			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salam aleikum. That's the greeting of peace, peace be unto you today, we
have our special friend, Shaikh Syed raga, who is here with us on the deen show. And we're gonna be
talking about good manners, good etiquette. Because you know what? It's easy to be a thug. You want
to be a gangster, you want to be a thug. You want to curse. You want to act out a line. That's easy,
but how do you get in line? It takes some discipline. That takes a little bit of work. So we're
going to get some advice from the shake when we come back here on the deen show. Don't go nowhere.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			This is the
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:08
			this is the
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:23
			Salam Alaikum alaikum Salaam Rahmatullah peace be unto you.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:42
			You still playing ball? Absolute Have you ever gotten dunked on? Now be real, you got an Islam? You
gotta tell the truth? Has anyone ever coming over and just dumped on you? Well probably happened
once or twice, once or twice, twice. So this is this I'm willing to take the charge.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:02:06
			Okay, this this is not you're not an NBA superstar. I'm not you are someone who is really
influential amongst the youth. You play ball, you keep it real, the real deal, but you're not a
thug, nor gangster, you're a Muslim one has to the will of the one God. Why is it easy to be a thug?
But it's harder to be disciplined and be righteous talk to us it
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:16
			was all misunderstanding. I mean, these young people the listen to this music, they watch these
movies, they think you know, to be cool.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:37
			You got to be a thug. You got to be out of line, you got to be using certain language, you got to
walk a certain way. But where they don't understand is walking on the wild side. Wild Side. Exactly.
It's not like this. Now, when you pray in public, now you're walking on the wild side, when you pray
in public that way of all the apps
		
00:02:38 --> 00:03:17
			when you stop shooting the ball and you say, hey, time for Salah, now you are walking on the wild
side. And you know what's so funny? Because we did this, you know, you You almost you know winning
or losing the game, and it's just a friendly game. And everybody's tense. Everybody was excited when
they want to win or they won, you know? And then you say no time for me, what are you doing? Allahu
Akbar. And they stopped dribbling the ball out of respect. Now, when they see you doing this, they
say, No, I'm taking my hat off for you. You need a man of principles. You don't have to curse. You
don't have to lie. You don't have to, you know, use certain words to impress them just being a
		
00:03:17 --> 00:04:02
			Muslim, behaving like the prophets doing what is necessary that would impress these guys. Tell him
so why do you think many people they resort to the easy way? Because this way? Does it take some
influence because when you get angry, it's easy to let some foul dirty language out of your mouth.
But this is acceptable in Islam, is it acceptable for the same tongue that you use to praise the
creator can foul language come out of this mouth, any weak person can do this. Any intelligent
individual can say these things, let his anger go or anger going. But only elite only the elite only
small number of people can suppress that anger, you know, and manly behavior in a certain incentive,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:43
			certain manner, and then deal with the people like that. So I don't think it's necessary for you to
use foul language or to be like that, but just be yourself. Now taking role models, as those who are
always using profanity, 50 cents to POC, Britney Spears, all these other pop stars, you got their
pictures up in the room, and they're probably using the worst of language acting the worst away. So
isn't it natural? If you're taking these as role models, then you're going to probably emulate them
and you're going to start to succumb to what they fell. And they're doing and that's fine. I mean,
if these people are hitting, they booking the tickets to jahannam that's fine. I mean, but if they
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:59
			want to go to Gen B with the righteous B with a loss of power to Anna, be with the prophets. This is
not the way to go. This is absolutely the wrong direction. They should not be taking these
individuals as role models. They should look into what must have the law they should look
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:44
			into what Abdullah did whenever john came and he grabbed him by the ear and picked him by the air
and have to live in a Muslim land with his on his feet with one ear only, you know, how did he
respond? What did he do? This is the people we should take them as a role model like these people.
Now tell us you mentioned gender. Is this something that's the, you know, people get hooked up on
hollywood, bollywood, and they start to fantasize, and now their heart and their mind and their
bodies yearning towards this, but you said gender, talk to us a little bit about genders get people
excited for gender. Oh, Jenny's. See what a loss upon what Anna said, through the messenger overload
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			that really matter.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			What are
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			what are
		
