If you've ever wondered how I have so much energy to be able to go to the gym twice a day,
00:00:03.880

but we just released it, sabresupplements.com. And look at the bottle. It looks nice. It's good.
00:00:22.480
It's going up right now. A lot of people on Twitter are talking about it. I'm very excited
00:00:25.660
to see more people take it in the future, but this is right here. This is where I get my energy.
00:00:29.740
This is how I feel vital. It's proven to boost your testosterone,

00:00:42.740
Snaked Zerka again. No, I didn't. I called him and he didn't pick up.
00:00:48.060
Asalaamu Alaikum. How are you, man? Can you hear me?
00:00:50.620
Jumal and Bark. Yeah, I can hear you great. Can you hear me?
00:00:53.000
I'm okay. Yeah, yeah. This is like not my thing, you know, using Discord and this other. It's just for you,
00:00:57.180
you know. I hope everything is going good, you know. It's good. I'm glad that you were able
00:01:00.960
to make it. I've been watching your videos and we've seen a lot of your videos over the last
00:01:04.680
couple of weeks. You know, you pop up quite a bit. I saw you defend me sometimes and it's great
00:01:09.060
to meet you, man. I like your content. Mashallah. No, yeah, I think you're worthy of being defended,
00:01:13.960
to be honest. And since your manager, he reached out to me. I like done some research about you,
00:01:17.700
you know, that's something I like to do, you know. I psychoanalyze people sometimes,
00:01:21.180
you know. So that's a research about you. Your audience is about to try to get an idea of what you guys do,
00:01:26.380
you know. But yeah, like, I think you're worthy of being defended. And I was mentioning this to
00:01:30.700
your manager yesterday. It's like the difference between you, for example, and Andrew, you know,
00:01:35.680
Andrew Tate is our brother and everything like that. But when he accepted Islam, I can see a huge
00:01:40.020
difference between what you're doing and what he's doing. Like, okay, he accepted Islam.
00:01:44.220
Wait, what are you trying to say that I'm better?
00:01:47.360
I think you're doing better. I say that 100%. There's no doubt about that. Publicly,
00:01:51.140
I'm not talking about privately. Privately is between him and Allah. I don't know what he's doing.
00:01:54.100
I have no clue of the people around him. But publicly, you are doing a lot better,
00:01:57.840
of course. And there are reasons for that. There's evidence for that. First is the idea
00:02:01.860
that when he accepted Islam, of course, he speaks good about Islam when he's on podcasts,
00:02:06.100
etc., which is good. But what you do is not just that. You speak about Islam. You try to do
00:02:10.060
da'wah to multiple different people. I've noticed that. You're doing da'wah to, like,
00:02:13.700
different creators. You're posting when you go doing the prayer, you know. You're pressing your
00:02:18.880
cameraman, trying to make him become Muslim, you know. So these type of things are you're collaborating.
00:02:23.420
He's still a Christian. He's afraid. He's, like, a white American. So he's afraid of coming to
00:02:27.340
Islam. But I think I was, like, too pushy with the da'wah. I've noticed since, like, I've been
00:02:31.340
trying to do a lot of da'wah that you can't be too pushy. You just have to kind of just have an
00:02:35.220
open heart and then let people find it themselves. You got to, like, it's like trapping a rabbit.
00:02:38.980
You know, you put, like, little pieces of carrots and then you let them go nibble it themselves
00:02:42.720
and then the crate falls on top of the rabbit. But I've been a little bit too pushy and then
00:02:49.960
Yeah. So the thing with the, I was just saying other things that you're doing, for example,
00:02:54.020
like collaborating with Sheikh Othman, like our brother, the Warner, these type of brothers,
00:02:58.200
right? So there's a lot of things that you're doing, like, from an Islamic perspective that
00:03:01.820
I would say our brother Andrew is not doing. No hate his way. I like the brother. There's
00:03:05.680
no issues. I'm not criticizing him. But I'm saying if we look at the comparison, for example,
00:03:09.360
also the fact that you accepted Islam after him. But obviously when he did, he went to prison
00:03:13.500
and there was all of these issues. So that was also a barrier in his way. Right. So
00:03:17.560
yeah, the dawah, like, just like you said, you know, look, there's a lot of people who
00:03:22.480
confuse dawah with debate. This is not the same thing. No, no, no. Dawah is spreading
00:03:27.560
the message of Islam. Habib had a great statement. He said that non-Muslims, they don't read
00:03:31.700
Hadith. They don't read Quran. They read the Muslims. So all you can do is be the best
00:03:35.420
representation of Islam that you can and how beautiful it is. But people in the chat are
00:03:39.160
saying, like, we're trying to, like, set a division. I consider, like, Andrew Tate is
00:03:44.400
a Muslim brother of mine. I don't really, like, everybody has a different relationship
00:03:50.000
with Allah and a different relationship with Islam and how they spread it. I don't think
00:03:53.240
there's any point for them to try to pick sides.
00:03:56.920
You know, the interesting thing is I've made a video about him when he went to prison.
00:04:00.320
I defended him, right? Way before, oh, when everyone was against him, I defended him. I still
00:04:04.160
even have some shorts maybe talking about him, alhamdulillah, that he, when he was released
00:04:07.760
and this and that. So I've got zero enmity or hatred or anything against him, right? But I'm
00:04:13.320
talking about the public sphere, right? How much the person pushes, like, the idea of Islam. Like,
00:04:17.980
for example, how much you speak about Palestine, these type of things, right? These issues are
00:04:21.660
very, very important. And I understand he has a lot more pressure than you as well. We have to
00:04:25.540
be honest. I think where he is, he's got a lot more pressure than you do. So perhaps that could be
00:04:30.700
one of the reasons why he's not doing as much, right? But my point is about you now. It's not about
00:04:34.660
him. It's that you are worthy of being supported, is what I'm trying to say. I think publicly, Muslims,
00:04:39.600
especially people who have platforms, people are following you, which is what I was telling them,
00:04:43.280
right? They should be more supportive of what you're doing, right? Like, and your manager telling
00:04:47.420
me, like, you're rejecting gambling deals for millions of dollars. I think many of these Muslims
00:04:52.420
watching you, criticizing you, if they had the same option, they would take that gambling deal, you
00:04:56.440
know? Many people would. Like, I'm not saying everyone watching you, but I would say a lot of people
00:05:00.380
would, right? Because you can speak easily and say, I'm not going to do it. But when the money is in
00:05:04.380
front of you, it's a different story, right? When someone is telling you literally, just sign here
00:05:07.960
and you'll get the money, right? So I think this is something that you should be supported for.
00:05:13.720
Of course, they have their criticisms and like, nobody is perfect. There are certain things that
00:05:18.500
are not Islamic that you could be doing on your streams, this and that. But this is the thing,
00:05:21.820
this is the environment that you're in. Like, what are you trying to do from my humble point of view
00:05:27.960
is you're trying to be a Muslim within like Satan's world,
00:05:31.540
right? You're trying to be like the person who calls people to good within a world that is run
00:05:37.220
by Satan, right? Yeah. So everyone around you is essentially doing things which are haram,
00:05:41.400
right? And if you want to collaborate with other people, this is essentially their content. This
00:05:44.500
is what they're doing. Yeah. And it's almost impossible to, I think I kind of, I push a lot of
00:05:50.060
people away because then I end up becoming like the influencer embodiment of the haram police,
00:05:54.440
which you see a lot on Twitter. Like people will have debates for three, four days straight about
00:05:58.100
a mother posting a picture of her, her belly, you know, it's a baby, but which, you know,
00:06:02.760
in my opinion, it's not that big of a deal, but the haram police is so strong on online that it ends
00:06:09.120
up like, it ends up taking up so much conversation for days on end. And then that turns people away
00:06:15.480
so much more than it brings people in. When people see like Muslims arguing over a baby bump,
00:06:20.000
it's just like, it's just confusing to the non-Muslim and I think it's a giant waste of time.
00:06:23.200
But when I try to get closer to Allah and get closer to Islam, I think I've become more polarizing
00:06:29.800
and also people see it like I'm getting on a moral high ground. And I think that I kind of
00:06:33.760
turn people away, especially when it's like what I stand for. Even today, I tweeted a band porn on
00:06:39.940
Twitter. I think that porn should be banned on Twitter. And I think a lot of people agree with
00:06:44.440
that. But then at the same time, I think about all the influencers that I am close with and would
00:06:49.100
consider like online friends. They are in relationships with girls who do porn or do
00:06:53.460
OnlyFans or do stuff like that. And then they see what I'm just talking about. And that drives a wedge
00:06:58.760
in between me and them. And they kind of get, they're like, oh, this guy, like, does he think
00:07:02.860
he's better than me? So it's very difficult to be on your Dean and to stay halal in this world
00:07:08.660
because everything is pushing you to just be, you know, a pimp, a prostitute, a gambler,
00:07:13.180
a degenerate selling alcohol, things like that. And I like a lot of these people, but I don't agree
00:07:18.100
with what they do. And I think that when they see me speak against these things, they think that
00:07:22.140
I'm speaking against them specifically when it's, I'm not speaking against them. I'm speaking against
00:07:31.100
You know, like my analysis of views is a bit like I've had that analysis of you can say, right?
00:07:36.240
Like I can say that you're a person who's genuine and this is not like, it's not a,
00:07:40.740
it's not praising you, but I can see that you, you trust people, for example, people in your
00:07:45.900
circle, people in the stream, this and that, you'll trust them. You'll try to be genuine with
00:07:50.180
them. You'll try to defend them when they're not there. And you're not going to, you're not going
00:07:53.380
to get the same treatment from them, right? Because those people don't view you the same way you view
00:07:57.440
them. This genuineness or being a trustworthy person towards other people is not necessarily always
00:08:02.680
like, you're not always going to get it from the opposite side. So I can see that side of you.
00:08:07.500
You care about speaking the truth. For example, you getting like canceled from social media,
00:08:13.340
specifically YouTube and every other platform right now, you're doing this on Rumble, right?
00:08:17.580
And I think it's very important that when you do these types of like podcast or conversations,
00:08:22.600
whatever you want to call it, that you say in the beginning of the conversation that you are
00:08:25.560
doing it on Rumble. Because what happens most of the time is that people clip or take your video
00:08:30.200
and post it somewhere else. And if you don't mention it, if you don't speak about it,
00:08:33.580
within you speaking to that individual, people think that you are, you know,
00:08:36.500
you're a YouTuber, you're on TikTok, you're there, so that, while in reality, someone else is doing
00:08:40.200
that content for you, right? So I think it's important to mention it just like we did right
00:08:43.660
now, right? So you can be too trusting of people, but I think you've got some things there. Like,
00:08:48.760
for example, you want to be appreciated for speaking about the truth. And I think something
00:08:52.760
you need to understand is that people who speak the truth have always been fought throughout history.
00:08:57.340
You look at the prophets of God, you look at the best people, people who've done well,
00:09:00.300
you talk about Malcolm X a lot, you can see how his life was, how much fighting he had to do,
00:09:04.360
right? So do not expect people to be welcoming with you when you speak about the truth.
