Blindly Following Scholars in Aqīdah?

[@MM-mc8hs]

جزاك الله خيرا 100%. There is no difference of opinion regarding aqeedah. Why? Because these are matters of the unseen, and the matters of the unseen have no room for interpretation. The people of Tawheed and sunnah take the basic meaning of the words that Allah سبحانه و تعالى used to affirm for Himself. Without likening them to the Creation Example: Allah سبحانه و تعالى sees. And humans see. But the seeing of the human has defects, and is unlike the seeing of Allah سبحانه و تعالى (Allah سبحانه و تعالى affirmed in the Qur’an that He sees) Allah سبحانه و تعالى hears. And humans hear. But the hearing of humans has defects, and is unlike the hearing of Allah سبحانه و تعالى (Allah سبحانه و تعالى affirmed in the Qur’an that He hears) Allah سبحانه و تعالى has Hands. And humans have hands. But the Hands of humans have defects and, are unlike the Hands of Allah سبحانه و تعالى (Allah سبحانه و تعالى affirmed in the Qur’an that He has Hands) Allah سبحانه و تعالى is above His Throne (Allah سبحانه و تعالى affirmed in the Qur’an that He is above His Throne) We know about Allah سبحانه و تعالى, what He told us in the Qur’an. And we know about Allah سبحانه و تعالى, what the Prophet ﷺ told us in the Hadith. Sadly, the people of misguidance have placed human constraints on Allah سبحانه و تعالى using Greek philosophy/Aristotle to reject/change/empty the attributes of what Allah سبحانه و تعالى affirmed for Himself

Jazakallahu khair. I was not convinced with some points you raised in your earlier video related to madhaahib about someone not knowledgeable enough can actually follow madhhab then when he learns or mature enough he should look into what is sahih hadith. But in this one your are stressing on Quran and Sahih hadith. When I was growing up in india and then lived in Middle East for few years before settling down in Australia now I had a huge transformation from first being a hanafi (tableeghi too) then learnt from a group called Ahle hadith that we should reject madhaahib and follow Quran and Sahih hadith only. This was so satisfying back then so I changed myself to these two and followed those scholars who used to give fatwa and explained stuff only on the basis of Quran and sunnah. Now I am still sticking to these two and listen to scholars who judge based on these two. I was surprised to see some compassionate imams and some madina scholars inclining more towards madhaahib now a days and I was so unhappy about that because back in old days this ahle hadith and about 30 years ago in my south Indian states the scholars were so strict in sticking to Quran&sunnah and rejecting the idea of madhhab. I expect you to reject the concept of madhhab outright and call people towards the Quran and Sunnah only. I used to see there was atleast finally one imam sheikh uthman now speaking only on the basis of Quran and sunnah and lead people but sheikh I urge you advise people to stick to these two only no matter what. The logic behind saying that 'not so knowledgeable' person or laymen can follow madhhab until he gets advanced in ilm is wrong. This is somewhat what the hindus say about for the laymen they need statues and idols to worship but once they reach the higher level of concentration they don't need to worship keeping idols. We as Muslims criticise this saying how falacious and mean this ruling is. The Quran and sahih hadith(except few that contradicts Quran) are the only sources of Authenticity and we have all our knowledge of matters of deen that can be judged and extracted from these two. We don't need madhahib to follow and interpret these. Sticking to madhhabs actually split the religion into many. Yesterday one of my friends said he is forbidden to eat crab because he is hanafi ..I am like what??? Seafood is pure and halal. Things which are allowed by Allah in Quran are being challenged because they give importance and follow blindly or do taqleed (total submission) to the books or sayings of madhab scholars this is extremism in religion, though scholars like imam shafi said "إذا صحى الحديث فهو مذهبى meaning ***sahih hadith is my madhhab***" which is their path too. But people were misguided in the name of these scholars who did not stick to madhhab themselves. So bro sheikh uthman bin farook, Allah has bestowed you with gift of gab and soft speech so please call Muslims to Quran and sunnah (sahih hadith) only. The religion is One. - your brother in islam Yusuf from Melbourne, Australia

