00:00And second question, why was Quran revealed 14 years back? Why not before? Two questions.
00:05Regarding a correction in your question, science hasn't proved that human beings have been evolved
00:10from May. It is Darwin's theory, not Darwin's fact. It's a theory. There is no book today.
00:18There is no book today on the face of the earth which says the fact of evolution. It's theory.
00:24The fact of the origin of human beings. No, it's theory. And for your information, Darwin himself said
00:30that there were missing links in his theory. If you read his book on the origin of species,
00:35he writes in this on a ship by the name of HMS Beagle. He goes to an island by the name of
00:40Calatropis. And there he sees birds were pecking in niches, in holes. Based on the holes they pecked,
00:47the beak of the birds became short and long. Based on that observation, he propounded the theory of
00:53natural selection. He wrote a letter to his friend Thomas Thumpton in 1861 that I have no proof
00:59for my theory of evolution. But because it helps me in giving replies to embryology, to genetics,
01:07that's the reason I propounded. He had no proof on it. That's the reason in our school, you know,
01:11to joke around. We used to say, if you were present at Darwin's time, Darwin would have been proved right.
01:17Trying to insunate, I'm telling my colleague, he's a ape, he's a monkey. There were missing links.
01:21Furthermore, all the three stages today, science and advanced, we have come to know that the first
01:27and the ice man. The next stage that we have, Neanderthal man, Cro-Magnon. All these stages
01:33that we have today of the human being that we found, there's no link between them. Certain
01:39things what Darwin said, that life is evolved from water. I agree with it. Quran says that
01:44we have created every living thing from water. I believe in that. But saying that we have evolved
01:52from one species to the other is a hypothesis. According to molecular biology, Hans S. Craig,
01:58he said, it is letting imagination run too wide to say that we have been evolved from apes.
02:03If that was true, today we'll find someone in between man and human being. You only find in mythology.
02:09You don't find anywhere in the world a monkey man. Do you find? So why do you think evolution has stopped now?
02:15It is a hypothesis. And most of the scientists today disagree with it. There is only a small negligible percentage
02:22which yet believe in Darwin's theory. Majority of the scientists have already disproved Darwin's theory.
02:29I feel your knowledge of science is not up to date, brother. But Dr. Naik. Not, but wait.
02:34All right. You're asking me a question, I'm replying. Then we have to give chance to others.
02:39You already have five, six questions. Let do justice. No, I thought you were just having fun.
02:42Sorry? I thought you were being entertained with my first chance. Having fun?
02:45I'm busy entertaining you. I want to entertain the other non-Muslim brothers.
02:49If all non-Muslim girls will come back to you. All right. So what we realized,
02:52Darwin's theory, brother, your knowledge on science is weak.
02:55We say Adam and Eve were the first human beings. That's what the Quran says.
02:59Furthermore, regarding your second question.
03:01Okay.
03:02I have to answer your question.
03:04I have not answered the second question. You want to put the third question.
03:06That means you are listening to me. Oh, you have forgotten. You have asked two questions.
03:09No, no. I've asked you the first one.
03:11That means you're a good questioner, huh?
03:14Now you ask me the question, why was Quran revealed 1400 years back? Why not before?
03:18You know my son, he wants to become a doctor.
03:20He's telling me, Father, Abba, why do you put me in school and college?
03:25Why don't you put me in medical college directly?
03:29I said, son, first go to nursery, then go to primary, then go to secondary school,
03:34then go to college, then go to medical college.
03:37I can't put me in medical college directly. Why?
03:39He should know the basics.
03:40Similarly, Almighty God is our Creator.
03:43He kept on sending other revelations.
03:45Almighty God, our Creator, thought 1400 years back was the right time that human beings could absorb this message.
03:52He revealed it.
03:53He's our Creator. He knows better than you and me.
03:551400 years back, he revealed his last message, the Quran, to the last and final messenger, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
04:06And it's mentioned in the Quran in Surah Maida, chapter number 5, verse number 3.
04:09On this day, have I perfected my religion for you, the perfect form.
04:13And have completed my favor on you, you're talking about the human beings.
04:16And has chosen for you Islam.
04:18After this, nothing new can be added into the basics of Islam.
04:22Nothing can be subtracted.
04:23That's it.
04:24So Almighty God knows when we can imbibe the message of the Quran.
04:29And this is the last testament, last messenger, Prophet Muhammad.
04:33No other messenger will come after this.
04:35Hope this answers your question.
04:36And I hope that you even accept, besides being my fan, you also accept my teachings, inshallah.
04:41Maybe next time when you come here.
04:43Maybe next time.
04:44You tell me I'll come again tomorrow. I'm flying tomorrow.
04:46So I'll come back fast for you alone.
04:51Shall we have the next question from the sister's side?
04:54Finally.
04:55My name is Tanya.
04:57I work for Cisco.
04:58I'm not here to disagree with anything.
05:01But I've always had a lot of people, especially Muslims.
05:04Well, not a lot of people, just Muslims.
05:07Always telling me, because you're a Catholic, you're going to go to Jahannam.
05:11But we're Muslims.
05:12You need to convert and you will go to heaven.
05:14According to me, I'm a good Catholic.
05:17I try to be a good Catholic.
05:19I don't intentionally commit sin.
05:22But does that mean because I'm a Catholic, I'm going to go to hell?
05:25And if I'm a Muslim, I'm going to go to heaven?
05:28Sister asked a question that many of her Muslim friends say, because she's a Catholic, because she's a Christian, she will go to hell.
05:35That is it true that because she's a Christian, you will go to hell?
05:38Sister, according to me, if you're a true Christian, if you truly follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, inshallah, you shall go to jannah.
05:46But, if you truly follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, said, seek ye the truth and the truth shall free you.
05:58Correct?
05:58Now, what you are following, I don't know.
06:01Are you following your church or are you following Jesus Christ, peace be upon him?
06:05If you're following your church, the chances of going to jannah is very high.
06:09If you're following Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, inshallah, inshallah, you shall go to jannah.
06:13Now, if you read the Bible, there are sayings of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him.
06:20I don't know how much you are well-versed with the Bible.
06:22Now, all the sayings of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, are in red letter.
06:26Are in red letter.
06:28Sister, do you believe Jesus to be God?
06:32Well, I'm a bit confused about that, so I'm not going to get into that.
06:36No, I'm asking yes or no.
06:38Well.
06:39Confuse God.
06:40No, it's not confusion, but I don't want to answer something I don't know.
06:44And it's not funny.
06:45I'm not saying you know or not.
06:47Sister, I'm not saying you know or not.
06:49What do you believe I'm asking?
06:50No, I do believe he's God.
06:52Yes, I do.
06:52Yes, that's it.
06:52I'm not saying what you know.
06:53You may not be able to prove it.
06:54Yeah, I do.
06:55Sister, I'll tell you one thing.
06:57Islam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus Christ, peace be upon him.
07:04No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus Christ, peace be upon him.
07:07We believe that he was one of the mightiest messengers of God.
07:11We believe that he was born miraculously without any main intervention.
07:15We believe that he was the Messiah, translated Christ.
07:18We believe that he gave life to the dead with God's permission.
07:22We believe that he healed those born blind lepers with God's permission.
