Tikka tabula rasa, and how do you how do you Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam are short on
		

			memoriam to her Wakulla desert in beta. We're collaborating balada Wakulla Dalton for now.
		

			Brothers and Sisters in Islam today are hooked by is titled, proofs of prophethood. And we've had
requests from some of the Muslim lien who asked for not just a hook book about the hour, but a hook
book on how to give Dawa or how to explain a certain aspect of Islam to a non Muslim. And today I
want to share the steps to one of the most powerful Dawa techniques that I'm personally familiar
with. And, and that is proving the veracity, or the prophethood of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wasallam. And from there, you can move on to other areas meaning proving the existence of Allah
subhanaw taala. It was about 20 years ago, at the University in biology class, and a young Muslim
		

			came up to me and he said, I would like to get married to someone, but they're an atheist, can you
prove to them that Allah exists? So we prove the existence of Allah subhanaw taala just by analyzing
the life and the teachings of Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, because if he's not a genuine Prophet,
where did he get all this material from? How can there be no God, and we have a man like Muhammad
was a lamb, and with these teachings, so if he's a genuine Prophet, that means there is a God and
that's why the two are linked like that. So it's a very powerful technique to use with an atheist.
You can use it with a Christian and you can use it with a Muslim who has doubts. And that happened
		

			not so long ago, a Muslim came and they had doubts is Islam. The truth was Muhammad Salah Salama,
genuine Prophet, is the Quran actually from Allah azza wa jal and we use the same technique and they
have the lower able to come back to their Deen.
		

			So we want this
		

			Start by in this quote by just describing this process, and then you can repeat it with your co
worker, you can repeat it with a classmate, you can repeat it with your neighbors or friends, family
members, and so on and so forth. And you want to do a number of things. First, you want to get them
in a very analytical state of mind. So you can begin by asking them because you want them to start
thinking in that way, if someone walked up to you right now, and claimed to be a prophet of Allah,
how long would it take you just through questions and answers to, to either to decide that they're,
if they're telling the truth? Or if they're telling a lie? Annie? What kind of questions would you
		

			ask someone that claimed to be a prophet of Allah? Someone came to you right now. So I'm a prophet
of Allah, what would you ask them? So you would ask them basic questions? What's the name of the
angel that came to you? If they didn't say to you, but I mean, that's a strike. What is the number
one message and if they didn't mention to hate of Allah azza wa jal, as every prophet did, that's
another strike, and so on, and so forth. If they say, or teach anything contrary to what all the
prophets have mentioned, about, about the ark, or about paradise in the hellfire, anything basic
like that changes, and you immediately can conclude they're not a genuine profit. So what you're
		

			looking for here is what is what we'll refer to as the mold of the prophets. There's a certain
pattern and style for all the prophets of Allah. And if someone goes against that, they were
approached by an angel other than Gibreel, or their story and is different than that of the other
prophets. And then they don't fit the mold of a prophet. An example we can use is the Mormon as he
calls himself the Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith, who was like the founder of Mormonism. So he was
like a 14 year old boy in upstate New York when he goes into the forest. And he meets according to
him, God, the Father and the Son in front of him, and they speak to him. Like, no, no prophet met
		

			God like this in the jungle, ever. None of them were 14 year old when they met and spoke to God. And
no prophet ever met and spoke to what they call God the Son, which means one of two things.
		

			Every Prophet forgot to mention meeting God the Son, or to God, the Son never existed less we didn't
hear about God, the sun with Ibrahim Ali Salam, with no Haile Salam, and so on and so forth. That's
another dour point. So if they don't fit the mold of a prophet, then they're already starting to be
disqualified. Then we get to the nature of Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, we have two options with no
third, either he was a genuine Prophet, or he was an imposter. These are the only two options even
if you say, perhaps he was someone who meant well, and he wanted to affect change in the community,
it still means he was not genuinely sent by God. So either he was sent by God, and he was a true
		

			prophets and everything he spoke was the truth, or he was an imposter, who pretended and faked his
way, and made everything up along the way. So now you've got these two categories, genuine, and
imposter, then, and in doing in this part of the exercise, you're also getting to know how much the
person you're giving Dawa, to how much they know about the profits. So and that way, you will be
able to figure out how much you have to hold their hand throughout the process and the exercise. So
then you ask them list, what would be the signs of a genuine profit, and make a list of them. And
what would be the signs of an imposter Jani, they might say, for example, that an imposter might be
		

			lazy, you might have some bad characteristics, like you'd be a coward. And that would not be
befitting of a genuine Prophet, to be a coward or to be lazy, or to come from bad lineage or to not
even know his lineage,
		

			or to have any other manners that were bad. But the imposter might have good manners, but he also
might have a history of bad manners and then suddenly, overnight, he starts to become a well
mannered person, the genuine Prophet would practice what he would preach the imposter most likely
would not practice what he would preach. A genuine Prophet would offer solutions that actually work
for social problems, what have you, and imposter most likely will offer solutions that don't work?
He will, he'll probably teach things that are, you know, factually scientifically inaccurate, and so
on and so forth. So you make your list like that. And at this point, what we're gathering also is,
		

