The Lord's Prayer & The Opening Chapter of the Quran | Dr. Shabir Ally & Dr. Safiyyah Ally

Dr. Shabir Ally and Dr. Safiyyah Ally explore the striking similarities between the Lord’s Prayer and Surah Al-Fatihah in the Quran. Both prayers, frequently recited by Christians and Muslims, emphasize glorifying God, seeking His guidance, and asking for forgiveness and protection from misguidance. A key difference is that the Lord’s Prayer begins with “Our Father,” whereas Surah Al-Fatiha refers to God as “Rabb” (Lord), aligning with Islamic theology. Despite this, the prayers share a nearly identical structure, reinforcing the centrality of God’s dominion and mercy in both traditions. Dr. Shabir highlights how phrases like “Hallowed be thy name” in the Lord’s Prayer parallel the glorification of God’s names in Surah Al-Fatiha. Requests for divine will, sustenance, and guidance also align closely. He argues that rather than being a mere adaptation, the Quran deliberately echoes familiar themes while presenting them within its own theological framework.

No Verse Forgotten | Quran 11:12 | Misunderstood Quranic Verses | Dr. Shabir Ally

Dr. Shabir Ally discusses Quran 11:12, which warns Prophet Muhammad not to omit or neglect any part of the revelation due to objections from critics. He explores the broader topic of Quranic abrogation, a concept in classical Islamic scholarship that suggests some verses were superseded or made obsolete. Dr. Shabir critiques this theory, particularly the idea that certain verses were once part of the Quran but are no longer recited or considered part of divine revelation. He argues that such claims contradict the essence of verse 11:12, which emphasizes the permanence of revealed verses. Without clear evidence that God or the Prophet instructed the omission of specific verses, Dr. Shabir finds the abrogation theory problematic and insists that Quranic revelation remains fixed and enduring. He further explains that abrogation theories emerged as scholars attempted to reconcile perceived tensions between Quranic verses or between the Quran and known Islamic practices. However, he asserts that any claim of abrogation must be as firmly established as the revelation itself, which is not the case. Verse 11:12 serves as a strong counterargument to abrogation, reinforcing the idea that once a verse is revealed, it must remain part of the Quran and cannot be disregarded.

God and the Throne | Quran 10:3 | Misunderstood Quranic Verses | Dr. Shabir Ally

Dr. Shabir Ally discusses Quran 10:3, which states that God "mounted the throne," and explores three traditional scholarly interpretations. The first approach, attributed to Imam Malik, advises believing in the statement without questioning its meaning. The second, a literal interpretation, suggests that God physically sits on a throne, though this view is less common and often criticized for anthropomorphism. The third and most widely accepted interpretation is figurative, understanding the throne as a symbol of God's supreme authority and control over the universe rather than a physical seat. Dr. Shabir personally favors the figurative interpretation, arguing that descriptions of God should not be taken in a human-like sense. He highlights that metaphorical language is used in the Quran to convey divine attributes in a way humans can understand. He encourages open discussion on these differing views and emphasizes the importance of unity among Muslims rather than division over interpretative differences.

From Our Viewers

I'm a graduate student in psychology and I started reading more in depth of the Holy Quran. I'm constantly making connections between the Holy Quran and renowned theories in the world of psychology. Thank you so much for your all your work. It has helped me to foster a deeper understanding of this peaceful religion!

I’ve often commented on your videos. I have some news. I took my shahadah three weeks ago now and have accepted Islam. My decision was of course not just based on your videos, but they were a great source of information to me, so thank you. My ultimate goal was and is to serve God. I found that I could do that best in Islam. I’m a European white woman (not that it matters) and am compelled to say my decision was in no way influenced by or for anyone else.

The show answers so many questions and helps me to see the truth of Islam, as opposed to the many rumours that are floating around out there. And most especially in Canada, seeing a woman leading the direction of each show puts to rest all the rumours about how Muslim woman are treated badly.  

Jeremy R

I really love your videos. I am not a Muslim myself but just learning more about Islamic theology has given me a greater understanding and respect for the faith. And the two Dr. Allys have a really great perspective on life in general.
