Ali Dawah - ANDREW TATE NEARLY TAKEN OUT!!

00:00:00.000 I had a problem with this guy. We were texting back and forth and he stopped replying to me.

00:00:03.140 He never sent me a threat, which is quite interesting.

00:00:04.780 And then about four days later, I was walking to my car in a car park late at night.

00:00:07.400 Typical English weather. It was a little bit wet, dark.

00:00:09.440 And I heard footsteps coming fast. And as I turned...

00:00:13.000 ...to struggle reading the Qur'an daily before you instructed me to download this app.

00:00:18.560 I never knew that this app would have such an impact on people's lives.

00:00:21.860 You can go into the description box, click the link for iOS and Android,

00:00:25.020 and build your habit with the Qur'an right now.

00:00:27.520 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.

00:00:30.740 Hope you guys are well, inshallah.

00:00:31.680 I came across a video of our brother Andrew Tate.

00:00:33.920 May Allah keep him firm, inshallah, in his religion and increase him in knowledge.

00:00:37.140 He's sitting down and he seems very calm. He seems like he's safe.

00:00:41.040 And he talks about his fears. What is his greatest fears?

00:00:43.700 And he mentions how he feels more safe where he is because behind him is a vast amount of, you know, space.

00:00:48.700 And he's got security guards. He's in a cross parameters, defense, like in a fortified place kind of.

00:00:54.660 We're not going to say fortified castle.

00:00:55.640 But there's something that our brother Andrew Tate is missing and that is tawakul in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:00:59.920 We're not saying he's intentionally doing this, but maybe he doesn't know about it.

00:01:02.320 This video is specifically for him.

00:01:03.660 Before we get into that, let's watch the video and understand what are the concerns that brother Andrew Tate has

00:01:07.700 and how we can connect this to Islam and the beautiful solutions Islam offers, which is the peace of mind.

00:01:12.280 Here I am with empty space behind me and I can relax.

00:01:14.600 It's a beautiful thing. I don't sit in chairs unless the chair is to the back.

00:01:16.980 I can't sit in a room, a restaurant with my back to people.

00:01:19.640 Because no matter how good you are, somebody wants you dead and there's people walking past you all the time. 0.85

00:01:22.160 A hundred people walk past you and one of them decides to stab you.

00:01:23.620 Are you really going to detect it? Probably no.

00:01:25.500 I had a problem with this guy. We were texting back and forth and he stopped replying to me.

00:01:28.340 He never sent me a threat, which is quite interesting.

00:01:29.980 And then about four days later, I was walking to my car in a car park late at night.

00:01:32.600 Typical English weather. It was a little bit wet, dark.

00:01:34.640 And I heard footsteps coming fast. And as I turned to see what the footsteps was, he attempted to stab me.

00:01:37.660 And that's why anyone knows me well knows that my finger basically came off where I put the hand, took the knife instead of my neck.

00:01:41.380 It's kind of like people often say to me, Andrew, you know, you have all this money.

00:01:43.820 What's the most expensive thing you've got?

00:01:44.900 The true most expensive things in the world are one, peace of mind and two, time.

00:01:47.480 Peace of mind is also something else that's very expensive and it's worth so much money.

00:01:50.140 I will pay unlimited money for private security.

00:01:51.740 I'll pay unlimited money to make sure I have the table in the corner with my back to the wall.

00:01:54.540 I will pay anything it takes to have peace of mind.

00:01:56.280 I'll tell you something. When I'm in London and I'm getting a haircut, I hire out the entire barber shop.

00:01:59.040 I can't sit in that chair knowing the door's unlocked with a towel over my face,

00:02:02.640 knowing that someone can walk in that shop and stab me or that one of the other people there want me dead.

00:02:05.740 I can't do it. I buy the shop for an hour, lock the door, close the shutters, cut my hair, and I leave.

00:02:09.480 And I have two guards outside because peace of mind is invaluable.

00:02:11.620 So, guys, very, very interesting points.

00:02:13.280 So, one thing that we need to mention, brothers and sisters, is that when it comes to these kind of things,

00:02:16.320 as human beings, we usually take the aql, our logic, over the text.

00:02:21.180 Usually, we tend to fall for this a lot.

00:02:22.860 And this was one of the demises of shaitan because he took his logic over what God commanded him 1.00

00:02:26.680 and he fell into disbelief.

00:02:27.800 So, what does this mean?

