This video isn't an argument. I'm not even really going to respond much to the

00:13

Qur 'an sections that I quote here. This is more educational. There is a section of the

00:20

Qur 'an that, as with all the sections of the Qur 'an that quote Jesus except for one, has

00:27

Jesus speaking in a disembodied voice, not placed in history anywhere. It's been very rightly said many times that Jesus of the

00:34

Qur 'an is not a person, he's an argument. And in this particular text from Surah 5,

00:41

Al -Maidah, you have Jesus responding to a question from Allah, almost an accusatory question, but asking if Jesus taught anyone to worship he and his mother as gods in derogation of Allah.

00:56

It seems that this is what Muhammad thought the doctrine of the trinity was. Many Muslims of this day believe that.

01:03

Clearly that is not what the trinity is or ever has been. But, be it as it may, I'm going to read the text to you and then

01:12

I'm going to play the beginning of what was an interfaith dialogue. And the interfaith dialogue begins with the recitation of this same portion of the

01:22

Qur 'an. Notice the way in which the Qur 'an is recited. The difference between the reading of the

01:31

Qur 'an in Arabic, the chanting of the Qur 'an in Arabic, and then the reading of the

01:37

English translation. And, of course, the significance of starting with this before an interfaith dialogue that is about the view of God in the

01:46

Bible and in the Qur 'an. I find that interesting. So, again, not really arguing this point, but just simply providing this as information so people will understand what the

01:55

Qur 'an is actually saying and whether it's actually accurate in what it says.

02:01

Let's look at the text from the Qur 'an. And behold, Allah will say,

02:06

O Jesus, the son of Mary, didst thou say unto men, Worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah?

02:12

He will say, Glory to thee! Never could I say what I had no right to say. Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it.

02:21

Thou knowest what is in my heart, though I know not what is in thine. For thou knowest in full all that is hidden.

02:27

Never said I to them, Ought except what thou didst command me to say, to wit, Worship Allah, my

02:33

Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them, whilst I dwelt amongst them. When thou didst take me up, thou wast the watcher over them, and thou art a witness to all things.

02:46

If thou dost punish them, they are thy servant. And if thou dost forgive them, thou art the exalted in power, the wise.

02:53

Allah will say, This is a day on which the truthful will profit from their truth. Theirs are gardens with rivers flowing beneath, their eternal home.

03:03

Allah well pleased with them, and they with Allah. That is the great salvation, the fulfillment of all desires.

03:10

To Allah doth belong the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein. And it is

03:15

He who hath power over all things. When thou didst say unto the people,

03:48

Take me, and my mother, two deities from among them,

03:55

He said, Glory be to Thee! It is not for me to say that which is not for me.

04:04

If I had said it, thou wouldst have known it.

04:10

Thou knowest what is in my soul, and I know not what is in thy soul.

04:19

Verily, thou knowest the unseen. I did not say unto them except that thou hadst commanded me to worship

04:34

Allah, my Lord and your

04:40

Lord. And I was a witness against them while I was in them.

04:46

And when thou tookest me to death, it was thou who was watching over them.

04:56

And thou art a witness over all things.

05:04

If thou punish them, verily, they are Thy servants.

05:09

And if thou forgive them, verily, Thou art the

05:16

Mighty, the Wise. Allah said,

05:22

This is the Day when the truthful shall benefit from their truthfulness. They shall have

05:28

Gardens through which rivers flow, abiding therein forever.

05:44

Allah is well -pleased with them, and they are well -pleased with Him. That is the great triumph.

05:53

To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them.

06:00

And He has power over all things. Which are from Surah Al -Ma 'idah, the fifth surah of the glorious Qur 'an,

06:20

Ayah verse number 116 to 120. Allah says,

06:28

And remember, when Allah will say on the Day of Judgment, O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say unto men,

06:37

Worship Me and My Mother as two gods besides Allah? He will say,

06:42

Glory be to You. It was not for Me to say what I had no right to say. Had I said such a thing,

06:49

You would surely have known it. You know what is in My inner self, though I do not know what is in Yours.

06:57

Truly, You, only You, are the All -Knower of all that is hidden and unseen.

07:04

Never did I say to them aught except what You did command Me to say. Worship Allah, My Lord and Your Lord, and I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them.

07:17

But when You took Me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a witness to all things.

07:23

If You punish them, they are Your slaves. If You forgive them, verily,

07:30

You, only You, are the Almighty, the All -Wise. Allah will say,

07:36

This is a day on which the truthful will profit from their truth. Theirs are gardens under which rivers flow in Paradise.

07:45

They shall abide therein forever. Allah is pleased with them and they with Him.

07:51

That is the great success. To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein.

07:59

And He is able to do all things. Thank you very much.

08:43

Redeemer, Name above all names.

08:51

Precious Lamb of God, Messiah over sinners slain.

09:01

Thank You, O my Father, for giving us

09:09

Your Son. And leaving Your Spirit till the work on earth is done.