00:09:08.060
I think it's something that you need to kind of internalize that people are not going to like you
00:09:11.860
if you speak about the truth, right? And my advice, honestly, is that you understand that most people
00:09:18.780
are robotic kind of, right? They're essentially brainwashed by what they see around them.
00:09:26.060
Yeah, yeah. So what you have to do in a way, so what you have to do in a way. So I'm on YouTube,
00:09:30.660
for example. But I have to be very careful with the phrasing that I, when I talk about certain
00:09:36.380
When you talk about Zionism, that's what you mean. You can't say that word. You can probably say free,
00:09:39.700
but you stick to Palestine instead of criticizing Israel too much.
00:09:43.020
No, no, I do. I do actually, I do. But I do it in a smart way. This is the thing. So I've got like
00:09:46.900
three or four videos about, about, one of them actually was removed by YouTube, since you're talking
00:09:50.760
about this, right? So one of them was removed by YouTube, right? But I know the reason it was removed,
00:09:55.300
like, but other, other videos, uh, where I speak about, I speak clearly about Zionism and what their
00:10:00.740
plans are and everything like that. Right. But I think first I've built a platform and I've been
00:10:05.380
speaking in a specific way that did not give me a negative, uh, like persona in, in the YouTube
00:10:11.060
community, right? Where YouTube is targeting me or looking at everything, how I say or how I don't,
00:10:14.980
how I don't say. And I'm very careful. Like when I talk about LGBTQ, uh, the gays, this and that,
00:10:19.220
that anyone, uh, which people we would, we Islamically, we do not agree with these specific
00:10:23.620
practices. I do speak about them. Right. If you check my channel, you'll see, I speak about people
00:10:27.380
who are, uh, LGBTQ communities. I spoke with lesbians, transgenders. I spoke with everyone,
00:10:31.380
right? I spoke with people as, uh, I spoke as a Zionist, uh, IDF soldier, right? Uh, who accepted Islam,
00:10:37.540
which was a bit surprising. I saw that. That was really cool. Yeah. Yeah. That video went so viral
00:10:42.740
that even in that world, everyone, my parents, people around me sent me videos like you're
00:10:46.700
Al Jazeera or this or that is like, but yeah, that person, like, uh, he came and he was very
00:10:51.660
angry. Right. So if you give him the same energy talking about Dawah and how Dawah is done on this,
00:10:55.900
if I were to give him the same energy from the beginning, this would have been a shouting match
00:10:59.260
between me and him. Right. He's already has trauma. He's already had issues, this and that.
00:11:03.180
So if you give him the same energy, you would have been like a disaster. It's not, it's not what
00:11:07.420
you're trying to do. Of course, I started the video by speaking about facts and how, uh, uh,
00:11:12.460
the Zionists took over Palestine, how they came from 1917, all of these things,
00:11:16.060
which is history, which is very important, which most people don't know. So what I, what I want
00:11:19.660
to say to you is this, is that you have to be very careful in your way. Like, okay, you speak in the
00:11:23.980
truth, but you have to kind of be careful in the way that you speak, uh, the truth. Right. You have
00:11:29.500
to kind of make it in a way which most of these people that you call bots, right? You just call
00:11:32.780
the bots. These bots are receptive to it. You know, they're not repelled by it. They're more receptive
00:11:37.420
to it. So your way has to be very intelligent, very smart, your demeanor, these type of things. I think it's
00:11:41.980
very important. Like, and this, this is one of the things that, for example, that the, the quote
00:11:46.220
unquote red pill community that overlooks, right? It's facts. Just say it's facts. That's not the
00:11:51.340
case, right? That's not how human beings function, right? That you just speak, we are humans and we've
00:11:55.900
got intellect and we've got emotions. Okay. Yeah. Men are more on the rational side, this and that,
00:12:00.780
but they also got emotions and they also react to, to, towards things, right? That are, if they, uh, shock
00:12:06.860
them in a specific way. So I don't agree with this type of idea that, right? And I think it's
00:12:11.820
very important, right? That you're very clear about what you say. You try to tailor it in a way
00:12:15.900
in which you will be more suitable for these type of audiences. You know, you can speak about the truth.
00:12:19.980
Yeah. But do you think the best method I've seen it, people in the low speech community
00:12:23.820
saying that, oh, my motto is seek truth through funny. So I should probably be, I should probably
00:12:29.180
turn it down and just be more lighthearted and be funnier with it instead of like,
00:12:33.020
I think people are kind of repelled. They think that I'm immediately going to be like,
00:12:36.300
what do you think about Palestine? Like when they're at like a super bowl game or something
00:12:39.660
like that. And I can understand why people think that because I like to, you know, I do like to
00:12:45.500
have uncomfortable conversations and ask questions that get people like spark a real discussion.
00:12:50.060
I think a lot of conversations and small talk is just a giant waste of time. People talking about
00:12:53.980
the weather, talking about celebrity drama. I think people talk about stupid things. I want to talk about
00:12:57.900
something that that's more interesting, but I think it's important to, to bring a comedic element to it.
00:13:04.060
Uh, and I think what happened over the past couple of years and seeing what's going on in Gaza,
00:13:09.100
seeing what's going on in the world and who controls the world, what they're trying to do to
00:13:12.460
us and everything that they're promoting. It's kind of hard to have a lighthearted view all the time
00:13:19.900
because things are getting really serious really quickly. The world is so far polarized and is becoming
00:13:25.420
so crazy that it's, it's, it's crazier than anything fiction. It's crazier than anything. I can't,
00:13:30.860
you can't watch TV anymore. No movies are really interesting because the world is,
00:13:35.260
is crazier than anything you could write. And that's why it's kind of hard to, you know,
00:13:39.340
be like, Hey, when you actually know what's going on in the world, but it's really necessary to,
00:13:46.220
to hold that mentality so that you could be more receptive and open to people. And you're right.
00:13:50.060
Like people who are speaking the truth, the people that I look up to the most are the most
00:13:53.340
criticized and scrutinized people. They, they murdered Malcolm X. So I, you know,
00:13:57.180
I have to understand that if I have an actual message within a world where it's all clownery
00:14:03.340
and it's all degeneracy that this is inevitably going to happen, but what's your, yeah. It seems
00:14:10.860
like you have a pretty good idea of, of my career. I do want to ask you some, some questions, but
00:14:16.460
what is your analysis been on the outside looking in about, about my career and about everything that
00:14:21.900
you're seeing happen, uh, right now? Because I don't know if you've been paying too close attention,
00:14:27.180
but I've noticed in the past couple of weeks, past couple of months, especially when I
00:14:30.220
started following the Dean and I left a lot of things behind, especially this year.
00:14:35.100
I've noticed more temptations from Shaytan at every single angle. I've noticed them try to be like,
00:14:40.060
as soon as I get closer to Allah, I've noticed them try Shaytan, try to drag me down more and more and
00:14:45.980
more. It's like when I was within that world, I didn't notice the pull as much, but as I started getting
00:14:50.060
away from that, it's like they, they're trying to claw me back more and more and more. And I know
00:14:55.100
that, uh, the Love Siege community sees it and that's the people who watch the streams. And also
00:15:00.700
at the same time, people that I've known for a long time are, are starting to ignore me, started to
00:15:05.500
push me away. They, they, they're trying to, I've noticed more censorship and more people trying to
00:15:11.580
shut me out. I don't know what you've seen about that.
00:15:15.660
Okay. So, so I want to say something interesting first is that, do you remember a video that I
00:15:19.820
reacted towards, uh, one of your, uh, when you were speaking to, uh, that person from Fresh and Fit,
00:15:25.100
right? What's it, Myron, his name, right? Yeah. You were speaking to him and I, and I was reacting
00:15:28.460
to what you were saying about everything being haram, right? And, and what, something interesting
00:15:32.140
I said in that video is when you are in a specific world where everything you do, where everything
00:15:36.220
around you is haram, then you find everything haram, right? And when you are in a different world
00:15:39.980
with everything, where everything around you is haram, it's halal, or people are always doing things
00:15:43.340
which are halal. It's not as difficult as you may think it is, right? So it just depends on where you position yourself.
00:15:49.020
You're talking about where I, where I see you. Of course, I've done some research about you.
00:15:52.380
Where I see you is that you've matured a lot, I think. You've matured a lot from where you used to be.
00:15:56.620
Uh, your behavior have matured a lot. And I think people like, they like to fun, make fun of certain
00:16:01.340
things that you've done in your past. They hold against you, right? This is the thing about Islam,
00:16:05.260
the uniqueness of Islam, right? I know that you're going to talk about it now, isn't it? That's why you're
00:16:08.300
looking at it. So the uniqueness of it, I can read you, you know? So what, but the uniqueness of Islam is this,
00:16:13.260
is that Allah forgives someone's past. This is something important, but this is, this is also a lesson for people,
00:16:17.980
is the internet is always, always there, always there. And people are always going to keep haunting
00:16:21.980
you for that. But the truth is you have matured a lot, honestly. And, and people can look at your
00:16:26.140
videos. They can look at your behavior, even three years back, four years back, right? Now you're
00:16:29.740
talking about people, uh, ignoring you and stuff like that. I've noticed as well, I've seen that
00:16:34.220
clip that you talk about, probably talking about speed and that. No, it's not just that it's everything.
00:16:39.100
I mean, uh, that's a, that's a good example, but there's, it's, that's happened maybe three,
00:16:43.100
four times in the past couple of weeks, that exact, uh, scenario.
00:16:47.340
Yeah. So I was, I was going to like, uh, talk about these two specifically is because like speed,
00:16:52.140
for example, he came to the DAW table is a funny interaction. I didn't even know who he was,
00:16:56.380
right? But he came to the DAW table one time, we had a very quick conversation with him. Right.
00:17:00.300
But I've kind of noticed what kind of his, what kind of a person he is, what his fan base is.
00:17:05.100
I think these people, like people who are on, on the level of these type of streamers,
00:17:09.500
they have like a sort of a, a belief that they are some worthy of worship in a specific way,
00:17:14.140
right? If someone were to prostrate to them in the street, it would not really affect them that
00:17:17.900
much. It's something that would be normal for them that someone literally would do so you,
00:17:21.100
they'll prostrate to you and you're working, right? I think these people think they are on a
00:17:24.620
level in which you are not on that same level. I'll tell you, I'm telling you honestly,
00:17:27.820
a hundred percent. And I think you are trying in a way also to be a part of that group
00:17:32.940
or that, or that these, this league, let's put it, the elite, the elite league, right?
00:17:37.980
In the social media kind of, or streaming kind of what, right? And I don't think they see you as
00:17:41.980
one of them. And I think that is the main reason why they would not interact to you in that specific
00:17:46.060
time, right? Because, okay, you're not one of us and don't, don't act as if you're one of us in a
00:17:50.060
way. And look, I've had this experience before, right? And this is not, you can imagine even in the
00:17:54.300
DAW kind of setting before I like was doing things online and this and that, there are people in the DAW
00:17:58.620
who might believe they're better than other people, right? They would not say it, but it is
00:18:02.620
their behavior. Like for example, this person is not going to come to us with us in this specific
00:18:06.140
dinner, right? Why, who are you? If you're speaking in a group chat, for example, and you mentioned
00:18:10.380
something towards that individual, he would respond by, who are you? Like I've had things like this,
00:18:14.620
right? So there are sometimes people because of quote unquote, what they think they've achieved in
00:18:18.860
life. They think they genuinely think they are on a better level than you are.
