesmen, inspired by the word of the Prophet, had carved out an empire stretching from the borders of India to the Atlantic Ocean-the largest empire that the world had yet seen. And everywhere that the armies conquered, large-scale conversion to the new faith eventually followed.
Now, not all of these conquests proved permanent. The Persians, though they have remained faithful to the religion of the Prophet, have since regained their independence from the Arabs. And in Spain, more than seven centuries of warfare 5 finally resulted in the Christians reconquering the entire peninsula. However, Mesopotamia and Egypt, the two cradles of ancient civilization, have remained Arab, as has the entire coast of North Africa. The new religion, of course, continued to spread, in the intervening centuries, far beyond the borders of the original Moslem conquests. Currently it has tens of millions of adherents in Africa and Central Asia and even more in Pakistan and northern India, and in Indonesia. In Indonesia, the new faith has been a unifying factor. In the Indian subcontinent, however, the conflict between Moslems and Hindus is still a major obstacle to unity.
How, then, is one to assess the overall impact of Muhammad on human history? Like all religions, Islam exerts an enormous influence upon the lives of its followers. It is for this reason that the founders of the world's great religions all figure prominently in this book . Since there are roughly twice as many Christians as Moslems in the world, it may initially seem strange that Muhammad has been ranked higher than Jesus. There are two principal reasons for that decision. First, Muhammad played a far more important role in the development of Islam than Jesus did in the development of Christianity. Although Jesus was responsible for the main ethical and moral precepts of Christianity (insofar as these differed from Judaism), St. Paul was the main developer of Christian theology, its principal proselytizer, and the author of a large portion of the New Testament.
Muhammad, however, was responsible for both the theology of Islam and its main ethical and moral principles. In addition, he played the key role in proselytizing the new faith, and in establishing the religious practices of Islam. Moreover, he is the author of the Moslem holy scriptures, the Koran, a collection of certain of Muhammad's insights that he believed had been directly revealed to him by Allah. Most of these utterances were copied more or less faithfully during Muhammad's lifetime and were collected together in authoritative form not long after his death. The Koran therefore, closely represents Muhammad's ideas and teachings and to a considerable extent his exact words. No such detailed compilation of the teachings of Christ has survived. Since the Koran is at least as important to Moslems as the Bible is to Christians, the influence of Muhammed through the medium of the Koran has been enormous It is probable that the relative influence of Muhammad on Islam has been larger than the combined influence of Jesus Christ and St. Paul on Christianity. On the purely religious level, then, it seems likely that Muhammad has been as influential in human history as Jesus.
Furthermore, Muhammad (unlike Jesus) was a secular as well as a religious leader. In fact, as the driving force behind the Arab conquests, he may well rank as the most influential political leader of all time.
Of many important historical events, one might say that they were inevitable and would have occurred even without the particular political leader who guided them. For example, the South American colonies would probably have won their independence from Spain even if Simon Bolivar had never lived. But this cannot be said of the Arab conquests. Nothing similar had occurred before Muhammad, and there is no reason to believe that the conquests would have been achieved without him. The only comparable conquests in human history are those of the Mongols in the thirteenth century, which were primarily due to the influence of Genghis Khan. These conquests, however, though more extensive than those of the Arabs, did not prove permanent, and today the only areas occupied by the Mongols are those that they held prior to the time of Genghis Khan.
It is far different with the conquests of the Arabs. From Iraq to Morocco, there extends a whole chain of Arab nations united not merely by their faith in Islam, but also by their Arabic language, history, and culture. The centrality of the Koran in the Moslem religion and the fact that it is written in Arabic have probably prevented the Arab language from breaking up into mutually unintelligible dialects, which might otherwise have occurred in the intervening thirteen centuries. Differences and divisions between these Arab states exist, of course, and they are considerable, but the partial disunity should not blind us to the important elements of unity that have continued to exist. For instance, neither Iran nor Indonesia, both oil-producing states and both Islamic in religion, joined in the oil embargo of the winter of 1973-74. It is no coincidence that all of the Arab states, and only the Arab states, participated in the embargo.
