00:03:24.000 Yeah
00:03:25.000 Because he

00:03:27.000 Oh
00:03:28.000 Okay
00:03:29.000 Yeah, it's like
00:03:30.000 Okay

00:03:32.000 The battle is dying
00:03:33.000 Back to you

00:03:53.000 Okay
00:03:54.000 So you believe in yourself?
00:03:55.000 Yeah, I believe in myself
00:03:56.000 Okay
00:03:59.000 So
00:04:00.000 Any reason for example
00:04:01.000 Do you not sometimes
00:04:02.000 Understand
00:04:03.000 Okay, like
00:04:04.000 Your purpose in life?
00:04:05.000 Yeah
00:04:06.000 Like what is your purpose in life?
00:04:07.000 Why are you here?
00:04:08.000 It's like
00:04:09.000 Um
00:04:10.000 Why are you here?
00:04:11.000 Like why
00:04:12.000 Not UK
00:04:13.000 Like why
00:04:14.000 Why are you born?
00:04:15.000 In this world
00:04:16.000 In this world
00:04:17.000 So
00:04:18.000 If there is like
00:04:19.000 A higher intelligence
00:04:20.000 A higher being
00:04:21.000 Yeah
00:04:22.000 How do you make sense of the world?
00:04:23.000 What do you think?
00:04:24.000 Did this universe?
00:04:25.000 Did this come from nothing?
00:04:26.000 Is this a chance?
00:04:27.000 Basically
00:04:28.000 It's like
00:04:29.000 They
00:04:30.000 This world
00:04:39.000 And
00:04:40.000 I
00:04:41.000 So
00:04:42.000 There is
00:04:43.000 Who
00:04:44.000 Is this one
00:04:45.000 You are very famous.
00:05:01.700 Thank you.
00:05:02.860 The thing is this, is that you said that you have self-discipline.
00:05:07.400 Yeah.
00:05:07.700 So your desires of, for example, jealousy, envy, anger, these are something that you
00:05:12.880 want to control.
00:05:13.800 Yeah.
00:05:14.000 Why?
00:05:14.240 Because so you can be good to the people.
00:05:15.980 Yeah.
00:05:16.420 We need to control these emotions.
00:05:18.300 Control them so you can have good character.
00:05:20.420 Yeah.
00:05:20.800 Because the Prophet said, indeed, I was only sent to perfect righteous character.
00:05:25.540 Yeah.
00:05:25.820 The Prophet said his objective was, have you heard the word jihad?
00:05:30.400 Yeah, jihad.
00:05:31.400 Jihad, some people have a misunderstanding that it's holding wall.
00:05:34.580 Jihad is the main priority, the Prophet peace be upon him. 0.91
00:05:38.600 His main form of jihad that he taught was the jihad against oneself.
00:05:42.200 And then if I'm not mistaken, the jihadi taught about battle was maybe 10%. 0.98
00:05:48.380 Yeah?
00:05:48.840 Oh.
00:05:49.020 So jihad, what you're talking about, we call jihad.
00:05:52.160 Yeah.
00:05:52.660 So if I see somebody and I say, what was your name?
00:05:56.440 Koichi.
00:05:57.180 Koichi.
00:05:57.500 Koichi, yeah.
00:05:58.020 I'm going to ask you this a lot of times.
00:05:59.280 Yeah.
00:05:59.400 Yeah.
00:05:59.700 That's right.
00:06:00.200 Not because of your name, I forget different names.
00:06:03.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:06:03.740 So, Koichi, yeah, you look at me and say, oh, look at Ali, he looks very handsome.
00:06:09.020 Yeah.
00:06:09.660 You say, oh, you're jealous, yeah?
00:06:11.980 Or me, I look at you and I say, oh, look at these glasses, yeah?
00:06:15.280 This, I shouldn't be jealous.
00:06:16.800 Yeah.
00:06:17.120 I should be happy for you.
00:06:18.280 Oh.
00:06:18.540 I should be koichi.
00:06:20.260 Koichi? 0.72
00:06:20.800 Yeah.
00:06:21.220 Good for him.
00:06:22.360 This is fighting yourself.
00:06:24.320 When you see somebody that has something that you don't have, you want the best.
00:06:28.680 You make prayer for him.
00:06:30.020 Yeah.
00:06:30.240 You don't say, oh, why does he have this?
00:06:32.620 Yeah?
00:06:32.960 So, that's not good.
00:06:34.680 So, this is why what you said, in Islam, we have it as having good character with yourself.
00:06:41.940 Meaning, that you avoid sins.
00:06:44.300 You stay away from sins.
00:06:45.500 You try to treat people good.
00:06:47.160 Your neighbor, etc.
00:06:47.960 However, we believe the best form of character is to be thankful and appreciate the one who
00:06:56.320 created you.
00:06:57.660 Because we don't believe this universe came from nothing.
00:07:00.820 We don't believe.
00:07:01.420 Do you believe your glasses come from nothing?
00:07:04.320 Do you believe this just boom?
00:07:06.840 I don't see.
00:07:07.940 No.
00:07:08.400 Did you go, did you walk and you saw these come up?
