Play with the fireworks.
So now inshaAllah we'll be talking about how
to make dawah to Christians.
Okay?
Then maybe in the future we'll be talking
about how to make dawah to a Muslim.
And maybe in the last before I leave
inshallah, we'll talk about
how to give a footba and how to
give a lecture
in in an Islamic way.
I've been doing dawah for so many years.
So today's inshallah,
lecture will be briefly some tips, pieces of
advice on how to make DAO to Christians.
There are 2 approaches.
The first one is the debating
approach. So you mean a Christian and you
start to debate with them.
This is not a good way, and I
will tell you why in a minute. The
other one is the educational one.
They already know what they believe, so what
you need to do is to give them
what we believe, what they don't know.
Okay.
Ta'ib, if you meet someone and you start
to talk to them about Islam, so instead
of focusing on tawheed and talking about the
pillars of Islam, you start to talk about
the bible and the y'all,
how wrong they are and how corrupted the
bible is, and and you start to make
fun of them and make them look like
idiots. They will not accept from you.
If you tell them, for example, Inshallah, you
were made, you'll fail in your math class
a big time. Why? Because
to you guys, 1 +1+1
is 1.
You will fail a big time. Okay.
Or you tell him, you know what?
When we go to the masjid, we Muslims,
we leave our shoes outside. We take our
brains inside the masjid because everything is that
is said and inside makes sense. To your
churches, you leave your brains outside, and you
take your shoes in. Okay? If you make
fun of them, if you offend them, they
will shut you
off. They will not listen to you. Okay?
So you
have to tell them what you
know or what you believe in Islam and
focus on Taqim. This is the most important
thing. Don't talk to them about their faith
because they already know it. Okay? Just give
them
the Islamic perspective.
Okay.
Encyclopedias
say the same thing. Islam started with prophet
Mohammed in the 7th century. This is wrong.
According to the Quran, Islam started with Adam
Alaihi Salam. So all the prophets,
Musa, Aiza,
in the ladina aaman Muhammadu Sadiqat. How many
times you read in the Quran?
So Islam has always been about believing in
1 God, Tawgheed,
and doing good. Those who have faith in
1 God and do good. This is repeated
like a 100 times in the Quran or
more.
No
prophet ever called his religion anything
except
submission, which is Islam.
Tell them, for example,
what did Dawood, a a sallam, call his
religion?
They did this
then? Of course not. What about Ibrahim?
Ibrahimism?
No.
What about Musa, a a sallam? Did he
call his religion Judaism?
Of course not. The word Judaism does not
exist in the whole bible.
Google it. The word Judaism is not in
the bible.
What about Musa Alaihisram? Did he ever call
his religion Christianity?
The answer is no. The word Christianity is
not in the whole bible. So these names
were made much later in the story, 100
of years after these prophets. Okay?
All of them said the same thing. Have
faith in one God and be a good
guy. This is what all they all said.
Where do we find this?
In the 10 commandments of the Christians and
the Jews, the 10 commandments of Abayar Rasha.
The first four of them say what?
Have faith in 1 God, serve him alone,
don't use his name in vain. This is
what the 10 commandments say. From 5 to
10,
don't kill,
don't lie, don't steal, be a dougah.
We have the same thing, the 10 commandments
are mentioned in Surat Al An'am.
So the prophet
says
every single human being is born
with this innate nature,
preformatic
to ask to to to make tawain,
to have faith in one god, tawein, and
to be a good person.
This is the default.
Then the prophet, sallam, says, but the parents,
they mess up the software. They changed everything,
And this is statistically true.
If you look at the map of the
world, more than 95%
of the people in this world have certain
religious beliefs just because of their parents,
not because they chose them type.
So I tell
them, if I were born,
say for example, in China,
Musa,
so based on this, my name would be
Musa
Fad Sautung,
and most likely I will be Buddhist because
this is what most people believe in China.
Right?
If I were born in Latin America,
my name would be Roberto Mustafa.
Okay? And I would be Catholic because this
is what most people believe there.
If I were born
in Europe, my name would be John Mustafa
and most likely, I would be atheist because
this is what most people believe over there.
If I were born in Egypt or Morocco,
most likely, I would be Muslim because this
is what most people believe.
So following a certain faith in the world
has more to do with the parents and
the culture than conviction and common sense, and
this is what Rasulullah, sallam, says.
Also, there is another important observation.
Human beings have not been
satisfied
throughout history with the idea of believing in
an invisible god, a spooky god.
