true and living God cuz that's what I do

you and you have so much hate out there
because you got 300 million Americans
who know little to nothing about Islam
and the stuff they do know is
misinformation it's lies pushed by the
hate industry now you got this gentleman
here he's here actually sitting on our
property at the dean Center and he's a
Christian and he's calling people to
worship Jesus we're GNA talk with him
and call him to worship the god of Jesus
the god that Jesus worshiped how you
doing I'm doing good did you know this
Muslims love Jesus did you know that
yeah I see like opportunity here you're
actually you're at our facility exactly
seems like God sent you we can have a
nice little conversation do you know
anything about Islam I I know a little
about Islam so yeah I I do know that you
guys uh uh pray to the same God
even as Christians do and uh Jehovah or
who you call um Allah you know the
language that Jesus spoke you know which
word it was he spoke Aramaic yeah in
Aramaic Aramaic and that one word for
God in Aramaic is Allah Allah in Hebrew
Elohim Elohim but in Aramaic you can
look this up you go online and you can
check what's the language Jesus spoke
Aramaic how did he call on God it's
going to tell you Allah M Arabic is the
sister language to Aramaic Allah Allah
it's the same God and did you know that
Jews and Christians who are arabic
speaking mhm they also call on God by
Allah mhm did you know that now if you
didn't know it yeah I knew it I knew it
yeah and did you know it's a it's a
Article of Faith so there's six articles
of faith in Islam one is the pure
absolute monotheism that God is one and
alone worthy of worship exactly and
second is the belief in the in the
Angels believe in the books that were
revealed uh Believe In The Messengers
and the belief in me The Messengers
believing that Moses was a messenger
Abraham was a messenger Jesus the Christ
meaning the Messi the Messiah he was a
messenger of God the same way all the
other Messengers who were sent and the
prophets to call Humanity to worship one
and only one God and that's what Islam
means if look at the Lord's Prayer Oh
Our Father who are in heaven Hallowed be
thy name thy kingdom come thy will be
done thy will is Islam this is what
Islam literally means to submit your
will that's how you get peace in life by
submitting your will to the will of the
creator of the heavens and earth that's
Islam yeah we agree upon all of that now
what we do now look there's the elephant
in the room I have a lot of Christian
friends and we say let's get the
elephant out of the room because there's
so much we can talk about like like the
family values you see the the the man
now they want to turn into a woman the
woman into a man exactly Madness today
right yeah these moral values we have a
lot that we the the sexualization of the
kids in the schools obviously Christians
don't agree with that right we we're on
the same page page right so a lot of
these things
abortion same P right um what else you
have some other things that oh well the
need to spread the the uh message of God
yes and that's something that Muslim
agree upon Christians agree upon the
fact that we say that God is one God
right uh in that in that understanding
and and that's something also that
Christians believe in that we should
pray without ceasing uh and we pray to
God all of us agree on that we we're
praying to one God we agree to that
portion yes here's the here's the
elephant in the room or The Parting of
the ways or the difference and and look
this is not something that should drive
Christians and Muslims for their part
not to work on a common good on other
things because you got people in the
same house who are Democrat Republican
uh different sides of the spectrum on so
many other things but they're family
we're we're a family in humanity right
we have the same father Adam so now
that's our lineage and we can work
together to make the world a better
place because Christians are not going
anywhere uhhuh Muslims are not going
anywhere right Jews are not going
anywhere look we're here to stay so we
might as well learn
about each other and learn to go ahead
and agree to disagree on some things but
in a peaceful way I think that's it to
peacefully coexist and you said you said
something which I agree upon which is
learning how to understand our
differences for one if we're Waring with
each other there's no way in the world
uh we reflect the one God there's no way
in the world if if me and you are
fighting and at War and at Gods with
each other there's no way for one we
know that God is the word says love
that's that's key so understanding that
like you said there's a need for us
collectively to make a difference in
this world for all humanity and if we
don't start coming together to do that
then come on that's that's another thing
right there where you have how many
people out there who are homeless uh how
many people do you have out there who
are um on alcohol on drugs I mean uh
people who are in the society that need
help right uh so we can come together to
help these people right to eradicate
many of the social ills that are
