ain't nobody afraid of Muslim people
anymore the war on terror propaganda is
not working what the new science is
showing us is that the brain receives
the instructions telling it what to do
from our heart they think okay salvation
someone dying for my sins what's the
Salvation in Islam life there's no such
thing as in the name of God the gracious
the compassionate praises to God lord of
the worlds the gracious the
compassionate Master of the day of
judgment truth appears ble and falsehood
would have no space left in the room
nowadays we have white boys in the rural
Midwest rooting for Muslims every UFC

beautiful seeing you I was um I was good
to see your work you are what they call
the OG in the da scene bless you reward
you but you still look very young so
keep you looking young thank you for
keep moving inshah it's an honor to be
here it's an honor to be with you in
person uh we've met once in person um
when you came down for the khabib event
that we had but didn't get much time to
spend with you and to sit with you so
Allah bless you and the great work that
you and the family are doing bless your
projects and bring goodness to it y a
mean a mean I I got to spend a little
time there by you guys uh got a nice
little tour of the myn Institute really
nice beautiful and what I was really
impressed with it was not one two three
how many brothers were there we five
brothers five brothers and all of you
working for the dean together
alhamdulillah that was beautiful an
honor it's our parents you know their
duas and their hard work parents it's
all the parents man you know we haven't
done much you know um they put they they
they they they made the effort and
hopefully were um some of the fruits of
their effort we got a long way to go see
you got a lot of parents here like no no
you got to be a doctor engineer da d d d
and they're just like you know closing
these doors for the to the youth your
parents weren't thinking like that huh
yeah I think my parents are both
Physicians yeah so be a doctor and a
Diet yeah exactly make it happen make
more effort everyone has a side hustle
nowadays you know might as well make one
of make your real Hustle the dean and
make your side hustle everything else
make your real Hustle the dean right
working for the Creator we can't we
can't you know we want to appreciate in
a relationship that someone gives us
their leftover time yeah you know that
they spend their time with everyone else
and whatever is left they give it to
person a or person B person a or person
B would never feel appreciated similarly
it's some something to think about and
reflect on we can't give Dean our left
over time it needs to be a part of the
essence of what we're doing that's what
the prophet speaks about the idea
of that whoever wakes up in the morning
and their biggest concern of life is
aspects of this world their biggest
concern not a
concern that all they want to think
about is how to grow in this world how
to progress and so on and so forth this
person is challenged Prophet says that
Allah will challenge this person in in a
sense that number one
that Allah will place poverty in front
of their face in their eyes meaning
anything they get won't be enough for
them because they always want
more he'll separate all their matters
and Affairs so anything that would have
taken less time is now taking much more
time because everything's been separated
for him and
lastly he won't be given except for that
which is already written for him anyways
so that idea is to wake up and have this
concern of first where it doesn't mean
that we're equal in time that's
impossible people have to work 9 to5
that's their work but what if our work
also becomes a form of worship with that
intention intentionality with the da
that wherever I'm going I'm carrying the
identity of My Religion people get
people feel so proud they feel so proud
if they're recognized to be an Ivy
league student they feel so proud to be
recognized as a person working for a
company or Fortune 500 company there's
nothing that should make us feel more
proud than being being identified as an
of Allah that is an affiliation that is
the most empowering the most enabling
not because of what we are but because
of the affiliation itself so I think
with that in mind our parents their goal
was hey don't don't feel insecure don't
feel like you're missing out but at the
same time know that this is a primary
cause this is a primary objective of
life is to go ahead and actually make an
effort in learning your dean and
nowadays Mah you know better than me
Edie um in Chicago and all across the
country there's so many seminaries
institutions where students are flocking
to to learn so that's that's a good sign
it's a great sign you know a lot of not
just my parents a lot of the parents in
that generation dedicated themselves to
um sending their kids out of town now
there's enough seminaries even in the
states that they don't have to go too
far which is great you know
alhamdulillah what's really impressive
are you the younger from all from the
fourth you're the fourth youngest I'm
the fourth for so there's a younger one
there's younger one my youngest was his
name was his name is ABD
he actually yes I remember yes yeah he
actually passing a tragic car accident
reunite you with your brother mean so
that's that so now yeah so we're five
and I'm number four so my eldest is
Abdullah then second is ABD rman the
