00:01:17.420
gay and sometimes they feel as if god hates them and he doesn't like them and we say look i'm a
00:01:21.120
muslim and of course in our religion it's a sin but we don't look at you and be like oh he is
00:01:25.840

00:01:29.720
a really good muslim who dies we can't come and say he's going paradise neither i can look at you
00:01:33.520
and be like oh he's definitely going hell this is arrogance so one of the things islam came to
00:01:37.080
deal with is arrogant individuals walking around proud as if yeah i'm righteous do you get it
00:01:41.780
righteous then die so the attitude is that please like you as a gay man do not feel as if we as
00:01:48.900
religious people look down on you or we feel less just know that you can have that relationship
00:01:53.660
with god so keep that in mind i just wanted to tell you because sometimes i speak there's a
00:01:57.700

thank you it looks good on you as well okay i'm a muslim okay and i know a lot of i'm assuming you're
00:02:33.220
please forgive me you're gay yeah that's fine a lot of people have this misconception that as muslims we
00:02:37.720
disregard or dislike that's not the case we believe that god almighty has created everybody and we all
00:02:43.520
tested in different ways so my religion doesn't make me despise you're looking in a certain way it just
00:02:47.900
says that different people are created in different ways and also that we all have tests
00:02:51.420
i have a test you have a test but the ultimate test is what for us to have a relation with god
00:02:55.360
almighty and a lot of people who have who are gay who act on the homosexuality or not they think that
00:03:00.660
god hates them god doesn't hate them it's just a test yes the action we believe is sinful but i just
00:03:05.960
wanted you to know that i don't look at you in that manner so because a lot of people have this
00:03:09.760
misconception have you read the quran before no can i give you one uh okay if you want to it'll be an
00:03:16.740
if i can give you one for free if can you take it in there i don't know if i would okay let me give
00:03:20.840
you one for free yeah so just if you ever get the chance please do read it you know yes it's going
00:03:25.600
to be a muslim in two minutes give me a second i'm joking so yeah look if you have any questions
00:03:29.800
you have any misconceptions about islam okay do you have any no nothing i don't think do you know
00:03:34.340
anything about islam uh yeah i did uh do a lot on it for my okay we believe god is one
00:03:40.240
and he sent prophets and he sent guidance for us to make happiness i was not a muslim 10 years ago
00:03:46.980
i came to islam and believe me i used to go party and clubbing etc but it came a moment of
00:03:51.200
my life where i was like is this all it is there a greater purpose so then i just ventured out and
00:03:56.640
looked at different religions and i became muslim but that's it i don't hold you i know you're going
00:04:00.300
to a party it was a pleasure woody i'm so sorry thank you very much take care thank you much i think
00:04:05.600
look it's very important guys that we convey this message you know why because sometimes i speak to
00:04:10.300
a lot of people who are who have these tendencies and they feel as if they are doomed they are finished
00:04:15.620
they have no chance they're going to go hell that's not the case in our religion yes it's a sin
00:04:20.420
yes we hate the sin and in certain instances we can hate the sinner as well but the doors of
00:04:26.280
repentance is open for everybody you cannot look at somebody and feel as if you are more righteous
00:04:30.520
than them it can be that this man becomes a muslim and becomes better than you so we need to very
00:04:36.980
very be very careful with our attitude and be like oh you see that guy like sometimes i'm here trying
00:04:41.460
to speak to people i'm speaking to let's say a trans and some people come to you oh why are you
00:04:45.200
speaking to him why should i not speak to him didn't islam come for him did it just come for the
00:04:49.100
righteous people is the masajid just for the pious so please guys inshallah our aim is to inshallah
00:04:55.000
convey that message and win their hearts over inshallah like the prophet muhammad did when he would go to
00:05:00.500
war he would if he if he had camels he would give camels to the bedouin arabs why to win their hearts
00:05:05.840
