00:00:00.000 The worship of your skin, the worship of yourself is one of the acts of worship that people don't

00:00:04.040 talk about enough. Where the evils of Israel right now, these are people who believe so much 0.75

00:00:09.580 that they're chosen but not chosen to spread the word of God. Chosen meaning that they are superior 0.98

00:00:13.620 and that they could commit acts of genocide and evil around the world because the rest are 0.51

00:00:18.300 subhuman, the rest are goyim, and we are the superior class of what they believe in. And so

00:00:22.920 adopting this with any other belief, this is the reason that they do the evil they do. You can't

00:00:29.220 see what israel is doing and then repeat the racial superiority so i want to go around the 0.97

00:00:33.920 world again i know some of you have different beliefs about indonesia but indonesia is the

00:00:38.620 most muslim country demographically by population in the world they say it's a brown religion well

00:00:43.480 indonesia is an asian country and if you follow population then this is the representative of

00:00:48.420 islam when you look at basi and you see the eid prayer and it's all white people you said oh well

00:00:52.560 christian christianity is a white religion what are you going to call these people they're far 0.99

00:00:56.600 whiter than america and it's not because any race is superior it's because we're only superior 0.68

00:01:01.920 through works through what you do we're not judged on what we look like and where we're born we're

00:01:06.740 judged off of what's in our heart and what we put out into the world this is what i want people to

00:01:11.080 know is the most important hello everyone uh by the way my name is hakim i just want to let you

00:04:24.720 To everyone that just joined in through the live stream,

00:04:27.720 or if you were here in the cafe,

00:04:29.740 you missed a very incredible moment.

00:04:31.740 And it was a song about a very horrible genocide leader, but sung in a very beautiful way.

00:04:39.440 My name is Hakim, and this is Faith Field Podcast.

00:04:43.020 Faith Field Podcast is brought to you by Faith Events, and we would like to give a big shout-out to Rewired Bookstore for hosting us tonight.

00:05:08.280 Is that okay to call you that, Brother Warner?

00:05:09.620 Yes, okay.

00:05:10.920 So, before we get into tonight's conversation, I just want to take a moment to acknowledge

00:05:16.000 the both of you for the work that you've been doing through your platforms and your openness.

00:05:21.460 in sharing your journeys you've helped make conversations about islam not just feel relatable

00:05:27.620 real but i think a key element there is also you've made it relevant you know in today's times

00:05:33.940 especially for you know the youth so so many young people today are searching for meaning identity

00:05:40.660 direction and i think it's powerful that you use your voices or your platform to bring them

00:05:47.540 a little bit closer to faith.

00:05:49.440 So big round of applause to you guys.

00:05:51.360 Thank you for the intro. Thanks.

00:05:54.860 We're also here with

00:05:55.640 everybody else in the room, so I'm glad you guys

00:05:57.760 came. I appreciate your time, and I hope

00:05:59.700 this is a good conversation.

00:06:01.560 It's been a great first day in your country,

00:06:03.940 and thank you so much for having us so far.

00:06:06.440 Most welcome. Thank you for

00:06:07.700 being here, honestly.

00:06:09.480 So,

00:06:10.340 let's dive in a little bit about the

00:06:13.660 internal journey of being

00:06:15.700 a Muslim, right? Or being an Islam. A lot of people discover Islam through identity, community, 0.94

00:06:22.340 or even maybe controversy, right? But what was the first thing that Islam forced you to confront 0.86

00:06:30.400 about yourself? Like, for example, for me, right? The biggest thing I had to confront about myself, 0.90

00:06:36.520 although I was born Muslim, I had a rough time adapting to the whole Muslim life. And the first 1.00

00:06:43.460 thing that Islam made me confront about myself was the fact that I loved people more than my 0.96

00:06:49.500 creator and that created a very weird space for me but how was it for you guys that's a good

00:06:58.140 comparison I think I can relate especially in the content creator world I had a pretty famous

00:07:04.200 streamer call me recently I'm not going to name him but he called me it was pretty bitter because

00:07:08.480 like when you do this for a long time you meet all different types of people this morning for

00:07:13.060 example, I had the pleasure of meeting PMX, Anwar Ibrahim, the Prime Minister of Malaysia,

00:07:18.800 which was a great opportunity, a great conversation. But when you get to a certain level,

00:07:23.960 you start to meet all the celebrities and all the presidents and you meet everybody and it just

00:07:28.640 becomes a daily occurrence. And in the beginning for many people, it becomes, you meet all the

00:07:34.880 expectations you had when you were a kid. When you're a kid, you want to meet LeBron James and

00:07:38.700 all the superstars and everything like that. And after several years at the top, when that becomes

00:07:42.400 a routine becomes something regular you lose the spark it's like you know first going out

00:07:49.900 partying if anyone's done that before people when they first drink you're laughing but i mean

00:07:54.340 i come from the what's the word jahalil they come from that lifestyle it becomes like oh my god the

00:07:59.560 big party and after a while look at all alcoholics and drug addicts they have to keep upping it and

00:08:04.740 upping it just to get the same sense of high and so the streamers that are at that level they just

00:08:09.820 just become kind of depressed about it after a while, because when that is their measurement

00:08:14.740 of success, you run out of the juice really quickly. And so he calls me up and he's like,

00:08:20.380 man, I already met all these people. I've been doing this so long. I have all the money,

00:08:23.440 I have all the fame. What now? Like, where's the reward? Because I seem to try to do the right

00:08:28.480 thing and I put people on and they don't seem to appreciate it, but I'm not getting rewarded by

00:08:33.640 these people. And I responded that you don't do it for the people. You do it for the sake of Allah.

00:08:39.720 You do what's right for the sake of Allah.

00:08:41.880 I mean, you mentioned controversy.

00:08:44.220 I've been through many hardships.

00:08:45.740 This has been the most difficult year content-wise.

00:08:48.960 It's been a lot of ups and downs.

00:08:50.220 It's been pretty difficult.

00:08:51.940 There's a lot of things that I've had to overcome.

00:08:54.100 And I'm always reminded that you don't do it for monetary gain.

00:08:57.380 You don't do it for fame.

00:08:58.580 You don't do it for validation from other people

00:09:00.140 or to meet prime ministers or celebrities or whoever.

00:09:02.700 You just do it for the sake of Allah.

00:09:04.800 And when you always follow that,

00:09:06.140 you're never going to have to wonder why you do something

00:09:08.580 because that is the ultimate purpose to serve and remembering that every day is why i think i've

00:09:14.020 been able to overcome everything that the world throws at me that's healthy how about you brother

00:09:20.100 one do you want to speak sure sure sure obviously at what moment did islam forced you to confront

00:09:26.420 about yourself what was what was it in particular that made you confront about yourself well me being

00:09:33.220 an extremely big individual like it made me confront my my desires like you know

00:09:39.120 if I wanted to I could bully everyone but that's true

00:09:44.100 if I wanted to I can do a lot of things that people can't stop you know and but 1.00

00:09:50.020 Amtullah Islam teaches you a certain level of control and yeah that's 0.73

00:09:54.760 something that Islam really taught me to control my desires you know the things 1.00

00:09:58.100 that I want for myself I decided to put that away and look more forward to 0.95

00:10:03.040 helping others being there for others what can I do to benefit others you know

00:10:07.540 so I put my own self in desires to decide and I decided what can I do to

00:10:12.200 help humanity you know and I looked at it in a more global you know more of a

00:10:19.060 global vision or what can I do to help everyone around me how can I help you

00:10:24.280 know yeah I totally understand that I used to have this conversation with my

00:10:30.540 friend um he was a creative i guess like probably everyone that we can relate to and he spoke about

00:10:38.260 this imaginary conversation with god where for example you are sitting down and allah is right

00:10:43.640 in front of you and allah is going to ask you a very simple question which is all right i've given

00:10:49.180 you the gift of this this this this what did you do with it but did you go out partying did you go

00:10:56.140 just using your looks or your charisma just to get everything just for yourself and it just makes

00:11:02.120 you sit down and question like maybe my gifts isn't for myself but my gift is for other people

00:11:07.240 you know you know it's really interesting that you mentioned that because when you mentioned

00:11:11.120 that it reminds me of a certain uh i believe it's hadith that there's four questions that will be

00:11:18.840 asked on judgment day and your feet will not move until these four questions are asked and one of

00:11:23.820 them are, what did you do with your youth? What did you do with your wealth? What did

00:11:28.840 you do with your knowledge? I can't remember the last one, but these are the questions

00:11:32.580 that are going to be asked. You know, these are the most important questions. And then

00:11:35.740 I want you to ask that to yourself. What have you done with your youth? Have you used your

00:11:40.280 youth? Look at us, we're young, and we're out here spreading the truth. We could have

00:11:44.640 been in the club. We could have been doing anything, you know, just like everybody else

00:11:48.000 does. But we decide to be different. And being different is important. Nowadays, we live

00:11:53.700 in a society where everyone wants to be like everybody else but the reality is we need to

00:11:57.560 be different and what makes you different is following the truth because now we live in a

00:12:01.580 society that's full of lies very few people are actually following the truth and this is what

00:12:06.040 needs to happen it's true so can i ask you guys both personally right what was it in your journey

00:12:13.100 what was the last straw that made you feel like okay that's it i'm converting

00:12:18.600 the last straw well i mean it was something i was thinking about my whole life

00:12:25.400 people ask me this every day there was a palestinian man just now at the mall earlier said

00:12:30.040 what made you convert i think i first started considering it my dad gave me the autobiography

00:12:34.740 of malcolm x when i was around 10 11 years old and seeing his transformation it's something that

00:12:39.960 i've always admired i think about or respected about people may be interested in stories we're

00:12:47.000 seeing how people transformed into something better. And Malcolm X, he grew up as a pimp and

00:12:54.680 as a drug dealer in Detroit and Boston and New York City. They called him Detroit Red. He went

00:12:59.320 to jail. He got locked up, as people usually do when they follow that lifestyle. And he was

00:13:04.320 introduced to the Nation of Islam. And then you could see that he started to read more. You could

00:13:08.740 see the way he spoke afterwards. It's super inspiring, the way that he was able to connect

00:13:11.860 with people. He practiced every day by trying to memorize a different word in the dictionary.

