to Paradise when we come back here on

Allah there's only one God and Jesus his
[Music]
messenger I don't know why I did that
maybe maybe it's just to break the
ice peace be unto you and to you as well
I'm getting very comfortable working
with you aldah me too we've done some
shows in the past and people can go to
the dean show you got your own section
there let may Allah accept may Allah
accept this from us all of us now a mean
there's a key yeah and that key fits
into somewhere so we want to talk about
this key it's not to someone's house car
it's the key to Paradise yeah let's talk
about this sh please when we talk about
the key to
Paradise we really don't talk about a
real key but we talk about a metaphor
here that and any key that has some
teeth in
it uh without these teeth it wouldn't
open and here we're talking about
opening the key the opening the door of
paradise and the Gate of paradise on the
top of that is
knowledge seeking
knowledge so the first key is seeking
knowledge having knowledge because if
you don't have knowledge about something
you become ignorant you don't know
what's going on so seeking knowledge and
that's why seeking knowledge is an
obligation upon every male or female
Muslim and in fact it is an obligation
on everyone because if you can afford it
yes you can do it so with
knowledge you would know what you're
doing you would know what Allah subhana
tal wants from you without
knowledge what can you do for example
let me give you an example can you build
a car without knowledge about mechanics
without knowledge about electricity
without know you cannot no it takes some
effort it takes some effort you need you
need the knowledge before you start
practicing yeah so seeking knowledge is
very important knowing the things
especially this religion is all of it is
based on
knowledge Allah is telling Muhammad
wasallam you should know that there's no
God except Almighty Allah so seeking
knowledge and is the first te to that we
said among these all teeth that in the
key that would help you open Paradise so
the first tooth is seeking knowledge and
the second what what should you know
first a person in this life what does he
need to know first there's a lot of
things that are going on in the world
for example let me tell you that the
amount of knowledge that were brought up
to humanity in Year
2007 equals the amount of knowledge that
was on the earth for the last 5,000
years knowledge a lot of information a
lot of data a lot of knowledge are there
and we need to know so which which type
of knowledge that I need to know because
there's a lot and you have to pick and
choose now there should be priorities
and this is done in the first message
that was given to Prophet Muhammad peace
be upon him the first message was given
to him was read recite know about
what about your lord so not it's a step
here it's not step here achieving the
PHD first that can be come second third
or four come second it come with it it
but the main priority is you should know
about your creator know about the one
who gave you life yes and who will give
you death absolutely when the prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam
there was a case that a Shepherd hit his
uh uh maid or servant who was looking
after his sheep and the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam called her
and asked her about the first thing the
first question that the prophet
sallallah Ali wasallam asked her was
where is Allah so he asked him a
question of knowledge so she said she
pointed to this guy and the prophet
sallallah alaihi wasallam from this
answer knew knew that she is a Muslim so
he asked a person to set her free yeah
so what I'm saying here the importance
of knowledge here because you cannot be
any person who has value in this life
without know
why why is it difficult for a lot of
people you'll see them acquire even sit
through the toughest math classes the
toughest Calculus class and they'll
study so hard because they have a vision
they have a vision they're going to get
this degree and then they're going to
get this status but when it comes to
getting a person a book to read about
something that should be the most
important thing who their creator is
absolutely and what he wants from him
this is like Kryptonite to some people
you know Kryptonite Superman that makes
the strongest man we they just find this
so difficult why is this simply because
I would say that their vision is very
limited Vision they don't have this
broad Vision that even the vision that
we Muslims have is given to us by
Almighty Allah he said that directed
Vision to the maximum goal the maximum
goal is what for any one is Paradise
reaching Paradise in order to enjoy all
the type of En enjoyment that Allah
subhana tala will provide us in order to
see Allah subhana wa taala in order to
live with forever not suffering from any
type of disease or any type of Calamity
we want this type of Life they're not
seeing that they're not seeing that
they're just limited to a PhD or
graduation or working in a big job and
being a rich person or something or
