Jummah Kutbahayah is a group of Muslims who believe that the Prophet Muhammad was the final messenger of the Qur'an and that the Quran was written by him. They believe that he is the greatest teacher of the messengers that came before him, and that he was the last messenger of all messengers before the revelation of the Quran.

00:00:00.000 I give salam to my people in Bangladesh, salam to the people of Marrakesh
00:00:09.180 The second question that you ask is about like your kuru's, yeah?
00:00:15.820 So what's the difference, yeah?
00:00:17.200 So what we say is that we believe the Prophet Muhammad was the final messenger 0.95
00:00:19.880 So we affirm all the messengers that came, we believe there were thousands of them
00:00:23.940 And they all came through the same message, yeah?
00:00:26.160 And that's why sometimes you see in certain books, Hindu books, the Bhagavad Gidas, the Vedas
00:00:31.940 You would see that there's a constant message, even in the Bible, yeah?
00:00:35.720 You will see that there's always this, you know, it's like something like, someone like Prophet Muhammad
00:00:40.140 Or, you know, if you look into the Bible, you always talk about, for example, Jesus saying, you know
00:00:45.880 The Father is greater than I, yeah?
00:00:49.360 I on my own self can do nothing, as I see I judge and my judgment is just because I do not seek my will but the will of my Father
00:00:54.380 Now, anyone that says the will of my Father, Father God, you're a Muslim 1.00
00:00:57.660 We don't refer to him as a Father, due to that, we don't say Ab, you know, he's a Rabb 0.99
00:01:01.460 So the thing is that we say that we would respect the gurus
00:01:05.740 In the context of we have nothing, like, against them
00:01:08.660 What we say is the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, has said that he is, like, through Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:01:13.340 He's the final messenger
00:01:14.120 Now, is there evidence to that?
00:01:16.620 So this is something that I was researching when I first came to, when I was looking into Islam, yeah?
00:01:21.020 So I would think to myself, hold on a second, let's put this to the test, you know?
00:01:23.440 How is it just like, come in, I'm not going to believe it
00:01:25.160 I'm sorry, I'm a person where, if I put my head to something, I'm going to give my life to it
00:01:29.220 In fact, I'm not going to give my life to any, like, Tom, Dick and Harry
00:01:31.500 Do you get it?
00:01:32.080 I'm not going to come in like, oh yeah, this, that faith, I saw a vision
00:01:35.080 Bruv, your vision is to yourself, bruv, maybe you're just smoking crack or something
00:01:37.800 I don't know
00:01:38.220 Do you get it?
00:01:39.280 So the thing is, I don't know, because some people have, like, mass visions
00:01:42.700 Like, oh, we all saw it
00:01:43.680 That's subjective
00:01:45.180 I can come and say, Islam is the truth
00:01:47.120 Because I came to Islam, you know, and it changed my life 1.00
00:01:50.820 And it made me a better person
00:01:51.520 Well, the one who worships Satan can say the same thing, yeah?
00:01:53.680 It's a supporting argument, but it's not a main argument
00:01:55.580 So the Prophet, peace be upon him
00:01:57.080 One thing that really, really stood out and was very profound
00:01:59.880 Is that, is the Quran, was the Quran written by him, yeah?
00:02:03.080 Now, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
00:02:04.320 If this was from other than your Lord
00:02:06.320 You will find many discrepancies and contradictions in it
00:02:08.660 Now, that's an open challenge for me
00:02:10.060 That's that saying, you know what, bruv, I'm challenging you, yeah?
00:02:13.580 Imagine if I came and said, you know what, sorry, what was your name?
00:02:16.160 Dilib
00:02:16.440 Dilib, yeah? 0.96
00:02:17.540 I said, Dilib, I'll knock out anybody in this whole, bruv 0.79
00:02:19.420 Yeah? 0.84
00:02:19.940 Show me anyone
00:02:20.580 Except the sisters, yeah?
00:02:22.220 Okay?
00:02:22.620 Because there might be some sisters who can knock me out 1.00
00:02:23.940 So, I don't want sisters to think you guys are weak
00:02:27.280 You guys are strong, I know you guys
00:02:28.280 Yeah?
