00:00:27.280 and there was this one woman, this Muslim woman.

00:01:04.280 As-salam studio, alhamdulillah
00:01:06.000 We are reacting to a variety of different videos
00:01:09.220 Current affairs
00:01:10.440 Things that you guys can benefit from as well
00:01:12.380 As you guys know, our reaction videos are not just based on facial expressions
00:01:15.440 Oh wow, and that's it
00:01:17.440 We're not here to do that, we're not here to waste our time and your time
00:01:20.840 This is a video that was sent to me actually very randomly
00:01:23.140 We're planning on doing another video today
00:01:24.460 But with this specific video that was sent to me
00:01:26.780 I thought, bro, that is so powerful
00:01:28.180 And I think it goes back to what our organisation, Salaam, stands for
00:01:32.460 Like, you know, Akhlaaf, Adab
00:01:34.640 And we're going to find out
00:01:35.860 So this is Oprah Winfrey interviewing a lady
00:01:37.820 And this is something that she went through
00:01:40.280 So let's listen to it, yeah? You ready?
00:01:41.880 Cool
00:01:42.380 Okay, here we go
00:01:44.940 Oh, that's
00:01:46.020 This is Isa
00:01:47.160 As-salamu alaykum
00:01:49.340 You probably guys know him from the park, inshallah
00:01:51.340 Alhamdulillah
00:01:52.700 Yes, he's here
00:01:53.940 Today, inshallah
00:01:54.900 And give us a take on that
00:01:56.440 A moment when you experienced true and pure grace and you knew it
00:02:02.180 I was in Indonesia
00:02:06.240 I was going through my horrible divorce
00:02:11.080 I was 31
00:02:11.760 I was in a terrible depression
00:02:14.120 I took myself to this tiny little island and decided I needed to spend 10 days in silence
00:02:20.360 To try to have a truth and reconciliation hearing with myself
00:02:22.700 Because I was so full of shame and pain
00:02:24.260 I decided I wouldn't speak, not a word
00:02:26.600 For 10 days
00:02:27.480 And I didn't know anybody
00:02:28.540 I went and got a hut on a beach
00:02:30.160 In this tiny little very poor fishing island off of Lombok in Indonesia
00:02:34.000 And I got terribly, terribly sick with food poisoning
00:02:37.560 And my plan was to walk around the island every day
00:02:40.080 Because it was a tiny little island
00:02:41.160 And there was this one woman, this Muslim woman
00:02:43.680 I mean, when I say this island was poor
00:02:46.160 I mean what these people fished that day is what they ate for dinner that night
00:02:49.360 And this one woman on the other side of this island used to see me walking
00:02:53.500 And she would put her head on her heart and smile at me when I walked by
00:02:56.400 And I would do the same to her
00:02:57.480 And then I got really sick
00:02:59.840 And I was stuck in my cabin, dehydrated, terrified
00:03:02.860 I actually thought I had malaria
00:03:03.920 Far away from anyone who knew me
00:03:06.800 And this woman came and found me
00:03:08.920 Something in her knew that I wasn't well
00:03:11.500 She'd seen me and she knew I wasn't doing well
00:03:13.600 Anyway, but when she didn't see me on my daily walk
00:03:16.520 She came and knocked on my door
00:03:17.980 And saw the condition that I was in
00:03:21.540 And went like this
00:03:22.440 And came back an hour later with fresh food and fresh water for me
00:03:26.600 And I just started crying in her arms
00:03:29.480 And she held me in her arms like I was her child
00:03:32.440 And just rocked me and took care of me
00:03:35.340 Did you even know her name?
00:03:36.520 Didn't know her name, still don't
00:03:38.480 And by the way, she's my face of Islam
00:03:42.020 Whenever, you know, whatever conversation in the world is ever happening
00:03:45.980 About Islam
00:03:46.980 She is my face of Islam
00:03:48.360 That woman
00:03:49.320 I don't know, I found this like
00:03:54.280 You see her last statement
00:03:55.440 Forget me
00:03:57.200 Tell her, how do you feel?
00:03:59.880 Like watching this
00:04:01.040 That's deep, my heart is smiling
00:04:02.680 Yeah?
00:04:03.440 Like
00:04:03.780 Why?
