00:00:00.000 We believe in the Quran as well, we love, like you believe Jesus, right?
00:00:10.000 Do you believe him as the Son of God or God himself?
00:00:14.000 You believe him as the Son of God, not God himself.
00:00:16.000 Okay, that's good, because some Christians, Trinitarians, they say, you know, Jesus is God himself.
00:00:21.000 But if you look into the Bible, know where Jesus claimed and know where Jesus said, look, I am God, I worship me.
00:00:26.000 But regarding to the Son of God matter, if you look into the Bible, in many verses, the Son of God is not mentioned only for Jesus,
00:00:33.000 but it's mentioned for many other prophets as well, and people in there.
00:00:36.000 Because what it is, if you believe in God, it means you're the Son of God.
00:00:39.000 Do you get what I'm trying to say? Because you're a believer in God.
00:00:42.000 When it means sons, it doesn't mean like a boy.
00:00:45.000 Do you get what I'm trying to say? In that context, in the Bible's context, it means you're a believer in God.
00:00:48.000 So we're all the sons of God, in that context.
00:00:50.000 But if you say, do you believe he's the literal Son, or he's the Son of God?
00:00:54.000 Yeah, like, he's the reason God just like us, not literally the Son.
00:00:58.000 He's not literally the Son.
00:00:59.000 Okay.
00:01:00.000 He's just the average person who believes.
00:01:01.000 Okay, that's great, that's great.
00:01:03.000 So even the book of Acts, chapter 2, verse 22 in the Bible, it confirms that.
00:01:07.000 It says, Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God, with wonders, miracles and signs, which God did by him.
00:01:13.000 So you're quite on the right track.
00:01:14.000 We Muslims, we just say, he was the mighty's messenger.
00:01:17.000 We love Jesus, we honour him.
00:01:18.000 There is not a single Muslim here, on this planet, that, you know, if he says, I don't believe Jesus as a prophet,
00:01:23.000 he's not a Muslim anymore.
00:01:24.000 Do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:01:25.000 That's the love we have towards Jesus.
00:01:26.000 And the Quran is the final revelation.
00:01:29.000 So the Bible came, and now the Quran is the final revelation. 0.98
00:01:32.000 The prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
00:01:34.000 Right?
00:01:35.000 Do you, what's, what's, I'm sure you've heard about it in the media, how they portray him.
00:01:38.000 Is there any misconceptions that you want to know about him?
00:01:40.000 Like, is there anything you say, you know what?
00:01:42.000 They say this, is it true?
00:01:43.000 Do you have any kind of stuff like that?
00:01:45.000 I don't know.
00:01:46.000 Firstly, I don't have like any media or anything to look at.
00:01:50.000 I don't have a telly or anything.
00:01:51.000 Oh, don't you?
00:01:52.000 Oh, that's great.
00:01:53.000 I wish I was like...
00:01:54.000 I haven't had a telly for like two years.
00:01:55.000 Okay.
00:01:56.000 I don't know anything about the media.
00:01:57.000 I don't know what's going on in the world.
00:01:58.000 Okay.
00:01:59.000 You just got around.
00:02:00.000 Okay.
00:02:01.000 Yeah, we did.
00:02:02.000 No, no, no, no.
00:02:03.000 You know what?
00:02:04.000 You know what?
00:02:05.000 You're not sad at all.
00:02:06.000 You know?
00:02:07.000 I wish I could do that.
00:02:08.000 Because you know what it is?
00:02:09.000 Our religion has been hijacked.
00:02:11.000 We have become terrorists, rapists, all kinds of stuff.
00:02:14.000 So we're here to tell them, look, we are normal like you.
00:02:16.000 You know, we have our daily day lives as well.
00:02:18.000 You know, we go to college, we go to uni, we have fun as well.
00:02:21.000 But what we do is we worship the Creator.
00:02:23.000 Because He created us.
00:02:24.000 Right?
