crazy people out there so you want to

is about we talked about that before
right okay so then the other one the
about fire yeah what's this one called
uh it's things of a kid should know fire
fire what's the newer one um things that
we could should know reduce re recycling
okay tell us about this new book now
well when I began re finding a topic to
help kids about and write about i f saw
the word Recycling and a website and I
thought this would be a great idea if I
could write about this book and help
kids about so I asked my mom if I could
write about it and she thought it was a
great idea so I started re researching
the book and I wrote the book Mah do you
plan on doing more books yeah I'm
working on my fourth book which is the
importance of seeking knowledge oh
that's a really good topic the
importance of seeking knowledge yes how
how important it it is it to seek
knowledge knowledge is very important
for each of us to acquire you seek God
the greatest says are are men who have
understanding and those who don't have
understanding alike only men of
understanding no there's you can't
compare the two people of understanding
who are who who have gained knowledge
and people who are just living life
according to their desires it's not the
same yes right tell us you also have a
new nickname you want to share that with
us today my nickname is Abu Bakr i h i
have that nickname because he was the
prophet's best friend and he was with
the in the cave of the prophet he was
the of this and he uses money to help a
lot of people he is my favorite
companion so I wanted to be named after
him I also heard you're International
speaker yes and you're only 10 yes what
do you speak about yes alhamdulillah I
am an international speaker I speak I
speak I give I give a speak spech on
moms for parents about the POS being
gentle and patient around children
because the pon was the greatest person
around children and parents need to
treat kids like like kids not adults
give us some more tips on this with one
of his companions an Malik it said the
messenger of Allah had the bestos among
people one day he sent me in irand and I
said by Allah I will not go but it was
on my mind I would do as the prophet
sallallahu alai wasallam had ordered I
went until I Came Upon children playing
in the street then the messenger of
allaham arrived and caught me by the
back of my neck I looked at him and
found him smiling he said un nickname of
anas did you go or I asked you to go I
said oh oh messenger of Allah yes I am
going you see many parents would be
angrier if they asked their child to run
to Iran and he decided to play inste
that how the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam was Pat when he found him
playing and just kindly asked him if if
he had done what he had asked him the
prophet S I mean and realized that he
had not so and he said he was going to
do it the parents need to realize how
gentle the prophet was around kids and
that they too need to be treat kids with
patient and gentleness so from the story
that you just narrated that the prophet
peace be upon him he sent him on a task
on an errand like you said but then he
being a kid he found other kids and
start playing with them yes he got
distracted he got distracted and then
the prophet P upon went out looking for
him and then he found them and did he he
didn't even scold him right he didn't
yell at him he didn't hit him none of
that what did he do he just kindly asked
him if he had done what he had asked him
to yeah so then you take this example
and then you you share it with the
parents right yeah that how they should
how they should be with the children
again yes they shouldn't uh be scolding
them yelling at them they should treat
them with patience and gentleness
patience and gentleness key words
gentleness and patience we all need a
dose of that yes yes and who's the best
example the Prophet The Prophet who the
he was the best human being who ever
lived what about Jesus he was he would
all of them were we all of them were
good all the prophets Al did they come
with different message did they come
with a different message or did they
come no they all came with the same
message what was the message that that
Jesus Moses the one God and His
messenger that was it yes now what is
the difference between let's say if you
are following Jesus or Moses or Abraham
or if you're following Muhammad there's
no difference As Long as You Follow what
their books say and you fall on the
right path so all of their books called
people to worship the Creator not the
creation right yes and that's what the
last and final messenger came with the
same thing yes okay so moving along
you're International speaker you give
this advice how about some people who
try to make Islam out like it's a bad
religion that Muhammad or Islam is about
terrorism what do you say I say they
should find the proper resources and
research it and then get then make the
make the Judgment okay so really and be
open-minded about learning the truth be
openminded really research it how about
hang out with some Muslims yes if they
see you on the street can they come up
to you and you can you can share Islam
with them yes what does Islam mean Islam
is is the create Islam means to get get
be sub submit to The One and Only God
which is who is Allah and to believe in
his Prophet which is Muhammad that's
very simple Yes submit to Only God Only
The Creator and we'll be right back with
more we take a break how's that you got
time for some more yes okay inshallah
we'll be right back
with Abu Bakr what do you prefer Zafar
or Abu Bakr Abu Bak okay with Abu Bakr
here on the dean
show so say he Allah is one God is
one the maker of mankind exactly Allah
is self-sufficient he doesn't need food
or drink he doesn't need to rest on the
seventh day okay I really had a problem
with that even before I knew anything
about Islam God resting sounds like a
weak god um he begets not he doesn't
have any children nor is he a child or
born of anything or
anyone and there is nothing coal or
comparable unto him at all nobody
nothing anything we can imagine nobody
nobody's comparable to the Creator
nothing yeah and that right there was in
its Essence what I believe
naturally back here on the dean show
with
