there are estimated 2.3 billion

[00:03]

Christians 1.9 billion Muslims 1.2

[00:07]

billion Hindus 50 million Jews and there

[00:09]

are estimated 4500 religions like these

[00:14]

but which one is a true religion and is

[00:17]

there even a need for a religion at all

[00:19]

a few months ago after asking a lot of

[00:22]

questions and doing a lot of research I

[00:24]

made my decision as a blunt European man

[00:27]

of 22 years old I found Islam as my True

[00:30]

Religion and I'm not the only one Islam

[00:33]

for the past few decades has been the

[00:36]

fastest growing religion in the world

[00:38]

but why is Islam the True Religion and

[00:42]

can we prove it I mean there are so many

[00:45]

religions so many different gods so many

[00:47]

beliefs what is the true religion in

[00:50]

this video we are about to find out all

[00:52]

my life I've been asking myself

[00:54]

questions like who am I what happens

[00:56]

after I die what is the purpose of of

[00:58]

this life some in me said that there had

[01:01]

to be more to life a deeper meaning a

[01:04]

purpose there has to be more than just a

[01:07]

few years we spent on this Earth so I

[01:09]

started doing research and looking for

[01:11]

more answers but how do you even start

[01:14]

researching and looking into 4500

[01:17]

religions and philosophical beliefs

[01:19]

that's impossible right I mean you can't

[01:22]

look into them one by one so I had to

[01:24]

use logical reasoning and a process of

[01:26]

elimination to filter them and find out

[01:28]

if there is a true religion at all in

[01:30]

this process I asked myself a lot of

[01:32]

questions like does God exist and can we

[01:35]

prove it what is the purpose of human

[01:37]

existence is there a need for a religion

[01:39]

at all is there a holy book and what is

[01:41]

the evidence that supports these claims

[01:44]

of a holy book now let's move through

[01:46]

this process together and use the

[01:48]

filtering process of elimination by

[01:50]

asking questions about the fundamental

[01:52]

parts of our religion or philosophical

[01:54]

belief the first question I asked myself

[01:57]

was is there a God and can we prove it

[02:00]

a question that people have been asking

[02:02]

themselves throughout history and there

[02:04]

are many ways to answer this question

[02:06]

but what I did was observing the

[02:07]

universe around us something we can all

[02:10]

see with our own eyes I mean what I

[02:12]

really realized is sometimes we take it

[02:14]

for granted and we accept everything

[02:16]

around us what we see without realizing

[02:18]

how unique and special it is I've always

[02:20]

been so impressed by the skill of the

[02:22]

universe the Stars the planets but also

[02:25]

the simple things on this earth like

[02:27]

trees water animals

[02:30]

sometimes I just couldn't sleep when I

[02:32]

was thinking about the skill and the

[02:34]

complexity of the universe around us and

[02:36]

then I started asking myself like is

[02:38]

this complex and immense Big Universe a

[02:41]

proof of a higher power Creator or is

[02:43]

the universe just the way it is but then

[02:47]

why is it the way it is all right let's

[02:49]

look at from a logical perspective

[02:51]

according to physics everything in the

[02:53]

universe is based on cause and effect

[02:56]

meaning if there is work that has been

[02:58]

done there must be a force in place that

[03:01]

is able to do that work nothing happens

[03:03]

without a reason or simply said Every

[03:06]

Act has a doer for example a tree

[03:08]

producing fruits a bee producing honey

[03:11]

or a cow producing milk Isaac Newton

[03:14]

Albert Einstein and many other famous

[03:16]

scientists and philosophers asserted

[03:18]

that we live in a world governed by law

[03:21]

not chance philosopher Plato stated that

[03:25]

everything happens for a reason whether

[03:26]

or not we know what it is he said that

[03:29]

every effect has a specific cause

[03:32]

everything that becomes or changes must

[03:35]

do so owning to some cause I mean sounds

[03:39]

logical right but we see the three as

[03:41]

the doer of producing fruits the bee as

[03:43]

the doer of producing honey and the cow

[03:46]

as the doer of the act of producing milk

[03:48]

but the cow doesn't even know what he's

[03:50]

making he doesn't know the amino acids

[03:52]

in the milk nor does he know how many

[03:55]

proteins vitamins minerals need to be in

[03:58]

there it just happens after he is born

[04:00]

what is the real intelligence behind

[04:02]

this creation what we observe I mean the

[04:05]

universe is perfect there are no flaws

[04:07]

in it every plant every tree every

[04:10]

animal everything has its own purpose

[04:12]

and is serving something and nowadays

[04:15]

science discovers and proves that there

[04:17]

was a beginning to this universe but I

[04:19]

mean how big are the chances of a random

[04:21]

