Do you want to know what makes
[Music]
the show?
Alhamdulillah. Asalam alaikum. The
wonderful greeting of peace that we're
greeting you with. Thank you for tuning
in to another episode of the Dean Show.
Today we're going to be discussing some
of the common questions that some
non-Muslims might ask or even that the
Muslims get confused about. Good and
evil. There's a God. Where does it come
from?
This idea of God being three in one, the
Trinity and other common misconceptions
and questions that people have. So,
don't go nowhere. We'll be right back.
You can sing along with this wonderful
song. And we'll be here with our next
guest on the Dean Show. Allah
[Music]
Allah,
there's only one word and Muhammad is
his messenger. Allah
Allah.
There's only one God and Jesus was his
messenger. I
[Music]
don't know why I did that. Maybe maybe
it's just to break the ice. Assalamu
alaykum.
You're my brother.
How you doing?
I'm happy that you're back here with us
on the Dean Show.
I'm happy to be back on the Dean Show.
You got to keep coming back, brother.
My pleasure. As long as you keep
inviting me, I'll keep coming back.
That's right.
Okay, we get down to business because
you know what? We have so much to talk
about and always so little time but we
want to give the people a taste of this
beautiful way of life way of life of all
the messengers Islam the submission to
the one God right in peace
talk to us now there's some questions
common questions that when Muslims are
talking to non-Muslims and even Muslims
amongst themselves that are trying to
get supposed Muslims who are
nonpracticing practicing and And some of
these are arguments that we might seem
for us ridiculous, but there's easy ways
to answer them. So, we want to give the
tools, the people the ability when
someone comes and just throws something
at you, now you're stumped.
So, talk about some of these things that
you've encountered, share with us and
give some common replies to them,
please.
Great. First of all, alhamdulillah,
in the name of Allah, the most merciful,
the compassionate, and may he extol and
send blessings of peace upon his final
messenger, Muhammad.
So basically, you know, a lot of times
people think that their job is just to
answer questions. A lot of Muslims feel
that, you know, I'm here to tell you
about Islam. Feel free to ask me
questions. And so whatever question is
thrown at them, they respond. And
hopefully we're we're we're hoping that
in this episode, people will learn other
ways of answering questions. and from
the responses perhaps both Muslims and
non-Muslims can can benefit from the
answer to the question
because uh when you think your job is
just to answer questions you begin to
answer no matter how ridiculous the
question is for example sometimes uh and
and I'm going to repeat some of the the
examples I've been giving over the years
same examples right
sometimes someone will come to you and
say can God create a four-sided triangle
and you know a Muslim will be like yes
of course you can create anything. But
that what kind of a question is that?
There's no such thing as a four-sided
triangle. The minute there's a fourth
side, it's a rectangle or it's a square,
but there's no such thing. So that guy
a stupid question now.
Exactly. He needs to go back to, you
know, whatever mathematics where what
level where they teach you that
triangle has three sides, but don't just
start answering those questions
or the well someone will ask you
something like why does Allah need us to
worship him? And so immediately you
start to give a fancy answer because
he's deserving of worship. No matter how
fancy you make it, you're wrong.
Yeah.
Because you didn't fix the question
because the guy said, "Why does Allah
need us to worship him?" You need to fix
the question. He doesn't need us to
worship him.
Mhm.
No matter how eloquently you respond to
that question, he walks away thinking
Allah does need us to worship him. So,
you got to fix the question.
I'll tell you. And and sometimes in
fixing the question, you give a valuable
lesson. One time I was uh and again I'm
repeating this, you know, popular
stories that I've told before. I was
working at this company and uh this man,
a non-Muslim, asked me. He said, "Why do
Muslims always grow their beards?" Yeah.
Right. And I know why he's asking me
that question.
Because he shaves
and people around him shave,
but he shouldn't be asking me this. Why
I grow my beard. I should be asking him
why he shaves.
Yeah.
I want him to understand that. So I
said, "Well, I understand why you're
asking me that question, but to be
honest, I don't grow it. It comes out by
itself
naturally."
Yeah. I don't put manure.
Yeah. and and then put water and then
sunlight and then it comes out by itself
naturally like the grass from the soil.
