00:00:01 --> 00:00:20
			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah why Allah Allah He was a big Marina Chateau
La ilaha illallah wa, Ala Wai Sherman Mohammed in Abu rose. So first of all, I want to extend this
announce the greetings of peace
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:42
			to all of my brothers and sisters here in Bangalore, India, from from our country, we have many
Muslims, I don't know if you know this in the United States of America. In fact, many of them came
from right here in India. And all of them want to be sure that I give big sometimes to everybody so
shallow. I'll do that right now set out Molly can run for too long.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:01:02
			The second thing is that I turned out to be a real Muslim after all, and how is that because I
noticed the difference in timing in my country. Everybody's real punctual, punctual, they got a big
thing about being on time. And you know what, I must be Muslim, because I was late tonight.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:32
			We have in our country, what we call Eastern Standard Time, ESP. Then we have CST Central Standard
Time. MSD. Mountain Standard Time, then we have PST Pacific Standard Time. And then we got one for
the whole country for the Muslims, there's called a St. Arabic Standard Time, which is about an hour
behind everybody else. In any case, the subject tonight,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			really is a very serious one.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			So
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:48
			I think it's important for us to pay very close attention to this subject. The subject is about
Islam versus terrorism.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:02:25
			Usually, I see them right on the banners, it will say Islam, and terrorism. But I want you to be
sure you understand versus terrorism. When there's going to be a fight or some kind of a bout, a
boxer is going to come to town and they're going to fight it out. They put the name of one, and then
v s and then the name of the other one. This will be for instance, Folsom versus Shylock. And that
means these two are fighting against each other.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:49
			For this one, I want to say Islam versus terrorism, because certainly one fights the other. In our
country, there is a very big misconception about Islam versus terrorism. I'm sure that there's a
certain amount of that all over the world because of the tremendous hype
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:54
			that is being received everywhere through the media.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			And so the first thing to do is talk about the medium.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:16
			Media is a way of communicating ideas and information. And it's a very important thing for all of
us. This is something that's been going on since human beings knew how to speak is for people to go
into places and share information from other places.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23
			This is not new at all. As a matter of fact, that's how Islam spread exactly through media
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:31
			versus the sword, meaning Islam didn't spread by a sword. It's spread by media.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:36
			Media, or stories is called Hadeeth.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:43
			All right. In Islam, we have a science of media or Hadid.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:04:13
			And it helps us to determine whether or not the information being presented to us is accurate. For
instance, if someone says to me that up to law said to up the rock man, and he said do Ayesha and
she said to shake jofra and shake Java said to me,
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			the only person you're looking at is me.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:59
			How do you know I'm telling the truth? Well, wait a minute, hold on Jeff are sitting right there.
And you saw him just say something to me a minute ago. So maybe it could be possible. The other
people are not here. The only way we'd be able to check that out now is to ask him, what is the
veracity of Asia? The one who told it to him? Do you know I should? And if he said, Well, not
really. Then how valuable would that information be? Likewise, if we ask if she's here, we said to
her What about the rock man and up the law and if she says I don't know who they are
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:08
			Or I just met him yesterday, then what is the value of this ad? Or media? pretty much nothing.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:14
			Okay, but for sure you want to check out the one who's talking to you.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:21
			And if you find that this man is given to prevarication, meaning he lies,
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:26
			then what's the value of anything he says? Right?
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:41
			So this is how we should be today. As Allah subhanho wa Taala warns us in the Quran in surah.
Chapter 49 of the Quran, Allah is very clear on this subject.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			He warns us
		