When bida Imams agree w/ Salafis its on texts, & they disagree opposing Quran & Sunna! Ghazali admits a difference w/ Tawhid Rububiya/Lord (Allah's Actions) & Ulluhiya/God (our actions for Allah) citing Quran 31 :25, but his error on Isitwa is akin Firaun's in Quran 28 :38! A) Quran 31 : 25 - And if you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) ask them: "Who has created the heavens and the earth," they will certainly say: "Allah." (Allah's Lordship or Rubbubiya are related to His actions - my addition) Say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah!" But most of them know not. (Allah's Ulluhiya or Godhood is related to our actions/ revealed worship - my addition) He himself even says : "The prophets - peace and blessings be upon them - were, therefore, sent in order to call the creation to the Oneness, that they may say, “There is no god (to be worshiped - my addition) except Allah.” They were not, however, commanded to say, “We have a god and the world has a god (should say Lord - my addition),” because such a thing is inborn in their minds from the time of their birth and in the midst of their youth." Summary : Lord = Creator, God = One served! B) When Gazali errors on Istiwa (principle viii) He sites, Qur'an 41 : 11 - Then He rose (Istawa) towards the heaven when it was smoke, ... - the word "towards / ila" & "over / a'ala" isn't the same. He says "This is only through dominion and power" and in denying the actual Istiwa he imitated the error of the Firaun. Qur'an 40 : 37 - "The ways of the heavens, and I may look upon the Ilah (God) of Musa (Moses): But verily, I think him to be a liar." ... C) Ghazaali even contradicts Mutazali/ Asharites on Ruya ( as does Abu Hanifa in his work Fiqhul Akbar): "Would that I knew how the Mu’tazilites knew the attributes of Allah that Moses himself did not know; or how Moses asked to see Allah when seeing Him was impossible!" (as does Abu Hanifa) Again when Imam's who error agree with the Salafis its based on evidence and when they disagree, they disagree with Quran and Sunnah... As he himself states in principle ix : " Ignorance is more likely to be rampant among heretics and sectarians than among the prophets" ( peace & blessings be upon them). How to use internal dawa, show the superiority of your salaf and then show its the origin and then show why their dawa is unhealthy.... if we don't use our dawa as basis and just use internal dawa without basis to the point we replace our own which is why studying Aqida Manhaj is important, we end up like mutazliahs valuing man made ignorance over din , may Also show inferiority complex, and man made ideas create blind division.

[@falsesectslikeshiaarejudeo6543]

We call Asharis back to correct way shahada, giving Allah His High description and following the sunnah & stable foundation which even Ashari repented, & which lead to secular colonization & away from their arrogant to the salaf from just like we call the christians back to follow the true Message of Jesus... Quran 16 : 60 & 64 - For those who believe not in the Hereafter is an evil description, & for Allah is the highest description. & He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. 64 . - And We have not sent down the Book (the Qur'an) to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), except that you may explain clearly unto them those things in which they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a folk who believe. We are to speak truthfully & only speak of the ghaib with texts : Quran 6 : 50 - Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "I don't tell you that with me are the treasures of Allah, nor (that) I know the Unseen; nor I tell you that I am an angel. I but follow what is revealed to me." Say: "Are the blind and the one who sees equal? Will you not then take thought?" ~~~ None of Khulab/ Asharis have an isnad for their view, while all Atharis are people of hadith & Isnad, and this includes repentance of Imam Ashari too: 1) Fiqhul Akbar by Abu Hanifah, Point 4 : He has a hand, a face, and a self (nafs); the mention that God most High has made of these in the Qur’an has the sense that these are among His attributes, and no question can be raised concerning their modality (bila kayf). It cannot be said that His hand represents His power of His bestowal of bounty, because such an interpretation would require a negation of an attribute. This is the path taken by the Qadarites and the Mu’tazilites. Rather, His hand is an attribute, of unknowable modality, in the same way that His anger and pleasure are two attributes of unknowable modality God Most High created things out of nothing, and He had knowledge of them in pre-eternity, before their creation. 2) lmaam Ahmad (d. 241 ] said, “These ahaadeeth should he left as they are ... ‘We affirm them and we do not make any similitude for them. This is what has been agreed upon by the scholars.” - 136 Reported by Ibn al-Jawzee in Manaaqib lmaam Ahmad, pp. 155-156 3) Abul-Hasan al-Ash’aree (d. 324H) said, “If it is said, ‘Why do you deny that His saying: “Do they not see that We have created for them what Our Own Hands have created.” 164 And His saying: “Whom I have created with My Own (Two) Hands.” - 165 are rnajaaz (metaphorical)?’ To him it is said, ‘ The ruling concerning the Speech of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, is that it is taken upon its dhaahir (apparent) and haqeeqah (real) meaning. Nothing is removed from its dhaahir (apparent) meaning to majaaz (a metaphorical) one, except with a proof ... It is obligatory to affirm two Hands for Allaah, the Most High, in its haqeeqah (real) meaning, not with the meaning of ni’matayn (two bounties of Allaah).” - 168 Al-Ibaanah ‘an Usoolid-Diyaanah, p. 133. ~~~ Salafis don't say Attributes of Allah mean an appendage of limb/body... Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: It is well-known that there is no report from any of the Prophets or from the Sahaabah or from the Taabi‘een or from any of the early generations of the ummah to suggest that Allah is a physical entity or that He is not a physical entity. Rather denying or affirming that is an innovation according to Islam. End quote. - Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa (5/434). (Need to verify quote) I propose - They, Khulab/Asharis should be nuetral like Ibn Tamiyyah and say we don't say about Allah what isn't revealed & we don't know and affirm what Allah says, following Quran 7 :33 or they open endless shirk & division! ~~~ Direct Evidence Allah is above His Arsh in the Farewell Sermon, Abu Bakr, Abu Hanifa etc. 1. ... I have left among you the Book of Allah, and if you hold fast to it, you would never go astray. And you would be asked about me (on the Day of Resurrection), what would you say? They (the audience) said: We will bear witness that you have conveyed (the message), discharged (the ministry of Prophethood) and given wise (sincere) counsel. He (the narrator Jafar bin Muhammad) said: **He (the Blessed Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him) then raised his forefinger towards the sky and pointing it at the people (said):" O Allah, be witness. 0 Allah, be witness," saying it thrice.** (Bilal then) pronounced Adhan and later... source : Sahih Muslim 1218 a - book of hajj/pilgrimage. 2. Aqida Tahawiya on Allah above the Throne (الْعَرْشُ وَالْكُرْسِيُّ ) وَالْعَرْشُ وَالْكُرْسِيُّ حَقٌّ - The Throne (al-‘arsh) and the Footstool (al-kursī) are true. وَهُوَ مُسْتَغْنٍ عَنِ الْعَرْشِ وَمَا دُونَهُ - He is independent of the Throne and whatever is beneath it. مُحِيطٌ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَفَوْقَهُ وَقَدْ أَعْجَزَ عَنِ الْإِحَاطَةِ خَلْقَهُ - He encompasses all things and He is above it, and what He has created is incapable of encompassing Him. Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings on him said I am the most blessed salaf for you - Sahihayn! Salafi Dawa is the path to the Sunna, Quran 9 :100... (Manhaj of Sahabas, 4 mathhabs, etc.)

