Zakir Naik – Does Allah Permeate the World

			The
		

			brother asked a very good
question. Peace be on you too.
		

			Brother, wala Kum, assalam, ah,
peace, mercy and blessing of
		

			Allah. Subhana wa taala, beyond
you, brother. Brother asked a very
		

			good question that even the Quran,
it is mentioned that God exists
		

			everywhere. The Muslims believe
God exists everywhere. Even the
		

			Hindus believe God exists
everywhere. So what is our harm in
		

			worshiping idol. God exists in the
idol god exists in human beings
		

			also. So what's the harm in
worshiping idol? Brother, nowhere
		

			in the Quran is it mentioned that
God exists everywhere?
		

			Nowhere in the Quran is it
mentioned god exists everywhere? I
		

			am aware there is a misconception
amongst many Muslims who assume
		

			god exists everywhere, nowhere.
Does the Quran say they exist
		

			everywhere. What the Quran says
		

			Allah's power exists everywhere.
		

			Allah has the power the verse of
the Quran, wherever you turn your
		

			face, you will see the verge of
Allah, Subhanahu wa the face means
		

			the power of Allah. Subhana wa
taala. Allah is capable of
		

			controlling anything and
everything,
		

			but the statement he exists
everywhere is not mentioned
		

			anywhere in the Quran, neither in
any Hadith. I am aware that there
		

			are certain Muslims lot of
misconception. They believe that
		

			this is no way mentioned. But his
power exists. Power exists
		

			everywhere. Now regarding your
question, Where does God exist,
		

			and why can't we worship an idol?
Where does God exist? The Quran
		

			says,
		

			Allah is on the ash. The hadith
		

			where a lady approached and the
Prophet asked her, where is God?
		

			She said, point on top. God said,
she has Iman. She has faith. So
		

			God exists on the ash, on the
throne. The Throne exists on the
		

			water. He is up in the heavens,
so, but najal, he is not in the
		

			human being. Yes, he can control
Allah says He is closer to you
		

			than your jaguar vein. That means
he is aware of everything. His
		

			power is there. That doesn't mean
God Himself has come into the
		

			Jaguar vein. That doesn't mean
that. It means that Allah has
		

			power. He is close to you. That
means he loves you. He knows, he
		

			knows everything. He has power
over everything. Not even a leaf
		

			can fall without the permission of
Allah subhanahu wa coming to your
		

			question, why can't we worship
idols? If you read the Quran,
		

			Quran says, In surah the chapter
five, verse number 90, which I
		

			quoted, idol worship is
prohibited. Same thing. If you
		

			read the Bhagavad Gita. Bhagavad
Gita says, in chapter number
		

			seven, verse number 20, all those
whose intelligence number seven,
		

			verse number 20, all those whose
intelligence has been stolen by
		

			material desires, they worship
Demi gods,
		

			materialistic people. They do
widely worship. If you read the
		

			chandhoya Upanishad, chapter
number six, section number two,
		

			verse number one, it says ekkam
evidityam. It's a Sanskrit
		

			quotation which means God is only
one without a second. It's
		

			mentioned in the svetasida
Upanishad, chapter number six,
		

			verse number nine, nachase Kasich,
Janita nachadipa, of him, there
		

			are no Lords.
		

			He has got no parents. Almighty
God has got no father, he has got
		

			no mother. Almighty God has got no
superior. He has got no master.
		

			It's mentioned in the Shweta sutta
Upanishad, chapter number four,
		

			verse number 19.
		

			Natha sipati Masti of him, there
is no likeness. It further
		

			repeated in Yajurveda, chapter
number 32 verse number three.
		

			Natasipati Masti of him. There are
no images Almighty God. I've got
		

			no images. So the moment you make
an image of Almighty God, you are
		

			going against the Veda. You are
going against Bhagavad Gita,
		

			Bhagavad Gita, Vedas, all the
scriptures, they speak against
		

			idol worship. For the details, you
can come to my talk on not
		

			tomorrow, next Sunday, 18th of
January, on similarities between
		

			Hinduism Islam, and I'll deal with
this topic in detail. So even idol
		

			of worship is prohibited in
Hinduism. Why do they do the Hindu
		

			scholars have a certain logic,
which you can reply to that also
		

			you come for my talk, similarities
between Hindus and Islam and
		

			Inshallah, I will get more
knowledge on this aspect. You
