the dean show aldah peace be with you
thank you for tuning in to the dean show
there's some crazy stuff going on out
there we have the LAX terrorism attack
that happened recently you have the New
Jersey attack in the mall we're going to
be talking about this and much more with
my next guest actually you got to have
open mind now look look my next guest
who I'm not saying looks identical to
him but will resemble him in his dress
in his beard looks like Jesus peace be
upon Him possibly look look have an open
mind we got so much to talk about all
this crazy stuff and more here on the
dean show we'll be right back this is
thean is the
the this is the D
this is the de
show this is the the
show
the this is
the this is the this is
[Music]
theam peace be with
youum peace with you as well how are you
IM I'm doing great how are you good good
good I hope opened the show and I said
look my next guest resembles Jesus look
in the dress sermon of the mount the
beard all the prophets had beards Jesus
wasn't a white boy okay he was semetic
and have you ever had that told to you
that you you you resemble someone like
uh like Jesus with the beard yeah I have
I remember one time I was actually at
the gym uh playing basketball went into
the locker room and was just washing my
hands and one of the little children
told his father hey father look that guy
looks like
Jesus and he just he just smiled had
nothing else to say besides smileing
good words yeah most people don't know
that we love Jesus Is it true now that
you cannot be one who has submitted
consciously to the creator of the
heavens and earth a Muslim unless you
believe love Jesus that's absolutely
true that's absolutely true that's true
right that's very true that God so loved
the world that he said prophets and
Messengers to guide mankind that's how
God shows his love doesn't he by sending
people like Jes Messengers like Jesus
Moses Abraham the last f and final mess
Prophet Muhammad to guide us that's
that's absolutely correct now you're an
Imam you know the text did did any of
the messengers ever I mean I'm sure you
studied some do some comparative
religion any of them ever called the
Jesus or any of the messengers call
people to worship themselves never never
no they only call to the worship of the
one God so why do you think now when
people see you for instance you know
they attribute okay look what tell this
guy like go back home man go back to
your country and and they don't think
like look Jesus had a beard if he was
one of my guests who was on on the show
the other day he said look if if the TSA
stopped Jesus he would get
detained why do you think people have
you know this it's just ignorance
obviously but you know what would you
say if someone told you to go back home
well the well if someone told me to go
back home number one I wouldn't respond
because as we have one of the uh great
Companions of the Prophet peace and
blessings be upon him who only taught
them the best of morals and ethics that
um he mentioned that better to than to
respond better than responding to who is
ignorant is remaining quiet and not
subscribing to his ignorance and thus
when an individual calls out and says to
go back home it's a clear sign of their
ignorance and that they haven't
understood what me RF kumal and other
Muslims represents number one as human
beings as as Muslims and if they did
they wouldn't say anything like that
because they would recognize the values
and the benefits that the Rel religion
of Islam would could bring to the
society and does bring to the society if
they see uh and are openly looking at
what the Muslims who practice Islam
truly bring to the community so that
that would be my response just no
response and if they would like to
engage in a dialogue then I would engage
in a dialogue peacefully and explain to
them how what they are saying is
incorrect Islam has nothing to do with
what could have possibly provoked that
statement and uh you know try to help
them understand and so that's what I
would do and I would number one not
assume that um that this person is you
know trying to cause violence or trying
to spread Mischief but I also myself
would remind myself to be a practicing
Muslim because as Muslims if we practice
the faith this will only Enlighten the
people's understanding of what Islam
represents and they would never have any
chance to make a statement like that
there are many examples of this I mean
my brother I give example I give an
example of him Mah cuz uh he he's he's
he you used to work at a cafe like I
said I was at I was at a gym when that
whole thing happened lifetime very
famous gym throughout North America or
United States rather so he used to work
at a cafe with many non-muslims and when
the whole thing about Islam preaches
violence or things were being said in
the news his co-workers would look at
what the news is saying and they would
see the news and what they are saying
and they would remember my brother who
I'm by the way a twin my twin brother so
he's say identical twins so they would
say I know him he works with me he's a
Muslim and he's the nicest person I know
Islam definitely doesn't preach that cuz
they're saying Islam preaches violence
but the only thing I know about Islam
