00:00:00.000 Oh, man, not this bloody Halloween.
00:00:05.000 A'udhu Billah!
00:00:07.000 Trick or treat!
00:00:09.000 Where are you from?
00:00:11.000 The land of the demons.
00:00:13.000 Funny. Are you Muslim?
00:00:15.000 Yeah.
00:00:16.000 Come here, let me tell you about...
00:00:18.000 Yeah, yeah, come, I'm going to show you candy.
00:00:19.000 Yeah?
00:00:20.000 I'm going to give you some real cheese.
00:00:21.000 Come here, let me tell you about the real Muslim Halloween.
00:00:22.000 Come here.
00:00:23.000 Get inside you.
00:00:24.000 Oh, okay.
00:00:25.000 Okay, guys, so basically I've got my little friend inside.
00:00:29.000 And at the end of the video you will see exactly how that went
00:00:33.000 as a Muslim man trying to celebrate Halloween.
00:00:37.000 We'll find out after.
00:00:41.000 Jokes aside, brothers and sisters.
00:00:43.000 Me, myself, before I came to Islam, when I was young,
00:00:45.000 I used to celebrate Halloween, yes.
00:00:47.000 I used to make a lot of good money, actually, to be honest.
00:00:49.000 I used to go and knock in from door to door, trick or treat.
00:00:51.000 I didn't even understand what I was saying.
00:00:53.000 I don't even know what the hell it means.
00:00:55.000 All I know was, fam, give me chocolate, biscuits, or some money.
00:00:58.000 Now, I thought to myself, you know what?
00:01:00.000 If you think about it.
00:01:02.000 Now, the whole act within itself is haram.
00:01:05.000 The whole celebration itself.
00:01:06.000 I'm not going to go down the history, what it is, blah, blah, blah.
00:01:08.000 Forget all of that.
00:01:09.000 I want you guys to reflect with what I'm about to tell you guys.
00:01:12.000 Halloween is something that's celebrated once a year,
00:01:15.000 around October, end of October.
00:01:17.000 People come to your door, knock on your door.
00:01:19.000 Some of them throw eggs.
00:01:20.000 Some of them don't.
00:01:21.000 You go, and if you have no clue, you open the door and see a horrifying face,
00:01:27.000 it's going to take you a bit back.
00:01:28.000 Like, what the hell?
00:01:29.000 A'udhu billahi min shaytana rajeem.
00:01:30.000 Or like what hijab says.
00:01:32.000 What the hell is this?
00:01:33.000 A'udhu billahi.
00:01:34.000 Some may react, and you'll see some videos, prank videos, where they hit the person.
00:01:38.000 Why? Because you're in an instant shock.
00:01:40.000 It's something that you're not used to.
00:01:41.000 It's dark, it's already scary.
00:01:43.000 People are scared of dark.
00:01:44.000 And you're just going to react and be scared.
00:01:46.000 You know?
00:01:47.000 Now, imagine brothers and sisters.
00:01:50.000 Just imagine.
00:01:52.000 Now, in that specific moment, you have a choice of closing the door,
00:01:55.000 being scared, reacting, screaming, whatever it may be.
00:01:58.000 But yeah?
00:01:59.000 Imagine brothers and sisters.
00:02:01.000 Every single one of us are going to enter the grave.
00:02:05.000 In this grave, the Halloween, you know, just putting it in perspective,
00:02:10.000 like, I will be like, there's no Halloween in the grave.
00:02:13.000 But the Halloween that you're talking about,
00:02:15.000 is going to be more terrifying.
00:02:19.000 You know, inshaAllah, for the believer, it's not going to.
00:02:22.000 Yeah?
00:02:23.000 But even for the believer, for that instant moment,
00:02:24.000 obviously you're going to be in a...
00:02:25.000 You don't know what's going on, you've passed away.
00:02:27.000 You're in your grave.
00:02:28.000 And who's going to come and visit you?