07:26The Christians and the Muslims, they are going together.
07:28But one may ask, where is the parting of ways?
07:30The parting of ways is, sister, that most of the Christians, almost all, they believe that Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, is almighty God.
07:39They believe he claimed divinity.
07:41In fact, if you read the Bible, there is not a single unequivocal statement.
07:46There is not a single unambiguous statement.
07:49In the complete Bible, where Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, himself says that I am God, over he says, worship me.
07:55Sister, if you can point out a single unequivocal statement, a single unambiguous statement, anywhere from the Bible, in which Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, himself says that I am God, over he says, worship me.
08:08I am ready to accept Christianity today.
08:10In fact, if you read the Bible, I am not talking about you accepting it or not.
08:16I am not, I am giving you, yes, I am, you got half the answer, I am giving the complete answer.
08:22Okay, you can go ahead.
08:23You have got half the answer.
08:24Okay.
08:24I told you that if you are a true Christian, you should go to Jannah.
08:27Yes.
08:27You don't know what a true Christian is.
08:29I am giving you information about true Christian is.
08:32Okay.
08:32If you read the Bible, Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, said in the Gospel of John, chapter number 14, verse number 28,
08:38my father is greater than I.
08:39Gospel of John, chapter number 10, verse number 29, my father is greater than all.
08:43Gospel of Matthew, chapter number 12, verse number 28, I cast out devil with the spirit of God.
08:48Gospel of Luke, chapter number 11, verse number 20, I with the finger of God cast out devil.
08:52Gospel of John, chapter number 5, verse number 30, I can of my own self do nothing.
08:56As I hear, I judge and my judgment is just for I seek not my will, but the will of my father.
09:01Anyone who says I seek not my will, but the will of Almighty God is a Muslim.
09:05So Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, submit his will to God.
09:07But he was a Muslim.
09:08He never said he was God.
09:10It's clearly mentioned in the Gospel of John, chapter 14, verse number 24.
09:13Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, says that the words that you hear are not mine, but my father's who I sent me.
09:21And it's clearly mentioned in the book of Acts, chapter number 2, verse number 22.
09:25Ye men of Israel, listen to this.
09:27Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God amongst you by wonders and miracles and signs,
09:33which God did by him and you have witnessed to it.
09:35So Jesus Christ is a man approved of God amongst you by wonders and miracles and signs,
09:42which God did by him and you have witnessed to it.
09:43So from the Bible, you come to know that Jesus Christ was one of the most beloved messengers of Almighty God.
09:50We love him.
09:51We respect him.
09:52Do we follow his teachings?
09:53If you compare what Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, said in the Bible,
09:57I told that yesterday that we Muslims, we follow more of the teachings of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him.
10:04Jesus Christ, according to the Gospel of Luke, he was circumcised on the eighth day.
10:08We Muslims, that circumcised most of the Christians.
10:10Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, said you have to follow each and every law.
10:13Gospel of Matthew, chapter 5, verse number 17.
10:15Everything of the Old Testament, you can't break one law or a dot or a title.
10:19As I mentioned in my speech, it's mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 14, verse number 8.
10:24In the book of Isaiah, chapter 65, verse 2 to 5.
10:26And the book of Leviticus, chapter number 11, verse number 7 to 8.
10:29That you should not have poked.
10:31We Muslims don't have poked, but most of the Christians have poked.
10:34It's mentioned in the book of Ephesians, chapter 5, verse number 18.
10:36Book of Proverbs, chapter 20, verse number 1.
10:38You should not have alcohol.
10:39Muslims don't have alcohol, but Christians have alcohol.
10:41So if Christian means a person who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
10:47then we Muslims are more Christians than the Christians themselves.
10:51So if you become a true Christian and truly follow the teachings of Jesus Christ,
10:56Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, said in the Gospel of John, chapter number 16, verse number 7.
11:02It is expedient for you that I go away.
11:04For if I go not away, the Comforter shall not come.
11:06For if I go, shall I send him?
11:08It's mentioned in the Gospel of John, chapter number 16, verse number 12 to 14.
11:11Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, said,
11:13I have many things to say unto you, but he cannot bear them now.
11:16For he, when the Spirit of truth shall come, he shall guide you unto all truth.
11:19He shall not speak of himself.
11:21All that here shall he speak.
11:22He shall glorify me.
11:24Verbitum quotation from the Bible, King James Version.
11:26So Jesus Christ is prophesying about the coming of the last and final messenger,
11:31Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
11:32If you're a true Christian, if you truly believe in Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
11:36you have to believe in the last and final messenger, Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
11:40So if you're a true Christian, you'll believe in Prophet Muhammad and inshallah you shall go to Jannah.
11:45Hope that answers the question, sister.
11:46So sister, are you a true Christian or not?
11:55We would like all the questioners to keep the questions short and to the point
11:59so that we can entertain in the limited time as many questioners as we possibly can.
12:03Let us have the next question from the brother side.
12:06Assalamualaikum, my name is Aditya Mashelkar and I work for Dubai first.
12:12We are a finance company.
12:14I have a very simple one-line question.
12:17What and why is the difference between Sunni Muslims and Shia Muslims?
12:24Waalaikumussalam, brother Aditya.
12:27May peace be on you too.
12:29Mashallah, I speak Arabic.
12:30Salaam means may peace be on you.
12:32Islam is a religion of peace.
12:33He has the question, basic question, what is the difference between Sunni and Shia Muslim?
12:38Correct?
12:39Yes.
12:39Brother, there is no Sunni and Shia in the Quran.
12:44Read the Quran.
12:45There is no Sunni Shia in the Quran.
12:50Quran says in Sulal Imran chapter 3 verse 103,
12:53Hold to the rope of Allah strongly and be not divided.
12:58You have to follow Allah and His Rasul.
13:01Follow the Quran and the authentic Hadith.
13:02Shiaism came later on because of political differences.
13:06It has nothing to do with Islam.
13:07In Islam, there is no sect.
13:08Quran says in Surah Anam chapter 6 verse 159,
13:12If anyone makes sects in the religion of Islam,
13:14O Prophet, they have nothing to do with him.
13:16Allah will look after affairs.
13:18There are many verses in the Quran which say,
13:20Making sects in the religion of Islam is prohibited.
13:23There is no sect.
13:24All these are because of political differences that came.
13:27But in Islam, there is nothing like Shia or Sunni.
13:29There is only Muslim.
13:31Muslim is the person who submits his will to God.
13:34Sir, in that case, which belief is more correct?
13:38Shia or Sunni?
13:39The belief which believes in the Quran and the Sahih Hadith is correct.
13:43The belief.
13:46The person who believes in the teachings of Quran and the Sahih Hadith is correct.
13:50The moment you ask questions,
13:51If he gives reference from the Quran, he is correct.
13:54If he says,
13:54My shaykh says this.
13:55My shaykh said that.
13:56My imam said this.
13:57If the saying of the imam matched with the Quran, we match with it.
14:01Quran says in Surah Nisa, chapter 4, verse 59,
14:04Obey Allah and obey the messengers.
14:07And those who have been given the power of Amr, of commandment.
14:11But the verse does not stop there.
14:12It continues.
14:13But if the people of knowledge differ, go back to Allah and His Rasul.