destroying Society that's another that's
another point but understanding at at
the same time that we don't have to come
together and sing Kua right that we have
there is there is some major differences
but at the same time those differences
are not to the point that should cause
such a division cuz I asked my Christian
friends and neighbor they say do you get
offended when I say Jesus and I say
after his name peace be upon Him does
that offend you uh well I don't get I'm
be honest with you I don't get offended
over much so personally no it's not an
offense I don't think on anybody that's
honor we're honoring him right I
understand what what you mean by it and
I understand that you're not being a uh
offensive offense of any way I
understand that Muslims only see uh
Jesus as a prophet similar to Moses and
all of that now we agree on we we agree
on that the Bible declares that he is
it's in the Bible Bingo that he iset is
is a prophet but also the difference
between Christians is we believe him to
be a king and a priest and that's the
only difference okay so yeah if we say
okay he was a a king and a priest to
rule over his people and a priest as a
leader a religious figure right right
well no as we believe as Christians he
was indeed God and the same as the three
and TR now that that would mean so
that's what we would say like unpackage
that what do you mean like he was God uh
part of a trinity explain that exactly
so basically it's like this so Jesus was
in the beginning and this is what we we
as Christians believe we believe that
Jesus was in the beginning him God the
Holy Spirit was all all together as one
he said let us make man in our image so
we believe that right and as we believe
that we believe that Jesus came and died
for the sins of all humanity and this is
the good part which is the good news to
me is that while we were yet
nonbelievers when we were yet sinners
and against God right when we had
already made our own demands and we
weren't going to Jesus still showed his
love in the death for us let me ask you
this m we we're all taught certain
things right yeah we can be programmed
certain way conditioned but not
everything that we're programmer taught
is always right right because the US
Constitution at one at one point it
equated the African-Americans black
people as what 2/3 of a white man you
remember that right so people were
conditioned people were conditioned to
believe this but now we come to this is
false this is of the devil right and
there's a beautiful statement from the
last and final message sent to mankind
Muhammad who said there's no difference
between the White and the black exactly
between the black the Arab and the
non-arab we we are all now descendants
now from Adam and now the the and the
Quran talks about that paraphrasing that
the best among you I made you into
Nations and tribes that you know each
other you don't hate each other and the
best among you are those who have have
the best the most TAA the ones who are
the most God conscious Pious morally
upright got it so this is what
differentiates us not the color of your
skin my skin but my point there was you
see how certain people were conditions a
certain wayct you had the Muslims who
were 30 to 40% from the Atlantic trait
slaves right you had certain people
conditioned thinking they're going to go
and civilize these people and the black
African-Americans and then torture them
kidnap them
and then bring them over here you follow
me and do the most evil things you get
it this is something Despicable but you
that's the conditioning that's and they
were using the Bible they were using the
Bible was supposed to be the word of God
to justify that you get it kind of like
any religion even in if we pull out even
in the Muslims there are people that are
in the Muslim religion who take the the
yes yeah they take it out of context and
then they uh just even like the Jews
there are scribes what they call scribes
and Pharisees Jesus said except our
righteousness exceed that of the scribes
and Pharisees we will not likewise make
it in because cuz man has a condition
which is and and I'm going to let you
talk brother but man has a condition
which is a sin nature and without God
ruling and abiding upon the throne room
of our heart we are all subject to fall
and fail every s single time like you
said the slave trade was simply about
greed it was simp simply about greed and
that was it evil evil but even if we go
even further back and then I'm going get
off my uh soap box if we go even further
back these were conditions even in the
times of Jesus
slavery uh you know uh all type of
situations in the Roman Empire
homosexuality nothing new Under the Sun
we know this stuff is just gotten
ramping up and it's getting worse wor
and worse in all the countries of the
world one thing we better realize is
that God is real absolutely yes and
going back to what I the point I wanted
to make is that we're conditioned we're
programmed to believe certain things
right but now our nature and the fitra
what we call it this is theate nature
that if you were to leave a child and he
and he grew up and now you were to
