history0:00:32 and in fact one of the strongest and0:00:34 most populous0:00:35 muslim nations in the world0:00:42 he0:00:43 [Music]0:00:56 [Music]0:01:03 i wanted to start with something very0:01:06 important0:01:30 reborn child0:01:32 is born0:01:33 [Music]0:01:35 as a muslim0:01:36 and then his parents make him into0:01:55 [Music]0:02:04 is0:02:06 [Music]0:02:12 someone may ask the question0:02:15 and ask0:02:17 how is it that a baby is born0:02:20 believing the five pillars of islam and0:02:22 muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam and0:02:25 all of the prophets0:02:26 and the things related to islam0:02:41 [Music]0:02:48 but this is not what is meant by the0:02:50 hadith0:02:52 because what is meant by the hadith is0:02:54 that every born child0:02:57 is born submitting0:03:00 to allah alone0:03:09 [Music]0:03:16 happy0:03:18 [Music]0:03:25 and this has been confirmed by cognitive0:03:28 science0:03:29 in recent years0:03:31 there have been studies0:03:32 by people like john kelly brian clark0:03:36 justin barrett and others0:03:38 all of which have concluded that0:03:41 children are born with an innate belief0:03:49 [Music]0:04:06 [Music]0:04:08 there is no cognitive scientist in the0:04:11 world who says when a baby is born they0:04:15 are born believing that jesus is god0:04:35 [Music]0:04:46 whereas a child does not need to be0:04:48 taught0:04:49 to worship and submit to one god alone0:04:55 [Music]0:05:09 everybody believing in him worshipping0:05:11 him and this is mentioned in the quran0:05:14 in chapter 7 verse0:05:16 10722 where allah subhanahu wa ta'ala0:05:20 mentions what is0:05:25 [Music]0:05:37 that allah mentions0:05:39 that when the children of adam allah0:05:42 took the souls of the people the0:05:45 children of adam and he made them0:05:47 testify before they were born the souls0:05:51 he made them testify that there was only0:05:53 one god worthy of worship and we0:05:55 accepted this we said yes we accept it0:05:58 so that on the day of judgment the quran0:06:00 states that we don't say that we were0:06:03 unaware of the fact that allah is0:06:08 [Music]0:06:20 [Music]0:06:30 [Music]0:06:35 so0:06:36 allah though0:06:37 with his infinite mercy and compassion0:06:41 he did not punish the people just0:06:44 because they became christian or jewish0:06:47 no allah about you again he can your0:06:51 literature where0:06:53 what these christians0:06:55 do0:06:57 he punished the people0:06:58 when the truth came to them and then0:07:01 they rejected it allah says in the quran0:07:07 rasulullah chapter 17 verse 150:07:10 allah0:07:16 [Music]0:07:27 [Music]0:07:30 the worst sin in islam therefore0:07:33 the worst possible sin in islam0:07:37 worse than killing0:07:38 worse than raping0:07:40 worse than torturing children is that is0:07:43 the sin of a shift0:07:47 [Music]0:07:51 islam0:07:56 you should0:08:01 [Music]0:08:03 because it goes against the natural way0:08:06 that allah created us in the most severe0:08:10 way possible0:08:11 [Music]0:08:27 [Music]0:08:37 [Music]0:08:48 [Music]0:09:02 [Music]0:09:05 and then the question may be asked0:09:08 what is0:09:13 it0:09:14 [Music]0:09:20 is to make something0:09:22 at the level of allah or to bring allah0:09:26 down to the level of something else0:09:33 [Music]0:09:44 and this is exactly what christianity0:09:47 has done0:09:49 [Music]0:09:54 christianity tells you that jesus is god0:10:00 [Music]0:10:15 jesus0:10:17 [Music]0:10:28 is0:10:39 i want to tell you as a middle eastern0:10:41 man that we are not worthy of worship0:10:46 as a middle eastern man0:10:48 i want to say that no middle eastern man0:10:50 is worthy of worship0:11:01 you know that because nigeria beats the0:11:03 middle eastern nation in football all0:11:05 the time0:11:07 [Music]0:11:26 someone who the nigerian people can be0:11:29 in a game of football0:11:34 nigeria0:11:39 this is a man that eats0:11:58 [Music]0:12:04 [Music]0:12:28 if someone needs to eat food that means0:12:30 that they are not all powerful0:12:34 um0:12:51 and he does not have any god with him0:12:53 had this been the case they would have0:12:56 tried to dominate one another0:13:03 [Music]0:13:15 for example christians say that the0:13:18 father is all-powerful the son is0:13:20 all-powerful and the holy spirit is all0:13:22 powerful0:13:31 not0:13:39 [Music]0:13:47 if they say the father will win that0:13:49 means he is the all-powerful one and the0:13:51 son is not0:13:53 [Music]0:13:55 common0:14:01 if they say they draw0:14:02 so they have a fight maybe it's a double0:14:04 knockout they draw that means that they0:14:06 are both weak enough not to beat the0:14:08 