The Deen Show – Amazing Stories Of People Accepting Islam With A Message For Trolls

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah Salaam Alaikum greetings of peace. How are you guys doing? Now? For those
who have been watching the deen show for quite some time, you know, we're going on over 10 years 500
plus episodes with the main mission of claim many of the misconceptions, the false fallacies about
Islam, educating people on this beautiful way of life, the fastest growing way of life in the world
yet most misunderstood, delivering the purpose of life, we should want to know our purpose, right?
We've been created for what is party and play? No, there is a purpose. And many have questions and
we have a one 800 number that people can call. Now we have and we've been collaborating we
		

			collaborating with Dr. Sabina from gain peace and he's going to share some wonderful story. How's it
been now since the new president presidents taken office, have the calls fluctuated gone up? Have
they gotten down some stories to share with us? How are you handling Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa
Alaykum Sana from a Peace and blessings of Allah be upon you and to the all the listeners and the
watchers out there. That severe there was a sister, a medical doctor, you were sharing with me a
very just inspiring story about her kind of having some health issues, she thought she was going to
die. She saw the one 800 number, inviting people to tell us Well, tell us about the story. It's very
		

			touching story. Okay. hamdulillah. So about three months ago, we received a call on the gain pieces
hotline, 800 662 Islam. So this number is out there on the brochures and the billboards, TV, radio
media, so many 1000s of people call so far Alhamdulillah. And after the shows, I usually put this
number out, I see people if you have any questions, call the number before you leave a rude comment
or something. Call us. Yes, call us. And if you have any questions, give us a call. If you need a
copy of the Quran, give us a call. If you want to become a Muslim, give us a call, right? No force
your choice. But we are there. So about three months ago, we got a call from this lady from the
		

			sister.
		

			And she said that she saw this telephone number. And the reason she is calling is that she wants to
become a Muslim. Just like that, just like that. And we were you know, so it's not as surprising to
us because literally 1000s of people have called and they have embraced Islam on the telephone. So
each time a person calls we ask them the question in a welcome to Islam or how did you hear about
us? And tell us your background? You know, how what made you interested in Islam, but you usually
someone like her who's called she's done her research she's been usually this is this is the end?
This is like, okay, the decision has been made, if they want to embrace it, but have you found that
		

			most people who call and say I want to take Shahada or I want to become a Muslim, they've done their
their research? Yes, almost all the time they have done the research. But even then, before anyone
takes a Shahada, or embraces Islam, we go over the six beliefs and the five pillars, just to make
sure that we are getting giving them authentic information. Yeah, you know, it so happened that they
may watch a video, or they may interact with a Muslim or maybe read a book. And sometimes people
become emotional. And they call and they take the Shahada, which is good. But before we give them
the Shahada, we make sure that they understand the fundamentals of Islam. So Alhamdulillah, when
		

			this lady when this sister She called, we asked her the question, you know, what made you
interested? Tell us about your background. So she said
		

			that she has studied Islam for some time, actually, for a long time. And she's a medical doctor, and
she was having some problems, health problems, severe problem. So she went to the ER. So she was
calling from the hospital, by the way. But the reason she was calling that time and not waiting
until she goes home, is because she was saying, What if she dies in the hospital? What if she does
not have time? She wants to embrace the message of Islam when she is alive. Even a baby from the
hospital from the ER bed Alhamdulillah and she took Shahada brother Eddie
		

			lying on the bed in the ER she proclaimed La ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasul Allah, there is no other
God besides one God Allah and Mohammed sotto la live Salaam is the messenger and the slave servant
of Allah. I mean, that's, that's a reality. We're all gonna die. And I think life and all its, and
that things entertaining us. That kind of has us not thinking about the reality of death, but she
felt something coming on that she but she's still alive today. She made it.
		