We see, then, that the Arab conquests of the seventh century have continued to play an important role in human history, down to the present day. It is this unparalleled combination of secular and religious influence which I feel entitles Muhammad to be considered the most influential single figure in human history.”

رحمة الله على صلاح الدين الايوبي وجزاك الله خير اخانا عدنان
Thank you so much, there are so many of us that feel so close to you through your lectures yet have never met you. We can only hope to meet you in the next life inshallah. I found it really interesting that such a giant of Islam was reluctant to take power. I thought of the humility of the Prophets Muhammad and Yusuf (peace and blessings upon all the prophets); despite their rise to positions of power and responsibility. It is said that the best leaders are those not driven by material gain or ego but rather by the welfare of those that they serve; thus any apprehensiveness illustrates their comprehension of the magnitude of responsibility.
SubhanAllah I read about sultan Salahuddin in this book titled Saladin by John Man. It is a nice book and a short one as well which all people can read if they don't like reading thick gigantic books.

55:20 This made me cry. Subhanallah.
IMPORTANT NOTE. in bible oldest scripture i think, Christians can see on the nehemiah 8.2-8, the previous nations prayed exactly like the muslims pray in mosque, reading from their revelations in jamaat, lifting hands when say God is greater (allahu akbar), saying amen, bowing down n head to the ground..Where did they get this description of prayer from? Unfortunately they don't pray like that.

i love you brother Adnan, but you need to invest in a microphone
To demonstrate the Brotherhood of Islam, Salahadin-al-Ayub was not even Arab, He was a Kurd from Iraq. To answer your question on how to battle Islamaphobia, we have to gain some sort of influence of the medium of communication (media}. Until the media is in the hands of the enemies of Islam, we'll never be successful. Modern warfare today is not so much a physical war but a war to gain control of the thinking of the masses.
It is Sallahuddin

Ustadh adnan, can you make a lecture about ABDELKRIM EL KHATTABI? He is an interesting figure that fought against colonial powers.
The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth: Such Is the sworn oath given in the English court of Law. What it means: 1. That you tell the truth that is you as witness. 2. That you tell the whole truth without leaving any truth out. [and] 3. You don’t add anything extra to the truth that you have witnessed. History is bias by the different sides therefore independent witness evidence is essential for clarity. Stories from within a group become that that is that which is as general gossip or hearsay.

*You Should Call Him Muslim Worrior*
Bro Adnan I would like to hear about Gospel of Barnabas in your next video. What the real fact behind the Barnabas.
Official written copy by Uthman
The Quran was originally revealed in Quraishi dialect of Arabic. But to facilitate the people who speak other dialects, in their understanding and comprehension, Allah revealed the Quran finally in seven dialects of Arabic. During the period of Caliph Uthman (third successor to the Prophet) differences in reading the Quran among the various tribes became obvious, due to the various dialectical recitations. Dispute was arising, with each tribe calling its recitation as the correct one. This alarmed Uthman, who made an official copy in the Quraishi dialect, the dialect in which the Quran was revealed to the Prophet and was memorized by his companions. Thus this compilation by Uthman's Committee is not a different version of the Quran (like the Biblical versions) but the same original revelation given to the Prophet by One God, Allah.
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman came to Uthman at the time when the people of Sham (Syria) and the people of Iraq were waging war to conquer Armenia and Azherbijan. Hudhaifa was afraid of their differences in the recitation of the Quran, so he said to Uthman, 'O chief of the Believers! Save this nation before they differ about the Book (Quran) as Jews and Christians did before'. So Uthman sent a message to Hafsa saying, 'Send us the manuscripts of the Quran so that we may compile the Quranic materials in perfect copies and return the manuscripts to you'. Hafsa sent it to Uthman. 'Uthman then ordered Zaid bin Thabit, 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, Said bin Al-As and Abdur Rahman bin Harith bin Hisham to rewrite the manuscripts in perfect copies. Uthman said to the three Quraishi men, 'In case you disagree with Zaid bin Thabit on any point in the Quran, then write it in their (Quraishi) tongue'. They did so, and when they had written many copies, Uthman sent to every Muslim province one copy of what they had copied and ordered that all the other Quranic materials whether written in fragmentary manuscripts or whole copies, be burnt…" [29]
Again a very stringent criteria was set up by this Committee to prevent any alteration of the Revelation.
