Zakir Naik – Will There be a Uniformity of Faith in This World

00:00:03 --> 00:00:04

Good afternoon, doctor.

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07

I got to know you yesterday,

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10

and I tried to

00:00:10 --> 00:00:13

watch some of your videos on YouTube,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

and I try as much as possible to

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

listen to you today when you

00:00:19 --> 00:00:19

speak. So

00:00:20 --> 00:00:21

I respect your

00:00:22 --> 00:00:22

faith

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

and being a veteran

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

in the faith.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

So, sir, I'm not here to compete with

00:00:30 --> 00:00:30

you

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

as a veteran,

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

and I'm not yet to argue because I

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

know this issue that we are

00:00:44 --> 00:00:47

Okay. So the question I want to ask

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

is that

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

would there be a way

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

that there is going to be a generation

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

or this hard generation

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

that we are going to come to the

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

position of uniformity of faith?

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

That's all. Thank you.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

The Buddha asked a very good question that

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

is there going to be a time in

00:01:08 --> 00:01:08

our generation

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

where there'll be uniformity of faith?

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

Yes. There will be.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

Quran says that.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

When will we all believe in one faith?

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

Today we know

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

because people are misguiding,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

and there has to be to know what

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

is truth, you have to verify.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30

That's what has come. So we believe, as

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

I told you, Islam is the only non

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

Christian faith which makes an article of faith

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

to believe in Jesus Christ peace be upon

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

him. No Muslim is a Muslim unless he

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

believes in Jesus, peace be upon him.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

Does the church say you have to believe

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

in prophet Muhammad? No.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

So only the uniformity can come,

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

we believe in all the prophets of

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53

mentioned in the Bible.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

We only tell you, take one step forward.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

Believe in prophet Muhammad.

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

And prophet Muhammad has been prophesied in the

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

Bible,

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

In the book of Deuteronomy chapter number 18

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

verse number 18. In the book of Deuteronomy

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

chapter number 18 verse number 19. In the

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

book of Isaiah chapter number 12 verse number

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

29. In In the song of Solomon, chapter

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14

number 5, verse number 16.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

He's also profiled

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

in the in the new testament.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

He's prophesied in the gospel of John, chapter

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

number 14, verse number 16. In the gospel

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

of John, chapter number 15, verse number 16.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

In gospel of John, chapter number 16, verse

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

number 11. In the gospel of John chapter

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

number 16 verse number 7. In the gospel

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

of John chapter number 16 verse number 11

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33

to 14,

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

I have many things to send to you,

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

but you cannot pay them now. For he

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

when the spirit of truth shall come, he

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

shall guide you in all truth. He shall

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

not speak of himself, all that here shall

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

he speak. So for uniformity,

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

there should be similarities.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

So only way you can get uniform

00:02:49 --> 00:02:52

is by following the true teaching of Jesus

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

Christ, not the teaching of the church.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

So if you study the Bible

00:02:57 --> 00:02:57

analytically

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

and follow the Bible only, not the church,

00:03:01 --> 00:03:03

not putting words and trying to say Jesus

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05

said he's God, Never really said that.

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07

Because of this wrong teaching of the church,

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

there can never be uniformity.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

In Islam,

00:03:11 --> 00:03:14

I cannot be a Muslim until I believe

00:03:14 --> 00:03:15

Jesus is a messenger,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

until Adam is a messenger, until Moses is

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

a messenger. I have to believe.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:22

So uniformity is coming from Islam's side, not

00:03:22 --> 00:03:22

from the church.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:26

And will it happen? Yes. It will happen.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:27

I ended my speech

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

by quoting a verse of the Quran,

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

which is mentioned thrice.

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

In Surah Tawba chapter 9 verse number 33.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:40

And chapter 48, verse 28, and chapter 61,

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

verse number 9.

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

That a licensed messenger,

00:03:53 --> 00:03:56

prophet Muhammad, with guidance and the inner truth

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

so that it will prevail over all the

00:03:57 --> 00:03:58

other religions,

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

All the theisms,

00:04:01 --> 00:04:01

whether it be atheism,

00:04:02 --> 00:04:03

communism, socialism,

00:04:04 --> 00:04:04

christianism,

00:04:05 --> 00:04:06

buddhism, hinduism,

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

Islam is this time to support it all.

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

Master them all.

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

However much the idol worshipers don't like it.

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

And the hadith says, there will be a

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

time

00:04:22 --> 00:04:25

before the world ends. For 7 years,

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

Islam will rule the world. For 7 years.

