00:03:09.460 it's quite a long story
00:03:14.760 mine is long as well
00:03:16.760 in Korea I was a singer
00:03:22.440 I started music
00:03:24.520 I went to YouTube four or five years ago
00:03:27.360 I saw some
00:03:28.520 I read it
00:03:29.120 yeah I saw some
00:03:30.040 so I debuted as a singer
00:03:32.500 and I came to promotion in Indonesia
00:03:37.620 I met Muslim people at the first day in Indonesia
00:03:47.360 before that I didn't know about Islam
00:03:50.360 because in Korea
00:03:52.920 always media
00:03:55.920 say about bad things
00:03:57.920 really?
00:03:58.920 yeah
00:03:59.920 so see in Korea
00:04:00.920 yeah like
00:04:01.920 dangerous situation
00:04:03.920 terrorism
00:04:04.920 oppression
00:04:05.920 blah blah blah blah
00:04:06.660 okay
00:04:06.980 so many people
00:04:08.460 uh
00:04:09.160 have negative thoughts against Islam at first
00:04:12.260 and you know
00:04:13.220 when I was young
00:04:14.220 with that 9-1-1
00:04:15.660 so
00:04:16.660 my
00:04:17.660 yeah
00:04:18.660 9-11
00:04:19.660 so
00:04:20.660 Adi
00:04:21.660 okay
00:04:22.660 so
00:04:23.660 so
00:04:24.660 so
00:04:26.660 so
00:04:28.660 at that time
00:04:30.000 at that time
00:04:30.400 I
00:04:31.400 yeah
00:04:32.200 so
00:04:32.560 but
00:04:32.960 when I was in Indonesia
00:04:34.720 I met people
00:04:35.820 from real Islam
00:04:39.120 not in media
00:04:39.720 yeah
00:04:40.400 and they are different than I expected
00:04:43.220 they are not dangerous
00:04:44.900 they are very kind
00:04:45.960 and
00:04:46.300 they are
00:04:47.320 where did you meet them?
00:04:48.400 in Indonesia
00:04:49.300 oh in Indonesia
00:04:50.260 okay
00:04:50.520 yeah
00:04:50.900 so they are very kind and nice
00:04:52.920 and very
00:04:53.460 have a lot of hospitality
00:04:55.100 have a really good attitude of their life
00:04:57.660 so
00:04:57.960 I was really surprised
00:04:59.460 oh
00:04:59.760 Islam is different
00:05:01.360 they are just human
00:05:02.700 and
00:05:03.100 they have
00:05:03.960 a really positive mind
00:05:05.840 so
00:05:06.640 that's interesting
00:05:07.260 so
00:05:07.560 bad media
00:05:09.140 yeah
00:05:09.760 and you're thinking
00:05:10.560 perception
00:05:11.500 but when you met real Muslims
00:05:13.000 yeah
00:05:13.500 their character
00:05:14.900 so their
00:05:16.100 their
00:05:16.640 manners
00:05:17.700 yeah
00:05:18.260 it's different
00:05:19.160 so you're thinking
00:05:19.880 okay
00:05:20.160 yeah
00:05:20.940 they have
00:05:21.440 they have something
00:05:22.540 that
00:05:22.860 I missed
00:05:23.400 because
00:05:23.900 like I feel that
00:05:27.940 because they
00:05:28.440 they have maybe
00:05:29.500 something
00:05:30.000 the purpose of their
00:05:31.200 life
00:05:31.840 they know
00:05:32.260 they know that
00:05:32.860 because the
00:05:34.460 religion teach them
00:05:35.720 like
00:05:36.060 their answer
00:05:36.900 because when I was young
00:05:37.960 I always thought about
00:05:38.900 actually
00:05:39.860 I'm Christian
00:05:40.940 but I also thought about
00:05:42.060 oh okay
00:05:42.580 I was Christian
00:05:43.240 but
00:05:43.560 I thought about
00:05:44.840 always thinking about
00:05:47.000 like fundamental questions
00:05:48.440 like where
00:05:49.100 I'm from
00:05:50.120 yeah
00:05:50.480 where am I
00:05:51.280 where I'm going
00:05:52.000 yeah
00:05:52.320 same
00:05:52.860 yeah right
00:05:53.700 but I don't know
00:05:55.080 the answer
00:05:55.560 because nobody
00:05:56.620 nobody teach me
00:05:57.740 like science class
00:05:58.900 teach you
00:05:59.460 like how
00:06:00.240 human
00:06:01.100 grow up
00:06:01.800 science tells you
00:06:02.900 how things work
00:06:04.260 but they don't tell you
00:06:05.020 why
00:06:05.300 why
00:06:05.700 yeah
00:06:05.880 they don't know
00:06:06.400 about why
00:06:06.740 so
00:06:07.580 I haven't thought about that
00:06:09.040 but when I meet
00:06:09.840 Muslim people
00:06:10.300 and talk with them
00:06:11.120 and learn about Islam
00:06:13.340 and I think there is
00:06:14.480 I think there is something
00:06:14.720 answered in there
00:06:15.960 who am I
00:06:17.360 and who creates this world
00:06:18.760 and who plans this everything
00:06:21.140 where am I going
00:06:21.860 where am I going
00:06:22.500 where am I going
00:06:22.540 where am I going
00:06:23.040 where I have to do
00:06:24.440 what do I have to do
00:06:26.000 and I think Islam
00:06:28.440 teach me
00:06:29.200 the kinds of
00:06:30.320 answers
00:06:31.380 give me the answers
00:06:32.220 so I'm interested in Islam
00:06:33.680 when I go back to Korea
00:06:35.840 I also started YouTube
00:06:37.340 and talked about
00:06:38.860 these kind of
00:06:39.900 thoughts about
00:06:40.920 like why
00:06:42.160 my feelings
00:06:43.540 when I'm in Muslim
00:06:44.520 and suddenly many people
00:06:46.480 watch that video
00:06:47.180 so I have a lot of
00:06:48.500 Muslim friends
00:06:49.180 and Muslims
00:06:50.160 even Korean Muslims
00:06:52.300 so I
00:06:53.160 started hanging out with them
00:06:55.100 and they teach me
00:06:55.960 a lot of things
00:06:56.620 so
00:06:57.060 so
00:06:59.320 so I started to practice
00:07:00.440 like
00:07:00.740 I started to pray
00:07:01.960 I started to press
00:07:03.040 in Ramadan
00:07:03.520 oh okay
00:07:04.300 yeah
00:07:04.980 it was
00:07:05.560 did you have Muslim friends
00:07:06.580 before?
