2. 0:17hi everyone welcome back to unveiling
3. 0:19Islam I'm David wood here with brother
4. 0:21Rasheed brother Rasheed we've got I
5. 0:26think around 2.2 2.3 billion Christians
6. 0:29in the world world we have uh almost 2
7. 0:32billion Muslims in the world so it's
8. 0:35pretty pretty important how these two
9. 0:37groups view each other and and interact
10. 0:41and Muhammad had said a lot of things
11. 0:44about Christians during his time and we
12. 0:46find those things in the Quran and
13. 0:50what's interesting is is the the Quran
14. 0:53speaks about Jews and Christians as the
15. 0:55people of the book yes and at least
16. 0:57early on at least early on Muhammad
17. 1:00seemed to have a very favorable view of
18. 1:04both Jews and Christians in other words
19. 1:06early on in his early Revelations he
20. 1:07seem to view it as it's Muslims and
21. 1:11Christians and Jews and we're all
22. 1:14together as the monotheist against the
23. 1:17polytheist yes and that that didn't hold
24. 1:20together that view didn't hold together
25. 1:21very long well that's a that's a good
26. 1:24explanation how Muhammad changed his
27. 1:26view about Christians and Jews through
28. 1:29his uh lifetime or at least the 23 years
29. 1:33first he thought I'm going to talk about
30. 1:36one God about talk about Moses Jesus and
31. 1:39all these they will be happy they will
32. 1:41follow me and we will be all together
33. 1:45against
34. 1:46politicus of course his first helper was
35. 1:50waraka which was the cousin of Khadijah
36. 1:54and he was supposedly a
37. 1:56Christian another thing when they had
38. 1:59some persecution there they fled to
39. 2:02Ethiopia or what we call Ethiopia
40. 2:05habasha back in the days and they went
41. 2:07there and they had protection from
42. 2:09Christians so they thought like yeah we
43. 2:12are kind of the same boat we believe in
44. 2:14the same beliefs we have some little
45. 2:17differences but they are on my side when
46. 2:20he moved to Medina things changed he was
47. 2:22like you are going to believe in me no
48. 2:24we are not I am a prophet no you are not
49. 2:29I am in your book no you are
50. 2:31not and then he started oh okay well the
51. 2:36angel Gabriel will take care of you guys
52. 2:38and then the verses started being nasty
53. 2:41towards Christians and Jews and and that
54. 2:43is interesting that uh that the quran's
55. 2:47view of Jews and Christians
56. 2:50changes based on Muhammad's feelings
57. 2:53about Jews and Christians yes so so I
58. 2:55understand it's it's it's another
59. 2:57situation where I understand it if this
60. 2:58is coming from Muhammad I don't
61. 3:00understand it if it's coming from God if
62. 3:03it's Allah is a projection of Muhammad
63. 3:06in the Quran yeah almost like like
64. 3:08really bad like almost on the level of
65. 3:09like a sock puppet or something like
66. 3:11that because um if if Muhammad however
67. 3:16he's feeling towards some group the
68. 3:17revelations come down to confirm that
69. 3:20yeah so early on it's uh hey you know
70. 3:23all the monotheist are together we're
71. 3:24all friends we're all buddies and the
72. 3:26Quran verses of that time like in Surah
73. 3:2810 are even
74. 3:30are even saying that the the scriptures
75. 3:32of the Jews and Christians are
76. 3:33authoritative even over Muhammad in
77. 3:35other words when Allah says in Surah 10
78. 3:37Muhammad if you have any doubts this is
79. 3:39an early reation if you have any doubts
80. 3:41about the revelations you're receiving
81. 3:43go to the people of the book and make
82. 3:45sure your Revelations line up with
83. 3:47theirs that's how you confirm yourm
84. 3:49confirm your Revelations even even the
85. 3:51the
86. 3:52first uh months in Medina he was still
87. 3:57kind to them because he was EXP in them
88. 4:00to join him in a war against his own
89. 4:03tribe which didn't happen for example
90. 4:06Bak which just when he moved to Medina
91. 4:09bakar started coming the chapter of the
92. 4:11cow 262 he says indeed those who
93. 4:15believed and those who were Jews or
