Ali Dawah - REACTING TO HILARIOUS FAKE EX MUSLIM STORY

00:00:00.000 Asalaamu Alaikum

00:00:30.000 Brothers and sisters and dear friends

00:00:32.440 Before I start I want to praise Allah

00:00:33.640 The most merciful, the most just

00:00:35.480 Or praise His glory and gratitude

00:00:36.760 Belong to Him for the works that we do

00:00:38.160 We're in the house again

00:00:39.480 An environment where we

00:00:40.680 Have a nice mellow discussion

00:00:42.520 A calm discussion

00:00:43.440 This is mainly dedicated for our youngsters

00:00:45.540 Or the elders who are young at heart

00:00:47.840 Who are watching this as well

00:00:48.580 InshaAllah you are welcome to this house

00:00:49.800 InshaAllah we will be discussing

00:00:51.080 We're both the hosts

00:00:52.900 This doesn't belong to this

00:00:53.800 No no I'm the host

00:00:55.240 You're going to be there

00:00:56.300 Don't talk like that to me

00:00:57.080 No no no I'm the host

00:00:58.260 And where's the coffee

00:01:00.260 So we've got Mohammed Hijab

00:01:03.640 May Allah bless him inshaAllah

00:01:04.400 Is that your left hand?

00:01:05.240 Put that away

00:01:05.700 It's your right hand

00:01:06.180 Please sometimes you need

00:01:07.780 Knowledge to correct people

00:01:08.600 Who you do not know much

00:01:09.520 Anyways

00:01:10.480 Anyway so cutting the jokes

00:01:13.680 To a side

00:01:15.100 Yesterday actually

00:01:16.260 I messaged Mohammed

00:01:17.480 At I think midnight

00:01:18.720 I just came across this video

00:01:20.240 Funnily enough

00:01:21.220 I saw a picture of this person

00:01:22.780 And it looked very very familiar

00:01:25.020 To a brother that we know in the park

00:01:26.300 And it said

00:01:27.240 Why I converted to Christianity

00:01:29.760 And left Islam

00:01:30.440 And I was like

00:01:30.860 Whoa

00:01:31.140 I know this brother yeah

00:01:32.540 What's going on?

00:01:33.800 And it probably looks like him

00:01:34.660 Until I clicked the video

00:01:35.440 And I realised

00:01:36.020 That's not the brother

00:01:37.040 This is a person who is in America

00:01:38.580 Who claims

00:01:40.640 That he has left the fold of Islam

00:01:42.740 For Christianity

00:01:43.600 So what we're going to do

00:01:45.200 Is we're just going to watch it

00:01:45.860 React to it

00:01:46.500 And see what we can derive

00:01:47.400 From this

00:01:47.920 Because I think there's a lot of benefits

00:01:48.780 From this

00:01:49.140 Are you ready?

00:01:50.200 Okay brother and sister

00:01:51.300 Are you guys ready?

