00:01:56.220 Whoa he said 50% off
00:01:58.800 Where
00:01:59.100 Huh
00:02:00.480 Oh
00:02:00.920 Is that
00:02:01.900 See
00:02:02.140 He's talking about Asian
00:02:02.920 He's looking at this
00:02:03.600 He knows
00:02:04.100 That's racist
00:02:06.420 Oh he did that on purpose
00:02:10.580 Did he
00:02:11.280 What
00:02:11.600 Yeah
00:02:14.920 Purpose
00:02:15.800 Nah that's not right
00:02:30.080 Got bottee boy
00:02:31.780 I thought
00:02:33.560 that was only used in the UK.
00:02:35.060 You know that kind of...
00:02:36.300 LG slang.
00:02:41.180 Oh, oh, damn.
00:03:03.560 That's harassment, bro.
00:03:06.340 You know what would be funny if he punched him
00:03:07.980 just out of the blue?
00:03:09.740 What up, dog bang?
00:03:11.780 Nah, that's crazy.
00:03:12.620 I would never have thought that's what would happen.
00:03:14.520 Bro, bro, that's done to a male or female, bro.
00:03:17.780 Like, it's harassment.
00:03:18.800 Disgusting.
00:03:22.200 50 plus instances of verbal...
00:03:24.240 Within three hours.
00:03:26.280 It's devastating.
00:03:28.820 Gay and lesbian teens are two to three times more likely
00:03:31.200 to commit teen suicide.
00:03:32.960 Okay.
00:03:33.440 That's actually crazy.
00:03:34.420 Okay, before we wanted to...
00:03:35.860 Quickly, yeah?
00:03:37.500 What I see from this,
00:03:39.000 and I think a lot of you guys should understand from that as well,
00:03:41.600 is sadly, in today's time,
00:03:42.900 it's made out to see, like, Muslims...
00:03:46.140 You know, it's like Muslims are only homophobic
00:03:48.800 and they hate homosexuals
00:03:50.220 and this narrative is pushed out there.
00:03:52.260 This is an American country.
00:03:53.740 This is a country where freedom of expression
00:03:55.360 or wherever you want to do it, you can do it.
00:03:56.760 He's walking down the street of New York City.
00:03:58.800 New York City's vibrant, multicultural,
00:04:00.780 and look at the harassment he's getting, yeah?
00:04:04.260 Nobody deserves to be harassed in that way.
00:04:07.040 No, that is actually...
00:04:08.760 That's kind of sad, you know?
00:04:09.960 Yeah.
00:04:10.140 It's really sad because
00:04:11.160 no one wants to feel like that.
00:04:12.960 So for them to be struggling with something like that
00:04:15.020 in a homophobic society,
00:04:18.160 to be very honest with you,
00:04:19.680 it must be hard for them on a day-to-day.
00:04:21.660 Let's watch our next video, yeah?
00:04:22.860 Because then we're going to get an understanding
00:04:25.100 of this whole perception of us Muslims
00:04:28.160 towards homosexuals, etc.
00:04:30.400 I've yet to see a gay individual,
00:04:32.840 homosexual individual,
00:04:34.280 walk down the street like that.
00:04:36.040 I think that was...
00:04:37.260 Yeah, that was a bit exaggerated.
00:04:38.500 Yeah.
00:04:38.760 Yeah, it was a bit exaggerated.
00:04:39.740 Oh, he just...
00:04:53.080 Oh, did you guess that?
00:04:54.860 Did you guess that?
00:04:55.700 He just said to him,
00:04:57.120 why would you go and act upon this?
00:04:59.420 And he just said,
00:05:00.040 but I'm not.
00:05:01.080 So they went there with the assumption
00:05:03.260 that he acts upon being a homosexual.
00:05:05.600 Okay, so the guy in the middle,
00:05:07.440 white, he's a Muslim revert also.
00:05:09.220 His name is Paul.
00:05:10.060 Yeah.
00:05:10.420 The person who's struggling with...
00:05:12.080 And then you've got two new Muslim reverts,
00:05:14.720 which we're going to cover the face,
00:05:15.680 we're not going to show them,
00:05:16.740 how they're reacting,
00:05:18.120 how they're treating him.
00:05:27.520 Yeah, that's a bit of a flawed point,
00:05:29.340 saying how can you be gay
00:05:30.680 if you don't act upon it,
00:05:31.520 because before I got married,
00:05:33.300 and before I was...
00:05:34.680 Obviously, when you get married,
00:05:36.060 you're sexually active,
00:05:36.960 to be very blunt.
00:05:38.520 I was straight.
00:05:39.860 Yes.
00:05:40.100 Now, just because I wasn't acting
00:05:41.520 and sleeping around
00:05:42.640 and having sex with people...
00:05:44.180 Doesn't mean you're not straight.
00:05:45.560 Yeah, exactly.
00:05:46.240 You're a straight man
00:05:46.680 with straight feelings
00:05:47.360 and not act on them.
00:05:48.280 Well, but it's the same question to you.
00:05:49.960 Exactly.
00:05:50.200 Because you are a good Muslim
00:05:51.720 and you're following God's law.
00:05:53.300 Same way for me,
00:05:54.420 we all follow the same law
00:05:55.660 called the Ahab al-Sharia,
00:05:57.060 which says that sex is for
00:05:58.500 heterosexual marriage alone.
