00:00Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

00:04May peace and mercy of God be upon you all

00:08My name is Sarawana Kumar

00:10See Quran says God exists everywhere

00:14And others also saying God exists everywhere and within everything

00:19And somebody says within ourselves also God is there

00:23And if God exists in everything means

00:26Why don't we worship in ideal?

00:29There is also a God no

00:32Then if not where God exists

00:35Please explain, thank you

00:37The brother asked a very good question

00:39Peace be on you too brother

00:41Peace mercy and blessings of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala be on you brother

00:45The brother asked a very good question

00:47That even the Quran it is mentioned that God exists everywhere

00:51The Muslims believe God exists everywhere

00:53Even the Hindus believe God exists everywhere

00:55So what is the harm in worshipping an idol?

00:57God exists in the idol God exists in human beings also

00:59So what is the harm in worshipping an idol?

01:01Brother no way in the Quran is it mentioned that God exists everywhere

01:05No way in the Quran is it mentioned God exists everywhere

01:08I am aware there is a misconception amongst many Muslims

01:11Who assume God exists everywhere

01:13Who assume God exists everywhere

01:14Nowhere does the Quran exist everywhere

01:16What the Quran says

01:17Allah's power exists everywhere

01:20Allah has the power

01:23The verse of the Quran

01:24Wherever you turn your face

01:26You will see the wajj of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

01:28The face means the power of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

01:30Allah is capable of controlling anything and everything

01:35But the statement he exists everywhere is not mentioned anywhere in the Quran

01:39Neither in any hadith

01:41I am aware that there are certain Muslim lot of misconception

01:44They believe that

01:45This is no way mentioned

01:46But his power exists

01:48Power exists everywhere

01:49Now regarding your question

01:51Where does God exist?

01:52And why can't we worship an idol?

01:54Where does God exist?

01:56The Quran says

01:58Allah is on the arsh

02:00The hadith

02:02Where a lady

02:03Approached and the prophet asked her

02:05Where is God?

02:06She said

02:07Point on top

02:08God said she has iman

02:09She has faith

02:10So God exists on the arsh on the throne

02:12The throne exists on the water

02:14He is up in the heavens

02:15Subhat Najal

02:16He is not in the human being

02:17Yes he can control

02:18Allah says

02:19He is closer to you than your jugular vein

02:22That means

02:23He is aware of everything

02:24His power is there

02:25That doesn't mean

02:26God himself has come into the jugular vein

02:28That doesn't mean that

02:29It means that Allah has power

02:31He is close to you

02:32That means he loves you

02:33He knows you

02:34He knows everything

02:35He has power over everything

02:36Not even a leaf can fall without the permission of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

02:39Now coming to your question

02:40Why can't we worship idols?

02:42If you read the Quran

02:43Quran says

02:44In Surah Maidah chapter 5 verse number 90 which I quoted

02:47Idol worship is prohibited

02:48Same thing

02:50If you read the Bhagavad Gita

02:51Bhagavad Gita

02:52Bhagavad Gita says

02:53In chapter number 7 verse number 20

02:55All those with intelligence

02:57There is a note down brother

02:58Bhagavad Gita chapter number 7 verse number 20

03:01All those with intelligence

03:02Has been stolen by material desires

03:04They worship demigods

03:06So materialistic people

03:08They do idol worship

03:09If you read the Chhandogya Upanishad

03:11Chapter number 6 section number 2 verse number 1

03:14It says

03:16Ikkam evidityam

03:17It's a Sanskrit quotation which means

03:19God is only one without a second

03:22It's mentioned in

03:24The Swetha Sitaru Upanishad

03:26Chapter number 6 verse number 9

03:28Of Him there are no lords

03:33He has got no parents

03:35Almighty God has got no father

03:36He has got no mother

03:38Almighty God has got no superior

03:40He has got no master

03:41It's mentioned in the Shweta Sitaru Upanishad

03:44Chapter number 4 verse number 19

03:46Na ta si pati ma asti

03:48Na ta si pati ma asti

03:49Of Him there is no likeness

03:50It's further repeated

03:52In the Ayurved

03:53Chapter number 32 verse number 3

03:54Na ta si pati ma asti

03:56Of Him there are no images

03:57Almighty God has got no images

03:59So the moment you make an image of Almighty God

04:02You are going against the Veda

04:03You are going against Bhagavad Gita

04:05Bhagavad Gita, Vedas

04:06All these scriptures they speak against idol worship

04:09For the details

04:11You can come to my talk on

04:13Not tomorrow

04:14Next Sunday

04:1518th of January

04:16On similarities

04:17Between Hinduism and Islam

04:19And I deal with this topic in detail

04:21So even idol worship is prohibited in Hinduism

04:25Why do they do?

