for the sake of Allah now so they were
so are you involved in martial arts yeah
on and off yes insh now were you the one
that starred in The Karate Kid wax on
wax off wax on wax off wax on
a off that concentrate look in my eye no
no
no that was a very very popular movie
and they used to have it was um mu myagi
he was like the grandmas and you had
Karate Kid so he came to what they were
picking on him bullying him and and
people remember wax on wax off
Allah did you see that movie they said
every every har is Bara every they mean
every movement there's always some
blessing yes yes masallah you have a
unique story because you came from a
Buddhist background is that it yes no so
the viewers now we we get to speak to a
lot of people who came from the
Christian background but now this is
unique I've actually never interviewed
someone who came from a Buddhist
background no talk to us tell us a
little bit about your story before Islam
yeah alhamdulillah been been born from a
Chinese family where you know majority
of the Chinese they are Buddha budhist
or they are twiist or Buddhist and some
family members they are Buddhist and as
a Buddhist we know that uh if you
understand the teaching of G Buddha then
you understand how this word Buddha
derive from MH now it derived from the
word of Bud meaning before gatama
become uh been
enlightened so he was uh looking for
something the Buddha Buddha what was his
real name guat guat so it's guat and
that's what it's named after then after
is Buddha is not his name Buddha is a
title given to him what does that title
mean the title derived from the word
boot means The Awakening Awakening
Awakening that he was looking for
something so say his name again one more
time Guama Guama yeah he was looking for
something from some kind of
Enlightenment Okay so The Awakening of
him looking for something that is
missing in his life is called bu in the
Sanskrit word and that again means boot
mean uh Awakening Awakening Awakening so
he had an Awakening A bu yeah he had the
boot he had the and then later on he he
got to leave the palace because he a he
was a prince oh he was a prince he was a
prince so he had the cash and money oh
he but he's missing something he's
missing the spiritual thing yes so he
know something is missing in his life
uh-huh you know so he left the palace
and that's where he start his journey
the journey to look for the
truth and he was he encountered a lot of
other Hermes or so-called Saints at that
time people who isolate thems in the in
the forest know just by thems keeping
their head long their nails uncut know
but he he's not attracted to that kind
of of of practice yes if is is not real
MH you know so he was looking and
looking and nobody can explain to him
nobody can give him guidance and that's
why he meditate under a bull tree uh
under what kind of tree a Bo tree they
call a bu tree yeah because if you go
back to the history of all these
prophets all Prophet will have to go
through this kalwa they call Kal mhm
means a kind of seclusion seclusion and
uh so what happened to
he was meditating under the bo tree
looking for an answer looking for
something he wanted to know the real
life what is life after
death and uh from there he was
enlightened and when he received the
enlightenment then he was given the
title Buddha what was this Enlightenment
that he had that he exper en that he
experienced that he he understand what
is life now he know what is that life is
a mission is something that you must do
here before you meet the almighty God so
he believed in a God he believed in God
because so it's so uh interesting before
you come to understand about Buddhism
normally people say guat Buddha or
Buddhism have nothing to do with God is
a way of life now hold on you were like
a were you actually like a what do you
call him a like not really a monk but I
do get involved very closely you were
very involved so you knew the their
teachings very well no yeah now how were
you cuz you were obviously looking to
get enlightened so before you learned
all of this what was your what was your
faith before now I was as a Chinese
descendant you always mix you have
Buddhist twiist and also some of us are
Christian later on I became a Christian
so wait what were you first what was
your family your mother family they all
Buddhist Buddhist so you were born into
a Buddhist family Buddhist family okay
so now the Buddhist family okay they're
they're following these teachings but
this is very interesting because like
you said I want I want to uh if you can
elaborate on this a little more because
most Buddhists they say that there is no
God no God there no so this is false no
this is not true this is what we taught
yes but that's nothing to do with the
teaching of guat Buddha if you are fair
enough to go back to the history of of
goam Buddha then you will come to a
conclusion that he do not deny God you
got to go back and study the yeah in his
Dharma the the teaching of gatam Buddha
is always called Dharma Dharma is the
doctrine that's their Doctrine their
Doctrine okay their books they have
their book there many books but normally
when talk about books they talk about
Dharma uhhuh and then if you look at
this teaching the Dharma always start
with Karma karma karma karma if you look
into the teach the Islamic term is about
faith about what is being fed by God you
just got to accept now what is going to
happen to you but we always what they
