really nice to meet you brother you m
inspire me I watch your Dean show and M
the things you actually say and when you
educate the Muslim you are absolutely
right about spreading the knowledge and
Inspire bringing people to the path and
I'm also um trying um to do what you are
also your mission is so I would just
like to say I was really I'm really
inspired to actually see you today
welcome into the studio here this this
morning thank you for having
me how many times you visited England
first time really yes oh that's it first
time
yes and Allah cre
Mah so brother back to yourself Eddie M
you're very well you're well known on
the show various shows you're on various
television channels lots of YouTube
channels out there and also in
particular uh the marshala dean show how
long has that been broadcasting for how
long have you been producing that and
presenting on it alhamdulillah we
started the The Dean show back in
2006 2006 so ever since then we've been
putting out shows weekly and people can
still continue to tune into theen
show.com and every week we have a new
exciting episode trying to clear many of
the misconceptions deliver the purpose
of life to the people and interview
people from all walks of life that have
chosen this way of life after really
putting it to the test they tried
everything else but they didn't find
that peace contentment happiness until
they found Islam and we try to highlight
those things does the nose on your head
have a
purpose does
it yes do your eyes have a purpose yes
do your hands have a purpose yes of
course makes sense but what about us do
we have a purpose yes beautiful and
what's our
purpose to worship of La any favorite
interviews that you've conducted I get
excited to do all of them I mean when
anytime I get a special person that
comes in I Look to from those stories
that it helps me to also appreciate what
we have because many times we are born
into a family of Muslims while these
while many people they had to struggle
they had to really go through a lot a
lot of Investigation a lot of hardship
and now they really appreciate the dean
where we become more axident right we
end up getting Islam just put on the
plane we think it's something inherited
no everyone has to make that conscious
decision to submit their will to the
Creator to to follow Islam and these
people have done that so every time I go
ahead and I see wow look at all these
struggles they went through and many of
us we don't appreciate that
imitating one of the best women that
ever walked the Earth and this is for
the Youth out there many are taking the
Zay malx as as role models and many of
the celebrity pop stars but those are
not our role models you know and and
then they end up end up following and
attaching the hearts to them and they
end up you know taking the wrong
examples and we try to highlight these
you don't want to take them examples
right this young man he invested a time
he invested the effort and now he uh
really appreciating this and you can see
the the life in him and this is what
really it just it motivates me to keep
going and and to share this so other
people can benefit from those stories
and really appreciate what we have and
not lose it because a man or woman could
take a few steps and lose their soul
right the mother of Esau Jesus what's
what's the name Med because that's her
name what kind of tricks do you think
we've missed on our journey to
practicing Islam and being better Muslim
one is the the reminder of the the
reality of this life that it's it's
short it can end at any time and that we
also we have to be in a constant state
of reconnecting with Allah every day and
and not to you know people go to the gym
constantly because if you don't use it
you lose it so same thing with the dean
everything is there Allah the creator
gives us the tools for Life how to get
through many of the struggles how to get
through the challenges what we need to
be successful but what real success is
so we end up taking all of the other
things that are out there and we for we
abandon the Quran we abandon our Dean
and we think the solutions and and
everything is out and we get it we're
going to get it from somewhere else but
we have it the treasure is there we just
have to go ahead and appreciate it and
learn it and many of times people for
instance we talk about how when people
are not empowered by the dean and they
become apologetically Muslim and then
that's how you end up losing yourself
and you want to please everyone you
become a cofant and you want to end up
pleasing everyone else other than your
creator but the beautiful thing about
dawa the beautiful thing about when when
you're involved in Sharing because I
often say if you share you care it is
empowering you the more I've interviewed
people who come from different walks of
life let's say the more they
investigated the religion of their
parents the more they were unconv Ved of
it but what led many of these these
Scholars uh of other religions and then
they come into Islam the more they
