The Way Is One by Dr. Bilal Philips

The overwhelming majority of people do believe in Allah, subahanahu wata ala. They may not accept Him by that Name. They may prefer to call Him God or Gott or Dieu. They may simply refer to Him as a Supreme Being. They may call Him by other names that are not ones He has taken for Himself. But they believe. Because all of creation bears witness to the sheer majesty of what He created. It takes despicable arrogance and willful blindness to claim that all of creation spontaneously or meaninglessly came into being. But what separates Muslims from the rest of mankind is that we accept Him as One, Alone, Having no partner of any kind nor of any degree. Indeed, the idol worshippers of Makkah who rejected the Prophet Muhammad, sull Allahi alayhi wa sallam, believed in Allah subhanahu wata ala, and even called Him by His Name. But the idol worshippers insisted that there was a pantheon of lesser gods that interceded on behalf of man. And that worshipping these intermediaries would please Allah! This lecture by Bilal Philips explains the Oneness of Allah subhanahu wata ala, and its implications. He also explains how Islam is the one religion that truly respects the Oneness of Allah subhanahu wata ala. This video is not perfect but it is a must-see for any person who thinks all religions are the same or are equally loved by Allah subhanahu wata ala. Here's the Google Video description of this recently uploaded lecture: "In this video Dr. Bilal Philips talks about madhabs, sufis, multiple paths to God, and so on."
