sadik Khan who's starting to ban images
of women in bikinis you know in public
signage he's bringing in Sharia law this
is
the you seen this YouTube video it's
these two Muslim guys and they're
basically breaking down and attacking a
video I've done with infow Wars talking
about the recent Terror attacks Sharia
law radical Islam here's what they had
to say greetings and peace how are you
guys doing you know Martin Luther King
said that the greatest danger for
Humanity
is sincere ignorance and conscientious
[Music]
stupidity for
the people are you ready for the
[Music]
asalam alikum how you guys doing welcome
to another episode of the dean show Dr
sail how you been assalam alaykum
alhamdulillah all praise be to Allah I'm
doing good brother how are you
alhamdulillah we made it to another
month of Ramadan now not too long ago we
were in the car we were uh taking a
little ride and making the best out of
the time we decided to reach out to our
friends over at The Alex Jones Show and
we should call call it radical Islam
that is what it is I feel like it's a
breath of fresh air that we're going to
have a president who's quite frankly not
scared to say it for once radical Islam
exactly radical Islam let's all say it
together islamophobia machine is
affecting even our good friends at the
Alex Jones
Show and can you bring people up to
speed what we were kind of talking about
do you remember
exactly yes um
so Alex Jones uh he did a show about
radical Islamic terrorism and he kept on
blaming Islam not just the Muslims and
he kept on giving examples and his
reasoning is that Muslims are doing Act
of terrorism Islam is responsible and
now he's using the term radical Islamic
terrorism and we should call it radical
Islam that is what it is I feel like
it's a breath of fresh a that we're
going to have a president who's quite
frankly not scared to say it for once
radical Islam exactly radical Islam
let's all say it together islamophobia
machine is is affecting even our good
friends at the Alex Jones Show he's
blanketing all of the Muslims and the
faith of Islam saying that you know
Islam is inciting violence so what me
and you what we did was we did a show to
refute his allegations and to show his
double standard and to show to him that
Islam is a faith of peace and unity and
Justice that he needs to read the Quran
to get the true picture of Islam in
context he need to read the Quran
so then what happened two days ago 3
days ago received a video clip and that
shows that they did a rebuttal to our
response to his
show so today inshallah God willing we
are going to provide a nice wise
evidence-based response to him not to
debate him but just to show him that
Islam is a faith of Peace it's wrong for
him or anyone to attach uh radicalism or
terrorism
with the beautiful peaceful faith of
Islam there's got a see there's a lot of
that show there was a lot of love that
went into it meaning that we were sh we
were we were coming across not hostile
belligerent you know trying to offend
somebody but you know putting facts in
their place and delivering a message
sharing and giving an invitation and now
it's
Ramadan and we're putting in some more
time and love look at that and the Alex
Jones Show they had responded to that
and I don't know which one of the guys
that works with him he was took this
video and you don't see the that same uh
that same response with the love you see
someone um I I I would say who's very uh
let we go back to Allah abbar Allah
abbar chanting Allah abbar that have
been working with radical Islam
protecting the mosque also at the same
time we invited him to you know come on
our program or even you know invite it
doesn't have to be Me Maybe you or any
any other you know reputable um scholar
of Islam to kind of someone who's who
who's in this area of expertise and to
sit and you know have a nice discussion
so we didn't kind of get that same thing
back but let's go ahead and cover the
the response that his The Alex Jones
Show they did towards what we had put
put together so we're going to go ahead
and and let the audience uh see this one
part and then we'll come back to it in
sharing with them that there is only one
is Islam there is no such thing as
radical Islam or Progressive Islam or
liberal Islam there is only one ISL and
there you have it you heard it straight
from his mouth there is only one Islam
so we should just go ahead and drop the
radical part because Islam within itself
what it actually is is radical ideology
and if you actually go look at the
families the Christian families that
live in Iraq saying missou right now
that are being slaughtered simply
because they have a different uh belief
a different faith they are being
murdered by Islam which is a radical
ideology there's no other way around it
this guy explained it so clear there is
no Progressive Islam there is no radical
Islam there is only one Islam so I mean
he commended you you said you you you
did a really great job of explaining
that there's only one Islam and you
should take actually so he agreed you
should take radical out of Islam because
that was the whole point that there's no
such thing as radical Islam Islam means
peace acquired by submit to the will of
of God so he's but now he's trying to
say that Islam just in itself is a
radical ideology and then he gave you
saw what he he what he was saying people
