show
alhamdulillah peace be unto you thank
you for tuning in to another episode of
the dean show we're here trying to help
you understand Islam and Muslims now
we're going to be talking about the most
important topic in Islam Islam simply
simply it's very simple
means to surrender your will to the will
of the creator that means you're going
to do what the Creator wants you to do
now this topic is
something that all the messengers of God
talked about they deliver the same
simple message it's not
complicated your young son and young
daughter can understand this if you're
non-muslims do not turn the channel if
you're you've got your non-muslim friend
or even for the Muslims that might have
some confusion about this they're
talking about everything under the sun
except this most important factor God
Almighty is the most merciful and loving
and if you get this wrong and you take a
wrong turn here and you put a partner
next to the one who created you this can
be something that can put you in a place
that is very hot but if you get it right
which we want you to to get it
right this can land you in a place of
Eternal Bliss and happiness so when we
come back we're going to be discussing

deam Alum peace be unto you how you
doing brother 100% back on the dean show
happy to have you here oh it's a
pleasure thank you and may Allah the
creator of the heavens and earth reward
you for taking your time to be with us
it's so many people that are out there
they're wanting to know the truth and
we're trying to deliver it in a simple
way so everyone can understand and this
is the most important topic absolutely
in Arabic we say toed what does this
meaned refers to the Oneness of Allah
subhana tala when you say Allah what
does this mean it means Allah you know
the most exalted basically but Allah of
course is God in Arabic but you see the
topic of it means Allah is one right and
most people when they hear that they're
like okay well easy and I don't need to
hear about this anymore and even some
Muslims now when you talk about like
again I think we're tired of this topic
but you can never get tired of the topic
it's the most important one if you get
this wrong you have problems to say the
least fail the test okay but let's look
at at it this way you know one of the
things that prove the importance of is
that on every single page of the Quran
there's a mention of either direct or
indirect every single every single page
this is the verbatim word of Allah of
God almighty
the Quran it's on every single page
every single page so then the Muslims
who read the Quran why don't they say
again again because it's that important
Allah put it on every page like what if
the whole page is talking about an
incident between M and pharaoh and for
example how that is all about that the
whole conflict started because of so
every single page of the Quran either
directly or indirectly is mentioning you
know even the name Allah is in it so
it's not for a believing man or or woman
to say say look we're tired with the
subject of it's the most important topic
yeah that's one by every page of the
Quran having it the other thing Allah
says in
the we have not sent a a prophet before
you except that we reveal to him that
there is no God worthy of worship except
me so worship me so every prophet got
the message of no no Prophet came
without this message that's the number
name a few of them for example even if
you look at it biblical otherwise but
you look look at all the prophet look at
Moses
mahim brought David
Solomon lot all of them mentioned even
Jesus of course that people claim that
he's the third God had even he spoke of
and the majority I mean of humanity just
by coincidence that when you mention
these names mosa Abraham Noah I mean
even people that are so-called like
atheist they know these names absolutely
they know these people these m I'll tell
you something interesting all right
there Scholars Muslim scholars believe
that there's no such thing as a pure
atheist I also believe this very
strongly that there is no human being on
the face of the planet who is 100%
atheist there is no such thing yeah even
even the people who absolutely are
adamant that they're atheist deep deep
down sometimes they can't dig that deep
down yeah they believe there is a God
yeah they natural you you just deny
something that's within your very nature
huh and the proof they use for that is a
verse inah the ant where Allah says
talking about who claimed to be God
Pharaoh boiled people alive because they
believed in Allah he said there is no
God but me he was I mean he boiled
people alive so he must really not
believe there's another God that was a
king yeah back at the time of Moses
Moses okay so if he boiled people alive
he must really be sure there's no God
right but then Allah says really
powerful
verse that they denied it but they were
certain of it in internally they were
certain of the existence of Allah if
this guy is boiling people alive he's so
sure there's no God and Allah says he is
certain that there is that means
everybody else for sure I mean no one as
bad as he is no one went that far yeah
so that means everybody in deep down
they believe that there is a God yeah
and as much as they deny it well just uh
this is just uh on a side note why do
you think just they they deny it why do
they cover it up well because uh a lot
of times people come from religion where
the the background is that the
explanations are not adequate and so
they think that well this doesn't make
sense and the concept of God in this
religion doesn't make sense there there