00:05:53 --> 00:06:38
			three things? See, the first thing is added to Liberty, that Allah subhanho wa Taala called you he's
his slave, his servant. And that itself is a title that you should be proud of. Not the being proud
of you being the belong to this group or that group, but simply by saying, I am one of the sermons
of a loss of Hannah with Anna. And that's why the poet is that woman Meza, then is shut off on to
walk into the theater. Oh, the holy Holika event is what made me so proud, so happy that you are
Allah subhanho wa Taala call me my slave, you call me and I am you sleep. So the Messenger of Allah
said, and that's it by the laws that I have prepared for my servant manner in which no eyes have
		
00:06:38 --> 00:07:15
			ever seen, what a wooden semi a no one ever heard of. And now, all the description of gender that we
have in the Koran in the sun, in comparison on the reality of general is nothing you cannot even
imagine your mind cannot comprehend the beauty and what we have in general. And then Allah subhana
wa tada said, and this is for the righteous now in general, is everything that we dream of
everything that we like, everything that we want. And I think we should aim for that rather than
aiming for this worldly little things. I will vanish tomorrow is going to be gone, right?
Absolutely. We're gonna leave it all behind. No matter how much wealth you accumulate, it's gone. At
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:45
			the end, what matters what goes down to your grave with you? What's going to follow down there, your
armor, your action, your action, your deeds, good deeds? Absolutely. And you mentioned now for the
not yet Muslims, those who are out there, they're sincere, they want to know the truth. And we say
some Arabic words. So for them we'd like to define because there's a lot of misconception you said a
loss of Hana what that What does this mean? A lot, you know, the one who deserves all the praises
and think. So when we say and hamdulillah we say All praise is due to a loss.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:08:22
			So, this is a word that we use because we respect Allah Subhana Allah we hold in high esteem so
every time we mentioned his name, we say 100 in there or Subhana Allah all praises due to Allah
would glorify him so this is not a moon guy know something in the creation This is the one true
grade tour known or Little House in the middle of the desert. No that no so this is the one true
create one shoe created that we all worship we don't worship anyone else. This is the same God Jesus
peace be upon us pray to absolute. Let's take a break. You heard that here on the dean, shall we?
Right back. You have to pray as if everything depends on
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			what you must work.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			Everything depends on you.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:48
			That's my point. You see, I'm saying and I don't like that. I don't like us sitting here. What are
you waiting for? What are we waiting for right now? What are you waiting for all these people that
come to us? What are you waiting for? What are we waiting for right now, when they're gonna come?
They're gonna come along and bring these people lots of fun and water. Put in our hand the ability
to do it now do your job.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			I am not afraid.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:03
			I am not afraid to stand alone.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			I'm not afraid.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			I am not afraid to stand alone.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:59
			We're here with shake sight. And we're talking about good manners. It's easy to be a thug. It's easy
to be a gangster all you got to do is throw on some of the movies that they are here. And you know
what? You get influenced? You don't ask Tony Soprano, Scarface Goodfellas. And now you're talking
different you're acting different and you're being a clown. But that only leads away from gender,
doesn't it? Absolutely. It'd be only fair because the Quran the verbatim WORD OF GOD
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:13
			Cause the people to worship the Creator, not his creation over and over, it talks about the good and
glad tidings of paradise. But if a person is insistent, rebellious criminal, what is the antithesis,
the opposite of what's wait for that person?
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:21
			You know, I really don't want to go there. It's scary. It's very scary and very difficult place to
go and very
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:48
			I can't even imagine myself being there. Wow, may Allah subhana wa tada May Allah prevent May Allah
protect us from going there. But there's no comfort, no comfort, there's no happens is only tears
and screams and cries. And I don't want to be part of that party. I don't. And you know what's so
unique? Allah stated in the Quran on the day of judgment
		
00:10:49 --> 00:11:32
			that this unique speaker will come on will address the crowd. And this is shaytan. And he will take
the podium and He will say to the people in the law, indeed, a lot of promise you the true promise,
and I promise you the false promise, but you disobey your credit, and you obeyed me today, do not
blame me blame yourselves, the devil, this is the chief deceiver, he's going to be sad is the final
speech. Nobody's going to speak after that. And this is a place this is a lecture I don't want to
listen to. I don't this is one place that I don't want to be. And this is one gathering that I don't
want to be part of. I mean, naturally, if you compare Islam, which is simply the call to acquire
		