00:06:00.360 You don't break that law.
00:06:01.700 I break other laws, by the way,
00:06:02.920 which I'm not going to go into.
00:06:03.600 I'm not a good Muslim,
00:06:04.820 but this just happens to be
00:06:05.900 one law, I don't break.
00:06:07.080 It's funny, that, isn't it?
00:06:07.760 We all commit sins.
00:06:09.280 And Mohammed, peace upon him,
00:06:11.200 said the best of those who sin
00:06:13.200 are those who repent.
00:06:14.680 Okay.
00:06:15.160 Of those sexual acts.
00:06:16.700 Looking at a man in that way,
00:06:18.520 is that a sin?
00:06:19.040 He's asking me a question.
00:06:20.140 That's a good question.
00:06:21.100 Brother, let me ask...
00:06:21.820 And stick on that point.
00:06:22.660 Let me ask this question.
00:06:23.820 Homosexual acts are prohibited
00:06:25.500 in the Torah,
00:06:26.780 they're prohibited in the Injil,
00:06:28.380 they're prohibited in the Quran
00:06:29.360 and the Sunnah.
00:06:30.500 The acts are...
00:06:31.480 Feelings, which we can't deal with,
00:06:33.780 same-sex feelings,
00:06:34.620 are not addressed by that.
00:06:36.200 The Sharia is concerned with our actions.
00:06:37.920 That's actually a very interesting
00:06:39.220 question he made.
00:06:40.160 I haven't actually thought
00:06:41.000 of things like that before.
00:06:41.920 That's very interesting.
00:06:42.940 Why is it?
00:06:43.260 He just said that
00:06:44.080 the Sharia
00:06:45.360 deals with
00:06:46.520 the actions that you do,
00:06:48.320 not in regards to your feelings.
00:06:49.640 And that's true.
00:06:50.560 Because I might be walking
00:06:52.460 down the street
00:06:53.020 as a married man
00:06:53.920 and I might...
00:06:55.440 You know,
00:06:55.920 while lowering my gaze,
00:06:57.480 a girl who's,
00:06:58.400 mashallah, very pretty,
00:06:59.720 she catches my eye.
00:07:00.880 Yes, al-staffarullah.
00:07:01.600 Now, if I...
00:07:02.200 Obviously, al-staffarullah.
00:07:04.020 But if a thought comes in my mind
00:07:05.640 because of that,
00:07:06.360 I'm not accountable for that thought.
00:07:07.940 Yeah, because the Prophet
00:07:08.900 said that this Ummah is...
00:07:10.600 The thoughts that we get,
00:07:12.380 if we don't act upon them,
00:07:13.300 we're not sinful.
00:07:14.480 Yeah?
00:07:14.800 And not only that...
00:07:15.440 Because obviously,
00:07:15.980 shaitan will put thoughts in it.
00:07:16.800 And not only that,
00:07:17.460 as Muslims,
00:07:18.140 if we believe that
00:07:18.600 if we have an evil thought
00:07:19.380 and you don't act upon it,
00:07:20.240 you get a reward.
00:07:21.200 Judaism, Christianity and Islam
00:07:22.620 all believe that
00:07:23.940 homosexuality is a sin.
00:07:25.280 It's a major sin.
00:07:25.840 Yes, we believe that.
00:07:26.440 There's no denying that.
00:07:27.720 However, Islam is the only one
00:07:29.100 that says you don't act
00:07:30.520 according to the action.
00:07:31.640 The way I look at a woman,
00:07:32.800 the way I look at a woman,
00:07:34.060 yeah?
00:07:34.300 Do you look at a man that way?
00:07:36.080 Looking at a woman
00:07:36.940 or a man,
00:07:38.860 or a man,
00:07:39.860 it's a sin.
00:07:41.600 Yeah?
00:07:41.760 You should lower your gaze.
00:07:42.860 I don't know why he's comparing that.
00:07:43.860 That's why I think...
00:07:44.320 To be honest,
00:07:44.680 this conversation to me
00:07:45.760 so far has been pointless.
00:07:47.260 He has made it clear
00:07:47.920 what he's on,
00:07:48.520 which is that
00:07:49.280 he gets inclinations
00:07:50.460 but he doesn't act on them.
00:07:51.840 For example,
00:07:52.280 Allah says in the Quran
00:07:52.820 he's created man weak.
00:07:53.640 We have weakness towards women,
00:07:54.560 yeah?
00:07:55.040 So sometimes if we have
00:07:56.280 shaitan bringing evil thoughts
00:07:57.940 into our head,
00:07:58.840 yeah?
00:07:59.240 If we don't act upon it,
00:08:00.500 that's like,
00:08:01.240 you know,
00:08:02.320 what's the difference?
00:08:03.460 Me,
00:08:03.860 us men having tests
00:08:05.720 from women,
00:08:07.060 for example,
00:08:07.500 our weakness is women,
00:08:08.260 yeah?
00:08:08.300 You know what's very profound?
00:08:09.160 You know what would be profound?
00:08:09.960 If you don't cut me.
00:08:10.480 Let me finish my point,
00:08:15.300 yeah?
00:08:16.920 That was a sick one.
00:08:19.260 What was I saying?
00:08:19.900 See,
00:08:20.040 I forgot.
00:08:20.800 What was I saying?
00:08:21.340 Still in the bars.
