the this is the is
the this is
the this is the dean
show assalam
alaykum how are you sh alhamdulillah
alhamdulillah you're going to be running
for president
soon maybe I'll be running from the
president but but uh I was listening as
you were introducing the program just
before I came out and you were
mentioning about the what we'd covered
in the past and I feel like we've really
done a disservice to our audience if we
tell them that we really covered it cuz
we didn't cover in depth on anything not
really yeah there is so much to say and
I hope that they'll get a chance to
review some of the previous programs but
also to go to our website it's called
www.at islam.com there's a section there
for the Casas salomia stories of the
prophets that was done in India for the
children we had a big children's project
over there to help them to better
understand we wanted the children of
India to know more about the profits and
then we televised it and then made
program copies and they're free anybody
can go there
www.atl.com there's a menu on the left
of the page it drops down go to the
bottom it said list all bottom of that
page and you can see I think 16 episodes
out of the 52 episodes we did now when
we talk about these prophets m one of
the things that I've been trying to
stress in our few episodes that we've
done here is that it's not so much
important to know the chronological
order to know particular dates it's not
going to be like a history test
but it needs to be that we understand
who are these guys yes are they really
prophets because there are some who have
claimed to be prophets who aren't and
there are people who said that Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon Him is not the
prophet that he claimed to be and then
there are others that say yeah they they
believe he's a prophet but they also
accept some other people who will will
say that weren't for instance there was
one uh in more recent uh decades by the
name of Rashid Khalifa claimed to be a
prophet in Arizona who was he now Rashid
Khalifa what religion was he preaching
or he from Egypt he was a muslim okay
Rashid Khalifa he claimed to be a
prophet yeah he established something in
a group today called submitters
International yes we we'll disagree with
that that he was a prophet because we
will say that that Muhammad is the last
and final messenger and Prophet The Last
of theia and the last of the RS this was
a
Hoster I think that's too far to go to
that extent because I don't know what
delusion he may have had and and but as
far as the Criterion this is for us we
measure everything up with a benchmark a
Criterion and and without being too hard
on anybody but another one would be
gulam Ahmed about 100 years ago from
kadan India Elijah Muhammad uh Elijah
Muhammad definitely he was in about 1930
1931 he also claimed to be a Prophet
Joseph Smith Joseph Smith claimed to be
a prophet about 150 years ago coming
from New England and going around to I
think about Indiana is where he was
killed and then they considered him to
be a prophet but we will use a benchmark
or Criterion and say that if somebody is
going to be a prophet these are the
things that they would have to measure
tell us what is that well first of all
they're uh they have to claim to be one
okay so and these that we talked about
all did claim that another would be that
their character would be impeccable they
would have an excellent character
now they could be given to making
mistakes along the way you know anybody
could make a mistake we mentioned Moses
killed somebody hid the man with one hit
and but he killed him might have broke
his neck I don't know but he killed him
unintentionally he intentionally hit him
yeah but he obviously didn't mean to
kill him yeah and then there was the
case of Abraham lying to the people
about being a brother to his wife when
actually that's not his sister it's his
wife
and again we could use rationalization
well we're all brothers and sisters in
humanity and they were brothers and
sisters in faith or something like that
but uh this would be a mistake but not
out of character of a prophet because
they can make those kind of mistakes
because they are after all human they
have to eat drink go to the bathroom
sleep those are all characteristics of
prophets because they're humans and you
have to be a human to be a prophet mhm
so if somebody came to you and said well
this guy he doesn't eat he doesn't sleep
and and he floats in the air and all
these kinds of things well that's
probably a genie yeah a Jin but uh it is
not a real Prophet cuz he has to be from
us he has to relate to us in our own not
only our own uh language but also in our
own culture in our own uh Traditions
that we can see what he's saying is good
and what's bad and we can take his word
for it and believe him how could someone
do an intelligent analysis
to see that because I've heard some
people try to put the prophet the last
and final mtion of Prophet Muhammad in
the same category as someone like Joseph
Smith or some of these imposters that
came along well I will let and I'll let
the viewer do that for themselves and
tell you that in order to be from
almighty God they do need to have some
kind of identification like a