00:02:29.300 So, and I start with this guy
00:02:30.760 You go, bang, I knock him out
00:02:31.620 Boom, this guy
00:02:32.320 Everyone's going down
00:02:33.020 And you're thinking, this guy's standing up to what he said
00:02:35.280 He's not just all talk, yeah?
00:02:38.000 The Quran is saying, find something like it
00:02:40.440 And another verse, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
00:02:42.800 Bring a chapter like it
00:02:44.220 And the smallest chapter is what, three sentences?
00:02:47.260 Three sentences
00:02:47.900 So now, to me, that's profound
00:02:50.480 Because what that means is
00:02:51.600 If somebody can do it
00:02:52.980 The whole Quranic argument is on the floor 0.99
00:02:55.220 Smashed
00:02:55.740 And then there's prophecies
00:02:57.820 Yeah?
00:02:58.960 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in surah
00:03:00.020 The Romans have been defeated 0.99
00:03:02.380 But they're going to come back and win
00:03:04.440 Historians say
00:03:05.380 The way the Romans were defeated
00:03:07.160 Them coming back, it was janazah 0.97
00:03:08.820 Straight, you know janazah?
00:03:09.820 Yeah?
00:03:10.080 Allah, it's done
00:03:10.800 You know, you bury him, it's finished
00:03:11.760 Done
00:03:12.780 The historians are saying
00:03:14.120 The Romans coming back is a dream 1.00
00:03:15.660 The Romans came back 1.00
00:03:17.240 Allah says in the Quran
00:03:17.840 Between three to seven or three to nine years
00:03:19.680 And they would defeat the Persians 1.00
00:03:21.140 That is a bold statement
00:03:22.940 If that doesn't come to be
00:03:23.980 Bro, we'll get mashed up today
00:03:25.400 You'll have someone here in the crowd saying
00:03:27.060 Ah, look, this didn't come to be
00:03:28.120 And the thing is
00:03:29.600 There's so many of them
00:03:30.700 For example, he talks about
00:03:32.360 In history, he talks about
00:03:34.620 At the time of Joseph
00:03:35.940 The ruler
00:03:36.920 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala 0.81
00:03:37.940 Refers to him as a king
00:03:39.240 And at the time of Moses
00:03:41.900 He refers to him as a pharaoh
00:03:42.920 So you're like
00:03:44.000 Why does Allah make that
00:03:44.740 Like, why, you know
00:03:45.700 King, pharaoh
00:03:46.320 Are they not the same thing?
00:03:47.200 If you go to the Bible 1.00
00:03:48.040 In the Bible
00:03:49.020 It refers to both of them as pharaohs
00:03:50.280 If I'm not mistaken
00:03:50.760 Or both as kings
00:03:51.380 Yeah?
00:03:52.120 Now
00:03:52.400 This is interesting
00:03:53.960 Because
00:03:54.480 When they deciphered the hieroglyphics
00:03:56.380 When they discovered the Rosetta Stone
00:03:58.000 And they deciphered the hieroglyphics
00:03:59.540 They
00:04:00.460 They found out
00:04:02.100 Is it recording yet?
00:04:03.420 Alright, safe
00:04:03.820 We'll double check, bro
00:04:04.800 He's a new cameraman, mashallah
00:04:07.100 He's my young brother, by the way
00:04:08.140 Yes
00:04:08.920 He accepted Islam about two years ago
00:04:10.700 Make dua for him
00:04:11.940 Yes
00:04:12.280 He looks a bit like me
00:04:13.640 Yes
00:04:14.160 Yes
00:04:15.300 He's the handsome version
00:04:16.740 Anyways
00:04:17.800 So
00:04:18.160 When you look at it
00:04:19.960 They discovered the Rosetta Stone
00:04:21.380 And they deciphered the hieroglyphics
00:04:22.760 And they found out
00:04:23.380 At the time of Joseph
00:04:24.220 The rulers were not called pharaoh
00:04:25.260 They were called king
00:04:26.340 So I'm thinking to myself
00:04:27.940 Yo
00:04:28.160 How does one know that?
