9. Do not fold your sleeves while lecturing.
10. Do not keep anything (not even a pen) in your shirt pocket. Do not clutter your trouser pockets with things not required.
11. If spectacles are worn then the frame should not be glamorous. (If the talk is being video recorded, then preferably the glasses should have an antiglare coating).
12. Your overall appearance should be smart, appealing and confident.

III - POSTURE:
1. It is preferable to stand and talk rather than sitting and speaking.
2. While standing, your legs should neither be too far apart nor too close.
3. Stand erect on both your feet, without bending them at the knees.
4. Stand upright and not with drooping shoulders.
5. Do not move to and fro, i.e. sideways, or front and backward.
6. Do not shake unnecessarily.
7. Do not lean on anything like table, chair, etc.
8. Your posture should be confident and energetic. It should be relaxed and not tense.

IV - GESTURES:
1. Do not stand rigid like a statue.
2. Make gestures with hands very often.
3. Gestures should be natural and not acted out or preplanned. (You may, however, see your own trial performance in the mirror to evaluate the effectiveness and impression of your gestures).
4. Gestures should be related to the matter that is being spoken.
5. Avoid making similar gestures repeatedly throughout the speech.
6. Your facial expressions should be warm, genial and cordial, and not appear stern or angry.
7. Your face should have expressions according to the matter of your speech.
8. If you have to turn or make a movement, do it from the hip and upper part of the body.

V - TERMINUS:
1. Your hands should be placed one on top of the other on the navel or slightly below or above the navel, (or on the podium) when at rest, i.e. while not making gestures.
2. Do not put your hands in your pockets or behind your back.
3. Do not play with your fingers.
4. Do not bite your nails.
5. Do not fidget with your clothes.
6. Do not fidget with the mike, or the wire, or any article such as pen, paper, etc.

VI - EYE MOVEMENT:
1. At the beginning of the talk give a glance throughout the audience.
2. Have eye to eye contact with as much of the audience as possible (each and every one if possible if you have a small audience).
3. Do not look at the opposite sex if they are present in the audience. You may however give a passing glance occasionally.
4. Look more often at the target audience (e.g. Non-Muslims, Questioners, etc.).
5. You may draw attention of a person in the audience by looking at him directly. However, if this person continues to disturb or distract, it may be advisable at such times to ignore the distraction and continue with your talk.
6. It will be helpful to you and enhance your confidence if you look more at those sections of the audience that appear to be supportive and attentive.
7. Do not look at or fix your gaze on the ceiling, floor, empty space or above the heads of the audience.
8. If referring to your notes is unavoidable, then do not peep at them from far in an apologetic half-hearted manner, but instead hold them close to you and look at them properly in a dignified manner.

VII - MIKE HANDLING:
1. If possible, prior to the commencement of the programme, adjust the equalizer (treble and bass or hi, mid and low), i.e. quality of the tone suitable to your voice.
2. Always insist that the mike be fixed on a floor stand without a podium.
3. Adjust the mike according to your height before the programme begins.
4. If the mike is not adjusted before the programme, do it before beginning your speech. (It is better to spend a few seconds at the start, rather than being uncomfortable throughout the speech or to disturb your speech in between to adjust the mike).
5. If the mike has an on/off switch, check that it is in the 'on' position before beginning the speech.
6. The mike should not cover your face, as it would obstruct the view of the audience and the video shooting.
7. Your mouth should be a few inches away from the mike (not too close, nor too far). Distance also depends on the sensitivity of the mike.
8. The distance between the mouth and the mike should be constant throughout the speech and should not vary.
9. Sometimes for emphasis, you may move your mouth close to the mike without raising your voice.
10. The mouth should always be pointing towards the mike throughout the speech and should not vary at any point.
11. If you have to look in another direction, for eg. towards the chairman who is sitting behind on the stage, take a side step forward and then looking at the chairman, speak into the mike and not away from the mike.
12. Do not speak when your mouth moves away from the mike, e.g. while picking up a book from the table.
13. Never hold the mike on the stand while speaking.
14. Avoid giving a talk with a handheld mike since the gestures become restricted. There is a tendency for the hand to move thereby creating variations in the sound.

