 Save 10% with my coat, Bobby Tan. Just kidding guys, today's offer is much greater than a saving of 10%. I teamed up with my Muslim brothers and we created pure passage. Imaging sending the reward of Umrah, this Ramadan, to someone you really loved but had already departed from this dunya. For they're really sick and they cannot perform Umrah at all. Imaging the feeling of honoring his or her memory and expressing your love and devotion while still ensuring that they receive this gift, the reward of performing Umrah. As a new revert I just learned about this but you know better than me that performing Umrah is a profound spiritual journey that most Muslims aspire to undertake and you understand the rewards of it. However, for some this journey can be challenging especially when their loved ones are sick or have already passed away. At pure passage we understand how important it is to fulfill this obligation for your loved ones. That's why we offer our professional and reliable service to perform Umrah on behalf of your sick or deceased parents, spouse or any other relatives. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to fulfill the sacred act even if they are unable to do so themselves and equally understand that the physical and financial challenges of performing Umrah yourself on behalf of your loved ones can be overwhelming. That's where pure passage comes in. We take care of everything and make sure that your loved ones Umrah is performed with the utmost care and attention to detail. So let us help you earn this immense reward for your loved ones by performing Umrah on their behalf. Contact us today and let's make it happen. Mi-ith-mi-la. Alright guys, welcome back to the channel. If you're new, my name is Bobby. Guys, we haven't reacted to Dr. Zakir Naik in a while. Today with this video, Hindu asks what about people accepting Islam but don't follow it later. And then he becomes Muslim. So apparently we're gonna witness a live Shahada yet again. I would really like to know how many Shahadas Dr. Zakir Naik has to his record. Anyways, guys, just to be the favor, if you enjoy my videos, leave me a thumbs up and if you haven't subscribed already, guys, please do so. With no further ado, let's have a look. Non-Muslim, yes, brother. Come in the front. You can break the queue. Hello, sir. Good evening. Good evening. Yeah, my doctor is... In this live session, I have seen nearly six to seven non-Muslim brothers they are accepting this Shahada, right? In front of you. And you have been making them to read the Shahada. Okay? Now they were accepting it. Dr. Zakir Naik didn't make them take the Shahada. Ultimately this up to God. So they are getting into the Islam education school. Okay? Then after, they were not practicing. So what would be the final result? If they were accepting the Shahada, then after, there is no practice. It means proper practice. So what would be the final result at the last day of judgment for them? Whether the Allah is going to punish them without practicing? You have just... In front of Zakir Naik, you have accepted the Islam. La ilaha illallah, Muhammadur Rasulullah. So this question may be raised like this, right? The brother asked a very good question. I think it's a very good question as well. Obviously I'm not an Islamic scholar. However, I personally would not believe that it is enough to simply say the Shahada and treat it as you're out of jail-free card. I would believe that this is very hypocritical of course. By accepting this message, you of course should dedicate your life to it. Otherwise, what's the point of accepting this message? If I accept there is only one God and after that I go to a Buddha statue and I kneel before it and worship Buddha, what is the point? And the same applies of course for sinning as well. Why would I accept the message of one God? And then after that just go about my day as if nothing happened. So this question may be raised, I think so, right? The brother asked a very good question. That he has seen about seven or eight people accepting Islam. I think there are seven or eight. First for four, I think there were eight. Eight people who accepted Islam. And they said to the Shahada, what if they don't practice? Brother, why are you being a pessimist? Be optimist. What if they practice? La ilaha illallah, Muhammadur Rasulullah. No, I am asking the question that I am telling you. Why are you a pessimist? Pessimist means pessimist. Do you know the meaning of pessimist? No, sorry. Pessimist means the person who thinks negative. Why don't you be an optimist? You should say what if they practice Islam? InshaAllah they practice Islam. Coming to your question, what if someone takes the Shahada in front of me? Taking Shahada in the front of me is no benefit. Whether you take it in front of me, behind me, taking Shahada is important. If you take it in front of Dr. Zakir Naik, no extra marks. Dr. Zakir Naik is zero in Islam. Taking is important. Whether in front of me or in front of you, no problem. Point number one. Point number two, that if they practice Islam, inshaAllah they will go to Jannah, without doubt. What if they don't practice Islam? Chances is how much? Theory of probability, 50-50, correct? Okay, yeah. 50-50, no? Yeah, 50-50. Toss a coin, yes or no? 50-50. Hypothetically they don't practice Islam. Okay. If they practice 50% Jannah? Yeah, 50% Jannah. 