Hi, I'm Alec Markkula
Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
salatu salam ala Rasulillah al Amin, what Allah, he was happy he
made a movie about.
What we're going to do tonight is an exercise that I've done before.
I think I did it for the older youth one time here. I did MCC one
time for the youth. So
it's basically an exercise to prove it to be able to prove to
anyone, whether Muslim or non Muslim, atheist, Christian doesn't
matter, that Islam is the truth, the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam
was a genuine prophet. And that the Quran is from Allah subhanaw
taala.
So as some of you know that I have this doll workshop called How to
Get a shahada in 10 minutes. And the in the workshop, the longest
version is a four day program. And we probably go over 60 Different
techniques or something like that. But if you were to ask me, like,
what is the most effective? What is the strongest technique? That's
the one we're gonna do today? The first time use this technique I
was, I was like, you know, my very early 20s. And I was in biology
class. And this guy, young, young Muslim comes up to me and he has,
he wants to marry this atheist girl. He said, Can you prove to
her that Allah exists? I said, if she's willing to listen, it's very
easy to prove that Allah exists. Because he said, She's atheist. So
I said, okay, just come, we agreed on a time we met at my house on
Saturday, we went over the arguments by the time and we're
done with the exercise. She was Muslim, she took the shahada, and
they got married. And now they have four children, and they live
in Malaysia.
I've used this technique many times, I believe that if you use
this technique with someone, at the end, they will either take the
shahada or they will get up knowing Islam as the truth. But
for whatever reason, they're not able to become Muslim right now.
But they're no, there's no way they're gonna get up, Dickie.
Well, it could be the truth, no, doesn't work like that. The other
thing is, actually one time we use it on
an ex Muslim, someone who had left Islam and said, you know, they
don't believe in Islam anymore. So we said, Okay, we did the exercise
with them and said, Give us a plausible explanation. Like, how
did this happen? How did the process of notice how did he write
the Quran? How did and then they came back to Islam and
Hamdulillah. So it's a very effective technique.
I used it once on a co worker, and
and then added another thing where I mentioned all the quote,
unquote, talents and skills of the prophets. Allah says Allah, yeah,
and he, if he was not a genuine prophet, He would have to know
about all the sciences 1400 years ago,
and do so just made a list of like 36 different skills, the problem
had that were way, way ahead of his time. And from knowledge of
embryology, to plate tectonics, to cloud formation to all these
things about astrology, astronomy, astronomy, right? Not astrology,
astronomy.
And in the end, they said, Okay, you told me how one man in Arabia
for 1400 years ago was able to know all this. So he said, I
believe that Muhammad Sallallahu sallam was the reincarnation of
all the greatest minds in human history into one person. I said,
I'm gonna ask you a question. Just be honest with me. What do you
think is more plausible, that he's a reincarnation of all the
greatest minds into one person or he was a genuine prophet of Allah?
And he put his head down? He said, Yeah, he was probably just a
genuine prophet of Allah. So, how do we do it? So, you need a blank
sheet of paper and you need some writing instrument, all right. And
you need to lay down some lay some foundations. Alright, so we said
you need a blank sheet of paper writing instrument, and the other
person will whether it is a Muslim who is doubting Islam, or an
atheist who thinks there is no God or a Christian who doesn't think
of Muhammad Salah Salem was a genuine prophet. Here's what we
have. We have two options concerning explain this. The way
I'm saying it to you is say it to the person you want to convince.
We have two options and two options only concerning the
Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam. Either he was a genuine
Prophet, or he was an impostor. True. By the way, feel free to
challenge me on any point you want to it's not not no problem. So
because I
Can hear someone thinking, no, there could be a third option. He
was someone who wanted to affect change in his community, you know,
like Confucius whatever. Yeah, but still, that would put him in which
category imposter, because he's claiming that Gibreel comes to him
with messages from Allah. So maybe he had a good motive, but he would
still not be a genuine prophet. Either he received a message from
Allah through Gibreel, or he did not. These are the two options.
You agree? Yes, thank you. So now what do you do? Now we need to
also describe the environment and the world in which the Prosser
lamb came. So he described Arabia very briefly, that they had
different tribes that would compete, they would rule together,
but they would also compete over the honor and they would compete
over with the earth against each other. And, and sometimes these
tribes go to war with each other. You know, they had one, one war
that was like 10 years or so because of a race, this guy's
horse was faster than the other guy, and he hit him, this guy hit
him, which going on for 10 years. So in and described Metka, how
people came for pilgrimage, and they brought with them
merchandise, wealth, money, and everything. So and it had the
idols around it. And this was a pagan religion on a pagan area. So
if you're going to challenge the religion, and the source of
income, and the power of the Mexicans, for sure, they're going
to try to kill you, yes or no? Yeah, they're gonna try to kill
you. So you must have a strong motive to risk your life.
Now, we're going to do the motors one second. Before that, I want
you want to in the exercise, you're also trying to figure out
how, how much or how little the other person knows, they'll also
give you a clue as to how much you're going to have to hold their
hand throughout the exercise. So you'll say and we're going to do
it together. Suppose someone walked in this room right now and
said, I'm a prophet of God, God sent me and we know He's an
imposter. But through questions only you want to prove that he's
an imposter. So what kind of questions would you ask this
person?
And now I'm asking you for real Yes.
Do you get revelation and he says be unserved?
Hmm, what is the what is that what is like your number one message?
He says the number one message is that you have to obey everything I
said, What would you do? If he said that? You would say Strike
one? Because every prophet that ever came, what was their number
one message to worship Allah Allah, and his number one message
goes against that. So strike one what other question could you ask
him?
What's the name of the angel who comes to you?
He says, Malik
tell them no wrong. The one who always comes to the prophets is
debris. But don't worry, you will see Malik later
love that joke.
