Shiekh uthman I have been watching your videos for a long time. I came to your channel as a Christian and used to dislike all your videos. After watching so many of your videos I have come to realize islam is the truth. How can I contact you to become a muslim?
Just say I am bear witness that there is no God but Allah and I am bear witness that Muhammad(pbuh)is a messenger of Allah. Here you go you are a Muslim now
I just want to update everyone. I cant read all these messages but thank you all for your good wishes. I have contacted Sheikh Uthman and I am now a Muslim!!!
I'm a Muslim & I got new knowledge today. Never knew the difference between ahad & wahid. I'm not native arabic speaker. I can read the Quran but cannot speak Arabic and don't understand it without translation
This is what most of the people don't understand. The Arabic Quran is not the same as what arabs speak. Every native Arab who wants to know more about islam should take Fus-ha arabic classes first like a non-Arab. I remember a long time ago, a Palestinian-American Christian scholar called Anis Shorosh who was debating with an indian muslim scholar tried to brag about him being Arab knows and understands the Koran more than anyone else. The sheikh gave him a mus-haf and told him to read suratu Talaq and the rest is story😁😂🤣
@@lweil9536 tell me about it had a one in school who I was cool with called me one of the 'good' Muslims 🤨 and insisted he was white even though he as brown as me 🤣
I love the sheikh's Arabic, mashallah. I myself am an Arab, who due to immigrating a lot, I have had a difficulty honing my dialect, let alone standard Arabic. However, my parents have attempted to immigrate to Arab countries, to allow me to learn Arabic. Fast forward, I have had a decent grasp of several Arabic dialects, but I lack in a strong understanding of standard Arabic grammar. It is what made things difficult for me to communicate and to learn new things, and to even develop as a person, for I always felt different and like I didn't belong to anyone. I learned the English language through reading books, and it had surpassed my Arabic by a lot. It has even allowed me to improve myself intellectually. Eventually, it all came to a full circle, where I had to reconnect with my religion, and to learn the Quran again. I realised that as a muslim, in order to be the best version I can be, I ought to practice my religion, and to learn more about Islam. The more I learn about my faith, the more I believe with reason. Again, your Arabic sounds beautiful sheikh. May Allah bless you, and all muslims involved in One Message Foundation.
They didn't want to try to hear you out or review the research, because they knew they couldn't prove you wrong. Also I have to commend your use of body language and tone. You are doing great work. I Would love to see more out reach to the Latino masses globally, we need the help. Each one teach one. Peace.

I have wondered the same since I started listening to recitations. The term us left me wondering also. When the Bible says us or we it's implied it is referring to "GOD" and the angels. I'm still learning and deprogramming from the confusion. Inshallah I will learn Arabic, it is a challenge to learn to read from right to left.
I'm waiting for Sheikh Uthman to get his own TV Channel.... A Modern Day Deedat SubhanAllah. May Allah preserve, keep firm, and elevate our scholars and admit them into the Highest of Heavens!

He will definitely not look at the given verses or crosscheck them with his bible too😁 The problem of blindly believing in church teachings than the bible teachings 🤣
Hello Sheikh Uthman! I'm a Turkish Muslim and I have been watching your videos for some time. We've same name actually :D I like your videos thanks for sharing dawah It is really helpful. May Allah bless you. I hope we can reach other people. Be with Allah all brothers and sisters. All muslims in every countries must stick together.
"If you belive in Jesus then why don't you approve of the Bible" Simply just say I believe in him as a prophet and I approve in him by the Qur'an not the Bible.
