			where he actually got a chance to listen to the that Allah to the other than to visit the Masjid.
I've decided to return to Cairo to try and understand who God is to Muslims. Islam believes in the
same God as Jews and Christians. But I want to know if there are differences in how they think about
the divine
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:35
			historian of Islam, amen. Regard has brought me to the owl Hussein mosque.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:49
			And you can just come in here, just like the Catholic church just always opened the prayer. Yeah,
you want to come in here and it can hang out with yourself and Allah. Yeah, absolutely.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:01:02
			I'm just in time to hear what Muslims believe, is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world. The
call to prayer? Allah Ma.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:13
			Ma.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:29
			What do you think Morgan Freeman, if we all I mean, we can end up dying tomorrow before him. We
don't know when our death date departure date is. But if, if we just go by yours, he's closer than
the most of us. Right? So now he's got to hear
		
00:01:30 --> 00:02:18
			some of the teachings of Islam, if we if we have to send the message to Morgan Freeman, and then
maybe if he was to visit your area of the world, maybe he can come also visit with you. And in his
next documentary series? Well, first of all, we wish and hope for all humans to accept Islam,
regardless of their position of the rank of their fame. Now, having said that, Morgan Freeman, I
think, was doing this documentary for a purpose. And he wasn't doing it for his own self. So he has
a script. And he's following the script. If they were to take him to a Hindu temple, he would have
said, what was in the script? Like, what's his name this?
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:27
			I have a set of certain skills that I will know how to get you and know how to kill you. Defend Liam
Liam.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:39
			Liam Neeson when he was in Turkey, yes, some something like that. So he, they praised that he was so
impressed with that. And later on, he was, yeah.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:03:15
			It's part of the job. So we wish that they all come to Islam. We wish that they come and ask us and
debate us and ask us what what Islam is, I don't like this in your religion, no problem. I'll
clarify to you. They have so many scholars, or diaries or students of knowledge around them, they
can get in touch with, but they don't. Because this is their lifestyle. If you read the sooner the
Prophet I saw some sent to Hercules or to the Emperor of the presentence. A message
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			the prophet has, I've sent him a message when this
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:42
			ruler, this Emperor read the message, said Allah, He is on the right path. In our fi were next to
him, I would have taken his shoes and washed his feet and drank the water of that. So people ask
him, Okay, are you accepting Islam said no, no, no, I was just testing the people. The Prophet said
that he
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:57
			did not want to waste his empire. So he knew that accepting Islam means losing all the wealth,
losing all the power losing losing his empire. So he
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:45
			decided to keep that over. That thing is that most celebrities are like this. Wow, who wants to let
go of all the wealth and fame for claiming that Oh, Islam is beautiful. You have to submit your will
you're not able to do this. So unfortunately, but yeah, sure. Anyone who wants to come and talk to
me, let alone I would say talk to me talk to someone who's more knowledgeable. Talk to solvers, talk
to someone who you may benefit from but if they want to come and talk to this poor slave of Allah,
I'm always there and just a phone call away. Let's go back to this now this is historical people can
go references check it up, Hercules now so this is this was a ruler at that time so he's exposed to
		
00:04:45 --> 00:05:00
			Islam he's exposed to the last and final messenger sent to mankind Prophet Muhammad, peace and
blessings be upon them who often say is a brother to Jesus Moses, Abraham know all the preceding
messengers. He didn't come with anything different. He came to the same message, worship the one and
only created the heavens and earth the Creator, not his
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:14
			creation, and he's exposed to it. So he's saying, you know, he's testing the waters now. And he sees
that this is the truth. He said, What'd he say? He said, If I was with him, I'd wash his feet, and
drink the water.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:34
			Hold on, hold on. This is really deep for people who admire historical figures like Alexander the
Great. And, you know, they watched many of these movies Braveheart, and many of these people out
there, you know, somebody even fictional, but now her actually this is a real this is not someone
from the movies. No, no, that guy
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:49
			gathered all of his priests and monks and head of church and ordered his guards to lock the door.
And he cited to them the stories and he recited to them, some of the verses.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:06:23
			He said, peace be upon him, Jesus Christ and his mother, and his his miraculous birth. And the
priests and monks started crying until their beards were wet, Christian, these are Christians
crying, no, because their hands are on they are hearing the Quran. And her Oculus Hercules is
setting up this meeting now. No. So after that, after he saw them being so emotionally moved by the
truth of the Quran, he said to them, so what do you think, should we follow him?
		
