In Irish the word for Jesus is "Íosa", pronounced Isa.
Waow I never knew that
Jesus is not dead The Bible is not preserved brother they made you worship Jesus and the spirit That is why God sent Islam so that people would worship him alone.
Awesome
@@ThereisnogodbutAllah- Satan sent Islam
@@ThereisnogodbutAllah- i want you to read again your comment, and edit any errors you didn't mean to say.
I've always found it interesting that in Irish and Scottish it's Íosa, which is closer to the Arabic than any other languages surrounding us. I'm more surprised that even over the centuries the anglicisation didn't even change the word like it did with many other words.
There is no evidence that Jesus' name was Yeshua .. the oldest name for Jesus in Christianity is the Greek form "Isous" Since Jesus spoke Aramaic, and the dominant language was Aramaic, and the Greeks translated the Bible and the names, so it seems that "Isous" is the Greek pronunciation of the original name of Jesus (Isa\ عيسى) without "ayin" and with Greek suffixes. P.S The letter ayin in Arabic can be several letters in Latin based on the Arabic diacritics .. for example : The letter ayin in Isa, in Latin letters as (i or e) because the diacritic in ayin is (kasrah) The letter ayin in name "Ali" in Latin letters as (A) because the diacritic in ayin is (fathah) The letter ayin in Oman in Latin letters as (O) because the diacritic in ayin is (dammah) In the Islamic world (non-Arabs) they pronounce the name of Jesus as (isa) without ayin The question is why the Greek name for Jesus "iesous" is identical to the Islamic\Arabic name "isa" ? The answer is quite simple: the Greeks translated the name from the Aramaic, which identical in form to the name and the Arabic pronunciation (isa =عيسى) with Greek suffixes and without the Semitic consonant "Ayin".
Very interesting , indeed.
In Kerala, India we call Jesus as Isow.
@@yousuf6382 You have got a very strong point... these people like to overcomplicate things especially in that matter... beating around the bush as they say
@@yousuf6382 your absolutely right...the 1st century jewish name in greek "iesous" which was actually derived from the 6th century quran name "isa". On the other hand, the ancient Biblical hebrew name "Yehoshua" (meaning Yah saves) and the truncated form of it, "Yeshua" (meaning Yah saves) which was a common name amongst the 1st century were actually fabricated by jews and historians. But an interesting question arises: Is the meaning of "Iesous" in Greek similiar to that of "isa" in arabic?
In the Quran, Jesus is mostly called "'Isa-bnu-Maryaam" to make it clear that it's Jesus son of Mary it referring to.
Isn't it isa ibn maryam
@@moosafaisal25if u say each word one by one, yes. But when read together it sounds out to be Isabnu Maryam. Both are the same
@@soranaziz8348?
Correct it to “ibnu”. Bnu means the sons of someone. Like for example, “ bnu israel”.
@@HT-md7goBanu or Bani does sound similar to ibn or bin. Which means "son of". Reason why they were called bani israel is because Prophet Yaqub or Jacob another name is israel. Some say israel means man of God or servant of God. Much like Abdullah but in Arabic. So if we were to put them together it means children of Yaqub or in other word children of Israel/children of "servant of God" This is very fascinating finding.
Hey I’m Arab and I just wanted to say that your pronunciation of Isa is so good.
kzhead.info/sun/Y9xqg7ype6KFg4U/bejne.html
i know right!
Also wrong. The Arabic name is the oldest name . Yeshua us a conjecture from Greek. Greek doesn’t the letter Ayin. Both iraq and iran sound similar in English became iraq has the letter ayin in it, they sound abs look nothing alike in Arabic. The -sus part is a Greek suffix added to names (herodotus Plotinus, etc). It’s originally iesus in Greek, exactly how it would be if someone tried to say 3’isa without having the letter ayin (3)
@@rhetoric5173interesting answer! thanks for sharing
@@rhetoric5173 you might be right because there is no evidence or manuscript in Aramaic that date to the time of jesus with the name yeshua , the only evidence we have is the Greek scripture But also good to mention that jesus is also called yeshua ( اليسوع) in quran

Isä means father in Finnish (Suomi). Nobody seems to know where Suomi came from, as it isn't Indo-European.
Jesus is prophet of God : Malachi 3:1 Jesus is a messenger Jesus came to this earth as a Messenger from God the Father: "'Behold, I send My messenger, and he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight. Behold, He is coming,' says the LORD of hosts" (Malachi 3:1). Two messengers are mentioned in this verse. The first is John the Baptist, who prepared the way for the second Messenger, "the Messenger of the covenant," Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ : a Prophet and Messenger of God in the Bible here verses from the Bible mentions Jesus Christ Peace Be Upon Him as Prophet of God : The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.” ◄ Matthew 21:11 ► “A great prophet has arisen among us!” ◄ Luke 7:16 ► The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. ◄ John 4:19 ► When they sought to seize Him, they feared the people, because they considered Him to be a prophet. ◄ Matthew 21:46 ► Therefore when the people saw the sign which He had performed, they said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.” ◄ John 6:14 ► Some of the people therefore, when they heard these words, were saying, “This certainly is the Prophet.” ◄ John 7:40 ► So they said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.” ◄ John 9:17 ► Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet ◄ Luke 24:19 ► others were saying, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” ◄ Mark 6:15 ► They answered him, “You are not also from Galilee, are you? Search, and see that no prophet arises out of Galilee.” ◄ John 7:52 ►

