  2. 0:16hi everyone welcome back to unveiling
  3. 0:18Islam I'm David wood here with brother
  4. 0:21rasheid brother Rasheed one of the most
  5. 0:24common things I hear from Muslim dis or
  6. 0:28Muslim preachers is is that they believe
  7. 0:31in Jesus too and I see Muslims say all
  8. 0:34the time we believe in Jesus more than
  9. 0:37you Christians do yeah and so you you
  10. 0:41actually look at the Quran and it is
  11. 0:45interesting that Muslims agree with us
  12. 0:46on lots of things that concerning Jesus
  13. 0:49yeah many other people in fact pretty
  14. 0:51much everyone else rejects yeah there
  15. 0:53are things that Muslims agree with us on
  16. 0:55that almost no one else ever agrees with
  17. 0:58us on and so it is good to have those uh
  18. 1:01those bits of Common Ground um but what
  19. 1:04what what do you what do you think about
  20. 1:05the let's let's kind of go through the
  21. 1:07Islamic view of Jesus let me put it this
  22. 1:10way if you believe in a modified version
  23. 1:14of somebody you don't believe in him
  24. 1:18period so if if I in other words if I
  25. 1:20were to say if I were to say yes Muslims
  26. 1:22I believe in Muhammad but I believe he
  27. 1:24was a devout Christian who preached the
  28. 1:26Trinity and later on his teachings were
  29. 1:28corrupted andly burn them all to cover
  30. 1:31it up and I so so I believe in Muhammad
  31. 1:33they would say no you don't really
  32. 1:34believe in Muhammad or even if I changed
  33. 1:36a little thing about him um he didn't
  34. 1:39die he ascended to Heaven he didn't die
  35. 1:42he's still alive that wouldn't be a
  36. 1:45faith in Muhammad actually because I
  37. 1:47modified a a central Doctrine about
  38. 1:51Muhammad which he died and he has a
  39. 1:54grave um in Medina so these things are
  40. 1:58very important when you believe in Jesus
  41. 2:00is not like you agree with Christians
  42. 2:03about some details it's either you
  43. 2:06accept him as in the gospel or you are
  44. 2:09not a
  45. 2:10Believer yes just in other words like an
  46. 2:14atheist could say I believe in Jesus
  47. 2:16meaning I believe Jesus existed or
  48. 2:18something like that you wouldn't say
  49. 2:19okay that's not what we're talking about
  50. 2:20exactly we say you believe in Jesus
  51. 2:22that's a deception you have to be clear
  52. 2:24about it that's that's not
  53. 2:26Faith uh either you believe in him or
  54. 2:29not
  55. 2:30um they believe he was born from a
  56. 2:32Virgin Mary they believe that he had
  57. 2:36Miracles he healed the sick he rose the
  58. 2:40dead he was gave life to clay birds well
  59. 2:44we will talk about that yeah of course
  60. 2:46there are some Miracles even Christians
  61. 2:49do not claim like that one or talking as
  62. 2:53a in as a
  63. 2:56baby those are
  64. 2:58from extra biblical sources from uh what
  65. 3:02we call them infancy gospels they were
  66. 3:05later written in the 2 century and and
  67. 3:08after and also they believe that he will
  68. 3:12come one day and he will
  69. 3:16judge but they believe he is not
  70. 3:20Divine and his name is not even Jesus
  71. 3:24he's Isa which is a weird form even in
  72. 3:27Arabic we don't know where it comes from
  73. 3:30it's a because the meaning of Yeshua
  74. 3:33which is like Yeshua in Hebrew means God
  75. 3:37Saves but Isa has no meaning actually
  76. 3:41could be a bad meaning because the water
  77. 3:45of the men or the semon of the men is
  78. 3:49called
  79. 3:50the so it could be like a very bad
  80. 3:53meaning yeah I've I've read Muslim
  81. 3:55commentaries on this they have no clue
  82. 3:56what it means they have all these
  83. 3:57different they'll say it's a unique form
  84. 3:59of a name that was meant to parallel
  85. 4:01Musa Isa Musa uh there are some there
  86. 4:04there are even some people who suggest
