0:00:08.597,0:00:14.987 Al-Bayan, Discourses on the Qur'an[br]by Javed Ahmad Ghamidi 0:00:16.851,0:00:24.101 Surah Aal i Imran[br]Aayaat 77 to 91. 0:00:25.233,0:00:28.193 Gratitude is only for God,[br]the Lord of the World, 0:00:28.193,0:00:30.733 and may His peace and mercy[br]be on Muhammad, the trustworthy. 0:00:30.733,0:00:33.453 I seek refuge with God[br]from the accursed Devil. 0:00:33.453,0:00:35.563 In the Name of God, the Most Gracious,[br]the Ever Merciful. 0:00:35.563,0:00:39.563 Ladies and Gentlemen, We are resuming[br]the study of Surah Aal I Imran 0:00:39.563,0:00:41.703 from verse 77 in the Quran. 0:00:42.744,0:00:46.744 In the preceding verses, the Quran, [br]states that jews are mistaken 0:00:46.744,0:00:51.714 for holding that they have a special [br]place reserved for them by Allah, 0:00:51.714,0:00:54.714 due to which they consider [br]themselves superior to others. 0:00:54.714,0:00:57.974 And that the Jews are wrong in assuming [br]that God has kept them free 0:00:57.974,0:01:00.630 of any responsibility in relation to [br]the gentiles. 0:01:00.630,0:01:04.630 The Quran, addressing the Jews, clarified [br]that any rank given by Allah is only for 0:01:04.630,0:01:09.380 those who fulfill the covenant, and act [br]in accordance with the covenant 0:01:09.380,0:01:14.990 at any cost. The Quran terms it as [br]Taqwa (fear of God). 0:01:15.334,0:01:21.804 Those who will act like this will be pious[br]and devout, and God loves to be friends 0:01:21.804,0:01:26.854 with the pious people. Those who disregard[br]their promise to Allah, violate all limits 0:01:26.854,0:01:29.223 and reach a point of shamelessness and 0:01:29.223,0:01:32.473 even then claim to be God fearing [br]and beloved to God, 0:01:32.473,0:01:35.573 they are just merely imagining things[br]and this has no merit. 0:01:35.573,0:01:38.133 This is clarified in the preceding [br]verses of the Quran. 0:01:38.133,0:01:40.933 The Quran states:[br]Innallazeena yashtaroona bi aahdilleahi 0:01:41.192,0:01:47.402 Indeed, those who trade Allah’s covenant [br]and their oaths for a fleeting gain. 0:01:47.402,0:01:50.390 In the earlier verse, light was thrown [br]on those who are 0:01:50.390,0:01:51.330 God fearing. 0:01:51.330,0:01:55.330 Now, the Quran says that those [br]who trade Allah’s covenant and 0:01:55.330,0:01:57.430 their oaths for fleeting gain. 0:01:58.118,0:02:00.680 What is intended by this covenant? 0:02:00.680,0:02:05.168 It is evident that it's with regard to the[br]covenant made with the jews in relation 0:02:05.168,0:02:10.870 to God’s Shariah (Islamic Law) and the [br]advent of the Prophet (pbuh). 0:02:10.870,0:02:15.194 And with respect to the oaths; it is [br]mentioned in context to the oaths 0:02:15.194,0:02:18.144 with the Prophets by the jews 0:02:18.144,0:02:22.464 and in particular to help and [br]support the Prophet (pbuh). 0:02:23.138,0:02:27.138 These oaths will be mentioned [br]in verse 81. 0:02:27.752,0:02:31.297 We will learn about the nature of those [br]covenants when we read those verses. 0:02:31.297,0:02:33.362 Pointing towards those [br]verses, the Quran says: 0:02:33.362,0:02:36.242 Innallazeena yashtaroona bi aahdilleahi 0:02:36.242,0:02:40.242 Indeed, those who trade Allah’s covenant [br]and 0:02:40.242,0:02:45.932 va aymeanihim samanan kaaleelan[br]and trade their oaths for a fleeting gain. 0:02:46.532,0:02:49.882 The Quran stated that they think of [br]themselves as being beloved to God, 0:02:49.882,0:02:53.322 They think that they will secure a good[br]place with God 0:02:53.322,0:02:55.937 while trading Allah’s covenant and [br]oaths for fleeting gains. 