Sadly we have largely moved away from the formats that persist. Stone and clay tablets, papyri and manuscripts all survived to some degree. But digital information only lasts as long as it is saved somewhere that we can access. There's technology that was invented in my lifetime that is already becoming difficult to access.
@@Salsmachev Technology survives through redundancy, which I would believe to be way better than a physical characteristic, nothing beats time but redundancy comes close.
@@soujashane hi! Do you mind explaining what "survives through redundancy" mean?
@@GreenMonkeyToaster redundancy is having multiple backups or spare components, more than you would realistically need in day-to-day operations. In computing, any single point of failure could cause unwanted or unacceptable down-time, so most commercial systems (mainly servers) have multiple redundancies built in, to fall back on. So, our information survives through redundancy, in the sense that we have far more copies of texts, images, footage, etc. floating around; both on magnetic hard disks/SSDs, and on external devices, than was ever possible in the pre-digital age.

I read Dr. Al-Jallad’s article on this topic in BAR not long ago. Very cool to see you covering it! Pre-Islamic Arab Christianity is an an esoteric topic that absolutely deserves more scholarly attention.
let us talk religion does a very good job on some of those topics.
i agree that the topic deserves more attention. i believe the only reason it hasn't received much yet is because there wasn't any first hand evidence such a phenomena was even occurring: until now. perhaps this first hand account corroborates some - maybe all - of the second hand accounts! this one find may have opened up a door of evidence to a room full of great treasures! i can't wait to learn more!
@@yousuf6382 Your argument makes little sense because it would imply that the Hebrew language didnt exist at the time anymore. Aramaic may have been the predominant language in Israel in the year 0.

Its a common argument from islamic revisionists.

