the dean
show alhamdulillah Alum peace be with
you I'm your host you're watching the
dean show and we're here helping you
understand the purpose of life why
you've been created why you're here
where you going when you die these very
important questions that many people are
forgetting to ask they're not reflecting
about they're not thinking about my next
guest like majority of my guests they
came on the light bulb went on and they
figured out you know what money is not
buying me happiness Fame is not buying
me happiness it's not attaining helping
me attain what really my soul needs and
that's something beyond the material
things my next guest was a club Hopper
and Beyond he was a club owner and from
Friday to Friday he was living making
money spending money and he was not
happy at all and then he went from there
he tried to fill that void not only with
Xanax and all the other things that
people start to take when the depression
kicks in but he was dealing with the The
Magicians people who now you go to and
you're just like hey I'm sick you know
what of course you're sick you feel
depressed inside of course you feel
depressed inside because you're missing
the most important thing the connection
with the Creator he was missing that so
then he went to magicians and he went to
susers and you know trying to get a
prescription to feel better the doctors
couldn't give it to them nor could The
Magicians but it had to come from the
one who created this whole universe and
everything in it so he's here to share
his story with us his father was also a
Hindu priest so man this guy's story is
incredible it's amazing you don't want
to go nowhere don't miss this we'll be
right back with his story here in the de

the this is
the this is the dean show assalamu
alikum peace be with you we're back here
on the dean show with our special guest
here our brother your brother all the
way from New York how are you brother
salam alaikum peace be with you w
may peace and blessings of Allah be upon
you thank you for being with us how are
you doing
brother I'm good alhamdulillah now this
is very exciting because you're actually
I believe the first Hindu guest that we
have former Hindu guest that we have on
the dean show so the viewers are excited
to know your story on how you went from
being a Hindu and how you came to the
way of life of all the messengers of God
Islam complete submission and surrender
to the one who created creation but not
to the creation worshiping only God
that's Islam how did you come to Islam
talk to us yeah uh I used to be a Hindu
I come from a strong Hindu family my
father was actually a Hindu priest and
we came from a following Hindu uh a
Hindu background and you know my journey
to Islam is uh a little long and uh
interesting story but in short you know
when I came to to Islam is is through a
business that I had and that business
that I had was actually a a nightclub
and through that nightclub you know it
came to a point where I was going
through a lot of problems in this
nightclub and you know in a in a Hindu
family the first thing that they do as
you know when someone's having an issue
is that they bring you to the Hindu
priest which is a pundit and this Hindu
priest you know the first thing he would
tell me to do is you know uh stuff
involving black magic so I I got
involved with this black magic for a
year to try to better my life because
this is something that he told me was a
part of the religion and in doing so
things still kept going in the downward
spiral and I kind of got a little fed up
and I kind of got frustrated and said
you know how can there be a God if I'm
praying every day to God and making suud
to to to God in the in the idol form and
all these different idols and all these
bad things are happening to me so one
day I had a friend uh who was actually
looking into Islam and he mentioned to
me he said why don't you uh check out
Islam and I said you know why am I going
to check out this terrorist religion and
you know we're all ignorant at the time
so I went to to uh get a Quran and you
know as a new Muslim you know a new
person looking to the Quran you're not
too sure what to expect and looking into
English Quran is a little confusing but
the first Ayah that I came across
looking at the Quran was Ayah from Surah
17 Ayah number8 that said it may be that
your lord may have mercy unto you but if
you revert to your sins we shall revert
to our punishments and it really hit me
because that ay spoke to me directly it
was directly talking to me and I got
really interested and I started looking
more into the religion but the religion
the the Quran explained everything that
I was going through my life it explained
in detail everything about black magic
explained in detail all the problems it
explained in detailed about the people
who worship the idols so when I saw
these things I still wanted to dig
deeper into Hinduism but I noticed that
Hinduism said you should worship one God
and it says that that God is has no
shape or no form and when I saw these
things you know I said you know I'm
going to look more into Islam and when I
did I decided to take my shahad
alhamdulillah tell us now what are some
of these hind what are some of the Hindu
beliefs what do Hindus believe um the
Hindu belief
Hindus they really follow tradition They
Don't Really follow any specific
specific book because if they did their
actual text The Vedas the bagita the
upas the poras all these different texts
says to worship one God that he is one
supreme being without a shape without a
without a image or or without appearance
or or offspring but the Hindus they
actually worship many gods they believe
that God manifested in different forms
so they worship an individual God based
on what they need such as if they need
wealth they'll worship one God for that
if they need power or or they going
through hard times they worship another
God for that for death they worship
another God for that but in the Hindu
Scriptures it says that they should only
