00:00he has to wear a kada a bracelet a metal bracelet he has to keep a kirpan a dagger i don't know
00:07whether you have one no the dubai police won't allow you here and the fifth is the kacha the
00:16underdogs the long underdog so these are the five case that the sick should maintain if you ask me
00:22similarities samarite even the prophet said that you know we have to keep an arm therefore when
00:28you go to oman most of the omani has a dagger like the sick oman you saw the omani so because they
00:34said sunnah fine a prophet said that you be prepared always have a weapon help you in self-defense so
00:40it's matching so it's not a fard it is sunnah in sickism it's a fard so that the difference is
00:46there as far as uncut hair our religion doesn't say that you should cut or should not cut so there are
00:50many teachings which are similar some are different some optional as far as i told yesterday that
00:58regarding the basic concept of god i feel it is almost similar the concept of god and schism and
01:06the concept of god in islam is almost similar and as i told you yesterday that the first verse of the
01:11guru gun side adi grant that is the japuji first volume first verse says that the god is true he is the
01:20creator the unbegotten free from fear and want great compassionate this is similar to the concept of
01:29god in islam of sura class and schism is a monotheistic religion which believes in one god it is against
01:38avatar vada it does not believe in idol worship and in the unmanifest form almighty god is called as
01:47ek omkara and manifest form as omkara and there are various attributes what i mentioned yesterday of the
01:54similarities many attributes given to almighty god in the guru grant sahib and sikhism is the same as in
02:00islam almighty god is called as akal that's eternal he's called as sahib that's lord he's called as
02:09kartar that is creator he's called as pervert gar that's the cherisher he's called as rahim the
02:15merciful he's called as kareem the beneficent he's also called as vaheguru the one true god
02:20now what we realize as far as sikhism is concerned as i mentioned it's an amalgamation as the scholars say
02:27of hinduism and islam there are many points which are similar what is not there because it's a
02:33religion that came after prophet muhammad peace be upon it's one of the new religions there are very
02:39few religions that came after it prophet muhammad peace be upon him so therefore it does not mention
02:44about the prophecy of prophet muhammad peace be upon him all the other religious scriptures that you find
02:49judaism christianity hinduism buddhism they mention about the coming of the last and final messenger prophet
02:56muhammad peace be upon him now sikhism because it's a new religion it came after the demise of
03:03prophet muhammad there's no mention that i came across about prophet muhammad as far as islam is
03:09concerned the basic two points to be noted after believing that there's only one god who deserves
03:15worship and obedience besides that you also have to believe in the last and final messenger prophet muhammad
03:20peace be upon him though guru nanak did respect muhammad he did praise him but i don't know of
03:27any scripture where he mentioned him as the messenger so this is one point which i feel is which is then
03:33the other scriptures of the other religions where it's clearly mentioned besides believing in one god
03:39besides believing tawhid about the coming of the last and final messenger prophet muhammad peace be upon
03:44which is not mentioned in the six scriptures and the practice of sikhism has deviated and have gone on
03:50the wrong track as i said that they worship the guru gun sahib the adi gun which was not told by guru nanak
03:56neither worshiping the fire has been told so what we realize that all these are interpolation that have
04:02come and many of the acts of hinduism have crept into sikhism and that's how you have a different
04:09religion but what we say quran is the furqan is the criteria to judge right from wrong whatever matches
04:16with the quran we say we have no objection accepting as the word of god which contradicts we say is wrong
04:23what does not match and does not contradict we say maybe it's right maybe it's wrong hope that answers
04:28the question
04:33shall we have the next question from the brother's side in the middle of the aisle
04:36yeah good evening dr zakat naik and to one and all my name is srinil patne and we have a family
04:43restaurant business well my question is as we all know god is the almighty the one and all
04:50if he's sorry he or she i wouldn't generalize him if god is so powerful why doesn't he come down himself
04:59or clear all the sins in this world make it the perfect place to be in why does it have to take
05:06so much of time like as we all know there is hell and there is heaven uh the people who do good
05:12deeds go to heaven and the people who do bad deeds go to hell he's testing us why does it take god
05:19six thousand years to test us well that's very good question that why isn't god so powerful that he can
05:27come down and clear all the misconceptions why is it taking six thousand years or more to test us it's
05:33a very good question and quran says that if almighty god wanted you could have made everyone as muslims
05:42quran says in many places that means you could have made everyone believe in almighty god
05:48but the quran says in surah mulk chapter number 67 verse number two it's almighty god has
05:55created death and life to test which of you is good in deeds it's like you telling me that we have
06:01gone to school after 10 years we appear for board examination sse board cbsc igcsc now why is the
06:08teacher taking test why doesn't teacher pass everyone
06:17if teacher passes everyone everyone will admission to medical college and everyone will become doctors
06:22and they start killing people rather than
06:24curing so in the medical examination you say why is our medical teacher failing us
06:31he's failing us to know whether you're worth treating a patient or not so similarly almighty god
06:37has created the human beings and have given the human beings a free will all the other creation of
06:43almighty god don't have free will except the human beings engine have free will the angels have no free
06:49will whatever god says they follow 100 but the human being is a superior creation than the angels
06:58after almighty god has given us a free will then if we obey the commandment of god we are superior
07:04than the angels if we don't obey his commandments we are inferior to the angels so now almighty god has
07:11given us a free will and before we came in this world almighty god asked us who would like to become a
07:19human being if you don't become a human being you have just passed you may either become mountain they
07:25are muslim tree they are muslim animals they are muslims angels they are muslim muslim means submitting the
07:30will to god all the animals are muslims all the stars are muslims all the plants are muslims all the
07:37angels are muslims now human being is a unique creation it is the best creation of almighty god
07:44so god asked who would like to become a human being the quran says we human beings were fools who said
07:50we want to become human being that means just pass or if you become a human being you may get distinction
07:57all of us thought will get distinction how many get will come to an afterwards so we have been given the
08:02free will and now we are undergoing the test so if almighty god passes everyone then i will say almighty
08:11god is unjust if almighty god puts everyone in heaven then i will i was such a good man i did not
08:19rob i was honest that man robber rapist even he's with me in heaven i will object to almighty god why did
08:24you put this person in heaven so almighty god the quran says in surah nisa chapter 4 verse number 40
08:31he's never unjust in the least degree so therefore almighty god is merciful he gives us a chance he