making some achievements in the world
yes which is not bad but it is still a
limited version in comparison with this
big whole picture that a Muslim targets
and I think any one of them is is is
subject to training I mean we can train
when they know the truth they start
changing so the prop Allah directed
Muhammad s Ali wasam and directed all of
us is that your first priority in this
life is your lord your creator you
should know the one who gave you
everything that you have you have a
brain you got to be HD because of your
brain it's because who gave you this
brain it's Almighty Allah you didn't
make your brain you just used it
correctly mhm right and there if you
used it correctly there's another way of
using using it better the way to use it
better is to know about the one who gave
you this pray in order to thank him
right in order to tell him that yes I am
grateful to you because you endowed me
with all these good qualities that I use
them in this life without them I cannot
live without them I could not compete so
that key that we put in the key is the
first truth of it is knowledge seeking
knowledge and this knowledge should be
linked with the most important knowledge
which is the Allah subh knowing about
Allah that's why the second thing after
seeking knowledge knowledge
of muhamad let's let's elaborate on this
you said so there's something here of a
negation NE absolutely a Muslim would
say but before he said that Allah is the
only
Lord he would say he would negate all
the gods that are claimed to be gods he
would negate that and he would say that
there is no true God because there are
many goods for example in India there
are 360 million Idols people worship
them they think they are Gods so
everywhere in the world you find people
think that that they are Gods this is
God this is God this is God so before
you say Allah you should negate that
there is not a single other God except
Almighty Allah so some examples if you
were living during the time now of an
another messenger say Jesus peace be
upon and let say they were worshiping
you know Jupiter Venus the Greeks and
the Romans they had all these different
gods those were negation they're not God
today we don't have those Gods let's say
someone doesn't visualize that give us
some practical example how money your
status job can be think talk about this
yes for example
people their own ideas their own whims
people love themselves so much to the
degree that they think that they are
gods and the Quran said something about
that
said have you seen the person who have
seen his desires who have taken his
desires as his own God that means that
he's following his
desires so that's like what I think my
opinion is my opinion is better than
opion yeah so forget about what God
Almighty said God said it's me I and you
find a lot of people so now you made
yourself a god absolutely when say I did
that yeah we did that they are making
themselves something about above other
human beings yeah uh this is of course
one of the diseases that the people have
and they need to refocus their attention
to rethink of the passage that they are
going through with that let's take a
break sh and we'll be back here God
willing on the de show exactly no speech
is better than to do that to call people
to Allah and to do the work no speech is
better no nothing is better than that is
it true that if one person on the Allah
giving you the ability to guide someone
with Allah's permission the Creator's
permission that is better than
everything in this world better than the
whole world and everything that's in it
in in another narration it's better than
the best of wealth but if we really felt
that Eddie Would we not be out giving da
and this is something that we encourage
all the msas all the da organizations
the mids to get this we want to print
more we give these to the non-muslims
for free for free for free we want our
brothers in humanity become our brothers
in FA
not afraid to stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone if
a li by I am not afraid to stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone if
it lies by I am not afraid to stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone if
Lies by I am not afid stand alone
welcome back to the dean show we are
discussing the key to Paradise we left
off with knowledge and now we're coming
to the negation negating any other de
God and you left off with desires you
making yourself into a guy please talk
about or other other examples that
people love money so much or people love
other desires so much these are types of
and people still love and worship Idol
in different places right so then this
issue is very important knowledge about
God now we're talking about God except
who is here Allah subhana wa
tala when we say this we need to focus
on two issues the most important things
that's to guarantee and ensure that the
knowledge that you get about God is
correct mhm because if this knowledge is
not correct it will lead to deviant
thinking that just makes sense you want
to write a biography about someone make
sure it's ACC exactly because if you