00:07:11.140 Did you see them on the tree?
00:07:12.560 Yeah.
00:07:13.100 Did you see your glasses in the tree?
00:07:15.060 No.
00:07:15.360 No, it's not.
00:07:16.180 Okay.
00:07:16.900 You know somebody made this.
00:07:18.880 Yeah.
00:07:19.560 Yeah.
00:07:20.140 So, we believe somebody made us.
00:07:23.080 A higher intelligence.
00:07:24.740 So, you mean?
00:07:25.820 God.
00:07:26.500 God.
00:07:27.020 Creator.
00:07:27.760 Yeah.
00:07:27.900 So, that's the reason why we believe that we should have good attitude and to worship
00:07:33.480 Him.
00:07:34.180 Him alone.
00:07:35.620 Because people, Christians, they worship Jesus.
00:07:40.060 Yeah.
00:07:40.260 We don't believe God is a man.
00:07:42.200 Yeah.
00:07:42.440 We believe God is more greater.
00:07:45.040 Because God has made the universe, has made everything.
00:07:47.700 Yeah?
00:07:47.840 Yeah.
00:07:48.180 He wants us to acknowledge Him.
00:07:50.880 Yeah?
00:07:51.120 To worship Him.
00:07:52.320 Just the way your mom and dad, you respect them.
00:07:55.280 Why?
00:07:55.980 Because they look after you.
00:07:57.380 Yeah?
00:07:57.720 They brought you to this age.
00:07:59.040 So, you're good to them.
00:07:59.960 You're kind to them.
00:08:00.640 Yes?
00:08:01.020 Yeah.
00:08:01.180 You're good to your parents, yeah?
00:08:02.120 Yes.
00:08:02.460 You buy them presents.
00:08:03.320 Yeah.
00:08:03.640 Good.
00:08:04.120 Why?
00:08:04.960 Because you appreciate and value what they did for you.
00:08:09.020 So, we do the same to God.
00:08:11.860 Because God gave me my mom and dad, my health, my hands.
00:08:17.480 Do you know what I'm trying to say?
00:08:18.340 Yeah.
00:08:18.540 So, we believe God exists, you know? And you don't believe God exists?
00:08:24.840 I don't believe.
00:08:25.900 Okay. Any reason why?
00:08:28.480 Just, I don't have any reasons or some evidence.
00:08:32.520 Okay. So, look. Do you believe all this universe comes from nothing?
00:08:37.780 Can something come from nothing?
00:08:41.600 Nothing.
00:08:42.120 Yeah. So, can, mathematically, can zero equal one?
00:08:47.020 No.
00:08:47.320 No. So, that's why we know the universe cannot come from nothing.
00:08:52.120 Because it's impossible.
00:08:53.800 From nothing, nothing comes.
00:08:55.760 Yeah?
00:08:56.460 So, then, something must have caused it.
00:08:59.060 Because it cannot come from nothing.
00:09:01.280 So, something must have started this.
00:09:03.300 It's logical. It's rational. Yeah?
00:09:05.560 Like you said, when you wake up, you understand. You use your brain.
00:09:08.960 Oh, I'm awake. I will go have breakfast.
00:09:11.700 When I will cross the road, I will look left and right.
00:09:14.620 So, the car doesn't hit me.
00:09:15.800 Yeah.
00:09:16.300 Because you're using your logic.
00:09:17.820 Yeah.
00:09:18.420 But do you not use your logic and think, why am I here? Who puts me here?
00:09:23.440 You need to ask yourself this question.
00:09:25.200 Why am I here? Why are you here? Why am I here? Why am I talking to you?
00:09:28.100 What's the reason? We believe God exists.
00:09:31.920 And God has put this in this life to test us.
00:09:34.400 Yeah.
00:09:34.640 To see if we would worship him, to obey him, and to live our life the way he was.
00:09:42.360 Any question you want to ask me about Islam?
00:09:45.320 Is there anything that you want to know that you maybe have in mind?
00:09:48.080 Oh, just looking at my mind.
00:09:50.700 What is the difference between God and Jesus?
00:09:53.140 Between God and Jesus?
00:09:54.080 Okay, that's a very good question.
00:09:56.320 We believe God Almighty is someone that there is nothing like him.
00:10:02.680 Because anything that you imagine in your head is not God.
00:10:06.060 Because anything in your head, you imagine, is based on the information that you've got.
00:10:11.340 So anything in your head has a beginning and has an end.
00:10:14.420 Anything, you can think of anything.
00:10:15.720 Universe, stars, moon, chocolate, banana, everything.
00:10:19.940 None of them I would worship.
00:10:21.900 Why?
00:10:23.220 Would I worship this?
00:10:24.480 No.
00:10:25.340 Why?
00:10:25.940 Because look, what kind of a God is this?
00:10:29.040 A country.
00:10:30.280 I can't worship this.
00:10:31.440 Would I worship a tree?
00:10:33.700 No.
00:10:34.500 Because tree, if a fire comes, tree is gone.
00:10:38.320 Yeah.
00:10:39.020 So the one I worship has to be superior.