1. The earlier recension (Original copy prepared by Abu Bakr) was to serve as the principal basis of the new one. [30]
2. Any doubt that might be raised as to the phrasing of a particular passage in the written text was to be dispelled by summoning persons known to have learned the passage in question from the Prophet. [31]
3. Uthman himself was to supervise the work of the Council. [32]
When the final recension was completed, Uthman sent a copy of it to each of the major cities of Makka, Damascus, Kufa, Basra and Madina.
The action of Uthman to burn the other copies besides the final recension, though obviously drastic, was for the betterment and harmony of the whole community and was unanimously approved by the Companions of the Prophet.
Zaid ibn Thabit is reported to have said: "I saw the Companions of Muhammad (going about) saying, 'By God, Uthman has done well! By God, Uthman has done well!" [33]
Another esteemed Companion Musab ibn Sad ibn Abi Waqqas said: "I saw the people assemble in large number at Uthman's burning of the prescribed copies (of the Quran), and they were all pleased with his action; not a one spoke out against him". [34]
Ali ibn Abu Talib, the cousin of the Prophet and the fourth successor to the Prophet commented: "If I were in command in place of Uthman, I would have done the same". [35]
Of the copies made by Uthman, two still exist to our day. One is in the city of Tashkent, (Uzbekistan) and the second one is in Istanbul (Turkey). Below is a brief account of both these copies:
1. The copy which Uthman sent to Madina was reportedly removed by the Turkish authorities to Istanbul, from where it came to Berlin during World War I. The Treaty of Versailles, which concluded World War I, contains the following clause:
'Article 246: Within six months from the coming into force of the present Treaty, Germany will restore to His Majesty, King of Hedjaz, the original Koran of Caliph Othman, which was removed from Madina by the Turkish authorities and is stated to have been presented to the ex-Emperor William II". [36]
'This manuscript then reached Istanbul, but not Madina (Where it now resides)'. [37]
2. The second copy in existence is kept in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. 'It may be the Imam (master) manuscript or one of the other copies made at the time of Uthman'. [38]
It Came to Samarkand in 890 Hijra (1485) and remained there till 1868. Then it was taken to St.Petersburg by the Russians in 1869. It remained there till 1917. A Russian orientalist gave a detailed description of it, saying that many pages were damaged and some were missing. A facsimile, some 50 copies, of this mushaf (copy) was produced by S.Pisareff in 1905. A copy was sent to the Ottoman Sultan 'Abdul Hamid, to the Shah of Iran, to the Amir of Bukhara, to Afghanistan, to Fas and some important Muslim personalities. One copy is now in the Columbia University Library (U.S.A.). [39]
'The Manuscript was afterwards returned to its former place and reached Tashkent in 1924, where it has remained since'. [40]
Can you guys make a video on ISLAMIC GOVERNANCE system? i.e how they are elected and all?
Sir plz make a video on Dan Gibson's thesis that qibla is in Makkah or in petra plz sir plz make video on it .......
Salam,
Hypothetically if Richard did reach Jerusalem what would have been the outcome? Could the sultan hold out until the neighbouring Muslim armies came to Jerusalem’s aid? How many soldier did he have at his disposal as Richard was 6 miles away? Also why didn’t the Sultan prepare before hand the English/French invasion?
Also what’s your view on how the movie Kingdom of heaven depicts the crusade?