50% Jannah, so Alhamdulillah. Better than going to Jannah. Point number one. I'm coming to your question. Maximum, minimum chance is 50. So I'm telling if this person doesn't take Shahada, if you don't take Shahada, what will happen? If you take 50%, 50% Jannah, you know the Quran says on the day of judgment, the non-Muslim will say, we would not mind giving you the full wealth of this world, give us Jannah. Jannah is more valuable than the full world. Yeah, I think this is of course a very optimistic perspective here. He says, hey, at least you have a 50-50% chance. If you don't take the Shahada, your chance is zero. I personally do not believe that yet again, disclaimer, I am not a scholar. That's my personal opinion. But by reading the Quran, I saw the verse that said, surely those who believe and those who are Jews and the Christians and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the last day and does good, they shall have the reward from their Lord. And there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve. So just by reading this verse, which by the way is extremely powerful, of course you get the impression that no matter if you are a Jew or a Christian, you will get your reward as long as you do believe in one God and you're doing good deeds. And therefore by this Quranic statement, you can of course come to the conclusion that this applies as well to Christians, etc. And if we extrapolate that thought and we go further, then we have to come to the conclusion that the Shahada itself is of course the very first step. Amazing, however, it is not the end all be all because the Quran itself says that the Christians and the Jews and the Sabians can get their reward as well. And this is really what it boils down to. If you decide to become a Muslim, Alhamdulillah, amazing, however, now the real work begins. At least this is how I see it. I truly believe that if I would have stayed within my own Christian tradition, however, believe in one God, worship God alone, do not commit shirk, I should have been able to get my reward, if you will. However, this was not enough for me because I saw the truth within Islam. And this is why I committed myself to Islam. And this is why, of course, I want to adhere to Islam. And we're talking about salvation here. We're talking about the soul. I'm not going to gamble away my soul. Hey, that's a 50% chance. Yeah, well, fantastic. We should talk about what it truly means to be a good Muslim. Correct. At least that's how I see it. I'm getting 50%, what a great deal. I don't know. Great deal. If I tell you I'll give you a million dollar, what would you do? You stay awake full night, right? Million dollar, 6 crore rupees, 7 crore. What will you do? You stay awake full night, right? Yeah. So, this is much more than billions and trillions of dollars. Now, come into your question. If the person practice Islam 50% inshallah, Guru Jannah, if he doesn't practice, if the person doesn't practice yet, if he does not do shirk, and if he believes there is one God, and if he believes Prophet Muhammad is the messenger of God yet, high chances he will go, but he will go late. Okay. If he doesn't practice well, he will go to hell first. Okay. Yeah, I mean, this doesn't go against the statement of the Quran either. As I just mentioned, ultimately, as long as you believe in one God and you do your good deeds, you should get your reward. Here again. A little punishment. But if he doesn't do shirk, Quran says in Surah An-Nisa chapter 4 was 48, and Surah An-Nisa chapter 4 was 116. If Allah wishes, he may forgive any sin, but the sin of shirk, he will never forgive. That means, if he accepts Islam, he drinks alcohol, and he gambles, and he cheats, maybe little days he'll go to hell, get some punishment. Maybe God will take him out and put him in hell after that. Other people who do shirk, 100% forever in hell. Yet, it's a good deal. Right or wrong? Yeah, right, sir. So, do you believe this one God? He's a salesman. He's a salesman. It's a good deal, no? Take it. Would you like to say the Shahada? But what, sir? You already did. But I have to believe in it, huh? If you say, only to fool me. Wait, wait, wait. Okay. If someone says, Okay, I am a Muslim, and it doesn't believe. God knows, I will not know. God knows, then no Jannah. Okay. You