assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh brothers and sisters hope you're doing well
00:00:07.380
today's topic basically the reason why I wanted to do this video is now obviously since I've got
00:00:14.520
into the Dawah scene certain things have happened like for the past four or five months certain
00:00:19.680
events have taken place and certain actions that we have took as a team but not specifically talking
00:00:25.680
about certain individuals or anyone I'm not here to name anyone or etc etc today I want to talk about
00:00:31.300
why me as Ali why I do what I do and I want you guys to understand where I'm coming from because
00:00:39.100
obviously from the outside perspective sometimes obviously there's a lot of people that think okay
00:00:42.960
brother Ali what you're doing is right okay you're not perfect etc etc there's those ones that are not
00:00:47.900
religiously practicing but when they look and they're like this guy's an extremist this guy's a
00:00:51.860
haram police he does this he does that so I just wanted to clarify and tell you guys where I come
00:00:56.480
from what I've seen and what is the main reasons of why I do what I do now obviously I'm a revert to
00:01:03.600
Islam before I came to Islam I believed in God Almighty I always believed in a creator not to go
00:01:10.740
into much detail with that at the end of the video I'll have the link to my revert story which you can
00:01:14.160
watch in detail but I'm a revert to Islam now in my life as I've lived since the age of 14 15 till
00:01:23.920
about when I accepted Islam now there's certain things I've seen in life and gone through which
00:01:28.680
has shaped and changed me and my perspective in life and this dramatically changed when I came to
00:01:33.100
Islam as well now one of the reasons now as you guys know I have a reality show series the reality show
00:01:38.820
series is all based upon haram relationships it's specifically targets for the sisters to empower them to
00:01:43.920
show them their worth their value that we that basically that you are worth and the whole main
00:01:49.200
objective of the reality show is to show our sisters every single one of you guys hijabi non hijabi
00:01:53.760
practicing non practicing that you are worth more than being a girlfriend that do not get into these
00:01:58.740
haram relationships and this reality shows from part one to part eight initial apart now is going to be
00:02:03.780
coming out in a couple of weeks time is to cover this topic now I want to tell you guys why I started
00:02:09.600
the reality show number one first before going to detail now the reason why I started the reality show
00:02:13.680
with sisters brothers and sisters is obviously I come from a jahil background where I did jahil
00:02:16.680
things and I had friends who did jahil stuff now when I would be with them I would see them play
00:02:23.200
girls around and obviously I'm not saying like girls are just innocent and perfect and they don't do
00:02:27.220
nothing wrong but the one of the main reasons that I started a reality show is I saw the damage that it
00:02:33.500
had on an individual both it could be my male friend and the girls that he would play around with and break
00:02:39.400
their hearts and do all kinds of stuff so seeing this in life had a big impact when I came to Islam
00:02:45.340
and I said you know what these kind of stuff that my friends took part in and may Allah forgive me
00:02:52.440
the things that I have done has really really affected me in a bad way and I've seen my friends
00:02:57.420
crumble and it literally destroyed their lives you know and it can both happen with the female as well
00:03:03.300
so I became really passionate and I said you know what I want to do something for the youth where I can
00:03:08.440
stop this I want to put a stop to this because of what I saw and I saw the damages done not only
00:03:12.980
that me particularly specifically in my family and my household I had a cousin commit suicide due to a
00:03:19.240
haram relationship I had his friend commit suicide due to this I had a neighbor that I knew who lived a
00:03:27.300
couple of blocks away from me who hanged himself in his shop due to a haram relationship so when I'm
00:03:34.380
living but obviously before I came to Islam this was and when I see these stuff it really hits you
00:03:39.700
on like put yourself in my shoes you have these guys you have your friends this that you see girls
00:03:44.980
committing suicide cutting themselves harming themselves over haram relationships zina you have
00:03:50.660
your friends who are crying or on drugs or an alcohol due to haram relationships so me personally I
00:03:57.800
wanted to make a change I said look I want to do my bit for the sake of Allah I want to put a stop and
00:04:02.540
I want to put an end to this now that's one of the reasons why I started a reality show and I
00:04:07.920
really really had a passion for that my second point is basically but for the past five to six
00:04:13.980
months certain individuals who are youtubers who are both sisters and brothers which are youtubers I
00:04:22.700
don't need to give their name and go into detail and I'm not here to talk specifically about them I
00:04:27.260
just want to clarify where I'm coming from so you guys can understand inshaAllah so these certain
00:04:32.180
individuals have done videos which we found inappropriate this is both a certain female
00:04:38.300
sister that we know and certain brothers who have come here and they're still our brothers and it's
00:04:43.020
still there are sisters and we love them for the sake of Allah there's no doubt about that it's clear
00:04:46.700
cut no matter even if we have a differences etc now me and my team when I met Imran when I met Musa when I met