94. 4:18Christians or Sab before Prophet
95. 4:21Muhammad those among them they they add
96. 4:23the addition into the translation I'm
97. 4:26going to skip the addition those who
98. 4:28believed in Allah and the last day and
99. 4:30did righteousness will have their reward
100. 4:33with their lord means like
101. 4:35all will be good Christians Jews sabines
102. 4:40all these groups will be good later on
103. 4:43things changed and then he started uh in
104. 4:47in bakar because bakar just lasted for
105. 4:51we we explained earlier that the Quran
106. 4:53is not one shot a chapter it's so many
107. 4:57times it's expended over periods so
108. 5:00verse here verse there verse here verse
109. 5:02there so Al bakar even the same chapter
110. 5:05120 says something
111. 5:07else never will the Jews or Christians
112. 5:10be pleased with
113. 5:12you well I mean it's the
114. 5:16opposite until you follow their faith
115. 5:19because they told him no he was like oh
116. 5:22they will never be pleased with me until
117. 5:24I follow their faith say Allah's
118. 5:27guidance is the only true guidance
119. 5:31and this is one of them in Surah
120. 5:345 oh you who believed do not take the
121. 5:38Jews or Christians as allies as friends
122. 5:43do not take them as friends and actually
123. 5:45in Morocco we always talked about
124. 5:47Christians as
125. 5:49Nara and if we want to insult somebody
126. 5:53if a mother is really mad at her kid she
127. 5:56will be come here you nasani or you je
128. 6:00you yehoodi so if she says to a kid
129. 6:03yehoodi means like that's the worst
130. 6:05insult he can get on his life if she
131. 6:08says or somebody's doing something you
132. 6:10get mad at him he will be like what you
133. 6:13think I'm Nani you think I'm Christian
134. 6:15or I'm a
135. 6:17Jew so and if we make jokes about Jews
136. 6:21we used to say uh hashek it means like
137. 6:25it's not it's not really appropriate
138. 6:28there was a and so we have to start with
139. 6:31something that asking to be Excuse
140. 6:34excuse my language mhm and that comes
141. 6:38from
142. 6:39this from these verses how Muhammad
143. 6:43looked at Christians and Jews and became
144. 6:46part of the culture and the uh the the
145. 6:49transition that we see is again first
146. 6:53it's from the Islamic perspective it's
147. 6:56Muslims Jews and Christians against the
148. 6:59polye
149. 7:00yes then he started having problems with
150. 7:02because he was around more Jews when he
151. 7:03me to went to Medina there were three
152. 7:05Jewish tribes there and he still seemed
153. 7:08to think that the Christians were uh
154. 7:11going to eventually side with him so we
155. 7:14have I'll just read Surah 5 verse
156. 7:1782 which is in that transitional period
157. 7:20where he still seemed to think that the
158. 7:21Christians were going to were going to
159. 7:23confirm him but it says surfi vers 82
160. 7:26strongest among men in enmity to the the
161. 7:29Believers wilt thou find the Jews and
162. 7:32pagans and nearest among them in love to
163. 7:36the Believers wilt thou find those who
164. 7:39say we are
165. 7:41Christians so so here it's so here
166. 7:44it's pagans and polytheists I mean
167. 7:47pagans and Jews United against
168. 7:52Christians and Muslims like Muslims and
169. 7:53Christians are going to be on the same
170. 7:55side against uh the Jews and the
171. 7:57polytheist and that that doesn't last
172. 8:00either actually in the verse when he
173. 8:03continues later on he says those who cry
174. 8:06when they yeah we cry when we hear the
175. 8:07Quran Revelations it means like they are
176. 8:09sympathizing with him he found some
177. 8:11people who are sympathizing with him he
178. 8:13only praised those ones actually and so
179. 8:16but what's interesting you could find
180. 8:18you can imagine why people would do that
181. 8:19right if they're surrounded in a
182. 8:21polytheistic culture and then someone
183. 8:23comes along and he's praising Jesus and
184. 8:25Mary and talking about God and nature
185. 8:27how God