00:02:29.020 Most of the times, brothers and sisters, when we go through certain traumas in our life,

00:02:32.000 we tend to be more cautious.

00:02:33.060 This is natural, human nature.

00:02:34.600 However, this sometimes goes to levels and points where I've seen people becoming obsessed

00:02:38.440 as if if they are not in control, they feel in fear.

00:02:41.620 It's as if they need to be in control.

00:02:42.640 Like, sometimes I have this as well.

00:02:44.240 When I'm on a plane, I am not secure because I don't necessarily trust a pilot.

00:02:47.560 I mean, he probably does a better job than me.

00:02:49.080 But the fact that I am not in control is an issue of a lack of tawakkul.

00:02:52.900 So, we all have this one way or another.

00:02:54.820 But there are ways of dealing with this.

00:02:56.480 So, a message to brother Andrew.

00:02:57.820 Yes, you went through this trauma where someone tried to, you know, take your life.

00:03:01.040 And after that, you know, you don't like sitting in places where you can't see behind you.

00:03:04.740 You know, if you mentioned another video where you would have close friends that you trust

00:03:07.600 that can keep an eye behind you.

00:03:08.780 You sit near walls.

00:03:10.300 You know, your back is against the wall.

00:03:12.660 You have security.

00:03:13.880 You hire out the whole barbershop, etc.

00:03:15.520 Somebody all understandable.

00:03:16.780 And we know that the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, told us that you should tie your camel. 0.98

00:03:20.400 There was a man who was going to the mosque in his time.

00:03:22.540 And he left his camel untied.

00:03:23.980 And the Prophet ﷺ said to him, why did you not tie your camel? 0.87

00:03:26.640 He said, I trust.

00:03:27.320 I put my trust in Allah.

00:03:28.300 Which is a, I want to say another extreme.

00:03:30.360 But the Prophet ﷺ told us, look, you tie the camel and then you put your trust in Allah.

00:03:34.100 So you don't jump from a 10-story building and say, oh, I'll put my trust in Allah.

00:03:37.280 You're going to die.

00:03:38.380 Do you get what I'm trying to say? 0.61

00:03:39.040 So there's a fine balance.

00:03:40.660 But we should have tawakul in Allah.

00:03:42.020 What does that mean?

00:03:42.760 That means our trust.

00:03:43.900 Like you talked about peace of mind.

00:03:45.280 Now, this is one of the concepts I had in Islam.

00:03:47.200 When it comes to coming, when I came to Islam, knowing my wealth, knowing my health is protected by God Almighty.

00:03:53.220 And what he deems that's going to happen is going to happen.

00:03:55.520 That gave me a peace of mind that I don't care.

00:03:57.440 If I open a business and I'm selling arguments, let me sell them kebabs.

00:04:02.060 I'm Kurdish, yeah.

00:04:02.760 I'm doing a kebab, yeah.

00:04:03.820 And 10 other kebab shops open next to me.

00:04:05.780 I would not give a damn.

00:04:07.560 You know why?

00:04:08.060 Because I know what's going to reach me is going to reach me.

00:04:10.260 And what's not going to reach me is not going to reach me.

00:04:12.260 It's as simple as that.

00:04:13.220 If someone intends to harm me, they would harm me even if they're in the other side of the planet.

00:04:19.100 And if somebody, if Allah willed that this person cannot harm me,

00:04:22.180 even if he's on an inch distance away from me, he will not be able to harm me.

00:04:26.200 This is our belief, my dear brother Andrew.

00:04:28.440 And what's really important here is also that if we look into the Quran,

00:04:31.700 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talks about, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,

00:04:34.280 wherever you may be, death will overcome you.

00:04:36.740 Even if you are in fortified towers, when something good befalls them, they say this is from Allah.

00:04:40.880 But when something evil befalls them, they say this is from you.

00:04:43.520 Say, O Prophet, both of them destined by Allah. 0.97

00:04:46.400 So what is the matter with you?

00:04:47.860 Okay.

00:04:48.460 And another ayah in the Quran, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,

00:04:50.360 This is enjoined on whoever has faith in Allah on the last day. 0.92

00:04:54.820 And whoever fears Allah, who is mindful of Allah,

00:04:57.560 Allah will give him a way out from places he would never have fought.

00:05:03.360 So God Almighty says, if you fear me, I will give you a way out from places you have never fought.

00:05:07.860 Yeah.

00:05:08.600 And another verse which we know is that Allah says,

00:05:11.460 Every soul shall taste death and you will be given your full compensation on the day of resurrection.

