			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salaam Alaikum peace be unto you. Thank you for coming back to another
episode of the deen show every week we're here. Wednesdays, midnight. If you're up, tuned into the
deen show can TV 36 if you can't make it midnight, Wednesday's the next day two to three Thursdays
so that's if you're in Chicago, otherwise all over the globe. People are tuning in at the deen show
calm. That's where you can see our shows. Today we're going to be talking about boys girls, men,
women. Marriage hot topic with my next guest, Baba Ali here on The Daily Show. Don't go nowhere.
		

			There's only one. Jesus was his messenger.
		

			Why did that maybe? Maybe it's just a break the ice Assalamualaikum welcome, Sam to the peace pmtu.
Brother.
		

			How are you? Good. How are you? You're back again? Yes, I'm back again. Just like I just saw you. It
just feels like a few minutes ago. All right. Man, we're here. I'm excited that you're here. We're
going to be talking about people can go to the deen show.com. And we got to talk about how you
actually came to this beautiful way of life, the way of life of all the messengers that submission
to certain to God alone and not his creation. But in this show, we're going to be talking about
something that is on the minds of the people, you got this yearning, you got this feeling you want
to be with the opposite gender. man wants to be with woman woman wants to be with men, I mean, now,
		

			and they end up doing things that aren't according to how the creator wants him to do it. Now you
have some experience. I mean, we live in America, and some things just become normal. You know, I'm
going to see Sally and Betty and we're just dating and then, you know, we test drive, and we have a
good time. And then people get heartbroken. You know? So let's, let's, let's just flow with this.
Tell us you know, what is your experience and with this whole, you know, and it's become something
that's prevalent now amongst the Muslims? Yeah, unfortunately, these days, you see a lot of Muslims
there.
		

			The parents have made marriage very difficult for them, actually, isn't it parents, I would say the
culture that the parents have implemented on them.
		

			Actually, if you look at Islam, Islamic marriage, very easy. It's a very easy process and very easy
to go through it.
		

			Unfortunately, ourselves culture, many of the people from the Middle East have this culture that
they implemented, and forced upon their children that have nothing to do with this song. Actually,
most of them have conflicts with Islam that made
		

			marriage very difficult for the young people. So now they're resorting to dating and resorting to
doing all these type of prohibited acts under right under the noses of parents. And every parent is
like know what my son my daughter, they're not doing it. Yeah. But they're usually the last people
to find out it's someone's son and daughter and most likely it may be yours.
		

			So this thing is I mean with with when you live in Islam is very simple. You need the Guardian, your
father or someone there to say okay, because they want to see who this guy is. Yeah, obviously. Some
bum coming in the house and he's maybe a crook. Maybe this that the man kind of sniff it out, right?
Yeah.
		

			Yeah.
		

			guys can tell what the other guys are trying to con my sister. Trick my sister. You know, this is
natural. No matter what religion you are, you know, the father. He's very protective of his
daughter. You know, I don't want some guy in this. I'm holding this diamond in my hand for the last
18 to 20 years of her life. And now you're not gonna door just want you to diamond on my hat. I've
been protecting this thing. I'm actually gonna hand it over to you, buddy. Yeah. What's up? Who are
you? What's your story? Are you trying trigger? You can try
		

			to get emotional, cray cray and say, Oh, you know, I must see who you are as a person. And sometimes
guys can see stuff that other guys.
		

			The other girls can mean I see. Yeah. And then two witnesses, two witnesses. So they can say there's
evidence of saying Okay, these two people. They did say it that this person wants this person. This
person wants this person. And then let's have a party. This is our party. Yeah. Hello, party. That's
it. It's done. That's the only 50,000
		

			it's just an easy marriage. But these days, parents make these difficult conditions, these obstacles
these these loops, you have to jump through just to get married. You have parents say okay, I want a
$50,000 wedding $50,000 a house instead of areas. Yeah. I mean, with the rate that people are
getting divorce. You can
		

			Get married now and you're still paying for a divorce and you still paying for your marriage. You
know, it's unfortunate it is a lot of this has to do with show like to show to just to be the to
keep up with the Joneses to be better than the next person and say, Okay, look, our wedding was
50,000 or whether it was 100,000. Our wedding was, it's amazing. And these kids, a Muslim, you ask
the kids, they don't they don't even want it. They want something easy and simple. They just want to
be with the person that they found for the rest of their life. Not to come back with the little debt
letter. It says, oh, you're in debt for next 10 years of your life paying us $20,000 for that one.
		

