00:00:00.000 Well, I'm going to tell you what exactly happened, how £1,000 was stolen from this car.

00:00:18.820 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:21.640 What's that noise behind me?
00:00:22.780 It sounds like a Ferrari, but that's what many people think when I'm driving down the road
00:00:26.000 and they hear this.
00:00:27.280 Well, I'm going to tell you what exactly happened,
00:00:28.600 how £1,000 was stolen from this car.
00:00:30.620 But before I do that, I just want to let you guys know,
00:00:32.200 this car is not owned by me.
00:00:33.040 It's a Prius, beautiful car.
00:00:34.020 I'm going to talk about it, but it's owned by this rental company.
00:00:37.240 So, this rental company, brothers and sisters,
00:00:38.840 alhamdulillah, have helped me with this car.
00:00:40.400 But let's go inside.
00:00:41.300 Let me tell you the story.
00:00:41.960 Follow me.
00:00:44.460 Time to turn it off.
00:00:45.180 Get in the car.
00:00:45.560 Let's talk about this now.
00:00:46.840 Now, guys, let me tell you guys what happened.
00:00:48.300 Oh, oh, one second.
00:00:49.480 There we go.
00:00:50.620 Let's get the wife in there.
00:00:52.240 Those fumes.
00:00:53.480 So, guys, this is what happened.
00:00:56.240 Before I come to this, what happened,
00:00:57.200 let me tell you a bit about this car here,
00:00:58.280 because, you see, I've driven a lot of cars in my life.
00:01:00.120 Yeah, different, different cars, alhamdulillah.
00:01:01.620 I drive the C-Class.
00:01:02.720 I drive the E-Class.
00:01:03.520 I drive the GLE.
00:01:05.200 I've drive many cars that I didn't personally own myself.
00:01:08.140 However, one thing that I found very similarities
00:01:10.260 between this car and that car,
00:01:11.620 and I'm going to tell you why I'm mentioning this,
00:01:12.840 and we're going to come to the £1,000, yeah?
00:01:14.840 And alhamdulillah, when you get into the car, for example,
00:01:16.940 you don't need to unlock it.
00:01:18.120 You just put your hand.
00:01:19.160 And the E-Class had that very same feature.
00:01:20.820 It's got rear view camera.
00:01:22.060 The E-Class had that feature.
00:01:23.320 And let me be honest, with the E-Class,
00:01:24.840 when I was going over bumps, it was quite rough.
00:01:26.800 With this, it's actually quite smooth.
00:01:28.720 It takes me from A to B.
00:01:29.880 I do my shopping,
00:01:31.000 and me and my family don't have to be standing out
00:01:32.500 in the rain, in the cold, et cetera.
00:01:34.780 And alhamdulillah, it provides for me.
00:01:36.100 I make a living, a halal income,
00:01:37.940 instead of going and doing drugs or killing people
00:01:39.920 to earn a halal income.
00:01:41.220 And this is what we're going to come to
00:01:42.080 about the income matter, yeah?
00:01:43.280 Now, let's put that to a side.
00:01:44.280 That wasn't the reason I was doing this video.
00:01:45.440 The reason I'm mentioning that is, guys,
00:01:46.900 because I'm a YouTuber, I'm an influencer.
00:01:48.020 A lot of people think I drive a lavish cars, et cetera,
00:01:49.780 live a lavish lifestyle.
00:01:51.020 Not really, alhamdulillah.
00:01:51.860 If I have the means, there's nothing wrong with that.
00:01:53.640 Don't get it twisted.
00:01:54.180 If I have the means, I will buy myself a nice car.
00:01:56.800 Don't worry about that.
00:01:57.340 Anyways, but the point behind that is,
00:01:58.880 brothers and sisters, be proud.
00:01:59.940 I don't hide myself when people are going like,
00:02:01.560 oh my gosh, they're going to see Ali Dao in the Prius.
00:02:03.520 Alhamdulillah, this was Jahili.
00:02:04.640 I used to think like, oh, I don't want people to think,
00:02:06.560 brothers and sisters, alhamdulillah, we are happy,
00:02:07.980 and you should be happy and proud.
00:02:09.120 Get rid of this mentality of enslavement.
00:02:11.480 Now, anyways, let's get to the clocks of the matter.
00:02:14.260 Yeah.
00:02:14.820 So, basically, what happened, brothers and sisters,
00:02:16.180 a couple of days ago, I came to my car,
00:02:19.540 and the car sounded just how you guys heard it.
00:02:21.640 And I was thinking, like, I thought, did the engine blow up or something?
00:02:23.860 Yeah.
00:02:24.500 That wasn't the case.
00:02:25.580 So, what it was, I thought, okay, you know,
00:02:27.240 there's some kind of a hole in the exhaust pipe.
00:02:29.420 And then I rang the mechanics, and they said to me,
00:02:31.800 it might be the case that actually your car,
00:02:34.080 they've stolen your catalytic converter.
00:02:36.360 Yes, that's what it's called.
00:02:37.540 And I thought, okay, not a big deal, probably like 1,500 pounds.
00:02:40.060 And it goes to me, no, it's actually 1,000 pounds.