00:02:30.000 Munkar and Nakeer.
00:02:32.000 They are going to come and the Prophet has told us
00:02:35.000 that one's going to be black and the other one is going to be blue.
00:02:39.000 That's what the color is going to be.
00:02:41.000 They're going to come.
00:02:42.000 And you see, with Allah's creation, these angels, yes?
00:02:46.000 They do as they are told.
00:02:48.000 They're not going to come to you like, you know,
00:02:50.000 Oh, hi, hello, it's not straight.
00:02:53.000 Who is your Lord?
00:02:56.000 What is your religion?
00:02:58.000 And who is your Prophet?
00:03:00.000 That's it.
00:03:01.000 And we are told that when they come and ask a monarch,
00:03:06.000 somebody who died in disbelief,
00:03:08.000 somebody who heard the message of Islam and died in disbelief,
00:03:12.000 they're going to come and ask him,
00:03:15.000 Who was this man that was sent?
00:03:18.000 And he's going to say, I heard, the monarch is going to say,
00:03:22.000 the hypocrite, I heard this and this, people will say this and this about him.
00:03:25.000 Your grave is going to be so tightened that your rib cages are going to collapse on each other.
00:03:33.000 And from there onwards, Allah knows the severe punishment that's going to follow.
00:03:39.000 If you are a believer, they're going to ask you.
00:03:42.000 And when you answer those questions, they're going to expand your grave.
00:03:46.000 Alhamdulillah, there are different narrations of different things that's going to happen in the grave.
00:03:51.000 Brothers and sisters, when are we going to be ready?
00:03:56.000 When are we going to say, you know what, enough is enough.
00:03:59.000 You know, we get scared of little things, the dark, scary movies, whatever it may be.
00:04:04.000 You watch a scary movie, which is, I believe you should not even watch it.
00:04:07.000 It sticks in your head that you think that little creature that you saw there is going to come out from somewhere,
00:04:11.000 and you live in constant fear.
00:04:13.000 What about when Allah is telling us,
00:04:16.000 Munkar and Nakir?
00:04:18.000 Why do we not prepare ourselves?
00:04:21.000 Why do we not prepare ourselves like we're going to live in this world forever?
00:04:25.000 If I told you guys, you are going to go to Australia,
00:04:30.000 and you have to do transit, stop at Dubai.
00:04:33.000 When you're at Dubai, are you going to say to yourself,
00:04:35.000 okay, you know, let me start a business here, let me get married here, let me go do this and this.
00:04:38.000 Oh, you're going to say I'm here for three hours maximum, let's say one day.
00:04:41.000 You're not going to do nothing.
00:04:42.000 Why?
00:04:43.000 Because you know that is not your final destination.
00:04:45.000 This life is exactly like that.
00:04:47.000 And brothers and sisters, this is very, very key.
00:04:50.000 One of the scholars said, they used to ask,
00:04:52.000 why are you always around the graves?
00:04:54.000 And you don't come and sit with us.
00:04:56.000 He said, because when I sit with you guys,
00:04:58.000 all you do is talk about other people.
00:05:00.000 And probably when I leave you, you backbite me.
00:05:02.000 And you remind me of this dunya.
00:05:04.000 You only remind me about the dunya.
00:05:06.000 When I visit the graves, they do not talk about other people.
00:05:10.000 Neither do they backbite me.
00:05:11.000 And they remind me of the hereafter.
00:05:13.000 Allahu Akbar, SubhanAllah.
00:05:15.000 And Allah says in the Quran,
00:05:17.000 And Allah SubhanAllah says,
00:05:30.000 you are busy with the worldly affairs and racing with one another to attain this.
00:05:35.000 Until you reach the graves.
00:05:37.000 Because when you reach the graves, that death that you see,
00:05:41.000 is the destroyer of all pleasures.
00:05:43.000 Yeah? You know that.
