00:01:05.940 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:01:08.840 Hope you guys are well, inshallah.
00:01:10.340 So, as you guys may know or not know, Central C, who's a rapper,
00:01:13.720 I don't know nothing about, don't know his popularity, but has accepted Islam.
00:01:18.700 So, this is someone, if I'm not mistaken, is in the rap world, etc.
00:01:21.240 We know how the rap world is.
00:01:22.860 From the lyrics, to the lifestyle, to God knows what goes behind the scenes, subhanAllah,
00:01:27.920 with all this madness, subhanAllah.
00:01:30.220 They live in a very dark world.
00:01:32.140 You get it.
00:01:32.420 Everything is materialism, hedonism, selfishness about oneself, pure desires.
00:01:38.480 And it's a scene where a lot of people leave depressed, drug abuse,
00:01:42.500 and whatever it is for that matter, inshallah.
00:01:44.800 Their soul is deprived.
00:01:46.780 Their soul is starving.
00:01:47.640 And that's why they sometimes turn into spirituality.
00:01:49.840 So, Central C, it seems like, when you live that lifestyle,
00:01:52.280 and I can kind of relate in the sense where I wasn't a rapper,
00:01:54.920 but I lived a similar lifestyle.
00:01:56.780 And that lifestyle, what it does, it leaves you empty.
00:01:58.640 Because you're trying to get the next high.
00:02:00.820 You're living for other people.
00:02:01.900 And it's so depressing because the people that are around you,
00:02:04.400 be it your girlfriend or boyfriend or money, this, that,
00:02:06.860 and friends around you, you don't know if they are there for you, for real.
00:02:09.520 If they are genuine friends.
00:02:11.020 And it's such a depressing life to know that you are with someone,
00:02:13.020 and you're not to know if that person is genuinely there for you,
00:02:16.140 or for different reasons.
00:02:17.220 And because you live in a society where everything is about selfishness and oneself,
00:02:21.060 it's a very depressing place to be.
00:02:22.640 Because in Islam, it's not about selfishness.
00:02:24.780 It's about the community.
00:02:25.540 It's about your brother and sister.
00:02:26.540 That's why the Prophet ï·º said,
00:02:27.760 love for your brother and sister, what you love for yourself.
00:02:29.520 And when you have a community,
00:02:30.700 like Alhamdulillah here in Salah Pro Studios,
00:02:32.100 I'm around beautiful brothers, Alhamdulillah,
00:02:34.280 and our sisters team, subhanAllah,
00:02:35.880 you know, working with the sisters team.
00:02:37.320 You can see that, you know, the brotherhood is so important.
00:02:39.600 Because you don't feel like, oh, this person is there for me because of ABC.
00:02:43.300 There's genuine.
00:02:43.900 And that really nourishes the soul to know that you've got genuine brothers and sisters.
00:02:48.300 So, and that's really important on this topic,
00:02:50.000 because we're going to watch the video of Central C talking about him taking a shahada.
00:02:54.340 Then we're going to go to him taking a picture with someone called Doja Cat.
00:02:58.520 She's a female rapper in the music industry called Doja Cat.
00:03:02.040 And what happened is the internet went crazy.
00:03:04.120 The Muslims went absolutely crazy.
00:03:05.040 We couldn't see the comment section because I think he deleted the comment.
00:03:07.980 So let's first go to the video of his claiming that him being a Muslim.
00:03:11.800 Bro, scam, like...
00:03:12.260 I just changed my name here.
00:03:13.140 I took my shahada, innit, man?
00:03:14.180 That ass?
00:03:14.820 Yeah, Muslim.
00:03:16.200 Thank you, bro.
00:03:16.960 Congrats.
00:03:17.560 Love you.
00:03:18.500 Congrats, bro.
00:03:19.400 New name still.
00:03:21.760 Name's Akil now, innit?
00:03:23.280 Oakley!
00:03:24.760 Yeah!
00:03:28.180 Okay, so you can see he's changed his name to Akil.
00:03:30.180 And also he's British.
00:03:31.320 I thought he was an American.
00:03:32.020 He's a British rapper.
00:03:33.240 So I think he's changed his name to Akil.
00:03:35.320 Alhamdulillah.
00:03:35.900 Which is not a must, but yeah.
00:03:37.460 So this is one video of him.
00:03:39.460 And there was another brother reacting to it.
00:03:40.940 Let's just quickly watch that and then go to the actual post where he took a picture.
00:03:45.240 And he wrote in the picture, I seek refuge in Allah.
00:03:48.400 Something along those lines.
00:03:49.180 Let's just quickly see this reaction as well.
00:03:50.920 Central Sea is facing backlash after he stated he wants to seek refuge in Allah from the devil of the evil.
