Muslim Girl Question's Sam Shamoun about Islam — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00So, when a Muslim tells me, you ask me,
- 0:02"Why I don't follow Muhammad?" Because
- 0:04he contradicts my Bible. But then when
- 0:05you tell me it's contradict, you proved
- 0:07my point. Exactly. You just proved my
- 0:09point. Because if you agree with me the
- 0:11Bible's not corrupt, that means Muhammad
- 0:14is a false prophet. But I don't believe
- 0:16you and I don't accept the Bible's
- 0:18corrupt. So, what proof do you have for
- 0:20me to follow Muhammad?
- 0:21>> No, well like he said I want you to show
- 0:22me why you think Islam is for like is
- 0:25objective truth that everyone should
- 0:26agree.
- 0:27>> Why I Yeah, one of the reason I just
- 0:28told you it contradicts the revelation
- 0:30of Jesus Christ.
- 0:31>> Yes, yes. But you know, the Muslim going
- 0:32to say that the Bible is corrupt.
- 0:34>> But that But you just proved my point,
- 0:36right? You have to say my Bible is
- 0:37corrupt because if you agree that the
- 0:40Bible is not corrupt, that means
- 0:41Muhammad is a liar, right?
- 0:42>> Yeah, yes. But they not accept that. I
- 0:44mean the answer that everyone going to
- 0:45agree, you know.
- 0:46>> Yeah, but listen to what you just said.
- 0:48When I say Muhammad is a false prophet,
- 0:50he contradicts the Bible. What are they
- 0:51going to say to me? Your Bible's
- 0:53corrupt. Why do you think they say that?
- 0:54>> If the Bible is right, then Islam is
- 0:55wrong.
- 0:56>> Uh say it again.
- 0:58>> Because the Bible is right, then Islam
- 1:00is wrong. That's
- 1:00>> So, that's why you have to say that's
- 1:02why you have to say that the Bible's
- 1:04corrupt. Because if you admit the Bible
- 1:06has been preserved, and the Quran says
- 1:08the Bible's preserved, but I'm just
- 1:09saying, if you admit the Bible is
- 1:11preserved, then that means Muhammad
- 1:14cannot be a true prophet because
- 1:15Muhammad contradicts the Bible. So, then
- 1:18what do you have to say? Oh, you changed
- 1:19the Bible. Okay, let's say the Bible is
- 1:21changed. That doesn't mean Islam is true
- 1:23because then I'm left with maybe I
- 1:24should become Mormon. So, that still
- 1:26doesn't mean that Islam is true. But
- 1:29you're asking me
- 1:30>> historical things.
- 1:32>> The Quran makes claims about history is
- 1:33not true. One big
- 1:35>> The former one I know. I mean like the I
- 1:38watched this one documentary by Tom
- 1:40Holland, you know him?
- 1:41>> Yes, you see you study. So, Tom Holland
- 1:43did an investigation as an atheist. He's
- 1:45not a Christian.
- 1:46>> Yeah, yeah.
- 1:46>> And he saw the evidence outside of
- 1:49Islamic sources. The archaeological
- 1:50evidence and the written sources that
- 1:53are not written by Muslims from later
- 1:55time do not confirm Islamic history. So,
- 1:58again, since it doesn't have any strong
- 2:01proof confirming its claims, but we when
- 2:04we when we can test the Quran for
- 2:06history, it's wrong. I give you example.
- 2:07How do you interpret Surat An-Nisa 4:157
- 2:10where it says the Jews boasted they
- 2:12boasted, "We killed Jesus Messiah, son
- 2:14of Mary, the apostle of Allah." But then
- 2:16it says they neither killed him nor
- 2:17crucified him. But it's all cleared up.
- 2:19What does that mean?
- 2:19>> I want to hold that for a little bit. I
- 2:21know like in Islam they believe that
- 2:22Jesus was not crucified.
