00:00:00.000 Do you know Scholars for Dollars, innit?
00:00:02.000 I talked to one of my friends recently and he said,
00:00:04.000 Scholars for Dollars.
00:00:05.000 That's what it is.
00:00:06.000 And that's what it is.
00:00:07.000 There's no...
00:00:08.000 There should be no money in Dawa.
00:00:10.000 If you knew half of the things me and Hijab has gone through,
00:00:13.000 I know times where Hijab didn't have money to do shopping.
00:00:16.000 I didn't get paid by Hijab for five years.
00:00:18.000 I work at Uber. Hijab's trying to sell codes.
00:00:21.000 Our lives in danger.
00:00:22.000 We don't make money from it.
00:00:23.000 We get attacked left, right, centre.
00:00:25.000 Yeah?
00:00:26.000 What are we doing it for?
00:00:30.000 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters,
00:00:34.000 and dear friends.
00:00:35.000 Okay, I'm going to get straight into this video, inshallah.
00:00:36.000 I've got three minute clips of Sid and Deena's video.
00:00:39.000 Certain things they talk about, misunderstanding,
00:00:41.000 some accusations towards us.
00:00:42.000 I'm going to clarify that, inshallah.
00:00:43.000 Also, do not forget to check this app.
00:00:45.000 This app is amazing.
00:00:46.000 You guys need to check.
00:00:47.000 It shows you the nearest meshes towards you.
00:00:49.000 If somebody's doing Jama'at on the road, wherever,
00:00:51.000 you can get...
00:00:52.000 You can see that on your...
00:00:54.000 It's like a bit like Uber.
00:00:55.000 You can see it and go and join them.
00:00:57.000 If you're going to Jama'at,
00:00:59.000 some people always want to be picked up.
00:01:00.000 You can pick them up on the way.
00:01:01.000 Amazing.
00:01:02.000 Check this app, inshallah.
00:01:03.000 Now, what we're going to do is, as you guys know,
00:01:04.000 Hijab released a couple of videos a couple of days ago.
00:01:07.000 And I thought, you know what?
00:01:09.000 And at first, I was like,
00:01:10.000 Oh, Hijab, did you have to do it?
00:01:11.000 Like, forget it.
00:01:12.000 It's Ramadan, etc.
00:01:13.000 But after he'd done that video,
00:01:14.000 a lot of people came up to me and he was like,
00:01:16.000 Bro, like, I'm going to come to this in a video, yeah?
00:01:19.000 How do you know you do Uber?
00:01:20.000 Yeah?
00:01:21.000 And people were like,
00:01:22.000 Bear surprised.
00:01:23.000 And I was like, okay.
00:01:24.000 And it seems like...
00:01:25.000 There was good out of it.
00:01:26.000 And I like this approach, etc.
00:01:27.000 What we're going to do is, brothers and sisters,
00:01:28.000 as you guys know,
00:01:29.000 Brother Sid and Deena, yeah?
00:01:30.000 Our brothers and sisters.
00:01:31.000 They are our brothers and sisters, yeah?
00:01:33.000 They say,
00:01:34.000 Blood is thicker than water.
00:01:35.000 Iman is thicker than blood.
00:01:37.000 Yeah?
00:01:38.000 So,
00:01:39.000 We're going to watch the video, inshallah.
00:01:40.000 And we're going to react to it.
00:01:41.000 We're going to get to it straight away, inshallah.
00:01:42.000 And there's going to be things
00:01:43.000 that I'm going to tell you guys
00:01:44.000 that I didn't want to share before.
00:01:45.000 But I'm going to share it with you guys, inshallah.
00:01:47.000 And because,
00:01:48.000 after seeing Hijab's video,
00:01:49.000 I got a bit encouraged.
00:01:50.000 And I thought, you know what?
00:01:51.000 Maybe it's time that we do.
00:01:52.000 And why we're going to do it?
00:01:53.000 Because,
00:01:54.000 I will explain why.
00:01:55.000 Let's just watch this, inshallah.
00:01:56.000 Let's get into it straight.
00:01:58.000 In the internet drama that,
00:02:00.000 the Dawa lot started.
00:02:02.000 From the Dawa, guys.
00:02:03.000 For...
00:02:04.000 I'll never forgive them for that.
00:02:06.000 Ever.
00:02:07.000 And which affected, basically,
00:02:08.000 both our families.
00:02:09.000 Hardcore.
00:02:10.000 And it affected us, like...
00:02:11.000 To an extent, they have no idea.
00:02:13.000 Okay.
00:02:14.000 The first part, yeah.
00:02:15.000 Firstly, I...
00:02:16.000 Sincerely, sincerely.
00:02:17.000 I want to make something...
00:02:18.000 Clarity.
00:02:19.000 Please listen carefully.
00:02:20.000 Our sister, dear Sid and Dina.
00:02:22.000 If you're watching this,
00:02:23.000 I want to say something very clearly, yeah?
00:02:25.000 Sid has...
00:02:26.000 Other previous videos,
00:02:27.000 he said that he's went through anxieties.
00:02:28.000 I went through very, very similar things as you, Sid.
00:02:30.000 Very, very similar things as you, Baba.
00:02:33.000 And I might do a video addressing how I got over that.