00:08:22.740 Us having thoughts,
00:08:24.460 like for example,
00:08:25.160 men having a weakness
00:08:25.840 against women
00:08:26.940 is a test.
00:08:28.740 Same way a man
00:08:29.780 might have a feeling
00:08:31.080 or a woman
00:08:31.520 might have a feeling
00:08:31.980 against the same gender,
00:08:33.280 yeah?
00:08:33.720 It's about leaving it
00:08:35.060 for the sake of God
00:08:35.820 and saying,
00:08:36.160 you know what?
00:08:36.940 I want to please God,
00:08:38.160 yeah?
00:08:38.360 And I want paradise,
00:08:39.260 so this is a test.
00:08:40.340 I'm going to abstain from it.
00:08:41.980 Yes,
00:08:42.400 as a Muslim,
00:08:44.360 is that wrong?
00:08:45.120 Yes,
00:08:45.400 as a Muslim,
00:08:45.880 looking at a woman
00:08:47.160 or a man,
00:08:48.000 lustfully,
00:08:48.520 is wrong.
00:08:49.420 You know why this is very dangerous
00:08:50.620 for Muslims,
00:08:51.260 yeah?
00:08:51.740 Because you saw the first half
00:08:52.920 of this with Christianity
00:08:53.660 when they forced gay marriage
00:08:56.100 in the church.
00:08:56.980 Do you understand?
00:08:58.320 And then from there now,
00:09:00.100 you have gay marriage
00:09:00.860 in the church
00:09:01.300 and it's infiltrated.
00:09:02.040 He just said
00:09:06.300 gay marriage is haram.
00:09:07.560 He's clearly saying,
00:09:08.200 I understand.
00:09:08.240 So what are you talking about?
00:09:09.080 What's the point of this conversation?
00:09:09.860 That's what I'm trying to say.
00:09:10.280 It's like,
00:09:10.660 you're having an argument
00:09:11.620 and the guy's just like...
00:09:12.080 It's like you're just trying
00:09:12.720 to have a dig at him
00:09:13.620 because he has these inclinations.
00:09:15.140 It's like me having a dig at Ali
00:09:16.860 for being ugly.
00:09:17.600 I can't blame him.
00:09:20.280 Every creation of Allah
00:09:21.500 is beautiful.
00:09:22.780 You know,
00:09:23.080 advising people without knowledge,
00:09:24.900 it just...
00:09:25.460 Yes.
00:09:26.060 It just...
00:09:27.060 It makes you look a bit...
00:09:28.300 It makes you look
00:09:29.040 and it just causes destruction.
00:09:30.540 You end up destroying people
00:09:31.940 as Iman
00:09:32.440 rather than saving it.
00:09:33.400 Yes, yes, yes.
00:09:33.840 Exactly.
00:09:34.020 And that's what they...
00:09:35.160 Like, if Paul didn't have knowledge,
00:09:36.920 like,
00:09:37.260 he probably would have left.
00:09:38.460 Yeah, not only that,
00:09:39.380 he would have been left.
00:09:40.300 He would have assumed
00:09:41.440 that all Muslims are like that.
00:09:42.780 Yes, exactly.
00:09:45.820 You can't say,
00:09:46.660 I'm more of a Muslim than me.
00:09:48.180 That's wrong.
00:09:48.820 You can't say that.
00:09:49.700 You can't speak to anyone.
00:09:51.260 One minute, one minute.
00:09:52.080 There's other people
00:09:52.740 in Hyde Park, yeah,
00:09:54.120 who are propagating
00:09:55.000 this shirk
00:09:55.520 on an active level.
00:09:56.900 Yes.
00:09:57.660 Actively.
00:09:58.280 Yes.
00:09:58.800 Associating partners with Allah.
00:10:00.200 Yeah.
00:10:01.160 Do these brothers have
00:10:02.360 as much al-wala wal-bara
00:10:03.700 which is love and hatred
00:10:05.520 for Allah
00:10:06.080 to go and hate that more?
00:10:07.700 Yeah.
00:10:07.820 Because it seems like
00:10:08.980 they have...
00:10:09.540 Exactly.
00:10:10.020 Because this shows
00:10:11.700 lack of Tawheed.
00:10:12.720 Lack of Tawheed means
00:10:13.520 the understanding
00:10:14.340 of oneness of God.
00:10:16.100 So it just goes to show you.
00:10:17.720 I mean,
00:10:18.500 some of us fail to understand
00:10:19.920 the potential of non-Muslims.
00:10:22.720 If today,
00:10:23.740 a non-Muslim that I'm speaking to
00:10:25.140 accepts Islam,
00:10:26.200 as soon as he's accepted Islam,
00:10:28.180 he's like a newborn baby.
00:10:29.580 Yeah, of course.
00:10:29.780 All of his previous sins
00:10:30.740 are forgiven.
00:10:31.380 Of course.
00:10:31.720 Me as a Muslim,
00:10:32.720 I've got loads of sins.
00:10:34.400 So that's what we fail
00:10:36.040 to understand that
00:10:36.920 looking at non-Muslims,
00:10:38.900 we look down upon them.
00:10:40.260 Yeah?
00:10:40.440 But a non-Muslim
00:10:41.200 is a potential Muslim.