from based based upon what a deal shows
me is kindness and compassion and this
is what I know Islam represents so this
is it would just be a reminder to me
first and foremost as well to be a
practicing Muslim so that people can
only have a good impression
understanding of what Islam represents
and if you were to go back home where
would you go back Bowling Brook Illinois
I'll come right back Chicago Illinois
cuz that's where I was born you were
born in Chicago yes so you wouldn't have
to go too far no I wouldn't have to go
too far I just park my car and say I'm
back home already yeah so that's really
ignorance I mean you're telling someone
to go back home who's an American
citizen who was born here who looks like
Jesus so you know it's it's really sad
and and some sad events are are are um
happening you know we had the LAX
shooting you have some right-wing Zealot
who had a a huge Manifesto who wasn't
insane who went and shot up some people
put innocent lives in Jeopardy and we
know that Islam condemns you know the
killing of innocent men women and
children but people always want to link
you know if this was a Muslim people
always want to link you know any kind of
horrific terrorist act anything bad they
label this person as a terrorist but now
we see you know these sad events
happening but the people aren't being
labeled terrorists what are your
thoughts on this well my thoughts are
that number one just as you mentioned
Islam definitely condemns The Taking of
um innocent lives as Allah God mentions
in the Holy Quran
that whoever takes the soul of one
person unjustly or even causes any type
of corruption on the earth it is as if
he is you know he he has killed all of
mankind so even the killing of one
innocent Soul has been equated with
killing all of mankind showing that just
as it would be a great act a great Act
of Injustice to take the life of all of
mankind the lives of all of mankind to
take the life of one individual is just
as unjust in the eyes of Islam so people
um doing this is a very sad thing if we
look in the life of the Prophet Muhammad
peace and blessings be upon him not only
did he show respect for people who are
living he showed respect for the lives
of that Allah that God decided to take
back even one time there was a funeral
prayer and they were bringing it was a
funeral prayer of actually a non-muslim
and um the prophet peace upon him he saw
this funeral prayer taking place so he
stood up and His companion said why are
you standing up and he said because God
gave a life and God take a life and I am
standing to respect the soul that God
took I've heard this narration also and
I believe this person was even a Jew
that's correct is it right the narration
that was a Jew yes that's very that's
correct and he was shown respect for
this exactly exactly so I me that's deep
that's very deep it shows the true
teachings and the pure teachings of
Islam but respecting one another and
even when you look in the when Islam was
most uh purely being implemented the
Muslims were living successfully in a
pluralistic
society in the in the time in in Medina
in in the neighbors of the Muslims were
not necessarily Muslims they were Jews
and the prophet P upon Him often
reminded the Muslims to treat your
neighbors well that just as you have to
treat your brothers well you have to
treat your neighbors well and even to
such an extent that even if you are
cooking food and they can smell the food
that you are cooking that could be a
sign you know people like to eat yeah so
when they when they when they smell good
food even if they're hungry it it you
know it it builds their appetite they
want to it it distracts them for a
moment so just because the food could
have caused that type of distraction to
the neighbors of the Muslims who are
non-muslims uh the Prophet The Prophet P
would say you must give them some of
your food because you distracted them be
kind to them this shows the the ethics
and the moral behavior that Islam
preaches so it's very sad to see that um
events like this taking place in the
news that not only does Islam uh condemn
this and when a Muslim who isn't
practicing Islam does something like
taking innocent lives to see that it is
being labeled as a Muslim practicing
Islam or that Islam preaches this that's
very sad and it's people are being
misinformed because that is not what
Islam represents MH and nor always
saying that they should put their label
on any other religion but uh the fact is
that the person he committed and just
act and you shouldn't put the blame on a
religion but put it on the person who
perform that action which is which is
unjust uh so it's very sad and you know
we ask we ask God to allow us to
understand the True Values of life in
Islam absolutely it's like saying that
you know if Islam represents terrorism
it's kind of making a a comparison like
saying that the KKK represents
Christianity right exactly and which is
yeah so you know any any person with
some Scruples know that's that's not
that's not right so obviously you know
when you meet a Muslim and then you
think like and you reflect and and you
look at like when we started a program
you know we we started with peace be
unto you Jesus greeted his followers
