00:00So in Islam, why there is no caste system?
00:03Sisters ask the question, why in Islam there is no caste system?
00:07Because in Islam we believe that all the human beings are equal, unlike in Hinduism.
00:12Quran says in Surah Hujurat, chapter 49, verse number 13,
00:16O humankind, we have created you from a single pair of male and female,
00:29and have divided you into nations and tribes, so that you shall recognize each other,
00:34not you shall despise each other.
00:35And the most honored in the sight of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the person as taqwa.
00:39The criteria for judgment in the sight of Almighty God,
00:42for a human being to be superior to the other human being,
00:45it's not sex, it's not caste, it's not color, it's not wealth, it's not age,
00:49but it is taqwa, it is God consciousness, it is piety, it is righteousness.
00:53The only way one human being can be superior to the other human being,
00:57it's not by wealth, it's not by age, it's not by sex, but it is by piety,
01:01it is by God consciousness, it is by righteousness.
01:04Unlike Hinduism, when we read the Vedas, it's mentioned that Almighty God,
01:08he created the Brahmin class, the learned class from the head, that's the first caste.
01:12Then he created the warrior class, the Kshatriyas, from the chest.
01:16Then from his stomach and thighs, he created the business community, the Vaishyas.
01:21And from the feet, he created the Shudras, that's the untouchables, that's the lower caste.
01:26So this is what is mentioned in the Vedas.
01:28In Islam, we believe that all the human beings are equal.
01:32We don't believe that one human being is superior to the other human being
01:36because of birth, because of profession, because of wealth, because of color, because of caste.
01:41So Islam is a universal religion.
01:44Unlike in the Vedas, what they say, that you have to stick to your profession.
01:48Because it was mainly controlled by the Brahmins, which is again, small percentage, minor percentage.
01:55And they say that if you are born as a Shudra, you remain a Shudra, you serve the Brahmin,
02:00next life maybe you may become a better person.
02:02Now this is all ideology.
02:04So that, you know, they want to keep the person low, the person will remain low,
02:08and the rich and the top people remain low.
02:09In Islam, we believe in equality.
02:11And Islam is religion for all the human beings.
02:15That is the reason Islam is against caste system.
02:17Hope the answer to the question is, sister.
02:18Okay, sir, I have one more doubt.
02:20So why you are saying the Muslim is Sayyid Muslim or Sunni Muslim or Shia?
02:24So what is that?
02:25Sister said that why am I saying Sayyid Muslim and Shia Muslim Sunni?
02:29I never said Sayyid Muslim.
02:30Muslim is the one who submits his will to Almighty God.
02:34In Islam, there is no sect.
02:37Allah says in the Quran, in Surah Al-Imran, chapter 3, verse 103,
02:40Hold to the rope of Allah strongly and be not divided.
02:45There is no Sayyid Muslim and Sunni or this.
02:48Yes, the family.
02:50Fine, you may belong to a family.
02:52You may belong to a sheikh family.
02:54You may belong to a sayyid family.
02:55To know your roots.
02:57That does not mean a person is superior.
02:59A khan is superior to a sheikh or a sayyid.
03:01No.
03:02It is belonging to your roots.
03:04Like how you may come from some family
03:06so that you have come from particular land or particular area.
03:09If you have come from co-country jain.
03:11So this is family background.
03:13It doesn't mean one person is superior to the other.
03:15The only way one human being can be superior to the other human being
03:18is by piety, is by righteousness, is by God consciousness.
03:22Hope that answers the question, Sister.
03:23Yes.
03:24Yeah.
03:25My name is Rahul.
03:26I am a telecoms engineer working in Dubai since 2002.
03:29I want to ask a few questions.
03:31Coming from my background,
03:32I think religion is something that following that,
03:35you are safe from having problems in your life.
03:38Yeah.
03:40My first question is,
03:42I recently read a report by a doctor
03:44saying that because of marriages in first cousins in Islam,
03:48it leads to a higher probability of the fetuses being born as handicaps.
03:52Yeah.
03:53It increases the probability of the babies born without hands or without legs.
03:58So if it was something that could potentially cause harm,
04:01it should not have been allowed in Islam.
04:02Another point I would like to add to the same question is,
04:05recently I suffered a little bit of a BP.
04:07And I went to the doctor,
04:08and the first thing he said to me is that,
04:10stop eating red meat,
04:12which is again allowed in Islam.
04:14So I would think that if these things could be harmful to the human body,
04:18these should not have been allowed by who has created us.
