00:29I grew up a Christian right and in the church they always taught us that Jesus was all about love and caring and healing and miracles and all this kind of stuff but people online they have some horrible things to say about the prophet Muhammad they say he started wars he had slaves and slavery killed people did some horrible things they say he's an evil person is there any truth to this well you know history the word
00:59is that his story history that's a good one haven't heard that one before and you know the victor or those who are socially dominant they always write the narrative and that narrative cannot be corrected until someone else is strong enough to be able to put it forward right so let me just put things into proper perspective first of all Jesus he wasn't always so non-violent or so really so no no
01:29if you go to the bible when he entered the temple you know of the priest and he flipped over all the tables and he called them and he called them vipers and lepers and all of that there so I mean you enter a temple you know because they did their money changes inside there they did their deals inside there so he saw that they were hypocrites he saw that they were living a double standard and he didn't just talk to them with love flowers and all of that no
01:57he kicked over the tables he kicked over he challenged them so is this a person that's kind of radical the other thing is that the people who keep talking this thing about online I would guarantee you that 7 out of the 10 people who are online saying that are Europeans who is more violent than the Europeans now I'm not saying all the Europeans now so I don't want people you know who are Europeans say oh shit you know why are you talking like that no
02:24we're talking about civilizations we're talking about civilizations whether it is Rome whether it was Byzantine okay whether it's the French or the Danish or whether it's the Vikings or whatever just think back just 300 years who were the ones that provoked the wars the Europeans who were the ones in some way that engaged in slavery enslaved more than 80 million people extracted them from their from and distributed them all over the world
02:54this exploitation all over the world for the past 200 300 years who did that so I think that the Europeans or those that are online our European brothers and sisters in humanity who are saying all these things go back home check your own history check your own civilizations check out history for yourself and be objective if you're able to do that and you would not be able to say a word so violence in Islam came and started from
03:24as far as Muhammad peace and grass and upon him no one could say that because for 13 years the rule was to hold the hands in Arabic it's called
03:31Kufwa Aydina Kufwa Aydina so Kufwa means to hold the hands back from reaction so during 13 years the prophet said no word he didn't defend himself
03:42really people took his property they killed his followers they oppressed him they kicked him they spit at him
03:47the first 13 years first 13 years in Mecca God ordered him not to respond
03:52wow not even to not to react but not even to respond really so if we look at those 13 years
03:58this is 13 years of really high level of discipline and tolerance wow but nobody wants to set this problem
04:05then when it comes to the next 10 years the prophet peace and blessed me upon him he engaged in
04:1151 battles approximately but all these were battles where the people came to him
04:16really not one all these battles were initiated first by the Quraysh so he's in now Medina so the
04:22prophet didn't go to Mecca to initiate something against him the first battles he engaged in with
04:28the Quraysh the Quraysh came to him wow the prophet only initiated a battle against the Quraysh after
04:35God gave him the command the command for you today is to fight and defend yourself he never did that
04:42until he got the command from all my God so when prophet Muhammad did get the command to go offensive
04:47why did God give this command was there like a treaty broken or what were the circumstances
04:51defensive warfare Allah gave him the right to defend himself not just to be tolerant you know not just
04:58to be prophetic you know and tolerant but now defend yourself yeah no no the offensive the offensive yeah
05:06he's defending himself and after he defends himself now there came a time when and you know inside the
05:12bible inside scripture when a prophet puts on his war gear he doesn't take it off see a prophet
05:18can be timing but when God orders a prophet then to go into warfare whether it was Solomon whether
05:23it was David or the prophet Muhammad peace and blessing upon him now war is war and war is there now to
05:29what defend the word to make a statement and then to become victorious so what were all the wars about
05:34why did these wars happen what were they fighting for well I think if we're very honest when wars wars are
05:41fought for power the ultimate end of war is to achieve victory right power over the enemy so that
05:49your statement can become a precedent so at a certain point Allah ordered the messenger of Allah
05:56to not only defend the faith but to promote the faith so let's bring things back into perspective okay
06:02if anybody wants to read the life of Muhammad peace and blessing upon him who he was how he was
06:08perceived what was his character what was said about him before before the revelation came to him
06:13that's the best evidence not others but those where he lived he was called al amin that means the most
06:21trustworthy oh okay okay when he was 19 years old he belonged to a group called health and fudul I'll
06:27translate it it means a pact who are whose job it is to protect the integrity of the society he belonged to
06:35okay okay so would a person who's radical known to be violent like he's a gang banger or something like that
06:42would he belong to a group called health and fudul the pact of protecting the integrity of the society
06:47absolutely not so that was the people who knew him secondly the romans the christians the jews all the people
06:55who were his ideological opponents they never said that about him really never let me give you another issue that
07:03that people don't know about the prophecy was persecuted in mecca for 13 years before he fled to
