how to avoid stealing avoid avoid
stealing okay good that's the next
project yes mashallah Omar let's talk
about Islam now yes okay because in this
program we like to educate all of
humanity who are tuning in from all over
the globe and I told him when I opened
the show that Islam is so simple because
it's from the Creator and I I usually
Define what it means but I'm not going
to do that because that's why I'm going
to ask you the questions now because I
said that Islam is so simple to
understand
even a young boy such as yourself a
young child can understand it and
explain it so let's start with Islam
what what is Islam actually mean Islam
means submission to the
Creator that's it submission to the will
of the Creator and all the prophets and
believing in all the prophets and all in
the day of judgment okay so that's
that'll lead my next question so now
you're mentioning the articles of Faith
give me the Artic the six articles of
faith the belief that's the belief of
the Muslim what's the belief now so we I
asked you what the what Islam meant you
said Islam means what submission to the
of the Creator okay so now what is the
belief the articles of Faith the belief
is to Believe In One and Only God the
day of judgment okay hold on hold on
hold on so belief in one and only one
God yes okay next the day of judgment
okay you got the day of
judgment and then the prophets to
believe in the
prophets and then the Angels the
angels and then the books the the books
okay and then the the K the predestiny
okay so you got six okay got belief in
God The Messengers The Angels got the
day of judgment in there and the destiny
the predestiny this is the this these
are articles of Faith so now what you
mentioned some prophets yes okay can you
do you know the names of some of these
prophets yes
Adam Noah Abraham
Jesus
Moses Salon
David
and the um and the prophet Muhammad be
peace be upon them all that's the last
prophet no more prophets to come no more
Messengers he was the Seal of the
prophets no more after him but that's
amazing because you you said that Islam
means submission to the will of God to
the Creator you said the Creator and
then all these Messengers did they come
with Islam yes beautiful so some people
get these crazy ideas right we live
sometimes you know we live in a crazy
world sometimes where we we hear crazy
things right yes so it's our duty to be
good to do good and to help clear up
many of these misconceptions that people
have so one of these misconceptions
people have that Islam is maybe some
crazy cult or some terrorist religion
what do you say about that no Islam is
um a religion of Peace a religion of
Peace yes didn't we when we started the
show I said assalamu alaykum yes and
that means what peace peace with you
right all right mashallah we started
with peace and we usually end with peace
but we're not going to end quite yet
we're going to take a break how's that
yeah is that cool yes all right we'll
take a break and we be right back with
more with 8-year-old Omar here on the
dean
show so as the last and final messenger
sent to mankind the prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him he told us to really
reflect often about death reflect upon
the destroyer of Pleasures many of us
are delighting in our lusts and our
passions we're chasing this world we're
chasing that dollar we're chasing all
the material things we're working on our
physical physique and we're working on
our minds but the soul we're neglecting
it so before a situation comes where you
might end up in a hospital you might end
up with no legs you might end up with no
eyes you might end up in a
situation that you won't be able to even
make a prostration to your creator you
won't even be able to do the things that
you're doing now some of the hard hearts
that just have gone away that they've
made money there God they've made a
woman their God they've made a man their
God that's all they think about is the
next party or the next good
time but as you see if tomorrow you get
hit by a truck or a car or you fall from
a fall tall building or you get cancer
or you get a disease that you're not
you're you're terminally ill and now you
you lose all these wonderful benefits
take advantage of your health now and
use it in the proper way if you're a
Muslim you know that as Muslims we need
to be praying we need to be establishing
that direct connection with our career
minimum five times a day we need to stay
away from the things that are
displeasing to God Almighty we need to
pray to him alone and not his creation
we need to follow the Sunnah the way of
the last and final messenger sent to
Mankind and stay away from gambling and
alcohol and drugs
promiscuity there's no dating in Islam
and many of the youth are caught up on
the Facebook and using them in an
unproductive way so if you see if you're
a young boy or young girl and you have
parents and you're disrespecting your
parents this can be you tomorrow it can
be you tomorrow that now your health
