0:00hello Dr zacher Nike my name is Harris
0:03I'm from Phoenix Arizona in the United
0:06States I'm an entrepreneur and a
0:08marketing
0:09manager two of my friends in America
0:12have converted uh watching YouTube
0:14videos of you uh one of them a Christian
0:17one of them an
0:19atheist one of my friends um presented
0:22me with how to deal with an atheist DVD
0:26of yours which I did watch U but that
0:29didn't end answer my question and I've
0:31asked this question to a lot of people
0:32with no satisfactory answers a lot of
0:35intelligent people of all the scholars
0:37that I've ever watched on YouTube in my
0:40opinion you are the most rational
0:43logical easy to understand kind of
0:45scholar that I've ever come across in my
0:50life and it is really important that
0:53this question is answered cuz I've never
0:54had a satisfactory answer for this
0:56question uh my question is like a CO
0:58with two sides the first side of it is
1:01this and this is the question I'm
1:02somewhere between an atheist and
1:03agnostic I'm not sure where um God has
1:08created this entire universe and the
1:10Quran speaks a lot about how it has
1:12taken so many days and mountains and
1:15this and that and the life is going to
1:16be a test and whatnot my question
1:20is way before God decided to create this
1:24entire universe before he decided to put
1:27human beings before he decided to send
1:29prophet Muhammad or Adam and Eve way
1:32before he even planned about doing any
1:34of this he knew the end result of it he
1:38knows in the end he will be disappointed
1:41by certain people and He will throw them
1:43in Hellfire he knows they will be
1:45burning he knows they'll be tortured and
1:48that that is when they'll be repenting
1:50for what they've done way before he
1:52created the entire universe he knows the
1:55outcome is going to be bad it may be
1:58good for certain people who are in
1:59heaven but he knows that he can save
2:01those people from being in Hell way
2:04before he even decided to go ahead with
2:06the creation yet he decides to go ahead
2:08with it with all his Godly logic why
2:12would he want to do that the question if
2:15I can just put it in this manner how can
2:17God be so sadistic that he would
2:19actually go ahead with a plan which he
2:21knows is going to end up in that manner
2:22that's the first side of the coin the
2:24second side of the coin is for some
2:26reason if I believe that okay God is all
2:28Almighty and he understood everything is
2:30great God is great why is God insisting
2:34in the Quran that look at the mountains
2:36look at the protons the electrons this
2:38and that everything is so synchronized
2:40how amazing I am why is he forcing us to
2:43find his creation amazing when it is a
2:45piece of cake for God I mean he just had
2:47to say Kun and it was done then why is
2:50it a big deal if God has made this
2:52entire universe which is so amazing
2:54because for God it's nothing so I should
2:56not be really amazed at his creation he
2:58can do much more than this so I do
3:00understand why he wants us to respect
3:02what he's done or find it amazing what
3:03he has done the brother asked a very
3:06good question and a very intellectual
3:08question it's a very good question and
3:11you have seen some of my tapes on
3:14YouTube even of atheism and this
3:17question that is troubling him he hasn't
3:19got the answer to the brother as the
3:21question that almighty God knows
3:24everything before he created the Heaven
3:26and the Earth before he created human
3:28being even if person goes to he could
3:31avoid that hell he could have avoided
3:34that I mean he could avoid being
3:35disappointed of course I'll reply the
3:38brother said even if one person goes to
3:40hell it is as though God would be
3:44disappointed now coming to your question
3:47I started a school I started a school
3:50and you may have heard Islamic
3:53international school if a teacher takes
3:55an
3:56examination if she's just
4:00while she is giving the examination she
4:03writes in the math paper 2 plus 2 equal
4:05to how much the student in front of her
4:09or him the teacher write five she can
4:13very well tell the student change 5
4:17to4 would it be just on the teacher
4:21during the test and examination to
4:23correct a student who's writing a wrong
4:25answer right but if she has an option
4:27that the student doesn't need to do any
4:28of that and still I'm asking a simple
4:31question I'm asking a simple question
4:33the teacher has given the question paper
4:35all the student informed about for that
4:38particular situation for that particular
4:40situation the teacher can tell dear
4:43student change 5 to 4 what will the
4:46other students think about unjust but
4:49God can be just at the same time he can
4:51create a complete completely different
4:52condition he doesn't have to go ahead
4:53with that situation he's not bound by
4:55any situation brother saying go almighty
4:57God can create something which is
4:59perfect and will not make mistake
5:00correct that God has already done he
5:02created the Angels God created the
5:05Angels the angel never go against any
5:08commandment of God but human being is a
5:11better creation than Angel the angels