As an interesting side-note, the name of Jesus in Gaelic (Irish language) is Íosa, the letter "o" being a reminder that the following "s" is pronounced as "s" and not as "sh". It is not totally surprising that there is a correspondence with Arabic. The Gaelic language is said generally to be an Indo-European language, based on its vocabulary but it has one strange anomaly. Its syntax agrees closely with classical Arabic and Biblical Hebrew. Just another strange item. It would appear the the god Bel was worshiped in Ireland in pre-Christian times. His name is found in the Gaelic name for the month of May, Bealtaine, meaning fire of Bel.
It is interesting that you mention The god Bel or Bal because in parts of Lebanon they used to worship an idol named Ba’l (with a ayn). That was ancient history but the Lebanese village still today is called Ba’l-bak, or “Baalbek” basically translating to ‘Baal’s valley.” The Phoenicians brought Baal into Lebanon
Indo-Eoropean and Semetic are lies. I realized this when I started to learn Ancient Persian. while learning this thousands years language I went for Russian and Arabic and Suddenly I realized their Grammers are so familiar. I am working on the Sanskrit and ancient Greece but by times I understand these languages are too familiar too. We all came from one language one country one culture. just we forgot it.
@Car Lover we have Iso too in Iran
@@abdoo3301 not just celts. all people in the world. Humanity stared from Iraq Syria turkey and Iran. Humans like to travel. So by time Celts did not traveled from Middle East to Europe west. They say probably they came from East of Turkey which Arabs came from North of Iraq. So close right?
*Who explains to us why the Koran says Christians believe God has a biological son!* To all Muslims! Son of God means NOT SON! What is called the son of God is the word of God = god himself! Which has nothing to do with a child (son)! Thus, the Son of God is incarnated as the human Jesus and the human Jesus is therefore referred to as a son, which does not mean a son!
Great video, I love Ahmad al Jallad's work. He has been interviewed many times on different yt channels and the idea of finding ancient inscriptions to shed light on the pre-Islamic period is super interesting. It seems to be an up and coming field and more and more discoveries are made and studied all the time. I recommend looking at his other lectures and interviews. Also I didn't know that the name Yahya had a pre-Islamic history as well. Very interesting indeed.
The first video on Jesus real name was fantastic and I actually brought 2 new fans to the channel with it.
Awesome! I'm currently obsessed with linguistics and religious studies, so expect more vids in this vein.
@@ReligionForBreakfast 🐟 02. A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF “LIFE”: Everything, both perceptible and imperceptible - that is, any gross or subtle OBJECT within the material universe that can possibly be perceived with the cognitive faculties, plus the SUBJECT (the observer of all phenomena) - is unknowingly to what most persons generally refer when they use the term “God”, since they usually conceive of Ultimate Reality as being the Perfect Person, and “God” is a personal epithet of the Impersonal Absolute. However, this anthropomorphized conception of The Monad is a fictional character of divers mythologies. According to most every fully-enlightened sage in the history of this planet, Ultimate Reality is, far more logically, consubstantially and simultaneously, Absolutely NOTHING and Absolutely EVERYTHING - otherwise called “The Tao”, “The Great Spirit”, “(Param) Brahman”, “Cosmic Consciousness”, “Eternal Awareness”, “Independent Existence”, “Unconditioned Truth”, “Uncaused Nature”, “The Universal Self”, “The Ground of All Being”, “The Undifferentiated Substratum of Reality”, “The Unified Field”, et cetera - yet, as alluded to above, inaccurately referred to as a personal deity by the masses (e.g. “God”, “Allah”, “Yahweh”, “Bhagavan”, etc.). Subsequent chapters expand on this axiom. In other words, rather than the Supreme Truth being a separate, Blissful, Supra-Conscious Being (The Godhead Himself, or The Goddess), Ultimate Reality is Eternal-Existence Limitless-Awareness Unconditional-Peace ITSELF. That which can be perceived, can not be perceiving! This understanding can be factually-realized by studying a systematic method of introspection, called “gnosticism” (“jñāna yoga”, in Sanskrit). Because the Unmanifested Absolute (i.e. NO-THING) is infinite creative potentiality, “It” perpetually actualizes as the phenomenal creation (i.e. EVERY-THING), in the form of ephemeral, cyclical universes/multiverses. In the case of our particular universe, we reside in a cosmos consisting of space-time, matter and energy, without, of course, neglecting the most fundamental dimension of existence (i.e. Conscious Awareness). Just as a knife cannot cut itself, nor the mind comprehend itself, nor the eyes see themselves, The Absolute cannot know Itself (or at least objectively EXPERIENCE Itself), and so, has manifested this phenomenal universe within Itself for the purpose of experiencing Itself, particularly through the lives of self-aware beings, such as we sophisticated humans. Therefore, this world of duality is really just a play of consciousness within Consciousness, in the same way that a dream is a person’s sleeping narrative set within the life-story of an “awakened” individual. APPARENTLY, this universe, composed of “mind and matter”, was created from the initial event (the so-called “Big Bang”), which started, supposedly, as a minute, slightly uneven ball of immeasurably-dense light, which in turn, was ultimately instigated by Extra-Temporal Supra-Conscious Bliss. From that primal event, every motion or action that has ever occurred, has been a direct or indirect result of that expansion. Just as all the extant energy in the universe was once contained within the inchoate singularity, Infinite Consciousness was NECESSARILY present at the beginning of the universe, and is in no way an epiphenomenon of a neural network. Discrete consciousness, on the other hand, is entirely dependent on the neurological faculty of individual animals (the more highly-evolved the species, the greater its cognitive abilities). “Sarvam khalvidam brahma” (a Sanskrit maxim from the “Chandogya Upanishad”, meaning “all this is indeed Brahman” or “everything is the Universal Self alone”). There is NAUGHT but Eternal Being, Conscious Awareness, Causeless Peace - and you are, quintessentially, that! This “Theory of Everything” can be more succinctly expressed by the mathematical equation: E=A͚ (Everything equates to Infinite Awareness). HUMANS are, essentially, this Eternally-Aware-Bliss, acting through an extraordinarily-complex biological organism, comprised of the eight rudimentary elements - pseudo-ego (the assumed sense of self), intellect, mind, solids, liquids, gases, heat (fire), and ether (three-dimensional space). When one peers into a mirror, one doesn’t normally mistake the reflected image to be one’s real self, yet that is how we humans conventionally view our ever-mutating forms. We are, rather, in a fundamental sense, that which witnesses all transitory appearances. Everything that can presently be perceived, both tangible and immaterial, including we human beings, is a culmination of the primary manifestation. That is the most accurate and rational explanation for “karma” - everything was preordained from the initial spark, and every subsequent action has unfolded as it was predestined in ETERNITY, via an ever-forward-moving trajectory. The notion of retributive (“tit-for-tat”) karma is just that - an unverified notion. Likewise, the idea of a distinct, reincarnating “soul” or “spirit”, is largely a fallacious belief. As a consequence of residing within this dualistic universe, we experience a lifelong series of fluctuating, transient pleasures and pains, which can take the form of physical, emotional, and/or financial pleasure or pain. Surprisingly to most, suffering and pain are NOT synonymous. Suffering is due to a false sense of personal agency - the belief that one is a separate, independent author of one’s thoughts, emotions, and deeds, and that, likewise, other persons are autonomous agents, with complete volition to act, think, and feel as they desire. Another way of stating the same concept is as follows: suffering is due to the intellect being unwilling to accept life as it manifests moment by moment. Whatever state in which we currently find ourselves, is the result of two factors - our genetic make-up at conception and our present-life conditioning (which may include mutating genetic sequence). Every choice ever made by every human and non-human animal was determined by those two factors ALONE. Therefore, free-will is purely illusory, despite what most believe. Chapter 11 insightfully demonstrates this truism. There are five SYMPTOMS of suffering, all of which are psychological in nature: 1. Guilt 2. Blame 3. Pride 4. Anxiety 5. Regrets about the past and expectations for the future These types of suffering are the result of not properly understanding what was explained above - that life is merely happenstance and NOT caused by any particular person. No living creature, including Homo sapiens, has individual free-will. There is only the Universal, Divine Will at play, acting through every body, to which William Shakespeare famously alluded when he scribed “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” This illusion of liberty of volition is excruciatingly difficult, if not utterly impossible, for most humans to surmount. The human organism is essentially a biopsychological machine, comprised of the five gross material elements (which can be perceived with the five senses) and the three subtle material elements (the three levels of cognition, which consist of abstract thought objects), listed above. The ANTIDOTE to all mental anguish is to firstly discern pain from suffering, then to achieve complete relief from that miserable state of existence, by abandoning the erroneous belief in personal authorship, and abiding in the primordial sense of being (the unqualified “I am”, which is one’s core identity). This is the very same peace that is experienced each night during the dreamless phase of the sleep cycle. This “resting imperturbably as Flawless Awareness” can be practiced on a regular basis, until it is fully assimilated and integrated into one’s life. Every person, from time immemorial, has been either intentionally or unwittingly seeking such causeless peace, most commonly by practicing one of the four systems of YOGA (a Sanskrit term meaning “religion”, or “union”) delineated in the sixteenth chapter of this work, or in creating wealth and the acquisition of material possessions, or else in psycho-physical pleasures. That peace of mind is also referred to as “happiness”, “joy”, or “love”, and often presumed to be a temporal state, since many assume, incorrectly, that continuous peace is unavailable in this life. Fortunately, that is not the case - it is eminently possible to live one’s life acquainted with unbroken peace of mind, if destined. Following DHARMA (frameworks of authentic religion and societal duties) is not guaranteed to achieve that desired tranquillity of mind, but even so, it is beneficial for individuals, since it establishes a structure that enables one to more easily elevate oneself beyond the mundane, animalistic platform (i.e. the base pursuits of eating, sleeping and mating). Intrinsic to dharma is the division of the adult male population into the four classes of society, and the inherent role of girls and women in society, as fully elucidated in latter chapters of this Holy Scripture.

