00:01:24.560 farah salhamadi once again great to meet you uh in real life i've been following you for about a year

00:01:30.920 so i think since i reverted oh yeah you're right i think right after i reverted i followed you yeah

00:01:35.040 and i like that you're you're spreading a good message about islam um obviously before i didn't

00:01:39.880 know about all this i wanted to speak to you but it seems like within the islamic community there's

00:01:44.420 like some disagreements about things but for as a new we've read i think all that stuff is a little

00:01:48.320 bit like unnecessary from from as a new muslim it's like we're all on the same side about a lot

00:01:53.040 of things but there's quite a bit that i want to ask you yeah as a new muslim and as an old muslim

00:01:57.300 these disagreements should not be there but unfortunately it's the it's how life is how

00:02:02.140 humans are we just have to meet things you know we have to meet at some point but we try and you

00:02:10.140 know some people accept some people don't but yes you're you're completely right these disagreements

00:02:14.200 should not be there in islam our message is one our book is one our prophet is one logically speaking

00:02:19.760 we shouldn't be in disagreement but it happens well let me just ask like where are you from i don't know

00:02:25.240 too much about you besides like online tiktok things and where are you from i'm from the uae

00:02:30.340 okay i may look different from the emiratis because they're kind of more dark-skinned because

00:02:33.980 i thought you were egyptian oh right okay that's the first really usually they say i'm syrian turkish

00:02:38.820 okay but no no my mom is from iraq so she's from iraq that's why i get that

00:02:43.480 light complexity but my mom my dad is from the uae okay i've been living here all my life did you grow up

00:02:50.460 shia no no no i grew up sunni all my life okay i've been learning a lot about people from iraq

00:02:56.660 syria i ran that that area your research i've been learning people are surprised that i know

00:03:00.580 this stuff but i'm trying to learn as much about islam as possible um i think i've been making some

00:03:04.520 good stuff so i don't know like what have you noticed since i since i reverted do you think i'm

00:03:07.760 you said that you've seen like some of the content i'm doing do you think i'm doing a good job

00:03:11.100 i i think you are i think you're uh you're you're learning you're studying you're exploring things

00:03:16.440 that's very good some muslims some new muslims because you know i work in an islamic information

00:03:20.360 center where we give dawah to non-muslims and there's a lot of people who like a small concept

00:03:26.980 of islam like for example they like the brotherhood in islam oh cool brotherhood okay i'll be a muslim

00:03:31.920 and they just stop there they just live their life based on that only that's not that's not right

00:03:37.500 you have to complete and learn teach you've you've you've changed your lifestyle you've changed

00:03:42.080 everything about you why you exist have changed now you submit to allah so there's a lot of things

00:03:47.540 that you need to learn and it's a lifetime commitment it's not only for new muslims even

00:03:51.940 born muslims we're always learning i'm learning everybody's learning and so this is the problem i think

00:03:57.540 what you're doing is is fantastic great and i've noticed previously uh maybe at the beginning of

00:04:03.340 your your reversion or accepting islam i saw that there was some kind of um anger or some things

00:04:10.380 that you disagreed with and you were angry about things and you vented off i think on a live

00:04:15.020 stream once and and i kind of understand why because you've been pressured a lot oh the haram

00:04:19.880 police i get that i don't like to use that term but yeah i get you right you know you do a small

00:04:24.860 thing and everybody's on your back why are you doing this why do you have tattoos why did you say

00:04:28.520 this why are you with a girl yep and me coming from a dawah center and i deal with a lot of reverts

00:04:34.600 i understand completely where you come from i don't know how old you are 25 so 25 you've lived

00:04:40.860 24 years 23 years in a different kind of world oh completely different yes and after a year people

00:04:48.020 don't don't just switch yeah it's it's a you know there was one post in my i have a twitter community

00:04:53.040 called love speech where my the viewers come and congregate and speak and i was like stretching

00:04:57.020 one time on my stream and they have my armpit hair and they screenshot my armpit hair and they're

00:05:00.760 like sneego needs to shave it's just it's haram to have hair and i'm like i'm still learning about

00:05:06.340 your usury and you know zina all this stuff and like i have to shave like little things like that

00:05:11.680 but what do you think is the best way to approach new reverts what's your your method of dawah to new

00:05:15.320 muslims just the method of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he sent one of the companions to yemen

00:05:20.720 and he gave him rules and goals and things to teach he said you're gonna go and approach people

00:05:30.640 who are new to islam so be that the first thing that you teach them is that allah is one and they

00:05:37.040 need to worship allah then he said if they accept that and you accomplish this task then teach them

00:05:43.520 about salah then he said if they start praying then teach them about zakah and take the money from the

00:05:50.380 charity it's a kind of charity oh okay zakah is kind of conditioned it's one of the pillars of

00:05:55.820 islam charity is general i can give charity to anyone but zakah is different it has conditions and

00:06:00.620 rules and so thanks and so you have to understand any revert any muslim if you want to approach islam

00:06:10.720 approach it first with dawah thanks bro approach first tawhid get to know your lord get to know your

00:06:18.220 lord get to know your obligations toward your towards your lord and tawhid is the oneness of

00:06:22.580 allah the oneness right yeah so you have to have oneness of allah in your tongue while you speech

00:06:27.640 in your heart see you said bismillah that's oneness of allah get better see there you go in your heart

00:06:33.640 you have to have tawakkul reliance on allah you don't have to you don't put your heart relying

00:06:38.540 relying on on on materialistic things on your job on your money on your fame on your strength

00:06:43.740 on all this is nothing we muslims think that this is perishable if allah wants you take it away from

00:06:48.820 you so we our hearts is attached to allah that's tawhid and then your acts of worship your limbs

00:06:53.480 all this you have to know it and understand it before you move on to salah because if you if you

00:06:58.840 do salah and you don't have tawhid your salah means nothing the whole world is established on tawhid

00:07:06.320 your life is established on tawhid everybody needs to understand that's why we see from the time of

00:07:11.480 the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam until today the scholars the legit scholars not the commercial

00:07:16.460 ones they don't get into drama man they they teach tawhid always that's what they begin with then

00:07:22.220 they talk about other things but mainly tawhid all of my teachers they tell me what have you taught

00:07:27.720 about tawhid i said i taught this book and that book and this book i said okay repeat keep repeating

00:07:32.580 it keep repeating it if you look at the world today most of them are they don't understand what

00:07:37.400 tawhid is even muslims you know how people worship other than allah they claim to be muslims

00:07:42.320 they go to graveyards they say to the person who is in the grave oh so and so person uh help me

00:07:48.980 give me a child do this do that and it's crazy like i don't like to get into politics but this is a

00:07:55.380 very very powerful message for us the person who burnt himself the soldier what's his name again i don't

00:08:01.680 know right he burnt himself for gaza and they quickly made him a martyr some people where's

00:08:10.940 your tawhid that's not what why is he a martyr he shouldn't be celebrated suicide we should be sad

00:08:15.880 about this why he had i think some mental disorder of course he did yeah so what are you doing this

00:08:21.560 is not tawhid this is violating tawhid he's not marty didn't die for the sake of allah he's not even

00:08:26.700 muslim we feel sad for him we feel sad for the people you know his family members he lost them

00:08:31.620 he lost they lost him so this is what i mean people don't understand that great concept in

00:08:36.360 islam and so you have to everybody not you all of us we have to focus on that first yeah and it's

00:08:43.080 it's strange to see because how would you classify yourself a sheikh a student of knowledge an islamic

00:08:47.600 scholar a small student of knowledge i don't like being called a sheikh a student of knowledge that's

00:08:52.760 it i just seek knowledge just like you are yeah my motto is seek truth through funny seek knowledge

00:08:57.800 sure well as as a knowledge seeker how does that con how does that conflict with the internet drama

00:09:04.020 and social media because islam is uh is very traditional conservative and there's so there's

00:09:10.380 so much to learn you could have library sheikh with man my friend he has just all these books yeah and

00:09:15.540 then you get into the internet world um where you know you become famous on on tiktok and twitter

00:09:20.160 these things how do you notice that the two systems of information have friction yeah so

00:09:26.760 fame is sometimes a devil it is it can it can take you or divert your purpose i've seen a lot of people

00:09:37.240 a lot of brothers who got into platforms or social media or dawah in general and they got dragged because

00:09:44.280 of popularity because of pressure from their audiences from their followers to change they

00:09:50.420 started good and then they started getting to drama or they started not talking about teaching people

00:09:56.500 anymore they they want to talk about the fresh things or what's the new thing on social what's

00:10:00.780 going viral i want to talk about that why you're a teacher you're not into social media you social media

00:10:07.780 is a is a tool it's not a goal for you these people who are following you they're not the goal

00:10:14.080 the goal is you want to teach i don't care if you teach five people but teaching them the right

00:10:19.420 thing is what should be the goal you know the purpose of your existence in social media so this

00:10:24.460 is where where it's a two-edged sword you have to really balance it out and i get sometimes dragged

00:10:29.120 into drama things controversial things like that sometimes i'm forced to sometimes i make a mistake

00:10:34.720 sometimes like i said i get dragged to things but i always go back to my name if you look at my content

00:10:40.640 i keep just teaching sometimes yes maybe you've seen that i do talk about something that's viral

00:10:47.340 but then i come back again most of my content is just teaching tawhid sirah hadith tawhid sirah hadith

00:10:53.180 that's it so like you like you said and we both agree social media is a shaitan you have to just

00:10:59.240 tame it and know how to control it not it controls you right do you think that all of us have different

00:11:04.560 roles to play when it comes to dawah and social media i see my role as i'm not i'm barely even a student of

00:11:09.900 knowledge i like to seek knowledge i would not even there's so much to learn like even i'm still

00:11:13.940 learning how to pray correctly these things and learning how i just learned how to disorah fatiha

00:11:17.780 so i think my method because i'm good at social media is when i say something like christ is king

00:11:23.960 which you sent me a message about i think you sent me a message correcting that yeah i see that as like

00:11:29.000 something provocative that can draw attention that gets people talking and then hopefully those people

00:11:33.900 that are speaking about it they get to funnel in they get to see what we're really speaking about

00:11:36.800 do i believe christ is the king of all kings absolutely not but i like the semantics of

00:11:41.740 that word and especially how that that gets a lot of engagement and also it is um it's a political

00:11:47.600 slogan kind of like black lives matter yeah right obviously black lives matter but saying that

00:11:53.580 gets the right people upset and the right people happy and it's a sign of allegiance what the same

00:11:57.820 reason why i say something like that is it perfect to islam no but i think everybody the way i see it is

00:12:04.900 i think everybody has their their method in this in this war against shaitan yeah

00:12:08.820 so how am i sorry but you just proven what we were talking about right social media is a two-edged

00:12:14.600 sword so christ is king does that violate tawheed verbally not intentionally your intention

00:12:23.280 you don't believe christ is the king of kings because you wouldn't be muslim if you say that

00:12:27.900 and i don't believe that yeah but you said it that is a violation

00:12:31.760 so acts of worship has two components has intention and act the intention should be correct and the act

00:12:40.460 should be correct you can't say oh i have my intention right but my act is not right it's okay

00:12:45.660 at least my intention is right no islam is not like that because if you open that door then

00:12:51.480 anybody can do anything and says my intention is right why are you judging me why are you saying

00:12:55.320 it's wrong where do you draw the line yeah where you draw so no acts of worship or anything that's

00:12:59.620 talked about in islam or in religion has to have these two components that are right

00:13:03.100 and so you said it you said it draws attention it's provocative so now you lean towards you want