The keeper of the Hellfire Malik.
Anyways
All right, I will
now talk my so
are like, you know, this is an example of, of Joseph Smith, you
know, which is the the leader of the, the the guy who made up ish.
Mormonism. Joseph Smith. He was a 14 year old boy, he and he walked
into the woods in upstate New York, and according to him, so God
the Father, and God, the Son, both of them kid addressing him, and
then an angel would come. And he would tell him and give him
revelation and the name of the angel was Moroni
and it tells you what he thinks we are.
Thanks. Thank you, Cara. Can you come out here please?
So, now when is when is the last time one of the prophets was 14.
And then God came to him? Good. God came to him money right in
front of him. or so? Strike one, strike two, strike three, you're
out. So
and then you would ask them like what kind of miracle they could
perform? There are many questions you could ask to see if this
person is genuine or just an imposter, right? Anyways, so now
we're saying we know for sure that this this person who comes with a
new religion in Arabia, that is going to challenge the status of
the McKenzie is going to challenge their economy that's going to
challenge the religion of their forefathers, for sure for sure.
There, he's risking his life. You
They're gonna make attempts on his life, they're gonna go to war
against him. This is something life threatening. So he must have
a very strong motive to do this. So 1400 years ago in Arabia, a man
decides to challenge the religion of his ancestors, and the Arabs
and everyone else, he must have a strong motive. You know, if you
study criminology, you look for two things at a murder scene, you
look for the murder weapon, then you look for the motive, because
that's the narrative you're going to present the judge or the jury
as to why he did it. What made him do it, that motive, so you look
for the motive. So now, what would motivate a man in Arabia 1400
years ago to risk his life and challenge the religion of his
ancestors? He's not a he's not a genuine prophet. He's an impostor.
Because that's what we're examining here. If he were an
imposter, why did he do it? And now whatever motive excuse me
whatever motives they give, write them down. And if they're the more
ridiculous they are, the easier they are to refute later, so don't
worry. All right. So what would motivate a man to risk his life
and create a new religion in Arabia? 1400 years ago? Shout him
out. Money. Hello. Billions gotta
build aliens. Okay to maybe he was an alien. All right, three. What
else you have anything? Ah, thank you very much women.
Power.
Okay, same.
Great. What else we got number six? Yes. None. Yes. Ah.
Misha, Mark
Are you worried casa? We can switch English number cuisine
frequency we're had so good leadership is I can look at
Russia three Arsa anything else? Now I'm
social change. He just wanted to affect social change. Okay.
There's so many more. What else do you have? Be as creative as you
want?
Fame. I was hooked. I think we said fame. Yeah. Number five was
fame status. We're going to put it with with fame. So power, fame,
status, leadership, social. She just wanted to affect social
change. Women. Who's an alien money. Anything else? Hey, well,
Magnus. So I'm going to put madman
schizophrenia
and epilepsy.
Hmm. Chaos. Okay, great. That's a good one. Actually. Yeah, he was
just someone who just loved war. Now. Oh, Misha kill was he just
wanted fighting. Yeah, like peace just want people to go to war and
stuff. Chaos war chaos.
Hmm.
That's 910 Can you think of anything else?
Ego
who is for who was coerced by someone else?
All right, he was coerced by someone else or manipulated by
someone else non selfish. Okay.
Okay, great. Now, anything else?
Hmm.
suicidal.
Just want to end his life.
Now, you don't like it?
Okay.
Okay, so he's saying yes, he just wants to die. I think there are
easier ways to die in Arabia, right? Like he has to write a book
600 pages and try to make it look like it's from God and it has no
mistakes in it and as wisdom and just just to jump off a mountain,
there's so many.
All right, great. Now, what do you do? I'm telling you, I'm not
exaggerating. When I'm talking about the effectiveness of this
exercise, I'm telling you that and inshallah you will find it to be
the case, you go through this exercise from beginning to end.
They either get up a Muslim, or they get up knowing Islam as a
truth. Because give me an explanation. Here we go. So now
what do you have?
We've got this list. We've got 11 motives here. And these motives,
that's that's why he risked his life, meaning he must have loved
money very much that he risked his life created a new religion, just
for the sake of money. Now what we're gonna do, we're gonna use
everything we know about the Prophet sallallahu wasallam, all
this data, and there is no one whose life has been more
thoroughly documented than the prophets of Allah Salah and we
know which direction he combed his hair, which shoe he put on first,
how he relieved himself how he cleaned himself, every detail of
his life, how much he prayed at night how much he fasted during
the day ever
be detailed has been documented. So now we're going to use all this
data to see if any of these motives hold true or not. That's
why I said even if they say ridiculous things, I was doing it
with this Jewish guy one time. And he said, maybe he was from out of
space out of space. Maybe he was an alien. Did you ever think about
like, I don't have to think about let's analyze it. Okay, great. So
let's take the first one on our list. Now what do you know about
the life of the prophet Sallallahu Sallam and his teachings in the
Hadith? And by the way, the Quran also, because remember, if he's an
imposter, he has to write the Quran. And the Quran his book
should reflect his motives. If I'm going to risk my life for money,
what do you think my book is going to say?
Give 10% of your earning your income to the profit give me sure
I'd have another 2% to the profit give just the whole book will be
say give me money because that's what I'm risking my life. So now
what do you know about the problem that says Now he was not someone
who is out for money? What do you think?
Now you use what you know about the prophets are Salam and say,
and by the way, as you're doing this exercise, sometimes they get
so like, as you're telling them about the price element, his
teachings they get so taken that they forget that you have to
remind them Okay, are you convinced that it was not imposter
who did it for money? And they say yes, then you cross off money,
move to the next one. So I'll give you some let me start you off. For
example, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam look at his his room or the
what they call the apartment of Ayesha, like six feet by six feet.
