the logic open your never dreamed
y'all stop right here potential this my
dad humming tada assalamu alaikum peace
be unto you welcome to another episode
of the dean show where we're here trying
to help you understand Islam and Muslims
and today my next guest is going to help
us understand the Quran the verbatim
words of the creator of the heavens and
earth in Arabic we say Allah is going to
help us to understand it better dr.
Muhammad McAdoo is going to come out
he's the academic advisor for the
American open university so the last and
final messenger sent to mankind the
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him he
was a teacher just like Jesus Moses
Abraham they were all teacher teaching
us how to get close to God so we can't
do it according to our own desires God
Almighty he sends the guidance and the
guidance today is the car man so let's
talk to this man so he can help us
understand this a little better when we
come back here on the Dean show don't go
nowhere Allah there's only one
Muhammad is His Messenger a la la la la
ha there's only one but Jesus was his
messenger Allah no I did that maybe it
maybe it's just to break the ice salaam
liquid sure I leaking salon want him to
lie here but okay peace be unto you and
to you I through it as well how's it
going it's good to have you back here on
the D show kymberlee like you traveling
you're all over the world educating the
people like you you're traveling as well
I'm did a lot you I'm glad to have you
and inshallah we're going to keep having
you back here so we can enjoy and pick
your brain and everyone can benefit
Muslims and non-muslims of light shadow
and that's what we're talking about the
verbatim word of God Almighty the Quran
so we want to know this is sent down as
an instruction manual guidance not just
for Muslims book for none for all of
mankind let's talk about this guidance
the Quran please well first of all you
know that it's the final message that's
it no more to come no more to come so if
it is the final message it will never
address a certain people or certain
nation or certain race it should address
all human beings and therefore it is the
final message that addresses all human
beings fair enough otherwise if it
addresses some specific people
definitely there will be effective
effect on the others and that's why you
find the Quran that Almighty Allah
addresses people and by beginning saying
this statement oh you people yeah you
are an ass or ya un ladina a minus or
yeah you and kaffir owns a las 10 de
ella in the beginning of many verses
addresses using these phrases oh you
people so this address is to all human
beings and some verses address for you
those who believe and some addresses
some verses address specifically the
people who don't believe even the people
who don't believe in the quran allah
subhana Allah addresses that he's
talking to them also absolutely so
something specific for the disbeliever
thing specific for the believers are
something general for all mankind this
is how the Quran you can read it as easy
as this and of course they're sometimes
individual cases like ya un nabi allah
sparkle addresses muhammad particularly
and he would say that yeah you and maybe
oh you the prophet of allah span or that
but when we talk to general people he
would say one of these beginning which
tells you that this is absolutely a book
for everyone for all humanity is not
just for the Muslims and therefore what
you expect you expect that it gives and
provides guidance for all mankind I'll
give you one example that for example a
common issue among all the people in the
world is that they are looking for the
truth something yes keeps nagging on
their brain what is going on who is the
true God people want to know how people
want to know there's something about it
in all of us like a spiritual chip
something as yearning that is in nature
because this is the natural chip yeah
that Allah span or to Hyla created
people with this is we call it fit on
for the last panel Allah created all
people with this natural chip they are
pre-programmed to worship Allah spinal
tap but it is the society around them it
is their parents it is the school's it
is the media that would make impact on
them and it changed this chip and repro
change the programming and reprogram
this chip again and they were therefore
they've changed after some time some
people discover that no no no their
original nature says something different
and from there they start looking for
the truth so is that kind of when you
get to your inside is telling you just
good old common sense along with this
that when the truth comes you recognize
it absolutely because a lot gave every
human being the ability to distinguish
between the truth and the falsehood but
the more people would acquire falsehood
in their life because of the environment
and the negative effect on
the more this weakens down and that's
why one hour one roll of the Quran that
it reminds people of the truth so that
people would go back to it so 11 job of
the Quran and one job of the good
muslims is that they remind each other
and the Quran keeps reminding us that's
why you find some verses in the Quran
are repeated in different contexts
because it's a reminder for us 10th Kira
has a lost planet ahana called the to
the Quran yesterday or last time we
talked about the Quran said its guidance
and another definition of the Quran it
is a reminder as well it reminds people
of the roots of the original nature of
the truth so this Quran keeps doing this
one one example of this yes is a chapter
called chapter number 112 chapter called
a leafless it's very short chapter it
has just four verses or 4i at these four
Ayotte are I think guidance for people a
las 10 dolla out of his murse and out of
his guidance he gave these verses as
criteria for anyone to use to check
whether the god he or she worships is
the true God or a false ago tell us what
is this yes verse you're talking about
it yet it's called Suroth Allah floss
how would you be laying in the Shaitaan