is no God people made this up yeah those
people haven't looked at it in Islam and
they haven't read the Quran that's
they're going to learn now in this show
God willing because obviously when you
start saying that God was a man that he
had a son that he was a monkey or an
elephant or a rat these kind of things
that there's weird things out there you
start to associate an intelligent person
who's using his head that this ain't
right right so they put all religions in
the same bucket or even a God that would
physically come down to earth wrestle
with men not even be able to out wrestle
them and do kind of strange things that
not very appealing to some people so it
turned them off from the whole idea of
God but the problem is they need to look
at it everywhere and look at the concept
in Islam as well don't put all the
religions under one umbrella and say all
of them don't have a good concept so
they got we got their attention say what
okay now what do you have to offer
what's this toed you're talking about
well basically toed is like the simple
message that we were saying and it it's
linked to your Eternal salvation to
believe in Allah and to only worship him
alone not to associate any living being
or tree or rock or anything with him and
this is a problem that we have with all
the majority of religions or all just
about all religions and within Islam
itself we have Muslims now who instead
of directing all of their worship 100%
of it to Allah they directed a portion
of it or part of it to something besides
Allah hoping that this will link them to
Allah bring them closer to whatever it
is but it's still
is it's still wrong it's still not
because in
aith authentic Hadith Allah subh
says I
am he says I am in need of Partners in
the least whoever worships me and
something else with me I will direct all
his worship to that other item that
means you don't set up no partner no Co
equo with God it's only God Only The
Creator only Allah alone when we come
back we'll give some examples on a
all of the prophets would have been
labeled Muslims because this essential
message was the same message submission
to the will of
God this is God talking to you directly
how could I stand behind the pulpit on
Sunday morning and preach a sermon that
I knew was at variance with the actual
Tap Root of
Christianity back here on the dean show
okay so the messengers came with that
same message worship God submit to God
Alone now you have people developing all
these different philosophies theologies
and they are going away from the simple
message how did this occur all right
well uh historically it would it start
off it would actually start off one of
there are a number of things okay that
lead to something being worshiped
besides Allah one of them is
overpraising someone or something and
for this reason it's very interesting
the Arabs came to the prophet Sall
alaihi wasallam Prophet Muhammad
wasallam and they told him they praised
him they said you are our best and the
son of our best you're our s and the son
of our best so he stopped them he said
do not overpraise me as the Christians
overpraised the son of Mary now in
another day he said I am the best but
when they came and told him you're the
best he stopped them why he he was
cutting off the avenue to being
overpraised because he knew that that
overpraising is one of the Avenues that
leads you to becoming worship let's take
at the the example of the people of no
the prophet Noah his people there were
some righteous men uh you know in the
area and people love these righteous men
so much and they started to overpraise
them and and you know mentioned them so
well and when these people died over the
generations and with all this praise and
stories and nonsense that started to to
surround them they became Gods it it
wasn't anymore that this was a righteous
man who lived many years ago this was a
God and
so that were mentioned these were all
names of righteous men who became Idols
in the end because people put something
to represent them you know this
righteous man used to stand and pray
here when he dies we put a rock where he
used to to stand and then after a while
guess what some generations later this
rock is worshiped now instead of now
that's a partner next to the crater
exactly okay so now overpraising is one
of the Avenues that lead to it even
idols and making statues and images is
one of the things that helps
that absolutely and that's why in Islam
to preserve Islam we were not allowed to
make idols and images so that eventually
people might worship them okay and um so
basically the idea is that you know
Allah Allah created you and he's the
only one who gives you all the good that
you have and then you come up and take
some some rock or tree or stone and you
start to worship that how about how
about a man or a monkey even worse I
mean because you you know it's like you
know someone does good to you let's say
someone you know buy pays for your
ticket like what you've done you know i'
I've brought I've been brought all the
way to Chicago you guys have been so
good and we're eating out and and all
this stuff and imagine at the end of all
this trip I I go to some stranger in the
street you know thank you very much for
bringing me down here thanks for all the
good food and I appreciate it and I I
don't I thank some stranger in the
street doesn't make any sense Allah is
the one who gives you everything that
you have and then you go and and genu
flect and bow down to a piece of Ro or
to someone else or to his messenger who
came to tell you to worship him well
