Zakir Naik – Monotheism in Judaism

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

			Now we'll discuss
		

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

			the concept of God
		

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

			in the Semitic religions.
		

00:00:09 --> 00:00:10

			First, we'll discuss
		

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

			the concept of God in Judaism.
		

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

			Judaism is
		

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

			a Semitic religion,
		

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

			And
		

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

			if you read the scriptures
		

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

			of Judaism,
		

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

			that the Torah
		

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26

			and the Talmud
		

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

			or the old testament,
		

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

			it's mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy,
		

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

			chapter number 6, verse number 4. Moses, peace
		

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

			be upon him, says,
		

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

			Israel, the Lord, our God is 1 Lord.
		

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

			It's mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter
		

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

			number 43 verse number 11.
		

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50

			I, even I am Lord and beside me
		

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

			there's no savior. It's mentioned in the book
		

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

			of Isaiah chapter number 45 verse number 5.
		

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

			I am Lord and there's none else. I
		

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

			am God and there's none like me.
		

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

			It further mentioned in the book of Isaiah,
		

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

			chapter number 46
		

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

			verse number 9. I am God and there's
		

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

			none else. I am God and there's none
		

00:01:09 --> 00:01:09

			like me.
		

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

			It further mentioned
		

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

			in the book of Exodus
		

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16

			chapter number 20, verse number 3, 4, and
		

00:01:16 --> 00:01:16

			5.
		

00:01:17 --> 00:01:17

			It says,
		

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

			almighty God says in the book of Exodus,
		

00:01:20 --> 00:01:23

			chapter number 20, verse number 3 to 5.
		

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

			Thou shall have
		

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

			none other god besides me.
		

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31

			Thou shall not make unto thee any graven
		

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34

			image of anything, of any likeness in the
		

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

			heaven above, in the earth beneath, and in
		

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

			the water under the earth. Thou shall not
		

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

			bow down to them nor serve them for
		

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

			I, thy God, thy Lord is a jealous
		

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

			God.
		

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

			The same message repeated in the book of
		

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

			Deuteronomy.
		

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52

			Chapter number 5, verse number 7 to 9.
		

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55

			Almighty God says, thou shall have no other
		

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

			God beside me. Thou shall not make unto
		

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

			thee any graven image of anything, of any
		

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

			likeness in the heaven above, in the earth
		

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

			beneath, and the water beneath the earth. Thou
		

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

			shall not bow onto them, nor serve them.
		

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

			For I, thy God, thy Lord is a
		

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

			jealous God.
		

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

			So if you read
		

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

			the scriptures of Judaism,
		

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

			you'll understand
		

00:02:17 --> 00:02:17

			that Judaism
		

00:02:18 --> 00:02:18

			believe
		

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

			that you should worship only one God.
		

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

			And that God
		

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

			cannot have any images.
		

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

			So if you read the Jewish scriptures, you'll
		

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

			understand the concept of God in Judaism.