00:06:25 --> 00:07:04
			So he just was testing the water in a positive way. They immediately overturned because their love
of power and love of wealth kicked in, she said, and they started rebelling against him. No, we will
not do this and so much chaos and the shouting and disturbance. And he knew this, this is why He
locked the door from the inside. So he said, No, no, no, no, come down, come down or just testing
your Eman if you real believers or not. And everything went back to normal. So when this reached the
Prophet alayhi salatu, salam,
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:18
			he said in Arabic been be milking Hadith. Oh, this wretched person, he was favoring his wealth and
power over Islam. That's why he would not give it up.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:32
			Oh, this was unlike, unlike the reaction of the Persian leader, who torn the letter of the Prophet
alayhi. Salatu was Salam, and rejected even to reply to him.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			Because Hercules gave
		
00:07:38 --> 00:08:12
			the messenger game if and a concubine and some jewelry, back to the process, as a form of honoring
respect he gave he showed some respect yet to their level to the level shake of he said, I want
people to imagine this. He said, If I was with him, I would wash his feet and drink that water. Yes,
out of because all Christians know of the one that prophet as a Prophet Jesus peace be upon him,
gave the glad tidings of His coming.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:27
			And they knew that they were someone coming to fix the world. And Jesus Christ said this in the
Bible, and he said that he will come after me, he will speak not from his own self, but he will
speak from
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:36
			me, I'm not a biblical historian. So I am the jack at night even. So you go ahead and check it out
when you get them on the phone real quick.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:09:22
			I wish I wish I seriously I can but not that's the moment. So you find evidences that are beyond
doubt that they knew there was something someone coming and we know who this someone is. And we can
see it through his track record, actually just open your eyes. What do people hate about Islam?
There are those who have in it in enmity against Islam, like some European countries without naming
them, even when the European Council came yesterday with an ad, showing a woman without hijab have
pictured and a woman with hijab
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			half picture
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			to show the integrity the
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:59
			how cultures blend in Europe, because Muslims are a great portion of the population in Europe. It's
an ad a woman with no hijab, and a woman with hijab they blend them in. So half of the girl is
without and half is with what happened. This European country came up front and said, No, this is
totally unacceptable. We object because this denies the Christian and the Jewish heritage of us
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			or
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:44
			they have hatred to hijab. Anything that respects women, they have a problem with, if a woman comes
out with a bikini or wearing a son, good for you, that's the thing. That's what we like to see. They
have no fear, no bashfulness, no shyness. They hate Islam full stop. So you will a beard, cut it.
You want a job? Take it off. With Corona came, people started wearing the mask. They were shocked.
What can we do? They're wearing niqab legally, they couldn't do anything about it. But when it's out
of your conviction, out of your belief, out of your religion, no, we have a problem.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:11:25
			So these are great examples for Morgan Freeman or whoever else doesn't matter. The message is open
for everyone. Now, you mentioned the Persian king, you struck an example of contrast here, when he
and this also now look, if someone wants to see if the Quran is from the Creator of the heavens and
earth, they want to take a scientific analytical approach, they will see that this is indeed from
the crowd, the proof is overwhelming. But then you see the small details that are there that are
just you know, mind blowing, like this example that you're going to get with the Persian king. There
was a prediction in there you can say something that was going to happen. And can you go ahead and
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:48
			talk about this when those messengers came? And then the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be
upon him? What did he predict? Or say something that's going to happen in the future that they
didn't even know until like, what a month journey or several months journey when the messengers
came? And they told the prophet and he told the prophet, it was one messenger. And he told the
prophet said that this is what
		
00:11:50 --> 00:12:22
			the Persian Emperor did, he torn your letter, unlike what happened with the Christians who honored
it and sent with the gift, the letter what what was the letter about So for people that don't know
what's in the letter, the letter was simply stating that peace be upon those who follow the guidance
of Allah azza wa jal come to Islam, and you will be rewarded for yourself and for all those who
follow
		
