with certain Dan bazan who lied to us
about we of massu we fought my friends
who died over there like you know and I
I just look what they provided us with
and it's it's not nothing it's like a
negative the Western value and all these
kind cuz you were a party guy before
yeah yeah and as so was you Eddie don't
try but a lot of Muslims in they're you
know pretty morally sound for the most
part so you would consider being a
Muslim I don't know about the religion I
I think I'm probably read the Quran so
were there I used to go clubing in that
leer squ very every weekend some people
might wonder what what does 33 that's
the age is the
this is the
the
the thean asalam Alum I'm here with to
steam guests and we're in London
alhamdulillah we United here
salum how you doing how you doing how
you doing Al how you been backyard now
two from the states here in London we
couldn't come to you you came to us
alhamdulillah uh so tell us you know
what I like I want the audience also to
see I like this uh Jersey over here yeah
some people might wonder what what does
33 that's the age of
Jesus Jesus the son of Mary what
inspired you to get this uh Jersey uh
this is actually not my brand or
anything some brothers called team Islam
and they made it and they made it
especially for da so when we go out and
call people towards Allah and we talk
about how we love Jesus how we love
Moses how we love Abraham how we love
Muhammad peace and blessings be upon
them this is a way to represent that
many people have this misunderstanding
as if Muslims don't love Jesus as if we
don't accept Jesus but we do we love
Jesus we believe in Jesus as a prophet
as a messiah as a messenger as somebody
who brought a message of God as somebody
who was the only way to God for his time
meaning every Prophet that comes
he's the only way to get to God for that
time meaning if Moses's time he's the
only way to God you can't follow
somebody else Abraham's time that's his
time Jesus time is his time Muhammad
that's his time peace and blessings be
upon all of them so we got this to
represent our love for Jesus and our
belief in Jesus peace and blessings be
upon him as a prophet in Islam we don't
worship him don't get it twisted but we
love and respect I I want to get you
guys perspective I just did a segment on
a video that just came out there was an
interview do you think the Middle East
and the world would be a better place if
Israel didn't exist okay Israel's
committed you know so many terrorist
attacks they they're stealing land right
now they're operating AP um they're
currently committing a genocide on
Palestinians like do you believe in the
genocide they're committing I I think
with certain Dan bazan lied to us about
what was a mass destruction we F my
friends who died over there like you
know and I I just look at what they
provided us with and it's it's it's not
nothing it's like a negative you know
it's even if they just didn't do jack
[\h__\h] that would be you know bad but
they've actually done things to hurt us
over and over and over again so like
this whole thing of they're our greatest
allies is complet and you know we send
them $100 billion dollar and they send a
back1 billion and then they distribut
our politic every politian will [\h__\h] a
Handler walk around tell [\h__\h] say how
he's like the new Hugh Hefner of our age
but the good news is he's saying what
already we know is that this life of
Hedonism is a dark hole so there's a
Muslim that's in touch with him that I
know personally and he's been talking
with him and he hasn't really posted the
henness and stuff for over like a year
and he wants to do things that are more
fulfilling so he was recently I don't
know if you've seen the the interview
some bits of it going around that he's
talking about Muslims are good people
they're [\h__\h] the globe like Muslim
all bad guys and all terrorists they're
actually a pretty peaceful religion uh
he's seing past all the programming that
Muslims are terrorists all Muslims are
terrorist is [\h__\h] [\h__\h] but that's
what Hollywood keeps [\h__\h] pumping out
there is like all every [\h__\h] bad guy
in these movies are always these [\h__\h]
jih terorists you know like they're
always the [\h__\h] bad guy and all the
other nonsense that's out there there
was uh we'll show some clips of that but
there was one part of the interview I
want to get your guys perspective
because a lot of people have this
misconception revolving around what
you're going to see in this video clip
you know going to the church and and
worshiping and doing all that stuff to
me the idea of a like God that's up
there that is requiring everyone him
seems a little strange I'm not saying
it's not you know not sh people religion
but it just to me the more successful
people are like know the better a
fighter is the Les he need everybody to
tell him how great he is you know I feel
like if you were God would you really
need everybody to worship you all the
time and tell you how great you are
doesn't seem to you know correlate with
the experience that I've had I feel like
everybody knows the right thing is to do
and just do the like that's my religion
thing you know what it is you know like
I mean every's kind of got their com
asso like thatly so just do the right
thing and you know you know treat others
as you want to be treated you know I
think there's a lot of knowledge in the
Bible there's a lot of good quotes in
