I born as a syrian muslim girl , I remember that I loved to read Quran when I was a child altough my family is not religious. I begin to know and understand about the meaning of life from Quran and knowing about Allah (God) when I be adult, and I remember when I heard this lecture for Jeffrey Lang, I cried and I realized that we should read between the lines carefully in Quran to understand Allah's message for us.
Paradise is a blessing from God.. Humans cannot appreciate this blessing.. except through tests.. I ask God to make us steadfast in Islam until we meet Him.
the blessing of a temporary life must be appreciated to experience the blessing of eternal life. the state of your heart in the dunya determines the state of your soul in the akhira.

I did.. I read quran bible and Veda.. Trust me.. If you get so detailed in bible and Veda it gives you feeling nonsensical and out logic even sometimes ridiculous.. Especially The Veda.. This books talk about God in a way that is so unholy and selfish... Quran is all make sense.
Quran talks about a god who's egomaniacal, selfish, who encourages pedophilic tendencies, coupled with a self-centered and power-tripping disposition. Is that God in your view? Vedas are much much deeper. This is coming from a follower of one the abrahamic faiths.

@@mahirs3134lol not related bahasa melayu mehhh
Yes flat earth in Quran 😂😂😂 Allah don't even know that earth is round (elliptical)😂. Read Quran with your mother tongue language and then if you are still in Islam, I will agree that earth is flat and the Sun sleeps in mud 🥶
Lol 😂😂 72 hoora after death is fact 😂
This guy is a genius philosopher or don't know what accurate term to describe him . Even as a born muslim never knew about Qur'an so deeply as this man describe 😮
One of the miracles of Islam is it will bring you proof until you will know in your heart that it is the truth
best description I've ever read
😂 Or else be prepared to loose your head because it will gonna cut off from rest of your body if you refuse to accept that you 100% believe A L L A & Q U R A N are ultimate truth. 😂
@@KnowledgeEnthusiast your handle totally shames you
Like they brought proof abt flat earth
I can't believe I watched the whole video...but the story of the beginning of creation is worth it, as it answers one of the greatest questions in existence.
This speech is so motivating, remember first time seeing it and I was in complete awe, even as a born Muslim, he pointed out things I hadn't thought of... a new perspective for sure and really inspired me to introspect more about Quran.
I never get tired of watching this talk by Dr Jefferey Lang. I learn something new or make a new connection everytime I listen. His journey to Islam is so inspiring.
Jeffry Lang is one off the most knowledgeable Quran translators
There is no God but allah❤
this was one of the most loved video by far , thank you guys
To comment on the last bit, he actually read the Bible and other scriptures and disected it word for word. Only Islam gave him all the answers
Cant wait for part 2 💕
He is so intelligent, he read and asked questions and finally got the answers to his questions that was a lifelong search and struggle. To find THE answers to all your questions is like seeing for the first time.. congrats brother, welcome to the religion of Peace..
Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever does not give up false statements (i.e. telling lies), and evil deeds, and speaking bad words to others, Allah is not in need of his (fasting) leaving his food and drink."
Sahih al-Bukhari 6057
Thanks for sharing
Jazakallahu ghair
Yes actually the strong independent human kind is the most loved one by God(Allah) but we should not forget that even when we are strong and independent we should remain our healthy relationship with God and be grateful since God(Allah) is the one who made us that way and helped us to get to that position and statement
I am a Muslim i always read the Quran i understand this verses but professor Lang explain them really good it felt like everything is making sense now
If he had not suffered in his childhood,he wouldn't have understood the Quran in that way.
No doubt Allah is the best planner.