00:11:32 --> 00:12:03
			peace, by submitting your entire will yourself to the owner, appease the Creator of the heavens and
earth, and a Muslim is one who does the action. So now if you look at what Shakedown, the devil is
calling you to *, swearing, cursing, gambling, alcohol, drugs, and all these things, that
they don't bring peace and contentment, serenity to the heart, do they know they don't. And what is
so unique is, when as soon as you don't with one thing, you're another thing, you know, and this is
what the Messenger of Allah said, he said, Jen,
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:50
			you know, a lot created Jen and jahannam, *, and heavens. And then he said to you, we go and take
a look at them. And then he went to heaven. And he says, Oh Allah, no one ever hear of this, except
that he or she wants to be part of it was into paradise. And then I lost that gold back, I added
something to it. And then he went, and Allah Subhana Allah put all the difficulties and hardship and
you know, the struggle there around heaven. And then you will come back, he said, only the chosen
ones would make. Because when you go through difficulties, and you say, only today, let me pass
this, let me pass this test. And then you take one more step forward, and then you keep taking steps
		
00:12:50 --> 00:13:31
			forward until you fall into gentlemen on the counter in Johanna will help fire Allah subhanho wa
Taala Anna are the put a lot of desires around it, *, girls, you know, movies, you know,
drinking and all this. And he's just let me enjoy one more time. Let me just smoke this one more
time. Let me just have fun with her one more time. So one step towards janome. And before you know
it, you're part of it. So that's why it's very scary. And this things they do, you will never see
any of these guys saying that, you know, I'm enjoying myself. I'm enjoying this, I don't want to get
out of it. And that's why all these new Muslims are these people accept Islam, you know, Napoleon,
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:45
			you know, all these guys, they could have stayed there. You know, no one could have stayed there.
You know, this is what everyone wants to go. This is the direction that you know, everybody or every
young man thinks this is the ultimate happiness. But they running away from it.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:14:29
			Dave Chappelle he's running away from it. Because they know there is no peace there. There is no
happiness. And when you see what these people who experience and live that lifestyle, they will tell
you listen, we know what it's all about. Don't go there. Don't go We just came back from there. And
they found peace and happiness in this not in you know, drugs and drinking and girls and poverty and
music. None of that. And every time and anytime you grab one of these people in that business, and
you asked him, Are you happy? They will tell you I'm miserable. People seem to get confused like
good time fun, from happiness, this different pleasure is temporary and then it has a side effects
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:36
			doesn't absolutely so happiness is what we really want contentment, that's what we want. And this is
where you can get in this
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:53
			peace of mind. Happiness, you know, you come home, you know, some kind of law. Some people say
brother say in don't you lose sleep over all these things that's happening in media, you know,
people non Muslim or you know, those are trying to, you know, have Muslims you know,
		
00:14:54 --> 00:15:00
			and I say, you know, no, I don't worry about those things, because my heart is with Allah Subhan
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:24
			And as long this is what I have, I don't care. You know, the other night is a funny thing. My wife
said, you know, you sleep before before you head hits the pillow. I say No, I don't. She says, You
have no worries you you living this life? I said, you know, no, I don't sleep quick. And she said
our time, you know how long it took me? Two minutes and 58 seconds she timed? You
		
00:15:26 --> 00:16:08
			know, I said, Oh, in the morning, she said, Look what you did. I said, you know, there are a lot of
people out there would buy this with millions of dollars. A lot of people cannot sleep at night, a
lot of people will take you know, take medication and no pills, and haven't been in there. Why?
Because I said to myself, Allah is the one who controls heart. And it's my hearts with Allah,
nothing matters if the house on fire on the other side, and still sleep. Because Allah, Allah gave
me the insurance, a login with insurance that I will be protected. I don't have to worry about it.
So the youth now those who have went astray, and they're around the bad company, and they're living
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:39
			and emulating this life of gangsters and thugs. But now somehow a parent, a friend, they invited him
now to watch the deen show. And they're listening. And you know, the heart, the inside is yearning
for something, and but they're caught in this group. It's not cool to be a good person, but you get
praised for being obnoxious for swearing. How do we get them practical tips to get them away from
evil and more towards righteousness? Number one,
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:45
			listen to your heart. and examine your heart. Are you happy?
		