actually have to believe this one God. You actually have to believe idol worship is wrong. See, that's what he's in a brother, he said. He wants to accept Islam, correct? Yeah. And then he said that, I believe Jesus is God. I didn't give him Shadda. Did you notice that? Yeah. Ah, that means I'm not just counting. Because he said, No, I believe Jesus is God. Okay, Jesus is God. That means you cannot become a Muslim. Yes. Yeah, that would be, of course, very inauthentic. Even her Shahadas were Christians, were made to say there is no God. But God and Jesus is his messenger and Muhammad is his messenger. I believe that this is very important, of course, because you have to set everything straight before you're taking the Shahada. The Shahada should be a declaration of what you believe. Do you believe that Prophet Muhammad was a prophet? Do you believe that there is only one God? If this is truly in your heart, you truly believe this, then you should say the Shahada. Give me a million dollars, I will not give him Shahada. Correct? Yeah. That means I'm not just, I'm listening. Yeah. Now if someone cheats me and tells me a lie, Allah Allah, I cannot go into his heart and check. Okay. And so, you have to really believe there is one God. You have to believe that worship is wrong. You have to believe that Prophet Muhammad is a messenger. Then if you don't follow yet, there are chances you'll go to Jannah. Good bargain. There are many Muslims who are doing wrong things. But they are not good Muslims. Maybe they will never enter Jannah. I don't know Allah Walaam. But they can yet go. But if you die to Mushrik, if you die to Ishirik, 100% Hellfire. No option at all. And one more thing, sir. You have informed just before the session, one of my non-Muslim brothers has speak to you that you have to question him. In our Vedas, it was mentioned that the Prophet Muhammad will be coming back, right? So he had accepted that, yes. I accept that our Vedas is accepting the thing. So you told that if you are accepting the thing, it means that you are accepting that Allah is one. It means the God is one. And the Prophet Muhammad is the one only messenger. Correct. So then after you have told that, if you are accepting the same thing, then I am and you are the same one. Correct. Right? Basic thing is the same. Not totally. Right? Correct. Okay. If we are the same, then what there is a difference between worshipping in that way and worshipping in this way? What is the difference? Very good question. Yeah, this is a really good question because it boils down to the verse that I just quoted. What if this man stays in his tradition? He stays a Hindu or whatever you want to call it. Even though Hinduism is an umbrella term, of course, there are so many different branches. There is not one Hinduism. What if he believes in his Vedas? He believes in Prophet Muhammad. However, when it comes down to practicing, he doesn't want to, let's say, go to the mosque. He doesn't want to adhere to Ramadan. He doesn't want to adapt that religious aspect of Islam. He wants to stick with his own tradition. However, worship one God alone. What happens then? But they don't know Prophet Muhammad is mentioned in the Vedas. Correct? Right. Okay. So actually, they are not practicing Hindus. The many Christians say, I love Jesus. I love Jesus more than them. I am circumcised. They are not circumcised. Jesus said, don't have alcohol. Peace be upon you. I don't have alcohol. They have alcohol. The Bible says, don't have pork. I don't have pork. They have pork. I am more Christian than the Christians themselves. To play devil's advocate here, I can't find one passage where Jesus said, you should not drink alcohol. Quite the opposite. If you read the Bible, he was serving wine. I love Jesus. Peace be upon you. They are all fake. And I'm not making a statement for alcohol. Don't get me wrong. I'm not drinking either. However, this argument is flawed. All fake. Right or wrong. Now, I told you I'm a Hindu. Hindu means coming from the land of Indus Valley. Geographical definition. Right or wrong? Right or right. Not a religious definition. Yeah. Religious definition. Now, I tell them that why don't you believe in Veda? I don't agree. I don't agree everything of the Veda to be the word of God. But the Hindu believes. So I tell, let us agree what's coming. Quran says, believe in one God. Veda says, believe in one God. Quran says, don't do idol worship. Veda says, don't do idol worship. Quran says, believe in Prophet Muhammad. Veda says, let us agree. Now, previously, you were a Hindu, not knowing that Veda says, believe in Prophet Muhammad. Now you know. Now we are together in one part, main part. Okay. Now, once you say you believe Prophet Muhammad is a messenger, you have to follow the message. Right or wrong? Right. But one more thing. No, no. So when you