Let Us Reason - A Christian/muslim Dialogue

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.

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.