00:18:22.220
They think that they are, they should be worshiped.
00:18:24.220
Exactly. And they think they're better than you. So why are you trying to, it's like you're trying
00:18:28.620
to stick yourself or trying, you know, to hold my leg where you look, where, who are you? You're
00:18:33.100
just a peasant, you know, in a way, in a specific, in a way, these people look at you that way. It's
00:18:36.940
honestly, they do, right? So, and now like when the person reaches, my advice is to ignore these
00:18:42.860
people and work on yourself, right? This is why I did, I didn't even care about what these people did.
00:18:46.860
Now you've got these people, the same people that I'm referring to. They send me messages,
00:18:50.940
like, come on my stream, come on my podcast, do this, do that. Because these people, they've
00:18:54.940
see you now, you've, they've become irrelevant in a way and you've surpassed them in that which
00:18:59.660
they themselves do. So I think the best statement to make is to focus on yourself and to improve
00:19:05.180
yourself and reach the best levels that you can, right? Because you don't need anyone in reality.
00:19:10.540
Yeah. I see, I see what you're saying. And I agree in a lot of ways, but people keep telling me that it's
00:19:15.980
like, oh, stop looking for these people's validation. You don't need them. And you're right.
00:19:19.740
Like, I don't need anybody, any man's validation. All I need is Allah. But a lot of these people
00:19:24.780
that are doing it, and it's not just one, it's many people, I would say three, four,
00:19:28.220
that I've had that interaction with. And it's people that I've known for years.
00:19:31.020
It's not just like, it's like, it's not like a fan interaction. It's people that I've known
00:19:39.660
Yeah. So there's, there's something else now linked to it as well.
00:19:42.140
So that is the first part that I'm saying, right? That could be some of them.
00:19:45.100
The other part is, is that you are actually a risk for money for that. You're posing a risk.
00:19:51.260
Now you've got a persona now on social media. Like reality is you're canceled. I'm sure people
00:19:56.220
were afraid to perhaps bring you on some of their podcasts on YouTube because you're canceled.
00:20:00.780
And they may have even told you that, that, oh, you know, you're canceled. We're worried
00:20:04.300
about YouTube. We're worried about this. We're worried about that. So I think for them first,
00:20:07.980
because these people also look, okay, they have this God complex. If you want to use that term,
00:20:11.740
whatever term you want to use. And this God complex comes from the fact that they are who
00:20:16.060
they are on social media and they are who they are because of the money that comes in because of the,
00:20:20.540
all of this content that they're producing. So if you pose a risk to whatever gives them the source
00:20:25.580
of their ego. So whatever literally gives them the God complex, of course, they're not going to want
00:20:29.660
to associate with you. Right? So if you, if I, if me bringing you on my stream is going to be equal
00:20:35.500
to me being like looked at as whatever it is, whether that people who label you with the red pill and all
00:20:40.540
of them and you're being like a misogynist and women hated all of these things, or the people
00:20:45.340
who view you as someone who's just speaks about, you know, controversial issues to do with like
00:20:49.180
vaccines and this or that, or people who view you that, you know, you talk about the who runs the
00:20:53.500
world, you know, in quotation marks, right? And all of these different types of things, whichever
00:20:57.820
these type of, these are all problems, right? And these are all things that you've either talked
00:21:01.660
about in the past or you are talking about right now. And, and okay, they would talk to you,
00:21:06.060
they will talk to you in a private level, but when it comes to a public level,
00:21:08.860
Yeah. Privately, they, like they've interacted with me. And then when they see the camera,
00:21:14.060
it's like, it turns out like people that I spoke to literally the day before they see the camera
00:21:17.980
on, they, they act like I, like I don't exist. It's, it's incredible to, um, to see.
00:21:23.980
You are a risk, as I said to you, the people you'll find who will be most welcome and I'm
00:21:28.540
most happy to talk to you publicly are the most first, the most genuine people, number one. And
00:21:33.420
number two, the people who are actually interested in things that you talk about that they themselves
00:21:37.820
also talk about. So I think it's the best types of clients that you should be looking for. People
00:21:42.140
who kind of share the same worldview, same ideas, this and that things, which are beneficial people
00:21:46.460
who are willing. Okay. Look, you're willing to do it. Let's do it. You're not willing to do it.
00:21:49.660
It does not matter. In reality, you bring a lot of benefit. Like you, you don't see your value as
00:21:54.700
well. You've got a lot of benefit. You've got a lot of movement. You've got a lot of people,
00:21:57.740
a lot of people know you, right? Uh, people know who you are. They listen to you. They watch your content.
00:22:02.300
Even if they hate you, maybe they watch you the most, you know, but in reality, they do. Yeah.
00:22:06.140
They do watch your content. So you've got also this kind of, uh, of, uh, of pull. You've got this
00:22:10.780
movement. You've got all of this like persona. You've got these things which are good that I
00:22:15.100
don't think you should, as I was saying, you just focus on yourself, work on yourself more. I think
00:22:19.500
you, you, you do a lot better than what you're doing, but where I see you going right now,
00:22:23.500
because that was your question. It's very good is I think you continuing in that path,
00:22:27.580
but sticking on that path, because it can be very difficult, as you said. Now, when you start doing
00:22:31.740
good, now all the bad comes to you. You don't go to, it comes to you. You know, that's the interesting
00:22:35.660
thing, right? You don't even need to do anything. Like they will, the women will come, the things will
00:22:40.220
come, everything will come, right? And because I'm in a similar position to what I'm telling you,
00:22:43.980
I know how it works, right? You will get the bad coming to you. I'll be like, just average band
00:22:48.860
sitting on the table. You get a crazy woman walking by trying to give you a flower. Like, who are you?
00:22:53.900
I don't even know who you are. I never see you in my life, right? So you've got
00:22:57.420
these things, why the shaitan tries to put these things in front of you. Not only that,
00:23:02.300
but it's also tests from Allah. Do people think they will be left to say we believe
00:23:09.260
and they will not be tested? We've surely tested those who came before them, right?
00:23:13.180
So these are also, this life is a test. You're here, you're here, the reason we are here.
00:23:17.820
Everything is a test. Everything is a test. That's the only way I see it now. Like the hardships
00:23:22.700
that I notice more of them come. Like as I start to progress more and start to do better in life,
00:23:27.980
I notice Allah gives me more tests. And that's how I see all hardships. I don't really, I don't see it
00:23:33.260
as like a, oh, I'm a victim. I just see it like, oh, this is another test that I need to pass.
00:23:37.420
This is another, this is another step that Allah wants me to take.
00:23:41.980
Yeah, this is, look, as long as you look at it this way, but I was also speaking to your manager
00:23:46.940
about that yesterday. It was something very important. We need to understand why you're here.
00:23:50.380
Like what we're doing in this life, right? You need to understand what is your ultimate goal.
00:23:53.820
I, this is a question for me to you right now, right? What is your ultimate purpose right now?
00:23:58.540
What you're trying to achieve as Nico living in this, in this world right now, what you're doing with your
00:24:02.940
life, what are you trying to achieve? What do you think is important?
00:24:05.820
What do I think is important is I think you, it's important to spread truth. If you have a,
00:24:11.180
if you have a platform, it's important to, especially if you have a voice,
00:24:17.180
free speech is the only thing that can crumble tyranny. That's the only thing that could really stop
00:24:23.020
evil in the world is that you need to have people talking about it first. But I think the only way
00:24:26.620
people are able to digest the truth is through comedy. So I think you need to seek truth through
00:24:31.100
funny. That's what, that's what I believe. You're not, people aren't going to be receptive.
00:24:34.220
People are not going to listen. If you were like captivating, if you're not entertaining.
00:24:37.100
So I think that that's a, that's an extremely, and also I noticed that people don't listen to
00:24:40.780
you unless you have any credibility, unless you're, you're out in life doing things. So
00:24:44.780
I think it's extremely important to, to have experiences, to be around different people,
00:24:48.940
to have accomplished something because that adds more weight to what you talk about.
00:24:52.620
But what I think I'm supposed to be doing is, is spreading the, yeah, spreading truth. I think it
00:25:00.620
Yeah. I want to say one thing before I just analyze what you've just said. Before that,
00:25:04.300
I want to mention something about like, prove, you want to prove something, you want to do something,
00:25:08.220
people respect you through doing that. I've noticed like, you've had this, this, like fight
00:25:12.620
with the, with this individual or a spar or whatever it was, this individual called the,
00:25:17.340
showing something, right? Who was, who was a world champion, right? Yeah.
00:25:20.780
For me, from my perspective, I think the, the, the struggle that is valued the most is the
00:25:26.060
struggle with purpose. If the purpose of you going in that ring is for people to respect you,
00:25:31.340
I think you've got a wrong perspective of how people should respect you. Like, for example,
00:25:35.100
I would respect the soldier who lost his arm because of the reason he lost his arm. He was
00:25:39.900
defending his country, defending his family, whatever he was doing.
00:25:42.060
Well, he thinks he was defending his country, but in reality, he's just, he's fighting a war.
00:25:46.060
That's one giant money funneling scheme in order to get oil, or it's a money laundering. It's a
00:25:51.100
proxy war. A lot of soldiers believe that they're doing something good. And I guess that there could
00:25:55.500
be respect there, but that doesn't actually, it doesn't. Yeah. But yeah, I'm not really referring
00:25:59.820
to the U S right. I'm just speaking in general, let's say for a Muslim, I'm really thinking from
00:26:03.260
an Islamic perspective here, right? I can see you looking at it from U S I'm not even in the U S,
00:26:06.460
but I understand what you're saying, right? Like we're saying, for example, a Muslim soldier,
00:26:10.540
right? Who is fighting, like someone who's fighting, you can say right now in Palestine or any
00:26:14.380
place, right? He's fighting for truth, right? So if that person has something that is negative
00:26:18.460
physically, that happens to him, I respect him because of the reasoning that he had behind
00:26:23.820
that struggle that was done. But look, this interaction that you had with this specific
00:26:27.740
individual, he's of course, he's, he's mentally, he's got some mental issues, of course, to behave
00:26:31.900
the way he behaved. But okay. The end result is not good. Like that could have done. And, and
00:26:36.860
you know, imagine who's mentioning, and I hope you're good now.
00:26:39.100
No, I'm fine. I was a little dizzy, but I'm okay. I, I, the reason I accepted that fight was
00:26:44.860
for a couple of, I wanted to just do a content with him and he had a certain perspective on
00:26:50.380
influencers. And especially it goes back to what you were saying about a lot of influencers wanting
00:26:54.140
to be worshiped his point of view. And I think the normal person's point of view, um, even if they
00:26:59.260
might like an influencer is that they, they see through the veil. A lot of influencers want to be
00:27:05.100
worshiped. If somebody prostrates and prays to them, literally they see it as normal.
