today at salam corner we've got an amazing guest all the way from america
00:00:24.240
so you was you came i can't think you came to islam you joined nation of islam
00:00:36.160
right yeah which which we deem to be not believers right so but obviously using that fault what made
00:00:41.840
you come to nation islam and then from there to come to actual islam right so so basically i'm from
00:00:47.920
america so i don't know if you see on the news or whatever there's a lot of um you know there's a lot
00:00:53.440
of racism in america and um you know obviously those brothers are still our brothers in humanity
00:00:59.200
yes um you know but it's it was very appealing it's very appealing to us a lot of black americans we
00:01:07.200
deal with racism on a daily basis and you know the idea of it is very appealing to young black men
00:01:13.040
and um so kind of just hearing about the oneness of god that made sense uh hearing about um you know
00:01:20.480
being strong being men leaders in the community that made sense um but then there were some other
00:01:26.240
things that didn't make too much sense to me you know um i believe if there is going to be a god
00:01:30.640
he's going to be the most just he's not going to create people who are less than others just for
00:01:37.520
simply being born yes um so so you know luckily um allah subhanahu wa ta'ala guided me um to some of the
00:01:47.120
work that's done here i speak as corner brothers like yourself and uh other brothers on the da'wah
00:01:51.440
scene um and i started hearing you you brothers you know give da'wah and i don't want you to think
00:01:58.000
what you do here is is minute or it's or it's not being heard because if it wasn't for that situation
00:02:04.800
you know who knows where i'd be and and kind of just listening to yes god is one um but uh the prophet
00:02:12.400
muhammad is his is his final messenger you know no one came after uh and and and and disappeared in
00:02:20.720
a spaceship and and you know um so just just kind of hearing that kind of gave me perspective and i've
00:02:28.480
also read certain books um it's like before malcolm x for example um the brother he he may all
00:02:35.760
i'll be pleased with him uh he he joined um the nation of islam um amongst that path as well and
00:02:42.160
uh i'm not sure if you're familiar he went to mecca yes and he saw he saw he saw he saw what is the true
00:02:48.080
islam and um you know and and he and when he came back to the usa that's when his following his his his
00:02:56.960
purpose grew even bigger because he was on that straight path so i take that i take that story i take
00:03:02.400
that story uh to heart um and uh yeah so basically yeah you know so so what was what was the stuff
00:03:09.120
nation islam believed you said that for example did they did they say that what do they think about the
00:03:13.040
white people so um yeah i mean it's so they believe that white people were created in a lab um by uh by
00:03:22.560
yakub um okay at least that's what i was taught um and um and i i just couldn't believe that you know um
00:03:31.120
simply for the fact that you know why would allah create humans and just because allah's the most
00:03:37.440
merciful exactly so why so why would he create human beings who are who are at a uh disadvantage i guess
00:03:45.040
you could say just by being born yeah i suppose it's allah's nature allah's negated injustice to himself
00:03:50.000
right and and and and it's and i just started reflecting i look at all the other creatures that
00:03:54.800
allah has created and they have their purpose exactly they're they're beautiful you know you
00:04:01.040
could see the mercy in allah and allah just by taking a walk just hair hides part yeah you know
00:04:06.960
just you know so i i don't believe that allah will create something to to to just curse it exactly just
00:04:15.120
for existing um okay so where do you go from knowing from nation islam that this is not actually
00:04:21.600
islam what were the things that they believed that he was like hold on a second this doesn't
00:04:24.960
this doesn't add up yeah it was it was definitely um white people being created in a in a lab
00:04:38.560
as soon as allah got me to the straight path i had a nice thick peanut butter jelly sandwich
00:04:43.920
peanut butter smoothie you know um and that's and that's not to disparage
00:04:48.560
anyone else's beliefs right but and a lot of those brothers the crazy part is ali is a lot of those
00:04:54.720
brothers they mean well but they're just you know what in america we go through a lot of pain sometimes
00:05:00.400
some of us and and you know it's easy to to to get us to to that point you know what i mean
00:05:06.960
so um but yeah so i think it's very important and also they believe in prophets after right right
00:05:11.760
yes they would uh which is like a father muhammad who yeah who they believe um they actually pray
00:05:17.520
facing chicago no way yeah they pray facing chicago no are you kidding me right right um
00:05:23.040
yeah yeah yeah it's the start of allah so but but but you know may a lot guide them guide those brothers
00:05:30.240
and sisters do they see him as some kind of a devotee but why they're facing chicago is his grave there or
00:05:34.240
something it's uh his uh i'm not sure if it's if if it's because his grave is there um i just i just
00:05:40.400
i think that uh fad muhammad who claims to be a prophet and god himself i believe and no way yeah
00:05:47.200
god himself and that and that uh he let he actually left earth he didn't die he left earth in a in a
00:05:52.720
spaceship well he definitely left the earth but that's that's that's well that's crazy that's crazy but may