Exactly. I told him and that's what
happens and even children understand
this concept because if you tell a child
draw the face of a man and a woman
he'll immediately add facial hair to the
man because when a male reaches puberty
he sprouts facial hair.
Yeah.
So I don't do anything to grow my hair.
You're the one it's growing for you
naturally as well but you insist on
removing every stubble every morning.
Yeah. So when I gave him the answer, he
actually thought about it and he started
to tell me I'll try to quote him. He
said, you know, I never thought of it of
it that way. But you should be asking me
why I shave.
Mhm.
Because now when you know we got him to
rethink his question. One time uh
someone was giving a lecture on Islam to
a Muslim audience. The the men were to
the left, the women were to the right.
And the women of course they were
dressed in their veil and their hijab.
So a non-Muslim woman came in yelling.
She was angry. She was pointing at the
at the women. Why are they covered like
that?
Yeah.
So then he looked at her and he said,
"Well, you're covered as well. Why?" And
you were born naked. Why are you
covered? She said, "Modesty."
Yeah.
He said, "Well, just like you're you're
modest by being covered, they're being a
bit more modest by being covered a bit
more." So immediately it it made her
think that she shouldn't be asking this
question to begin with because you know
it's what's wrong with being covered?
You're covered. I mean you're not
undressed
because you know there's this assumption
that if you wear hijab that you're
oppressed right and the more you take
remove of clothing the more free you
are.
But then realistically that means then
if you have some kind of clothing some
level of clothing on you. You're not
100% free. So, and I and I always say
don't do this. Don't make the argument,
but you could always argue, well, you
need to liberate yourself a little bit
more yourself. You're not 100% free.
Yeah. Take it even more off.
Exactly. But don't. Right.
But don't absolutely not.
Yeah. So, basically, it's it's getting
people to look at their question again.
Don't just start answering it. Someone
tells you about a three four-sided
triangle, don't answer that question.
He needs to understand that that's not
that's not a right question, especially
we're talking about Allah, you know. Uh
we're going to take a break. Okay, this
sigin
and we'll be right back on an issue.
[Music]
All of the prophets would have been
labeled Muslims because this essential
message was the same message, submission
to the will of God.
This is God talking to you directly. How
could I stand behind the pulpit on
Sunday morning and preach a sermon that
I knew was at variance with the actual
taproot of Christianity.
Back here with my brother and your
brother KL
Elmechi
absolutely
talk to us continue on.
All right. You know sometimes even
Muslims will ask some really weird
questions you know and if they think
about it they they'll start to
understand it. Like sometimes a woman
will say, a Muslim woman will say
something like, "How come there wasn't
any female prophet sent to humanity?" I
mean, are you serious? Think about it.
All right. One of the jobs of the
prophet, they got to lead armies battle.
Sometimes the prophetam would walk for
two months to get to a location, right?
For two straight months. And now this is
a female prophet. She's got to lead all
these men into battle. I don't know how
tough she's going to be in battle.
Besides that, then she it it's that time
of the month and she has cramps and her
legs hurt and she has to walk like that
and then she's pregnant for nine months
and she still has to lead the prayers
and I mean come on, think about your
question first.
Then she has a mood swing
and and then and then what who knows
what ruling she'll come up with, right?
Yeah.
And then also sometimes you'll say
things like why can't a woman marry four
men? Are you objecting? I mean this is a
blessing for you. You can't marry four
men. It's bad enough putting up with one
guy. No, that's not the reason. The real
reason is that imagine the woman has to
take care of four men, cook for four
men, take care of four men's homes and
bear children for four men and it's
impossible. So, but think about your
question before you ask it. So, anyways,
when someone asks you a question in in
response, try to keep the response
simple and keep it direct and to the
point.
Don't don't just come out and be anxious
now to answer. Think rationally about
what the question that came at you was.
That's number one. Think about that
question. Don't just start answering.
Fix it. if there's something wrong with
the question itself. Two, try to give a
simple answer and a simple explanation
first. A lot of people love to come with
the philosophical and big argument and
big words and keep it simple. All right?
Simple, you get everybody, right? So,
that's the other thing. Keep it simple.
