The Purpose Of Life Is Not To Harlem Shake John Yahya On The Deen Show

Bismillah Alhamdulillah Salaam Alaikum greetings of peace. Thank you for tuning in to the deen show. Is your boss driving you crazy? Are you just living from paycheck to paycheck? Party to party?

And everything is just getting tiring. It's getting played out and you're asking yourself, what's this all about? What's the purpose? Many people don't reflect on why am I here? You're born to die. And then what do you got in between? It's a big drama. Some days are good. Some days are bad. Some days you're sick some days you're sad. So we're gonna, on this episode of the dean show, answer that crucial question. That I'm glad you're thinking about. What's the purpose? What's it all about? life here on the dean show with my next guest? Hey, Mom, john, we'll be right back.

This is the

Salam Alaikum Peace be with you. I didn't go Masada Morocco love Rekha to Peace, blessings and mercy of the Almighty God be upon thank you for joining us, ma'am. JOHN yahia, named after john the baptist. In Arabic. Yah, yah, yah, you accepted this way of life that provides all the answers to life purpose while you've been here, and I open up the show with these facts that some people they're having, like most of us, is a struggle in and of itself, life and the boss is driving him or her crazy, he's become a slave to an individual, and to the paycheck and to materialism. And then the person wakes up one day and they're like, Man, I'm not happy, there's got to be more, they're

finally reflecting all the friends are gone. They're by themselves, might have had a loved one just pass. His wife left him after 30 years, his girlfriend that he lived for he was a slave to her. She was a slave to him. They broke it off. Maybe he's gotten everything. So different circumstances, different situations, one got all the money, he's still not happy. The other one lost everything. And they're just going in a big circle wondering now. They tune in, and they want to know, what do these people have to say? Maybe they got the answers. What's the purpose of life? Right? What's it all about? You see, brother Eddie, the reality of life that we want to believe is that money, fame,

power, status is going to make you happy? Well, the statistics show that the actors and athletes and so on and so forth, that even doctors, engineers, and very wealthy people, oftentimes are some of the most depressed people filled with anxiety, their life is not fulfilling. They have a lot of things that they're not able to deal with. And that is as simply as you said it in their life. They feel themselves subject or devoted to worldly things, to material things. And as human beings brother, we have

a creator, as all things on the universe, but as human beings, we have this awareness of self, of morality of right of wrong, of the impact of actions of what's good for the world, what's bad for the world. It's something built in it's an innate knowledge. So in the Holy Quran, we were told in a verse in the end of sorts that yet where he says well, mahalo Aqua to Regina will insert li li Abu. Now someone's like, okay, you're quoting something, I can't understand what you're saying. He said, Who's he? Please tell us for the very good. So the Holy Quran is the final revelation of God, to mankind. And in this revelation, it is telling all about the relationship between God and humans,

and then how humans should understand in the light of God and His will, the relationship amongst themselves, so that they could properly arrange their affairs and deal with each other in peace to attain this understanding. So in that verse that we recite, and we prefer to recite a verse of the Quran, at least first in Arabic, to reference to everyone that it is preserved in the original language it was revealed, which is something that

There is not the luxury of any other previous revelation, in one thing, people's time has changed people's different versions and so forth and, and so on. So the core ends very special book. So the verse says to us, that God says, I newly created human beings for the purpose of serving me. Now somebody might say, well, that's just you know, God is just seems to be full of himself. Why not? He's the creator of the universe. What he's saying is, is that he is this all powerful, all knowing, source of everything, he's the Absolute Truth. And out of all of his creations, he is preferred and given the precedents to mankind, that they know the reality that they're living in, they know right

and wrong, they have this creative intellectual ism and this ability to make the world around them and to build the world around. So he has given us this innate inherent knowledge. So So he says, one of singleness of Allah foodora taqwa, he created the human being and then he inspired all human beings, what is beneficial to their soul and what is good for them, and that which will harm them and corrupt them for the ephah Hammons aka, it is a fact true success. true success and success is what makes you happy. When you're truly successful, then you're happy. And that is in purifying their soul that is in taking care and nurturing their soul with spiritual food and remembrance of

God walked out the harbor man this and the fact is that last and

astray, is the one who has corrupted their soul. Now, I don't mean to cut you off, but someone says, look, you know, I've been down that route. I used to be a Christian Bart Ehrman, for instance, the Bible scholar, you know, Bart Ehrman is not sure no, okay, he's a great Bible scholar of today's age, born again, Christian, and he was look devout. But then for instance, many people like him, they dwell deep into their religion, their roots, and they said, this is man made. This has contradictions in it, this can't be from God. So they put all religions everything in the same boat and say, Look, this is all manmade mumbo jumbo. Now you bringing me back to this religion thing?

