Zakir Naik – How to Prove that Islam is the Only Religion to be Followed

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.
