So to our young people
and older people,
don't fall into an anti Muslim rabbit hole
on the Internet
or on YouTube, where the Quran is being
attacked.
Most of these anti Muslim channels,
take it from me, I give you
sincere advice. I've been dealing with these people
for decades.
Most of these anti Muslim channels are run
by a bunch of charlatans
who take advantage of the average Muslims' ignorance
of certain particular issues.
They want us to chase these red herrings
and thus cause us to doubt the strength
of our overall established narrative.
Sometimes Muslim scholars have to listen to
this garbage in order to formulate refutations
if they feel that it's necessary.
But the average lay Muslim should not even
click on these videos. Just ignore the algorithm.
Imam Al Ghazari, he said that just listening
to a zindik
or a mubtadir.
Listening. Just listening
to a heretic or an innovator is a
breach of the right, a breach of the
hack of the ear. It is impermissible for
your ear
to hear such things, let alone listening to
some vile kafir
or moustahazi,
some mocker who hates Islam because the truth
of Islam
destroys his own false theology,
or the ethical positions of Islam
denounce his own degenerate lifestyle.
This is really at the root of their
hatred. Many Christian apologists and polemicists who attack
the Quran,
much of their vitriol is due to the
fact that they recognize
they recognize the truth of our narrative
when it comes to the Quran.
So they're filled with envy and frustration,
because their narrative
has been utterly deconstructed
by secular academics
and historians.
This is called the guilt complex.
They accuse our narrative of falsehood and attack
our scripture because they know that their own
narrative in scripture
is in utter shambles.
How do we know this? We read the
Quran.
The ayat of the Quran are so perfect,
are so succinct.
It's all in the Quran.
What does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala say?
Many of the people of the book, many
of the ahlid kitah,
they long to make you disbelievers
after you have believed
through envy,
through hasad
on their own account after the haqq, after
the truth has become manifest to them.
Forgive and pardon
until Allah
brings his command.
Indeed, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is over everything
powerful.
And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, essentially,
get to work.
So establish the prayer
and pay the charity.
And whatever good you send before you for
your souls, you will find it with Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Indeed, Allah is concerning what
you do all seeing.
And they say none will enter paradise
unless he be a Jew or a Christian.
These are their vain delusions.
Say, bring your proof if you are truthful.
Know, whosoever submits to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
and is a doer of good, his reward
is with his Lord, and no fear shall
come upon them neither shall they grieve.
And the Jews say the Christians follow nothing
true, and the Jews So then the Christian
The Jews say the Christians follow nothing true,
and the Christians say the Jews follow nothing
true, yet they are both readers of the
Bible.
Like this speak those who don't know anything.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will judge between them
on the day of resurrection concerning what they
differed about.
Sadaf Allah.
This is perfect.
SubhanAllah.
The Jews say that God is absolutely 1.
The Christians say that he's 3 and 1.
There's a trinity. The Jews say that God
is not a man. The Christians say God
became a man who died for our sins,
a'udhubillah.
The Jews say that repentance is all you
need to be right with God again. The
Christians say reconciliation is through blood sacrifice and
vicarious atonement. The Jews say that every single
commandment
of the Old Testament is still binding. The
Christians say the vast majority of the commandments
are abrogated.
And they're both reading the same exact book.
Look at the chaos.
Not only this, the Quran says, and modern
textual criticism
has confirmed
that the Bible, Old and New Testaments have
suffered a degree of textual and exegetical corruption.
There's no doubt about this. I can give
you example, heaped upon example, but this is
not the occasion.
But this is the state of their text.
Yet because of a guilt complex,
they attack the Quran. You know what they
say about people who live in glass houses?
And it's not all of them. They're not
all the same.
Right? We're speaking in general terms.