regime along handed a long moment let me
a leader 1am muted well I'm here to do
for one a handle on who Allah I had a
loss Hamid let me a lead while amulet
well a mere kula who cook one add the
meaning which break it down first yes
first a las 10 dolla is telling Muhammad
peace be upon I tell people teach people
tell them that the true God is the one
who has this quality he's add the word I
had in Arabic language as a very simple
meaning which is one
and almost every Muslim knows that and
it means also unique so uniquely want
absolutely uniquely one in each of his
qualities now let's just digress for a
second salute this is something simple
uniquely want very very good you don't
split them up now absolutely then you do
it like a three-piece suit where you got
you know a shirt a tie and like you got
a jacket yeah some people do this yeah
tell us some people say look we believe
in one but they say God is a Trinity
okay what does it say about this
absolutely when at the end of this
explanation everybody will understand
okay yeah so here the effect of the word
unique Anna had here it's very so Allah
is unique yeah okay now I ask myself is
the God that I worship unique in other
words nobody else is similar to him okay
let's say some of the qualities of
Almighty Allah will say that Allah is
the all healing and each one of us will
say that we hear and we listen
absolutely but the way that Allah here
is one hundred percent unique different
from other people here give me let me
give you an example and will come after
break be right back on the danger
all of the profits would have been
labeled Muslims because this essential
message was the same in essence some
missions this is God talking to you how
can I stand behind the pulpit and Sunday
morning and preach a sermon that I knew
was variance with the actual taproot of
Christianity so tell us shake continue
on talking about these chapel
pseudo-class give a damn word of God the
Quran yes we were talking about this
quality that he is unique and we
selected one attribute of a las plantas
is all-hearing yeah somebody would claim
that we here of course we hear and we
listened but this is not the way that
Almighty Allah here's a list for example
I hear you while you are talking you're
hearing me and I cannot hear three or
four or five people talking to each
other at the same time I can only focus
on what and this is not the case with
Almighty Allah if there is seven billion
human beings on the earth and all of
them are talking to each other and all
of them are talking to each other at the
same time with all these hundreds of
languages that human beings speak Allah
listens to them and hears them all the
time at the same time and nobody else
has this unique quality human being
doesn't do that a gin doesn't do that
and animal doesn't do that super power
doesn't do that it's only a las panel
that's why we call them unique for
example another quality if somebody say
that okay Allah has a son somebody
claims that God has a son we tell him
absolutely no simply because the word
you unique itself negates this concept
if he has a son he's no longer unique
because I have a set and i have many
sins you may have a couple of sons you
may have couple of then everybody can
have sentient and
Garon's daughters and children here so
by having this quality meaning that God
is not unique if he has a center sits
just this word itself is enough to guide
humanity ask yourself you can go and ask
Buddha or you can go and ask the idol of
the Indians or the the god of the
Christians or the Jews and and the
Muslims asking them there is one
criteria that he is unique try to apply
this to you God and see whether he's
unique or not so if right away if you
say that for instance this mighty
messenger whose beloved to our heart
jesus peace be upon salute for a person
and say he's divine he's got or the Son
of God okay how would you address
absolutely I would say now because this
the qualities of Jesus are the qualities
of Mohammed and other qualities of Moses
are our own quality he has two eyes he
has to weird and it is no longer unique
every human being looks like Jesus two
eyes two ears and nose it's not unique
isn't he's no longer you me but God
wanted to understand us okay so he came
down in the form of a human being so he
can understand that some efficiencies
and he can be more receptive to our
needs which is by saying that God wants
to understand us this is not a quality
that befits a las 10 time before because
a las Ranas Allah is the all-knowing he
knows everything he if he doesn't know
anything he's no longer good he that
means this is his type of weakness yeah
so God Allah Almighty is is the
all-knowing he knows everything so he
doesn't have to do this he doesn't have
to do this he sends messengers he sent
Jesus he sent Muhammad he sent Moses he
sent Abraham to guide people to teach
the people the way as you always say
that they are teachers to teach the
people how to worship Allah Sopranos and
that's the line right absolutely we
don't make them divine absolutely
absolutely yeah and people who enjoys a
question if they say a question okay
Jesus is unique because he was born and
he doesn't didn't have a father is a
very good very good argument yeah we say
please just look at Adam he neither had
a father nor mother but it still add
the human being yeah so he some people
are deceived by that when they say that
Jesus doesn't have a father so this is a
miraculous thing and his father is God
so that means the one who is worthy to
be called this is Adam because Adam did
not have a father and he did not have a
mother so again you see how Islam opens
up the hearts of people to think and
reflect and ponder yeah yeah so now this
is one quality only one quality that
Allah is unique you can apply to any God
that people claim that he's God and they
worship Him and this is my advice to all
human beings this is advice of a lost
planet I'll to all of us just take these
parameter for parameters or four
criteria and apply them to the one that
