Queens and I started meeting so many
people like getting business cards and
just people started reaching out you
know
um and the the D started open up to you
huh it started opening up yeah oh yeah
it started opening up you know started
doing a lot start traveling a lot and
um I got management and I started
working
you know and even though you know it's
in the Halal and then you try to keep it
Halal when you when you let little
things get in you know it kind of soils
it so I was doing work for Nike for
Reebok I'm working with DJ Green Lantern
that's that was a M&M's DJ at the time
but now he does DJ INF Finas and Jay-Z
we did a lot of different things um we
did a whole mixtape project featured um
W cleff on there um Styles P was on
there you know a lot of other
MC's and
um it kind of you know you start you
started you started chasing it like once
you start getting around it you really
want to start like you want to be big
and you want the money so you know you
start compromising you know you start
compromising your beliefs and you start
compromising who you are mhm and next
thing you know you know my last biggest
accomplishment it was in ' 08 or 07 um I
I submitted a song song
to Grand uh the Grand Theft Auto 4 the
last one that came out and it was on a
video game but they had a special
soundtrack and it was so many artist on
the video game like you know hundreds
that they only could pick like you know
17 artists so it's going to be like
mainly sign artists but they picked four
rappers and it was Nas which was sign
mob deep bust the Rhymes and they pick
me and they picked my song to go on the
soundtrack and they it with a video game
and it sold you know 6 million in the
first week it broke records of how many
albums so people started talking about
the song and the song started being on
the internet and people you know on
websites and just it really started
blowing up but at the same
time uh I was getting really you know
for some reason I I could never just be
comfortable in it I could never my wife
you know my kids I'm looking at them
they're always reminders you know but
you put yourself in these
situations and these situations in the
club you know people smok and drinking
whing and after a while you almost get
yourself caught up so you know
alhamdulillah man had to Allah gave me
the insight and and the courage to you
know to just put everything down to just
you know focus and and
really make a comeback so you had the
the opportunity to deign and go deeper
but what you started to reflect you saw
this this this Grand Theft Idol is not
sending a positive message the song
wasn't it wasn't a positive song it
wasn't a horrible song but it wasn't a
you know it was that that great you know
you you wavered and if I pursued it then
they will want more music like that
that's what that's what they that would
be my first introduction to the world
would be you know a song about guns or
whatever yeah and I didn't want that
we're being tested in this life and
everyone has a sacrifice and if we
sacrific in this life for the Creator we
get the reward in the next life so
inshallah Allah accepts it that you
sacrificed you didn't you didn't you
didn't sell out because people sell out
yeah you know so alhamdulillah may Allah
help us the Creator help us to stay
what's on the way that's pleasing to him
so continue going on you know you you
kind of uh you know you you grew up uh
in Buffalo Buffalo New York Buffalo New
York and we want to reach out to the
people out there who are having a hard
time you know their cupboards are filled
with Xanax anti-depressants or maybe not
even that just uh drugs and alcohol
people have turned to to to the the bad
life thinking it's the good life right
and you had a taste of that and you were
just sharing with me a story right you
were telling me a story about you know
you're you're involved in the community
as someone who was a a former gang bang
gang member mafia guy whatever tell us
about the story it's u a guy who was uh
he was known to be in the streets and
alhamdulillah he took his shahada uh we
I worked with him and um he took his
shahada became Muslim and sometimes your
old life it just doesn't like disappear
you know you you do bad things you got
to pay the consequences so he's been
doing real good you know and recently
before I came out here you know he
called me emergency emergency he was
texting me what was he like for a former
he was a he no he was a like a big gu I
mean he was he was just he was he was
Street boy like a real life like a drug
lord or something like that I W say a
drug lord but he was he was he was like
a big time a bad guy in the streets trer
yeah he a bad guy in the streets you
know um and alhamdulillah I became
Muslim most of my friends who I play
like a lot of my friends I play
basketball with who I hung out with when
I was in the streets hanging out they
become Muslim so alhamdulillah like you
know B Allah that they can relate they