So what they do basically, they have to
see the god. They have to touch him,
taste him, smell him, squeeze him.
So what they did basically,
they have always put a face on god
with the exception of Muslims.
Okay.
This face they put on god could be
a human face like aisa alaihi salam or
buddha
or it could be an animal face like
the holy cow in India and the holy
elephant in China
or the crocodile in Asia Egypt or the
owl or the mouse and so on and
so forth. Some people even put the face
of the shaitan on Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Satanism. They worship the devil. Why?
Because they have to see God. They have
to see him.
In the story of Musa Alaihi Salam and
his people when they crossed the red sea,
they went outside Egypt.
They have been living with the Egyptians, my
people,
for centuries.
So they were
familiar with the idea of believing in a
god they could see from the Egyptians because
the Egyptians have thousands of gods.
The ancient Romans and the Greeks, they have
thousands of gods.
So what did they do after they left?
They
passed by a people on the way outside
who were worshiping idols. So the Banu they
said, oh, Musa, we want to see Allah,
so make a statue for us. So and
so can we worship him because we can't
worship a guy we can't see.
This is what they said.
For Muslims, it is different.
Allah is Allah. He is the creator. We
are the creation and we cannot be the
same.
If you read in Surah Al Khawr al
Adhanus,
we're started in the second rakat, it says,
Allah is 1.
Allahu
Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu
Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu
Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu
Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu
Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu
Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu
Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu Allahu
Allahu Allahu Allahu
doesn't need anyone. He's self sufficient.
Lam Yalit,
he doesn't have children, so Jesus is not
his son. Walam yulam, he has no father.
Walam yalbulahu fu nah. There is none like
unto him. He doesn't look like Buddha. He
doesn't look like Jesus. He doesn't look like
the holy cow in India and China and
all that stuff. Allah is unique.
Visions cannot grasp him, but he grasps all
visions. He is different from his creation.
Right?
When Christians come to the masjid
here in tour, some sometimes we get, students
from divinity schools, and they ask me after
I give them the introduction to Islam and
everything.
So in different
on several occasions they ask me, so what
what you are saying basically,
do you want us to convert to Islam?
And I tell them no.
And I'm not asking you to convert to
Islam. I'm asking you to convert to Christianity.
Why? Because if you accept
the teachings of Isa alaihis salaam, Christianity,
you will be automatically Muslim. So I want
you to convert to Christianity, and then you
will become Muslim because you have to be
the best Christian to be a Muslim. Okay.
Simple as that. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
telling us in the Quran, wa la tuja'ilu
ahlalkhidabi
illa biladhi asan illa ladheen abalahumun. Don't debate
with the people of the book, the Jews
and the Christians, unless there's someone who who
is unjust. Someone forces himself on you and
he's starting a debate.
So I personally, I don't like to start
debates with non Muslims, but if they started,
I finished.
Okay.
The differences between Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. Okay.
We know that Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala sent prophets
in different times, and we read in Hadith
that from from the time of Adam alaihis
salam to Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam. Allah
subhanahu wa'ala sent
around a
124,000
prophets and messengers.
So every nation
received a prophet according to the Quran.
As I said, all of them said the
same thing, have faith in 1 man and
be a good person.
Risa Al Islam said the same thing. Musa
said the same thing. All
of them said the same thing.
So when they asked me, is Christianity and
Judaism and Islam different? Because
it seems they teach different things. Well,
it boils down to,
these differences, but
theology.
But on the other side, your relationship with
God.
But the other side which is universal ethics,
be good, be sincere, be kind, be generous,
all of them teach the same thing. Okay.
But tawrene is what makes a difference
between the 3 religions.
So they say, how come that all of
them come from the same source
but they are different? And I tell them,
I compare Judaism to Windows
98,
Christianity to Windows Vista,
and Islam to Windows 8.
Different versions. Okay? What is different between them
is the organization and the graphics.
Islam is more organized.
It makes people's lives simple and easy. Everything
is very clear. No vain teachings. Everything is
clear. And this is the difference.
So the difference is, number 1, the perception
of God.
So for example, in the old testament of
the Jews,
you have a God who looks like humans.
In the new testament of the Christians, you
have a human who looks like God. Jesus.
Then in Islam, God is God. Humans are
humans. How? If you look at the old
testament, on page 1, the first page,
it says that Allah
created the heavens and the earth
on in 6 days, but he got tired
on the 6th day so he had to
take a rest. This is why the 7th
day was his day off because he wanted
to rest.
And this is a human quality. Right?
Only humans
need rest. And Allah, subhanahu wa'ala, answered this
in the Quran.