5:13have got no free will of their own if
5:15you have heard my tapes if you have not
5:16heard I'll tell you now the angels are a
5:19creation of almighty God but not the
5:20best creation almighty God created the
5:23human beings the human beings have a
5:25free will to go against God or to follow
5:28God if you have ch to a human being if
5:31you disobey Commandments you go to hell
5:33if you obeys Commandments you're
5:35Superior than the angel because the
5:37angel doesn't have a free will of his
5:40own then he follows God it's nothing
5:42great the human beings are the better
5:44creation of almighty God almighty God
5:47has given a free will that's a different
5:50question that almighty God knows because
5:53he hasab he has knowledge of the future
5:56he is more Superior so he has created
5:58such a creation which has a free will
6:01the fault is of human being not God no
6:04but God has created us with that fault
6:06and he knows he not fault not fault it's
6:09not fault brother it is free will why is
6:11he given us a free will when he knows
6:12he's going to eventually put these many
6:14people in hell why is it doing when
6:16something that is a different creation
6:18like would you want to create something
6:20which can think on its own or would you
6:22want why someone so compassionate be can
6:24brother that's what tell you what you
6:26want God has already created angel I'm
6:28asking you which is better an angel
6:30following almighty God or a human being
6:32following almighty God which is better
6:34for me absolutely if I get a second
6:36chance I would want to be an angel why
6:37would I risk Second Chance correct
6:40that's why almighty God says in Surah
6:42chapter number 7 verse number 172
6:45almighty God B all the human beings from
6:48the Lain of Adam and asked them is there
6:51one God all agreed almighty God says in
6:53Surah hashar chapter 59 verse number 21
6:56if almighty God revealed the Quran on
6:59the mountain the mountain would shut
7:02down almighty God says in Surah 33 verse
7:05number 72 it is the human beings who
7:07were fools who said we want to be human
7:09beings you and I you and I were fools
7:12now you cannot backtrack once you said
7:15you want to appear for the test once you
7:17read the test paper nobody asked me
7:19that's they asked Adam and Eve no
7:21brother Quran says every human being was
7:24asked and then it is washed off this
7:26memory is washed off if the memory is a
7:29away the test almighty God says in the
7:31Quran do you want to be a human being if
7:33you become a human being you can become
7:36Superior to an angel or can get inferior
7:39if you don't want to become a human
7:40being just pass even for argument that
7:44please let me complete you ask the
7:46question all right goad if you interject
7:48how will answer sure go ahead so
7:50almighty God asks the human beings and
7:52the Quran says we human beings were
7:55fools you and I both were fools who
7:58opted
8:00for the test now once you undergo a test
8:03if you follow the Commandment after free
8:05will you be superior to an angel if you
8:08disobey Allah you become inferior to an
8:10angel we wanted to pass with distinction
8:13you and I you and I you told I don't
8:16remember of course you will not remember
8:19and even I don't remember but I believe
8:21in the Quran on the day of judgment
8:23almighty God says not a single human
8:26being will object to the justice of
8:28Allah that will come to know on the day
8:30of judgment only thing we'll say please
8:33give us one more chance almighty God
8:35will say it's too late because if he
8:37wants to give you a new chance then I'll
8:38have to come back in the world
8:40again again everyone so those who failed
8:44he can't get only the failures so the
8:46Quran says no one will ever object on
8:49the justice of Allah they will request
8:51Allah give us one more chance allmighty
8:53God is a too late almighty God gives us
8:56chances in this world itself you make a
8:58mistake Allah gives you chance to repent
9:01you repent Allah forgives you again you
9:03make a mistake all the once you die it's
9:06only one so as far as the first question
9:08is concerned Why did God create because
9:10it's a better creation any logical
9:13person including you has to agree that a
9:16person who has a free will is a better
9:18creation than a person who has no free
9:19will only your question you don't
9:21remember is perfectly right when you die
9:23when you're resurrected that time you
9:25and I will meet then you will say I
9:28remember even I don't remember now but I
9:30have faith in the Quran that Quran
9:32cannot be wrong because scientifically
9:34if you heard my lecture 80% of the Quran
9:38is 100% matching with science 20% is
9:42ambiguous neither right neither wrong so
9:44my logic says when 80% is 100% correct
9:47and not even. 1% of the 20% is wrong so
9:51my logic says even this 20% would be
9:53right I'm a scientific person I'm a
9:55logical person so I believe in the
9:57statement of the Quran that we chose
10:00if you wouldn't have chosen you could
10:02have questioned God why did you make me
10:03a human being then God would have been
10:06at fault but God says in the Quran he
10:09asked the mountains were afraid