explain to him
the attributes of the all loving the
most kind one God they would easily be
able to understand this right and that
was the consistent message from Adam the
first man to uh Abraham and then a No
Moses and David and ishmail Isaac you
can see this continuous chain of
prophets and messenger god almighty is
sending to call people to worship the
Creator not the creation you will see
this continuous in chronological order
not with different man-made religions
not with one messenger saying worship me
the other one saying worship the son the
other one saying worship a stick of
stone anything in creation but worship
the one God that's that that that pure
absolute monotheism now human beings
they go off they drift off and they
start to worship creation they start to
worship idols and icons Saints and
people in the ground and all sorts of
things exact and this is now I
understand this is no way to offend you
or any Christian out there but we see
the same thing happening here is where
now Jesus if you read the clear explicit
verses in the Bible because we believe
and this is according to like Bible
scholars like Bruce Mesker you have
others textual critics who will tell us
that we don't have a copy of a copy of a
copy of any original Bible people of
course call The Gospel books Matthew
Mark Luke and John well they call them
Matthew Mark Luke and John because we
don't know who wrote these books and
there's no point calling them Sam Fred
Jerry and Harry I mean they're they're
written by people we don't know who they
were written by they are Anon you might
not think so because they have the title
The Gospel according to Matthew whoever
put that title on it was an editor later
the followers of Jesus were Aramaic
speaking peasants From Galilee lower
class men who were not educated in fact
Peter and John in Acts 4:13 are
literally said to be illiterate they
couldn't read and write of course not
they were fishermen they didn't go to
school the vast majority of people in
the ancient world never learned to read
let alone write and their native
language was Aramaic these books are
written in Greek by Highly Educated
rhetorically trained writers who are
skilled in Greek composition but what we
do have of explicit verses we have Jesus
saying that differentiating himself as
being subservient to God not part of God
one with God a trinity so now if you
talk to a child and you try to explain
Trinity if you try to explain that God
is the father God is the son God is the
Holy Ghost but not three but one now you
lose the child as Jesus grew up he Le
more and more about God
his Jesus Is God how can you learn more
and more about
himself cuz Jesus Is
God that's a great question then so how
can you learn more and more about
himself cuz it said Jesus grew up he
learned more and more about God his
father
well because when Jesus came down to
earth um he grew up as a regular human
being
too so he would read the the Bible and
that kind of thing so he would Le more
more about himself you also and most
people you lost in a mental gymnastic
Maze and you cannot get out but now God
is saying look just one yeah so what we
go by is again the new testament which
Jesus declared him himself he says when
you've seen the son you've also seen the
father he he even brought out he said
have I been this long with you and you
still not know then he told Peter he
says after Peter said you know you are
the son of the Living God and he told
him he says Upon This Rock I shall build
my church and the Gates of Hell shall
not Prevail against it so there are
several times throughout the New
Testament
and and and the life and teachings of
Jesus Christ where he declared himself
as the Son of God and then even when
other people when he stood before the
court and they they said uh who who do
you say I am and and he told him he said
thou sayest he let don't know you said
correctly and so that's the difference
in the belief I'm going ask you a
question and and then you I and I
appreciate this dialogue too I I I
definitely do brother I appreciate this
dialogue because if we don't talk and
commune together then we miss it anyway
now I appreciate this dialogue this is
the thing that I want to want to want to
point out
right if we first off right are walking
towards God right then we have to trust
him in this part of the message if if
I'm wrong right if I'm wrong and I'm
earnestly seeking his face there is no
way that a true and living God will
continue to let me be wrong and if
you're wrong and you're truly truly not
not for like you said not the
brainwashing that's been thrown out not
the foolishness that's out here none of
that stuff but earnestly from your heart
from your heart place right from your
heart place cuz when Moses wrote when
roses wrote the scriptures right when he
wrote the scriptures out right he wrote
it after communing with God so if you
honestly communing with God there's no
way in the world he's going to leave you
in darkness there's no way in the world
he's going to leave me in darkness if
we're and this is what I'm going to say
and then I'm going to let you go ahead
but if we're
