texted it and he was fascinated by it
now the person who made this video that
Tyrese Gibson after his good friend Paul
Walker died is here with us here on the
dean show that's right when we come back
don't go anywhere this exciting episode
we're going to be talking about this
video that really fascinated Tyrese
Gibson and what was the message in it
here when we come back on the dean show
the this is the this is
the this is
the this is the is
the is
the this is
the this is the
the
the this
the you
how you going how you doing all the way
from Australia very good to be here how
the brothers in Australia very good
alhamdulillah they send you this Salam
to them too to everybody in Australia
got a really great Community there
definitely alhamdulillah you're doing
some wonderful work St may Allah reward
you the crater reward you you got a text
message somebody texted this video you
did it was called what was it called uh
meaning of life the meaning of life some
people are seeing you know some of some
of the video here these guys are like uh
hitting a guitar and and other guys like
got on some uh the uh drums and what's
what's this all about well basically
it's a video to make people think make
people ponder over their meaning of life
you know many people are lost in this
delusion of this world whether it's the
fast cars the woman the the drugs the
alcohol the music the movies the
entertainment we're all just in this
illusion of this world so it's get it's
made to make people get out of this
illusion and start thinking about what
is your meaning in life so
that's the basics of this video now what
happened with Tyrese Gibson you know his
friend you know that's the Ultimate
Reality deaf yes and you know people
again with the whole you only live once
par Walker famous Fast and Furious you
know at the prime of his life yes he got
in a car accident and then Tyrese Gibson
I guess now that's his best friend sad
incident happens but he came across your
video were you shocked
surprised at first I was shocked but
then I was happy you know because
it's it's tragic it's it's not just
Tyrese Gibson it's absolutely everyone
that's alive whenever death comes upon
anyone it makes them start to think and
ponder over their over their purpose in
life as Allah says in the
Quran that verily this world your your
your rivalry rivalry in this world
deludes you until you visit the graves
until death overcomes you then it makes
you think what am I doing here where am
I going and you start to think about
your purpose in life so it's a sad
reality that affects every single one of
us until death hits us we start to think
about these things and it's and it's
good that this is the way Allah brings
us back to him that's very um you know
true many people they don't reflect
about this Ultimate Reality you know
just chasing the material world everyone
everyone falls into this and Tyrese
Gibson I was uh we sent out a special uh
shout out to him you know trying to give
him you know some some advice also a lot
of these celebrities when a tragedy
happens and it happened to you know
someone who was taken away that was
close to him he he said that look this
what what was the exact Tweet now that
he said about your video I think I'm not
sure I think said this gave me life this
gave me life like understanding your
purpose with everyone with everyone this
is a message from Allah you know it's
not from me I'm nothing special but when
you talk about what Allah has sent that
hits the hearts that that is what
penetrates the hearts that's the
interesting thing at that moment of
vulnerability a person sees that you
know what I'm going to be in the grave
tomorrow also doesn't matter how much
money you have and they see the like he
did what that message in the video it
just makes sense you know Islam makes
sense it's not it's not something it's
very rational very rational belief you
don't need to take a leap of faith to
believe that a Creator is in control of
this universe you need to take a leap of
faith to believe that everything came
from nothing that requires a leap of
faith but to believe that you know a
Creator created you in an impeccable
form with amazing eyes that are better
than any camera you can ever get like
I'm I'm into my videography and I can
guarantee you this that nothing compares
to the human eye so it's rational to
believe that it's an intelligent design
this is a rational belief so we got to
get people to start thinking with their
minds but now what do you have to say
some people you know they they're drawn
to Islam they have Affinity to Islam
because it just goes with the innate
nature the it up the but now you know
what when they start to share maybe with
their friends is not the most in thing
the most popular thing say about that
unfortunately the the Shan he does a
beautiful job of distracting us and
beautifying everything around us you
know it's even the most lowly of things
he'll make it look so beautiful I don't
know how the shaan does it but he he'll
distract you with the most you know
fragile of things to keep you away from
pondering over your purpose in life so
we got to start penetrating the hearts
we got to start penetrating the minds
bringing people out of this delusion of
this world to start thinking about their
purp we're going to talk about some more
of this when we come back here in the
dean show don't go anywhere what are we
doing here and where are we going to go
it's like we just woke up one morning
and then it's welcome to the show don't
ask any questions just go with the flow
make as much money as you can and try
your best not to get broke copy
everything you see on the TV from the
hairstyles to the clothes and don't
think too often just do exactly as
you're told and if you ever get confused
then just turn towards the
alcohol you'll still hear your thoughts
then just Turn up the radio as you learn
to live a lifestyle of drugs sex and
rock and
roll but in all honesty I just need to
