I have added subtitles to the video in a number of languages

In just a few months, I learnt from this channel what I did not learn from twelve years of "Islamic studies" in school. God bless you Paul.

It’s simple really. If someone says Muhammed didn’t exist, then they need to say that Ali ibn Abu taleb, Hassan, Hussein, Zain Al Abedeen etc.. didn’t exist. That’s a lot of people you need to prove didn’t exist

Xtian missionaries: "Muhammad didn't exist". Byzantine and Sassanids: "Then whose *companions* brought us to our knees? Are we jokes to you?"

Keep going! You're filling a crucial gap using fair and balanced academic discourse.

He exists In our hearts also , may blessings and peace be upon him.

Wow I had no clue there were people who actually speak this way. Thank you once again brother Paul. Mashallah we all learn so much from you and your myriad of books. I really liked the part where you read that 'how could they rewrite a whole century of their history, especially when they could not agree on anything and were in constant civil fights.' What a logical argument!

I find it extreme skepticism to just throw away the oral history of a nation

Western historian: "Muhammad appears to be very important to Islam indeed" This is the point we're at with these people.

If you can't beat it, just deny it exists! Pathetic 😂

Br Paul, you're indeed spending your time where it should be spent. May Allah reward you for he's the all-knowing.

Paul, this video was very special. I like how you tackle difficult topics like these in a straight forward manner and don't beat around the bush.

Muhammad PBUH was indeed a mighty messenger of Allah, Great presentation Br. Paul may Allah protect you and Guide us all to his true Path.

love and respect to our beloved prophet Muhammad (SAW)

peace and blessings be upon our beloved prophet Muhammad 😍😍😍😍😍, i love you i wanna see you

Just saw a video with this exact title from jay Smith and some ex Muslim couple days ago and I was like ,these people are not serious!!!

Great content - would love to have a live discussion with you on your approach and objectives if possible. The Muslim community is impressed by your work but we want to know what is next.

Was literally just thinking about you and you uploaded. Keep going br Paul. Also when are more short 1 min videos coming, they are awesome 👌

I can't believe how the arrogance of some missionaries made them ask this question!, they want to eliminate the Islamic civilization morally by any means.

I’m Ethiopian and Muhammad (s.a.w) exists in our history even before he was born . one of our king called Izana ( Abraha) went to destroy the Kaaba and he and his soldiers died in Arabia ... also the king nejashi became a Muslim after he received a message from our prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) , despite our kings were Christians and anti Muslim the history is still there and the grave of some of the Sahabas is still in Al nejashi mosque surrounding.

Muhammad SAW is named in Indian history at the time he hadn't even migrated to Medina. A cheraman Perumal king named Ravi Varman met Muhammad and converted to Islam. People deny it but it is written down in bhramanic (Hindu) text 'kerarolpathi' which has been revised by many dutch and Portuguese chronicles of the time. There's a mosque in the same area of kodungallur dated 624 AD.. Enough evidence from 'non-muslim' sources I guess. Edit: I just found that the above information is on Wikipedia as well 😂😂😂😂😂

Stay blessed Paul! Respect & Duaas! 💚

Ohhh I've been waiting foe dis one

Paul you have my utmost respect for your academic integrity! 🙂

If Muhammad did not exist then what are missionary going to do with those anonymous gospels and 1 mention of Jesus outside them 80 years later lol

Paul i want you to think just how much sadaqa jariah(voluntary charity) good deeds you are getting thro the good information you are relaying to all of us. Inshallah bro your scales will be heavy with many good deeds and our prayers for you on the day of judgement.

Excellent, Paul! Continue with your fantastic work. 👍🏾

Allah blessed you Paul, you taught me what I have never known about Muslim, or the Islam. Despite that I came from Muslim background, what I learned from you built so much about my knowledge of Islam. Thank you.

Just a week ago I came across such comment. It was indeed a surprise.

An interesting topic, it can get quite confusing at times but I’m glad you decided to tackle it. I’d suggest you focus more on the early origins of Islam, I believe it would be beneficial to have your contribution to the discussion

Paul, you are the sound of reason during the current time we live in.... your gift of enlightenment, immense knowledge, and perseverance compliment your very strength of intellect, reason, and rationality. Thank you for all your contributions....

God bless you Paul. What a great content! This channel is awesome & provides valuable content! Thank you for posting Sir!

Good view. You are giving outside the muslim perspective. It has enharnsed Islam.

Thank you for another educational video Paul 👍🏼

Eloquent presentation as usual. Clearing the misconceptions at it's best. Thank you.

