00:01:24.880 documentary is as a Muslim how I find my wife so as Muslims how do we get to know somebody for potential marriage etc

00:01:34.360 so the documentary was supposed to come out four years ago it's delayed so people always ask me when is it coming out when is it coming out

00:01:47.800 he said you know brother Dawood who's Dawood I didn't think much of it and I said I'm a bit busy

00:01:54.860 and then a few people messaged me and they said oh you're here and I saw your Instagram and I saw some video you did some social experiments

00:02:02.100 yeah so I was going to see but I was a little bit busy so I waited and I thought I don't know maybe you're busy

00:02:18.580 and they said you know tag him maybe and Alhamdulillah I put it on Instagram and he got in contact with me

00:02:26.280 so I can remember seeing your videos first that he was looking to Islam he was looking

00:02:39.740 but obviously I wanted to meet you today no actually I'll be honest I didn't my intention wasn't to do a video

00:02:44.360 but I just wanted to meet you just to take you out because you're a new Muslim I just wanted to take you out 1.00

00:03:03.560 but what how did you come across this now like where did you come across this now

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.99

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 0.99

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 0.86

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 0.77

00:09:18.900 you're not a muslim 1.00

00:09:19.480 because I also have depression 0.93

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 1.00

00:09:47.260 is the most high 0.87

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

00:10:11.200 and have this

00:10:11.680 so

00:10:12.280 when he's looking

00:10:33.300 why

00:10:33.680 because I want to study

00:10:35.280 but or

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

00:11:09.520 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 1.00

00:12:06.500 and

00:12:06.880 yeah

00:12:07.800 you have to

00:12:10.040 find yourself first

00:12:23.040 be it

00:12:23.440 males 0.81

00:12:24.060 females 0.96

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 0.89

00:12:30.200 girls 0.98

00:12:31.140 their makeup

00:12:32.140 their society

00:12:33.840 make you 0.93

00:12:34.220 make a woman feel ugly 1.00

00:12:35.500 get your nose down 0.99

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.99

00:13:25.440 if you met bad Muslims 0.99

00:13:26.980 you wouldn't support 0.98

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 0.93

00:13:50.640 the pagan Arabs 0.89

00:13:52.520 the Quraysh 0.87

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 0.99

00:14:03.220 how do you have

00:14:04.320 bad character with Allah 0.99

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 0.99

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 0.99

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

00:15:37.980 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 1.00

00:16:48.360 then you can 0.92

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

00:17:16.780 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

00:17:31.980 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 0.97

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

00:17:51.660 so true

00:17:52.240 yeah

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 1.00

00:19:01.740 but she also 1.00

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 0.98

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 0.88

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 0.88

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 0.61

00:22:05.340 muslim 0.95

00:22:06.060 I have to 0.55

00:22:06.600 make a muslim 1.00

00:22:07.220 then 0.93

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 0.93

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 0.90

00:23:13.580 arrogant 1.00

00:23:14.040 and you 0.99

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 0.93

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 0.99

00:23:24.200 what are you

00:23:24.340 talking about

00:23:24.860 because

00:23:25.520 this

00:23:26.540 you

00:23:26.840 that

00:23:27.520 Allah

00:23:28.020 guided

00:23:29.560 you

00:23:29.740 are 1.00

00:23:29.880 arrogant

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

00:23:38.420 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

00:24:22.000 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

00:24:59.160 to go
