the dean show peace be with you welcome
to the dean show another exciting
episode now did you know that this man
that we're going to be discussing today
he is the man who is rated the number
one influential human beings in history
1935 the Supreme Court of America
honored him as one of the greatest law
lawgivers and so many others great
intellectuals great historians people
academics have praised him for all of
his wonderful accomplishments but now
there are also many people in his name
who do opposite to his teachings so we
want to find out how would he react to
those people now who insulted him who
belittled him who did all sorts of harm
physical and verbal and how we as
Muslims
for the one that's so dear to our heart
we don't worship him as a God but he was
sent by God to deliver the message of
God just like Jesus Abraham MOS and all
the other Messengers calling people to
worship the Creator not the creation and
he was the best example for mankind
that's right we're going to be talking
about his life and his example and how
we should emulate him in the best of
ways and how we should react to some of
these craziness that's out there
slandering him when we come back here on
the dean show don't go anywhere this is
the de the de
this is the
the is
the this is
the this is the D this is

[Music]
the
the welcome back to the dean show peace
be with
youum how are you doing alhamdulillah
alhamdulillah thank you for being with
us here on the dean show well thank you
for having me here uh now we opened up
many people don't know they don't know
about the greatest man when we say are
we exaggerating now that when we talk
about Muhammad peace be upon them I mean
this doesn't take away from Jesus Moses
and all the other great men who are
messengers by God many people don't know
that he was ranked one of the most
influential men in history and all of
these other fascinating wonderful things
that really soften the heart when you
learn about him absolutely
uh uh well first of all Allah subhana wa
ta'ala has sent him
as Mercy to all that exists and this
title was only given to Prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him uh obviously all the
previous prophets they came with a
similar message of of worshiping of one
God and staying away from things that
are uh that exploit people injustices
corruption to stay away from that and to
uh call towards the worship of one God
so he par Excellence uh being the final
of God Messenger to humanity uh the
message he has come with is just that
message of the worship the Creator not
the creation yeah now someone says our
brothers in humanity who we want the
best for we got love for all of mankind
that's why we're sharing this message so
our our our fellow Christians out there
said no no no how you going to compare
Muhammad to Jesus when Jesus said for
God so loved the world whoever believes
in him shall have eternal life right and
you don't have uh this with with you
have all this love coming from Jesus but
you got all of this this this um
violence coming with Muhammad how would
you answer this yeah because they don't
really know anybody who says that really
have not read even a page on the life of
prophet Muhammad uh when you look back
at his life uh he suffered tremendously
uh just like Jesus peace be upon him he
also suffered tremendously and attempts
were made to assassinate them similarly
in the time of the Prophet sallam um as
this message of God is being delivered
to humanity there are many people who
become uh uh you know very much against
this message of Peace this message of
Justice this message of Harmony because
because it is through corruption people
get to do what they want to do and how
they want to do and so Prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him went through a lot of
sacrifice um a lot of moments when
people have even attempted to to kill
him groups as well as individuals and uh
we have seen his remarkable uh way of
dealing with them uh isn't it true that
you you're a scholar in Islam isn't it
true and it's not sugarcoat anything
that if you say look that I don't like
Jesus let alone I don't love him I don't
believe in him that as a Muslim you will
go to the Hellfire absolutely I mean
Jesus is part of our faith and I always
tell our Muslim our uh Christian uh
brethren in faith that apart from
Christians Muslims hold a very high
status and belief and love for Jesus
peace be upon him so without respecting
him without believing that he is a
messenger of God we cannot be an upright
Muslim now if you contrast his light
Jesus peace be upon him uh before we go
to Muhammad peace and blessing be upon
him that when this they quote this verse
for God so loved the world that he sent
we believe that Jesus was sent can we
interpret this that for God so Lov the
world that he sent prophets and
Messengers to guide Humanity with yeah
absolutely because um in our
scriptures um Allah says it very clearly
in Al Quran uh
and this short uh chapter uh is entitled
the chapter ofas or sincerity that say
he Allah is one he is the absolute uh he
begets not nor is he begotten and
nothing is comparable unto Allah so this
was when some people asked the prophet
Sall wasallam what is the G gen ology of
of Allah that Allah has children because
in that time in the time of the Prophet
peace be upon him the quray used to say
the Angels were the daughters of Allah
so there were people who were placing
daughters to Allah and again Allah uh
you know address that in Quran and in
this particular Surah it tells you that
Allah is unique he has no son he has no
daughter he is the Creator and
everything else is creation including
Jesus peace be upon him he's a created
being and so we respect that we respect
that he is the messenger of God he came
with the truth uh he came and
established the truth and so Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him was the final
messenger of God that he came uh with
that final message to humanity what
about the person says what about all
