 This is the question, that what does Islam say about homosexuality and if it's wrong, why it is wrong? There's one rhetorical style used by Dr Zakir Naik that sets him apart from other scholars of Islam and I can make tons of videos on them. This style that got me researching into the makeup of his wisdom and vast philosophical mind is that of giving people the opportunity to ask genuine questions about theological issues and then offering them veritable answers that convince them to take very bold steps in line with their newfound reality. It was actually a direct beneficiary of this opportunity. Dr Zakir Naik presented doubt in prospective Muslims. In my turn, I asked a very important question. The answer to this question for me, as a student of Christian theology, was satisfactory because it touched on the fundamental issues that had be clouded my quest to step into Islam. So when I saw the video of this lady, I was not only started by intelligence but also by her open-mindedness and honesty. Speaking about open-mindedness and honesty, which are the very watch words of this channel, the Quran commands individuals to be truthful in all aspects of their lives and to avoid the sit-for behavior. I am thrilled by what Allah said in Sira al-Hutra verses 13, I quote, O Mankind, we have created you from a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes that you may know one another verily. The most honorable of you with Allah is that believer who has piety and righteousness. Allah went even more explicit in Sira al-Maidan verse 8, I quote, All you who have believed, be persistent, standing firm for Allah, witness injustices and do not let hatred of people prevent you from being just. Be just that is nearest to righteousness. As-salamu alaykum brothers and sisters, welcome to another episode of the open-minded thinker show. As our customs demand, please like and share this video in charity so that it can get to a lot of people who need this message. Don't forget to subscribe as well to help us grow. It's Priya. Priya. First of all, I would like to thank you for opening my eyes to how important it is to not follow any faith or religion blindly. Mashallah. Now, I realize how important it is to have questions to what you should and should not follow blindly. So my question is for why was Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, the last prophet and no one after to guide in this sinful world? My sister asked a very good question. That why Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was the last and final messenger. Why will no other messenger come after him? That's a very good question. People also asked me that why wasn't Prophet Muhammad sending the first and Quran revealed first and no problem. Both questions are valid, both are valid. Like my son says that I want to become a doctor. Why don't you put me medically call it directly? I said, no brother, first you have to go. My son to the Nasri, Junaikeji, first standard, second standard. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala our creator, He knows the human being the best. He knows what is the final message. He knows that the human beings have not yet developed to receive the last and final message. So therefore all the previous messages that came, they give the basic message of Tauheed, believing in one God. The Quran is the last and final messenger which is the perfect and the final message. All the other message was perfect but they were in brief. Like when you go to Nasri, you study A, B, C, D and then you keep on going ahead. Then mathematics 1, 2, 3, 4, 2 plus 3 is equal to 4. Then you study other things, multiplication, division and you keep on evolving. Similarly Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala knew that when human beings were there, first he gave them simple message depending upon the development and Allah thought 1400 years ago was the right time that now human beings have developed to assimilate the Quran. Christian theologians have argued that the consistency of a divine revelation with previous known revelations, I mean confirmed ones is the major of its truthfulness. Thus consistency is a key indicator of the reliability of a message. If a message is inconsistent, it can be challenging to determine what its true meaning is and it may be prone to misinterpretation. So Christianity with its changing narratives and interpretation of the scriptures have so far shown that the messages may have been corrupted from the cradle. But the beauty of the Quran is Allah knew that human beings would further develop but the minimum requirement to receive the Quran was 1400 years ago. You mean being that they since hundreds of thousands and millions of years, Allah wala, we don't know. We don't know. So what did Allah do? Allah reveals the last and final message, the Quran and the last and final messenger, Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam because when the last message comes, it has a time period and the last messenger comes is the final messenger. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when He revealed the last and final message. Allah says in the Quran in Surah Maida chapter 5 verse 3 on this day have I completed your religion for you and have chosen Islam for you and have completed my favor for you. Allah is telling the human beings on this day this was the last verse of the Quran to be revealed I have completed my religion for you and have chosen for you Islam. Now once Allah has completed the religion nothing new can be added, nothing can be subtracted. If something is added that means the previous thing wasn't complete, correct? Allah 5, 10 fingers, if you are 11, it's not complete. So Allah has completed the deen and completed the last and final revelation, the Quran by the last and final messenger Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam where this mentioned, as I said in my lecture Surah Azab chapter 33 verse number 40 That prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is not the father of human but he is the messenger of Allah and seal of the prophets. Now why did now when Allah revealed the last and final message the human beings keep on developing and we understand the Quran better science they develop the way we understand the Quran now we understand a little bit better of the Quran because science they develop but the message is the same. Now since the message will not change we don't require a messenger. So what does Allah do? Allah tells the Muslim tells the Muslim it is your duty now to deliver the message. Yes, it is now your duty to deliver the message you can do it in various farms such as sharing videos like this or even starting a YouTube Dawa channel of your own and make use of your talent to let messages like this spread around the globe. And still are the issue of reliability of the Divine Revolution as pointed out by Dr Zakhar Nigh