Zakir Naik – Alhamdulillaah! A Christian Lady Accepts Islam after her Questions are Convincingly Answered

			We'll 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 that you know, Islam is the straight forward
religion.
		

			And Allah is alpha, his omega is the beginning and the his last, we cannot see son more than 10
minutes. So how can we see a creator? So I'm totally convinced, but there's some questions, you
know, that we have doubts, because since I'm a born Christian, I have four questions total four
questions to Brother rod Zaki, 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 exists.
		

			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. That's 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, whoa, 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 this? Um, I have to tell you four
questions. So
		

			to answer the first two, and then we'll have the next two questions. No, no, yeah, absolutely. And
70% I'm convinced, you know, whatever knowledge that my brother shared with me and I've been
watching your videos, I'm 70% convinced and being very honest and very transparent to insha. Allah
is the full question Lanford. Yes, if you are convinced 100% accept Islam inshallah. I will accept
Islam.
		

			The last two questions and after she loves 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, the thing about Almighty God like a Santa Claus sitting in the heavens, with
the earth or 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 Jew. When the Holy
Spirit The thing about dove that came in Pentecost,
		

			or Jesus Christ was being baptized.
		

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

			You're one of the angels sent by Allah Spano, tala, and one of his roles was to get the revelation
to mama, Salah, 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 angel the Archangel Gabriel, separate and last one oh tala. And this spirit even mentioned in
the Bible is separate than the last one of the unjoin. 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
mentioned twice in the Quran in surah isatap number four verse number 171. Where it says, well,
Arthur kulu Salah don't say Trinity in the Hara. locum desktop is better for you.
		

			So Quran says Allah pulu, Salah don't say Trinity, and the same message repeated in sort of my other
job number five was summer 73. It says latka, Filipina carlu. 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 verse to Trinity in the Bible is
the first episode of john chapter number five, verse number seven received for there are three that
bear record in heaven, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one. So this
was if you read the Revised Standard 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 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 the fabrication of 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 new 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 are all the chosen
ones. They must be gifted by some strength, it might be the grace of God. So it is a power that is
that some power
		

			so that they're 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 Messenger 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
our last one, Allah, Allah subhanaw taala, does not need anyone to intercede. The Quran says in
Surah refer to chapter number 40 verse 760, 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 inefficient except who is 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 the 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 or the
Hadith, that the Messenger of God they interacted with Allah subhanaw taala they 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's what many of the human
beings do. They pray to human beings saying they are closer to Almighty God
		

			So if he prayed through him, God will accept our prayer faster and better. This is wrong. We have to
pray to Allah smother directly. These prophets of God, they are messengers. Yes, they have special
powers, they have special powers, they can speak to Allah subhanaw taala. And Allah subhana wa Taala
chooses certain men, amongst men,
		

			to this certain men, to communicate his message to the other human beings, these Chosen People of
Almighty God, we call us prophets, or we call it messengers of God. So Allah subhanho wa Taala
selects certain human beings in the world, to communicate his message to the other human beings.
These are called messengers of God. So there is communication between the messenger and the last one
of Allah. 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 you believe in Jesus case will 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 the answer the question? Yeah. My final question is,
		

			in New Testament, men, in one book, book of Acts, Paul mentioned about tongues. What 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'm in a better position. There are many things mentioned in
the Bible about tongues. There are many verses in the Quran, we speak about tongue. If you give me
the reference what you're talking about, I'll be 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, if you read 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 you have what 22 official languages, I read
in English 100 rupees in the fifth hour, rupiah, 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 room, chapter number 30, verse number 22, that Allah subhanho wa Taala has created 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 for nurses. 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 Quran is the final revelation given by Allah. So, as a
Muslim, what do you suggest me? Because my friend, being a Muslim, he said, Follow Bible Old
Testament and then read Quran. So he says the question the one of our friends told her that first
read the Old Testament then read the Quran, sisters are 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 say 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 version than edition of a book. For
example, you have gone to a medical college than a medical college you know, probably the Keith
Moore wrote some books and his book at first edition second edition third edition. So video read the
first edition of the latest edition.
		

			Of course, I go for the latest. Yes, if
		

			You really loved the first edition, you know, I'm a fan of the first edition. Then I said, No
problem, read the first edition, then read the last edition. So if you're 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
nine, chapter three verse 64, tala will actually survive by no means, come to common terms as been
asking 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 these scriptures is that there is one God
		

			and he deserves to be worship. He has got no image he's not been gotten. It further says that Jesus
caspio is not God. And both the scripture say that the last and final messenger Prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him.
		

			Sister, now are you prepared to accept Islam?
		

			Of course, yes.
		

			I do believe that there is one God Yes, I believe there is only one God do you believe that Jesus
did 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. Well, then Islam. To
force anyone to accept Islam is haram. It's Haram in the religion and it's haram it's prohibited in
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 no one is bribing you know, in India
		

			when after many people accept this
		

			the CIT the police go there as to how many dollars Can I give you
		

			either them I've given them currency of the euro
		

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

			I shall do a shallow Allah, Allah de la ilaha illa Allah illallah wa sallahu wa shedra
		

			An Na Muhammadan Muhammadan Abu Abu rasuluh Basu, I bear witness, I bear with this that, that there
is no God, that there is no God, but Allah but Allah and I bear witness, and I bear witness that
Prophet Muhammad, Prophet Muhammad is the messenger is the messenger and servant of Allah. And so
when of Allah, Masha, Allah Muslim,
		

			Allah subhanho wa Taala accept the effort
		

			and the last one of Allah that to guide you further and insha Allah give you the best in this world
as well as our Kira and Gandhi a place in paradise inshallah. Sister Thank you