can relate to to what I'm saying and
they and they see me when I was down and
they you know see me now that I'm you
know more conscious and getting involved
in the community and pulling these guys
away from these situations and he called
me alhamdulillah but he want what he
wanted to do was Street retaliation
stuff and I we went to the massia and we
kicked it so you were saying the guy
tried to shoot at him guy guy he saw the
guy he he seen he didn't know the guy
though yeah like I guess it was some
some gang stuff going on from one side
of town other side of town he was just
going to to the store yeah and he just
came back in town actually you know he
went to the m sh in Virginia and he came
back and somebody shot at him so he
calls you now so he calls me and says yo
somebody shout at me this is what I want
to do I want I want to get whoever I
think it is and I said so he's doing his
Instinct that's Instinct for him to say
you know run up run up in a mother house
whoever and get him whoever who he
thinks he don't even know who it is
that's the street mentality that's
Street mentality that's before Islam
though before Islam Islam calms you down
put you on the right path you don't
think like that
so what happens next so I go I pick him
up the person who thought it was I knew
the person who thought it was so I went
and I investigated and and because this
the guy was from my for my my old
neighborhood so I went investigated and
it wasn't that guy so I went to him and
explained that you know you have to have
witnesses first of all in Islam you just
can't do do do something without having
Witnesses and knowing that you know
appropriate you know way to do it and we
went to the Mas and we talked and we
talked you know talk about prophet
Muhammed wasam and he was like you're
right man and alhamdulillah he didn't do
anything and he he just prayed and he
you know showed his growth cuz so the
the situation is diffused diffused even
we can't even take the law to our own
hands can't take law to our own hands
yeah so you diffuse the situation and
now is this brother coming around that
his character is changing becoming a
better human being all around Yes Yes
Man beautiful and you've seen I mean I'm
sure you've seen some of the the most
you know corrupt people yeah have you
seen them and then how after they you
know submit to the will of God submit to
the will of that's what a Muslim is
right but some people like right now cuz
we have a lot of not yet Muslims out
there people you know everyone I say
always always that everyone has this
potential to submit to the Creator but
someone says look because nowadays you
have all this false propaganda with
violence being attributed to Islam and
they say yep that feeds into it brother
got two swords around his neck he's
ready to chop us up what you got what
you got to say about that this this
right here is just a shield of the as
the ottoman ottoman Turks yeah you know
and it's also a symbolism of I represent
I protect the Purity in in in in in in
in the art of poetry you know I protect
it you know but it's not like no this is
you know this is if you listen to my
lyrics you just know like oh he's not
that type of guy yeah but but you know a
protector of the art keeping it pure and
keeping it you know Fe Allah yeah so
it's not promoting to cut somebody up
bro no it's not it's it's not gold or e
no it's not gold either man it's brass
man got people thinking all sorts of
thing we want to just you know uh
skeptic out there just answer clear his
doubts we're gonna we're gonna continue
on with this interesting segment here on
the dean show with my brother and your
brother Kadir Latif here on the dean
show don't go
anywhere is your boss driving you crazy
are you just living from paycheck to
paycheck party to
party and everything is just getting
getting tiring it's getting played out
and you're asking yourself what's this
all about what's the purpose many people
don't reflect and why am I here you're
born to die and then what do you got in
between it's a big drama some days are
good some days are bad some days you're
sick some days you're sad we not we
might not make it to 855 years old we
might not make it till tomorrow and this
is something that we need to think about
the lights will go on after the party
and the party will end and you will be
alone and you will have to be
accountable for everything you've done
life is not all about just chasing that
man or woman or that good time it's not
all about the baseball game and the
basketball game and chasing a position
and getting a lot of wealth and money
there's more to this life and it's up to
you to be sincere enough within yourself
and to want to know more what's the
purpose what's it all about life
[Music]
o
ooh
ooh show us the
way to
Allah's this is back here on the Dean
show and we're talking to brother Latif
tell us now you know for the for the
person who like they love turning into
