I was reverted ..This channel worth millions of views and followers ..May Allah protect and bless you brother ..☪️☪️

Being born a non-Arabic speaking Muslim, this channel is helping me understand our sacred book Quran. My faith is increasing listening to these lectures. May Allah bless you guys in this world and hereafter. Thank you

Paul , you are a significant person to us. May allah bless you. And all the Muslim fellow who will see my comment, please pray for me. I have been facing severe depression since 10 years.

Paul , plz eat healthy and live a long life , while we are praying ALLAH for ur long life . Your content Are reliable because u have a scholar class , book in ur background, ur knowledge, ur popularity that scholar and professor from different reputed institution come . U ARE BRINGING REVOLUTION. SIR.

For those who want to dive deeper into the topic, Dr Louay wrote wonderful book abook about the topic, thank you Dr louay for showing us what those differences in between the Bible and the quran indicates too ,may Allah bless you and your bloved one, and thank you brothers Paul for wonderful content that enhance our knowledge as usual may Allah reward you for your good work in this life and the life after.

"We tell you [Prophet] the best of stories in revealing this Quran to you. Before this you were one of those who knew nothing about them." Quran: Yusuf: verse 3. Indeed, Allah tells the best of stories, full of wisdom, flawless flow of events with enough details yet concise.

Alhamdulillah you brought Dr. Fatoohi back on, the last ones were very marvelous, learned so much about the Exodus, Allah Bless you for all your effort to enlighten us Paul, and bringing such wonderful guest. Waiting for Professor Ali Ataie again .

Salam, brother Paul. As a revert, your content benefits me so much. I wanted to ask when the episode with Dr. Ataie refuting the alleged borrowing theories is going to be released? May Allah bless you 🤲🏻🥰

Dr Fatoohi is one of my favourite guests, always covering crucial topics with depth & nuisance. May Allah always keep you both steadfast 🤲🏾

Your vlogs are helping in understanding Islam and making the message of the Quran so much clearer. Thank you

Fascinating material and engaging presentation. The good Dr. Fatoohi, like Ms. Marpel, surly has a keen eye for revelatory details the average reader would skip blithely over without notice or care. He also must have good patience for this type of research.

Mashallah. My favorite channel on KZfaq and all social media. Edit: this, like your other works, will be something i visit many times over.

A very good point about the words the stars, the sun and moon being arranged in a different from the other verses. I read the verse many times and listened to its recitation even more but I never noticed it. Truly the Quran is like a mathematical text. Every word and I mean every word is in its right place. No one can pay that much attention to details like that when one writes a book. Thank you doctor Fatoohi for the insight. If there is anyone interested to know more about the Quran and the accuracy of expressions should watch Dr Fadhel Saleh As-Samarrai for more Quran gems. His videos are only in Arabic though.

SubhanAllah I’ve been pondering this exact topic lately, can’t wait to dig in! Jazakumullah Khairan uncle Paul!

More brilliant content of the very highest order. Thank you. God bless you both. And may God guide all seekers of knowledge

Masya Allah this is a remarkable and inspiring talk. It is a great reminder for me how Allah SWT has deviced in a plan. The prophet PBUH has passed away, like other human being, long ago but the miraculous book stays with us, enduring the time in an amazing way, as a devine guidance for believers and for those who seek the thruthful way. Thank you.

Really enjoyed this - concise clear and engaging. Thank you to both . Allah swt grant you both health and success ameen

What a learned individual Dr Fatoohi is .Agree that Sheik Paul's interjections add alot of value jazakumullah Kheir for both of yours.

I found you on KZfaq at the gym working out as a western Muslim I have learned so much through your theology guests may Allah bless you and keeping me up-to-date in my dean I have learned more from you than my Muslim family who has no knowledge of all this it’s a shame but that’s what happens to Wanda grows up in a western world and not exposed to Islamic rules and religion knowledge so thank you so much I love you my Allah bless you and all your guests thank you

Thank you so much Dr. Fatoohi (and Paul) for this very enlightening discussion; the subtleties presented were overwhelming.

Always enjoy Br. Paul’s work and the guests he brings on for discussions. May Allah reward and preserve you. Ameen.

May Allah shower His blessings upon Brother Paul and his esteemed guests for their unwavering commitment to assisting individuals in their quest for the true religion. I must express my utmost admiration for the captivating presentation delivered by the distinguished Dr. Fatoohi.

Thanks! For the extremely valuable knowledge

This was an amazingly informative video and gave me newfound appreciation of the story of Joseph. May you both live long fulfilling lives insha'Allah

Masha Allah Awesome presentation.

