I'm not uncle, I'm used to.
And really the behavior that I just felt right here made me think about something made me remember that morning. So we get from the profit,
nonprofit calm. These are the ones that love his sense to the human beings to warn
you about it. As long ago, a law created the heavens, the earth and everything in between are also created angels. Now you know, angels, they're made out of light. And they never make any mistakes because they don't make any choices. Allow chooses everything for them. But then allow created the gym. And he gave them the ability to choose, make choices
and allow made them from a smokeless fire. Then Allah made his last and best of creation, which is human beings. He made human beings from the earth. And he also let human beings make choices to and when they make the right choices, they get rewarded by Allah. But when they make the wrong choices from they're in big trouble. So what happens? Is it a loss, Warners or profits to the human beings from time to time, to remind them on how to behave, what they should do, and what they shouldn't do.
Way back way, way, way back, even before the creation of Adam, when the Dow created the gym, there was one gym amongst all of us to worship a lot day and night, in the morning,
and then
allow raise the raise him up, raise him up higher and higher until he was praying with angels, praying beside what the angels
he was pretty happy to see. And then when Allah created the first human being,
he said, I order all the bow down because of my creation of this human being and all boil down. Except one. And hold you think it was it was that one gym amongst all the angels who would not bow down.
He said, I'm better than him. Me are made from a smokeless fire. Jeremy's made out of dark. So I won't bow down.
Tony, you know, you're gonna vote for him for this. He said I don't care. Just let me take him and all of his children, to hell with me. Who was that? His name is in bleach, or Lucifer. And until now, he still is trying to take the children of the first human To hell with him. By the way, would you like to know who is the name of the person? Of all the human beings? Yes. Yeah, if you speak English, his name is Adam. And if you speak Arabic, his name is Adam. If you speak French, or German, or Russian, or Italian or Spanish, or overdue, his name is
the same in all the languages all over the world. Everybody knows the first man's name was what?
But then,
over the centuries, people kind of got away from the message. So I'll have to come back and tell them again and again and again. Until the last since the last and the final messenger to the human beings and June for all time. Do you know who that was?
Can you get
some love, love rally with someone? And the lesson team has mercy or Walkman to the enemy to all the world.
Now what happened in the very beginning was the editor in LA syndrome we usually say peace be upon him. When we say any prophets name, we should say peace be upon, right. So we'll say I liked an animal peace be upon him. And when Adam Erickson M was first created a love creating an agenda in the best condition. He was in the best place in paradise.
But he was alone, even though he could have anything he wanted. They could have all the food he designed. He could have anything to drink.
But he was alone. So Allah created someone for him a mate and he created his mate from a bone in his side. And he created woman. Would you like to know what her name was?
Well, in English they call her Eve. But in Arabic, her name is halwa and you say Hello.
How are you?
Now we have created how our future
was the first woman and from Adam, and from Howard, from these two, allow created all the people who came.
And then their children had children and their children had children and children and children until now. Which means by the way, all human beings came from one source. So all the humans, everywhere are brothers and sisters to each other in humanity. But when they come to the right belief, then they become even better. They become brothers and sisters in faith, as the lever now, after a law created and created,
then what do you think happened? They were both in pretty good shape by the way, they could have anything they wanted. Then the law, give them a big test.
He said, you can have anything from all of you see everywhere in all the paradise and all of that heaven. They could have anything except one thing electrical, what do you think you're told? Don't eat anything from that tree? Right there?
What do you think happened?
Well, the devil, by the way, is called upon to please shut down, you know,
you heard about him. So she had someone came to them and would get what's called whisper in their ears and told them, go ahead, it's okay, eat it all to the tree and eat it. And they went over and they took the fruit and they ate.
And then they weren't big trouble with the trouble with the law. Because they ate the fruit. Now, that's not what the problem is. Because the law told them to do something or not to do something, then that's what you have to do, you have to obey. So they blew it on that.
So a law ordered Adam and his wife, and he believes the shutdown, get down all of you from here, get down, get down and put them on earth. And the law speaks about this in the Quran. He tells us that he created the human being the heart of heart, no infinity or Sonic cap when he created human being in the best shape, shape
Filmora better known as filing separately, and then the human beings they reduce themselves to the lowest of the low of the low. Why? Because they make the wrong choices. The wrong behavior, the wrong choice.
A lot also told us about this in the Quran, when he said he never changes the condition of a people until they change themselves.
And specifically, the understanding we know from Quran Yeah, we add them and if the noun and his wife a gift, they brought this on themselves, they made their own choice in medicine. So,
put them through a new condition, their own condition was good. Noon was not so good. Why? Because they change themselves. Likewise, if a human being would like to be better, they need to work on themselves to become better. Because when you change yourself,
inshallah, God willing, Allah will change the condition. This is some of the things that we learned from the Prophet. Sometimes people will ask me, Well, how do you know that? How can you be sure? What makes you so sure that the most important thing of all is to know that they always brought one main message? And if you know this one main message you will instantly recognize is this man a prophet? Is this person a prophet? Or not? How? By the message?
Listen to the message.
ilaha illa a La La Ilaha your load? Can you say that La la la?
La, La ilaha
amatola sudo La, La Ilaha Illa. But what does that mean? Many people say that today maybe more than one and a half billion human beings that say they're Muslim. They say these words la la, la la. But what does it mean? La Isla Han means LA is known right? If you know any
man, they have little children. You know, whenever the children get into something the mother says that
all the time
because you should know that. So she's telling them in Arabic don't
know.
Isla what is the law? It means something you worship something you bow down to something you praise
Something you are thankful because you think it gives you something. So this thing worship is called an ILA in Arabic. And also in Hebrew, it's called L, L, and also elohiym. Now, why I'm mentioning this is because it's not only an Arabic that we know that it's also from the Jews and Hebrew. It's also from the Christians in the Aramaic language. And that's one of the proofs that I'm talking about. Because through the centuries, and over the many, many, many years, and all of the lands across the world, people have come, and in their language, have said, essentially the same words, there's no God, to worship, no God to worship, and then the rest of it, Ella, except a law. And
that's the message that these prophets brought to kill the people that ilaha illa law. If we know this, then we're all ready to understand now more about the prophets, messenger. So another interesting thing for us as Muslims is that prophets are different from messengers, because all the prophets, and all the messengers are prophets, all of them are from the same. But there are those who are also called ruchu. In Arabic language means messenger, you know the difference? Well, as I said earlier, the prophets knew them because of their message victory. And also we know them, because they have had some kind of experience with the law, or through his angel, as an angel men
jabril, or Gabriel, who communicate.
And when this person, whoever it might be, start to get what's called revelation, he starts to tell the people, there's only one God worship him.
But then when he comes with a book, or scripture, or anything, which is written down, then what happens,
he becomes a resource. And that's the difference between a prophet
and a messenger, or in Arabic, Nabil, that's the Prophet. And we're told that the messenger
know, to help the ones who don't know a lot of Arabic, I like sometimes even a little something extra here so you can get the idea. In English, we have a word called a pixel. That means a message that you give somebody like email, you know, you get somebody in a pixel, whoever brings it is called an apostle. apostles give
and receive fools give our thumb so the word in Arabic, our solemn is the message. Everybody got that? Yes. What's the message? Who remember? What is the message?
Very good. We didn't come to that second part yet. But we're going to get on to that. Because each of these prophets has a name.
Now some of them we know their names. Exactly. Some of them have been referred to by what they did. And others we don't know their name.
Can you guess how many prophets there were? Do you think there were more than 50? I
think there's more than 100. Do you think there were more than 1000? profit?
How many do you think?
How many?
How many?
prophets we have more than 124,000?
Wow. But the point we're trying to make is that always throughout history, there were these prophets who came and they weren't the people, but not all of them wrote books, or not all of them had a Quran, but all of them carried the same message. The message is what? You only worship the law, and nothing else. Makes sense.
You know, sometimes people ask me about the prophets, and they'll say, well, are they perfect? Well, I tell them, if you mean by that, that they can't make mistakes. First of all, the only one who doesn't make any mistakes is Allah. And his angels, of course, they have to obey Allah. So they're not going to make any mistakes either. But from the gym, all of them will make mistakes and from human beings, all of them make mistakes.
So we know that anybody who is a prophet is a human being.
So they're not perfect, but but they never make the big mistake of not understanding the message that they have the Illa
so all the prophets, they know this, and they never break them. They always stay away from worship of other than Allah.
Let me explain something else and I think this will help you.
You see we have around us right now many trees, we have plants. We have many things all over. Beautiful. Yeah. I love it. You love it. But I will don't go to this tree over here. I don't go to the plants and I don't ask them for anything.
