Dear Ryan , Omar has been trying to contact you ! If you see this message could you please send him an email at UNCG .
mashaAllah
Take beer
here for louden work
Omar c'est une excellente performance... Les idées véhiculées sont tout à fait exactes. Je me demande parfois si les êtres humains ne s'enferment pas dans leur monde personnel créé de toute pièce. PEACE
beutiful
mast
Has he never heard of the French term "Métis" ! It's much more accurate than mixed
One interesting aspect of this talk was that, Omar, "progressively" combined the old testament, Torah, new testament, the Bible, and Quran presenting the divine message in all three to be the one and the same. In Baha'i Faith, this is called progressive revelations: revelations of God will be vouchsafed onto mankind throughout the ages; in the past, present, and in the far off future. Religions are NOT club membership and there is no competition among the messengers/Religions of God. Its the same messages re-shaped to the understanding/need of the people of the time. If one denies one (messenger/religion), he/she has denied them all. Peace.
Ameen
That is only applicable to people of the book (Jews, Christians and Muslims) not Hinduism for example paganism is to be denied
@@adil2curtay It is the "literal" interpretation that gets all the people mixed up. The logic you are presenting here is like saying Can God builds a house that He Himself can not destroy!!! Bottome line, it is the fallacy of the way human present his logic.
At university you should have learnt that Islam did it first.
Tnert Nesor First ? Like what?
@@mannygomez5367 Like never.
George lol.
@@mannygomez5367 Wow.
allah subhannahu wa ta alla, allah knows best. Allahu Akbar
Allah Almighty says:
أفغير دين الله يبغون وله أسلم من في السماوات والأرض طوعا وكرها وإليه يرجعون
"So why are they looking for a religion other than the religion of Allah, but what is in the heavens and on the earth submit to Him, (good) willingly or unwillingly, and to Him shall they be returned?" [Ali 'Imran: 83 ]
Everything that God has created, in the heavens or in the earth, there must be a purpose and wisdom. It is not solely due only for fun only. Even a mosquito was not created in vain. Allah Ta'ala says,
أفحسبتم أنما خلقناكم عبثا وأنكم إلينا لا ترجعون
"Did you think that We had created you in play (only), and that you would not return to Us?" (QS. Al Mukminun: 115)

Al-Baqarah : 285
ءَامَنَ ٱلرَّسُولُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَرُسُلِهِۦ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِۦ ۚ وَقَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ
The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination."
Islam is the religion of peace and we believe of all prophets and we don't differentiate between them because all of them comes from the same source which is Allah
Islam is pure hate, lies and stupidity. Allah is pagan moongod. Muslims are pagans, worship pagan god and his fraudulent prophet, have pagan rituals.
@@thetruthstweet8996 Read islamic scripts, it is all there. And no one can prove anything to brainwashed morons, they know everything already.
@@thetruthstweet8996 You, idiots, instead of learning about the real world, learn some fairy tales of ancient morons, completely untrue and illogical and you make only trouble in our world. Luckily your idiotic pagan cult is collapsing.
@George, it's a bit absurd for you to preach. You just insult people all day long. You can't even speak like a civilised person.
There were American Native Indian Muslims, too...
1/3 of the world is Muslim. You'll see them everywhere in every creed mashallah
@@zainshaikh527 Not for long now, islam is collapsing.
@@bargegurkiterien9489 Yeah, fastest dying pagan cult, moron.
The different sects of islam are extremely similar. God wanted to preserve islam and so therefore splitting it into many very different groups is not correct. True islam is si simply that you follow the Qur'an and the sunnah
Not so simple, is it?
@@staples1204 it isn't simple but that's basically what you have to do to be a good Muslim. It's not hard when you make it routine. Just follow the Quran and the sunnah. Any "sect" that says otherwise or rejects a phrase in the Quran is an entirely different religion altogether. You cannot change anything in Islam for your convenience and by doing so you are no longer following Islam. By sects I meant people with differing opinions on very specific things that don't change much in Islam.
@@zendarkritical funny enough all the sects pray 5 times,fast in Ramadan etc and to cap it up all the Qur'an is one word for word to the very last .
Whenever one believe in only one path.... He is bound to be fundamentalist...the second step may be radicalism and so on....
Problem with such believe is that even in its best senses it will tolerate (ot respect) the other believe...
Such believe will always aspire to influence other.....
# liberty aspire to be not bounded by believe....
# be a seeker than being a believer...
# if there is god, why to worry.... and if there is no god, then why to discuss...
Thank you for 9/11,thank you for your plants, reverts all over the world now!
Allah has a better plans.
Alhamdulillah ❤❤❤
Allah does not exist, but morons do.
@@George-iv1hi yes just like you
@@kiratheking4212 Your cult is dying, moron.
the arabic word for God is إله ( ilah ) which means a deity , so anything worshipped a god ( with a small g) on the other hand when we refer to the God ( big G ) as in the one and only God he is of course a deity ( ilah ) but also the God and his name is الله ( allah ) there’s a difference . nice talk though :)
allah is not arabic, it comes from old aramaic: al (the god) + lah (name of the pagan moongod).