In my opinion, close your eyes and follow one of the four MADHABS (Hanafi, Shaafi'i, Hanbali and Maaliki). Because the great scholars and narrators who have been born in the past, there are no scholars of that rank today. If we reconsider their knowledge, we will get nothing but tribulations, because the insight they had about the hadith is unparalleled today. Those scholars are like lamps in the darkness. If we put out these lamps, we will fall into the darkness.

[@falsesectslikeshiaarejudeo6543]

When bida Imams agree w/ Salafis its on texts, & they disagree opposing Quran & Sunna! Ghazali admits a difference w/ Tawhid Rububiya/Lord (Allah's Actions) & Ulluhiya/God (our actions for Allah) citing Quran 31 :25, but his error on Isitwa is akin Firaun's in Quran 28 :38! A) Quran 31 : 25 - And if you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) ask them: "Who has created the heavens and the earth," they will certainly say: "Allah." (Allah's Lordship or Rubbubiya are related to His actions - my addition) Say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah!" But most of them know not. (Allah's Ulluhiya or Godhood is related to our actions/ revealed worship - my addition) He himself even says : "The prophets - peace and blessings be upon them - were, therefore, sent in order to call the creation to the Oneness, that they may say, “There is no god (to be worshiped - my addition) except Allah.” They were not, however, commanded to say, “We have a god and the world has a god (should say Lord - my addition),” because such a thing is inborn in their minds from the time of their birth and in the midst of their youth." Summary : Lord = Creator, God = One served! B) When Gazali errors on Istiwa (principle viii) He sites, Qur'an 41 : 11 - Then He rose (Istawa) towards the heaven when it was smoke, ... - the word "towards / ila" & "over / a'ala" isn't the same. He says "This is only through dominion and power" and in denying the actual Istiwa he imitated the error of the Firaun. Qur'an 40 : 37 - "The ways of the heavens, and I may look upon the Ilah (God) of Musa (Moses): But verily, I think him to be a liar." ... C) Ghazaali even contradicts Mutazali/ Asharites on Ruya ( as does Abu Hanifa in his work Fiqhul Akbar): "Would that I knew how the Mu’tazilites knew the attributes of Allah that Moses himself did not know; or how Moses asked to see Allah when seeing Him was impossible!" (as does Abu Hanifa) Again when Imam's who error agree with the Salafis its based on evidence and when they disagree, they disagree with Quran and Sunnah... As he himself states in principle ix : " Ignorance is more likely to be rampant among heretics and sectarians than among the prophets" ( peace & blessings be upon them). How to use internal dawa, show the superiority of your salaf and then show its the origin and then show why their dawa is unhealthy.... if we don't use our dawa as basis and just use internal dawa without basis to the point we replace our own which is why studying Aqida Manhaj is important, we end up like mutazliahs valuing man made ignorance over din , may Also show inferiority complex, and man made ideas create blind division.