VIII - SPEECH:
1. Speak loudly.
2. Speak at a moderate speed, neither too slow nor too fast.
3. People can usually listen faster than the speed at which they can speak. Thus there should not be pauses or blanks, leaving the audience without something to listen and allowing their attention to be diverted.
4. However, after speaking on a difficult or unusual matter, give a short pause for the audience to grasp and assimilate the information.
5. Speak clearly. Speech should not be slurred.
6. Speak confidently.
7. Speak with energy and enthusiasm. (You have to enthuse and charge- up the audience).
8. Speak forcefully (assertively) with conviction. Be persuasive.
9. Repeat the important points for emphasis when required.
10. During normal speech there should not be any repetition.
11. Do not speak monotonously. Modulate/Alter your voice. Change the
Speed / Pace, Tone and Pitch appropriately (High tone, Low tone, hushed voice, depending on the matter). As far as possible, ensure that you hold the interest of your audience throughout your lecture.
12. Do not have a patterned speech like a sing-song voice which goes up and down at regular intervals. The concentration of the audience is lost. (This is common in memorised speeches).
13. However, rhythmic tempo in choice of words can be used.
14. Do not interrupt your speech for petty reasons.

IX - MISCELLANEOUS:
1. Before the commencement of the speech, walk confidently and calmly towards the mike and not in a tense and rapid manner.
2. Pause confidently before starting the speech.
3. If there is any disturbance during the speech, if it can be overlooked, overlook it; or ask the disturbance to be stopped verbally, but don't interrupt your speech intermittently during the disturbance. The attention of the audience will be diverted at intervals and you will loose your grip on them.
4. It is preferable to drink water before starting the speech to lubricate the mouth. Only drink room temperature water and not cold water (Avoid drinking water while standing).
5. Visit the venue in advance, if possible, to familiarise yourself with the hall and the surroundings.
6. The public address system should be professional, as sound is the most important part of the talk.
7. Prepare a checklist of all the requirements. eg. (i) Professional Public
Address System (ii) Mike on floor stand without a podium, (iii) A glass with a jug of water (at room temperature) to be kept on the table. These requirements and the check list can be given to the organisers, well in advance.

X - SEEK ALLAH'S HELP:
1. Do your supplications and du'as seeking Allah's help and support.
2. It is highly recommended that you offer two rakaah Salaah before the talk (seeking Allah's help) and also after the talk (as thanksgiving).
3. Always be in 'Tahaarat' (state of ablution) while delivering a speech.

CONCEPT OF GOD IN CHRISTIANITY

by Dr. Zakir Naik
I INTRODUCTION TO CHRISTIANITY:
Christianity is a Semitic religion, which claims to have nearly 1.2 billion adherents all over the world. Christianity owes its name to Jesus Christ (peace be on him). The Holy Bible is the sacred scripture of the Christians:
a) The Bible is divided into two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is the Holy Scripture of the Jews and contains records of all the prophets of the Jews that came before Jesus (pbuh).
The New Testament contains records of the life of Jesus (pbuh).
b) The complete Bible, i.e. the Old Testament and the New Testament put together, contains 73 books. However, the Protestant Bible i.e. the King James Version, contains only 66 books as they consider 7 books of the Old Testament to be apocrypha, i.e. of doubtful authority.
Therefore the Old Testament of the Catholics, contains 46 books and that of the Protestants, 39 books. However the New Testament of both these sects contains 27 books.

II Position of Jesus (pbuh) in Islam:
(i) Islam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus (pbuh). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (pbuh).
(ii) We believe that he was one of the mightiest Messengers of Allah (swt).
(iii) We believe that he was born miraculously, without any male intervention, which many modern day Christians do not believe.
(iv) We believe he was the Messiah translated Christ (pbuh).
(v) We believe that he gave life to the dead with God’s permission.
(iv) We believe that he healed those born blind, and the lepers with God’s permission.

