00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			I greet all the dignitaries who have graced
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			this occasion.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			Good afternoon, doctor Zakir Nye. I greet my
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			fellow student.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			I'm a 300 level student of mass communication,
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			National State University, KEP.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			My name's, Ajwang, your philosophy.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			In the course of your summon, doctor Zakir
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			Naidu What's your name? What's your name, brother?
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			My name is, Ajwang Tiofilos Yakubu.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			Yakub? Yes, sir. Yes.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			Are you a Muslim or a Christian? I'm
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			a Christian. Okay. Yes, brother. Continue.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			In the course of your, sermon,
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			you gave the concept of God in different,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:49
			religion,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			which, Islam is one of them, which you
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			say, Islam believe in Tawhid, which means Islam
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			believe in 1 God.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			And in
		
00:00:59 --> 00:00:59
			many,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			verses in Quran,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			you've,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			see that when God is, speaking,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			he used the pronouns of we, we. Even
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			when he was creating, like in Quran chapter
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			95 verse 4, he said that we created
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			man in the best design. He used that,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			pronoun as in we,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			which means that
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			it is not only 1 it was not
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			only 1 divine being that was speaking,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			which means there are he was with other
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:28
			beings.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			You understand? I understand your question very well.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			I'll give the reply.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:34
			Brother Yaqub
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			Yes, sir. I know Christian you are called
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			Jacob. First time I'm meeting a Christian called
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			Yaqub.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			Half Muslim already.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:44
			Insha'Allah,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			we pray to Allah to give you.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			You already changed from Jacob to Yaqub.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			Now from a false Christian to a true
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			Christian, Insha'Allah.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			Brother Yaqub has asked a question
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			that the Quran
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			says, v.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			The Arabic word he wanted to tell is,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			we. The Arabic word is which
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			means we. So when the Quran refers to
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			we,
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			doesn't it mean more than 1 God? So
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			even the Quran talks about multiple gods. That's
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			the question.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			Let me remind you brother Yaqub.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			Do you know English well?
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			Yes. Do you know in English language, there
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			are 2 types of plural. 1 is the
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			plural of number.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			If there are more than 1, we say
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			we. 1 is the plural of respect.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			When the queen of England speaks,
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			she says we.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			When the royal family,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			when the have you heard the Queen of
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			England speaking?
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			Or the King of England,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			Prince King Charles? No, it's not something. He
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			will not say I. He will say,
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			vie. Even in Urdu.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			Urdu, there is plural of number, plural of
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			respect. When someone of the royal family, he'll
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			not say my, he'll say
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			So anyone from the royal family
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			when they speak
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			in most of the languages whether it be
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			English, whether it be Urdu, whether it be
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			other languages, most of the languages there are
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			2 types of plural. One is plural of
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			number
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			and the other is plural of respect. So
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			if you have not heard the queen of
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			England speaking or the king of England speaking,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			they say we. They are 1.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			How many king of England do you have?
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			1. But he says, we.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			So this is the language. If you don't
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			know language, what can I do?
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			The same thing in Arabic. In Arabic, when
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			Allah says,
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			when Allah is saying we, no Arab will
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			say there are 2 gods or 3 gods.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			Because the Arab knows Arabic.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			Arab knows Arabic. You know English,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			so you should understand that this is also
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			royal plural. Hope that answers the question. Can
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			I say something?
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			Have you understood the answer? I understand what
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			you're saying. So do you understand the Quran
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			refers to v as a royal plural, 1
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			single. Correct? Yes. But I want to say
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			something. If you have a next question, no
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			problem. First say, okay. Thank you. I've understood
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			the first answer. Then you can go to
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			the next question. Unless you don't say understood
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			the first question, I will not allow you
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			to ask the next question. I understand.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			Very good. Good. But I want to Now
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			you can ask the next question.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			Like during the creation when Allah is creating
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			the earth
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			because Sorry? During the creation? Yes. When Allah
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			is creating the earth, he used the just
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			like we say use
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			we. Like creation, it is only God that
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			is capable of creating
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			other things.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			So why didn't he use that I
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:36
			created man in the best, design instead of
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			using that way? Because he's the only one.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			I told you the answer, yet you're asking
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			same answer. Why did Allah not say I?
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			That's Allah's wish. When King Charles is speaking,
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			sometimes he says I, sometimes he says we
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			that his prerogative,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			who am I to interfere?
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			Are you God?
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			God can call. Sometimes he calls, I. Sometimes
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			he calls, we. That is the beauty.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			Why did he say, that's God. Correct?
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			I'm I'm a doctor. Correct?
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			Sometimes people call me Sheikh Zakir. No problem.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			Sometimes people call me Akhid Zakir. Brother Zakir,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			no problem. Sometimes people call me doctor.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			Oh, why don't you call him doctor always?
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			I have no problem.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			Why do you have a problem?
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			Do you understand?
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			Yes. I'm a doctor.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			Medical doctor
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20
			and a PhD doctor, both. Correct?
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			Now when someone calls me Sheikh Zakir, no
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			problem. Someone calls me,
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			no problem. Brother no problem.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			So when Allah wants, sometimes you use the
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			z, sometimes you use the So what's your
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:33
			problem?
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			So now now you are half Muslim.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			Do you believe there's one God?
