True Monotheism in a confused world – YouTube Dictation Transcript & Vocabulary

1.[Music] Yi see refuge in God from the cursed Satan and in the name of God the merciful the intensely merciful I welcome you again to another episode of the new Islam and I welcome brother man the my co-host God bless you Salam alaykum Salam alaykum brother it's great to be back on with you great to have you back uh so yes uh as brothers and sisters you've been following along if you have been following along uh then welcome once again and if you haven't welcome to the uh show we have the our the title of the show is the new Islam for a specific reason we know that it is very controversial as a title but it's true uh Islam as the prophet sallallahu alai said it is it starts strange and it will return strange it started strange and it will return strange that and and so congratulations to the strangers on top of that the from the missp said that the when he comes he will establish Islam a new and he will remove or demolish all of that which was before it because again that's what the prophets and The Messengers do when they come that's when that's what m do that's what people who are from the Divine after corruption has hid the land they do they wipe and they start new and uh so we've been talking about like the different episodes of Abad the topics that Abu sadik is talking about and we're expanding on what he's pointing us too and it's like really has been an amazing journey but I think one thing that we have to kind of go back to a little bit just so we can refresh in the minds of the people what we're talking about here is the concept of God and monotheism exactly because like we offer practical Solutions right to to say for example the Palestinian Palestinian Israeli War AB sadik has offered a very practical True World on ground solution for that problem Abad from pce also offered a very practical solution to the to the refugee problem and he's also shown a very practical example between Islam and Christianity in the latest episode for example exactly and yeah so what we would like to do is on this show is get into a bit more about the Divine knowledge that abam is bringing um it is one of the things that is a proof of who he is he brings Divine knowledge he is the companion of the will and he raised the banner of allegian is to God so we will be delving into a bit more of that Divine knowledge that is only evident in somebody who is appointed by God and specifically for today's episode we'll be getting into the uh concept of monotheism because it's something that's Central to all of the abrahamic faiths the concept of one God and not associating any partners with that God and it's motivating politics of the world today exactly it is literally moving Worlds Apart it's like for example you have country like Iran countries like Saudi Arabia countries like Iraq they have they are and and the Middle East in general altogether they have been affected 100% by uh by the concept of monotheism between the difference between concepts of monotheism between Christianity Islam and uh Judaism so I think it is a very important topic because all of these religions they claim to be monotheistic religions and yet they have different understanding of what monotheism is so is going to explain it as we know and we expect he's going to merge all of uh the uh bits and Bobs of truths that they all have and will show us the full picture that is complete and actually makes sense exactly because when you take a look at specifically Islam and Judaism specifically Islam it is built on the principle of there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger and the sin of associating partners with is a sin that is unforgivable you can be a murderer a fornicator anything but the only sin that God does not forgive is the sin of associating partners with him and when you look at the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaih when he came that was one of his missions he went into the cabba to destroy all of the false idols and the multiple gods that people were bringing when you look at Abraham wasam when he came he was going against the idea of the multiple gods of nimrod and his uh ancestors yeah so it is definitely a core principle when you look at all of these religions and it's very very fascinating uh when you truly look at the holy text that these religions bring because there's some gems in there that we are going to get into yes exactly so let's get started uh real quick we have uh we take mind you keep in mind that monotheism in Judaism is something that's very essential and it's a part of The Commandments of Moses Alat wasam also in the Ten Commandments for example Thou shalt not worship or love any other gu besides the Lord you know besides him and then you have also uh in Christianity it's the it's a it's a main core because the only difference is that Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the god exactly so he was the god of the ultimate Old Testament you know he was himself that God you know so but returned in a human but you know taken a flesh this time exactly um so then then so let's take it into a consideration what is the word God that has been repeated for over 2,000 times in the in the in the you can say for example in the Bible exactly it's yeah yeah Elohim is the word that's actually mentioned yes exactly and if you look up the definition of the word Elohim it actually means gods or godhood yes so just by that definition there you can see that there are multiple entities that have this godhood to them and have this ability to have some aspects of God in them and when you look at the books of the Christians in I believe it is Genesis Elohim is used as the first name of God actually and then also there are many other you know examples and when you