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

Whether it happen after 5 years, after 10

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

years, after 50 years, I don't know. But

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

there will be a time when the world

00:04:35 --> 00:04:38

will be very peaceful for 7 years.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:40

That's the saying of the prophet.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

Whether it happened after 5 years, 10 years,

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

30 years, I don't know, but going to

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

happen. Hope the answer to the question.

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

Brother, do you believe that God is 1?

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

Do you believe God is 1?

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

Do you believe Jesus is God or he's

00:05:04 --> 00:05:05

the messenger of God?

00:05:09 --> 00:05:10

He's no.

00:05:10 --> 00:05:11

God.

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14

But no that means you didn't listen to

00:05:14 --> 00:05:15

my talk.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

You heard the you heard my question answered

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

with the earlier person,

00:05:21 --> 00:05:23

and that's what we did you

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

I heard it, but didn't I tell you

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

nowhere that Jesus said he's God?

00:05:28 --> 00:05:29

Nowhere.

00:05:34 --> 00:05:34

Correct.

00:05:37 --> 00:05:37

Correct.

00:05:43 --> 00:05:44

There are 2 lord. 1 can be lord

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

or human being. No problem.

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

But lord has god? No. You know, we

00:05:48 --> 00:05:50

call, like, how you go in UK.

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

UK to title you give lord so and

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

so. So that's not no problem. You go

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56

to the court and you call the judge

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

me lord. No problem. So there are 2

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

types of lord. 1 is human being lord.

00:06:00 --> 00:06:01

1 is god lord.

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

You call him human. You call him god.

00:06:08 --> 00:06:10

I'm asking you in English language when you

00:06:10 --> 00:06:11

open the dictionary.

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14

In English, brother, look at

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

you. English English language.

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

If you open the dictionary,

00:06:19 --> 00:06:20

lord has two meaning.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:22

1 is human

00:06:23 --> 00:06:24

being, like the judge,

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

a respected person. You call him lord. No

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29

problem. The second meaning is god.

00:06:30 --> 00:06:32

So are you talking Jesus Christ a respected

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

human being or is he god?

00:06:35 --> 00:06:36

Yeah.

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

If you are talking about exactly work, we

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

can refer to him as Lord, but there's

00:06:41 --> 00:06:42

also a divinity dimension

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

of him being Lord. Lord of our That

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

means you are just like the other people

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

heard. I gave you so many references. My

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

father is greater than all. My father is

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

greater than I. I can of my own

00:06:55 --> 00:06:56

self do nothing.

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

I can of my own self do nothing,

00:06:58 --> 00:06:59

Jesus Christ said.

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

I can do nothing. As I hear, I

00:07:01 --> 00:07:04

judge and my judgment is just, for I

00:07:04 --> 00:07:05

seek the will of my father.

00:07:05 --> 00:07:07

All these verses clearly show that he was

00:07:07 --> 00:07:09

a human being. He was not God. So

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

why do you want to give divinity to

00:07:11 --> 00:07:12

him? No problem.

00:07:12 --> 00:07:14

Thank you. That means you don't want the

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

world. You don't want the world to unite.

00:07:17 --> 00:07:18

You don't want the world to unite.

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21

You are you are disuniting the world.

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24

You are disuniting the world. I've come here

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

to unite the world. People like you, they

00:07:27 --> 00:07:29

disunite the world. The bible doesn't says God,

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31

yet you want to say God. So you

00:07:31 --> 00:07:34

are helping those people who don't want to

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

unite the world. No. I am a guy.

00:07:37 --> 00:07:39

Nowhere did Jesus said he's God. Neither in

00:07:39 --> 00:07:42

the Quran, neither in the bible. Yet, Christian

00:07:42 --> 00:07:45

like you, you want to disunite humanity.

00:07:45 --> 00:07:48

I'm sorry to say, you may respect me,

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

but I don't respect you because you are

00:07:50 --> 00:07:53

here to disunite the human being. When Jesus

00:07:53 --> 00:07:54

is very clearly saying in the bible,

00:07:55 --> 00:07:56

in the Quran,

00:07:58 --> 00:07:59

Worship Allah.

00:08:00 --> 00:08:01

My Lord and your heart. Yet you say,

00:08:01 --> 00:08:03

Jesus is Lord. Thank you, brother. You're most

00:08:03 --> 00:08:04

welcome. Next question.

00:08:06 --> 00:08:07

Unless you don't change your statement, you can

00:08:07 --> 00:08:07

go,

00:08:08 --> 00:08:09

please. Can we have the next question, please?