00:10:43.120 This whole thing
00:10:43.940 about gay and not gay,
00:10:46.000 look,
00:10:46.260 we don't want to be here today
00:10:48.280 to tell you
00:10:48.940 you're not a Muslim,
00:10:49.680 don't go and pray to you
00:10:50.700 or you're clear.
00:10:51.420 I'm not here to tell you
00:10:52.040 you're not a Muslim either.
00:10:53.080 Well, why is it all about me?
00:10:53.980 No, I'm not making it up.
00:10:55.140 I'm trying to help you.
00:10:56.160 I'm trying to help you.
00:10:57.200 They're saying
00:10:57.620 they're trying to help him,
00:10:58.520 but honestly,
00:10:59.240 they need to help their self
00:11:00.740 because sadly,
00:11:02.000 Paul is speaking
00:11:02.660 more Islamically
00:11:04.020 than they are.
00:11:04.980 Listen, listen,
00:11:06.200 let me tell you
00:11:07.020 what I'm saying.
00:11:08.260 Let me tell you
00:11:09.100 what I'm saying.
00:11:09.800 What goes on behind those walls
00:11:11.500 is between you and Allah.
00:11:13.300 If you want to go
00:11:13.980 commit sin,
00:11:14.860 don't commit sin.
00:11:15.860 That's right to you.
00:11:17.080 No, but he's right.
00:11:17.780 Why is it about him?
00:11:18.220 He can say the same thing.
00:11:19.300 We're talking about
00:11:20.280 a sin,
00:11:21.400 which is a sin.
00:11:22.340 Yeah, it's like
00:11:22.960 any other major sin.
00:11:24.440 It's a sin.
00:11:25.220 I can just turn around to you
00:11:26.800 and say,
00:11:27.080 bro, look, okay,
00:11:27.960 if you're committing zinnah,
00:11:29.360 just know that
00:11:29.840 your Lord's watching.
00:11:30.640 It's the same thing.
00:11:31.680 And not only that,
00:11:32.720 it's not just Muslims.
00:11:33.580 It's not just two guys here.
00:11:34.800 You've got a guy on the left
00:11:35.740 and a guy on the right
00:11:36.380 which are non-Muslims.
00:11:37.120 Yeah, Rastafarian.
00:11:38.020 One's a Rastafarian
00:11:38.640 and one other guy's
00:11:39.540 no, he's an atheist.
00:11:40.280 Oh, he's an atheist?
00:11:40.700 He has no moral grounds
00:11:41.620 to say anything.
00:11:42.760 We're going to finish.
00:11:44.020 We're going to finish.
00:11:45.060 Let me finish.
00:11:46.040 If everyone's talking at me,
00:11:47.420 let me speak.
00:11:49.200 I'm a Muslim
00:11:49.860 who has same-sex attraction,
00:11:51.220 but you want to put it
00:11:51.700 in a different language, yeah?
00:11:52.980 My sexual attraction
00:11:53.700 is not to Muslim,
00:11:54.640 but to men.
00:11:55.020 It just happens to be the case.
00:11:55.780 I can't help that.
00:11:57.140 There are lots of Muslims like this.
00:11:58.540 Always have been throughout history, yeah?
00:12:00.600 Well, I choose,
00:12:02.160 as an Englishman,
00:12:03.220 to be a Muslim
00:12:04.020 and living under God's law,
00:12:05.520 which is revealed
00:12:06.520 in all the revelations of God.
00:12:08.820 I accept that the place,
00:12:10.100 the only authentic
00:12:11.580 allowed place
00:12:12.240 for sexual intimacy
00:12:13.120 is in heterosexual marriage
00:12:14.780 between a man and a woman
00:12:15.840 or a man and two women
00:12:16.720 or whatever, yeah?
00:12:17.700 I accept that.
00:12:18.940 I actually have to live
00:12:20.160 by that rule.
00:12:21.220 Look,
00:12:22.440 that's not just me saying,
00:12:23.540 look, yeah,
00:12:24.020 I know adultery,
00:12:25.660 acting on adultery
00:12:26.280 is wrong.
00:12:27.240 That's why
00:12:27.780 I'm not going to do adultery
00:12:29.320 and I'm going to do the right thing
00:12:30.520 until I'm going to stay away from that
00:12:32.160 until I get married.
00:12:32.800 It's like me saying,
00:12:33.740 one minute,
00:12:34.180 but why do you get thoughts for?
00:12:36.100 Why do you get these feelings?
00:12:37.560 That's what I'm saying.
00:12:38.340 What's wrong with you?
00:12:39.100 We need to understand,
00:12:40.040 just because you get these thoughts
00:12:41.100 doesn't mean you're homosexual.
00:12:42.660 Look, I don't think
00:12:43.140 there's one Muslim
00:12:44.020 on the face of this earth
00:12:45.300 that can tell me
00:12:46.640 with confidence
00:12:47.720 that my brother,
00:12:48.900 I have never had a thought
00:12:49.880 from the shaitan in my head.
00:12:51.420 Yeah,
00:12:52.060 about anything.
00:12:52.800 Forget that,
00:12:53.340 the sahaba had bad thoughts
00:12:54.460 about Allah and his messenger.
00:12:56.020 Having these thoughts
00:12:56.880 doesn't make you homosexual.
00:12:58.280 Do you get it?
00:12:59.040 Because it's like saying,
00:13:00.120 you know what,
00:13:00.400 in my head I sometimes
00:13:01.040 think about murdering somebody.