04:22So if you can clarify me on that.
04:23The brothers have two questions.
04:25The first question that is talking about consanguineous marriages.
04:28Consanguineous marriages means marriage between close relatives.
04:32In English it's called as consanguineous marriages.
04:34And in consanguineous marriages,
04:35medical science tells us today,
04:37there are high chances of genetic problems.
04:39And I do agree with the brother.
04:40So why does Islam permit that?
04:41It's clearly mentioned in the Quran in Surah Nisaa chapter number 4,
04:45verse number 22 to 24,
04:46the woman who you can marry,
04:47and the woman who you cannot marry is mentioned there.
04:49Amongst them it's clearly mentioned you cannot marry your sister,
04:52and a lady cannot marry the brother.
04:54It's mentioned.
04:55Neither the father, neither the mother.
04:56You cannot marry the brother of your father,
04:59the ladies,
05:00and you cannot marry the sister of your father.
05:02That means the important close relatives are mentioned in the Quran.
05:06Brother, sister cannot marry,
05:07son and mother,
05:08father and daughter,
05:09paternal uncle, maternal uncle can't marry.
05:11But as far as first cousins are concerned,
05:15Islam does give permission.
05:16Now as far as consanguineous marriages are concerned,
05:18the maximum problem comes
05:19when you marry your direct blood brother and sister.
05:22Consanguineous marriage.
05:23Even if you marry your direct father,
05:25daughter,
05:26mother and son,
05:27or your uncle,
05:29the chances are also there
05:30if you marry your first cousin,
05:32but it's negligible,
05:33very negligible.
05:34So Islam...
05:34That's not what the report said.
05:36The report said that
05:36because of marriages in first cousins,
05:38not your brothers and sisters,
05:39it leads to this problem.
05:40Let me complete it.
05:41It was published in Gulf News as well actually.
05:43Brother, let me complete it.
05:44Even I am a doctor.
05:45Ah, okay.
05:45Fine.
05:46Even I am a medical doctor.
05:47Yeah.
05:47It means medical doctor with that doctor.
05:49Yeah.
05:49The chances in direct relatives are very high.
05:53Yeah.
05:53If a sister and brother marry,
05:55the chances are very high.
05:56Yeah.
05:57If a father and daughter are very high,
05:59you have read only one report,
06:00you haven't read the other report.
06:01Yeah.
06:02So you only read Gulf News.
06:03I read medical books.
06:04So Gulf News is better
06:05or medical books is better?
06:06Your point is,
06:07your point is,
06:08maraging in first cousins,
06:09the chances of wedding problem is negligible.
06:12As compared to brother and sister.
06:14As compared to.
06:15As compared to.
06:16But still,
06:16but still there is a...
06:17Brother, will you let me complete a man, sir?
06:18Sorry, yeah, please.
06:20So you have more faith in Gulf News?
06:21No, no, not really.
06:22I am here to find the truth.
06:23That's right.
06:24So what do you realize?
06:25That consanguineous marriage,
06:27and I agree with you.
06:28I didn't say it is not there.
06:29Yeah.
06:29I am not trying to beat around the bush.
06:31But compared to it is negligible.
06:32Compared to direct blood brother and sister.
06:34Now,
06:35I do agree that there are medical genetic problems
06:37in various ways.
06:38But,
06:39this report is there
06:40when you have continuously,
06:42generation after generation.
06:43According to Dr. Ahmad Sakhariri says,
06:45the Prophet said,
06:46do not marry first cousins,
06:47generation after generation.
06:48If you do it once or twice,
06:50it is no problem.
06:51Yet,
06:51even if you marry,
06:52not cousins also,
06:53you can get a problem.
06:54Do you know that?
06:55Yeah, yeah.
06:55So that doesn't mean
06:56that you stop marriage only.
06:57Right.
06:57So there is a hadith which says,
06:58do not do it generation after generation.
07:00Yes.
07:00But otherwise,
07:00generally there is no problem.
07:02Right.
07:02Fine?
07:02So coming to your second question.
07:04Yeah.
07:04You went to a doctor
07:05and you said you had high BP.
07:07Yes.
07:07Doctor said you have red meat.
07:08Yes.
07:09So why does Islam allow red meat?
07:11Yes.
07:11You know,
07:11my friend went to a doctor
07:12and doctor said,
07:13you have diabetes,
07:14don't have sugar.
07:15Brother,
07:16why do you have sugar?
07:17Right.