			what are the odds that a man pretended to be a prophet in Arabia 1400 years ago, and he happened to
have good lineage and good manners and is known for his truthfulness? And on top of that, after all,
that he's gonna fake or pretend to be a prophet of Allah, what are the odds? So then after this, you
give a brief description of Arabia, and what they need to understand
		

			is how Arabia was not under one king or one emperor, but it was different tribes and these tribes a
lot of times would compete with each other. And other times they would go to war with each other for
a war would continue for decades or a decade at least. So now in Arabia being where Mecca is, and
where people come from pilgrimage from around the peninsula, they're going to bring with them
merchandise and wealth. So this is now also part of or related to their source of commerce and their
income. And now someone's going to attack these islands they have around the Kaaba and attack their
source of income and their economy, what do you think they're going to do to that person, no doubt,
		

			they will try to kill that person. So that means if someone is going to pretend to be a prophet in
Arabia 1400 years ago, they must have a strong motive, because they know they might get killed. And
now you ask the non Muslim or the doubtful Muslim? What would be the motives and just in reference
to criminology, when there's a murder, they look for two things, they look for the murder weapon,
and then they look for the motive. What is the narrative, the story, they're going to give the judge
or the jury as to why so and so killed the other person? What is the motive? So now you get them to
put a list of motives and you can help them? What would motivate a man in Arabia, to risk his life
		

			to create a new religion to claim to be a prophet of Allah? Why is he doing this? So obviously,
people will say things like wealth, so write down wealth, they might say, luxury, power, fame, put
it down, they might say maybe he did it for women write it down. Maybe when one Jewish person said
this to me, maybe he was from another planet, he was from outer space, not a problem, write it down.
Maybe he was a madman or schizophrenic. He heard voices, he got ideas, he thought he was a prophet,
notice, write it down,
		

			list as many motives as possible with the individual. And now what's going to happen, we're going to
go in, using all the data we have about the Prophet sallallahu, artesan, Yanni, there's no man in
history whose life has been recorded like Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, we know everything about him,
we know which direction he combed his hair. We know how he relieved himself, we know every intimate
detail from about his life. And not only that, that information has been very intricately
authenticated, using, you know, the Hadith and the science of Hadith. So now we have all this data,
or we're gonna use it to see if any of these motives are possibly true meaning did he fake and
		

			pretend to be a prophet because he wanted wealth? Then we look at his teachings regarding wealth and
his actions and his lifestyle, concerning wealth. And then we look at the Quran does the Quran
reflect that motive? Yeah. And if someone is risking his life, to become a to pretend to be a
prophet, then his book and his teachings would say, give your money to the prophets. If someone is
risking his life for women, then his book and his teachings would say, give your women and marry
your daughters to the prophet, and so on and so forth.
		

			So then you use all your knowledge of what you know of the prophets of Solomon, his teachings, and
disprove each motive one by one. So it says, The person says, maybe he pretended to be a prophet
because he wanted wealth. Alright, how do we refute that so many refutations First off, in the
beginning of the message, the Quraysh approached him and they said, if it's worth you want, we make
you the wealthiest amongst us. So that doesn't make sense. Then we see the teachings of an obese,
awesome, always against material of materialism and loving the dunya. It's all about spending and
giving from from your wealth and giving to the poor and giving to others. So then that also doesn't
		

			fit with someone risking his life for the sake of wealth, then we look at his life, and it doesn't
make sense that he wanted wealth, because he began before he became a prophet. He was wealthy, and
he became poor after becoming a prophet. So that doesn't sit well with the story. And someone might
say, Well, maybe he couldn't make enough money. No, when the process died, there were 100,000
companions who would give their life for him so he could have taken wealth from them. So then
someone says maybe he wanted luxury, or someone he wanted power type, he wanted luxury, and he's the
one who forbade drinking and utensils of gold and silver. He wanted luxury and his house. The
		

			apartment of Ayesha was six feet by six feet, had walls made of palm stalks and mud, and a roof with
just some palm leaves and some leather to stop the rain from coming in. A straw man a pillow filled
with palm fiber, to where is a luxury in his life. Do we see it in his actions to see it in his
teachings? Do we see him requesting wealth luxury anything from people? So then you can cross out
luxury? Someone says maybe he pretended to be a prophet, just
		

			because he wanted his name to be known.
		

			And again, you can refute it however way you would like. There are many different refutations but he
wanted his name to be known. How many times is the name Muhammad mentioned in the Quran? Some of you
will say for some of you will say five, you will both be correct. Four times the named Mohammed
appears in the Quran once Ahmed so five times is also correct. But how many times is the name of
Musa al salaam mentioned in the Quran 136 times Ibrahim 69 times a you 25 times Isa 25 times down
Sulaiman 17 times, and the list goes on and on and on. So he's risking his life for his name to be
remembered. And then he writes a 600 page book where he is mentioning the names of others far more
		

			times than you mentioned his own name. So you cross that out. So and So you go through the motives
one by one, just giving examples of how to possible ways to do it. Maybe he pretended to be a
prophet, because he wanted women. But well, this is pre Islamic Arabia, you don't have to fake a
religion to get women and people can get married, they can have woman they didn't have to pretend to
create a religion to get married. So that that doesn't sit well either analyze the marriages of the
prophets of Allah and it doesn't look like the action of a womanizer and so on and so forth. And the
more ridiculous the motive mentioned, the easier it will be to refute later on.
		