0:02:55.937,0:02:59.937 ulaika la khalaakaa lahum feel akhırati 0:02:59.937,0:03:05.680 No matter how religiously they present [br]themselves, and think that they are 0:03:05.680,0:03:09.680 superior to others, they will have no [br]share in the Hereafter. 0:03:10.475,0:03:16.365 Those who keep Allah’s covenant and [br]oaths, the ones who have honest affairs 0:03:16.365,0:03:19.975 and act in accordance with the laws[br]of religion. 0:03:19.975,0:03:23.145 As against them, these kinds of people [br]have no share in the Hereafter. 0:03:23.145,0:03:25.445 ulaika lahum khalaaka lahum fil akhirati 0:03:25.445,0:03:30.675 The misconception that the jews have [br]that they are the beloved people of God 0:03:30.675,0:03:32.715 and that they will be treated specially … 0:03:33.280,0:03:35.800 In fact, there is no doubt that jews are [br]a special group of people 0:03:35.800,0:03:39.800 as stated in the Quran. [br]Jews were chosen by God, given a rank 0:03:39.800,0:03:43.800 and responsibility. Even after all this [br]the Quran states that the rank given 0:03:43.800,0:03:46.470 to the jews was based on merit, it [br]was given with a purpose and 0:03:46.470,0:03:50.795 has its own limitations; it is not like [br]the jews will forever enjoy the rank 0:03:50.795,0:03:55.105 and its status - while they do no justice[br]to the responsibility delegated to them. 0:03:55.105,0:03:59.115 There is no possibility of it.[br]ulaika la khalaaka lahum fil akhirati 0:03:59.439,0:04:03.439 They are the ones who will have no share [br]in the Hereafter. 0:04:03.671,0:04:08.327 wa la yukallimu humullah [br]Allah will not speak to them 0:04:08.327,0:04:09.777 on the Day of resurrection. 0:04:10.186,0:04:13.806 They are the ones who are rejected [br]in the court of Allah… 0:04:13.806,0:04:18.311 In reality, this is the outcome of [br]Laanah (Driven out of Gods mercy). 0:04:18.311,0:04:21.138 In our terminology Laanat is used as [br]an expletive. 0:04:21.138,0:04:24.480 It actually means to drive out [br]someone from Gods mercy. 0:04:24.480,0:04:28.300 la yukalimu humullah [br]Allah will not speak to them on the 0:04:28.300,0:04:32.300 Day of resurrection [br]wa la yanzur ilaihi yaumal Qiyamah 0:04:33.110,0:04:37.110 God will not look at them with kindness [br]on the Day of Resurrection. 0:04:37.649,0:04:43.539 Like you say, God will not even like to [br]see them or look at them with kindness. 0:04:43.539,0:04:47.539 va laa yuzakkeehim. And God will not [br]exonerate them of their sins 0:04:48.114,0:04:52.773 va lahum azabun aleem [br]and for them there is a painful torment. 0:04:54.708,0:04:58.388 As the Quran states that they will not [br]be exonerated of their sins. 0:04:58.388,0:05:00.188 What is the meaning of it? 0:05:00.188,0:05:04.188 It means that they have committed grave [br]offences for which there is little scope 0:05:04.188,0:05:06.460 of punishment and reward. 0:05:06.460,0:05:11.700 It is evident from the verse that when [br]the sins are so grave… 0:05:11.700,0:05:17.632 May Allah guide us towards good, so that [br]an individual may enter the paradise 0:05:17.632,0:05:19.342 in the very first instance. 0:05:19.342,0:05:23.342 From this verse we understand that there [br]can be certain transgressions that are ... 