08:38forgives us but finally also just so based on this we are undergoing this test this life is a test for
08:44the hereafter so we are a unique creation of almighty god and the purpose of this creation as the quran says
08:50in surah dharia chapter 51 verse 56 that almighty god has created the jinn and the human beings
08:59not but to worship him by worshiping him that means obeying his commandments if we obey his commandment
09:05we pass in this test otherwise the quran says if he wanted he could have made all the human being
09:10muslims very easy for him but we are a better creation a unique creation if we obey him after free
09:17evil if given we are superior hope that answers the question better thank you shall we have the
09:23next question from the sister's side good evening dr zakhar my name is jal and i work here for emirates
09:30bank international my question to you is which other religion says that they are awaiting the coming of
09:39prophet muhammad peace be upon him other than muslim and christianity
09:45sisters ask the question that which other religion besides islam and christianity says
09:51that prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasalam will come sister besides the religion of christianity
09:57and islam most if not all most of the religion that came before islam prophesied about coming of the
10:06last and final messenger muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasalam i've given a talk on muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasalam in
10:11the various world religious scriptures besides christianity you also find in judaism about
10:16muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasalam it's mentioned in the book of deuteronomy chapter number 18 verse
10:20number 18 about the prophet of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. It's mentioned in the book of
10:22Deuteronomy, chapter number 18, verse number 19. In the book of Isaiah, chapter number 29, verse
10:26number 12. In the Song of Solomon, chapter number 5, verse number 16. That's the Old Testament. In
10:32the New Testament, Christianity is mentioned in the Gospel of John, chapter number 14, verse number
10:3616. Gospel of John, chapter 15, verse 26. Gospel of John, chapter 16, verse number 7. Gospel of
10:41John, chapter number 16, verse number 12 to 14. There are many verses in the Old Testament and
10:45the New Testament prophesying about the coming of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Since
10:49your name is Jal, and I assume you're a Hindu sister, correct? Yes. I've even given a talk
10:55on Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in Hindu scriptures. I can give a talk for a few hours
10:58only on Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in Hindu scriptures. Time will not permit me to
11:02go and read it. I'll just give the references. If you read the Hindu scriptures, the Hindu scriptures
11:07are of two types. One is smriti, the other is shruti. Shruti means the word of God in which
11:13you have Vedas and the Upanishad. Smriti is the word of human being in which you have
11:18Manu Smriti, you have Ramayana, Mahabharata, epics, etc. You also have the Puranas. If it's
11:23Bhavishya Puranas, it's mentioned Bhavishya Puranas, Parvatri, Khanda 3, Adhyay 3, Shlokas
11:295 to 8, which speaks about Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. It's mentioned Bhavishya Puranas,
11:33Parvatri, Khanda 3, Adhyay 3, Shlokas 10 to 27, talking about Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
11:38as a Malaysia. He is mentioned in Atharvaved, book number 20, hymn number 21, verse number
11:466. Atharvaved, book number 20, hymn number 21, verse number 7. He is also mentioned in Atharvaved,
11:53book number 20, hymn number 127, verse 1 to 14, which is called as Kuntap Suktas. Kuntap means
11:59hidden. It speaks about the coming of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that he will be the
12:03praiseworthy, he will have 60,000 enemies, etc. He is also mentioned in Rigved, book number
12:101, chapter number 53, verse number 9. He is mentioned as Ahmed, which means one who praises
12:18in Uttarchik, mantra number 1,500. It's mentioned in Indra, chapter number 2, verse number 152.
12:26Jayajuraved, chapter number 31, verse number 18. He is also mentioned in Atharvaved, book number
12:3220, hymn number 126, verse number 1 to 14. He is called as Narashansa. Nar means man, person.
12:41Shansa means coming from prashansa, praiseworthy, a man who's praiseworthy. If you translate Narashansa,
12:48man who's praiseworthy into Arabic, it means Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He is prophesied
12:52as Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. In Rigved, book number 1, hymn number 13, verse number
12:573. In Rigved, book number 10, hymn number 64, verse number 3. He is mentioned in Rigved,
13:02book number 2, hymn number 3, verse number 5. Rigved, book number 5, hymn number 5, verse
13:07number 2. He is also mentioned in Yajuraved, chapter number 20, verse 37. Yajuraved, chapter
13:11number 21, verse number 31. I can go on and on and on mentioning only the references of
13:16Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned in the scriptures. Due to limitation of time,
13:20I will just touch on one prophecy a little bit in more detail. He has been prophesied
13:24as the Qalki Autar. You know, when you read the Qalki Purana, book number 2, verse number
13:295, 7, 9, 11, 14. He is prophesied as the Qalki Autar. And it's mentioned there that his
13:37father's name will be Vishnu Yas. Vishnu means God, Yas means servant, servant of God. If you
13:43translate to Arabic, it's Abdullah, the father of the name of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
13:46was Abdullah. His mother's name will be Sumati. Sumati means serenity, peaceful. If you translate
13:57Arabic, it means Amina. The name of the mother of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
14:00was Amina. It says he will be born in a city by the name Sambala. Sambala means a place of
14:09peace and serenity. That is Makkah. He will be born in the house of the chief of the village
14:14of Sambala. He was born in the house of Quresh. It says he will be born on the 12th.
14:22If you clap at every point, it will go on for hundreds of class. Mashallah.
14:27He will be born on the 12th month of Madhav. That's the 12th rabbiya world. It says that he will be
14:33a teacher for the whole of humanity. And we know Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was sent to the
14:37merciful whole of humanity. It says he will get the first revelation in a cave known as Gar-e-heera.
14:42It says he will migrate northwards and come back. Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam went from
14:46Makkah to Madinah northwards and came back. It says that he'll be given eight supernal qualities.
14:51It says that he'll have four companions talking about the first four Khulfa Rashidin. It says that he'll be
14:55helped with the angels in the battlefield. You know Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam held in the battle of
14:59Badr with angels. I can go on and on talking only about the prophecy of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
15:05So if you are a Hindu and if you believe in the Hindu scriptures, you also have to believe the last
15:10and final avatar, the last and final messenger in Hinduism is Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
15:17However, doctor, according to Hinduism, the Kalki avatar is still being awaited. So are you,
15:30is it that we are just not aware about it? You said the Kalki avatar is yet awaited. If you have not
15:38recognized the Kalki avatar, you are to blame, not me. I have given you so many similarities. Now you have
15:43to disprove it. You say my scripture says Vishnu Yas, father's name. Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
15:49father's name was not Vishnu Yas. You have to disprove me. Now this has been done by pandits of Hinduism.