You apologise for the way you say Isa and then immediately say his name according to the Quran perfectly. Its things like that which mean a lot. Thank you for doing what most wouldnt even bother doing
He's also wrong. The Aramaic word for God is "Alaha". It's the word Isa PBUH used. Sounds familiar? Written without the confusing vowels it is written A-L-H ܐ ܠܗܐ (alap-lamed-he) as found in Targum or in Tanakh (Daniel, Ezra), Syriac Aramaic (Peshitta), reduced from the Arabic original (of which Aramaic is a dialect continuum as will be explained) it is written in the Arabic script 'A-L-L-H' (Aleph-Lam-Lam-Ha) add an A before the last H for vocalization. The word God in another rendition in Hebrew ʾĕlōah is derived from a base ʾilāh, an Arabic word, written without confusing vowel it is A-L-H in the Arabic script, pronounced ilah not eloah. Hebrew dropped the glottal stop and mumbled it, aramic mumbled a little less and it became elaha. Infact both are written written A-L-H in Arabic, it is pronounced i in Arabic and not A because it is an Alef with hamza below (إ أ ) They are two different forms of Alef. And it mean "a god", it is the non definitive form of A-L-L-H, in which the Alef is without a glottal stop/hamza,(ا), but this kind of nuance is lost in the dialect continua. infact "YHWH" itself is an Arabic word as discussed by Professor. Israel Knohl (Professor of Biblical studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem) in the paper" YHWH: The Original Arabic Meaning of the Name." jesus as his name is often misspelled due to the lack of the ayin sound in Greek, which was rendered to Iesous, coupling the nearest sound to ayin, same letter found in 'Iraq', which sounds entirely different in Arabic form 'Iran' in Arabic, with the -ous Greek suffix that Greeks typically add to their names 'HerodotOS', 'PlotinUS', 'AchelOUS' and later mumbled into a J. The yeshua rendition of Isa (his name in the Qur'an) PBUH which is purported to be the name of Jesus is KNOWN to had been taken from greek. Western Syriac also use "Isho". Western Aramaic (separate from Syriac which is a dialect of Eastern Aramaic) use "Yeshu". Western Syriac has been separate from Western Aramaic for about 1000 years. And sounds don't even match up. Syriac is a Christian liturgical language yet the four letters of the name of Jesus «ܝܫܘܥ» [ = Judeo-Babylonian Aramaic: «ישוע» ] sounds totally different in West vs East Syriac, viz. vocalized akin to Christian Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic «ܝܶܫܽܘܥ» (Yēšūʿ) in West Syriac, but pronounced more akin to Muslim Arabic Quran character name Isa in East Syriac «ܝܑܼܫܘܿܥ» (ʾĪšōʿ). The reason for this confusion is their dropping of phonemes. Only someone that has no idea what the letters are or how they sound would have a name ending in a pharyngeal fricative like the ayin, if it were to be used in a name it would have had to be in the beginning, thus the Arabic rendition is the correct one. An example in English is how the appended -d is a common error amongst the English pronouncing Gaelic names. The name Donald arose from a common English mispronunciation of the Gaelic name Donal. Just how it is with donal becoming donald and the two becoming distinct and the original being regarded as something seperate so too did Isa PBUH turn to Iesous turn to jesus and when they tried going back to the original they confused it for yeshua ( ysu is how it is actually written) for Isa PBUH ( 3'eysah ) Schlözer in his preparation for the Arabia expedition in 1781 coined the term Semitic language: "From the Mediterranean to the Euphrates, from Mesopotamia to Arabia ruled one language, as is well known. Thus Syrians, Babylonians, Hebrews, and Arabs were one people (ein Volk). Phoenicians (Hamites) also spoke this language, which I would like to call the Semitic (die Semitische)." -Before Boas: The Genesis of Ethnography and Ethnology in the German By Han F. Vermeulen. He was only half right though, Arabic is the only corollary to "proto-semitic", infact the whole semitic classification is nonsensical as will be shown. "protosemetic" Alphabet (28), Arabic Alphabet (28), Latin transliteration, hebrew (22) 𐩠 𐩡 𐩢 𐩣 𐩤 𐩥 𐩦 𐩧 𐩨 𐩩 𐩪 𐩫 𐩬 𐩭 𐩮 𐩰 𐩱 𐩲 𐩳 𐩴 𐩵 𐩶 𐩷 𐩸 𐩹 𐩺 𐩻 𐩼 ا ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ ر ز س ش ص ض ط ظ ع غ ف ق ك ل م ن ه و ي A b t ṯ j h kh d ḏ r z s sh ṣ ḍ ṭ ẓ ʿ ġ f q k l m n h w y א ב ג ד ה ו ז ח ט י כ ל מ נ ס ע פ צ ק ר ש ת Merged phonemes in hebrew and aramaic: ح, خ (h, kh) merged into only kh consonant remain س, ش (s, sh) merged into only Shin consonant remaining ط, ظ (ṭ/teth, ẓ) merged into only ṭ/teth consonant remaining ص, ض (ṣ, ḍ/Tsad ) merged into only ḍ/Tsad consonant remaining ع, غ (3'ayn, Ghayn) merged into a reducted ayin consonant remaining ت, ث (t/taw, th) merged into only t/taw consonant remaining The reason why the protoS alphabet here is 28 and not 29, is because the supposed extra letter is simply a س written in a different position, but it was shoehorned to obfuscated. In Arabic letter shapes are different depending on whether they are in the beginning , middle or end of a word. As a matter of fact, all of the knowledge needed for deciphering ancient texts and their complexity was derived from the Qur'an. It was by analyzing the syntactic structure of the Qur'an that the Arabic root system was developed. This system was first attested to in Kitab Al-Ayin, the first intralanguage dictionary of its kind, which preceded the Oxford English dictionary by 800 years. It was through this development that the concept of Arabic roots was established and later co-opted into the term 'semitic root,' allowing the decipherment of ancient scripts. In essence, they quite literally copied and pasted the entirety of