Video Description (from Youtube)

Dr. Shabir Ally and Dr. Safiyyah Ally respond to a viewer's question about whether prophets in Islam are sinless. Dr. Shabir explains that Islamic tradition holds to the doctrine of isma, meaning that prophets are divinely protected from major sins or moral failures that would compromise their role as trustworthy messengers and moral exemplars. While prophets may make minor mistakes, as seen in the Quranic account of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the blind man, these are not considered serious sins but human lapses that God corrects. Dr. Shabir contrasts this with the biblical portrayal of prophets, which includes major moral failings, and notes that the Islamic view maintains a high moral standard for prophets while acknowledging their humanity. This perspective also reflects Islam’s view of human beings as essentially good and capable of repentance, rather than inherently sinful.