other one0:14:13 are you weak0:14:25 imagine if god has a fight and it's like0:14:27 1-1 like a football match0:14:33 [Music]0:14:38 [Music]0:14:50 [Music]0:14:55 all christians in the world today0:14:56 protestants and catholics believe that0:14:59 jesus is god0:15:08 so they have these issues they cannot0:15:10 explain how jesus is all-powerful and0:15:13 how the father is all powerful at the0:15:15 same time0:15:18 that is0:15:27 that is why the punishment for someone0:15:29 who does shirk is so painful0:15:35 for me0:15:36 foreign0:15:52 does shirk with him and he forgives0:15:55 anything else to whomever he wants0:16:01 [Music]0:16:02 to0:16:10 somebody who does one minute of shirk0:16:13 one minute of shirk is worse than0:16:15 somebody who rapes a child anything0:16:17 [Music]0:16:19 comes0:16:20 free you compare0:16:22 [Music]0:16:32 [Music]0:17:01 however if i bring a little baby boy0:17:08 and cut him in half0:17:12 which one is worse0:17:15 the baby boy or the aunt0:17:24 [Music]0:17:41 [Music]0:17:53 [Music]0:18:10 [Music]0:18:12 the worse the sin is against that thing0:18:17 [Music]0:18:21 but allah has infinite attributes0:18:28 so if allah has infinite attributes one0:18:30 second of transgression against him is0:18:33 worth an eternity in the fight0:18:38 [Music]0:18:50 is not as much as the comparison between0:18:52 the boy and allah0:18:58 [Music]0:19:12 [Music]0:19:15 is worse than the difference between0:19:17 cutting the boy to the end0:19:24 [Music]0:19:35 [Music]0:19:43 [Music]0:19:48 [Music]0:19:49 this is like0:19:50 saying if0:19:53 i stab somebody and kill them0:19:58 [Music]0:20:00 it only took me one second to kill0:20:02 somebody0:20:05 [Music]0:20:16 of imprisonment0:20:22 [Music]0:20:29 the judge will say to me no because the0:20:31 severity of the crime0:20:46 the severity of it is even higher0:20:53 so we have an obligation0:20:55 to tell our brothers from the christians0:20:57 in nigeria0:20:59 of the religion of islam0:21:13 that0:21:14 jesus was a prophet and a messenger0:21:17 [Music]0:21:19 jesus jesus0:21:24 just like abraham moses and noah get0:21:28 thee0:21:33 [Music]0:21:45 abraham was not jewish and he was not0:21:47 christian but he was upright submissive0:21:50 to allah and he was not a politician0:21:54 [Music]0:22:01 [Music]0:22:05 abraham who is also in the bible how can0:22:08 he be a christian which means a follower0:22:10 of christ and he became before christ0:22:16 [Music]0:22:21 foreign0:22:25 [Music]0:22:31 [Music]0:22:46 in fact in the bible itself0:22:48 jesus jesus says the father is greater0:22:51 than i0:22:52 god0:22:54 [Music]0:23:04 in the book of acts chapter 2 verse 220:23:07 it says that jesus was a man a man0:23:10 amongst men that was sent with wonders0:23:13 and miracles and signs which he did0:23:15 through him0:23:24 [Music]0:23:33 [Music]0:23:37 in the bible it's mentioned that jesus0:23:39 went to a garden called gethsemane0:23:43 in in the bible it is mentioned that0:23:46 jesus went to a garden0:23:48 oh and the0:23:50 [Music]0:23:56 [Music]0:24:15 who was he praying to who was jesus0:24:19 praying to if he himself was meant to be0:24:21 a god0:24:22 shall you pray in one sword0:24:29 another0:24:47 but some may say0:24:49 well what shows us that prophet0:24:51 muhammad was a true prophet0:24:55 [Music]0:24:57 muhammad0:25:02 [Music]0:25:05 if you look at the bible itself it's0:25:07 mentioned in the book of isaiah chapter0:25:09 42 verse 11 that there will be a prophet0:25:12 that comes to the people of kedar0:25:15 and in the book of genesis it's0:25:17 mentioned in the in chapter 32 that the0:25:19 people of kedar are the sons of ismail0:25:24 [Music]0:25:32 so much so that it said that even the0:25:34 people in those villages which is in0:25:36 arabia now in saudi arabia will0:25:39 celebrate on the mountains of selah0:25:41 which is in medina0:25:43 [Music]0:25:51 this is mentioned in the bible0:26:01 there's no other man in history who has0:26:04 come after jesus who fits this criteria0:26:07 except for muhammad sallallahu0:26:17 the bible also says in the book of0:26:19 deuteronomy 180:26:22 21-22 that0:26:24 when a prophet comes the way to see if0:26:26 he's a true one or a false one is if he0:26:29 speaks about the future he must speak0:26:31 the truth0:26:34 in the bible0:26:45 [Music]0:26:48 but whenever the prophet muhammad spoke0:26:50 about the future all the quran spoke0:26:52 about the future he spoke the truth0:26:59 [Music]0:27:05 for example in chapter 30 verses one to0:27:07 six of the quran0:27:09 it is mentioned that the romans will0:27:11 defeat the persians in three to nine0:27:13 years0:27:16 