00:12:24 --> 00:13:11
			you. And if you do not accept Islam, the message of Allah, which is to believe in monotheism, which
to believe that the Prophet Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, sallAllahu wasallam, then you shall
be punished for your sins and the sins of those who follow you. So it's a call to Islam is an
invitation with sent within and a messenger. So he out of arrogance, out of pride, he taught it up
and sent the messenger back. When the messenger came back to the prophet as I told him, the Prophet
said two words Mazola Homolka. He said, may Allah tear his kingdom.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:16
			And on that particular day,
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:22
			which the Muslims came, you know, a month or so later, when the news came, on that
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:42
			particular night, this emperor was killed, and he had no male offspring. So his daughter took his
position in leaving the country, which led it to go downhill. And we all know how they were
conquered by the Muslims.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:14:20
			Wow. SubhanAllah. So you have this, what is historically documented, you have her Achilles, you have
him like you are bringing to our attention that the He put all the Christians together, they got to
hear some of the Quran they're crying, weeping. They recognize us as a truth. But they didn't accept
because that power like now, what are you going to do? You're going to just live for prestige,
power, you're going to live for just the things of this world. Are you going to accept the truth, or
the truth, they're come sometimes consequences, right? People rebelling like they were going to do
against him. But then you have other examples. You know, you gave this example the Persian, but then
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:48
			there was also others Christians, who also accepted like the Christian king of Abyssinia. So this is
another example of a Christian, can you talk about who now he also was someone who was just who was
fair, someone who later Did he accept Islam? Well, this was way way back in the beginning in the
early times of Islam, the letters to the Najat to the
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:59
			to the Persian emperor to the Emperor of Bahrain, which is an Asian part of Saudi Arabia, the
emperor of
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:30
			On the presentations, the king of Coptics of Egypt and to the Abyssinian ruler, these were on the
ninth year of Hydra, which is 22 years after the revelation started. That was about two years before
the death of the prophet Isaiah Salam, if I'm not mistaken. So it's almost an Alou food when people
came to accept Islam, etc. This is when it was sent. And it might have been,
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:36
			let me recollect, no, no, no, I was wrong, I was wrong. So I apologize.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:16:27
			either don't have to edit this. But this just to show how poor I am and how mistakes I made. This
was way back. Because when it came to the, at the Cillian, Emperor, Abu Sofia live and how was at
the time of the truce between the Muslims and the this the machinery key. And this was before the
conquest of Makkah. So this was before between year six and year eight of hedgerow. This is when it
took place. Now the Abyssinian King you're talking about his name was an Nyjah. She, he was
Christian. At the time he was Christian, but this incident took place 1213 years ago, meaning that
when the Muslims were prosecuted in Mecca before they migrated to Medina,
		
