00:00:04 --> 00:00:09
			It is the duty of every Muslim to
convey the message of Islam to the
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:13
			non Muslims to those who are
unaware of it.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			It is compulsory on every Muslim
to do Dawa
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			Dawa means an invitation.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			And there are various
methodologies of conveying the
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			message of Islam.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:36
			The most common methodology is
when a Muslim meets a non Muslim,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			he speaks 100 good points about
Islam.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:46
			Even if the non Muslim he agrees
with all the 100 good points that
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:51
			have been spoken, yet, at the back
of his mind, he will have a few
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:58
			negative points. He may say, Ya, I
agree what has been spoken? But
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:03
			you are the same Muslim? Who's a
terrorist? Ah, you are the same
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:09
			Muslim? Who's the fundamentalist?
Ah, you are the same people who
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			spread your religion at the point
of the assault.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			You are the people to subjugate
the woman.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:22
			These few negative points at the
back of his mind will prevent him
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			from accepting the beauty of
Islam.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:31
			That's the reason when I meet a
non Muslim what I prefer, I asked
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:36
			him upfront, what does he feel is
wrong with Islam? With the limited
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:40
			knowledge whether right or wrong?
What does he feel is wrong with
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:46
			Islam? And after he's made
comfortable, and he's at ease,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			he poses three or four questions.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:56
			And there are a set of 20 most
common questions asked by non
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			Muslims regarding Islam.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			And these three or four questions
that invariably fall in the 20
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			most common questions
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:12
			every Muslim, he should be aware
of these 20 most common questions
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:16
			with references from the Glorious
Quran, authentic Hadees with
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:22
			reason and logic? How do these
misconceptions arise in the minds
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			of non Muslims?
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:30
			Today, in the international media,
there is whittling propaganda
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:35
			about Islam, the media, it is
bombarding misinformation about
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			Islam.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			But it'd be the international news
channel, whether it be the radio
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:46
			broadcast stations, whether it be
the internet, there is virulent
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			propaganda about Islam in the
international media.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:54
			So, every Muslim, he should be
aware of these 20 most common
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:00
			questions and wherever you go
these 20 questions, they are the
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:00
			same.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:06
			There may be one or two additional
questions, but the remaining 20
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			questions, they are the same
wherever you go.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			Like if you go in the Western
countries, there may be an
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:19
			additional question, why does
Islam prohibit the giving and
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			taking of interest?
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:26
			But the remaining 20 questions,
they are the same wherever you go.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:33
			Like how if you want to appear for
an examination, you refer to the
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			guide
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:41
			in India, you have the enough need
21 Most likely questions to appear
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			in the examination.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:48
			If you want to get favorably good,
not excellent. If you want to pass
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:53
			as far as the examination is
concerned, you refer to the guide
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			and you have such books in almost
all countries of the world.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:04
			Similarly, if every Muslim is
aware of this 20 most common
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			questions he will do his father
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:12
			and he will become a part time
die. So every Muslim they should
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:17
			be aware of these 20 most common
questions. As far as today's talk
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			is concerned, I will not be able
to cover all the 20 most common
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			questions due to the time
limitation.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:33
			But you can go on our website
www.irf.net where the answers are
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			given in detail.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:40
			As for those non Muslims who go
out of the way on anti Islamic
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:45
			sites and get information against
Islam, there are a set of another
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:51
			20 common questions. So 20 common
questions to those non Muslims who
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:56
			have gone on anti Islamic sites
and have got information against
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			Islam
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			that we will
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			We'll be discussing today
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:07
			even that is there on our website