badge it's a good idea a good badge in
the badge or identification of a
prophet especially when that's a rasul
we talk talked about special prophets
the above A Cut Above their average
Prophet these are the ones that come
with an actual message cancelling
anything that might have been corrupted
prior to that yeah for instance Ten
Commandments are clear but there were a
lot of other Commandments that came
along too that if you look at you may
question why maybe it was indicative of
the time that they were there uh
receiving it maybe it's something that
they come up with themselves and added
to it but for you and I for instance we
have no problem
working on Saturdays mhm whereas the
Jewish faith they don't allow that uh
for the Christians they don't they're
not supposed to do any work on Sunday
well we don't have a problem with that
either Friday is our day and we're able
to work and and play and do what we want
on Friday except for that one hour or so
that we're supposed to be sitting there
listening to the Juma Salah that we have
an obligation for and so this is how
things might become updated if you will
if you don't mind to use
that but with each of the real prophets
that came their signs were clear and
they were observed by trustworthy people
who communic communicated it to their
people M and they should be known to you
who they are and where it comes from now
today we can easily verify Jesus we can
easily verify Solomon and David and
Moses and Abraham and Adam clearly and
without any doubt in our minds as
Muslims because they're mentioned in the
Quran mhm but if somebody wants to come
up with something other than that they
would have to have a proof stronger than
the Quran so our Benchmark is going to
be the Quran itself for us the Quran is
the final word not just the final word
as in a conversation that's my word
that's my final word but also it's the
final word of Allah he's not going to
send anymore and he said so Allah has
made it clear he's not going to send it
anything else and he doesn't need to cuz
we have it why do you need another
Revelation when you got the Quran right
there what's the matter you don't want
to take time to learn Arabic that's your
problem but it's clear and it's there
Quran is there mhm and it hasn't
changed now there are those who've tried
and tried to insist that it's been
changed this and that they made websites
but anybody who's done even a cursory uh
study of the subject has to come to the
conclusion that no they're wrong they're
things that they are trying to suggest
they haven't researched it themselves
they just took it from somebody else and
when somebody's a real scholar come and
say no you look read it in Arabic and
you can see so the Quran is very much
verifying Jesus Christ peace be upon him
as the Messiah he is the Christ he is
the one who was to come and lead the
Jews but what the Jews at the time
didn't understand the children of Israel
didn't understand that he would be here
twice he came he left and he will be
back this is known to us as Muslims
clearly that Jesus peace be upon him yes
he was here and did walk with the people
he taught a message and then he was
pulled up to God these were the law and
he'll be back in the last day we're the
only other religion to believe the
Christians believe that and we believe
that who else can make such a claim
don't the going off on a tangent here
don't the Jews they're expecting a
messiah even to this day they're still
expecting when Jesus returns some of the
Jews will recognize him as the Messiah
and they'll accept that some Christians
will recognize him some Muslims
different people will recogniz him now
they talk about this Messiah coming that
you know there'll be peace that the lamb
will lay down with the the LI Happ but
this is the same things that we have in
our teaching so that's the Messiah we're
we're talking about Jesus peace yet
because it will it will come at a time
of War yeah and when he comes down there
will be one here called the Antichrist
or the M yeah that's the Arabic mess
from Messiah deal false Messiah the liar
now you'll see a lot of crookedness what
I mean is ambiguity in a lot of the
previous scriptures because we know we
don't have the originals but everything
if you study it it starts to make sense
because you see consistency of the same
message and the consistency of the
message where it is is consistent is
this is important because I've measured
that up to the Quran and I found there's
no contradiction between Quran and Bible
except where the Bible is contradicting
itself and in those places it does
contradict itself against the Quran but
the Quran has no
inconsistency no contradiction in it and
those who try to promote that and say
that yes there is it's this it's that
and all you you bring them and sit with
them and talk with them and you'll find
they will run away as soon as you start
to show what about this what about that
do you know the Arabic language did you
read it in Arabic do you know what it is
said about that and they will try to
come with weak or fabricated Hadith and
claim all this stuff but the Quran has
never ever ever been successfully
challenged by anyone tell us because
this is the last show on this series and
we're talking about the last and final