0:05:23.635,0:05:27.526 If an individual cannot rectify his [br]offenses through good deeds, 0:05:27.526,0:05:31.572 Allah removes the remnants of any [br]wrongdoing by a punishment, 0:05:31.572,0:05:35.200 because it is necessary to enter heaven [br]purified. Quran mentioned that 0:05:35.200,0:05:37.510 they will not even reach this purity. 0:05:37.510,0:05:40.410 va lahum aazaabun aleem [br]for them there is a painful torment. 0:05:40.410,0:05:46.710 It is evident from this verse that, [br]how great a sin it is 0:05:46.710,0:05:54.519 to break Allah’s Covenant, break promises [br]and willingly deny the truth. 0:05:54.519,0:05:58.159 This is a great wrongdoing in [br]relation to the Prophet (pbuh) and 0:05:58.159,0:06:00.686 it is also an offense in any other [br]circumstances. 0:06:01.214,0:06:03.151 The Quran has explicitly detailed it out. 0:06:03.151,0:06:06.951 The Quran has made an analogy in the [br]last two verses and stated that, 0:06:06.951,0:06:10.351 in normal circumstances the jews [br]have immensely degraded themselves, 0:06:10.351,0:06:12.610 that is the reason for breaking 0:06:12.610,0:06:14.631 Allah’s covenant and their oaths [br]for a fleeting gain. 0:06:14.631,0:06:18.571 Therefore, the purification of man's moral[br]will become a reason for 0:06:18.571,0:06:21.631 God's kind attention towards him[br]in the hereafter. 0:06:21.631,0:06:25.631 and if these people have good intentions,[br]true faith in God, 0:06:25.631,0:06:31.581 trying to be a pious Muslim and do not [br]willingly deny the truth by God, 0:06:31.581,0:06:33.641 but commited certains other offences. 0:06:33.915,0:06:37.915 In that case, a glad tiding was received [br]that Allah would warn and punish them 0:06:37.915,0:06:39.497 but eventually wash them of their [br]transgressions. 0:06:39.894,0:06:41.869 And then they can enter heaven. 0:06:41.869,0:06:44.131 This is what has been explained in [br]the Hadiths. 0:06:44.131,0:06:48.131 This is the real crux, but many-a-times [br]the narrators try to portray 0:06:48.131,0:06:50.610 this in a very different style, which [br]changes its real meaning. 0:06:50.610,0:06:52.511 This is what the Quran has explained. 0:06:52.703,0:06:55.703 The Quran states: Wa inna minhum [br]lafaree qany yalwoona 0:06:55.703,0:06:56.703 alsinatahum bil Kitaabi [br]litahsaboohu minal Kitaab 0:06:56.703,0:07:00.703 And there are some among them who 0:07:00.703,0:07:04.703 while reading the Book of God [br]twist their tongues 0:07:04.703,0:07:07.653 litahsaboohu minal Kitaab 0:07:07.653,0:07:13.722 so that you may think that what [br]they are reading 0:07:13.942,0:07:14.942 is written in the Book whereas [br]it is not written in it. 0:07:15.163,0:07:21.530 Just imagine to what extent people [br]and communities can degrade. 0:07:22.740,0:07:25.604 If you try to connect it with the previous[br]verses, 0:07:25.759,0:07:29.759 you will understand that these words [br]carry extreme displeasure and 0:07:29.759,0:07:32.629 hate from Allah for these people. 0:07:34.900,0:07:38.900 Allah gave them a status and [br]treated them accordingly… 0:07:38.900,0:07:40.683 Post that they were, indeed, [br]deserving of this punishment. 0:07:41.161,0:07:45.161 As Allah explains that neither would He [br]look at them with kindness, 0:07:45.161,0:07:46.881 nor interlocutor with them. 0:07:46.881,0:07:50.881 nor will Allah [br]purify them of their sins 0:07:50.881,0:07:53.123 so that they could enter heaven. 