07:18Why?
07:18Don't have sugar?
07:19My friend went to a doctor,
07:21doctor said,
07:21you have diabetes,
07:22don't have sugar.
07:23Brother,
07:23do you have sugar?
07:24Yes,
07:24of course.
07:24Why?
07:25Stop having sugar.
07:26Yeah,
07:26but we can live on vegetables
07:27easily possible.
07:28Can you live without having sugar?
07:30Can you live without having sugar?
07:32Even vegetarians have sugar,
07:33brother.
07:34Yeah.
07:34Are you educated?
07:35Yeah.
07:36Masha Allah.
07:37The problem is,
07:38that person had a problem
07:39with his pancreas.
07:41In the pancreas,
07:42there are islets of linger hand
07:43which break down the sugar.
07:45Because my friend
07:45had a problem in the pancreas,
07:47he could not break down the sugar,
07:48therefore the doctor said,
07:49don't have sugar.
07:50Right.
07:51You have some problem of red meat,
07:52you should not have red meat.
07:53Others can have red meat.
07:57The Quran says,
07:59a general statement Quran says,
08:00eat what is halal and tayyap for you.
08:03There's a verse in the Quran,
08:04eat what is halal and tayyap for you.
08:06For a person suffering from diabetes,
08:08sugar is not tayyap.
08:09So according to the Quran,
08:10a person having diabetes
08:11should have less sugar.
08:13It's a general statement.
08:14Eat what is halal and tayyap for you.
08:16That means certain things
08:17which is good for others
08:17may not be good for you.
08:19But there are certain things
08:20which are bad for everyone.
08:21Alcohol.
08:21Alcohol is bad for everyone.
08:23It is prohibited for everyone.
08:24Pork is bad for everyone.
08:26Therefore,
08:26pork has been prohibited for everyone.
08:28What do you realize?
08:28Certain food,
08:29because of the way
08:30your metabolism is made,
08:31because it's a problem for you,
08:33doesn't mean
08:33that everyone should abstain from it.
08:35Hope that answers the question.
08:36Sure.
08:36Okay.
08:36My next question is,
08:38Islam allows marriages,
08:40I mean,
08:40a husband to marry
08:41more than one wife,
08:42four wives.
08:42is it compulsory to take the permission
08:45from the wife
08:46before marrying the second one?
08:48Because a lot of Muslim girls
08:49have told me that,
08:50you know,
08:50they have to take permission
08:51from the first wife,
08:51so our interests are taken care of.
08:53I hope you don't intend
08:54to become Muslim
08:55and marry more than one wife.
08:56No, I don't.
08:57Because there's a new law
08:58in the Indian government.
08:59If a Hindu converts to Muslim
09:00and marries more than one wife,
09:01then there's a problem.
09:02Yeah.
09:03There's a new law that's part.
09:03I don't intend to,
09:04but I just need to find out.
09:04Don't intend to marry
09:05or don't intend to convert?
09:06Well,
09:07I won't answer that now.
09:10That was the question
09:11that is it compulsory
09:12that the husband
09:13should take the permission
09:14of his first wife
09:15before he marries the second wife?
09:17As a general rule,
09:18because it is mentioned
09:19in the Quran
09:20that a man can have
09:21more than one wife,
09:22it is not required
09:23for a man
09:23to take the permission
09:24of the first wife,
09:25but it is preferably
09:26takes permission
09:27or at least informs her.
09:28As far as permission,
09:29certain conditions
09:30become compulsory.
09:31During a nikah,
09:32during a marital contract,
09:33a man or a woman,
09:34before they get married,
09:35they can put any conditions
09:36which are permitted.
09:37If the woman puts the condition
09:38in the nikah nama
09:39that my husband
09:40will not take a second wife
09:41as long as I live,
09:43because marrying
09:44more than one wife
09:44is optional.
09:45So if she puts the condition,
09:46then it becomes compulsory
09:47for the husband
09:48to take the permission
09:49of the wife,
09:49otherwise he cannot marry.
09:51If this is not mentioned
09:51in the nikah nama,
09:52if it is not mentioned
09:53in the marital contract,
09:54it's not a must,
09:55it is preferable.
09:55I hope that answers
09:56the question.
09:57Thanks.
09:57My last question,
09:58my last question is,
10:00Brother,
10:00you are most welcome.
10:01Just stand behind the queue.
10:02There may be one
10:02or two non-Muslims.
10:04You can wait,
10:04Brother.
