this is the de the
de this is
the is the
theah alhamdulillah peace be with you
we're starting with peace that's what
Islam is all about the way of life that
cause you to submit to the one God the
creator of all that exists to have peace
with your creator peace within yourself
then you can have peace with everyone
around you but you got to do a what you
got to do a Jihad A what that's right
you got to struggle to do that you got
to struggle to submit because it's easy
to submit to your lower inclinations
that a lot of times it's not good for
you you want to go chase that man or
woman outside of marriage you got to do
a Jihad against that to stop that you
might want to UT utter a curse word
something that's really should not be
coming out of your mouth you got to do a
Jihad against that Islam is calling you
to do a Jihad yes but there's something
that's been attri attributed to it it's
synonymous now is it with terrorism
terrifying people things blowing up or
the opposite you're about to learn the
truth here on the dean show with my next
guest we got a surprise for you don't go
nowhere this is the dean
[Music]
the is
the this is the this is the D
this is
the this is
the this is the this is
the
the this is
the this is the
the this is
the is the dean show assalam alaykum
peace be with you
peace be unto you too thank you for
joining us now let me tell you something
there are many people that have this
title I think you're qualified CU other
people they use the same title so but
you prefer not to be called by shik or
mulana or Muti you got the knowledge you
prefer just to be called brother Imran
so I'm going call you brother Imran
mashallah yeah brother and I prefer
being called as the student for Islam
and comparative religion I think that's
the greatest honor to be a student of
knowledge forever mallah mashallah
masallah God will it and we started with
peace I started a show of peace is it
true that Jesus and all the prophets
they also started their greetings with
this when they greeted each other with
peace be unto you of course if you read
the Bible you will find that when Jesus
he greets his disciples he says alayum
and that is a Hebrew connotation very
close to the Islamic Arabic
term which means may peace be unto all
of youah and that's very deep and we
want peace first first and foremost with
the creator of the heavens and earth
very true so we can have peace within
ourselves because a lot of people aren
on Xanax they're restless and they're
nervous cuz they don't have that peace
so this show is about promoting peace
people to come to this realization that
there is a purpose in life and the best
one to tell you is the creator of the
heavens and earth so then you can have
and you can be living purpose then you
can have peace but a lot of times you
know what what distracts people is the
desire the desire now to want this and
want that things that aren't good for
you drugs alcohol gambling all the bad
things so you got to do a Jihad against
these things but now people have taken
this beautiful word Jihad and they're
scaring people with it they think Jihad
is synonymous with terrorism killing
innocent babies killing innocent people
so you're here on the show to clear up
the fog to clear up the false fallacies
and misconceptions and explain to us
really what is Jihad
respected brother Eddie and all my dear
viewers I once again welcome all of you
with the Islamic greetings assalamu
alayum meaning May the peace mercy and
blessings of Almighty God Allah subhana
tala be on all of you mallah you have
asked a very important question on a
very important subject in the modern
scenario the Arabic word Jihad is
unfortunately being misunderstood by a
lot of people being misrepresented by a
certain section of the media worldwide
it's being
mistaken especially by a large section
of the non-muslim
society considering Jihad as a holy war
a war against the non-muslims this is
very unfortunate see there is a saying
there is a popular saying in English
it's not the activeness of the Rascals
that spoils the society it's the
inactiveness of the good people that
spoils it say that again it's a nice
it's not the activeness of the Rascals
The Rascals like the Mischief Makers the
Mischief
Makers it's not the activeness of these
Mischief mongers that spoil the society
it's the inactiveness of the good people
like us the Muslims who aren't inviting
the non-muslims to Islam not educating
them about the right concept of Islam
and that is causing all the problems in
the world today so true so it's very
important that we need to educate the
people around us we need to go out not
isolate ourselves from others and at a
time when this word has become a synonym
to terrorism it becomes the duty of
everyone of us to go out to our
non-muslim brothers and sisters and
