00:00:00.000 Muslims can't buy real estate?
00:00:01.820 No, you can't buy real estate, but he's saying you can't take a loan on it because you pay interest with loans.
00:00:05.120 But that's like some of the basics of real estate.
00:00:06.620 That's exactly.
00:00:10.300 It's your brother Uthman from OneNumma Charity.
00:00:12.380 I'm here on the ground.
00:00:13.660 As you can see behind me, this is a home that has been destroyed by the earthquake.
00:00:18.120 Alhamdulillah, what I have in my hand is our food pack that we're giving to these victims that have been suffering from the earthquake, my brothers and sisters.
00:00:25.560 We need your support.
00:00:26.600 So, you know, these brothers and sisters, what they've done is they've come together as a community and made a communal kitchen where they can cook this stuff.
00:00:33.580 This is why we're giving out milk, tomato, piri, tea, sugar, oil, flour, so they can make themselves food.
00:00:40.740 My brothers and sisters carry on supporting OneNumma.
00:00:43.060 We operate on 100% donation policy.
00:00:45.020 This is a video to Sneeko and Myron, and I'm calling them to a live discussion because I think there's so many misconceptions that's happening, you know, pertaining to many matters.
00:00:52.180 They've done a reaction video to my video.
00:00:53.560 So there's a misunderstanding and recently Sneeko done a video about, oh my gosh, interest is haram as well.
00:00:58.060 Muslims can't buy real estate?
00:00:59.700 No, you can't buy real estate, but he's saying you can't take a loan on it because you pay interest with loans.
00:01:03.000 But that's like some of the basics of real estate.
00:01:04.500 That's exactly.
00:01:05.460 I want to say something to those people in the comment section.
00:01:07.460 Please understand something.
00:01:08.560 Yes, that Ali said, do not tell the people what they're not ready to hear.
00:01:12.240 Do you want them to disbelieve in Allah and his messenger?
00:01:14.080 All of us have a different faith.
00:01:15.760 When he's new, stop saying this is haram, this is haram, this is haram, this is haram.
00:01:19.220 Like Aisha said, if Islam was to come with prohibitions, halal haram, nobody would have come to Islam.
00:01:24.640 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala knows the creation.
00:01:26.840 That's why he gave certain commandments slowly and slowly and slowly so people's imans can grow, subhanAllah.
00:01:32.520 That's what Allah in the Quran says to the Bedouins.
00:01:34.320 They say we believe.
00:01:35.480 Don't say you believe yet.
00:01:36.520 Say you have submitted.
00:01:37.940 Allah definishes between a Muslim and a mu'min.
00:01:40.080 Every mu'min is a Muslim, but not every Muslim is a mu'min.
00:01:43.120 A mu'min is a believer who believes satyaqeen certainty.
00:01:46.160 So for you guys to go and pick on Sneeko, you're putting him off.
00:01:50.660 He needs to understand the concept.
00:01:52.200 When I first came to Islam, there were certain things I was like, what?
00:01:54.360 Really?
00:01:54.660 When I heard that the sahabas fought each other, I was like, no way.
00:01:57.940 The best of you.
00:01:58.700 But this happened.
00:01:59.800 It's a reality.
00:02:00.500 It teaches us a lesson.
00:02:01.500 But we need to be very, very careful.
00:02:03.740 So therefore, I'm inviting my brother Sneeko and my brother Myron.
00:02:06.600 Please, I would love to have a live discussion with you guys.
00:02:09.060 And we can talk about all of these matters to Islam.
00:02:11.420 Whatever I know.
00:02:12.080 Anything that I don't know, I would try my best to point you guys in the right direction.
00:02:15.300 But it would be nice to sit down and talk about when it comes to different matters of, you know, women, money, status, all that kind of stuff.
00:02:22.960 We can talk about all of that.
00:02:24.220 So to my brother Sneeko, just understand that an example that I'm going to give you, if you do the live of Iblis, Shaitan and Adam,
00:02:30.400 this will give you a direct answer to the issue of interest.
00:02:34.560 Yes, trust me.
00:02:35.460 You will totally understand.
00:02:36.820 And a lot of things in Islam will make sense to you.
00:02:38.760 This is the advice that I want to give you in person, live, or we can do it without.
00:02:42.260 It doesn't need to be on camera.
00:02:43.260 I genuinely, it's not about the camera.
00:02:44.940 I promise you, if you guys want a freeway conversation off camera, on Zoom or whatever, off camera, I am more than happy to do this.
00:02:51.180 It doesn't need to be on camera.
00:02:52.320 Believe me, I don't give a damn about that.
00:02:53.600 That's not important for me.
00:02:54.580 So brother Sneeko, if you're watching this, understand, take a step and slowly ignore the Muslims that are throwing Islam that are haram.
00:03:00.280 Gradual process.
00:03:01.340 It took me 10 years to come where I am and I've got a long journey to go.
00:03:04.460 So take it easy.
00:03:05.500 Don't let people overwhelm you and it's going to take, it's going to be overburdened for you and you're going to end up crumbling.