with peace exctly he didn't say what's
up buddy he said shalam peace be with
you and he had a beard just like you and
he was if you go right now and you go to
go to Google and put Jesus Sermon on the
Mount he had what you're wearing now
someone someone say why are you trying
to are you trying to really emulate
Jesus and the prophets well the idea is
is that if we have to take an example of
individuals whom we want to follow what
better example take than that of the
prophets and um as Muslims we respect
and love all prophets including Jesus
peace be upon him when you read the
descriptions of Jesus peace be upon him
we see that a like description is given
of that of this of this garment and
likewise the Garment of the Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him and we
believe that we received guidance we
don't believe we know from the from the
word of God in the Quran that we were
Prophet Muhammad upon was the mode way
we were receive we received guidance so
we love all of his actions and the fact
that he wore a garment like this is very
beloved to us so we like to emulate him
so modesty modesty is is key modesty
okay so there there's that flexibility
in Islam so if you hey if that's your
right you want to dress like that modest
hey most people are dressing in modest
you know what I mean so now to put
someone down because they want to dress
modest and they want to emulate look uh
the prophets that's really an ignorant
thing to do we got some more you're
you're uh we we're going to talk a
little bit more about you so much to
talk about with uh a community leader
memorize the verbatim word of God Imam
Arif here on the dean show we'll be
right back with more don't go anywhere
is that if Jesus himself was to try to
get into JFK airport or rare airport you
got to find out for yourself you got to
read the you got to read the Quran it is
literally the word of God you know with
bushy black hair probably wearing a
jilbab you know a long and I'll tell you
it answers all your questions it does
and that's why Islam is so prevalent in
the world today if you drop me from a
helicopter anywhere in the world in a
parachute unless you want to believe
that human beings by Nature are stupid I
just started going door to door and
shaking people's hands and
saying it would be hard for you to
believe that two billion of them can
choose a religion that is a work of
violence I would eventually find a
Muslim who put their arms around me drag
me into their house and feed me till I
couldn't eat anymore I mean two two
billion people this isn't people yeah
you know how did these people from China
to marania to you know Spain uh we
really need to put purpose to our life
to America Canada Australia Brazil all
over the world Middle East Africa you
know how did all these people the one
thing that I've noticed a lot is when
you're more selfless and you realize
that you're serving other people arrive
at the same conclusion that this
religion is a good religion for them and
you're serving a higher power very
quickly your problems become very
minuscule it's not because they're
violent and hateful and because they you
know they're psychologically Disturbed
to the contrary like if there was one
message that I had to send anyone it
would be because they're seeking peace
and they found peace in Islam read the
Quran and find out for
[Music]
yourself back here on the dean show with
Imam Arif from the Bowling Brook
Community Center not the community the
the M mosque in Bowling Brook and you're
the the community leader there right
that's correct you're you're the Imam
that's correct and Imam for for the not
yet Muslims out there what does Imam
mean that's like a spiritual leader
right you can say that Imam is a
spiritual leader Community leader to
help guide uh the community in regards
to the aspects of their religion and
their spirituality and often times
anything that's going on in their life
that they need an upliftment so they
come to the Imam and um however the Imam
can serve them as the Imam is dedicated
his life uh to the service of people he
tries to help ease their uh situation
and provide with whatever guidance you
can with the help of God now just for
the the help of of of teaching people
you know I'm going to ask this uh
question for the people that don't know
uh is there any are you like clergy like
people have to pray to you to get to God
or or is there any of this in Islam no
of course not everyone's Rel everyone's
relationship with God is an independent
relationship it doesn't have to come
through me or anyone else any holy
person no any Jesus Muhammad nobody no
no just direct dialogue it's direct they
have a direct relationship no secretary
no that's deep because people don't like
being put on hold or having to go
through somebody right right exactly
because most people now they say look
you know you have to go through Jesus to
get to God you have to go through a
saint you have to go through a de this
guy was too you know God's too holy and
this person was a righteous person so
now you got to go through them to get to
God I mean in Islam it cuts all of this
out right we have an independent
relationship but no doubt we see the
best example in how we should conduct