			Not only she's alive, but she's an active Muslim. Now she's helping other new Muslims Alhamdulillah
she's part of our WhatsApp forum, by the way. And if anyone you know is
		

			new person if they say that, you know, I need help and so and so situation is almost always the very
first person to welcome them to Islam and to step out to help them out which form is that? It's a
WhatsApp forum group. Yeah, for the new Muslims. It's a nationwide group that we have. So they can
interact, they can help each other it's just really dangerous. Yeah to gain peace. So she's on
there, she's helping people now Mashallah. She's on there. She's helping people. She became a mentor
of the new Muslims, even though she is a new new Muslim, Muslim herself. Okay, so she went through
investigating Islam looking at all the evidence that Islam provides. And some people need an extra
		

			push, so that he or visit whatever was going on in her life. Hopefully, we can get on the program,
and she can tell us more of the details of her story and what what was affecting her. But it was
that bad that she felt like I can die here, right. Yeah, you know, it's a wake up call. You know,
our Creator gives us so many opportunities all throughout our lives. The challenges themselves can
be assigns, maybe the 800 number that the C could be assigned maybe when there was the deen show and
look at the truth of Islam could be assigned. So the science of Allah subhanaw taala opportunities
are all over the place. If a person looks at the opportunity, grabs opportunity gives us a call was
		

			the dean show Alhamdulillah they are the chosen and the blessed ones. So I hope and pray that those
who are watching the show who are not yet Muslims, give us a call 806 six to Islam. We are here to
help out you know 24 seven, give us a call. If you need to study more, we can converse with you any
questions that you have, inshallah we can we can answer that. Could that be about Sharia law, the
misconceptions the media spewing out there could be the concept of jihad, you know, it's been
twisted, right and left
		

			multiple marriages of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam or quote unquote, the violence by some
Muslims any call any doubt any concern that you may have? Give us a call? We can let you know what
the Quran teaches about this noble concepts. How was the How was the noble life of Prophet Muhammad?
sallallahu wasallam. Right.
		

			So God has given a lot has given this opportunities. Let's grab the opportunities and we pray that
may Allah guide you and all of us are the nest does the highest route to take many people as soon as
there is a video or something to do with Islam. Many people we know that was it. Time Magazine, back
in the early 70s. They printed an article talking about the over what was a 50 60,000 books, anti
Islam books that were printed. You heard about this? Yes. In the Western countries. I believe it was
time magazine. They say it's a higher number, by the way. Yeah. It was no that don't know, I'm
sorry, over a span of 150 years. Yes. They were calculating that over 50,000 books were written
		

			against Islam. So that's over a span of 150,150 years. Yeah. Did you hear this one? Yes, yes. So
now, somehow, you know, this is the
		

			information that people are getting on Islam. Now a person ends up hearing something, you know,
twisted about it. The nobler route is to pick up the phone and call before someone you know, have
you ever read taken a chance? You know, timeout, and you read some of the comments that people have
made really just nasty, vile. You know, I invite these people, someone who might be watching this
and someone has just usually they're projecting something of, of hate that's inside, they're just
not happy with themselves. Usually a person just when you're at peace, you have peace, you live in
peace, you're happy. You don't personify this. Usually, you know, you you you take, take a more
		

			nobler route, but even those person who are bitter and angry, I mean, this can be the key to
eradicate that, that disease in the heart. Right. And I think that's the it takes some courage to do
that. So pick up the phone, call one 800 662 Islam, ask any questions, you're saying it doesn't
matter what course, make the connection and have a conversation. You know, one more story comes to
my mind regarding people sometimes when they are brainwashed by the media or by some friends of
theirs. So 26th of August, we had a open house at the Islamic center of romeoville. About an hour
from here. After the presentation and the social activities and the tour of the masjid. I approached
		

			a non Muslim sister, a non Muslim lady neighbor, and I asked her Okay, what made you interested to
come to the mosque, you know, and how did you enjoy the open house? And she said, she said that, you
know, Seville, my friend warned me never to go and meet the Muslims because they make kidnap you,
		

			sir friends tell her to this. Yes. Yeah. And then she said, You know, my friend said if you're going
to go to the mosque or
		

			House do not eat their food because it may be poisoned. Wow. Right. And then with a big smile, he
said, you know, it's a bit I'm still alive, nobody kidnapped me, and I'm still you know, have eaten
the food delicious. So when people attack Islam, some sincere people, they became more curious.
		

			And Alhamdulillah they leave with positive experience. In fact, on that open house, we had many,
many copies of the Quran, every single one of them ran out, and we have to scramble to get more
copies, because that was that much demand by our neighbors.
		

			People think now, since with the new president and Islamophobia on the rise, I was looking at some
of the numbers where it was
		

			an all time high all time high.
		

