Let Us Reason - A Christian/muslim Dialogue

Using (Quran 36:14), Al Fad talks about six muslim commentators and who they say Paul was.  In this verse of the Quran,most of these commentators say that Allah or Jesus sent these three messengers: Simon, John and Paul to Antioch. He is doing this because of all the false claims muslims say about Paul.  He also reads some Facebook live comments and answers them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi interviews Anthony Rogers who tells his testimony about how he came to faith in Christ.  They also talk about how the old testament talks about the trinity and the divinity of Christ.  He also answers the unitarians on John 17:3. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi discusses more edits,corrections and modifications on one manuscript called the Doha;Qatar manuscript. First he gives four examples using Q 6:91-97. Second he talks about post production insertions using Q 5: 93; where an entire phrase was written on top of another.  You can listen for more details on the subject and also watch the 9 episode series on Cirainternational u-tube channel.  All this shows that the perfect preservation of the Quran as muslims claim is questionable.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi discusses two examples on the early Quranic manuscript corrections based on the book by Dr. Daniel Alan Brubaker; Corrections in Early Quranic Manuscripts.  Today he talks about erasures and insertions.  1. Quran 42: 21, a word (a pronoun) was changed from singular to plural. 2. Quran 30:9 ; a word was erased and nothing was written in its place.  Al asks three questions: First: Why was the correction necessary? Second: What was the intentions behind it? Third: Who authorised this correction? All this causes a lot of damage to the picture muslims paint of the Quran's preservation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al continues to talk about the corrections that have been made to the early Quranic manuscript based on a book by a scholar Dr Daniel Drubaker.  If we use the same argument that muslim used to conclude that the Bible is been corrupted we can conclude that the Quran is been corrupted.  So the tables have been turned and the muslim claim that the Quran has been preserved is no longer apply.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Muslims believe that Mohammad was given a universal message, yet there is no verse in the Quran to prove it.  On the contrary , the Quran says that he was sent to the Arabs; his own people.  The Hadith says that Mohammad was a universal prophet and this was invented in a later time.  Listen as Al Fadi explains it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi talks about a new series on CIRA International u-tube channel with Jay Smith discussing the corrections in early Quranic manuscripts .  The discussion is also based on a book by Daniel Allen Brubaker; Corrections in early Quranic manuscripts. Al discusses a couple of these corrections and peoples reactions to them especially muslims. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi continues his answering the muslims who claim that Jesus prayed like muslims do by falling on his face to the ground  in Matthew 26: 39.  Jesus was not praying a muslim prayer because for one reason he was praying to the father,who muslims deny that God is a father. Listen to hear more answers on this topic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi answers a Facebook post ; a 24 hour challenge on prayer.  Muslims use Matthew 26: 39 to claim Jesus fell down on his face and prayed like Muslims do. Al Fadi argued that: 1. Jesus lived before Islam. 2. Jesus prayed to the Father which no Muslim agree that God is a father. 3. Jesus prayed in a variety of ways,and he also taught his disciples to pray saying our father.  That claim is taken out of context as Al explains.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
