this is the show and the first sh and
the first
sh Allah made it that you because of the
situation he came himself to the dean
[Music]
Center life of a
traveler experiences from different
lands conversations with a
brother look at what Allah planned now
you have the miracle that's mentioned in
the Quran the splitting of the
Moon I love you you're doing when I was
ready to talk about it I would only talk
to I was explaining how much respect I
have for the
[Music]
of it's long overdue it's a pleasure
this has been a dream I remember sitting
with you in Chicago and talking about
the dean Center and uh how someday
inshallah we're going to work on it and
now it's happening I want to tell you a
story uh but first I want to talk start
off with our first shahada we just had
it together here yesterday alhamdulillah
and we didn't just have an average
person except Islam we had the legend ho
Gracie most of you out there know our
brother
now before Habib there was Ho Gracie
because if there wasn't a ho Gracie
there wouldn't be no UFC what's the
moral of the story that if we can have
people like Hoy Gracie the legendary
Bruce Lee of our time come and visit the
D Center and not only visit but take his
shahada imagine all of the other people
who know zero to nothing about Islam who
able to come in and learn and inshallah
go from being Abu J to potentially Abu
talib's or even like Gracie accepting
Islam and that's where you guys come in
help us to reach our goals so we can go
ahead and make this a reality to get up
open and running donate right now and
help us to reach our goal and for those
people that don't know you knew anybody
who's into the martial arts they know
Bruce Lee right of course
but Bruce Lee was fiction we got the
real one yeah so now we have uh someone
who hit the scene the family the Gracie
family then you had ho Gracie how many
You' heard of ho
Gracie yeah so how many knew that we had
him here yesterday anybody oh
alhamdulillah I did so so we had our
first shahada so he came down he came to
visit the dean Center we gave him a tour
he sat with us we started talking and it
was very unique and I I want people to
to understand that anybody who had a
part in contributing helping do they get
a part of that reward from for an
individual accepting Islam like ho did
of course uh first thing
alhamdulillah this is a blessing from
Allah subhana waala that the center is
just opening right now we haven't even
had any events for non-muslims yet and
already we've had a person accept Islam
and not just uh anybody but somebody who
is uh definitely going to be a mean of a
lot of other people learning about
Islam and everybody who contributes
towards the dawa will get the full a
from it this is a beautiful thing about
Islam this is how merciful Allah is this
is how generous Allah is that when
somebody contributes s alh wasallam told
the sahab about when they were in battle
they were going in tabuk he said there
are people back in Medina that they're
not Crossing these valleys they're not
going through these hardships they're
not going but they're getting the full
reward because of their Nia because
their intention and their support So
when somebody supports the dawa with
their intention for the sake of Allah
Allah gives them the full reward so
there may be a sister sitting somewhere
at home who saw the need for the da and
she donated with her intention to be a
part of the dawa and that shahada we
just had she will get the full reward
for it as will you as will everybody
else and that is the generosity of Allah
subhana T what did you think overall and
I like the direction how it went we were
deprogramming
educating uh
initiating and it just seemed like at
the end he was talking about uh because
he had what many people have of the
programming with the mass media what was
going on because that's how we ended up
connecting with what was going on in
Palestine you free Palestine Philistine
and he was having one perspective but he
got to sit with the Muslims and it
seemed like a lot of stuff he didn't
even know the difference between Zionism
and Judaism right was very interesting
we're getting a lot of comments also
what about his post that he had in in
early Feb he had posted something about
supporting Israel and so on but again
people don't realize that instead of
just getting upset we need to educate
educate yes and many things our brother
uh didn't know about so alhamdulillah we
had that conversation with him it's on
the dean show channel so people can
watch the entire uh episode and we
clarified a lot of issues about what
happened before no October 7th what what
is the history and what is the cruelties
that are currently going on and so on
and he was very receptive and he was
open to changing his views about that
but Subhan Allah Allah made it a means
of hi where from that came the
conversation of what he believes yes and
in his heart as you can hear himself
hear him say himself he had a
monotheistic belief and alhamdulillah we
went over that and then we you know
Switched Off the topic and came back to