earnestly with all we we have if we're
earnestly seeking after him we know I
don't care if it's the uh Quran the the
Torah you know I don't care if it's a
new testament I don't care which one it
is one thing we know that in both of the
Testaments that it says we will find him
now the the key to that there's a
statement authentic statement by Prophet
Muhammad peace and upon him he's saiding
God is saying that this is Imagine This
the crater who's who's speaking he says
all of my slaves because we're all
slaves of God MH are is guided unless I
mean the Creator guides them so ask me
of my guidance exactly what you said if
a human beings prays directly not to
Muhammad not to Moses not to not to
Jesus nobody else but the creator of the
heavens and earth alone you know in
Matthew
26:39 when Jesus went a little further
it says and he fell on his face and
prayed to God the Lord's Prayer in there
there's no mention of praying to Jesus
is praying to Oh Our Father
this is the lord of the universe if we
pray directly to the one God that Jesus
prayed to the way when he fell on his
face the you know absolute monotheism
not associating any partners of God God
Almighty the Creator Allah Allah Elohim
will the most loving the most
compassionate the merciful the most just
those are his attributes and names he
will guide a human being he will not
leave you me in the dark ex but if we do
shik is where we set up partners with
God that now we start to pray to Saints
idles icons Messengers The Creation and
we put intermediaries between us and God
like God Almighty is the one that can
give forgive alone now he is the one
that we need to pray to alone you got
now now Jesus said all power is given to
me so the prophets can go ahead and give
you the formula what you need to do and
you'll be forgiven for certain things
but the key is to ask God Almighty alone
for guidance and for repentance and
that's how you get salvation but that's
the tricky thing now the dangerous thing
is when we set up Rivals when we set up
equals to God let me ask you this
question look when Jesus peace be upon
him we love and rever if a Muslim says
any disrespectful thing about Jesus he
or she can end up in the Hellfire I
don't know if you knew that I didn't
know that yeah you end up in a Hellfire
disrespecting Jesus in any which way
right denying him right we believe he
was the Messiah the Immaculate
Conception that he did Miracles and
wonders all by the miracle of God right
and we believe that he only called God
uh people to worship one and only one
God uh for example in the Bible here o
Israel the Lord thy God is one when one
came to him and said oh good Master what
good thing can I do that I may have
eternal life so why are you calling me
good look at that look I'm a martial
artist right yeah I I'm a fighter
someone comes and say man you're such a
tough guy look you submitted all those
guys in a row I said man I'm nothing man
don't worry you know what I mean I want
to keep it humble right not be arrogant
you know po to myself you see the Muslim
fighter are usually pointing up that
means pointing to the one who gave me
the strength and the power intelligence
to get things done but now this is God
this is the creator he should be now
taking the credit he should be saying
yes this is how you worship me he's
saying why you call me good there's only
one good but God now here's my question
is Jesus all knowing because if Jesus Is
God he will have to know everything like
God knows everything so how how how
would you respond to that well if I
respond to that I would tell you Jesus
uh
well just like the other prophets I'm
going to be honest they got the word
directly but Jesus was there so him and
the father were one so the other
prophets the the spirit of God rested
upon them right now the difference the
rested upon them David the spirit of God
rested upon them you know and on and on
and on uh Ezekiel you know all of those
things so when we talk about it like
that we understand that the spirit of
God rested upon but but now as the
Christian belief is that the spirit of
God
dwells he
encompassed he was you get what I'm
saying this is even before uh his death
and Resurrection make it easier like
there's certain qualities that we would
agree the creator has I I'll Define them
that you agree he's one y he's absolute
he's Eternal exactly okay he knows
everything exactly uh he doesn't uh
increase in knowledge because he has on
knowledge he not ignorant of any
anything right um doesn't have a
beginning or end doesn't uh die these
are qualities you would say are of
God now let's apply that to to you to me
we wouldn't fit that description
obviously we're limited let's let's
apply that to Abraham mhm he was limited
right yeah he already knew him part
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him also
he also he couldn't be God he wasn't God
uh Moses the son yeah uh the moon all
Limitless right came there was a
beginning Jesus now peace be upon him
did he have a
beginning no he had no beginning but did
he come out of the womb of a woman he
can't by way of God through the
miraculous conception that you talked
about earlier so you just said that you