			Just that one night for hours. Yeah. Doesn't make sense. But Islam makes it easy, but the people
make it hard. make it difficult. Tell us now what I mean, what advice can we give to the youth out
there? Also, I mean, some parents are making it difficult, but you know, to be real, some parents
aren't. Some parents really are doing things right. But the youth some of them are just caught up in
society and you know, going to the nightclubs you know, the guy's got a woman and he's like, come
into Islam but still he can't let go this girl from the past you came in and your story that you
talk and you came full force you left Yes, this girlfriend you had before because you love the
		

			creator and you wanted to do what he wanted you to do. You didn't want to I want to Sir, I want you
to do things the right way. Yeah, there's different ways of doing things is there's a wrong way in
the right way you want to make business do it but doing away without cheating people. You want to be
with the girl do it. But accept that responsibility says Look, I will take care of you for now on I
will feed you provide for your clothes you take care take care of your emotional news. Your your
physical needs every needs of Gee, I'm here to I'm here for you. Not here. I'm here to spend one
night with you. And the next day with next person the next day with one person, this girl is
		

			pregnant. And next thing you know your baby mama has left and right. Yeah, that's not that's not
that's a broken society. And this society has many, many broken pieces to it. And a lot of it has to
do with marriage before *, marriage before * before marriage. So getting myself all confused.
But yeah, it's it's it's sad. And this la Muslim thing, okay, my daughter, she went to Islamic
school, she wears a job and stuff is happening. She doesn't desire boys. She desires boys after her
PhD. No, that's not reality. Reality is at a certain age, men desire women and women desire men. And
our Creator made us and put our instincts inside of us. And knows and gives a prescription just like
		

			the doctor gives a prescription and says this is the way to do it. And this is what will give you
success. And you go the other way, it will give you failure. We're here just giving some real
advice. I mean, we're not two shakes, we don't have, you know, just normal people, we, you know,
experienced a lot of things live in the society. So we can keep it real. We can give some real
advice brother came up to me, and I want to see what advice would you give this brother? He's
committed to trying to change himself? Yeah, he's going after the knowledge that's going to help to
change him. But he says, You know what, I just can't give this up. I can't give up dating these
		

			women. It's hard. What advice would you give a young man strong. And this is a hard time he's having
what are some of the steps now that you think that you know, from your personal experiences, the
advice that you can give this brother, you know, the whole desire thing is, it's very difficult.
Anyone who's gonna sit here say, you know what, just give this up and give this up. That is easier
said than done. They're either not being real, or they haven't been through it. I as a person can
tell you straight up is very difficult. your desires, your heart, it's pulling you to go after
something. But if you're connected to the Hereafter, and you, you want that paradise more than you
		

			want that girl, you reminded this, life will come and this is just life is like a dream. And all
these things are like trials and tests for you. And if you have that in the back of your head, that
helps you become stronger. Number two is put your who your Who are your companions. If you're
hanging out with a bunch of guys who have a bunch of girlfriends and you're sitting there as the
third wheel, of course, you'd be pushed into this. Yeah, but hang out with people who follow the
same type of thing and you're gonna keep you strong. You other activities until you have enough
money and resources until you can get married. I play basketball with my friends, I go do all kinds
		

			of stuff. We keep ourselves busy, until we're all prepared enough to have enough finances to get
married. You know, all all these things make up our factors. All these things are variables. You put
yourself in a situation know what, I'm not gonna be a good person. I wasn't going to club I'm just
gonna watch.
		

			watching these baby steps, you know, shaytaan will pull you step by step. He doesn't scream. he
whispers You know what, just go spend time with her. You just talked to her about Islam.
		