00:27:09.420
I've actually, I've had that happen. And I tell them, get up. I tell them to not do that. Like
00:27:13.340
that. I think that's extremely disgusting. That's the biggest sin is sure. I'm against that completely.
00:27:17.900
And so I saw his point of view and I think it was, I accepted that for a couple of reasons. One, because
00:27:23.900
you know, that's, that's his, his profession too, because I accept a good challenge. And three,
00:27:28.780
I think it was, it was, it symbolized the, um, the equal level playing field that we need to see
00:27:35.980
that, you know, like we're humans too, just because we have fans or something like that,
00:27:39.500
or like people think we're famous or people might like all the worship, like at the end of the day,
00:27:44.060
when you get in the cage, when you get in the octagon, we're equal, it's just man versus man.
00:27:48.140
There's no, whatever cloud you have is irrelevant. Whatever background you have is irrelevant.
00:27:52.300
You're just there as a man. And you seek, you see if you're going to be able to survive or not.
00:27:56.300
And I think that that would be, it wasn't just for, it wasn't just to get respect so that I could
00:28:00.860
speak more. It was also so that people can understand that, that we're all equal.
00:28:06.060
Yeah. But I want you to think of what you said, right? Analyze what you've said. Like
00:28:09.180
first you've said, you've said what his profession is that, is that a good, like, look, you already
00:28:13.740
know, like, you know, you're good. I hear, I hear how you're responding while I'm saying what I'm
00:28:18.620
saying. Um, yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Yeah, no, no, no. I look at, you know it. So I don't even need to
00:28:23.420
say it, right? Because in the end, look, you can achieve all of these goals in a, in a much better
00:28:27.180
way. Like for me, if, if sneak, for example, if something were to happen to you and you were to
00:28:30.460
actually die, and this is very possible, right? We're not talking about a very hypothetical thing
00:28:34.140
here. The way he dealt with you, you could have died in that ring, right? Now your mission of what
00:28:38.860
you said you want to do, which I asked you about in the beginning, right? Seeking truth of spreading
00:28:42.700
the truth or any of that would have stopped. For what? For, so you can, whatever his profession,
00:28:48.460
whatever like things that you were just saying, right? It is not worth it. And it is not a smart
00:28:53.020
decision to do. It's not a smart decision to take. You've done it already. It's in the past. But what
00:28:56.780
I'm talking now from an analytical point of view is that you could achieve all of these things that
00:29:00.220
you talked about without specifically doing that thing with someone who's got, who's got some mental
00:29:04.140
illness, you know? How he behaves with a normal individual in comparison to someone else in the
00:29:08.060
cage, you know? These are two separate things, right? So there's something maybe to think about,
00:29:11.740
right? Now, when it comes to what you said before about like spreading truth, right? The question is,
00:29:15.420
what is the truth? Like, I think what you're missing in your brand is the following is,
00:29:18.780
is what is the ultimate truth? The ultimate truth is not to say who's running the world,
00:29:23.180
right? Who's not running the world. Like, for example, you talk about 9-11 and these type of
00:29:26.060
things. Who did 9-11, this and that? Okay, why did they do 9-11? What is the reason,
00:29:30.700
the real reason they did 9-11? To justify going to war, to get American support in the Middle East
00:29:36.940
in order to support Israel, because a lot of the Muslim countries were starting to get really angry
00:29:41.900
about Israel. So having, getting Americans to, to start to hate Muslims and to try to pinpoint the
00:29:48.220
Muslim as the, as the evil person while, yeah, yeah. So we're reaching it now. So it's, it's a lot
00:29:54.300
more than what you've said, which is political things, which is mostly for the U.S. It's a lot
00:29:57.980
more. There, there is a, an attack on the religion itself, on the truth. If you talk about the truth
00:30:02.940
now, you want to spread the truth and talk about the truth, the ultimate truth is God. It's not the red
00:30:07.180
pill, which we can talk about and tell you my criticisms of it, if you like, which I think is,
00:30:11.260
it's a little contradictory, but we can talk about it in a bit, right? But truth is not the red pill,
00:30:16.140
which they are trying to say it is the truth, right? By giving you the red pill and all of this
00:30:19.420
analogy of the matrix. It's coming from this idea, right? Truth is not the red pill. Truth is not,
00:30:24.140
like, talking about... Yeah, you're right. Truth is God. Truth is God. But when I say, like,
00:30:27.900
who controls the world? I say, because people that serve Satan, people that serve Satan control the
00:30:31.820
world. So I think that that does prove the truth even more. That, and that's why, like,
00:30:37.100
people see the bitterness is because when you see that people that serve evil, people that serve the
00:30:41.980
devil control the world, I think that's an important part to realizing. And that's how I realized that God
00:30:46.540
is real. I was an atheist until I realized that these people are serving, that are doing Shaitan's bidding,
00:30:52.700
and they control the world. And I was like, okay, well, if they are doing that, then God must be real.
00:30:56.940
Yeah, but what I'm saying is this, is I'm saying the ultimate truth being God, in this case, Islam,
00:31:03.340
because God is not just a term that you can follow anything and you can get guidance, right?
00:31:06.940
In this case, we're talking about Islam, right? So if the truth is Islam or specifically guidance
00:31:11.340
coming from God that people should follow, I'm telling you, I'm claiming any truth that you would
00:31:16.300
find in the red pill that you'd find in any of the things that you're talking about would already be
00:31:19.980
found in that guidance. This is my ultimate criticism, right? Every ideology other than Islam,
00:31:24.540
and this is a claim I'm going to make, every ideology other than Islam will be a combination
00:31:28.860
of truth and falsehood. And whatever truth is found in the ideology other than Islam will already be
00:31:35.020
present in Islam. So it would not make any sense for me to follow an ideology that is a mixture of
00:31:40.300
truth and falsehood, like the rebel or other ideologies, and leave that thing which is ultimate
00:31:45.420
perfect truth completely, right? So this is the point that I'm trying to make. So the ultimate truth is
00:31:50.300
what we should actually be thinking about. So if you believe the ultimate truth is Islam, as you say,
00:31:54.220
God, you believe the ultimate truth is Islam, then the ultimate decisions should be for the afterlife,
00:31:59.180
not for Islam. The ultimate decision making should not be like the rebel pushes or any of these
00:32:05.740
ideologies pushes, is that you need to make money in this world. You should make money from an Islamic
00:32:09.820
point of view. You should be the provider for your family. That's something that you should do.
00:32:13.420
But that's not the ultimate end goal. That's not the ultimate end goal, right? So I know you're
00:32:18.220
busy with your chat now thinking what they're saying, right? No, no, no, no. I'm listening.
00:32:21.420
I'm listening. I'm listening. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So I want you to think that way as well for yourself,
00:32:26.220
right? Is that the ultimate end goal is not necessarily making money. It's not in this life.
00:32:31.660
It's that everything in this life is a test and that everything that we do here is in order to get to
00:32:35.900
Jannah. That's the ultimate truth. Yeah, yeah. But how do you get to Jannah, right? We speak about the good
00:32:41.260
deeds that we do in this life, right? So you look at it from this like financial point of view. Like
00:32:45.900
you do things that your bank account increases the money, right? You're getting more money.
00:32:49.500
You count it in the idea, okay? You're increasing in that score. But when you die, where is that money
00:32:54.380
going to go? It goes wherever. You can't take it. No, no. Let's take it one step right now. You, you,
00:33:00.780
you sneak. If you die today, where is your money going to go? It goes to my family. How do you know that?
00:33:06.140
Well, I set up, I set something up. Okay, you've got the way which most people wouldn't do, right?
00:33:10.540
Okay, at least you set up something, right? Okay, your money will go to your family, okay?
00:33:14.460
Most people, if they were to die in the moment that they are living in, the money would probably
00:33:18.300
be taken by the bank. They don't even know where the wealth is going to go. But all of the work
00:33:22.060
that you've done in your life is now, okay, is that money. Now, what is going to come is eternal life.
00:33:27.900
It's literally eternal life. It's a never, never ending life. So what have you, have I prepared?
00:33:32.700
This is the question that I want to ask. What have I prepared? What is the currency that I can use in the
00:33:36.220
afterlife for the everlasting life? That I want to be in a good position in the everlasting life.
00:33:41.980
I think that's something you need. The currency you can use in the afterlife,
00:33:44.380
are you asking me? Is the answer good deeds? Is it doing good things in order to?
00:33:49.740
Yeah, look, the most important thing is no currency will be valid unless you die as a Muslim.
00:33:55.660
That's the first thing that we need to understand. The only, the card that will make you,
00:33:59.340
that you can use for the currency is Islam. No other religion is accepted in the afterlife.
00:34:03.500
That's clear in the Quran. Allah says, whoever seeks a religion other than Islam is not going to be
00:34:09.420
accepted from it. And Allah says in the Quran, the only religion is acceptable in the sight of God
00:34:14.860
is Islam. And anyone watching, Christian, Jew, anything, you're welcome to come to my channel,
00:34:18.460
watch my discussions with Christians, with Jews, and you will watch your religion crumble.
00:34:22.140
I'm saying this with all the respect, right? But just about this.
00:34:25.340
Now they're going to start debating in the chest. I like to, I like to, what I've been thinking a lot
00:34:30.940
recently. I like to dial it back in because I'm not a Muslim scholar. I think it's better that
00:34:35.820
people have religion than have nothing. And so I think it's, it's, it's much better that people
00:34:40.060
are Christians, Jews, Hindus, uh, than, than being nothing because they're, they're, they're at least
00:34:44.860
a step closer than most people. So I think it's good. Yeah. As long as they, as long as they do something.
00:34:50.540
A Christian or a Jew is better than, than atheists from Islamic perspective. And the Quran talks,
00:34:54.220
calls them the people of the book. And Allah says the Christians are the closest people to the Muslims.
00:34:58.300
These are all facts, right? But also we, we, we don't want to water down things too much to make
00:35:03.820
people assume and think that, okay, you're fine as a Christian for the afterlife. You are, look at
00:35:09.180
me saying that you're better than an atheist. Hindus are like the atheist for us from a snap point of
00:35:13.100
view, right? Yeah. So we, we saying that you're okay as a Christian gives them this false belief
00:35:19.820
that it's okay for me to die in that state. No. Okay. You're better than an atheist. That does not mean
00:35:23.900
that you're safe for the afterlife, right? You need to revise, to look into things. Okay.
00:35:27.580
People are laymen. I don't believe they should be debating, debating these issues in your comment
00:35:30.940
section. This is, that doesn't go anywhere most of the time, right? Uh, the people need to study
00:35:34.940
for themselves. They need to do research themselves, right? I'm not necessarily trying to convince you.
00:35:38.460
You've done your own research, right? And the other person has done his own research. What I'm
00:35:41.740
asking everyone watching is to do the research. It's not necessarily to accept what I'm saying.