There is no wealth in it just walls made of palm stalks and mud
ceiling that has you know, palm leaves and some leather skin to
stop the rain from coming in one blanket, a pillow stuffed with
palm fiber, one broken pot type. Does that look like someone who
risked his life for money? How about something more ridiculous?
How is the wealth of the process and before or when before Jabril
came to him?
With Khadija he was wealthy, right? So he was wealthy already.
And you're telling me he risked his life for money. And then when
he becomes a prophet, he is poor and has no money. And the level
the life is so simple to the point that it caused tension between him
and his wives because they wanted an increase in their stipend. So
he did this whole thing for money. He was already rich, and then he
becomes poor five, the person might say, well, maybe his plan
was to become even richer. But it didn't work out. He became broke.
Yeah, but don't forget when he died, he left SallAllahu Sallam
100,000 companions, each one of them would give their life for
him. Not just money. So why didn't he take the money then?
So and then the ahaadeeth, confit dunya and recovery when our
Iberostar we live in this world as if you're a traveler or a
Wayfarer, all these Hadith does that show someone who wanted money
and wealth that he would get 50,000 Goats and sheep and and
camels and he would distribute all of it and go home with nothing. He
would put 50 70,000 Durham's in front of them and he would
distribute it to the poor and go home to his poor family with
nothing that I should allow. And I said, for two months that would
not be a fire lit in the house of the prophets Allah or organiser
were astir
or observers said, How did you survive? She said, dates and
water. Thank you. Dates and water. Two months, dates and water. Do it
for two weeks, you start biting people in the masjid. Santa's like
Brother, how you doing?
We love meat. So does that look like someone who risked his life
for money? Doesn't sound like you're right. So it's fair to
cross out money. We cross it out. Next one. This guy thought he was
smart. It's like he was an alien. Did you ever think of that? All
right. So look at let's look at the possibility of him being an
alien number one. Okay, you refer to Tom was easy.
Let's prove he wasn't an alien.
Hmm
Yes, we know his father. And we know the name of his father. We
know all his uncle's we know his his aunts and his grandpa, his
grandfather. We know which tribe he came from. We know his mother.
And we know everything about winning who's foster mother
everything. There was never a narration about one day there was
a light that came a green light killer. That something fell out of
his sky. Then they ran to that area. They found a pod with a
little baby inside and then they adopted him pipe. There is nothing
that indicates that he was an alien. Plus, you've never met an
alien. What are the chances we can cross it out? See they weren't
crazy they are the easier it is to refute by if somebody tells you a
number
Three, he wanted women
that's why he created a false religion to get more women. And
the proof is that he had up to nine wives at one point.
How do you refute that?
Nom Okay, so you refute it by breaking down the marriages of the
Prophet sallallahu sallam, of all the women that he married only one
was a virgin that was never been married before and that is, that
was it should have been Lohana by first marriage was to Khadija been
toilet and she was twice widowed. And she had children. So first of
all, that doesn't match the style of a womanizer. They don't go for
women with children. They don't go for widows. That already is off.
All right. And then he stayed with her alone and with her as his only
wife for how long?
For a good while, yes, until she died for years until she died. The
only problem for me we are which is how many years?
Something like that something like 25 years, right? Okay, so
doesn't sit well. Second marriage was two. So the Ventosa Ma, who
was an older lady narrations, some narrations put her at 50 and they
go as then they go to 55 and the highest nourishing is 65. But if
you calculate her age at the time of death, 65 was way too high. But
if she was anywhere from 50 to 55 on the profits or loss Ella
married her. She was also she used to be married to a scrawny bamboo.
And she was widowed. And she was known by historians to be the only
one that was not celebrated for her beauty and the porcelain took
her into his home. Does that sound like the the action of a womanizer
type number three, we've got Aisha de la Anna, they will have Hafsa
the daughter of Omar and and will you look at the the Okay, those
two, they are the daughters of his best friends. So now they also
bring that relationship closer and they happen to be the first to
qualify after him. We have the marriage of the porcelain to joy
reinvented her. Sophia Winterhaven Top Ramen I've interviewed Sophia
and OMA Habiba and and my mood I've been told Harith all these
four marriages, you can easily see the dow a point in the Dow benefit
when the Russell a major area, the Muslims had just captured her
whole tribe that morning. And they felt guilty like we have the in
laws of the problem as our captors and the process of marriage Joy
area, and I have her uncle as my prisoner felt bad, let them go.
They let them all go. And this has never been done by the Arabs where
you capture a group you just let them go for free, no ransom
nothing in return. So they became Muslim. And I showed the alarm
used to say I have never seen a woman who's more a blessing to her
people than jewelry. It was to her people because they all became
Muslim type. You see the double benefit that
I'm not going to break each one down Yanni, then there were some
religious benefits the Xena bent to Jash there was a religious
benefit in that marriage, Zanna. ventajas aim at the problem only
married married her for two months before she passed on. And then we
have so basically
only one of them being a virgin. Most of them. Are They're widowed
or with children. Does that match the the action of a womanizer,
someone who's going to risk his life for women? But wait a minute,
it gets worse. You're in a pre Islamic Arabia? What do you need
to create a religion to get women for?
It was easy. There was no limit even you know, there was one of
the Janelia there was one of one of the Arabs his name was volume.
And he had like something like 100 wives or something like that. And
he had the whole village was his children. So if he ever got mad or
wanted to go to war, he'd just come out and yell Yeah, opener or
warn him. Oh, children of God him the whole village comes down. Yes,
Baba. Yes.
