00:00I would like to accept Islam and I would want you to help me to recite the Kalma.
00:13MashaAllah, the sister in the Pali, she's from Pune, working in MNC and she wants to accept Islam.
00:18Sister, before you accept Islam, I would like to make sure that is anyone forcing you to accept Islam, sister?
00:25No, brother. I've been reading about Islam since a year now.
00:30So, I thought this is the best opportunity for me.
00:33MashaAllah. Is anyone forcing you?
00:35No.
00:36Is there any economic pressure?
00:38No.
00:39Is there any physical pressure?
00:40No.
00:41Because in Islam, forcing anyone to accept Islam is prohibited in Islam, number one.
00:46It's even prohibited in this country. That's number two.
00:50But if someone wants to accept Islam willingly, no one can prevent you from.
00:54And inshaAllah, as your desire is, I will read the Kalma.
00:58And inshaAllah, you can repeat it, sister.
01:00Yes.
01:02And I'd like to ask you before you decide the Kalma, that do you believe that there is one God?
01:07Yes.
01:08Do you believe that idol worship is prohibited?
01:10Yes, I do.
01:11Do you believe that the last and final messenger is Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him?
01:15Yes, I do.
01:16MashaAllah, sister.
01:17So, I'll just recite the Kalma and you can repeat after me.
01:49And I bear witness that Prophet Muhammad is the servant and the messenger of Allah.
02:02MashaAllah.
02:02Sister, you're a Muslim.
02:04And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reward you.
02:06And I pray to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, grant you Jannah.
02:09It's good that you have been studying Islam for one year.
02:11And it's good you read the Quran and the Hadith.
02:14Otherwise, if you have seen the media, maybe you have never accepted Islam.
02:18So, I pray to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that may you accept your effort.
02:21And inshaAllah, grant you Jannah.
02:23Thank you, sister.
02:24Yes, brother.
02:28Hare Krishna.
02:30My name is Ravi Kanth Pandey.
02:32I am 23 years old.
02:34I have completed my graduation from Kolkata University.
02:37I belong to Sanathar Dharma.
02:39So, I have no qualification to speak in the front of you.
02:45But I am trying to speak with you.
02:46I have one question in my mind.
02:50And even I can speak wrong because I don't know English very much well.
02:54So, please forgive me.
02:56No problem.
02:57My question in Sanathar Dharma is also written.
03:01That women should be protected in a child time by his parents and a young time by his husband.
03:09And after the mother, his elder son will protect two women.
03:15In Sanathar Dharma says, there is no love in this world.
03:18Lust is there in this world.
03:20So, love and lust is two different things.
03:23And it cannot go in a same one platform.
03:27So, our real duty is to engage the service of the Lord.
03:33And in a Sanathar Dharma, Arjuna asked one time to Krishna,
03:38Oh Krishna, please tell me what this man is speaking.
03:42I don't know.
03:43I don't know so many languages.
03:45So, please clarify me.
03:46So, Krishna told to Arjuna, they are talking like a frog.
03:50Even a snack come and they eat.
03:52Just like I come by death and I eat.
03:54So, in this world, there is no love.
03:58We are trying to satisfy it.
04:00This is a simply attachment.
04:02We can say in Sanathar Dharma says,
04:04Ki omen attach with a man and man attach with a omen.
04:08So, this Sanathar Dharma,
04:13because in a Bhagavad Gita 5200 years ago came
04:17and 2,100 years ago in a Bible came
04:20and 1,400 years ago your Quran came.
04:24So, Sanathar Dharma is coming by so many millions of years.
04:29So, I belong to...
04:30I am not justifying,
04:32ki our life is meant for simply engage the service of...
04:35What's the question, brother?
04:36I have read the Sanathar Dharma.
04:38I give my comments on Sanathar Dharma to you.
04:40I want to ask you, what is the question?
04:41Do you want to say that Sanathar Dharma,
04:43Hinduism also protects the woman?
04:45No, I am asking.
04:47So, our life, our duty is to satisfy the woman
04:51or satisfy the Lord
04:53or engage the service of the Lord.
04:55The brother has a question.
04:56Is our duty to satisfy the woman
04:57or to satisfy the Lord?
04:59Yeah.
05:01The brother has a question.
05:02That what is our duty?