00:13:10.500 to satisfy the audience sorry i'm not like putting on the spot no no no this is this is good yeah but

00:13:15.980 but if you if you say no i don't want to provoke anyone because first of all my priority is i don't

00:13:22.500 want to violate anything in islam if i don't violate anything in islam then yes i can serve or fulfill

00:13:28.520 my audience's i don't know curiosity or whatever that's fine but then here's the line so christ is

00:13:35.080 king no you have to first ask yourself like does that violate anything in my priorities as a muslim

00:13:39.480 yes i'm not going to say but but but the people but the popularity but the viral but you know is

00:13:45.480 going to trigger a lot of people i don't care well it triggers the i see it triggers the the people

00:13:49.400 that we're that we're fighting against right now when they call it an anti-semitic term that's when i'm

00:13:54.080 like this is a slogan that i can get behind and if you see if i start to stream and i start playing

00:13:59.280 music like during ramadan i'm not doing that we're not playing music um we're trying not to at least

00:14:04.160 you're a musician i'm not a musician but like when i start to stream i start with music because

00:14:08.000 it's you know it draws people in you know even though it's not perfect it's not quran it's not

00:14:12.240 sunnah um it still draws people in and then then you get to speak about what you talk about then you

00:14:15.760 get to give dawah then you get to you know try to bring people closer to god even though it's

00:14:19.960 imperfect is it can it not still be effective even though i don't believe christ is the king

00:14:24.040 of all kings even though it gets the the right it shows allegiance of the right people i think

00:14:28.120 christians and muslims are on the same side on a lot of issues right now can it not be effective

00:14:33.560 to to be imperfect especially in social media which is you know it's a the whole existence of

00:14:39.000 social media is imperfect that's a very that's a very deep question and you see nothing is perfect

00:14:45.880 yes you're right even my dawah anybody's dawah is it perfect no we have some mistakes maybe it's not

00:14:51.960 that effective the way i say things maybe the the the subject that i use but like i said again it see

00:14:59.880 anything in in dawah we call it in arabic uh okay okay means from stop yeah i have to be restricted in

00:15:07.800 my method of dawah as the prophet did i can't come up with new methods of dawah

00:15:16.360 i'm not talking about tools i can use whatever tools that are to technology that's fine i can use

00:15:20.680 my phone my camera whatever now what we're doing this is fine i'm talking about the method so i can't

00:15:25.320 come for example i can't say i'm going to give dawah by singing i say that's not that's not right

00:15:31.720 that's haram and that's not how the prophet did so you don't do it anything that was available

00:15:39.160 at the time of the prophet and he didn't use then we don't use you know what i mean right makes sense

00:15:44.120 right because what's the best dawah the prophet's dawah that's the best we follow that the methodology

00:15:51.480 of the dawah and so we have to restrict ourselves with that but not i'm not going to get a lot of

00:15:57.560 people to listen to me we're not we don't care about quantity care about quality yeah and so so this

00:16:02.760 is where where a lot of people make mistakes i've seen i've seen some people for example there's this

00:16:07.240 went viral uh in i think it was indonesia or malaysia there's a guy who'd go into clubs night

00:16:15.000 clubs uh prostitute houses uh transvestites and all that sorry to say yeah and he goes there and

00:16:21.800 he's filming them and he's like people are partying and drinking he's filming them and he goes inside

00:16:25.960 he's like a sheikh or something and he goes inside and i think it was staged and he starts calling people

00:16:30.840 to islam and all that and then he's like yeah oh okay fine we you know we repent to allah and then

00:16:35.800 he comes and he hugs and like what are you doing who is this you know what i mean and this is viral

00:16:40.200 you can check it out on youtube that sounds like a modin video it was it was i know no oh you don't

00:16:46.600 never mind never mind okay so so this is wrong this is not how the prophet used to do dawah you

00:16:51.880 know what i mean that's the weird creative ways so we have to draw the line where where is it the

00:16:57.800 methodology we violate the methodology or not what kind of uh even debates debates the prophet

00:17:04.920 never did it or didn't do it in that it didn't do it in the context that they're doing today

00:17:09.960 like speaker's corner things like that speaker's corner today we have like all live discord panels

00:17:15.480 yeah like let's go debate i'm debating this guy in christian and i'm muslim and pay and like what are

00:17:21.000 you doing this is not like mma this is not ufc you know this is not the jerry springer show you want

00:17:25.800 to give dawah call to people you don't have to face them and conflict them and most of the people

00:17:30.360 who are debating today most if not all they're not even equipped with the good not like etiquette

00:17:35.400 knowledge to to debate like they make a mess i've seen some of these debates like man if i was christian

00:17:41.400 i can refute this guy easily like silly things but because they pick and choose their opponents

00:17:47.560 you know the silly ones the ones that are very controversial so this is how it's all a game man

00:17:53.240 that's what i think they're saying should we move close is the noise bad like it's not terrible but

00:17:59.160 somewhere else inside would be better oh yeah okay okay yeah it's a little bit loud out here

00:18:03.560 yeah yeah do you mind if we move in let's move in yeah whatever are we still filming yeah we are

00:18:09.480 saying live you think it would be better uh right here

00:18:24.200 yeah it's still gonna be in our region is it okay if we film inside or is it like i'll try to find if

00:18:29.080 there's an office space inside okay sorry about that no it's cool should i come with you yeah of

00:18:33.960 course yeah yeah it's fine i got it awesome maybe we can go um oh we go here perfect

00:18:45.400 oh right next to warner oh warner what a coincidence do you mind if we sit here it's just too loud outside

00:18:55.960 hide hide your face

00:19:01.320 much better the connection is good yeah okay

00:19:07.880 i i i do think this is a this is a good discussion um so so you your your point of view is

00:19:14.920 though the best form of dawah is the dawah that the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasalam yes that's

00:19:19.320 the best dawah obviously that you you were you're you did give some knowledge to andrew tay correct

00:19:25.480 a little bit not not too much because i know he's a busy guy and the thing that he's he's in now the

00:19:31.000 battle he's he's going through him and his brother may allah make it easy i don't want to burden him

00:19:35.000 with a lot of things let him focus fight his battles finish that settle down because islam needs focus

00:19:40.600 and what what he's going through i don't think it's it's time it's the right time for okay you

00:19:45.800 know you have to have wisdom when you teach people you don't just throw things at him 100 yeah but he

00:19:50.200 he was probably one of the most in like indirectly or directly he led a a wave of people that started

00:19:57.560 to learn more about islam so i would say like him talking about women yeah on fresh and fit all the

00:20:03.000 time these are my good friends yeah him talking about women like four wives these things obviously

00:20:07.160 that's not a good representation of islam islam is way more it's about toheed it's about yeah it's

00:20:12.680 for but that it's so it's almost like that's the clickbait term four wives and then people learn

00:20:18.520 about that and they're like okay well multiple polygamy they learn these things and then they

00:20:22.120 get interested in the actual religion and then they get to realize that the terrorist label that was uh

00:20:27.080 that the u.s put on islam for the past 20 years was all a lie that what we're our the whole invasion

00:20:31.880 of iraq was discussing was completely unjustified and that 9 11 a lot of these things were just giant

00:20:37.000 lies but what gets people in to start learning about that because everybody's so programmed by

00:20:41.720 social media four wives then they become interested so isn't isn't there an argument that it's effective

00:20:48.200 to to clickbait a little bit even though it's not perfect that it's not what the obviously not

00:20:52.200 what the prophets allahu alayhi wasalam would do isn't this what isn't this method effective in the

00:20:57.000 social media age i'm not denying that it's effective it's very effective but like i said we have to draw

00:21:02.920 the line like christ is king doesn't that's sure does is that really considered sure yes verbal

00:21:09.960 sure it's not in your heart but if i say if i say faris is king that's not sure i'm not worshiping

00:21:16.360 you you're just like what about i'm a king if i tell the people watching you guys are kings that's fine

00:21:21.480 that's not but you have you have uh that's that slogan is very well known and it's used by who only

00:21:29.640 christians like you wouldn't see anybody else but a christian would say that and they mean something

00:21:33.640 by saying that and so that's why it's it can be it can be let me correct that type of shirk but but

00:21:40.520 if my intentions are different and i don't mean that then it's not sure i'll give you an example okay

00:21:45.720 if you if you swear by other than allah so i swear my mother's life is that shirk the prophet said it's

00:21:53.640 shirk a lot of muslims do that i hear that quite a bit yeah what kind of shirk it's lesser shirk minor

00:21:59.960 shirk doesn't take you out of the folds of islam but you have committed a violation if you believe

00:22:05.320 that your mother is god of course that's how it takes you out of the islam i swear my mother's life i

00:22:09.800 swear on my life or whatever the prophet said anybody who swears by other than not then he has committed

00:22:16.200 politism and this is the type of shirk it's a verbal shirk so like i said your actions has to be

00:22:22.760 two conditions have to be met your intention and your act and so here yes you don't mean christ is

00:22:28.200 king i'm sure that you don't mean that but that statement is used by exclusively by christians and

00:22:34.040 it's meant they mean christ is the lord is the king of kings you know in islam it is one of the

00:22:41.480 fundamentals that we disassociate our religion from their religion it's fundamentally embedded in islam in

00:22:50.040 every single thing that you can see surah i can't reset it yet but i think you maybe you came across

00:22:59.800 it or all disbelievers i don't worship what you worship and i and you don't worship what i worship

00:23:06.200 and so on so you know why this ayah got revealed the surah why at the time of the prophet in in the

00:23:11.080 meccan period the kuffar of quraish the disbelievers they came to the prophet after the revelation you know

00:23:16.600 occurred and they said okay how about you worship one time you we worship your god and one day you

00:23:24.200 worship our god and you know we you know mix and match and so allah revealed this ayah that no draw

00:23:29.880 the line between islam and all other religions that's why we say what does that mean when you

00:23:35.960 say i bear witness that there is no god but there's nothing worth worshiping but allah

00:23:40.440 means that i reject all religions i reject all religions and anything that's associated with

00:23:45.320 other religions i have to reject it this is the submission to allah and so anything that's

00:23:49.560 related to their religion i cannot do so you can't wear a cross you can't do this you can't

00:23:56.440 things they say you can't celebrate their rituals their celebrations you can't celebrate christmas

00:24:03.080 of course it's a religious ritual right it's a pagan ritual it's a big well yeah but how bad is that

00:24:08.440 when i was streaming around december i put up some christmas lights you know just yeah i didn't have a

00:24:13.400 tree and i didn't do it but even then like is it sure let me ask you this my family's all they're

00:24:17.880 not christian but they still celebrate christian holidays they'll still do christmas no one's going

00:24:22.600 to church in my family but they'll do christmas and that will give presents is that a form of

00:24:26.520 shark if i show up on on december 25th it's not shirk but it's haram it's hard but if you believe in it

00:24:33.320 then it's shirk of course you don't believe but it's haram even to participate absolutely because that's

00:24:38.120 kind of hypocritical generally speaking because you believe that it's false yet you come and say

00:24:43.800 ah celebrate you know what i mean like but you believe it's false why are you celebrating why are

00:24:49.240 you hiding your belief no isn't it kind of like say when i have my little nephews and nieces they

00:24:53.240 play in a playground they have a shoe and a dinosaur and i'm going i'm scared the dinosaur

00:25:00.280 i'm playing with my yeah same thing i'm playing with my family that's religious bro that's that's

00:25:04.680 playing that's totally secular but even if we're not nobody's praying to jesus if we're celebrating

00:25:09.160 christmas just for the act of like you know i'll give presents and we'll get together on this holiday

00:25:12.600 that's still haram yes because because originally this is a ritual that is known and embedded in the