educate them that Jihad is something
that even you do every human being does
Jihad you see the Arabic word Jihad is
derived from two root words jahada and
Jad it means to stri strive for
something and to strive against
something a student when he's preparing
for his exams he's doing Jihad he is
striving for scoring good marks a
student in school of course when a
student prepares for the exams he is
doing Jihad he is striving for scoring
big marks and a policeman when he is
trying to catch a culprit when he is
trying to arrest a criminal when he's
trying to maintain the law and order the
policeman is doing Jihad against a
criminal so if you say the Arabic word
Jihad would literally mean to strive for
something or to strive against something
as far as Islam is concerned when it
comes with the Islamic connotation in it
as an Islamic terminology the Arabic
word Jihad simply means to strive for
all that Allah commanded as good the
almighty God commanded as good to the
entire human humanity and it means to
strive against all which Allah
considered as evil for the human beings
and of course the almighty God being our
creator has the best right to dictate
terms to the man what he has to do and
what he hasn't required to do what he
should not do so that is very important
so Jihad is a pure concept of striving
for something good and striving against
that is evil and every good is
beneficial to the Mankind and every evil
at one stage of your life will destroy
the human population so that is what is
Jihad and we truly need to understand it
in a little broader or in a little more
classified perspective so that is how I
would put the word Jihad as an
explanation initially I think look what
you just said is brilliant it's the fact
it's not fiction and you define this
word and just by defining the word Jihad
and you gave a wonderful eloquent
example about a student doing Jihad not
to cut school not to go ahead and be
with bad influences being on time to
clock it's a Jihad it's a struggle and
the policeman against the criminal doing
Jihad beautiful there's one thing also I
want to before we go to break there's a
lot of times I don't let people get away
with this so I'm not going to let you
have any special uh exceptions you said
something in Arabic in the beginning we
got a lot of not yet Muslims people who
everyone has a potential to submit to
the one guy many have after
alhamdulillah watching the show so just
so don't think you just work a spell on
them you say something in Arabic what
did you say yeah I just began when I
said alhamdulillah it would mean all
Praises are for Allah the creator of the
universe the cherisher of the universe
May the peace and salutations be on the
Beloved Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wasallam and on his
family and all his Muslim companions the
male and female Muslim companions that
is the
sah and then I recited an ayat of the
Quran from Surah Bak Surah number two
ayat number 208 where Allah subhana tala
reminds the
Muslims oh you who claim you are Muslims
enter into Islam completely and
perfectly not just on Ramadan yeah not
just in Ramadan not just by claiming not
just a mouth lip service yeah but do it
in actions because if you do it in
action then the peace will spread then
the people will understand okay this is
a religion of Peace so that is what I
recited oh you who believe enter into
Islam wholeheartedly and do not follow
the footsteps of Shan for very it is an
open enemy unto you that's theil that
was the message I gave in Arabic from
Surah bakah two aty number 208 that is
what I beautiful beautiful so he didn't
work no no uh made a I made a Dua of M
he made a a supplication praise God
beautiful beautiful supplication you
know it
says Oh Our Lord open our breast for US
Open my breast for me ENC made me a
person of Courage expand my breast with
knowledge whyly and make the task with
which I am here easy for
me remove any impediment in my speech
any obstruction in my speech to convey
the
truth and open the minds of my listeners
and the viewers to understand the
message I passing on to them amazing
amazing you're learning so much here on
the dean show and God willing you going
to learn some more don't go
nowhere I would go to my room lock the
door prostrate and cry saying God you
know me better than myself show me the
right way and I will not look back I
will leave everything
behind Allah is our creator and he
creates everything and he gives
intelligence to
people muhamad pleas be upon Muhammad is
one of the last Messengers and from
God back here on the dean show with
brother
Imran alhamdulillah all praise to the
creator of the heavens and earth that's
honored us here with your presence thank
you for finding time to be with us on
the dean show we're talking about Jihad
so you also mentioned people say
