00:00:00.000 Asalaamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
00:00:18.000 Brothers and sisters and dear friends, welcome to another video.
00:00:21.000 I'm here with Brother Ohi, he's from Iman Channel.
00:00:24.000 Asalaamu Alaikum.
00:00:25.000 He's the sound guy he makes, the sound effects.
00:00:27.000 Inshallah.
00:00:28.000 Yeah, if you remember that, yeah.
00:00:30.000 Okay, so what we're going to do is we're going to react to a video.
00:00:34.000 Let's watch it, let's watch it Inshallah, and see what it's about.
00:00:38.000 Okay.
00:00:57.000 Asalaamu Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
00:01:04.000 Asalaamu Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
00:01:11.000 Asalaamu Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
00:01:18.000 Asalaamu Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
00:01:31.000 Asalaamu Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
00:01:35.000 Okay.
00:01:36.000 Now, reaction videos, some people think reaction is just like watching a video and like, oh,
00:01:40.000 subhanAllah, or start crying.
00:01:42.000 Now, I saw this briefly as well.
00:01:44.000 This is a full clip actually, yeah?
00:01:45.000 What is your reflections when you see that?
00:01:47.000 Like personally for you, when you first saw it as well?
00:01:50.000 When I first saw it, I thought, he's reciting beautifully, you know?
00:01:55.000 Yeah.
00:01:56.000 Yeah.
00:01:57.000 And initially, I thought, my man, like, his chest is probably hurting because he's probably
00:02:02.000 squeezing his chest too much to get out of his vocals.
00:02:04.000 Yeah.
00:02:05.000 And he did kind of like, he had his eye twitching for a second.
00:02:07.000 Yeah.
00:02:08.000 Yeah.
00:02:09.000 So when I first saw it, I didn't know he's going, I mean...
00:02:12.000 Did it ever close your mind that this is what's about to happen next?
00:02:14.000 No.
00:02:15.000 Because to me, I just thought, okay, it's beautiful.
00:02:16.000 Yeah.
00:02:17.000 And I was just like, you know when he's like, okay, mashallah, maybe something I can listen
00:02:19.000 to, save it.
00:02:20.000 But what happened after, like, to you personally, what kind of reflection did you
00:02:25.000 give it to you in your life?
00:02:27.000 Or just anything?
00:02:28.000 Has it changed anything for you?
00:02:29.000 Or is it just...
00:02:30.000 To be honest, I thought, you know what, anything can happen anytime.
00:02:34.000 Exactly.
00:02:35.000 You know what I mean?
00:02:36.000 Like, I could die right now.
00:02:37.000 Yeah.
00:02:38.000 Exactly.
00:02:39.000 The sheikh here, I'm pretty sure he wasn't prepared for that, but it happened. 0.94
00:02:42.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:02:43.000 You know what I mean?
00:02:44.000 Even while he's reciting.
00:02:45.000 I mean, we can talk about how lucky he is and all that.
00:02:47.000 Yeah.
00:02:48.000 That he passed away while reciting.
00:02:50.000 Exactly.
00:02:51.000 But do you know what's more profound?
00:02:52.000 What's that?
00:02:53.000 Now, the first thing that comes to me when I see stuff like this is, okay, what was
00:02:56.000 he reciting?
00:02:57.000 Do you get it?
00:02:58.000 What was he reciting?
00:02:59.000 Okay, it's good.
00:03:00.000 Like, obviously, like, like, most beautiful voice.
00:03:02.000 Yeah.
00:03:03.000 But look at what he's reciting, actually.
00:03:04.000 When I find this out, actually, I got goosebumps, yeah?
00:03:06.000 And I'm not even exaggerating.
00:03:07.000 Yeah.
00:03:08.000 Because it came to my mind, I was like, come on, what was he reciting?
00:03:10.000 And look what he's reciting.
00:03:11.000 And I didn't show you.
00:03:12.000 He who created death and life to test you as to which of you is best indeed.
