			There is a Hadith of our beloved
Prophet Muhammad may peace and
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			blessings be upon him with an
almighty Allah one he was reciting
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:11
			certain manuscripts of a part of
some other religion. And when he
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			came to our beloved Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon with these
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			manuscripts of some other
religion, our beloved Prophet
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			Muhammad may peace and blessings
be upon him he was upset. So why
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			was a beloved Prophet Muhammad
peace be upon upset because a
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25
			person should not use the
scriptures of the other religions
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:29
			as a source of guidance? Allah
subhanaw taala says in the
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			glorious France so to Al Imran
Chapter number three was Psalm 64
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:36
			Kalia Halal Kitab sale people of
the book The ILO Illa,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			collimating, Salah in binding
albino come to common terms as the
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:44
			as a new, which the first term
Allah, Allah, that we worship none
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			but for an almighty God. This was
the glorious grant according to
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			me, it is the master key for doing
Dawa. It shows us how to talk to
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55
			different types of people, people
of different religions. And Allah
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:59
			subhanaw taala in this verse is
telling us to come to common terms
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:03
			with the people of the book, and
how we will talk about the
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			commonalities if we do not quote
from their religious scriptures.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			So that's the reason when an
individual is quoting from the
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:14
			scriptures of the other religions,
it should be for the purpose of
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:18
			Dawa. We should not use the
scriptures of the other religions
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:23
			as a source of guidance. The only
source of guidance for us Muslim
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			that is the Glorious Quran and
authentic teachings of our beloved
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			Prophet Muhammad. May peace and
blessings be upon him.