			That it's ever been about on the amount of marches that have been attacked, vandalized, bombed. I
mean, like never before. So, you know, people's, obviously through many corrupt and evil politicians
who are also capitalizing off of this fear and false propaganda, you would think now, how is it
because this is like, on the scene, the calls that are coming in to this number the requests to get
more krons? How is it as it is, if you say business, if you look at it from a,
		

			from a business person is business low or high business is low or high
		

			Alhamdulillah the business of saving souls, there you go, I think there's a better a better way of
packaging that message, but they're just given an example how people were, you know, if they had if
this was something actual product, but this is something more valuable than any of that on the
eighth of November, when Mr. Trump when he when he became victorious when it comes to the electoral
college or so
		

			many Muslims, we were not fearful, by the way, but we were overly cautious what is going to happen
to the Muslim Ummah in the West? What is going to happen to the world? I mean, obviously, we had
trust in Allah subhanaw taala, right. So when it comes to the Islamophobia, the hate attacks and the
burning down of the massages, there's a reality unfortunate reality of Islamophobia. But when it
comes to Dawa, or the business of Dawa as we would say, how is the business going saving of souls?
We never had better Edie as good of a year when it comes to data. As this year, the year 2017. And
the year is not over yet. Meaning people that inquisitive to know about Islam Alhamdulillah Look at
		

			this. We had more calls from people asking about Islam this year than we had any year in the last 25
years. This year. Yeah, this year. 2017 more calls? Yes. And we had the dour telephone line since
1993.
		

			We had more people requesting copies of the Quran this year than any year in the past.
		

			Can you imagine that?
		

			We had more positive coverage by the media this year than all the media coverage is since the last
25 years.
		

			How about this one here? How about this one? That's amazing. How about this one here, right? We had
more Masjid open houses this year in the USA, that all the open houses in the last 25 years
combined. Set it against the more open houses where people are requesting to come visit a mosque or
you're having an open house at the mosques, sending invitations and people come for themselves to
learn to see to meet Muslims. So more than combined a combination of all the years prior to this
year. Yes. 100 more people have been attending these open houses. Yeah. So we had more open houses,
and also more people attending the open houses. You know, in fact, when we had early this year at
		

			MCC Masjid, right, our Chicago Masjid 1000 people came Alhamdulillah we had the ICN Masjid open
house. Close to 1000 actually 1200 people came at the mercy of al Qaeda we had open house 500 people
came in the Bolingbrook Masjid the MA B Masjid, about 400 people came right. literally hundreds of
people are coming. So more people are coming more open houses than any other year in the last 25
years combined. And that's the blessings Allah subhanaw taala has given to us. But look at this one
here. This statistic
		

			Alhamdulillah by the guidance of Allah subhanaw taala more people embraced Islam this year than any
year in the last 25 years through the gain piece and the massages right.
		

			So so one set Yo, one such person by the way. Are you ready for one more story? Yes, yeah.
		

			So this
		

			And he called. And we had many call takers call associates. So I was the one from the law who took
the call. And this person he said, you know, can I have a free copy of the Quran? I said, Okay,
fine, Brother, what is your name, your, your, your address, and we will send one to you. Then I
became curious, you know, so he was calling from Philadelphia from from Philadelphia. You know,
john, what made you interested to read the Koran.
		

			This is his story. He said,
		

			that many of my friends, they went to Afghanistan and Iraq, to fight the Muslims, because we became
really angry after 911.
		

			Then he said that I was not able to go because I had some obligation, my family, my business over
here, but I took the mission to fight Muslims and Islam by reading their Koran by by examining their
ideology, and they want to destroy the ideology.
		

			So he studied for the last about 17 years since 911. And finally he called and he said, I have a few
more questions for you.
		

			And after his questions were answered, but there Eddie, that person used to be really aggressive
islamophobe against Islam and Muslims on the telephone, the more that he read the Quran, the more
that he examined tauheed against Trinity and all of their his heart melted on the telephone this
person he recited La ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasul Allah.
		

