00:00I'm interested to know you know. It's very interesting because Jesus is the Gospels like the Quran and Acts the rest of the New Testament is like the Hadith.
00:12Why? I understand that. You must understand that. I understand that but I don't know who made that. The Hadith is a commentary on the Quran isn't it?
00:19I understand but I'm asking the question how did you make that separation? Like for example do you know why we separate between the Hadith and the Quran?
00:26Because Quran is what was revealed to Muhammad and the Hadith is the commentary on what was revealed to Muhammad.
00:32No, no, no. That's not correct. The reason we do that is what? It's because the Quran
00:39Because the Quran is literal revelation from Allah. It's literal words verbatim. The Hadith is the inspired revelation by the words of Prophet Muhammad.
00:49So the separation is what? The Quran is the literal verbatim words of Allah. We believe Allah spoke these words literally.
00:55The Hadith is revelation given to us by the words of the Prophet himself. Do you understand the difference?
01:02Like for example, I'll explain. Like you have the words of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. You believe they are inspired.
01:08Yes. But you believe is the word of Matthew, the words of John and the words of Luke.
01:11We believe the Quran is not the word of Prophet Muhammad. It's literally the word of Allah.
01:15But how did it come to earth? It came through Angel Gabriel as an intermediate given to him.
01:20But it doesn't make it his words. For example, if I say give me 10 pounds, you go to your friend and you say Muhammad said give me 10 pounds.
01:26Still my words. You're just delivering them. But the difference is that the Gospel is literally the words of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John.
01:33It's their words. They made up this word revealing. That's the difference between Hadith and the Quran.
01:37Yeah. So that's why I said it's not the same.
01:39Explain to me then. The Quran is what came to Muhammad who told people to write it down and they wrote it because he couldn't write.
01:46The Quran. The Quran came to us in two ways. Yeah.
01:50The Prophet when he received the Quran, he recited it. The companions did two things.
01:56They memorized it and they wrote it down. So they didn't do one. They did both.
02:01They memorized it. The Arabs did not rely on writing that much. They were people of memory.
02:06So he came from Muhammad to others.
02:08Yes, yes, yes.
02:09He didn't write it down himself because he couldn't write.
02:11No, no, no. He didn't.
02:12He couldn't write.
02:13Yeah, yeah. Everyone believes it. We all believe that. Every Muslim believes that.
02:16Believe the companions wrote it down.
02:17But the difference is this. It was written down at the time.
02:20We have the names of the people who wrote it. We have their biographies.
02:24We know every detail about them. We know sometimes even how many white hairs they had in Derbeer, you know?
02:30To that extent, to that limit. But if you compare that with the Gospel, it's a completely different story.
02:35You have...
02:36I know, I know.
02:37Okay, so you know. You know it's 400 years later.
02:39Not a hundred years later.
02:40No, no. 400 years later.
02:42The New Testament that you have is the Codic Sinaiticus.
02:45That's the oldest full manuscript that you have of the Bible.
02:47Full manuscript?
02:48Yes, that's what I'm saying. It's 357.
02:50From the first century you have...
02:51That's not when it was written down. Was that something that was written down?
02:53Back in the 50s or 80s?
02:54No, no. That's the claim.
02:56But the point is, you have nothing from that time.
02:58Why do you have...
03:00Dead Sea Scrolls?
03:01Dead Sea Scrolls is before Jesus.
03:03The Old Testament.
03:05Dead Sea Scrolls is the oldest full.
03:06No, Codic Sinaiticus is the oldest manuscript you have of the Bible.
03:15Now, you have fragments. You have fragments. Zero from the first century.
03:19Second century, you have one thing called P52. It's as big as a card like this. Yeah? Right?
03:24Now, that's the 2nd century. So, you have 200.
03:27Now, the late 2nd century and the 3rd century, you have some manuscript.
03:32But you never have the full Bible except the Codic Sinaiticus is 357 or something.
03:37Nearly 400 years after Jesus.
03:39The difference is, if we had that, we would reject it.
03:43Because that's way later, written by unknown people.
03:46You just have the first names. You have no information about them.
03:49On what basis would I accept that these people are actually saying the revelation of God?
03:54That's fair enough. So, why do you believe Jesus is a prophet then?
03:57I believe, I believe Jesus is a prophet.
03:59How did Mohammed know that?
04:00Do you want me to answer?
04:01Do you want me to answer?
04:02Do you want me to answer or you want to answer with me?
04:04No, I'll tell you.
04:05I'm going to go because it's 7 o'clock.
04:06Yeah, sure, sure. But I'll answer you.
04:07I would love to...
04:08You said you're a pastor or you're what, sorry?
04:10I'm a pastor.
04:11You're a pastor.
04:12They would ask me questions.
04:13Yes.
04:14That would challenge me, which is good for me.
04:16Yeah, yeah. I still haven't challenged you. There's just 2 minutes.
04:18No, I know everything you've said.
04:20I don't think you do.
04:21There are fragments that go back further.
04:22Yes.
04:23And I will check that out.
04:24There are fragments, I agree.
04:25That's a check.
04:26But there is no manuscript of the Bible before.
04:27No, there's no manuscript. No, I agree.
04:28Yeah.
04:29So, if we, specifically the Gospels...
04:31Tell me why the Qibla faces towards Petra in the first 100 years.
04:35It never did.
04:36It did.
04:37Check that out.
04:38Before you go, run away, before you run away.
04:40You're running away.
04:41Sorry.
04:42I'llitations.
04:43Bye.