Why can't we call him Salah Al Din? Why do we keep using the colonizers terms? You should see how the Chinese make a fuss about the world having to use Pinyin to learn their names and cities.
Adnan you usually have good cameras and sound devices?
Please do a professional Podcast
Salahadin ayubi built great SUFI centres in Egypt and the Levant or al-sham but don't hear these so called scholars mention any of that.

The only one who matched him or even surpassed him is Mughal India's Aurangzeb Alamgir, who died by leaving only 300 rupees. May Allah grant both of these sultans in Jannatul Ferdouse. Ameen
Shouldn't it be Salahuddin.?
Saladan was the mureed of abdul qadir gilani why leabe this info out?
Brother Musa please get your dad a good speaker 👍
Genghiz khan also was a prophet by this kind logic , He conquered from the border of Japan to today Germany. and by the way ,He was a nomad , He was born in a poor nomadic tribe in Mongolia .
History does not remember genghis khan, his empire capitulated within 50 years after his death, not to mentioned the bloody legacy he left...
How can Gengiz Khan be a prophet when he didn’t prophesize anything? Whereas The Prophet Mohammed had numerous prophesies many of which came true.
Christ Jesus is your God and mine.

Is Hajj for Muslims the Same as Khagg for Jews?
The Islamic Hajj season is upon us once again. Widely viewed as Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca (Ka’aba), a careful review of the Hebrew Scripture would reveal that Islamic Hajj may have more in common with khagg(or chagg) mentioned in Torah than we may realize.
As millions of Muslims from around the world start to gather in the holy city of Mecca, I am once again reliving my own pilgrimage two years ago. I had posted a series of articles around this time last year, reliving my own incredible experience.
Hajj is one of the 5 pillars of Islam, mandatory for able Muslims. It involves a set of rituals over several days, including circumambulation, or tawaf, around Ka’aba, culminating in sacrificing a lamb or similar animal. Most, if not all, of the rites are to honor the memory of Abraham and his son Ishmael and his wife, Hagar. More than a mere set of rituals, Hajj is a life changing experience for many Muslims- a way for spiritual awakening and strengthening connection with God, along the way learning humility, and showing solidarity with others during a journey that is a source of immense inner peace like no other ritual.
Is Hajj meant for Muslims only?
Ka’aba was built by Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael. Ka’aba was a source of pilgrimage, even before the life of Prophet Muhammad, except that centuries after it was built, it was filled with idols.
Islam is viewed as a religion of Abraham (Deen -e -Ibrahim), according to the teachings of the Qur’an. But there is no specific mention of Moses or other prophets before Prophet Muhammad performing Hajj in the manner Muslims do today.
A careful review of Hebrew Scripture reveals that Hajj was mentioned in Torah also.
Let’s review the Hajj literally.
Hajj in Arabic (حَجّ ) means heading to a place for the sake of visiting. It also translates to holiday or festival.
The Hebrew cognate of the word Hajj is khagg (also written as chagg), (חג in Hebrew alphabets). It is also important to keep in mind that the Hebrew phonetic “kh” (ח) is the equivalent of “ha” (ح) in Arabic, and the phonetic “g” (ג) is cognate to the Arabic “jeem” (ج). Therefore Hajj literally is the Arabic version of Khagg (and vice versa).
So where does the Torah talk about Khagg/Hajj?
והיה היום הזה לכם לזכרון וחגתם אתו חג ליהוה לדרתיכם חקת עולם תחגהו
Transliteration: wa-haya ha-yōm haza lakhem li-zikrōn wa-khagōtem otō khag li-Yehōwa li-dorotaychem khuqat `olam takhaguhū
English translation:
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. Exodus 12:14
Khag (חג) in this verse is translated as “feast”, and the words khagotem and takhaguhū are derived from the word khag.
One may, therefore re-translate this verse as follows:
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a Hajj to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a Hajj by an ordinance forever.