00:02:35.000 That's a different story.
00:02:36.000 But if what we did caused your anxiety to get worse, et cetera,
00:02:42.000 and caused some issues in your family,
00:02:44.000 we apologize.
00:02:46.000 But listen carefully.
00:02:47.000 We're sorry that caused that.
00:02:49.000 But we need to understand something,
00:02:51.000 and we're going to come to it in a minute,
00:02:53.000 that I am not here to apologize for what we did,
00:02:57.000 but that indirectly, unintentionally,
00:03:00.000 if it caused you to be upset,
00:03:02.000 I apologize for your family for suffering,
00:03:04.000 going through that.
00:03:05.000 But then again,
00:03:06.000 you need to understand where we were coming from as well.
00:03:09.000 But, that's just to clarify that point.
00:03:11.000 So, apologize if it had some kind of harm on you guys.
00:03:15.000 But, I'm going to...
00:03:16.000 Throughout this video,
00:03:17.000 I'm going to explain why things happen like that.
00:03:21.000 People were saying,
00:03:22.000 she's no longer Muslim, and...
00:03:24.000 Or you as well.
00:03:26.000 No, but, yeah.
00:03:27.000 First of all, they came hard at me,
00:03:28.000 but then they started coming at you.
00:03:30.000 Okay, firstly,
00:03:31.000 anyone that calls another person a disbeliever,
00:03:35.000 because they take the hijab off,
00:03:36.000 or they're sinning,
00:03:37.000 is an absolute jahil,
00:03:39.000 ignoramus.
00:03:40.000 He's absolutely jahil.
00:03:41.000 Or a takfiri.
00:03:42.000 A takfiri is somebody who does...
00:03:43.000 Everyone is a kafir, kafir, kafir, yeah?
00:03:45.000 Or a mad one, yeah?
00:03:46.000 So, that is absolutely disgusting,
00:03:48.000 and we have never, ever, ever,
00:03:50.000 told anybody to send hate,
00:03:52.000 swear, do takfir of people,
00:03:55.000 ever, ever.
00:03:56.000 We've never done that.
00:03:57.000 We've never done that.
00:03:58.000 You see, from the Dawa, guys,
00:04:00.000 like, we literally had receipts
00:04:01.000 in this podcast episode,
00:04:03.000 but we never ended up putting it up,
00:04:04.000 and we probably won't.
00:04:05.000 We just thought, forget it.
00:04:06.000 So, just like, allow it.
00:04:07.000 Yeah, allow it, can't be bothered.
00:04:09.000 Allow it, can't be bothered.
00:04:10.000 There's a whole group of people on the internet.
00:04:11.000 Literally, can't be bothered.
00:04:12.000 They'll just get what's coming to them
00:04:13.000 from God, like, who cares?
00:04:14.000 Do you know Scholars for Dollars, innit?
00:04:16.000 I talked to one of my friends recently,
00:04:18.000 and he said, Scholars for Dollars.
00:04:19.000 That's what it is.
00:04:20.000 And that's what it is.
00:04:21.000 There's no...
00:04:22.000 There should be no money in Dawa,
00:04:24.000 that's all I'm going to say.
00:04:25.000 What do you mean?
00:04:26.000 Okay, Hijab, in his video,
00:04:27.000 you can watch, he's covered this.
00:04:28.000 I'm not going to repeat the same thing.
00:04:29.000 But what I'm going to do
00:04:30.000 is I'm going to talk about it
00:04:31.000 from my angle, yeah?
00:04:33.000 Now, seeing Scholars for Dollars,
00:04:35.000 that's a slander.
00:04:37.000 That's a big accusation, you know?
00:04:39.000 That's a big accusation.
00:04:41.000 Because what that means is that
00:04:43.000 we are doing what we're doing
00:04:44.000 for the money.
00:04:45.000 Now, I could easily come and say,
00:04:47.000 Sid and Dina,
00:04:48.000 I can put this challenge out.
00:04:49.000 If I want, I can come and say,
00:04:50.000 you know what, look,
00:04:51.000 you bring your accounts.
00:04:52.000 Me and Hijab will bring out accounts, yeah?
00:04:54.000 If you look at our statements,
00:04:55.000 we'll look at your statements, yeah?
00:04:57.000 I'm not going to do that, yeah?
00:04:58.000 It's petty.
00:04:59.000 I don't want to go down that route.
00:05:00.000 And I believe, you know,
00:05:02.000 you guys don't,
00:05:03.000 you don't grasp and understand
00:05:04.000 why we did what we did.
00:05:05.000 And I feel like you're,
00:05:06.000 you guys are still a bit bitter.
00:05:08.000 Or maybe the ego's in the way
00:05:09.000 where you're saying things.
00:05:11.000 Why?
00:05:12.000 Because we just corrected you
00:05:13.000 on a certain matter, you know?
00:05:14.000 And was that our fault?
00:05:15.000 Or yours?
00:05:16.000 We're going to come to that.
00:05:17.000 But scholars for dollars,
00:05:18.000 brothers and sisters,
00:05:19.000 you've already heard this,
00:05:20.000 that I do Uber, yeah?
00:05:21.000 It's not something to be hidden, yeah?