look in Christianity you see that it says let us create let us create man in our image the word us when you look in Islam there are obviously numerous examples in there uh for example you have in Surah hij where it says indeed it is we that sent down the Quran yes there are numerous numerous examples of this in all of the Holy text and it's absolutely absolutely and there's so many of them in fact it's like you can actually do a quick check and you'll see almost more than 20 verses of the Quran that says the word we M you know and we and we and we as we have created you you know so we are you know Allah subhana he says many times um you know so it's it's in plural in plural form Allah subhana uses many times and we did this to you guys and we took you out of the you know Egypt and we this and that so the idea is that what the Muslims General masses would tell you is like in the scholars basically they would tell you is this is that the word we is um is similar by the way even in Christianity and in Judaism they'll tell you it's it's just a honorific mhm it's just like a royal honic kind of like a we you know when when you talk about yourself in third party kind of like in third party because you're holy or something like that soly but that's like if that if that's actually why would God want to do that to us you know like can confuse Us in this term you know exactly that that that we we should be doing it not him doing it to himself to so that we can actually like not be confused by by this the scenario so then you'll have people who think hey we what does that mean and hey is not is Oneness not not not one the number you know so then people will start to get confused if that's the case we cannot believe that yeah and that's why you see a lot of people who actually end up becoming atheists is when they read these books they come to the conclusion that it's just confusing it says we yet these religions claim to be monotheistic but in their books is full of the plurality of God and showing that God is more than one so we kind of we have to get to the bottom of what does this really mean the plurality of God and this Essence we in all of these holy books there is definitely a deeper meaning um behind all of this exactly and it connects connects us directly to the next part which is basically IL is Elohim right Elohim is plural for Gods uh is plural for God which is Gods but then literal translation would be children of Il like Elohim is like the children of eel right Eli Eli El Lord Lord why did you forsake me so ill is kind of like Lord or God yes itself and the origin and and for example you find uh Angels archangels which end their names with il so jbra gabri right exactly Mikel you know Michael you know Rafael right exactly there is ill at the end of that word which means that they are a part of that that's that kind of group right like a group of the children of ill exactly which is very interesting when he said that I was like really amazed cuz yes you can notice it we we say it by the way in Islam we say it so easy we say it so much so many times JRA J we we don't know anything about it as a name exactly honestly the scholars don't talk about this stuff at all and they keep us in the in the dark what is jbra why does he have an e why do all the Angels end with e exactly why are these angels ending with E I want to know you know this is a knowledge from my God and and I need to know it so I can know what my God creates and what he does and these are people these are beings that actually have such con connection to us personally I mean Gabriel is is the is the reason why we're Muslims exactly right we have the received the message from him and we don't what do we know about him you know where where's his origin so I think that is something very important as explained you know jbra is from jabarut which is the might of God right so the might of God Jabar jabarut ill of God the might of ill exactly you know so yeah when when you look at all of this evidence from all of the Holy texts it is impossible for you to say that in essence there is only one God now when I say that a lot of people are going to possibly take that out of context um but what we truly mean is that there are multiple gods that are not equal to the Supreme God himself it's evident in all of these books there are existence of Spiritual Beings that have Divine Authority but they are not the ultimate Creator himself now one of the examples that you can look at in the Holy Quran is during the creation of Adam Alat wasam when God blew the spirit into Adam he commanded all of the angels and Gins and all of creation to prostrate to Adam and we all know how the story goes El did not prostrate to Adam so God asked him what caused you not to prostrate is it because you're arrogant or are you one of the high ones yeah the high ones the high ones exactly now when you think about that these high ones they are Creations that did not have to prostrate to Adam so who are these creations of God who are above the command land of prostration to Adam so the that right there clearly shows that we have Creations that are above the command of Allah and don't actually have to prostrate when every other creation has to this is very very clear in the Quran so it leaves us to question who are these individuals who are above the command of of God yeah that's the only thing that we can do at this point is question and think who are these uh individuals who are above the uh the command of God yeah exactly and and I think that's one one more one more connection to that would be uh like okay so for example when you connect that to Hindu to to Judaism you'll find for example the name Yahweh comes into scene as well as God right like and so when you look into Yahweh for example as a god you'll find also historically speaking