in this part of cross-examination we will ask some questions about religions are you ready I'm ready why are there so many True Religions wasn't it possible for a religion to be prescribed at the time of prophet Adam peace be upon him and for all humans to follow that religion only they say religion is opium that is the rulers make people sleep using religion and direct them according to their own wishes is there really such a thing can you prove that Islam is not a human invention how do you know that the Quran has not changed like the other books [Music] what is the need for religions and Prophets a religion and a prophet are necessary to understand the meaning of life we can understand it

as follows for example suppose we draw a picture in which we used all the colors in the world now if we displayed that painting in which we use so many colors in an exhibition area and invited people there it would be very illogical not to light up that place wouldn't it why because in a dark area where there is no light colors cannot be appreciated our use of color proves that we are going to illuminate it similarly the universe is like an artwork that has meanings like thousands of different colors when we look at it the universe for people to understand them to grasp thousands of meanings a prophetic light is necessary as we said the light is necessary to appreciate the colors of a

painting similarly the light of prophethood is necessary to understand the meanings in the universe besides we already see that Allah fulfills all our needs for us for example even just for the needs of our tongues and stomachs he created hundreds of thousands of types of food and drink Allahu meets the needs of our tongues and the needs of our stomachs would definitely send a profit for our greatest need our search for meaning to answer our fundamental questions like who am I where am I going but can people understand these meanings themselves without profits being sent to them can't they understand we can think of it like this for example suppose that there are many antique items in an

exhibition area like a very valuable table from the period of Sudan mehmed the Conqueror if we don't put a guide there to explain the value of it and that it's a very unique item people who go there may look at it as being worthless for example if its true value was five million dollars people may regard it as being worth only five dollars they may see it as something worth five dollars only so antiques can't be understood without a guide misunderstandings might occur similar to the example of antique table and its worth above man can try to interpret the meanings and artworks in the universe but the probability of being wrong is very high likewise when we look at people's thoughts right now

there are many different interpretations about the universe even today we can see that many people do not understand the meaning of the universe for example if someone looks at the sun right now do you think he infers something or does he just say the sun is 1.5 million times the size of Earth and does not care at all about it being a sign of God we are in a situation where we can't even understand the meaning of something let alone misinterpret it in other words it's only through the prophets guides sent by the one who created the universe himself that is a lock and real meanings be found can't religions be human inventions people can have wrong ideas wrong thoughts for example there are

false faiths such as Idol worshiping Sun worshiping and fire worshiping but Allah corrects these false faiths by sending the prophets Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was the last of these prophets sent to correct these false Fates what do we say in Islam anyway what does it mean we say there is no God worthy of worship but Allah so what do we do with all those false faiths false ideas in the first part we eliminate them by saying there is no true God what do we say next except Allah so there are false faiths here too the prophets came to correct them when we look at Islam we see that it proves the falsity of other religions and faiths it also proves to us that it is the only true religion

in other words there are false Fates invented by humans but Islam is not one of them can you prove that Islam is not a human invention well of course we can prove it when we look at Islam we see that it is a religion that convinces both the heart and the mind with wrong religions ideas and ideologies we see impossibilities Islam gives the most convincing answers to man's most basic questions for example who am I where did I come from why was I created what is the purpose of the existence of this universe where are we heading Islam gives the answers to the most important questions in a way that convinces people it proves that Islam is true also in terms of managing the society in terms of

managing people it offers us the most accurate information and methods for example it gives the system of zakat prohibits interest and together with the rules of Justice it gives the best management tools to manage a society and it gives it to us universally in other words no matter what era you live in you can always see the rules of Islam as a solution so we can see from it that Islam is true besides when we look at the Quran we can see that it is true with dozens of Miracles for example the Miracles about the the unknown or the miracle of eloquence or challenging people to bring a similar one something like it but though 1400 years have passed no one has been able to bring anything like

it like the existence of scientific facts that describe the universe with very accurate information we can see that it is true with all the information contained in it what is the miracle of eloquence when we say eloquence we can understand it like as follows we can understand it as the strength of its literary aspect that is the Quran has such Expressions that it sometimes expresses many meanings with one word and sometimes with one letter and this style of expression is at such a high quality level that man cannot write anything similar we can understand it like this how does the Quran address the people living in the period in which it was revealed it challenges them by saying bring a

similar one although rhetoric was at a high level at that time that people could not respond to the challenge and preferred to physically fight accepting the possibility of both their own death and the death of their families they preferred War over bringing or producing anything similar to the Quran in other words it means that the eloquence of the Quran surpasses human mind they say religion is opium that is the rulers make people sleep using religion and direct them according to their own wishes is there really such a thing first of all we need to distinguish Islam from the other religions because when you say religion it is a general term but when we look at Islam let alone making people

sleep it constantly encourages people to think it is a religion that warns people by saying research and reflect constantly don't you ever question can we say it makes people sleep of course not for example in other religions people can become very important as it is said managers want to use people but how is it in Islam knowledge is important in Islam the Holy Quran and the Sunnah two sources of knowledge so with Islam we're talking about a religion in which books and information are spoken about rather than people this means that a Muslim does not act under the pressure of anybody the information is clear the Quran is clear the Sunnah is clear thus people can decide their way when we look

at the basis of this discourse we see that it emerged after Christianity he was distorted in other words that Christianity is not a discourse that has anything to do with Islam people can be given very important positions in Christianity and other religions authority to forgive can be given to certain people however is this the case when we look at Islam No what do we say we say it is only Allah That Forgives let me even say this since Islam describes the world as a cultivating field of the Hereafter it is a religion that encourages people to work in the world and to do something productive in this world what as a person Works he gets to know Allah's name of arazak the sustainer naturally

