Metabolism and benefits of 30 days of fasting
in Ramadan. The Candace, she went to go
see Andrew Tate. And this is one of
the reasons why
I reverted to Islam because I feel like
the Islamic culture is the strongest. Jesus fasted
like Muslims do for Ramadan. Jesus is not
the real name. That's a fabricated name. You
know his name's not Jesus. Right? But that
beating every day in our heads that every
Muslim was a terrorist was the idea that
you got? I make jokes about it, but,
like, you know what? He's new obviously to
Islam.
I'm new to the religion. I'm only a
year in, and I'm studying as best I
can. Christianity is an invitation
from God. Islam, we would say is an
invitation to God. No. So Muslims are also
waiting for the second coming of Jesus. Let
me ask you a question. Yeah. Do you
not find that appealing?
Very. To that itself, Jesus will say, you
know what? I can connect with the mosque
and with the Muslims. We know there are
many benefits to the use of black seed
according to the authentic statements of the prophet
Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. That's
why I used the black seed by Tasneem,

Greetings of peace. How you guys doing? Welcome
to the Dean Show. Subscribe if you haven't
already. We're gonna be talking about what I
posted
on the x.
Earlier in the week,
Jesus fasted like Muslims do for Ramadan. As
you know, we're in Ramadan. Then I said,
Jesus was a Muslim.
So we had a lot of our Christian
friends
and some not so friendly people out there.
Some
low blows under the belt. Some, sincerely wanna
know how we're making this connection, so we're
gonna be talking about that.
We'll also touch upon some of the medical
benefits of fasting.
We'll also
touch upon Jesus' name. Is that really his
name amongst other things?
With my next guest, some call him a
Bible scholar. He's got a PhD in comparative
religion,
doctor Sabia Ahmed.
Peace be with you. Peace be with you
too. I like when I have you, in
the studio.
These connections,
some people
don't put them together.
You are able to put them together because
you got a PhD in this area,
in comparative religion.
So tell me
just from this point here, like, we connected
Ramadan to Jesus. Mhmm. How about his greeting
that we just did? Can we connect that
to Jesus? Peace be with you. Assalamu alaikum.
Some will be like people start going crazy
again, like, what a good day. Since you
said, you know, Jesus was a Muslim
and he practiced Ramadan,
not only that when he used to meet
his disciples,
his greeting was peace be upon you and
people may be thinking, really? Where is that
in the Bible? It is there in the
Bible.
In the New Testament, in the 4th gospel,
the Gospel of John, chapter 20 verse number
19
and verse number 21.
So it says in the Bible, Brother Eddie,
when Jesus went to the upper chamber,
He saw the disciples up there and the
very first thing He said to them was,
peace be upon you, in Hebrew language, obviously.
He didn't say, hey. What's up y'all?
He
said See, peace. That's the that's the best
greeting anyone can ever give to anyone. That's
our greeting. That's our greeting. Right? When 2
Muslims, when we meet each other, like when
I first came to you today,
what did I say? Hey, Eddie Mann. How
are you? Right? Mhmm. I say, assalamu alaikum,
brother. Eddie and hamza, how are you guys
doing?
So this is I wanna because this I
don't know why for some people it's very
sensitive. It's different if we were like, you
have certain people who are actually the anti
Christ. You know, they deny Christ.
They,
talk about disparaging things against his character, his
mother. And you'll hear
Zionist Christians all the time to, oh, they're
the apple of God's eye, apple of God's
eye, apple of God's eye. Listen to this,
this is from the Talmud
and this is where Jesus Christ our Lord
and savior
is being boiled in hot excrement
as a punishment
for mocking the words of the of the
rabbis. Who's named after the whole chapter is
named after him. So but when we say
Jesus and I've asked my Christian guests that
I've had on the show. I said, you
get offended when we say Jesus, peace be
upon, and they start smiling and laughing. Right?
So we're gonna try to make some connections
here, but it's not to offend or disrespect
Jesus in any way or
our Christian friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Do you
wanna say something about that?
Yeah. Yeah. Of course. When we are speaking
now today about the bible, about Jesus, peace
be upon him, about Moses and Abraham and
all the prophets, we are doing to educate
our fellow Americans and people of humanity.
We cannot ever disrespect Jesus because I would
not be a Muslim if I do that.
So we believe in him,
we respect him, we honor him, and we
take him to be as one of the
mightiest prophets that God has appointed
to bring humanity to the worship of 1
God.
I wanna get your reaction to this because
we're using his name,
but if you really dig a little bit,
that's not even his name, Jesus. Is that
right? Yeah. So in Arabic, yeah. So there's
a,
you know,
English wise version of that, I would say.
So the Arabic name that we name in
the Quran or Allah his name is the
name Isa. Mhmm. Let me get your reaction
to this.
Jesus is not the real name. That's a
fabricated name. You know his name is not
Jesus. Right? If you go back to where
Jesus was walking the earth and you walked
around and said, where's Jesus? Nobody would know
what you're talking about. Now this is the
sickness the Christian has. He wants to translate
the names of people. Most Christians don't even
know that Jesus spoke Aramaic. Now the language
is a Semitic language. The Semitic languages are
Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic. So Jesus is an
English translation
of a Latin translation, of a Greek translation,
of a Hebrew translation, of an Aramaic
name.
You know Jesus' name was not Jesus. I've
been talking the whole night. I keep on
saying Jesus Jesus, but that was not his
name. When he was born, his mother named
him Esau.
In Arabic Esa,
Hebrew Esau. Classical Hebrew Yeshua.
Then this is Jesus comes up. Muslims are
not claiming that Jesus is Zeus or anything
like that. What we are pointing out is
the amount of confusion that exists over this
matter.
All these theories and confusion over a simple
question
stems from the fact that the Bible is
not preserved at all, and there are many
instances in history
where it is evidential to have been tampered
with.
If the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,
walked on earth today,
we would be calling him with his exact
name as it was a 1,400 years ago.