00:04:30.680 And the prophet
00:04:31.080 Peace be upon me
00:04:31.560 Came with so many prophecies
00:04:32.920 Prophecies over prophecies
00:04:34.780 There will come a time
00:04:35.580 Where barefooted Bedouins 0.96
00:04:37.040 He didn't say a nation
00:04:38.320 Or a society
00:04:39.040 Is going to build
00:04:40.120 High buildings
00:04:40.720 Race with each other 1.00
00:04:41.400 Because we can say
00:04:42.040 You know the pyramids
00:04:42.760 Or Babylon
00:04:43.200 He says barefooted Bedouins
00:04:45.880 Barefooted Bedouins 1.00
00:04:47.240 Yeah
00:04:47.520 So now we see in Dubai
00:04:49.040 The tallest building
00:04:50.020 Man's racing with the other guy
00:04:51.000 The buildings are empty
00:04:52.080 There's nothing there
00:04:52.540 They're just racing with each other
00:04:53.240 Yeah
00:04:53.380 So the thing is
00:04:54.600 Over and over again
00:04:55.680 He talks about the
00:04:56.480 Battle of Jamal
00:04:57.580 If I'm not mistaken
00:04:58.240 He talked about how
00:04:59.760 His wife will be 0.66
00:05:01.000 She would make a mistake
00:05:02.620 And she would have
00:05:03.920 You know
00:05:04.520 Like dogs circulating her
00:05:05.820 And he would tell
00:05:07.180 Ali radiya al-an
00:05:07.860 To forgive her
00:05:08.660 So it's like specific
00:05:09.980 And every single one
00:05:11.080 Of them happened
00:05:11.540 So you think to yourself
00:05:12.540 Hold on a second
00:05:13.160 How is it that
00:05:14.180 He's claiming things
00:05:15.360 And his character
00:05:16.640 His character was something
00:05:17.540 That really caught my attention
00:05:18.540 Because it goes back
00:05:20.040 To the whole statement
00:05:20.700 That he made
00:05:21.180 His own enemies
00:05:22.780 Can you imagine
00:05:23.400 Your own enemies
00:05:24.120 That hate your guts 1.00
00:05:24.960 They want to see you dead 1.00
00:05:25.800 But they say 0.97
00:05:26.240 This man's an honest man
00:05:27.140 I hate him 1.00
00:05:28.060 I hope he dies 1.00
00:05:28.800 But this guy's just 0.99
00:05:29.860 On his path
00:05:30.300 And they would give
00:05:30.840 His belongings
00:05:31.240 You know gold
00:05:32.180 And stuff like that
00:05:32.880 They'll get him
00:05:33.580 To look after it
00:05:34.260 And he said to them
00:05:35.820 And this is what
00:05:36.300 I found really profound
00:05:37.100 He said to them one day
00:05:38.500 If I was to tell you that
00:05:40.280 Because his people
00:05:40.880 Were rejecting him
00:05:41.700 Even though they
00:05:42.740 Testified that he's
00:05:43.580 The truthful
00:05:43.900 If I was to tell you
00:05:45.500 There's an army
00:05:46.020 Coming behind this mountain 0.99
00:05:46.920 To come and kill us 1.00
00:05:47.700 Would you believe me 1.00
00:05:48.480 He said how could we doubt you
00:05:49.520 We know you to be the truthful
00:05:50.480 He said I'm telling you
00:05:51.780 I'm the God's messenger
00:05:52.440 Because we were rejected
00:05:53.720 So there's a lot of things
00:05:56.000 There's a whole book
00:05:56.620 There's a book about it
00:05:57.400 It talks about the signs
00:05:58.120 Of the day of judgment
00:05:58.700 I would personally say
00:06:00.360 That anything that
00:06:02.260 Complements Islam
00:06:03.280 In the context
00:06:03.840 Of if the gurus
00:06:04.480 For example
00:06:05.000 Believe in certain things
00:06:06.780 I think some gurus
00:06:07.440 If I'm not mistaken
00:06:08.000 They believe the prophet
