Zakir Naik – A Christian Lady Accepts Islam

			I will have the next question from the mic of the sisters on the right hand sides. So the sister at
the mic, you may go ahead with your question. Good evening to everybody. This is prashanti das re,
I'm from India, and I'm actually a born Christian. And I migrated to Dubai recently, August 2011.
And I happen to, you know, I, I came to know about Islam. And my brother also here is in Dubai, and
he keeps telling us about Allah. I'm really convinced, and, you know, with all the, whatever
knowledge that he shared with me, I'm totally convinced. And that, you know, Islam is the straight
forward religion.
		

			And Allah is alpha is omega is the beginning and the his last, we cannot see son more than 10
minutes. So how can we see a creator? So am totally convinced, but there are some questions, you
know, that we have doubts, because since I'm a born Christian, I have four questions total four
questions to Brother Zach. And like, the first question is, brother, I've been listening to your
videos, you know, in YouTube, that you were talking about the Holy Spirit, and you specifically
mentioned that Holy Spirit exist.
		

			So I just wanted to know His Holy Spirit there in Islam, according to Quran.
		

			And also there is a worse in Old Testament Bible, that the Spirit of God is hovering over the
waters.
		

			Spirit of God, so his Holy Spirit a separate from Allah.
		

			This is my question, sister, those two questions.
		

			Question number one is that there is holy spirit. What is the meaning? And who is this Holy Spirit
as per the Quran as per Islam as compared to Christianity? And the Bible does say that the Spirit of
God who was above the water, what does it mean? Is the Holy Spirit separate? Then God? Sister has
two questions. If I answer these two questions, will you accept Islam? I have to tell you for
questions. So. Okay, so you want to answer the first two? And then you love the next two questions?
No, no, yeah, absolutely am 70 pounds percent. I'm convinced, you know, whatever knowledge that my
brother shared with me and I've been watching your videos. I'm 70% convinced I'm being very honest
		

			and very transparent. When shall I have the four questions answered? Yes. If you haven't been 100%,
accept Islam inshallah. I will accept the
		

			last two questions. And after she left the other two questions that the Bible does mention about
Holy Spirit. What is the reference of Holy Spirit? In the Quran?
		

			What the definition of Holy Spirit. It is not the same as mission Islam.
		

			Because when the Christians when they talk about the Holy Spirit, they assume it is part of the
Trinity, the Triune God, though the word Trinity doesn't exist in the Bible, no way.
		

			The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
		

			When they say father, they think of Almighty God like a Santa Claus sitting in the heavens, with the
earth of the footstool. When they talk about the sun, the thing about Jesus cast peace be upon him
like Geoffrey Hunter, in the movie, King of kings, with blue eyes, and good nose, not a polyp no
like a do. men that are the Holy Spirit, the thing about dove that came in Pentecost,
		

			or Jesus Christ has been baptized.
		

			What is the spirit that mission the Quran, what I believe is Quran talks about Archangel Gabriel.
		

			You are one of the angels sent by Allah Spano, tala, and one of his roles was to get the revolution
to masala salah
		

			and many other roles he has got. So we believe in the ark Angel. So like that if you say that there
is a spirit we have no problem, but he's not part of the Triune God and both are separate. The
angels archangel gabriel separate Allah Spano, tala, and the spirit even mentioned in the Bible, a
separation Allah subhanaw taala, the unjoined This is the teaching of the Church, because the word
Trinity doesn't exist anywhere in the Bible. But if we read the Quran, the Trinity is mentioned
twice in the Quran in Surah Nisa, chapter number four verse number 171, where it says velata kulu
thalassa don't say Trinity in the Hara, Lacan, this is probably better for you.
		

			So Quran says velata pulu salasar don't say eternity and the same message repeated in Surah. My the
chapter number five was 73. It says lachat kufrin, Rosina kalu. They are
		

			those who say that God is three in one. So the word Trinity appears in the Quran twice. And both the
places it says it is wrong to use the word Trinity and in the Quran, it is mentioned that don't sit
in it. But the word Trinity doesn't exist in the Bible. The closest first to Trinity in the Bible is
the first episode of john chapter number five, verse number seven we save for there are three that
bear accord in heaven, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And these three are one, two this
worse, if you read the Revised Version of the Bible, revised by title scholars of the highest
eminence, Christian scholars, they say that this was our first episode of john chapter number five,
		

			verse number seven is interpolation is a fabrication is a concoction and they've thrown This was out
of the Bible. So the verse in the Bible that was not talking directly about unity, but the closest
to Trinity is thrown out by the scholars of Christianity as a fabrication as the concoction. So but
naturals the spirit and Almighty God, the two different entities, they're not the same. And in the
Quran, it talks about Archangel Gabriel is the angel of Allah subhanaw taala. Hope that answers the
question sister. Yes, brother. I would like to know other questions. Yeah. My third question is,
which is related to Holy Spirit only. All the prophets, all the man of God like Prophet Abraham,
		