So if you see somebody dropping the tree, maybe it's okay because some people like to do that. But if they start getting real serious, and actually a little tree, I knew this and I knew jumping out
of the tree can help you a tree can't walk. We can't go anywhere, right? So why would you ask the street? Then? What about these rocks around here? Those are nice rocks, round rocks, square rocks, flat rocks, big rocks, little rocks.
What would you accept rock for something?
I don't think so. What's the rock going to do? It can't move at all. Least the tree can move around in the wind a little bit, do a little bit of a dance or something. But a rock isn't going anywhere. You're gonna ask the rock, excuse me rock? How do I get from here back home? I'm lost in a rock condensation. No. So why if you can't ask a lot for directions, you shouldn't pray for a rock with you. But some people pick up rocks and they carved the rocks, they change the rock, make it look like somebody said, Now pray to it, ask you still can't help them get
not only this rock is defending. And it's worse off than it was. So anybody who's asking from a rock or a stick or a stone, or a bone, some people are looking at bones and thinking the bone can help them they go to the bones of dead people. And they're asking, oh,
why is there
anybody needs? More that you feel is going to ask the bone? I don't think so. Does that make sense of it.
The beautiful thing about this message that comes with all these properties, that children understand it the best. There are children, the smaller children, they understand, it's clear, when you say there's only one God, and you worship him next time you understand it.
I understand very simple. Another interesting thing about it, that whenever any prophet
talks to the people, he never lied.
He always tells the truth.
This is the characteristic of the Prophet.
Also, they don't come in any major sin. So that's why somebody will say prophets are perfect. Compared to me. They're all perfect. Because I make mistakes. I make sense, just like any human being. But what should we do? That's what the prophets told us to. If you made mistakes,
prophets told you how to fix the mistakes, all you have to do is go back to a wall, go back to a lot. I
mean, you can ask the rock to stick the stone, the bone,
you can only ask a lot.
And when you're asked Allah, he likes that, and he'll give you answers. They'll guide you, they'll show you the way. But a person has to want it. If you really want to be guided by a law, all you have to do is say Allah guide me. Now again, you could say well, then what I need a profit for? Well, you wouldn't have known that if the profit didn't tell you what to do. Because many people have tried to figure this out. Some very smart people very intellectual. Oh, yeah, they got degrees more than a thermometer. We got so much brains, even their professors, but they never figured it out yet. It keeps thinking, thinking. Is it like this? You know, maybe it's like that. Like, maybe the
guard is overheating? Or maybe God is that? No, maybe, maybe I'm the God. People said many crazy things. It's not until diamonds come and a lot of sense prophets to guide the people.
But there's a lot of interesting stories about what happened to these prophets, when they tried to give the message to the people.
One of the key rules about being a prophet is to recognize that you cannot make the people accepting what you're going to say. So the Prophet had a tough job. tough job. Because when they wanted the people like, well, if I come to you, and I said, Okay, everybody get up, maybe you'll get up. Maybe. I said, Everybody, let's go eat ice cream. You say Okay, that sounds good to me. Let's go eat some ice cream, right?
But when the prophets came and said, let's just worship God by himself nothing else, then what you're gonna see the problem, let's say why.
Why should I say what it's good for you prove it. And he said, Well, but this is nothing. I don't want to. So you can't force people to understand, but you can try and what you do, you tell them what you know about the message. The message of what? worship along, give everything to a law, because if you give it all to a law and kill one God, then inshallah you'll be in good shape. That's the first and foremost. Now, sometimes when we talk about these subjects about the Prophet, peace,
Actually the questions about what should we eat? Why should we go? Can we sit around listening to music, things like that. And those things are interesting. But the most important thing of all is to know there really is God. And he sent fine A lot of times, many times, many times for us to recognize that there's only one God. But the best thing he did for us is he sent these messengers to make it so easy, so easy for us, that we know there's only one God. And you guys were talking about a particular messenger, you said Mohammed. And I want to tell you, not just about Mohammed several of life from MPC upon him, but as many messengers as we can. So maybe we could be together in the
future, sit together again, and talk like this and express and learn more about the prophets. Would you like to do that?
You can say yes, if you want
that
much.
So when we talk about these things, a couple of things I want to remember first is that when we mention a province name, we're going to say, one or double line. And
another thing is, when we talk about profits, we don't make any difference between all the profits to us our profits, they say something we know it's true, because they don't lie. Now, our lower will elevate profits according to the way he wants. But that's up to a law. So we love all these profits, we respect all of them. And we try our best to follow. But the last prophet who comes this is the one we have to follow now, because now we live in this area. And so because of that, we will follow the last prophet who came and now we can mention his name is what?
Mohammed, some of them what to do funny. Very good. Now.
I like the way you guys are behaving. Now this looks very nice. And it makes me happy. And I'm excited, I think to continue doing this. And maybe we can have more stories as a prophet in the future, sit together and share and have fun. Did you like that? Yes.
I think that's really sweet. And I always like to say something nice when I close off a program, and I pressured a lot to guide all of us to know and understand about him this message and to obey His messengers.
Well, no, that's more like it. I like to keep looking good. You guys are all I can even ready to go martial law. And this good behavior encourages me, makes me want to sit with you and talk to you even more about our subject about profit. You remember, we were talking about profits, right? Yes. And we were talking about profit came with a message. Yeah.
Who remembers the message?
That's exactly right, that ilaha illa. Allah, there is no god to worship except one God, right.
But the problem comes in. It's not everybody tells the truth. Some people tell the truth, and some people don't tell the truth. So if a prophet comes to us and tells us anything, we should believe them. But what if somebody comes to us says they're a prophet, but they're really not a prophet? Oh, now we have a problem, right? So how would we find out? Well, we have to use our head. You can use your brain right? Now, if somebody came to your house,
knocking on the door, and they said, I want to come in your house. Would you just open the door? Let them come in. You don't even know who they are. Would you know, you would say Who are you? Yeah.
And then maybe they would say
I work for the telephone company. And I want to look at your telephone.
Would you now open the door and just let him walk in? Not yet. Okay. Especially if you look around your house and you discover you don't even have a telephone. Who is this guy? Right?
Why should I let this guy come in the door? He says I'm with the telephone company.
We'll ask him for what? proof? Can we ask him for proof? Yeah. Can you prove who you are? He said, Of course I can. So okay. Tell us how will I know he said, well, because telephone company doesn't lie. Right? I work for the telephone company. Therefore I can't lie. So let me in your house. You let him in now? No. Now he's done that. He definitely said look, if you have some proof.
Maybe we'll think about it. What proof do you have? And then if he said, Well,
I have my ID, I have some, you know, photograph and information about me on a card shows that work for the phone company. Now, will you let him know? Wait a minute, I want to see it. He said he had it, but I didn't see it yet. I want to see it. Okay. He said, Okay. But I don't have it with me. I'll bring it later.
No, I want to see your proof. Give us the proof so we can see who you are. Make sense. Now, if he brings a picture and ID, and it says he works at the phone company, maybe it's telling the truth, but should also be a phone number.
And we'll call and check and see if he really is the right person makes sense?
That if we look, we said, Oh, but there's no phone number on here. He said, Oh, we don't have a phone. How are you working with a phone company? And you don't have a telephone?
Okay, hold on a second. Let's think about this.
If he's really who He says He is, there should be some way we could prove it. Otherwise, I'm not going to open the door. Make sense? All right now, using what we just talked about letting somebody in our door. What about a profit? Because if somebody comes to tell me about something that I can't see, like Gen, or Gen, somebody telling me about paradise, somebody trying to tell me about hellfire. somebody telling me there's a God somebody's saying things about Bibles or Koran, things like that. But how do I know if I can believe this guy? I need to find more proof. Yes. But what proof What? What would be his identification? How can I verify? I just want to be sure, because I
don't know.
So what kind of proof would a profit have to have? Now if he just pulled out a piece of paper has his picture on that said there is profit George? Or there is profit? Do or profit Betty or Sarah?
Is that? Okay? No, I don't think so. Especially if I look at that. Thank you just made that up from the parking lot. I think we just did that. So how will I know? Well, if they really came from God, if there really is a God, and they really came from God, then the proves that they have should be something only God could do.
Make sense.
So let's give an example about that. I mean,
how about Moosa you know who Moosa is Moses?
Okay. Moosa Alex Anam. Basically apart No, we're gonna say this about all the prophets, we're going to say Alexa, now please respond, right? So Moshe, Moses, had some miracles that came with him, because he went to her own, you know, Pharaoh was like the king of Egypt or something like that. And Pharaoh, he was telling people that he's the Lord. He wants people basically to pray to Him worship Him is really bad. And he has to kill people just for fun, something to do in the afternoon.