00:03:11.400 Don't.
00:03:11.760 Take it easy at a time.
00:03:12.820 Don't take everything that people in the comments say.
00:03:14.840 There are a lot of enemies of Islam that are saying things just to put you off.
00:03:17.180 So in a nutshell, I would say, my brother Sneeko, that understand everything Allah has legislated, there is a reason behind it.
00:03:24.060 There's the wisdom behind it and there's a reason behind it as well.
00:03:26.300 So just bear that in mind and believe me, there is so much more barakah.
00:03:29.700 Once we understand, have a relationship with Allah, the reason you're saying this stuff is because you're still a Muslim.
00:03:34.680 Once you reach the stage of being a mu'min, a true believer, like a true way, you're like, this makes sense to me.
00:03:41.180 I have trust in God.
00:03:42.300 If God says, look, I live in a one bedroom flat.
00:03:44.640 I pay 1200 pounds a month.
00:03:46.920 This is really expensive with my three daughters.
00:03:48.980 I am somebody that if I want, I can make like arguments, say, if I want a quarter of a million pounds a year.
00:03:54.280 Yeah, okay.
00:03:54.940 I can make it.
00:03:55.660 But the point is, I'm not concerned about money.
00:03:57.820 My aim is not motivation, money, money, let me have a manager.
00:03:59.600 I don't care about this life.
00:04:00.840 Yes, this doesn't mean I'm making my family.
00:04:02.420 Alhamdulillah, we are good.
00:04:03.380 We are more than happy.
00:04:04.420 We are more happy and content with this rent than me going and buying a house on interest, which is waging, is as good as waging war against Allah and his messenger.
00:04:12.880 It's a major sin.
00:04:14.020 So to me, I am more than happy to be in a one bedroom flat for the rest of my life.
00:04:18.400 Even if it means I sleep on the sofa and my family sleep on the bed or I sleep on the floor, as long as we are pleasing Allah and he is happy with me.
00:04:25.080 I don't give a damn what anybody says.
00:04:27.420 Oh, I don't care.
00:04:28.740 The reason why I don't do that.
00:04:30.100 However, if I had some money saved, if I was making some money and I had the means to buy a house or there's different means of halal ways of buying a property, of course I would do that.
00:04:38.180 I'm not going to say no to that because it's halal.
00:04:40.220 Doing transaction, doing business is permissible.
00:04:42.480 It's interest that is not permissible because it takes advantage of the weak and makes the poor poorer and the rich richer.
00:04:49.700 It's the whole system that destroys you as a whole.
00:04:52.740 And this is the reason why the economic system that we're in collapses here and there every now and then.
00:04:56.820 So the Islamic principle, the way it's done, business is permissible.
00:04:59.680 You can do business.
00:05:00.440 You're a businessman.
00:05:01.120 Carry on doing business.
00:05:01.940 But interest is not permissible, my dear brother.
00:05:04.160 However, we will speak of that, inshallah.
00:05:05.860 And please understand the blessings of God in a one bedroom flat.
00:05:09.260 It is more beloved.
00:05:10.360 And there'll be so much more blessings than being in a mansion at the displeasure of God.
00:05:14.760 And there will be no blessing in that house.
00:05:16.900 Now, I'm not saying if you've already bought a house, that's fine because you didn't know.
00:05:20.620 We're just talking about taking gradual steps and knowing and understanding.
00:05:23.820 That's what I want to say, inshallah.
00:05:24.960 And know that happiness, contentment, peace in the heart, blessings come from God, not how big your mansion or house is.
00:05:31.280 And the rizq means what?
00:05:32.460 The queen has a massive palace, hundreds of bedrooms.
00:05:35.800 She only gets to sleep in one.
00:05:37.760 Many toilets, she gets to only defecate in one.
00:05:40.920 Yes, she has so many foods to eat.
00:05:42.600 She can only eat a certain amount, which means what?
00:05:44.780 That is what has been written and dedicated to her by God Almighty.
00:05:48.580 So, the point is what?
00:05:49.720 Let the blessings and the happiness and the contentment come from God.
00:05:52.980 Even if you're sleeping on a sofa, you'll be happy, my brother.
00:05:55.280 I understand that.
00:05:55.800 And I'm looking forward to hearing from you, to have a nice discussion with you guys, inshallah.
00:05:58.820 Take care.
00:05:59.240 Till next time.
00:05:59.840 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
00:06:01.040 My brother Sneeko.
00:06:01.860 My brother Myron as well.
00:06:02.980 I've got love for you guys.
00:06:04.040 Please understand.
00:06:04.700 There's not everything, of course, I don't agree with the stuff you guys say.
00:06:07.160 You won't either with myself.
00:06:08.260 But just know it's nothing but love.
00:06:09.620 I'm not here for the views and the money and this.
00:06:11.040 Believe me, that's not the case.
00:06:12.420 And till next time, my dear brothers, as-salamu alaykum.
00:06:15.340 May Allah keep you guys firm and strong, inshallah.
00:06:17.800 Take care.
00:06:18.160 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