00:16:28 --> 00:17:25
			they were so finding it difficult to live. To the extent that the Prophet son told them listen,
Allah has made way out for you, you may migrate to Abyssinia, which means that you have to get on
boats, cross the Red Sea, go to a foreign land with a different language. And nowadays, if you're a
frequently flyer, and you have access to different airlines and hotels, no problem, you can just
come send me an invitation to Kuala Lumpur, and I'll come within eight to 10 hours. That time, it
was like the difference between life and death for Bedouins to go on ships and cross the sea, not
knowing how to swim to a foreign land. Whoa. So they went there. Now the thing is that the Prophet
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:32
			told them as a sample go there, because there is a king, people will not be oppressed under his
reign.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:38
			And that is one mind blowing fact, because for a
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:53
			man who was illiterate who did not read, and they didn't have any Fox News or CNN at the time, yet
he knew who the rulers of countries around him and how they dealt with their people.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:18:22
			This shows you that the amount of knowledge the prophet had about what was going on. So he says to
them Go to him. So they went and they asked permission to live in his country. And the Joshy the
Abyssinian King allowed them to after some time, the idol worshippers of Quraysh of the motion key
the enemies of Islam did not like this. So they sent two men
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:24
			to
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:28
			try to send them back.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:48
			These men and one of them was honorable and asked me I wasn't confident the title. They went with
lots of gifts. So they gave all the close ones to the king. particular gift watches jewelleries
golden pens money, so they bought the heart of the king.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:19:00
			And then they went to the king and said to him, we have a problem with our locals who came to you
they had renegades and they
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:08
			say bad things about our gods and idols. So we would like you to send them back with us. We will
leave with them.
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:20
			All those things says yeah, they know their people, send them back with them. We don't need
strangers and definitely we're not going to build a wall or like Trump's
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:22
			back.
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			So he said
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			he chose my hospitality and
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:32
			how can I return them back? I will
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:34
			do this.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			So the following day I want to
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:54
			ask them what they say about Jesus because they say something that is extremely wild and
inappropriate. Being a Christian he said okay after he what he they say about him, so he got them.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:59
			There spokeswoman was jofra, Nabil Tada
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			The cousin of the Prophet is,
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			of course, the brother of it.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:11
			So he was the spokesman who came in and gave his speech.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:15
			And he said, I will read you verses from the Quran.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:27
			And he read the verses from the Quran, portraying in the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ, and what
had happened with his mother.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:41
			By the time he ended, reciting the Quran, Tears was pulling up the face of a Naja sheet, and even
his monks and priests.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:55
			And he said to them, what law he, he said, is nothing more than what they have decided. Jesus went,
Yeah, Jesus Christ. This is when the monks and priests started to
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:19
			become angry, because it says that Jesus had no father. And there was no male intervention. Rather,
it was the archangel Gibreel, who planted his soul in the womb of Mother Mary. They did not like
this. And the second case was unlike the
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:24
			Hercules, he ordered the dishes
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			and said that this is the truth.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:22:12
			And nothing else is that they can see did it and he told them, do whatever you want, you are free to
worship Allah Xhosa in Wow. So this is a great you know, because a lot of times people they get kind
of a superficial understanding about Islam, Morgan Freeman. Now these are the kind of stories I
mean, you have so much. Isn't there a verse in the Quran that verbatim Word of God Almighty that
Allah subhanaw taala is talking about that when there is amongst them those who when they hear the
truth, you know, the shed tears. So now you have an example of the Christians during the time of
miraculous and now another Abyssinian king here, who later accepted Islam, you have them shedding
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:51
			tears, they're hearing the truth. And now Morgan Freeman, or anybody else can be Liam Neeson again,
it's interesting about Liam Neeson that there was when he came back, because you mentioned this, he
was in the first part of his day in Turkey. He was annoyed with that. And then you know, the story
goes is an older story. But then he started he said it was something like it was penetrating his
soul. And there was even talk, you'd watch him on some of these talk shows talking about, you know,
he was like, kind of pumped up. But then he got hit with the backlash from community. And that's now
your test. Are you going to submit to what P and she says, you know, the community or stardom? Or
		
00:22:51 --> 00:23:01
			are you going to actually go down that path and accept the truth? So these are great stories for
Morgan Freeman and others, to really take a deep dive and look into Islam. So what would you say to
someone like Morgan Freeman,
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:41
			someone who now they think that just these is just another religion? There's some good in there,
just like other religions and whatnot? Well, you have clear passages in the Quran where God Almighty
I mean, if you look at this, on his book, there's no way that it can come from anyone else. There's
not contradiction upon contradiction. You know, there's not different versions of the Quran. It's
not, you know, a core a collection of books from anonymous authors. This is from the cradle cradle,
you mean the whole universe and everything in it. He's saying that whoever chooses a way of life
other than complete and total submission to Him and Him alone, to the credit the universe, never
		
00:23:41 --> 00:24:03
			will that way of life be accepted. So what would you if you had a sit down now he's traveling Morgan
Freeman, he comes to your part of the world Jeddah, he's doing his documentary, and now you're
talking with them? What What would you what are the kinds of things how would you invite him to this
beautiful way of life of Islam? Usually, I follow a very easy way of
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:56
			thinking, very simple as not a rocket scientist, as if rocket science is the best and no, I'm not
someone who's sophisticated and uneasy, go in person. I'm easy, like Friday morning. So I wouldn't
go into complicated stuff. philosophical stuff. I don't know, the stuff Hamdulillah I know, black
and white. I'm a logical person. So I would say to him, Listen, you believe in the existence of one
Creator? Most likely said definitely. Okay, this one Creator, would it be wise to create all this
perfection in this life in this world, and lead them astray without showing them what is right and
what's wrong? You wouldn't expect an apple to produce a device. So magnificent so it's
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			sleek, so nice and not tell
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:05
			people whether it's a phone or a TV set or a microwave,
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			they would have to show them how it works.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:26:00
			operation manual etc. So Allah azza wa jal definitely would show us how to worship and what to do
and what is expected from us. So logical, but all religions do this too. Okay, excellent. Number
one, are all religions, right at the sight of Allah? Said, maybe? No, no no candy. If they are all
right, they mean that they all share the same values do the same that shared the same, same values.
No, no, no, this religion goes right this religion goes left this religion does not even exist on
Earth. So definitely the truth. beside Allah is one. So which one which religion? This is the acid
test, you have to do to each religion, come to Christianity scrutinize it, look into it deeply to
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:48
			see if it is the accepted religion to God at the moment. Do you have an original scripture of the
New Testament of the angel? No, we have a translation of a translation of a translation. You have
the original manuscript? No. Does anybody know the original manuscript? And how know we have one
version? No, we have hundreds. The Catholics have the Dewey version. The Protestants have the King
James Version, we have the new standard version, we have the red dot virgin of letter 1000s of
copies. Okay, go to other religion, Hindus, Buddhism, do they share the perfection? The
authenticity, the sustainability of all religions?
		