14:16If two scholars say two different things,
14:19check up which scholar matches with Quran and Sahih Hadith.
14:21The one who follows his Quran and Sahih Hadith is on the straight path,
14:24is a true Muslim.
14:26The other is not.
14:28So, brother, which one would you like to choose?
14:30Shia or Sunni?
14:32Well, sir, I am a Hindu.
14:34Sorry?
14:34I am a Hindu.
14:35I really don't know much.
14:36But it was just that I was curious to know about, you know.
14:40No.
14:40Where did this come from?
14:41I thought now you have to decide.
14:42Should I become a Shia or a Sunni?
14:44No, not really, sir.
14:45I am born a Hindu and I die a Hindu.
14:48Born a Hindu, brother, even I was born a Hindu.
14:51I don't know that I died a Hindu.
14:53You know what is the definition of the word Hindu?
14:55Hindu by definition means
14:56a person who lives in the land of Indus Valley.
15:00The people who live in India are called as Hindus.
15:03Correct.
15:03This word Hindu is not done in any of the religious scriptures.
15:06It was first used by the Arabs.
15:08When the Arabs came to India, they gave the word Hindi.
15:11Hindi hai.
15:12You know, when I go to Saudi and here, they call me Hindi.
15:15Hindi means a person coming from India.
15:17It is not a religion.
15:18So, you are a Hindu.
15:20So, I am a Hindu geographically.
15:22Hindu is not a religious definition at all.
15:25According to Pandit Jawad na Nehru, if you read his book, Discoveries of India, he writes,
15:30the word Hindu doesn't exist in any of the Hindu scriptures before the advent of the Arabs
15:35to India.
15:35So, Hindu is a geographical definition.
15:38Whether even I am a Hindu, I come from India.
15:40And the Arabs call me Hindi, Hindi.
15:44Hindi doesn't mean idol worshipper.
15:46Hindi means coming from India.
15:49So, I know you are a Hindu.
15:50I am talking about a religious belief.
15:53If you are a religious belief, do you believe in one God?
15:56Well, sir, I know where we are going, but I am a very strong believer of the fact that
16:03saying a statement would not change my religious beliefs.
16:05No, I am not telling you to change your religion.
16:09I am not telling you to change your religion.
16:12If I ask you, do you believe in God?
16:14You said, yes.
16:15If I say, do you believe in idols?
16:17You may say, no.
16:17Then I will correct you.
16:19Okay, okay.
16:20So, your question is, do you believe in one God?
16:21Do you believe in one God?
16:23No.
16:23I believe in a lot of gods.
16:25Okay, fine.
16:25We have 33 crores of gods.
16:27Very good.
16:27Very good.
16:28Now, I want to help you.
16:29Don't become a Muslim.
16:31But I want to help you.
16:33Because you are not a Muslim, I want to help you more.
16:35Now, you said you believe in 33 crores of gods.
16:38Where you got this from?
16:39The Hindu scriptures, correct?
16:41Now, if you read Chandogya.
16:42I just heard about it, sir.
16:43From where?
16:44Oh, so you believe?
16:45Oh, mashallah.
16:46So, you believe in anything what you hear?
16:48Why don't you believe in what you hear from me?
16:52Well, sir.
16:52Am I your enemy, brother?
16:54I love you.
16:55Brother, I love you.
16:57Where I come from, it's not that I've just heard it from one person, the way you said it.
17:03But yeah, I've heard it from my parents, my uncles, and probably 1.2 billion people in India believe exactly the way I believe.
17:12Fine.
17:12So, it's not that all of us are doing something wrong.
17:17I'll correct you.
17:18There's something which we are doing right, which is common between us.
17:19I disagree.
17:20Which I believe is Hinduism.
17:22I disagree that 1.2 billion believe.
17:24I do agree majority of the Hindus believe, not all.
17:27I know many Hindus who disagree with what he has said.
17:29Because those who have read the Hindu scriptures, where you get this from?
17:33From the scriptures.
17:35Correct.
17:35Anyone says from the mind, if your father tomorrow says 2 plus 2 is equal to 5, will you believe?
17:41I didn't tell you.
17:42If your father says 2 plus 2 is equal to 5, will you believe?
17:45Well, not unless somebody corrects me.
17:47No, if your father tells you today, 2 plus 2 is equal to 5, will you believe?
17:52No, I will not believe.
17:52MashaAllah, you're an educated man.
17:54Therefore, you won't believe.
17:54Correct?
17:55Now, I'm giving you reference from your scriptures.
17:58Okay.
17:59You have to ask your father, in Hindu scriptures, as I mentioned earlier, there are two types of scriptures.
18:05One is Shruti, one is Smriti.
18:06Shruti means the word of God.
18:08Vedas, Upanishads.
18:11Next comes Smriti.
18:13The Puranas, the Ittiyas, Ramayan, Mahabharat.
18:17If you read Upanishad, the Most Superior, it's mentioned in Chandogya Upanishad, chapter number 6, section number 2, verse number 1.
18:25Ikkap evidityam.
18:26God is only one without a second.
18:28It's a Sanskrit quotation, brother.
18:30Ikkam evidityam.
18:31God is only one without a second.
18:33It's mentioned in the Svita Svitar Upanishad, chapter number 6, verse number 9.
18:37Naakas se kasij, janitana chadipa.
18:39Of that God, there is no superior.
18:43There are no parents.
18:44It's mentioned in Svita Svitar Upanishad, chapter number 4, verse number 19.
18:49Naakas se kasij, janitana chadipa.
18:49Naakas se kasij, janitana chadipa.
18:50Of that God, there is no image.
18:53Pratima in Sanskrit means an image.
18:56A photograph, a painting, a picture, a sculpture, a statue.
19:01Svita Svitar Upanishad, chapter number 4, verse number 19.
19:03It says, naakas se kasij, janitana chadipa.
19:05Pratima asti, of that God, there are no images, no photographs, no paintings, no pictures, no statues, no idols.
19:14If you read the Vedas, I'm talking about the highest scriptures, I'm not talking about lower scriptures.
19:18I'm talking about shrutis.
19:19Shrutis consider Upanishad and Vedas.
19:22It's mentioned in Yajurved, chapter number 32, verse number 3.
19:25Naakas se kasij, janitana chadipa.
19:26Pratima asti, of that God, there is no pratima.
19:29Of that God, there are no images, there are no photographs, there are no paintings, there are no pictures, there are no idols, there are no statues.
19:37You will tell me, I know where you're taking me.
19:39I'm not taking you anywhere.
19:40I'm taking you to your scriptures.
19:43I'm taking you to your scriptures.
19:45Fine?
19:45That's the difference in your scriptures, match with the Quran.
19:47What can I do?
19:49Furthermore, brother, if you read Yajurved, chapter number 40, verse number 9, it says,
19:53They are entering darkness, those who worship the Asambuti.
20:01Asambuti are natural things, like fire, water, air, etc.
20:05Who says that?
20:06Yajurved.
20:07And the verse continues.
20:08They are entering more in darkness, those who worship the Asambuti.
20:11Asambuti are the created things, like table, chair, car, idols, etc.
20:16Who says that?
20:17Yajurved, chapter number 40, verse number 9.
20:20Now, when your father told you about Thaytri,
20:22I don't know whether he gave you references or not.