00:13:17.000 and reading that, I understand, I understood that this was, Islam was what transformed him

00:13:22.860 into the man he became and what he was known for, and I kind of ignored it for a long time,

00:13:27.180 and I think it was always in the back of my mind, but I think the final straw was just

00:13:32.420 seeing that there's nothing else to worship. It's something similar. For example, just now,

00:13:38.420 we were praying Asr prayer, and the mosque here, it's called KLCC. It's a very beautiful one with

00:13:43.800 two floors is that the correct word very beautiful we're on the way there we're walking around the

00:13:47.760 mosque people are coming up because i'm live on stream right now a guy from bosnia comes in he's

00:13:51.980 visiting he's on vacation i say hey let's go pray we walk in we get a big crew and then another guy

00:13:55.840 malaysian guy is a philosopher or he's teaching a philosophy class hey come on come join us we're

00:14:00.480 coming people are coming up with these froze they're from england they're on vacation they

00:14:04.500 come through some guys making these jokes and making me say stuff in malaysian that i don't

00:14:07.800 want to repeat right now my mistake and i said come on let's go to the mosque and so by the time

00:14:12.160 we get there, I keep adding more people. We keep, we're a big crew. Marshall is about 15 of us or

00:14:17.060 maybe 20 and we all go pray. And what was the final important moment of that big group? There

00:14:23.200 was somebody who had just took his Shahada five minutes before and he comes in and he's really

00:14:28.800 emotional. I know if he's here right now, but you could see in his face that he's just kind of coming

00:14:32.980 to this realization and reminded me of me the day that I was, I saw the final domino and the

00:14:39.300 Warner's asking him questions like what do you believe him before he's talking about some Chinese

00:14:42.340 belief he said there's eight million gods and you can see the way he's repeating it it's how 0.97

00:14:46.540 sorry for lack of a better term how retarded that is that this doesn't make any sense 0.91

00:14:51.040 eight million gods what are we talking about and he's he's he's seeing here that it makes no other 0.82

00:14:56.720 sense there is only one tohi the idea that there's only one worthy of worship we all have fitra we're

00:15:02.740 born knowing that there's one worthy of worship and I grew up catholic and they worship

00:15:08.480 saints marry different idols and when i learned about what islam was that you only pray to allah

00:15:14.860 and allah alone i'm like well i always was muslim when i prayed when i was a kid i prayed to god i

00:15:19.840 didn't pray to saint anthony i didn't pray to mary i didn't pray to anything else but allah

00:15:22.880 now hearing that that was the truth i couldn't ignore it anymore so it was like a whole journey

00:15:29.680 and a lot of things factoring together that led you to this decision exactly exactly that's one

00:15:38.460 hell of a journey it's one heck one heaven of a journey one heaven of a

00:15:43.260 journey one heaven of a journey that's true that's true what about for you so

00:15:48.280 a lot of people don't know this but I spent a majority of my life or my adult

00:15:52.340 life in the nightclub you know so it's crazy to say but through witnessing

00:15:57.720 things that happen in my club like I used to be the head of security for the

00:16:01.480 most popular clubs in Los Angeles and then through that I became a bodyguard

00:16:05.640 and I managed both you know I had I was the engineer during the day and at night I would

00:16:10.320 do my bodyguarding I would do my head of security for the most prominent nightclubs in Beverly Hills

00:16:15.160 and Hollywood and humbly during that time I definitely was fun you know meeting all the

00:16:20.080 celebrities meeting all the basketball players meeting all the football players it's a fantastic

00:16:23.740 time you know seeing all the gorgeous women you're seeing meeting all these multi-millionaires

00:16:28.960 billionaires princes princesses you're meeting everybody you know because when you're in the

00:16:33.580 like the, you know, the top level clubs in Beverly Hills,

00:16:37.580 you know, you have LeBron James walking in,

00:16:39.480 you have Leonardo DiCaprio walking in.

00:16:41.400 These are very normal incidents, right?

00:16:43.320 So me being in that lifestyle, I noticed something,

00:16:46.620 especially when I started getting into the more bodyguard scene,

00:16:49.040 where I would be more closer to the clients.

00:16:51.320 I noticed that, alhamdulillah, they had all the money,

00:16:53.540 they had all the girls, they had all the cars,

00:16:55.320 but yet something was missing in them.

00:16:57.440 And then also I would witness certain levels of darkness.

00:16:59.960 I would notice that these people, they practice certain levels of black magic, certain levels of Sihm, stuff like that.

00:17:09.140 So when I witnessed that, yo, there's individuals that are extremely powerful, extremely wealthy,

00:17:14.340 and that they are dedicated to worshipping other than the Creator, and that they offer, you know, the things that they do.

00:17:22.460 So I realized that, wow, the existence of the devil is very real.

00:17:26.260 and it made me really question myself

00:17:28.340 like hey, if the devil is real

00:17:30.260 then that means God has to be real

00:17:31.940 and if the devil is real and God is real

00:17:34.280 then that means the afterlife is real

00:17:35.940 and I really sat there and I was

00:17:38.340 in conflict because at that time

00:17:40.220 I didn't necessarily have guidance

00:17:41.940 I can't say at that time confidently

00:17:44.340 that what I believed was true

00:17:46.480 or that I was on the truth

00:17:47.660 so then I went on a journey to go

00:17:49.480 find what the truth was

00:17:51.440 Alhamdulillah I was born into a Muslim family

00:17:53.260 but being in America during the 9-11 era 1.00

00:17:55.380 You don't want to be publicly Muslim

00:17:58.100 Or you're not proudly Muslim 1.00

00:17:59.620 You hide your Islam, you know

00:18:01.340 I would say that I'm Persian 0.88

00:18:03.040 Or I would say, you know, something

00:18:04.980 Anything to lighten the fact that 0.99

00:18:07.280 I'm from any country with an istan at the end

00:18:09.640 Because my parents were from Pakistan

00:18:10.700 So at that time, if you say anything with an istan at the end

00:18:13.420 You know, you're like the enemy, you know what I'm doing 0.98

00:18:15.420 So, it made me really, you know

00:18:18.740 Dive deep into understand, like, what is the truth

00:18:21.960 and the aspect of Islam that really stood out to me

00:18:25.700 was the worship of one God and one God alone

00:18:28.800 without partners and without equals.

00:18:30.780 And I thought that's what everyone believed.

00:18:32.560 But once I realized that everyone,

00:18:34.520 yeah, they believe in the creator,

00:18:36.220 but they associate partners along with the creator

00:18:38.700 and that's the worst thing that you could do. 0.99

00:18:40.680 And what makes Islam different 1.00

00:18:41.940 is the only religion that worships God alone 0.99

00:18:44.520 without partners and equals to God. 0.80

00:18:46.380 I was like, this is a clear truth.

00:18:49.040 How can you deny it?

00:18:50.300 It's such a clear truth.

00:18:51.200 Alhamdulillah, I confronted that truth 0.84

00:18:54.120 And that's the moment I decided to accept it

00:18:56.240 Full-heartedly, and then leave my old lifestyle

00:18:58.280 Behind, Alhamdulillah, Allah has blessed me with a new life

00:19:00.580 Alhamdulillah

00:19:01.660 It's really interesting

00:19:04.260 The fact that the both of you mentioned about

00:19:06.080 Praising or praying

00:19:08.320 To one God

00:19:09.760 Because I feel like here in Malaysia 0.93

00:19:12.120 That's like a very

00:19:13.220 I guess it's a normal statement

00:19:16.420 That most of us Muslims here have

00:19:18.020 Because we're not growing in the same country, right?

00:19:20.260 like to you being a muslim you are part of the minority a minority that's has a lot of hate

00:19:28.640 speech around it a lot of islamophobia around it so i guess what i'm trying to say here is that

00:19:34.560 it's really interesting that that was the factor that changed you or moved you closer towards

00:19:41.460 islam for me and probably majority of my friends it was i guess a deep level of sadness

00:19:49.820 because you know a lot of us can claim that we're muslims a lot of us can when we check our

00:19:54.900 identification card it says they're islam but i feel like there's a difference when you are just

00:20:00.400 called in islam or when you're being an islamic person right so yeah i think it's just very

00:20:07.760 interesting it's almost like a sword that's dull and then the sword that's sharpened you know so

00:20:14.100 So a dull sword, you're not going to do any damage with a dull sword.

00:20:18.620 But it's like knowledge is like a sharpened blade that you could actually do damage with.

00:20:22.880 That's true.

00:20:23.980 That's true.

00:20:25.080 Okay.

00:20:26.040 So again, we can go.

00:20:29.740 Anyone got that?

00:20:31.700 Okay.

00:20:32.220 So I would say being a public figure means your journey is witnessed in real time.

00:20:39.300 Right?

00:20:39.460 Like even right now, we're on live stream.

00:20:41.960 through the Faith Fuel podcast and also through Sneeko's live stream.

00:20:45.480 So growth and mistakes and change are often judged publicly

00:20:51.080 before they are fully understood.

00:20:53.880 Once you make a mistake right there, that's it.

00:20:57.140 You might be remembered for your mistake for a very long time.

00:21:00.460 So I guess to dive into the question a little bit deeper,

00:21:03.980 I guess this one's more for you, Sneeko, right?

00:21:06.900 In the past, you were very vocal about your views on masculinity 0.98

00:21:10.600 and what it means to be a man but since embracing islam how has that understanding evolved for you

00:21:17.780 i think people have a misunderstanding for example i was asked this question i went to bosnia

00:21:23.380 i went there for eid and i spoke on the the news there and they were asking about

00:21:28.000 you know are you misogynistic and this stuff and look there was a major push especially in america

00:21:34.520 I don't know if Malaysia can relate as much, but feminism was on the rise quite a bit.

00:21:40.340 And now we're seeing from the CEO of BlackRock, BlackRock is one of the biggest financial

00:21:44.760 firms in the world, they get trillions of dollars that pass through yearly and they

00:21:49.720 control so many different organizations.

00:21:51.840 Now their focus is on climate and more about propaganda with the round war.

00:21:57.080 But Larry Fink admitted just on the news that it was basically an experiment to push this

00:22:01.400 idea of wokeism. 0.65

00:22:02.760 Wokeism being, you know, the blue hair, LGBT, 0.75

00:22:05.680 all the isms that so many Americans wrap themselves 0.99

00:22:08.920 and create their identity around.

00:22:10.940 That becomes the religion for so many people in America.

00:22:14.020 I think a lot of us don't seem to realize

00:22:15.700 that if you are not religious, if you're not Muslim,

00:22:18.480 something else will replace it. 0.84

00:22:20.320 Atheists like to pride themselves like, 1.00

00:22:21.840 oh, you need religion? 0.91

00:22:23.080 Well, I don't need religion at all.

00:22:24.900 Everybody's gonna worship something,

00:22:26.280 whether it's a celebrity, whether it's themselves,

00:22:28.720 whether it's their leftist ideology, money, fame,

00:22:32.280 But for so many people, it becomes their, oh, I'm a LGBT supporter, or I'm a feminist, I'm this.

00:22:40.880 And now that we understand that this was pushed by major financial firms, pushed by BlackRock,

00:22:47.320 I think people should be able to take a step out and realize, okay, this ideology that I

00:22:52.800 based my entire identity around was not actually unique to my belief system.