the dean show because you know we talk
about real issues we try to connect with
the people who are living in a culture
that is cool to be bad exactly right and
it's cool to be out there in the
nightclubs you know uh taking advantage
of the women women flaunting for the men
and and getting taken advantage of so
you're you're also out there now someone
who's trying to help invite people to
goodness that good organic way of living
a good wholesome life that's pleasing to
the Creator because we know that you
know at the end we're going to die and
all this stuff is just a false Mirage
that people are chasing so what do you
when someone is out there you know they
they're like you know what I don't want
to talk about religion you know all
religions are man-made how can someone
be sure that look Islam is some is a way
of life that's from the Creator it's not
just like every other man-made religion
right if you
believe in not believing in God you
still believe in something and this is
the concept people don't understand if I
say I believe in God you say okay I
don't believe in God you still believe
so you have the understanding of belief
but some people look at you know science
and say well you know science everything
was created through science but even
Allah God created science if you look in
the Quran Allah talks about the clouds
meteorologists you know 20 years ago
just start you know discovering that
when the clouds get a certain size 25 30
feet they shoot out hell Hell Comes
forms they layer and then hell drops in
the Quran it talks about Allah said I've
put mountains in the sky and they hit
and and the hell comes and hits who he
pleases who he Wills so meteor
meteorology just the they they they
study that and stud Kanan say how did
the Quran know that talks about the moon
how the Allah used he he he Compares it
to a a palm a palm leaf cuz the palm
leaf was wet and and it dries out and he
say a dried you know a dried palm leaf
and he said this is the moon but the
scientist say the moon used to have
water in it and it Dy and it dried out
how how is this discovered how the two
seeds meet together the clean and the
pure and the salt and they never
transgress with jao found this out if if
you how 1,400 years ago Prophet Muhammad
peace upon Him wasn't a scientist you
know and also look at the nature look at
the nature of Islam the Brotherhood in
Islam it's something that's it's a
special bond where I know guys who went
to jail one guy went to jail another guy
was in the street took his shahada
friend of mine he came to the mass
we praying together we've been praying
for like the last couple months the guy
gets out of jail and sees this this guy
now this guy took like some dope like
robbed him for some for some drugs in
their time of in the streets in the Duna
they seen each other they hugged and
cried and loved each other because they
both so they hated each other back in
the days of ignorance they both became
ones who submitted to the will of the
Creator Muslims and now they got this
love between now they love each other
you know and this is all coming from
Islam how Islam you can't like have a
kofy on and okay I'm I'm going to be
Muslim you Muslim I know you Muslim and
I'm going to shoot at you we're going to
be whatever you know you see this
sometimes in the in my community you see
people who say most of these guys
killing each other they say they
Christian that's that's their
understanding but there's nothing to
stop them and say okay I'm going to kill
you you going to kill me it's just like
I think the the example of Jesus Alam
has been kind of like smothered out a
little bit the true example so Allah
says I've sent this Quran you know not
as a new religion but as a a president a
and a confirmation of what I once sent
when you look in the Quran you find
everything about Jesus you find you find
Muslims doing everything Jesus do we
greet we greet peace be upon you may
God's peace and blessing be upon you
this is how Jesus greeted may peace be
upon him when we pray we prostrate to
the floor this is how Jesus Abraham
Moses postr to the floor they wash their
hands feet in their face this is what
Jesus Moses and Abraham did we don't eat
pork and then let's talk a moment about
pork ham bacon pepperoni these are some
of the things that the scripture tells
us we should not eat you know we don't
we don't drink alcohol the first miracle
and of Jesus was turning water into wine
this is according to the into the Bible
but the first miracle in Islam was Jesus
speaking from the cradle and if you look
at the story of the wine turning water
into wine you look at a contradiction
because the master of the ceremony
according to the Bible said why have you
brought us the good wine after we have
been well drank
the scholars say that was about he made
about 450 gallons of wine that's what
Jesus made the the the the the MC of the
ceremony said why have you brought us
this good wine after we have been well