			Now that you're talking to about this love, spend a little more time with her. You know, she's
lonely.
		

			Just go spend some time with her. Oh, you know what? She's so much closer. Maybe she's hot.
Hopefully take off her clothes.
		

			What's going on here? And then yeah, it's crazy man is he? He's very smart. He's got he's been there
since day one. Yeah. So he's got a lot of practice a lot of practice. So you're tricking yourself,
you're thinking, Okay, maybe she's there. Maybe she's in that club, maybe I can change her. Yes, I'm
going to the club nuts. So I can dance, and Boogie. I am there. So I can teach people a song.
		

			I don't want to preach, I will just wait there until someone asked me what
		

			is it this confusion, and it really, really think to yourself who you fooling, you're only fooling
yourself, really only fooling yourself. And unfortunately, we all fall into this, this just
struggle. And you really, it's tough. It's really tough, especially in this society, where you have
temptation everywhere, from billboards, to television, to everything is everywhere around us. And
it's tough. But then again, paradise isn't cheap. You can't buy yourself in, you can't you can't
walk with a PhD or say, Oh, I'm from this family of that family, you have to earn it. And you earn
that by going through the struggles. And by passing those struggles, and this itself, this, this
		

			marriage, and this desire thing is a struggle that we go in as our youth is tough, all of us have to
go through it. So you're not alone. We love our brothers, we love our sisters, we just want to give
them sincere advice. We talked about the brothers now you got our sisters out there, some of them
are falling in the trap, you know, falling, finding themselves, you know, being alone with a guy and
trying to, you know, because men they admire, they lost and they look and woman, you know, showed up
to here, then up to here, and then following the latest fashions and getting caught into just being
more of a object, and then getting used and abused and maybe falling for some of the naive tricks
		

			that that guy who's after her, you know, yeah, have you come across this also, men are very smart.
So for the women that are watching, no matter what religion are back on your phone, women, you are
the ones who have figured this out by now. But the men will tell you exactly what you want to hear.
They have this lust, they have this desire, that there's hunger for, it's a hunger. And when you're
hungry, and you're, and you need to be fed, you're going to say what you do say what you need to
say. So you can get what you need to get. And you don't care whose heartbreak. You don't say, oh,
how are minister mean? They're they're hungry. They're going for this desire. And when you have no
		

			guidance, and you have no fear of your Creator, you can say whatever you want to say. But he loves
me. But he loves me. Yeah, right. He doesn't love you love something else. So this is a train. I'm a
guy, I'm gonna tell you straight up. But oh, no, he's different. How many girls have said that? Ask
yourself, no, I love this, like no love ever in the world. And we're gonna love each other forever
and ever and ever, until we end up in divorce court two years from now. So it's funny, all these
people say, Oh, lovely www how much look at the divorce rate around the world. It's over 50%. And
that's the people who decide to stay to get divorce, there's some people that are connected, and
		

			they can't get divorced, and they're married and miserable, they're stuck because the kids just
stuck because of family issues just stuck because of whatever those were, those those stats are
gonna come there. And as people who don't even live with each other, you know, they just decide
okay, we'll just be separated. I'm gonna stay together because of tax reasons.
		

			And it's unfortunate relationship. It does not have the the universal bond and that's connected with
our values with the right thing and you know how to treat her and she knows how to treat you. And
this is what Islam teaches us by the way, how to treat a woman. Now what you see on TV now does
mumbo jumbo, they try to teach on television, but really, the way a Muslim should treat his wife and
his wife should treat her husband is it's it's amazing. If you really look into it, it's it's
beautiful. Like your woman, all her desires must be taken care of, for Islamic in a relationship
man, for her physical needs, her emotional needs, or even her sexual needs has to be all taken care
		

			of by the husband. On top of that, if she's helping around the house, you try to help her. You get
rewarded for that. You know, these are encouragement. you're encouraged to do and and Islam teaches
us the best of you is whose best to his wife. This tale teaches a man to like go even beyond that
compete with other men to be better for your wife. So she look if we are if we are a society built
on this, how much of an impact to make and to treat her with honor islamically if you die defending
her honor, is Titus Shaheed that needs to get paradise for honor so much protected. Now we have all
this crazy stuff man just go around beating their wives and all those domestic monsters crazy stuff
		

			over what over is this is crazy, is crazy how when you go towards culture, what it gives you when
you go towards a song what it gives you and unfortunately we have too many people towards culture
and not enough people towards Islam. That's what we need. We need to learn this way of life and we
need to live it, live it period.
		