And three, be direct. Be right to the
point. A lot of times you ask someone a
question and they'll go around telling
you a long story. No, answer my
question. Because it looks like you're
being evasive when you don't answer the
question. tell us some more common
questions that have people stumped and
they're actually easy to answer.
All right. Uh sometimes you need to
think you need to go a little bit you
know back to before that like for
example popular analogies people make
people will tell you like for example
we'll tell the trinity they'll compare
it to an egg. Yeah.
They'll tell you the trinity is like an
egg. It has the shell. It has the yolk
and it has the white. Three things one
egg.
This is when someone now you're talking
about monotheism. God is one, one, one.
And then they talk about three and they
try to make sense of it.
And they told the trinity is one. Yeah.
You told how could three be one? They
give you an example of an egg. It has
the shell, the white, the yolk, three
things, one egg.
The father, the son, the spirit, three
things, one god,
you know, but the problem is that you
know the in the in the trinity, the
triune God is physically separate. Yeah.
So if you have the the son physically on
earth, the father physically in the
heavens, the spirit wherever the spirit
may be, these are physical three
physical locations that are separate. If
we separate the ingredients of the egg,
it's not called an egg anymore. You
know, if I put the whiting over here,
the yolk over there, the shell over
there. When you see the shell, you're
going to say, "Hey, look, it's an
eggshell." You're not going to say,
"Look, that's an egg." You know,
so because you physically separated
them, they don't become one thing
anymore.
Yeah. And there's nothing on earth
that's physically separate and still
one. Here you can argue one in essence.
Like one time this I asked this one
person
he basically said, "Yeah, there three
and they're still one." So I said,
"Okay, if there are three bottles of
water on the table, how many bottles of
water are on the table?" They're three
physically separate. You can argue that
they're one in essence, that they're all
it's all plastic and it's all water,
but the reality is there are three
physically separate bottles of water.
Mhm.
You can't say it's all one, you know.
So, it it can't be if they're physically
separate that they're still one. So, the
analogy doesn't work. And the way you
would explain that question or that
analogy is that you just basically take
it apart because
it's an it's it's it's a wrong analogy.
You know, the the triune God according
to them is separate and this is
something that's together. Once you
separate this egg, it's not an egg
anymore. It's not one thing.
Okay, I've got a trickier one for you.
Yeah. They'll tell you, okay, it's
actually like water.
Yeah,
water is one thing, but it can be a
solid or a liquid or a gas.
So God the Father, the solid, the liquid
is the sun, and the gas the spirit.
Yeah,
it's water, but it's three,
you know, and actually it's I've heard,
you know, experienced duat going to
length to try to refute the water
analogy, but the analogy is really,
really simple.
Yeah.
People believe the trinity is three in
one, not one and three. Mhm.
Because if they say one and three,
they're admitting to worshiping three
gods. The trinity is according to them
three in one.
Yeah.
So you can't give me an an example of
one and three to explain three in one.
This the example of the water is one
thing water in three different states.
So you can't use an example of one and
three to explain three in one. So just
that's it. End of the story. We don't
need to go back and forth. That's it.
It's a wrong analogy. It doesn't work.
And we've actually used this with people
with missionaries with people who were
very wellversed in the Bible gave us
this example. We said sorry
you said it's three in one and now
you're giving me an example of one and
three.
Yeah.
End of story.
And our concept is that this is
obviously to refute the argument but
people don't even get into this
argument. It's just one. Leave it alone
at that.
Exactly. And and you know what one is
the easiest thing to comprehend. Yeah.
And it's it's the easiest thing for you
to understand. And it makes so much
sense to you.
If you try to go to a child now that's
six, seven, eight years old and you try
to tell them, "Look, God is one."
You could probably explain this in under
a minute.
Absolutely.
What if what if you try to do this whole
If you try to tell them there's seven or
or any other number like polytheism,
then that's one of the things that is
difficult to comprehend about
polytheism.
If somebody tells you there are seven
gods, all right.
Okay. Which one is the toughest one?
Maybe like that number one. All right,
I'll worship number one. Who cares about
the other five, the six? They're weak.
Yeah,
I'll worship the tough one. He'll take
care of me on the day of judgment.
All right. Or what if someone tells you,
well, they're all equal, but one of them
is a god of love. The other is a god of
anger. The other is the god of war.