this violence every time I turn on CNN
there's some Muslim out there and he's
representing Muhammad allegedly and now
all of this negative stereotype is being
associated with Islam yes uh a lot of
things that we see um in the name of
Islam actually in fact are something
else quoted with the name of Islam
because if we look back at the life of
prophet Muhammad peace be upon him we
will see that uh there is no there many
times people let us take for example
Omar but before he became a Muslim he
was on the verge of he was on his way to
kill the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam and uh on his way he met this
uh other companion who was hiding his
Islam his name was Nim and he said that
okay I where are you going oh Omar he
said I'm going to finish off this man
once and for all and he meant Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him and so after
that uh no said trying to Sid track him
not to go there he said why don't you go
and take care of your sister and your
brother and they have become Muslim and
we know this story that when he went
there and he saw passages of the Quran
so like many people they have uh not
seen the Quran uh for many PE Muslims
they have not read the life of the
Prophet Sall wasallam so they pick up
verses they pick up situations they have
their own agenda tie all together they
do this violence and Islam get all the
blame so that has nothing to do you got
to judge Islam by actions by not the
actions of Muslims but by the actual
text and we have to interpret it not
according to our our Des desires
absolutely the texts are within a
context the text has historical context
it has over the ages great Scholars have
given interpretations to them and none
of these have called for violence or to
use violent means as a way of
establishing our faith Charlie HBO I'm
going to ask you about this I'm going to
ask you about the hysteria usually when
this uh messenger who we love dearly has
insulted how we should react to it more

[Music]
below welcome back to the dean show we
are talking about the most influential
man in history and this is the greatest
man to ever walk to earth now this has
been stated in the book written by
Michael H Hart and uh many others uh we
we talked about academics historians who
really sincerely looked at his life and
they had the utmost wonderful things to
say about him but now you had mentioned
that most Muslims they don't even read
or study his history so can you
elaborate on that when when you're
ignorant now the emotions take charge so
now uh you can't defend him in an
academic in a polite way you end up
doing more harm harm in an emotional way
and that is exactly what is happening
and I think some uh people who study the
uh Muslim World by and large their
behavior they see that uh you say
something and there is no intellectual
discussion on that there is a lot of
emotional outbursts that go in contrary
to what prophet Muhammad peace be upon
him has brought and so when uh
situations s such as Charlie hebo when
he uh you know did this cartoon and the
satire about the prophet Muhammad peace
be upon him that should be uh an
opportunity for the Muslim world to
become engaged in a dialogue and to let
the world know who is Muhammad peace be
upon Him obviously we are all hurt
intellectual or non-intellectual uh
anybody who insults your creator anybody
who insults a prophet of God even if
they insult Jesus peace be upon him we
feel hurt even they insult Moses peace
be upon him we feel Hur they insult
Muhammad peace be upon him we feel Hur
this is a Believer must not feel Joy
when somebody insults any of the
prophets of Allah let alone the best of
all the human being Muhammad peace be
upon him so this 1.8 billion Muslims you
feel hurt when this happens but I see it
and I think uh there is enough evidence
from the S of the Prophet sallam that
when people come to harm him he took the
opportunity to engage them them in the
message not in their action and so this
opportunity to engage in the message is
what we must do and so for example when
Omar IBN wahab uh he left Makkah and he
and safwan who were not yet Muslims at
that time this was just after the battle
of bad they had a private conversation
and Omar said to safwan you know what if
I had the means of taking care of my
debt and my raising my children you know
I would have left the behind and I would
have gone and and killed Muhammad peace
be upon him safan who was a rich guy at
that time said look don't worry I'll
take care of your dad I take care of
your children you go and do what you
have to do and so the two of them alone
knew this plot he did not even tell his
wife all he said you're going to hear
big news this is a paid assassin now
this is a paid assassin and he knew that
he was going to get killed by doing that
because he's now going to Medina where
the Prophet is now the leader so you are
doing a a an assassination to the leader
of you know a people and so he went
there and as soon as the prophet Sall
wasallam saw him he said why why have
you come omay he said well you know I
come here because my son um is a
prisoner of war I've come to Ransom him
and Allah had revealed to him while omay
was on his way that he is coming to kill
you and he has a sword poison sword so
even if it were to touch the prophet s
wasallam he would have died if not from
the womb but from the poison and so the
the prophet peace be upon him said so
what about the sword and so he said oh
this sword you know it didn't do us any
good and better so Prophet say said tell
me why have you come you have come
because you and safwan had a a
discussion at the cabba that you were
going to come and kill me and he's going
to take care of you and your family and
uh your deaths and so forth and right
away he said I have to testify that no
one is worthy of worship but Allah and
that you are the messenger of Allah
nobody knew that not even my wife knew
that and this is the sword oh prophet of