So what you have to create a religion and write a book 600
pages long. To get women you're in Arabia. That's like someone in
America comes and says, Hey, man,
I know you're like here at the dollar table. You know, because
you're trying to meet girls on to this sort of growth, like, first
of all, how dare you a walk? Talk to me like that, which is exactly
how to live in an era the narration spoke to the Prophet 11
said if it's women you want we've married we would wear marry off to
the most beautiful woman and if it's worth you want will make you
the wealthiest one. And if it's leadership, so what NACA Elena
will make you our leader, and the problem is just waiting patiently.
And when he's done is like a photo of your eyeball. Waleed, you're
done. Now, listen to me. Now would not even be that patient. Someone
tells me like I'm at $1 table.
Look, I know you're just trying to get to meet some girls but I'll
jump over the table to make no no let's just meet girls. How dare
you? And he's saying that to the prophets a lot. Like, I don't need
to create a religion to meet girls. They have something called
Tinder, swipe right swipe left you meet somebody moms
young guys are not laughing. I don't know what's going on.
And well him. You don't create a religion to meet women in Jaya
Helia here's another point by the way. Okay, the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam and salt Allah has up.
After his last marriage, Allah azza wa jal told him nah, look at
Nyssa Omen bout Jani, you cannot get married again, or even replace
a wife. If a wife dies, you can't replace her. You can never get
married anymore. But we can get married. More Jani. You telling me
he risked his life for women. And then he put a verse in the book
that he wrote saying no more women. You can't marry any more.
One guy, one guy, let me ally people leave Islam for the dumbest
reasons I met this guy in Canada. He left Islam one of the reasons
he said, How can we can marry four, but he had up to nine wives.
I said, first of all, we're not on the same level. You've never been
on the highway. And you've seen that opening between the both
highways and it says authorized vehicles only. Now if you see a
cop make a U turn there, you're going to try to pull him over? Or
do you understand that because he is a police officer he is at a
higher level than you he can do things you can't do. You're not
familiar with this concept. Plus the verse and sort of the law as
I've said, You can't marry any more or even replace a wife. So
nine is your limit. But you can get married 25 times true or
false.
You don't know how I'll show you. You married for at one time. Okay?
Then you keep your favorite one, get rid of the other three. Next
month, get another three. Then keep one of them married to next
month in exchange all four. I know it sounds derogatory, right? But
I'm just for the sake of money. I still haven't I've been a kid.
That's how it works. You know, Al Hassan, the son of I've never
thought it would be Lord hasn't married, they said up to like 60
times or something.
And his father, I didn't know we told him used to tell people do
not give your daughters to him. Don't marry your daughters to him.
Because he's going to divorce them and move on quickly.
Why would they keep giving their daughters 10.
Come on, now, you give your daughter to a husband, she becomes
pregnant, you got a grandson of the Prophet SAW Selim who is the
winner.
Of course, that's why the point is that you can get married 50 times.
We don't recommend it. And you will get caught. But
you understand. So could it be that he risked his life created a
religion for the sake of woman when you could get women? Does it
make sense? Then when we analyze his marriages, they don't look
like the actions of a womanizer. Then he stopped at nine. Then he
said you can't get any more. Doesn't make any sense. So women's
out made sense.
You agree? Feel free to counter if you want.
But he did it because he wanted fame, status power. Now, you know
the Prophet sallallahu sallam, you know his Syrah his biography. And
you know that's not there in his biography. Remember the story of
when a man came to him came to meet the Prophet sallallahu
sallam, and he was scared because he's meeting their leader. He
doesn't know him. So he was so scared when the process and I
found him to be scared. He tells him Yeah, Roger, when I like He's
like, he's telling him Take it easy. He said in Nima. He says not
less to be Melaka and I'll come I thought. He said I'm not a king.
He said in nama numeral 18 Can a cool little caddied the Maccha he
said, I'm just the son of a woman who used to eat codeine in Mecca.
codeine is very low quality meat. He's saying my mother used to be
so poor she used to eat Khadija and maca. I'm not a king. Calm
down. Don't be scared. Does that look like the action of someone
who wanted to be feared or wanted power craved power, fame status.
How many times is the name Muhammad mentioned in the Quran?
Huh? Four and a half.
What's the half more?
For anyone say five? You're both correct. The name Muhammad occurs
four times in the Quran. The fifth one is a Hamid Okay, by him. How
many times is the name Musa mentioned in the Quran?
And Ha, you sure 136 Right. How many times the name though had
mentioned the Quran 16
Sulayman 17 A you 25 Isa 25, something like that Ibrahim 69
times. So wait a minute, you're telling me someone is risking his
life in Arabia for the sake of fame to be remembered for the sake
of power and status. And then when he writes a book 600 pages long he
will mention him so four times by name and mentioned Musa al Salaam
136 times. Does that make any sense? It doesn't make any sense.
And you don't see anything in his life. Okay, I love this narration.
A Bedouin man. He came number Bedouin from the nomads, Yanni, he
came to Medina. He doesn't know the prophets, Allah says they
don't have cameras, he doesn't know what he looks like. So he
walks into an Masjid Nabawi. He says there were a group of people
sitting in a circle like this. So he walked up to them. And look at
the beginning he said, ayoko Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, which
one of you is Mohammed? Have you heard of anyone in human history
who walked into the king's court and said which one is the king?
It's clear, the architecture of the room tells you who is the
king. The clothing tells you who's the King, the guy with the largest
scepter the longest robe, the biggest crowd, that's the king.
You'll never even can confuse the prince for the king. Because the
king has the bigger thing on his head. So this the architecture of
the room, the clothing the way they sit higher and above everyone
else, and separate from everyone else tells you who's the boss, but
this man, a Bedouin man walked in a small group of people on the
ground like this. And he couldn't tell which means the problem sat
like everyone else dressed like everyone else, and didn't have
anything that made him stand out. So he said, uh, you can Mohammed
and the porcelain pointed to himself. Then he went to him and
addressed him about whatever he wanted. Were in his life. Does it
seem like he was just someone an imposter who is out for fame,
status and power? You don't see it right? Now keep talking until the
other person is convinced. Yeah, I'm pretty convinced he didn't do
this for fame or for power. And if he says I'm not convinced him
okay, why would he mentioned his name four times and moves 136
telling me and he's an imposter. So an imposter doesn't care about
moussaka. Sam doesn't care about anybody. He's doing it for fame.
