00:00:00.000 I live with post-traumatic stress syndrome.
00:00:03.160 I take medication.
00:00:04.520 I've been in Gaza with military and my brothers in arms.
00:00:09.180 And we took out families in the middle of the night.
00:00:14.700 Just imagine the people back in the day
00:00:16.600 when they would have to travel certain distances for months or even years.
00:00:20.260 What is one thing that they would carry with them?
00:00:22.800 The Quran.
00:00:23.880 Why?
00:00:24.240 Because they did not have it on their mobile devices or their gadgets.
00:00:27.620 Brothers and sisters, imagine you have an app, the Qur'ani app,
00:00:31.140 which not only shows you how much rewards you get,
00:00:34.120 but reminds you to read the Quran, gives you reminders.
00:00:37.860 Download the Qur'ani app now and let it testify for you on your muqiyamah
00:00:41.620 that you read it wherever you was.
00:00:44.100 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:46.620 You guys may have seen the video from brother Muhammad Ali from Muslim Lantern
00:00:50.140 who does an amazing, amazing videos.
00:00:52.760 Alhamdulillah, may Allah bless him.
00:00:53.640 He is a great gem in the dawah.
00:00:55.400 May Allah preserve him, inshaAllah.
00:00:56.400 His dawah table in Leicester Square and himself.
00:00:58.340 So he done a video with an IDF soldier randomly who came on his post
00:01:01.560 and he ended up taking a shahadah.
00:01:03.540 Here is some clips.
00:01:04.400 Let's just see some of these clips, inshaAllah,
00:01:05.840 where we can react to it, inshaAllah.
00:01:07.200 But also a very important message to all of us, subhanAllah,
00:01:10.080 that when he came on it, myself as well,
00:01:11.940 I was very angry to the stuff that he said, etc.
00:01:13.620 None of us expected him to take his shahadah. 0.92
00:01:16.040 And Quran says this is very important for us not to judge people,
00:01:18.400 no matter how bad they are.
00:01:20.000 And it shows the difference between our judgment
00:01:21.820 and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's judgment, inshaAllah.
00:01:23.820 Let's watch some of these videos.
00:01:24.660 My friend, my friend, I live with post-traumatic stress syndrome.
00:01:29.140 I take medication.
00:01:30.440 I take Xanax and I take Olazapine and Cetraline.
00:01:34.280 So trust me, I've seen many bad things.
00:01:36.660 I'm not here to be an enemy to you.
00:01:40.120 I actually really like your channel.
00:01:43.020 But yeah, I'm not going to lie.
00:01:44.660 I'm a Zionist.
00:01:45.540 I want...
00:01:45.980 They're not going to have safety.
00:01:46.620 How are you going to have safety in the countries around them?
00:01:47.980 I've been in Gaza with military and my brothers in arms.
00:01:52.360 And we took out families in the middle of the night.
00:01:55.940 And we took pictures of the kids and the parents.
00:02:00.140 And so I don't lie.
00:02:02.020 And I started to question myself about Zionism.
00:02:06.140 It's a national thing.
00:02:07.260 It's got nothing to do with Judaism.
00:02:10.780 Do you have a Jewish family?
00:02:12.600 Do you have people there?
00:02:13.960 Is that what you're saying?
00:02:14.540 Half-half?
00:02:15.000 Half-half, yeah.
00:02:16.140 Okay.
00:02:16.940 So look, this is the thing.
00:02:17.940 I think a lot of Jewish people would call themselves Zionists 0.76
00:02:21.420 just because other people call themselves Zionists.
00:02:23.600 They don't do their own research.
00:02:25.640 And check actually what's going on.
00:02:26.620 See the massacres that are taking place.
00:02:27.880 You said yourself, you went to Gaza and you saw.
00:02:29.360 That's why it changed you.
00:02:30.120 Made you question actually what you believe.
00:02:31.260 What you've been told by the Israeli media.
00:02:32.920 Brother, trust me.
00:02:33.760 I cried many times because I saw the children.
00:02:36.540 They were scared.
00:02:37.940 And we're coming in with heavy weapons into their home.
00:02:41.020 Were you in the army?
00:02:41.640 Were you in the Israeli army?
00:02:42.800 Yes, I was in the Israeli army.
00:02:44.900 And we took pictures.
00:02:46.840 And we searched for weapons.
00:02:49.260 And sometimes we took in dogs to the house.
00:02:51.620 And the children get scared, you know.
00:02:53.320 I didn't feel good for that.
00:02:55.760 And I hope God will forgive me.
00:02:57.180 But it was my job.
00:02:58.660 I served five years.
00:02:59.860 I did one year training.
00:03:01.480 Then I served for the idea.
00:03:03.100 Well, this is the thing.
00:03:04.440 And the thing I don't understand, Orthodox Jews and you guys, 1.00
00:03:08.520 you are really close.
00:03:10.060 And still there is war.
00:03:11.880 So I don't blame the Orthodox Jews.
