Ali Dawah - ALI DAWAH'S SECRET FUNDS IN PUBLIC NOW

00:00:00.000 But if you're just a YouTuber asking people to give you money, there needs to be full financial

00:00:04.980 disclosure from people like Ali Dawah, from all of these people who are asking you to give them

00:00:09.340 money. Well, I need to know what your income is, what you're using that money for and where it's

00:00:14.500 coming from. Yeah, I can show you my bank accounts. I've got three bank accounts. Well, personal

00:00:17.620 account in Barclays. I've got a business account and I've got another bank account in Halifax.

00:00:22.860 And I will put you all the balances right now in front of you. And wallahi, I took screen shots

00:00:26.720 today. Just imagine the people back in the day when they would have to travel certain distances

00:00:33.860 for months or even years. What is one thing that they would carry with them? The Quran. Why? Because

00:00:40.080 they did not have it on their mobile devices or their gadgets. Brothers and sisters, imagine you

00:00:44.780 have a app, the Qurani app, which not only shows you how much rewards you get, but reminds you to

00:00:50.880 read the Quran, gives you reminders. Download the Qurani app now and let it testify for you on your

00:00:56.360 Qiyamah, that you read it wherever you was.

00:01:00.000 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends. I'm going to get

00:01:03.500 straight into this topic, inshallah. This brother here, I've seen a couple of his videos. He came

00:01:07.960 out of nowhere a couple of weeks ago. And alhamdulillah, he's doing, I mean, really interesting,

00:01:12.640 you know, the way he's replying to certain answers, contentions, doubts that are thrown to

00:01:16.700 him. And anytime in the Dawah scene, I see somebody coming and aiding the course, I'm happy.

00:01:21.840 When Mohammed Hijab came into the scene, you know, first, to me, it was a breath of fresh air

00:01:26.300 because he tackles issues that I can't tackle. He goes to areas I can't go to. And alhamdulillah,

00:01:31.360 he puts so much hard work into it. And many people do not like him. So to me, it's a pleasure

00:01:35.780 and honor to have somebody who is on the scene. Now, what upsets me is that all of a sudden,

00:01:43.380 about a week ago, I just started seeing this very brother, which we can watch the videos for

00:01:46.620 ourselves now in a minute, we can watch it, starting in directing people. And I'm just

00:01:51.780 like, why are you ruining it? Like, why? I understand. Don't get it twisted. If somebody

00:01:56.040 is doing something that is haram, wrong, misusing, whatever it may be, funds or whatever it may

00:02:02.360 be, understandable. But all the things that is coming from this brother is nothing but absolute

00:02:08.040 accusations. It's a matter of the heart. And it's as if he's talking about the unseen. Here

00:02:12.700 is a video where he's criticizing. I don't know if he got me confused with brother Dawman. And he

00:02:18.080 thinks his name is, because I get that a lot, you know, people come and say to him, are you Ali

00:02:21.040 Dawman, you know, etc. So I don't know if he got me confused or matter. I'm not saying that he's

00:02:26.040 right about Dawman. But here's the video. Watch it for yourself, guys. As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi

00:02:31.020 wa barakatuh. I'm going to have to try and make this quick because I'm very angry, to be honest, and

00:02:35.660 disgusted. I came across this thing called the Badr Club. And it's basically some Muslim guys from the UK

00:02:42.540 who are trying to be sort of Andrew Tate. They're all jumping on this masculinity bandwagon.

00:02:46.860 Can we reach a stage where it's time for boys to become men? All about men and, you know,

00:02:51.580 men being with men and men and men and masculinity and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. A place for men

00:02:57.580 only. It's like, you know, a boys club, a masculinity club. And it's supposedly also about, like, success

00:03:03.500 and making you successful in materialist terms. Same time, there's a video on their TikTok channel for

00:03:09.900 the Badr Club where this brother is talking about, you know, you don't really need your job. You know,

00:03:14.860 you could just quit your job. You're nine to five. You know, it's getting in the way of, you know,

00:03:17.980 your relationship with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala as if work isn't worship because you're providing for

00:03:23.100 your family. But forget that. You don't really need your job. You know, you could just do start

00:03:27.020 your own business or some kind of a side hustle. Who is giving you money? You're showing people

00:03:33.020 literally that you're living the lifestyle of a freaking millionaire and still asking people

00:03:38.700 for money. So I guess that's how you don't need a job because you can just do the dawah hustle and

00:03:44.780 tell people, you know, give to us because it's like giving feasibility. It's like giving to a,

00:03:49.740 you know, a good cause is good for spreading Islam and teaching Islam and stuff like this. So give us

00:03:54.140 money. Meanwhile, you use that money to live the lifestyle of the rich and famous and to dupe young

00:03:59.660 men who are inexperienced, naive, gullible, stupid. I mean, the whole, the whole way that you're

00:04:06.060 marketing this is specifically to filter out anyone with intelligence, anyone with experience,

00:04:13.260 anyone who isn't gullible and naive. It's specifically to target naive, stupid, inexperienced

00:04:18.620 young men. This is disgusting. There needs to be full financial disclosure from all of these YouTube

00:04:24.460 dais who are asking for money. If you have an actual organization, you're in relief work,

00:04:29.500 even you're a masjid or you're supporting Islamic schools or, you know, actual projects on the

00:04:35.580 ground. That's one thing, even that there should be financial disclosure. But if you're just a

00:04:40.460 YouTuber asking people to give you money, there needs to be full financial disclosure from people

00:04:46.060 like Haqikachu, from people like Ali Dawah, from people like Gabriel Romani, from all of these people

00:04:51.660 who are asking you to give them money. Well, I need to know what your income is, what you're using that

00:04:57.260 money for and where it's coming from and what your expenses are and where that money is going.