our relationship with God in the
prophets in the in the messenger in the
example that the prophets have given
and the prophet Muhammad peace upon that
he's given so we look as him to him as a
role model and we look up to him in how
we should conduct our relationship with
God but our relationship with God is
definitely an independent relationship
and that's what most people who have
accepted the fastest gr way of life in
the world today Islam submission to not
the creation but the Creator the one who
created everything our maker the maker
of mankind the one who Jesus worshiped
Moses Abraham and last final messenger
they all call people not to worship
themselves but to worship the Creator
and they love this this direct
connection with God that you don't go
through any middleman you're not
worshiping anyone but the Creator people
love this this is something you know
that's unique It just fits with the
human inclination that you know what's
inside right that's exact that's exactly
correct because as human beings we just
as we need to nourish our bodies we need
to nourish our we need to give our
spirituality nourishment as well and we
get that when we uh when we build our
relationship with God that contentment
that we get is something that is very
precious and that's why when an
individual begins to become a devout
Muslim and they understand and
appreciate it and begin to feel level of
contentment they only begin to become
more dedicated to the level of devotion
that they show to their religion you
said a devout Muslim some now some red
flags just went up some people think oh
that's where the problem comes in now
he's a devout Muslim he's a you know
he's a f fanatic they attribute that
with devout being fanatic you know how
far is this from the truth I mean that's
that that's very far I mean there's what
what we when we look an example examine
the life of the Prophet P was a very
moderate lifestyle there was no
fanaticism to any to any extent the
prophet P him was as Allah says in the
Quran this is the middle Nation the
moderate Nation there's no fanaticism uh
so that is that is very far from the
from from the truth doesn't Islam teach
us this is I mean this is a fact not
fiction not only do we believe and love
Jesus already people uh have learned
that uh that he was one of the mightiest
messengers of God that he never called
people to worship himself nor any of the
prophets but he called people just like
the last and final messenger Prophet
muhammmad Moses Abraham and all the
other Messengers that they called people
to worship the one God and they called
us to be extremely kind extremely nice
extremely merciful that's that's the
antithesis to being like some rough
necked Thug isn't it right I mean it's
mentioned the prophet P says in the in
the Holy Quran uh that do not worship
the uh Sun or the moon but rather
worship God directly
yes worship the God Allah who has
created them and everyone else so
worship him directly this is what the
prophet was calling to yeah not the moon
not the Sun not the Stars not not a
human being just worship the Creator you
memorized the this is one of the
Miracles that we have it's testable
today something tangible you've
memorized very very young in your
community leader you know the Imam and
you've also memorized the and word of
God that if anyone takes a look at it
analy analytically scientifically
they'll see that this can't come from a
human being and you memorize this you're
one who's a half who's who's uh carrying
it in your mind and the heart is that
right that's correct a one in over 20
million in the world amazing one and
over 20 million in the world it's
definitely a great blessing of God and
it shows that this word is the true word
of God that something like this could be
memorized and it could be regurgitated
and retained it hasn't any other book
and God promises that it can take place
with this book and in an easy Manner and
the fact that I'm only one out of over
20 million in the world that have done
so just attests to that fact that's
amazing now I want you to also tell us
you know there's a lot of uh
misinformation about Islam you know and
usually they don't bring on the experts
people who really live this way of life
practice it who are devout devoutly
merciful devoutly living this way of
life that brings peace happiness
contentment the true purpose of life so
now when these stations they bring on
people who don't represent Islam the
right way uh just you know not only uh
do they give light to many of these
people who the 1% not even that who do
some extreme elements you know they go
ahead and have people who have some
Twisted views on Islam Jesus peace be
upon him who I'm going to ask you there
was uh someone also um I'll show a clip
real quick well Islam doesn't believe
that Jesus was crucified first of all
Islam believes in the Virgin birth uh I
mean Jesus was most definitely crucified
and my book does question the
historicity of the Virgin birth you had
this individual uh we showed this clip
talking about that uh we know as as
Muslims we believe that uh God Almighty
sent Jesus to warn the people of the
Hellfire to give the Glad Tidings of
paradise if you obey God you worship him
alone and you do good you live a good