00:05:45 --> 00:06:15
			it's in a 49 verse six. Oh, you who believe Yeah, EULA Dena amanu. If a fossick, this is a
disobedient person or liar comes to you with information or news, then you have to ascertain the
veracity or attest to it. To find out if it's real, unless you find yourself harming people in
ignorance, and afterwards, you will regret what you have done.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:24
			Now, I want you to think the next time somebody tells you something, who are they? Who is the one
speaking to you.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:33
			If it's in a newspaper, who is the journalist? If it's on television, who are these people?
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:47
			And then who are their sponsors? Who are the ones having them say these words? Are they saying all
of the truth or just what fits in a five minute segment?
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			Are they prejudiced?
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:57
			In my country, we have some people that are prejudiced, meaning
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:12
			they like themselves so much. The group they don't like they will lie on them. Even if it's not
true, they say it anyway, because Oh, well. They're African American. So we'll say this about them.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:30
			So, I don't know. Do you have prejudice here in India? Does people ever do that? Oh, okay. So the
first thing to do is realize, if you know for sure they've lied about something else, throw
everything they say.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:39
			If what they say is questionable, or maybe not all of the truth, then at least think about what
you're hearing.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:50
			But for sure if you know something to be the opposite. If they tell you it's light outside right
now, what do you consider that?
		
00:07:51 --> 00:08:03
			Are you going to consider the obvious? Are you going to try to say, well, maybe they meant, you
know, it's almost light? Or maybe they meant those lights over there somewhere? Or, you know, let's
be realistic.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:11
			tell it like it is in play. That's the first part. The next part
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			deals with what some people do.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:26
			Some people do bad things in the United States of America. But does that make everybody in United
States of America a bad person?
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			Some people do bad things
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:36
			right here in Bangalore, India. But does that mean everybody here is bad?
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:42
			And often, just as when I was in Pakistan,
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:48
			the residents will speak harshly about themselves without realizing it.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:09:00
			And say things like, everybody here in my country is corrupt. There's nothing but corruption.
There's no honest people and see Really?
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:06
			Are you sure? Yes. There's no honest people. That's right. They're all liars, right?
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:27
			Well, for sure, the only one I know about is you and you just said you were a liar. Therefore,
everybody must be honest, except you. But we don't think of it that way. We don't realize we're
including ourselves, our mothers. Are you gonna let somebody call your mother a liar? You just did.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:31
			When you said everybody in my country is a liar.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			And it's not true, is it?
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:43
			But there are some bad people in every single city on this earth, but it doesn't make all the earth
bad.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:59
			Likewise, there are some people who call themselves Muslim. And they do some bad things. But that
has nothing to do with Islam. So now let's find out right now and right here. Exactly.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:19
			What is Islam versus terrorism? I'll begin with the word Islam itself. We have an internet website
at Islam tomorrow.com is lm t Oh m owrow.com. We broadcast through the internet 24 hours a day.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:11:12
			You can go there and listen to our programming 24 hours a day, Islam tomorrow.com we have another
internet website called Islam, always. And another one Islam yesterday. And I'm thinking about
getting one called Islam for internet forever and ever. I mean, but anyway, our websites are open 24
hours a day, and there's plenty of free parking. Now I want to come back to our subject we're
talking about Islam versus terrorism. The first word Islam needs to be understood in the language
that it comes from. fee level our BIA in the Arabic language. Islam comes from this root site law.
And from this many words come. And Islam is one that contains other words in it. Often I hear
		
00:11:12 --> 00:12:00
			Muslims say Islam is peace. However, Islam is more than peace. It contains four other beautiful
words that equal the real peace. First of all, there is surrender. Like when somebody comes in with
guns, and they tell you give up, you give up, I surrender. That's the first word. second word,
submit. This is when you're going to sign an agreement. And you're going to do what it says it's
called the Shahada, the third word is obeying. That means you're going to do what you said you would
do when you sign the paper. And then the next word is sincerity. It means that you're going to do
what you said you were going to do, and you're going to do it because you know you should, whether
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:11
			anybody knows it or not, and whether anybody likes it or not. you sincerely want to do what you
said. And then finally, you do it in peace.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:13:04
			And then you receive peace from a Salaam, and that's the name of a law, the peace. So it means a
peace between you, and you're creator and sustainer. And it means a peace inside of you, and a peace
around you, no matter what's happening. Because you know, this is from your Lord. It does not mean
peace in the Middle East. Although that is a big goal and desire of all of us as Muslims. It does
not mean peace on earth, goodwill demand, something that's said very frequently at Christmas time,
like now, but we would like to see that as well. But for sure Islam is about the relationship of a
human being and their Lord. The second word, I want to talk about the vs. In this corner, weighing
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:11
			240 pounds the other word called terrorism. Okay, what is terrorism?
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:36
			What is it? Of course it comes the word terror. What is terror? Check it out your dictionary? It's
not a good word. Is it terror? It's to put fear into something. A terror is even more than fear.
Fear, you're afraid of something terror is when it is beyond normal fear. beyond normal fear, a
terror of something.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:38
			Okay.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:46
			Now, did those words sound like that match? Islam, terrorism? This is a bit
		