investigate Islam the more they're
empowered by it and the more they're
convinced of it but many Muslims they're
not convinced of Islam because they
don't study it they don't uh many have
not consciously submitted to Allah to
their creator and now when you when you
spend more time learning your Dean the
more you appreciate it the more you're
going to naturally you're going to you
you're going to have no doubts about it
and this is what one of the beautiful
things with the dawa is that this is
forcing you to learn because you don't
no one wants to be ignorant you want to
be able to answer these questions so now
it's empowering you and then naturally
now you're fulfilling an obligation
which is to go ahead and share to make
the the communities you live in a better
place and this is this is our mission in
life that many of us we're not we're not
seizing the opportunity and once it's
once we're gone it's too late so we have
the opportunity now we have to take
advantage of
what's that mean there you
go those who learn the Quran and teach
it making what making you go to the
right path yes the straight path
yeah respecting your parents in the
Quran have you read it respecting your
parents what are your aspirations for
the um For The World At
Large GPS Jenna
that's it we got the GPS Jenna there's
so many trappings of Shan there's so
many things look it doesn't mean that we
neglect this world but many have let
this dun penetrate the heart so when you
have it in your hand not in your heart
when it's time to to let it go you let
it go so just trying to day by day
fulfill the obligations that our our
loving Creator the most merciful has
told us to do and just keep moving
forward and just not to get uh too
caught up I mean do our part to go ahead
establish uh put plant seeds of goodness
and and do our part uh that we have you
know often reminds me of of the the
AY that Allah is telling us mankind is
in loss right by time Allah this is our
time is so valuable but we're we're just
we're just donating giving it away to
some of the most ridiculous things out
there uh and and accept those who
believe believe in the pure mon theism
believe in their creator the one who
created them and then they they invite
to truth and their Pat and patience so
I'm just trying to adhere to the best I
can we all make mistakes we all as the
prophet Sall said you know all of the
sons of Adam are sinners but the best
are those who who who come back to Allah
constantly so I'm trying to just do that
that just to be consistent uh just to be
conscious of Allah all times we all make
mistakes we're all humans but not to
forget this and get caught up into all
the different things that are out there
the trappings of of the
andan name a few of the
prophets go
ahead
who Jesus peace be upon him in the
Quran the last and final messenger said
to mankind the prophet
Muhammad what else feeding the PO poor
feeding the poor in the Quran and this
is what the good manners car is bullying
good manners bullying
ah is disrespecting your parents good
manners no mashah what kind of work does
it compareed to abroad is it kind of On
a par are we doing okay do you think
from what you've observed so far I just
gave an invitation for every not yet
Muslim and I often say not yet Muslim
because everyone has a potential to
submit to their creator and many of the
not yet Muslims they have so many
misconceptions about Islam there's a
beautiful at this Muslim Heritage Center

wisdom and you see all from someone
who's drinking coffee someone was

coffee the inventions hospitals all of
these wonderful things it's like gems of
wisdom uh that are there and just seeing
that how it's portrayed anybody who come
through here I love the the exhibition

show
where we're at the bookstore H mid and I
wanted this book stood out here
productive Muslim and I recommend this
book and I want to encourage people
because this is the only brother that
I've seen I'm really into audio books
now when you're driving you can't read
and drive so he's one of the only
brothers that I've seen because there's
a lot of anti-islam books out there so
we really need to catch up and start
doing these audio books that's the new
thing so what the author just reads the
book and this brother actually has that
one of the few that I've seen so I
really recommend this and others who are
writing books to start doing the audio
version of the books in today's time
it's really
important there's
only Allah
Allah where do you where can you see me
at what the dean
show okay guys
salum recommend people watch the show
yeah definitely always um I mean your M
show is amazing especially for people
who don't understand Islam um they
should actually listen to you and also
um
the knowledge you actually um teach
people it will actually make them
understand Islam in a better prospective
way and whereas other people you know
also I know there's other brothers out
there who do try as well but you m are
definitely main person to actually
alhamdulillah keep tuning in to the deed
