00:00:00.000 And that is where you have this existential crisis, you know, and then is there more to life than these?
00:00:05.220 You can have a husband, and I mean, Islamically, if you marry a husband, inshallah, he can maybe do that for you at home. 0.61
00:00:11.800 Yeah, literally.
00:00:13.620 There's a halal option there, you know, there's nothing wrong with that. 0.88
00:00:15.720 So no gays, no lesbians. 1.00
00:00:19.280 Yeah, we believe the same, we believe it's a sin, but we don't judge, like, we don't come...
00:00:23.240 100% it's a sin.
00:00:24.440 It's a sin, but we don't condemn them, we don't condemn them to hell, we don't say... 0.95
00:00:27.740 Like, we believe a person can be a Muslim and have gay inclinations. 0.97
00:00:31.260 No. 0.98
00:00:32.060 But let me tell you how.
00:00:33.400 What I would say is, maybe there's a misunderstanding.
00:00:35.580 No sin takes you out the fold of being a Muslim.
00:00:39.500 So if you go drink alcohol today...
00:00:41.120 Oh yeah, can we go sin now?
00:00:44.140 I'm just having such a good conversation.
00:00:45.480 Yeah, so...
00:00:46.480 Do your earrings have a purpose?
00:00:50.380 You probably had it matching with something, your dress, or maybe your shoes.
00:00:53.580 My dress.
00:00:54.280 Your dress, there you go.
00:00:55.040 So you woke up today and thought, you know what, I'm going to dress up.
00:00:57.560 And I'm going to make sure my earrings are matching.
00:00:59.440 My wife does that, I'll pick for her. 1.00
00:01:01.280 Yes.
00:01:01.680 So, basically, the argument is the following.
00:01:03.900 Your earrings are a mere object, and they have a purpose.
00:01:07.640 They have a design.
00:01:08.680 And they have a designer.
00:01:09.640 You are a human being, you have eyes, you can hear, you've got a heart, you've got lungs,
00:01:13.160 you breathe.
00:01:13.420 I've got a heart.
00:01:15.320 I've got the gorgeous outside.
00:01:17.600 So the point is this, what's your purpose?
00:01:19.840 Like, the question we need to ask is, why are we here?
00:01:21.740 Like, who put you here?
00:01:22.280 Do you ever think to yourself, why am I here and where am I going?
00:01:24.760 I have no purpose.
00:01:26.120 You have to, but that is a purpose.
00:01:27.520 To say I don't have a purpose is a purpose.
00:01:29.180 I need to try and find my purpose.
00:01:30.840 Good.
00:01:31.100 So what I will say is this, sister.
00:01:32.260 Look, I did this 11 years ago.
00:01:33.400 I became a Muslim, even though I know I look Muslim, 11 years ago.
00:01:36.600 So I looked in, 13 years ago, I used to go clubbing, partying in this trip every weekend.
00:01:40.440 That's where we're going.
00:01:41.440 Yes, but the point came in my life where I was like, this is just boring.
00:01:44.380 Yeah.
00:01:44.740 It just gets boring.
00:01:45.500 Like, every time, like, obviously I didn't drink.
00:01:48.180 I was not into alcohol because of health reasons.
00:01:50.420 But clubbing, partying, all this kind of stuff, it came to a point where I was like,
00:01:53.660 is there more to life?
00:01:55.180 And that is where you have this existential crisis.
00:01:57.220 Male strippers. 0.98
00:01:57.680 You know, and then is there more to life than these?
00:02:00.540 To the male strippers, yeah? 0.96
00:02:02.040 Okay.
00:02:02.580 You can have a husband.
00:02:03.640 I mean, Islamically, if you marry a husband, inshallah, he can maybe do that for you at home. 0.77
00:02:08.320 But, yeah, there's a halal option there, you know, there's nothing wrong with that.
00:02:13.240 So, yeah, so I came to the point where I was like, hold on a second, there must be a greater purpose.
00:02:16.720 So then, I knew God exists.
00:02:18.720 You believe in God?
00:02:19.480 Yeah.
00:02:20.200 I said, there must be a reason he put me here.
00:02:21.640 Because it's impossible that a creator exists, but he's a purposeless God.
00:02:25.460 Because everything that, everyone that's created something or designed something,
00:02:28.700 your jacket, your bag, your shoes, your trainers, this mic to that camera,
00:02:31.780 they did it for a reason.
00:02:32.900 They found the need for it, they made a purpose, and they designed it.
00:02:35.420 What about the one that created us?
00:02:36.940 You are far in complex and design.
