00:00:00.000 Islam Net is raising funds to establish a masjid and community centre in Norway
00:00:03.720 and they urgently need your support.
00:00:05.600 This donation will be a sadaqah jarid for you
00:00:07.440 because every person that comes a step closer to Allah through your donation,
00:00:11.960 you will inshallah be reaping the reward.
00:00:13.240 Click the link and donate what you can.
00:00:17.520 Okay guys, salaamu alaikum wa alaikum wa alaikum wa barakatuh
00:00:19.320 to brothers and sisters and dear friends,
00:00:20.380 talk to you guys as well inshallah.
00:00:21.220 I'm here with Smile to Jannah.
00:00:24.880 Salaamu alaikum.
00:00:25.900 Wa alaikum wa salam.
00:00:26.480 I'm so tempted to say your name but I'm gonna smile.
00:00:28.840 Okay, alhamdulillah.
00:00:30.000 Thank you.
00:00:30.640 Okay, so there's been a video that's been going viral of this rapper called 6ix9ine and Neon.
00:00:35.540 Yeah, is it Neon?
00:00:36.220 I don't know anything about him, the brother.
00:00:38.120 I don't know.
00:00:38.400 I think I came in with him before.
00:00:40.040 But this video was going viral for the wrong reasons
00:00:42.440 and I feel like a lot of people, like you get those TikTok Muslims
00:00:45.040 and they follow the TikTok Islam, yeah?
00:00:47.320 It's become so distorted and warped, like they're rejecting Hadith.
00:00:50.020 But here, it's just as if like when someone says something and it sounds cool,
00:00:53.040 they're like, oh, that must be the haqq.
00:00:54.400 It doesn't work like that.
00:00:55.560 Let's watch the video because I found it very interesting
00:00:57.160 because I was like, what's he trying to say and what's Neon saying?
00:00:59.780 Because we do know Neon, obviously he's not claiming to be a person of dawah
00:01:02.980 or Islam knowledge, etc.
00:01:04.300 He doesn't have that knowledge.
00:01:05.520 But was what he's saying true or was what 6ix9ine is true?
00:01:09.000 Let's watch the first one.
00:01:09.520 Are you ready?
00:01:09.760 Does Allah accept that?
00:01:13.440 No, but I can't say anything because I'm Muslim and I do this shit on stream.
00:01:17.120 I promote this shit on stream.
00:01:18.440 So it's like, we can't be perfect.
00:01:20.680 All right, cool.
00:01:21.020 You can't be perfect.
00:01:21.820 But take that to Pakistan and see if they won't chop your head off.
00:01:26.120 Take that to Khabib.
00:01:27.620 Take that to Dagestan and play with their religion.
00:01:30.100 But he never said he was deep into the religion though.
00:01:31.820 It doesn't matter.
00:01:32.540 You can't be one foot in with God and another foot out.
00:01:37.260 I get what you're saying, but it's like...
00:01:38.940 Bro, if you believe in God, you're all the way with God or you're not with God at all.
00:01:44.080 That's not true because some people are trying to figure out what they want, who they are.
00:01:48.140 All right, if Khabib was right here...
00:01:50.000 Khabib is different, bro.
00:01:50.900 He's a full-on Muslim locked in.
00:01:53.280 He devoted his life to God.
00:01:54.080 All right, so these people are half in Muslims.
00:01:57.520 They're not...
00:01:57.880 I mean, he's Neon.
00:01:58.620 He's proving my point.
00:01:59.940 I mean, what do you make up?
00:02:00.840 Because I've got my whole...
00:02:02.080 I just want to run on it, yeah?
00:02:03.940 The first thing that he said that I was like,
00:02:06.300 what on earth is it going on about?
00:02:08.240 He said, okay, so if you're not perfect in your religion,
00:02:11.920 take that to Pakistan and they'll chop your head off.
00:02:15.380 What a stupid thing to say.
00:02:17.600 That doesn't even make any sense.
00:02:19.080 Like, what?
00:02:20.280 What are you talking about?