You know, he didn't get so this is the kind of man he was really bad. Now Moosa excellent, went to him and was telling him You know what, I am a prophet of a law. I am a messenger of Allah. And I'm here for my people. Let them go because he Pharaoh had the people of Moses traps and making them work like slaves horrible.
So the pharaoh he said, Yeah, you know, bro, get out of here.
Beside he wants people to break down if you say that there's another god. Well, that doesn't work for Pharaoh anyway. So what happened? Well, to prove it, God sent miracles with Moosa.
Let me give you some examples of what happened. When Pharaoh rejected the message he said that only death so Allah made things happen. Do you know what one of the things that happen?
bugs? Ugly, nasty bugs, no insects? They just came all over everywhere. And they were destroying everything.
And they wouldn't go away and kill girl said, Okay, okay, okay. But after you did that,
the bugs went away.
But then he said, nevermind, change my mind. And elaborate another one on one time Allah made all the ground dry. No is no water for the people to drink.
You could Okay, okay. Okay.
And then allow me to
Come and get what he said, Man, I'm not gonna let them go and still don't want to believe.
Now Moses, Moses had a helper. Even his helper with his brother named Harun. His own brother said, Yes, he's really a prophet.
He said, so I still don't believe in what? He doesn't want to accept the signs. Clear poof. Many signs. We've talked about the local, there's mentioned the frog, whole bunch of frogs. That'd be pretty gross, wouldn't it?
So many things can do. Even the water turned in the blood.
Now I don't have water. What they do have turns into blood. It's running like bud.
Nobody could drink it.
And he said, Okay, okay. Okay. Yeah. All right, you can go. But as soon as alarm made it, stop and come back to normal. Again, look what this guy got you back. Now another thing that Pharaoh did, he had magician. Now these magicians used to come and trick the people to think that Pharaoh has some power. So they would take things like sticks and things like that, throw them out and make these sticks through their little trickery look like snake moving around twitching on the ground. And the people will be like, Whoa, you know, this trick?
So Pharaoh is going to bring his magicians with their tricks.
But mostly, Alex
was sent by Allah. And Allah told him what to do. What should you do? A lot, Tony, take your stick. Now he had what's called
a stick. Yeah. And a lot, slowly take your stick, and blow it down. And it's going to become what?
Make exactly right.
And then he said about totally stretch out your hand to get your stick and it will the snakes gonna come back? It'll be okay.
It'll be all right.
So when they came, the magician said who should go first? And actually, they said, Who should throw first? Should the magician throw their thing or should move on. So tell them go ahead, you go ahead for your thing. And they did do the sticks out there. And the little hand probably had strings or something with it, you know, some stupid, but the people will go Oh.
And then those two companies only became a giant real snake. And the snake ate up all those fake.
And then when you say Come and sit down, he can make come back to stick. And he picked it up and look
know that?
Oh,
give me where's my little magic trick.
This must be Oh my god, there really is a god. There really is a law. And Moses is the messenger. And right away they did what people do when they recognize that there really is a law. They put the head on the ground and they bow down to a law. And that's what they did. Now all the time Pharaoh was watching this stuff. He's on a big throne, you know, like, Hey, what's up with that? You know?
And then when he saw his magician bowing down, and they said we believe in the God of Moses. Were the Lamb of God and Moses. No Pharaohs fun. Mm hmm. These guys. Yeah, they made a deal with Moses and they're just tricking me. That's it. You guys, you sold me out. That's it. I'm gonna have you drawn in quarters. I'm gonna have them beat you. They're gonna cut your leg, cut your arm. I'm gonna have to do all that.
We don't care what you do. But you're not alone. We only believe in the law.
So do what you do. Is that amazing?
Wow. And that's not the only prophet that had signs and that's not the only signs that Moses that but that sure a pretty good one in a Maximus stick turns into what? Right? And he just a little magic.
Do you know that when Moses
Elektra Nam peace be upon him, was taking the children of Israel away from Pharaoh, because they got away. They escaped and they were going like let's go you know, and they were bringing all their goodies and stuff that they had from Egypt and they had lots of stuff. Lots of stuff. They'll go and get out of here. And they went and they went and they went and then they came up to the what's called the
Red Sea, Red Sea.
Big Sea. Now this thing is so big. I've been there, by the way, and I look across as far as I could see, and you know what? I couldn't see the other side. That's how big it is. It's not like a river. No, it's not like this little pond. No, it's so big in Los Angeles. And you can see the other side. I even got in a boat. And we went and we went, and we went half of the day, we still couldn't see the other side. So
now when they got to the water, and they were up against the water like this, they realize Pharaoh changed his mind. And hair, Pharaoh came with all of his army. And these guys are not just some people going out for a picnic.
They will have no weapons and everything. And they were coming, calling calling, right it's a poor children of Israel. And here, they're right up against the water. And you know what, instead of saying, oh, Allah help us. You know what they did? They got mad, and they burned Moses. Yeah. Again, look at your your broad attack to this mess. Oh, we didn't want to do that.
So what happened? Allah made something amazing happen. And he told Moses, stretch out your stick. Thanks. I saw.
Check it out. And then he popped the top of the water gets what happened?
The water opened. Yeah, it is so opened up. It opened up, flow wide, and so far apart that all the people could walk through and not even get their feet wet.
Now, how can this happen? could this happen? No. This is not possible. I don't believe any person can do such a thing. Even No matter how much equipment you have, you're gonna take the Red Sea and just go
ahead, take a walk can't happen. It's not gonna happen. So only a lot can do it your mind. But Allah did it. And it was a big proof to the children of Israel. And that was a big pro tip for our own.
Children is you went in and they followed Moses.
I'm sure there must have been a little bit of scared. What do you think? Would you be afraid
be afraid water up way up like that waterway up like that.
But they went through and as they were going through several cylinder napkins. Now I'm sure somebody would Pharaoh was going Hey, are you stupid? What are you doing? But he's like,
Oh, so they were going you know, but guys can imagine somebody would
you know, look at this. This is not real. This is some weird What's going on?
And then what happened? Well, the king of Israel got on their side they were safe.
No problem. But what happened to Pharaoh? Well, a lot closer water in on them.
Exactly. Exactly. And guess what happened?
Not quite.
Not quite. He was drowning. And he was saying, okay, okay, now I believe in the God of Moses.
Now he's gonna say it now, but he said that before. But every time he did it, he lied. Because as soon as the difficulty went away, went back to his disbelief, and saying that he was a god, right.
So what happened? A big miracle. Water opened up, went through, came on him. He said, I believe in the God.
Now the angels, the angels see this guy, they know he's a bad dude. Right? But they didn't like that. So what they want to do, they want to shut him up.
And they're gonna put handles naturally cancer, but doesn't matter too long. Because the Lord knows what's in the heart.
It doesn't matter gets you say something with your mouth said.
Now the quarter last year, law said in the court that he is going to preserve this, Pharaoh preserve him in his body as a sign as a sign. And here we are. And these days, an amazing sign has come true. Because you see, some years ago, there was a scientist
who lives in France. And they asked him to come to Egypt to examine Pharaoh's body. Now, there were many Pharaohs. But when they examined this body and they opened it up, and they look in, he said, this person died from drowning. This person died from what? drowning? He said this must be the real Pharaoh from the time of Moses. Oh, I can't believe it. Now remember, this is a man who is a scientist. This is a man who is a very smart person.
And he said, This must be the man who drowned, which is federal.
And guess what? His body is preserved? Yes or No.
Only this happened 1000s of years ago.
And guess what else happened? They took the body of this Pharaoh and put it in a real fancy looking, you know, display. And they took it all around the world. I saw it in Chicago, that same guy by himself. And I saw how all dried up, mommy died big holes, where is it gotta be. So that was him. And they said he drowned.
Amazing.
Would you consider that approved? I saw.
And I looked at NACA. Wow. That's amazing.
So a law said in the Quran
that he had talked about Moses from before from before, and said, I'm going to preserving. So when did this Quran come a long time after Moses, and long before they discovered Pharaoh. So there's a proof yet.
It's only one of the many, many proves that Mohammed, Salah Hollywood Salaam is one of the messengers of the law. And in fact, he's the last and the final messenger. But we're gonna talk more about that later. All I want to talk about in this session that we're having now is this beautiful subject of proof? What is the proof. And so we looked at other things for proof to not want to mention something to you, but some other prophets, because I certainly couldn't be improved. So it doesn't really matter which probably talked about, but I grew up as a Christian, and I knew a lot about Jesus, peace be upon him. And I love Jesus very, very much. Because all Muslims love Jesus is
a very special
one of the miracles that came with Jesus, you know, that was from the very beginning, because he had no father, and he was a miracle.
