00:00:27.300 fans welcome back dave shafel somebody i used to watch before i came to islam and sometimes during

00:00:32.940 my time of islam a halal joth of course he's somebody who's um uh been in movies uh funny ones so he's

00:00:41.120 known as a comedian uh one of the most funniest comedians of our time um but not many of us know

00:00:48.180 much things about him so he has a little interview and in this interview he opens up um about being a

00:00:54.020 which i myself knew but it seemed like to a lot of people it was a surprise i guess people didn't

00:00:58.640 know um we're gonna watch that and also we're going to elaborate on inshallah what caused him

00:01:04.380 to come to islam when he came to islam and him as a person what can we learn from this inshallah 0.97

00:01:10.520 let's get straight into it and watch you're you're a muslim i am when did you become muslim i was 17

00:01:18.220 what were the circumstances i don't know it was like believing in god and stuff

00:01:21.880 i'm not like you know i mean i should preface this by saying it's not like i'm good at it

00:01:29.380 when i was 17 i was living in washington and there was a pizza shop across from my house

00:01:37.060 and it was like all these muslim dudes that worked in there and i used to go in there crack jokes 0.74

00:01:42.140 and i also i was a naturally curious guy and i would ask him questions about his religion it was in the

00:01:47.880 guy was so passionate about it it was very compelling i like the perspective of it and i

00:01:53.100 think these things informed my decision that i wanted to have a meaningful life a spiritual life

00:01:59.520 okay that's interesting so what we're going to do guys is we're going to go to a verse in the

00:02:05.140 because it's very very important for us to put this into context a lot of bigots um those be the far

00:02:12.380 right and islamophobes in general think that in the por'an the physical jihad is the biggest form

00:02:19.440 of jihad like you know that's the only form of jihad that you can do against you know like one

00:02:24.260 defender let's have to be offensive or defensive yeah um but that's not actually the case and there

00:02:28.940 is a verse that actually supports this and this verse was shown to me by ustad jamal um and i want to

00:02:33.700 show that to you guys inshallah and see what allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says about what is one of the

00:02:38.020 greatest forms of jihad allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says for example sahih international says so do not

00:02:52.020 obey the disbelievers and strive against them with a great striving what is a great striving yeah 1.00

00:02:57.320 because allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says at the end of the verse kabira yeah jihadan kabira

00:03:02.180 the quran this is talking about the quran so it shows to us brothers and sisters that the most

00:03:08.940 powerful thing that you have is not the sword is not nuclear bombs as muslims not weapons of mass

00:03:15.780 destruction yeah no it's the quran the quran is the biggest weapon that we have and that is the reason 1.00

00:03:24.360 why today you have france to islamophobes in speaker's corner to around the world and their only fear

00:03:32.080 is what they pretend it's jihad the one that they the false jihad that they talk about of these

00:03:37.380 um isis um supporters who go and commit atrocities um and they think this is a threat and they know

00:03:45.200 very well it's the quran that they fear the most because hundreds thousands millions of people come 1.00

00:03:50.540 to islam and this is exactly their biggest fear with dave chapelle for him was what going to a pizza

00:03:58.660 shop to crack a few jokes being a little curious look at the people who come to islam being myself

00:04:04.580 and many other people what is it it was the kitab of Allah the quran it was the dawah that was given

00:04:10.360 to us that changed us that made us who we are like umar abhi khattab said with this book allah has raised

00:04:16.800 us and if we turn our back against this book allah will humiliate us and that's exactly what is

00:04:21.440 happening barman sisters quran is the biggest weapon a believer has and the dua is after that of course 1.00

00:04:28.900 the dua as well so you can see barman sisters him going to a pizza shop and listen to somebody where

00:04:34.580 he himself says was so passionate was probably talking about islam the quran etc and that moved

00:04:40.980 him that thing there just going to a pizza shop and somebody doing dawah like i mentioned in my

00:04:46.980 previous video about khabib uh you can watch that as well where i talk about dawah is not just having

00:04:51.640 youtube channels and you're such a knowledgeable person no for people to just see you practicing or

00:04:57.320 being passionate and talking about it it keeps them curious so it's very important for us to

00:05:02.560 accomplish this let's carry on uh watching inshallah reading about you being muslim and they referenced

00:05:08.740 something that i was fascinated by the well of zam zam there's a well called zam zam it's in saudi arabia and

00:05:16.340 the myth goes that a family walking through this desert dying of thirst and this endless well presents

00:05:24.940 itself you and i could go see it right so i could go see it you probably have to make some phone calls

00:05:29.380 have you have you been there i have it's only welcome to muslims it's not a tourist location 1.00

00:05:40.620 no nor should it be the man is the prophet abraham and his wife the word zam zam that you guys speak

