the this is the
[Music]
the peace be unto
you well how are you alah I'm good how
are you good good thank you for coming
back to the the dean show welome we did
a show before yes and how did you how
did it come out did you uh did your
friends watch it did people see you on
the dean show alhamdulillah yeah yes did
you get a chance to share it with some
of uh the not yet Muslims yes yeah what
was their response and they like it to
great great so for the people that don't
know about you already they can go to
the Deans show.com and you know they can
watch the first show that we did now
you're a you're an author with the help
of your parents you've written how many
books I've written four books and I'm on
my fifth one is on printing right now
what are they called again um the first
one is called things every kid should
know smoking the second one is called
things every kid should know drugs the
third one is called things every kid
should know bullying and the fourth one
is called things every kid should know
alcohol and the fifth one is called
things every kid should know junk food
okay so in your books you're teaching
kids how to smoke how to eat junk food
what's the best junk food how to be a
bully is that what your books are about
it's actually trying to help them avoid
those things oh avoid those things cuz
you said oh okay cuz you said uh things
every kids should know it's not how to
bully how to smoke how to drink not that
how to not do that yes okay cool why why
I mean we covered some of these things
before but just kind of to to you know
recap these books are they meant to
they're really meant to help keep kids
away from these bad things yes what if
someone says look this is I mean I think
it's good for me you know alcohol makes
me feel
good well it may feel like make you feel
good right then but it's not really good
for you in the long runs mhm and smoking
same thing you know what about parents
they're smoking and they're telling
they're not they're kids not to
smoke what do you got to say to the
parents who who are you know being bad
examples well if if you're doing it then
I don't know how your kid is taking
going to do your unless your kid's
stronger you know not to do it you know
but I think your kid's more likely going
to have a chance of doing it because
you're doing it and so your kid is
watching you do and I think they're more
going to have a chance of doing it so be
a good example lead by example yes okay
don't smoke don't drink and don't bully
okay that's good now uh you know for
again we have so many I call them not
yet Muslim because everyone has the
potential to submit their entire selves
to the one who created them that's what
a Muslim is what's Islam though I was
going to Define it I mean can you define
to us what is Islam well Islam means
Islam means play peace and sub Islam
means peace so when we're Muslims we're
submitting to Islam we're submitting to
peace and we're giving peace to the
universe to all around us to plants
animals humans and of course and we
worshiping Allah subhana tala MH so the
one who's the owner of Peace the one who
gives peace is the creator of the
heavens and the Earth yes so when we
submit ourselves to the one who created
us this is how we can give we can have
peace within ourselves and naturally
we're going to have peace with our
environment with the animals with the
plants with other human beings that's
what Islam is calling us to isn't that
wonderful and that's what a Muslim is
one who does Islam so now for those
people who don't know much about Islam
you know what they've learned some
things here on a Dean show and they're
excited they come back every
week some of them maybe they got their
family members and they see you with the
hijab they might want to know why is she
wearing
that well the hijab isn't obligatory to
you until you reach a certain age but I
started off when I was six because my
mom also started and I and I learned
that it wasn't it's never Young when you
want to start off something good and you
want and you want to do something when
you're young and you want to do
something good and it's never Young when
you're never young enough to start it
and I'm doing it for the for
AAL so he so he can be pleased with me
in INC now have you have has anybody
ever given you a hard time because of
the
hijab not mostly but some people ask me
like for example um do you have any hair
you know questions like that I'm like
yeah I do L yes so yes um there are some
Sometimes some any questions but not
nobody really did that me yeah I'll
share something with you you know
somebody uh asked the question you know
why do your women cover for instance and
did you hear the one about the two
candies the two pieces of candy so the
guy who was asked this he took two
pieces of candy and he threw him on the
floor the floor is like dirty got dust
over it right so then one was unwrapped
you know the candy has the wrapper so
one was with the rapper and one was
without the rapper so then he told the
person to ask him he said you know which
one would you like to pick up off the
floor now what do you think he said the
one that was uncovered now I got all the
dirt on it and all this other stuff or
the one that was wrapped up sealed tight
what do you think he said wrapped up the
one that was wrapped up so then the
light bulb went on he said oh I see ah
and this is the Muslim woman our mothers
our daughters our aunts our grand I mean
the woman is more precious than than
candy or diamonds or any of these things
so Islam protects the woman definitely
yes
and do you feel more protected now while
you wearing the hijab you feel more