00:22:57.880 This was me falling for propaganda.

00:23:00.240 And I think it was necessary for people to correct that because it got really crazy, especially after COVID.

00:23:06.560 People left and started protesting for George Floyd.

00:23:10.420 Americans lit the country on fire for George Floyd protests amidst the quarantine.

00:23:14.680 You remember that? 0.86

00:23:15.600 We had two weeks to stop the spread.

00:23:17.340 People were wiping down the groceries with Clorox wipes.

00:23:19.700 Then George Floyd happens.

00:23:20.920 Everybody rushes outside, lights police stations on fire, lights Target on fire, lights cars on fire.

00:23:26.740 Then we see the Epstein files partially released. 0.60

00:23:29.040 Have you seen one protest in America? No. How come Americans are able to be manipulated so easily

00:23:36.380 by one instance of George Floyd, right? They said that he overdosed on fentanyl or whatever.

00:23:42.520 You know, maybe they were too violent with the arrest. Regardless, it's a horrible situation.

00:23:46.380 Epstein might be the most disgusting thing we've ever seen ever. And nobody's protesting. Now we

00:23:52.520 see that the masses, the population that thinks that we're democratic, we have free speech and

00:23:58.260 we're individualists. Now we see that we are nothing but a product of whatever propaganda

00:24:03.420 they want us to fall for. So to answer your question, what do you think about this stuff?

00:24:08.800 This is how they censor what I'm talking about. They will try to call me. I get called everything

00:24:14.060 in America. Misogynist, communist, Nazi, fascist, alt-right, alt-left. You're a third world invader. 0.98

00:24:19.980 You're a white supremacist. You're a racist. I get called every single side of the political 1.00

00:24:24.340 spectrum every day the new york post just calls me a far-right nazi and then actual nazis call

00:24:30.020 me a communist and say that i'm a haitian invader because my father's from haiti the point is i

00:24:34.960 spend this whole year to say that i don't follow left and right ideology i it's i believe in right

00:24:41.060 and wrong left and right and all this stuff this is to give you the false sense that you're part

00:24:45.660 of something bigger when it's really fed to us to make us think that we're making a difference

00:24:50.220 when we're really just echoing

00:24:51.600 what they want us to echo.

00:24:52.920 I follow God and God alone.

00:24:54.560 I don't follow the Democrat party.

00:24:55.740 I don't follow the left party.

00:24:57.160 Any of this,

00:24:57.920 this is all meant to control you,

00:24:59.840 to feed you more propaganda.

00:25:02.380 The only being,

00:25:03.380 the only one we should follow

00:25:04.380 is a law and a law alone.

00:25:05.740 That is the only being

00:25:06.680 that will be consistent,

00:25:07.660 that will never lie,

00:25:09.020 that will never find you 0.99

00:25:10.500 being a hypocrite. 0.97

00:25:12.060 I like that. 0.99

00:25:13.260 That was a very beautiful,

00:25:14.500 well thought of answer.

00:25:15.740 I like that.

00:25:16.400 Thank you for that.

00:25:18.200 So, okay.

00:25:19.440 I guess I'll ask you right brother Warner why is it important to be you know

00:25:24.000 brave enough to ask these typical questions you know even when the

00:25:27.300 answers may challenge us because based on what you've been true before did you

00:25:34.020 find yourself having a hard time asking yourself these questions because you

00:25:37.860 might not like the answers I think the bravery and the courage when it comes to

00:25:44.040 seeking the truth it's mainly about are you ready to make a change in your life

00:25:49.800 you know the certain lifestyle that you're living at that time are you

00:25:53.420 really ready if you find out that lifestyle is not the correct lifestyle

00:25:57.240 and that your creator wants something different from you and you have to ask

00:26:00.840 yourself a question is this a lifestyle that is actually you know am I supposed

00:26:05.100 to be spending my life doing these certain things so I would say you know

00:26:09.240 that's like a it is a big challenge you know it is definitely a big challenge

00:26:13.800 it's a battle of the ego you know it's either you fight you know your desires

00:26:18.660 or you follow the truth that's true that makes sense I mean I guess it makes you

00:26:28.020 wonder which one is harder to conquer right the world or your own ego okay so

00:26:34.920 I want to jump back into you guys being from United States and everything stuff

00:26:40.020 like that because it's a very different context from here in Malaysia as I

00:26:43.500 mentioned before you guys are well Muslims are considered the minority

00:26:47.880 there compared to here like I can turn left right and I would find a fellow

00:26:52.740 Muslim like probably within one kilometer around me so in America being

00:26:58.020 Muslim can often you know be about identity belonging and visibility but in

00:27:02.840 But in Malaysia, Islam is part of a social fabric.

00:27:06.860 We all are, majority of us are Muslims,

00:27:10.000 which can sometimes make the challenge less about belonging

00:27:13.600 and more about sincerity and consistency.

00:27:17.640 So what do you think Muslims living in a country like Malaysia

00:27:22.120 might not fully realize about the blessings

00:27:25.040 of being able to practice Islam freely and openly?

00:27:28.660 it's so much more peaceful

00:27:32.400 and you start to appreciate

00:27:34.380 not having to drop your...

00:27:38.220 Well, in America, for example,

00:27:39.520 because Muslims are the minority,

00:27:40.840 not only just being the minority,

00:27:42.100 but something that you really come to appreciate in Malaysia

00:27:44.060 is how you can be Muslim all the time.

00:27:47.340 Does that make sense? 1.00

00:27:48.280 I'm sure you've experienced it.

00:27:49.220 When you go to the Western world, 1.00

00:27:50.740 you almost have to apologetically be Muslim. 0.99

00:27:54.660 Although you're not aware of it, 1.00

00:27:56.220 it's the small adjustments

00:27:57.300 in your dialogue, in the way you interact with people.

00:28:00.640 Like even say something like, oh, let's go pray Asr. 0.97

00:28:02.740 You might make someone uncomfortable

00:28:03.920 because people have so many false ideas about Islam

00:28:07.060 that you always have to adjust to fit their rhetoric.

00:28:11.400 Just now, I just noticed this at the mall,

00:28:13.320 we're speaking to somebody from England

00:28:14.660 and we're talking, we're saying Salaam Alaikum.

00:28:17.300 And this is something that's regular.

00:28:19.000 Every time you enter a restaurant here,

00:28:20.620 you can assume that somebody will be receptive to that. 0.65

00:28:23.740 In America, saying something like Salaam Alaikum

00:28:25.420 could trigger somebody.

00:28:26.740 People get upset because this is the place, especially I'm from New York City,

00:28:30.120 this is where all the propaganda starts and stops.

00:28:32.620 You are in the belly of the beast. 0.92

00:28:34.580 Everything that they try to blame Muslims for is almost exactly what Israel is responsible of. 0.92

00:28:40.300 This is what they're doing right now. 0.99

00:28:41.320 They say the Muslims are terrorists. 1.00

00:28:42.880 Muslims are evil. 1.00

00:28:44.460 Muslims believe this. 1.00

00:28:45.440 Muslims are harmful. 1.00

00:28:46.200 They're trying to spread Sharia law. 1.00

00:28:47.860 For example, Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, he just passed a bill and he's celebrating. 0.98

00:28:53.320 He's on stage and he's holding up this bill.

00:28:55.020 that says, no Sharia law in Florida.

00:28:57.400 And they're all applauding and they're all there. 0.75

00:28:59.300 There's not one person in Florida

00:29:00.880 trying to push Sharia law.

00:29:02.980 There's not one. 1.00

00:29:04.460 Florida is like the OnlyFans capital of the world.

00:29:07.040 But they're doing this show, hey,

00:29:09.480 they're all smiling to be like,

00:29:10.640 and the people in the comments, 0.92

00:29:11.920 good job, get Sharia out of Florida. 0.91

00:29:14.080 It's all one performance 1.00

00:29:15.240 because they are trying to get us 0.55

00:29:17.040 to support this war in Iran right now.

00:29:19.480 This war is extremely unpopular. 0.99

00:29:21.680 And so the agenda is to make Iran 0.52

00:29:24.300 seem religiously backwards. This is how they got us to get into war in Iraq. You've seen 0.94

00:29:28.360 it repeated in Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, time and time and time again. But it's not

00:29:33.620 going to work this time. Not while I'm alive. Not while Warner's around here. We're here

00:29:37.480 in America trying to fight back against that propaganda because although the United States

00:29:41.400 is only 300 million people, 400 million people, this is where the rhetoric starts. This is

00:29:46.440 where it all, it's the heart of it all. And I don't want to see us make the same mistakes.

00:29:50.780 as far as your question

00:29:54.940 I think me and Kitsniko were speaking about this earlier

00:29:57.500 how much easier it is to practice Islam

00:29:59.380 in Muslim countries and the adversity

00:30:01.460 that it takes to be a practicing

00:30:03.600 Muslim in a non-Muslim country 0.97

00:30:05.740 so you know to be honest

00:30:07.760 you guys are extremely blessed

00:30:09.260 to be around fellow Muslims

00:30:11.080 you know to not be seen as

00:30:13.620 like

00:30:14.360 they see us as human devils

00:30:17.620 you know if you see

00:30:19.340 the way some of these people, like if you see

00:30:21.640 the way I can see people

00:30:23.660 reacting to me, giving dawah

00:30:25.440 they look at me like I'm a caged animal

00:30:27.620 in a zoo, that's how they look

00:30:29.740 at me, like oh my god, but the thing is

00:30:31.780 I'm so big they can't do anything about it

00:30:33.480 you know what I'm saying, so alhamdulillah

00:30:35.580 it's a blessing, it's a blessing from Allah

00:30:37.480 but you know, honestly

00:30:39.400 if you guys can see the other side of the camera

00:30:41.380 and see the way they look at me

00:30:43.340 and all I'm doing, I'm trying to bring them back

00:30:45.600 to the truth, I'm trying to help them

00:30:47.580 get to paradise

00:30:49.620 while the opposite

00:30:51.940 is trying to lead them and not just lead them

00:30:54.020 but drag them to the hellfire 1.00

00:30:55.560 so the reality is as Muslims in Muslim 1.00

00:30:58.060 countries you have to understand

00:30:59.980 the blessing that you've

00:31:00.980 bestowed with you know that your children

00:31:04.040 are being blessed to be around Muslims 1.00

00:31:06.040 your children aren't around 1.00

00:31:07.520 you know devil worshippers

00:31:09.700 they're not around people who

00:31:11.640 want to sacrifice children

00:31:13.480 you're not around the most evil

00:31:15.940 individuals that are trying to go after the mind and after soul of your children you guys are

00:31:20.420 extremely extremely blessed and to be honest if you guys want to put that to the test go to a 1.00

00:31:25.360 non-muslim land you like for instance today we saw a japanese man uh in the muslim right like you 0.61

00:31:30.860 said he worshiped eight million gods before coming to islam and you know and that lifestyle 0.81

00:31:37.240 outside of islam you will never find peace you will never find happiness the only solution that 1.00

00:31:42.960 the world needs Islam. And that is an absolute fact. We can all bet our life on it, that this 1.00

00:31:49.140 is the absolute truth. It's up to you to accept it or not. You know, earlier today, you know, I

00:31:54.620 remembered a quote that the truth is not what you want it to be. It is what it is. Either you choose

00:32:00.200 to accept it or you choose to live a lie. It's up to you. Do you want to accept the truth or do you

00:32:05.040 want to live a lie? And there's consequences. If you choose the truth, you will be rewarded by your

00:32:09.700 creator and if you choose alive you will be punished in this world and the hereafter because

00:32:14.880 the reality is the only true happiness that a human being could find or a true contentment

00:32:19.400 that you could find in this world is through the remembrance of your creator remember happiness is

00:32:23.620 not just in this world this happiness this is a disney fairy tale that's sold to us by hollywood

00:32:28.820 that oh we're all meant to be happy no this world is a testing ground you're being tested

00:32:33.340 you're being put through the fire you know and you have to see can i come out on the other side

00:32:39.280 strong. Where might God allow the fire

00:32:41.900 to consume you? You have to remember, Allah 1.00

00:32:43.760 will never put anything, any test in front

00:32:45.940 of you that you cannot overcome. And do

00:32:47.960 we trust Allah? Do we believe in Allah?