			Prophet, Isaac and Prophet Moses, peace be upon them. All the prophets, they used to intercede with
Allah, they used to interact with Allah, so to interact with Allah, because they're all the chosen
ones, they must be gifted by some strength, it might be the grace of God. So it is a power there is
that some power,
		

			so that they are able to interact with Allah. So what is that power? So what is my understanding? I
mean, what was my understanding all these days was with the help of Holy Spirit, all the prophets
were interceding with Allah.
		

			Is that true? sisters the question that the messengers of Allah subhanaw taala intercede with the
Almighty God, then visit interaction with Almighty God sister, the English word intercede and
interaction are two different things. So is there a question intercede or interaction intercedes?
intercede means that someone intercedes on somebody else's behalf.
		

			Someone intercedes on somebody else's behalf. Now this you have to realize that when you speak to
Allah subhanaw taala, Allah subhanaw taala does not need anyone to intercede. The Quran says in
sonographers, chapter number 40 verse 60, you asked me and I will answer your prayer. Allah subhanaw
taala does not require anyone to intercede with him.
		

			Why?
		

			And people give the example that you know when you go in a court of law, when you're presenting your
case to the judge, you hire lawyers. So like that the messengers of God are our lawyers.
		

			This is okay and logical for a judge as a human being. Because the judge does not know who is the
criminal who is the robber. So the lawyer helps the judge to understand who is a criminal who is a
robber who is not, but Allah subhanaw taala.
		

			He does not require anyone to prove to him who is good, who is bad.
		

			So it is wrong to say intercede. Yes, someone can pray.
		

			A messenger can pray for other human beings. And Allah says in the Quran, that Allah subhana wa
Taala does not require any intercession except who he was on the Day of Judgment. So on the Day of
Judgment, Allah says, He will give permission to certain people to intercede
		

			and this there are these thing, that this special favor will be given to Prophet Muhammad peace be
upon him to what we know from the history of all the other scriptures as well as the Quran as well
as the Hadith that the Messenger of God the interacted with the last one oh tala the prayed for
others. But if we use the prophet to intercede
		

			that we divide, pray, that if I go through this prophet, following the commandments of Prophet is
good. But if I pray to somebody else besides Allah subhana wa Taala that what many of the human
beings do, they pray to human beings saying they are closer to Almighty God, so
		

			If we pray through him, God will accept our prayer faster and better. This is wrong. We have to pray
to our last mother directly. These prophets of God, they are messengers. Yes, they have special
powers. They have special powers, they can speak to our last one Allah and Allah subhanho wa Taala,
chooses certain men amongst men,
		

			chooses certain men to communicate his message to the other human beings, these Chosen People of
Almighty God, we call as prophets or we call it messengers of God. So Allah subhanaw taala selects
certain human beings in the world, to communicate his message to the other human beings. These are
called as messengers of God. So there is communication between the messenger and Allah Spano tala,
but that does not mean that human beings can use these messengers to intercede that if they pray to
these messengers, Almighty God will listen to us. This is the teaching of the Church, that we
believe in Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, and all your sins will be forgiven. This concept doesn't
		

			exist in Islam, and doesn't exist even in true Christianity. It is a teaching of the Church sister.
Hope That's the question. Yeah. My final question is,
		

			in New Testament, men, in one book, book of Acts, Paul mentioned about tongues. Do you say about
tongues in New Testament and according to Islam, is that it's totally eliminated. It's not there,
or, or the gift of tongues existed at that time. Just ask the question that Paul said about tongues
if you give me the reference, I am in a better position. There are many things mentioned in the
Bible about tongues. There are many verses in the Quran which speak about tongue. If you give me the
reference what you're talking about, I'm in a better position to reply to you. But generally, there
are many statements in the Bible talking about tongues. And also says,
		

			If you read the gospel, is the Gospel of Mark. It says that anyone who's a believer,
		

			he will be able to understand foreign tongues and speak foreign tongues.
		