00:04:07.320 Just
00:04:07.660 Obviously the actions of the sister herself
00:04:11.840 Are
00:04:12.620 Like exemplary of
00:04:15.440 What a Muslimah or a Muslim should be like
00:04:18.520 In terms of
00:04:20.640 Serving the community
00:04:24.340 And just
00:04:25.020 You know, like the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said
00:04:27.440 Smiling in the face of your brother
00:04:29.720 Yeah
00:04:30.720 Yeah, obviously
00:04:31.180 They're not brothers or anything here
00:04:33.020 But just smiling in the face of someone can be charity
00:04:35.340 And you never know what someone can
00:04:37.200 Someone is going through
00:04:38.640 And
00:04:38.820 At that point, the sister seems
00:04:41.240 Like
00:04:43.040 She's very
00:04:44.520 Empathetic
00:04:47.140 She's got some
00:04:47.760 Some sort of foresight
00:04:49.180 She said that
00:04:49.420 She actually
00:04:50.000 What did she say?
00:04:51.600 Held her in her arms
00:04:52.440 Yeah
00:04:52.820 Yeah, she embraced her
00:04:53.920 Literally
00:04:54.420 Like, you know, you hold it like
00:04:55.580 Hold like a baby
00:04:56.220 Yeah
00:04:56.640 Yeah
00:04:57.000 Do you get it?
00:04:58.080 You can't fake that
00:04:59.020 Nah
00:04:59.420 You can't fake that
00:05:00.380 But that's not something that you can just fake
00:05:01.800 And be like
00:05:02.120 Oh, let me just do this
00:05:02.840 That's from the heart
00:05:03.160 It seems
00:05:03.780 Yeah, that's what I'm saying
00:05:04.520 It seems mad genuine
00:05:05.660 Like
00:05:06.180 But
00:05:07.820 Yeah
00:05:09.340 It's deep as well that she says that
00:05:11.620 That sister's the face of Islam for her
00:05:14.460 Like
00:05:15.360 I don't know, man
00:05:17.500 That's
00:05:18.000 One minute, forty seconds
00:05:20.300 That's
00:05:20.860 That's
00:05:21.780 The thing is
00:05:22.580 And what
00:05:22.940 What she says
00:05:23.920 Quite profound at the end of it
00:05:25.660 As well
00:05:26.100 Like
00:05:26.480 She goes
00:05:27.320 Like
00:05:28.660 Let's hear it again
00:05:29.580 This is profound
00:05:30.240 Just quickly
00:05:30.700 One second
00:05:31.300 Never
00:05:32.500 You know
00:05:32.880 Whatever conversation in the world
00:05:34.380 Is ever happening
00:05:35.340 About Islam
00:05:36.340 She is my face of Islam
00:05:37.720 That woman
00:05:38.700 Do you know what that means?
00:05:40.000 Look at what she's saying
00:05:40.820 She's saying
00:05:41.300 Basically
00:05:42.260 Any media coverage you show me
00:05:44.340 Any terrorism
00:05:45.300 Or this, that
00:05:46.120 Whatever
00:05:46.540 All I'm going to see
00:05:48.500 As you're telling me that
00:05:49.400 And you're trying to
00:05:50.340 Indirectly tell me that
00:05:51.260 Muslims are like this
00:05:52.000 I'm going to be seeing
00:05:53.020 That woman's face
00:05:53.660 Do you know what that means?
00:05:55.800 Do we understand
00:05:57.380 What is happening here?
