we got to get you on there next in
inshallah inshallah now tell us uh we're
going to ask you some questions and we
want to first start off with for the
young Muslims for the people who want to
pursue knowledge who want to be people
of knowledge how did you get involved in
being an Imam how did you get involved
in being a leader in the Muslim
Community what course and what action
did you take so somebody can maybe get
encouraged and say what do I have to do
to be an IM a shik what do I have to do
to be a man of knowledge that Canad lead
people towards
righteousness first of all we praise
Allah subhah wa ta'ala and send peace
and blessing on his Prophet Muhammad
sallu Ali wasallam I don't want to say
what I did but I thank Allah for
choosing me and enable me and dirting me
towards this but as we understand the
first thing been revealed to the prophet
Muhammad Sall Ali wasallam
is so this work and this Dean is built
on uh reciting reading
learning uh this is the foundation
knowledge number one the environment is
number two uh number three theas of the
sincerity and intention why you proceed
in such course uh all this things is
very important and also number four we
say the necessity of acting upon what
you learn so alhamdulillah Allah blessed
me from young age be born in a religious
family and I saw that a good example
surrounded me uh from my Granda uncles
other people in my immediate family and
and also alhamdulillah I was most of my
time being in The Mask learning and
studying under a different
sh and believe it or not I start with
the early age from calling the aan
leading
Salah try to give some of what I learn
and try to practice and uh this was a
beginning in in my uh childhood life you
understand to try to do
things try to imitate my uncles my
grandfather my the people in my
immediate family and going to the mosque
as much as I can and I remember that the
first time I give a that I was about 12
years old 12 years old yes alhamdulillah
and was a surprise the same thing like
you just called me was a
surprise the happen that the Imam was
late it didn't show up and people they
became nervous he don't know what to do
and here my grandfather he said to me go
ahead and do it and I was so scared I
was so little and especially after I
went to the
member the pulpit to give theba now I
got to see all these hundreds of people
sitting in front of me so was with not
was something that always in my life I
could not forget it you understand yeah
but I've been been you understand
learning and
breaching traveling doing things from
early
age M Allah bless you the Creator
blessed you and now we can take from
some of the knowledge that you have and
we can share it with the world tell us
sh Sheik Muhammad tell us you are in the
Bible Bell is that right is that what
they call it down there in North North
Carolina yeah Columbia South
Carolina tell us some because we want to
get some some experience from your
experience what are some of the do you
you interact with a lot of our our uh
Brothers in humanity the Christians who
we want to be our brothers in faith now
do you get a chance to interact with
them often and and do they come by the
Masid and do you show them around and
and what are some of the questions the
main questions that they have about
Islam uh I've been in Colombia since
1981 approximately and uh I got visited
many many many times by different
students of the Bible
College and they were so dedicated about
their visitation to the mosque every
Wednesday after M about 7 8:00 even in a
rainy days they used to come three four
of them sometimes sometimes male and
female sometimes two men and they said
and ask me
questions and this had developed a
visitation to their
school which call used to be named the
Bible College and get to meet some of
their
teachers and also going there and giving
different lectures and hearing to some
of their
questions and this contined to be for
years and
years and one day that we have a guy by
name uh anise
shush came to colia and was a surprise
visit we will not uh prepare or even
aware about it but there is a place here
called international house which
basically try to get all these new
students coming from overseas different
places India Pakistan Egypt Saudi Arabia
having some coffee and
and a way you understand how creeping
little bit by little bit and getting
into them introducing the Bible to them
and also have a social life with them
and spending time for them and going to
for days sometime for some camps in
weekend and things like this so these
people they show their right face one
time uh when they invited anise shush to
USC University of South Carolina
and we got surprised to see a flyer that
man coming to talk about uh Jesus and
Muhammad MH so actually like I said it
was surprise visit so and I went
there was no any special invitation but
was basically focusing on the
students uh I went wearing
overall uh and I carry a camera with me
and uh as if I'm person who uh recording
of photographs and things like this so I
was a sitting there all the way in the
front with camera and that time the
cameras to be used to be like one foot
tall and they had real real real big
cameras yeah yeah yeah and I usually
understand this is one of the things
that I study in early age in a school
you understand we took some filming and
photographs and printing and things like
this
and this is part by being also Imam that
you need to actually touch with your
hand and your fingers and your mind
different things that maybe is not
related immediately to uh to Islam so
you can know how to do certain things
how you can help other members of the
community so like I said was a blessing
of Almighty Allah subhana tala from
early ages that directed me towards
these things I didn't know why I was
learning and prac itic in all these
things but I got to know about Carpenter
electrician electricity mechanics little
bit of everything this what they used to
do so anyway I took my camera and my
flashlight and wearing this overall
there doesn't look like anybody who
looked like a Imam or even a student of