05:03To satisfy the woman,
05:05there is love, there is lust
05:06or to satisfy Almighty God?
05:09Before I come to your Sanathar Dharma,
05:10I will tell what Islam says.
05:13As Allah says in the Quran,
05:14I said in my talk
05:15in Suray Room,
05:16chapter number 30, verse number 21,
05:18that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
05:19has created for you
05:20mates from amongst yourself
05:22so that you may dwell in tranquility
05:24and He has put love and mercy
05:26between your hearts.
05:27That means Allah has created for you
05:29of your nature mates,
05:31your wives, your spouses,
05:33so that you may dwell in tranquility.
05:35You get tranquility, you get calmness.
05:37And Almighty God has put love
05:39between your hearts.
05:40Once, our beloved Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
05:44that even having sex
05:49with your wife,
05:52it is charity.
05:55Sahab Adhaas,
05:56even having sex is charity?
05:58How?
05:59So the reply came,
06:00because you are having it lawfully.
06:02If you have it unlawfully
06:05with the woman who is not your wife,
06:08it becomes prohibited.
06:09So because you are enjoying lawfully,
06:11even that is charity,
06:13that is khair,
06:13that's a good deed.
06:15So having sex with your wife,
06:17also Almighty God rewards you.
06:20And you rightly said
06:21that there is love
06:23and there is lust.
06:25I too have read Sanatana Dharma
06:26and appreciate
06:28the oneness of God
06:30mentioned Sanatana Dharma.
06:32You know Hinduism
06:32has got various different sects,
06:34you may be aware of that.
06:36Various different denominations.
06:37The highest scripture,
06:39there is Shruti
06:40and there is Smriti.
06:41Shruti,
06:42according to Hindu scripture,
06:43means the word of God.
06:44And Vedas are the highest.
06:46They believe in one God.
06:48They believe Almighty God
06:48has got no images.
06:49I can give quotations.
06:51You can see my video cassette.
06:52similarities between
06:53Islam and Hinduism.
06:56But,
06:56should we
06:57satisfy the woman
06:58or should we satisfy God?
07:00Number one,
07:01I said in my talk,
07:02the basic aim of every human being,
07:04whether man or woman,
07:05should be to satisfy
07:06Almighty God.
07:09Now while satisfying
07:10Almighty God,
07:11you may satisfy the woman,
07:12you may not satisfy.
07:14If she is a good,
07:15pious woman,
07:16she will be satisfied
07:17if you are satisfying
07:18Almighty God.
07:20For example,
07:21Almighty God says,
07:22have sex only with your wife.
07:24A pious woman,
07:25who is a mausana,
07:25will be happy.
07:26But a lustful woman,
07:28she will not be happy.
07:30She is a vire following God,
07:31follow me.
07:33She may be
07:33khutwatu shaitan.
07:35She may be a
07:35footstep of the devil.
07:37You ask me questions
07:38about Krishna.
07:40That Krishna gave advice
07:41to Arjun.
07:43Since you mentioned Krishna,
07:46he is supposed to be
07:47a role model
07:47for the Hindus.
07:50And we read in
07:50Mahabharat.
07:52You know,
07:53I have given the talk
07:53on similarities,
07:54but because you asked
07:55this question.
07:56What we read in
07:57Mahabharat,
07:58that when Krishna,
07:59when he goes on
08:00the bank of the river,
08:03very often when the
08:04woman used to go
08:05to have a bath,
08:07he used to
08:07take the clothes away
08:09and run away.
08:10For what?
08:10For love or for lust?
08:15Because he is God,
08:17he can do,
08:17suppose I am
08:18honor of,
08:19I am,
08:20If God would like
08:21to rob clothes of
08:22women and run away
08:23to see them coming out,
08:24okay, come out
08:24without clothes,
08:25then why can't you
08:26and I do?
08:28If you can copy God,
08:29why can't you copy God?
08:30If we see,
08:31if you know this is
08:32the ultimate.
08:33See, we cannot copy God
08:35because God
08:35is on a different level.
08:36But if you consider
08:37Krishna to be God,
08:38and if God is doing
08:39something like taking
08:40away clothes of the woman
08:41and telling them
08:42come out without clothes,
08:44can you do that or not?
08:44You can do it very easily.
