Let's see how the glasses look on you, put it on
00:01:26.000
Do you know anything or you don't know anything?
00:05:02.860
The thing is this, is that you said that you have self-discipline.
00:05:07.700
So your desires of, for example, jealousy, envy, anger, these are something that you
00:05:20.800
Because the Prophet said, indeed, I was only sent to perfect righteous character.
00:05:25.820
The Prophet said his objective was, have you heard the word 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.
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%.
00:05:49.020
So jihad, what you're talking about, we call jihad.
00:05:52.660
So if I see somebody and I say, what was your name?
00:06:00.200
Not because of your name, I forget different names.
00:06:03.740
So, Koichi, yeah, you look at me and say, oh, look at Ali, he looks very handsome.
00:06:11.980
Or me, I look at you and I say, oh, look at these glasses, yeah?
00:06:24.320
When you see somebody that has something that you don't have, you want the best.
00:06:34.680
So, this is why what you said, in Islam, we have it as having good character with yourself.
00:06:47.960
However, we believe the best form of character is to be thankful and appreciate the one who
00:06:57.660
Because we don't believe this universe came from nothing.
00:07:08.400
Did you go, did you walk and you saw these come up?
00:07:27.900
So, that's the reason why we believe that we should have good attitude and to worship
00:07:35.620
Because people, Christians, they worship Jesus.
00:07:45.040
Because God has made the universe, has made everything.
00:07:52.320
Just the way your mom and dad, you respect them.
00:08:04.960
Because you appreciate and value what they did for you.
00:08:11.860
Because God gave me my mom and dad, my health, my hands.
00:08:18.540
So, we believe God exists, you know? And you don't believe God exists?
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?
00:08:42.120
Yeah. So, can, mathematically, can zero equal one?
00:08:47.320
No. So, that's why we know the universe cannot come from nothing.
00:09:05.560
Like you said, when you wake up, you understand. You use your brain.
00:09:11.700
When I will cross the road, I will look left and right.
00:09:18.420
But do you not use your logic and think, why am I here? Who puts me here?
00:09:25.200
Why am I here? Why are you here? Why am I here? Why am I talking to you?
00:09:34.640
To see if we would worship him, to obey him, and to live our life the way he was.
00:09:45.320
Is there anything that you want to know that you maybe have in mind?
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.
00:10:15.720
Universe, stars, moon, chocolate, banana, everything.
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.
00:11:18.620
That's why, and this man, he goes to the toilet.
00:11:46.240
And then after him came the final prophet, Prophet Muhammad.
00:11:55.440
One is a man, some Christian people, they call him, they made him God.
00:12:07.940
I understand that your Islam theory is like to respect person who made something for me.
00:12:16.560
Oh, so Islam theory is like to respect some person who made something for us.
00:12:29.700
So that's why, you know you said you have to have good character.
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.
00:13:09.680
Even though he's good to everyone, but he's bad to his mom.
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.
00:13:38.780
And all these things, firstly, have to be for God.
00:13:54.480
First you make your, you correct your affair, your relationship with God.
00:14:02.120
Like your mom, make sure your mom is happy before anybody else.
00:14:12.000
And after your mom, then you help other people.
00:14:20.320
If you have any more questions, you can ask me.
00:14:24.060
Would you like, can I give you a leaflet, something to read?
00:14:55.940
You see, these Arabs, they are fighting over petrol prices.
00:15:21.640
I haven't already got any help with a product here.