Jihad and then they put next to it holy
war is Jihad of holy war absolutely very
important question and a very major
misunderstanding that was propagated by
the orientalists against Islam you would
be wondering that according to the Times
magazine a very popular magazine in the
US dated 16th April 1979 it states that
in 150 years alone that is between 1800
Christian era to 1950 Christian era
60,000 books were written against Islam
60,000 60,000 and if you calculate it by
the number of days in these 150 years it
would be more than one book being
written per day against Islam and
sometimes I say to some people back in
my public talks I say if that would have
happened with any other ISM on the world
in the world that ISM would have become
a museum piece by now you would have be
vanished yeah I mean if the children
would ask what was this you will have to
take them to the museum to show but it's
the truth from Allah that is still
making Islam stand and these 60,000
books I think the Muslims would be
wondering 60,000 books and how do we
answer them Subhan Allah sh one book the
Quran is enough to answer them and you
ask very important question about holy
war see the AR the Arabic translation
for holy war will
be and this word har M does not occur in
the entire Quran for one single time not
a single place in the entire Quran the
word har mad has been used not even in
one authentic teaching of prophet
Muhammad Salli wasallam has this word
holy war been used in fact if you look
the history of the word or the etimology
of this word it was coined in fact for
the Crusades the Crusades yes so nothing
to do with Islam nothing to do with
Islam absolutely harul mad or holy war
has nothing to do with Islam at all not
a single time is it used in the Quran or
the authentic teachings of prophet
Muhammad wasallam amazing amazing facts
not fiction yeah this is a fact of
course but now someone says you know
what okay okay you know struggling you
know at school this is good and you know
to to go ahead and for the police off
for examples example you gave but look
they say you know look at Osama Bin
Laden look at the the World Trade
Centers what about this they said they
did a Jihad what do you got to say oh
Subhan Allah this is this I think the
September 911 incident and all that is
happening after September 11 has brought
the entire Muslim umah on the back foot
but always we should be optimistic there
are a few things which very honestly
everyone needs to understand every
anti-christian every non-Christian is
not an
anti-christian every
non-jew is not an anti-jew
every non-american is not an
anti-American I have come to this
country this is the second time I'm
visiting this country I love America
it's a beautiful place the people are
wonderful here it's lovely to interact
with them the reception they give to
whatever you speak to them the way they
host you as a guest it's wonderful so
but I'm not an American I'm a
non-american but I'm not an
anti-American I am a non British but I'm
not an anti- British similarly it is
very important it's very important that
every person who is a non-muslim should
understand that when he says or when she
says he or she is a non-muslim the
Muslim never perceives every non-muslim
as anti-islamic we never say that Quran
never says that Hadith never says that
if you read the Quran you will find
Allah subhana tala commanding Jihad in
several places in the Quran if you read
Surah Bak Surah number two aty number
190 Surah bakah number 2y number 191
Surah Bak Surah number 2y number 192 Sur
Bak Surah number 2y number 244 Surah n
Surah number four ayat number 74 Surah n
Surah number 4y number 86 Surah n Surah

Surah number 5 ayat number 35 Sur anfal
Surah number 8 ayat number 72 Sur anfal
Surah number 8y number 74 it's mentioned
in Surah TBA Surah number n atat number
five and six in Surah TBA Surah number n
atat number 20 in Surah TBA Surah number
n aty number 41 in Surah tah Surah
number 9 atat number 81 in Surah TBA
Surah number 9 ayat number 111 in Surah
ha Surah number 22y number 58 and atat
number 78 in Surah huat Surah number 49
ayat number 15 in Surah saf Surah number
61 atat number 4 and ay number 11 in
Surah Surah number 66y number n these
are all the places where Allah commanded
the Muslims to do Jihad but believe me
not a single ayat which says kill all
the non-muslims on Earth on the contrary
on the contrary I challenge there is not
a single religious scripture except the
Quran nor any law book on the face of
the earth except the Quran which has a
statement where Allah says the Muslims
in Surah MAA Surah number five ayat
number 32 if any one of you save the
life of any innocent human being whether
a Muslim or a non-muslim it is as though
you have saved the whole of humanity and
if you kill any innocent life whether of
