The brother asked, I have a good question.
He
gave a Christian name, if I heard it
correctly,
but said he's not a Christian.
He says he believes in God. If there's
a cell phone, it has a creator so
that way he believes in God. Very good.
Alhamdulillah. Congratulations.
But he says
that, how can you prove to me
that I should only follow Islam?
That's a very good question. Brother, Islam is
Arabic word. You may not know the meaning.
So forget Arabic. Leave it aside. What you
should follow is Allah says in the Quran,
in Surah Al Imran, chapter number 3 verse
number 19. In the dinah in the laila
Islam, the only religion acceptable in the sight
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, it is Islam,
which is peace acquired by submitting
your will to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. If you believe in God,
that he's there.
You don't believe in religion. What is the
definition of religion?
Diligent means
believing in God.
So if you believe in God and say
don't believe in religion, you're contradicting.
So is it? By definition of Oxford dictionary,
religion means
believing in a supernatural
being or God that deserves obedience.
So if you believe there is God, you
also have to obey him. Right or wrong?
That's a different thing. You may not know
which book is God's book.
You understand? So if you believe in God,
do you want to obey this creator or
not? Yes or no?
Finish.
That's right. I agree with you. I'm not
telling you, but you have to obey the
creator. Now what the creator has said, you
have to find out.
Correct?
So now the brother agrees that there's a
creator. He believes in God, and he agrees
that he should obey that creator. The same
thing God is telling, the only way of
life acceptable is
submitting your will to God. That's it.
Now what is submitting? That's a different question,
correct?
Forget the word Muslim. Forget the word Islam.
Muslim means one who submits a will to
almighty God. If you submit a will to
God, in Arabic, you call Muslim. Just by
telling your name is Zakir Abdul, you don't
become Muslim. If I say my name is
Zakir, I don't become a Muslim. If someone
says name is Mohammed, doesn't become a Muslim.
Muslim by definition means a person who acquires
peace, one who submits the will to almighty
God. Now you want to know that how
will you say that this is
the right
will of God, correct?
For that, you have to refer to my
video cassette, is the Quran God's word.
Which is proof scientifically
that this is the word of God, which
you and I believe in.
You and I believe in, this is the
same word of God, for that referred to
my video cassette, it is approximately 4 hours.
I don't intend giving a lecture and a
question asking for 4 hours here. And tomorrow
you can come for my talk, Sharia
Sharia means the law
of Allah, law of Islam.
Barbaric or perfect?
If you hear that talk, it will partly
convince you. For complete
answer, refer to my bureauskas, it is the
Quran God's word. And Insha'Allah Insha'Allah,
you'll be convinced that this is the only
way which is right. Names don't go in
Arabic names.
Don't look at people or people who don't
follow them. Don't judge Islam by what the
followers are doing.
If you want to judge how good a
car is. If a driver does not know
how to drive the car and he bangs
up the car, who will you blame? The
driver of the car?
Driver. So don't judge Islam by looking at
the Muslims.
Judge Islam by the authentic sources of Quran.
And if you judge according to this, if
you want to judge the car you go
at the catalog, what is the speed of
that Mercedes car, what is the safety measures,
what is the average, etcetera, etcetera. Or you
judge by putting a driver behind the seat
who is an expert driver. So if you
want to observe a human being,
to know Islam is, the best example is
the last and final messenger prophet, Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam.