0:07:53.123,0:07:55.582 They will live in this torment forever. 0:07:55.582,0:07:58.450 If you try to understand their unique[br]status; 0:07:58.450,0:08:02.450 I even gave an example to help you [br]get the point across that when the 0:08:02.450,0:08:05.450 wives of the Prophet (pbuh) were chosen [br]for this office. 0:08:05.450,0:08:06.450 They were designated an office[br]at a very unique juncture 0:08:06.450,0:08:10.450 and it was made clear to them [br]that now their reward and 0:08:10.450,0:08:11.910 punishment would both be [br]doubled. 0:08:11.910,0:08:15.910 In other words, when you are chosen for [br]office and you decide to take charge willingly 0:08:15.910,0:08:19.400 then you must be ready to shoulder the [br]responsibilities. 0:08:19.697,0:08:20.837 The Quran says: 0:08:22.127,0:08:24.267 There are some among them… 0:08:24.267,0:08:28.267 It is obvious that it is similar to [br]the interpretation that if they 0:08:28.267,0:08:30.787 want to escape from [br]responsibilities 0:08:30.787,0:08:33.157 of the covenants of God, then how do [br]they distort the Book? 0:08:33.157,0:08:34.997 There are two aspects of it. 0:08:34.997,0:08:36.397 One you alter the book and its meaning. 0:08:36.397,0:08:39.171 Another way out is that since majority [br]of the people are illiterate, 0:08:39.171,0:08:42.411 therefore, you distort the book with [br]by slightly twisting the text and 0:08:42.411,0:08:46.411 change the meaning of the verse [br]in its entirety. 0:08:47.196,0:08:50.596 In other words, you did not alter the words but [br]distorted the meaning with your tongue, 0:08:50.596,0:08:51.936 that is what has been mentioned here. 0:08:51.936,0:08:54.606 There are people who while reading[br]the book of Allah 0:08:54.606,0:08:57.696 yalwoona alsinatahum bil Kitaabi 0:08:57.696,0:09:02.486 There are some among them who [br]distort the Book with their tongues 0:09:02.486,0:09:02.986 that is, they enunciate the[br]text of the book in such a manner 0:09:02.986,0:09:03.486 that you think that whatever they[br]are reading 0:09:03.486,0:09:08.536 li taahsaboohu minal kiteabi to make [br]you think this ˹distortion˺ 0:09:08.536,0:09:14.736 is from the Book va mea huva minal [br]kiteab but it is not what the Book says. 0:09:15.214,0:09:18.724 va yakooloona hu va min indilleahi that [br]you may consider it to be 0:09:18.724,0:09:19.854 of the Book from God, 0:09:19.854,0:09:23.370 wa maa huwa min 'indillaahi [br]even though it is not from God. 0:09:23.370,0:09:24.370 In other words, they ascribe to god [br]whereas it is not from god but them 0:09:24.370,0:09:29.387 wa yaqooloona 'alal laahil kaziba [br]wa hum ya'lamoon 0:09:29.387,0:09:34.267 [in this manner] they deliberately [br]ascribe falsehood to God. 0:09:34.595,0:09:38.595 The crime that has been mentioned here [br]has been perpetrated 0:09:38.595,0:09:41.746 by both jews and christians. In the [br]earlier chapter of Al-Bakara, 0:09:42.390,0:09:46.390 it was detailed out how jews and [br]christains alters and twist the meaning 0:09:46.390,0:09:47.830 of the word MARWA with their tongues. 0:09:47.830,0:09:51.830 The word “Marwa” was used when [br]Prophet Abraham (pbuh) was asked 0:09:51.830,0:09:55.455 to sacrifice Prophet Ismael, his son. 0:09:55.455,0:09:59.455 Apart from other alterations to this [br]incident of sacrifice not only did the jews 0:09:59.455,0:10:04.516 add the name of Prophet Isaac but also [br]ruined the pronunciation of the word Marwa. 