00:02:25.000 Think of it like this.
00:02:26.000 What we've done is we've done a kind of calculation.
00:02:28.000 If I live to 70 years, right?
00:02:30.000 And you know Muslims pray five times a day.
00:02:32.000 And it takes us like five minutes.
00:02:34.000 If I live to 70 years and if I pray on time, every time,
00:02:38.000 we've only given six months to God.
00:02:40.000 Think of it like this.
00:02:41.000 He gives us food.
00:02:42.000 He gives us shelter.
00:02:43.000 He gives us sustainance.
00:02:44.000 Right?
00:02:45.000 So it's our gratitude to Him.
00:02:46.000 And that's six months in 70 years.
00:02:47.000 And that's what just shows.
00:02:49.000 God just wants us to worship Him alone.
00:02:51.000 Because in the Quran and in the Bible,
00:02:53.000 it clearly says, you know,
00:02:55.000 the only thing He would not forgive is if you associate partners with Him.
00:02:58.000 Right?
00:02:59.000 If you go and say, you know what?
00:03:00.000 Oh, this tree is God.
00:03:01.000 Or this man is God.
00:03:02.000 Do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:03:03.000 It's just...
00:03:04.000 I can give you a quick example.
00:03:05.000 Your mother looked after you, right?
00:03:06.000 To this age.
00:03:07.000 She fed you.
00:03:08.000 She looked after you.
00:03:09.000 She clothed you.
00:03:10.000 How would you like it?
00:03:11.000 How would she like it?
00:03:12.000 If you turn around to your mother and say, you know what, Mum?
00:03:13.000 You did nothing for me.
00:03:15.000 That man over there?
00:03:16.000 He looked after me.
00:03:17.000 How would she feel?
00:03:18.000 She wouldn't like it.
00:03:20.000 Do you get it?
00:03:21.000 So that's what we say to some Trinitarian Christians. 0.66
00:03:24.000 That look, do not associate partners with God.
00:03:26.000 Because He gives you everything.
00:03:29.000 Like your mother looks after you.
00:03:30.000 And then you turn around to somebody else.
00:03:32.000 Like His creation.
00:03:33.000 A tree or a statue.
00:03:34.000 And worship Him.
00:03:35.000 So do you get the concept?
00:03:36.000 Yeah.
00:03:37.000 Okay.
00:03:38.000 But is there anything else you want to ask about Islam?
00:03:40.000 Is there anything that I can answer?
00:03:41.000 Or is there anything that I haven't made sense?
00:03:43.000 Why do you want to speak to people who believe in Halloween or something like that?
00:03:47.000 Oh, believe in Halloween?
00:03:48.000 Because...
00:03:49.000 Well, today is Halloween.
00:03:50.000 And also, I did a bit of research.
00:03:51.000 It's kind of like celebrations based on Satan worshipping.
00:03:55.000 Oh, yeah.
00:03:56.000 Do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:03:58.000 Yeah.
00:03:59.000 So what...
00:04:00.000 But do you guys believe in Satan and all that?
00:04:02.000 Is that like...
00:04:03.000 Oh, no, no.
00:04:04.000 You know what?
00:04:05.000 We believe in Satan.
00:04:06.000 We believe in jinns.
00:04:07.000 Jinns are like spirits. 0.54
00:04:09.000 Spirits, right?
00:04:10.000 We believe on that.
00:04:11.000 We believe they are amongst us.
00:04:13.000 We do not see them.
00:04:14.000 But they are like us.
00:04:16.000 They live.
00:04:17.000 They will be like...
00:04:18.000 Because we believe on the Day of Judgment.
00:04:19.000 They will be judged like us.
00:04:20.000 Because we believe there's, for example, jinns that are Muslim.
00:04:23.000 That are Christian.
00:04:24.000 They live just like us.
00:04:25.000 We do not see them.
00:04:26.000 Right?
00:04:27.000 But they do exist.
