00:00:07.320
yeah of course I would be a curious to a to have a closer look now but it is of
00:00:15.840
course very very important that if you come here as a non-muslim to be
00:00:20.380
respectful there was a guy who called out because you know I do fundraising yeah
00:00:23.940
for a prayer project he's a non-muslim he chews into a stream and goes can I as a
00:00:28.340
non-muslim donate well of course you can he donates calls in except Islam yeah
00:00:33.380
and he said the same he goes I was in Dubai I heard the adhan and I was like
00:00:37.340
yo that sounds holy where do you think that's coming from
00:00:41.720
I am a reaver and I was taught how to pray Salah that means every single time I
00:00:46.760
pray the person who told me gets the reward five times a day from Fajr to
00:00:51.460
Isha if you want to support someone like me in learning Salah then sponsor 10
00:00:56.720
people for just 100 pounds this Ramadan remember the Prophet peace be upon him
00:01:01.220
said charity does not decrease wealth click the button and donate now and this
00:01:08.120
section of the video to be very different I was planning on showing you
00:01:12.020
the area more maybe getting some food here there's also a big underground market
00:01:16.760
here I wanted to show you that but to be completely honest I feel like this is an
00:01:22.100
area where you shouldn't really vlog much I'm like debating with myself like the
00:01:27.100
one side and me is thinking of film it it would be so interesting to see for many
00:01:32.700
people around the world I'm thinking about the millions and millions of
00:01:36.560
Muslims around the world that don't have the chance to see this place and for
00:01:41.000
them seeing videos from this area would probably be really really nice to see but
00:01:46.100
then the other side and me is thinking oh this is such a holy and sacred place I
00:01:50.700
shouldn't walk around here pointing my camera to everything and block it so yeah
00:01:55.080
for the past half an hour I was walking around here without the camera debating
00:01:58.680
with myself whether to film the area more or not and yeah I came to the
00:02:02.520
conclusion that I'm not going to film this area more and I know that the video
00:02:06.120
would be a much better video if I would film this area in more depth but yeah to
00:02:09.900
be honest this video I don't care about how many views I'm getting it's a
00:02:14.340
similar reaction I had the first time I came here really it's you know I find
00:02:17.700
interesting here because a lot of people say Islam is a religion of the devil and
00:02:21.240
antichrist and that but I'm just really asking this question how is it that you
00:02:26.760
get people from different walks of life like I've done a reaction video to a
00:02:29.460
young Jewish boy and they're sitting somewhere where they can hear the adhan
00:02:33.660
and the mother goes to him and she goes that's the sound of Hashem so in their
00:02:38.320
belief it's God I'm like how could I mean he could come and say I'm scared of
00:02:43.740
that sound well that's a weird sound why is it because we're talking about kids
00:02:47.400
are pure now this guy he's a non-muslim he's just come to Medina and I
00:02:50.040
think that's one of the pros of maybe opening it I'm not I'm just not saying I'm
00:02:54.600
for it against but I'm saying the fact that how is it that people are coming
00:02:58.260
and saying there's something holy about this where did that come from
00:02:59.940
did someone pay this guy and say listen go to the Medina here's some money
00:03:03.240
pretend you like him how can it be that thousands of people have the same
00:03:06.720
reaction to the adhan it's peaceful there was a guy you called out because you know I do
00:03:10.560
fundraising yeah for a prayer project he's a non-muslim he choose into a stream
00:03:13.920
and goes can I as a non-muslim donate well of course you can he donates calls in
00:03:18.840
accept Islam yeah and he said the same he goes I was in Dubai I heard the adhan
00:03:23.640
and I was like yo that sounds holy where do you think that's coming from I'll start
00:03:28.020
with you and then sneak on show oh brother this is oh remember Ryan oh you're talking
00:03:37.260
about Ryan Ryan remember Ryan this was crazy so you know that guy just told you
00:03:41.340
about the non-muslim we went and met him and gave my guided prayer mat in person we
00:03:44.580
traveled we sit down because yeah I've been to watch I'm one of his videos yeah
00:03:48.200
guess who calls brav bro I looked and I've got a missed call because me and you
00:03:52.780
like don't speak that much bro this guy gives me a missed call I was like yo I go
00:03:57.280
Ryan you know you just call me he goes is it some outage and I was like nah
00:03:59.980