And his mother is the best one that our law created. That's what Allah said in the Quran. And then, from her, Allah subhanho wa Taala made Jesus and other calls him, he says, isn't the Myriam, which means Jesus, the son of
Mary, or Mary, they say married today. But Marian was really the name for the amazing, amazing because there's no
there's no,
there is no man involved. Now check this out. Let's back up a second backup. A woman can't have a baby.
And she didn't see any man at all. It's impossible.
So how this happens, because it's a miracle. Now, she was very good girl. She was the best girl. In fact, she was so good that she lived a special life and a special place. And it was that they used to check on her and she was very, like religious, very sweet praying to a lot. And they would be amazed because all of a sudden food would be there.
And it was food. It was out of season.
Delicious bananas or mangoes, oranges, lemons, many things that they said, Well, this is not the season for that how she's having all this food.
Because how the angels I guess brings it to her.
And then when she meets jabril, who is remember, Angel,
Angel of a law jabril or Gabriel as the calling is there.
And he's talking to her and she's important.
They back away from me. Sure, a lot. Get away from me, who are you? And he said, I'm an angel from Milan. I'm
under
the spirit, which come from Milan. And he began to tell her she's gonna have a baby. She said, Oh, is that going to happen? No man ever touch me. He said even though whenever a law wants something happened, what will happen? gonna happen? A larger says gone for your coup. De nada.
It's easy for all.
Now, I want you to think about something. This is a miracle. And isn't today all the most insightful, and all the Christians say so that it's a miracle birth of Jesus.
But have you thought about this? How about eighth?
eighth.
How was she born? How you remember how the story of how we talked about her? How did she come about? Because Allah took her out of the rib a bone from him.
Adam, how
have you take a bone out of atoms and make it become a woman? I think that's a pretty miracle Dude, you know? And wait a minute.
What about atoms? How does the law make Adam? Didn't he make him from?
CLAY?
How? Because the law says, goon.
So the creation of Adam, the creation of his wife, the creation of Jesus is all the same to a law, Khun
v.
And that brings us to a wind up on our program right now that Google is going to wind down without we're going to give big Salaam to everybody. And we ask for a lot of peace, to be with all of those who seek truth.
That's more like it. I like this. This is looking good. You guys are all ready to go martial law. All I want to talk about in this session that we're having now, is this beautiful subject of proof? What is the proof? And so we looked at other things for proof too. Now I want to mention something to you about some other profits, because we're certainly going to be improved. So it doesn't really matter what you probably talked about. But I grew up as a Christian, and I knew a lot about Jesus. Peace be upon him. Well,
I know that some Christians, they pray to Jesus, but I asked them a question.
Why do you pray to Jesus? They said, Because is the miracle birth? Look, the miracle birth? Look at that stairwell. Did you pray to Eve to make your miracle, a bone turning into a lady? If you don't pray to her that said, No. So what about Adam?
Adams made from clay? Yeah.
But you didn't pray to Him, do you? They said no. So that's because the miracle birth doesn't qualify the person to be prayed to does it.
So what we want to be careful now, when we're looking through the proof, and we understand Yes, the one who's here represents who He says He represents. But at the same time, we don't say he is God.
Backup now I don't want you to think again. Let's go back to the telephone company guy at the door. Remember him? Okay, on the phone guy? Here's my card. Okay, prove who he is. Oh, my God, he's a telephone. No, he's not a telephone. He works for the telephone company. Right? You wouldn't need the telephone would you?
Say was the telephone at 30 words? That telephone guy? Right? So I mean, you know, imagine he's got a gun like this, you pick it up? Hello.
All right. So if Jesus didn't say, God worship Me, Moses didn't say, Hey, I'm God worship me. And Moses hated people talking like that, didn't he? That's why he got mad and bow. Look how Pharaoh said on God worship me. What happened to him?
We already talked about that. So if anybody said, I'm God, worship me that not a prophet?
Yeah, wouldn't be a prophet would it?
Because the prophets all said, there's only one God worship Him.
So that helps us to understand some of what's called the proof or the miracles, or the signs of the Prophet. So the thing I want you to think about here is the proofs that prophets bring. First, they have the same message. They confirm what other prophets had said. They said, Yes, Adam, first properties who, Adam, in all languages, we found that out first, and then the next and the next and the next day always did the same thing. Even Muhammad peace be upon him said the same thing. Now it made me think, hold on a second, let me go back again. And I went back to the books again, and I looked and I looked at
right there, the first commandment I found in the Bible, which they have what they call 10 of the commandments. It said, Thou shalt not have other gods beside God, La Ilaha. Illallah
said, Oh, my God, look at that. The second commandment that don't make any patches don't make any images of God.
So Whoa, that's Islam.
We don't make any images of God. Do we know. The third commandment I have is another amazing thing. Don't use God's names in a bad way. Don't say God's name in a vain way that you know, don't do that. Don't do that. Do it.
We do mistakes
We make a lot of sense from time. Why don't we do that?
Man?
I got to thinking, hmm, let me look through some more scripture. And I found it again in another book, same way, no god except God. And then another book, no god except God, another book in the Bible, no god except God, and another, and another, and another. And then I got into the part where it's about Jesus called the New Testament. I was in there. And I found really nice, somebody asking, tell us, what is the greatest commandment of all, best Jesus? What's the greatest commandment?
And I look, I said, Nobody said, the greatest commandment is to know Oh, Israel, the Lord your God is one God. And you have to worship Him with all your heart, and all your mind, and all your soul. All your strength, everything is for whom?
Allah, Allah. Now, does that make sense to Muslims? Yes, it?
Does that make sense to Christians? I guess. So it's in their vote? Does it make sense to the people before them the children of Israel, in their love? So we're finding that all of these scriptures books, say the same thing. So now we have another kind of proof, the books because the books agree.
Of course, as we mentioned about the Quran, it's a very special book that we could talk about forever. The beautiful thing about the Quran, yes, we still have it, all of it in the original form, and the original language. Another thing that I was thinking about, about these prophets, about their proofs about their sign,
I thought
it should be that it would be uniform exactly the same for each one, they should have something in common, but they should have something different to set them apart. Again, I found it to be true that each prophet had similar things. But each one has something different to
what's amazing is what Allah said in the Quran, that he didn't punish any nation. They didn't punish any nation, until he sent a warning to them. Somebody who's a messenger, somebody who's going to tell them about what is good and what is bad. And then I got to think, and again, that's it, okay, not all the nations are like garbage. If you're in China, the people there are not like the people who live in India. The people in England are not like the people who live in Africa. The people in South America are not like the people who live in Australia, everywhere you go, people are different. So it means that the profit should all be different, in some ways. And again, the
information we have about the Prophet is exactly like that. Adam is the first prophet for us. He's the first because he's the first to receive inspiration from Allah. And the inspiration was what? Don't eat the fruit. He ate the fruit he got in from your mother's story. Yeah. I want to ask you a question. Did anybody tell you how big words Adam?
If he was the first of all the men, should it be real small? Or should it be real big?
Medium,
or big being? Who is the biggest the father or the child?
The father should be the biggest. And if he's the father of all the human beings, I guess he could be the biggest. Hmm.
Yeah.
Ah, you got a good point. In some languages, when you say big, you're talking about age. But in English, when you say big, you're only talking about size. But when you speaking Arabic, big can also mean age. But I'm specifically talking about his size. How big was Adam? Hmm. Now there's something else interesting in Islam. In Islam, we know that Allah is telling us something about Adam, that after he created Adam,
he pulled all of the souls of all of the human beings out of Adam's back. That means you. You need all of us.
We were in the backbone of Adam at one time. And then a law. He pulled all the souls everybody out, when we will get sold.
He asked us the question.
Am I not your Lord?
And we all said yes.
And then Allah
erase that from our mind.
Do you remember it?
I don't remember it. You remember it.
I don't remember it, though. We believe it. That happened, but we have no memory of it.
In Arabic, nesea,
and incense come from the same word to forget. So a human being in Arabic, actually is the word, the one who forgets. Because we forgot about our meeting with a law. And we forgot we're gonna go back to a law. Now the subject of coming out of a law is what I want to mention, because if everybody was in his back, he must have been pretty big. Yeah. Do you think he was
10 meters tall?
20 meters tall.
30 meters tall?
How big?
Bigger? How big.
to ski
1500 paver even, you know how big I want to say how big they measured cubic.
cubic. Like this. This is like a cubic. Okay, something like that. And the big old stones that they use to get the big big buildings out of you look at them. They're like one qubit by one qubit by one qubit. And it makes up to that's where the word tube from cubic. So if you imagine he would pick the qubit
is that big?
Oh, well, I tried to get my tape measure and figure it out and added up in the calculator. And I said, Oh, he would be bigger than a building.
He would be taller than a building. Yeah. Yep. It was.