misunderstand any quality of him this
will lead you to other things gotcha
yeah for example a misunderstanding is
that when when people say that God has a
son which is according to the Quran
according to our belief or according to
any rational that it it's the biggest
insult that you make to God when you say
that the reason is give us the reason
about so it bring it home absolutely
many people are having this belief the
the reason is you
downgrade Almighty Allah from the
Divinity level to the human level mhm
because this is a quality of creature
quality of humans to have son animals
too right animals and all all the
creatures yeah but it is not the quality
of the creation it's not the quality of
the creator of this creation Allah
subhana is unique is different from that
so when you insult him by saying that he
has a son this is the biggest insult
yeah the reason is that you downgrade
him yeah and the Quran has many verses
about that you're making him similar to
his creature and there's nothing similar
to the creat nothing similar is to
Almighty Allah nothing is equal to him
nothing is like him yeah yeah so
knowledge that's why so knowledge you
have to be sure that it is
authentic 100% otherwise it it affects
the brain and that's why you find many
people if not all the people who became
Muslims who were Christians for example
they would say that we never truly
believe that God has a son because it
just doesn't make sense yeah it doesn't
make sense yeah it doesn't and then this
this they found the answer in the Quran
almost in every a yes cuz we when we
think about it we think okay you know
cats have kittens dogs have puppies cows
have calves what would a God have baby
God he has baby God doesn't make sense
baby God and and we said what does he
look like and he becomes in a form of a
man now you got to describe describe God
what color was he yeah because if you
say that the son is like this so you
imagine that he looks like his father so
now you giv a visual you're giving him
something visual Allah is beyond that
you limit God when you say that that he
has a son or you give him any quality
that the human beings have anyone now I
think you know what the light bulb's
coming on if they're sincere
alhamdulillah so now this is an
important issue seeking the knowledge
about good which is correct and
authentic knowledge MH the second one is
the more you get knowledge about Allah
the more you live soundly and safely in
this earth
yes because you would know that he loves
you he is so merciful to you he is the
all knowing he is the all powerful you
know all these aspects of Almighty Allah
so you start knowing him and this
knowing and this knowledge about Allah
leads to love you cannot love some
that you are not aware of if I ask you
this question do you love Rutan and nka
do you love it you can see it in your
face this is a this is what are you
talking about these are beautiful fruits
yeah but you don't know them because you
don't have you didn't have any
experience with them they are very
beautiful fruits that that grow in
Southeast Asia and because you don't
know them you cannot develop this
positive relationship with them but I
know them so I know I love them simply
because I know them so when you know
about Allah subh you taught developing
this attitude of loving Almighty Allah
based on the knowledge that you get on
him so how do we get the knowledge so we
said a negation okay so we want to know
that we're negating anything that was in
the creation was born is here living
with us died that was not God can never
be God so God is the one who created
everything absolutely that is the first
part right yeah let's move on to the
second okay the second part that
Muhammad is his messenger okay is that
same as like if you were living during
the time of Jesus he was the messenger
abely this Moses was the messenger I'm
coming to that the message at the time
of Jesus
was and Jesus is the messenger same what
you just said negation affir of course
because negating all false gods it's
it's impossible that Jesus would give a
different message than Moses than than
Abraham than Muhammad all of them are
messengers it doesn't make sense what
makes sense is that all those Messengers
brought the same message from Almighty
Allah to their people yeah so now yeah
and the reason is you have to witness
that because the information about God
that we got we got through Muhammad mhm
or at the time of Jesus the the people
there got it through Jesus at the time
of Moses they got it through Moses so
there should be this is the second part
of it there's no God but Allah and
Muhammad is his messenger
so because Muhammad is the one who
brought us the knowledge about God he
brought us the Quran and the Quran is
the main source of knowledge about God
just like Jesus if you can elaborate on
this he brought Revelation which was the
inil theil and then Moses bought the
torat the torat absolutely so you had to
go through them not like you had to use
them as inter but through their
teachings through I people get this
confused so they pray through these
people absolutely because the revelation
