00:00:00.000 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Alhamdulillah, we are starting inshallah the work here, inshallah in the place, inshallah it's gonna be inshallah the hub for da'wah, b'ithunillah.
00:00:21.000 There's a lot of work to do, we need to clean up the floors first, there's a lot of damp, there's a lot of wires everywhere.
00:00:27.000 So what we're gonna do is now, we're gonna show you the before, after and more after videos of what we're gonna do.
00:00:31.000 The first thing is, clean the carpets, do this up and then we're gonna set up the studio, the set inshallah.
00:00:43.000 Okay guys, why are we in IKEA today? We are here because we're moving into our new studio and office and we need chairs to sit on and tables to video on.
00:00:51.000 So what we're gonna do now is, we're gonna go there inshallah and look around and find some what's up.
00:00:57.000 This would be perfect, but obviously, with the limited finances we have, we need to spend efficiently.
00:01:06.000 So what we're gonna do is, we're gonna look for something like this, or maybe in a second and short.
00:01:15.000 Okay brothers and sisters, so what we're doing now is, we're cleaning up the studio, it's looking extra clean.
00:01:18.000 It's looking extra clean, now is the time to put the set together inshallah, which we're going to do with a bit of colour, and plant, and plant, and plant.
00:01:27.000 Let me ask you guys a question.
00:01:36.000 Have you ever felt overwhelmed and in despair?
00:01:38.000 The fact that you're living in the West and you want to practice your Islamic values, and it's so hard.
00:01:43.000 You're being thrown feminism, capitalism, liberalism, all these isms.
00:01:47.000 Not only that, on top of that you have got Muslims coming and telling you this is halal, this is haram, this is this opinion, or this is the right opinion, and this sect, and this group, and you want to pull your hair out.
00:01:56.000 Well we have a solution for you guys.
00:01:58.000 At Salaam, our organisation, we want every single Muslim to know their religion and hold their head up high.
00:02:05.000 Not only that, misconceptions and lies and deceptions that's been thrown to Islam, do you not want answers?
00:02:11.000 We all do. And that's exactly what we're going to do.
00:02:14.000 So follow me guys as I give you a tour of our Salaam organisation and show you guys inshallah our Salaam studios where we will be recording our videos and our content inshallah.
00:02:23.000 Also another branch of our organisation is Salaam Plus e-learning platform where you will be learning your religion from A to Z.
00:02:30.000 Follow me and let's find out.
00:02:33.000 Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu and welcome to Salaam Studios.
00:02:37.000 Brothers and sisters, you saw the transformation from before and after.
00:02:41.000 Well guess what, we're going to show you more after.
00:02:43.000 What we're going to do, we're going to give you guys a little tour of the Salaam Studios.
00:02:46.000 Our local, just in a nutshell, is sharing affection, love and mercy.
00:02:50.000 Sadly in today's time, all we're told is gloom, hellfire, doom, that's all we're told.
00:02:55.000 Alhamdulillah, that is a part of religion that exists.
00:02:57.000 However, the mercy, the affection, the love and sharing that is a key factor in Salaam.
00:03:02.000 So we're going to go and give you guys a little tour each set and what we're about.
00:03:06.000 Follow us.
00:03:08.000 Alright, Salaam Studios.
00:03:12.000 What's this place about?
00:03:14.000 It's really nice.
00:03:16.000 What's this little thing in the middle there?
00:03:18.000 Yeah, just nothing inside.
00:03:22.000 Empty like my life.
00:03:26.000 What's this?
00:03:27.000 It's TV.
00:03:28.000 Oh.
00:03:29.000 Yes.
00:03:30.000 It's fake.
00:03:31.000 Like my personality.
00:03:32.000 So look at this.
00:03:33.000 It's decent.
00:03:34.000 Does the job.
00:03:35.000 Does the job.
00:03:36.000 Ali!
00:03:37.000 I'm here bro.
00:03:38.000 Where are you?

00:03:42.000 Salaamu Alaikum.
00:03:43.000 Take a seat.
00:03:44.000 Yeah, yeah, I'm here bro.
00:03:45.000 Salaam Studios.
00:03:46.000 MashaAllah, may Allah bless you.
00:03:47.000 Muhammad Hijab.
00:03:48.000 That makes sense.
00:03:49.000 Asalaamu Alaikum bro.
00:03:50.000 You're good, yeah?
00:03:51.000 You're right.
00:03:52.000 Seems to be getting taller and taller.
00:03:53.000 Are you enjoying yourself?
00:03:54.000 Not really, no.
00:03:55.000 Okay, this is called the house.
00:03:56.000 Yeah?
00:03:57.000 Yeah.
00:03:58.000 No problem sister, this set is called the house insha'Allah.
00:04:00.000 What we're going to be doing here is we're going to be doing reaction videos, we're going
00:04:01.000 to have guests coming all over the world insha'Allah to bring them here, have a nice chilled
00:04:13.000 out environment.
00:04:14.000 A lot of the times people think Islam is just about haram, haram, haram, haram and it is.