And yet he doesn't.
So you once they agree, cross it out. Next one.
He did it because he wanted leadership. What are the
reputations there?
That narration of a widow heroes powerful when he comes in, he
says, Look, this was early on this is in Mecca. He says look, if it's
a woman you want will marry to the most beautiful if it's leadership
you want so what NACA Elena, and he an imposter would say, yeah,
hey, Jazak Allahu Allah. He says me writing inventions who? Move?
Honey, you just saved me so much time. Y'all are making me rich
will give me the leadership has saved me so much time.
But he didn't take that offer some loss. That's not what he wanted.
So you can cross it out. All right. This Jewish guy told me he
thought he was so smart. He said, maybe he was a madman or he's an
who's an epileptic. When he had a seizure, he heard voices. And then
when he came to, he said, Well, this is what God said to me. And I
said, Look, how many epileptics and schizophrenics and whatnot and
you fill in the blank with whatever you want Mad Men.
Bipolar, filled with whatever you want. How many have lived and died
since the time of Adam I saw them until today. He said 1000s I said
which one of them had a seizure and came up with an entire system
of government government and marriage and divorce and how to
raise children and criminal law and tax law and yeah, how is one
has that ever happened? So he was like this. The one he's not gonna
admit your whole deal. But
the point is that he's just like that.
Big because if mad men knew Yanni had create something like Islam,
Allah would all be at the nuthouse with with our pen and paper. Like
what do you see now Mr. pago? laga give me some help the Forex the
world economy. What do you see? The guys like I see guinea pigs
boiled eggs. When's the last time crazy people solved anything world
problem? It's like this joke. These three people in a in the
nuthouse basically. What's the what's the politically correct
term for that? They said they actually the three of us. We're
not crazy. Everyone else should be here, but we're not crazy. We need
to leave. So they want to the guy in charge. They said listen, you
need to let the three of us go right now, because we're not
crazy. He said I'll ask you one question.
The answer right you can go home. He said, What's five times six?
The first guy said 850. He said, sit down. Next one, what's five
times six? He said five times six is Friday.
He said, sit down. Next guy. He said, What's five times six? He
said 30 He said, Bismillah How did you know? He said this easy. I
divided 850 By Friday and I got 30
Once the last time, a madman came up with something as beautiful and
as complete as a slap that covered everything never happened. So we
can cross out madman, schizophrenic, epileptic, all
that. All right? Type he is someone who just wanted to affect
social change type, we still have some problems there. Maybe we'll
come back to that. Someone says he just loved war and chaos. He just
didn't like that. You know, everything was okay. Want to
create a new religion create some problems. There are many problems
with anyone.
What's wrong with he created this whole religion and risked his life
for war?
Hmm.
You don't have to create a religion for war. You just get a
gang of guys or holla start war. You're telling me he risked his
life to create a religion for the sake of war. And in the greeting
of the followers of this religion is
a Solomonic Olic makes no sense. Peace beyond to you for the
religion of war. Why? Okay, and why were you not allowed to fight
in the beginning and then we were only allowed to defend yourself
then you were allowed to be the aggressor. Why not from the
beginning then if he created all his religion for war, and then you
look at look at Islam, look at the rules of Mahara the different
kinds of water who sure where to put your hands in Salah. Okay,
where to look in Salah. How many prayers, night prayer, fasting,
the things that invalidate the fast the things that invalidate
your will do? Why does he make up all this stuff? The percentage for
years occa and how to perform hygiene, Omron where to go in the
monastic all this Why is he making all that up? If he created this
whole religion for the sake of war, and this whole religion was
created for war? Why isn't every other passage saying go fight? Why
is it why weren't they just training for battle the whole time
and honing their skills and sword fighting and increasing that? And
does it make sense that he risked his life for war?
No.
Okay.
Selfishness create social change who was coerced or manipulated by
someone else? That could be a clever individual or individuals,
or it could be
a devil. Right? But so what would be the answer to that?
What would be the answer to that? Is that possible?
Who's speaking and what?
What him?
Was Okay, so you're saying that the other person has a lot of
questions to answer anyways, like, first of all, why did they pick
him? What were his qualities that they chose him? Fine. He says, I
don't know. Like, what's your next question? i Oh, my luck.
For the devil argument. Excellent. Good job.
Yeah. So if you're saying a devil came and brought him Islam, like
they had paganism, they were worshipping through it and 60
Idols around the Kaaba, the devil will be like, no, no, no, no,
don't touch that. That's good. Just leave it if it ain't broke,
don't fix it. Why would the devil say, come and bring tow he then
and curse me in your book, also, the kalam and given charity and
speak against idol worship that makes no sense by clever
individuals? To answer that one, and the social change, and the
selfishness and all that, we have to move on to the next segment. So
we saw that no clear motive stands out. Why would this man do all
that? Why would he risk his life you can't come up with a motive
and I asked you to be as not you. You tell him the guy or the girl.
I asked you to be as creative as possible when we were compiling
the motives. And now we looked at each one of them and it doesn't
hold water. The teaching is the problem go against this the the
life the practice of goes against the Quran goes against the Quran
doesn't say give your woman to the Prophet. He doesn't say give your
money to the Prophet. It doesn't support the idea that he did it
for fame and status and
Power. There's just you've got nothing. So then we go to other
things, other reasons why the prophets of Allah Salam
could not have been an imposter. He had to have been a genuine
prophet. If you're still claiming he had, he must have been an
imposter. You have to give me a plausible explanation. Specially
when we get to this next chapter, when we're talking about the
Quran. Are we doing our thing?
