Thank you. I teach in Arabic at my university, so I have plenty of practice.

One thing I would like to know is how an Islamic state was actually structured, as opposed to the modern Westphalian nation state. Probably shown with diagrams and stuff or drawn on a board.

There is a lot written on religious toleration with regard to monotheists. However, there is little discussion of polytheists which seem to have less protection... although I recall that a few Sufis had ideas which would encourage some toleration - it really isn't that discussed. I'd love to hear more about any jurists or Islamic philosophers who present any basis for toleration. This is an important topic for various Indigenous religions in different parts of the world which could be interpreted (rightly or wrongly) as non-monotheistic.

I look forward to watching more of your videos, did not know you had a channel.

In Shaa Allah... thank you Dr..

The construction or deconstruction of the self as part of religious practice is also a fascinating topic.

Even just listening the introduction is enough exciting can't wait to see coming videos.

Suggestion - The Walking Qur’an. Of course we have the prophetic example. You mentioned this book in the forum in Norway with Armstrong and Esposito. Maybe you can make it into a series of videos. Jazakallah khair...

Salam. I just want to say that I am so grateful to know you and enjoy learning through your videos. Alhamdulillah. You are my mentor in Islamic education. Imam al-Ghazali is my favourite scholar too and so in love with Ihya Ulumuddin. I hope there is more to come for your videos. May Allah bless you sir.

@@jelumbard I am scholar myself but of Near Eastern history and Geopolitics - But I love how you said there will be another Abu Hamid al-Ghazali video in the future - because the pun here is that there will never be another al-ghazali - The man was a mastermind who was far from a deviant like many of the modern day salafists like to believe - For example, his tahafut falasifah is not even his best work, but the way he set that up with the maqasid (though yes he was younger when he wrote that) but to see how he essentially said in the tahafut the ol’ “okay your muslim, but wont accept scripture when it clashed with your ideals of of logic ?…. okay, okay, ill leave scripture alone and ill beat you at your own game”, and that he did - and did it in such a fantastic novel way, it was like reading a polemic debate … I respect ibn Rushd very much so, but his rebuttal was so all over the place and never met the crux of ghazalis main arguments But from ihya ulum ad-deen to the Iqtisād, and so on and on - I have so many of ghazalis works - He not only stood up for Islam but showed how one can venture into these other sciences without becoming heretical - speaking of the iqtisãd, the modern day najdi dawah movement (who has a historian, I can tell they have no clue that al-Wahhab actually did to fellow Muslims) but anyways, they in the last year have been getting heavy into the kalam cosmological argument and I dont even think they realize that sina, but ESPECIALLY ghazali, is the reason that such an extraordinary argument for the existence of Allah (the necessary being) is out there - because many of them call him a “deviant” and “heretical” ….. simply because of tasawwuf and his reasonable understanding of using tasawwuf for the pillar of ihsan - is honorary title was well deserved great stuff, keep it up PS - i just realized this is old - so you may not see it - but this is the first video I came across on your channel !

God bless you, Dr Lumbard for setting up this precious channel which I have just discovered last year. Love the purpose and content of this channel. I hope that you will continue making videos that enlighten and educate us, imparting knowledge about Islam in this way. It is a service to Muslims as well as others. Faith must only be based on knowledge to be firmly grounded, and illuminate the mind as well as the heart.

Any evidence of interactions between Sufi philosophies and philosophies from India would also be quite interesting.

Assalamu Aleykhoum, very interested in this channel. One interesting topic could be a comparative study between mainstream islamic societies and the islamic societies that were isolated for decades such as the chinese, where when it opened up to the rest of the world, women islamic jurists were found and some other interesting features. Thanks for all your efforts.

I finally found the channel i was looking for:) I really appreciate for the academic quality of your videos sir.I wish i had a chance to attend your courses but I cant so would you mind uploading videos by following your couse programme.I really want to see lectures from basic subjects like history of quran and ulum al-quran.Also studying western scholarship on quran with a muslim western scholar would benefit so much i think. l am looking forward to see your future uploads:)

Greetings Dr Lumbard I would like to hear more about the Gender relations of Islam. How does Islam see Women and Men? Are they spiritually equal but corporeally unequal according to Islam? what is the status of Women in Islam? During the discussion on this, I specifically look forward to hearing from you the following points, A) Guardianship of men Over women in Islam - Both in general terms and in financial terms B)The relevance of verse 34 in chapter 4 in the modern context C) The inheritance laws of women according to Sharia - what was the opinion of the ulema past and present of Chapter 4 Verse 11 in the Quran D) Sharia on women acquiring leadership positions. Has Islam historically discouraged women from occupying political/ juridical positions?

Keep up the good work. May Allah bless you.

It would be very interesting to hear about any equivalents to negative theology resulting from intolerance to ideology.

thanks in advance for your effort. I'm wondering if there are plenty of scholars, books, scientific and philosophical issues that have been lost through history because of many situations like, the burning of Baghdad and Cordoba libraries, and the crusader invading of Levant and Spain and Monglis one of the east side of the Islamic empire?? In addition to the inner Islamic conflicts within the Islamic borders ... and so on and so forth.

@jelumbard

There are many books that have been lost. Bit one aspect of Islam having such an extensive book culture is that many manuscripts are found throughout the Islamic world. So most manuscripts destroyed in the Mongol invasion for example, had copies in other places. Nonetheless, many books have been lost over time.

Hi Dr. Lumbard. Could you please make a video where you recommend books on Islamic history, philosophy, theology, etc? I've read your and Dr. Nasr's books. Dr. Nasr's books are mostly about the history of philosophy and his Islam; religion, history, and civilization is very short. I'm specifically looking for a history of Fiqh and also a comprehensive study on how different modes of thought grew in Islam and how they interacted with each other. Thank you

Wow..just what I am looking for. I am looking for information on the evolution of Islamic spirituality.

WalaikumAssalam Mr. Lumbard. May Allah reward you for what you are doing. I would like some knowledge on historical, archeological for present day Mecca/Kaaba being the real one with some authentic resources to rely on. There is one theory, circulating on KZread by By Dr. Gibson. He and his team seems to be putting lot of effort in making it to reach to lot of people. I know how shaitaan works. But it will be very helpful to know the resources.

As usual , yet another fantastic video from Mr.Joseph Lumbard. I remember you saying how you confined yourself to your basement for years to study Quran (in Arabic it is called Mu'atakif-from Itikaf ) and your wife nagged you about how studying Quran has taken precedence over things in your life. I believe of all the gifts The Creator bestows on humans , the love and affinity of Quran is the best. Congrats Mr.Joseph and make dua for me too. Also I'd love to hear more talks about early Sufis (Mutaqqadimeen Sufia) and how they saw religious /spiritual experience. Thanks

In the General Introduction- XXVII- why does it insert (“wont”) after sunnah? I’m so confused by this. What are the authors saying by inserting (“wont”) here. The sentence- “It also contains instructions for various individual religious practices, and especially rites, whose details were provided by the sunnah *(“wont”)*, and ahadith (saying actions and tactic approvals) of the Prophet.”
