- 0:16hi everyone welcome back to unveiling
- 0:18Islam I'm David wood here with brother
- 0:21rasheid brother Rasheed one of the most
- 0:24common things I hear from Muslim dis or
- 0:28Muslim preachers is is that they believe
- 0:31in Jesus too and I see Muslims say all
- 0:34the time we believe in Jesus more than
- 0:37you Christians do yeah and so you you
- 0:41actually look at the Quran and it is
- 0:45interesting that Muslims agree with us
- 0:46on lots of things that concerning Jesus
- 0:49yeah many other people in fact pretty
- 0:51much everyone else rejects yeah there
- 0:53are things that Muslims agree with us on
- 0:55that almost no one else ever agrees with
- 0:58us on and so it is good to have those uh
- 1:01those bits of Common Ground um but what
- 1:04what what do you what do you think about
- 1:05the let's let's kind of go through the
- 1:07Islamic view of Jesus let me put it this
- 1:10way if you believe in a modified version
- 1:14of somebody you don't believe in him
- 1:18period so if if I in other words if I
- 1:20were to say if I were to say yes Muslims
- 1:22I believe in Muhammad but I believe he
- 1:24was a devout Christian who preached the
- 1:26Trinity and later on his teachings were
- 1:28corrupted andly burn them all to cover
- 1:31it up and I so so I believe in Muhammad
- 1:33they would say no you don't really
- 1:34believe in Muhammad or even if I changed
- 1:36a little thing about him um he didn't
- 1:39die he ascended to Heaven he didn't die
- 1:42he's still alive that wouldn't be a
- 1:45faith in Muhammad actually because I
- 1:47modified a a central Doctrine about
- 1:51Muhammad which he died and he has a
- 1:54grave um in Medina so these things are
- 1:58very important when you believe in Jesus
- 2:00is not like you agree with Christians
- 2:03about some details it's either you
- 2:06accept him as in the gospel or you are
- 2:09not a
- 2:10Believer yes just in other words like an
- 2:14atheist could say I believe in Jesus
- 2:16meaning I believe Jesus existed or
- 2:18something like that you wouldn't say
- 2:19okay that's not what we're talking about
- 2:20exactly we say you believe in Jesus
- 2:22that's a deception you have to be clear
- 2:24about it that's that's not
- 2:26Faith uh either you believe in him or
- 2:29not
- 2:30um they believe he was born from a
- 2:32Virgin Mary they believe that he had
- 2:36Miracles he healed the sick he rose the
- 2:40dead he was gave life to clay birds well
- 2:44we will talk about that yeah of course
- 2:46there are some Miracles even Christians
- 2:49do not claim like that one or talking as
- 2:53a in as a
- 2:56baby those are
- 2:58from extra biblical sources from uh what
- 3:02we call them infancy gospels they were
- 3:05later written in the 2 century and and
- 3:08after and also they believe that he will
- 3:12come one day and he will
- 3:16judge but they believe he is not
- 3:20Divine and his name is not even Jesus
- 3:24he's Isa which is a weird form even in
- 3:27Arabic we don't know where it comes from
- 3:30it's a because the meaning of Yeshua
- 3:33which is like Yeshua in Hebrew means God
- 3:37Saves but Isa has no meaning actually
- 3:41could be a bad meaning because the water
- 3:45of the men or the semon of the men is
- 3:49called
- 3:50the so it could be like a very bad
- 3:53meaning yeah I've I've read Muslim
- 3:55commentaries on this they have no clue
- 3:56what it means they have all these
- 3:57different they'll say it's a unique form
- 3:59of a name that was meant to parallel
- 4:01Musa Isa Musa uh there are some there
- 4:04there are even some people who suggest
- 4:06that that's the Arabic version of Esau
- 4:09and it was being used as an insult
- 4:11against Jesus and then they picked him
- 4:13up and the point is they they just don't
- 4:14know because there it makes no sense I
- 4:16am 100% sure I examined sources nobody
- 4:20in the Christian Community during the
- 4:22time of Muhammad named himself ABA or
- 4:26the slave the servant of Asa all of them
- 4:30they named themselves AB Yeshua AB
- 4:33Yeshua like the servant of Yeshua so
- 4:36where that name com comes from I have no
- 4:39clue and also Jesus is the word of God
- 4:44in the Quran but I think he got it wrong
- 4:47he didn't understand what the word of
- 4:48God MH and that's why Muslims even today
- 4:52they claim the word of God is because
- 4:55Jesus was born because God said be and
- 4:59he was
- 5:02inside uh
- 5:04Mary but that's not actually the word of
- 5:07God the meaning of the logus the word of
- 5:10God the word of God means he is God
- 5:12himself so so just to be clear yes we
- 5:16it's it's like it's something that
- 5:17happens over and over again in the
- 5:18Muslim sources it looks like Muhammad is