00:13:02.260 It doesn't make you a murderer, yeah?
00:13:04.280 Obviously it's wrong
00:13:04.940 what you're thinking.
00:13:05.760 It's about overcoming that.
00:13:07.200 Why,
00:13:07.520 for the love of God,
00:13:08.940 I don't know
00:13:10.100 what the benefit is
00:13:12.680 of mentioning
00:13:13.460 that you are
00:13:14.300 because then
00:13:16.360 you are going to attract
00:13:17.300 a lot of ignorant people
00:13:18.180 like this
00:13:18.640 and it might cause
00:13:19.660 a bit of controversy.
00:13:20.200 But they went up to him.
00:13:20.860 He didn't come up.
00:13:21.460 That's the thing.
00:13:21.940 Maybe they heard
00:13:22.800 from somewhere else.
00:13:23.500 I don't know.
00:13:23.860 I don't know.
00:13:24.520 But, yeah.
00:13:25.560 I don't need to be lectured
00:13:27.660 by a well-meaning Muslim
00:13:29.480 about what I do
00:13:30.460 in my private life.
00:13:32.300 Because I can question you.
00:13:35.080 If you go into the road,
00:13:36.940 you know there's a Muslim
00:13:37.680 involved drinking alcohol.
00:13:39.360 That's for all.
00:13:41.600 Let's also think about
00:13:42.720 alcohol drinking.
00:13:43.880 Let's think about Muslims
00:13:44.760 who are straight
00:13:45.660 who sleep around.
00:13:46.460 You know,
00:13:46.760 you know,
00:13:47.360 subhanAllah,
00:13:48.040 it's a very profound point
00:13:49.340 that he mentioned.
00:13:50.600 Abdullah bin Abbas
00:13:51.480 was actually of the view
00:13:52.500 that, you know what
00:13:53.600 the greatest sin is
00:13:54.500 after shirk?
00:13:56.300 Drinking alcohol.
00:13:57.760 Really?
00:13:58.060 Consuming alcohol.
00:13:59.200 Let's talk about racism.
00:14:01.380 Let's talk about
00:14:02.080 all these other forms, yeah?
00:14:04.020 But it just happens to be
00:14:05.020 that they're...
00:14:05.780 The thing is,
00:14:06.500 the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
00:14:07.620 would look for any excuse
00:14:09.240 to keep someone as a Muslim.
00:14:10.580 Nowadays,
00:14:11.300 the Muslims look for any excuse
00:14:12.960 to make someone
00:14:13.520 into a non-Muslim.
00:14:14.500 Yeah?
00:14:15.080 But the thing is,
00:14:15.920 everyone sins.
00:14:17.220 Everyone's sins are different.
00:14:18.760 Everyone is going
00:14:19.580 at their own pace.
00:14:20.500 The thing is that,
00:14:21.180 you know what you just said, yeah?
00:14:23.340 Everyone sins.
00:14:24.980 Like,
00:14:25.480 that's...
00:14:26.100 That is accepted
00:14:27.180 by everyone, yeah?
00:14:28.280 But you know
00:14:28.900 the craziest thing is,
00:14:30.280 they're not even talking
00:14:31.080 about a sin here.
00:14:32.700 They're questioning him
00:14:33.720 for having thoughts.
00:14:34.960 Yeah.
00:14:35.520 This is not Islam.
00:14:37.860 We don't pick on brothers
00:14:39.620 because they have
00:14:40.320 same-sex attraction
00:14:41.220 as if it's the worst thing.
00:14:42.780 It's not a sin
00:14:43.520 to have feelings.
00:14:44.580 It's what you do
00:14:45.620 with those feelings.
00:14:46.640 If you have them desires,
00:14:48.600 then that's you.
00:14:49.320 That's not me.
00:14:49.940 Bruv,
00:14:51.820 I can come to you
00:14:52.480 and say,
00:14:52.740 bruv,
00:14:52.980 if you have them desires
00:14:53.740 about women,
00:14:54.360 that's you.
00:14:54.860 That's not me.
00:14:55.660 That's what I'm saying.
00:14:56.380 So,
00:14:56.700 if you want to go
00:14:57.480 and do that,
00:14:58.240 then come and...
00:14:58.900 Bruv,
00:14:59.080 I can say the same thing.
00:14:59.780 If you want to go
00:15:00.320 and do that,
00:15:00.820 you go do that.
00:15:01.580 I'm sorry.
00:15:02.040 Do that.
00:15:02.660 I suggest you do that
00:15:04.040 and don't tell anyone
00:15:04.880 I'm sorry.
00:15:05.160 I suggest you do that
00:15:06.500 as long as you don't
00:15:07.040 tell anyone.
00:15:07.700 Like,
00:15:07.860 that's the same thing.
00:15:08.420 He didn't do anything.
00:15:10.040 He's not...
00:15:11.040 Tell a Muslim
00:15:11.960 it's okay
00:15:12.560 to go and do...
00:15:13.320 I'm not saying
00:15:14.260 that it's okay.
00:15:15.040 I'm saying
00:15:15.380 I don't accept it.
00:15:16.440 I'm not going to go
00:15:17.080 and do it.
00:15:17.680 You don't...
00:15:18.620 Your decisions
00:15:19.760 ain't going to have
00:15:20.380 to be in the society.