00:03:13.400 I blame the other people, Europeans. 1.00
00:03:15.620 And I'm not going to lie to you. 0.57
00:03:17.880 Before, for like five, six years ago, I hated Arabs. 0.98
00:03:21.360 I hated not only Arabs. 1.00
00:03:23.060 Immigrants. 0.99
00:03:23.640 I was like a fascist. 0.96
00:03:25.380 Well, I'll tell you one thing.
00:03:26.120 I'll tell you one thing.
00:03:26.780 I'll tell you two things, actually.
00:03:27.860 First, where did you serve?
00:03:29.040 Like which part?
00:03:29.560 In Gaza?
00:03:29.900 Did you go to Gaza at that time?
00:03:31.100 Or was it in this conflict or before?
00:03:32.760 No, no.
00:03:33.260 Before.
00:03:33.720 Like three years ago.
00:03:34.760 Three years ago.
00:03:35.240 Okay.
00:03:35.600 You see, this is because a lot of people think this all started October the 7th.
00:03:38.300 They don't know all of these things have been happening for years and years and years.
00:03:40.400 No, it's been 75 years.
00:03:42.260 So look, I'll tell you this.
00:03:43.800 Look, a lot of people, they might have hatred towards you.
00:03:46.260 And they're talking like they don't like, because what you said you did or go, what
00:03:49.220 do you see happening to the children and all of that.
00:03:50.420 But this is the difference between us as humans acting emotionally and Allah. 0.86
00:03:53.160 Allah Azza wa Jal is a forgiving God.
00:03:54.380 He is a forgiving and merciful creator.
00:03:56.120 And the Prophet, A.S., he told us of a story of a man who killed 99 souls. 0.96
00:04:00.300 Then he went to a monk and he asked him, is there any forgiveness?
00:04:03.280 So the monk said no.
00:04:03.900 So he killed the monk.
00:04:04.420 Then he went to the person of knowledge and he said to him, is there any forgiveness?
00:04:07.000 So the person of knowledge told him, who can close the door of repentance for you?
00:04:09.700 No one can stop the forgiveness of God from coming to you.
00:04:11.560 No one can stop God from forgiving.
00:04:12.700 That's actually what's drawing me to Islam. 0.99
00:04:15.200 Because in the Bible, we kill children, women, animals, everything. 0.98
00:04:19.240 I know, I know.
00:04:19.740 I've read the Bible.
00:04:20.400 I've read like 1 Samuel chapter 15, verse 3, for example.
00:04:22.860 Or what Jeremiah was doing, going around, killing the children, taking over the land from
00:04:26.200 the Canaanites.
00:04:26.700 I know.
00:04:27.040 I understand.
00:04:27.580 And they told you these things and they teach you these things and they tell you this is
00:04:30.000 the right thing to do.
00:04:30.560 This God, which God chosen people, you're doing the right thing.
00:04:32.720 But you deep down, because you have a conscious, as a human being, you start feeling,
00:04:35.340 you know, this is not the right thing to do.
00:04:36.520 When you look at a child, you're still a human being.
00:04:37.960 You're fine.
00:04:38.520 You're a lot better than if someone wants to become Muslim in like Tel Aviv or something 1.00
00:04:42.800 like that.
00:04:43.060 If he wants to become Muslim there, he's got a lot of things to worry about.
00:04:45.860 You, on the other hand, you are in a country where you shouldn't have a problem by doing
00:04:50.120 that, by accepting Islam.
00:04:51.120 If it was the friends, no one can have a better friend or a better protector than Allah,
00:04:56.060 Azza wa Jalla.
00:04:57.000 Yeah, but I've just been scared.
00:04:58.840 I don't want to lie.
00:05:00.060 If I go and visit a mosque and take the Shahada, I want to be honest to them.
00:05:05.200 And tell them his story.
00:05:08.400 You don't have to do the Shahada in a mosque.
00:05:09.680 You can do it right now.
00:05:10.380 There is no need for you to go to a mosque. 1.00
00:05:11.860 Would you do it right now?
00:05:13.000 We can do it if you're ready.
00:05:13.900 If you want to do it, I can do it.
00:05:14.640 Let's do it, bro.
00:05:15.480 Are you sure?
00:05:16.040 Yeah, let's do it.
00:05:16.880 I'm going to change it.
00:05:17.200 Let's do it, inshallah.
00:05:17.840 We'll do it in English first and then we'll do it in Arabic, inshallah.
00:05:19.920 Okay.
00:05:20.440 So say after me, I testify.
00:05:21.900 I testify.
00:05:22.880 There's nothing worthy of worship.
00:05:24.140 There's nothing worthy of worship.
00:05:25.860 Except Allah.
00:05:26.780 Except Allah.
00:05:27.580 And I testify.
00:05:28.380 And I testify.
00:05:29.440 That Prophet Muhammad. 0.99
00:05:30.320 That Prophet Muhammad. 0.99
00:05:31.180 Is his messenger.
00:05:32.240 Is his messenger.