What do you got to say? And they're thinking that you know what, Islam is just another opinion, it just, you know, another man made religion, why should I follow this right brother, see, the difference between, of course we have to clarify, Islam did not start in Arabia, with the Prophet Mohammed, it was finalized at that point, Islam was being revealed throughout history all over the world to many, many prophets, 1000s of profits, for mankind to have some knowledge. But one of the facts of previous Prophethood was that God would reveal a message. And he would test them by saying, this message, and its law and his teachings, it's your responsibility to live it and preserve its

meaning in your lives. Right, because there might be a new Prophet, there'll be a new prophet that will come and clarify, if people did go astray. Well, he testified that the Prophet Mohammed was going to be his final messenger. And so he preserved that message that he came with, which is good for all peoples, and all times in all places. So most people are judging Islam through the lens of a Judeo Christian experience. And that is not a fair, objective judgment. Yes, it's the same God that revealed those scriptures to those prophets previously. But it the human beings corruption cannot erase or remove or distort the actual texts. Yes, they can interpret them in their own corrupt ways.

But the good thing is, we have a very tied in scholarship to it that has a general orthodoxy and a general understanding, which is very rich and very flexible, that is telling us, you know, the understanding as it was passed down through the generation, so Islam, if you take a fair shot at it, you will see that the purpose of life is in getting to know your Creator, how can you serve someone you don't know? Like, if you were walking down the street, imagine you're walking down the street, and some person just walks up to you out of nowhere and says, Hey, can you do this and that for me? Now, of course, as a person with very strong faith in mercy, compassion and generosity, you're going

to try to do what you can to help them. But most people are on that level, what are they going, what are you talking about? Right? But if their close friend or their mother or their father, their brother, their sister came to them and ask them, can you do this for me, they have this knowledge of that person. They had this closeness. They have this awareness of them in this close intimate way and it makes them feel much more obligated to want to serve them and their request. So similarly,

is the case if you know God, and you've come to know Him through an authentic revelation that has its proves, you know, the Quran is different from the previous scripture in that, obviously, there is no contradiction in it. There is no verse that says this. And then later verses says, No, that's not the case. This is, and there's a very compatible reality between modern science and, and the verses that talk about the reality of creation in the end. So there's so much about the life of the Prophet Muhammad Ali. And it was revealed to him that an objective researcher when they look into it, and we find so many people we find many great scientists.

People have intellect. People have, you know, what was it the other day, Tony Blair's sister in law embraced Islam, she he was the Prime Minister of England, Islam is being embraced by people who have this desire to seek knowledge and try to know the truth, not just people who are looking for a philosophical way, thought the respect to other religions, most people that convert to Buddhism or Hinduism or something, you know, they're just looking for some philosophical, Self Help system of life or whatever. They're in some mystical journey. But whereas Islam, you usually find those that come to Islam, they're really seeking the knowledge. They're really wanting to know who is God so

that I can really serve you people. I feel like I can't serve them whenever I look at the Scripture, and it doesn't make sense. ambiguous. Yeah, Islam is clear. Yeah, we're gonna be right back with more lucid clear explanations of what the creator wants from us what the purpose is here on the deen show, okay, you've got your dream home, and you've got your dream car, but you're gonna get old and things got to happen to you in your life. And then what have you got, at the end of the day, it's an empty dream that has no real Foundation, we are going to die. And we're going to meet our Lord and He is going to judge us, it becomes an obligation for each single human being to find out what the

Quran is. Islam is telling us to stay away from things which are bad for your person and bad for the society.

Back here on the D show with the mom, Yahya, you came from a Catholic background, born, bred and raised in America, you were searching for purpose of life. You went from Catholicism to born again, Christian. And then you stumbled upon Islam. And you were using your mind you were taking an analytical scientific approach. That's the way we go. That's the way we got to go. So you weren't looking to be an Arab. You are looking to get you know, into some freak show or something. You are looking for the truth? Yeah. And you found it. Is that right? Yes. you've memorized this book, The verbatim Word of God the Quran is one of the miracles that are tangible that people can investigate,

look at, to see the scientific proofs that you mentioned, prophecies, Authenticity, it's all in this Quran is. Now my next question is the person lived 30 years serving their boss, they just got fired. Now we got their attention, they might get another job, they might start becoming a slave to somebody else. Right. Now,

the person who just broke up with Susie, Mikey, and they're listening to the country music, and they're getting some solids, because that's how the country music sounds my lost my house. But now why is it so important that you really take the matter seriously, and you don't just drift off again, and you start going like a dog chasing his tail, you know, you go around life in circles, now you just get another relationship. And then you live for the weekends. And then you take her out, you take, you know, let him take you out. And then again, you're just you know, living according to your lesson desires accumulating wealth, and then again, it's the same thing, then you die. And you

didn't live your true purpose in life the way the creator wanted you to live. Why is this so important? While we have their intention, they were flickering through and they tuned into the deen show, or a friend said, you got to watch this show. They talk about reality truth. Why is it so important? You see, brother, when we look at people's lives, and we look at the purpose of life, we see that people are engulfed in a material that a lot of people they have spiritual and the reality of what might happen after I die. It seems far away. And it makes sense because even in the Arabic it calls the afterlife and what we're facing eventually is accurate, which means far, right. Doing

here means worldly means close, do something close to something you can touch. So really what a person needs to weigh out is human beings are obviously not animals like others. We obviously are superior to monkeys and we obviously aren't monkeys. You will