00:07:07.520 not before
00:07:08.060 after the video
00:07:09.300 after the video
00:07:09.840 some people
00:07:10.260 can encounter you
00:07:10.880 yeah
00:07:11.060 right
00:07:11.380 okay
00:07:11.740 so
00:07:13.000 I started to practice
00:07:15.920 and
00:07:16.300 I feel very
00:07:17.400 something new
00:07:19.780 fresh
00:07:20.160 and very
00:07:20.840 peaceful
00:07:21.500 in my mind
00:07:21.940 because
00:07:22.340 before that
00:07:23.740 at that period
00:07:25.580 I had very
00:07:26.500 purest impression
00:07:27.480 about
00:07:28.000 about my life
00:07:29.620 and
00:07:29.900 I lost my way
00:07:31.280 and I'm there
00:07:31.840 how was life
00:07:32.920 before Islam
00:07:33.560 like
00:07:33.920 what was your
00:07:34.780 day-to-day life
00:07:35.380 like with me
00:07:35.960 like before I came to Islam
00:07:37.520 with me it was like
00:07:39.000 sorry
00:07:39.760 with me personally
00:07:43.160 it was just
00:07:44.900 I believed in
00:07:46.120 God
00:07:46.720 I believed in a higher power
00:07:47.760 but I didn't believe
00:07:48.280 in any religion
00:07:48.800 so with me
00:07:49.760 it was just
00:07:50.080 you know
00:07:50.340 partying
00:07:51.000 but I never found
00:07:53.140 happiness
00:07:53.540 I would see people
00:07:55.120 who
00:07:55.860 I thought you know
00:07:56.680 success is rich
00:07:57.780 to be rich
00:07:58.860 is success
00:07:59.300 but then
00:08:00.160 then I saw people
00:08:01.280 who are rich
00:08:01.880 who have the cars
00:08:02.980 the girls
00:08:03.480 the money
00:08:03.960 depressed
00:08:04.720 so I didn't understand
00:08:06.600 I said
00:08:06.940 I want to be like him
00:08:08.320 but he's not happy
00:08:10.480 so I think
00:08:11.680 it makes sense
00:08:12.940 so
00:08:13.240 what's the purpose
00:08:14.140 and then I had
00:08:14.720 my cousin
00:08:16.120 he committed suicide
00:08:17.500 oh really
00:08:18.520 yeah
00:08:18.740 my cousin
00:08:19.520 my neighbour
00:08:20.600 he hanged himself
00:08:21.900 my cousin's friend
00:08:23.200 hanged himself
00:08:23.840 so I was thinking
00:08:25.040 a lot of people
00:08:25.920 die
00:08:26.220 you know
00:08:26.780 so
00:08:27.460 it was making me think
00:08:28.420 you know
00:08:29.260 what's the purpose
00:08:30.740 you know
00:08:31.560 sometimes you look at
00:08:32.260 this
00:08:32.780 this has design
00:08:34.920 this design
00:08:36.240 it has a purpose
00:08:37.900 so it must have a designer
00:08:40.040 I was thinking
00:08:41.100 this has a designer
00:08:41.980 like for example
00:08:42.740 everything
00:08:43.260 and I don't
00:08:44.480 how could
00:08:45.380 how could this paper
00:08:46.160 have a design
00:08:46.680 and I don't
00:08:47.740 you know
00:08:48.020 yeah so
00:08:49.520 yeah so
00:08:50.060 you're saying
00:08:50.400 you're liking a bit
00:08:51.120 because I
00:08:53.060 you should try
00:09:00.340 this is Turkish
00:09:01.060 this is called
00:09:01.980 cigarette
00:09:02.900 cigarette
00:09:03.400 you don't smoke it
00:09:05.040 it's got cheese
00:09:06.520 inside
00:09:06.820 yeah so
00:09:16.060 you
00:09:16.240 you start
00:09:17.360 to
00:09:17.560 start
00:09:18.560 depression
00:09:18.900 you're not a muslim
00:09:19.480 because I also have depression
00:09:22.580 because
00:09:22.900 in Korea
00:09:24.060 it's a very competitive
00:09:25.020 society
00:09:25.900 very competitive
00:09:26.620 really
00:09:27.120 like a capitalism
00:09:28.260 yeah
00:09:29.160 and also
00:09:29.820 when you're a student
00:09:31.100 you have to
00:09:31.800 study
00:09:32.580 a lot
00:09:33.220 and you have to
00:09:34.060 go to college
00:09:35.160 and after that
00:09:35.800 you have to
00:09:36.240 get a good job
00:09:36.940 you have to
00:09:37.280 earn a lot of money
00:09:38.260 and you have to
00:09:38.940 buy a car
00:09:39.880 you have to
00:09:40.220 buy a house
00:09:40.720 that social pressure
00:09:41.980 is too much