Another verse using a derivative of khagg is the following:
And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go , that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness Exodus 5:1
The highlighted word “feast” is yakhuggū , which is cognate to the Arabic “yuhajjū” and the verse may be retranslated as:
And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a Hajj unto me in the wilderness.
The Qur’an does confirm the prior revelations in many places , such as:
And this is a Book which We have sent down, bringing blessings, and confirming (the revelations) which came before it: that thou mayest warn the mother of cities and all around her. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in this (Book), and they are constant in guarding their prayers. The Qur’an 6:92
This Qur’an could not have been authored by any other than God, as it rectifies what came before it and elucidates what was in the previous scriptures. Let there be no doubt that this is, indeed, from the Lord of all Worlds. The Qur’an 10:37
Modern use of Chagg by Jews
Many Jews use Chagg as a greeting. For example Chagg Sameach, whereby Sameach means “happy” and chagg is for “holiday”
Sometimes the holiday name is inserted in the middle; e.g. “chag Chanukah sameach”.
Hajj for Jews as per Rabbi Allen Maller
Rabbi Maller is a retired Reform Rabbi from Culver City, California, and has frequently highlighted similarities between Jewish and Islamic traditions, including Hajj. I am quoting passages from some of his relevant articles below.
Modern Jews can see in the annual Muslim Hajj, some of the wonderful spiritual uplift that occurs when large numbers of people from all over the world travel to one holy place and join together in a traditional religious ceremony. Muslims in turn, can see some similarities in the ancient Jewish practice of Hajj ceremonies.
Very few Jews realize that for more than 1.000 years, while Jerusalem’s First and Second Temple-Bait ul Muqaddas/Beit HaMiqdash stood, the Jewish festival of Hag Sukkot was celebrated as a Hajj, a pilgrimage festival. In Biblical times the Hebrew word Hag was pronounced Hajj. In the centuries after the Jerusalem Temple was destroyed; pilgrimage ceased. Today the great majority of Jews outside the Land of Israel live in Protestant countries where pilgrimage plays little or no role in religious life.
The Prophet Zechariah envisions a future time when God helps humans to establish worldwide peace. Then all the nations in the world then may travel to Makka or Jerusalem to worship God.
During Hajj Sukkot, a future Jerusalem will welcome both Jews and non-Jews, even including those who were previously Israel’s enemies: “Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem, will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate Hajj Sukkot.” (Zechariah 14:16)
Just as the Ka’ba has always welcomed all Muslims who answer the call: “Call upon the people for Hajj. They will come to you on their bare feet, or riding any weak camel, and they come to you from every far desert. (Qur’an 22:27).[1]
In a similarly worded article in Times of Israel, he adds:
When educated Jews learn about the wonderful festivities of the Muslim Hajj, with its spiritual uplift that occurs when millions of people from all over the world travel to one holy place and join together in a traditional religious ceremony: they realize just how much we Jews have lost.
In the same article, he goes on to draw the parallel between the Qur’an and the Torah:
Both the Holy Qur’an and the Holy Bible stress the religious importance of an annual pilgrimage (Hajj in Arabic, Hag in Hebrew) to a sacred location. In Biblical times the Hebrew word Hag was pronounced Haj.
The Qur’an states: “So keep the three Haj (Pilgrimage) days and seven fasts when you return.” (2:196) and the Torah states: Three times a year all your men are to appear before the God of Israel. (Exodus 34:23)
The Torah also declares, “Celebrate Haj Sukkot for seven days after you have harvested the (fall) produce of your threshing floor and your winepress. Be joyful at your festival-you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, Levites, foreigners, orphans and the widows who live in your towns. For seven days celebrate the (pilgrimage) festival to the Lord your God… Three times a year all your men must appear before the Lord your God at the place He will choose: at the (spring) Haj of Matzot, the Haj of Weeks (seven weeks later), and the (fall) Haj of Sukkot. (Deuteronomy 16:13-16)
The Haj of Sukkot was chosen as the best time to dedicate the First Temple in Jerusalem. (1Kings 8; 2). Haj Sukkot was so important during the centuries when Solomon’s Temple stood that the holy day week of Sukkot was often called simply “the Haj” (1 Kings 8:3; 8:65; 12:62; 2 Chronicles 5:3; 7:8).