it and he continuously said that he
believes in one God he believes in none
none should be worshiped he didn't
believe Jesus was God he didn't believe
Jesus should be worshiped he believed
Jesus was a messenger and he believed
the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam was a messenger he wanted to go
from Mecca so alhamdulillah it ended up
with him accepting Islam you know on the
show and alhamdulillah we sat with him
afterwards we had lunch with him we
explained and inshallah you'll see ho
Gracie in meca soon inshallah look and
that was one of the things he kept
saying how do I get there he was he was
asking how do I go to Mecca we said
that's the easiest
Visa so you do believe there's only one
God yes right you have no problem
testifying to that yes and you believe
that Abraham Moses Jesus Muhammad were
all Messengers of God yes you don't
worship any of them right no okay we're
going to do the testimony I'm going to
do it with you all
right it's amazing we're going to say it
in English all right I bear witness
there is none worthy of worship none
word worship except one Allah except one
Allah and I bear witness and I bear WI
witness that Muhammad that Muhammad is a
messenger of Allah it's a messenger of
Allah allahar Muslim that's it we're
going to
Mecca and then we explained it he gave
the little fist BMP said we're going to
Mecca you know again Allah guides whom
he wills and we just hope that Allah
makes us a means of that guidance and
that's what the Deen Center is all about
and Allah made it that you because of
the situation he came himself to the
dean Center and became the first shahada
here at the dean Center alhamdulillah
and I and I think uh I want to and I get
this a lot you tell me if you experien
this also and and this was uh it was me
and brother uh tamour and my son Hamza
and I was taking them out to get
something to eat and very interesting
story I started to the car started
swerving you know more towards one side
and I heard some noise and then tamur
jumped out and said hey you got a flat
tire so we pushed on and we hit the uh
juice place and then uh as we changing
the tire look alhamdulillah I put this
the tire under the car I put the jack a
little bit wrong and then the car fell
so it fell on the tire and then the
brother came this uh Ryan he came I
didn't know his name at that time and he
came out of
nowhere and he started uh where's
tamore
tamore uh he came out of nowhere
right he just came out of nowhere and he
said hey what's going on what you guys
doing there and and he started getting
underneath started helping putting the
Jack he said all that happened to me
before you got to put the Jack like this
blah blah blah and then um at the end
the point of the story is that I asked
him I said what do you know about Islam
after we talked about this that and the
other we gave him some da we explained
what Islam is and what it isn't and then
I asked him what do you know about Islam
would you learn anything about Islam
over these years and he said this now
this is the the important point he said
I have have not heard anything about
Islam except what I heard after the Twin
Towers which obviously this has nothing
to do with Islam wow building six you
know you ever heard building six uh
anyone know building six when I say
seven okay anyways when I mentioned this
I always mentioned this building that
just nothing hit it it just came down by
itself anyways so nothing to do with
Islam but the point the moral of the
story is he's one of the 300 million
Americans he's not even in neutral he's
in a negative
yeah because he was like this is the
only thing I I I heard about Islam do
you get the same thing yeah we get this
a lot Subhan Allah we have a brother in
San Diego I tell the story um he didn't
know anything about Islam in fact we saw
him at a Majid one time and he was
praying and he was making a lot of
mistakes so I told one of the brothers
like you know maybe some new Muslim talk
to him see what's going on and we
started speaking to him and Subhan Allah
he said I'm Muslim but he didn't even
know the shahada so we try to ask him
how did you know about Islam he said
from Fox News MH So what had happened is
you know he was in a gang neighborhood
like a rough neighborhood and Subhan
Allah he was sitting one time and he saw
a TV and he saw Fox News was playing on
it outside his house somewhere at a
restaurant or somewhere and he saw a lot
of Nega negative information about Islam
you know lies that they were spreading
but to him he was like man that's
Gangsta you know that is some Gangsta
Thug stuff you know like we're gangsters
but those guys oh man I got to join that
gang so it sparked his curiosity and he
went and then he got a Quran and he
started reading it and he realized that
that's nothing to do with Islam the lies
that are being told are not what Islam's
about and he just went online he didn't
know any Muslims and he accepted Islam
in his heart and he was trying to learn
how to pray from videos and then he just
came to a mjid and we ran into him so a
