Salam alaykum
allum back again on the dean show my
pleasure to be back all right thank you
very much my pleasure people can read
about you at the Deens show.com you have
your own private section is that right
that's right has your picture there and
they click on the picture and your bio
is there and the show that we did
purpose of life that's a crucial
question but another question is people
are like you know what religions are all
the same they're man-made
I'll just do my own thing how does one
differentiate the true way of life if
one has already acknowledged what's in
his very nature that there's a Creator
but now you have all these different
isms these different ways how do you
differentiate what is the true way the
true way to success happiness peace and
the pleasure of the creator of the
heavens and earth talk to us please well
if we're to find the true
way we have to believe of course that
this true way must have come from
God so
if it's coming from
God it must have what we call a
scriptural basis there should be a
scripture there and then that scripture
should be one in which there is no doubt
no doubt no doubt about the authenticity
of its text its
origin
the protection of that text from any
change or
modification so that we know what is in
our hands what was what was revealed mhm
then we know we have a religion whose
basis whose Foundation is solid
otherwise if the document that is
claimed to be the origin is something
which they've got so many different
manuscripts of and no two manuscripts
agree with each other like the gospels
for example there over 5,000 manuscripts
no two manuscripts agree in all details
with each other and at present we have
something like 5,500 manuscripts in
Greek of the new testament which is a
lot for an ancient book it's far more
than any other ancient book The problem
is most of these copies are hundreds and
hundreds of years after the originals
and all of them have differences in them
uh so that the scribes who were copying
these manuscripts changed the text that
they were copying uh sometimes by
accident I mean sometimes they just made
mistakes they were sleepy or incompetent
or whatever but sometimes it looks like
scribes actually thought the text should
say something other than it did and then
they so they would change the text so
then which one's right how do you figure
it out yeah you know or the Gita or the
you know scriptures of the Hindus and
others you know when they were written
they have no idea bits and pieces here
and there you know it's of Uncertain
origin who wrote they don't
know clouded clouded in in in confusion
and uncertainty yeah so when you have
text like that I mean even the the Old
Testament which maybe a little more
accurate and more solid than the New
Testament writings but even that the
scholars scriptural criticism have shown
contradictions that exist in it uh some
places it looks like it's a manipulation
of the text where where the author wants
to change where where the Scribe wants
to change what the author said I mean in
many cases it may be that the Scribe
thought this is what the author really
meant and so he changed it but uh but
sometimes the the text gets changed to
say just the opposite of what it
originally said and so uh that's that
that can be a little bit troubling yeah
different documents which are being used
stories which are being repeated in you
know different ways and all kinds of
doubts there we have doubts so we can
distinguish we just have to put the the
basic scriptures on the table and say
like which one we can be 100% sure about
and that's the
Quran the evidence is there speaks for
itself so it can't Happ that is external
yeah that's from an external perspective
yeah then
internally what does that text contain
yeah no is that text if it's from God it
should contain accurate information it
shouldn't have fallacies and you know U
contradictions with modern science and
these kinds of
things when you pick up the other text
you read in there maybe you might find
some interesting things here and there
but there's a lot of old wives tales
which don't agree with what we know
about science today yeah whereas when
you go in the Quran you go from chapter
to chapter when you look at scientific
things which are talked about in the
Quran they match modern scientific
theory so much so that when the verses
were shown to uh Dr Keith Moore who WR
wrote the book on embryology yeah right
the book used in all of the medical
colleges around the world they showed
him these verses from the Quran which
described the development of the fetus
at a time when it's not visible to the
naked
eye he
said Muhammad could not have known these
facts about human development in the 7th
Century because most of them were not
discovered until the 20th century that
God transmitted through Muhammad bits of
his knowledge that we have only
discovered for ourselves in recent
times
1,400 years ago when the world was
immersed in darkness the Quran was
revealed which brought light to a baguer
world and whereas the earlier books came
with many scientific mistakes due to the
hand of man having delved into them the
Quran had none of these
contradictions the world thought there
could be no reconciliation between
religion and science but the Quran
mentioned many scientific facts in great
detail like how a human being developed
in the mother's womb and described other
scientific facts which Amaze the world's
renowned scientists and scientific
community
this could not have come from
Muhammad so they said then where did it
come
from it must have come from God no doubt
not possible to describe what is there
when the microscope wasn't developed
until many centuries after him yeah this
is the evidence these are concrete bits
and pieces of evidence that's internal
you have external and you have internal
and then the overall message which is
being
taught I mean it's not a whole bunch of
fairy tales wild fantastic Tales but
things which seem to match the realities
of this life you read the Quran this is
God talking to you directly so now so a
person doesn't have to go deep into
let's say Buddhism Christianity or any
kind of Hindu religion or all Sikhism
now at the face of it so they're looking
for contradictions mistakes things that
aren't rational what are they actually
looking for these are some of the things
that you mentioned that it has to be the
message has to be Lucid clear something
that is basically not flawed by man and
then if it is leave it alone go to the
next does Islam encourage that you look
at these different ways and you'll come
to realization if you're sincere and
you're asking the Creator to guide you
that you'll eventually end up back to
this way the way of all the prophet
Islam if a person is
sincere God is going to guide them yeah
that's for sure if they're sincere but
they have to be ready to act then on the
knowledge that they get from this
problem is that a lot of people may come
and realize yes the truth is there with
Islam yeah but to take that on what is
involved in in becoming a Muslim creates
such problems in families you know how
parents are going to react how the wife
and the kids and you know or the husband
and the the kids and how are they going
to react how am I going to deal with all
of this some people say hey too much
that's the real I like what you have
yeah it makes sense it's very good but
I'm just not ready to deal with the
consequences consequences and that's sad
because one cannot afford once you seek
the truth you know as it's mentioned in
the Bible that the truth is going to set
you free it's true set you free from
ignorance bring you to the realization
of the true God so once you're there for
you to turn aside and say well because
of people I can't deal with this that's
a big mistake that is the most serious
possible mistake that you can make in
your life to have known the truth in its
Clarity with certainty and turned
away what can we say after that yeah so
does it seem like these other religions
ways are just things because the inside
of a person is searching yearning for
something so this is convenient now the
other religions you can just modify them
to your way it can just you can uh put
it in and it doesn't have to
inconvenience you or something but it's
it's easy yeah yeah you know it doesn't
require that much commitment you know
you can do it once a week or you know
when you feel like you know it's it's
it's it's uh they say fast food like
fast food you know so it's not it's not
a real change where to become a Muslim
requires
major
change it requires taking on a
commitment
247 247 yeah there's no part-time Muslim
I mean of course there are people who
might do Islam part time but that's not
real Islam Real Islam requires 24/7
commitment MH there's no time when you
take a vacation from Islam yeah