00:04:18.000 But we're just going to have, sometimes we need to chill out of time you know, and save the haram
00:04:21.000 haram and haram bit to our next set.
00:04:23.000 But I'm going to let you enjoy your time.
00:04:25.000 Muhammad, is there anything you want to say?
00:04:26.000 Bro, I didn't listen to a thing he said.
00:04:28.000 He just speaks so fast.
00:04:29.000 Can you just translate into English please?
00:04:31.000 Look.
00:04:32.000 I think he's speaking in Turkish.
00:04:33.000 He's Kurdish.
00:04:34.000 Kurdish.
00:04:35.000 He speaks Turkish.
00:04:36.000 Same thing, potato, tomato, you know.
00:04:38.000 True, true.
00:04:39.000 Yeah.
00:04:40.000 Should we go to the next set?
00:04:41.000 Salaam Studios, am I in?
00:04:42.000 Yes, you're inside.
00:04:43.000 I'm going to let you enjoy yourself, okay?
00:04:44.000 Yeah?
00:04:45.000 You want tea, coffee?
00:04:46.000 Yeah, both please.
00:04:47.000 Insha'Allah.
00:04:48.000 If I find out, I'll go with you.
00:04:49.000 You relax.
00:04:50.000 Oh, thanks.
00:04:51.000 Enjoy yourself.
00:04:52.000 Can I get a bit of a...
00:04:53.000 No?
00:04:54.000 Sure, sure.
00:04:55.000 We'll see you two.
00:04:56.000 Oh, Muhammad.
00:04:57.000 Keep going.
00:04:58.000 Stay on that calcium.
00:05:04.000 Assalamualaikum.
00:05:05.000 Assalamualaikum.
00:05:06.000 Assalamualaikum.
00:05:07.000 Assalamualaikum.
00:05:08.000 Assalamualaikum.
00:05:09.000 Assalamualaikum.
00:05:10.000 Sorry.
00:05:11.000 And you made a mistake now.
00:05:13.000 Oh, I know.
00:05:14.000 Yes.
00:05:15.000 What's the mistake?
00:05:16.000 Assalamualaikum.
00:05:17.000 So since I moved, I put my hand for salam.
00:05:18.000 Yeah.
00:05:19.000 So you cannot now leave me now here.
00:05:20.000 Yeah?
00:05:21.000 Yeah.
00:05:22.000 You went from wajib to sunnah.
00:05:23.000 Wow.
00:05:24.000 That's actually, you know, that's actually, this is exactly what this corner is about.
00:05:27.000 So brothers and sisters, we just came from the chill out set to this set.
00:05:30.000 This set is going to be based upon knowledge, inshaAllah.
00:05:33.000 So a lot of the times, yes, alhamdulillah, it's good to have halal fun, relax sometimes.
00:05:37.000 Life is not always about halal and haram, even though we do implement that in our life.
00:05:41.000 Sometimes we should take matters a bit seriously.
00:05:43.000 And this is where Sheikh Mohammed Tarawna, may Allah bless him, inshaAllah, will be playing
00:05:48.000 a major part in that as well.
00:05:49.000 Not only our self-development, but also when it comes to topics of matters that need knowledge.
00:05:53.000 We always refer to people of knowledge, inshaAllah.
00:05:56.000 And also, Sheikh Mohammed Athman, who you guys might have remembered from the second night
00:06:01.000 series.
00:06:02.000 Yeah, the night scientific miracles for you to understand this whole issue of scientific miracles.
00:06:05.000 But these are the kind of academic topics which we want to be able to cover in this project.
00:06:10.000 Like going a little bit more in depth, seeing what the sharia says about these things,
00:06:14.000 and inshaAllah, being able to do so properly.
00:06:17.000 Not always in a serious manner.
00:06:19.000 We can have three days as well.
00:06:21.000 The sunnah of the masjah is all encompassing.
00:06:23.000 Yeah, we try as well to make it as well simple and acceptable, inshaAllah.
00:06:27.000 Exactly.
00:06:28.000 And that's the stereotype that we want to break.
00:06:29.000 Because sometimes when we see people of knowledge, obviously we should always respect them,
00:06:32.000 but we sometimes think, you know, are they fine?
00:06:34.000 You know, if I do something wrong, if I slip up.
00:06:36.000 It's not about that.
00:06:37.000 And this is what we're going to be showing in this section, inshaAllah.
00:06:39.000 Let's move on to our next.
00:06:41.000 Okay guys, so on this set, some of you guys, especially youngsters, they like to see a lot of animations and things flying all over the place.
00:06:52.000 On here, on this set, what we're going to be doing is doing animations.
00:06:55.000 So sometimes you'll see us flying in rockets, or sometimes you'll see us in Dubai or France or Belgium.
00:07:00.000 Belgium.
00:07:01.000 Thank you for correcting me on that. That's why you're here, inshaAllah.
00:07:04.000 I'm just trying to see...
00:07:06.000 You're mocking me.
00:07:07.000 Okay, so what we're going to do is we're going to do a little take off.