  87. 4:06that that's the Arabic version of Esau
  88. 4:09and it was being used as an insult
  89. 4:11against Jesus and then they picked him
  90. 4:13up and the point is they they just don't
  91. 4:14know because there it makes no sense I
  92. 4:16am 100% sure I examined sources nobody
  93. 4:20in the Christian Community during the
  94. 4:22time of Muhammad named himself ABA or
  95. 4:26the slave the servant of Asa all of them
  96. 4:30they named themselves AB Yeshua AB
  97. 4:33Yeshua like the servant of Yeshua so
  98. 4:36where that name com comes from I have no
  99. 4:39clue and also Jesus is the word of God
  100. 4:44in the Quran but I think he got it wrong
  101. 4:47he didn't understand what the word of
  102. 4:48God MH and that's why Muslims even today
  103. 4:52they claim the word of God is because
  104. 4:55Jesus was born because God said be and
  105. 4:59he was
  106. 5:02inside uh
  107. 5:04Mary but that's not actually the word of
  108. 5:07God the meaning of the logus the word of
  109. 5:10God the word of God means he is God
  110. 5:12himself so so just to be clear yes we
  111. 5:16it's it's like it's something that
  112. 5:17happens over and over again in the
  113. 5:18Muslim sources it looks like Muhammad is
  114. 5:21taking something that he heard but did
  115. 5:22not understand yes at all he got stuck
  116. 5:25with it by and so we understand from the
  117. 5:27Gospel of John what it means for Jesus
  118. 5:29to be
  119. 5:30the word of God and it specifically says
  120. 5:33in the beginning was the word the word
  121. 5:34was with God the Word was God yeah and
  122. 5:37so this is a this is a an Evidence of
  123. 5:40his deity in the Quran Jesus is called
  124. 5:44the word of Allah yes and in order to
  125. 5:48explain that in order to explain why he
  126. 5:50has this title the word of Allah they
  127. 5:52say oh it's because Allah said be and he
  128. 5:54was but wait a minute isn't that
  129. 5:56according to the Quran how Allah creates
  130. 5:58everything yes everything is the word of
  131. 6:00God even a donkey so a a pig is the word
  132. 6:04of Allah yes yes Satan I'm the word of
  133. 6:06Allah Satan David Rashid is the word of
  134. 6:09Allah because he created you and he said
  135. 6:10be yeah Satan is the word of Allah
  136. 6:13everyone's the word of Allah yes so it
  137. 6:16it makes no sense why mentioning Jesus
  138. 6:19only in the Quran is the word of God
  139. 6:23yeah so I'd have to say that that
  140. 6:24explanation of what it means there makes
  141. 6:27absolutely no sense yes it's it's
  142. 6:29Jesus's somehow unique he's uniquely
  143. 6:31being called the word of Allah
  144. 6:34and if you if you understand how Allah
  145. 6:37creates when Allah if Allah wants to
  146. 6:39create a cup he says b and the cup comes
  147. 6:41into existence when you're talking about
  148. 6:42the word of Allah that's something
  149. 6:43that's coming from within Allah and
  150. 6:45coming out as his speech so and so
  151. 6:50doesn't seem to fit let's read some
  152. 6:52verses so we can give uh some sources
  153. 6:55here oh people of the scripture this is
  154. 6:58from uh
  155. 7:014172 oh people of the scripture
  156. 7:04Christians and basically Christians do
  157. 7:07not commit excess in your religion like
  158. 7:09do not exaggerate or say about Allah
  159. 7:12except the truth the Messiah Jesus the
  160. 7:15son of Mary was but a messenger of Allah
  161. 7:18and his word which he directed to Mary
  162. 7:23in the soul this translation says a soul
  163. 7:25actually is a spirit
  164. 7:28mhm from him but the ad between
  165. 7:31parentheses created at a command yeah
  166. 7:35they're put they're adding commentary
  167. 7:37because Christians are immediately going
  168. 7:38to go wait Jesus is is the word of God
  169. 7:41the spirit of God well I even the gospel