there um but as far as like traditional
mainstream religion I'm not you know for
to be anything maybe Christian you know
I like the Muslims I mean I think they
have a pretty peaceful religion they get
a really bad rap in the media um but met
a lot of Muslims and they're you know
pretty morally sound for the most part
so you would consider be a Muslim I
don't know about the religion I I think
I'm probably read the Quran so lot to on
package there so I mean if we want to
start from reverse or forward to help
Dan along the way I would say let's
start from the beginning where he was
saying that he has this difficult time
understanding why a God would need us to
worship him so the first thing to
understand is Allah the Creator the god
the only one worthy of worship has no
need of us but we are in need of
worshiping him see when we pray five
times a day it's not that Allah needs it
it doesn't sustain Allah it doesn't make
Allah more powerful but it reminds us
who is our creator who is the greatest
who are the one we're going to return to
if we don't keep that mental check on us
we I mean imagine even with the prayers
and even with the Quran how much of an
ego we have how much pride do we have as
human beings even knowing that God is
the greatest we have this misconception
of thinking we can do everything right
but as a Muslim when I put my forehead
on the ground Allah doesn't need that
but I need that humbleness to show
myself that look this life is temporary
there is a creator that created me that
I have to go back to that I have to
submit to because that Creator's laws
are how I should live I don't know best
my Creator knows best I need that right
so so that's the first thing to clar
from that misconception and I'm sure Al
is going to break into that secondly
this idea of just do the right thing
everybody knows what the well that's the
thing people don't what do you mean do
the right thing is abortion the right
thing or the wrong thing now you can
talk to different segments of our
country and the country that we're in
right now and there will be segments
that will feel very morally compelled to
say abortion is a right thing it's a
woman's right it's her body it's her
choice it's wrong for you to tell a
woman what she can do with her body and
her pregnancy and her right they will
morally make that argument on the other
hand other segments of our countryes
Christian and otherwise will very
morally say that abortion is murder it's
it's horrible it's a wrong thing it's
ABS the right thing is to condemn it and
not allow it right so you see both sides
are using the moral judgment very
different and not everybody if you take
about euthanasia like people who are
older whether they can kill themselves
people that are in pain you will the
death penalty you will find two very
morally compelled different arguments
two opposite sides of the spectrum
totally each one of them will consider
their point to be morally correct so
where's morality need guidance now now
if you look at if you look at America
and I'm going to let let the Brits have
a have a pass you know in America our
forefathers were slave owners you know
those people whose faces are Mount
Rushmore that are on your dollar bills
they were slave owners right now if we
say that today they say oh that's
presentism that that at that time that
was morally okay well today we would say
slavery is morally not okay so why do we
have George Washington a slave abusing
you know slave owner on our dollar bills
because again you you take morality as
being subjective it's not objective so
this idea of just do the right bleeping
thing is it's nonsense because what is
the right thing right if somebody steals
how should we deal with them or forgive
them well then you're going to get
robbed every day
oh then put them in jail like what's
that going to do right that's why our
creator sent us guidance whether it's
the time of Moses or Abraham or Jesus or
Muhammad peace be upon all of them that
Divine guidance tells us how to live how
to treat our neighbors how to deal with
criminal acts how to deal with spiritual
diseases that guidance is needed an
objective morality right and last thing
I'll say inall benefit from our brother
is he's on the right track he said I
want to read the Quran great read the
Quran our Our advice to him is go and
read the Quran and if you have questions
reach out to us we're here to help you
answer questions I mean to say that I
guess if I was going to choose I choose
Christianity just because you're from a
Christian background doesn't make sense
in the end you have to choose what's
right you have to choose what's most
just what's most morally correct what's
best preserved that's that that the true
message I mean you yourself were not
raised in an Islamic environment but you
chose Islam right many people may not
realize Ali da Ali brother chose Islam
you know myself I I was raised going to
church but I chose Islam why when I read
the Quran when I read the Islamic belief
it made so much sense it was so clear it
was so correct it was such a Divine
truth that it showed me that all the
corruption the church put in and synagog
and temples and all that could not stand
to the truth of Islam so we hope he will
continue that path and actually read the
Quran and ask questions and just like
when we saw Andrew tapate first coming
towards Islam it may be a process but
inshallah he'll be Muslim just like when