To be clear, neither Rabbi Maller, nor I, are suggesting that Moses and Aron performed Hajj to Mecca in a manner Muslims perform Hajj today. But the concepts and the connection between the Hajj mentioned in the Qur’an and Khagg in Torah are intriguing, to say the least. Whether the current Islamic Hajj is a lost/forgotten Khagg for the Jews, or a pilgrimage that was amended for the followers of Prophet Muhammad, Hajj and Khagg are reminders of some of the common spiritual roots to be cherished by Muslims and Jews.
And as Rabbi Maller concludes with the following prayer:
But it is still possible to hope that in this generation; Christian, Jewish and Muslim pilgrims will come together in peace and brotherhood to Jerusalem on Haj Sukkot as foretold in a vision of Prophet Zachariah: “In that (future) day all the survivors of the nations who came against Jerusalem will go there from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts and to observe Haj Sukkot -the (pilgrimage) Festival of Sukkot. (Zachariah 14:16)
Please God, may it happen soon.
Whether that gathering happens in Mecca on Hajj, or Jerusalem on Hajj Sukkot, I say Ameen to a day when Jews, Christians and Muslims can perform the holy pilgrimage together, humbling and submitting themselves to the same One True God

Thank you brother adnan for yet another great historical upload.i really admire your intelect and humbelness.May allah bless you and reward you with jannah☪️👆
The Quran contains many Prophecies that have been fulfilled,
The first two prophecies are noteworthy: unlike any other world scripture, the Quran prophesizes its own preservation under divine care, and we will demonstrate how it actually occurred.
The Protection of the Quran from Corruption
The Quran makes a claim no other religious text makes, that God Himself will keep its text safe from alteration. God says:
"Behold, it is We Ourselves who have gradually revealed this reminder, and, behold, it is We who shall truly guard it [from all corruption]." (Quran 15:9)
The Ease of Memorizing the Quran
God has made the Quran easy to memorize:
"And in truth We have made the Quran easy to remember; who, then, is willing to take it to heart?" (Quran 54:17)
The ease with which Quran is memorized is inimitable. There is not a single scripture or religious text in the world that is as easy to memorize; even non-Arabs and children commit it to memory easily. The entire Quran is memorized by almost every Islamic scholar and hundreds of thousands of ordinary Muslims, generation after generation. Almost every Muslim has some portion of the Quran memorized to read in his prayers.
The Twofold Prophecy
Before the rise of Islam, the Romans and the Persians were two competing superpowers. Romans were led by Heraclius (610-641 CE), a Christian Emperor, whereas the Persians were Zoroastrians led by Khosrow Parviz (reigned 590-628 CE), under whom the empire achieved its greatest expansion.
In 614, the Persians conquered Syria and Palestine, taking Jerusalem, destroying the Holy Sepulcher and the ‘True Cross’ carried to Ctesiphon. Then, in 619, they occupied Egypt and Libya. Heraclius met them at Thracian Heraclea (617 or 619), but they sought to capture him, and he rode madly back to Constantinople, hotly pursued.[2]
The Muslims were grieved by the Roman defeat as they felt spiritually closer to Christian Rome than Zoroastrian Persia, but the Meccans were naturally buoyed up by the victory of pagan Persia. To Meccans, the Roman humiliation was a sinister omen of the defeat of the Muslims at pagan hands. At the time God’s prophecy comforted the faithful:
"The Romans have been defeated - in a land close by; but they, (even) after (this) defeat of theirs, will soon be victorious- within ten years. With God is the Decision, in the past and in the future: on that Day shall the believers rejoice with the help of God. He helps whom He will, and He is the Mighty, the Most-Merciful." (Quran 30:2-5)
The Quran made a prophecy of two victories:
(i) The future Roman victory within ten years over Persians, something unimaginable at the time
(ii) The joy of the faithful on a victory over the pagans
Both of these prophecies actually occured.
