    Thanks for this video. Noted a mistake (I'm Muslim). The Qur'an does not say that Ismael was the favored son, neither does it say that Isaac was favored. Also, in certain early interpretations of the Qur'an, it was Isaac who was almost sacrificed (although today's mainstream interpretation is that it was Ismael). Also noting that the "stoning of the devil" is the only Hajj ritual that is not mentioned in the Qur'an.

The legend of Azi Dahak Trace back to 1000 BC, Book the book of Genesis was written around 1500 BC, all biblical scholars agree on that, therefore the story of Genesis is much older. Also the meaning of the name "Azi Dahak" is uncertain, the meaning of name "Satan" means accuser. Azi Dahak, it is said to have three mouths, Six Eyes and Three heads. But nowhere in the Bible it says that Satan has six eyes three mouths and 3 heads, in the Book of Revelation it says that Satan has seven heads, but thats a symbolic meaning. Lastly, Azi Dahak, is the son of Angra Mainyu, Ahuras Mazdas's foe. But Satan he's actually an angel, also son of God. In conclusion, we can clearly see that the Bible is not based from Zoroastrianism.

    Hi! Can you explain to me how Islam claims that Ishmael is the preferred son? There is no evidence or statement textually to suggest that. Both Ishmael and Isaac are considered prophets to their people. Ishmael was the first born and married into Arabs whereby his children were Arab naturalized. The only prophet from the lineage of Ishmael is Muhammad. Isaac on the other hand according to the Quran and bible has in his lineage Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Zakariya and John the Baptist. The question in Islam has never been about preferred son. The Islamic belief is that Ishmael was the sacrificial lamb as he was the eldest son, but this doesn’t suggest that he is preferred. Just wanted to point that out.

    sonofagun00 It’s Not that Ishmael was a preferred per se, Ishmael was first born son, so the event of sacrificed naturally happens to him. First born son are Always the dearest, that’s just natural to make it difficult for Abraham to do the sacrifice. Second, in Genesis 21:18 the story clearly shows that when Hagar was searching for water for Ishmael in the desert and angel told her he will have a great nation. This is a prophesy that something good will happen. Eventually, Ishmael sons followed Abraham’s teaching and centuries passed till one man ruled Macca and brought the pagans to worship them thus breaking the teachings of Abraham. Also, In Isaiah 21: 13-17 Claims that “the burden on Arabs” So what is that burden? It’s clearly means a prophecy that Arabs will carry a religion task align with trenching of prophets in Israel. That’s the reason there was Jews in Madina (a city north of Macca). It is mentioned in Isaiah 42:11 clearly shows that people of Sala should sing of joy... and Sala is a mountain in Madina. Jews were waiting for a prophet to appear in Madina AND who is descendant of Ishmael. But reality is A portion of Jews rejected Prophet Muhammad just as their ancestors rejected Jesus as the messiah, keep in mind that both of them seen their miracles and rejected their prophesies

    There was never unanimous agreement among scholars that Ishmael (as) was the son to be sacrificed. By far, the majority opinion is that it was Ishmael (as), but the Qur'an does not actually specify. The episode, however is placed among verses about him. The very earliest opinions, those of the Prophet's (saws) companions, were more evenly divided on the matter. I have always considered it a needless point of division. If God wanted muslims to know, if it mattered, He would have specified it. None of us were present. Allah knows, and we do not. I do not expect you to know that little fun fact, since your area of expertise seems to be early Christianity. I enjoy your channel and appreciate this installment at this very important occasion for muslims.