00:03:19.000 And he is the exalted in might and the forgiven, yeah?
00:03:23.000 SubhanAllah.
00:03:24.000 And he, look, look, Aki, wallah, this is mind-blowing, yeah?
00:03:27.000 And he basically, and SubhanAllah, you know what's so profound?
00:03:30.000 That if my chest was hurting, like, I'll just maybe just stop and panic and just let
00:03:35.000 the person, like, things going on.
00:03:37.000 Yeah.
00:03:38.000 And if you notice, he's carrying on.
00:03:39.000 He's carrying on, yeah.
00:03:40.000 Like, even though he's mumbling, he's actually carrying on.
00:03:43.000 And wallah, he just shows that the Quran, like, was so instilled in him, that as he's 0.87
00:03:48.000 dying, he's just carrying on.
00:03:49.000 Wallah, Aki, I'm being honest, I don't know, yeah?
00:03:51.000 But me personally, I would just be like...
00:03:53.000 Yeah.
00:03:54.000 I would have to stop and tell somebody, he's just carrying on, Aki.
00:03:57.000 Yeah, man.
00:03:58.000 Casually, wallah, Aki, it's amazing.
00:03:59.000 It's amazing.
00:04:00.000 And this verse, Aki, what's your reaction to this verse?
00:04:02.000 He who created death and life to test you as to which of you is the best indeed.
00:04:07.000 Don't tell me that's a coincidence.
00:04:08.000 Like, do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:04:10.000 Yeah.
00:04:11.000 If you live your life based on Islam, yeah? 1.00
00:04:13.000 What this means, and people might misunderstand.
00:04:15.000 Nobody's saying, look, leave this life completely.
00:04:18.000 Yeah?
00:04:19.000 All you have to do is to hear off.
00:04:20.000 Nobody's saying that, yeah?
00:04:21.000 We're not here to, like, depress you and just...
00:04:23.000 What we're just saying, look, death is a reality, yeah?
00:04:25.000 And in one of my reaction videos, let me just show you, let me just quickly show you.
00:04:30.000 I did the death experiment, yeah?
00:04:31.000 Yeah.
00:04:32.000 What we do is, I'll put the clip there, is, there's a mirror.
00:04:35.000 We're looking directly at the mirror.
00:04:36.000 Yeah.
00:04:37.000 We say, this is you right now, obviously, you're looking in the mirror, that's you.
00:04:39.000 We're going to show you a picture of you in the future, yeah?
00:04:41.000 So we turn it around and there's a picture of a casket, yeah?
00:04:44.000 Look how he reacts.
00:04:45.000 No.
00:04:46.000 No.
00:04:47.000 Are you telling me you're not going to die?
00:04:48.000 No.
00:04:49.000 I'm surviving the whole way, lad.
00:04:50.000 The whole way?
00:04:51.000 The whole way.
00:04:52.000 So are you telling me tomorrow if a God forbid a car hits you, you're not going to die?
00:04:54.000 Nah.
00:04:55.000 Come on, mate.
00:04:56.000 Like, everyone's going to die.
00:04:57.000 Of course they are.
00:04:58.000 Okay, do you ever think about death?
00:04:59.000 You're showing me that anyway, lad.
00:05:00.000 Oh, that's what I'm saying.
00:05:01.000 So why are you ****ing that anyway?
00:05:02.000 Okay, so, so...
00:05:03.000 Why are you showing me **** that?
00:05:04.000 Yeah, so what happened? 0.83
00:05:05.000 You don't put...
00:05:06.000 Get that mic off my face. 0.93
00:05:07.000 Why? 0.97
00:05:08.000 Get that mic off my face. 0.99
00:05:09.000 Why are you showing me **** that? 0.99
00:05:10.000 What's wrong with that? 0.92
00:05:11.000 What do you mean what's **** wrong with that?
00:05:12.000 You're coming up to me saying all this.
00:05:13.000 Move that mic off my face, bro.