00:02:21.480 Are you trying to say that if you're not perfect in Pakistan,
00:02:25.200 they will kill you?
00:02:27.320 Where are you getting this from?
00:02:29.220 What does that even mean?
00:02:30.840 Firstly, Pakistan has secular law.
00:02:34.200 Yes, it's the Islamic Republic of Pakistan,
00:02:36.560 but they don't enforce Sharia law.
00:02:38.980 Secondly, if you're not perfect,
00:02:41.300 you're not going to be attacked in Pakistan
00:02:43.600 because a lot of Pakistanis are not perfect.
00:02:47.440 And thirdly, he then went on to say,
00:02:50.300 yeah, you can't have one foot in and one foot out.
00:02:53.700 Firstly, it's not binary.
00:02:55.540 It's not black and white, ones and zeros.
00:02:58.940 Islam is a journey.
00:03:01.220 When you accept Islam or you become practicing,
00:03:04.200 that's you starting your journey.
00:03:06.460 Yes, when you're starting your journey,
00:03:08.060 you shouldn't be exposing your sins and mistakes publicly.
00:03:11.580 You develop privately and you do your things.
00:03:15.220 And if there's something,
00:03:16.040 if you're an online personality,
00:03:17.440 then you don't say,
00:03:19.020 oh, I've got this opinion.
00:03:20.320 Just like you wouldn't talk about health issues
00:03:23.000 without your stream being affected
00:03:25.360 or you don't give any, you know,
00:03:27.880 lawyer advice, you know, advice on the law.
00:03:32.280 Islam is the same.
00:03:33.420 If you are not knowledgeable,
00:03:35.420 then don't talk about it authoritatively.
00:03:39.360 Yeah, you can obviously talk about
00:03:40.940 how it's affecting you and the likes,
00:03:42.420 but not authoritatively.
00:03:44.440 And yes, you can be on your journey
00:03:47.700 making mistakes or whatnot,
00:03:49.520 but not justifying those mistakes,
00:03:51.300 saying, you know what?
00:03:52.440 This is an issue that I have.
00:03:53.680 I'm on my journey.
00:03:54.960 If you have any advice from me,
00:03:56.420 I'm willing to hear it, blah, blah, blah.
00:03:58.380 But to say, no, no, no, no.
00:03:59.880 Either you're in,
00:04:00.940 either you're doing everything
00:04:02.120 or you're doing nothing.
00:04:03.760 No.
00:04:04.480 In other words, like,
00:04:05.480 oh, if so-and-so has a hijab on
00:04:07.540 and she's doing,
00:04:08.020 take the hijab off.
00:04:08.960 So-and-so's got a beard
00:04:09.820 and he's doing this,
00:04:10.580 shave the beard off.
00:04:11.780 No.
00:04:13.160 Some people start working on the outside
00:04:15.140 and then start working on the inside.
00:04:17.680 Some people start working on the inside
00:04:19.600 and then start working on the outside.
00:04:22.040 Different people,
00:04:22.900 yeah, different people are doing different things.
00:04:24.960 But this whole notion,
00:04:25.780 because I saw it as well,
00:04:27.840 that people are saying,
00:04:28.460 yeah, yeah, 6ix9ine knows Islam
00:04:29.920 more than this individual
00:04:31.080 and this and that.
00:04:31.820 No, this is the problem.
00:04:33.360 Even the non-Muslims that we speak to,
00:04:35.600 they accept the precepts of Islam
00:04:37.620 and even the fundamental points
00:04:41.780 of belief of Islam.
00:04:43.360 However, they say,
00:04:44.160 yeah, we don't think
00:04:44.960 we'll be able to do justice.
00:04:46.160 We don't think we'll be able
00:04:46.960 to give up alcohol and this and that.
00:04:49.320 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:04:50.540 no, this is not what Islam says,
00:04:53.480 that you have to be a finished product
00:04:55.540 for you to accept Islam.
00:04:56.900 No, Islam helps you become
00:04:59.080 the finished product.
00:05:00.180 Yeah, and you become a finished product
00:05:01.220 when you enter paradise.
