My humble request to my brothers in Islam don't ask again and again to brother Paul about his religion, for us it's enough that he speak and propagate the true teachings, and the rest Almighty Allah the most merciful and compassionate will take care of him.

Hadiths are reports of sayings, actions and approvals of the Prophet from which Sunnah is extracted. The prophetic teachings/rulings of divine origin are abundant in the hadiths, where the context or the prophet, himself, clearly indicates that it was through revelation. There are also Quranic examples to prove that God's revelations to the Prophet were not exclusively through the Quran, in the same way that the previous prophets received revelation. If we don't have an issue with that, we know for example that the prophet said: "Pray as you see me pray", the way of praying (actions & words) was taught to the prophet by Gabriel. The same goes for some aspects about Halal and Haram that were detailed in Sunnah. So in the same way that the Islamic law encompasses Quran & Sunnah, the Jewish law, as I understand, includes transmitted teachings of Moses as in the Mishnah that are not found in the written Torah. However, the difference may be in its reliability as the Jewish one was compiled more than a thousand-year later and it is not based on a clear process to authenticate the provenance of these oral laws but the idea of having nonscriptural prophetic teachings and rulings from God is the same. God knows best

absolutely wrong. The Hadiths are the worst thing that happened to us muslims. God revealed to us the Quran a complete book with everything you need and yet this was not enough for Muslims so they started compiling all this hadith books that took over and hijacked the religion of God. The prophet himself told his followers not to write down his sayings but they ignored him and wrote it down 200 years later bukhari and muslim. Why - is it not enough for them that We have bestowed this divine writ on thee from on high, to be conveyed [by thee] to them?50 For, verily, in it is [manifested Our] grace, and a reminder to people who will believe. 29:51

@Nina Aden Here is a Hadith from Sahih Muslim you may ponder: “Do not write anything from me; whoever has written anything from me other than the Qur’aan, let him erase it and narrate from me, for there is nothing wrong with that.” (Narrated by Muslim, al-Zuhd wa’l-Raqaa’iq, 5326) And the Quran says: “Is it not enough for them that We have revealed to you the Book which is recited to them? Most surely there is mercy in this and a reminder for a people who believe” ( Al Quran # 29:51) Prophet Muhammad was commanded to guide people only by the revelations he received as ‘Wahy’, as is said in the verse below: “Say, "I am warning you in accordance with divine inspiration (wahy). However, the deaf cannot hear the call, when they are warned”” (Al Quran # 21#45) Quranic verses are self explanatory as is said in the verses below; arguably, Prophet Muhammad, pbuh, himself could not have said anything to be written down except Quran as a guidance to mankind. "Shall I seek other than God as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed?" (Al Quran #6:114) “One day We shall raise from all Peoples a witness against them, from amongst themselves: and We shall bring thee as a witness against these (thy people): and We have sent down to thee the Book explaining all things, a Guide, a Mercy, and Glad Tidings to Muslims” ( Al Quran # 16 : 89) And shockingly, the Prophet will complain against his people on the day of judgement as is said in the verse below: ‘AND the Apostle will say "O my Sustainer! Behold, my people have come to regard this Qur'an as something [that ought to be] discarded !"’ ( Al Quran # 25:30) The words Sunnah and Hadith both exist in the Quran not to mean Prophet’s sayings and practices; rather, only to mean God’s system/laws and narratives/statements. Here are some verses of the Quran one may study and think about: "These are God's revelations that We recite to you truthfully. In which HADITH other than God and His revelations do they believe?"(Al Quran #45:6) “Such is GOD's system (Sunnah of Allah) throughout history, and you will find that GOD's system (Sunnah of Allah) is unchangeable” (Al Quran # 48:23) Here is a video from a Saudi Scholar, Shaikh Hasan Farhan Al Maliki on his findings on ‘Hadiths’ worth listening: Scholars agree that ‘Book of Hadiths’ contains lot of weak and fabricated Hadiths’. Recently, Shaikh Salman, King of Saudi Arabia, issued a decree to appoint a committee consisting of scholars from all over the world to scrutinize sayings and practices of Prophet Muhammad ( contained in Hadith Books) in a view to curb extremism. Saudi scholars to vet teaching of prophet Muhammad to curb extremism. Here are some beliefs and practices in some Muslim communities/countries which are non-existent in the Quran but originate from books of Hadith and ‘scholars’ interpretations: 1. Killing of apostates 2. So called blasphemy law 3. Stoning to death for adultery where mostly women are the victims 4. Muta and Misyar marriages which are preconditioned temporary marriages 5. Shortening of Prayers while on vacation/pleasure trip; despite God’s clear commandment to shorten the prayer only if there is a fear of attack from the enemies (verse 4:100-101) 6. Sectarian violence 7. Sex with slave girls/female war captives without marriage 8. Forced conversion 9. Jizya from the non-Muslim citizens 10. Tripple Talaq in one go and so called Halala 11. Drinking camel urine cures disease 12. Prophet Muhammad married Ayesha (R) when she was six years old, and consummated the marriage when she was nine years old 13. Prophet Muhammad had concubines 14. A woman could breast-feed any adult man (non-Mahram), at least 5 times to make him Mahram And many more… EDIT: Shaikh Hasan Farhan Al Maliki, the scholar in the video above, is currently in death row in a Saudi prison for his non-traditional interpretation of the Quranic texts, and for being vocal against the Hadiths’ which are not in conformity with the Quran Saudi Dissident Muslim Scholar Hassan al-Maliki Facing Death Penalty