00:26:50 --> 00:27:42
			Like Islam or not, you will come to the conclusion that okay, with all religions, ratings, I will
rate Islam to have the highest 80%. Let's assume 80%, not 100%. Is there anything close to it? No.
The second close is like 30 or 45. Okay. So why aren't you accepting Islam? Because it's 80. I think
if it's 80%, the 80%, which is right and correct and authentic, should overwhelm the 20% that are
doubtful in your head, though I got into that the future and the science will prove the other 20%
that you're not being able to buy? It's very easy way of communicating. But people who are digital
people who said, no, no, no, no, I believe that Jesus agreed my life or Jesus cured my parallel
		
00:27:43 --> 00:28:04
			analysis that Jesus did this. Jesus came to me, like one America, President said, Jesus came to him,
God came to him and told him to invade other countries. And then said, oops, sorry. Again, it was it
was a mistake. They will know weapons of mass destruction. Sorry for the million kill for Tough luck
next time.
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:42
			Subhan Allah. So yeah, these are a lot, a lot of things. You know, just simple facts. It's not some
hocus pocus stuff that people throw at you. And you got to put your like intelligence on hold. When
you were mentioning when we were mentioning all these Christians, and then scholars, you know,
people of intellect, you had so many people who are enemies, opponents of the truth, but later they
became lovers of the truth, they accepted the truth. I mean, this is you know, when people study the
life, you know, from the authentic sources when they study the life, you know, the history of
Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him not through the opponents of Islam. You have
		
00:28:42 --> 00:29:13
			another Christian, do you have another scholar, who also if you can just touch upon this, what had
been NOFO this was somebody now who's a scholar of that time, who knows who knew all the other, you
know, what they had are the remnants of the truth of you know, of the, of the Torah what they had of
you know, the teachings of Jesus. So, at that time, whatever he had, he studied it. And then when he
saw Prophet Muhammad, what he'd recognized him as an imposter or as indeed that anticipated prophet
who was supposed to be sent the last and final seal of the prophets.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:20
			He immediately accept, accepted Him and He said
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:23
			to him
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:25
			earlier
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			if I were
		
00:29:30 --> 00:30:00
			young, when your people would kick you out of 30 on came with the same religion. No one came with
the same religion that you came up with, except he would face in Mitty of his people. But la we only
with all due respect, when you bring all these stories, if I were in their shoes, I would say that
okay, this is history. It might be right, it might be wrong. I could find me
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:55
			maybe one in a million who was a Muslim devout Muslim who rejected Islam. So does this to shake? No,
it's not the way the way is that Allah gave you. Intellect, Allah gave you a brain to think of and
to analyze things up. You have to do your due diligence, come and sit and think. Is this the system
that manages the whole world without problems? Or conflict? Is this the law that ensures justice to
all regardless of color, and he is a man of color? How did the Muslims deal with blacks? Who were
among the most prominent of the companions of the prophet as they were black? And the Prophet stated
this 15 Centuries ago, there is no privilege for a white over a black
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			for an Arab over an
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:40
			except with a virtue and the fear of Allah azza wa jal how powerful yet it's so simple. Lee talking
about you know, this pure monotheism and directing people, because sometimes when you ask someone,
I've had experience asking, you know, the person who's in his late 70s 80s Have you ever thought
about the purpose of life? Have you ever asked the Creator life for guidance? So I've interviewed so
many people over the years and when he did this simple, yet profound thing of asking the creator for
guidance alone, because the devil Shakedown makes things confusing, oh, so many religions, they're
all the same, this, that and the other. And so it makes it so complicated. But then, you know, how
		