May Allah SWT bless and reward u both

MashaAllah, another wonderful lecture! I'm a huge admirer of Dr. Fatoohi, have enjoyed his lectures, purchased his books. I can't help but feel I've enrolled in a wonderful class (or classes), led/orchestrated by our wonderful Professor Paul Williams. More of this kind of content, please!

I like dr Louay Fatoohi noticing these profound details maa shaa Allah! Very interesting video Alhamdoulillah!

My favorite Surah in the Quran subhanAllah! The Surah is a beautiful example of Ring Composition structure and theme which is prevalent throughout the Quran but specifically this Surah. JazakAllah Khair to Bro. Paul and Dr. Fatoohi.

Masha Allah 🥰❣️☝️may both blessed reward knowledge to learn more

At the end of everything, i can't accept nor imagine that the very almighty God that created the this whole universe and can vanish it in less than a second would be humiliated or beaten. Never ever.

Assalamualaikum dear brothers, MasaAllah great program. May Allah swt bless you both always.

Very insightful!

Very interesting topic brother Paul as usual, still watching this video, I watched the video you did with Dr Louay about the indeed controversial topic of abrogation. I wanted to ask if you can host a person on the other side of the argument of abrogation, perhaps a presentation just as academic as the one Dr Louay did. I wanted to make an informed decision on the subject and to be honest your channel has become my number one place to get academic perspectives on matters like this. It would be nice to get a traditional perspective on this issue as well. I'll also look through the channel and see if you made any other videos on the subject. Thank you for every thing you're doing for the community. I pray that god rewards you for everything good that you do and forgive you for everything bad that you do.

Another fascinating episode

Extraordinary, beautifully presented topic to its forensic analysis , bearing lofty message by both has no predecessor .

Surat Yusuf was and will always be my favorite surah of the Holy Quran,Love the story itself,the way it was told,the lessons learned thanks to it,the people involved in it,And just love the way it always surprise me with something new I didn't pay attention to before,it just seems like each time you read it, reflect on it you ended up discovering something new which is totally understandable ND expected from the words of our Creator

Fanta, really! Loved it! Allah bless both of you

Thank you for another fantastic video Paul

Thank you so much for your great efforts to inform us. May Allah bless you 🤲🌺🌺🌺🌺

Very inspiring and informative discussion

Another small, but might be significant, is what brothers of Yousef used to come and carry the Goods on in Quran is Camels … while in the Biblical story it was Donkeys.. the significance is the distances they were travelling and the needs to carry big amounts of Goods which only camels can !

Again a great video. Your channel is marvelous brother Paul. Thanks for inviting experts in the field to discuss important issue related to Islam.

I am a descendent of bani Joseph tribe according to my pashtun side of family

Thank you both

I love the last point very much … very brilliant point بارك الله بكم

MashaAllah, have no words left, this is the first time i am seeing Dr. Fatoohi , Alhamdulillah he's doing a fantastic job. And your channel as well, your video of king Charles 3 about Islam randomly came 2-3 days ago to me. Thank you Subscribed you

Best comparative narrative out there, great content and useful

What kind of high class of mindes these two have ? Bless you Paul , bless you Fattohi

Congratulations once again for brilliant content and discussion. These discussions are so valuable and you learn a tremendous amount. Shukran to both of you. May Allah grant you health to present many more of these wonderful interviews

Enjoyed your university class.

This vid was fantastic thanks Paul and dr

Amazing discussion

Dear Brother. I am really excited to see a Muslim who is specialized in cosmology. I have been longing to understand cosmology and the quranic understanding. Would you be kind enough to start a series on cosmology in Islam view with this particular guest of yours. thank you in advance.

May Allah bless you brother Paul snd Louay. This discussion was an iman booster. I would have loved to hear more from you brother Paul about your reflections on the Quranic description of the disciples that you mentioned almost at the end.

Love the simple explanation with PowerPoint presentation 🌹 no confusion, very clear May Allah reward you

Surah number 12 & joseph was number 12 in the family

“Jacob lost his sight but not his faith “ Nice comment ( reminder) by Dr. L Thanks to both brothers . Just my thought : Br. Paul from west and Dr. L from East . Meet on this channel East and West belong to Allah and His light illuminates East and west. Inshallah one day peace shall prevail .

You guys give brothers vibe 😭❤️

SubhanAllah Wal hamdulillah Wa la ilaha illallahu Wallahu Akhbar...!!! You all, our beloved brothers sisters, who do dawah voluntarily on the streets and everywhere on earth, with sincerity, your own efforts and willingness, are the best among the Ummah. We love you all. We therefore seek mercy and help from Allah SWT to grant our brothers and sisters with the strength, courage, bravery and good health, to bring the messages of our Rasulullah Mohammed PBUH to all mankind and grant you all, our brothers and sisters, with a place in Jannah. Aamiin Yarobbil Aalamiin 🕌 🌙 🤲🤲🤲 💖 🌹

Hi Paul.I am glad your keeping well. God will use whom , he will. You Paul is that person who is representing God. You are a chosen one. May God guide you and strengthen you. ❤️🥰👍✌🏽

Great, great & great. Thank you both.

