00:00Good evening Dr. Zakir Naik. This is Mary. I'm a Christian and a banker by profession.
00:09My question for you is based on your statement that nowhere in the Bible it's mentioned that
00:17Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And based on my knowledge and understanding of Bible,
00:24I have picked up two verses to quote and I would like only your clarification in the
00:30light of Islam. The first one is Matthew chapter 3 verse number 17. And blow a voice from heaven
00:39saying this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. The second is John chapter 3
00:48verse number 16. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son. So whosoever
00:56shall believe in him shall not die but have everlasting life. That's right.
01:06Sister, just to correct your statement, you made a question saying that I said that nowhere in
01:15the Bible it says that Jesus is Son of God. I never said that nowhere in the Bible is it
01:20mentioned that Jesus is Son of God. I said there is not a single unequivocal statement. In the
01:26complete Bible there is not a single unambiguous statement. In the complete Bible where Jesus
01:32Christ peace be upon him still says that I am God always and worship me. I never said the Bible
01:39does not say Jesus is Son of God. What I said there is not a single unambiguous statement. Not
01:46a single unequivocal statement. In the complete Bible where Jesus Christ peace be upon him still
01:52says that I am God always and worship me. If you point out any such two statements, I'm ready to
01:57accept Christianity. If your question assumes that Son of God means Jesus is God, very well I'll
02:04reply to your question. Many Christians think that just by the statement Son of God means Jesus
02:10is God. Sister, do you know in the Bible Adam is Son of God, Ephraim is Son of God, Israel is Son
02:17of God. God has got sons by the tons in the Bible. That means you haven't read your Bible sister. So
02:23do you mean to say all of them are gods? Is Adam God? Is Ephraim God? Is Israel God? No. Son of God
02:30is a statement used if you read Romans chapter 8 verse number 14. All those that are led by the
02:37Spirit of God, they are sons of God. Means if you follow the commandment of God, if I follow the
02:42commandment of God, I am a son of God. In this way undoubtedly Jesus Christ peace be upon him
02:48verily is the most beloved Son of God. Meaning he's following the commandment of God. I have got no
02:54problem at all. If you say Son of God means persons who follow the commandments of God like
03:00it's mentioned in Romans. All those are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God. If I follow
03:06the commandment of God, you follow the commandment of God, we are all children of God. Very innocent
03:11statement, no problem. So as far as your Matthew is concerned 317 I have clarified. Now coming to
03:17your second quotation of Gospel of John chapter 3 verse number 16. But what the Christian mission
03:22say? No no no brother Zakir. Jesus Christ peace be upon him is not a normal son. He is the begotten
03:29Son of God and they quote Gospel of John chapter 3 verse number 16. For God's whole of the world
03:35that he gave his only begotten Son, whosoever believe within him shall not die but have everlasting
03:39life. Sister, simple question. What is the meaning of the word begotten? He has given it? No what is
03:47the meaning of begotten? He has given his son to the people. No no sister. Begotten doesn't mean
03:53he has given his son. You know English, I know English. Your English is Mashallah very good.
03:57Begotten doesn't mean he has given his son. If I say you have begotten a son. Sorry sorry to interrupt.
04:05Don't give metaphorical meaning. I am not a scholar. You are not a scholar but your English is very good. I am a layman person. If I say you have begotten a son, what does it mean?
04:15That means you have had sexual relationship with your husband and you begot a son. Begetting is a
04:22function of lower animals of sex. How can I attribute this function to Almighty God? Who did
04:28God have sex with? Who? That's the reason the scholars of Christianity, if you read the Revised
04:37Standard Edition, Revised Standard Version of the Bible, revised by 32 scholars, Christian scholars
04:44of the highest eminence, backed by 50 different corporate denominations, they say this word
04:50begotten in Gospel of John chapter number 3 verse number 16 is an interpolation, is a fabrication,
04:55is a concoction and they've thrown it out of the Bible. So if you read the Bible, if you read the
05:01Revised Standard Version, it is the best seller in the world. Revised Standard Version, revised by not
05:06Muslims, not Hindus, 32 Christian scholars of the highest eminence, backed by 50 different corporate
05:13denominations, they say this word begotten is not present in the original manuscript of Gospel of
05:19John chapter 3 verse 16. What they say, it's an interpolation, it's a fabrication, it's a concoction,
05:24it's an alteration. So Jesus is just like a son, like Adam a son of God, Ephraim a son of God,
05:31Israel a son of God, he's a prophet of God. So I've got no problem in accepting that verily Jesus
05:37be upon him was a prophet and a messenger of God but he was not God. Hope that answers the question
05:43sister. So now sister, thank you very much. Sister can we reverse the role now? Yes. I said I was
05:50ready to accept Christianity if you proved this was God. Would you accept Islam now?
