rubbishing Saturday where psyllium Winder took the Tamil aside difficult going.
I will come
on Monday with the sisters and my others with the sun greetings. Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
Peace, mercy and blessings of Allah subhanaw taala.
It's a pleasure and honor for me to be invited
by the Ministry of Environment, and religious affairs, for lecture to trauma.
And I remember, I had come twice before to Oman, in 2006, late 2009. And the last time also that organized a special gathering only have the Hindus, there were few 100. And the topic was similarities between Islam or Hinduism.
And in this trip, or Hamdulillah, they've organized this program part of
and we have a few 100 non Muslims here.
And I hope
that I can put some light
about Islam into
the topic of this evening, top of mind is
the world and human values and Islamic perspective,
is rather very broad in the topic. And you can speak for days and months together.
The time given to me is only 25 minutes, followed by 35 minutes question answer session.
I doubt with that led to whether I'll even be able to scratch the surface.
In this topic, the world and human values and Islamic perspective, are divided into two parts. The first part,
the world and human values, which match with the Saudis, and Islamic values are based on the Sharia, the Glorious Quran, and the teachings which are mentioned in the SE Hadith.
And the second part is the world and human values, we do not match with Islamic Sharia, we do not match with Islamic values.
As far as the first part is concerned, talking about the world and human values, which match with the Islamic values of the Islamic Sharia, the list is rather very long, few 100,000 For example,
the human values are the same and Islamic value as far as is concerned, that you should not steal that should not lie. You should not be dishonest, that you should not cheat, that he should not bribe, you should not be corrupt, you should be kind, you should be merciful. You should be honest, you should be gracious, and the list can continue.
So what is the difference
between
the world and the human values? As far as the summer shadow is concerned?
The major difference is Islam. Besides talking about these human values, it shows you a way how to practically implement the values.
As far as the first category is concerned,
no one disagree that it's right or wrong. We agree that
we should not steal. We should not lie. We should not cheat. You should not bribe we should not be care.
up, we shouldn't be kind we should merciful. There is no difference of opinion as far as the first category is concerned. But if after you have an Islamic perspective, the Islamic perspective is that Islam besides speaking about these human values, it shows you a way how to achieve this state where a person can practice it.
Time will not permitted to speak up at all. I'll just give a few example of the first category.
All of us agree
that we should not deal generally,
the world agrees. The human values agree, the Islamic Sharia agrees that we should not steal.
But Islam shows you a way how to implement a state where people will not be Today we find all over the world,
most part of the world's there are people stealing.
Islam has prescribed a system of zakat,
which is the third pillar of Islam, which says that every rich Muslim, why the saving of more than the nisab level, more than EDIFACT grams of gold, he or she every lunar year should give 2.5% of that, in charity. If every rich human being in the world gives the cat 2.5%, obligate to charity, poverty will be eradicated from this world, there will not be a single human being will die of hunger.
But unfortunately, most of the human beings don't give 2.5% of the existence.
After that,
Islam has prescribed Allah says in the Glorious Quran in surah. Mind that chapter five was the method as to the thief, whether it be a man or a woman job of his or her hand, as a punishment from Allah subhanaw taala
may not move Philsie chopping off the hands. In this age of science and technology. Islam seems to be like a barbaric religion, a ruthless religion. And the thing that if they go to Saudi Arabia, where there's life practice, every second person who you come across the left hand chopped off.
Believe me, I've been to Saudi Arabia, more than 100 times I have not come across a single person whose hands up chopped off. There may be some I'm not saying that. But I've been more than 100 times I have not come across a single person that means it is not. It is not as often as the thing. The law is so strict that a person thinks a million times before robbing.
A thief will think a million and before
robbing or before stealing the leuser stick and get result.
Today, do you know one of the highest rate of theft and crime in the world? It's in which country? Then you guess it's in USA, the country the world looks upon as the most advanced country in the world. I am asking a simple question to my brothers and sisters you whether or Muslim or Muslim, if you implement this Islamic Sharia in USA, that every rich person who has a saving of more than 85 grams of gold should give 2.5% of his wealth in charity. And after that if anyone steals anyone Rob's chop off his or hand, his or her hand. I'm asking the simple question, will the rest of theft and robbery in USA? Will it increase? will remain the same? Or will it decrease?
Will it increase? will it remain the same? Or will it decrease?
Decrease? It's a simple question, simple answer. You don't have to be a graduate or postgraduate or PhD to get this answer. So Islam is a practical religion. It shows you a way how to achieve a state of goodness.
Let me give one more example.
The human values they tell us
that
you should not monitor woman you should not reach the woman. You should not department.
All the regions say that. It doesn't say that Christianity says that Judaism say that. You should not Moorish the woman you should not repugnant. Islam says the same.
Be on the same wavelength.
You should not marry strawman you should not rip them. But the difference in Islam is Islam shows you a way how to achieve a state a society where people will not molest or a permanent
Islam has prescribed the system of hijab.
Allah says in the Glorious Quran, it first talks about Hijab for the man and then for the woman, Allah says
So the new chapter number 24, was Timothy say to the believing man, that he should lower his gaze and God is modesty. Whenever he looks at a woman, if any brazen thought, any unashamed thought company's mind, he should lower his give.
The next was speaks about the hijab for the woman. Allah says in the Quran in surah, new chapter number 24 was number 31 said to the believing woman, that she should lower again and gather modesty and spin out the beauty except what appears ordinary off and to draw a head covering over a bosom except in front of a father, a husband, a son and a big list of Miriam if given.
Basically, there are six criteria for hijab, which is mentioned in the Quran and authentic hadith. The first is the extent with difference between the man and the woman.
For the man the extent is of covering from the navel to the knee, for the woman, the complete body should be covered the only part that can be seen at the hands up to the wrist. And the fifth,
the second criteria is the clothes they wear should not be so tight, so that it defeats the figure.
The third criteria is the clothes they wear should not be transparent or translucent, so that you can fit through it.
The fourth is, it should not be so glamorous, so that it attracts the opposite sex. The fifth, it should not resemble that of the opposite sex and the fixed is it should not resemble that unbelievers.
And I like to I like to ask a question that if there are two twin sisters, who are very beautiful, equally beautiful if they're walking down the streets of Muscat.
And if around the corner there is a hooligan who is very far catch who's very notice a girl
one place sister she's wearing the Slavic hijab complete body covered except the faith and handle up to the wrist and the other twin sister she's been the Western cludes a lot deep neck shots.
And around the corner, there is a holding in waiting for a catch. Which girl will it is really it is the girl wearing the Islamic hijab abilities the girl wearing the Western codes which girl abilities
which girl
western clothes. If you invite, then you're bound to get some response.
