Mubahala Curse and Prophet Muhammad's Demise - Exposing False Claims | Islamic Debate
Explore the fascinating world of Islamic history as we scrutinize the Mubahala event and its significance for Prophet Muhammad. In this deep dive into Islamic debate, we're here to debunk misconceptions and false claims that link the Mubahala challenge to the later passings of Prophet Muhammad and his family. Unveil the context, analyze inaccuracies, and discover the real story that clarifies this aspect of Islamic theology and history.
To summarize:
1) The author claims the Mubahala (curse) event was the reason the Prophet and his family died when the Mubahala was never accepted by the Christians of Najran
2) The Author claims that the Muhabala curse would occur within the first year, yet Ali, Hasan, and Hussain died decades later. Again, total disconnect and contradiction.

Isra and Mi'raj: Prophet Muhammad's Miraculous Night Journey & Ascension
The Isra' wal-Mi'raj, a miraculous journey undertaken by Prophet Muhammad, holds immense significance in Islamic history. This event, which took place in 621 CE, saw the Prophet journeying from Makkah to Jerusalem on a white-winged horse, Bur'aq, and later ascending to the heavens. The Isra', or the night journey, led the Prophet to Al Aqsa Mosque, where he met with other prophets like Abraham, Musa, and Jesus, and led them in prayer. The Mi'raj, or the ascent to the heavens, culminated in the Prophet receiving the command from Allah to pray five times a day, emphasizing the importance of faith, devotion, and the rewards of paradise.
This remarkable event, mentioned in the Quran (Surah Al Isra, 17:01), highlights the unity of all prophets and serves as a reminder of the importance of prayer in a Muslim's life. The Prophet's night journey and heavenly ascension are considered one of the greatest miracles, second only to the revelation of the Quran. Through this video, we aim to explore the events of this miraculous journey and delve into its significance in Islamic history, providing insight into the foundations of Islamic worship and the unity among prophets.

The Tragic Tale of Habil and Qabil: Learning from the First Murder in History
The story of Habil and Qabil is a timeless Quranic tale that has been passed down through generations. Habil and Qabil were the sons of Prophet Adam, and they both made a sacrifice to Allah. However, while Habil sacrificed his best sheep, Qabil offered some of his crops. Allah accepted Habil's sacrifice but rejected Qabil's. This triggered feelings of jealousy and anger in Qabil, which ultimately led to him committing the first murder in human history.
The story of Habil and Qabil is a reminder of the importance of seeking Allah's acceptance and avoiding jealousy and hatred toward others. Allah accepts only the righteous who fear Him, as Habil said, and even the smallest act of violence can have dire consequences, as Qabil learned. This story highlights the need to control our emotions, seek forgiveness for our wrongdoings, and lead a righteous life, as only the righteous will be accepted by Allah. As we strive to become better individuals, let us remember the lesson from this story and be mindful of our actions toward others.

Paradise Lost: The Quranic Story of Prophet Adam and the Forbidden Tree
The story of Prophet Adam is one that the Quran uses to convey significant moral teachings. The first man, Prophet Adam, was made of clay by Allah, and he was given access to paradise, a realm free from sin, misery, and grief. He received considerable knowledge and was permitted to eat any fruit from the garden other than from the tree that was forbidden. For Adam and his wife Hawwa, this was a trial for their obedience.
Iblis, the jinn, approached Adam and Hawwa and tempted them to eat from the forbidden tree, promising them eternal life and angelic powers if they did. When Adam and Hawwa succumbed to temptation, their bodies were suddenly exposed, and they were ashamed of what they had done. They begged Allah for forgiveness but were punished by being banished from paradise to earth.
Adam and Hawwa were forced to begin a new life on Earth. They built a shelter and started a family. Over the course of many years, Prophet Adam witnessed the expansion and spread of humanity. He taught his children and grandchildren about God's commandments and steered them in the right direction.
Three important moral lessons are taught to Muslims by the story of Prophet Adam. The first lesson is the significance of obeying God's commands and avoiding what He forbids. Following Allah's guidance is essential for success in this life and the next. The second lesson teaches about the serious consequences of sin and disobedience. Every action has repercussions, and Muslims must be conscious of their choices and actions. According to the story, even the first man, Prophet Adam, was punished for disobeying Allah's command. The third lesson emphasizes the importance of repentance and seeking Allah's forgiveness. Despite the fact that Prophet Adam disobeyed direct orders, Allah forgave him. Muslims are taught that Allah is merciful and forgiving and that if they repent sincerely, He will forgive their sins.
In conclusion, the story of Prophet Adam and the forbidden tree serves as a powerful reminder of the value of obedience, the consequences of sin and disobedience, and the importance of repentance and seeking forgiveness. It is a lesson that all Muslims should remember as they strive to follow Allah's guidance and live a righteous life.

The Fall of Iblis: Lessons on Humility and the Danger of Arrogance in Islam
In contrast to angels, who were made to worship Allah and follow His orders, jinns are spiritual beings with free will, which means they have the ability to choose between right and wrong. Iblis was formerly a pious and devoted jinn who spent ages worshiping Allah. He had a high rank, unwavering faith, and was widely regarded. Yet when he disobeyed Allah's order to prostrate himself before Prophet Adam, the first human, he met his demise and became a satan. His pride and haughtiness served as fuel for his disobedience, which resulted in his exile from Allah's presence. In this video, I've used blue fire to depict the Iblis because it's the hottest flame.
We learn the value of humility and submitting to Allah's will through the tale of Iblis. No matter how highly we consider ourselves, we must always keep in mind that Allah is the supreme authority and that, in the big scheme of things, we are only mere mortals. The only road to salvation is to be humble and obey Allah's commands, thus we should continually try to do so.
The tale also serves as a cautionary tale about the peril of falling prey to negative influences. The request made by Iblis to seduce and deceive people on Earth serves as a warning that there are wicked powers at work in the world that aim to divert us from the path of righteousness. It is up to us to be aware of these influences and maintain our commitment to the gospel.
The principle of free will is also emphasized in the Iblis narrative. Unlike angels, jinns are capable of making moral judgments. It is up to us to make good use of the gift of free will that has been given to us. No matter how challenging it can seem, we must always take the righteous route.
In conclusion, the tale of Iblis serves as a potent cautionary tale about the repercussions of haughtiness and disobedience to Allah. It teaches us the value of free will, the necessity of humility and submission to Allah's will, and the peril of being deceived by evil forces. Let's work to improve as Muslims by applying these principles to our daily lives. I appreciate your interest and hope to see you in the next video.
