Dr Ali Ataie, love his academic approach and the way he breaks things down and explains complex subject matter. More of Dr Ali Ataie please 🙏🏽. Jzk khairun brother Paul ❤️

May Allah weigh your words heavy on best of days and protect you both and all our scholars. Ameen

Today Allah SWT answers my prayer for Dr Ali to talk about Satanic Verses. JazakaLlah and Tq to both of you...

This channel is literally a house of wisdom, a wide open treasure of VAST AMOUNTS of knowledge just there sitting to be viewed. May Allah Reward you for all your efforts Paul.

It’s really unfortunate that people fabricated “verses” to advance their personal interests. Thanks for the video, great information.

I, as a Muslim, am very proud of you Doctor Ali!

Best Islamic info channel on KZfaq hands down ! No topic or subject is off limits and covered thoroughly

Sheikh Paul you just stumbled on Ibn Taymia's position! How good! May Allah preserve you, Dr Ali and Muslim scholars past and present.

Dr Ali Ataie is a hidden gem. It's great to see that he's being platformed more. He really needs his own KZfaq channel.

Dr.Ali Ataie حفظہ اللہ Ocean of knowledge By ALLAH's grace

JazakAllah Khair for posting this brother Paul 👍🏻👌🏻 _May Allah ﷻ bless you both and reward you for your efforts._ 🤲🏻

Always a pleasure to hear Dr. Ataie speak. Thanks for clipping this separately Paul!

I couldn't even recognize a beardless Paul, amazing how humans get so accustomed to a thing and quickly notice a difference.

This channel educates you not focus on entertainment. Everyone learns

Yasir Qadhi's explanation is good too. Quite comprehensive and easy to understand

Thank you Paul for this enriching channel, wise respectful host, amazing knowledgeable guests, and fruitful discussions

Superb discussion, perfectly timed given the recent events that transpired. Thank you Paul and Dr. Ataie!

This story if true it actually proves the sincerity of the prophet because why would he not exploit the pagans through verses like these when according to the story they believed in him after the verse ? Why would he chose to remain on monotheism when he and his companions would be persecuted ? This was to be the peak of his power why would he give that power up for monotheism ?

Outstanding video thank you sir Paul and Dr Ali Atai keep it up ❤️

It was a wonderful show by two very intelligent Muslims. May Allah rewards them immensely. Ameen

I’ve been waiting so long to see you guys together again, I hope that you continue to do another one with our beloved professor on

Discussing about a particular religion or about any religious figure in a proper manner from reliable sources should have no issues, but making up things just to hurt others is totally different. This person did exactly that and got what he called for. And don't lecture us to become a spineless community where nobody stands up for nothing, where you can walk the road wearing a T-shirt saying "Jesus is g**" when He never was!

This channel can be just Dr Ali and I'd still come to watch whenever there's a new video

Thank you brother Paul and Dr Ali for such insightful conversation. Jazakallah.

truly outstanding, we need a transcript of this talk

Brother Paul, I’m so glad I did not waste my time on this subject the 1st time you published this topic (no disrespect just picking my priorities, appreciate all your hard work btw), till yesterday I had no idea who the author of this “book” nor what this is all about and so glad I’m still in that way, so many critical topics I’m ignorant about.

Jazakumullahu Khairan, very informative

Thank you sir for having Dr Ali .. his explanations make sense. Greetings from Morocco 🇲🇦

What I don't get is how on earth did a man armed with knife pass the security? And how did attacker post about this on FB when they have an AI that IMMEDIATELY flags posts about Gaza /Hamas or against LGTV, but let this guy post to his heart content. Search Google for Rushdie's location, then arriving at the scene , pass the security with a knife. Let's be honest, nobody's heard Salman Rushdie's name perhaps in decades. Onky a few articles about him a few months ago for some reason. He's 75 years of age.The Iranians gov actually made this guy popular. They've done far far worse in term of insulting Quran, the ahadeeth and the sahaba! It's a joke. The endgame is to use this guy as a symbol against Islamic extremism. Nobody's gonna care the assailant who's American citizen, is pro-Iran, pro Solemani & pro-Khomeini. Rushdie could've died died at 76 and be forgotten. But this attack serves the secular liberalists agenda as well as the far rights.

Superb deconstruction of the calumny against the Messenger ﷺ and the Qur’an. ما شاء الله We are blessed to have this brother in our ranks. Thank you, Paul, for hosting him. 🌹لا اله الا الله محمد رسول الله🌹

Dear Paul, It would be interesting to have Roy Casangranda as your guest for historical subject.

I still can’t believe the guy wrote a whole book based on some fabricated story 🤡

Salman the apostating liar spent majority of his life in hiding and fear for writing falsehood in order to sell it and gain popularity. I pray that Allah guides him The ending statement of brother ali is priceless. Quran will take care of itself, no lie can approach it from any side. It defends itself from the beginning of its revelation until the hour is established. It is a majestic book and a criteria between truth and falsehood

Because you show me the Importance of real scholars and why we dhpulmed be left to our own biases! Ever! Seeking knowledge is must not a luxury and this touches on the human psyhce too! It is incredible اللهم لك الحمد 🤲

Do you know when Dr. Ataie will be on Blogging Theology again, Paul? Can't wait for part 2 of your last discussion.

Thank you both for this short great video with in depth criticism of the so called Satanic Verses

As always, amazing😍!