00:03:57.800 And he posted this while standing next to Doja Cat.
00:04:01.160 Okay, so here is a post that he made.
00:04:04.260 And we want to know why the internet went so wild.
00:04:05.680 And specifically Muslims.
00:04:06.480 And this is becoming really, really toxic.
00:04:08.220 You guys, well, sorry.
00:04:09.680 I don't mean you guys.
00:04:10.700 But Muslims out there, subhanAllah, who are driving people away from Islam.
00:04:13.740 So let's watch the video, inshaAllah.
00:04:15.080 Let's see what the post said.
00:04:16.100 So the post he made was, Central Sea, I seek refuge in Allah from the devil of the evil.
00:04:22.600 Okay, so he's taking a picture with somebody who's known to be moving a bit satanic, et cetera.
00:04:26.400 So let's watch it for ourselves, inshaAllah.
00:04:28.040 So half of social media believes that he genuinely was being serious because he was standing next to Doja Cat.
00:04:34.600 And his reactions while he was next to her with what she was wearing was just wild.
00:04:38.600 So he posted, I seek refuge in Allah from the devil of evil.
00:04:42.340 This man has 14,000 comments from the Muslim community getting on him for disrespecting their religion, bro.
00:04:50.160 Well, the Muslim community did not take too kindly to that, stating that if he's going to put that in his caption,
00:04:56.420 he shouldn't put that while standing next to what Doja Cat had on and what Doja Cat stands for.
00:05:02.500 So people feel like he's making fun of the religion right now.
00:05:05.080 So the backlash is crazy.
00:05:07.060 So, I mean, this is where things get a bit toxic with the Muslim community, sadly.
00:05:11.740 Let's be honest, inshaAllah.
00:05:12.960 People need to be called out.
00:05:14.000 Yes, there are genuine people who are causing fitna and mischief on the land, subhanAllah.
00:05:21.100 They should be called out.
00:05:22.120 And alhamdulillah, I'm someone, I'll be honest, I'm in the forefront of doing that to those who need to do it.
00:05:26.640 And alhamdulillah, it should be done with good manners and akhlaq and adam.
00:05:29.140 Okay, those who are, you know, causing hate towards the opposite gender, vice versa, calling for evil, whatever that might be.
00:05:35.260 However, you've got somebody who just accepted Islam, central seat.
00:05:37.860 How are you expecting that person to change overnight?
00:05:40.980 I'm so sorry.
00:05:41.500 When I came to Islam, I had a lot of bad traits.
00:05:44.920 Bro, so much.
00:05:46.300 Bro, I'm working on sins from Jahiliyyah till this day.
00:05:49.620 Till this day, 13 years Muslim.
00:05:52.160 In the Dawah, I'm working on sins and bad habits.
00:05:55.800 It doesn't happen overnight.
00:05:57.540 Sheikh Albani, he used to drive an automatic car.
00:06:01.060 Yes, or a manual car in Syria, if I'm mistaken.
00:06:03.380 When he went to Saudi, they gave him an automatic car.
00:06:06.560 And he would keep looking for the clutch, because he was used to driving manual.
00:06:10.100 And every time he would look for the clutch, he would press the brake and it would have a sudden stop.
00:06:13.480 And he said, subhanAllah, look how long it's taking me to adapt.
00:06:17.980 And sometimes when we give nasir to someone, we expect immediate changes.
00:06:22.340 He took a reminder out of an automatic car, going from manual to automatic, and saying, subhanAllah, look how long it's taking me to adapt to this.
00:06:28.160 And even Sheikh Albani, may Allah have mercy on him, said, the truth is already hard for people to accept.
00:06:34.960 Don't make it hard with your ill manners.
00:06:37.440 In the Quran, in Surah Hujrat, verse 9 or 11, Allah SWT says, avoid negative assumptions, for some negative assumptions is a sin.
00:06:45.480 The fact that you're going out there and saying he's mocking the deen, what evidence do you have?
00:06:49.300 He's accepted Islam.
00:06:50.880 Doesn't need to say he's made it.
00:06:51.800 He's changed his name, alhamdulillah.
00:06:52.820 Okay, okay, doesn't, he didn't have to.
00:06:55.120 He's a new Muslim.
00:06:55.960 He's in an industry.
00:06:56.980 You can't just accept him tomorrow to come and be like, yeah, I'm going to the masjid.
00:07:01.200 Wallahi, I find it ajeeb.
00:07:02.280 Allah says in the Quran to the Prophet, we found you lost and we guided you.
00:07:05.880 Why do you expect immediate changes, bro?
00:07:09.260 How long did it take you?
00:07:10.940 And you still, and the funny thing is, those people who come in and give hate to Central Sea,
00:07:15.060 are the same people who are God knows doing what evil sins in their home.