00:09:42.960 too high
00:09:43.400 so
00:09:43.960 also many people
00:09:44.860 are suicides
00:09:45.380 in Korea too
00:09:46.120 suicide lady
00:09:47.260 is the most high
00:09:48.180 higher in the world
00:09:49.080 in Korea
00:09:49.420 very high
00:09:50.940 many people
00:09:51.940 have to
00:09:52.220 not just me
00:09:53.940 many people
00:09:54.360 have depression
00:09:54.860 also many celibate
00:09:56.000 suicide too
00:09:56.780 yeah
00:09:57.080 I think the reason
00:09:58.280 that happens
00:09:58.740 is because
00:09:59.220 I think it's
00:09:59.780 when this pressure
00:10:00.340 even in my community
00:10:01.500 when people are like
00:10:02.780 come in
00:10:03.520 suicide
00:10:04.120 it's because
00:10:05.200 it's these pressures
00:10:06.800 that I've been given
00:10:07.760 you know
00:10:08.120 this is what success is
00:10:09.500 you need to have this
00:10:10.680 and have this

00:10:25.400 this post
00:10:25.900 and like
00:10:26.220 me
00:10:26.620 I used to go to universities
00:10:27.700 you know
00:10:28.560 and in university
00:10:29.980 I used to go
00:10:31.280 and I used to ask myself
00:10:32.320 why am I going to university
00:10:33.300 why
00:10:33.680 because I want to study
00:10:35.280 but or
00:10:36.300 is it because
00:10:37.660 I want to prove
00:10:38.600 to my family members
00:10:39.620 you know
00:10:40.040 that look

00:10:45.140 I'm trying to
00:10:46.940 it's okay
00:10:48.180 yeah so basically
00:10:54.120 I would go to university
00:10:55.360 and I would say to myself
00:10:56.180 why am I going
00:10:57.040 yes
00:10:57.860 before
00:10:58.760 I wanted to study
00:10:59.820 then I wanted to
00:11:00.700 I started my own business
00:11:01.740 but I was thinking
00:11:03.800 I was thinking a lot of people
00:11:04.360 they go to university
00:11:05.160 so
00:11:06.340 people can say
00:11:07.900 oh wow
00:11:08.520 you've got a degree
00:11:09.520 it's just popular
00:11:10.560 it's fashion
00:11:11.000 and then in the UK
00:11:12.640 you have
00:11:13.200 you get
00:11:13.560 you get a debt
00:11:14.720 debt from the government
00:11:15.940 to go to university
00:11:17.420 so
00:11:18.120 debt
00:11:18.740 debt
00:11:19.340 so you borrow money
00:11:21.080 from the government
00:11:21.700 we're going to say
00:11:22.680 yeah so
00:11:23.360 I'm going to go to university
00:11:24.940 to get a degree
00:11:26.580 to show off
00:11:28.200 and then
00:11:29.140 I'm going to have
00:11:30.440 30 grand debt
00:11:31.800 I owe to the government
00:11:32.720 I said
00:11:34.140 why
00:11:34.720 just so people can say
00:11:35.820 oh bravo
00:11:36.780 it's slavery
00:11:38.500 you know
00:11:38.980 that's why I say
00:11:40.160 I found true freedom
00:11:41.500 in
00:11:42.540 Islam
00:11:43.860 because
00:11:44.500 I'm not serving people
00:11:45.640 I'm serving the one
00:11:47.600 who pray to me
00:11:48.180 I don't care
00:11:48.780 what you care about me
00:11:49.960 what you think of me
00:11:50.800 the life for
00:11:52.240 others people
00:11:53.160 is not
00:11:54.540 it can't be a happy
00:11:55.500 never
00:11:56.100 ever
00:11:56.760 I also realized
00:11:59.600 that after I
00:12:00.460 come to university
00:12:01.220 yeah
00:12:01.680 the only happiness
00:12:05.080 is when you
00:12:05.780 serve Allah
00:12:06.500 and
00:12:06.880 yeah
00:12:07.800 you have to
00:12:10.040 find yourself first
00:12:11.060 yeah
00:12:12.200 yeah
00:12:12.700 you see around you
00:12:20.460 you look at people
00:12:21.020 you look at
00:12:21.560 you know
00:12:23.040 be it
00:12:23.440 males
00:12:24.060 females
00:12:24.580 trying to look
00:12:25.300 you know
00:12:26.100 have to go to the gym
00:12:26.880 why
00:12:27.900 for you
00:12:28.460 oh no
00:12:29.160 so girls like me
00:12:30.200 girls
00:12:31.140 their makeup
00:12:32.140 their society
00:12:33.840 make you
00:12:34.220 make a woman feel ugly
00:12:35.500 get your nose down