Big Bang turning into a universe with

[04:24]

such Perfection and natural loves with

[04:27]

water beautiful trees all kind kinds of

[04:30]

animals all kinds of fruit I mean the

[04:32]

last time I lit up a firework it didn't

[04:35]

turn into a perfect Universe even if the

[04:38]

Big Bang Theory happened like science

[04:40]

speculates there must be an intelligent

[04:42]

Force something behind this perfect

[04:45]

creation right or something that

[04:47]

simulated the big bang for me this is

[04:49]

more than enough proof for a Creator a

[04:52]

higher power whatever you call him so

[04:54]

when I was using the filter on my first

[04:56]

question religions such as Buddhism jism

[05:00]

and philosophical beliefs such as

[05:01]

atheism agnosticism naturalism and

[05:04]

skepticism are eliminated because there

[05:07]

must be a Creator and by the way we as

[05:10]

humans can observe the creation but the

[05:13]

Creator is unseen we can see the

[05:15]

intelligence behind it we can see it we

[05:17]

can touch it we can smell it but there's

[05:19]

nothing tangible in this universe that

[05:21]

has the intelligence and the power to

[05:23]

create everything that we see so that

[05:26]

eliminates religions like Shintoism

[05:28]

taoism and other religions that worship

[05:31]

or believe in tangible objects and Idols

[05:34]

by asking all these questions once I

[05:36]

realized that there must be an

[05:37]

intelligence force behind this creation

[05:40]

a God I started wondering if there is a

[05:42]

need for a religion so when looking at

[05:44]

the universe again everything around us

[05:47]

with such beauty and Perfection plants

[05:49]

trees oceans animals and humans with

[05:53]

millions and millions of different cells

[05:55]

don't you think that the Creator

[05:57]

understands his creation best every

[05:59]

everything is created with purpose I

[06:01]

mean when you buy a laptop it comes with

[06:04]

a manual right the manufacturer explains

[06:06]

what they developed and how to use it in

[06:08]

the best way even the simplest products

[06:11]

have this so if even small and simple

[06:13]

products have a manual don't you think

[06:16]

that the creator of mankind didn't send

[06:18]

a manual that could guide them I mean

[06:21]

throughout history people have been

[06:22]

asking themselves who am I where did I

[06:25]

come from where am I going to what

[06:27]

happens after I die what is my purpose

[06:29]

in this life and we humans need

[06:31]

principles discipline and guidelines in

[06:33]

life without that we are lost in

[06:36]

Randomness and following meaningless

[06:38]

desires I mean have you ever realized

[06:40]

that we humans are the only animals that

[06:43]

have a real conscious mind free will a

[06:46]

cow is just eating grass all day and a

[06:48]

bee is flying around from flower to

[06:50]

flower everything in the universe does

[06:52]

what it's supposed to do and is serving

[06:55]

something except us humans we are laying

[06:57]

in bed watching Netflix all day today we

[07:00]

are cutting down whole jungles to use

[07:02]

the wood for our industrial Productions

[07:04]

we are fighting Wars over politics we

[07:06]

humans are the one messing with nature

[07:09]

without humans on this planet life would

[07:11]

just

[07:12]

be we humans have a free will we have to

[07:15]

choose between good and bad every single

[07:17]

day life is just a huge test even if you

[07:20]

believe there's no God even if you

[07:22]

believe religion doesn't make sense at

[07:24]

least all of us should agree that life

[07:26]

is constantly testing us and what's

[07:28]

funny is that most people people are

[07:29]

then using this statement as an argument

[07:32]

by saying oh yes but if God exists why

[07:35]

is there so much evil and hardship in

[07:37]

this world and this is very interesting

[07:39]

because in my opinion this is a big

[07:41]

misconception of God and it reminds me

[07:44]

of a story that someone told me a little

[07:46]

while ago it's about a religious man

[07:48]

going to the barber and the barber says

[07:50]

I don't believe in God so the religious

[07:52]

man remains quiet and waits for a few

[07:54]

seconds and then he says I don't believe

[07:56]

in Barbers then the barber asks why is

[07:59]

that then the religious man points to

[08:01]

the man across the street and says do

[08:03]

you see that man over there with messy

[08:05]

and long hair if barbar's existed that

[08:08]

man would walk around with a fresh

[08:10]

haircut The Barber losts and says of

[08:12]

course we exist but he just doesn't come

[08:15]

to us and then finally the religious man

[08:17]

replies and says exactly God does exist

[08:21]

but people just don't come to him for

[08:23]

guidance and I completely agree this is

[08:26]

how God teaches us with hardship and

[08:28]

free will if everything goes well all

[08:31]

the time without any hardship do you

[08:33]

think we would really learn something

[08:35]

get stronger or have empathy and good

[08:37]

personality at all whatever you call it

[08:39]