00:15:22.000 I'm just going to
00:15:22.720 assume their best
00:15:23.380 because, you know...
00:15:23.980 No, what do you mean
00:15:24.660 assume the best?
00:15:25.220 How is this relevant?
00:15:26.640 No, we don't have...
00:15:27.580 Bro, if something is...
00:15:28.380 They're two new revet brothers.
00:15:29.720 We have to just...
00:15:30.520 No, I'll assume the best,
00:15:31.740 yeah, about them.
00:15:33.040 No, you have no right
00:15:34.220 to go to anybody
00:15:35.200 and question and be like,
00:15:36.420 are you doing this?
00:15:37.200 No, no, no.
00:15:37.760 What is Islam's position
00:15:38.980 on being a homosexual?
00:15:40.880 On active homosexual?
00:15:42.340 Being actively gay?
00:15:44.180 Practicing the act
00:15:45.000 of being gay?
00:15:45.780 Islam is against that
00:15:46.740 and we're here
00:15:47.560 as three Muslims
00:15:48.500 we don't disagree with that.
00:15:49.880 Islam is against that.
00:15:50.960 It's very, very clear.
00:15:51.600 It's outright against that.
00:15:52.620 We have an issue
00:15:53.400 of the way that
00:15:54.540 homosexual...
00:15:55.560 Someone that's homosexual
00:15:56.620 is being treated.
00:15:57.820 Yeah, I mean...
00:15:58.380 And it just goes to show you
00:15:59.360 we're not homophobic.
00:16:01.240 It's about...
00:16:02.200 You can't go...
00:16:03.300 Look, I can't go
00:16:04.600 and start looking down
00:16:05.840 and treating homosexual
00:16:06.880 like, I can't go.
00:16:08.660 Like me, for example,
00:16:09.600 I might disagree with it.
00:16:10.560 Like people...
00:16:11.280 There's other people
00:16:11.760 like you saw that
00:16:12.280 in the first video.
00:16:13.380 Like people...
00:16:13.880 Even though we don't agree
00:16:14.700 with that.
00:16:15.160 Some of them might say,
00:16:15.580 you know what,
00:16:15.760 I think it's wrong.
00:16:16.600 There's Christians and Jews
00:16:17.280 which are trying to say
00:16:17.700 this is absolutely wrong.
00:16:18.940 Yeah?
00:16:19.280 However, you don't go
00:16:20.180 and start belittling
00:16:21.140 and swearing
00:16:22.220 and insulting and treating
00:16:23.160 because look at
00:16:23.900 Lut alayhi salam, yeah?
00:16:25.240 What happened, yeah?
00:16:26.480 What happened with Lut alayhi salam, yeah?
00:16:27.920 He came to those people
00:16:28.640 at that time.
00:16:29.500 Now, obviously,
00:16:30.540 we believe God Almighty
00:16:31.340 destroyed that nation, yeah?
00:16:32.740 Lut alayhi salam,
00:16:36.880 and preach to them
00:16:37.500 and say to them,
00:16:38.320 look, you know, etc.
00:16:39.020 He would offer solutions.
00:16:40.180 On top of that,
00:16:41.360 he offered...
00:16:41.400 Like you said daughter, isn't he?
00:16:42.460 He offered his own daughters
00:16:43.900 in marriage.
00:16:44.240 He said, don't do this.
00:16:45.500 I'll marry my daughters.
00:16:46.840 Yeah?
00:16:47.120 A solution.
00:16:47.740 How many of us as brothers
00:16:48.860 would go to someone
00:16:49.980 who has gay inclinations
00:16:51.040 and say, take my daughter?
00:16:52.080 And help him.
00:16:52.980 First thing we do
00:16:54.020 is we state the punishment
00:16:55.580 that was done.
00:16:56.240 We don't state
00:16:56.860 what happened before.
00:16:57.760 Like, I'll be honest,
00:16:58.740 even before today,
00:16:59.800 I didn't know this as well.
00:17:01.060 Yeah?
00:17:01.640 And then you guys said this.
00:17:02.940 This is very, very profound.
00:17:04.920 Offering the solution.
00:17:05.900 Telling someone to stop,
00:17:07.200 you know, smoking cigarettes,
00:17:09.500 you have to give them a solution.
00:17:10.720 Yes.
00:17:11.140 Tell them there's this session going on,
00:17:13.740 they take patches,
00:17:14.560 take this, take that.
00:17:15.600 I mean, in Jamaica,
00:17:17.060 Akala was saying that
00:17:18.060 they're very homophobic in Jamaica.
00:17:20.460 But the thing is
00:17:21.560 that they're a majority Christian nation
00:17:23.560 or Rastafarians or whatever.
00:17:25.760 No one ever says
00:17:27.040 that it's because
00:17:28.240 it's written in the Bible.
00:17:29.960 It's because it's in the teacher
00:17:31.620 of the Rasta.
00:17:33.440 Yeah?
00:17:33.900 Or Ja or whatever.
00:17:35.080 Yeah?
00:17:36.020 No one ever says that.
00:17:37.360 You know what the mad thing is?
00:17:38.240 People will associate
00:17:39.140 this behavior
00:17:40.200 with Islam.
00:17:41.640 It's got absolutely
00:17:42.340 nothing to do with it, mate.
00:17:43.480 But do we now believe
00:17:45.280 that we can be
00:17:46.280 homophobic in our behavior?
