00:10:49,350 --> 00:10:49,360
"How [snorts] you dare you your question
 

489
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,509
"How [snorts] you dare you your question
is that?" So I hid it. And Allah the

490
00:10:53,509 --> 00:10:53,519
is that?" So I hid it. And Allah the
 

491
00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:54,710
is that?" So I hid it. And Allah the
creator of the heavens and the earth is

492
00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:54,720
creator of the heavens and the earth is
 

493
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,550
creator of the heavens and the earth is
the one who knows the hearts. So he knew

494
00:10:56,550 --> 00:10:56,560
the one who knows the hearts. So he knew
 

495
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:59,350
the one who knows the hearts. So he knew
I had that secret all those years. And

496
00:10:59,350 --> 00:10:59,360
I had that secret all those years. And
 

497
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,750
I had that secret all those years. And
so after graduating 1992 I got my first

498
00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:03,760
so after graduating 1992 I got my first
 

499
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,310
so after graduating 1992 I got my first
job. I met a Muslim guy who was new to

500
00:11:06,310 --> 00:11:06,320
job. I met a Muslim guy who was new to
 

501
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,310
job. I met a Muslim guy who was new to
Islam. But again he was just learning

502
00:11:08,310 --> 00:11:08,320
Islam. But again he was just learning
 

503
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,110
Islam. But again he was just learning
about Islam. So he wasn't completely all

504
00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:11,120
about Islam. So he wasn't completely all
 

505
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,069
about Islam. So he wasn't completely all
um authentic and far what Islam entails.

506
00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:14,079
um authentic and far what Islam entails.
 

507
00:11:14,079 --> 00:11:17,190
um authentic and far what Islam entails.
But nevertheless we became friends and

508
00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:17,200
But nevertheless we became friends and
 

509
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,150
But nevertheless we became friends and
he uh started talking about Islam. So

510
00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:20,160
he uh started talking about Islam. So
 

511
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,550
he uh started talking about Islam. So
the concept of Islam believing that

512
00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:22,560
the concept of Islam believing that
 

513
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:24,230
the concept of Islam believing that
there's only one God, one being

514
00:11:24,230 --> 00:11:24,240
there's only one God, one being
 

515
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,550
there's only one God, one being
responsible for everything. I was like,

516
00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:26,560
responsible for everything. I was like,
 

517
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:29,829
responsible for everything. I was like,
"Wow, this means so much. I don't have

518
00:11:29,829 --> 00:11:29,839
"Wow, this means so much. I don't have
 

519
00:11:29,839 --> 00:11:31,750
"Wow, this means so much. I don't have
to hide anymore." You know, it makes so

520
00:11:31,750 --> 00:11:31,760
to hide anymore." You know, it makes so
 

521
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,630
to hide anymore." You know, it makes so
much sense. A person only has one boss,

522
00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:34,640
much sense. A person only has one boss,
 

523
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,870
much sense. A person only has one boss,
one CEO, so and so forth. So the human

524
00:11:36,870 --> 00:11:36,880
one CEO, so and so forth. So the human
 

525
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,350
one CEO, so and so forth. So the human
beings only have one creator. And that

526
00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:39,360
beings only have one creator. And that
 

527
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,910
beings only have one creator. And that
is what, you know, I was happy intrigued

528
00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:41,920
is what, you know, I was happy intrigued
 

529
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:47,670
is what, you know, I was happy intrigued
me to learn more about Islam.

530
00:11:47,670 --> 00:11:47,680

the the frozen items eat it real quick
out of sight you know so basically the

680
00:14:39,430 --> 00:14:39,440
out of sight you know so basically the
 

681
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,509
out of sight you know so basically the
one crime was I was stealing and the two

682
00:14:41,509 --> 00:14:41,519
one crime was I was stealing and the two
 

683
00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:43,990
one crime was I was stealing and the two
was I was eating forbidden food. So, I

684
00:14:43,990 --> 00:14:44,000
was I was eating forbidden food. So, I
 

685
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,829
was I was eating forbidden food. So, I
figured no one sees me. But again, in my