Well, the god of anger, it's going to
take me a lot of time to make him happy.
I worship the god of love.
Yeah.
So then they could never be equal, you
know, because I'm just going to pick
this one, you know. So if someone says
no, they're absolutely equal in their
characteristics, in their descriptions,
then what if
75% of the people worship God number
three
and the others worship the the means he
now is not equal to the rest because
he's worshiped more than the others. So
there's the the concept of like having
more than one god. It it's actually
doesn't make sense and it's not easy to
digest. The concept of trinity is very
easy for people to understand. I sorry
the concept of which is one god very
easy to understand you tell people three
gods that are physically separate but
there's still one and then one of them
dies for three days and there's still
three and there's still one
just confusion trinity is just confusing
is man-made it's not something from the
divine
I'll tell you something Eddie okay and
and I'm not going on on a limb by saying
this there's nobody on the face of the
planet that totally understands trinity
meaning he he digests and fathoms the
concept there are people who believe in
very much so, but there's nobody who
totally understands it because it's a
concept that doesn't make sense. It
can't be something that's three and
separate, but still one.
Who was the one who started to really he
uh was going into this and the more he
went into it, he Aries?
Well, it was St. Athanius.
And the sad thing is that, you know, he
is known as, if you look him up, he's
known as the the father of the trinity
father.
And he says the more I think about it,
the more confused I become. So now if
he's the one who said that, now you're
going to come across like you figured it
out. You're lying to yourself.
And every analogy you come up with, it's
not going to work. There's nothing on
this planet that's physical physically
separate and still one.
Yeah.
It just doesn't work like that.
So when men, a few men come into a room
and they try to conspire and try to make
up something, a religion, they might get
them in some odd crazy way to fit with
them. Maybe, possibly, maybe not. But
try to sell it to the world. No way. But
the religion from the creator, the way
of life that the creator sends down, it
fits. It has to fit with everyone.
Absolutely. Worship one god alone submit
to him.
And that was the easy message of Jesus
himself. There's one God. That's it.
One God.
That's it. That's it. Tell us now some
people they'll argue the question, good
and evil, all loving God. What's up with
the evil? Talk to us.
Right. Uh actually just yesterday
someone kept saying why did Allah plan
for things to be like this? You know why
is it that a believer will suffer? Why
is it that there's agony when you die?
Why is it this? Why is it that? Why
didn't he Why did he do all of this? Put
us on earth. Why do we go through all
So, so this person basically now he's
asking a lot of why why why
and one of the one of the ways that you
can you can fix that. You can either
give analogies or you can give them the
floor. So I said, "Okay, how would you
do it?"
And no way they're going to come up with
a better plan than Allah's plan. is so
ask them say okay smart man smart woman
how would you do it now exactly what
would you do
saying there's why should we suffer why
should be there be suffering on earth
okay what do you want to happen then
like a lot of times non-Muslims would
ask me well if why does God allow bad
things to happen if there's a good guy
he's fixing his roof and he falls why
should he break his bones break so then
I asked him what do you want to happen
big mattress will suddenly appear
underneath him or a hand will catch him
and then nobody trips nobody falls
nobody gets cuts nobody Nobody gets any
kind of pain and so then nobody knows
the like when you don't know the pain
you don't know the sweetness of being in
good health and you don't you know the
opposites so you can appreciate it more
when you know the bad you appreciate the
good more so what do you want to to
happen here then they realize that well
then that means I want a life that's a
utopia and I want God to intervene in
everything nobody loses their car keys
nobody falls nobody dies nobody gets
hurt and that's not what the the point
is we have free will it's not supposed
to be like that so when you give them
the floor okay how do you think things
should be they immediately from the
first sentence start to make mistakes
because obviously they couldn't possibly
give you a better plan than the plan of
Allah obviously you know or sometimes
you'll just tell someone okay look this
is the reality what are you going to do
about it I mean one time this person was
telling me why did Allah create us so we
explain all right so but why then you
explain again why then you run out of
knowledge I mean we don't have infinite
knowledge I mean I can't tell you why
behind every plan Allah had. So I ran
out of knowledge.