being killed in uh in Iraq or whatnot
and trying to link that back to Islam
what do he say right you know when I
looked at his response I cannot connect
the darts I cannot understand his
rational you know we gave to him with
evidence that there is only one Islam
and that Islam is not radical it's not
Sunni Shia it's a peaceful Islam it
speaks about peace and Justice and what
he did was he just took that term Islam
and he said okay that one Islam is
radical Islam it doesn't make sense so
in response to um that person who has
done the video so his rational is that
some Muslims are committing acts of
terrorism they are doing oppression
they're converting minorities in the
name of Allah according to him now if
that is the reason reing for him to
label Islam as radical then with the
same reasoning we could show to him we
can say to him with evidence that
Christians have done and they're also
doing now in the 21st century acts of
radicalism Acts of Oppression were these
children lived with their parents in a
fundamentalist Christian home for the
nine children Life in Paradise was
anything but we cover up eight of their
faces because they are the survivors
survivors of a violent form of
discipline prac practiced by their
parents Kevin and Elizabeth shots the
one face not covered is their
seven-year-old adopted daughter Lydia
she was killed by her parents they've
pleaded guilty to killing Lydia and
seriously injuring her 11-year-old
sister Zariah who almost died
authorities say Kevin and Elizabeth
shots beat their children regularly
because they believe God wanted them to
forceful conversion and mass shootings
the vast majority of people who are
doing the mass shootings in America
Muslims at all so exactly the young
white men it turns out that even the
people who are ideologically motivated
you mentioned ideology you are seven
times more likely to K be killed by a
right-wing extremist a a racist or an
anti-government Nut Job seven times more
likely to be killed by that
person all over the world and here are
some examples brother Eddie you know the
army of the the army of the Lord the
army of God they are responsible in the
USA for having many many Mass shootings
like in abortion clinics in Planned
Parenthood clinics and they have killed
people in the name of Jesus in the name
of Christianity how about the Lord's
army in
Uganda thousands of innocent people
especially the Muslims have been
slaughtered by Christians in the name of
Christianity how about the eastern
lightning in
China they believe that Jesus will come
back as a woman and now they are
slaughtering men and children and and
people who are innocent what's the name
of that group the Eastern lightning mhm
trying to recruit new members to their
Christian
cult one Diner refused to give them her
number they beat her to
death this is a Christian group it's a
Christian group obviously they don't
represent mainstream chrisan
Christianity but you're making this this
uh connecting this the same way he's
trying to take this Fringe you know
element Isis and trying to prompt them
up as if they're representing Islam he
usually the insane State that's who they
usually use in yes of course they're
always misguided people in the in the
followers of any ideology any faith any
culture mhm so what that person is doing
is he's taking some minute minority of
the misguided Muslims for whatever
agenda that they are using the name of
Islam and killing innocent people what
we are saying is there are Christians
who have done and they are doing it
now right I mean Andre brck he killed 78
people in Norway in the Name of Christ
in the name of Christianity but we as
sane people thinking people rational
people we're not going to blame
Christianity for the acts of the
Christians the misguided Christians so
the same rational is he or no one else
should use the term radical or the term
terrorist with the beautiful word of
Islam the peaceful Islam and that's what
we kept saying during that car ride that
you you can't take these Fringe elements
and have it like as if they represent
the mainstream of for instance you know
the drug cartel in in Mexico or um the
some of the other um drug cartels that
forced religious values and rules that
have done horrific I mean there's places
in Mexico that you can't you cannot
actually go a towns that you know the
the murder rate uh is it's through the
roof you know even the police doesn't go
there I guess Army and and many of many
of the many of these guys are wearing
crosses you follow me and they would
consider themselves Christian you follow
me but it'd be insane to go ahead and
use this as an example to say that these
people represent the mainstream
Christian that'd be insane but this
these individuals from this The Alex
Jones Show that's what they're actually
doing you know in every continent you
know besides Antarctica I guess there
are Christian groups who are doing acts
of terrorism in the Name of Christ but
we are not going to say you know radical
Christian terrorist or radical
Christianity terrorist because that's
not fair we don't want to malign the
faith of Christianity but the acts of
these misguided Christians mhm in the
same way we want to request him drop the
word radicalism drop the word terrorism
terrorist and associating that with the
word
Islam you know that that's just double