guys believe in that part so in that
part yes he came by way of woman through
uh the miraculous conception or the
miracle of God did he die he died he
died and he again he rose again as he
had already proclaimed that he was so if
he died then now if you have three gods
for a moment there's only two because he
died now what do you have now you have
the Holy Ghost according to well he died
in his flesh and then even like this
we're going to we'll say this the
Muslims believe that there's a life
after this life yes so the Christian
believe there a life after this life so
if we die in this flesh we still live
for eternity you're talking about spirit
so our spirit our spirit Never Dies
right our spirit doesn't die our fleshly
man it dies so can you can you conceive
that Jesus was
100% right 100%
100% able to live right excuse my phone
uh to to to live by the power that he
came in here with now I mean we don't
have to agree on thatone that because
again what you just said excuse me I
like I said I'm I'm not trying to
monopolize it we agree to this part that
we are disagreeing on some so we we'll
point out those things of disagreement
like there's disagreement here we'll
move on
I would like personally I would like to
continue this dialogue yeah you are like
you said you have Christian friends and
everything and and and I would like to
continue this this dialogue as we
continue on uh to to get to know each
other better yes yes you know
because like you said for some reason
you believe this is a Divine Purpose
guess what I believe it too I pulled up
here didn't even know the church was uh
well the old building I you guys call it
uh uh it's not called a church mid
musjid musjid and then we have
Educational Center we have an
educational center I didn't know it was
a mus I walked up and saw one of the
brothers out there and I said hey is is
this a church now he said no he he he
explained to me that uh it was Muslim
and I said well the only reason I asked
cuz I was going to come out and just sit
out and put some signs out let if so let
me get back to this point so if God is
all knowing and if Jesus is 100% God
does he know everything at all times at
all times so now that's the
million-dollar question now when he was
asked was he at one point obviously he
doesn't lie he's not going to lie right
or he doesn't know because being
ignorant of something is not to be
offensive just you don't know yeah so
he's not lying if or is he ignorant of
something can he ever be put in that
situation
what do you mean like when when he says
in his word where he tells him that uh
I'm I'm waiting on the father to tell me
when I'm the
return that's one of examples here
here's an example for ex when when he
was asked of that day and hour meaning
when is the day of judgment when when is
this coming so now he's saying either
now he's he's hiding it he's lying well
this is you say no he cannot be lying
this is disrespectful to him he's not a
Liars right so I never want to I watch
my words to ever disect and the other
thing is now that he's saying perfect
opportunity to go ahead and uh give them
the information instead of holding back
but he didn't know he said of that day
and hour knows no man no the son nobody
right so that's the question there if
he's God shouldn't he know well this is
the thing I want you to look no no I I
got you and and that was a very very
good question you know this verse right
uh-huh that's what that's what I alluded
to when I was talking to you so that's a
very good question now this is the thing
that I want to point out though is it
that he didn't know or he just did not
reveal it is that one of the things that
he just really didn't reveal now that's
a good question and it's something that
I'm going to have to go back in and
research a little more but that'll be
something that me and you can talk about
the next time here here's what I is is
it too hard to ask like we can never go
ahead and pray to Jesus or Muhammad or
anybody is it too much to ask to pray to
God Almighty alone to say look if this
man right here if he's on to things if
if you sent him from me if he's on
Christian it is too much because then
what because prayer no I got you it's
it's get what I'm saying I I can pray I
could pray with you right I'm I'm going
to give you an example I could pray with
you I we can right now no no no I'm
saying when you go home I got you I got
you I I understand cuz that's what I do
I are you a pastor no no I'm just a good
brother man out here trying to do you
have your own church or no no I'm just
out here trying to I like your Your
Enthusiasm passion man Hey cuz listen
God is real and I know it personally I
know he's real so what would besides
look how long have you when did you uh
become a u practicing Christian what are
you uh Protestant bap Baptist what um
well I would be considered aom non
denominational how long how long ago did
you come to this realization a
non-denominational I've been been there
I I I wasn't I wasn't reared up in in in
let's say the traditional way I had my
personal experience with God so when you
when you hear me speak I'm speaking out
