Hazem_sharabari2 :
Another piece of advice: let the Quran interpret itself. There are inauthentic hadiths that could lead you off the right path, whereas there is a verse that addresses this—"We have not neglected anything in the Book"—meaning you will find everything you need right there.

MrJ :
you will not be able to understand the Qur'an without the Hadith, please try not to leave the Hadith out of your research.

You are creative as always, and your interpretation of the verse is correct—it requires no further explanation. Here, justice—a fundamental human right—is clearly manifested. The concept of *Qisas* (retribution) means the killer is executed in return for the life they took; an innocent person cannot be substituted for the killer. As the wise have said, "He who feels secure from punishment misbehaves." There is a second option—which we find later in the Quran—available to the victim's family: accepting *Diya* (blood money), a sum paid by the killer and their family to the victim's family in exchange for granting a pardon. Then there is a third option encouraged by the Quran: pardoning and forgiving the killer for the sake of God, seeking the great reward of the Day of Judgment, as this represents one of the highest forms of patience "sabr". Ultimately, God has provided us with various options for dealing with the killer, ensuring justice for all. God bless you, sister.

I genuinely find myself refreshing all the different platforms every day to see if you’ve dropped a new video 😂 I even have the monthly YouTube subscription now. I definitely did not have on my 2026 bingo card that I would be learning more about the Qur’an — something that holds such a special place in my heart — from a non-Muslim. SubhanAllah. You honestly never miss with your interpretations of the verses, and the sincerity and respect you approach the Qur’an with is truly admirable. May Allah guide us all towards what is true and beneficial. 🤍

Your question about where we get our understanding from reminded me of something I studied called Ussul (Origins), basically the principles muslims use to interpret the Quran and Islamic law. It’s a bit like hermeneutics in Christianity. One of the main principles is that the Quran explains the Quran, so you don’t always read a verse completely on its own. Another verse may clarify it, limit it, give its context, or explain its purpose. We also look at the Prophet’s explanations, the arabic language (and that is the hardest part), the context of revelation, and principles like what is general and specific or absolute and restricted. What impressed me about your video is that you naturally did something very close to that. You understood this verse by connecting it with other verses in the Quran instead of stopping at the first impression of the wording. That’s actually one of the classical ways Muslims approach interpretation, and I thought it was really interesting that you arrived at it on your own.

Sister, you need to read “Sabab Al nzool” which means “the reason God revealed these verses”! The story is that before Islam, Some strong tribes demands two lives for one life, so if tribe A killed one of tribe B, tribe B demands killing more than 1! It was not equal! Now verses 178-179, gives you example that 1 for 1 wether free, slave or woman! These are just examples! Because Quran 5:45 is so clear that “live for live, eye for and eye and nose for nose and ear for ear…”! Also we learnt from prophet Mohammed equality! These verses you mentioned is addressing the situation before Islam and gives examples! In Islam is so clear! It is Justice! Also, if someone murdered my son for example, I am not allowed to take revenge, I reported to the government and the government is the only authority that gives me my rights and perform “Qisas”! One thing I wanna mention also! Allah said “there is life in Qisas” which mean Justice! Now Imagine there is not Qisas “no Justice”! What will happen?? It will be Catastrophe! People will go and kill each other just like before Islam! Thats why we find life in Qisas! Thanks 🥰

Be careful about hadiths and scholars. You are doing it correctly. God's words don't need additional rulings outside of it. All answers come from the book itself.

الحدود والقصاص في الإسلام لا يحق لكل شخص أن يقيمها بنفسه أو أن ينتقم ممن ظلمه وإنما هي من اختصاص القاضي والجهة المسؤولة في الدولة فالقاضي ينظر في القضية، ويتأكد من ثبوت الجريمة وتحقق شروط العقوبة، ثم يصدر الحكم، وتتولى الجهات المختصة تنفيذَه. والحكمة من ذلك هي منع الفوضى والانتقام الشخصي، وحماية الناس من الظلم والتعدي، وضمان أن تُقام العقوبة بعد التحقق والتثبت وبما يحقق العدل الذي جاءت به الشريعة.