			And the way it has been prescribed not according to our desires or any customs or cultures. It's
very simple now, what encouragement I mean, some of the benefits from leaving off following your
lesson desires and going off and living a life of just, you know, from one guy girl to the next,
where you come and do something that's sacred, and you come together, even at the end. I mean, if it
comes to divorce, it's not the end of the world. But what encouragement Can we give them that you
know what, this is a healthier way of life to live? You know, even a divorce issue just brought up
right now. Islam allows it, yeah, but this is the worst
		

			allowed thing that you can do, it makes according to Islamic stuff thrown about loss upon Allah
shake.
		

			It's the one that he the least the less, he knows that this is something that can possibly happen,
but it's the last resort. Unfortunately, for many Muslims today is the first resort. You know, they
jump straight to tala which means divorce, go straight to it. And as soon as you find the smallest
thing wrong, and that is the guys go girls as well. I think this is because we just jump into the
hole. Oh, Hollywood. Oh, you know, Prince Charming is gonna come and riding his little horse. And
he's gonna say, Oh, you do this perfectly. My husband, he's gonna be just like Brad Pitt. And he's
gonna say the right words at the right time. and blah, blah, blah. Yeah. And then you come home,
		

			realize his socks are on the couch. I scratch myself. He was way second, besides a husband I was
looking for in Hollywood. And then he says first The main thing. He said to me, boom, I want a
divorce. And then next thing, okay, I want a divorce too. Now everyone is single and divorced. And
like, what happened?
		

			What makes it work? I mean, because I think that's what it is. You get caught up watching too many
movies. You're not supposed to be watching, first of all, with all with all this junk out there. And
you start living this fantasy. Yeah. And you think that this is what marriage is? is some fantasy
fulfilled? Yeah. What do you think about this? It's it is unfortunately, this is movies, they do
this. So you can buy their movies, you can watch their movies, they do this so they can fool you. To
think this is real life when reality is not real life whatsoever. marriage life is completely
different. No one prepares you what to expect from marriage. I wish they did. But they don't really
		

			prepare you. Let me tell you from the very beginning, you know, it's just from doing the D show,
I'll tell you straight up on the unit here. The D show first. Marriage is hard. I'm married. I've
been married for eight years. It's not easy. It's a struggle. It's not is just easy, difficult for
me, sometimes difficult for my wife, sometimes. Because men and women are very different. We think
differently, we act differently. Our brains, our chemicals, our mind is all completely different. He
put two completely different people together, and they're trying to communicate doesn't always
necessarily work out. And you learned, you learned to be patient. That's one of the first things you
		

			learn in marriage, patients, you learn to work with another, you learn to compromise, sometimes
don't do stuff she likes, sometimes she's gonna do stuff I like, all these things, you you
sacrifice, but you do it for the sake of your Creator and say, Look, I'm gonna do it, you know, I'm
arguing with her. But I'm going and I know she did something that was very hurtful for me, but I
will forgive her. Or he she may say, I may forgive him. And the reason you forgive with the hope
that because in Islam, if you forgive someone, you do it with the hope that Allah will forgive you
for something that you did, because we're all human beings, we all make mistakes, we all make
		

			errors, we have all so much of our accountable for the day judgment. So you do that with the hope
that Allah will forgive something of yours, on the day judgment, make your life easier in the
hereafter. And when you have this type of mentality and this type of mindset, your marriage, and
this tranquility, it can be in your marriage. So on one hand here, by coming together to do the
right thing, man and woman getting married, living life, according to how your creative wants you
live all about rewards. That's exactly. I mean, you're gonna have your tests and trials. Yes, it's
not all sugar and roses and sweets. But you get through it, and you get rewarded. You even get
		