07:09medina or yathrit when he was on his way there he knew they were coming to kill him so he escaped
07:15with abubakar okay but he left ali his cousin in his house well the reason he did that is when they came
07:22to kill the prophets and they found ali there when they found him there so they couldn't kill ali that
07:27was outside of the agreement so they asked ali why did he leave you here what kind of man is it
07:32that leave you a young boy in his place ali said the messenger of allah so said left me in his house
07:39because he was still holding the amana or treasure some money some wealth for some of the people of
07:48koreish these are the ones killing him these are the ones of his arch enemies but he's holding a treasure in
07:53in his house because they gave that to him to hold before the conflict he was known to be a
07:59trustworthy person people deposited their wealth with him and so these are people killing his
08:03followers these are people who were set up to kill him but before that they didn't ask for their money
08:09back they never asked for the treasure back they never asked for this amana or this trust back from
08:14him because these are two different issues he was known to be truthful he was known to be a person of
08:19integrity so there was there was nothing that diminished that with them uh look i'm saying this
08:24to you not because it's a story or a myth or something like this it's something that can be documented
08:29by tens and thousands of people who are now you know when the prophet peace and rest of the upon
08:35had the order from god to move into offense he was kicked out of mecca he was exploited he was hunted
08:42the property of his followers was confiscated uh his people were killed and and whatever when he came
08:48back to mecca which was seven years after the immigration so we talked about 20 years of
08:55persecution when he came back to mecca and conquered mecca with 10 000 soldiers at that day he gave
09:04amnesty to everyone really in history what ruler after he was pushed out um mistreated
09:13exploited killed all of that what ruler came back and gave the people amnesty
09:18the prophet peace and blessing upon him he gave his people amnesty including the house of abu
09:24sufyan abu sufyan's house when he gave amnesty to his house what that meant in the house of abu
09:30sufyan there was a woman called hind the wife she killed the uncle of the prophet peace and
09:36blessing upon him and cut it open and ate his liver out of her hatred and vengeance
09:42she was trembling that day thinking for sure she's going to be killed he said the house of
09:47abu sufyan is safe wow that means that he gave amnesty not only to the people in general he gave
09:54complete amnesty who would do that except the person of mercy so i just like i understand what you're
10:00saying but it just feels like islam was perpetrated by war by force okay do you want me to give you a real
10:06yes please a real poignant example yes the largest population of muslims on the earth today
10:13is indonesia and malaysia no doubt about that the largest population of muslims on the earth
10:20islam entered indonesia through business muslims from a place called hadramot this is the area
10:28hadramot is between medina and between yemen this is where these traders came from okay because they
10:33they were sailors they were involved they had their own boats they were seaworthy people they
10:39left from that area and sailed to what is now indonesia and they entered indonesia as merchants
10:46businessmen within 20 years indonesia became muslim wow no army no intrusion no force they became muslim
10:58by virtue of the dignity the character the manners of these traders who came from
11:06hadramot so these traders were such high level character people the goods and services that they
11:14provided someone should read that story it would dispel all of these ideas about islam coming by force
11:22and by the sword and all that again it's by those who write the narratives so you know people
11:28who keep saying these things it's because they were bamboozled run amok you know led us straight
11:35okay that makes a lot of sense but can we just go back to the time of the prophet
11:38so during these wars that there's no doubt there was a lot of wars in the prophet's life
11:43but what was his character like how did he treat the people during war did he kill people what happened
11:49first of all the quran set forth the first scripture that ever set forth the protocols of
11:55war who can be killed who cannot be killed what do they say women and children cannot be killed really
12:02those who do not hold weapons cannot be killed those who are not provocateurs cannot be killed
12:07those that are not in uniform cannot be killed i mean we can just go on to at least 35 or 40 different
12:13protocols yeah and so the quran even set forward clearly a principle he said that one life that is
12:20taken without justice it's like you have killed an entire nation wow this is what the quran says
12:27and if you save one life it's as if you have saved a nation so the principle is already there in the
12:32quran and the evidence is in the life of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam not the principles
12:36are not established by people who say it's about who lived the actual life itself and then i gave you the
12:42example of how the muslims entered malays no armies in fact you will find that most of the
12:50most of the people who accepted islam they accepted islam after the wars not because of the war islam
12:57laid out very clear protocols of warfare that doesn't exist didn't exist before islam and and didn't
13:04exist after islam we have to try to encourage people to read and not just to read what muslims wrote
13:11but read what is documented on one occasion you know there was one of the muslim generals well-known
13:17general his name was khalid and khalid was um he was a very radical person i mean he was a companion
13:24of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he became a muslim um he was the only one that injured the
13:28prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam before islam before he came into islam but khalid never lost a battle
13:35before he was a muslim and after he was a muslim he never lost a battle this is how prominent that he was