teach is like what goes around comes
around this is like the karma yeah yeah
is is like you do something good at the
end of the day you'll be rewarded
accordingly yes you see only they they
they explain in a different ways but all
come back to the and
if you compare with what Islam say about
Karm is about and so what we say is the
destiny same thing is the the the karma
karma karma okay let's hold off right
there we're going to take a break and
we'll be right back on the dean
show there will always be someone that
will be there to say something negative
but at the same time there'll be someone
there to say something positive also
just hold on to the Rope of Allah
everything in this universe rely and
need Allah the Quran says don't kill
women don't kill children don't kill old
people don't attack the civilians this
is what the prophet Muhammad told
us said that the prophet never ever
start a war against
anybody I am not afraid to stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone if
Li I am not afraid of 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 to stand
[Music]
alone back here with shik Hussein ye now
tell us Shake please How Deeply were you
involved in Buddhism
uh if you look back to my lifestyle yeah
from Young I like to get involved in all
the spiritual kind of thing and the best
way to get involved is to serve the
temple there the best way that mean you
in the temple you are close to the m
you're close to all these uh so-called
religious people yes who can explain to
you more about you know what the
teaching of Gama Buddha is about MH was
he like a prophet to them or what was he
do they look at him like a god yes to to
them before they look at them like a
leader spiritual leader
okay they don't call him Prophet
actually yeah they like their Master
yeah they gurus so they call like the
guru they gurus yeah but uh later on
what happened people start to worship
him later this is way yeah of course
they later like the Chinese today
majority they if they want to uh ask
something they'll go to the temple the
Buddhist temple and they start to call
his name and ask some kind of blessing
through him did he ever tell people to
do that no no no not in his time he
never allow anybody to worship him or he
never claim himself as
God you know or that he he have some
kind of godship with him no correct me
if I'm wrong I'm just coming to the
Assumption because you're teacher so
please if I say anything that's not
correct we in Islam we believe that over
124,000 Messengers were sent is it
possible that this might have been a
messenger that had called people to Pure
monotheism is it possible to my
understanding yeah I won't say that
everybody should believe what I feel but
through my own research after coming to
Islam and I compare back to the teaching
theed of Islam and the teaching of guat
I don't see any
differences and and I believe that what
Allah subhanahu wa tala did inform
us indeed Allah said we have sent to All
Nations a messenger Ras and a messenger
whose duty is to invite people to
believe in one God and to stay away from
all other gods that mean no Idol
worshipping human worshipping
Shan what you call devil worshipping no
you worship only one God and like what
you said early you said that the prophet
did said that the 120,000 of prophet is
been sent only majority of the name is
not been uh known to to even to Prophet
Muhammad sallam and it was stated in the
Quran to the Allah inform our Prophet
that there are many prophets that Allah
have S that his name also Allah did not
inform our Prophet Sall wasallam and
only our Prophet said uh 120,000 of them
so so from your investigation it's
possible it's possible it's possible but
over time people changed his teachings
it's just like what happened to the to
the Christianity with Jesus with Jesus
he never claimed that he was God the
same thing happened to Jesus yeah but
people worshiping him now people are
worshiping him yeah the same thing what
is happening to a lot of other people
other So-Cal cult uh group they're
worshiping their gurus they're
worshiping their leaders yeah where all
these good people mon normally like I'm
talking about guat now never in his
lifetime he allowed anybody to worship
Him never once he claimed that he is God
neither he denied God because he do pray
there's frustration yeah in the teaching
of Gat where can they go now if
someone's a Buddhist okay
and we are trying to reach out to the
whole of humanity because caring is
sharing so we're trying to share the
truth so where could they go now to look
to to verify some of these things the
best way is they must come back to the
Quran the Quran is the final book yes
without going back to the Quran then
it's not easy for you to know what is
right what is wron the Quran is not
something new is here to confirm what
was revealed to the early prophets
gotcha there very important that's why
it's it's a blessing yeah that we Muslim
is have the Quran but it's unfortunate a
lot of people who are not yet Muslim
don't have the opportunity to read the
Quran mhm maybe because Muslim do not
encourage them to read or maybe they are
afraid yeah you see there there are
people that I have some cousin sisters
who I I offer her a Quran I say I can
read your Bible can you read my Quran
that's from the devil they'll say have
you heard this yeah sometime and then
say no no no no please don't give me a
book because because we will be reminded