brother it's I am one of them yeah anyway so yeah no so what I'm saying is that
00:04:05.200
subhanallah and where do you think this comes from because you can't just make
00:04:08.160
this stuff up how is that human beings when they come to mecca or medina or
00:04:11.160
here the adhan they're like yo there's something holy about that you know
00:04:13.860
honestly just watching the video right now as he was tearing up wallahi it almost
00:04:18.640
made me tear up like you could see the fitrah and locking in him and me
00:04:22.120
personally as a person that gives dawah to non-muslims the look that I saw in
00:04:26.060
his eye I've seen that look for thousands of people and that look is I
00:04:30.680
finally discovered the truth now the test is upon him now that he discovered
00:04:35.840
the truth are you gonna allow the distractions after you go back to Germany to
00:04:39.340
allow you to forget that moment or are you gonna now embrace what the truth is
00:04:43.900
and everything that comes with it you know to be honest it's a very beautiful
00:04:47.600
video you know the end was a little bit waffly but the beginning oh man
00:04:51.380
subhanallah it's very heart-touching you could tell the brother is being very very
00:04:55.060
genuine and you could even feel the emotions through the video and yeah may
00:04:59.280
Allah guide the brother man I don't think he's gonna watch this video by the
00:05:01.720
little bit it's a great point I have them like when I first read the Malcolm X
00:05:05.900
autobiography you could the words that he wrote about mecca was what you could
00:05:09.240
see in that guy's face in the same feeling I bet you saw it on my face when my
00:05:12.200
first trip to becca medina I didn't really say a word for a week when I was here I
00:05:16.780
was just quiet and just taking it all in I didn't take out my camera at all I was
00:05:20.540
just kind of shocked and just getting the prayers right but if you read the
00:05:23.140
Malcolm X autobiography and how Mecca changed him he had that same reaction
00:05:27.040
where the hatred that he had and being around other Muslims that the racism that
00:05:32.260
he had adapted all that kind of went away and he realized that the natural
00:05:37.360
fissure that we all have it comes out in these cities for sure and hopefully this
00:05:41.980
guy you know he doesn't just abandon that feeling you know that you're gonna be
00:05:45.460
able to capitalize on that and do something about it I think I think you
00:05:48.520
can and a lot of people have this expectation as well is that and we was
00:05:51.160
talking about this before as well after you guys live in America and in
00:05:54.520
America the Muslim the community is not as close-knit as we in the UK and the
00:05:59.380
thing is is that well because the land is so vast so vast exactly hard to be
00:06:03.580
so exactly which means your fit your trials are greater and your rewards are
00:06:08.620
greater you know that's what first selling when he was talking about my he said
00:06:14.200
he said I don't know if he said my companions or my companions something along
00:06:17.260
those lines or my friends and he was talking about a time will come where
00:06:21.040
there'll be believers who will believe in the Prophet without seeing him and he
00:06:24.100
said oh my Allah like what are you talking about is that no I'm talking about
00:06:26.800
them who would believe in me and they will not see me you guys are my
00:06:29.440
companions I don't know what word he used for those who like maybe us but
00:06:33.400
because it's the fitna is great like we talked about like he's gonna have that Iman
00:06:37.940
hype it's gonna drop do you get it that's a part of test because he's not gonna have the
00:06:42.260
same reaction but it's to understand that people like him insha Allah will
00:06:45.860
like you said capitalize in the sense be okay this is a form of guidance to
00:06:48.980
what I'm trying to say and guidance of the thing that I wanted to say was
00:06:52.400
doesn't this prove to Islam being the truth because how is it that bro you
00:06:57.680
you haven't experienced in the Adhan you read the Quran you even see like how
00:07:01.500
Muslims move and you're just like this is this this cannot be from other than
00:07:04.520
but God you know for the Christians or other people that come and say oh this is
00:07:07.220
satanic religion I'm genuinely asking what is satanic about it like how is it that
00:07:10.940
everyone has this universal evidence to support that they just don't like that
00:07:14.960
they don't have the truth so they just say things like it's satanic but if you
00:07:18.680
ever ask these people like okay how there's no explanation it's like there's
00:07:22.340