00:13:48 --> 00:14:35
			linguistically, you have to say, No, these don't fit. Next, let's look at the teachings of Islam,
about accepting something. Once it's established, you've established something, you move to the next
and then next and the next. Once you establish in your mind with no doubt there is a God. There's no
doubt in your mind. There's a god. And most of the people on this earth today do believe that there
is a God. They have a different perception, but the majority of all the earth bound air breathing
mammals called human beings, except that there really is a God that created them and takes care of
them. Okay. But once you accept that there's a God,
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:59
			then you accept that this court on could only have come from that God. And in this court on it
clearly states that you are not a believer, until you have made Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
as the judge in the matters. Were you in dispute. Once you've understood that, by the way, if you
want to reference that's chapter four.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:20
			Verse 65, on the sunburst 65, once you've established in your mind that Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam
is, in fact, the one who brought this Quran from his Lord, you don't have any option in the matter,
you take it and you buy it wholesale complete, and send it now what we hear
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:22
			and we obey.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:39
			Now, that is the concept being used to say, Muslims will do anything. Well, we will. That's true, if
that's the accusation. Guilty. If you're saying we'll do anything that our Lord
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:44
			has ordered us to do, we'll just try.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:56
			So if that's your accusation, then yes, guilty, guilty of absolutely following what our Lord has
ordered us to do, otherwise we wouldn't be a believer.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			But
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:37
			the next thing some very evil people have done regardless if they call themselves Muslim, or
Christian or atheist. It's a very evil thing, when you lie against the law in His Messenger, because
clearly Allah says in the Quran hated to Allah is that you lie you say what you don't do that you
prevaricate, that you misrepresent something, it's not acceptable. Many of the articles being
written against Islam, quote, one part of a verse, and then Miss translated,
		
