Thanks Rabbi, one thing worth mentioning that muslims never claim that jews copied from muslims. Muslims acknowledge Moses and he is regarded as one of the major 5 prophets in the world.
Allah wants to make clear to you [the lawful from the unlawful] and guide you to the [good] practices of those before you and to accept your repentance. And Allah is Knowing and Wise [Quran 4:26].
When "Jews" managed to kill many prophets, they accused them all of "copy"... nothing new here. But it is nothing but the same continuous message from the same God, therefore expect many similarities. What would be odd is if the message is claimed to be from the same God, yet the message is different totally.
The criteria with which you accept your prophets if applied to Mohammed, then you would accept him as well. The truth is you desire to disbelieve out of envy and ironic racism (Isrealites are not Euros , lmao)😂
@@ebcsecurity9490he said many things honest about islam
but in total he s not honest
he just by his own desires doesnt want to accept muhammed peace be upon him because he is bot from the sons of isaac👈
@ebcsecurity9490 you're being racist yourself.
I am Muslim. Its an enlightening sharing. Thanks
Just a note, I never heard any Muslim scholar who claim Judaism copy Islam.
Rather we claim the root is from the same God, thus we found same tradition found in Old Testament and Quran.
There’s a pattern in the comments all the Muslims reacted the same as you did to that part. Never in my life heard a Muslim say Jews copied Islam I was so baffled hearing that & then listening to him refute something not even said lol
Sorry, but this Allah is not the God of the Bible!

WRONG.
Jews and mohammadians do not have same God.
HEBREWS are choosen by gods not mohammadians. Not to explain difference in teachings and ethics.
Islam is copy-paste with bad, bad arab translation from old and new testament.
I read many comments and I'm pleased that our fellow brothers in Islam are aware of their religion and able to defend it.
Second, as a Muslim it was enough for me to read and memorise Surat al baqara by heart and with deep reflection I understood the struggle of prophet Mussa peace be upon him with his people, their mentality and how us Muslims should deal with them. How Allah described them are final statements. Full stop
Well said sister... If these ppl didn't value their main prophet Musa As n went against him in his lifetime.. Then wat can we expect from them now
I just want to say that as a Muslim I haven't seen any muslim scholars who claims Jewish practices are copied from Islam. (19:00-20:00)
because our religion is 3000 years older than islam))
@@davidmanheim266 yes, i agree. But that would make the rabbi's argument a straw man fallacy. I mean there have been a lot of things in this video that the rabbi said that were incorrect or absolutely wrong. For example, Jihad is definitely not a pillar of Islam in Shia Islam. Most attacks in the name of Jihad are being performed by "Sunni" extremists like ISIS, Al Qaeda, and Boko Haram. I thinkin this case he is referring tho to Hamaz wich is in opposition to the state of Israel. But Hamas is fighting a geopolitical war, not an islamic jihad. There is no major shia scholar (Grand Ayatollah) that has declared jihad a pillar of Islam. And this is just one example. So as demonstrated not everything the Rabbi said is 100% correct and representative of Shia or Sunni Islam and it should be taken with a grain of salt.
Sadly I heard it often in my city from Muslim people.
Maybe it depends what kind of Mosque you are visiting. We have a lot radical Muslims who are hating Jews to the core.
@@Phasael Radicals in any religion hate the other side..Radicals need to be excluded and not used to generalise with
@@hassimhassim3611 Dont take it personal, but many Muslim that I met in Germany (over 90%) hates Jews and saying it is commanded in the Quran to do it so. Many of them are not so religious and saying that stuff and very religious people are more hostile.
So it has a lot to do with a hostile culture and teachings against the Jews inside the religious community. The Imams failed to educate their own followers. In the European Muslim community over 60% having antisemitic views about Jews. Its sadly a fact.
Antisemitic attitudes in many Muslim-majority countries are high, including in
those countries where the majority of European Muslims, or their parents, origi-
nate. Indeed, a 2014 Anti-Defamation League (ADL) survey revealed that 74
percent of the population in Middle Eastern and North African countries agreed
with at least six out of eleven antisemitic statements. The numbers rose to 87 per-
cent in Algeria, 75 percent in Egypt, 92 percent in Iraq, 81 percent in Jordan, 87
percent in Libya, 80 percent in Morocco, 74 percent in Saudi Arabia, 86 percent in
Tunisia, and 69 percent in Turkey.2 The Pew Global Attitudes Project, using a sim-
pler questionnaire, yielded similar results and included Pakistan and Indonesia.
The only representative comparative survey of different European countries
that distinguishes between Muslims and non-Muslims was conducted by the
Pew Global Attitudes Project in April 2006.5 Unfortunately, only a single ques-
tion was used to measure antisemitic attitudes.6 The study showed that Muslims
in France, Germany, and Spain were twice as likely as non-Muslims to harbor
negative views of Jews. The factor was almost seven for Great Britain. The dif-
ference is even greater concerning “very unfavorable” views of Jews. In 2006,
Muslims were three to ten times more likely to harbor “very unfavorable” views
of Jews than did non-Muslims in France, Germany, and Great Britain. The factor
was slightly lower in Spain, where negative views of Jews were by far the highest
among both Muslims (60 percent) and the general population (39 percent). Other
surveys confirm particularly high levels of antisemitic attitudes in Spain in the
general population.

Thanks a lot, Rabbi Taylor, for providing this venue for learning the views of Judaism on Islam. I would like to rebuttal some points that you raised about Islam, Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him, and The Noble Quran.
Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him never advocated converting people to Islam by force. In The Noble Quran, Allah decrees: "There is no compulsion in religion", which is an important rule in Islam.
The five daily prayers order was given by Allah to Prophet Muhammad, and has nothing to do with emulating Judaism. Hajj has been performed since the time of Prophet Ibrahim Peace Be Upon Him.
Aashoraa is observed by Muslims to celebrate the escape of Prophet Moses Peace Be Upon Him, and his people from Egypt. Aashoraa is the tenth day of the Islamic Hijri calendar. Most importantly, Aashoraa is a voluntary fast; one of many throughout the year, and does not replace the obligatory fasting of Ramadhan.
As for the stories of the prophets and messengers of Allah, no Islamic scholars ever claimed that Judaism took these stories from The Quran. In fact, despite the general similarity of the stories of the prophet and messengers in both faiths, they are viewed with a different lens in Islam. In Islam, the prophets and messengers of Allah [Adam, Noah, Ibrahim, Isaac, Ismail, Jacob, Joseph, etc.] are highly respected and viewed as humans to whom imperfections, immorality, and lust cannot be attributed. I would recommend reviewing the stories of, say, Prophets Joseph, Lut, David, Soliman, or Moses Peace Be Upon Them in The Noble Quran.
Muslims do not worship Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him [if "glorifying him at mosques" means worshipping him], or disrespect The Torah. We disagree with the parts of The Torah and The New Testament that oppose the Islamic views on Allah, His prophets, and the fundamental teachings of Islam, but believing in the previous Words of Allah are one of the Fundamentals of the Islamic faith.
I would recommend reading about Prophet Muhammad and his teachings from neutral sources. One author that comes to mind is the self-described "agnostic Jewish" author Lesley Hazleton. I recommend her book "The First Muslim", or this short talk as a starting point to learn more about Islam and its great prophet: czcams.com/video/9aC7bUTBKv0/video.html
I also would strongly recommend this conversation between a Rabbi, a Catholic priest, and a Muslim scholar: czcams.com/video/INIG636SnU4/video.html
Thanks, and Assalamu Alaikum [Peace Onto You]
Thats excatly What i would recommend