a Muslim or a non-muslim in the sight of
Allah you have killed the whole of
humanity coming to Usama bin ladin and
the people who are labeled as terrorists
today see one thing is very clear for
the Muslims Prophet Muhammad is the
ideal Allah commanded in number 33 aat
number
21 the best example for mankind to
follow is in the life of prophet
Muhammad
I say even the non-muslim brothers and
sisters they should study the life of
prophet Muhammad and when they study
that life if you find any Badin or
anybody Inc compatibility with the
Sunnah then you have all the right to
discuss Islam but if somebody you find
is not going according to Quran and
Sunnah you are
most invited to correct such a person to
say that you are not working according
to Quran and Sunnah so Badin and all
these people have never been an ideal to
the Muslims will never be an ideal in
the future 100 Badin are born they can
never be an ideal to the Muslim
Community he was right he was wrong
there are many who might think he is
right there are many in the world who
think he is wrong for us it is least
important if he has killed an innocent
life in the sight of Allah he has killed
the whole of humanity it's wrong then
there is no second choice about it if he
has killed if he has killed any innocent
life he has killed the whole of humanity
that this is what the verting word of
God now what you just did I mean some
people just got Blown Away they were
like wow are were these references that
you were giving from what we call and
anyone can confirm this who has an open
heart open mind who takes an analytical
scientific approach you are quoting the
verbatim word of God the Quran Subhan
and you giving references yeah and
that's the ultimate source for Islam
anything everything a Muslim has to do
has to do it only from the Quran and the
Sunnah of prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wasallam and the authentic Sunnah
and believe me believe me people like
Usama bad and these people have never
been the ideals to the Muslims our ideal
is they not our role models you're
saying our role model is the last and
final messenger Prophet Muhammad peace
be upon Him of course who was a
messenger like Jesus Moses Noah and they
brought all the sa very the same
teachings absolutely absolutely the same
teachings they have brought and what was
that teaching the teaching of peace to
the Earth the teaching of Islam to the
earth that is what every messenger of
God brought the teaching of Islam began
from Adam Alam and concluded with the
message of Quran being revealed to
Prophet Muhammad wasallam who was the
last and final prophet and messenger of
Allah and Quran being the last book of
Allah revealed as a political as an
economy as a social justice system for
the entire mankind till eternity let's
take a break sh and we'll be right back
for more here on the dean show with
brother
Imran and if we're going to worship
something I figur I might as well
worship the Creator instead of any of
the
Creations now in upon investigating all
the religions I remember finding out the
meaning of what Islam is what a Muslim
is those who surrender theirself to God
is a Muslim those who surrender submit
to God God's will that is it Islam was
pure it was just you just pray to God
your
creator am afid
I am not afraid to stand alone if Li by
I am not afraid to stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone if
Li by I am not afraid to stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone if
Li I am not afraid to stand alone
[Music]
back on the dean show with our special
guest clearing up all the chaos and
confusion Islam is not calling a human
being to kill other innocent human being
it's not about that you're getting to
hear it here on the dean show we Define
what Jihad is a struggle and striving to
do good and to suppress the evil things
that you might want to do that you
shouldn't be doing and all the
messengers of God they called to Islam
submission to the one God that's how you
have peace now there's some people out
there we don't know what's in their
hearts many people are going and
speaking about Islam and they don't have
the correct knowledge about Islam so
they'll quote verses out of context
they'll say you know what what he's
saying is baloney and they'll say look
at this verse chapter 9 verse 29 or
other vers and say look it says kill
them it says uh you know kill the
infidels all these other stuff how do
you combat this true
true see first of all as Eddie one very
important thing is Jihad in Islam is
done against basically four enemies of
God two of them are invisible enemies of
God you'll be wondering how can we do
Jihad against them the first one that
you started the talk that is the selfish
desire when you fight against your own
selfish desire you want to embibe