Assalamualaikum Sheikh, Hope you are doing well. This is a student of Comparative Religions, Am from Hyderabad, India, am totally attracted to your style of preaching and Good behaviour for Non-Muslims. I wish to see you on Instagram so that you could add these contradictions on posts so that people like me could use it for preaching. As we live in India, we face a lot of Negativity for Muslims, yet there are Gud Hindus too who wants to learn about the reality of Islam and Alhamdulillah I belong to an organisation that Make International Religious Conference yearly and we showed a lot of people the path of Islam, our ancestors sacrificed there life’s as to follow the path of Allah and the teachings of Rasullah(sws) to show them what’s inside there(Hindus, Christianity, Sikhism,etc) there own scriptures about oneness of God and about Kalki Avtar, Jagath Guru(these were the words mentioned in Vedas and other Hindu scriptures about Rasullah(sws)) and tawheed from those scriptures. Hope you have a wonderful life and May Allah take more and more Deeni Qidmat from you. JazakAllah ❤️
Thanks brother for your dawah, I’m moroccan living in America, I want to one day create a community and have all faith in them inchallah and live together and maybe they will turn Muslim if they want.. I want to follow allah the best way I can and today a lot of Muslims don’t really follow allah they only pray 5 times a day and leave the rest like they don’t have to do more, when I speak abt Hadith they don’t know and they tell me well I pray everyday but we must want to know allah and learn the full way to follow allah, today the world is changing but our deen will stay the same inchallah
Arab Christians in my country Egypt rarely show gratefulness to Islam that saved them from Roman persecution and return their fled pope and churches to them, Also give them peace and free worshipping , they even follow their own law something that doesn't happen even in the west
cardiologist say !! you can do 1 week without food, 1 week without drinking. But how long can you go without breath? those mouth masks don't help !!! they are harmful to health !!! their goal is for the people to wear the masks, they obey the devil's regime and then afterwards they vaccinate all of you. those vaccinations are deadly and have a purpose. Check everything carefully. can you protect chickens with chicken wire against mosquitoes? those face masks don't help against viruses either. this is a plot for communism to be implemented by atheists. our body is full of viruses, the sea is full of viruses. ask guidance to allah swt. ask allah swt to make you the truth clear! pay attention!! wake up!!!! the real virus is communism, covid 19 is just how it spreads
@@bravoskilabaak3369 a mask is not a absolute immunity or able to avoid death. The purpose mask is to reduce the germ spread. Doctors wear it during checkup and surgery so they don't contiminate their patient. Soldier wear mask to prevent dust or foreign object into their mouth. Firefighter wear mask so they don't inhale deadly fumes. If the frontlinersbcan wear it for hours then why can't you wear it for a few minutes in grocery store or in public?
@@bravoskilabaak3369 As Muslims, we should take precautions during the time of Pandemic. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Tie her (your camel) and trust in Allah.” As Muslims, we recognize spheres of expertise-people who have Islamic knowledge and provide spiritual guidance, and people who have expertise in other areas and offer guidance in those areas. For example, when farmers asked the Prophet (ﷺ) for agricultural advice, he (ﷺ) said to them, “You know the affairs (agriculture) better than I do.” So we should listen to the experts of science and dont spread falsehood or rumors, without checking the facts! God said in Quran, “O you who believe! If a Faasiq (liar - evil person) comes to you with any news, verify it, lest you should harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful for what you have done.” (49:6). So be careful with any rumors!