15:54Hindu scholars have also written this. Now the Hindu scholars are preventing the truth from you.
16:01They are hiding the truth from you. You as a logical girl, as intelligent girl who's working in a high
16:08post, it's your duty to realize that if your priest are hiding the truth from you, we can have a debate
16:15with your priest. You can call the doctors of divinity. You know, I have had dialogues with pandits, you
16:20know, one of the very famous, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. He never disagreed. He agreed. He agreed with what
16:27I said about oneness of almighty God has got no images. He believed in Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
16:32wa sallam. He did not accept that's a different thing because he will lose his following.
16:37Therefore sister, do you have a following? So you have no fear to lose the following. So when I've given you
16:41so many references with giving quotations, I'm not pulling a fast one. You can very well go and
16:48check and verify. But after you verify, do you accept in the last and final messenger?
16:53Do you? Yes. So do you believe in Prophet Muhammad? Peace be upon him. MashaAllah.
17:05Do you believe that there's one God? Yes, I do. Do you believe almighty God has got no images? Yes,
17:11I do. So you believe there's God and he has no images? Yes. And do you believe Prophet Muhammad
17:16is the messenger of God? Yes, I do. Then you're a Muslim, sister.
17:24What you said is the Shahada in English. Do you want to repeat in Arabic if you want, sister?
17:30What you said is in English that there's no God but Allah and Prophet Muhammad is the messenger.
17:35Would you like to repeat in Arabic, sister? I do. Okay. I'll just repeat it and you have to continue,
17:40sister.
17:53What else?
17:54I bet.
18:05Mashallah, sister.
18:11Me Allah.
18:23Masha Allah sister may Allah reward you. You have joined a family of religion of peace of more than 1.3 to 1.5 billion. May Allah reward you and may Allah grant you Jannah inshallah. And believe me sister require guts. I feel that Masha Allah I really admire your guts more than Shri Sri Ravi Shankar Masha Allah.
18:45And I pray that may give you hidayah and may guide you inshallah. And sister if you have any questions any queries there are local organizations in Dubai who can surely clarify your misconceptions. To understand Islam look at the Quran and the hadith. They are the best guides. If you have any queries you can even write to the email at islam at irf.net. It's my pleasure to reply.
19:14And do pray for Mew also sister.
19:23The next question from the brother's side.
19:25Good morning to you doctor. I am Mr. Alan Sinko. My question is I want to embrace and accept Islam. So what can I do to become Islam?
19:35I am Mr. Alan Sinko. My question is I want to embrace and accept Islam.
19:43Masha Allah.
19:43Masha Allah.
19:46Our Filipino.
19:52Our Filipino brother Masha Allah.
19:55May Allah accept his effort.
19:57He wants to accept Islam.
19:58In Islam if you accept Islam you only have to believe that there is no God but Allah and Prophet Muhammad is a messenger. Do you believe that there is one God?
20:08Yes brother.
20:09Do you believe that no one deserves worship besides Almighty God Allah?
20:12Yes I do.
20:13Do you believe that Prophet Muhammad is a messenger of Allah?
20:16Yes I believe.
20:16So I will just say in Arabic repeat it then we will save the translation inshallah.
20:19I bear witness.
20:46Brother I will just repeat.
21:15Brother.
21:16I will just repeat what he said the meaning in Arabic.
21:19I bear witness.
21:21I bear witness.
21:22That.
21:22That.
21:23There is no God.
21:24There is no God.
21:25But Allah.
21:26But Allah.
21:27And I bear witness.
21:28And I bear witness.
21:29That Prophet Muhammad.
21:30That Prophet Muhammad.
21:32Is.
21:32Is.
21:33The messenger.
21:34The messenger.
21:35And servant of God.
21:36And the son of God.
21:37Masha Allah.
21:37This is the translation of what he said.
21:39And.
21:40I would like to pray to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
21:43That Masha Allah may accept your efforts.
21:44And it's good Masha Allah to see that in the city of Dubai.
21:48Alhamdulillah.
21:49That people may have come here for earning a living.
21:52Believe me.
21:53What you earned here.
21:54Is less than what you'll earn in the Akhira.
21:56What you'll earn in the Akhira inshallah will be much more.
21:58And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grantu jannah inshallah.
22:01Thank you brother.
22:02Thank you so much.
22:04Shall we proceed to the next question from the brothers.
22:07Yes.
22:08Yeah.
22:09My name is Rahul.
22:11I am a telecoms engineer working in Dubai since 2002.
22:14I want to ask a few questions.
22:17Coming from my background.
22:18I think religion is something that following that you're saved from making, having problems in your life.
22:25Yeah.
22:27My first question is.
22:29I recently read a report by a doctor.
22:32Saying that because of marriages in first cousins in Islam.
22:37It leads to a higher probability of the fetuses being born as handicaps.
22:42Yeah.
22:42It increases the probability of the babies born without hands or without legs.
22:48So if it was something that could potentially cause harm.
22:52It should not have been allowed in Islam.
22:54Another point I would like to add to the same question is.
22:56Recently I suffered a little bit of a BP.
22:59And I went to the doctor.
23:01And the first thing he said to me is that stop eating red meat.
23:05Which is again allowed in Islam.
23:07So I would think that if these things could be harmful to the human body.
23:12These should not have been allowed by who has created us.
23:17So if you can clarify me on that.
23:18The brothers have two questions.
23:20The first question that is talking about consanguineous marriages.
23:24Consanguineous marriages means marriage between close relatives.
23:28In English it's called as consanguineous marriages.
23:31And in consanguineous marriages, medical science tells us today.
23:34There are high chances of genetic problems.
23:37And I do agree with the brothers.
23:38So why does Islam permit that?
23:40It's clearly mentioned in the Quran in Surah Nisa chapter number 4, verse number 22 to 24.
23:45The woman who you can marry.
23:47And the woman who you cannot marry is mentioned there.
23:49Amongst them it's clearly mentioned you cannot marry your sister.
23:53And a lady cannot marry the brother.
23:55It's mentioned.
23:56Neither the father, neither the mother.
23:57You cannot marry the brother of your father.
24:01The ladies.
24:01And you cannot marry the sister of your father.
24:04That means the important close relatives are mentioned in the Quran.