00:05:02.400 And this is really important
00:05:03.320 because we know many hadith and narrations.
00:05:05.380 For example,
00:05:05.820 when Hatib ibn Abi Balta,
00:05:07.880 when he wrote a letter,
00:05:09.460 which was kind of seen as treason
00:05:10.800 or kind of spying,
00:05:11.860 which was not his intention,
00:05:13.300 you could have come and say,
00:05:14.240 wow, treachery, done.
00:05:15.260 He's, forget halfway,
00:05:16.400 one foot in, one foot out.
00:05:18.000 He's both feet out.
00:05:19.520 When you had, for example,
00:05:20.340 the Sahaba who would go
00:05:21.220 and drink alcohol.
00:05:22.280 What did the Prophet say
00:05:23.240 regarding Hatib ibn Abi Balta?
00:05:25.120 Umar ibn Khattab said,
00:05:26.180 oh, Meshav Allah,
00:05:26.760 let me take his head off.
00:05:27.920 But the Prophet ﷺ said,
00:05:29.860 no, for he indeed...
00:05:30.980 He said,
00:05:31.580 اِئْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ لَكَدْ وَجِبَتْ لَكُمُ الْجَنَّةِ
00:05:34.980 Which is?
00:05:36.360 That means,
00:05:37.440 oh, paraphrasing,
00:05:38.620 oh, Umar,
00:05:39.080 what do you know
00:05:39.760 that Allah has said
00:05:40.960 regarding the people of Badr
00:05:42.180 that I have forgiven you.
00:05:44.140 Exactly.
00:05:44.600 Do as you please.
00:05:45.220 And not only that,
00:05:45.980 subhanAllah, so profound,
00:05:46.800 not only that we had a companion
00:05:47.680 who would drink alcohol
00:05:48.440 and he would be caught
00:05:49.080 in front of the message of Allah.
00:05:50.500 He would be whipped in public.
00:05:51.740 And once one of the companions said,
00:05:53.100 may Allah curse you.
00:05:53.960 And the Prophet ﷺ got so angry
00:05:54.980 and said,
00:05:55.180 don't say that to him.
00:05:56.180 For indeed,
00:05:56.620 he loves Allah and his messenger.
00:05:58.180 This ideology,
00:05:59.300 this thought process of...
00:06:00.260 And I understand where 6ix9ine is coming from.
00:06:02.080 He's coming from a...
00:06:02.960 It's like he has a bit of a khairah over God
00:06:04.680 in the sense where he's like,
00:06:05.560 listen, don't violate God's law.
00:06:06.760 And this is the biggest trick of shaitan.
00:06:08.340 You know why?
00:06:08.860 Because maybe 6ix9ine,
00:06:09.940 this is the reason why
00:06:10.600 you're not becoming a Muslim
00:06:11.660 or accepting Islam
00:06:12.380 because you're thinking,
00:06:13.660 bro, I'm not ready to be fully in.
00:06:15.080 That's why I'm going to be fully out.
00:06:16.420 And we're seeing,
00:06:17.020 no, in Islam,
00:06:18.140 even if that means,
00:06:18.920 well, one toe in,
00:06:19.940 that's progress.
00:06:21.080 One toe in, bro,
00:06:22.380 is progress.
00:06:22.920 You know why?
00:06:23.420 Because that toe is going to
00:06:24.540 enter the whole body,
00:06:25.480 into that.
00:06:25.780 You know what's ironic?
00:06:27.300 I think Neon was saying,
00:06:28.240 oh, would you convert to Islam?
00:06:29.440 And his response to that was,
00:06:30.900 I'm Christian, bro.
00:06:33.020 So I saw that.
00:06:34.260 Well, if you're a Christian
00:06:35.360 and the things that you're doing,
00:06:36.180 well, it seems like
00:06:36.680 you're one foot in,
00:06:38.180 one foot out.
00:06:39.120 Yeah, good point.
00:06:40.160 Yeah, exactly.