0:10:04.516,0:10:07.819 So, this is the type of alteration that has [br]been mentioned here in this verse, 0:10:07.819,0:10:11.819 ​​that you alter the meaning of a word in [br]order to divert people's attention 0:10:11.819,0:10:16.649 to a different topic while concealing the [br]real meaning. In order to conceal 0:10:16.649,0:10:21.279 the fact that Prophet Abraham (pbuh) [br]came to Arab, 0:10:21.279,0:10:26.689 build the house of God, his lineage was [br]floriesed in the soil and also 0:10:26.689,0:10:29.530 about the incident of Ismael’s [br]sacrifice, therefore, 0:10:29.530,0:10:33.899 anticipating the outcomes of how it[br]could relate to the advent of Prophet (pbuh), 0:10:33.899,0:10:35.719 jews manipulated the word Marwa. 0:10:35.719,0:10:38.463 This is an example of how they concealed [br]the facts in history, 0:10:38.463,0:10:41.363 so as to disassociate the relation of [br]Prophet Abraham with the house of God. 0:10:41.363,0:10:42.763 This is just an example that [br]I have quoted… 0:10:42.763,0:10:45.763 This is what has been explained here… 0:10:45.763,0:10:48.297 It is explained that even in the case [br]of the Prophet (pbuh), 0:10:48.297,0:10:50.147 when they are unfair, they can go [br]down to any level. 0:10:50.147,0:10:51.867 People used to go to the [br]Prophet (pbuh)... 0:10:51.867,0:10:54.955 when the Quran repeatedly mentioned [br]about the foretelling, 0:10:54.955,0:10:56.885 people used to go to the Prophet (pbuh) [br]and 0:10:56.885,0:10:59.275 ask him about the foretelling mentioned [br]in the Quran. 0:10:59.275,0:11:02.495 This is how the Quran has captured the [br]scene of what their 0:11:02.495,0:11:03.555 religious leaders used to do. 0:11:03.555,0:11:05.535 This is what has been mentioned [br]in the Quran, 0:11:05.535,0:11:09.750 that they would distort the real facts [br]and alter the meaning of it, 0:11:09.750,0:11:11.165 to convey it as the book of God, but [br]it is not from the book. 0:11:11.165,0:11:14.335 They would give you and impression, [br]that it is from the book of God, 0:11:14.335,0:11:19.755 when it is not. The Quran stated: [br]Mea keana li basharin an 0:11:19.755,0:11:23.755 yu’tiyahulleahul kiteaba val hukma [br]van nubuvvata summa yakoola 0:11:23.755,0:11:27.495 lin neasi koonoo ıbeadan lee min [br]doonilleahi 0:11:27.495,0:11:32.875 The Quran says that: Not only do they[br]speak a lie against Prophet (pbuh), 0:11:32.875,0:11:36.875 they dont even think that It is [br]not appropriate 0:11:36.875,0:11:42.485 for someone that Allah will bless[br]him with the Scripture, wisdom, 0:11:42.485,0:11:44.305 to decide according to that. 0:11:44.305,0:11:47.255 yu’tiyahulleahul kiteaba val hukma 0:11:47.255,0:11:50.235 decide according to the wisdom, 0:11:50.235,0:11:54.235 wan nubuvvata and bestow him with [br]prophethood summa yakoola 0:11:54.235,0:11:59.975 lin neasi koonoo ıbeadan lee min [br]doonilleahi “Worship me instead of Allah.” 0:12:00.352,0:12:04.352 How is it possible? Since, Christians are [br]addressed in this verse, 0:12:04.839,0:12:08.839 How is it possible that God sent down [br]his book to the Christians, 0:12:08.839,0:12:12.839 and guided them as to decide in the [br]religious matter in accordance 0:12:12.839,0:12:15.699 with the book of God and even appointed [br]from him for the status of Prophethood. 