00:35:45.740
In my experience, they don't do the research. Instead, they just keep debating and they go on endless
00:35:49.740
debates nonstop. So I kind of see it as a, as a, from my point of view, I'm not saying what you do
00:35:54.300
is a waste, but I see it as kind of counterintuitive because when you try to say something like that,
00:36:00.220
they just, they build more defensive blocks and they'll just keep debating nonstop. Like things
00:36:06.140
that, that I've never seen debated correctly, like the Trinity, like people will just find any sort of
00:36:11.020
like weird justification. And I think it's better to just to leave it. Um, but that's my point of view.
00:36:17.420
Remember what we said in the beginning, there's a difference between dawah and debate. Like if,
00:36:22.220
if people watch my content, they will understand the difference between the two. So for example,
00:36:25.740
there are people, as you said, who are putting up a shield, who are not really interested in the truth
00:36:28.540
to begin with. Those people I don't engage with. I engage with people who are actually, what I was
00:36:32.540
telling you, people are actually doing the research, right? So they would ask questions and I would give
00:36:35.740
them responses. This is how my interaction is usually with people. It's friendly, it's respectful.
00:36:40.460
I do not curse anyone. I just do not speak bad about anyone. I've been doing this for years. I've not had any
00:36:44.780
negative encounters with anyone, right? And I don't plan on doing so in the future. So what I'm saying
00:36:50.460
is the people, as the Bible says, seek the truth and the truth shall set you free. So you should follow
00:36:54.860
your Bible and seek the truth, right? And it says, come, let us reason together. So we come together
00:36:58.540
in reasoning and through reasoning, we'll reach the truth, right? This is what people, what I'm recommending
00:37:02.860
them do from their own scripture, you know, other than that, I'm not recommending anything else, right?
00:37:06.540
Okay, but let's dial back and come back as well. The idea of free speech, because I would disagree with you on
00:37:10.540
that as well. Like, I do not believe ultimate free speech is a good, is a good thing. And I think
00:37:15.020
Twitter today is a perfect example of that. Okay. Now, even though it's not becoming absolute free
00:37:21.900
speech anymore, because Elon has turned into the, you know, the side of the Cyrus and this and that,
00:37:27.340
right? But okay. But anyways, I, why I say it's bad because now you will find literally the most vile,
00:37:34.220
disrespectful individuals on this planet, on, on that platform. Like you can compare your posts on,
00:37:40.380
on Twitter, to your posts on any other platform, any other social media platform and look at the
00:37:46.060
comment section, look how people behave, look how people speak, look at their wording,
00:37:49.260
their understanding. So we talking about the truth, as I was telling you, there is a way of conveying
00:37:53.100
the truth to people. Absolute freedom of speech is not necessarily a good thing. A good level of
00:37:57.900
freedom of speech is accepted, right? We're talking about freedom of speech, but that's why absolute
00:38:01.260
freedom of speech does not exist anywhere in the world. Tell me at any point in history where absolute
00:38:05.100
freedom of speech ever existed. It hasn't. And it will, it never will, because there has to always
00:38:12.220
be limits and boundaries. And that's what makes Islam, we don't have this idea of absolute freedom
00:38:17.260
of speech. If it was as good as people claim it is, it would have done good for the world. Like,
00:38:21.900
I'll give you an example. I was in a country, I'm not going to mention the country, but I was in that
00:38:25.020
country. There was a leader, the leader was there for a few years, this and that, right? People started
00:38:29.340
revolting against the country, right? Then the leader was removed. Then what did they do? A new leader was
00:38:34.780
elected. They started complaining about him revolting again. Then they removed him. Then
00:38:38.380
another leader came. They started doing the same thing. They revolting against the individual,
00:38:41.980
but the individual didn't let them. He sent the army and then no one is able now to speak
00:38:46.140
anymore. And now he's in power. And situation is far worse than it used to be in the past.
00:38:50.620
So this idea of absolute, okay, let everyone speak. A lot of people are ignorant. A lot of people
00:38:54.620
don't know what they're talking about. They should not have an opinion on matters which are not
00:38:58.620
their specialty. That's why I disagree with this stupid idea of democracy and voting as well. Like,
00:39:03.020
anyone should vote. Why should anyone vote? You want complete Sharia law?
00:39:07.820
As a Muslim, do you know what the word Sharia means? There's a question for you. Islamic law.
00:39:12.700
No, Sharia means pathway in the Arabic language, right? But it's used for pathway to water.
00:39:17.660
Sharia is pathway to God. What I'm doing with you right now, it is literally pathway to God.
00:39:23.420
This is Sharia right now? Yeah, yeah. So we're speaking to people about religion,
00:39:27.740
about Islam. That's a part of the Sharia. So that's a negative misconception that people have.
00:39:32.300
So what's the difference between Sharia? And I don't have a negative misconception,
00:39:34.620
but what's the difference between Sharia? Not you, but the people.
00:39:36.540
Right. What's the difference between Sharia and Dawah?
00:39:39.420
Sharia and Dawah. So Dawah is part of the Sharia. Sharia is the whole religion, right? All of the
00:39:43.260
commands in the Quran and Sunnah and Islam, anything good they tell you to do or to avoid,
00:39:46.860
is considered Sharia from Islamic point of view. But how the media uses it is Hudud, which is punitive
00:39:51.500
laws, right? This is how they use it. When they say Sharia law, they're referring to specifically
00:39:55.500
punitive laws, right? Laws to do with like stealing, raping, or murder, all of these other laws,
00:40:00.620
right? This is what they refer to, which has a term in Islam called Hudud. Sharia is a more holistic
00:40:05.580
thing. But now you're asking me, let me rephrase your question to you. Do you want God's law? Yes,
00:40:11.260
of course I want God's law. I'm just rephrasing your question to you, because whose law is that Sharia?
00:40:18.780
Whose law is it? It's God's law. I understand your point. So I get a lot of these people in my chat,
00:40:24.860
they say that democracy is gay and they want Taliban rule. Do you think that that would be
00:40:29.340
a better world? Well, I have criticism of the Taliban, right? They're not doing things from
00:40:35.820
a Sharia perspective as well. Right. But would that be a better alternative to democracy,
00:40:39.180
just having Taliban rule? Honestly, I do not know as much about them to give,
00:40:43.580
but they are different. They're better than the US. There is no doubt about that. Absolutely,
00:40:47.740
they're better than you. Look how the US is now. You cannot even walk in the street with your
00:40:53.420
positions now. You cannot even keep your car locked without your stuff being stolen from it.
00:40:58.540
The people will steal things up to $1,000 in stores and they will not get punished off it.
00:41:02.780
People are jumping from the borders every day, entering illegally in the country without any
00:41:07.100
papers. And then everything is a mess in the US. Shootings, everyone has weapons, everyone shooting
00:41:11.820
each other. Tell me what is good about the law, the man-made laws that the US have invented or put.
00:41:17.580
Look at a very funny law I'll talk about, which is a bit controversial. I know you chat like
00:41:21.740
controversial stuff, right? So, a funny law to talk about, for example, is the law of marriage,
00:41:26.780
right? The age of marriage. Look at the states in the US. This is now something I'm telling people
00:41:32.300
to do. Just Google this. Every single state has a different law when it comes to...
00:41:36.700
Yeah. And not only the age of consent, but with the parent permission. What age is that also is
00:41:43.100
different for every state. So, the country itself cannot agree with itself or what is right or what
00:41:47.900
is wrong. Let alone talk to other people about what you should or shouldn't do. Every state has
00:41:52.060
different laws when it comes to gun laws, abortion laws. The state is a mess. If you're asking me,
00:41:56.860
the truth is the state is not a unity in any way, shape or form. I view the state as every single state
00:42:02.860
as its own country in a way. It's on a very small, a very small country that runs by itself. So, yeah.
00:42:08.380
Okay. You give me a better alternative to the God's law. Whatever you want to call it. Sharia,
00:42:13.660
you want to call it whatever you want to call it. Give me a better alternative that will
00:42:16.620
function in a better way that will give society prosperity, happiness and safety and all of these
00:42:21.900
different things. Give me an example. It doesn't exist. Yeah. So, why are you asking me then?
00:42:28.220
Of course, I need Sharia law, right? If Sharia law is God's law. And look, this is what I was telling you.
00:42:33.580
Anything that you would bring in ideology and you're welcome to present any ideology that you
00:42:37.260
present. The good things in this ideology will already be present in Islam. And the bad things
00:42:41.420
in this ideology, Islam will not have it because Islam only has good, because it's divine law coming
00:42:46.460
from the creator. And that's why, look, because I talked about the ripple before, like you've got
00:42:51.900
feminism, for example, which is a horrible, terrible ideology, first wave, second wave, third wave, all
00:42:55.980
of this nonsense, right? It had some reason, some reasoning behind it in the beginning, right?
00:43:00.380
Of how women were being treated this and that in the beginning. But it turned into this idea of hating man
00:43:05.820
of women, just if you get naked, you're free somehow. I do not know if you take your,
00:43:10.540
if I take my clothes off now, I'm becoming free somehow. So, this has become the ideology of
00:43:14.620
feminism, right? Masculine women that hate the opposite gender, that believe they should become
00:43:19.260
men in a specific way. This is the ideology. Now, the exact opposite of the ideology is the red pill.
00:43:27.020
The red pill, in my view... It's a reaction to feminism. It's male feminism.
00:43:30.700
Yeah, but how do the people in the red pill treat you, for example? Like, I believe in the past,
00:43:35.180
because you talked about your trajectory, before in the past, you were not the same view about the
00:43:39.500
red pill as you are today. You're in a bit different now to do with what they think about
00:43:44.060
what they say. Like, you can speak about that more instead of me speaking about it on your...
00:43:47.580
Yeah, it's a reaction to feminism, and I think it stems from a place of anger. I think it's,
00:43:53.340
it's like putting a band-aid over a wound instead of letting it heal. I think it's not,
00:43:57.580
it's not, it's not realistic, and it's, it's of this world. You know, it's, it's against,
00:44:03.820
it's anti-Islam. It's, it goes against, goes against what God wants of us, because people
00:44:09.500
are angry about what happens today. And I think it leads men down a trap, and it's like a coping
00:44:15.020
mechanism. I don't like it. I don't like it. I mean, obviously, there's a lot of good things
00:44:18.220
about it. It's better than feminism, but it's a temporary solution to a permanent problem.
00:44:23.580
And that's the thing. Anything that you find good in the red pill, and we can talk about it,
00:44:29.340
because I do agree that there's a lot of good things that they speak about, realistic things,
00:44:32.940
correct things that they speak about. And my claim is anything that is good will already
00:44:37.100
be found in Islam. Otherwise, it would not even be good to begin with. But my problem with the
00:44:41.020
red pill is this, is like, it teaches you how to deal with the wrong type of women.
00:44:45.020
The red pill, this is, this is what makes the whole ideology crumble for me.
00:44:48.940
The red pill only teaches you how to deal with the bad type of women.
00:44:51.980
Right. It doesn't tell you how to deal with good women.
