Ali Dawah - MUSLIM TALKS TO JOKER IN NEW YORK!!

00:00:00.000 One thing I'll leave you with is give the Quran a chance

00:00:03.500 Try to read it, you know, ask God for guidance. If you ask God for guidance, he will guide you

00:00:08.760 Okay, this is not a good idea because we were talking about the religion

00:00:14.000 asking me for this on your face

00:00:30.000 What are you, are you religious? You know, sometimes

00:00:45.000 Especially, it looks like you've been through a lot of torture, so you must, you must be very spiritual

00:00:49.000 No, when you believe in the chaos, sometimes you believe in something

00:00:52.000 You gotta believe every single day in something

00:00:55.000 If you don't believe in yourself, for example, you're not gonna get anything in your life

00:01:00.000 Okay, alright

00:01:01.000 So do you believe in a higher intelligence?

00:01:03.000 Yeah, I do

00:01:04.000 You believe in God, yeah?

00:01:05.000 Yeah

00:01:06.000 Okay, but, do you believe

00:01:09.000 Tell me, give me like a little description of God

00:01:12.000 Do you believe he's a man, do you believe

00:01:15.000 What is he to?

00:01:16.000 Energy

00:01:18.000 Okay, okay

00:01:19.000 So you believe in God, but you believe his energy

00:01:22.000 Yeah

00:01:23.000 Okay, so what do you mean by energy?

00:01:25.000 Something more powerful than anyone, yeah

00:01:27.000 Okay, yes, he is more powerful, but when you say energy, what do you mean?

00:01:32.000 He knows, he moves everything

00:01:34.000 Without him

00:01:35.000 He knows everything

00:01:37.000 Without him

00:01:39.000 Without him, yeah

00:01:40.000 Nothing moves

00:01:41.000 Nothing lives

00:01:42.000 Nothing moves

00:01:43.000 Exactly

00:01:44.000 It's good, you got Tawheed 0.99

00:01:45.000 This is, this is, this is, we're Muslims, yeah?

00:01:46.000 Yeah

00:01:47.000 Yeah

00:01:48.000 We believe in Tawheed 0.53

00:01:49.000 So that's the oneness of God, yeah?

00:01:50.000 Okay, so we don't believe God can be a man

00:01:52.000 This is not a coincidence

00:01:53.000 Right now, this second

00:01:54.000 Yes

00:01:55.000 It's not a coincidence

00:01:56.000 It's not a coincidence

00:01:57.000 It's a plane

00:01:58.000 Good, Qadr 0.96

00:01:59.000 You believe in Qadr as well, that's good 1.00

00:02:00.000 So you believe, you don't believe this is a coincidence, yeah?

00:02:02.000 Mm-hmm

00:02:03.000 So you believe that God is all-knowing, all-powerful

00:02:06.000 Do you believe that you have a purpose?

00:02:08.000 Exactly

00:02:09.000 Every single one has a purpose

00:02:11.000 What's, what's, what's your purpose?

00:02:14.000 Always, every single day, you are, you know, on the way and you're, step by step, you, you have to take a look and you don't know exactly where you're gonna go

00:02:25.000 Okay

00:02:26.000 But you're going somewhere

00:02:27.000 Okay

00:02:28.000 So, do you think, as human beings, if there is a higher intelligence, we should be grateful to him? Maybe we should worship him?

00:02:38.000 I'm trying to get that

00:02:41.000 Are you, like, do you, do you have a connection with God?

00:02:44.000 Yeah, of course

00:02:45.000 Every single day I pray, I may, I may have meditation

00:02:49.000 You do meditation and you pray?

00:02:50.000 Yeah, exactly

00:02:51.000 Okay, do you, do you do meditation for, like, for religious reasons, or it's just, you know, to get your mind and body straight?

00:02:57.000 Both

00:02:58.000 Both ways

00:02:59.000 So, when you meditate, what kind of communication do you have with God Almighty?

00:03:04.000 Oh, it's, ah, sometimes you say, ah, you got a step, right? The first step, say, thanks, ah, to be thankful

00:03:12.000 To be thankful

00:03:13.000 Okay, that's good, that's good, that's good

00:03:14.000 Second thing is, ah, ah, say I'm sorry for my mistakes because we are human

00:03:19.000 Are you sure you're not a Muslim? That's, that's, that's the trace of a Muslim 1.00

00:03:22.000 And the third one is, ah, you need something? Please, God, I'm not, I am not nothing without you

00:03:27.000 You know my

00:03:28.000 That's, that's, that's really powerful

00:03:29.000 So, so

00:03:30.000 I'm not nothing without you

00:03:31.000 Say that again, say that again

00:03:32.000 The last part, say that again

00:03:33.000 I am not nothing without you

00:03:35.000 I am nothing without you

00:03:36.000 You know what, those are my necessities

00:03:39.000 And you know what's my necessities?

00:03:41.000 Okay

00:03:42.000 So, please help me, do it with me to get my

00:03:46.000 Exactly, this is one of the things, ah, Jesus, peace be upon him, said in the Quran

00:03:50.000 Peace be upon him

00:03:51.000 When God Almighty asked him, he said, did you ask you and your

00:03:53.000 You know, some Christians believe Jesus as God and his mother

00:03:56.000 He said, did you tell them that, um, you and your mother are deities beside me?

