yeah so that Islam that we're talking
about we're talking about that complete
conscious decision that I'm going to
surrender I'm going to submit I'm going
to be obedient to the one who created me
and this is summed up with one word in
Arabic Islam exactly yes a mission to
the will of God
some people get hung up now on the
Arabic now they feel that possibly look
this this is an Arab thing this is an
Arabic thing how do we have them look
past this well reality is that the
followers of the Prophet may God's peace
and blessings be upon him came from all
parts of the world we had them coming
from Persia coming from Abyssinia coming
from all over it on what rights from his
generation reality is is that the vast
majority of Muslims in the world are not
Arabs Arabs only make up a fraction
fifteen percent of the whole of the
Muslim nation you know
1.5 billion people Arabs are only a
fraction the total number of Muslims in
India alone is more than the total
number of Arabs so it's not an Arabic
religion becomes but okay Arabic is
there but this Arabic is a unifier so
that the nature of our prayer is such
that no matter where you go you can join
in your brothers and sisters with them
in prayer yeah you know I go to China if
you heard the Athan in Chinese well then
you wouldn't even know what's going on
the call to prayer yeah when you hear it
in Arabic you know exactly where ever
you are any Muslim here is that they
know there's a mosque here you go in
there the guys gonna lead the prayer he
does it in Chinese again you're lost
what is he doing what's he saying he
speaks in Arabic everybody can fall in
and it's the unifying factor and again
it is also the language of Revelation
the language in which God revealed his
final message so you learn Arabic not to
be an Arab but to be able to hear the
Word of God as it was revealed I mean
Jesus spoke Aramaic the gospel that he
received was an Aramaic but there are
tribes in
in Syria today that speak Aramaic didn't
speak English
this being English didn't speak Latin
you know from which they are Greek from
which these things were translated he
spoke Aramaic swears his gospel it's
lost not known