When we look at this studio, we're sitting in, find me bring, try to do whatever you can with any chimpanzee, and develop some sort of ability to do what we're doing right now at least have a conversation in the first place. So we are clearly different and special. So somebody needs to think about, why am I different? Why do I have these abilities that no, no other creature? Has the abilities that we have? And then they need to look at creation itself, is creationism haphazard thing that just popped up out of nowhere? Or is it a bunch of very systematic structured

systems that are functioning all around the fact of how our how our body digests food and how the brain works and how the blood is distributing nutrients and getting rid of waste, and all of the different things that are happening right now, the way our eyes are taking that light, bouncing it making everything, how all of that is so very deep and complex. The first thing we need to come to is, how did it get so complex and clearly, creatively designed, not haphazardly blown up in? Luckily, everything on planet earth just became very structured for all this life, and all of this intelligence and so forth. So when we look at that, then we look at the history of the world. What

is about God? What is the most clear part of history, it's called Prophethood. Profits came with miracles throughout history, they did things that blew everybody's mind, and caused them all to become devout believers in what those prophets were teach them what those prophets taught.

Even in our modern world, you know, you have this argument right now, should we have the 10 commandments in the court are not? Of course, we should have them in there? Well, they're saying, well, because that's religion. Well, the whole society's laws are built on religions, laws that came out a long time ago. And so then what's interesting is those same people, if you go in this argument with them, that are struggling with God and all of this, they will admit that they think that humans made these commandments and that therefore our benefit, right? So the fact is that they are not made by humans, because they come from these prophets, who did these miracles who represent God's message

to mankind. And they came and they established this light, and we're on living, don't steal, don't kill, it's not, of course, now society wants to follow us desire. So people are fornicating. But deep down, if you ask somebody, if your wife is with someone else, if your mom slept with someone else beside your father, is that okay with you? They will say, No, they know that that's wrong, right? So we have a society that has all of the right in front of their eyes. The question is, are we going to seek for the deeper purpose? Or are we just going to try to be like other animals? Clearly, we're not like them. So we need to actualize? Where is the truth about all this intelligent

design that we live amongst? What is the truth about what we're doing here on on earth? The fact is, this revelation has said over and over, some people bring the argument, they say, Well, if you say there's a God, well, then why is there you know, earthquakes and disasters and people born with diseases? Yes, yeah. Well, the fact is no religion, no people that are attaching themselves to Prophethood in some way, whether it be a perfect message that was purified and preserved as Islam is a proven fact to be, or as other ones, which they even admit amongst their scholarship, that there's been some human interest in writing and developing of dogmas and ideas, all of them are in

agreement, that life is a test. And that life is not perfect in life is not Heaven, we're not living in paradise. So we should not expect there to be a paradise, we're living in a test to prove are we attached to the Creator, is our ultimate devotion to the Creator. And in recognizing that I am grateful to be created. I am loyal to the one that gave me my life. I want to spread the good that he did in giving me my life. He gave me my life. That's very good. He gave me the ability to hear and to see. And all of the fruits and vegetables and oxygen that I breathe, are just facilitated for me, in the world around me. It's so much of a blessing that he has surrounded around me. So am I

going to be grateful? Am I going to yearn and seek a relationship with that creator through an objective research looking in my heart looking in scriptures, looking at history of Scripture, being objective, removing myself from the idea that my culture and my family and our society's beliefs and the way we must just were not on the Day of Judgment going to be judged by our passport nationality, according to be judged, and I'm

Talking to Muslims to their Muslims, I think they should be Muslim because their parents are Muslim, that does not make Islam the right word faith is the religion that you choose should be based upon proofs and evidences, proofs and evidences within the Scripture, the text, the one who brought it, what it teaches, in your heart, what's right, and what makes sense. When you put all that together, then you should submit your will, to what you know is going to affect you after you die because

at least within the Judeo Christian, we do believe that God will judge people, because we're responsible for our lives. And so we have a responsibility over doing the right thing. And when we do it, you know, there's so many people out there that did evil bro. They did murder, corruption, stealing, cheating, and never where they accounted for any of that. They just went through the life doing all that, should they just go straight to heaven? Were with all the people who let a good decent life and kindness and love and compassion towards others, or should they be accounted for what should they be purified from what they knew they were doing wrong, and they did not get

accounted in this life. Similarly, there's people that went out there and spread goodness and kindness and acts of greatness to people yet they were never given any such reward for that. And we as people who believe in rewards, we give out Nobel prizes, and then we have jails. So this is we all live what's been built in the system of, of recognizing good and and embracing that and, and encouraging that and then rebuking and punishing evil and bad and corruption. So that's something built into us. It is clearly part of a bigger design of being either God's people who are people of goodness of compassion, of mercy, of a discipline that says, you know, I'm a creative person, like

the creator and I'm seeking to follow in his life of goodness and spreading the well being for creation. Okay? And I'm not a person of destructive evil corruptive ways, which is opposite an antithesis to a godly life. We're gonna take another break, and we're back with more on the purpose purpose of life here and the deen show, you think these things are gonna bring you happiness? You know why you keep going back to the club, and you keep going back to these desires.