00:32:50.040 Like when Allah says in the Quran that the believer 0.99

00:32:52.120 will have nothing to fear and nor will

00:32:54.020 he ever grieve. When we read those words

00:32:56.020 do we actually believe it? Or are it just

00:32:57.880 words that we're reading? You have to really

00:33:00.040 like talk to yourself. Like

00:33:01.860 do you really believe?

00:33:03.940 You know? No, I get it. There was a

00:33:06.040 quote I had from a friend before.

00:33:07.920 I think I was struggling with money during that time

00:33:11.100 And I was constantly worrying about money

00:33:13.860 Worrying about money, worrying about money

00:33:15.300 And then he couldn't stand me complaining about it anymore

00:33:18.600 So he told me straight up

00:33:20.680 The parts in my life that I worry about the most

00:33:24.380 Is the parts in my life that I have least trust in Allah

00:33:28.920 And that just shook my entire understanding

00:33:33.460 Of what it truly means to believe

00:33:36.420 because yes believe in a sentence it sounds nice it sounds easy but truly to wake up not knowing

00:33:43.860 what's going to happen but still believe that Allah plans the best for you it's something

00:33:49.580 it's not something that most people are born with like you have to train that thought pattern inside

00:33:56.540 of your head have you ever have you guys ever been through that kind of process retraining the

00:34:02.220 dean back yeah yeah every day i think it's an everyday process for every muslim i think that's

00:34:07.960 why we have the reminder to pray five times a day and whenever you're i don't know this is my

00:34:13.680 experience i'm not going to speak for everybody but ramadan for example just pass and hopefully

00:34:20.240 maybe everyone can relate ramadan is a time where you're extra focused on dean that's where you're

00:34:24.460 not going to miss the five prayers that's where you're paying attention to the clock more that's

00:34:28.700 when everything is amplified everybody can feel it and then you get that did anyone get like the

00:34:33.460 post ramadan depression a little bit anyone yeah you know what i'm talking about yeah where

00:34:37.960 afterwards yeah you raise your hand it's it's like okay it's over it just feels less and then i i

00:34:42.740 went to jumaat uh i think that weekend after and the imam was was giving a hutba about how now that

00:34:49.500 you've prayed during ramadan you fasted you went the extra mile i even went to mecca mashallah

00:34:55.340 now's the time to protect all the rewards that you gain during ramadan so if you practice all

00:35:02.160 this time don't throw it all away now don't get the post ramadan oppression oh it's over now now

00:35:06.640 what now is the time to pray even more to protect all the iman that you raised during ramadan and

00:35:13.800 that was a very good reminder and i remember that every single day so i want to speak to the point

00:35:22.760 that you mentioned regarding, you know, lack of funds and stuff like that, right?

00:35:29.160 You have to remember, Allah says in the Quran, that you will be tested with wealth, with

00:35:34.280 poverty, with children, with loss of life, right?

00:35:37.300 And remember, the devil, he will scare you into poverty.

00:35:41.500 That's one of his biggest weapons against human being, is to scare you into poverty.

00:35:47.000 In America, we have a saying that I'll never be broke again, never be broke again.

00:35:51.660 you know like that's like everyone's worst nightmare is to be broke you know to not have

00:35:55.780 money oh my god you know that's but literally that's how the devil controls is through you

00:36:02.300 know through finance like oh oh you know oh you want to go broke oh well you're gonna have to

00:36:06.580 do this you have to you know do this you have to sell your soul in order to get that money

00:36:10.980 you understand what i'm saying yeah so you have to just almost keep that in mind that life is a

00:36:15.180 test and guess who provides for us is the creator that's true yeah that's true thank you for those

00:36:21.640 it was very yeah another example too like for instance if you look outside right you you see

00:36:26.760 the birds you see the fishes who do you think you're feeding these creatures are we out there

00:36:31.700 feeding them no who's feeding them allah is feeding all these creatures millions and millions

00:36:36.980 of fishes in the ocean millions and millions of birds right flying in the skies who's feeding

00:36:42.020 these creatures it's not us it's allah you think allah can't feed us look at how allah feeds them

00:36:48.320 that's the right part to be very passionate about no I think like for me because you know we're

00:36:58.980 we're just knowing each other there was a moment in my life where I wanted to make a content full

00:37:03.680 time so there was a very rough patch where I had to let go of my job so that was the part where my

00:37:08.740 friend came in everything and stuff like that I did not have much in my bank account like probably

00:37:14.120 to you guys i probably had two dollars in my bank account but even though with two dollars

00:37:18.120 it was during ramadan it was a very holy spiritual month i just always like wanted to believe that

00:37:24.220 god will still be here helping and providing me out and i don't know how i wasn't doing much i

00:37:30.040 was just sitting at home but that's when suddenly friends come over and say hey have you eaten do

00:37:36.580 you have any plans come let me take you out uh suddenly there's a friend hey i just got kicked

00:37:41.500 out can I just stay at your place stay at my place and he's paying for all the

00:37:46.240 food because he feels like in debt so in some sense well not in some sense in

00:37:52.060 every sense I agree with what you said we can be lost at words we can feel like

00:37:58.240 nothing is happening around us we could feel completely lost but if we still

00:38:04.420 want to believe that Allah is there to help us out that small little belief

00:38:09.680 can just be the door to him opening his rizeki. So yeah, I get that. So while we're 0.98

00:38:20.820 on this topic, right, I feel like it's not too far-fetched. We talk about

00:38:25.340 purpose, calling, and etc. So in today's world, it's easy for influence and content

00:38:34.520 to become about numbers attention virality but behind every platform is a

00:38:42.140 dip is a deeper intention so at the heart of everything you do beyond the

00:38:49.640 platform the audience the visibility what is it that truly pulls you in this

00:38:56.420 direction i can sum it up very very succinctly get jannah or die trying that's it i'm just trying

00:39:06.680 to get to the highest level of jannah or i'm going to die trying doing it that's it that's

00:39:11.480 simple i like that how about you i think it's fighting the really obvious propaganda the more 0.67

00:39:17.500 i learn about islam the more i understand how much deceit and how many lies are spread to keep 0.80

00:39:24.940 people within the slave class and how to keep people trapped i think the the most perfect example 0.94

00:39:31.060 was during ramadan i think one of the first days we warner and i and there was this group organized

00:39:37.680 by what's his name again it was we did the ramadan prayer in times square and it was about 200

00:39:44.120 muslims did anybody see this it was on social media this stuff yeah sq was organized by him

00:39:49.400 great brother mashallah you know i didn't think too much of it we took some pictures it was cool

00:39:55.080 to see muslims gathering ramadan is a special time it's the holy month for us and then it goes

00:40:02.220 all over social media everybody loses their minds quite literally it was it was a major sensation on 0.97

00:40:08.480 twitter people were just oh this is they're destroying america they're invading america

00:40:13.100 muslims make around two percent of the american population they keep saying that oh they're mass

00:40:17.720 immigration. Most of the immigration in America is coming from Indians with the H1B visa and

00:40:23.000 they're 90% Hindu, or they come from the Southern Mexican border. They're Catholics. The interesting

00:40:27.780 part is when they come in from the Southern Mexican border, when the cartels smuggle and

00:40:31.920 drugs, they never call them Catholic invaders. But if they come from Northern Africa, if they

00:40:37.420 come from the Arab world, if they come from Malaysia, they'll say Muslim invaders. They 0.99

00:40:41.720 immediately label them by our religion. Epstein Island happens. Do they say the Jewish Epstein

00:40:49.120 Island? No. What is it, 90% of the people on the list are Jewish? But they don't say

00:40:52.520 that. The only religion that they blame always for their religion is always the Muslims. 0.96

00:40:59.600 And the comparison I could make and how obvious the propaganda is, Donald Trump, my American

00:41:04.540 president easter sunday was just so sorry about that two weeks ago donald trump first he says

00:41:13.540 on catholic easter sunday he says praise be to allah swear to god he says he posts on true social

00:41:19.380 praise be to allah open up the effing straight threatening iran to open up the straight which

00:41:25.640 was closed because he bombed iran a week later there's orthodox easter he posts a picture of

00:41:30.880 himself dressed as Jesus, peace be upon him. Did you see this? With his hands healing somebody

00:41:38.020 that looks like Jeffrey Epstein, Wallahi. It looks like Jeffrey Epstein. That's his good friend from

00:41:42.960 the eighties and nineties. Dressed exactly like him. You know what he says in the news the next

00:41:47.420 day? I was dressed as a red cross doctor. I don't know about you. I've never seen a red cross doctor

00:41:53.260 dressed like Jesus before. I've never seen this. And it's really clear because amidst all this

00:41:59.400 happening he's insulting the pope saying the pope is weak on crime the pope a religious leader is

00:42:04.780 weak on crime he's saying the pope is not america first how why would the pope be america first

00:42:10.140 has nothing to do with america he lives in the vatican and so they're trying to say iran is

00:42:15.500 religiously backwards they're religiously backwards this is the narrative they're low 0.64

00:42:19.500 iq people they're religiously they're fanatics they're evil people while all this is happening