We never got tired. So Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala said, I created the heavens and the
earth in 6 days, and I never got
tired
by creating them.
Then when Adam, a a sallam, a few
pages after, when Adam, a a sallam, and
Hawa came from the tree in the
garden, they realized
they disobeyed Allah, so they hid Iftafu fin
fijal alistabab.
They
said in the old testament in the book
of Genesis, Sifr al Taqwim, that Allah
started to look for Adam in Jannah.
He started to look for him under 3.
He used to call him Adam, Adam, where
are you?
As if Allah didn't know where Adam was
hiding.
Number 2. Also, number 3, in the story
of yahoo, kalayhi salaam,
it says
had a fight with Allah subhanahu wa'ala with
a sword, and, Yaqub alaihis salam almost defeated
Allah in fighting.
So God had to cheat
to beat Yaqub alaihis salaam. And when God
was defeated,
he gave Yaqub alaihis salaam the name Israel,
Israel.
So Yaqub
alaihis
salaam. Yahu. It's It's the same thing. So
yahoo alayhis salam has has two names.
So these are the teachings about God in
the old testament. In the new testament, you
have a human being, aisa alayhis salam, who
looks like God.
The original said,
humans are sinful because Adam, alaihi salam, came
from the tree.
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in the
Quran, laatasiruwazilatumuzil'u'far.
No human soul shall bear the burden or
the sin of another soul.
Plus, in the Quran,
Adam alaihis salam was forgiven.
Adam
alaihis salam was forgiven.
So how can we share his sin if
we are forgiven?
Salvation
according
to the Quran is based on 2 things.
So we go to Jannah by 2 things,
by your deeds,
your actions, your good deeds like sala alaydah,
sadaqah,
and most importantly,
the grace of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So
but according to the Christian belief, you go
to Jannah if you accept the Isa alayhi
salam as as your lord. So I tell
them,
and I had this debate like about a
month ago. I went to a school to
give a talk about Islam. So the teacher
came to me after him, he was not
happy and he said,
how can you guys have to do good
deeds? How how to make salah and fast
Ramadan to go to Jannah? But in our
case, we don't have to do any good
deeds to go to Jannah.
So I told him, you are saying basically,
if you live a horrible life, if you
drink,
if you * women, if you kill, you
will go to Jannah. And if you spend
your whole life as a Christian worshiping God,
you will go to Jannah too? So what
is the difference? He said because of the
grace of God and all of that. If
you accept him, you'll go to Jannah. Okay.
I said, okay. I'll make it clear to
you. You are telling me that mother Teresa,
who is a saint in Christianity, she was
Indian, I think,
will be in Jannah according to your belief
with Hitler because both of them were Catholic.
Hitler was Catholic. Mother Teresa was Catholic.
He said, no. No. No. I think you
are right. But these are important. I said,
this is what the Quran says, man.
What's wrong with you?
Right.
Crucifixion,
ayesha,
alayhi salam, according to the beliefs, was crucified
so he can we can give the sin
of Adam, ayesha, for giving eating from the
tree. So we tell him that according to
the Quran, he was Adam was forgiven, so
raihi
salaam didn't have to die for somebody else's
sins.
Plus, raihi salaam never said any word in
the bible they have in their hands. He
never used the word crucified
or crucifixion or the cross. All he said,
I will have to go so someone else
can come
and finish the job. This is what Isa
alaihi salam said. And the word he used,
the person who will come after Raeesa, alaihis
salam,
in Latin is the word paracletus.
Paracletus
in Latin means
what?
The praised one. And what does the praised
one
mean?
Muhammad.
So in the original language of the bible
which was Aramaic,
Isa alaihis salam spoke Aramaic,
he put the word Muhammad in there, but
they translated it to paraclete as the praised
one. Then in the, in the subsequent translations,
they changed the word to the comforter, al
Muhambas,
al Hayayna.
So they changed it completely so it doesn't
mean Muhammad anymore.
Okay?
And this is a betrayal of the text
because when we translate, you don't translate names.
So if you say that how Mustafa
says something, you don't say the chosen one
said something.
No. Use Mustafa because names are not translated.
The infallibility of the prophets
in the Old Testament and also in the
new one, some prophets, they did horrible things.
How?
It says, for example, that
in the Old Testament,
that Lut alaihis salam came to find
fluidness in the society.
They said Lut alaihis salam had * with
his 2 daughters and they got pregnant. This
is what the old testament says.
Title.