00:05:01.660 Because if you're living the high life off of money that the Muslims are giving you,

00:05:06.140 Haram. Wallahi, that's Haram. This is really, really upsetting to me. People using Islam for business.

00:05:13.980 It's not even like proper business. It's like conning people. This is absolutely repugnant and repulsive.

00:05:20.700 Well, guys, you saw that in the video. Like, in the video, it's very clear that he's criticizing the

00:05:24.780 thing that, you know, Brother Imran, he was doing the free one for the Badal Crab, etc. You know,

00:05:29.340 they changed it. They stopped it, whatever it may be for that matter. Their own teachers advised him.

00:05:32.780 No problem. Okay. They accepted a mistake. And why not people that are going to nitpick,

00:05:35.980 etc. for that matter? No problem. Yeah. I wasn't really fond of it myself. It's okay. No problem.

00:05:41.900 Yeah. Now, the point here is the following though. Now he comes towards the end, mentions myself,

00:05:46.780 Daniel Hakkechu and Brother Gabriel Romani. Now, I know Brother Gabriel Romani. Daniel Hakkechu,

00:05:52.380 I know of him, etc. I don't agree with everything he says. Neither does he agree with everything I say,

00:05:56.540 you know. But the point here is this. Now you have put a doubt in people's minds about the Dawah scene.

00:06:01.660 Now, I am one of the first people, when I hit the first million subscribers, I've done a video,

00:06:05.420 if you haven't seen it, because it just shows me that you haven't seen it. If you go watch that video,

00:06:09.420 I have clearly and categorically said, the point I want to come to, people have turned Dawah like it's

00:06:13.980 their dad's business, like it's their dad's money. There are people who feel entitled,

00:06:19.180 and I'm not giving names to anybody. Dawah is not your dad's. It doesn't belong to you. It's an

00:06:24.300 amana given by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to you. You cannot act and behave. We hear stories of people

00:06:29.740 coming to give speech, talks, and charging thousands of pounds. They have been asked,

00:06:35.980 yeah, I want me and my one and my two wives to be thrown out in business class. Who the hell do you think

00:06:40.780 you are? Who the hell do you think you are? This isn't amana for you to serve the deen.

00:06:45.980 This isn't amana for you to serve the community. That Dawah is being turned into a business,

00:06:50.460 like a corporation, as if it's somebody's, like as if it's their dad's business. I've been talking

00:06:55.740 about this for a very long time. Now, I'm not blaming anybody. All I'm saying is that myself,

00:07:00.460 personally, and I'll make it very honest, yeah, I can show you my bank accounts. I've got three bank

00:07:04.380 accounts. I've got a personal account in Barclays, I've got a business account, and I've got another bank

00:07:09.340 account in Halifax. And I will put you all the balances right now in front of you, and wallahi,

00:07:13.580 I took screenshots today. Today I took the screenshots. So you can see. And the one that has £2,007 in it,

00:07:19.100 I've got my rent coming, £1,200. So that's going to be deducted as well, yeah? So the point is what?

00:07:25.020 That this accusation that we are there for the money and the fame. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is my witness.

00:07:31.340 Wallahi al-Adeem. If I want, I can make a quarter of a million pounds a year. I can. I can have the

00:07:41.100 ability, you know, to turn on my Superchat, my Patreon, my Paypal, and this, that, etc. I choose not to,

00:07:46.700 for my personal reasons. And I'm not saying anybody that has Patreon, or Paypal, or Superchat,

00:07:51.580 for that matter, I've got bad intentions. This is the crux of the matter. This brother is having, sadly,

00:07:56.140 and I just want to advise him because I don't know much about him, but please, brother, stop,

00:07:59.420 because Allah says in the Quran, in Surah Hujurat, all you who believe, avoid much negative

00:08:04.460 assumptions. Indeed, some assumptions is a sin, and do not spy and back by each other. Would one like

00:08:10.700 to eat the flesh of his brother's dead brother? So the point is this, what evidence do you have

00:08:16.700 to claim people like myself, or anyone for that matter, is misusing the funds? And please can you

00:08:22.540 tell me, when have I ever asked for funds for myself to carry on my Dawah? When? When?