thirdd is is also a physician you know
and then I'm number four so I'm you know
it's always tough being the younger
brother you get bullied so it's all
right I we live with it that's why I'm
going to come to you I'm going to learn
how to do all that stuff there you go so
I can figure out how to how to respond
correctly you know with love but with
presence yes yes but it's uh really uh
dispels this myth that we see like okay
I'll get religious you know when I get
older and stuff but to see the you you
guys are fairly young right and what's
the what's the age range between you and
your older brothers and to see this you
know Dedication that you guys open up
this institute and you're dedicated your
life now for the dean I mean we truly
believe that the greatest value added in
our life is to serve the dean yeah you
know I mean the only way to the only way
to actually do it that the only only way
to actually do it in a way that I
believe is impactful is is to believe
that it brings fulfillment to you and it
will only bring fulfillment to a person
if they feel that it's it's a source of
their benefit in like this is it this is
not there this is not something which we
feel like it's good it's a side thing
this is it you know and the prophet
there's a du where he would
say Allah do not deprive us of the good
that you have in store for us because of
the flaws that we Poss
we are not we are not equal to the dirt
on the shoes of these Companions and
they were used to serve the dean and
we're also being used to some degree to
minute amount uh to serve the de what an
what an honor it is right so yeah the
idea of when you grow old a person will
change their life and make that turn the
question becomes who said that we'll
become old yes who said we're going to
get there who said that we're going to
make it to that point what guarantee do
you have what guarantee do we have and
we have now and if we can take now as
which is our present as our greatest
gift and use it to protect our family I
mean our but our main responsibility is
to protect our children everything else
is secondary but one can't protect their
children if they're only worried about
their children they have to wor be
worried about the da of everyone around
them the prophet wasn't only worried
about his children he was worried about
everyone's children and therefore Allah
protected his children and his family as
well so we're about 5 years apart from
between me and the eldest five six years
um you know so that's that's it's
enjoyable because
we're doing it together it's enjoyable
because you know we're in the same space
it's enjoyable because um there is there
is an extra sense of Baraka that comes
from serving the dean of Allah nothing
imagine a person how they feel when they
pray now if we do a few more things for
Allah's
Dean Allah Allah reciprocates better
than anyone else and Allah's
reciprocation is not based upon our
results Allah reciprocates based upon
our effort so even if we lack in results
but our effort is such that it's
appreciated by Allah that's all we need
didn't do
anything that forced the water to come
from the earth Allah just appreciated
what she did she ran I said I got you
I'll cover your back and that's the way
we should feel as well I want to get
your reaction here and we can touch upon
this because Islam is based on proof and
evidence it's not just blind faith faith
correct 100% so the more you study Islam
I'm sure you're seeing these signs that
are in there and this is just one of
them here because we talk a lot about
the heart in Islam right there's the the
heart and we think now okay that the
heart now does it have a brain of its
own how's it connect with here so this
is really fascinating I want to get your
take on
[Music]
this when I was in school I was taught
that the brain is the master organ in
the body but what the new science is
showing us is that the brain receives
the instructions telling it what to do
from our heart the human heart and this
is a relatively new way for science to
think about us and our relationship to
our bodies what we now know is that the
quality of emotions that we create
within our heart determine the signal
that we send to the brain to release the
chemistry into our bodies every moment
of every day there's a conversation that
is happening between our heart and our
brain it's the inner environment
thoughts feelings emotions and beliefs
we know can be either healing or toxic I
thought that was just so profound that's
beautiful and deep now you've been a
student of the Quran the rebating words
of the Creator God Almighty Allah for a
long time now and there's so much that
is talked about the heart and now this
latest research what what are your
thoughts when you hear him speak the
scientist I mean frankly we're not
surprised because there's there's
nothing in the Quran that is mentioned
that in any way is is uh inaccurate so
if there's a word that is
used that the heart is blind that means
we that's we believe that that that that
if the heart is blind that refers to the
heart physically Allah has removed the
ability to understand something Allah
when he refers to um recognition
understanding in the Quran he refers the
he refers to the heart that they have
hearts these are the verses we're
talking these are verses of Allah they
have hearts that they're unable to
understand through they are not able to
