Sapient Thoughts #12: Were all the species on Earth put on Noah's ark? | Mohammed Hijab

[IbnMurrah]

*Christianity and Islam have similar stories.* Yet the Islamic Narrative just adds up so much better.

[gasserhegazy]

Quran no doubt about it is the ultimate truth

May Allah grant the Muhammad Hijab jannat ul firdous

What I learnt: The Arabic "kull", which is usually translated as "every", doesn't have to imply a absolute totality, but can also used in a more general sense meaning "alot/many/wide-number", and in fact Imam Suyuti (born 500 years ago) wrote a book on this word Kull and showed multiple examples of where the word "kull" CANNOT mean a totality of everything.

This series is a blessing from Allah. Alhamdulillah. May Allah bless u all for doing such an amazing work.

[adejaya]

It would also be useless to put fish in the ship.

[BrothaSoofi]

Jezak'Allah Kheir for this one akhi.

I think you should do an entire section on Nuh(as) and the Islamic perspective on the flood.

[mustafakhan]

What a greats series I ask to Allah keep muhammad hijab humble and increase him in his years to benefit the Ummah

[checkmattee]

I really like this series. Will be staying tuned In shaa Allah.

[randomabd]

I was thinking about it too, I had thought the Ark must have been of very large size but this is a better and true explanation. Jazakallah Khair. Please continue.

[hassaanhayat]

I was just about to email you about this question and then you uploaded the video. Allahu Akbar

My grandfather is a Scholar of Islam and in his book, ''Scientific Probe into the Holy Quran'', he debunks the myth of a global flood and Noah carrying every species onto his Ark. The flood was very much a localized flood to punish the people of Noah (not to punish the entire world), and Noah was advised to carry a pair each of his cattle & livestock, that would aid in his survival. Muslims have unfortunately adopted Biblical stories.

[najmaalikhan]

Mashallah, Jazakallah khair brother Hijab for an excellent explanation regarding Noah (pbuh),

[TheGloriousQuran]

*People just don’t understand what kull means*
_David Wood didn’t understand it with his “Allah has body parts” argument_
_People who argue against the Black-Seed Hadith don’t understand it_
_And the people who argue against the Noah’s Ark in the Qur’an don’t understand it_

[amrelkhayri]

I would have liked the argument better if you presented an example such as: "the house is on fire!! Grab everyone and get out!" The context of 'everyone' is obviously not 7 billion people. The same for Noah a.s. Everything of what he would have had. Probably a few goats and sheep. Also the Quranic text is very clear it was a local event when it states 'We drowned them' specifically talking about Noah's people.

[konkarip]

Brother Mohammed, please make an appearance on Logan Paul’s podcast. I’ve got many teenage friends that follow Logan and Im sure many young people from all over the world follow him. So I think that this would be a great opportunity to present the real Islam to the young generation and spread the truth. Keep doing what you’re doing brother. We are proud of you mashallah!

[ummrawamus]

alhamdulillaah for muhammad hijab. may Allaah Subhaanahu wa Taalah reward him immensely. aameen

[helena]

I've always wondered about this too it's great to have an answer for it.👍

[uniuni]

As a Arab speaking arabic, I don't see any dilemma here with كل
Maybe the translation doesn't give it's correct meaning.
Edit: you couldn't have explained it better 👍

[fs]

I read in tafseer that flood was sent to people of Noah (peace be upon him) and not the whole world. Allah knows best.
