Ali Dawah - FIGHT I NEARLY HAD WITH NON MUSLIM

00:00:00.000 Welcome to this video, this video is going to be a long time

00:00:30.000 a little bit different, I'll be talking about the fight that I kind of got into, which

00:00:35.300 happened basically right here, I was driving past this road from Stamford Hill towards

00:00:42.020 Dawson and there was a guy basically on the right hand side and he signalled in to come

00:00:48.220 into my lane, but I didn't give him away because I thought you know what, the person behind

00:00:53.540 me will give the way, it's not big deal, it was me giving away or somebody else giving

00:00:57.000 away, so I thought I'll just drive past, so what happened is obviously from here he kind

00:01:03.220 of put the front part of his car forward to get in, I just kind of swerved around it and

00:01:08.560 went forward and was driving forward, I didn't think much about it because I just thought

00:01:12.200 you know what, you just don't think anything about it, I just swerved past him, didn't think

00:01:16.180 much of it, driving forward and I saw the same car behind me coming really fast and I thought

00:01:22.140 he was going to hit me and then he just swerved and went past me and I just thought okay, just

00:01:25.560 a young guy, you know a bit excited with his new car, so anyways we were going past here

00:01:32.360 and we pulled up, there was red traffic light, so we all pulled up and I stopped basically

00:01:39.600 right here in front of Pizza Hut and the car was right beside me as well because there was

00:01:45.140 traffic, so we stood here, so all of a sudden I heard like someone swearing and shouting, so

00:01:50.140 I was just kind of looking around and when I looked to my right, I realised the guy is

00:01:54.820 basically like looking at my face and like, you effing this, you effing that and at first

00:01:59.700 I was thinking is there someone on the other side he's swearing at, so then he's just swearing

00:02:03.600 and going in a muddle and I'm thinking what's wrong with this guy and in my head I thought

00:02:06.600 you know what, like maybe he's got some kind of problem, he's just angry, so I said to him

00:02:11.220 what's your problem and then he was just like swearing, like screaming, shouting and I was

00:02:15.940 like what is your problem, why are you swearing for, like what is your problem, like why

00:02:18.960 are you swearing, just tell me why you're swearing and he's shouting and screaming and

00:02:22.140 I said to him look I'm not scared of you, you're raising your voice, it's not going to change

00:02:25.240 anything, it's not going to make me less, it's not going to stop me from asking you what is

00:02:29.060 your problem, so I was repeating that and then he started, he mentioned two things which

00:02:33.240 baffled me, he was like you effing this, effing that and then he goes you guys enslaved

00:02:38.820 Bilal, so when he said that I was like enslaved Bilal, who's Bilal, what are you on about

00:02:44.540 enslavement, I was confused, I was like what are you talking about, who the hell is Bilal,

00:02:48.720 like I didn't understand who he's talking about, so then after that I'm thinking like

00:02:53.220 is this guy a Muslim or non-Muslim and then after he said something really shocking to

00:02:58.020 me, he was like you are a kuffar, so when he said that to me I was mind baffled because

00:03:03.300 I was like hold on a second, you just did takfir on me, yeah and I thought this guy's a Muslim 0.99

00:03:07.900 and most likely he probably knows me and seen some of my videos, I was just thinking maybe

00:03:12.400 he just thought I'm just like a coconut Muslim or a murderer or whatever and he just doesn't 0.70

00:03:16.300 like me and I said to him, I wanted to have got him, I was going to say you're a Muslim 0.91

00:03:20.060 and you're doing takfir on me like shame on you, I was going to mention the hadith where 0.56

00:03:23.280 it says the one who does takfir and if he doesn't deserve it will come back to you, so

00:03:27.360 I was like so you're a Muslim, don't you have shame and then another shock, he was like 0.91

00:03:31.480 I'm not a Muslim, I don't want to be a Muslim and he's going on this mad one and in my head 1.00

00:03:35.520 I'm just confused, my man just did takfir on me, a non-Muslim did takfir on me, he's 1.00