- 2:24>> So, if he's not crucified, is there any
- 2:27historian, even Bart Ehrman, who doesn't
- 2:29believe in Christianity?
- 2:31>> a lot of Bart Ehrman video, and yes, he
- 2:33not agree with Islam. I yes, I just
- 2:35>> I don't think he doesn't agree with
- 2:36Islam. Is there any historian that says
- 2:39Jesus was not killed? The one fact they
- 2:41all agree on, they go, "One fact we
- 2:44agree on is Jesus was killed by
- 2:46crucifixion." That that they say we all
- 2:49agree.
- 2:49>> I asked a lot of people, "Why do God
- 2:53wait 500 years to reveal that Jesus was
- 2:56not crucified?" And I don't get an
- 2:57answer.
- 2:57>> You don't [clears throat] get an answer
- 2:58to that.
- 2:59>> They say that Allah wait the perfect
- 3:00time to reveal the revelation when
- 3:02people like really deviate from the
- 3:04original Islam, that kind of thing.
- 3:06>> Let's see how perfect time is. So, Allah
- 3:08allowed for 500 years people to be
- 3:11deceived and confused thinking Jesus was
- 3:14killed and raised from the dead. And so,
- 3:17hundreds of thousands, if not millions,
- 3:19died believing Jesus was killed and
- 3:21raised from dead, and that was the
- 3:22perfect time to come 500 years later to
- 3:24solve the mess.
- 3:26>> Yes, I I I I don't get the answer for
- 3:28that question actually.
- 3:29>> Now, I want to show you a verse in the
- 3:31Quran, and I want to show you Paul.
- 3:32Remember, they say, "Paul, he's the bad
- 3:33guy. Paul, he's he's Antichrist." But
- 3:35Paul is better than Muhammad. Paul, who
- 3:37wasn't married, told husbands how to be
- 3:39with their wives. Muhammad, who was
- 3:40married, he didn't know how to treat his
- 3:42wives equally. That's why they always
- 3:43complain, didn't they? Didn't the wives
- 3:45of Muhammad complain? "You're spending
- 3:46too much time with Aisha. You're not
- 3:47giving enough time for all of us."
- 3:49>> Yes.
- 3:49>> And what What his excuse? Because I'm
- 3:51going to shock some people. they're
- 3:52going to think no way. In the sound
- 3:53Hadith, it says when Muhammad would go
- 3:55to visit Aisha, she had two days, not
- 3:57just one. Do you know why?
- 3:58>> Oh, because Sauda he divorce
- 4:00>> Astaghfirullah, you know all this and
- 4:01you're still Muslim. Okay, Sauda bint
- 4:03Zama
- 4:03>> Yes, he divorce her.
- 4:04>> Why he divorce her?
- 4:06>> Because
- 4:06he was old.
- 4:07>> You just admitted she was old and then
- 4:09one Hadith says she was fat and he
- 4:11wasn't attracted to her. So he wanted to
- 4:12divorce her and then she begged him,
- 4:13"Don't divorce me. Keep me as your wife,
- 4:15but you can take my day and give it to
- 4:17Aisha." And Muhammad accepted and Allah
- 4:18accepted. What kind of God is this that
- 4:20sees Muhammad about to divorce an old
- 4:22woman that he married cuz she was old
- 4:24and fat and he was not attracted instead
- 4:26of rebuking Muhammad. Why didn't Allah
- 4:28rebuke Muhammad? "Hey, shame on you.
- 4:30That's not how you treat her. She's your
- 4:31wife." Instead Allah says, "Subhanallah,
- 4:34if that's an agreement she accepts, go
- 4:38with it." Allah actually blessed that
- 4:40agreement, made it an ayah in the Quran,
- 4:41chapter 4 verse 128.
- 4:43>> Yes, it's really sad.
- 4:44>> You know that, right?
- 4:45>> Yes, I know.