00:42:23.960 Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of War 0.70

00:42:26.000 He just does a speech

00:42:27.280 Justifying more Epic Fury

00:42:29.120 He reads a Bible quote

00:42:30.880 And I swear to you, you could look this up

00:42:32.960 It wasn't even from the Bible

00:42:34.820 He's quoting Pulp Fiction

00:42:36.920 Where Samuel Jackson is doing this big speech

00:42:39.680 I strike down upon thee with furious anger

00:42:43.140 And lay my hand upon 0.91

00:42:45.320 This is from a movie, a Hollywood movie

00:42:47.840 From 1994

00:42:49.120 It's not even in the Bible

00:42:50.940 Not even the Schofield Bible

00:42:53.160 Which is manipulated beforehand

00:42:54.400 But here's the obvious thing

00:42:56.220 Which I see every single day

00:42:58.120 Is that you are trying to call Muslims 0.83

00:43:00.160 Relitously backwards

00:43:01.040 Trump is posting videos of Somalis in Minnesota

00:43:04.100 At the mall shopping 0.99

00:43:05.360 And saying that they're crazy people

00:43:07.420 While you are trying to depict yourself 0.89

00:43:09.400 As who you claim to be God

00:43:10.880 When the propaganda is that obvious

00:43:14.440 This is what drives me to say something about it

00:43:16.700 I cannot look at these obvious lies

00:43:18.960 Without saying some sort of truth

00:43:20.800 thank you for that moment

00:43:23.620 that was very powerful

00:43:25.520 I would say 0.99

00:43:26.460 damn, I'm still thinking about it 0.99

00:43:29.560 okay, while I'm thinking about it 0.99

00:43:31.860 we are actually going to open the floor

00:43:33.560 for a few questions

00:43:35.000 probably some of you guys have questions that you guys would like to ask

00:43:38.060 so we'd like to share the floor to you

00:43:39.560 so, yeah

00:43:41.160 anyone want to say yes

00:43:43.320 okay, do you want to come from

00:43:47.320 because we're going to

00:43:48.420 yeah because we have to pick up the audio yes please or do you want me to

00:43:54.300 repeat your question for you please

00:44:18.420 So because I was hearing one of your videos, I think it was from, I asked a Muslim or something, and you were saying that Islam is the only religion that I believe that slams. That's a slang.

00:44:34.820 So if the Quran was translated in English, but in a slang, so that a lot more people understand it, what's your opinion?

00:44:46.820 That should it be translated?

00:44:48.820 Yeah, translated in a slang.

00:44:50.820 In a slang?

00:44:51.820 Yeah.

00:44:52.820 What's an example of the...

00:44:53.820 So like if it's in English, it's in proper English, right?

00:45:00.820 But if it was in a slang, so for example, you know, it's Islam islamin', it's this, you know, like when you talk...

00:45:10.820 So you're saying in the translation, instead of saying verily, like make it more colloquial...

00:45:15.820 Thank you, ma'akala. Would it work? I mean, if you were to distribute the Qur'an.

00:45:20.700 Well, just keep in mind, first of all, we're not Islamic scholars. We're Muslims that are very passionate about Islam.

00:45:25.880 And we love to share Islam with non-Muslims. But as far as, if I'm not mistaken, there's a verse of the Quran that says 0.99

00:45:31.780 Allah will send people that look like you, that speak to you, to talk to you.

00:45:35.840 So, we speak to people in their own language. You know, we have our own way of speaking people in America. 0.96

00:45:40.600 And alhamdulillah, we do a good job in, you know, displaying the message to the non-Muslims. 1.00

00:45:45.820 you have to speak in their language 1.00

00:45:47.680 I mean obviously I'm not a scholar

00:45:49.720 but I would say I think it's

00:45:51.860 good that it's translated as literal as possible

00:45:54.140 because it gives us more incentive to learn it

00:45:55.940 in the proper language that it's

00:45:57.840 translated in to prevent manipulation

00:45:59.700 from happening so although it might

00:46:01.900 not be colloquial I think that that's

00:46:03.820 when adaptation starts to happen

00:46:05.240 I think it's better if we learn it in it's true

00:46:07.740 source language

00:46:08.500 that's good

00:46:11.240 anyone else?

00:46:15.060 yeah

00:46:15.540 My name is Ahmad. I'm 18 years old. I took an hour to get here.

00:46:24.540 Thanks, man.

00:46:27.540 But I recently finished my senior year of high school, which is called home five years.

00:46:32.540 Mashallah. 0.89

00:46:33.540 So my sort of question is, I came back from the UK. So I used to live in the UK for around four years.

00:46:41.540 years. I came back to Malaysia around a year and a half ago in 2024. So it feels like when I came

00:46:50.980 back here, there were a lot of challenges I had to face when I came to, you know, talking about

00:47:02.420 what I was interested in with, you know, with my friends or with family here. So I think my sort

00:47:09.740 question is um how do you sort of deal with an environment where you know you're you know it's

00:47:14.860 actually in tune with the people there i wouldn't say in tune but like are they partying all the

00:47:20.460 time no no it's not not that i think like uh i go to public school right so um i think being in the

00:47:27.100 uk where there's a lot of different things when it comes to like i don't know like like culture there

00:47:34.140 i think um like the music you listen to or like the sports you play so it's very different here

00:47:38.780 so i think having moved back here um it was a challenge when you know because uh i went to my

00:47:46.140 primary school here yeah so uh when i came back i wrote in my old um sort of the the high school

00:47:52.700 from from that public school so seeing all my friends sort of

00:48:00.860 it's just different you know so could you be more specific so what are your friends doing

00:48:04.540 So, I was in the UK for four years, now I came back here in August, 2024, and when

00:48:14.260 I enrolled back into high school here...

00:48:21.780 Do you feel isolated?

00:48:22.780 Yeah, I wouldn't say isolated, but it was definitely different because I had both friends

00:48:27.380 in public school and international school, but when I talked to my friends within international

00:48:32.940 with his I don't really I don't relate to them as much but neither do I with you

00:48:40.320 know the the please I from from public so so it's the situation where hmm you

00:48:46.540 know you just sat there where like you can't really talk to any anybody about

00:48:51.660 anything yeah I feel like during that time especially last year I was going

00:48:55.800 through a lot of like personal problems when it came to families yeah yeah yeah

00:48:59.580 earlier today I just found out

00:49:01.200 my aunt actually passed away

00:49:02.840 I would say

00:49:06.200 try to find some

00:49:08.800 resources online so if you can't find it

00:49:11.080 in your personal life right now I know what

00:49:13.000 that's like and

00:49:14.660 make sure

00:49:16.900 that whenever these obstacles

00:49:18.900 come along this is what

00:49:21.100 is the defining characteristics

00:49:23.200 of yourself this is what's going to

00:49:25.220 define who you are as a man

00:49:27.180 that's what I always realize

00:49:28.960 when I come to these obstacles,

00:49:29.940 I can relate completely to what you're saying.

00:49:32.300 Being isolated, difficulties with the family,

00:49:35.160 how you come out of this

00:49:36.220 and how you learn from the situation

00:49:37.560 is what is going to make you who you are.

00:49:40.640 So it's very difficult right now

00:49:42.300 and it's going to be difficult for a while.

00:49:44.560 But remember that this is a test

00:49:45.940 and Allah has given you this test

00:49:47.200 to see if you could pass it.

00:49:48.980 And so best of luck

00:49:49.720 and make sure that you stay strong

00:49:52.860 in difficult times like this.

00:49:54.220 And thank you for being honest about that.

00:49:55.780 It's very difficult.

00:49:57.680 Yeah.

00:49:58.960 May Allah bless you, may Allah make easy on you of the hardship that you're going through.

00:50:03.500 It's important to remember that as men, you know, we are going to be the leaders of our families.

00:50:08.420 We're going to be fathers to our children.

00:50:10.460 So it's important for Almighty God to mold us in a certain way in order for us to be leaders and role models for our families.

00:50:17.960 Right?

00:50:18.120 So we may go through certain difficult situations, but remember, through hardship comes ease.

00:50:24.100 And what did we speak about earlier?

00:50:26.160 When Allah says something, do we actually believe what Allah says?

00:50:29.820 When Allah says, through hardship comes ease, you know, after hardship comes ease,

00:50:35.480 then you need to believe that.

00:50:37.200 And you have to know that anything Allah puts in your way, you can overcome it. 0.94

00:50:40.660 You just have to defeat that mental hurdle that the shaitan is making you try to give up. 0.98

00:50:45.900 You understand?

00:50:46.580 Never give up, bro.

00:50:47.640 We are Muslims, bro.

00:50:48.940 We're the most honored human beings on earth.

00:50:51.360 You understand what I'm saying?

00:50:52.240 We're the ones who worship God alone without partners and equals.

00:50:55.320 We're following the straight path

00:50:56.760 You understand what I'm saying?

00:50:58.260 So there's nothing, you know

00:51:00.120 So anything that you're going through in your life

00:51:02.020 Just know that Allah is with you

00:51:04.160 Allah is close to you as your juggler of aim

00:51:06.220 And anything you need, you can always depend on your creator

00:51:08.920 And just stay strong

00:51:11.060 Stay strong

00:51:11.660 Can I add on a little bit on that?

00:51:15.880 He says like

00:51:16.840 When Allah is close with you, I understand what you feel 0.69

00:51:19.380 Like when you feel like

00:51:21.240 You can't relate to your peers anymore

00:51:22.780 That you're different, they're different

00:51:24.380 and everything is just different

00:51:25.980 and it's just weird and lonely.

00:51:28.360 So to jump on the whole

00:51:30.020 Allah is close with you,

00:51:32.200 I feel like these are the best moments

00:51:33.980 where you can have great one-on-one conversations

00:51:38.400 with Allah

00:51:38.920 because that's the whole point, I feel like. 0.93

00:51:42.380 I sometimes miss the days

00:51:43.940 where everyone was just busy

00:51:45.860 and I was lonely

00:51:47.060 and I could just talk to Allah always.

00:51:50.140 He will be there

00:51:51.160 even when you don't feel like it.

00:51:53.420 so i wish you guys saw the best man and it's important to know that everything that's happening

00:51:57.660 in your life is a test life is a test don't forget that life is not supposed to be a breeze

00:52:03.160 you know what i mean if anything if you see what this guy goes through

00:52:06.760 you have nothing going on compared to what this guy goes through you know what i'm saying

00:52:11.000 and mashallah he's still standing here he's still smiling he understands life is a test

00:52:15.140 we all have to understand life is a test we're going to be tested we're going to be put to the

00:52:19.520 fire and we're going to be molded and it's up to you how you want to come out after you come out

00:52:24.000 it's up to you you know and like what you're going to become after that it's either you can

00:52:29.260 achieve greatness or you're going to allow the fire to melt yeah it's up to you that's actually

00:52:33.780 uh i've been thinking about that a lot this year it's been a lot of ups and downs and a mindset

00:52:40.020 a mindset shift that i've had that's prevented me from going insane and warner says that every

00:52:44.760 time I see him is like, how are you doing this? For example, like these pants, I was wearing these

00:52:49.860 two days ago and I got attacked in the street. Yeah, it's funny. I mean, I was, I was looking

00:52:55.280 at my phone. I wasn't looking up and somebody comes and swings and I get hit, get hit a couple

00:53:00.080 more times. He pulls out pepper spray and pepper sprays my face. You know what I had to do? I had

00:53:04.740 to go stream cause I had a stream plan with professor Jang and Dave Smith. So I go back home

00:53:08.940 and while I'm like washing the pepper spray out of my eyes, I'm like, all right, here we go.