00:16:46 --> 00:17:10
			Is that a peace in your heart? Or you feel that? Wow, you know, I'm so comfortable in this life? I'm
so happy? The answer is no, we all we both know that. Second, don't be full of what you see. Because
tomorrow they will walk away from you come back to Allah and along will be on your site until you
die, even in your grave along with building your sights.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:48
			Third, you know, a slug in this circle, you will never improve you will never change and you will
never better be a better person. So what I encourage you to do is break out of this circle or this
cycle and move forward and be with Allah subhanaw taala now did all the messengers of God including
Noah, Abraham, Jesus, peace be upon him in the last and fundamental problem peace be upon? Did they
we talked about the Day of Judgment paradise Hellfire, worshipping the One God not his creed, that a
all call to this way what we're calling to and this righteousness, developing yourself to be the
best human being the judicial system message that Adam came with.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:18:40
			Then no, Abraham, you know, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, all of them oneness. And that is to worship one
unique God, one God, God. No one else. No father, no son, no data, no wife, no mother, no status, no
camels, no cows, none of that one unique God, do I have to put something in front of me and go
through this statue or go through, let's say a dead person in the ground. Pray through in the name
of Jesus, in the name of Muhammad don't have to do any of those salute. It was so beautiful. But
this is you can go and talk to your Lord directly. You don't need a third party. You need someone to
intimate intimacy for you. It's you and you're no one else. And this is the beautiful stuff. That
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:51
			person who's watching now everything makes sense. But he's right now I'm telling you late night they
catch an A d show this person right now he's smoking a joint is the real world. He's smoking a
joint. But he's like,
		
00:18:52 --> 00:19:03
			I need to change. Can he right now? Is there hope from if he leaves it? Could he be seated God? And
could he turn to God and ask God, what's the first step that he needs to do?
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			Allah is so merciful.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:48
			And Allah subhana wa Tada. It will welcome you any woman that you've come back at any moment,
regardless of whether you did if you killed someone, if you stole if you lied, if you use drugs, if
you commit all, Allah will forgive and forget all that. As a matter of fact, every bad thing that
you did, Allah will transfer that evil to into good deed. And when you come to Islam or when you
repent, everything that you did, will be transferred into good account and you have hassanal to work
with. You have good deeds to work with. So I would say get up in start new fresh life and move
forward to Allah subhana wa Tada. Great advice. We'll be right back for more here on the dean show.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:59
			There always be someone that will be there to say something negative, but at the same time there'll
be someone that to say something positive, just hold on to the rope of Allah.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			Everything in this universe rely a need
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:10
			for answers don't kill women don't kill children don't kill the old people don't attack the
civilians. This is what the prophet Mohammed told us
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:16
			that the prophets are solid never ever start a war against any.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			I am not afraid.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			I am not afraid.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:29
			I'm not afraid I'm
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			not afraid.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:21:16
			Back here on the deen show, and we're trying to encourage an invite to goodness and repel the evil.
And tell us Now, some people for the not yet Muslims. They feel that Islam is something that
encourages violence that encourages terrorism, that Islam is radical. What do you got to say about
this?
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:21
			I feel sorry for those people who were misinformed about Islam.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:35
			If they really read Islam, but Islam, they will find that none of these is true. As a matter of
fact, the messenger over LA, had neighbors who are not Muslim
		
00:21:36 --> 00:22:21
			messenger over LA, used to accept the invitation of non Muslim, never in his life that he said, I
don't want to come to you, because you're not Muslim. I don't want to deal with you. Because you're
not Muslim yet. I don't want to come to your house, because he's not for my faith. As a matter of
fact, he used to entertain every invitation that was ever given to him from a non Muslim. Not only
that, he used to take care of them, if they, if they sick, they would go and visit them. If they
need, he will take care of the need and so on. So these people who are writing about Islam,
sometimes I asked myself, what religion are they talking about? Because this isn't my religion,
		
