The video explores the family tree of Islamic prophets as outlined in the Quran, contrasting it with the biblical lineage. The speaker employs an academic approach, avoiding religious iconography by using calligraphic symbols. The narrative begins with Adam and Eve (Hawa in Islam) and highlights that all 25 figures on the Islamic chart are considered prophets, unlike in the biblical tradition where the term 'prophet' is more selectively applied. Key figures such as Adam, Idris (Enoch in the Bible), and Nuh (Noah), among others, are discussed with specific stories like Nuh's four sons and the fate of his non-believing wife and son during the flood.
The video covers significant prophets not found in the Hebrew Bible, like Hud and Salih, and elaborates on Ibrahim's (Abraham) life, including the differences between the biblical and Quranic accounts of his son's near-sacrifice. The narratives also touch on Ismail's and Ibrahim’s role in building the Kaaba in Mecca and the stories of prophets from Ishaq (Isaac), like Jacob (Yakub) and Joseph (Yusuf). Yusuf's story includes his rise to prominence in Egypt due to his dream interpretation skills.
Further discussion includes prophets associated with other holy books, such as Musa (Moses) with the Torah, Dawud (David) with the Zaboor (Psalms), and Suleiman (Solomon), along with lesser-known prophets like Vu Kifil (possibly Ezekiel) and Ilyas (Elijah). The video also addresses figures like Khidr and the significance of Isa (Jesus), emphasizing differing Islamic views on his nature and his foretold second coming.
The speaker concludes by detailing Prophet Muhammad, the final prophet in Islam, his receipt of the Quran, and his genealogy tracing back to Ismail. Distinctions between Shia and Sunni beliefs on Muhammad's successors and the transition from the Rashidun caliphs to the Umayyad and Abbasid dynasties are also highlighted. Future episodes are teased, focusing on Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad in greater detail.

In this segment of the video, the speaker announces a shift from discussing the biblical family tree to exploring the family tree of Islamic prophets as mentioned in the Quran. The video highlights the similarities and subtle differences between the biblical and Islamic family trees. The speaker clarifies their academic, non-religious approach to the topic and notes that no images are used in the Islamic family tree due to the Islamic prohibition against depicting prophets. Instead, calligraphic icons created by the speaker’s friend from the Islamic history channel ‘al-mukhama’ are used. The Islamic family tree starts with Adam and Eve, with Eve referred to as Hawa in Islam. The speaker points out that all 25 individuals on the Islamic chart are considered prophets, in contrast to the biblical chart where the term ‘prophet’ is more selectively applied. For example, Adam is regarded as a prophet in Islam, unlike in Judaism and Christianity.

In this part of the video, the story transitions from the biblical tale of Cain and Abel to focus on Adam’s arrangements for their marriages. Cain grew jealous and ultimately killed Abel, leading the lineage to continue through their other brother, Seth. Addressing a common question, the video explains that Adam and Eve had many children, suggesting Seth married one of his sisters. The narrator clarifies that these early stories should be viewed as mythology rather than literal history. The video then discusses Idris, equated with the biblical Enoch, regarded as the first human to use a pen and pursue sciences in Islamic tradition. Idris is the great-grandfather of Noah, and the video highlights significant prophets in Islamic tradition, emphasizing their importance.
00:06:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the concept of “ulul azmi,” which refers to the unwavering ones among prophets, highlighting five particular figures. The focus is on Prophet Noah (Nuh) who is famed for building the ark and surviving the great flood. A significant distinction between the Bible and the Quran is noted: in the Quran, Nuh had four sons, with the fourth son and Nuh’s wife drowning because they did not believe in his message.
The narrative then moves to Prophets Hud and Salih, who are not present in the Hebrew Bible. Hud might be related to a descendant of Noah named Eber, while Salih’s story involves presenting a miraculous camel from God as a sign to the Thamud tribe, who later harmed the camel and consequently faced destruction by an earthquake.
Next discussed is Ibrahim (Abraham), an arch prophet with two critical sons: Ismail (Ishmael), an ancestor of the Arab people and Prophet Muhammad, and Ishaq (Isaac), an ancestor of Banu Israel (House of Israel). The Quranic version includes more elaborate tales about Ibrahim’s life, especially his early years in Mesopotamia. A notable story involves Ibrahim surviving being thrown into a large fire for advocating monotheism.