since working is also a deed of worship it motivates people to work in this worldly life thus we are talking about a religion that encourages people to work let alone make them sleep we're talking about a religion that stimulates people to think and reason that is to say a statement such as the religion is opium its stupefies can never be valid for Islam if Islam is the True Religion why does Allah allow other religions to be distorted and spread wouldn't it be against the secret of testing just think about it there is only one True Religion it is Islam isn't it if Allah were to prevent the spread and existence of other religions with a coercive effect we couldn't talk about the testing

ground or a will there may be wrong ideas but what happens Allah sends prophets to correct those wrong ideas wrong views so what happens then in a way a wrong idea is corrected by the true idea here too it is up to the individual to choose the right path or wrong path with his Free Will in other words Islam is the True Religion then other religions should be prevented an inference like that is not a correct inference Islam is true it can be proved anyone who wishes can accept different ideas because they are in a testing place why are there so many True Religions in the time of prophet Adam peace be upon Him wasn't it possible for a religion to be sent and all Humanity to follow that single

religion firstly let me say this there is only one True Religion Islam other religions are not True Religions but if you ask why were so many religions sent since Prophet Adam peace be upon Him Allah sent 124 000 prophets because people distorted Islam normally rules were sent to the prophet Adam peace be upon him and rules were sent to the other prophets too but since they were distorted Allah corrected them with new knowledge and new prophets basically the information given by all the prophets was the same what tawheed the Oneness of Allah prophethood the Hereafter and Justice the prophets always gave the same information on these four principles well Allah did not allow the Quran to be

distorted was it not possible for him to prevent the first religion from being distorted by people yes of course it was possible for Allah not to allow it to be distorted but due to some wisdom Allah allowed it for example we can think of it like this we can think of the world Community as being in the field of testing in the field of Education in a way what happens to people's Lifestyles is thousands of years pass they are Diversified and shaped even in a single year we make changes in the clothes we wear don't we we wear short sleeve t-shirts in the summer and then change to sweaters in winter so even in one year if changes occur according to conditions according to the lifestyle of people

in the human world and according to their living conditions it is quite normal for different rules and information to be sent based on this wisdom Allah left those people alone with relation to Distortion we can also think of it this way as we've said we are in a field of education for example let's think of a school system there is a different education system in Primary School basic information is given but what happens to the information as we progress towards University education information becomes complex and detailed similarly the world of humanity has become increasingly detailed and information has Diversified based on this wisdom he allowed them to be distorted and with the new

prophets he detailed the education system and with Islam and Quran this education system has reached its final Point perfected yes I understand the Distortion of religions from ancient times but why were the religions of the new times such as the Bible and the Torah distorted but not the Quran now we need to look at the characteristics of the Quran the Quran is the last book Islam is the last religion and it is universal after that a new Prophet will not come a new character will not come the preservation of the Quran is a necessity of wisdom and it is quite reasonable if it's the last book and it's Universal and if it provides solutions to all the questions the preservation of the Quran is

common sense as people made mistakes as they distorted a book set to a prophet of God a new Prophet came and corrected those mistakes of people a new prophet and a new character constantly came and there were about a hundred and twenty four thousand prophets and Messengers naturally related to the issue of people's distorting in the issue of not protecting the book it is quite reasonable that they are tested on the one hand there were prophets sent separately to small societies on the other hand the Quran is a universal book that has been sent to All Humans and Jinn Genies it is the last book that is valid for all people and all times naturally the preservation of the Quran is quite logical

how do you know that the Quran has not changed like other books there's not even a single objection regarding this issue that is even if an atheist comes to argue he does not object to the fact that the Quran has not been changed because it is an issue known to everyone that the Quran has not been changed how can we understand it we can verify it in many ways for example when you get a copy of the Quran from somewhere in Istanbul and when you go somewhere in England and get a copy of the Quran you'll find that both are exactly the same there's no change in any place so we can understand that the Quran has been preserved because in case of a slight change hundreds of variations would occur or

we can think of it like this in Islam there is a system called the memorization system right what's that some people memorize the Quran completely from the beginning to the end even today there are millions of hafas memorizers of the Quran as we get closer to the light that is to the times of the Prophet peace be upon him we see that the people were strongly attached to the Quran the system of memorization started from there onwards so when we look at the memorization system we can clearly understand that the Quran has been preserved besides there is a tradition of muqabla in Ramadan right what is it every Ramadan the Quran is recited from the beginning to the end the continuation of this

tradition shows us that this knowledge was preserved and continued every year in addition pages of the Holy Quran were published on the website of the University of Birmingham what happened a copy of the Quran was found and when the carbon 14 test was done on it it was concluded that it was exactly the same as the original copies of the Quran so we are talking about a common view of the whole world there is no discussion let alone the change of a letter we are warned by the Quran teacher even when we make a small mistake like prolonging a vowel while reciting the Quran they the Quran teachers also warn you when you do not prolong it properly so there's no need to talk about the change of the

letters and the change of the Quran so many scientists and famous researchers do not have this information contained in the Quran and you Muslims know it rather than the number of people or their positions we need to look at the knowledge we need to look at the proof If there is proof somewhere people's comments are irrelevant similarly we look at the Quran we look at Islam it offers hundreds and thousands of irrefutable proofs in other words if there is evidence even if the whole world denies it it does not matter in fact Buddhism stated the following regarding this he who closes his eyes makes it dark only for himself foreign