00:03:41.600 talking about Bilal, he's saying I don't want to be a Muslim, I'm thinking what on earth

00:03:45.360 is going on, so anyways at this moment in time, back and forth, I'm saying what is your problem

00:03:49.760 he's swearing at me, so we're slowly basically going forward, so he's driving and we're still

00:03:55.220 talking, we're still having this communication like what do you want from me, I'm like pull

00:03:58.020 over, let's speak like a man, just pull over, let's speak like a man, so we're going

00:04:01.920 forward because people behind us were beeping like move, move, like what the hell are you 0.57

00:04:05.200 guys doing, so we were going forward and we turned this bend right here and we're just

00:04:10.020 still talking, there's a massive queue behind us and he's going back and forth and I'm like

00:04:13.960 pull up, let's talk like a man, just pull up, let's talk, as we're doing this he was nearly

00:04:17.980 crashing in to an X5 in front of him because he's not looking on the road, I said watch out

00:04:22.060 and he swerved, yeah I kind of saved him there and right here he pulled up and I pulled

00:04:28.620 that right beside him, so I just pulled up right here and I thought you know what we

00:04:33.440 can like sit down and talk, you know he still was angry, so I took my seatbelt off and put

00:04:37.840 the handbrake up and I was just about to get out until I've noticed the guy, he's already

00:04:42.320 come out of his car and he's right here and I'm thinking you know what he's going to punch

00:04:46.380 me because the window is open, so I moved back and I said don't try anything and I opened

00:04:50.900 the door a bit and put my leg there, just in case if he tries I can push with my leg and

00:04:55.900 maybe like push him away, you know if it comes down to it, so anyways he starts saying

00:05:00.500 to me, what are you going to do now big man, what are you going to do now big man, like

00:05:04.460 basically I'm out, yeah look I've pulled over and then I said to him look yeah, I said I

00:05:08.140 want to talk to you, let me come out, let's talk like man, let's talk like a man and then

00:05:11.840 he says to me, nah I'm going to, I've got stuff in the back of the car, I ain't got time

00:05:16.340 for this yeah and I said nah nah nah, so basically I came out the car, so basically I came out

00:05:22.140 of my car and I was walking towards him because he was going towards his car and I said to

00:05:25.500 him, I said come down, let's talk, so he started walking towards me and he was walking like

00:05:31.140 you know he's a big guy, big guy, so he's been, so I was thinking you know what, he's

00:05:35.700 going to try something, so I said to him look don't, I said don't try to swing yeah, I said

00:05:40.080 I'll come out the car to speak to you like a man yeah and then he came up to me and I said

00:05:43.600 look what is your problem, I said, I said I don't believe that you are angry just because

00:05:47.520 I didn't give you weight, there is more to this and he said to me, nah there isn't, I said

00:05:50.920 look do you know me from somewhere, he's like look Ali yeah, he's like it's not about

00:05:54.260 that and I thought Ali, I was like how do you know my name yeah, I said how do you know my

00:05:58.280 name firstly yeah and then he was like ah, like he knew I caught him out there so then

00:06:02.440 he realised I caught him out because I was like how do you know, he's like look I've

00:06:05.240 watched some of your videos and I said, I said look what was that thing about you called

00:06:08.180 me Kufar and he said you don't want to be a Muslim and Bilal and this that, he's like 0.91

00:06:12.320 you know man you guys, you know Bilal was a slave, you know he was a black brother yeah and 1.00

00:06:16.460 he was like you know Bilal was a slave, you enslaved him and stuff and I was like 0.51

00:06:19.040 look come on, my Bilal was one of the beloved companions of the Prophet Muhammad peace be

00:06:23.160 upon him and I gave him a bit of dawah and I spoke and he said look here I'm really sorry

00:06:26.740 like he went, like he was mad, really getting into a physical fight to him saying you know

00:06:30.620 I'm really sorry man, you're with your family and I've had a bad experience with Muslims etc 1.00