Then I thought, Okay, that makes him different, doesn't it?
Now, here's something else that happened.
After he did his bad thing he ate from the proof that he wasn't supposed to eat. And he got kicked out of gym. A lot put him and he believes and power everybody had to get out. Right? What did he do? He made Toba. What is tell them? You don't want to tell them?
No, it's how you get forgiveness. Tell them means to go back. Did you go down the street sometime? You said oh, we packed it. We packed it. We have to go back. We have to go back over to go back to a law and ask the law to forgive you. So you're right. It leads to forgiveness. How do you say forgiving Arabic?
When you add know that, you get to remember when you ask Allah to forgive you what is the word you said? You're not allowed forgiveness?
How do you say love forgive me?
Doug federal law. A spelled symbol of peace.
Federal laws.
Very good. Now,
another interesting thing is that I found this is where all the profits are alike. Because they all said stuff robot that they made mistake. They say stuff for a while.
And they go the people when you do anything bad. First stop for a long would you like to know something else is different.
One property live for a very long time. Long time. He lives so long. So so long, like more than 100 years? More than 200 years. More than 300 500 700.
Yeah. I like
that. wait to hear this.
One time a lady. She came to the Prophet Mohammed. Thank you What? What happened? You said my boy died. Your boy guy? No.
I'm sorry. She said he was so young. How old 450 years.
Hey, say oh, there will come a time when there will be a prophet whose people will only live to be around 6070 like that. She said, What?
If I live at that time, I will just stay all the time worshiping a lot. Just put my head on the ground. Just worship the law. That's what I would do. Because you see back then people lived a very long time. Long, long time. So you think prophets were different, but they were the same? You understand? Each Prophet he had become for the message for his own nation or his own people. He had to be from them. And also he had to speak their language.
What was the language of the people of Abraham, we didn't talk about Abraham. You mentioned about
What's his name, by the way and have the dino,
Ibrahim, Ibrahim.
Do you know anybody named Ibrahim?
and English they say was
Abraham,
Texas with
Eva Abraham?
Now? In what way? Is he different? And what way?
Well, the line would sit he spoke was called evil. And today we call it Hebrew or a form of Hebrew. But that's what his people spoke. So they knew what he was saying.
No profit. Jesus will talk about Jesus. He liked him so much. And the language he spoke is called Aramaic.
And his language was understood by his people. They could speak the language, they knew what he was saying. Yeah. By the way, it's very similar to the Hebrew and also similar to the Arabic because they come from the same place, and the same.
What other things do we know about prophets that are alive?
Well, some prophets had helpers, that you know that. Like, for instance, Musa Moses, Alex, who was his helper
do not actually Harun in English.
Aaron, in English, we say, Aaron, Aaron. No, not Heron. Aaron, just like,
Aaron.
Aaron.
All right.
Now,
what other process had a helper?
How about Jesus?
He said, Who?
Jesus said who for help, turn the badness.
Right, yada, yada was to help her for Jesus. And Moses said, Hello.
Now some prophets were all by themselves.
We know that there was one prophet out of all the 1000s and 1000s of prophets. When he came, nobody helped him. And nobody followed him. Nobody, nobody would listen to him. I guess he felt pretty sad. You know, another property only had one person who believed in following him only one.
Some other prophets had a few. Abraham had many though, many people believe about Abraham. They did.
But who had more than Abraham? Moses, many people have far more than that. So salming
Some people think Jesus had a lot, but he actually didn't have very many, not in big numbers.
One of the things we know is the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him had go many, many, many, many, many, many people yet. Many people. How many?
Well, I don't know what a Lackey. So I can't help you on that one. But a lot, a bunch. So many people, you probably couldn't have counted them anyway. Right.
And I was thinking,
Okay, we found the similarities, we found some differences. We found what's common their message.
And really, the more you think about it is, it would be impossible, for sure many profits over so much time. So long over time, it will be impossible for anybody to make it up. Because why would somebody have an idea way back 1000s of years ago, then a few 1000 years later, somebody else had the same idea a few 100 years later, again, again, again, always saying the same thing, confirming the profits before talking about the profits that are coming, and all of them saying there is no god except to one God.
So that's a very good proof isn't when you add it together, and you think about it, you say
must be it. There must be real profit. You know, when the profits come to the table, they really do look ordinary. I mean, they don't float, you know, off the ground, right? They don't do like magic creation, and all this hoopla stuff. You know them do like that. But they do have miracles.
I'll give an example of miracles. Just something for you to think about. Jesus peace be upon him had some flowers, as we mentioned, and they asked Jesus
Just one time. Look,
why don't you get God? A law to send down a table from heaven already has food on it, we can eat it.
Jesus was telling what kind of what you don't believe. That's it? Yeah, yeah. But you know, it really helped our belief more if we had a big table full of food. And then a lot sent down the table. But Jesus warned them, if anybody gets believes after this, you're going to be in big trouble.
And sopran Allah, Allah sent down the table, and here's all the food that they could eat.
mazing
Yeah, for them. But the problem for us, I don't see it, you know. But Moses had a stick, turn into a snake became a fish again. And he used it to smack the water in the water to party. Yes. Hey, but I don't see the steak. Do you know?
Some other prophets had signs too. There was a dead man. There's a dead man who came back to life from one of the prophets, one of the prophets in the Old Testament
that Jesus had to know. But I don't see the dead guy. He's still dead now in me. So it's no proof for me, is it?
So What proof do we have, I mean, a real proof, something that we as human beings today can look at and say that I can believe in. We have the miracle that came with Muhammad. The Koran, that's one of the many miracles the moment is the Quran and we still have it today. It's still in What language
are of the year? And people still speak Arabic?
Yes, they still do. All over the world, you find people speaking Arabic. Anyway, you find Muslims, even Muslims. speaking Arabic. Right?
Can you say something in Arabic?
Or can you say in Arabic?
Say something in Arabic?
You said it for a girl though. What is your name? Yeah. But can you say?
Well, I have something real good. We can all say in Arabic. And it's in the Koran. And it's in the Bible that Jesus said it to his friend, when Jesus came into the room with his friends, at the same time they were going to have the table business probably, you know, and he said something to them.
And we found it in the Quran.
He was saying, peace, peace be unto you. What we find in today's Bible, this is what we find in the Koran, peace, Peace be to you. And in the Hebrew, they said, shalom.
And in Arabic, we say
let's say it all together.
Malebo, muramatsu, law, he was a captain.
And that brings us to a wind up on our program right now. Because he was going to wind down with air, we're going to give big salam to everybody. And we ask for a lot of peace, to be with all of those who seek proof.
That's more like it. I like this, this is looking good. You guys are all ready to go martial law. When we were talking about the process, and then find the proof, the things they had in common, and the things that they had different. So then I was thinking about how many profits?
So many, maybe more than 100,000. And how many messengers. These are the ones who have the book.
And they said maybe more than 310 more than that. coming with scriptures. We call it scripture. But the only one that still is today, like it was at the time is the one that came with the last messenger Muhammad. And it's called what what's that scripture?
And that's what I wanted to talk about today. I want to talk to you better in a special way. Because in the Quran, the first thing that came, told us a lot of things in the first few words, and there's a very important message coming to us. So I need your help on this. So pay close attention, okay. All right. Now we know the story that comes with the Muslims right, that Muhammad peace be upon him. He is in a cave
in the mountain of life.
called Jebel noon, right. It's Ramadan. It's nighttime, right? He's worshipping along and worshiping the law. And what happened?
All of a sudden, an angel comes in the cave with him. I bet he was scared. What do you think? I would be afraid. And the angel grabbed him who is Angel
Gabriel They call him in English and Gabriel to Brazil. And he grabbed Prophet Muhammad said including like you know close to him like me letting go and what did he say to him?
If Cora member we're gonna say what it said in Arabic because that's the language that came they didn't speak English back then because there was no English ikara now Prophet Mohammed Salah violence on peace be upon because no, I'm not of those people who do that.
grabbed him again and he pressed me Let him go and he said Erica,
and the young president Mohammed is telling him but I don't know you know how to read like stuff like that. I'm not educated like that.
And you grab him again, pressing through him again and he really seemed again me.
Mira Baker, la de kala, kala ko in Chinaman Allah echo well rabuka lokrum Allah Al amo bill Colombo, Rama in Santa mala Mia LA.
Yeah.
Did you know that?
How many of you already knew this? Raise your hand if you already know that. You know, that turns you on to Yes. This is Surah Surah. One, Allah.
Allah.
First I'll start with the word echo. Echo means recite. Some people think it means read. But actually, the best word is recite Why? Because Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him never degree. So why would the angel Tell him to do something he doesn't do? Right. And the recitation is what the Quran is called FRR is the way of telling somebody to do pour on Gara.