the origin of that because all of these religions again just a reminder they are claiming to be polytheistic in like monotheistic in origin but right now it's almost like we're we're discovering history that actually said suggests that they were poly polytheistic in origin you know not monotheistic in origin because Yahweh actually uh as a name of God historically speaking or archaeologically speaking there are multiple manuscripts out there that talks about uh how Yahweh had a wife had a physical wife like had had a wife and they they you know they had started the whole situation so and his wife was ashir that's at least you know like the name that is mentioned in these texts so when you look into that then and you start to find like all the these different kind of proofs for that which which they exist online if you can actually check for yourself you will be able to check it out very easily it's not that uh complicated to find actually um but yes you can you can do that research on your own inshallah subh you'll find out what it is then then what happens is this is that then you can make the connection you go like all right so if these are all uh religions of of God and the God is one then why do we have such a history of the origin of these uh of these religions having two one male one female or like a wife and Yahweh and his wife ill ill is also something in the name of a a male you can also say so it's it's very strange you know like very strange it it shows that there are other Divine characters that are not the ultimate God but have some type of godhood within them now it's also interesting when you think about this because even the prophet Muhammad sahu alai you know he's somebody obviously that came with the idea of monotheism there's no God but Allah but he actually one of his companions came and asked one of the imams for a Dua right a prayer that or a supplication that they can make to God yes and yes yeah yeah yeah and you know what like just before we get into that the quranic verse about the did you get become are you arrogant have you become arrogant or are you of those who are high that was one of the verses that mind boggled me before because even before I knew what it what it meant because honestly obviously very obviously in Arabic very obviously Allah is asking Satan are you doing this are you not prostrating because you're arrogant like you think you're better or are you doing it because you are of the this group of people who are not just above the law they're just not even in your story exactly they're not they don't even belong to the human story in a way in that sense you know like they're not inside of you right now they're not inside of this Adam story right now Adam you have your own we created you now let's let's figure you out you know let's give you a a journey to go on don't do this don't do that don't approach the tree don't approach the tree that was his commandment don't approach the the tree and approach whatever you want else other than that then you have on top of that Satan was commanded to prostrate and he was told by God are you arrogant or are you of those exactly who are high the high ones the high ones that don't belong to this whole testing period or whatever it is that's going to happen right now ex and they're pretty much not even included in the story of mankind in a way exactly look at it it's a mystery it was a mystery that that's and it still is a mystery for the Muslims they will never be able to solve it without the and without actually pointing out what he just pointed out which is basically when you go to the supplication of the in the books of narrations of the family of Muhammad you find them so clearly saying it it is so clear they're saying that they say like oh Lord of lords oh King of Kings oh god of gods exactly so obviously anybody who is a Muslim or a scholar had to be mind-boggled when they read this right because if this is something that's coming from the they are basically saying that there are other Lords other than God there are other kings other than God and there are other gods other than God exactly which is that which is in monotheistic terms that's kind of like let's let's talk about it because what then do you mean by God what do you mean when you say the word god what do you mean what is the meaning of the word because you cannot just spot words without kind of like definitions for those words which can enable us to actually talk about the same page you know like imagine if I'm talking and my definition is Page a and you're talking in the same word is your definition is Page 20 and you're seeing page 20 and I'm seeing page page eight it's going to be a huge disaster between us we're never going to agree we're never going to even talk about the same thing to begin with so we have to first come to the same page and say Define what the word god means in ahed's book The monotheism he does that for us the majority of the Shia and the Sunni Scholars by the way he said it in the book he says know from in the beginning of the book he said and I can already hear some of those ignorant ones coming out and saying to us this is sh this is Haram this is polytheism this is this this and that and while at the same time when you come and talk to them and you ask them what is the difference between godhood and lordship they will not know how to answer you exactly like the majority of the people who call us mus right now or think we are committing sh they don't even know what the difference between godhood and lordship they cannot differentiate the two at all and then they accuse you of being polytheistic so uh that's exactly like so that's that's the idea that we're dealing with today but let's take one example one limiter in the conversation let's place that limiter is the limiter from