lot of people they have misconcep
ceptions but Allah sometimes makes a way
for them to find out about Islam like
your car breaking down or your tire this
was a way Allah made the sa our brother
horse Gracie you know he Allah made a
way for him through this situation inaz
and his ignorance of what's going on and
then from educating him Allah made a way
of guiding him towards the truth and
we're seeing a lot of that right now in
San Diego a lot of people that we see at
the parks they come and tell us I had no
interest in Islam but and I started
watching the faith of the people of Gaza
how they're strong even when they're
being bombed even when they have nothing
they're turning to Allah they're praying
because of that I want to learn about
Islam and you can see the videos on the
one message Foundation Channel you'll
see many of those people end up
accepting Islam just from watching this
on TV so if we don't get out if you have
the Ryan and this individual and where
they're getting their information from
the Fox News and the confusion the lies
the billion dollar call it the million
it's a billion dollar industry this
Islam B bashing this uh these hate
provocators that are out there if we
don't get out there and deliver this
message who will so that's the thing
Allah subhana T has put this
responsibility upon us as a umah to be
the representatives of The Messengers
we're here to bring this message of
Islam and if we don't we will be
questioned about it on the day of
judgment you know everybody complains
about the media everybody complains
about not having the the ability to give
the Narrative of Islam but Allah has
opened up that path and mallah Allah
bless you and the dean show you were
from the people who were the forerunners
in using the social media to bring the
true Message of Islam now we have this
opportunity we have this ability that we
tell our own story we make our own
narrative we tell the truth we show The
Real Islam and if we don't take
advantage of that we'll be held
accountable on the day of judgment when
our neighbors and our co-workers were
misinformed why didn't we take the
opportun continue to inform them you
know for many for many of us when we
were going to school as little kids uh
we were taken to Holocaust museums and
places where we had to walk around and
learn about these things and you know
and and I used to wonder you know when
when the battle when the war in Bosnia
was going on and genocide there was
going on that when would Muslims have
that opportunity and then I realized
that we have to make those ourself here
inshallah in the dean Center in the dawa
section when we're going to have a place
where people can walk off the street and
come see exhibitions about Islam and
hear about speakers speak to them about
Islam and any times walk in and learn
about Islam This Is
Us narrating our own story in the future
of America and it's very I mean when you
get to know your dean and you are on
that pure monotheism and you compare it
you see what's out there you studied
you're student also comparative religion
myself you look at everything out there
you you have natur this confidence that
comes because and that was a very
interesting you see Ho's son also he's
asking questions and you know if you if
someone's asking you questions and
you're talking about uh UFOs and
martians and all this weird stuff I mean
that doesn't go with the fitra does it
but Islam goes with the fitra so you
gain that confidence now and then people
are intrigued like ho you're talking to
him and he's just sitting there
listening yeah naturally if you start
talking God is a man this things that
don't make sense he's got the courage to
step up and start the question right of
course but everything made sense
alhamdulillah you know it was as if
everything was already in place Allah
just made us that means for that final
step of the shahada yeah and we see that
a lot a lot of people if you ask them
what do you believe about God unless
they've been programmed otherwise they
will tell you you know he's the Creator
he's above he's the one that created us
he's the one that guides us he's the one
that feeds us I pray to him hardly
anybody will be like it's a blue
guy or or you see that cow over there
that we're going to make Stakes out of
later that's God you know like like
unless somebody tries to really
brainwash you with that kind of stuff
nobody believes that right um recently I
was in Dubai and Kuwait and Qatar mallah
had an amazing trip and we had a a
debate with a Christian Pastor Bible
scholar PhD you know and it's very
important because we get a lot of people
that are like oh you know you're
debating people on the streets whatever
but they're not knowledgeable well this
guy has a PHD um he was sent by a church
to and his PhD is in using the Bible to
spread the church to increase their
their following so he was somebody who
forly studied doctorate in using of the
Bible for their dawa and he was in Dubai
officially as a a preacher there to
spread Christianity and he has a church
and a congregation 4,000 followers all