00:05:59.440 And how the Prophet
00:06:00.080 Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said
00:06:00.780 I only came to
00:06:02.660 Perfect good character
00:06:04.020 Yeah
00:06:04.460 And that
00:06:05.520 One of the things
00:06:06.260 That's going to be heavy
00:06:06.740 On the day of judgment
00:06:07.320 I repeat this over and over again
00:06:08.720 Because as an Ummah
00:06:09.880 We are in such a state
00:06:11.680 Aki
00:06:12.000 So superficial state
00:06:13.960 That
00:06:14.540 What I've memorized
00:06:15.840 The books behind me
00:06:17.140 The Yani
00:06:17.880 The Arabic terminology
00:06:20.020 That we use
00:06:20.820 That we've made the religion
00:06:22.480 So superficial
00:06:23.440 That
00:06:24.500 We see someone like that
00:06:26.400 And be like
00:06:26.700 Okay he's religious
00:06:27.520 And
00:06:28.580 This is a sad reality
00:06:29.920 Because
00:06:30.320 That sister
00:06:31.820 Who gave her a hug
00:06:32.940 Like a baby
00:06:33.960 And
00:06:35.000 Show her that affection
00:06:36.540 Show the concern
00:06:37.420 It is the biggest
00:06:39.180 Form of dawah
00:06:40.160 That you can ever do
00:06:41.420 That
00:06:42.020 Be it Zaki Naik
00:06:43.520 Whoever
00:06:44.300 The best da'i
00:06:45.340 In the whole wide world
00:06:46.240 Would never
00:06:47.240 Ever
00:06:47.920 Ever
00:06:48.360 Make somebody
00:06:49.460 Feel like that
00:06:50.420 And that has left
00:06:51.780 Such an effect on her
00:06:52.860 That she's saying
00:06:53.440 Look whatever I hear
00:06:54.260 You can say whatever you like
00:06:55.420 That
00:06:56.060 I will never forget
00:06:57.360 The woman for the rest of my life
00:06:58.500 And now
00:06:59.600 Are you telling me
00:07:00.540 That
00:07:00.860 If we were supposed
00:07:01.860 To speak to this
00:07:03.340 Sister
00:07:04.480 This female
00:07:04.860 And
00:07:05.960 Told her a bit about Islam
00:07:07.140 You don't think her heart
00:07:08.440 Is open to receive
00:07:09.920 100%
00:07:10.740 Imagine
00:07:11.500 If she was going through
00:07:12.460 That depression
00:07:12.920 And then there was a sister
00:07:14.060 Where she said
00:07:14.520 In a naqab
00:07:15.220 Yeah
00:07:15.880 Yeah
00:07:16.480 Doing all kind of madness
00:07:17.320 And there's another video
00:07:18.140 Of a
00:07:18.740 Disgusting
00:07:20.020 Vile
00:07:20.540 Slavery
00:07:22.120 That's
00:07:22.660 That's happened
00:07:23.160 Which I don't want to watch it
00:07:25.220 While I
00:07:25.540 I personally do not want to watch it
00:07:27.020 Imagine
00:07:27.940 If she was going through that
00:07:29.360 And she said
00:07:29.660 There was a woman in a veil
00:07:30.660 She treated me like this
00:07:31.760 And she's at her lowest of her law
00:07:33.540 Do you get what I'm trying to say
00:07:34.320 So
00:07:35.140 It's a beautiful reminder
00:07:37.300 For us to understand
00:07:38.540 Our akhlaq
00:07:39.800 Our adab man
00:07:40.660 Our manners
00:07:41.280 The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
00:07:42.100 You know
00:07:42.580 There's so many hadith on this
00:07:44.020 You know
00:07:44.260 Al-Adab al-Mufrad
00:07:45.000 If you read it bro
00:07:45.660 It's so profound
00:07:47.240 And we haven't even
00:07:48.960 Scratched the surface
00:07:50.020 Scratched the surface
00:07:50.880 Aki
00:07:51.100 We're too busy talking about
00:07:52.340 Tawheed
00:07:53.660 Brother
00:07:54.160 Tawheed
00:07:54.940 This woman
00:07:57.120 What she did
00:07:57.840 Brother
00:07:58.540 She lived Tawheed
00:08:00.320 This woman
00:08:00.960 Saw Tawheed
00:08:02.400 The essence of Tawheed
00:08:03.620 Within the actions of her
00:08:04.600 Yeah
00:08:04.680 Definitely
00:08:05.320 You get what I'm trying to say
00:08:06.060 So we're not mocking
00:08:06.780 The
00:08:07.420 Memory of
00:08:10.160 Verses
00:08:11.000 Or the fact that
00:08:11.800 Someone should recall a hadith
00:08:13.120 Yes
00:08:13.640 But what's most important here
00:08:15.180 Is
00:08:15.380 And what I think is