standard because we should use it for
every religion or no religion mhm but
why stop there suppose if an American or
a British or a Indian Pakistani commits
acts of terrorism we not going to say
you know radical Pakistani terrorist
radical American Terrorist that does not
make sense but why should we stop there
if a white person commits Act of
terrorism we not going to say you know
radical uh white race
terrorist why should we stop there if a
man commits Act of terrorism are we
going to blame all the men by the way
right radical men terrorist radical
women terrorist a radical Rich terrorist
radical poor
terrorist it just becomes insane so the
best thing
that we can do is we have to drop the
term radical Islamic terrorist and we
should drop the term radical
Christianity terrorist and we should
blame those individuals may that be
Muslims Hindus Jews or people of no
faith we should blame them all of us and
before we go to break I think it's also
it's very important for us I mean if
you're trying to have good relations
with your neighbors Muslims are not
going anywhere Christians aren't going
anywhere we're here on this Earth we
need to learn to live live together and
especially you know you know people have
to um understand this is very important
you don't like just go your neighbors
next door and you start having a hostile
belligerent attitude with him and you
know how you guys going to um live in
peace and Harmony it's not going to work
you know what I mean so I think that's
really important is for them to drop
this really belligerent hostile attitude
and open the doors of communication but
we had covered in another episode we had
a guest
a professor Dr Barnett who's been on
this uh Alex Jones Show and he has a
connection with with them and he's
trying to reach out uh but one of his um
theories is and many people agree with
this why they're coming after Islam like
this is because it's a big payday you
get there's money to be made yeah it's a
business it's business bashing Islam
business you know before there used to
be like 10 or 12 uh islamophobic
organization now they're in the '90s
close to 100 of them and these people
are multi millionaires they got lot of
Grants lot of support lot of sponsors
hating Islam became a business yeah and
I think you know good good-hearted
people good Christians Jews whoever is
out there even they see through this and
you know the the Hostile type you know
the people who have that you know that
hate in them I mean we might not be able
to reach them but we can reach those
people who are following actually
because this person would say he's a
Christian but in the words of Jesus you
know one of the greatest Commandments is
to love thy neighbor of course is that
what it is to love same thing in Islam
by the way Prophet Muhammad peace be
upon him he said you know if you eat
your full and if your neighbors are
hungry you're not a Believer you're not
a full believer so we are supposed to
look out for our neighbors not hate them
not kill them not terrorize them but we
are supposed to love them we are
supposed to connect with them we are
supposed to take care of them and that
is what Islam is and that's the message
we want to convey to the world we're
going to take a break we'll be right
back with more here in the de don't go
anyway back here on the dean show I
really didn't uh plan on doing this was
kind of spontaneous so we didn't plan I
didn't plan on doing um spending much
time on this thought I wanted to just
quickly um answer some of these points
the the other points he mentioned when
you mentioned there's only one Islam
submission to the will of the Creator
not the creation uh he said now that
there are Sunni Sufi wahab this that and
the other and he named and he said okay
I got you here you know what would you
say well again I'm going to stand by and
Muslims stand by by the point that there
is only one Islam that was sent by
Creator Allah in Arabic so there is only
one Islam that one Islam is based upon
the source of the Quran and through the
example of prophet Muhammad peace be
upon him so we have the Quran which is
intact we have the Sunnah or the example
of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
which is intact and anyone who follows
that we call that person as a Muslim and
the ideology that we follow we say that
that is Islam so if anyone is going to
ask me the question you know sabil who
are you are you a Sunni Muslim Shia
Muslim I would say that I am just a
Muslim if I'm going to ask if I'm
someone will ask me the question which
Islam do you follow the wahhabi the Sufi
the Sunni the Shia I would say I only
follow one Islam which is based upon the
Quran and the example of Muhammad peace
be upon him and that Islam speaks about
the absolute Oneness of God that Islam
speaks about there is only one Quran one
version of the Quran for all the Muslims
that Islam speaks about when we pray
what direction that we follow so all the
Muslims we follow the same direction
that one Islam all Muslims are united
with that one Islam when we say that
Muhammad peace be upon him was no more
than a prophet he was just a man he was
a messenger of God and that one Islam
that all the Muslims we agree that we
believe that this life is a short life
the life of test trial and there would
be a day of resurrection and Heaven and
Hell so Muslims are united by that one