24:08Brother, sister cannot marry.
24:10Son and mother.
24:11Father and daughter.
24:13Paternal, uncle.
24:14Maternal, uncle can't marry.
24:15But as far as first cousins are concerned, Islam does give permission.
24:20Now as far as consanguineous marriages are concerned, the maximum problem comes when you marry your direct blood brother and sister.
24:28Consanguineous marriage.
24:29Even if you marry your direct father, daughter, mother and son, or your uncle.
24:36The chances are also there if you marry your first cousin.
24:39But it's negligible.
24:40Very negligible.
24:42So Islam.
24:43That's not what the report said.
24:44The report said that because of marriages in first cousins, not your brothers and sisters, it leads to this problem.
24:49And it was from a doctor.
24:51Let me complete.
24:51It was published in Gulf News as well actually.
24:52Brother, let me complete.
24:53Even I am a doctor.
24:54Ah, okay.
24:55Fine.
24:55Even I am a medical doctor.
24:57Yeah.
24:57It means medical doctor with that doctor.
24:59Yeah.
24:59The chances in direct relatives are very high.
25:04Yeah.
25:04If a sister and brother marry, the chances are very high.
25:08Yeah.
25:09If a father and daughter are very high.
25:11You have read only one report.
25:12You haven't read the other report.
25:14Yeah.
25:14So you only read Gulf News.
25:16I read medical books.
25:17So Gulf News is better or medical books is better?
25:20Which is better?
25:20Your point is, your point is, marriaging in first cousins, the chances of wedding problem is negligible.
25:26As compared to brother and sister.
25:29As compared to.
25:30As compared to.
25:31As compared to.
25:31But still, but still there is a.
25:33Brother, will you let me complete my answer or?
25:34Sorry.
25:35Yeah, please.
25:36So you have more faith in Gulf News?
25:37No, no, not really.
25:38I am here to find the truth.
25:40That's right.
25:41So what he realized, that consanguineous marriage, and I agree with you.
25:45I didn't say it's not there.
25:46Yeah.
25:47I'm not trying to beat around the bush.
25:49But compared, it is negligible.
25:51Compared to direct blood brother and sister.
25:53Now, I do agree that there are medical genetic problems in various ways.
25:57But this report is there when you have continuously generation after generation.
26:03Dr. Dr. Ahmed Sakari says, the prophet said, do not marry first cousins generation after generation.
26:10If you do it once or twice, it is no problem.
26:13Yet, even if you marry not cousins also, you can get a problem.
26:16Do you know that?
26:17Yeah.
26:17Yeah.
26:18So that doesn't mean that you stop marriage only.
26:20Right.
26:20So there is a hadith which says, do not do it generation after generation.
26:23Yes.
26:23But otherwise, generally, there is no problem.
26:25Right.
26:25Fine?
26:26So coming to your second question.
26:28Yeah.
26:28You went to a doctor.
26:29And you said you had high BP.
26:31Yes.
26:31Doctor said you have red meat.
26:33Yes.
26:33So why does Islam allow red meat?
26:36Yes.
26:36You know, my friend went to a doctor.
26:38And doctor said you have diabetes.
26:40Don't have sugar.
26:41Brother, why do you have sugar?
26:43Right.
26:44Why?
26:45Don't have sugar.
26:46My friend went to a doctor.
26:48Doctor said you have diabetes.
26:49Don't have sugar.
26:50Brother, do you have sugar?
26:51Yes, of course.
26:52Why you have sugar?
26:53Stop having sugar.
26:54Yeah, well, we can live on vegetables.
26:56Easily possible.
26:57Can you live without having sugar?
26:59Can you live without having sugar?
27:01Even vegetarians have sugar, brother.
27:03Yeah.
27:03Are you educated?
27:05Yeah.
27:06MashaAllah.
27:07The problem is that person had a problem with his pancreas.
27:11In the pancreas, there are islets of linger hand which break down the sugar.
27:16Because my friend had a problem in the pancreas, he could not break down the sugar.
27:20Therefore, the doctor said don't have sugar.
27:22Right.
27:23If you have some problem of red meat, you should not have red meat.
27:27Others can have red meat.
27:28Right.
27:28The Quran says, a general statement, Quran says, eat what is halal and tayyab for you.
27:37There's a verse in the Quran, eat what is halal and tayyab for you.
27:41For a person suffering from diabetes, sugar is not tayyab.
27:44So according to the Quran, a person having diabetes should have less sugar.
27:49It's a general statement.
27:50Eat what is halal and tayyab for you.
27:53That means certain things which is good for others may not be good for you.
27:56But there are certain things which are bad for everyone.
27:59Alcohol.
27:59Alcohol is bad for everyone.
28:01It is prohibited for everyone.
28:03Pork is bad for everyone.
28:04Therefore, pork has been prohibited for everyone.
28:07What do you realize?
28:08Certain food because of the way your metabolism is made, because it's a problem for you, doesn't
28:13mean that everyone should abstain from it.
28:15Hope that answers the question.
28:16Sure.
28:17Okay.
28:17My next question is, Islam allows marriages, I mean a husband to marry more than one wife,
28:23four wives.
28:24Is it compulsory to take the permission from the wife before marrying the second one?
28:31Because a lot of Muslim girls have told me that, you know, they have to take permission
28:34from the first wife, so our interests are taken care of.
28:36I hope you don't intend to become Muslim and marry more than one wife, huh?
28:40No, I don't.
28:41Because there's a new law in the Indian government.
28:44If a Hindu converts to Muslim and marries more than one wife, then there's a problem.
28:48Yeah.
28:48There's a new law.
28:49I don't intend to, but I just need to find out.
28:50Don't intend to marry or don't intend to convert?
28:52I, well, I won't answer that now.
28:57Dharmada asked the question that, is it compulsory that the husband should take the permission
29:02of his first wife before he marries the second wife?
29:05As a general rule, because it is mentioned in the Quran that a man can have more than one
29:10wife, it is not required for a man to take the permission of the first wife, but it is
29:15preferably takes permission or at least informs her.
29:18As far as permission, certain conditions become compulsory.
29:21During a nikah, during a marital contract, a man or a woman, before they get married,
29:26they can put any conditions which are permitted.
29:28If the woman puts the condition in the nikah nama, that my husband will not take a second
29:33wife as long as I live, because marrying more than one wife is optional.
