00:00:18.820
of the most mixed yeah i can tell i can see that yeah everyone everyone yeah it's different bro
0.65
00:00:23.500
that's cool i don't see the thing is i don't see none of that shit i don't see color bro all i see
0.90
00:00:27.920
is the people inside the goodness in their heart bro you know what i mean and in the end that's
0.91
00:00:33.380
all that matters bro that's all that matters everything that's outside is just artificial
00:00:36.680
bro yeah go on i just ask one thing because you're touching up on the point of goodness
00:00:40.700
we believe the quran teaches us the methods of how to be good good yeah to the creator and one
00:00:47.420
one thing i don't want to leave you before you go is because the definition of true goodness is
00:00:51.740
imagine if you was i'm sure you love your mom yeah but would you be a good person if you abused your
00:00:57.360
mom but was good to everybody else no of course not exactly it's like even if you abuse animals
00:01:02.200
that shows that you're not a good man you know what i mean you can't even do that because there's
00:01:06.080
a certain way even when you eat an animal dog you can't just kill it you know you gotta bless it
00:01:12.240
and then you know for example when an animal is slaughtered and we take it to wear them
00:01:17.080
so other animals don't see it yeah because it stresses them out yeah so we also make sure that
00:01:21.200
the knife is sharpened because it saves them from uh more uh pain because you can get it over and
00:01:27.340
down with quickly you know but just come to the main point uh about your you said your mom if you're
00:01:31.300
bad to your mom if i'm bad to my mom and i'm good to everybody else everybody says ali my name's ali
00:01:34.980
by the way ali's an amazing person because you're talking about goodness and i think it's very
00:01:39.300
important uh is that this so what they say is that i know the analogy that i gave you between the
00:01:43.080
mother and the general public is that i believe true goodness is is that i could be good to
00:01:47.880
everybody but if i don't show gratitude to the one i believe in the creator if i don't show gratitude
00:01:52.320
to him and what he's given to me it doesn't matter what he doesn't matter what you do it doesn't
00:01:56.560
matter what nobody thinks if everyone says i'm a good person but i'm abusing the one who's giving me
00:02:00.580
my mother my health the food that i eat the drink and everything that i have around me if i don't
00:02:04.880
appreciate and value him and don't spare you're fooling yourself you're fooling yourself it's people
00:02:09.400
trick themselves to believe in their good and read ali look i'm gonna tell you right now dog

00:02:56.740
what we can see because we can sometimes you can observe things you're a good man you see you

00:03:03.640

0.97
00:03:18.760
better what see this is the thing like you know i read i listen bro i listen i listen to what people
00:03:25.060

