#Moses is a prominent figure in the #Bible and the #Quran, but Moses’ mother is also mentioned in both narratives. While she is briefly referenced in the Biblical account, the Quranic account is extensive. Dr. Shabir Ally explains that Moses’ mother is prominent as a character and person of faith. God directs, inspires and reassures her. In this moving interview (both Dr. Shabir Ally and Dr. Safiyyah Ally get emotional), you will discover the special relationship between God and the mother of Moses in the Quran. ► DONATE: http://www.quranspeaks.com/ ► SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=quranspeaks COMMENT, LIKE and SHARE Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/LetTheQuranSpeak Instagram: http://www.Instagram.com/QuranSpeaks.tv Twitter: http://www.Twitter.com/Quran_Speaks

This video will explain the differences in practice between each #Sunni school of thought. It will explore the history behind these differences and what events led to these individual schools. Dr. Shabir Ally begins by describing the emergence of the Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’ and Hambali schools of thought. He explains that location, access to the Prophet and availability of #hadiths led to differences in methodology. Interestingly, scholars have always recognized that though one school of thought might deem something to be haram or impermissible while another views it to be halal or permissible, this diversity is the product of a system of sound methodology, so each position is acceptable. Dr. Shabir explains that ultimately some points in the religion are obscure and we don’t have enough information to know what the truth is. 0:00 Introduction of viewer question by host Safiyyah Ally 0:30 Emergence of Hanafi school of thought 1:16 Emergence of Maliki school of thought 1:35 Reasons for the differences (location and access to the Prophet, companions, hadiths) 3:27 Interactions between schools of thought 4:28 Imam ash-Shafi’ 6:07 Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal 8:38 Impact on Diverse Practices 9:22 Differences do not impact theological issues 10:50 It doesn’t matter which school of thought you follow 12:51 We must be flexible because some matters are not clear and ultimately scholars don’t know ► DONATE: http://www.quranspeaks.com/ ► SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=quranspeaks #Drshabirally COMMENT, LIKE and SHARE Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/LetTheQuranSpeak Instagram: http://www.Instagram.com/QuranSpeaks.tv Twitter: http://www.Twitter.com/Quran_Speaks

How do the #Bible and #Quran depict Sarah? Dr. Shabir Ally explains why the narrative in the Quran is so short, and why Sarah isn’t mentioned by name. In both scriptures, Sarah laughs, but there’s a variation in the Quranic story: Sarah isn’t taken to task for laughing and doesn’t contradict herself. In addition, Sarah isn’t depicted as jealous of Hagar and neither does she banish her. This lively conversation between Dr. Shabir Ally and Dr. Safiyyah Ally will help you to understand the differences between the two scriptures as well as the Quran’s emphasis on extracting moral lessons from stories that were already well-known at the time of revelation. #DrShabirally ► DONATE: http://www.quranspeaks.com/ ► SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=quranspeaks COMMENT, LIKE and SHARE Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/LetTheQuranSpeak Instagram: http://www.Instagram.com/QuranSpeaks.tv Twitter: http://www.Twitter.com/Quran_Speaks

“How can we tell if the #Quran we find online is accurate and authentic?” Dr. Shabir Ally answers a viewer’s question. He differentiates between translations that are reputable and the integrity of the websites they are on. Find out his websites of choice! He lists the translations in use, including Mustafa Khattab, Muhammad Asad, Saki Kaskas, Yusuf Ali, Marmaduke Pickthall, M. A. S. Abdul Haleem, The Study Quran, A. J. Arberry, Thomas Irving, Aisha Bewley, Umm Muhammad, Safi Kaskas, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, Tarif Khalidi, E. H. Palmer, George Sale and N. J. Dawud. Finally he says it’s hard to judge whether a #website is accurately reproducing a translation, so we do have to use our #judgement. We can also ask if there are checks and balances, i.e. if the website is put together by a team, and they are invested in the project, there are more chances they’ll get it right, because their integrity is at stake. ► DONATE: http://www.quranspeaks.com/ ► SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=quranspeaks COMMENT, LIKE and SHARE Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/LetTheQuranSpeak Instagram: http://www.Instagram.com/quranspeaks.tv