			rewarded for having intimate relations. But yes, we do that, again, you do it correctly. Yeah, if
you do the everything correctly, you get rewarded for it, you get reward for kissing your life or
sleeping with your wife and she gets a reward for it as well. You know, you're staying away from the
bad things. He's trying to stay towards the good things, you're doing things islamically the way the
creator wanted you to do things. And by doing things correctly, you get reward for it. Of course,
you go towards the wrong direction, you get punished for it. Yeah. So again, by all it comes back
down to accountability. Every action we do, we're gonna be accountable for everything that we say,
		

			even if even this D show is being written for us to be accountable for and this is why it's so
important for us to do things the right way. That's the other side. Now we talked about all the
rewards here like you said, Now, you get punished for it. You don't want to I mean, Allah, the
Creator of the heavens is the Most Merciful you stop you repent. He forgives all sins. Yes, except
that you die associating partners with him as something doesn't forgive. So
		

			Hopefully Allah guides us all to do the right thing now, over here, you're playing games is a game,
isn't it a game? You're going around in circles? You know, chasing this person, that person? I mean,
you never satisfied No, you're never satisfied. And you risk What if you die on that and you get
resurrected? In that state? That's a horrible state to get caught. Even if you survive in this life.
What if you end up with so many people so many diseases? diseases?
		

			illegitimate children? Yeah. What about that child now? Huh? Yeah, you have a child that you're
raising, and then she's gonna go around sleeping with more men. Who knows she may have kids
different different different guys. Oh, what magic imagine what kind of lifestyle this poor child
has to be raised in. It's tough. I mean, we live a society, the entire world or for our Muslim
Ummah, we have oma, which is a whole, all the people and his alma is made of, of countries. And
these countries are made up of cities and the season, we have communities, and these local
communities are made out of just families, and the basic foundation of a family as a husband and
		

			wife. When you break that basic foundation of a husband and wife, and you have all these divorced
people with little kids, and they can't get married, and you make these young guys, they can't get
married, because the parents are making too hard. What kind of society you're gonna have?
		

			You have these people that just frustrated for one reason or the other. Okay, how can you focus on
school, focus on work and focus on this, naturally, men and women are supposed to be together? Yeah.
And you got to get out and do it, she's not going to come out, or he's not going to just come out,
you got to get out there. If you wait for Prince Charming knock on the door, there's no Prince
Charming knock on the door, it doesn't happen. You have to go out there and look for the right
person. And the guy who's looking for the right girl, and look for someone based on their character,
not based on their culture. Now based on their money, now based on stuff, not based on stuff, they
		

			had no choice of which family, they're gonna look for something of their character, the way they
look at their Creator, the way they look at their values. And, and hopefully inshallah she carries
the same values you do. And that will keep that person will keep you in check when you go the wrong
way. And you keep her in check when you go the wrong way. You know, I mean, these, these are the
things that can make possibly a good recipe for a good marriage. Now, how can we get brothers like
our brother, Ron and his brother Mohammed and his brother, so and so Chris, and all the other
brothers, Greg, and I just, there's so many of siete, and they're all trying to get married?
		

			Do we help them I mean, we got to give some kind of solution. Now, I mean, something where they can
go somewhere where it was the number one best way to do it. If you can go through family, you go
through family, but if you can't go through family, because family is the best way they can they
know someone that knows someone, it's always better. It's easier. If you don't know that there might
be social gatherings. If you're like myself, we're come to it from a family that doesn't actually
practice any type of religion. And you need to find someone and you look around and like, nothing
around me is working. I try going on the internet, and I try to make check out the matchmaking
		

			websites out there. They weren't good. They list people like their use cars. Yeah, this is the
height, this is the weight, this is the exposure, this is the blood type. And honestly, you don't go
to be able to Hey, how much you weigh.
		

			You can do a big job of it. But in real life, you ask people questions when you want to learn about
them. And so I made up a website called half our Dean COMM And that's basically a website for trying
to help people guys and girls to get married. And I asked questions about what you're looking for in
a spouse? And, and what would and what is that? What are you like?
		

