Dr Qadhi & Ally admit they CAN'T PROVE WHAT MUHAMMAD SAID OR DID!

A few weeks ago Jay was asked to explain what happened last July (2025) when Dr Yasir Qadhi and Dr Shabir Ally both admitted publicly that we really don't have any written evidence for what Muhammad said or did, and that everything we do possess are ALL dependent on what 5 generations of men believed he said and did, thus completely dependent on "Oral Tradition"; in fact 200 - 300 years of Oral Tradition! Muslims call these 'chains of narrations" by the term 'isnad', which basically means that so-and-so told so-and-so what they had heard from someone else, who then passed it on to another person, and so on for 4-5 generations, so that what was finally written down 200-300 years later was simply "hearsay" concerning what they thought Muhammad said and did. This all blew open for Dr Qadhi on July 9th, 2025 where he publicly admitted that due to the science of 'isnad' all Western Scholars consider the those sciences to be "discredited" because they simply don't trust what Muslims claim Muhammad said or did, since none of it was written down by anybody who either saw or heard Muhammad in the 7th century. When asked to explain why Dr Qadhi had said this, Dr Ally on July 28 agreed with him and then tried to suggest that we don't have to worry because those who saw what Muhammad did and heard what Muhammad said could be trusted because they were "sinless", and could not lie. What's more, what they passed on was therefore 100% correct; and that this sinless purity could be attributed to those who heard it as well, so that what was finally written down in the 9th - 10th centuries was 100% accurate. These public admissions caused quite a stir within Muslim circles and around the world, not only because these two men are two of the most admired Muslim scholars today, particularly in the West where they both live, but they are also both admired by Western scholars as well, due to their academic standings in both camps. It was obvious that on July 31 Dr Qadhi would be questioned by his students at his EPIC school in West Plato, Texas, who wondered why he had made these public confessions. Dr Qadhi tried to assuage their anxiety by saying that Muslims don't have to worry about the Western Scholars and their historical critical opinions because those opinions were based on a biased science, which could only be used for the Bible. Non-Muslims, he continued, simply could not understand the importance of the 'isnad sciences' since they did not have "Iman", or belief, something which only Muslim believers possessed. Only those who had "belief" would NOT question the authenticity and purity of those who were with Muhammad, and recorded with 100% accuracy everything Muhammad said and did; and this accuracy continued for over 200 years of passing it on from mouth-to-mouth In the West we have a children's game which is similar. We call it "Chinese Whispers", or "Telephone". In this video Jay unpacks the ramifications of what they actually said in July of 2025, but then concluded by pointing out that even with 'iman', belief, these two scholars still haven't realized what was waiting for them with the newest research we have done on the extant manuscripts that they point to in the 9th and 10th centuries, and just how weak their admissions are for the historical veracity of anything Muhammad may have said or done. Watch the conclusions to see what exactly he is talking about. © Pfander Centre for Apologetics & Polemics - US, May 14, 2026 (129,450)