[@falsesectslikeshiaarejudeo6543]

We call Asharis back to correct way shahada, giving Allah his High description and following the sunnah & stable foundation which even Ashari repented, & which lead to secular colonization & away from their arrogant to the salaf from just like we call the christians back to follow the true Message of Jesus... Quran 16 : 60 & 64 - For those who believe not in the Hereafter is an evil description, & for Allah is the highest description. & He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. 64 . - And We have not sent down the Book (the Qur'an) to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), except that you may explain clearly unto them those things in which they differ, and (as) a guidance and a mercy for a folk who believe. We are to speak truthfully & only speak of the ghaib with texts : Quran 6 : 50 - Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "I don't tell you that with me are the treasures of Allah, nor (that) I know the Unseen; nor I tell you that I am an angel. I but follow what is revealed to me." Say: "Are the blind and the one who sees equal? Will you not then take thought?" ~~~ None of Khulab/ Asharis have an isnad for their view, while all Atharis are people of hadith & Isnad, and this includes repentance of Imam Ashari too: 1) Fiqhul Akbar by Abu Hanifah, Point 4 : He has a hand, a face, and a self (nafs); the mention that God most High has made of these in the Qur’an has the sense that these are among His attributes, and no question can be raised concerning their modality (bila kayf). It cannot be said that His hand represents His power of His bestowal of bounty, because such an interpretation would require a negation of an attribute. This is the path taken by the Qadarites and the Mu’tazilites. Rather, His hand is an attribute, of unknowable modality, in the same way that His anger and pleasure are two attributes of unknowable modality God Most High created things out of nothing, and He had knowledge of them in pre-eternity, before their creation. 2) lmaam Ahmad (d. 241 ] said, “These ahaadeeth should he left as they are ... ‘We affirm them and we do not make any similitude for them. This is what has been agreed upon by the scholars.” - 136 Reported by Ibn al-Jawzee in Manaaqib lmaam Ahmad, pp. 155-156 3) Abul-Hasan al-Ash’aree (d. 324H) said, “If it is said, ‘Why do you deny that His saying: “Do they not see that We have created for them what Our Own Hands have created.” 164 And His saying: “Whom I have created with My Own (Two) Hands.” - 165 are rnajaaz (metaphorical)?’ To him it is said, ‘ The ruling concerning the Speech of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, is that it is taken upon its dhaahir (apparent) and haqeeqah (real) meaning. Nothing is removed from its dhaahir (apparent) meaning to majaaz (a metaphorical) one, except with a proof ... It is obligatory to affirm two Hands for Allaah, the Most High, in its haqeeqah (real) meaning, not with the meaning of ni’matayn (two bounties of Allaah).” - 168 Al-Ibaanah ‘an Usoolid-Diyaanah, p. 133. ~~~ Salafis don't say Attributes of Allah mean an appendage of limb/body... Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: It is well-known that there is no report from any of the Prophets or from the Sahaabah or from the Taabi‘een or from any of the early generations of the ummah to suggest that Allah is a physical entity or that He is not a physical entity. Rather denying or affirming that is an innovation according to Islam. End quote. - Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa (5/434). (Need to verify quote) I propose - They, Khulab/Asharis should be nuetral like Ibn Tamiyyah and say we don't say about Allah what isn't revealed & we don't know and affirm what Allah says, following Quran 7 :33 or they open endless shirk & division! ~~~ Direct Evidence Allah is above His Arsh in the Farewell Sermon, Abu Bakr, Abu Hanifa etc. 1. ... I have left among you the Book of Allah, and if you hold fast to it, you would never go astray. And you would be asked about me (on the Day of Resurrection), what would you say? They (the audience) said: We will bear witness that you have conveyed (the message), discharged (the ministry of Prophethood) and given wise (sincere) counsel. He (the narrator Jafar bin Muhammad) said: **He (the Blessed Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him) then raised his forefinger towards the sky and pointing it at the people (said):" O Allah, be witness. 0 Allah, be witness," saying it thrice.** (Bilal then) pronounced Adhan and later... source : Sahih Muslim 1218 a - book of hajj/pilgrimage. 2. Aqida Tahawiya on Allah above the Throne (الْعَرْشُ وَالْكُرْسِيُّ ) وَالْعَرْشُ وَالْكُرْسِيُّ حَقٌّ - The Throne (al-‘arsh) and the Footstool (al-kursī) are true. وَهُوَ مُسْتَغْنٍ عَنِ الْعَرْشِ وَمَا دُونَهُ - He is independent of the Throne and whatever is beneath it. مُحِيطٌ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَفَوْقَهُ وَقَدْ أَعْجَزَ عَنِ الْإِحَاطَةِ خَلْقَهُ - He encompasses all things and He is above it, and what He has created is incapable of encompassing Him.

