Starts at about 27:00 boy can academics blow a lot of hot air to get to the lecture. And great set of three lectures. I wish this comment section wasn't filled with polemics but engaging with what was said.

I'm trying to find information about the nursery rhymes in the Quran anybody know where to find out which verses are ancient nursery rhymes?

It is a pity that the voice is going fading very low at the moment the presentation is getting more interesting. That is when one of the panellists is starting explain some charts .

Watched all of it

Shady about Hisham ( transmitter of Syrian style of reading) " when he got older he became senile..." That means he was not always senile and not always forgetful. All my life work should be discredited when I will be old and forgetful?

My main criticism of the liberal/moderate/secular/moderate/ wasathiyah/pluralist/ revisionist/progressive approach as well as the conservative/traditionalist/salaf approach and other approaches currently circulating is that all of these approaches only place the Qur'an alone as kalamullah/ayatullah. as if the product of kalamullah is only al quran, as if only the heavenly books. whereas there are many products of the nature of al kalam, including ayat tarikhiyyah (human history), ayat kauniyah (universe), and ayat insaniyah (human self). al quran itself recognizes the existence of these 3 types of ayatullah (besides itself, besides al quran itself). The end result of studying/interpreting/interpreting all the other products of Allah's word that have the status of ayatollahs (signs of Allah's power/guidance) have the same status as "dalil shara" as does the end result of studying the product of Allah's word called al quran. Furthermore, because all of them have the status of "dalil shara", all of the above ayatollahs also have the status of sources of Islamic law (mashadir ahkam). So the "dalil of shara" derived from the research of non-religious scientists (such as the laws of physics, the laws of biology, the laws of psychology, mathematical formulas, statistics, etc.) have the same status as "dalil shara", derived from the study of the kalamullah / ayatullah called al quran, because the "dalil shara" are also derived from the same products, namely the products of the implementation of the same attribute of God: kalamullah. Furthermore: thus the "dalil shara" can all naskh the laws of other ayatollahs because they are all products that have the same legal position / level (both ayatollahs). the origin of lex posteriori derogate lex anteriori also applies in the discussion of legal relations between "dalil shara" drawn from the 4 types of ayatollahs. wallahualam.

It’s non-intuitive to understand that all this complexity is just natural and no intervention of any being is required, it’s much much simpler and easier for humans to believe that some being did it magically, especially when we are indoctrinated to believe from a very early age by our parents, teachers, leaders, elders practically everyone. And if we don’t conform to our parents religions then we can be shunned, disowned and possibly harmed. originally from Karachi Pakistan and Teer Haripur Hazaara, now ex-Muslim Atheist .

abundance of ma'lumaat but lack of adaab will only lead you astray

Unfortunately I would say a rather shallow debate !!

I don’t see any evidence for anything un-natural, therefore I am not convinced that there is anything unnatural or supernatural like magic, ‘jadoo’, spirits, ghost, ‘jins’, ‘rooh’ and gods . originally from Karachi Pakistan and Teer Haripur Hazaara, now ex-Muslim Atheist ,

A scholar in any religion is the same as a scholar in Zues or Odin or any other myth. Choosing to major in theology or becoming in scholar in religion is like marrying your kidnapper, because you are becoming an expert in myths you were brainwashed in as an innocent child. originally from Karachi Pakistan and Teer Haripur Hazaara, now ex-Muslim Atheist,

When people talk about reconciling science and religion, that is only an issue with people who have preconceived ideas, but scientists cannot/should-not have preconceived ideas they must believe the evidence. All scientific models must conform to NATURE or REALITY, If there is any tiny evidence for some unnatural forces then they must include that in their paper and account for it. originally from Karachi Pakistan and Teer Haripur Hazaara, now ex-Muslim Atheist . please Muslims/everyone-else educate yourself in the sciences especially Cosmology Evolutionary Biology, Geology and earth and human history and religious studies, this will help you understand that your upbringing was an indoctrination and all religions are myths, originally from Karachi Pakistan and Teer Haripur Hazaara, now ex-Muslim Atheist ,

IN A GOOD WAY I ASK, WHY IF ISLAM IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND, THERE ARE SO MANY TASFIERS? ANY BODY THERE, PLEASE.

Any study or discussion on the Quran should first seek what the Quran is trying to teach. The teachers of Quran says that it is giving something better than the Bible. The Bible gives the story how GOD made it possible for HIS lost children to be reconciled to HIM as a Free Gift through the death and resurrection of HIS Son JESUS. What does the Quran do? It puts the onus on each person to work out his salvation through his own effort. So how does the Feee Gift of salvation based on GOD'S work compare to each person working out his own salvation? Do you think the work of man met the absolute righteousness (100% not 99.999%) required by GOD. To the Muslims who do not believe in the saving work of the Lord Jesus Christ, the question is why? People are killed, punished etc based on what Allah says in the Quran. Why do you believe and follow it while the teaching of the GOD in the Bible is not? To those who say that the Bible is corrupted most of the Old Testament is available in the Dead Sea Scrolls. And there are thousands of New Testament manuscript that a very old and which can be referred by serious academics.

This is Orientalism by another name

I don't agree with hating the biggest victims of Islam the Muslims, and Islamic dogma is not any worse then the Christian dogma big difference is that Christians reformed their original dogma and no longer closely follow their original scriptures. both religions selectively only preach scriptures which is accepted by modern standards and no longer preach the crazy and horrific scriptures and versus.

I am a proud Muslim to hear discussion like that, because we all ready memorized Qur'an. Alhamdulillah Rab al alamin! Nobody can change something in the Qur'an, because Allah self tells in the Qur'an that HE would take care of his massage. It is not mean maybe physically, because if Muslims or Islam is in some strangers situations, many people pay attention to them and search about Islam and finally become Muslim!

Since I could remember Muslims have perpetuated the lie, particularly when doing Dawah that “the Quran is perfectly preserved letter by letter and vowel by vowel”.