Abdul Khalique :
Before Islam, some Arab tribes were stronger than others. If someone from a powerful tribe was killed by someone from a weaker tribe, the powerful tribe might demand excessive revenge—for example, killing more than one person, or demanding a free man for a slave, or a man for a woman, instead of limiting retaliation to the actual murderer

AHMAD ALSHAMRANI :
Patience (Sabr) in Islam is a truly magnificent act of worship, and its reward with Allah is immense. In fact, patience—along with two other acts of worship—has an unmeasured reward because Allah Almighty says: "Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account." [Surah Az-Zumar: 10] That is, you cannot even imagine the vast amount of good deeds and forgiveness Allah has in store for the patient.

Just be careful my dear. Hadeeth are not reliable as we are not sure it’s prophets words. Quran is the absolute reliable source

For the people advising to stay away from Hadiths, how did we know about the Quran if not for prophet Mohammed?

Did you know, Madam, that I have been a Muslim since birth—praise be to God—and that I follow your work with great passion? You open doors for me regarding the divine purposes within the Quran, offering a deep, genuine understanding of the verses and their true meaning. I thank you and pray that God illuminates your path❤️

Am a muslim and I love watching your videos whenever they showup on my feed. Am a researcher in engineering so I study my quran same way as you keep connecting dots and I skim and scan to understand etc so you remind me of my way a lot. I wish there was something were people could read and reflect/discuss together what they found out and write like a full insights report from these discussions!!

I was honestly afraid you might miss the meaning when we got to some of the most misunderstood verses in the Quran, even among Muslims, but you nailed it as always👏🏼👏🏼 This is exactly how I like to understand it. One of the most beautiful meanings here is “And in retribution there is life.” What may sound harsh at first is actually meant to protect life, to deter murder, end cycles of revenge and prevent more blood from being shed. Justice becomes a guardian of life🩵

As someone who’s reverted to Islam after being a big time skeptic of religion overall, I think the most simplified way of understanding which tradition to learn from goes as follows: The Quran’s text is preserved since when and by who in terms of passing down the oral tradition and written verses. Then the answer of that then leads to asking, well how did those people understand and were taught to understand these verses? And it ends there because the rest would be inference and subjective interpretation, because taking the meaning of the text in the way that it is meant to be understood can only come by having those who directly learned from the original source to explain it, which was God through the prophet (ﷺ), and then the prophet taught the companions. You’ll see in the comment section there is a lot of discussion about whether hadith should be accepted or ignored, and the rejection of hadith is a newly invented deviation, and i’ll give you a simple reason why hadith rejectors should be ignored: The same people that have preserved and compiled the hadith (hadith is the sayings and teachings of the prophet (ﷺ)), are the same people that preserved the Quran through the oral tradition. So to reject the validity and preservation of the hadith requires you to question the validity and preservation of the Quran. Also the hadith science is quite amazing methodology, as a person of law you’d likely enjoy learning about the rigorous methodology of how hadith are graded as authentic and such details. So to sum it up, the traditions we should take from are the ones that are from the same people who preserved the Quran for us by Gods will, and anything that is new and doesn’t have evidence that that’s what was taught or understood by them is a risk of misguidance and deviation.

Jessica, one of the most beautiful examples of human nature is someone like you. The way you explain the Qur’an with such wisdom, kindness and understanding is truly beautiful, sometimes in a way that even many Muslims struggle to express. I pray that Allah places endless barakah in your life and in the lives of your loved ones, blesses you with happiness, peace and good health, and rewards you abundantly for every heart you touch and every person you help to understand His words. May Allah always guide, protect and bless you. Ameen. 🤲❤️

gouan200 :
When I was 10 years old, my brother was killed in cold blood by some people. Some time after that, my mother forgave the perpetrator for the murder. At that age, I didn't understand why my mother forgave them — I wanted revenge. But as I grew a little older and reflected on the Quran, I found the verse in Surah Ash-Shura: "And whoever pardons and makes reconciliation, his reward is upon Allah." My mother wanted that reward; she didn't want another mother to feel what she felt at that time. Yes, losing a son is extremely, extremely difficult — but for another mother to feel your same pain is even worse

Muslims practice the Quran by looking at the example of Muhammad SAW in similar or the same situations. This is because not only was he sent to reveal revelation but as an example and an explanation on how to practice the revelation.