00:17:48.320 And say,
00:17:48.500 oh, look at this guy,
00:17:49.240 look at this guy.
00:17:49.900 No.
00:17:50.300 This is not from the teachings
00:17:51.220 and the mannerisms
00:17:52.040 of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
00:17:52.920 And be violent.
00:17:53.500 If a gay man came to
00:17:55.220 the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
00:17:56.020 and said,
00:17:57.080 oh, Messenger of Allah,
00:17:58.100 I need help with this.
00:17:59.580 I am acting in this way.
00:18:01.620 Do you think the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
00:18:02.360 would turn away from him
00:18:03.160 and say,
00:18:03.380 oh, get lost.
00:18:03.980 You're disgusting.
00:18:04.660 This, that.
00:18:05.120 The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
00:18:05.760 would give him solutions.
00:18:06.760 Because Islam came
00:18:08.280 to be a solution
00:18:11.040 for our problem.
00:18:12.160 The Prophet Muhammad said,
00:18:14.480 the greatest jihad
00:18:16.180 is to fight the evil
00:18:17.480 within yourself.
00:18:19.200 So, you know what it is?
00:18:20.520 If somebody is gay,
00:18:22.760 if somebody is gay,
00:18:23.940 it should be something
00:18:24.720 that they are fighting against,
00:18:26.860 they are trying to improve.
00:18:28.260 And that's what sounds like
00:18:29.000 we're not here to do.
00:18:30.800 If there's one thing
00:18:31.680 I want many Muslims to realize
00:18:33.420 is that people like me
00:18:34.280 are human beings.
00:18:35.540 Okay, we've got our trials
00:18:36.680 that God has given me
00:18:37.620 a test in life.
00:18:38.900 We've given many tests.
00:18:39.640 This is one test
00:18:40.380 that He's given me
00:18:41.140 that I have to live with
00:18:42.560 and try and practice
00:18:43.260 as best as I can.
00:18:44.400 Yeah?
00:18:44.740 But I'm a human being.
00:18:46.340 So, just don't see me
00:18:47.320 as a gay.
00:18:48.300 I am poor.
00:18:48.980 That's my name.
00:18:49.920 You know, I live in a certain place.
00:18:51.300 I have a family and so on.
00:18:52.580 That's what I want to say.
00:18:53.460 But I'm struggling
00:18:54.140 with an issue.
00:18:54.980 It's a test of Allah.
00:18:56.200 It just happens to me.
00:18:56.920 Now, this gentleman
00:18:57.460 who I don't know many ones
00:18:58.720 may have these
00:19:00.400 very different tests.
00:19:01.660 I have no idea what they are.
00:19:03.140 It's none of your business.
00:19:05.000 What is he saying?
00:19:05.600 What is he saying?
00:19:06.040 Do you have thoughts, though?
00:19:06.720 Do you have thoughts?
00:19:08.060 No!
00:19:08.580 What are you talking about?
00:19:10.140 Okay, are you telling me
00:19:11.280 that you don't have thoughts
00:19:12.040 about females?
00:19:12.920 The brother, I'm sorry.
00:19:13.680 Yeah, but how are you
00:19:14.240 having homosexuals?
00:19:15.060 The brother, the Quran says,
00:19:16.420 the Quran says,
00:19:17.100 No, no, no.
00:19:17.480 See you there.
00:19:18.160 Why don't you have this list?
00:19:18.860 No, no, I told you.
00:19:19.960 Sorry.
00:19:20.680 Yeah, good.
00:19:21.340 That guy in the back,
00:19:22.400 he's just biting his nose
00:19:23.460 into everything.
00:19:24.280 What do you see?
00:19:24.980 He's this guy.
00:19:25.560 He's just, he just,
00:19:26.520 he has an issue
00:19:27.040 because we've refuted him
00:19:28.420 many times.
00:19:29.180 So he's just there
00:19:29.920 trying to stir up.
00:19:31.880 The Quran says,
00:19:33.080 you will not be left alone
00:19:36.040 so you probably have your test,
00:19:38.640 we all have our test.
00:19:39.680 I just want us all to see
00:19:40.940 us as brothers together
00:19:42.020 struggling on the way.
00:19:44.180 If someone comes up to you
00:19:45.420 and says,
00:19:46.140 Oh, I'm hooked
00:19:47.420 to this particular drug.
00:19:48.820 What are you going to do?
00:19:49.600 Start judging them,
00:19:50.440 start saying,
00:19:50.800 you're not a Muslim anymore.
00:19:52.000 Go and do what you're doing.
00:19:53.500 Just don't have thoughts
00:19:54.300 of drugs.
00:19:54.840 And he's like,
00:19:55.160 look, but I can't get rid of it.
00:19:57.040 I mean, imagine if it was
00:19:58.420 your child.
00:19:59.360 Yeah, the thing is
00:20:00.160 with other people,
00:20:01.160 it's different.
00:20:01.940 Exactly, that's my point.
00:20:02.760 Imagine that this guy
00:20:04.260 is your relative.
00:20:05.060 You would speak to him
00:20:06.620 differently.
00:20:07.240 You would do anything
00:20:08.640 to help them
00:20:10.240 to, you know,
00:20:11.940 understand them.
00:20:13.060 Understand,
00:20:13.880 don't reprimand.
00:20:14.920 So that's my position.
00:20:15.960 It is Islamic position.