00:02:38.640 Your eyesight, your eye, vision, your eyes, far complex than any camera on this earth.
00:02:43.020 So, it points to a higher being that wants goodness for you.
00:02:45.640 We believe that there's a hereafter, that there's hell and heaven, and you'll be judged.
00:02:49.240 And God just wants you to have a relationship with him.
00:02:51.100 That's our main purpose.
00:02:51.820 We don't believe God is a man.
00:02:52.680 We don't believe he's a woman.
00:02:53.580 We believe there is nothing like him.
00:02:55.080 So, what do you believe?
00:02:55.720 Do you believe there's a lot of Jesus and a God?
00:02:57.420 So.
00:02:57.720 Like the Catholic? 0.72
00:02:58.860 Yes.
00:02:59.360 So, we are very close to the Christians.
00:03:01.100 So, Allah in the Quran tells us, we have a whole chapter called Mary.
00:03:04.660 You know, the mother of Jesus, Maryam?
00:03:05.880 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:06.440 Yes, there's a whole chapter on her mother.
00:03:07.740 Because we believe she's one of the most holiest women that was sent to earth.
00:03:10.220 So, we believe that Jesus was a prophet.
00:03:12.600 He was sent by God Almighty to tell the people to worship God alone.
00:03:16.540 Yeah.
00:03:17.000 We don't believe he's God.
00:03:18.060 Christians believe he's God.
00:03:19.200 They deify him.
00:03:20.560 But you will accept, like, let me put it like this.
00:03:22.380 Would you ever believe God is a man like me?
00:03:24.380 No.
00:03:25.380 Good.
00:03:26.000 This is what we call in Islam called the fitrah.
00:03:28.140 What that means is, we as Muslims believe every person is born a Muslim.
00:03:33.000 Meaning, you have the inclination by when I asked you and said, do you believe God is a man?
00:03:37.220 You said, no.
00:03:37.860 That's called the fitrah. 0.99
00:03:39.020 Your program and the way God has programmed you, you can distinguish what is God and who God is not.
00:03:43.380 So, you believe that God is a Muslim?
00:03:45.600 No.
00:03:46.240 We believe we are Muslims.
00:03:47.640 And Muslims are the ones that submit their will to God.
00:03:50.800 So, when you submit your will to God, I'm like, you're a Muslim. 0.99
00:03:54.320 Do you get it?
00:03:54.780 Obviously, you have to believe in Allah and the Quran and the Prophet. 0.92
00:03:57.840 That's a different discussion.
00:03:58.940 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:59.260 But for you to accept that God is one, he has no partners, he's not a male or female, and there is nothing like him,
00:04:06.000 is a good step towards being a Muslim in that sense.
00:04:09.060 Do you get it?
00:04:09.540 In the proper way, yeah.
00:04:11.200 Because my nan is a Christian.
00:04:13.100 Okay.
00:04:13.380 And she goes to church every week.
00:04:15.460 Okay.
00:04:16.320 She's a strong Irish Christian.
00:04:18.240 Okay. 0.97
00:04:19.260 So, no gays, no lesbians. 1.00
00:04:22.900 Yeah, we believe the same.
00:04:24.080 We believe it's a sin, but we don't judge that.
00:04:26.420 We don't come in. 0.94
00:04:26.860 100% it's a sin.
00:04:27.880 It's a sin.
00:04:28.640 But we don't condemn them to hell. 0.99
00:04:30.840 We don't say, like, we believe a person can be a Muslim and have gay inclinations. 0.99
00:04:34.880 No. 0.94
00:04:35.620 But let me tell you how.
00:04:37.340 To not become a Muslim, it means you don't believe or reject God or associate part in a sin. 0.99
00:04:43.720 Yeah. 0.87
00:04:43.900 Look, for example, there could be a man who's an adulterer.
00:04:46.580 He just sleeps around with girls. 0.96
00:04:48.420 Yeah.
00:04:48.780 Yeah.
00:04:48.880 Now, is that a sin?
00:04:50.260 Yes.
00:04:50.740 Okay.
00:04:51.000 But does that mean he cannot be a Christian or a Muslim? 1.00
00:04:53.500 We say, no, you are a sinner. 0.98
00:04:54.900 You are still a Muslim, but you need to stop the sin. 1.00
00:04:57.680 Yeah. 0.97
00:04:58.120 Okay. 0.96
00:04:58.340 So, same as a gay person, homosexual, we believe that's a major sin. 1.00
00:05:02.480 However, it does not take you out the fold. 0.92
00:05:05.800 Unless you say, being homosexual, God said it's okay. 1.00
00:05:10.200 Then you're in trouble. 0.60
00:05:11.360 But I feel like if you were to say this about five years ago, then it would be completely...