08:46That's what we find
08:47in Hindi movies.
08:49You know,
08:49we find all this.
08:50What I am trying to say,
08:51we should take the message
08:52which is right.
08:53I have read the
08:54Sanat and Dharam,
08:54there are many things
08:55which are good,
08:56hundreds of good things,
08:57thousands of good things.
08:58But what is not good?
09:00You have to leave it aside.
09:02I have given the talk
09:03on similarities
09:04between Islam and Hinduism.
09:05Now you speak about Krishna,
09:06talk about love,
09:07talk about lust.
09:08I appreciate many things
09:09of Christian.
09:10But not everything.
09:13Many things he said
09:14is right.
09:15He tells that
09:15be your Shatriya,
09:16fight against injustice,
09:18even be against
09:18your relatives.
09:20He says that
09:21in Bhagavad Gita,
09:22chapter number 2,
09:23verse number 31.
09:25Same thing in the Quran,
09:26Surah Nisa chapter 4,
09:27verse 135,
09:28that stand not for justice
09:30as witness to Allah
09:31subhanahu wa ta'ala,
09:32even if you be
09:33against yourself,
09:34against your relatives,
09:35against your father
09:35or mother.
09:36Allah protects
09:37so if what he is saying
09:39matches with my Quran,
09:40with the real word
09:41of Almighty God,
09:43accept it.
09:44But everything I don't
09:45accept it to be
09:46the word of God.
09:47That is the reason
09:48what I do.
09:48this is the Furkan.
09:53Furkan is the criteria
09:54to judge right from wrong.
09:56And if you read this,
09:57this is the last
09:59and final revelation
10:00of Almighty God
10:01which was revealed
10:02to humanity.
10:03If you read this,
10:04I challenge you to take out
10:06a single mistake in this.
10:07The other books
10:08that we have,
10:11the other religious scriptures,
10:12because of passage of time,
10:14they have been changed.
10:16Interpolation,
10:16concoction,
10:17who says that?
10:18Not I.
10:19The scholars of Christianity,
10:20they say that the Bible
10:22has not been maintained
10:23in the true form.
10:24The scholars of Mahabharaj say
10:26that initially Mahabharaj
10:28was a story
10:29told by the grandfather
10:30of Arjun
10:31to the people.
10:32Later on,
10:33the 8,000 shlokas
10:34became 24,000 shlokas.
10:36Now we have more than
10:36100,000 shlokas.
10:37Interpolation,
10:38addition.
10:39So what has been added?
10:40I cannot accept
10:41that God Almighty
10:43leave us at God.
10:44Even the prophet of God
10:45can do such things.
10:46What I say,
10:47this may be an interpolation.
10:50I respect
10:50the messengers of God.
10:53But if you say
10:54that these people
10:55are saintly people,
10:57no saintly people
10:57will do what I consider.
10:59Okay,
10:59this may be an interpolation.
11:01This may be a concoction.
11:02So therefore,
11:03I request you
11:04to read a book
11:05which is 100%
11:06pure
11:06without any interpolation.
11:09Allah has promised
11:09in the Quran
11:10in Surah Hijar
11:11chapter number 15
11:12verse number 9
11:13that we have revealed
11:14the Quran
11:14and we shall guard
11:15from corruption.
11:16Almighty God
11:17has taken him
11:17upon himself
11:18that he will
11:19prevent any corruption
11:20in it.
11:21From this,
11:22if you read,
11:23you get the pure rights
11:24that the woman
11:24can have in this world.
11:26Hope that answers
11:26the question.
11:27may we have the next question
11:32from the Jensai
11:34in the rear.
11:37This is
11:37Shekhar here.
11:40I am so grateful
11:40to the IRF
11:41that we get this opportunity
11:43to ask you some questions.
11:45And for the first time
11:47I have seen you
11:48and I am glad
11:49that I can ask you
11:50a simple question.
11:50I am a businessman
11:53and one of my,
11:55rather my only hobby
11:57is studying religions.
11:59So one of them
12:00obviously
12:01being the Quran.
12:03So my question
12:04is fairly simple.
12:05Like I really liked
12:07what you spoke
12:07about Aisha.
12:08That was a very
12:09wonderful thing
12:10that you said.
12:11So my question
12:13is fairly simple.
12:14I make it very small.
