so the 2013 charts of Google's most
popular searches in Australia are just
in with a top Google search at number
one being what is twerking shortly
followed by who is God now on saying
this I don't think you have to be a
genius to figure out which of the two
questions is more important to be ask in
Google I mean one could potentially
explain the reality of our existence
while the other would potentially leave
us scarred for the remainder of our
existence and look I know there's a lot
of skepticism surrounding this issue and
quite frankly I don't blame you I mean
the meaning of God has been thrown
around so often we forgot what it means
from some Zeus like man in the sky with
a big beard to Thor to a half animal
half human creature to Kanye West
shamelessly producing a track titled I
am God on his album yeesus to Eminem
then self-proclaim himself as the rap
god a new brand of clothing titled I am
God and who could forget Justin Bieber
and his Believers you affectionally
refer to your fans as [\h__\h]
no Believers and now I understand that
most of this may be exaggerated and many
of these examples are me semantics and
plays on words that are probably being
taken out of context as let's face it
nobody actually believes in Bieber and I
highly doubt that Kanye West considers
himself a god when someone comes up and
says something like I am a god everybody
says who does he think he is I just told
you who I thought I was a God and now
Kanye West smashes his head into the
street sign really really
hard Kanye Kanye Kanye you okay sounds
like K's got a new hit a God that's who
I think I
am you okay so we've all these
misconstrued definitions of God the
least I could do is help clear the water
and help us finally find out who is god
well to begin let's start with the
things that we all agree on first and
foremost we're here we just began and
and we exist and like all things that
begin to exist they require a cause
things don't just come out of nothing
and although at times we sometimes wish
they would they don't if I told you that
this glass sprung into existence this
glass made itself you say Muhammad Ali's
crazy so on saying that knowing the
cause of us is crucial to understanding
who God is although we are able to
explain that we did have a beginning as
many leading cosmologists have affirmed
we are still left unanswered as to what
was the cause of our beginning and
before you lash out saying oh but we
can't see what happened before we began
or you can't prove there was a Creator
we say quite openly neither can you
disprove a Creator and by observing the
reality of our world and our existence
its order its structure and the systems
I see no reason not to believe in a
Creator but then one may ask where did
this Creator come from what was the
cause of him and it will go on forever
and ever which would most probably lead
to us never have ever been created so
for God to exist he must exist without a
beginning therefore not requiring a
cause making him Eternal he should also
be Transcendent from his creation and
not bound by any of the Realms he had
created whether it is time space or
matter for instance when Steve Jobs
makes an iPhone he doesn't become the
iPhone he is separate and of course we
could also argue that he is one this
makes the most sense and it would also
avoid any potential conflict between two
dis puing all powerful Gods with
conflicting interests but we still don't
know which God is here are you Zeus are
you Thor are you Yahweh well if you
agree with everything I've set up until
now you will realize that each of these
gods don't fit into our established
criteria of who God is they are all
created beings they are not Eternal they
have not created anything they are
dependent and they require sleep rest
oxygen and food so who is the one and
only true God I present to you a God who
is one and only Eternal exists without a
beginning who was uncreated requiring no
cause for himself yet being the absolute
cause and creator of everything else
Allah a simple definition of God that is
logical and rational there is nothing
like him no man no creature nothing
imaginable he is the one who is perfect
although I don't like using the word
perfect because our understanding of
perfection would never Encompass his
true essence he is in control of
everything whereby nothing can harm us
unless he wills it he is the all knowing
the all hearing and unlike our friend
Kane he is the allseeing many of us
would then argue that although these
verses do provide a logical and sound
concept of God how do we know that these
words are indeed the words of God well
first and foremost the Quran isn't just
any book it was revealed over, 1400
years ago as direct Revelation from God
to the final fin Prophet Muhammad peace
be upon him and was sent as the most
eloquent piece of literature to be
mankind revealed at a time where poetry
was rif and to a population housing the
best of poets only to leave them
speechless and at a loss for words now
what is important to note is that the
Quran doesn't fit in any of the known
classes of poetry nor Pros rather it is
a fusion of both that even to this day
shake the hearts of Muslims and
non-muslims alike it's almost transl I
mean it's
you can hear it's very euphonic I mean
there's a lot of internal rhyme and end
rhyme and uh the rhythm is not
predictable and it's beautiful even to
this day the Quran remains incomparable
and stuns Humanity with its accurate
references to science and history from
accurate descriptions of the human
embryo to historically accurate
references to the different rulers in
the different Egyptian dynasties and no
matter how many times people will try to
discredit the Quran on its authenticity
it remains standing will you please at
the very next science lesson get some
salt water get some fresh water and mix
them and see what
happens the Quran says two Seas not two
cups of water and to those that doubt it
is from God the challenge is simple
bring forth something that can compare
and now although this challenge has been
attempted multiple times throughout
their past history has witnessed that no
man has been able to rival the Quran but
does this challenge still apply today
well we could surely put it to the test
and who better to choose than the
self-proclaimed Rap God call yourself
the Rap God Eminem dub the best of his
time being incomparable with anyone in
his League the last thing the world
needs is another me now if we compare
the works of Allah with the works of emm
we left with this licky Gib hippity hip
hop rity rap packing the Mac in the back
of the ACT pack r y yakity yak yak at
the exact same time attempt his lyrical
acrobat
St look content wise I don't know
however we can't deny that lyrically he
is impressive he has Rhythm rhyme style
alliteration and asinet a short video
online even indicates that in one of his
songs he almost made every second to
third word rhyme but how does he compare
with the quran's smallest chapter of
three verses Surah Al now in just 10
words Allah is able to use a 30
linguistic and rhetorical devices
including emphasis multiple meaning
grammatical shift word order and
Arrangement Ellipsis conceptual
relatedness intensification choice of
words repetition intimacy exaggeration
and prophecy along with many many more
what's also important to note is that
the linguistic devices in the Quran
aren't just thrown about randomly for
instance Allah would use palindromes
strategically to describe the terms
glorify your lord and the or in of
planets as though both processes are
occurring continuously non-stop one
after the other the shortest chapter in
the Quran also contains a rhetorical
device that no one can compete against
nor replicate prophecy at the end of the
first verse Allah promises Muhammad
peace be upon him that he would be given
abundant good at a time when he was at
one of the lowest points of his life
with a small amount of followers and low
social status he had even just lost his
son and his enemies were taunting him
with cut off lineage and peny yet Allah
was promising him abundant good at this
time such was the prophecy of the Quran
and we certainly indeed see its
fulfillment today with the Quran being
the most recited memorized and practiced
book across the entire world with over
1.6 billion followers today from all
walks of
life
now I know many of you are probably
thinking okay cool story bro but what's
the purpose of the Quran well the
importance is that it gives meaning to
life from our overall purpose of
existence to why we're here and what
happens once we die God teaches us that
each and every single one of us is being
tested we weren't created for me plate
we were created with a purpose and that
is to be obedient to God and His rules
those who believe there is reward and
those that don't and are arrogant
there is a punishment and look I I
apologize for trying to squeeze all this
into one small video but I've given you
everything you need to know who God is
and why we are here so