drank the sin in the Bible is to be
drunk so after you've been well drank
meaning you drank the good wine then you
drank the bad wine that was the
tradition and after that tradition I
mean according to the tradition they
drank the good wine the bad wine then
Jesus made 450 more gallons for a group
of 300 to 350 amount of people then
they'll be getting drunk but you find
these consistencies of alcohol you find
mentions of of incest that the prophets
did incest you find mentions of
drunkenness you find a drug mentioned in
the bible it's called manand Drake a
Mand Drake also known as the devil's
root it was used medically for
anesthesia but it was on the black
market it was used as a date rape drug
like a like a ecstasy so you find two
stories in the Bible
of mentioned in the songs of Solomon
that someone is taking a mandr according
to love I love my love the mandres are
fresh meaning I love you we're going to
take this mandre it has nothing to do
with medical but you find the Roman or
European culture twinkled All Through
the Bible with a lot of incest with
drunkenness but in Islam Allah clears
all the prophets of those things so
Islam is just bringing you back you know
to the pure that man has corrupted in in
in the Bible and other yeah many many of
our brothers in humanity don't know that
that we we believe that there is some of
the word of the Creator in the Bible but
it's been contaminated been corrupted
that's why you see some of those false
stories that are attributed to the best
examples of mankind you'll see the
prophets were the best they can't be you
know doing horrific crimes and expect
you know us to be you know Saints and
Angels right have the best behavior if
they're doing they have to have the most
pristine character and that's what Islam
Allah clears them of all these false
false Notions like you know like you you
mentioned the incest uh what was that uh
Prophet loot with his if you just just
quickly on that if the Christians
believe if you believe a sin is a sin a
sin is a sin we're going to say a sin is
a sin that's the that's what the the the
Christians believe the Bible teaches sin
is a sin so if a sin is a sin why did
God save lot and his daughters right now
when he sent this Brimstone and it's
firing Brimstone down it came down and
it came down so quick it's like somebody
shot a gun in this room me and you will
hit the floor that's how it hit boom
don't look back just run so they run to
the mountains right now later on that
story his daughters get him
drunk at what point in time did they did
they say boom the fire and brimstone
come down hold on let's wait let's get
this wine oh hold on like no they they
didn't get wine when would they get wine
you can't even look back it was that
serious so they went and got the wine
went to the mountains got him drunk
which was a sin incest which was a sin
fornication which was a sin so you
looking at one sin that of the
homosexuality if for Sinners of sin they
did their one sin that's their one sin
they did three sins why will God protect
them and and abolish them and do and
keep them you know it's a contradiction
a crime is a crime yes a crime is a
crime but there are different levels of
penalty to every crime they say that if
you look at someone in Christianity that
is just like doing it but Allah says if
you look at her if you go get her number
but you remember me and say no I can't
do this Allah reward you for
self-restraint and you're not rewarded
for self-restraint yeah now yeah before
we get off this topic I mean but did you
clear because you obviously you studied
the Bible a little bit you did most
people who've accepted Islam you know
they they look and they look at the
different religions they you know and
then they come to Islam after they've
investigated everything else most people
become atheists because they see that
all these contradictions in the man-made
religion so they put it all in the same
bunch and say all of this is man-made
but there's no way if you really
scrutinize Islam you look at it
sincerely you'll see that it cannot come
from the creation it comes from the
Creator now this idea you know we we we
never want to hurt anybody's feelings we
sincerely want you know to educate the
people and have them really look and
think you know beh behind just blindly
following their culture their ancestors
or their uncles fathers you know closest
of kin and think for themselves you'll
never find anywhere in the Bible where
Jesus ever said that he was God to
worship Him Do you ever find that never
you don't you never find that he says I
am God you find someone else saying it
but you never find him taking
so sunship either you never find him
saying every time you said I'm a son he
will
say my God your God mhm I'm I'm a child
and you're a child you know he always
made reference our father he always made
reference to not just him never never
did he take Soul ownership of just I'm
just the son no he said we are Sons yeah