What's your reaction to that? You know, many
of the Christians, they would not never know
that
that Jesus was not his real name. You
know, there are so many translations that happened,
the Hebrew to Greek to, you know, to
the Aramaic and then to English,
and then we think, you know, that is
the real name. But that person in the
video is 100% right. If you meet Jesus,
if you call Him Jesus, he would say,
who are you calling? That's not me. Mhmm.
Yeah. As simple as that. Yeah. But how
would you go ahead and explain
when we say that in my statement that
Jesus it's a 2 part statement
that Jesus
and over here I have Jesus is mentioned
25 times in the crown. Is that right?
Correct.
Yes. Yep. 25 times. And then we already
talked about his blessed mum mother.
There's a whole chapter in the Quran named
after her. The question is why would prophet
Muhammad
and if Muslims hate Jews also because that's
the temple now, that's the the propaganda that
the, hate machine
Zionists are trying to push. Why would he
praise
not his mother,
but praise Jesus,
a ethnic ethnic ethnically he's Jewish, and ethnically
his mother is Jewish. And we're not talking
about their religion. They were Muslims, and we'll
define that. Why would he do that?
He did that because
Quran is not coming from the mind of
prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. It is
coming from God, Allah and whatever Allah is
saying, Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, He
is sharing that with people.
Really important, the word Jesus
occurs 25 times in the Quran. The word,
Abraham occurs,
69 times in the Quran,
but the most mentioned prophet is Prophet Moses
peace be upon him. He is mentioned 136
times in the Quran. Mhmm. But the word
Muhammad peace be upon him, he is only
mentioned 4 times by the name Muhammad peace
be upon him and one time by the
name Ahmed.
This go ahead. So again the important point
that I usually share with my brothers and
sisters of humanity
is that if the Prophet was the one
author of the Quran, he would have placed
his name more than any other person. I
was just going to say that. Yeah. Yes.
Not only that,
Mary,
mother of Jesus, peace be upon her, is
the only lady mentioned by name in the
whole Quran.
Do you know how many times?
How many? About 34 times. 34 times Mary
is mentioned? She's mentioned 34 times,
and not the mother of Muhammad peace be
upon him, not his wife, not his daughter,
not his sister,
not any believing women of that time,
but a quote unquote Jewish lady who came
600 years before him. The prophet never saw
her, never met her, right? No interaction with
her. She is the one praised in the
Quran 34 times.
Not only that, chapter number 19
is named as chapter of Mary.
Mhmm. Not only that, in chapter number 3
of the Quran, verse number 42,
an angel came comes to Mary and the
angel is saying, you know, O Mary, God
has chosen you, God has purified you, and
God has chosen you above all the women.
That distinction is not given to the mother
of Muhammad peace be upon him nor his
wife or his daughter. So again, an important
point for my Christian brothers and sisters and
also Jews and other people
is that if the Quran was coming from
the mind of the prophet peace be upon
him, he would have praised himself more than
anyone else.
His name would have been the most than
any other prophet. His mother would have been
praised the most, but instead of that a
Jewish lady, ethnically Jewish, right? By faith obviously
she is Muslim.
She is the one mentioned most in the
Quran or the only lady. So that's an
indication Quran is not coming from the mind
of Muhammad, peace be upon him. It is
coming from the creator, and the prophet is
only sharing what he was receiving.
So before we get into Jesus fasted like
Muslims do for Ramadan, Jesus was a Muslim,
giving the evidences and proof how we
make
how we can make that statement. You agree
with that statement? Yes. That the statement that
you have on, Facebook or Meta is 100%
right. Jesus fascinated. Elon or x too. Yeah.
This one's x. Yeah. We had it on
Facebook also. Before we get to that, I
wanna get you because
you got so many people out there
who are still programmed
like this next person. This is a conservative
Christian,
and for a long time, she was actually
bringing on because of
the company
or the group of people she was involved
with. But we see a shift now, this
happening. And I wanna commend her. Mhmm. I
don't know if you've heard of Candace Owens?
Yeah. Yeah. Of course. So, Candace Owens, we
commend you. She came out recently.
She was on this, George podcast,
and I wanna get your, reaction to some
of the things that she had to say.
And
hopefully, we'll this will kind of diffuse some
of the haters
who also, because of
mention the programming out there, they kinda fell
on the bandwagon
fell in the bandwagon of of of hate
from the hate industry. As a bank, really,
for these wars is because Americans don't know
anything. We know very after 911, I think
about it now. The propaganda to make me
afraid of Muslims. I can't even imagine being
a Muslim growing up after 911 in America
because I know how I felt about them.
I was I was young. I was 11
years old, but that beating every day in
our heads that every Muslim was a terrorist
was the idea that you got. I make
jokes about it, but, like, you don't understand.
Like, I had to shave my face to
go to airports. My mom would make me
shave my face. Like, at school, like, I
was so young. This is actually fun. I
had a a mustache in, like, the 4th
grade, and my mom made me narrate. Because
she was, like, you gotta, like because it
was really, really bad. Because whatever you're like,
the household would say the kids have no
filter, so they would just say whatever they
wanted to me. But at a young age,
I realized
that I myself as a Middle Eastern was
racist too. I was like, oh, it's not
us. It's them. And so I would point
my finger out of fear, but no. No.
They did it. But then I went to,
what country did I just go to? Sorry.
I went to Saudi Arabia, and I don't
think I've ever been to a country that
was more hospitable to me. The the love
that I got, the respect that I got,
I literally sat back, and I hung myself
out to dry on a podcast. I go,
wow. I was brainwashed. I was so scared.
I didn't bring her. Yeah. Yeah. Same. And
and so first, I wanna say just, like,
to all Muslims growing up during my time
in America, I am sorry on behalf of
America Yeah. I'm sorry. For the way that
you were treated. That it is so unacceptable.