00:53:12.600 here's another one. I have shifted to now appreciate in a way all the hardship because

00:53:20.080 I'm like, okay, this is another one of a lost test. How am I going to get out of this one?

00:53:24.620 How am I going to be able to come out of this and take a lesson from it? So I wash the pepper

00:53:30.380 spray out of my eyes. I do the interview and then we get right on the plane. I had no time. I'm

00:53:35.380 packing on the phone with the detective talking to the police. Hey, I just got attacked. Okay.

00:53:40.580 we got to figure this stuff out, packing my suitcase. And then I go, I had no time to change

00:53:44.780 the suitcase gets lost at the airport. So we don't even have our clothes. I still have the same

00:53:48.780 clothes. This is just a daily occurrence in my life, but I came to appreciate this stuff,

00:53:54.680 you know, and it's been like this nonstop. It hasn't been a moment's rest during Ramadan during

00:54:00.600 any, it's just been nonstop. And I came to appreciate it because this is what makes life 0.99

00:54:06.900 interesting and also worthwhile. This is what makes

00:54:09.020 it all worth it. The ups and the downs.

00:54:11.000 If it was all happiness, then we

00:54:12.900 wouldn't appreciate Janna if we ever make it.

00:54:17.780 Anyone else?

00:54:20.320 Guy in the

00:54:20.960 blank.

00:54:26.520 Yeah,

00:54:27.020 it's kind of cold in here.

00:54:36.900 We all know that you are a human and you are seeking the truth, like many of us.

00:54:44.900 And they are labeling many deliberately terms to you.

00:54:48.900 I've seen your video with Chef Asim, right?

00:54:54.900 People labeling you as more many of kind.

00:54:59.900 So a question for me and you is that how you differentiate the truth.

00:55:07.900 Like we know Islam is truth, right? 0.97

00:55:10.900 But even within Islam, I mean, you know? 1.00

00:55:13.900 Sex. 0.99

00:55:14.900 Yeah. 0.94

00:55:15.900 So for me as a, you know, like Muslim, I think it is not very true, right? 1.00

00:55:26.900 approach for a new Muslim like you 1.00

00:55:29.480 to indulge 1.00

00:55:31.440 in that

00:55:32.000 things. But

00:55:34.340 it is inevitable as

00:55:37.160 you are a very famous

00:55:39.120 streamer. So how did you

00:55:41.160 Yeah, there's lots of different influences, lots of

00:55:43.340 people with different agendas. Right?

00:55:45.220 You're saying, so how do you not get influenced by people

00:55:47.220 that are pushing their specific agenda?

00:55:50.080 I follow

00:55:51.220 Prophet Muhammad, salallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:55:53.100 So what did he say? I'll ask you. 0.69

00:55:55.520 Did the Prophet

00:55:56.700 call himself Hanafi? Did he call himself Shia? Did he call himself Sunni? Did he say Sufi?

00:56:03.820 He said nothing. He said he's Muslim. I'm Muslim. I don't follow any of these sects. And this is how

00:56:11.240 we are kept divided. This is how we are kept bickering. You're Wahhabi, you're Salafi, you're

00:56:15.940 this, you're that, whatever. At the end of the day, we're all Muslim. And that's what's most

00:56:19.860 important. I think any of these are meant to keep you divided. And my advice would be when you find

00:56:25.040 yourself bickering with those that you almost agree with completely, you are following their

00:56:29.420 agenda. What they want you to do is argue. They want you to have your energy drained. They want

00:56:34.300 you to be divided, yelling at each other instead of looking at the bigger issue. If we are fighting

00:56:38.900 each other, then we have no energy to fight them. So stay away from these little petty bickers and 1.00

00:56:44.780 let's focus on the main goal. 0.92

00:56:48.780 Like your popular slang,

00:56:52.780 .

00:56:56.780 Also, I think we should stay away from the fake type questions.

00:57:02.780 I don't think you guys should be asking a halal or a wrong question.

00:57:08.780 My question is, I do have the Japanese print

00:57:14.780 I will repeat some of Warner's advice actually before he says it.

00:57:35.240 So you've been trying to convince him a lot and you really care about him.

00:57:39.500 And he knows that you care, right? 0.97

00:57:41.540 comes to a point where you just got to say to him, maybe you don't deserve Islam. Maybe you don't 0.93

00:57:47.180 deserve it. You know the truth. He told, he's heard it. You convince him all the time and he's

00:57:52.080 like, I don't know if I'm ready. You don't get it. Now he's, this is what happens when people get too

00:57:57.940 much dawah. They love the attention. Ooh, you really want to convert me, right? Okay, then fine.

00:58:02.360 You don't want to convert. Enjoy hell. Enjoy. I told you already at a certain point, it's up to 1.00

00:58:08.420 them. He doesn't deserve it. Have fun. Bye. We're going to go pray. Have fun doing

00:58:12.280 whatever you do.

00:58:21.800 Okay. Yeah. Go ahead.

00:58:26.480 Hello. First of all, welcome to Malaysia. I'm a fan of you. I hate you. So I watch a lot of your videos.

00:58:34.700 So actually, I'm a Malaysian Chinese, I'm not a convert, but I would like to learn Islam at the same time.

00:58:43.620 Is that your friend?

00:58:45.800 My girlfriend is Muslim Malay, so I'm Chinese.

00:58:50.960 So in Malaysia, we have a lot of religion and race.

00:58:55.980 So my race is Chinese.

00:58:58.880 My family background is Christianity.

00:59:02.540 My parents are Christian. 0.94

00:59:04.700 When I was young, raised up, I was a Christian, but then I'm a naughty boy.

00:59:12.700 So I fool around, you know, alcohol or whatever.

00:59:18.700 Naughty.

00:59:19.700 Yeah, then I've been through all that.

00:59:21.700 Then I mixed with my friends, I was a Buddhist.

00:59:24.700 I learned to pray for the Thai Buddhists.

00:59:28.700 I'm kind of like non-religious or nothing specific, so I would like to also settle down with learning the Islam as well, so would you like to ask your opinion, what's the challenges, because my Chinese friends or even we go to the restaurant sometimes it's like normal place, like what they eat is also have the pork, but sometimes we use sushi also.

00:59:58.700 What you eat, what you eat, doesn't matter, but if I would like to ask is what's the challenges you eat after you convert and you are unable to eat what they want to eat but you still want to social with them, you know, like my family, my family doesn't eat pork that much, but during the festive season, they still eat and have some, you know,

01:00:28.680 just kind of awkward if you don't get along or have what they have just the

01:00:36.920 challenges would like to ask what's your point of view so I just want to

01:00:42.120 understand a little bit point of view so you're saying that you're interested in

01:00:45.900 Islam you come from a Chinese and Chinese background right and and you're

01:00:54.360 worried about the consequences of accepting Islam because of your friends

01:01:00.220 and your relatives, like your fellow Chinese friends and relatives, how they

01:01:04.800 may react, like how the conversations will change, how the relationship will

01:01:10.400 change, how dinner will change. Yeah. Well, I have a question for you my brother. Do you

01:01:15.300 think accepting the truth is going to be easy? No. So then you have to understand

01:01:21.060 these are the challenges that come with accepting the truth.

01:01:23.120 Allah says in the Quran that you think

01:01:25.140 that you will say the truth and you will not be

01:01:27.000 tested. You understand

01:01:28.980 what I'm saying? The reward is so vast

01:01:31.260 my brother. Something

01:01:32.960 your eye, you have to remember

01:01:35.200 what we're doing this for. We're not doing this

01:01:37.000 for no reason. There's a reward.

01:01:39.000 Just like the same thing. Like would you work without

01:01:41.060 faith? No. Never, right?

01:01:43.220 You think Allah's 0.87

01:01:44.120 testing us without there's a big reward at the end?

01:01:47.600 It's such a reward that no eye

01:01:49.140 has ever seen, no nose has ever smelled, no mouth has ever tasted, and no ear has ever

01:01:53.980 heard. And that's for those who pass their test in life. You have to understand there's

01:01:59.080 a big reward that's waiting for you if you choose to accept the truth. It's all your

01:02:04.120 choice, my brother. It is all your choice. Islam, what makes Islam different, is the

01:02:08.740 only religion that worships Almighty God alone, without partners, without equals. It 1.00

01:02:13.560 It is the pure faith to guide you to God and to guide you to the right place in the afterlife.

01:02:19.860 Because obviously, I know you don't want to go out, right?

01:02:21.500 No one wants to go out, right?

01:02:22.820 We all want to strive for the best in this life and hereafter.

01:02:26.160 So do you have a broad way to see?

01:02:28.400 Yeah.

01:02:29.040 Okay.

01:02:30.340 And have you tried praying?

01:02:33.280 Haven't, but sometimes I follow my friend, you know, when they have their break.

01:02:38.860 this

01:02:40.800 praying break during the work

01:02:43.360 are we together

01:02:44.600 to join that to the praying room

01:02:47.180 look how beautiful it is, the fact that

01:02:48.900 Allah even allowed you to worship Him

01:02:50.880 you understand what I'm saying, how big of a blessing

01:02:52.880 He is, you understand, the fact that

01:02:54.720 that shows how much Allah loves you

01:02:56.100 Allah already loves you, Allah wants what's best

01:02:58.820 for you, He's waiting for you to make that right

01:03:00.740 decision now, and it's a very easy decision

01:03:02.920 but it's up to you

01:03:04.360 it is an easy decision, but

01:03:06.460 what I would say is

01:03:08.460 read the Quran, educate yourself,

01:03:11.280 spend time in the masjid. You live here

01:03:13.160 in Malaysia, right? Go to the 1.00

01:03:15.520 masjid, spend time,

01:03:17.220 you know, educate yourself, right?

01:03:19.520 And educate yourself with people that you

01:03:21.280 feel comfortable speaking to. You understand

01:03:23.300 what I'm saying? Because not everyone is the best

01:03:25.320 at explaining Islam or giving

01:03:27.160 dawah. Sometimes they're too forceful.

01:03:29.220 You understand what I'm saying? And Islam is never forced.