29:38So if she puts the condition, then it becomes compulsory for the husband to take the permission
29:43of the wife, otherwise he cannot marry.
29:44If this is not mentioned in the nikah nama, if it is not mentioned in the marital contract,
29:49it is not a must, it is preferable.
29:50Hope that answers the question.
29:52Thanks.
29:52My last question.
29:53My last question is...
29:55Brother, you are most welcome.
29:57Just stand behind the queue.
29:58There may be one or two non-Muslims.
30:00You can wait, brother.
30:01There may be one or two non-Muslims.
30:02Just stand behind the non-Muslims.
30:03And we'll try and give all the non-Muslims a chance.
30:06Yes, sister.
30:08Yes, sir.
30:09I just want to take Shahada.
30:16MashaAllah.
30:17The sister...
30:18The sister who had asked the question earlier...
30:23And I believe you're a Hindu sister.
30:25Yeah, I'm Hindu.
30:26Yes.
30:26The sister who had the earlier question...
30:28MashaAllah Allah gave her a hidayat and she wants to accept Islam.
30:31I want to ask you, sister, do you believe there is one God?
30:34Yeah, I believe in him.
30:35Do you believe that Almighty God has got no images?
30:37Yes, sir, I believe.
30:38Yes.
30:38And you believe that there is no one to worship besides Allah?
30:42Means?
30:43Do you believe that there is no God but Allah?
30:45Yeah, I believe Allah is the...
30:46Do you believe Prophet Muhammad is the last and final messenger of this God?
30:50Yes, I believe.
30:51Inshallah, I'll say in Arabic and repeat it, sister.
30:55Ashadu.
30:57I'll say in Arabic and repeat it, sister, slowly.
31:00Okay.
31:00Ashadu.
31:01Ashadu.
31:02Allah.
31:03Allah.
31:04Ilaha.
31:05Ilaha.
31:06Illallah.
31:06Illallah.
31:07Wa ashadu.
31:08Wa ashadu.
31:09Anna.
31:09Anna.
31:10Muhammadan.
31:11Muhammadan.
31:12Abduhu.
31:12Abdu.
31:13Wa rasuluhu.
31:14Wa rasuluhu.
31:16Wa rasuluhu.
31:17Luhu.
31:18MashaAllah, sister.
31:26Sister, I'll just say the translation.
31:28I'll just mention the translation, sister.
31:30You just repeated the translation, which will be much more easier.
31:33I bear witness, I bear witness, I bear witness, I bear witness, that, that, there is no God, that, there is no God, but Allah, but Allah, but Allah, and Prophet Muhammad, and Prophet Muhammad, is, is, the messenger, the messenger, and servant of Almighty God.
31:53Servant of Almighty God.
31:56Servant of Almighty God.
31:58MashaAllah, sister.
31:59You are a Muslim.
32:01May Allah smaak to reward you.
32:03And may Allah grant you jannah.
32:05And sister, as I mentioned earlier, if you have any questions, any queries, please don't feel shy, you can contact the local organizations here.
32:14If you have any questions, you can even send an email to our organization, islamatirf.net.
32:19We have a ladies' wing which takes care of any questions, any queries, any problems you have.
32:23And sister, see to it that, as you keep on learning whatever about Islam, slowly and steadily, main thing is Iman believing.
32:31The practice keeps on coming slowly and steadily.
32:34Whatever you learn, you can ask questions, you can keep on following, and slowly and slowly, inshallah, inshallah, you can keep on following all the trends of Islam.
32:43Thank you very much, sister.
32:45Sir, is there any organization which can teach me how to pray, how to do all the things?
32:50I am sure there is an organization, Dharal Bir.
32:54The organization I know in Dubai, Dharal Bir.
32:56I am sure there are lady organizations.
32:58And I think there is sister Yasmeen, who is the wife of my friend, Brother Najmuddin.
33:04Surely sister Yasmeen will be somewhere in the ladies' wing.
33:07They have a ladies' organization.
33:08You can contact the volunteer.
33:10And inshallah, they will help you out in teaching you how to pray, how to offer salah, and the other aspects of Islam.
33:16Thank you, sister.
33:16Yes.
33:20Can we have the next question from the brother?
33:24Morning, Mr. Zakir Naik.
33:25My name is James Damani.
33:27First of all, I want to thank you for what you're doing here.
33:29I've really taken a lot away from here, I'm sure.
33:33My question is on your point number three.
33:37Actually, I have three questions, if you could be so kind.
33:39But on point number three, first of all, I felt that it was very evasive, your answer.
33:45But what I'm going to ask you is very simple.
33:48When you talk about terrorism, when you talk about Islam, now this is a very simple, straightforward question.
33:55I hope I can get a straightforward answer.
33:57With what's happening in Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, just to name a few.
34:03I'm not stereotyping.
34:04I hope no one takes offense.
34:06But when you hear on the news that a woman is cooking food for her kids and then a suicide bomber comes and kills them.
34:12I want to ask you a simple question.
34:15What is that?
34:16Is that Islam or is that people who don't understand what Islam is and they have their own perception of Islam?
34:25And please, let me ask you one more thing.
34:28Can you give me an answer that is not in World War I or something, there were more people that died or this is all propaganda and these are Americans killing people?
34:37Brother, hear my answer and then you pass your comment, inshallah.
34:40Yeah, I want to just set up your answer.
34:42Hear my answer, then you can pass your comment.
34:44The brother has the question that years in Afghanistan and Pakistan, a woman cooking food, a suicide bomber comes and blows up and kills.
34:53As far as Islam, what the media is saying, forget about it.
34:56I'll give you ruling of Islam.
34:58Whether what the media says is right or wrong.
34:59Quran says in Surah Maida, chapter number 5, verse number 32.
35:02So according to the Quran, killing any single innocent human being is prohibited.
35:31If a suicide bomber comes and kills a woman who's cooking innocent, it is 100% prohibited.
35:38Whether done in Pakistan or Afghanistan or America or Dubai.
35:42Isn't the answer clear?
35:43Okay, the answer is clear.
35:44Whoever is doing it, whoever is doing it, whoever is doing it, whether namesake Muslim or American or propaganda, whoever is doing it, it is totally prohibited.
35:56Okay.
35:57Fine, so is it clear answer?
35:58That is clear.
35:59100% clear?
35:59100%.
36:00Whether you do, anyone does.
36:01So that is wrong, yeah?
36:02100% wrong.
36:04It is as though he has killed the whole of humanity.