- 4:46>> The woman is old, he's not attracted to
- 4:48her, he wants to divorce her. So she
- 4:50makes a deal with him. She says,
- 4:51"Please, I want to be one of your wives
- 4:53in Jannah." Cuz she was deceived.
- 4:55>> Mhm.
- 4:55>> "If you divorce me, I won't be your wife
- 4:57in Jannah. Keep me as your wife so in
- 4:58Jannah I'm your wife, but you don't have
- 5:00to visit me." You know that means,
- 5:01right? Because the Christians don't know
- 5:03It means Sauda was locked in her house
- 5:06without Muhammad ever visiting her until
- 5:08she died. This is mercy?
- 5:11>> No. You know, last year I was really sad
- 5:15because I just realized that Islam is
- 5:19really bad. You know when like the
- 5:21Islamic marriage law, I don't want the
- 5:22marriage when my husband can be
- 5:24everything. It's really sad to be a
- 5:25woman, I think.
- 5:27>> Yep, but that's good. God is showing you
- 5:29Allah is a false God and there's a
- 5:30better way, his name is Jesus. But I
- 5:31want to show you another way. Paul, who
- 5:33wasn't married, right?
- 5:34>> Yes.
- 5:35>> And the Muslims talk about how bad Paul
- 5:36was. Yet you see, the words I read to
- 5:38you was Paul's words. The words of Paul
- 5:40was not married. Do you have anything as
- 5:42beautiful as compassion and mercy of
- 5:44what Paul wrote about husbands and
- 5:45wives?
- 5:46>> No.
- 5:46>> Do you find that in the Quran?
- 5:47>> No.
- 5:48>> How is it Paul has better teaching, more
- 5:51merciful, compassionate teaching, and
- 5:53shows more love and respect for women,
- 5:54and he's not married than your Quran and
- 5:55your prophet? And he's supposedly
- 5:57receiving wahy. Your wives are a tilt
- 5:59for you. Are you okay with this verse?
- 6:00You are my field and I can plow into
- 6:02you.
- 6:03>> It is actually sad.
- 6:04>> Are you sure? Because this is Allah and
- 6:05his messenger. What Allah and his
- 6:07messenger decree, the believing man and
- 6:09woman have no say so. That's what the
- 6:10Quran says. The Quran says you have no
- 6:12say so. So, why are you complaining?
- 6:14Because you're not a Muslim at heart.
- 6:15You are who's falling in love with
- 6:17Jesus. It is not for a believer, man or
- 6:19woman, when Allah and his messenger have
- 6:21decreed a matter that they should have
- 6:22any option in their decision. So,
- 6:24why are you complaining? You have no
- 6:25choice. Whoever disobeys Allah and his
- 6:27messenger, he has indeed strayed in a
- 6:28plain error. So, why are you complaining
- 6:31that Allah says you are a field, a
- 6:33field, and the man owns you like a
- 6:35field. So, if I have field, it's mine. I
- 6:37don't know I know I own it. It means
- 6:39you're property. A man owns you. You are
- 6:40property. The Quran is saying, "Men, the
- 6:43women are your field.
- 6:46Plow into them into them any way you
- 6:47want. They don't have a say so."
- 6:49>> I talked to a lot of people in you know,
- 6:52in Twitter that
- 6:53Islamic law is not fair to woman. And
- 6:56they always say, "Oh, this is like a
- 6:58test." Because they are like one hadith
- 7:00say that
- 7:00>> Very testy.
- 7:01>> Um any woman that pray, uh fasting, obey
- 7:05the man, going to enter heaven paradise.
- 7:07Any Do you you know that hadith?
- 7:09>> Yes, yeah. But this says that the Jannah
- 7:11of woman lay at the pleasure of their
- 7:13husbands. If a husband So, do you have
- 7:15your Jannah? So, that means your
- 7:17salvation is dependent on a husband
- 7:18being happy with you.