respected yes why is that um because
when people see you and when you're
trying to cover like for example when
mam ped upon her when Mary when she used
to cover her up you never saw her
uncovered that's the mother of Jesus yes
and whenever you saw her in a picture
people painted of her people made of her
she was always covered up and you see
none nowadays when they're wearing their
their clothes people respect them more
CU they think they're following their
religion better than we are so if if if
Mary peace be upon
her but if she can do it and if NS can
do it how come Muslim woman can't do it
how come there's like a double standard
there Muslim woman does it suddenly
she's oppressed yeah well that's true
Freedom then Freedom within the bounds
of morality is dressing up instead of
dressing down you know so that should be
respected you choose to wear more and
that is something that you know if
anybody looks at it logically it makes
sense and one of the most righteous
women you just mentioned her name Mary
the mother of Jesus she was wearing the
Muslim hijab also yes you're doing the
same we're continuing the same Legacy
and we're going to come back with more
of alyia and we got a special guest here
on the dean show too he'll be with us
soon Abraham so don't go nowhere here on
the dean show with aliia sit tight Salam
alikum
and with good deeds uh we'll find that
good breeds
good clear out your mind and your heart
of hatred MH and preconceived
notions racism and
nationalism because you cannot have
anything inside of you that's like that
against people and still be successful
[Music]
with back here on the dean show with
Alia and and we're going to continue on
asking you some questions all right so
you know there's a big thing in the
media you know that Islam is being
portrayed like it's something that is
not good for Humanity like it's
something that is
Extreme does Islam teach you to be
extreme no it doesn't does Islam teach
you to be radical no where in Islam
there there are many different kinds of
Muslims from all from all kind of all
all um all parts of the world and we're
always supposed to be nice to everyone
then including those Muslims to now does
does Islam teach you to hurt innocent
people to have this idea that you want
to hurt uh children people who are not
Muslim to want to kill them no actually
I I believe it say EAS say this in the
Quran or in the Hadith um but it says if
you kill one person it's like you killed
the whole world and if you save one
person then it's like you save what the
whole world mhm okay so you're you're
not I mean you're not one of those
radicals are you okay I don't got to be
we we see we we find that funny now
there are you know we have to admit
there are some people who possibly you
know they have some misinformation but
that's why we encourage everyone to come
watch the dean show read some of your
books to figure out really what the
Muslim some youth are all about and you
know you're you're somebody who's a
testimony to that thank you all right so
we talked about the hijab we talked
about the terrorism that Islam has
nothing to do with this and it's a shame
that we have to constantly usually come
back to this but again there's so many
people out there who love what Islam is
about you know it it makes sense worship
just God do good and and and and get
Paradise right so
accountability for your actions day of
judgment all these things make sense but
then they hear something about Muslims
and uh in the news and the media and
then they get this IL taste in their
mouth but now they get to hear it from
us and you know what uh they think they
start thinking a little bit different
and many of them even accept Islam is it
true that more Muslim more women are
accepting Islam than men yes did you
hear about that yes I heard about that
yeah what do you got to say about that
well well there in the in the world
actually there are more women than men
so there always going to be but
um alhamdulillah okay uh Role Models is
very important nowadays the youth are
taking bad people as Role Models All
right as their leaders
and you to get to where you were today
having you know mashallah this knowledge
who did you have to take as a role model
well I one of my role models
aream he was a great leader helping kids
and adults and he he was one of my role
models and another one of my role models
is
f she was also very brave and courageous
and she helped her father a lot in his
mission to in Islam and some of my other
role models in this Muslim society today
that I think have done a lot for Islam
um and to for the and to help out this
Muslim um are for example Dr Zak n YF
AES Dr Ibrahim jamali Dr T CH and many
other great shs and Scholars you know I
asked you some of these questions before
I think they're important now you know
for for some of the kids that are taking
Britney Spears and JLo 50 cents you know
Ruff rug ruggy ride these people as role
models and you know and they're
listening to you now why should they
take who you mentioned as Role Models as
opposed to taking these other people as
role models
well um well like the people that I took
from Ro models they've always had good
characters they always had good manners
they always had good um they they were
always in good they were always trying
to do good helping other people and most
of these people some of their songs
aren't very good and some of their songs
portray bad message that kids as young
as me we shouldn't be listening to it
and we shouldn't really know about it we
should kick them mind our minds clean
from these
things and so um it's important to have
