Mufti Menk – The Intelligent Among Us… Who?

			So the most intelligent from amongst us of those who declare that they worship their maker alone,
and they seek from the one whom they are going to return to that he has mercy upon them when they
return to Him. So I say, Oh, you who made me, have mercy upon me or you who made me, I worship you
alone, I will put my head on the ground for you and declare your greatness because you made me. So
don't take risks. Allah says, Just call me Allah. You know, in Hebrew, they use the term no him or
no have similar meaning. And it's also the one supreme deity. When the Jewish people say, we worship
the one supreme maker and deity, they're talking about Allah. And yes, we differ with them in
		

			certain things and matters. But regarding the concept of godhood, the similarities are probably more
than all other faiths, between Judaism and Islam. So we say Allah, no one who made us know. And he
sent to us from the very beginning messages, manuscripts, messengers, he sent to us so many and
proof of it is, look, we have major religions on earth today, the major religions, the vast
majority, the bulk, the billions, so Hannah law, you have Jews, Christians, and Muslims, those are
in the majority, right? So you look at them, all of their teachings are taken from the same source,
there are so many similarities between them, yes, there are differences. But there are so many
		

			similarities. And you will find that those teachings are interconnected. SubhanAllah there has to be
some source, the Muslims respect and honor and believe in Jesus May peace be upon him, Moses, may
peace be upon him. And all the others that
		

			they have mentioned in the Old Testament, and all of those that the Christians believe in as well as
the Jews.
		

			And the Muslims believe in Mohammed, peace be upon him and the teachings of Muhammad peace be upon
him, are actually just an extension of the teachings of Jesus and the others. And Allah says, We
have sent you to confirm what the others have brought. And it's a fact because look at it on the
ground. Yes, as much as we may not, in some instances even get along well, but we still believe
things that are very, very similar. So Mandela, it goes to show there is some truth in it. And I
believe there is absolute truth in the fact that the one who made me is the only one who is owed
worship. No one else, none else. Luck.