00:22:21 --> 00:23:06
			whatever they're talking about, is not in Islam. So my my advice to anyone who's watching here is
listen, you're very intelligent person. Use your own mind. Go out there, read the Quran, read the
teachings of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Read what is sem is all about, and do not
funnel what these people try to say about Islam who do not know anything about us. So it's clear
we've done shows on this in the past, but we just want people to relax a little bit a Muslim might
have God is non Muslim friend. And now they heard Islam Muslim, they think Whoa, whoa, something's
going on here. They might be something blowing up. They might have bombs in the masjid, your mosque?
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:47
			That you're the Imam Do you invite you encourage people to come and to visit you there no matter
what faith to come and dialogue to talk with you to see what's going on? Absolutely. I invite
everyone, I invite them to my mosque, I invite them to this conference, I invite them to my house,
my neighbors and say this, what do you think about me? What do you think about us? You want to see
how we pray? Do you want to see what we do in the mosque? This is all yours is open doors is open
policy. If you see something, please, you know, then tell us. So every time they come and visit us
they say, Well, you know, I'm sure this is not a slum that I heard about. This is not what these
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:55
			groups said about this is another assembly talking about this completely different thing. So most of
the time they go out and they accept it.
		
00:23:56 --> 00:24:39
			Or they go out of the masjid with a positive image. So I'm asking the non Muslim, take that
opportunity, go to a mosque, go to Sonic events, go to Muslims, and you know, examine the situation
you asked a question you talk to them, and then you will see a completely different image of Islam
in the last few moments that we have. Back to the youth now, what closing comments and advice do you
have for those youth that are struggling with all the different trials that are out there but they
want to not succumb to that they want to come to the right way, but they just need a little extra
push. There's only one way only one way and that is a last panel but nothing will save you with this
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:59
			miserable life that you're living. Nothing will save you with this. You know difficult thing time
that you go through. No one can save you but Allah subhanho wa Taala so turn and turn to Allah
subhana wa tada and don't worry about anything else and the law is there for you. Thank you may God
Almighty the Creator of the heavens and earth Allah reward you again for being with us.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:43
			And thank you for tuning in again to another episode of the deen show where we're trying to invite
everything that's good. And you got the advice from the man from the shake that turned to who turned
to the one create tour the same God that Jesus peace be upon him turn to the same God that Moses,
Abraham and the last and final messenger sent to mankind turn to beseech his help, he created this
whole universe and everything in it. And what can he do? If he did all that? Definitely, he can help
you. It's that simple. Is that easy, but you gotta want it. You gotta want to change. You gotta want
his help, beseech Him, He will definitely help you and come back here every week to the deen show.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:47
			We'll see you next time. Until then peace be unto you as salaam alaikum.
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:56
			He created the universe
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:00
			to belong the heavens and the earth.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:03
			He is the
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:12
			He's the owner. He sent His messenger
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:15
			this creature
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			on the grave danger.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			worship.
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			There is none greater.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:05
			Everything.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:26
			That's my point. You see what I'm saying? And I don't like that. I don't like us sitting here. What
are you waiting for? What are you waiting for right now? What are you waiting for all these people
to come to Islam? What are you waiting for? What are we waiting for right now? When they're gonna
come? They're gonna come along and bring these people lots of fun and water. Put in our hand the
ability to do your job.
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36
			I am not afraid.
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			I am not afraid.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44
			Not afraid.
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:48
			I'm not afraid.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:52
			I'm not afraid.
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			I'm not afraid.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:01
			I'm not afraid.
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:50
			We're here with shake sight. And we're talking about good manners. It's easy to be a thug. It's easy
to be a gangster. All you got to do is throw on some of the movies that are out here. And you know
what? You get influence. You don't want Tony Soprano, Scarface Goodfellas. And now you're talking
different you're acting different. And you're being a clown. But that only leads away from gender,
doesn't it? Absolutely. It'd be only fair because the Quran the verbatim Word of God. It calls the
people to worship the Creator, not his creation over and over. It talks about the good and glad
tidings of paradise. But if a person is insistent, rebellious criminal, what is the antithesis, the
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:51
			opposite of what's waiting for that person?
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:59
			You know, I really don't want to go there. It's scary. It's very scary and very difficult place to
go and very
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:26
			I can't even imagine myself being there. Wow. May Allah subhana wa Tada. May Allah prevent a May
Allah protect us from going there. But there's no comfort, no comfort, there's no happens is only
hears and screams and cries. And I don't want to be part of that party. I don't. And you know what's
so unique? Allah stated in the Quran on the day of judgment
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:59
			that this unique speaker will come on will address the crowd. And this is Satan. And he will take
the podium and He will say to the people in the law, indeed a lot of promise you the true promise,
and I promise you the false promise, but you disobey your Creator and you obeyed me today do not
blame me. Blame yourselves the devil. This is the chief deceiver. He's going to be sad is the final
speech. Nobody's going to speak after that. And this is a place this is a lecture. I don't want to
leave
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:38
			I don't this is one place that I don't want to be. And this is one gathering that I don't want to be
part of. I mean, naturally, if you compare Islam, which is simply the call to acquire peace by
submitting your entire will yourself to the owner peace, the Creator of the heavens and earth, and a
Muslim is one who does the action. So now if you look at what Shakedown The devil is calling you to
*, swearing, cursing, gambling, alcohol, drugs, and all these things, that they don't
bring peace and contentment, serenity to heart, do they? No, they don't. And what is so unique is,
when as soon as you don't with one thing, you're another thing, you know, and this is what the
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:42
			Messenger of Allah said. He said, john,
		