what about some people who say you know
what these people are more rightous than
us they have a better connection so
we're trying to go through them to get
to God and and the the answer really
bluntly is that these people are n your
business and Allah says that in the
Quran but in a nicer way Allah
says the the these these close the
friends of Allah meaning these righteous
men there's no fear upon them nor will
they become saddened the doesn't mention
you there's no fear for them nor will
they be saddened so you rubbing on their
shoes and trying to worship them and and
and and kiss their feet and stuff it has
nothing to do with you you know so the
so who do you have to follow the prophet
S wasallam I know people argue they say
Well they're righteous men we need to
see what they did to become righteous
men no you don't you need to see what
the prophet did that'll take you to
righteousness so so I'm so sinful now
I'm someone who's done so much bad this
person such a righteous person and they
compare it like you know what if you
want to go see the president you don't
and you can't just go directly to them
you have to go through the secretary or
you have to go to the attorney general
Etc or know someone that's connected
this is how I can get to my mission and
and that's actually an insult to Allah
because you know a a a tyrant or someone
who's not accessible to his people you
have to go through his secretaries and
go through his ministers to reach them
all right but at the time of the first
AB Bakr did you have to go through
anyone was he accessible yes because he
was a very good leader right the prophet
wasallam was he accessible or did you
have to go through Omar he was
accessible why because he was a very
good man and very good leader all the
all the prophets like Jesus Moses Abra
they were all accessible they were all
accessible to people the the poor man
could walk straight up to Jesus and ask
him something they didn't have to go
through and make an appointment now for
you know I'll see you in two weeks
that's only how it works with tyrants
and Kings that's a bad analogy so you're
saying this about Allah that you got to
go through someone to get to him so we
got to fix the question huh got to fix
that big big time because Allah says in
the Quran that if you call me I'll
answer you yeah you know that I'm close
to you how about we go in a confession
box and people go behind the screen and
they confess their sins and get a few
hail marries and then they're all good
what about this and that's the thing
that's the beauty of Islam I don't got
have to get in my car and drive and go
in a little box to tell somebody
anything you have a direct relationship
with Allah I mean it's really weird that
you have a direct relationship with
Allah and you got to go somewhere to a
tree to a box to a dead to a grave where
there's a dead man Allah tells you you
have a direct link that's so rational
it's that's the easiest thing wouldn't
it be yeah why do people fall into this
you think there's always a philosophy
there's always an explanation behind it
some and some went so extreme some
groups actually believe and Allah is far
removed from this that a part of Allah
emanates and comes into this human being
or this she and that's why you can make
sujud and prostrate to him and it's not
a big deal because of part of Allah is
in him things of that sort so the
nonsense can keep going on and on on the
truth is it's so simple there's only one
God there's no link you don't need
intercessions intermediaries between you
and him and that's it it doesn't get
easier than that did Moses pray through
Jesus or did Jesus pray through someone
or did the first man Adam the first man
Adam that's when we go back to the
original did he go through anybody or
did any of the messengers what was the
way they did it well obviously the way
they did it was basically it was a
direct relationship between you and
Allah they prayed to Allah directly and
if you want to look at it biblically
it's very interesting in the Old
Testament how many times God would warn
not warn threaten
threaten like Solomon and David threaten
them if you ever take anything in
worship besides me I mean these are
actual threats I'll do this to you if
you do I'll do that to you I'll have
this happen to your woman I'll have that
happened to really strong threats don't
you dare take anything in worship
besides me mhm and this was a consistent
message in the Old Testament and
realistically it's consistent in the New
Testament as well but then suddenly all
of a sudden you have people adding
things to it and trying to say you know
that you
worship others along with Allah or
through them but there's no evidence to
any of that you made a beautiful analogy
something that you said if someone had
given you something and now you didn't
think that person you were thinking
someone else has nothing to do with it
can you give some more analogy to bring
it home so people can really understand
the Simplicity of worshiping God alone
and something that is unnatural and
something that we shouldn't be doing
setting up or going through anyone to
get to God right well uh actually there
was a there was a nice example of uh
very logical as well and it shows you
the logic of where um the prophet wasam
asked a man he tells him he says how
many gods do you worship he says I
worship uh six on Earth and one in the
heavens yeah he said if the situation
gets really really bad who do you call
upon he said the one in Heavens he said
then leave the six on Earth and just