Thank you so so much for this video brother Paul.You are Awesome👍.You made this video on my request.I m very thankful to you.May Allah give give you paradise ameen🤲🏻

Excellent key points👍

*Reverend R. Bosworth-Smith wrote in "Mohammed & Mohammedanism" (in 1946):* "Head of the state as well as the Church, he was Caesar and Pope in one; but, he was pope without the pope's claims, and Caesar without the legions of Caesar, without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue. If ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by a Right Divine, it was Mohammad, for he had all the power without instruments and without its support. He cared not for dressing of power. The simplicity of his private life was in keeping with his public life."

Your videos make me feel like im in an online class and you're my lecturer love it

One of the most interesting 7th century accounts about Prophet Muhammad is from Sebeos who was a Bishop of the House of Bagratunis. Sebeos is the first non-Muslim author to present us with a theory for the rise of Islam that pays attention to what the Muslims themselves thought they were doing: *At that time a certain man from along those same sons of Ishmael, whose name was Mụhammad, a merchant, as if by God's command appeared to them as a preacher and the path of truth. He taught them to recognize the God of Abraham, especially because he was learnt and informed in the history of Moses. Now because the command was from on high, at a single order they all came together in unity of religion. Abandoning their vain cults, they turned to the living God who had appeared to their father Abraham. So, Muhammad legislated for them: not to eat carrion, not to drink wine, not to speak falsely, and not to engage in fornication. He said: 'With an oath God promised this land to Abraham and his seed after him for ever. And he brought about as he promised during that time while he loved Israel. But now you are the sons of Abraham and God is accomplishing his promise to Abraham and his seed for you. Love sincerely only the God of Abraham, and go and seize the land which God gave to your father Abraham. No one will be able to resist you in battle, because God is with you.* *- R. G. Hoyland, Seeing Islam As Others Saw It: A Survey And Evaluation Of Christian, Jewish And Zoroastrian Writings On Early Islam, 1997, p. 129* We can see that Sebeos knows plenty of personal information about Prophet Muhammad. For example, he is aware that Muhammad was a merchant by profession before his Prophethood. He hints that his life was suddenly changed by a divinely inspired revelation. He presents a good summary of Prophet Muhammad's preaching i.e belief in One God and Abraham as a common ancestor of Jews and Arabs. He even picks out some of the prohibitions which are mentioned in the Qur'an, such as false speech and drinking of alcohol. All this information that Sebeos presents accurately conforms to the Islamic traditions. Many take such detailed, early and accurate accounts about Prophet Muhammad for granted but it's actually quite rare with figures from ancient history.

May Allah reward you immensely Keep coming with such wonderful stuff❤❤❤

Allahumdullah he didn't live like the queens and kings of his time and the greatest human lived on the planet even in the time of judgement day he will be the greatest

How could I get the text and references of the information you provided in this video. May Allah guide and bless you.

How about the letters stamped by the finger ring of Prophet Mohammad which had been sent to Hercules , Persia and various Arab tribes inviting them to worship one GOD that are still exist until today in museums in Turkey and in Collection Places in Saudi Arabia. Also, the sites of battles and graveyards of early Muslim martyrs are still exist until today. Also, the birth place of Prophet Mohammad, some of the clothings and His Tomb all still exist until today and can be visited by public. The doubters of MOHAMMAD are the same doubters of Quran and Islam ; even some of them suggested that MAKKAH the birth place of Mohammad was the city of ALBETRAA in Jordan not the one in Hijaz trying to separate Kaaba from Mohammad’s Life and linkage. Doubters had no shame to deform the truth , such people had been doing it since PROPHET MOSES , JESUS and they ended up with MOHAMMAD!. “ They want to blank out the light of God in their mouths, and God refuses unless our light is fulfilled.”

Dakwah by knowledge. This is among the highest form of dakwah. Congratulation, Sir.

I just keep thinking where were you all this time? Why you started on youtube only recently?

More knowledge, thank you Mr. Paul

Thank you for the video brother Paul

MashaAllah, very interesting! I learned a lot from this channel...

God I love your book reviews. I love your polite English attitude of "dissing" "Cook-Cronism."

Is there a way to contact you Paul? thanks

Keep going Paul you are a man of knowledge

Amazing video. Unfortunately youtube doesn't suggest it among the first one if you look for "Did Muhammad exist?" because of how many videos where already done about this subject. I found the link on a comment section with people arguing about the existence of Muhammad. Well now when they ask for sources I know where I should bring them

Peace be upon you Brother Paul

Paul sir, could you give us your take on the gospels of st.thomas?? It was found in the 1940's and contains 3 stories of Jesus that are Not in the bible but IS in the Qur'an.

with such a short time you go so much into depth, it is just marvelous

Jazak' ALLAH khair for your work br Paul.

This gentleman comes up with astonishing proves even the well known Islamic scholars never even thought of. May Allah guide you Paul to his vast mercy.

Very interesting video Mr. Paul. Thank you.

Please can you do a similar video about Moses and Abraham? as i have tried to do my own research on this very subject regarding these two individuals but haven't got far. Great video.

