Oh right guys welcome back to the channel if you're new man's Bobby guys I'm so excited for this video we're gonna react to the holy prophet Muhammad's letter to the monks of St. Catherine in Mount Sinai. So the reason why I'm so excited is since I started reading Hadiths one thing that I truly loved was the letter to Heraclius that prophet Muhammad sent letters to Heraclius to certain leaders of their time even to the Vatican and when I read this I truly wondered if we can find those letters not only the Hadiths but actual letters in the Vatican or in certain churches etc and apparently now they did find a letter of prophet Muhammad in an orthodox Christian church this absolutely mind blowing I can't wait to watch this video with no further ado let's have a look. The patriarch then sent us to the depths of the Sinai desert to a Greek Orthodox monastery where early Christians also sought protection. The Mount Sinai is one of those holy places of Christian orthodoxy one being mount Atos and the other one is Mount Sinai in those places the monks live in total seclusion just worshiping God. It's called St. Catherine's and it's located at the foot of Mount Sinai where according to tradition Moses received the Ten Commandments. It's the oldest functionally monastery anywhere there are 25 monks here today servicing the smallest diocese in the world the monks are all Greek with one exception. Altogether we have 3,300 manuscripts the chief librarian overseeing an incomparable collection of ancient manuscripts is Father Justin. Most of these date from the 10th to the 14th century a converted Baptist from El Paso, Texas. He showed us the monastery's collection of Byzantine icons the largest and oldest collection in the world. Then he took us to what the patriarch really wanted us to see a little known letter written by the prophet Muhammad almost 1400 years ago signed and but a way to say written by the prophet Muhammad I thought he was illiterate no sealed with his hand print offering protection and religious freedom to the Christians of the monastery. These are precedents from the habit himself for toleration and peace among people of different faiths. The patriarch then brought us back to the 21st century and Turkey to his own backyard. He took us for a ride on an island off of this temple in a carriage with a police escort. The patriarch wanted to show us that Muhammad's message of tolerance has not been received by the Turkish authorities. His prime example the Halki School of Theology the only Greek orthodox seminary in Turkey empty and abandoned no priests no prayers. For over five centuries in lands of the Ottoman Empire millions of Christians of different ethnicity and all Christian denominations were allowed to practice freely including this Greek orthodox seminary. That is absolutely correct coming from the Balkans myself I have to confirm this of course because think about it logically if the Ottomans truly prohibited Christianity altogether how come then that I was born in orthodox Christian family it wouldn't make any sense whatsoever of course so even during the Ottoman times yes you could say there are certain things that were an Islamic but nevertheless Christianity was still thriving within the Balkans. Unfortunately the secular Republic of Turkey is not only shut down the seminary but also thousands of Muslim schools and centuries old Sufi Muslim lodgers under its 90 years of unjust rule. There you go and growing up in Germany I of course thought yeah well Turkey is an Islamic country it's not all laws of Islam are actually banned in the secular Republic of Turkey I didn't know that all of them are banned. The most oppressed religious group in Turkey are practicing Muslims okay now it goes even further I don't know any form of religious chanting Zikr is illegal all religious clothing such as the turban and cloak are illegal is that so really please turics let me know only special government employees are allowed to teach Islam thousands of Muslim scholars have been executed and tortured by the secularist regime of Turkey in no way does the Republic of Turkey adhere to the teachings of the holy prophet Muhammad peace be upon him the holy prophet Muhammad peace be upon him granted a charter of privileges to the monks of Saint Catherine monastery in Mount Sinai which yet again is Quranic as well it would make only sense to do so of course and now finally we're going to see the English translation of the letter in the name of Allah the most beneficent the most merciful this is a message from Muhammad even Abdullah as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity near and far we are with them I hold out against anything that displeases them no compulsion is to be on them neither are there judges to be removed from their jobs nor their monks from their monasteries no one is to destroy a house of their religion to damage it or to carry anything from it to the Muslim houses should anyone take any of these he would spoil God's covenant and disobey his prophet verily they are my allies and have my secure character against all that they hate no one is to force them to travel or to obligate them to fight the Muslims are to fight for them if a female Christian is married to a Muslim it is not to take place without her approval she is not to be prevented from visiting her church to pray this really hardwarming after Saman actually moves me the churches are to be respected they are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor the sacredness of their covenants no one of the nation Muslims is to disobey the covenant till the last day oh right and this is it for today's video how amazing was it to see the original letter of prophet Muhammad may peace be upon him yet again my question is of course did he write the letter now or is it from him that somebody write it for him and maybe he put his hand on it and drew his hand because he was illiterate this could be of course but more over what is so beautiful about this letter is that it shows the true character of prophet Muhammad and more over it shows the true nature of Islam it is so coherent so beautiful and as I said it is Quranic of course because we can find within the Quran that the monks especially are protected and more over yet again the Christians are not called to converge to Islam but they are only reminded that they should not go to excess within their religion however this information for the Christians they may adapt it or they may not this between them and God the Muslims on the other hand are commanded to fight for the Christians to even defend the Christians from outside attackers how beautiful this message is and more over the true Christians the Orthodox Christians the monks they know about the prophet Muhammad and they know about the true friendship between Muslims and Christians nowadays if you look on YouTube and you see so called Christians they are fighting against Islam not knowing what the true message of Islam is not knowing what the true message of prophet Muhammad was and how we are supposed to be allies and not enemies all right guys but this is it for today's video absolutely amazing watch I truly appreciate this video thank you very much for your recommendation if you liked it leave the thumbs up if you haven't subscribed already guys please do so if you want to support this channel via patreon all the links are in the description box below thank you so much for your ongoing support guys as always make God bless you all much love and peace