role models that are going to teach you
good things that are going to instead of
teaching you bad things and teaching you
worse things than we're supposed to know
at this young age let's talk about
respect in Islam what do Islam teach you
about respect well Islam teaches us
respect and to allaha and from Allah
respecting him respecting God Is by
obeying his Commandments and obeying
what he's telling us to do and from that
we also um we also have to respect all
of mankind Muslim or non-muslim so we
have to respect them and we also have to
respect plants and animals and other
living things that's beautiful Islam is
giving you a complete balance but the
first thing that you mention is
respecting the one who gave you life so
you want to worship him alone what if
someone says look you know uh I worship
a messenger like Jesus I mean is that
the right thing to do no because even
The Messengers in some point or another
they always said when they were stuck in
something or they had to get help they
always prayed to God they always prayed
to Allah they always went back to Allah
tala for Allah and to help them and to
ask Allah for help so even they they
always surrendered themselves to Allah
tala now when you say allaha are you
talking about some Moon God who are you
talking about when you say Allah Allah
is the god who created this universe and
who created everything in it and that's
the one that these Messengers they
called upon when they were in need yes
what now the next question why were
these Messengers sent why did God send
all these Messengers well God created
everything am I correct he created
everything and he created the world and
he created everything in it so he he did
that and basically for I'm going to give
you an example for example if you made a
car and it didn't use gasoline and it
didn't use energy I mean it didn't use
electricity and it used a whole new type
of energy and many people didn't know
how to use that you're the only one that
knew and would you give a manual to help
people use that car or would you just
let people try to gas it up and break
this part of the car and and try to
power it up and break this other part or
would you send a manual maybe even make
a video teaching people how to use this
car well this what Allah did he made us
then he sent down books and Messengers
to help guide us to the One path that's
going to help us in this world this life
and in the Hereafter and there are some
of these prophets for example were Adam
l no um
no is is and many and Prophet Muhammad
prophet Isa Prophet M and many other
prophets and Messengers and they were
sent from Allah tala and they're sent at
different times for different tribes and
but in the end they always came with the
one same message there was only one
message that all came with and that was
believing in one God believing in Allah
one God yes that was the message from
all the prophets and what else and also
they and also to treat your neighbors
kindly treat other people kindly do
business fairly and many other things
like that so much so much to cover and
so little time so we're going to get
through all of this we we promised the
people Abraham where's Abraham
[Music]
Abraham hey Mas I watched your last show
it was really exciting thank you oh can
I ask you some questions sure I also met
your brother give my salams okay okay
uh okay I'm kind of hungry can I can I
eat no that's a mic oh sorry I I forget
sometimes uh tell me now like you know
there's some people they they uh they
confused they think Islam is like
terrorism and and and and worshiping
Muhammad and and and uh they want to
burn the Quran uh what are you going to
say to them uh is that what Islam is
about like terrorism and blow this
person up oh my head sorry can you put
my hat back on
okay thank
you okay what do you got to say to them
please um well Islam Islam isn't about
that it's about peace and it's for peace
for all of mankind and for all of
humanity oh mashah but you know how can
you get peace first what do you got
what's the first thing you got to do I
mean what do you got to do to have peace
well there are five pillars in the slam
ah Five Pillars tell me the five pill
tell me tell me tell me right well the
first pillar is shahada saying there was
one God and that he is
allaha and the second pillar is how
about is there a messenger that you what
El you got is what up there's only one
God and what's what Muhammad is the
messenger yes and Muhammad is the
messenger okay go ahead keep going and
then the second pillar
is um Salah so praying then that's salad
Salah Salah not salad like food or
something Sal Salah what does that mean
Sal um Salah means prayer oh prayer
prayer to God yes that's good why would
you pray to God so you got to pray to
just God when you say uh pray to God do
you mean Jesus or Muhammad or the moon
or what what are you talking about pray
to who I mean praying to one Allah
praying to one God okay go ahead and
then so that's the lot and then it's um
zakat giving arms giving charity to the
poor people who are in need of
it and then s fasting and that's the
that's the fourth pillar which is s and
which is fasting in the month of Ramadan
and also there is some fasting also you
could do you don't have to but you can
do on Mondays and Thursdays so um
fasting and then there's HJ which is the
fifth pillar it's a pilgrimage to where
is that to Disney World no it's to Mecca
ah Mecca that's like the first house of
worship by Abraham right to worship what
the Caba to worship Allah ah to worship

important who do you love the most Allah

that finally made me realize there is no
time to delay anymore I want you to take
