He Said Islam Is False… @InspiringPhilosophy gets educa… — Transcript

Hey, are you there?

Yeah, yeah.

Are you Muslim?

Yes, sir.

All right, can you show us why Islam is true?

No problem. So I can give you an exhaustive account of why I believe Islam to be the truth.

And so just bear with me, and I'll go over a couple arguments and if you want to highlight or specify.

Well, let's go, let's go through one argument at a time and if it, if it doesn't convince us, we can move to the next one or something.

So these are my criterions that I would use to sufficiently prove that the Prophet Muhammad is a true prophet, I would say, first of all.

We have uh preservation, we have traceability of our sources back to its origin, whenever it comes to the Quran, whenever it comes to the evidences that we use, whenever it comes to the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad, this is what we use.

Hey, let's slow down, let's slow down a little bit here.

You're talking really fast, there's no reason to go this fast, bro.

No problem.

So I believe that the Prophet Muhammad, according to the revelation that he received, he had knowledge about the unknowable past and he had knowledge about the unforeseeable future.

All right, so let's talk about the past, what's the ignoble past he knew about?

The Prophet Muhammad, he gave us a multitude of specific claims within the Quran by virtue of the revelation that he received, where he talks about the ancient prayers that the Egyptians used to use and utilize in uh basically glorifying and deifying their authoritative figures.

All right, we can go into that evidence.

He also gives us.

Wait, wait, hold up, so they, they used to glorify their figures and that's somehow evidence.

Yes, so the Prophet Muhammad was aware of ancient hieroglyphical prayers, do you agree or disagree so far?

You have to show me that he's actually aware of them.

And also that's, that would have been common knowledge, we know for example that this information was preserved in like Greeks, for example, the, the Greek works, they knew about the way the Egyptian religion worked and they passed that down.

Sounds good.

So let's get into it, please.

So here.

It would be chapter 44, verse 17, right? And you just have to highlight and specify chapter 44, verse 17, and then you connect that to chapter 44, verse 29. If you want me to share my screen, I can put the verses.

Indeed, before them we tested Pharaoh's people, a noble messenger came to them. That's verse 17. Do you want me to read verse 29?

Yes, please.

Okay. Neither heaven nor earth wept over them, nor was their fate delayed. What about this is supposed to be.

Okay, if I could put up a source from Alan Gardiner where he translates the ancient utterances, if you can allow me to share my screen, you can check it out, see if I'm going to share anything bad, if you'd like before you put it up.

Okay, so, yeah, we tested Pharaoh.

Now, isn't this, now, real quick, isn't this about the Pharaoh drowning in the Red Sea?

No, this isn't.

You sure?

That's in the story of Yusuf, yes.

I thought that was in a couple different verses, isn't it?

No, I can, we can go over those verses in a bit.

But right here we're hyper-fixated on one specific glorification, one specific prayer that the ancient Egyptians used to use and utilize in uh saying that the cosmic bodies or these inanimate objects used to weep over their authoritative figure. So neither the heavens nor the earth wept over them, nor was their fate delayed.

Now, whenever it comes to the ancient utterances that we have, this is Samuel A. B. Mercer, where he translates the ancient utterance texts, right? The ancient utterances.

But I mean, this is common knowledge of the ancient world, we know that people did this with idols. Muhammad's just repeating tales of old that he knew about.