When I go back and I re examine
that propaganda, that brainwashing that
you know, he who controls the textbooks controls
the entire country in my view. Right? It
was because everything that we did responding to
911 should be assessed as whether or not
they were crimes against humanity. We bombed a
1000000 Iraqi civilians. We killed a 1000000 Iraqi
civilians. We killed a 1000000 Iraqi civilians. Like,
what were you doing in Iraq? Saudis were
on their plate. They just said, there's weapons
of mass destruction, and then they never found
them. But they in the process, they killed
a 1000000 Iraqi civilians. Right? And we it
made us think it's okay to just keep
bombing Muslims. That that was the purpose to
me of that educational propaganda I'm bringing up.
I I wanna commend Candace Owens. I mean,
really, I'd love to have you on the
show, Candace. We can talk more about it.
What is your reaction? You know, I really
like her honesty,
her sincerity,
and, she's open to be educated.
And she's not, like, blindly believing just like
some people are. She's doing the research and
now she's evaluating both sides and the statement
she's making is coming from her sincere,
you know, research.
So I would say that every single American,
every single human,
we should also do the research and not
just be bias and hate and discrimination
based upon what we have learned through the
media, through the textbooks.
You know, I was in her situation when
I was in India. I used to have
a really negative view about America, Americans based
on the movies I was watching and the
media I was being, seeing up there. But
coming over here to the US with my
parents when I was young, I was a
bit fearful. But when I met my classmates,
my neighbors, right, my contacts,
I realized that, you know, there are good
apples, there are bad apples.
We cannot paint the whole faith, the whole
race, the whole, you know, followers.
So it's important for our non Muslim friends
to meet your Muslim neighbors, to interact with
them. Go to the mosque, read, read the
Quran, find out what is the truth. And
the reality
is 100% different than what the media is
showing. Mhmm. Islam is not a threat. It's
a blessing for humanity.
And the the host of this program, very,
interesting gentleman, he likes to talk about God.
I love to talk about God.
You like to talk about God. I'd like
to invite George also to come talk with
us, and I think these conversations are important
for us to sit together and talk.
And we're seeing this now that like Candace,
she went to go see Andrew Tate.
She flew down to Romania. And this is
one of the reasons why
I reverted to Islam because I feel like
the Islamic culture is the strongest.
You feel the culture. I was wondering if
you were Christian. And,
you know, I definitely do not know enough
about the Islamic faith to sit here and
debate you on it. I'm I'm never a
person that will debate somebody on something that
I'm not an expertise on. Yeah. He did
also. He went to go see our brother
Andrew Tate. They went to go visit him.
Islamic people were like, you're not talking about
a prophet like that. So I I find
that very beautiful. And I understand that they
hold their values. But let me ask you
a question. Yeah. Do you not find that
appealing?
Very.
And, he also confidently
expressed that he's Muslim
and he's new obviously to Islam. I am
not an Islamic
scholar, and I don't consider myself knowledgeable on
Islam. I'm new to the religion. I'm only
a year in, and I'm studying as best
I can, but there's a lot of people
who know more than me. So now
we'd like to invite I'd like to invite
both of them. They can come sit, talk
with us,
and I think the next step is to
explore really what Muslims are about. What's the
main message of Islam? How how would you
how would you summarize to get someone more
interested to look into Islam?
In one minute, what would you say what
what what is Islam?
Islam is,
knowing the fact that there is a creator
and then knowing that what is the right
concept of the creator. Is the creator 1
trinity or multiple, you know, entities? So the
creator is 1. For the for love of
humanity,
God did not came down to become a
human. He appointed messengers and prophets.
You know, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Ishmael, Isaac,
Jesus, Muhammad
gave them the messages so they shared them
with the people,
to the humans that, you know, do not
worship humans and idols in the creation. Only
submit to 1 God. That was the message
God gave to all the prophets, all the
messengers.
So that submission to 1 God in Arabic
is Islam.
So then God sent many books in the
past. They have been changed and the only
book now today
that we can say God is protecting, this
is the guidance for humanity, it has solution
for humanity's problems.
And lastly, one day we all have to
die and then we will be facing God
on the day of resurrection, day of judgement.
There would be only 2 options paradise or
hellfire.
So, if we do the if we have
the right belief worshipping only 1 God
and doing the deeds that God wants us
to do,
that's the way that God with His mercy
will induct those people into Paradise.
So in a nutshell, that's what Islam is
believing and worshiping God, believing in the messengers
and the scriptures
and then the day of judgement.
So by living,
what God has mentioned to us,
I hope and pray, may Allah's mercy we
all go into paradise.
I wanna go and play another clip with,
with George. I wanna get
your reaction to the host who
was also agreeing with Candace.
That's deep. I mean, she's basically apologizing on
behalf of America.
Mhmm. And how many Americans were I'm not
gonna get into, you know, there was 3
buildings, building 6, that's a whole different topic.
But you know when I say building 6,
what I'm referring to? Yeah. Yeah. Of course.
Yeah. Nothing touched it, fell. We won't get
into that. That's a a different discussion, but
people can, do their own research.
Anyways,
but for her to come out and how
many how many people jumped on the bandwagon
of hate. But if you really how many
people have you've spoken to, I mean, over
your lifetime, how many Christians
and not yet Muslims you've spoken to, and
then when they've come into the open houses,
and then when you explain
what Islam really is,
how much resistance versus people saying,
wow, that actually makes sense, agreeing with you.
And you actually had people like non Muslims
give you checks. Remember a story saying, you
know, get this message out there and here's
my support.
Is that correct? Many, many times. Yeah. In
the open houses, people love the message of
Islam and they put their hands in the
pocket, took out
Here is the money, go and propagate.
Even on the plane, a Jewish lady was
sitting next to me. I remember that. Yeah.
When I mentioned, okay, you know what, We
are building this wonderful mosque. It is going
to help, you know, the neighborhood,
better the neighborhood.
She put her hand in the, purse,
took took out a checkbook,
wrote the check. For you guys, for your
mosque, you guys are doing good work. That
was for the Dean Center. Right? For the
Dean Center. When you were coming, we had
the event and you sent me that and
you showed me that that check. Even interesting,
so some people are seeing behind me the
name Jesus here. Look at this. And the
Dean Center is the Megadawah Center.