00:01:51.800 Let's go inshallah

00:01:52.320 Okay guys

00:01:55.700 Before the video starts

00:01:56.520 I did a bit of research

00:01:57.360 On this guy

00:01:57.880 So now

00:01:58.940 As you know

00:01:59.400 A lot of people

00:01:59.860 Lie

00:02:00.700 And there's this new trend

00:02:01.500 Of I'm an ex-Muslim

00:02:02.300 Kind of thing going on

00:02:03.100 So I asked this guy

00:02:04.500 I asked him

00:02:05.280 I said six prayers

00:02:06.960 Just to see if he knows it

00:02:07.740 So he came with a five

00:02:08.840 So as you can see here

00:02:09.840 Fajr

00:02:10.580 Dawn

00:02:11.420 Duhur

00:02:11.900 Noon

00:02:12.360 And then I asked him

00:02:14.220 About six pillars of Iman

00:02:15.500 Which he didn't know

00:02:16.180 Which is a bit odd

00:02:17.400 I asked if I can

00:02:19.080 Call him

00:02:19.920 He said

00:02:21.600 I'm good dude

00:02:22.100 I'm not here to entertain

00:02:22.800 The questions

00:02:23.140 I was skeptic

00:02:23.700 No problem

00:02:24.660 So I thought

00:02:25.460 Interesting

00:02:26.120 Okay here we go

00:02:26.840 He's put this really nice

00:02:28.540 And tidy

00:02:28.900 And it was very fast

00:02:30.160 The way he replied as well

00:02:31.000 So I thought

00:02:31.660 He's maybe on his prayers

00:02:32.600 He takes them very seriously

00:02:33.460 When he's a Muslim

00:02:33.980 So I went to Google

00:02:35.220 And typed

00:02:37.120 Five prayers

00:02:38.460 Of Islam

00:02:39.540 In English

00:02:40.100 And guess what

00:02:42.640 Check this out guys

00:02:44.000 So as you can see

00:02:46.260 Fajr

00:02:46.720 Duhun

00:02:47.300 Duhur

00:02:48.480 The noon

00:02:49.760 Asr

00:02:51.340 The afternoon

00:02:52.260 Maghrib

00:02:53.280 The sunset

00:02:54.040 Isha

00:02:54.620 Look at that

00:02:55.840 Even the comma there

00:02:56.800 Mashallah

00:02:57.340 Look at that

00:02:58.000 Now

00:02:58.980 We can watch the video

00:03:00.900 Now

00:03:01.240 And also find out

00:03:02.220 For ourself

00:03:03.020 If this story

00:03:04.340 Adds up

00:03:05.020 Yo what's good y'all

00:03:06.280 Thanks for tuning in

00:03:07.400 I'm Cyrus Speaks

00:03:08.320 And this is my testimony

00:03:10.020 As to how I converted

00:03:11.320 From Islam

00:03:12.240 To Christianity

00:03:13.440 So I know it's crazy

00:03:14.540 So I know it's crazy

00:03:14.560 Because a lot of people

00:03:15.460 That follow me

00:03:16.400 You know

00:03:16.940 Did not know

00:03:17.540 That I used to be a Muslim

00:03:18.360 Actually many of y'all

00:03:19.640 Who've been friends with me

00:03:20.520 For years even

00:03:21.480 Did not know

00:03:22.600 That I converted

00:03:23.960 To Christianity

00:03:24.920 So I thought it would be good

00:03:25.960 If I made a video

00:03:27.020 Giving my testimony

00:03:28.180 Explaining

00:03:28.860 How Jesus saved me

00:03:30.480 From Islam

00:03:31.600 And also

00:03:32.640 Why I have

00:03:33.860 Decided to continue

00:03:34.960 In Christianity

00:03:36.000 And in this faith

00:03:36.900 Okay

00:03:37.560 So basically

00:03:38.180 The first thing first

00:03:39.100 Is that he claims

00:03:43.000 That

00:03:43.740 Nobody knew this before

00:03:45.640 Yeah

00:03:45.900 So this is something

00:03:46.620 That's coming out

00:03:47.080 With new year

00:03:47.520 And funnily enough

00:03:48.720 I did a bit of research

00:03:50.320 On him

00:03:50.680 And I went to his Instagram

00:03:51.600 And I followed his

00:03:52.700 I looked at his post

00:03:53.420 From 2014

00:03:54.140 15

00:03:54.680 16

00:03:55.120 17

00:03:55.540 18

00:03:55.860 Why

00:03:56.240 I'll tell you why

00:03:58.280 I'll tell you why

00:03:58.660 I'll tell you why

00:03:59.760 I'm not trying to

00:04:01.880 Prejudge

00:04:02.280 But there's this thing

00:04:03.120 That evangelical Christians use

00:04:04.900 This is actually taught to them

00:04:05.880 And I will play a little clip

00:04:06.880 Of a well known

00:04:08.160 Islamophobe Christian

00:04:09.940 Speaker

00:04:11.240 Who's Jay Smith

00:04:11.940 He actually said this

00:04:12.920 That they were taught

00:04:14.240 To pretend that they were Muslims

00:04:16.220 Didn't he go to like

00:04:17.100 An African country

00:04:17.920 Yes yes yes

00:04:18.520 They actually pretended

00:04:19.580 And this has happened with

00:04:20.420 Some YouTubers as well

00:04:21.280 Pretending to be a Muslim

00:04:22.340 This is a part of their curriculum

00:04:23.960 If you can say

00:04:24.540 That they have to

00:04:25.860 Go inside the community

00:04:27.040 Know

00:04:27.680 Learn

00:04:28.140 And pretend that they left

00:04:29.440 The fold of Islam

00:04:30.120 Now what's funny with this chap

00:04:32.000 Is that basically

00:04:32.720 Like you know

00:04:34.880 What's funny with this

00:04:35.580 Is because I checked his Instagram

00:04:36.740 In 2014

00:04:38.320 He's a hardcore Christian

00:04:39.540 Like he's in the front line

00:04:41.180 2015

00:04:42.220 He's still going hard

00:04:43.260 16, 17, 18

00:04:44.600 He's just full on

00:04:45.520 He's doing these concerts

00:04:46.520 And things

00:04:46.860 So what came to my mind

00:04:48.260 Was at what part

00:04:49.120 Did you become a Muslim

00:04:50.080 Maybe 2012 brother

00:04:51.140 Let's keep listening

00:04:51.940 But anyway

00:04:52.700 So let's just

00:04:53.900 Let's just watch it

00:04:55.300 As a young boy

00:04:57.340 In elementary school

00:04:58.380 I took it upon myself

00:05:00.060 To start to learn

00:05:01.560 And research

00:05:02.180 As much as I could

00:05:03.320 About other religions

00:05:04.120 I was very interested

00:05:05.300 Very curious

00:05:06.160 Being absent of faith

00:05:07.660 I decided to start

00:05:08.940 Reading these different books

00:05:09.940 And then reading

00:05:10.660 These different books

00:05:11.420 From Judaism

00:05:13.380 To atheism

00:05:14.660 Christianity

00:05:15.620 Islam

00:05:16.600 The list goes on

00:05:17.540 And on and on

00:05:18.200 I ended up

00:05:19.840 Coming upon Islam

00:05:21.300 And to me

00:05:22.140 Islam made sense

00:05:23.360 It made sense to me

00:05:24.860 Because ultimately

00:05:26.740 Islam teaches

00:05:28.200 That you can get to heaven

00:05:30.100 Based off of

00:05:31.320 Your good works

00:05:32.080 And good deeds

00:05:32.640 Islam says

00:05:33.700 You have to do

00:05:35.460 Whereas Christianity says

00:05:37.900 Christ has done

00:05:39.680 Is that true?

00:05:41.000 There's some degree

00:05:41.680 Of truth in that

00:05:42.400 Obviously

00:05:43.440 There's two things

00:05:44.860 You have to understand

00:05:45.460 The Quran says

00:05:46.200 This is the Jannah

00:05:52.700 That you inherited

00:05:54.600 Because of what you did

00:05:55.760 But at the same time

00:05:57.720 We do believe

00:05:58.360 That the Prophet Muhammad

00:05:59.500 Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:05:59.820 Himself said