righteous life and there's this
confusion about Jesus being crucified
that some people believe that he died he
basically God committed suicide now
what's the Islamic stance on this well
the Islamic stance is pretty clear God
says in the Holy Quran that Jesus peace
upon him was not killed he was not
crucified and that God had lifted him
towards the heavens and towards God
himself he saved him from this
humiliation basically yes he saved him
from this from this action right so can
you go ahead and give us a taste now can
you go ahead and actually recite this we
know that if we look at any other
scriptures that we don't have any
Originals for instance if you look at
the Bible this is not trying to
disparage on anybody but you don't you
know Bible scholars tell us the reality
is we don't have the originals of
Matthew or Paul's letters or of any
other book of the New Testament or of
the Old Testament uh so that the scribes
who were copying these manuscripts
changed the text that they were copying
uh sometimes by accident I mean
sometimes they just made mistakes they
were sleepy or incompetent or whatever
but sometimes it looks like scribes
actually thought the text should say
something other than it did and then
they so they would change the text uh
some places it looks like it's a
manipulation of the text where where the
author wants to change where where the
Scribe wants to change what the author
said that we don't have a copy of a copy
of a copy of anything original right but
we have you've memorized the verbatim
word of God no one can come and say look
I've memorized the entire Bible and I
know it in Hebrew and Greek look man you
don't even need Greek food man what are
you talking about you don't even know
the Greek language nor if you did you
don't even have the original but look
for our brothers in humanity the not yet
Muslims you actually can recite
something to us can you recite to us and
translate the beautiful story about the
Virgin birth of of uh Jesus peace be
upon her right
[Music]
what did you so beautiful so beautiful
anybody I mean they don't even have to
to understand it but this just
penetrates the heart tell us what you
just said what the Creator is saying
right right actually what's interesting
is that in in the Quran I've recited
from a chapter which has been dedicated
and has been named Mariam the story of
Mary and uh peace upon her and so it's
the select verses verses which I had
recited uh Mary may Allah may peace and
blessings be upon her is saying that uh
when Angel Gabriel came to her she says
that I seek refuge in the all merciful
Lord from you unless you are someone who
is God-fearing and then Angel Gabriel
responded by saying indeed I am a
messenger from
God to uh bestow upon you or to gift you
with a pure son and so she responded by
saying that how is it possible that I
can have a child when no man has ever
touched me and Gabriel uh responded by
saying Angel Gabriel responded by saying
that this is how God has commanded it
and the this is the Divine command of
God and this is how this is what it
is and this is so that God can make
Jesus peace upon him uh a manifestation
of his sign and also a manifestation of
his Mercy to all of mankind so this this
is what these vers so this is an Article
of Faith to believe that Jesus was born
born without a father and that the
Immaculate Conception oh I mean this is
this is the definite the article of this
is something that we believe in you know
believing that Jesus was a messenger and
then believing that he did Miracles and
all of these other things that he was
not crucified that God didn't commit
suicide is that right so what this
person was saying I mean this is uh we
misformation yes he's not representing
the Islamic faith the Islamic faith is
exactly what I've mentioned that Allah
God is saying in the Quran that this is
what I just mentioned that and you just
can you can you tell us the the verse
where it talks about uh which one in the
Quran before we go to break that he
wasn't killed or crucified
yeah that God says that they did not
kill him they did not crucify him rather
a man was put to resemble him and that
that man was crucified and
that and God actually uh emphasizes this
by saying for sure with certainty he was
not crucified and so and this may be
very difficult for people to understand
that how could there be a person in
front of them that was not being
crucified well even in the Christian
Christian faith and our faith as well
just as God is able to replace a goat or
a ram in a matter of seconds in front of
the eyes of Abraham peace and blessings
be upon him he can replace a man with
another man in front of people amazing
when Abraham was called to sacrifice his
son God he testing him God placed it
with a right exactly amazing yes and
this makes sense God didn't commit
suicide God is the most merciful and
loving he just forgive right exactly he
just called to God the Creator alone say
forgive me forgive me will God forgive
of course definitely that's we got to go
to break I got so much more to talk to
you about so little time we'll be right
back here on the
D I'm so
tired when I read through the Old
Testament New Testament it didn't make
any sense feels like I've walked A
