			The first question is
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			from a non Muslim
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:19
			he think Peace be upon you. My name is Abraham from New Delhi. The question if when people revert
back to Islam, like Cassius Clay,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			Sonny Bill Williams, and Mike Tyson
		
00:00:26 --> 00:01:15
			and many more. So Muslims said that God gave them guidance hedaya So that's why they reverted. I
wanted to know why he God didn't give guidance to everyone. Why he gave guidance to some people and
not to all and this is a very important question by Abra. Abraham, Allah says, in the Glorious
Quran, in Surah Yunus chapter number 10, was from 99, that if he wanted, he could have made all the
human beings in this world as believers. So for Allah to make 100% of the human beings now there are
more than 7.7 5 billion human beings for Allah to make all the human beings as believers as Muslim
is very economical. But the question is, that we human beings are one of the best creations of Allah
		
00:01:15 --> 00:02:00
			subhanaw taala and Allah says in the Quran in surah multitap number 67 was number two under the
cultural motto al Hatta, it is he was created that and life to test which of us good indeed. So,
this life is a test for the hereafter. So, when you are coming in coming for a test for an
examination, the supervisor cannot help you. And even if you do something wrong can person I mean
supervisor can, can, can feed that you don't, that you don't break the rules, the teacher can give
you grace marks, but cannot pass you if you have failed and did not write anything or broke all the
rules. So in the same fashion, regarding the question, if Allah wanted you could omit all the human
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:35
			being the Muslim but then what is the difference? All the declaration of Allah subhanaw taala except
the Jinda and human beings, they obey Him. So what difference is in the creation of human beings?
Regarding Why does he select few people, there are some criteria for Allah to select who he guides.
Allah says in the Quran surah and booth chapter number 29 was 269. That if you strive in the pathway
of Allah subhanaw taala he will open up your pathways that means anyone whether Muslim or non
Muslim, if he strived if he struggles,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:03:13
			in the path of Almighty God, Allah subhanaw taala he will open up the path with all these people,
whether it be cash is clear, whether it be Mike Tyson, whether it whether it be cashed even if you
read the history, when when they were not Muslim, they strive like you if you hear the story, the
background of cash even with a pop singer, now with colleagues of Islam, when his life was in
danger, he said that if if you saved my life, oh my god, I will dedicate my life towards you. And
then someone gives me a copy of the Quran. He read the Quran and he came close to Islam. So if you
strive irrespective whether you're a Christian or a Hindu, or a non Muslim, if we sincerely strive
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:46
			to come close to Allah subhanaw taala you will come close to Almighty God Allah subhanaw taala. So
the only criteria required for you striving and struggling that I want to find the true Almighty God
and follow His commandments. Inshallah, Allah will get to closer whether you will read the Quran
come close to Allah, whether you will hear the lecture for diet come close to Allah, you may attend
the event you may hear the adhan, the main criteria is you strive to conclude that Almighty God and
inshallah Allah will give you that. Hope that answers the question.
