Thank you. Hamza from the wall.

Allahbah,

God willing, the new champion of the
world, Hamza Chama.
Asalamkum. We were just honored to have
our brother Hamza Chamai.
We are in Chicago fight week. Finally,
we're here. process of history
with us at the Redzovic gym in Chicago
with my cousin Idris finishing off his
training camp in preparation for his
title UFC bout. And while his wrestling
striking and overall fighting game are
world class, two moments while he was
here with us stood out to me even more
than his skills inside the cage.
Thank you. Hamza defense at all. This
this is this is where my you enjoy
yourself
everything you know. He's our he's our
role model.
The first one was when my cousin Idris
asked Hamza to sign his name on the wall
mat next to the hadith from the prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam
that's on the wall. His response I
cannot put my name next to his. Instead,
he humbly signed his name at the lowest
part of the wall mat. That's humility.
It makes you wonder why do over 2
billion human beings follow the example
of Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings
be upon him? It should encourage you,
the Hamza Chama fans, to look into his
life. Study the prophecies, the
miracles, his message to all of
humanity, especially the greatest
miracle of all, the Quran. Read it. See
for yourself and stay tuned in to the
end. I have a gift, a free gift for you.
Another moment that stood out after his
hard training, lights, cameras,
preparing for the fight, Hamza took time
to make his salah, his prayer. That's
the second pillar of Islam, the five
daily prayers. Now to the Muslims, if
Hamza can take time to pray while
training for a war inside the cage,
what's your excuse? Without salah, we
have no connection with the creator,
God, almighty Allah. And to my
non-Muslim friends, to the not yet
Muslims, have you ever wondered who's he
praying to? Well, he's praying to the
same one Jesus, peace be upon him,
prayed to. In the Bible, Matthew 26:39,
it says Jesus fell on his face and
prayed to God. That means Jesus wasn't
praying to himself. He was praying to
the creator of the heavens and the
earth, which shows that Jesus wasn't
God, but that Jesus submitted his will
to the will of God as a Muslim. The same
way Hamza was doing there on the mat
after training. You see, we're all
creatures of imitation. So, imitate what
keeps you humble and connected. Muslims,
if you're not on your salah, on your
prayers, you're not on your dean. And
without your dean, you have no purpose.
Don't wait until the grave to realize
that. At that moment, it's too late.
You'll be bankrupt and you would have
lost this world because we are all going
to die. But now you lost double because
you also you're losing the next life,
what comes after this life because you
didn't prepare for what comes next. And
that's paradise or to hellfire judgment
day. And those who aren't Muslim yet,
start where Hamza starts. Pray directly
to God alone. No intermediaries, not to
statues, saints, dead people in the
ground, to Jesus, your desires, your
ego, yourself. Yeah. Yeah. Look at me,
tough guy. No. No, brother. Pray to the
one they all the prophets prayed to. and
Jesus who he prayed to with that pure
absolute monotheism.
Ask the creator sincerely alone to guide
you and watch what happens. Now from
what I've seen his opponent is in deep
trouble once Hamza gets his hands on
him. I've seen what Durkas do can do and
I've seen Hamza training now myself and
I've seen what he can do firsthand and I
myself I'm a fifth degree jiu-jitsu
black belt with the Gracie family I've
seen a lot and this is what I see
happening but ultimately God knows but
win or lose what impresses me most isn't
just how he can fight inside the cage
it's his fight to stay connected to his
creator. That's the real victory.
Alhamdulillah, it was really nice
meeting Hamza, his manager really
impressed me how much he knows about
Islam. Also, my new Albanian brother
Latif and others who are part of the
camp,
[Applause]
some really nice brothers I've met. And