- 7:19>> Yeah, that's why I say, "Why do Islam
- 7:22Why do I need to go to heaven based on
- 7:23my husband?"
- 7:25>> Oh, sister, astaghfirullah. Hold on.
- 7:27A'uzubillah. What did the Quran say?
- 7:29It's not for a man or a woman who are
- 7:31believers once Allah and his messenger
- 7:33decreed a thing to have any option. Why
- 7:35are you complaining? Ya kafirah.
- 7:37>> I know.
- 7:39>> It's right there.
- 7:40Ya kafirah. I'm giving you Quran. It is
- 7:43not for a believer man or woman when
- 7:44Allah and his messenger have decreed a
- 7:45matter that they should have any option
- 7:47in their decision. Why are you
- 7:48complaining? You are now kafira. But
- 7:50now, which what look what Paul says.
- 7:52First Corinthians 7:1-5. Now concerning
- 7:54the things about which you wrote, it is
- 7:56good for a man not to touch a woman.
- 7:57Meaning, it's good if you don't get
- 7:59married as long as you don't burn.
- 8:00Devote yourself entirely to worship and
- 8:02spreading the deen. But because of
- 8:03sexual immoralities, too much
- 8:05temptation, each man is to have his own
- 8:07wife and each woman is to have her own
- 8:08husband. Now, how many husbands can a
- 8:10woman have according to the Paul? Paul's
- 8:14teaching which is from Jesus. How many?
- 8:15>> One.
- 8:16>> How many wives does a man have? Only
- 8:18one.
- 8:20In the Old Testament, God allowed a lot
- 8:22of things that he did not like. Now what
- 8:24Jesus says, "No. We're going to now do
- 8:27it the way God intended originally. When
- 8:30God created the first couple, did he
- 8:31create one man and three women? One man
- 8:33or four women? Or one man and one
- 8:35woman?"
- 8:35>> One man and one woman.
- 8:36>> So that means it tells you that God's
- 8:38design from the beginning was one man
- 8:40one woman, right?
- 8:41>> Yes.
- 8:41>> And that's what Jesus came to say. "I'm
- 8:43taking you back to the way it was. God
- 8:46allowed a lot of evil, a lot of
- 8:49immorality cuz people were very corrupt
- 8:52and sinful and couldn't do any better.
- 8:54Now I'm telling you we're going back to
- 8:56the way it was before evil, before sin.
- 8:59One man one woman. Just like a woman can
- 9:01only have one husband, a man can only
- 9:03have one wife." But now watch the
- 9:04fairness from a man who's never been
- 9:07married. "The husband must fulfill his
- 9:08duty to his wife. And likewise also the
- 9:11wife to her husband. The wife does not
- 9:13have authority over her own body, but
- 9:14the husband does." But now watch. "And
- 9:16likewise also the husband does not have
- 9:18authority over his own body, but the
- 9:20wife does." Do you get any more fair
- 9:21than this?
- 9:22>> No.
- 9:22>> How can Muhammad be an example for other
- 9:25people to marry the divorced wives of
- 9:26their adopted sons? Cuz that's what the
- 9:28ayah says. We'll come back. That's what
- 9:30the ayah says. It says, "You're doing
- 9:32this to be an example." Example for for
- 9:35here? "We joined her in marriage to the
- 9:37in order that in future there may be no
- 9:40difficulty to the believers in the
- 9:41matter of marriage with the wives of
- 9:43their adopted sons. So, what is he
- 9:44saying? You're an example so others can
- 9:46do the same thing if they want to.
- 9:48Okay, so you see it here, right?
- 9:51>> Yeah.
- 9:52>> My question is Allah knows everything,
- 9:54right?
- 9:55>> Yeah.
- 9:55>> According to them. Okay, well, Allah is
- 9:58saying this is why you're doing it
- 9:59Muhammad because then others will see
- 10:03they can marry the wives of their
- 10:06adopted sons there's no difficulty once
- 10:07a divorce has taken place.