we are children yeah so I mean that's a
Son of God was someone who was Pious
righteous close to God if you really
look if the AFC African-Americans look
back at their history if you can go you
watch the was it the
roots he was Muslim he was one who
submitted to the will of God isn't it
was the majority of Africa they were
Muslim any any African-American who goes
back to deep to his roots the richest
the richest man that ever graced the
crust of this Earth according to uh
today's Discovery was manakan Khan Musa
who made Hajj and who went to Egypt and
gave so much gold away that he changed
the economy for 20 years this is manakan
kusu the king of
Mali in the you know 13th century you're
talking about look at look at Africans
and look at the timbuk to and the first
universities where we we're built around
three masjids so this is something that
shows you that before we came here we
weren't but the Bible has certain
passages that say if you're a slave and
you're a Christian slave work even
harder for your master so who that
benefit no they had to take Islam from
us and they had to force us to to accept
the doctrine that enslaved us I heard we
got to go to break but I I heard you
know this is historically true where you
know the African-Americans were were
were giv
the the Bible and then they they gave
the African-Americans the Bible and then
took their land took their land they
gave the Bible and and it made them
submissive but the same person giving
you Heaven would never give you hell and
the same person giving you hell would
never give you heaven so if I hate you
and I'm going to rape your mother and
rape your babies and rape your husband
raping a man man raping a man and and if
they going to do all that they GNA say
hey I love your buddy here find Jesus no
that's that's not how it works yeah and
as Muslims we love Jesus no Muslim is a
Muslim like you believe in Jesus but
like brother just said many Christian
Scholars who have accepted Islam nowhere
that Jesus ever claimed that he was God
a little son of God but he worshiped God
he was a Muslim one who submits to the
will of God we'll be right back with
more here on the dean
show this is
my he was always been
stubborn he started having his problems
up fight one night policeman called me
you father come on get him from the
station one fight here another fight
there his physical being was great for
his ego but it left him empty I'm
running here running
there from the outside people looking in
said hey this is the man everybody knew
Eddie at any given moment he could have
seven to eight women that are running
around the club looking
for he did things that he uh he pushed
himself to the ethical extremes that he
could I have to get out of this
totally right near the end there there
was just a void it was a constant
struggle his inner soul was broken at
that moment there was that emptiness in
his eyes it was a bigger emptiness that
I think I've ever really seen in his
eyes
da it was Dr Jackal mide and he was
struggling with that but the effort was
there there's a conscious effort to make
that switch people actually started
talking behind his back look at him he's
trying to be a good guy and
[Music]
creatures CES why we
only's concept was he wanted to start a
sh on Islam and spread it to the
non-muslims
didn't know who I was why are we doing
this take you serious you're living a
dream people just stubbornly resistant I
start looking at you like you're you
know from out of
space I had to be out there and trying
to convince people to be on the
show the first episode of that uh show
aired I think that's when you saw full
formation coming to to this guy's
changed what's going on here he's a
machine you know to see someone change
to see their character changes to see
positive changes in their life it's a
sign uh of
God back here on the dean show and we're
talking to brother
Latif former artist with the soundtrack
that sold six million records on Grand
Theft Auto and you worked with the likes
of Russell Simmons and you investigated
the different religions out there and
you came with full conviction now to
know that I mean because everyone even
if you're born one in a Muslim family
you have to make a conscious decision
because you have many people that are
going with the rituals they haven't
totally submitted
but you you've investigated and you've
seen you know this is indeed from the
Creator so how do you when you when
you're talking to to the to the rough
and tough and you know the brothers and
you know and humanity and people who are
out there on on the streets and they're
just wasting their life gang banging
selling dope selling drugs emulating 50
cents and JayZ what do you tell them you
know to try to get them away from
destroying their lives I mean you you
have to understand the people you have
to understand the culture you have to
understand the mindset you have to
understand the pain the pain is very