00:30:43 --> 00:31:27
			you know, he could lock who hated john and jahannam, *, and heavens. And then he said to Jimmy,
go and take a look at them. And then he went to heaven. And he says, oh, Allah, no to ever hear of
this, except that he or she wants to be part of it was into paradise. And then I lost that gold bag,
I added something to it. And then he went, and Allah Subhana Allah put all the difficulties and
hardships and you know, the struggle there around heaven. And then you will come back, he said, only
the chosen ones would make. Because when you go through difficulties, and you say, only today, let
me pass this, let me pass this test. And then you take one more step forward, and then you keep
		
00:31:27 --> 00:32:09
			taking steps forward until you fall into Jenna on the counter in Johanna, help fire, Allah subhanho
wa Taala Anna are the put a lot of desires around it, *, girls, you know, movies, you
know, drinking and all this. And he's just let me enjoy one more time. Let me just smoke this one
more time. Let me just have fun with her one more time. So one step towards janam. And before you
know it, you're part of it. So that's why it's very scary. And this things that they do, you will
never see any of these guys saying that, you know, I'm enjoying myself, I'm enjoying this, I don't
want to get out of it. And that's why all these new Muslims, all these people accept Islam. You
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:23
			know, Napoleon, you know, all these guys. They could have stayed there. You know, Lord couldn't stay
there. You know it. This is what everyone wants to go. This is the direction that you know,
everybody or every young man things. This is the ultimate happiness. But they running away from it.
		
00:32:24 --> 00:33:08
			Dave Chappelle, he's running away from it. Because they know there is no peace there. There is no
happiness. And when you see what these people who experience and live that lifestyle, they will tell
you listen, we know what it's all about. Don't go there. Don't go We just came back from there. And
they found peace and happiness in is not in, you know, drugs and drinking and girls and poverty and
music, none of that. And every time and anytime you grab one of these people in that business, and
he asked him, Are you happy? They will tell you I'm miserable. People seem to get confused, like
good time fun, from happiness is different. Pleasure is temporary, and then it has side effects,
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:15
			doesn't it? Absolutely. So So happiness is what we really want contentment, that's what we want. And
this is where you can get in this
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:32
			peace of mind. Happiness, you know, you come home, you know, some kind of law. Some people say,
brother say, in don't you lose sleep over all these things that's happening in media, you know,
people and and Muslim or, you know, those are trying to, you know, harm Muslims, you know?
		