00:06:41.000 So the thing,
00:06:41.400 no, it came from you.
00:06:42.220 So the point is what, guys?
00:06:43.200 That you need to understand,
00:06:44.280 this is the biggest trick of shaitan
00:06:45.340 and how does this relate to you
00:06:46.480 when you do sins?
00:06:48.140 Two wrongs don't make a right.
00:06:49.060 If a sister is not wearing the hijab,
00:06:50.660 we don't say to her,
00:06:51.320 don't pray salah.
00:06:52.280 If a brother is drinking alcohol,
00:06:54.580 we don't come and say to her,
00:06:55.660 don't do another deed
00:06:56.380 of helping your mom.
00:06:57.320 That's stupid.
00:06:58.200 Like what kind of,
00:06:58.760 three wrongs make a right,
00:07:00.300 innit?
00:07:02.180 Zishan, whose idea was it
00:07:03.080 to have you on this video?
00:07:04.660 I forget it.
00:07:06.000 Yes.
00:07:06.540 It looks like I'm one foot in,
00:07:08.020 you are one foot,
00:07:08.580 full body out.
00:07:09.960 Yes.
00:07:10.300 So in a nutshell,
00:07:11.240 look, Neon was right.
00:07:12.680 I'm so sorry.
00:07:13.720 What 6ix9ine said
00:07:14.680 might have sounded good
00:07:15.960 and no, no, no, sorry.
00:07:17.120 That is the trick of shaitan
00:07:18.500 to make you believe
00:07:19.300 you have to be perfect.
00:07:20.340 And in our religion,
00:07:21.440 Islam is for the sinners.
00:07:22.660 Look, without your respect,
00:07:23.180 let me tell you this.
00:07:23.920 The reason why I have a dawah table
00:07:25.280 in Leicester Square
00:07:25.820 where there's gambling,
00:07:27.620 they haven't got no intimacy
00:07:29.100 outside on the road.
00:07:29.820 What are you doing
00:07:30.320 on the dawah table?
00:07:31.100 Don't tell him.
00:07:31.660 Okay.
00:07:32.320 Yeah.
00:07:32.640 So gambling,
00:07:33.740 having intimacy outside on the roads,
00:07:36.080 drinking alcohol,
00:07:37.000 drugs,
00:07:37.660 you name it.
00:07:38.440 And we are there
00:07:39.260 because that is the people
00:07:40.620 that need Islam the most.
00:07:41.740 What should I do
00:07:42.240 in front of a masjid?
00:07:43.200 And call people
00:07:43.800 who are coming to Salah
00:07:44.400 back to Salah.
00:07:45.260 So you need to understand
00:07:46.080 Islam is there for the sinners
00:07:47.160 and the paradise
00:07:48.120 will be full of sinners.
00:07:49.440 Yes.
00:07:49.800 And in order for you
00:07:51.120 to get into paradise,
00:07:52.040 one foot needs to be in.
00:07:53.080 What is more likely
00:07:53.920 for you to enter paradise?
00:07:55.780 Would one foot in
00:07:56.440 or no foot in?
00:07:58.300 Something,
00:07:58.820 a progress has to be there.
00:07:59.800 And we know
00:08:00.480 the hadith of the Prophet
00:08:01.180 Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
00:08:01.880 he said,
00:08:02.420 Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said,
00:08:04.780 if mankind was not to sin,
00:08:06.480 God Almighty
00:08:07.060 would destroy them
00:08:07.840 and bring forth a nation
00:08:09.120 that sins
00:08:10.340 but repents.
00:08:11.660 Okay,
00:08:12.000 so which shows what?
00:08:13.260 God Almighty
00:08:13.780 does not want
00:08:14.560 sinless people.
00:08:15.900 The key here is what?
00:08:16.720 Not that he wants you to sin,
00:08:18.180 he's making you
00:08:18.840 acknowledge your sinner.
00:08:20.400 The key here is what?
00:08:21.720 Repent.
00:08:22.720 Bro,
00:08:22.960 if you don't sin,
00:08:23.840 how are you going to be
00:08:24.380 humble in front of God?