we saw siko first coming to Islam it
took months but alhamdulillah he's a
Muslim today we hope I don't know the
brother danan Dan missan inshallah
someday we'll be a Muslim as well I have
no idea who he is by the way this the
first time I've heard of him same I I
know him I don't know his name yeah so
go ahead what's your what's your take on
that what's your Insight on some of
those touch on CU just touch on the
thing of um him saying you know does God
need us to worship him um I I believe
this is one of the issues even not just
for himself even a lot of Muslims face
there's one aspect ofed we don't really
understand which is that we there is
there is a narration about a group of
angels that were created and their sole
purpose is to be in s from the moment
they are created
to to Allah tells them to lift their
heads up and when they lift their heads
up they say something very interesting
they say Oh Oh Our Lord like we did not
worship you the way you deserve to be
worshiped now this is very interesting
because we're talking about you know
some some of us you know we pray and we
think we're a m you know pray ex we're
talking about a group of angels who have
in SJ for millions or billions or God
knows how many years the moment they are
told to lift their head up they say to
Allah we did not worship you the way you
deserve to be worshiped one aspect we
don't understand about to is the
following we worship Allah not because
what he does for us but because of who
he is like for example when I speak to
people in like non-muslims and I tell
them when you see a famous person let's
say James Bond or whoever it is their
time um these famous actors you get
excited oh my gosh like you feel oh my
gosh isn't that isn't that and then you
go when you go next to him you Palms are
sweating the respect you have is okay if
I can take a picture the the the respect
you give him and ask a question did this
guy pay your debt did he back you up in
a fight what did he do so much that you
have this level of respect that you
around him is okay if I take oh is okay
if I why are you who is he what has he
done for you because of he's an actor
who he is now if that's the respect you
give to a human being that is an actor
that you watch and you're excited what
about the one who's created the heavens
and the Earth so it's not that Allah
subhana wa tala needs us Allah doesn't
need if every single human being stops
praying Allah doesn't need us that's why
if we understand who Allah is and
understand Allah's attributes understand
who he really is we will then grasp that
he deserved worship even if he didn't
command Us in the Quran to pray we would
pray we would bow down because we
believe he deserves deserves that and
then just touching on the morality thing
again I can remember I was having a
little debate with one of these mads
yeah um and um they were mocking Islam
they were like look at the Quran the
Quran says you cannot marry your mom or
your son and I was like very interesting
you know why because he was the same
person talking about morality cuz he has
no objetive morality he was the same one
who said actually I have morally I
cannot say it is wrong for me to have
intimacy with my own daughter and I
thought Subhan Allah you are mocking the
Quran but the Quran is a solution
because you're telling me there is
nothing wrong with me doing a with my
own objectively so to me that's the only
thing I can say I mean this is profound
now so um for to have someone like Dan
bazan now now we have people Specialists
who are in the field of communicating
the message and then God willing you
guys can help get this message to him to
help facilitate an easy way for him to
really not because a lot of times what
um people think it's just so confusing
there's so many religions so now it's
kind of like they're all the same just a
buffet pi one so why why does Islam
stand out and how can you say we say
that other religions are man-made but
Islam is the divinely sent religion how
do they come to that realization like we
have I mean the thing is if you look at
many famous people who searched
openhearted with their heart open for
the truth whether it's from Cat Stevens
or Dr Mir briy name them right they
always end up with Islam when they
actually open their heart see most what
we see amongst people that are
become hardcore Christians is because
they were born in it or their families
in it or their traditions in it right
same thing with Judaism and stuff like
that but when you look at people who
like myself to be very honest right
growing up I went to church I never went
to a mid right I didn't know Muslims I I
went to Baptist Church and Mormon uh
churches and kingdom halls and Catholic
churches and with all of
that none of those man-made falsehoods
ever satisfy my heart it's only Islam
because Islam is the only one that gave
you a Divine pure message when you look
at the idea of Christianity and again
this is with love and and and wanting
good for all of humanity to be saved I'm
not there not a criticism but a
hopefully a way of opening their mind
nobody can explain the Trinity without
coming back to either Dogma or coming
see how beautifully explained to right
like like the the fact that only Allah
deserves of worship and can be worship
and worship none but Allah right it
makes such clear sense but when you go
to the Trinity you will see our debates
always either it's a mystery or just
accept it or such a dog and pony show
