9:39 an iconic presentation moment. Alexander the Great is known as a mightly military commander but the prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) is belittled as warlord even though they both did basically the same thing! Paul pulling that tweet up was a such classy move.

I understand what you're trying to say, but saying that The Prophet and Alexander "did basically the same thing" is abominable, and disrespectful to the Prophet. Alexander wasn't a "good guy," and war atrocities were committed in his reign.

Paul, You must provide these lectures back in the UK as live seminars for the Muslims here. We desperately need this knowledge so we know the landscape we are operating in. You come with a certain package which makes this even more appealing, white, westerner, ex-Christian, philosopher etc. the only other person I can think of like this is Timothy Winters

Fascinating lecture, really well delivered, and easy to understand. Bro. Paul you are an excellent speaker! Alhumdolilaah very charming, humble and English❤

This is really fascinating, I had just watched a lecture on western civilization but this one takes the cake! really good!

Great lecture, Brother Paul. 10:47 I really like that point, that Alexander is looked on relatively positively in the West, but Muhammad (Saliyahu Alahi Wa Salaam) and his successors are viewed negatively as some kind of intolerant warlords...and yet, ancient religions, cultures, and even (in many cases) ancient languages still exist to this day in areas conquered by the Islamic Empire. Yet Alexander and his successors (especially people like Antiochus Epiphanes, who's deeds against the Jewish people are found in the Catholic Deuterocanonical books/Protestant Apocrypha) were brutal in their assimilation of other peoples. The double standard is really apparent when the Muslims are viewed as "occupiers" of Spain for the entire time they were there--800 years, a time three times as long as the United States has been in existence. Or how the Turks are viewed as "occupying" the Hagia Sophia when they've been there since before Columbus sailed. Turning to the west, the Israeli state hasn't been in East Jerusalem more than 55 years, but dare not call them "Occupiers"...and you'd never say the United States "occupies" its current geography, even though we've only existed as a nation for 1/3 of the time the Muslims were in Spain. This is especially egregious when you consider that the Muslim rule in Spain was demonstrably more tolerant, intellectual, technologically advanced and materially successful than what came before it and what came after it. In addition, the same Spanish state that kicked out all Muslims and Jews also began a horrible exploitation of the Americas in their lust spreading their Catholic faith, acquiring gold, and bringing personal glory to the conquerors.

Omg it's been a while I saw u and now you are touring the globe preaching the word of God . What a drastic growth . Am inspired. Please forgive me for ever doubting your strength . Am inspired to learn more . If u made it to be from the duat of Allah and his prophet in ur age. Then I can. Prayers 🙏

Well done Paul. You are building bridges between West and Muslims.

I am surprised at the people who are surprised by Br Paul being good at public speaking 🤷‍♂️. What do you think he has been doing all along in his KZread channel ?! If you say it's a different mode of delivery, I would say there are many common elements in the interviewing and public speaking. You should have noticed the dizzying eloquence and fluency of br Paul in his interviews. He many times very succinctly and eloquently summarized long chain of ideas of his guests. So, it shows his command of English as well as systematic thinking in delivering complex ideas. Thank you br Paul, it was very enlightening compact lecture.

Nice work Brother Paul...well done really happy for you...

Jazakallah Khair ustadh Paul. I wish the camera exposure can be adjusted so the slides can be seen better iA Edit: I watched the whole lecture. Really, the screen wasn't needed. I was able to learn so much that scholarly work was so easily explained and understood by a layman like myself. May this video (and this channel!) be testimony to Ustadh Paul's efforts for the deen.

Good going Paul Williams (can I say synonymous with the ever fascinating Blogging Theology). Salute! and salutations of peace and love from South Africa, the land of the freed but struggling with the modernist order of a liberal and constitutional democratic world.

@@Wenutz I'm speaking a language I have learned, which is not the language of "my colonial masters", because my nation was never colonized by the British, of course, the Anglosaxon sphere dominates the world, so English is the lingua franca nowadays, just like Arabic, Latin and Chinese used to be in many parts of the world, nothing to do with "colonialism", unless of course, you're trying to argue, nobody should speak a common language and rather comminucate with hands? More so, you seem to be obsessed with how others dress, call themselves, or even what language they speak, are you really trying to colonize others now, the way you have been colonized? Let people dress the way they want to dress as long as it is in the sphere of the Shariaa. As a side note, Islam encourages Muslims to be distinct, so if one chooses to adopt the dress of a particular Muslim community, whether that be Saudi, Moroccan, Pakistani, Malaysian and so on, they're free to do so, they're also free to spread Islam within their own community, so that their own clothes could be the symbol of the Muslims.