01:03:31.160 Religion is never forced. God does not

01:03:33.200 want your fourth word. He wants you

01:03:35.140 to worship Him as long as that's what you want as well.

01:03:37.320 You understand what I'm saying? So I would just say, you know, read the Quran, understand, you know, the truth of Islam. And once you do accept the truth of Islam, then don't share it with your friends. Don't share it with them. Wait until you have enough knowledge and you can explain to them why you choose not to eat pork and eat pork. Why you choose not to do this thing.

01:03:59.420 You could start off, oh, health reasons.

01:04:02.480 You know, I heard that, you know, there's tapeworms, this and that.

01:04:05.360 You know, you can create excuses until you're ready.

01:04:08.320 Don't share it until you're ready.

01:04:10.240 And this is the wisdom of it.

01:04:11.420 You understand?

01:04:12.300 Like, even with your family, maybe your family may react badly to you accepting Islam. 1.00

01:04:17.040 Then don't share it with them until you are ready. 0.99

01:04:19.480 You understand what I'm saying?

01:04:20.520 So I would say that that's like a wiser way to go about it.

01:04:24.080 What would you say? 0.98

01:04:24.680 Yeah, I mean, if you have Christians around that don't know how to just not eating pork 0.95

01:04:30.460 around you, bro, I mean, Jesus didn't eat pork. 0.96

01:04:34.440 Tell them that. 0.98

01:04:35.220 I mean, if they want to follow Jesus, then they could probably give up the parasites 0.99

01:04:38.040 and some bacon. 0.97

01:04:39.460 Yeah.

01:04:40.340 You got it.

01:04:41.520 Yeah, but to be honest, my brother, like, your test is not, like, I'm sorry, it's not

01:04:46.520 that, like, imagine what different people have to go through.

01:04:50.040 I've met people that if their families find out that they became Muslim, like men, there's severe consequences. 0.97

01:04:58.680 And they still went over the opposite. 0.95

01:05:01.360 You understand what I'm saying?

01:05:02.320 So just understand, bro, that accepting the truth is not meant to be easy, but it is going to fulfill you.

01:05:08.680 It's going to give you the peace, it's going to give you the happiness, and also it's going to allow you to,

01:05:13.880 you know, also obviously this is going to be your future wife, right?

01:05:16.660 If you and her are not on the same page as far as where you want your children to be,

01:05:22.240 it's not creating a straight path for your family.

01:05:27.500 You understand what I'm saying?

01:05:28.260 It's really dividing when you start.

01:05:30.480 You understand what I'm saying?

01:05:32.260 I know in your heart the fact that you already prayed with the Muslims.

01:05:35.360 You know this is the truth. 0.97

01:05:36.680 It's just you have to kind of go to the next step.

01:05:40.020 How much have you studied about Islam so far?

01:05:42.120 Not too much, but once in a while.

01:05:47.120 Once in a while? Just try to take some more time and try to understand it.

01:05:51.120 And, you know, spend time in the masjid, spend time praying. I'm pretty sure she knows, you know.

01:05:56.120 But in our culture, we always work through the city, the Muslims.

01:06:03.120 Like, anytime, anywhere.

01:06:06.120 So it's a good relationship between Chinese and religion.

01:06:10.120 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Amazing. Always, yeah. Even, uh, also I have the Chinese Muslim community as well, just that I didn't really approach them yet.

01:06:20.120 But maybe it's time to change your surrounding as well, you know? Like maybe that's, that environment is a very big thing.

01:06:27.120 Like for instance, imagine you go into a perfume store, right? And it's one of the worst perfumes in the world.

01:06:33.120 the world you walk in there and you walk out and do you think you're going to smell like that

01:06:37.680 perfume shop yes right so you are you're going to get uh what do you call it whatever environment

01:06:44.800 you're in you're going to there's going to be effects of that environment so if you need to

01:06:49.600 change your environment for the betterment of your family and for your future children

01:06:53.760 that's that's not something that you know it's a it's a sacrifice but it's worth it

01:06:58.000 Okay, yeah, we have this one more.

01:07:11.120 I just got laughing at the, I don't understand what I'm saying.

01:07:13.460 Sorry.

01:07:14.460 I don't have a question for Steve, but I did want to share a little bit of my story

01:07:19.640 because it kind of relates to people.

01:07:21.120 My name is Ali, I'm in my 20s, and I think, sorry.

01:07:25.800 Growing up in Malaysia, I think it's easy to get, I always identify myself as Muslim,

01:07:35.800 but Muslim to me meant that I was just someone with a religion of Islam.

01:07:41.800 And then, as mentioned earlier, I'm in my 20s, so my growing up, I always knew that I had Islam than my parents,

01:07:49.800 but my goal was to always, you know, live my best life.

01:07:53.800 by. So my goal was to live in New York City because I used to learn watching

01:07:57.880 about the world. I just want to be out there and explore the world. And I got the opportunity to

01:08:03.240 move to New York. My dad was not happy when he heard about it because he had six daughters and

01:08:08.360 I wanted them. But I did go to university in the U.S. and I came back to Malaysia and thought,

01:08:12.760 like this is so boring i need to be out there i need to do more in my life so i got to new york

01:08:19.640 and then i was spoiled by because i had a consulting job and you know i think it was

01:08:26.840 um but obviously it got lonely because my parents were there and i have a big family

01:08:33.000 um so i would have fun and i'll come back to my apartment feeling unfulfilled per se

01:08:38.440 And then I'll scroll on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and I can cross Nico.

01:08:42.720 I've heard about this reaper story, watched a YouTube video, and there was one line that

01:08:47.360 visited this YouTube video, which I constantly live by today, which is, whatever you give

01:08:51.320 up for a second, a long, I wouldn't want you to do something greater.

01:08:54.700 So as much as I really loved my time in New York, I knew that my parents would prefer

01:08:59.680 me being near them.

01:09:01.840 And as they got older as well, and growing up with a big family, I knew that, you know,

01:09:06.180 So I had to face the hard decision to leave and it was not easy one in two months to make that decision, but you know, whatever you give up for the sake of law, he was a lawyer and I think when you see Steve's story, he embodies that.

01:09:27.180 So I think the takeaway here, number one, is if you haven't heard that, I think it's really helpful to implement it in your day-to-day because without desires and everything like that, it's easy to crave and want more, but if you're intent, like what is really your intention and purpose, and if it isn't bringing you in that direction, you need to give it up.

01:09:48.640 So that's one, and then another big thing that I've heard during my time in New York, which, alhamdulillah, living in New York City, it taught me to appreciate Islam.

01:09:57.180 And they taught me to learn my religion more. 0.69

01:09:59.180 I also learned that being Muslim means submitting to Allah. 0.93

01:10:02.180 And then when I learned that in New York, I was like, whoa. 0.96

01:10:06.180 Because every time I just thought English is a religion, like, okay, I'm Muslim because I believe in Islam.

01:10:11.180 But when I learned that Muslim means submitting to Allah, 0.75

01:10:14.180 there are days right now and I'm just like, oh, I could have been in New York City. 0.97

01:10:17.180 I could be, you know, living alone in my apartment.

01:10:20.180 We're fine.

01:10:21.180 But alhamdulillah, I was able to make this decision and just submit to Allah.

01:10:25.180 aspects and you know better things to come really um but yeah i was hoping to come up here and share

01:10:30.700 that story and just say thanks to you um because i think that was life-changing and

01:10:36.300 getting through your story opened up more channels and have been using other youtubers like yourself

01:10:41.020 and those adventures etc but i met you guys in new york city so it's nice to see you here again

01:10:48.460 and i hope you uh thank you

01:10:54.140 want to clap

01:10:59.900 we've actually closed the question part of the segment but i do have two questions from the

01:11:04.780 side and that's okay they're basically wondering and asking um to you how do you measure success

01:11:14.220 I don't think you could fully measure success at all until the real test is, uh, it's either a pass

01:11:27.860 or fail. It's not a grade. It's not a, your GPA. The real measurement of success is whether or not

01:11:34.840 you make it to John or you go to eternal fire. I think that's the only way. And so the best we

01:11:41.400 can do is try every single day to make sure we make our efforts to not go and burn for eternity.

01:11:49.680 I like this quote from Sheikh Withman. He was the one who introduced me to the Warner back a few

01:11:55.320 years ago. And he's talking to some gangsters. And the gangsters are, you know, the tough guys.

01:12:01.680 They tow guns. They do this. They do that. Said, you're a tough guy. Go to the kitchen. Turn on

01:12:06.440 the stove, put it in the highest heat and put your hand on the stove. Put it for three seconds,

01:12:11.760 four seconds. How long does it burn? A couple of seconds is going to burn your hand, right?

01:12:15.980 You're a tough guy. Now imagine that for eternity. And you think about that. That's a good reminder

01:12:21.840 that you want to spend your time, not trying to be successful in terms of your reputation of being

01:12:28.020 a tough guy or being whatever worldly things are going to call you, but make sure that you avoid

01:12:32.420 that because that's gonna that's gonna be hot that's gonna sting understood uh then the last

01:12:39.800 question from the side to the both of you is there any books that you are reading now to help you

01:12:45.440 improve your faith or improve your practices in islam any books come to mind you were just reading

01:12:52.440 something on the plane yeah i mean on the plane right now there's a couple books that i'm reading

01:12:56.320 about um mainly because i believe that we're coming to a time where um i believe that we're

01:13:03.200 coming to a time where the fitna of the of the jaw is very very close so i thought it's very

01:13:08.740 important to understand um the you know the depths of what our religion teaches about the

01:13:15.980 end times so the certain books that i'm reading right now is the stories of the prophets um by

01:13:21.500 right so alhamdulillah in the plane I got through almost 150 pages so yeah you

01:13:28.340 know so I'm almost done it's like 570 pages but I'll finish it on the strip

01:13:31.400 inshallah and then also there's another book the Jal the Antichrist and then

01:13:36.500 one more book is the signs of the end times the major and minor signs so these

01:13:43.100 are the three books that I'm looking into right now oh okay just sound like fun

01:13:47.460 books. It's relevant to the times that we're living.

01:13:51.560 Yeah. Okay. Let's see. Well, you know, you guys have been, do you have,

01:13:55.860 I've been focusing more on lectures recently and learning from different

01:14:01.020 professors. Some of them are not Muslim, but you know, they have fitra. Some of 1.00

01:14:05.300 them are Shia, but I think we're also Muslim at the end of the day, but I've

01:14:09.360 been looking more into eschatology and the, of course, the end times, because I

01:14:14.520 I think this is something that more people are becoming hyper aware of.

01:14:18.100 And again, I can relate to the Warner story too.

01:14:20.580 That's how I really started to want to look more into God was seeing how much evil there was.