00:05:23.000 I actually recorded a video
00:05:25.000 I'm going to release very soon
00:05:26.000 in the car that I had.
00:05:27.000 I had the Toyota Aris, yeah?
00:05:28.000 The car that didn't belong to me.
00:05:29.000 I was renting it
00:05:30.000 to do it because I didn't have money
00:05:31.000 to buy a car, yeah?
00:05:33.000 Now,
00:05:34.000 and now I'm going into chauffeuring.
00:05:36.000 If there's anyone in the chauffeuring industry,
00:05:37.000 I would really appreciate
00:05:38.000 if you can get in contact with me
00:05:39.000 because I'm looking for chauffeuring jobs
00:05:40.000 to cut down my hours at Uber, yeah?
00:05:42.000 And another brother helped me with a car.
00:05:45.000 Alhamdulillah.
00:05:46.000 So I've got a chauffeuring car.
00:05:47.000 Now,
00:05:48.000 with Uber,
00:05:49.000 I do Uber.
00:05:50.000 Besides, I've got two free jobs.
00:05:51.000 I do Uber outside of Salaam, yeah?
00:05:54.000 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday,
00:05:55.000 we're at Salaam Studios, yeah?
00:05:57.000 Wednesday,
00:05:58.000 I do Uber all day.
00:06:00.000 Thursday,
00:06:02.000 after work, straight after Salaam,
00:06:03.000 brothers, no.
00:06:04.000 I do Uber till 3-4 in the morning.
00:06:06.000 3-4 in the morning.
00:06:07.000 Friday,
00:06:08.000 I do all day Uber.
00:06:10.000 Saturday, all day Uber.
00:06:11.000 Sunday,
00:06:12.000 before I go to the park,
00:06:13.000 I do Uber.
00:06:14.000 Because I'm in debt.
00:06:16.000 And hijab,
00:06:17.000 since hijab's gone and told you guys,
00:06:18.000 I'm just going to elaborate.
00:06:19.000 Some family members,
00:06:20.000 long story,
00:06:21.000 I can't get into detail,
00:06:22.000 but,
00:06:23.000 were scammed.
00:06:24.000 My grandma,
00:06:25.000 etc, etc,
00:06:26.000 they were scammed, yeah?
00:06:27.000 A few people got scammed, yeah?
00:06:29.000 And I'm taking on that burden off that debt
00:06:31.000 because that was her life savings, yeah?
00:06:33.000 And I took that on board.
00:06:35.000 And I said,
00:06:36.000 Grandma,
00:06:37.000 I will pay you.
00:06:38.000 I'm going to,
00:06:39.000 I'll work and I'll pay you.
00:06:40.000 There's a few other personal debts.
00:06:42.000 Myself as well, yeah?
00:06:43.000 I'm not going to go to the figure,
00:06:44.000 etc,
00:06:45.000 but I have personal debts.
00:06:46.000 And I'm not seeing this too,
00:06:47.000 and I abstain from,
00:06:48.000 if I want,
00:06:49.000 I could easily make this emotional,
00:06:50.000 and this is what I'm going through,
00:06:51.000 etc.
00:06:52.000 You knew half of the things me and hijab has gone through.
00:06:54.000 I know times where hijab didn't have money to do shopping.
00:06:57.000 He did not have money to do shopping.
00:06:59.000 We went through some issues that happened in Salaam,
00:07:01.000 and there was misunderstandings, etc,
00:07:02.000 long story short.
00:07:03.000 Alhamdulillah,
00:07:04.000 a beautiful brother,
00:07:05.000 may Allah bless him,
00:07:06.000 and a group of his brothers,
00:07:07.000 they've helped Salaam,
00:07:08.000 you know,
00:07:09.000 they've helped a lot,
00:07:10.000 may Allah bless him,
00:07:11.000 and he's very dear to me,
00:07:12.000 and I love him for the sake of Allah,
00:07:13.000 till this day,
00:07:14.000 may Allah bless him,
00:07:15.000 he knows who he is, inshallah.
00:07:16.000 I love him,
00:07:17.000 and the brothers around,
00:07:18.000 they've helped us a lot,
00:07:19.000 but there was a misunderstanding,
00:07:20.000 and there was a time,
00:07:21.000 where hijab didn't have shopping.
00:07:23.000 We had,
00:07:24.000 we had a certain amount of money,
00:07:25.000 where we were thinking,
00:07:26.000 okay,
00:07:27.000 who can we help this weekend,
00:07:28.000 who can we give it to?
00:07:29.000 This brother was suffering,
00:07:30.000 this, etc.
00:07:31.000 Like,
00:07:32.000 it came to,
00:07:33.000 I don't want to go into detail, yeah?
00:07:34.000 Like,
00:07:35.000 I know those times.
00:07:36.000 Brothers and sisters,
00:07:37.000 when I do Uber,
00:07:38.000 sometimes I've,
00:07:39.000 I've fallen asleep on the wheel.
00:07:40.000 Sometimes,
00:07:41.000 sometimes like,
00:07:42.000 and I have to pull up, yeah?
