00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			The brother asked a question
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:03
			that
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			even in Christianity,
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			like Islam,
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			God is 1
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			and God loves the creation.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			And what is the difference between Islamic form
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:15
			of worship
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			as compared to other form of worship? What
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			is so unique? And Christianity also says God
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			is 1. Christianity says that God also loves
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			Islam says God is 1. Islam says God
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			also loves the Christian. Islam says worship. Christianity
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			says worship. What is the difference between the
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			worship of Islam and Christianity? Or what is
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			the uniqueness about Islam as compared to other
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			religions? Mainly talking about Christianity. Brother,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			on the face of it, if you read
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			the Quran correctly
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			and the interpretation I gave in my talk,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			and if you read the Bible correctly, that's
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			the correct interpretation.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			We believe
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			that Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, he
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			was one of the mightiest messengers of Allah
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			No Muslim is a Muslim if he does
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			not believe in Jesus Christ, peace be upon
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			him. We believe that he was born miraculously
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			without any male intervention. We believe that he
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			was the Messiah translated Christ. We believe that
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			he heals those born blind and leopards with
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			God's permission. We believe
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			that he gave life to the dead
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			with God's permission.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			But
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			there are part in your face.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			There are many Christians
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			who say that Jesus Christ, peace be upon
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			him, he claimed divinity.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			Now the difference between what the Bible says
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			and the difference between what the Christians assume
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			and what they practice,
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			the the difference between that. So many Christians
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			say that Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			he claimed divinity. So when they say God
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			is 1, they say Jesus Christ, peace be
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			upon him, is God, which we Muslims take
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			objection to. There is not a single unequivocal
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			statement
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			in the complete Bible where Jesus Christ, peace
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			be upon him, says that I am God
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			or where he says, worship me.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			So the form of worship for the normal
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			Christian is worshiping Jesus Christ, peace be upon
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			him. And I repeat my statement, there is
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			not a single unequivocal statement in the complete
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			Bible where Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			himself says that I am God or where
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			he says, Worship me. If any Christian can
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			show me any unequivocal statement in the Bible
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			where Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, says,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			I am God or where he says, worship
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			me, I, Doctor. Zakir, I am ready to
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			accept Christianity today. I am ready to put
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			my head on the guillotine.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			I don't speak on behalf of my other
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			Muslim brothers because if you read the Bible,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			it it is mentioned in the gospel of
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			John, chapter number 14, verse number 28. Jesus
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			Christ, peace be be be, have only said
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			that my father is greater than I. Gospel
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			of John, chapter number 10, verse number 29.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			My father is greater than all. Gospel of
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			Matthew, chapter number 12, verse number 28.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			I, with the spirit of God, cast out
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			devils. Gospel of Luke, chapter number 11, verse
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			number 20. I, with the finger of God,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			cast out devils. Gospel of John, chapter number
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			5, verse number 30. I can, of my
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			own self, do nothing. As I hear, I
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			judge. And my judgment is just. For I
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			seek not my will, but the will of
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			my father. Anyone who says I seek not
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			my will, but the will of almighty God
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			is a Muslim. Therefore, I said in my
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			talk that Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			was a Muslim. Quran says that in Surah
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			Al Imran chapter 3 verse 52. It's further
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			mentioned in the Gospel of John chapter number
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			17 verse number 3, this is life eternal
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			so that you may know Jesus Christ whom
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			thou hast sent.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			It's mentioned in the gospel of John, chapter
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			number 14, verse number 24.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			The words you hear are not mine, but
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			my father's who has sent me.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			It's clearly mentioned in the book of Acts,
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			chapter number 2, verse number 22. Emen of
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			Israel, listen to this, Jesus of Nazareth, a
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			man approved of God amongst you by wonders
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			and miracles which God did by Him and
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			you have witnessed to it. A man approved
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			of God amongst you by wonders and miracles
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			which God did by him and you witnessed
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			to it. So Jesus Christ, peace be upon
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			him, was one of the mightiest messengers of
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			God but he never claimed divinity. He never
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			said you should worship me. But unfortunately,
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			the Christian church today they teach that salvation.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			Bible also talks about heaven, talks about *,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			but the purpose of existence
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			is not mentioned in detail.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			It's not mentioned at all except
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			what Paul has mentioned.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			Paul mentioned in
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			Corinthians, chapter number 15.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			He says, in the 1st Corinthians, chapter number
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			15, that
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			if Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, died
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			not for your sins, your faith is in
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:14
			vain
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			and everything is in vain. That means Jesus
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			Christ, peace be upon him, he died for
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			your sins, according to Paul.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			And the quote,
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			the verse of the Bible,
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			gospel of John chapter number 3, verse number
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			16, that for God so loved the world
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			that He gave His only begotten Son, whosoever
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			believeth in Him shall not die but have
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			everlasting life. So the concept of salvation according
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			to the church is that you believe Jesus
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			Christ, peace be upon death, for your sins
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			and you shall go to Jannah. You shall
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			go to paradise,
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			which is not mentioned because the word begotten
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			from gospel of John chapter number 3 verse
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			number 16 has been thrown out by scholar,
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			the highest eminence from the RSV, revised version
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			of the bible, as a concoction, as a
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			fabrication, as interpolation.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			So what they're following is more Pauline Christianity.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			But Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, said,
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			when a person approaches him in the gospel
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			of Matthew, chapter number 19, verse number 16
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			and 17, that good master, what good thing
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			shall I do so that I shall gain
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			eternal life?