10:04There may be one
10:05or two non-Muslims.
10:05Just stand behind
10:06the non-Muslims.
10:07And will try and give all
10:07the non-Muslims the chance.

10:35Yes, sir.
10:36I believe.
10:36Yes, and you believe
10:37that there is no one
10:38to worship besides Allah?
10:39Means?

10:44Prophet Muhammad
10:44is the last and final
10:45messenger of this God?

11:22much more easier.

13:0624,000 prophets.
13:08And most of the prophets,
13:09they came here
13:10in this universe
13:11and they just convey
13:13the message
13:14of Almighty Allah.
13:15Remember one thing
13:16that the selection
13:17of prophets,
13:18that is the hand
13:19of Almighty Allah.
13:20If a person
13:21want that he become
13:22prophet and he start
13:24preaching or he start
13:25worshipping,
13:26so due to his worshipping,
13:28he will not be a prophet
13:29because it's in the hand
13:31of Almighty Allah.
13:32If Almighty Allah want,
13:34he select the people.
13:36Nobody can do it.
13:38And my dear brother
13:39and sisters,
13:40that Fidayah
13:41is also in the hand
13:42of Almighty Allah.
13:44So many times
13:44in the Holy Quran,
13:45Almighty Allah
13:46clearly mentioned
13:47in the Holy Quran,
13:48that if you love
13:54the most,
13:56so you cannot
13:56give him hidayah.
13:58But Almighty Allah
13:59give him hidayah
14:00to those people
14:00who you love
14:01the most.
14:02My dear brother
14:03and sister,
14:04Almighty Allah
14:04clearly mentioned
14:05in the Holy Quran,
14:06ูˆูŽู…ูŽุง ู…ูุญูŽู…ูŽู‘ุฏูŒ
14:07ุฅูู„ูŽู‘ุง ุฑูŽุณููˆู„ูŒ
14:08So in the Holy Quran,
14:10Almighty Allah
14:11also mentioned
14:12that these Christians
14:14and Jews,
14:15they know
14:15Prophet Muhammad
14:16more than
14:18their own sons,
14:19but they do not
14:20accept Islam.
14:21So this girl
14:22asked a question
14:23about other religions,
14:24that if other religions
14:26say about Prophet Muhammad,
14:27so Dr. Zakir Nayak
14:29say yes.
14:30And in the Holy Quran,
14:31Almighty Allah
14:31also mentioned
14:32that
14:33ุฃูŽู„ูŽู‘ุฐููŠู†ูŽ ุขุชูู†ูŽุงู‡ูู…ูŽ
14:35ุงู„ู’ูƒูุชูŽุงุจูŽ
14:36ูŠูŽุนู’ุฑููููˆู†ูŽู‡ู
14:37ูƒูŽู…ูŽุง ูŠูŽุนู’ุฑููููˆู†ูŽ
14:38ุฃูŽุจู’ู†ูŽุงู‡ูู…ู’
14:39Those people
14:40to whom
14:41Almighty Allah
14:42give him books,
14:43they know
14:44Prophet Muhammad
14:45more than
14:46their own sons,
14:48but due to
14:49their greediness,
14:50they do not
14:50accept it.
14:51because most
14:52of the prophets,
14:53the previous,
14:54they were from
14:54the Bani Israel
14:56and this
14:57Prophet Muhammad,
14:59he came from
14:59Arab side,
15:00that's why
15:00they believe
15:01that why
15:02this Prophet
15:02has come from
15:03Arab,
15:04why not from us?
15:05So due to
15:06just this small
15:07reason,
15:08they did not
15:08accept Prophet Muhammad
15:10as final messenger.
15:11But remember,
15:12Almighty Allah
15:13clearly mentioned
15:13in the Holy Quran
15:14that
15:15ุงูŽู†ูŽู‘ ุดูŽุงู†ู ุงูŽู‚ูŽ
15:16ู‡ููˆูŽ ุงู„ู’ุนูŽุจู’ุชูŽุฑู
15:17that
15:17O Prophet,
15:19O Prophet,
15:20your enemy,
15:22they will be
15:22misplaced
15:23in this universe.
15:24That's why
15:25today when
15:26we call
15:27Prophet Muhammad
15:28we say
15:28peace be upon
15:29him
15:30Sallallahu
15:30Alayhi wa Sallam
15:31but
15:32they are enemies,
15:34no people
15:34give them,
15:35we can say
15:36no people
15:37treat them well
15:37and people