00:07:18.820 And you're there chatting, oh, you're mocking the religion.
00:07:21.440 My friend, do you really take your religion seriously?
00:07:23.960 Is it?
00:07:24.200 Why do you stop all those sins that you're doing?
00:07:25.400 Or how long did it take you, sister, to wear the hijab and the niqab?
00:07:28.920 Or brother, how long did it take you to stop those sins that he was doing and transactions in riba and haram?
00:07:33.260 God knows how long.
00:07:34.380 So why is it that you have this expectation when it comes to others?
00:07:37.080 And we know that one of the companions who went to war, and the man said, listen, I accept Islam.
00:07:42.360 He said, nope.
00:07:43.520 He executed him.
00:07:44.880 And he came to the Prophet, and he told him, the Prophet got upset.
00:07:47.860 He said, did you?
00:07:48.680 He said, why did you do that?
00:07:49.580 He said, he was only doing that out of fear.
00:07:52.040 He said, did you open his heart and see that he was doing that only out of fear, not from true submission?
00:07:56.680 Yeah?
00:07:57.380 And Allah, there's a verse in the Quran, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talks about, believe is not giving salam to others.
00:08:01.960 Why?
00:08:02.700 Because of assumptions.
00:08:04.540 How do you know?
00:08:05.520 How do you know that he is in that industry?
00:08:08.140 He's still going to be involved in that industry.
00:08:09.860 And he genuinely meant that and said, I seek refuge in the devil of the evil.
00:08:13.660 He's next to someone who's satanic.
00:08:15.420 And she makes satanist music.
00:08:16.520 Okay, so if he's there, he's like, listen, bro, I'm here.
00:08:20.480 She's there.
00:08:21.000 A picture was taken, whatever.
00:08:22.080 It's not that easy to say, oh, sorry, I can't take pictures with you now.
00:08:24.540 It doesn't work like that.
00:08:25.520 He's still in that industry.
00:08:26.980 How do you expect him?
00:08:27.880 What do you want him to do?
00:08:28.900 Push him away from Islam and say, you know what?
00:08:30.720 I don't fit in.
00:08:31.580 We had someone who called on the Dao Bros podcast live and said, listen, I don't belong here, bro.
00:08:36.500 We said, why?
00:08:37.400 And Alhamdulillah, he came back to Islam after we had to convince him and make dua.
00:08:41.840 He said, bro, I've got tattoos.
00:08:43.020 I go, people judge me.
00:08:44.240 Oh, look, you got tattoos.
00:08:45.280 He goes, I didn't fit in.
00:08:47.400 Why are you guys making people feel alien, bro?
00:08:51.080 I don't care if he's wearing an earring.
00:08:52.580 He's got tattoos on his eyelids, bro.
00:08:54.520 I don't care if he says the Shahada, he is a Muslim and you need to give him space and let him have his journey.
00:09:01.500 Because believe me, if you play a role in him leaving Islam, you are going to take that blame.
00:09:06.440 Yes, get off your arrogant, high horse, righteous behavior.
00:09:09.880 Okay, because Allah will punish you.
00:09:12.020 Believe me, I know of people who have left Islam or fallen off the deen
00:09:15.260 because of the same arrogant attitude looking down at people.
00:09:18.440 He's an innovator.
00:09:19.500 He's a kafir.
00:09:20.620 Guess what happens?
00:09:21.600 Allah tests them.
00:09:22.680 Why?
00:09:23.080 Because of arrogance.
00:09:24.560 It's not that they genuinely care.
00:09:26.020 It's because they are nitpickers.
00:09:27.500 Like Ibn Taymiyyah says, some people are like flies.
00:09:30.140 Yes, they only land on poo and feces.
00:09:33.440 Yes, they don't go anywhere else.
00:09:34.820 Anything good?
00:09:35.300 No, no, no.
00:09:35.520 We're going for the poo.
00:09:36.440 We're going for the feces.
00:09:37.340 We're going for the wounds.
00:09:38.520 Where all the bad things are.
00:09:40.080 Don't be a fly that lands on poo.
00:09:42.840 Give people time to get closer to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in their own time.
00:09:47.220 So Central C, if you're watching this, here are our charity.

00:10:22.600 We just want him to connect to his Lord and learn how to pray salah.
00:10:25.640 And for those Muslims who are giving him hate, shame on you.
00:10:28.100 Okay, stop jumping to speculations and accusations and assumptions.
00:10:32.200 For verily, it can be a sin.
00:10:33.700 That's all I wanted to say, inshallah, brothers and sisters.
00:10:35.260 May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala keep Central C firm in his deen and make him somebody who represents the deen
00:10:39.680 and bring other people to Islam.
00:10:41.300 Till next time.
00:10:42.420 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