focus on the one in heaven and it made
perfect sense to the man and does it
make sense or not it is so easy I me
always will make much more sense and why
would I worship six but when the going
gets tough I worship the one in the
heavens that means he is the one to go
to so leave the other six then you know
and that's the thing one actually one
Christian Author he talks about he did a
study and he and he saying that uh
people would love Jesus more than
meaning looking at him as a God love him
more than the father why because they
see God the Father according to them as
someone who is so angry and can't
forgive until someone else has to die
for this sin then he'll start forgiving
and then the son is the sweet one who
came and offered up his life so that
they could be forgiven so that's why
they they love him more and you you hear
more talk about Jesus than you hear
about God why because he's the one who
came and died for us he's the one who
loves us and so on and so forth MH so so
even when there is more than one God in
concept or in theory you have people
loving one more than the other so it's
it's an equation that just doesn't
balance all this love unconditional love
revering one the most is to the Creator
ABS one who created the Sun the moon
Jesus Muhammad that's the God yes tell
us now and we want to give some more
examples and because we're almost at a
time some modern day where some people
will sit and ask you know close their
eyes you see some kids calling on Santa
to if they're naughty or nice you know
they won't get these presents so they're
praying like is is it a prayer they're
beseeching him for these gifts and get
me this and I'll do this or some people
will be praying to Jesus and saying oh
Jesus in your name and this to the
father and then some people also praying
it's sad they're praying through the
prophet peace be upon him talk to us
about about this well this is the
problem is that people's hearts are not
attached to Allah they're attached to
all kinds of other things they're
attached to amulets that are supposed to
protect I mean and that's why the for
all these kinds of things mostly because
they replace Allah in your heart I can
tell you stories of people who were
hanging on to these amulets and saying
you know it saved me Allah saved you
what are you talking about it's it's a
piece of paper that's folded up a little
bit so you're saying this thing saved
you instead of saying Allah saved me
people calling on on on you know relying
on whatever if they're righteous people
or Sorcerers or prophets or people who
have passed away why because there's no
attachment to Allah if people their
hearts were attached to Allah they
wouldn't go through these other avenues
and Sh is the biggest problem that we
have in the biggest problem that we have
people worshiping other than Allah or
people worshiping other things along
with Allah subhana tala so you don't ask
Santa for these things you ask the one
who created you Allah you don't pray
through Jesus Moses Muhammad you pray
directly to the one Creator and amulance
that go around the neck and around the
arm Etc we don't need these Lucky Charms
Lucky Rabbit foot Lucky Penny what about
that actually I mean all of these they
when you look at the rabbit's foot and
they all have some kind of pagan belief
you know the rabbits they thump the
ground sometimes with their feet like
that and so they the people the pagans
believed that they were com
communicating with gods that were under
the Earth and that's why the rabbit's
foot was lucky because that's what it
used to it's not lucky for the rabbit
who's missing his foot exactly not at
all so and there's so many other things
you know that breaking a mirror is bad
luck and the black cat all these when
you trace their history it goes back to
some kind of pagan belief or belief in
more than one God we're going to
continue talking about pure monotheism
toed and some of the common things that
people do that are against this against
things that the messengers brought and
the last and final messeng Prophet muham
peace be upon we be back on
[Music]
show say to me why have you become a
Muslim now I I give a very frivolous
answer I say I want to be on the side of
the
[Music]
Angels is a guy he's a number one rap
artist in the world he sold over 60
million records worldwide 60 million he
was a young guy who had basically
everything that somebody you would think
that life is all about he had everything
you can imagine
[Music]
I heard that people used to knock they
had a tree God and they used to knock on
this tree to wake them up so they can
ask and nowadays you'll see people like
when they say a phrase or a sentence say
oh knock on wood right what do you think
about this you know sometimes people
will use these phrases and not realize
you know what it means but uh you know
knocking on wood it's related to that or
related to like again a pagan believed
that there were tree gods and so you
would knock on the wood tree and either
to communicate or to wake up that God so
again it goes back to paganism uh the
not like taking out the number 13 and
some elevators you see people not flying
on the Friday the 13th or what about
this uh because well the last supper
There were 12 men yeah and the 13th man
betrayed Jesus so the 13 became unlucky
and this happened on a Friday so if it's
Friday and the 13th oh it's a very but
it's again there there's no there's no
science behind it there's no logic
behind it nor is there really anything
religious behind it Ian so cutting your
nails on a certain day that's forbidden