186. 8:30yeah and You' say oh my goodness it's so
187. 8:31great that someone someone down here is
188. 8:33saying this and suddenly ah you know
189. 8:36Christians yeah see Christians are
190. 8:38Christians are united with us in love
191. 8:40and that that doesn't last very long
192. 8:43in
193. 8:45986 he calls Christians and Jews as the
194. 8:49worst of
195. 8:52creatures in Surah
196. 8:55930 9 is like the last chapter that was
197. 8:59is supposedly revealed to Muhammad he
198. 9:03say the Jews say Ezra is the son of
199. 9:06Allah I I I we will talk about it later
200. 9:10probably and the Christians say the
201. 9:12Messiah is the son of Allah and he
202. 9:14continues to say at the end may Allah
203. 9:17destroy
204. 9:18them this is in the Quran Muhammad
205. 9:22saying that Allah himself is wishing to
206. 9:26destroy Christians and Jews and that
207. 9:29verse conveniently comes right after
208. 9:319:29 yes read that one yeah comment
209. 9:35about it yeah Surah 9:29 Allah commands
210. 9:38his followers fight those who do not
211. 9:41believe in Allah nor the last day nor
212. 9:43hold that forbidden which ha been
213. 9:44forbidden by Allah and his messenger nor
214. 9:46acknowledge the religion of Truth and it
215. 9:48says from among the people of the book
216. 9:50so it's talking specifically Jews and
217. 9:51Christians until they pay the jizya with
218. 9:54willing submission and feel themselves
219. 9:56subdued so uh So based on this
220. 9:59929 Christians and Jews had two
221. 10:03choices either to pay money so they can
222. 10:07stay as Christians and Jews or convert
223. 10:11to Islam the third option is not an
224. 10:13option it's just to kill you
225. 10:16MH based on
226. 10:19that my own people got destroyed in
227. 10:23history I'm from a
228. 10:25Berber bloodline berbers were Christ
229. 10:29Christians in majority wasn't that
230. 10:31wasn't Augustine Augustine was Berber
231. 10:35tertian was Berber Cent ttian St
232. 10:38Augustine St uh polycarp was uh the the
233. 10:42Church of carage which is Tunisia was
234. 10:46the main Church in North Africa it
235. 10:48covers Morocco Algeria Tunisia all that
236. 10:51place berbers were strong
237. 10:54Christians they were 70 Bishops when
238. 10:57they gather for 70 Bishops in North
239. 11:01Africa in Morocco and Algeria and
240. 11:03Tunisia when Islam came in the 7th
241. 11:05Century wiped them out took their kids
242. 11:11as captives to the
243. 11:14ciff took their daughters as captives
244. 11:17based on
245. 11:19929 in Egypt the same thing in Libya
246. 11:23didn't have money to pay jizya he said
247. 11:28sell the the the Muslim Invaders they
248. 11:30say sell your
249. 11:33kids and pay jiz so you can stay
250. 11:36Christian this is what happened in
251. 11:38history so this verse Muslims say it
252. 11:43abrogates each peaceful verse before it
253. 11:47because it's in chapter n the last
254. 11:49chapter revealed to Muhammad this verse
255. 11:52killed millions of people took many
256. 11:58girls and in Morocco
257. 12:00alone in history it's written
258. 12:06120,000 girls were sent to the cff
259. 12:11Berber girls and
260. 12:14boys 20,000 that's according to Muslim
261. 12:18sources not according to
262. 12:20me so talk about peace and the
263. 12:24Quran so putting all of that together um
264. 12:28it is very common for Muslims who are
265. 12:30doing daah that's like their version of
266. 12:33evangelism to go to passages in the
267. 12:36Quran that are um where we have some
268. 12:38common ground about Jesus or verses that
269. 12:41are saying uh something early on in
270. 12:43Muhammad's career when he had a more
271. 12:44favorable view of Christians and say see
272. 12:47this is what Islam teaches don't forget
273. 12:49that the final marching orders of the
274. 12:52Quran are to violently subjugate
275. 12:55Christians and Jews whenever possible
276. 12:58and so when you have a when you when you
277. 12:59have Revelations coming from a person
278. 13:01whose views are constantly changing uh
279. 13:03need to see what the the ultimate
280. 13:05takeaway message is