20:25I'm giving you references.
20:27You can take my references, note it down, take the videocassette,
20:31go and ask your father.
20:33Go and ask your Pandit.
20:34I'm not telling you to believe me blindly, brother.
20:37You believed your father blindly, you did a mistake once.
20:41Don't do the mistake the second time.
20:42If you know where I'm taking you, I'm not in a hurry.
20:52I want you to be a firm believer.
20:54Not just because my father said.
20:56So tomorrow you can quote the scripture.
20:58Fine.
20:58Now, if you are a Hindu, true Hindu, you should follow the scriptures.
21:03Like the sister that came earlier, she asked me question once, she asked me twice, she asked me third time.
21:07Once you got convinced, you don't get convinced, no problem.
21:10You take time.
21:11She got convinced with three questions.
21:13I'm not forcing you.
21:15It's not allowed in Islam.
21:16I'm only giving you guidance.
21:19Thank you for that, sir.
21:19I cannot give it unless Almighty God puts it in your heart.
21:25So if you want to search the truthfulness in Almighty God, all these references you can go and check up.
21:30Go and ask your father.
21:32Go and ask your Pandit.
21:33I want not you.
21:34I want your father to come along with you, inshallah.
21:36Hope that answers the question.
21:37Thank you very much for all the information, sir.
21:39May God bless you.
21:40Inshallah.
21:44Shall we have the next question from the brother?
21:46Greetings to you in the mighty and mighty name of God.
21:48My name is Paul and I'm a student.
21:52I have a doubt.
21:54I mean, most people would also have, I mean, you've already spoken about free will and things like that.
22:00I have doubts about free will as to what free will is and do we have free will to do what we want to do.
22:07And as you quoted chapter 2, verse 256 from Quran, there is no compulsion in religion and the truth will stand out from falsehood, right?
22:17So, I am looking for truth and the truth will set me free, yeah?
22:23That is John chapter 8, verse 32.
22:25Correct, you're right.
22:26I mean, I'm not as great as you in quoting things from Bible and Quran, whatever.
22:31But I just want to know as to whether we have free will and what free will is and when they say and the quotation that I said that there is no compulsion in religion, what is compulsion here?
22:42I mean, I don't know sure whether I've taken it out of context and quoted it, what is before it and what is after it because my friends couldn't explain to me what was there before it and after it.
22:53Probably I'll have to read it.
22:54And when you say there is no compulsion, made to do like say, suppose you have to say prayers five times a day, right?
23:01Do we?
23:02Is it compulsory?
23:02The brother has two questions.
23:05The first question, what is a free will?
23:08And as Gospel of John chapter 8, verse 32 says that, seek ye the truth and truth shall free you.
23:14Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, said that.
23:16And he quote from the Quran, like Raphael Deen, chapter 2, Surah Baqra, verse number 256.
23:20MashaAllah is comparing.
23:22You know, great.
23:23He said he seeks the truth.
23:24And I pray to God that may that truth set you free.
23:28As far as free will is concerned, free will means what you want you can do.
23:32For example, today I want to destroy the full world.
23:34Can I do it?
23:35I can try, but I will not succeed.
23:37You understand?
23:38Free will means what is in your capacity.
23:42Whatever is in your capacity you can do.
23:45Whether you're able to do or not, that is secondary.
23:47For example, my capacity to give a lecture.
23:50You can try.
23:51Like how you tried and you give a quotation.
23:53Whether you can give the full lecture, I don't know.
23:54But you have the free will to try.
23:57So similarly, you have the free will to rob.
23:59You have the free will to become honest.
24:01You have the free will to kill.
24:02You have the free will to save a human life.
24:04It's your free will.
24:05So free will means you can do what you want.
24:08No one can force you.
24:10Fine?
24:11No one can force you.
24:12Now coming to the question of La Iqra 15, chapter 2, verse 256.
24:16There's no compulsion in religion, but truth stands out clear from error.
24:19Here means you cannot force anyone to accept Islam at the point of the thought.
24:24I cannot take a gun and put it on his forehead and say, accept Islam.
24:28It's not allowed.
24:29I cannot force anyone.
24:30But when I give the logical reasons, for example, doctor says, you have diabetes, don't have sugar.
24:38Oh, doctor is forcing me not to have sugar.
24:40Yes?
24:41He's compelling me.
24:43If I don't want to listen to doctor, I can go and eat chocolate.
24:46So the doctor is advising you.
24:48But an intelligent man will not have sugar.
24:51Will have less sugar.
24:52But the doctor cannot force him.
24:56Brother.
24:57No, I think you're looking down.
24:58I'm wondering.
24:59No, I'm trying to concentrate more on you now than anything else.
25:02Fine.
25:03So the thing is that if the doctor tells you something, you can use the word, the doctor compelled me not to have sugar.
25:09But the right word is the doctor advised me and I'm following.
25:11Similarly, like, is it compulsory to pray five times for a Muslim?
25:15Yes.
25:16It's compulsory.
25:18Is it a compulsion?
25:19It's not a compulsion with force.
25:21If he doesn't want, he doesn't pray.
25:24He can say, I don't believe in Allah.
25:26No one can force him.
25:27Because he agrees with the system.
25:31Ah, if I pray five times, I am getting guidance from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
25:35I am on the straight path.
25:37Therefore, I am praying five times.
25:38Like how a doctor advises you.
25:40Don't have sugar.
25:41He wants to follow, he follows.
25:44You have to fast.
25:45It's an advice by Almighty God.
25:47Surah Bakra chapter 2, verse 183.
25:49Fasting has been prescribed to you as it was prescribed to people who came before you so
25:54that you may learn self-restraint.
25:56Your taqwa will increase.
25:57So I am fasting.
25:58No one can force me with a gun to fast.
26:00Is it compulsory to fast?
26:02Yes, for a Muslim.
26:04Is there a compulsion religion?
26:05No one can force me.
26:07I should fast with physical force.
26:09So that's talking about physical force.
26:12No one can physically force anyone to do anything.
26:15It's your free will.
26:17No, but then why is it called, why is it that it is compulsory to fast, compulsory to...
26:23There are two types of compulsory.
26:25One compulsory is with reason and logic.
26:27The other compulsory is with force.
26:29What Quran is talking about, compulsion is force.
26:32Like when doctor says, don't have sugar.
26:35Is it compulsory?
26:35Yes.
26:36Doctor else says, compulsory, don't have sugar.
26:38Is the doctor forcing you?
26:40Literally, yes.
26:42With logic.
26:43Not with a gun.
26:45Right or wrong?
26:46So the doctor is saying, compulsory, no sugar for you.
26:49If you have faith in doctor, you follow.
26:51If you don't have faith, you don't follow.
26:53So same way, this is advice given by Almighty God in the Quran.
26:57If you believe Almighty God is the creator, you follow.
26:59If you don't believe, you don't follow.
27:01So anyone who's a Muslim is a person who submits his will to Almighty God.
27:05The free will God has given, I can either go against the commandment of God or I can follow his commandment.
27:11After God has given me free will, if I follow his commandment, I am called as a Muslim.
27:16A Muslim is a person who submits his will to Almighty God.
27:21There is no physical force on me.
