00:00:51.640
in islam what what what made you interested in islam and like where are you like are you on the
00:00:57.280
verge of accepting or are you still like double-minded um i'm still trying to educate myself on it and
00:01:01.940
like um find more information about it but i think i am very close to converting i just need to read
00:01:08.020
more and see what like you said something about march you said something what was that i went to the
00:01:13.200
yemen um protest um last year and everyone was praying and everyone was like very welcoming to me
00:01:19.480
even though i didn't i wasn't able to say the prayers and i just saw how great of a community
00:01:23.500
was and i don't know i just haven't always felt like i've had a place in you know yeah you know
00:01:28.440
with like islam like how how would your family feel about that like if he was because you know me when
00:01:32.900
i first came to islam like my dad kicked me out the house because they were a bit hostile and that's
00:01:36.440
because of certain things that they've seen in the media so like how would you how would your family
00:01:40.200
take that do you have muslims in your family because i know eritrea is like a yeah like half of my
00:01:44.940
family are muslim yeah and like um we have very close family friends who are muslim but they are
00:01:49.800
very strong catholics so i don't think they would want me to convert but if it's the truth like to
00:01:54.260
me it was like if i know it's the truth i don't give the entire globe is against me do you get because
00:01:58.180
i have to be real to myself because i can't look in the mirror and be like oh i'm fake because a group
00:02:01.680
of people don't like me so i i admire that like do you understand the concept of islam like the god
00:02:06.260
like do you or should i tell you okay you know what it is like with us like this is why we're really
00:02:10.800
close to christians like god almighty tells us that we can marry christians we can eat from their food
00:02:15.120
etc so we have that connection because that's what we call them the people of the book and we're very
00:02:19.180
close and even though people make it seem like you know we don't like each other i don't think that's
00:02:22.440
the case you know because we believe in uh jesus you know even though we believe him to be a prophet
00:02:26.160
but all all in islam i'm not going to keep you guys long i'm sorry i'm going to be i'll be two minutes
00:02:30.440
here the what we believe in is like the pure monotheism of god so we don't believe man god is a man
00:02:35.740
or he's a human being or he was born or he died you know we believe in the true essence the
00:02:41.080
monotheism of god which is jesus because like um which jesus said that for example um he would when
00:02:47.420
he went to the mountain of gethsemane he he he went in a praying position and prayed so we say if he
00:02:52.520
was god who was he praying to so he always refers to the father jesus always says my father is greater
00:02:57.560
than i uh and my father is he always says good things about him even one of the disciples that came
00:03:01.820
to him and said oh good master what must i do to get eternal life he said why do you
00:03:05.720
call me good there is only one good and that's god to us that's why we say jesus was a muslim in
00:03:09.800
that sense because he always refers to god so the basic thing that we call like people in general to
00:03:14.860
is that god is unlike his creation anything that you think of in your mind cannot be god because
00:03:20.640
anything that you think in your mind has a beginning and an end you know so that's why we
00:03:24.660
just tell people like for example our christian brothers and sisters in humanity that to worship god
00:03:29.100
alone and that's and one of the biggest sins is to associate partners so for example you guys all
00:03:34.760
agree like your parents brought you up to this age right now imagine if you grew up and you turn
00:03:38.980
around to your mom or dad and said you've done nothing for me i'm gonna go and thank ali how would
00:03:43.120
they feel they wouldn't like it right yeah they wouldn't they wouldn't like it yeah so the thing is
00:03:48.740
what we're saying is that to show gratitude to your mom and dad is fundamental it's very important in
00:03:53.420
islam what about the one that gave you your mom and dad so that's the reason why in islam we believe
00:03:58.100
that god almighty deserves all our um submission and obedience if i go and start thanking a statue
00:04:04.320
like there's a statue there if i go and say oh thank you statue god told us in the quran that statue
00:04:08.460
can't harm you or benefit you it's a statue you know so in islam in general in in a nutshell i'll
00:04:14.280
let you go i don't hold you guys in a nutshell is that to worship god alone and have that connection
00:04:19.860
with him and if you have any questions you can ask uh it's totally up to you but read the quran
00:04:24.640
um i'm in speed you know hyatt park yeah i'm there every sunday yeah if there's any question
00:04:28.960
you want to ask you can or i'll come down there no problem we're there thank you very much for
00:04:32.600
your time i'm so sorry i tried to keep it as fast as possible
