pe
ex In the next 30 minutes or so is we to
cover the foundations of faith now when we talk about Islam us when a person is considering bec they scared because they think Islam as pillars of Islam remember the tesy ofi which isly naturally going to lead to the prayer which is going to lead to the fasting the pilgrimage the zakat the charity and they think to i'm not to all things not toit but real you become muslim all do testify perfect andle perfect with pill is i feel for
usud the foundations
fai we can understand what is we are to
when we become muss
with bel bel has has parents
webe to himer the only
re we he is because in the arabic
language is either masculine or feminine so we
say we we use the word he webbing god

cons
that the only ones who would fall into
that punishment are those that
refuse to accept guidance from the most
compassionate the most merciful there
only one chapter in Quran not God the Most Merciful in name and
some think was angry was mus

people you call upon
God Glory be to Him,
Glory be to Him, the
Qur’an is closer to you than the love of a
vein now does you he inside you physically speak inside of youer to you vein but Glory be to Him besid God someone as a partner besides God whenever you stand before a picture and you say that i’m
invoking God through this picture or structure whatever it is.
him not to ascribe any
likeness in terms of creation to him not to
ascribe an image to him this is that he has
come in prev scriptures also the
first of the comms but unfortunately not pr
today so when we believe god as one that
means we don't believe he has any reason
that there is nothing like him there
is nothing that can be god except for god he
is one he is not three he is not
really five he not really 300 he one god
and that is the only that god has ever
sent on the of the prophets that came
before
pe we believe in the angels now the
angels in Islam and very important
because obviously in the Abrahamic
tradition sometimes we might mix up
different faith and we might take
different beliefs in terms of creed so i
'm clarifying the Islamic view of these
things so when you think of angel don't think
of the angels that you've seen on
tv that always wear white dresses and
have just two white wings and and always
you know have shiny hair you know and
they look like human beings angels are creation that have
no likeness to human beings
they are massive
chr fall
angel
lu no anges mistakes no angel can ever fall
and you can see why that would be
problematic because these are the
creatures that handle the revelation of
god if
we have free will human being have free angels
free will they created only to worship god
they are not in need food orink inter
because human being can
become angels but a great schar of
islam merc on he said
more serv of god denies
his pleasures own and
ang more l
des the closer he becomes to becoming an
animal so the Angels are creation that
have no choice but to worship God they have no
free will
per
forever you call dia you call compl time
for but recom you if you more into
because we have much time which is the
world ofin and devil by one of
te drive
deta description of thein the cre of
thein belief of thein in christianity
also
rather that worship god much that was
in the companionship of the
angels in paradise but at the same time
he was not considered angel we also do
n't believe in angel that teaching evil people
because they rebelled God
so the
angel gabriel peace be upon him and jbr
was the one who was entrusted with the revelation
to each and every single
prophet so he brought down the message
to each and every sing propet and he was the
one who approached the propet muham
peace be upon him in the cave and would
continue to come to him with revelation
throughout his life peace and blessings
be upon him so gabriel is the head of
them uh the angels are not affected by desires they
cann be you know they
cannot be sed away because their task is
that mighty so God has made them
perfect and people ask why God made human
being you know that why heat us
all and program us so that we had to worship him
we had no choice that's
because that purpose has already been fulfilled
in the angels human beings have
another purpose in life which is to
go through that test and trial and to
try to deny themselves uh you know using
their free will responsibly try to deny
themselves of those lowly desires so
they come closer to reaching in
now book because this is
problematic because someone says if i
believe in the Bible and i believe in the
pms and i believe inest
newest
oldest
all other oldest the new test go one
main marn each and every single one of
them lived after jesus peace be upon
none of them ever met jesus peace be
upon him in fact the earliest of them
liv 30 years after jesus and we don't
even know their names this is true in
christian theology we don't know who
matthew mark luke and john were in some
chran
schen even know the real
jes
pe law Because as
weir the Bible Jesus pe
upon heed
jesus peace upon to put back the into
thebes him as a mercy to the world as he
describes the prophet peace be upon him
so he abrogated a few things but for the
most part he observed the law of moses
peace be upon him and the gosp that we
know of the good news the in that was given
to him was a revelation that just
supplemented the taur so that jesus
could restore the of the law and not the
letter of it because the letter was the
only
order tove spirit youve
letter understand the letter of the law with
the intent of the revelation so the
gospels that we have today um being
matthew mark luke and john again they are
not authentic they undergone many many
changes there are over 7000 versions of
the bible um and of the gospels and also we
have gospels of people that have been rejected
we have the gospel of peter for
example which although it's undergone chess
through translation and different
versions and things of that but peter
was someone who actually acced jesus
peace upon so why was his threw gospel
away well because his views some of the
views that are stated in the gospel of
peter directly contradict the apostle
paul's view apostle paul came 40 years
after jesus peace be upon him and he is the
founder of
chran religion
andret was out gospel barnabas which
contains direct references to the
prophet mamm peace be upon him in very
clear and explicit terms was also thrown
out so as musl what we do believe in we
believe in revelation that came to
jesus pe upon we believe inin revelation
that came to moses peace upon we believe
in original revelation that came to david peace
upon
over now we find contradiction now we
find these books each other sometimes
they
themselves per Qur’an Qur’an
so as a believer as musl what do i
have i have yes God
there nr
bible untrue but the time we don’t confirm
it because who knows if that was
added over
time also important to mention here by the
way with the history of the bible
when we talk about the king james
revelation because is we talking about
how angs usted the revelation through
the angels the versions that we see
today we have many versions we got the king james verion we've
got the newly international
version we even have the
teen version right where it's a little
where it's a little bit more simple
english so the revelation certainly has
undergone many changes but almost all of
the bibles if not all of them are coming
from the king james translation and king
james himself was a very immoral
character there is no doubt about that so how
could God entrust the revelation
to a person like that and I don't want to go into
his history right now you can
just go ask google right he had some very very
serious blots on his record so he decided to perform the Qur’an like the person whoor in poes is the person
in afa
just like someone memor here in
unes letter but eow be
able
over 1400
years se
1400 years Qur’an