of that kind of stuff and we had to sit
down and debate with him and it's on
it's on our Channel you can see the
video it's in two parts and none of his
belief made sense to the point that even
as a Bible scholar he ended up saying
well it's a mystery it's a mystery I
can't explain it it's a mystery you know
but the Islamic AA the Islamic belief is
so pure it's so simple it's such F such
a a natural state that a person would be
on that it's very easy to explain one
Creator uncreated always been there
always will be there created us gave us
purpose to recognize him and to worship
Him and this life is a stage in the
stages of The Human Experience we were
Souls then we were we transitioned from
from the place where we had no body we
were just souls to being in the womb of
the mother that was one life which we
can see is very different from this
worldly life right you you you don't eat
with your mouth you don't go to a job
you don't me people you don't go to
school you are fed through a tube that's
connected to your belly Nobody's around
you N9 months about is that life and
then you die from that life and you come
into the belly of this Earth totally
different existence whether you're going
to live one day or 100 years it's going
to be totally different the way you
interact with people the way you live
the way you look you speak you have
teeth you eat you work and these this
stage will die it's only a stage you
will die from this life and you'll go
into the belly of the Grave the barzak
and now the rules will change you're not
going to eat the way you eat here Allah
will sustain you you have a life in
Barak but not in this worldly life and
then you will die from that life into
the Hereafter you'll be recreated raised
on the day of judgment brand new body
you know from the from the bottom of the
tailbone that'll be left a little bit
you know is left then you'll be
recreated now imagine when the sahaba
were hearing about this they couldn't
have imagined this but today with DNA
and cloning we can understand how that
works and Allah is on all of that this
judgment that comes after that is is
human basic F that we would agree that
nobody gets away with anything if you're
a rapist murderer you're not going to
get away with it you're going to be held
accountable for your deeds and then you
will either be punished or you will be
rewarded for how you lived now when you
take that belief it's so simple it makes
perfect sense it's Justice Allah is
merciful he can forgive your sins
wonderful
but if you take that aside and say no no
Jesus came and died for your sins all
you got to do is believe in Jesus and
then salvation's free like what so he
got a rapist murderer robbing people and
and now he's not going to be held
accountable because he just believes in
Jesus you know and then somebody else
some Hindu girl somewhere is living a
good life but she's going to go to hell
because she didn't believe in Jesus you
know like like it doesn't there's no
accountability right so it doesn't
really make sense and that's why when
you starts speaking to even preachers
and pastors they start falling apart
that belief doesn't make sense how can
that a man who sleeps and eats and goes
to the bathroom and so on be fully God
you know when I asked the pastor like
was Jesus fully God he said yes I said
did he know everything yes did he know
the hour no how could he know and not
know it doesn't make sense but Islam
alhamdulillah Allah knows everything
other than Allah nobody knows everything
even the prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wasallam didn't know everything
when he was asked about the day of
judgment he said I don't know you know
when jelam asked him in the Hadith he
says the questioner doesn't know any
more than one being question meaning
jelam doesn't know and the prophet
sallallah Al wasallam doesn't know when
is the day of judgment only Allah knows
Allah is all knowing but none of the
creation none of the prophets are all
knowing right that belief is so simple
and so beautiful that's why you see
Islam spreading and alhamdulillah Islam
is spreading in every state in America
in every country from South America
around the world you see Islam as the
fastest growing religion through
conversion not just birth rates as some
people try to say the Pew Institute if
you look at the the the stats that have
been put forward according to conversion
Islam is the fastest growing religion
even though we have some of the least
missionary work if you look at the
Mormons if you look at the jws if you
look at you know the Catholic Ministries
the amount of money and resources and
billions of dollars that are being put
into spreading Christianity we don't
even match anywhere close to it as
Muslims we don't even have any kind of
governmental International Organization
like for example the Mormons have and Jo
Witnesses for spreading the religion me
and you are individuals you know I don't
know if you get a check from any
government because I don't you know
right um I mean if anybody does I'm open
but I'm just kidding I'm just kidding