know is there more to the cycle than
growing and getting old living and dying
just to leave behind a happy home and a
whole lot of property that somebody else
is going to own I just really need to
know before the caskets closed cuz I'm
not willing to gamble with My Soul nor
am I ready to take any chances these are
just simple life questions and I'm just
searching for some answers like what are
we doing here and what is our purpose
how did we get here and who made us so
perfect and what happens once we go or
is this world all really worth it please

below back here on the dean show Tyrese
Gibson look look if you're tuning in we
got the brother who made the video that
penetrated the heart of tyres gibs and
and so many millions of people out there
I mean they got to benefit from that now
the thing is that again going back to
the you know we're not trying to many
people are trying to win win a
popularity contest with their friends
you know with with with u you know
competing with the different actors the
celebrities that are out there trying to
win this Emmy and that Emmy but now many
people forget about uh impressing the
one who created us right so now let's
say a person again Tyrese Gibson
specifically let's say he saw this it's
made by a Muslim the message is clear
but again now maybe he goes to you know
Reverend Run you know Reverend Run his
friend or some others and they start
Shar in this and they start saying you
know Muslims are terrorists you know
what I mean they start to you know it's
not the cool thing you might lose some
some of those friends right what what do
you say how do you look past that get
past that the strength to to accept this
truth first and foremost I'd like to
thank Ty skon because he's done a big
job in dispelling many misconceptions
that are out there so I really thank him
for that and we acknowledge that he's
done very like absolutely something very
good that we can benefit from however
you're right you sometimes da isn't the
cool thing in some instances it is cool
to be the Muslim kid you know amongst
Muslims at conventions like this it's
cool to be a day but then at times
people will frown at you or you know
with all the misconceptions about
terrorism misconceptions about you know
we we don't even need to go there but
it's not the cool thing to do so you
have to sacrifice from your reputation
to give the da and as we know Muhammad
sallam the greatest of all creation he
was ridiculed he was abused he was
called the worst of names even though he
was the best of Mentor best of creation
to have walked this Earth so if he went
through it why shouldn't we yeah the
brothers now uh people are seeing these
two brothers now they were also I
believe they were um what were they
dancers like in the club yes yes they're
my two friends two friends really
respect them they were out there you
know promoting promoting the nightclubs
look the brothers like you know these
two studs man they were out there
getting the women hanging out doing
everything that you know people want to
do but now they're on the dean what tell
us a little about these brothers to be
honest with you I myself I used to
before I got into the Islamic spoken
word I used to be may Allah forgive us
but I say it for the benefit of the
viewers I used to fall into the Trap of
you know the J music the the rap music
and all this and the funniest story is
aan the brother from the video the first
time I ever met him I was trying to buy
concert tickets off of him for rap
concert which alhamdulillah never
actually went into happening and that
was the first time I ever met him and
then I added him on Facebook and I just
see all these pictures at clubs and this
and that and it wasn't the best of
things to look at and I slowly became
religious just before he became
religious and the next time I met
him it was at
Medina in in the prophet City so to to
see that how far he had changed like sub
we both changed roughly around the same
time it was so inspiring because I used
to look at his pictures on Facebook and
I say
this this brother you know we ask Allah
to guide him but it doesn't look like
it's happening but subh Allah guides
whom he Wills how he wills and this
brother was in the clubs you know
promoting dancing everything everything
but Subhan Allah Allah guides him he
wills and it was the most inspiring
feeling to have seen him in the prophet
City it like it it almost brought a tear
to my eye so these brothers now they had
lived for satisfying their Cardinal
desires and for winning those po contest
for fitting in that's how Allah explains
the in the Quran yeah but now they're
living for a higher purpose they came to
Islam to the submission to the Creator
not the creation and Islam is not
something that you just blindly jump
into Islam actually provides the proof
and the evidence and you actually made a
video talking about some of these
evidences in the Quran so for the SPC
out there he's like come on all religion
is just you know you got to just blindly
believe that's not the same thing with
Islam is it again with death it was
death that woke up our brother aan it
was death that made him realize you know
hold on you know life isn't just parties
music day in day out Friday Saturday
Sunday night there's something more
deeper to life you know Allah didn't
create this in vain you know he didn't
give us this impeccable body just for us
something so vain as partying every
Saturday night there's something deeper
and when he realized that he gave
everything up and I think one beautiful
thing about this story in particular is
our our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wasallam said
The Best of You in ignorance are the
best of you when when you come to the
religion and it's funny because they
used to promote clubs and dances and and
and music festivals but now they're
promoting Islam literally they go out
promote Islam they go to music festivals
and tell people come to the MOs come to
the mass and that's just an all