00:44:54.300
No, no. And if you deal with the good type of men, women, the same way you deal with the bad
00:44:59.180
type of women, done. This woman is not going to stay with you. She's not used, she's not already
00:45:03.660
corrupt with a baggage of trauma being abused and used and all of this nonsense in which you have
00:45:09.340
It's designed to deal with women that are addicted to social media, to celebrities that have all these bodies,
00:45:15.820
blah, blah, blah, that your sex workers, bartenders, like that's what it teaches you to deal with,
00:45:20.540
you know, to women who are in the club all the time.
00:45:25.100
Because I'll tell you why it sets you up for failure. The self,
00:45:27.660
the other self-contradiction is that it teaches you to see good women.
00:45:30.620
So when it teaches you to marry good women, and then it teaches you
00:45:34.620
all the ideologies of how to behave with the bad woman, you can never succeed. You can never
00:45:39.340
work a good relationship with a good woman because you've already lived all your life
00:45:42.540
dealing with the bad type of women. People in the Red Pill believe that there are no good women
00:45:47.180
in the West. Like that's why it exists because like all women are broken.
00:45:52.300
This is the other family side of it. This is why we say it's the other coin of feminism, right?
00:45:56.780
So as they hate the men, now the people of the Red Pill, most of them, right, they would hate the
00:46:01.740
women. They wouldn't claim that they do, but they do. They would say, oh, they would go to the
00:46:05.900
definitions, what do you mean by misogyny? I don't hate women actually define the world, all of this
00:46:10.380
like game play, but they actually look at women as inferior. Like if you, if you say for example,
00:46:15.420
women are not a intelligent, intelligence for women is not important. I think that's very stupid
00:46:21.180
to say. I want my wife to teach my children. Who's going to teach my children when I'm outside?
00:46:26.540
Like if you're working, if you're working, let's say you're working and you are a provider,
00:46:29.740
you provide for your family. Don't you want your women to raise your kid the right way? If she's...
00:46:34.860
Especially when they have transgender people teaching the schools and kindergartens,
00:46:38.380
or like, then you would not want... Yeah, no, I don't want a dumb wife at all. Actually,
00:46:42.860
that's the number one thing that I disagree with. Like, oh, I just want like a stupid girl to cook
00:46:46.780
and no, like intelligence is very attractive and a very important quality for a wife and mother.
00:46:53.020
And I would enjoy conversations with a woman that has a level of intelligence. I don't want
00:46:56.700
just someone that I speak to who doesn't understand a word of what I'm saying, just completely stupid
00:47:00.700
and dumb and doesn't understand. The important thing is how her body looks, blah, blah, blah,
00:47:04.060
one of these things. These things don't last. No. It literally don't last. Okay, you would know this
00:47:08.380
a lot more, right? You would know that the looks of a woman, okay, is there in the beginning. It
00:47:13.020
never lasts. And my problem with them is they use religion when they like. Like, oh, Islam says four
00:47:18.060
wives. It's the only thing they are from Islam, you know? The only part from Islam for them is the idea
00:47:23.100
of marrying more than one woman, right? But in the same time, they would claim they believe in God,
00:47:28.540
but they would say to you, our rules are better than God's rules. Like they would say religion,
00:47:33.820
they would, they would shame you. They would do the same tactics as, as they do with the feminists
00:47:37.500
or they claim the feminists do to them. They would shame you, call you trad, colon, all of these terms,
00:47:40.940
right? This is a shaming tactic. Why don't you deal with the, with what I'm talking about? Rather
00:47:44.540
than using a shaming tactic, like it's just the calling of misogynist, you're doing the same thing,
00:47:48.540
but the opposite spectrum, right? So they use religion when it suits them and they don't use it when it
00:47:52.940
suits them. If it is from God, then God knows more than you and all of your red bell and all your God
00:47:57.500
fathers of this and that were just born from a womb and, and they are deficient as you are. God
00:48:02.220
knows a lot more, right? And also the other contradiction is it tells you to, to have intercourse with
00:48:07.580
as much women, as many women as you can. At the same time, it tells you to seek, yeah, it tells you
00:48:11.740
to seek the women that have low body counts. Where are you going to find these? If everyone who follows
00:48:16.540
this ideology, like, and he goes and has intercourse with every single woman out there, where are you going
00:48:21.020
to find these women that you're talking about? That's why these struggle in the US living in the US, right?
00:48:24.300
Because this is the case, like people are having intercourse with a limited amount of women and
00:48:28.700
they lie and they claim it does not influence you as a man. It does. It does influence you as a man
00:48:33.980
because we are very visual as human beings. And when you were used to have intercourse with multiple
00:48:38.140
different people, then that you desire that more than someone who's not had a past of doing that same
00:48:42.860
thing. They're more, a lot more likely to remain in monogamous relationship with their partner because
00:48:47.980
they've not had that history, right? And look, another contradiction, and I'm going to end with
00:48:52.780
that because I think it's full contradiction. I'm giving you the reasons why, right? But for
00:48:57.100
example, the funny thing is they will try to use women's opinion when it suits them. So they will
00:49:01.500
ask women questions. And when they give answers they like, they will, oh, that's good, that's good.
00:49:07.980
Women don't know what they're talking about. Women are emotional.
00:49:10.220
They don't know how to think. They don't say the same thing.
00:49:12.140
You can't trust women. Women always lie. They don't. Yeah, you're completely right.
00:49:16.300
Yeah. So they pick and choose in the opinion. Okay. If you think these women are less than you
00:49:21.660
and you think these women are not intelligent, then you asking them questions and then
00:49:26.620
following their answers when they say them is contradicting what you were just telling us
00:49:29.980
five minutes ago, right? So the ideology, look, it's crumbling from all of these aspects. It has a
00:49:33.820
lot of problems, but of course it talks about about good things. Now we talked about the bad things.
00:49:37.420
There are good things. For example, it tells you to be a strong masculine individual, right? You have
00:49:41.580
to be a strong man, a strong masculine individual. You have to provide, take care of your family. It
00:49:45.100
teaches you that you have to be aware of certain behaviors of certain women, right? It teaches you
00:49:49.420
about their mentality as well, a bit about their psychology. But all of these things are in Islam.
00:49:54.220
And that's the point I'm making is like, give me something that is not already there. Okay. I'm
00:49:57.660
going to say, okay, I like your ideology. Where is the truth that is there that is not in Islam?
00:50:01.100
Some have already told me anything you can or you would tell me, right? And that is not the case with any
00:50:05.900
other religion. You're not going to find these things that I'm telling you right now in Christianity.
00:50:09.100
You're not going to find them in other religions and you'll only find them in Islam.
00:50:14.060
So, so yeah, these type of, look, any ideology, this is now seeking truth. Well, if you seek in
00:50:19.100
truth, then the truth is the only one. And you doing your research will only lead you to that same
00:50:24.220
source. There is no other sources, right? Any ideology that the people want to pick up and look,
00:50:28.540
they have a lot of conspiracy. Like let's not call, it's not conspiracies, but they use that term to make the
00:50:33.100
people stay away from truth or avoid like researching certain issues. It's just like
00:50:37.340
they did with 9-11 and all of that, right? But the thing is they did 9-11. You now being the person
00:50:43.100
who's seeking all of these conspiracies and you think this is the end goal, you should think about
00:50:47.340
what is their goal of targeting Islam? Why is the media talking about Islam? If you're saying the media
00:50:51.100
is bought and sold by the specific group that runs the world, why is it day and night whenever something
00:50:55.020
happens, Muslim done this, Muslim done this, Muslim. If he has an uncle of a nephew of a son of a
00:50:59.020
grandfather who was a Muslim and he never followed Islam in his life, they will still put a Muslim did
00:51:02.620
this, this and that. So they can give you a bad negative view of what Islam does. And look, the
00:51:07.020
people in chat, they would call other people bots, for example, or robots or this or that. But they are
00:51:11.340
the same when it comes to Islam. Most of their comments about Islam and this is the same robotic
00:51:15.900
things that every other single person says, that the media says, that the social media says,
00:51:20.060
that everyone says about Islam. Their critiques of Islam is not a critique of someone who actually read the
00:51:24.780
scripture. Yeah, I know. The critiques are mostly, I consider them funny. I think a lot of them,
00:51:28.780
their critiques are mostly just trolls. People say like, oh, uh, they call me, uh, they'd say you
00:51:32.780
sleep with goats, like you're, you like to, to sleep with camels, stuff like that. I just think it's
00:51:37.420
funny. I don't really, you know, it's, it's a, it's like, I'm an Arab, for example, right? This is
00:51:41.500
something you will never see. So you, the only time we heard about these things is that people
00:51:47.340
saying them online, you know, this shows the robotic mentality of these people, right? Because this is like
00:51:51.500
so far away, away from reality of people is that you cannot be a motor robot than this to say these
00:51:57.900
claims against Islam or to have these criticisms, right? At least up your game a little bit. Like
00:52:02.060
when we criticize the Bible, for example, when I criticize the Bible, I talk about textual
00:52:05.820
criticism. I quote about textual criticism. I quote textual criticism scholars. I talk about
00:52:10.140
manuscripts. I talk about contradictions within the Bible, right? I talk about differences within
00:52:13.980
the manuscripts. I talk about the identity of Jesus in the scripture. Why cannot, why can't you do the
00:52:18.300
same thing and try to critique the religion for, from its foundations rather than being like,
00:52:22.380
uh, another robot? We should say. Well, I guess people, people are afraid to, you know,
00:52:27.340
what I think it really stems from. And I noticed this from, you know, I've had Christians that ran away
00:52:32.220
from, from debates or conversations that, you know, Christians that celebrate Hanukkah. Uh, and they
00:52:37.260
were, I think, I think a lot of Christians and, um, and Jews. I think I know what you're talking about.
00:52:42.860
It's okay. You know, they'll, they'll come around, but I think a lot of people are afraid to actually
00:52:47.500
look at the Quran because they're afraid that they're going to change. I think they're afraid
00:52:52.220
of that. They're going to change their mind. I think I noticed a lot of Muslims are like willing
00:52:56.140
to learn. And in the Quran, it's important to like understand the other religions. But I think a lot of
00:52:59.980
people who aren't Muslim, they're afraid to look at it because they don't want to change their point
00:53:03.660
of view. They're kind of stuck in their belief system. And I think it's, I don't see it worth like
00:53:08.700
trying to convince those people because eventually they'll come around. And I think it's a, it's a
00:53:13.020
personal thing. I mean, that's what it was for me. It was like a personal journey because I had that
00:53:17.340
for a long time where I was afraid to, I, when I first read the Malcolm X autobiography, I had this
00:53:22.700
inclination to, to become a Muslim, but I didn't want to fully dive in. Cause I didn't want to like
00:53:27.420
change my whole way of life and everything I was doing. And it'd be too much of a change. So I think
00:53:31.900
people are afraid to actually look at the scripture, uh, because they'd rather say something like,
00:53:36.460
Oh, you sleep with goats to kind of, to cut, to box it away rather than look at it.
00:53:43.180
Yeah. You know, you know, look, I've seen the, in some interactions with you and
00:53:49.580
He's my friend, he's a good guy. He's a really good guy.
00:53:52.540
What I saw in that discussion, it was, it was a, it was a debate about having the debate.
