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

			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 I'm 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 Zakir Naik. 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 is 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 is Holy Spirit a separate from Allah?
		

			This is my question, Sister the 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 four
questions. So
		

			if you want me to answer the first two, and then you love the next two questions, no, no, yeah,
absolutely. I'm 70 pounds person, 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 to Inshallah, if the four questions are answered, Yes. If you're 100%, accept Islam
inshallah. I will accept.
		

			The first the last two questions and after we should have 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 of Almighty God like a Santa Claus sitting in the heavens, with the
Earth or the footstool, when they talk about the sun, nothing about Jesus cares peace be upon him
like Jeffrey Hunter, in the movie, the King of kings, with blue eyes, and good nose, not a polyp.
No, like a Jew. Men that oh, the Holy Spirit, the thing about dove that came at Pentecost,
		

			or Jesus Christ being baptized,
		

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

			You're one of the angels sent by Allah subhanaw taala. And one of his roles was to get the
revelation to masala Salah
		

			and many other roles, Yes, God. 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 subhanaw taala and the spirit even mentioned in the Bible is
separate than Allah subhanaw taala the unjoin This is the teaching of the Church, because the word
trinity doesn't exist anywhere in the Bible. But if you read the Quran, the Trinity mentioned twice
in the Quran. In surah Nisar chapter number four verse number 171, where it says, while at the
Colusa Lhasa don't say Trinity in the hara, Lacan discovered better
		

			You
		

			so Quran says Allah Colusa Lhasa don't sit on it and the same message repeated, and you sort of made
the jump number five was the most only three, it says laka kufrin, Latina Carlu. They have been
goof. Those who say that God is three in one. So the word tiriti 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 a D but the word trinity doesn't exist in the Bible. The closest verse to Trinity in
the Bible is the first epistle of John chapter number five, verse number seven receives four there
are three that bear accord in heaven, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And these three are
		

			one. So this was if you read the Revised Version of the Bible, revised by title scholar of the
highest eminence, Christian scholars, they say that this was a first epistle 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 trinity, but the
closest to Trinity is thrown out by the scholars of Christianity as a fabrication at the concoction.
So but naturals the spirit and Almighty God that 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 the other two 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 are able to interact with a lot. 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? Sister has the question that the Messenger of Allah subhanaw taala intercede with the
Almighty God. When 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
sonographic, chapter number 14 verse, Psalm 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 with 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 the criminal who is
the robber who is not, but Allah subhanaw taala has.
		

			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 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 the Hadith 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, 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 thereby 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 them?
		

			it God. So if we pray 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, 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 messengers of God. So there is communication
		

			between the messenger and Allah subhanaw taala. 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 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 did the teaching of the Church sister. Hope that answers the question. Yeah. My
final question is,
		

			in New Testament, I mean, 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 of 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 is 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 got 22 official languages, I read
in English 100 rupees in the fifth Autopia 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 30 verse, Psalm 22, that Allah subhana wa Taala has created 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, 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 that answers the question the sister, thank you. And
my final question.
		

			Okay, I have a Muslim friend and he suggested me to read Bible Old Testament, okay 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 is being a Muslim, he said, Follow bible old
testament and then read Quran. So the question the one of her friends told her that firstly, 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 you the question, suppose you have different versions and editions of a book,
for example, you have gone to a medical college, either a medical college, you know, probably the
kid more wrote some books, and his book at first edition, Second Edition third edition. So would you
read the first edition of the latest edition?
		

			Of course, are you go for the latest? Yes.
		

			If you really love the first edition you know I'm a fan of the first edition. Let us say no problem
read the first edition then we 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 Ron
chapter three verse 64, Tala will acclimate themselves and by no means come, 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 coming.
		

			And when we 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 worshipped. He has got no image He is not begotten. It further says that Jesus
Christ people is not God. And both the scriptures 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 is
not God but is the 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 in most of
the countries I believe in in Dubai. To force anyone to accept the religion is forbidden. So you
accept a Free Will Sister Yes, that is the reason I asked you many questions Mashallah.
		

			I hope no one is bribing you know everybody in India
		

			when after many people accept Islam the CID the political that after how many dollars Dr. Sakeena
give you
		

			either them I've given them currency of the euro
		

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

			I shall do. I shall do Hola. Hola, de la ilaha IL Allah illallah wa I shall do Maha Shudra
		

			anna muhammadan Muhammadan Abu Abu Varun 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, Messiah sister Muslim, and may Allah subhanaw taala accept your effort
		

			and I pray to Allah subhanaw taala that to guide you further and inshallah give you the best in this
world as well as Accra and gone to your place in paradise Inshallah, Sister Thank you
