			How do these misconceptions arise
in the minds of non Muslims?
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:13
			Today, in the international media,
there is virulent propaganda about
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:18
			Islam, the media, it is bombarding
misinformation about Islam,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			whether it be the international
news channels, whether it be the
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			radio broadcast stations, whether
it be the television channels,
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:28
			whether it be the newspapers,
there is virulent propaganda about
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:33
			Islam in the international media.
So based upon how the media
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:38
			portrays Islam is misconceptions
that arise in the mind of non
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			Muslims. And the order of this
misconceptions. These
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			misconceptions it changes
depending upon how the media it
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:50
			portrays Islam, as that is
virulent propaganda about Islam in
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			the international media, the media
is maligning Islam. As far as
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
			today's talk is concern. Time does
not permit me to discuss all the
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			20 most common questions or
misconceptions that are there in
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			the minds of non Muslims. Due to
time limitation, I will only
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:09
			discuss the first eight from among
the 20 most common questions asked
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			by non Muslims regarding Islam.
For the remaining most common
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:16
			questions, you can go on the
website Zakir Naik, dotnet. The
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:20
			first most common question asked
by non Muslims are misconception
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:24
			that is in the minds of non
Muslims. The top of the charts, it
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28
			is regarding the word jihad. Many
people including many Muslims or
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:33
			non Muslims think jihad is any war
fought by any Muslim whether it be
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			for any reason, whether it be for
land, whether it be for language,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:40
			whether it be for power, whether
it be for money, Jihad does not
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:46
			mean any war fought by any Muslim,
whether it be for land, whether it
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			be for language, whether it be for
power, whether it be for money.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:54
			Jihad basically means to strive,
it means to struggle, and an
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			Islamic context. Jihad also means
to strive and struggle against
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:02
			oppression. Jihad also means to
strive and struggle against one's
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:07
			own evil inclination. Jihad also
means to strive and struggle to
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:11
			make the society better. Jihad
also means to strive and struggle
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			in self defense in the
battlefield. So Jihad basically
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			means to strive, it means to
struggle. For example, if a
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:24
			student is striving and struggling
to pass an examination in Arabic,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:28
			you would say that he's doing
jihad. And many people have a
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:35
			misconception that Jihad can only
be done by Muslims. There are no
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			less than two different verses in
the Glorious Quran which talk
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:42
			about Jihad being done by non
Muslims. Allah subhanaw taala says
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			in the Glorious Quran, and Sunnah
Look, man, chapter number 31 was
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			Psalm 14, what was finally inside
of you validation. And you have
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			enjoined upon man to be kind to
spare since his mother bought him
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:57
			at travail upon travail, and his
weaning is in two years. The next
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			was of Serato Lachman, chap number
31 was 15 Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			says that in the parents they do
jihad, strive and struggle to make
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:11
			you worship Allah, Allah subhanaw
taala to be them, but live with
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			them with love and compassion. And
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			Allah subhanaw taala also repeats
a similar message in Switzerland
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:22
			Kabu chapter number 29 was Psalm
eight. But if the parents they do
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			jihad strive and struggle to make
your worship others besides Allah
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:29
			subhanaw taala then do not obey
them, but yet live with them with
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:33
			love and compassion. So your Allah
subhanaw taala is talking about
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:38
			non Muslim parents who are doing
jihad striving and struggling to
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			make their children worship others
besides Allah subhanaw taala this
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:47
			type of jihad, it is jihad
feasterville shaytaan jihad in the
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:51
			way or the path of the Satan, what
we Muslim should do is jihad
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:56
			feasable Allah, jihad in the way
of Allah subhanaw taala. But
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:00
			normally when the term jihad is
used, it is taken for granted that
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:04
			it is jihad visa vie the law
unless specified. So Jihad
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			basically means to strive and to
struggle, for example, striving
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			and struggle against one's own
evil inclination, striving and
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:16
			struggling against oppression. One
type of jihad is Qatar, that is
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			fighting in the way of Allah
subhanaw taala. But Jihad does not
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:24
			basically mean a war. Jihad
basically means to strive, it
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:28
			means to struggle. Many non
Muslims, including many so called
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:34
			Muslim scholars, inverted commas,
they translate this word jihad as
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:34
			holy war.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:40
			Nowhere is this word holy word
present in the Glorious Quran, or
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			in the authentic a hadith of our
beloved Prophet Muhammad, may
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			peace and blessings be upon him.
This word holy war in Arabic, it
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			is hard to
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			know where is this word?
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:55
			present in the Glorious Quran, or
in any authentic hadith of our
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			beloved Prophet Muhammad? May
peace and blessings be upon him.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			This word holy war it was full
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			used to describe the Christian
Crusaders, the Crusades, who
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			spread Christianity at the point
of the assault.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:13
			So Jihad does not basically mean a
war. Jihad basically means to
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			strive and struggle.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			And if we look at the lifestyle of
our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:25
			be upon him the first 13 years of
prophethood. During the Meccan
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			period, there were several verses
that were revealed, which talk
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			about jihad.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:34
			But there was no war that took
place at that time and this was
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:34
			revealed.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:40
			And Allah subhanaw taala says in
the Glorious Quran in surah Blanca
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			Bucha app number 29 was Psalm 69
While lady Nyjah hadoo fina letter
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			Vietnam, Cebu Lana, we're in Hola,
hola man, Maxine, and those who
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:53
			strive in our way we shall surely
open up their pathways. But this
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:57
			was was revealed there was no war
that took place at the time. Allah
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			subhanaw taala also says the
glorious transporter for Khan
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:05
			chapter 25 was supposed to fall
out McAfee Rena wotja He don't be
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:09
			Jihad Kabira then do not follow
the unbelievers. But strive with
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:13
			them strenuously against the
Glorious Quran. Do you mean to say
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:17
			you're going to find it the Quran
but natural No. And when this was
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			was revealed, there was no war
that took place. What does it
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:24
			mean? It means that you have to
strive and struggle to convey the
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:28
			message of Islam to the non
Muslims to those who are unaware
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:32
			of it. Therefore, previously this
misconception regarding jihad, it
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:36
			was not at the top of the charts.
So depending upon how the media,
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:41
			it portrays Islam, these
misconceptions arise in the minds
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:47
			of non Muslims. And one verse of
the Glorious Quran is sufficient
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:53
			to prove that Islam was not spread
by the sword. Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			says in the Glorious Quran so to
mind that chapter five verse
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:00
			number 32. Man, enough some divine
enough's officer I didn't feel
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:05
			forgotten Nana patella NASA Jamia
that if anyone kills any human
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			being, unless it be for murder,
offers printing corruption in the
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:11
			line, it is as if he has killed
the whole of humanity, woman
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:19
			and message me and if anyone sees
any single human being, it is as
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:24
			if we are saved the whole of
humanity. Killing any innocent
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:28
			human being is prohibited. It is
against the teachings of the
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:32
			Glorious Quran, it is against the
teachings of Islam. So Jihad
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:37
			basically means to strive it means
to struggle depending upon how the
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:42
			media portrays Islam. These
misconceptions arise in the minds
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:46
			of the non Muslims. Unfortunately
we Muslims, we are very backward
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:51
			as far as using media for that
less concern. We should use media
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			to convey the message of Islam in
a professional manner.