stain of that blood is found on the page
that is so full
coped people people lived the was was

no matter what time of the day it was no

pl

acc on and per gr per flow and not a
mistake has ever been found in qur not gr

also
hand flowed when there was no mirac that
place is greatest miracle because god
always s greatest miracle miracle time
bic to the
people brings us to the next next i'll
connect with the next of fai which is
the belief in the messengers when we about the messengers
bel god we
godra in
and we did not send the messenger of the Asan Qumar
ex jes upon he had the he he was the
first to the power he in in Bible Elijah
700 dead he was first to have power he
power rais dead so but people claimed
divinity the rabb of that time were taking advantage
of the people on the
basis of their soed
healing could by of God of so God spared me
also of moses peace be
upon we know that they were a people of
magic that pharaoh claimed his
superiority through using his magicians
to deceive the people so God and and you
know this is a tradition that we that we
know whether you're from the
Christian background or the Jewish
background that through moses peace be
upon God allowed his sta to become a
real snake where the sta of the
insed people in
acced acca
but arabs poet and because they poet used a lar
crow because
ability
people man
sch power mirac given us so much
andor again arab
andir extended
all manir
was
jesus
a you know did we have these cameras as
we have right Now do we have these
cameras back did we have you know any
news channel back or med back that
taking videos of these miracles we have
no proof whatever in fact as muslims the
only reason we believe in that miracle is
because the qur told us to believe in that peck we
because tell
to liv
miracle tove miracle through time every
generation discover a new miracle from
Quran Quran Quran
till est
against can all people all
there flexibility flexibility is needed
are principles jurisprudence so the law
not you know in America don't you have to practice the
way that you would be prac
in southeast asia there are certain
things that are different the law
accommodates
acc mahd
pe for all quran for all people now how
we see prophets and messengers is extrem
important the way prophets and
messengers is as people who incapable of
committing majs maj crimes maj off so to
what we see today as muslim we look the
bible and we see you know the accus the props against propet
against pe upon pe
getting drunk david peace be upon him
supposedly sleeping with with chief so on so
fors committing adultery you we we
accept those tradition we truly don't accept
those tradition not to be
offensive to christians or to jews to
say that as muslim we view the prophets
as inf from such things okay because how
could god entrust the revelation to a
person that was capable of murder that's
capable of adultery capable of capable drunk
heed to te other people moral
is how can he a of that
we props
before before
rated later on in their liv some of
them were born that way but some of them
revelation later on their lives that God
prevented them from committing maj even
before subject corruption things moral sk
how we know mus if we
know ex
made mistakes in human judgment okay so infall
in regards to the revelation but
they human being so we find that that
solomon and david pe be upon him that
once two women came to david pe upon him
with a and both of them were claiming
that the child belonged to them so david peace
be upon him made a judgment and that
judgment was wrong because then
they toom pe upon the
Andom he said how about this how about
we
one said you know her andom said the
mother said her is because could not be
to see her child cut in half so in human judgment
they could you know they could have
differen and things that but in
capacity
of made mes ang he
eats food and walks in the markets eood and
he walks in the maret places he uses the bathroom
so on so for what is it with
him because they are sent to be examples for us they sent to be guide
would defe
the pur sent angel and angel was the
teach us because ang is different in
nature we are as human being we would be
able to
prop the ration you
know chran i said you know when you look at
the example of jesus pe be upon
when you look at the example of jesus what is
your and he like him and the he aeng of god heent so
allengers of god next
all human
being sent with the revelation to teach
people how to the revelation to teach
people how to the word of god but none
of them are sons of god while are
not you know it doesn't work that
way they are all equal in regards to their
nature regards to divinity lack of divinity
right but as far vir some the
prophets are
ex resolute
great and are abraham m jesus andam pe
be upon all among them uh jesus peace be
upon him great messenger of god and
by the way we are the only religion
other than christianity that
acknowledges jesus peace be upon as
righteous in the first place so we
acknowledge him as a messenger of god we
acknowledge him as a prophet of god we
acknowledge him as the some might the with chran
connotation means
son godah
from arab which me so he aned he
was
cheng of
god wasam
peam with no or no father so allah could
certain create jesus with no father
peace upon him and he is
the propet peace
upon quran wom
show
around in are
mah name extended pe
upon wor m pe
the greatest of the messengers of god
in term of virtue because he was usted
with the last and final revelation and
he is the greatest character
to in the
siding his standards by living the way
he
lived