00:04:28.000 Satan does exist as well.
00:04:29.000 But in the Quran, it mentions that the biggest enemy to humankind is the Satan.
00:04:33.000 Because he wants you to worship other than God.
00:04:35.000 He wants you to, you know, divert from his way.
00:04:38.000 You know, because God's...
00:04:39.000 Like I said to you.
00:04:40.000 You know, he's...
00:04:41.000 You know, like an iPhone has a guidebook.
00:04:42.000 It tells you how to live your life.
00:04:43.000 You know?
00:04:44.000 So, Satan's main job is to get us off the path.
00:04:47.000 To make us worship others.
00:04:49.000 Do drink alcohol.
00:04:50.000 Do all this kind of stuff.
00:04:51.000 Right?
00:04:52.000 So, this is...
00:04:53.000 We believe in that.
00:04:54.000 We believe in the Satan.
00:04:55.000 We believe in spirits as well.
00:04:56.000 So, yeah.
00:04:57.000 We do.
00:04:58.000 Yeah.
00:04:59.000 Anything else?
00:05:00.000 Um...
00:05:01.000 No?
00:05:02.000 About...
00:05:03.000 Maybe about women. 0.97
00:05:04.000 You know our women. 0.60
00:05:05.000 You know our women wear hijab. 1.00
00:05:07.000 Like reincarnation.
00:05:08.000 Reincarnation.
00:05:09.000 No.
00:05:10.000 That's something we do not believe in.
00:05:12.000 Like reincarnation.
00:05:13.000 But what we say is on the...
00:05:14.000 Like...
00:05:15.000 On the day of judgment.
00:05:16.000 Every human being will be resurrected.
00:05:17.000 We are all going to be resurrected.
00:05:19.000 And we are going to be judged.
00:05:20.000 Equally.
00:05:21.000 Uh...
00:05:22.000 So...
00:05:23.000 What it is like...
00:05:24.000 It's our message.
00:05:25.000 Because at the end of the day.
00:05:26.000 If you think of it like this.
00:05:27.000 Yeah?
00:05:28.000 It's my duty.
00:05:29.000 I have to come and tell you.
00:05:30.000 You know why?
00:05:31.000 Because at the end of the day.
00:05:32.000 On the day of judgment.
00:05:33.000 God can come to me and say.
00:05:34.000 You know what?
00:05:35.000 That day.
00:05:36.000 When he was walking past that lady.
00:05:37.000 Who was in that costume.
00:05:38.000 Why did you not convey the message to her?
00:05:39.000 Do you get it?
00:05:40.000 It's my duty.
00:05:41.000 It's my obligation to come and tell you.
00:05:42.000 The message of Islam.
00:05:43.000 You know?
00:05:44.000 I have to tell you.
00:05:45.000 Because at the end of the day.
00:05:46.000 There is hell at the end of it.
00:05:47.000 But the Quran doesn't say.
00:05:48.000 Okay.
00:05:49.000 Just cause you don't believe.
00:05:50.000 You are just going to go.
00:05:51.000 You are just going to go hell.
00:05:52.000 Right?
00:05:53.000 Because we need to convey you the message.
00:05:54.000 Right?
00:05:55.000 Have you ever read the Quran before?
00:05:56.000 No.
00:05:57.000 Okay.
00:05:58.000 If you sincerely.
00:05:59.000 Just give it a chance.
00:06:00.000 Open the Quran and read it.
00:06:01.000 Right?
00:06:02.000 It's the same as the Bible.
00:06:04.000 It's not the same as the Bible.
00:06:06.000 But it tells us to believe in the Bible.
00:06:09.000 But what we say is.
00:06:10.000 The Bible unfortunately got changed.
00:06:12.000 It got corrupted.
00:06:13.000 And there is historical evidence towards that.
00:06:16.000 But what it is.
00:06:17.000 We believe in the Bible.
00:06:18.000 The Old Testament.