00:06:00.600 That actually

00:06:01.820 Jannah is obtained

00:06:02.760 Through the mercy

00:06:03.340 Of Allah

00:06:03.760 So whereas

00:06:05.280 We do believe

00:06:06.260 That actions

00:06:08.280 Have a big part

00:06:09.240 To play

00:06:09.660 In reaching Jannah

00:06:11.380 We ultimately say

00:06:12.520 That it's from

00:06:13.040 The mercy of Allah

00:06:13.820 What's interesting

00:06:15.540 In Christianity

00:06:15.960 They have something

00:06:16.420 Called

00:06:16.640 Sola Fide

00:06:17.260 Sola Fide

00:06:18.900 Is the idea

00:06:19.560 That so long

00:06:20.280 As you believe

00:06:20.980 And by the way

00:06:22.060 This is exclusive

00:06:23.780 To Protestantism

00:06:25.060 Sola Fide

00:06:26.300 Is the idea

00:06:26.920 That so long

00:06:27.680 As you believe

00:06:28.820 That Christ

00:06:30.180 Has died for your sins

00:06:31.380 Then almost

00:06:33.040 You could say

00:06:33.780 That's what's required

00:06:35.140 So it's your belief

00:06:36.760 That's required

00:06:38.260 And in Islam

00:06:38.940 We had a group

00:06:39.500 Very similar to this

00:06:40.360 Called the Murgia

00:06:41.040 Who actually said

00:06:43.180 That the belief

00:06:44.140 Was the most important thing

00:06:47.180 And all the actions

00:06:48.160 Are not actually important

00:06:49.020 Whatsoever

00:06:49.640 So there is some degree

00:06:50.760 Of truth in that

00:06:51.920 But generally speaking

00:06:53.660 Muslims do believe

00:06:54.340 In individual responsibility

00:06:55.520 So to reconcile that

00:06:56.700 Because there is a hadith

00:06:57.280 Of the Prophet

00:06:57.680 Who said that

00:06:58.920 A man will come

00:06:59.460 On the day of judgment

00:07:00.140 And he would say to Allah

00:07:02.520 Oh Allah

00:07:02.880 I want to enter paradise

00:07:03.680 With my good deeds

00:07:04.400 So Allah takes

00:07:05.440 If I'm not mistaken

00:07:06.380 His eye

00:07:06.900 And weighs it on the scales

00:07:07.860 And his good deeds

00:07:08.860 And it's just to give him

00:07:10.380 A message

00:07:11.220 That basically

00:07:11.980 You cannot

00:07:12.940 The good deeds that you do

00:07:14.200 It cannot even equate

00:07:15.680 To the eye

00:07:16.360 The blessing of the eye

00:07:17.180 That you can see with

00:07:17.940 So at this moment

00:07:19.060 The man said

00:07:19.520 Look Allah

00:07:20.020 Enter me to paradise

00:07:21.320 With your mercy

00:07:21.880 So to reconcile that

00:07:23.720 Just because Allah's mercy

00:07:24.840 Is there

00:07:25.140 Does not mean

00:07:25.660 We do not put actions

00:07:26.500 Forward to work

00:07:27.340 Yeah and this is a criticism

00:07:28.520 Of Christianity in a sense

00:07:29.460 Because Christianity says that

00:07:31.100 Adam came

00:07:32.080 As a result of his sin

00:07:34.000 You have original sin

00:07:34.960 And then Jesus came

00:07:36.580 And now he got rid of that sin

00:07:38.940 So a human being becomes

00:07:40.680 Devoid of individual responsibility

00:07:42.940 Because it's almost as if

00:07:44.060 One person gives him a sin

00:07:45.860 Another person takes that sin away

00:07:48.220 All he has to do is believe

00:07:49.140 In the story

00:07:49.940 Exactly

00:07:50.240 And that's the reason why

00:07:51.180 Sadly today

00:07:51.860 For example

00:07:52.460 You have some Christians

00:07:53.900 Or a lot of Christians

00:07:54.880 Who go down the route

00:07:56.160 Of doing certain things

00:07:57.660 That are wrong

00:07:58.240 And they say

00:07:58.640 Look Jesus died for my sins

00:07:59.720 And one of the things

00:08:00.660 That we use in Islam

00:08:01.340 Just to move forward

00:08:01.980 Is that in Islam

00:08:03.720 We believe Allah

00:08:05.020 Is the most merciful

00:08:05.620 He's the most loving

00:08:07.060 And just

00:08:07.880 So we believe

00:08:09.460 That mercy and love

00:08:10.460 If we understand

00:08:11.200 What that means

00:08:11.800 That means that

00:08:12.800 Allah tells us

00:08:13.520 That oh son of Adam

00:08:14.420 The prophet

00:08:15.200 Told us

00:08:16.320 That Allah said

00:08:17.360 If your sins reach

00:08:18.460 The heavens and the skies

00:08:19.400 I will forgive you

00:08:20.260 As long as you do not

00:08:21.080 Worship partners with me

00:08:21.940 So Allah is saying

00:08:23.180 All I require from the sinner

00:08:24.600 Is for him to repent

00:08:25.640 To acknowledge that

00:08:26.260 He has a law

00:08:26.700 That's all forgiven

00:08:27.360 And turn to me

00:08:28.600 However in Christianity

00:08:30.200 What is required

00:08:31.640 And a lot of Christians

00:08:32.160 Say to this

00:08:32.600 A blood sacrifice

00:08:33.920 Is required

00:08:34.580 So what we say

00:08:35.700 Is that

00:08:36.080 If a God is really

00:08:37.100 Because they talk about

00:08:37.840 God is love and mercy

00:08:38.700 God is love and mercy

00:08:40.580 We need to understand

00:08:41.560 That if God is really

00:08:42.400 Love and mercy

00:08:42.980 He will choose

00:08:43.560 The innocent person

00:08:44.380 To die

00:08:44.920 His own son

00:08:45.420 To be blood

00:08:45.920 Not only that

00:08:46.660 Sacrifice blood

00:08:47.560 They say we need blood

00:08:48.480 And we're like

00:08:48.900 Whoa

00:08:49.140 God can forgive

00:08:50.200 Moving forward

00:08:51.100 On our behalf

00:08:52.440 So to me

00:08:54.080 Islam made sense

00:08:55.180 Islam says

00:08:55.840 You are not born into sin

00:08:57.420 It says you become a sinner

00:08:58.980 I was living with my mother

00:09:00.560 And my stepfather

00:09:01.460 It caused so much friction

00:09:02.840 In the household

00:09:03.520 Because they were Christians

