right so people saying very quickly just an appendage to what I just said some people saying what do you say about the verse where Adam uh that the similitude of Adam of Jesus is like unto Adam say that um it's a beautiful verse it's one of my most you know honestly I totally love that verse in the Quran because in that verse they are asking about the you see the people were trying to say that Jesus didn't have a dad

0:37

but the Quran you see because the Quran it's very important for the Muslims that they that they had that that they had that bond with the Christians it was very important because Muslims right to the north the entire because you had the sassanids who were not really um relating to the Arabs um and you had the the byzantines who were Christians who had many Christian Arabs and then in the South you had the axemite kingdoms who were Christian

1:14

Arabs and you so really you just had hijas in the middle and they didn't identify with assassin zoroastrians so really the important thing was the people of the book that Allah says in the Quran oh people at book Let's make let's come to a middle ground let's let's not worry about our differences let's focus on the what we have in common this is what the Quran says what the prophet did in Medina the government of Madina is he got the Jews and the Christians together and he said that the ending of it which

1:52

is in in the the prophet we the Jews the Christians the Believers Muslims We Are One ummah let's momentarily forget our differences so here when they are asking about this the verse it's just amazing you know this is the miracle of the Quran the verse says oh Jesus because it's saying he doesn't have a dad the verse never said he doesn't have a dad the first says oh he is like Adam he's from dust Allah said beer he was

2:31

[Laughter] beautiful breathtaking because in this verse everybody just went ah okay and they went with whatever story they had see because many people had the story that Adam didn't have a mum and dad so they went with that but then one would say but you see because if you look at this verse what is it actually saying a little bit Jesus is like Adam but I thought Jesus had a mom say yeah said but so did so that means Adam had a mom

3:11

say oh no no no we're just talking about the dad he said but but the verse is saying he's like Adam say oh yeah but that's talking just about the dad say oh but Allah says he's from dust so also Jesus was just made out of this oh no no Jesus was made artist he was given birth to also that means Adam was also given birth he said but he wasn't made it say ah but Allah said so he wasn't even made out of dust he was just made to be

3:50

say yeah oh no but he was made out of dust oh no but he had a mom so he had him no oh he was just told B and he was no so he was just told B and he was yeah but I thought he was made out of dust oh no he was made out of dust first oh so he wasn't just said B and he was it's a beautiful verse it shows that honestly this is the Quran it speaks so miraculously to you because in that

4:27

verse lay all your answers because the day you understand that because you see this was left for people of all time in that day and age those people who took the Christian thing said ah see well Jesus Adam didn't have a dad Jesus didn't have a dad some people say well but you know Jesus had a mum so did Adam have a mom and and then you go forward and people say well Evolution Evolution took place obviously the clearly it's in our DNA

5:06

you can't so you say well well here Allah did say it's like Adam you see well if he was given birth to then he was given birth to see that the beauty of the Quran it unlocks gems for you know for the unforeseeable future because wow the Legacy honestly and it's amazing you see the other verse of the Quran the speaking about Adam

5:45

that oh is it that um created from clay from the this is what we created inside from what did they say in the tafsir of that they say it's insanis who created insan from clay say Adam what does the next verse say who then we placed him

6:24

not or is it not for that we placed him as a sperm in in a settled which is the womb so here people get stuck again say up uh okay this no this is an Adam said but I thought the other verse was Adam oh no no the verse before we created insan

6:53

an extract of this some kind of gooey extract from of clay of of dust okay but then we made him uh a drop of sperm to be fertilized in in in a womb said no yet that is Adam but this is is a different person but it says but we made him it didn't say we made the next person he says who then we placed him is the hymn not going back to the first person yeah but in this case it's so here people got stuck so some people said

7:33

yeah well maybe Allah created Adam said as well elaborating oh uh okay so this is Adam and this one is okay some said it's a so maybe Allah created an artificial womb in which he placed this this is what Sam scholar said that they said well one Allah created Adam out of clay maybe he made like an artificial womb and placed him in that so Allah created him out of clay but then made him into a drop of sperm and put him in an artificial womb and then

8:08

but there were already wounds around so so it depends look this is the beauty whichever way you go but it comes back to that same thing do you want to go confessionally do you want to go rationally so whichever way you go it's your choice it's your faith