the Arabic root. Hebrew had been dead, as well as all the other dialects of Arabic, until being 'revived' in a Frankensteinian fashion in the 18th and 19th centuries. The entire region spoke basically the same language, with mumbled dialect continuums spread about, and Arabic is the oldest form from which all these dialects branched off. As time passed, the language gradually became more degenerate, Language; When one looks at the actual linguistics, one will find that many were puzzled by the opposite, that is, how the other "semetic" languages were more "evolved" than Arabic, while Arabic had archaic features, not only archaic compared to bibilical Hebrew, Ethiopic, "Aramaic" contemporary "semetic" languages, but even archaic compared to languages from ancient antiquity; Ugaritic, Akkadain. What is meant here by Archaic is not what most readers think, it is Archaic not in the sense that it is simple, but rather that it is complex (think Latin to pig Latin or Italian or Old English, which had genders and case endings to modern English), not only grammatically, but also phonetically; All the so called semitic languages are supposed to have evolved from protosemetic, the Alphabet for protosemitic is that of the so called Ancient South Arabian (which interestingly corresponds with the traditional Arabic origins account) and has 28 Phonemes. Arabic has 28 phonemes. Hebrew has 22, same as Aramaic, and other "semitic" languages. Now pause for a second and think about it, how come Arabic, a language that is supposed to have come so late has the same number of letters as a language that supposedly predates it by over a millennium (Musnad script ~1300 BCE). Not only is the glossary of phonemes more diverse than any other semitic language, but the grammar is more complex, containing more cases and retains what's linguists noted for its antiquity, broken plurals. Indeed, a linguist has once noted that if one were to take everything we know about languages and how they develop, Arabic is older than Akkadian (~2500 BCE). And then the Qur'an appeared with the oldest possible form of the language thousands of years later. This is why the Arabs of that time were challenged to produce 10 similar verses, and they couldn't. People think it's a miracle because they couldn't do it, but I think the miracle is the language itself. They had never spoken Arabic, nor has any other language before or since had this mathematical precision. And when I say mathematical, I quite literally mean mathematical. Now how is it that the Qur'an came thousands of years later in an alphabet that had never been recorded before, and in the highest form the language had ever taken? The creator is neither bound by time nor space, therefore the names are uttered as they truly were, in a language that is lexically, syntactically, phonemically, and semantically older than the oldest recorded writing. In fact, that writing appears to have been a simplified version of it. Not only that, but it would be the equivalent of the greatest works of any particular language all appearing in one book, in a perfect script and in the highest form the language could ever take. It is so high in fact, that it had yet to be surpassed despite the fact that over the last millennium the collection of Arabic manuscripts when compared on word-per-word basis in Western Museums alone, when they are compared with the collected Greek and Latin manuscripts combined, the latter does not constitute 1 percent of the former as per German professor Frank Griffel, in addition all in a script that had never been recorded before. Thus, the enlightenment of mankind from barbarism and savagery began, and the age of reason and rationality was born from its study. God did bring down the Qur’an, Mohamed is his Messenger.
@mznxbcv12345 Ever heard about the phoenician script? Arabic can trace its root from there, the arabic script is known to arrive from the aramaic or the nabatean script which is also known to arrive from the P.E script. Ever heard of language evolving? No they do not degenerate, language never stays the same. The hebrew language has been dead but is revived, and the many dialect of arabic exist, they are not created but is evolved from the arabic language of that time. Ever heard of dialect? Dialect is a how people speak the same language differetly especially vocaburary. Dialect eventually became a new language after a lot of changes. The way a dialect is preserved is by isolation and more. The arabic language etc. Is grouped in the semitic language or afro-asiatic language. I don't know why you really hate the grouping despite it being true. The way you idolize arabic is scary, no one would say hebrew create arabic or the other way around, because its just so untrue, the reason that arabic and hebrew and aramaic is similar is not because hebrew and aramaic derives from arabic but because they have a common heritage that is their ancestor (Proto-Semitic) proto means old. And how come Isa (PBUH) be the origin of the name when the name Isa itself came from the greek translation which came from the aramaic (canaan) name Yeshua (versions of the name Joshua). Arabic evolve since the time of Prophet Muhammad but why didn't it evolve before the time of Prophet Muhammad? Why did you make arabic seems frozen in time before the time of Muhammad knowing that the arabic people is a travelling people?
One good example of phonsemantic matching that a lot of people in the US are familiar with, even if they don't know it, is the adaptation of Native American words into one or more english words that they kind of sound like. So wuchak becomes woodchuck, Wisakedjak becomes Whiskey Jack, musquash becomes muskrat, huskemaw becomes husky, and so on.