of a a personal conviction with God
things that I've seen the evidence of
God even even people in a cult yeah you
know cuz you believe that the devil is
real and I believe and that's a common
belief the problem is that we don't a
lot of times we don't get together and
fight the Real Enemy we too busy trying
to fight each other not me you know
because I already understand that the
battle is not with flesh and blood I
understand that and a lot of people
don't I'm looking forward to our next
conversation I got I got your literature
I'm going sit down and I'm going read
over that and I would definitely and
give me your name again brother yes
Eddie brother Eddie all right brother
Eddie Darren is my name nice to meet you
nice to meeting you I'm looking forward
to our next conversation and these are
conversations that need to happen and
for myself I don't really like to get
into heated debates or anything I I like
to what I like to do is because that's
what a lot of times happens and then one
side is more of the ego kicks in and
there's like then the truth gets lost so
I ask people just really reflect if
there's if there's truth coming from one
side there something I'm going to take
it but it's about who's the one that can
guide us it's the one who created us so
I usually leave people with this homewor
it's just so simple it's in the Lord's
Prayer my Christian friends and
neighbors is to like if there's any
truth here because we believe that like
we were saying God will guide us to the
truth and our n nature recognizes the
belief in the one and only one God this
is this is just very straightforward
it's like 1 plus one is two very uh
self-explanatory it's part of part of
what God created us to recognize that
truth truth a lot of times you know our
invested interests and um our ego and
and and emotions we get get way we we
get we get attached to something but
then this is the way God comes and sends
the advice and reminds us the reminds us
and now the person has to think hold on
is there is this something guys talking
about UFOs is this guy talking to me
about some strange you know like today
like they're trying to make the man into
woman woman to man like that you're
you're a wolf or I'm trying to convince
you that you're you know an animal or
whatnot that's come on I a't got time
for that stuff but this is simple
praying to God Alone saying God the one
who Jesus prayed to guide me if this is
any truth here guide me to it that's I
don't think that's unreasonable at all
well again yeah that's what we beg the
differ but listen I'm brother Eddie I'm
not over here just talking yeah and I'm
not over here just saying anything I
would like now I don't know how often
you have time
but I would like for us to continue our
dialogue sit down and just kind of
discuss some things very interested to
know you like you say you're a martial
artist interested in knowing a little
more about that you learn a little more
about me and we continue this dialogue
because I had already told the brother I
was planning on coming to one of the
press sessions and when I asked him
right off the bat yeah oh yeah I'm
coming once he told me the times and
everything I'm I'm going to be there
because he did he did he did Express uh
that you guys don't uh pray and aramatic
you but you pray in English yeah you
translate in Arabic but yes but he so he
told me that and I said well you know
that's good and I can you know Arabs
only make up a small percentage of the
overall Muslim Community let me just uh
before we conclude uh this is important
Islam is an Arabic word which means like
I opened earlier to acquire peace by
submitting your will to the will of God
and a Muslim is one who does the action
of Islam a Muslim is a submitter to God
that's all it is and and the same way
understanding that is that's what the
Christian does but the only difference
between the the understanding of that is
that the Christian understands that is
through the power of the Holy Spirit
which afford affords us to do that and
so by the Holy Spirit uh we are
comforted even David wrote uh in his his
uh uh his his writings even about the
Messiah so he even wrote you know who my
two uh one of my two out of many um Who
I Really uh admire so much and if you
look at the the way they stood on
certain ground and principles you have
Muhammad Ali MH who was Mal and Malcolm
X so they also at one point in time they
went back to their roots and they
started to invest they came both from a
Christian background and now they went
to their roots and they saw that those
roots connected them if you look at kin
right if you watched the film he's
saying Allah Allah right um yeah it's a
lot of Muslims in Africa but it also I
like to point out cuz I know a little
history on this one there's also a lot
of Christians in Africa and it wasn't
and I want to point this out so that
everybody can understand and you can
research this it wasn't because uh
Africans or those individuals cuz you
know Muslims and all that and everybody
come by regions you know what I'm saying
tribes but it wasn't that only uh the
way that Africans met God was through
some missionary they already knew God
