Fariq Naik – What Distinguishes Islam from Other Ideologies

			The topic of my talk is Islam, the
solution for humanity. Islam comes
		

			from the root word Salam which
means peace. It is also derived
		

			from the Arabic word sin, which
means to submit your will to the
		

			will of Allah subhanaw taala.
Thus, Islam means peace acquired
		

			by submitting your will, to the
will of Allah subhanaw taala. So
		

			the topic of today's talk is peace
acquired by submitting your will,
		

			to the will of Allah subhanaw
taala the solution for humanity.
		

			Islam. Unlike other religions,
which cater only to the spiritual
		

			needs of the body, or the only
cater to the physical needs of the
		

			body, certain isms for example,
materialism, communism, they only
		

			cater to the physical needs of the
body, while other religions only
		

			cater to the spiritual needs of
the soul.
		

			Islam caters to both aspects, the
spiritual needs of the soul as
		

			well as the physical needs of the
body. Islam is a way of life is a
		

			dean.
		

			So it caters to the spiritual
needs of the soul, as well as the
		

			physical needs of the body
		

			and the Glorious Quran, it is a
solution for humanity, the
		

			Glorious Quran, it is the most
positive book in the world. It is
		

			a proclamation to humanity, it is
a fountain of Mercy and wisdom. It
		

			is a warning to the heedless, A
Guide to the errand or solace to
		

			the suffering and the whole to
those in despair, the Glorious
		

			Quran, it is the most positive
book in the world. Now, when
		

			anyone comes up with a solution,
what will you do? You will want to
		

			know the source you will want to
know the authenticity. For
		

			example, if a doctor gives a
patient certain prescription, the
		

			patient will want to know
regarding this prescription, what
		

			are the qualifications of the
doctor. So whenever any
		

			prescription is given to an
individual, the person will want
		

			to know who has given the
prescription, is it given by a
		

			doctor what is qualifications?
Similarly, when we see that the
		

			Glorious Quran, it is a solution
for humanity. People would want to
		

			know especially the non Muslims,
who is the author of the Glorious
		

			Quran, what is the source of the
Glorious Quran? What is the
		

			authenticity of the Glorious Quran
and I cannot give you the solution
		

			for humanity. I am zero in Islam,
the best to give us human beings a
		

			solution for humanity. It is the
creator, the Lord of the universe,
		

			the Lord who created us human
beings, the Sustainer, the
		

			Cherisher of human beings. He is
the best who can tell us regarding
		

			the solution for humanity. So the
Glorious Quran, it has the
		

			solution to the problems of
humanity.