27:23The compulsion that's spoken in Surah Baqra, Chapter 2, verse 256, is the physical compulsion.
27:30It is not the logical compulsion.
27:32Two plus three is how much?
27:33Four, I said it.
27:34Is it compulsory four?
27:37I mean, that is free will, yeah?
27:39It is your choice to choose to be.
27:40You can say three also.
27:42Correct.
27:43You can say five also.
27:44If I can say it is three, then I have to prove it, right?
27:48No, no, if you don't prove, you can say three.
27:49Anyone can prove anything to you.
27:52I didn't get it, sir.
27:53You can say three also without proving.
27:54Can anyone do anything to you?
27:56If you say two plus two equal to three illogically, what can you do?
27:59But then they'll say he doesn't know maths.
28:01So what's there?
28:01But you can say or not?
28:03Can you say or not?
28:03Yes.
28:04Yes, that is a free will, no?
28:05People will call you, yeah, that is a free will, correct.
28:07That's what I want to say.
28:07But if you say two plus two equal to three, people will say you don't know maths.
28:12So if you say two plus two is four, it's not compulsory.
28:15Same way, if you pray five times, you are a Muslim.
28:18If you say don't pray five times, you're not a Muslim.
28:21Simple.
28:21So it is a compulsion with reason and logic.
28:24So as you told two plus two equal to four is compulsory.
28:27Why?
28:27For a person who knows maths.
28:29For a person who doesn't know maths, he may not say two plus two is four.
28:32He may say two plus two is five.
28:33Two plus two is six.
28:34So this is compulsion of reason, logic and iman and belief.
28:40So hope that answers the question.
28:41No, as in, why I, why?
28:45Do you have a new question?
28:47No, it's not a new question.
28:48It's like, uh, since it's...
28:49So did I answer your question or not?
28:50Yes, sir.
28:51Okay.
28:51You answer the question.
28:52Do you have a new question?
28:54No problem, we can ask.
28:55Okay.
28:55What I'm saying is, it says, I mean, now you're saying it has, we have to do it five times.
28:59Now if I say I do it ten times.
29:03But I'm not doing it at the prayer time.
29:05Say, sir, I'm not doing it at Maghrib.
29:07I'm not doing it at these certain times.
29:09But I do it.
29:11And I do it when I'm, when I'm going to eat my foot before the meal, I'll say my prayer.
29:16When I'm sitting, when I'm standing, when I'm walking, when I'm running.
29:19I mean, fine.
29:20Correct.
29:21So, but now why, why, why is the word compulsory five times?
29:24That I'm not...
29:24Now for doctors, I don't have sugar.
29:26Okay, doctor, I won't have sugar.
29:27I won't have salt.
29:28I won't have rice.
29:29I will die.
29:32Don't have sugar.
29:33Okay, I won't have sugar.
29:34I won't have rice.
29:34I won't have bread.
29:35I won't have food.
29:36I won't have non-veg.
29:37I won't have veg.
29:38Because then we'll die.
29:39So you can't go overboard.
29:41Doctors say, don't have sugar.
29:42But okay, at this time, have medicine.
29:45You can have sugar at so and so time.
29:46Have limited.
29:47So this is because doctor knows.
29:49Now you try and become more intelligent than the creator, than almighty God.
29:53He knows better than you and me.
29:55If you say, no, no, I'll do like that, then you will suffer.
29:58So doctor knows the human body.
30:01Almighty creator knows us better.
30:03So he's our creator.
30:05He has given the advice.
30:06If you follow, you will be called as a Muslim submitting a will to God.
30:10If you don't follow, there's no compulsion of force.
30:14I cannot force you to accept this.
30:15Can I force you?
30:16No.
30:16No, you cannot.
30:17Because I have the free will.
30:18Correct.
30:19With your free will, some people like my answer, they accept it.
30:22It's not necessary you also have to accept.
30:24Tomorrow if you agree, you're a seeker of truth.
30:27Correct?
30:28You're a seeker of truth.
30:28For you.
30:29Because I'll ask, I'll seek, and then I'll know.
30:31Once you're convinced, you're most welcome.
30:33So I'm waiting for the day that you're convinced.
30:36Hopefully, inshallah.
30:40The next question from the brother.
30:43Yes, my dear brother, how are you?
30:46I'm sure you are tired enough.
30:49I have a very simple question.
30:51You know Sikhism, the foundation stone or Amrassar,
30:57Guru Mandar, was given a chance to a Muslim by the name Miamir.
31:04Why, on the contrary, you say a non-Muslim cannot go to the house of God?
31:11What's your comments about it?
31:13Brother, how am I?
31:15I said, alhamdulillah, I'm fine.
31:16Am I tired?
31:17I never get tired of answering questions to non-Muslims.
31:20I never get tired.
31:21You're very kind.
31:22I have my flight tomorrow, 11 o'clock morning.
31:25You're very kind.
31:27So for me, no problem.
31:28I love it.
31:29The more you ask questions, the more energy I get.
31:32You ask the question that a Muslim laid the foundation of Amrassar.
31:38Then why?
31:39Sorry?
31:39The golden temple.
31:40The holy temple.
31:42Laid the foundation.
31:43So why can't non-Muslims go to Makkah?
31:47Brother, I gave the answer in my talk.
31:49If someone has permitted, maybe Amrassar is not a place of sanctuary.
31:56It's not a cantonment area.
31:58Makkah and Madina is a cantonment area.
32:01You can go to any other mosque.
32:02If you want to go to the mosque of Dubai, I will take you.
32:05Brother.
32:05It's the most unique place for Sikh religion, Amrassar, golden temple.
32:09I know that.
32:10I know that very well, brother.
32:11But it may not be as sacred as our Makkah and Madina.
32:14If you want to go to any other mosque, you're most welcome.
32:17I will take you.
32:17But these two mosques, as I mentioned in my answer,
32:20they are the cantonment area and you require a visa.
32:24The visa to go to Makkah and Madina,
32:27these two mosques will say with your tongue,
32:29La ilaha illallah, Muhammad Rasulullah.
32:31There's no God but Allah and Prophet Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah.
32:34If you don't get visa, you cannot go there.
32:37If I recite those verses, can I go there?
32:39Yes, if you recite and you believe, no one can stop you.
32:42That's no problem.
32:44So you want to recite those verses?
32:45To go there or because you believe in it?
32:47I did hear.
32:48You repeated these verses with other people.
32:51I did hear.
32:52So do you believe in it?
32:54It's easy to repeat.
32:55No, no.
32:56Do you repeat?
32:57Do you believe in it?
32:58It's a fact.
32:59There is a fact and the fact should be believed.
33:02So do you believe that there's one God?
33:04There is.
33:05I believe in it.
33:07And do you believe that Prophet Muhammad is the Messenger of God?
33:11Without any doubts, yes.
33:12He is the last Prophet, yes.
33:16So a person who believes there's no God but Allah
33:19and Prophet Muhammad is the Messenger is a Muslim.
33:22So if you say this and you believe that,
33:23no one can stop you to go to Makkah and Madina.
33:26I am principally I am a pro-Muslim
33:28because I have a surrender to the people of God.
33:30Ma sha Allah.
33:30So would you like to say it in Arabic?
33:34Congratulations, brother.
33:36Would you like to repeat it in Arabic, brother?