Do you have do you have some some some
live examples or something where someone
would say well why this again it goes
back to why this innocent child had to
suffer or wars,
tsunamis, mudslides, right? Uh like well
first of all let me give you some
analogies where people will say why is
there evil on earth if God is so good?
So I'll tell them okay give me I will
stand out in the sun in broad daylight.
I'll give you a glass jar. give it back
to me full of darkness. Can you do that?
No.
They say no. Well, why not? Because
darkness doesn't exist in and of itself.
It only exists as a result of the lack
of something else which is light.
So, we tell them look evil, Allah didn't
command evil on earth. He commanded
good. But when we choose to disregard
the light of Allah, the guidance of
Allah, what happens?
You get darkness. And I told you it
works so well there. I mean, the last
time I tried it, someone was asking me
why is there evil? had given the analogy
with the darkness immediately it's like
okay I understand what you're saying
so they start to see that when we don't
follow the light of Allah the darkness
the evil comes you know or you can use
cold and
did you hear the the analogy of the
barber and the man who was uh cutting
his hair he came to the barber did you
hear that one
I think I did hear but I'm forgetting
you remember how maybe you can I heard
it a couple times but maybe you could
fill it in where he was they were having
a a debate back and forth and then the
the the uh question arose about the
existence of God. Then the I'm trying to
sum it up, make it quick. The barber who
was cutting his hair, he said, "God
doesn't exist." And he brought up the
argument about good and evil. How could
there be a God if all this evil? So the
um person who was getting his haircut,
he didn't want to argue. He left. Then
he came back and he said, "Well, look, I
don't believe in barbers." He said,
"How? You see, I'm I'm here." I said,
"Well, look at all those people out
there. Look at them. They're all shaggy
and you know dirty. He said well well
well yeah uh that's because they cho
they've chosen not to come to me. So now
he related this exactly you know this is
what happens when you go away from the
creator did
very yes yes I I read it and I totally
forgot it because so what what he did
here basically he got the man to to
recognize the existence of Allah or he
got them to think about it in a
different way by using some kind of
analogy or some kind of you know reality
from from the world that they're in
which is a technique also we got to cut
to a break we'll be right back on the de
show's
People say to me, "Why have you become a
Muslim?" No, I I give a very frivolous
answer. I say, "I want to be on the side
of the angels."
[Music]
Is a guy, he's the number one rap artist
in the world. He sold over 60 million
records worldwide.
60 million.
He was a young guy who had basically
everything that some of the youth would
think that life is all about. He had
everything you can imagine. All
[Music]
right, we're continuing on talking about
some of the questions. We covered the
analogies that people try to justify the
trinity which easily refuted. God is one
worship worship him alone. And we talked
about the good and evil and also there's
another common argument that people try
to make and they say, you know what,
religions are the cause of all the wars,
right?
I don't want to follow any organized
religion. I'm just going to basically
make my own religion. I mean, do my own
thing.
This is a case when when you would
refute such an argument using, you know,
using the reality, using history, using
science, using statistics, using facts.
The truth is this is not a true
statement. Many people will say it and
they constantly repeat it that don't
talk about religion. More people die
because of religion than anything else.
That's actually not true. And anyone
who's a history buff or not, you can
just basically go and get a list of all
known wars or named wars in recent
history or in past history and make a
list and see how many of them were 100%
because of religion. How many of them
were because of land or wealth or money
or taking over another people's
territory and they brought religion to
mix it in to give it flavor? How many
were just strictly because of scripture?
basically a Christian or a Muslim opened
up a book and said just go kill the
other guy simply because he's not from
your faith and you'll find that none of
them were actually like that. So when
you do the math, you find that millions
upon millions of people died fighting
over money, fighting over land. You
know, when we mentioned, you know, World
Wars one and two, in in World War II,
estimated about 55 to 60 million people
died. It didn't have anything to to do
with religion. It's true there was some
kind of ideology, but it had nothing to
do with religion. That's a large number
of people. I mean, 60 million people or
55 million people, that's not easy. It
had nothing to do with religion. So when
you do the math, you find that most
people don't die because of religion,
they die because of money. So then that
same guy who says, "I don't want to talk
about religion because a lot of people
die because of it." When he's
interviewed for a job, he should say
when they ask him, "How much do you want
to make in the company?" He said, "I
don't I don't want to talk about money
because most people die because of money
more than anything else." You see what
I'm saying? But they don't do that. But
the thing is, it's not true. It's
factually incorrect. You see, but it's
become so popular and many people
believe it. You know, you find it all
over the place.