  170. 7:44he doesn't claim it doesn't claim that
  171. 7:47he's the spirit of God but the Quran
  172. 7:48does and that would that would mean
  173. 7:50something similar the the spirit is
  174. 7:52something breathed out by God so this
  175. 7:54would be Jesus is being spoken by Allah
  176. 7:57so he's originating from within Allah
  177. 7:59he's not separate and being created and
  178. 8:01a a spirit is something breathed out by
  179. 8:04Allah and the Quran is saying these
  180. 8:06things so they have to add some
  181. 8:07parenthetical commentary to throw you
  182. 8:10off the trail even the word Messiah when
  183. 8:13I went to commentaries as a Muslim
  184. 8:15trying to understand it I was confused
  185. 8:18they don't know what a messiah is Messi
  186. 8:22in Arabic when you read the Messiah is
  187. 8:26actually The Unwanted one when you read
  188. 8:28the comment they say we don't know why
  189. 8:31he was named Al M the Messiah and they
  190. 8:35gave they said Messi from tourist
  191. 8:37because the same word in Arabic means
  192. 8:39like he went for tourism he went
  193. 8:41everywhere they said well because Jesus
  194. 8:43he was wondering everywhere then he is M
  195. 8:47because he is a tourist he kind of take
  196. 8:49tours yeah and then one of them he say
  197. 8:52because M also means something flat they
  198. 8:56said well he had a flat foot one of the
  199. 8:59common
  200. 9:00I'm like okay give me a break instead of
  201. 9:03going to the origin of the word and
  202. 9:06asking Jews and Christians which is
  203. 9:08pretty simple to do yeah and asking them
  204. 9:10about this meaning they just go around
  205. 9:12and around and around so uh so this is
  206. 9:17this is I mean what flot prophet what
  207. 9:20more evidence could you have that that
  208. 9:22Muhammad is hearing things and he's
  209. 9:25using these things and saying that he's
  210. 9:27getting these things by revelation when
  211. 9:30they have no clue what they mean and
  212. 9:31Muhammad obviously had no clue what he
  213. 9:33mean because you if you were rejecting
  214. 9:35the deity of Christ you wouldn't be
  215. 9:36calling him the word of God um you
  216. 9:39wouldn't you wouldn't be calling him any
  217. 9:40of these things I think Muhammad did a
  218. 9:42mistake and Muslim Scholars tried to
  219. 9:45repair it mhm he called him the word of
  220. 9:48God and he didn't know what he was
  221. 9:50getting into MH um if we read another
  222. 9:53Sora
  223. 9:545110 when Allah will say oh Jesus Son of
  224. 9:57Mary remember my favor upon you and upon
  225. 10:00your mother when I supported you with
  226. 10:02the pure Spirit which is another topic
  227. 10:06we can talk about later the pure Spirit
  228. 10:09why you mention Jesus among all the
  229. 10:11prophet you you supported him with the
  230. 10:13pure Spirit um and you spoke to the
  231. 10:16people in the credle and in maturity and
  232. 10:20when I taught you writing and wisdom and
  233. 10:22the Torah and the gospel and when you
  234. 10:24design design from clay what was like
  235. 10:28the form of a bird with my permission so
  236. 10:31they believed Jesus he was just doing
  237. 10:33Miracles because he wanted to impress
  238. 10:35people among some kids and he was just
  239. 10:38creating birds and breeding into them
  240. 10:40and they are like clay and then they
  241. 10:42became Birds which is not the character
  242. 10:45of Jesus in The Gospel he doesn't do
  243. 10:48stuff like that to show off yeah show
  244. 10:51off he does stuff because people need it
  245. 10:55yeah because some people are suffering
  246. 10:58so he helps them
  247. 10:59and the Quran just created this this
  248. 11:02like a uh Jesus who is like um a clown
  249. 11:07basically just making shows to impress
  250. 11:10people and E notice even even there