right but just as individuals just as
Muslims regularly we've come together
and look at how how the dean is
spreading truly I like this point that
you said it's not because you'll see
some people out there that'll say it's
because of birth rates but this is oh no
no false this is this is I mean if you
look at statistics yeah this is
important numbers the conversion rates
of people becoming Muslim is the fastest
growing religion in the world yes
alhamdulillah Muslims have children and
we have by the will of Allah subhana T
the Muslim is growing that way as well
but that's not what we're talking about
we're talking about people that are
choosing to be Muslim and you see it
right now you see it from Brothers like
Andrew Tade Brothers like sneo brothers
you know football players basketball
players boxers and our brother horse
Gracie I mean yesterday alhamdulillah
you see people that come from a
background that had nothing to do with
Islam coming and becoming Muslim
alhamdulillah and these are people you
see but on on our videos you can see
alhamdulillah we've had thousands in
fact in the last two years we're
estimating around 3,500 people that we
know of from omf that have become Muslim
right these are people that came from
non-muslim backgrounds that are
accepting Islam and that's just us and
there are many duat out there in the
world doing a lot more than us I think
this conversation that you had with the
uh PhD the Christian that was a very
respectful conversation very he was very
polite cordial but the obvious things
that you were bringing up he couldn't
answer you brought up the was it the
King was he
4222 straight contradiction clear
numerical you couldn't run from that and
then it seems like they get into sto
stories now they explain try to explain
preacher mode
preacher yeah so this gives you how does
this how do you relate to now this with
with the Quran now because we don't have
this issue now but some people go ahead
and try to throw some things out there
break your
confidence the Quran alhamdulillah
alhamdulillah we thank Allah we praise
Allah is is
totally at a different level mhm the
first thing is most of the Bible as we
see it today is not even attributed to
be the words of God meaning I have a
Redline Bible I'm sure you do as well so
which shows you what is attributed to
the words of being of Jesus peace and
blessings be upon him and they make it
in red MH and hardly any of the New
Testament I mean the Old Testament
obviously no there's it's before the
time of Jesus peace be upon him but the
New Testament is not even attributed to
being the words of Jesus most of it is
not right so the words of Paul or the
words of anonymous authors they're not
even the words of God God himself is
very seldom speaking in the Old
Testament or the New Testament right
there are verses that are attributed to
him so the Quran on on the opposite of
that is 100% the words of
Allah in the Quran nowhere is it the
prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam addressing us even when the
prophet is told to say something it it
is say oh
Prophet say this is my
way he's being told what to say the the
words the Quran are 100% Allah's words
right so that's the first unique thing
that you can find about the Quran that
it's not a man's narrative one of the
things I asked that PhD Bible scholar
and and Pastor is was there a Bible in
the time of Jesus the way you have it
today and his answer was no meaning a
lot of those accounts even according to
Christians weren't even written in the
lifetime of Jesus I mean in the time of
the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam the whole Quran was there the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
recited the entire Quran to the sahabah
many of the sahabah and and I've
documented I think 32 in one of the
videos where I can give references
historic to each one of them having
memorized and knowing their names you
know many of the felt there was more
than a thousand of the sah that
memorized the Quran but we can give you
names
abdah so many
that we can show that they memorize the
entire Quran word by word letter by
letter from the prophet Sall wasallam
himself and in the last year of his life
he recited the whole Quran with Jam
twice in Ramadan and to the sahabah so
this is one thing very unique we had the
whole Quran in the lifetime of the
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam if
you look at the Christian traditions of
the Bible today the New Testament much
of it even according to them wasn't even
written I mean Paul for example never
met Jesus maybe he saw a vision I don't
know maybe he was I don't what he was
smoking whatever but right
but even if you look at a chronological
historic view he never met Jesus so all
of the writings of Paul that are in the
New Testament could not have been there
in the time of Jesus peace be upon him
on this earth right and then if you look
at the actual authorship of many of the
books like John Matthew Luke and so on
those were definitely manuscripts that
were written in k Greek way later on