So Islam has prescribed a System V job for the man. It looks at the moment any initial thought comes in his mind, he should load his gift for the woman. She should be dressed modestly. After that. If someone rapes a woman, they somehow Sharia says capital punishment, death penalty. The non Muslim will say death penalty, such a barbaric religion in this age of 21st century. But when I asked this question and I've asked this question to 10s of 1000s of non Muslims in my life,
that Allah forbid, God forbid if someone rips your mother and if you are made the judge, what punishment will you give him?
And believe me, 100 person told me I will put that rubbish to death.
So why is this different law, someone rapes your mother you want to put to death? Someone raped somebody else's Mother You say that penalty the barbaric religion.
Do you know one of the highest rates of rape in the world it's in USA, the country will look up to.
On average, every half minute one rip is taking place.
More than 2000 rip a day is taking place in USA according to FBI statistics.
I'm asking you the question that implement the Islamic Sharia in USA.
That when a man looks at a woman and any unashamed thought comes in his mind, he's lowered his give. And the woman should read Islamic hit up complete body cover except the face and handle the rest. And if after that, if a man rapes a woman death penalty, I am asking the question, will the rate of rape in America will it increase? will it remain the same? Or will it decrease?
Decrease?
It's a simple question. It's a simple answer. That is the reason I say Islam. Besides prescribing the good human values, it shows you a way how to achieve a state in which people can live with those values. It is not the theoretical in the books.
So those society which may claim to be Muslim society may be claiming to be Islamic for society. But if they don't implement the Sharia, you will not get results.
The moment you implement the law of the crater, you get the result
Let me give you one more example
the world and the human values they talk about universal without
Islam fit the same. What is the difference between the prescription of human values of brotherhood and Islam?
I started my talk and even the carry today read in the screen, he recited the theme was also Judith chapter number 14 And verse number 13. Bella says Ya Are you her NASA in Nicola Conoco mint Zadran we're only savage Alaikum Xiang Bo Akbar Allah Allah Tada for Edna Chroma calm in the laureate Coco in Allah Allah will be all humankind we have created you from a single pair of male and female
and have divided you into nations and tribes. So that you shall recognize each other not that you shall despise each other and the most honored in the sight of Allah subhanaw taala is the person who has Taqwa is the person who has piety is the person of God consciousness is a person
who
is righteous.
This was on the Quran.
Allah says, All as human beings have been created from a single pair of male and female. That means we have got a common great good good good good good grandparents.
We are all brothers and sisters. And Almighty God has divided us into nations and tribes. Not that we fight amongst each other so that we recognize each other.
Allah says Allah has given human being different color than different languages, so that you recognize not that you fight among ourselves.
And the worst continues the most honor in the sight of Allah subhanaw taala in the sight of Almighty God is the one who has Taqwa the criteria for judgment, in the sight of Almighty God, it is not wealth. It is not color, it is not sex.
It just because the rich. It doesn't make you superior, because they're white or black. It doesn't make you superior because you're male or female doesn't make superior the criteria for judgment in the sight of Allah is Toccoa It is God consciousness, it is piety, it is righteousness.
Islam is talking about universal without and also gives a practical demonstration. It is compulsory for every Muslim, that he prays minimum five times a day, every day of his life.
And when we mentioned for Salah for prayers, we stand shoulder to shoulder
irrespective the person standing next to the king lot of copper,
rich or poor, black or white, yellow or brown. When we stand for Salah in front of Almighty God, Allah subhanaw taala we should stand shoulder to shoulder this is the prescription of our beloved prophet.
Can they be a better demonstration of Universal Brotherhood, which we practically follow every day in our life, minimum five times a day.
There is no human value in the world. There is no other religion in the world, which practically forces you to demonstrate
and take part in Universal Brotherhood. When the call for another we stand.
We don't look the person sitting next to the king or a popper rich or poor black or white, yellow or brown.
further than that, unless prescribed for every Muslim at least once in a lifetime. If he then adult, if he has the means if he has the wealth and the health at least you should perform one thing that lifetime the pilgrimage to Makkah called of Hajj in the holy month of hajj.
Hajj is the biggest largest annual gathering in the world. Where about three to 4 million from all over the world, except in the COVID days. A couple of years.
Three to 4 million people from all over the world from USA from Canada from UK from France from Pakistan from Bangladesh from India, from Oman from all over the world. The men are dressed in two pieces, white cloth unsewn white cloth
the person standing next to you you cannot identify with either a king or a Papa. Otherwise you may have all your luxury mail all your card. But when you go for Hajj, when you do tawaf when you go for Arafat, offers the same, they cannot be a better demonstration and the life is transformed. If you perform Hajj
is the best
An example of universal brotherhood practically demonstrated
all religions talk against terrorism, do not do murder. If some say the same, Islam instructs you
and tells you what murder is equal to. Allah says in the Quran in surah Maya chapter five was number 32. If anyone kills any other human being, unless it be for murder, or for spreading corruption the land it is as though yes kill the whole of humanity.
There is no religious scripture in the world. There is no other human value books that I know of we face if you kill any innocent human being, it is as though you have killed the whole of humanity. And the worse continues. If you save any of the human me whether Muslim or non Muslim, it is as though you have saved the whole nation.
So when you look at the Islamic perspective,
of the human value as compared to the world's perspective,
the other is more theoretical, Islam is more practical.
And if lamp shows you a solution, how to achieve the state of goodness
due to shortage of time,
we'll go to the next part of the talk.
That is the human the world and human values, which do not match with the summit Sharia we do not match
with the summit values. And again, here the list is very long, but the places too long.
Time will not permit us to dwell into all of them. But number one aspect which is the most important
and which doesn't match
the human values and the world values as compared to the Islamic Sharia number one is today we find
that Muslims Alhamdulillah are more than 25% of the world population we are more than 2 billion.
The population is definitely less than 8 billion now close to 8 billion, and Muslims are more than 2 billion. We are more than 35% of the world population and the balance 75% of non Muslims divided into various different religions. But in the last few decades, atheism
is the major portion of the balance 35%.
And Islam
is deadly against atheism.
It is if there is no God.
And the large portion of the non Muslim say there's no God. And the pillar of Islam is
Tawheed That is God.
When I meet an atheist, I congratulate him. People ask me, Why do you congratulate an atheist?
The reason I can live with any thesis, the other people are blindly following the parents. He is a Hindu Godfather, the Hindu he is a Christian my father, the Christian either Muslim Godfather, a Muslim, this atheistic thinking that my father talks about this God who can be defeated who can be killed with Hungary. So I don't believe in this God, I congratulate him because he has said the first part of the Islamic shahada La Ilaha.