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			What good thing shall I do so that
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			I shall go to paradise?
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17
			So Jesus Christ peed upon replies, why thou
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20
			callest me good? There is none good except
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			1, there is almighty God. And if thou
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			want to enter eternal life, you follow the
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			commandments.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			He didn't say that if you want to
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			go to Jannah, want to go to paradise,
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			you believe I died for your sins. He
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			never said that. He said follow the commandments.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			And Jesus Christ, peace be upon us. It's
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			mentioned in the gospel of Matthew, chapter number
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			5, verse number 17 to 20. That think
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			not that I am come to destroy the
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			law of the prophets. I have come not
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			to destroy, but to fulfill.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			Unless the heaven and the earth pass away,
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			not one daughter shall be passed away from
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			the law until all be fulfilled. And whosoever
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			shall keep the commandments and teach men to
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			do so shall be called great in the
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			kingdom of heaven. And whosoever shall break one
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:58
			of the least commandments
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			will be called least in the kingdom of
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			heaven. Unless your righteousness
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			exceeds the righteousness of the skies and the
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			Pharisees, in no way shall you enter into
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			paradise. Because if you want to be a
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			good Christian, you have to follow all the
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			commandments. There's only one God, you should not
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			do idol worship. All what Moses, peace be
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			upon him, said. So here we analyze if
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			we do a research of the biblical scriptures,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			it is actually believing in one God, not
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:19
			trinity.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			Allah says in the Quran in Surah Nisa
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			chapter 4171
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			don't say tinity.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			This has stopped it better for you. So
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			if you say God is 3 in 1,
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:30
			it is shirk.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			You won't get salvation.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:35
			There's no statement at all about Trinity. The
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			word Trinity does not exist anywhere in the
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			Bible, but it's there in the Quran.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			Beside Surah Nisa chapter 4, verse 171, it
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			is also there in Surah Mydah chapter number
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			5, verse number 73.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			It says
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			They are doing kuf, they are blaspheming those
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			who say that God is the real one.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			The word tinnitus doesn't exist anywhere in the
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			bible. The closest statement is the 1st epistle
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			of John, chapter number 5 verse number 7
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			which says, for there are 3 that bear
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			record in heaven, the Father, the Son and
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			the Holy Ghost and these 3 are 1.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			And this verse of the bible by scholars
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			of the highest permanent Christian scholars.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			In the revised standard version of the bible,
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			they've thrown this verse out of the bible
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			as interpolation, as a fabrication,
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			as a concoction. So the verse which come
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			closest to the renity, doesn't mention tinnity but
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			comes closest, is thrown out by the scholars
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			of Christianity as a fabrication.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:22
			So if he analyzed,
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			if you want to check what is right
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			in the bible, here is the furcan. This
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			is the criteria. It will tell you what
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			is right, what is wrong. And if you
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			compare with this, and even today if you
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			read the Bible, the Bible never claims that
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			Jesus is God, peace be upon him. It
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			says you should worship only 1 God. And
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			when Jesus Christ, peace be upon us, that
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			which is the first of the commandments, it's
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			mentioned in the gospel of Mark chapter number
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			12. Verse number 29 says,
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			It's a Hebrew quotation which means you're O
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			Israel, the Lord, our God is 1 Lord.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			The problem is that if you read the
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			Bible, the exact purpose of creation is not
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			mentioned. It is vague. The Christian
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			church has taken up a teaching of Paul,
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			Saint Paul,
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			and says that you believe Jesus Christ, peace
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			be upon, died for our sins and you
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			will go to heaven. Then you do anything,
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			you rob, you *, you do anything
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			If he's paid for our sins. If Jesus
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			Christ, peace be upon, paid for our sins,
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			I can do anything.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			For example, someone tells me to a restaurant,
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			go to the restaurant, eat what you want.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			I've paid your bill. I can eat anything.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			Chicken, mutton, biryani, anything I can eat. So
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			if Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, I
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			died for my sins,
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			then you can commit any sin and you
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			go to heaven, only have to believe that
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			he died for your sins. So this is
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			a concept of the church which is not
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			what the Bible mentions, and you can refer
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			to my video cassette similarities between Islam and
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			Christianity,
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			which gives the similarities.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			That's the reason I say that Jesus Christ
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			taught nothing but Islam that is submitting the
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			will to Almighty God.
