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.
