Treking Adam to Moses through Bible and Qur'an Part-1/3


Uploaded by on Apr 20, 2011
Abraham is the common ancestor of three great faiths; Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The narratives of creation and life of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph to Moses [All great prophets, May peace be upon them all] are very similar in Bible and Qur'an being from the same source, the Revelations from God.
And, indeed, We bestowed afore time [Our] guidance on Moses, and [thus] made the children of Israel heirs to the divine writ [revealed to him] as a [means of] guidance and a reminder for those who were endowed
with insight [Qur'an;40:53-54]
"And, verily, (the essence of) this (revelation, i.e. Qur'an) is indeed found in the ancient books of divine wisdom (as well) (Qur'an;26:196)
And We caused Jesus, the son of Mary, to follow in the footsteps of those [earlier prophets], confirming the truth of whatever there still remained of the Torah; and We vouchsafed unto him the Gospel, wherein there was guidance and light, confirming the truth of whatever there still remained of the Torah, and as a guidance and admonition unto the God-conscious.[Qur'an;5:46]
" Believe in My revelations, which are confirming your scriptures; do not be the first one to deny My revelations, and do not sell them for a petty price, fear Me and Me alone"( Qur'an;2:41).
Exploring the lands where the Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph and Moses lived or traveled as mentioned in Torah [First Five books of Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) http://wp.me/PCgrB-7h ] with additional captions from Qur'an highlight the commonalities for batter understanding for interfaith harmony. In this series of 3 videos, Part-1 covers from Adam to Ishmael, Isaac till Jacob [peace be upon them]. Part 2 covers Joseph's move to Egypt, his rise to power followed by migration of Jacob, his father and 11 brothers [66 Hebrews from Palestine to Egypt, adding 4 Joseph's family, total 70], over 400 years of stay in Egypt, till the time of Moses. Part 3 is related with Moses, Pharaoh, migration of 600,000 Hebrews [or 600 families, around 20,000 heads?] wandering in Sinai for 40 years till death of Moses. Part 2 & 3 will be compiled in due course. More.. http://wp.me/PCgrB-63