00:09:04.580 And I disagreed with Christianity

00:09:06.060 It caused a lot of conflict

00:09:07.860 And I actually moved out

00:09:09.700 To live with my eldest sister

00:09:12.160 And her husband

00:09:13.160 And they were Muslims

00:09:14.780 So

00:09:15.060 Okay so this is something

00:09:16.040 Similar to what I personally

00:09:16.940 Went through as well

00:09:17.460 When I came to Islam

00:09:18.200 My dad had a big problem

00:09:19.480 With it

00:09:19.760 That I had to leave

00:09:20.680 And you know

00:09:21.500 A lot of brothers told me

00:09:22.200 So I relate with

00:09:22.900 Where it was coming from

00:09:23.620 If this really happened

00:09:24.980 Fast forward a few years later

00:09:26.920 I'm living with my sister

00:09:28.040 And her husband

00:09:28.720 And I'm in school

00:09:31.040 And literally

00:09:31.920 It is the last day of school

00:09:33.660 This school was out

00:09:34.700 And I ended up getting

00:09:36.400 I ended up getting into a fight

00:09:37.880 I actually got jumped

00:09:38.900 So after I got jumped

00:09:40.040 I went home

00:09:41.220 To call some friends of mine

00:09:43.160 My eldest sister

00:09:44.060 She saw me calling my homies

00:09:45.820 And she knew

00:09:46.340 It was about to be some drama

00:09:47.340 So she's telling me

00:09:48.920 You ain't about to bring

00:09:49.680 No drama to my house

00:09:51.120 I ain't about to have

00:09:52.280 No hood dudes in my house

00:09:53.920 Trying to make stuff pop off

00:09:55.360 Literally while we're arguing

00:09:57.160 A knock comes at the door

00:09:59.080 We open the door

00:10:01.260 And what do you know

00:10:02.720 It's this white Christian dude

00:10:05.140 At the door

00:10:05.760 And I say that

00:10:07.260 Because at the time

00:10:08.100 I was really dealing

00:10:08.960 With racism as well

00:10:10.060 So my sister decides

00:10:11.500 To invite him in

00:10:12.600 I don't know why

00:10:13.480 She's a Muslim

00:10:14.260 I'm a Muslim

00:10:14.940 We don't like Christians

00:10:16.020 Whatever

00:10:16.700 But she invites him in

00:10:17.760 Whoa

00:10:18.280 Hold on a second there

00:10:19.380 He says

00:10:20.100 She's a Muslim

00:10:20.920 Her sister

00:10:21.480 I'm a Muslim

00:10:22.680 And we don't like Christians

00:10:24.360 Just in a nutshell

00:10:27.140 Are we taught

00:10:28.040 Like to have hatred

00:10:29.840 Maybe it's just his experience

00:10:31.120 I don't think

00:10:31.660 He made the claim

00:10:32.580 That he's taught

00:10:33.160 He was taught that from Islam

00:10:34.160 Okay

00:10:34.400 Because he said

00:10:35.080 He was dealing with racists

00:10:36.000 Okay but some people

00:10:36.880 That might watch that

00:10:37.580 Might think that we as Muslims

00:10:38.760 Just to clarify

00:10:39.280 Do we

00:10:39.680 No we're taught

00:10:40.700 We're taught to co-exist

00:10:42.000 As it says in chapter 60

00:10:43.680 Verse 8

00:10:44.220 As you know

00:10:44.740 And many parts of the Quran

00:10:46.380 They're not alike

00:10:48.040 Yeah and in the Quran

00:10:49.220 In the Quran it says

00:10:50.080 They're not all alike

00:10:51.420 There's different kinds

00:10:52.160 Christians and the Jews

00:10:53.580 Okay so we are not taught

00:10:54.800 So we don't know

00:10:55.300 Where he got that from

00:10:55.920 Personal experience

00:10:56.560 He said himself

00:10:57.480 He's gone through

00:10:58.380 Some experiences

00:10:59.180 Yeah

00:10:59.520 So he's telling us

00:11:02.340 How he and some of his church members

00:11:04.680 Have decided

00:11:05.320 Since it is now

00:11:06.200 The last day of school

00:11:07.120 And now technically a summer

00:11:08.440 That he and his staff

00:11:10.020 Would invite some of the youth

00:11:11.500 In our neighborhood

00:11:12.560 And close by neighborhoods

00:11:13.840 Over to his house

00:11:15.440 My sister pressured me to go

00:11:17.400 Because she said

00:11:18.260 You are not about to be

00:11:19.300 Getting into some drama

00:11:20.220 You need to go somewhere

00:11:21.260 Where there's some positivity

00:11:22.540 Hold on a second

00:11:24.060 You get kicked out

00:11:26.080 You go to your sister's house

00:11:27.920 Your sister's a Muslim

00:11:29.100 The door knocks

00:11:30.280 You go into a fight

00:11:31.000 The door knocks

00:11:31.640 A group of Christian pastors come

00:11:33.500 And your sister says

00:11:35.000 And they're inviting you

00:11:36.040 To go to maybe a church

00:11:37.920 Wherever

00:11:38.120 And your sister says

00:11:38.800 Okay you need to go to

00:11:39.960 Somewhere with positivity

00:11:40.800 Go to the church

00:11:42.200 I'm just saying

00:11:45.880 As a Muslim

00:11:46.520 It's conceivable

00:11:48.080 Or inconceivable

00:11:51.520 No for

00:11:51.960 You know

00:11:52.740 Let's take his word for it

00:11:53.860 Because

00:11:54.300 Shirk is the highest

00:11:55.720 Not that anything

00:11:56.460 But to take you to a place

00:11:57.560 Come on

00:11:58.060 Anyways

00:11:58.880 Argument's sake

00:11:59.760 Maybe

00:12:00.560 So I'm at this guy's house

00:12:03.440 And I'm looking around

00:12:04.800 It's like

00:12:05.280 All these Christians

00:12:06.140 I had never been around

00:12:07.540 This many young Christians

00:12:08.720 Before in my life

00:12:09.520 Especially of different

00:12:10.620 Ethnicities

00:12:11.360 Races

00:12:11.940 You know

00:12:12.600 Just

00:12:12.920 You know

00:12:13.340 So on and so forth

00:12:14.280 And they chilling

00:12:15.220 We eating food

00:12:16.180 We chopping it up

00:12:16.980 We laughing

00:12:17.600 And

00:12:18.620 Almost out of nowhere

00:12:20.000 A couple hours goes by

00:12:21.340 And then this dude