00:08:28.620 Listen, we raise for Salaam 300,000 pounds nearly. For Salaam, it's a charity. And off that 300,000 pounds,

00:08:38.140 not a single penny, I'll repeat again, not a single penny has gone into my pocket. Why? Because I am a

00:08:46.380 volunteer in that organization. Yeah? I do not get a single penny for the work that I do in that

00:08:52.340 organization. None. And I choose to do that. And this doesn't mean I'm better than other people,

00:08:57.040 or I'm more pious. So this attitude of thinking that just because I don't charge, not that I'm

00:09:02.400 saying charge, but argument saying, don't make a living out of Dawah, which there is nothing wrong,

00:09:07.300 as long as you are not like, oh, 5,000 pounds, 10,000 pounds, 3,000 pounds. No. Everyone needs a

00:09:12.660 decent amount, whatever that is for that matter, to provide for their family and get along.

00:09:17.120 Dawah don't eat grass. They're not going to eat grass. Let's be real. Yes? And it's

00:09:21.260 islamically allowed. So, therefore, and we know the evidence from the Quran, those who collect

00:09:26.520 zakah, they are even eligible to have something because that's their job. So the point is what?

00:09:31.700 Yes, he's right about people misusing the Dawah. He's right about people who are charging extravagance.

00:09:37.320 Oh, fly me out, business class. And my wife, business class. And I want 2,000 pounds per talk.

00:09:43.020 100%. I'm 100% willing with this. But to come and give people by name, where you have no single

00:09:49.040 evidence, Aki. And you are slandering. This is a slander. You've mentioned me by name. You need

00:09:55.020 to come out and apologize. Yes? Because you have now slandered myself, Gabriel Romani, Daniel

00:10:00.620 Hakikachu. You are slandering these brothers as if all we're doing is, can you please show

00:10:04.840 me evidence that I've come out and said, give me funds. I need money. Don't need to me so

00:10:09.420 I can carry my Dawah. Tell me when. I used to do Uber for a living. I used to drive a Toyota

00:10:13.780 priest that wasn't even owned by me. This house that I'm living in, on my left is the kitchen,

00:10:16.840 on my right is my living room. Right in front of me is the toilet. And over there is my

00:10:20.160 bedroom where me, my wife, and my three kids sleeping. Yes? Okay? So before you do that,

00:10:25.920 please fear Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that it is a big oppression. And not only that, forget

00:10:29.920 myself. You are tarnishing the Dawah scene as if we are all money making, hungry, you

00:10:34.760 know how much more rich I can get. Fear Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Fear Allah, brother.

00:10:39.640 What I'm going to say is that because for you to recklessly, recklessly mention these

00:10:43.960 things, you are damaging Dawah scene. And if you have this attitude of thinking, the

00:10:49.200 argument is like, let's suppose you don't make anything from YouTube, which is not, there

00:10:52.360 is nothing wrong. I didn't monetize my YouTube channel for four to five years until we got

00:10:56.800 a fatwa and YouTube allowed us to block ads. We are not money motivated or money hungry individuals.

00:11:01.780 We want to make the kalam of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and I will take an off by the Quran

00:11:05.880 if you doubt that. Yeah? So therefore, my brother, please be careful to your tongue.

00:11:10.600 The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said, and I'll end on this, that Muslim is the

00:11:14.600 one, the best Muslim is the one, that his tongue and his hands are free from oppressing

00:11:18.900 another, a Muslim. Be very careful because in this matter, you have oppressed myself and

00:11:24.460 Daniel Hakkiju and brother Gabriel Romani and whoever is for that matter. Yes, you have

00:11:28.540 made an assumption about us. So I ask you to rectify it, please. And please stop accusing

00:11:34.340 brothers. Alhamdulillah, we try our best to help individuals. And believe me, I have rich,

00:11:39.920 multi-millionaires that come to me and say, do you need funding? And I say, I don't need

00:11:45.160 a single penny. I don't want nothing. If you want to help the organization, there. Yes?

00:11:49.220 Brahman's doing amazing work. IERA, we do amazing work. Sapiens, donate to them. I am good.

00:11:55.520 So please, I ask you to refrain from this, my brother. Since you mentioned my name, I am

00:11:59.780 just making clarification. I do not know your name. You're new to this. I don't know. May Allah

00:12:04.260 bless your work. Carry on. I benefit from it. But it is sad to see that this is coming

00:12:08.420 at your mouth. And please be careful. Wallahi, the haq of people is very, very severe. The

00:12:12.640 salaf would say, we would rather stand in front of Allah with 70 sins between us and

00:12:16.180 him, rather than one sin that we wronged somebody. So please, my brother, inshallah,

00:12:20.900 for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, please acknowledge this. And I have always, always

00:12:24.580 said this before. This is a real phenomena. People are taking the dawah and turning it into

00:12:28.780 a money-making business. Yes, charging ridiculous amounts, working with charities, 20%, 25% cuts

00:12:34.560 they get. May Allah forgive us. That's what I'm going to say. And I'm not saying that

00:12:38.540 thing is haram. I'm just saying with your consciousness. That's what I'm going to say,

00:12:42.080 inshallah. Please send this to this brother, inshallah. And I hope, inshallah, he rectifies

00:12:45.440 this accusations. Until next time. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