00:04:01.000 He said, God, oh God, oh Allah, you know what's inside me, I don't know what's inside you

00:04:06.000 So, you've got a lot of traits about, like, Islam 1.00

00:04:09.000 So, for example, when we communicate with God Almighty, we pray five times a day, yeah?

00:04:13.000 Alright

00:04:14.000 By the way, you've got a very scary look

00:04:15.000 Can you look into the camera and just scare these

00:04:16.000 Cause this one might go viral, look at me

00:04:18.000 That's scary, I'm trying to talk to him, but I'm being honest, my concentration is a bit like

00:04:21.000 So, yeah

00:04:22.000 Anybody in there?

00:04:24.000 Alright

00:04:25.000 Yeah, so, sorry, I forgot to ask for your name though, by the way

00:04:27.000 Attention, alright, pay attention

00:04:28.000 Yeah, I forgot to ask your name, my name's Ali, by the way

00:04:30.000 Ali

00:04:31.000 Yeah, nice to meet you

00:04:32.000 What's your name?

00:04:33.000 Like Muhammad Ali

00:04:34.000 Yeah, Muhammad Ali

00:04:35.000 Yeah

00:04:37.000 Alright, same combination

00:04:38.000 Yeah, so basically, when we pray, we say, like,

00:04:42.000 عَوْضُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ

00:04:44.000 That means we seek refuge from the Satan, from the devil

00:04:49.000 And we seek refuge in Allah from the cursed Satan, yeah?

00:04:53.000 Right

00:04:54.000 Yeah, we say عَوْضُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ

00:04:56.000 بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَانِ الرَّحِيمِ

00:04:58.000 Allah, the most merciful, the very merciful, yeah?

00:05:01.000 And then we say,

00:05:02.000 الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

00:05:03.000 All praises belong to the Lord of the whole world, yeah?

00:05:08.000 Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen

00:05:09.000 Ar-Rahmanir Raheem, yeah?

00:05:11.000 The merciful, the very merciful

00:05:14.000 Rahmanir Raheem

00:05:16.000 Maliki Yawmideen 0.79

00:05:18.000 The owner of the Day of Judgment, yeah?

00:05:20.000 So we believe he's the owner of the Day of Judgment

00:05:22.000 Do you believe in the Day of Judgment?

00:05:23.000 That one day we're going to be questioned by God?

00:05:24.000 Are you going to be questioned by God?

00:05:25.000 Exactly, somewhere, someday you're going to, you know, you're going to go to the next life

00:05:31.000 He's going to ask you what you did, he's not going to ask you, he's going to tell you what you did for the humans

00:05:39.000 So what did you do?

00:05:40.000 For the humans

00:05:41.000 Okay

00:05:42.000 In general

00:05:43.000 The other you did, you know, for being a better person, better father, better...

00:05:49.000 Okay, that's good

00:05:50.000 So we say Maliki Yawmideen 1.00

00:05:51.000 So you are the owner of the Day of Judgment

00:05:53.000 Iyyaka na'abudu wa iyyaka nasta'een 0.88

00:05:57.000 You alone we worship

00:05:59.000 And you alone we ask for help

00:06:01.000 So remember when you said you were doing meditation

00:06:03.000 You said, he's the one that knows what I need

00:06:05.000 And he's the one you're asking for help, yeah?

00:06:07.000 So it's Iyyaka na'abudu wa iyyaka nasta'een

00:06:10.000 Ihdina as-sirat al-mustakim

00:06:12.000 Guide us to the straight path, yeah?

00:06:15.000 Guide us to the straight path

00:06:17.000 Ihdina as-sirat al-mustakim

00:06:18.000 As-sirat al-lazina an-amta alayhim ghayri al-maktoubi alayhim wala al-daaleen

00:06:24.000 Guide us to the straight path

00:06:25.000 The path of those you've bestowed your blessing on

00:06:28.000 Not of those who have earned your anger

00:06:30.000 Or those who have gone astray, yeah?

00:06:32.000 So basically, this is what we ask

00:06:34.000 So we ask God Almighty to make us among those who worship Him and Him alone

00:06:38.000 Yeah

00:06:39.000 I got a paparazzi right there

00:06:41.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, you need to charge them, this is not free

00:06:43.000 Have you, have you, have you, so you believe in God Almighty?

00:06:47.000 You believe in God Almighty, yeah?

00:06:49.000 You don't believe He's a human?

00:06:50.000 Just give me one second

00:06:51.000 Okay, no problem

00:06:52.000 Hey guys, I'm ganando dinero, okay?

00:06:54.000 No nama estoy amando 1.00

00:06:56.000 Yeah, so, you believe in God

00:06:59.000 Do you believe, you don't believe God is like a man, yeah?

00:07:02.000 You don't believe He's like a man?

00:07:04.000 Do you believe God can be a man?

00:07:05.000 Like a man?

00:07:06.000 Do you think God can become a man?