one God should be worshiped and the
Hindus instead of following the
scripture they actually follow their
tradition so they in in in following the
tradition they in turn worship multiple
gods and multiple statues and multiple
images of something representing what
their their idea of a God would be now
that you found Islam tell us does it
make sense is it clear is everything in
Islam
Lucid with Islam now everything makes
sense uh with Hinduism I was always
confused I always wondered why couldn't
I just talk to God and say God you know
just help me out just give me give me
give me something down here but with
Islam everything makes sense now I mean
I have in detail an explanation of what
whatever question that I may have I have
in detail what's going to happen to me
after I die I have in detail what the
purpose of life is I have in detail of
what why the trees grow why everything
happens you know the difference is night
and day now that you've left the
nightclub scene you've left that life of
debauchery following your lust and
desires are you truly happy
yes at the nightclub it's it's something
that that a lot of people want they want
the wealth they want the attention and
people in the nightclub it's a fantasy
that they're living they're they're
basically trying to live out a movie
scene they're basically trying to just
indulge in every fantasy that they have
and I personally think you know the
lifestyle that I had then and the Lifest
that I have now yes I may not have the
wealth that I have then but this Dean
that I have this religion this Faith
this this knowledge that I have now
nothing in the world can buy that back
no money in the world can amount to that
I had money then when I had the
nightclub I had Fame I had I had wealth
I had everything I ever wanted in the
nightclub but I wasn't happy there was a
void there was a void that it was
longing to be filled and with Islam
Islam came and filled that void and
there's no money in the world that that
that can buy that back from me now tell
us before you came to the realization
that Islam was the truth and we know
it's based on proof and evidences for
anyone who takes a sincere humble
approach and analytical approach they
come to the same realization as you have
that Islam is indeed not a man-made
religion but it is from the creator of
the heavens and earth but before you
became a Muslim before you started
practicing Islam did you look into some
of the other man-made
religions yes I did look into other
religions I wanted to disprove Islam
before I even accepted Islam so I said
if Hinduism wasn't the truth then maybe
Christianity is the truth and when I
actually looked into the Bible and
researched the Bible it was kind of
confusing to me if you have ever looked
in the Bible it's a very confusing thing
but I was trying to adopt the belief
that Jesus was God or the Son of God or
the Holy Spirit but in the Bible it
clearly says that God is not a man that
he should lie nor the son of man that he
should change his mind so if the Bible
says these things the Old Testament says
these things why are we why should I
believe that God has a God has a son or
God is is a man or God is all these
things that some Christians believe so I
did look into to to the multiple
religions I looked into Judaism until I
found that that you can't become a Jew
you have to be born into this and it's
the same concept with Hinduism Hindus
believe that they're so special just
like the Jews that you have to be born a
Hindu and the Quran explained every
religion in detail it explained
Christianity it spoke about Jesus it
spoke about Judaism it spoke about the
Hindus which were cons which were known
as the pagans and it spoke about all
these religions so the Quran in the
sense it it gave me the answers for all
religions in one one thing let me ask
you this was it challenging being a new
Muslim oh yeah it was a it was a great
challenge becoming a new Muslim as most
people when they learn something new
they want to share with the world and as
I said my father and my family was a
following Hindu my father actually was a
Hindu priest so when I was learning
about Islam and I learned about the
truth of Hinduism the first thing I did
was go to my parents and say you know
Mom Dad did you know that this says this
did you know that you're doing something
wrong why are we worshiping these Idols
why are we doing these different things
and it was it was a big shock to them
you know we grew up following the
religion of of our forefathers so my
parents they took it very bad it's not
something it was it was not easy Road
for me you know for the first year of
becoming Muslim my parents didn't really
fully know that I was a Muslim my mother
would ask me you know why are you
growing this beard my dad would say go
shave your Beed you look like a
terrorist what are you doing and it was
so it was so difficult because I had to
hide to pray my Salah I had to hide to
do different things I had to hide to go
to the Masid I had to do I had to hide
doing everything that I that that I was
supposed to do and there's nothing that
I could have said to my mother or said
to my father that would convince them
otherwise I tried everything and and
every time I would ever mention Islam to
them it would only make them angrier and
angrier and angrier so it it was a def
definitely a difficult Journey for me
amazing amazing tell us what what did
you know about Islam before you became a
Muslim before you submitted to God
before you started to follow Islam what
did you know about
Islam well before I was a Muslim we
basically believe on what the tell us to
be what Islam is whatever the media says
or portrays the Muslims to be is what we
were believed is what I believed when my
friend told me he was looking to Islam
the first thing I said to him was why
are you telling me about this terrorist
religion I remember times when I was in
high school I would pass by certain
masjids and I would say you know look at