right so whether you take the earliest
little scrap that looks like a credit
card size that being 70 years after the
time of Jesus peace be upon Him ad or
you took look at codc caticus the first
semicomplete manuscript that's going to
be fourth
Century again none of that going to be
so so Jesus peace be upon Him according
to them even he would have never read
this know so all of this is kind of
developed later and that's why you have
Catholic Bibles that have different
chapters and books and this something I
brought up with the with the with the
preacher and he had to admit that
according to him as a as a Protestant
Christian those books are not divinely
inspired and according to Catholics they
are just as Divine as the others so
which one is it right for us as Muslims
you have alhamdulillah so many brothers
here how many of you have ever seen
raise your hand if you've ever seen a
Quran that is not 114
chapters No Hands No Hands huh how many
have you ever seen a Quran that's not 30
je or a Quran that doesn't begin with Al
or that doesn't end withas no
alhamdulillah you're from different
countries and different backgrounds and
you might recite different like our
brother M reciting today right but every
Quran is 30 JS every Quran is 114
chapters every Quran begins with Al F
end with is the exact same in the same t
this is the miracle of the preservation
of the Quran that is unmatched that
nobody can deny even you know there's a
Bible scholar Dr Bart Man and I've
mentioned him many times and he he he's
somebody who was a very practicing
Evangelical Christian Professor PhD in
the Bible and then he he became agnostic
atheist because of whatever he saw in
the mistakes of Christianity and so on
may Allah guide him he's not a Muslim so
I'm not quoting a Muslim Source here but
he he clearly says that that this Bible
was and he's written five or six New
York bestseller books and so on that he
shows that this Bible was not the words
that Jesus taught to his followers that
it has been changed he's got a book
called forged and how the Bible was
forged uh you know changing making uh
Jesus into God how the original
Christians did not consider Jesus to be
God and so on right and he was asked and
I have this in some of our videos put
that clip he was asked what about the
Quran and he says from what I know the
Quran has been very Faithfully preserved
unlike the Bible and this is an atheist
agnostic Professor so alhamdulillah the
first thing is the Quran is the words of
Allah it's not the words of Paul or the
words of John or anybody else Mo Larry
anybody else like that right and it is
preserved so being the words of God and
being preserved this by itself is enough
to know this is the truth I don't know
if you know the uh research that was
done to substantiate this point where
they put the Hadith the words of prophet
Muhammad s wasallam and the words of the
Quran and they did by this test this
study that they did that they were able
to this is non-muslims I don't know if
you know about this that they determined
that no no these two are distinct
they're different of course you know
when you study the Quran from the of
Quran you see and the style of writing
of the Quran and if you look at the the
you know the a book called Al Malik Alia
is a thousand bait like two lines is a
bait poem Malik very famous and there is
a very famous
called when I studied in the we studied
with the and in it you study a lot of
the Poetry of the time before Islam and
they had styles of writing poems and
they would have a format how they would
praise their tribe and how they would
insult the others and so on and so on
and when the Quran was revealed it was
totally unique and the prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam wasn't a poet
he never wrote poetry and that's why the
Hadith are not in the style of the Quran
the Quran was so unique that The Poets
of the Arab who were excellent at poetry
they were the experts they wrote 30,000
line poems you know 10,000 lines so many
they could not match the Quran and
that's why hit the famous companion of
the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
who was a poet when he heard the Quran
he said this is not from any man and he
became Muslim and when he gave da toim
for example he told them that listen to
the Quran and you will see that your
best poets can tell you this is not the
work of any poet it's not the work of
any man there is a linguistic aspect to
the miracle of the Quran and of course
there are scientific aspects to Miracle
of the Quran many things that are in the
Quran there is no way that a man in a
desert more than 1400 years ago could
have known and this is something Dr Mir
Bai many other non-muslims who became
Muslim from from looking at science and
the Quran have explained when we did our
program some time ago you were for those
that haven't heard this I thought that
was fascinating it's because it's one
thing it's mentioned now you have the
miracle that's mentioned in the Quran
the splitting of the Moon yes but then