messeng the prophet Muhammad can you
talk about when the Revelation came how
this actually happened he was in the
mountain and he was meditating can you
talk about this well first of all it is
important to have I think a complete
program for that yeah and we don't have
time to end this series so let us just
stay General on on the prophets
themselves without getting too deep but
the same angel that came to Mary and
told her she was going to have a baby is
Gabriel and he's called jabriel in
Arabic jabel came to prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him just as he came to
other prophets in the past and ordered
him to recite and when he said a lot of
people in English they say read that's
wrong bad translation it's not bad it's
incorrect incorrect it's so it's recite
because it could be read but it doesn't
carry the proper connotation because it
would mean that the Gabriel didn't know
what he was supposed to be doing mhm
because Prophet Muhammad was illiterate
he never learned how to read or write
okay so why would he be ordering that he
was ordering
him recite because finally it comes what
shall I recite he tells him what to
recite actually and what he tells him to
recite forgive me for any mistake but
the translation more or less is saying
that recite in the name of your lord so
that's why when we recite we
say recite in the name of your lord who
created the human beings from an
alaka reciting your lord is so generous
and he taught human beings how to use a
pen it says man taught man how to use a
pen taught them what they didn't know we
said in the one of our first programs we
talked about Idris Enoch he's the one
who this is talking about that that
Allah taught him he was the first of the
people to learn to read and write hold
your thought there because I've heard an
argument someone said that he was choked
again going back to not knowing the
Arabic how talk about Prophet Muhammad
yeah I had a conversation I saw that on
the internet you saw that too what a
joke
now just go we don't want to go too
deeply into this but this is obviously
incorrect he wasn't choked first of all
I said we would have Criterion that we
would use yeah well I I will just say
prove what you said yeah that's the
Criterion when you have verified human
beings by
name and we know when they were born we
know when and where they died we know
people that knew them who also verifi
them so it's a network not some random
person that you just make up a name and
say this is John and Fred and George
yeah you know who's Fred who George who
we don't know we know who these people
are now we know very well who they are
so what are they saying in the Arabic
they say that the message came to him
and he was there in the cave in the
mountain of light he was fasting he was
fasting okay and what happens the angel
enters upon him and says to him
recite and he says I'm not a reciter
recite and each time he does squeeze him
squeezing him but it is said that the
the enthusiasm of the Angel who had been
waiting since the creation of Adam yeah
for this chance to finally get to see
him he was very excited it's like I was
excited I can't compare it to that but
kind of I got excited to see you so I
gave you a nice little yeah you did you
almost squeezed me you know the same
kind of grasp that you gave me hugging
me when we first started the show
sometime back you uh hugged me yeah and
uh it was gave that extra little
excitement so I squeezed you a little
bit Yeah so that kind of squeeze you
guys in martial arts need to be careful
you know
but for sure this is I think a chance
for people to realize when somebody
wants to disbelieve they will make up
they will lie they will repeat other
lies then they will take something from
somebody who's even a known liar rather
than to consider this because they don't
really want to believe in Allah yeah so
anyway setting that aside what makes a
person a false prophet well there is no
criteria to back him up was the
Criterion to back up for instance gulam
Ahmed there were many people that knew
him and heard him contradict himself we
know that there were people 100 years
ago who knew and heard and even the
British newspaper which Britain
controlled India at the time wrote him
up cuz then one of the last things he
declared I think it was in September of
uh 1907 or something like that he
declared that he was God mhm that was
his last statement because they found
him dead in his own toilet
he had what they call a mic denter or
something similar to it and he actually
fell into those were open toilets by the
way and he fell into it and drowned I
mean this
is and this is known how about this
Joseph Smith character you know I say
character like that because I have
respect for the the Mormon people
themselves and I don't wish to hurt
their feelings I'm sorry but
historically we do know that he was
killed and there were different reports
some said that he was shot and others
said that he was hung and then there was
one that even said that he was split
open and his inard taken out which is
very horrible but in any case he was
murdered yes and putting that aside
because prophets have been murdered mhm
so that might even cause me to say well
let's look a little bit closer but we
