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commonalities if we do not quote from their religious scriptures.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.
