In this episode, we visit the homeless and ask them what they would like to give towards the war in Yemen, Syria and other parts of the world where people are starving to death. Do they give towards it because they have near to nothing, or are they more generous than me and decide to give something that might be half their wealth or all their wealth?

00:00:00.000 Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:03.460 I've come to Central London today for a very specific reason.
00:00:06.180 I'm going to go and visit the homeless people and tell them about what's going on in Yemen, Syria and other parts of the world
00:00:11.220 where we're trying to provide 500,000 meals for them.
00:00:14.360 Is the homeless going to give towards it because they have near to nothing?
00:00:19.260 Or are they more generous than me and you?
00:00:21.700 And decide to give something that might be half their wealth or all their wealth?
00:00:25.080 Let's go and find out. Follow me.
00:00:30.000 Assalamu alaikum guys. So I'm here with, what's your name?
00:00:36.700 My name is Dino.
00:00:37.720 Dino, my name is Ali. Nice meeting you.
00:00:39.720 Dino, yeah, I was talking to you about, if you remember, about the situation in Yemen.
00:00:43.660 So where are you from originally?
00:00:45.520 My family was born in Romania.
00:00:48.620 Yeah.
00:00:48.960 My parents.
00:00:49.860 Yeah.
00:00:50.360 I was born in Vietnam.
00:00:51.640 Okay.
00:00:52.100 So the situation in Yemen, there's a war going on.
00:00:55.080 And because of war, there's been some embargo and, you know, boycott.
00:01:00.020 Etc.
00:01:00.460 So now there is no food going there.
00:01:02.600 There are people literally starving to death.
00:01:05.060 Now, I know your situation is also not good.
00:01:07.340 You know, but here at least we can find something to eat.
00:01:09.860 People there are literally starving.
00:01:11.700 So I wanted to ask if there's anything that you would like to give with your own discretion towards the Yemeni.
00:01:17.480 Because whatever you give me, I'm going to go around to all the homeless people today and take whatever it is, two pounds, three pounds, whatever, and give that towards the donation.
00:01:26.400 The aim behind this is to show people that people like yourself who do not have much, if you can give, they should also give.
00:01:33.520 So it's up to you, whatever you want to give, 5p, 10p.
00:01:36.580 It's up to you if you want to give that is.
00:01:38.620 Yeah.
00:01:38.900 So, yeah.
00:01:39.480 Well, for me it's very difficult to give someone because I got nothing.
00:01:45.060 Exactly.
00:01:45.720 I got nothing.
00:01:46.700 Exactly.
00:01:47.280 If you're up for it, if you're not, totally understandable.
00:01:51.000 Yeah.
00:01:51.500 I'm not examining the position, you give stuff away.
00:01:53.500 Yeah, exactly, exactly.
00:01:55.800 But even if you had like 5p, even if it's five pence.
00:02:00.080 Yeah.
00:02:00.440 So do you mind if we, like, okay, here we go.
00:02:03.360 Let's not miss that opportunity.
00:02:05.000 Do you have any, like, if you were to give like 10p or 5p?
00:02:10.580 If you want, if you want, if you don't want.
00:02:12.500 If there's anything you would like to give, it's totally up to you.
00:02:15.820 Like, even if it's 10p.
00:02:18.440 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:19.520 Thank you.
00:02:20.400 You know what?
00:02:20.800 Look, that's 45p, yeah?
00:02:22.680 No, no, thank you, thank you.
00:02:23.740 You know?
00:02:24.160 I just want to go.
00:02:24.840 No, no, no, no, of course.
00:02:26.180 I really appreciate that, you know?
00:02:27.400 The thing is here, guys, the importance is this.
00:02:29.400 He doesn't even have much.
00:02:31.100 And 45p, yeah?
00:02:33.360 And this means so much because to someone like him,
00:02:35.780 who doesn't have anything, for him to give this.
00:02:42.540 Okay, guys, so basically, what's your name, by the way?
00:02:44.560 Andy.
00:02:45.140 Andy.
00:02:45.520 So we're here with Andy.
00:02:46.840 We're just talking to him, explaining to him what we're doing.
00:02:48.580 And as we were speaking, to ask permission if we can film,
00:02:50.920 obviously he's now, there you go.
00:02:52.620 Okay, look, there you go, look.
00:02:54.340 If you want a piece of bread, if you've got a piece of bread,
00:02:56.920 just do it in the water.
00:02:58.700 Exactly.
00:02:59.360 Because the water, in time, is going like that.
00:03:01.920 Yeah.
00:03:02.340 It's coming back.
00:03:03.360 Exactly, exactly.
00:03:04.300 And that's what we believe in Islam.
00:03:05.520 I'm a Muslim.
00:03:05.920 It's coming back.
00:03:06.540 We believe what you give.
00:03:07.940 Whatever you do, it's coming back to you.
00:03:10.400 Exactly.
00:03:10.660 Do the right things, it'll come back to you.
00:03:12.560 Yes.
00:03:12.880 Do the wrong things, it'll come back to you.
00:03:14.620 Yes, exactly.
00:03:15.340 Do the right things.
00:03:16.100 Yes, exactly.
00:03:16.800 No, thank you, man.
00:03:18.120 Dino, thank you very much.
00:03:19.400 This, I'm going to put this towards the charity, inshallah.
00:03:22.840 Look, we said to him, look, we said to him, even if you give 5p, Andy is homeless.
00:03:27.900 You can see his situation.
00:03:29.500 But look how generous he is.
00:03:30.940 He's given two pounds, yeah?
00:03:32.480 I said, look, even if you can give 5p or 10p, and this means so much, guys.
00:03:37.320 Because if you think about it, this could be maybe half of his wealth, or even all of his wealth.
00:03:42.180 Basically, we started a fundraiser.
00:03:43.800 We've raised around nearly 80,000 pounds.
00:03:47.060 So, anything that's given towards it, we were trying to reach 100, but this will motivate people, you know, to give, yeah.
00:03:53.660 But thank you.
00:03:54.220 Look, I really, really appreciate the fact that, and by the way, once we've done the video, I'm going to come and show you exactly what you've given.
00:04:01.640 I'm going to transfer this straight from my account to there, because it has to be bank transfer.
00:04:06.580 So, somebody gave 45p, and you gave 2 pounds, Andy.
00:04:09.560 Thank you very much.
00:04:10.120 It really means so much.
00:04:11.200 Brothers and sisters, we went out there to a couple of people who are homeless, subhanAllah, and we asked them.
00:04:16.000 And, subhanAllah, we went to about three or four, and two of them gave something, subhanAllah, which is 2 pounds, 45p.
00:04:22.460 And that, to me, means a lot, brothers and sisters.
00:04:24.540 And if they can do it, why can't we do it, subhanAllah, brothers and sisters. 0.66
00:04:27.820 And we need this to go to Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, for people to be fed.
00:04:32.080 Basic humanitarian needs, brothers and sisters, subhanAllah.
00:04:35.420 Food, water, that is all they need, brothers and sisters, inshallah.
00:04:39.220 60 pounds, feed their family for an entire month.
00:04:41.680 You guys spend 60 pounds on the steak.
00:04:44.380 Guys, go to the link and give, inshallah.
00:04:46.120 May Allah bless you guys.
00:04:46.800 Hope you enjoy this video.
00:04:48.060 This is the reason I did it, inshallah.
00:04:49.240 May Allah accept it from us.
00:04:50.380 And you, make the most out of it, because today might be the last day of Ramadan, brothers and sisters.
00:04:54.400 And we might not see the next one.
00:04:56.400 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
00:04:58.240 So we'll be on our way that we're here when we ready for this video.
