But Allah says in the Quran that a
day will come when we will ask Jesus,
did you tell the people to worship you
and your mother
besides me? And he will say, no chance.
No ways. I didn't say a thing that
you didn't instruct me to say. I told
him to worship the maker alone.
But they started worshiping me and so on.
So why does Allah make mention of the
mother?
The day when Allah will ask Jesus, may
peace be upon him. Did you tell the
people to worship you and your mother? So
some of the people say, well, no one
worships the mother. No. They do.
There are so many factions of the Christians.
There are groups that worship both Jesus and
the mother. In Islam,
any act of worship rendered or when you
ask someone something beyond a certain point, it's
considered worship.
I can ask you, my brother, can you
please give me a glass of water? I
can see the water. I can see the
glass. I can know the ability of this
person and so on. That's not worshiping the
brother. I'm just simply asking him for something
I know that he can actually do right
here, right in front of me. But the
minute I say grant me happiness,
grant me
so on salvation and so on, that's now
on the level of worship. That's for Allah
alone. You ask Allah, oh Allah, grant me
happiness. Oh Allah, grant me cure and so
on. That's Allah. That's for Allah alone. So
if you know
in a lot of the churches, and again
the Christians are divided whether or not they
should be having
statues. Many Christians believe you're not allowed to
have statues. The Jews actually believe it's totally
forbidden to have statues. And the Muslims believe
it's forbidden to have statues just like the
And so what happened? SubhanAllah.
They put up statues of both Jesus and
mother Mary. And therefore you see in a
lot of the churches, there's both those statues.
This is what Allah is saying.
They mentioned both of those,
yourself and your mother. It's not just out
of something. People say the Quran is wrong
because no one worships the mother of Jesus
and all they do. Maybe you don't know.
It's like someone says, well, you know what?
We don't know all the sects. Well, I'm
telling you there are sects who worship the
mother. There it goes. So bottom line
is Jesus taught to worship the maker alone.
That's it. And that's why from among the
Christians, there are those who don't believe in
the trinity. Did you know that? Yes, they
are. From among the Christians, there are those
who don't believe the 25th
December
is actually the day of Christmas.
The day of the birth of Jesus. When
I went to Ethiopia,
sometime in January they said, well, this is
the birth of Jesus. And they they were
orthodox Christians and I got to talk to
them and so on. A lot of beautiful
detail I learned. Some say, no, it was
actually July, August because
that's the time when the date is ripe
and when you shake the tree, it actually
falls down. Well, subhanAllah,
in Islam we do not know the exact
date. But all we know is the day
Jesus was born, blessed day. We're happy.
We're excited. He was a messenger. He came
about with goodness.
He taught the 10 commandments. We adopt them.
We accept them. We acknowledge them. The first
one is to worship Allah alone. That's the
first commandment.
Subhanallah.
Not to associate partners with Allah. It's like
saying, la ilaha illallah. That's literally the first
commandment.
May Allah Almighty grant us
life upon that and death upon that. Amen.