686
00:14:45,829 --> 00:14:45,839
figured no one sees me. But again, in my
 

687
00:14:45,839 --> 00:14:47,110
figured no one sees me. But again, in my
heart, I knew Islam was a troop. I

688
00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:47,120
heart, I knew Islam was a troop. I
 

689
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,790
heart, I knew Islam was a troop. I
didn't take the shahada. So, I figured,

690
00:14:48,790 --> 00:14:48,800
didn't take the shahada. So, I figured,
 

691
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,310
didn't take the shahada. So, I figured,
okay, I can play games. But here's the

692
00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:52,320
okay, I can play games. But here's the
 

693
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,430
okay, I can play games. But here's the
thing. I went into the walk-in freezer

694
00:14:55,430 --> 00:14:55,440
thing. I went into the walk-in freezer
 

695
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,389
thing. I went into the walk-in freezer
and I took a bite of the sandwich. Keep

696
00:14:58,389 --> 00:14:58,399
and I took a bite of the sandwich. Keep
 

697
00:14:58,399 --> 00:14:59,990
and I took a bite of the sandwich. Keep
in mind, the environment is frozen.

698
00:14:59,990 --> 00:15:00,000
in mind, the environment is frozen.
 

699
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,030
in mind, the environment is frozen.
Everything is frozen. I took a bite and

700
00:15:03,030 --> 00:15:03,040
Everything is frozen. I took a bite and
 

701
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,590
Everything is frozen. I took a bite and
for some miraculous reason, it started

702
00:15:05,590 --> 00:15:05,600
for some miraculous reason, it started
 

703
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,990
for some miraculous reason, it started
to get hotter in my mouth. And I'm like,

704
00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:08,000
to get hotter in my mouth. And I'm like,
 

705
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,389
to get hotter in my mouth. And I'm like,
what's going on here? Should be cold.

706
00:15:10,389 --> 00:15:10,399
what's going on here? Should be cold.
 

707
00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:11,590
what's going on here? Should be cold.
So, I said, well, you know what? Let me

708
00:15:11,590 --> 00:15:11,600
So, I said, well, you know what? Let me
 

709
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,150
So, I said, well, you know what? Let me
just swallow it. I tried to swallow it

710
00:15:14,150 --> 00:15:14,160
just swallow it. I tried to swallow it
 

711
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,030
just swallow it. I tried to swallow it
and it became so hot I was forced to

712
00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:17,040
and it became so hot I was forced to
 

713
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,750
and it became so hot I was forced to
spit it out. And here's the a thing. The

714
00:15:19,750 --> 00:15:19,760
spit it out. And here's the a thing. The
 

715
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,069
spit it out. And here's the a thing. The
strange thing was I knew what the all

716
00:15:22,069 --> 00:15:22,079
strange thing was I knew what the all
 

717
00:15:22,079 --> 00:15:23,829
strange thing was I knew what the all
was about. Allah was saying, "Stop

718
00:15:23,829 --> 00:15:23,839

723
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,990

00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:32,000
shortly thereafter, I went to a Muslim
 

725

Just change your life. Be a better
 

797
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,470
Just change your life. Be a better
person. Help your mother take out the

798
00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:52,480
person. Help your mother take out the
 

799
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,990
person. Help your mother take out the
trash to be just show them that you

800
00:16:53,990 --> 00:16:54,000
trash to be just show them that you
 

801
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,470
trash to be just show them that you
changed." And again, that was which led

802
00:16:56,470 --> 00:16:56,480
changed." And again, that was which led
 

803
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,069
changed." And again, that was which led
to my mother um seeing a difference in

804
00:16:58,069 --> 00:16:58,079
to my mother um seeing a difference in
 

805
00:16:58,079 --> 00:17:00,870
to my mother um seeing a difference in
me and her accepting Islam. So then I

806
00:17:00,870 --> 00:17:00,880
me and her accepting Islam. So then I
 

807
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,670
me and her accepting Islam. So then I
became a Muslim. My my two sisters

808
00:17:03,670 --> 00:17:03,680
became a Muslim. My my two sisters
 

809
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,350
became a Muslim. My my two sisters
became Muslim and my mother. So that's

810
00:17:05,350 --> 00:17:05,360
became Muslim and my mother. So that's
 

811
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:07,189
became Muslim and my mother. So that's
where it is right now today. Half are

812
00:17:07,189 --> 00:17:07,199
where it is right now today. Half are
 

813
00:17:07,199 --> 00:17:08,710
where it is right now today. Half are
Muslim, half are not. But may Allah

814
00:17:08,710 --> 00:17:08,720
Muslim, half are not. But may Allah
 

815
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,591
Muslim, half are not. But may Allah
guide the rest of them.