10:13everything else were afraid we human
10:15beings opted for this but do you
10:17remember being asked I don't remember
10:19being asked brother question if you
10:21heard my answer even I don't remember
10:24but if you remember the where is the
10:26test imagine if a teacher teaches you
10:29something teacher teaches you something
10:32teacher gives you the book the teacher
10:34has to take away the book for the test
10:36if the teacher says okay take the book
10:38and answer where is the test okay but
10:42what after the examination is over you
10:44can go home and check or not but even
10:46before the exam began God know brother
10:49brother listen to me after the
10:50examination over can you go and check
10:52home or not in the textbook absolutely
10:54but during the examination can you check
10:56no so now the examination is going on
10:58brother once it's over you can
11:02check if you tell teacher teacher I want
11:04to see the textbook I don't remember no
11:07during the examination you cannot refer
11:10to the textbook it will be called
11:12cheating correct so once the examination
11:15is over if you don't remember you tell
11:18God what is this
11:19illogical but Quran says not a single
11:22human being will object to the Justice
11:25let the T get over so today I being a
11:28scientific person I being a logical
11:31person based on my knowledge of science
11:33based on my logic when I read the other
11:35scriptures and when I read the Quran I
11:38find Quran is the only book only
11:40religious scripture on the face of the
11:42Earth which passes this test so
11:44therefore I being a scientific person
11:47being a logical person agree okay fine
11:50this statement of the Quran also has to
11:51be right I don't remember that's the
11:54test if I remember where is the
11:56test so that answers the first part of
11:58the question
11:59first part that saying that God was
12:03sadist God is Not sadist for example I
12:07start a Medical
12:08College I want the school students to go
12:11to Medical how many students who go to
12:13school enter the Medical College just
12:16roughly can you guess few surely less
12:19than
12:205% less than maybe
12:221% so why did you make a college where
12:25only one person can enter fine it is for
12:28Selected Few so same way God made Heaven
12:32jna J everyone cannot go to J why not
12:37sorry why not why can't every why can't
12:40everyone go to Medical College cuz it's
12:42human capacity if if humans were capable
12:45of being able to put everyone in Medical
12:46College they would that's the way we are
12:48made the same way everyone cannot become
12:51a doctor only those who have the
12:53capacity same way everyone cannot go to
12:56J the high levels of paradise we have to
12:59strive God has given you capacity if you
13:02don't follow his guidance you cannot if
13:04you follow his guidance to go to jna is
13:06very
13:07easy if you're intelligent it's very
13:10easy if you're intelligent and if you
13:13are truthful to yourself but if you're
13:15not truthful to yourself even a
13:18non-intelligent man can go to Jenna only
13:20thing you should be
13:21truthful God has given you different
13:24options how to follow him some people
13:28think they are smart
13:29SM I tell them they're extra smart if
13:33they were smart they would see it is
13:35Crystal Clear in black in white that
13:38this is the word of God you have to
13:39follow it that's the reason Francis
13:42Bacon said little knowledge of science
13:45makes you an atheist in-depth knowledge
13:47of science makes you a believer in
13:50God so I wouldn't say God is sadist I
13:54said we were fools who opted to undergo
13:57the test not not God God gave you an
14:01option what do you want to be we choose
14:04so we are responsible not God God is not
14:07a sadist we are fools that's what the
14:09Quran says on the day of judgment you'll
14:11come to know inshallah you and I both
14:15inshallah if I go to Jah inshallah
14:18inshallah I'll pray to God I'll thank
14:19God you know I was a good person I
14:21choose to be a human being if you pass
14:23that if you fail then we will Cur our
14:26own self hope that answer the question
14:27the second part sorry what was the
14:29second part that even if I believe how
14:32Almighty he is how knowledgeable he is
14:34why is he so bent on convincing us look
14:37at the mountains look at the electrons
14:38look at the protons the second part of
14:40the question was that why does almighty
14:43God give references of the mountain that
14:46he's created this for him it is peanuts
14:49so why is he talking you know why is he
14:51saying he's saying these peanut things
14:53Mountain they would shudder you human
14:56being who Superior why don't you
14:58understand Quran says in Surah hashar 59
15:01verse number 21 had the Quran been
15:03revealed on the mountain the mountain
15:05would have fallen
15:06down to utter ruin but to us human
15:09beings it makes no difference he's
15:11giving these examples to show that these
15:13things which are so powerful the
15:16mountains Etc which he has created would
15:18have submitted the will why don't you
15:21human being do he's trying to give an
15:23example that we are fools he's not
