Though I’m a Muslim, I believe that as Muslims, we can not clear doubts by assuming the doubts of non-Muslims, but rather listening to them and then addressing to them. I respect this effort from the Kings and General team to be as unbiased as possible, while presenting the Muslim side with a high amount of accuracy!

Argument in favour of Petra: it's a very cool location to establish a Holy City on.
@umairahmed7704
If the petra was the place of Islam's origin then why it took so long for Muslims to conquer the Jerusalem? and how come Medina and Khyber came under Muslim conquest before the cities just next to petra? Even Yemen was under Muslim influence before Jerusalem and what about the migration to Abbyssinia? Heading towards Taif why not going to cairo or Alexandria instead?
@khalidh442
No offense, but the “petra” theory has to be the worst theory.. poorly supported by any evidence.
@Omer1996E.C
You forgot to mention the Zamzam argument. Where's zamzam well, or any other well in Petra? Especially one that's at most just 10 meters far from the Kaaba? That can only be seen in Mecca
@Omer1996E.C
Many commenters actually don't realise that K&G is being much more supportive of the common islamic narrative with all the evidences it brought. Thank you so much Kings And Generals ❤
@ramishkamal1739
I was surprised by you guys using ‘Namaz’ instead of ‘Salah’, but as a Pakistani I liked it. Informative video like always guys
@midoo_cherni
it's interesting how every revisionist argument boils down to a non-muslim, non-arab, with no cultural or historical context, ignoring reliable archeological evidence to make a very bold and attention-grabbing claim about a core part of a very standardized and well understood religion. it's almost like early islam is very different from european paganism and cant be treated with the same blind groping fantastical exoticism
@aamirchaka924
As a muslim, I enjoyed this video. A critical take on all history is essential in an age of misinformation

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:115): "To Allah belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn, there is the Face of Allah. Indeed, Allah is All-Encompassing and Knowing." Surah Al-Baqarah (2:144): "We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a Qibla with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it..."

Ancient Greeks mathematically proved that the earth is round and those arabs did not manage to point the mosque to Mecca?
@Kili2807
Very cool topic. Would love to see similar videos about other religions. Maybe what we actually know about the „historical Jesus“ or When Judaism actually became the distinct monotheistic religion we know today.
@TheEnginator
"Namaz" is the persian name for "salah", islamic prayer. I know it because us Turks use it, too. 😁
@ikk_ikk
There are several factual mistakes in the video that people ought to be aware of. 2:53 He mentions that the direction of prayer was first mentioned by Al-Bukhari, who lived 200 years later. This is complete and utter nonsense. Al-Bukhari (194 AH) recorded what had been passed down. There are several writers whose writings are available to us that preceded him who say the same thing. ibn Amr ibn al-As was born 7AH (After Hijrah). Malik Ibn Anas was born 98 AH. Abdel Razaq Al-Sanani was born 124 AH. Ibn Abi Shaybah was born 159 AH. The manuscripts are dated for the time they were copied, not when they were written. Unlike those that claim the sum of three ones isn't three, the believers actually would write down who is actually writing, and to whom that writing was transmitted from. Yes. They were that precise. A millennium ago. 5:10 "the period of the renaissance of science, mathematics, engineering, and other disciplines in the Muslim world, came much later, sometime in the late 8th century. It is plausible to believe" The "8th century" Al-Bukhari was born in the 9th century, according to the calendar this channel uses, furthermore the advancements were contemporaneous with him so k&g is contradicting himself.

Petra theory does not even qualify their own revisionist criteria. Think about it. Battle of Badr is the most significant battle in Islamic history. It was fought over a caravan of Quraish coming from Syria. And where was it fought? Thousand kms away from petra or syria, in Badr. Similarly, Disheartened from Quraish and their persecution, Prophet ﷺ visited another city in early Muslim history. A reasonable person would think it would be some neighbouring city, like Jerusalem etc. Nope, it was Taif, another city thousands kms away from petra. They also want us to believe that Prophet ﷺ conquered khaybar, then conquered petra, then conquered taif, and lastly conquered tabuk. Go to the map, mark those places and guess how he would have mobilized his troops through byzantine territory into petra. It's a doozy. And lastly, pact of hudaibiyah is another historically documented event where Prophet ﷺ left Medinah for pilgrimage to the holy city and was stopped by the Quraish to enter the holy city and a treaty was signed between them. Those who claim the holy city is petra wants us to believe that 1600 people (many of them are those who migrated from the same holy city in last 6 years) couldn't tell north from south and headed towards the opposite path. Not only that but that the people of the holy city (petra supposedly), instead of laughing at this blunder, headed to stop them from entering the city at... hudaibiyah? A place thousands of kms away and on the opposite side of Medinah? And not only did they manage to surpass Muslims with their unrealistic marching speed but they also didn't capture Medinah on their way? What kind on looney tunes level history is that?
@adamamin509
The Petra argument is weak af..does not make sense at all
@hira791
As a Muslim, I cannot thank you enough for taking the initiative to explore and analyze the history of Islam. It is crucial for Muslims to have access to neutral and unbiased sources as we seek to understand and embrace our faith. Please continue to discuss various topics related to Islamic history, particularly those concerning its beginnings, and strive to maintain fairness and neutrality in your discussions. Thank you once again; I greatly appreciate your efforts.