Gar? Is it going to be easy or hard?
Is it gonna be easy this video or is it gonna be hard?
I was gonna do it right now.
Okay, maybe not right now. Maybe after maybe after the event, which
is in how long?
Five, six minutes. Okay, Jimmy, by so here's the issue. We have the
Quran. And the first thing about the Quran. And I used to always
ask this to non Muslims, I would say if I give you 10 essays right
now. And I told you nine of them are written by second graders,
children in second grade. And one of them is by Shakespeare. How
long would it take you to determine which one is say
Shakespeare?
Many seconds right? Or are you going to narrow it down to two,
not sure which one, I've got this one about me and mommy playing in
the park. And this one off hello or whatever.
By so
even more so that even more so more than how Shakespeare was
discernible from from my second graders writing. It should be even
more easier to distinguish between Allah's writing and that of a con
man, or con men are devils. There's no way you're telling me
if the devil writes a book is going to be very similar to God's
book.
And what's the value of God then, if his book is not superior, in
every other way, in every possible way? So the Quran, we've got some
questions, it was a book that was revealed over a period of 23
years, right.
A couple of questions. Number one,
how we're not even getting to the miracles and the science and all
that. The first thing is, how is it? If can how can someone write a
book over a period of 23 years and keep it consistent? Pick any of
our youth from the audience start writing a book today. Finish it
and 23 years from now, you cannot rewrite chapters, the book is
going to be the same at the beginning of the book is going to
be Fortnite Musharraf Eshoo. Then as you get older, you have
children, the vocabulary improves, your wisdom increases. The end of
the book is going to be okay. This is a good book. The beginning is
just going to be what's that new thing? That new game? Sounds
funny.
It's a new game. Hmm.
Now Roblox is new. Malik is getting old. They think hands on
what's his name? Based on? Who Brawl stars I will. The beginning
of the book is Brawl stars. Ronaldo, Messi, Musharraf ban, the
end of the book will be more serious, right? But so the first
question is, how does the problem write a book over a period of 23
years and keeps the style consistent? And the vocabulary and
grammar doesn't really change? Yes, there is a slight difference
in style between Mecca and Medina. But what does it sound like some
different person? That's the first thing. The second thing is how was
he able to keep his emotions out of the book? If you read the Quran
cover the cover? Can you notice that? Okay, now it's a little
cheerful. I bet you this is where Zeynep got married rather low on
her. Or now the writing seems very sad. This is probably after a
while after the defeated or maybe the year of sorrow or the death of
Khadija Can you as you read the Quran, see that? Oh, here it's
cheerful hear it's sad. Like some human wrote it, and they injected
their emotions in it. No, you don't notice that. Okay, type so
he kept his emotions out of it kept the grammar and everything
else consistent. What other issues are there? If a man wrote the
Quran
we've got the science. How did he know all this stuff?
Prediction predictions of the future.
What else do we have? We're going to discuss them.
History. Very good. Very good. One history. How do you know all that
history? Staying in Arabia?
Ah
no mistakes. How is that possible? Well, I'm talking grammatical and
scientific no mistakes. How is that possible?
Okay, so we're looking at just from style and structure. It's
impossible for a man to write a book like the Quran over a period
of 23 years and keep it the same the entire time. All right.
And then he would have to know, sciences. And if you've you know,
you're all familiar with some of the science that's mentioned in
the Quran, and I say, some of the science and don't put too much
weight on science in the Quran, because one of the mistakes dot
make is they try to present the Quran like it's a science book.
It's not a science book, it has some science in it. But it's not a
book of science. And I'll tell you a story after they're done Shala
related to that truck for them to
buy, so that that makes sense. Yeah. And
the reason I played that video was just it's concise. And in all the
arguments that I would have spent time on, it explains it. That's
the problem with the,
with the accusation, or with the idea that the Prophet sallallahu
sallam was not a genuine Prophet, that he just wrote this Quran in
Arabia. And Arabia is not like, the lucky no, the ancient Greeks
that they had translations and books and libraries, they were not
a studious group of people. So in Arabia, he would have to know all
these things and write this book, and create this religion that has
all these laws and all these rights, and all of the sciences
and everything in it. Oh, I remember I was gonna tell you the
story about
when you misrepresent the Quran, as if and make it look like it's a
science book. And in like the 70s, and 80s, two out, all they talked
about was science and the Quran. And he thought that that was the
strongest thing. It's not it's just one of the things. It's just
one of the things, but it's not. It's not even the selling point
that there's science in the Quran. And it took two decades to get
over that. This guy said,
this lawyer, this lady came to my office straight from work. She was
like, you know, in that business suit and everything. And she sat
down and she said, Why should I become Muslim? He said, You know,
the Quran talks about embryology and plate tectonics. He said,
Wait, so I'm not going to become Muslim? Because the Quran
mentioned some science. What will Islam do for me? What will happen?
How will I change? How will I improve? That's what people are
looking for. So to use science, as one of the things to prove the
veracity of the Quran makes sense. But to try to sell the science in
the Quran. That's why you should become Muslim. Don't ever do that.
Don't ever do that. So one time, we're at $1 table, Islam Awareness
Week, this was in Canada, and a non Muslim came up to me. And he
put his hand on the translation of the Quran. He said, How old does
this book say the earth is? And how old is the earth according to
this book, and I know what's going on with him. He basically wants to
make sure that this is not another religion that says the earth is
6000 years old, which some Christians calculating backwards
from the Bible. They said, The earth is 6000 years old. So he's
saying, if you're gonna tell me, it's 6000 years old, while we have
evidence that it millions, it's millions of years old. I'm not
listening to you. So this was my answer. I said,
Look, first and foremost, this is a book of guidance. It might have
some science in it, but it's not a book of science. There might be
some history in it, but it's not a history book. It has everything in
it that will help you make it to Paradise, and everything in it
that will help you avoid falling into the hellfire. And so when it
comes to the age of the Earth, the Quran is silent about it, because
you're not going to be asked on a day of judgment, how old was the
earth? And you got it wrong, Allah go this word. So he was very
happy, and he now wants to wants to listen, and he stayed and we
talked. But the point is that the mistake is to make the Quran seem
like it's a history book, when you read the Quran, or what percent?