you went and you quoted sources can you
share those sources that you quoted from
non-muslim sources and people who had
traveled to this part of the world who
also has spotted yeah so so one of the
Miracles in in the Quran that is
mentioned is a splitting of the Moon and
we know that through mut through
numerous chains that we considered to be
what we call that there is no doubt to
it from a Hadith that this incident
happened many Muslims and and and
unfortunately many of you in our DU had
a little bit of a hesitation when they
talked about this and non-muslims most
of them doubted this so for me being a
Muslim I wanted if I saw something in
the Quran and I saw something in Hadith
I wanted to put forth a nonbiased
objective evidence-based approach on
this so of course for me if it's in the
Quran I believe it that's me personally
but if I'm speaking to a non-muslim who
doesn't believe in the Quran I cannot
just say well it's in you know if it's
in I believe it it's but I cannot tell a
non-muslim M he doesn't know what M
right so of course inkari and so
on so we I said okay let's look at
history for example if I speak to you
about kleopatra kleopatra the the queen
of uh you know Egypt of her time you've
heard of her right you believe she
existed right you SE your history books
you studied her little coins and all
that right MH how do you know how do you
know have you ever seen her no do you
know anybody that personally saw her no
do you know the names of any eyewitness
that saw her that reported she married
Augustus or Julius or this or that
everything that were taught as sure
knowledge history in our books just
because it was printed in a book that
was printed a few years ago you're
supposed to swallow it we're supposed to
swallow it right Alexander the Great as
they call him from Macedonia right um he
conquered all the way through Egypt lots
of the Middle East all the way into
current day Northern Pakistan
Afghanistan you know and then he died
there and he conquered all this area and
Northern Africa and this how do you
know right I mean yes it's in history
books who wrote those books how do we
know they didn't just pump him up
exactly to try to put him above KH right
so now when we look at history we say
okay we have historic references people
who wrote down that okay Alexander was
here most of those scribes we don't
actually know their names right but we
take that as a collective history okay
so now let's look at the incident about
the splitting of the Moon we have the
first last name lineage of many many
reporters who were eyewitnesses for
example Abdullah Abbas he reports the
Hadith his name is Abdullah his son is
his his father is Abbas he isi we know
his tribe we know his memory we know
where he lived we know he was a very
accurate reporter we know that he's was
a eyewitness account another one is Ann
Malik right we know his name is anas we
know his father's name is Malik we know
about his mother and and who she married
Abu T and we know about his brother Al
we know his whole history right and we
know that he was in Medina at the time
at the time of this incident which he
reported he was in Madina so we know
that this was witnessed by not just the
people of mekah we have eyewitnesses
from Madina but now and again I want to
be objective yes somebody could come
back and say Well they're Muslims so
maybe they're doing it in a way to try
to prove a point maybe they're bias okay
confirmation bias and so on but we also
know that Al M and Abu sufyan who for
example Abu sufyan later became Muslim
but at that time wasn't he also was an
iwitness in the book and in the video If
you put Faron splitting the video comes
up you can see I've scanned the actual
pages of the book and I show them
non-muslims that were there witnessed it
and they testified to it some of them
later became Muslim like Abu sufyan some
of them never became Muslim but they
still testified like Abu jel and Abu
they testified that they saw this with
their own eyes the enemies of the
Prophet enemies of the Prophet testify
that they saw they testified
itani and others have documented this
has it right so they say and even though
they wanted to deny it so they said
maybe Muhammad Al wasallam did Magic on
our eyes maybe he's it's an optical
illusion so they asked the beduins that
were on the outskirts did you see it
they said yes we saw it they had
Caravans that were out traveling they
took months to come back and when they
came back they said hey did you see it
they said yes we saw it right so now you
have Muslim eyewitness accounts you have
non-muslims who are enemies still
confirming this and the fact that it's
in the Quran in that was recited in
front of the mus in front of the
polytheists that were the enemies of
Islam and they never objected to it
right this continued but now people say
well how come nobody outside the Arabian
Peninsula saw it okay I mean now we've
already given you more evidence than for
Alexander and kleopatra and for all
Julius and Augustus and all that we're
giving you actual eyewitnesses their
memories who they told it to Al and