that they they have to like do mental
gymnastics to try to explain these
things because in and of themselves they
make no sense if you look at the Hindu
religion and again I'm saying this with
hoping to spread good and truth and not
not it's not an insult but when I
started to study it none of it could
make any sense it just seems like like
stories you know because even you talk
to a lot of Hindus they will say that
like I had a debate here in the UK with
the with a Hindu lady and she said the
story of Krishna is more just myth it's
not reality you know even though she was
a hardcore Hindu right why because to
say you're God somebody you worship who
stealing women's clothes to see them
naked is like like like how does that
how do you take that as a truth right
like like this is why I studied Hinduism
right and
I I got to a chapter about in mahabat
about RAM and Si right so Rah is a God
quote unquote right and SAA is a goddess
and he tells SAA stay in the home like
so far I respect the man you know like
home right he goes out and ran who is
this evil King from Sri Lanka I don't
know why sorry Sri Lanka's become the
bad guy in the story with like 10 heads
or maybe 12 heads he got a lot of head
so he came and disguised himself and got
tricked a goddess to come out and
kidnapped her kind of summarizing the
story
now don't get offended brother but if
somebody looks at your wife wrong what
are you going to do
not good be be honest be real bro our GA
our protective jealousy kicks in you
look at my wife wrong and we're going to
have a problem yes you rais your hand
towards my wife bro you're getting
knocked out I mean I don't care I got to
go to jail I'm going to defend my honor
right now let's go to rah rah comes home
he's a God that people
worship and his wife's gone and he can't
go defend her he a God cannot go and get
his wife life back he has to get monkeys
to help him I kid you not monkeys
Hanuman the monkey god with monkey Army
to go monkey around and get CA back over
a year she's there getting whatever and
that's why he leaves her later he's like
I don't know what happened on that
island right so how could you worship
something like that that doesn't make
sense like that you know Buddhism again
you know this whole concept of
reincarnation okay if you live a good
life then you reincarnate into something
better okay how does a cockroach live a
good life like how does a cockroach come
back as a monkey like like what do he
got to do right like like like what does
a dog do to be a good dog to come back
as a cow like like you know if you think
through these things these are just
stories and you know you Christianity
basically corrupted the true message of
Jesus and Infused paganism
whether it's Christmas whether it's this
idea of Zeus and Hercules and God and
godlings and God having sex with women
and having children and they they kind
of morph that message Pagan message into
the beautiful message of Jesus
corrupting it and coming up with this
new religion right Judaism took the true
message of Moses peace and blessings be
upon him and added all kinds of stuff
that RAB came up with that's not in the
Torah that's not in any of the Divine
writings or anything so
they made this man-made religion in
Islam till today when we pray every
aspect of that prayer I can show you
from the Quran or authentic Hadi when
you go for Hajj every aspect of Hajj of
I can show you from Quran or authentic
Hadith when we fast in Ramadan when do
we begin our fast when do we break our
fast you know even what do we eat to
break our all of that from evidence it's
the only religion preserved on the true
message as it was sent
let's finish off with an invitation how
would you invite Dan bazer or anyone
else out there who now is uh tuning in
and they like what we have to say the
worship of the Creator not the creation
the pure monotheism it makes sense all
of this other stuff that's out there
Trinity and God being a man paganism
they're not really digging that what
steps would you tell Dan the first that
he should take and how would you invite
someone else to contemplate look into
Islam personally myself obviously coming
from a similar background of you know
just living the West in value and all
these kind cuz you were a party guy
before yeah yeah and so was you Eddie
don't try
it yeah so the thing is coming from that
lifestyle we understand their lifestyle
exactly because what happens you hit a
wall when we we started doing D in
Leicester Square so these people that
are walking I know their psychology
because I was at that very spot I used
to go clubbing in that Leicester Square
very spot every weekend cuz I was empty
I was lost I was looking for a purpose
and I know these fake smiles and I'm
look like I'm having fun no you're not I
know how I felt I know how you that's
why when I speak to them I can relate to
them um so Subhan Allah I would
personally say one thing to understand
is when people come and say I live in a
live in a higher power but one thing
that I came to realization is that it is
impossible to believe in a higher power
and then just say okay he's just put me
here put you here for what how does it
make sense I cannot believe in a creator
that is purposeless God Allah subhana T
gave me a purpose how is it possible
that a glass has a purpose my socks have
a purpose my trains everything that I
have here this mic this camera
everything has a purpose and me I'm far