volume 25 and chapter 10 you'll find it there in Hadith number 30 30 what does it say it says I was in the presence of abam one day and he said to me oh K oh make sure make for us a lord we turn to and say regarding us and say regarding us whatever you desire to so like first the limiter is has have a lord they have a lord they have a God and they return to that God they they not like they're not themselves Allah Almighty they have a God and they return to him and then they said say then about us whatever you want to say just say that we have a god exactly now say whatever you want to say say because in fact the narration says I said we should we should make a lord to be to be uh to be for you to be turning to and then we can say regarding you whatever we desire he sat upright and said and then said and it may be so that we have said what had come of our of our to you from us to you what came to you from our matter like as in what our secrets what came what revealed what we revealed of our secrets to you guys is but the letter Al if is but one letter exactly the letter it's like a letter Al if that is not connected to anything else so imagine like a in the AL it of the Arabic right when you want to write something you have to connect it to something else right in order to make sense out of a sentence or a word yes so it imagine that now you take just one letter from the alphabet and you just keep it by itself not connected to anything else it is a knowledge it is there is information but you don't even know what it means because you don't know what it's connected to so the knowledge of is almost similar to what Jesus said many things I have to say unto you but you cannot bear them now exactly and that's why the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him also mentioned that if he was to reveal the true reality of Ali he yeah he's afraid people would worship him as the ultimate God exactly that just shows right there that the people of that time did not have the mental capacity to actually handle this type of knowledge because think about it the prophet peace be upon them came to destroy their idols and what they were believing and tell them that there's only one supreme god and if he was to come and say that he is a God as well that would not have went well with the people of that time and that's why the matter of the clim is so important relating it back to today because he is the one that comes and reveals all of that knowledge in a time when people's minds are ready to actually accept it which is the day that we are in today exactly and I think that's really a huge part of it so when we're talking about the AL those who are high in the Quran for those who do not know or who just joined us right now we're talking about the quranic verse that says from Allah subh T is when Allah is talking to Satan he's telling him hey did you when he commanded him to prostrate Adam he told him uh why didn't you prostrate are you arrogant or are you of those who are high so we're we're talking about who are those who are high who are those who are high according to the narrations of the they are actually those who are high you know like these are the people who are high and in fact in fact let's take one thing so that you can keep in mind again keep in mind that they do have a God you know as a limiter everything we're going to say they do have a God and they return to that God and there is an absolute Allah subhana tala now if you go to for for example you'll find an ation that says something very interesting so the the quranic verse there's a quranic verse that says woe to me because of how much I've wasted in the sides of Allah being besides Allah very strange narra quranic verse if you actually take it for pH value it's like oh woe to me for how much I have wasted in fulfillment of my duties for example from being besides God they interpret as being in the D exactly God is closer to us than a juggler vein so it's like he besides God but that's not besides he's inside of you it doesn't make sense linguistically speaking too but the Imam from him is peace said that the side of Allah is is the prince of the Believers the side of Allah is the prince of the Believers so how much time and how much duties they wasted being besides the prince of the Believers Theif the iMat on top of that you have another narration which says we are the authority of Allah we are the door of Allah we are the tongue of Allah we are the face of Allah we are the eyes of Allah and his people we are the authority in the Commandments of Allah amongst his servants now it's very interesting because like the Muslims have been fighting day and night for the past thousands of years about the face of Allah they say does Allah have a face or does he not have a face as in physical face Allah the absolute and you have the for example you have the the um the salais the Sala you say that he does have a face he does have a face he has a hands just not the same as ours but he has a face what kind of face he doesn't they don't know but it is a face it is a physical face that you can see that that's why in the end times there people they say in the Quran these people in the end times they' be looking at their lord they will be looking at their lord it says this is a gift that is gifted to the Believers yeah where they get to see the face of God you know so it's a very very common belief amongst the sunnis that you'll be able to see God in heaven exactly one of the best blessings that can actually have and everybody's like waiting for that moment to see what God looks like and on top of that now we have from the saying that we are the face of Allah so you would be facing what you're not facing God doesn't have a face the ultimate God the Supreme the ultimate Creator is beyond having features and characteristics