00:12:37.100 get your cheeks down
00:12:37.800 get your ears down
00:12:38.460 some people
00:12:39.960 they turn into an animal
00:12:40.820 eyes
00:12:41.440 everything
00:12:42.160 lips
00:12:42.480 lips like this
00:12:43.200 surgery
00:12:43.600 yeah
00:12:44.180 plastic surgery
00:12:45.820 plastic surgery
00:12:47.160 why
00:12:47.420 because you have to
00:12:48.700 look a certain way
00:12:49.660 how is this freedom
00:12:50.960 how is this freedom
00:12:52.540 how is this freedom
00:12:52.560 that you can't go outside
00:12:54.120 with no makeup
00:12:55.140 how could you say to me
00:12:57.140 okay I'm free
00:12:57.760 really
00:12:58.180 can you go outside
00:12:59.120 with no makeup
00:12:59.500 no no no
00:12:59.920 why
00:13:00.200 well because
00:13:01.540 I don't
00:13:02.200 you're asleep
00:13:03.480 and that's what
00:13:04.480 Islam came to do
00:13:05.220 to take you
00:13:06.680 away from slavery
00:13:08.240 to mankind
00:13:09.020 to slavery to Allah
00:13:10.460 because
00:13:11.300 being enslaved
00:13:12.340 to Allah
00:13:12.660 it frees you
00:13:13.780 you don't care about
00:13:14.780 this person
00:13:15.480 thinks this
00:13:15.940 you're interested
00:13:17.640 you know that
00:13:18.980 how you met Muslims
00:13:22.080 and Muslims
00:13:24.020 changed your mind
00:13:24.760 right
00:13:25.440 if you met bad Muslims
00:13:26.980 you wouldn't support
00:13:28.240 the narrative
00:13:28.740 what you watch your media
00:13:29.860 you wouldn't think
00:13:30.580 ah it's true
00:13:31.180 but the fact that you met
00:13:32.860 and that's why
00:13:33.260 you know the Prophet
00:13:33.780 he said
00:13:35.000 I came for nothing
00:13:37.060 but to perfect
00:13:38.300 good character
00:13:39.020 having good character
00:13:40.780 I know a lot of Japanese
00:13:41.900 and Koreans
00:13:42.400 they have
00:13:42.960 they have good manners
00:13:43.960 they're soft people
00:13:45.160 good manners
00:13:45.680 you know
00:13:45.960 I've noticed that
00:13:47.000 but
00:13:48.020 you see
00:13:49.380 when the Prophet came
00:13:50.640 the pagan Arabs
00:13:52.520 the Quraysh
00:13:53.220 they had
00:13:54.580 so when the Prophet says
00:13:56.520 he came to perfect
00:13:57.420 good character
00:13:58.020 to give people
00:13:58.700 good character
00:13:59.260 he's talking about
00:14:00.880 because you can have
00:14:01.780 bad character with Allah
00:14:03.220 how do you have
00:14:04.320 bad character with Allah
00:14:05.040 you don't obey him
00:14:06.140 you don't listen to him
00:14:07.480 so the Quraysh used to say
00:14:09.160 that Allah
00:14:10.760 angels
00:14:11.280 are girls
00:14:12.540 and having girls
00:14:14.820 was bad
00:14:15.380 so they say
00:14:16.480 Allah's angels
00:14:17.200 are girls
00:14:17.700 and they would worship
00:14:18.800 other gods
00:14:19.340 this is bad character
00:14:21.220 towards Allah
00:14:22.100 and to have good character
00:14:23.760 towards Allah
00:14:24.380 is you worship him alone
00:14:25.780 you know
00:14:26.840 so you started
00:14:33.380 freeing fasting
00:14:34.800 as a Muslim
00:14:35.480 yeah
00:14:35.940 as a Muslim
00:14:36.620 how do you feel
00:14:37.800 at first
00:14:41.060 at first
00:14:41.760 at first of course
00:14:44.120 it was strange
00:14:44.820 because I
00:14:45.380 I haven't used to it
00:14:46.580 but
00:14:46.900 after
00:14:48.220 after playing
00:14:49.600 after fast
00:14:50.260 I know
00:14:51.860 something
00:14:52.380 something
00:14:54.500 I feel
00:14:54.920 besides
00:14:55.480 it's hard
00:14:55.980 for you
00:14:56.280 to explain
00:14:56.800 but
00:14:57.100 I feel like
00:15:00.180 I'm with some
00:15:00.840 I'm with some
00:15:01.900 you're not alone
00:15:02.900 sorry
00:15:06.720 you were saying
00:15:07.260 you had a different
00:15:08.800 you had a different
00:15:09.620 feeling
00:15:09.920 yeah
00:15:10.700 different feeling
00:15:11.320 yeah
00:15:11.760 and then
