00:00:11.000 Karadis how you doing?
00:00:12.000 Very good yeah thanks.
00:00:13.000 Good.
00:00:14.000 Have a nice day.
00:00:15.000 I'm a YouTuber.
00:00:16.000 Alright.
00:00:17.000 Are you a YouTuber?
00:00:18.000 Yes I do some videos.
00:00:19.000 Oh YouTuber yeah?
00:00:20.000 Ok good.
00:00:21.000 What kind of videos do you do?
00:00:22.000 Just me having fun really.
00:00:23.000 Skateboarding and being good friends.
00:00:26.000 Ok.
00:00:27.000 What else do you do with your life?
00:00:28.000 I travel around a lot.
00:00:29.000 You travel yeah?
00:00:30.000 Yeah.
00:00:31.000 Where are you from?
00:00:32.000 Lithuania.
00:00:33.000 I'm Kurdish from Turkey.
00:00:34.000 Kurdish.
00:00:35.000 So you live here?
00:00:36.000 Kind of yeah.
00:00:37.000 Well that's amazing.
00:00:38.000 Are you talking about me?
00:00:40.000 No.
00:00:41.000 I'll just ask you a quick question.
00:00:43.000 Yeah sure.
00:00:44.000 Do you believe in God?
00:00:45.000 It's a hard question for me because I came up from a Christian family but I've been questioning
00:00:52.000 a lot and right now I'm still questioning and I can't really tell you if I do or not
00:00:58.000 but it does interest me the idea because I think that there was something, some kind
00:01:03.000 of creation of somebody.
00:01:05.000 So you do acknowledge that this cannot come from nothing?
00:01:08.000 Well yeah.
00:01:09.000 Yeah.
00:01:10.000 That's good.
00:01:11.000 But I see both sides.
00:01:12.000 I try to be open minded about it.
00:01:13.000 Yeah.
00:01:14.000 So just to make you a bit more sure that there is a creator.
00:01:16.000 Yeah.
00:01:17.000 Because as Muslims we don't believe like for example God is a object or God has a mom or a
00:01:22.000 dad or a son.
00:01:23.000 We believe God is the almighty.
00:01:24.000 Okay.
00:01:25.000 He's free from any need.
00:01:26.000 He doesn't need a son.
00:01:27.000 He doesn't need a mother.
00:01:28.000 He doesn't need a father.
00:01:29.000 He's not in our creation.
00:01:30.000 Because anything that's in our creation is created.
00:01:32.000 Yeah.
00:01:33.000 Okay.
00:01:34.000 So when it comes to God almighty that for example, let me give you a good example which
00:01:38.000 I usually use.
00:01:39.000 Yeah.
00:01:40.000 This card that you have in your mind.
00:01:41.000 Yeah.
00:01:42.000 Okay.
00:01:43.000 Do you believe this is designed?
00:01:45.000 Yeah.
00:01:46.000 It is designed by the design as well as.
00:01:50.000 Designed?
00:01:51.000 Yeah.
00:01:52.000 Yeah it is.
00:01:53.000 Okay.
00:01:54.000 And also it has information in there.
00:01:55.000 Yeah.
00:01:56.000 That's information.
00:01:57.000 Yeah.
00:01:58.000 Because everything, well all the information, all the creativity goes through us.
00:02:05.000 We are designers of already design but there has to be something designed beforehand.
00:02:10.000 Exactly.
00:02:11.000 So when you look at this card and you see the information, you automatically use your faculties,
00:02:15.000 your logic and rationality and claim this can't come by chance.
00:02:18.000 There must be somebody who made it.
00:02:20.000 Even though you did not see.
00:02:21.000 Did you see the man who made this?
00:02:22.000 No.
00:02:23.000 Or the woman?
00:02:24.000 Did you see the way they made it?
00:02:25.000 No.
00:02:26.000 You realize that even though you didn't see them and even though you didn't see what
00:02:29.000 was made, you must be made.
00:02:30.000 Yeah.
00:02:31.000 And the same thing, another example I'll give you quickly is for example the information
00:02:34.000 that's on here, yeah?
00:02:35.000 Yeah.
00:02:36.000 If there's information, it requires intelligence, right?
00:02:38.000 Yeah.
00:02:39.000 That somebody, there has to be brains behind the information, yeah?
00:02:41.000 Yeah.
00:02:42.000 Of course.