36:06There is no other scripture that I know of today.
36:09Okay.
36:09There is no other scripture that I know of today that gives the statement that if you kill one human being, it is as though you killed the whole human being, except the Quran.
36:17There is no other scripture that I know which says that if you say one human being, you have saved the whole of humanity.
36:23No other scripture.
36:23Perfect.
36:24Now can I ask you something?
36:25Yes, you are most sure.
36:26You told me this is wrong, yeah?
36:27100% wrong.
36:28Fine, fine, fine.
36:29Now, why are you here?
36:32The way I look at it, all of these are innocent, loving people here.
36:35Why isn't this convention somewhere like Afghanistan and Pakistan trying to teach people that what they are doing is not Islam and is just some brainwashed chaos?
36:45And that they are going to go to hell and they are not going to go to heaven for killing innocent people, for the 9-1-1 attacks, for the London bombings.
36:54Innocent people died.
36:56If I don't like you and I kill you, it is more justified than if I don't like somebody, if I don't like Jews and I go and kill innocent Americans with families.
37:04Why don't you go and educate these people and have a better cause rather than converting four or five people here?
37:11And save thousands of lives.
37:13Brother has asked a very good question.
37:14He is telling me, why don't I go to Pakistan, to Afghanistan and spread this message and prevent this?
37:22Brother, I go every day, even now I am going there.
37:25I am on the satellite.
37:26We have Peace TV reaching 100 million people.
37:29This is how much?
37:31That's what I wanted to hear.
37:32This is 20,000, 30,000 people.
37:34The audience here will be 20,000, 30,000 people, not more than that.
37:38You see the recording.
37:39Why do we do the recording?
37:40So that I can go to Pakistan.
37:41I can go to Afghanistan.
37:42I can go to even America and my lectures on jihad and terrorism, the maximum viewership, it has got more than 100 million people.
37:50And it is meant for the full world.
37:53I am giving here, it is being recorded, it is being telecast.
37:56The thing is, I cannot force anyone to point out of the sort to accept my message.
38:00Can I force you?
38:01Am I forcing you?
38:03Am I forcing you to accept my message?
38:05No, no, no.
38:05You are not forcing you.
38:05How can I force the people of Pakistan?
38:08How can I force the people of Afghanistan?
38:10At the same time, at the same time, at the same time, I also tell the innocent people being killed, I agree with you.
38:18What is the numbers?
38:19You said, you know, four, five people converting here is better than telling that.
38:24My job is to deliver the message.
38:28It's mentioned in the Quran, Surah Ghasha, Chapter 88, Verse 21, 22.
38:31Our job is to deliver the message.
38:33We can't convert hearts.
38:35Allah told the Prophet, you are not the manager of affairs.
38:38It is Allah who gives the hidayah.
38:39I can talk.
38:42I cannot convert.
38:44It is Almighty God who converts.
38:46I can talk.
38:47Whether they understand or not in Pakistan, it is Almighty God.
38:51Coming to your basic question.
38:52According to me, you should see my cassette.
38:55Is terrorism a Muslim monopoly?
38:56Is terrorism a Muslim monopoly?
38:59If you see that cassette, your mind, your vision of terrorism will improve.
39:03Time does not permit me to give a talk here again.
39:05I'll tell you for sure.
39:06According to me, the terrorists are mainly the politicians.
39:12It is they who create this.
39:14You go anywhere.
39:16You know in India, all the riots that took place, indirectly or directly, it is the politicians.
39:21Babri Masjid.
39:22Why did Babri Masjid's riot take place?
39:24Why?
39:25Because of the politicians.
39:26Gujarat's riot.
39:27Politicians.
39:28What happened about 9-11?
39:30See my cassette.
39:30It was an inside job.
39:32According to scientists of America,
39:34They say 9-11 cannot be done by 19 Arabs.
39:37It's impossible.
39:38It was an inside job.
39:4072 scientists of America, not Zakir Naik.
39:43Inside job.
39:43Who did it?
39:44George Bush.
39:46Okay.
39:46Afghanistan.
39:47Wait.
39:47Let me complete my answer.
39:50Afghanistan.
39:51Thousands of people being killed.
39:53They are sending cluster bombs.
39:55Cowards there.
39:57Thousands of people.
39:58You are talking about suicide bombs?
39:59That is haram.
40:00I am not condoning it.
40:01I am condemning it.
40:02But the bigger thing to be condemned is the Americans sending their fighters in Afghanistan,
40:07killing thousands of people.
40:08In Iraq, killing thousands of people.
40:11Saddam Hussein.
40:13I am not a fan of Saddam Hussein.
40:15He has done mistakes.
40:17The people of Iraq, they were fed up of Saddam Hussein.
40:19But after America came there, they are more fed up of the Americans than Saddam Hussein.
40:23That does not justify, just because Saddam Hussein was bad, that does not justify America to come and take over Iraq.
40:33Why are they doing it?
40:34For the money, for the oil.
40:36What is the main interest?
40:37It's the oil.
40:40Who created Taliban?
40:42When Russia came, the Americans supported the Afghanists, created Taliban.
40:47Now they want to take over their fighting back.
40:49Who is the creation?
40:50Americans.
40:51The biggest threats are going to me in this history, George Bush.
40:55Now he is no longer there.
40:56George Bush number one.
40:57I am with you on that.
40:58Sorry?
40:59I am with you on that.
41:00You are with me on that.
41:01So I am also going to America.
41:03I am even going to America live and on satellite, giving the message to Americans.
41:08I was the first person that I know of in the public after 9-11.
41:11In Australia, I said, I am a fundamentalist and I consider George Bush to be the biggest terrorist.
41:16It came at headlines.
41:21In December, in December 2001, when I gave a talk in Australia, when the Consul General asked me that, what do you consider?
41:29Who is a terrorist?
41:30I said, George Bush number one.
41:31It came as headline.
41:32Dr. Zakir and I call themselves a fundamentalist and consider George Bush to be terrorist number one.
41:37Now, every Tom, Dick and Harry is calling him a terrorist.
41:40At that time, no one had the guts.
41:43What we realize, we are speaking the truth.
41:45Now, whether George Bush, you know, many people say, when I gave a talk in London on terrorism, very good talk, people enjoyed.
41:53A youngster comes there and says, death to George Bush, death to George Bush.
41:57Full talk of man gone.