Only thing I have to do is Ill Allah but Allah which I shall do inshallah
to the other non Muslim, firstly have to prove that the God is worshipping is wrong and then get into the role of Allah subhanaw taala. Here these ETS have already said there is no God. So half my job is done. And for this, I've given the talk Does God Exist, which the very long talk of two two and a half hours, time will not permit? I'll just say in a very small transcribe the surface to show you. If you hear the full talk, it's in detail with logic, reason, science, various angles, which convinces a logical person
that God exists
when it as they taste,
that if an equipment is bought in front of you, which no one in the world knows about it before, no one has seen it. And if I ask the question Do they teach, who is the first person who will be able to tell you the mechanism of this object by equipment normally asked in the public, but it takes time and the time is short. We can I cannot ask and take the questions and in the lecture it takes time as give the answer what they give and then it will be faster.
They take give the answer. The first person who will tell the mechanism of this unknown object will be the creator. Some may say inventor some may say manufacturer some may say producer it is somewhat
similar keep it in your mind.
Then ask the question that how did the universe come to existence? So we will tell you 1973 A few scientists got the award and the describe the Big Bang.
A whole universe was one primary Nebula, there was a secondary separation will give rise to galaxies, the stars, the sun and the earth on which you live. I tell him, when did you learn about this? Is that recently
5060 years back 1973 This thing what you're talking you mentioned the Quran in surah Ambia chapter number 21 Verse number 3014 And years ago, Allah says Allah Mira Xena aka through Anessa, Marathi will Arda cannith, nephritic, Noma, they do not Unbeliev a fee that the heavens and the earth will join together and Wicklow, the messenger, who could have mentioned in this book Quran 14 years ago, it says mistakes of look, I won't like you know,
what the shape of a word. He said the shape is very cool when you become to know in 16th century
the first human being in 1522 We sailed around the Earth, the first
Britisher was a punch deck in 1577. When you seal around the property and again, but Quran mentioned 1400 years ago, in Surah number
chapter seven verse number eight, what are the brothers Alika da and thereafter we have made the earth X shaped and we know egg is not complete on like a ball, it is flattened from the pole, and that is the oblate spherical shape of the Earth. Who could have mentioned this in the Quran? Oh, maybe a prophet was intelligent. I would like you
the light of the moon it's only reflected light. You will say previously thought the light of the moon was its own light. But now we have come to know the light of the moon is reflected like when did we come to know this 200 years back to Unity as Quran says 14 years ago in Saudi for Quran Chapter number 25 Verse number 61. That lesson is he was pleased the Constitution the sky and plays there in sun having its own light and Moon having borrowed light having reflected light who could have mentioned this in the Quran 1400 years ago. Now, give a pause. Don't wait for the reply. I learned in school that the fan was stationary it revolved but did not rotate about its own axis.
Allah says in the Quran in chapter 21, verse number 33, who will love the color Calella Juana Hara Allah was created the light and the day. And Allah continues
are some sort of common currency as both the sun and the moon each one traveling in orbit with its own motion. So the Quran says besides the fan and the moon revolving it even rotate supports his own axis. In my school days in 1982. When I passed my school
I was told that the sun was stationary.
So what I learned in school Quran says something else and today science agrees that the sun rotates and I can keep on going and going, I can talk about water cycle. About Bernard policy Quran has 10s of verses on it. Quran speaks about the salt and the Sweetwater there is a barrier between them. Quran speaks about botany that the plants have got fixed with male and female. Quran speaks about zoology about the lifestyle of the and the lifestyle of of the spider which became known recently. Quran speaks about medicine in the honey that is healing. Quran speaks about embryology. I can go on and on and on Quran is not the book assigns a CI E mc, but it's a book assigned si d and s there are
more than 6000 Iots signs in the Quran out of which more than 1000 speak about science, after every scientific facts mentioned the Quran when we add data to good I mentioned this is only reply can be the creator
the inventor, the manufacturer, the producer, this creator, this inventor, this manufacturer, this producer, we must him call him as Allah
so with the help of the Quran, you can logically prove the existence of Allah subhanaw taala
for the fool unfair refer to my video cassette Does God Exist easily go into YouTube Google
Now God exists I can I can get it or I can go to a platform Aliza platform
they tear doesn't even believe
in life after that.
doesn't believe in
heaven or hell?
I asked the question to the test.
And I'm asking here also
is
stealing good or bad?
is stealing stealing good or bad?
Bad doesn't even say it is good.
Anyone says it is good. No one Mashallah.
Everyone says stealing is bad. Now I
I'm seeing stealing is good
and I'm a very logical person. Now I'm speaking to any tester. So if you want to take part in the discussion talk like any theist if you want to take part in the discussion I'm telling to the atheist that according to me, stealing is good. I'm a logical person I'm a scientific person I'm a medical doctor. You give me one reason only.
Why stealing is bad and I will stop it. Only one I don't know two or three
three I can give you 10 reasons why stealing is good. When I steal money I can go to five total entity I can buy a good car if I steal a million ideas I can buy Rolls Royce if I steal I can buy Bookboon routes good good or bad be getting a Rolls Royce buying a big villa going and watch the movie Good or bad? If you are struggling wasting your time I still
soccer into it is good. Can you give me one reason why it is bad
one all of you said good all of you said good give me one good reason why it is good
sorry Why it is bad.
I'm talking to an atheist now correct?
I'm talking to an atheist you're a theist if you want to answer if you will take part in the discussion you have to be like any theist Can you give me one good reason why? Robbing is bad why stealing is bad?
Sorry.
Your
witch book of atheism it says haram they know what our immunity is books. I told you that I'm talking to an atheist correct. The discussion is between atheists and myself
harming harming somebody harming it's harming others. My question was why it is bad for me. It's bad for you I agree. And prove to me why it is bad for me I will stop it harming you not me. I'm agreeing with you. When I rob when I steal it harms the person what difference does it make to me? If it harm them? I'm enjoying life or not.
I told you prove to me why it is bad for me correct? Yes, second try. Second try
our polyfill Kashmir very good brother. I have a big mafia. I've got the ministers in my pocket. I've got the police in the pocket. Do you know the mafia they are well connected with the ministers they have all the on my payroll. The police is on my payroll if you run into trouble so you don't drop I'm a big shot you know I'm a big shot. I'm a big mafia I've got about 50 bodyguard was you know all behind the curtain
so there are various you miss somebody robbed me no one can rob me because you know, I'm a mafia. I want you to tell me why robbing is bad and stop robbing. I'm a logical person. I'm a scientific person only one I don't want two or three. I'm telling you when Rob and
I can even 20 Reason 50 reasons why robbing is good why stealing is good. I can enjoy life You mean said harm others I don't care. The person who robbed he will cry okay let him cry out differently than me to me is that harming me
Okay, I will ruin his life towards the end rather than making good life I message
The police will catch me cannot catch me can catch you mo because
that's what I told you brother. I'm a big shot. Big mafia no small mafia. I've got bodyguards.
If you tried to steal with me, all of them, Are they behind the switch?