Rock.
And this is the route. So now we understand whoever does that somebody's telling you cut off. And when you do it, and recited this min law here Oh, man, you're walking. That's what? reputation? So that's what makes sense. Yeah.
Well, then I thought some more about this I could
recite, recite, recite in the name of your Lord, who created
he created Allah created the human being, from what?
Allah, Allah
from Allah, because inside of your mother, in a special place inside of your mother, called the lamb or place of mercy, this is a nice word, mercy place inside your mother. That's where you started out. You were
so small, nobody could see you. Even with a microscope. It's tiny, tiny, tiny. And just at the minute, when you were conceived inside your mother, you made
on like,
connected and makes a teeny little hole. And all of a sudden it forms a clot of blood. And you begin to grow and grow
and grow.
And that thing is called an alaqua. What you used to be what I used to be that can you believe I was little? No, I'm so big. But we were all like that. And we were all up like that. Now here's something interesting, very interesting. Nobody knew. Back at the time of the Quran coming they didn't know what Allah they didn't know that. The human beings are so small, but he couldn't say that it's shaped like what it's shaped like the thing in the water which gets called the leech, and that's called Allah, Quran Arabic. It forms a blood clot. That's also called alekan Arabic And what else? Anything that came clean is called Allah.
Do you have a refrigerator in your house? You have a refrigerator. Do you have any magnets hanging on the refrigerator? Yeah, we have magnets all over you know, like this and that letters and words and stuff. And when you have all that stuff, and you can think this is what clean must be.
Good. Okay. Well, then, I thought
Come on, how could somebody 1400 years ago, know about Allah, inside of a mother when nobody even know about it, but Allah said it, that he created, it's all from Allah. Then he continued, and he said, recite in the name of your Lord, who is so generous.
Who taught men, human beings, how to use a pen?
and taught them what they didn't know.
Hmm. Now, what does that mean? So I asked some of the people that have a lot of knowledge, and I like to sit with them and ask them questions. And that's a good thing to do, by the way, you want to know go to the people with knowledge, right? And ask them and they said, Don't you know who is the first one to use the pen? And he used to write down what alarm taught him to write a sentence? I don't know. It's a dream laid out for me to properly
address
later. No, I didn't. Very great.
There we go. Cool. You got time.
Now, they're not called out his name. In the English language is Enoch.
Enoch. Don't ask me where that came from. Exactly what they said. No. Anyway, Idris and what did he write?
Well, whatever he was inspired to write by law.
And what did he tell the people whatever allow wanting to tell the people? Did they save it?
Not really. However, I have some very old books in my library. I mean, old. How old? I don't know. But these books are made from older, older books. And they're called apocrypha. Can you say apocrypha?
Okay, apocrypha, it means hidden from the public. Because these books used to be a long, long time ago, part of the Bible.
And there's one, it's called the dream,
a dream, one and Idris tool. And I looked at that, and I said, Hmm, but when I tried it, it didn't make a lot of sense. And then I asked some knowledgeable people. And they said, well, it's not authentic. It's just stuff people made up afterwards. So we don't really know. I said, Okay, let that go. We'll move on to something else.
And that's when I began studying the different languages of the Scriptures to try to learn more about it. The only one that I could find, and even till the day, it's all there, and the original language is what are on
the recitation. So that made it nice for me to find it last place, I could go and learn about these profits from the last prophet, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the Quran.
And the more I thought about this, the more I looked at it, it started becoming more clear to me. Many people ask me, like, how did you get into Islam? And they think, Oh, well, because you used to be a Christian. Maybe you didn't like Christians or something. And maybe you like Muslims more than Christian. Maybe that's what, that's not true. No, it's not true. In fact, I feel like Christians, there's lots of good guys out there. But what I like is being able to prove what I say.
And there's so much proof from the Quran that I keep thinking must be the truth.
What's really nice, is when I read the Quran, and it kills me about these prophets, and tells me about the message that they used to have, it even tells me what they used to say words that came from them out. Amazing. Another Prophet, another prophet that came, his name was Abraham.
Abram is what it says in one of the books that I have Abram, or Abraham, a Baron, if you're from Texas. God Who is that?
Well, they said later, his name became Abraham, or Abraham.
Anyway, the interesting thing about him is not so much his name. It's interesting how he got to Islam.
Did you know his father used to make the sticks and stones and people used to pray to you remember when we talked about that? We talked about rocks that people carved the stones and rocks and then they pray to those rocks and stones you remember? Well, his father was the guy who made those
big ones Oh, man, he's made one that was so big that we're bigger than human beings. And if you saw it, you might be like, Whoa, look at that, you know? And he made it look like people they made it look like different things. And they had so many factors.
In so many images of So, so many things, you know
that Abraham was a young boy, you know, he looked at his
work because he's watching his father, you know, look at he's doing this and that he wants to he can make the subject of the news.
You can make it a bigger
thinking can make it have big mouth.
They can make it however he wants it. Yeah.
So how could that be a dog? I mean, if you couldn't make it, how is it a god.
And the people used to pray for these gods. In fact, they had a special building, just for God. They called it a temple.
And in that temple, there's all these big statues and stones, veins and all that, you know, and I mean,
Abraham didn't like it. He told his father, he didn't like it. And then
father Tony,
shut up. Why? Well, I think, because his father's going, Hey, this is my job. I'm making money Shut up.
I don't lose my job. I got a good position here.
But one day, when the people were out celebrating something doing something, they left the temple. Abraham, he
went into the running and he took a big hammer called a mallet. The big one right. Wow, boom.
Cry. Oh, hey, book.
Did he break them? Big time? They broke them up into little teeny tiny pieces. a mess. Everywhere. Except one. There, Greg, how do you know the story? Great, big, big statue? He did. He left that big hammer. Right there. Right beside the by his hands. Right. And he left knowing that people came back. Were they happy?
No way. Were they scared with a mad? They were angry? how angry? Were they? There were so many who did this? Who did this to our God who does this tour? Whoa, whoa. Somebody said, you know, that boy of the statue maker. He's been complaining against our gods. Let's pay them a visit. And
they went to the spectrum Microsoft. Boom, boom.
exactly two years.
Took them back. They went to the temple that took Abraham electrum right in there.
Now a lot of it.
Mm
hmm.
What do you say? Is your what you're asking me? Why don't you ask him? He's the one was the hammer.
Pretty cool, huh? And look what they said, this is the part I like best. The people said, we can't ask him because he can't hear. And he can't speak.
Now what's out? What's that? Look at it. He can't hear and he can't speak. So what he said, so why do you work your beam? Because if you need anything, you're going to assume that you just told me he can't hear you. So why are you praying to Him?
You just said he can't speak he can't answer you. So why are you praying to Him? And then
the
second question, but never mind that we're back on them. They wanted him. They were really mad, you know? Well, they decided what they're going to do. Now there was a real bad king in those days. real bad king. He sold that. Some people said his name is nim rude. And I thought about this name. He moved. I wonder if the word rude comes from is
rude. very rude.
And I thought about it more
nimue Can you say numerous? Yeah, who cares? He's a jerk. Anyway.
Mehmood.
What he did was so bad. He's do horrible things. He only did one time. He was arguing with Abraham about something you mentioned in Cologne, by the way, exactly what happened? Didn't you ever think about the one who argued with high g Brahim. They call them hajipur. He was that nice because he gave me pilgrimage
and how they argued about his Lord. And so Abraham at economic peace be upon him was saying, My Lord is the one who is giving life and he gives death.
He's trying to explain who is the law because this man was claiming he was alive. He said he was God, you know.
And so this dummy sorry.
This man in rude, the rude. He said, I can give life and I can give that watch this show they brought some people who said he'll go and rip those people though. He said You see, I just gave death
and I gave life
oh that's nasty. He killed somebody for no reason just to show off. Horrible
rude superpremium then what happened?
I love what Abraham said next Avraham la semana said well my lord is the one who makes the sun come up in the East
so why don't you make it come up in the West
now in this way a la put down those kind of people because they have no answer look at the first thing has happened with the breaking up the statute
and that's how Allah made it clear to them why you're speaking the statute.
And anybody claimed to be God, okay? Make the son stand still or make it go backwards
or make the moon pop out and go away? Oh, you can't do that. How are you God?
Well then one of my friends said you know,
a human being shouldn't say anything like that about themselves. Because we can't do anything. We can't i can't move the sun Can you
can you move the moon my friend said can you even make your hair grow out of your face while we wait? I said I don't think so. He said you can't even do that then don't tell anybody you have any power but you don't have power law has power right
well that's not all that happened
that numerous guy he predicted and he kept on going guess what happened?