04:27The Hindu scholars have a certain logic

04:30Which you can reply to that also

04:32You come for my talk similarities between Hinduism and Islam

04:35And insha Allah you will get more knowledge on this aspect

04:38Good evening Dr. Zakir

04:40My name is Roberto

04:41I'm doing BDS in Chennai Savita Dental College

04:44As Dr. Zakir said

04:46God is a unique creator

04:48There is only one

04:49Second thing

04:51You said God created human

04:53But out of love

04:55Third

04:56God has created wealth

04:58Poor

04:59Healthy

05:00And weakness

05:01It's all because of a test

05:03Similarly

05:05In Christian

05:06They believe

05:07God is one

05:09Second point

05:10God created human out of love

05:13Third point

05:15It's the same thing

05:17All this thing is because of a test

05:19By the God

05:20So

05:21I just want to

05:22Have an answer from you

05:24Don't mistake

05:25I'm not a Christian

05:26The brother asked a question

05:28That

05:29Even in Christianity

05:31Like Islam

05:33God is one

05:34And

05:35God loves the creation

05:36And

05:38He further said

05:40He further said

05:41Then what is the difference

05:42You want to know the difference between Islam and Christianity or

05:45It's not the difference

05:46What is the most convincing you think

05:48That

05:49You say that

05:50Other than Islam

05:51Any other type of worship

05:53Is

05:54Non-acceptable

05:55That's a very good question

05:57Now the question has come to

05:58First

05:59There were just blank statements

06:00If it's a question mark

06:01It's a question

06:02If it's a statement

06:03We have to try and find the question

06:04What is the difference between Islamic form of worship

06:07As compared to other form of worship

06:09What is so unique

06:10When Christianity also says God is one

06:12Christianity says that

06:13God also loves

06:14Islam says God is one

06:16Islam says God also loves the creation

06:18Islam says worship

06:19Christianity says worship

06:20What is the difference

06:21Between the worship

06:22Of Islam and Christianity

06:23Or what is the uniqueness about Islam as compared to other religions

06:26Mainly talking about Christianity

06:27Brother

06:28On the face of it

06:29If you read

06:30The Quran correctly

06:33And the interpretation I gave in my talk

06:35And if you read the Bible correctly

06:38The correct interpretation

06:39We believe

06:41That Jesus Christ peace be upon him

06:42He was one of the mightiest messengers of Allah

06:45Subhanahu wa ta'ala

06:46No Muslim is a Muslim

06:47If he does not believe in Jesus Christ peace be upon him

06:50We believe

06:51That he was born miraculously

06:53Without any male intervention

06:54We believe

06:55That he was the Messiah

06:56Transited Christ

06:57We believe

06:58That he healed those

06:59Born, blind and lepers

07:00With God's permission

07:01We believe

07:02That he gave life to the dead

07:04With God's permission

07:06But

07:07There are parting of his

07:09There are many Christians

07:11Who say

07:12That Jesus Christ peace be upon him

07:14He claimed divinity

07:15Now the difference between

07:17What the Bible says

07:18And the difference between

07:19What the Christians assume

07:21And what they practice

07:23The difference between that

07:25So many Christians say

07:26That Jesus Christ peace be upon him

07:27He claimed divinity

07:28So when they say God is one

07:29They say Jesus Christ peace be upon him

07:31Is God

07:32Which we Muslims take objection to

07:34There is not a single

07:35Unequivocal statement

07:36In the complete Bible

07:38Where Jesus Christ peace be upon him

07:39Himself says

07:40Whomself says

07:41That I am God

07:42Or where he says worship me

07:43So the form of worship

07:44For the normal Christian

07:45Is worshipping Jesus Christ peace be upon him

07:48And I repeat

07:49My statement

07:50There is not a single

07:51Unequivocal statement

07:52In the complete Bible

07:53Where Jesus Christ peace be upon him

07:55Himself says

07:56That I am God

07:57Or where he says worship me

07:58If any Christian can show me

07:59Any unequivocal statement

08:00In the Bible

08:01Where Jesus Christ peace be upon him

08:02Says I am God

08:03Or where he says worship me

08:04I Dr. Zakir and I

08:05I am ready to accept Christianity today

08:07I am ready to put my head on the guillotine

08:10I don't speak on behalf of my other Muslim brothers

08:14Because if you read the Bible

08:16It is mentioned in the Gospel of John

08:17Chapter number 14

08:19Verse number 28