Prophet (pbuh) ordered his companions to copy his actions and probably that’s why he didn’t want them to write everything because writing could cause problem later on and Muslims could be divided into sects soon. And Allah ordered every Muslim to follow Quran and Sunnah. People who are not following sunnah, they are not even reading Quran because Quran orders Muslims to follow prophet’s teachings

One could argue that the Talmud superceded the Torah and pure Mosaic law, so when Jesus PBUH came to restore the law of Moses, he stood in contravention to the Scribes and Pharisees, who had changed God's law by re-writing parts of the Torah and introducing innovations by way of the Talmud. So the establishment of the Talmud and its emergence as the primary Jewish text was a contributing factor for Jesus' mission. So there is certainly value in learning about it, not just in the sense of better understanding Judaism, but also how the Talmud fits into prophethic history. It's also a test case of what happens when innovation and the dictates of clerics seeps into the revealed religion, mixes with it and overcomes it.

Regarding your point at 17:00, I live in Jerusalem and I've experienced how some Ultra Orthodox Jewish men would even refuse to look women in the eye; they usually look askance when talking to them. Some Westerner women take this to be offensive and demeaning as they think the Orthodox men don't think them worthy to look at.

A very clear and accurate presentation. 2 corrections: I think you downplayed the role of the Bible in Jewish Study. While the Talmud is the central text insofar as legal matters are concerned, its discussions are constantly interfacing with the Bible for both legal and moral matters. In modern editions of the Talmud there is a section on the margin where all the verses cited on a given page are quoted in full, ranging from 4 to 30 quotations per page. This is aside from independent study of the bible, which is still significant (mostly for moral teachings). The talmud requires reviewing the weekly portion of the Pentateuch with a commentary or translation. Regarding physical contact with those of the opposite gender (it goes both ways), the details are not so clear cut. Some authorities will permit things like handshakes when it is for business purposes and it could cause great discomfort otherwise.

Thank you for the addition. The Islamic ruling regarding handshake is similar.

Good clarification. The obscure Gemara brought to light. Presumably the Mishnah touches only on the laws in the Torah and not the history therein. I heard you mention Daf Yomi in one of your over 2 hour long interviews but couldn't make out the words as I had never heard of them before. All is clear now. I had also seen a video of an event which was described as celebrating the culmination of the cycle of learning of the Torah. I now understand. Apparently it's called Siyum HaShas and it takes seven and half years to complete the study of the 2,711 pages of the Talmud, one page a day. Have patience, Paul.

Again I'm amazed Paul that you tell the truth in the most eloquent way i hope the people of all nations see it and understand it Ameen.