Thousand
Miles when I looked into the Eastern
Faith such as uh Hinduism and and
Buddhism and TSM and whatnot
UNP on my
knees I agree with a lot of their
principles and ideas the same with
Christianity and Judaism but they just
didn't strike a cord they didn't make
sense with me but thankfully I've got
Islam
oh and as a result of such I I was not a
fan of religion was not a fan of
organized religion and and I took a
very atheist approach towards belief it
gets me through trying times
oh I could leave work go have a bottle
of vodka smoke a pack of cigarettes have
a double bacon and double cheese
sandwich and go to sleep drunk and happy
come to work the next day and I was
miserable and when I read the
no all
what do you think about Christ what do
you think about God who is Allah who is
Muhammad it tells me what's the truth
and gives me all the proof with just a
little bit of intelligence and a little
bit of Investigation you can see that
Islam's not the boogeyman that has been
made out to
[Music]
me I didn't believe in organized
religion at all so to read the Quran I
thought to myself here's another book I
can put on the Shelf of f I ious make
believe took me three nights to read the
Quran and when I was done reading it I
remember thinking that it was the first
and to this date the only religious book
I've ever read that makes
[Music]
sense from beginning to end it doesn't
contradict itself it's an instruction
manual for
living back here on the dean show and
before we left we were talking about
Jesus peace be upon do you love Jesus of
course course I love Jesus peace upon
every believing Muslim has to love and
respect Jesus peace now most people
don't know this I mean you can end up in
the hell fire if you say I don't believe
in Jesus that's correct is that right
that's correct amazing man come on now I
mean look now we got the beard we got
the you know the sermon of the mount
dress right and now we love we pray like
Jesus also don't we I believe so yes
that's what we understand if you if you
look at people now right now go to go to
the uh I be Matthew 2639 and it says and
he referring to Jesus went a little
further and he fell on his face and pray
to God I mean what better description
than the Muslim prayer I mean we we
prostrate right right that's amazing
isn't it absolutely amazing yeah uh
there is actually before I ask you the
next question uh regarding this
crucifixion I've had a a Bible scholar
on the show J Dr Gerald Dirks who you
can go to the Deans show.com and watch
his show on the crucifixion and he gives
he went to he graduated with a Divinity
degree from Harvard you know Harvard the
prestigious University and he proves
that there were Christian groups at that
time or actually groups that followed
Jesus the true followers of Jesus were
Muslims one who submit to the will of
God they didn't worship Jesus and they
believe that God saved them from this
humiliation you know so there's a lot of
confusion there so that why is it what
can someone do if they're in a Land of
Confusion And it likes what we're saying
look that worship the Creator not the
creation they like this idea that look
God didn't commit suicide that God is
the most merciful you know but now
they're stuck they're stuck in a Land of
Confusion us cuz their parents taught
them you know and the the the preacher
taught them that so God so loved the
world that He sent Jesus to die for your
sins what do you got to say about this
in in general when we want to reach an
accurate conclusion in anything in terms
of knowledge we want to go to a
firsthand Source not a secondhand Source
if I wanted to know the authentic
teachings of Christianity I would
approach a Christian who practices his
faith and even a scholar if I could
likewise if a person wants to understand
the true teachings of Islam I wouldn't
advise that they believe everything they
hear in the news or in the media or what
their parents have been teaching them
but rather approach a scholar approach a
knowledgeable uh Muslim who understands
his faith you can find someone like that
at the at The Masque and ask them about
what Islam represents and if they ask
the right person they'll reach and
arrive at the correct conclusion if
they're not arriving at the correct
conclusion is only because they're not
doing their research properly and if
they want to do their research properly
first and foremost they have to have an
open heart be ready to accept the
correct answer you know I have an open
heart I don't work off of a bias don't
work off of an answer that you want to
hear what your desires want you to hear
but have an open heart be honest with
yourself and uh ask someone who you know
try to approach someone that could leave
you lead you to the right conclusion you
can find that at the mosque Dev or a
Muslim who's practicing and uh then you
you'll arrive at the correct beliefs of
ISL
yes definitely tell us that goes into my
next question that you know we we
believe definitely and there's been
cases where people have actually wanted
to you know pay the the Muslims to keep
their Mass open because the businesses
around the MOs in some of these these
areas the crime was so rampant but when
the Muslims moved in the crime went down
