 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على أشرف الخلق وعز المرسلين أب القاسم محمد وعلى آل بيته الطيبين الطاهرين الآن we have so many wrong propaganda and we have little of so called Muslims groups that people are using as an execuse or evidence to prove that Islam does not co-exist or it cannot co-exist with others definitely we blame certain fatwas, certain ideas and maybe the certain media are taking advantages out of it but I cannot judge a big, strong, magnificent, precious ideology, doctrine, constitution, salvation for humanity like Islam because of certain minor acts or because of exceptions when you want to talk about Islam and say whether Islam co-exist with others or not you cannot just pick certain exceptions and based on the exceptions you say therefore Islam does not exist while we see blood shedding, they shed the blood let's say in Iraq, in Syria and Lebanon in certain places in Africa therefore Islam is not good when you are talking about more than 1 billion Muslims 1 billion Muslims you are talking about a huge number in humanity they say among 5 people on earth one of them is a Muslim so if let's say 1%, 2%, 10% were bad, what about the other 90% while you are, how come when it comes to Islam you start stereotyping and you do not look after the fact and you do not seek the proper resources while you want to pick unknown books or unknown resources and accuse me out of it let's go back to Quran let's go back to the prophets tradition let's go back to أهل البيت عليم السلام let's go back to certain resources that the Muslims in general agreed upon them and then started criticizing me you cannot just be naive and accuse me because you are fanatic, because you are ignorant because you do not know what's going on in this world you hear a couple reports, you watch a couple media reports, you read a couple articles you did a couple searches on your search engine and you came up with a conclusion start accusing people and spreading the bad words and bad message about a huge religion like Islam this is definitely not accepted let's go now and see what does the Quran say about coexistence and we want to show how Islam from a theoretical point of view from a belief point of view and from a practical point of view how it dealt with others if I take a look at the Muslims religion which we call it Islam let's see how it started as we talked about it before while the others were fighting the Muslims the Muslims by the order of the prophet and because of their good nature they did not fight back for 10 years they looted their belongs they boycub them they made them starve for 3 years in certain areas like Shaab Abi Pallad they killed them, murdered them, hurt them and punished them like what happened to Bilal the companion of the prophet when they punished him on the desert because he believed in one God and none of the Sahaba went and killed those who hurt him we did not hear that the prophet said go kill those people because they are punishing my companions the message was peace the message was think in a rational way the message was analyze my new religion to you you the pagans the message was look how good we are look how we behave, look how we react the message was we are human being and we are brothers when it comes to humanity we share the same resources if we differ let's come and talk about it let's have debates, let's argue let's have our own dialogues but forget about the sword, forget about the weapon forget about killing forget about hurting others forget about punishing others they punished Bilal he was from Africa he was a slave what did the prophet did they paid money for him to free him and he did not tell him go and kill those who punished you when it comes to the uncle of the prophet they killed Hamza in a very horrible way and then the person the individual that killed Hamza came to the prophet he said what did the prophet do he said you are a liar he said go I don't want to see your face he did not tell him hey it's the time I'm strong I have to get rid of you this is why Islam said the prophet is a mercy for humanity رحمة للعالمين this is from Quran رحمة للعالمين and also how he trained his people they were plotting against him to kill him in Madima in Mecca Mecca the town of the prophet the home of the prophet his people because they are afraid of his مسج because it's going to ruin their three-year worshipping to worship pagans to worship idols what's so good about it it's going to threaten their economy it's going to threaten their prestige it's going to ruin their so-called empire or social benefits what did the prophet do when they plot against him in Mecca يبرايل came and he told Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم those people are plotting against you what did he do he called on me and he told him you sleep in my bed so they might think I'm still sleeping and he fled to Madina what we call it nowadays مدينة did he order Ali to kill all those entering his house no never happened the message was still to be peaceful this is like 10 years of stress 10 years of problems 10 years of punishment 10 years of so many issues against the prophets followers and against the prophet himself and the prophet was make jihad by word using the Quran argue them with the Quran the jihad is using the words of the Quran و جاهدهم به that means make jihad using this Quran the rational thinking in this Quran the beauty of this Quran the spiritual dimension in this Quran this is what how the prophet approached his enemy or about others then definitely is