people worshiping God what where does the same come and read it tell me where in
00:07:26.620
the Quran there's anything satanic or anything evil they don't provide
00:07:29.540
anything substantial so it's not it's not even a real criticism it's just some
00:07:32.860
people that are trolling online I don't take that seriously you know I found it
00:07:37.340
really interesting at the time when he was you know vlogging or whatever he felt
00:07:41.640
like hey I should probably put the camera down and I should probably just you know
00:07:45.620
like embrace this moment for myself you know that tells you something like as a
00:07:50.120
person that first time he's been in Islamic culture he knows there's something
00:07:53.880
special here but he can't I feel it when I'm he can't even put his finger on it you
00:07:57.900
know I was gonna I was gonna stream my umrah my first one and I went to Mecca I'm
00:08:01.460
like oh there's no there's no way like I can't do it there's this there's no way that
00:08:05.120
I wouldn't be able to to press record so so if he's watching this which I'm
00:08:09.980
sure this video is gonna reach him insha'Allah what message would you give
00:08:12.740
what would you tell him because you're in the Dawah Alhamdulillah yeah and I I I
00:08:16.100
love your Dawah over mine all day every day because I don't get into debate and
00:08:19.640
this that I love the fact that you just stick to you know it's not that I do
00:08:22.280
debate and I want to because I'm dealing with crockheads in speaker's corner you
00:08:24.740
know it's like a mental mental mental assignment and I'm the caretaker I come and
00:08:28.580
check on my patients here and then so the thing is some of them drive me a bit
00:08:31.460
nuts so you're doing like alhamdulillah your style of Dawah which is pure just
00:08:35.300
it's you know what I'm trying to say what would you want him to do next so he's
00:08:39.080
like I don't even know if he's still here by the way I don't know if that video is
00:08:41.240
old or new if he's here we would like to meet him but what advice would you give
00:08:45.120
what should he do next so Sneeko like you had that experience um first you act
00:08:49.160
insha'Allah and then Sneeko tell us what's the next step he should take because
00:08:52.320
he's touched now I personally believe he needs to read the Quran he needs to open
00:08:56.640
the words of Allah and then embrace what Allah is saying to him you know and
00:09:01.300
insha'Allah Allah will open his heart and Allah will open his mind
00:09:04.200
and Sneeko you as a you you would relate to him yeah I had because I had the same
00:09:09.080
experience I would say start going to Jummah every Friday that's my advice for
00:09:13.260
for new Muslims and that was advice that I was given when I first took my
00:09:16.800
Shahada people told me some people were saying like okay they're really like
00:09:20.940
embrace everything I don't recommend that as soon as he becomes Muslim I would not
00:09:26.200
advise trying to pray five times a day immediately I don't think he's gonna be
00:09:29.320
able to it's gonna be so much work to try to adjust his whole schedule I would say
00:09:32.660
for the first like couple months just at least do Jummah every single Friday
00:09:35.740
that's already more than most religions do I grew up Catholic for the fact that
00:09:39.260
meeting a Catholic who goes to church every Sunday that's a really religious
00:09:42.320
person you know that's that's extreme going to mass not missing mass so five
00:09:46.440
times a day that's like a whole lifestyle change so if you could commit to that
00:09:49.620
and then being in the Majid because that feeling that he captured in Medina he can find
00:09:53.100
a semblance of that in the Majid and he'll hear the Adan he'll be around
00:09:55.800
Muslims he'll see the serenity if you stick to that for a while and then
00:09:59.100
slowly transition into you know more praying yeah insha'Allah and the advice
00:10:03.060
that I would give if you're still in Medina get in contact with us and we can
00:10:05.820
give you a guided prayer map because obviously it's daunting I know how it was
00:10:09.000
when I was like when I wanted to accept this and even go to a mosque I was scared
00:10:12.180
I couldn't there was a specific mosque I actually drive by every day and I was
00:10:15.480
like should I go insha'Allah or not go insha'Allah it's daunting but I don't know what
00:10:17.520
it's about okay I don't even know if I'm going to the wrong places at temple I did not know so we
00:10:21.420
have a guided prayer map we can give it to you for free insha'Allah it's all for free anyway and so
00:10:25.260
that will help you to understand what they do if you want to experience it
00:10:29.040
sometimes in our dawah table we give it to non-Muslims and say listen some people