00:05:14.000 No, no, no. 0.99
00:05:15.000 If I ****ing put the mic off you, bro. 0.98
00:05:16.000 I'm spamming. 0.99
00:05:17.000 I don't care.
00:05:18.000 I don't care if you're doing an experiment.
00:05:20.000 Okay, okay.
00:05:21.000 Look.
00:05:22.000 What's your fault on that?
00:05:24.000 Like...
00:05:25.000 My fault was I think he actually hit him.
00:05:27.000 Yes.
00:05:28.000 I think he actually reacted.
00:05:29.000 And look at the way he's...
00:05:30.000 Look, he's on camera.
00:05:31.000 He knows he's on camera.
00:05:32.000 He's going on an absolute mad one.
00:05:34.000 So, as human beings, we live...
00:05:36.000 Like, I think we're the only creatures on this planet that live like they're not going to die tomorrow.
00:05:40.000 So, when we are reminded of death, I bet you so many people are going to avoid watching this.
00:05:45.000 Yeah?
00:05:46.000 Just because we don't want to...
00:05:47.000 Yeah.
00:05:48.000 I'll do the same as well, bro.
00:05:49.000 Yeah.
00:05:50.000 Alright.
00:05:51.000 Nobody's saying, okay, every day we're reminded of death, but every now and then it's good.
00:05:53.000 Yeah, every now and then, yeah.
00:05:54.000 And, to be honest, I don't want to long it out.
00:05:56.000 But, like I said before, I just want to share one verse with you guys.
00:05:58.000 Like I said before, in the Quran, in chapter 4, Surah Nisa verse 78.
00:06:03.000 Wherever you may be, death will overtake you.
00:06:05.000 Even if you should be within towers of lofty construction.
00:06:08.000 But if good comes to you, then they say, this is from Allah, etc, etc.
00:06:12.000 Guys, we can't run away from death as much as we like, yeah?
00:06:15.000 It's going to find us.
00:06:16.000 The man who is wise, or the woman who is wise, would think of how do I prepare for that, you know? 1.00
00:06:21.000 And you will die the way you live.
00:06:23.000 Meaning, what I was coming to my original point is that, look, practice your religion as much as you can.
00:06:28.000 You dying in a state of meaning, what we mean is, don't die in a state of, you was clubbing, and you was drunk, and whatever it may be.
00:06:35.000 God knows what he's doing, yeah?
00:06:37.000 What we're saying is, yes, may Allah give us a death like that in Salah, etc.
00:06:41.000 However, nobody's saying that you have to die like this to say, okay, mashallah, you're definitely saved.
00:06:46.000 No, what we're saying is, look, for example, imagine you died and you prayed Maghrib. 0.93
00:06:50.000 You prayed your Salah.
00:06:51.000 You didn't miss your Salah.
00:06:52.000 This is what we're trying to say.
00:06:53.000 You died and he was reciting Quran, for example. 1.00
00:06:56.000 Or you died when you was doing an act of charity, yeah?
00:06:59.000 So what we're trying to say is, we're not saying you have to be like, you can be like them, but nobody's saying you have to be like a big sheikh. 0.91
00:07:05.000 Big sheikh, you should aspire to, but do your little thing what you can do. 1.00
00:07:09.000 Give him charity, help people.
00:07:10.000 Imagine you was feeding a neighbour of a person, and you passed away.
00:07:13.000 Do you know what I'm trying to say?
00:07:14.000 So that's about it, guys, from me and Brother Ohi.
00:07:16.000 Maybe we might have him more on the show.
00:07:18.000 Is there any last words? Anything you want to say?
00:07:20.000 No, not really, to be honest.
00:07:22.000 But even this reaction video, doing this, it actually made me think as well.
00:07:26.000 Yeah.
00:07:27.000 It's a reflection for all of us.
00:07:28.000 May Allah bless you, Brother Waheed.
00:07:29.000 You too, bro.
00:07:30.000 May Allah bless every single one of you guys.