superior in creation how could I not
have a purpose so to me I would say to
ponder upon this number one number two
to understand that only in the
remembrance of Allah do hearts find
peace which means that we believe in
something called the F which is your
innate disposition Allah subh has
created us that we would only find
happiness in his um remembrance that's
the reason why if you look that um one
thing that I realized was anything that
I would give like be it the money the
cars the girls all that kind of stuff my
I was rejecting it my soul was saying
this is not what I want it's like when
you eat bad food what do you stomach too
it vomits out it's got to program to say
bad take it out the system the soul is
the same thing the soul has its food
which is the remembrance of Allah any
time you give it something that doesn't
belong there it say no thank you that's
not it it's not that and what happens
with the Western um a lot of people in
the western world is they think okay if
I go to um if I buy the latest car or if
I get a house and they like what is it
there's something missing that missing
puzzle is which is your F which is your
innate disposition that is remembering
Allah once you find that then you will
find true content and happiness and
that's why I would tell uh our dear
brother is very simple when you're on
your own this is what I did I said God
if you are there and I believe you are
there guide me to the truth I don't care
is it Christianity please all day every
day I didn't picking Tru I said
whichever is the truth if whichever
religion is the truth tells me I need to
every day go climb a palm tree come down
do 20 press ups and five black back
flips is it the truth no problem the
point is the only true message that I
found was with Quran is Preservation she
said and number one it's simple essence
of I already beli that when I looked
into Christianity I automatically I said
bye you're telling me Jesus is godam
alaykum I started reading the Bible
first um I used to know a family who was
Christian I celebrate Christmas with
them Easter with them I open the Bible I
start reading I start watching some
debates the moment I heard Jesus Is God
I said Salam alaykum there was no way I
can believe that the one who created the
heavens became a man like me no thank
you so pray internally because if you do
genuinely seek the guidance that's what
Allah says in the Quran we respond to
the caller that calls upon us you
sincerely call to God Allah will send
you sign in and then read the Quran the
Bible wherever you want to read that's
what I would advise what I did
personally and I believe that Allah will
guide you I want to mention one thing
before we end and this is something that
we did a podcast recently um here in the
UK there was a woman a sister who was an
islamophobe and you can watch this video
and inshallah maybe if you're here we
could do something with her and her
husband she used to go to Muslim
countries to to to convert Muslims
towards Christianity she would bribe
schools Muslim Islamic schools in Muslim
countries to allow her to sit and she's
got videos of this where all these
hijabi little girls and she's out there
trying to preach Jesus to them she would
go out to you know places to go put big
signs against the prophet Muhammad sallu
alaihi wasallam and she was an
islamophobe she was the leadership of
her church she was a student of every
islamophobe whose names you know for
years she would go around doing this and
alhamdulillah alhamdulillah she saw some
of our videos people who watch these
videos that share them you're a very
important part of the dawa that the
message got to her where she got a Quran
and she read it and she flew to the UK
from Portugal um to speak to me we were
having an event here with our brother
aan and the and I remember at 11:00 we
finished the event then we went to the
what they call the unit you know in the
their Center and you know of course not
alone she was sitting with covered you
know out of respect and she debated with
me for 4 hours wow 4 hours this is after
like you know at midnight after you know
and at the end of that with tears in her
eyes she accepted Islam and she she told
us not to tell anybody because her
community her family islamophobes
imagine somebody who is that hateful but
what changed her she actually read the
Bible realizing the nonsense and she
read the right objectively it changed
her heart so imagine if she can be a
Muslim today alhamdulillah we didn't
talk about this because we don't care
about views she told us keep it a secret
we kept it a secret until she was ready
to open up about it we did a podcast we
we had her husband with her and stuff we
discussed she tells her own story
alhamdulillah she's a Muslim
today
practicing Allah protect her she's
married to a good brother mallah so what
does I tell you everybody out there if
you're objective and you honest and you
read the Quran and you read the Bible
objectively you will end up being a
Muslim exactly exactly Allah says inak
that we do not guide the wrongdoers so
if your heart is clean you're looking
for goodness Allah will guide you
beautiful sincerity wanting to know the
truth God Almighty Direct directly
praying to the Creator he'll guide you
to the TRU see we see that in him we can
see sincerity so there you go Dan and
anybody else who's seeking for the truth
you got the formula right there thank
you guys once again