you know there's some may be some magic
there yeah know crazy I say it's just a
book yeah I mean you read every other
book why can't you just read this book
just be open about it so we believe that
if people will open their heart be
sincere about it just read what is
written in the Quran then they'll find
the truth the Islam is not here to tell
you that uh I mean Islamic God that we
believe Allah he is not the LW of the
Arabs or God to a particular Nation or
tribe Allah is he he is telling us about
himself he here
Allah Allah is the creator of the
universe he is
not or any other particular Nation
Pakistani or so on but he is Alin means
the Creator the sustainer of the
universe of everything in all of
everything so this is the god of Moses
god of Jesus God of Adam God of Abraham
God of Buddha yeah God of Buddha too
Budd but tell us now let's go back a
little bit so you mentioned Christianity
so you were born into a mother father
family of Buddhist and then did you go
and become a Christian yes no talk to us
about how did this happen now no you you
see when we are young the time when you
go deeper to the teaching of guat
teaching of Buddhism you find that
there's a lot of
dones no a lot of D that mean you go for
Pure vegetarian example Buddhist you're
not supposed to eat meat no meat no meat
no meat because now this is not from the
teaching of guat no this also something
yes addition yeah cultural influence yes
yes a that because they are very close
to Hinduism yeah you know because even
guat is from India yeah so they have the
influence of this vegetarian kind of
thing of course they have good intention
they said that if you eat a lot of meat
is very difficult for you to control
your desire mm your destructive desire
there goes the fasting y five pillars of
Islam alhamdulillah everything is in but
it's it's it's it's it's been distorted
yeah part of the partial here and there
but when look into Islam Islam cover
everything yes that's why we say Islam
is a complete de Allah
say today I have perfected this religion
for you alhamdulillah that is how the
difference between the early Di and
Islam because Islam is here to complete
and to perfect what is not been
perfected before this yes so if you look
carefully about the teaching of guat I
mean to be fair to this men you yeah you
will never find anything that he said
against the against the pure monotheism
one God one God not three and one four
and one God God man none of this stuff
God having children none of this no none
of this none of this and also you see
what he was his main teaching is divided
into two the Suka and the duka Suka and
a duka what what is that Suka means GL
Tiding okay that means means uh good
news good news and duah means a warning
a warning if you reject the message yes
now you go back to Islam same thing here
the same thing that Allah sent the
prophets to bring two
news good news and bad news good news
for those who respond and accept the
truth that come from one God mhm the god
of every one of us the bad thing is if
you reject
it that means you choose not to believe
in the true God yes it's not good for
you of course because at the end of the
day like you do not appreciate what
Allah the almighty have give you
everything in return you go against him
MH it's not good for
everybody so Suka and duka if you look
into that it's just like bash one Z
yes so but because because of the there
are so many B involved too and the don't
is more than the do it make life very
difficult for people who are very young
age like we so that was you now teen
that's me too many rules and regulations
it's not easy it's not easy it's tough I
mean no woman at the time no lady you
cannot have any relation with the
opposite sex you just isolate yourself
get close to the almighty and then uh
you got to learn how to beg how to be
humble and know they learn how to walk
barefood no all this teaching if you go
back to the Quran even Quran
said don't walk on the earth of the the
on this land with pride yeah be humble
but how do they teach the people to be
humble you must take out your shoes so
you can say it's kind of going to an
extreme now yeah no I'm I'm I'm saying
that they are here to prepare yeah to
prepare the people uhhuh to get ready
for the coming Revolution yeah it's like
Moses prepare his people before coming
of Jesus yeah and Jesus is preparing his
people for the coming of prophet
Muhammad sallallah wasallam so that
that's what so of course this is more on
the the the way to prepare people from
One Stage to another stage yeah and then
we come to Islam is complete okay let's
hold off right there we got to take
another break sh and'll be right back
with more of the story here on the
show if any Christian can point out a
single unambiguous statement where Jesus
Christ peace be upon himself say that I
am God I'm ready to accept
chti it comes to you the truth and the
attribute of the one who created you
that he's one and alone running this
universe that he doesn't become born he
doesn't die he doesn't eat then go to
the bathroom this is not God you got
problems here it doesn't make sense who
was Jesus worshiping because it's
recorded in the gospels despite all of
the other issues about the gospels we
put those aside we just say it's
mentioned there that Jesus worshiped
God back here on a Dean show with sh say
ye so now too many rules and we're
learning a little bit about Buddhism and
we're being enlightened to know that hey