@@munaabdiisaaqadan4228 Thanks. I think that approaching a topic without preconceived biases is the best way to learn about that topic. I appreciate this lecture as a way to teach Muslims about how Islam is viewed by some Jewish scholars.
The ongoing disinformation campaign about Islam in the media does not help, but the immense variety of information sources mitigate that to a great extent for those who truly want to learn. I also think that inter-faith conversations [and not debates] are great opportunities for education and connection.
Islam can be summed up in one statement: A continuous unprovoked attack on all faiths and all people from start to end. There is no single statement about love or tolerance in Islamic books. "Innama Almushrikoona Najas" - those who associate partners with God are dirty people. "Do not take Jews and Chrristians as friends and allies.. " "Fight those infidels who are nearest to you..." Islam makes all people "mushrikoon" whether they like it or not, including Jews. It says that Jews believe that "Uzair (or Ezra) is the son of Allah" something that never happened. Islam's worst enemies seem to be Christistians because allegedly worship 3 Gods. Yet it never mentioned Hindues who worship hundreds of Gods." Islam is Hatred.
@@delkott I appreciate your attempt. I am not against any person because of their religion. But I have been reading Islam books for decades and cannot be duped easily. It is always about context, context context .. Friend, this does not work. Don't waste your time with me because I know Islam inside out...
Let me make some clarifications here.
1. We pray 5 times a day which was given as gift from god. We dont see any where this as a competition between us and jews. Our prayers has nothing to do with Jews.
2. We as Muslims never claimed that jews copied their bible from Qur'an. Infact Quran itself address Jews as people of book and address them and makes a reminder for them how God glorified them and how they were disobedient towards god in return.
That true.. proud being a Muslim.. n so proud prophet Muhammad pbuh as a god messenger
Where in the koran does it give a number on prayer 🙏. It does not. Christians pray all day long. Even in sleep.

1. There is no number nowhere which says how many times aday.
2. That statement is crazy, has Islam only came into being, 700 AD, before that you was praying to a moon god. And what's the point in praying in Arabic, when you don't understand it.
Listening to this with the little misrepresentation he had strengthen my faith, Alhamdulellah for being a Muslim
12:20 I disagree Muslims have not chosen to pray 5 times a day in order to compete with Jews. Muslims were actually supposed to pray 50 times a day but Prophet Musa advised Prophet Muhammad to ask Allaah to reduce it because people won't be able to do it.
Anas bin Malik and Ibn Hazm said:
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, enjoined fifty prayers upon my Ummah, and I came back with that until I passed by Musa, peace be upon him, who said: 'What has your Lord enjoined upon your Ummah?' I said: 'He has enjoined fifty prayers on them.' Musa said to me: 'Go back to your Lord, the Mighty and Sublime, for your Ummah will not be able to do that.' So I went back to my Lord, the Mighty and Sublime, and He reduced a portion of it. Then I came back to Musa and told him, and he said: 'Go back to you Lord, for your Ummah will not be able to do that.' So I went back to my Lord, the Mighty and Sublime, and He said: 'They are five (prayers) but they are fifty (in reward), and the Word that comes from Me cannot be changed.' [1] I came back to Musa and he said: 'Go back to your Lord.' I said: 'I feel too shy before my Lord, the Mighty and Sublime.'"
[1]See Surah Qaf 50:29. Sunan an-Nasa'i 449
You are right100%
This is true, but as Muslims we also believe prophet Muhammad told us “if the Jews fast one day then fast two in return” as an example to the ummah that we as Muslims shouldn’t be second best in worship to Allah
So Allaah did not know that 50 times was too much until a man intervened and begged for reduction? Common now
@@jasonbwaljones How could you say Allaah did not know? Allaah knows everything.
@@BoramaWarrior so why were men changing his decisions back and forth? And why was he so in need of worship and attention as if he couldn’t live without it?
Just as I wouldn't go to a chef if I have a medical condition, I would advise everyone to listen to this intelligent man with a grain of salt. To understand the teaching of Islam, it's better to open up the Quran and read the translation. And read the biography of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. That provides us a complete picture of Islam.
If you are here to learn about islam, then I believe you are here for the wrong reasons. I want to learn about the Jewish sentiment on islam, in order to know better about jewish faith, and how followers of this faith might perceive islamic teachings.
Well said💯👏. And thats EXACTLY what led me to become an EX muslim😁. When one actually studies his/her religion(especially of the abrahamic lineage)instead of just being born into it and following it blindly 9 out of 10 times they will leave that 🗑💯🙏

So by your own bias, this man must not be trusted.

Muslims don't claim jews took fasting from us. This is a sign of major ignorance in Islam.
He made some straw man fallacies tho, I don't see any muslims saying that Torah was taking from Quran !!! Every muslim believe and knows that Torah revealed to Moses (peace be upon him)
i stopped watching this video when he made that fallacy
Good speech.
It was mentioned that muslim claim that Jews took stories from Quran. As a Learned muslim, I can say that I never read or heard a muslim saying that
Stories in Jewish and muslim holy scriptures look generally similar, but the details are often different. Basically, the Prophets in Quran are far better persons compared to the new and old testament
The prophets are are sent by God to be an example for the people to follow so of course they're the best people. That's one of the many proofs that Islam claim that the people of the book changed their scriptures with their own hands is true.
@@curiousmind_ Yes. Some of the things said about the prophets in the Old and New Testament is really odd. Like Lot sleeping with his daughters or David sending a soldier to his death to have his wife, among other things. Unbefitting of prophets of God.
I thought the only additional prophet in Islam is Mohammed so not sure it’s correct to claim that the prophets in the Quran were better. By the way, Lot and David were not prophets, one of the key prophets in David‘s time was Samuel and Lot’s claim to fame was because he was Abraham‘s nephew but also to illustrate God’s wrath and punishment of wrongdoing (aka Sodom and Gommorah). It was also to slander the descendants of the alleged illicit relationship with his daughters. By the way, the story was his daughters got him drunk so they could continue the bloodline because all the men around had been wiped out (Sodom and Gommorah). PS: I’m an atheist but religious stories have interested me for so long that in many cases I know far more than some so called believers
@@kmj1976 How can't you even know your religion?
"29Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne." Acts 29-30
David PBUH is a prophet.
I don't need to mention Lot PBUH, because I made my point. Anyway, you'll find him in the apocrypha and the old fathers writings. Oh, sorry I just realized that you didn't read your modern bible. Just pass, don't search. Your cool.
@@abdalrahmanmohammed4424 not sure you read my whole post but I clearly stated that I’m an atheist I.e. not religious. That said, while David allegedly received inspiration from God, he was not a prophet in the classical sense otherwise just about everyone in those days, including Pharoah could be called a prophet