00:08:16.300 The
00:08:16.480 The
00:08:17.300 The lesson here
00:08:20.100 To be learnt
00:08:20.620 Is that
00:08:20.980 Actions speak
00:08:22.160 Louder than words
00:08:23.120 Exactly brother
00:08:24.060 And
00:08:24.400 That's it bro
00:08:25.820 You can talk as much as you like
00:08:27.480 Someone's going to be
00:08:28.640 Observing
00:08:29.220 The way you carry yourself
00:08:30.920 They're going to be looking
00:08:32.420 And thinking
00:08:32.800 Okay
00:08:33.100 This Tawheed you talk about
00:08:34.320 Can I see any actions
00:08:35.860 Yeah
00:08:36.220 Okay you talk about Tawheed
00:08:37.700 And the Sunnah
00:08:38.200 Sunnah
00:08:38.520 Sunnah
00:08:38.540 Quran
00:08:38.740 Sunnah
00:08:39.140 Or whatever it may be
00:08:40.800 Continuously
00:08:41.880 But I don't see that in your actions
00:08:43.480 You're very rude
00:08:44.960 You're very harsh
00:08:46.060 You know
00:08:46.660 This is where it goes back to
00:08:48.600 And walaay
00:08:49.360 We can't emphasise enough of it
00:08:51.080 That you can see
00:08:52.100 The action
00:08:52.820 Do you know what that woman
00:08:54.000 Is going to be saying to Muslims
00:08:54.820 If she's in a place
00:08:56.080 And somebody says Muslims are like this
00:08:57.160 What do you think she's going to say
00:08:58.060 She's going to refute them
00:08:58.640 Get out of here
00:08:59.540 She's going to say get out of here
00:09:01.080 Who you're talking about
00:09:02.540 Is not the Muslims that I know
00:09:03.720 And that is so profound
00:09:05.520 I found this amazing
00:09:07.100 And this video was randomly
00:09:08.240 Sent to me on WhatsApp
00:09:09.460 By a number I don't even know
00:09:10.820 I mean I don't even know who it was
00:09:11.780 I said bro that was sick
00:09:13.040 I don't even know who you are
00:09:13.820 Yeah
00:09:14.260 It was absolutely amazing
00:09:16.660 And I wanted to share that
00:09:17.780 With you guys brothers and sisters
00:09:18.740 And for us to understand
00:09:20.240 You have neighbours
00:09:21.320 Yeah
00:09:22.120 We were speaking to
00:09:22.900 We went when this attack happened
00:09:24.280 In a church
00:09:25.420 In Sri Lanka
00:09:26.360 We went with the word
00:09:27.760 Salaam
00:09:28.320 To give some flowers etc
00:09:29.300 And went to some people
00:09:31.260 And they were talking about
00:09:31.920 Their neighbours
00:09:32.280 Oh Muslims you know
00:09:33.120 They're rude
00:09:34.220 They're parking for us
00:09:35.140 Bruv like seriously
00:09:37.100 Like and
00:09:37.860 And
00:09:38.560 Yeah
00:09:38.880 Come on man
00:09:41.700 Yeah
00:09:42.320 Yeah
00:09:43.020 Yeah no it's
00:09:43.720 It's even
00:09:44.880 Till now
00:09:45.460 My heart's still like
00:09:46.440 It's because
00:09:47.900 There is no
00:09:49.500 Like there's no
00:09:50.160 Kedib in that woman there
00:09:51.300 In terms of
00:09:51.960 There's no lies
00:09:52.720 And she's not faking
00:09:54.100 That emotion
00:09:54.780 That you see there
00:09:55.620 Like she was
00:09:56.260 At the lowest of the law
00:09:57.480 And it's
00:09:57.800 Like think about it
00:09:59.640 Yeah
00:10:00.180 The woman
00:10:00.940 She probably didn't know
00:10:02.360 A lot of verses
00:10:03.120 Of Quran
00:10:03.760 But she was
00:10:05.380 Implementing
00:10:07.080 What she knew
00:10:08.060 From Allah
00:10:08.860 To the best of her ability
00:10:10.720 And it just shows you
00:10:12.000 That Tawheed
00:10:12.720 Is supposed to
00:10:13.480 Actually affect
00:10:14.440 Change in the community
00:10:16.140 Tawheed
00:10:16.940 Not just in the limbs
00:10:17.840 It's not just sujood
00:10:18.820 In the front row
00:10:19.480 Of the masjid
00:10:19.980 It is
00:10:20.400 Actually
00:10:21.400 Benefiting
00:10:23.720 Singling out
00:10:25.200 Allah alone
00:10:25.760 And singling out
00:10:26.440 In the favours
00:10:27.400 That he's bestowed
00:10:28.060 He's bestowed upon you
00:10:29.360 And this woman here
00:10:30.520 She's just
00:10:31.000 She's showing the beauty