there's pure monotheism in there and a
lot of similarities to Islam but now we
also see that okay as a Young Man all
these rules are not fitting with what
you want to do so you move over to
what's the next step here because I had
that is against my f okay it's also
against my nature as a human there's so
many Dons you know yeah I I don't think
this is correct yes but who are we to
make any
command because now all this teaching
this soall uh
uh all this religious teaching is more
on tradition there are lot of other
thing involved now it's not easy to go
back to the pure teaching of gu is it
kind of like if you go to one Village
they doing something different from the
other one everyone's changing changing
everybody is doing some judgment here
and there so then uh we we make another
hij to Christianity Christianity my my
sister they also very involved in in a
Christian religion okay so I became a
Christian and in Christianity of course
we enjoy life because in Christianity
almost everything is okay now you can
the opposite now now you can with the
what we say kick it yeah meaning like
you can just yeah we're free now free
now just say you believe you believe now
alhamdulillah everything is okay
everything taken care of yeah you got
the JC gold card we put it put it on J
so to us we feel that oh this is good
yeah this is this is more interesting in
life almost you can do anything if you
commit sin you just go to make some
confession and then baptize
alhamdulillah you clean again and you
can just go ahead and let your your your
desires run loose do so this is it now
Christianity
we're going to go ahead this is a very
very interesting story and I'm sure
you're excited to hear how he came to
Islam from Buddhism to Christianity but
you're going to have to tune in next
week for the rest of the show you think
we can continue on with part two
inshallah God willing so we'll see you
same time same channel here on the dean
show with she Hussein ye his journey to
Islam peace be unto you salam alaikum I
just want to say very simple Mass
one of the beautiful things about our
religion of Islam is the emphasis on
Direct ritual and prayer through God
directly there is no intermediary the
lights will go on after the party and
the party will end it's very simple and
very clear there are no superstitious
rituals no strange incantations time is
running out we might not make it till
tomorrow and this is something that we
need to think
about the maintainer coming to the truth
requires two things it requires deep
thinking that you've already done but it
requires another step and that's courage
if you have the truth but you don't have
courage you won't stand up for the truth
and that's as good as standing up for
falsehood I I would say this thing that
you just told me it's not in the
scripture and they would say a marginal
note added by a scribe yeah okay we know
that and I'd be thinking if you know
this is not the Bible why are you
preaching it as if it's gospel truth
[Music]
alhamdulillah alikum peace be unto you
I'm Eddie your host you're watching the
dean show thank you for tuning in to
another exciting episode last week we
had a chance to bring you Sheik Hussein
y who went from Buddhism to Christianity
and we stopped right there and
everybody's excited to hear the rest so
when we come back you're going to hear
the rest here on the dean show sit tight
don't go
[Music]
nowhere this is the
this is the
[Music]
the is
the this is the
[Music]
the
the this is the
the this is
the this is the
this is
the nice to be back again nice to have
you back again thank you for finding the
time to be with us here on the dean show
we're out there we're trying to share
because we care and we're trying to help
people understand the most misunderstood
way of life in the world yet the fastest
growing Islam submission to the one God
yeah
Allah and and and you came to this
realization that this is the truth and
we're trying to because there's Muslims
all over even in China if there was
Muslims on the moon we'd be interviewing
them too Allah so tell us now just to
recap we talked a little bit about your
journey your parents were Buddhists and
you practiced that a little bit then you
came to Christianity just to for the
viewers that weren't with us last week
just kind of bring us up to speed bring
us up to where we left off please yeah
alhamdulillah like I I was sharing with
you the last uh Mee
about uh what we learn from Buddhism and
then how we end up making the first
Hijra from Buddhism to Christianity
Hijra what is that Hijra is migration
migration okay Mig thatan we are moving
uh forward we are going ahead in life
that we keep on moving from better to
best inshallah you you mentioned the the
founder of what people attribute to
Buddhism what's his name again Guama
Guama Guama and uh he had the Bud yes he
had the Bud The Awakening he was a
prince yeah he was a prince he was going
out and trying to get enlightened yeah
because he found that something's
missing in his life yeah life is not
just enjoyment happiness you know and
just all the good life surround surround
you but there must be more than that so
life is full of challenge actually yeah
but he was not being exposed earlier
until till Allah open his heart and he
was exposed to to experience some people
suffer yeah and that's why he start to
look for an answer and that's why Islam
now when you come to Islam again Islam
is the answer for everything even Allah