00:25:18.200 christian belief christian belief whether it is a pagan originally even that's even worse than that

00:25:24.040 it's still a disbelief or a shirk celebration and so uh see that's the thing when you when you talk

00:25:31.000 about these these things you want to get it let's talk about these things these are branches or this

00:25:37.160 comes from tauhid once you embed tauhid in your life and in your heart this is easy to swallow but

00:25:44.760 for you now because you come from a different background and your family is christian and you

00:25:49.640 lived in a christian country so it is kind of hard to digest now for me it's easy i've never lived in a

00:25:55.000 christian country i'm living here all my life again whatever christianity or sorry uh christmas i don't

00:25:59.960 celebrate whatever to you it's a bit hard and i can understand that but i also i'm not going to

00:26:04.760 cheat you say no no it's okay don't don't do it i say it's haram just be careful think about it if

00:26:10.280 if you fall in it please repent ask allah forgive for forgiveness but i'm not going to give you a

00:26:14.280 discount it's not my religion i'm going to tell you how it is so what would you recommend you work

00:26:18.200 with new evers consistently correct yeah what would you recommend they do if if i haven't seen my

00:26:22.760 family for a long time and they're all gathering during christmas what should i do don't celebrate

00:26:27.560 don't go don't go don't go see my family see them another time they're all gathering at that

00:26:33.800 time i i can't even go on that date i i can't i cannot tell you to go i just like i can't i don't

00:26:41.720 have that you know yeah privilege i know that is haram okay so i'm not saying that uh new rivers don't

00:26:49.720 do it they do it and i understand why they do it because of pressure because they're used to it

00:26:55.480 because their family like you said i'm not going to see them any other time in the year so i want

00:26:59.320 to see them i tell them okay if you're going to go go but i cannot tell you that it's halal that's it

00:27:05.880 and see that's that's the problem with dealing with sin a lot of people muslims and non-muslims or

00:27:13.000 reverts they stress and they believe that they have to be angels oh i have to be perfect or else my

00:27:21.640 whole religion is destroyed it's impossible to be perfect you can't do that just repent okay

00:27:27.160 before committing a sin fear allah and know that allah can punish you after you commit a sin

00:27:37.160 sincerely repent and know that allah is merciful see how this works a lot of people flip it before

00:27:43.880 they do this and they say allah is merciful let me just do the sin and once they do this and they

00:27:48.040 say oh my god how how is allah gonna forgive me i fall into this no it's not like that so dealing

00:27:55.080 with sin is extremely um can be tricky to some people who don't have knowledge and also people

00:28:00.760 who do sin sometimes and i think the shaitan also plays with our head maybe you've experienced this

00:28:04.680 you've done sin the shaitan will come play with your head oh man look at you you're a hypocrite

00:28:08.440 you're pretending to be a good muslim you're nothing you're this has lost hope whatever give it up

00:28:12.440 yeah and say like yeah man i'm just going to do more sin right that's the worst thing you can do

00:28:16.360 downward spiral exactly just like you dieting and then you binge one time you just get back

00:28:21.240 on track you know fix your diet tomorrow maybe skip a meal eat something less and your diet will go on

00:28:27.640 and it's not the end of the world same thing with sin fine you made a mistake replace it with a good

00:28:33.160 thing you have to clean your heart it's dirty now clean it with good deeds do more good to charity do

00:28:39.240 sada do dua do anything that's that can that can increase your iman if you don't do that then you

00:28:46.120 are going downhill so this is the life of a woman of a believer this is up and down up everybody's

00:28:51.800 gonna send i'm not telling you again you know but we're talking technicality is celebrating christmas

00:28:57.000 is halal or haram is haram is music haram people are gonna do it yeah people are gonna do it but

00:29:02.680 repent okay repent sincerely don't play i'm gonna do it and i'm gonna just repent no no repent

00:29:08.600 sincerely and always have that hate find that hate in your heart on sins hate sins don't normalize it

00:29:19.080 normalization of sin is extremely bad and dangerous because if you normalize sin then you like it then

00:29:23.720 it becomes a habit then it becomes an addiction just like with drugs now the first hit you hit

00:29:29.560 step back don't go another time and a third and a fourth then because then you're just going to be

00:29:34.360 a slave to these things even with sex with drugs with anything even music today some people will

00:29:39.400 tell me wallahi i've heard people say what music is haram i don't want this religion that's how much

00:29:46.360 enslaved he is to rip to this music right he is this is god right he's like i don't want this my priority

00:29:51.960 is music how much you're addicted to it what am i going to tell you you know what i mean so and

00:29:56.920 you mentioned something i wanted to point this out um when you said i give dawah i give dawah you give

00:30:02.280 dawah tate gives dawah very powerful dawah my lord bless him and reward him for that but you have to

00:30:06.600 understand in dawah there is different levels there is there is dawah that is detailed and technical

00:30:14.200 and there's dawah that is general every muslim is a dad

00:30:16.600 yeah you just maybe i'm walking with a beard or you're walking with that hat you identify as a

00:30:22.840 muslim people looking looking at you will have triggered in your heart like a muslim islam and

00:30:29.480 then you being nice to them and say salam alaikum maybe you give charity maybe help people that's

00:30:33.560 dawah that's dawah and that's your level of dawah that's your side of dawah i can do what you do maybe

00:30:39.480 yeah because you have your own you know yeah your own personality your own audience your own thing that

00:30:44.840 you're going on i teach can you teach not now not yet maybe yeah but i have i give technical

00:30:51.720 things in islam and i teach people the core and all that and you give dawah in your own way and

00:30:55.800 rotate the same thing that that video him praying with tam khan that was one of the most effective

00:31:01.800 forms of dawah and i've had yes yesterday i met three czech guys 20 year olds in the uae they reverted to

00:31:10.040 islam andrew tate we had another guy who came to the center he was a ex-hindo from india came to the

00:31:17.720 center he's like i want to revert to islam mashallah finally there's a lot of people who are doing that

00:31:22.680 that hindu guy must have had to do a lot of wudu probably i don't know i want to ask you um

00:31:29.720 before i ask you about what did you teach andrew tate specifically because i know you you were

00:31:33.640 somewhat close honestly nothing structured okay but before i quickly because you brought up

00:31:38.280 charity that we are giving money away for ramadan uh project iftar.org slash nico every two dollars

00:31:43.480 feeds one person i think we're at thirty thousand right now thirty thousand dollars we fed fifteen

00:31:47.160 thousand people so quickly just go to project.org project iftar.org slash nico and uh you know cleanse

00:31:52.760 your wealth a little bit but what do you think that as a teacher um what do you think that you can

00:31:59.800 teach me like what what have you what's your perception been so far it's i've been a muslim

00:32:05.160 for a year you know first ramadan um just came back from umrah like still trying my best every

00:32:10.600 single day uh what do you think is the most important thing that i should know that i don't know

00:32:17.480 and you'll keep on learning it until like you'll intensify it now and then once you get that base

00:32:24.600 established of tauhid then you learn other things but you also revise tauhid all the time tauhid must

00:32:31.480 be always with you that's how i started everybody starts like that that's the right way so i think

00:32:38.360 everybody should start in that way and there's like i told you there's different types of tauhid

00:32:43.960 there is how to understand quran with tauhid when you read the quran quran is all about tauhid

00:32:49.400 how do you put these tauhid goggles on when you read the quran you understand where's what's allah

00:32:54.920 trying to tell you not trying telling you allah doesn't try he tells you and so this is very

00:33:00.680 very important and i remind you of the hadith of the prophet when i told you he sent muad ibn

00:33:05.000 jabal to yaman first thing he said 13 years in mecca the prophet would just call for tauhid every year

00:33:13.320 during the hajj the pilgrimage season he'd walk out in the alleys and in the streets of mecca saying

00:33:19.480 all people worship one god all people say la ilaha illallah 13 years he'd do that until he left mecca

00:33:27.160 and then of course he went to medina and then he came back that's that's the the dawah of the prophet

00:33:31.640 and it's the most powerful wallahi wallahi sneeko i've seen a lot of reverts one of the main things that

00:33:37.320 they say the reason that they accepted islam is because of tauhid they say we we haven't understood

00:33:43.160 this concept of tauhid we didn't find it anywhere that was me as well even you right see i'm telling

00:33:48.280 you that was always was confusing about catholicism and i never understood the trinity and still today

00:33:53.000 it doesn't make sense uh i never understood like these you know the rituals of catechism things like

00:33:58.280 that the drinking of blood but the oneness of allah the tauhid is really what resonated with me the fact

00:34:04.280 that when you walk into dubai for example you see the burj khalifa you see these buildings somebody

00:34:08.440 must have created it and so when you see this beautiful earth that's out here the animals the

00:34:11.880 people something must have created and it has to be one intelligent designer and then i clicked in my

00:34:16.520 head islam is the truth so i just have to submit to him only it makes sense every every single religion

00:34:23.400 other than islam they don't have that concept no either worshipping an animal a person an object

00:34:28.360 whatever it is or cows or whatever it is all of them and it kind of you kind of see the pattern

00:34:34.760 there's always association they always want to associate something that is created with the

00:34:39.080 creator because it's coming from the shaytan shaytan wants you to fall into shit you see a lot of

00:34:43.560 celebrities compare themselves to jesus peace be upon him quite a bit i don't know there's a lot of

00:34:48.440 imagery that they use um one of my favorite artists even though music is around one of my favorite artists

00:34:53.080 kanye west he has a number one song right now called carnival and uh stoffer for saying that i do want

00:34:58.680 to repeat the lyrics he said uh um i'm the new jesus bitch like i turn water to like he's he says i'm

00:35:05.240 the new jesus and that's and it's number one it's what how's his health he's doing well i hope so

00:35:10.280 yeah i saw a couple of videos of him it didn't seem very well i hope he's doing well may allah

00:35:17.880 guide him can i ask you what is um what is mad kali is i pronouncing it correctly sorry in an american

00:35:26.840 accent how do you how do you say mad kali i see i saw when i tweeted the picture i was very excited

00:35:32.840 to do the interview like uh sneaker was indoctrinated by the mad kali i'm like what is this like i know

00:35:37.480 i but i'm just from my point of view i'm just muslim and then when i started talking to people

00:35:41.800 they're like oh you're salafi oh don't hang out with shias but what's my highly can i ask you see

00:35:46.920 that's that's the problem a lot of people will drag muslims and reverse and all that into these name

00:35:51.640 callings and labels and this is not how it should be done you you get confused when you say madkali

00:35:58.600 salafi i don't know what sufi shia whatever forget these names you as a muslim you as a muslim

00:36:07.000 how do you think the most intelligent logical way into receiving and understanding and interpreting

00:36:13.560 quran and sunnah to heed to heed but the method the approach okay so i have the quran and i have

00:36:21.320 the hadith and i read it how do i interpret it you must interpret it through the interpretation

00:36:27.560 of the prophet so the prophet interpreted and the sahaba the companions think about it logically

00:36:36.280 who got this quran to us after the prophet who carried it to us abu bakar abu bakar umar uthman ali

00:36:43.080 and all the others abu huraira anas ibn malik ibn mas'ud ibn abbas all of them

00:36:47.320 doesn't it sound logical that if i want to know about something or someone i get to the people

00:36:54.200 who are around him if i want to get to sneeko who do i go to his friends his wife if you're married

00:37:00.920 i don't know you're married no no yeah soon inshallah if you know some some women that's in the

00:37:06.760 copies or something he's a good guy inshallah yeah they were dming me but then they deleted my

00:37:10.680 instagram maybe because they didn't want me to get a wife but all right it's just in dubai you'll find