13:41and on one occasion the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam sent uh uh khalid out um to engage
13:47in war and they took a large number of prisoners and khalid asked the messenger of allah peace and
13:54bless him he asked him to his emissary what should i do with them and the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said
14:00take care of them but it meant to preserve them take care of them in the sense in the sense of like
14:06make sure they have their rights do what we're supposed to do with prisoners this is what he
14:12said but khalid he took it that means tighten them up just do away with them because khalid was a
14:20warrior he took the entire he took the he took the order differently and khalid killed them so when the
14:26prophet sallam heard of that he said oh allah please free me make me free exempt me from what
14:33khalid has done this is documented so the message of the law says never harmed anybody in
14:39fact i want to recite something that he said to all his soldiers he said a statement that's in the
14:44that's documented well he said now i have to say it in arabic
14:45this means there is no harming and no reciprocity of harm so this whole idea of harming even the
14:57prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he forbid us to slap an animal wow he forbid us from kicking a dog or a
15:03cat he forbade us from harming an animal so what about a human being see so the high level of the
15:10prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's character is has to be really looked at objectively you know
15:15a verse of the quran that came to show the world what kind of man he said a lot the prophet allah said
15:25and i have to translate this he says allah says to muhammad oh muhammad he's reminding him indeed you
15:31are of a high level of character so this is what god said concerning the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
15:40and then in another place he called muhammad a mercy to humanity now here mercy doesn't mean
15:45mercy like god's mercy it meant a person who himself was merciful so how can what people are saying
15:53from a point of prejudice how can that override even what non-muslims wrote and documented about
16:00the prophet muhammad piece of this in their poem i think that if you found a hundred writers european
16:05writers non-muslim writers you find only five of them writing these kind of prejudicial statements
16:10so could they override what the other 95 broke objectively they cannot it seems like
16:14prophet muhammad had a full spectrum of what he covered in his lifetime if you look at
16:19muhammad's life in total it seems like he just brought so much more structure and law like women's
16:24rights how to dress how to live marriage inheritance laws the court system everything it seems like he
16:31completed a whole law and then when you look at jesus's life he he only had 12 disciples he he preached he
16:39healed he did miracles he did all these beautiful things it seems like jesus didn't actually come to
16:43establish any laws if anything he says in the bible that he never came to abolish the laws of moses he
16:49just came to fulfill them so i just i just feel like there's a very big difference in mission between
16:53these two people would you agree on this lily you came to a very good assessment so let's clarify a couple
16:59things first of all jesus the son of mary from birth a miraculous birth until his room removal from
17:09the world how many years did he live 33 years and in those 33 years what did he accomplish he delivered
17:16his message he confirmed what came before him and he prophesied about what would come after him so he was
17:26not he wasn't to be a builder a legislator a warrior he didn't marry he didn't have children uh he
17:35wasn't a legislator he wasn't a ruler we could just go on and see that there was at least 15 categories
17:41that muhammad saw him and that that jesus christ the son of mary 15 categories that he never even
17:47entertained right whereas muhammad peace invest upon was a complete personality for humanity from his birth until
17:56his death he completed the full spectrum that's the word that you use he completed the full
18:01spectrum of the capabilities of a human being from being a shepherd all the way to the point where
18:09before he passed away he was literally the king the ruler of the entire arabian peninsula and so his
18:17example which has been documented the spectrum of it is completely different from jesus the son of mary not
18:24because we prefer any one of them no allah says says in the quran we do not as muslims we don't
18:32make any distinction between them in terms of their honor their dignity or whatever the case might be
18:37but certainly in their life and in their capacity there is distinction so there was a distinction between
18:43jesus and prophet muhammad peace and brother in so many different ways that doesn't diminish the phenomena of
18:49of the life of the dignity of the life of the importance of the life jesus the son of mary
18:54and certainly um by what muhammad peace and blessing upon accomplished doesn't diminish at all what any
19:01other prophet did no this is the way that he was programmed for his exactly mission and it's like
19:07just a complement to each other and a continuation and a completion of all the religions i completely agree
19:12and i think everything has just made so much more sense and clarity and really brought a light
19:18on the reason why there was so many wars in prophet muhammad's life if you really look into the history
19:24and the reasoning behind all this stuff you start to understand that it's all logical and it wasn't from a
19:31place of violence it was a necessity of that time and if you actually look into the stories of the
19:38war times and how prophet muhammad carried himself and his characteristics during these
19:43times you understand that it really wasn't about violence and i think that's just so clear after
19:50today's chat and i hope you guys out there understood and got some clarity from today because
19:55i certainly did don't just accept everything you hear online actually stop and learn and listen and
20:01dive deep into these questions it's important to really understand what the truth is to the best
20:06availability thank you so much for tuning in and i'll see you guys next time