			This is a obviously when someone wants to accept Islam to see that declaration and they make, that
there's nothing worthy of worship except the Creator of the heavens and earth and Arabic Allah, and
that Muhammad just like Jesus, Moses, Abraham, and all the preceding messengers, they were sent by
God, they weren't gods. They weren't semi Gods demigods. They were callers of got caught messengers,
calling people to worship only God exists, not just fits, that fits. That's like the piece I've been
people say like, that's what I've been looking for. Because many people because of all of the
esoteric, all the mystical, strange things have been associated with manmade counterfeit religions.
		

			They kind of throw them all in the same bunch and just get turned off a religion. So there's a big
lesson for our audience out there, whether it be our fellow brothers and sisters in humanity, right?
Give Islam a chance. read the Quran, examine the Loeb noble life of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon
him. Because on the Day of Judgment, when you stand in front of the Creator,
		

			he is going to ask you the question, I have given you the opportunities. They were wonderful shows
like The in show gain piece, telephone number free copy of the Quran they were offering, they were
in running the open houses in in the mosque close to you. Why didn't you grab the opportunity, and
that will be too late for them to come back and grab those opportunities. Now is the time my dear
brothers, my dear sisters of humanity. Life is very short. It is unpredictable.
		

			people end up in the hospital and they're making the calls and 100 ilari. Yeah, it's he's not going
to ask you about the Conor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather fight, or nelo, Triple G golf tour, that those
are all the part the parts of the entertainment and it's interesting that when someone is like a in
a position of life or death like she was, she started to reflect started to think I need to get
serious, she accepted Islam be someone is now confined, let's say in jail, sadly, you know, there's
many people who end up in jail. They come in as
		

			non Muslims, not yet Muslims. And you see that why is Islam the fastest growing religion not only
outside of jail but also in jail. The statistics prove that Islam is in the prison system it's that
these people they weren't Muslim you know, some obviously might you know who not practicing Islam
they might you know, end up there.
		

			But people who had nothing to do with Islam they go in now what I wanted to say be it now they're
confined, meaning now they got time to open up the books, so many distractions in life, right so
much things entertaining us 600 satellite channels, you know, the clubs and a weekend's pubs on the
weekdays. You know, it's so many things people just they don't have a chance to just sit and reflect
and think city big building. But now you know about that number and in the prisons, now a person
gets locked down. Now they can open up and read and they choose Islam because it has the evidence
and provides the facts, not the fiction. The purpose in life and people are accepting it in the in
		

			the prison system. And system actually, you know, gain peace has a department called prison power.
We have dedicated resources and personnel. We are actually advertising in the prison magazines for
the inmates and the prison magazines for the admin
		

			faders showing them that we have this service. If your inmates or the admin administrators would
like to call, they can give us a call. And we can send them free copy of the Quran and the
literature because they have a lot of time. 100 Laurie? Yeah. In one more story, right. Are you
ready for this one? This one is really interesting story.
		

			We had more visits to the masjid by the schools and colleges and the churches, right this year than
any year that I can think about. And here is the story regarding this. So there is this teacher who
used to bring her kits for many years, you know, each time the senior class social studies
humanities class, and this teacher, she heard the message of Islam so many times correct. Allah
subhanaw taala has given her the opportunity hamdullah two months ago,
		

			the teacher from Naperville Alhamdulillah,
		

			she accepted Islam, the teacher while he had accepted it, so she's been bringing in groups and she's
been hearing the presentation has been hearing the introduction to Islam And finally, she accepted
Islam she was thinking perhaps for you know, the presentations. So she comes to the MSI Masjid and
other massages, by the way, right? So there are three important things that we need to discuss. One
would be, they may be curious, our viewers may be curious, you know, what, what is the most
important aspect within Islam? Or what is the number one reason people are accepting Islam right? Is
it the concept of oneness of God? Is it the noble life of Muhammad peace be upon him? Is it the
		

			Quran guidance? Is it the hijab morality modesty?
		

			That say that's a question that will come to their mind the 1000s of people what is the number one
reason
		

			what what do you think it is? What I mean? I think it's the the concept of God you know, the the
pure monotheism the the direct and simple message of the purpose of life easy to digest, easy to
implement. That is the answer whether it was my price, your price that a good deal offer, you might
give you the best in this love and those in the hereafter you your family and the Muslim army.
		