			And he said that he came from outer space but we know his family we know his father, his his
grandparents, his uncle's, his aunts from his mother's side from his father's side that they need,
the more ridiculous the claim, the easier it will be to disprove it. One time someone asked me he
said, What if he was just a schizophrenic or someone a madman with a problem, a mental problem. He
would have seizures, hear voices, and then he would write this new religion when it comes out of his
seizure. So okay, how many schizophrenics how many epileptics have lived in died from Adam's time
until now? He said 1000s 10s of 1000s. Okay, how many of them when they had a seizure, heard the
		

			voice and came up with a religion that had criminal law and social justice and had all these rules
and regulations and divorce and raising children? How many? He said none. Hello. So what are the
odds? What's the possibility that this is the case with the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and in the
second Hotbot? We'll look at further reason reasons after you disprove all the motives, what other
evidence and arguments can you give to prove that there's no way the problem could have been an
imposter? A pool of holy hada was tougher Allah Allah them Leo Lacombe General donagh for stop video

			for his forgiveness shall prosper.
		

			hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah I mean, what he was happy about.
		

			So, there are other things that indicate that in Ibiza, Allah Salim could not have been an imposter
and that he must have been or had to have been a genuine Prophet, for example, there are many things
but just a few examples of them. That one, if he wrote the Quran for whatever motive he had, the
Quran would never highlight his mistakes, it would never put any mistake of his that he made during
his life. And we know a number of times but for brevity of time, but we know a number of times the
Quran highlighted either the judgment apostle of made that Allah did not want or a mistake, even
though it may be minor, but still it would not be highlighted in the book. We know that and please
		

			do not try to to sell the Quran as a book of science. That's a big mistake that dogs make where they
try to make it look like the Quran is a science book, but there's some science in the Quran. And you
can use it to show the veracity of this message that it could not have been written by a man 1400
years ago in Arabia, the miracles of the Prophet sallahu wa sallam, one of the the prophets of Allah
Salah during aids Allah would recite Surah Al Kama.
		

			And so one of the wisdoms behind that is it later on for the generation that was not there in Mecca.
And the new Muslims who became Muslim later on, when they hear sort of karma recited the Katara
bazzar to one shot called Camera The moon was split.
		

			People did not object to this verse. So they'll feel that so something out of the ordinary, no one
objected to sort of 10 feet. And when they heard this in the Quran, the Quran said what is the
strange story of elephants being pelted by birds and destroyed? They didn't find that strange
because they were all very old.
		

			were of the incident of the elephants. They objected to a journal early Hatha ILAHA Haider, they
made he makes all the idols or gods into one God. That's what they objected to. And they also in the
same way, just like they never objected to certain field, they never objected to the photographer
desire to unshackle karma, because everybody was aware of that. Everyone was aware that the moon
split, one of the miracles of the prophets, alum, amongst many others. And then the other reasons
you can add, would be all the knowledge in the Quran that would be too much for a man in Arabia 1400
years ago in a society that didn't have libraries and books and translated the works of other
		

			nations like the Greeks and what have you. How can he write a book with so much knowledge in it,
knowledge of law and military law and civil rights law and labor law and family law and personal
injury law? And how would he know all this and then the rules of marriage and divorce and how to set
a nation and then on top of that prayer, and history too much. And I'll conclude with this, I had a
co worker one time. And after we went through this exercise, just listed all the talents of the
Prophet Sawsan, that every skill that he would have to know. And he would have to be, like centuries
more advanced and ahead of his time in so many different fields. And we just listed probably 36
		

			different skills of the Prophet SAW salah, then I asked him a question I said, I just want you to,
how can it be that this man in Arabia knew all of this? So he said, he was probably the
reincarnation of all the greatest minds in human history into one person. So I'm going to ask you a
question. I want you to be honest with me. What do you think is more probable that he was the
reincarnation of all the greatest minds in human history? Or that he was just a genuine prophet of
Allah. And the man put his head down, and he said he was probably a genuine prophet of Allah. This
is the most powerful technique that I know of. Just try it. Try it with your coworker. Try it with.
		

			If there's a family member who's doubtful about Islam or its origins, try with your classmates. Just
try it. You will find that when you're done with the analysis, they've got no way either they will
get up a Muslim, or they'll get up knowing Islam is the truth but they just can't become Muslim at
this moment. Without We ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us of those who recognize the truth as
clear truth and follow the best of it, and to make us of those who recognize falsehood as clear
falsehood and abstain from it, for lo Martin and haka converge nativa worried about Lila Bob Dylan