Now time is shot. We'll switch the sides over
against your education. So you don't rob it's not a it's not I give my I'm a logical person. You're a logical person. Correct? It's against your education, your own Rob, why are you telling me my education? My logic I'm a doctor. In my medical science. Nobody tells me not to rob.
I can show you my degree of medicine.
And I'm logical person. I'm giving you 20 reasons why Robin would benefit me I can buy car I can buy your I can buy a plane. I can buy a villa. I enjoy many things. Not let's switch over the sides. Now.
You suppose that the person who the big robber and now I am a Muslim?
And if you tell me that probing is good, because I can get benefit. Correct? I agree with you. How I as a Muslim
can convince
a person who says robbing, stealing raping is good.
I'll ask a simple question that how would you feel if somebody
Rob Reiner I can rob you. No, I cannot rob you. How would you feel? If someone robbed you? Wouldn't you want justice to be done?
If you're a logical person, do you believe in justice? Even I believe in justice? Yes. I'm asking the simple question. If suppose you know the person who is the biggest terrorist in the world Hitler. According to history, he has incinerated 6 million Jews right around 6 million. Now Logically, if your police catches him, what punishment can you give? It's a hypothetical uKash pitler. Correct. You catch Hitler? What punishment didn't give him maximum you can incinerate him burn him alone. What about the balance? 5,999,099 people what about that illogical? What can you please do?
That the reason the only way justice can be done if there is life after that, if there is Almighty God, if there is Almighty God, that is the only way you can prove robbing is bad. Stealing is bad, raping is bad. I report woman I enjoy she cries. It benefits me. But there is something like justice, for justice. That's to be clear, Allah subhanaw taala. I'm going very fast. If you hear my full talk proper, it's easy, some minute to get convinced because you know the time is short. The full talk takes about two hours. So only when you can talk about justices. There is some
powerful Creator Allah subhanaw taala. Point number two, only with Allah. So it's not something Allah should have a life after that. As Quran says, besides Allah, you regret life after that. And Allah says people like Hitler, Allah gives the reply in Surah Nisa, chapter 456. As to those who reject our signs, we shall cast them into the hellfire. And as often as the skin, the roasted, we shall give them fresh skin, so that they should feel the pain.
Today science tells us that if the skin is roasted, you cannot feel the pain. So Allah says, On the Day of Judgment, I will give them fresh skin so that they should feel the pain. If If Allah wants it to be incinerated 6 million times Allah can do it, you and I cannot, it cannot be done in this world, it can be done in the next life.
So the only way you can logically prove that robbing is bad, stealing is bad, repairing is bad if, if they're the existence of Allah subhanaw taala if they're the existence or hereafter,
I'll just say fine.
So
we the main point with clashes with human value that we don't believe in it's that we believe in Tawheed and compared to the rest of the non Muslims, they may believe in religion,
but they may believe in false god.
Allah says in the Quran talks about the definition of Allah subhanaw taala Allah says, Allah says a class chap number 112 was number one to four, the definition of Almighty God Allah subhanaw taala if given called who Allah, Allahu Samad, la mala Mala, Mala, Mala miracle, local fauna, say there is God one and only the absolute the eternal, He begets not noisy begotten, and that it men like him, if any person who you worship
and if you fit in the following definition, we Muslims have got no objection and accepting that entity has got for example, you know, some people claim that Bhagwan Rajneesh is God, if you put him through this test of a class, what rational is the only person who claimed humanity who claimed divinity? There are 1000s of men who have claimed to be God, you know, don't even the second test.
Allah has summit Allah that title. We know Rajnish from his biography, he was suffering from diabetes, from Osama from chronic backache. Imagine Almighty God suffering from trauma, chronic backache, diabetes. Third test Lemelin Villa mula, He begets not noisy, begotten. We know that Daphne's had parents will be immune disciple, even to America, American government put him in jail. And then he said that American government gave me slow poisoning. Imagine Almighty God nice flow poisoned. When he came back to India in the city of Pune, you go to his center, Osho commune. It's mentioned on Samadhi that Bhagwan Das Nish never born never died, but visiting the earth from the
11th of December 1931. To the 19th of January 1990. They forgot to mention the Samadhi he was not given visa to 31 countries of the world. Imagine Almighty God coming in the world to visit different countries and declare a winner for that.
So in Islam,
we disagree with atheism, we disagree with worshipping false god.
And the biggest thing in Islam is shake. associate any partner that God Allah says in surah, chapter 448 and 55 Chapter Four was 116 that
if Allah will forgive
any other sin. But if someone joins gods with Allah, associate partner that Allah, Allah will never forgive because it's a very big thing he has strayed far away. So sherek is the biggest sin in Islam.
Which is not a problem
with human values, it's not a problem with the world. It's not a problem with it all Muslims. It is the biggest thing in Islam.
And before I end my talk, I'll give you an example.
consuming alcohol according the world is normal. According to human value, no problem in Islam, big problem. Allah says in the Quran in surah Maya chapter five verse number 90, yah you will live in harmony in number come roll my through will
reach the Minister is done.
First then you will learn to floon or you believe most certainly intoxicants and gambling, dedication on stone, divination of adults these assessments and evoke abstain from it that you may prosper. In Islam.
Drinking alcohol is prohibited our beloved Prophet Musa lustrum said it's mentioned in the Hadith sahih hadith of Ibn Majah Hadith number 339-239-3339. For that anything really intoxicated in large quantity is primarily a very small quantity, no excuse for Nipper dot. Today my colleague the doctors they say that alcoholism is a disease. If alcoholism is a disease, I see it is the only disease that is sold in bottles. It is the only disease that has no germ or wiring. Of course, it is the only disease that is advertised in the newspapers on the satellite channels on the social media. It is the only disease that gets the revenue for the government. It is the only disease that causes
violence that from the highway. It is not a disease. It is a Satan's handiwork. First, then you will will come to flown. Abstain from this handiwork there may prosper. So in the second category
of world and human values, which Islam disagrees with atheism, that there's no life after the no heaven or hell, or you can share it I'll call them and the list can continue to be the world economy is based on rebar which
they don't have a dress code we have modesty we have hijab
and the list can continue.
Time is short.
And I'd like
to ask resistors that you owe it to yourself. At least read the translation of the Quran in the language you understand the best and inshallah inshallah you will see the light of true human values. I would like to end my talk
by quoting the surah of the Quran for the class chapter 112 Muslim one to four with Paul Hola. says Allah and only Allah has Samad Allah the absolute eternal lamb Juliet vollum Khaled He begets not noisy begotten, wala mija could have Grafana nothing nothing like him, walk down Alhamdulillah Bill Alamy
Masha Allah, masha Allah and one question from the ladies in sha Allah Tala and we go on till we finish this session inshallah Bismillah we start
we'd like to give our non Muslim brother the sister the first opportunity and I'd like you to mention your name and your profession so I'll be in a better position to reply and you're most welcome to ask any question on Islam or combat religion This is your opportunity he has got the most
than someone pass the microphone there
oh
I forgot to get the stand closer here. If we can get the stand a bit closer.