			When we ask them the question of our fellow Americans and people of different nations when they call
and they embraced Islam of their own choice, that what made you interested the number one thing that
made you interested when they look into Islam, and almost always more than 60% of the time they say,
		

			it is the oneness of God, absolute monotheism, compared to the multiple persons in Trinity compared
to the idol worship compared to giving divinity to creation, how Islam separates absolute
monotheism, absolute oneness of God, from the law. It touches here it is rational, no mysterious
dogmas. And it touches here, oneness of God, the same message that Ibrahim alayhis salam, Prophet
Abraham, Moses and Jesus and Ishmael and Isaac and Muhammad peace be upon them, they proclaimed
number one reason why. Second important point, the viewers may be curious, especially the Muslim
viewers, you know, whether it's a bit what happens after the 1000s of people who convert to Islam,
		

			what do you guys do? What happens after the Shahada? Right? It's an important question what happens
from the day that they embrace Islam? First and foremost, we give them a welcome to Islam package
Alhamdulillah it's a gift from the Muslim community to welcome them, come join the Muslim nation and
the Muslim ummah. Alhamdulillah you're one of us. Now you have a 1.7 billion family members. Second,
we appoint trained mentors. So we have mentorship training that we provide to the massages and the
data centers and the different groups. Number three, we have classes for this new Muslim brothers
and sisters Alhamdulillah, both online classes and in house classes. So if any Masjid would like to
		

			obtain these resources, we can help them in Sharla. Number four, we have many social activities,
right? Because Islam is not just about education and education. It's about healthy halaal
permissible fun activities for the families and for the kids. And then we have conferences, you
know, just we have the ignor is now mass care conferences. We have current conferences for our
reverb brothers and sisters in Islam. So one such conference which is coming up is the first of
October 2018 Sunday,
		

			right from 10am up until about 6pm inshallah, at the water food banquet. So if anyone goes to gain
peace.com forward slash conference, or call us at the telephone number, and you will be part of that
conference. It is for networking, socializing, educating
		

			It's a good fun education, educational activities for our new Muslim brothers and sisters in Islam
inshallah, we're almost out of time. Just a couple more points. What's the common question? What's
the number one misconception? So we, you told us what was the number one thing that attracts people
to Islam? And obviously people now they know that Islam simply means to submit to peacefully submit
your will to the Creator of the heavens and earth. And that's how you get peace in life and the
heart and the soul. What is it that people have a misconception about? What's the number one thing
when they call the question that they have nowadays in 2017? Yeah, the number one misconception
		

			people have is about Sharia. Sharia law as they say.
		

			So Sharia law, people have this notion that Sharia law is something harsh, it is going to come to
America, it is going to force everyone to become Muslim, it is going to kill all the non believers.
Out of this misconception that the media sometime is spewing. The thing that is what Islam or Sharia
law is all about. In a nutshell, Sharia law is God's guidance that God has given so humanity can
live in justice, morality, equality, and peace with all
		

			but Sharia law given to Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. For Humanity. It's not the very first
time God's guidance or Sharia law came to humanity in a when we in fact, look at the 10 commandments
in the Old Testament. Exodus chapter 20, verse number three, Deuteronomy, chapter five, verse number
six, the 10 commandments, we say, was the Sharia law, guidance given by God to Prophet Moses and his
people.
		

			take only one God, do not worship anyone besides him. Do not make any graven images, respect your
parents be good to your neighbors, do not lie, do not cheat, right? We say that was the Sharia law
given to Prophet Moses and his people. But what comes? Do you think further le comes to your mind
when somebody says Sharia law? Or what do you think comes to the mind of our fellow Americans when
they hear about Sharia law? I mean, totally the opposite of what's supposed to come to the mind. I
mean, it just shows the power of the media and the brain, you know, the, the distortions that have
been perpetuated out there, the false the lies, half truths. And it just, it reminds me of when
		

			somebody looks into this, they make the connection. I just recently had a investigative journalist.
He's also an academic terrorism expert. He was a, he called he calls himself he, he called himself
before he was a Muslim bigot. He was trying to blame Islam for everything, right. And this is what
many people are doing nowadays, the politicians, right, the scapegoat, and he escaped well, but it's
interesting. CJ Wheeler men had him on his show. And he was now he was talking about the genocide
that's happening in Myanmar, right against the Rohingya Muslims. He is sitting there being on a
voice for the oppressed Muslims, right. And he's saying that this is this is nonsense, right? The
		

