things about islam and you happen to watch erturul now erturul is when it first came out people told
00:01:01.440

00:01:05.000
good for those who are not practicing etc not that i'm saying i'm better than i'm not saying that for
00:01:08.860
those who are not practicing i've heard a good news that people started practicing and praying etc
00:01:12.200
that's brilliant and really good but for me i thought uh like personally like i thought i could
00:01:17.540
do better things yeah however for some people individuals were watching haram stuff or different
00:01:22.000
movies this come from me yeah um i'm not saying the movie is perfect and there's some characters
00:01:29.180
in there that you shouldn't maybe take from and in this reaction video there's an interview with this
00:01:32.520
very lady and she's telling us what led her to come to islam it was erturul but how let's get
00:01:38.980
straight into inshallah here we go bismillah just look into it more i think over the generations it's
00:01:46.640
just kind of lost itself islam and um but yeah i just wish it was a less of a me me me society
00:01:58.920
i looked into what the details was about it it intrigued me so i started watching it
00:02:25.900
and the first episode i was very interested i was stopping a lot to look up some things
00:02:31.220
um but yeah i was very interested in it i liked i liked where it was going it was history that i
00:02:36.980
knew nothing about to live a life to live a life back then to have such a goal as they did
00:02:41.660
and to live a life like that back then it's just very admirable what they did
00:02:48.120
some reason one day i just happened to do a search for is there a mosque close to my area and um
00:02:58.640
there was just this little bitty house and so i went i went in they were shocked to see me i think
00:03:05.980
but um yeah i became muslim right that day after this after the prayer
00:03:11.760
where i used to live that very very christian i tried discussing with her and she just did
00:03:22.840
everything in her power to try to tell me i shouldn't listen i'm being brainwashed and
00:03:27.900
so i just i i don't even do facebook anymore so
00:03:31.800
before and i do not take that medication anymore i think waking up every morning and i thank him
00:03:53.580
again for giving me another day every night when i go to sleep
00:03:56.200
isn't that profound brothers and sisters isn't that amazing now and i want to emphasize on what
00:04:03.900
she's watching now let's just the best way to make money with amazon in 2021 i don't want to make
00:04:08.280
money on amazon bro relax yourself sorry guys about that just imagine guys she's watching a movie
00:04:14.100
yeah now yes there's historical facts in there etc and these things did happen etc the build-up of the
00:04:20.460
ottoman empire but however a lot of it's fiction yeah okay and and what i'm saying is that the
00:04:25.420
standards and the values that they had no of course that is how it is for example elders like
00:04:28.900
i'm kurdish from turkey and the respect that we have for our elders and those certain traditions are
00:04:33.600
there of course and this is derived from islam but what i'm trying to get the point across here is this
00:04:39.380
she's watching a movie yeah this movie's got historical facts every now and then but she is so
00:04:44.500
moved by their justice by them sticking up for justice for their mercy for how they put their religion
00:04:50.980
before anything like even there's a scene in there where for example it has a scene where
00:04:55.360
there's a specific villain guy who's caused so much havoc and tried to kill earth
00:04:59.320
him coming to islam and the guy's like shocked he's like bro i've done so much harm to your family
00:05:04.120
and me accepting islam and this that and you're just totally forgetting and forgiving and even
00:05:08.520
though allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says it's best to forgive even if somebody doesn't come to islam
00:05:11.620
we're not saying it just because they come to islam those values really resonate with people and hit
00:05:16.680
home hard because she's saying where we live in a society where it's all me me me me me and she's
00:05:21.320
talking about sharing you know talking about justice upholding justice what allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:05:25.620
says stand up and speak up for justice even if it's against yourself these are the values as muslims
00:05:31.800
we should be known for that's in the movie that's portrayed if this this sister was looking at muslims
00:05:36.580
today do you really think she would have come to islam but what she saw there and was like wow and
00:05:41.340
that is the true islam in the context of where they're carrying this off and it comes back to a very
00:05:45.980
simple message the prophet peace be upon him said i came for nothing nothing but to perfect good
00:05:52.120
character this woman didn't look and said in the movie it doesn't talk much about allah's tawhid and
00:05:57.820
his oneness in that context i'm trying to say yes there are some elements to it she came because of
00:06:02.360
the character she was like what makes these people so beautiful what what makes these people so having
00:06:08.500
moral values and caring about others in such an extent that she thought i need to look into this
00:06:14.140
that is deep for those who come and see tawhid is about talking about the oneness of allah 24 7
00:06:19.540
tawhid tawhid shirk shirk bida bida asma wa safad uh arabia and they think repeating it like a
00:06:25.880
robot with algorithms helps them this sister this woman came to islam by looking at something fictional
00:06:32.480
then understanding what islam really teaches she goes to a mosque and accepts islam isn't that powerful
00:06:38.600
doesn't that tell us that as muslims we should let people see islam in us rather than just hear it
00:06:45.100
from us with the way we hold up for justice yeah and not lie and have up the best form of character
00:06:52.120
like the prophet peace be upon him that allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the quran once we do that then you
00:06:56.840
will see nations will come to islam and wallahi the most powerful thing we have is the quran if we
00:07:02.240
abide by that the people would observe our actions and they would see this can be no other than but from
00:07:08.780
a high place this action and behavior what is calling to can be from no other than a place that
00:07:15.020
is from the one the creator subhanallah she came through a movie air torah allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:07:23.200
guys how he will and i know many people and people have told me about people practicing their religion
00:07:27.820
coming to islam why because now it's that connection with their religion yes there's certain characters
00:07:31.860
and they have to be real as well yeah for example ibn al-arabi yeah um for example it's like
00:07:37.340
they as far as i know many ulama in the past have done take fear of him with certain views he has yeah
00:07:44.000
so i'm not asking anybody to go uh i'm actually saying outright do not take yeah straight um yes
00:07:49.160
i understand in the movie he seems like that's that's the movie there yeah i'm just talking about
00:07:53.000
reality here so there's some very very dangerous views but however in a nutshell brothers and
00:07:58.200
sisters the good of that movie rather which haram stuff outweighs it and this sister came to islam
00:08:04.480
via that wow what does that say what does that say upholding good moral conduct honest being truthful
00:08:13.320
not lying subhanallah these are the things and today when we see muslims and i'll be honest with you
00:08:18.360
guys i'm dealing with a court case an insurance claim fraud fraud and click case that's happening
00:08:23.460
towards me i had a little minor accident to a muslim yeah there was an accident there was a dispute
00:08:27.820
between us in the context where it's a long story and i'm going to talk about this because it's very
00:08:31.440
important i am going to court because they are lying these are muslims these are muslims i had two
00:08:36.900
accidents one of them this uh it was another muslim yeah okay and he had no insurance and he lied
00:08:42.320
yeah and it cost me a lot of damage yeah the second one he actually lied the fraud claim that there
00:08:47.320
were certain people in the car and they were hurt and i'm like yeah you know there wasn't four people
00:08:52.100
in the car you know no one was not injured nobody was injured it was like a little accident
00:08:55.740
small and this is what i'm saying as a muslim when i see another muslim doing that and i'm thinking wow
00:09:01.480
subhanallah do you not think you're going to stand in front of allah do you not think you're going to
00:09:04.880
stand in front of allah and the brother's telling me no about my dad i was like anyways do you get it
00:09:10.140
and i'm going to be talking about this case once the the once i go court etc i'm going to be
00:09:14.100
dwelling into this case because it's so important to show how people are too withy about the
00:09:19.300
materialistic world a claim how you're going to stand in front of allah under their judgment lying
00:09:22.600