I'm doctor Rania Awad, and I'm so excited
to be here at the Dean Center which
is under renovation.
And I can't wait to see what's going
to come. There's going to be a Dawah
Center. There's a Masjid. There's a school, an
Islamic school, a gym, and what we hope,
inshallah, will also have a mental health part
of this center as well, inshallah.
So I'm asking you to please make sure
that you support this effort. I
really hope that it spreads and really the
knowledge of Islam and people get to know
more about Muslims and Islam through this
effort. But we're trying to we're trying to
come up with a name.
You actually
advise,
cause you're part of my shura,
is that we should this was your idea
to call it what should we call it?
So you have the Masjid of the Deen
Center, but to call the Masjid by what
name? You actually Jesus Islamic Center. Uh-huh. House
of monotheism.
So I would say this is really important
because, for us Muslims,
Jesus and Islam, they go together because we
say that Jesus was a Muslim because he
used to submit to one God.
If he submitted to 1 God, that means
his faith was Islam.
That means submission to God alone, not to
worship humans of the creation.
And the word house of monotheism
because every prophet was a monotheistic believer,
none of them, they were Trinitarians.
Mhmm. So for that reason, we want to
show to our fellow Americans
that the Jesus Islamic Center
is the place that if Jesus came back,
example, right, in his second coming to Florida,
where would he go? Right? Yes.
So,
I want people when they see that let's,
when they see this, over here on the
screen
and they see Jesus
Islamic Center. We love Jesus so much we're
we're naming the mosque, the Masjid
after Jesus.
And then people are like, what is that?
Jesus Islamic Center. And then, obviously, when people
ask, what's the tagline? It's the house of
monotheism because Islam is about
pure absolute
monotheism,
not worshiping anything in creation but the creator.
So I think this is powerful and I
wanna get, since we're on this, I wanna
see if, we can get some people out
there, if they can if there's some designers,
maybe they can come up with a a
nice design, send that over to us,
and possibly we can use that. So if
any good designers
go ahead and that's the,
the name, Jesus Islamic Center House of Monotheism,
the tagline. Let's see if you guys can
get that over to us and let's get
into this clip here.
There's 3 types of man in my eyes.
My eyes.
Christianity
is an invitation
from God. Okay. And a man could look
at it and go, yes.
I wanna be a part of this. I
absolutely wanna be a part of this. And
then there's another man that goes, no. Absolutely
not. We're saying Islam, submission to the will
of God. That's what Islam is. Peace
acquired. So you got the root words in
there. You got peace with, sincerity, obedience,
submission.
So you put all that together,
peace acquired by sincerely
submitting, surrendering your will to God's will. That's
literally what Islam is. So that we would
say is an invitation to God.
So now
how do we reconcile? How do we when
George and hopefully we get him on the
show and we can discuss this. Mhmm. He
loves talking about God. We do also. How
would you react to that? Let me see
this sign over here.
Alright. So when I saw George, when he
held the sign that says Christianity,
right, an invitation to God. Right away, brother
Eddie,
the word Christianity is not there in the
Bible.
So, I am thinking, you know, who made
up this name? Where did this name came
from? The name is not given by God
of the Bible, the word Christianity I am
saying,
right? It is not given by Jesus, Jesus
did not say in a word, my followers,
all of you, now you follow the faith
of Christianity. He never said that.
The Christianity is not there in the Bible.
The disciples did not name the faith as
Christianity.
Even Paul did not name the faith as
Christianity by the way. It is not there
in the Bible.
The word Christianity or the word Christian,
it was
labeled, it was given to the Christians or
the followers of Christ by idol worshippers.
So now, you know, there are 2,200,000,000
Christians who say, you know what, we are
Christians, but where did your name came from?
God did not give that you guys are
now Christians. Jesus did not say you are
Christians.
Paul did not say you are Christians.
See what happened was some followers of Christ,
they went to the city of Antioch
to preach. As they were going to the
city of Antioch, they were by the gate
of the city of Antioch in Turkey.
Idol worshipers from inside
the city, they looked at the followers of
Christ and they said
here comes the Christians.
So, that's how the very first time the
word Christians was given to the followers of
Christ.
So people may be thinking, okay, Sabir, what
is the evidence? Are you making things up?
No, the evidence is it's in the Bible
in the New Testament.
In the 5th book, the book of Acts,
chapter 11 verse number 26.
But the word Islam, it is given by
God. It is in the Quran many, many
places like Surah 5 verse number 3 and
many places
and the word Islam, it means submission to
the Creator.
Every prophet, they used to submit to the
Creator.
So a quick one sentence, you know, my
response to what George has mentioned is, see
Christianity is a faith around the person of
Jesus.
Islam
is the faith
followed by Jesus. Say that again.
Christianity
is a faith
around made around the person of Jesus. Revolving
around Jesus. Yes. Islam is the faith
practiced by Jesus. Yeah. Because you asked what
is what is the faith of Jesus? What's
his faith? Submission to one God. He was
a monotheistic believer. He was not a Trinitarian.
With all due respect, you can't say his
faith was Christianity.
You can't say that because
Christianity means it is revolving around a person,
Christ, a human. Mhmm. But Islam revolves around
the creator, submission to the creator. So not
only Jesus, brother Eddie, every single prophet that
followed yeah. Moses and Abraham,
Ishmael and Isaac and David and Solomon, peace
be on them.
All of them, they were monotheistic believers. They
submitted to one god. That means submission to
one god in Arabic is Islam. So that
was the faith. I want people to,
not reject or shut off their mind or
their
natural inclination to do. We keep saying one
God, worshiping one God. I want people to
reflect to it. How many times we've said
God, one, alone to be worshiped? That's deep
right there. It's not talking about worshiping Mohammed
or the sun or the moon or some
kind of pagan god or whatnot, just the
one god. In in Aramaic, Jesus would say
Allah. Right? That's another thing we we can
cover. Right? He didn't say God.