00:07:43.000 I'm not saying I drive like that,
00:07:44.000 but when I realise I'm falling asleep on the wheel,
00:07:45.000 believe me,
00:07:46.000 and I'm not saying this to make it,
00:07:47.000 I'm saying it because,
00:07:48.000 Sid and Dina,
00:07:49.000 the Abraham sisters have a misunderstanding,
00:07:50.000 they've brought this up,
00:07:51.000 and I don't feel,
00:07:52.000 you know what,
00:07:53.000 I don't feel any kind of animosity towards you guys.
00:07:54.000 But,
00:07:55.000 I sometimes sleep in the back of the car.
00:07:57.000 You will see me,
00:07:58.000 trust me,
00:07:59.000 like,
00:08:00.000 you will see me,
00:08:01.000 I'm in the back of the car,
00:08:02.000 I have to pull up somewhere,
00:08:03.000 why?
00:08:04.000 Because my house is so far,
00:08:05.000 because I do Uber,
00:08:06.000 I end up all over the place.
00:08:07.000 Sometimes,
00:08:08.000 I end up all the way down South London,
00:08:09.000 and I live all the way up north,
00:08:10.000 and I know,
00:08:11.000 if I'm feeling sleepy,
00:08:12.000 yeah?
00:08:13.000 and sometimes at night time,
00:08:14.000 I feel sleepy,
00:08:15.000 and I'm looking,
00:08:16.000 and there's a bloody curb in front of me,
00:08:17.000 yeah?
00:08:18.000 And once actually,
00:08:19.000 I had a minor accident,
00:08:20.000 where I hit the curb,
00:08:21.000 minor accident,
00:08:22.000 yeah?
00:08:23.000 But I try my best to sleep,
00:08:24.000 if I feel tired,
00:08:25.000 I sleep now,
00:08:26.000 yeah?
00:08:27.000 I sleep in the back of the car,
00:08:29.000 for two, three hours,
00:08:30.000 sometimes in the back of the car,
00:08:31.000 yes,

00:09:09.000 scholars for total is a big statement,

00:09:20.000 with our own hands,
00:09:21.000 you know,
00:09:22.000 we got help as well,
00:09:23.000 brothers and sisters,
00:09:24.000 that's why we raised,
00:09:25.000 for some funds in Ramadan,
00:09:26.000 you don't know,
00:09:27.000 this is just the financial aspect,
00:09:28.000 you don't know,
00:09:29.000 there's things,
00:09:30.000 if I told you,

00:09:38.000 our families will panic,
00:09:39.000 we can't,
00:09:40.000 and that's why we don't see it,
00:09:41.000 you know,
00:09:42.000 sometimes,
00:09:43.000 certain things that we get,
00:09:44.000 sometimes our lives are in danger,
00:09:45.000 living for it like that,
00:09:46.000 sometimes our life,
00:09:47.000 is in literal danger,
00:09:48.000 when hijab was attacked,
00:09:49.000 we went to freedom of speech march,
00:09:50.000 what did we go there for,
00:09:51.000 for fame,

00:10:04.000 these people,
00:10:05.000 they surrounded us,
00:10:06.000 hijab got attacked,
00:10:07.000 I got took to the other side,
00:10:08.000 where I was surrounded by a group of them,
00:10:09.000 but they,
00:10:10.000 they literally wanted to kill me,
00:10:11.000 you know,

00:10:20.000 we don't tell you this guys,
00:10:21.000 you know why,
00:10:22.000 because we don't want to make a drama queen,
00:10:23.000 you know,
00:10:24.000 make it feel sorry,
00:10:25.000 we don't want no one to feel sorry for us,
00:10:26.000 but at least,

00:10:28.000 if you don't want to help us,
00:10:30.000 no problem,

00:10:38.000 don't,
00:10:39.000 all I'm just saying is,

00:10:44.000 scholars for dollars,
00:10:46.000 scholars for dollars,

00:10:49.000 well you do all that,
00:10:50.000 people,
00:10:51.000 people who do that type of thing,
00:10:53.000 and,
00:10:54.000 make money from it,
00:10:55.000 make money from it,
00:10:56.000 they have so much pride,
00:10:58.000 and it's funny because,
00:10:59.000 apparently I'm the one who has so much pride,
00:11:02.000 oh yeah,
00:11:03.000 so much pride,
00:11:04.000 so,

00:11:07.000 I don't know,
00:11:08.000 I hope I don't have it,
00:11:09.000 I'm not going to come in,
00:11:10.000 I hope I don't,
00:11:11.000 do that video,
00:11:12.000 against,
00:11:13.000 our sister Dina,
00:11:14.000 or yourself,
00:11:15.000 do you think I wake up one day,
00:11:16.000 and just think,
00:11:17.000 okay let me just do,

00:11:19.000 I'm bored,
00:11:20.000 let me just do a video,
00:11:21.000 I don't,
00:11:22.000 believe me,
00:11:23.000 we don't.
00:11:24.000 I'm arrogant,

00:11:26.000 I'm just like,
00:11:27.000 yeah whatever man,
00:11:28.000 just go do your own thing,
00:11:29.000 leave me alone.
