After three to seven years, Edward Gibbons even talks about this, that the Romans came back and defeated the Persians.
00:00:12.520
By the grace of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the response has been overwhelming to say.
00:00:17.620
The very least, alhamdulillah, we've had social media, personalities and respected scholars shudu from many parts of the Muslim world promoting the cause.
00:00:26.940
We have raised almost 1.4 million pounds, alhamdulillah, and we haven't been sitting ideally waiting to hit our target of 2 million.
00:00:35.800
We have fully purchased four properties in London, transferred their ownership to the Waqf.
00:00:43.660
After the help of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, none of this would be possible without your support.
00:00:51.380
We encourage you to stay tuned for more updates now that the work, alhamdulillah, is truly underway.
00:00:57.520
We've got thousands of years of history before it started.
00:01:00.660
But now, apparently, this is the right way because it was written by a communist.
00:01:15.880
Now, you're talking about the Prophet Muhammad's last and conquered.
00:01:25.020
Well, you noted the Arab tribes, which at the time were the Spartans, the Bedouin tribes that
00:01:31.440
And then the Eastern Roman Empire and the Persians had a massive war, were both depleted in terms
00:01:37.120
of manpower and motivation, and Prophet Muhammad took advantage of that situation and conquered
00:01:44.580
Persia and then took the Eastern parts of the East.
00:01:51.900
We know the Muslim, we know the Muslim when they conquered Persia.
00:02:00.260
In history, religion has been used as a way of maintaining public support.
00:02:12.200
You can say about Christianity who they did decide.
00:02:23.260
If you look at statistics, there's one poll done.
00:02:26.000
Islam is sixth in the most death that's been caused.
00:02:35.840
Reason being is a lot of people look at religion and look at what crusade has done.
00:02:42.480
Because number one, Islam believes in expansionism.
00:02:47.620
However, we do not believe in the expansionism the West has been doing,
00:02:50.680
imperial powers, and what Christianity has been doing, which is by the sword.
00:02:55.380
For example, wherever Islam has spread, if you look, for example,
00:02:59.460
if you look at, for example, England, you have the crown jewels.
00:03:02.700
You go to the British Museum, there are artifacts there that have been stolen
00:03:16.340
Do you find any things that have been stolen from the empire's Islam ruled
00:03:21.480
I think it's certainly the amount of wealth that would have been conquered from North Africa.
00:03:27.220
Mansu Musa was one of the richest men to walk this earth.
00:03:31.600
Yes, and wherever he went, the amount of gold that he gave.
00:03:34.240
So the thing is, in Islam, wherever they went, even when they went to Egypt,
00:03:37.240
when Muslims conquered Egypt, they didn't touch the statues and all that kind of stuff.
00:03:40.840
Islam did not go there to rob the people of their wealth.
00:03:43.440
Rather, they invested that money back into the people.
00:03:45.760
And in our Quran, it clearly says, there is no compulsion in religion.
00:03:50.520
So when Islam conquers lands, it is not allowed to force conversion of anybody.
00:03:58.140
When they would go, they would kill men, women, and children.
00:04:04.400
Amalekites is in the book of Samuel chapter 15, verse 23.
00:04:09.380
In Islam, we don't have a single passage, a single verse that gives us a direct commandment of war.
00:04:16.960
Christianity, in the old scripture, Jesus is the God of the Old Testament, has directly commanded,
00:04:22.920
That's why Israel today, alongside America and the Christian lobby that is supporting Israel,
00:04:30.320
Show me an Islamic empire that has gone into lands and slaughtered men, women, and children.
00:04:37.840
I understand you might not know, but crusaders have done that.
00:04:41.440
But please give me an example, because you're laughing.
00:04:44.360
I would like to know, please bring me evidence,
00:04:46.120
where Islam has said you can go and kill men, women, and children, and force them to Islam.
00:04:49.760
I don't know whether Islam has said it or not, but...