Not even 1% mention of things here and there. Like in in Torah, where
do you feel like you're just reading through a biography, a
biology book or something? Or a science book, we don't very little
in
anyways, but just like the style in the video, we're saying, How
can a man write a book like the Quran over a period of 23 years?
How can he know all the things that he knew in Arabia with no
other books? How did he know all the history? How did he know all
these things? There are some things in the Quran and that about
history that you can find on Google and I'll tell you the
story. One of our Messiah, he said, because how in the Quran
Allah Allah says, Wakata Talia who do Jose arugula. The Jews said
Hosea is the son of Allah, Ezra. So he said a Jewish rabbi came to
me and he said your Quran is incorrect. Because the Quran says
the Jews say Ezra is the Son of God, but the Jews never said that.
He said, I challenged him to go and to investigate that. And I
told you right now, if you google it right now, if you Google, did
the Jews ever say Ezra was the Son of God? You're just going
To find a ton of anti Islamic sites, oh, the Quran is wrong. And
Muhammad didn't know what he was talking about stuff for Allah,
because they just entered. But he said this Rabbi, I met him a while
later, he said, You know what I went into their own archives, you
know, everything is in Hebrew, some old stuff you're not going to
find on Google, he said, and I found that there used to be an
ancient Jewish tribe that used to say, is the son of Allah.
So now, you're telling me that the Solomon Arabian knew this and knew
about this Jewish tribe that doesn't exist anymore, knew all
these things, and knew about the stories of the prophets. If you
remember that book, the Bible, the Quran and science written by the
French scientist, Dr. Maurice bouquet, and he basically wrote
this.
When he was non Muslim, he started to write the book. And what I like
about the book is the introduction in the introduction, he says, I
also I'm not quoting it, but he said, I also examined the the
notion that Mohamed Salah Salem copied from the Bible, he says, I
found it impossible that someone would copy from a source and then
write material that is better than the source. Yeah, you understand?
Any? Imagine I give you a book about a topic that you've never
heard before? So this is your first introduction to the topic.
And I tell you now you write a book on the same topic, you're
going to rely on that book. This is that was your introduction to
the topic? How are you going to present a book better than the one
I gave you that you that you learned from? That's what he's
saying basically.
Okay, so knowledge of the future what where's the knowledge of the
future in the Quran? When I give you guys a chance to talk
sorta room whatever to Rome, right? That when the Persians had
a battle against the the Romans, Allah was we had said that the
Romans were defeated and in an odd number of years, they're gonna
defeat the Persians basically. And it happened exactly like that. By
what else knowledge of the Yeah, and how the problem know that.
The story of
of useless knowledge of the future case.
Okay, good job, but I'm looking for things that that would say
Muhammad Rasul, Allah knew the future that's why he put it in the
Quran that he wrote
for Makkah, the conquering of Mecca. And that was mentioned
after the Treaty of Davia I mean if that's not indicative of the
existence of Allah as of what is in the after the Treaty of MC of
Davia which seems to be so oppressive to the Muslims the
versus showing the dual conquer Mecca come down why human being
rice like that.
What else do we have knowledge of the future
Hmm
Yes, those are from the Hadith now so we're that's another but from
the Quran, maybe one of the last ones. Stuart Abdullah Al Asad
Berta Avila have been with up Allah has real anyhow with the
process of know that Ebola is going to die a capture
and and this surah is a Meccan surah and he dies after the
hedger. But there is no Surah that said, I was a Fianna who end up in
the hellfire, and he becomes Muslim on the eve of the
conquering of Mecca. You understand and its knowledge of
the future. All right. But then when you go to that hadith, there
are just too many. If you look at the signs before the Day of
Judgment, they happened exactly as the prophets of Allah Salam
described them. And that's just another area by itself. Like how
do you explain that he knew all these things.
Beautiful point, everyone, any people always say that, like Abu
Lahab could have just proven him wrong by taking the Shahada.
Right? Right now there's a false prophet and he says, Oh, this guy
will never believe that. Oh, yeah. I believe humans Amani don't know,
just for Sheila Hello.
All right, good. Bye, knowledge of the future knowledge of history,
all the different areas, we just listed some of them the different
types of law, the different things and raising children and divorce
and marriage in all this. And also what's the point? If your motive
is money, writing about all these other laws, or if your your point
and your motive was women? Are you talking about Bahara? And for
sure, and Salah and all these other details of the religion and
and we're not once does the book contradict itself? Not once does
it offer a solution? That's a failure, that doesn't work?
You know? So then we've got another field. So what was the
first one was analyzing the motives and then weighing them
against the life and the teachings of the Prophet sallallahu sallam.
The second one was looking at the Quran, its style, its structure,
all the amount of knowledge in it. How is a man in Arabia able to
write something like that? And and then also another point about the
Quran? Why does
didn't reflect the motives is not a strong point. You telling me he
risked his life for money? Why didn't he mentioned in his book
600 pages long, make sense. So now we get we got a third category.
These are other things that would make it impossible for the
prostate limp to have written the Quran, from knowledge to
opportunities that are things that he could have taken advantage of.
I love the story of one, the infant son of the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam died, this is one and Ibrahim would
sun or the solar he when the day he died as they were bearing him
what happened.