So he defeated the whole purpose. He came
to fight sexuality in the society and he
fell in the same sin. Title.
Suleyman alaihis salam, madamud, his father,
they came to call to Tawhid.
Right?
And according to the old testament in the
book of kings and in other places that
Suleyman alaihis salam and the wood, they used
to make sujood to the asna.
This is shit. Okay?
Also,
Nuh alaihis salam who came to teach people
righteousness,
Teman,
according to the bible, he got drunk and
naked.
Okay. And his children saw him naked. Okay.
You have someone like Dawood alaihis salaam.
He
had a relationship with his famous wife.
She got pregnant.
So Dawud alaihis salam conspired to get her
husband killed.
His name is Uriah and his neighbor's wife
was Beit Sheeb.
These things are not acceptable at all in
islamically. We we believe in these prophets, but
we reject these stories.
If they do something
wrong, nobody will follow them.
Back in 2008,
100 of 1000 of Americans didn't vote for
Obama. Why?
Because they said he smoked cigarettes.
So smoking cigarettes for them was something that
is not acceptable. Nobody should have a leader
who smokes,
and I'm not talking about weed,
and I'm not talking about anything else.
I,
last night we're having home dawah. We're visiting
some youth in their home and teaching them
something about Islam and we prayed taisha with
them. So one of the brothers said the,
in Islam we need beer and we need
wheat.
Asir Al Khaim,
he said, wheat,
we need tashweed.
And beer, we need takbir.
So this is the wheat and the beer
we need in Islam. Takbir and tashweed.
Okay.
Thay.
And the the last point I wanna make,
mas alit, and we'll continue next time. We
don't wanna keep the 30 minutes thing.
Waluhi
Okay. Did he ever say I'm God for
worshiping in the bible? The problem is,
churches, even when I go to divinity schools
and seminars,
the first question I asked them,
have you guys ever read the whole bible
from cover to cover? Because I have read.
I studied the bible. I studied Christianity and
Judaism. Have you guys read the bible from
cover to cover? The answer is no.
Most of them, they never read it. Maybe
1 or 2 guys were ready who raised
their hands, but the rest of them, they
have not read it. What they do, they
go with the teachings of the church.
And the teaching of the church is something,
but what the bible says is something different.
Okay.
And I asked them, have you read the
Quran?
If you haven't read the bible, of course,
they have not read the the Quran.
Okay. Logic.
So I say, how come you make a
judgment on Islam and Christianity if you have
not read the Quran on the Quran? Something
is wrong with you. You have to read
the book to be able to to judge.
If Raisa alaihi salam because the most important,
the most fundamental belief in Christianity is that
Raisa alaihi salam is God.
How come if this is the most important
thing
and he never mentioned it even once in
the whole body? He he forgot to say
why?
Like, say for example, salah is the most
important thing in Islam.
Can you imagine the Quran failing to say
once
you guys have to pray? Can you imagine
the prophet he
was not able to say once, you guys
have to pray?
If it is the most important thing, he
has to say. The prophet said to pray.
The last word the prophet
said before he gave up his soul was
a salam to salam to salam to salam
to salam to salam to salam to salam
to pray. Okay.
The last example I wanna give before we
leave,
I always tell them 2 things. Number 1,
it is easier
to prove
the existence
of Santa Claus from the back end than
to prove the divinity of.
You can easily prove the existence of Santa
Claus. There's no such thing as Santa Claus,
but you can prove that he exists from
the bible, but you cannot prove that Isa
Alaihi Salam is God because he never said
it. Okay.
Next time, we'll show you that Ayesha alaihi
salam said about himself in the bible.
Everything Allah says about him in the Quran,
that he was a prophet. He was a
human being. He came only to the Jews.
He was not a universal figure. He didn't
know Al Hayd.
He couldn't do anything without the help of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. All this is mentioned
in the Bible and in the Quran.
The last thing, I tell them, if there
is a person who lives in the desert,
he doesn't know anything about Christianity
or the church,
Then this person who doesn't know anything about
the religion
comes across the bible in the desert, and
he reads it from cover to cover. So
after reading it, do you think he will
come up with the idea of 1 God
to read or 3?
1. Because there's no 3 in the bible.
And this is why the hikmah of Allah
Subhanahu Wa'ala. The ayah the verses were recited
in the first rakah,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, walatahqooru
falaafat.
That it is 3,
don't say 3 because it is not there.
Allah is 1 and this is what the
Isa alaihi salaam said all the time
and we'll finish today if you have questions
inshallah, we can answer them next time.
