00:00:00.000 What is your name?
00:00:02.000 What is your name?
00:00:04.000 You remember the day you were
00:00:06.000 You used to heal the mind of your mind
00:00:08.000 You would die in love
00:00:10.000 And you would die with mercy 0.77
00:00:12.000 You would die with my mercy 1.00
00:00:14.000 You would die with your heart 0.99
00:00:16.000 You would die with your fear
00:00:18.000 You would die with your faith
00:00:20.000 You would die with your faith
00:00:22.000 And you would die with your faith
00:00:24.000 Two questions
00:00:26.000 One, is it a thing to have
00:00:28.000 Okay, so basically
00:00:32.000 We have a hadith, I think, of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
00:00:34.000 Who said that, and this is one of the beautiful things that I love
00:00:36.000 About Islam, is that
00:00:38.000 In Islam, we believe
00:00:40.000 That, for example, if I intend
00:00:42.000 To, let's say 0.99
00:00:44.000 Punch him 0.99
00:00:46.000 Don't ever think it's about size 0.93
00:00:48.000 No, no, no, trust me
00:00:50.000 It's not about size
00:00:52.000 Trust me, I've seen him get taken down by a little man 1.00
00:00:54.000 Like this
00:00:56.000 I'm joking
00:00:58.000 So basically, if I intend and say 0.98
00:01:00.000 Look, I'm going to punch hijab, yeah? 1.00
00:01:02.000 If I do it 0.99
00:01:04.000 Yeah?
00:01:06.000 And if I'm still alive
00:01:08.000 If I do it, it's a sin
00:01:10.000 If I intend to do it, but I don't do it
00:01:14.000 If I intend to do it
00:01:16.000 If I do it, and I don't do it
00:01:18.000 I get a reward
00:01:20.000 Did you understand that?
00:01:22.000 I'll repeat it 0.99
00:01:24.000 I'm intending to punch him 1.00
00:01:26.000 I get a sin 0.99
00:01:28.000 If I intend to say
00:01:30.000 Okay, I'm going to give him water
00:01:32.000 He's thirsty, yeah?
00:01:34.000 I intend to
00:01:36.000 But I don't do it
00:01:37.000 I get a reward
00:01:38.000 If I do do it
00:01:40.000 Don't push it away, yeah?
00:01:41.000 I get tenfold
00:01:42.000 Like more rewards
00:01:43.000 Yeah?
00:01:44.000 And this is beautiful
00:01:45.000 Because what it shows is that
00:01:46.000 When you have these urges, sister
00:01:48.000 Are you okay?
00:01:50.000 When you have these urges, sister
00:01:52.000 What it is, is that
00:01:53.000 You're saying
00:01:54.000 I have these urges
00:01:55.000 But for the sake of Allah
00:01:56.000 And my love for my Lord
00:01:58.000 I'm not going to do it
00:01:59.000 You're getting rewarded
00:02:00.000 This is a form of ibadah
00:02:01.000 Because you're abstaining from it
00:02:02.000 Because you're saying
00:02:03.000 I want to please my Lord
00:02:04.000 You actually get rewarded for that
00:02:06.000 And that's what's really beautiful
00:02:07.000 About Islam, I would personally say
00:02:08.000 Okay, so
00:02:09.000 Two questions on that
00:02:10.000 Do you consider homosexuality a choice?
00:02:12.000 And what would you say
00:02:14.000 Is the Muslim person from homosexuality? 0.99
00:02:20.000 I'll just touch one 0.99
00:02:21.000 Can I not have a mic?
00:02:22.000 I don't like the mic
00:02:23.000 Can you guys hear me?
00:02:24.000 Yeah
00:02:25.000 Can you hear me?
00:02:26.000 Pick me up, innit?
00:02:27.000 No, I don't like it
00:02:28.000 You can move away
00:02:29.000 You can move away
00:02:30.000 Can you flow it or something?