Similarities between Hinduism Islam 1. Definition of a Hindu The word Hindu has geographical significance and was used originally for those people who lived beyond the river Sindhu or the region watered by the river Indus. Some historians say that it was first used by the Persians who came to India through the north western passes of the Himalayas. The word Hindu is no where mentioned in Indian literature or scriptures before the advent of Muslims to India, according to the Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics. According to Jawaharlal Nehru in the book Discovery of India on page 74-75, he writes that the earliest reference to the word Hindu can be traced to a tantrik of the 8th Century CE, where it means a people and not a follower of a particular religion. The use of the word Hindu in connection with a particular religion is of late occurrence. In short Hindu is a geographical definition used for the people living beyond the river Indus or those living in India 2. Definition of Hinduism a) Hinduism has been derived from the word Hindu. Hinduism was a name given in English language in the Nineteenth Century by the English people to the multiplicity of the beliefs and faith of the people of the Indus land. According to New Encyclopedia Britannica 20:581. The British writers in 1830 gave the word Hinduism to be used as the common name for all the beliefs of the people of India excluding the Muslims and converted Christians. b) The term Hinduism is misleading because though it suggests the unified system of beliefs and ideas, it is certainly not the case. Hinduism is too broad a phenomenon to be confined to a usual definitions of religions. It does not owe its origin, formation or finalization to any historical person or a prophet since there is no uniformly accepted belief sacraments, rituals and practices in Hinduism, there are no criteria for establishing rules in Hinduism. In short a person who calls himself a Hindu becomes a true practicing Hindu irrespective who he worships and what ever may be his beliefs and practice. c) According to the Hindu scholars Hinduism is a misnomer and it should be referred a Sanatana Dharma, meaning eternal religion or Vedic Dharma meaning religion of the Veda. According to Swami Vivekananda the followers of this religion is referred as Vedantist. B. Introduction of Islam 1. Definition of Islam Islam is an Arabic word which comes from the word ‘Salaam’ which means ‘Peace’. It also means submitting your will to Allah - the Almighty God. In short Islam means peace acquired by submitting your will to Allah (SWT). 2. Definition of a Muslim A Muslim is a person who submits his will to Allah - the Almighty God. 3. Misconception about Islam Many people have a misconception that Islam is a new religion which came into existence 1400 years ago and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the founder of the religion of Islam. Infact Islam is there since time immemorial, since man set foot on the earth. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is not the founder of the religion of Islam but he is the last and final messenger of Islam. II. Pillars of Faith (Imaan) - Pillars of Hinduism Pillars of Faith in Hinduism are not defined. As mentioned earlier that Hinduism does not have a set of unified or codified beliefs. Neither does it have any fixed pillars or principles which are obligatory for its followers to practice. A Hindu has a freedom to

I really wish we have someone like Sheikh in my country which can explained with such compassion and also help us to understand more and learn more about Islam...

I wonder one thing....all the while since day one when christians went to churches and start reading the bible and then they grown up of their entire life, don't they ever asking or come across or found the contradictions in the book ? Do they really read the bible intensively in the church ? If they do I am sure they will found at least one contradiction in it. And if they do read it, do they really follow what Jesus said according to the bible ? The answer is, yes they read bible but they choose what to read and they skip what they don't like to read. Question : 1. Does the book has integrity as fully god's words ? 2. Does the christian has integrrity to live based on something that is questionable and unverified authenticity ? 3. Do christians not ponder that every question they asked about islam is answered by the muslim based on guided given by the Quran or prophets. 4. Do Christians not ponder that a lot of questions asked by the muslim about Christianity do not have specific answer or a firm explanation.
For many centuries, masses were not allowed to read the Bible. This of course caused the people to run away from the church and the growing Atheism. Majority of Christianity never read whole Bible, that is those attend church. How about those who are Christians by name? Christianity will be in shock for many decades and centuries to come due to mass communication and availability of the knowledge n front of ones fingertips across the globe.