use their heart to reflect because
reality is you know we we understand
that even even at a basic level I mean
we're no scientists that the heart is
actually where a person feels
infatuation love any form of jealousy
hatred arrogance and that's what sends
the signals to the brain from what
they're speaking about this is profound
because everyone usually think if you
can convince a person intellectually you
got them but the reality is if you can
win their heart hence the the prophet of
allaham was not sent to win to win to to
conquer lands neither brains he was sent
to conquer Hearts because once you can
conquer someone's heart you have
everything of them so but to be
consistent with how we understand the
Quran is there's nothing in it that
surprises us because there's no
inaccuracies in it
there's nothing in it which is
inconsistent how Allah starts off you
know where he speaks
about there's nothing in it that is
inaccurate inconsistent um but it's it's
it's interesting to know that the
non-muslim community is being able to
recognize this that's why it teaches us
that just because we don't we haven't
been exposed to something doesn't mean
that it's not true it just takes time
you know science is catching up people
the world is catching up to the Quran
this is 1440 years ago where the heart
became the core for us in our in our
spirituality in our religion so people
like this who science that now catches
up doesn't doesn't approve the Quran but
it just gives a sense of contentment
that this is this is what it is and we
can use it for our da purposes as we
need to use it right and we can feel
comfortable about what everything else
the Quran has said to us as well um
because that idea of that the the
blindness of the heart is something
which is the core of our religion that
if the person has Bas they can see with
their eyes but they have no B if they
can't see with their heart because
there's no n in the heart it's just it's
the same aspect that if you take a Turn
Turn Off the Lights of a room and ask a
person to walk around the room the most
mundane thing to do is to walk in your
own room but because there's no physical
light the absence of physical light
makes it difficult to do the simplest
things and similarly the absence of the
light of the heart makes it difficult
for the person to do the simplest things
like to understand the Oneness of Allah
to recognize the weakness of our
ourselves in our creation to understand
the dependency that we have upon God
this becomes difficult because now we're
attempting to live life without the N of
the heart and just like how a person in
that dark room if they stay there for
long enough their eyes
adjust and now they might start to think
that they don't need what any light yes
because their eyes adjust similarly a
person if they remain if their heart
remains absent from the new of of the
Quran the N of our religion the light of
our
religion they start they start seeming
to think that we don't really need it
everything's going good I got family I
got kids I have a good job why do I need
to pray more why do I need to give da to
anyone else why do I need to read Quran
I got it I got it unlock that's not
that's not having an unlock that's just
the heart adjusting and now the heart is
just filled with Darkness there's no
there's no light there and the Heart Is
adjusting again to that spiritual
Darkness spiritual darkness and and it
gets used to it because at the end of
the day we are adaptive creatures just
because we got used to it doesn't mean
it's right there's people that get used
to immodesty doesn't mean that it's okay
mhm that the human body gets used to
many things we get desensitized we and
the the heart gets desensitized as well
it becomes what we call physical
laziness the heart becomes the spiritual
it becomes spiritually lethargic it
doesn't feel the need to do much anymore
because it's content with whatever flow
it already has that's where
says that the hearts have been sealed
the heart is alive but it's been sealed
in the sense that there's there's
nothing that can undo the effect of what
are what it what's what what it's
already experiencing and that's
self-inflicted we can't blame that on
God that's self-inflicted CU Allah gives
us many opportunities every single
moment in our life is an opportunity of
Toba which brings light to the heart
Toba meaning repentance repentance yeah
a sense of regret is the absolute source
of light in the heart for the for the
non-muslims they tuning in very
interesting conversation they hear Toba
they think okay salvation someone dying
for my sins what's the Salvation in
Islam like there's no such thing as as
as confession in Islam there's no
concept of someone else being a source
of salvation for us it's the the the the
ball is in our court and that is the
most enabling empowering thing that
there is we don't have to go to anyone
to ask them to seek forgiveness for us
we
are God says that when my servant asked
of me tell them that I'm near in the
sense that when they call upon me I'm
whenever they turn towards me my
response is there for
them just call upon me so we believe in
our religion that salvation is me Simply
Having regret for something that I did
remorse raising my hands and asking for
forgiveness the prophet of God who was
the greatest creation of God used to
seek repentance 70 times a day and one
narration 100 times a day and seeking