08:20Jesus Christ peace be upon him said

08:21That my father is greater than I

08:23Gospel of John

08:24Chapter number 10

08:25Verse number 29

08:26My father is greater than all

08:27Gospel of Matthew

08:28Chapter number 12

08:29Verse number 28

08:30I

08:31With the spirit of God

08:32Cast out devil

08:33Gospel of Luke

08:34Chapter number 11

08:35Verse number 20

08:36I with the finger of God

08:37Cast out devil

08:38Gospel of John

08:39Chapter number 5

08:40Verse number 30

08:41I can of my own self do nothing

08:42As I hear I judge

08:44And my judgment is just

08:45For I seek not my will

08:46But the will of my father

08:47Anyone who says I seek not my will

08:49But the will of almighty God

08:50Is a Muslim

08:51Therefore I said in my talk

08:52That Jesus Christ peace be upon him

08:54Was a Muslim

08:55Quran says that in

08:56Sula al-Imran

08:57Chapter 3 verse 52

08:58It's further mentioned in the Gospel of John

08:59Chapter number 17

09:00Verse number 3

09:01Life eternal

09:02So that you may know

09:03Jesus Christ

09:04Whom thou hast sent

09:05It's mentioned in the Gospel of John

09:07Chapter number 14

09:08Verse number 24

09:09The words you hear are not mine

09:11But my father's who has sent me

09:13It's clearly mentioned in the book of Acts

09:15Chapter number 2

09:16Verse number 22

09:17E men of Israel

09:18Listen to this

09:19In the place of Nazareth

09:20A man approved of God

09:21Amongst you

09:22By wonders and miracles

09:23Which God did by him

09:24And you are witness to it

09:25A man approved of God amongst you

09:27By wonders and miracles

09:28Which God did by him

09:29And you are witness to it

09:30So Jesus Christ peace be upon him

09:32Was one of the mightiest messengers of God

09:34But he never claimed divinity

09:36He never said you should worship me

09:37But unfortunately

09:38The Christian church today they teach

09:40That salvation

09:42Bible also talks about heaven

09:44Talks about hell

09:45But the purpose of existence

09:47Is not mentioned in detail

09:50It's not mentioned at all

09:51Except

09:52What Paul has mentioned

09:54Paul mentioned in Corinthians

09:56Chapter number 15

09:58He says

09:59In the first Corinthians

10:00Chapter number 15

10:01That

10:02If Jesus Christ peace be upon him

10:04Died not for your sins

10:05Your faith is in vain

10:07And everything is in vain

10:09That means

10:10Jesus Christ peace be upon him

10:11He died for your sins

10:13According to Paul

10:14And they quote

10:15The verse of the Bible

10:18Gospel of John chapter number 3

10:19Verse number 16

10:20That

10:21For God's soul of the world

10:22That he gave his only begotten son

10:24Whosoever believeth in him

10:25Shall not die

10:26But have everlasting life

10:27So the concept of salvation

10:28According to the church

10:29Is

10:30That you believe Jesus Christ peace be upon

10:32Died for your sins

10:33And you shall go to Jannah

10:34You shall go to paradise

10:35Which is not mentioned

10:37Because the word begotten

10:38From gospel of John chapter number 3

10:40Verse number 16

10:41Has been thrown out

10:42By 32 scholars

10:43Of the highest eminence

10:44From the RSV

10:45Revised and version of the Bible

10:46As a concoction

10:47As a fabrication

10:48As an interpolation

10:49So what they are following

10:51Is more of Pauline Christianity

10:52But Jesus Christ peace be upon him said

10:54When a person approaches him

10:55In the gospel of Matthew

10:56Chapter number 19

10:57Verse number 16 and 17

10:58That good master

10:59What good things shall I do

11:01So that I shall gain eternal life

11:03What good things shall I do

11:05So that I shall go to Jannah paradise

11:06Go to Jannah paradise

11:07So Jesus Christ peace be upon him replies

11:09Why thou callest me good

11:10There is none good except

11:12One

11:13That is almighty God

11:14And if thou want to enter eternal life

11:16You follow the commandments

11:18He didn't say that

11:19If you want to go to Jannah

11:20Want to go to paradise

11:21You believe that I died for your sins

11:23He never said that

11:24He said follow the commandments

11:25And Jesus Christ peace be upon him said

11:27It's mentioned in the gospel of Matthew

11:28Chapter number 5

11:29Verse number 17 to 20

11:31That think not that

11:32I am come to destroy the law of the prophets

11:34I have come not to destroy but to fulfill

11:36Unless the heavens and the earth pass away

11:39Not one jot or little shall be passed away from the law

11:41Until all be fulfilled