important Prophet Muhammad when you look
at Prophet Muhammad and you look at when
he came to
Islam before before he came to
Islam Christians were
thobes atheists were thobes it wasn't
but he he stayed that he kept that dress
because he didn't want to be unfamiliar
he added a kofy under the turban or he
added a kofy so he could you know the
beard so they can different
differentiate so he wanted to look
familiar meaning you have to people have
to know that you can you understand my
plight if he came over there with Su and
Tha then they would look at him and say
first of all you don't you don't you
don't dress like me that mean you don't
come from where I come from so visuals
is is is I feel is is a big thing so
with with with Islam I try to even
though I'm Muslim I try to keep the
dress of the people in my community
meaning I won't wear silk I won't wear
gold I won't wear tight stuff but I wear
things as modest like the Quran
prescribes us so we can first have a
visual understanding that I come from
where you come from second I know the
pain and the hurt and the wants and the
pleasures and desires that this dunor
gives cuz I chased it also but there's
something greater there's something way
greater than
this moment of getting drunk or a moment
of smoking weed or having a little money
and then spend it and chasing it there's
something much greater when you leave
here and I got to ask him do you believe
that do you believe that when you die
what's going to happen is it's going to
be over just you just going to fall
asleep that's not no you got to pay the
play there's a price to everything you
do and I have to remind them that
there's a price and I said look if you
Christian look at Jesus if you look at
Jesus life some people say what would
Jesus do but then but it's not they
don't really do what Jesus did so you
have to say what would Jesus if you
really believe what would Jesus do then
look at the way
Muslims conduct their lives every day
pray without ceasing it says in the
Quran pray without ceasing without
stopping that's in the Bible it's in I
mean it's in the the Bible it says pray
without ceasing so you look at I ask
people how do you pray without
ceasing um just walk and just pray no
how how do you pray without ceasing
without stopping you don't say you don't
stay in the oh you stay in the prayer
mind and I'm focusing and no that's not
it's not it's it's not even you know
realistic but if you look in the Bible
Peter looked at the son and told Jesus
it's time to pray it's a verse in the
Bible that says that I forget the but he
said look at the sun it's time to pray
so you look at Islam and and we look at
the Sun and We Know by certain positions
of the sun going down T night sun down
what time it is what time it's time to
pray so you find these these these
things that confirm each other and and
it pushes them but when when people come
to Islam from you know Christianity or
from the streets they find a peace that
they couldn't find in that life even
though they had money you have people
come to Islam that had so much money and
they may not have the same amount of
money but they have a lot more peace and
this is what Islam gives it's a peaceful
submission and this is what people
really want because the F the natural
increation is to do good and we have to
start aiming at that not judging them
not coming down on them but waking that
aspect of them up mhm through reminding
that's a good good good reminder judging
is one thing that's left for the crater
but giving the sweet advice that advice
that if somebody was give you advice to
invest in a stock that's going to hit
High you know 100% guarantee you'd be
investing right but this Dean when you
invest this way of life from the crator
you got nothing but good that's going to
come from it in this life and definitely
in Paradise in the next so we're almost
out of time but you're you're you you do
this this What's called the spoken word
like poetry yeah with with without all
the um guitars and all the uh other
stuff right you do it just I I I made a
CD with pure natural sounds pure natural
sounds M well no now I do have a I do
have you know according to I had like a
hip-hop CD but I try to make something
that's Hal that I feel you know so you
got you talk about the prayer in In this
yeah right because you got a lot of th
uh people who again this is the advice
because we love we love you know if you
don't love for your you know love for
your for your brother what you love for
yourself you're not truly believing so
we love for our brothers to to connect
with the Creator to the ones who haven't
accepted this beautiful way of life the
way of life that Jesus lived Abraham
lived because Abra Abraham was not a Jew
or Christian he was one who submitted to
the word of God that's a Muslim right
Jesus was a Muslim all the prophets were
Muslim they submitted to to not Jesus or
to human beings they submitted to God to
the maker so after that step there's a