00:12:22.500 Is just like

00:12:23.320 Hey y'all

00:12:24.040 We're gonna go ahead

00:12:24.760 And turn some worship music on

00:12:26.280 And start worshiping the Lord

00:12:27.660 I'm like

00:12:28.980 Bro

00:12:29.320 What

00:12:29.820 Worship who

00:12:30.820 Like I'm like

00:12:31.760 Man

00:12:32.300 See this is why

00:12:32.960 I can't fool with y'all

00:12:33.840 Church folk

00:12:34.360 Y'all Christians

00:12:34.940 Y'all always want to worship

00:12:36.520 And talk about Jesus

00:12:37.960 It's like

00:12:38.460 I'm trying to have some good food

00:12:39.820 I'm trying to have some good time

00:12:41.240 It was a couple girls up in there

00:12:42.680 I was checking them out

00:12:43.840 I was checking them out

00:12:44.600 So the crazy part

00:12:45.340 Come on man

00:12:47.260 I'm sorry

00:12:47.620 You might tell him

00:12:48.120 I've been nitpicking

00:12:48.700 Yeah

00:12:48.940 But as a Muslim

00:12:49.880 Checking out girls

00:12:50.920 Yeah but he might have been doing it

00:12:52.220 Just doing a sin

00:12:53.420 No problem

00:12:54.080 You know what

00:12:54.580 We're gonna give him that excuse to

00:12:56.000 The first part

00:12:56.900 About him saying

00:12:57.560 We're gonna start worshiping

00:12:58.680 Was that

00:12:59.540 He turned on some music

00:13:01.020 And it was like

00:13:02.020 Some weird hippie music

00:13:03.560 I mean

00:13:03.780 It was contemporary

00:13:04.580 Christian music

00:13:05.640 With like an acoustic guitar

00:13:06.980 But I ain't never heard that

00:13:08.440 The only gospel music

00:13:10.080 I had ever heard

00:13:11.080 Was like

00:13:11.740 That gospel music

00:13:13.260 So I'm thinking like

00:13:14.040 What is this weird

00:13:15.020 Hippie

00:13:16.080 We love you Jesus

00:13:17.480 You know just

00:13:18.140 You know the weird voice

00:13:19.000 And I'm like man

00:13:19.620 What is this that's going on

00:13:21.100 What was really crazy to me though

00:13:22.720 Was that

00:13:23.460 All of the people in there

00:13:25.040 All of the kids

00:13:25.980 The young adults

00:13:26.760 Literally began to worship Jesus

00:13:28.820 Intimately

00:13:29.540 Personally

00:13:30.360 Like they knew him personally

00:13:31.640 Like some would be dancing

00:13:33.120 Some were singing a song

00:13:34.520 Some were down on their knees

00:13:36.080 Crying

00:13:36.800 Some were sitting down

00:13:38.440 Like literally

00:13:39.380 Everyone was just worshiping

00:13:40.840 And talking to Jesus privately

00:13:42.620 And I had never seen that before

00:13:44.520 So you know

00:13:45.760 I'm like whatever

00:13:46.320 You know

00:13:46.580 I'm trying to face towards Mecca

00:13:47.780 Because you know

00:13:48.280 Islam

00:13:48.700 You're supposed to face towards Mecca

00:13:50.160 Come on bro

00:13:50.960 I'm not buying it now

00:13:52.000 I'm not buying it now

00:13:53.340 You're in a room

00:13:54.320 People are starting to worship Jesus

00:13:56.680 No problem

00:13:57.120 That's their faith

00:13:57.560 They can do it

00:13:58.120 And I say

00:13:59.860 I as a Muslim

00:14:00.660 At that moment

00:14:01.320 Face towards Mecca

00:14:02.280 You face towards Mecca to pray

00:14:05.140 You don't just say

00:14:05.780 Okay people are doing this

00:14:06.640 Which way is Mecca

00:14:07.360 Okay

00:14:07.640 I'm just gonna

00:14:08.780 Okay I'm just gonna stand

00:14:09.820 It doesn't add up

00:14:11.240 I'm sorry

00:14:11.540 For now

00:14:11.980 You've been given a lot of excuses

00:14:13.380 And I've took it on board

00:14:14.120 Yeah

00:14:14.280 But someone's doing something

00:14:15.900 And then all of a sudden

00:14:16.540 I go as a Muslim

00:14:17.320 We have never been taught

00:14:19.000 Okay if you're in a crowd

00:14:19.880 That something happens

00:14:20.440 Turn towards Mecca

00:14:21.080 The most were told it

00:14:21.860 Leave the environment

00:14:22.580 And go away

00:14:23.120 It doesn't make sense to me

00:14:24.960 I'm being honest

00:14:25.420 Mecca

00:14:25.760 When you pray

00:14:26.960 Probably about 10 minutes

00:14:27.920 Went by

00:14:28.760 And the presence of God

00:14:30.780 Filled this man's living room

00:14:32.880 And I'm not usually a person

00:14:34.360 That talks about like

00:14:35.200 Feeling type stuff

00:14:36.160 Or spiritual stuff

00:14:37.060 In that way

00:14:37.500 But there is no other way

00:14:38.680 To explain or describe it

00:14:40.040 Than the presence of God

00:14:41.100 Literally

00:14:41.880 One thing

00:14:43.200 I'm being very critical here

00:14:44.480 He said

00:14:45.260 The presence of God

00:14:46.360 Came into the room

00:14:47.100 What do you define

00:14:48.600 As the presence of God

00:14:49.520 And how do you know

00:14:50.260 It's the presence of God

00:14:51.140 Because

00:14:51.780 How do you come to that

00:14:53.100 Because this is an argument

00:14:53.840 A lot of people use

00:14:55.020 It's a subjective experience of

00:14:56.640 Okay what makes you believe

00:14:58.260 Your faith is true

00:14:59.000 It changed my life

00:15:00.040 But okay

00:15:00.520 I as a Muslim can say

00:15:01.680 You know what

00:15:02.100 I came to Islam

00:15:03.100 And it dramatically changed my life

00:15:04.320 A Buddhist

00:15:04.960 A Satan worshipper

00:15:05.860 A Christian

00:15:06.400 A Jew

00:15:06.800 And a seeker

00:15:07.360 Come and say

00:15:07.780 You know what

00:15:08.240 My life was changed

00:15:09.360 It's not an argument

00:15:10.260 Let alone to perceive

00:15:11.720 And say

00:15:12.240 That God's

00:15:14.020 What did he say

00:15:15.320 God's

00:15:16.160 He felt the presence

00:15:17.480 The presence

00:15:18.340 How do you know