inspiring scene just to see such what is
it about Islam on the one end you go to
the parties you know you go ahead and
you do what people do do um you work
hard during the week you go out on the
weekends you kick it you get you you
experience some kind of enjoyment right
and why would someone want to give all
that up they gave all that up what what
is it that you experience in Islam that
makes you give that up the enjoyment is
not a true enjoyment that you feel at
the clubs the enjoyment is not a true
enjoyment that you feel while you're
listening to music it's a temporary
enjoyment as soon as you know those
notes stop be playing those notes stop
playing and those endorphins stop the
hormones stop and the the chemical
reactions in your brain um reacting from
the music stop it goes away it's empty
empty empty and only in the remembrance
of Allah do the heart's truly fine
dressed and this is a true true
tranquility and rest that isn't
temporary like in music now can you can
you buy some of that can you buy that I
mean you're paying to go to the
nightclub you're paying for the six-pack
you're paying you know uh for for that
pain actually you this it's for free but
it's the most valuable thing on the face
of this planet yeah that one of the
scholars says he says that if they if
the disbelievers knew what we the the
happiness that we feel they would want
to steal it from us with their swords
and that's the happiness we feel it's
tranquility and it's a real permanent
Eternal Tranquility pric Priceless but
it's free do you want it that's the
thing do you want it if you want it
we're going to be talking about how you
can get it too here on the de show don't
go anywhere the ignorance of the insect
can be shown as an example of humanity
just as the insect is fooled by the
bright lights of a trap that would
eventually destroy it man is also fooled
by the bright lights of this world which
would also destroy
[Music]
him although many men have been fooled
in the past some have managed to run
away from the fire before it consumed
them my name is Aon I'm
26 and a couple years ago I was a club
promoter dancer you know big on social
media just everything that was R in life
I I was blinded by shaan like the glitz
the glamour I think to myself being what
I was used to be a dancer jumping in the
middle of a circle and having all eyes
on you and making people clap and cheer
I thought that was glamour I thought
that was wow what a rush my name is n uh
they used to know me as Noah a is my
best friend been made with him since
high school uh we used to go out
together do everything together you know
the promotions the festivals uh the
whole lot you know at the time when
you're there you're enjoying it the way
the environment is girls coming at you
the lights the the music your heart
pounding and you know the Goosebumps and
you know the really good the really good
feeling that everyone wants to search
for and Shan did you know he beautified
everything around me you know from women
to money to acquiring more and he made
it look so so so good that you wanted
more and if you took a bit you weren't
satisfied you still wanted more and I
always felt to myself I can go out every
night you know Wednesday to Sunday night
and just party and hang out and meet
people and socialize and I'm not hurting
anyone with the actual sense I was
hurting myself please subscribe to the

[Music]
below back here on the D show we're at
the mass Ika convention
and we are talking
about some of the more serious things
that people should be contemplating
thinking about some people right now
there might be a brother or sister you
know what getting tempted because maybe
they're at the University and a friend's
been inviting them to this uh the
fraternity sority party right and
they're thinking of going and the person
the brother said come on look honey YOLO
you only live once and you know she's
thinking about it she feels restricted
maybe look I've been I've been so good
let me just do it one time right what
what what would you say to a brother or
sister who are thinking of uh you know
kicking it now I think the most
beautiful Hadith is the Hadith that was
in the video we were speaking about
before where says his example is like
the example of a man who lights a fire
and that fire attracts so many insects
and they Rush at the fire they Rush at
the fire ignorant of the fact that that
fire is going to burn them just because
they're Amazed by the brightness of that
light coming from the fire but do they
know that that fire is going to burn
them and it is the same thing with the
with us we see the bright lights of the
nightclubs we see the bright lights of
the music the entertainment and all
these festivals but little do we know
that if we continue chasing after them
it will only destroy us if not in this
life in the next life and it's a scary
thought but W this is the reality that
we can't run away from you know death is
at our doorstep and we can't run away
from it so if we die in this state
that's it that's it we got one shot now
to get bit reality it's a bitter pill to
swallow but this is uh tell us what what
do you see one of the top challenges
facing some of the I mean we all are
going through the similar problems and
struggles being Canada be in us now
Australia you know I'm sure a lot of
Youth you know they come to you and they
seek your advice what are some of the
Challen one of the major challenges you
see that the youth are facing and and
young adults may all reward brother
um Norman Ali Khan for his today because
I think he hit the nail on the head we
have an inferiority complex we feel
inferior we see everyone else and all
the riches that they have we see the
cars that they drive we see the
beautiful makeup and hair that some
girls wear and we we we feel so inferior
oh look at them look what they have look
what she has look at his look at look at
her boyfriend look at his girlfriend and
we go I want that why can't I have that