19:58 No Muslim on the face of the Earth ever claimed that Jewish practiced copied from Islam neither they claim that Islamic practices copied from Judaism, they claim Islam is the fulfilment of God's way & the Prophet Muhammad ( pbuh) is the last & final messenger of God.
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him didn't replace Aashora for Ramadan, Aashora is still fasted by Muslims as the prophet said "We Muslims are most worthy of [celebrating Moses Peace be Upon him] Moses than Israelites", Ramadan is a mandatory fast mentioned in the Quran, while Aashora fasting isn't but desirable due to the abovementioned saying of our prophet.
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, came to Medina and found the Jews fasting on the day of Ashura, so they were asked about that. They said: This is the day on which God made Moses and the Children of Israel victorious over Pharaoh, and we are fasting on it to glorify him. Then, the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: We are closer to Musa than you, so he commanded that we fast.
The full text for your reference.
So before Ramadan was mandated in the Quran, Ashura fasting was mandatory. Then it became desirable after Ramadan. There was no replacement whatsoever by the prophet, peace be upon him, himself. Allah himself mandated Ramadan, and then the prophet left Ashura as optional, and Muslims used to and still fast it till this day.
well said,and corrected this young man.
He meant that it was replaced as a (mandatory) practice (واجبات) as opposed to a (desirable) practice (مستحبّات). In a 40 minute lecture he is not going to explain all the little minutae of fasting. This is an overview and he did pretty well in my opinion.
"We Muslims are most worthy of [celebrating Moses Peace be Upon him] Moses than Israelites"
Sounds extremely supremacist
@@Remake5182 For sake of God it's fine.
who worship God more is more closer to God.
think about it as competition in worship, if you don't care about God, we do we pray we fast we sacrifice our desires for the sake of our Creator.
19:46 No Muslim claims that all the things he mentioned were taken by Jews from the Muslims. I don't know where he got that from.
Yes, that’s a clear straw man
Yeah I agree, it's really weird he said that.
Infact we say, All 4 books are the words of God. Torah, Zubur, Bible & Quran. Same message, different times!
He said it is only a conjecture, friends
Did you know that muhammed tried to commit suicide twice?
That was so well done, and respectfully so. Thank you, good Rabbi Taylor.
For people who wanna know do not ask . Just read Torah, bible and the Quran. And you will definitely know the truth. Very simple.
As a Muslim that was a really good explanation, one main thing to note however is that we as Muslims at least in the majority do not claim that Jews or Christians copied from Muslims
how could they copy..judaism is older..
I mean Islam Is the last Abrahamic faith lol
Christians say we copied them but they copied and corrupted Jewish scripture and we Muslims came to correct both with a final revelation
There’s a pattern in the comments of this vid, all the Muslims reacted the same as you did to that part. Never in my life heard a Muslim say Jews copied Islam I was so baffled hearing that & then listening to him refute something not even said lol so weird
I think we should take this video as view of Jewish on Islam not necessarily what Islam is. He is very respectful as compared to other content on internet. There are things he well described especially similarities between two religions.
Similarly other content in the net. Make areal study
Yeah but whole bunch of lies when did we choose to pray 5 times a day ? To sup-purse the Jews
Dear Rabbi .. you know so much about Islam.. May Allah guide you and find the path which is ultimately true❤
He has a lot inaccuracies though. Example jihad isn’t a pilar of Islam. Muslims don’t pray 5 times a day to copy jews. The last point is a theme that leaks from him a lot during the talk, it’s like he leaks in his distortions abt Islam & Muslims that uplift him.
Over all he did better than most. However I would t give him a blanket praise because that implies everything he said is spot on & 100%
Just May Elohim guide him
One thing about Fasting Ashoora is that it is not mandatory but Ramadan is mandatory for anyone who is adult and has not health restrictions. Also, We fast the 9th and 10th Day of the month Muharram or the 10th and 11th. There are also a they elective fasting days throughout the year, such as Mondays and Thursdays, the first 9 days of Zul-hija month, and others.
Also it’s worth mentioning that Ashoora fasting was not the first time the Muslims fasted. Ashoora was towards the end of Prophet’s life time.
Also, Muslims didn't copy Jews or Christians, The gospel, Torah and the Quran are all Allah's books and words. So, no wonder we have similarities. We Muslims believe in Moses, Jesus and Muhammad and all the prophets and messengers before them.
And no better words than Allah's words as he said in the Quran "He has sent down upon you, [O Muḥammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel"
Did Abraham follow Isaac or Ishmael? That’s a glaring difference. That is an outright contradiction. Is God a liar?
Show me archaeological evidence for Mecca being built before Muhammad. That’s a pretty big problem.
@@johnseimon4183 ‘the gospel and the Torah are Allahs words’
‘Torah says x happened Quran says y happened therefore contradiction’
Yeah this is a slight language/understanding barrier, the same way a Muslim and a Christian look at the word ‘confession’ in different ways
The gospel ( as per Quran/Muslims) would be the verbatim revelation bestowed to Jesus (like Muhammad getting the Quran)
As opposed to the testaments of mark, John , Peter etc, ie the bible
So when a Muslim says, the injeel/Göspel is the word of god, he’s talking about those words uttered by Jesus
So far as Allah defines it within the Quran.
I don’t know much about Old Testament origins and such il level with you.. but I seriously doubt you still have the legit divine utterances of Moses word for word with perfect language preservation also etc
These events are just way too back in the past to have that sort of confidence.

You will find similarity among these three religions because all of them Came from only one God (Allah). But one came after another as an Update to previous religions because people got distracted and changed their religious views according to their favour.

Put this aside, explain to me the hitting of women Aya, or maybe how it was so important for us to know that Mo married Zainab and with that adoption was forbidden, but not important for him to forbid slavery
My friend ask people to join Islam by the regular way of just saying shahada and the promise of food, alcohol and women in the afterlife, not by reading the quran as that has been the cause of so many leaving it, they are even calling it the pandemic of atheism in the middle east, check it out!
@@hocuspocus123 Can you define slavery? Cause even today, slavery exists everywhere in different names. By the way At that time slavery was a common thing but Mohammad forbade his followers to abuse slaves and insisted to show respect to slaves.Also freeing a slave gives you reward , it is counted as Zakat. Thus Islam encouraged to free the slaves.
@Breezy 🤣🤣🤣🤣, ok then.
Cherry picking what you wanted to answer should have worked in your favor, but alas, it didn't..
Only the relgious will go through hoops and the trapeze of mental gymnastics trying to justify the atro cities in their relgion.

Justifying slavery as it was practiced then, really??

A correction: the fasting of the tenth day is a voluntary one and still widely practiced by Muslims with the addition of one day. Whereas, the 30 days fasting of Ramadhan is an obligatory fasting and it was already practiced in Mecca before Muhammad. He just followed it. There are many other voluntary fasting days in Islam including two days every week.
@Saeed P how on the earth abraham and moses became muslims? why?? because the meaning of the word muslim means follow god laws? it easy for you to claim to claim those words, you guys are playing word games here . abraham is a jew, he is the father of the ancient jewish people and he is the 1st prophet. adam and eve is not a prophet they are the first creation of god. quran just copied and borrowed mostly from the torah and yet you muslims claim that it came from god. i'm a christian but if theres no christianity in the world i would choose to be a jew rather than islam. your prophet muhamad murder thousands of jew. its written also in your quran "kill jews and christian".