00:37:15.160 one inshallah you're a good guy good looking guy but anyways so you get the people who are closer

00:37:21.560 to you to know who sneeko is they know you best like the prophet the quran was it revealed when

00:37:27.720 they were all around him so we get the methodology or the interpretation or the understanding of the

00:37:33.400 quran and the sunnah through them that's the methodology if you don't do that if you say

00:37:39.240 no well they said a couple of things that my logic doesn't agree with so i'm not going to do that i'm

00:37:45.240 just going to interpret quran the way i see it that's the shaitan talking that's it and i tell you

00:37:53.720 throughout history the islamic umma deviated because of this issue because of this issue everybody

00:38:01.640 everybody deviated and we divided and we started fighting with each other and you've seen the drama

00:38:05.720 that's happening on a large scale on a personal scale because a lot of people want to interpret

00:38:10.440 the quran and the sunnah the way they see it i say no i just want to be authentic man just like we like

00:38:16.360 to when it comes to doctors when it comes to medicine i don't want to go to pseudoscience these

00:38:21.800 herbal whatever energy healing whatever conment i want to go to the real doctors the real surgeons

00:38:27.800 who have evidence-based treatments that i can heal myself same thing with religion religion is a science

00:38:33.560 so we have to be sure where do we take the science from from the people from the scientists

00:38:37.640 the best of scientists and so this is where this madhali occurred we interpret some of the

00:38:45.960 hadith of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasalam with dealing with governments and rulers in a way

00:38:53.080 that how the prophet taught us to deal with when i say that they assume bad of me or the people who

00:39:00.040 are called madhalis they say ah you're an agent you're paid by who by the government by which

00:39:06.600 government well if i'm here that i'm paid by the government to say certain things and i have a

00:39:11.400 secret agenda to portray islam in a certain way that is false what way do you do the people who

00:39:18.280 are criticizing you how do they think you're portraying islam they say they say that i justify

00:39:22.280 anything even haram things that the government does which is false i don't do that i praise

00:39:29.800 when it is worth praising you know one of the rulers may allah bless them he uh built a masjid

00:39:38.360 i say may allah reward him mashallah why why is that wrong okay oh no you agent you government

00:39:44.520 what about this what about this mistake he did what about that mistake he did so i'm not talking about

00:39:49.320 that well haven't you done any mistakes are you perfect am i perfect we're just talking about

00:39:53.480 perfect nobody's perfect so they don't want you to commend the people that are in control of the

00:39:57.880 government critics they want me to criticize the government the governments when they do mistakes

00:40:03.880 if we agree that's a mistake right but i mean knowing that the government's around here if you

00:40:07.560 do that it's just you shouldn't do that that's number one we shouldn't do that because of

00:40:11.320 safety issues safety issues what i have to bring something up like we've been going in the cars back

00:40:15.320 and forth from from working and podcasts and then when people are like saying something that you

00:40:19.720 shouldn't say they're like they whisper in the car like there's no one here it's just me and needles

00:40:25.000 by christians and then they're like they're listening to the phones i'm like what did i even

00:40:28.840 i'm just asking questions about like certain political things like it's like it's just us

00:40:33.320 alone in a car i've never had to deal with that that's just too much that's not true but

00:40:39.720 the prophet told us and there's so many hadith a clear cut before the safety it's a religion

00:40:47.480 that how to deal with rulers the prophet more than a hundred hadith explained in detail what will

00:40:53.960 happen at the end of time and how to deal with people if they are good or bad rulers and you know

00:41:01.000 the fitna that happened there's a huge fitna that happened after the death of the prophet

00:41:05.800 the time of uthman people revolted he was the ruler and people revolted against him cut his head

00:41:10.680 off in front of his family members in his house after the revolution and they overthrew him and it

00:41:15.320 became a big fitna then ali took power and then they fought the people who killed us man big story

00:41:20.040 maybe you can leave it some other time but the point is the prophet said that if you see any

00:41:25.880 mistakes from a ruler give him nasiha you know what nasiha is no give him advice but keep it between

00:41:33.160 you and him don't do it publicly don't go to people ah people this ruler is doing this see he doesn't

00:41:39.320 fear allah think about it logically what good is that what would that do the impact it could correct

00:41:46.920 it could correct them it could correct them yeah and he could be very defensive

00:41:51.560 and people would go against him and maybe he would jail you maybe he would do things for you maybe

00:41:56.520 it would corrupt the the the the relationship between you and a ruler that's true and then with

00:42:03.560 that a lot of harms can uh occur from it the prophet said when he said when you want to give nasiha

00:42:10.280 he said if you see a wrongdoing change it don't talk about it change it then he said change it with

00:42:19.560 your hand meaning if you have power authority change it with your hand and he said if you can't if you

00:42:26.280 don't have power and authority change it with your tongue if you don't have authority and you can't then

00:42:30.600 change it with your heart and that's the weakest of email so he gave you three levels to change wrongdoings

00:42:35.880 when it comes to high level authorities who make mistakes they're human they make mistakes just

00:42:42.280 like we do if i come and talk to the public is that changing anything no it's not going to change

00:42:49.000 anything you use nico if i come up tomorrow and say the truth about nico exposed this nico guy he

00:42:56.680 doesn't fear allah he has tattoos he has a girlfriend he has this he has plays music what is kind of what

00:43:01.400 kind of muslim is he says christ is king does that sit well in your heart i don't have a girlfriend

00:43:06.200 though but yeah sorry yeah it was just an example i know i get it disclaimer but me contacting you

00:43:11.720 in private that kind of felt welcoming and friendly right and that's what that was i actually really

00:43:17.240 did appreciate that concern uh so that you messaged me and then you were saying like a lot of people

00:43:21.880 were attacking like oh sico is the new how is he committing shark and you just came in from a good

00:43:27.080 point of view like hey i want to let you know that christ is king is the explanation behind it and why that

00:43:31.240 was bad instead of publicly shaming me because that's all my existence on youtube me being banned

00:43:35.160 on all these platforms is everybody sneaker expose all this stuff there's nobody trying to nobody cares

00:43:39.960 about spreading dawah they just want to go slander my name so i understand i do understand that

00:43:44.440 perspective about rulers are the same they're humans they get defensive they get sad they get angry they

00:43:51.000 get whatever shit brown plays with their head and in the end we are under this ruler my dawah my people

00:43:57.480 my income like this all this is under him why would i make bad things or make a bad relationship with

00:44:04.200 him and in the end i'm not going to change anything he's just going to get defensive people are going

00:44:07.960 to hate him divide the people and it's just going to ruin everything ruin the sovereignty and the peace of

00:44:12.440 the country and that's why the prophet said if you want to give nasiha advice to a sultan so that means

00:44:23.080 authority yeah he says don't mention it publicly he said go to him give him nasiha and if he accepts

00:44:30.120 okay if he doesn't accept am i going to guide you course i gave you not see how you do what you will

00:44:34.200 allah is going to judge you that's it that's the proper logical way to dealing with things when it comes to

00:44:39.880 rulers and so these people don't understand this they say no no no no you're you're an agent bro

00:44:46.360 i'm not an agent i'm just trying to fix things in a proper logical way peaceful way can i ask you um

00:44:51.880 people were criticized i i didn't know about this like i'm not trying to people criticized him that

00:44:56.520 you were supporting um saying that we shouldn't boycott can i ask you your opinion on boycotting yeah

00:45:01.560 so i explained this in a couple of videos boycotting is divided into four types there's individual

00:45:07.320 boycotting and there's campaign uh campaign or organized boycotting public boycotting and there

00:45:13.160 is boycotting in muslim country and there's boycotting in non-muslim countries individual

00:45:19.560 boycotting sneaker wants to boycott balansiaga that's how you say it right or mcdonald's or

00:45:26.040 starbucks or whatever you can do whatever you want nobody can force you right you're in a muslim country

00:45:31.640 you can do whatever you want you're in a non-muslim country you can do whatever you want

00:45:36.600 now comes now the tricky part public campaign boycotting sneaker's gonna come on rumble and say

00:45:42.200 guys boycott so and so and so i have said that i said stop going to starbucks okay if you are a

00:45:48.280 non-muslim country you can do whatever you want why because the authority there the government i'm sure

00:45:58.520 that in the u.s right you're u.s citizen yeah you have a freedom of speech and democracy and you can

00:46:03.240 do that it's not against the law right you can say whatever you want about whatever company in a

00:46:09.080 peaceful way that's fine do it if it's proven that so-and-so country in your land in america is

00:46:18.760 supporting a transgressor whether it's israel whether it's india whatever it is examples and they

00:46:26.200 are directly officially without any doubt and assumption they are supporting killing muslims

00:46:33.480 unjustly it's obligatory on you to boycott

00:46:40.040 why you're supporting people who are killing your brothers haram so do you agree with me saying don't

00:46:45.880 go to starbucks in your country if it's proven that starbucks does support they do israel they do they do

00:46:52.040 okay in my country starbucks mcdonald's all these american companies or whatever they are under a

00:47:03.560 franchise is that we call it a sponsor i don't know like a an eight what do you call it like a a person

00:47:08.920 who has that trademark and he sells he's a franchisor franchisee sorry okay franchise so he has the the

00:47:17.400 copyright and the products and everything the logo and everything of starbucks and he sells and

00:47:22.760 he opens up these cafes he gets the money and the profit and there's royalty they call it royalty that's

00:47:30.040 a percentage or 10 or so it goes to headquarters the us that situation you are not allowed to

00:47:41.000 make public campaigns of boycotting in muslim countries

00:47:47.240 number one because in muslim countries public affairs is the responsibility of the ruler

00:47:54.760 not responsibility of the citizens and i can't go tomorrow say in public i go to the streets and say guys

00:48:01.000 don't go on the street or don't go to this place or wear this any public kind of influence

00:48:07.320 or manipulating or forcing or encouraging any campaign that is about the public affairs i cannot

00:48:16.040 do that it's not my authority it's not your authority but it is your opinion and it is

00:48:22.440 if we could all agree on that then but there is the ruler that permitted this to be sold in his country

00:48:29.800 if i say that he says so you see it as going against the ruler's decision yes but the ruler isn't

00:48:35.480 an authoritative figure on islam the like you said allah is the king of all kings absolutely not the

00:48:41.640 ruler yes allah said in the quran oh who you believe obey allah and obey the messenger priority

00:48:49.640 then third level which is of course secondary or any lowest level is obey the people of authority

00:48:55.480 this is in the quran in things that are permissible things things that are permissible the prophet

00:49:03.240 sallallahu alaihi wasallam said in hadith that you have to obey the rulers even if in your dislikes

00:49:10.200 and in your in things that you like and dislike as long as it's permissible you're saying as long

00:49:14.600 as you don't like even if you don't like it you have to do it so if the ruler started saying

00:49:20.680 everybody drink alcohol should we criticize it no no you don't do it but so why what about like the

00:49:26.360 killing of children you're not killing anyone well i mean in fact that's where the money's going

00:49:31.880 not in the ua that's not true and not in the not in the ua sure but exactly okay so so in starbucks

00:49:39.160 starbucks in the ua they're actually giving ghazza they've said that officially because not run by

00:49:45.400 starbucks it's run by i think a shire or something there's a company here that runs starbucks even

00:49:49.960 mcdonald's they're giving ghazza like the employees are muslims why why are you boycotting them come on

00:49:57.800 top of that boycotting just yes i think the other day there's i think of shayat mentioned in the news

00:50:03.160 he said i had to i had to fire 2 000 muslims because of your boycotts what good is that did that save the