we humans need disciplines principles

[08:42]

and guidelines in this life in order to

[08:45]

grow and build towards something without

[08:47]

them we are just lust and walk around

[08:50]

with not a messy hairstyle but with a

[08:52]

messy life without purpose and true

[08:54]

meaning religion simply means way of

[08:56]

life Universal way that explains how we

[08:59]

human humans should live fre one another

[09:01]

create purpose meaning etc etc and we

[09:04]

can try to figure out ourselves what

[09:06]

works best in life of course but then

[09:08]

what you're actually saying is that when

[09:10]

you buy a laptop you want it without the

[09:12]

manual and you want to write the manual

[09:15]

yourself and figure out how it work

[09:17]

without even understanding what it's

[09:19]

made of which software it uses and which

[09:21]

part it's built of you will just be

[09:23]

guessing what's right and wrong and

[09:25]

everyone will write down something

[09:27]

different and probably would disagree on

[09:29]

many aspects and you see this happening

[09:32]

in life as well so many different

[09:34]

opinions so many different things and a

[09:36]

religion provides Global principles

[09:39]

disciplines and guidelines strong

[09:40]

community that understands each other

[09:43]

it's also why governments create laws

[09:45]

with consequences as well because people

[09:47]

will misbehave without them I mean how

[09:50]

great would this world function if

[09:52]

everyone will just agree what's right

[09:54]

and wrong and what's good or bad so

[09:56]

using pure logical reasoning I started

[09:59]

to understand the importance of religion

[10:01]

and having a manual for Life a holy book

[10:04]

so with this second filter and question

[10:07]

we eliminate religions like pantheism

[10:09]

nihilism and many other religions since

[10:12]

they don't have a clear book and a clear

[10:14]

manual for the way of life and then the

[10:16]

final question I was left with was what

[10:19]

is the actual proof of a Holy Scripture

[10:22]

what evidence and reasoning supports the

[10:24]

religion's claims if God gives us a

[10:26]

manual how would he do that and how can

[10:28]

we prove that that it's correct and not

[10:30]

written by humans I think first we must

[10:33]

realize that by understanding and

[10:35]

learning something new something complex

[10:37]

and difficult we need a teacher that

[10:39]

helps us to do that we humans need

[10:41]

examples and teachers in life that can

[10:43]

tell us what to do and how to live even

[10:46]

when you have a book that explains and

[10:48]

shows everything completely

[10:50]

understanding it yourself by just

[10:51]

reading it can be hard sometimes just

[10:53]

like a book of math in school or other

[10:55]

subjects you need a teacher in the

[10:57]

classroom that explains how to use it

[10:59]

and how to understand it correctly and

[11:02]

then I found out that some religions

[11:03]

consist of a prophit hood which explains

[11:06]

that throughout history there always

[11:08]

have been religious leaders teachers and

[11:10]

examplers with very strong evidence and

[11:12]

unique stories but this was new for me

[11:14]

so when I looked it up it said prophets

[11:17]

are regarded as choosen individuals who

[11:19]

receive Revelation from a higher power

[11:22]

such as God and are tasked with

[11:24]

conveying these messages to humanity

[11:27]

prophets serve as moral examplers social

[11:30]

reformers and sources of wisdom I mean

[11:33]

this sounds very logical but then again

[11:36]

what is the prove and evidence of these

[11:38]

prophets and who are they but first

[11:41]

before we move on I want to say that

[11:43]

when I was applying these filters and

[11:45]

questions on all of the 4500 religions I

[11:49]

ended up with three religions that were

[11:51]

left Judaism Christianity and Islam they

[11:54]

all have the concept of a Creator a holy

[11:57]

book and a prophethood and before I'll

[11:59]

dive deeper into these last three I have

[12:01]

to say the fact that these religions SP

[12:04]

the criteria means that these religions

[12:07]

are based on the truth I mean when

[12:09]

looking at Judaism their main figure

[12:11]

their main Prophet is Moses and in

[12:13]

Christianity their main figure is Jesus

[12:16]

peace be upon them both and in Islam the

[12:18]

main figure and final messenger is

[12:20]