00:03:30.180

0.99
00:03:40.140
you know and in the end now like i'm not saying i'm the worst person in the world you know but in
0.99
00:03:46.160
the end yeah even though i was a dancer i grew up in the hood dog you know i i i fucking grew up
0.99
00:03:51.420
around crazy motherfuckers all my life dog people shooting each other i know some crazy killer people
0.99
00:03:56.060
dog and and it's and and that's just the way the life is out here bro if you grow up in the hood
1.00
00:04:00.740
that's what you see man so yeah what i was saying is like you're 100 right you know you're i mean
00:04:04.660
you're a good person yeah but to understand the true understanding of goodness like we have a
00:04:09.180
concept in this time called loving someone for the sake of god what that means that's unconditional i
00:04:13.240
don't love you because if i give you a gift i'm not giving you a gift with expectation in return
00:04:17.640
that you give me a gift that's not love that's you're expecting something we have this
00:04:21.140
unconditional love exactly so we have that a lot exactly so we love someone for the sake of god
00:04:25.880
what that means is i love you not because what you're going to do for me i just love you as a
00:04:29.460
human being do you get what i'm trying to say and i think to understand another concept of goodness is
00:04:32.720
to read the quran like brother muhammad said is because then you'll understand another paradigm of
00:04:37.080
goodness because that's that connection between you and your lord and you're building that connection
00:04:40.960
with him do you get what i'm trying to say so reading the quran teaches that because god tells us
00:04:44.400
in the quran how to worship him yeah and have that relationship with him and like i said before man
00:04:49.720
you know if you read the quran give it a chance you've got nothing to lose and you said that
00:04:53.640
you've done mistakes in your past if i'm not mistaken the prophet peace be upon him said all the children
00:04:57.880
of adam sin and the best of those sinners are those who repent you know that's all it says we have
00:05:03.580
made mistakes he's made mistakes we all make mistakes but in god's eyes repentance what that
00:05:07.840
means is like we also have a hadith from the prophet peace be upon him he said that the god almighty said
00:05:12.700
that if human beings were not to sin i will destroy them and bring forth another nation that sin and repent
0.83
00:05:18.900
but the thing is hold on a second why does god it's like it's god encouraging us to sin no
0.72
00:05:23.240
what he's trying to say is you're going to sin you're bound to sin yeah but what you need to
00:05:27.680
acknowledge is this you have a lord that's all forgiven and you turn to him and if i leave that
00:05:32.340
with you i know you're busy no it's the same it's you know it's the same message i've heard through
00:05:37.100
most people who who are usually religious like and and and and i it's the same message you know
00:05:42.660
islam is a way of life yeah no no no yeah well yeah for me you know i'm just saying from people i've heard it
00:05:47.360
from usually are from other religions and they're usually extreme religious people you know what i
00:05:51.360
mean so i'm not extreme like that yeah i was grace catholic but it's not not by choice yeah i didn't
00:05:56.500
get you are you are extreme you're extremely kind you know you guys are good too man you guys are
00:06:01.420
great people i really appreciate for your time man
00:06:03.140
peace man that's my crew um this uh they call me mark the spot my name is marcos though um born and
00:06:12.420
raised in l.a man and just you know you want to show us something for the camera yeah yeah that's a good
00:06:20.560
what was that okay yeah oh no oh no that's it that's it what's up man
00:06:32.840
dedication and passion you know it was a pleasure man everything i learned dog has been through dance
00:06:40.820
yeah majority of things i come to understand have been to dance exactly you know everything i've look
00:06:47.420
man most people have talked to me yes but everything that has come to me yeah i don't know
00:06:52.000
where it came from bro the thoughts just come to me and i know it's the universe speaking to me
00:06:55.980
you know so i listen now because every time i ignored it i made bad choices bro i mean this is it
00:07:02.480
bro yeah of course yeah this is the universe speaking to you directly yeah yeah and i know i know it is
00:07:07.180
that's why i'm paying attention bro that's why i let the energy come to me because i don't i don't
00:07:11.240
reject things you know no more bro i'm i don't i don't also take everything in but i don't allow
00:07:17.500
myself to not learn something new because i know it's only going to make me better yeah you know so
00:07:22.540
when you say universe speaking to do you mean like these signs that you see everything bro even you
00:07:26.240
guys but what we say is this yeah like i said you know when we take it to another level yeah
00:07:28.820
we believe there's a creator and that creator's made this creation and he will send you signs
00:07:34.000
within the creation so you should you could take your to another level you can take to another
00:07:40.220
level find that connection with god read the quran if you can and you've got nothing to lose and then
00:07:44.260
you'll realize that it wasn't the creation but it was the creator that was using the creation to send
00:07:48.560
you the message yeah thank you man i'm gonna let you go man thank you guys i really appreciate you
00:07:53.460
you know what what you said there was actually something in the quran is a verse really yeah it goes
00:07:58.180
that will certainly show them the science will show will certainly show them the signs in the
00:08:05.900
universe and within themselves until they know it's the truth yeah bro because i listen now i made too
00:08:11.600
many mistakes already not to listen you know what i mean like so i i follow my what i feel is best for
00:08:16.940
me because my look my half of my family was in the military the other half was in gangs bro
00:08:22.480
i ended up being a dancer bro yeah you know so i broke that cycle from my family you know i'm
00:08:28.340
breaking a cycle now bro we're we're coming out of that because i didn't decide to do what they
00:08:32.880
you saw the negativity i turned it positive because i was too i look man i have a lot of anger
00:08:42.420
i know this it's something i struggle with every day bro but it has a lot to do with the way i grew
00:08:49.600
up yeah i grew up in a very traumatic life you know i seen a lot of violence my parents were drug
0.98
00:08:54.500
addicts bro i fucking you know i told you guys i seen this shit dog like but in the end i don't let
1.00
00:08:59.420
that determine who i am you know what i mean in the end this is who i am this is what i do people
1.00
00:09:03.600
like you are in evidence for those who say oh i was brought from this life yeah and and their product
0.99
00:09:07.920
of their environment that's bullshit bro that's bullshit because you have a choice my parents were drug
1.00
00:09:12.600
addicts bro my fucking family were half in gangs and the other half weren't in the military
1.00
00:09:16.200
so there's no excuse dog in the end it's your choice it's your choice but for me fortunately
1.00
00:09:22.980
i had people around me that led me to that path maybe that was the universe you know you know
00:09:31.040
guiding me or the one who created the universe yeah the creator you know that was him yeah you know and
00:09:36.980
and and he just guided me and and and i was subconsciously just not but now i'm consciously
00:09:44.000
doing it now i'm really listening now i'm like oh i'm looking for the signs yeah i look for
00:09:49.280
everything and because we're we're a creation as well yeah we're sending you sign thank you man
00:09:53.940
appreciate we ask we ask allah to guide you god almighty to guide you and give you the best in
00:09:57.980
this stuff in the hereafter man likewise brother take care
