and the occupation is well please
I’m a business person okay I was invited
to this piece conversion by a friend and
I came here because it was called a
piece concentration was high
I found this catalogue took a booklet
that said something about Yusuf it was
written that raised as a strong
Christian educated in Texas USA
he became very successful owning music
stalls television shows and was the
music minister and pressure of the Bible
so I want to ask you sir as a preacher
of the Bible what was the what was the
reason of the point or the truth that
you found in Islam that led to your
compassion as a strong Christian and
Reacher of the Bible as a beautiful
question because there’s lights in my
eyes that don’t know exactly where you
are can you hold up your hand well yes
there you are
I’m sorry now I see your name is gabriel
in arabic is Jabril that’s the angel i
was talking about
so we we’re very happy to have you with
us today it’s a pleasure to have you
with us and it’s a pleasure for you to
ask such a question in such a nice way
I’m privileged to ask you that question
I wish I was there I can give you a big
hug thank you sir
because when I was a Christian see I
wasn’t nice like you you’re nice
oh it’s tough you know because I thought
I had to save the world I’m gonna go out
and preach a message and you know I’m
still a little wacko don’t get me wrong
but not near as bad as that was what I
found and this is important to know what
I found was in my Bible first what I
found was in my Bible first because I
used to travel with a lot of the
so-called preachers of Christianity and
some of the ones that are traveled with
they don’t represent real Christianity
by the way but I traveled with them and
I
learned I couldn’t trust them especially
when they would pick up the Bible and
say the Bible says the Bible says and
afterwards I would say it didn’t say
that they say who cares as long as the
people think so
and so it bothered me so much that I
started trying to really read and
understand many different translations
of the Bible but they didn’t match so I
said obviously you know translation is
not the real thing I need to learn Cohn
a Greek I knew that the Latin I had
already studied Latin and I knew that
the Vulgate was only a translation of :
a Greek anyway so when I went to the
cone a Greek it was hard that was really
hard because those characters they’re
confusing you know I don’t know if you
know Greek but it’s weird Greek to me
anyway then I come to know that oh by
the way actually Jesus language was a
form of Hebrew called Aramaic a form of
Semitic language called Aramaic and I
had no clue what that was so I tried to
learn the Hebrew now all along the way
I’m taking ok interlinear Bible I don’t
know if you know what that is that’s
when you have the word in English and
under it’ll have the word in Koine Greek
and you can look it up now people like
Ahmed Deedat Rahim along in dr. zakir
naik they have these giant computer
brains ok I don’t have that giant
computer brains they can process all
this stuff in their head
and I traveled with Zakhar many times
and I have to tell you he can really do
that any time but this is not my subject
when I was studying it I came to realize
that there was a book called Strong’s
Concordance of the Bible my father had a
copy so I would sit there it’s big it’s
a very big book and I would go through
and look for these words and then it
will tell you in Koine Greek what’s the
root what it comes from and what it’s
related to and where it’s in the Bible
and then all of a sudden I started
discovering something really big there’s
a whole lot of interpolation because if
you look over here those same exact word
means one thing but over here it means
something else and then statements that
people say about the Bible are not true
if I quote to you from what we have in
the Quran I can quote it to you in the
Arabic language but how many people do
you know that can quote the Bible in the
original Aramaic of the New Testament or
ancient Hebrew or the Old Testament not
very many people right but I want you to
look while you’re standing right there
Gabriel look around this room right here
now I don’t know most of these people
some of them know me from TV or
something like that but they don’t
really know me but if I open this book
on any page and I start quoting out of
this thing
believe it or not they will know if I’m
making mistakes there’ll be somebody in
this room that can tell you know it’s a
mistake you said it wrong but I’m just
going to go to the first page there we
go this is the first page I’ll hold it
so the cameras can get a shot all right
guys all right what’s the first letter
first letter and the first page anybody
no tell us
bah everybody knows it’s about so what’s
the word bismillah deserve it and
keeping a keep in mind this is the
English program we’re doing I’m speaking
some form of English right now right
yeah okay this is me llahi r-rahmani
r-rahim’ next words al rahman al rahim
[Music]
yet the da Buddha wa iyyaka nastaa’een
sirata al-ladhina and I’m tolerating
I mean you don’t have to say I mean
except in the slot but you know anyway
no you could say Gabriel oh well I mean
you know that could be a rehearsal thing
that people do every day and guess what
you’d be right we do say that we’d say
it every day five times a day we pray
but there are a total of seventeen times
we say it
so you could say odd they just know that
but by the way how about if I
mispronounced something would they catch
it hi Roma dooby alayhim wala Darlene
whoops huh whoo yeah I like him huh
actually it’s both because there is
another pronunciation but the common one
no I want to go to the other side though
I’m gonna go to the back I’ll go to the
back that was the front this is the back
I was able a minute on the regime
bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim who Allah
Allah
then well done well done that’s in the
back whoops how about the middle it’s
not actually dead middle okay but it’s
close to the middle in Edina how about
that
let’s chapter 3 verse 19 by the way
contain Jairo Oh Martin that’s chapter 3
verse a hundred and ten know what I’m
showing you is that we know this in
Arabic every Muslim on the earth knows
this book in the Arabic lines at one
point six billion know that it’s in
Arabic and we have some of them
memorized and all of us know it’s only
in Arabic no way this is where it gets
good how many in this room you know
somebody who memorized the whole entire
Quran cover to cover raise your hand in
Arabic you met somebody you know
somebody somebody in your family raise
your hand
[Applause]