believe in the message, what is the message? Again, to play devil's advocate here, I heard a Christian talk about this and he accepted Prophet Muhammad as a messenger. However, he believed in the covenant with the Jews, with the Christians and with the Muslims. And therefore, he didn't see the need to change an organized religion. He stayed within his own tradition, worships one God and does believe the Prophet Muhammad is the messenger. Quran. Right or wrong? Right. So indirectly, I'm telling them, your Veda is telling, come close to Quran. Your Bible is telling, come close to Quran. For sure. Right or wrong? Right. I'm not criticizing the Veda. I'm not criticizing. I can. I can give a lecture if my son gave for one hour ten minutes similarities. I can give five hours on dissimilarities, differences. Okay. If I can give a lecture three hours on similarity with Islam and Hinduism, I can give five hours on differences between Islam and Hinduism. But I don't want to create fight. I love my Hindu brothers. I love my Christian brothers. Okay. That's the reason people hear my talk and many of them accept. Some of them don't like me. Okay. But did I love them? So brother. Fine, sir. The thing is, right now I can't read this Shadr because I'm getting the teachings about the Quran from three months since I have been reading this Quran. Very good. With one of my colleagues, two of them are right now they are here. So I want to fulfill the total Quran then after I will... Total Quran you cannot fulfill, brother. No Muslim can say I follow hundred percent. Even I cannot say I'm a human being. Hundred percent. I'm not saying that I want to fulfill Quran. I want to read it completely. I want to know every point, what it has been mentioned. Brother, how long will you live? How long? How long will you live? I can't tell you the correct one. Suppose if I tell you, if I tell you there is a deal of one million dollar telling me yes or no within one hour. What will you do? What will you do? You will not let me do research for one month. One hour yes or no, million dollar gone. This is not million dollars, this is trillion dollars. I personally really dislike this pressuring and I had it on my channel as well. While researching Islam, I had so many comments every single day. Why don't you convert? You can die tomorrow, etc. But those people do not know what's in your heart. There was a very good reason why I didn't accept Islam right away. I had to fully understand it. And yes, of course, you cannot fully understand it. However, completely enough for me personally to be firm in my decision. Because what's the point? The guy here himself asked, hey, how about those people that accept Islam and after that they're not practicing. If you're not practicing after that, you can fall off the faith. Wouldn't it be much more intelligent to be fully convinced first, absolutely convinced with your heart, with your mind, with your soul, then accept it and then stick to it? That of course makes much more sense, don't you see? And this was the reason for me. Because I jumped into all kinds of ideologies during my young life. Now I'm 35 years old. To commit to something for life, I need to understand it sufficiently. I need to be convinced completely. And this is why I personally believe that people should not be pressured to Shahadas whatsoever because there is a dropout rate in new reverts as well. And I heard that is 50%. So 50% of people that took the Shahada actually leave Islam yet again. So what is the point in such a practice? The real motivation behind it should be to convey the message of Islam. And if they choose to convert, it's up to them. Okay. And be good. I don't know how long will I live. I don't know if I'll go back to Bombay or not, correct? Yeah, right. Even you don't know. Once you're convinced, accept it. Yeah, you have to be convinced. If you enter the school, you don't say, I'll do research. What research? By the time you grow old, you will not be able to enter the school, correct? Then you have to go to university. By the three months, three months? It took me two years. It means without any fulfillment about any... No, two, no, two fulfillment. No, no, no. It's not, I'm not speaking about that type of fulfillment. You have already informed, you just check with the Islam. What is the Islam? I want to understand what type, what was mentioned. What is there inside? See, once you accept in these two things, you do that. You know a hundred things about Islam. You follow it and don't follow twenty, no problem. Okay, it's not a problem for me. Yeah, maybe it's not a problem for you, but for me it would be a problem. Because if I commit to something, let's say I want to get married, right? And they tell you, hey, you see her? What are you thinking about? Take her, looks good. Done deal here, take her. For the