00:06:19.000 We believe in Jesus, Moses and all the prophets.
00:06:21.000 But what we say is.
00:06:22.000 Man, change the Bible.
00:06:23.000 Right?
00:06:24.000 I don't know if you have heard of Paul.
00:06:25.000 Paul in the Bible.
00:06:26.000 No.
00:06:27.000 I don't know if you have heard of him.
00:06:28.000 Yeah.
00:06:29.000 Yeah.
00:06:30.000 Have you?
00:06:31.000 Yeah.
00:06:32.000 We say.
00:06:33.000 You know.
00:06:34.000 Paul added the Trinity in there.
00:06:35.000 The Jesus dying for our sins bit.
00:06:36.000 All that was written there.
00:06:37.000 Because Jesus never ever said.
00:06:38.000 You know.
00:06:39.000 I am God who worship me.
00:06:40.000 So what we are trying to say.
00:06:41.000 Somebody play around with it.
00:06:42.000 Think about.
00:06:43.000 If you wrote a book.
00:06:44.000 Right?
00:06:45.000 And you passed away.
00:06:46.000 God forbid.
00:06:47.000 10 years.
00:06:48.000 20 years down the line.
00:06:49.000 I get your book.
00:06:50.000 And I start adding chapters into it.
00:06:51.000 Whatever you said.
00:06:52.000 I say the opposite.
00:06:53.000 Quran came. 1.00
00:06:54.000 To clarify and say.
00:06:55.000 Look.
00:06:56.000 Man has changed that.
00:06:57.000 But this is the final revelation.
00:06:58.000 This is the final prophet.
00:06:59.000 Prophet Muhammad. 0.90
00:07:00.000 Peace be upon him.
00:07:01.000 And Jesus and Moses.
00:07:02.000 Peace be upon them all.
00:07:03.000 We love them.
00:07:04.000 Believe me.
00:07:05.000 We love them as Muslims.
00:07:06.000 To tell us mankind.
00:07:07.000 Look.
00:07:08.000 We can die any second.
00:07:09.000 There's no limit on death.
00:07:10.000 Right?
00:07:11.000 Any second.
00:07:12.000 I can go now.
00:07:13.000 And I can die.
00:07:14.000 Right?
00:07:15.000 That's why I always say.
00:07:16.000 I'm more closer to the other side.
00:07:17.000 Than this world.
00:07:18.000 Because I can just die any second.
00:07:19.000 So that's why.
00:07:20.000 What we're saying is just.
00:07:21.000 Worshipping one God alone. 0.72
00:07:22.000 But I don't want to hold you anymore.
00:07:23.000 Because I know you're doing your job.
00:07:24.000 And I can see you're a bit like.
00:07:26.000 What are you doing?
00:07:28.000 People.
00:07:29.000 Yeah.
00:07:30.000 There was a question actually.
00:07:31.000 There's a question.
00:07:32.000 Yeah sure.
00:07:33.000 I've gotten it now.
00:07:34.000 Don't worry.
00:07:35.000 I'll.
00:07:36.000 I'll.
00:07:37.000 If.
00:07:38.000 Okay.
00:07:39.000 I'm a Christian.
00:07:40.000 Yes.
00:07:41.000 So.
00:07:42.000 But even though I don't pray.
00:07:43.000 Yeah.
00:07:44.000 Every day.
00:07:45.000 Yeah.
00:07:46.000 Do you believe that.
00:07:47.000 That doesn't make me a Christian?
00:07:48.000 Even if I feel it.
00:07:49.000 Okay.
00:07:50.000 Inside.
00:07:51.000 What we say is.
00:07:52.000 What we say is this.
00:07:53.000 I'm going to give you a quick example.
00:07:54.000 Yeah.
00:07:55.000 So you're telling me like.
00:07:56.000 Okay.
00:07:57.000 If I don't practice it.
00:07:58.000 Does that still make me a Christian?