Islam the one given by Muhammad peace be
upon him coming from God I think the
point I think this was also like a straw
man argument this is kind of diverting
what we actually were you you were
making a point over that uh it was
focusing on Islam cannot be radical
because Islam is actually if you you
want to really get technical you look at
the Lord's Prayer
you know everyone knows that who's a
Christian Oh Our Father we would say Oh
Our Lord right who are in heaven
Hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come
thy will be done so submitting to the
will of God right that's Islam that's
what it means it's just in It's just in
and if people would understand that if
you say oh it's just an Aramaic and
that's the language if you were to
equate which language that Jesus speak
it'll be closer to Arabic Aramaic those
are sister languages so it's just
submission to the will of God so you
can't
um it's totally insane to say okay um
peaceful radical submission you can't
like it doesn't make sense yes it's a
contradictory term you cannot say you
know um radical peaceful terrorist right
it just a contradiction so Islam is
peaceful it teaches peace it propagates
peace and there are so many places in
the Quran you know obviously this is a
message for all the viewers especially
that person from The Alex Jones Show
that here is the gold standard which is
the Quran and there are some misguided
Muslims who are going against the main
concept the teachings of the Quran so
the Quran speaks and preaches that
Humanity should be United under worship
of one God that we are all made into
different nations and tribes so the
Quran says in chapter 49 verse number
13 so God is speaking and God is saying
Allah is saying that oh Humanity I have
created you from one single male and one
single female and made you into Nations
and tribes that you get to know each
other not that you may despise each
other you get to know each other and the
best amongst you is the one who is the
most God-fearing well-mannered person
Islam came to unite Humanity Muhammad
peace be upon him the peaceful the
anti-racist teachings that he propagated
he said that an Arab is no Superior than
a non-arab a non-arab is no Superior
than an Arab a white is not Superior
than a black a black is not Superior
than a white all of you are children of
Adam and Adam and Adam was made from
dust that doesn't sound like a radical
teaching I mean it's a radical but it's
not uh a teaching that dis unites
Humanity it's a teaching that unites
Humanity it's all inclusive it is moral
and just
teachings the Quran says in chapter 5
verse number 32 that taking one innocent
life is like taking the life of all of
humanity
saving one life is like saving the life
of all of humanity and these are the
teachings of Islam brother Eddie that
the world needs to know it so we have
the gold standard which is Islam we have
the Quran and then there are always some
misguided people so my message our
message the message from the Muslims is
that just like we don't want to judge
Christianity by KKK we don't want to
judge Judaism by some people who are
doing acts of extremism on innocent
people up there we don't want to judge
Hinduism by some racist Hindus who are
torturing and
oppressing Christians and Muslims we
don't want to judge Buddhism by some
Buddhist monks who are doing genocide on
the Muslims and minorities in the same
way do not judge Islam by the actions of
some misguided people if you want to
judge what Islam is read the Quran pick
up a copy of the Quran we can send you a
free copy of the Quran call us 8662
Islam read the Quran and then you can
think of your own what the Quran is a
peaceful book so that's our message to
them do not judge Islam or any faith by
the actions of a few misguided
individuals he I don't want to spend too
much more time on this with the other
part we'll go to it let's not say it
together how about we take the advice of
our friend and not offend over 1.7
billion people over the globe and
pulling out these statistic sticks we're
going to address that now there we go
again it's 2016 what are we worried
about offending people so you know this
is really important you know you know um
anybody we have a strong emphasis in
Islam it's very important Our intention
what is Our intention behind making the
show what's your intention When you pray
when you give in charity when you're
doing these things the genuine sincere
intention for us doing it is that we're
going to reach some hearts and clear
some misconceptions and deliver this
this beautiful message to people who who
have gotten caught up in much of the
confusion now we ask these individuals I
ask this individual seriously for the
Alex Jones and others you know if you if
you're a truly practicing Christian and
you go by that what's the greatest
commandment to Love Thy Neighbor you
know what I mean you're trying to make
that you can still critique and talk and
whatnot but when you when you it seems
like there's a lot of hate-filled
rhetoric that comes into this and it's
not not working towards uh a common good
a common goal
right uh so he he brings up uh the next
thing is some of these statistics and
whatnot what do you have to say about
that well you know first and foremost we
have to redefine the word
terrorism terrorism is anyone who
incites Terror in in in innocent people