00:02:32.000 No, I don't
00:02:33.000 Let me turn it off
00:02:34.000 So
00:02:35.000 Even when it's on it, it annoys me
00:02:36.000 Yeah
00:02:37.000 So basically
00:02:38.000 The way we can answer that is
00:02:41.000 Now
00:02:43.000 We hate
00:02:44.000 The sin
00:02:46.000 But not the sinner 0.99
00:02:47.000 Yeah?
00:02:48.000 So
00:02:49.000 There are people who have these urges
00:02:51.000 Yeah?
00:02:52.000 Now in Islam 0.77
00:02:54.000 All of you guys know the Surah Fatih
00:02:56.000 Yeah?
00:02:57.000 Yeah?
00:02:58.000 Should we just quickly recite it together?
00:02:59.000 Yes?
00:03:00.000 When I say one, two, three, yeah?
00:03:02.000 Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
00:03:04.000 Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen
00:03:06.000 Arrahmanirrahim
00:03:08.000 Maliki Yawmiddin
00:03:10.000 Iyyaka na'budu
00:03:12.000 Wa iyyaka nasta'een 0.99
00:03:14.000 Ihdina sirata al-mustaqeem
00:03:17.000 Sirata al-lazina an-amta alayhim
00:03:20.000 Ghayri al-maktubi alayhim
00:03:22.000 Waladdaaleen
00:03:25.000 Now, we recite this on a daily basis, yeah?
00:03:28.000 Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'een 0.95
00:03:32.000 You alone we worship
00:03:34.000 And you alone we ask for help
00:03:35.000 Now how does this connect to this, yeah?
00:03:37.000 Even with the shahada 1.00
00:03:39.000 What you say
00:03:40.000 When you testify
00:03:41.000 There is nothing worthy of worship
00:03:43.000 Except there's negation and affirmation
00:03:45.000 Yeah?
00:03:46.000 Except Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala 0.94
00:03:48.000 As Muslims
00:03:49.000 Our main focus is Tawheed, yeah?
00:03:52.000 It's the oneness of Allah
00:03:53.000 That we affirm and we worship Allah and Allah alone, yeah?
00:03:56.000 And we recite this in our surah Fatiha
00:03:58.000 In and out, yes? Okay
00:04:00.000 Now
00:04:02.000 All of us have desires
00:04:03.000 I came to Islam
00:04:05.000 2012, 23rd of December, yeah?
00:04:07.000 I lived a life of sin
00:04:11.000 Be it partying, whatever it may be, yeah?
00:04:13.000 And I, to be honest with you, shall I tell you something?
00:04:15.000 One of the things that delayed me
00:04:17.000 In accepting Islam
00:04:18.000 Even though I knew it was the truth
00:04:20.000 Was my desires
00:04:22.000 Now, how does this relate to this, yeah?
00:04:24.000 We all have desires
00:04:25.000 There are men out there
00:04:26.000 Who want to go and sleep around
00:04:27.000 With anything that moves, yeah?
00:04:30.000 Yes, I'm sorry, there are men out there
00:04:31.000 That they are like that, yeah?
00:04:33.000 There's a man
00:04:34.000 You might have heard of an article
00:04:35.000 Who married a piano, yeah?
00:04:37.000 He actually married a piano, yes
00:04:38.000 His wife is a piano 0.99
00:04:40.000 And yeah, you think I'm joking
00:04:41.000 Go check it out, yeah?
00:04:42.000 Okay
00:04:43.000 And he seems quite happy, yeah?
00:04:44.000 Yeah?
00:04:45.000 Feminists 0.58
00:04:46.000 No, I'm not saying, you know
00:04:47.000 Yeah
00:04:50.000 Because maybe the piano don't speak back
00:04:53.000 Anyways, I'm joking
00:04:54.000 So basically
00:04:55.000 We have these desires, yeah?
00:04:57.000 Allah SWT says in the Quran
00:04:58.000 That you think
00:04:59.000 That you're going to say
00:05:00.000 I believe and not be tested, yeah?