- 5:21taking something that he heard but did
- 5:22not understand yes at all he got stuck
- 5:25with it by and so we understand from the
- 5:27Gospel of John what it means for Jesus
- 5:29to be
- 5:30the word of God and it specifically says
- 5:33in the beginning was the word the word
- 5:34was with God the Word was God yeah and
- 5:37so this is a this is a an Evidence of
- 5:40his deity in the Quran Jesus is called
- 5:44the word of Allah yes and in order to
- 5:48explain that in order to explain why he
- 5:50has this title the word of Allah they
- 5:52say oh it's because Allah said be and he
- 5:54was but wait a minute isn't that
- 5:56according to the Quran how Allah creates
- 5:58everything yes everything is the word of
- 6:00God even a donkey so a a pig is the word
- 6:04of Allah yes yes Satan I'm the word of
- 6:06Allah Satan David Rashid is the word of
- 6:09Allah because he created you and he said
- 6:10be yeah Satan is the word of Allah
- 6:13everyone's the word of Allah yes so it
- 6:16it makes no sense why mentioning Jesus
- 6:19only in the Quran is the word of God
- 6:23yeah so I'd have to say that that
- 6:24explanation of what it means there makes
- 6:27absolutely no sense yes it's it's
- 6:29Jesus's somehow unique he's uniquely
- 6:31being called the word of Allah
- 6:34and if you if you understand how Allah
- 6:37creates when Allah if Allah wants to
- 6:39create a cup he says b and the cup comes
- 6:41into existence when you're talking about
- 6:42the word of Allah that's something
- 6:43that's coming from within Allah and
- 6:45coming out as his speech so and so
- 6:50doesn't seem to fit let's read some
- 6:52verses so we can give uh some sources
- 6:55here oh people of the scripture this is
- 6:58from uh
- 7:014172 oh people of the scripture
- 7:04Christians and basically Christians do
- 7:07not commit excess in your religion like
- 7:09do not exaggerate or say about Allah
- 7:12except the truth the Messiah Jesus the
- 7:15son of Mary was but a messenger of Allah
- 7:18and his word which he directed to Mary
- 7:23in the soul this translation says a soul
- 7:25actually is a spirit
- 7:28mhm from him but the ad between
- 7:31parentheses created at a command yeah
- 7:35they're put they're adding commentary
- 7:37because Christians are immediately going
- 7:38to go wait Jesus is is the word of God
- 7:41the spirit of God well I even the gospel
- 7:44he doesn't claim it doesn't claim that
- 7:47he's the spirit of God but the Quran
- 7:48does and that would that would mean
- 7:50something similar the the spirit is
- 7:52something breathed out by God so this
- 7:54would be Jesus is being spoken by Allah
- 7:57so he's originating from within Allah
- 7:59he's not separate and being created and
- 8:01a a spirit is something breathed out by
- 8:04Allah and the Quran is saying these
- 8:06things so they have to add some
- 8:07parenthetical commentary to throw you
- 8:10off the trail even the word Messiah when
- 8:13I went to commentaries as a Muslim
- 8:15trying to understand it I was confused
- 8:18they don't know what a messiah is Messi
- 8:22in Arabic when you read the Messiah is
- 8:26actually The Unwanted one when you read
- 8:28the comment they say we don't know why
- 8:31he was named Al M the Messiah and they
- 8:35gave they said Messi from tourist
- 8:37because the same word in Arabic means
- 8:39like he went for tourism he went
- 8:41everywhere they said well because Jesus
- 8:43he was wondering everywhere then he is M
- 8:47because he is a tourist he kind of take
- 8:49tours yeah and then one of them he say
- 8:52because M also means something flat they
- 8:56said well he had a flat foot one of the
- 8:59common
- 9:00I'm like okay give me a break instead of
- 9:03going to the origin of the word and
- 9:06asking Jews and Christians which is
- 9:08pretty simple to do yeah and asking them
- 9:10about this meaning they just go around
- 9:12and around and around so uh so this is
- 9:17this is I mean what flot prophet what
- 9:20more evidence could you have that that
- 9:22Muhammad is hearing things and he's
- 9:25using these things and saying that he's
- 9:27getting these things by revelation when
- 9:30they have no clue what they mean and
- 9:31Muhammad obviously had no clue what he
- 9:33mean because you if you were rejecting
- 9:35the deity of Christ you wouldn't be
- 9:36calling him the word of God um you
- 9:39wouldn't you wouldn't be calling him any
- 9:40of these things I think Muhammad did a
- 9:42mistake and Muslim Scholars tried to
- 9:45repair it mhm he called him the word of
- 9:48God and he didn't know what he was
- 9:50getting into MH um if we read another
- 9:53Sora
- 9:545110 when Allah will say oh Jesus Son of