In regards to the Quran and Saheeh Ahadith in matters of fiqh, there’s also ijma, qiyas, and the use of daif Hadith (for imam Ahmad and Hanbalis, although Ibn Taymiyyah argues weak here means Hasan) . It’s not as simple as the Hadith is authentic as it could be abrogated or apply in a different context. The mujtahid imaams study the Quran and Sunnah and determine what’s abrogated what’s not, what’s general or what’s specific, what kind of qiyas applies or what’s the ijma regarding the issue and then he gives you the ruling. And yes there’s no taqleed in matters of Aqeedah. Overall pretty solid response.

Assalamu'alaykum wa rahmatullah Sheikh. Wallahi I love you for the Sake of Allah and have benefitted a lot from your content. I am an Instructor and I teach Islam myself, and have learned a lot from your videos. I do have one question regarding the issue you raised in this video, if you don't mind insha'Allah. During the incident of Israa and Mi'raj, Muhammad (S) travelled to the heavens. On the following ayaat, there is ikhtilaaf: quran.com/53/13-14 Ibn Abbas (R) had said that Muhammad (S) saw Allah SWT, whereas Aisha (R.A) says Muhammad (S) saw Angel Jibreel, not Allah. My question is isn't this an issue of itiqaad, and doesn't this show that Ibn Abbas (R) and Aisha (R.A) both made their own ijtihaad on an Aqeedah issue, even if it may be a Furoo' (branches) issue in Aqeedah? Thus, there can be ijtihaad done on Aqeedah (Furoo', not the Usool/Core), issues?

Brothers. It seems Muslims living in the west don’t have enough knowledge of the creed and beliefs of Muslims of Indian subcontinent . Majority of them, Deobandies included believe that the Prophet is alive in His grave , listens to supplications and we can supplicate to Allah through Him. This creed is called ‘hayati’ . They even forbid praying behind an ‘imam’ who does not believe so. Please read the authentic book of Deobandi creed titled ‘al-muhannad wal mufannad’ ……. The other believes of Muslims of Indian subcontinent are using the word ‘’ sadqah and Tufail of Rasool e Akram while supplicating, , believing that Allah is every where‘ , visiting the graves of saints for seeking blessings and barakat and the belief that just uttering the article of faith without understanding makes a person Muslim and the ‘level of one’s iman ‘ does not increase or decrease.