15:26trying to praise himself and whenever he
15:29ask to praise him or when he says for
15:32Allah
15:33abbar God is the greatest do you think
15:38it will change Allah no whether you say
15:41a thousand times Allah abbar or a
15:43million times he cannot become greater
15:45he's already the greatest the reason we
15:48Face these things is because it is our
15:51human mentality our human nature that we
15:54follow the people who are famous we
15:56follow the people who we praise for
15:58example
15:59your mother has a heart
16:01attack there's unknown person on the
16:03street who gives you the
16:06treatment and you heard that the best
16:09heart specialist in the world is Dr
16:12X now will you follow Dr X's advice or
16:15the person on the street who you don't
16:17know Dr X why because Dr X is famous
16:20people know him he's the best in the
16:22world so the reason in our Salah in our
16:25life we say Allah abbar Allah is the
16:27greatest Allah is the most most wise
16:29Allah is the most intelligent why if we
16:32say that it doesn't benefit Allah it
16:35benefits us that if we praise him we
16:37follow him if we follow we go to jna to
16:40Allah it makes no
16:43difference therefore Allah says will you
16:45not then believe will you not then
16:47understand that means the Quran is
16:49revealed to the people for understanding
16:52so he's giving this example not to make
16:54himself great he's already the greatest
16:58whether you say million times Allah is
17:00the greatest it will not make a
17:01difference to Allah he's telling it to
17:04you Allah says in the Quran Allah does
17:06not require you you require him so when
17:10we praise him it is human psychology
17:12that the person you praise person you
17:15talk great about you tend to follow his
17:17advice by following his advice it will
17:19benefit you it will not benefit him he's
17:22already the greatest he's already the
17:23merciful so these are rules and
17:25regulation laid down he is our creator
17:28he knows our mindset you are a student
17:30of science correct I'm also a student of
17:32science the moment I come to know Allah
17:35mentioned these scientific facts which
17:37we came to know today 50 years back it
17:41increases my faith in Allah Allah says
17:44in Surah 41:
17:5153 soon we should show them our signs in
17:54the furest regions of the horizons and
17:56into their soul until it is clear to
17:58them that this is the truth so Allah is
18:01giving these examples so that benefits
18:03us for him it makes no
18:06difference it is benefiting us so he is
18:09giving us a
18:10chance to follow him so that we can go
18:13to heaven hope answer the question
18:15brother I recognize his power and I
18:17understand he's amazing and all that
18:19that he's done but am I expected to be
18:22amazed at his achievements at creating
18:24this universe because for me for him
18:25it's like a 1 second job correct right
18:28so for him which is one second job when
18:30he tells you not to have alcohol if you
18:33have alcohol sure but can I expect it to
18:34be amazed at his creation no see the
18:37thing is that that he's not there to
18:39prove himself better if you believe that
18:41for him it is peanuts so will a person
18:44lie no so if he said don't have alcohol
18:47you will not question him no don't have
18:49poke you will not question him yeah but
18:51I'm not amazed at his creation because
18:52for him it's nothing compared to us it's
18:55amazing for him it's nothing right but
18:58compared as a person who can create the
19:00universe when he tells me not to have
19:03alcohol I immediately
19:05follow sure I don't mind following him
19:07but do I have to be amazed at his
19:09creation as is said in the Quran see as
19:12you ask the question should I be amazed
19:14at the creation right I would say if I
19:18believe human being is a better creation
19:21then yes I'm amazed and then I said
19:23alhamdulillah he has made me better than
19:25that so if I'm amazed he made the
19:28mountains he made the Stars he made the
19:30Sun ah but he made Zak Nik also he made
19:34a human being and we are the best of
19:36creation so he give this examples so
19:39that we realize what benefit he has
19:42given to us all the favors he has given
19:44to us talking about the signs talking
19:46about the protons talking about the
19:48mountains finally he says human beings
19:51are the best creation so in
19:54comparison we have to agree that our
19:57creator has created this human body the
19:59molecules the DNA the complex thing
20:02which can never come by chance so in
20:05this way we are amazed at the creation
20:08of the human being and then we submit to
20:12him if you're are not amazed only by
20:15being amazed we submit that he is our
20:18creator he is worth worshiping no one
20:21else can do that this is so that we
20:25worship Him and we pass the test and we
20:27go to paradise
20:29hope that aners the question if Bill
20:31Gates gives me $100 should I be amazed
20:33that he has given me that money I
20:35believe that the question has been
20:36answered and unfortunately we are very
20:38constricted for time you are welcome to
20:40come back tomorrow inshallah as with all
20:42of the brothers and sisters we have come