00:50:09.240 war no you're just hurting muslims these muslims are low minimum wage but they're trying to feed their

00:50:14.040 families in bangladesh and philippines and india and pakistan why are you boycotting these people

00:50:19.480 when it's not affecting anything i i it really saddens me that muslims are so shallow

00:50:25.000 they think like that oh if i don't buy coffee i'm gonna save the people and like no you're not

00:50:29.720 this is war man they've they've been funded by the by the world you think a cup of coffee in one

00:50:35.800 country or so and so things it's gonna be like oh oh they caught us we don't have any money anymore

00:50:42.360 no they're gonna just make up isn't it better to do it than to not do it in muslim countries not do it

00:50:46.840 it in non-muslim countries i told you the situation okay if you believe and it's there it's true

00:50:53.320 it's official that they are supporting and they're giving money to to uh to the the killers israel or

00:50:59.880 whatever yeah don't buy don't buy i never said about that the people they've twisted things they said

00:51:05.480 ah oh this guy he wants he wants to

00:51:08.600 oh we're gonna get arrested

00:51:13.320 hey we can't film here

00:53:25.560 seeking knowledge how did you get to know to how did how did you get to know andrew you can put the

00:53:31.320 camera up we're out now yeah bro we're in dubai we're fine um assalamualaikum can you come in

00:53:40.200 how did i get to know andrew yeah um i met him a year and a half ago went to romania got to meet

00:53:47.640 andrew and tristan uh really good guys man i met him twice and he's great man he's different

00:53:54.520 from the camera is different then you think so i thought he was the same really well i i just think

00:53:59.480 that he just met me that's right well i i understand content creation pretty well and like the the

00:54:04.920 persona you need to be to be engaging so it's like i never thought like is this guy like this all the

00:54:09.880 time like i'm like yeah this is just it's a show it's a show um so he was exactly yeah it was

00:54:15.000 exactly what i expect him and tristan they're good people bro they're good guys they're good guys

00:54:19.320 what was that they finish and come they finish their case and come back here man inshallah i think

00:54:23.960 it's safe here for them it's around here right is it yeah i think we have to walk okay i'm gonna cross

00:54:29.400 oh i don't i think i remember driving from here okay i don't know yeah i guess we can go here and quieter

00:54:40.600 what what was that meeting like were you able to um to give dawah to him oh it was it was an

00:54:45.000 official meeting twice and uh we just spoke about you know islam and the beauty of islam and we gave

00:54:50.280 him some material some books some things to read um he was very happy he was uh you know that's the

00:54:56.920 first time i saw him smiling he never smiles in front of the camera so that was good that was good

00:55:02.680 yeah but i'm in contact with his brother more subhanallah yeah me too yeah he's cool i think

00:55:10.040 in a weird way his brother is more religious than him you think so i don't know maybe it's uh

00:55:15.400 because tristan is really interested in geopolitics world affairs religion he really likes to read

00:55:20.600 andrew's very against reading yeah it's a waste of time but tristan likes to yeah yeah

00:55:25.400 yeah yeah what do we go i think it's uh it's that way that way yes around the corner

00:55:36.840 so who what triggered you into into accepting was it a person you just read and i was reading

00:55:43.400 the malcolm x autobiography when i was about 12 13 my dad gave me this book and you can see i have the

00:55:50.040 same twitter account from when i was like 10 12 and there's this tweet up of me saying like reading

00:55:55.080 the malcolm x autobiography maybe want to become a muslim but back then i didn't i was i thought

00:56:00.120 elijah muhammad was the prophet you know i said i believed in the nation of islam yeah but no actually

00:56:05.640 what really made me resonate with it was the fact that malcolm x denounced his racism he was a racist

00:56:11.320 for most of his his working career until he's whites you mean yeah he was he he hated white people and

00:56:17.480 he was uh pro segregation and then he went to mecca and that really inspired my trip the first umadar

00:56:22.280 trip seeing how that that changes perspective and he wrote this letter and i made a video called

00:56:27.480 letter from mecca inspired by that he made this this letter from mecca writing to his uh to the nation

00:56:32.760 of islam saying that this is where true peace is where you know a white man i was eating with a white

00:56:37.720 man you know a white man gave me a hotel room to stay in and i didn't feel there's no racism here it's

00:56:42.600 true peace and true islam is that it's beautiful we're all god's creation tell me something do you

00:56:50.280 do you think uh the uae you've been in the ua a couple of times yeah third or fourth time third

00:56:55.160 or fourth time and you've been to to saudi you think they're muslim countries

00:57:01.240 i guess but i was going to ask you that well what defines a muslim country

00:57:04.120 the ruler is muslim and you see the rituals of islam public

00:57:11.480 this is this is a good topic of uh conversation let's sit down um

00:57:16.680 assalamu alaikum um we can sit outside too can we speak to tom for for permission or is that okay

00:57:22.840 yeah do you know him pretty well i know i think he's here maybe yeah he'd be okay with it

00:57:33.800 this is his employees yeah his brother's right here

00:57:44.040 i think we should be fine yeah okay cool looks like it looks what i mean he looks like him yeah

00:57:51.320 i didn't even know that was his brother i guess he said it's his brother i trained with him yesterday

00:57:55.000 that was who i was sitting pads with yeah perfect okay let's sit right here it's perfect

00:58:03.800 yeah i wish table's good in your opinion there somewhere away from the music

00:58:28.920 loud is it too loud director will tell us i think it's okay i think it's okay where do you want to

00:58:35.560 sit um yeah sit here sit here

00:58:42.040 keep it at an angle so that he's uh centered

00:58:46.680 you're a perfectionist no but i just maybe i am let me put this here actually so cover anything

00:58:54.440 yeah are we good turn the light on

00:59:09.240 turn the light on bro the light

00:59:13.560 so you're asking me um what would you define a muslim country

00:59:17.400 i guess uh if the ruler is muslim and he's i mean are the muslim rulers here are they imposing sharia

00:59:25.000 law part of it what is sharia do you guys want anything just some waters please some waters do you

00:59:31.000 want some food no i'm okay for now i'll wait after yeah because just some waters please and a turkish

00:59:36.280 coffee please one turkish coffee cola cola zero please oh i'm supposed to be boycotting

00:59:43.240 am i supposed to be boycotting in this video oh come on

00:59:47.160 of course you get cola man i didn't even pick up on that stuff for a lot

00:59:53.320 coke zero yeah thanks turkish coffee for me no coke for me i'm boycotting

00:59:59.400 um yeah that's a good question what do you consider an islamic country i guess a country that's

01:00:03.480 predominantly muslim because you would say uh the united states was founded on christian values

01:00:09.080 you could see it all over them uh all over the what's the word for it um the constitution it's

01:00:16.600 all yeah they say in god we trust on the currency um it's a bit secular now but yeah it's been and

01:00:21.960 the president does have to swear on the bible there's lots of christian traditions so i would say

01:00:25.880 like the the countries in the middle east region that are predominantly muslim um i would say if it's

01:00:31.800 predominantly muslim it's a muslim country yeah but you mentioned something very interesting this is

01:00:36.520 a lot of your i think a lot of people who follow you and a lot of people online have this misconceptions

01:00:43.080 you said you said sharia law what is sharia law if you ask these things like what is what do you

01:00:47.400 mean by sharia law is islamic law it doesn't it say in the quran that sharia law is uh the imposing

01:00:53.000 islamic law yes absolutely sharia law people have the misconception that sharia law is like terrorism

01:00:58.440 but it's not i don't know but sharia law is a very very general term like what do we mean by

01:01:04.840 like how do i apply sharia law what is it like punishments through force yeah huh i guess through

01:01:12.200 force yeah that's it that's sharia law no there's a there's a lot of other ways sharia law is um

01:01:16.760 through laws and through rules being just being fair to the people and yes there is a part of it that is

01:01:23.160 punishments people who steal people who fornicate people who drink alcohol things like that that's

01:01:28.760 there what percentage of sharia law makes you a muslim

01:01:36.360 as a country as a country yeah some idiots sorry to say they say you have to be 100 percent

01:01:43.000 or else you're not muslim you're not a muslim country and i say then by your analogy nobody's

01:01:49.080 muslim throughout history before the after the sahaba nobody's muslim nobody applied sharia

01:01:54.680 100 after the sahaba so what are you saying see how problematic that is just like you as a muslim

01:02:01.000 are you applying islam 100 no i strive to be i should nobody is i should be that means perfection

01:02:08.280 well no muslim is perfect but islam is perfect we strive to be absolutely we never will be of course

01:02:13.960 but we try to do what we can if we don't apply islam in our lives all of it are we non-muslim

01:02:21.400 no we're muslim but we're sinners we're we have short comes shortfalls whatever same thing with

01:02:26.920 countries it's a muslim country the ruler is muslim the people are muslim the rituals are there you can

01:02:32.360 see the rituals public ramadan is there masajid eid the rulers come and pray with us what more do you

01:02:39.880 want you want umar and abu bakar to come here and rule it's not going to happen this is what islam is

01:02:45.720 yes we have short comes we have short we have things like that but a muslim country these people

01:02:50.600 they have that grudge and hate against them because they've been infused by this extremist ideology

01:02:55.880 either 100 or you're not a muslim this is the khawarij have you heard that term before no so the

01:03:02.840 people who came and they are the extremists this is the extreme ideology which they say that either apply

01:03:08.840 sharia all of it or you're none of it yeah yeah or or that you're not considered a muslim you're not

01:03:13.560 considered a muslim country and like i said this is problematic nobody's muslim then and this is why

01:03:19.320 they say if you're not muslim you're a kafir and you deserve death and you deserve harm i'm trying to

01:03:23.800 understand the argument so is the argument that sharia law means that you should boycott are we going back

01:03:28.920 to the boycott thing no i'm trying to understand like because it seems like there's um there's an argument

01:03:33.400 that i'm not sure what the other side is how do you what do you mean your argument of sharia law where is that

01:03:38.040 coming from from from the from the scholars from the ulama from everybody all the scholars that i've

01:03:43.960 known they say this they say sharia law if it's applied a portion of it or what or believe that it

01:03:52.520 is just believe believe that sharia law is the predominant that is the top law and rule that should

01:03:59.640 be ruled by then you're a muslim if a muslim says sharia law is equal to man law same same god's law my

01:04:11.080 law same no you're not a muslim if you say my rule is better than allah's rule obviously that's a no

01:04:19.000 brainer you're not a muslim so that's what difference distinguishes these people the extremists and there's

01:04:25.160 a lot of them who embrace this ideology or follow this path they say your rulers believe that their

01:04:31.080 ruling is better than allah's rule i say how where did you did you sit with them did you speak to them

01:04:36.040 did they tell you that no it's just because their actions are like that that means that so no no that's

01:04:41.560 not true actions just like what you were saying you're saying you said christ is king but you don't

01:04:47.640 mean christ is king no halas you're not you're a muslim i can't take you out of the folds of islam

01:04:51.880 because of the statement you said same thing with people they do apply they do sometimes they violate

01:04:57.000 the rules of islam but that doesn't make them non-muslim they make them sinners maybe jahil

01:05:02.120 ignorant they don't know and many other assumptions we can have but if he somebody says if you now see

01:05:08.440 christ is can you say yes christ is the king of kings yeah i don't have an excuse for you right i have

01:05:13.240 to explain first to you no this is wrong and you say no no i want to believe that and i believe that

01:05:18.280 thank you inshallah you're too arabic it's like turkish coffee and i'm the americanized

01:05:25.480 we should be drinking the opposite drinks right now tables have turned huh hey where are you going