Great video, one small correction. Muslims reasoning isn’t just because it was well written. It’s also preserved, memorized, and has a few foreshadowing events that we are experiencing today.
Lack of research at some points,
1. Islam doesn't reject Original Torah even the Bible & Zubur (It's even mandatory to Muslims to accept that those books are from One God), you can say the Quran is the final version of all 4 scriptures of God.
2. Islam doesn't say Jews copied from Islam, how even it's possible Judaism was way years before than Islam. We believe the Torah & Bible are not in the original version they were revealed in.

Dear Rabbi Taylor!
Really loved the speech!
However, Muslims do not claim that Torah is not legit or that it was derived or taken from Quran!
Actually, Torah is mentioned in Quran as a messages from God!
Also, believing that Torah is God’s word is a must in Islam religion.
Thanks so much!!
They will not mention that, they are afraid that Islam will speak to some listener's heart. sSo what they do, they bring nonsense such as - "Muslims believe that Tora was taken from Quran " when we never claimed that. Make nonsense to make Islam look bad
@@passerby4876 they may not claim exactly that, I myself spoke with a Muslim taxi driver that said to me a Jew as if it was a fact that Abraham took Yishmael to sacrifice and not Isaac. Now the Torah that has been written for and circulating for thousands of years before Islam, so how can this taxi driver believe such a ridiculous statement implying that for thousands of years the Jewish people falsified the Bible, and when Islam comes thousands of years later the expose the lie. Would you believe such a ridiculous story?

@@tiferetyisrael1840 in genesis clearly says sacrifice your only son
the only time abraham had only one son is when hajar give him ishmael before birth of isaac
@@gamalsaad1545 that is a good answer, based on the language, but that would mean that the Binding of ? whoever it was took place before Isaac was born, clearly Isaac was already born from the verses themselves and the time line of the stories in the Bible, but yes, the wording could be understood that way, but it can also be understood as the only son that would carry on the covenant. This approach is supported by the Bible and historians, including Muslim leaders, since even according to the Muslim faith, things only shifted away from the Jewish people, long after the common era.
I respect and appreciate you attempt at presenting an answer to my question, but I feel my answers negate the answer. What do you think my friend,?
Thanks, Rabbi Pinchas Taylor for your friendly and interesting speech. You did refer to other Rabbis' opinions about Islam, and I wonder if you read the Quran ( the hole book)?
I listened to his speech until the end and I'm pretty sure he didn't read the Quran because there are a lot of mistakes in what's he says !
As a Muslim I just want to say that I love to listen to any rabbi wisdom and it's always soothing to the heart in a way no modern imam ever made me feel. One of my favorite is Rabbi Friedman.
Check your iman may be weak
@defensegeneral9893 muslims nowadays are only muslims by name. IF u have such strong Iman why don't u go do djhihad ?
@user-mc8bb6zo3q glory to the rightous jews of bani Israel 🇮🇱. GLORY to our forefathers Avraham , Yaakov, Isaac, and ishmael
I wish that all human beings could live together in peace and harmony for a little time we each have as life.
I am a Muslim and when I see Jews having same believes as I do, I feel my heart more attracting toward them rather then going into a discussion of who is original and who is a copy.
I wish a world full of love and compassion for each other rather then wars and fights.
May God bless all
Peace can exist after you reform your religion, as happened to other religions. Or get it out of public life. But since Islam is considered a political ideology by most Muslims, it is hard to have peace
@@networkadmin4076 Islam doesn’t need to be reformed.
It is already perfect.
@@0Moh Yes, it has perfected the art of killing and hatred
@@networkadmin4076 I have a good insight into history and politics. The early aggression of Islam toward other states was part of defensive strategy as at that time all empires were trying to extend and it was common to attack other areas to extend the states. Common in Roman, Persian or other states whoever get chance. If muslims would not fight for extension that time, they would have been extinct by the hands of other states.
BUT, I don’t think in modern world when countries have established boundaries, any Muslim state would dare to attack any other state. It’s also not possible after establishment of UN. In fact, after 16th century, only countries showed aggression toward other areas are the western world.
So what’s the problem, if a Muslim state want to run there own country by there own laws. We should just leave everyone alone in there state matters and have good relations with each other and lives happily.
I don’t think that Christian or Jews should be thinking now that if muslims get chance, they will show aggression again. I think time is changed and it not gonna happen again. Same as no one gonna built and extend a Roman Empire, no Mongols gonna come to conquer the world or no country gonna colonized other countries now.
In my views, Israel conflict should also be resolved by a two nation theory and muslims should accept that, rather then fighting to demolish a Jew state. Everyone can live happily.
I really don’t understand why states fight with each other, mostly though it’s because of resources. But, do you think all world can come to a resolution to share the earth resources equally for all human beings? I think western world would be the first to object that then why not just leave the resources for the countries who owns that.
In conclusion, I don’t think a political Islam should be a concern for Christian or Jews or western world anymore. Only thing different in political Islam then modern world is, no markup on loans, death penalty on killings and no sexual content in public eyes, so what’s a big deal if a Muslim state want to do that in there territory? Just leave it on them. And live happily. Same as no one should tell west to ban LGPT rights.
What you think should be changed in Islam?
@@JB-qu1ku Islam did not undergo any meaningful reform, and all attempts at reform were aborted. I am not against Muslims as people, the problem is in the texts. Frankly honest Muslims recognize the danger of Islamic texts more than others and are outspoken about it. Islamic invasions stretched way beyond what is reasonable. From China and India to the Spain, including the whole middle east and north africa and 548 battles to try to occupy Europe. What stopped Islam's expansion is its internal deterioration. The Ottoman empire was backward and created so much misery. Enough that the printing press was banned for more than 300 years, which made the Muslim world lag behind the rest of the world. You don't find any new invention or any meaningful progress under the Ottomans for over 600 years. This is what paved the way to Western imperialism, which was still short lived and did not devastate original cultures and identities the way Islam did. The problem of Islam is the dominant ideas inside the minds of most Muslims, which spring from the aggressiveness of the Islamic texts. Al-Azhar is a backward institution and from it graduated many terrorists. Its curriculum is scaring. I read the stuff in Arabic, I know what I am talking about. The danger of Islam is great, I say this as an honest expression based on extensive investigation. I hope that Muslims, for their own sake, will halt their destructive trends and become a force for the good.
Thank you, Rabbi for this talk. As a Muslim, I was skeptical at the description/discussion about Islam by others, mainly because people who speak about other religions typically have an agenda that doesn't involve speaking fairly about the other religions. And while I was not taught all of the things that you mentioned about Islam (some are mentioned in other comments), I think your presentation was probably the best that one can expect from someone who is a religious person but not a Muslim. I particularly enjoyed the references to Maimonides, born in Cordoba, and who had many interactions with Muslims in Spain. One thing I would note, is that although spreading the message of Islam (da'wah) was instructed by our Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) in the his final sermon to spread this message to all of those who are not present, Muslims also believe that Jews and Christians who believe in God and the day of Judgment and perform good deeds, to them belongs a reward with their Lord and that they need not fear nor worry. (2:62) Jews and Christians are highlighted in the Qur'an as special status as People of the Book. Therefore, there is a place in Islam for non-Muslims and it isn't "My way or the highway", although Muslims do believe that our road to salvation is more correct and universally applicable. When you talked about the the reasons why Islam and Judaism is not congruent, you mentioned that it was because Muslims not accepting the divinity of the Torah. This is the case even though the Qur'an refers to the Torah a divine book, but also states that the current version has been changed is different from the original version. End of the day, we are more alike than we are different in many of the key factors. I appreciate his comments at the end and I think it leaves room for believers from many religions to find common ground with each other and pray for each other, in hope of God's salvation.
Shut up
In fact, even there are many disputes issues and contradictions in the Torah according to Islam view, as a Muslims follower of Prophet Muhammad we shall never ever reject Toral as divinely book or revelations send down by The Almighty Lord to Prophet Moses May Peace Be Upon him because when the true Messiah send down to the Earth in the end time, he will show the true Torah, Gospel, Psalm and Wisdoms which is give to Bani Israel(Israelites Peoples). He will led them (Peoples of Books @ Israelites @ Judaism and Christians) to the truly submissons of Lord(Allah) @ Islam but according to his teachings law(Syariat). Then he will unites this two Muslims; The followers of Muhammad and The followers of Jesus Christ + Moses to defeats the oppressors and evils and he will rule the world with justice and truth. ☝

