Islamnet is raising funds to establish a masjid and community centre in Norway.
00:00:04.000
Every person who prays there, every kid that learns about Islam,
00:00:09.580
all of this and so much more can be on your scale of good deeds.
00:00:17.480
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:20.600
So a sister got in contact with Instagram and said,
00:00:23.200
gave me some information about EastEnders and what they've been doing.
00:00:29.900
I just watched it because people that I was around was watching it.
00:00:34.300
but I have been informed by a few characters who are playing a Muslim role.
00:00:40.020
But from what I know, EastEnders is actually building a masjid.
00:00:46.580
Yes, actually, if you think about it, it's nice.
00:00:48.620
They're showing the diversity, even though it might not be real.
00:00:52.600
But they're showing diversity in a very strange way.
00:00:54.780
Because from what I know, from the picture that you can see,
00:00:57.200
one of the girls here is basically known to be having sex outside of marriage,
00:01:11.880
And then you have another lady who's apparently,
00:01:13.620
and this is the information given to me by the sister, by the way.
00:01:15.080
She was married to a guy, a Muslim guy, who cheated, committed adultery,
00:01:20.780
which is worse than Zinnah, because you're married and you're being unlawful to your partner,
00:01:26.820
And then this woman divorces him, and then goes and gets married to another guy.
00:01:32.020
And this Muslim man ends up being someone that abuses him.
00:01:34.500
And, you know, so it looks like Muslims are diverse in all the,
00:01:41.620
because there's certain things that are not permissible, etc.
00:01:46.380
All these things that are committed does not nullify their Islam.
00:01:48.760
All it does is they're showing diversity in the wrong way.
00:01:50.920
And then you have, the others were not wearing hijab.
00:01:53.440
Well, you can be a Muslim as well without wearing hijab,
00:01:57.820
And then you have the hijabi who's snogging a guy and is in pubs.
00:02:02.860
Now, let's watch this video, because in these two clips,
00:02:08.500
And there's a group of them that are petitioning to open a mosque.
00:02:15.240
So there was a copyright issue, so I can't play the sound.
00:02:17.520
But from what you can see is they opened a new masjid mosque in EastEnders,
00:02:22.100
and they're giving leaflets out, you know, a new mosque.
00:02:23.700
And these are Muslims, basically, who are standing there.
00:02:26.880
And, yeah, and as you can see, they're praying on the road,
00:02:31.240
Anyways, so, yeah, and these are new Muslims, by the way.
00:02:34.320
This lady here on the pink jacket, she's a new Muslim.
00:02:36.320
That's her dad taking the kind of mick out of her, in a sense.
00:02:40.960
You saw for yourself, so there's this group of Muslims who are,
00:02:44.560
and outwardly, like I said before, we can't judge people, you know.
00:02:47.260
There's a lot of people who might outwardly look Muslim,
00:02:49.280
but I might not be doing the obligation that I should be doing.
00:02:52.400
You know, I've seen a lot of brothers and fobs,
00:02:56.220
And I've seen a lot of people who do not wear the hijab,
00:02:58.060
or don't grow a beard, but they are dedicated to their salah.
00:03:00.060
And I've seen the other side, which is those who wear the niqab,
00:03:11.020
Now, the question here, what needs to follow is this.
00:03:14.300
EastEnders, for some reason, is pushing this culture.
00:03:18.240
You know, if you look at EastEnders, when I used to watch it,
00:03:22.040
Whole town, or this whole city, have slept with each other.
00:03:24.420
Like, this person slept with his mum, his mum has slept with this,
00:03:27.060
and that person slept with that, and that person slept with that.
00:03:30.020
One catches his husband with his son's wife, and all.
00:03:37.220
You have Muslims watching this stuff, which is sickening.
00:03:43.120
if we look at recent studies that show that the society that we live in,
00:03:48.240
it really is going in a direction that is not good.
00:03:53.720
Because rape has seen an increased, sexual assault has seen a rapid increase.
00:04:00.420
Alcohol, gambling, murder, robbery, you name it.
00:04:05.660
And this is in the culture they want us to adapt, and they're pushing down our flows.
00:04:08.680
We don't see any Orthodox Muslims, you know, at EastEnders.
00:04:10.980
I mean, if you guys want, you know, you can maybe, you don't need to pay me.
00:04:14.160
I can come and maybe I can send Mohammed Ijab, or Zizshara,
00:04:16.620
or someone there to, you know, represent the Orthodox community.
00:04:19.460
You know, all you're showing is not an Orthodox community.
00:04:26.380
I won't be surprised if they turn that mosque into a hub where terrorism is bred.
00:04:32.240
Oh, I won't be surprised if they're going to get the girls,
00:04:34.180
there's going to be a woman imam, and leading everybody, or it's going to be, I don't know.
00:04:38.640
But from what I can see from their track record, and how they're represented, how Muslims are,
00:04:41.760
yes, all these things that they showed are Muslims who are sinning, and Muslims do sin.
00:04:47.620
But the point is the following, that they are making it out as if that's true Muslims.
00:04:51.980
90% of, 80% of, 90% of Muslims, yes, those who even commit those sins,
00:04:56.780
shouldn't go out and publicly, you know, announce it.
00:04:59.460
You know, it is not permissible in our religion.
00:05:02.260
So, this mosque that's being built in EastEnders,
00:05:05.480
God knows what they've got planned, and God knows what kind of a hub, masjid is going to be turned into.
00:05:10.780
I won't be surprised if it's going to be called the, I don't know, the LGBTQT mosque, whatever.
00:05:16.840
Practically, what we need to do, and what the solutions are for this problem, sisters,
00:05:22.720
The heartless and desire, where the eyes don't see.
00:05:24.600
For the Muslims that are watching this, you need to understand, yeah?
00:05:27.580
As you're watching this, your brain is psychologically normalising this behaviour.
00:05:32.600
and you're constantly being told that having intimacy, or an affair with your neighbour,
00:05:36.960
and this, that, and intimacy, you become desensitised to it.
00:05:41.200
It becomes a norm, because you're exposed to it every day.
00:05:43.700
You are corrupting your inner self without knowing.
00:05:51.920
I've heard that in EastEnders all day, all night.
00:05:56.380
So, you need to understand, what you consume with your eyes,
00:06:04.600
wallahi, I do not fathom how you can watch such filth.
00:06:11.260
don't think what you're seeing is not going to corrupt your heart.