33:38Would you like to repeat it in Arabic?
33:40I don't mind.
33:41Okay.
33:41I don't mind.
33:41I don't mind.
33:41I don't mind.
33:55I bear witness.
34:05I bear witness.
34:08I'm saying in English the translation.
34:10I bear witness.
34:11I bear witness.
34:13Bear witness.
34:14That there is no God.
34:16That there is no God.
34:17But Allah.
34:18But Allah.
34:19And Prophet Muhammad.
34:20And Prophet Muhammad.
34:21Is.
34:22Is.
34:23The Messenger.
34:24Is the Messenger.
34:24And Servant of Allah.
34:26And?
34:27The Servant of Allah.
34:28Servant of Allah.
34:29Ma sha Allah.
34:30Ma sha Allah.
34:31Brother, may Allah reward you.
34:34We welcome you to the fold of the region of peace.
34:37And insha Allah, when you want to go to Makkah and Madina,
34:40please let me know.
34:41I will sponsor your trip.
34:42Thank you very much.
34:44Thank you very much.
34:45God bless you.
34:46In sha Allah.
34:48I like your spirit.
34:49I like yourself.
34:51God bless you.
34:51Keep spreading this message.
34:53People need it.
34:55World need it.
34:57World needs peace.
34:58World needs peace leaders like you.
35:01My blessings with you.
35:03My good wishes with you.
35:09The next question from the brother here.
35:12Good evening.
35:12My name is Rahul.
35:13I work in an ad agency in Media City.
35:15I have to say, I have to say, I have to be seasoned with confrontation.
35:19And I would like to ask you questions on two topics, with respect.
35:24The first is, I do agree with you that when you marry your direct brother,
35:29the likelihood of handicapped children is very, very high.
35:33But I also agree to the fact that man was created with one pair and then they propagated from there.
35:40But when you put the two together, it creates a little confusion.
35:43Because if you marry your sister, which obviously the first few did,
35:48we should all be some level of handicap, you know.
35:49MashaAllah.
35:51Brother asked a very good question.
35:52He tried to link the question that was asked yesterday and the question asked today.
35:56I wasn't there yesterday.
35:58Anyway, the question asked yesterday was that if all humankind has been created from one pair,
36:04of male and female, how did humanity come into existence?
36:08So then I said there that the rule that time was,
36:11today the rule is that marrying among close brothers and sisters is incest.
36:17But that time the rule was that you cannot marry brothers and sisters of the same delivery.
36:24Adam and Eve is the first pair of human beings.
36:27Later on that's children.
36:28But marrying brothers and sisters of the same delivery was prohibited.
36:31But different delivery was permitted.
36:32Different, I'm sorry?
36:33Different deliveries.
36:34Deliveries.
36:35If brothers and sisters born in the same delivery, they were not permitted to marry.
36:38But different delivery, they were permitted.
36:40And later on the rule came that marrying brother and sister of the same delivery,
36:44different delivery is prohibited.
36:45The rules keep on changing.
36:47But the final concept, the basic is same.
36:50Now coming to your question.
36:51That if humanity has evolved, then Adam and Eve, they would have been handicapped.
36:56So that's from telling you, it is not 100% that if a brother and sister marry, they should be handicapped.
37:01It's not at all 100%.
37:03Chances are more maybe 1%, maybe 2%.
37:06It's not 100% at all.
37:07For example, if you have extra marital sex, not that you will get AIDS.
37:15It's not a must you will get STD.
37:16Chances are there.
37:18Whatever, it's not a must.
37:19For example, if you jump from the first floor.
37:22If you jump from first floor, there's chances you'll die.
37:25Chances.
37:25Yes.
37:25What?
37:26Maybe 1%, maybe 2%.
37:28If you jump from 100 floor, chances may be 99%.
37:31Correct?
37:32I agree.
37:33So just because if I tell you, if you jump from first floor, you may die.
37:36That doesn't mean you have to die.
37:38Chances may be 0.5%, 0.1%.
37:41First floor is not very high.
37:43Similarly, there are chances.
37:44It doesn't mean that the person will have genetic problems.
37:47This is what when you pose a question, you should know the percentage.
37:51The percentage is very small.
37:54And furthermore, that proves that previously it wasn't the case.
37:57So what we realize, that this is not a must.
38:02It's not a must.
38:03But previously in olden days, yes, brothers and sisters also got married.
38:08But that time nothing happened.
38:10It's not a very high chances.
38:12And doctors, is it possible?
38:13Any doctor will say it's possible.
38:15If brother, sister got married and did not have genetic problem, very much possible.
38:20No one can debate.
38:21Chances are there, but it'll happen.
38:23So that's how humanity has evolved.
38:25And the ruling about the concern in marriage I already told you earlier.
38:28Say, yeah.
38:30Do you have any other questions?
38:30Yeah, another one actually.
38:31Sure, most welcome.
38:32Now, this is with regards to the practice of sunnat.
38:35I am told that it is actually emulating the practices done by Prophet Muhammad.
38:40And if we're only supposed to bow down to the formless God, why do we follow practices which are done by a human incarnation?
38:51Particularly things like growing your hair to a certain length, which may not have a particular significance in terms of benefit.
38:58Or kissing the Hazrat Aswad when someone also declined that you're just a stone and Prophet Muhammad didn't kiss you.
39:04I wouldn't do this either.
39:05Brother, that's a very good question.
39:07That's a very good question that when we agree Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is not Almighty God.
39:12Why do you have to emulate him?
39:14Why do you have to copy him?
39:15If he's the incarnation of God.
39:16He's not incarnation of God.
39:17A human incarnate, a human form.
39:20He's a human being.
39:22He's the best human being, but he's not God.
39:24Why do we follow?
39:26Because Almighty God has said that.
39:28Quran says in Surah Nisa chapter 4 verse 59.
39:31Atiyu Allah, Atiyu Rasul.
39:33Obey Allah and obey the messenger.
39:35God has said, God said follow the Prophet we follow.
39:39For example, I'm the boss of a company.
39:41I tell, follow my general manager.
39:44Now, you will say, why follow general manager, boss?
39:49Boss is saying so.
39:51If boss says, you have to follow.
39:54Unless the general manager goes against me.
39:57And if the trusted general manager never goes against me.
40:00So similarly, the Prophet will never go against the teachings of Almighty God.
40:03It is because he is the messenger who has got the message of God for us.
40:08So when you emulate him, it gives us no blessings.
40:12But we can't worship him.
40:14We love the Prophet.
40:15We revere him.
40:16We love him.
40:17We obey him.
40:18But we don't worship him.
40:19So people who go to Dargah,
40:21Khaja Muinudin, Chisti and all this, this is wrong?
40:24It's nowhere mentioned in the Quran to go to Dargah.
40:26There's no hadith saying go to Dargah.
40:28And the second part, the significance of Haji Aswad.
40:36Haji Aswad, again, because the Prophet kissed it, I'm emulating.
40:39It doesn't become the Fard.
40:41It's not compulsory, you have to do it.
40:43Sunnat means you will get blessing.
40:46But in Sunnat, if you don't do, there's no negative point.
40:48In Fard, you have to do it.
40:50If you don't do it, negative points.
40:52Like praying five times, you have to do.
