Here is a discussion by Mohammad Shaikh from his trip to USA & Canada in 2013 recorded in an intimate gathering at a home in Toronto, Canada. The gathering comprised of local immigrant Muslims and invited local Christian guests with whom various topics were discussed. Whether you have seen Mohammad Shaikh’s lectures or not, this discussion highlights some of the most important topics on which he has delivered public lectures previously and is also available online. The topics for discussion are drawn from the general theme of the discussion, which is the singularity of Allah’s Book (Quran) in all times (past, present and future), and consequently its impact on traditional, historically based religious views held on by Muslim communities and related Judeo-Christian faith. Some of the topics include the identification and verification of the Book given to all the prophets and also the identification of Masjid Al-Aqsa and many other related topics.

Sirat-Al-Mustaqeem / Upright Straight Path
This lecture points out and highlights the correct definition of the “Straight Path” which Muslims ask for 5 times a day in their prayers, and which all mankind in general are seeking in their own varying ways, hoping to get near God, but which can only be found within the Quran through examples of those were on the straight Path. As the lecture progresses the viewers will be able to understand what the straight path is and also who were on it as per the Quran, and what we have to do so we can be on it without any doubts.
Qisaas / Requital
Allah / The God describes HIS rules / laws (that cannot be broken) and provides the Dos and Donts in the Quran for mankind’s guidance. Within these rules / laws include laws of Qisaas / Requital / Compensation where God describes how HE deals with people who go against the dos and donts of the Quran and psychologically and physically wrong others, and what believers who are wronged should do to help themselves in these situations. This lecture also highlights the fact that all the Rules / Laws and the Dos and Donts mentioned in the Quran together is called the At-Taurah / The Law containing the Governance of Allah. Furthermore, it also highlights that in contradiction to the At-Taurah / The Law of the Quran “an eye for an eye, tooth for tooth and life for a life” (which sounds very similar BUT NOT SAME AS to what is written in the Taurah of the Quran) is actually a man written rule/instruction that can be found in the Old testament or TORAH of the Bible and which is followed by the Jews & Christians around the world as justification to do wrong to people who wrong them. This lecture not only provides what is written in the Taurah of The Quran in matters of Qisaas / Compensation / Requital for all the wrongs up to murder of another human being but also shows in contrast what it says in the Bible Old and New Testament, which is the source of the justification for the psychology of vengeance causing all the bloodshed we see in the world today.