you think that he's got so here the
Quran that talks to all human beings he
doesn't talk to the Muslim he talks to
everyone just take this and apply it to
the idol that you worship or to the God
that you worship and see if it fits him
or not and we must live that very open
if it applies to anyone we will worship
Him it's very simple very simple very
unique is when you know the Trinity yeah
this will absolutely this legates the
Trinity from the very beginning because
that goes and you spice it up unless it
is a suit like that you can't do it
absolutely okay the second quality is a
love summit and wonderful word
unfortunately it's it's it's difficult
to translate it into any other language
by just one word because it's a concept
usually when you explain a concept you
cannot explain by another word because
sometimes this concept is that available
in other languages the word a summit
means it has two segments in it a summit
means the one who is needed and relied
upon by all his creatures this is the
first segment the second segment of it
is he needs no one of his creatures
doesn't need nothing for hey does it
need anyone we need everything
absolutely let me give you some examples
I'll explain the first part that that
he needs all his creatures need him the
human beings to live and to exist on
this planet they need all my Telma he's
the one who created he's the one who
create oxygen for that he is the one who
created water for that so they need a
las 10 de in all their life and the one
who provides all these is a las panic
nobody can live without a las panel
nobody can live without water nobody can
live without oxygen nobody can live
without this and this and this without
the Sun without it's not lost on
everything the Sun the Moon the galaxy's
everything in this universe rely upon a
las fun I'll need a la scala just for a
moment tell us because for our
non-muslim audience who they've been
used to hearing the word God Lord Jesus
and this has all been intertwined
together now you're saying Allah and you
associating law with creating the Sun
everything and creating along who is a
loft yes it said Allah is the proper
name and proper noun of all make a lot
of the Creator his name is Allah as my
name is mama do as your name is Eddie
and his name is Adam yeah his name the
name of the proper name of proper noun
of Allah is Allah so this is not just an
arab girl it's in his name some people
tries a moon guard and he's a little
later absolutely so all these creatures
need and rely upon Almighty Allah
Muhammad as a creature as a creative
person he relied upon a las hunt and he
needed his oxygen he leadeth the water
and he needed everything and this is
provided only by Allah Jesus is the same
story Omaha Moses is the same thing
everyone in this universe requires and
needs a las pan cannot exist without a
la semana so this is the first segment
of it the second segment of it is that
Allah does not need any of it Allah does
not need muhammad sallallahu ala allah
does not need this annelid uzma need the
oxygen Allah does not need the galaxy's
Allah does include anyone a lot does it
me to have a son and what does it need
to have a father Allah does it need to
have associates Allah does it need to
have helpers
but we do that so if we would let's say
for any of the messengers if we would
have got close to him and maybe just did
like this cut cut cut off the oxen this
is what you mean they need this before
yeah God doesn't need this doesn't get
so the Jesus he he questioned us to yes
inhale otherwise he gets it otherwise he
would be that okay and the same list
thing is applicable to Muhammad the same
thing is applicable to Jesus and the
same thing is applicable to all these
seven billion human beings so people
just need to use it is ok just thank you
this is another criterion another
parameter that a la scala provides to
all humanity and that's why you
understand the meaning of the Quran is
guidance for all human beings now it
gives you the parameter you use this
parameter you use these tools and you
will be guided if you use them correctly
you will be guided now I want you to
think this is the Lord that am
worshipping is summit that's what I
explained them that he everyone needs
him let's take for example Buddha let's
say for example Jesus let's stay for
example Mohammed if some people worship
Mohammed which is not the case the
Muslims don't worship ointment because
they know that mohamed salah salem needs
a lot he just is not somebody is just a
messenger like Jesus like Jesus
absolutely yeah and he's just turn it
was the last messenger yeah if anybody
would think of this he would know that
is Buddha or any other Idol or any other
claim God really is a true God know by
just applying this and even if you look
at this that the word a summit is
embedded in the word unique because
nobody else has this quality have you
ever heard about someone who has this
quality that all the creatures need him
and he needs no one of them no it only
applies is going to make a little bit
absolute just about us out of your zone
your box absolutely absence of
programming going on if they just kind
of get custom to just going along with
what everyone else is doing without
questioning yeah I got a question yes
think
think freely and he will be guided and
that's why I lost hotel all the time in
the Quran would ask us to think to
reflect don't take things blindly and
when you do this you will find the truth
is opening up and is coming to you any
day after day you will get into that
this is just an example of the two and
then I will continue for yes that I'll
explain the two other segment now we
said that he's unique and he is summoned
the one who is needed by all the
creatures and he needs no one let's saw
with that note take a break and we'll be
right back on the Dean shop comes to you
the truth and the attribute of the one
who created you that he's one and alone
running this universe that he doesn't
become born he doesn't die he doesn't
eat and go to the bathroom this is not