Prophet Muhammad sallallah alaihi

[12:21]

wasallam and what a lot of people don't

[12:23]

know and what I had to realize as well

[12:26]

is that these three religions are

[12:28]

fundamentally the same they are based on

[12:30]

the same history and believe in the same

[12:32]

prophets but then what makes them

[12:34]

different from each other let's look at

[12:36]

these last three religions one by one to

[12:39]

make the final decision the problem I

[12:41]

had with Judaism is that it's a racial

[12:43]

religion they believe that they are the

[12:45]

chosen people of God even if you want to

[12:47]

become a Jew it's a difficult process

[12:50]

and you always remain a second class Jew

[12:53]

and then Christianity is men worshiping

[12:56]

in essence they worship Jesus as the son

[12:59]

of God which is illogical and has no

[13:01]

clear evidence in in my opinion and I

[13:03]

have a Christian background like many

[13:06]

other European people have still the

[13:07]

biggest religion but I never really felt

[13:10]

connected with this way of worshiping

[13:12]

and the construction of this religion

[13:13]

the pictures of Jesus of a man and

[13:16]

asking him for forgiveness I mean Jesus

[13:18]

came with a very clear and good message

[13:20]

and explains a beautiful way of life but

[13:23]

worshiping him as a human with arms

[13:26]

hands and legs didn't it felt right and

[13:28]

besid besides that Christianity has no

[13:30]

clear boundaries anymore it has lost a

[13:33]

lot of its values they are divided into

[13:35]

a lot of denominations movements and

[13:37]

sects and have multiple updated versions

[13:39]

of their holy book The Bible Matthew

[13:42]

John Paul you have a lot of versions of

[13:44]

the Bible and I know a lot of Christians

[13:46]

that only want to go to specific

[13:48]

churches because they don't feel

[13:50]

connected to the people or the teachings

[13:52]

and the way of worshiping in other

[13:54]

churches and this is just a small

[13:55]

summary of the most important flaws that

[13:57]

I found in Judaism and Christianity but

[14:00]

for me these ones were already enough to

[14:02]

see that it's not perfect and that it

[14:04]

can't be the ultimate religion for

[14:06]

mankind so then I passed all religions

[14:09]

and the only religion that was left out

[14:11]

of 4500 different religions was Islam I

[14:15]

don't know that felt very weird because

[14:17]

I had a really different picture from

[14:19]

Islam than I have nowadays but it was

[14:22]

the last one left so I started looking

[14:24]

into it and by just observing this

[14:26]

religion in more detail I was so

[14:28]

impressed ressed by their discipline and

[14:30]

character they believe in one all

[14:32]

powerful God they believe that we are

[14:34]

born with a clean soul and have to learn

[14:36]

from the trials of Life they believe in

[14:38]

a holy book that has no flaws in it they

[14:41]

believe in clear evidence and have a

[14:43]

very strong story they believe in

[14:45]

structure and discipline they believe in

[14:47]

Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi

[14:48]

wasallam and see him as the perfect

[14:50]

example for how to live how to treat

[14:52]

yourself and others and they believe in

[14:55]

a religion that is For All Mankind

[14:57]

everyone has the same rights and must be

[14:59]

treated the same Rich poor old young

[15:04]

black white it doesn't matter it was

[15:06]

just so beautiful literally every

[15:09]

question I asked I received a very clear

[15:11]

and logical answer I just couldn't find

[15:14]

any flaws in this religion it was

[15:15]

actually the opposite it was Perfection

[15:17]

I found but of course important to say

[15:20]

is that no one is perfect a popular

[15:22]

quote in this religion is Islam is

[15:25]

perfect but not the people we make

[15:27]

mistakes but God doesn't make mistakes

[15:30]

and this is very true I promise you when

[15:32]

you research Islam and read the story of

[15:35]

Muhammad there's no way around it but

[15:37]

wait wait wait let's give it some more

[15:39]

context How could a religion that is

[15:41]

just, 1400 years old be the True

[15:43]

Religion for mankind what is very

[15:45]

interesting is that Islam tells us that

[15:48]

it has existed from the very first human

[15:50]

being ever lived on this planet we know

[15:53]

it from the story of Adam and Eve Islam

[15:55]

tells us that prophets like Adam Noah

[15:57]

Abraham MOS Moses David Jesus and

[16:00]

Muhammad peace be upon them all came

[16:03]

with one message to believe in one God

[16:05]

and be good to others but unfortunately

[16:08]

by time the messages of Moses and Jesus

[16:11]

became corrupted and that explains why

[16:14]

you can find a lot of these flaws in

[16:15]

these other religions nowadays so even

[16:18]

though Muhammad peace be upon Him

[16:20]

brought its final message 14400 years

[16:22]

ago in fact Islam is the oldest religion

[16:25]

of mankind and Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala

[16:27]

says in the Quran in Surah al- verse

[16:30]

three today I have perfected and

[16:32]

finalized your religion for you so in

[16:35]

the beginning I wouldn't believe it but

[16:38]

after a while of intense research and

[16:40]

asking a lot of critical questions I

[16:43]

ended up with Islam is my only true

[16:46]

religion because it is based upon

[16:48]

knowledge and logic it goes hand inand

[16:50]

with science it is a religion For All

[16:52]

Mankind it has no flaws it is

[16:54]

fundamentally a very simple religion

[16:57]

it's a way of life it creates good

[16:59]

personality it creates strong

[17:00]