00:15:19.400 It was God's presence

00:15:20.180 And not for example

00:15:21.260 Something else

00:15:22.680 Okay

00:15:23.020 I can see what you say

00:15:24.140 I would add to that

00:15:25.060 And say

00:15:25.400 It's fine to have

00:15:27.000 Like you said

00:15:27.520 A subjective experience

00:15:29.400 Which is religious

00:15:31.360 And as you correctly said

00:15:34.720 I think that's actually

00:15:36.060 A very important part

00:15:36.780 Of religion as well

00:15:37.420 Like you had that as well

00:15:38.360 When people go to Mecca

00:15:39.740 And they go to Hajj

00:15:40.480 I think it's very powerful

00:15:41.440 When I went to the Kaaba

00:15:43.560 And I saw the Kaaba

00:15:44.320 For the first time

00:15:45.120 It was something

00:15:46.360 Profound

00:15:47.080 Profound

00:15:47.880 I went to Amra

00:15:49.000 And it's something for me

00:15:50.960 Which was

00:15:51.460 Self-revealing

00:15:53.680 If you like

00:15:54.080 But

00:15:54.300 I don't think

00:15:56.500 This is the beautiful thing

00:15:58.420 About Islam

00:15:58.940 It combines between

00:16:00.860 The spiritual aspect

00:16:02.380 And the rational aspect

00:16:03.360 And that's what I love about it

00:16:04.580 Right

00:16:04.980 So if there is a spiritual

00:16:06.860 If there's something

00:16:08.380 Very spiritual about Islam

00:16:09.320 But it's on a foundation

00:16:11.120 Which is very shaky

00:16:12.000 Or irrational

00:16:13.920 Then

00:16:15.020 It's like building castles

00:16:16.620 On sand

00:16:17.140 Right

00:16:17.780 Or on thin air even

00:16:19.020 You can't build castles

00:16:20.340 On thin air

00:16:20.920 You have to have

00:16:21.700 A very firm

00:16:22.540 And solid foundation

00:16:23.460 And this is the beautiful

00:16:25.220 Thing about Islam

00:16:25.800 Because it's premised

00:16:27.320 On Tawheed

00:16:28.220 On the idea of

00:16:29.580 One God

00:16:30.380 On the idea of

00:16:31.840 One and only

00:16:32.920 Al-Ahad

00:16:33.760 Which of course

00:16:35.500 Is contrary to

00:16:36.580 Christianity

00:16:37.060 Which believes in

00:16:37.780 One and three

00:16:38.360 And three and one

00:16:39.080 Which is a self-contradiction

00:16:40.580 It goes against

00:16:41.780 The law of contradiction

00:16:42.540 It actually goes against

00:16:43.800 The law of contradiction

00:16:45.180 So no matter

00:16:46.200 What spiritual experience

00:16:47.280 You're going to have

00:16:47.780 Thereafter

00:16:48.320 You cannot

00:16:50.000 Fill the gaping hole

00:16:51.620 Which is

00:16:52.160 The intellectual base

00:16:53.500 Of Christianity

00:16:54.040 Exactly

00:16:54.540 You can't do it

00:16:55.200 And that's what's beautiful

00:16:55.840 Like one thing

00:16:57.020 That I personally

00:16:57.440 Love about Islam

00:16:58.020 So I'm trying to figure out

00:16:59.020 What it is

00:16:59.400 I'm thinking like

00:16:59.940 No I'm tripping

00:17:00.760 They put something

00:17:01.980 In the food

00:17:02.440 They don't spike the food

00:17:03.540 And I'm like

00:17:04.440 Okay maybe that's not it

00:17:05.420 Okay maybe it's my

00:17:06.380 Adrenaline

00:17:06.980 Since I got jumped earlier

00:17:08.320 I'm like maybe

00:17:09.400 It's this weird

00:17:10.400 Hipster music

00:17:11.480 That they have playing

00:17:12.560 So I'm trying to figure out

00:17:13.440 What it is

00:17:14.220 But I couldn't

00:17:15.220 So eventually

00:17:16.660 I got up

00:17:17.580 Left out of that man's

00:17:18.840 Living room

00:17:19.220 Went in his guest restroom

00:17:20.340 Closed the door

00:17:21.480 And immediately

00:17:22.320 Started blaspheming

00:17:23.620 And cursing the name

00:17:24.420 Of Jesus

00:17:24.880 Okay

00:17:27.000 He's in the room

00:17:28.200 He feels God's presence

00:17:29.500 If you feel God's presence

00:17:30.900 That should have a

00:17:31.420 Positive impact on you

00:17:32.720 Not a negative one

00:17:33.560 He decides to go

00:17:34.480 To the guest room

00:17:35.320 And in the guest room

00:17:35.900 He says I started

00:17:36.540 Cursing Jesus' name

00:17:37.400 Come on man

00:17:39.120 I'm being honest with you

00:17:39.880 I'm not here to mock anybody

00:17:41.120 I'm genuinely not mocking this person

00:17:42.140 No but why do you do that

00:17:43.420 One second

00:17:43.900 Number one

00:17:44.280 Are we allowed to curse other people

00:17:45.360 Look let alone curse other deities

00:17:47.560 Which we're not allowed

00:17:48.360 Allah has told us we're not allowed

00:17:49.560 Not only that you can be sinful

00:17:50.820 Because we know

00:17:51.460 That we are taught

00:17:52.160 If I insult your mum

00:17:53.260 I'm sinning

00:17:54.260 Of course Jesus is a prophet right

00:17:55.560 Yes

00:17:56.460 I'm going to come to that

00:17:57.300 Yeah

00:17:57.460 If I insult your mum

00:17:58.960 And if I've caused you

00:18:00.060 To insult my mum

00:18:00.780 I get the sin

00:18:01.900 When you're cursing

00:18:03.100 Somebody else's deity

00:18:04.420 Let alone a prophet of God

00:18:07.100 Come on man

00:18:08.540 If anyone curses a prophet of God

00:18:09.760 Then they've left the fold of them

00:18:11.160 Come on

00:18:11.440 You're a Muslim

00:18:12.020 You went to another room

00:18:12.980 You felt the presence of God

00:18:14.060 And you go to another room

00:18:15.720 And start cursing your own prophet

00:18:16.980 This guy

00:18:17.440 He seems to have

00:18:19.700 Either

00:18:20.160 To be fair

00:18:21.100 We've been trying to

00:18:22.300 Be fair to him

00:18:22.840 You have been

00:18:23.600 And I've been through a critical

00:18:24.820 It doesn't happen

00:18:25.600 But no

00:18:25.980 It's not about adding up