00:05:17.900 So we are going to die regardless.

00:05:20.620 Now we can do our bits to protect ourselves.

00:05:22.520 But just to give you a reminder, my brother Andrew Tate,

00:05:24.540 You can have security.

00:05:25.840 And many other people, you can have security.

00:05:27.500 Armed guards, bulletproof vest.

00:05:29.260 You know, you can be in a fortified castle like Allah says.

00:05:31.600 If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wants you to die, or wants any of us to die, 0.99

00:05:35.120 He will send a, be it an insect, or guess what? 0.96

00:05:38.280 Your heart attack. 0.93

00:05:38.960 You will die in the very, the chair that you're sitting in.

00:05:41.800 And again, this is not to, you know, this is not to make you feel like, to be scared.

00:05:45.360 The point I'm trying to say is that you should do your bit.

00:05:48.140 You should acknowledge, number one, that every soul is going to taste death.

00:05:50.800 100% understood.

00:05:51.480 We all accept that.

00:05:52.260 And that even if I'm in fortified castles, if God Almighty determines that I am going to die,

00:05:56.280 I am going to die.

00:05:57.260 So that's the one, another thing.

00:05:58.960 We need to also acknowledge, to have trust in Allah, that He's our protector.

00:06:03.600 Now, one thing that I'll recommend you, my dear brother Andrew, is that this app,

00:06:07.780 this app is called Adkarab.

00:06:09.080 Yeah, by the way, it's not mine, I'm not doing a marketing promotion, yeah?

00:06:12.380 This Adkarab, I do my morning and evening Adkarab.

00:06:14.660 Adkarab is like, not recitation, the remembrance that you do, that protects you from all kinds 1.00

00:06:19.540 of harm, be it black magic, because we believe.

00:06:21.640 Yes, you might believe in physical harm, but Andrew Tate, you're a Muslim now, we also

00:06:24.940 believe in the unseen world. 0.75

00:06:26.200 The Satan is an enemy.

00:06:28.220 Allah says in the Quran, he's an enemy, and take him as an enemy. 0.99

00:06:30.520 Just the way you are placed gives you comfort, and all this kind of stuff, because you've

00:06:34.020 got security guards, and all that kind of stuff, you need to take the same precautions

00:06:36.920 to Satan, Iblis. 0.99

00:06:38.140 You know why?

00:06:39.000 Because he's in the unseen.

00:06:40.540 We physically see things, and we're like, okay, that guy, you know, he might be carrying

00:06:43.160 something.

00:06:43.820 Satan is lurking.

00:06:45.300 The Prophet ﷺ said, Satan runs through the veins of Adam, yeah?

00:06:49.440 The point is what?

00:06:50.560 We need to take precautions against him more, because he's our biggest enemy.

00:06:54.380 He wants us in the hellfire. 0.97

00:06:55.360 The enemy that wants to harm you, he wants your body to die. 1.00

00:06:58.360 He wants to take your soul, yeah? 0.93

00:07:00.280 He wants to take your life, yeah?

00:07:01.900 But Iblis wants your soul. 0.54

00:07:03.960 And your soul is the one that's, the thing that's going to ever live.

00:07:06.580 The body's going to decay, but your soul is going to be ever living, yeah?

00:07:10.140 So the point is what?

00:07:11.100 You should take that more serious.

00:07:13.420 So if he's an enemy and take him as an enemy, your relationship with the Qur'an, Adhkar,

00:07:17.060 morning and evening Adhkar, you do it before Asr, no, after Asr, before Maghrib, and you

00:07:21.220 do it after Fajr.

00:07:22.020 This protects you from evil, evil eye, black magic, and any physical harm, except what

00:07:27.840 Allah has willed.

00:07:28.840 Meaning, you do your bit, you do your Adhkar, you read it, et cetera, you get your bodyguards,

00:07:32.380 that's fine, you do all of that.

00:07:33.600 And then you put your trust in Allah.

00:07:35.280 Not yourself, not I've got these things, no, no, no, no, no.

00:07:37.840 If Allah wills, I will die.

00:07:40.080 But if he doesn't, nobody can touch me.

00:07:42.060 Once you have this, and I'm not saying you have it or not, if you do, the beauty of Iman,

00:07:46.360 your faith will be more solid, and you'll have more peace of heart, not thinking that

00:07:50.300 everything you control is what protects you.

00:07:52.600 May Allah bless you guys.

00:07:53.520 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