Allah comes from the same root as Elohim.
@@George-iv1hi where did Aramaic come from? Who were it's speakers? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Klopp2543 Learn history, you will know. Arabic is descendant language, not source language as you, morons, think.
We liyutim allah nureh we lu keriha al kafirun
There are actually five holy books preceding the Quran and they are The Scrolls of Abraham, Zabur of David, Torah of Moses, Bible of Jesus and the Quran of Mohammed PBU-all of them. I don’t know the English term for Zabur. Also note that Moses has his own “scrolls” apart from the Torah. There were thousands of prophets throughout history beginning with Adam, however these 5 are singled out as “اولي العزم” or those with determination seemingly because they came to be prophets at very difficult times. For example Abraham was thrown in a grave of fire for destroying the man-made totems which his people used to worship and equate to gods. Allah ordered the fire to not burn him and he came out it alive and continued to lead people to God/Allah. Many more examples for each mentioned in the Quran. Hope this is informative for some. Also, if you haven’t listened to Lowkey’s music what are you waiting for? Peace ❤️
It is Injeel of Jesus ( a.s) or the Gospel of Jesus not Bible.
MF Khan That’s right.
The English Term of Zabur is "Psalm of David"
Minhaz Mahin thanks
Brown Justin trudeau is right
Identity Who We are, and Who God is
We:
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Rom 3:23
God:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he gave us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1Pet 1:3
Rest of falls religions is completely pointless.
Will Muslims condemn the apostasy laws?
Ali Shebley It is only in muslim countries that apostasy laws exist in the 21st century Baqarah (9:11-120)
Ali Shebley Only fascism and communism have a bloodier history than Islam. I'm sure you would mention the crusades, ignoring the a attacks on Spain, France, Greece and other countries that preceded the horrible and bloody crusades. I have been trying for years to get one Muslim to condemn the apostasy laws I'll keep trying.
I am a Muslim and I condemn it and so do many others. So here you go. It says in Quran that “There is no compulsion in religion (2:256),” and “Let him who will believe and let him who will disbelieve (18:29).” Belief is mentioned as a matter of personal choice and Allah (saw) will be the final judge. In fact, there is no law as such mentioned for apostasy in Quran unlike Bible. This rule applied to Prophet Muhammad equally. His job was solely the delivery of the message, not its imposition by force. God says in the Koran: “So if they submit, then indeed they follow the right way; and if they turn back, then upon you is only the delivery of the message...(3:20).” And you must also know that many rulings and laws of the Arabs were borrowed from Torah(scripture ofJews) and Bible and that's how stoning came into the picture. So for every nonsense done by Muslims or Arabs, stop blaming their religion. More so often, it's not the religion but the culture.
+Tabassum Khan excellent explanation mam
Good reply but the later written verses of the rule out the more gentle peaceful earlier verses. I don't know how places like Pakistan. Afghanistan, Turkmenistan are Arab but do continue in your condemnation and perhaps imams will start to listen, thank you.
Its just if he can get rid of that constant ‘ummm’ ‘mmmmm’ ‘ommm’ whatever it is that would be great. I am a terrible presenter myself but if he listens to this himself and counts number of times he was seeking approval of audience by his constant ‘ommmm?’ he would realise it becomes a little annoying after a couple of minutes. 🙏
Christian and Muslim at the same time? are you kidding, sir?
Madly Beloved i think he meant that he is culturally christian, through his childhood and his family’s beliefs and traditions but he is religiously muslim
@@ValeriaMartinez-rj2xb that's makes a sense :)))
@بثينةWe don't worship him..
@@madinaadilova9518 One can't be Muslim until he can't believe in Jesus and love Jesus. If you have read the Quran then you will know better.
Wow .... another ABC(1/2)D
This man keeps calling ignorance as identity 😂
How so? Trying to understand what you are implying by being so vague
That little ‘hmmm’ higher tone after the sentence, as if to signal, ‘comprende’? is annoying and has an arrogant self affirming and punctuating tone? Is that a South American thing?
He’s a professor, I think it’s a habit... in class making sure the students are following..
Yes, I'm also peruvien and we use a lot mmmm and has different meanings but in his speech is not in an arrogant way 😅
@chris katherine salas muñiz
Thanks for that.
It’s almost like half of a question. It’s a ‘do you understand me’, without waiting for the people’s reply.
Mr. Omar didn't mention on HOW Islam was spread.
It was spread through sword.
Oh I am sure the Christianity spread through Love... NOT...
So was christianisme in the 16th century. No double standard please.
@@STEPIQUE at the beguining at least, christianisme spread through live. And then roman catholic church happened...
@sy ed now tell me what did Mohamed say, And what did he do. Was he a'ythong peacefull ???! Now juge islam according to that.
@@STEPIQUE Christianity was spread under great persecution for the first 3 centuries. Islam was spread with war, after Muhammad gained power.
But with God you can't make MASALA....when you Muslims will recognize that the Qur'an is meaningless?
Terrible punchlines.