my shahada right there there
iser the essence of spirituality is to
become more sincere to Allah subhana

very scary but it brings you back to
reality there is a life which is
Everlasting in the you have to make a
conscious decision of which group of
people do you want to be of the people

Li by I am not afraid to stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone if
Li by I am not afraid to stand

a Lies by I am not afraid of stand
alone back here on the dean show and
what do you think about Abraham he's
funny he's nice you like his song yeah
yeah so encouraging to hug your parents
hug your hug your mom huh all right so
you you covered now with him the Five
Pillars yes this is very important
that's that's the the the Bedrock of
Islam you know testifying that there's
no God but God that you only worship the
one who created you and Muhammad is the
last and final messenger and this would
accept you would accept all the other
Messengers that that
came before him Jesus Moses Abraham Noah
then the prayer five times a day the
charity the fasting and the HJ
and you know if anybody wants to accept
Islam you know this is what they have to
do it's very simple so you've learned so
much in in so short of time now let's
move on we're almost out of time tell us
Aliyah you have some tips that you give
youth when you speak what are these tips
well the first tip is always remember
Allah subhah wa taala and that he's
always watching you even if other people
don't see you and you're doing something
bad and the second thing is keep gaining
knowledge about great leaders so that
you may emulate them and the third tip
is be an example don't wait for
everybody else to be the good leader if
you see the time to help someone stop
doing something bad help them and the
fourth tip is be humble always be humble
and this and always help people out this
may seem hard at sometimes but my mom
told me that this is truly when we show
Allah that we love we we love him and
thank him for his blessings and number
five always say alhamdulillah for
everything and sometimes your test or
your trial or your tribulation is hard
remember that it could always be
worse really great advice really great
advice and how can people if they want
to read some of those books that you
have written how can they get in touch
with you well they can go to my website
www. Ali and.com that's spelled a l y a
n r i.com so they can go to that website
and also um there's this other website I
have and actually this is with me and my
brother and it's more for kids we making
games and everything on that website and
that website is called
www. things every kid should know.com
again that's
www. things every kid should know.com
well thank you again for joining us here
on the show I'm sure so many people got
the benefit and inshallah we'll see you
again next time here in town thank you
may Allah reward you amen and thank you
for tuning in sitting tight through
another episode of the dean show you got
to learn a little bit more about Islam
Islam is the fastest growing way of life
in the world and Islam doesn't call you
doesn't call the children doesn't call
human beings to go and kill other human
beings Isam Islam is about establishing
Justice Islam is about establishing
goodness in your homes and your
societies and you can see from the
little Muslims that we have this is what
the parents are teaching them Islam and
this is what's breeding good because
Islam is good and God is good and the
only isep is good and he sent the best
message the best message to humanity and
that's to call human beings to establish
a direct dialup to have peace with the
one who created you and that's how you
can truly have peace within yourself
then you can have peace with the
environment and those around you and we
hope we really hope that that you take
the time out continue to come back here
to the dean show to continue in your
quest because there's a lot of things
out there distracting you but you're
taking the time out you're reflecting
what's the purpose of life why am I here
in this world and you know what
everything about Islam is making sense
there was some misconceptions that you
had but you came to the dean show and
now you understand why the Muslim woman
covers Jesus's mother covered Jesus
wasn't God but he prayed to God you're
learning all these things you learned
the five pillars of Islam it makes sense
it makes sense it's something that you
don't have to do a lot of mental
gymnastics to make fit it's something
that goes with your very nature worship
the one God do good not just to Muslims
to all mankind to all mankind and there
is one Hadith that will end with this is
a saying of the last and final messenger
sent to mankind that he is saying that
those that do not have mercy to God's
creation to the creatures on Earth God
will not have mercy on them and Islam is
a merciful religion it's a merciful way
of life and we hope that inshallah God
willing that you want to know more and
if you want to get a free Quran which is
the verbaan word of God call the number
on the screen 1800 662 Islam and if you
want to follow the way of life of all
the messengers of God including Jesus go
ahead and call even if you have some
criticism they're all welcome we can
come to an understanding through healthy
dialogue and until next time peace be
unto you I am not afraid to stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone if
a li by I am not afraid to stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone if
Li by I am not afraid to stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone if
Li I am not afraid of stand alone