alcohol and you say no I'm not going to
do that you want to intoxicate yourself
with drugs or something and you say no
no to drugs because Allah is watching me
I fear Allah so this struggle that I do
against my own selfish desire you want
to commit fornication or adultery and
you say no Allah is watching me I'll not
go do that so all these kind of striving
is Jihad against your selfish desire and
the Jihad against the shatan the Jihad
against the shatan because Allah said
that Satan has been given the power to
whisper and misguide the humanity so
Allah subhana tala ask us to do Jihad
against the Shan the Satan might whisper
you and nobody's watching you you can
seek Allah's forgiveness after you have
committed a sin not a problem and you
say
no I seek the protection of Allah from
this shatan the estay one and when I do
this I'm doing Jihad against the Shan
the remaining two enemies are visible
the oppressors and the Hypocrites you
see the oppressors and the Hypocrites
can be amongst the Muslims too so Allah
has commanded us to do Jihad against the
oppressors and the Hypocrites but how to
do the method has been given in the life
of prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam and then the Jihad that is the
Warfare method which is referred in the
Quran many times Asal meaning where you
kill your enemy or you get killed by
your enemy so many ayat are there in the
Quran but a small statistic I would like
to give to you please go ahead Prophet
Muhammad s wasallam when he was alive 80
battles were fought 80 8 Z the prophet
himself participated in 27 out of these
80 only nine were combats the remaining
didn't happen as a war at all or there
was no combat at all only in nine combat
happened and the number of enemies of
God kill was only about
29 and the Muslim soldiers or the Muslim
sahaba killed were a little above 100
look at these figures if you look at
these figures if Prophet was
implementing the Quran killing everybody
the figures are totally opposite to what
is being claimed you look at what's
happening only in the last 100 years on
this planet Earth in which we are
surviving if you check the first world
war 1914 to
1918 the first world war according to
encyclopedia Americana it killed 21
million human beings I'm asking was the
Quran involved in the first world war
was anybody doing Jihad in the first
world war were the Muslims involved in
the first world war no if you look at
the second world war that happened how
many people were killed 1937 to
1945 the figure of the human beings
killed is recorded in the Guinness Book
of World Record 56 million human beings
were killed and again I asked was the
Quran involved in that were the Muslims
involved in that were they responsible
for it was it Jihad no who killed them
you were fighting amongst yourself so if
you look at the figures only these two
figures the Russian Revolution the
French Revolution the the war between
Ireland and British look at the number
of people being get killed where is
Jihad or Quran or Muslims involved in
these things we not involved it's just a
media that is defaming a particular
teaching of Islam and coming back again
if You observe you will find that the
concept of jihad is even given in other
holy scriptures please give us those uh
you see Jesus Christ may peace be upon
him he is referred as the Prince of
Peace as a Muslim I have no doubt he was
the Prince of Peace you see but the same
Prince of Peace he says in Gospel of
Matthew chapter number 10 verse number
34 think not that I have come to spread
peace on Earth I have not come to spread
peace but a sword a sword yeah that is
what and he's saying I've have not come
to spread
peace but still he is the Prince of
Peace is say if any Muslim misquotes
this to say that Jesus was a terrorist
nah may Allah forbid it's a sin to me
I'm quoting out of context that is what
any Christian would say Jesus says in
Gospel of Luke chapter number 19 verse
number 27 bring that person in front of
me and slay him who does not take me as
a ruler over him that's a Jesus who is
beloved to our hearts no muslim is a
Muslim we love Jesus no muslim is a
Muslim if he does not believe respect
and love Jesus Christ may peace be upon
him we Muslims we believe that Jesus was
a mighty messenger of Allah he was born
miraculously to Virgin Mary which many
modern day Christians do not believe we
Muslims we believe that he healed those
who were born blind and the lepers but
by Allah's permission we believe that he
gave life to the dead but by Allah's
permission we love him we love him in
the category of all the other Messengers
including Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wasallam if you read the Bible if
you read the Old Testament in the book
of Exodus chapter number 34: number 11-4
in the Book of Numbers Chapter number