so in in the quran in chapter 30 verses0:27:19 1 to 60:27:22 [Applause]0:27:23 the quran says that the roman empire0:27:26 okay0:27:29 will beat the persian empire0:27:42 it is like me saying0:27:45 if nigeria plays football against ghana0:27:49 and i will say that nigeria will win 3-10:27:56 nigerian0:28:00 nigerian0:28:04 if i'm wrong0:28:06 and i say this is coming from god this0:28:08 means i'm a liar0:28:16 [Music]0:28:19 if i say nigeria will win 3-1 but ghana0:28:21 wins 2-0 that means i don't know what0:28:23 i'm talking about0:28:34 especially if i say i have the0:28:36 information from god especially0:28:40 i want people to follow along0:28:45 the romans will beat the persians in0:28:48 three to nine years and it happened0:28:49 exactly like allah0:29:03 [Music]0:29:20 count six things before the day of0:29:21 judgment my death and then the conquest0:29:24 of jerusalem0:29:34 [Music]0:29:36 and that exactly happened at the time of0:29:38 um0:29:48 [Music]0:29:52 the prophet said people will have sex0:29:54 outside of marriage0:29:56 [Applause]0:29:57 [Music]0:30:04 and then allah he will invent new0:30:06 diseases that will affect them0:30:16 [Music]0:30:18 we see this today0:30:27 [Music]0:30:30 the point is islam has met the criteria0:30:34 in the bible that the prophet that came0:30:37 every time he spoke about the future he0:30:39 spoke the truth0:30:46 alone0:30:47 [Music]0:30:54 [Music]0:31:01 we have to show them these things0:31:08 [Music]0:31:11 believing in one god is more superior0:31:14 than believing in many gods like the0:31:15 trinity0:31:30 [Music]0:31:47 for example there are many people who do0:31:50 things which itself is ship0:31:52 muslim people0:31:54 many muslim people do things which is0:31:56 shirk0:32:06 [Music]0:32:09 let me give you a few examples0:32:18 [Music]0:32:26 whoever buys black magic0:32:28 they will have no share in the hereafter0:32:36 [Music]0:32:42 the prophet told us what the seven worst0:32:44 sins were called the mubikarta0:32:46 and he mentioned in there magic is one0:32:48 of them0:32:51 [Music]0:33:05 that there were some people0:33:07 that from the men that they sought0:33:10 refuge from the jinn0:33:11 so they made them go astray0:33:16 [Music]0:33:22 islam0:33:23 [Music]0:33:25 so anybody who says to you that if you0:33:27 give them certain money that they can do0:33:29 magic for you this person is a very bad0:33:32 person0:33:33 [Music]0:33:41 [Music]0:33:44 in fact i don't say that you should do0:33:46 this yourself but at the time of the0:33:48 prophet they killed these people0:34:04 but i'm not telling you to do that0:34:06 [Applause]0:34:08 but don't go to them0:34:12 so magic is one of the worst things and0:34:14 it is0:34:20 [Music]0:34:29 and something else which people do which0:34:31 muslims do which can also be0:34:33 is fortune-telling0:34:41 [Music]0:34:46 in islam and the prophet muhammad0:34:49 told us that whoever goes to a care him0:34:54 a fortune teller someone who tells you0:34:55 what the future is0:34:57 then his prayers will not be accepted0:34:59 for 40 days0:35:17 [Music]0:35:29 it's a very big deal0:35:34 this includes horoscopes when somebody0:35:37 tells you your horoscope is libra or0:35:40 capricorn or whatever it is or you read0:35:42 something about the future about0:35:43 yourself this is included in that as0:35:46 well0:35:48 [Music]0:36:02 because religious fraud has become0:36:04 widespread in our countries0:36:07 foreign0:36:14 people that ask for money for something0:36:16 that you can do yourself is not a good0:36:18 sign for that person i want to change0:36:26 [Music]0:36:42 [Music]0:36:50 it means you alone we worship and you0:37:02 [Music]0:37:24 [Music]0:37:35 [Music]0:38:00 [Music]0:38:06 and most of the time a lot of the time0:38:08 you'll find these things can be done0:38:09 yourself0:38:12 [Music]0:38:17 that is why0:38:18 everything that relates to shill first0:38:20 of all we should get out of our system0:38:30 tomorrow0:38:39 [Music]0:38:56 [Music]0:39:00 for example if i told you to pray six0:39:03 times a day rather than five this is0:39:13 [Music]0:39:15 so we have to be careful of these0:39:16 matters as well0:39:19 [Music]0:39:21 and the way to do that is to look at the0:39:23 quran and to look at the sunnah0:39:26 as0:39:33 [Music]0:39:38 [Music]0:39:41 it is to see if scholars before from the0:39:43 madagascar or the schools of thought in0:39:46 islam said these things0:40:01 [Music]0:40:08 because0:40:36 [Music]0:40:45 [Music]0:40:48 and when you do that you can die upon0:40:56 [Music]0:41:03 [Music]0:41:12 [Music]0:41:24 [Music]0:41:40 [Music]0:41:41 [Applause]0:41:49 a