00:10:32.640
that they will do yoga I'm like look why don't you try this one they call out to
00:10:34.960
God and just use this you know it can be a method to getting close to Islam
00:10:38.980
insha'Allah and understanding if you're in Medina we can hand deliver it to you
00:10:41.680
because we're in Medina as well insha'Allah and I would say read the Quran like
00:10:44.880
he said go to Jum'a like what Suneiko said insha'Allah and the five daily prayers each
00:10:49.740
individual is different for me I can remember when I first came to Islam I used to pray
00:10:52.800
them all together at the end of the day that's what I used to do I used to bank all
00:10:56.040
them out and I was like bro it's so hard how many recant is that bro that's like oh I think 27 if I'm not mistaken
00:11:00.660
four eight uh eleven yeah yeah no no no I'll just do the fard oh no I didn't know the sunnah bro
00:11:08.380
yeah I was not about that life yet so I would pray all of them one time and then it was it was so
00:11:13.000
it was so hard uh subhanallah I can remember I used to miss I used to say if there's one thing I can't do
00:11:17.620
in this religion is wake up a fajr I said that's not happening I cannot do that but wake up nah bro
00:11:22.060
I think I was so traumatized by it because the second year of Ramadan I made dua I said oh Allah
00:11:27.040
make it easy for me and I managed to do that and that's a reminder to us that anything that you cannot
00:11:31.700
do I believe that when someone comes to me and says brother I can't stay away from girls I go yeah
00:11:35.940
you're right I don't blame you can't stay away from girls like what you're saying is true I can't wake up
00:11:39.740
fajr I can't I'm like brother everything you're saying is right you cannot do it correct yes
00:11:43.860
but can Allah make you do it yes he can don't forget that you as a human being you cannot brother
00:11:49.680
we cannot do I cannot in my ability wake up a fajr and I couldn't wallahi the second Ramadan I had
00:11:54.840
I remember I sincerely made dua I said Allah please make fajr easy for me uqsam billah bro I swear to
00:12:01.120
god I can go to sleep now there's one hour for fajr I wake up it's not me it's not Ali has special
00:12:06.720
abilities Ali Dawah Ali needs it's not about that it's not because I'm holy bro do you get it like
00:12:11.640
on holy shimali yeah okay it's not that it's the fact that you ask Allah and Allah makes it easy
00:12:17.040
Allah says if you fear me I will give you a way out from places you can't imagine so I would say
00:12:22.080
each individual varies but we will give you a mat inshaAllah you can use it and take it gradually
00:12:27.840
bro I always say this in your new muslim do one prayer day one prayer day bro sufficient work your
00:12:33.880
way up inshaAllah any last words yeah you know I wanted to say something my brother do not forget that
00:12:40.520
moment when you discovered Islam is the truth do not forget that moment when you go back home and
00:12:45.620
you get distracted by whatever distractions there are do not forget this moment when your heart and
00:12:50.540
your soul found its true purpose you know because our soul is yearning for the truth and it's waiting
00:12:55.620
for us to discover it ourselves also another thing I wanted to say as well for the people who say Islam
00:13:01.460
is satanic whatnot for me what I believe is those who want the truth will find the truth and those who do
00:13:07.020
not want the truth will discard the truth so those of you have discarded the truth prepare for the
00:13:11.580
punishment of the hereafter it's waiting for you and he is the winner I love I love what he did that
00:13:16.380
way he just went in his zone yeah do you guys watch that video of that do you watch that video of that
00:13:20.280
guy who's um he does shoe cleaning and he cleans the uh sneak sneakers that we guys call it and he goes
00:13:26.280
when I've got the foam I'm in my zone haven't you seen it I'll send you it's hilarious man anyway
00:13:30.840
that's what I felt is that you know when he got the foam in his zone anyways one of my sisters
00:13:34.020
he's like I don't know what Ali's talking about Warner had a great ending and then he brought
00:13:37.380
the sneakers I was like oh it was a perfect mic no no because he went in his zone that's why but
00:13:41.280
anyways forgive my uh humor I'm trying my best to make jokes but it's not working here anyways you
00:13:45.160
heard it from the brother Sleekho and I am Warner a great ending most likely I will cut the envy out
00:13:49.060
not to destroy the message he's like what he was here he just the guys watching is like bro you
00:13:54.040
probably stopped to make stuff in Islam he's gonna be a Christian again now
