00:00:00.000 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu brothers and sisters and dear friends, and welcome to another episode of Experiments.
00:00:20.520 Today's experiment that we wanted to do was basically go out there and find out if those people know about Ramadan,
00:00:27.120 when we put them in a certain situation about fasting and we need water or date to break our fast, are they really going to help us or are they just going to say look mate you're a terrorist or no sorry I don't want to help you, let's go and find out and inshallah see what happens.
00:00:38.240 You've got two minutes, sorry I'm stuck in a bit of a dilemma, basically I'm fasting today, I don't know if you know it's Ramadan, basically what it is is I haven't left my money and my cars in the car and basically I just need to break my fast with water or date, so I'm just wondering is there any chance you can just get me water?
00:00:52.720 Sorry I'm not a beggar, this is like, no no no I'm actually, this is no excuse, I lost my car today, are you serious?
00:00:58.720 Yeah so I'm out of cash as well, we're in the same situation, I'm sorry nah I can't get you water.
00:01:03.720 Excuse me sir, sorry, sorry to bother you, it's going to sound a bit crazy, but basically I'm fasting, I don't know if you know it's Ramadan, and basically I've got my money and my cars in the car.
00:01:13.720 I've just been in the gym, I haven't got anything on me. Is it? I just need water, I don't need money. I've got this but it's got crap in it. Sorry mate.
00:01:20.720 It's alright mate, I'm going to depreciate it. Alright, no worries mate.
00:01:23.720 Alright, excuse me, I'm in a bit of dynamo, I don't have my money on me, do you have like water or date, I can break my fast with?
00:01:30.720 You can what?
00:01:31.720 I can break my fast with, water or date.
00:01:33.720 Water or date?
00:01:35.720 No, it looks so hot.
00:01:38.720 Sorry.
00:01:40.720 A little bit of a dilemma, I'm fasting, I'm Muslim, I don't know if you can go to the internet.
00:01:47.720 I've left my money like in my friend's car and he's basically driven off and I need to break my fast, I've been fasting all day, I haven't eaten or drunk nothing.
00:01:56.720 I don't want money or nothing, I was just wondering if you have like water or something.
00:02:00.720 Oh sorry mate, I've literally...
00:02:01.720 I've got chewing gum but that's not going to be the best thing in the world.
00:02:04.720 It wouldn't be.
00:02:05.720 No.
00:02:06.720 Well basically, I just wanted to let you guys know it's a social experiment.
00:02:09.720 Oh.
00:02:10.720 So the cameras will be there.
00:02:11.720 And we're basically just, we're recording for YouTube, we're letting people know about Muslims that they fast in Ramadan.
00:02:16.720 Yeah, they're all.
00:02:17.720 Etcetera and stuff like that, so...
00:02:18.720 Sorry, excuse me, do you have a minute spell?

00:03:18.720 We're just going to have to experiment like people would help us.
00:03:20.720 They say you're not going to be terrorists or something like that.
00:03:22.720 Oh, no!
00:03:24.720 Have people actually said that to me?
00:03:26.720 No, it's always been good.

00:03:30.720 We're the first person to help us out.
00:03:32.720 We're the first person to help you out?
00:03:34.720 Yeah. Really?
00:03:36.720 Do people just say no?

00:03:40.720 Or just have no.
00:03:42.720 I would pour you a bottle of water.

00:06:12.720 I'm fasting.
00:06:13.720 Basically, what it is, I've left my money and everything in the car.
00:06:14.720 Yeah.
00:06:15.720 And I need to break my fast.
00:06:16.720 I need water or dates.
00:06:17.720 If you can just get me water or dates, is that possible?
00:06:19.720 I'm sorry, I've got money, but it's just I've left everything in the car
00:06:22.720 and I have to break my fast because water or dates.