40:54Don't do negative points.
40:55Sunnat means if you do plus points,
40:58if you don't do, no negative points.
41:00So these are additional bonus points.
41:01So if you want bonus, you can do it.
41:03Not compulsory.
41:04If you don't do it, no one can say that you're not a good Muslim.
41:08So when you do it, you get additional bonus points.
41:10And a good Muslim tries to get more bonus points,
41:13but no one can say it's a sin.
41:15Therefore, it becomes a Sunnat.
41:16The Prophet kissed it, we are kissing it.
41:18Even if you don't kiss it, yet there's no problem.
41:21Hope that answers the question.
41:21Thanks very much.
41:22You're welcome.
41:23The next question from the Brother side.
41:27Hi, Dr. Zakir Nayek.
41:28My name is Sinto John.
41:30I work for RAK Ceramics as a sales executive.
41:33I'm a Christian and a strong believer in Jesus Christ as my God.
41:37I am well aware that all Muslims do consider Jesus Christ
41:41to high regard as a prophet.
41:44My question is regarding the issue on prohibition of pork in Islam.
41:48My first question is, do you consider all the words of Jesus
41:52and the miracles performed by Jesus as mentioned in the Bible?
41:56And if so, let me explain to you one thing.
41:59The premise in which Christians believe that pork or no food is prohibited
42:02is from the Gospel when Jesus says that
42:06whatever comes into you goes out of you,
42:10but what comes from your heart is what makes a man pure or impure.
42:13So if you consider that, then why do you think,
42:17and if you consider Jesus as a prophet,
42:19then why do you say that pork is prohibited in Islam?
42:22And if not, what do you think Jesus meant when he said that?
42:27Before I answer the question,
42:29I'd like to welcome the chairman of the Dubai International Holy Quran Award,
42:33Mr. Ibrahim Bumala,
42:35and also the deputy chairman, Dr. Saeed,
42:38for giving us a wonderful opportunity
42:40and making us available to this hall till so late also, MashaAllah.
42:44I'd like to thank him.
42:45And I pray to Almighty God that he gives more opportunity
42:48for people of Dubai to hear such lectures,
42:51and so that more and more people get hidayah.
42:53And Inshallah, Inshallah,
42:54the thawab of the people accepting Islam
42:56will also go to the Dubai International Quran Award.
42:58Inshallah.
42:59To Dr. Ibrahim Bumala and also to Sheikh Mohammed, Inshallah.
43:04The brother has the question that,
43:06do I believe in the miracles of Jesus Christ mentioned in the Bible?
43:10Brother, I believe whatever is mentioned in the Bible,
43:15if it matches with the Quran, I believe in it.
43:18If it goes against the Quran, I disbelieve in it.
43:21If it does not go against, does not match, it is ambiguous.
43:24Whatever is matching with the Quran, I believe in it.
43:27As far as the second part of the question is concerned,
43:29that you say, regarding the prohibition of pork,
43:33it has been nullified because Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
43:36says, whatever comes in to you goes out,
43:39and main thing is from your heart.
43:41How does this nullify?
43:42You fail to realize that means you are not reading the Bible.
43:46Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, said,
43:47in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter number 5,
43:49verse number 17 to 20, it says,
43:51Think not that I have come to destroy the law of the prophets.
43:56I have come not to destroy but to fulfill.
43:59I have come not to destroy but to fulfill.
44:01Whosoever shall break one jot or little from the law,
44:05he will be called least in the kingdom of heaven.
44:08That means you cannot break one jot or little from the law.
44:12That's what Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, said.
44:13Now you pick up another verse and says,
44:15what comes in to you goes out,
44:17what is from your heart, you can have pork.
44:19Where does it mean you can have pork?
44:21You are contradicting your God.
44:23Jesus Christ, peace be upon him.
44:25It says, think not that I have come to destroy the law of the prophets.
44:29I have come not to destroy but to fulfill.
44:32Unless the heavens and the earth pass away,
44:34not one jot or little can pass away from the law until they are fulfilled.
44:38And whosoever shall break one law or little,
44:41he shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven.
44:43Whosoever shall keep it and teach men the same,
44:46they shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
44:47Unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and the Pharisees,
44:52in no way shall you enter the kingdom of heaven.
44:54So if you want to go to Jannah,
44:55you have to be better than the Jews.
44:57You have to follow each and every commandment of Moses,
44:58peace be upon him.
44:59This is the teaching of Jesus, guys.
45:01Gospel of Matthew, chapter number 5, verse number 17 to 20.
45:05Okay, if that is so,
45:06then what do you think he meant when he said
45:07that whatever you eat comes in,
45:10whatever comes in and goes out of you,
45:12what is from your heart,
45:14what decides what is pure or impure?
45:16It is simple, what comes in goes out.
45:17What is the problem in that?
45:18Whatever you eat goes out.
45:20Is there any problem in that?
45:21No, it was asked in relevance
45:22when Jesus' disciples were questioned by the Jews
45:25that why are they not following the traditional ceremony
45:28of washing their hands before eating food?
45:30That's when Jesus replied
45:31that don't you understand that what you eat
45:33doesn't matter if it is pure or impure.
45:35What you eat, it goes into you and comes out of you.
45:38He didn't say it doesn't matter
45:39what you are eating is pure and impure.
45:41No, that's your saying.
45:42It's not mentioned in the Bible that way.
45:44No, it is mentioned in the Bible that what you eat...
45:45Does it say that whether what you are eating
45:47is pure or impure doesn't matter?
45:49Does it say that?
45:49No, it doesn't say.
45:50I'm sorry.
45:50So please, please don't put your words in the Bible, please.
45:53Fine, fine, fine.
45:54But...
45:54What I am quoting is verbatim.
45:57Fine.
45:57You can check up.
45:58I am quoting from my memory.
45:59I don't have the Bible in front of me.
46:00What you are saying,
46:01you are putting your words into the Bible.
46:02No, but he definitely said
46:03that what you eat comes out of you.
46:05Of course, what you eat has to come out.
46:07What you eat has to come out.
46:08We are human beings.
46:09He wouldn't simply state that for,
46:11I don't know, for no man's sake.
46:13It is simple.
46:13What you eat comes out simple.
46:14Your heart means it is from your heart.
46:17That means your heart should follow the commandment.
46:19Because Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
46:21said earlier,
46:22don't break one jot or tittle.
46:24So if your heart is in it,
46:25you will not break a single jot or tittle.
46:27Simple explanation.
46:28Fine, but he was...
46:28You don't have to be a doctor of divinity.
46:30He was trying to prove the Jews wrong
46:32by saying that it is not important.
46:33No, not at all.
46:35He wasn't trying to do that.
46:36That's what you think.
46:37That's what the church tells you.
46:39It's plain black and white.
46:40No, no.
46:41Jesus said you cannot break one jot or tittle from the law.
46:44So where is he telling the Jews to break the law of Judaism?
46:47He is not telling that.
46:49He is not giving any indication for the Jews
46:51to break the laws of Judaism.
46:54He is telling them to obey.
46:56It is your understanding of the Bible.
46:58No way does the Bible say that.
47:00He did think that the Jews were not completely obeying the laws.
47:02Correct.
47:03I agree with you.
