			A
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:06
			very good question, has asked that
the world is so big and Islam just
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:10
			14 years back, according to him,
and people may not know about
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			Islam, somebody believes in Shiva
as Lord or Brahma as Lord. So
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			what's the problem? Someone
believes that Jesus Christ is God.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			What's wrong? I being a student of
comparative religion, besides
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			Quran saying it is wrong. Even the
Hindu scripture says and the
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:27
			Christian scriptures regarding
Jesus, says, God. I quoted. So if
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			the Christian scripture says it is
wrong, so why should the Christian
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			worship tomorrow? Someone calls
you God,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:37
			someone calls me God, whatever
greet, what we have to read, what
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:41
			is wrong is wrong regarding
calling Brahma, calling Brahma as
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:46
			God, ashiva, as God. If you
analyze these statements, I
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			mentioned Rigveda, Rigveda book
number two, hymn number one, verse
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			number three, there are no less
than 33 attributes given to
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			Almighty God in Rigveda book to
him, one alone, one of them is
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			Brahma. Brahma is called Creator
God. If you translate creator of
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:03
			Arabic, it means Khaliq. We
Muslims have got no objection. If
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			someone says Almighty God is
Khaliq or creator or Brahma. But
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			if someone says Brahma is Almighty
God who has got four hands and on
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			each head is the crown, we Muslims
take strong objection to it.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			Moreover, you are going against
Yajurveda, chapter number three to
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			verse number three, which says
Natha sepati Masti, of that God.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:23
			There are no images. Same thing,
Vishnu. Vishnu, this is called
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:28
			Sustainer God. If you translate
Sustainer or cherisher into
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			Arabic, Rab, we Muslims have got
no objection if someone calls
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			Almighty God as Rab or Sustainer
or cherisher or Vishnu. But if you
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			say Vishnu is Almighty God who is
traveling on a couch of snakes, he
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			has got four hands. One hand. Is a
diskless left hand. He has a
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			conch. He starving a bird of
Garuda. We take strong objection
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49
			to it. Moreover, you are going
against Shweta, Satara, Upanishad,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			chapter number four, verse number
19, which says nata sepati Masti
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56
			of him, there are no images. So
brother, if certain people follow
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			wrong things, if they follow
Brahma, the creator has got no
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			images, the Almighty without
associating partners. There's no
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:07
			problem regarding a question that
people may not know Islam. Islam,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			brother, as I said in my talk, is
not a new religion which came into
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
			existence 14 years back. It is the
same time immemorial. And Jesus
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:18
			Christ, peace be upon him, also.
Not Islam. He said, Not my will,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			gospel of John, chapter five,
verse 30, not my will but the will
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			of my Father. Anyone who says not
my will but will of Almighty God
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			is a Muslim. So Jesus Christ,
peace be upon him, by the Muslim,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			he taught nothing but submitting a
will to God, which he would
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			translate into Arabic means Islam.
Adam, peace be upon him. Taught
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			nothing but submitting a will to
alter Almighty God. Noah, taught
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			nothing but submitting a will to
Almighty God. Moses taught nothing
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			but submit the will to Almighty
God Jesus taught nothing but
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			submitting evil to Almighty God,
may peace be upon them all, if you
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			transcend the Arab it Islam.
Muhammad, sallAllahu, Sallam is
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			the last and final messenger. He
was not sent only for the Muslims
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			or the Arabs. Allah says in the
Quran in surah Ambia, chapter
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			number 21 was number 107
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			that we have sent thee not but as
a mercy to the whole of humanity
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:04
			as a mercy, the whole of mankind
as a mercy to all the creatures,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			as a mercy to all the worlds.
Therefore, it is the duty of every
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			Muslim. I ended my talk by saying
the quotation of the Quran of
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			Surah Al Imran, Chapter Three was
110 which says it's the duty of
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:18
			every Muslim to convey the message
of Islam to the others. And Allah
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			says in the Quran in surah
fusilah, chapter number 41 verse
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:25
			number 53 Allah says sanuri, him,
ayatina, Phila, faki but fi
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:31
			anusim, Hatha, yet Soon we shall
show them Our signs in the first
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:35
			decision of the horizons and into
their souls, until it is clear to
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38
			them that this is the truth. There
may be some people living in some
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			far off island which no one may
have heard about Islam, according
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			to you, Allah says He will put the
message of the Creator in
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			everyone's heart, by the signs in
the horizons and into the soul. So
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			Allah, Subhanahu wa Tara, the
Creator, He Himself, will give the
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			message of submitting the will to
God directly.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			So even if we don't do the job,
yet he will get the message. And
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:03
			then if you reject it, you will be
a loser if you accept it, you have
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			passed this test. Hope that
answers the question you.