The others can make good want to be sure to ask the question you can make a cube there's a microphone on my left for the gents and on the right for the ladies.
By the time the brothers ask a question all you do like to ask and make a cue so that you know that your question and answer inshallah yes about the name and your profession. Thank you, man of God. My name is Godfrey metabo. I am from Uganda.
I am in Oman. I work as a digital marketing.
Digital marketing is my profession.
Man of God before I came here
I got so much interest in joining this, this calling. And
I'm not asking this question to blasphemy the name of God.
But I'm looking for knowledge and quality to my questions.
The first question I have is
do you believe that Jesus owner be Issa
died
or not,
and if he died did he resurrect?
Number two?
A man of God we have three books
according to how I am informed the Bible
that is from Jesus, the Quran,
from Muhammad
and the Torah from Moses.
Why
are all these kept the Hellfire Thank you very much
they killed him not neither to declassify, it was only made Tapia so
the Quran says, Jesus Christ peace be upon him was not killed, neither was crucified it was made to appear so and although it will differ, they are full of doubt elected by Van only conjecture is to follow. This is what the Quran says. I had a debate with a pastor in a Christian pastor.
Back to the from Iraq, on the topic was Christ really crucified. And in that debate, I proof from the Bible that Jesus Christ peace be upon him did not die on the cross. It's a long debate take time. So according to the Bible, according to my study, I'm a student of comparative religion. I'm a student of the Bible. I can quote the Bible mashallah like the Quran, I can read the Bible also.
According to my study of the Bible, Jesus Christ, these people according to the Bible, he did not die. Even to the Quran, he did not die. So there's no question of resurrection but Allah reads Demopolis the next verse Surah Nisa chapter for them month 55th. Allah reads the Mapa life. So, as a Muslim, according the Quran, he did not die. As a Christian if you studied the Bible correctly, he was not crucified, crucify me dying on the cross. So I use the word it was a crucifixion fiction means it will meet topia. So like the Quran says
nothing and your question. As far as the Muslims and Christians are concerned, Islam is the only non Christian faith which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus Christ peace be upon him. No Muslim is a Muslim. If he does not believe in Jesus peace be upon him, we believe that he was one of the mightiest messengers of God. We believe that he was born miraculously without any male intervention, which many modern decreases who did not believe we believe that he gave life to the dead with God's permission. We believe that he is those born blind leopards with God's permission, the Christian and the Muslims are all together.
But this parting of ways, the parting of ways is that most of the Christians believe that Jesus Christ peace be upon him is Almighty God and he claimed divinity. In fact, if you read the Bible, there is not a single unequivocal statement. Not a single unambiguous statement. In the complete Bible, where Jesus Christ will be upon Himself says that I am God always in worship me. In fact, I've read the Bible. It's mentioned the Gospel of John Chapter number 14 was number 28. Jesus Christ peace be upon me said My Father is greater than I, gospel of John, chapter number 10, was number 29. My father is greater than all Gospel of Luke chapter 11,
Chapter 11
Verse number 20, I cast out devil with finger of God, Gospel of John Chapter number five was the Mati. I can have my own self do nothing. As a year I judge and my judgment is just for I think, not my will, but the will of Almighty God. In Arabic, if vcic not my will, but the will of God, he's a Muslim.
So if you read the Bible,
nowhere is it mentioned in the Bible that Jesus case peace be upon him himself claimed divinity. In fact, he said, it's mentioned the Gospel of Matthew, chapter number five was number 7218. I have many things to say. And it said that I have many things to say unto you, but he cannot bear them. Now. For him in the spirit of too shall come he shall get Dalton. Here. If you read in the Bible, nowhere does it say that Jesus claimed divinity, peace be upon him. So Jesus case peace be upon him and the question was asked to him that, oh, good master, what good thing shall I do so that I shall have eternal life and the Gospel of Matthew chapter number 19, verse number 16. He says, Why thou
college can be good, there's only one God and that is Almighty God. And if you want to enter eternal life, you keep the commandments.
So if you read the Bible, there is not a single unequivocal statement with Jesus Christ peace be upon himself claims that he's got.
Now coming to a second question
that
there are four books mentioned the Quran, you said Quran that data from God, Quran Bible.
Nowhere does the Quran say
Is that Bible is the Word of God?
Yes, there are four revelation. The fourth revelation mentioned in the Quran, which are from Almighty God is the torah, the Cebu, the Injeel, and the Quran.
The Torah is the revelation, the Verhey, which was revealed to Moses peace be upon him. Zaboo is over here the revelation the thumbs, which was revealed to David peace be upon him in the not Bible, indeed is the he's the revelation which was equal to Jesus peace be upon him. And Quran is the last and final revelation, which was the will to the last and final messenger, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. I know in Arabic when I say Bible didn't sit in jail, I said, Bob, I said Bible,
in deal is not the translation of the word Bible.
In G the Arabic word given in the Quran talking about the Mahi which was revealed to the salah Salem, Jesus Christ, peace be upon him. Bible is the Greek word coming from the word babe loss, meaning Book of books.
You asked me which do I follow? All the revolution that came before the Quran, they were meant for a particular group of people, and for a particular time period.
Jesus Christ please be born says, I have been sent only to the Lordship of Israel.
That means according to the Bible, Jesus Christ please be open will only send for the Bani Israel only for the Jews, he will not send for all of humanity. That the reason since all the other revelation that came before by name for a mention, but there are many other revelation Almighty Allah sent. Allah says in surah chapter number 13 was number 38. Allah says locally common heart and in every HIV center revolution. But all the revolutions that came before the last and final evolution Quran they were meant for a particular group of people, and for a particular time period. Since Quran is the last and final revolution given to the last and final messenger, Prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him, it was meant for the whole of humanity and yesterday my talk was Quran a global necessity. The Quran was not revealed only for the Muslims or the Arabs, it was revealed for the whole of humanity, it was not meant only for a particular time period, it is mental eternity, that there is an which book should we follow, irrespective of which religion you follow? Whether Hinduism or Christianity according to the Bible.
Jesus Christ peace be upon him said his message and mission in the Gospel of John Chapter number 16, verse number seven, and was number 12 to 14 I have many things to send to you, but he cannot bear them now him in the spirit of through shall come he shall guide you into altered if you can not on the reference when you can google inshallah it will be correct it's talking about the coming upon masala salah and the last and final message the Quran and I've given a talk on similarity which love and Hinduism even Hindu scripture says that the last and final messenger to come that is the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him he's mentioned more than 100 times in the in the Scriptures by name. Even
in the Bible I've given the talk prophecy of Mimosa Rossum in the Bible. So if you ask me the question which book you should follow all the religion finally talk about the last and final messenger Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and the last and final revelation the Quran so today all the human beings irrespective of their living in USA or Uganda or UK or India or Pakistan or Oman or Saudi Arabia you have to follow the last and final message the Quran and the last and final messenger Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him hope to answer the question
sweet take a question from the ladies. And I'll respectfully ask my brothers and sisters to stick only to one question even though it is like a lie my brother that your questions are mashallah very, very good ones but for so everybody gets his chance to ask Michelle with Allah as we have very limited time. Yeah. For sisters and the question okay
Salam Sir, I want the awesome thing connected to the
the teachers
I don't want to say that the camera
Are you a Muslim or non Muslim?