Because you never find satisfaction.

It's gonna end up causing you if it hasn't already a lot of pain.

Think you're happy? You're kidding yourself, is really

what we are offering in Islam. What we have found in Islam for ourselves, is a means by which our hearts are at peace. They're at rest. They're not discontent, we are pleased with what we have.

Back here on a D show, we're talking about purpose isn't meant for the purpose of life to be something nebulous that now everyone has their opinion, you ask someone and so unclear, and the person gets bewildered. And they're like, either a Why are you asking me? b? I never thought about it. See all well, it's to get a big House on the Prairie. raise a family is to be good to people. The other one's saying this. The other one's saying that it's like multiple choice, no one really can answer lucidly like you did. And we're going to close out, we're almost out of time with what the Creator is saying. But is it meant to be something that's nebulous? unclear, it's like no, see,

that's vague us.

Going back to the fact of history, this is a fact of history. This is you know, some people want to say, Moses and what he did Jesus and what he did, Mohammed and why that's all he just wrote down their history. Okay, the same people want to believe in Alexander the Great and Stalin and all of those that are taking someone as role models. Yeah, yeah, there are at least they're believing in some part of the major impacting history, whenever it suits whatever they've decided to believe for whatever worldly desires and interests that they have. So the fact is, Prophethood is a historical reality. Gods and prophets Providence did miracles, not like magic tricks, but like, sees partying,

blind and lepers being healed by touch, moons splitting, do they come with different religions or one one way of life, same message. The problem is did any of them call people to worship themselves saints idols, or Jesus? See, that's the thing is that we have to in our research, say, like, for example, with all due respect to all of our brothers and sisters in Christianity, the fact is, is that if you look at the history of Christianity or Judaism or Buddhism or Hinduism, you will see the development of major dogmatic beliefs over time, and human beings establishing how we should finally you know, like, for example, with all due respect, because I have many dear friends and family that

are Christian people, and they're very good people, no doubt about it. The question is, is what you believe

Sing your whole eternity on. Is that something that stands up to the test of objective research and analysis? Did Jesus Christ say worship Me, I came to die for your sins, did he? So that's a question that people need to ask themselves. Well, when you read the Bible, he's worshiping God Himself. He fell on his face and prayed. He went and fasted for 40 days. Why is God fasting if he's God, and so forth, right? So he's praying to God, he's fasting for the sake of God. He's telling everybody, I have no ability or powers of my own, only God is supporting me and giving me this, this support. So they say that in the Bible, that when Jesus knew that these Greeks and the Jewish rabbis are coming

after him, that he went and prayed, and he said, Oh, Lord, pass this cup before me. All the commentators say this means don't let these people give me Well, if he understood because obviously, he's God or Son of God, he would know his purpose. I mean, obviously wouldn't be in the dark as to his purpose in life. He should know, he is saying, don't let these people come kill me, meaning I don't want to be killed. But if the big hitter comes, when he says a certain prayer, once when he's on the cross, it is they have narrated that he said, Oh, Lord, why have you forsaken me? So as he his whole purpose is to die for the sins of man. That's what he wants to do out of his own free

will, because that's his gift to the world to die for their sins. Why is he saying, oh, Lord, if he's the Lord, why, who is he talking to? So these are these are concoctions by human beings, God never taught or the messages never brought such ideas. What you're saying they were reading the Scripture, we see some some contradictory things. So that dogma, where did it come from? It came in a place called nicea in Turkey, three centuries after Jesus. Clearly people got confused and so forth. And then some powerplay from the new Byzantium Empire with the new Greek ruler, Constantine, who embraced Christianity. He wanted to impose what what they've understood over there against what

many, if you will just look about the story, the history of the Knights, and the Knights are historical people that lived in the Palestine region, Jerusalem, Nazareth, Bethlehem, and in the surrounding areas of Syria and Jordan. And they have always believed that Jesus was a prophet, and that he was just the Messiah, who was a special gift sent to purify the children of Israel, from their corruption and so forth. Those people were killed whenever it was established, that you have to believe Jesus is God's Son of God, Trinity died for your sins. This is the belief we all must accept. Millions of people got killed, that didn't want to accept that, that we're saying I still

