My name is Wazum Tumishak.
One thing. Wazum Tum. Wazum. Meshak.
So my questions go like this. It has
been preached severally that Islam is a religion
of peace.
Then in the Quran, I found out in
Surah 47
verse 4, and I quote.
47 verse 4, what does it say?
When you encounter those who disbelieve, strike at
their neck, then when you have rooted them,
bind them faith family then either release them
by grace or by ramson until all lay
down in burdens
had god will he could have defeated them
himself but he tossed test some of you
by means of others as for those who
are killed in the way of God. You
will not let
their deed go to waste.
So if Islam is a religion of peace,
then why will
God now ask you to kill a fellow
person that because he doesn't believe you're in
a religion? Very good question. Brother is quoting
the verse of Muhammad chapter 47 verse number
4, but out of context. You know, out
of context? Out of context.
He is quoting, therefore, when he meet the
unbeliever in fight, he forgot the word in
fight.
Smite at the neck at length. If you
read the earlier verses, it's talking about
a war.
A war with the unbelievers.
And verse number 4 says,
in the war, when you meet the unbelievers,
you smite at their neck. I'm asking you
a question. If a robber enters your house,
what will you do?
Will you give him a cup of tea?
No. But he's not talking about it. I'm
ask I'm asking you, will you have a
cup of tea? Suppose the robber comes, tries
and rapes your mother, what will you do?
I'll fight him. Why?
What? Yes. And you're a man of peace.
Talking about that. If a robber come and
wants to * your mother, what will you
do?
I'll fight him. Then my other question is
No. No. Because
actually,
My, this is not a Robert. This is
talking at read 1 number 1. Go from
verse number 1. Those who reject Allah and
hinder in their part. Those who believe and
do righteous deed, just because of them reject
them, then they come to war. The enemies
of Allah, when they come to war, don't
get scared.
So what? I'm asking question. Where? If if
Nigeria has a war with another country
another country, the army general of Nigeria, what
will he say? Oh, don't get scared. Fight
them. He'll not say, okay, go. When they
come, you give your neck at them. What
nonsense are you talking? Sir, why ask these
questions? Let me complete the answer.
You're asking the question, now you know you're
trapped. Let me complete the answer.
So this is talking in the battlefield.
In the battlefield,
when you kill the enemies who come to
kill you, this is peace.
Okay. What does the police do?
The police of Nigeria supposed to keep peace.
Correct?
How do they carry a gun?
Those who want to disrupt the peace, so
the rule is, you can use violence as
a last resort
to maintain peace those who want to disrupt
peace. Do you understand?
That means you can use violence
against those people,
against those criminal who want to disrupt peace.
This is the golden rule. That's the reason
every country
has a police,
has a army.
Just because Nigeria has a police force, doesn't
Nigeria want peace?
It won't be the fort as police. The
same way God is telling in the Quran,
when the enemies come to attack you in
the battlefield,
don't get scared. You strike at the neck.
So what is wrong with it?
It doesn't mean because you have to follow
the Quran as a whole. Verse number surahmaida
chapter 5 verse 32 says, if anyone kills
any other human being,
whether Muslim or non Muslim, Unless it before
murder or for spreading corruption in the land,
he has killed all of humanity. That's a
part of the Quran.
2 verses cannot contradict.
That means these
people are spreading corruption in the land. Do
you understand?
So if you're spreading corruption in the land,
that time you can kill them. Do you
understand?
But killing any any innocent human being is
like killing the whole of humanity. Is there
any verse in the Bible
which says, if you kill 1 innocent human
being, you have killed the whole of humanity?
Is there any verse in the Bible?
So which is better for peace? Quran or
the Bible?
Peace.
Which is better? Peace.
Quran.
The Quran says, if you save any human
being,
innocent human being, whether Muslim or non Muslim,
it is as though you have saved the
whole of humanity.
Is there any such verse in the Bible?
So which is better?
Peace. At the same time, in the battlefield,
when the enemies come and disrupt peace, fight
them, kill them. No problem.
What's Do you understand? Let me say something.
Why I ask this question Have you understood
the answer? Yes. I've understood. Now do you
understand that Quran is talking about peace?
Okay, sir. Why I ask these questions because
last year No. Why you asked? I don't
want to know. You asked a question. I
don't want to know why you asked. You
got the answer
I want to give you a reference to
the question. Sorry? I want to give you
a reference.
You already give the reference. I already give
the answer.
Something happened last year in a university in
Sokoto or a polytechnic where
me. Yeah. So? You get? So and I
observed that when a Christian and a Muslim
are interacting religious discussion
and the Muslim get
You're cured by your blasphemies. The brother asked
the question, there was a Christian then you
did blasphemy.
So the rule of the Quran is for
a maida Chapter number 5 verse number 33.
Anyone who mentions of war against Allah or
is Rasool, you either execute them
or you chop off the opposite hand or
live or crucify them or exile them. There
are 4 options.
Anyone who wages a war against Allah and
his Rasool, anyone does blasphemy,
either execute
either execute, either chop opposite hands
and legs
or crucify
or exile. Four option.
Now why they took the option of that,
you have to ask them. So this is
the rule of Allah in the Quran.
You cannot blaspheme God.
It's a big sin.
Okay. So this is the rule. This is
for peace because if you don't do that,
that lady will do more corruption. The full
world will be unpeaceful. Hope that answers the
question.