00:18:27.680 Maybe what he was upon

00:18:28.620 Was not Islam

00:18:29.320 Maybe he didn't actually

00:18:30.360 Because if he feels like cursing

00:18:32.240 Because what it seems like

00:18:33.060 He's saying is that

00:18:33.700 Because he was in that environment

00:18:34.980 Yeah

00:18:35.580 Where they're all kind of

00:18:36.620 Chanting Jesus' name

00:18:37.820 And to counter that

00:18:38.680 He went and started cursing Jesus

00:18:40.560 You don't do that

00:18:41.260 So his understanding of Islam

00:18:43.220 Must have been at best

00:18:44.460 Dangerous

00:18:45.060 No

00:18:45.480 At best

00:18:46.700 A very ignorant one

00:18:48.160 Right

00:18:48.560 Maybe

00:18:48.740 So he thought

00:18:49.960 I'm going to beg to differ

00:18:51.020 And say

00:18:51.440 I totally don't believe this story

00:18:52.980 Like we've all due respect

00:18:53.960 But let's carry on

00:18:54.640 This is nearly finished anyway

00:18:55.520 It's not the son of Allah

00:18:56.980 That Allah does not have children

00:18:58.920 That Jesus is just

00:19:00.280 The prophet

00:19:00.760 Not even as great

00:19:01.520 As the great prophet Muhammad

00:19:02.780 Like I'm saying

00:19:03.660 All of these things

00:19:04.660 That I have been

00:19:05.660 Studied and raised up

00:19:07.440 Within Islam

00:19:08.320 To believe

00:19:09.160 And about five minutes

00:19:11.960 Goes by

00:19:12.660 And I feel

00:19:14.160 The presence of God

00:19:15.440 Feel this man's living room

00:19:17.660 Like just feel

00:19:18.640 This man's house

00:19:19.520 And I'm on the floor

00:19:21.020 Crying

00:19:21.860 Weeping

00:19:22.620 Under the presence of God

00:19:24.500 I just want to say one thing

00:19:25.300 It's really interesting though

00:19:26.340 Like

00:19:26.700 To be fair

00:19:27.720 Two things I want to add

00:19:29.660 Who becomes Muslim

00:19:31.620 And who leaves Islam

00:19:32.640 Yes

00:19:32.880 Because

00:19:33.800 The thing is

00:19:35.360 At the time of the prophet

00:19:36.160 There were people

00:19:36.600 That became Muslim

00:19:37.280 And left Islam

00:19:37.920 We're not denying the fact

00:19:39.480 That apostasy happens

00:19:40.360 And we shouldn't deny that

00:19:41.800 And we're not denying

00:19:42.420 Individual experiences

00:19:43.660 Those things happen

00:19:45.140 Right

00:19:45.420 Allah has

00:19:47.260 Has

00:19:48.260 You know

00:19:48.860 Has a message for those people

00:19:50.280 For those individuals

00:19:58.440 If they really did

00:19:59.540 Come out of Islam

00:20:00.340 If they said

00:20:04.940 The kalimat al-kufra

00:20:06.140 And they came out of Islam

00:20:06.840 If they come back

00:20:07.760 Allah will

00:20:08.360 He will forgive them

00:20:10.300 And if they turn away

00:20:12.080 He will punish them

00:20:13.340 In this world

00:20:13.840 And the hereafter

00:20:14.440 Apostasy happens

00:20:15.660 Yes

00:20:16.120 And Allah has certain

00:20:17.360 Methodology

00:20:18.880 With those individuals

00:20:19.600 That apostate

00:20:20.680 As in surat al-tawbah

00:20:21.680 However

00:20:22.880 What I wanted to say

00:20:23.800 Is that

00:20:24.100 Number one

00:20:24.560 It doesn't mean anything

00:20:25.540 If people come into Islam

00:20:27.120 Or come out of Islam

00:20:28.700 Whether Islam is the fastest

00:20:29.880 Growing religion

00:20:30.540 Which it is

00:20:31.160 Pew says that

00:20:32.900 By the way

00:20:33.860 Six million people

00:20:34.940 Become Muslim

00:20:35.800 Every single year

00:20:36.780 Six million

00:20:38.500 That's way more than Christianity

00:20:39.680 In terms of conversion only

00:20:40.840 Conversion only

00:20:41.900 That's how they estimate it

00:20:42.920 So in terms of conversion

00:20:44.360 Islam is doing the best

00:20:46.320 In terms of conversion

00:20:47.380 If you don't

00:20:48.420 Kind of

00:20:49.140 Take atheism into consideration

00:20:50.600 But that doesn't mean anything

00:20:53.220 Whether it's

00:20:53.780 People are converting to Islam

00:20:55.080 Whether there's one Muslim

00:20:56.460 Or a billion Muslims

00:20:57.940 Or three Muslims

00:20:59.140 Whatever it may be

00:21:00.140 It doesn't matter

00:21:00.720 Or people are leaving Islam

00:21:02.640 Or people are coming into Islam

00:21:03.620 The truth is the truth

00:21:04.340 And so what I find really striking

00:21:05.900 About conversion stories

00:21:06.940 Which Christians

00:21:08.160 That have become Muslim

00:21:10.140 Is that it's usually quite rational

00:21:11.560 They talk about the Trinity

00:21:12.920 And how they've come to realise

00:21:14.140 That in the Trinity

00:21:14.660 The Father

00:21:15.560 The Son

00:21:15.900 The Holy Spirit

00:21:16.500 If you ask a Christian

00:21:18.860 Is the Father God

00:21:19.960 He'll say yes

00:21:20.380 The Son God

00:21:21.180 Yes

00:21:21.420 The Holy Spirit

00:21:22.120 Yes

00:21:22.620 But they're not the same

00:21:23.160 They're all one God

00:21:24.200 That's a contradiction

00:21:26.600 Most Christians

00:21:27.300 Can't fathom and live with

00:21:28.640 So it's very rational

00:21:29.940 And that's how they become Muslim

00:21:31.120 You're totally right

00:21:33.140 You hit the nail on the head

00:21:33.920 My issue is not that

00:21:35.000 My problem is this

00:21:35.860 That it's sad

00:21:37.380 Because right now

00:21:38.260 What we've seen

00:21:38.640 Is because Islam is growing

00:21:39.660 Missionary tactics

00:21:41.380 Are going down the route

00:21:42.660 Of lying and deceiving

00:21:44.460 That they were something

00:21:45.600 When they were not

00:21:46.260 That's the problem that I have

00:21:47.620 If I heard this

00:21:48.480 And the guy said