I'm a Christian of
religion is very near to the Muslim ferment the Islam. So I have a question. It's been a long time been wondering, you're most welcome to ask any question. I can take it. You can attack the Quran you can attack me attack Islam, I can take it.
No problem. Okay, so I'm a little shy and nervous because it was my first time. I'm so curious. I'm just like Earlier you told what do we should follow the Islam or the
other I mean the Quran and the Christians.
How do you say that? The Christian Bible, I'm still wondering about the two
you said earlier like I heard
it the Bible is not come from the from the gene is a gene from the the revelation, the revelation of the Quran, amen.
I told earlier I said that the Bible is not the revelation which was given to Jesus can be upon him. Revelation which was given with Jean today Bible is a corrupted form of the revelation in
original form, I guess I see, I see it is not the Bible. In
that revelation which was given to Sally salaam Judith case, peace be upon him, the scholars of Bible and there are more than 24,000 manuscripts of the Bible, no two are identical. That means the present Bible is a work of the human being. It's a mixture of the Word of God award of Prophet word of human being, it's mixed.
Yes, that's what I know a little bit. Now I understand. So the Christians are just like I said that the Bible is corrupted, so
I'm still in trouble.
And if you follow the corrupted Bible, in the corrupted Bible, there is reminiscent of Tawheed talking about one God and differences I know talks about Jesus Christ peace be upon him talking about the last and final mistake the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon it talks about the Quran. So even in this changed Bible, if you follow it strictly, you have to come to the Quran, you have to follow the last and final messenger that the reason I've given a talk on similarity between Islam and Christianity and FA, if Christian means a person who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him. We Muslims are more Christians than the Christian themselves. In the Bible, it says not
to have pork in the Book of Leviticus, chapter 11, Chapter 11, verse number eight, we don't have pork, y'all have pork. It's mentioned the book of Ephesians chapter number five was the meeting. Don't be drunk with wine. We Muslim don't have wine but you have why
the Bible is presupposed. In the first Corinthians chapter number five verse number 11. That is the woman ahead is not covered her hair should be shaved off. We Muslim women cover I hate y'all don't cover. So if Christian means a person who follows the Teachings of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him. I would like to say we Muslims are more Christian than the Christian fences. We love Jesus Christ peace be upon him.
I agree with them to be one of the mightiest messengers of God, but we don't consider him to be God.
I agree, sir. I agree with that.
I
do believe that there's one God. Yeah, I did. I did. I did believe in one God, do you believe that Jesus is God? No, no, very good. Mashallah. Do you believe that Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is the messenger of God? I do. Very good sister, for anyone to enter the fold of Islam. There are minimum two criteria required. Number one, you should believe that there's no God, but Allah.
And secondly, you believe that Prophet Muhammad is the Messenger of God. If you believe in these two basic criteria, you're a Muslim.
Still confused? Sorry. Mr. Do you believe there's one God? Yes, I did. Do you believe Prophet Muhammad is the Messenger of God? Yes, I did. And you're a Muslim, but still other Muslim? Not certified Muslim, but I do believe in it. So if these are the minimum, two things, yes, you may not be a practicing Muslim. But the moment you believe in these two criteria, you are a Muslim, then I am leaving half of that. Sorry, I'm leaving half of your living, living like a half Muslim, right that
there are many Muslims. And Muslims are better than them. There are many Muslims who I know there are only 20% of Islam. You're very good, better than them. Thank you. Sister. Would you like to say the Shahada?
Would you like to sit in Arabic? Still haven't memorized it? Because I don't know.
I
still
believe you don't have to speak Arabic. You don't have to speak Arabic to be a Muslim. Only thing that you agree that there is one God
sin ever since I still believe in one God, very good. And you believe that Prophet Muhammad is a messenger. These two are the minimum two criteria as required for you to accept Islam. Later on the practice comes slowly and slowly. So you say you're following half of it. Very good. You're better than 1000s of Muslims who I know I know. 1000s of Muslims are rolling over half of Islam masliah following half very good
lighting system.
Would you like to follow the other half also?
This is
still in good condition because this is the first time for me, Inshallah, think about it. But it is better that since you have come halfway, you bet across the full day. And when leaving it for seven years, and I pray to Allah subhanaw taala that may give you hidayah may guide you and may give you the courage to follow the balance half of his
Almost inshallah Good luck Alicia thank you
yes question from the gents
yes no question
from ladies again
shall we go there?
Yeah, he seems so yes please
please, if there's any non Muslim brother would like to ask a question
if there is the other non Muslim non Muslim non Muslim Muslims can read and the non Muslim would like to ask a question any clarification any query
this is opportunity normally there's no open question answer session after religious talk you're most of the company non Muslim brother
in a non Muslim sister would like to ask a question a non Muslim sister non Muslim sister
sorry
no non Muslim please non Muslim non Muslims our guest of honors today will give them the opportunity yesterday we had for the Muslims a lot of them are there is any non Muslim sister would like to ask the question
any non Muslim sister any questions? This is your opportunity
Don't feel shy don't feel scared
and non Muslim
Okay, we'll do one question from the Muslim and then endless session.
Yeah. Then agenda I'd like to ask a question from the Muslim side
any other microphone Yeah.
So, now, the second like
I have, I have one question regarding the things that you talked about the Earth and the shape of the Earth.