Jesus is prophet of God : Malachi 3:1 Jesus is a messenger Jesus came to this earth as a Messenger from God the Father: "'Behold, I send My messenger, and he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight. Behold, He is coming,' says the LORD of hosts" (Malachi 3:1). Two messengers are mentioned in this verse. The first is John the Baptist, who prepared the way for the second Messenger, "the Messenger of the covenant," Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ : a Prophet and Messenger of God in the Bible here verses from the Bible mentions Jesus Christ Peace Be Upon Him as Prophet of God : The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.” ◄ Matthew 21:11 ► “A great prophet has arisen among us!” ◄ Luke 7:16 ► The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. ◄ John 4:19 ► When they sought to seize Him, they feared the people, because they considered Him to be a prophet. ◄ Matthew 21:46 ► Therefore when the people saw the sign which He had performed, they said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.” ◄ John 6:14 ► Some of the people therefore, when they heard these words, were saying, “This certainly is the Prophet.” ◄ John 7:40 ► So they said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.” ◄ John 9:17 ► Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet ◄ Luke 24:19 ► others were saying, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” ◄ Mark 6:15 ► They answered him, “You are not also from Galilee, are you?

I love your work, it is always very well produced and sourced. I appreciate that you bring in experts where your own knowledge is lacking. I learn so much from everyone of your videos as you have a knack for making somewhat complex and unfamiliar topics simple and relatable. I never knew that religious studies was such a robust field with so many deep causal relationships, truly fascinating.
yup
This makes sense. Because as Arabic is my first language, when you asked about the resemblance between Yasu and Isa, my very first thought (although may not be obvious to non-arabic speakers) is that Yasu sorta sounds like 'ysa reversed. Although this is not necessarily the case, but just to give an example of a possible attempt on photosemantic matching of my own. Very interesting stuff indeed.
This is fascinating and so interesting and comprehensive. I like the linguistic background and historical information. Even the story of the rock inscription is fascinating, it's like going back in time.
Got obsessed with this channel out of YT recommendations! Keep up the good work!
Whats cool to me about people inscribing things onto those rocks is that we can see into a part of the past that seems more "informal". We are so used to getting ancient writings from monuments and scrolls, its nice to also see things written by some random person in the middle of nowhere. It would be cool to see what other inscriptions are out there on all those rocks.

Every christian should read Quran once... Even with intention of getting knowledge and wisdom it will certainly benefit you . There are alot of historical events and names mentioned in Quran .

I hope you reflect on your biased approach.
@@Meowww12760 Somehow, I can't find your other comment when I open it. Anyway, I read the Qur'an with a purely academic and historical viewpoint; before someone jumps out at me, I read the Bible from both devotional and academic perspectives. And so, I had some of the most recent scholarly works as resources: for example, Gabriel Said Reynolds's "The Quran and it's Biblical Subtext". I also had some early Tafsirs -- or Tafsirs which were mostly based on earlier Tafsirs -- as secondary resources, to know the earliest interpretations of most passages. Coming to hadiths, I ignored most of them, as hadiths are often simply inaccurate. The only exceptions were the earliest hadiths. Coming to context, it is the most important thing I take into account while reading any text, whether it is the Book of Genesis or Surah Maryam. Like Book of Genesis shows influences of the Ancient Near East context, Surah Maryam shows influences and connections with both Jewish and Christian texts and traditions, in my own research and the studies of other scholars. I was convinced by the suggestion that Surah Maryam is composed of several text blocks, most of which were written after the death of Muhammad. I also came to know that the Sanaa palimpset contains a few meaningful variants which differs from the standard text. For example, وَلَمْ أَکُنْ رَبِّ بِدُعَاءِكَ instead of وَلَمْ أَكُن بِدُعَائِكَ رَبِّ.
@@davidgeorge6410 just the stories of prophets will be enough wisdom to reflect on many things, I find
I really like the phonosemantic matching, that's a great way of considering it. I always believed that Isa was exactly that, but adapted from the 3 letter root Y-SH-A but then matched to something closer to their native and local Arabic. ...still closer than the name Jesus.
I'm so interested in these topics, keep it up!
This is really interesting! It reminds me of when someone anglicizes their name, in a way. I used to know a guy whose first name was Urim (after the Urim and Thummim stones). He was named that because his parents moved to the US and figured it was still an important name while still being easier to pronounce to your average American than an equally important Korean name. This feels similar.
Thank you both. I wish the sentence is highlighted on the inscription so one may try to look for it among other writing on the stone.

And let's not forget that Hebrew/Aramaic and Arabic are sibling languages where there are a lot of similarities and easy assimilation of already existing names and terms. My last name is Souza and my Middle comes from Alvarez, but Spanish is Sosa or Soza. When I talk with Spanish speakers they pronounce my name exactly as the Spanish version, and It doesn't bother me nor do I feel the need to correct.
Sometimes people bringing a foreign name into a local language just pick a local name that sounds similar. I’ve seen this a lot with kids I grew up with that would just adopt some vaguely similar English name. Like Tien went by Tina. Jay-gum-fa went by Kim.

