AI: Summary ©

The Bible is a simple translation and has many things in it that agree with it, but the Bible is arguing with itself. It uses the example of the birth of a baby and gives examples of translation and comparisons. The speakers emphasize the importance of giving da absorption to non-Muslims and avoiding confusion and mistakes. The Bible is also used for teaching and provides da bias to people. The speakers give advice on giving daily bread to receive the daily bread of Jesus and encourage people to give back to the church. The conversation is difficult to follow and appears to be a discussion of religion and religion.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			Masha'Allah.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			Alhamdulillah rabbil alameen.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			Huwa alladhi ja'alna muslimeen.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			Wa salat wa salam wa rasool wa kareem.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			Wa ala alihi wa sabiha ajma'een.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			Ashadu la ilaha illallah.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:28
			Wa ashadu anna muhammadin abduhu wa rasool.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			Did you think this was going to be
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:32
			in English?
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:34
			Huh?
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			Yeah, well, it is.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			Texas English.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			Alhamdulillah rabbil alameen.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:51
			He already stole my first joke about being
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:59
			useless, but I feel useful after all of
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:03
			the things that we just heard and all
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			of the people that were sitting there with
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:05
			me.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			I was really impressed.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:19
			And the brother just told us about things
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:24
			that could go wrong in giving dawah because
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			he said, and you heard him say it,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:34
			about calling Isa Jesus.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			Is that a problem?
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			Do you think that's a problem?
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			Well, maybe it is.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:49
			I don't know.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:02:03
			But I use those two distinct names
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:10
			for Isa, because when I'm talking to the
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			Muslims, I call him Isa.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:18
			But when I'm talking to a non-Muslim,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:22
			then I have to say Jesus because they
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			don't know who we're talking about.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:33
			Anyway, so the topic today is the Quran
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			and the Bible.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			But I don't have either one of them
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			right here.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			Do you know that?
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			This is not the Quran.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			This is not the Bible.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:53
			Why?
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			You got it.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			Because they're translations.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			A translation is not the same as the
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			real deal.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:15
			And there are some good translations, but they
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:19
			will never equal what Allah said in the
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			Bible or in the Quran.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:29
			We have probably closer to the meaning.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			Well, this is...
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:36
			I'm wrong about that because this is the
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:40
			Quran with translation to the English language.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			Yeah, so...
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			Anyway.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:47
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			But this one is all in English.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			And I know that because it's placed by
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			the Gideon Society in a hotel or motel
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			somewhere.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			And they picked it up.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:05
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			Where did they agree?
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			And this is important because if you're giving
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:22
			dawah to a non-Muslim, especially a Christian,
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			you need to be able to communicate on
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			his side.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:34
			And I want to focus now on the
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			idea of...
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			the general idea of giving dawah.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:46
			If you would like a debate, hang out
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			with Dr. Zakir Naik.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			But if you would like to get people
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:59
			to Islam, and especially if you're in your
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:03
			own community, this is not the best idea
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			to start a debate.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:11
			Because you make a lot of enemies when
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			you debate.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:17
			You win some, but you lose some.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			Is that right or wrong?
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:23
			Yeah.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			The idea is...
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			I'm going to walk away from this microphone
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			in a second.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			Because you draw a line.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			And on the other side of that line
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			is the person you're debating with.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:53
			But you want to pull them over and
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			talk to them gently.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			And make the other side of the line
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			for the shaitan.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			And tell them that.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			We don't want a debate.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:12
			Because a debate brings a lot of heat,
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			but not very much light.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			This is one of the basic principles in
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			the dawah.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:26
			Is you have to give the service to
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			the person.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			The Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, was famous
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			for that.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			He was a very humble person.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			And very gentle.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			Very quiet.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			Can you imagine him taking a microphone and
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			shouting out at the people?
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:47
			No.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			No.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			This is the example that Allah has given
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			us.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:15
			When he said in the Quran, Say, if
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:21
			you really love Allah, follow me.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			That's talking about the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:24
			sallam.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			Then Allah will love you.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			Ah.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			I want Allah to love me.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			So I want to follow the Prophet, sallallahu
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:35
			alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			And then the rest of it, it says,
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			he will forgive your sins, because he is
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			the forgiver, the merciful.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			Alhamdulillah rabbil alamin.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:55
			So, what is the commonality between the two
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			books?