			facts, the data, right, that he went down and investigated, he wanted to see what motivated people,
because they try to link and say, okay, it's Islam, that's motivating people. But when he went down
this rabbit hole, and he looked into it, he said, this is this is just fiction. It's not true,
right? It's not true. It's, it's, and this is an academic, right? Yes. And many other academics who
have, who have taken the time, but most people don't take the time. That's the thing. They just
what's been passed down, they just, you know, repeat like parents. So it's important lesson for our
fellow Americans and for the Muslims and for all of us. God has given us a mind and ability and
		

			blessings of knowledge and experience and we have to use it and not blindly believe in blindly
follow. Yeah. So again, when it comes to Sharia law, it's important for us to know it is not just
about a punishment system. You know, I give this example all the time, right? Suppose if aliens if
there are aliens out there, if they come and come to earth and ask me the question, you know,
Seville, what is the constitution all about? If I tell them that the constitution punishes people by
lethal injection, by electrocution and by hanging,
		

			if that's all I say, and then they leave, am I doing justice to the US Constitution? No, not right.
Why?
		

			Because I'm only touching upon the punishment system in the US, and ignoring the breath and the
beauty of the Constitution. In the same way, within the breath and beauty of the Sharia guidance
that God has given to humanity less than point 5% deals with a punishment system.
		

			And every society needs to have checks and balances punishment system. That is the reason we have
the law enforcement the police force the armed forces the homeland, secure
		

			Ready, is it not? In the same way with proper checks and balances Islam also has the punishment
system. But the rest of the Sharia law deals with Unity of humanity, Chapter 49, verse number 13,
that how a law has created one male and one female, and made us into nations and tribes and people,
so we get to know each other. That's part of the Sharia law. Part of the Sharia law is to fight
racism any ways and forms it exists out there. Right Muhammad peace be upon him. He said that a Arab
is no superior to a non Arab and non Arab is no superior to an Arab. A white is not superior to a
black and black is not superior to a white, all of your children of Adam and Adam was made from just
		

			equality of humanity of all the races is part of the Sharia law. It's part of the Sharia law to take
care of our neighbors, our our our neighborhoods, you know, Muhammad peace be upon him, he said that
you're not a full believer, if you eat, you're full. And if your neighbors are hungry,
		

			it's part of the Sharia law to take care of the minorities in a Muslim country. Right, protecting
the minorities the way Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam when he moved from Mecca to Medina, how he
protected the Jewish people from them being preyed by the super powers of the time. The Sharia law
is God's guidance. But you know, just like
		

			some Christians have taken verses out of context from their Bible, or the Jewish people have taken
passages out of their Bible, and have caused the Crusades oppression of the Palestinians, the
Inquisition, the slave traders and the colonial powers. They have used the Bible their ideology for
their own agenda, some misguided Muslims, using the word Sharia law or jihad. They have oppressed
that women, they have taken the rights of the of the minorities, they are forcefully converting some
some non Muslims, if they're doing it, they're going against the clear cut teachings of the Sharia
law that gives the protection to the minorities, autonomy, freedom of practicing their faith. So
		

			again, a lesson for all of us, my dear brother Eddie and for all of us is that do not blindly
believe what people are saying and following and actions of misguided people. If you want to know
what Islam is.
		

			Give us a call. We can give you a free copy of the Quran. Have your mind open, come to the open
houses, converse with Muslims, then you will find the truth inshallah often so you got nothing to
lose but so much so much to gain by making that connection. Take the higher route. It's easy to be a
keyboard troll and say vile, you know, profanities and hurtful words. But go ahead and call before
you do that. Be brave enough to make the call one 806 six to Islam, ask your questions, have a
dialogue and make your decision from there. And then call right now. They can call right now right
now you can call one 800 662 islaam Thank you very much. We're out of time. Thank you for being with
		

			us Dr. Seville. inshallah, we'll have you back again. And thank you guys for sitting through another
episode of the D show. Subscribe if you haven't already, and call call us. Let's make the
connection. Ask us your questions. And let's see what happens from there. Thank you so much for
tuning in. We'll see you next time. Until then Peace be with you. Assalamu