00:16:39 --> 00:17:09
			corrupted, twist it, take it totally out of context, or use translators mistakes. But I'm going to
share with you that having been a Christian for nearly 50 years, very dedicated Christian, very much
loving the Lord, I very much still to this minute love Jesus to Christ. Because that tells us right
in here is confirmation of Jesus is right here. I have no doubt in my mind after studying this in
the Arabic text,
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:25
			that there is anything in Islam that would underwrite acts of terrorism, all I can find in the
Quran, and the teachings of Muhammad peace be upon him are x vs. terrorism.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:18:06
			There isn't enough time in one little lecture, to cover this subject in detail. That's why I
mentioned our website, so you can pick it all up over there. But quickly, I'm going to give you a
couple of pointers and let you consider for yourself. The first one is when someone says, Well, you
know, those Muslims have been ordered to kill all the Christians and Jews, wherever they find them.
wherever you find them, kill them. It says in the newspaper, and I live in Washington, DC area, we
get the Washington Post, I pick it up, I look in there and say whoa, where's that in the Quran?
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:23
			I call him up. I say who is the journalist that wrote this thing? Where did you get that? I'm not
familiar with the verse. Oh, you know, the whole Quran is loaded with stuff like that. I said,
Raleigh, just give me one reference. They said well,
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:26
			verse 191.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:48
			In surah, Baccarat, the chapter called the cow, well, it does start out exactly like they said, and
kill them wherever you find them. Whoa, oh my god. Oh my god, and kill them wherever you find them.
I'm looking at the translation called the Noble Quran by Dr. Muslim Khan and Dr. Mohammed helali.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:58
			Published by dar Salaam, that's what I use all the time. It says, oh, my god, they're right. And
kill them wherever you find them. Whoa.
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:10
			Wait a minute, hold on a second. Did you hear Christians and Jews in there? I must have missed that.
Let's go back and look again and kill them wherever you find. That could be talking about bugs.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:55
			Come to think about it. It just says and wait a minute. When was the last time you started a
sentence with the word and let me check this out in Arabic. How many of you know Arabic? Anybody
know Arabic? Anybody? Okay, well, there's, there's a thing in Arabic looks like a comma. It's kind
of round and has a tail on it called a Wow. Okay, that's the word. And in Arabic, it's a conjunction
to say this. And this doesn't necessarily mean plus like one plus one. But it's an and let's see if
it says that. Wha Yep, there it is. There's an and right there. Wa
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			t Lu. That's what it says. Well Cthulhu
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:13
			I just give you the first two words. That's the ones they're quoting in the newspaper. That's my
point. But when was the last time you started a sentence with and it means there's something right
before that, doesn't it? Doesn't it?
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:42
			Well, I don't like it. When people do that, whether they're Muslim or non Muslim, I don't like it
when the men and Islam start out, saying what cool. In chapter 24, verse 31, they begin to tell the
women about lowering their gaze. And when he jumped, it says, What cool because they don't want to
mention the verse before that said, cool, say to the believing men, to lower their gaze to guard
their private parts.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:21:16
			They don't want to mention the men have a responsibility in this deal do and the same way when
somebody misquotes, this verse starting out with WA, I want to go back to the verse before and find
out what you're hiding from me. Let's see where it says Christians and Jews in here. What it says is
they're asking you Mohammed about the new moons. Maybe I'm supposed to kill the moon. And they asked
you Mohammed about the new moon say these are the signs to mark the fixed periods of time for
mankind and for the pilgrimage the Hajj.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19
			Am I supposed to kill all the hajis
		