in this case Islam consistency according to different religious texts provides strong evidence of the truthfulness of prophetic message the Bible and the Quran are very different religious texts right with different authors right languages and historical context right however there are many of the same prophetic message that provide strong evidence that these messages are based on real events and that have been consistently passed down through different cultures and generation over the ages the Quran is consistent and thus the last message. There is no new message, no new messenger but Allah thought to it that he told the Muslim Ummah that we have to deliver the message to the others and he said that the best profession for the Muslim is of Adai which I touched in my talk. So because the Prophet was the last messenger and because the Quran was the last message the Prophet Muhammad was the last messenger and I said him and talk because he was the last messenger he was Ramaz-ul-Alamin if he was not he would have been only the Arab world correct if he was if there is one more messenger to come he would have been meant only for one group of people maybe the Arab world maybe the Quran was meant only for 100 years 1000 years 2000 we don't know so because Allah says this is the last and final revelation and Prophet Muhammad is the last and final messenger it is meant for the whole of humanity that the reason the status of the Prophet is higher because the status is higher and the message is higher you can see the transformation much faster today in the world more than 25% of the human population are Muslims today in the world the most look down upon people in the world are the Muslims the most targeted people in the world are the Muslims the most criticized people in the world are the Muslims everyone is against us yet the message is going it is the end of time sister so because it is the end of time there will be no other messenger but the power of the message is so strong it is encompassing many people in the world the previous people who accepted the religion Christianity etc. they were just namesake today in the world when people say Christians they don't follow Christianity the people that follow any religion practically following any religion number one is Islam so the basic answer sister is because the message is last the messenger has to be last but the message is so strong and the messenger is so loving, so powerful so universal that it is transforming the world hope that answer the questions the message is strong he says and yes it is this is what I have been promoting for basically since this channel started the only true believers right now are the Muslims and this is just very obvious there are the ones that keep the faith practice their religion and take their deen so seriously oh yes yes mostly so I just had a last question why did Allah create this world and put us through this test when he had to end it and the world again sister asked another important question that why did Allah create this world and put us into it why? if he has to end it so the answer to this question is given in sorry Dhariat chapter 15 verse 50 is given it is that we have created not but the men in the jinn but worship this life sister is the test for the hereafter Allah says in the Quran in surah mulk chapter 67 verse 2 it's Allah who has created death and life to test which of you is good indeed so this life sister is the test for the hereafter like you are asking a teacher why are you taking examination in the examination sister some people pass some people fail correct so if you follow the guideline of the teacher you will pass if you don't follow you will fail so the teacher is testing who is worth passing so Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned in the Quran asked who would like to undergo this test Allah says in the Quran we human beings were fools who accepted the mountains shuddered we will not accept so Allah says who would like to undergo this test of course you and I don't remember you and I don't remember on the day of judgment again we will remember so Allah says in the Quran that the mountains shuddered we human beings were fools who accepted the challenge if you pass you become higher than the angels we humans are a creation of Allah who follow everything what Allah says they have no option so if they have no option they cannot go against so what is great they are following Allah they are good so if human beings who have been giving the option to go against Allah or follow the commandment of Allah we have a free will if we follow the commandment of Allah after being given a free will then we become higher than the angels if we don't follow so Allah asks us do you want to undergo the test where all the others are Muslims the tree is a Muslim the mountain is a Muslim that means they are just Muslims we human beings we have a choice after being given a free will if you obey the commandment you become the highest well he made a familiar point here about man and the angels and role of the free will explicated these from the prism of Christian Islam etiology angels have free will just as man does the difference is that angels are in build with knowledge of the actual will of God and thus act according to it however man lacks this knowledge and understanding of things he acts with infiteration of his sinful nature and sometimes makes wrong decisions yet man can be rewarded even greater than the angels if he follows the deen an emerges victorious against the world flesh and Satan sister do you believe there is one God yes I do do you believe prophet Muhammad is the messenger of God yes I do do you believe idol worship is wrong yes definitely so if you believe if you believe that there is one God and you believe idol worship is wrong and you believe that prophet Muhammad is the messenger of God then according to me you are a Muslim sister would you like to say this other would you like to say it in Arabic there are tears of joy sister would you like to enter the fold according to me you are already a Muslim would you like to proclaim it yes masha Allah I hope no one is forcing you sister you are doing it out of your own free will yes and I am asking you because you said that you have heard my lecture so surely you may be having a substantial some knowledge of Islam masha Allah sister I will just say it in Arabic and you can repeat it sister Ashadu Allah have the microphone close Allah Islaa Islaa Ashadu Anna Muhammad Abduhu Rasuluhu I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and I bear witness that prophet Muhammad is the messenger and servant of Allah and servant of Allah Takbir Amazing Shahada I love this moment I can remember my very own please share and like this video let it get to see the end of the world very amazing Shahada let's live it there brothers and sisters until next time Asalaamu Alaikum