    If you want details about the Black Stone: The Black Stone (Arabic: ٱلْحَجَرُ ٱلْأَسْوَد‎, al-Ḥajaru al-Aswad, "Black Stone") is a rock set into the eastern corner of the Kaaba, the ancient building located in the center of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is revered by Muslims as an Islamic relic which, according to Muslim tradition, dates back to the time of Adam and Eve. The stone was venerated at the Kaaba in pre-Islamic pagan times. According to Islamic tradition, it was set intact into the Kaaba's wall by the prophet Muhammad in 605 CE, five years before his first revelation. Since then it has been broken into fragments and is now cemented into a silver frame in the side of the Kaaba. Its physical appearance is that of a fragmented dark rock, polished smooth by the hands of pilgrims. Islamic tradition holds that it fell from heaven as a guide for Adam and Eve to build an altar. It has often been described as a meteorite. The Black Stone is attached to the east corner of the Kaaba, known as al-Rukn al-Aswad (the Corner of the Black Stone). Another stone, known as the Hajar as-Sa’adah (Stone of Felicity) is set into the Kaaba's opposite corner, al-Rukn al-Yamani (the Yemeni Corner), at a somewhat lower height than the Black Stone. The choice of the east corner may have had ritual significance; it faces the rain-bringing east wind (al-qabul) and the direction from which Canopus rises. There are many theories regarding the Black Stone; The meteorite-origin theory of the Black Stone has seen it likened by some writers to the meteorite which was placed and worshipped in the Greek Temple of Artemis.(more research needed) Islamic tradition holds that the Black Stone fell from Jannah to show Adam and Eve where to build an altar, which became the first temple on Earth. Muslims believe that the stone was originally pure and dazzling white, but has since turned black because of the sins of the people who touch it. Its black colour is deemed to symbolize the essential spiritual virtue of detachment and poverty for God (faqr) and the extinction of ego required to progress towards God (qalb). According to a prophetic tradition, "Touching them both (the Black Stone and al-Rukn al-Yamani) is an expiation for sins." Adam's altar and the stone were said to have been lost during Noah's Flood and forgotten. Ibrahim (Abraham) was said to have later found the Black Stone at the original site of Adam's altar when the angel Jibrail revealed it to him.[16] Ibrahim ordered his son Ismael - who in Muslim belief is an ancestor of Muhammad - to build a new temple, the Kaaba, into which the stone was to be embedded. Another tradition says that the Black Stone was originally an angel that had been placed by God in the Garden of Eden to guard Adam. The angel was absent when Adam ate the forbidden fruit and was punished by being turned into a jewel - the Black Stone. God granted it the power of speech and placed it at the top of Abu Qubays, a mountain in the historic region of Khurasan, before moving the mountain to Mecca. When Ibrahim took the Black Stone from Abu Qubays to build the Kaaba, the mountain asked Ibrahim to intercede with God so that it would not be returned to Khurasan and would stay in Mecca.

It believes in equality of humanity, respect for all religion, equality of gender, protection of the weak and taking care of most vulnerable in society a selfless way. Core Principles taught to us by Guru Nanak Dev Ji (founder of religion) 1. Recite and meditate on God’s name and remember the infinite one. 2. Work by making an honest living 3.

    Yes he does, his name is Prophet Ishaq (Peace Be Upon Him), the son of Prophet Abraham, I don’t why the Admin of the channel said Prophet Ismail/Ishmael was the favourite, Prophet Abraham loved both his children, the Muslim belief is that Prophet Abraham/Ibrahim was unable to have children with his first wife Sarah, so he married Hagar/Hajara, from whom Prophet Ismail was born, he kept this family in Makkah. After about 10/15 years when Sarah PBUH was about 80 or 90 years old, 3 Angels, Jibraeel(Gabriel), Mikaeel(Michael), and Israfil came to the couple and gave glad tidings of a Son who’s name would be ISHAQ/ISAAC, who shall be of the Righteous and a Prophet of Allah. Allah also calls Ishaq/Isaac by the name Israel at times. Allah blessed these two sons of Abraham with Prophethood, and even gave some of their descendants Prophethood. From Isaac/Ishaq, Prophet Yaaqub/Jacob, was born who lived to see Abraham & Sarah. From Yaquub/Jacob, Prophet Yusuf/Joseph was born, and hence from the bloodline of Prophet Ishaq came many Prophets like Dawood(David), Sulayman(Solomon), and then the last one being Prophet Isaa/Jesus, (who muslims believe is Alive under Allahs Protection in Heaven and will return when Allah wills.) From the Son Ismaeel/Ishamel, there is only one Prophet who came, Prophet Muhammad PBUH, the Last of Allahs Prophets. Isaac and Ishmael are both loved and thoroughly respected by Muslims as are their Mothers Sarah and Hajar. Hope it answers the question. 💓

    There are about 1.8 billion Muslims in the world. At 2 million Hajj tickets per year, it would take 1000 years for everyone to have a single visit. If you manage to make the Hajj, you are among the privileged few.

    1:37 - As someone raised christian and now happily atheist (for the sake of providing context, not judgment), I found the different perspectives so interesting. My family are mostly Anglican and African, but I can remember often comment on how it's sad that all of this fighting is between cousins (hinting at the fact that Isaac and Ishmael were the founders of both religions, expressing bemusement that a family could have so much internal strife because family is everything, whilst simultaneously taking a dig at other cultures and saying "See! Us _Zimbabwean_ families stick together... even if we do have 2-3 wives... a maximum of 5 by law... what were we talking about again?")

    Many Syrians live in Saudi and can do both Hajj and Omrah, and Iranians can get a Hajj and Omrah visas. The so called “Stampede” was caused by a group of men intentionally “Reverse functioning” the route to the rituals. Due to the COVID-19 situation visiting Mecca is regulated even for Saudis, appointments are taken through an app to further control the safety capacity of the holy mosque.
