00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			The main
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:05
			cornerstone
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			of the Islamic faith is
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			that
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			there is only one soul creator,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			sustainer,
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			and cherisher
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			for all the human beings.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			The cornerstone of Islamic faith is Tawhid. That
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			there is only
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			one sole creator, sustainer,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			cherisher
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			for all the human beings, irrespective whether they
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			are black or white, yellow or brown, rich
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			or poor, whether you're from America or Malaysia,
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			India or Pakistan,
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			our creator is the same. And this point
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			is the single most important point for universal
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			brotherhood.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			This point alone,
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			that all the human beings have one sole
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
			common creator, sustainer, and cherisher, is sufficient for
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58
			universal.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			That's the reason,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			being the cornerstone of Islam.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:05
			Besides
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:06
			Islam,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			it is even the cornerstone
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:11
			of
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			all the faiths. But unfortunately,
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			in the passage of time, the importance to
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			it deteriorated.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			That's the reason if you read the scriptures
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			of all the major religions,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			all of them speak
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			about believing and worshiping only one God.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			Chapter number 3 verse number 64 where Allah
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			says,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			cool. See how people of the book.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			Come to common terms as been assigned you.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			Which is the first term?
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			That we worship Nan but Allah.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			That we associate to partner with Him.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			That we erect not among ourselves.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			If then they turn back.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			Say,
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			we
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			are Muslims bowing our will to Allah's
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			This verse of the Quran gives you a
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			master key of how to speak with different
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			types of people.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			Come to common terms as us and you.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			Which is the first term? Allah.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			That we worship none but Allah.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			So when we speak with people of different
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:25
			religions,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			our creator says,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			talk about commonalities.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			The differences can be discussed later on.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			At least let us agree to follow what
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			is common,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			and most of our problems will be solved.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:39
			Religion,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			according to Oxford dictionary means a belief in
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			a superhuman controlling power. A personal God
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			or gods that deserve worship.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			So basically, religion means believing in God. So
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			if we can understand the concept of God
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			in the major world religions,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			this is the best way to unite all
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			the human beings together.