Okay, as long as I know, that the Earth cannot be round
and human being did never went outside from the earth. There is a verse in Surah Rahman, it says,
Yamaha Ginni will enseignants Tata to him and 10 for Lumenok Tata somehow it will have the font for the Latin for Luna Illa busulfan. Many people say now that Sultan is knowledge, the new technology, this mode into in our modern time that the technology is very superior that they think that Sultan is the knowledge itself but when we continue this verse
Febi, ala Arabic OMA to Caliban, yourself Valley commercial lagoon menar in one Hudson
fell out onto Ceylon. So as far as I know that human did never went outside from the earth and also within the Earth itself. They did not went even far. I think they'll carnation,
the only person who went very far, he went to a specific location of the sunset, hotel,
hotel Bella Margarita chips, which are the heart of Robo Fang and hammock. Let me give the question shot brother everyone. DVT Yeah, I know. This is I'm in the field. I can understand the question. Yeah, it's my field. Yeah. So this is my question. What do you think about this? The brother has no question that the world is not round. And I never said the world is round. In my speech, I clearly said the world the physical oblate spheroid acid, and the word the HA means and egg. It is fun from the poll. I said a bit fast. So you didn't hear me correctly. Point number two, you said that the Quran says that no one can travel outside the earth. And you quoted the translation was wrong. No
one can go outside except with the power of Allah. The word full ban is translated with the power of Allah. If Allah gave permission, you can go you didn't have acid, not the first thing to say that you cannot go outside the world. It says you can only with the permission of Allah and for you to say that you're no human means going outside the world is wrong. Your knowledge of the science is weak. And even of the facet of the Quran V. The Mufasa in they say this was the Quran means you can only go with the permission of Allah and Allah has given permission. So without the permission of Allah you cannot say If Allah gives permission you can go and of course it says here the fact that
human beings have gone in the moon and have gone other places, enough evidence is there and the Quran is not negating that. The problem is when we speak about Quran and science your knowledge of Quran should be good and your knowledge of science should be good. If it is not good. There will be a problem that the non
Muslims will feel that the Quran is outdated or the Quran is not compatible. What do you have to feel that the Quran is far superior to science much more advanced in science? So that is the reason the Quran says in Surah Ambia chapter 21 Verse number seven, and Suren hell chapter 1643. First Allahu Allah Zicree in gondola Tala moon, if you don't know at the person knowledgeable
that's the question
okay brothers and sisters we have like five minutes. So, any question.
So, there is a review, please mr. biller
So, how are they going what Mattila houbara Koto? My name is Eman, and I'm an assistant trainer at the University of Technology Applied Science in outwear. Elsewhere. My question is for a non Muslim, because can you please give an advice to those non Muslims who wants to revert to Islam, but they are afraid because the family may or might be angry with them.
The sister has asked a very important question. She would like my advice. That what advice can you give to a non Muslim who'd like to accept Islam they agree with the principle Islam, but they're afraid that the family will not like it. And the family may be rejected, they may feel bad. And this is a common human feeling.
I don't disagree with them. But the advice that I can give is that first you should get convinced
that Islam is the correct Deen. It is the correct religion. And if that human being is convinced that there is no God but Allah, and Prophet Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, then he should take a step forward. If he really realizes that our God is our Creator.
And the main purpose of this life is as Allah says in surah Daria chapter 51, verse 56, Allah says Rama colloquial didn't never incite allele, Abdul, that we have created the jinn and the men not but to worship me. So if that non Muslim realizes the basic concept of Islam, that will mean create as Allah subhanaw taala
why do we don't want to hurt our parents and our family? Because we love our mother, we love our sister, we love our brother. You know, my mother has given us birth, and the parents have looked after us, the father looked after. So it's a good human feeling, don't want to hurt them. But if they realize that our Creator Allah subhana wa Taala is far superior than our parents. How can we hurt our Creator, if they don't want to hurt the parent, if they don't want to hurt the father? If they don't want to hurt the family member? Then they hurt the Creator.
And our Creator, He has given us everything.
The house, the clothes, the wealth, do we thank him the water we drink the enemy breed. If you don't get the air for half an hour, you will die.
How many times have you thanked him? So my advice to these
people who want to embrace Islam, but are reluctant because of the parents, they love them. It's a good feeling, but they have to take a step forward. Because they should love Allah more than the parents. Because Almighty God has given them the life have given them then Yama has given life to the parents also. And if they really loved the parents, I would advise them first they should try and save themselves from the hellfire and secondly save their parents.
If I love my parent, and if I know there is danger coming What will I do? I will save my parent and myself both I know it's okay if I cannot. If I cannot save I will also die No. So first when you realize that the only way you can go to China, the only way you can go to Paradise is by believing in one God and following his commandment. What do you have to do? First save yourself you know when you go in a plane
there is instruction that if the air pressure is less the oxygen masks will fall down.
All of may have been to print Correct. All expected right? Yes or no? And when the oxygen mask falls down it says first put on yourself not only a child
put on yourself first why? If you try to put on the child, even you latch I will die if you put on yourself. You are happy. You are strong. Now you can save your child Right?
Right.
So when you come to know the mask is going to save you
Oh what we match I think I'm saving myself first. No, you have to save yourself to save your
child. If you try and save your child even even though you will die. Similarly, when you went alive given you die and not to your parents, it's your duty that I first accept Islam and give the message to my parents if you don't do it. You're betraying your parents also.
I'm using the word betray. It's a very harsh word.
Because once you get the guidance of Allah, when you can save yourself from the fire, then only can you save your relatives. If you love your parents, if you love your relatives will love your friend forced to put on the oxygen mask yourself.
And after putting oxygen mask yourself, then you put on whether you're successful or not the secondary at least you save yourself and you try your level best to save your family members. Maybe 50% Downs maybe 90% chance but if you don't wear the oxygen mask both will die. So I request the non Muslims who have got the message of Islam 50% Very good
50% Very good
50% Very high Mashallah. She says she follows proof people that Islam very good
to put on the oxygen mask. You have to believe into great detail only that there is no God but Allah and Prophet Muhammad is the messenger. Hope that answers the question. Yes, Sister Messiah.
Then we have the microphone here. Or the other non Muslim? Oh, yes, sister. non Muslim. Okay, fine. First filter give to the Gen. I don't want them to say that the new quality you know, you have a Gen fossa. You have whether any media professional
slavery concern, excuse me, my name is assumptions. And I just want to ask the question on behalf of my friend, he is a non Muslim, but he's feeling shy to come here to the stage to ask the question. So on his behalf, I'm asking the question. He just wants to know, where in the Hindu scriptures is has been mentioned, the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon you is the final messenger, just to you wants to know the reference so that he just asked me that. So he's not able to ask you that. He's already here. He's sitting here. So on his behalf, I just want to put you the questions. Thank you. Ask the question that is friend of the Hindu friend wants to know where is Prophet Muhammad peace be upon
him mentioned in the Hindu scripture more than 100 times? For the full answer. Refer to my talk Mohammed Salah Salem, in the Hindu scriptures. In short, I will tell you one important many is mentioned the Rigveda a terrible way to deal with some with I'll give you one quotation that also he's mentioned in Kalki Purana. Chapter number two was number 579 1115. It says that he will be born a father name will be would be Vishnu. Yes. Vishnu. He asked means servant of Allah translate to Arabic Abdullah, his mother name would be Sumati meaning peace and serenity in Arabic. It is Amina. So the Scripture in the scripture says the name of the anthem Rishi the last and final messenger.
Father's name will be Vishnu. Yes, Abdullah mother's name will be Amina. He'll be born in the city of peace, which is Mecca. He left for friends talking about the phone call for Russia when he left angels that will help him in the battlefield. I'm giving you reference. Thank you Brianna chapter number two was number five seven living nine he is mentioned as the full talk of one and a half or
so the details of mama Salah Psalm in Hindu scriptures are more than the Bible also.