also know that he had business deals he
and he issued his own coinage or money
from those business deals even in Ohio
they still have records of his actual
signature yeah on those bills that he
signed out from his uh funding companies
that he put together and uh whatever
happened to those companies I'm not
blaming him or saying he was you know
but profits don't get into those kind of
deals and if you look deeper have you
looked it kind of gets weird that Jesus
was the brother of Lucifer and that all
the human beings
are going to be Gods demigods semi Goods
if they if you know what I'm talking a
real Prophet just weird teachings if he
comes if he's got to be coming with the
same message as Adam yeah so this is
nothing that the previous prophets
taught if you if it is show it to us
yeah okay so no proof so getting back I
didn't want to go off another thing is
the proof itself if you said well we
have a proof okay where is it well they
said it was gold tablets but they're now
in the ocean nobody knows where they are
okay then you don't have it any okay but
we have the living Miracle the Quran in
the beginning of the Book of Mormon it
says this is the one that I have at home
it said this is the 19 such and such
version replacing all the previous
versions and correcting all the
mistakes that statement
alone hey it's a red flag right here
yeah because the next one came out said
the same thing about that one and the
what what does the verbatim word of God
say this is a book where is no doubt
that's a it says deep statement actually
it didn't say it exactly like you said
it says it like this doesn't say it
says this is a book is not the way to
say it because that would be yes it says
uhhuh that is the book that is the book
that book with a law is the book wherein
there is no doubt yes a source of
guidance for those who are God-fearing
people now we're talking about the Quran
this is the very first words in chapter
two so it's not saying
this this is what it says that is the
book wherein there is no doubt a source
of guidance for those who are having
fear of their lord now it's important to
look at something here that when you
say this isn't not the one in your hand
that's right it is the recitation that
you're hearing
so Quran means recitation mhm Quran
literally means recitation what's
recited so what you just heard was Quran
yes and how you can't see it you can see
me but you can't see that see this is
exciting talk about talking about
because there's no confusion no
crookedness here not what you just said
when you open up This Book of Mormons
that this is a replacing don't I don't
need to attack anybody not to attack but
just to see when you see the truth
coming how it's just clear it's straight
noig Jehovah's Witness they also have
their own translation the Bible and
their own beliefs what I say is that
when you start going after this to
pinpoint one or the other these
so-called Prophets You Will alienate
yourself in front of these other people
for no reason there's no benefit why
don't we just talk about what we have
okay and let the people come to their
own conclusion tell us before there's a
couple more points before we come to an
end another argument that I've heard is
that when the the prophet peace be upon
the last of fin mer Prophet Muhammad
when he had this re Revelation he didn't
know if it was from uh who it was from
he ran back scared to his wife how do
you refute this you've heard this
argument well actually he said it
himself so let's let's take what he said
he said that he has this experience that
the angel Gabriel came to him mhm and
repeated it three times to him to recite
and told him what to recite and then
when
he he was upset of course because I mean
how would you feel if you were in a cave
in a mountain in the night time cuz that
would happened in the night time and
somebody comes in there and you know
startles you and starts talking to you
in your language in a beautiful way and
then they just like disappear well what
would you think M so when he came back
he was thinking about this and he sat
down he told his wife cover me up cover
me
up and she's saying what's going on he
said just cover me up so he was cold
this could be from the night might or
could be shuttering from The
Experience she wrapped him up and then
after a while he was talking to her like
a man talks to his wife he very openly
and say what's in your mind and he said
I'm wondering if I'm nuts because look
this is what happened to me what do you
say I think any normal person would
think he's nuts well I don't know what
normal is but cuz there's no other way
to expl this unique experience that's a
unique experience and
so she is listening to what he's saying
yes and she tells him that no I don't
think that there's in that you're nuts
or anything because I know you to be for
15 years that that they were married at
that time they've been married 15 years
she said she never heard him tell a lie
this amazing in 15 years wow in a in a
place in those days that lying was
common he never told a lie and she said
and he was good to bring the families
together he was also known as
trustworthy he was also known as the uh
Advocate champion of the downtrodden and