00:02:41.560 I was at about one with three zeros at the end, fam.
00:02:43.460 He's at, yeah.
00:02:44.120 So, I was like thinking, oh, man, 1,000 pounds worth,
00:02:47.160 because it has some kind of chrome in it.
00:02:48.480 So, brothers and sisters, the reason I'm doing this video
00:02:51.220 is to talk about rizq, yeah, people's income.
00:02:54.340 Now, you can be a thief.
00:02:55.660 This can be a video to those who might be thefts, thieves, yeah?
00:02:59.260 And for those who earn a halal income.
00:03:02.280 You earn a halal income, you don't, you're a thief,
00:03:04.360 whatever right you take from somebody else,
00:03:06.760 you need to understand something.
00:03:07.740 Do you not ever think you have gained something extra?
00:03:10.520 You've gained nothing extra, except you've gained sins.
00:03:13.480 Let me tell you how.
00:03:14.340 Brothers and sisters, Allah SWT says to us that,
00:03:16.360 in the Quran, if I'm mistaken, that the birds,
00:03:18.460 he feeds the birds.
00:03:19.280 They go out from the nest for their risk,
00:03:20.960 and they come back with their tummies full.
00:03:22.680 And Allah SWT has a creation of millions and trillions and billions,
00:03:26.420 even microorganisms in our body that eat on different things.
00:03:29.940 So, brothers and sisters, Allah SWT provides for everyone,
00:03:32.260 except those who are starving to death,
00:03:33.540 and that's because of our stinginess,
00:03:35.560 and us not giving in donations, and et cetera.
00:03:38.420 And even that we blame to God.
00:03:39.500 Oh, God, why is that?
00:03:40.320 Yeah, et cetera.
00:03:41.100 Anyways, the point behind this is, brothers and sisters,
00:03:43.000 is that, when somebody steals something off you,
00:03:46.380 brothers and sisters, Allah SWT has written your risk.
00:03:49.620 That thief, that thief didn't gain a thousand pounds from me.
00:03:52.840 He didn't.
00:03:53.400 He took something which was going to come to him in a halal way,
00:03:56.140 but he earned it in a haram way.
00:03:57.540 So that thousand pounds, or whatever it may be,
00:03:59.240 was going to come to him,
00:04:00.640 but he chose to seek it in a haram way,
00:04:03.980 and he didn't gain anything extra.
00:04:05.880 And this is profound.
00:04:06.700 He didn't gain a thousand pounds extra.
00:04:08.100 All he gained was the sense behind that.
00:04:09.820 And I ask Allah to forgive him.
00:04:11.240 And I ask Allah to guide him to Islam.
00:04:13.560 Genuinely, I ask that, yeah?
00:04:15.820 Monetary things, they don't really faze me.
00:04:19.060 Money, et cetera, let that be gone,
00:04:21.320 rather than my health or my iman.
00:04:23.080 As long as these two are, alhamdulillah, in check,
00:04:24.920 and even though Allah SWT sometimes will test you
00:04:26.400 with the iman or the health.
00:04:27.720 But my point is this, brothers and sisters,
00:04:29.040 when you're earning a halal income,
00:04:30.060 when I work sometimes and I do Uber,
00:04:31.660 shaitan comes to me.
00:04:32.560 It's asr time.
00:04:33.260 I need to pay asr.
00:04:34.520 Well, hold on a second.
00:04:35.520 A job just came.
00:04:36.620 Two times surcharge.
00:04:37.640 You know what that means?
00:04:38.260 I make double the money.
00:04:38.960 Shaitan comes.
00:04:39.940 You know what?
00:04:40.120 You can come pray later.
00:04:41.740 Hold on a second.
00:04:42.420 Let's suppose I take that risk and I miss my salah.
00:04:44.220 My salah is gone.
00:04:45.320 Did I earn anything extra?
00:04:46.660 No.
00:04:47.200 That was written for me.
00:04:48.500 So why would I risk losing my salah
00:04:50.240 over something, an income that Allah has already written for me?
00:04:53.400 Shaitan is an enemy.
00:04:54.920 That's why Allah says in the Quran,
00:04:56.660 take him as an enemy.
00:04:58.680 So, brothers and sisters,
00:04:59.480 my reminder for this video in a nutshell
00:05:01.140 was that.
00:05:02.220 Is the following that do not think
00:05:04.140 that you're going to earn something extra
00:05:05.660 by taking from someone
00:05:06.660 or being jealous of someone
00:05:07.640 because of their success
00:05:08.500 Wallahi, all you're doing
00:05:09.620 is taking away from your mental well-being
00:05:11.100 and all you're doing is incurring sins.
00:05:12.960 That was my reminder, inshallah.
00:05:14.380 And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:05:15.220 protect us and make us firm
00:05:16.440 to have tawakkil in him
00:05:17.420 to, inshallah, trust him
00:05:19.000 with whatever we provided
00:05:20.340 and don't go to means of haram.
00:05:22.140 Till next time.
00:05:23.280 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
00:05:25.120 From the Prius Ferrari.
00:05:26.120 Goodbye.
00:05:27.040 Goodbye.