0:12:15.699,0:12:19.699 And instead of inviting people to worship [br]God, how could Jesus propagate 0:12:19.699,0:12:22.199 his own worship instead? [br]How is it possible? 0:12:22.659,0:12:29.559 God says, it cannot be. Christian cannot [br]say: koonoo ıbeadan lee min doonilleahi 0:12:29.559,0:12:32.459 Be servants to me apart from Allah, [br]No! 0:12:32.824,0:12:33.824 He would rather say: 0:12:34.189,0:12:38.189 va leakin koonoo raabbeaniyyeena bi mea [br]kuntum tuaallimoonal kiteaba 0:12:39.171,0:12:41.531 but rather say “be Godly servants”. 0:12:42.169,0:12:44.919 Why would he (christian) ask you to [br]be his servant, rather he would ask you 0:12:44.919,0:12:46.649 to be raabbeani (Godly servants). 0:12:46.892,0:12:52.852 The word raabbeani means worshipper [br]of God (Godly servants). 0:12:52.852,0:12:55.112 Same is the meaning of Maulvi in [br]our society. 0:12:55.112,0:12:59.952 It is indeed a beautiful word, 0:12:59.952,0:13:05.252 but a wrong interpretation of this word[br]has led us to this point. 0:13:05.945,0:13:09.945 Infact, we learn from the Quran that the [br]religious scholars of christians were 0:13:09.945,0:13:11.850 reffered to as “Rabbanni”. 0:13:11.850,0:13:13.435 Like we use the term “Mualivi” for our [br]religious leaders, 0:13:13.435,0:13:14.725 its roots are in the word “Maula”. 0:13:14.725,0:13:16.955 Similarly, Rabbani word in rooted in [br]the word “Rab”. 0:13:16.955,0:13:20.955 So, this word was used in context of [br]worshipper of God, Godly servants. 0:13:21.699,0:13:24.330 The Quran say: This is what the Prophet [br]would preach. 0:13:24.330,0:13:28.330 The Quran also mentions that the Prophet [br]would never mention as 0:13:28.330,0:13:31.700 to a specific number of people to [br]become Maulvi (religious scholar) or 0:13:31.700,0:13:34.460 Rabbani (worshipper of God). He would [br]invite everyone to worship God. 0:13:34.460,0:13:38.481 bi mea kuntum tuaallimoonal kiteaba [br]but [instead, he would say], 0:13:38.481,0:13:41.110 "Be pious scholars of the Lord because [br]of what you have taught 0:13:41.110,0:13:42.611 of the Scripture and because of what [br]you have studied." 0:13:42.611,0:13:44.501 va bimea kuntum tadrusoon[br] 0:13:44.501,0:13:49.951 but he will surely say, “Be sincere [br]worshippers of Allah, 0:13:49.951,0:13:54.110 because you teach the Book and [br]you preach from it.” 0:13:54.110,0:13:59.971 Va lea ya’murakum an tattahizool [br]maleaikata van nabiyyeena arbeabea 0:13:59.971,0:14:05.741 And he would never ask you to take angels [br]and prophets as lords. 0:14:06.354,0:14:10.354 He would never ask you. he would never [br]ask you to take angels and 0:14:10.354,0:14:13.520 prophets as lords. 0:14:13.520,0:14:17.520 a ya’murukum bil kufri baa’da iz [br]antum muslimoon 0:14:17.309,0:14:22.569 Would he ask you to disbelieve after [br]you have submitted? 0:14:22.900,0:14:28.600 The Quran, while addressing the common [br]sense of jews, christians and 0:14:28.600,0:14:29.700 even quraish of Mecca, 0:14:29.700,0:14:33.770 rather everyone was made aware of [br]the fact that the rules of God which 0:14:33.770,0:14:37.130 you consider as your foundational [br]parameters. 0:14:37.130,0:14:39.250 You should never do that. 0:14:39.250,0:14:42.450 How can you associate a Prophet with [br]God, the Prophet only come to 0:14:42.450,0:14:44.820 call people to Iman which commands [br]worshiping Allah Alone without partners. 0:14:44.820,0:14:47.881 The Prophet would never ask his followers[br]to disbelieve after they learn about the truth. 