He would say in Aramaic Allah because he
spoke in a Semitic language, Aramaic,
and that's sister language to Arabic. He said
Allah. Right? Yeah. According to Encyclopedia Britannica,
Jesus' native tongue is Aramaic language.
In that language,
the word for God is Allah or Illah.
So when he used to pray to God,
he used to refer to God as Allah
or Allah. That's deep. That's really deep in
your brain. Our Christian friends may be thinking,
Jesus prayed to God, come on, Sabeel. Are
you making up things?
What do you think? 2639.
Right?
The first gospel of the New Testament, verse
number 26,
chapter 26 verse number 39. When the people
were coming after him, you know, to harm
him and to kill him, he went to
the garden of
Gethsemane. Yeah. Gethsemane.
Yeah. Over there,
he prostrated himself on the ground like Muslims
do, right? Yeah. He prostrated himself on the
ground and he sincerely said, you know, oh
God, take this cup of death away from
me. Not my will but your will. That's
Islam right there. Some people say how
is Islam connected and we had a lot
of comments in there like, you know, Islam,
what does it have to do? It's not
mentioned in the Bible.
Right here, Islam is mentioned in the Bible
if you define it.
What did you just said? Submitting himself to
the will of Allah. Not my will, but
your will. That's Islam. Yes.
That is Islam. Since that's the definition of
a Muslim,
there's a definite you're submitting to the creator,
not to your own shortcomings, your emotions, your
culture, and your, you know, like, it's you're
submitting to the creator.
That in definition is Islam, and Jesus was
doing that. I make this example often, and
I heard that now if you because they
they people get stuck on the word Muslim
Muslim, but I'm talking about the concept. What
does
Muslim mean? What does Islam mean? Just like
a human. Jesus didn't hear this word human,
but he was he's a human. He's a
human by definition. Mhmm. He's actually a Muslim
by definition. Correct? Of course. Of course. This
is very deep. So we haven't even gotten
to Ramadan.
We opened up with the greeting that Jesus
gave,
how he fell on his face according to
the bible,
how he and we there's a ton of
verses. Heroes were the lord thy god is
1. When people came to him and said,
oh, good master, what good thing can I
do to him and have eternal life? He
said,
only God is good. Why are you calling
me good? Right? And there's Gospel of Mark,
2nd gospel, chapter 12, verse number 29, just
for the sake of completeness,
a person came to Jesus and asked him
the most fundamental question, the best question anyone
can ever ask to any prophet
that what is the best commandment, the biggest,
the greatest of all the commandments and the
Jewish people used to have brother Eddie 613
commandments in the old testament.
And this person he wants to know of
all of them which one is the first,
the greatest and Jesus, peace be upon him,
as a prophet of God.
Right? As a prophet of God, Jesus said,
'Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is
1.
Love Him, right? Not love Me, worship Me.
Love Him with all your heart, mind, soul,
and strength.
And then Jesus said that is the first
commandment.
That is powerful. Deep. Let's get into now
before we get into Ramadan and that was
what kicked this off was
the idea that Jesus
the statement that Jesus
was fasted like Muslims doing Ramadan, he was
a Muslim,
Ramadan. But I wanna get into,
before we get into the spiritual
and all the other benefits of Ramadan and
connecting it to Jesus and Ramadan, I want
one of the other things that we also
get more bang for your buck, not just
the spiritual,
but also you also get the health benefits,
and I thought this would be interesting for
the people who are into, medicine, science, and
all the other things. So I wanna,
get your reaction to this.
Metabolism and benefits of 30 days of fasting
in Ramadan. On the 1st day, the blood
sugar level drops and blood pressure decreases.
Glycogen gets pulled from the muscles, which causes
some weakness and can also cause nausea, headaches
and dizziness.
Hunger pangs can get quite intense during this
time. By the 3rd day, the digestive system
gets the rest that it needs, so the
body's energies get directed towards cleansing the body
of toxins and healing, causing activity in the
immune system to increase. After 1 week, the
body's healing process is optimized so the old
injuries and inflamed areas are trying to heal
in the absence of additional toxins.
Despite this pain and toxin purging process in
the body, you might notice that you have
more energy and a clearer headspace.
By this time, the body is well adjusted
to fasting and it knows how to purge
toxins in short period. By the 3rd week
or so, the healing work of the organs
is being completed. After day 20 or so,
the mind is positively impacted. As a result,
greater clarity of mind and better emotional balance
are experienced, and this also helps improve memory
and What what is your reaction to that?
Like, how would now prophet Muhammad, peace be
upon him, all the things that have been
prohibited, like, usury interest
that destroys
societies. We see it was prohibited in the
past also.
And the rich get richer, poor get poorer,
suppression of the weak,
a different topic, but why would he prohibit
that? And then the eating of pork, the
tapeworms in your brain and all the other
even though how much you're trying to cook
it and all that other all the other
things, modern day technologies, it's still something that's
very harmful. Alcohol
You need to stop drinking alcohol.
There is nothing beneficial about alcohol.
Like this idea that they sold you on
that one glass of wine per day is
good for your heart is absolute nonsense,
right? Alcohol is toxic to every part of
your body including your brain. And so when
you get have you guys ever thought about
why you get tipsy and why you get
drunk?
Probably not, right?
It's because of the negative impact alcohol is
having on your brain cells. Oh, we have
a lot of conservative Christians. Even Candace Owens,
she was talking about how she left off
alcohol and other conservative Christians, but it's not
something that's
they're clear in the text. We have it
clear in Islam.
And then the concept of worshiping 1 God,
on top of that, fasting, all of these
things that Islam
has ordained, it's good for humanity. How is
Prophet Muhammad
having the time to come together
with a book that's memorized by 1,000,000, kids
at a young age, and not to talk
about all of his statements of prophecies and
miracles that he did by his own he
did miracles just like Jesus We don't talk
about that a lot. He actually did miracles.
There's one in the Quran, the splitting of
the moon. It's been proven. Mhmm.
What's your reaction now on top of this?