00:05:02.000 You're going to have these desires, yeah?
00:05:04.000 But submitting your will to Allah
00:05:06.000 What that means is this
00:05:07.000 When I came to Islam
00:05:08.000 I said, look
00:05:09.000 This is what I want to do
00:05:11.000 A, B, C, D, etc, etc, etc, etc, yeah?
00:05:13.000 Then I have the truth
00:05:14.000 I believe this is the truth
00:05:15.000 I believe Allah is my Lord, yeah?
00:05:17.000 I have a choice to make
00:05:18.000 Either I follow my desires
00:05:19.000 And this is a message
00:05:20.000 To our sisters
00:05:22.000 And our brothers
00:05:23.000 Muslims
00:05:24.000 And those in humanity
00:05:25.000 Who are not Muslim 1.00
00:05:26.000 What we're saying to you is this
00:05:27.000 This is the essence of Islam
00:05:28.000 And this is my message to you
00:05:29.000 If you're watching this, yeah?
00:05:30.000 I'll make it very clear to you
00:05:32.000 We don't hate you
00:05:33.000 We don't say
00:05:34.000 Okay, you know 0.79
00:05:35.000 When I see a gay person 1.00
00:05:36.000 No
00:05:37.000 It's not like that
00:05:39.000 What it is
00:05:40.000 Is that
00:05:41.000 We believe that we should
00:05:43.000 Control those desires, yeah?
00:05:45.000 So a man who wants to go and sleep around 1.00
00:05:47.000 He's controlling his desires
00:05:49.000 Why?
00:05:50.000 For the sake of Allah SWT
00:05:51.000 He's saying
00:05:52.000 My Lord
00:05:53.000 You alone I worship
00:05:55.000 We worship
00:05:56.000 I worship
00:05:57.000 And you alone ask for help
00:05:58.000 So what it is
00:05:59.000 Going to have these desires
00:06:01.000 As a Muslim if you're
00:06:02.000 Getting these desires
00:06:03.000 Or non-Muslim 1.00
00:06:04.000 What we say is
00:06:05.000 When we speak to them
00:06:06.000 Instead of talking about these issues
00:06:08.000 Okay, were you born like this?
00:06:10.000 Did this come later in your life?
00:06:12.000 Or whatever it may be
00:06:14.000 What we're saying is
00:06:15.000 We bring them back to Tawheed 1.00
00:06:16.000 Because once they understand
00:06:18.000 The connection and the love
00:06:20.000 That you have with your Creator
00:06:21.000 That's a different kind of relationship
00:06:23.000 Nobody can understand that
00:06:24.000 Allah says in the Quran
00:06:25.000 Only in the remembrance of Lord
00:06:27.000 Do your heart find peace
00:06:28.000 And if you forget my remembrance
00:06:30.000 You'll have a depressed life
00:06:31.000 What that means is
00:06:32.000 We believe in something called the fitrah 0.99
00:06:33.000 Yeah?
00:06:34.000 That we are all programmed
00:06:36.000 That we will only find happiness
00:06:37.000 With the remembrance of Allah
00:06:39.000 The heart will ask for money
00:06:41.000 Cars, girls, this, that 0.73
00:06:42.000 You will feed it
00:06:43.000 The heart will reject it
00:06:45.000 Because the heart is saying
00:06:46.000 That's not what I need
00:06:47.000 That's why you see people
00:06:48.000 Who are chasing happiness
00:06:49.000 And be it rich people
00:06:50.000 Famous people
00:06:51.000 Someone told me
00:06:52.000 He saw Brad Pitt in Hollywood
00:06:53.000 We're going to go to Hollywood
00:06:54.000 He broke up from Angelina Jolie
00:06:56.000 Yeah?
00:06:57.000 I don't keep up to date
00:06:58.000 But that's what I heard
00:06:59.000 He was depressed
00:07:00.000 Why?