Awesome speech ,thank you so much Rabbi
I am a Muslim and I am proud to learn that Judaism and Islam have a lot in common. Although I find your study very interesting I cannot help it but to assert that from the very first messenger sent by God up until the last messenger, it is the same monotheistic religion developing over time to reach its full potential. The Oneness of God is the universal message with all the messengers. That is to mention that
Adam
Idris (Enoch)
Nuh (Noah)
Hud (Heber)
Saleh (Methusaleh)
Lut (Lot)
Ibrahim (Abraham)
Ismail (Ishmael)
Ishaq (Isaac)
Yaqub (Jacob)
Yusuf (Joseph)
Shu’aib (Jethro)
Ayyub (Job)
Dhulkifl (Ezekiel)
Musa (Moses)
Harun (Aaron)
Dawud (David)
Sulayman (Solomon)
Ilyas (Elias)
Alyasa (Elisha)
Yunus (Jonah)
Zakariya (Zachariah)
Yahya (John the Baptist)
Isa (Jesus)
Muhammad.
all received one message and that is to worship God alone. I believe we should all as monotheistic worshippers acknowledge that our moral values are almost the same and our worship towards the One and only God more or less puts us on the same page.
Thanks Rabbi for your analysis which I found intriguing and honest.
Good Presentation but 20:00
Islam never claimed Judaism or Christianity copied from them. Islam has an image of Jews as learned People even though it considered them as people in habit of betraying God's favor upon them. Islam has accepted that those 2 Faith came earlier
True
19:48 muslims don’t claim that judaism took these stories from them. They claim that Judaism was the religion of God, then people corrupt it so Muhammed bring it again. Mohammed says: don’t deny words of torah untill you don’t find their correspondence in Quran because some of them are words of Allah.
muslims claim islam is orginal so jews got this from islam but the changed it and later Muhammad came to bring back original
What I understand, the claim is Adam as first Muslim from human kind not the first to practice Islam. Islam was not the first and just came out of nowhere 1400 years ago but the "Muslim" has been arround since begining of mandkind and you can still find a clip on you tube where a Rabbi talk abt an ancient group often perform sacrafice on temple mount along with the Jew. This group identified themself as " Muslim". Muslim doesn't necessary means those who practice Islam but those who submit to the law or Shariah that God gave to them no matter what form of law it was. Every prophet came with certain law/rule that is not necessary to be similar to previous prophets.
Even Jin kind has their own set of Shariah which is absolutely different from Shariah gave to us Human but Jin who submit their self to this law is considered as a "Muslim" from jin kind. Then regarding
Muhammad, He didn't come to bring back original. There is no original as every prophet and nation were given different set of rule. What Muhammad did was to clear all those false claim and stories (such as claim of Jesus as Son of God, God need to die to forgive sin, God created heaven and earth then felt fatigue so got to rest on 7th day, claim of Lot incest etc) and then conveyed a specific law God gave to His nation (Islam) and in some narration He also brought Shariah for the Jin kind that abolished the previous Shariah brought by Moses.
Great lecture, Rabbi Pinchas Taylor. A few corrections if you'll allow me, though since this video was made 7yrs ago, I am sure you have learned more details about Islam.
1. There is a diversity of interpretations in Islam and therefore, Muslim practice of faith will also differ. There are Muslims who will deny this but that is just stubborn ignorance, if not arrogance.
2. The original meaning of the word jlhad, as was explained by Muhammad, is for one to gain mastery over one's ego - nafs - by way of allowing one's higher level of consciousness, or the soul - ruh/ru'ah to emerge.
3. The Qur'anic revelation does not state that the Torah is corrupt. In chapter 3, verse 3, it states, "It is He (God) Who has sent down the Book (the Qur’an) to you (Prophet Muhammad ) with truth, confirming what came before it. And he sent down the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel).” So, the divinity of the Torah is not nor can it be rejected because of the Unicity of God, in that it is the same God who revealed before.
In another verse, the Qur'an relates that some of the scripture, as revealed by God, were later misinterpreted by people which led to misunderstandings, if not deliberate misguiding followers. This ignorance can easily be seen in the falling back to the worshipping of a golden calf during the time of Moses. Humanity swerves and sways from divine guidance, and this is why in the belief of monotheistic religions, with Islam being the culminating confirmation of that which came before, God has sent prophets to humanity throughout time so as to guide them from darkness and ignorance, and into light. Were it not the case, the revelation wouldn't have been necessary. Moreover, the stories found in the Torah that appear in the Qur'an are not the full story. It is assumed by the Qur'an, if not required, that the reader is also well versed in the previous scripture. In the Qur'an, these stories are related once again in order to place emphasis on the meaning/message behind the story, which one could argue, is the actual point. Take for example the story of Adam and Eve, while perhaps differently understood in both Judaism and Christianity, tends to be seen as the story of the creation of human beings, with the emphasis being on the original sin. In the Qur'an however, the story is retold but its meaning emphasizes God's mercy. And so ultimately, we are all Adam and Eve who when navigating the trials and tribulations of human life, will make mistakes on a daily basis. But rather than being blamed by God for simply being human, He reminds us to seek refuge in Him and in His mercy. I think one might find this more pallatable than the former conclusion of being cast out from the garden of Eden.
4. Based on your comments regarding your worldview, it makes perfect sense that the God of Judaism who abhors idolatry would be the same God that would reveal anew, this time to a region whose inhabitants were staunchly idolatrous and whose social moral fabric had frayed into ignorance. It is also the same God who went from being One to then becoming part of a trinity along with being anthropomorphised as in Christianity. It follows, then, that the Qur'anic revelation was not an 'offshoot' of the Jewish faith but a reaffirmation of God's mercy to all of humanity (rather than just to a specific group of people), to guide all who had forgotten and/or misunderstood His message. To state otherwise would be to suggest, if not to believe, that upon the completion of God's revelation of the Torah, He fell into a deep slumber never to be heard from again. That would be antithetical to Him being a Just God, not to mention one who is ever-present and all-aware.
That being said, I appreciated listening to your lecture!
Thank you Taylor. Before watching this video I was a muslim. Now i am a hard core Muslim. Allahu Akbar.
There’s a lot of details that are twisted to be subliminally negative.. luckily for Muslims they have no interest in forcing, tricking or any thing to gain in attracting followers or shaming anyone. Each follower only focus is within one self and immediate neighbors, no church needed, no popes priest pastors.
Just understanding.
There should be no reason to shame or talk negative about any religion regardless of your own, as long as your a strong believer in what you worship why would it matter? So what if you feel they got some stuff wrong, they are happy and it’s helping them personally.
I stopped by in hopes of positivity and a message of unity… but nope once again I’m left questioning the motives.
I noticed that too subhanAllah
How insecure are you, this does not seem like an attack, nor is it one.
Absolutely. Simply and factually wrong.