The highest independence that a human being can attain is to believe in the one that is above all things, believing in the real god frees you from everything that is below.
وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ ۖ وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ ۚ قَوْلُهُ الْحَقُّ ۚ وَلَهُ الْمُلْكُ يَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ ۚ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ ۚ وَهُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْخَبِيرُ ﴿73﴾
Can’t wait for part 2
Regarding the last point, Dr. Jeffery didn't force himself to belive the scripture to be right. He read it thoughtfully and carefully and discovered that it's Right. So, when you read the other scriptures or philosophies, read it thoughtfully as you wish, and you will discover that it's Wrong. This is our standing as Muslims.
Dr. Jeffery even refered to the point that the Quran isn't hard to understand, which he means that you use simple and standard logic and you will discover that it is the Truth. While when you use simple standard logic with other scriptures or philosphies you find something wrong, and he give the example that eating from the wrong tree is by no means could be considered as the greatest sin, and another clear example we usually use is that God cannot be one and three at the same time or that God The Perfect would be merged in a human body or idol. No matter how thoughtfully and carefully you think, this cannot be right.
yeah , ofc they assume that we dont critic our scripture, Islam is all about asking questions , n being critical... but give them time... this stage of their journey sometimes take longer... , do not underestimate how strong the effect of secular education, they r been fed all their lives that all religions are false.. not based on proofs.. and to be hyper skeptical n not seek for the truth unless it is by scientist ... its a whole baggage ... so ofc they will add islam to the same category , specially when Islam is supposed to be the Protagonist of their bedtime story... the media and the lies have also something to do with this. but anyway, may Allah guide them, n guide whoever sincere
The worst thing that a father can do to his children is to abuse their mother in their presence!
The Qur’an is full of secrets. The more you read it and the more you understand it, you will discover new meanings. As for myself, whenever I listen to one of the commentators, I discover new things that I might have read and not stopped at much..
Indeed ❤️❤️
Wow. Amazing. The last statement you made there at the end was spot on. I subscribed!
Welcome aboard!
Thank you for reacting! This is a great video! Looking forward to part 2
Woow...what a professor
I so glad that this youtube channel brought us this knowledge 🙌
I am love it.
وَلَا تَيْأَسُوا مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّهِ ♥️
Do not despair of the MERCY of Allah, is the correct way of saying it 🙂
Islam is only for the intellect, not like math smart but logic smart. It's not for the lazy, it's a simple belief yet complicated for those who don't read and ask questions to understand.
reminder: consciousness:
-intellect (thinking)
-moral (choice)
-suffer (result)
Suffer is more akin to struggle, persevere. Perhaps.
@@sustainableliving6319 i just realized, yes it is, in fact its mentioned multiple times.
'seek knowledge, think, reason, choice, struggle, patient' then:
"For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease." Ash-Sharh 94:5-6 (Asy-Syarḥ/Al-Insyirah)
Ma-sha-Allah (As God wills). Great vid and its in ramadan too. Yaay!!
Love professor Lang
Your advice at the last minute of the video is gold, truly we should do everything the way Jeffery read his scripture
thats why we end up muslims
you are doing a good job. i love your reaction.
Thank you! 😃
Thank you for your reaction 💚 I love watching reactions to this particular lecture because I keep learning and discovering new understanding from it. With an open heart, I'm gonna say respectfully, that atheism is a form of arrogance. Evolution happens, but it is allowed, and therefore it evolves. Even if evrrything in this universe starts from "somewhere", that "somewhere" exists because God wills it. Human cannot choose to comprehend "somewhere" if the choice is not presented. That's also the reason why faith, is a choice. A blind one, but it is a choice that has to be made out of reason. So thank you for continuing to learn and reason, whoever knows where we all might be at the end 💚
From you two, I am even more convinced that "guidance" was truly sent down by Allah SWT according to His will. Many people are smart, but it is precisely because of their intelligence that prevents them from getting guidance, and for some others, their intelligence brings HIDAYAH and Truth into their lives.
We are happy to bring you closer
Surah 22 (al-Hajj) verse 46: Have they not travelled throughout the land so their hearts may reason, and their ears may listen? Indeed, it is not the eyes that are blind, but it is the hearts in the chests that grow blind.
Whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded tenfold. But whoever comes with a bad deed will be punished for only one. None will be wronged.
Translation of the Qur’an 6:160
Because this is refreshing I got to subscribe this channel 🎉
Beautiful❤
Looking forward to watch your reaction on next part
Thanks so much brothers for sharing
So, as for those who believed in Allah and held fast to Him, He will admit them to His Mercy and Grace (i.e. Paradise), and guide them to Himself by a Straight Path.
Holy Quran ❤
That video of jeff was amazing.. ive seen it before and i was happy to watch it again with you guys… i think you should pause it a little bit more and challenge the ideas he’s discussing.. or at least share your opinion of it
Very informative and interesting.
Great selection and reaction broski’s
Quran-e-Pak is the sea of deep knowledge, I also read 🙌❤️
46:15 Those words are mentioned in surah araaf 23, They said, "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers."
So, as for those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and did deeds of righteousness, He will give their (due) rewards, and more out of His Bounty. But as for those who refuse His worship and were proud, He will punish them with a painful torment. And they will not find for themselves besides Allah any protector or helper.
Holy Quran ❤
wounderful vedio
part 2 ASAP!
Finally you react to this 😂
I am pretty sure that you'll find a lot of answers for most of your previous questions, that you've asked when you react to some muslims videos
May God Guide you to the truth
Wait part 2 💚
Waiting for part 2
Pls make the second part ❤❤
A lot of change n wisdom coming from the gentleman with the cream shirt 👌🏽💯
Part 2 is even better
the good advice to you After watching that is . u should be Muslim if u wanna save yourself ❤
Masha Allah ❤️ may Allah bless you allways Aameen ❤️
Please part 2 ❤
Part 2 please. ❤
Wow impressive video
I think what made him read like that is the question that was in his mind before he read the Qur'an , so you aint gonna do that unless you already have questions which hunt you inside.
I watched the whole video, I found it interesting.
We have the independence to make choices but moral of the story is that we should make morally correct choices and the one who has decided what is correct is God who created you. So when you make these choices you know that there will be consequences, maybe not right away but someday, that’s what religion is about. And obviously having confidence that the religion you are in is right is important because only then will you be sure that you are not wasting your time and risking yourself
Great Video
The fact that the first surah that was revealed to Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was Surah Clot, and the first word that was revealed to earth from heaven was “Read.” amazing me.
The surah :
Read: In the Name of your Lord, who created.Created man from a clinging clot. Read: And your Lord is the Most Generous. He Who taught by the pen.Taught man what he never knew. In fact, the human being oversteps all bounds. When he considers himself exempt.But to your Lord is the return.
Have you seen him who prevents?
A servant when he prays?Do you think he is upon guidance?
Or advocates righteousness?
Did you see how he denied and turned away?
Does he not know that Allah sees?
No. If he does not desist, We will drag him by the forelock.
A lying, sinful forelock.
Forelock is where the part of the brain Responsible for lying! Imagine reading all this and still not believing in Allah.
I recommanded this video ❤ thank you guys for your care of the comments .
Guys you should react to Quran chapter 5 Surah Al-Maidah (The Table Spread) verses: 109-120 its about the conversation between Jesus and Allah. Tq.❤
Part 2 please good sir...
What a beautiful story of the beginning of human existence on earth! Even when Adam n Eve were expelled from Heaven, they were given a full assurance that God's guidance would accompany them as long as they would stick to them. Showsing how God is the most compassionate n the most merciful. So how could then some people have been talking about the original sin? Just don't get it.
yea in Islam, we dont believe in the original sin, we believe we are born sinless.
also we dont believe that Eve (pbuh) , seduced adam (pbuh), we believe that it was both their choice
and these two differences make a huge theological difference , its affects literally everything...
Also in Islam Allah just forgive if he wants to... as simple as that, in christianity cz of the original sin, jesus (pbuh) had to die for everyones sin..
Also ofc the major two differences is that Jesus (pbuh) in Islam is a major prophet sent by GOD, but in christianity he is GOD (thats a church thing, not the bible)
n ofc Islam is a radical monoteistic religion, ONE GOD, perfect, no son, no father, not born.. eternal, no beginning.., very very strict monoteism, in christianity they have the concept of trinity ... (which also a church thing, didnt find it in the bible)
these are the brief differences between islam n christianity
Great day 🎉
WAITING FOR PARTS 2 🙃
Simple .. Logic ...comforting ..♥
Part 2 pleaseee,,
Whether there is an evolutionary process or not.. the fact that humans have such INHERENT capability is the fundamental question... Also, why are human beings the ONLY species to possess this intellectual ability.. Apes and other species have existed for millions of years longer and have yet to discover fire... while humans went from the cave to space travel within a matter of thousands of years
if humans were part of an evolutionary tree then we should have witnessed by now some even a MINUTE steps of progress made by other species... Give monkeys a billion years and Ink and they won't be able to use it let alone write Shakespeare
We want you to try a fasting day and make vlog for us We support you brothers from Tunisia 🇹🇳