Dear brother Paul. I agree totally with you that one should read about a religion from its own sources. And nog from haters or other faith. But also summary text can give you just a glimpse. And usually avoid any controversial topics or any bad content. Like in churches they only say God is love and avoid any contradictions in the text. So reading the whole text helps. Then reading critical texts about it and answers from believers as to those questions or critique

Dear Paul. Talmud for idiots is a good intro of the tulmud, except that it does not mention controvertible verses or topics. E.g old testament, for idiots would not mention that there are verses were Samuel ordered to kill men women, enfants ,babies donkeys etc. Do it is just an intro from one side of the story. reading a critique of the tulmud Is like hearing the other side where the negative parts are mentioned. Reading the original complete text is also more fair, like reading the whole bible and see what we understand from it instead of hearing what the church want us to know.

So when a person seeking the truth comes to them with a bribe, they judge his case by the Book of Allah, but when a person comes to them seeking to do evil with a bribe, they take out the other (distorted) book, in which it is stated that he is in the right. When someone comes to them who is not seeking what is right, nor offering them bribe, then they enjoin righteousness on him. This is why Allah said to them, أَتَأْمُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْبِرِّ وَتَنسَوْنَ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَتْلُونَ الْكِتَـبَ أَفَلَ تَعْقِلُونَ Enjoin you Al-Birr (piety and righteousness and every act of obedience to Allah) on the people and you forget (to practice it) yourselves, while you recite the Scripture (the Tawrah)!

Old Testament: The Single Author Theory The Old Testament, or Hebrew Bible, narrates the history of the people of Israel over about a millennium, beginning with God’s creation of the world and humankind, and contains the stories, laws and moral lessons that form the basis of religious life for both Jews and Christians. For at least 1,000 years, both Jewish and Christian tradition held that a single author wrote the first five books of the Bible-Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy-which together are known as the Torah (Hebrew for “instruction”) and the Pentateuch (Greek for “five scrolls”). That single author was believed to be Moses, the Hebrew prophet who led the Israelites out of captivity in Egypt and guided them across the Red Sea toward the Promised Land. Yet nearly from the beginning, readers of the Bible observed that there were things in the so-called Five Books of Moses that Moses himself could not possibly have witnessed: His own death, for example, occurs near the end of Deuteronomy. A volume of the Talmud, the collection of Jewish laws recorded between the 3rd and 5th centuries A.D., dealt with this inconsistency by explaining that Joshua (Moses’ successor as leader of the Israelites) likely wrote the verses about Moses’ death. “That's one opinion among many,” says Joel Baden, a professor at Yale Divinity School and author of The Composition of the Pentateuch: Renewing the Documentary Hypothesis. “But they're already asking the question-was it possible or not possible for [Moses] to have written them?” By the time the Enlightenment began in the 17th century, most religious scholars were more seriously questioning the idea of Moses’ authorship, as well as the idea that the Bible could possibly have been the work of any single author. Those first five books were filled with contradictory, repetitive material, and often seemed to tell different versions of the Israelites’ story even within a single section of text. As Baden explains, the “classic example” of this confusion is the story of Noah and the flood (Genesis 6:9). “You read along and you say, I don’t know how many animals Noah took on the ark with him,” he says. “In this sentence it says two of every animal. In this sentence, he takes two of some animals and 14 of any animals.” Similarly, the text records the length of the flood as 40 days in one place, and 150 days in another. READ MORE: Discovery Shows Early Christians Didn't Always Take the Bible Literally The Old Testament: Various Schools of Authors To explain the Bible’s contradictions, repetitions and general idiosyncrasies, most scholars today agree that the stories and laws it contains were communicated orally, through prose and poetry, over centuries. Starting around the 7th century B.C., different groups, or schools, of authors wrote them down at different times, before they were at some point (probably during the first century B.C.) combined into the single, multi-layered work we know today. Of the three major blocks of source material that scholars agree comprise the Bible’s first five books, the first was believed to have been written by a group of priests, or priestly authors, whose work scholars designate as “P.” A second block of source material is known as “D”-for Deuteronomist, meaning the author(s) of the vast majority of the book of Deuteronomy. “The two of them are not really related to each other in any significant way,” Baden explains, “except that they're both giving laws and telling a story of Israel's early history.” According to some scholars, including Baden, the third major block of source material in the Torah can be divided into two different, equally coherent schools, named for the word that each uses for God: Yahweh and Elohim. The stories using the name Elohim are classified as “E,” while the others are called “J” (for Jawhe, the German translation of Yahweh). Other scholars don't agree on two complete sources for the non-priestly material. Instead, says Baden, they see a much more gradual process, in which material from numerous smaller sources was layered together over a longer period of time

Wow this was truly interesting...i heard abt the talmud before, but i didn't know what is it about tho ...

