The speaker discusses the definition of jealousy and how it is not a habit, but rather a condition. They argue that God is jealous and that it is impossible to be jealous of anything in the world. The speaker also mentions a book called Deuteronomy, which they believe should not be considered fully accurate, but rather a combination of the two.

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

			You said yesterday you quoted the line that one of the commandments was said, You shall not make any
resemblance of anything that is in the heaven above or in on earth or in the water beneath. Because
I your Lord, your God is a jealous God. Now,

00:00:21 --> 00:01:07

			do you do you really think that? Don't? I mean, don't you feel that it's a bit petty for God to
think jealously, or be jealous of these things? I thought in my mind that these feelings are limited
only to human beings. And God, egoism and jealousy, I don't think are things which, which can be a
good question, and I agree with you totally. Why should God be jealous? That is what is mentioned
the Bible. So I'm not saying I don't have the Bible. Neither do I agree that everything in the Bible
is the Word of God. Okay, but we, but we do believe that we should not associate anything to God.
That's that part. But why that word get annoyed. If you ask a question, please. After finishing the

00:01:07 --> 00:01:11

			question, let me give a reply. So if there is a debate, we can have a debate, no problem.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:49

			The question of the time, you ask a question, wait for the reply. If I reply, and we keep on
interjecting, not that I don't mind, but that becomes an individual dialogue, which again to some
other time now, I'm sorry, fine. You ask a question, you ask a second question I gave you time. But
then if we keep on talking, it will be like, yeah, I get a bit of it, you can do a deal. So even in
debate, we have time 1515 minutes. All the very good question that I quoted a verse that saying that
thou shall not have any graven image of anything in heaven above in the earth beneath and water
beneath the earth Darshan on boarded onto them to serve them for I the Lord, thy God is a jealous

00:01:49 --> 00:02:10

			God. It was a quotation from the book of Exodus from the Old Testament, chapter number 20, was
Timothy two, five, and the book of Deuteronomy, chapter number five was number seven to nine. So
this is a condition of the Bible. I don't consider the Bible completely with the Word of God. So the
first part of that verse, I agree is correct, because God cannot have immediate but the second part
that God is jealous, I don't agree with that.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:38

			That particular portion, so that's the reason that you should ask to the Christian, not to me, I'm
not here to support everything of the Bible. What matches with the Quran? I will support what
doesn't match I will not support therefore I do agree with you that it is unlike God to be jealous
on that thing of the answer the question, but we do we do say that we should not associate anything
to God. Yeah, and this is a biggest sin which will never be forgiven.

00:02:40 --> 00:02:40

			Verified yesterday.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

			That was clarified yesterday. Then associated partners biggest thing