00:06:08.720 Muhammad was a final message 1.00
00:06:10.600 Or something along those lines
00:06:11.580 I heard
00:06:11.980 But I'm not sure
00:06:12.660 I'm not really versed in it
00:06:13.640 But the thing is
00:06:14.660 We respect that
00:06:15.560 But however
00:06:16.240 What we say is
00:06:16.940 Allah says in the Quran
00:06:17.640 And this goes to me
00:06:18.740 Because I come from a family
00:06:19.920 Where my dad's agnostic
00:06:20.860 My mom's alawi
00:06:22.200 Yeah
00:06:22.600 So from a Shia sect 0.97
00:06:25.760 Yeah
00:06:26.240 Now I had a choice
00:06:27.240 Like when I came to Islam
00:06:28.300 I was
00:06:28.680 You know
00:06:29.120 My brother knows
00:06:29.940 Yeah
00:06:30.160 I got kicked out of the house
00:06:31.060 Yeah
00:06:31.400 He was happy
00:06:33.360 He was like
00:06:33.640 Yeah
00:06:33.800 So I got kicked out of my house
00:06:36.600 Because I was called
00:06:37.280 What a traitor
00:06:37.840 Now the question
00:06:38.920 That I need to ask is
00:06:39.560 Allah says in the Quran
00:06:40.480 Are you going to
00:06:42.440 Follow your forefathers
00:06:43.500 Knowing that they were
00:06:44.440 In the wrong
00:06:44.760 I had to be real with myself
00:06:46.380 When I look in the mirror
00:06:46.980 I'm going to say to myself
00:06:47.640 Okay
00:06:47.900 I don't get kicked out of the house
00:06:49.580 I just say
00:06:50.100 You know what
00:06:50.360 Forget Islam 1.00
00:06:51.000 And live a big life
00:06:53.100 For the rest of my life
00:06:53.800 Or say to myself
00:06:54.820 You know what
00:06:55.200 If this is the truth
00:06:56.180 And I've done my research
00:06:57.840 If that is the case
00:06:59.280 And I've looked at different religions
00:07:00.600 And different ideologies
00:07:01.700 And philosophies
00:07:02.340 Etc
00:07:02.660 If there's evidence
00:07:04.400 That this is from God almighty
00:07:05.620 And I'm sincere
00:07:06.280 And I asked God
00:07:07.340 I said God
00:07:07.700 If it's the Bible 0.94
00:07:09.420 I'll go to the Bible 1.00
00:07:10.060 Whichever one
00:07:11.060 I don't mind
00:07:11.600 Because I'm seeking the truth
00:07:13.020 If you're genuinely looking
00:07:14.560 For the truth
00:07:14.960 God will guide you
00:07:16.340 And that was my specific journey
00:07:18.620 And I said
00:07:19.020 You know what
00:07:19.340 I have to
00:07:19.760 Because even if the whole world comes
00:07:21.340 If they say 0.98
00:07:21.640 You know we're going to hang you 0.99
00:07:22.380 In that instance 0.99
00:07:23.440 Obviously we have Islamic
00:07:24.180 That you're allowed to lie
00:07:25.160 That yeah okay
00:07:25.740 Don't kill man
00:07:26.740 Whatever you say
00:07:28.160 That's what I'm trying to say
00:07:29.400 But I had to be real
00:07:30.580 And say look
00:07:30.940 I'm sorry
00:07:31.340 Respectfully to my dad
00:07:32.740 Dad I'm sorry
00:07:33.460 But it's the truth
00:07:34.520 Unless you can prove it wrong to me dad
00:07:36.300 If you can't
00:07:37.600 Then I'm sorry dad
00:07:38.660 You know
00:07:38.940 And being respectful to him
00:07:40.340 And I believe
00:07:41.620 If you research into it more
00:07:43.320 Yeah that's what it is
00:07:45.160 And we just believe
00:07:45.780 It's the final messenger
00:07:46.660 We don't believe in any other messenger 1.00
00:07:48.040 After that
00:07:48.600 And yeah
00:07:49.900 I hope that answers your question
00:07:50.640 To the best
00:07:51.340 If you ever