00:04:55.220
Imran's brother Saad Guled Dawood we work as a big team our main objective of coming together brothers
00:05:03.020
and sisters is to make changes for the youth we want to come and say you know what how can we benefit the
00:05:09.980
youth because with the permission of Allah Allah has given us a platform now we want to use that
00:05:14.240
platform to the best of our ability to help the youth me specifically and personally the deaths that
00:05:20.660
I mentioned to you about my cousin my cousin's friend and my neighbor killing themselves that
00:05:25.040
played a big effect in me wanted to help the youth another reason is back in my job is when I was 15 16
00:05:30.260
years old a friend of mine who died of cancer due to smoking and and also I knew a I knew a guy who
00:05:42.740
basically got shot dead and these kind of individuals when I look at their lifestyle the
00:05:48.260
lifestyle they lived and all this kind of stuff it played a big impact on me and very very recently
00:05:53.000
my dear brothers and sisters three months ago three four months ago a brother that I knew when I first
00:05:58.700
started to practice Islam and I tried to help him regarding the Dawah which I've released a video
00:06:03.600
friends from hellfire you can watch it for yourself it's based on a true story he got hit by a train and
00:06:08.940
he died may Allah have mercy on his soul but unfortunately he was out partying etc so I don't
00:06:14.800
want to go into detail but this played a bigger effect in me wanting to do more for the youth and I
00:06:20.880
said you know what before I used to give him a hundred percent I want to give my two hundred percent
00:06:24.440
for the youth and this played a major role now you need to understand my dear brothers and sisters
00:06:28.620
me specifically I want my my life I want to give everything for the sake of Allah I want to help the
00:06:35.580
youth and the ummah I do not care if you wear a hijab you don't wear a hijab you're practicing you're not
00:06:39.340
practicing we as a team and me specifically I want to do something to help the youth now just hear us
00:06:45.680
out from hear me out from my side now we have a plan yeah put yourself in my shoes you have a plan
00:06:51.660
in your plan you're saying I want to help the youth I want to show them the good stuff I want to say to
00:06:56.260
them clubbing is wrong because I had a friend who used to go clubbing and for example this friend ended up
00:07:01.280
being an alcoholic druggie whatever it may be I want to tell the youth that being in gangs is wrong
00:07:06.080
because I saw an individual who got shot to dead shot to death excuse me who got shot to death
00:07:12.080
because he was involved in gangs so I want to tell the youth gangs and all this kind of stuff are wrong
00:07:16.720
I want to tell the youth haram relationships are wrong don't go there why I've seen a couple of
00:07:21.120
individuals who have committed suicide now from my perspective I've got these in my head and I'm
00:07:26.400
thinking to myself Ali what can you do and I always ask this to Allah said oh Allah I want to do
00:07:32.480
something for the youth when I'm out and about when I see the youth going through certain individual
00:07:36.160
problems I say oh Allah give me the tools that I need and let me put in the work I will put in the
00:07:40.400
work I've got no uh pain about that I will put in the work Allah just give me the tools that I need
00:07:45.680
and alhamdulillahi rabbil alameen my friendships that I have the tools that I need alhamdulillah the
00:07:51.200
the the where I'm working now it enables me to do what I'm doing and the works that I carry on and
00:07:55.520
may Allah bless every single one of you guys for donating to our GoFundMe link who is which has
00:08:00.080
enabled me to have a cameraman for six months and we carry on the works that we do now my dear brothers
00:08:04.560
and sisters I have that plan in my head now me as we as a team when we are trying our best to make
00:08:11.920
videos like Imran and Nasir session channels my reality shows etc we are trying our very best
00:08:18.000
our very very best to carry this work on now you need to understand how frustrated we can get
00:08:26.240
when we have certain brothers and it's certain sisters that may be on youtube that come along
00:08:32.160
and do videos which end up corrupting the youth's mind so you need to understand that it might sound
00:08:38.800
a bit funny it's like we're like your older brothers we're like your older brothers and you are our little
00:08:43.920
sisters and our little brothers and we care about you guys we love you for the sake of Allah and Allah
00:08:48.400
knows us best and the people that know us they know why we do what we do for the sake of Allah
00:08:52.800
now when we see certain individuals come in and polluting the minds of certain brothers and
00:08:59.920
i do not say that they do it intentionally maybe they're thinking in their way that they're doing
00:09:04.080
something good and maybe that might be the case maybe it is you know we need to make excuses for
00:09:08.560
our brothers and sisters but when we see these individuals carrying out these activities these
00:09:14.640
ways of approaching certain individuals you need to understand that as a brother of yours we care
00:09:22.320
about you and we say look that is not right because we are trying and struggling trying to build this
00:09:27.120
it's like a house we're just trying to build it block by block by block by block by brick
00:09:31.920
and then somebody just comes and bang smashes it into pieces so we get frustrated and one of the
00:09:37.600