0:14:48.433,0:14:50.783 And if you ever come across something [br]like this, 0:14:50.783,0:14:56.843 never accept it to be from a legitimate [br]source or it is from God himself. 0:14:57.595,0:15:01.595 After going through something like this, [br]you must be well aware that 0:15:01.595,0:15:04.875 this is nothing but the alteration of the[br]meaning and verses 0:15:04.875,0:15:06.165 by people who went astray. 0:15:06.165,0:15:07.505 No Prophet can invite you to this [br]sort of religion. 0:15:07.505,0:15:10.625 Look how there is an assay-balance [br]explained in the Quran. 0:15:10.625,0:15:14.625 The one who has the book of God, the [br]one who has been blessed with 0:15:14.625,0:15:18.625 the abilities to better comprehend and [br]decide on religious matters in 0:15:18.625,0:15:20.325 accordance with the book of God. 0:15:20.325,0:15:22.697 The one who would be stationed at the [br]position of prophethood. 0:15:22.697,0:15:24.197 What would he say to the people? 0:15:24.197,0:15:27.022 He would always guide people that invite [br]them to the right path 0:15:27.022,0:15:28.967 of Tawhid (oneness of God). Only Tawhid, [br]nothing more than that. 0:15:28.967,0:15:31.857 He would never ask people to submit [br]and worship him instead of God. 0:15:31.857,0:15:33.427 He would never boast about himself. 0:15:33.427,0:15:37.427 The one having the knowledge of the [br]book would never exaggerate 0:15:37.427,0:15:39.117 and boast about the angels [br]and Prophets. 0:15:39.117,0:15:43.117 He would only invite you to say one thing [br]and that tawheed, the Oneness of God. 0:15:43.117,0:15:47.117 Allah says in the Quran, If you come [br]across anything that is contrary 0:15:47.117,0:15:51.047 to the oneness of God, then that is not [br]from God, but fabrication of the message. 0:15:51.047,0:15:54.867 It is not possible that after inviting you[br]to Islam and the oneness of God, 0:15:54.867,0:15:57.897 the Prophet word then ask you to [br]make partners with God. 0:15:57.897,0:16:00.817 It ia not possible that the Prophet [br]would first invite you 0:16:00.817,0:16:04.277 to the religion of God that is Islam and [br]then asked you to worship him instead. 0:16:04.277,0:16:07.687 This was the equilibrium that was put [br]forth to the jews, 0:16:07.687,0:16:12.747 if you read Torah, Bible even today, [br]you will find them supporting 0:16:12.747,0:16:14.647 the oneness of God in entirety. 0:16:15.093,0:16:19.093 You can better comprehend this [br]statement which is explained 0:16:19.093,0:16:23.093 here in context, only when you will [br]understand that since, 0:16:23.093,0:16:27.093 you have the books of your Prophets [br]with you. Do you ever see that 0:16:27.093,0:16:29.543 the Prophet is inviting people to [br]worship him? 0:16:29.543,0:16:31.783 Or give the status of God to someone? 0:16:32.247,0:16:38.257 Then how do you believe in it? if Jesus [br]himself propagated the Oneness of God, 0:16:38.612,0:16:42.612 stressed on Iman and good deeds, [br]and make this as a foundation 0:16:42.612,0:16:44.532 of invitation towards the right path. 0:16:44.532,0:16:48.532 Even after thousands of years Torah, 0:16:48.532,0:16:50.442 revealed by Prophet Moses (pbuh) [br]preachers the same facts 0:16:50.442,0:16:53.228 about the Oneness of God, how is it [br]possible than 0:16:53.228,0:16:56.103 when the religious scholars try to [br]explain the preaching 0:16:56.103,0:16:58.379 This is what has been stressed over [br]here. 0:16:58.379,0:17:03.759 Is it possible that first the Prophet [br](pbuh) would work hard all his life 0:17:03.759,0:17:07.129 to invite people to the religion Islam and[br]then ask them to submit to him 0:17:07.129,0:17:08.199 and worship him instead? 