11:42And whosoever shall keep the commandments

11:45And teach men to do so

11:46Shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven

11:48And whosoever shall break one of the least commandments

11:51Will be called least in the kingdom of heaven

11:52Unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the skies

11:55And the Pharisees

11:56In no way shall you enter into paradise

11:59Because if you want to be a good Christian

12:01You have to follow all the commandments

12:03There is only one God

12:04You should not do idol worship

12:05Or what Moses peace be upon him said

12:06So here we analyze

12:07If we do a research of the biblical scriptures

12:09It is actually believing in one God

12:11Not Trinity

12:12Allah says in the Quran

12:13In Surah Nisaa chapter 4

12:14Verse 171

12:15Don't say Trinity

12:18This has stopped it better for you

12:20So if you say God is three in one

12:22It is shirk

12:23You won't get salvation

12:24There is no statement at all about Trinity

12:27The word Trinity does not exist anywhere in the Bible

12:29But it is there in the Quran

12:31We said Surah Nisaa chapter 4

12:33Verse 171

12:34It is also then Surah Maidah chapter number 5

12:35Verse number 73

12:36It says

12:37They are doing kufr

12:41They are blaspheming those who say that God is three in one

12:44The word Trinity doesn't exist anywhere in the Bible

12:47The closest statement is the first epistle of John

12:49Chapter number 5 verse number 7

12:51Which says

12:52There are three that bear a call in heaven

12:53The Father

12:54The Son and the Holy Ghost

12:55And these three are one

12:56And this verse of the Bible

12:57By 32 scholars of the highest time

12:59Christian scholars

13:00In the Revised Standard Version of the Bible

13:02They have thrown this verse out of the Bible

13:04As interpolation

13:05As a fabrication

13:06As a concoction

13:07So the verse which comes closest to the Trinity

13:09Doesn't mention Trinity

13:10But comes closest

13:11Is thrown out by the scholars of Christianity

13:13As a fabrication

13:14So if we analyze

13:15If you want to check what is right

13:17In the Bible

13:18Here is the Furkan

13:19This is the criteria

13:20It will tell you what is right

13:21What is wrong

13:22And if you compare with this

13:23And even today

13:24If you read the Bible

13:25The Bible never claimed that Jesus is God

13:27Peace be upon him

13:28It says you should worship only one God

13:30And when Jesus Christ

13:31Peace be upon him

13:32Is asked that which is the first of the commandments

13:34It's mentioned in the Gospel of Mark

13:35Chapter number 12

13:36Verse number 29

13:37It says

13:38It's a Hebrew quotation which means

13:41Your O Israel

13:42The Lord

13:43Our God is one Lord

13:44So the problem is

13:45That if you read the Bible

13:46The exact purpose of creation is not mentioned

13:48It is vague

13:49The Christian church

13:51Has taken up a teaching of Paul

13:54Saint Paul

13:55And says

13:56That you believe Jesus Christ peace be upon him

13:57And died for your sins

13:58And you will go to heaven

14:00Then you do anything

14:01You rob

14:02You rape

14:03You do anything

14:04If he's paid for our sins

14:05If Jesus Christ peace be upon him

14:06Paid for our sins

14:07I can do anything

14:08For example someone tells me

14:11To a restaurant

14:12Go to the restaurant

14:13Eat what you want

14:14I can eat anything

14:15Chicken, maten, biryani

14:16Anything I can eat

14:17So if Jesus Christ peace be upon him

14:18I died for my sins

14:19Then you can commit any sin

14:21And you go to heaven

14:22Only you have to believe

14:23That he died for your sins

14:24So this is the concept of the church

14:26Which is not what the Bible mentions

14:27And you can refer to my video cassette

14:29Similarities between Islam and Christianity

14:31Which gives the similarities

14:33That's the reason I say

14:34That Jesus Christ taught nothing

14:36But Islam

14:37That is submitting a will to Almighty God

14:39Welcome back friends

14:40I hope you enjoy the video

14:41Till the last minute

14:42My dear brother and sister

14:44Who is God

14:45If someone ask me that

14:47Who is your God

14:48Who is your Lord

14:49So I will definitely answer that

14:51My Lord and my God is only one

14:53That is one and only

14:55Almighty Allah

14:56In the Holy Quran it says

14:58قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدْ

14:59اللَّهُ سَّمَتْ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُلْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدْ

15:05My dear brother and sister

15:07Almighty Allah create us

15:09And each and every living organism

15:11Which we can see with our neck eye

15:13And which we cannot see with our neck eye

15:16And Almighty Allah clearly mention in the Holy Quran

15:19وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّةِ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَابَتُونَ

15:23My dear brother and sister

15:25When Almighty Allah create this universe

15:27And all this living organism

15:29Almighty Allah has sent his messengers

15:32To their people

15:33To their slaves

15:34That they must follow the way of Allah

15:37The faith of Almighty Allah

15:39When Prophet Adam

15:41When he came to this universe

15:43He and her wife

15:45Hawa

15:46They live in this universe

15:48And after some time

15:50They went away

15:51So another people came

15:52And by this way

15:53Million and trillions of people came and went away

15:56So my dear brother and sister

15:58This world is not

15:59Is a permanent place for us

16:01For everyone

16:02This world is not a permanent place

16:05We can say this is the temporary place

16:08And there is a life

16:10Which is coming after the death

16:12That is the life of existence forever

16:15And that life is called the day of Akhirah

16:18So in this world

16:20This life

16:21This temporary life

16:22This will be very suitable for us

16:25If we make it useful in our life

16:28We can make it useful by following the basic teachings of Holy Quran and Ahadith

16:34And follow our Prophet Muhammad

16:39In every work of life

16:41In the Holy Quran

16:42Almighty Allah

16:43Clearly mentioned

16:44That you do not see that we create human beings from a single drop of water

16:55From the sperm

16:57And he clear

16:59He is a fighter with us

17:02He is a fighting with us

17:04So yes

17:05A human being can fight with Almighty Allah

17:07Like Firaun

17:08Because he may fight with Almighty Allah

17:11He introduced himself as a God

17:13As a Lord

17:14And accept that he is a human

17:18He was a human

17:19Beside he was a human

17:20And he want to fight with Almighty Allah

17:22Nobody can fight with Almighty Allah

17:26Almighty Allah

17:27Almighty Allah is one

17:28He has the power

17:29And in the Holy Quran

17:31Several times

17:32It is mentioned

17:33That Almighty Allah has the power

17:39Almighty Allah has the power

17:41Everywhere

17:42The power of Almighty Allah is present

17:44And in the Holy Quran

17:47Almighty Allah says

17:48Like the artery

17:53From where

17:54From which we can get

17:57We can get here

17:58Inhale and exhale

17:59Almighty Allah says in the Holy Quran

18:02That I am much closer to you

18:05Than that artery

18:06Through which you can exhale or inhale

18:09It means that whenever we feel scary

18:15Or we face any problem in our life

18:18We should discuss it with our Almighty Allah

18:21And we can also take help from Almighty Allah

18:25Through the Holy Quran

18:27And through the prayer

18:29So Inshallah Almighty Allah will take that dangers away from us

18:34So this person asked the question that

18:36If Almighty Allah is present everywhere

18:39So why we should not pray in front of idols

18:43Because Almighty Allah clearly mentioned in the Holy Quran

18:46Inna Allah la yaghfiru ayyushraq bihi wa yaghfiru maduna zalika limayya shaa

18:52Almighty Allah will never forgive the sin of shirk

18:56So if you are making shirk with Almighty Allah

18:59It will never be forgotten

19:02And shirk means that when you combine

19:05When you associate something with God

19:08With Almighty Allah

19:09So that is totally prohibited in Islam

19:12So idols

19:13Idol is completely prohibited

19:15In Islam

19:17In every religion

19:18It is prohibited

19:19But they did not study

19:20And they did not understand their books

19:22Plus here Dr. Zakir Naik

19:24Give him a very beautiful answer

19:26That it doesn't mean that Almighty Allah is present

19:30It means that the power of Almighty Allah is present everywhere

19:33That's why Almighty Allah clearly mentioned in the Holy Quran

19:36Inna allaha ala kulli shai'in qadeer

19:40So Dr. Zakir Naik