knowledge and I was in front of his face
said the camera and
listen and he was very hard you
understand and was very rough in his
discussion and what what were what were
some of the arguments that he tried to
or they tried to make that you were
writing down or listening to and how did
you refute them in actuality after he
finished his lecture talking about uh
the Quran is not from God fabricated is
by Muhammad all the things uh which was
a lot of uh students attend this uh
lecture and with a good number of them
Muslims and with a big commotion after
this mhm and in the in the end they
understand people was so upset because
nobody had informed them to invite a
member of the Muslim Community and
somebody who may be in his caliber that
he can answer him because basically they
are Muslims but they don't know all the
depth in knowledge of Islam so anyway so
I raised my hand I although I was behind
the camera and I asked ask him a
question and the same time I made a
challenge for him and I told him that
what he's doing most of what he saying
is wrong he be may be miseducated or he
know what he's talking about but he is
not being truthful with himself and I
throw a challenge you understand I say
if you believe what you said to the
Christian and Muslim and student
Community tonight I would like to debate
you tomorrow so you gave wanted an
intelligent dialogue an intelligent
exactly exactly B based on evidence and
proof and exactly so and I uh told him
I'll be glad to meet him tomorrow in the
same place with the same audience and uh
he say no let's debate to understand
Muhammad in the Bible is Muhammad in the
Bible not I say is no way we can debate
something new unless we debate or
dialogue about what you said tonight so
finally we came to some kind of
agreement that I would get 20 minutes in
the beginning to refute his argument
about what he spoke about the Quran and
after this we can talk about any other
subject you want in actuality I left
this night with a late and I have other
things to do so but I did my best that I
can in less than 24 hours that we can
meet together and have a debate we
record it and alhamdulillah you may find
it in some places on adly online.com or
different places what's it called we
want to go over some of the main points
because the shows we are are pretty
pretty short and we want to just uh go
over some of the main points what were
the main arguments that some that you
remember and then give us some
experience on how you refuted these
arguments as example when he talks about
that Muhammad learn the Quran through
his traveling I challenging him how many
trips did Muhammad make so what wait was
that he said that the the prophet the
last and final Messenger to mankind of
prophet muham peace be upon him he said
allegedly that the messenger he learned
it while he was traveling yeah yeah and
I say first of all in a young age how
many trips he understand the person make
and how much he can learn this is was
one of my main argument if I still
remember this about maybe what 15 20
years ago but also I asked him if
Muhammad kab from the Bible what about
information that in the Quran that not
exist in the Bible and some of them is
scientific uh comments and things like
this that is not exist in the Bible yeah
so was a a challenge for him actually
and I I will say that I did fair for a
surprise debate and less than 24 hours
to prepare myself and still trying to
take care of my
other obligation to the mask and I met
him in the next night and we have this
dialogue or debate that available in the
internet if you can say an sh versus
Muhammad ad or Muhammad versus an sh for
the S the time you can go and you can
watch it now did the concept of the one
true creator did this ever come up did
this argument that God is a man did this
come up and how did how do you refute
this he he was trying to say understand
about the Trinity like the egg it has
the Yoke you have the yellow you have
the white you have the shell but the
whole thing is still egg so I tell him
very simple which party do you
eat so everybody start laughing you
understand so I was try to still you
understand give him the respect of of a
guest and same time to be easy in him
and also I told him another examp
sometimes it's good that you get out of
the books because I told them listen you
don't believe in my book neither I
believe in your book as is so we have to
find a different common ground that can
work on it which as example the logic
yes so I said to him my name is Muhammad
ADI I am the husband of so and so and I
am the father of so and so so I am one
but I am three but if you take your gun
and you shoot me did you kill me as
Muhammad adiy or you
kill the husband
of my wife or you kill the father of my
child so so it's not because you
understand you have different titles
does not mean you have more than one
personality or so he was not prepared
but in the end he said listen we've been
taking abuse by Ahmed did that for the
last 30 years so the time now that we
can get back in you guys actually this
the meaning of his words mhm and I found
that he had
debated or Dr Jamal BWI about the same
information that he came to try to
breach it in Columbia South Carolina so
I found that the man was not honest was
not truthful that he was not about
knowledge he's only try to damage the
reputation of Islam and Muslims and he
came uh without any kind of kindness or
being bashful and he said we got tired
Ahmed did that did to us such and such
so it's time to get you guys back it
doesn't make any sense you understand so
if somebody refute you or something and
shows you that this is wrong from Islam
from Arabic language from common sense
and you go to another state and you
start to repeat the same thing it
doesn't make any sense tell us shake for
those who are listening from our
non-muslim audience and now they want to
know the correct concept of the Creator
and you gave this analogy trying
to logically show the inaccuracy of the
Trinity what does Islam say about the
one true God who he is and his
attributes there is many verses in the