00:53:56.300
And it was like, okay, what, what's the point of this, the whole long one hour discussion on a
00:54:00.300
debate of trying to have any debate you, what you can read from his body language from the first
00:54:05.500
five minutes. If I speak to him, he was being defensive. He was being emotional. He did not
00:54:10.220
want to speak. Like for example, he, he was telling you, you, uh, we're not going to speak
00:54:14.940
about religion. We don't want to talk. So he was just in a way, forcing that specific thing on him
00:54:18.460
in a situation that he does not want to be. And it is definitely not the right time and not the right
00:54:22.140
way to do it in that specific way. But what I'm saying is this, it is important to speak about truth.
00:54:26.460
Like who is better than, who is the best humans to talk the earth are the prophets of God.
00:54:30.220
Yeah. Their mission was to speak to people, right? The mission was to tell the people about God. The
00:54:35.420
mission was to tell the people about the truth. They did not say, let the people come to us as
00:54:39.020
you're saying in a specific way. The problem is doing it in the wrong way, doing it to someone who
00:54:43.420
does not receptive of it. And we just mentioned an example, someone who's not receptive. He's not
00:54:46.780
in the mental state of having it. He's not receptive to the, to it right now. He's already like,
00:54:50.540
he feels like he held onto something and you, you're taking it away from him, right? So that is this
00:54:55.020
defensive mode is coming from that. He just held onto Christianity and you're trying to take it away from him.
00:54:58.780
Like it's not going to happen. Let's just give him some time to rethink and this and that. And when
00:55:03.020
he wants to do it, then you have a discussion with him, right? So the thing is, I think it's about
00:55:06.620
doing it the right way. I think it's about doing it the right way, engaging with the people in the
00:55:10.620
right way. There's a lot of people who seek the truth and a lot of people will come to you,
00:55:13.500
but you speaking about the truth is enough. It doesn't have to be a specific individual,
00:55:16.700
like what you do in your platform, right? Speaking about the truth and people will watch,
00:55:20.060
people will listen, people will learn, you know? Right. Do you have any other,
00:55:24.380
um, I think you have a good psychoanalysis. And one thing I noticed in this conversation,
00:55:30.140
when I, when you made me like answer about my decision and stuff like that, I could hear
00:55:34.940
like some of the flaws in my way of thinking while I was saying it, because you are, you're
00:55:38.620
analyzing it from purely, uh, Islamic point of view. Um, and I, I could tell you're somebody
00:55:43.980
who's on his Dean and does, you know, you, you definitely do a good job. I like your videos,
00:55:48.060
but do you, do you have any more advice or what do you think that I can improve on? It'd be,
00:55:53.100
because I'm noticing more tests than ever right now. I've never, I've never dealt with, uh, this
00:55:58.300
level of, uh, of tests. Well, I think it's, it depends on what you want to achieve in the future,
00:56:05.500
as I said, right? If you think, if you look at yourself right now, which I kind of see you
00:56:09.100
were trying to do in these few years, you're trying to kind of build a specific, like materialistic
00:56:13.100
financial thing. So in the future you can do whatever you like to do, or you want to do something
00:56:16.620
different. Maybe this is where I see you mentally. It's all depends on what you want to do, right?
00:56:20.780
If my goal is the afterlife, then there is like a big decision to take, right? Changing in what I'm
00:56:25.340
doing, changing my audience and this and that, and that can cost a lot, right? Like something like
00:56:29.100
the Gideon there, there's something that I don't think anyone will do, right? And I think you should
00:56:33.340
only do if you are a hundred percent positive that this is the truth, that I'm doing this for the right
00:56:37.900
way. And I don't think he was because he's just learning about his religion now, and he already made
00:56:41.500
that decision to leave everything and this and that, right? So there, it all depends on what you, you
00:56:46.060
want to do in life, right? You got, you have to make that decision for yourself. Do I want to
00:56:49.980
build for the afterlife, the currency that is going to benefit me when I die? Or do I want right now,
00:56:54.220
because I'm in the streaming field, this is how I built my career. This is what I'm doing on a day
00:56:57.900
to day basis. I'm going to try to stick to that and wiggle my way around of putting Islam in a way
00:57:03.260
within that community, within the mess that is taking place in the way that I try to do. So it all
00:57:07.820
depends on what you're trying to do, right? But my most important advice is stop asking the wrong people
00:57:12.380
about Islam. Like you cannot ask people like this person from Fresh and Faith or other people from
00:57:17.820
like Salim or these individuals who are not in the religion themselves. They're not practicing Islam
00:57:24.540
and they're not really familiar with the rules of Islam. So when you ask them sometimes questions
00:57:27.740
about it, I think most of the time they will give you answers that are incorrect and you would think
00:57:31.100
that they are saying the truth. So that's the first thing. And you're also waiting for them in a way
00:57:35.260
to encourage you to practice while they themselves they don't want to practice, right? So I think you should
00:57:39.180
offline. It doesn't have to be online. Offline surround you with people who are actually
00:57:43.420
practicing Islam. People who encourage you, who go to you with the mosque, not going alone,
00:57:47.020
because you need company. It's very few that there's almost no Muslims around. Like in Miami,
00:57:51.660
there's none. I mean, I just came from the Majid. I recognize the same people for Jumaat prayer every
00:57:55.420
week and we're not in the same field. I'm not around any Muslims. There's no one here. Even there,
00:58:00.300
I was just like after I left Jumaat prayer, I was walking around in my thobe. People were giving me weird looks.
00:58:04.220
Like it's very, because everybody's dressed up to like go to, go to the gym. Women are have crop
00:58:08.700
tops. They have their breasts here. They're like, their butts are out. And it's like, I'm here with
00:58:12.620
the thobe. What's the guy doing here? Yeah. I forget that I have it on. You know, it's just,
00:58:16.380
I'm very comfortable wearing this, but there's not a lot of people around it. And also the reason that
00:58:20.300
I ask like people that grew up with Islam, like Fusi or Salim or Neon, these people, they grew up with
00:58:25.180
Islam. So, and I'm a revert. So they do know more than I do. But at the same time, like,
00:58:30.780
um, sometimes I noticed, I remember there was a moment where Salim, we were, we were golfing
00:58:36.460
and he was drinking on the stream. Uh, and I remember he was asking me like, are you a real
00:58:40.540
Muslim? Are you a real Muslim? He was basically like, it was funny cause he was drunk, but he
00:58:44.940
was criticized basically calling me a fake Muslim because I wasn't perfect. And so I feel when I'm
00:58:50.060
around them and the reason I asked him about it is cause I, I do want to be better. And I, even if
00:58:56.700
they're not perfect, they, they will, they want to see their Muslim brothers do well. And I, I,
00:59:01.580
I get along with them. I think the best. You see, that's the part of my second analysis for you
00:59:07.020
in the beginning, the idea of being nice and always defending people, even though I'm not
00:59:10.060
criticizing them really. Right. I'm not trying to criticize them, but you would mention good.
00:59:13.420
You would mention good of the people when someone talks about them, which is a good character,
00:59:17.020
right? It's a good Islamic character as well. And I think it's a good, it's a praiseworthy character.
00:59:21.340
I'm not criticizing them, but this is the thing you growing up with Islam means nothing. If, if
00:59:26.140
you did not practice it and left it and this and that, that means zero, nothing. The companions
00:59:30.460
of the prophet who we imitate and follow after the prophet are all of them people who accepted
00:59:34.460
this stuff, right? People who accepted the religion and practice the religion in their life. It's not
00:59:38.300
about accepting or not accepting. It's about the Islam itself teaches you that religion is something
00:59:42.860
that you ask the people who are specialized in these fields. Like for example, when you have a heart
00:59:46.620
operation or you got like, you had some pain or this or that, you're not going to go to one of your
00:59:50.140
friends, you know, and ask him, how do I feel? People treat religion differently somehow for
00:59:55.020
some reason, as if it is not a speciality. It is also a field of specialty that you would require
01:00:00.380
certain people who at least done some sort of studying, investigation, this and that. So
01:00:05.580
when you ask these questions, they actually give you answers and give you reasoning and look at your
01:00:09.100
situation as well. Because sometimes even the answer that you give would be depending on the
01:00:13.500
person's situation. It's not as simple as the Quran says that therefore I'm going to say it to you.
01:00:17.260
So they have to read you in a specific way, see where you are, the type of advice that they give
01:00:21.580
you. So what I'm trying to say is like, even in the Masjid, if you recognize the same people,
01:00:24.860
try to get to know them. What is the problem? Perhaps you can meet them off stream, speak to
01:00:28.780
them. You know, it's funny that there was somebody that I had recognized from the Masjid.
01:00:32.700
I've seen a couple of times and then I, we saw, we were streaming the other day and he was getting
01:00:37.420
canceled for talking to underage girls online. You know, it's like, oh wait, we're 30 minutes into
01:00:44.780
this video. Cause he was going on this website called Omegle. And he's like talking to girls
01:00:50.220
and trying to get them to get naked online. And like, I was like, I know this guy, like I know
01:00:53.980
from the Masjid. But here's the thing, this website that you mentioned, for example,
01:00:58.940
with a practice in Muslim, not just someone who goes to Jum'a because there's a difference
01:01:02.460
between a practice. That's why I'm telling you a good company, right? There's a huge difference
01:01:05.420
between a practice in Muslim and someone who's just goes to Jum'a, right? It goes to Friday prayer,
01:01:09.740
right? So if that individual is just someone who goes to Friday prayer, he's not a good example of
01:01:13.980
what I'm talking about, of a good Muslim that will actually influence you in a good way. Just,
01:01:17.740
there are five daily prayers that allow people to just go to Jum'a. No, there are five daily prayers,
01:01:21.660
right? There are a lot of things that they will encourage you by telling you just information,
01:01:24.620
right? Good things about Islam that you did. I don't mean to bring it up as a bad representation
01:01:28.540
of Islam. I think that a lot of what he was doing was trolling and it was for content.
01:01:31.980
And I think he's going to do better. And I don't think poorly of him. And obviously,
01:01:35.420
I don't think he's a perfect representation of Islam. The people that I do consider like good
01:01:39.340
representation of Islam that are on their deen, a lot of them live in San Diego, or they're
01:01:42.940
constantly traveling. The people that are in my circle that are really on their deen are like
01:01:47.100
people like Warner, like Sheikh Uthman, even Sartoro Shooter. I don't know if you've
01:01:51.100
spoke to him, but he's, he's a revert and he's doing a great job. Like a much respect to him.
01:01:55.580
I know Andrew Tate's on his deen, but he's in Romania. There's not a lot of people. There's
01:02:00.300
just not that many people in Miami and it is what it is. It's going to be hard to find that circle.
01:02:05.980
But what I am looking forward to, you see what you've mentioned, everyone, every single person
01:02:11.020
you mentioned is on social media. Why does the person have to be on social media?
01:02:14.700
Yeah. Because you know, the people that you spend the most time with, they, they end up
01:02:19.260
like, look, I'm so dedicated into work that it's hard to spend time with people that aren't within
01:02:26.060
my work. Like I woke up, I woke up four hours ago. I woke up four hours ago and then I'm streaming.