00:33:33 --> 00:34:14
			And I say, you know, no, I don't worry about those things. Because my heart is with Allah subhanho
wa Taala. And as long this is what I have, I don't care. You know, the other night is a funny thing.
My wife said, you know, you sleep before before you head hits the pillow. I say No, I don't. She
says, You have no worries you you living this life. I said, you know, now why don't you sleep quick.
And she said our time you know how long it took me? Two minutes and 58 seconds. She told me she
tried. Now I said oh in the morning, she said Look what you did, too. I said you know, there are a
lot of people out there would buy this with millions of dollars. A lot of people cannot sleep at
		
00:34:14 --> 00:35:00
			night. A lot of people will take you know take medication and no pills and hamdulillah Why? Because
I said to myself, Allah is the one who controls heart. And it's my hearts with Allah. Nothing
matters. If the house on fire on the other side, and still sleep because Allah, Allah gave me the
insurance, a login with insurance that I will be protected. I don't have to worry about it. So the
youth now those who have went astray, and they're around the bad company, and they're living and
emulating this life of gangsters and thugs, but now somehow apparent, a friend. They invited him now
to watch the deen show. And they're listening and you know, the heart
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:18
			The inside is yearning for something, and but they're caught in this group. It's not cool to be a
good person, but you get praised for being obnoxious for swearing. How do we get them practical tips
to get them away from evil and more towards righteousness? Number one,
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:23
			listen to your heart and examine your heart. Are you happy?
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:48
			Is there a peace in your heart? Or you feel that, wow, you know, I'm so comfortable in this life,
I'm so happy. The answer is no, we all we both know that. Second, don't be full of what you see.
Because tomorrow they will walk away from you come back to Allah and along would be on your side
until you die. And even your great along would be on your side.
		
00:35:50 --> 00:36:26
			Third, you know, as long as in this circle, you will never improve, you will never change and you
will never get to be a better person. So what I encourage you to do is break out of this circle or
this cycle and move forward and be with Allah subhanaw taala now did all the messengers of God
including Noah, Abraham, Jesus, peace be upon them in the last in front of Mr. Humphries before? Did
they we talked about the Day of Judgment, paradise Hellfire, worshipping the One God not his creed,
that at all call to this way, what we're calling to and this righteousness, developing yourself to
be the best human being that you This is the message that Adam came with.
		
00:36:27 --> 00:37:18
			Then no, Abraham, you know, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, all of them oneness. And that is to worship one
unique God, one God, God, no one else. No father, no son, no daughter, no wife, no mother, no,
establish no camels and or cows, none of that one unique God, do I have to put something in front of
me and go through this statue, or go through, let's say a dead person in the ground, pray through in
the name of Jesus, in the name of Muhammad don't have to do any of us. It was so beautiful. But this
is you can go and talk to your Lord direct. You don't need a third party. You need someone to
intimate intimacy for you. It's you and your Lord. No one else. And this is the beautiful stuff.
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:29
			That person who's watching now everything makes sense. But he's right now I'm telling you late night
they catch an additional this person right now he's smoking a joint just the real world. He's
smoking a joint. But he's like,
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:42
			I need to change. Can he right now? Is there hope from if he leaves it? Could he be seated God? And
could he turn to God and ask God, what's the first step that he needs to do?
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:44
			Allah is so merciful.
		
00:37:45 --> 00:38:26
			And Allah subhana wa donec it will work from you, any woman that you've come back any moment,
regardless of whether you did if you killed someone, if you stole if you lied, if you use drugs, if
you commit all, Allah will forgive and forget all that. As a matter of fact, every bad thing that
you did, Allah will transfer that evil to into good deed. And when you come to Islam or when you
repent, everything that you did, will be transferred into your good account and you have hassanal to
work with. You have good deeds to work with. So I would say get up, you know, start a new fresh life
and move forward to Allah subhanho wa Taala. Great advice. We'll be right back for more here on the
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:27
			deen show.
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:48
			There always be someone that will be there to say something negative, but at the same time there'll
be someone there to say something positive. Just hold on to the woman. Everything in this universe
rely a need for answers don't kill women don't kill children don't kill old people don't attack the
civilians. This is what the prophet Mohammed
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:54
			Allah said that the prophets are solid never ever start a war against any.
		
