00:01:56.720
for the past five or six years my dad um well i would say the last about two years he kind of
00:02:04.160
people if he had some customers um and they tell him uh they tell him about me so it's kind of
00:02:11.520
recently about a year and a half two years ago they found out about my youtube and stuff
00:02:15.440
which they're not really happy about but praying was the first time ever like i think he actually
00:02:21.200
caught me praying because usually when i hear him this was before like time ago it would be really like
00:02:26.720
bad like i would have to stop praying because if he saw me it just would have been really bad not
00:02:31.440
not that he's a bad person it's just the things that has been through a few extra few other stuff
00:02:36.240
as well so it's not that he's a bad person i don't want you guys to start thinking like my dad's bad
00:02:39.200
he's not a bad person he's a really very nice person uh but it's just you know it's just the
00:02:43.280
stuff that he's gone through that's kind of mean a bit bitter and you know he just thinks you know
00:02:47.600
i'm brainwashed etc it's a different story but i'll ask allah to guide him inshallah and there's a lot
00:02:51.680
of people out there with the same issues as well so yeah i was just i was standing there so when i heard the door
00:02:56.480
i can see like from the corridor from here like for example let me show you guys so basically from
00:03:02.400
there you can see that's the corridor yeah so i'm praying here so imagine i'm praying here so i know
00:03:09.600
from there he's going to see me yeah so what i do is i start i went a bit forward yeah so he wouldn't
00:03:14.800
see me i went really close and my mom's standing one second and my mom's my mom's standing basically
00:03:21.440
here yeah yeah mom's standing right here yeah and then and then next time i know she starts
00:03:39.760
okay she's gonna say in turkish i can do translation like uh on the screen if that's too long i'm just
00:03:45.040
going to translate for you yeah so she's basically saying that four years i was uh praying she didn't tell
00:03:55.200
my dad and she's hiding from me yeah so she's basically saying that she used to be careful she would
00:04:02.400
look at the door you know see you know you should cover for me basically yeah you know how mothers are
00:04:07.120
you know yeah so basically um uh she's uh saying that uh when my dad came and caught me because you
00:04:26.720
see there's two things happened here one month ago i was upstairs here and that's when the first ever time
00:04:35.040
he caught me praying yeah the second time is this instance i'm telling you that instance when it
00:04:40.640
first happened that was i can't explain to you yeah um i don't go into detail there's some certain
00:04:45.440
things that happened and i was praying and he came so i was upstairs yeah he came i thought my mom came
00:04:51.840
so he's coming he came into the room i'm praying and he's like what are you doing yeah and imagine i'm
00:04:58.240
in prayer usually i break my salah yeah but i was just some things that happened yeah i can't explain
00:05:04.080
to you but i just froze like i was like i cannot explain the feeling the most awkward feeling ever
00:05:10.320
like it's like do i stop what do i do and he's like what like what are you doing yeah like literally
00:05:16.560
imagine you're not even looking i can it was the most awkward thing ever obviously i i just carried on
00:05:22.640
i don't know why i just carried on yeah and then um afterwards i'm thinking in my head like this is
00:05:28.400
the most awkward thing ever because i'm eventually going to finish praying and i can i heard that he
00:05:34.560
just sat there watching me so imagine how awkward it is yeah those who are reverts or those who are
00:05:40.560
muslim families who um uh you know muslim families their families maybe don't like them praying whatever
00:05:47.600
yeah but sometimes reverts i think mainly reverts go through this they would know so when you finish
00:05:54.560
prayer imagine you're giving you're doing teslim yeah okay and then you turn it and you're going to
00:05:59.440
turn this side yeah and then he's and he's there as soon as i finish prayer and it was the most awkward
00:06:04.400
thing ever what i did is i just i just wanted to walk out yeah like i was just i just i didn't want to
00:06:10.080
look at him i put my head down i was just trying to go yeah and then um obviously he was angry he's like
00:06:15.200
don't ever pray um here again etc etc a few other things but like i said to you before he's coming
00:06:21.280
from the angle where you know he just look you need to understand things like this yeah like it's
00:06:26.960
like look at the companions a lot of them they accepted islam later on in life etc at the beginning
00:06:31.840
they were hostile umar and you know he was even though some say it's weak narration that he was on
00:06:35.840
the way to kill the prophet peace be upon him so they were hostile why because they didn't not know
00:06:39.520
better so we should not look at these people as evil you know we should make pray for them whoever
00:06:44.160
yeah so yeah that was the first ever time yeah so the second time my mom doesn't know my mom doesn't
00:06:50.240
know that first time he saw me so obviously i'm a little bit more comfortable comfortable so so
00:06:56.480
basically he's walking through that door i go right where this is this is yeah i come very close to it
00:07:02.400
yeah so he doesn't see me so he's opening the door and no the kapıyı açtı
00:07:06.000
yeah he was like open the door yeah so basically and then and then and i was like come on like you
00:07:24.320
know it's just like cover and then he opened the door and then he came in and then mom