Allah I have come to kill you now under
any uh law of modern time whether it's
Geneva Convention or or or Oso
convention or the law of the land
anybody who goes with the intention with
the tool with the purpose of assass
assassinating the leader or the
president of a country even if you were
to give him the death penalty you would
have been Justified but prophet did not
give him the death penalty he give him
what will liberate him in this world and
Hereafter he give him Islam there are so
many examples of that and there are many
example oh example falah ibar this was
another one he was going this is after
fat makah which after gaining Victory
now he was going when the prophet was
going around the Caba doing ta around
the Caba he was going to plunge a dagger
behind him from behind him and he knew
obviously I'm going to be killed and
when he was near to reach the prophet
Prophet turned around and said are you
fala he said yes subh Allah and Prophet
just put his hand and said may Allah may
Allah bring Islam to your heart so what
I am seeing here is that people and
Nations and tribes all those who went to
kill the prophet Salli wasallam he gave
them what was better for them he gave
them Islam he did not emotionally said
okay this man is coming to kill me he's
uh uh you know evil let's get rid of him
no he gave them the message of Islam the
message of Peace what do you say to our
brothers in humanity when they turn on
the TV and again they see all of this
you know hysteria revolved around Islam
and they say look you know they see uh
Isis being portrayed 247 on the TV like
it's representing the majority of
Muslims so they think they say look uh
you guys are the silent minority they
are the the the vast majority you know
they flip it around and now they think
that that's representation of Islam no
absolutely not as a matter of fact we
have been saying from the very beginning
whether something happened to the
prophet or not whether a violence takes
place or not we are saying that Islam is
not a violent religion so when violence
comes on we are saying that look back at
these people they're doing something
which is not Islamic which is not which
does not represent the vast majority of
Muslim this is a minority of a minority
unfortunately these are the people who
get the wide uh public izing and so the
world sees them they don't see the vast
majority who are struggling to uh
counteract this kind of violent
expression or manifestation of is or in
the name of Islam so for for a person
who sees how would you now you're you're
a spiritual leader in the community when
someone does see because holding a
balance when you see a lot of injustices
we we would say that Muslims are the
most oppressed people now in the world
today can you can we can we rightfully
say that absolutely I mean if you look
back at all the Muslim uh the wars in
the Muslim country and and leaders and
so forth oppression that goes upon them
yes there but again it does not call for
for any violent means of changing what
could have been more oppressive which
society could have been more unjust and
and oppressive than the mecan society
for which the prophet s wasallam had
come and 13 years he spent with them and
he never waged any war against them and
when he came to Medina he did not most
of these battles that that were fought
were instigated by the mckans themselves
it was not that okay let's go and fight
them now it is they did not stop coming
after them even after expelling them
from Mecca we're going to take a break
and we're going to talk more about the
proper channels to take to express some
of your emotions when we come back here
on the dean show don't go anywhere
please subscribe to the dean show follow

[Music]
below back here on the dean show so
before I went to break we went to break
uh the right course of action because
it's natural now you see a lot of the
oppression you see a lot of your
brothers I mean we are uh Brothers in
humanity but those also who submit to
the Creator not to Creation those who
follow the way of Jesus Moses Abraham
who were Muslims we now see them
suffering in other parts of the world
and some of the young naive you know
they see this and they want to they
think that now I'm going to go and do
some good I'm going to go fly across the
land you know uh um getting some some
some uh War over there and whatnot and
instead of taking some proper channels
what course of action because here
obviously you have the right to speak
you know to go ahead and to voice your
concern to uh take you know the proper
means tell us what are some of those
proper means the proper course of action
besides violent actions and you know uh
hurting innocent men women or children
which Islam is opposed to what proper
course of action can we take yes well I
would I would say first and foremost uh
religious
leaders uh in America and around the
world they need to give the right
message to the younger
generation and that message is that it's
a message of Engagement using the
opportunity to engage in dialogue in
talking to people as the prophet have
engaged in dialogue in individuals
in uh whole tribes and a whole nation uh
so we are not we have cut off this
process of presenting Islam in an
intellectual and in a peaceful way so
Scholars need to give that message it's
not a message of War it's not the
message of violence it's not a me
message of treachery and let alone these
young people who who uh you know have
passion for whatever they think they can
now change the world without an without
any uh uh motive when you are teenage
years you feel like you can conquer the
world I mean we've all passed through
that at one point in or another whether
you think you look the best in the whole
village you're the best you're the most
macho guy whatever it is you always felt
that the whole world is is is you can
you can actually change this whole world
and so that energy needs to be channeled
and I'll give you a a good example when
uh also the conquest of