repentance and forgiveness is not simply
due to a person's sins but it's also a
form of gratitude that oh God whatever
you've given me isn't because of
anything that I possess is because of
your love when God starts off one of the
most beautiful chapters of the Quran he
starts off with
saying Beautiful chapter of the Quran
this chapter of Rahman where he speaks
about all of his blessings he starts off
by saying Alman which subtly is an
indication how the scholars mention that
all of one's blessings in life are
because of the mercy ofman that because
he has love for us and he has and he has
mercy upon us he's given us family
children life the ecosystem that we live
within without his love for us none of
that would exist so for us it's simply
to recognize that my relationship with
with Allah or with God is something that
nobody else has any say in it's me and
him and the more I invest in it the more
I receive from it like any relationship
the more I sit and speak to him the more
he responds to me um and for us Toba is
just regret and
remorse would say but it's also very to
go on a small tangent I also feel you
know this ability to seek Toba is also a
form of humility if a person can't seek
forgiveness from God how is he ever
going to seek forgiveness from from the
people of the world the almighty is the
one who is in control and if I can't
shed a tear in front of him to soften my
heart why would I ever ask forgiveness
from my spouse how would I ever ask
forgiveness from someone who is lower
than me in society socio economically or
just based upon whatever Allah has given
me maybe children or whatever it may be
we can't that's why the prophet of Allah
says whoever is unable to thank the
people around him or her they won't have
the ability to thank Allah you can't
thank God if you can't thank the people
around you the prerequisite the pathway
towards being a person who has a soft
heart is to be a is to be able to seek
forgiveness from God then a a person
loses that shyness that if I wronged you
I'll say to you brother forgive me it's
not a big deal forgive me because I'm
used to it people are not used to
seeking forgiveness from one another
because they haven't been used to
seeking forgiveness from God they're
hoping someone else does it for them
nobody can do it for us at the end of
the day it's all based upon the person
the prophet of Allah himself said that
if if even my
children if they did something wrong
that's on them not that they did but the
idea is everyone in the court of God has
to stand with
themselves we come inde dependent and
yes on that day if we were people of
belief in the non-muslims here as well
we will be we will be raised with those
whom we love so if we're close to people
who are good God will raise us with
those good people as well what's your uh
your analysis uh when we talk about the
heart and we see right now unfolding in
4k we're seeing what's happening now in
in Palestine which at one point you had
a a relative peace when Muslims Jews and
Christians when Muslims were ruling
Jerusalem there it was a relative peace
wasn't there 100% uh the people of the
book they Hades their space they had
their rights protected and there wasn't
this uh stealing the land and whatnot
but you're seeing land theft uh you're
seeing children just being you know made
orphans and under the rubble there's
nothing been like this in our lifetime I
mean I'm young but this is this is this
is a this is a true genocide you know
for whatever for for for for what we're
seeing right now now this is
unbelievable and the fact that we're
seeing it and we can't do much about it
is it's sometimes it feels paralyzing
but to finish your question go ahead yes
so that that was it I wanted to get your
thoughts uh with uh what's happening and
you're you've been talking about it a
lot to your community and what um what
is your take now you have other things
that go alongside with this uh the
Antichrist the deou some people trying
to engineer prophecies the red cows I
don't know if you've uh looked into this
so people are talking about these things
what's your take I think the first
aspect of the question
is about the heart if someone is sitting
watching these videos you have two
options option number one is to identify
that your heart is already dead because
it doesn't get affected by it and you
justify it it's not really this it's not
truly this even El which is which is who
is the Devil
Himself found ways to justify his
Disobedience justification
no way is a claim to innocence it's
simply a claim to giving yourself repat
that a justification is is a never aive
it's never a claim to Inn Inn it's never
a claim to innocence it's a claim to
being being wrong it's a claim to being
guilty in that sense like we never
justify our sins to God there's nowhere
in our tradition that we're taught that
when we commit a sin that before we
start our forgiveness we justify that
this is why it happened that doesn't
matter the fact that I created the that
the fact that I committed so and so
crime Allah God doesn't need us to
justify he already knows the depths of
the heart speaking to him about the
justification is simmering down our
guilt no I made a mistake I seek
forgiveness for it so this just to be
able to
justify is not something that in any way
shape or form shows innocence it
Justified the devil the devil he said no
God
look how do you expect me to Bow and