- 10:09But then Allah knew he's going to
- 10:10abolish adoption.
- 10:12Because that's what he did afterwards.
- 10:13So, why have Muhammad marry his adopted
- 10:16son's wife after he divorced her when he
- 10:18knows shortly after this he's going to
- 10:20abolish adoption and this won't be an
- 10:22example for anyone cuz you can't have
- 10:23adopted sons.
- 10:25>> And they say
- 10:27that's an example because
- 10:29you can have feelings for her. So, this
- 10:31is the example that you can have
- 10:33feelings for her.
- 10:34>> [clears throat]
- 10:34>> Allah is saying later no more adoption,
- 10:37they're not your sons. He says the
- 10:39reason why I'm having Muhammad marry her
- 10:42so that others can marry the divorced
- 10:44wives of their adopted sons. Right here
- 10:46it says it. How then is this going to be
- 10:48an example if now later oh, they're not
- 10:51your adopted sons. Okay, so hold on but
- 10:54Muhammad married her so that I could
- 10:56then marry the divorced wife of one of
- 10:58my adopted son.
- 11:00But now you're telling me there's no
- 11:01adoption so he's not my son and then on
- 11:02top of that the son has to leave the
- 11:04house cuz you know about mahram, right?
- 11:06>> Yeah.
- 11:07>> So, if I adopted a son and now he's a
- 11:09man because he's considered my son, he's
- 11:12mahram he can stay with my wife
- 11:14and my daughter, right?
- 11:16>> Yeah.
- 11:17>> But now
- 11:19Allah says no more adoption, he's not
- 11:20your son. He's now got to get thrown
- 11:22out.
- 11:24He can't stay because he's not mahram.
- 11:27He can't be in the house with my wife
- 11:29and daughter anymore.
- 11:30Oops.
- 11:31Now they got to get thrown out.
- 11:33>> Yeah.
- 11:35>> Right?
- 11:36>> Right.
- 11:36>> So, what kind of law and logic is this?
- 11:39Because it caused a problem for one of
- 11:42the Muslims, and I'll show it to you.
- 11:45One of the Muslims, he had adopted a son
- 11:47living in the house, and now he's a
- 11:48grown man.
- 11:50He had a beard.
- 11:51Then Allah said in the Quran, chapter
- 11:5333, verses 4 and 5,
- 11:56"They are not your sons. Call them after
- 11:58their fathers." He abolished adoption.
- 12:00And the mufassirin, the commentators
- 12:02say, "This is because of the incident of
- 12:04Zaid." They were calling him Zaid ibn
- 12:06Muhammad, and they're saying, "How could
- 12:07you take your son's
- 12:09wife?" Then Allah said, "Don't call them
- 12:12your sons anymore." Chapter 33, verse 4
- 12:14and 5, "God has not made for any man two
- 12:15hearts in one body, nor has he made your
- 12:17wives, whom you divorce by zihar, your
- 12:19mothers. Nor has he made your adopted
- 12:21sons your sons.
- 12:23Such is only your manner of speech by
- 12:24your mouths, but God tells you the
- 12:26truth, and he shows the right way. Call
- 12:28them by the name of their fathers. That
- 12:30is just in the sight of Allah of God.
- 12:32But if you know not their fathers'
- 12:34names, they're brothers."
- 12:36That's is when Allah said, "No more
- 12:37adoption."
- 12:38"Or your mawlas, but there's no blame on
- 12:40you if you make a mistake therein.
- 12:42What counts is the intention of your
- 12:43hearts, your niya, and God is
- 12:44oft-returning, most merciful." Because
- 12:46of this, a Muslim man
- 12:49was now uncomfortable because he adopted
- 12:52a son, Salim,
- 12:55and he was grown, but now he's no longer
- 12:57a son, and he was now uncomfortable with
- 12:59him living in the house with his wife
- 13:01because he's not mahram. I want you,
- 13:03after I I read this to you, go in the
- 13:05Quran, find me something similar to
- 13:08this. Just you between you and God.