00:05:15.100 Exactly.
00:05:15.820 But do you see, this is why...
00:05:16.820 Nowadays, it's like, okay.
00:05:18.340 But do you know why?
00:05:19.100 But I still feel like it's wrong.
00:05:21.060 No, no, same.
00:05:21.620 No, I believe it is a wrong, it is a major sin.
00:05:23.340 Yeah.
00:05:23.680 It's just that...
00:05:24.620 It's just that we just say that they can still be a Muslim, but they should repent from 1.00
00:05:28.820 that and try not to go back to it.
00:05:30.240 But it feels like you're going back on your own religion to suit other people.
00:05:34.800 Okay.
00:05:35.140 So, what I would say is, maybe there's a misunderstanding.
00:05:37.540 No sin takes you out the fold of being a Muslim.
00:05:41.480 So, if you go drink alcohol today...
00:05:43.100 Oh, yeah.
00:05:43.460 Can we go sin now?
00:05:46.140 I'm just having such a good conversation.
00:05:47.420 Yeah.
00:05:47.760 So, yeah.
00:05:48.840 Obviously, I don't want to hold you guys.
00:05:50.140 You guys, we want to go somewhere.
00:05:51.260 But no sin takes you out the fold of Islam unless you associate partners to God.
00:05:56.180 All right.
00:05:56.640 That's the only thing.
00:05:57.620 So, we are all sinners.
00:05:58.740 Like, I'm a sinner.
00:05:59.260 I'm not an angel.
00:06:00.240 Do you know?
00:06:00.540 And God doesn't want us to be angels.
00:06:01.900 100%.
00:06:02.180 Yeah.
00:06:02.540 If you sin, repent.
00:06:03.420 Sleep with a man? 0.73
00:06:05.260 Marry him.
00:06:06.260 You'd marry a man?
00:06:07.100 No, no, no.
00:06:07.560 No, sorry.
00:06:08.100 I thought you meant...
00:06:08.840 No, you sleep with a man. 1.00
00:06:10.180 No, no.
00:06:11.440 That's a major sin.
00:06:12.480 Yeah.
00:06:12.800 Yeah, that's a major sin.
00:06:14.000 That's all I want to say.
00:06:14.720 Thank you.
00:06:15.020 Sorry to keep you out.
00:06:15.960 You've been very patient with me.
00:06:16.840 Thank you.
00:06:17.320 If you have any questions, I'm here.
00:06:18.380 My name is Ali Dawa on YouTube.
00:06:19.980 I have YouTube videos.
00:06:20.940 My name is Ali Dawa.
00:06:22.140 I'm live on YouTube.
00:06:23.060 But also, if you want to watch my videos, this will be out on my YouTube channel.
00:06:25.920 My name is Ali Dawa.
00:06:26.560 If you want to add it, it's up to you.
00:06:27.800 Okay.
00:06:28.340 Yes.
00:06:29.080 Thank you, sister.
00:06:29.700 Sorry if I offended.
00:06:31.540 No, no.
00:06:32.080 Okay, no.
00:06:32.880 Yes, yes.
00:06:33.520 Thank you so much.
00:06:34.420 No problem.
00:06:34.520 Thank you.
00:06:34.880 And thank you.
00:06:36.280 Okay, guys.
00:06:36.880 As you can see, subhanAllah. 0.99
00:06:38.320 You know what's one pattern that I'm seeing quite interestingly is there's people who have
00:06:43.280 good intentions and when they want goodness, but their friends are pulling them away.
00:06:48.940 I've seen this many times in Leicester Square.
00:06:50.660 There are people...
00:06:51.820 Ah.
00:06:52.660 Ah.
00:06:52.960 Not again, mate.
00:06:53.820 They had a transfer, mate.
00:06:54.700 Okay, so guys, yeah, one thing that I've noticed, even happened yesterday, guys, where
00:06:59.900 the guy is interested in knowing about Islam, knowing about God, but their friends are dragging 0.99
00:07:04.240 them away.
00:07:04.540 Like, even if you saw with this lady, the sister, she's interested, she wants to know about
00:07:08.660 her friends.
00:07:09.040 She's like, no, let's go sinning and we did this, etc.
00:07:11.340 This is why it's so important to have good friends.
00:07:14.640 Very important to have good friends, inshallah.
00:07:16.160 So, alhamdulillah, that's what we're doing, guys.
00:07:17.820 Give me an Afri Al-Quran. 1.00
00:07:18.460 As-salamu alaykum.
00:07:18.980 Okay.