III CONCEPT OF GOD IN CHRISTIANITY:
1. Jesus Christ (pbuh) never claimed Divinity
One may ask, if both Muslims and Christians love and respect Jesus (pbuh), where exactly is the parting of ways? The major difference between Islam and Christianity is the Christians’ insistence on the supposed divinity of Christ (pbuh). A study of the Christian scriptures reveals that Jesus (pbuh) never claimed divinity. In fact there is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (pbuh) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me". In fact the Bible contains statements attributed to Jesus (pbuh) in which he preached quite the contrary. The following statements in the Bible are attributed to Jesus Christ (pbuh):
(i) "My Father is greater than I." [The Bible, John 14:28]
(ii) "My Father is greater than all." [The Bible, John 10:29]
(iii) "…I cast out devils by the Spirit of God…." [The Bible, Mathew 12:28]
(iv) "…I with the finger of God cast out devils…." [The Bible, Luke 11:20]
(v) "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." [The Bible, John 5:30]

2. The Mission of Jesus Christ (pbuh) – to Fulfill the Law
Jesus (pbuh) never claimed divinity for himself. He clearly announced the nature of his mission. Jesus (pbuh) was sent by God to confirm the previous Judaic law. This is clearly evident in the following statements attributed to Jesus (pbuh) in the Gospel of Mathew:
"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
"For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." [The Bible, Mathew 5:17-20]

3. God Sent Jesus' (pbuh)
The Bible mentions the prophetic nature of Jesus (pbuh) mission in the following verses:
(i) "… and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me."[The Bible, John 14:24]
(ii) "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou has sent." [The Bible, John 17:3]

4. Jesus Refuted even the Remotest Suggestion of his Divinity
Consider the following incident mentioned in the Bible:
"And behold, one came and said unto him, ‘Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?’
And he said unto him, ‘Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.’ "[The Bible, Mathew 19:16-17]
Jesus (pbuh) did not say that to have the eternal life of paradise, man should believe in him as Almighty God or worship him as God, or believe that Jesus (pbuh) would die for his sins. On the contrary he said that the path to salvation was through keeping the commandments. It is indeed striking to note the difference between the words of Jesus Christ (pbuh) and the Christian dogma of salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus (pbuh).

5. Jesus (pbuh) of Nazareth – a Man Approved of God
The following statement from the Bible supports the Islamic belief that Jesus (pbuh) was a prophet of God.
"Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know." [The Bible, Acts 2:22]

6. The First Commandment is that God is One
The Bible does not support the Christian belief in trinity at all. One of the scribes once asked Jesus (pbuh) as to which was the first commandment of all, to which Jesus (pbuh) merely repeated what Moses (pbuh) had said earlier:
"Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adonai Ikhad."
This is a Hebrew quotation, which means:
"Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord." [The Bible, Mark 12:29]
It is striking that the basic teachings of the Church such as Trinity and vicarious atonement find no mention in the Bible. In fact, various verses of the Bible point to Jesus’ (pbuh) actual mission, which was to fulfill the law revealed to Prophet Moses (pbuh). Indeed Jesus (pbuh) rejected any suggestions that attributed divinity to him, and explained his miracles as the power of the One True God.
Jesus (pbuh) thus reiterated the message of monotheism that was given by all earlier prophets of Almighty God.

NOTE: All quotations of the Bible are taken from the King James Version (KJV).

IV CONCEPT OF GOD IN OLD TESTAMENT:
1. God is One
The following verse from the book of Deuteronomy contains an exhortation from Moses (pbuh):
"Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adna Ikhad". It is a Hebrew quotation which means: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord"
[The Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4]
2. Unity of God in the Book of Isaiah
The following verses are from the Book of Isaiah:
(i) "I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour."[The Bible, Isaiah 43:11]
(ii) "I am Lord, and there is none else, there is no God besides me."[The Bible, Isaiah 45:5]
(iii) "I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me."[The Bible, Isaiah 46:9]
3. Old Testament condemns idol worship
(i) Old Testament condemns idol worship in the following verses:
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:"
"Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God."[The Bible, Exodus 20:3-5]
(ii) A similar message is repeated in the book of Deuteronomy:
"Thou shalt have none other gods before me."
"Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that in the earth beneath, or that is in the water beneath the earth."
"Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God." [The Bible, Deuteronomy 5:7-9]