these guys plotting to do something you
know but once you start looking into
Islam you notice that it says you
shouldn't take the life of another
there's no such thing as suicide you you
can't you can't do all these wrong
things you know whoever takes life in in
life is as if he've killed all of
humanity and this is what the Quran says
that one ay in the Quran alone shows
that Islam is not what the media
portrays him to
be okay for all the millions of people
who are viewing the dean show and many
of them they need the advice they're
still stuck in that trap living for the
moment so for those people living in the
moment chasing their lust and desires
what advice do you have for
them for people that are living in the
moment I was one of those people I my
motto in life was to live every just to
live my life because time was short we
never thought about death we never
thought about what's going to happen
then we just lived our our every fantasy
and to the people that that right now
that they might want to be living their
fantasy they just want to do everything
that pleases them at the current moment
they have to remember that they're not
promised tomorrow none of us are if you
go to any random person ask them when
are you going to die they'll say I don't
know but we all know that death is
promised to us we're all going to die
but is this life in vain they should
think about you know is this life my
advice to to the person that's living
their every fantasy and just is doing
everything to please themselves and not
care about anything else is what's the
point you have to ask yourself what's
the point of this life what is the
purpose of this life are we just here
for nothing are we just here to
accumulate wealth are we just here to
just live every fantasy and then die you
know is if that's the is that the
purpose because then realistically it's
just no point to this you know what's
the point of just someone being a
murderer and just killing and just
that's his fantasy is that correct
correct in his definition killing is
what it gives him his pleasure you know
is that justice so think about the your
last moments that you don't know when
that moment will be and if you justify
that you're just having fun you're just
going to Club you're just having one
drink that's what the murderer is saying
that's what the one who molests the
children is saying they're just saying
I'm just doing this because this makes
me happy this is what life is about so
then you have no right to say okay that
guy is a bad guy for killing someone
because he's doing exactly what you're
doing in a different fashion he's living
out his fantasy and he's living his
pleasure your pleasure is drinking your
pleasure is partying partying his
pleasure is killing is he Wrong by your
theory think about those things and then
ask yourself can this can just having
fun and living out your pleasure really
be the purpose of life or is there
something more and thank you so much for
being with us here on the dean show
thank you for having
me and there you have it another Amazing
Story here on the dean show his father
was a Hindu priest
he was a nightclub owner and that is
what surrounded his life music
entertainment and many of us are just
getting entertained and we're not
thinking about death and what comes
after death so we're getting caught up
with the live by the moment experience
all you can just go ahead and enjoy life
don't take it too seriously you're a
good person you're not hurting nobody oh
yeah really but if you go to your your
boss and you you you expect to get paid
but but you're not fulfilling the duties
the rights that your boss has upon you
the work obligations that he has upon
you you're the employee or now you're
the employer and your employees are not
doing the job are you going to pay them
or can you expect to get paid how in the
end how in the world do you expect to
get Paradise how in the world do you
expect to be successful when you die on
the day of judgment if you're not living
life according to how God Almighty the
Creator who created you how he told you
to live you're not even asking you're
not even asking for the guidance asking
God there's so many people that we ask
say have you asked God to guide you
everybody has some philosophy has some
ideology even if they're not following
religion they make up a religion in
their head they make up some crazy way
in their head and they think they're
going to go ahead and pass this along to
God and say hey God you know what uh go
ahead and accept this with all my funky
ingredients in it no you can't just live
a life of debauchery and live a life of
Hedonism and just you know lying
deceiving cheating and doing all sorts
of scandalous things and expect to die
and just say God give it to me Paradise
which is eternal forever ever no you got
to live a righteous Pious good life but
let's say you've done all those bad
things but you turn to God with a
sincere heart he's the most loving the
most merciful he forgives all sins but
you got to do it now before death
reaches you because Paradise is what
we're aiming for we're shooting from
high above the Stars we're shooting for
Paradise that's right that's our
original home Paradise that's where our
our our great grandfather Adam the first
man that's where he was from that's
where we want to go back to we want to
get to paradise and we want to avoid the
Hellfire let me tell you a story before
we head out you know when when this is
not a had for nothing but we know when
when death When Death talked to life and
said hey you know talked to to to each
other and he said hey what why why why
do people love you and hate me why don't
people love you and hate me so life
looks over at death and says hey because
you're the bitter truth and I'm a sweet
lie so don't get caught up with the lies
that are around you all the detainment
all the reality shows and all the things
that are just wasting of your time a
waste of your time first and foremost
get around good company start asking God