as simple as that when we take the
definition that means um the 4 406,000
killings by gun violence in this country
every single one of them is act of
terrorism
right and people who are doing The
Killing out there you know he's he's
saying that uh Muslims are the only ones
doing it Muslims don't have a monopoly
we can give a long list of Acts of
terrorism now and in the past by people
of different Fai especially the
Christians you know the Liberation Army
of tripura in India they're killing
innocent people and these are Christians
they're doing in the name of
Christianity and they're doing it now
today as we speak
and he's saying that you know Muslims
are storming the hospitals and the
schools and killing butchering you know
the Eastern lightning group in China in
the Name of Christ they are storming the
schools and killing innocent children
and they have done it for many many
years but you and me we will not blame
Christianity for that Christianity does
not teach that neither does Islam that
goes back if you're being sensible
reasonable and what's your intention if
your intention is to have boost your
ratings sensational
statistics and selective news reports
but that's that's a fact that you have
more would be rewarded in the but but
Christians do that every single day in
this country do they blow people up
every Christians every day people walk
in the post office I mean people walk
into post offices they walk into schools
that's what Coline is I mean I could do
this all day long there's so there are
so many more examples of Christians and
I happen to be a Christian that's back
to this notion of you're idealizing
Christianity in my mind to read there's
so many more examples of yan of
Christians who do that than you could
ever give me examples of Muslims who
have done that inside this country where
you live and work they did also did
studies there's this poll that um
Muslims are at such a lower level of
murder rates right um like
0.3% or something in the US yeah I mean
so this is totally it's fabricated it's
it's a lie what do you say about these
statistics as he bring out most of these
things are in these War zones that been
just bombed into stone age
even even even if even if Muslims if
this is true again it's opposite to
Islam it's like even if all I of make
this example if every Muslim was
drinking alcohol right that doesn't
would mean that Islam allowed it Islam
prohibited it same thing if every Muslim
was was doing Injustice and harming uh
innocent people that Islam is free of it
of course of course uh you know so
anyone can build any case but that case
would not be a fair and just Case by the
way and you made a really good point
just because some Muslims are using the
word Shar or Jihad or any Arabic
terminology and doing or committing acts
of violence we have to first and
foremost see what does the Quran says
what does Islam says about it Islam
explicitly prohibits killing of innocent
people no doubt about it even Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him he said that
even in a just War do not kill the
innocent people do not kill the women
and children means
non-combatants so the I also mentioned
this that even if the enemy kills all of
the innocent Muslims or civilians even
then Islam does not give them the right
to even touch harm or kill innocent
people from the enemy site and that's
how careful Islam
is so we can go Case by case and say
okay you know this many Muslims have
done this many killing and this many
Christians but that's not the right way
it would be endless game to play the
best thing would be does Islam incites
violence or incites peace every single
verse in Islam in the Quran example of
Muhammad peace be upon Him incites
Unity incites morality incites Justice
and the outcome of justice is
peace yeah I invite him I mean that's
the thing I like what you said and it
goes back what's your intention is it
towards peace then you'll sit with your
neighbor not throw a mic in someone's
face or maybe you got the gun and you
getting gangster and whatnot I mean come
and meet sit uh visit the mosque I mean
sincerely genuinely be like look I don't
understand this is what I he and and sit
and let let us reason together and see
to put things in their proper context
because if you're you're going to get
what you're looking for you follow me
right you know a really important point
we also need to touch upon is not to
justify Violence by some Muslims but to
understand Violence by some
Muslims you know according to the Drone
missile operators they have done the
interview so News Channel done the
interview of them two of them and they
said the Drone missile operators they
said that 95% of our intended targets we
miss it that means the drones they are
falling on innocent people the women the
children the
non-combatants and then they said on the
news channel that now we wonder how come
there are radicalism extremism terrorism
by some Muslims is is it because we
killing their innocent people by air
strikes and drone missiles and
supporting of the dictators occupation
and all of these things we need to
understand that why are people angry
because anger boils over people take
things in their own hands and they can
use the word Shar Jihad and commit and
commit acts so we have to if we are
going to tackle radicalism and terrorism
by anyone we have to know the cause of