Quran and there is a whole Surah on the
Quran
sincerity
and
and the prophet Sall alhi wasallam told
us about the virtue of this Surah is
equal to oneir of the Quran because this
is the most important thing in the whole
Islam to understand who is your creator
because this the foundation and you
could not erect a building in a shaky
foundation so the foundation in knowing
who almighty God and he said say oh
Muhammad he is Allah Almighty the one
and the only
one he is the one and the only one and
one could not be one could not be three
three could not be one and one could not
be three so almighty God is one and
alone one in his names attributes
qualities action so there is no one can
be equal to Allah in knowledge in wisdom
in forgiveness in ability nothing he is
the one if you talk about knowledge he
is the one if you talk about wisdom he
is the one and the only one not anyone
can be equal not all mankind get
together can be equal or more but always
going to be he's going to be the master
the one in everything Allah Almighty
Allah the Creator is the one that
everything beseeches him everything
needs him call in him
but he call in no one neither he need
anyone he has he's not the father of
anyone neither he's the son of anyone
they use begot and begotten but a simple
word that almighty God he not the father
of anyone neither he is the son of
anyone and there is no equal to him in
anything one of the best things that I
advise all Muslims to read as well nonm
Muslims in Surah number two and this
called aat I think is verse number
225 that's that's good you mention that
we're going to take a break people are
going to hear this and we'll come back
and we'll continue on don't lose your
place
sh
[Music]
for
[Music]
you have to pray as if everything
depends on Allah and it does but you
must work as if everything depends on
you and it doesn't that's my point you
see what I'm saying and I don't like
that I don't like us sitting here what
are you waiting for what are we W for
right now what are you waiting for all
these people to come to Islam what are
we waiting for what are we waiting for
right now when they going to come
they're going to come Allah going to
bring these people put in our hand the
ability to do it now do your
[Music]
job okay sh we're back with shik
Muhammad go ahead Shay you are
continuing talking about the
ayat before we went to a
break
[Music]
Allah
this is the concept of almighty God in
the Quran Allah there is no deity worthy
of worship other than him the living
one the self
subsistence no Slumber or sleep takes
over him to him belong everything that
in the heaven and in the earth and
what's between
them who that can intercede before him
without his permission again I don't
want to go through the whole verse but I
would say it is very important to be
read by Muslims and non-muslims this is
the most important thing in your life to
know who is your creator and if you get
to know who is your creator so love him
and fear Him
and worship him and him alone so from
the few verses that you had went over
basically he doesn't require food he he
is the one sustaining us maintaining us
he doesn't need any of these things he
doesn't rest take a nap do the things
that human beings do is that right we
have one thing called Creator everything
else is his creation and the Creator is
totally different from the creation and
the creation never can res the Creator
in any fashion or by any means not even
get closer to him Almighty he's the most
perfect things that you ever can think
about few more points before we come to
an end in short tell us how can someone
be sure how can someone know
emphatically that the Quran which we say
is the verbatim word of God Almighty in
Arc we say Allah how can they know that
this is indeed from the Creator what
advice do you give them so they can have
Assurance like we have like over 1.5
billion people have come to know again
like I start from the beginning the
first revelation came to the prophet
sallallah alaihi wasallam May the peace
and the blessing of Almighty Allah be
upon him and all the prophets am mean
read we asking our audience to read we
ask everybody to examine use this fality
and the facility and the senses that God
Almighty had gave you
and he is Allah Almighty that cause you
to come out of your mother womb while
you know nothing and he supported and
gift to you with the hearing the seeing
that you may be grateful so I'm asking
my our audience today you need to use
your eyes your ear and examine read
reading the Quran it will tell you and
compare the Quran with any other
Revelation that exist nowadays you will
get to know for yourself you will get to
know we don't have to compile you force
you lie to you you can be the judge for
yourself read in the name of your lord
the one who had created read the things
that related to your Lord Almighty Allah
God Almighty could not be three and
neither even by Logic three can be one
or one can be three why don't you say to
Mr Eddie come work for me and I pay you
a $100 per hour and after he work for me
three hours I give him only
$100 so this not what we agree about I
say oh sir one means three and three in
one logic doesn't accept this okay you
and your wife your son you are three
different people and if one die does not
mean the other two people die God
Almighty is one and alone and unique
nothing similar to Him worship Him alone
you don't need to go through any other
one he is the only one and he's
sufficient for you to call in him so I
say to the audience you need to read and
you need to compare and God give you
enough senses you will find it if you're
sincere enough you seeking the truth you
will find it believe me tell us Shake
we're almost at a time in the few
minutes that we have left we encourage
people to visit the Deen show.com and we
have a new blog section where we have
all of our radio shows the TV programs
are still at the main section of the
Deen show.com but we have a comment
section and suggestions that people can
leave and we're going to read one of
those for our she here and you can help
us to answer this one