akh,
parad before God Almighty,
be for i to any now we canary to the truth is
contrary to guidance and that this belief
system could lead people to hellfire and to punishment i could say that about a belief system but i can't say about
an individual why
because allah will judge
each and every single individual alone
you do not know my standing on the day
of judgment i don't know your standing
on the day of judgment and that's the beauty
of it because that allows us other
frequently God for res acc acc
according to effs and will no
injustice done that when some says
Quran injustice blame trans injustice today so
if you think indiv you say that person shouldn't
go to hell those types of
things not your bus there is no trans no
in God extend pe
that as a child incapable of grasping
the revelation of a person who is mentally
incent
gr between jes m pe upon
not means
anyu
for own
with that being said we believe that on
the day of judgment you either me the
mercy of god or the justice of god so
god will not be transgressing anyone
even someone that has cursed god god
will not give him except what he has
earned but the believers god will mercy
because can give god
wor we are commanded by god to do so
but but we believe as muslims it's not
my five prayers going to get me into
paradise god showing mercy upon me and
recognizing that i did those five
prayers requesting and begging for his
mercy so someone you and someone might
say the difference that chr differ
inter jic
trad for you know complete and absolute
jti the chran tradition modern day chran tradition
is that God so l the world
that he sent his one and only son that
whoever believes in him will not perish john
36 that if you believe in jesus
peace be upon him you will attain
salvation if you don't believe in jesus
you want attain salvation so that means
from this perspective justice no one can
truly give to God what he gave to them so the
mercy of God is needed the mercy
of God is needed but at the same time we
have this other extreme which is the
modern day Christian extreme that is
that God is not merciful enough to forgive
us without sending his own son
and having him crucified and punished
for three days before rising again that God punished
him so that he could
absolve all of mankind for their sins
and that's also not appropriate because
a person make effort to pleas God make
effort qu for mercy of like child parents bring
home you cut out heart with
construction paper i love you and the
letters are falling all over the place
the parents don't value the paper
because because of its quality they just
value it because they recognize the
effort so you know how could it be that that God
will punish a person who has
prayed five times a day invoked him
directly fasted for him you know
his life lived in accordance with with godard
but he will be because he didn't
worship the son of God but at the time a
person could be a murder could do all
these things but because he believes
that Jesus is the son of God then he
will automatically be forgiven because
God has already extracted his w on him
peace be upon we don't believe that so
in the middle that we try our best to
att just like child when they present that
gift to parents they want to show
their parents how much they love them
and merc that
as parad god as far as parad and h are concern parad is
a place is unl anything in the
world more beautiful than b eauty can
define in worldly terms it has as the
prophet muham peace be upon him says no
eye has seen what no ear has heard and
what no imagination has ever grasped so
when we talk about paradise we're
talking about a perfect place and parad
is whatever you want it to be okay and
so when we start to try to define paradise
in terms of worldly terms right
we start to look at paradise and we
start to say well you know i want this
and i want that and i want this and i
want that or i'm not going to be pleased
you know this had or this does not sound
like what i invision to be paradise you
just have to know that god has tailored paradise
according to your wants and
your desires and god will make paradise
beautiful for you and you will never concerned parad you never have
anxiety ent that has committed murder a person that has committed corruption on this earth
person that has avoided the guidance of
god would not achieve the guidance paras
wor is refused to enter parad isam view
and we do believe some people enter hent
be adm parad because from the mercy of
god anyone who has even adams wor of
faith in their heart bel in god beed
from and enter into parad
fin decree
that from is good there is no such ev
in Islam because
gods god is aware of everything and so we
invoke god we supplicate god and
we understand that at the end of the day
god will you know god has our interest
you know as the heart decree so
whenever things are decreed whether it's whether
it appears to be for us or
against us we accept it and whenever it's hardship we are patient
with God
whenever it is good whenever ease we are
grateful to God so in Islam we don't say
you know for example you had the earthquake
in he and you had some people
some preachers who said that's because
they made a deal with the devil 400
years ago and so you're putting yourself
directly in the role of God that you can
say when God is punishing come
one
gr means so we don't know why things
happen but we understand God is fair so
even though life might not be fair might
not to be fair we understand god is fair
so when things happen we understand happ
yeses god forc us into any our god forc devil to disb forc any to believe either se gu guance aware of gods will god god makee
par Quran so that
all of that would be
absolved but At the same time God has
forced us into the situation any so
again we believe in the planning of God
the divine decree of God that everything
happens for a reason and we should
always be between the stations of
patience and gratitude and we understand
that at the end my
God show
my predestination written God will
show me the book of my deeds and that's what
be h accountable for so I hope that gives
you a good a
good
hope strength journe make journe fa make
Amen God,
peace and mercy be upon you. God and His blessings