believe in Jesus. So political power plays a status so we're being emotionally attached to something if we look at its history, really, it's it's it's, it's, it's it's not just this love of somebody who died for your sins. It was a forcing of a political agenda upon establishing this belief on people. We are out of time. Tell us now I meant I apologize. The time is so short. And these episodes go by so quick. So tell us now just in the last minute that we have you said the original has been preserved, tamper free, tamper proof will Mahalo to Gina Windsor, ilaria, Boone, you defined it? I have not. Go ahead, take it from here. You will? What does that mean? We were created

to serve God to worship God, what does that mean? In the last minute, we were created with a very beautiful blessing that is intellectual, creative, spiritual awareness. So we are aware of right and wrong. And we're aware of all these realities around us and how to deal with them. So what we should do is use our brains and our hearts, to seek God to come to know him to have a relationship with Him. And we must use those two tools. And when somebody comes and says, okay, the main thing about God is this. And then you say, Well, that doesn't make sense. You're saying that God in the one thing, that he's blessed you with intellectual ability, he chose to make his reality, something that

is not even graspable? Of course, God is great and and unimaginable and beyond our thought, but he's one and he's a creator that's loving and compassionate. And he's not many he's not. You know, there's no doubt about him and his nature amongst amongst the believers, it should not be so we look to Revelation for those answers. Last closing comments and suggestions. I usually talk to people I say, Have you ever asked for guidance? Many people again, get bewildered, stunned, shocked, like no. So should that be a start after the show that they asked and won't if they ask God Almighty will facilitate a way

that you know, that is the whole purpose.

of life to search for the truth as God asked God to pray guide me, what's my purpose? Today pray to Mohammed or Jesus, the son of the moon, who you're talking to anything other than the Creator, just the Creator. That's so how can they say if they don't want to say a law, for instance? Or what can they say, Oh, the one who created me, give me some What do you pray to whatever you know, Allah is an Arabic word that means the God, the worshipped entity, we have God we have Dios, we have coda, we have many words, as long as you don't put a mental picture, as long as you know, that's the creator of the universe. And he is above and beyond anything that your little human mind, can can grasp. But

his nature is very clear. He's one, he is the

transcendental permeating force of control and power and lordship over this universe, once we recognize that and we serve that that is what Jesus was worshiping. That is what he was teaching. That was his message, Moses, Abraham, Noah, all the same thing, all the same message of the same reality. If people want to get ahold of you, you have a website or you have a Yeah, well I mean, I have I don't have my own website Okay, we'll have we'll have some setup your biography on the Dean show.com where we can add that there we got to go thank you very much May God Almighty the creator reward you for being with us and helping to explain purpose and purpose of life Thank you. And that

was it purpose reflect Think about it, you live you die in between a lot of drama and it's a test of life pass the test of life, and God Almighty has the ultimate reward is more commodious than any flat Villa luxury palace is Jenna paradise. And you gotta work hard for it, plant seeds of goodness, because good breeds good. And when you do good, you feel good. And it's all built on that pure monotheism. So ask the creator for guidance, and then you shall receive but if you don't ask how you're going to receive, and you give us a call one 800 662 Islam, to pick up the verbatim Word of God the Quran or to ask any questions that you have even criticism, give us a call, give us a call.

Don't forget to also pick up the new dinya to Dean, we'll see you next time God Willing Peace be with you know your Creator. How can you serve someone you don't know? Like, if you were walking down the street, imagine you're walking down the street and some person just walks up to you out of nowhere and says, Hey, can you do this and that for me? Now, of course, as a person, a very strong faith in mercy, compassion and generosity, you're going to try to do what you can to help them. But most people are on that level, what are you what are you talking about? Right? But if they're close friend, or their mother or their father, their brother, their sister came to them and ask them, can

you do this for me, they have this knowledge of that person, they have this closeness, they have this awareness of them in this close, intimate way, and it makes them feel much more obligated to want to serve them and their request. So similarly, is the case, if you know God, and you've come to know Him through an authentic revelation that has its proves, you know, the core and is different from the previous scripture in that obviously, there is no contradiction in it. There is no verse that says this. And then a later verses says, No, that's not the case. This is, and there's a very compatible reality between modern science and, and the verses that talk about the reality of

creation in the Quran. So there's so much about the life of the Prophet Mohammed Ali. And it was revealed to him that an objective researcher when they look into it, and we find so many people we find many great scientists.

People have intellect. People have, you know, what was it the other day, Tony Blair's sister in law which embraced Islam, she he was the Prime Minister of England, Islam is, is being embraced by people who have this desire to seek knowledge and try to know the truth, not just people who are looking for a philosophical way, found the respect to other religions, most people that convert to Buddhism or Hinduism or something, you know, they're just looking for some philosophical, Self Help system of life or whatever. They're in some mystical journey. But whereas Islam, you usually find those that come to Islam, they're really seeking the knowledge. They're really wanting to know who

is God so that I can really serve him. I feel like I can't serve them whenever I look at the Scripture, and it doesn't make sense. ambiguous. Yeah. slumbers clear. Yeah, we're gonna be right back with more lucid clear explanations of what the creator wants from us what the purpose is here on the deen show. Okay, you've got your dream home and you've got your dream car, but you're gonna get old and things gonna happen to you in your life. And then what have you got at the end of the day, it's an empty dream that has no real foundation. We are going to die and we're going to meet our Lord and He is going to judge us. It becomes an obligation for each single human being

To find out what the plan is, Islam is telling us to stay away from things which are bad for your person and bad for the society.