I did this in the University in the
United States I said now for the
Christians raise your hand if you ever
met anybody in your life who memorized
the whole Bible in Hebrew and Cohen a
Greek and they just went what is that
the language my point is not to put down
the Bible my point is to put down the
people who lie about it because the more
I studied the Hebrew and the cone a
Greek the more I began to realize that
what I was learning from the Quran in
English I was written English use of
Allah you remember it was the same thing
especially the one I read to you just
now and they helped me with Lamia lid
when I’m you’re like listen to this I’m
going to give you a translation of
scripture God is not a man and God is
not the son of man is this in the Quran
is it in the Quran yes but I didn’t
quote it from the Quran I quoted it from
the Bible that’s in the Book of Numbers
chapter 23 verse 19 God is not a man
that he should sin and God is not the
son of man that he will repent and when
I read that I said now wait a minute if
it says here that God is not a son of
man then how is it in the New Testament
it’s saying jesus is son of man how
could he be a god
I took it to one of my preacher friends
and I said hey look at this what do you
say about this you know what he said he
said that’s a big s son of man the other
one’s a little s son of man no I think I
think you already know as most the
audience knows there’s no such thing as
upper and lowercase letters in Aramaic
Hebrew or Arabic means they lied again
and then another subject another subject
saying Islam spread by the sword it
slims spread by the sword I heard so
many preachers telling me get away from
these Muslims Islam spread by the sword
604 pages 114 chapters 6666 verses the
pen and I you count them up guess what
and many words in Arabic for swords safe
Muhammad Hassan I think 16 words for
sword guess how many times I found the
any of those words in Arabic 0 not once
in the Bible just the word sword over
200 times oops wait you asked me I’m
just telling you so when I take my Bible
to the preacher and I said excuse me it
says here that Jesus said I did not come
with peace I came with a sword and it’s
time to sell your coat and buy a sword
what did that mean you know what he said
listen to this you’ll never believe how
people can lie he said don’t you know
this was done in Italy where they
transcribed this stuff the Latin you
know it was in Italy Rome is in Italy
don’t you know that I said yeah he said
and they would work by candlelight at
night and it was hard to see yeah and
while they were trying to translate you
know put this down in the Latin language
you know what happened they were eating
spaghetti the Italians they like
spaghetti and spaghetti fell down and it
was made s it was word it wasn’t sword
it was word he said I came with a word
then you know what’s wrong with that
the
word-for-word in Kona Greek is logos now
how did they turn the logos into sword
by dropping spaghetti on it and here
excuse me but what does it mean sell
your coat and buy a word what is it a
game show on TV I’d like to buy that
word right there for $100 please what is
this and the more I talk to them the
more I could see lie after lie after lie
and finally I said you know what I don’t
need to be in a religion full of liars
but it didn’t convince me about Islam
yet where I got convinced about Islam is
over a separate subject and then the
Quran in the Bible backed it up right
there buddy
in the heart because nobody can play
with your heart that’s yours
you own it it’s yours you can do
whatever you want with it
it is yours right yes that’s the one
thing nobody can imprison they can lock
me in a prison put me in a box throw me
in the ocean but they can’t control this
that’s mine that’s yours you own it so
if you get inside of that heart like I
did and clean it out and throw all the
trash and garbage out of there throw the
lies out of there the misconceptions of
prejudice and just give it all up and
say you know what I belong to God I just
belong to God God guide me and that’s
what I did and when I did that I had
this strange impression I need to put my
head on the ground and so I did that
[Applause]
and with my head on the ground
I said these words Gabriel Oh God
if you’re there guide me and when I got
up I realized something I’m the one with
the problem
the world’s not the problem I was the
problem and from that day to this day 19
years I’m saying the same thing every
day 17 times a day it deenis are often
what’s the Keen guide us to the straight
path Edina sirat al-mustaqim guide us to
the straight path and I’m gonna tell you
something I’m not psychic and we don’t
believe in psychics and magic and all
that stuff we don’t but I’m gonna tell
you something oh and and now if your
your brothers and sisters is gonna see
something strange because Gabriel and I
never met we’re not setting this up what
he doesn’t even know what I’m gonna say
but Gabriel you’ve been praying in your
heart asking God to get you or you
wouldn’t be standing there right now is
that true or false there you go there’s
your verification he said that’s true
and I know it because I’ve been through
this again and again and again thousands
of people I watched come to Islam again
and again just like Gabriel they’re
looking for truth they’re not looking
for Islam they’re not looking for the
Quran they’re just looking for truth
real truth and because there’s only one
God and only one way to get to God
it has to be on his terms and there’s
only one way and we said it in Adina in
the LA he Islam the only thing Allah
wants from you is this simple thing your
heart it’s what he wants give him your
heart
and everything else will be fine and how
you do that I’m gonna give you five
words in the English language they have
to be all at the same time surrender
submission obedience sincerity and peace
do you want those things in your life
it’s uh I do to everybody in this room
wants those things all at the same time
though surrender submission obedience to
His commandments you know the ten
commandments we got the same thing
there’s the same thing it’s not a new
religion and then sincerity to be
sincere no lies no showing off
no react for Allah only and finally to
be in peace with whatever he gives you
say okay thank you even if you like it
thank you if you don’t like it
thank you anyway because it’s from him
being peace with it this word in Arabic
is one takes five words in English you
know what the word is in Arabic no it’s
now it’s really that’s the word
[Applause]
[Music]
ah
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]