816
00:17:13,591 --> 00:17:13,601

 

817
00:17:13,601 --> 00:17:15,909

[snorts] You know, some people ask,

818
00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:15,919
[snorts] You know, some people ask,
 

819
00:17:15,919 --> 00:17:19,110
[snorts] You know, some people ask,
"Well, how valuable is to you?" Well,

820
00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:19,120
"Well, how valuable is to you?" Well,
 

821
00:17:19,120 --> 00:17:21,990
"Well, how valuable is to you?" Well,
put it like this. If I were to be

822
00:17:21,990 --> 00:17:22,000
put it like this. If I were to be
 

823
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,949
put it like this. If I were to be
offered the sun in my right hand and the

824
00:17:24,949 --> 00:17:24,959
offered the sun in my right hand and the
 

825
00:17:24,959 --> 00:17:27,110
offered the sun in my right hand and the
moon in my left hand, I will give you

826
00:17:27,110 --> 00:17:27,120
moon in my left hand, I will give you
 

827
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:29,350
moon in my left hand, I will give you
the if you leave Islam, I would said

828
00:17:29,350 --> 00:17:29,360
the if you leave Islam, I would said
 

829
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:31,830
the if you leave Islam, I would said
never. By the permission of Allah, never

830
00:17:31,830 --> 00:17:31,840
never. By the permission of Allah, never
 

831
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,470
never. By the permission of Allah, never
will I give it up. Because you can have

832
00:17:34,470 --> 00:17:34,480
will I give it up. Because you can have
 

833
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,590
will I give it up. Because you can have
whatever worldly title you have. Be it

834
00:17:37,590 --> 00:17:37,600
whatever worldly title you have. Be it
 

835
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,830
whatever worldly title you have. Be it
president, king, you name it. I have

836
00:17:41,830 --> 00:17:41,840
president, king, you name it. I have
 

837
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,510
president, king, you name it. I have
everything.

838
00:17:43,510 --> 00:17:43,520
everything.
 

839
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:44,950
everything.
Eventually, you're still going to have

840
00:17:44,950 --> 00:17:44,960
Eventually, you're still going to have
 

841
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,990
Eventually, you're still going to have
to die as we all will die. So then the

842
00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:48,000
to die as we all will die. So then the
 

843
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,909
to die as we all will die. So then the
question arises, well, what happen when

844
00:17:49,909 --> 00:17:49,919
question arises, well, what happen when
 

845
00:17:49,919 --> 00:17:52,390
question arises, well, what happen when
you die? How is that going to benefit

846
00:17:52,390 --> 00:17:52,400
you die? How is that going to benefit
 

847
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,549
you die? How is that going to benefit
you when you go into that dark rectangle

848
00:17:54,549 --> 00:17:54,559
you when you go into that dark rectangle
 

849
00:17:54,559 --> 00:17:56,630
you when you go into that dark rectangle
in the ground called the grave? What's

850
00:17:56,630 --> 00:17:56,640
in the ground called the grave? What's
 

851
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,710
in the ground called the grave? What's
in there? What do you expect? What

852
00:17:58,710 --> 00:17:58,720
in there? What do you expect? What
 

853
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,870
in there? What do you expect? What
happens in there? So no, to give up

854
00:18:00,870 --> 00:18:00,880
happens in there? So no, to give up
 

855
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,510
happens in there? So no, to give up
Islam, absolutely not. Because there's a

856
00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:03,520
Islam, absolutely not. Because there's a
 

857
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,990
Islam, absolutely not. Because there's a
saying they say yolo, you only live

858
00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:06,000
saying they say yolo, you only live
 