why is everything Haram and we begin to
feel so inferior which in reality is
false w we have something that everyone
would die for we have a happiness in our
heart that everyone should die for we
have an eternal the paradise the Abode
the Eternal Abode it's unseen but it's
Eternal and this is the best of resting
places that we could ever wish for and
we have it Allah has given it to us so
why do we feel inferior when everyone
else is enslaved to their desires to
their image as the sh was saying
enslaved to looking good enslaved to Fe
to having the best girlfriend to driving
the best car everyone's enslaved to
these desires when us we are only
enslaved to the one master who knows
what's best for us and who is true to
his promise and who has promised us
Paradise so as long as we follow as the
path he told us to follow how could
someone in short know that Islam is
indeed not a religion organized by man
or man but it's indeed the way of life
from the Creator who created man and
woman and everything in this universe
how can they be sure Islam is the
truth it's a process
first acknowledge your
creator brush aside everything else
acknowledge that Allah exists you know
swallow swallow the arrogance swallow
the you know the pride that you have be
humble you came from a from a you came
from a drop of of seon be humble admit
your reality you were created from the
most glorious of creators it was Allah
the one and only acknowledge that once
you acknowledge that he is your creator
acknowledge that he did not create Us in
vain this impeccable world we are living
in this this Immaculate amazing Grand
world we are living in was not created
in vain there must be a purpose to it
and we are too naive and too ignorant to
figure out that purpose for
ourselves only Allah our creator can
tell us why we are here if you have an
iPhone if you have an iPad if you have
any form of these Technologies
the first thing you go to if you've
never seen it before you go to the Apple
Store why because Apple made the phone
that you are desperately trying to
figure out how to use likewise you go to
your creator and he'll tell you how to
use this body how to conduct your
relations with everyone around you and
Allah has not left us alone Allah has
given us this manual on how to live our
lives from the prophets from Adam
Abraham Noah Jesus Muhammad peace be
peace be upon them all with Muhammad
please be upon him being the final and
seal of all of them and this is the
truth what do you say uh what do you
call Australians Aussies Aussies yeah
okay so you know in in that in that part
of the world there was uh someone who
took some people hostage and we just
hate when it's like oh man I hope it's
not a Muslim right we know what this
Dean teaches what Islam teaches what it
calls to and it doesn't call it that
obviously so what do you have with some
people out there now who are listening
maybe a Muslim got his friend to listen
it all sounds good but why are all these
Muslims involved you know not every
Muslim is uh How does it go I I don't
even want to repeat that I know I know
where you going what you got to say look
um
alhamdulillah the majority of
Australians were mature enough to
realize that this man would this this
action of this man does not represent
our religion they were mature enough to
realize that they know Islam they have
Muslim neighbors they've seen the Muslim
Shak on TV they they know who we are and
they know very well that this does not
represent Islam to the point that they
made a a tweet a hashtag which went
viral overnight I'll ride with you I'll
ride with you yes to show that look
Muslims we're in this together we're
against this you're against this I'll
ride with you too and it was the most
beautiful thing and it was the most
beautiful message to show the world that
you know Muslims are cool you know Islam
does not Advocate these kinds of things
and you don't have to look far to
realize you know the prophet peace be
upon him calls him Mercy to Mankind who
are we to call him anything else on last
minute we have Tyrese you know he was
like I man I want to meet this guy who
made that video or anyone else who's out
there now they're tuning in what advice
would you give
them think ponder over your purpose in
life well we are we only here for what
50 60 our Prophet peace be upon him said
the age of my um 60 years 607 years
we're not here for a long time we we we
need to think about our purpose in life
we don't want our you know the day we
are resurrected to be the first day we
actually think about oh my God you know
why was I here this whole time we need
to think today procrastination is only
helping the the SAT the shaan Satan
we're only helping the Devil by
procrastinating any longer we need to
think about while we're here give us
some thought give us some thought some
deep deep thought struggle struggle and
strive like Allah teaches us in the
Quran those who strive in the ca of
Allah he will guide them he will guide
them so strive and we ask Allah to guide
our hearts towards him because even you
know as Muslims we ask for guidance we
started with peace when with peace thank
you so much pleasure nice it's a
pleasure to be
here thank you for tuning in to the dean
show so really reflect upon this
beautiful advice think Ponder why are
you here just to party and play make a
little money a little dough and then you
spend it and then then what or you
accumulate a lot ofy money and then what
you die and leave it all
behind no there's got to be more to life
but you have to be sincere with yourself
do you want to know really why you've
been created why you're here what's the
meaning of Life Begin by asking the
owner who created your life who gave you
this chance right now that you
have and are you going to just waste it
because death can approach at any time
so start to sincerely ask the one who
created you to guide you and then take
it from there as simple as that give you
a little bit of homework and then tune