rest of your life, right? So you saw her, she looks good. Can she cook? Does she clean? Is she of good character? You don't know anything about this woman other than that she looks good. She's a woman, she looks good. Hey, hey! And that's what Dr. Zakir Naik does here. Are you ready a little bit of the Quran? Three months, brother, it's enough. It's enough. You believe in one God and idol worship is wrong. Done, done, finished. Of course not, because this man has to understand what Islam entails. And if he's not convinced about the other aspects of Islam, by him accepting and then not practicing those things, his faith will crumble. There's a girl in Japan, and she told me, Brother Zakir, I cannot give a poke. I said, well, I love it. Can I give a poke? She said yes. She was wearing a scarf. I said, why wearing a scarf? No, my Muslim friend there has a scarf. I like it. Do you believe in one God? She said yes. I said, give the Shahza, continue eating poke. People were shocked. I said, maybe after two weeks you'll stop. Maybe after two months you'll stop. Maybe after two years you'll stop. Even if she doesn't stop, yet she can go to Jannah or not. There are many Muslims who are having alcohol. Drinking alcohol is a bigger sin than having poke. Right or wrong? Right. This is Hikmah. At least the shirk is not there in our life. I will not say, no, unless you don't stop eating poke, you can't give the Shahza full. Right or wrong? Right. Yeah, I do understand the point. However, in Islam, you don't eat poke. You don't drink alcohol. So therefore, when you are drinking alcohol, God forbid, at least you know that you are committing a sin. If you would have poke, you would be committing a sin. If it is not out of survival. This woman is clearly not there. She simply wears the scarf because she likes it, but she loves poke. She doesn't see anything wrong with it. And of course, she has to understand what is wrong about it and that it is wrong indeed. Otherwise, she will just keep on eating poke without understanding that she is sinning. What research do you want to do? Yes, get convinced. He is very optimistic. But one more thing. Yeah, convince. Sanatana dharma. But lekin is a big question. Yes brother. I see what I have to know about Sanatana dharma. No problem. I want to know what the thing is. As per the Quran, 1400 years since, it means the Quran was in existence. So what about the Sanatana dharma? Sanatana dharma comes to Swami Vivekananda. The present Veda that you have is a very small percentage. Most of the Veda have been lost. Okay. They do not know when exactly the Veda came into existence. Who did it come to? Yet they believe it is the Word of God. Most of the scholars say the Veda is 4,000 years old. But according to Swami Dhan and Saraswati, he said the Veda is 1,310 million years old. 1,310 million years old. But most of the scholars says 4,000. Now when you do research, you come to know yet today it is not there in the pure form. There is no book on the face of the earth which is in 100% pure form, besides the Quran. Okay. You put it to the test of science. I mean, maybe religious book, right? Again, to play devil's advocate here, of course. We have plenty of books nowadays that are still in their original form. They're just not that old. I know, nobody likes the wise-ass. You put the Bible to the test of science. It will fail miserably. You put the Veda to the test of science. It will fail. Quran is the only religious book on the face of the earth which is yet there in its pure form for the last four years. Religious book, yeah. For sure. What was your opinion regarding this? It means how many years it was the existence? Sanatana Dharam. Sanatana Dharam. I lead from the scholars of Hinduism. No, it was a slight thing. But you have slight knowledge. Yes. Why I was asking this question? Sanatana Dharam is closer to Islam than the other Hinduism. Sanatana Dharam is much more closer to Islam. It's a more pure form of Hinduism than the other religion. Other sects, sorry. I agree with you. Because why I raised this question is if you go with India, most of the time you will be having Hindus. Okay? Muslim percentage is less compared to Hindus. Yes. Very low, yeah. If Sanatana Dharam is having large existence, then this Islam, it may be, I think, this would be the oldest one. If that is your logic in the world, if that is your logic in the world there are more Muslims or Hindus? Ha ha. Anyway, in Islam, majority doesn't win. In Islam, majority doesn't win. Suppose I am alone Muslim and if there are thousand Hindus around me, that doesn't mean they are right. This is the wrong logic. Quran says in Surah Isra'a chapter Yeah, this is called an appeal to majority fallacy. Of course, everybody says it's right there. For it must be true, obviously not. If we look into the past few years, we saw many