  251. 11:13they're taking something we know you
  252. 11:15pointed out we know where these stories
  253. 11:16come from they come from later stories
  254. 11:18where people were just you know coming
  255. 11:19up with all these uh uh fictitious
  256. 11:22stories about Jesus but even this one
  257. 11:25you notice how Allah creates he he
  258. 11:27creates man out of clay and then and
  259. 11:29then gives him life but then Jesus makes
  260. 11:31a bird out of clay and gives life it's
  261. 11:33like he's imitating God in these stories
  262. 11:36and then Islam takes it and and has him
  263. 11:39doing the exact same things and it's
  264. 11:41just uh it's just really weird stuff yes
  265. 11:44and
  266. 11:45um the the the ultimate outcome of all
  267. 11:48of this I'll go ahead and read sah 61:6
  268. 11:51which is kind of Jesus only real role
  269. 11:53apparently according to Islam uh sah
  270. 11:5561:6 and remember Jesus the son of Mary
  271. 11:58said oh children of Israel I am the
  272. 12:01Messenger of Allah sent to you
  273. 12:02confirming the law which came before me
  274. 12:04and giving you Glad Tidings of a
  275. 12:06messenger to come after me whose name
  276. 12:09shall be Ahmed yeah so Muslims say
  277. 12:13that's referring to muham Muhammad so
  278. 12:15that's what Jesus ultimately got done he
  279. 12:17said hey Muhammad's coming although
  280. 12:19everyone apparently forgot about it
  281. 12:21Muhammad made Jesus as his John the
  282. 12:24Baptist he's claiming the coming of the
  283. 12:26one and actually if you deep into the
  284. 12:30history of Islam Muhammad took the place
  285. 12:32of Jesus MH he is the savior Jesus is
  286. 12:36the one who poting to the Savior and he
  287. 12:39took even his names the muham Muhammad
  288. 12:42means the praised
  289. 12:43one so Jesus was the praised one not the
  290. 12:47actual Muhammad he took we name Mustafa
  291. 12:51has a brother my little my brother his
  292. 12:53name is Mustafa Mustafa is the chosen
  293. 12:56one Muslims claim that Muhammad was
  294. 12:58named the chosen one and who's the
  295. 13:01chosen one there are many things that
  296. 13:04Muhammad took it's just he took the
  297. 13:06place of
  298. 13:07Christ and so uh I I'll just I'll just
  299. 13:11say this Muslims want to tell us that
  300. 13:12Jesus is a is a great prophet but he's
  301. 13:14still uh merely a prophet along with
  302. 13:16other prophets uh but we look at what
  303. 13:20the Quran and the Muslim sources say and
  304. 13:22uh again Jesus is born of a virgin Jesus
  305. 13:25Lives the most miraculous life in
  306. 13:27history is going around performing all
  307. 13:28these Miracles I mean he even starts
  308. 13:30speaking it at Birth according to Islam
  309. 13:33Jesus is the Messiah Jesus is going to
  310. 13:37return uh Jesus is even sinless in Islam
  311. 13:40the Quran says he's a faultless son but
  312. 13:42then in the Hadith Muhammad says that
  313. 13:44Satan touches every child born into the
  314. 13:47world except Jesus he could not touch
  315. 13:50Jesus so the real question is see all of
  316. 13:52that makes I mean these things make
  317. 13:53sense from a Christian perspective where
  318. 13:55Jesus is so incredibly unique because he
  319. 13:58is unique he is God incarnate in Islam
  320. 14:02the question becomes why is Jesus still
  321. 14:05so unique in ways that make absolutely
  322. 14:08no sense according to Islam everything I
  323. 14:10just mentioned plus calling him uh the
  324. 14:13word of God and a spirit from God these
  325. 14:17things make no sense and so you Muslims
  326. 14:20who are watching why is this I would
  327. 14:23look at it and say maybe it's because
  328. 14:25Muhammad's taking a bunch of things from
  329. 14:26different sources and he has no clue
  330. 14:28what the real implications are