say life start with suffering and then
there will be ease after the suffering
yes and you will suffer again there will
be ease again there is life so we we
discussed that in part one how you
seeing and being in a Buddhist family
you saw that he did actually believe in
one God yes and you talk about that and
then we also talked about that he never
called people to worship him or to take
him as a God or to give him the
reverence like God yeah no he never
claimed godship never once he claimed
his God neither he denied God he didn't
even deny God he didn't deny God but if
you look in his lifestyle he worshiped
something he worshiped something and he
was talking about inarm Karma we talked
about karma that's the destiny yeah and
then he talk
about that's what all the other Prophet
was say the Glad Tidings the Glad
Tidings yes if you believe in God do the
Good Deeds yeah do the Good Deeds you
get Paradise be humble help the poor
help the needies be kind to people be
loving be good to the environment to the
animals this is Islam is Islam
submission to the one got Peace by
submitting to the owner of Peace the one
God he was seemed like he was living
that life this the same teaching yeah
you know that's why if you go back to
the teaching of when I become a
Christian if you go back to the teaching
of Jesus is the same too same thing the
same thing now now that's where we left
off you were seeing that there was too
many restrictions here with the Buddhism
so now you got I mean my first migration
migration now to Christianity
Christianity okay in Christianity of
course you know we being a Christian
everybody who have been a CHR they know
you can do almost everything yes so is
really make life very comfortable for
you what is for your own desire what do
they say you have to believe they say
that what can you explain a little bit
about their teachings yeah it's simple
and Christianity as you believe in Jesus
is
salvation you don't have to worry about
your future anymore When You Believe In
Christ and then it's okay even whatever
scor committed you don't have to worry
because he's here to save you mhm you he
is here to he have sacrificed crucified
his life to save you so you were a
Christian you believe this of course
when I was a Christian I thought yeah
it's beautiful yeah I mean it's easy it
seemed to be very practical yeah but
when you look at the
AA you know when you really want to know
more about the Creed of in Jes in
Christianity Today you get very confused
now were you serious were you seriously
looking for the the truth how how was
your state at that time yeah no when I
became a Christian when I look at the
teaching is so beautiful at that time I
mean is so caring loving talk about love
love God love Jesus love yourself love
your neighbor I mean it's very
interesting I mean it really moved me
yeah I say if this teaching is so good
yeah the the the religion of love I
should bring it and share with with my
people that's how I I I commit myself in
the Christian Missionary school and also
you went to the missionary school yeah
because I so you weren't now a lay man
you were going to learn really about
this so you can share missionary school
yeah because I feel that it's part of my
duty now is something is so good it's
not right for me to keep it to myself
it's too selfish and it's bad yeah this
good message of God Jesus at that time
is I must bring it back to my own
community my friend and tell them come
come let's come back to God and worship
the true God there's a there there I
believe at that time so did someone
challenge this belief how did you come
to Islam now how did you how long were
you a Christian for a few years for a
few years but I didn't really have any
challenges for anybody but when I want
to prepare myself I got to learn more
about I got to go deeper because I'm
worried if I start to carry out this
Mission if the people ask me I don't
have an answer oh you wanted to be more
knowledgeable now yeah it's important to
prepare yourself yeah so when I want to
prepare myself then I come across this
this concept of Trinity again Trinity
about God the Holy Father the holy Son
and the Holy Ghost or you call the Holy
Spirit okay it triggered me because I I
I don't have it's not easy for me to
believe a
human can become God and why must God
become a human doesn't make sense it
didn't make sense to me but there is
what we were taught at the time you said
oh I asked the father to enlighten me
the father said my son be patient let
the Holy Ghost come and Enlighten you so
I was waiting waiting and know no ghost
come to me so you got to feel something
you got to be yes visited by the Holy
Spirit by the Holy Spirit yeah that's
what I was taught mhm I was waiting and
waiting and it didn't happen to me MH
and in the same time because when you
want to start to carry out this Mission
especially I have a lot of Muslim friend
to and so sad that the Muslim don't
invite me to Islam so I have nothing to
do with Islam I don't know what about
Islam as see this religion belong to
only to one group of people not for
everybody yeah so then I thought that if
Christianity is true Jesus Is God and
these people don't believe that Jesus is
God I think I want to share with them
this beautiful religion now that's like
like you you feel like if they don't
accept this they'll go to hell yeah the
same thing yes of course we believe in
that because there's the only salvation