00:05:45.000 And Allah says, and when you reach the graves,
00:05:48.000 know, know, then you are going to know.
00:05:52.000 And Allah repeats again, know, you are surely going to know.
00:05:57.000 Brothers and sisters, what are we waiting for?
00:06:02.000 That day, the Halloween that you're scared of, you know,
00:06:05.000 or, you know, you're out there, you might see something, etc.
00:06:08.000 Forget this.
00:06:09.000 Forget this.
00:06:10.000 Wallahi wa kusum billah, this is nothing.
00:06:12.000 This is nothing for the horrors that are waiting.
00:06:14.000 And do not forget.
00:06:15.000 I don't want to make this video depressing.
00:06:17.000 And you know, no.
00:06:18.000 Alhamdulillah.
00:06:19.000 Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala is the most merciful.
00:06:21.000 The very merciful.
00:06:22.000 The one who forgives.
00:06:23.000 And wallahi, he wants Jannah al-Fardawus al-A'la.
00:06:26.000 For every single one of you guys.
00:06:28.000 The point and the question needs to be asked here is,
00:06:30.000 do you want that for yourself?
00:06:32.000 Indeed, Shaytan is an enemy and take him as an enemy.
00:06:36.000 Do not be distracted with this and that.
00:06:38.000 Be firm in your religion.
00:06:40.000 And always, always have this on your tongue.
00:06:45.000 رَدِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبَّةً وَبِالإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم النبيًّا
00:06:51.000 The Prophet ﷺ would say this.
00:06:52.000 And he says in his hadith,
00:06:54.000 that anyone that says this,
00:06:56.000 that I am pleased with Allah as my Lord,
00:06:58.000 and with Islam as my deen,
00:07:00.000 and the Prophet ﷺ as my messenger,
00:07:02.000 Allah will be enough for him,
00:07:07.000 or something along those lines,
00:07:08.000 in the hereafter.
00:07:09.000 Brothers and sisters,
00:07:10.000 we believe in a jinn,
00:07:12.000 a world of the unseen.
00:07:13.000 And the jinn and shayateen are constant attack.
00:07:15.000 They constantly attack you.
00:07:17.000 I advise you guys to do your adhqad in the morning and in the evening.
00:07:20.000 All the time.
00:07:21.000 Something that I got affected by two years ago,
00:07:24.000 and I went through.
00:07:26.000 SubhanAllah, I cannot explain to you.
00:07:28.000 Adhqad is the key thing.
00:07:30.000 Have it on your tongue.
00:07:32.000 Something that's light,
00:07:33.000 but heavy on the day of judgment.
00:07:35.000 And I leave you with that brothers and sisters.
00:07:36.000 Hope you guys have benefited inshaAllah,
00:07:37.000 and hope that didn't really scare you guys.
00:07:39.000 May Allah bless you guys.
00:07:40.000 Here is how it went.
00:07:41.000 Our discussion on a lighter note,
00:07:43.000 with our dear friend.
00:07:45.000 Watch that inshaAllah,
00:07:46.000 and do not forget,
00:07:47.000 your Lord is the most forgiving,
00:07:48.000 the most merciful.
00:07:49.000 Strive and struggle,
00:07:51.000 for the Saratul Mustaqeem.
00:07:53.000 Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen.
00:07:56.000 And like we say in Surah Fatihah,
00:07:59.000 Iyyaa Kana,
00:08:00.000 Budwa Iyyaa Kana Stain.
00:08:01.000 You alone we worship,
00:08:03.000 and you alone we ask for help.
00:08:05.000 Enjoy the video.
00:08:07.000 Don't celebrate Halloween again.

00:08:18.000 There's nothing wrong.
00:08:19.000 I'm sure God doesn't want me not to have sweets.
00:08:22.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:23.000 I don't believe in the literal translation of Halloween.
00:08:26.000 It's just for fun, mate.
00:08:27.000 Okay, okay.