05:56Would you agree that Jesus is the prophet of God? I have still a few more things to clarify. You're
06:00most welcome sister. Why do Muslims refrain from the statement son of God? Why? Yes, if I answer
06:09the question, will you accept Islam? It's not a compulsion. I think we have a huge population of
06:16Muslims in the world. We need believers, we do not need only Muslims by name. Yes, so we want
06:22Muslim by deed, so we want to become Muslim by deed, not by name sister. Okay, coming to your
06:27question that why do Muslims refrain from using son of God as a phrase? Very good question and
06:33that is the reason sister, if you read the Quran, Quran has got 99 attributes to Allah subhanahu
06:38wa'ta'ala. Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim, Al-Aqeem, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Most Wise but
06:45Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala in his last and final revelation, if there's something like old testament
06:50and new testament, Quran is the last testament. In his last testament, he has not used the word ab
06:56in Arabic, ab means father. Why? He has used the more difficult word Rab. Rab is more difficult
07:04to pronounce than ab which means the Lord, the Cherisher, the Sustainer. He has used Rab as
07:10attribute but not ab. Why? Because in the previous revelations, previous revelation which was changed,
07:17Bible is the changed form of the Injil. People have misunderstood the meaning of son of God.
07:22They started thinking to be begotten son. For example, if I tell, you know, young son,
07:28beta tumne achcha sawal poochaya. You know, son, you have asked a very good question.
07:32If a son asked a question of the age of 10, son, you have asked a very good question. But if I say,
07:36you begotten son, you have asked a very good question, he may punch me. He'll not say, oh,
07:41Zakir is elderly. He may punch me. That means I'm abusing his mother. If I say, my begotten son,
07:47he'll get angry. I'm insinuating that I had sex with his mother. So, son is innocent word.
07:54Begotten son is not innocent. Same way, the son is a very good word but people started
08:01misunderstanding. So, to remove this confusion, that is the reason the Quran does not use the
08:06word father as attribute to Almighty God. Otherwise, it's a good word. So, same way,
08:11we refrain from using son of God because people start thinking that he's God.
08:15No Christian ever comes and tells me Adam is son of God, Ephraim is son of God. Why?
08:21Bible says Israel is son of God. Why don't you come and tell me? Because they're programmed.
08:26No Christian has come and told me that the Bible says Ephraim is son of God. No. Why?
08:30Because they're programmed to believe that Jesus Christ is Almighty God. He never said he's
08:35Almighty God. And I told you earlier, in my earlier answer, he never claimed divinity. That means
08:41you're insulting Almighty God. That means you're insulting Jesus Christ peace be upon him. That's
08:47what I say. If Christian means a person who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ peace be upon him,
08:53we Muslims are more Christian than the Christians themselves. You know why? Because if you read the
08:58Bible, Jesus Christ peace be upon him, it's mentioned in the Gospel of John, he was circumcised
09:03on the eighth day. We Muslims are circumcised, Christians are uncircumcised. Jesus Christ peace
09:08be upon him, he said that you have to follow each and every law of the Bible, each and every
09:12commandment. Gospel of Matthew chapter 5 verse number 17 to 20. If you break one law or jitter
09:17from the commandment, you shall not enter kingdom of heaven. If you go to the Old Testament, clearly
09:20says in the book of Leviticus chapter number 11 verse number 7 to 8, in the book of Deuteronomy
09:25chapter number 14 verse number 8, in the book of Isaiah chapter 65 verse number 2 to 5, that you
09:30shall not have pork. Muslims don't have pork, but Christians have pork. So if Christian means a
09:35person who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ peace be upon him, we Muslims are more Christian
09:39than the Christians themselves. The Bible says in the book of Ephesians chapter number 5 verse
09:45number 18, that thou shall not have wine. It's mentioned in the book of Proverbs chapter number
09:4920 verse number 1. Wine is a mocker, you should not have wine. Muslims don't have alcohol, but the
09:54Christians have alcohol. Further if you analyze, there are various references I can give you.
10:00So if Christian means one who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ peace be upon him,
10:05I say that I'm more Christian than the Christians themselves. If you become a Muslim,
10:11you are a more better practicing Christian than the so-called namesake Christians.
10:18Yes sister. Can I ask something? Sure, you're most welcome sister. I would not like to cross
10:25question or criticize your statement. Sister you're most welcome to cross question me,
10:31you're most welcome to criticize me. I love it. Unless a person doesn't cross-examine. See
10:36suppose I want to prove something. If I say this is the best, I want to check it out whether it's
10:40best or not. That's right. Because a logical person, so please sister, cross-examine me,
10:45criticize me, attack me. Once you're convinced, then you accept it. Yes sister, go ahead.
10:50I will definitely not intend to do something like this. The object of questioning more
10:57is to know more so that I know what I follow is right. That's all. Thank you very much.
11:05Sister you can ask any question, no problem. You're most welcome. Whether intention,
11:10your intention is very good. But I went to the extent of saying even intention is bad,
11:14no problem. But intention is very good sister. You can ask any question, no problem.
11:18You can ask any question and you don't have to...