01:05:29.640 okay he's about to boycott it you're not drinking that thanks bro

01:05:36.520 so so i was doesn't make sense it does i'm trying to figure out the reason that you bring up um

01:05:46.520 this issue of sharia law

01:05:50.680 because because you've sat down with people who believe that and i just

01:05:56.840 this is a deviance in islam when you believe muslims are non-muslims and so i just want to make

01:06:03.960 sure that you have been you haven't been tainted with this nonsense with what with yeah there's no

01:06:09.800 muslim countries but there's no muslim countries yeah these are these are not muslim they're muslim

01:06:13.400 people but there's not a muslim country because there's a lot of things that apply based on this

01:06:18.280 ideology if there's not a muslim country then i don't have i don't have to obey the ruler

01:06:21.720 it becomes like america you don't have to do hijrah america here is everything see what i mean

01:06:27.720 do you believe in free speech to a certain extent

01:06:33.080 so you're not a free speech absolutist no absolutely it's a destruction to society okay

01:06:38.040 where does free speech begin and end it begins where allah tells us to begin and stops where

01:06:44.280 allah tells us to stop okay anything that allah tells us to not get into involved in and i stop here

01:06:51.720 so i don't give me an example and maybe i can we can be practical about it if the rulers are going

01:06:58.440 against what's in the quran sunnah should we should we speak up against that publicly what's that publicly

01:07:05.720 publicly yeah no publicly same rule applies if i speak publicly what will that change so you don't

01:07:11.720 believe in free speech to that to that no okay that's political free speech no it's against islam

01:07:17.880 political free speech is against islam yes okay with regards to my ruler or muslim rulers i want

01:07:25.160 to be specific not anything but with regards to rulers talking about rulers this is a no-no and this

01:07:31.960 is not like a disputed matter some of you say oh yeah yeah but it's a disputed matter some

01:07:35.880 ulema says no it's ijma ijma means consensus imam ahmad imam malik imam shafi imam every single

01:07:43.960 scholar prominent scholar most of them they said that small portion of them said otherwise but this

01:07:49.800 is not counted it's not eligible to consider what they said because the quran and the sunnah and the

01:07:55.560 sahaba all agreed upon this that in order for you to maintain peace and sovereignty and the safety of

01:08:02.280 people we cannot go against rulers if they do unjust things go and give them nasiha don't give

01:08:07.720 them sorry uh advice in secret or in private then you can then this is what can fulfill uh the benefit

01:08:15.720 one situation that can maybe be tricky some of the scholars they've written in their books it is allowed

01:08:21.880 to give public advice to the ruler in certain scenarios how like where for example you're a ruler

01:08:29.000 and you're playing i'm sorry can i give an example sure it's fine it's just an example so you're doing

01:08:34.760 something you're drinking alcohol and you're the ruler and i'm a citizen yeah i'm being i'm under you

01:08:40.680 if i see you live doing a munkar a haram thing i can give you advice because you're here you're now

01:08:48.760 but i don't go behind your back and give you advice and you talk behind your publicly ah this guy's

01:08:53.720 drinking alcohol so in that context if it's in public and you meet him and you get to see the

01:08:58.280 munkar uh the the wrongdoing you give him advice and this is public it's considered as public this

01:09:03.000 is what the scholars have said these extremists they take this out of context they say ha see

01:09:09.240 the scholars say that you can't give them advice in public said no no but in a specific context it's

01:09:14.840 not just generally you just go and talk on social media and all that because that doesn't bring any

01:09:19.720 benefit but then how would the average person like me how am i ever going to be able to communicate

01:09:23.480 with the islamic ruler i'm never going to be able to be able to talk to him privately speak to

01:09:28.920 somebody who can there are scholars there are people who under him advisors if you cannot maintain

01:09:34.600 that channel or that communication then you don't have to do it why do you have to it's not you know

01:09:40.280 we're not here to save the world right there are certain things that we yeah it's not out of it's

01:09:46.440 out of our authority and reach and allah did not burden you with it so it's not an obligation on you

01:09:52.920 we're not here to save the world you said as a person are we supposed to do as much as we can to

01:09:58.200 try to help the world in your search group right like for example i'll tell you now i have to save

01:10:03.640 the world go to gaza is that a smart thing to do no exactly i'm not here to say though in that context

01:10:10.360 but in your area you have money give charity i have knowledge i give knowledge and so on with your

01:10:16.760 reach and so people who have reach to rulers you have to give them advice have to why are you under

01:10:25.720 them you're being hypocrite you're seeing the ruler doing mistakes and all that and you don't give him

01:10:28.920 advice give him advice but us if we don't reach and we cannot reach it's not out of our reach don't

01:10:34.600 give them advice this is in a nutshell what they call me madhali for because i have this

01:10:40.920 this uh methodology into dealing with rulers i'm not paid i'm not anything

01:10:47.800 there's a lot of people who are like me the scholars who are like me they accuse me of being

01:10:51.480 paid by the saudi government all the time they say um the zionists will get on twitter and social

01:10:58.200 media the islamophobes will say uh snico's paid off by the saudi government to indoctrinate the

01:11:02.920 western youth to spread islam but it's just i just i mean i'm doing it for free no if i if they wanted to

01:11:09.000 give me money to do what i think is right then i would take it but i'm not getting paid um so you

01:11:14.280 feel what i feel yeah so you get criticized for but then how do you know that these rulers are

01:11:21.240 because okay again and you've established this too no muslim is perfect correct so the rulers are not

01:11:27.080 going to be perfect of course i never said they are i never said in my life so we should submit to

01:11:31.560 their imperfections no submit to the things that they do good what about the bad what about the

01:11:39.400 bad well like what he's a ruler is allowing alcohol in his country should i go drink no

01:11:46.120 no ruler is uh has riba banks should i go use riba usury no it's as simple as that

01:11:55.720 ruler imposed that you have to work seven days a week is that haram or halal that's neutral

01:12:00.600 do it the prophet said hadith obey the rulers in your hardships and ease in your likes and dislikes

01:12:09.480 he said unless he orders you to sin then don't listen and obey don't listen and obey in that

01:12:19.880 thing don't say ah i've nullified my obedience to you as a matter of fact there's a hadith of the

01:12:25.400 prophet says if you die and you don't have allegiance to your ruler in things that are

01:12:35.240 permissible then you will die an ignorant death

01:12:38.120 why why is the prophet saying does the prophet want you to allow sin no but the prophet is weighing

01:12:45.880 in the harms and the benefits of things in society so yes sometimes you would see sin but if you cannot

01:12:51.960 change it then don't cause more harm and cause sin to spread or harm to the people spread so he says

01:12:59.160 you know be political and diplomatic about it and be smart about it just like in the time of mecca

01:13:06.120 didn't the prophet see the sahaba getting tortured and killed did he say something no

01:13:12.680 kept quiet one of the sahaba they barbecued him they put him his body on coal crisped his back

01:13:23.560 and beat him bilal ibn rabaha the the slave they tied his leg and dragged him on the streets with a

01:13:30.760 camel and they put a big rock on his head on his chest and khabbab went to the prophet with his

01:13:37.480 burnt back says oh messenger of allah can you just do dua for us he said have patience you're being very

01:13:46.680 you're being very hasty

01:13:50.040 why would the prophet say that does he allow this to happen no but he cannot do anything

01:13:54.440 sumaya al-yasir the first martyr in islam a woman abu jahl may allah curse him he stabbed her in her

01:14:02.040 private parts until she died tortured her and then killed her like that in such a gruesome way imagine

01:14:07.400 you see that film today what will that happen what will happen to you you'll be enraged and the prophet

01:14:12.680 saw her and he said patience oh people of yasir have patience you'll get jannah you'll get paradise

01:14:21.160 like why did the prophet because he said i cannot do anything now and so the muslim have to weigh in

01:14:26.280 the harms and the benefits today some idiots they say oh why don't you just go to war why don't you

01:14:31.240 say this why don't you say that i said i can't nobody can stop talking like a kid that's what i hate

01:14:37.400 about some muslims some muslims they talk with emotions and muslim fundamentally should be all about

01:14:45.400 daleel hadith quran sunnah this is the submission that i'm talking about this is when tawheed plays

01:14:49.720 part not your emotions this is why they some kaffir guy burns himself they say he's a martyr

01:14:54.600 because people are getting killed in in ghaza and of course i condemn it this is my brothers man

01:14:59.240 i'm a believer i'm a muslim who in his right mind would allow or accept such thing gruesome things to

01:15:04.600 happen but i say i cannot do anything and you cannot do anything no but you got to speak and speak and say

01:15:10.760 what and is that going to change anything no so just shut your mouth man do do out to your people to

01:15:16.760 your brothers if there are official channels for charity give charity give all your money to charity

01:15:21.880 but don't be an idiot don't let me talk things maybe i'll get harmed you're gonna bail me out later

01:15:27.880 no so you know don't play the rambo or the brave part part because nobody's gonna save me the social

01:15:34.440 media mob they're the filthiest of people i'm talking about the people who are trying to cause

01:15:39.480 fitna not everyone they're the filthiest of people which people on social the people who

01:15:43.560 you know they they attack cancel culture the haram police okay you know all these people they just

01:15:48.920 attack you with no brains no knowledge no etiquette no manners they call you a zionist or they what do

01:15:55.320 they call you who me yeah they said i'm paid off by the saudi government you're paid off by no but

01:15:59.160 that's the zionist saying that that's not muslim saying that the mob same concept yeah same kind

01:16:03.000 they accuse you of things you're not the muslim people you are a dirty muslim you are this you need

01:16:08.120 to do this you're doing haram you're the kafir he said christ is king he's out of the force

01:16:12.120 there's no overall muslims have been pretty gracious to me besides like the the haram police

01:16:16.600 it's just like annoying things like they'll look at my armpit hair or they'll like sneaker no music

01:16:20.840 like don't go collab with these creators go live in shaykh utman's basement you know like i don't

01:16:25.560 want to i'm not going to go and live in an islamic library i'm not going to live in a mosque like

01:16:29.080 let's be realistic but overall people the islamic community has been really gracious and really

01:16:32.840 welcoming uh inviting and they they seem to to care there's like a overall i can sense that there's a

01:16:38.520 a lot of empathy let's see after this video what's gonna happen i'm just joking after just

01:16:43.880 started filling your leg overall you know what i mean like there are these people yeah who just

01:16:48.520 attack senselessly and i'm i'm facing the same thing alhamdulillah man i don't care i'm just doing

01:16:53.160 my thing and what do you see the future of the uae you're an emirati correct what do you see the

01:16:59.080 do you recommend westerners to come here or do you want american reverts to come over here or do you

01:17:04.120 guys want to keep it because it's pretty hard to get it's almost impossible to get a citizenship

01:17:07.960 you're probably the first like emirati that i've ever i got to sit down and talk to oh yeah yeah

01:17:12.600 everyone else that i've met here they're they're all expats okay cool uh so there's a couple shakes

01:17:18.760 a couple likes you know some but i would say um students of knowledge yeah yeah yeah emiratis yeah i

01:17:25.800 don't know that many emiratis okay that's cool it is it is kind of hard but um it's for a reason

01:17:33.800 we don't want we don't want um when people who come here have a purpose this is the the philosophy

01:17:40.680 or the policy of the uae that you come here and you add to society yeah actually just don't come

01:17:45.320 here and be a bum makes sense because if you do that drugs crime the place is going to be the idle

01:17:51.480 mind is the devil's playground so if you're doing nothing and being a degenerate then you're going to

01:17:55.480 make the place worse they want people who are focused and doing something positive it's as

01:17:58.760 simple as that so people who come here that makes very much welcome you're my home my home is your