He's talking about fasting, and now we're seeing
not only the spiritual but also these
physical health benefits. Yeah. Masha'Allah. I know from
the from the medical point of view, 100%.
And if you You're also a medical doctor.
Yeah. Alhamdulillah. I have medical education. I have
MD degree. Masha'Allah.
So I can add 1 or 2 quick
points to what that video mentioned.
We have cholesterol. Right? And cholesterol
oftentimes is bad for the body, but there
are 2 kinds of cholesterol. You have the
HDL,
which is a good cholesterol. Then you have
the LDL, which is the bad cholesterol.
In fasting, what happens they have done this
research many, many times,
many prestigious institutions.
What they found out that in the 30
days of fasting,
the bad cholesterol,
it goes down. Mhmm. And the good cholesterol,
it goes up.
That's one of the benefits. The growth hormones
increases. That has so many benefits.
People who have diabetes like diabetes 2,
they're they have better control of the blood
sugar now because of fasting.
So there are numerous benefits of fasting, but
Brother Eddie, we just want to let our
viewers know Muslims are not fasting because of
the health benefits. These are like side reward
Allah has given to us. We are fasting
because of the spiritual benefits, the discipline,
and the biggest reason we are fasting is
because it is obligatory for Muslims to fast.
Yes.
Tell tell me this, so like I was
saying,
how would what do you think, I mean,
for somebody now who is questioning let's get
into this last point before we conclude
about Ramadan
Mhmm. Jesus fasting like Muslims do for Ramadan,
and then people many people just don't know
and they're rejecting how would you substantiate this
with evidence and proof Sure. Sure. To make
your case? So Muslims, we fast for about
30 days. Right? 29 to 30 days.
And our fasting is from dawn to sunset.
Alright? Total absentee, by the way. No food,
no drink, no water, no, you know, physical,
or intimacy with your spouses.
And that was the way of fasting of
all the prophets of the past including Moses
and Jesus, peace be upon them. And people
will be thinking again, what is the evidence?
So let's start from the old testament, the
evidence regarding prophet Moses, he fasting.
You know, we believe that prophet Moses received
revelation,
right, the Torah.
So even in the Old Testament, it says
in the book of Exodus
38:24
that Moses, Prophet Moses, the mighty prophet peace
be upon him, he went he went to
the Mount Sinai
and over there he stayed there and he
fasted for 40 days 40 nights
preparing himself to receive the 10 commandments
and he fasted for 40 days.
Now when it comes to prophet Jesus, peace
be upon him, he went to the wilderness.
Over there according to the gospel of Luke,
which is the 3rd gospel,
chapter number 4, verse number 2, it says
that Jesus fasted for 40
days and then after that He became hungry,
right? I mean naturally He was a man
and He was fasting
before He started His ministry, His preaching of
Islam to the people
and to do away from the temptations.
So,
almost every gospel, they documented the fact that
Jesus used to fast. Matthew chapter 4 verse
number 2 says exactly the same thing. Luke
chapter 4 verse number 2 says that prophets
of the past, they used to fast. So
the important point is this,
when Muslims, when we are fasting,
we are fasting the way that the prophets
used to fast. We don't, like, just give
up, you know, meat or some things that
we, you know, we have to give up
and then we can eat the rest of
the things. Our fasting is total absentee from
any food, any drink, even, you know, intimacy
with our spouses.
You know, what happened, brother Eddie, I went
to one of the high schools in the
north side of Chicago. There was an interfaith
discussion.
Big auditorium. Many students were there, high schoolers.
And then I was on the stage to
represent, you know, Islamic faith. Next to me
was a Catholic priest and a pastor and
a Hindu, you know, priest and a and
then a Jewish person.
So we were all sitting on the stage
and then, when,
that time
was done with the discussion,
there were some refreshments. Yes.
And I said to the, you know, priest
next to me, you know, I'm a Muslim,
and this is the month of Ramadan. I
cannot eat anything.
You know, you guys can go and enjoy.
And then, he said, you know, I am
also fasting. Who said that? The priest who
was next to me. The Catholic priest. Okay.
Yes. So I said, okay. Fine. Then I
can just speak to you, you know, let
other people go and eat the food.
As I was just sitting down there, then
I saw him, you know, getting off from
his chair, and then he went straight
to
the to the table with all the refreshments.
Right? I was surprised when he came back
with the plate of food. I said, you
know, oh, my dear priest, you said you
were fasting. What happened?
He said, you know, he said, yes. I'm
fasting, but I'm just fasting from meat. I
can eat that.
I said, come on, my dear brother, you
know,
you're fasting. Fasting means fasting. Right? Yes. So
people have been unfortunately, you know, they have
diluted the concept of fasting.
So when we say that Jesus fasted,
we are fasting or Jesus fasted the way
that Muslims are fasting now. This is the
organic, the true way of fasting
and because some people in the comments, people
were saying, well, also Christians fast,
Lent,
well, they'll give up something. For 40 days.
You can give up, I mean, a snicker
bar or something that you like that you
indulge in, some sweets or Mhmm. Meat or
whatever. But the real fasting, the way Jesus
fasted, like we do in Ramadan, is total
abstaining
from food and water.
That's the real fasting, like Moses,
Abraham,
because the clear verse in the Quran where
God Almighty Allah is saying
fasting is prescribed for you as it was
those before you.
And that's how we make that connection
to other
fasting like Prophet Muhammad, we followed the last
final messenger
from this verse from the Quran that
God Almighty Allah is telling us, that the
same way you guys are fasting, the previous
people,
they were also ordered to fast. Yes. So
so that passage that you mentioned, brother Eddie,
it's important for the viewers, if you have
a copy of the Quran,
please open to page number, chapter number 2,
verse number 183.
If you don't have a copy of the
Quran, we can send it to you. Call
this telephone number on the screen.
So it says in chapter number 2 verse
number 183,
Arabic.
The translation is, oh you who believe,
fasting has been ordained for you as it
was ordained for those before you that you
may receive, you know, God consciousness. Yes.