Similarities between Hinduism and Islam So the major difference between the Hindu and the Muslims is, the common Hindu says that everything is God, we Muslim say everything is God’s. ‘G’ ‘O’ ‘D’ with an apostrophe ‘S’. The major difference is the apostrophe ‘s’. If we can solve this difference of apostrophe ‘S’, the Hindus and the Muslims will be united. How would do you do it? As the Qur’an says, “Ta`alaw 'Ilá Kalimatin Sawa'in Baynana Wa Baynakum” “Come to common terms as between us and you” Which is the first term? “Alla Na`buda 'Illallah” “That we believe in only One Almighty God” Let us try and understand what the Hindu scriptures have to speak about Almighty God. It is mentioned in the Chandogya Upanishad, Chapter No. 6, Section No. 2, Verse No. 1, it says, “Ekam Evadvitiyam” It’s a Sanskrit quotation which means, “God is only one without a second.” It is mentioned in the Shvetashvatara Upanishad, Chapter No. 6, Verse No. 9, “Na casya Kascij janita na Cadhipah.” “Of Him there are no parents, he has got no lords, Almighty God has got no mother, he has got no father, he has got no master, he has got no superior” It’s mentioned in the Shvetashvatara Upanishad, Chapter No. 4, Verse No. 19, “Na Tasya Pratima Asti” “Of Him there is no likeness” It’s further mentioned in the Shvetashvatara Upanishad, Chapter No. 4, Verse No. 20, that “His form cannot be seen. No one can see Him with their eyes.” Amongst all the Hindu scriptures the most widely read and the most popular is the Bhagavad Gita. It’s mentioned in Bhagavad Gita Chapter No. 7, Verse No. 20, “All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship demi Gods.” Which means all materialistic people, they worship demi gods, that is the false gods besides the one true Almighty God. It’s further mentioned in Bhagavad Gita Chapter No. 10, Verse No. 3, that “He who knows me as the unborn, the beginning less, the supreme Lord of all the worlds.” Amongst the Hindu scriptures, the most sacred are the Vedas. It’s mentioned in the Yajurveda Chapter No. 32, Verse No. 3, “Na Tasya Pratima Asti” “Of Him there are no images.” Almighty God has got no images, and it further says that he’s unborn, he alone only should be worshipped. It’s mentioned in Yajurveda, Chapter No. 40, Verse No. 8, that “Almighty God is imageless and pure.” It’s mentioned in Yajurveda Chapter No. 40 Verse No. 9, “Andhatma Pravishanti ya Aasambhuti mupaste.” ‘Andhatma’ means darkness. ‘Pravishanti’ means entering and ‘Asambhuti’ means the natural things like fire, water, air. It means, “They are entering darkness those who worship the natural things like fire, water, air and the verse continues, they are entering more in darkness those who worship the created things” Like table, chair, idols etc. Who says that? Yajurveda Chapter No. 40 Verse No. 9. It’s further mentioned in the Atharvaveda, Book No. 20, Hymn No. 58, Verse No. 3, “Dev maha Asi” “Verily great is Almighty God.” And amongst the Hindu scriptures, the most sacred are the Rigveda. It’s mentioned in the Rigveda, Book No. 1, Hymn No. 164, Verse No. 46, the Shlokas which were recited by the respected Pandits, it says, “Ekkam sad vipra bhudha vidante” “Ekkam sad vipra bhudha vidante” Which means, “Truth is one, God is one, sages call him by various names.” And the same message is repeated in Rigveda, Book No. 10, Hymn No. 114, Verse No. 5, that God is one but sages call him by a variety of names.” And in Rigveda alone, in Book No. 2 Hymn No. 1 there are no less than 33 different attributes given to Almighty God, many of which were recited by the respected Pandits. One amongst them in Rigveda, Book No. 2, Hymn No. 1, Verse No. 3 is Brahamma. Brahamma is called the creator. If you translate into Arabic, it means Khaliq. We Muslims have got no objection if someone calls Almighty God as Khaliq or the Creator, but if someone says the creator is Almighty God who has got four heads and on each head is a crown, we Muslims take strong exception to it. More over, you are going against Shvetashvatara Upanishad Chapter No. 4 Verse No. 19 which says, “Na Tasya Pratima Asti” “Of Him there is no likeness” Another attribute given in Rigveda, Book No. 2, Hymn No. 1, Verse No. 3 is ‘Vishnu’. Vishnu is called the Sustainer, the cherisher. If you translate into Arabic, it is somewhat similar to Rabb. We Muslims have got no objection if someone says Almighty God is Rabb or Sustainer or Cherisher. But if someone says Sustainer, he’s Almighty God who has got four hands, one of his right hand is the Disc, the Chakra, the other hand he has the conch, he’s traveling on the bird by the name of Garuda or reclining on couch of snakes, we Muslims take strong objection to it. Moreover you are going against the Yajurveda, Chapter No. 32, Verse No. 3 which says, “Na Tasya Pratima Asti” “Of Him there are no images” If you read Rigveda, all these descriptions are not given, the attributes are given that Almighty God is creator, he’s sustainer, he’s cherisher. We have no objection with attribute, but these images are not given because it is mentioned in the Veda’s that Almighty God has got no images. It’s further mentioned in Rigveda, Book No. 8, Hymn No. 1, Verse No. 1, “Ma Chidanyadvi Sansad” “Ma Chidanyadvi Sansad” Which means, “Do not worship anyone except the one God.” It’s mentioned in Rigveda, Book No. 6, Hymn No. 45, Verse No. 16, “Ya Ekit Mushtihi” “Praise him alone, the one true God” And the Brahma Sutra of the Vedanta is “Ekam Brahm, dvitiya naste neh na naste kinchan” Which means, “Bhagwan ek hi hai doosra nahi hai, nahi hai, nahi hai, zara bhi nahi hai.” You will find Messages on my facebook page facebook.com/CureforIslamophobia To see Debate between - Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar vs Dr Zakir Naik concept of God in Hinduism and Islam according to scripture Part1 facebook.com/CureforIslamophobia/videos/4745927988781088 Part2 facebook.com/CureforIslamophobia/videos/4741366045903949