There are various prophecies given in the various scriptures and request your friend to hear my talk on mama Salah Salem in the scripture of dances the question
the non Muslim listener
Yes, it's the most Welcome
Hi, sir. Good evening, sir. I'm a first time Yes No problem. I'm a first timer in this event and I'm also first time
first timer
and then I'm devoted Catholic, I just want to listen and understand before I go into something, I like to audit Catholic because Quran said the devoted Catholics are closest to the Muslims. Okay. I have a question, sir. Why is it that the liquor is prohibited? And if ever they drink in a liquor that is according to the standard amount of of that liquor, what will be the what is the implications if they drink it? And my second question, sir, why there are haram foods for Islam and if they have eaten it without
their knowledge, what will happen to them? I mean what is also the implication so so that's true question number one, why is alcohol prohibited? Why alcohol is prohibited?
And if they drink according to the standard amount of liquor, what will be the implication of being an Islam what will happen to them under their system? As I mentioned, my talk Quran prohibits drinking alcohol in Surabaya. Chapter Five of Psalm 90. Even the Bible by prohibits the drinking of alcohol in the book of Ephesians, chapter number five, verse number 18, where it is mentioned, do not be drunk with wine. It's also privated in the book of Proverbs, chapter number 20, verse number one. So Bible prohibits alcohol into places you can go down if you want. If you're a devout Christian, if you're a devout Christian, Bible privates in two places book of Ephesus chapter five,
verse number 18, a book of Proverbs chapter 20, verse number one. Now coming to your question, why does Islam prohibit alcohol? And if someone has alcohol within the limit,
then what is the harm? With the question? Is I being a medical doctor, I've given a full talk on why alcohol prohibited I've given a talk on scientific reasons for the dietary laws in Islam, it will take me as a medical doctor, I can list your hundreds of diseases only for my call
time will not permit me.
There are a number of umpteen number of diseases.
The main reason is that when you have alcohol in the human body, there is an inhibitory center. inhibitory center means if I want to go to the toilet, my inhibitory centers don't do it here, go to the restroom. My inhibitory is working. When you have alcohol, the inhibitory center is inhibited.
The inhibitory is and then you don't know what you're doing. You start you the foul language, you start urinating in your clothes. That is when you get intoxicated.
I'm coming to questions I'm coming
so one of the reasons that alcohol is prohibited because you don't know what you're doing, you may abuse your parents you may use foul language you may do insist, you know most of the interests are done incest means having lationship mother and son, father and daughter most of the incidents in the state of intoxication and the list is long if you have a full talk the number of diseases you can have cancer with cancer of their own you can tell us about the level of the list is very long. Coming to your question, what if I have alcohol in limits
and limits a prophet says in hypnagogia Hadith number
3399339943992 that if anything intoxicating large quantity is prohibited even small quantity
anything within toxic it's a large quantity means you have a capacity okay fine normally maybe half bag intoxicating, okay fine, I can have quarterback no problem.
But the prophet said anything we in toxic in large quantity, large quantity is even prime mineral small quantity, no excuse for new product. But the reason is today because of alcoholism. Do you know two and a half million people die every year because of alcoholism?
Because of alcoholism, according to who who two and a half million people die because of alcoholism alone every year.
Now coming to your question,
when you ask any alcoholic, no alcoholic starts having alcohol to become alcoholic. He is first a social drinker. social drinker means drinking with the limits.
You ask all the alcoholic no alcohol if you say that I started drinking alcohol to become alcoholic, maybe you will find one in a million maybe. So all of them start with that peg, half peg a quarter peg, it becomes one peg into big depending on the whiskey or is it is beer, beer you can have more whiskey you can have less.
Our Beloved Prophet said no excuse for nipa tot. If It intoxicates in large quantity. It's even primarily small content that is very logical. If this was the case this if I'd agree with you, you wouldn't have two and a half million people dying every year. Every year in the last 10 years 25 million people died. And if we interview them, they never they always started with us.
So I'm asking you if you want to jump from
from a two storey building or a three storey building the chances of dying you 50% really jump
really jump.
So the question is that if you're intoxicated fine, there may be possibility that if you have alcohol social drinker, you may not be as bad as health wise, but imagine if to get drunk once in your life. I don't know a social drinker who has been drinking for five years and has not get intoxicated once in the life.
You understand? If you get intoxicated once by Mr. Gamma extra peg,
and then you do insist, then you forgive yourself.
Sister, can you forgive yourself?
Yes or no? Only once? Insist? If Oh no.
So that's the reason Islam says it is prohibited for good. And that's the best. There may be, if logically I can agree with you, out of 10,000 people they may be three four people who will not get dogs who will
three or four people out of 10,000 people whose health will be very good, all the people's health are bad. Maybe three, four, health is good in intoxicated, three, four out of 10,000 What is the risk?
What is the risk? Then you take risk.
So that the reason our Creator Allah subhanaw taala, the Creator, He knows best what is good for us right or wrong? So he has put it he has nipped it at the bud nipping in the bud means
don't let it happen. That is in Islam. You know,
it says I didn't complete my second part. No.
fornication, adultery is common in human value. No problem. sleeping with someone you have not made it no problem. And Islam is a big problem. Islam says in Surah Surah chapter 17 Verse number 31 come not close to adultery, it's an evil opening others to evil. How do they start? Shaking hands? I'm not saying everyone who shake hands. The role three but no adulty starts without shaking hands right or wrong.
Then you mean you can do dinner with a girl and a boy without shaking hand? Sister anything of it?
Kind of fornication takes place without shaking hands.
I'm not saying every girl and boy who shakes and does fornication. I'm not saying that. But every fornication starts with shaking. And so what do you do? You stop nip it in the bud in Islam? You cannot shake hands with an opposite sex with a non Muslim haram Why
is it going to spoil the family life So Islam has the solution to the problems of manatee so you can when sister that alcohol is prohibited
and if you're a devout Christian, even the Bible says you should not have Do you ever go sister you have
so inshallah you stop it.
So Bible says literally haram if you say chapter five or some way it in Proverbs chapter 20, verse number one giving you references and you say that are devout Christian, how can a devout Christian go against the Bible?
Little so little, and devout?
I would, I would like you to study Islam Sister, you know, we believe that
a person should follow the values of life the topic of the world and human values.

There were 60,000 books written against Islam and the Prophet 60,000. Now it's increased. So depending upon how the media portrays Islam, and you might have heard I said the solution for terrorism is there in Quran I said that your dance of mind but the West is blaming Muslims to be terrorist I don't know.
My government is saying that I'm a terrorist. Do I look like a terrorist? No. But the government is saying that what we have to do