01:02:31.180
Like this is, all I do is this, is this, I train, like I just go to, I don't have time to really spend
01:02:36.700
time with people that if they're not on the same page, every single waking moment I do, it's been
01:02:40.540
working. I even like, I regret and I'm, I don't get to spend enough time with my family because of what,
01:02:45.740
how much I pour into this. So that's the reason why, like it would, it would be social media people.
01:02:51.420
My question is now, why does it have to be Miami then? Why do you have to stay in Miami is the
01:02:56.380
question. What is it there that it would require you so much from your job aspect that you have
01:03:00.860
to be in that specific? Because I'm a, I'm a content creator at the same time. Like I,
01:03:04.700
and this is what I get it a lot from the Muslims too. They're like people right now in the chat are
01:03:08.140
saying, move to Dubai, move to Dubai. Well, then my job would be harder to do.
01:03:11.180
Does it have to be Dubai? Well, no, actually I plan on getting property in Dubai real soon
01:03:15.580
because you get a 10 year visa and there's a lot of good things as a good place to raise a family.
01:03:19.580
But you're, you're right. I don't think it's the right time. I don't think it's right. Everyone
01:03:22.940
is doing it. The prices are, are inflated a lot. I think maybe thinking about it because right now,
01:03:27.820
I don't think it's the best financial decision to make. This is just my personal advice if you want
01:03:31.660
to do it. I think waiting a little bit, like maybe a couple of years of this or that,
01:03:34.700
and then thinking about it is a lot better. Right. And also there's a lot of good locations,
01:03:38.620
like Abu Dhabi will be very close, not far. I will have a lot of the same facilities,
01:03:42.780
but also there, the prices are inflated. There's a time zone. Then when I stream,
01:03:46.620
like they're not going to be there. So I'm not telling you to do that. There's a difference.
01:03:50.220
I'm saying you should be right now. I think you've got a lot of work you can do in America,
01:03:54.060
but you don't, you're not bound to be in any state because you fly most of the time.
01:03:57.260
And, and most of what you do is in other states, like just specifically recently,
01:04:00.780
I think is in other states. I've been in Las Vegas four times this year, and it's only February.
01:04:04.860
Like I go to LA all the time. I'm constantly traveling, flying.
01:04:07.660
So you're always traveling. So, so you can be anywhere in the U S that you will do the same
01:04:10.860
thing and you will travel. Right. So perhaps maybe finding another location,
01:04:13.740
they're closer to either the people that you mentioned or closer to other good people.
01:04:20.060
Yeah. You're, you're in England. I know, but they always recommend Houston.
01:04:23.580
They, they say that there's like a big Muslim community there. And I think about that,
01:04:26.780
but at the same time, like, and what I was going to say is you pinpointed a good moment
01:04:31.820
in my career where you could tell that I am trying to set myself up financially for the future
01:04:35.020
so I could raise family, but I'm also trying to be on my Dean. And it's a kind of a weird place
01:04:38.860
where in order to make a lot of money in the influencer world, you have to do things and
01:04:42.380
you have to be around Shaytan. So I can't, it's very difficult to be perfect and, you know, appeal to
01:04:48.460
both. So it is what it is. Like, I'm going to, I would see myself staying in Miami for the near future
01:04:54.220
because, because of what I'm doing. Yeah. If you continue to do what you're doing, then,
01:04:58.700
then it does not really make sense to, to, to move. Right. But to still find people is my advice.
01:05:04.060
Try your best to find people because like the individuals I mentioned, for example, you mentioned
01:05:08.300
whoever there's not, I'm not trying to talk bad about them. I don't even know them. Right. But the
01:05:12.780
thing is, they're not going to be the people who are giving you the good Islamic influence. If you're
01:05:15.980
trying to have it offline, right. I'm not talking about online on the streaming, you will do the
01:05:19.340
content online and streaming. Right. This is a different thing, right. If you're separating between the two,
01:05:23.580
but yeah, always, always keep in mind as well. Like what I was telling you from the beginning,
01:05:26.780
like, we're not guaranteed how long we're going to be here. Like I might have my plan, you know,
01:05:30.860
that in the future, like in the next five years, after the next five years, I'm going to be doing
01:05:34.860
this and this and that. I don't even know if tomorrow I'm going to be here to talk to you again
01:05:38.460
or no, you know, you don't even know. Right. But we talk about it. Do we actually understand it? If, if we
01:05:44.940
did actually internalize it, our behavior would reflect it because it's very important. If anyone would say,
01:05:50.060
yeah, death is coming. People talk about it like this. But if you understand it, you will internalize it.
01:05:54.940
What gave me a pivotal point in changing, like from practicing my religion a long time ago,
01:05:59.180
what gave me that pivotal point was that was thinking about death. Right. What do I want to
01:06:02.540
achieve in life? What is it that I want to do? Right. And as I said, we're not saying leave the
01:06:06.140
worldly life, but there is ways to do the worldly life in a halal way. Like Allah, there's a good example
01:06:10.620
in the Quran. Qarun, for example, is an individual who's from the past that Allah told us about. He used to be
01:06:16.060
one of the most, the richest people in the world, right? Allah, when Allah spoke about him, he said
01:06:20.300
that the, that the, the, the treasures that he had, the chests of the treasures, they had keys.
01:06:26.460
Allah says the group of strong men struggle to lift the keys, the keys of the treasures,
01:06:30.380
let alone what was inside the treasures that what kind of treasures they were, etc. So he had all of
01:06:34.220
this wealth, right? His people, when they advised him, they told him that seek in that which Allah
01:06:39.020
has given you the afterlife, but do not forget your portion in this life. So no one is telling you,
01:06:42.380
you leave this life. No one is telling you do not have good things, good food, good outfits,
01:06:46.060
good cars. All of this is permissible. You're allowed to have it. But also understanding,
01:06:50.300
trying your best to like get the money in a halal way and all of that, and use it in the way that
01:06:54.620
pleases Allah the most. And as I said, look, I think you're doing good. You're improving. I see you
01:06:57.980
improving in from an Islamic point of view, Allah. So you are on a good path, but do not let other
01:07:02.300
people around you try to strip you away from it. Because you know, you see yourself on a good trajectory,
01:07:06.460
you see all of these doubts, people around you, okay, let's go clubbing, buy this one night, man,
01:07:10.300
ah, don't stop being a fake Muslim, drink this. Because those are the people around you,
01:07:13.260
how they're going to speak to you, isn't it? This is how they, I'm assuming this is how they do,
01:07:16.380
because they're a bad influence. Like they're already in the mud, as they say,
01:07:20.060
they want to take you there as well, right? So drink, it's one night, there's no cameras,
01:07:23.740
no one sees you, you know, do it, right? And later on, when they're on camera, they will mention,
01:07:27.580
oh, last week he was with me doing this. These are the type of snakes that are in the social media
01:07:33.260
community, right? So I think you should be very, very careful. This is why you need good
01:07:39.900
surroundings. I'm telling you, you're good, you have a good heart, but people around you,
01:07:42.540
they would use it against you, not use it for you, you know? So yeah, and look, as I said,
01:07:48.700
the Muslims, they should have more support, should understand your situation. Like right now,
01:07:52.780
I've given this analysis for them to understand a little bit. Things are not as easy as telling
01:07:56.300
Sneeko do this, this, and that, and then he's going to start doing what you're telling him.
01:07:59.660
Because he has his own kind of life, he's got all of these different valuables that you're not seeing,
01:08:04.060
just as a layman viewer, and you think they all do this, you don't know what is going on in his life,
01:08:09.180
right? So I'm just trying to put this also for the Muslims watching to see, okay, this is his life,
01:08:13.340
this is the trajectory, this is where he's going. And you know, you definitely have a lot of non-Muslims
01:08:17.580
who go in your comments and say haram and all of these different things, because they find it fun,
01:08:20.940
they see reactions, they're not even Muslims, they don't care, but they see that you have a
01:08:26.220
specific reaction towards it, so they behave as if they're actually Muslim, right? So I think, yeah,
01:08:31.020
not to worry too much about people comment, because it's not really a reflection of...
01:08:34.220
I know, a lot of the time I don't, I'm just, it's just funny, like they say something,
01:08:41.020
Yeah, I get it, yeah, so it's your thing basically, yeah, yeah, I get it, I get it.
01:08:44.860
Okay, but I will probably have to like go, because like it's 12...
01:08:49.340
I know, thank you for staying up so late, Muslims, I really appreciate it, man.
01:08:52.460
Salaamu Alaikum, and I want to ask you quickly, is saying Jum'ah Mbahwak, is that bidah?
01:08:57.900
Well, you can say it occasionally, but not every time, every time, literally every Jum'ah,
01:09:01.980
you can say it occasionally, it's fine, it's no problem, because Jum'ah is considered a Eid,
01:09:05.980
Oh, so it's fine, okay, people in the chat were asking about that,
01:09:08.860
but thank you for staying up so late, I really do appreciate your time,
01:09:11.900
I would like to speak to you again soon, I like your content, like your videos,
01:09:14.780
I'm going to keep reacting to that, keep doing good work, man, I appreciate it.
01:09:17.500
InshaAllah, and as I said, I like you as a brother, you're very good, if I was in the US,
01:09:22.380
I wouldn't mind spending time with you, you know, because I'm far right now,
01:09:25.100
you know, and I don't like the US to say the truth, I don't blame you, I don't blame you.
01:09:28.460
Yeah, all right, InshaAllah, if we can talk in the future, we can, anyways,
01:09:32.220
you got my contact, if you need anything, let me know, InshaAllah, and for everyone in the chat,
01:09:35.900
I hope that Allah, look, simple advice, just pick up the Quran, man, read it,
01:09:40.300
you know, you have nothing to lose, I've read the Bible, man, like I've gotten,
01:09:42.860
I'm not scared of the Bible, the Bible is not going to bite me if I touch it, you know,
01:09:45.580
just get a Quran, read it, try to see what it says, maybe like it doesn't say all of the goats
01:09:49.740
and sheep that you think about every day, let's talk about different things, right?
01:09:53.100
Pick up a quote of the Quran, read, investigate, and look, my live stream, anyone can come,
01:09:56.780
anyone from any religion, from any faith, from any, it doesn't matter who you are, anyone,
01:10:00.060
anyone can join because I put the link publicly for people, if you have questions, you're welcome
01:10:03.580
to come and ask, right? Pick up a Quran, read, investigate, try to find where you are in life,
01:10:07.420
you know, and may Allah guide us all, you know, okay, brother, InshaAllah, it was nice talking to you,
01:10:12.540
Asalaamu Alaikum, have a great night, Asalaamu Alaikum, brother, Asalaamu Alaikum.
01:10:15.340
Hey, W Muslim Lantern, bro, W Muslim Lantern, man, good stuff, man, good stuff, man,
01:10:21.260
we, we still have our, whoa, whoa, look how long that was, my camera's all dark,
01:10:24.780
and what happened to the heaven stuff, let me get it back.
