Скачать или смотреть Rethinking Muhammad’s War with the Jews | A Conversation with Prof. Joel Hayward

In this episode of the Real Talk Podcast 🎙️ we sit down once again with Professor Joel Hayward to explore one of the most debated chapters in early Islamic history: the Prophet Muhammad’s engagement with the Jewish tribes of Medina. ✍️📜

Together we unpack the historical, political, and theological dimensions of these events, from the Constitution of Medina and early cooperation 🤝 to the conflicts with Banu Qaynuqa, Banu Nadir, and Banu Qurayza, and finally the siege of Khaybar ⚔️🏰.

Prof. Hayward also addresses modern misreadings of these events — including claims of intolerance and misconceptions about the Prophet’s motivations and methods of governance 🕊️.