00:05:47.740 here literally means stop stop because when it was commanded that this well would appear the water

00:05:54.000 gushed forth so much that the wife screamed stop stop is because it was so overwhelming and they say

00:06:00.840 that it's an inexhaustible well the thing that comforts me about it is the idea that all of this is from a

00:06:07.700 singular source that this source is ultimately kind and even though we may not understand the

00:06:13.060 intentions of this source they were all connected and bounded by you know like it's not as it's been

00:06:17.940 presented in the public space is such a narrow and and dismissive view of of a religious belief it's a

00:06:25.300 it's a beautiful religion like a beautiful religion amazing amazing boss i just want to touch up on a few

00:06:32.020 things here which he mentioned which is very important subhanallah um and you can see he's

00:06:36.580 very firm with his beliefs because he even said the place it's not a tourist place and it should not

00:06:40.500 be a tourist place so it's quite blunt you know a lot of us muslims today would be that oh yeah no

00:06:44.980 it's make the hundred exclusive yeah it's not a tourist place and it shouldn't be it's for muslims 1.00

00:06:48.580 simple as that look what he says he mentioned the few attributes of allah subhanahu wa ta'ala let's listen to

00:06:53.540 it the idea that all of this is from a singular soul all of this is from a singular singular source

00:06:59.620 what is that say he allah is one from a singular source not the trinity not a million gods not

00:07:08.900 this not that from a singular source ahad he is one that this source is ultimately kind

00:07:15.860 allah subhanahu wa ta'ala the most merciful the very merciful talking about allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's mercy

00:07:23.380 for those who have sinned for those who have progressed never despair the mercy of your lord

00:07:27.780 for you to think that allah will not forgive your sins is a greater sin than any action you do in

00:07:34.260 this life you know why because the moment you say that is what you are saying my sin is greater than

00:07:40.580 allah's mercy allah is saying in every single chapter of the quran except one and you 0.76

00:07:48.660 think allah gave this an attribute to himself of being the most merciful over hadith and quran and

00:07:52.580 hundreds of verses and you're going to come here and think your sin is greater than allah's mercy

00:07:57.220 never never it is greater than allah's mercy and there is a hadith of the prophet sallallahu

00:08:02.820 ah wasallam where two people where allah will tell both of them to enter the hellfire because of what

00:08:08.020 they've done one would run and the other would walk in a sloppy way you know like

00:08:15.220 walking with disappointment and allah he knows and he's just asking though he knows

00:08:22.820 he asks the first one why are you running to the hellfire why is it when i said you go to hellfire

00:08:27.460 you rush to it and he says oh allah on earth i did not obey you i thought that for once you have

00:08:36.500 commanded me to do something i thought let me run and at least obey allah for one thing he's done

00:08:41.940 one thing at least i listen to one thing he's told me to do allah says enter paradise look at this into

00:08:48.180 paradise he says to the second one why are you walking and keep looking back he said oh allah i knew you to

00:08:56.100 be the most merciful and i was looking for that mercy allah says enter my paradise allah is looking

00:09:04.420 for any reason to enter you to paradise so let's move on so the source of ultimate ultimately kind

00:09:10.500 even though we may not understand the intentions of this source they were all connected and bounded by it

00:09:16.020 so here you might be talking about allah yeah yeah he is the most wise sometimes we do not know

00:09:23.780 thing we do not understand things things don't make sense to us why is this happening to me

00:09:28.180 why brothers and sisters to have to walk on and have trust in allah that you know that he's got

00:09:36.100 something good for you and he's never going to leave in despair is a sign of iman i think that's it i will

00:09:42.980 islam is not as it's been presented in the and then she got ends with talking about islamophobia and

00:09:52.580 how they have tried to distort islam and they will try and while like it does nothing but bring more 0.98

00:09:58.340 people to islam be it these attacks against the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam's character

00:10:02.500 whatever it may be these things are going to bring more people to islam because you plan on allah 0.67

00:10:08.820 plans and he's the best of plans the ifshipaul is a muslim and he subhanallah had a 50 million pound

00:10:15.540 contract with comedy central which he turned his back against and he went to africa to you know

00:10:22.340 getting back in connection with spirituality and it shows that brothers sisters he's not someone that

00:10:27.300 cares about money because if he did he would not reject that people were calling him crazy

00:10:30.980 uh so that's it brothers sisters uh if you didn't know yeah ifshipaul is a muslim

00:10:34.580 may allah keep him firm and his brothers are muslim apparently as well um so alhamdulillah uh people

00:10:39.140 come to islam from all walks of life with us allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to forgive us enter us into

00:10:43.860 jannah till next time assalamu alaikum wa alaikum wa barakatuh and smile to jannah will be releasing a video
