Peace be upon you
I have accepted the challenge of "Evidence of the Validity of Islam"
Offered to me by Brother Mostafa Bin Hussein, owner of the channel
"The Nation of Middle Way" [Al-Ummah Al-Wasat]
Many honorable brothers participated in this challenge
Each of them presented evidence of the validity of Islam
This is an opportunity to enhance certainty and inform people
about the greatness of this religion
And motivate them to learn, meditate, and contemplate
In order not to run out of time because I only have seven minutes in which
I shall present this challenge
Here is the challenge of the validity of Islam
I shall not talk about any miracle in this challenge, What about that?!
Let's go
[My God, the Most Generous]
If any sane person of any nation or religion looks at the biography of Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH), he will certainly know that he is a great prophet
The biography of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the most complete,
most authoritative, and greatest biography of a person in human history
The most complete biography in terms of knowing all its details and the minutiae
of his life (PBUH) in his stay and travel, at his young and old age
There is no transmitted biography more complete than his biography
While you, listener, don't remember how you were twenty years ago
You don't remember the details of your own life
Whereas Ibn Hazm wrote hundreds of pages about the description
of the Wudu [ablution] of the Prophet (PBUH)
The Companions reported that He (PBUH) coughed during his prayers!
The prophet (PBUH) got a cough, so he bowed for Ruku'
They transmitted every detail of his life (PBUH)
So, his biography is the most complete biography
His biography is also the most authoritative biography
The most authoritative in terms of transmission
It was transmitted by the most truthful people; the Companions
The Companions who were not permitting lying even in insignificant matters
They were aware that telling lies about the Prophet (PBUH)
is not like telling lies about anyone else
"Telling lies about me is not like telling lies about anyone else"
"Whoever tells a lie about me intentionally, he shall occupy his seat in Hell"
So, the Companions authoritatively transmitted every detail in his life (PBUH)
Rather, they were keen on the accuracy of every letter he said
For example, in the hadith in which the Prophet forbade
preparing wine in gourds and jars
Sufyan was asked whether the Prophet said "Yunbaza"
He said: No, he said "Yuntabaza"
[The two words mean preparing wine with slight variation in letters]
They were keen on the accuracy of every letter said by the Prophet (PBUH)
His biography is also the greatest biography
Because it is the biography of the greatest person ever walked on the earth
The greatest commander
The greatest educator
The greatest father
The greatest husband
The greatest role model
The greatest worshiper
The greatest pious
Every sane person -whatever his religion- looks at his biography (PBUH),
he will affirm that he is the greatest personality ever appeared in history
Michael Hart, the Jewish physicist, says:
"My choice of Muhammad (PBUH) to lead the list of the world's most
influential persons may surprise some readers"
"But he is indeed the most influential person in the history"
From the earliest days of the Prophet (PBUH) in the world, he suffered
various conditions such as orphanhood, poverty, and fear
Then the death of his beloved ones and guardians in his arms
And harming of him by the disbelievers through imprisonment and starvation
They imprisoned him in the valley of Abu Talib for four years
They tried to seduce him with money and leadership, and tried to kill him many times
He was reciting the Quran in their presence, while it contains insulting to their gods
They kept plotting against him, tried to assassinate him, and surrounded his house
They plotted against him in every possible way
Contemplate the saying of Allah Almighty, describing these challenges
that the Prophet (PBUH) was enduring
"They plotted their plots, but their plots are known to Allah, even if their plots
had been sufficient to remove the mountains" [Ibrahim 14:46]
Severe plotting
His family begged him to soften towards his people and stop stultifying their dreams
He (PBUH) was insisting on demolishing their falsehood
Polytheists offered him generous offers of money and leadership
Not to stop his Dawah [Call to Islam], but only to let them worship their gods
But his Dawah was a revelation, not of his own accord to give it up
in exchange for the best offer available
"And follow what is revealed to you, and be patient until Allah will judge,
and He is the best of judges" [Yunus 10:109]
He called to Allah patiently and steadfastly
They wished that he would soften towards them even once
"They wish that you would soften, so they would soften" [Al-Qalam 68:9]
They wished any reconciliation on their falsehood
He increased only insulting their disbelief
The Prophet (PBUH) and a few of his companions lived for thirteen years
among people who wanted to kill him and kill his companions at any cost
The amount of torture and harm endured by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
was never experienced by any other Prophet
After this patience and steadfastness to the truth, he brought people
back to monotheism within a generation
The monotheism that all prophets called for
He (PBUH) awoke a great nation with this call out of nowhere
A nation that conquered the kingdoms and reigned the world
He (PBUH) was the greatest of people in terms of morals, honesty, and truthfulness,
with the testimony of the disbelievers of Quraysh as well as other people
They said to him on the first day when he invited them to Islam:
Yes, we have never seen you telling other than the truth!
Because people knew very well his behavior, honesty, morals, and truthfulness
And they were seeing the signs of his prophethood
The major companions believed before seeing the miracles
Before the moon was split and before telling about unseen things
They believed and remained patient despite the severity of the torture
and starvation they suffered
Because they knew this is a divine revelation to save the world
On the first day of his call (PBUH), his wife believed
Who is the most knowledgeable person of his condition and his secret
His companion who knows him very well believed; Abu Bakr
His adopted son believed; Zaid ibn Harithah
As well as the one whom he was raising; Ali ibn Abi Talib
On the first day of his call, his closest people believed
Because they knew his behavior and was looking at what he hides and reveals
So, our Lord (Glory be to Him) said what His Prophet was telling
the disbelievers of his people
He said: "I had remained among you a lifetime before it, will you not reason?"
[Yunus 10:16]
Do you not know the man?
Do you not know the man's behavior, honesty, and truthfulness?
Do you not know the man's insight?
"Say: I only advise you of one thing - that you stand for Allah in pairs and individually"
"And then give thought"
"There is no madness in your companion"

"There is no madness in your companion"
[Saba' 34:46]
I advise you to stand for contemplation and thinking deeply
about the condition of your companion (PBUH)
Whoever contemplates his condition and behavior will know that he is a prophet
Allah Almighty told about the victory of his Prophet
and the dominance and spread of his religion
At a time when the religions of the Arabs were established
And there were the kingdoms of India, Khosrow, and Constantinople
The Arabs didn't even dream to see them, let alone spreading their religion in them!
Then Islam came and Allah opened these kingdoms to Muslims
Monotheism spread in the east and west
Looking at the biography of the Prophet (PBUH) and what he brought
is an independent proof of Allah's mercy to humanity with this religion
The world has never seen a better, greater, or more merciful religion than this religion
Whoever wants to read a good book about the Prophetic biography
I recommend him with "Al-Lu'lu' Al-Maknun fi Sirat Al-Nabi Al-Ma'mun"
[Hidden Pearls in the Biography of the Faithful Prophet (PBUH)]
You can download this book from the first link in the video description
About four volumes
One of the most beautiful and authoritative biography books
Finally, here I am offering the challenge of the validity of Islam
to my brother Radwan from Morocco
And my brother Muhammad Bin Hussein from Sudan
I also offer the challenge to the “Muslim Researchers” initiative
Kindly tell them about this challenge
Peace be upon you
"There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves
Grievous to him is what you suffer; he is concerned over you"
"And to the believers is kind and merciful"
"But if they turn away, say: sufficient for me is Allah; there is no god except Him"
"On Him I have relied"
"But if they turn away, say: sufficient for me is Allah; there is no god except Him"
"On Him I have relied, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne"