00:08:25.380 Why was Pharaoh
00:08:26.500 acting and saying,
00:08:27.680 I'm God?
00:08:28.320 Because he had money,
00:08:29.400 wealth, power,
00:08:30.020 everything.
00:08:30.480 He was saying,
00:08:30.800 I'm not God.
00:08:31.500 I don't need God.
00:08:32.540 He said,
00:08:32.880 I am your Lord most high.
00:08:35.320 The most high.
00:08:36.120 And guess what?
00:08:36.840 That's the reason why Allah
00:08:37.960 He became the most low.
00:08:39.420 Exactly.
00:08:40.060 Out of humility to us,
00:08:41.320 when I commit my sins,
00:08:42.480 I know how vulnerable I am,
00:08:44.220 how weak I am,
00:08:45.280 how violating my own soul
00:08:46.660 that I turn to my creator.
00:08:48.340 If I didn't do that,
00:08:49.020 I'll say,
00:08:49.260 what do I need?
00:08:50.300 For God,
00:08:50.780 for what?
00:08:51.140 I don't commit sins.
00:08:52.040 So Islam is not for the angels,
00:08:53.760 it's for the sinners.
00:08:54.560 And here,
00:08:54.940 neon is right,
00:08:55.880 rather than 6-9.
00:08:58.380 Why don't you come,
00:08:59.160 is there a rap here?
00:09:00.080 Yeah.
00:09:00.440 Then I need to rap.
00:09:01.060 Oh no.
00:09:01.600 6-9.
00:09:03.360 You need to come to the straight line.
00:09:08.000 The Dawah that I give is mine.
00:09:10.280 Then what?
00:09:10.940 The Dawah,
00:09:11.320 the Dawah,
00:09:11.640 the Dawah,
00:09:11.760 I'm not finished,
00:09:13.940 Rob.
00:09:14.300 The Dawah that I'm doing,
00:09:15.500 it's like the sun,
00:09:16.180 it's shine.
00:09:17.440 Shines.
00:09:19.020 You can't just take the ass out.
00:09:20.540 Wait,
00:09:20.780 listen,
00:09:21.060 listen.
00:09:21.360 I don't eat swine.
00:09:23.400 He doesn't.
00:09:24.540 I'm telling you,
00:09:25.280 he doesn't.
00:09:25.760 If I punch you in the face,
00:09:27.360 you have a broken spine.
00:09:29.620 That,
00:09:30.380 no,
00:09:31.020 no.
00:09:31.300 Me,
00:09:31.600 I don't commit a crime.
00:09:33.920 Okay.
00:09:34.360 I like lemonade with lime.
00:09:35.900 You actually do.
00:09:37.040 See,
00:09:37.680 I'm not lying.
00:09:39.100 You're not lying.
00:09:39.680 I'm not lying.
00:09:40.140 But how do you punch the face
00:09:41.760 and it breaks the spine?
00:09:42.700 Because I'm so powerful
00:09:43.480 and I knock people out.
00:09:46.720 We're powerful.
00:09:47.540 I was like,
00:09:47.860 how is it going to run that?
00:09:48.640 My name is Ali Needs Dawah.
00:09:51.240 When I give Dawah,
00:09:51.920 you feel the power.
00:09:52.780 Oh,
00:09:52.940 I like my chicken sweet and sour.
00:09:55.860 You smell so bad,
00:09:56.800 go have a shower.
00:09:57.540 I need to,
00:09:58.660 I think.
00:09:58.860 No,
00:09:59.000 I'm not talking to you.
00:09:59.660 Okay.
00:10:00.160 But if the shoe fits,
00:10:01.360 don't joke.
00:10:02.000 I'll take that shoe still.
00:10:04.200 Guys,
00:10:04.640 nothing else to be said.
00:10:05.180 Anything else you want to say?
00:10:05.860 Some big boy talk there,
00:10:06.580 you know?
00:10:06.980 As-salamu alaikum.
00:10:08.080 All right.
00:10:09.380 Thank you.