859
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,029
saying they say yolo, you only live
once. Well, in Islam we say yodo, you

860
00:18:09,029 --> 00:18:09,039
once. Well, in Islam we say yodo, you
 

861
00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:11,909
once. Well, in Islam we say yodo, you
only die once. You once you have

862
00:18:11,909 --> 00:18:11,919
only die once. You once you have
 

863
00:18:11,919 --> 00:18:13,430
only die once. You once you have
enjoyment in in this world, your

864
00:18:13,430 --> 00:18:13,440
enjoyment in in this world, your
 

865
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,390
enjoyment in in this world, your
enjoyment. When you die, you're going to

866
00:18:16,390 --> 00:18:16,400
enjoyment. When you die, you're going to
 

867
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,150
enjoyment. When you die, you're going to
be recompenseed for whatever you did or

868
00:18:18,150 --> 00:18:18,160
be recompenseed for whatever you did or
 

869
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,470
be recompenseed for whatever you did or
did not do in this world. So the ten

870
00:18:20,470 --> 00:18:20,480
did not do in this world. So the ten
 

871
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,390
did not do in this world. So the ten
commandments, we as Muslims, we believe

872
00:18:22,390 --> 00:18:22,400
commandments, we as Muslims, we believe
 

873
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:23,909
commandments, we as Muslims, we believe
in that. We follow it. If you're a

874
00:18:23,909 --> 00:18:23,919
in that. We follow it. If you're a
 

875
00:18:23,919 --> 00:18:25,430
in that. We follow it. If you're a
Christian, you know you're supposed to

876
00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:25,440
Christian, you know you're supposed to
 

877
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,029
Christian, you know you're supposed to
follow that as well. And the first

878
00:18:27,029 --> 00:18:27,039
follow that as well. And the first
 

879
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:29,590
follow that as well. And the first
commandment is thou shalt have no other

880
00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:29,600
commandment is thou shalt have no other
 

881
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,750
commandment is thou shalt have no other
gods besides me. This is the almighty

882
00:18:31,750 --> 00:18:31,760
gods besides me. This is the almighty
 

883
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,549
gods besides me. This is the almighty
God Allah speaking. So in Islam we say

884
00:18:34,549 --> 00:18:34,559
God Allah speaking. So in Islam we say
 

885
00:18:34,559 --> 00:18:37,350
God Allah speaking. So in Islam we say
to the oneness of Allah he's one has no

886
00:18:37,350 --> 00:18:37,360
to the oneness of Allah he's one has no
 

887
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:39,190
to the oneness of Allah he's one has no
partners, no rivals, no children. He

888
00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:39,200
partners, no rivals, no children. He
 

889
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,870
partners, no rivals, no children. He
does not resemble his creation in any

890
00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:40,880
does not resemble his creation in any
 

891
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,470
does not resemble his creation in any
way. So stick to that. Inshallah you'll

892
00:18:44,470 --> 00:18:44,480
way. So stick to that. Inshallah you'll
 

893
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,029
way. So stick to that. Inshallah you'll
find yourself happy in this life.

894
00:18:47,029 --> 00:18:47,039
find yourself happy in this life.
 

895
00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:49,350
find yourself happy in this life.
Happiness in you may not be rich but the

896
00:18:49,350 --> 00:18:49,360
Happiness in you may not be rich but the
 

897
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:53,350
Happiness in you may not be rich but the
heart will be happy. Once one uh Khalif

898
00:18:53,350 --> 00:18:53,360
heart will be happy. Once one uh Khalif
 

899
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:56,630
heart will be happy. Once one uh Khalif
Omar he said if the kings of the world

900
00:18:56,630 --> 00:18:56,640
Omar he said if the kings of the world
 

901
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,710
Omar he said if the kings of the world
knew the peace we have within our heart

902
00:18:58,710 --> 00:18:58,720
knew the peace we have within our heart
 

903
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,390
knew the peace we have within our heart
by submitting to the one creator of the

904
00:19:00,390 --> 00:19:00,400
by submitting to the one creator of the
 

905
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,070
by submitting to the one creator of the
heavens and the earth they would fight