came to Jesus and the Revelation came to
Moses and the Revelation came to
Muhammad sallu alaihi wasallam so they
know about Allah subhana wa tala and
they teach us about Allah and Allah T
guaranteed that the knowledge that Jesus
had and Moses had and Muhammad had all
this is correct knowledge uhhuh but if
someone says you know what look I love
Jesus so much I'm just going to not
worship him but I'm going to follow his
teaching and they forget about the last
and final M Prophet Muhammad those
people most of them because they didn't
know about Muhammad uhhuh yeah so that's
why they think that need to yes for
example the people at the time of Moses
right they followed the footsteps of
Moses and these footsteps stopped when
Jesus came because Jesus came so
this cancelled I wouldn't say canceled
but at least this revived that so they
should follow the people who were living
who will follow who were following Moses
and Moses died at the time of Jesus they
have to follow Jesus yeah right they
witness that that's it the people people
who were living at the time of Jesus let
me assume that some person who was
living at the time of Jesus and then
after that Jesus was taken to Heaven as
we believe Muslims in that so he
disappeared and after that the message
of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam
came we are obliged to follow the
message of Muhammad but the problem is a
lot of people don't know this issue
don't know that Muhammad sallallah Ali
wasallam is the final messenger and we
tell the people were have you ever heard
about another messenger after Muhammad
no all those people who claim that they
are messenger any average person would
be able to discover that they are fake
they are like of course their
credibility absolutely just look into it
absolutely into their history yeah you
said something amazing the more before
when we spoke the more you look into
this man's life sincerely if you're
looking for trouble if you're looking to
spin something you'll find trouble but
if you're sincere and looking at his
life you'll come to know that he was
indeed a messenger from the Creator AB
like like like Jesus at his time if you
look into his life you would absolutely
that he's a messenger because he was the
best human at that time the best but
some people were spitting on him they
were chasing him out trying to kill him
everyone in the world has some enemies
yeah especially the good ones like like
like Jesus and like Moses like Abraham
the same thing happened to Abraham the
same thing happened to to Moses perfect
absolutely the same same has happened to
the last final
Mage even when they are death yeah when
they are dead even Muhammad sallah Ali
wasallam is still in his grave and still
people are jealous and have show some
hatred to Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam simply because they can see the
effect of a person in his grave on
living people yeah perhaps you can say
this proudly that the Muslims are the
one who follow their messenger this is
you would never find any people follow
their messenger like the Muslims follow
the footsteps of the Prophet Sall let's
take a break and we'll continue okay
we'll be right
back one of the beautiful things about
our religion of Islam is the emphasis on
Direct ritual and prayer to God directly
there is no intermediary the lights will
go on after the party and the party will
end it's very simple and very clear
there are no superstitious rituals no
strange incantations time is running out
we might not make it till tomorrow and
this is something that we need to think
about so if you're find yourself your
Iman is going down check
yourself and that's that's how a lot of
people are with
religion you got some CD or some music
in the car bobbing your head to 50 cents
or they're not willing to let go of
something they know is not working for
them Lady Gaga goooo and all that other
nonsense they know it's not working for
them but they keep hoping that somehow
it will come through for them
until stay tuned 18in biceps we'll see
what happens to Eddie on The Dean
show welcome back to the dean show we're
here with Dr Muhammad mahu and we're
talking about the key to Paradise so
continue on sh we just talked about the
negation affirmation and then the
teacher who was a teacher like Jesus and
Moses and Abraham and today we need to
get to know the last and final messenger
like you said anyone who comes into this
and approaches it sincerely will see
that he was indeed a messenger sent by
the Crater because Allah subh selected
the best human beings to be the
messengers for human beings so Abraham
and Moses and Jesus and Muhammad were
the best at their times and because
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam is
the last messenger so it's he's the
messenger for all human beings I want
you to see the train of
logic here yeah when we talked about the
key with all these teeth and the first
tooth is seeking knowledge and the most
important knowledge is is about Almighty
Allah the creator of the heavens and the
Earth yeah and then that God has
Messengers and we witness that Muhammad