people that had certain opinions that were certainly not true. It was the 81. It's mentioned in the Quran When truth is heard again, falsehood, falsehood perishes. For falsehood it's about to perish. So, never does it mean that majority wins. Majority is not right. What is Haqq is correct. You understand? This logic that majority wins will benefit me because there are more Muslims in the world then and you are living in Qatar. In Qatar also there are more Muslims, correct? Yeah. In Islam, majority doesn't win. You check it with reason. Check it with logic. Check it with your heart and you'll come to know which is true. Sure. Okay, thank you. So, yet you are not prepared. The moment already when I started, I have read the kalma. For it? The moment when I started, I know you sent the kalma but maybe you said it just for reading. See, one is saying with conviction, one is just reading and you read it. If you read it, I know you read it. One is with conviction. Yes, believing there's one God. Believing Prophet Muhammad. That is the real thing. Reading like that kalma, you read very fast. Okay, I'm ready to read it. Okay, masha'Allah. You believe there's one God? Yeah. And you believe idol worship is wrong? Yeah. And you believe Prophet Muhammad is a messenger of Allah? Yes. Is anyone forcing you to access Islam? No. Are you doing out of your own free will? Just pressuring a little bit. Are you doing out of your own free will? Sorry? Are you doing it out of your own free will? Yes, yes. Okay. I'll say it in Arabic and you can repeat it. Ashadu. Ashadu. Allah. Allah. Ilaha. Ilaha. Illallah. Illallah. Wa Ashadu. Wa Ashadu. Anna. Anna. Muhammadan. Muhammadan. Abduhu. Abuhu. Wa Rasuluhu. Wa Rasuluhu. I bear witness. Allah. There is no God but Allah. And I bear witness. And I bear witness. That Prophet Muhammad. That Prophet Muhammad. Is the messenger. Is the messenger. Is the messenger. And servant of Allah. And servant of Allah. Masha Allah. Because Muslim. And I pray to Allah. That may he make you strong. Brother. I pray to Allah that may he make you strong. And insha Allah I feel you will be amongst the strongest. Thank you. Because you know if it's difficult it's strong. And I pray to Allah that may he make you guide other people to the truth. May he go to Jannah. Thank you. Thank you very much. Alright guys. And this is it for this video. Long enough as it is. I'm going to cut it off here. I said pretty much everything throughout the video. I'm not a fan of pressuring people into Shahadas. I really hope that he was sincere in the end. Yes. The main belief is there. That you believe in one God. And that Prophet Muhammad is the messenger. However you need to confirm for yourself that you understand what Islam entails. And what it is about. If you for example are a pig farmer. And you just love eating pork. And you think it's absolutely right. And you cannot accept that it is wrong. Or you think circumcision is absolutely wrong. Or you think that drinking alcohol is absolutely right. Etc. Then you are in conflict with Islam. And I would say then please take your time. It is good that you believe in one God. And God knows that. It is good that you believe that Prophet Muhammad was a messenger. However, then you would have to understand what it entails. That Prophet Muhammad is the messenger. And what kind of Sharia he really brought. And this is why I out of personal experience would say take your time. You have to be firmly convinced. 100%. Only through firm conviction you can stick with something. Because you will always remember why you chose it in the first place. Yet again, if you choose your wife just because somebody said she is pretty. You are not going to be so committed to her. However, if you choose your wife and you know why you chose her. No matter what kind of hardship you go through. You will always think back and remember why you chose her in the first place. There was something that convinced you in the first place. And no matter how rough the times you can always think back. And if you think about religion, if you think about Islam. You can always think back to your firm conviction. Why you chose Islam. Even in times of little faith if your Imam is not that strong. And we will all have battles as such. During that time you can always remember. This is why I chose Islam. And this is so powerful for reverts. Because many Muslims are born into the religion of course. But we as reverts we have this absolute precious gift of choosing Islam. Then we can always remember I chose it myself. I know why I chose it. Even though now in this stage I might feel differently. But this is why I chose it. Only with firm conviction you can dedicate yourself for life. Alright guys but this is it for today's video. If you liked it leave it a thumbs up. If you haven't subscribed already guys please do so.
