00:02:57 --> 00:03:06
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was shot on memorium DESERT. Desert in Buddha will collaborate and
Barada. We'll call it out in fun now.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:59
			Brothers and Sisters in Islam today are hooked by his titled, proofs of prophethood. And we've had
requests from some of the mousseline who asked for not just a hook, Bob 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 salam.
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 the young Muslim came up
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:43
			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 alayhi salam, 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 Mohamed Salah
Salem, 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
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:57
			long ago, a Muslim came and they had doubts is Islam. The truth was Muhammad Salah Salem, a genuine
Prophet, is the Quran actually from Allah azza wa jal, and we use the same technique and they and
hamdulillah we're able to come back to their Deen.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			So we want to
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:40
			Start by in this quote, but 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? Any? What kind of questions would you ask
		
00:05:40 --> 00:06:19
			someone that claimed to be a prophet of Allah, someone came to you right now said, 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, Brene, 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 akhirah, about Paradise and the hellfire, anything basic like that
changes, and you immediately can conclude they're not a genuine prophet. So what you're looking for
		
00:06:19 --> 00:07:04
			here is what is what we will 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, then they
don't fit the mold of a prophet. An example we can use is the Mormon as he called himself, the
Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith, who is 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
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:16
			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.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:08:00
			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 Abraham and Islam, with no Haile Salam, and so on and so forth. That's
another dowel 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 effect 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
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:42
			prophet, 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 got these two categories, genuine, and
imposter, then, and in India, 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 impostor Jani, they might say, for example, that an imposter might be
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:55
			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,
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:36
			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'll 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
		
00:09:36 --> 00:10:00
			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 he's 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
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:40
			And 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 idols 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
		
00:10:40 --> 00:11:25
			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, 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 gonna 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
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:59
			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 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, a schizophrenic. He heard voices, he got ideas, he thought he was a
prophet note, write it down.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:10
			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 Addison,
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:54
			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 going to 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
		
00:12:54 --> 00:13:12
			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 Prophet. 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.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:52
			So then you use all your knowledge of what you know of the prophets of Salaam and 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 Quran approached him and they said, if it's wealth you want, we'll
make you the wealthiest amongst us. So that doesn't make sense. Then we see the teachings of an
epistle Salam, always against materialism, 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
		
00:13:52 --> 00:14:33
			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 this story. And
someone might say, Well, maybe he couldn't make enough money. No, when the processor um 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 time he wanted luxury and
he's the one who forbade drinking and utensils of gold and silver. He wanted luxury in his house,
		
00:14:33 --> 00:15:00
			the apartment of Aisha 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? Do you 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
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			because he wanted his name to be known.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:47
			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 Mohammed 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 EWB 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
		
00:15:47 --> 00:16:28
			times than he 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 new 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 doesn't sit well either. Analyze the marriages of the
Prophet SAW Salem 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.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:17:10
			And he's that he came from outer space but we know his family we know his father is his grandparents
his uncle's his aunts from his mother's side from his father's side. But 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 he 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
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:49
			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. So what are the odds? What's the
possibility that this is the case with the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam 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 is no way the problem could have been an imposter? A cola
cola was tougher la la, la la la comida donagh for stop farofa foods and Mr. Frane ask Allah
subhanaw taala first forgiveness indeed those who ask for his forgiveness for prosper.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:07
			hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah I mean, what he was happy about.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:51
			So, there are other things that indicate that in the visa Allah Salam 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 time but for brevity of time, but we know a number of
times the Quran highlighted either the judgment apostle or 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
		
00:18:51 --> 00:19:39
			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 prophets Allah salah, one of the
prophets of Allah Salam during an Eid Salah would recite Surah Al Kamara 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 so little comma recited a Katara DISA to one shop called
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			Kamara. The moon was split.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:59
			People did not object to this verse. So they'll feel that so something out of the ordinary, no one
objected to sort of and fee 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 Oh
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:41
			aware 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 salt and 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 Prophet Salam, 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
		
00:20:41 --> 00:21:27
			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
		
00:21:27 --> 00:22:11
			different skills of the prophets also. 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 gonna 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
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:50
			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 a truth but they just can't become Muslim at this moment. Without
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to make use of those who recognize the truth as clear truth and follow
the best of it, and to make use of those who recognize falsehood as clear falsehood, and abstain
from it, for lomatin and haka converse, Lokomotiva worrying about Lila Barton was mentioned in Alba