00:09:00
In this segment, the video discusses the differences between the Biblical and Quranic accounts of Ibrahim’s sacrifice, noting that the Bible names Isaac (Ishaq) as the son to be sacrificed, while the Quran is generally understood to refer to Ismail. Both sons, Ismail and Ishaq, are recognized as prophets in Islam, as is Ibrahim’s nephew Lot (Lut). The segment explains that Islamic tradition includes more detailed narratives about Ismail, particularly his and Ibrahim’s role in building the Kaaba in Mecca, which is central to Islamic worship and pilgrimage. The story of Hagar running between the hills of Safa and Marwa seeking water for Ismail, culminating in the miraculous spring of Zamzam, is highlighted. The video also touches on the lineage of prophets from Ishaq, including Jacob (Yakub) and Joseph (Yusuf), and notes that Yusuf’s story is uniquely detailed in the Quran.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the speaker recounts the story of Yusuf (Joseph) from the Bible and Islamic tradition. Yusuf is sold into slavery in Egypt to Potiphar (al-Aziz), and despite being imprisoned because of Potiphar’s wife Zulekha’s infatuation, he gains fame for his ability to interpret dreams. He subsequently interprets the Pharaoh’s dreams and is made vizier of Egypt. The video then shifts focus to other prophets in Islam not descending from Yakub, such as Ayub (Job) and Shoib (Jethro), who lived in Arabia. Shoib is the father of Zipporah, Moses’ wife. The speaker points out Moses’ significance, being mentioned 135 times in the Quran, and associated primarily with the Exodus story. The speaker mentions an upcoming detailed video on Moses.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the holy books in Islam beyond the Quran, mentioning the Torah, Zaboor, and other texts. Significant prophets are also highlighted, including Musa (Moses), who is linked to the Torah, Dawud (David), associated with the Zaboor or Psalms, and Suleiman (Solomon), a notable king. Little-known prophet Vu Kifil (possibly Ezekiel) and the prophets Ilyas (Elijah) and Aliyasa (Elisha) are introduced, with some tied to specific biblical figures and historical contexts such as Babylon or the reign of Ahab. The speaker hints at a future episode focusing on the historical existence of Moses.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the discussion centers on the figures from Islamic tradition and their counterparts in other religions. Ilias, associated with the figure Khidr, appears in accounts of various prophets, though exactly who Khidr is remains debated. Elijah, known as Ilias in Islam, is considered one of Judaism’s most important prophets alongside Moses. The Quran mentions Yunus, who corresponds to the biblical Jonah, as well as characters from the Christian New Testament like Zachariah, Yahya (John the Baptist), and Maryam (Mary). Maryam is a significant figure in Islam, with a minority of Muslims considering her a prophet. Isa (Jesus) is noted as a messiah and one of the five arch prophets in Islam, having received the Injil (Gospel). Unlike in Christianity, Isa is not seen as the son of God in Islam.
00:21:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses key elements about Isa (Jesus) in Islamic belief, including the notion of a second coming. The focus then shifts to the Prophet Muhammad, described as the final prophet in Islam, known as the “seal of the prophets.” Muhammad received the Quran, considered the literal word of God, from Allah. The Quran is believed to be unchangeable and cannot be adequately translated from its original classical Arabic. The genealogy of Muhammad is mentioned, tracing his lineage back to Isma’il through the ancestor Adnan. The video also provides details about Muhammad’s immediate family, including his father, mother, wives, and children, noting that only his daughter Fatima has living descendants through her sons Hassan and Hussein. The segment concludes with a mention of Muhammad’s successors, highlighting differences between Shia and Sunni beliefs regarding the rightful successor.
00:24:00
In this part of the video, the speaker explains that Sunni Muslims regard the first four caliphs as the “Rashidun” or “rightly guided ones.” After Ali’s death, the caliphate transitioned to the Umayyad dynasty, symbolized by a white flag, and then the Abbasid dynasty, symbolized by a black flag. Neither of these dynasties were direct descendants of the Prophet Muhammad. The speaker mentions upcoming detailed episodes on Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad across various collaborating channels and encourages viewers to check links provided for more information, as well as to visit their website if interested in a related poster.