00:10:44.060 Powerful.
00:10:44.820 He's not a human.
00:10:46.420 Jesus was a human being.
00:10:48.020 We believe, as Muslims, Jesus was a prophet.
00:10:50.940 He was sent to the children of Israel. 0.95
00:10:55.540 People of the Jews.
00:10:56.540 Yeah?
00:10:56.780 Yeah.
00:10:57.500 He was sent to them.
00:10:58.860 So we say, if you was to worship, if there is a God, if I said to you, worship this man.
00:11:07.600 You think to yourself, this man is like a man like me.
00:11:13.300 Why should I worship?
00:11:14.420 Why should you worship another man? 0.70
00:11:16.300 He's the same like you.
00:11:17.340 Yeah?
00:11:17.860 Yeah.
00:11:18.620 That's why, and this man, he goes to the toilet.
00:11:21.340 He eats food.
00:11:22.360 He cries sometimes.
00:11:23.520 Yeah.
00:11:24.340 How can he be God?
00:11:26.160 Can God cry?
00:11:27.540 No.
00:11:28.240 Can God go to the toilet?
00:11:29.800 No.
00:11:30.400 I think not.
00:11:31.080 Can God eat food?
00:11:32.740 No.
00:11:33.540 Why?
00:11:33.940 Because he's God.
00:11:35.200 He doesn't need food.
00:11:36.380 He doesn't need sun.
00:11:37.340 He doesn't need to go to the toilet.
00:11:38.820 He's superior.
00:11:40.260 That is the difference between Jesus and God.
00:11:43.560 Jesus was a man.
00:11:45.040 He was a prophet.
00:11:46.240 And then after him came the final prophet, Prophet Muhammad. 0.95
00:11:49.020 Yeah?
00:11:49.560 And that's why that's the difference.
00:11:51.220 One is the one who deserves our worship.
00:11:54.380 Because he's almighty.
00:11:55.440 One is a man, some Christian people, they call him, they made him God.
00:12:00.700 He didn't ask to be God.
00:12:02.000 He never said, I worship me.
00:12:03.840 That's the difference.
00:12:04.740 Okay.
00:12:05.820 Okay.
00:12:06.320 Any more questions?
00:12:07.940 I understand that your Islam theory is like to respect person who made something for me.
00:12:15.440 Is it true?
00:12:16.080 Sorry, say that again?
00:12:16.560 Oh, so Islam theory is like to respect some person who made something for us.
00:12:24.120 Yes, yes.
00:12:25.580 So respect God for what he's done for us.
00:12:28.740 Yeah.
00:12:29.120 Yes.
00:12:29.700 So that's why, you know you said you have to have good character.
00:12:32.960 Yeah.
00:12:33.380 No jealousy, no this, this.
00:12:35.040 Why?
00:12:35.540 So you can treat people good.
00:12:37.660 We say the first person, the first thing to treat good is God.
00:12:42.520 Because what use, let me ask you, I, if, no not me, let's say somebody, yeah?
00:12:50.880 This person, when he goes home, no, no, this person, he gives in charity.
00:12:56.780 Yeah.
00:12:57.220 He's good to everybody.
00:12:59.020 Everybody say, this man is a good man.
00:13:01.840 When he goes home, he punches his mom.
00:13:06.080 Is he a good man or a bad man? 0.65
00:13:07.780 I think bad man. 0.99
00:13:08.540 He's a bad man. 0.88
00:13:09.680 Even though he's good to everyone, but he's bad to his mom. 1.00
00:13:14.000 He's a bad man. 0.89
00:13:15.100 Yeah. 0.96
00:13:15.260 That's why we say, somebody who's good to everybody, but bad to Allah is a bad person.
00:13:23.460 Because what is the use of being good to everybody, but the one who's giving you everything, you're bad to.
00:13:29.720 So that's why we say, having good character, firstly is with God.
00:13:35.120 Respect him.
00:13:35.940 Yeah.
00:13:36.280 Trying to obey him.
00:13:37.620 Yeah.
00:13:37.780 You know what I'm trying to say?
00:13:38.780 And all these things, firstly, have to be for God.
00:13:41.820 And then for the human beings.
00:13:44.360 Because you have to be good to people as well.
00:13:47.840 This doesn't mean you're bad to people.
00:13:49.220 You should be good to them.
00:13:49.540 So you mean not only God, but also everyone?
00:13:52.380 Yes.
00:13:52.720 But first, first you're good.
00:13:54.480 First you make your, you correct your affair, your relationship with God.
00:13:59.200 Yeah.
00:13:59.580 Once you do that, that's key.
00:14:02.120 Like your mom, make sure your mom is happy before anybody else.
00:14:06.100 It's not good.
00:14:06.880 You're good to everybody else.
00:14:07.980 You help everyone and your mom, you're bad.
00:14:09.440 Not good.
00:14:10.140 Your mom is priority.
00:14:11.800 Yeah.
00:14:12.000 And after your mom, then you help other people.
00:14:13.920 Yeah.
00:14:14.360 I understand.
00:14:14.660 All together.
00:14:15.900 Okay.