00:07:09.000 So this is one of the steps where we'll be using a lot of motion graphics and animation to bring you quality videos.
00:07:15.000 Let's go.
00:07:21.000 Welcome to the booth.
00:07:24.000 This is where we're going to be doing the heavyweight work.
00:07:26.000 This is where we're going to be talking about really important ideas, really important philosophies, really important ideologies.
00:07:32.000 This is where we're going to be talking about liberalism and Marxism and communism and feminism.
00:07:37.000 And this is where we're going to talk about what the scholars of the post-Enlightenment, the pre-Enlightenment, the Renaissance,
00:07:44.000 all of those different time periods have said.
00:07:47.000 This is where we're going to assess their consistencies and their inconsistencies.
00:07:52.000 This is where we're going to talk about some of the contradictions associated with those ideas.
00:07:56.000 So this is an important place to be.
00:08:00.000 All of this and much more will be happening in this very booth.
00:08:10.000 Booth?
00:08:12.000 This looks more like a bar, mate.
00:08:14.000 What's this?
00:08:15.000 Yeah, I'll keep that for later, mate.
00:08:17.000 Looks all right, you know.
00:08:20.000 Looks all right.
00:08:25.000 Hey guys, so this set.
00:08:26.000 What's this set about?
00:08:27.000 It looks really cool.
00:08:28.000 Why does it look cool?
00:08:29.000 Because I kind of designed it.
00:08:30.000 I have a bit of design skill.
00:08:31.000 Besides the point though, let's come to the main crux of the matter.
00:08:34.000 On this specific show, every single week, inshallah, I'm going to try my best to tackle major misconceptions that are thrown towards Islam.
00:08:41.000 So all these misconceptions that are thrown towards Islam, a lot of non-Muslims are curious and a lot of Muslims want to know.
00:08:46.000 This is our religion.
00:08:47.000 We want to know exactly what our sources say, not what Tom, Dick and Harry says.
00:08:52.000 So in this specific show, that's what I'll be doing.
00:08:54.000 Every single week on this board, as you can see, a classified photo will be put here and I'll be discussing that specific misconception.
00:09:01.000 Obviously, this is not for myself, I'm not that knowledgeable.
00:09:04.000 Our teachers, which you saw, Sheikh Mohammed, both of them are Sheikh Mohammed.
00:09:07.000 Both of them will assist me myself specifically in doing in-depth research, be it the hadith, authentication and also other matters as well.
00:09:15.000 And they will give me that knowledge and I'll be presenting this to you guys in a digestible way so you don't get a stomachache, inshallah.
00:09:21.000 And that's how I'll be doing inshallah on this platform.
00:09:23.000 Not only that, so you guys can understand it in detail.
00:09:26.000 I know you guys will like a bit of imagery.
00:09:28.000 Imagery, is that a word?
00:09:30.000 Is that a word, yeah?
00:09:31.000 Yes, you will see things happening, inshallah.
00:09:34.000 So that's the main aspect of it, which will help you understand and grasp it.
00:09:42.000 Asalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah.
00:09:44.000 So we're going into the meeting room, which is a really important room.
00:09:47.000 We're going to be doing our meetings in it, we're going to be doing our brainstorming in it.
00:09:50.000 And of course, we're going to do some of our lessons in it as well, which we're going to publish,
00:09:55.000 for all of you guys to see.
00:09:57.000 Let's take a look inside.
00:10:07.000 So here, what they're talking about is the European tour.
00:10:10.000 Because part of our remit is going to be exploring the world,
00:10:13.000 and obviously spreading the message of Islam,
00:10:15.000 educating people all across the world in places like Europe, South America, Africa,
00:10:20.000 and in fact, internationally.
00:10:22.000 Asalaamu Alaikum guys, welcome to the editing room.
00:10:36.000 This is where all the footage that we record on the sets that we showed you,
00:10:40.000 all the footage that we do outside or documentaries and short movies that we film
00:10:44.000 are brought into this room and our editing team bring it to life in an amazing way.
00:10:50.000 With the latest technology, as you can see that we have, rendering is super fast.
00:10:54.000 So no more complaining and waiting.
00:10:56.000 Brother Ali, when's the video coming out?
00:10:58.000 We've dealt with it.
00:10:59.000 And this is where it all will be happening.
00:11:01.000 And for the motion graphic videos with that little extra edge,
00:11:04.000 it will be sent to Brighton to our graphic motions team,
00:11:07.000 where they will add a little bit of specialness in it.
00:11:10.000 So that's what's going to be happening.
00:11:12.000 So inshallah, we can turn the world into a colourful place to live in.
00:11:42.000 This is where we can change theダ值.
00:11:47.000 This is where we can be그냥 shaken up all these things to do,
00:11:49.000 but these things not evtlors,
00:11:51.000 what are some of the pictures that we have done?
00:11:53.000 And some people here,
00:11:55.340 we can see that.
00:11:56.000 So, but we're getting creative directions we can all look for,
00:11:58.000 you should find all kinds of everything.
00:12:00.000 We're coming back and we're going back andocolata,