The Quran contains many prophecies that have been fulfilled, but in this discussion, we will limit ourselves to only five.[1] The first two prophecies are noteworthy: unlike any other world scripture, the Quran prophesizes its own preservation under divine care, and we will demonstrate how it actually occurred. The Protection of the Quran from Corruption The Quran makes a claim no other religious text makes, that God Himself will keep its text safe from alteration. God says: "Behold, it is We Ourselves who have gradually revealed this reminder, and, behold, it is We who shall truly guard it [from all corruption]." (Quran 15:9) The Ease of Memorizing the Quran God has made the Quran easy to memorize: "And in truth We have made the Quran easy to remember; who, then, is willing to take it to heart?" (Quran 54:17) The ease with which Quran is memorized is inimitable. There is not a single scripture or religious text in the world that is as easy to memorize; even non-Arabs and children commit it to memory easily. The entire Quran is memorized by almost every Islamic scholar and hundreds of thousands of ordinary Muslims, generation after generation. Almost every Muslim has some portion of the Quran memorized to read in his prayers. The Twofold Prophecy Before the rise of Islam, the Romans and the Persians were two competing superpowers. Romans were led by Heraclius (610-641 CE), a Christian Emperor, whereas the Persians were Zoroastrians led by Khosrow Parviz (reigned 590-628 CE), under whom the empire achieved its greatest expansion. In 614, the Persians conquered Syria and Palestine, taking Jerusalem, destroying the Holy Sepulcher and the ‘True Cross’ carried to Ctesiphon. Then, in 619, they occupied Egypt and Libya. Heraclius met them at Thracian Heraclea (617 or 619), but they sought to capture him, and he rode madly back to Constantinople, hotly pursued.[2] The Muslims were grieved by the Roman defeat as they felt spiritually closer to Christian Rome than Zoroastrian Persia, but the Meccans were naturally buoyed up by the victory of pagan Persia. To Meccans, the Roman humiliation was a sinister omen of the defeat of the Muslims at pagan hands. At the time God’s prophecy comforted the faithful: "The Romans have been defeated - in a land close by; but they, (even) after (this) defeat of theirs, will soon be victorious- within ten years. With God is the Decision, in the past and in the future: on that Day shall the believers rejoice with the help of God. He helps whom He will, and He is the Mighty, the Most-Merciful." (Quran 30:2-5) The Quran made a prophecy of two victories: (i) The future Roman victory within ten years over Persians, something unimaginable at the time (ii) The joy of the faithful on a victory over the pagans Both of these prophecies actually occured. In 622, Heraclius left Constantinople as prayers rose from its many sanctuaries for victory over the Persian Zoroastrians and the reconquest of Jerusalem. He devoted the next two years to campaigns in Armenia. In 627, he met the Persians near Nineveh. There, he killed three Persian generals in single combat, killed the Persian commander, and scattered the Persian host. A month later, Heraclius entered Dastagird with its stupendous treasure. Khosrow was overthrown by his son, who made peace with Heraclius. Returning to Constantinople in triumph, Heraclius was hailed as a hero.[3] Also, in the year 624 AH, Muslims defeated the Meccans in the first and decisive Battle at Badr. In the words of an Indian scholar: "…a single line of prophecy was related to four nations and the fate of two great empires. All this proves the Holy Quran to be the Book of God."[4] The Prophecy of Pagan Defeat The Quran predicted the defeat of unbelievers in Mecca while Prophet Muhammad and his followers were still being persecuted by them: "Or do they (the Meccan disbelievers) say: ‘We are a great multitude, and we shall be victorious?’ Their multitude will be defeated, , and they shall turn their backs [in flight]!" (Quran 54:45) The prophecy was revealed in Mecca, but was fulfilled at the Battle of Badr, two years after the Prophet’s migration to the city of Medina. The Fate of Specific Individuals Waleed ibn Mugheera was a staunch enemy who openly ridiculed the Quran: "Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old; this is nothing but the word of a mortal!" (Quran 74:24-25) The Quran prophesized he will never accept Islam: "Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire! And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is? It leaves naught nor does it spare aught." (Quran 74:26-28) Waleed died in a state of disbelief as prophesized by the Quran. Also, concerning Abu Lahab, a fiery opponent of Islam, the Quran foretold he will die opposing the religion of God: "May the hands of Abu Lahab perish, and [indeed] he has perished. His wealth and gains will not profit him. He will be plunged in flaming Fire." (Quran 111:1-3) Specifically, three prophecies were made about Abu Lahab: (i) The conspiracies of Abu Lahab against the Prophet would not succeed. (ii) His wealth and children would not benefit him. (iii) He would die opposing God’s religion and enter the Fire. Abu Lahab also died in a state of disbelief as prophesized by the Quran. Had Waleed or Abu Lahab accepted Islam even outwardly, they would have disproved its prophecies and thus its heavenly source! In addition, Abu Lahab had four sons, two of whom died at a young age during his lifetime. The other two sons and a daughter embraced Islam and frustrated his hopes! Finally, he died of a plague; people would not touch his body out of fear of contamination and dumped mud and stones on him where he died to make it his grave. A key foundation to believing that a scripture is actually a revelation of God is internal truth, whether it be in regards to occurrences in the past, to come in the future, or in contemporary ages. As one can see, there are many prophecies mentioned in that which is to come, some of which were fulfilled in the Prophet’s lifetime, or have been fulfilled since his death, while others are yet to appear www.islamreligion.com/articles/347/prophecies-of-quran/
May Allah guide our lost brothers before they die as disbelievers, no one can force anyone to accept Islam we can only show the door 🚪 as the sheikh said
Knower of the unseen is Allāh. They may come next sunday, or they may come after the previous one. The knowledge is with Allāh. Allāh guides whom He wills. It is not decreed, that they will not become muslims, may Allāh guide them and us to the right path.