time that you have to commit you know
you don't just fit Islam in right where
you want it you got to fit everything
else into Islam so many people are not
praying but you know not going to Jima
so we want to give that advice and you
give it through the spoken word isn't it
so can you go ahead and share some of
that with us that addresses some of
these things you know the abandonment of
prayer and Juma and some of the other
vices hope motivate you know some people
to to do these wonderful actions okay I
said um
I never ask a man for help I ask Allah
and think about death so I stay on the
and when no one's looking you sneak and
give
Zan leaving out my spot you rush to work
but you late for Sal a Muslim never
brags but his actions say a lot you
don't care St for you don't share St for
La you fear the cops but you have no
talk Allah you want a peace of the
Prophet but not peace for the prophet
want a peace of the pro you want a peace
of the Prophet but not peace for the
prophet see that money is your lord so
you worship an NC you don't invest into
your Dean no spiritual deposit is the
message and the messenger protected like
sahabas got to clean out my closet like
Muhammad did the ca stay away from the
fana when death is upon you so we
running colleges but don't run to
milanas NOAB or Quran you learn words to
a song hypnotized by a thong you ain't
watching for Shan you watch the weight
you put on fantasized by calories while
Palestine count casualties fantasized by
calories while Syria count casualties
and shakes at grave recite Yen over
anatomies where your reality is
Applebees Johnny was hanging slave from
apple trees no apple seeds just
lowercase lies and capital catastrophes
bold print blasphemy italic strip
idolatry and you can find me where the
scholars be saying Alman Al and Malik El
GA got my head on the ground and my
knees on the floor and the devil on my a
Eddie telling me the TR tra it for the
world but I won't trade it for the girls
I won't trade it for the pearls I won't
trade it for the cars I won't trade it
for the G's I got love for my a and I
pull him out the street cuz if you
laying with the dogs then you sleeping
with the fleas and the pen is mightier
so I'm writing l aiz
elaziz no blunts in the air no punks in
my Square no tight jean hair they get
pushed to the RAR to pump in the snare
leave them slump from the fair I got
Shah on my lips asking Allah to bring me
closer to you hold me like a baby Islam
is the truth and that's no an if but
some
babies
damn heyd thank you for being with us in
the I hope that woke up some people from
the uh deep sleep that they're in you
know touch some of the hearts May the
creator of the heavens and the Earth
reward you thank you thank you brother
thank you Subhan Allah alhamdulillah you
know praising the Creator you know doing
the wonderful things that he's told us
to do I hope uh you know listening to
some of that poetry woke some of the
hearts up that are in a deep sleep like
the brother said hypnotized by a thong
or some Jay-Z song I mean that stuff's
really not going to help to develop you
to be the best human being that you can
be and and that's you know what the
Creator wants from us that's why he sent
Messengers throughout time and none of
them called human beings to worship
human beings you know Jesus never called
people to worship himself you know
Abraham Moses and and the other
Messengers that the Creator sent
Muhammad being the last they all came
with the straightforward simple message
worship the Creator not his creation and
do good prepare for death because after
death you're going to be judged it's a j
day of judgment people want Justice and
you might have went through all sorts
of trial in this life because this life
is a test and many people might have not
gotten brought to Justice and everyone
wants justice so what would it be if the
the person who believed in God and gave
the most out of their wealth and at the
end that person suffered so much I mean
and they just died it doesn't make sense
in the next life they'll be rewarded or
the criminals that just did all sorts of
scandalous things ripped off everybody
and their mother and killed everybody
killed and and and and pillaged and
raped at the end it doesn't make sense
that that person just dies and that's it
it's finished the Hitlers of the world
for example that's why the day of
judgment it just makes sense it makes
sense and that is what all the
messengers of God brought and taught
they gave the good news that if you do
good suppress your desires work for the
Hereafter be in this life as a traveler
but be the best that you can be you know
whatever career you chase be the best
but be a best and don't forget the test
that we're living and then prepare you
know for that day of judgment and they
also gave the warning about the Hellfire
this is a reality it's a reality so I
hope that you got to benefit continue to
tune in every week here to the dean show