it and the cause is people are angry
their homes are being uh destroyed their
family are being killed the land is
being you know sent back to the Stone
Age and dictators are oppressing them
and there's the reason they're angry at
those foreign powers for are supporting
all of those things so if we are going
to tackle terrorism we have to look at
the cause we have to tackle the cause
and once we do justice outcome would be
peace mhm not just in the Middle East
but all over the world and that's the
prescription that Islam provides do
justice with
people and that's the way my dear friend
that we need to share with him so this
would be again going towards Islam
doesn't justify uh doing such evil acts
if someone would take the law into their
own hands and go and kill innocent
people and bombings that's against but
you're talking about now hey it's has to
do not with Isam but this is a
geopolitical thing geopolitical none
these guys when they're cutting the head
or whoever is because there's one aspect
many cuz this show The Alex Jones Show
is known for calling out uh different
events as being false Flags you know
setups and whatnot but it's it's
interesting it's selective now for
they'll say that for many other events
but now if the guy has a name um uh
that's somewhat Islamic does no no now
here it's like we're not going to go
down a rabbit hole and exploit it we're
going to just say the Muslims did it you
follow me but it's important that that
we know that uh Islam is free of it uh
Dr Robert Pape and many terrorist
experts that they don't bring on their
mainstream media platforms these people
also come out these are academics who
substantiate this claim purely secular
because you see many uh Muslim suicide
terrorist groups are also P purely
secular such as the pkk in Turkey the
pkk in Turkey which did uh numerous
suicide attacks in the 1990s uh is again
a mark IST read
anti-religious suicide terrorist group
because you see if Islam as uh sort of a
radical religion or if it were just
radical Muslims uh doing this then what
you would expect is sort of this thin
veneer of suicide attack kind of
scattered all around the world uh you
would expect that oh there's 1.4 billion
Muslims you know there's this teeny tiny
Fringe of Muslims kind of everywhere
who'd be willing to do suicide attack uh
but that's not not the way the data
looks it's really concentrated and it's
really concentrated in occupations this
is has to do with foreign invasions yeah
I mean so a sane person listening to the
show they have to think you know where
were the acts of terrorism radicalism in
the Middle East UH 60 70 90 100 years
ago it was a peaceful Pace when
oppression and the dictators and the
colonial powers and the and the European
poers when they came and they occupied
and oppressed and left the dictators
that's how people became angry you know
how come you guys are oppressing us and
killing our innocent
people it's a human problem when
Whenever there is oppression on human
beings people act and take the things in
their own hand even though Islam
condemns anyone taking things in their
own hand and killing innocent people
Islam condemns it yeah and when and when
you when you when you add up all the
amount of bombs that have been dropped
on on the these Muslim majority
countries they're they're not in the
hundreds they're in the thousands nobody
Dropped a Bomb here there's thousands of
thousands and now displacement people
are becoming refugees making refugees go
back home while stop bombing my home you
know what I mean people are just where
you what's going on I mean so this is
the root cause let's look at the RO root
cause and then we'll understand the
problem you you know a good example is
in
1942 or 41 right the Pearl Harbor in the
19 early bodies uh us became angry
Japanese attacked the Pearl Harbor and
killed the
soldiers what did we do out of anger to
reply to the cause cause and effect is
always there the US government when went
there Hiroshima Nagasaki two bombs were
dropped close to
300,000 people died innocent people
right bombs were dropped right on the
civilian Center so it's really important
for us there's always a cause and effect
if we see that there is a problem we
have to understand what's the cause of
the problem the cause of the problem is
not Islam it is
geopolitical once we take care of that
inshallah God willing there would be
Justice there would be unity and there
would be peace so that's our intention
really to reach out to people from this
Alex Jones Show and any other uh
networks out there people sit with the
Muslims talk with the Muslim let's have
some uh some civil conversations and and
and really try to work together for a
common good let's just touch upon
Ramadan it is here it's it's made it and
and and this is part of the daa you know
communicating this peaceful beautiful
message of submission to the Creator not
the creation living your true purpose
that was sent by the Creator Islam is
nothing esoteric just only a few can
understand it really makes sense and if
you're asking God Almighty for guidance
you'll see that Islam provides beautiful
teachings preserved authentic and what
would you comment on as many Muslims
procrastinate throughout the year even
at now of of living and communicating
this beautiful message of Peace well
what is the very first thing comes to