postrate in front of this person that
you made from dirt and his justification
was actually quite strong because based
on the phys on the rational sense it
made sense you made me from Fire and
Fire always goes up and he made him from
dirt dirt always falls I am a superior
creation well I'm not going to do such
that to him even though you're the one
commanding me to do it so a person that
sees these videos option one is to just
identify their heart as dead because
it's not being affected by you can
justify it however you wish and the
world can justify however they wish the
reality is that this person's heart is
dead is that's why they have to because
this is a human thing I mean if you have
any sense of humanity if your heart is
any whatsoever point of being alive
you're going to react you say hey this
is not right the same way we would also
react if these were nonl if these were
if this was happening on the flip side
but to go ahead and justify it to spin
it to what not this I mean the greatest
sign that the Heart Is Dead is simply if
this happens anywhere else the heart
beats differently yeah that means that
means it's it's it's debt toward a
certain area it's dead toward certain
people because if it happen somewhere
else there's a different sense is this
why you have to make the people now that
they're you have to label them as
animals you have to make them less human
you see you know the that's the only way
justify justify that's the only way to
justify our our understanding that these
people's hearts are dead MH that's the
only way to justify or else how would
they survive with life how would they
sleep at night how would you treat your
children children so the other the other
the reality is Allah has created us God
has created us through two elements one
is a physical element one is a spiritual
element which is the soul and the heart
and there are certain things that Allah
in the Quran speaks about this is the of
Allah that that he has he has structured
and and created us with innate features
so for example the physical body if we
enter into a room that we smell
something which is which which has a
foul smell no it's this a stench uh
skunk or whatever it may be physically
it doesn't matter where you came from in
this world God has created us that that
smell would bother us yes even if it
comes from our loved ones we would say
hey man can you step away for a moment
let me let me give you some space
because physically we've been encoded
the same way within the spectrum of
course someone's more sensitive someone
is less sensitive but everyone is
encoded within that spectrum that if I
smell that it'll bother me that's a f
that's an innate feature of our physical
existence that we cannot stay in a room
where there is that stench that is there
similarly physical the physical f is if
I enter into a space that is scary
physically we get fear we have anxiety
similarly the heart has a innate feature
this is why Allah gave the heart the
it's it's a core focus of our
spirituality that the heart also has a
key feature which is that it only loves
the qualities that Allah has and it
dislikes any quality that Allah dislikes
the god dislikes for example if anyone
sees even a father or mother hitting
their children there was this what we
call reprehensibility towards like why
is he doing that why is she doing that
for you don't even know the people but
the but the f is powerful it's almost
impossible to undo it unless the
environment around us is so overwhelming
one of the things a f absolutely loves
is Justice that's why we're seeing what
we're seeing Muslims and non-muslims
alike are standing up because you can't
push away the F the smell is bad it's
bad humans are attached to the F of
Justice since the beginning of time
ibraim Alam stood up against his father
because of Justice mam stood up against
Moses are prophets and the prophets of
some of the non-muslims as well the pro
the irony is this is the prophet of B is
he stood up against Justice all of that
which he stood up for was the oppression
of the children of Israel Israelites
Justice Isa the the Messiah for the
Christians why was he put on this this
why was he on their religion crucified
or why did he die for their sins and we
believe that he was raised because of
Justice he was standing against
Injustice For Justice for that that that
is an innate feature of our examples our
example it doesn't matter which prophet
you look at their presence their
presence was to repel Injustice because
the heart cannot live just like our
physical body can't be in a room where
there's a stench the heart can't stay in
a place where there's an overwhelming
Injustice this is the innate feature of
a human being so option two is we let
our F take over and the f is something
which is natural we don't have to
justify do we have to justify why we
don't like a bad smell we don't have we
don't have to justify why we why we are
unable to stand what we're seeing
because that is the innate feature of
the heart so that's the reality and may
Allah allow us to be amongst those that
in whichever way we can make an impact
whether that's through our donations
whether through that's our encampments
whether through that's our protests
whether that's through our tud in our
Dua because everything has an impact and
we can't undermine one person's impact
because of someone else everyone has