0:17:08.199,0:17:15.419 It is not possible, When you analyze two [br]aspects of it, one what the Prophet (pbuh) 0:17:15.419,0:17:19.855 taught us and second what is being done [br]after the Prophet (pbuh), 0:17:19.855,0:17:22.055 This is what is being discussed here in [br]the verse of the Quran. 0:17:22.055,0:17:23.775 you will gain a deeper understanding [br]of it. 0:17:23.775,0:17:24.825 This is what is being explained [br]over here. 0:17:24.825,0:17:26.015 This is what is being stated in the Quran: 0:17:26.015,0:17:27.743 a ya’murukum bil kufri baa’da iz antum [br]muslimoon, 0:17:27.743,0:17:30.973 the Prophet (pbuh) invited people towards [br]the religion of Islam, 0:17:30.973,0:17:33.253 towards the onesness of God. 0:17:33.253,0:17:35.783 Even today this invitation towards the [br]right path is clearly stated 0:17:35.783,0:17:39.783 in the book of God. Then did the Prophet [br](pbuh) proclaim that he has 0:17:39.783,0:17:43.783 attained Godly powers, or there are [br]some attributes of God 0:17:43.783,0:17:45.063 that are manifested in him? 0:17:45.063,0:17:47.323 Did the Prophet (pbuh) ever announce [br]that he has received the divine powers? 0:17:47.323,0:17:51.323 When did the Prophet (pbuh) ever say [br]something like this that you are saying 0:17:51.323,0:17:53.685 to people after He is gone? 0:17:54.563,0:17:56.170 This is what has been mentioned [br]in the Quran. 0:17:56.170,0:18:00.170 You will better comprehend this when [br]you will compare the 0:18:00.170,0:18:04.170 meaning of the word muslimoon with [br]ya’murukum bil kufri. 0:18:04.352,0:18:06.839 How is it possible? When the Prophet [br](pbuh) himself proclaimed 0:18:06.839,0:18:10.839 about the oneness of God and stood [br]by it throughout His life. 0:18:10.839,0:18:14.839 How is it possible that He might have [br]said something of this sort, 0:18:14.839,0:18:17.829 that you claim the Prophet (pbuh) has [br]mentioned about his own divinity. 0:18:17.829,0:18:21.829 How is it possible that the Prophet (pbuh)[br]first presented himself 0:18:21.829,0:18:26.899 as the servant of God and preached [br]about Iman and Tawhiid, 0:18:26.899,0:18:29.329 as in accordance with the verses of [br]the Quran. 0:18:29.329,0:18:33.329 And then in no time we came to [br]know different stories of a completely 0:18:33.329,0:18:35.605 different perspective about the Prophet [br](pbuh) attaining the virtue of divinity. 0:18:35.605,0:18:38.075 While inviting people to Islam, was the [br]Prophet (pbuh) asking people 0:18:38.075,0:18:39.275 to unbelief after they became Muslim. 0:18:39.275,0:18:42.845 This is what has been mentioned in this [br]term a ya’murukum bil kufri baa’da 0:18:42.845,0:18:48.034 iz antum muslimoon Would he ask you [br]to disbelieve after you have submitted? 0:18:48.293,0:18:50.953 The Messenger of Allah can never do [br]something like this. 0:18:50.953,0:18:53.733 The Prophet (pbuh) only invites people [br]to Tawhiid and preaches about 0:18:53.733,0:18:55.452 the oneness of God till the end. 0:18:56.178,0:18:58.768 Va iz ahaazaalleahu meeseakaan nabiyyeena 0:18:58.768,0:19:04.088 [O Prophet!