like you said Bas based on uh other some
were poly polytheistic and uh
monotheistic I'm going to leave you
something else to to think about before
Jesus who were the people before him
praying to you see this if you look at
if you think about that if you look just
right before Jesus came they were
praying to someone they were praying to
God that's been the same message right
they weren't praying to Jesus or anyone
they were praying to the creator of
heavens and earth and who died for those
people's sins right they were upon
repenting to God Almighty alone that's
the the True Believers we believe they
were Muslim that's why we say Jesus was
a Muslim he submitted to the will of God
Moses was a Muslim he submitted to the
God and they did Islam that word wasn't
there but the concept was always there
submission to the will of
that that that's how you can make sense
of all the religions that's how you can
make sense of everything because now
Christianity named after Christ kisto
you cut off the sto you have Christ
right uh Judaism after the tribe of
Judah Hinduism a geographical location
Islam is from the first man Adam he was
told submit your will to the will of God
he was a Muslim he was upon Islam all
the way through to the last and final
message of prophet Muhammad peace and
blessings be upon so we talking about
two sons
you know and so at the end of the day uh
I agree and and then just one more thing
disagree and if you look at it because
it's based on the Quran tells us produce
your proof If You're truthful I would I
would I would um really try to have you
you know contemplate thinking just open
up and read the translation of the Quran
as a potential book from God we say this
is the verba words of God Almighty I
have no problem studying and I like you
said I have no problem because then I
can relate to you there you go student
and at the end of the day you'll be able
to relate to me when I come back there
you go and and share some things to I've
been a student of comparative religion
right through the Bible right through
most of the religious texts out there
and what differentiated again Islam from
everything else was if authenticity of
the Quran as it was revealed uh we have
someone right here he's memorized the
entire Quran the entire Quran we have
millions of people living today have
memorized entitled book that's how it's
been preserved then you have certain
signs and miracles that there's no way a
man living in the desert could have done
these things and we and and and they're
they're not Miracles that were just for
that time they're witnessed by people
but the living Miracle we have is the
Quran and I that's another topic but to
go over all it's historical even like
even uh Roman uh uh in historians wrote
about Jesus and the effect of the
Christian Movement uh in Rome and all
that so yeah we know all of those things
exist but brother
Eddie I listen I definitely and if you
don't mind can we close in prayer I'll
let you pray first and then I'll pray or
I can pray first and you pray and look
at look at the opening chapter of the
Quran look it says
alhamd Al alul
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
I'll translate but this is how it's been
preserved that we have me as a a
European American you have white black
Asian everyone is memorizing his books
all praises to Allah Lord of the
worlds the most gracious the most
merciful owner of the day of judgment
you alone we worship you alone we seek
for help guide us on the straight path
the path of those who you have favored
not those who have gone astray mhm this
is the now if we're going to pray or if
we if we look at the The Lord's Prayer
if we're going to pray directly to God
and say God Almighty guide us we are in
need of your guidance praying to God
Almighty the same God Jesus that's
prayer but we can never pray in the name
of Muhammad and in the name of Jesus
that's what's called shik and we can end
up as as Muslims we can end up or
anybody who does that can end up in the
hell fart that's the thing that we have
to stay and and that's I got you so I
understand what you're saying and I'm
not here to oppose my will on against
yours and I appreciate listen I
appreciate it dearly that you explaining
it to me like that like someone someone
can let me just one more thing sorry
like I respect a Christian tells me out
of his love that if you don't believe
Jesus is your lord and savior you're
going to go to Hellfire mhm that's your
okay but we believe at the same time
those those who deny Prophet Muhammad
after they hear about him and that they
worship others besides God exactly that
g that that if they worship Muhammad if
they worship Moses Jesus or anybody they
can end up in the Hellfire so what I'm
going to ask for you to do is when you
pray to God to pray and we going to keep
praying for clarity and when I pray to
God God of Jesus I'm going pray to God
in the name of Jesus and I'm going pray
for listen I'm going pray for clarity
see we agree can you just take a listen
list go ahead go ahead hey I know you're
a good fighter too I I'm telling you

Dying World absent of you get what I'm