00:07:01.000 Because when you attach your heart
00:07:02.000 To something other than Allah 0.98
00:07:04.000 You will never be happy
00:07:05.000 Because your happiness
00:07:06.000 Was based on what?
00:07:07.000 If I base my happiness on this pen
00:07:08.000 Yeah?
00:07:09.000 Okay?
00:07:10.000 Once this pen leaves me
00:07:11.000 My happiness goes with it
00:07:12.000 If I attach my heart
00:07:14.000 To a female 0.97
00:07:15.000 Once that female goes 1.00
00:07:16.000 I'm going to be depressed again
00:07:17.000 But when you attach your heart
00:07:19.000 To your Lord
00:07:20.000 He will never leave you
00:07:21.000 So what we're saying to our friends
00:07:23.000 Who may have these tendencies
00:07:25.000 Is that look
00:07:26.000 It's a way of dealing with it
00:07:28.000 By seeing
00:07:29.000 That when you understand
00:07:30.000 Your relationship with your Lord
00:07:32.000 You're going to say look
00:07:33.000 I have these tendencies
00:07:34.000 I get these thoughts
00:07:35.000 I have these urges
00:07:36.000 And we have
00:07:37.000 Believe me
00:07:38.000 We have Muslims
00:07:39.000 In Islam 1.00
00:07:40.000 They are major sins 0.71
00:07:41.000 Shirk
00:07:42.000 Bida 0.81
00:07:43.000 Bida is innovation
00:07:44.000 Yeah?
00:07:45.000 And some people like to use it
00:07:46.000 Bida Bida Bida 0.90
00:07:47.000 Everyone's innovator
00:07:48.000 Some people have that sadly
00:07:49.000 Major sin
00:07:50.000 Yeah?
00:07:51.000 Major sin
00:07:52.000 Some say major sin
00:07:53.000 Is above Bida 1.00
00:07:54.000 Etc
00:07:55.000 Etc
00:07:56.000 There's a category
00:07:57.000 Yeah?
00:07:58.000 Being homosexual 0.99
00:07:59.000 Acting upon though
00:08:00.000 Upon it
00:08:01.000 Is a sin
00:08:02.000 It's a major sin in our religion
00:08:03.000 It is
00:08:04.000 Having those thoughts
00:08:05.000 And not acting upon it
00:08:07.000 Is not
00:08:08.000 Yeah?
00:08:09.000 And there are Muslims
00:08:10.000 Who are out there
00:08:11.000 And by the way
00:08:12.000 If you have these tendencies
00:08:13.000 And even if you're acting upon them
00:08:14.000 You're committing a major sin
00:08:15.000 But that does not negate the fact
00:08:16.000 That you cannot be a Muslim 1.00
00:08:18.000 You are a Muslim 0.96
00:08:19.000 Just the way 1.00
00:08:20.000 A man who goes and sleeps around 1.00
00:08:21.000 Yeah?
00:08:22.000 And doesn't give the rights off his wife
00:08:24.000 He's committing a major sin
00:08:26.000 So what we're just saying
00:08:27.000 Is that in a nutshell
00:08:28.000 Is that
00:08:29.000 Once you have that connection with your Lord
00:08:30.000 You're saying
00:08:31.000 I have these tendencies
00:08:32.000 This is what I want to do
00:08:33.000 But my love for my Lord
00:08:34.000 Is so great
00:08:35.000 And beyond that
00:08:36.000 Yeah?
00:08:37.000 That I'm going to stay away from that
00:08:39.000 And hopefully in the hereafter
00:08:41.000 My Lord
00:08:42.000 Will inshallah
00:08:43.000 Reward me
00:08:44.000 This life is a test
00:08:46.000 That's all we're asking
00:08:47.000 Now somebody can come and say
00:08:48.000 Look, I don't want to
00:08:49.000 You have every right to
00:08:50.000 If you say
00:08:51.000 I don't want to
00:08:52.000 And I want to practice it
00:08:53.000 You have every right to
00:08:54.000 My job
00:08:55.000 Hijab's job 1.00
00:08:56.000 Our team's job
00:08:57.000 Our job is to convey the message
00:08:59.000 What I just told you
00:09:00.000 I've conveyed it to you
00:09:01.000 Yeah?