They said
we're gonna burn up the behemoth he said yep, we're gonna burn him up big time. We're going to give
you guys more gigantic fire of the world. He said I don't want to fire I want to buy
they're going
to give me
so they threw everything they had in the fire they threw in like you know the furniture of the
dog and kill this fire get bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger until it was a big fire
it was the worst kind of fire and then what happened the people throwing stuff into the fire caught on fire and died that's how bad it was. He said no going in. But the people who tried to throwing into the fire they were burning up
and so let them understand something a new thing they invented called the catapult and that's when you have something like this and you like this
you
get up here and go
like this.
So they put Abraham right on this and pull down
get it down like that and let it go and the thing that the fire by the way.
And
bam. And he went right into the fire right into the fire. But look what a lot of said is wrong. You can read it a lot said oh fire be cool. Not cold is cool. So Abraham stayed inside that fire a long time. didn't bother. He's like walking around with a nice fire you go.
Why? Cuz I'm cool.
And so sometimes I tell the Muslims I like to tell you guys to. We want them. We like to be cool.
I don't think anybody is more cool than almost them. We're not hot. Now we're not cold. We're cool.
We want to be cool in this life. Cool on the day of judgment and cool and the next slide is a good lesson for us to think about this and see how it fits in your mind.
In this life, sometimes you get upset you get angry. How do you feel hot or cold? Hot. Really hot. You get mad?
Really.
Now our Prophet Mohamed Salah light Salaam said when you feel that hot, he said that's the devil running through your body like your blood. What is it
The devil running through your body, like your blood. And it's what's the devil made out of remember?
fire, smoke this fire. So that's why when you get angry shaitaan makes you get hot,
really hot.
And both of them Mohammed Hassan said, whenever you get angry and you're standing up, what should you do? Sit down.
And also, you get hot like that make will do, what it will do when we watch, you know, we wash our hands, we wash our face, we wash all over ourselves. And we do that so many times every day, even before we pray five times a day watching cooling down to we're always cool, cool, cool, cool. Take it easy, don't get upset. Well, for right now, though, let's say what we always say at the end of something or the beginning of something when we greet people, we say,
cool, so we're off to LA, he will vary CAC
peace beyond to you, and allows
mercy and His blessing. That's how we ended each one of our little programs. And we asked a lot to always keep us in this way, and make it easy for us.
Well, everybody here gathered together and we're ready to get started. Are we muscle alone? You know, we've been talking about the profits in Islam. And we've talked about some of the basic things to understand, we discuss the subject of how we can know if somebody is really a prophet, is there any real proof for that, then we found that some clear evidence. Another thing we found out is the similarities in the property always bring one message, a clear message, that there really is one God, all your love, and all your worship, everything you do, you do for him.
But we found out that some of the things are also different about the Prophet xinli, we found out that they live at different times, a little bit different from their languages.
We also found out that they lived in different situations, cultures and circumstances, things that happen to them.
But today, I thought maybe we could discuss something that happened way back at the very beginning of time of Adam Riley. And I remember when we say any prophets name, like Jesus, like Moses, like Abraham, we always say I like the lamb or peace be upon him. And with that, I want to go back to talk about Adam many of them. And you know, when he was first created a lot created him from dirt.
Now, dirt, as we know is all over the earth. And dirt, as many colors you can look at dirt, it might have some brown in it might have some orange might have different, you know, and so all the people of the earth today also different colors are interesting. And Allah made Adam from a kind of clay. We call it sounds like you know what it means? It means that when they work with it makes it sound strange. But we don't call an Arabic we don't say people are human beings in Arabic, we say they are what? In France. And that's some of the things we'll talk about today. Why we're called infant.
Now let us go back and see here's the atom. And imagine here is that and when we discussing so big, you know how big Adam Marty was so tall, bigger than a building. It was very cool. And he tried to talk to the angels, you know, because there were angels videos. But they were busy. Now always worshiping Allah. Maybe he would talk to them a go, yeah, yeah, whatever. And then back to worshiping alone. So he was wrong. And one of the things that happened a lot told Adam, to give names to everything. I had already told the angels. You know, if you know anything, tell me the names of all the things I've created. I said, we don't know anything. We know anything if you didn't
give us the knowledge. But when a lot told Adam give names to everything, Adam named everything. Yep. And after that experience, I guess he was pretty tired. He laid down he fell asleep. Hello made him fall asleep. And during his sleep, a lot did something a lot to the bone of Adam, which is the short bone from the ribs.
And then allow made that bone has skin and flesh. And then eventually it became what
became Eve that was the first woman was made from the bone of Adam.
Did you imagine that?
So Adam woke up, you know?
Hey, Cory.
You weren't here.
form. That's right. Where did you come from? She said, I came from you.
For me. And when you realize, they said,
so then he told her her name.
He said, You are halwa?
No, the angels are going, Hey, how come you called her Hauer said because she's created from something alive. And how in Arabic is from the same word as I,
in the law is all high, which means what? Always alive, eternally alive. That is the name of the law, because he never died.
So she's called power, which means alive. So women are coming from the same place men are coming from, we're all coming from the same place. A lot told us in the Quran, yeah, you're not set up for rubber for malaria, colossal pulmonary, nothing, wacka wacka wacka
Baba.
And that's the meaning of what I'm telling you right now. But he said, Oh, human beings.
You're coming off from this source. He says to us, all human beings have Taqwa for Allah for your Lord. And Allah is the one who created all of you from one single person who Adam, and from him created your mate, our we call to, and from these two have brought forth many men and many women.
It's important for us to know this, because just like we need to know that men have responsibilities and things they have to do. Also women have responsibilities and things they have to do.
Now another subject that comes up with this is called knowledge. Because one of the amazing things about Adam, and all of us too, is the ability to learn.
I don't get there's anything else on the whole entire planet Earth really has the ability to learn like a human being, we can learn so much and understand so much. And this is something coming all the way back from Adam, Allah gave that to us His desire, if you will, or love, to want to know more, I want to know more. So sometimes we hear stories, and we want to hear more, more Why? Because inside you, for something thing, get some more knowledge, get some more knowledge. But then the important thing to do is to know how to use your knowledge isn't the first knowledge all of it, that is the knowledge about ourselves, and we found from the story of Adam, he had knowledge about
himself. He had knowledge about the bone that came from him that became his wife
had understanding,
then the next kind of knowledge that we need to have is the knowledge about the one who created it. Where did we come from? Did we make ourselves? No, that's kind of dumb it? No, but it had to be from God, Allah Almighty, He created all of us. So if we know that, and we said he created it, this is a good kind of knowledge. Now there are some people that deny it. They say no, everything happened by accident. Some people say we came from monkeys.
That's pretty good. When you consider if we came from monkeys, how come we still have monkeys today?
So obviously, we as Muslims, we don't believe that silliness. However, there are people who believe that they don't want to believe in God, they want to believe in the monkey idea.
Again, though, the prophet gave us enough information for us to understand that there really is God. We really came from Adam.
And one of the things that we talked about early program, we said that in every country in the world, in every language in the world, the name for the first man is Adam.
Now how could it be all over the earth, even in China, even in Russia,
Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Africa,
America,
Australia, everybody's saying, Adam, it's not a coincidence. It's because human beings know where they came from.
And none of them said the first man was named monkey.
The second knowledge is after yourself is to know your Lord. What do we know about the law? Well, we know Allah is the Creator. That's very important to know. But what else do we know about the law? Well, Ally's very fair, very, very fair. He gives everybody a good chance. mentioned that yesterday. He keeps giving people a chance. That's why it says profit.
stood for they give us a good chance. So please don't do this. Don't do that. Do this, that and so on top of all of this gives us a chance to learn more, and to do more to make a lot happier with it.
And I was thinking, what other knowledge? Well, there's another kind of knowledge. The third kind of knowledge is called the knowledge of the dunya. Doing this is the Arabic word, which means everything in the world, the worldly things. Now today, there's no doubt that the human beings are looking all over the dunya the worldly things for information, knowledge, and they want to use it, put it to work.
Like, how can we get more energy? We need to move cars and airplanes and things around the world, we'll get this energy and knowledge. And how will we have better food and more of it? And how can we get water from the ground and use it properly, all of these things are knowledge that we need, and you see us working with that. But it's dangerous if we forget the other kinds of knowledge that we have. Because if we only think about the matters of the world, we will forget about the matters of ourselves, the proper things that we need for ourselves, and especially our need to know about our Lord, our Creator, which is a lot.
We're doing pretty well. But I feel certain areas need attention. Firstly, no counting machine for more efficient operation and the top brands available on
NPM. And these prophets when they come, the main thing they stress to us was to know our Lord, because most people are going to use their knowledge about themselves, you will do that you wake up in the morning, you want to know, okay, I need to brush my teeth, I need to take care of put my clothes I you know, things I have to do. This is self knowledge. Also how to take care of myself, maybe I need to relax, maybe I need to sleep, maybe I need to just like chill out something like that. All those things that most people do take care of.