reasons why we do what we do is now you need to understand is that for example from the quran and
00:09:43.360
sunnah now we know allah says in the quran that let there arise among you a group of people who will
00:09:50.000
enjoy good and forbid evil now allah is saying that basically there should be a group among a group of
00:09:58.320
you among yourselves that will rise up and when they see evil they will say no don't do that in a
00:10:04.000
gentle and kind manner this is very very important when you are advising someone you have to do it
00:10:09.920
in a gentle and kind manner no foul language is used now when we look at the quran the the i mean
00:10:16.080
when we look at the hadith of the prophet mohammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam there is a hadith that says
00:10:20.000
if you see evil try to stop it with your hand now this does not mean you go and punch the guy it does
00:10:24.480
not mean that if you have power if you have an influence use that and if you and the hadith carries on
00:10:31.440
that says if you cannot stop it with your hand try to stop it with your tongue how speak out against
00:10:35.840
it with your tongue try to say look that's wrong please stop it etc etc and even if you don't have
00:10:41.200
the power to do that hate it in your heart and that is the laws of iman and there is also another hadith
00:10:46.000
of the prophet mohammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam which says you either enjoying good of you either
00:10:51.520
enjoying good and forbid evil if you don't then allah will send a calamity upon your heads
00:10:56.880
even if you prostrate it will be rejected from you so we understand that it's very important and
00:11:02.480
there's a quote from sheikh falzan which is very powerful very very really makes you think it says
00:11:07.280
i'm just paraphrasing it basically says if there's a group of people who are committing a sin or an evil
00:11:14.000
and these people who are committing this evil if the people who need to enjoy good and forbid evil do
00:11:20.800
not do what they're doing those group of people are going to think what they're doing is good
00:11:25.600
and they're going to carry on doing that and they're going to teach that to their future generations
00:11:29.520
and this is going to carry on and get worse and worse and worse and when this happens the sin will
00:11:34.880
all fall back onto those people who are sitting down and just watching and saying you know what
00:11:39.120
it's none of our business only god can judge me which is from tupac we don't really take that
00:11:44.640
and a lot of people quote it like it's a hadith and you need to understand this quote is so powerful
00:11:49.280
you cannot watch something you cannot say you know what just watch it and let it be
00:11:53.680
yes ibn Taymiyyah says that when you're enjoying good and forbidding evil if it's going to cause more
00:11:59.200
evil don't don't go there because it's going to cause more evil but if it's not and you can see the
00:12:05.840
evil spreading you have to say something about it now i just want to quickly sum it up i don't want to
00:12:11.120
hold you guys anymore um but my dear brothers and sisters i just want to tell you as myself Ali Dawah
00:12:16.400
that you need to understand i've seen a lot in my life maybe not as much as you guys have whatever it may
00:12:21.520
be but i've seen a lot and i really really care about the ummah and the youth i care dearly and
00:12:26.480
people that are close to me know why i do what i do and how passionate i am and you need to understand
00:12:31.920
my dear brothers and sisters when we see that the youth are already already been corrupted their brains
00:12:38.080
already been like they've already been brainwashed through school through walking outside when you go
00:12:42.880
around and you see like naked pictures drugs alcohol promoting and promoting and promoting they are
00:12:48.960
trying to get into the youth's minds right they're trying to corrupt it now we are just put yourself
00:12:55.440
in our shoes we are trying our very best to get the youth with the permission of Allah we only advise
00:13:03.600
and Allah opens their hearts we can't do nothing else so we are trying our best you need to understand
00:13:09.280
that when we see certain brothers or sisters come in and trying to get them back onto this track you need
00:13:15.760
to understand that we have to speak out we have to do something about it and we have to we say
00:13:21.280
application i can't stand up in front of Allah and say oh Allah i didn't want to say nothing because i
00:13:25.600
was scared they will attack me or they'll do this or they'll do that or their followers this that whatever
00:13:30.640
it may be and please brothers and sisters i'm not talking about any specific individual this i'm just
00:13:34.800
giving a general um i want to give you a general understanding of what i'm trying to say so you need to
00:13:39.520
understand that we're trying our best and you need to understand that certain things that we do we do it through
00:13:44.080
the quran and sunnah as much as possible so you need to understand that when we do certain things
00:13:49.280
and you don't like it your problem is not with me your problem is not with Ali Dawah you don't hate Ali Dawah
00:13:56.080
you hate the quran and sunnah but you cannot admit that to yourself so what you do is you attack the
00:14:01.120
individual that's implementing the quran and sunnah so you need to understand my brothers and sisters
00:14:05.280
that when we do something we try to do it with the best of ability to the quran and sunnah and if you
00:14:11.520
have a problem with that well your problem is not with us is with the one who's ordering us to do
00:14:15.920