00:11:30.000 It's so funny because,
00:11:31.000 all of these scholars,
00:11:32.000 of the internet,
00:11:33.000 internet dawah guys,
00:11:34.000 they want to bang on about religion,
00:11:35.000 blah blah blah,
00:11:36.000 and they want to call people out,
00:11:37.000 because of,
00:11:38.000 for the sake of the youth,
00:11:39.000 it's not,
00:11:40.000 you are failing,
00:11:41.000 first of all,
00:11:42.000 because of,
00:11:43.000 the pride,
00:11:44.000 that this work,
00:11:45.000 is giving you,
00:11:46.000 subconsciously.
00:11:47.000 Okay now the thing is,
00:11:48.000 look,
00:11:49.000 Sid and you know,
00:11:50.000 either you guys are right,
00:11:51.000 or we're wrong,
00:11:52.000 or we're right,
00:11:53.000 and you're wrong,
00:11:54.000 you know,
00:11:55.000 or we're just looking at it,
00:11:56.000 from a different perspective.
00:11:57.000 Yanni,
00:11:58.000 if you,
00:11:59.000 why else,
00:12:00.000 we don't,
00:12:01.000 we didn't get paid,
00:12:02.000 I didn't get paid by usual,
00:12:03.000 for five years.
00:12:04.000 They sell combs,
00:12:05.000 combs,
00:12:06.000 yeah,
00:12:07.000 they're not bad combs,
00:12:08.000 they,
00:12:09.000 he's selling combs,
00:12:10.000 Yanni,
00:12:11.000 how are we,
00:12:12.000 what are we doing this for,
00:12:13.000 for what?
00:12:14.000 You tell us,
00:12:15.000 the money,
00:12:16.000 what money?
00:12:17.000 I work at Uber,
00:12:18.000 so,
00:12:19.000 it's not for the money,
00:12:20.000 the fame,
00:12:21.000 okay,
00:12:22.000 I can't come and say to you,
00:12:23.000 I don't know my intentions,
00:12:24.000 I try my best to rectify my intentions everyday,
00:12:25.000 to do it for the right reasons,
00:12:26.000 yeah,
00:12:27.000 and like I said before,
00:12:28.000 sometimes our lives are in danger,
00:12:29.000 I can't go into detail,
00:12:30.000 believe me,
00:12:31.000 you'll be shocked,
00:12:32.000 but,
00:12:33.000 so,
00:12:34.000 our lives are in danger,
00:12:35.000 we don't make money from it,
00:12:36.000 we get attacked left,
00:12:37.000 right, centre,
00:12:38.000 yeah,
00:12:39.000 what,
00:12:40.000 what are we doing it for,
00:12:41.000 what is it?
00:12:42.000 You tell us,
00:12:43.000 please,
00:12:44.000 tell us what we're doing it for,
00:12:45.000 you know,
00:12:46.000 I don't know,
00:12:47.000 I don't know,
00:12:48.000 it's upon you.
00:12:49.000 The sheikhs that are learned,
00:12:50.000 there's a reason why they don't,
00:12:51.000 they don't go at people,
00:12:52.000 or call out people,
00:12:53.000 there's a reason for that.
00:12:54.000 And that's because it's wrong.
00:12:56.000 You can come at me with all your quotes,
00:12:58.000 and whatever it is you want to say,
00:13:00.000 you want to use a few big words,
00:13:01.000 that you picked up in the dictionary,
00:13:03.000 to sound like you know what you're talking about,
00:13:04.000 you don't,
00:13:05.000 at the end of the day you're wrong,
00:13:06.000 and that's it.
00:13:07.000 Look, I'm sorry again,
00:13:08.000 Allah SWT says in the Quran,
00:13:09.000 let there rise amongst you,
00:13:10.000 a group of people who will enjoy good and feel evil.
00:13:12.000 Sister Deena,
00:13:13.000 you know from day one,
00:13:14.000 me and Musa have done a video,
00:13:15.000 you can see the actual picture of that video here,
00:13:17.000 where you said that you wanted to take the hijab off,
00:13:19.000 but you're leaving it on for the sake of Allah.
00:13:21.000 We did a video encouraging you,
00:13:23.000 if I was there looking out for hate or whatever,
00:13:25.000 we did a video encouraging you,
00:13:27.000 sister may Allah bless you,
00:13:28.000 etc.
00:13:29.000 You're keeping it on for the sake of Allah,
00:13:30.000 that's actually,
00:13:31.000 we encouraged you,
00:13:32.000 do you think I did this to get cookies from you?
00:13:34.000 Talking,
00:13:35.000 and what did you do?
00:13:36.000 You tweeted the very following day,
00:13:37.000 don't tell another person's wife what to do.
00:13:39.000 Arrogantly,
00:13:40.000 I'm sorry,
00:13:41.000 we did a video,
00:13:42.000 not that we wanted a cookie from you,
00:13:45.000 you know,
00:13:46.000 nothing,
00:13:47.000 but to attack us,
00:13:48.000 after we're doing a video encouraging you,
00:13:49.000 I said no problem,
00:13:50.000 that's your take on it,
00:13:51.000 etc.
00:13:52.000 You guys,
00:13:53.000 you know,
00:13:54.000 Musa,
00:13:55.000 they had a general discussion,
00:13:56.000 etc.
00:13:57.000 No problem.
00:13:58.000 Then you did a video that you want to take a hijab off.