31: number 1-18 in the Book of Numbers
chapter number 31 33 verse number 50 to
56 this is the Bible now this is the
Bible the Old Testament the book of the
Jews and the Christians if you read this
what does it say what does it say and in
the book of Deuteronomy chapter number 2
verse number 26-35 in the book of
Deuteronomy chapter number 3 vers number
1 to verse number 7 in The Book of
Deuteronomy chap number 7 verse number 1
to verse number 6 in the book of
Deuteronomy chter number 20 vers number
10 to8 all these places Moses may peace
be upon Him mam has been commanded to
attack the inhabitants of the enemies
and kill all of them including their
women and their children this is the
Bible this is the Bible not the Quran
not the Quran in fact they have been
commanded to kill all the women the
children and the men and leave only the
girls who have not gone to bed with a
man for yourself on the contrary to this
if you read s Al bukari the most
authentic book on the compilation of the
teachings of prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alaih wasam which is other than the
Quran if you read it volume number four
Hadith number 257 and 258 the prophet
sallallah Ali wasallam said it is
forbidden Muhammad wasam said it is
forbidden for the Muslim soldiers to
touch a lady to touch a woman or a child
in the battle you cannot touch them if
you read other books of the teachings of
prophet Muhammad wasallam on his
compilations of his teachings he said
you should not attack the leader of the
other religious groups if they have not
come to fight you you cannot destroy the
agricultural Fields you cannot pollute
the drinking water of the people you
cannot cut down the trees you cannot
kill the animals which are for
agriculture purpose or for them to eat
you cannot touch the babies the children
and the women this is the teaching in
Islam which of these teachings I ask is
Terrorism this is not terrorism amazing
amazing and the word terrorism has got
more than 100 definitions according to
the United Nations itself these are
amazing facts and again not fiction
we're out of time for those truth
Seekers are sincere people you know what
now the fog has been clear they can see
a little clear they like that Islam
calls to to Pure monotheism not
worshiping Jesus not worshiping Saints
and animals and elephants and monkeys
but only worshiping the creator of all
that exists and doing good and doing the
Jihad against the evil of your own self
that caus you to drinking and drugs and
gambling and doing and establishing
Noble care they like this and you know
what they're still a little bit timid go
ahead and talk to them give them some
advice give them some advice sh go ahead
she I would just say one thing the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said
in a Hadith recorded in s alkari volume
number four Hadith number
667 if you people know one thing about
Islam one thing about me convey it to
those who do not know about it unless
and until we Muslims are going to do
this job Allah is not going to help us
we need to do every Muslim man and every
Muslim woman needs to do this we need to
go out to our non-muslim brother and
sisters they are our brothers and
sisters because they are the children of
Adam and Eve they are the children of
Adam Alam and Alam and we cannot see
them being punished on the day of
judgment by not believing in the true
creator Allah subhana tala and not
believing in the last and final
messenger Prophet Muhammad and not
believing in the last and final
Testament the world Constitution the
word of Allah the Quran which is for the
Peace of humanity if practiced in the
right perspective
Eddie once again I would just like to
repeat one very important thing I would
like to reiterate because I am in the
United States you're are holding a show
for me in Chicago I really am thankful
to you I would like to reiterate that
Islam is not against every
non-muslim just as every non-muslim is
not against every Muslim similarly Islam
and Muslims are not against every
non-muslim and there might be
disagreements with a lot of things that
we do in a family husband disagrees the
wife a wife disagrees the husband but
that does not mean they are enemies unto
each other so similarly if Americans
disagree to many things about Islam and
Muslims that does not mean all Americans
are anti-islam similarly if Muslims
disagree to American policies of certain
kind that should not mean to the
Americans that all the Muslims are
anti-americans this is a very important
message I would like to convey to The
Beautiful People of this nation the
United States of America thank you very
much me Almighty the creator of all does
this reward you for being us thank you
peace be with
you and thank you again for tuning in to
the dean show I'm so excited I'm so