@@IlyasFakhimovic Okay, but are you assuming he is doing this deliberately?
Enjoyed the lecture as a muslim. the lecture was based on a very openminded worldview and would help bring people worshipping One God closer. we need more lectures to bridge the gap.
Few comments:
1. If the Quran is so similar to Torah in theology, it could either be copied from Torah or could be a revelation from the same source i.e the One God. A human being who is reciting the Quran in a pagan land where countless dieties are worshipped and is proclaiming the message of just One God. Not only that, he is also being persecuted and has to migrate to another city for his belief in One God (the same theology that Jews so revere) and finally establishing a religion based on the worship of One God despite all the opposition to his views, within 23 years of his ministry which is persisting until now since his life time. This human is also offering the strongest critique to Trinity in a pagan land with not many Christians, just because it violates the pure monotheism mentioned in the Torah. Why can't this man be an actual Prophet than someone who is just copying the Torah. if this wasn't this the stage set for coming of a Prophet who destroys a pagan society, replaces it with the pure Abrahamic monotheism and also counters the belief of Trinity that has corrupted the true monotheism, then what else would that stage be when God sends a Prophet.
2. The Quran doesn't ask people to not believe in Torah. Rather it says we have to believe in the Torah and Gospel being from God. it says in multiple places that the Torah is from the same One God. It just says that it was not preserved in its purest form.
3. All muslims do is pray to the same one God. And about Muhammad, they only think he is a human being and pray for him for his work on saving monotheism which was desperately needed and thus he was God's man and Prophet. Don't think this should make any Jew not come to a mosque.
Why didn’t you object the lies about the Qur’an and the number of prayers per days if indeed you are a Muslim and were paying attention

A most kind and thorough overview. Thank you Rabbi for the blessing that you are in the world. Shalom and Ahavah
Excellent narration ❤ As a Hindu, knowing about Islam and Judaism is most important due to on going war between Israel and Hamas.
It's not war. If war it has to abide by the Geneva convention.
What is not allowed in war?
Some examples of prohibited acts include: murder; mutilation, cruel treatment and torture; taking of hostages; intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population; intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to religion, education, art, science or charitable purposes, historical monuments or ...
Do we have rules for war?
The four Geneva Conventions, agreed by every country, set out how soldiers and civilians should be treated in war. The Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols form the basis of modern international humanitarian law, setting out how soldiers and civilians should be treated during war.
It's more ethnic cleansing n atrocities n genocides
Shalom. At 19:57 the respected Rabbi states "They claim that we took it from them 1500 years ago". With all due respect to the Rabbi, this claim is inaccurate. Muslims, by principle and in the modern world, do not claim that the Jewish religion or Jewish people "took" anything. Instead the Qur'an says that it is a "confirmation of that which came before it" and that it is a "guidance for those who believe in what was revealed to you and what was revealed before you (I.e the Torah and the Gospel). Muslims to this day, following the word of the Quran, see their religion as the revealed continuation from the same universal God that gave the covenant to the children of Israel. Therefore there is no claim of theft or even adaptation, but rather confirmation and continuation.
Thank you for the correction ! I heard many mistakes in his speech even though some things were interesting
We Muslims don't think Jews borrowed from Islam ( that would be absurd) nor we Muslims borrowed from Jews. Rather, we got it from the same source you received revelations, Allah!
your religion started in 630 so how can we have gotten anything from you if our religion is 3000 years older ...
@@davidmanheim266 our religion started from the day hazrat Adam PBUH was born.
@@davidmanheim266 the only religion God commanded the people to follow is ‘submission’ to him aka ‘Islam’. God never commanded the people to be Jewish or Christian or Buddhist etc.
These are man made names that God has no business with. His only religion has always been and will always be Islam (submission). That some nations have decided to change the name of their religion to something else is on them not on God.
It only proves God’s statements in the scripture and the Quran, as well as the findings of text analysis experts and scholars, that the scripture has been altered on various levels in various times. One major change was succumbing to the ruling power’s choice of words to describe this group of people “Jews” based on geographical and ethnic factors, instead of “Israelites” (bloodline) and instead of “Muslims” (religion/description of all the prophets and their followers).
When the Muslims were being dragged to the same trap of their identity being refashioned after the name of a man ‘Muhammadans’, they staunchly refused this centuries-long attempt and insisted in countless writings that the Muslims are not Muhammadans and do not know what Muhammadanism entails. Eventually, the naming dropped by time due to the Muslims fierce resistance.
Almost all religions in the world now - except Islam- are renamings of an older religion after the name of a man or group of men (ie. Juda, Christ, Buddha, etc).
Bottom line is, Islam is not a ‘newer’ religion. Islam is the first, oldest and only religion sent by God to all the people. God has only one religion, not two, not three.
Thank you Rabbi. That was very interesting. And as a Muslim, I pray for that day when all humans can live together in peace and no wars ❤
The Torah, the foundational text of Judaism, contains no hint that a messiah is to be expected. While the word mashiakh (“messiah”) does appear four times in the text, namely in Leviticus chapters 4 and 6, it has nothing to do with messianism: it simply means “anointed,” referring to a consecrated priest. So what's your points???
I call upon every person to read the Quran for themselves (eg. The Clear Quran by Mustafa Khattab)
Thanks to rabbi Pinchas Taylor for this presentation. It was truly educational and presented a fair objective view on Islam.
At 19:45, the rabbi mentioned that Muslims claim Jews have taken those stories from Muslims. However, I have never heard any Muslim making such a claim, nor is it mentioned anywhere in the Quran.
In fact, the Quran addresses the children of Israel or people of the book and reminds them of what they have in their own books. Therefore, the claim is false and unfounded.
Here here... We don't make that claim at all...
I would love if you can do a video like this titled “Jewish look into zionism.” Great video by the way. I would love to learn your point of view on that matter.