00:05:33.460 And servant.
00:05:34.140 And servant.
00:05:34.900 We'll say the same thing now, but in Arabic, inshallah.
00:05:36.460 Say, ashahadu. 0.56
00:05:37.860 Ashahadu.
00:05:38.540 An.
00:05:39.260 An.
00:05:39.900 La.
00:05:40.640 La.
00:05:41.560 Ilaha.
00:05:42.620 Ilaha.
00:05:43.500 Illa Allah.
00:05:44.700 Illa Allah.
00:05:45.780 Wa ashahadu.
00:05:46.860 Wa ashahadu.
00:05:47.600 Anna.
00:05:48.340 Anna.
00:05:49.240 Muhammada.
00:05:50.180 Muhammada.
00:05:50.880 Rasul.
00:05:51.920 Rasul.
00:05:52.480 Allah.
00:05:53.140 Allah.
00:05:53.720 That's it, brother.
00:05:54.420 It's like, you don't need to go to a mosque.
00:05:55.760 You don't need to go to anyone.
00:05:56.560 You go to the creator.
00:05:57.380 You go to the creator who sees you testify because you're testifying for God.
00:05:59.960 If you say you worship, you believe in Allah, he's the one worthy of worship.
00:06:02.240 You believe Prophet Muhammad, a.s. 0.99
00:06:03.220 Is his messenger.
00:06:04.080 You believe the Quran is from God.
00:06:05.400 You believe in the prophets of God.
00:06:06.340 You believe you need to do good in your life.
00:06:07.800 You want to seek repentance.
00:06:08.740 You need to seek forgiveness from Allah, a.s. 1.00
00:06:09.980 That's what matters.
00:06:10.700 So guys, you saw that for yourself, subhanAllah. 0.75
00:06:12.200 He is talking about that.
00:06:13.060 He takes tablets.
00:06:13.980 He's going through post-traumatic disorder or something like that.
00:06:16.500 And he is not in a good place.
00:06:18.160 So I have a cure for him, inshallah.
00:06:20.240 Yes.
00:06:20.580 A cure from Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, and his messenger. 1.00
00:06:22.920 Yes.
00:06:23.120 But before we come to that, we need to understand something, guys.
00:06:25.340 Khalid bin Walid, Umar bin Khattab, Wahshi, who killed Hamza, r.a.
00:06:29.460 Many of these people were not Muslims before.
00:06:31.700 Many of them were great enemies of Islam.
00:06:34.040 And Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, chooses whom he guides.
00:06:36.320 And Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, chooses whom he misguides.
00:06:37.920 So you can see in this very instance, brothers and sisters, that he himself and many sahaba
00:06:42.120 like him, Khalid bin Walid, yes, who fought against the Muslims, yes. 0.77
00:06:45.660 And many people were killed at his hands.
00:06:47.420 But like Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, says in the Quran,
00:06:49.000 And whoever kills a believer intentionally, their reward will be hell, where they will 0.67
00:06:53.580 stay forever. 0.99
00:06:54.320 Allah will be displeased with them, and condemn them, and prepare for them a tremendous punishment. 0.98
00:06:58.400 Now, in this instance, obviously, there's other verses, subhanahu wa ta'ala, that abrogate
00:07:01.340 this, and there's many other commentary on this matter.
00:07:03.300 But the matter is clear.
00:07:04.240 Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, will forgive any sin, except sin.
00:07:06.680 Like the Prophet Muhammad, the people from him, told us in Hadith Qudsi, that Allah, subhanahu
00:07:09.760 wa ta'ala, said that if my servant's sins were to reach the mountains and the skies,
00:07:14.320 Allah will forgive every single one of them, except shirk. 1.00
00:07:16.460 So we ask Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, to accept this IDF, ex-IDF soldier's repentance,
00:07:21.160 yes, and it's a clean slate for him, and that Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, is the most
00:07:24.940 merciful brothers and sisters.
00:07:26.000 And if it was to us, would we forgive him?
00:07:28.040 Would we forgive him?
00:07:28.880 Of course it is hard.
00:07:29.860 We wouldn't.
00:07:30.400 But Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, and this is the beauty of Islam, him accepting Islam
00:07:33.780 tells us that we have forgiven him.
00:07:35.540 The matter is done and dusted.
00:07:36.940 Which other religion has this?
00:07:38.460 Which other religion has this kind of mercy from Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, and the believers
00:07:42.340 are reminded that if somebody like this, who's done such atrocities, who is living
00:07:46.440 in, as you can see, depression and all this kind of stuff, Wallahi, my dear brother, if
00:07:49.960 you're watching this, you accepted Islam, and I'm sure brother Muhammad Ali is going 1.00

00:08:52.120 Qul ya ibadi ya'l-lazina as-rafu ala an-fusihim.
00:09:04.860 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Quran,

00:09:24.700 O my servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not ever despair the mercy of
00:09:29.540 your Lord.
00:09:30.280 Indeed, Allah is the one that forgives all sins.
