Jazakallah, Brother Shaikh.
And Subhanallah for
the clarity of the ayaat.
Ladies and gentlemen now
I will open the floor to a
question-and-answer session.
And we will start with the ladies.
As salaam o aleikum, Bbrother S heikh.
My question is …we have been
hearing that the Jews and Christians
are the People of the Book.
What do you have to say about that?
Yes, Actually, the generally
understanding is that the
Jews and Christians are
generally referred as the
People of the Book.
And they refer to this Book,
I told you in the beginning.
But how this idea come about.
There is one ayat in the Qura’an.
Because today I was referring
to Ahlal Kitab, the People of the Book.
The Qura’an speaks
of Yahood and Nasara.
In the Qura’an there are many….
there are Muslims and Munafiqs.
Muslims means those submitters.
Munafiqs are hypocrites.
And there are shaheed, witnesses, Shohada.
Then there are Yahood and Nasara.
And generally they come
together in the Qura’an.
So in that ayat of the Qura’an,
it is referred to to Yahood
and Nasara as People of the Book.
And how it is referred you refer
to You can write down this reference.
Now they are not reciting the Bible.
This dummy book they are
presenting to you. But they
are also reading this Book.
The ayat says, Allah says
Arabic
And the Jews say that the
Nasar/Christians are not on anything.
Arabic
And the Nasara/Christians say
Arabic
that the Jews are not anything.
But Allah says
Arabic
both of them are reciting the Book.
That means this Yahood
and Nasara are also People of the Book.
Because they are reciting the Book.
But generally people,
this idea that I was telling you,
not this… but they are
referring to this Book.
Actually they are reading this Book.
This a dummy book presenting
to you but actually they
are taking all this
guidance from this Book .
Guidance means not guiding their lives.
But what they are reading
this Book how to defend,
how to win the hearts
of the Muslims – the believers.
And making their own Book this Book.
This is how the Jews and the
Christians are also referring to,
they are reciting the Book,
they are also the People of the Book.
The present day Jews and Christians also.
The Jews and Christians
claim that Mohammed pbuh
forged the Qura’an from Bible.
How do you clarify this?
Actually this is going on,
this Jews and Christians.
You have to understand.
People should understand this.
Allah says
Arabic
bring a Book before
this if you are speaking the
truth with any remnants of knowledge.
So now what is going on,
they are claiming that this
Bible is before the Qura’an,
this Bible. If somebody says
this to you that Qura’an was
plagiarized or forged from
this Book or forged from this Book,
so you ask them that
in the Old Testament in the Bible
there are many prophecies,
of ‘Kan Dajjal’ , and all this is coming
in the Bible, 666, the ‘Beast’
and about Jesus etc.
There are many prophecies in the
Old Testament about Jesus
and other prophecies.
So there must be a prophecy
in the Bible about, astaghfarully,
Mohammed (pbuh) will come and
plagiarize the book Bible and
make a Qura’an out of it.
Because the Bible, if you
are saying that he forged it…
you means the people, the Jews
and the Christians are saying
that the Qura’an is a copy
from the Bible, so I am asking
the prophecies, so many prophecies
in the Bible, in the Old Testament,
in the New Testament also,
which justmeans what’s going
to happen in the future,
if that was the Book of
God should prophesy about a person,
so-called Mohammed 9pbuh) born in…
Mecca and he will plagiarize the Bible…
Watch out, you Christians
and Jews. It’s not like that.
On the contrary, there is
an ayat in the Qura’an.
You open Surah
This claim is not to be found in the Bible
but in the Qura’an.
What this means is this.
Those people who do not
follow the essence of the
message of Allah will say he forged it.
They say he forged the
Qura’an on the pattern of the Bible.
There are some similar
accounts but if you look carefully
they are poles apart.
There are actually many problems
and paradoxes in the Bible.
Allah says
Arabic
Come with a Book from before this
if you are speaking the truth.
The ayat is already
there in the Qura’an.
That is why they make
the charge about the
Qura’an being forged.
In the Qura’an it is said
they will say he forged it.
Allah says
Arabic
come with a Surah/chapter like this.
And nobody has.
The difference between
the Qura’an and the Bible
is as between chalk and cheese.
In fact, the charge that
they make is plagiarized
from the Qura’an. Don’t forget.
Allah says the Yahood and
Nasara recite this Book.
So they are cooking up stories
from this Book and
changing the words around.
They can’t change the Qura’an.
It has been coming from all eternity.
They make stories from this Book.
You add and delete.
As salaamo aleiikum.
Shaikh Saheb, my question is –
from your lecture we came
to know that the Book
has been present from
the very first day.
Then what was the point
of sending Mohammed (pbuh) to this world?
I mentioned in my lecture
and I will repeat that.
You see, Allah entered into a covenant
with the People of the Book
Arabic
Allah made a covenant with those
who were given the Book.
Arabic
That you will clarify for mankind
and you will not hide it.
That was the covenant
between the people who
were given the Book and Allah.
What happened was this.
Allah said they threw
it behind their backs
and they purchased it at
a small price. So, in response
to your question,
Allah sent a messenger.
Look at
The People of the Book
were there and they were hiding
or suppressing most of the Book.
So Mohammed, the Prophet of God,
came and clarified for you
what was being hidden of the Book.
Allah had taken a pledge
from the People of the Book
to the effect that they would
clarify it for mankind.
But instead they hid it.
Arabic
You will clarify for mankind
and will not hide it.
So Rasoolullah (pbuh) was sent
to clarify for mankind what
they were concealing.
That was the purpose of
sending Mohammed (pbuh) to the world.
Somebody has sent me this question.
I don’t know who.
Can we marry People
of the Book from hearsay?
If you are referring to this Book,
you cannot marry him
if this is what he believes in.
We spoke of the ayat according
to which the Yahood and
Nasara also read the Book.
There are People of the Book,
liberals and believers.
You can marry a believer
from the People of the Book.
You cannot marry liberals
because they are rejecters.
.And you cannot marry those
who are Yahood or Nasara,
the present day Jews and
Christians because they
deny this Book.
Arabic
Among those who are
believers you can marry.
Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah 2:21,
Do not marry mushriks until they believe.
They associate things
with the message of Allah.
You cannot marry any one
of them unless they believe.
Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you very much.
Jazzakallah. Now we will end
the evening’s programme.