Much needed video . Thank you Sir.

May Allah bless both of you. Increase the Imma with credible and intellectual scholars. Ameen

Haha I just watched the original video on your channel of this just last night from a year or so ago.

JazakAllahu khairan

Dr Attaee is my favourite scholar. May Allah bless you both.

You are both great scholars ; great analysis

Great video! ❤❤❤

*These Satanic verses are there in the earliest 'siirah' literature by Ibn Ishaq (died: 770) and its true that Muslims fabricated many ahaadiith. One of the worst was Abu Hurairah ad-Dausi, and the the so-called satanic verses are mentioned discussed only in works of Sunni scholars - eminent one at that. The family of the Prophet, the Ahlul Bayt, and their followers rejected it outright and never accepted it* . More details here: -*Ibn Ishaq in the oldest 'siirah' we have* : “Have you thought of al-Lat and al-Uzza and Manat, the third ... these are the exalted Gharaniq (high flying intermediary birds) whose intercession is approved.” (Sirat-ur-Rasul Allah by Ibn Ishaq, pages. 165-166 , and more on pages 166-167) - *The Muslim historian and Quran exegete al-Tabari* (الطبری) has this: “I have fabricated things against God and have imputed to Him words which He has not spoken”. (The History of al-Tabari, Vol. 6, page.111) - *Muhammad ibn Ibn Sa'd in his at-tabaqaat al-kubra says* : “The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, repeated them (the satanic verses), and he went on reciting the whole of Surah (53) and then fell in prostration, and the people (the Quraysh) fell in prostration with him”. (Ibn Sa'd, vol. 1, page. 237) - *Ibn Sa'd also noted the Prophet's confession* : "Then the Prophet confessed: I ascribed to Allah, what He had not said. (Ibn Sa'd, vol. 1, page. 237) - *Bukhari 4862* : From Ibn Abbas: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ سَجَدَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالنَّجْمِ وَسَجَدَ مَعَهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ وَالْجِنُّ وَالإِنْسُ‏.‏ تَابَعَهُ ابْنُ طَهْمَانَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ‏. *The Prophet(s) performed a prostration when he finished reciting Surat-an-Najm, and all the Muslims and pagans and Jinns and human beings prostrated along with him* Ibn Sa’d, Ibn Abi Hatim, Ibn al-Mundhir, Ibn Mardawiyah, Musa ibn 'Uqba and Abu Ma'shar all mention the event of “االْغَرَانِيقُ الْعُلْيَ” (Satanic Verses) in their exegeses and / or historical literature. Apparently, Ibn Sa'd used Wakidi's material, while at-Tabari used Ibn Ishaq's material as well as from Wakidi, plus others. The Quran has this: وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ وَلَا نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا إِذَا تَمَنَّى أَلْقَى الشَّيْطَانُ فِي أُمْنِيَّتِهِ فَيَنسَخُ اللَّهُ مَا يُلْقِي الشَّيْطَانُ ثُمَّ يُحْكِمُ اللَّهُ آيَاتِهِ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ" (22:52) "We have never sent any messenger or prophet before thee, but that Satan cast into his fancy, when he was fancying; but God annuls what Satan casts, then God confirms His signs - surely God is All-knowing, All-wise." Surprisingly,the first caliph, Abu Bakr, too fabricated a hadiith that Lady Fatimah, the Prophet's daughter, pointed out that this hadiith -that one no ever heard of- completely contradicts the Quran.The hadiith in question is: نخن معاشر الأنبياء لا نورث ما تركنا صدقة *We prophets do not leave inheritance, what we leave behind is charity* . As many have pointed out before, this supposed hadiith patently CONTRADICTS the Quran (!), and Hz. Fatimah bint ar-Rasuulilah pointed this out when she recited: :النمل , ١٦) وَوَرِثَ سُلَيْمَانُ دَاوُودَ *And Sulaiman inherited from Dawood* (Surah an-Namal, verse 16). There are other examples in the Quran which Hz. Fatimah quoted (e.g. Hz Zakariya asking for a progeny to inherit from him!), thus reminding all present that these quotations are from the Quran, something many of the early Muslims had no clue of as they didn't know the Quran. Those who did / could read, might have known but many didn't know the contents of the Quran and / or how to read it. We need to remember literacy was rare in 7th century Arabia! All this is relevant to how religion and the Quran was understood at the time, including the Quranic view of inheritance. The property of Fadak that the First Caliph had usurped on the basis of this false hadiith was therefore unlawful. Fadak was given to Hz. Fatimah by her father during his lifetime. It was NOT "ghaniimah" but was "fayy" - no horse or foot (i.e. cavalry & infantry) had conquered it, but was part of a settlement, Consequently, it was at his discretion who to give it to. The produce from it was used as charity to help the poor, as many of our historians mention. *Many ahaadiith were fabricated and people used them left right and centre. There are pointers in our historical and hadiith literature that should make us think hard* !

Salam from Iraqi kurdistan! We appreciate you alot.

بارك الله فيكم.

Plus These invented verses should have been placed right after verses 19-20 which mention the idols, but we find that the prostration mark appears in the last verse (62) of the chapter that says: So prostrate yourselves to Allah and worship! *The prophet never stopped reciting until he finished the entire chapter*

Masha'allah well explained .

Very well explained.. thank you..

As always, Masha'Allah amazing video ❤

Thank you

Wisdom & intellect mashallah