am pleased to notice that contributors or commenters are politie and respectful despite this gentleman lack of understanding of Islam
I like you speech brother, I have few things 1. 5 Times prayer is the must for Muslim and it's by choice
2. Zakath is missing
3. Fasting in Ramadan is must and Arafa is a value add
4. Islam, Jewish and Christian are given to respective prophets and there are more Prophets
5. Anyone can follow Islam as it is from Almighty and it's not a closed network
6. Why Almighty separate from Jews and Non-Jews and how Jews can make unity when we say jews are different and we are different.
These things still raise a question.
Happy to hear Islam your whole heartedly and may Almighty bless you all and have you all in Heaven
"(Namely) those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who is an ummi (cannot read and write) whose (name) they find written in the Torah and the Gospel that they have, who commands them to do what is right and forbids what is wrong, and who permits everything that is good for them and forbids everything that is bad for them, and frees them from the burdens and fetters that are on them. "As for those who believe in him, glorify him, help him and follow the bright light that was revealed to him (the Koran), they are the lucky people" (QS al-A'raf: 157).

@@user-mc8bb6zo3q i am Jewish and isreal does not represent me.
I find it fascinating that the Jewish position on Islam is basically that Islam is correct.
Judah Halevi's argument against Islam in the Kuzari is that the Prophet Muhammad's miracles were smaller than the Prophet Moses (note - he didn't deny Muhammad had miracles), and that the Quran was written in Arabic which the King of the Khazars couldn't read (but the Kuzari was written in Arabic, so neither Judah nor his audience could use this excuse).
The analogy with Prophet Jonah in this video was also fascinating. Judaism essentially leaves room for non-Jewish prophets. The city of Mosul (Nineveh) was a guided, but not Israelite, city for a time.
No Muslim claim Jewish people took Abraham, Isaac, David, Moses or Jesus from islam. Islam or Qur'an verifies those events in history and confirms those events and all those names. We must believe those names as prophets and events as realities of those prophets. Otherwise we are not to be accepted as muslims.
There’s no complete story in Quran . Only one sura is complete and it is Subhanake.
Hebrews
1 God, who [a]at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the [b]worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had [c]by Himself [d]purged [e]our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
BTW, the covenant was never given to Isaac but the covenant is with Ishmael. the scribes tried to change it in the torah but you can see it clearly.
So what was the gain they had by changing it?
@@ThreePersonsInOne the most obtuse question.
I am an orthodox christian who really loves and respects the jews ❤
I think Rabbi Taylor is so respectful in his views and his way of presentation .
This lecture is balanced even though i still believe that God is a Triune God.
Answering our Muslim friends who are criticizing rabbi Taylor for saying that muslims claim that the jews copied from the quran
I think what Rabbi Taylor meant is that muslims claim that the quran is the last , original, and the only reliable scripture
While what we have in our hands ( as Christians and jews) is a distorted unreliable version of the holy scriptures .a book or books that we ruined and distorted ourselves
A claim with NO evidence AT ALL .
God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit all in One. It is a mystery requiring divine revelation to grasp.
a claim with hundreds of evidences
What a beautiful lecture ❤

I am shocked as an Algerian who grew up in Algiers in the 1970s and 1980s to hear that the city I grew up in was mentioned by anyone in the world!!! When I mention Algiers or Algeria to people here in Boston they usually say: "what's that?" as though referring to a thing and not a place or a country in the world. Algeria is the biggest country by size in Africa and the 10th biggest in the world, yet no one in the west knows this country!!! Why? because the military junta that rules it and their criminal friends in France and Europe and the gulf countries want everything under wraps while they pillage, ransack, steal, rape, and destroy that country!!!
Sorry to hear that, friend. I would love to visit Algeria someday.
That's exactly what happened during the start of islam. It was all political interest and power. You think Omar khattab was interested in religion? He was waiting his turn to rule to enrich himself

Good things they hide and wrong things they promote
Ashura fast is still practiced among Muslims bro it’s on the 10th day of Muharram , the very first month of Islamic calendar. However this fasting practice get over shadowed by the mourning of the massacre of the Karbla which sadly happened on the 10th of the Muharram.😢
I was amazed to learn the similarities in the believes of Muslims and Jews. There is no doubt that we both worship the same god. The only thing is that Quran has explicitly mentioned why Jews were replaced with other faiths. But it’s good to know that there is another religion in the world that truly believes in one God.
As a Christian, I’ve always wondered why it feels like there’s more of a kinship with Jews than Muslims. Maybe just because of the politics of the day and wars that seem to go along with the politics? I was glad to hear mention of “the Messiah”, who I believe was/is Jesus Christ. And I believe He was prophesied about in Isaiah 53 and many other books of the Bible. He is the Light of the world. His blood sacrifice followed the Levitical system of atonement for sin.
Muslims believe that Jesus (peace be upon him) is the Messiah and will return one day. Jews don't accept Jesus as the Messiah.

Isaiah 53:5, “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes, we are healed.” (NKJV) The ultimate plan of God is not divine healing but divine health. Divine health is your birthright in Christ Jesus.

Thank you Rabbi, I enjoyed watching your video. Wish everyone can comprehend your message. After all, the Quran states “ Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in God and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve. Chapter 2, Verse 62.
the quran's words are worthless because al lah is not God Almighty, just an idol worshipped by pagan Arabs along with many other idols. When people quote quran as if it is the words of the true God it's an insult which tarnishes a person before the true God, the God of Israel, YHWH (in written form eg ancient Hebrew scripture)
what does that even mean
@@-BigIi- What a moron! You do not have to be a Muslim to appreciate the nobleness of Qur'an and the fact that it tells you that you do not have to be a Muslim to go to heaven! What other religion is this peaceful and whose else God is so merciful and compassionate?
@@-BigIi-cry no opinion accepted from Trinity and pagan worshiper 🤡🙏 many jewish rabbi already explained this and have so many Proof
@@-BigIi- Yahweh was a destructive warrior storm god of the ancient idol worshipping Canaanites. One of many. Two can play at your game of malice since you want to spread animosity. Shame on you.
Very good 👍
Sir, we Muslims don't say that Jews copied things from quran, but we do say that the Torah has changed or corrupted.
Quran says:
"Those who believe (in the Qur´an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve."
(2:62)
How are those who call themselves Jews and are not?????
Rabbi Salaam i am a Muslim.Great video.Jews,Christians and Muslims are brothers and will remain brothers forever Ameen.Shalom ❤
Why are Muslims killing Christian’s in Ethiopia?
Adnan..dont ever trust Zionist Jews...learn ftom history.
Hello Rabbi Taylor,
I'm no scholar or theologist but what I do know is that Jewish, Christian and Muslim scholars should be united now more than ever. The world we live in today is a clear battle (God Vs satan), moral decay is spreading all around the world and we the people of the world are in desperate need for the influence and guidance of the people of faith.
Well said.
You are right, we should not compete our religions, but we should compete in establishing ideal societies which we Muslims are lacking.
The world need Humanism, not Bronze and Iron Age superstition.
You've explained quite well so far. But would you please give us the reference where Muslims claim that Jews copied from Muslims?
אולי מוסלמים העתיקו מהיהודים אתה מתכוון??
As a Muslim person I salute you with big respect for making this presentation. You are truly brilliant and perfect speaker and believer, in the one God who has created us . As a Muslim I say we do believe in all God teaching that’s has passed on in the holly books. And Quran is another and a full final reminder of God teachings.. thanks for speaking the words of wisdom and guidance towards the one God , and peace. Salam & Shalom
Seems u dint listen to him full.. So may fabrication of stories n theories
As a Muslim there are some details that are not true. Islam didn’t force anyone to convert.
U clearly never opened a hadith b4 hahahhahaha
You sure?
@@Remake5182 idk which islam he is talking about but definitely not Mohammed ones
Not true they did force people
It was you either become a Muslim or stay on your religion and pay them money to stay alive or if you would not pay you die