we have the blood of Jesus the blood of
Jesus that God committed suicide
actually to save you yeah I mean is a
good thing uhhuh you know to me at that
time is good so I want to share this
good thing with my fellow brothers or
friend and then before that I need to
equip myself learn something about Islam
yeah I didn't learn through the Muslim
because I want to carry this Mission
this message of Jesus to them so I got
to get myself
prepared and this is the work of Allah
of course this is part of
Allah's I read the book of s Omar I was
not allowed to read the Quran because
you know in the
60s Muslim don't give you Quran you say
you are not a Muslim you cannot hold the
Quran you cannot read the Quran so what
can we do yeah so we have the
opportunity to read the book of Omar the
second so this is one of the companions
of the last and final messenger sent to
mankind of prophet muham be upon him so
you got a hold of this book yes and
let's take a break right there and we'll
continue on insh inshallah we'll be
right back on the dean
Show born about 60 years ago in former
Yugoslavia today is Bosnia after second
world war can you imagine today you have
one child K too much it's important that
we realize realiz that Islam is a gift
so we believe that in the teachings of
Jesus what is left there is truth in
there but the truth has been mixed up
with paganism and with nature worship
and so Islam has given you a pure
straightforward way of approaching
monotheism stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone if
a lot 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 stand
[Music]
alone peace be unto you welcome back to
the dean show with shik Hussein
and now you didn't get a hold of the
Quran which is the verbatim word of God
now let's just take a side note this is
wrong isn't it because we as Muslims we
need to be sharing the Quran the meaning
at least with the people did they have
the meaning the translation of the Quran
back then they do have they do have but
they were still holding off yeah because
they were they were taught to believe
that this holy book of the Muslim the
Quran is only for
Muslims and no muslim have the right to
tou even to touch it so that's what they
were taught what do you say about this
of course before I don't have any
comment I I don't know what is the real
teaching of G of Islam but later on when
I came to Islam I found that it's very
wrong for them to do that because Allah
himself confirmed in his book in the
Quran in the month of Ramadan Allah
revealed this book as a Divine guidance
for mankind mankind not just the Arab
not the Arab not just the Chinese the or
the white or the black for everybody for
everybody can you see how beautiful the
book of Allah is that this Divine
guidance of Allah is for Humanity for
mankind yes and it's very sad that the
Muslim have fail yeah to act upon this
Ayah yeah they thought that this only
ours book our
you can have you have nothing to do with
this you get stingy now you got stingy
you got to share sharing his carage so
now you don't get a hold of the verbatim
word of God the Quran but you get a hold
of another piece of Islamic literature
or something what happens here
alhamdulillah after read and then is
Allah's hi of course now you said two
Arabic words so they don't think the not
yet Muslims don't think we're saying
some code words here you said
alhamdulillah and he di what did you say
alhamdulillah mean all praise to Allah
for the guidance Allah have given me D
is guidance and you said Allah they
might think it's a moon God no who's
Allah Allah is a Creator yeah is God to
everything okay so this is not the sun
of the moon but the creator of the sun
creator of the sun okay good sorry
please go ahead so when I read the life
history of Omar who was once the enemy
of Islam know it is known for his his
bravery you know and then uh he have
determined he was so determined to kill
the prophet this is a man who you're
reading this book Omar he's the
companion of prophet he was an enemy to
Islam before yes yes of course and later
on he was exposed to the the Quran and
uh he heard the recitation of Surah to
by his
brother-in-law and Allah gave Hi and
then he became a Muslim wow so this is
an enemy of Islam like many people now
they don't know Islam so maybe just
because they're following what the media
saying so now they're having this hat
emity he was one of those people but
then when he came to the Quran himself
the word of God he got guidance he got
Enlighten and he accepted Islam he
accepted ISL so you read the story and
what happened yes then I say oh this
Quran must be very
powerful so if this Quran can change
this man I think this Quran can change
me wow you see I I I have that kind of
feeling now yes I see and then I started
to learn more about what the what Omar
is starting to become the KH the second
KH the in Omar how he was taught by
Prophet muham to believe in one God one
one just one God no butts after that
just one leave it
alone don't play with it no one one and
that's because of that Omar was given
the title by the prophet Sall wasallam
Al far
Allah a man who really
distinguish the through the right and
the wrong from distinguishing right
wrong through no playing anymore yeah
he's a man of his word to the extent
that the prophet said wherever Omar
moov every place that he walked the
Satan will run away yes because the
Burning Flame of imman in him a man that
will not compromise will not tolerate