Very interesting hypothesis, I'm interested to see what more, if anything, can be brought to light about this. It's amazing where things pop up that you might not find the right context for until the right person looks at it - that might lead to a little confirmation bias but that's why you put that hypothesis in front of as many eyes as possible like Dr. Al-Jallad is doing.
This is so interesting! Thank you!
A good example of phonosemantic matching I like to bring up, is the Old Norse bishop Saint Eysteinn, who in Latin used the name Augustinus. "Eysteinn" is Old Norse, composed of the word "luck" and "stone" and not related to Augustine at all. But it sounds sort of similar, and anyhow Augustine is a name fitting for a bishop. Another example: one of the Twelve Peers of Charlemagne (the Paladins) was named "Yvoire", a word meaning "ivory", probably referring to the whole elephant. But in the Old Norse version of the story, he was named "Ivar", a pre-existing Old Norse name meaning "warrior".
So it’s like the Native American word “(h)amack” (hammock) evolved to “hangmat” in Dutch, because it sounded similar and also described what it basically was.
Yeah, that is an example of phono semantic matching

I had a Zoroastrian boss at one point. My name sounds Zoroastrian but I'm not. One of my smoking buddies at the job was the token Muslim named Moosa. My boss was always curious about strange things, like how i got a Buddhist first name. I pointed out that the the guy sitting across was a devout Muslim but with a Jewish name. The boss didn't get it. It didn't surprise me. He said he has two brothers, named Isa and Mohammed. I couldn't stop laughing. What is so surprising in that, my boss asked. So basically the lady named her sons Moosa, Isa, and Mohammed, i.e. Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed.
Islam has this concept where there are four prophets who got the "main" books out of the 104 books of divinations. Moses, Jesus and Muhammad are among them. Maybe that's the pattern the lady was going for.

Actually in Arabic, words can be collapsed with a similar meaning. For instance you say SLM which is pronounced SaLaM or SaLiMa and is related to the Hebrew word MeShaLem. All mean to be healed or saved. When you collapse the SLM it becomes MLS and means to touch gently without harm, or LMS to touch and so on. In short, when turning the vowels you have a new root which is in some way related to the other root, but has a slightly different meaning. Now to Jashua. The Hebrew SH will always be in Arabic S. Thats why Arabs say Salam and the Hebrews Shalom. So we have in Arabi now Jasu(ua) with this ain at the end which has no equivalent in European languages. Another matter is, that a long U can be changed into a long i. We have this in several word declinations in Arabic. Explaining this here would be to difficult for non-Arabic speakers. So Jasu(ua) can be collapsed to (ua)usaJ. And the u after the (ua) can be changed to an i. So it becomes (ua)isaj and pronounced Isa. Hence Jashura is more or less equivalent to Isa.
*Substituting the sound Y with J is also common in other languages,Spanish people say me jamo instead me llamo Americans do the same instead of saying "what do you mean" they say "wha ju mean". *
No. You're talking crap. The question is, how does Yasu' become 'isa? The answer is that it was replaced with a similar arabic name, just like Yahya replacing Yohannan. It's similar, but different and not the original. Don't act like you know something that actual linguists don't

Fascinating video, I love the sound of the Arabic language. To me, Isa and Yeshua sounded similar enough and I never gave it much thought. Phonosemantic matching us exemplified well by the Chinese word for Coca Cola, Kekou kele, which means something like "Delicious happiness" or "Allows the mouth to rejoice." Their first attempt to translate it into Chinese characters meant "Bite the wax tadpole" however, and it was not a natural phonosemantic match,but rather a foreign company deliberately researching the target language for sensible matching characters.

Language is always such a fascinating topic man...
I believe that two words are connected in some way because they share same letters if you understand semitc root system you will get it . Mohammed, Ahmed (anther name that Jesus gave to Mohammed ), Hamid and Mahmoud have three core letters H.M.D which means (he thank) you can form from these three letters different meanings I also noticed that Hebrew prophet ytshak (he loughs) = issac = yadhak (he loughs in Arabic too) I guess (ya) prefix to make present tense in both languages. like Yaqoob (he comes after in Hebrew ) = Jacob = y'qob (he comes after in Arabic too)

Thank you for this video! This was very informative. I wonder if early Arab Christians were using the ‘ysy version, how did the current version of Jesus name in Arabic come to be? Like what happened to facilitate the adoption of the original name instead of the Arabized version?
There is no evidence that Jesus' name was Yeshua .. the oldest name for Jesus in Christianity is the Greek form "Isous" Since Jesus spoke Aramaic, and the dominant language was Aramaic, and the Greeks translated the Bible and the names, so it seems that "Isous" is the Greek pronunciation of the original name of Jesus (Isa\ عيسى) without "ayin" and with Greek suffixes. P.S The letter ayin in Arabic can be several letters in Latin based on the Arabic diacritics .. for example : The letter ayin in Isa, in Latin letters as (i or e) because the diacritic in ayin is (kasrah) The letter ayin in name "Ali" in Latin letters as (A) because the diacritic in ayin is (fathah) The letter ayin in Oman in Latin letters as (O) because the diacritic in ayin is (dammah) In the Islamic world (non-Arabs) they pronounce the name of Jesus as (isa) without ayin The question is why the Greek name for Jesus "iesous" is identical to the Islamic\Arabic name "isa" ? The answer is quite simple: the Greeks translated the name from the Aramaic, which identical in form to the name and the Arabic pronunciation (isa =عيسى) with Greek suffixes and without the Semitic consonant "Ayin".
Because Christians were speaking Greek, or Syriac, or Coptic, or etc upon the conquest, and they slowly adopted Arabic. Their religious liturgies, including their variant of the name of Jesus would probably change more slowly that the adoption of Arabic by non-arabic speakers.
The main point is that Dr. Al-Jallad's early Isa inscription "ysy" tells us that it's a DIETY = God. God bless Dr. Al-Jallad.