00:04:57.520
The genocide of the Greeks that lived on the Islamic empire.
00:04:59.860
There's a whole discussion about them and the Armenians.
00:05:01.580
There's a whole discussion if that happened or not.
00:05:04.260
There's a whole discussion if it happened or not.
00:05:10.720
According to you, according to you, there's all...
00:05:11.580
It's not whether it happened or not, it did happen.
00:05:29.300
You can separate it from religion, but the bottom line is...
00:05:53.220
Well, to be honest, to me, anyone that follows a specific way of life and believes that that
00:06:03.900
If your problem with the religion is that they are, you know, working a certain way and
00:06:08.100
they're conquering lands, imperialism has done that more than ever.
00:06:11.760
Mao Zedong is one of the people who have killed 70 million people.
00:06:16.080
World War I didn't start from Muslims or Christians.
00:06:18.220
World War II didn't start from Muslims or Christians.
00:06:19.940
So if you go with the argument, atheists were second in the line, actually, after Christianity
00:06:24.920
But I didn't even start talking about killing people.
00:06:29.300
I was talking about the structure of the church.
00:06:34.020
If you go back to the paganism in ancient Greece, when Alexander the Great conquered
00:06:38.400
Egypt, one of the problems was that the Egyptian gods were very old in comparison to the Greek gods.
00:06:44.320
And as a way of building public order and building a unified culture, Alexander the Great commissioned the creation of a new god called Serapis.
00:06:56.240
Now the idea of Serapis was to combine Osiris, which was the king of the gods in the Egyptian pantheon, and Zeus in the Greek pantheon.
00:07:04.500
And essentially went to the Egyptians and said, we're actually worshipping the same god, because Osiris and Zeus are the same person.
00:07:10.500
And they created temples to this guy called Serapis.
00:07:13.000
And the whole reason they did that is they manipulated it to control public order.
00:07:21.720
I promise you, I'll leave you back to whatever.
00:07:31.900
And then your argument of defence is a complete different structure of what he was talking about.
00:07:39.160
And again, I have no disrespect to either or religion, but he was talking about one thing.
00:07:46.740
Again, I'm not saying anything about Christianity.
00:07:50.160
Your defence of argument was on a whole different topic compared to what he was talking about.
00:07:59.380
And my friend here started talking about how many people each religion has killed.
00:08:05.560
What you brought up is a conversation of debate.
00:08:12.240
Because you were talking about Islam and the Prophet Muhammad and the pagan Arabs and conquest.
00:08:25.700
So, you said to me, what's the difference with Islam?
00:08:27.360
And I gave you the example that in Islam, you are not allowed to force people to Islam.
00:08:30.780
When it comes to the crown jewels and the artifacts.
00:08:34.360
If you go to a British museum, things that have been stolen by the lands that they conquered.
00:08:40.420
So, what I'm saying is Islam came to enrich those people.
00:08:44.320
Bringing up a conversation about the whole topic.
00:08:47.840
But ultimately, the problem I have with any kind of organized religion is that it's manipulated by man.
00:09:02.100
I can't not disingenuously accept the fact that something like the Quran and indeed the Bible...
00:09:14.020
...is not going off the beard of Quran and this...
00:09:15.460
Brothers, brothers, brothers, brothers, brothers.
00:09:24.020
Are we have evidence why it's not manipulated by men?
00:09:32.620
Not only that the Christians have made that themselves.
00:09:45.620
This story in John 7, 5, 3 to Mark 8, 11 has been added in.
00:09:57.100
The Quran is the only religion that has not been changed by mankind.
00:10:34.580
Now, the smallest chapter in the Quran is three lines.
00:10:43.720
Linguists, bring something like it if you think it's not.
00:10:51.620
you'll find many contradictions and errors in it.
00:10:55.160
the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.
00:13:59.900
They had plenty of reinforcements coming from them.
00:21:05.040
He made these prophecies with his wife and Ali,
00:21:50.620
He knew stuff where he talked about two battles