00:06:35.720 So, it's for YouTube.
00:06:36.720 Oh, alright.
00:06:37.720 Sorry, the camera's there.
00:06:38.720 Basically, I'm really sorry to stop you.
00:06:39.720 It's just what we're doing.
00:06:40.720 We just want to see if people...
00:06:41.720 Are you aware of Ramadan?
00:06:42.720 Yeah.
00:06:43.720 Have you heard of Ramadan?
00:06:44.720 Yeah, sure.
00:06:45.720 Okay, I really appreciate it, man.
00:06:46.720 Thank you very much.
00:06:47.720 You know what it is?
00:06:48.720 We just did an experiment to find out what people helped.
00:06:49.720 Do they know about Ramadan?
00:06:50.720 You know, I'm fasting.
00:06:51.720 It's Ramadan at the moment.
00:06:53.720 Is there any way that you could give me some water or something so I could break my fast?
00:06:57.720 Sorry?
00:06:58.720 Any water?
00:06:59.720 Water.
00:07:00.720 We have water.
00:07:01.720 Yeah.
00:07:02.720 Do you know about Ramadan?
00:07:03.720 Yes.
00:07:04.720 Yeah, we're fasting at the moment.
00:07:05.720 That's all right.
00:07:06.720 Thank you so much.
00:07:07.720 Do you want to keep you?
00:07:09.720 You know what?
00:07:10.720 No, that's fine.
00:07:11.720 It's fine.
00:07:12.720 The reason that we do this, we're just going to ask, we're just doing a social experiment.
00:07:15.720 We just want to see who knows about Ramadan and about Islam and what we're doing.
00:07:18.720 So yeah, we actually break fast at half an hour.
00:07:21.720 So yeah, doing a social experiment, I just thought I'd ask if he would be generous and
00:07:26.720 thank you very much.
00:07:27.720 I'm fasting.
00:07:28.720 As you know, it's my, I don't know if you know it's my madame.
00:07:30.720 Yeah, basically what it is, I've left my money and my card in my car and I need to break
00:07:34.720 my fast with water or this.
00:07:35.720 I'm just wondering, can you get me water or if you just have a pound, I'll give it back
00:07:38.720 to you.
00:07:39.720 Yeah, I'm really sorry.
00:07:40.720 It's just, I'm just stuck and I'm not coming around here.
00:07:42.720 It's all right.
00:07:43.720 Don't worry.
00:07:44.720 Thank you very much.
00:07:45.720 I really appreciate it.
00:07:46.720 You better not be lying.
00:07:48.720 No, no, no, no.
00:07:49.720 I've got an iPhone.
00:07:50.720 I don't need a pound.
00:07:51.720 Yeah.
00:07:52.720 And by the way, you can stop there.
00:07:54.720 It was a social experiment.
00:07:55.720 Really?
00:07:56.720 Yes.
00:07:57.720 Sorry about that.
00:07:58.720 The camera's there.
00:07:59.720 What?
00:08:00.720 Basically what we're doing, we just want to know if people know about Ramadan.
00:08:03.720 Yeah.
00:08:04.720 Are they going to help?
00:08:05.720 Are they just going to be like, no.
00:08:06.720 So that's why we were just doing it.
00:08:07.720 So brothers and sisters, as you saw for yourself, the experiment that took place, a lot of people
00:08:12.720 know about Islam.
00:08:13.720 A lot of people know about Ramadan, about fasting.
00:08:15.720 They know so much so that when we approached certain people, we were asking about, you
00:08:19.720 know, if you can get me a water or a date.
00:08:22.720 Some of them said, oh, it's not even time for you to break the fast yet.
00:08:24.720 And yeah, I have heard about Ramadan and many other stuff.
00:08:27.720 So what that shows us is that it's a narration of the Prophet that Islam will enter every household. 0.99
00:08:33.720 So we can see from that clearly that people actually hear about it and they know about
00:08:36.720 it.
00:08:37.720 So the fact that they wanted to help us, it shows to you that, you know, as you know, when
00:08:43.720 we look at the media, a lot of people, it's that they hate Islam and they don't want Islam
00:08:46.720 to be there.
00:08:47.720 But when we're out there and we speak to people and we saw what kind of reaction they
00:08:52.720 gave, a lot of them really were helpful.
00:08:54.720 Like 90% of people were really helpful.
00:08:56.720 We did get a bit of odd looks, but majority of the time people wanted to help us, gave
00:09:00.720 their water.
00:09:01.720 Some, some guy even had like a protein shake.
00:09:03.720 He was like, I would have give you this.
00:09:04.720 So it shows that people are kind and this, this, this bigotry that the media portrays.
00:09:09.720 I truly believe that it's really different out there than what the media portrays.
00:09:14.720 So we have learned a lesson from this that people do know about Ramadan and it should 1.00
00:09:17.720 encourage us to give dawah because there's a lot of people that know about Islam.
00:09:21.720 So if you're a Muslim and you're watching this, please, if you have a neighbor or a work
00:09:25.720 colleague, tell them about Islam.
00:09:27.720 Tell them what Ramadan is really about because you know, it's not just about abstaining from
00:09:31.720 food.
00:09:32.720 You know, we don't, we don't, you know, we don't have Ramadan just to say, you know, I'm
00:09:35.720 going to stay away from food and drink.
00:09:37.720 No, it's to, you know, purify yourself, stay away from sins, etc.
00:09:41.720 So if you're a non-Muslim, I hope you've benefited from this video.
00:09:44.720 If you want to know more about Islam, please do.
00:09:46.720 You can come and ask me on Facebook yourself or we'll have a link here, inshaAllah, which