In relation to Paul's comment regarding "divine law written by humans" in the Jewish tradition - this also applies to the "Shari'ah" (better described as Muslim law) in similar ways since all of it too is interpreted and written down by humans.

Yes. But Muslims don't claim that the books written by scholars (which are known along with the Quran and hadith as the sharia) are from god. Muslims insist that the source of everything remain the Quran and the Hadith and everything else is derived from them through human understanding, and is open for debate. In addition, my understanding is that the Talmud is one book (in many volumes I think) but for the sharia there are many many books, and not one of them alone has any special condition (apart from the Quran itself).

I've heard an interesting fact about the Talmud, Quraan in verse 5:32 says "Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors." The interesting this is that this verse is not in Torah as one would expect, its actually in Talmud. Does that mean Quraan approves on the divine origin of the Talmud?

The difference is, in the Talmud stand, when I rightly remember this . When you kill a Jew is that you killed all the Mankind ! When you save a Jew is like you save all Mankind ! This means only Jews and not Gentiles or other people. 👺The Devil is always in the Detail. 👉🏻My God is a Just God In Quran stand, where kill a innocent Human is like you killed all mankind, where save a innocent Human is like you save all mankind !!! Think with the Quran version you can life, and they don’t Must died.

We must not forget the influence of Israʼiliyyat (in Arabic: اسرائیلیات‎ "of the Israelites") In hadith studies. Israʼiliyyat (in Arabic: اسرائیلیات‎ "of the Israelites") are narratives assumed to be of foreign import. These narratives appear frequently in Qur'anic commentaries, In hadith, Sufi narratives, history compilations, and in culuture in general. I think the relationship between men and women was also affected by Israʼiliyyat includıng shaking hands.

Professor Israel Shahak ( a Jewish person himself) told us what we need to know about Judaism. (His book *"Jews and Judaism: The Weight Of 3000 Years"* . Last time I checked it's free on the internet PDF. *It's an excellent read* )

I suggest you use sefaria, it is a free app with the entire judaica. entire talmud, bible, midrash etc.

This guy is pretty cool. This show made me think that as a normal guy I am pretty free, but where do most people get their culture and how do we do so good getting along without all this stuff. I guess we get songs from the radio or where ever instead and it seems to work pretty good.

Thank you Paul. As usual, very informative. My personal take is that Muslim traditions, both canonical and accepted, are much closer to Conservative and Orthodox Judaism. But, unfortunately (and I am generally speaking) we see no reciprocity from them except from those who know and accept the fact that it is Islam that helped them refine Jewish traditions and establish a common Tanach during Muslim Spain period.

No mention of the Tikunei haZohar?

It would be nice to dig into the difference between two version of God talking to Moses Vs God talking to Moses and Israelites as group? Was the whole group addressed by God directly or was it only Moses?

Is there any good reliable website where I can read the Talmud , any recommendation?

Oral Torah "Torah She-be- Al peh" in Islamic scholar teaching was commonly well known as Hadist Qudsi or Oral Qoran. Whereas Misnah Torah in Islamic terms is Prophet's Sunnah (Islamic practical or tradition from life's story of prophet Mohammad Pbuh)

That verse was talking about the previous books that was sent down but was written, got rid of, changed by earlier priests or rabbis in their books because when God sent down its not only to come out with new laws but to confirm what was sent before. Just like how the first gospel was sent to Jesus to confirm what was already corrupted in the torah as it was changed.

But I respect brother John. Great work for discussing the truth and keeping and open mind.

Daf, in arabic means book cover or a page, Youmy in arabic is yawm= day.

I think you can consider it as Hadith, the authentic words and commands of a prophet is considered the words and commands of God and considered part of the revelation and contains wisdom which was tough to the prophet to teach it to his followers, specifically if he is the messenger of the major book of lows.