00:20:16.940 I do my best.
00:20:17.800 He said one
00:20:18.880 very important thing.
00:20:20.100 He's a human being.
00:20:21.840 Yeah.
00:20:22.280 And the fact that
00:20:23.800 you're a sinner,
00:20:24.640 you're still a human being, bro.
00:20:26.020 Like a story of a companion
00:20:27.720 who came to the Prophet
00:20:28.580 and asked permission
00:20:29.560 to do zina.
00:20:30.540 The Prophet didn't
00:20:31.740 randomly start saying,
00:20:32.760 Oh, you're getting these thoughts.
00:20:33.840 Why are you getting these thoughts?
00:20:35.220 Da da da da da da.
00:20:36.060 He immediately,
00:20:37.400 he understood him.
00:20:39.400 He gave him that respect
00:20:40.820 and then he spoke to him
00:20:42.860 in a reasonable manner
00:20:43.900 using logic.
00:20:45.340 I'm going to meet you, bro.
00:20:46.260 I'm going to meet you, bro.
00:20:47.020 He's getting married.
00:20:47.720 I'm a brother.
00:20:53.400 It's the same thing.
00:20:55.620 One day, who knows?
00:20:57.320 And smoking is the wrong word.
00:20:58.840 He's got a strong logic.
00:20:59.840 I'm sorry.
00:21:05.980 He just dropped...
00:21:06.800 Forget the mic.
00:21:07.760 He just...
00:21:08.360 Not the mic.
00:21:09.480 You know the sound system.
00:21:10.700 Some woofers, everything.
00:21:11.760 He dropped everything
00:21:13.200 in the whole building.
00:21:14.060 Sound system.
00:21:14.520 Let's just sum it up, yeah?
00:21:15.720 For non-Muslims
00:21:17.480 who are watching, maybe.
00:21:18.460 And for Muslims
00:21:19.220 to understand as well
00:21:20.260 where we're coming from.
00:21:22.220 For Muslims, yeah?
00:21:23.120 Yeah.
00:21:23.620 You have to understand
00:21:24.560 that we all have struggles.
00:21:26.260 Yeah?
00:21:26.400 And when I say struggles,
00:21:27.920 I'm not talking about sins.
00:21:28.820 I'm saying we all struggle, yeah?
00:21:31.060 We all have thoughts.
00:21:32.080 We all have to control ourselves.
00:21:33.900 Your struggle,
00:21:34.880 watching this,
00:21:35.500 might be music.
00:21:36.600 Okay?
00:21:36.940 Every day,
00:21:37.920 you might see your friends
00:21:38.740 listening to music
00:21:39.340 and you're like,
00:21:39.780 oh, I can't...
00:21:41.200 I really want to listen to music.
00:21:43.300 Yeah.
00:21:43.600 Someone else's struggle,
00:21:44.760 they might come from a background
00:21:45.980 where they were committing
00:21:46.780 a lot of zina.
00:21:47.840 That might be zina for them.
00:21:49.320 Okay?
00:21:49.740 Yeah.
00:21:50.360 Someone else might come
00:21:51.360 from a musical background
00:21:52.460 where they used to make music.
00:21:53.740 That might be a fitna for them.
00:21:55.080 I know brothers like this.
00:21:56.420 In all of these different scenarios
00:21:57.600 I've mentioned.
00:21:58.240 Of course.
00:21:58.540 And then,
00:21:59.120 someone might come from a background
00:22:00.540 where they were gay
00:22:01.260 and they were acting upon that.
00:22:02.320 They became Muslim
00:22:03.000 and now they can't
00:22:04.260 keep acting upon that.
00:22:05.680 There's no difference
00:22:06.680 between all of these situations.
00:22:08.620 All of these situations
00:22:09.720 are sins
00:22:10.360 and it's people struggling
00:22:11.980 to not act upon them.
00:22:13.040 Okay?
00:22:13.300 Since I speak bars, yeah?
00:22:15.160 Don't judge somebody
00:22:16.140 just because they sin
00:22:16.920 differently than you.
00:22:18.540 Yeah, that's not yours though.
00:22:19.540 Someone else has said that before.
00:22:20.540 I'm pretty sure
00:22:25.240 someone else has said that before.
00:22:26.980 Violated some major copyrights.
00:22:28.500 Look, so just a quick wrap up
00:22:29.420 for non-Muslim homosexuals
00:22:31.780 and those Muslim homosexuals
00:22:34.300 who have those tendencies
00:22:35.080 is that look,
00:22:37.020 it's your struggle.
00:22:38.240 You're going to be accountable
00:22:38.960 to God.
00:22:39.720 This is what we believe
00:22:40.220 in our religion.
00:22:41.280 And like I said before,
00:22:42.320 it's the same thing
00:22:42.920 as somebody having
00:22:43.520 an inclination towards women.
00:22:44.780 So if you're a non-Muslim,
00:22:45.960 yes, you can become a Muslim.
00:22:47.500 You can become a Muslim.
00:22:49.200 Yes, you should try
00:22:50.900 to stop the act.
00:22:52.000 Yeah?
00:22:53.040 Because it is a major sin.
00:22:54.420 And that's about it guys.
00:22:55.240 Hope you guys have benefited
00:22:55.960 and hope you have really understood
00:22:57.440 as a Muslim
00:22:58.360 how we react to homosexuals.