you know they start to save the the um
the communities from destruction because
you know Islam is just about inviting to
good you know calling people to good and
helping to change people's lives for the
for the better you guys actually have a
a a MOS that you're and we're seeing
this I mean we're seeing this happen
that the MOs people are just you know
coming to Islam it's the fastest going
way of life and the MOs are getting you
know so crowded that now you have to
have a bigger facility and you guys are
running into that problem now isn't it
no that's correct we as um brother Edie
mentioned that we I'm I'm the Imam at
the Bowling Brook Community and um we
are trying currently to purchase a
building which we don't just want but we
need in order to fulfill the current
demands of our community we need uh we
have 19 parking spots at the current
facility we have over 50 60 people come
every day for con congregational prayers
so we need a bigger parking lot we have
Sunday school which has fulfilled its
quota and we have people who are coming
we just don't have enough space to
provide them uh with so we need a bigger
uh we need a bigger facility to be able
to serve our community community and
fulfill their needs so we are now
currently looking into buying a building
in which can fulfill the needs of the
community in terms of the parking in
terms of Sunday School in terms of
having our uh Friday congregational
prayer there as well our weekly prayer
uh so the building we are currently
purchasing is 2 and 1 half miles away
from the current building it is ideally
and strategically located at at a
perfect area where it is going to serve
all the Muslims uh in the Bowling Brook
and surrounding areas so we are
currently at um a big deficit about a
bit a little bit less than $1 million
now or about a $1 million deficit so we
are looking for all the help that we can
not just for ourselves but so that
people in the bber community and the
surrounding areas can have their needs
fulfilled in terms of the spiritual
needs and also their social needs
because this is a building that can also
provide a banquet hall a a basketball
gym for for the Youth so those who would
like to contribute to this you know very
Noble project they can simply visit the
Bowling Brook Masjid website Bing Brook
Masjid uh and you can just put it in
Google if you don't know how to type it
properly or spell it out the way I'm
saying it bing Brook mid. comom and you

Endeavor that we're currently taking up

thank you very much for being with us
thank you for having me thank you and
thank you for tuning in to the dean show
now I know you have an open heart and
open mind so you see that these things
make sense you've got to learn a lot
today You' got to learn that look it's
an article of faith for Muslims ones who
have chosen to submit freely to the
Creator not the creation that we believe
and love Jesus that Islam is not about
terrorizing people or terrorism and you
see that the MOs are just overflowing
because people are coming to Islam it's
the fastest going way of life in the
world and we believe that God so Lov the
world that he sent prophets and
Messengers to guide you to gu to guide
Humanity to guide people because God
didn't just create the creation just run
away from the creation God created
designed in the case a designer and the
one who designed it he sent the
instruction manual so it was sent at one
time to Jesus another time through Moses
and Abraham all the other Messengers and
they all came with the same message
Islam submission to the will of the
Creator doing good being good staying
away from worshiping creation and
running towards worshiping the Creator
and encompassing loving knowing your
Creator and revolving your life around
pleasing your creator because death is a
reality we will die and that full bank
account of billions millions and
trillions it's all going to stay behind
so do something right now do something
right now before you change a channel
and the de Show's done ask the Creator
to guide you no matter what you've done
God didn't send nobody to commit suicide
for your sins no that doesn't make sense
God sent Messengers and all of them
taught us how to repent to God ask ask
the crater apologize for the wrong that
you've done repent and ask God to guide
you Guide Me Guide Me Guide Me and then
be prepared to follow it up with action
look into Islam call us at 1800 66 to
Islam operators are standing by to
answer your tough questions or if you're
ready to submit if you're ready the
first thing is that you declared that
there's nothing worthy of worship except
the creator of the heavens and earth and
you agree with what's in your very
nature then I'm not going to worship the
creation I want to worship the one and
only Creator then you accept Muhammad
Jesus Moses Abraham all of those
Messengers as teachers ones who came out
of the love to guide
humanity and man that just makes sense
so if it's making sense which it is you
know it is then prepare prepare prepare
for the day that the air won't be there
anymore and then you'll be done it'll be
finished you'll be six feet under in the
ground then it's too late so do it now
all of these distractions Bollywood
Hollywood all that stuff just numbing