Back here on the D show with the mom, Yahya, you came from a Catholic background, born, bred and raised in America. You were searching for purpose of life. You went from Catholicism to born again, Christian. And then you stumbled upon Islam. And you were using your mind you were taking an analytical scientific approach. That's the way to go. That's the way we got to go. So you weren't looking to be an Arab. You weren't looking to get you know, into some freak show or something. You were looking for the truth? Yeah. And you found it. Is that right? Yes. you've memorized this book, The verbatim Word of God the Quran is one of the miracles that are tangible that people can

investigate, look at, to see the scientific proofs that you mentioned, prophecies, Authenticity, it's all in this Quran is. Now my next question is the person lived 30 years serving their boss, they just got fired. Now we got their attention, they might get another job, they might start becoming a slave to somebody else. Right. Now,

the person who just broke up with Susie, Mikey, and they're listening to the country music, and they're getting some solids, because that's how the country music sounds my lost my house. But now why is it so important that you really take the matter seriously, and you don't just drift off again, and you start going like a dog chasing his tail, you know, you go around life in circles, now you just get another relationship. And then you live for the weekends. And then you take her out, you take, you know, let him take you out. And then again, you're just you know, living according to your lesson, desires accumulating wealth, and then again, it's the same thing, then you die. And you

didn't live your true purpose in life, the way the creator wanted you to live. Why is this so important? While we have their intention, they were flickering through and they tuned into the deen show, or a friend said, you got to watch this show. They talk about reality truth. Why is it so important? You see, brother, when we look at people's lives, and we look at the purpose of life, we see that people are engulfed in a material that a lot of people they have the spiritual and the reality of what might happen after I die, it seems far away. And it makes sense because even in the Arabic he calls the afterlife, and what we're facing eventually is accurate, which means far, right?

doing here means worldly means close, do something close to something you can touch. So really what a person needs to weigh out is human beings are obviously not animals, like others, we obviously are superior to monkeys, and we obviously aren't monkeys, and we clicked when we look at this studio, were sitting in, find me bring try to do whatever you can with any chimpanzee, and develop some sort of ability to do what we're doing right now at least have a conversation in the first place. So we are clearly different and special. So somebody needs to think about, why am I different? Why do I have these abilities that no, no other creature? Has the abilities that we have? And then they need

to look at creation itself is creationism haphazard thing that just popped up out of nowhere? Or is it a bunch of very systematic structured

systems that are functioning all around the fact of how our how our body digests food and how the brain works and how the blood is distributing nutrients and getting rid of waste and all of the different things that are happening right now, the way our eyes are taking that light, bouncing it making everything, how all of that is so very deep and complex. The first thing we need to come to is, how did it get so complex and clearly, creatively designed, not haphazardly blown up. And luckily, everything on planet earth just became very structured for all this life and all of this intelligence and so forth. So when we look at that, then we look at the history of the world. What

is about God? What is the most clear part of history, it's called Prophethood. prophets came with miracles throughout history. They did things that blew everybody's mind, and cause them all to become devout believers in what those prophets were teach them what those prophets taught.

Even in our modern world, you know, you have this argument right now, should we have the 10 commandments in the court or not? Of course, we should have them in there. Well, they're saying, well, because that's religion. Well, the whole society's laws are built on religions laws that came out a long time ago. And so then what's interesting is those same people, if you

Go in this argument with them that are struggling with God and all of this, they will admit that they think that humans made these commandments and that therefore our benefit, right? So the fact is that they are not made by humans, because they come from these prophets who did these miracles who represent God's message to mankind. And they came, and they established this law, and we're all living, don't steal, don't kill. It's not. Of course, now society wants to follow us desire. So people are fornicating. But deep down, if you ask somebody, if your wife is with someone else, if your mom slept with someone else beside your father, is that okay with you? They will say, No, they

know that that's wrong, right? So we have a society that has all of the right in front of their eyes. The question is, are we going to seek for the deeper purpose? Or are we just going to try to be like other animals? Clearly, we're not like them. So we need to actualize? Where's the truth about all this intelligent design that we live amongst? What is the truth about what we're doing here on on earth? The fact is, this revelation has said over and over, some people bring the argument, they say, Well, if you say there's a God, well, then why is there you know, earthquakes and disasters and people born with diseases? Yes, yeah. Well, the fact is no religion, no people

that are attaching themselves to Prophethood in some way, whether it be a perfect message that was purified and preserved as Islam is a proven fact to be, or as other ones, which they even admit amongst their scholarship, that there's been some human interest in writing and developing of dogmas and ideas, all of them are in agreement, that life is a test. And that life is not perfect in life is not Heaven, we are not living in paradise. So we should not expect there to be a paradise, we're living in a test to prove are we attached to the Creator, is our ultimate devotion to the Creator. And in recognizing that I am grateful to be created, I am loyal to the one that gave me my life. I