12:15But I really hope
12:16that I have
12:16the opportunity
12:17to cross question you
12:18after you answer me.
12:19on your answer.
12:24So we see
12:26in Muslim
12:26book number 4
12:28number 2 and 2.7
12:30wherein it says
12:31a part of it that is
12:32he stuck me
12:34Aisha on the chest
12:35which caused me pain.
12:38Further down
12:39if you look at
12:40Mishkat al-Masabi
12:42volume 2
12:43page number 690
12:45repeated again
12:46in Muslim
12:46book number 9
12:48number 3506
12:50a part of it
12:51I will just get
12:51to the point
12:52wherein Umar
12:53is trying to say
12:54to the prophet
12:55or rather trying
12:56to make him laugh
12:57he says
12:58messenger of God
12:59I wish you had
13:00seen the daughter
13:00of Kharija
13:01where she asked
13:03me for extra money
13:04and I got up
13:05and slapped her
13:06on the neck.
13:07God's messenger
13:08laughed and said
13:09they are around me
13:10as you see
13:11asking for extra money.
13:13Abu Bakr
13:14then got up
13:15went to Aisha
13:15and slapped her
13:16on the neck
13:17and Umar
13:18did the same
13:19to Hafsa.
13:20Now we see
13:20something of a
13:21pattern coming in
13:21then if you just
13:23jump to Quran
13:24chapter 4
13:25verse 34
13:26and those wives
13:28you fear
13:28may be rebellious
13:30admonish
13:31banish them
13:32to the couches
13:32and beat them.
13:34Now as I
13:35understand from
13:36your talk
13:37that there is
13:37equal punishment
13:39for both man
13:39and woman
13:40I am not contending
13:41whether they should
13:42be beaten or not.
13:43My point is
13:43what is the
13:45right of the
13:46woman
13:46if the man
13:47is wrong
13:48because he
13:49gets to beat
13:50her up.
13:53That's a very
13:54good question
13:54and I give you
13:55the right to
13:55cross question
13:56me after the
13:56answer.
13:58It is granted.
13:59The brother
14:00quoted Hadith
14:00of Sahih Muslim
14:01and Mishkat
14:02and Masabi.
14:04Do you know
14:04the relationship
14:05between Hafsa
14:06and Hadat
14:07Umar?
14:07Well I have not
14:08really got to
14:08the point that
14:09but I am
14:09still studying.
14:10Do you know
14:11the relationship
14:11of Aisha and
14:12Abu Bakr
14:13her father
14:15if I am not
14:15mistaken?
14:16That's right.
14:18I am asking
14:18a question.
14:20Are you married?
14:22Yes.
14:22Yes.
14:24Do you have
14:24a daughter?
14:26Two of them.
14:27Two of them.
14:27Fine.
14:28I get to go
14:28to heaven.
14:29Sorry?
14:30I get to go
14:30to heaven.
14:31No.
14:32If you bring
14:33them up correctly
14:34with love and
14:35compassion then
14:36you will go
14:36to heaven.
14:37Otherwise not.
14:38But
14:38that is only
14:41righteous deed.
14:42Without demand
14:42you can't
14:43enter Jannah.
14:43So for you
14:44to go to
14:45heaven besides
14:46bringing your
14:47two daughters
14:47correctly you
14:48have to follow
14:49the laws of
14:49the Quran and
14:50the Hadith and
14:51be a believer.
14:52That we'll
14:52discuss after
14:53answer to you.
14:53I understand.
14:54After answer
14:54Inshallah.
14:55I'm asking a
14:56simple question.
14:57Suppose your
14:58daughter if she
14:59wants to jump
15:00from a 10
15:00story building
15:01what will you
15:01do?
15:02I'll stop her.
15:04If she's
15:05adamant what
15:06will you do?
15:08Point yeah.
15:08You get the
15:09point.
15:09very good.
15:10If she
15:10wants to
15:10jump no
15:10I want to
15:11go.
15:12I want to
15:12fly like
15:12Superman.
15:15Dad you
15:15are preventing
15:16me from
15:16being a
15:17superman.
15:18What will
15:18you do?
15:19Well I'll
15:20stop her
15:21obviously.
15:21Will you
15:21slap her or
15:22not?
15:23If required.
15:24She says