00:06:34.520 and he just said you know I'm really, I'm really apologizing and I said look it's okay

00:06:38.400 you know I said we're not all the same and I gave him a bit of dawah, I gave him a number

00:06:41.540 I said look just call me, we can sit down, have a coffee, we can go out for lunch, whatever you like

00:06:45.800 and we can talk about it, you know and then he just said to me look thanks man

00:06:49.560 he just said look I appreciate like you guys are not all the same and he went in his car

00:06:52.860 and went in his own way

00:06:53.640 anyway so I came back into the car, obviously my wife and little cousin was in a bit of a shock

00:06:58.120 so I just you know they were telling me like what happened and I was like look I just went

00:07:02.820 and spoke to him and you know he's like and I just spoke to him, he's had bad experience

00:07:06.820 with Muslims and he's like you know he told me he apologizes, my family was in the back

00:07:11.400 etc you know and then you know they were a bit shocked you know a bit surprised but the

00:07:16.760 way things turned out it was surprising for them you know the fact that he went

00:07:19.480 from madness to him apologizing and saying his bad experience, had a bad experience with Muslims 0.50

00:07:24.120 you know yeah no no basically when I was there speaking to him I said take my number

00:07:29.000 call me, meet up and go for like food or something and we can talk about it etc I can tell you more

00:07:33.720 about Islam and he said yeah okay I will do and then he just said look you know he just gave me a hug

00:07:37.880 and then he just went on his own way. You seemed convinced? He did because you know

00:07:43.240 the thing is he seemed surprised, he seemed like he wasn't expecting the way I went about it

00:07:49.080 maybe he was expecting me to be more violent and like yeah calm you know get a stick out

00:07:53.400 or something start you know fly kicking and do ninja stuff you know he was he was probably

00:07:57.080 expecting me to retaliate in a really harsh way but the fact that I was keep repeating

00:08:00.600 what is your problem, what is your problem, why are you angry, what's wrong you know and the fact

00:08:05.080 that I approached him I said look I'm not here to talk you know I think it was a bit of a surprise

00:08:09.880 for him and this is the reason why I wanted to do the video because a lot of us out there how many

00:08:13.960 of us were out there we use foul language we are representative of Islam you know even though 1.00

00:08:18.440 you have a beard a little bit whatever it may be you wear a hijab or no hijab we are Muslims

00:08:23.720 and we represent the religion and it's sad that we've got and I'm not saying look I don't know what's

00:08:27.480 happened with that guy's life I'm not going to blame all Muslims but the fact that he's had some kind of

00:08:31.080 kind of bad experience just shows how important our actions actions are you know we are in the

00:08:36.760 dawah we do dawah yeah okay but how many of us don't realize that actions speak louder than words

00:08:41.880 our actions is the biggest form of dawah it's the biggest form of dawah and the fact that this guy

00:08:47.560 has been exposed to bad actions from Muslims bad words maybe has brought him like this and for him

00:08:54.680 it took him for him to come and attack me and swear and take it out on me and then I go and respond in

00:09:01.320 a different way where I'm like look hear me out yeah explain it to him change his whole perception and

00:09:07.640 forget being violent he turned around and apologized and said look I'm sorry man like I've just had bad

00:09:12.520 experience with Muslims and it really shocked me and I wanted to do this video because I wanted people 1.00

00:09:16.360 to understand that look our religion back in at the time of the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him the

00:09:21.720 companions when you would look at them the actions would be dawah when you would look at their conduct

00:09:26.200 their behavior how they sit how they walk how they talk everything they did was dawah you would know

00:09:31.480 this is Islam this is the beauty of Islam but in today's time we have Muslims wearing hijab

00:09:37.960 niqab beard thawb and the way they conduct their self foul-mouthed rude like the our job is to call 0.99

00:09:47.320 people to Islam but we have people today pushing people away from Islam people are looking and

00:09:52.280 thinking if this is Islam I don't want nothing to I don't want nothing to do with it but that 1.00