			And I asked all these questions regarding family regarding Dean regarding all the different parts of
your life. And, and then and then when you look at someone's profile and tell you your 75% match on
religious religious beliefs 24% match on personality 10% match on character, you learn a lot more
about your compatibility, because not every single girl is gonna match with what I'm looking for in
a wife. And I'm not gonna match for a lot of girls, what they're looking for in a husband. Some
people may look for a shy guy, some guys are looking for a guy who's very assertive, and some people
are looking for a guy who's very ambitious, different people are looking for different things. So
		

			and we're all different, your taste is very different. It's kind of like you go to a garden. There's
all these different types of flowers and they'll have these different sense. You may like roses, I
may like some other type of flower doesn't make one better than the other. We're just trying to find
half our Deen the whole website's about trying to find you. And that one person that's gonna match
with you. Now how to someone I say want to send my daughter there. I can't find her know what how do
I know how do I feel secure that she's not gonna be taken advantage of because there's a lot of
people out there who aren't serious. They might be just trying to sneak through the cracks. There's
		

			a couple of things I try to do and nothing is guaranteed. No matter what website or even in person.
You always want to try and do research and try find out more and more about the person. This
websites here to try to filter out all these people. It's kind of taking the linear searching for
gold
		

			have also jerked around, you're shaking it until you have a couple of pieces of pebbles left. And I
need to go into detail as to how good quality of gold This is. So that's the websites doing what
we're doing to try and filter all these different people. So the questions we ask will tell you a
percentage of how you guys match on different things. But on top of that, we let each person has 21
questions that's important to you. Like, right now we're in Chicago, one of the questions you may
ask is, are you willing to move to Chicago? If the person says no, then why are you talking to the
person? If you guys, if that's the only place you're going to live? Yeah. Or you say, what are your
		

			What is your idea about this? Or what is your idea about that? You can ask these questions before
they even meet the person. And they can answer these questions before you actually officially talk.
And you can you can go ask her answer her questions, she can ask your questions, you learn a little
more about each other. Yeah, after all of this, and you go through all these different profiles, and
you say, you know what, this is a person I think, maybe a possible match, then you can contact them,
maybe speak to the parents, ask for permission, you know, and maybe they can talk to your parents,
maybe you guys can talk, talk to some of the friends that they know, find out which community
		

			they're involved in, you know, it's resort, you don't just go find some off the internet, say, hey,
guess what, let's get married. Gotta keep the family involved. Exactly. Try get involved, and you
never know who's on the internet. And that's why it's important. But I found my wife halfway around
the world, and I couldn't find one in my local community. And if it wasn't for the internet, there's
no way I would have found her. Yeah, you just got to be careful. Always ask a law be connected to
you. To make it easy and to protect you. Exactly. Yeah. So any closing comments and suggestions for
those single people out there, that you know what they can relate to what we're saying? They just
		

			need a little extra, extra push? Yeah, you hit it right there on the spot. I mean, it's not easy.
The whole marriage thing is very difficult for all of us, all of us. You know, even before you're
married, you go through a certain type of struggle. After you get married, you go through a
different type of struggle, but the whole life itself is a struggle. It's all a struggle. And at the
end, there is there will come an end and when it comes to the end, you just want your good deeds to
be better than your bad deeds. And you want to create to have mercy on you and to give you success
in the hereafter inshallah, and that's it. Just pray to Allah to make you strong to give you
		

			patience, and inshallah hopefully inshallah it'll be successful for you. And shallow half our Deen
frd calm inshallah does Oklahoma. Thank you very much where it
		

			says Oklahoma for inviting me. Well, yeah, thank you for being with us. And like to thank you for
tuning in to another episode of the show. You got to hear it here. We're trying to give you that
sincere advice, to get motivated to find that special person to be with. Never exclude your family.
Always have them involved in this process. Your mom somebody who's there with you, helping you but
the most important thing is that you have that connection with your Creator and you're always be
seeking his help, and inshallah Everything will be alright. With that said, we look forward to
