And we're taught in our book that we are definitely here for a 438 00:07:04,469 --> 00:07:04,479 that we are definitely here for a 439 00:07:04,479 --> 00:07:06,550 that we are definitely here for a purpose. That purpose is to get to know 440 00:07:06,550 --> 00:07:06,560 purpose. That purpose is to get to know 441 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,550 purpose. That purpose is to get to know who Allah is so we can worship him 442 00:07:08,550 --> 00:07:08,560 who Allah is so we can worship him 443 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,950 who Allah is so we can worship him because we will inevitably meet with 444 00:07:10,950 --> 00:07:10,960 because we will inevitably meet with 445 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,749 because we will inevitably meet with him, right?

Mhm. So what's the primary 450 00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:17,280 back to. Mhm. So what's the primary 451 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,629 back to. Mhm. So what's the primary difference now between Islam and 452 00:07:20,629 --> 00:07:20,639 difference now between Islam and 453 00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:23,189 difference now between Islam and Christianity the way of life the 454 00:07:23,189 --> 00:07:23,199 Christianity the way of life the 455 00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:25,189 Christianity the way of life the religion you were upon before? 456 00:07:25,189 --> 00:07:25,199 religion you were upon before? 457 00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:25,589 religion you were upon before? >> So 458 00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:25,599 >> So 459 00:07:25,599 --> 00:07:26,870 >> So >> because uh someone might say why don't 460 00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:26,880 >> because uh someone might say why don't 461 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,790 >> because uh someone might say why don't you just do the same thing and call 462 00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:28,800 you just do the same thing and call 463 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:29,830 you just do the same thing and call yourself a Christian 464 00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:29,840 yourself a Christian 465 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,870 yourself a Christian >> right? So there's nowhere in the in the 466 00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:32,880 >> right? So there's nowhere in the in the 467 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,230 >> right? So there's nowhere in the in the in the Bible for for instance that says 468 00:07:36,230 --> 00:07:36,240 in the Bible for for instance that says 469 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,270 in the Bible for for instance that says that we should uh worship Jesus that we 470 00:07:39,270 --> 00:07:39,280 that we should uh worship Jesus that we 471 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,510 that we should uh worship Jesus that we should carve him out and and and worship 472 00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:41,520 should carve him out and and and worship 473 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,710 should carve him out and and and worship him. Right? In our book the Quran we are 474 00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:44,720 him. Right? In our book the Quran we are 475 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,670 him. Right? In our book the Quran we are taught by every page to develop a 476 00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:47,680 taught by every page to develop a 477 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,070 taught by every page to develop a relationship with God Almighty. We're 478 00:07:50,070 --> 00:07:50,080 relationship with God Almighty. We're 479 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,150 relationship with God Almighty. We're called to have a relationship because 480 00:07:52,150 --> 00:07:52,160 called to have a relationship because 481 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,950 called to have a relationship because Allah is speaking about himself on every 482 00:07:54,950 --> 00:07:54,960 Allah is speaking about himself on every 483 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,150 Allah is speaking about himself on every page. And as Muslims, we believe in the 484 00:07:58,150 --> 00:07:58,160 page. And as Muslims, we believe in the 485 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,390 page. And as Muslims, we believe in the Bible, but we know and it's been 486 00:08:00,390 --> 00:08:00,400 Bible, but we know and it's been 487 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,990 Bible, but we know and it's been tampered with. We don't have the 488 00:08:01,990 --> 00:08:02,000 tampered with. We don't have the 489 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,790 tampered with. We don't have the original script, right? So in the way 490 00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:04,800 original script, right? So in the way 491 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,670 original script, right? So in the way that Christians practice, it doesn't 492 00:08:07,670 --> 00:08:07,680 that Christians practice, it doesn't 493 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,230 that Christians practice, it doesn't call us to have a unique relationship, a 494 00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:10,240 call us to have a unique relationship, a 495 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,950 call us to have a unique relationship, a direct relationship with God Almighty, 496 00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:12,960 direct relationship with God Almighty, 497 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,869 direct relationship with God Almighty, right? It tells us teaches us to 498 00:08:14,869 --> 00:08:14,879 right? It tells us teaches us to 499 00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:19,350 right? It tells us teaches us to compromise that and have a a intervening 500 00:08:19,350 --> 00:08:19,360 compromise that and have a a intervening 501 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,430 compromise that and have a a intervening um factor if you will through Jesus 502 00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:21,440 um factor if you will through Jesus 503 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,909 um factor if you will through Jesus Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, 504 00:08:23,909 --> 00:08:23,919 Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, 505 00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:25,830 Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, right?
