[00:00:00]Moses is mentioned, Prophet Moses, peace be upon him, 136 times. The most number of times in the Quran, followed by Abraham and Jesus mentioned 25 times, and Muhammad, peace be upon him, he's he's mentioned only five times.

[00:00:16]By name in the Quran. So, the point I'm trying to derive is that Muslims, I cannot be a Muslim if I do not believe in the prophets of the old.

[00:00:27]For me to be a Muslim, I have to believe in Jesus, peace be upon him, and Moses, and Abraham, and Noah, and David, and Ishmael, and Isaac, all the prophets.

[00:00:36]So, that shows the commonality that we have.

[00:00:39]That, you know, I have studied the Bible, by the way. When I studied the Bible and the Quran, and I have studied the Vedas and different scriptures, I see close to 65 to 85 things in common.

[00:00:50]I usually say this, that there are more things in common that should unite us than things of differences that sometimes we fight over that divides us.

[00:01:01]So, let's work on the commonalities that we have, yes.