00:02:43.000 So when you go and read something like, if I pronounced that right, I don't know, yeah?
00:02:46.000 Yeah.
00:02:47.000 Oh, cup it sharp.
00:02:48.000 You know that's information.
00:02:49.000 Yeah.
00:02:50.000 Therefore there has to be intelligence behind it, yeah?
00:02:52.000 Yeah.
00:02:53.000 If you look into the DNA, how the DNA works.
00:02:55.000 Yeah.
00:02:56.000 You know there's codes.
00:02:57.000 Of course.
00:02:58.000 So it's within itself, it has, you know, a language that is operating in.
00:03:03.000 Yeah.
00:03:04.000 So if there's information, what did we say?
00:03:06.000 Information requires intelligence.
00:03:07.000 Yeah.
00:03:08.000 So if there's information in the DNA, there should be?
00:03:11.000 Someone who made it, yeah.
00:03:12.000 Exactly.
00:03:13.000 So what we say is, we believe that that's God alone.
00:03:15.000 Okay.
00:03:16.000 And we believe, for example, Allah says in the Quran, say he is one, yeah?
00:03:19.000 There is nothing like him, yeah?
00:03:22.000 He does not beget nor is he begotten, yeah?
00:03:24.000 So, for example, we are told in the Quran, that God Almighty is not a man.
00:03:28.000 Because a man, we are born, we die.
00:03:30.000 Yeah?
00:03:31.000 God doesn't die.
00:03:32.000 So this is what Islam's main message is about.
00:03:34.000 That's why Christianity and Judaism, it's the same message.
00:03:36.000 Jesus came and said to the people, hear of Israel, our Lord God is one, yeah?
00:03:41.000 So we have this message, you can see, for example, there's a pattern of Judaism or Christianity and Islam.
00:03:45.000 Our message is very simple.
00:03:46.000 To live in harmony, believe in God alone, and worship Him the way you deserve to be, yeah?
00:03:50.000 Because if He is created us, He deserves the worship, yeah?
00:03:54.000 Like your mum and dad, they brought you to this age, yeah?
00:03:56.000 And you're doing skateboarding, yeah?
00:03:57.000 Yeah.
00:03:58.000 Let me try this one.
00:03:59.000 That's the best I can do.
00:04:04.000 That's the best I can do.
00:04:06.000 But your mum and dad brought you to this age, and you're thankful to them.
00:04:09.000 You're trying not to disrespect them, you're trying to honour them, yeah?
00:04:11.000 So imagine the one who gave you your mum and dad.
00:04:14.000 You gave your eyes.
00:04:17.000 You gave your handsome man, yeah?
00:04:19.000 So, for example, everything that God has given you, food that we eat, the winter that we drink.
00:04:24.000 So all God is saying, acknowledge me, and pray to me, five times a day.
00:04:27.000 But obviously that's something else.
00:04:29.000 What I would say to you is, I need to go pray.
00:04:31.000 I don't want to hold you too much, it's always cold.
00:04:33.000 You've got to show me some style, what you do with this, yeah?
00:04:37.000 But before you do that, yeah?
00:04:39.000 I would say look into Islam, read the Qur'an, give it a chance.
00:04:42.000 I still have to read my Bible, because I came from the family of Christians.
00:04:46.000 Of course, of course.
00:04:47.000 Read the Bible as well.
00:04:48.000 Before I came to Islam, I looked into the Bible, I looked into Islam, the Qur'an, etc.
00:04:52.000 So I would say do that, but give the Qur'an a chance as well, yeah?
00:04:54.000 Yeah, of course, yeah.
00:04:55.000 So, you're never going to read it, yeah?
00:04:57.000 I'm a YouTuber as well, get in contact with me.
00:04:59.000 Maybe we can do something together, yeah?
00:05:00.000 Yeah, sure.
00:05:01.000 Can you show us some skills with it?
00:05:02.000 I can't do much.
00:05:03.000 This is just for writing, right?
00:05:04.000 That's the one you're going to read it, yeah?
00:05:09.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:05:10.000 Okay.
00:05:11.000 I just use this for having fun.
00:05:12.000 No problem.
00:05:13.000 It's a pleasure, man.
00:05:14.000 Yeah, you too.
00:05:15.000 We're going to watch you go away into the sunshine.
00:05:18.000 Okay.
00:05:19.000 Holly, please.
00:05:20.000 This is one of the...
00:05:21.100 Mmm.