00:15:13.420 I want to know
00:15:18.080 it more
00:15:18.440 yeah
00:15:19.140 so you
00:15:19.540 you went to the mosque
00:15:20.420 and you started praying
00:15:21.100 yeah
00:15:21.840 they have a mosque
00:15:22.340 in Korea
00:15:23.320 not many
00:15:23.880 but
00:15:24.160 there is
00:15:24.900 all right
00:15:25.360 did you pray to God
00:15:27.820 did you pray to God
00:15:28.880 or was you just
00:15:29.400 fasting and prayed
00:15:30.240 you didn't know
00:15:30.660 what you were doing
00:15:31.120 like
00:15:31.840 did you pray to God
00:15:32.540 like
00:15:32.780 you know
00:15:33.040 guide me
00:15:33.620 or
00:15:33.940 oh yeah
00:15:35.000 I said
00:15:36.240 what would you say
00:15:37.980 when you first prayed
00:15:38.640 what was it saying
00:15:39.380 because I'm lost
00:15:40.260 in my mind
00:15:40.840 so I want to find
00:15:41.980 where I have to go
00:15:43.400 and can you guide me
00:15:44.940 like this way
00:15:45.880 so
00:15:46.180 and then he answered me
00:15:47.560 like
00:15:47.840 yeah
00:15:48.540 yeah
00:15:48.920 I feel that
00:15:49.900 because he didn't answer me
00:15:51.040 like oh come on
00:15:51.840 but
00:15:52.080 some people think
00:15:53.380 some people think
00:15:54.580 you're going to have a light
00:15:55.240 yeah
00:15:55.800 I think
00:15:57.220 there was no light
00:15:58.320 but
00:15:58.500 I feel like
00:15:59.640 kind of things
00:16:00.280 like there is something
00:16:01.180 guide me very strongly
00:16:02.620 yeah
00:16:03.380 I feel that
00:16:04.960 so
00:16:05.140 after that
00:16:06.620 oh yes
00:16:07.140 I
00:16:07.680 I want to be a muslim
00:16:10.240 so
00:16:10.720 it's real yeah
00:16:11.480 how long after
00:16:12.980 like
00:16:14.140 I
00:16:14.380 I
00:16:14.520 I
00:16:15.040 I
00:16:15.520 I
00:16:17.280 studied
00:16:17.720 I think
00:16:19.320 half year maybe
00:16:20.500 half year
00:16:22.000 I studied
00:16:22.640 islam
00:16:23.260 half year
00:16:23.840 half year
00:16:25.240 yeah
00:16:25.640 and then
00:16:26.240 yeah
00:16:26.940 like
00:16:27.280 me I studied
00:16:28.100 for
00:16:28.360 two three years
00:16:30.120 oh no
00:16:30.820 I was looking
00:16:32.060 and looking
00:16:32.440 because me
00:16:32.900 I have to be sure
00:16:34.180 about something
00:16:34.640 to give it my all
00:16:36.560 I have to be sure
00:16:37.200 otherwise
00:16:37.860 wow
00:16:39.020 I think that course
00:16:44.340 is very important
00:16:45.080 like if you fully
00:16:46.120 understand
00:16:46.700 then after
00:16:47.300 convert islam
00:16:48.360 then you can
00:16:49.120 be a good muslim
00:16:50.220 definitely
00:16:50.720 yeah
00:16:51.020 so then you accepted
00:16:55.320 islam
00:16:56.580 yeah
00:16:56.760 no
00:16:57.560 so that's why
00:16:58.260 I accept islam
00:16:59.440 it's quite good
00:17:05.880 after I became a muslim
00:17:07.020 I have really good
00:17:08.780 like
00:17:09.040 I overcome my depression
00:17:11.880 yeah
00:17:13.020 yeah
00:17:13.660 now I
00:17:14.360 I'm not
00:17:15.320 I have no depression
00:17:16.140 so you had depression
00:17:16.780 before
00:17:17.060 yeah
00:17:17.600 but I don't
00:17:20.320 now I
00:17:22.600 I was very
00:17:23.680 struggle with myself
00:17:26.200 like oh I have to do this
00:17:27.540 I have to do this
00:17:28.280 I
00:17:28.500 I have to prepare this
00:17:30.060 I have to
00:17:30.740 do next
00:17:31.760 next
00:17:31.980 next
00:17:32.180 very stressful life
00:17:33.740 but now
00:17:34.200 I don't live like that
00:17:35.700 like I just
00:17:36.360 now I'm just relaxed
00:17:38.360 and just do my work
00:17:39.740 and
00:17:40.020 well even if
00:17:41.040 there's hardship
00:17:41.920 it's just
00:17:42.580 testable
00:17:43.420 Allah
00:17:43.740 and I can
00:17:44.460 Allah always give me
00:17:45.640 the hardship
00:17:46.040 that I can overcome
00:17:47.080 so and he always
00:17:48.120 planned for me
00:17:48.740 he's with me