7:07 in my humble opinion, this is a very strong argument against the claim that the Prophet (PBUH) didn't really exist. Brother Paul, thank you so much for sharing these interesting topics through your regular vlogging.

What an educated and sophisticated approach. Such a breath of fresh air in today's time of hate mongering and baseless slanderous assumptions being shouted out from rooftops. May Allah bless you

Thank you for your excellent and informative videos. Skiptics usually argues the existance of

Much needed video. Thank you very much dear.

So informative this lecture is. May Allah bless you sir.

We love you brother Paul in this life and the next everlasting life.

Thank you sir .. listening to you is a treat. Thanks again

Bonsoir de france. Je ne suis pas d'accord avec vous. Comment faites vous la différence entre le nom et le titre de muhammad ? Dans les sources donne t-on le nom ou le titre ? Car cela change tout ! Merci de votre retour.

The prophet is such a big threat to them that they are still trying to make him disappear till this day. And he left us more than 1400 years ago.

Thank you so much sir! This video is like teaching a man how to fish.👍 I better go practice some. May Allah be pleased with you!🙏

I do really enjoy watching all your videos

I cannot give you enough thanks ❤❤❤❤

the example of comparing the Christians descriptions of Mohammed to the American description of the soviet union is very very powerful

They are loosing the battle of truth or shall I say, lost the battle of truth hence trying very hard but truth shall prevail. Thanks for the video.

Excellent video, I was so impressed it made me donate to your channel. Jzkallah khair

Did you just take that thumbnail from almuqadimah channel? 😂

Such an honorable presentation style of our beloved Prophet. May Allah give you the greatest blessings for your honor and narrative methods. Ameen

I was just watching Jay Smith's propaganda , and alhamdullilah this video came in. May Allah guides us all to the truth

YOU ARE THE MOST HONORABLE AND TRUTHFUL PERSON I'VE EVER CAME ACROSS! Sending all the love to you! ❤️

Thank you so so so much for this..!!

subhanallah. May Allah bless you. keep it up. for sure Allah swt will give you rewards if not now, surely in akhirah..

I too have noticed some clickbait titles questioning the existence of Muhammed by Christian missionary channels - however, it is those very videos that provide many of the same non-Muslim sources (e.g. Armenian bishop) that you touched on here. These videos are not really questioning the existence of Muhammed in any serious way, rather just making the point that we have relied on the Muslim traditions for his history for too long.

Thank you Paul. Another extremely informative video.

what a professional short lecture with a complete answers . this work should be educated in our universities.. God Bless You

May you live long with good health.

You’re a gem Mr. Paul

Is there any primary sources?

- What about the letter written by prophet Muhammad to the ruler of Rome? - What about the letter written by the king of Sri Lanka to prophet Muhammad pbuh which only arrived at the time of Abubakr Ra?

Paul im worried ‘they’ will take you out soon or demonise you to delegitimise what u say. May allah keep you safe.

He does exist! Shockingly, I had a dream a few years two nights back to back where I met the prophet Mohammad peace be upon him and his wife Aisha. It was the most unbelievable dream I’ve ever had. In the dream, my love for him was immense that my life was all for him to protect him. In the dream I just couldn’t believe that I with the prophet. It was very emotional for me.

Excellent informative analysis sir, thank you.

This is an excellent work. I will purchase this book in sha Allah. Br. Paul will you be to produce a similar work on Mecca, "Did Mecca really exist?", thank-you in advance.

Excellent bro Paul

Wow! This knowledge is golden. What a clever compilation of facts indeed! Thank you Paul for this. Its a jewel! I never knew that the Christians had such early sources of our beloved prophet Muhammad...May peace and blessings be apon him🙏

Jazakallah brother

Love your videos.

The seerah is very detailed e.g there is a hadith that says he ﷺ once coughed in a prayer, other hadiths telling the number of white hairs on his blessed head ﷺ and i know a few people from the lineage of Ahlulbait 💙

Really excellent job . May Allah bless and reward you

Thank you for this informative video of you....may Allah guide you brother Paul ...🤲🏻

hi paul. first of all thanks again for your relentless work on spreading the theology of islam. now there is one thing that i find interesting which is the question about whether the holy city of mecca is not the original place of the kaaba of the prophet Ibrahim. there was an investigative works done by non-muslim Dan Gibson who suggest the original place of kaaba was in Petra, Jordan. you may simply search in youtube there are plenty of videos available. i came accross Jonathan Brown who has put forward his argument to reject Dan‘s theory. other than Jonathan‘s effort, i could not find anyone else who tried to debunk Dan‘s work, not yet at least. hoping that maybe you would be able to help in finding anything about that matter and it will be great to hear about it from you soon. Nonetheless, thanks for your great work, keep it going and may God bless you.