Give us a a few examples of a few more
things. We're almost out of time. Some
of the other common arguments that are
easily refuted that you've come across.
Okay. Well, uh sometimes you you'll use
analogies to just kind of like you you
did with the barber and so on. There's
some popular ones about, you know, um
how did all of this earth come to
existence? You know, and if you're
walking in the desert and you see a
watch on the ground, you're not going to
assume that it just happened to gather
in that order, in that fantastically
organized way, and just be a
coincidence, you know. And so, it's also
ridiculous to assume that, you know,
order came out of chaos, some big bang,
then all this order and organized
structure came, that life came out of no
life, consciousness came out of no
consciousness. It's it's really too
much. And the thing is that most people
will tell you like that I believe in the
big bang theory. And this is when you
meet an atheist, you ask them, okay, how
do we come into existence if there is no
God? They tell you, we believe in the
big bang theory. And it's it's amazing
how quickly they they're shaken when you
tell them, do you know what a theory is?
I mean, are you basing your life
decision on a theory? You know, because
there are many evidences to the
existence of Allah. If you only look
though, and if you don't want to look,
you you won't see them at all. But
you're basing it on a theory. It's not
not even proven or anything of that
sort. But uh so many times, you know,
things are kind of crammed down our
throat as science when a lot of it is
conjecture. A lot of it is guesswork and
it's not really anything solid as
science. So bottom line is then uh the
answers are all there. No one has to
reinvent the wheel. But just just you
know you you look up your answers and
you package it in a way that's easy to
digest and easy to comprehend and no
need to make everything too complicated
and a big argument or a big debate. Tell
us now before we go real quick for those
people who are sincere who want to know
the truth what is at the end of the day
what should they strive towards and we
gave some common rebuttals to the
questions but what's it all about? What
are we trying to achieve at the end of
the day? At the end of the day, anyone
who believes that there is one God and
this same God is the one who sent all
the prophets before with the same basic
message that didn't change, the ten
commandments never change, worship the
one God never changed. This is the same
God that sent the prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam who is a
prophet of Islam who comes as a brother
to all the prophets and as a
continuation to their message. So anyone
and this is the basic most basic thing
that we want from people. If you believe
in Allah that he could have sent this
last messenger Muhammad in Arabia
sallallahu alaihi wasallam then you have
the ingredients of what it takes to
become a Muslim. That's the first step.
Then the other thing is don't worry
about that right now. I mean people
think if I become Muslim right now I
have to grow a beard immediately. Do I
have to dress like this? Do I have to
wear a hat? You don't have to do any of
that. First thing one God worthy of
worship and Muhammad his servant and his
messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
This is a beautiful way of life is the
way of life from the creator of the
heavens and earth. The way you get
peace. We started off with peace. We end
with peaceam. Peace be unto you.
And peace is something that money can't
buy. And the more you tune into the
show, if you have any
doubts about anything and you want them
cleared up, ask the one who created you.
It only be fair if he gave you the
answers. start to use the good old
common sense that he's given you the
tools that are within your very self and
you'll see that everything that he wants
you to do including worshiping him alone
and not his creation it just makes good
old common sense and I know that if
you've tuned in with an open heart and
open mind the things that we just
covered it just makes good old common
sense if you want to argue you can argue
about anything any time but if you want
to be sincere and you want to do what
God wants you to do. If you want to
submit to him on his terms, this is the
right course and the right direction to
take. Now, come back here every week.

God willing. Asalamkum. Peace be unto
you. You have to pray as if everything
depends on Allah and it does. But you
must work as if everything depends on
you and it doesn't. That's my point. You
see what I'm saying? And I don't like
that. I don't like us sitting here. What
are you waiting for? What are we waiting
for right now? What are we waiting for?
All these people to come to Islam. What
are we waiting for? What are we waiting
for right now? When they're going to
come, they're going to come. Allah going
to bring these people. Allah subhana wa
ta'ala put in our hand the ability to do
it now. Do your job.