with any form of shik no setting up
partners with God whatsoever
God Alone worship just him so when I
look at this lifestyle I say Allah is so
simple it's so
straightforward and it's so easy for it
to accept that God cannot be like anyone
of
us know and God cannot yeah be be be a
form of anything but he by
himself like what Allah said
[Music]
say Allah is what Allah everything
depend on
him neither he is a father to anybody or
child to
anybody nothing is equal to him you got
you have children if you don't mind me
asking yes of course and and you have
sons I have son daughters yes but now
God doesn't have any of these
similarities no but you believed this
before didn't you as a Christian that
God had a son yes okay that's what we
were taught yeah but of course it it it
it make you think for a while uhhuh are
you sure you know can a God be a son to
somebody's and then he become the father
himself you're looking at your son he's
going to grow up to have the qualities
like his father but then did you think
sometimes well that's going to that's
two Gods then isn't it
they sure to have two yeah of course
it's not easy it's confusing I'm let's
not because we're going to get confused
and confuse everybody so you get
unconfused and you're coming to Islam
which is simply the call to acquire
peace by submitting to the one God so
what happens now the more I learn about
Islam the more I read the
Quran there is the end that means
there's no doubt that Quran is the truth
it's simple is simple rational rational
all your questions are answered purpose
of life alhamdulillah where you going
when you die everything is clear it's
clear no
ambiguity not only talk about your
relationship with God but also about
your relation with this world with the
environment with the people around you
it's beautiful that's why we believe now
uhuh that everybody who still don't
understand Islam and hit the Muslim if
they hit the Muslim because they look at
the Muslim who show bad example of
course there is their right to hate
anything that is bad but we hope that
they are just to
thems just open the Quran just read read
yeah with with an open heart and open
mind open heart and then be a just to
yourself you be your own judge we are
not here to judge anybody we are here to
share with them to tell them that this
holy Divine book of Allah alran Kim is
for them so we hope that they will read
with an open mind open heart then they
will understand are we Muslim here to
promote hatred no are we here to
terrorize people no are we here to kill
no we are here to save
Humanity we are here to share with them
we are calling them day and we are
praying for them by Night may Allah open
their heart and I'm sure if people who
start to open the Quran don't just Islam
through the people
please you get confused that's why when
I talk to my family members my sibling
who are not yet Muslim if you say the
Muslim I bet I have no comment maybe
sometime you'll find bad Muslim like you
have bad Christian
bad Buddhist bad this bad you have bad
and ugly everywhere if they said muslim
are bad I have no
comment but if they say Islam is bad I
will not allow that to happen yeah
because it's not right for they to
command about Islam when they do not
know anything about Islam so I will say
please read the book of
Allah Islam is not Muslim Muslim is the
people Islam is the teaching and and
people make mistakes people can make
mistakes yeah but Islam is perfect Islam
is perfect it's from the Creator let's
take a break there we WR back here on
the dean show one God worship him alone
do what he wants you to do put your
desires this thing inside you that just
wants this and wants that and you just
can't get enough you know what you never
get enough until the dirt's in your
mouth don't let it come to that be
sincere and honest ask the one who
created you to guide you is the first
step put off chasing all the women and
the good times and the parties and this
and that there is no one worthy of
worship except Allah don't wait you
never know if death would come today for
you or
[Music]
not back here on the dean show with shik
Hussein ye now we got a few more minutes
and I have so much to ask you but so
little time so in brief tell us so you
actually you accepted us tell us just a
moment now what happened okay you
learned this and then what did you do
what did you have to say do did you have
to go get dipped in a pool to become a
Muslim did you have to do some weird
stuff what did you have to do now to
become one who has submitted to God a
Muslim like Jesus Moses Abraham they
were all Muslims they were ones who
submitted to the will of God what did
you have to do now alhamdulillah after I
became Muslim and I start to know that
this teaching is so simple and it's easy
to understand and the cre is so clear
cut the is very
clear say there's one God one God one
God finish yeah and all human
you have prophets of God they are good
people they are Prophet they are
messengers then I found that I'm going
to learn more about this de yeah before
I start my mission again because I love
to share by Nature I love to share
whatever I have I like to share with
others so that's why I get involved in
the circle of studying Islam is this
after you took Shah the test yes so tell
us tell us that what did you have to do
what did you say to become a Muslim a
Muslim is so simple
when I met up with the one of the Imam
in the MOs I have I show him I tell him