01:18:03.880 home but have something give value you're a doctor you're an entrepreneur you have a business you're

01:18:08.280 an employee any anything that adds value you get a visa working visa come stay you want to study here

01:18:13.640 come study here get a visa but everything is in process but some countries as you know they don't

01:18:18.600 have this process anybody comes and yallah come sits and they does crime they sell drugs it's crazy man

01:18:23.640 immigration destroys a country pretty quickly like mass immigration absolutely that's why america's

01:18:28.600 going down quickly that's why japan's doing so well is because they limit the amount of immigration

01:18:32.920 so i understand i'm starting to understand your your perspective about because like what does the

01:18:38.520 average person really know politically like what what are they really going to be able to do to push

01:18:43.000 the the country forward like do i agree with everything that uh that any ruler is doing absolutely not

01:18:48.280 uh but obviously they know a lot of things politically and financially and they're playing

01:18:53.080 games that that the average person is never going to be aware of so yeah i do understand your respect

01:18:57.800 i don't agree completely but what do you recommend when uh one of americans coming here do you recommend

01:19:02.760 people come here sometimes i look at this as like a muslim stronghold away from everything all the

01:19:07.400 shit down in the west do you recommend people come here absolutely but don't go to haram places

01:19:11.560 yeah there are haram places you don't go to them yeah it's like the las vegas in the middle east in

01:19:16.600 dubai parts of it by the way parts of it a lot of parts in the ua alhamdulillah it's it's very

01:19:22.440 beautiful conservative very beautiful very friendly safe safe everywhere clean yeah yeah and so go to

01:19:29.640 these places a lot of people come here they go to the haram places to stay out of them yeah you can

01:19:33.480 avoid it like during ram and i we've been here maybe like almost a week and we haven't we don't go to

01:19:37.480 wrong places and it's been a good experience just gym work we'll go to the majid and it's safe you

01:19:43.080 know what time is it now past midnight past midnight i think in in certain places in the west you can't

01:19:49.080 stay it's going to be dangerous i would have my head on a swivel and i would have my gun on my hip

01:19:52.760 like right now if we're in the west in the same exact situation wow here you can i can my wife can

01:19:57.880 leave the house now and drive around in dubai i don't i don't worry about it alhamdulillah by the

01:20:02.120 grace of allah and he protects her what more do you want safety is the the the the most important

01:20:07.800 thing in life if you want to even practice religion i've been to countries in the west they say after

01:20:12.600 6 pm don't leave the hotel it's dangerous don't leave and it's like one of the most developed

01:20:17.240 countries in the world don't mention names but when i look at this and i look back at my country and say

01:20:23.000 subhanallah i'm living in paradise man paradise on earth i have everything safety good place islam

01:20:29.640 why you know i appreciate what i have alhamdulillah so i do recommend muslims reverse come come to the

01:20:36.760 ua the services are great the place is safe you can practice your religion freely you can do whatever

01:20:41.720 you want and what do you think of the future of these places looks like do you think they're gonna

01:20:46.040 continue to try to appease to westerners it seems like that's that's been the criticism is that you

01:20:51.320 know like oh they're serving alcohol blah blah blah do you see the future positive or

01:20:58.680 do you think that they're they're adjusting too much to western values i think i think the leaders

01:21:03.240 here are very very smart they're playing a game that it's way ahead of me but i can understand

01:21:09.880 what's going on today if you want to be this is my interpretation i could be wrong huh today if you

01:21:14.760 want to be a power in the world you have to have a strong economy yeah you have to have investments

01:21:21.800 economy you have to have some kind of value into the world and impact because you're up against the

01:21:26.920 wealthiest families for generations and generations it's gonna you have to play the economy game so if

01:21:31.720 you don't play that you're gonna be weak muslims are gonna be weak you're right and it just rolls out

01:21:37.080 so yes i'm not justifying huh i'm not justifying selling alcohol is a major sin drinking alcohol is

01:21:42.360 a major sin any other harams in islam i confirm it completely and i don't justify these things but

01:21:50.200 they're playing a game i don't know yeah haram stays haram halal stays haram in the end allah may

01:21:57.800 allah reward them for the things they do for the benefit of the umma for the benefit of the muslims

01:22:02.520 and may allah forgive them for the sins they do and forgive us of course also for the sins they do

01:22:06.840 this is my approach to life this is my approach towards the leaders and rulers they're my muslim brothers

01:22:11.400 first and they're my muslim rulers second i deal with them in a very positive way very

01:22:16.840 way that brings more benefit than harm this is what i think people who live in the west they don't

01:22:22.520 have rulers muslim rulers and so they don't understand that concept that's why they're like

01:22:29.400 what ruler i'll obey the ruler mean i obey biden i obey whatever so i'm not talking about that but

01:22:34.840 you haven't lived in a muslim country to feel what i felt bro i get free health care i get people

01:22:42.840 looking after me when it comes to jobs i get zakat if i'm out of job my my my father was diagnosed with

01:22:52.280 with cancer and this is for all muslim not only me he got treated for free in singapore one of the best

01:22:57.960 hospitals in the world then he came back and then he suffered from kidney failure and until today for 10

01:23:03.880 years he gets dialysis every other day each dialysis is about 300 each for 10 years free of charge

01:23:13.160 i get free education my kids get free education my wife when she gives birth it's free

01:23:19.320 what more do i want and you want me to go again why the rulers have been very good to me

01:23:24.120 i you want me to because they didn't they did some mistakes i disagree with or they did some mistake

01:23:28.440 you want me to ruin my relationship with my rulers you have to understand in islam rulers and and and

01:23:33.240 people they have a bond together they're like a father when your father does a mistake you don't

01:23:40.280 you know you don't hey go to the people in the neighbors hey my dad is doing a mistake what is

01:23:59.240 muslim god he's uh anyways i don't want to talk about i'm banned from the u.s are you yeah why i

01:24:05.560 don't know the officer there said in in orlando he said i don't know maybe he's truthful or not

01:24:12.360 but he said because of my content because your content wow it caught me at the airport i was

01:24:17.640 going to uh wait am i gonna be am i okay yeah yeah you're fine inshallah i think

01:24:22.040 wow i did not know that i reached orlando airport and it was economy it was terrible flight

01:24:30.760 and uh because i was i was going to uh i was going to a conference i work in rehab rehab for for drug

01:24:38.360 addiction yeah so there was a an annual conference in in was it miami or florida i can't remember but

01:24:45.240 so i reached and i had a paper like a government paper because i work for the the center that i work

01:24:50.680 in the rehab center it's a government sector so it's funded by the government and we help the

01:24:54.360 drug addicts and all that so i was going there with like a government letter that this guy is

01:24:58.200 going to be in the u.s he wants to attend the conference he's not here for tourism whatever

01:25:01.640 don't worry i got my visa and as soon as i had stepped in orlando airport the guy took my phone

01:25:07.400 the officer and he said this way please i walk inside and i see a lot of uh sorry is that okay to

01:25:14.040 say like spanish people and mexicans yeah that's fine yeah yeah and i'm just sitting there what's going

01:25:19.480 on and i was like dressed like an american you know yeah my jumper my snap it was you and a bunch

01:25:24.280 of like home depot illegal immigrants yeah i think i don't know what this means but it's fine i guess

01:25:28.760 so yeah and so they were questioning me for five hours what do you know about al-qaeda what what you

01:25:35.560 know about this what you know about that and i'm like what what are you talking about i think it's a

01:25:39.800 beard yeah but the guy with me had a bigger beard yeah he let go he went in was he muslim yeah yeah he was

01:25:46.760 my boss it's like a beard this big yeah but he didn't speak english hey i'm not used to that

01:25:51.320 stereotype like that really would affect you like warner for example we go in the airport he's like

01:25:55.400 oh wow you're wearing a thobe like i'm just i like my though it was comfortable the moroccan

01:25:59.160 thobe is very nice because muslims are used to that that stereotype and the scrutiny of going to an

01:26:04.440 airport and like having to cross the border and be a muslim publicly i was expecting it it was my

01:26:09.160 first time in the u.s and how long ago was this six years ago and so they strip they strip search

01:26:15.400 me but i kept my boxers and i'm like guys i just came from the airplane like i can't smuggle

01:26:20.120 anything yeah like what am i gonna hi big guys they're nice they're very very like respectful guys

01:26:25.880 they were i think they were mexicans and so they they searched me and then they requested me

01:26:30.440 for five hours with cameras and everything and i'm like wow i feel important man well it was five

01:26:35.160 six years ago yeah so yeah i guess trump's time yeah yeah that's okay that makes sense now then

01:26:40.840 after the five hours and they put me in a cell and i slept there for a couple of hours i think

01:26:45.640 like something like that and then i was let out and said you can't go and and there is no airplane

01:26:51.560 flight to go take you back to dubai so we're gonna have to take you to jail what yeah and then i'm

01:26:56.280 like he's got arrested for being a muslim yeah i don't know but they said because of my content

01:27:01.000 what do you think you said that got him i don't know i said i said my content is in english and

01:27:04.520 you can understand what i'm saying do they bring up anything specific no it's very funny that i've

01:27:09.320 been defending free speech and then you go to the free speech land and then you don't have it yeah

01:27:12.680 you got arrested for having free speech that's i just went back i know i'm worried about supporting

01:27:17.160 you right now i'm like i really want to go home after this ramadan no no that's fine i got a lot

01:27:22.440 of people from the u.s who met me yeah don't worry about it wow i didn't expect that at all yeah so

01:27:28.520 so you think the ban is lifted huh is the ban lifted it was five years so you're good to go i think i'm good to go

01:27:34.200 you don't need to why would you go back now after that sort of disrespect yeah after that i said

01:27:38.280 whatever i'm just gonna go back to my country whatever i don't need this alhamdulillah

01:27:43.960 wow so i wonder why i want to figure out what it was specifically me too i'm dying to know but

01:27:49.320 they took my phone they opened it like you know they just look through your phone yeah yeah how to do

01:27:53.400 that i don't know man i was i was just being cooperative i'm i'm in a state of weakness and i got

01:27:59.000 nothing to say what am i going to say right so i was just being cooperative i'm smiling talking whatever you

01:28:03.160 don't want to end up in guantanamo bay exactly just want to go back home you know

01:28:09.000 alhamdulillah it was an experience and the lady there was very um supportive she actually cried

01:28:14.360 when i left really yeah she's like oh i'm so sorry i could have you know i i wanted to help you but i

01:28:19.480 couldn't and she like started tearing i said it's okay i'd hug you but i'm muslim but you know

01:28:25.560 and then i just left alhamdulillah it's all good well how's this ramadan going this is uh you grew up on

01:28:30.200 muslim obviously right yeah yeah so you're used to you're used to fasting all this i'm really

01:28:34.600 curious to hear about muslim's perspective because it's my first one and i'm really taking it seriously

01:28:39.160 but how's it going it's beautiful alhamdulillah it's very nice it's it's a recharge for your

01:28:43.640 faith and your belief your iman because you know you you've sensed the the the spirituality in the air

01:28:51.400 subhanallah in ramadan and uh you know prayers and you're not you're fasting you're trying to stay

01:28:56.440 away from haram you're trying to stay from insults bad things whatever so it really cleans you from

01:29:00.600 inside you come out you know like wow that was that was like a refresh kind of thing but what

01:29:05.960 about you and the hunger part is like whatever i was starving today you you were today was brutal

01:29:10.200 because it's hard to just like stay up for sahur and get food and and every it's been it's been

01:29:14.920 difficult but uh you know i don't want to i don't want to complain subhanallah and you start you you