That's why allah says, "We created the heavens and the earths" he said "We" to glorify himself, he could have said "I create created the heavens and the earth" but he chose the other way to glorify himself
Concept of God in Islam Monotheism, belief in one God, is the most important and foundational concept in Islam. Muslims believe in one God who created the universe and has power over everything within it. He is unique and exalted above everything He creates, and His greatness cannot be compared to His creation. Furthermore, He is the only one deserving of any worship and the ultimate purpose of all creation is to submit to Him. The Islamic understanding of God is distinct from all other religions and beliefs in various respects since it is based on a pure and clear understanding of monotheism. This essentially captures the concept of God in Islam, which will be further elaborated in this pamphlet. Muslims often refer to God as Allah. This is a universal name for God and does not refer to an exclusively ‘Islamic’ God. Interestingly, this name is related to the Aramaic and Hebrew names for God, Allaha and Elohim. Therefore, Allah is simply the Arabic name for God which affirms that He is One singular God with no partners or equals. The name Allah cannot be pluralized or limited to a specific gender, which establishes that God is One and that He is unique from everything He creates. Muslims continue to use this original Arabic name for God (Allah) since it perfectly expresses His unique qualities. God is the Creator and the Sustainer of the universe who created everything for a reason. Muslims believe that He created humankind with a simple purpose - to worship Him. He sent messengers to guide people in fulfilling this purpose. Some of these messengers include Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, peace be upon all of them. They all taught a consistent message about God by affirming His greatness as the Creator and guiding people to worship Him alone. This basic concept has always resonated with people’s natural understanding of God. (Click here to learn more about prophets in Islam.) When the final prophet, Muhammad, peace be upon him (pbuh), was asked about God, the answer came directly from God in the holy book of Muslims, the Quran (also spelled ‘Koran’): “Say, ‘He is God the One, God the eternal. He begot no one nor was He begotten. No one is comparable to Him.’” [112:1-4] This is a clear statement by God describing Himself to humanity without any room for confusion. God is One and is exalted above everything He creates and He is capable over all things. Fully accepting the oneness of God is to accept that He is distinct from everything else. It would not suit God’s majesty and glory to associate the limited attributes of His creation to Him because He is not restricted in any way, while His creation is. He is the First with no beginning and the Last with no end. Everything in the universe was created by His will. He is not confined by space or time and He is the only One who is in control and provides for His creation. “He is God: there is no god other than Him. It is He who knows what is hidden as well as what is in the open, He is the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy. He is God: there is no god other than Him, the Controller, the Holy One, Source of Peace, Granter of Security, Guardian over all, the Almighty, the Compeller, the Truly Great; God is far above anything they consider to be His partner. He is God: the Creator, the Originator, the Shaper. The best names belong to Him. Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him: He is the Almighty, the Wise.” [Quran, 59:22-24] Why did God create people whom He already knew would reject Him and go to hell? Shouldn’t God who is All Loving instead not create them so that they won’t go through punishment? These are some common questions connected to this topic. Answered by Nouman Ali Khan Pure Monotheism “God: there is no god but Him, the Ever Living, the Ever Watchful. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. All that is in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Him. Who is there that can intercede with Him except by His leave? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, but they do not comprehend any of His knowledge except what He wills. His throne extends over the heavens and the earth; it does not weary Him to preserve them both. He is the Most High, the Tremendous.” [Quran, 2:255] The primary pillar of Islamic belief clearly states that there is nothing worthy of worship except God. Associating partners with God or attributing qualities of lesser beings to Him is considered to be the greatest sin in Islam. In the past, this often took the form of idol worship or praying to multiple lesser gods. Although this is less common now, the current era has replaced many of the physical ‘idols’ of the past with other contemporary ‘gods.’ Many people today allow passions like entertainment, drugs, relationships or material objects to become the center of their lives. They become so consumed with these things that they submit to whatever will allow them to fulfill their desires. For example, if a drug addict allows their addiction to control their actions, beliefs, feelings, and behaviors, causing them to risk their personal safety and the safety of others, that drug has essentially become their god. Likewise, if another person puts a loved one before God by obeying that person even if that causes them to transgress against God’s commands, their loved one has taken precedence over God. Islam teaches that people should completely submit only to God as He is the only One worthy of their worship. He is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe and everything in it belongs to Him. The Quran points out the faulty thinking of those who worship other than God: “‘How can you worship things you carve with your own hands, when it is God who has created you and all your handiwork?’” [37:95-96]
@@christiankhoury9343 The Quran contains many prophecies that have been fulfilled, [1] The first two prophecies are noteworthy: unlike any other world scripture, the Quran prophesizes its own preservation under divine care, and we will demonstrate how it actually occurred. The Protection of the Quran from Corruption The Quran makes a claim no other religious text makes, that God Himself will keep its text safe from alteration. God says: "Behold, it is We Ourselves who have gradually revealed this reminder, and, behold, it is We who shall truly guard it [from all corruption]." (Quran 15:9) The Ease of Memorizing the Quran God has made the Quran easy to memorize: "And in truth We have made the Quran easy to remember; who, then, is willing to take it to heart?" (Quran 54:17) The ease with which Quran is memorized is inimitable. There is not a single scripture or religious text in the world that is as easy to memorize; even non-Arabs and children commit it to memory easily. The entire Quran is memorized by almost every Islamic scholar and hundreds of thousands of ordinary Muslims, generation after generation. Almost every Muslim has some portion of the Quran memorized to read in his prayers. The Twofold Prophecy Before the rise of Islam, the Romans and the Persians were two competing superpowers. Romans were led by Heraclius (610-641 CE), a Christian Emperor, whereas the Persians were Zoroastrians led by Khosrow Parviz (reigned 590-628 CE), under whom the empire achieved its greatest expansion. In 614, the Persians conquered Syria and Palestine, taking Jerusalem, destroying the Holy Sepulcher and the ‘True Cross’ carried to Ctesiphon. Then, in 619, they occupied Egypt and Libya. Heraclius met them at Thracian Heraclea (617 or 619), but they sought to capture him, and he rode madly back to Constantinople, hotly pursued.[2] The Muslims were grieved by the Roman defeat as they felt spiritually closer to Christian Rome than Zoroastrian Persia, but the Meccans were naturally buoyed up by the victory of pagan Persia. To Meccans, the Roman humiliation was a sinister omen of the defeat of the Muslims at pagan hands. At the time God’s prophecy comforted the faithful: "The Romans have been defeated - in a land close by; but they, (even) after (this) defeat of theirs, will soon be victorious- within ten years. With God is the Decision, in the past and in the future: on that Day shall the believers rejoice with the help of God. He helps whom He will, and He is the Mighty, the Most-Merciful." (Quran 30:2-5) The Quran made a prophecy of two victories: (i) The future Roman victory within ten years over Persians, something unimaginable at the time (ii) The joy of the faithful on a victory over the pagans Both of these prophecies actually occured. In 622, Heraclius left Constantinople as prayers rose from its many sanctuaries for victory over the Persian Zoroastrians and the reconquest of Jerusalem. He devoted the next two years to campaigns in Armenia. In 627, he met the Persians near Nineveh. There, he killed three Persian generals in single combat, killed the Persian commander, and scattered the Persian host. A month later, Heraclius entered Dastagird with its stupendous treasure. Khosrow was overthrown by his son, who made peace with Heraclius. Returning to Constantinople in triumph, Heraclius was hailed as a hero.