mecah
B began obviously he was chosen by the
prophet to stand on the Caba and to give
the first aan and there were some young
men who start chuckling as said you know
look he is giving the aan basically like
as if an Abyssinian a former Abyssinian
slave cannot have that position and so
this message came to the prophet and he
called these young men and said to one
of them you said so so so well they were
afraid they said yes we said so he said
do you have a good voice let me hear
your voice and he taught him the aan and
then he said okay now you go and call
the aan so turning that energy into
something that is positive that's
something that will benefit that is what
our our youths need to do secondly our
youths need to take time off and to
study the s from the original sources
and yes they are translated books there
are books in English and I'm sure
several languages you have authentic
books of the biography of the Prophet
sallam they need to study every aspect
uh of that thirdly I think parents also
uh need to sit with children and to tell
if they are inclined into any form of
extreme thoughts extreme belief extreme
actions they need to sit with them and
say this is not the way forward rather
this is counterproductive or counter
Islam this is against Islamic uh
teachings so from the from the
pulpit of the preachers to the home to
the child then these things are to be uh
channeled in the positive in the right
direction and when we see violent things
we H equally we have to speak out
against them so that they would see that
this is not normal and this is not
correct so tell us I want to just focus
on this for for a minute when we see the
Treaty of hudia the Muslims were about
1400 is this correct yes when the peace
now treaty was signed how much time was
it from there until the conquest of
Mecca and we see a jump a dramatic jump
from 14400 to plus 10,000 is this where
the daah was open that you can go ahead
and share this message uh yes exactly so
the the the Treaty of
hudia um to the conquest of mecah maybe
we are talking about less than two years
less than two years Islam multiplied 10
folds or more not to the sword now not
to the sword this is time this is dawa
because full force dawa full force dawa
sharing and this is the first time if
you look back at the S of the Prophet
sallam if you talk about Freedom this
will be that moment of freedom because
all the other uh episode in his life
anything anytime he went to another
tribe it was The Quay that came and said
no you can't do this no this is our
tribe this is our so it was always
something stopping them so within two
years of Freedom no fighting Islam
multiplied 10 folds so then the question
is did the any battle helped to promote
Islam I mean it was more in defense yes
but if you really want to promote this
message of Peace we have to take the the
path that we're there is no violence
there is no treachery there is no
extremism with the freedom to express
yourself and to invite Humanity to this
religion of peace I think that is what I
would my message to our youth now tell
us a little about your organization also
many people they see this word hear this
word Sharia you're actually the chairman
of the Sharia committee on ikna uh tell
us uh what this word means and what a
little bit about your information uh
your organization and what you do in the
next uh we got one minute left yeah so
Sharia we have had uh as a matter of
fact two three years ago we've had a
complete convention on the theme
understanding uh uh freedom of religion
understanding Sharia so Sharia is uh
basically the uh way that God so intend
for the human being to live his life
through that Divine guidance um this
year uh our convention nna Mass
convention is in May in the uh Memorial
Weekend in Baltimore and we are going to
Baltimore and you know Baltimore right
now is uh going through this phase of
again challenging Injustice but you
cannot do another Injustice while
removing an injustice so it will be very
good that we're going to see what plays
out in another three weeks and our theme
of this convention is simply Muhammad
peace be upon him and we think it is not
we don't wait for something to happen as
Muslims it is our responsibility abity
to invite people to the message of
Muhammad peace be upon him and to know
who is this person let alone when
something happens like from January to
now or from last year to now yes this is
the opportunity that we have again
intellectually to dialogue and to
present Muhammad peace be upon him as he
ought to be presented a man of peace and
the most influential human being that
ever wed the face of this Earth thank
you so much we started with that peace
we end with the peace and insh God
willing I'll see you again sometime soon
on the show you and thank you so much
for tuning in sh you heard this word and
you know that Jesus peace be upon them
Moses they were practicing Sharia this
is divine Guidance the ten commands
that's Sharia now you hear some of these
words you know in Arabic but Jesus spoke
Aramaic that's right they didn't speak
English so now but when you get it
translated you're like okay that makes
sense and for all those out there that
now they just go off emotion now we as
Muslims we have to do things the proper
way take the right course of action we
heard some wonderful examples from our
guest today so get
informed about the greatest man whoever
walked the Earth and he was sent for you
as a Mercy to Mankind read about him
look at the message that he brought I
guarantee you it will resonate with your
heart but put all of this Prejudice all
of these negative emotions to decide and
realize there is a purpose to life and
he's delivering it that's right from the
one who created life the creat of the
heavens and earth the one that Jesus
called you to worship Jesus never said
worship himself or anything in creation
but he came with the same message as all
the prophets and Muhammad just being the
last of them get to know this man and