00:21:48.900 You know what

00:21:49.340 I genuinely

00:21:50.220 This is what happened

00:21:51.920 I would understand

00:21:53.040 But the way he's going about

00:21:54.120 And there's simple things

00:21:55.160 In Islam that you don't do

00:21:56.000 That he's doing

00:21:56.500 And saying

00:21:56.860 It doesn't add up to me

00:21:58.800 That's what I'm saying

00:21:59.720 I have no problem

00:22:01.180 People look

00:22:01.640 Allah doesn't need anybody

00:22:03.480 If everybody's died

00:22:04.880 Apostate

00:22:05.260 It doesn't mean nothing

00:22:06.140 But let's just finish off

00:22:07.400 And this man don't even know

00:22:10.300 What's going on

00:22:11.020 I get up

00:22:11.880 I look in the mirror

00:22:13.000 I'm wiping the tears

00:22:14.520 And I'm like

00:22:15.220 God

00:22:15.740 I'm not even a Christian

00:22:17.220 I'm a Muslim

00:22:17.900 I was like

00:22:18.580 I don't even believe

00:22:19.460 Your Bible is true

00:22:20.660 Because Islam teaches

00:22:21.580 That the Bible

00:22:22.160 Is only partially true

00:22:23.280 And for the first time ever

00:22:25.000 I heard God's voice

00:22:25.960 And God spoke to me

00:22:26.940 He said

00:22:27.620 Don't worry about changing

00:22:28.700 Don't worry about transforming

00:22:30.060 Read my word

00:22:31.700 And allow my word

00:22:33.280 And my love

00:22:34.040 To transform

00:22:35.080 You

00:22:35.400 After that

00:22:36.020 I didn't immediately

00:22:36.840 Just get saved

00:22:37.720 And everything was

00:22:38.540 Rose petals

00:22:39.400 It was a huge tug of war

00:22:41.160 Between both the faiths

00:22:42.960 Within my heart

00:22:43.660 A lot of Christians say this

00:22:44.780 I'm just really curious

00:22:45.960 Just a very

00:22:46.660 And I don't mean

00:22:47.180 I genuinely

00:22:48.060 Because we know

00:22:48.740 A lot of Christian people

00:22:49.500 We've got a lot of friends

00:22:50.740 That are Christian

00:22:51.540 Even though in the park

00:22:52.340 You know

00:22:52.520 Genuinely

00:22:53.740 How do you know

00:22:55.280 That the person

00:22:56.040 Or whatever is talking to you

00:22:57.160 Is God but not Satan

00:22:58.160 How do you know

00:22:59.560 How do you come to this conclusion

00:23:00.700 Of what I heard

00:23:02.140 Is from God

00:23:03.240 I've always been curious

00:23:04.940 It's for an evidence

00:23:05.980 To be an evidence

00:23:06.580 It has to be somewhat

00:23:07.640 Verifiable

00:23:08.720 Somewhat verifiable

00:23:09.800 You know

00:23:10.740 It's got to be third person

00:23:12.620 In a sense

00:23:12.940 We've all got to see

00:23:14.320 And experiment

00:23:15.640 With what you're talking about

00:23:16.620 If it's first person

00:23:17.620 It can be good for you

00:23:18.660 Yes

00:23:19.240 But you can't use

00:23:19.940 A and evidence

00:23:20.340 Exactly

00:23:20.740 That's what I'm saying

00:23:21.320 And that's another argument

00:23:22.040 In my heart

00:23:22.960 Because I wanted to honor God

00:23:24.560 But I wanted to make sure

00:23:25.800 That I was doing it

00:23:26.600 The right way

00:23:27.240 But those people

00:23:28.700 Lovingly walked with me

00:23:30.300 And through them

00:23:31.400 Walking with me

00:23:31.980 Through them showing me

00:23:32.660 Through the text

00:23:33.200 And through the scriptures

00:23:33.900 And through their love

00:23:34.740 I was able to realize

00:23:35.680 That Jesus is the son of God

00:23:37.200 He is God

00:23:38.120 He is more than just a prophet

00:23:39.520 So man

00:23:40.740 That is the story

00:23:41.520 As to how I got saved

00:23:42.600 So that's it man

00:23:43.420 That's what it was

00:23:44.020 And guys

00:23:44.440 Brothers and sisters

00:23:44.900 The reason I wanted to

00:23:46.000 You know

00:23:46.380 Do this is because

00:23:47.140 It's something that we can

00:23:49.160 Learn from

00:23:49.760 And understand

00:23:50.540 That you know

00:23:51.440 It personally

00:23:55.260 Did not add up to me

00:23:56.060 I would say to you also

00:23:57.360 This is a really interesting

00:23:58.900 Social experiment

00:24:00.520 One can do with themselves

00:24:01.480 Is watch three

00:24:02.980 Videos like these

00:24:04.740 People converting out of Islam

00:24:06.140 And then watch the videos

00:24:07.640 Of people coming into Islam

00:24:08.660 And kind of compare

00:24:09.500 The things that people are saying

00:24:11.020 Because usually you'll find

00:24:11.900 That most of the things

00:24:13.020 Are being said here

00:24:13.720 In this video particularly

00:24:14.600 Are either emotional

00:24:15.800 Or highly subjective

00:24:17.360 Exactly

00:24:17.960 This is exactly what we're saying

00:24:19.240 That's why in Islam

00:24:19.920 We don't believe in blind faith

00:24:21.060 We believe that

00:24:22.000 Allah SWT says

00:24:22.780 Use your brain

00:24:23.980 Use it

00:24:24.740 Ponder upon my creation

00:24:25.820 Don't just totally

00:24:27.340 Blind faith

00:24:28.620 And that's what it is

00:24:29.460 This is how I felt

00:24:30.220 Because the Christian

00:24:31.260 The Satan worshipper

00:24:32.120 Satan worshipper

00:24:32.840 You can say Satan

00:24:33.580 I started worshipping Satan

00:24:35.040 My life has been better

00:24:35.980 It's been amazing

00:24:36.520 Guys

00:24:37.240 That's about it

00:24:37.840 From us

00:24:38.240 From the house

00:24:38.820 It's been a velo

00:24:39.780 A very

00:24:41.220 Not velo

00:24:41.860 A very mellow

00:24:43.140 Chillin air experiment

00:24:44.220 That we did

00:24:44.720 Inshallah

00:24:45.300 Inshallah

00:24:49.560 Asalaamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

00:24:50.680 Thank you