each other and I was reliving the
experience of 19 years ago and I needed
somebody to hold me then and cry with me

allah coming over us which is washing
away the sins since the day we were born

message John the Baptist preached it’s
the message that Muhammad’s alive Salaam

one and only Savior all your sins are
forgiven in your new born just like you

encouraged other people to do the same
maybe Allah he’s giving you the reward
for this too
this could be it’s all good
there’s a quote from the Bible in
English it said all good things work for
those who love the Lord all – all good
things come to those who love the Lord
but we have in Islam something similar
even more beautiful
it says that the Prophet peace be upon
him said ajeeb amazing astonishing is
the condition of a believer because all
things are good for them anything they
want comes to them they say thank you to
a law when the things come they don’t
want their patient or the law and all of
its good for them but it’s only in the
case of a believer now is there anybody

no yet to make sure that’s it I’m sorry
for the misunderstanding here okay okay
we don’t have any more time for say I’m
borrowing somebody else’s time right now
so what I want to do now listen to me
every Muslim here knows the importance
of the Shahada
some Muslims wish they could make sure
Hara but never got a chance and they’re
too embarrassed in front of their
friends and relatives they never really
practiced Islam they want to but they
don’t know where to start I’m telling
you right now if you don’t pray if you
don’t fast if you’re not following Islam
you’re not a Muslim and I know you want
to be so what we can do everybody we’re
getting ready to take a break anyway
stand up just get up now I know all of
you are Muslim but maybe somebody’s here
right now that never got to do their
Shahada so let’s just all sare Shahada
together that gives that person a chance
to say now I get to turn my life around
I’m gonna be good from this minute
forward and that’s a very positive step
you ready don’t sit back down boy I’ll
be right down you get up that’s it thank
you very much a shadow on that Aloha
in la-la la sharika lah what a shadow on
muhammad rasulullah saaw the law le
whistle on my lower bar I love you guys