00:17:49.400 so
00:17:49.600 whatever
00:17:50.700 I can do everything
00:17:51.660 so true
00:17:52.240 yeah
00:17:52.800 now I have more confidence
00:17:54.120 and
00:17:54.580 more
00:17:55.520 relaxed

00:18:02.980 yeah
00:18:03.320 so now
00:18:04.020 how was it
00:18:06.140 telling your family
00:18:08.360 because I know
00:18:09.540 there was a video
00:18:10.020 where you said
00:18:10.460 you told your mom
00:18:11.100 no
00:18:11.620 that was quite
00:18:13.180 not easy
00:18:13.600 yeah
00:18:14.420 are you close to your mom
00:18:16.140 or your dad
00:18:16.760 uh
00:18:18.260 dad was okay
00:18:20.300 but mom
00:18:21.060 he didn't care about it
00:18:24.500 much
00:18:24.680 but
00:18:24.900 me opposite
00:18:25.680 my mom is okay
00:18:26.500 my dad is okay
00:18:27.020 really
00:18:27.300 but my mom
00:18:28.640 my mom is
00:18:29.820 christian
00:18:30.580 catholic
00:18:31.220 oh
00:18:31.760 so what did she
00:18:34.320 what did she
00:18:34.720 what did she say
00:18:35.340 she doesn't worry
00:18:39.460 about religion
00:18:40.100 she worried about
00:18:41.340 danger
00:18:43.800 yeah
00:18:44.640 like
00:18:45.440 she thinks
00:18:46.060 oh if you join
00:18:47.480 islam
00:18:47.940 then maybe
00:18:48.440 you can join
00:18:49.840 terrorism
00:18:50.980 or something
00:18:52.180 or something
00:18:53.640 someone can attack
00:18:54.800 you
00:18:55.080 because of
00:18:55.540 your religion
00:18:56.060 so
00:18:56.460 yeah
00:18:57.060 so I persuade
00:18:59.360 her that
00:19:00.360 it's not
00:19:00.780 dangerous religion
00:19:01.740 but she also
00:19:02.720 worried
00:19:03.400 she's still worried
00:19:04.220 but I
00:19:05.340 the only one good thing
00:19:06.980 is I'm doing youtube
00:19:07.780 now she
00:19:08.340 can see my youtube channel
00:19:09.700 so I show
00:19:11.140 muslims life
00:19:12.340 how they peaceful
00:19:13.720 and how they
00:19:14.500 are nice
00:19:15.260 and kind
00:19:16.040 so
00:19:16.340 now she's
00:19:17.820 getting
00:19:20.140 understand
00:19:20.760 more understand
00:19:21.640 understand
00:19:22.080 so
00:19:22.480 now she
00:19:23.520 doesn't talk
00:19:24.880 didn't talk
00:19:26.380 bad
00:19:27.280 no
00:19:28.320 still
00:19:29.260 still she's worried
00:19:30.240 but
00:19:30.480 that's normal
00:19:32.700 for her to think
00:19:34.180 like that
00:19:34.440 that's normal
00:19:34.840 that's normal
00:19:35.240 but my mom is
00:19:37.640 also very
00:19:38.200 very good person
00:19:38.960 she
00:19:39.240 always
00:19:40.600 teach me
00:19:41.600 good thing
00:19:42.040 always
00:19:42.680 say me
00:19:43.360 be humble
00:19:43.960 and be modest
00:19:44.720 and
00:19:45.120 so
00:19:46.360 I think
00:19:47.000 that's also
00:19:47.620 teach about
00:19:48.320 islam
00:19:48.700 so
00:19:49.040 that's good
00:19:50.400 I think
00:19:50.800 with me
00:19:51.460 when I look at
00:19:52.620 like reverts
00:19:53.420 like ourself
00:19:54.260 you know
00:19:55.460 I think
00:19:57.480 it's
00:19:57.820 like even
00:19:59.880 sister Lauren Booth
00:20:00.760 I'm gonna go
00:20:01.380 see now
00:20:01.760 I'm gonna meet
00:20:03.160 her and her husband
00:20:03.780 with me
00:20:04.580 and my wife
00:20:04.960 even her
00:20:07.380 I believe
00:20:08.040 Allah picks
00:20:09.280 reverts
00:20:10.020 people who
00:20:10.500 come to
00:20:10.880 islam
00:20:11.180 it's your
00:20:13.540 job
00:20:13.920 to share
00:20:14.940 that message
00:20:15.320 with your
00:20:15.580 family
00:20:15.840 so it's not
00:20:17.380 Allah's plan
00:20:18.840 is not just
00:20:19.260 you accept
00:20:19.720 islam
00:20:20.040 Allah's plan
00:20:21.280 is
00:20:21.500 you will deliver
00:20:22.420 it to your
00:20:22.760 family
00:20:23.040 same with me
00:20:24.360 so that's why
00:20:26.360 for example
00:20:26.880 my family members
00:20:28.060 they come to
00:20:28.700 islam
00:20:28.940 I never thought
00:20:42.320 I'm gonna do