want to spread the good that he did in giving me my life. He gave me my life, that's very good. He gave me the ability to hear and to see. And all of the fruits and vegetables and oxygen that I breathe, are just facilitated for me, in the world around me. It's so much of a blessing that he has surrounded around me. So am I going to be grateful? Am I going to yearn and seek a relationship with that creator, through an objective research, looking in my heart, looking in scriptures, looking at history of Scripture, being objective, removing myself from the idea that my culture and my family and our society's beliefs and the way we must just were not on the Day of Judgment going to be

judged by our passport, nationality, according to be judged. And I'm talking to Muslims, too. There's Muslims that think they should be Muslim because that parents are Muslim, that does not make Islam the right word. Faith is the religion that you choose should be based upon proofs and evidences, proofs and evidence within the Scripture, the text, the one who brought it, what it teaches, in your heart, what's right and wrong, what makes sense. When you put all that together, then you should submit your will, to what you know is going to affect you after you die, because

at least within the Judeo Christian, we do believe that God will judge people, because we're responsible for our lives. And so we have a responsibility over doing the right thing. And when we do it, you know, there's so many people out there that did evil bro. They did murder, corruption, stealing, cheating, and never where they accounted for any of that. They just went through the life doing all that, should they just go straight to heaven? Where with all the people who lead a good decent life and kindness and love and compassion towards others? Or should they be accounted for what should they be purified from what they knew they were doing wrong, and they did not get

accounted in this life. Similarly, there's people that went out there and spread goodness and kindness and acts of greatness to people yet they were never given any such reward for that. We as people who believe in rewards, we give out Nobel prizes, and then we have jails. So this is we all live what's been built in the system of, of recognizing good and and embracing that and, and encouraging that and then rebuking and punishing evil and bad and corruption. So that's something built into us. It is clearly part of a bigger design of being either God's people who are people of goodness of compassion, of mercy, of a discipline that says, You know what, I'm a creative person

like the creator and I'm seeking to follow in his life of goodness and spreading the well being for creation. Okay, and I'm not a person of destructive evil corruptive ways, which is opposite

antithesis to a god. When I take another break and we're back with more on the purpose, purpose of life here in the deen show, you think these things are gonna bring you happiness. You know why you keep going back to the club, and you keep getting going back to these desires.

Because you never find satisfaction.

It's gonna end up causing you if it hasn't already a lot of pain.

Think you're happy? You're kidding yourself kidding is really

what we are offering in Islam. What we have found in Islam for ourselves is a means by which our hearts are at peace. They're ready rest. They're not discontent, we are pleased with what we have.

Back here on a D show, we're talking about purpose isn't meant for the purpose of life to be something nebulous that now everyone has their opinion, you ask someone and so unclear, and the person gets bewildered. And they're like, either a Why are you asking me? b? I never thought about it. See all well, it's to get a big House on the Prairie. raise a family is to be good to people. The other one's saying this, the other one saying that it's like multiple choice, no one really can answer lucidly like you did. And we're going to close out, we're almost out of time with what the Creator is saying. But is it meant to be something that's nebulous? unclear, it's like, that's vague

us. We're going back to the fact of history. This is a fact of history. This is you know, some people want to say, Moses and what he did Jesus and what he did, Mohammed and why that's all he just wrote down their history. Okay, the same people want to believe in Alexander the Great and Stalin and all of those that are taking someone as role models. Yeah, yeah, there are at least they're believing in some part of the major impacting history, whenever it suits whatever they've decided to believe for whatever worldly desires and interests that they have. So the fact is, Prophethood is a historical reality. Gods and prophets, Providence did miracles, not like magic tricks, but like,

sees partying, blind and lepers being healed by touch, Moon splitting, did they come with different religions or one one way of life, same message. The problem is, did any of them call people to worship themselves saints idols, or Jesus? See, that's the thing is that we have to, in our research, say, like, for example, it's all due respect to all of our brothers and sisters in Christianity. The fact is, is that if you look at the history of Christianity, or Judaism, or Buddhism, or Hinduism, you will see the development of major dogmatic beliefs over time, and human beings establishing how we should finally you know, like, for example, with all due respect, because