So those people who were given fasting before
us, they were the previous prophets, the previous
messengers.
So even from the Old Testament, New Testament,
we can see that those prophets used to
fast and Muslims are following those prophets also.
Actually so there you go. There goes your
your answer, the evidence.
So we're not just concocting things and pulling
things out of
the air or our minds.
Jesus was a Muslim because he submitted according
to definition.
He submitted his will
to the creator, that's what a Muslim is,
to the one God,
and he did Islam.
That's in the Lord's prayer. Oh, our father
who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy will be done. This is Islam, to
submit your will to God, so that's how
we made those connections.
And he greeted like we did. He prayed.
Matthew 2639,
you gave the reference. He went, and fell
on his face and prayed to God. That's
how Muslims pray.
Our Christian friends would be surprised. Really? You
guys are waiting for Jesus? Yes, we are.
But when He comes back, He is not
coming back as a new prophet with a
new revelation.
He will come back as a Muslim the
way that he was in the first coming.
Alright. So here is the thought experiment.
Okay. Imagine now Jesus descends,
okay, like in Damascus. Alright.
So in Damascus, there are Christians too there.
So in front of Jesus, when He descends,
imagine if there is a big church out
there and next to the church is a
mosque, a masjid
and the masjid door is open and the
door of the church is open and Jesus
is standing in the front and He can
see inside the church. He can see inside
the mosque. He can see people coming in
the masjid and in the in the church.
Now he has to decide,
should he go in the church or should
he go in the mosque?
Where would he go, right?
1st and foremost,
when he will see Muslims
going inside the mosque, Muslim males, they would
have a beard and he would know, you
know what, I have a beard. All the
prophets used to have a beard. These people,
they look like me.
I can connect with them. When he sees
the Christians going inside the church,
they are all clean shaves. Right?
So that's one way he can connect with
the Muslims. Second thing is when he see
the 2 Muslims saying Assalamu alaykum, Peace be
upon you, he can recall right away, you
know what, that is my greeting that I
used to give to my disciples.
The Bible says in John 20:19
and so forth.
When you see the Christians meeting each other,
they can have so many
variations of greeting but not universally peace be
upon you. So Jesus, when He see the
Muslims, He can say, I can connect with
the Muslims.
When He goes inside or when He sees
inside
the church,
He will see, you know what? This statue
of Jesus on the
cross and people worshipping God through a mediator.
Then when he sees inside the Masjid,
he sees that people are worshipping without any
mediator. He can then say, you know what,
I instructed my followers to pray directly to
God. As you mentioned the Lord's Prayer, correct?
In the Lord's Prayer, there is no mention
of people should be going through the mediator.
Muslims are worshipping God directly.
So that itself Jesus will say, you know
what, I can connect with the mosque and
with the Muslims.
Then when He is going to see the
Muslims actually praying,
they stand up, they bow down and then
they prostrate.
In the Christian church,
he is going to see people jumping and
dancing and rolling, right, and music and piano
out there. He will say, I never preached
like that. Never. I never prayed like that.
I never taught my disciples to pray like
that. But when he sees inside the masjid,
people are lining,
and then they are praying to one God
the way that he used to worship, then
they are also prostrating
in the prayer. And he will recall, you
know what? I used to pray exactly the
same to my creator. He will connect with
the Muslims.
Then
imagine if it's the month of fasting,
when he sees the people,
they say that they are fasting like people
of the church,
but they were on the break time, now
they went and they are eating. All of
them are eating. Right? Then he will say,
You know what? My fasting was never like
that. Then when he sees the Muslims,
they are not eating anything, not drinking anything,
right? He will say, these are my people.
When he used to say women going inside
the masjid compared to women going inside the
church, Women in the church as they go
inside, they're not wearing any heart covering usually.
Mhmm.
Women of the masjid, they're going inside hijab.
They're dressed like his mother. Whatever you have
on Google of his mother, she's wearing the
hijab. They're they're not going into the,
the mosque with the miniskirts.
Yeah. So then he will say, you know
what? They are dressing like my mother, Mary,
with the hijab, modesty, decency.
He will say, you know what? These are
my people.
Then when he finds out, you know, Christians
are not circumcised, the Christian males, and then
he finds out that Muslim males are circumcised.
And Jesus, you will think, you know what?
I was circumcised when I was young. 8
days of age according to Matthew,
he will say these are my people. He
was circumcised also. Yes. He was circumcised. That's
a whole another question. God being circumcised doesn't
make no sense. Different topic. Right? One day
we can do that. But the most important
thing by the Eddie, when he sees inside
the church compared to in the Masjid,
he will see, you know what, people are
praying to Trinity.
They are taking him to be God, son
of God when he said, I am only
a prophet.
But when he sees inside the Masjid, steps
inside the Masjid, he will say, See, they
are only worshipping the one Creator.
The way that Jesus that I used to
worship, he will say. Wow. Right? So every
single way, so if in this third experiment,
he will go in the Masjid. He will
pray with the Muslims.
He will connect with the Muslims. So any
which way that we dissect, right, from the
bible, from the Quran, from history, from the
life of Jesus, from his practice, from his
preaching, he was a Muslim.
He couldn't even this is a great thought
experiment and because technically, even though he was
ethnically Jew,
not religiously.
Right? Ethnically,
he was Jewish,
and religiously, he was the one who submitted
to the will of God, a Muslim, but
he couldn't even go in a church. And
Jews even today can't go pray in a
church, but they can can pray in a
mosque. Yes.
So this is also something to contemplate in
that thought experiment. He could not step foot
in a church.
Yeah. The way that they describe him, he
cannot go in the church. Correct. He cannot.
As a quote unquote Jewish person. Yeah. As
a quote unquote Jewish person, but he can't
Jews cannot pray in the church because the
Jews take,
the Christians as not nonmonetistic.
That is the godly thing to do. We
respect one another.
Kill you. The godly thing is to kill
me? That's right. That's what the Torah says.
The Torah says to kill us. The Torah
says that I don't people who worship idols
such as yourself,
when there is a Sanhedrin
To kill
us.