I have the intention to be a Muslim and
then he said no problem you want to be a
Muslim just make
Shah
Muhammad make sure Declaration of Faith
they call it saying that I declare from
today there is none worthy to be worship
except Allah alone the one God the one
God and the prophet Muhammad is the last
mess messenger of Allah that's the same
in Aramaic Jesus said Allah so it's the
same God the same God so if you were
living during the time of Jesus is safe
to say that you would say the same thing
except Jesus was the messenger then
Muhammad is the messenger now yes and
Jesus also is every Prophet there is a
title given to them yes like
prophet Abraham KH Allah Prophet Moses
Allah Prophet Jesus say these these
names that you just said these are title
given by God different different friend
of God
yeah the one who spoke to God one who
spoke to God mes and the one who was uh
born without the father that's Jesus
Jesus be upon Him peace be upon him and
Prophet
Muhammad that means the messenger of the
messenger god so you declare that
there's no God worthy of worship except
Allah Muhammad is the messenger now
you're a Muslim yes you actually went on
to study because it's interesting the
more you study these other manmade
faiths you saw the contradictions you
saw the ambiguity didn't make sense the
more you studied Islam you saw that it
was from the Divine and you went on to
become an Islamic scholar this is
amazing you went to study and you got
learned and now you're teaching and
preaching Islam to the world no yes is
important because knowledge is light
without knowledge that's why we are here
we believe that we like to have more
open dialogue with SoCal intellectual
yeah who are not yet Muslim because we
believe that there's no compulsion in
religion nobody can force you but it is
good for soal intellectual
scholars in any field if you want to
talk about Islam you inviting them come
then come to the mosque they're welcome
someone's thinking out there they say
you know what man these are the people
who call the 9/11 what do you got to say
about that we all know we have no no
command about it because it's the what
the media said this has nothing to do
this have anything to do with because as
a Muslim we don't believe that the
Muslim should get involved in this kind
of act because killing innocent people
is again the teaching of Islam did you
just hear that this is clear there not a
difference of opin this is no killing of
innocent we are here to say women
children none of this so this is foreign
to Islam yeah okay so now I'm sure the
not yet Muslim he can relax a little bit
and maybe he can start to take more of
this in because this is something a
programming that the media tries to
vilify Islam and make people a little
more scared we also pray May the people
involved in the media be fair to all of
us to be fair to the
Muslim if you want to know more about
Islam you must ask the Muslim Scholars
yes don't ask just anybody who don't
have any sound Foundation about Islam
it's not right it's not been Fair we
believe this reporter this media they
are good people yes we only ask them to
be fair to us I learned from you I
remember you abbreviate said Islam says
love all mankind
Allah do if if you understand the word i
l m I shall Love All Mankind we want the
best for everybody don't we course so
tell them you got 30 seconds give them
the message of Islam give them your
closing comments and advice please now
we would like to call all the brothers
and sisters who are following this
program number one please try to
understand the de difference between
Islam and Muslim is important if you
have the right understanding then you
know what Islam and what is a Muslim and
also the second thing you must
understand about religion and
tradition the teaching of religion is so
beautiful but when you involve tradition
of course you get confused and lastly
also you must different
between the nation yeah and and
religion yeah religion belong to God
Nation it can come there's no different
and Islam belong to all people that mean
Islam belong to the black to the white
to the Chinese to everybody it's not
only a religion for the Arabs and the
prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wasallam remind us as Muslim number one
I hope our Muslim people also understand
the spirit of this religion he said
the prophet was talking to his um all
the Muslim but the way he addressed them
he remind them by
say why didn't he said oh Muslim oh oh
fish they said that mean the prophet
want his um to understand the message of
Islam is for Humanity For All Mankind
not only for the Muslim
indeed your God is only one there is
Allah whether you believe in him or not
it's it's yours you choose but there's
only one God and all of you came from
one family from one father all of you
from Adam and Adam from soil or from
clay and then the best among you the
prophecy is those who have py not
because of your color your name but
because of your faith in Allah so we
hope insh this Universal Message of
Islam will benefit this umah this human
will benefit all the nation and we will
have more peace and more understanding
by having the right understanding about
Islam read the Quran with an open mind
and open heart if you don't have a copy

us peace within ourself our family our
neighbor and may Allah give peace to the
world Amen by saying
La
Muhammad and we become Muslim and Muslim

why only among the Muslim only in the