I have many dear friends and family that are Christian people, and they're very good people, no doubt about it. The question is, is what you're basing your whole eternity on? Is that something that stands up to the test of objective research and analysis? Did Jesus Christ say worship Me, I came to die for your sins. Very. So that's a question that people need to ask themselves. Well, when you read the Bible, he's worshiping God Himself. He fell on his face and prayed. He went and fasted for 40 days. Why is God fasting if he's got, and so forth, right? So he's praying to God, he's fasting for the sake of God. He's telling everybody, I have no ability or powers of my own, only God

is supporting me and giving me this, this support. So they say that in the Bible, that when Jesus knew that these Greeks and the Jewish rabbis are coming after him, that he went and prayed, and he said, Oh, Lord passed this cup before me. All the commentators say this means don't let these people give me Well, if he understood because obviously, he's God or Son of God, he would know his purpose. I mean, obviously wouldn't be in the dark as to his purpose in life. He should know, he is saying, don't let these people come and kill me, meaning I don't want to be killed. Well, if the big hitter comes, when he says a certain prayer, once when he's on the cross, it is they have narrated that he

said, Oh, Lord, why have you forsaken me? So as he his whole purpose is to die for the sins of man. That's what he wants to do out of his own free will, because that's his gift to the world to die for their sins. Why is he saying, oh, Lord, if he's the Lord, why, who is he talking to? So these are these are concoctions by human beings, God never taught or the messengers never brought such ideas. What you're saying they did this when we're reading the Scripture, we see some some contradictory things. So that dogma, where did it come from? It came in a place called nicea in Turkey, three centuries after Jesus. Clearly people got confused and so forth. And then some power play from the

new Byzantium Empire.

With the new Greek ruler, Constantine who embraced Christianity, he wanted to impose what what they've understood over there against what many, if you will just look about the story, the history of the Knights, and the Knights are historical people that lived in the Palestine region, Jerusalem, nazzer, Bethlehem, and in the surrounding areas of Syria and Jordan, and they are always believed that Jesus was a prophet, and that he was just the Messiah, who was a special gift sent to purify the children of Israel, from their corruption and so forth. Those people were killed whenever it was established that you have to believe Jesus is God's Son of God, Trinity died for your sins. This is

the belief we've all must accept. Millions of people got killed, that didn't want to accept that, that we're saying I still believe in Jesus. So political power plays established so we're being emotionally attached to something if we look at its history, really it's it's it's it's, it's it's not just this love of somebody who died for your sins. It was a forcing of a political agenda upon establishing this belief on people. We are out of time. Tell us now I meant I apologize. The time is so short. And these episodes go by so quick. So tell us now just in the last minute that we have you said the original has been preserved, tamper free, tamper proof will Mahalo to Gina Windsor, ilaria,

Boone, you defined it? I have not. Go ahead, take it from here. You will? What does that mean? We were created to serve God to worship God, what does that mean? In the last minute, we were created with a very beautiful blessing that is intellectual, creative, spiritual awareness. So we are aware of right and wrong. And we're aware of all these realities around us and how to deal with them. So what we should do is use our brains and our hearts, to seek God to come to know him to have a relationship with Him. And we must use those two tools. And when somebody comes and says, okay, the main thing about God is this. And then you say, Well, that doesn't make sense. You're saying that

God in the one thing, that he's blessed you with intellectual ability, he chose to make his reality, something that is not even graspable? Of course, God is great and and unimaginable and beyond our thought, but he's one and he's a creator that's loving and compassionate. And he's not many he's not. You know, there's no doubt about him and his nature, amongst amongst the believers, it should not be so we look to Revelation for those answers. Last closing comments and suggestions. I usually talk to people I say, Have you ever asked for guidance? Many people again, get bewildered, stunned, shocked? They're like, no. So should that be a start after the show that they ask and won't if they

ask God Almighty will facilitate a way

that, you know, that is the whole purpose of life to search for the truth, as God asked God to pray guide me, what's my purpose? Do they pray to Mohammed or Jesus, the son of the moon, who you're talking to anything other than the creator? Just the creator? That's so how can they say if they don't want to say Allah, for instance? Or what can they say, Oh, the one who created me, give me something, what do you pray to whatever you know, Allah is an Arabic word that means the God, the worshipped entity, we have God we have Dios, we have coda, we have many words, as long as you don't put a mental picture, as long as you know, that's the creator of the universe. And he is above and

beyond anything that your little human mind, can can grasp. But his nature is very clear. He's one, he is the

transcendental permeating force of control and power and lordship over this universe, once we recognize that and we serve that, that is what Jesus was worshiping. That is what he was teaching. That was his message, Moses, Abraham, Noah, all the same thing, all the same message of the same reality. If people want to get ahold of you, you have a website or you have a Yeah, well I mean, I have I don't have my own website. Okay, we'll have we'll have some setup your biography on the deen show.com maybe we can add that there we got to go Thank you very much. May God Almighty the creator rewards you for being with us and helping to explain purpose and purpose of life Thank you. And that

was it purpose reflect Think about it. You live you die in between a lot of drama and it's a test of life pass the test of life, and God Almighty has the ultimate reward is more commodious than any flat Villa luxury palace is Jenna paradise. And you gotta work hard for it. plant seeds of goodness, because good breeds good. And when you do good, you feel good. And it's all built on that pure monotheism. So ask the creator for guidance, and then you shall receive but if you don't ask how you're going to receive and you give us a call one 800 662 Islam to pick up the verbatim
