New Podcast Let Us Reason - A Christian/Muslim Dialogue

Al Fadi goes through in details of how the scholars view the variations between the Sanaa(Palimpsest) manuscripts and the the 1924 Cairo Quran.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi explains why the common belief by muslims that the Quran is perfectly preserved is not true.  He goes through the studies of the two oldest manuscripts(Paris, Sanaa).  He talks about the variations between the two manuscripts and the modern 1924 edition of the Quran.  He concludes that the Quran as we know it today is in no way possible perfect and complete; but went through a process of modification and the cannonization of theQuran was done in phases.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi discusses a post about the islamic teaching that all prophets are sinless. He asks the question; did the Quran ever say anything about who is sinless? Who is the only person that was called sinless in the Quran? Al also talks about the cirainternational u-tube channel and its purpose.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi explains in an honor and shame culture of the Middle East, the norm is defined by the society not by the individual. He uses example from the Bible to explain.  He urges christians to understand the concept so they can reach out to their neighbors from muslim background with the gospel effectively.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi presents a challenge; Is the Quran the only scripture preserved by God? Using Islamic sources Al Fadi discusses how they reveal that the Islamic claim that the Quran is perfectly preserved is not true. He talks about the differences and variations between the six different Quranic texts found and the modern 1924 Cairo Quran.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi starts a new series which meant to be a companion to a video series he did with Jay Smith. What do muslims believe about the Quran? Al Fadi answers the question and asks these challenging questions; what Islamic source says that Othman's Quran was the first to be compiled? What dialect did Othman choose and why?Was there an earlier compilation of the Quran? Do we have a copy of Othman Quran today?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi finishes the last discussion on the unknown history of Islam.  He explains the role of the Umayad Khalief, Abid Al Malik, had on the religion of islam.  He asks many questions including why was there no written muslim sources until 200 years later. He compares this with the life of Jesus.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why are there two hundred years before we can find any muslim resources? No eyewitness accounts. Why are the muslim geographical resources so few and confusing? Why are the mention of vegetation that are not found in Mecca? Why was Mecca not mentioned before Petra? Al Fadi tries to answer these questions and concludes that much of what we know about early Islam is questionable.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi explains why Petra is the highly plausible city which muslims faced when they prayed(qibla).  He discusses the four directions(qiblas) that mosques faced through the early centuries of Islam.  Why were the early qiblas more accurate?  Does the evidence support the Quran's claims about Mohammad and Mecca? What do historians conclude about Islam and its prophet?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