that kind of thing very generous and
kind and so why would uh God send some
kind of mixed up thoughts to him mhm and
she said I believe your message which
was to know that there's only one God
mhm so this is mentioned yes she says I
believe there is only one God and we
should worship him and not these statues
because Arabia was filled up with these
false Notions superstitions and
incorrect worship at that time so she
said and confirmed that yes I believe
there's only one God and you're his
messenger and by her doing so she
becomes the very first Muslim and this
argument that someone might bring up is
just very weak if you look at it the way
you just explain it very eloquently I
mean any rational person can see well
when you start mentioning like being
choked another one is to say he had
epileptic seizure well I have I just
received this week's uh news week and
was reminded of an article that I read
sometime back about uh epilepsy mhm and
epilepsy it you read the all of the
signs of epilepsy are nothing that was
ever described about Prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him yeah this was just
something attached to it but talk to
people that have it one in 10 people in
the United States have epilepsy so it's
not going to be that hard for you to
find somebody and ask them you you know
is did this happen did that happen and
no this is not what happened to him not
whatsoever let's start to conclude and
sum up we started with the first man and
Prophet Adam we talked about Moses
Abraham Noah and all pretty much some of
the main Messengers and Prophets we came
to the conclusion now with the last and
final messenger sent to mankind the
prophet Muhammad peace be upon it what
do we want the people to leave after
watching this whole series give us some
advice sh what we're the purpose behind
us sharing all of this is to identify
what makes somebody a prophet at the
same time we should identify what is not
a prophet and also that not to consider
ourselves as prophets MH the last and
the final message itself is the Quran if
you're in doubt about it bring a book
like it that's a challenge number one
bring 10 suras or chapters like it
challenge number two bring even one
chapter like it that's Challenge number
three another one is do not the
disbelievers uh observe that if it were
from other than Allah they would find in
it many
contradictions and then another
challenge it says we shall show them our
signs on the far of this Horizon and
within themselves and this is mentioned
in Quran Allah saying we is the Royal we
of course not that there's any plural
with God we know so look at these
challenges go do it and look to the
science now I would like to take this
opportunity to mention another website M
this one is called science
islam.com there are nine videotapes of
nine scientists not Muslim who went to I
believe it was done in
UAE or uh I'm not real sure where they
did this I'd have to go back and look
but it this Conference was held maybe 15
years
and you got all their testimonies it's
videos they're on on which website on
camera science Islam science Islam they
can go one of them actually accepted
Islam while they were videot typing it
he said there's somebody out there right
now uh that probably wants to accept the
way of life of all these Messengers what
you said earlier when you define please
do it again the five things that equal
the one word Islam is from the word
Aslam ASL in English has no single word
you need five words surrender submission
and obedience in
sincerity and in being in peace with
whatever your environment or
circumstance is after you've done the
other four that person wants to accept
his way of life what do they have to do
sh first thing they need to do is to
open up their own Hearts clean out all
the misconceptions clean out false
Notions any hatred any bigotry that they
have they need to remove it because
Allah was not going to guide them then
when when they've done that and said and
how you do that keep saying I'm sorry
I'm sorry I'm wrong I'm wrong I'm wrong
in your head humble yourself yeah very
humble and in that condition say oh my
Lord oh God or whatever you call him not
Jesus not Muhammad not Moses but
God guide me and be honest and sincere
and look and watch what comes to you the
guidance that you get after that is the
guidance you should follow this is deep
and very simple no crookedness in it
it's the straight path thank you very
much for being with us just one more
time
that website with those scientist
testimony science islam.com science
islam.com
and the the videos are there thank you
for helping us with this series we hope
to have you again back here again
sometime soon on the de show inshallah
and thank you for being with us you've
seen that consistent message has been
the same it wasn't a new way of life
sent with every messenger it's been that
way that way of submitting to the one
one God simple as that submit yourself
to the one God and do what the shik
advised us to do to Humble ourselves and
repent to God Alone just like Adam did
Abraham and all the messengers and
humbly ask God to guide you and be ready
for what comes next and we hope to see
you again next time here on the dean
show until then asalam alaykum peace be
unto you