- 13:10Here's Jesus speaking. Let me show you
- 13:12what Jesus says. And I want you to go in
- 13:14the Quran and say, "Man, can I find
- 13:16something like this, such promise and
- 13:19hope?" Here, Matthew 11:27-30, "All
- 13:22things have been handed over to me by my
- 13:24father."
- 13:25According to Quran, Allah is not the
- 13:27father of Jesus. That's another story.
- 13:29No one knows the son except the father,
- 13:31and no one knows the father except the
- 13:32son.
- 13:33And anyone to whom the son decides to
- 13:35reveal him. Now, look, this is Jesus
- 13:36speaking. Come to me,
- 13:39all you who are weary and burdened, and
- 13:42I will give you rest. Salaam.
- 13:45That's why we say salaam al Masih.
- 13:48Take my yoke on you and learn from me,
- 13:51because I am gentle,
- 13:54humble in heart, and you'll find rest
- 13:56for your souls. For my yoke is easy to
- 13:59bear, and my load is not hard to carry.
- 14:02Please, do me a favor. Next time when we
- 14:03meet, say, "Sam, I found an ayah like
- 14:05this that sounds as beautiful like
- 14:07this." And then the final one.
- 14:09John 14, verses 1 to 6.
- 14:12John 14, verses 1 to 6. Do not let your
- 14:15hearts be distressed. You believe in
- 14:17God, believe also in me. Now, who's the
- 14:18God?
- 14:20There are many dwelling places in my
- 14:22father's [snorts] house. God is my
- 14:24father.
- 14:25Otherwise, I would have told you,
- 14:26because I'm going away to make ready a
- 14:28place for you. Now, look at his promise.
- 14:30You will believe in me, I'm preparing a
- 14:32place for you in Jannah.
- 14:35I'm going to build you a home in Jannah.
- 14:38I I'm going to do it.
- 14:40I.
- 14:41Okay? And if I go and make ready a place
- 14:43for you, I will come again and take you
- 14:46to be with me, so that where I am, you
- 14:48may be too. So, he's promising.
- 14:50When death comes, and you believe in me,
- 14:53I will be the one to bring you to your
- 14:56home in heaven, cuz at death, I will
- 14:58come and meet you and take you home.
- 15:01And you know the way where I'm going.
- 15:02Now, watch. Thomas said, "Lord, we don't
- 15:05know where you're going. How can we know
- 15:06the way?"
- 15:07So, if you're praying sincerely, here's
- 15:09your answer. When you pray, Allah guide
- 15:11you sirat al mustaqim,
- 15:13Jesus says, "You don't need to look.
- 15:15It's me." Jesus replied, "I am the way,
- 15:19al tariq.
- 15:21And the truth, al haqq. And by the way,
- 15:24one of the 99 names of Allah is Al-Haqq.
- 15:26Al-Haqq?
- 15:27Nowhere in the Quran Hadith
- 15:29the words Al-Haqq is given to anyone but
- 15:32Allah, not even to your prophet.
- 15:34Jesus says,
- 15:35Anil Haqq, I am the truth and the life.
- 15:39I am the life.
- 15:41Al-
- 15:43Hayat
- 15:44Nowhere in the Quran and Sunnah
- 15:46does any prophet say he's a life. Jesus
- 15:49says, I am the way, the truth, and the
- 15:50life. No one comes to the Father except
- 15:52through me. So, Jesus says,
- 15:55"You want God to be your father? You
- 15:56need to come to me and I'll take you
- 15:58home to your father. But in Islam, Allah
- 16:01is not your father, he's your master and
- 16:02you're his slave. In Jesus, God is your
- 16:05father and Jesus is the one who gives
- 16:07you life and takes you home cuz he is
- 16:09the way."