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:04
			Even in the translation, they still talk about,
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10
			at the very beginning of the Bible, it
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			talks about the creator.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:17
			And it tells you that in six periods
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:22
			of time, Allah created the entire universe.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27
			And then he created mankind.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:32
			The last of his creations was the human
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:32
			being.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			He created angels.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			Then he created the jinn.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:42
			But the very last, he created the human
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			beings.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:50
			And that was a problem for one of
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			the jinn.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			And everybody knows who that is, right?
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			Yeah.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			But this is not about that.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:07
			This is about keeping the jinn away, or
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			the shayateen, away from us while we are
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:13
			trying to give the dawah.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			And how can you do that?
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:23
			Well, you can start out by reciting Ayatul
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:23
			Kursi.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:28
			Allahu la ilaha illa huwa al hayyu kayyum
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:35
			la takhuduhu sinatun wa la naum Ah, that
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:42
			is the problem with the first pages of
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			the Bible.
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:49
			Because it says clearly in the Bible that
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52
			on the seventh day, God rested.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:10:00
			Ah, Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't need
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			to sleep or rest, or he doesn't get
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:07
			weary, he doesn't wear out like we do.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:13
			And yeah, he keeps on going and going
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:14
			and going.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:19
			That rabbit with the batteries that you see
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			on TV, you know what I'm talking about?
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:29
			He will run out of the battery, but
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			Allah will never run out on you.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:37
			If, and this is the basic of the
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:40
			giving dawah, start with the things that are
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:41
			real simple.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			Don't load them up all at once.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			What is the simplest thing?
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:56
			Talk about what Allah says in the Quran.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			About what?
		
00:10:59 --> 00:10:59
			About what?
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			About peace.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			Ah, okay.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			And about wisdom.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			Alright.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:16
			Then when we get the person relaxed, you
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:19
			can open up and ask questions.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:26
			The last program I did here, we talked
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:29
			about the questions, the three questions.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			Anybody remember what they were?
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:36
			Anybody here was in the first one we
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:36
			did?
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			Anybody?
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:39
			Yeah?
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42
			Do you remember the three questions?
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			Is there a God?
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			Yeah, you got it.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:58
			And if the person says no, this was
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:02
			in our first program, if the person says
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:07
			there is no God, you can ask him
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			a second question.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			Can we prove it?
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			Include yourself with it.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			Can we prove there is no God?
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			Because we're looking at a lot of stuff
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:28
			around us all the time.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			But don't take it for granted.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:38
			Because the science is on our side.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:48
			Because the Quran clearly tells us and it
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:52
			doesn't make any mistakes in what it has
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53
			to offer.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:57
			And it came 1400 years ago.
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			Think about that.
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:02
			With no mistake.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:06
			So talk about the Quran from a positive
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			point.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:12
			And mention that in the Bible, some of
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:19
			the things are really good for a translation.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:24
			Some of the things in the Quran are
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			a good translation.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:29
			But both of them fall short of the
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:35
			mark of representing what Allah or God Almighty
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			really said.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:45
			The idea of giving the dawah is a
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:46
			simple idea.
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			Really simple.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54
			Anybody can do it.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:00
			Anybody can do dawah to someone.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:08
			However, you can't control the reaction you're going
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:09
			to get back.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			Because that's another person.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:12
			Right?
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			So think about this.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:22
			If you have something that agrees with what
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			they already think.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:29
			Ah, number one.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:32
			It starts out with talking about the creation.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			So talk about the creation.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38
			Talk about it from the standpoint of the
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			Quran.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:45
			But include the opportunity for them to say
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			what they have.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			And then listen quietly.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:56
			Because there are things in the Bible translation
		
00:14:57 --> 00:15:02
			that agree with the Quran translation.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:10
			In fact, I spent two years going over
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:10
			it.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:17
			Comparing the Bible to the Quran translations.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:27
			And I found that the Quran agrees
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:30
			totally with the Bible.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:39
			Except where the Bible, what?
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:46
			Except the Bible is arguing with itself.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50
			That's the mistakes.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:55
			For instance, we just put up something today
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:57
			on the internet.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:03
			Talking about, and you can go to Islamnewsroom
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:06
			.com and see it.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			Because we spent a lot of effort and
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			time working with this.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:19
			Talking about the things that are in the
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:19
			Bible.