And of course, I already mentioned that we're taking care of the matters of the world. Things that I want, like get money, get education, have a bigger house, have a nice car, those are worldly things. But when we forget about the most important thing is the knowledge of our Lord, then we're gonna have a big problem. I'll give you example one. In some countries today that I visited, I found the people, they don't want to believe anything anymore. They just gave up. They don't refer to their profits anymore. They don't think about that. They just want to believe as we talked about this idea, everything comes by accident. So what do you think happens?
When they get what they want, they're very happy. Very happy. They want a job. They want money. They want a house, they want position. They want power, when they get it.
They like to dance Act, the same guy who made music go crazy. And they're happy, happy, happy. Until What? feel they don't have it anymore, then what happens? Then they become very sad, or very angry. Yeah. So here's something that you can think about what will happen if you live in a place
that will take care of you, some countries, they will take care of people who get in that shape, you don't have money anymore. They said, okay, you don't need any money, we'll just let you stay in housing. Okay, so I don't need to worry. And then if I get sick, don't worry, the government will take care of your health. So you said okay, I don't need to worry about that. And then what you know, if you need education, you don't have any money. Don't worry, we're gonna send you to school. So the more that the society or the group of people you live, and the more they take care of each other, like that is nice thing. It really is nice. But if the people begin to depend on that, and
they forget about their creative, they forget about their Lord, the one who created them, then what will happen? I'm gonna show you something. Think about this. So people start to think that the government is going to do everything or society is going to take care of them. Now what happens? They lose their job. They said, okay, you take care of me. government said today, we don't have any money.
We can't take care of you today. We don't have any money.
Now, what will they do?
Or they'll say, Well, you can't keep the big house, you have to move to a small house. Oh, I don't want to be in a small house. So you can't have your crying anymore. Now. We have to take your car, you can ride the bus, oh, I don't want to ride the bus.
And I'm sick. Well, we'll give you treatment, but you have to wait a few weeks. But I'm saying now. Nope, too bad. We don't have enough money. So then the people become unhappy with the situation. They get very unhappy with it. So they start thinking what can I do? I don't like this life. I don't get what I want. And even the people who have money don't always get what they want. When you have money doesn't always make you happy? No, because I want this I want that but I'm still not happy. So then some people they will start to
drink alcohol, they will take drugs, they will do bad things, trying to find happiness. But they won't find it like that. They can't find it. They're looking outside for happiness. They don't find it. Then what happens? Then eventually, some people, they get so angry. So mean, they start hurting people, they start doing bad things, because they can't find this happiness. Until finally some people, they will even kill themselves. I was in one country, that people told me that their country, they were the first ones to reject religion, just kick out religion. I said, Oh, you don't like religion. They said, most people here, we don't want to believe in God. I said, and guess what
else? I said What else? They said, we're number one in the world for people who commit suicide, people who kill themselves. I said, What?
To kill themselves.
And you have the most people killing themselves? I said, Yes. I said, think about this. Have you just said that your country is the place where most people kill themselves? And you said people don't believe anything here? Why don't you make a connection here and figure it out. Because when you don't have the money, you don't have the power. You don't have the things you want in this life. There's a place you can go and get what you need, you know, where? inside your heart. Because if you believe in God, if you believe in Allah, you go inside your heart, and you talk to God in your heart. Did you know that you can talk to God and heart direct, because that's what the prophets
taught us to do. You don't have to have a rock, or a stone, or a stick, or a bone, or something like this, that you can turn through that.
Now some people think that they can have like, a lucky charm that will bring them good luck. Have you heard about me? And my country? You know, I'm from Texas, right? And Texas, many people, they like the idea of a horseshoe. And they said the shoe from the horse. You see the shoe from the horse that really shoes, his piece of metal in it. And it goes kind of like you they said this is good. And in some places, they put it like this on the wall. And they said it catches all the good stuff.
And other places, they put it like this. And they said no, it makes stuff come down. It's good. And so you guys can even make it my own to turn it this way.
But anyway, I was thinking if it's such good luck, what about the horse? It's walking around with only three shoes.
Because you've got his other shoe on the wall. And then some people said a rabbit's foot is good luck. Did you ever hear about that? a rabbit's foot is good luck. And some people used to put the foot of a rabbit or real rabbit on a chain and carry like for good luck. I say well, it sure wasn't good luck with a rabbit was
the rabbit going on crutches right? Man them guides and their luck.
Well, anyway,
the profits when they came, were telling us how to get the right kind of knowledge, use it the right way. And then it's a benefit for you here. And it's a benefit for you and the next life. Because this for sure. The life you're in right now you're going to die. Nobody is going to get away from that every person who is born has already died or they will die. And a lot told us about this in the Quran. He said, Who knew nothing that ecotone mode, every single so we'll take that all of us are going to die.
But what's important is to know what to do here. So when you go to the next world you're prepared for it makes sense. Okay, I want you to think now, when a person dies, what's going to happen? Can you guess?
Not really need to have somebody to tell you. But how can somebody come back after they die? They can come back to you. They left they can't come back? Some people by the way. They think that the spirit of somebody dead came back and talk to them. They call it a ghost. If you heard about ghosts, heard about spirits.
Have you? Yeah. And they said oh yeah, somebody's dead mother came back or the grandfather came back and was telling them this and that and moving chairs around all kinds of stuff.
But we came to know that in reality, this is not spirits from a dead person. It's the gym. Remember the gym we talked about? Yeah, the jinn were created after Allah created angels. Angels. Give you a little review angels are created from light
gems.
created from a fire without smoke, and humans are created from the earth. Right? Now, can we see light and all the time, you can only see what light reflects off of. So we don't see the angels. And the law wants us to.
Same thing is for the jinn because there's no smoke without fire, it's a pure fire, you don't see it. So for the most part, we don't see the gin either. And
so sometimes when people are seeing these spirits, or hearing these voices talking to them,
and they hear
God talking to them, that's not even Angel stuffing them who is talking to them, the gin, the shift on the devil's going, which was was what Swiss was, right. So this is why it's important for us to know what the profits folder is, because they bring these things to us. Some things are in detail, and other things are general, but you can figure it out for yourself. You don't have to be a rocket scientist, or a genius, to know, up from down good from bad. And certainly that's how experiments bring in a very simple way that you can understand.
We already talked about who the profits are and who did not. Because we talked about the false prophets. A little bit more about the false prophets is that some of these false prophets, they're not real prophets. They wanted to make money from people or get control or power over them. And they told them that they were prophets, but they really weren't. Some guys even went more than that. And they said they were God. Remember, we talked about him rude and how he told people He was God? What a guy. So I thought today I mentioned to me something about what happened to him, Luke. Now, Abraham, peace be upon him. But it's having this argument with nimue. about who is the one that
gives life and death.
And Abraham said, My Lord gives life and death you move did what he brought, some people killed some and let them go. He said, See, I give life and death and you remember what?
You remember. You remember what Abraham said when he said, My Lord makes the sun come up in the morning to make it come up in the West? Oh, man as a good one. But Nimrod was a real case. He had a problem after he moved the memory through him in the firing to Abraham and the fire alarm made the fire cool for him. Well, let me say what happened later. The mood was so really really wacky. And he thought he had so much power. So a lot destroyed him. And the coolest way in order law did a law made a teeny tiny
little bit like smaller than a mosquito, smaller than an you know, like a nap. Go inside of the ear of new mood. emerge telling people he's the rub the Lord of the world.
And he's a big shock. But allow me to go inside of here. creepy, creepy, creepy, creepy, creepy, right down, right down to this tube. It's right up against the brain. And right there the bug bidding
like that. And when the bug video, he was like,
Oh my god, that hurts. What is that? Something in my head? Oh, it hurts. I'm sure it made a lot of noise too. I don't know. But I can imagine, because I had something in my ear one time and it was really painful. But this was worse. And it would go and you'd be like,
so the people around him tried to help him. They didn't know what to do. And he was getting really angry. And
somebody said, What shall we do? And they were trying to do this and that and finally somebody took the shoe that used to wear wooden shoes.
And they hit the side of the road head down with the shoe.
And it stopped hurting. He said Ah, that's just right. I'm okay. I'm alright. And then the bug
was a Jew again. And they kept biting him and hitting him and bom bom bom until he died. That's how he died. Then he said he was the Lord of the worlds he said he was God.
Oh, by the way, God, you're dead. Hello.
You know what? We have a thing. I wonder. I don't know. We have a saying about don't bug me. I wonder if it has anything to do or being bugged to death.
So we'll end as we started.