00:20:53.960 videos
00:20:54.380 youtube
00:20:54.740 I just said
00:20:55.520 I'm gonna do
00:20:55.920 my dawah
00:20:56.360 you know
00:20:57.120 I like
00:20:57.880 talking to
00:20:58.620 people
00:20:58.860 but now
00:20:59.780 I've got a
00:21:00.160 youtube platform
00:21:00.720 you know
00:21:01.320 I never knew
00:21:02.260 I'm gonna have
00:21:02.820 this
00:21:02.940 I never planned
00:21:03.460 it
00:21:03.640 I don't even
00:21:04.480 like me
00:21:04.920 before I didn't
00:21:05.380 like videos
00:21:05.840 camera
00:21:06.220 it's not me
00:21:07.220 my friends
00:21:07.980 they say
00:21:08.320 go do it
00:21:08.880 do it
00:21:09.100 you know
00:21:09.360 and slowly
00:21:10.580 it grew
00:21:11.860 so you should
00:21:13.180 see it like
00:21:13.820 that
00:21:14.340 and inshaAllah
00:21:15.220 Allah will
00:21:15.680 use you
00:21:16.280 many people
00:21:17.900 to come
00:21:18.160 so if somebody
00:21:19.560 is watching
00:21:19.900 this video
00:21:20.340 maybe christian
00:21:22.180 maybe buddhist
00:21:23.020 maybe muslim
00:21:24.340 what message
00:21:25.980 would you give
00:21:26.320 them
00:21:26.440 so if there's
00:21:26.840 someone there
00:21:27.360 who's thinking
00:21:28.620 about islam
00:21:29.100 but he's not
00:21:29.500 sure
00:21:29.760 what advice
00:21:31.340 would you give
00:21:31.740 them
00:21:31.960 if they're
00:21:33.520 thinking
00:21:33.700 oh my family
00:21:34.420 I'm scared
00:21:36.260 I think
00:21:38.980 my advice
00:21:39.580 I think
00:21:40.820 I don't deserve
00:21:41.360 to give
00:21:41.960 advice
00:21:42.340 to someone
00:21:42.660 but I
00:21:44.320 want to
00:21:44.700 say
00:21:44.900 that
00:21:45.180 don't
00:21:47.700 try too
00:21:50.040 much
00:21:50.300 like
00:21:50.580 I mean
00:21:51.100 just show
00:21:53.520 your life
00:21:54.120 and talk
00:21:56.080 with them
00:21:56.500 like
00:21:56.800 normally
00:21:58.240 I think
00:21:58.720 that's enough
00:21:59.240 because
00:21:59.620 if you
00:22:01.320 try too
00:22:02.420 much
00:22:02.600 if you struggle
00:22:03.240 that
00:22:03.600 I have to
00:22:04.700 make him
00:22:05.340 muslim
00:22:06.060 I have to
00:22:06.600 make a muslim
00:22:07.220 then
00:22:07.820 they make
00:22:08.400 more
00:22:09.020 bad effects
00:22:11.040 bad effects
00:22:11.760 because they
00:22:12.200 think
00:22:12.460 oh why
00:22:13.040 you
00:22:13.440 say
00:22:14.160 about
00:22:14.460 this
00:22:14.900 because
00:22:15.280 I don't
00:22:15.540 understand
00:22:15.980 but
00:22:16.300 if you
00:22:17.520 show them
00:22:18.060 your kindness
00:22:18.700 hospitality
00:22:19.280 and your
00:22:20.300 happiness
00:22:20.720 then
00:22:21.040 they think
00:22:21.740 like me
00:22:22.420 I saw
00:22:23.060 them
00:22:23.340 their happiness
00:22:24.380 and then
00:22:25.060 I changed
00:22:26.040 to muslim
00:22:26.840 I levered
00:22:28.340 to islam
00:22:28.740 but
00:22:29.580 if they
00:22:30.360 say
00:22:30.780 oh
00:22:31.280 believe
00:22:31.940 islam
00:22:32.300 it's good
00:22:32.740 why you
00:22:33.580 don't
00:22:33.780 believe
00:22:34.020 this
00:22:34.280 if they
00:22:34.580 force
00:22:34.860 you
00:22:35.040 then
00:22:35.380 I
00:22:35.660 don't
00:22:36.460 want
00:22:36.700 to
00:22:36.860 believe
00:22:37.160 because
00:22:37.700 why
00:22:38.300 you
00:22:39.000 force
00:22:39.280 me
00:22:39.500 so
00:22:40.800 I
00:22:41.080 think
00:22:41.380 we
00:22:42.340 don't
00:22:42.760 need
00:22:42.960 to
00:22:43.100 force
00:22:43.620 them
00:22:43.960 but
00:22:44.400 if
00:22:44.620 you
00:22:45.380 showed
00:22:45.780 your
00:22:46.180 happiness
00:22:46.660 then
00:22:47.000 I
00:22:47.180 think
00:22:47.360 they
00:22:47.620 can
00:22:47.920 interest
00:22:48.380 in
00:22:48.560 islam
00:22:48.860 then
00:22:49.520 after
00:22:49.820 that
00:22:50.140 we
00:22:50.480 have
00:22:50.680 to
00:22:51.060 give
00:22:51.600 them
00:22:51.780 knowledge