If they want to
I Love your Channel ❤❤

Life beyond death is indeed beautiful in islam...monothiesm.
Part 2 please
Allah is the only author of holy quran. He said-- "I have written this holy book and I will preserved it."
Post part two please
53:10:
Not every book is worth examining in such detail.
But what we are talking about here is existential.
The search for the absolute truth, what your inner peace depends on, and more importantly, whether you will go to eternal hell or heaven in the afterlife.
Therefore, it is particularly important to occupy yourself with the Word of Allah...
47:14
You brothers have been guided to this. I pray that you ponder that, and that you recognize and acknowledge it for your own sakes.
Go on
Plz do part 2
hello guys love from iraq❤
how about a reaction video to ahmed deedat debates there are many in CZcams.
This is fun 😆
Who wants TRUTH shall get it, but be sencere. You have to put you're ego away and desire. Put you're head on the ground and ask The CREATOR of the Universe from the bottom of you're heart and from the deepest of you're soul for guidance.
❤
nice cup
Thank you! Cheers!
Your beard is beautiful, my friends
مَن جَآءَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُۥ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا ۖ وَمَن جَآءَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجْزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثْلَهَا وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
Qur’an 6:160
Don’t forget to react to surah Maryam
As somebody who has been raised in muslim family. I dont remember of having that kind of question.
The earliest thing i could remember was: when the non muslims asked that question, and they got various answers.
Then i got the answer from islam. My mind just agreed with it. Cuz, it just makes sense after comparing it to the answers from non muslims.
I mean, i dont agree just because i got the islamic answer. But i have compared it with the non islamic answers.
So, in away, listening to outsider answer is actually exercising our own belief.
If you are lucky (and sincere), it would rather gain your belief. Otherwise, thats how some people got into deconstruction process.
Oh, i think bravery is rather implementing change. Not just accepting.
Like, i dont mind with the usage of a.i nowadays. But, will i use it for the greater good of my own?
Also, i think every lawyer should have done that. Reading the lines, even between the lines.
Otherwise, a smarter guy with bad intention would take the advantage of agreement you have signed :O
World is a test for us
😊
Mash'Allah! 🇵🇸 Free Palestine 🇵🇸
every choice have a reason factor behind that choice either we aware of it or not.. and that reason we can reveal or conceal..