their responsibility and we should be
doing all of it as much as we can I want
to show you uh I saw some very
interesting couple interesting clips and
we're seeing something profound also
happening on the flip side that we're
seeing a lot of Americans a lot of
people in general all over the world
because of this they're looking into
Islam and this is one of those
individuals here I two of them actually
I want to show you this clip and then
get your reaction oh God you are far
from all imperfections praise be to you
blessed is your name exalted is your
majesty there is no God but you I take
refuge in God from Satan the accursed in
the name of God the gracious the
compassionate praise to God lord of the
worlds the gracious the compassionate
Master of the day of judgment you alone
we serve you alone we ask for help gu us
to the straight path the path of Those
whom you have blessed not those who have
incurred the Wrath nor the misguided in
the name of God the gracious the
compassionate time Bears witness the
human is indeed and lost except those
who believe and do good works and
support one another with the truth and
sport one another with perseverance God
is greatest glory to our Lord the
exalted God here is who praises him our
Lord all praise be to you God is
greatest oh God glory be to you the most
high God is greatest god is greatest oh
God glory be to you the most high God is
greatest in the name of God the gracious
the compassionate praises to God lord of
the worlds the gra obviously you can get
into you know the Fick
of's but uh no obviously he's somebody
uh just from observing that he's
probably looked into Islam and his fitra
his innate nature is like you know maybe
he's reading the Quran and he just
whatever he knows he's like watching
trying to um you know mimic and he's
starting to pray reading the Quran
verses from the Quran that's amazing
that's deep huh that's deep man well
Allah's system is of the Divine and the
most wise yeah and we've seen in Ramadan
and how many conversions and people that
have reverted just by seeing what's
happening
Ina are you are you in in Detroit are
you getting more uh people 100% ining
visiting your 100% our our Seminary our
institution our um the different
programs that we have we have more uh
non-muslims coming now than ever and
more reverting now than ever as well
almost in every session in Ramadan that
we had during the week days and week
nights the the programs theams we have
people coming in and just accepting the
fold of Islam which is which is what
Allah
says when Allah refers to his
Conquest which people refer to as he he
highlights the conquest
was the people came into the fold of
Islam in large groups which is what
we're seeing today right now so this is
a victory for them you know the people
that are coming into Islam which which
is I'm not sure if in in my short time
in this world it's unprecedented that
we've seen this many people to become
Muslim through one through one specific
con one specific challenge not that
through other things just through what's
happening in just just by seeing that
because a heart is look at the end of is
a you know you you can use the argument
of nature versus nurture but nature is
of a person is what's there it doesn't
take much investigation Ian there's
people I've interviewed so many that you
so many of these people that Mah you
know turned towards Islam yeah and it's
uh it's amazing because Islam makes
sense it goes with the nature worship
one Creator nothing is worthy worship
with the one God the same God of Jesus
Moses Abraham you know be morally
upright straightforward simple it's not
asking you to believe in three in one
one in three you know a human being is
God or any of these strain Superstition
it's not complicated straightforward so
even with all the uh duplicity that this
honest media reporting I call it the U
hate billion dollar hate industry when
you when you add up Fox News and many of
these pants out there
there's another clip and then we'll
we'll touch upon this and we'll conclude
uh people are also starting to see past
because there was a lot of junk garbage
put out there Muslims are terrorists
Muslims are this that and the other you
know the boogeyman coming to get you but
here's here's a very interesting clip
that people are starting to see beyond
that programming ain't nobody afraid of
Muslim people anymore the war on terror
propaganda is not working I've met a lot
of Muslim people at this point in my
life and almost all of them were
extremely kind and a lot of them were
super disciplined and focused which is
something that I respect a lot as a
wrestler some of my favorite mixed
martial arts Fighters like khabib n
magedov are devout Muslims nowadays we
have white boys in the rural Midwest
rooting for Muslims every UFC Fight
Night you're not going to be able to
convince us that these people are evil
and that our tax dollars need to be
spent on bombing them and you know who
hasn't always been kind and friendly to
me Israelis zionists I talked to some
members of the IDF on Zoom it took them
about 5 minutes to start saying all
Muslim people are terrorists and to be
clear I'm not talking about Jewish
people I'm talking about supporters of
the state of Israel who with their
violent unhinged and rude Behavior are
turning more and more people away from
their cause away from Zionism meanwhile
Muslim people with kindness and