00:10:32.960 Of Islam
00:10:33.520 To this woman
00:10:34.020 So much to the point where
00:10:35.200 If anyone speaks ill of Islam
00:10:37.420 Yeah
00:10:37.720 She's not having it
00:10:39.320 She's not having it
00:10:39.840 Imagine if that was
00:10:40.980 Our da'wah
00:10:41.880 That we did everywhere
00:10:43.160 Every time you came
00:10:44.460 Across a Muslim
00:10:45.160 You only had
00:10:46.780 A good encounter
00:10:47.680 Of Muslim
00:10:48.340 Then
00:10:49.440 It's deep
00:10:50.700 Even the naysayers
00:10:52.020 Even the people
00:10:52.700 That made us like Islam
00:10:53.840 Because not everybody
00:10:54.500 Is going to love Islam
00:10:55.280 But at least
00:10:56.820 Your opponent
00:10:58.280 Your enemy
00:10:58.900 Can say
00:10:59.600 Yeah
00:11:00.280 I
00:11:00.620 You know
00:11:01.420 I had such and such
00:11:02.580 An encounter
00:11:03.160 With that person
00:11:03.760 And that person
00:11:04.340 At the very least
00:11:05.540 Showed me good manners
00:11:06.780 Yeah
00:11:07.020 I think it was
00:11:07.540 Shef Salah
00:11:07.900 Who said to
00:11:08.780 There was an Egyptian
00:11:09.860 Shef
00:11:10.100 Who was asking
00:11:10.540 For nasiyah
00:11:11.060 From Shef Salah
00:11:11.620 I can't remember
00:11:13.040 And he said to him
00:11:15.320 Look
00:11:15.480 I'm asking for two things
00:11:17.400 You might make dua
00:11:18.000 I make dua
00:11:18.740 That Allah makes you
00:11:19.480 Success
00:11:20.840 Like successful
00:11:21.360 In what you're doing
00:11:21.960 And number two
00:11:23.960 He goes
00:11:24.360 When you're giving da'wah
00:11:25.320 If the person opposite
00:11:26.420 Doesn't accept your message
00:11:27.460 At least
00:11:28.640 Leave them neutral
00:11:29.840 Don't be like
00:11:31.040 I look at you man
00:11:31.800 You're not accepting the message
00:11:32.640 You know
00:11:32.880 I have to show this
00:11:33.380 It's true
00:11:34.080 It's fine
00:11:34.420 You see your arrogant man
00:11:35.660 What the hell are you talking about bro
00:11:37.360 How long did it take you
00:11:38.460 Are you riveting something
00:11:39.160 How long did it take you
00:11:40.680 These little droplets
00:11:41.560 Of you know
00:11:42.640 The message of Islam
00:11:44.180 That eventually you accept
00:11:45.580 You know
00:11:45.940 Guys
00:11:47.300 That's about it man
00:11:48.440 That's what I want to share
00:11:49.160 With you guys
00:11:49.460 I found it profound
00:11:50.240 I found it absolutely amazing
00:11:51.580 And we ask Allah
00:11:52.140 To guide her
00:11:53.220 And guide us
00:11:54.520 Guide us all
00:11:55.200 Guide us man
00:11:56.200 Wallahi
00:11:56.660 And change our akhlaq
00:11:57.720 Our adab
00:11:58.220 To what it's supposed to be
00:11:59.800 And the best
00:12:00.700 I want to
00:12:01.600 You
00:12:03.160 If I'm mistaken
00:12:04.300 The Prophet ï·º
00:12:05.080 It's like
00:12:06.340 Your character
00:12:07.500 It's important
00:12:08.380 When you
00:12:09.100 Let people see Islam in you
00:12:11.080 Let them not hear it
00:12:11.960 For once
00:12:12.320 Let them see it in you
00:12:14.040 Yeah
00:12:14.640 God bless you guys
00:12:15.240 Just on the last point
00:12:17.000 On that hadith as well
00:12:18.080 The fact that the Prophet ï·º
00:12:19.440 Used
00:12:19.760 Innama
00:12:20.320 Innama
00:12:21.360 Is an
00:12:22.340 Emphasis
00:12:24.240 Yeah
00:12:24.540 Which shows
00:12:25.360 I know
00:12:26.040 Like sometimes
00:12:26.840 It's easy for us to quote
00:12:28.340 And it doesn't really
00:12:29.380 Affect anything
00:12:30.340 But there's a
00:12:31.080 The Prophet is stressing
00:12:32.660 This mannerism
00:12:33.760 And when you look at
00:12:34.940 The lifestyle
00:12:36.220 Of the Prophet ï·º
00:12:37.260 And like I said
00:12:37.920 Friends and enemies
00:12:39.200 You always have the best of akhlaq
00:12:40.920 And we need to really
00:12:42.040 Do our best
00:12:42.980 In trying to implement that
00:12:44.060 100%
00:12:44.620 Well my sister