00:07:28.640
she's saying she's saying to me get up get up because i haven't told her my mom's my dad saw me
00:07:42.080
playing once yeah so i'm a little bit more confident it's still very awkward like i try to avoid it here
00:07:45.840
because i don't want to rub it in his face yeah um so my mom's like get up get up so i'm not i'm just
00:07:50.720
carrying on because i'm just like oh man not again but i'm just carrying on so my mom's thinking it's the
00:07:55.440
first time for her and she's thinking what the hell is going on and why is he not getting up
00:08:04.160
yeah she's like she's like she's like she's like what the hell like what are you doing like
00:09:23.040
not with the intentions of making it seem like i did something extraordinary something special
00:09:28.640
um but in a nutshell the reason i'm doing this um
00:09:31.680
brother insisted as well actually i'm gonna put the camera here because i'm because ipad recording
00:09:43.040
the reason why i was i'm sharing this with you guys as well yeah and just giving
00:09:57.440
okay all right so my mom is basically saying she's made the vine leaves and the dolma
00:10:04.880
some sauce on it because it tastes better with that so when it comes to this i'm i'm
00:10:08.720
she always forces me even when i'm leaving i can't leave that i can't leave the house without
00:10:11.760
having breakfast you know she'll force me yeah that's mothers for you um
00:10:15.440
that's what the prophet said you know when they asked who has my more rights said your mother
00:10:20.400
then who your mother then who your mother then who your father obviously we should be great
00:10:24.160
we're grateful and appreciative and respectful to our parents and they are your daughter jannah
00:10:28.320
you know allah says in the quran that after he orders us to worship him to obey the parents be
00:10:33.600
the muslim or non-muslim so yeah in a nutshell the reason why i'm sharing this with you brothers and
00:10:37.920
sisters is that it's it's i heard of i heard a lot of stories mine mine is nothing yeah i've heard of
00:10:43.040
mad stories where they're caught praying the parent comes and spits in their face
00:10:47.840
physically attacked yeah i haven't i haven't gone through that madness yeah but i know a lot of
00:10:51.600
people now there is times there is times i'll even mention here for you guys that there is times i can
00:10:58.160
remember when i would have to do and i'm sure a lot of revert brothers or those who are struggling in
00:11:02.240
certain families face that getting up for fajr is a struggle on its own yeah but for reverts it's not
00:11:09.120
the struggle of okay um you know some river struggle as well i'm not trying to make it seem
00:11:13.200
like reverts do something special but the struggle of waking up for fajr that's another problem with
00:11:18.560
itself but another thing is the fact that you have to get up knowing your parents if you're both your
00:11:25.280
parents are not okay with it your sister brother with me it was just my father yeah yeah i mean so
00:11:30.560
basically is that you have to get up in silence yeah so i'll just show you guys this
00:11:40.640
no evil eye please so i'm gonna have that so the issue is not just oh i'm gonna wake for fajr i can't
00:11:47.680
wake up in the morning no the issue is you have to get up in silence so imagine you're getting up
00:11:53.120
in silence yeah so you're walking down you're tiptoeing man like wallahi it's literally i can't remember
00:11:59.200
time where you i would have to tiptoe yeah and i know a lot of people go up for this as well you're
00:12:04.480
tiptoeing to pray then when you go and do wudu you have to open the tap slowly you need to do wudu
00:12:10.880
what's the fard the fard is you do it one time yeah the hands is sunnah yeah okay then you know you
00:12:16.560
have to do it once usually after three times yeah that's the sunnah the fard is that you do it once
00:12:22.080
yeah that you're going to have to um do it once in shower yeah and then when you do wudu you know
00:12:29.520
you have to do it slowly so they don't hear it when you're praying when you're going to
00:12:33.760
sajda when you're reciting you're doing it all slowly all of it yeah now why am i mentioning this
00:12:39.680
to you guys born sisters the reason i'm mentioning this reason is because so you guys can understand
00:12:45.600
wallahi there's so many of you guys that your families are encouraging you to pray yeah they are
00:12:50.800
encouraging you to pray and you're not well that amazes me look at that there's people who are
00:12:56.960
struggling you know striving blood sweat and tears to pray they're striving to pray and and and and
00:13:04.800
they are under like you know that cctv surveillance cameras everything kind of stuff yeah and they are
00:13:09.200
still managing to pray so far look at some of you guys who are in muslim families your mom and your dad
00:13:14.880
they want you to pray and you're not praying look at our situation look at what we have to go through i'm
00:13:20.160
not trying to be a victim of like people feel sorry for me well i don't feel sorry for me i don't
00:13:23.360
want no one to feel sorry for me what i'm saying is think about it think about it people are getting
00:13:30.640
beaten up because they're praying by their family members getting kicked out their house
00:13:34.480
they're slapped in their face spat in their face yeah so what i'm trying to say to you guys is i want
00:13:40.160
you guys to benefit from this your salah yeah your salah worshipping allah subhanahu wa ta'ala some
00:13:46.320
people are dying they're dying to worship allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and some people are dying not