The Qur’an identifies the ruler of Egypt as “Pharaoh” sixty-five times, but only in the story of Moses (peace be upon him). Not a single time is Egypt’s earlier king during the time of Joseph (peace be upon him), called a “Pharaoh” in the Qur’an. This differs from the Old Testament which uses the label for both of these rulers (see: Genesis 40:7, 41:15/31/46, 50:7), though it has since been established that the term “Pharaoh” was first coined during the reign of Thutmose III (d. 1436 BC), the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt.[16] Historians have further discovered that during the era of Joseph, the 15th to 17th dynasties of Egypt were an invading force from Palestine, and hence they were called the Hyksos (literally: foreign kings). Since “Pharaoh” meant “great house” or “elite bloodline,” and since the Hyksos were occupiers and not indigenous rulers, they were naturally ineligible for the honorific title-had it even existed.[17] Dr. Bucaille writes, I must confess that when the Qur’an was first being conveyed to people, the ancient Egyptian language had vanished from the collective memory of humanity for over two centuries, and remained that way until the nineteenth century. Therefore, it was impossible for us to know that the king of Egypt should be called anything other than the title mentioned in the Holy Bible. The subtle word choice of the Qur’an on this matter is thought-provoking.[18] The historical accuracy of the Qur’an is not just confirmed by recent archeological excavation; it astonished many early Jews and Christians just the same. The fact that Muhammad ﷺ could simply speak of personalities across different cultures like Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Jesus, Dhū al-Qarnayn, and others, with such detail was inexplicable. Similarly, the fact that he ﷺ could extensively illustrate scenes from the hereafter just as their earlier scriptures did was unbelievable for them, as Allah said, “Over it (Hellfire) are nineteen. And We have not made the keepers of the Hellfire but angels, and We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve (i.e., will they mock nineteen as few?), and so that those who were given the Scripture [prior] would be certain...” (74:31). Some Jews in Madīnah conceded that Muhammad ﷺ was, in fact, a true prophet, then resisted his message under the indefensible claim that it only applied to the Arabs. This was due to their inability to contest its divine origin, for they knew there was no access to any semblance of this history in the Arabic language whatsoever. As Allah says, “That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you, [O Muhammad]. You knew it not, neither you nor your people, before this” (11:49). Some of the toughest critics of the Qur’an today, like William Tisdall, confirm this: “There seems to be no satisfactory proof that an Arabic version of the New Testament existed in Muhammad’s time.”[19] In a similar vein, Pope Tawadrus II of Alexandria writes, “The first Arabic translation surfaced towards the end of the eighth Gregorian century and more than one hundred years after Islam. It was done by Bishop John of Seville in Spain. It was a partial translation that did not include the entire book, and was insufficiently circulated.”[20] As for the Torah, there is near consensus among Orientalist scholars that even incomplete translations of the Old Testament into Arabic did not exist until the 10th century.[21] Some detractors of Islam argue that none of this history is remarkable, let alone miraculous. They claim Muhammad ﷺ either learned these accounts directly from the mouths of his contemporaries or that he plagiarized them from manuscripts of the Bible that have since been lost. The accusation of being spoon-fed by others existed during the Prophet’s ﷺ life, but it quickly disappeared, and until today most serious Qur’an critics avoid citing such a ludicrous proposition because it risks their being perceived as desperate. First of all, this would be contrary to the historically indisputable integrity of Muhammad’s character. Secondly, the suggestions that Muhammad’s ﷺ knowledge of previous prophets and nations came from a Roman blacksmith in Mecca (a layman), or from a passing midday encounter with Baḥīrah the Monk, or to a single conversation with a dying Waraqah ibn Nawfal, are simply implausible. Sensible people realize that the bulk and veracity of what the Prophet ﷺ brought could only be attained with decades of apprenticeship that would be impossible for him to hide. “Say, ‘If Allah had willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have made it known to you, for I had remained among you a lifetime before it. Then will you not reason?’” (10:16). As for the second accusation, that of plagiarism from the texts of Judeo-Christian scholars, only someone with a strong confirmation bias would consider this possibility, for two major reasons: As shown earlier, the Qur’an escapes the Bible’s minefield of historical inaccuracies unscathed. Therefore, in order for the unique Qur’anic narrative to be plagiarized from an earlier scripture, this would necessitate that the Prophet ﷺ somehow had access to the accurate version from the thousands of variant manuscripts. Moreover, this version would have existed only in 7th-century Arabia of all places, in a foreign language Muhammad ﷺ secretly learned, then vanished without a trace, never to be recovered again. Even if this bizarre hypothetical were true, it only accounts for the source of this incredible precision and ignores the miraculous nature of the end-product. The Qur’an responds to this notion, asserting, “And We certainly know that they say, ‘It is only a human being who teaches him [the Prophet].’ The tongue of the one they refer to is foreign, and this Qur’an is [in] a clear Arabic language” (16:103