41:58May Allah be pleased with him, who was the second kind of Islam.
42:14Allah gave Hidayah, who was the staunchest enemy of Islam, became the staunchest supporter.
42:18Therefore, I said, may Allah give Hidayah to George Bush.
42:23I cannot.
42:25I can speak.
42:27I cannot give Hidayah.
42:28I can tell him what he's doing is wrong.
42:30I don't want to kill him.
42:32I want him to accept Islam.
42:34Killing is useless.
42:35What's the use of killing?
42:37Accepting is better.
42:38So, that's the reason we are giving the message.
42:41Those whose hearts are opening, they're accepting.
42:44Inshallah, God will open your heart also one day.
42:46When God opens your heart one day, I cannot do it.
42:51I can give the message.
42:52I can't force you.
42:53Unless God gives you, unless you strive.
42:56If you strive, God will help you.
42:58If you don't strive, your heart will not be opened.
43:00Some people ask questions only for questioning.
43:02What are the questions?
43:04But the true gentleman, when he gets the answer, he accepts it.
43:10You know, people just ask for questioning.
43:12Why question?
43:13You spoke very loudly.
43:15I'm asking you, I gave a speech.
43:17I said so many things.
43:18Do you agree with it or not?
43:20Yes, I agree with it.
43:21Are you a Hindu?
43:23I'm actually your favorite.
43:25I'm an atheist.
43:26Atheist.
43:26That's what I heard you enjoy.
43:28You're a atheist.
43:29You're my favorite.
43:31No, I'm not your friend.
43:32But I was told that you like having debates with such.
43:34Yes, yes.
43:35Atheist.
43:36Okay, brother.
43:37You're an atheist.
43:39Fine.
43:39I would like to congratulate you.
43:42You'd like to what?
43:43I'd like to congratulate you.
43:45You know why?
43:46Why?
43:47There isn't a congrats to you because all the others, all the human beings, they're blindly
43:52following.
43:53Father is a Christian.
43:54The son is a Christian.
43:54His parents are Hindu.
43:58He's a Hindu.
43:59Many of the Muslim parents are Muslims.
44:01You are thinking.
44:02I don't know if their father was atheist.
44:04Father was atheist?
44:05No.
44:06Ah, good.
44:06So you're thinking.
44:07These are the people, they worship this Almighty God who falls down and breaks.
44:11So you are thinking.
44:12And the reason I congratulate you is because you have said the first part of the Islamic
44:17Shahada, La Ilaha, there is no God.
44:20You have already said half the Kalma.
44:24But not the second part.
44:26They have said the full Kalma.
44:28You are half Muslim now.
44:29Atheist means half Kalma, you know.
44:31La Ilaha.
44:32Only thing you have to do is illallah but Allah which I shall do, inshallah.
44:40I'm congratulating you because you have agreed to the other people who believe in wrong
44:45gods.
44:45First, I have to spend half my time in time to convince them the God you are worshipping
44:50is wrong.
44:51You have already agreed there is no God.
44:52Only thing I have to do is prove to you about Allah which I shall do, inshallah.
44:57Brother, suppose there is equipment which is bought.
45:01Equipment is bought in front of you.
45:03No one in the world has ever seen.
45:05No human being has seen is bought in front of you.
45:07And if I ask you the question, who is the first person who will be able to tell you the
45:12mechanism of that equipment?
45:14I've heard this speech and it's the creator.
45:17It's the creator.
45:18So the creator of that equipment will be the first person who will be able to tell you the
45:23mechanism of that object.
45:24You may say creator, you may say manufacturer, you may say inventor, you may say maker, whatever
45:28it is somewhat similar.
45:30Now I'm asking you a question.
45:31How did this universe come into existence?
45:34How did this universe come into existence?
45:37You are going to now mention the Big Bang and all that.
45:39No, I'm asking you.
45:40Yeah.
45:41Don't tell me what I'm going to mention.
45:42I want to know what is the...
45:43If you want...
45:44No, you are...
45:45I'm asking you according to your knowledge.
45:47No, the thing is I've actually heard this speech before.
45:49I'm actually a good fan of yours.
45:51You know that.
45:51MashaAllah, you're a good fan.
45:53Good fan, theoretical or practical?
45:55If you're a practical fan, you will follow.
45:57If I'm wrong, you correct me.
45:59If I'm right, you join me.
46:00No, I only learned about you about two weeks back actually.
46:03Fine.
46:04So in two weeks, you became a great fan.
46:05MashaAllah, I'm very happy about it.
46:07In two weeks, you learn about me.
46:08That means you know.
46:10You know about the creation, the Big Bang, which we came to know recently.
46:15Quran mentioned 14 years ago in Surah Ambiyah chapter 21, verse number 30.
46:20Well, I don't know the verses, but...
46:22Fine, but you know that.
46:23Yeah.
46:23Similarly, we did not know that the earth was spherical.
46:25We came to know recently.
46:26Quran mentioned 14 years ago in Surah Nadiah chapter 7, verse number 30.
46:30It is spherical.
46:31We thought first the light of the moon is its own light.
46:33Quran mentioned 14 years ago, the light of the moon is not its own light.
46:37Reflected light, which became more recently.
46:38Who could have mentioned this?
46:40There's biology.
46:41There is water cycle, which you learned in school.
46:43There is embryology.
46:44There is genetics.
46:45My question is, who could have mentioned all these things in the Quran?
46:49So if you have heard this, you also know the answer.
46:51Who could have mentioned in the Quran?
46:53Same answer.
46:56The creator.
46:56The creator.
46:58This creator, who has mentioned in the Quran, we call it Allah.
47:01So that means you believe in the creator.
47:06Who could have mentioned this in the Quran?
47:08The creator.
47:08The creator who created the human beings, the person who created all this universe.
47:13It can't be a human being who writes all this.
47:16So now do you believe in a creator?
47:17Well, there are different perspectives, you see.
47:22A person has.
47:23The perspective we'll discuss later on.
47:24You can think about science or you can think about God.
47:27Now the debate is which to follow.
47:29We can follow both.
47:30I believe in both.
47:30As I said.
47:31I'm a student of science also.
47:33Also or I'm a believer in God.
47:35Both.
47:35As my opening question stated, what I asked about terrorism, I believe you also know.
47:40Those are certain facts that we debate.
47:42Brother, we'll come to terrorism later on.
47:43Yeah, yeah, yeah.
47:44We're talking about that.