00:09:02.000 You can speak
00:09:03.000 Yes?
00:09:04.000 You will testify in front of Allah
00:09:05.000 That I conveyed this to you
00:09:06.000 Yeah?
00:09:07.000 My job is done
00:09:08.000 You want to take it
00:09:09.000 Not take it due to backflips
00:09:10.000 And jump through the window
00:09:11.000 That's up to you
00:09:12.000 But my job is done
00:09:14.000 So inshallah
00:09:15.000 That will answer your question
00:09:16.000 And like I said
00:09:17.000 We need getting these tendencies
00:09:18.000 Whatever it may be
00:09:19.000 You're overcoming it
00:09:20.000 For the sake of Allah
00:09:21.000 This is the fundamental thing
00:09:23.000 Within our religion
00:09:24.000 And that's what we're asking people to do
00:09:25.000 Asking people to do
00:09:26.000 Whatever desires it might be
00:09:27.000 Not just homosexuality 0.90
00:09:28.000 Whatever it may be
00:09:29.000 Theft 0.99
00:09:30.000 Want to kill somebody 0.90
00:09:31.000 Etc 1.00
00:09:32.000 Stop those
00:09:33.000 You know, those things
00:09:34.000 For the sake of Allah
00:09:36.000 But a person has every right to say
00:09:37.000 Nope
00:09:38.000 I want to
00:09:39.000 That's your choice
00:09:40.000 I would answer it like that sister
00:09:41.000 Has it answered your question?
00:09:42.000 So why is it that it means
00:09:44.000 The sense of the story
00:09:45.000 Do you think that about
00:09:47.000 The grief that was going on at this time
00:09:49.000 And not consentful sex?
00:09:52.000 As far as I know
00:09:53.000 From my little knowledge
00:09:54.000 Hijab can touch up on that as well
00:09:55.000 Is that
00:09:56.000 It is forbidden
00:09:57.000 Like Allah has mentioned that
00:09:58.000 He has destroyed nations before
00:10:00.000 Because of this
00:10:02.000 Specific sin
00:10:03.000 And in different
00:10:04.000 Actually it's quite unique
00:10:05.000 Because in different
00:10:06.000 Destructions that Allah has 1.00
00:10:08.000 Gave upon
00:10:09.000 And Allah says
00:10:10.000 He does not destroy a nation
00:10:11.000 Until he sent a messenger
00:10:12.000 So that
00:10:13.000 Some of them
00:10:14.000 Most of the times
00:10:15.000 It was that they were
00:10:16.000 Associating partners to God
00:10:17.000 But
00:10:18.000 Funnily enough
00:10:19.000 Interestingly enough
00:10:20.000 With this specific issue
00:10:21.000 Hijab can correct me 1.00
00:10:22.000 At the time of
00:10:23.000 Nuh alayhi salam
00:10:24.000 Or Lut
00:10:25.000 No Lut alayhi salam
00:10:26.000 That
00:10:27.000 That is not mentioned much
00:10:28.000 But it's the act of the homosexuality 1.00
00:10:29.000 That is actually mentioned
00:10:30.000 Why God
00:10:31.000 Did that
00:10:32.000 But besides that
00:10:33.000 It's just that
00:10:34.000 From what I know
00:10:35.000 That was the reason
00:10:36.000 And it's a sin
00:10:38.000 It's
00:10:39.000 In a nutshell
00:10:40.000 It's a sin
00:10:41.000 That we should stay away from
00:10:42.000 And that's it
00:10:43.000 If there's anything
00:10:44.000 You want to add on
00:10:45.000 That's
00:10:46.000 Yeah