friendship are bringing more people
towards the cause of Palestine there
were a bunch of students at the student
protest recently who converted to Islam
and the mainstream media was like look
at this see America's being taken over
by Muslims now I'm like I don't blame
those kids for converting to Islam at
all the Muslim Students were probably
super nice and super awesome and super
welcoming and they're like hey I'm going
to side with these guys against the
mostly secular genocidal monsters that
were protesting against thought that's
crazy that's beautiful this is the
heartbeat now in uh America you know how
how the mash speak about the masks are
coming off the Mas are and people are
noticing what what what what is true
from what is falsehood
Allah says when the truth appears B and
falsehood would have no space left in
the room the challenge is how can I be a
manifestation of the truth how can I be
a source of Da for people as well how
can I display the truth in my workpl how
can I display the truth in my University
how the young youngsters and young
students are doing man what the
youngsters converting to Islam because
of these Protestant encampments is a
sign that they're doing it civil and
doing it peacefully why even want to
revert or turn towards Islam if they
were being pushed away I mean you said
they're better than anyone that they're
probably just super nice super awesome
probably just really nice people you
know Allah says about that one of the
reasons why people came close to you is
because you were just really nice you
were very kind you were soft towards
them a Believer is a soft person that
people always want to stay attached to
them and want always want to stay close
to them and the Palestinians have just
reminded us that the there the
Palestinians have reminded us that the
stories of sahabas were not fairy tales
the they were real despite the pain that
was brought to them they remain upright
towards God and they also remain upright
towards the rights of people they didn't
take Vengeance and revenge in a way that
was not approved by God you know
everything was everything that they're
doing is within the within the spectrum
of what our religion has encouraged them
to do remain patient remain grateful
remain content still pray the people
that have gone there are saying
alhamdulillah more than us which shows
that their their level of Iman is at a
different level you know there there's
no comparison but to your point that
these people who have seeing the
propaganda to be what it is is also a
victory for us there's so many victories
hidden in this um because of what we're
seeing around that the biggest Victory
is what we understand from from the
Quran whatever is beneficial to people
whatever brings goodness to them Allah
in the Quran or God in the Quran he
states that it will always remain
because it brings benefit to people so
rather than getting caught up on what
they're saying we see the Muslims being
caught up on what we can do for people
we see the Muslims caught up on what
they can do we're not being this is the
first time in many in perhaps a long
time that we're not just responding
we're actually on the front lines we're
setting the narrative we're setting the
narrative for everyone else we're not
responding to anyone else's narrative
we're beyond that we're not trying to
respond to why we are and why we're not
something this is who we are you have a
question come see us but we're not
responding to your narrative because
that already puts us on the defense line
that already makes us seem that we're
justifying and there's no need for that
I think what this what this wrestler
says like we all know you can't convince
this anymore but at the end of the day
maybe someone's not watching that those
videos so our responsibility is to play
that role in our workspaces that's what
dawa is our responsibility is to play
that role for our neighbors that's why
the prophet of Allah spoke so highly of
a good neighbor our responsibility is to
play that role and the student councel
if we're there as a youngster our
responsibility just play that role on
campus Because if people can't recognize
us for who we are as Believers then they
won't they won't recognize the beauty of
Islam right they have to know that
whatever good that we're doing is highly
in part of is greatly in part of us
being Muslims so they if they're
appreciating us they should by this
should be appreciating our religion not
just us because we're nobody's right The
Virtue is not us Islam is growing
despite of us it's not growing because
of us people are loving our religion
despite of us not because of us so if we
can always refer back that this is
something that God taught us this is
something that the prophet taught us it
would bring honor to them it would show
them that this is something that that we
actually rever not that something that
we always burdened by these are our
teachings now this is not just cuz
you're a good this is Islam teaching you
this is Islam I held the door open for
you not because of me I held it open
sponsor is Islam right don't don't refer
the goodness back to yourself because we
know we're not that good yes refer to
the goodness back to where we actually
got it from every time someone asks us
how' you succeed in life and how did you
receive this and that we always say yeah
it was good education good parents but
how about my teachings how about the