The answer is quite simple: the Greeks translated the name from the Aramaic, which identical in form to the name and the Arabic pronunciation (isa =عيسى) with Greek suffixes and without the Semitic consonant "Ayin".
This is true. Christ means "Redeemer". We call him Jesus Christ.
Well said. That's true. We refer to people by their actual names and titles in some cases, almost all the time in fact.

Ishoʿ (īšōʕ), a cognate of the Hebrew term Yeshu, is the Eastern Syriac pronunciation of the Aramaic form of the name of Jesus. in hebrew is Isho and in arabic is Isa
Very informative, thanks I have the same name, although I haven't seen my exact spelling anywhere else. I'm guessing it was my parents' whim.
Sidenote, my surname is also mentioned in the video
Look at my name you'll get Evidence
Your videos are always great, thank you.
As an Aramaic speaker and Arabic as my second language. Isa or Issa name does not match the name of Jesus whether in Aramaic, Hebrew or Arabic (يسوع,ܝܫܘܥ yasu or, Yeshu, yisoh,ישוע). The reason I am saying this is. Because the meaning of Jesus' name in Aramaic means, God saves. The first letter of Jesus' name( ܝ )means Yahwah, and we pronounced it as (youth or yud) the second, third and fourth letters of Jesus' name are (ܫܘܥ) mean salvation. So, the right match of Jesus' name from Aramaic, and Hebrew to Arabic must be, (يسوع, yasu or yisho) in order to have the same meaning of Aramaic and Heberw. While Isa, or Issa, does not mean salvation, and it does not match the original name of Jesus, at all.
Thankyou, i trust u ❤
The oo sound in the name tells us it is passive and yawsha in hebrew is to save, why cant you interpret it as the SAVED one, the BDB lexicon conideres Jeshua (Yeshua) as "He is SAVED"
@@roti.anggur thanks and God bless you!
This is interesting. I regard I as one piece of information but still credible and interesting. Thanks for posting.
Subhanallah I was looking at you and noticed you look like that guy from "smile to jannah" but in a white version 😊 Don't mean anything with it but it caught my eye.great video by the way , Peace cousin. ✌️
Great video, but I’m really surprised that you didn’t mention the Syriac pronunciation of ‘Jesus’, which is “Isho”-a very striking resemblance to the Qur’anic ‘Isā. And if this Syriac rendering “Isho” is truly ancient & accurate to the what Christ’s own townspeople or contemporaries might have called him (especially considering that he himself spoke Syriac as a Galilean Jew), then the Qur’an would have effectively gotten it right, perhaps even closer than many others translations. I really wish you addressed this point haha. ‘Isa could just be an Arabized version of the ancient Syriac “Isho” which may in fact be an original & valid pronunciation of Christ’s name.
His name in Arabic is Yasu’ not Isa.

what wrong with you?? They already have a Arabic translation of Jesus name, YASU!!!! Which comes from the Aramaic name Yeshua. Which is 100 times closer. Just dumb asf
@@trevinowens70 THANK YOU!!!!
@@user-ud3yv1hl7k what about Aramaic Isho
Wahb'el has the same meaning as Matthew does. Which I find interesting since Matthew is my name.
Matthew in hebrew spells matiyahu its nowhere close .Friend words in different language can have same meaning but the words are different

Great video as always.
Thanks much for this video.
Thank you for your videos ❤️ Peace to all religions
I find it impressive that this prayer was carved into basalt. To carve this inscription would not be as simple as one and paper or tapping it into a phone. The scope of time to chisel with a metal tool or scratch with a harder stone would be more a matter of hours than minutes. This indicates the supplicant's level of devotion to family and to faith.
People had a lot of time back then

@@manofwar2354 now lets see people today with "a lot time" forget it we got tiktok today...
@@debianlasmana8794 yeah alot of time in tiktok It is laughable but when we had war in my country and no phone or games (only me we had some but not advanced ) We used to carve things on rocks or stones and many wild things
From Early middle English language Jesus was called Iesu. Before the great vowel shift, J and I weren't distinguished yet. Vowel U and A sometimes sound the same, like in Sun, Bump, Dump with Dark, Cart, Park.
thank's man, this explain a lot about why Jesus called Isa, i thought bcuz Arabic heard Iesous & they can't said it, instead they called Isa (Yi & Sa) or Yesus in my country
There are strange diminutive forms of names in the Talmud, like Dosa, Assai, Yochai. I always figured that was the source of the "new testament" names in the Quran. Similar shortened forms of Jacob exist both in Judaism and Islam as Akiba and Ka'b respectively so I just assumed it was phonetic transmission.
Jacob=Ya'qoob (Qur'an)
there are no names like that in the Holy Bible
Called Iosa in Irish.... huge north african influence in early monastic church in Ireland.

Dr Ahmad is a brilliant speaker! I loved his interventions
What an amazing amazing amazing explanation, consise informative and straight to the point. Although this is all just theory but it truly is a plausible one. Wouldn't be bothered even if it's true!