Yes, so interesting. It is so fascinating after some deep study of the Bible and the Quran and then see a qualified person compare the two. It is fascinating how the Quran constantly subverts the biblical message (in a good way) like how Jacob's death scene becomes about God and not about tribes.

I highly recommend the book that Dr. Louay wrote about this subject

Biggest ignorance in human life is human ability to follow forefathers rather than searching truth

The story of Yusuf (es) is not only beautiful in its content but style. Ibn tayyimiah thought when Quran talks surah Yusuf (es) to be the best of ‏قصص which could be interpreted by best in style or rhetoric that can be said of course for every ayah in any case. It’s unique virtue as masterpiece in everything, whether , content, style rhetoric etc. The story is precise and beautifully related with many lessons that can be extracted from each and every verse. There were two Saudi brothers Who extracted 1000 lessons from the story of Yusuf (es) MashaAllah. Asma. Haq. Yusuf.

Watch Nouman Ali Khan's "Surah Yusuf" series to really appriciate the amazing story. It's long but worth it. Bayinnah also has about 3 episodes (that I could find) for Bible/Qur'an comparison on Joseph (pbuh).

1:43:00 this theory of Prophet Muhammad (sas) compiling all these known and unknown sources in order to produce the Qur'an becomes even more ridiculous when you consider the mere time it would consume of a person. How on earth should the Prophet be able to have done it during his migration to Medina, all the battles, being a husband, father, friend, imam and so on. We would have to hear : oh on this occasion he was unavailable because he was compiling/putting together the Qur'an 🙈 but nobody ever claimed this about the prophet. And on top of it, imagine, all of this in the oral form 🤯 so at the end this orientalist arrive at a theory which in itself would require a miracle in order to be true 😅 In any case: barakallahu fik brother Paul for the excellent kind of content you provide.

I feel enriched with the insights given by you, Dr.Fatoohi. Thank you for hosting him in BT. May Allah bless you both.

A merger of bookshelves!!

MashAllah, this is unbelievably in depth and intriguing. JazakAllah brothers

May Alloh SWT,bless both,...Aamiinyarobalamin...🤲🏿🤲🏿🤲🏿🤲🏿🤲🏿

Pretty incredible. Just had a talk with a christian friend and we talk about the issue of the name Pharaoh not being in use during Joseph’s time. He wanted proofs, well Allah is the best of planners.

May Alloh SWT blessed you both in Jannah,the good explaination about the two books...🤲🏿🤲🏿🤲🏿🤲🏿🤲🏿

Great analysis, Dr. Fatoohi is a really balanced and insightful scholar.

Woww! What a wonderful analysis! Thanks #Paul for inviting this scholar.

Make multi languages captions for the videos please

tqvm doc n bro paul for discussing this topic..very interesting 👍❤😁

Salam to both of you, thank you so much, what a great discussion

Am always looking out for more from Dr louay fatoohi. Thank you brother Paul. May Allah reward you.

this is high level of analysis , i think this should be like postdoc lectures in religion comparing departments .

i loved this episode so much ❤️❤️ so rich in informations thank you

Scholarly discussion bordered on realistic evidences, comparative resources and prevailing misconceptions. The story of Prophet Joseph (aws) as narrated in the Holy Qur'an, shed lights to some inconsistencies contained in the bible and added more realistic true happenings... Allah Wakbar!

I wish this page removes these scam like ads but besides that great discussion.

@Blogging Theology Would it be possible for you to invite Karen Armstrong?

It is beautiful as always.

The Pharaoh at the time of Joseph is called a king in the book of _Jubilees_ , dated to c. 200 BCE; after the _Torah_ had been composed and 900 years before the composition of the Qur'an. _Jubilees_ was a well known text already, and is clearly a source used to compose both the Qur'an and biography of Muhammad. Qur'an Chapter 12 is demonstrably a written account of an oral text, a retelling of the Joseph story found in Genesis, Chapters 37-50 (but also from other sources, as mentioned above). As the guest speaker explains, the Genesis story of Joseph is more detailed than the Qur'an (i e. provides details, such as names, locations, etc, which are mostly absent in _Sura_ 12). This should be expected in a retelling, where literary texture is typically lost due to forgetfulness and other (often intentional) changes to the narrative text: oftentimes, names and numbers are forgotten during retellings, as only the gist is conveyed. By way of example, the Qur'an doesn't identify the traders who bought Joseph; does not mention the names of Joseph's brothers; does not tell of Joseph's age or how much he was sold for; and so on. The emphases of the story are changed too: the trauma of Jacob's grief at losing his favourite son is lost in the Qur'an, which adds theological elements to the text (as noted in the presentation). No doubt, many textual variations in the Joseph story occurred during its transmission and performance, such that the Qur'an version itself may have been adapted for its audience multiple times before being canonised; such as the story of Jacob having his sight returned to him by having his head covered by a piece of Joseph's clothing. After all, the biblical story repeatedly tells us that Jacob could see (e.g. Gen. 42:35; 45:27; 46:30).