fact that I was raised with the Quran if
a person a non-muslim never hears the
value added that comes from our religion
why would they come and turn towards it
in this world no one will leave
something that adds value we I mean the
whole world is looking for where can we
get value added from and Islam is the
greatest asset that adds value and
that's why people are reverting because
they see the Palestinian I and how they
respond to that blessing of theirs which
is Faith that's value added they're not
turning away from it like whatever they
have we want because we're going to go
through struggle in our life as well
what's my insurance policy when God
tests me what's my insurance policy when
I lose a loved one what's my insurance
policy when I lose if I lose my job the
insurance policy is Faith there's
nothing else that can be our insurance
policy and the more we build it the more
we will be readily available to respond
to those difficulties there are there
are there are there they're they're
going to come sooner or later that's the
test of God right and you're proud to
say I'm as as Muslims I mean we want the
best for all of mankind and people are
starting to see when you see like the
programming that's been happening with
the billion- dollar hate industry and
the islamophobia industry and then you
have another industry that's trying to
project and and right in front of your
eyes that a man can be a woman a woman
be a man and now these are the same
people that want you here on this other
to believe that Muslims
violent terrorist hold on the mass like
you said the the person is like hold on
no no I'm getting to see like you know
these people like he's spending some
time with Muslims and he's like no these
are good people and we want the good we
want good for Humanity and it reminds me
of the Hadith the statement from the
prophet Muhammad peace and bless be upon
him he said I have not been sent except
to perfect good good character The Best
of You are those who have the best
character so someone has good character
how's he trying to now steal your home
or take over and kill you and all this
other nonsense so people are seeing that
they're all seeing they're all seeing
what it is and they're seeing the
opposite too that from the opposite side
just by changing a terminology we
haven't changed the reality of it they
call it bribery in some countries and
some countries they call it lobbying yes
terminology doesn't change theber
lobbying same thing same thing they call
it some places they call it terrorism
some places they call it anti-terrorism
just because you change the packaging
doesn't change the content the cont
count is the same yeah right why the
prophet said near the day of judgment
one of the things that will happen is
people will change the names of things
to change how it reflects upon people
they'll change the name of interest to
something else they change the name of
alcohol to something else because we are
more worried about the Optics of things
than we are about the substance of it
and that's how the world looks at it and
that's what that's what social media
does that's what this you know this
million billion dollar industry also
does it's it's we we people see the
people now see the substance they don't
care about the packaging anymore that's
the we're starting to see people
waking up to this 100% yes and may Allah
make us a source of goodness towards
everyone M and how you're referring to
we want goodness for everyone we want
everyone to feel we want everyone to be
comfortable in their own space we want
everyone to be comfortable in our space
as well everyone's welcome into your
place I'm sure you have so many
non-muslims who come and train with you
so many people who come benefit from you
this is this these are this is not
something that we're doing because we're
kind this is something that we have to
do as Muslims yes this is not a this is
not a check mark of goodness for us this
is a check mark of a necessary aspect of
our life if we're not good to Muslims
and non-muslims then we are we are
struggling as Believers yeah we don't
take it as an optional thing this is a
necessary component of our life he he
mentioned uh some of the uh MMA fighters
khabib and Joe Rogan has also talked
about many of from dead and these others
who train and the discipline and how
they're not in the nightclubs and how
they're really you know turn their life
obedience to God right this is really
profound this should also be a wakeup
call for many of um
us out there Muslim to see like see what
your behavior how it can impact in a
negative or positive your success right
so hold strong to the de don't be
embarrassed don't be ain't nothing to be
embarrassed about especially in America
cuz everyone's everyone's walking proud
with what whatever they believe in even
though it's an anomaly and it's a
scarcity are you going to be more proud
of that in doing the Haram evil or proud
to be someone who is a servant of your
creator we we we you know we we have to
normalize the beauty of our religion and
the only way to normalize it you know
how do things go viral because people
normalize them if they can normalize and
make things go viral that are so
abnormal why can't we make something go
viral that is so normal which is the
belief in God and good character and the
aspects of our religion um that's what
we believe in thank you thank you it's