God problems here yeah it's this doesn't
make sense who was Jesus worshipping
burgers is recorded in the Gospels
despite all of the other issues about
the Gospels we put those aside were to
say it's mentioned there with Jesus
worship God one from hunger so I'm like
when welcome back to the Dean show
doctormick do we're talking about the
surah ikhlas this is the chapter in the
car an invading word of god this is
defining who the crater is yeah continue
on please we were linking it with that
I'm giving an example of how the Quran
is mercy to all mankind and it addresses
all mankind so this is one chapter that
provides all human beings with the tools
with the parameters with the criteria
that if they use it they would be able
to distinguish if the idol or if the
thing or if the one that they worship is
a true good or not and again these can
be used by Muslims this can be used by
non-muslims where any human beings I
talked about two qualities the first
quality that he is unique you are as you
said it uniquely one and the second one
he is a summit that he is the one who is
needed and relied upon by all his
creatures and
he needs no one of them nobody the third
quality is that and what is unique about
this third quality that it's embedded in
the first one as the second one was
embedded in the first one this third one
is embedded here let me a lead he didn't
beget and nor he was begotten so God was
not be gotten had he been begotten he
would have never been unique for some
people who don't know what does this be
got to be to be born so like father hola
so he didn't have a father yeah God
doesn't have a father if he has a father
we will say that each one was his father
yeah there's no longer unique so he
didn't have a father he didn't it was
not born yeah but this is a quality of
human being was Jesus born yeah yes
absolutely thou you ask yourself God
talks about himself said that I was
never born right but Jesus was born
Jesus were bought muhammad was born all
of them all of they were born so they
are not so they again they'd all be fit
they don't qualify so there's a
qualification to be these well if
occasion these are the four
qualifications to be the true God if
they apply to anyone we will short
worship Him that's it that's it makes
sense it goes with what you said earlier
that fitrah that naturally yes
absolutely so he doesn't have a father
nor he had this so he doesn't have a
father or nor a son okay people have
fathers and people have done so if if if
they don't have right if I say that I
don't have a father I don't have a son I
would be unique but this is not the case
and lost popular was not born nor did he
give birth to anyone bidden to have a
child so this is the third quality which
is embedded here and the final quality
which also is embedded in the first
quality says that well a mere kolo cook
one and there is no one who is equal to
him look at that that's the very deep no
one is equal to Almighty Allah now if we
can apply this to Mohammed is anybody
equal to mohammadi
in terms of his humanity yes I'm it had
a father and had children yes people
many people prophets have Abraham had
father and had children I have a father
and with children so Muhammad is not not
unique in better yeah but the last panel
at ala no one is equal to him in any of
his qualities yes and in fact people are
deceived by the words when we say that
Allah sees and we see absolutely but the
way a la scala policies is different
from the way we see so that's why we say
that we don't they are not equal for
example the maximum distance that a
human being can see let me assume that
it's five or ten miles but Allah subhana
Allah sees all human beings and all
creatures at the same time does any one
of the human beings have this capacity
of course not so this is the importance
of knowing that well a mere kolo qufu
when there has never been someone who
was equal to Almighty Allah now I would
advise any person with wisdom / people
of understanding to think of these
criteria and apply them between them and
themselves they don't need anybody to
judge them they just need to take these
criteria and apply them to their God
that they worship if they apply let him
or her tell us because we are going to
worship that God if these apply to any
God we will apply because they only
apply to all might a las maracas again
we thank Almighty Allah who gave us
these criteria get guided us to the
truth that's why it's it's very
difficult to shake the belief of any
Muslim because any Muslim who knows
these it's very difficult to find him
someone there's something rash hawks
large us because Islam is the deer of
different ocean understand yeah very
easy for anyone and as you see that it
addresses the deity the average person
it's not so complicated it's very simple
i can take it and i applied yeah this is
we thank Allah subhanAllah tahala for
giving us this quran which is a guidance
many verses in the quran many
afters talk about these issues as
guidance and here is one example and I
hope the viewers would have understood
what I say that enjoyed it and I hope
it's holiday applied in their life in
order to be able to distinguish the true
God from the false gods thank you very
much ditto shall I look forward to
having you get back here on today's show
Jeffrey Locker thank you for sitting
through another episode of the Dean show
you got to hear it hear that God is
uniquely one he is independent of all we
are all dependent on him he's not the
father of no one nor as he fathered any
children and he is unique there's
nothing like the creator of the heavens
and earth so start with that step and
ask him call upon him alone to guide you
to help make things clear and tune in
here every week to the Dean show we'll
see you next time God willing until then
peace be unto you assalamu alaikum
oh he created the universe to him along
the heavens and the earth l11 he is the
first he's the owner of Mercy Ethan his
messengers to all his creatures on the
great danger Oh worshipping Allah then
Allah there is none greater
the creator