00:07:59.000 Is that what it is?
00:08:00.000 Even if I think it in my head.
00:08:01.000 Do I have to.
00:08:02.000 Okay.
00:08:03.000 To be honest.
00:08:04.000 There's a lot of Muslims out there.
00:08:05.000 That say I'm a Muslim.
00:08:06.000 But they don't.
00:08:07.000 They don't really practice.
00:08:08.000 Right.
00:08:09.000 So.
00:08:10.000 They are a Muslim.
00:08:11.000 But.
00:08:12.000 They are going to be held responsible.
00:08:13.000 Because if they know the truth.
00:08:14.000 And if they do not act upon it.
00:08:16.000 They are in trouble.
00:08:17.000 Whereas the people that are not Muslim.
00:08:19.000 Which have not.
00:08:20.000 We have not conveyed a message.
00:08:21.000 That they don't.
00:08:22.000 They don't know about Islam.
00:08:23.000 They are not held accountable.
00:08:24.000 Unless.
00:08:25.000 Like I've come to you.
00:08:26.000 And I've explained to you.
00:08:27.000 And I've said to you.
00:08:28.000 Look.
00:08:29.000 This and this and this.
00:08:30.000 Do you get it?
00:08:31.000 I'm explaining to you.
00:08:32.000 Maybe in your head you're like.
00:08:33.000 The Quran.
00:08:34.000 So what you do.
00:08:35.000 Is you probably go to the Quran.
00:08:36.000 And read it.
00:08:37.000 And have a look.
00:08:38.000 And you'll be like.
00:08:39.000 Oh my God.
00:08:40.000 This makes sense.
00:08:41.000 And what it is.
00:08:42.000 When you acknowledge that.
00:08:43.000 The truth.
00:08:44.000 You're going to follow it.
00:08:45.000 But.
00:08:46.000 What I did was like.
00:08:47.000 When I became a Muslim.
00:08:48.000 Right.
00:08:49.000 I did not take it fast.
00:08:50.000 I didn't go.
00:08:51.000 You know what.
00:08:52.000 I need to go pray.
00:08:53.000 I need to do all that.
00:08:54.000 No.
00:08:55.000 Prayers.
00:08:56.000 I took it seriously.
00:08:57.000 I said.
00:08:58.000 You know what.
00:08:59.000 I want to pray.
00:09:00.000 What I see is.
00:09:01.000 If you believe in someone.
00:09:02.000 Let me give you a quick example.
00:09:03.000 Are you married?
00:09:04.000 No.
00:09:05.000 Okay.
00:09:06.000 Let's say you're married.
00:09:07.000 Right.
00:09:08.000 You laugh.
00:09:09.000 He does not buy you flowers.
00:09:10.000 He does not clean the dishes.
00:09:11.000 He does nothing but.
00:09:12.000 He comes to you and says.
00:09:13.000 What's your name by the way?
00:09:14.000 Daniel.
00:09:15.000 He says.
00:09:16.000 Daniel I love you.
00:09:17.000 But no love.
00:09:18.000 Nothing.
00:09:19.000 No affection.
00:09:20.000 Would you believe in his love?
00:09:21.000 You wouldn't.
00:09:22.000 Right.
00:09:23.000 So what we're trying to say.
00:09:24.000 If you believe.
00:09:25.000 If you're a Christian.
00:09:26.000 Or whatever.
00:09:27.000 Your belief is.
00:09:28.000 I'm a Muslim.
00:09:29.000 If I say I'm a Muslim.
00:09:30.000 I love the Quran.
00:09:31.000 I love God.
00:09:32.000 Do you practice it?
00:09:33.000 Oh no.
00:09:34.000 Do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:09:35.000 Yes.
00:09:36.000 So what it is.
00:09:37.000 Regarding Christianity.
00:09:38.000 If you look into the Bible.
00:09:40.000 Jesus.
00:09:41.000 Peace be upon him.