01:29:18.920 fasted all the month the whole month so far yeah yeah haven't missed uh haven't missed a minute

01:29:22.920 what's your what's your iftar like um it's been we've been here for a couple years yeah well the

01:29:28.280 past three days we ate here at this restaurant tom khan has been really been a great host in london

01:29:33.320 we got to meet with a lot of people and it's been good it's been a lot of a lot of brothers a lot of

01:29:37.400 good conversation but the thing is i'm very i'm streaming a lot so a lot of time when it's iftar time

01:29:42.600 that's when all them everybody wants to talk so it's like i'm not getting to focus on my food as much

01:29:47.000 as i am on the stream um but it's been good it's it's really strengthened my faith yeah i'm glad

01:29:53.080 that i've been able to do it so far uh i want to ask you advice on on finding a wife you know people

01:29:59.160 are always asking about this are you married are you married uh you know i'm 25 which is about how

01:30:02.840 old do you can i ask you how old are you when you got married 25 you're 25 mashallah i'm not now now i'm

01:30:07.960 42. okay 25 got married right right i understand um i have um i don't know if it's imposter syndrome

01:30:16.840 because i'm a new muslim i'm coming from the shaytan world i want to give myself more time to focus on

01:30:21.080 the dean you know and really make sure that i'm that i deserve i'm deserving of a good muslim wife

01:30:26.360 before i just get married because you know i'm getting propositioned and you know i have money and

01:30:30.760 stuff like that and status i'd rather get married because i'm a good muslim and not because i'm a rich guy

01:30:36.360 and not because uh i'm known and because it's going to be a good marriage based off of finances

01:30:41.640 um do you do you recommend that uh what overall question like what advice would you get to a young

01:30:48.680 man who's looking to get married especially revert when you get married apply sharia yeah yeah don't

01:30:57.640 just get married because how she looks looks are good please don't marry someone who looks like shrek

01:31:03.000 no no marry someone who appeals to you beautiful wife you're very attractive attracted or you're

01:31:09.480 attracted to her but that element of religion must be there religion as the prophet said it

01:31:16.520 completes half your religion or it can destroy your other half if you don't choose right don't think

01:31:21.800 oh she's a muslim girl and her hijab hijab is nah but she's so hot she's good looking whatever i'm

01:31:27.720 gonna marry no no no wrong see how her deen is babe what is the deen that i have to look for

01:31:34.200 the prophet made it very simple for you he said anybody any wife who prays her prayers fast her month

01:31:41.640 and protects her and he covers up covers up hijab and the club is optional better better much better

01:31:50.440 yeah because we got crazy people out here yeah in the world but the club is better and fourth obeys her

01:31:56.840 husband there's no democracy in marriage so you are the ruler i understand the comparison now so

01:32:06.440 obey the rulers of muslim countries the way a wife obeys her husband yeah man because then the ship won't

01:32:11.640 sail yeah i'm telling you okay so but you also be just don't be a tyrant you also apply allah's rule with

01:32:20.200 your family when it comes to you her give her give her advice in a nice way support her financially

01:32:26.840 emotionally sexually all these things you have to do it yeah and that's how you build love love doesn't

01:32:33.400 come before marriage i gotta fall in love too this is hollywood nonsense yeah love comes it's not love

01:32:38.760 it's it's just interest you appeal to me that's not love love comes after in hardships when you live with

01:32:45.720 her and you see her truly true color she sees you and then you say this is a good man she's a good

01:32:51.720 woman that's love trust mercy tolerance that's how allah said so this is love this nonsense love that

01:33:02.280 we see in hollywood this is this will destroy your life today today muslims have high rate of divorce

01:33:07.640 because of that because they've been infused with the with the westernized secular way of design is

01:33:13.400 controlled hollywood yeah so let's fall in love let's test drive and then we'll get married this

01:33:19.640 is you ruined your life yeah anyways let's not talk about that but so so this is what you have to do

01:33:26.920 and find that wife who prays and covers up and pray and fast and obeys her husband find her through

01:33:35.240 connections don't just pick up a stranger because you don't know you need to do a background check yeah

01:33:40.760 yeah would you recommend a woman that wants to wear hijabi with because of her husband or should

01:33:47.320 it be should a hijabi woman be wearing it for the sake of allah yeah submit to allah your hijab is your

01:33:54.440 submission to allah you have to love it what if i find a girl that's that's you know she's she's making

01:33:59.480 her prayers and everything like that but she doesn't wear hijabi but she wants to wear hijabi for me

01:34:02.600 what do you mean for you you can be a reason but it has to be for allah fine i'll wear hijabi when

01:34:09.720 i get married but but she has to be serious about it i mean i'm sorry maybe you're like kind of neutral

01:34:15.080 about hijab but i would prefer it i would prefer i'm not neutral about it i would prefer it yeah but

01:34:20.520 i'm okay at the moment but you know i'm still new i'm finding a girl and she's like she's on her dean

01:34:25.800 but she's not wearing hijabi and then she starts wearing it to get married i don't know is that liberal

01:34:29.160 she if she restricts like if she like i said she'll wear hijab after she gets married but you

01:34:35.480 would be a reason for her to wear hijab she's not doing it only for your sake okay that's wrong

01:34:39.240 he's doing it for the sake of allah yeah intention remember in acts of worship so it has to have the

01:34:43.560 right intention so this is i think any what a muslim woman a good muslim wife should be and i think you

01:34:50.040 can find them in the u.s there's mashallah a lot of brothers the other day i was giving a lecture in

01:34:54.840 in in some university i forgot the name and this girl was contacting me

01:34:58.840 aisha her name she's like part of the muslim committee there or something community and she's

01:35:03.000 like we want to lecture for uh so and so and all that so i came online and i saw like niqabis

01:35:07.880 like guys are you in america like yeah yeah it's amazing and i really like i almost cried man i

01:35:14.040 saw the the yeah the image i'm like it's beautiful may allah make you firm on your religion in the

01:35:18.600 u.s and you're wearing a full niqab as if she's in saudi may allah bless her well i i did

01:35:23.160 dua for her and all the other sisters that were there what country was this she was in the u.s i was in

01:35:27.720 uh it was on zoom okay okay yeah so i was i was seeing the screen i was looking at them listening

01:35:32.440 to me it was beautiful so you'll find them good people are everywhere you just have to look and

01:35:37.960 and do dua wallahi wallahi sneak off you don't rely on allah on seeking a good wife you will not get

01:35:43.960 a good wife i know a person wallahi he'd do dua for two years two years he didn't find a wife he's

01:35:49.800 looking extensively and he just kept on doing dua wallahi allah gave him he tells me all the time

01:35:54.920 he said wallahi allah gave me a wife i don't think i'll find a wife better than her in my life and he's

01:35:59.720 been with girls and all that and you've seen girls she had his fair share of shaitan acts but he did

01:36:06.600 dua and he searched in the right way in the right direction through the right channels wallahi allah gave

01:36:12.600 him yeah i need a wife that he says this is what i wanted this life so do dua to allah sincerely allah

01:36:19.720 will give you a good wife and the right channels i want to ask you about this too do you think it's um

01:36:26.840 do you think it's okay to ask for things in the dunya when you're when you're asking when you're

01:36:31.480 praying when you make a dua sometimes i when i talk to allah i think about asking him for things like

01:36:37.080 asking for a beautiful wife or asking for things like okay i want to interview this person or you

01:36:42.920 know hello wealth or that my family's successful things like that and then there's a thought in

01:36:47.640 my head like why am i even asking for this i should only be asking to get closer to god don't be a sufi

01:36:52.680 ask ask ask everything who else you're gonna ask if you're not gonna ask allah anything that's halal

01:36:58.760 ask allah the sahaba used to ask allah for the salt in their food the sahaba used to ask allah for

01:37:04.040 their if their slippers are torn they say ask i ask allah to fix my slippers and of course they

01:37:08.120 take the necessary needs backs that's tawhid you know what else who are you gonna ask no you're

01:37:13.880 doing good some people say no don't ask allah dunya things why i'm human i need to live i need to

01:37:18.840 feel happy i need my well-being i need a good wife a lovely wife yes but always condition it

01:37:25.400 if it's good allah give it be careful like the chinese say be careful what you wish for

01:37:31.080 word that's a chinese saying i think it is oh is it i don't know i'm not chinese i know i look it

01:37:36.120 but yeah yeah can i ask that i'm half filipino my dad's half black half white so black white a

01:37:40.920 filipino what's your filipino half my mom's filipino yeah always like that yeah you speak tagalog

01:37:48.600 um i can let's say stuff like i know there's tons of filipinos here in dubai oh yeah it's a big

01:37:54.920 community there's one like right here like standing at the waiter that's walking around i love

01:37:58.040 filipinos they're very very nice people very tolerant very nice most of the muslims here are

01:38:02.200 filipinos people no they revert really easily because they're very religious people yeah because

01:38:06.360 the catholicism is really strong in the philippines you think that's your genes playing accepted islam

01:38:11.320 i guess so i guess so people are saying okay we're good um yeah is there anything that you want to

01:38:17.400 um that you want to tell people anything that you want to direct people to before we end well i think i

01:38:24.680 i think the message that i'll always say it and always be there is that muslims have to educate

01:38:31.000 themselves stop getting involved into things that will not benefit you in life learn about your

01:38:35.640 religion you want to honor you want victory you want happiness the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasalam in

01:38:41.080 the arabian peninsula surrounded by kingdoms and kings and empires the persian the roman the ethiopian

01:38:48.840 and he was alone a shepherd doesn't know how to read doesn't know how to write

01:38:52.120 created the biggest the most strongest kingdom nation in the world in history that will enter

01:38:58.840 paradise inshallah by one statement tawhid and by the right methodology and the right approach

01:39:04.920 muslims have to take that path as umar said if you want honor and you seek honor without islam

01:39:10.680 allah will humiliate you allah chose honor for you in islam take that this is your path as a muslim

01:39:17.080 no left no right how do i seek this honor how do i seek islam educate yourself get connected to the

01:39:22.520 scholars me you islam is about inheritance you're not going to understand islam without the scholars

01:39:30.600 get connected to the right scholars the big scholars and understand your religion and apply it

01:39:36.520 without this nonsense and drama and controversial things in politics keep that aside so don't talk about

01:39:43.000 politics no getting politics and making it islam no islam is involved in everything in life even

01:39:51.320 politics but don't make it a priority you must today muslim they don't know what shahada is

01:39:56.440 wallahi they don't know what shahada is if you ask any muslim what's what is what does la ilaha illallah

01:40:01.320 mean they say there's no creator but god wrong wrong this is not what shahada means you know i think

01:40:07.320 because there's no one worth worth worthy of worship but allah yes a lot of muslim don't

01:40:12.680 understand this concept maybe you don't know this you're getting involved into some branches some

01:40:17.160 politics some this country and that country what good is that why are you wasting your time learn

01:40:22.440 your religion allah will honor you allah will open doors for you see islam the approach to victory

01:40:28.600 and successes life in life it's not from top to bottom it's from bottom to top that's how the prophet

01:40:34.840 built his empire that's how the prophet built islam he came to the people the poor people bilal

01:40:41.640 the slave i don't know his friend his family islam islam tawhid tawhid tawhid tawhid then

01:40:47.320 allah gave him supported him in every way that's what muslims should understand but they don't they

01:40:51.880 play with they just you know act on emotions sad sad things that's why i get called a zionist and and

01:40:58.280 a lot of people get you know get slandered and drama and division and all that because of assumptions and

01:41:04.200 emotions and politics and that's my final message thank you assalamu alaikum i really appreciate you
