Judaism vs. Islam

Why did Islam emerge in 7th-century Arabia and what role did Jews play in its early history? How does Judaism view Islam today? And what are the similarities and differences between the two religions?

Find out in this class where we also explore the Jewish wives and advisors of Muhammad, if a Jew is allowed to pray in a mosque, and an incredible prophecy about the role of Ishmael at the End of Days.

Your lectures are fascinating and FYI I've been screenshotting the graphics to use as memes and educational purposes, very helpful and insightful and well spoken, I've enjoyed a lot of your content in the past few weeks, thank you

No such thing as "Abrahamic" when it comes to other Religions. Avraham did not practice or preach Avoda Zara and taught against them all.

Thank you for your excellent classes. I always learn something new and also share them with friends.

@EfraimPalvanov I love the quote at 51:25 from Muhammad Zahrab, but I can't find that scholar online. Is there another way his name might be spelled?

[raf_abreu]

Baruch HaShem for another great lecture !

[virimaichipere]

I disagree with you on this, Allah is is not HASHEM

What does the letters in Koran alif lam mim mean in Hebrew?

After the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem in 637 CE, the treatment of the holy land of Jerusalem varied depending on the specific historical period and the rulers in power. Here is a general overview:

Caliph Umar's Conquest: Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab, the second caliph of Islam, entered Jerusalem in 637 CE. He signed a peace treaty with the Christian inhabitants, guaranteeing their safety and the protection of their religious sites. The Christians were allowed to continue practicing their faith and were granted religious freedom.

Umayyad Dynasty: During the Umayyad period (661-750 CE), Jerusalem became an important center of Islamic administration and a site of religious significance. The Umayyad Caliphate built the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount, solidifying Jerusalem's status as a revered Islamic site.

Crusader Period: In 1099 CE, the Crusaders captured Jerusalem and established Christian rule. During this period, Muslim inhabitants faced oppression and restrictions on practicing their faith. However, Salahuddin Ayyubi, a Muslim military leader, successfully recaptured Jerusalem in 1187 CE.

Ottoman Rule: From the 16th century until the end of World War I, Jerusalem was under Ottoman rule. The Ottomans maintained the religious and cultural diversity of the city, allowing Muslims, Christians, and Jews to worship freely.

Overall, throughout different historical periods, Muslims generally respected the religious significance of Jerusalem, allowing for the protection and maintenance of religious sites for Muslims, Christians, and Jews. However, the specific treatment and policies toward the inhabitants and governance of Jerusalem varied depending on the ruling powers and historical circumstances.

I got chilling vibes when you express yourself so kindly. You are not aware of the danger lurking around the corner… 🇮🇱 forever ♾️.

I honestly think this Rabbi have a lot to learn about Islamic history. As a muslim, the islamic history i learned is very different from what this guy is saying, especially with regards to the wars Muslims fought during the life of propher Muhammad PBUH.

Great talk Rabbi Palvanov. While it’s true that many Yemenites pronounce gimmel as Jimmel, this is not the case with all Yemenite communities. For example Sharaab communities pronounce Gimmel as G. Its a common misconception, but not all Temani Jews pronounce it as Jimmel. But overall great shiur, its always a pleasure to hear your words of wisdom

Regarding the correct pronounciations of the letters in Hebrew, didn't you say (in the Basics of Kabbalah video) that the Dalet is supposed to sound like "Daleth"? Isn't the "th" two sounds, like "Ja" is? Just curious.

[alextrezvy]

Also, because of Quran. It was possible to stop 700+ years war between Roman Empire and Persia. Think about it, especially when someone tells you "Muhammad just wanted, just decided or just said" (to do "this" or "that").

[m.r.ansari]

Islam is the religion of all the prophets and messengers of Allah the Almighty.

[martingross]

You know what it's not being even discussed when iota is the fact that in the Quran it is Ishmael not Isaac that is brought to the altar and supposedly sacrificed and God stays the hand of Abram and gives him the RAM instead but again the key statement in the Quran is that it is Ishmael not Isaac on the altar to me that's a bastardization of the parent story you see to my understanding of chronology Juda Judaism became a codified religion with Moses over 4, 000 years ago Christianity began 2000 years ago Islam began $1, 400 years ago seems to me Christianity and Islam are the children of Jewish thought are the children of Judaism can't pay any other way so which version is truth The one 4, 000 years ago the parent or the bastardized child the Quran think about it

[._Palestine]

It was a war, do not be ignorant, read your own history, Rayhana was a martyr and the Sufia, Jews were praising him, his character and his divine message !

[aboody]

As a Muslim, I thought it would be very interesting to hear the Jewish point of view of Islam. I reached 27:00 and realized how off this guy has been. There were countable mistakes until then but when he got to the point of "Muhammad doing raids here and there and spreading islam by the sword" rhetoric, i was sad to hear all of this misinformation. The storyteller is either ingenuine or misinformed. During the life time of the prophet, 80 to 90 percent of his battles were defensive. He was the one getting attacked, and the attacks that happened from him were a counter attacks. You can research it up yourself instead of just blindly listening to someone that would benefit of making islam look bad. Also if you look throughout history, muslims were the ones protecting the jews, while the christians were prosecuting them.

23:25 If someone can actually cite this I’ll be amazed. Muhammad pbuh being saved from suicide by Gabriel is so twisted and not true.

Mughira ibn Shu’ba reported: When I came to Najran, the Christian monks asked me, “You recite the verse, ‘O sister of Aaron, ’ (19:28) but Moses was born long before Jesus by many years.” When I came back to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, I asked him about it and he said, “Verily, they used to name people with the names of prophets and righteous people who had passed before them.”

The Qur’an mentions Mary’s father as ‘Imraan (عِمْران). The Bible does not make any mention of who Mary’s father was.

Now pure speculation, if the letters were translated from Arabic to Hebrew, the name ‘Imran would become (עמראם or עמרם) [pronunciation is the same]. I’m listing both because in the Qur’an, the alif isn’t written but was implied, yet in modern Arabic writing it would be written. So in Hebrew, it could be either way. However, words like salaam (peace) (سلام) when translated into Hebrew becomes shalom (שׁלום) with the vowel alif (ا) in Arabic changing to a waw (ו) in Hebrew. In this case there would be a change in pronunciation from “‘Imraan” to “‘Imron” (עמרום).

The first letter is transliterated as an “I” because of the short vowel, but that is not always consistent and can be transliterated as an ‘Amron. Of course short vowels could have changed as well. For instance, Muhammad (محمد) in Arabic becomes Machamad (מחמד) in Hebrew. In any case, as mentioned before, her father’s name is not mentioned in the Bible, but these are possible ways it could appear in Hebrew.

Someone more familiar with Hebrew names may have a better answer as to what possibility it could be based upon this or perhaps there is something about words translating between Hebrew and Arabic that I overlooked that would give something else. For instance Enoch (חנוך) “Chanok” in Hebrew becomes Idris (إدْرِيس) in Arabic