others who were narrators who heard it
who who wrote it down bukari and IM
Ahmed and IM Malik and others right
we're giving you all that evidence that
you don't have for Western history but
let's give you more right if they say
what about reports from other parts of
the world well obviously in Americas in
Europe it would be daytime I mean if
it's the early part of the night there
it's going to be daytime so you're not
going to have them as Witnesses and even
if they saw it not necessar they would
document it and in the Far East of it
like China Japan it would be very late
in the night and and so on so the
earliest time zone that it would be a
later part of the night would be in
around which India is right so do we
have any reports well we do
now again I'm being objective and fair
and balanced and all of that those
reports do not meet our standards of
Hadith our standards are very strict you
know we we make sure nothing is sha and
nothing conflicts and nothing is this
way and this so on because we are very
strict in what we accept none of Western
history would would meet that standard
today right but according to the
standards acceptable by Indian
historians they did have a king in India
that saw the splitting of the Moon and
he didn't know what it was but he
witnessed it and he asked his people and
this was documented and many of the
Europeans that went to India and I've
given references in our video they
actually said that the Indians have this
in their history including people that
were Dutch and others that came and they
said you know what this is in their oral
and written Traditions then when the
Muslims came to India later on any in
the town of Malik dinar and others those
kings they said yes we had witnessed
this and they accepted Islam and they
built a Masjid and that mjid still
stands that mjid is still there in fact
the prime minister of India who's very
anti-muslim BJP right-wing Hindu
nationalist
Modi um he made a replica of that Majid
in gold and sent it as a gift to the
king of Saudi Arabia I and trying to
build trade relations saying look India
has such a long-standing history with
Islam that this is a mosque that was
built by the king who saw the splitting
of the moon so even the rightwing Hindu
Vita RSS BJP hate Muslims of India
admit and quote that there was a king in
India that witnessed the splitting of
the Moon who later became Muslim because
of this miracle so again we have our own
standards in Hadith and they're very
strict and so on but according to their
standards what they accept as history
this is something that was documented
there as well so we have more evidences
to this miracle than any non-muslim
history that's pre you know videotaping
and pictures even you know they're
landing on the moon right like many
people don't believe that we land on the
Moon they they doubt the videos and so
on but where is the second hand and
third hand and fourth fourth hand
eyewitness accounts and so on where is
the non-american sources that can prove
it we don't have it right but here we
have all of that in fact when you talk
about NASA now NASA doesn't say whether
the moon split or not that's not their
job NASA is not in the in the business
of whether Jesus walked on water or
Moses split the ocean or so on right but
NASA has said that there are cracks
across the surface of the Moon that go
all the way around and the no the moon
has two distinct sides and according to
NASA and I've shown pictures from their
website and in the video that we have
they say that it is very possible that
the moon was split into two or came from
two different sources right now they
can't tell you exactly whether those are
lava tunnels or whether they're cracks
or being split but the two sides of the
Moon have some distinct features that
tell you at one time they were separated
right and this is what the NASA says so
that tells you that scientifically there
is no objection to the Moon having been
split now people say oh what about the
oceans what about the waves again if the
moon splits and comes back together it's
not like the world's going to end
you know this is something that people
don't understand and it's a miracle it's
not something that would be in
accordance to the regular natural laws
that's why it's a miracle if it was just
a a shooting star or something well
that's not a miracle right I can you
know predict a shooting star that's not
the issue but I can't make the moon
split and bring it back together that's
a miracle from Allah to show this is a
true Prophet now just for fun because
people like to challenge this who are
the eyewitnesses for Moses splitting the
ocean I believe in it because the Quran
but if you're going to take it through a
objective review Jews and Christians who
say you know he did split the ocean or
the sea were your Witnesses where's the
history of it right but they just oh
it's in the Bible well and we're giving
you evidences not just from the Quran
and Hadith we're giving you actual
historic reports and that's why Islam is
such a clear truth I want to thank you