- 9:57Mary remember my favor upon you and upon
- 10:00your mother when I supported you with
- 10:02the pure Spirit which is another topic
- 10:06we can talk about later the pure Spirit
- 10:09why you mention Jesus among all the
- 10:11prophet you you supported him with the
- 10:13pure Spirit um and you spoke to the
- 10:16people in the credle and in maturity and
- 10:20when I taught you writing and wisdom and
- 10:22the Torah and the gospel and when you
- 10:24design design from clay what was like
- 10:28the form of a bird with my permission so
- 10:31they believed Jesus he was just doing
- 10:33Miracles because he wanted to impress
- 10:35people among some kids and he was just
- 10:38creating birds and breeding into them
- 10:40and they are like clay and then they
- 10:42became Birds which is not the character
- 10:45of Jesus in The Gospel he doesn't do
- 10:48stuff like that to show off yeah show
- 10:51off he does stuff because people need it
- 10:55yeah because some people are suffering
- 10:58so he helps them
- 10:59and the Quran just created this this
- 11:02like a uh Jesus who is like um a clown
- 11:07basically just making shows to impress
- 11:10people and E notice even even there
- 11:13they're taking something we know you
- 11:15pointed out we know where these stories
- 11:16come from they come from later stories
- 11:18where people were just you know coming
- 11:19up with all these uh uh fictitious
- 11:22stories about Jesus but even this one
- 11:25you notice how Allah creates he he
- 11:27creates man out of clay and then and
- 11:29then gives him life but then Jesus makes
- 11:31a bird out of clay and gives life it's
- 11:33like he's imitating God in these stories
- 11:36and then Islam takes it and and has him
- 11:39doing the exact same things and it's
- 11:41just uh it's just really weird stuff yes
- 11:44and
- 11:45um the the the ultimate outcome of all
- 11:48of this I'll go ahead and read sah 61:6
- 11:51which is kind of Jesus only real role
- 11:53apparently according to Islam uh sah
- 11:5561:6 and remember Jesus the son of Mary
- 11:58said oh children of Israel I am the
- 12:01Messenger of Allah sent to you
- 12:02confirming the law which came before me
- 12:04and giving you Glad Tidings of a
- 12:06messenger to come after me whose name
- 12:09shall be Ahmed yeah so Muslims say
- 12:13that's referring to muham Muhammad so
- 12:15that's what Jesus ultimately got done he
- 12:17said hey Muhammad's coming although
- 12:19everyone apparently forgot about it
- 12:21Muhammad made Jesus as his John the
- 12:24Baptist he's claiming the coming of the
- 12:26one and actually if you deep into the
- 12:30history of Islam Muhammad took the place
- 12:32of Jesus MH he is the savior Jesus is
- 12:36the one who poting to the Savior and he
- 12:39took even his names the muham Muhammad
- 12:42means the praised
- 12:43one so Jesus was the praised one not the
- 12:47actual Muhammad he took we name Mustafa
- 12:51has a brother my little my brother his
- 12:53name is Mustafa Mustafa is the chosen
- 12:56one Muslims claim that Muhammad was
- 12:58named the chosen one and who's the
- 13:01chosen one there are many things that
- 13:04Muhammad took it's just he took the
- 13:06place of
- 13:07Christ and so uh I I'll just I'll just
- 13:11say this Muslims want to tell us that
- 13:12Jesus is a is a great prophet but he's
- 13:14still uh merely a prophet along with
- 13:16other prophets uh but we look at what
- 13:20the Quran and the Muslim sources say and
- 13:22uh again Jesus is born of a virgin Jesus
- 13:25Lives the most miraculous life in
- 13:27history is going around performing all
- 13:28these Miracles I mean he even starts
- 13:30speaking it at Birth according to Islam
- 13:33Jesus is the Messiah Jesus is going to
- 13:37return uh Jesus is even sinless in Islam
- 13:40the Quran says he's a faultless son but
- 13:42then in the Hadith Muhammad says that
- 13:44Satan touches every child born into the
- 13:47world except Jesus he could not touch
- 13:50Jesus so the real question is see all of
- 13:52that makes I mean these things make
- 13:53sense from a Christian perspective where
- 13:55Jesus is so incredibly unique because he
- 13:58is unique he is God incarnate in Islam
- 14:02the question becomes why is Jesus still
- 14:05so unique in ways that make absolutely
- 14:08no sense according to Islam everything I
- 14:10just mentioned plus calling him uh the
- 14:13word of God and a spirit from God these
- 14:17things make no sense and so you Muslims
- 14:20who are watching why is this I would
- 14:23look at it and say maybe it's because
- 14:25Muhammad's taking a bunch of things from
- 14:26different sources and he has no clue
- 14:28what the real implications are
