00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

The first lecture that I had was on the topic, Islam and

00:00:45 --> 00:00:50

Christianity a comparative study. It was in the university Osmond

00:00:50 --> 00:00:54

00:00:54 --> 00:00:58

was a resounding success or Hamdulillah. And a lot of youth

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

00:01:25 --> 00:01:29

the Muslims that they're very receptive when it comes to Islamic

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

work when it comes to the Hawa. When it comes to learning about

00:01:32 --> 00:01:36

Islam, and especially the youth, they are very enthusiastic, to do

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

something for the deen to do something for the cause of Islam.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

Even when I was interacting with many of the youth, they were very

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

interested in key in in learning about Dawa, the different ways of

They requested me to talk about Islam and Christianity, so that we

00:01:56 --> 00:02:01

can talk about the similarities and live in peace and harmony.

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

These are the two great religions in Nigeria, Islam and

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07

Christianity. So we should not fight over the differences, but

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

rather focus on the similarities and live with peace and harmony.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:14

world religions Islam and Christianity, they focus upon the

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

Oneness of Allah subhanaw taala. This is mentioned the Quran and it