00:09:42.000 Talks about.
00:09:43.000 You know prophet Muhammad.
00:09:44.000 Peace be upon him.
00:09:45.000 Is mentioned in the Bible.
00:09:46.000 Right.
00:09:47.000 Not supposed to be by name.
00:09:48.000 Like for example.
00:09:49.000 Jesus talks about.
00:09:50.000 The spirit of truth.
00:09:51.000 Right.
00:09:52.000 Basically prophesies of somebody else coming.
00:09:53.000 Right.
00:09:54.000 And the Christians say. 0.95
00:09:55.000 Oh no.
00:09:56.000 That's the Holy Spirit.
00:09:57.000 Right.
00:09:58.000 But we say no.
00:09:59.000 The Holy Spirit is already there.
00:10:00.000 So this is what Jesus says.
00:10:01.000 I'm going to quote it to you.
00:10:02.000 He says.
00:10:03.000 He when the spirit of truth shall come.
00:10:04.000 He shall guide you unto all truth.
00:10:05.000 As he hears.
00:10:06.000 He shall speak.
00:10:07.000 And he shall glorify me.
00:10:08.000 Right.
00:10:09.000 And he goes on and on.
00:10:10.000 I just want to give you an example.
00:10:11.000 It says.
00:10:12.000 When Jesus goes.
00:10:13.000 Because you know Jesus.
00:10:14.000 We believe he didn't die.
00:10:15.000 He was raised up to heaven.
00:10:16.000 Okay.
00:10:17.000 So when he says.
00:10:18.000 That's a sign.
00:10:19.000 Because the prophet.
00:10:20.000 Muhammad peace be upon him.
00:10:21.000 Came 600 years later.
00:10:22.000 He says.
00:10:23.000 He shall guide you unto all truth.
00:10:24.000 We say.
00:10:25.000 Look.
00:10:26.000 That's the Quran.
00:10:27.000 But the two main points here.
00:10:28.000 Are very crucial.
00:10:29.000 Because he says.
00:10:30.000 He shall not speak of himself.
00:10:31.000 As he hears.
00:10:32.000 He shall speak.
00:10:33.000 And historically.
00:10:34.000 Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. 0.99
00:10:35.000 Did not know how to read or write.
00:10:36.000 He got the revelation.
00:10:37.000 He heard it.
00:10:38.000 And he spoke it to his disciples.
00:10:39.000 And today.
00:10:40.000 There are millions of Muslims.
00:10:41.000 That know the entire Quran by heart.
00:10:42.000 That's how it was.
00:10:43.000 It's oral transmission.
00:10:44.000 And the fourth part.
00:10:45.000 It says.
00:10:46.000 He shall glorify me.
00:10:47.000 Now.
00:10:48.000 You remember when I told you.
00:10:49.000 There's not a single Muslim.
00:10:50.000 He's a Muslim.
00:10:51.000 Unless he.
00:10:52.000 If he rejects Jesus.
00:10:53.000 It says.
00:10:54.000 He shall glorify me.
00:10:55.000 There is not a single religion.
00:10:56.000 On this planet.
00:10:57.000 That loves Jesus.
00:10:58.000 And glorifies Jesus.
00:10:59.000 And believes in all his miracles.
00:11:00.000 Except Islam. 1.00
00:11:01.000 No other.
00:11:02.000 You know.
00:11:03.000 We've got a chapter of Mary.
00:11:04.000 You know.
00:11:05.000 Jesus' mother.
00:11:06.000 We've got a whole chapter of Mary.
00:11:07.000 In the Quran.
00:11:08.000 Do you get it?
00:11:09.000 And we love and respect him.
00:11:10.000 So.
00:11:11.000 That's what it is.
00:11:12.000 But I highly recommend you to read the Quran.
00:11:13.000 Really nice talking to you sister.
00:11:14.000 Thank you very much for your time.
00:11:16.000 And hope you have a nice time.