that now you might be playing soccer
baseball football and now you get hit
and you end up
paralyzed or you end up getting struck
down and you're in the hospital and it's
almost Flatline now is the time that
angel of death can come at any time mot
he's there waiting so are you prepared
for that moment that moment when your
soul will be extracted from your
body are you ready to meet your
creator when you're 6 ft under 5T under
in the ground and the dirt is thrown
over your body then it's too late now is
the time
[Music]
oh
[Music]
back here on the dean show with little
Omar here Salam alikum like slam peace
peace it's all about peace isn't it yes
I mean you're learning Islam are you
having fun learning Islam yes is it
simple to understand yes how many gods
one how about if someone said three gods
it's one just one that's simple isn't it
what's 1+ one two two yeah what if I
said 1+ one is three doesn't make sense
right yes 1+ 1 is two okay simple you
can understand that just like one God is
one God yes so God can't be three and
one just one yes no Trinity no youever
heard it this Trinity no okay just one
God that that's simple to understand
you're I mean want to prove a point that
you know even a child can understand
this concept of pure monotheism one God
and don't play with that one we don't
add or delete are you with me
alhamdulillah so let's go on some people
think that Muslims work worship a black
box in the desert what do you say about
that nope only worship put God okay what
is this what is the box in the desert a
box is a
box you meant that's right a box well
but you know the the cabba yeah so what
do Muslims do at the Black Box the cabba
what do we do there to make pilgrimage
pilgrimage yes that's it simple so that
brings me to my next question okay you
explain the six articles the belief
system of of Muslims okay you explain
the belief in one God belief in the
Angels the books The Messengers the day
of judgment predestiny we got that out
of the way right yes okay simple let's
go to the next one what about there's
some pillars now if you believe this now
you have to act upon it there's some
actions required those are the five
pillars of Islam do you know the Five
Pillars yes go ahead the
shahada the the
cat the um
HJ the F the
fasting and the Salah Salah okay so we
can put those the shahada what's the
shahada to believe there's only one God
and what's the there's another part and
the final messenger and the final
messenger of prophet Muhammed peace be
upon him okay so we got the the look
you're explaining Islam because you
understand the basics of it and we want
to prove a point that Islam is that
simple like I said that an
eight-year-old can understand it and
explain it so we've already got the
articles of fave we cleared up one
misconception about the
the we we know we cleared the
misconception about Islam and some crazy
ideas funny things that people believe
about Islam being like some kind of cult
or with terrorism and you said no that's
not true right yes okay because why
because it's about it's toosa with God
and you said something about peace yes
okay so now let's let's move along let's
go ahead with this word Muslim because I
think it's also very important to define
words we defined the word Islam what
does the word Muslim mean the word
Muslim means submission to the of the
one and only Creator that's the one who
does Islam a Muslim what what does it
mean to be a Muslim um to be a Muslim
means to be kind your family relatives
and neighbor and the prophet peace upon
say that kindness is a Mark of Faith and
whoever is not kind has no faith I like
that and you quoted the last and final
messenger peace be upon Him Muhammad who
was a brother to Jesus Moses Moes
Abraham you know they were brothers
right they they came with the same
message worship the Creator not the
creation yes how about worshiping the
sun no how about worshiping the moon no
how about worshiping Muhammad no how
about worshiping Jesus no a holy ghost
no nothing how about money no just God
just the Creator yes I like that give me
a five all
right yes okay so moving along we
so you said being kind to your parents
who else being kind to family family
friends friends neighbors neighbors and
relatives and relatives yes and who said
this um the prophet be the last and
final messenger and someone who doesn't
have and this is a what a sign of of
what it's a it's a kind this is a Mark
of Faith and and whoever is not kind has
no faith kindness is a markedness of
faith and whoever is not kind has no
faith
yes so that's another teaching of Islam
that's what it means to be a Muslim to
be kind to all these different groups of
people amazing people are learning so
much from you an
8-year-old young man how do you
feel ious a little bit nervous yeah are
you having fun yeah mashallah so if
Islam tells us and it means to be
kind obviously does it does it now teach
us to to AR to hate people to be mean to
people who are not Muslim does it teach
that nope is it teaches to be kind to