Didn't know that there was a written and oral revelation. Talmud, the oral revelation with commentary, laws or instructions for day to day living seem to me like Sharia law. However, Sharia is not a revelation, but laws or instructions drawn up by the Islamic scholars. My understanding is that muslim countries that apply Sharia law, create their own local laws within its framework. Hence, Sharia law may not be exactly the same in each and every country. Years back googled and figured out Tawraet or Torah was Old Testament. Along with it came across Mishneh and Talmud but didn't know what these texts were about. Thanks a lot. Learnt quite a bit. Now if I get Talmud, I'll know what is about.

Thank you so much 🤗 Allah u Akbar Will you please dat something about the letter from profet Mohammed pbuh to the monks of Saint Catherine keep up the good work greetings from the Netherlands

Brilliant!!

The best English translation of meanings is noble Quran, printed by king Fahd complex. It’s translation of meanings, thus, we need a senior scholar who knows the Tafser and then translate .

Oral law is similar to the hadith?

Paul. The Central Figure in the Jewish Religion was Rabbi Akiva. Rabbi Akiva was Akiva the Convert. He was a convert to the Jewish religion . (I am not sure if it is known from what culture he was from , he was First century ?) Also if you ever get a book on what were Torah practices were like at the time of The Prophet Muhammad you will be shocked. They faced Jerusalem when they prayed and followed the same rules of loans and charging interest as Islam today. And of course Maimonides the greatest Jewish philosopher was Saladin's physician.

Do you see similarity of the idea of Mishnah and Sunnah ... both are second divine book for the follower .. that what Qoura'n criticized in the Ayah you mentioned ... the Muslim did the same thing .. making the book written by humans as religion ....

Thank you Paul Just as some additional information the Babylonian Talmud (as opposed to Jerusalem Talmud) was compiled under the Muslim rulers of Abbasid dynasty, by compilers called Geonims who were the Jewish leaders of the time. Such was the freedom given to Jews under the Muslim rulers. As a matter of fact the 200 years of the “ golden age “ of Jews in the CE era were wholly under the Muslim rulers of Arabian and Spanish peninsula.

The Talmud is dated to have been complied in the early 6th century- that is almost 100 years before Muhammad was born.

Spot on intro! A rationalist orthodox will not argue that the whole talmud from Moshe. The Torah says to follow the Judges and this is understood as the Sanhedrin (which the Mishna is supposed to reflect.) and only in this sense is talmud understood as "divine." Daf Yomi is fun but a poor way to really understand Jewish law. Its great way to learn about the rabbis and see things they argued about.

@@toviasaverstein639 Well it was instituted by rabbi meir shapiro and i think the idea was that it would unify the jewish people, that wherever you go people would be learning the same thing, which is a big plus. I personally did the dirshu program where you get tested every 30 days on the 30 daf which forces you to learn it properly AND do revision alot in order that you retain it. There are many methods out there in making the most of daf hayomi geared to remembering it, but yes this does need alot of time and dedication. The other thing to say about this is what is the other option, going slowly? but then most people will never finish shas in their lifetime which is a tragedy. Before the war it was much more common to learn the shas from a very young age, but i guess rabbi shapiro saw that people were slowing down and he made a way to ensure that at least shas would be learnt by everyone albeit at a later age when the memory is not so good. One last thing, even those who only spend an hour or so on it still do remember quite alot as long as that hour is spend learning with energy and focus and not just sitting at the back of a shiur and passively letting the learning in. Im sure there is much more to say on this, but these are by thoughts :)

How many times of revisions on Torah?

The Babylonian Talmud and Jerusalem Talmud are written in two different dialects of Aramaic, the Jerusalem Talmud is also missing a few tractates and in some legal rulings they contradict but the law is that when they contradict you should refer to the Bavli’s ruling over the Yerushalmi’s, also, the Talmud doesn’t add an extra set of laws, it was a recording of the Oral law and it is the divinely inspired interpretation of the Oral Law(the Mishna) and the Written Law(the Torah)

Regarding written and oral Torah, Quran in this verse did not mention Torah. So it is not relevant to ask which Torah, written or oral.

I was also completely ignorant about this. I have heard about Talmud, however didn't know what it's. From your description Talmud sounds more like Sunnah (Hadith) in relation to Quran.
