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