00:14:00.000 I did a video,
00:14:01.000 not respond to that,
00:14:02.000 doing a video general,
00:14:03.000 did I have a go at you for taking a hijab off?
00:14:05.000 Did I say,
00:14:06.000 you are this,
00:14:07.000 and you are that for taking a hijab?
00:14:08.000 Did I do that?
00:14:09.000 No, I didn't.
00:14:10.000 I did not,
00:14:11.000 I was actually praising you still.
00:14:13.000 I was still praising you in a way where I was saying,
00:14:15.000 look, you're going through something.
00:14:16.000 That video was for your audience,
00:14:18.000 for the sisters,
00:14:19.000 because they follow everything you do.
00:14:20.000 And I said, look,
00:14:21.000 if she jumps out the window,
00:14:22.000 you can jump out the window.
00:14:23.000 She's going through that,
00:14:24.000 no problem,
00:14:25.000 don't take your hijab off.
00:14:26.000 Because there was this trend going on,
00:14:28.000 with Instagramers,
00:14:29.000 you know.
00:14:30.000 That's why I even done a video,
00:14:31.000 you can check it,
00:14:32.000 you can see on the screen,
00:14:33.000 where I went,
00:14:34.000 giving my phone to Muslim girls.
00:14:36.000 What was that?
00:14:37.000 I was saying,
00:14:38.000 sisters,
00:14:39.000 may Allah bless you,
00:14:40.000 for putting the hijab on in this hot weather,
00:14:41.000 it was boiling hot last year,
00:14:42.000 if I'm not mistaken, yeah.
00:14:43.000 And I was encouraging people not to take the hijab off.
00:14:45.000 And then,
00:14:46.000 afterwards,
00:14:47.000 when we've done that video,
00:14:48.000 you guys done a video,
00:14:49.000 and you cross lines.
00:14:50.000 You start trying to say to sisters,
00:14:52.000 oh, why can't a Muslim woman marry non-Muslim men?
00:14:55.000 It's haram.
00:14:56.000 You're doing istihlal.
00:14:57.000 Oh, you're making something that's halal haram.
00:14:59.000 Or something that's haram halal.
00:15:01.000 So then,
00:15:02.000 do you want us to just watch,
00:15:03.000 and you're doing things without understanding,
00:15:05.000 without the knowledge,
00:15:06.000 yeah,
00:15:07.000 then should we just watch by it,
00:15:08.000 and let you just misguide the people?
00:15:10.000 And then when we correct you,
00:15:11.000 all of a sudden we're the baddies,
00:15:12.000 and we're evil guys,
00:15:13.000 and we started it,
00:15:14.000 and,
00:15:15.000 what do you want us to do?
00:15:16.000 We see every single one of our brothers and sisters as our own brothers and sisters.
00:15:21.000 So if I see someone doing something,
00:15:23.000 you're not special in that way.
00:15:25.000 I've done a video advising by Adam Saleh,
00:15:28.000 Fuzzy Tube,
00:15:29.000 other individuals,
00:15:30.000 I don't pick and select,
00:15:31.000 and if I do something wrong,
00:15:32.000 do the same with me.
00:15:34.000 If I see hijab misguiding the youth,
00:15:36.000 I swear upon Allah,
00:15:38.000 I'm fasting.
00:15:39.000 I will do a video.
00:15:40.000 I will advise hijab in private.
00:15:42.000 And if he's doing something public,
00:15:43.000 I will correct him in public.
00:15:45.000 I'll correct him in public.
00:15:46.000 I don't care.
00:15:47.000 I don't care.
00:15:48.000 Because my religion is more beloved to me than any Muhammad hijab,
00:15:50.000 or niqab,
00:15:51.000 or whatever you want to call it.
00:15:53.000 We know our faults.
00:15:55.000 We know where we effed up.
00:15:57.000 I know where Dina effed up.
00:15:59.000 She knows where she effed up.
00:16:01.000 I know where I effed up as well.
00:16:03.000 And she knows where I effed up as well.
00:16:05.000 But,
00:16:06.000 a million percent we're not in the wrong.
00:16:08.000 Okay.
00:16:09.000 At least, alhamdulillah,
00:16:10.000 you understand the mistakes that was done.
00:16:12.000 That's good.
00:16:13.000 Rectifying oneself.
00:16:14.000 Now,
00:16:15.000 saying a million percent you're not wrong,
00:16:17.000 that's subjective then.
00:16:18.000 I'm not going to go into who's right or wrong.
00:16:20.000 We just saw that something wrong was done.
00:16:22.000 We tried to, you know,
00:16:23.000 and we just got an attitude of, you know,
00:16:25.000 like, self-righteous,
00:16:26.000 like an arrogance of, like,
00:16:28.000 come on.
00:16:29.000 What have we said to you?
00:16:30.000 Did we insult you?
00:16:31.000 Did we swear?
00:16:32.000 No.
00:16:33.000 All we did was advise you.
00:16:34.000 That's all we did.
00:16:35.000 Well, if you're a YouTuber,
00:16:36.000 if you go irrelevant,
00:16:38.000 suddenly you need to talk about someone who
00:16:41.000 it's literally nothing to do with you,
00:16:44.000 just to become relevant again.
00:16:46.000 Just like,
00:16:47.000 you know what I mean?