			That means if you are a believer in God, then you can understand foreign languages. And you can
speak foreign languages. So that's what I did when I had a debate with Dr. William Campbell, I gave
him 100 rupee note
		

			and the Indian 100 rupee note, as you may be aware, since I've got 22 official languages, I read in
English 100 rupees in the face of rupee. I asked him to read the other 20 languages, if he's a
believer, and he could not.
		

			There are many references in the Quran talking about tongues. If you read the Quran, the Quran says
in Surah chapter 30 verse, Psalm 22, that Allah subhana wa Taala has created in the human beings in
different colors and tongues, so that you should recognize each other
		

			so that the men of understanding will understand. Furthermore, the Quran says that on the Day of
Judgment, your tongues your organ, your hands, they will be witness for you. What you did, right
what you did wrong, there are various Hadith of the Prophet talking about the tongue. So there are
many references in the Quran talking about the tongue. There are many references in the Bible, that
talk about tongue and how to test a believer. Hope the question is sister, thank you. And my final
question.
		

			Okay, I have a Muslim friend and he suggested me to read Bible Old Testament, they specifically
mentioned to follow go through the Old Testament and Bible, and then he said read Quran. But as you
mentioned, specifically, you know, that the Quran is the final revelation given by Allah. So, as a
Muslim, what do you suggest me? Because my friend is being a Muslim, he said, Follow Bible Old
Testament and then read Quran. So the question the one of our friends told her that Firstly, the Old
Testament then read the Quran, sisters, not the must. If there is something like the Old Testament
and the New Testament, then there's something like the last testament the Quran.
		

			So when the Christians the Old and New Testament, this is the last and final test of Allah subhanaw
taala. Now I'm asking the question, suppose you have different versions and editions of a book, for
example, you have gone to a medical college, or a medical college, you know, probably the Keith
Moore wrote some books and his book at first edition, Second Edition third edition. So did you read
the first edition of the latest edition?
		

			Of course I go for the latest. Yes, if you really love
		

			The first edition you know I'm a fan of the first edition. Then I said no problem reads the first
edition then reads the last edition. So it feels so much hooked on to the Old Testament. And you
know your Old Testament is close to your heart. Then the Quran says in Psalm one chapter three verse
64, tala Willa kalama things of I am by no means, come to common terms as mean as in you, then I
would say that, if you're so much hooked on to the Old Testament, no problem, read the Old
Testament, then read the Quran, at least agree what is common.
		

			And when you read the Old Testament, New Testament and the Quran, we come to know that the thing
that is common in the scriptures is that there is one God
		

			and he deserves to be worshipped. He has got no image, he is not bigger than it further says that
Jesus Christ is not God. And both the scripture say that the last and final messenger Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him.
		

			So sister, now are you prepared to accept Islam?
		

			Of course, yes.
		

			I do believe that the one God. Yes, I believe there is only one God. Do you believe that Jesus is
not God, but he's a messenger of God? Yes, I believe Jesus is a messenger. Do you believe Prophet
Muhammad is the last and final messenger? Yes, I believe Prophet Muhammad is the last and the final
messenger.
		

			Sister, is there anyone forcing you to accept Islam? Sorry, is there anyone forcing you to accept
Islam? No, nobody is forcing. Are you accepting all of your free will? Yes. Because in Islam, to
force anyone to accept Islam is haram. It's Haram in the religion, and it's Haram, it's prohibited
and most of the countries I believe even in Dubai, to force anyone to accept the religion is
forbidden. So you accept a lot of free will sister. Yes. That is the reason I asked you many
questions. Mashallah, I
		

			hope, I hope no one is bribing you know, in India.
		

			When after many people accept Islam, the CIT the police go there ask the homeboy Dr. Sakina give you
		

			either them I've given them currency of the euro
		

			currency of jacarandas accepted. So inshallah sister I will say in Arabic and you can repeat it.
Okay.
		

			I shall do, I shall do Allah Allah de la ilaha illa Allah illallah wa sallahu wa shadrach
		

			Mohammedan Muhammad, Abu Abu vara Zulu, but sudo I bear witness, I bear witness that, that there is
no God, that there is no God, but Allah but Allah and I bear witness. And I bear witness that, that
Prophet Muhammad, Prophet Muhammad is the messenger is the messenger and servant of Allah. And so
when of Allah, Masha Sister Muslim, and Bella Swan, Allah accept your effort.
		

			And I played role as one of Allah that will guide you further and insha Allah give you the best in
this world as well as Accra and Gambia place in paradise inshallah. Sister Thank you