47:45Why I don't believe.
47:46Brother, wait.
47:47Brother, wait.
47:48You ask me direct question.
47:49Suicide bombing, killing innocent wrong.
47:51I give direct answer.
47:53Now I'm asking you a direct question.
47:54You give me a direct answer.
47:55You ask me.
47:56You are happy with my answer.
47:58No beating around the bush.
47:59I'm asking you directly.
48:00When you believe in the creator, why don't you accept the creator?
48:03I'm asking you directly.
48:05You ask me direct question in front of 30,000 people.
48:08I give a direct answer.
48:09I'm asking you a direct question.
48:11You didn't believe in God.
48:12I congratulate you.
48:13Now I prove to you that the creator wrote the Quran.
48:15Now I'm asking the question.
48:16Why don't you believe in the creator?
48:18I didn't say that I believe in the creator.
48:20No, you said the creator.
48:21Mimicking your speech which I watched.
48:24Brother, I didn't ask you to come here to mimic me, please.
48:28Did I ask you to come and mimic me?
48:30I asked you who wrote.
48:31You said creator.
48:32I didn't say.
48:33Did I say that?
48:34No.
48:34Even in my speech, I don't say.
48:36That's what you said.
48:37Even I didn't say.
48:38The questioner said.
48:40That means you haven't seen my speech correctly.
48:42Like how you are telling when I ask a yes, yes, he gives the reply creator, not I.
48:47Not I.
48:48That means I haven't seen my speech correctly.
48:50It is a person like you who I might have asked the question to, he gave the reply.
48:54Like how you gave the reply now.
48:56Did I ask you to mimic or did I ask you to give answer from your heart?
48:59So that means you are not a very truthful person, no?
49:04You asked me a question, brother.
49:05I gave answer directly from my heart, correct?
49:08I am asking a question.
49:10You gave the answer.
49:10Now you are saying that I am mimicking.
49:12Okay, if I say the creator is what you want to hear, now.
49:16Not what I want to hear.
49:16No, no, no, no.
49:17Listen, hypothetically here.
49:19Not hypothetically.
49:19If we say that I agree to the creator.
49:22Now, what if I say that I agree to the creator of what was written,
49:27what I don't believe, what was written justifies everything.
49:30You are giving me six facts.
49:31Correct, correct, correct.
49:32Very good, very good.
49:33You are telling me six things, but there is a lot in life that is not written there.
49:37Fine, fine.
49:37There is nothing about gravity or you are just telling me about light.
49:42Correct, very good, very good.
49:44The brother says he believes in the creator, but everything is not there.
49:49Brother, this book, the Quran, is not a book of science.
49:54S-C-I-E-N-C-E.
49:56It's a book of science, S-I-G-N-S.
50:00It's a book of ayats.
50:04There are more than 6,000 signs, 6,000 ayats in the Quran,
50:08out of which more than 1,000 speak about science.
50:11It's not a book of science.
50:122 plus 2 is equal to 4, that's not written there.
50:14But the beauty of it is, what is written, we did not know.
50:18Human means, that means the creator wrote.
50:20If it had everything of science, it would be a voluminous book,
50:23as book as a world trade center.
50:24Or maybe it's Buruj Dupay, tallest building now.
50:27It is not a book of science, brother.
50:28Please don't misunderstand.
50:30It is to prove to the scientist that this is the word of God.
50:33This is the word of creator.
50:34What do you have to tell me?
50:36To disprove it, you have to take out a mistake in the Quran.
50:39Quran says in Surah Nisa chapter 4, verse number 82,
50:41Do they not consider the Quran with care?
50:50Had it been from anyone besides Allah,
50:52there would have been contradictions in it.
50:53There have been mistakes in it.
50:55So for you to disprove the Quran, to be the word of Allah,
50:58we have to take out mistakes.
50:59That is the zeer I said.
51:00Please come up and take out mistakes in the Quran.
51:04Why?
51:04If it's wrong, I will leave it.
51:07If it's right, you join me.
51:09It's a two-way, not one way.
51:12But how old is the Quran?
51:14I don't exactly know.
51:16The Quran is approximately 1400 years old.
51:18Okay.
51:18And how long have human beings existed in this planet?
51:22Human beings have been millions of years.
51:23Millions of years.
51:25I'm not challenging you.
51:26Don't get this wrong.
51:27I just want to ask you.
51:27No, I like people challenging me.
51:29I like people challenging me.
51:30Okay, if you want to challenge, then I'll take that step.
51:33Okay, what is the reason that,
51:35first of all, I believe Christianity is older than Islam.
51:40No, no, you're wrong.
51:41How many years?
51:41You're wrong.
51:42Christianity is not older than Islam.
51:44What's the difference?
51:45Islam is there since time immemorial.
51:48Since man set foot on the earth.
51:50Okay.
51:51From the first amendment, it's already there.
51:53Prophet Muhammad is the last and final messenger.
51:56He came 1400 years ago.
51:58He was the last messenger.
51:59Quran is the last revelation, not the first revelation.
52:02This is the last testament.
52:04Otherwise, Islam is there since time immemorial.
52:06Isa alayhi salam, Jesus Christ, was a Muslim who can do the Quran.
52:09Abraham was a Muslim who can do the Quran.
52:11Peace be upon them all.
52:12So, Islam means peace acquired by submitting a will to Almighty God.
52:16It is there since time immemorial.
52:19Okay, so getting to the point,
52:21I asked you the time scale that the Quran has existed
52:25and the time scale of human beings.
52:27Not time scale of Quran.
52:29Islam is there since time immemorial.
52:30No, no, of the Quran, the book, the holy book.
52:34Not Islam.
52:35We can say Islam existed forever.
52:37But why was the Quran placed on earth afterwards?
52:42Very good.
52:43Very good.
52:43Very good question.
52:44And I also wanted to ask you something I always wanted to know about.
52:48That is the Darwin's theory of evolution.
52:51I know there's a lot of controversy on that.
52:54But why do you believe in evolution or you believe man was placed directly?
53:00And the whole thing of apes,
53:02the science that has proved that human beings emanated from apes.
53:07Do you agree with that?
53:08I just asked two questions that science...
53:09Two questions, sorry about that.
53:11No problem.
53:12Two questions, do you believe in Darwin's theory?
53:14Science has proved that human beings have been emanated from apes.
53:18Do you believe in, do you believe that human beings are placed?