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:24
			We're talking about something that says in the
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:25
			Old Testament.
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			In the book of Exodus.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:33
			Talking about, no it's in the book of
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34
			Numbers, yeah.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:41
			The book of Numbers 23.19. You'll find
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:46
			it, it says, God is not a man.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:52
			And God is not the son of man.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:58
			What did Jesus call himself in the Bible?
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:03
			In the translation of the Bible it says,
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:08
			He was always saying, 78 times I think.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:14
			He was saying he's the son of man.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			He didn't say he was the son of
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:17
			God.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:23
			Actually, there is someone that called himself the
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			son of God.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:27
			And that was Daoud.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			In the book of Psalms in the Old
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			Testament.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:35
			Yeah, he said, that I will tell you
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:35
			something.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			And he was having a crowd around him.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			And he said, I will tell you something
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			that God told me today.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48
			You are my son, this day I have
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			begotten you.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:55
			That is the only person in the whole
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:55
			Bible.
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			That has the right to say that.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			And I don't even know if he has
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:03
			that right.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:08
			But he said, I was called the son
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			of God today.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:16
			Ah, and begotten of God Almighty.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:24
			So when we get to the New Testament.
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:28
			We find that this is the opposite.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:33
			They were trying to say what Jesus didn't
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:33
			say.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			In the red letter edition of the Holy
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			Bible.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			The red letter edition.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			Only what Jesus said is in red.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:51
			So it's real easy to figure out what
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:51
			he said.
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:56
			And you will never see anything in the
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			red letter edition.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:03
			With Jesus saying, I'm God, worship me.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:06
			Yeah.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			You won't find it.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:13
			But you will find a lot of miracles
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			that he did.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:20
			But what is the first miracle that Jesus
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			did?
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			What is the first one?
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			According to us.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			According to Muslims.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:32
			Anybody know?
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:35
			Yeah?
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:36
			What?
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:52
			He was a baby.
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:53
			Yeah.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:58
			And he was just a few days old.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			Babies don't even make noise.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:03
			Except ah, ah, ah.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			At three days old.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:06
			Right?
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:12
			But his mother was carrying him.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			And Subhanallah.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			I thought about this at Christmas time.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			He spoke from the cradle.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:29
			Every display you have of the Christmas scene.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			They have a cradle in it.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:31
			Right?
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35
			They have a place to put the baby.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:36
			Huh?
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			But they don't know the story behind it.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			They just assume.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			Okay, the baby is born.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:45
			Needs a cradle.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:46
			No.
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			He was speaking from the cradle.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			Time for a coffee break.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			Serious.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:32
			Yeah.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			Now I feel good.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:51
			When we're talking about giving dawah to people.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			You have to relax.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			And don't feel like everybody is watching you.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			And if you do.
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:07
			If you're in a church or a school
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			or something.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			Talking about Islam.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:13
			And you feel nervous.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			The best thing you can do.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			And from experience.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:21
			I know this.
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			You can tell the crowd.
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:28
			I feel anxious.
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:30
			I feel, you know.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:34
			Like you guys are not going to like
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			it.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:35
			Ha.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:40
			Because that means they're all on your side
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			right away.
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			Because they feel sorry for you.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:48
			And they feel like if I was up
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:48
			there.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			What would I say?
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:51
			Ah.
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54
			So make it easy.
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			Make it easy on yourself.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			Make it easy for the person.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:06
			Because you're really doing something that you were
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:07
			created to do.
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:11
			Share the message.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:15
			If you don't know much about the message.
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			Just share what you know.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			But this is not about giving dawah.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:26
			As much as it is about comparing the
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:26
			books.
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:37
			And my talk was not about beating up
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			the Bible with the Quran.
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:43
			But talking about where they come together.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:49
			And especially if you get the point across.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:58
			The Quran translations are not the Quran.
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			And they have mistakes in them.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:09
			Because nobody can bring a book like the
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10
			real Quran.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:18
			And if it's in French, Italian, Greek or
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:18
			English.
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:22
			It's still going to have problems.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:27
			The only one that is the real Quran
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:32
			is in the Arabic language.