[3] Also, in the year 624 AH, Muslims defeated the Meccans in the first and decisive Battle at Badr. In the words of an Indian scholar: "…a single line of prophecy was related to four nations and the fate of two great empires. All this proves the Holy Quran to be the Book of God."[4] The Prophecy of Pagan Defeat The Quran predicted the defeat of unbelievers in Mecca while Prophet Muhammad and his followers were still being persecuted by them: "Or do they (the Meccan disbelievers) say: ‘We are a great multitude, and we shall be victorious?’ Their multitude will be defeated, , and they shall turn their backs [in flight]!" (Quran 54:45) The prophecy was revealed in Mecca, but was fulfilled at the Battle of Badr, two years after the Prophet’s migration to the city of Medina. The Fate of Specific Individuals Waleed ibn Mugheera was a staunch enemy who openly ridiculed the Quran: "Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old; this is nothing but the word of a mortal!" (Quran 74:24-25) The Quran prophesized he will never accept Islam: "Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire! And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is? It leaves naught nor does it spare aught." (Quran 74:26-28) Waleed died in a state of disbelief as prophesized by the Quran. Also, concerning Abu Lahab, a fiery opponent of Islam, the Quran foretold he will die opposing the religion of God: "May the hands of Abu Lahab perish, and [indeed] he has perished. His wealth and gains will not profit him. He will be plunged in flaming Fire." (Quran 111:1-3) Specifically, three prophecies were made about Abu Lahab: (i) The conspiracies of Abu Lahab against the Prophet would not succeed. (ii) His wealth and children would not benefit him. (iii) He would die opposing God’s religion and enter the Fire. Abu Lahab also died in a state of disbelief as prophesized by the Quran. Had Waleed or Abu Lahab accepted Islam even outwardly, they would have disproved its prophecies and thus its heavenly source! In addition, Abu Lahab had four sons, two of whom died at a young age during his lifetime. The other two sons and a daughter embraced Islam and frustrated his hopes! Finally, he died of a plague; people would not touch his body out of fear of contamination and dumped mud and stones on him where he died to make it his grave. A key foundation to believing that a scripture is actually a revelation of God is internal truth, whether it be in regards to occurrences in the past, to come in the future, or in contemporary ages. As one can see, there are many prophecies mentioned in that which is to come, some of which were fulfilled in the Prophet’s lifetime, or have been fulfilled since his death, while others are yet to appear
IN PRESENT WEST AFRICAN LANGUAGES, WE STILL USE 'WE' AND 'THEM'' FOR A SINGULAR PERSON WHO IS OLDER THAN US, OR IN A POSITION OF AUTHORITY. IN FACT, A KING, QUEEN, PRINCE, PRICESS, GOVERNORS, PRESIDENTS ETC ARE REFERED TO IN PLURAL FORM!
This should be the behavior of Muslims in trying to reason with Christians. A dignified, non confrontational approach, needing the Christians to check carefully what their Bible(s) say about Jesus. There is no pressure involved. But most Christians don't use reasoning approach. What I found out was, they are too quick to insult Prophet Muhammad, tell lies about the Quran and even mock Allah. Thank you Sheikh. I am wiser with your approach. May Allah strengthen my iman, knowledge and wisdom.
If we could have a Jew in on the conversation, we'd have the good old majlis from the middle ages. Oh, for the good old days when Christians, Muslims, and Jews regularly got together to discuss their theology, their Scripture, their customs.