this brother is asking he said asalam
alayum Eddie I love your show and I
watch it weekly I'm a revert to Islam
and my parents recently have discovered
that I'm a Muslim they are Furious and
are threatening to evict me from the
house I love my family but I love Allah
the Creator more how do I get my family
to respect me in my faith when it is
completely a foreign way of life to them
and the brother's requesting that we
answer this question and can you tell us
how can a new Muslim and this is a
general statement for a person who has
come to acknowledge what we just have
been discussing that the Quran is from
the Creator that he's one and alone
worthy of worship and that there's a
system he wants us to live by and that's
complete submission and surrender to the
one God this is defined as Islam that's
what the brother is doing but he's
having some issues with his family how
and what advice do you have for him all
right Mr Eddie thank you for making
advertising about your uh show can I
also advertising about my show
Absolutely our audience to visit adly
online.com we have many CDs and DVDs and
all of it for your own use for free
hundreds and hundreds of CDs and DVDs to
download for free educate yourself now I
understand about this young man or young
lady that became Muslims and how do the
family feel about it you have to put
yourself in their shoes okay they are
your family they respect you they love
you but they scare for you because the
media the way how they talk about Islam
and Muslims so you have to give them
some kind of the benefit of the doubt or
some excuse why they acting harassing
you or whatever but you have to be
patient you have to show them the change
in your life how that you love them more
how you respect them more how you trying
to serve them more in a better way and
everything that you do it tells them
because this what Islam tells me about
it patient and you're going to be
rewarded for your patient and believe it
or not I don't see why they have to
threaten you because we living in soall
free country and there is a freedom of
belief freedom of speech so as long you
are not try to abuse them or to mess up
their environment and taking and
disturbing them they should allow you to
do this and they should be happy to see
you that you're getting away from girls
you're getting away from drugs getting
away from prostitution getting away from
stealing shoplifting they're supposed to
be happy so you need to show them by
your example what Islam is about and you
need to also to slow down you could not
expecting your family to give you a
smile or to make a party for you because
you became a Muslim so as long they are
not disturbing you be patient with them
but if they threaten you to kick you out
of the house and you have no other
choice you have to be strong you have to
be ready for it you're going to be
rewarded by Almighty Allah and this
suffering if it fall in you now is going
to be a tested for you and now you're
going to know if you really about the
dean about Allah or you about something
else so be strong read in the stories of
the sahaba the time of the Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam how much they
went through a lot of hardship how much
things happened to them disturbance but
it never stops them to be a Muslim so
try to show your family what's Islam
about by your action and be patient
steadfast to the best of your ability sh
tell us now in these last few minutes
that we have if an individual knows that
his family out of ignorance because of
the media and because
of the lack of proper education and
knowledge about Islam that his parents
after he's declared that look there is
only one Creator I want to do the good
that this Creator wants me to do and
it's going to change my life for the
better and now this individual accepts
Islam and he know knows that his parents
beforehand they have some misconceptions
about Islam and if he tells them that
this could Rock the Boat this could
possibly get him or her kicked out of
the house do they have to come home and
Proclaim their new Faith or can they
slowly can they slowly live it by
example and then tried to educate them
and then slowly give them a taste here
and there and instead of just coming out
all at once you have two examples in the
life of the prophet sallallahu alhi
wasallam and his companions you have
somebody like B may Allah be pleased
with him how is his master how is his
tribe how is the people how he got
suffer how he been thrown on the sand in
the middle of the day under a hot son
and all the suffering and he chooses he
remain in his Islam M you have another
example withar y y may may Allah be
pleased with him there is a good example
by other of the sahaba and Allah
revealed the
verse so that his family was disturbing
him and his tribe he have to say bad
things about Islam bad things about the
prophet and he came apologizing to the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam I'm
sorry about what I said what I did the
prophet asked him how did you find this
in your heart he said my heart was in
ease in Al Islam but I dislike what I
said he said don't worry about it so as
long your heart is comfortable with
Islam don't worry about it you don't
have to come and shock your family you
can slowly little bit by little them
little bit you can let them know about
Islam so you have the choices see who
you are but let me tell you one thing
you really want to be in
how we going to present them and let
them know what is happening in your own
life thank you for the great advice so
we lead by example and I think anybody
when he sees the change the good change
that happens in that individual's life
the change towards righteousness on that
great moral compass that only is
producing Excellence I think anybody
would then agree and possibly even
accept that same way of life as that
person had accepted I'd like to thank
you for spending some time with us and
letting us share in your experiences and
picking your brain and benefiting and
all those people around the globe who

creator of the heavens and earth reward