The Prophecies of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: Proofs of Prophethood “Say, [O Muhammad], ‘I do not tell you that I have the depositories [containing the provision] of Allah nor that I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel. I only follow what is revealed to me.’” [al-An‘ām 6: 50] Amidst the fiercest persecution and abuse that the Muslims faced in the earliest Meccan period, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ would stand without wavering and convey to his followers God’s promise of Islam spreading all over the world. Tamīm ad-Dāri (rA) reports that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “This matter will certainly reach every place touched by the night and day. Allah will not leave a house of mud or [even] fur except that Allah will cause this religion to enter it, by which the honorable will be honored and the disgraceful will be disgraced. Allah will honor the honorable with Islam and he will disgrace the disgraceful with unbelief.”[3] In another narration, reported by Thawbān (rA), “Indeed, Allah gathered up the earth for me so that I saw its east and its west; and indeed the dominion of my nation will reach what was gathered up for me from it.”[4] The fact that these predictions were made at a time when Muslims were a powerless handful, and Islam was expected to be buried in its cradle, is nothing short of miraculous. At that point, presuming that the faith would even survive would be considered by most nothing short of a pipe-dream. But to predict that Islam would not just survive, but grow to thrive globally, was at that point inconceivable. For us nowadays, witnessing a quarter of this planet’s population as subscribers to Islam makes it clear that this was no presumption, but instead another prophecy inspired by the Divine. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ foretold a multitude of Muslim conquests, including those of Rome, Persia, Egypt, Yemen, India, and Constantinople. None of these prophecies were described vaguely or with equivocation, but rather with an air of absolute certainty. Jābir b. ‘Abdillāh (rA) reports that while digging the trench outside Madinah to repel an approaching army, a massive boulder obstructed them that no ax would break. With time running out, and with people’s fears and hunger eating away at them, the Prophet ﷺ walked over and picked up the ax. He said, “Bismillah (In God’s name),” and hammered the boulder, reducing a chunk of it to rubble. He said, “Allāhu Akbar (God is Great)! I have been given the keys to Shām; I can see its red palaces at this very moment.” Then he shattered another chunk and said, “Allāhu Akbar (God is Great)! I have been given the keys to Persia; I can see Madain’s white palace.” Then he shattered the last chunk and said, “Allāhu Akbar (God is Great)! I have been given the keys to Yemen. By Allah, I can see the Gates of Sana‘a at this very moment from here.”[10] Regarding Egypt, he ﷺ took its conquest for granted, knowing his Lord’s promise was true. Abu Dharr (rA) narrated: The Prophet ﷺ said: “You will certainly conquer Egypt; a land in which [a currency] called al-qīrâṭ is customary. When you conquer it, be gracious to its people, for they are entitled to a covenant and [the right of] family bonds. And when you see two men disputing over the place of a brick, then leave [Egypt].”[11] The Prophet ﷺ accurately spoke in the second person here, foretelling that none other than his personal Companions would conquer Egypt. Then he ﷺ instructed them to honor their peace treaty with the Egyptians and reminded them that their grandmother (Hājar; the mother of Ishmael) was from this land. In this same narration, Abu Dharr (rA) adds, “I witnessed ‘Abdur-Raḥmān b. Shuraḥbīl b. Ḥasana and his brother, Rabī‘a, disputing [in Egypt] over the place of a brick, so I left.” Regarding Constantinople, which is presently called Istanbul, the Prophet ﷺ determined that it would become a Muslim land nearly a millennium prior to that happening. ‘Abdullāh b. ‘Amr (rA) reports that they were once sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and writing, he ﷺ was asked, “Which city will be liberated first; Constantinople or Rome?” He said, “Indeed, the city of Heraclius will be liberated first,”[12] meaning Constantinople. An entire 800 years later, the Ottoman sultan, Muhammad al-Fātiḥ, accomplished this great feat. In another hadith, “Constantinople will certainly be liberated, and how excellent a leader will its leader be, and how excellent an army that army will be.”[13] Some scholars hold that this second hadith may refer to a second liberation of Constantinople which was also prophesied, but has not yet taken place. Regarding how material prosperity will be a sign of the end-times, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “And if you see the barefoot, naked, shepherds of camels competing [for praise] in the construction of high-rise buildings, then this is from among the signs [of the Hour].”[46] In a similar hadith about this egotism infesting the mosque atmosphere, he ﷺ said, “The Hour will not commence before people boast of their mosques.” Ibn ‘Abbās (rA), the narrator, added, “You will ornament your mosques just as the Jews and Christians did with their temples.”[47] This intense competition will involve exploitation of others, and thus we find parallel prophecies of hedonism and exploitation in the prophetic tradition as well. In the hadith of Miswar b. Makhrama (rA): “By Allah I do not fear poverty overtaking you, but I fear that you will have abundant wealth at your disposal as it became at the disposal of the nations before you, causing you to compete in it as they competed in it, and then it destroys you as it destroyed them.”[
