let's talk about the uniqueness of this
name Islam compared to what the other
religions are named after well the other
religions tend to be named after people
mhm you know the
Jews or they may be named after a
particular person Buddhists Buddhism
from Buddha yeah or they're named after
a place Hinduism from the Indus Valley
you know they're connected to people's
persons places whereas Islam means
submission to the will of God the name
of the religion is the central pillar
the basic concept the essence of the
religion that's what it refers to Muslim
is not the name of a person it's the
name of one who does Islam right it's is
the what they call the present
participle you know one who does that
act of Islam or submission is called
Muslim so the name of the religion is
found in the text in the Holy text right
you cannot find Hinduism in the Hindu
texts you cannot find Buddhism in the
Buddhist texts you not cannot find
Christianity in the Christian text it's
not there that
the Jesus called his followers
Christians know this was Paul he's the
one who invented that name so is it safe
to say that Jesus peace be upon if he
was alive today did he ever hear this
word Christian if Moses was alive today
did he ever hear this term to be would
he be labeled a Jew or would he be
labeled a Christian or would he be
labeled a Muslim all of the prophets
would have been labeled Muslims because
this essential message was the same
message submission to the will of God
beginning with Adam what was the command
that he was given the command he was
given was to submit to the will of God
don't eat from that tree mhm that's
that's what that's the essence of all
that you know that was the essence of
the religion you can eat from all of the
other
trees quite similar to the one but this
one here don't eat from it mhm
submission will you
submit or not and that's Islam that is
Islam so that's why we say that Islam is
the original religion one cannot claim
Christianity was a religion of Adam no
way can one cannot claim Judaism M or
Buddhism or any other the isms but we
can claim maybe you don't accept it
that's another issue but we can claim
that Islam was the religion of Adam and
Eve that was the religion which God
revealed to them they were commanded to
submit to the will of God and that is
what Islam means so when when the first
man Adam he disobeyed and he ate from
this tree was this tree was it
beautified for him that he was lured
into this and then when he did this was
he forgiven afterwards well the reality
as it is recorded in the Quran is that
after Adam and Eve ate and they sought
forgiveness from God because of course
for God to have put them in a situation
like that yeah knowing full well that
they were going to
eat God knew ahead of time they were
going to eat so for him not to have
given them a root and a way to remove
the sin from themselves would have been
unfair unjust unjust so he gave them
that knowledge how to repent if you sin
so when they realized that they had
sinned they repented and so the sin was
removed from them that's why the process
of repentance is in the hands of each
and every individual it's not a special
priest cast class that they're the ones
who do forgiveness you have to go and
sit in a booth and make confess your
sins and then the the priest comes out
and says your sins are forgiven that's
not the way you know it doesn't work
that way how your sins are forgiven when
some of these priests are committing
more sins than the people are confessing
their sins yeah you know as a human
being so forgiveness belongs only to God
that's the essence of religion and that
God will accept that forgiveness from
whomsoever turns to him
sincerely with a repentant heart God
will forgive them no matter how great
the sin is he's the most merciful the
most loving all we got to do is turn to
him alone exactly simple logical and
that's the way the religion of God
should be it should be a simple rational
logical religion it shouldn't have you
know as you said mental gymnastics as a
pillar for you to be a follower you got
to be a mental gymnast you know how to
make three1 and one three no we just
deal with one one that's it few more
points be before we come to an end so
much to talk about so little time tell
us now is the same concept that happened
with Adam I'm interested to know is that
what was beautified or however he went
off and slipped today many of the things
that we're supposed to stay away from
the fornication the adultery the alcohol
and the drugs it's seems like that is
just beautified today well exactly the
trick of the the that's one of the
methodologies of Satan and the Quran
addresses that
specifically saying that you know Satan
and actually even Satan makes that open
statement recorded in the Quran that I
will beautify for them ah you know so
that's what I'm yeah I will beautify for
them corruption corrup so that they
would accept it and that's exactly what
he did with the tree he came to Adam and
he told them that this tree is the Tree
of Life of eternal life so made it
beautiful mean before that Adam wasn't
thinking about eternal life you know
short life Etc eternal life I need some
of that you know yeah who doesn't want
to be Eternal I I need a piece of that
so what he made it seem is that of all
the trees in in in the uh in the whole
of the garden this is the one he had to
eat from yeah and that's is not exactly
what's happening now we're the media
makes the corruption seem like these
things our life is incomplete if we have
not experienced and tasted this thing
our life is what you know life is just
not fulfilled unless we get to this
thing and these things that we're
chasing after which have been beautified
for us are corruption things which are
harmful to us as individuals harm to our
societies with without us shadow of a
doubt has the truth always from the
beginning been opposed because you'll
see a stigma attach to this truth what
we claim is from the creator of the
heavens and the Earth has it always been
the way during Moses's time Jesus's time
all the prophets has there been opposing
force force to try to lure people away
from the correct way absolutely it began
with Adam and
Satan and will not end until the end end
of this world and all that is living in
it dies and is resurrected the satanic
forces will always be there throughout
this life as long as this world is
functioning it will be there it has been
from the very beginning it will remain
there till the end and this is a part of
the challenge and the
test will we submit our Wills to God or
will we submit our Wills to Satan and
his
forces plays on our desires plays on our
uh our needs you know turns them into
things which are alluring to us but in
fact harmful to us so this process is a
NeverEnding process we just have to be
conscious of it we have to open up and
and wake up to know what's really
happening
