The questioner: Some of the Christians say: "The third of three," and our Lord—Glorified and Exalted is He—says, meaning in the Book: [An-Nisa 4:171] We gave them this verse; did they become convinced? If they did not become convinced, is there another piece of evidence we can give them, or should we leave them to their own devices?
The Shaykh: If they are not convinced by the statement of the Lord of the Worlds, by the statement of whom will they be convinced?
The questioner: They will not be convinced.
The Shaykh: By the statement of whom will they be convinced?

The Shaykh: If they are not convinced by the speech of Allah—Mighty and Majestic—they will not be convinced by the speech of the servants of Allah—Mighty and Majestic.

The Shaykh: And the problem with these people is that they disbelieved in the Messenger of Allah.
The questioner : (Peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh: The one who, by the explicit text of the Noble Qur'an and the authentic hadiths, was sent as a mercy to the worlds. It was incumbent upon them to study the life of the Messenger—peace be upon him—and how Allah saved the Arabs in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance from darkness to light, and from misguidance to guidance. But they turned away from studying the Messenger—peace be upon him—and his life, and the reform he effected among his people, and they sat clinging to the Torah and the Gospel, which time has devoured and consumed.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Do not debate these people as long as they have not believed in such an explicit verse.
Is there anything else?