In 622, Heraclius left Constantinople as prayers rose from its many sanctuaries for victory over the Persian Zoroastrians and the reconquest of Jerusalem. He devoted the next two years to campaigns in Armenia. In 627, he met the Persians near Nineveh. There, he killed three Persian generals in single combat, killed the Persian commander, and scattered the Persian host. A month later, Heraclius entered Dastagird with its stupendous treasure. Khosrow was overthrown by his son, who made peace with Heraclius. Returning to Constantinople in triumph, Heraclius was hailed as a hero.[3]
Also, in the year 624 AH, Muslims defeated the Meccans in the first and decisive Battle at Badr.
In the words of an Indian scholar:
"…a single line of prophecy was related to four nations and the fate of two great empires. All this proves the Holy Quran to be the Book of God."[4]
The Prophecy of Pagan Defeat
The Quran predicted the defeat of unbelievers in Mecca while Prophet Muhammad and his followers were still being persecuted by them:
"Or do they (the Meccan disbelievers) say: ‘We are a great multitude, and we shall be victorious?’ Their multitude will be defeated, , and they shall turn their backs [in flight]!" (Quran 54:45)
The prophecy was revealed in Mecca, but was fulfilled at the Battle of Badr, two years after the Prophet’s migration to the city of Medina.
The Fate of Specific Individuals
Waleed ibn Mugheera was a staunch enemy who openly ridiculed the Quran:
"Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old; this is nothing but the word of a mortal!" (Quran 74:24-25)
The Quran prophesized he will never accept Islam:
"Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire! And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is? It leaves naught nor does it spare aught." (Quran 74:26-28)
Waleed died in a state of disbelief as prophesized by the Quran.
Also, concerning Abu Lahab, a fiery opponent of Islam, the Quran foretold he will die opposing the religion of God:
"May the hands of Abu Lahab perish, and [indeed] he has perished. His wealth and gains will not profit him. He will be plunged in flaming Fire." (Quran 111:1-3)
Specifically, three prophecies were made about Abu Lahab:
(i) The conspiracies of Abu Lahab against the Prophet would not succeed.
(ii) His wealth and children would not benefit him.
(iii) He would die opposing God’s religion and enter the Fire.
Abu Lahab also died in a state of disbelief as prophesized by the Quran. Had Waleed or Abu Lahab accepted Islam even outwardly, they would have disproved its prophecies and thus its heavenly source!
In addition, Abu Lahab had four sons, two of whom died at a young age during his lifetime. The other two sons and a daughter embraced Islam and frustrated his hopes! Finally, he died of a plague; people would not touch his body out of fear of contamination and dumped mud and stones on him where he died to make it his grave.
A key foundation to believing that a scripture is actually a revelation of God is internal truth, whether it be in regards to occurrences in the past, to come in the future, or in contemporary ages. As one can see, there are many prophecies mentioned in that which is to come, some of which were fulfilled in the Prophet’s lifetime, or have been fulfilled since his death, while others are yet to appear
Salahuddin started his career as a drunkard and a treacherous traitor to nooruddin zinkee which proves many Muslim hero have a evil past hence never give up always hold onto the rope of Allah and Allah blessing guidance will come if when he wills
please make sound system more clear. your one lecture mean one book to me. so pls look after the sound system in future works.
Brother I don't ever like history but after seeing ur content I thank Allah that he has given a source for me so that I can research upon.
Brother suggest me some study material where from I start study Islamic Civilization
Sultan salahudin ayyubi AL ASHARI and today people are attacking the asharia aqeeda calling them Ahl al bidda why don't they label sultan salahudin ayyubi as ahl al biddah because they know the entire Muslim world would spit on the salafi's of saudi