01:14:26.120 Like looking at, you know, Jeffrey Epstein's Island, for example,

01:14:29.400 it's like, okay, if they're doing all this evil, there must be something on the inverse.

01:14:33.080 And so that helps me, you know, it helps see the truth,

01:14:36.620 looking at all the evil that's clearly real.

01:14:40.840 Thank you for that.

01:14:41.620 So you guys have been traveling to a lot of few places, right?

01:14:46.020 No, you just laughed at that, that's all.

01:14:49.020 Oh, okay.

01:14:51.220 How was the trip so far?

01:14:53.220 I think we've had a very long talk about journeys and everything and stuff like that, but we

01:15:00.420 probably can dabble to a little lighter topic, like how has it been traveling so far, the

01:15:05.120 both of you?

01:15:06.120 Have you guys enjoyed every aspect?

01:15:08.220 But there are moments that you're like, ah.

01:15:12.260 You want to go ahead?

01:15:14.120 I mean, I'm always traveling.

01:15:15.560 I love to see the world.

01:15:17.180 And I think the main, I'll talk about the objectives with this trip.

01:15:20.760 I think what was super interesting, I don't know if anybody knows about the country of Bosnia.

01:15:25.260 But this is a country in Eastern Europe.

01:15:28.860 Some people call it a Slavic country, formerly Yugoslavia.

01:15:33.120 And they have all the back and forth wars.

01:15:35.480 It's in the Balkan region.

01:15:38.220 Bosnia is maybe a 95%, it looks like 99% white country. 0.93

01:15:42.860 They're far whiter than America. 0.97

01:15:44.600 But after something like the Times Square prayer, 0.88

01:15:46.400 where people are like, America's a white Christian country, 0.76

01:15:48.340 they can't pray in Times Square.

01:15:49.980 Bosnia is super interesting because not only is their culture

01:15:52.040 very similar to a culture like Malaysia,

01:15:53.840 I hear that there's some similarities,

01:15:55.480 or even a country like Iran.

01:15:57.840 But Bosnia is there to break a lot of the propaganda, I think,

01:16:03.340 especially when they try to say that,

01:16:05.260 in America they say Christianity is a white religion.

01:16:08.220 even though it comes from the same place where Islam came from. 0.99

01:16:10.940 They say that Islam is for brown people.

01:16:13.180 But Malaysia, for example, is one of the most Muslim countries in the world.

01:16:17.280 And they say that you wear yellow skin as Asian people.

01:16:22.260 So I want to go around the world and show Islam for what it is,

01:16:25.440 because when there's so much propaganda, people have no idea what Islam truly is.

01:16:29.580 They think Islam is an Arab religion when it's not.

01:16:32.500 And one of the last speeches that Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he gave,

01:16:35.340 He said, no Arab is superior to a non-Arab 0.99

01:16:38.760 The first man to give the call to prayer 0.69

01:16:41.160 Was not a white man, was not an Arab man

01:16:42.840 It was Bilal, a dark-skinned black man 0.86

01:16:45.220 Who was formerly a slave, if I'm not mistaken

01:16:47.340 There's no racial superiority in Islam

01:16:50.320 This is what helped me resonate it with so much

01:16:53.300 Because the worship of your skin, the worship of yourself

01:16:56.100 Is one of the acts of worship that people don't talk about enough 0.99

01:16:58.980 Where the evils of Israel right now 0.86

01:17:01.680 These are people who believe so much that they're chosen 0.99

01:17:04.500 But not chosen to spread the word of God

01:17:06.240 Chosen meaning that they are superior 0.91

01:17:07.820 And that they can commit acts of genocide and evil around the world 0.98

01:17:10.840 Because the rest are subhuman 1.00

01:17:12.920 The rest are goyim 1.00

01:17:13.800 And we are the superior class of what they believe in 1.00

01:17:16.320 And so adopting this with any other belief

01:17:18.540 This is

01:17:20.080 The reason that they do the evil they do 1.00

01:17:22.460 You can't see what Israel is doing 1.00

01:17:24.320 And then repeat the racial superiority 1.00

01:17:26.560 So I want to go around the world

01:17:28.300 Again I know some of you have different beliefs

01:17:30.560 About Indonesia but Indonesia

01:17:32.220 is the most Muslim country demographically

01:17:34.580 by population in the world.

01:17:36.380 They say it's a brown religion. Well, Indonesia's 1.00

01:17:38.340 an Asian country, and if you follow

01:17:40.220 population, then this is the representative

01:17:42.380 of Islam. When you look at Basi and you see 0.90

01:17:44.380 the Eid prayer, and it's all white people, you say, 1.00

01:17:46.420 oh, well, Christianity's a white 0.81

01:17:48.360 religion? What are you going to call these people?

01:17:50.340 They're far whiter than America.

01:17:52.320 And it's not because any race is superior.

01:17:54.280 It's because we're only superior

01:17:56.120 through works, through what you do.

01:17:57.760 We're not judged on what we look like and where

01:18:00.100 we're born. We're judged off of what's in our heart.

01:18:02.220 and what we put out into the world.

01:18:04.100 This is what I want people to know

01:18:05.440 is the most important.

01:18:09.760 Alhamdulillah.

01:18:10.520 So, yeah, as far as traveling together,

01:18:12.440 yeah, no, it's been absolutely amazing, man.

01:18:13.960 Alhamdulillah, I think I met Sneeko in 2023.

01:18:16.580 I was introduced to him through Sheikh Hutman.

01:18:19.000 And Alhamdulillah, man,

01:18:19.960 it's been an amazing brotherhood since, you know?

01:18:22.100 Like, we've traveled the world together,

01:18:23.840 you know, and, yeah, 1.00

01:18:25.900 just fighting the Shaytan day by day, bro. 0.99

01:18:29.020 You know what I mean?

01:18:30.000 He's my, you know,

01:18:31.880 partner in finding this shaitan it's an honor man it's an honor to fight this battle with him

01:18:37.240 and inshallah you know we made we gained more companions on the way inshallah inshallah thank

01:18:42.460 you and you guys uh made a trip here to malaysia can i know why did you choose malaysia was it

01:18:48.400 because it was an islamic country or because well i want to see southeast asia and i my mother's

01:18:56.700 filipino i have filipino roots so that is the plan afterwards but i want to see this region of the

01:19:00.960 world. I've never seen Malaysia. I had barely heard anything about it. And so today I got to

01:19:06.140 speak to PMX, great guy, Anwar Ibrahim. Even when I was talking about going to Malaysia,

01:19:12.560 people were saying, oh, look, you're going off to a third world country. You're going to call

01:19:15.680 this place a third world country? People have this idea that anything that's not America's

01:19:19.960 third world, it's a beautiful country, beautiful infrastructure, architecture. The mall was,

01:19:24.920 everything was clean. It's incredible the amount of propaganda that we're fed.

01:19:28.960 So I want to visit the world.

01:19:30.920 I want to visit every country.

01:19:32.660 I mean, Malaysia, something was calling.

01:19:34.440 And obviously, it was very great to have hospitality from faith events.

01:19:38.640 It's been great so far, and I look forward to the rest of this trip here.

01:19:40.920 Malaysia's been great so far.

01:19:42.940 How about you?

01:19:44.420 Yeah, no, no, absolutely.

01:19:45.820 Well, when it came to the decision of where, you know, the trip was going to go,

01:19:50.440 because Nico is the one who kind of decided where.

01:19:53.280 And yeah, I always enjoy traveling 0.89

01:19:57.280 Especially when it comes to spreading Islam

01:20:00.760 And sharing the message of Islam 1.00

01:20:01.980 And doing dawah 1.00

01:20:02.960 I'm always down with something like that

01:20:04.700 It's beautiful, I'm really enjoying Malaysia

01:20:07.840 It's only been really one day

01:20:10.020 So I can't say too much

01:20:13.340 But being in the government area

01:20:14.940 It was very beautiful

01:20:15.980 That government compound area is gorgeous

01:20:20.160 The way the architecture is built

01:20:22.160 You know, the water, all this is very, very, very beautiful.

01:20:25.920 You got to spend more time on the day.

01:20:28.180 How long are you guys here again in Malaysia?

01:20:31.380 I think we're going day by day.

01:20:32.860 Day by day.

01:20:33.540 Yeah.

01:20:34.040 Nice.

01:20:34.420 I never know what's going to happen later, like in an hour.

01:20:36.860 I mean, you never know.

01:20:38.980 All right.

01:20:39.460 Yeah.

01:20:39.680 So we're just going to see how it goes.

01:20:41.260 Exactly.

01:20:41.980 All right.

01:20:42.460 Sounds like a plan. 1.00

01:20:43.600 I mean, it's all Allah's plan. 0.99

01:20:44.940 Who knows? 1.00

01:20:45.660 That's true.

01:20:46.220 You know, this might be the last time that all of us will ever be able to see each other.

01:20:50.480 We never know if tomorrow's promised.

01:20:51.920 i'll never know if i'll ever see you again all we could do is just live in the moment and appreciate

01:20:56.620 it i'm not trying to be too existential with it but that's the real truth you don't know if you're

01:21:00.780 going to see your loved ones tomorrow you don't know if you're ever going to speak to the same

01:21:05.100 people again this perhaps could be our last conversation so nothing is guaranteed tomorrow

01:21:09.540 is not promised who knows hopefully though i would like to yeah inshallah inshallah but it is it is

01:21:16.700 very important to remember. Yeah. But no, that's a very, it's a very, how do I say this? It's a

01:21:21.980 very Islamic mindset to have in a sense where I know it sounds very basic, but the contents of it

01:21:28.480 is basically understanding that life is just life. And if you expect way too much from life, 0.90

01:21:37.360 then you're just probably going to end up disappointed, probably end up in the hellfire.

01:21:40.820 and it's true. Everything is just

01:21:43.800 supposed to be moment by moment

01:21:45.880 test by test

01:21:47.440 faith by faith and people

01:21:49.780 by people till we

01:21:51.380 reach the end of our times

01:21:52.960 which is sadly the end

01:21:55.640 of this segment

01:21:56.600 but

01:21:58.880 I just want to say thank you to the both

01:22:01.800 of you for coming in down here

01:22:03.460 and sharing your insight

01:22:04.820 giving Malaysia a chance because 1.00

01:22:07.500 let me tell you most people will not

01:22:09.380 They really do think we are a third-world country.

01:22:13.380 But, yeah, if there's anything I would like to say from my side,

01:22:18.160 from FaithFueled, and from everyone here, thank you so much.

01:22:21.700 And we hope you have a lovely time exploring the rest of Malaysia.

01:22:25.800 Or you might go to Singapore tomorrow.

01:22:27.300 We don't know.

01:22:28.380 We don't know.

01:22:28.900 But as for now, thank you very much.