May Allah bless this man..he is atleast true to his faith,he is doing his faith justice.may Allah guide him and bless him with true knowledge and increase his knowledge and show him the rigth way.
But he is saying that Muslims claim that Judaism copied things from Islam, which is false.
@@Wonderer224exactly ! He keeps lying that we copied from him because he can’t accept the fact that Islam is a true religion
The righr way is Jesus, don't be afraid to follow him😊

You researched it well and I would like to thank you to not mock my religion like others and not showing your religion as superior. You showed us similarities, you showed us differences but you didn't lie that is really appreciated.
Keep up the good work
Wow that was a terrible and a misleading presentation of the history and the concept of Islam.
Even as devout non-believer in any super power myths, I still can hear the Rabbi's sense of superiority and cynism towards Islam.
Seems like a very genuine and honest effort, but riddled with very basic errors. Was really hoping for something better researched. I'm sorry but this is disappointing.
The reality of the similarities are truly fascinating, mostly missed here.
19:47 I really interested to know which muslim person claimed that Jews copied from Muslim? As a muslim myself, I never heard such claim. Is this about Karaite Jewish?
So one thing to point out that’s factually incorrect (16:30) is that Muslims still fast for Ashura (the day Moses freed the Israelites) and it’s emphasized that they fast two days instead on one. Ramadan is something entirely different.
Thank you, I am at 28:41 where you talked about the trinity, I call myself a Christain and have always had an issue with the three in one. I find it hard to understand why so many Christain has issues that Jesus was a Jew, and he died as a Jew for me to understand what we call the Old Testament I need to understand where it came from, it came from Jewish Bible. Sorry that I did not use the correct words in places. You are very informative and I think you. I am writing this in 2023 and not when you said it.
لا تنظر إلى الناس ، ابحث عن ما هو دليل لقلبك وعقلك ولا تبحث عن ماتريد نفسك
What is the problem with Trinity- Father Son and Holy Spirit?
We muslims never say that jews copied us. Jews and Muslims follow the same God and therefore share the same teachings.
I am a Christian and I am in awe about this knowledge, it only shows how God the Only One God of Abraham was speeking to the people who sought Him. In every thing what a man is then passing on it can be some details of disagreement, but the main stream in faith counts. How such people like Rabbi Pinchas Taylor are needed in our times to free these three Monotheistic religions from all prejudices toward one another. And the world from wars build on that by secular politicians.
I would love to see a debate/dialogue between you Sir and Dr Zakir Naik. Hope to see it in my life time. Many thanks
Zakir naik??? The same Zakir naik that is fugitive who embezzled millions of dollars and was accused of money laundry and still wanted in India??
This gonna be good
Zakir Naik is an ignoramus ass
@@cosmiccruxbot3841 did you earn anything with this comment ?
Zakir Naik is a clown.
Prophet Muhammad -Peace be upon Him- is not the founder of Islam. He is a Messenger sent by God, the Creator of everything, to relay His message to human kind.
The Quran was revealed in Arabic. So, in order to understand it, you need to KNOW the Arabic language. If you are judging the Quran based on some translations you’ve read then you have been misled and are misleading others.
In other words, with all due respect, if you are not proficient in the Arabic language then you do NOT qualify to interpret or criticize the Quran, and hence Islam, for the simple reason that you do NOT understand it, no matter how good the translation is.
why dont you translate it like christians do
@@jayd4ever There are many translations available but the Quran is more than just words, it has music in it that touches the soul and cannot be translated. When it was first revealed and the non-believers - who were well versed in the Arabic language - heard it they could not find any faults in it or criticise its structure so they called it “magic”. Besides, in addition to the apparent meaning of its verses (which the translated text conveys) they have more than one hidden (or esoteric) meaning that cannot be conveyed in one single translation. So, whoever seeks to understand - and criticise - the Quran must learn Arabic, exactly like whoever wants to study Shakespeare must learn and be proficient in English!
@@mohsen6327 some people dont like the sound recently in India some want ban on azan and Shakespeare isn't for world it is for English speaking quran for whole world not arabs only you can translate it like you can bible
The Rabbi makes sensible remarks, only mistake he makes is when he says Quran is copied from jewishs books which is not true and also muslims do not say jewish scriptures were copied from Quran that is also ridiculous. Both scriptures are directly through God Almighty. Only thing muslims say that the new testanent has been modified by men and got corrupted
A Great teaching Rabbi Taylor
4:05 "that wasn't necessarily the case" understatement of the century lol
Still one of the most followed religion. 😉
@@fsyclopse regarding most followed, google "lemmings"
So you are saying that for Christianity, Islam and Hinduism? All of these 😂😂😂 Are you even a jew?
@@fsyclopse yes, I am saying that for all of them, and No I am not. My background doesn't negate the fact, that all of the abstract nouns you've mentioned, each teach one core value between them, which everything else is based on. I would add Buddhism to that list, too.
Religion is not a competition, nor does anyone have a patent on God. What this fellow is trying to portray is that Islam is some watered down spinoff of Judaism-when in fact, the divine message has been revealed though progressive revelation and the multiplicity of prophets. Why is it that Jews believe that they alone have the path to God and nobody else????
this rabbi seems a half Muslim and very polite and knowledgeable. mashallah
Another correction : Jihad is not a concept added by Shiaa Muslims, it is an important part of Sunni Muslim faith.
Salam to all from a Shia muslim. I wanted to point out something. Surah Maidah 82 says: "You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allāh; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, "We are Christians." That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant." Some may take this verse as a definitive rejection of jews. However, the end of the verse xlearly states that this enemosity is only logical if they are ARROGANT. The equivalent of that in our current times are people who disregard others as humans. Racists and Supremacists. I don't agree with everything this respectful rabbi said, but as many other jews, he was respectful and non-arrogant. As a Shia I can only respect that and can have no enemosity towards that.
Hmm funny that the same book you follow commands to to kill Jews------look there hiding behind a rock or tree--go and kill him---that is what your books teach.

Muhammad, may peace be upon him. Was commanded by Allah to follow the legacy traditions of Abraham and Noah like 30 days fasting, five daily prayers and the pilgrimage to the house of Allah in Mecca. He just corrected some bad additions. The pagans of Mecca were already following these traditions.
