Ali Dawah - BUILDERS HEART WARMING DAWAH TO WORK COLLEAGUES

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend, Ayesha, to talk about her faith and how it has changed her life. She shares her story of how she came to know her Creator and how she found her purpose and purpose in life.

00:00:00.000 So if I was to put my compass down at work, I've got that app on my phone where it shows me the

00:00:03.960 direction. Yeah, of course I do. Yeah. When do you pray? What do you pray for? No, there's a set prayer.

00:00:10.380 There's like five daily set prayers, which I do at set times, like sunrise, lunchtime, afternoon,

00:00:16.820 evening and nighttime. Fajr, Zohar, Asa, Maghrib and Isha. They're the five daily prayers.

00:00:23.400 You know what? I couldn't be any other way. I couldn't live any other way now I've found Islam.

00:00:28.940 I couldn't. I couldn't drift and wander a little bit, but I couldn't live another life because I

00:00:35.380 would just break. I just couldn't function because the inner peace that I get from knowing my God

00:00:40.480 and my creator and worshiping my God and my creator the way he's legislated, it just fulfills me

00:00:46.720 completely. All the mistakes that I make in my life, that fulfills me. I make mistakes,

00:00:52.900 bruv, on a daily, on a daily. And I say things and I do things and this and that. But the peace

00:00:57.840 that I have, knowing that I've found Islam and found Allah, it's uncomparable to drugs,

00:01:04.280 drink, women, this, this, this. It's just nothing compares. Nothing. I've done my fair share. 1.00

00:01:09.920 I'll be honest with you. When I was younger, I've done my fair share. I've popped more pills

00:01:14.920 than I care to mention, you know. But nothing makes me happier than just praying or knowing

00:01:21.220 or just knowing daily that I'm a Muslim. That's it. Yeah, nothing makes me happier. I joke and I

00:01:27.660 laugh at work and in the gym and in the other places. But when it comes down to it, yeah,

00:01:32.000 that's how I feel inside. That's my, that's my belief. We call it in Arabic, Iman. That's my

00:01:37.180 Iman. You can. Who's stopping you? Who's stopping you? Listen, there's always going to be atrocities.

00:01:44.600 There's always going to be wars and it's heartbreaking and you feel it. I feel it. Anyone with any

00:01:49.420 compassion feels it. But that's not the fault of the religion. There's no religion that says

00:01:54.300 go and kill the baby or go and kill the innocent person. You know what? Let me explain to this 0.92

00:02:00.020 because people say this all the time. If there was a God, why is there death? Why is there cancer?

00:02:03.620 Why is there war? Right. But imagine life is a massive big screen with a film on it. Now screens

00:02:11.380 are made of pixels, aren't they? Imagine that we are so small, our little brain, our little

00:02:15.700 life, we are so small. Our comprehension is that we are looking at one pixel. But God,

00:02:21.520 he's standing back as if it were and he can see the whole picture, the whole story. He

00:02:26.520 really created it. He knows the past, present and future because he created time and everything

00:02:31.600 in it. So we only have an understanding. There's things that we don't know about our own

00:02:35.640 finger or our own life. You know what I mean? So how do we expect to understand them

00:02:40.580 intricacies? It's not possible. So I just know that there's a bigger plan and I trust

00:02:45.140 the plan. Even if I died, even if I, God forbid, they said you've got a terminal illness,

00:02:49.300 you're going to die in six weeks. I've got kids. I don't want to leave my kids, but that's

00:02:52.920 God's plan. And I trust God's plan. You know? Alhamdulillah, I trust it.