00:21:21 --> 00:22:11
			and it's it. It's not a beautiful piety, righteousness or taqwa that you enter the houses from the
back, but a lot but our beer is the quality of one who fears the law. So enter houses through their
proper doors and fear of law that you will be successful. And now we go to the next verse, and fight
in the way of a law loads who fight you. Okay, and transgress not limits. Truly Allah does not like
to transgressors and kill them wherever you find them and turn them out from where they turn you
out. And I'll fitna is worse than killing, and don't fight them at Masjid al haram unless they first
bite you there. But if they attack you then kill them, such as the payback for the disbelievers. Did
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:27
			you hear Christian or Jew in there somewhere? I'll read it again. If somebody thought I said
Christian, or did you hear that? The people that I heard referred to in English, it's talking about
transgressors, loads who fight you.
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			So it's retaliation? Yes or no?
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			It has limits yes or no.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:40
			Don't fight them only except when they're fighting you
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:49
			and turn them out from where they turned you out. Do you remember any story about Jews and
Christians turning Muslims out of somewhere? No.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:23:11
			So this isn't what it's talking about? Not at all. But by the way, I'm going to tell you something.
With 50 years experience as a Christian, I heard a lot of preachers do exactly the same thing with
the Bible. Take a verse, take the part out, they like make a whole sermon out of it. Nobody ever
heard that before.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:17
			Sometime they have to add a word in or take word out like Jews and Christians.
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:19
			This verse
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:35
			came at a time when the Muslims had already suffered for years of not being able to retaliate
against oppression and transgression called bull and fitna meaning trials and tribulations.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:53
			No one had to teach these Arabs 1400 years ago how to fight. Nobody had to tell them how to fight.
Arabs know how to fight even today. I think they're born with a rock in their hand, okay, they know
how to fight.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:24:13
			In fact, Islam came to teach them how to stay within the confines of Islam. Islam is based really on
a concept. It's beautiful balance called rights and limitations. All we hear about today is rights,
rights rights. What about the limits? There's no limits to the rights.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:23
			If you give one person all the rights he wants, he can take everybody else's rights away from him.
So there has to be a limit Yes or no? A balance Yes or No?
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			Okay, cool. Moving forward.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:37
			This idea, this idea of rights and limitations is introduced very beautifully with this verse, these
three verses actually in the Quran.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:53
			It's also understood when you know the story that the Arabs had been before Islam very ignorant
fighting all the time. I'll tell you one story only because there's not enough time. One story there
was a camel race
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:59
			at the end of the race, the tribe that lost to the other tribes
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:07
			One of the boys picks up a rock and throws it at the camel. When he did it killed the camel.
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:31
			So the boy that has this camel began upset, wants to kill their camel or kill the boy. So a war
starts between the two tribes and they're going after each other Boom, boom, boom, bang, bang bang.
How many years did they fight the war of the camel 40 years, killing each other in a tribal feud
over a race.
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:48
			You didn't have to tell Arabs how to fight. But when they entered this limb, they were forbidden to
go out and aggressively pursue those who were persecuting them. They were only allowed self defense.
So I want to share with you Jihad does not mean self defense.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:26:12
			It's more than that. Self Defense is always there you somebody come up and slap you, you can hold
yourself off. But to retaliate back, this was held back until these verses came for 13 years, the
Muslims were very restricted in what they could do physically. They had to tolerate, endure and
learned a word called stubborn patience.
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:18
			The Prophet sallallaahu salam was the epitome of patience and a human being.
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:29
			He was very patient. And one time there was a lot of aggression and oppression, physical abuse
against the Muslims right in front of the Kaaba in Mecca.
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:47
			And one of the companions went to the Prophet Mohammed Salah why they were so long and complained
and asked him please pray to your Lord, make dua that Allah will take this off of us, etc, etc. And
he didn't do it. In fact, he turned to him and he said, Oh, so and so don't you know
		
00:26:49 --> 00:27:10
			that Oh, the prophets before us. They had these experiences, and they actually hit people before us
had worse experience is and he was talking about the people before us how the people before us had
to endure the same kinds of things. In the first years after Jesus had left Earth, peace be upon
him.
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:20
			He mentioned the Prophet Mohammed says, I mentioned that they were tortured in horrible ways. They
had their skin combed off of them with an iron comb.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:27
			They were boiled. Like you boil a potato.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:34
			They were cut in half, they put a salt in their stall and cut them in half.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:42
			Having studied the personally, the early years of Christianity, we have record of them being thrown
into the lions pit
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:59
			being thrown into the amphitheater so that the Romans could enjoy a nice afternoon out, go to the
amphitheater night, let's go out and watch the Christians being eaten alive by the lions and bears
and beaten to death by the Roman gladiators.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:01
			That's what they suffered.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			And they had endured with patients.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:13
			So this has to be understood. And the way that it came
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:22
			after they had moved to yathrib, which is years of patients that they waited, then the verse comes
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:29
			and orders them to do what combat you Cthulhu combat,
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			not slaughter.
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:59
			But kill in the sense of Mortal Kombat go to war, willing to die or be killed or kill, because
they're doing that to you combat those that combat you. That's the kind of kill that's been implied
in the verse here with the word kitao. And by the way, the word jihad is not in these eyes. It is
not jihad is a very wide word and carries a heavy meaning.
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:14
			But here particularly, Cato is talking about Mortal Kombat. The very same thing that Mr. George W.
Bush ordered when he sent people out
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18
			to Afghanistan and into Iraq,
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:21
			his mortal kombat.
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:30
			But Islam is having limits. Big limits, fight only those who are fighting you.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:40
			Kill only those who are trying to kill you. But as soon as they stop, you have to stop. It is
forbidden in Islam to kill the innocence.
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:59
			If you're going to quote to me from this book and consider that I believe it and I'm going to follow
it then please, please take the time to go to chapter five, which is sir Alma de and look to the
verse that clearly states that if anybody takes an innocent life
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			It is though they killed all of humanity.
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:56
			It's a verse 32, by the way, and if they save a life than it is, though they saved the entire
mankind. And indeed their came to them are messengers with clear proofs, evidences in science. Even
then after that many of them continue to exceed limits in the land. And understand Islam is about
these limits. Because a lot of spinal Rotella did not want Muslims to be like the ignorant Arabs and
just trashing people to the ground. In the Bible itself, in the book called Genesis toward the end,
there is a chapter or a whole section called the * of Dinah. It deals with the subject of a boy
from a non Jewish tribe, who took a girl from the Jewish tribes.
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:06
			He loved her, he wanted to marry her. The tribal leaders from the Jews went to them, according to
the Bible, read it for yourself and said,
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:09
			We want this girl back.
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:23
			The chief of the tribe said it's my son that took her. We didn't mean you any harm. But you know,
let's make up like this. We will give you gifts, we will give you money, we will give you sheep.
		