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:37
			Get that in your mind before you walk
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:38
			out the door.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:45
			Because this, well, this does have the Arabic
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:46
			in it.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:51
			But the English falls short of the mark.
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			You have to have a lot of English
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			to explain a few ayahs.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:02
			Notice that there are probably 1, 2, 3,
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:06
			4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			12, 13, maybe 15.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:17
			That's the average in a Musab.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:24
			However, look at the small text out at
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			the side.
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:30
			Pages and pages of a lot of, and
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			then they don't even explain all of it.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:39
			Because the Arabic is really like an ocean.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:45
			And the English is like that cup.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:46
			Yeah?
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:52
			It's good, but it will not hold the
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			ocean, will it?
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:54
			No.
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:57
			So get that in your mind.
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:03
			So when you talk about the translation of
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:03
			the Quran.
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:07
			And we do give out a lot of
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:08
			translations of the Quran.
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:17
			And we have a website for that, afreequran
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			.com.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:24
			We only give it out to people in
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			the United States and Canada.
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:30
			Because it costs too much money to send
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:30
			it.
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:36
			Anyway, if you want to give out the
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:37
			Quran.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:41
			And you say it's a translation of the
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:42
			meaning.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:44
			That's a good thing.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			That's a very good thing.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:48
			Don't say this is the Quran.
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			This is a translation of the Quran.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:55
			Because you will find a lot of things
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:56
			that agree.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			If they will just open it up.
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:05
			And then they think most of the Christians
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			believe this is the Bible.
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			But if you read it in the Old
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:13
			Testament.
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:20
			It talks about the books coming with Moses.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:27
			And it talks about that in a sweet
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:27
			way.
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:31
			He came down the mountain.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:35
			And he had all of the commandments with
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:35
			him.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:39
			And then he saw the children of Israel.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:45
			Worshipping a golden calf.
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:50
			And he lost it.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:54
			And the Bible says he threw it down.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			And broke it up.
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:57
			And they had to go back and get
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:58
			another one.
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:04
			We don't have that exactly thing.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			But you can compare that.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:10
			And say, well, Moses, number one.
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			He killed a man.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:16
			Well, that's in the Bible.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:18
			He killed a man.
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:19
			One shot.
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:20
			Bam.
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:23
			Alright.
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			So that's a comparison.
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:33
			And the comparison is not exact.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:43
			However, you can get a lot of streamlined
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:45
			footage.
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:52
			Because in this, in the Bible.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:56
			There are places where it has a beautiful
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			thing.
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:02
			In the New Testament.
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:06
			It has two times.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:10
			Something that we only have a problem with
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:11
			one word.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:15
			The translation of the Bible.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:19
			Says that Jesus told them how to pray.
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:27
			He didn't talk about raka or sujud.
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			But he did tell them what to say.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:35
			And it goes like this.
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			Our father which art in heaven.
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:40
			Hallowed be thy name.
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:42
			Thy kingdom come.
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:43
			Thy will be done.
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			On earth as it is in heaven.
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:50
			Give us this day our daily bread.
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:54
			And forgive us our trespasses.
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:59
			As we forgive those who trespass against us.
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:02
			Ah.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06
			And it ends with.
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:10
			For yours is the kingdom and the power
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:11
			forever and ever.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			Amen.
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:17
			The only problem we have is with the
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:18
			first part of it.
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:20
			Our father.
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:22
			We don't say that.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			We say our lord.
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:29
			Our Allah.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			But we don't say our father.
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:39
			Because the Quran is really explicitly clear about
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:40
			this.
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:45
			Do not associate anything with Allah.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			As a partner.
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:54
			And definitely a father and a son are
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:54
			partners.
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:57
			Anyway.
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:04
			To get back to the idea of where
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:05
			it comes together.
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:07
			We feel.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:11
			We.
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:16
			I think we could say that we feel
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:26
			a bit uneasy.
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:29
			When we try to give the dawah.
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:31
			Right.
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:35
			If you've given dawah before.
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			You know how it starts out.
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:40
			You know how.
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:44
			How did I do?
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:45
			How did I do?
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:53
			But the people are not guided by you.
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:55
			They're guided by Allah.
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:01
			I'll tell you something that happened to me.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:05
			And I was.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:08
			Seriously.
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:12
			Trying to get the dawah going.