There was an eclipse of the sun. At the moment they're putting him
in like this, the sun goes dark by and then they said look, the sun
is saddened at the death of the son of the prophets of Allah
salah. And what does he say? He says, he says Don't say that. He
said the Sun and the Moon they're not saddened nor happy at the
death or life of anybody.
And and they're the signs of Isaiah and either Ayat of Allah
azza wa jal and so on. Now, how would an imposter react to that?
Hmm take advantage of that young gentleman a summer huh? It's
beautiful. You're they're burying your child and then the sun goes
dark. I will take advantage of that meal kit Avila que si even
the Son is sad and on this day, give me money Sora give money Give
me money.
Take advantage of it.
How about when the problem came back from a thought if I love when
the problem came back from a thought if and he got an ID to
offer him protection so I'm not I'm had his sons and his tribesmen
put on full armor and full weaponry and they marched across
him to the Kaaba and everybody's watching. Everyone knows he came
back from a five he stayed there for 10 days and they hurt him and
they kicked him out. So everyone's watching to see what he will do
and what is possible him do. He prays to rocket at the cap. First
thing he does before talking to anyone he's saying I'm still a
messenger of Allah. I'm still calling to this religion. Now I
always tell people if the porcelain were not a genuine
Prophet, this is exactly when he would quit true. Comes right from
the tires is like Hello. Listen you guys fees no more of this
though. Hate for the hobo, y'all.
Boy, or Aloha, but you know what that means? Muscular
type, what else? What other things? What other issues let's
say it was impossible for the Prophet salallahu salam to have
made up Islam. So we've got knowledge of the future.
All the signs before the hour that happened exactly as apostle him
said. Amara was mentioning how he said the bit the naked barefoot
shepherds will the compete will compete in the construction of
tall buildings. And you're seeing it happen now. So many other
things. Is there anything else?
Hmm. Which is Which story of Aisha?
Uh huh.
Woof. You know, something Jackalope was like for a month
there was no revelation. Remember when they made the accusation
against Aisha, it was a tense situation for the prophets and for
Aisha for her parents. And for Sephora and mattala. Silla Mia
also because he was accused. And then this is she says in the
narration that the revelation was delayed for a month. And then for
a month, people are saying what they're saying, and no one is
showing the innocence of Aisha if he was not a genuine prophet. What
would he do?
Oh, Allah, two minutes. Two minutes. Now I'm just sitting
there. Oh, did you hear someone said this? Look, wait a minute,
something is coming to me. Oh, my Lord says she's innocent. Now go
get me some money.
All right. Paula, every step of the way in the life of the prophet
Salam indicates that he was a genuine Prophet, every step of the
way, type. The last thing is what I mentioned earlier, you could
also do the skills just like we listed in that video, How would he
know all these things and know them? centuries ahead of his time.
And I wouldn't dwell too much on the embryology and whatever. But
you can show some examples. You know, when the Prophet Allah
mentioned these things, how would he know? And how does he come up
with a system that works so well? For everything, the laws, all that
stuff? So he would have to be one person that was super skilled,
hundreds of years ahead of his time, and yet, not like what's his
name? Yeah. And within Thomas Edison, for example, he has over
200 inventions, but more or less, they're all in the field of
electricity and physics in that
On the field, then you have the Vinci who kind of dabbled in
physics dabbled in, in biology. But what have we ever seen in
human history? One man who had like 30 to 36 skills way, I mean
centuries ahead of his time. How is that possible? How did he gain
that knowledge? You telling me he was an imposter, I'm asking you to
give me a plausible explanation how he could possibly know all
this stuff. Go ahead. Give me any good explanation that makes half
sense.
And that's why when we're done with this exercise, I'm telling
you, the person gets up completely believing that the process is a
genuine profit, that there is a God if there were atheists in
before, and they will either take their shahada or they will get up
knowing that Islam is the truth. I just can't take my Shahada right
now, for whatever reason.
For all I'm telling you is just try it. Just try the technique.
Just sit down with someone and just go through it. So look, give
me an explanation and be as creative as you want. And you
don't have to agree with me, you can be a jerk.
Just, you know, be the devil's advocate for lack of a better
term.
Anyways, any questions? We'll end here.
Now, does everyone understand how it works? Does anyone here have
someone that in their mind that they can try this with? Relative
neighbor, co worker or classmate? Anybody?
Ah, okay, three people, 456, maybe.
Let's say no one here has neighbors or anything.
co workers. By the way, name. When I came up with this technique,
this was a long time ago, I was in my early 20s. And I started using
it on people left and right. And then I said, I want to make sure
I'm not introducing anything crazy to the OMA. So I drove to New
York, this is long, just one Virginia and I drove to New York
City. And I met up with the Shaolin Sunni, who had a class
there. So I want to show this little thing I have here. And when
Shaolin saw it, he had a half smile the whole time. Okay, so he
was like this the whole time.
And generally, if he likes something, and you're saying
something, he does a half smile, and he keeps it. And when he
doesn't like what you're saying, he's just like this. So that's why
sometimes if he doesn't smile at all, I just stop what I'm saying
like, okay, fine, I gotta go.
So I noticed you had to have smiled the whole time. And then he
said, I love it. It's great. It's excellent, whatever he said, and
then, you know, I finished the class with him. Then I found out
like eight years later, I found out that the day I showed him the
technique, two weeks later, he used it and got a shahada
so just I'm trying to tell you just try it. Try what if you try
it and you don't get a shahadah
come to me asking for a refund right now just try it with someone
else. Like a you written cheated us you. You can't this doesn't
work. I tried it Try again. Try again.
Alright, but it leaves no way out for the person. Anyways, I'd like
to thank you for listening attentively. So Allahumma barik,
ala Muhammad Allah He was a big mind was salam ala Kuma to Allah