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			Now do you believe there's one God? I
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			believe there is God is,
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			1 in being and 3 in person. That's
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			what I believe, because I'm a Christian.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			You you believe in trinity? Yes, sir. Can
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			you point out one verse in the bible
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			which speaks about trinity?
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			The Trinity doesn't exist in the Bible. Do
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			you know that?
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			The word Trinity doesn't exist in the Bible
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:06
			but
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			but the word trinity is there in the
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			Quran.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			Do you know that?
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			Do you know that that the word trinity
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			doesn't exist in the Bible? You give me
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			reference, I will agree.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			Tell me one place where the Bible
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23
			says the word Trinity.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			Even though What the Quran says? Even though
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			there is not the word in the bible.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			This is the problem. But You don't follow
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			the bible. I follow bible. But that doesn't
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			mean that. I follow bible more than you.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			That the reason I said, brother, Yaqub.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			Therefore, I said, I'm more Christian than you
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			because I follow bible more than what you
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			follow. Okay. You said about 1,000 Let me
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			educate you. Let me educate you. The bible
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			doesn't talk about trinity. Quran talks. Quran says
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:56
			in surah chapter 4 verse number 171.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			Don't say tinnity.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			They say stop it, it's better for you.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			Quran is telling you, don't say tinnity.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			The word tinnity is in the Quran. Stop
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			it. It's better for you. Quran repeats the
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			message in Surah Maidah, chapter number 5 verse
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			number 53.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			They are doing kufur. They are blaspheming
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			those who say God is 3 in 1,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			Trinity.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			But why is it that, Talmud
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			is not mentioned in the Let me finish.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			Is not mentioned. Do you want to learn
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			about the Bible or not? You are not
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			telling me anything. I'm a Christian Christian, not
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			following bible. I'm teaching you all the bible,
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			you want to listen. That means you're interested
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			in becoming a better Christian. Correct?
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			When someone is talking to you about the
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			bible, you want to keep. This is the
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			problem. Can I say That means you are
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			programmed to create
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			problem? Correct? Can I say something?
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			You know you cannot say.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:54
			Okay.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			You cannot say because I want to educate
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			you. You mentioned You were saying I believe
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			in trinity, something with the bible doesn't say.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			So how come you said you are a
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			Christian? You mentioned tawhid, but can you give
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			me one verse from the Quran that, mentioned
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			tawhid so that I just want to know.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			Say the one verse. Suray class.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			Suray
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			class, chapter number 112,
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			verse number 1.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:30
			Say the law will only.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			What is the problem? But you didn't mention
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			when you are reciting. Yes, it is. I
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:36
			had.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			No. Man. Not a toy. He just he
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			didn't mention the tahhid in that verse that
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			he caught it. I found telling you.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			The word. I don't mean the word. The
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			word the word is not in the Quran.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:51
			The word,
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			it is not in the Quran. Can you
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			give me a chance? The word.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			If I say
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			is Arabic word coming from the root word
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			you have heard from some Christian which they
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			say, so it is not any repeating. The
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			word of other than the Quran.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			You honestly, you don't know. You don't know
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			Arabic, that's your problem.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			I'm still insisting. There is no the word
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			Quran. I'm telling you it is there. You
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			know Arabic guys. You don't know Arabic. The
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			word is there in the Quran.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			Wahada is the origination
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			of the word tawhid,
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			meaning to unite, to unify, to consolidate. Now
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			coming to your question of
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			Trinity.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:42
			The one verse in the Bible,
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:46
			which doesn't say Trinity, but some very close.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			Close to Trinity, a first epistle of John,
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			chapter number 5 verse number 7. For there
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			are 3 that bear record in heaven, the
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			father,
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			the holy ghost, and the word.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			And these 3 are 1. 1st epistle of
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			John,
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			chapter number 5, verse number 7. For there
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			are 3 that bear record in heaven. The
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			father, the holy ghost, and the word. And
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:08
			these 3 are 1.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			This is the closest.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			But do you know, according to the scholars
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:13
			of Christianity,
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15
			even this verse is a fabrication.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			So in the revised standard version,
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:21
			this was first epistle of John. Chapter number
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			5, verse number 7, has been removed from
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			the bible as a fabrication, as a concoction,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			as interpolation.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			By whom? Not by Muslims,
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			not by Hindus, by title scholars of the
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:36
			highest evidence, backed by 50 different corporate denomination.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			If you read the RSV Bible, the white
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:41
			standard version of the Bible, this verse has
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			been thrown out from the Bible.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			Because Jesus Christ, peace be upon when you
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:45
			are last.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			Jesus Christ, peace be upon, clearly mentioned in
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			the gospel of John, chapter number 14, verse
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:53
			number 28. My father is greater than I.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			Gospel of John, chapter number 10, verse number
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			29. My father is greater than all. Gospel
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			of Matthew, chapter number 12, verse number 28.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			I cast out devil with the spirit of
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04
			God. Gospel of Luke chapter number 11 verse
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			number 20. I with the finger of what
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			cast out devil. Gospel of John chapter number
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			5 verse number 30. I can of my
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			own self do nothing. Either here I judge
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			and my judgement is just for I seek
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			not my will but the will of my
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:15
			father.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			He never claimed liberty. When he was asked
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			which is the first of the commandment, it's
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			mentioned in the gospel of Mark chapter number
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			12 verse number 29.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			You're, O Israel, the lord, our god is
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			one god.