906
00:19:02,070 --> 00:19:02,080
heavens and the earth they would fight
 

907
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,510
heavens and the earth they would fight
us just to get that peace out of our

908
00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:03,520
us just to get that peace out of our
 

909
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,150
us just to get that peace out of our
heart. So if you die with that peace

910
00:19:06,150 --> 00:19:06,160
heart. So if you die with that peace
 

911
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,070
heart. So if you die with that peace
you've succeeded in this world and you

912
00:19:08,070 --> 00:19:08,080
you've succeeded in this world and you
 

913
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,909
you've succeeded in this world and you
have nothing but good to look forward to

914
00:19:09,909 --> 00:19:09,919
have nothing but good to look forward to
 

915
00:19:09,919 --> 00:19:11,750
have nothing but good to look forward to
in the grave which is another life on

916
00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:11,760
in the grave which is another life on
 

917
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,750
in the grave which is another life on
its own and then on dead judgment for

918
00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:13,760
its own and then on dead judgment for
 

919
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:19,830
its own and then on dead judgment for
eternity.

920
00:19:19,830 --> 00:19:19,840

 

921
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,390

Obviously, every single human being,

922
00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:22,400
Obviously, every single human being,
 

923
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,870
Obviously, every single human being,
we're not perfect. We make mistakes.

00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:24,880
we're not perfect. We make mistakes.

I should say, like I did. We all go

930
00:19:31,510 --> 00:19:31,520
I should say, like I did. We all go
 

931
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,990
I should say, like I did. We all go
through phases. Our our iman goes up and

932
00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:34,000
through phases. Our our iman goes up and
 

933
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,430
through phases. Our our iman goes up and
it goes down. So, that has to be

934
00:19:35,430 --> 00:19:35,440
it goes down. So, that has to be
 

935
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,029
it goes down. So, that has to be
recharged. Same [snorts] way as you

936
00:19:37,029 --> 00:19:37,039
recharged. Same [snorts] way as you
 

937

understand this. Sometimes you want to

00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,070
understand this. Sometimes you want to
fit in. You want to kick in with the

homies. You want to have a rep and so on

back to him. What does he think of me?
 

959
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,669
back to him. What does he think of me?
What does the angels think of me on the

What does the angels think of me on the
day of judgment? Do I want to be with

so to speak, that doesn't end? Or do you
 

971
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:16,993
so to speak, that doesn't end? Or do you
want to be amongst those who tried

00:20:16,993 --> 00:20:17,003
want to be amongst those who tried
 

973
00:20:17,003 --> 00:20:18,630
want to be amongst those who tried
[snorts] to, you know, make a rep for

977
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,710
yourself in this world by drinking and
all these hanging out? It's not at the

00:20:22,710 --> 00:20:22,720
all these hanging out? It's not at the
 

979
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,950
all these hanging out? It's not at the
end of the day, you still got to die. So

980
00:20:24,950 --> 00:20:24,960
end of the day, you still got to die. So
 

981
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,789
end of the day, you still got to die. So
it doesn't matter what you've done.

982
00:20:26,789 --> 00:20:26,799
it doesn't matter what you've done.
 

983
00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:29,909
it doesn't matter what you've done.
Allah says, "Oh my servant, oh son of

Allah says, "Oh my servant, oh son of

Adam, [snorts] even if your sins were to
pile up to the sky, to the heavens, and

pile up to the sky, to the heavens, and
if you were to ask me to forgive you for

00:20:36,710 --> 00:20:36,720
if you were to ask me to forgive you for

00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,549
if you were to ask me to forgive you for
what you did," he said, "I will forgive

you and I wouldn't care what you did."
So that is a reminder for myself and all

00:20:43,590 --> 00:20:43,600
So that is a reminder for myself and all
 

997

come back to your creator before it's

1005
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,669
too late. It's never too late until it's
too late. Well, what is too late? It's

1006
00:20:53,669 --> 00:20:53,679
too late. Well, what is too late? It's
 

1007
00:20:53,679 --> 00:20:56,149
too late. Well, what is too late? It's
too late is when you see the angels to

obeying the creator of the heavens and
 

1013
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,909
obeying the creator of the heavens and
earth at that time, then there's a