Yes. Okay. That's what the Torah says. So
we know how the Jewish people feel about
Christians. Yes?
That you discriminate against Christians. Christians are idol
worshippers. Discriminate against Christians. Says that Christianity
is idol worshippers. That's another solid that's a
point that, many don't think about, and I
wanna touch upon also, he was a Palestinian
Jew. Is that correct? He was a Palestinian
Jew. That's correct. Yes. Right? He was a
Palestinian Jew. We can say he was a
Palestinian. Yes. He was a Palestinian. Correct. Yes.
And,
Palestinian Jew by ethnicity,
but Muslim by faith. By faith. Yes. And,
I think this is really important and I
wanna just touch upon this. When I had
a senior pastor on the program and I
asked him why do so many Christians
hopefully, we got some Christian friends out there
who are tuning in and they see what's
happening, you know, this, modern day
ethnic cleansing, genocide that's happening against the Palestinians
right now. And you have Christians who are
also there,
a small minority in Palestine who are also
being oppressed.
And he said because the
propaganda
was pushed
in the late 1800 as a man by
cyber name by the name by,
John Nelson Darby. I think it's very important
for our Christian friends to look into it
because the first 1800 years of Christianity,
this was the Zionism,
Christian Zionism because you have more Christian Zionists
than you actually have Jewish Zionists.
And now when they find out that this
has nothing to do with Christianity,
they don't have to feel guilty because now
they feel it's a part of their faith
to support this. So I wanna just reiterate
what the pastor said
that they ended up, John Nelson Darby,
he ended up collecting many of these fringe
teachings from Christianity here, there, and everywhere, and
then this, person who had met him had
hooked up with,
Cyrus Scofield
from the Scofield Bible. Cyrus Scofield was a
con man. He went and spent some time
in prison. He was in jail, got out,
conveniently got his dd, doctor in divinity.
He ends up getting funded, meets up with
these these American Zionist Association. They take him
to the Oxford press in UK,
help to fund
the printing
publication
and distribute
distribution of over a 1000000 copies of the
Cyrus Scofield Bible. Scofield Bible. Why is it
significant? Because in the
the exegesis,
the explanation of certain verses like blessed are
the blessed,
are the ones that bless thee, cursed are
the ones that curse you, he's connecting certain
verses to this modern state over there who's
committing this genocide right now.
And now
p and the second coming of Jesus twice,
Jesus rapture and all these things, the pastor
said have nothing to do with Christianity.
So this is how it started,
and then they pushed all these different series
and books, the late Great Planet Earth sold
40,000,000 copies.
So this is something for our Christian friends
to,
really think about because now in this this
4 k images that are coming out, you're
seeing
this happening, but this has nothing to do
with your faith. This is something that is
totally
not a part of Christianity. Your thoughts on
that.
Yeah. It's really important, you know.
You know, for that reason, in the Quran,
it says so many places, brother Eddie, Close
to
3, 750
plus times.
Allah is commanding humanity, Muslims and humanity to
think and ponder, to do the research, to
contemplate.
Right? Not just blindly believe just because some
social media, some cultures, some people are saying
even if even if our ancestors are saying
something
that goes against the teachings of God, right,
we need to think and ponder and not
just blindly believe. So my dear, you know,
Christians and the Jews and people out there,
we should take every life as equal.
That is the foundation
and we should, we should make sure that
we don't oppress, we don't, you know, compromise
any life.
May there be a Muslim life, a Jew
life or a Christian life because according to
the Quran,
5:32,
saving one human life, innocent life is the
saving it's like saving the life of all
of humanity
and taking one life is like taking the
life of all of humanity.
In this passage Allah is not saying the
life of a Muslim. He's saying every life
is special, every life is you know equal
and every blood is sacred.
So it's important for us if we take
that as our foundation,
that means what we see out there, the
genocide, ethnic cleansing
of the Muslims by some people, by that
state out there, Insha'Allah, if the Christians, if
they rise up, be true to their Bible,
protecting life, you know, be on the side
of people who are oppressed,
just the way that we were in South
Africa.
If we do that, insha'Allah, peace will prevail.
But our Christian friends who are in majority
in this country, you have to stand up
for justice.
If you do that, insha'Allah,
you know, peace not only in Palestine, by
the way. Peace over here, whenever we stand
up for justice
against racism and against antisemitism,
against Islamophobia.
So that is the solution, I would say.
Justice has to be done.
Life has to be preserved.
No life can be compromised.
If we take that as as our foundation,
you know, frame of reference,
inshallah,
you know, peace will prevail all over the
world. All human life is precious. I like
what you just said. Yes. And
people can go ahead and
look into the Quran
to,
read more on their own. You can go
to thedingshow.com
and get that free copy of the Quran
for you. Then call 1800662
Islam. If they have any further questions, I
wanna thank you, doc Sabeel, for spending some
time with us to clarify
our position on Jesus' peace be upon him,
who we love and revere as one of
the mightiest messengers of God.
And, there was no
ill intent,
bad intention. It was just to give you
guys
our perspective, our the what we know is
the truth about Jesus, and it's up to
you if you wanna accept or reject. But
we can still, go ahead and collaborate on
something
to stop and speak out against,
what's happening now,
with these children and this oppression. And thank
you for your time and Sure, sir. 3
quick recommendations. Yes. Read the Quran for my
non Muslim, brothers, sisters out there in humanity.
Secondly, meet a Muslim, a knowledgeable Muslim. If
you have any questions, okay, meet a Muslim.
And thirdly, we have many mosque open houses.
Come to the mosque, you know, call the
masjid. Come there. Meet the Muslims. See how
Muslims pray the way that Jesus used to
pray. And then lastly, pray to God sincerely
for God's guidance. Insha Allah, God will guide
you and all of us. Beautiful. Thank you
so much, and we'll see you next time.
Subscribe if you haven't already so you don't
miss any of these
shows that come out, and we'll see you
here again inshallah. God willing peace be with
you.