or breaking a mirror and not or walking
under a ladder or oh the black cat you
know the black cat that cross your way
these will all go against toed it it's
all I mean and not only that's just
nonsensical like the black cat they were
believed to be pets a witch's pet so a
witch always had a black cat as a pet
but we don't even believe in the witch I
mean obviously the mirror breaking there
was some cultures believe that your
reflection in the mirror was your soul
so if the mirror broke something bad
would happen to your soul nonsense leave
it alone absolutely okay now hold on to
your seats I mean we have to speak the
truth and we're not trying to be harsh
with the people but we're trying to
deliver everything and these were the
warnings and we'll get to the Glad
Tidings but there was a warning if you
die on this setting up a partner with
the one who created you what's the
consequence it is the worst sin ever
Allah subh says in the Quran in in
chapter number
for Allah
says Allah does not forgive that you set
up partners with him but he may forgive
anything else to whomever he Wills he
could forgive anything else but he won't
forgive this that you set up partners
with him and whoever sets up Partners
along with Allah or instead of Allah he
has come forth with something extremely
evil or a big lie against Allah yeah so
so this is a sin that will never be
forgiven meaning that you need to if you
if you die committing sh meaning
worshiping something with Allah or
besides Allah you will never go into
Paradise for all eternity you will never
go into Paradise but if you're doing it
now and you repent stop it then it's
like you started over again so anyone
who worships any God if you believe in
three Gods instead of one or or you put
any act of worship Trinity or any
worship towards anything besides the one
God then you can repent from it this
moment there's he's the most loving the
most merciful god he will forgive you
and you don't have to go in like we were
saying you don't have to go anywhere you
can get your forgiveness right now you
can repent from it you don't have to go
through anybody just direct dial up
that's it that's it you just repent God
Alone Allah alone that's it and this is
again the message you find everywhere
you find it all throughout the Quran you
find it all throughout the Bible all and
New Testament because it's the biggest
sin so the biggest sin will be warned
from the most yeah and that's the sin
actually in the Quran that Allah warns
us of the most he'll warn us from lying
from stealing but number one he always
warns people from worshiping something
besides now some people are non-muslim
brothers in humanity now they they never
heard this word Allah we know that this
is the The God Who created the Sun and
the Moon Jesus prayed to him Muhammad
prayed to him this is the creator of the
heavens and earth but they never heard
this so they might feel a little bit you
know timid about this uh what can they
do if they feel this well uh they just
need to understand that it's just the
way you say God in Arabic you know you
say Allah and and uh there's actually
English versions of the Bible hard to
find anymore but the the scoffield
version of the Bible had Allah in it it
said Allah yeah as as the name of God
yeah so there you go had nothing to do
with until they do some research can
they say the Creator who created who
gave me these eyes the one who gave me
my heart the one who Jesus prayed to
forgive me guide me I only want to
worship you can they do that absolutely
they can do that yeah that's simple yeah
and this is the mo this is the most
important Message of Islam so if you
found this message of one God appealing
then that's the most important thing
about Islam everything will fall in
place after that absolutely give them
the Glad Tidings give them the Glad
Tidings that if they die not associating
partners and doing what God wants them
to do what's the Ultimate Rewards if if
they die only believing in one God only
worshiping in one God if you do that
then the reward is eternal Paradise
Eternal Paradise never coming out of it
and even if someone has tons and tons of
sins that cause them to go into the
Hellfire Prophet explained to us that
eventually they will come out of the
Hellfire yeah why because of there's no
God worthy of worship except Allah that
will bring people out of the house that
makes so much sense what about the last
and final messenger sent to mankind how
should they go about this again
something new you know they have to look
into it talk about just some advice
basically the prophet Muhammad sallahu
alaihi wasallam was the final messenger
of Allah he was sent to Arabia 1400
years ago but the most important thing
the message that he came with which is
the Quran you read the Quran you see the
message of that he came with and you
look at his life and his teachings and
you see that he came with the message
consistent with the message of all the
prophets that came before him so it's
not a diversion from the consistent
message but it's actually a continuation
in a sense and of course we're in the
day and age where you can look that up
and find some good and genuine
information and go to the dean show and
find some other sites aldah so the first
thing is to acknowledge what's in your
very nature and then from there you got
you need a blueprint how to live your
life do some that's where the messengers
came last final messenger prophet
Muhammed peace be upon them that's what
we need to do to be successful thank you
very very much
Allah the Creator and the Earth reward