The Quran has no errors. Only thing that wasn’t emphasized when he was giving examples at the end of this wonderful discussion.

to Bro Paul AsSlamunAlaykum, I would appreciate it if you could relay this information to Dr. Ali Ataie. And if you can't then at least I tried to inform him. At least he will get the chance to evaluate it. This is a symbol that is YHWH. First it is not a name and it is not a spoken word. It is an adjective that is attributive and descriptive. Also it is some form of an acronym. Also it is not a word that is pronounceable but it can be acted out. Also it is Arabic in origin. Until Moses/Musa AS went to Median the Israelites were not given this "Name" of Allah AwJ. Moses/Musa AS received it after he met His Father in-law Jethro/Shoayb AS, in Median. Jethro/Shoayb AS was an Arab. Before then the Israelites did not know God by that "Name". Exo 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. So This "NAME" was revealed to Him through Jethro/Shoayb AS who was a Prophet. And since Jethro was an Arab He spoke Arabic. And YHWH was not pronounced because it cannot be pronounced. It is an acronym because each letter signifies something. However it is acted out in a sense. In the Quran there is Stand alone letters like ALM or TH or YS or KHYAS, that is evidence that Arabs used this type of communication for those that could understand the intricacies of the Arabic Language. And most IMPORTANTLY it was a SIGN for the Jews as well as for the Arabs, that they would be able to confirm that What The Prophet REVEALED was from Allah AwJ. Since YHWH is in the Arabic style of Communication, one would have to decipher it's meaning using the Arabic Language. Let me elaborate. "YHWH" : The "Y" or YA is, as is in Arabic a vocative or beseeching. Like saying - "OH" my Father or "OH" my Mother. Like wise it signifies "OH" my God. this is where you have many Jews and Christians that will say the Name of God is YAH. The first "H" stands for breathing in or out. So if you stand really quite and take a BREATH you will notice a slight H sounding voice emitted. The "W" WA as is in Arabic means "and". The second "H" also signifies to a BREATHING, in or out. One breath always follows the other. So if you accept that God gave the Breath of Life then it becomes apparent that this action is being done by people as long as they are alive. Everyone is alive by expressing this "NAME" of God. The only difference between people is that Believers do this invoking God and being Grateful/Hamd and disbelievers are doing it in ignorance, but doing it none the less. So when you are doing the action "Ya(H)Hu" by breathing in and out while invoking the vocative "Ya", you can appreciate the meaning. In essence it stands for beseeching God/Allah AwJ by saying "OH the one who has given me the ability to BREATH IN AND BREATH OUT". In other words "LIFE" / EXISTANCE. As Muslims say " ya hay ياحي " Let me add that this is similar to the "HURÛF-ı MUKATTAAT الحروف المقطّعة" These are the stand alone letters that are in the Beginning of some of the Surats/Chapters in the Quran. The Stand Alone Letters which are original in the Quran and are in the Arabic Language. So it is ONE of the Reasons that The Jews should be able to RECOGNIZE that the Quran is a Revelation from God because of this anomaly. The "HURÛF-ı MUKATTAAT in the Quran must also have had this correlation with the Scripture that Moses had BROUGHT from God. Allahu AA'lam . Salam.

there are multiple Jewish Torahs such as the Samaritan, Babylonian Septuagint, the masoretic( current version) as well as the alexanderian text so how can it be considered one text

Great job, brother Paul. Now we need another episode that covers the differences between them on the story of Moses!

Can you please bring him to compare the story of Dhulqarnain and the legends of Alexander

Amazing!

Amazing!, Highly appreciated

I'd love this for every prophet

Salaam Paul. In the Quran the high priest of pharaoh is mentioned by name (haman) and commanded to build a high tower. Is there any mention of this name in other scriptures or archiolgical finds? Jzk

Stealing "Allah's Blessing" form a Prophet (a.s) how can People believe men can steal Prophethood form the Lord of all word's!

Quran and Bible are the Books of God.