buer and we talked about Prophet
Muhammad you gave a great example of how
he was patient and gentle with kids and
gentle why is it important to be gentle
and patient with kids because the
propham the best human being who ever
Liv but was patient and gentle with
children then we should be also patient
and gentle with kids because he's the
example exactly he's should be the role
model of all the Muslims yes and what is
it you mentioned Muslims so usually I'll
Define or there'll be a little
a lower third here explaining what a
Muslim is people are seeing it right now
you can't see it but what is a Muslim
what does it mean to be a Muslim a
Muslim is one who submits to God and His
messenger okay so you submit to God and
you obey the messengers right yes
because but do you worship the messenger
no you don't worship the messenger do
you worship Jesus no you don't worship
Jesus you worship the god of Jesus you
are you worship the god of Jesus the one
who Jesus fell on his face and prayed to
yes that's who we worship yes now do we
only believe in Muhammad no we believe
in all the prophets starting from the
first man created from Adam to Abraham
L Jacob and the tribe Moses and Jesus
the the last prophet was only mammad
peace be upon them all so we believe in
all those Messengers you mentioned who'
you mention he we believe and the
there's many more so we believe in all
of them all of them yes all the ones
that are mentioned in the Quran and all
of them they you all of them that you
know you you don't worship them but you
you worship Allah who's the creator of
the but it's part of the belief to
believe in these Messengers your name
like Jesus you believe in them but you
don't worship them don't worship them
yes why would why would people why why
that that doesn't make sense why would
you worship a messenger like Jesus or
why would you worship a man or a woman
or anything in creation it makes sense
to worship ship only the one Creator yes
because if you worship a creation then
there has to be only one God because if
someone says that they believe in a
woman and someone else says they believe
in a child and someone else says a man
which one do we know is correct Only We
Know That Allah is the creator of
everyone and everything so we should
worship him only okay yeah I like that
because a human being someone says I
want to worship the the man human being
some I want to worship the child human
being no we worship the maker of the
human being yes that's it okay so moving
along why why why do you think now a lot
of kids your age you know you don't see
them writing books how did you get
involved in writing books where a lot of
other kids are just involved in playing
video games and you know not really
doing something as serious as you did
you know to write a book that you're
like one in a in a
million well because my mom and my my
sister started writing a book I wanted
to also write a book and help kids so I
started riding on strangers because I
want I was concerned about the kids
safety and I wanted them to be safe and
then I wrote The Fire book so people
know how to escape out of a fire and I
wrote the recycling book so people can
recycle and help the environment okay so
your parents were being good role model
your so your parents were being good
Role Models yes they're being good one
that's really good see that's very
important now because you know if the
parents are at at home listening to
gangster rap right gangster do you
listen to gangster rap no no do you want
to be a gangster never never that's
right if the P the parents at home are F
you know faking the funk and you know
they they they're uh you know listening
to gangster rap then usually you know
the kids are going to follow that bad
example exactly yeah so thank God
they're not doing that you know they're
doing good things and and you're
following along good examples are you
happy yes and now you're on the dean
show
yeah alhamdulillah so talk to us about
the Quran have you memorized more Quran
since the last time we've spoken yes
alhamdulillah which one which one you
know a short Surah do you remember that
what's the one you recited last time you
were here I
recited what about uh do you know that
one do you know the meaning also yes can
you go ahead and
recite by the
time man is in Lost
[Music]
accept those who believe and do
righteous good deeds and recommend
another to choose and recommend one
another to ation that is so powerful
that is so powerful that was from the
verbatim word of God the Quran yes you
memorize the portion of it there
said indeed all mankind everyone's in
Lost except those who believe and do
rightous good deeds they believe in the
one Creator the maker of mankind the
Creator and they do what righteous Good
Deeds righteous good deeds and they they
recommend to the truth advise recommend
call people to the truth and recommend
another to patience patience and
perseverance beautiful beautiful well we
going to take a break yes with that and
we'll be right back to wrap it up with
Abu Bakr Zafar here in the
de we just finished course about
the with Institute here in Chicago
anding in this uh message especially for
Dean show uh I would like to say one of
the things that we learned today that
the prophet Sall whenever he raised his
hand and some said that it's been more
than a 100 times reported that the
prophet raised his hand he was making
Dua but something may be new for some of
us that the every time he raised his
hand his both hands were touching each
others it's been never reported the pr
prison and they're like separated from
each others he always bring them
together in begging and asking Allah
maybe this isah we should care about
practicing may Allah subh accept from
all of us thank you very much do you
want to know what makes a knowledge grow
then everybody watch Dean
show are you
ready is
ready if there is something you if there
is something you to sit right back and
watch show the de
[Music]
show back here on the dean show with Abu
Baker
Zafar and we left off with you reciting
a a from the verbatim word of God
there's no other book like it in the
world you know that right there's no
other book like it in the world it's
from the Creator it's a living miracle
for everyone who wants to examine it
