Discussion on Religious Beliefs and Texts

Are you a Christian brother? Are you a non-Muslim?

I'm a non-Muslim.

Okay, what's your name and your profession, brother?

Okay, my name is Benson Sunday, and I'm a software engineer.

Okay, my-- which is that, um, I should have also be a Muslim

today, if not for this question that is not answered.

In the year two thousand and eight, you might have been a Muslim.

Becau- but because of this question that I could not get an answer

for-

Okay

... and maybe some other one, but this was a very crucial one for me.

But now if you get the answer, you'll become a Muslim, inshallah.

Just wait. Uh, if you could answer it, no problem.

And the question goes like this.

What is the question, brother?

The question is that

being a m-- being a Christian, I discovered to go to paradise

is just to believe in

Jesus Christ and follow him, and you get to paradise.

Now, but after a friend bought me a Quran in

two thousand

and seven, two thousand and eight, and we start reading, I begin to-- I found

out in some references that all

Muslims

will first of all go to hellfire

and be burned in hellfire

before-

Sorry, can you repeat all Muslims will?

All Muslims-

Can you keep quiet, brothers and sisters?

There are reference to these things.

I am not saying it-

Can you be quiet, please?

This is from the Quran and from the Hadiths.

Wait, uh, I cannot hear you.

What's the use of you speaking when I cannot hear you?

No, no, no.

Please wait.

Brothers, sisters, if you, if you want to stop the program,

you stop it.

Do you want to stop the program?

No.

So please keep quiet. When someone is p-posing a question, please keep

quiet.

When there is time to clap, you can clap.

When there is time to say Takbir, say Takbir.

Rest of the time, please keep silent.

Jazakallah shukran. Yes, brother.

Okay, so I repeat that after studying it in

that two thousand

and seven, two thousand and eight, I find out some Quranic

references

and,

um, Hadith also explain it, some Hadith, even Sahih Hadiths,

which are strong Hadiths, um, that no-- all

Muslims will taste hell. They will pass through hell before they

get to paradise. And I, being a Christian, I look at it,

that

how can I

that says go to paradise directly without hellfire,

and one say you have to go through fire

with, uh, and after that you go to paradise.

Even some, some, uh, Hadiths even says that the Prophet-

I heard your question. I got your question.

Okay.

The brother said that in... And I repeat your question in short.

Thank you.

The brother said in two hundred-- two thousand and eight,

he would have become a

Muslim. He was going to become Muslim, but he read the Quran.

And the Quran says all the Muslim will first go to hell.

After hell, then they will go to heaven, and even the Prophet

himself will first go to hell.

Maryam, verse number-

Shh. Will you all keep quiet?

Will you all behave yourself?

If you all don't know how to behave yourself when a non-Muslim

is asking a question

on the Quran, and you all are screaming, shame on you.

Shame on you. A non-Muslim wants to know about the

Quran.

He wants to accept Islam, and you all are shouting.

What's happened to the Muslim ummah?

Brother, what's your name?

My name is Benson.

Benson?

Yes.

Benson?

Yes.

Brother Benson, I doubt whether you wanted to accept Islam

in two thousand and

eight.

I want to.

Very good.

My best friend-- Let, let me, let me give you a n-narration about it.

My best friend, who is a Muslim, I'm a Christian, we share everything

in common, is the one that we discovered

that the only thing we didn't share in

common-

But now do you know you made a mistake?

Your friend may not be an expert in the Quran, correct?

My, my friend is a Christian today.

Two thousand and twelve, he has become a Christian,

and he's in Afar.

Your friend-

He became a Christian.

Your friend, according-- that's the reason your friend

that told you doesn't know

the Quran, and you misguided him.

No, he misguided himself.

So you misguided. Instead of him taking you to Islam,

you took

him from the right path to the wrong path.

I told you first, your friend doesn't know the Quran.

You misguided him.

And now if you make a mistake, say sorry at least.

He does. He's... No, he does.

Say at least sorry.

No.

Say sorry I made a mistake.

No, I didn't make any mistake.

Okay, then, then you don't accept your mistake,

then you're a liar according to me.