is his a messenger and then we're
talking about now the love of Allah you
the more you know about Allah the more
you love him mhm and again okay so this
is the third or fourth key here uh
fourth tooth what comes after that if
you love Allah what is required from you
this love should be translated into
action mhm and here if if it doesn't
translate into actions it's it's a fake
love mhm it's not a true love if you
want to show that you love someone right
you obey him yeah you obey him for
example if your wife asks you to bring
him
uh a green skirt and you travel and come
back with a black skirt you wouldn't you
are not pleasing your wife if you want
to please her you please her with what
she wants from you yeah not not
according to you this is exactly the
essence of yeah if you want to worship
Allah you worship Allah according to the
way he wants you to worship or if your
mother says son go get me something from
the grocery store and you just kiss her
and say go get it yourself okay
absolutely AB does work so love should
be translated into action and this
action is submission or obedience once
you understood about Allah with all
these attributes beautiful names of
Allah subhana wa taala you need to
translate this into love so now I love
him because of his Mercy I'm ready to do
what you want me to do how how do people
love each other I love him because of
his Beauty yes he's the the most
beautiful thing in this universe right
and anyway so after that you love him
you need to translate this into
obedience into
submission the word obedience and
submission this is the essence or this
is exactly the same meaning of Islam you
become a Muslim you surrender yourself
you submit yourself to the will of Allah
oh Allah what do you want from me mhm
whatever you want from me I am willing
to do submit I'm here your service here
and I'm your servant tell me what to do
now it's 12:00 it's the time of noon
prayer let me get ready for the prayer
of no this I mean for some people it's
hard to to to get to this state but we
see it every day the man will come honey
whatever you want for me or the woman
say I'll do anything for him or my boss
Yes master yes sir yes sir yes sir and
he brings him coffee sir whatever you
need yes what can you I do for you what
can I do for we should have this this
this enthusiasm for the one who gave us
Absolut more than you can that's what we
do Allah wants us to pray at 6:00 in the
morning we pray at 6:00 in the morning
Allah wants us to fast in Ramadan we
fast in Ramadan we just full submission
to him because this submission is a
translation of the love that we have for
Almighty Allah he doesn't need these
prayers this is for our better
development this is for this is how to
be good person because when we follow
the commands of Allah subh through the
manual that he sent us which is the Holy
Quran we are doing the things that teach
us how to deal with the Quran and how to
deal with the people around you how to
deal with your parents how to deal with
your husband how much money for example
if you like The inher Inheritance should
go to the child whether he is a male or
a female how much money should be given
to your parent after you die how much
every aspect of life every detail you
every detail it's like the manual you
get in and you're in the car and okay it
tells you how
to fix without this manual and you don't
have knowledge you cannot run it yeah so
this is exactly what we need we need
this detailed manual which is the Quran
and the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam which he give us the
tips how to act in this life and again
and again again so you see now some few
teeth uh that are in this to that open
Paradise it's uh seeking knowledge about
Almighty Allah knowing that there is no
deity to be worshiped followed or obeyed
except Almighty Allah knowing that Allah
subhana T had messengered and the last
messenger was Muhammad peace be upon him
you when you know Allah subhah wa ta'ala
you need to after that the natural
response when you know all these
qualities about allmighty Allah you love
him and after that this love should be
translated into obedience and this
obedience and this submission is the
essence of this great religion Islam
thank you very much
God willing we'll see you again on the
show thank you and if you liked what the
she Dr Mandu had to present here today
he has his own section we've done some
more shows with him at the Deens
show.com you can read a little bit more
about him and the key to Paradise first
a negation you're not God I'm not God
Jesus is not God Jesus prayed to God
Muhammad prayed to God Moses All The
Messengers they prayed to God don't be a
slave to society and to the fashion and
to everything out there be a slave be
committed to pleasing the one who
created you so all these false deities
all these false ideas brace this from
your head from your system ask the one
who created you who gave you life and
give you death to make things clear to
guide you he's the most loving he's the
most merciful and he knows what's best
for you and he wants what's best for you