00:31:24 --> 00:32:03
			Let us keep this girl he loves her. She loves him, can they be together? They said, No. We're coming
back. So they came back with their tribes, the Jewish tribes were ready to fight. But then they
realized, Oh, my God looked at how many there are of those people. They were huge. And number. So
when they realized they were outnumbered, they made another conference between them. They sat
together and they said, Listen, we got to work this out. We want the girl back. The tribal leader
said, Listen, we're willing to do this, whatever it would take to satisfy you. They said we can't
let her be married to him because he's not Jewish, not from us.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:44
			said, Okay, we're ready to accept your religion. We're ready to accept your religion, whatever it
takes. And then if you will accept us, we will give you our lands and our animals, and you will be
with us just as our own brothers, you'll take our wives will take wives from you, your children and
our children together, we'll accept that term of peace. Could we do that? It says in the Bible, the
Jews agreed to that. Based on one thing, you have to be circumcised Katon, same as we do today as
Muslims, the men have to remove the for flesh of the private part. And that's what it says real
clear in the Bible. You do that?
		
00:32:45 --> 00:33:06
			And then it'll be hunky dory, we'll go for it. That's Texas translation, by the way. Next thing, it
says that they cut themselves starting with the boy, the son of the tribal leader cut himself like
this that. I don't know if you got any idea what I'm talking about. That is horrible. Okay, that's
amazing.
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:51
			And every member of the tribe, they make sure every member of their whole entire tribe did this to
themselves. And it says in the Bible, three days later, when the men couldn't even move, it said
they were sore. But they were, they couldn't move. It said that's when the Jews came in and killed
them all slaughtered them all men, boys, and kept the women for themselves, took all of their land,
all of their property and all of their sheep. And they were very proud of themselves. They went back
to their father Jacob and told him the story, and it said he was disappointed. This book, The Quran
forbids all of that. First of all, you can't lie about the religion. You have to tell people what it
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:54
			is, but they're always welcome to enter Islam.
		
00:33:55 --> 00:34:04
			But the next thing is, especially, especially when you make a truce, or an agreement, you have to
follow through on it in Islam, you cannot deceive people with that.
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:49
			And when somebody declares the Chateau de la isla de la la shadow Mohammed or Zulu law, I bear
witness there's nothing to worship except God alone in Muhammad is His Messenger. He's your brother.
And the prophet SAW Some said, his life and his property are safe from your hand. The opposite of
the teaching of the Bible, in that area. By the way, I don't believe everything I read in the Bible,
but I definitely believe that it's right here when it tells me to have limits, not to go in and kill
all the boys and men not to go in and steal all the women and * them killing babies even stealing
their land after you made a promise with them. And this is what allows for bidding right here for
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:59
			the Muslims, for the Arabs and all Muslims ever since that's what it says. That's how I understood
it. If somebody has some other Quran that they know about, bring it and let's have a look at it.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:14
			As far as I know, there's only one Quran on the entire earth. And it's exactly like everyone else on
the entire Earth. So Excuse me, but where do you get out of that? Who slam is tourism?
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:35
			I see it real clear Islam is against terrorism. In fact, if there is aggression, if there is
oppression, if there is bolam and fitness, if there is terrorism on this earth, it Islam that
declared the war against terrorism 1400 years ago, and it's called Jihad civilian law.
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:43
			This is not a subject, that we're going to cover all the details in one short speech.
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:50
			But it is definitely a message that has to get out to every Muslim first.
		