00:16:48.000 Relevancy is a disease.
00:16:50.000 Relevancy is disease.
00:16:51.000 We've learned that.
00:16:52.000 I've been so stressed, man,
00:16:53.000 in YouTube life and Instagram life,
00:16:55.000 trying to stay relevant.
00:16:57.000 One of the reasons that I considered
00:17:00.000 keeping my scarf on full time
00:17:03.000 was so that I could stay relevant.
00:17:05.000 Okay.
00:17:06.000 Now, with this issue,
00:17:08.000 now,
00:17:09.000 relevancy, yeah?
00:17:10.000 So, what that means is basically,
00:17:11.000 in a nutshell, what they're saying is that
00:17:13.000 they're claiming that
00:17:15.000 we want to stay relevant.
00:17:17.000 So we thought, okay, look here,
00:17:18.000 nobody's listening to us
00:17:19.000 and we're becoming irrelevant.
00:17:20.000 I know, let's do something controversial
00:17:21.000 and then we'll stay relevant.
00:17:22.000 Some people do this, yeah?
00:17:23.000 Now, that is true.
00:17:25.000 That is true if you and Sid did not do what you did.
00:17:30.000 If you didn't do that,
00:17:31.000 and we just came out randomly,
00:17:32.000 you know how many people message me?
00:17:34.000 I'm like, they swear on their videos,
00:17:35.000 they do this,
00:17:36.000 do a video, etc.
00:17:37.000 I'm like, look,
00:17:38.000 that is wrong,
00:17:39.000 but it's not as hoodish.
00:17:40.000 I'm not going to do a video
00:17:41.000 on why you're swearing.
00:17:42.000 Like, even though it's wrong,
00:17:43.000 it's wrong.
00:17:44.000 How many people message me?
00:17:45.000 And I'll just ignore them.
00:17:46.000 If I wanted,
00:17:47.000 I could have said,
00:17:48.000 yes, any opportunity.
00:17:49.000 How many times?
00:17:50.000 I've said,
00:17:51.000 I've even seen certain things that you say,
00:17:52.000 which was a little,
00:17:53.000 I just assumed the best.
00:17:54.000 No, no.
00:17:55.000 When you say stuff like,
00:17:56.000 why can't non-Muslim,
00:17:57.000 why can't Muslim women marry non-Muslim men?
00:17:59.000 And all this,
00:18:00.000 come on.
00:18:01.000 You know,
00:18:02.000 you want us to just be quiet.
00:18:03.000 Let me just do whatever I like.
00:18:04.000 And then when we do it now,
00:18:05.000 we're being accused of,
00:18:06.000 oh, you want to be relevant.
00:18:07.000 It's not fair.
00:18:08.000 It's not fair.
00:18:09.000 But I, you know,
00:18:10.000 yeah, it's not fair.
00:18:11.000 We stopped showing our Muslim side as much,
00:18:14.000 because we just couldn't handle the amount of expectation,
00:18:19.000 maybe,
00:18:20.000 or judgment.
00:18:21.000 The thing is,
00:18:22.000 you carry it on your sleeve,
00:18:23.000 don't you?
00:18:24.000 Being Muslim.
00:18:25.000 Everybody's like,
00:18:26.000 whoa, what are you doing?
00:18:27.000 What are you doing?
00:18:28.000 A lot of people,
00:18:29.000 like, for example,
00:18:30.000 the Dao a lot,
00:18:31.000 they just don't want us to speak about religion at all.
00:18:33.000 No, that's not true.
00:18:34.000 That's not true.
00:18:35.000 If it's come across like that,
00:18:36.000 no.
00:18:37.000 What we're seeing is,
00:18:38.000 if you don't know something,
00:18:39.000 don't speak about it.
00:18:40.000 Those mistakes don't come across.
00:18:42.000 But in general,
00:18:43.000 we would,
00:18:44.000 your Muslim identity,
00:18:45.000 we would love for you guys,
00:18:46.000 as YouTubers,
00:18:47.000 you have an influence.
00:18:48.000 We would love for you guys to talk about Islam.
00:18:50.000 That is Dawah.
00:18:51.000 You guys do Dawah.
00:18:53.000 Yes, you guys are Dawah.
00:18:54.000 You know what I say,
00:18:55.000 Dawah guys?
00:18:56.000 You're involved as well.
00:18:57.000 Yes, you are Dawah guys as well.
00:18:58.000 Maybe not directly,
00:18:59.000 but indirectly.
00:19:00.000 You can do Dawah with your appearance.
00:19:01.000 You can do Dawah with your actions,
00:19:02.000 and your manners,
00:19:03.000 and your haq.
00:19:04.000 So,
00:19:05.000 carry on doing your Dawah.
00:19:06.000 Carry on.
00:19:07.000 Don't stop.
00:19:08.000 Carry on doing this,
00:19:09.000 but it does work.
00:19:10.000 People,
00:19:11.000 and I'm sure a lot of people,
00:19:12.000 start wearing hijab,
00:19:13.000 because of your sista dina.
00:19:14.000 Yes,
00:19:15.000 there's a lot of people,
00:19:16.000 who start wearing hijab.
00:19:17.000 Maybe we can argue,
00:19:18.000 okay it's the wrong hijab,
00:19:19.000 whatever.
