New Podcast Let Us Reason - A Christian/Muslim Dialogue

Rob Christian and Al Fadi say that Muslims brag that it is a miracle that Mohammad was illiterate; ie that he doesn't read or write.  But another meaning to illiterate is the one who came to a people without a book(The Arabs).  Sahih Bukhari #2125 says that Mohammad was a guardian to the illiterate.  Mohammad was not a name but a title (the praised one).  Mohammad real name at birth and until he was forty years of age was Qutham ibn Abed Al Laat, according to the book of" The life of Mohammad " by Muhammad Hasan Haykel ,page 39.  This is according to Muslim sources. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi asks Rob Christian two questions: 1. Did Mohammad go to Jerusalem to visit Al-Aqsa Mosque?( Was the real Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem?) The answer is no: A. Historically the mosque was build in 691 AD and Mohammad died in 632 AD. B. There was a mosque  called Al Aqsa close to Mecca that Mohammad visited. Sahih Bukhari #2850.       2. Where did Mohammad learn to clean himself?  He copied the Jews and it became Sunna tradition.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi discusses with Rob Christian the five disturbing names of Allah: 1. The Arrogant. 2. The Distresser. 3.  The Humiliator.  4.The deceiver. 5. The Mischief maker.  They conclude that Allah is Satan in disguise.  Al and Rob also discuss another subject in the second half of the show about Mohammad being an idol worshiper who kept idols in his house despite Gabriel warning to him to get rid of idols.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi interviews Brother Zia from Pakistan.  Zia was a very devout Suni Muslim.  He had a disabled son who passed away and he was going to burry him in a Christian cemetery, and the imam told him that Allah is going to punish him at the end time. That made Zia mad and dive in both the Quran and then the Bible to find answers.  He found that  the Quran tells that Jesus did things only God can do. The sermon on the mount had a big effect on him especially love your enemies.  Nabeel Qurashi, David Wood and Sam Shamoun had a big impact on him.  He believed and got baptized and he is witnessing to others.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

According to the Quran sura 65:4, men are allowed to marry young girls before they reach the age of puppetry.  They also allowed to divorce them and they(ladies) have to wait three months before they can remarry.  Mohammad Hijab ,a famous Muslim apologist says that if Muslims take the Quran only in this matter, the Quran allows for severe type of Pedophilia.  The prophet Mohammad says to wait a little bit, 6 year old to 9 year old, because it is harmful.  So Muslims take Mohammad's council over Allah in the Quran.  According to the Quran Sura 9:31 .If you listen to anyone instead of Allah you are worshipping that person; ie, Muslims worship Mohammad.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Al and David discussed last time that Aisha was 6 to 9 years old, based on Muslim sources, when she married Mohammad. In order to justify Mohammad's actions Muslims say that Mary was young too when she married Joseph.  There is no reliable source for the age of Mary, but in(Luke 1:42) the Bible says that she was a woman. And Quran chapter 3:42 says that Mary was a woman. The Bible also says that a twelve year old is still considered a child, little girl (Mark 5: 40-42). So Mary was older than 12 years old. So Mary was older than Aisha when she married Joseph. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guest speaker David Wood discusses with Al Fadi the age of Aisha when the prophet Muhammad married her . According to Islamic sources( Sahih Bukhari 51;33,58,Sahih Muslim 33;11) Muhammad married Aisha when she was six years old and consummated  the marriage when she was nine years old. This topic is hotly debated and is  bothersome to Muslims even if they don't admit it, some deny it, and others don't want to apologize for it because it is true.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi and Dr Jay Smith continue their discussion about the many projects that Jay has been involved in including the location of Mecca, the Aramaic origins of the Quran, the Zam Zam well, and what happened  between the years 622-749 AD of Islamic history.  Al encourages his listeners to support both his and Jay's channels through Patrion.  Jay emphasizes that he only accepts support from Christians, and goes on to say he is a third generation faith missionary. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jay says that the pandemic increased the number of people watching his u-tube videos about Islam.  He goes on to say that the goal is to historically critique the man, the book, and the place ( Mohammad, the Quran and Mecca) .  Jay is involved with other French, British, and German scholars who studied the same subject before him to learn from their findings.  The object is to sift the SIN to take what is coming out from the other end ( the Bible) and throw away what is left behind.  The goal is to simplify it to the average person to bring Muslims to Christ.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