of us humans because you there is nothing liken like likened unto him and yet you give me examples of his light and you give me examples of his face and you give me examples of this I mean you just told me there is nothing like in him so why are you giving me examples now every example you're going to give me is not going to be anywhere close resemblance because he doesn't have it everything you open your mouth now to give me an example of his light is not hit exactly so what are you what are you trying to achieve when you're telling me there is nothing like it don't him I'll tell you what we're trying to achieve with that is that Allah subhana is trying to achieve by telling you in the same way that you look at your mom and dad and they are higher beings than you in the sense you know when they were you were a baby you know and they were higher level beings he's trying to show you even a higher level being which is the those who are high he even said it he even said it those who are high and why would God pointed point out something so important for us in the Quran and just leave us without telling us what it means exactly and for anybody who's recently joining us we are not saying that the AL are the ultimate God we are not claiming that they are the the high King the ultimate one the haa we are not claiming that we are claiming that they are the high ones and they are individuals who reach that level of godhood per se and I know this sounds very very interesting to a lot of people but this is the whole purpose of creation this is the whole reason that we were created in order for us to be like God yeah now when you think about that concept of being like God right once you reach the ultimate level of generosity of mercy of um compassion then the only thing for you to do is to reach the ultimate level of creating and being a Creator as well so the ultimate purpose for us in this world is for us to elevate and become like God and the only exactly and you will be able to say be and it is and that's what he promised us exactly and that's the whole purpose of God saying that if my servant loves me and he obeys me and he is obedient to me then I will make him like me and the prophet Muhammad and his family are the closest to Allah during the night Journey the prophets reached the within a bow length of the ultimate Allah and he became Allah in creation therefore he became the God of this universe not the ultimate God not the ultimate haah but he became the God of this creation and that is the whole purpose of us being on this Earth today exactly reaching that level and what other better gift can God give you than to make you like him there's no other better gift than you being able to be the create the ultimate Creator the one that hears everything and sees everything within your own universe and that is the purpose that God is given to us as his creation that's the ultimate level that we are meant to reach is that level of being able to sense what it is like to be what it's what it's like to be like God yeah exactly and you find this by the way in the in the uh in the uh books of narrations as well where he says uh oh my servant I I say to the thing be and it becomes so obey me and I will make you say to the things be and they become oh my servant I am the living that who that does not die so obey me and I will make you a living that does not die and in another one it says Allah Allah subhana tala gives the the believer receives kind of like Treasures from Allah subhana you know from the the living that does not die to the living that does not die so it's like the the gift is that if you sacrifice for God if you give yourself to God and you do it the right way and you find your Imam and you give Allegiance and you go the whole way then ultimately the goal is to die as an ego and as a the greater Jihad right the greater Jihad is is is very interesting you know like the greater Jihad is very important yeah if you want um we could actually get into the video that we had that'll sum all this it'll sum it all up for you uh by the voice of the Kim himself and give you the true reality of what it means by the plurality of gods in the abrahamic fith so we'll go to that video now for you but when we go into the narrations of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad we find that there are actually some supplications for example in one narration somebody asked asks one of the imams to teach him a special supplication and he tells them to basically go into prostration and to say the following oh Lord of lords oh King of Kings oh god of gods and so then that opened up a gigantic discussion between the scholars and the followers of the religion of Islam for the centuries to come some Scholars would say if Muhammad and the family of Muhammad are saying to say that God is the Lord of lords then that wouldn't be an appropriate thing to say unless there actually were other Lords of other than Allah subhana wa ta'ala right there must be other kings other than Allah subhana wa ta'ala there must be other gods then other than Allah subh tal so now when we take what's written in the manuscript and we match it with everything else that we've spoken about it's all going together it's all clicking now like a puzzle that the pieces begin to come together yes you have this ultimate God yes you have have this father God that's above and the father God or the high King is the king of kings he's the Lord of lords he's the god of gods there are other Divine beings or Lords or Kings or gods that are Exempted from uh worshiping or submitting themselves to Adam and those ones are high ones they're high above the law they are the ien they are muhammmad and the family of Muhammad they are a group of beings that came in the very beginning that are Gods over creation but