00:22:52.120 and
00:22:52.360 give
00:22:52.540 them
00:22:52.800 information
00:22:52.940 so
00:22:52.960 basically
00:22:53.380 show them
00:22:54.720 islam
00:22:55.140 not
00:22:56.080 with
00:22:56.400 speaking
00:22:57.260 but
00:22:57.660 with
00:22:57.800 your
00:22:57.920 actions
00:22:58.300 this
00:22:59.520 is very
00:23:00.100 important
00:23:00.460 because
00:23:01.020 a lot
00:23:01.280 of people
00:23:01.720 today
00:23:02.760 we live
00:23:03.040 in a time
00:23:03.480 where
00:23:03.700 everything
00:23:04.000 is
00:23:04.240 superficial
00:23:04.900 everything
00:23:05.800 so
00:23:06.540 you
00:23:06.880 know
00:23:06.960 we
00:23:07.100 just
00:23:07.240 think
00:23:07.420 okay
00:23:07.660 if
00:23:08.320 I
00:23:08.440 memorize
00:23:08.760 this
00:23:09.200 and
00:23:09.460 memorize
00:23:09.780 that
00:23:10.060 and I
00:23:10.380 speak
00:23:10.580 like
00:23:10.780 this
00:23:10.980 and I
00:23:11.200 speak
00:23:11.360 like
00:23:11.520 that
00:23:11.740 doesn't
00:23:12.280 mean
00:23:12.420 nothing
00:23:12.720 if
00:23:13.420 you're
00:23:13.580 arrogant
00:23:14.040 and you
00:23:14.880 think
00:23:15.080 you know
00:23:15.340 it all
00:23:15.700 some
00:23:17.620 people
00:23:17.860 they
00:23:18.020 come
00:23:18.200 to
00:23:18.300 islam
00:23:18.600 very
00:23:19.360 harsh
00:23:19.640 with
00:23:19.780 their
00:23:19.880 family
00:23:20.200 eating
00:23:21.800 pork
00:23:22.280 that's
00:23:24.200 what are you
00:23:24.340 talking about
00:23:24.860 because
00:23:25.520 this
00:23:26.180 shows
00:23:26.540 you
00:23:26.840 that
00:23:27.520 Allah
00:23:28.020 guided
00:23:28.440 you
00:23:28.700 when
00:23:29.560 you
00:23:29.740 are
00:23:29.880 arrogant
00:23:30.260 it's
00:23:30.740 like
00:23:30.920 saying
00:23:31.240 I
00:23:31.920 guided
00:23:32.200 myself
00:23:32.660 it
00:23:34.020 takes
00:23:34.340 time
00:23:34.700 some
00:23:35.420 people
00:23:35.580 it
00:23:35.660 takes
00:23:35.840 5
00:23:36.460 months
00:23:36.700 6

00:23:38.420 years
00:23:38.640 you
00:23:39.260 can't
00:23:39.520 expect
00:23:39.880 sudden
00:23:40.740 changes
00:23:41.140 people

00:24:17.680 a pleasure
00:24:18.820 me and
00:24:19.260 brother
00:24:19.480 Dawood
00:24:20.000 his story
00:24:21.480 is inspiring
00:24:22.000 we have
00:24:22.680 very common
00:24:23.960 things that
00:24:24.560 we share
00:24:24.940 and
00:24:26.340 yeah
00:24:26.580 it just
00:24:27.380 shows you
00:24:27.680 the beauty
00:24:27.980 of Islam
00:24:28.340 and
00:24:28.600 you know
00:24:29.300 it's
00:24:30.320 not
00:24:30.680 well
00:24:31.400 obviously
00:24:31.800 practicing
00:24:32.420 you try
00:24:33.260 your best
00:24:33.620 you know
00:24:34.000 but I've
00:24:34.840 always wondered
00:24:35.280 to myself
00:24:35.760 when I speak
00:24:36.340 to Christians
00:24:36.900 because I do
00:24:37.340 Dawood
00:24:37.620 I speak
00:24:38.100 to different
00:24:38.360 people
00:24:38.680 I just
00:24:40.180 don't
00:24:40.360 understand
00:24:40.860 why is
00:24:41.780 it so
00:24:42.160 hard
00:24:42.560 to worship
00:24:43.600 Allah
00:24:43.880 alone
00:24:44.180 I ask
00:24:45.080 the Christians
00:24:45.520 why is
00:24:46.140 it so
00:24:46.380 hard
00:24:46.600 why do
00:24:47.540 you need
00:24:47.940 Jesus
00:24:48.760 or someone
00:24:49.680 else
00:24:49.860 can you
00:24:50.140 not just
00:24:50.400 worship
00:24:50.680 God
00:24:50.900 alone
00:24:51.120 I don't
00:24:52.360 understand
00:24:52.760 you know
00:24:53.180 it's
00:24:53.340 just so
00:24:53.640 simple
00:24:54.000 and that's
00:24:55.100 the only
00:24:55.320 thing
00:24:55.460 Allah
00:24:55.660 asks
00:24:55.940 you
00:24:56.120 just
00:24:56.440 worship
00:24:56.780 me
00:24:56.980 alone
00:24:57.200 but people
00:24:58.120 for some
00:24:58.600 reason
00:24:58.820 they have
00:24:59.160 to go
00:24:59.380 for
00:24:59.500 Jesus
00:24:59.820 some
00:25:00.180 people

00:25:01.040 Muhammad