00:38:58 --> 00:38:59
			I am not afraid.
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:03
			I am not afraid.
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:54
			Back here on the deen show, and we're trying to encourage an invite to goodness and repel the evil.
And tell us now some people for the not yet Muslims. They feel that Islam is something that
encourages violence that encourages terrorism, that Islam is radical. What do you got to say about
this?
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:59
			I feel sorry for those people who were misinformed about Islam.
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:14
			If they really read Islam, but Islam, they will find that none of these is true. As a matter of
fact, the Messenger of Allah had neighbors who are not Muslim
		
00:40:15 --> 00:41:01
			messenger over LA, used to accept the invitation of non must never in his life that he said, I don't
want to come to you, because you must, I don't want to deal with you, because you're not Muslim yet.
I don't want to come to your house, because he's not from my faith. As a matter of fact, he used to
entertain every invitation was ever given to him from a non Muslim. Not only that, he used to take
care of them, if they, if they sick, he would go and visit them. If they need, he will take care of
the need, and so on. So these people who are writing about Islam, sometimes I asked myself, what
religion are they talking about? Because this isn't my religion, whatever they talking about, is not
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:47
			in Islam. So my my advice to anyone who's watching here is this. You're very intelligent person. Use
your own mind. Go out there, read the Quran, read the teachings of the Prophet salallahu alayhi
wasallam. Read what Islam is all about. And do not follow what these people try to say about Islam,
who do not know anything about us. So it's clear, we've done shows on this in the past, but we just
want people to relax a little bit. A Muslim might have got his non Muslim friend, and now they heard
Islam and Muslim they think Whoa, whoa, something's going on here. They might be something blowing
up. They might have bombs in the masjid, your mosque, that you're the Imam Do you invite you
		
00:41:47 --> 00:42:28
			encourage people to come and to visit you there no matter what faith to come and dialogue to talk
with you to see what's going on? Absolutely. I invite everyone, I invite them to my mosque, I invite
them to this conference, I invite them to my house, my neighbors, and I say this, what do you think
about me? What do you think about us? You want to see how we pray? Do us want to see what we do in
the mosque? This is all yours is open doors in his open policy? If you see something, please, you
know, tell us so every time they come and visit us they say, Well, you know, I'm sure. This is not
the Islam that I heard about. This is not what these groups said about this. And that is somebody
		
00:42:28 --> 00:43:08
			talking about this completely different thing. So most of the time they go out, and they accept this
or they go out of the masjid with a positive image. So I'm asking them Muslim, take that
opportunity, go to a mosque, go to a sonic event, go to Muslims, and you know, examine the situation
you asked a question, you talk to them, and then you will see completely different image of Islam in
the last few moments that we have. Back to the youth now, what closing comments and advice do you
have for those youth that are struggling with all the different trials that are out there but they
want to not succumb to that they want to come to the right way, but they just need a little extra
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:51
			push. There's only one way only one way and that is Allah subhana wa Tada. Nothing will save you
with this miserable life that you're living. Nothing will save you with this. You know, difficult
thing time that you go through. No one can save you but Allah subhanho wa Taala so turn and turn to
Allah subhanho wa Taala and don't worry about anything else. And Allah is there for you. Thank you
may God Almighty, the Creator of the heavens and earth, Allah rewards you again for being with us.
And thank you for tuning in again to another episode of the deen show where we're trying to invite
everything that's good. And you got the advice from the man from the shake that turned to who turned
		
00:43:51 --> 00:44:26
			to the one create tour the same God that Jesus peace be upon him turn to the same God that Moses
Abraham and the last and final messenger sent to mankind turn to beseech his help. He created this
whole universe and everything in it. And what can he do? If he did all that? Definitely, he can help
you. It's that simple. Is that easy, but you gotta want it. You gotta want to change you got to want
his help, beseech him. He will definitely help you and come back here every week to the deen show.
We'll see you next time. Until then peace be unto you. Salaam Alaikum.
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:34
			He created the universe.
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:37
			To Him alone the heavens.
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:42
			He is the
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:50
			He's the owner. He sent His messenger
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:54
			his creature
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:58
			on the grave danger.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:01
			Hello worship
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:08
			there is none greater
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:23
			nothing great