people to be kind to people yes great
that's that's what Islam is all about
and you're learning it here on the dean
show with Omar eight years old written
two books two books how to keep clean
and all and keeping your teeth clean and
your hands clean yes you started off
with these simple basic topics God
willing as you get older you move on you
talked about moving on to talk about how
to how to not steal yes okay great so
you're already enjoying good right yes
and do you want to be a a a a d when you
grow up someone who calls people to
worship the Creator not the creation yes
yeah inshallah so we talked about Islam
what that means submission to the will
of the Creator we talked about the
articles of Faith the pillar
and hopefully God willing that the
people the viewers who are tuning in
from all over the
world many of them adults are getting to
learn about Islam from a 8-year-old kid
alhamdulillah
Quran you know about the Quran yes
what's the Quran next question what's
the Quran the Quran is the book that was
revealed to the prophet peace upon okay
you mentioned before when we spoke that
there was it came came where did it come
from did it go straight from from the
Creator to Prophet Muhammad how did how
St from the Creator to the angel griel
then they came to the prophet okay so
from the from the Creator to the the
Archangel Gabriel jelam and then to the
prophet peace be upon him and how many
versions
because people don't know some people
don't know that there
are countless versions
of let's say the Bible for instance
we're not talking about translations you
have you have so many versions okay but
how many versions of the Quran do you
have we have only one version since they
came only one yes not a dozen or 300
versions no okay the same it was
revealed to Prophet Muhammad P upon him
yes that's how we have it yes all right
now that you've explained what the Quran
is it's from the Creator it was given to
Angel Gabriel to the prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him Millions have
memorized the Quran you know that yes
millions and we have it today and it's
original do you know some of the Quran
yes can you recite some of the Quran yes
please go
[Music]
ahead say he's Allah one and only Allah
is the Eternal
absolute he has no children and know he
born and they Parable unto him that is
beautiful that's from the verbatim word
of God from the Creator who sent the
Quran to mankind to tell human beings
that there's only one God he's absolute
he's Eternal he doesn't sleep does God
you sleep right yes you you get tired
yes God doesn't get tired he doesn't
sleep yes a is truly self-sufficient
he's the Creator he doesn't eat or sleep
do you eat yes after you eat yes you
drink also cuz you get thirsty yes what
do you have to do after you eat or drink
usually you say you do after you okay
the Dua but then do you have to do you
have to sometimes go to the bathroom yes
yeah everyone has to go to the bathroom
right yes but God he doesn't eat or
sleep or do any of these things that's
what he's saying in this Ayah that he's
truly self-sufficient he doesn't need
anyone or anything he doesn't even have
to doubt 411 you know
411 information right he doesn't need
nobody so and then there's nothing
comparable to him anything that you can
put in your mind that's not God that's
not the Creator is Allah the most loving
yes is he the most kind he's the most
kind the most merciful that's right
that's the Creator and there's nothing
comparable to him we're going to take a
break can we take a break yes I know you
got a busy schedule can you stick around
for for a few more minutes yes you sure
yes okay we'll we'll be right back with
Omar here on the dean show it's like
when did you think that you had no
purpose are you
worthless the value comes from
purpose your purpose in life is to
worship the Creator not worship your
desires and self not worship social
pressure the celebrity culture but
worship the thing that's much higher and
Transcendent above and beyond by
worshiping God and seeking his pleasure
you get pleased so you have double
pleasure AM 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 by I am not afraid to stand
Al I am not afraid to stand alone if Li
I am not afraid
stand back here on the dean show
8-year-old Omar on The Dean show are you
happy to be on the dean show yes do you
want to say hello to anybody how about
your brothers and sisters go say Salam
to what's your brother what's your
brother's name
tellam
Alum how about your mom and dad you want
to S salams PE wake
up okay so let's few more questions yeah
okay before we call it
quits most people some people have
another misconception that all Muslims
are Arabs is that true no a Muslim can
be from any country
China yes Pakistan
yes Britain yes you can be a Muslim if
you're german yes American yes okay
beautiful so that's not true then that's
that's not true that all Muslims are
Arabs yes it's it's true or not it's not
true it's not true beautiful okay so you