your mind brother Eddie if I say the
word
Ramadan would that be food or would that
be fasting fasting fasting right maybe
not food hopefully for some people so
it's very important Ramadan is fasting
but even before fasting was prescribed
in the Years
624 uh Ramadan was the month of the
Quran it's a month of the Quran in
Ramadan the Quran was revealed in the
starting in the year 610 and it says in
the Quran chapter number 2 verse number
185 that Quran came as a guidance for
all of
humanity and who is to take that
guidance that beautiful message the
message of peace and Justice to the
world we Muslims are given that
assignment we are supposed to be the
ambassadors of taking the guidance
so it's really important when we are
going about in fasting and waking up for
S and doing ifar and planning the whole
day and I and in the taravi prayer we
also have to be conscious that this
Quran that we have it is meant not just
for Arabs Indian Pakistani Africans it
is meant for all of humanity so that
means we should be actively conveying
the message so here are some of the ways
we can really quickly do it we can give
them uh our colleagues so we made this
Ramadan cars by the way this it's a
greeting card to be given to our
non-muslim neighbors and colleagues and
friends if they open it it has a
wonderful message about what Ramadan is
number one number two it's really
important for us also to mention to our
friends especially the Christians and
the Jewish friends that when we are
fasting we're actually fasting because
the previous prophets they also used to
fast chapter number two verse number 183
says so God is saying that fasting is
prescribed to you means to the Muslims
as it was prescribed to those before you
that you may attain God Consciousness
tawa so we are fasting because Jesus and
Moses and Abraham and NOA peace be upon
all of them they also used to fast you
know when he received the Ten
Commandments Moses peace be upon him it
says in the book of Exodus that he was
in the state of
fasting Jesus fasted Matthew chapter 4
verse number two he was fasting the way
that he fasted is the way that Muslims
are fasting now it's all the same
he just did not used to refrain from
orange juice or from fish burger right
he used to fast total abstinence from
food water drink anything else so we are
fasting because we are following the
rituals of all the prophets we are we
are also following the message of all
the prophets the message of absolute
submission to one God Alone not
worshiping humans and Idols or the
creation but only worship the Creator we
can also have open houses open the doors
of the M mosque massis invite people for
the ifar open
houses socialize with them connect with
them give them the date fruit and the
samosas connect with them and introduce
them the beautiful faith of Islam invite
our neighbors to our homes even can Alex
Jones and his crew come uh yeah if they
like samosas and Biryani
welcome no seriously we do want them to
come by the way so they can sit down
with us as brothers and sisters in
humanity we want them to come
now you know Ramadan is coming now in
the month of in in the season of Summer
that means long days and especially the
families and the kids are off we can
take this opportunity and go outside in
downtown busy places and pass on the
brochures we can also have many dawa
tables you know so many carnivals and
festivals are going on like recently
last weekend in skoki we had the skoki
Festival of cultures gain pieace had had
a dawa Booth up there along with the MCC
m
this year many more people came compared
to previous years because people want to
learn about Islam there is so much buzz
in the media about Islam and people want
to know what Islam is so these are some
of the ways that we as Muslims besides
doing fasting besides reading the Quran
and the long prayers at night also we
have to realize that this is the month
of the Quran Quran is meant for all of
humanity let's take the message to
humanity inshallah that's that's
beautiful beautiful that you can't go
around there connect educate yourself
two ways to be fooled is by believing
something that's not true or refusing
pushing away not wanting to building up
a wall to not let what is true come to
you and great opportunity is to visit
AAS sit with the Muslims those places of
worship are not bomb making factories
come inside look inside they are
peacemaking factor meet peacemaking
Factory meet the people inside who are
dedicating their lives to the service of
the creator of the heavens and earth the
same creator that created Jesus the one
that Jesus prayed to called people to
worship that's the Creator we're
worshiping the one God worship him alone
not his creation delivering this message
to you that's our intention to unify to
bring some love more love to you guys we
dedicated the car ride and most of this
show we didn't I didn't plan on doing
the whole episode but almost over 80 90%
was so I hope that this doesn't go in
vain I hope the people will really look
at you know our genuine attempt to clear
much this misinformation and hopefully
the invitation will be accepted thank
you very
much that's that peace full greeting we
started with peace we end with peace
Salam alayum in the words of Jesus how
would he say it sham yes asalam alaykum
peace be with you thank you very much
salams