00:19:20.000 But it's that step towards goodness.
00:19:21.000 You know?
00:19:22.000 But what we're just saying is,
00:19:23.000 inshallah,
00:19:24.000 that carry on.
00:19:25.000 Do not,
00:19:26.000 we've never said that.
00:19:27.000 We just said,
00:19:28.000 do not talk about matters you do not know.
00:19:29.000 You can't,
00:19:30.000 like,
00:19:31.000 if you're a Muslim,
00:19:32.000 and you're living it,
00:19:33.000 it's part of your life,
00:19:34.000 it's very difficult to just,
00:19:35.000 stop showing your Muslim,
00:19:36.000 like,
00:19:37.000 quaring.
00:19:38.000 Every single thing we do,
00:19:39.000 every single part of the day,
00:19:41.000 you're thinking,
00:19:42.000 oh yeah,
00:19:43.000 that's sunnah.
00:19:44.000 You know what I mean?
00:19:45.000 Yeah.
00:19:46.000 I'm very happy,
00:19:47.000 I want to end the video with this.
00:19:48.000 I'm very happy that,
00:19:49.000 Sid and Dina,
00:19:50.000 Alhamdulillah,
00:19:51.000 you know,
00:19:52.000 that his last statement that he said,
00:19:53.000 you know,
00:19:54.000 that's sunnah, etc.
00:19:55.000 That makes us happy.
00:19:56.000 That makes us happy that you,
00:19:57.000 MashaAllah,
00:19:58.000 you guys are connected,
00:19:59.000 Alhamdulillah,
00:20:00.000 you love the sunnah,
00:20:01.000 and I know you guys love Allah and his Messenger.
00:20:02.000 Yeah?
00:20:03.000 We know you can make mistakes,
00:20:04.000 you have said things that were wrong,
00:20:05.000 etc.
00:20:06.000 But,
00:20:07.000 let me tell you something,
00:20:08.000 I'll give you an example of the Prophet,
00:20:09.000 yeah?
00:20:10.000 There was a companion who would drink alcohol,
00:20:11.000 and the companions,
00:20:12.000 they would whip him.
00:20:13.000 Yeah?
00:20:14.000 To stop.
00:20:15.000 And one day,
00:20:16.000 and he would carry on doing this.
00:20:17.000 He would carry on doing this.
00:20:18.000 And one day,
00:20:19.000 one of the companions next to the Prophet,
00:20:21.000 peace be upon him,
00:20:22.000 started cursing this man.
00:20:23.000 Started cursing him.
00:20:24.000 And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam stopped him.
00:20:25.000 He said,
00:20:26.000 do not say that.
00:20:27.000 By Allah,
00:20:28.000 do not say that.
00:20:29.000 Because yes,
00:20:30.000 he is sinning.
00:20:31.000 He is doing something that's major sinning.
00:20:32.000 Yes, he is.
00:20:33.000 Yeah?
00:20:34.000 But he loves Allah and his Messenger.
00:20:35.000 He loves Allah and his Messenger.
00:20:36.000 SubhanAllah.
00:20:37.000 Look at this.
00:20:38.000 In today's time,
00:20:39.000 SubhanAllah,
00:20:40.000 if we had these,
00:20:41.000 you know,
00:20:42.000 cult mentality individuals,
00:20:44.000 you know,
00:20:45.000 yes, it's haram.
00:20:46.000 Kill it.
00:20:47.000 Oh, God's sake.
00:20:48.000 Yeah?
00:20:49.000 He said he loves Allah and his Messenger.
00:20:50.000 And we know,
00:20:51.000 Sid and Deena,
00:20:52.000 you love Allah and his Messenger.
00:20:53.000 We know that.
00:20:54.000 We know that.
00:20:55.000 It's just a video.
00:20:56.000 I wanted to just clarify this.
00:20:57.000 Point inshallah.
00:20:58.000 And make you guys understand.
00:20:59.000 You might just see us as YouTubers.
00:21:01.000 And look,
00:21:02.000 believe me, you don't know.
00:21:03.000 Yeah?
00:21:04.000 Holiday week.
00:21:05.000 I don't remember the last time.
00:21:06.000 I think we were on holiday.
00:21:07.000 Me and Hijab.
00:21:08.000 And not literally holiday.
00:21:09.000 Last year.
00:21:10.000 October.
00:21:11.000 And that was a group of brothers who invited us.
00:21:13.000 They invited us.
00:21:14.000 Yeah?
00:21:15.000 And they paid for everything.
00:21:16.000 We wanted to pay like,
00:21:17.000 at least for food or something.
00:21:18.000 They said no.
00:21:19.000 They did not accept anything from us.
00:21:21.000 This iPad.
00:21:22.000 You know the iPad that I have?
00:21:23.000 They gifted us iPads.
00:21:25.000 Yeah?
00:21:26.000 We went to Turkey and they gifted us iPads.
00:21:27.000 We did not ask for it.
00:21:28.000 So, that's it.
00:21:29.000 Brothers and sisters.
00:21:30.000 Hope that has clarified the matter.
00:21:31.000 Inshallah.
00:21:32.000 May Allah bless you guys.
00:21:33.000 Thanks for watching.