they're not the ultimate God and they still are created okay so now everything's beginning to click together and the plurality that existed in the Quran and in the Bible it's no longer an issue especially when we look at some other narrations that indicate and explain the plurality in the Quran when it says that verily we're the ones who bring down the remembrance verily we're the ones who do such and such as being a God and Muhammad in the family of Muhammad so now the entire thing makes sense and it clicks and Muhammad and the family of Muhammad have this title and the title is that of being gods wow but they're still not the ultimate God yes and this is the proposition of The Proposal that's kind of or the theory that's hidden beneath the the lines that exists that the thing that somebody has to really put on their eyeglasses and kind of contemplate over because you have these narrations that state that God says obey me he says to his servant my servant obey me and you'll be like me I say to a thing be and it is I'll make you say to a thing be and it shall be yeah another narration says that God says to his servant love me love me and I will make you like me and there's nothing like me perhaps what is meant in the narration I mean it's the only really apparent meaning to it is that God is saying love me obey me and I will make you like me if you obey me and love me enough and follow in my footsteps one day I will take you and I will give you your own universe and you will be the god of that Universe you will be like me you will say to a thing being it is now you have the Journey of the Seeker the student the disciple the believer the Shia going from one where he has to find his Lord recognize his Lord emulate his Lord be a good slave to his Lord all because his Lord wants to free him at some point and make him like him and Grant him as now an adult a fully developed spiritual being he will give him what he gave himself kingship authority lordship godhood over a particular Universe how intense was that absolutely intense and I hope that gives an idea to everybody who has read these holy scripts and have been confused by the whole idea of the US the we and the plurality of gods that's mentioned all over these holy books the truth behind the matter is that these individuals that are mentioned besides the ultimate God are other Spiritual Beings that have Divine Authority but they are not the ultimate God so hopefully this alleviates any confusion from anybody that reads these books and is questioning and asking why does God keep saying we or us or talking in the plural when he is mentioning himself exactly I think that's literally the hero's journey is to is to Journey from being basically random in being born under a random World in a random family that you didn't choose in a random place you don't choose you know like in random relig under a random religion you don't you don't choose and you wake up to this reality that there is so much corruption in the land and so much corruption in the religion so you'd have to search for the truth and you become and you get up and you start looking and searching and and finding and that's where you start to recognize your lord you try to recognize I what is the truth where is God who is God where is he and you that curiosity would lead you to finding out about the true religion of God and about the the Elohim or the or the family of the Prophet Muhammad the Holy Spirit uh the holy spirit that God has created in the beginning or you know so the ultimate structure of existence would be something very simple for us in the end it's like God the ab abolute beneath him there are Gods there Gods these are not him they take him as their lord right exactly and these beings are so high in stature with God their knowledge is so immense they are considered by God those who are high because everything else is beneath them exactly in rank exactly and their knowledge is impeccable I mean the's knowledge nobody can top it up in history like we have not seen anybody who can top up the knowledge of the comes to spirituality and God and all these different aspects and the fact that the matter is that like the are considered the people who are of those who are high because Allah subhana T also himself he they are the only ones who Allah purified them a complete Torah purification and they're the only ones who he said I'm going to protect them completely and they were born infallible according to history Islamic history so I think that's the the concept is very simple and I know within the last few uh minutes that we have together in this episode uh we wanted to hit home with that and say that uh we welcome you we welcome all the Seekers we welcome all those who are uh trying to find in a world that's full of chaos and Corruption and confusion we are telling you that there is a way out that Allah subhana wa ta'ala God uh the absolute God had not left us and he had sent us a messenger a messenger that can come actually today to save us to give us salvation true salvation not this fake following of sectarian divided religions that don't have any authority to begin with it is a man of God whose name is mentioned in the will who has knowledge and is raising the banner of allegiances to God alone that's what Jesus would do that's what Muhammad would do that's what the prophets and The Messengers would do from them is peace so in the end end of the episode I appreciate the thank you so much brother for your inputs and it's an amazing it's been an amazing uh episode absolutely and we look forward to having you join us tomorrow as we get into more of the Divine knowledge of the mahed who has appeared amazing thank you so much uh brothers and sisters for joining us in the today's episode inshallah we will see you in the next episode alaykum [Music]