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:14
			In Texas.
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:17
			That was 30 years ago.
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:26
			My wife was talking with people.
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:27
			They would ask her.
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:30
			Why are you covering your face up?
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:31
			You know.
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:34
			And she would talk to the ladies.
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			And then she would bring them out to
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:37
			the car.
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:38
			If she was shopping.
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			Or bring them over to the house.
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:44
			And she did all the work.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:47
			All I did was give them the shahada.
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:53
			Maybe a hundred.
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:55
			I don't know.
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:58
			She did a real good job.
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:01
			But the idea.
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:04
			I wanted to get it out.
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:12
			And I tried so hard to manipulate the
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:12
			people.
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:17
			But Allah wasn't having it.
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:23
			As soon as I started asking questions.
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:26
			And letting the people talk.
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:30
			I found that that was the way to
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:30
			go.
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:31
			For me.
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:35
			It was so easy.
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:37
			You ask them.
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:38
			Is there really a God?
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:39
			Okay.
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:42
			And then listen to their answer.
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:45
			If they say I don't know.
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:46
			Or no.
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:47
			Well.
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:48
			Look around.
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:51
			The universe.
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:52
			It came from somewhere.
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:54
			Now.
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:58
			A lot of people have the idea.
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:00
			And that's why they're agnostic.
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:02
			Because they think.
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:03
			Well.
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:05
			It's God like us.
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:08
			The God of the Bible.
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:10
			Is just like us.
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:11
			He has arms.
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:12
			He has legs.
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:13
			And he has.
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:14
			You know.
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:18
			Appetite.
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:19
			He has to eat.
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:21
			He has to go to the bathroom.
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:23
			Because.
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:26
			They're told that Jesus is God.
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:29
			Oh.
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:30
			Man.
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:32
			This is a big.
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:34
			Big mistake.
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:35
			And.
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:37
			They know it.
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:39
			But they don't realize.
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:41
			That there is.
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:42
			Another.
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:44
			Way to look at it.
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:47
			Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:49
			Is.
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:50
			Ah.
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:53
			What he said he is.
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:56
			And.
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			If you understand.
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:00
			Rahma.
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:01
			Rahim.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:05
			That's good enough.
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:07
			That's the start.
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:09
			And talk about.
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:10
			The idea.
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:12
			Of Allah forgiving.
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:13
			Okay.
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:14
			Now.
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:16
			In the Hadith.
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:19
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam told us.
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:23
			That only one out of a thousand.
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:27
			Bring it up.
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:28
			Bring it up.
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:33
			Oh.
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:33
			Okay.
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:42
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:45
			So.
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:47
			They said wrap it up.
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:52
			The idea.
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:56
			Of sharing the message with the people.
		
00:35:57 --> 00:35:58
			Is really simple.
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:01
			You give.
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04
			Service.
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:07
			Just like the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam did.
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:10
			And you give advice.
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:12
			If they ask you.
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:15
			And then.
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:17
			Be.
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:21
			Aware of what they are saying.
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:22
			Because.
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:25
			The person.
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:27
			If they make Shahada.
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:30
			You will be so happy.
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:34
			And you will greet them as a brother.
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:35
			Which they are.
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:37
			Or a sister.
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:38
			Right.
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:40
			Yeah.
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:44
			But they are not your enemies.
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:47
			The Shaitan is your enemy.
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:51
			Some people.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:55
			And I am going to end with this.
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:57
			Some people.
		
00:36:58 --> 00:36:59
			Muslims.
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:00
			Have the idea.
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:01
			That.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:03
			The.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:04
			Jewish.
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:05
			Are.
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:06
			All.
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:07
			Our enemies.
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:11
			Because of what is happening in Palestine right
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:11
			now.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:13
			But that is not the truth.
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:18
			Even the worst person.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:23
			Can get Hedayah from Allah.
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:25
			Is that right or wrong?
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:29
			And we don't know.
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			Who the people are.
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:33
			That are going to get the Hedayah.
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:36
			The guidance of Allah.
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:37
			So.
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:38
			Take that.
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:41
			And chew on that for a while.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:43
			And think about that.
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:44
			And then.
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:49
			Be ready.
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:51
			For.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:52
			All of the people.
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:55
			That you will help get to Islam.
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:58
			As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh.