more merciful وما أرسلناك إلا رحمة للعالمين you are the mercy to humanity to this earth by all means so he left Makkah he went to Al-Madina and even though they were attacking him he ordered to give his enemy their money back because he is the prophet is the trust worthy he is a trust worthy person even with his enemy this is another example even when they punished before that when they punished the family of Ammar the first two Muslims were killed in Islam the parents of Ammar bin Lasser what did he do did he tell Ammar go kill them at night plot against them and kill them in a very secret no that's not our way even Ammar was watching his parents punished and suffering by the enemy of Islam Quraish and they forced Ammar to say he believes in the idols so he said it and he was survived but what happened to his parents they were killed was the order to go start killing who are killing us some people they are very philosophical in a sarcastic way here because philosophy is about rational thinking they might say yeah because Muhammad and his followers peace be upon him was weak that's why he was nice with others but when he was strong he start killing people left and right this is not right this is your illusion this is another wrong propaganda this is a very very subjective understanding of Islam and very dangerous way of analyzing history and very unprofessional because history proved to us when Muhammad peace be upon him with his great army went to Mecca back again the place that kicked him out in the past when he was strong and was very much stronger than his enemy and his enemy were way more significant than others he came to Mecca and he ordered عليه عليه السلام to have his merciful merciful slogan slogan today is the day of mercy and those who used to punish Muhammad peace be upon him and his followers they considered some of their houses a safe place he said من دخل البيت أبا سفيان كان أمينا أبا سفيان used to hurt the prophet الله yet if you enter his house you are safe if you stay in your house you are safe this is Islam so he did not revenge the only thing he used the power when he entered الكعبة and he destroyed the idols because it does not belong to what Abraham has had built before and it was a three-year way to worship Allah سبحانه وتعالى that's the only way in his climax when it comes to power authority leadership محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم the mercy of God did not revenge back so your analyzing is wrong you might you might find a source here and there about something you dislike or something might does not fit what I'm talking about but I don't care about it because I go with the major behavior and the rest has to be questioned this is the way the prophet used to live this is huge history 99% this is the life of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the way he acted in the society you bring me as 1% and you want to contradict what I'm talking about that's one thing secondly let's see the Quran the message you said the message does not make me coexist with others where I said that's what the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did and a proof of coexistance with others when I said and a proof of coexistence when he had the Medina he had a truce with the Jews the Christian has the right to have their churches the Muslims are Allah to get married with the Christian they are Allah to get married with the Jews they are Allah to even the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to used to have the Christians like NASA نجران come to his mask and argue with him about Islam and the concept of this religion and when when their players was close what did the prophet tell them get out of my mask get out of our temple they played they practiced the rituals in the mask of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and no one was allowed to hear them this is coexistence and when we read in Quran when if someone from المشركين disbeliever disbeliever he is a disbeliever among the disbelievers a person came وانحد من المشركين استجارك ask for every refuge محمد he is a disbeliever and there is a battlefield even and he is disobeying the laws and he is plotting against Islam and yet he said you know what I ask for your for your for your refuge not forgiveness refuge grant me peace grant me an asylum the prophet shelter do you protect me and I am a disbeliever what was the answer فأجره that means take care of him answer his call protect him though he is what a disbeliever واسمعه كلام الله and make him know about the real image the real doctrine that's it he is a disbeliever and he used to fight you and he used to be against you but once he said I'm peaceful then give him the chance to understand this religion حتى يسمع كلام الله so this is Islam وان أحد من المشركين استجارك فأجره حتى يسمعك this is the ayah this is from the Quran we are not inventing it we are not inventing a new history we are not going back to history and changing our books giving you new additions Islam has been this way and this is our Quran and this is our heritage so why you want to twist the message then when it comes to real examples other than the time when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم let's see what the followers of Muslims that the Khulafa used to have scientists sometimes Christians, Jewish Islam had a very big slogan اطلوب العلمة ولو فسين according to some narrations even if you want to go to China go and search for knowledge that's a sign of coexistence الناس سنفعن نظيرون لك في الخلق او اخون لك في ابنين as Imam Ali عليه السلام منشن the people are two kinds it's either a brother because of because he is sharing the same faith with you the same belief او نظيرون لك في الخلق he is a human fellow take care of him this is a good sign of coexistence او نظيرون لك في المسلم جيغرافيكا نرى كمان كمان من الموقف او كمان من الموقف وكمان و لابنان و سيريا و بلسطين و راق هذا هو I have to respect it و بلسطين من الموقف كبير سنوات بعد جيس سير يوم و سيرا و بلسطين موجودة و لكن بعض المجموعة المجموعة جيسي يجب ان يتحفظها كما فعلوا بشكل أخرى تذهب إلى جيسلم يمكنك أن ترى المسج here و المسج here جد جد المسج لا يحدث لا يحدث لا يحدث نحن كمان من الموقف نقول نحن نحن نتبتع ببقى المسج والجيس لماذا لا نرى هذا في بايلهم نحن نتبتع ببايل لأننا ن تبقى في الله و نتبقى برواحة الله و لذلك قرآن يخبرون بمحمد صلى الله عليه و سلم فرصة مرحبة تأثيري كيف تقرأت مع المسلمين؟ كيف تقرأت مع أخرين؟ أظنني كيف تقرأت في أوروبا؟ أظنني كيف تقرأت with the Catholic with the Protestant؟ أظنني كيف تقرأت with the churches before بين the Crusaders and others؟ ماذا يحدث؟ لكن ليس لأجيالوجيا. الإيجاولوجيا، القرآن، الإسلامية، تقرأة العديد، تقرأة العديد من أعلى البيت عليهم السلام كل هذا كان جداً. أنك يجب أن تكون أفضل لأخرين. أنك يجب أن تقرأ والتحدث والتقرأة والديل. إذن الإمام علي عليه السلام This is another internal example. In the time of Al-Khawari. Nowadays we have problems. We have ISIS, everyone calls it ISIS. All these people are killing innocent Muslims and Christians in Middle East nowadays in 2014. They are killing Muslims and they are killing Christians. You go to certain media and they say all Muslims are killing Christians. Oh they are killing American journalists because they are Christians. No these people they are killing. Everyone does not believe in what they believe. They are only, they consider themselves the only divine group and the rest going to Hellfire. Even the Muslims they have been tortured and killed and that happened even during the beginning of Islam and the period of الإمام علي عليه السلام A group we call it Al-Khawarij. They used to think that they are the only right group and the rest are going to Hellfire. The good lesson we learned that Islam in the beginning gave them the freedom of speech as we call it nowadays. They used to threaten the Imam the Khalifa, the leader. They used to talk about him in a bad way. They used to do so many weird rituals believe in very weird ways yet الإمام made it clear to them as long as you do not hurt Muslims you do not bring hurt to the Islamic nation believe in whatever you want to believe in. We argue with you with our strong evidence we argue with you with the Quran rational thinking authenticated the tradition of the Prophet ﷺ but when they start killing Muslims الإمام علي عليه السلام start fighting them they killed even the Imam the leader of the Muslims you tell me how come a religion like Islam can generate such kind of groups Islam is not generating those groups those groups they are twisting Islam to build their own concepts and that's why Islam make a safe net when you want to understand Islam you do not understand it from any guy you do not just do the stuff and consider it Islam you do not just buy any book and consider it Quran make sure it is the authenticated one because some people nowadays they are having their own version they call it Al-Furqan over the internet no you come to the authenticated resources and you have to rationalize the stuff this is how to protect Islam the safe net as well you take Islam from the Prophet and Ahlul Bayt Ahlul Bayt stayed with Muslims about 300 years الإمام علي after the Prophet Muhammad the Prophet did not just leave it loose he assigned certain people to make sure Muslims are following the right understanding of Islam so no one will explain an ayah in a wrong way so he assigned الإمام علي الإمام حسن الإمام حسين الإمام زين العابدين الإمام الباكر about 300 years those people 300 years live them with people live them with the challenges live them with the challenges coming from other civilizations to prove to us the true identity and to keep the true identity of Islam that was the first safety net the second one is what is the behave of the general Muslims among all these years we never had such kind of ideology all of a sudden you come and you want to teach us the true image of Islam all those billions of Muslims they say no and you say yes definitely this is questionable among 1400 years we were going this way all of a sudden you are bringing us with the new ideas and you believe and you tell us I'm right and you guys are wrong this is another questionable things the third safety net is الله سبحانه وتعالى order us to be united and anything that ruin this unity it's not Islamic even in the time of الإمام علي عليه السلام when we say الإمام علي was the most important successful legitimate Khalifa after the Prophet yet when someone else was assigned what did he do that he fought to get that position no he said لأسلمنا ما سلمت أمور المسلمين لأسلمنا ما سلمت أمور المسلمين as long as the Muslims are good and live in peace there is no need to object and to create troubles and hurt others those are certain examples of coexistence and another way which we might talk about it later on is the flexibility of the legislation the legislation in Islam this is another sign of coexistence the flexibility of the legislation and then the message is a global message that has answers for every issue that you might face and the third one that Islam is the solution and it's a job to help you and to protect you support you not to make you a slave to its rituals we stop at this point