test it there's no way yes that it can
come from from anybody other than the
Creator yes it's by God because when
people read the Quran to see and try to
think if it is man they try to look at
they try they read the Quran they know
that it's then they realize that that
it's not created from man but it's
created from God it's the speech of God
it's the speech of the Creator yes right
so it's the verbatim word of God the
speech of the Creator that's amazing yes
so tell us now you an author you're like
we said 10 years old you're in college
no where you graduated University no not
yet uh I'm joking what's the what you're
in which grade now again I am in eighth
grade eighth grade author 8th grade and
you're even planning your fourth book
right inshah did you ever get to do some
dawa did you ever get to you know talk
to some some of the not yet Muslims and
explain Islam the articles of Faith the
Five Pillars to people yes yeah yeah how
did that go it went fine because the
people that I did my masah were very
understanding and they met Muslims
before but they didn't become Muslim but
they were convinc that Islam was the way
of truth and that's a beautiful thing we
don't have to it's not our job to
convert anybody it just our job to share
to invite people it's a it's it's the
it's God Allah want if Allah wants he
will turn person turn a person to a
Muslim to become a Muslim but if Allah
doesn't want he'll never become a Muslim
that's it the Creator guides we just
have to invite and share we have to
share the message that's it why because
we care yes because we want all of
humanity not to go to Hell Fire but to
go to Jenna now I've noticed you're
wearing some jeans and a sweater and I'm
wearing like a a thob so if you become a
Muslim some people think like you got
got to be an Arab or you got to wear the
stove now is that true no a Muslim could
be from anywhere it doesn't matter if
he's black or white if he's from
somewhere else if he's from China or
America a Muslim could be anyone and you
got to wear the th you don't have to
wear the though you can wear it if you
want if you don't want to you don't have
to wear it as long as you have modest
dress yes is that right right okay and I
think it's pretty comfortable I've never
actually wore a th on I think I did once
for Haj with youest but this is a one of
the fewer times so you know you wear a
thob sometimes huh yeah there's a
picture like when you go back you know
Jesus who we believe in one of the
greatest Messengers that God sent and
there's a it's called the sermon of the
mount and they actually have a picture
of him wearing what would resemble a
thob you know it's white and it's like a
thob yeah so interesting so
you're your goal is to memorize the
Quran inshallah inshallah so this is a
miracle you know that many kids your age
and some younger some older have
memorized the Quran and you're one of
those who who are has a goal inshallah
to memorize it God willing right any
advice that you have before we leave for
other kids who are confused in life
they're your age younger older but
they're stuck you know doing bad things
maybe they don't have good examples they
turn into the dean show maybe all they
do is listen to gangster rap maybe
they're disrespectful to their parents
they don't listen and now they're
looking at you as a a good role model
what example what would you say to them
I say I would say to them don't do not
listen to music and try to be the best
role model you can be for other people
and try to write books and if you can't
get them published it's okay then you at
least you tried and that's what's
important maybe you can share that book
with other people who are your friends
and or and then the friends can share
the book with their friends and you can
even write a copy of the book and you
can pass it on to your friends instead
of uh listening to like bad music music
I want and they should listen to their
parents listen to their parents so
instead of wasting their time listening
to like uh gangster rap they can spend
time reading empowering their mind yes
yeah and be open openminded about
learning the truth and be open-minded
about learning the truth okay great
advice thank you for again for being
with us on the dean show we started with
peace we end with peace peace be with
you peace be with you also and that was
Zafar Nuri Abu Baker nickname and his
new book Reduce Reuse and recycle go
green so when you have young kids at
this age who are empowering themselves
their minds who are reading and then
actually as the Young
Zafar he's actually authored three books
going on four you know when kids are
involved in good things and their
parents are helping nurture this good
what can the society expect
tomorrow it can expect that it'll have a
strong Society because it has strong
family base and then you have strong
kids coming up who are developing
themselves their
personalities their behaviors in line
with what's good they're cutting out all
the gangster rap and all the bad things
that are out there because their parents
are doing a good job raising them so if
you're a parent out there who's watching
this hope that you got to benefit and
you get motivated to connect your child
with the Quran to make sure that their
friends are good friends who are also
motivating them who are doing good
things you know so you can tomorrow have
a great investment because we know all
the wealth that we acquire we're leaving
it behind and one of the things that
stays after we leave this life and we go
to the next when we're in the grave is a
righteous child supplicating to the
Creator for you so make sure that you're
investing with your children now you're
helping them to become the best in
society and avoiding them becoming the
worst in society because what kind of
investment do you have then so connect
with your creator call upon the Creator
constantly and let us invest in these
children today so they can be the best
in
society and we'll see you again next
time here in the dean show until then
peace be with you Jihad often
mistranslated as holy war the word Jihad
means to struggle Islam does not preach
violence it does not preach vicious holy
war it certainly does not condone Terror
and suicide bombing Islam preaches
compassion tolerance and justice
