Introduction to Islam - Dennis Wholley meets Imam Qazwini

Dennis Wholley meets Imam Hassan Qazwini, leader of the Islamic Centre in Dearborn, Michigan, to discuss the fundamental beliefs of Islam, and remove any misconceptions the general public may have. Many non-muslims have the idea that the Islamic clerics and leaders are hostile and unapproachable, however Dennis Wholley shows that the Islamic leaders (Imams) are normal people like you and I, striving for a better future for upcoming generations.

Imam Qazwini starts the conversation by talking about the meaning of the terms "Islam" which is translated to mean "Submission", and "Muslim" which is translated to mean "One who submits". Qazwini then goes on and gives an example of Prophet Abraham(pbuh), in which the Quran states was a Muslim, in the sense that he submitted himself totally to the way of God when sacrificing his son Ishmael (or Isaac according to the Jews).

Hassan Qazwini then goes on to talk about 5 fundamental principles in both sects of Islam (Shia and Sunni), which are "Shahada"(Declaration of the Oneness of God, and that Mohammed is God's last messenger), Prayer, Fasting, Charity and Hajj.

Imam Qazwini then gives Islamic Perspective on 3 predominant issues which arise between inter-faith debates, these are: Creation of God, Sources of Good and Evil in the world and Heaven/Hell.

Qazwini finally concludes the discussion by condemning the people who have "hi-jacked" Islam, and use it to their own personal benefit and gain.

I ask all people viewing the video to avoid speaking filthy words when leaving comments, however if you would like to present an argument, then do so in a presentable and respectable manner, Thank you.

Not against anyone, unless necessary. I meant that Sunni and Shia need to stop the infighting and fitna and unite because we're both, Sunni and Shia, MUSLIM.

[kayhan213]

Sunnis who follow Al-Qaeda and taliban are cults. Sunnis are lost. Don't speak for Shias if you don't have any knowledge.

@draxec im referring to the word itself

[draxec]

@Aloosh12 How you can say Allah isnt unique? Allah is the one. You cant use Allah for other things even in grammar. God is mean ilah not Allah. And there is no ilah there is Allah. I am not talking about grammar. I just said we have to be careful with it. Thats all. I am not scribbling anyone. Selamun Aleykum.

[Aloosh12]

@draxec to be frank if u speak literally the word Allah in the arabic isnt unique i mean now we have a word for goddess and gods.. la ilaha 2ila allah ?? the word allah is there. its due to the grammar in the sentence it changes. what is ure point?