00:35:51 --> 00:36:07
			And then every other person on this planet, you may ask yourself, why did you say Muslims? Because
my brothers and sisters in Islam, it's too often that I hear Muslims apologizing for Islam.
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:10
			Allah will never accept that.
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:36
			And the Muslim brothers and sisters who have died on the Taka La ilaha illAllah on the truth of
Islam, for 1400 years, would not be very proud of you today, to hear you apologize for something
that has nothing wrong in it. Until we stand up for what real truth is, and show people the beauty,
the sweetness of the deen of Islam.
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:45
			The power that Allah gives to the true believers until we do this, we're not living up to it, the
people can't see it.
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:55
			But before I end this little talk, I want to be sure that I balanced the scale.
		
00:36:57 --> 00:37:00
			I want to talk about the position of a non Muslim.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:03
			A person who is not Muslim.
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:08
			looking at what's being presented in the media today
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:12
			has a right to be afraid.
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:20
			Because a non Muslim, doesn't really have the taqwa for a law.
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:26
			And when you don't have Taqwa for a law, you're going to have Taqwa for everything else that Allah
created.
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:30
			Meaning if you don't fear a law,
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:41
			you'll fear what he created. So they're very much afraid. And they're responding to that fear. And
until they can understand real Islam, they'll continue to do what they're doing.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:49
			They see us one and a half billion people in the world as a threat as an enemy to them.
		
00:37:50 --> 00:38:06
			Because we have not lived up to the message, we have not presented Islam to them correctly. And
therefore they fear what they don't know what they don't understand. And that's logical. People
always fear what they don't understand who is going to carry this message to these people?
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:20
			Are we going to go to Madison Avenue? Are we going to go to Hollywood, California, and ask these
great promoters of media to put together a package for us and put it on their news?
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:22
			I don't think so.
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:25
			In fact, I know so
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:33
			the way that we're going to present this message is the way that it was presented 1400 years ago,
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:45
			by living the example of Mohammed Salah Lai la was Salam by sacrificing our lives in our work and
our money, not to kill people.
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:51
			But to kill inside of ourselves.
		
00:38:52 --> 00:39:11
			This knifes so that we can stand up and be room Muslims. So when they see the sweetness of the deen
in us, they want to say I want to be like you. I want to be like you. And when you look at yourself
in the mirror, ask yourself is this a person that other people would like to become like?
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:16
			Because if the answer's no, then you're not representing Islam are you.
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:38
			But if you can look in the mirror and say, this is somebody representing Islam, then get out there
and let them see it in us. I'm not blaming them for doing what they are naturally going to do. But
I'm blaming you and myself and every Muslim on this earth who has not presented this message
correctly.
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:51
			Let us make a firm resolve from this point forward. That when you leave out of this building
tonight, that it's not the same person who walked in here
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:59
			that your life is changed, that we are a better person that we're going to have
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:21
			abide by the rules, regulations and commandments of Allah supanova to Allah and following the Sunnah
of his resources. Well, Allahu Allah was so long. Let us make that resolve. And let us ask the Lord
to guide us first. And in so doing help others to see the beautiful guidance of Islam on me.
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:47
			I asked for the guidance of a law, Idina Serato, Mr. King. I mean, I asked for the guidance for all
of the people that are logging with Daya, Muslims or non Muslims, Amin. And I asked that he gives us
the good of this life and the good of the next life and save us from the punishment of his fire.