00:07:08.000 It's something bigger than the universe

00:07:10.000 It's something bigger than the, you know, all the galaxies

00:07:12.000 He created everything

00:07:14.000 Yeah, so He can't be in His creation

00:07:16.000 Exactly

00:07:17.000 You've got Tamquid, the oneness

00:07:19.000 So, have you read the Quran before?

00:07:21.000 No, no, no

00:07:22.000 Because I got a religion

00:07:24.000 What's your religion?

00:07:26.000 I'm a Catholic

00:07:27.000 You're Catholic? 0.74

00:07:28.000 Yeah, Catholic 0.89

00:07:29.000 Oh, okay, alright

00:07:30.000 I respect every single, you know, religion

00:07:33.000 Yeah

00:07:34.000 And I guess those are different points of views

00:07:36.000 Yeah

00:07:37.000 I'm not saying mine is correct, yours is correct

00:07:39.000 Yeah

00:07:40.000 It's, I guess the only common sense that every single religion has to get is

00:07:47.000 Be good with yourself and be good with the world

00:07:50.000 Okay, yeah

00:07:51.000 And do the best that you can do for you and for the, for around all the, all the people that is around you

00:07:57.000 Okay, so what's your take on Mary, the mother of Jesus? That you see her as a divine being? That you worship to her?

00:08:05.000 To her?

00:08:06.000 No, no divine, it's no divine

00:08:07.000 Mother, Marie

00:08:08.000 Yeah, Maria

00:08:09.000 Maria

00:08:10.000 No, she's the mother of God 0.98

00:08:12.000 She's the mother of God 1.00

00:08:13.000 But it's just the body

00:08:15.000 Okay

00:08:16.000 She was just the body 0.98

00:08:18.000 Okay

00:08:19.000 Right, so I believe in that because my Catholic religion is, they teach you that and I believe in that

00:08:24.000 Okay, so

00:08:25.000 Maybe it's grown, maybe the history, they change it, but that's what I think, that's what I, you know

00:08:32.000 I respect that, but logically, do you think it makes sense that God has a mother?

00:08:37.000 Like, do you, like, I respect, obviously you can be a Catholic, I'm just trying to question

00:08:41.000 Do you remember in the Catholic, in Catholic?

00:08:43.000 Yes

00:08:44.000 That's Godfather, Godson, and the Holy Spirit

00:08:47.000 God

00:08:48.000 Yes

00:08:49.000 Right, those are three in one

00:08:50.000 Yes

00:08:51.000 Every, like I told you, every single religion is similar, different, a big difference 1.00

00:08:59.000 Yeah

00:09:00.000 For example, the Christians, they don't believe in Maria, right? 0.53

00:09:06.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

00:09:07.000 They don't believe in other saints

00:09:09.000 Yes

00:09:10.000 Right, so they, you know, it's whatever

00:09:14.000 Okay, so, why don't you give the Quran a chance, like, why don't you read it one day, you know?

00:09:20.000 Because at the end of the day, you know, you're here for, you got one life

00:09:24.000 Eventually, God's going to ask you, there is a lot of religions, okay, but one must be the truth 1.00

00:09:29.000 There must be one, that is the truth

00:09:31.000 And as Muslims, we believe in Jesus, we believe in His miraculous birth

00:09:35.000 We believe in His mother

00:09:36.000 There's a whole chapter in the Quran called Surah Maryam

00:09:40.000 Mary, yeah?

00:09:41.000 Yeah, so the issue is, what we're just saying is, is that you should look into it because God's going to question you and say, look, this was the right path, whatever it may be, and you should look into it

00:09:50.000 So I would personally say to you, obviously, I know you're working, I don't want to hold you too much

00:09:53.000 I don't know

00:09:54.000 I don't like this, but, you know, at the end, I guess, at the end, I guess, he don't got a religion

00:10:05.000 He got just, like, he don't say which one is the correct one, because everyone is going to say this is the correct one

00:10:13.000 But there must be one truth

00:10:15.000 The judge, the Catholics, everyone says this is the correct way 1.00

00:10:19.000 Yes, but, everyone can say that, but there must be one that must be the truth

00:10:23.000 Exactly

00:10:24.000 Like with me, I looked into Christianity, I looked into Judaism, I became a Muslim, five, six years ago, yeah?

00:10:29.000 So, I did look into a variety of religions

00:10:31.000 One thing I'll leave you with is, give the Quran a chance

00:10:34.000 Try to read it, you know, ask God for guidance

00:10:37.000 If you ask God for guidance, He will guide you, you know?

00:10:40.000 Is there anything else you want to ask me?

00:10:43.000 Anything else you want to ask me?

00:10:45.000 I see, yeah?

00:10:46.000 Thank you very much, I really appreciate it

00:10:47.000 I hope God guides you and myself as well

00:10:49.000 Can you do me a favour and just do what you did with that knife?

00:10:52.000 And we'll take a little picture, yeah?

00:10:54.000 Okay

00:10:55.000 This is not a good idea, because we're talking about a religion 1.00

00:10:59.000 And now, you're asking me to put this on your face!