helped clear up another misconception
okay we got that out of the
way do you plan on so you're in sixth
grade yes what do you want to be when
you grow up I be uh half of of Quran
there want to be the police mashah half
is Quran yes so half is Quran is someone
who's also memorized the Quran yes
beautiful and that's a miracle of the
Quran that Millions upon Millions living
people have memorized the Quran do you
know that let me share something with
you do you know if all of the books all
of the religious books were thrown away
into the ocean or you burned them that
you couldn't bring any of them back
except the Quran do you know that that's
a fact why because it's been memorized
and a half is one who's memorized the
Quran masallah alhamdulillah okay so I'm
going to ask you a final question you
ready we talked about Islam so the
person viewing now maybe he's watched
some of our shows and he is fascinated
his heart accepts what's in his very
nature that you only worship the Creator
not the creation right yeah and we
talked about I mentioned worshiping the
Sun what did you say no no worshiping
the moon no no worshiping the Stars no
no worshiping a man no no worshiping a
woman no no worshiping money no no
worshiping cards no nothing only only
God Only The Creator the maker of
mankind so that's what a Muslim means
that's what Islam is we went over the
articles of faith we w we went over the
pillars because talk is cheap you got to
act upon what you believe so how does
one become a Muslim now if they love
what we're talking about and they just
they're sick of taking it easy they want
to do it now they're sick of
procrastinating and they're ready to
take the step forward what do they have
to do they have to justify there is that
there is no God but
God has his Prophet say it one more time
they have to testify that there there is
no God there's no God but God but God
and Muhammad and Muhammad is his Prophet
is his final Prophet yes that's it so
you believe in all these things now you
have to testify did you hear that so if
you're one of those people right
now and you firmly you want to please
your creator before you meet your
creator the maker of mankind you believe
that there's nothing worthy of worship
but God there's no God but God because
money some people take money as a God
these things that I've listed the moon
the Sun
man Saints some people actually worship
these things so to accept Islam you have
to first negate these things right say
I'm not going to worship any of these
things there's no God but God and
Muhammad is the messenger you're not
going to worship any of that's it then
you can be a Muslim yes all right
beautiful all right that's it that was
easy right did you have fun yeah all
right thank you for being with us here
on the dean show give salams to your
whole family yeah we'll see you next
time okay okay all right peace we we
started with peace and we end with peace
peace be with
you and that was Omar Our Guest 8 years
old author already of two books and he
discussed both of them things every kid
should know teeth and things every kid
should know handwashing amazing kids at
a young age getting a good start and I
hope that you got to learn some of the
basic beliefs of Islam and Muslims what
it it means to be a Muslim being kind to
your family kind to your neighbors kind
to those members of society Muslim or
non-muslim and then we went even deeper
what Islam actually means Islam has
nothing to do with terrorism terrorizing
people killing innocent men women and
children no doesn't have nothing to do
with that you got it wrong there Islam
means submission to the will of the
Creator and an 8-year old kid knows that
and you don't Subhan Allah come on now
so you are are getting exposed to the
truth and now you're ready to accept the
truth are you if you're sincere with
yourself and you give birth to what's
already inside of you you've already
taken the shahada if you missed out on
it and you want to hear it again it's
just to testify that there's nothing I'm
not going to worship any woman or man a
saint an angel a messenger like Jesus
peace be upon him who never called
people to worship him he called people
to worship the Creator the maker of
mankind and if you're ready to do that
right now that's
it I bear witness that there's nothing
worthy of worship except the creator of
the heavens and the Earth there's no God
but God and Muhammad is the final
messenger and that would include Jesus
Moses Abraham and all the preceding
Messengers who came with the same
message worship the Creator do good
deeds and prepare for the day of
judgment because death is a reality and
when death comes it's too late bye-bye
so do it right now you can even call us
1800 662
Islam don't procrastinate because once
death comes it's too late do it now and
at the end Paradise you got paradise and
you avoid the Hellfire we love you
that's why we're sharing this message
we'll see you next time here on the dean
show until then peace be with you