47:03They were not completely obeying
47:05because they did not believe in the fulfillment of the Messiah.
47:09Because the Jewish scripture says
47:11there is a Messiah to come.
47:12We Muslims, we believe in it.
47:14The Jews don't believe.
47:15So he was trying to explain to them,
47:17I am the Messiah.
47:18But that doesn't mean he was trying to break the laws of the Jews.
47:22He was trying to fulfill.
47:24Think not that I have come to destroy the law of the prophets.
47:27I have come not to destroy but to fulfill.
47:29Simple.
47:30I am asking you,
47:31do you have pork, brother?
47:33I am sorry?
47:34Do you have pork?
47:36Yeah, I, I mean, occasionally.
47:37That means you are not a good Christian.
47:40You are not a good Christian.
47:41Even occasionally you break one law or a title,
47:43you shall not go to Jannah.
47:45Not Quran says that.
47:47Bible says that.
47:48Even if you have pork and you break one law or a title,
47:51you shall not go to paradise.
47:52You shall not enter eternal life.
47:55And you said that you are a practicing Christian.
47:56You said you believe Jesus Christ is God.
47:58I don't believe Jesus is God but I follow his teachings.
48:01I love him more than you.
48:03This is what Jesus said.
48:05It's from the heart.
48:06This is the explanation of your worth.
48:08It's from my heart.
48:09I love him.
48:10I love Jesus Christ.
48:11Peace be upon him.
48:12Do you?
48:13I don't think so.
48:14It is theoretical.
48:15Not from your heart.
48:16Verbally, yes.
48:17No, I do.
48:18Very strongly.
48:18So if you strongly believe in Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
48:21why are you disobeying him?
48:23Why?
48:24Why are you disobeying him?
48:26I don't, I didn't think, I don't think I am disobeying him until now.
48:30But I'm quoting you from the Bible, Gospel of Matthew chapter 5 verse 17.
48:34Think not I have come to destroy the law of the prophets.
48:36And I've given you a quotation from Leviticus chapter 11 verse 7 to 8.
48:40Deuteronomy chapter 14 verse number 8.
48:41Book of Isaiah chapter 65 verse number 2 to 5.
48:44References.
48:44Okay, if that's the case in the Old Testament it has said that
48:47an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
48:49But what did Jesus Christ say?
48:50If somebody slaps you, show him the other side.
48:52Now what is, isn't that like a defying of the law?
48:55No, it's not defying.
48:57I will give you what you're quoting is references
48:59from the Gospel of Matthew chapter number 5 verse number 38.
49:03Okay.
49:03I will give the quotation.
49:04I don't want the quotation, I want the answer for my question.
49:07But first I'll give the quotation reference, then I'll give the answer.
49:09Fine, fine.
49:10I always give with proof.
49:11You believe without proof you can do that.
49:13I'm a man of proof.
49:15With references.
49:16From your scripture.
49:18Okay.
49:22Gospel of Matthew chapter number 5 verse number 38.
49:24It has been said of the old times.
49:27That an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
49:28But I say unto you,
49:30whosoever takes a shirt, give him the cloak.
49:31Whoever walks with you one mile, walk with him twain.
49:34Whosoever offers you one cheek, offer him the other.
49:38That's it.
49:39It doesn't mean that he's going against it.
49:41But he's showing it has been said of the old times.
49:45But those two laws don't correspond.
49:46They are totally different.
49:47They're totally against each other.
49:49But those things, what Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, said,
49:52it's time to get remedy.
49:53People misunderstood.
49:55They misunderstood the law.
49:57An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth means there should be justice.
50:00That doesn't mean someone by mistake, a child is playing cricket.
50:04And if the ball hits the eye, that doesn't mean you break his eye.
50:09People misunderstood the message.
50:10He was correcting it.
50:12Same way how you misunderstood the message that Jesus said I have poked.
50:15Where did he say I have poked?
50:17It means that people misunderstood.
50:20They are following the law by the letter, not by the spirit.
50:22What you have to realize that it means that if by mistake someone is playing cricket
50:28and suppose the ball hits the eye,
50:31that doesn't mean that you have to take the eye of the boy.
50:34So you have to follow the law in the spirit.
50:36And you have to see the meaning of it.
50:38That's important.
50:39That's what Jesus Christ, peace be upon him tried to explain.
50:42I'm asking the question.
50:43Will you follow Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, law today?
50:45If someone slaps you on one cheek, will you offer the other?
50:48There are many people waiting in the queue.
50:50Will you do that?
50:50I'm sorry?
50:51There are many people waiting in the queue.
50:54Okay.
50:54Will you follow Jesus' law?
50:55If someone slaps you, will you offer the other?
50:57No, but that is wrong then.
50:59According to me it is wrong.
51:00According to you it is correct, na?
51:02You believe Jesus Christ is your God, peace be upon him.
51:05Yes.
51:05If someone slaps you, will you offer the other?
51:07So you can come on the stage here.
51:09We'll have many people slapping you.
51:11I didn't understand actually.
51:13It's not clear.
51:13That verse of the Bible also says someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other.
51:17Yeah.
51:18Do you believe in that law?
51:19I do, yes.
51:20So if someone slaps you, will you offer the other cheek?
51:22Exactly.
51:23If I don't, that means I'm disobeying his laws.
51:25That's it.
51:26Okay.
51:26Suppose if I tell that from today, everyone will come and hit you on the cheek.
51:30Maybe once or twice you'll offer.
51:32Will you offer always?
51:33Well, that depends on my depth of the faith.
51:36I mean, if I'm a really strong believer, then I would definitely offer.
51:38Is any Christian worth the name born today who will keep on offering his cheek?
51:43I have not met anyone.
51:44Do you agree that 30,000 people here, 30,000 slaps will you take?
51:47But believe me that there are really true believers who would.
51:49I am asking you, will you, leave us as others, will you?
51:52I don't know.
51:54That means not a believer.
51:56That's what you realize it is.
51:57I don't know if the answer.
51:57Therefore, what we realize that every prophet came and for remedy.
52:02Today, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has come.
52:03And he said, depending upon the situation, if it is by mistake, an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth is wrong.
52:09If it is required, sometimes you can offer your cheek, but not always.
52:13If always, if you offer the cheek, where is justice?
52:16If that way someone kills you, you allow them to kill again?
52:20Is this justice?
52:21It's not justice at all.
52:22Depending upon the situation, you have to keep on changing.
52:25Therefore, I say that I believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, which match with the Quran.
52:34If it doesn't match with the Quran, what I say, it's an interpolation.
52:38It's a concoction.
52:39It's a fabrication.
52:40Because everything written in the Bible is not the word of God.
52:44According to scholars of Christianity, they say there are many interpolations in the Bible.
52:49There are many concoctions.
52:50There are many fabrications.
52:51According to Christian journals, they say there are 50,000 errors in the Bible.
52:57How many?
52:5950,000.
53:00So therefore, I don't consider the Bible to be the word of God.
53:03There are many unscientific things mentioned in the Bible.
53:06If you read the book of Genesis, you know, I can give a lecture only on the contradictions, on unscientific things.
53:13I don't consider the word of God.
53:14Do you consider the Bible to be the word of God?
53:16Yes.
53:17Okay.
53:17Okay.