00:09:56.200 came straight into my head because even though look come on we're men our wife's gonna be sitting 1.00

00:10:00.200 in the back and you're gonna be like no you you want to show like hey what's going on but to me I

00:10:05.560 understand it as like this I don't need to prove myself to anyone my in my head I'm thinking there is

00:10:09.960 a guy who seems like he's upset with Islam somehow and I need to tell him this is not Islam what you've been 1.00

00:10:15.800 seen or heard of Islam it's not Islam so we need to show him the best way because the moment you're 1.00

00:10:21.240 speaking to me and you're bringing matters like you're a kuffar bilal these kind of stuff yeah

00:10:26.280 and I knew the brothers black as well bringing bilal instantaneously in my head I have diagnosed

00:10:31.160 that's enough there for anyone to come out and start beating the person up yes that's a very

00:10:35.080 abusive thing it is but the thing is obviously if I felt threatened in a way that I knew he's gonna

00:10:40.440 come for me I'm not gonna stand there a religion doesn't teach us to just stand there and just watch

00:10:43.240 next man beat you up obviously I would defend myself and retaliate but you know the fact that

00:10:48.840 I didn't resort to that and said look I want to talk to you don't try anything and I noticed you

00:10:53.080 know he wasn't going to try anything and I just opened up to him do you get it and I think the fact

00:10:57.000 that I did that shocked him in a way where he was thinking okay like this guy is actually like he's

00:11:02.520 saying look don't try anything let's talk so the fact that I talked and he understood it changes

00:11:06.840 perspective and I'm just telling you guys because I've seen this with my own eyes I just it happened when I

00:11:10.600 was here the guy went from a mad thing on a mad one to being calm and apologizing to me this is

00:11:15.800 the reason why I did this video you know because the thing is we need to understand something who

00:11:20.200 do I need to prove myself to this is a key thing we need to understand why do I need to prove myself

00:11:25.400 to people why do I have to go out there and be like yes I'm the man I'm gonna attack him even if I

00:11:29.880 get beat at least people will say why the thing is this we have this ego problem where we're just like

00:11:35.320 we have to prove a thing to other people and sometimes I wonder do you live for Allah or for

00:11:40.840 other people we should be thinking how what can I do with my actions to prove to my lord that I'm

00:11:46.680 trying to obey him I think this is really crucial because I don't like may Allah protect me I don't 0.76

00:11:51.560 want to live for people or what people think of me I don't care if they come and say Ali you're a

00:11:54.600 wimp brother like if that was me I would have knocked the guy's teeth out I'd be like you can do that I 0.63

00:11:58.520 won't you know why am I gonna go and do that and cause and for the guy to turn around and be like 0.96

00:12:02.680 exactly you Muslims are like that I'm not gonna do that you know sometimes we have to use hikama 1.00

00:12:07.960 wisdom in certain situations you know and like I said before if he did try something I'm not gonna 0.72

00:12:11.720 watch it but I'm not gonna go and do the first thing I'm not gonna go and try to attack him

00:12:15.640 and I believe it had an impact I saw with my own eyes how it worked and I use this method in the

00:12:20.120 dawah a lot you know people swear at me you know my religion etc I'm just like look if that's how

00:12:25.240 you're gonna be I don't want to talk to you so the guy he's just thinking rah I was expecting this

00:12:29.080 guy to start like fly kicking me and to be honest we need to understand brothers and sisters is that

00:12:34.200 I want to finish off with this is that our religion our actions shows our religion people want to know

00:12:39.560 the one that you worship if he makes you this beautiful and I'm not talking about myself if we

00:12:44.040 see a brother who's humble he's respectful a person is looking and thinking like I want to know the one

00:12:48.760 you worship that makes you so beautiful like this and this is really important so I hope you guys

00:12:53.480 benefited from this insha Allah you know if something like this happens use your brain

00:12:58.120 then you rather than using your fist you know put the brain into use first you know so yeah that's