00:31:40 --> 00:32:36
			powerful is this to lead Morgan Freeman or just the average layman? to Now *, ask for the guidance
from the one created you? Whoever asks Allah azza wa jal wholeheartedly, Allah will guide him. I
guarantee you this. So I don't ask people to come to Islam. I just asked them to ask Allah Almighty
to guide their heart to the straight path. If they're sincere in that, they will be guided. Imagine
what was the DUA, the supplication that our Prophet that he saw, so I'm used to open his night
prayer. And night prayer is something that people offer as a voluntary act. It's not part of the
five pillars of Islam. It's something that is a bit higher, it's a bonus. So people wake up at 3am.
		
00:32:37 --> 00:33:11
			An hour or two before the break of dawn, when everybody's asleep, nobody's awake. So the Prophet
used to wake up, and his supplication would be Allahu maramba. Gibran Isla Mika Inoue sloughi oh
lord of Gibreel Archangel Gabriel as Raphael and Mikhail the three greatest angels of all fault the
semi lucky Oh Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. I only my labia shahada, no word of
what is seen and unseen.
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:30
			Ini Lima Tula puffy, hidden and happy, the ethnic after you praise Allah with all of these beautiful
praises, you ask? So you say and guide me to what righteousness and truth people have disagreed
upon?
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:50
			What does that show you? It shows you that even the Prophet of Allah is begging Allah, Allah
Almighty every single night, to guide him to whatever truth people have different upon. Because if
Allah doesn't guide you, you're lost. You're a strain.
		
00:33:52 --> 00:34:07
			And the moment you think of yourself that oh, I'm strong, I'm King. I'm the champion. I'm the owner
of everything. Look at all the celebrities the poor things 50 years ago, who were they?
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:10
			First Page
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:24
			articles all the time. Always on the first page, the pictures events there. They were so beautiful,
so handsome, so strong. Where is all of that?
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:59
			down the drain. 50 years later, another one bites the dust. Then what is going on? Don't you think
that there is a life after death? Shouldn't you at least know? What's the means of transportation
the accommodation? What's awaiting me? Is it the sweet or oil sweet or is it a room in a dungeon? I
have to figure it out. Now. The problem the biggest problem is that such people not only
celebrities, the vast majority of the population, they are enslaved
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:11
			to their desires. So when you come to one and say, Okay, come to Islam, he said, Well, I cannot
jeopardize my red wine of 1982. That was a good year
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:32
			with a big piece of pork chops. I can't I can play with that and your religion prohibits it. Is this
all what life is about? You're willing, if your cardiologist say you have high level of control, you
have to stop this or you're gonna die next week. You got to stop it, then you're on it. Yeah.
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:53
			You have a problem. Okay. Think about what a way to and look for the right way out. Whether it's
Islam or any other religion, I'm fine with that. But Allah He I, I bet you halaal betting from one
side, not America, that if you ask Allah for guidance, you will be guided.
		
00:35:54 --> 00:36:35
			And this is what the crater is saying. All my slaves are misguided unless I guide them. So ask me of
my guidance is not the crater. How do you how do you spot see very authentic? Yes, upon Allah. So
leave us with something shade. What else? What do you leave us with? For again, Morgan Freeman,
Leah, meet anybody out there to average Muslim? What advice do you leave it before we conclude that
if I conclude it by anything, they will say, Oh, the chef is envious, because he was not awarded any
part in our movies back? Well, if you give me trillions of dollars, I would not ever think of
participating in this life. I've done that I've been there. Alhamdulillah. And I know everything
		
00:36:35 --> 00:37:29
			about this life that Allah has blessed me not to be and I would urge you, it's not your wealth that
we are after. It's not your blue eyes are your mansions or your fame. It's for your own good. Look
into what may save you on the Day of Judgment. Don't put blind folders, so that you don't see. Don't
be like a race horse that has these folders on the side of his head so that he doesn't look right
and left and only moves forward because this is not how it is. Seek Allah for guidance, and open
your mind to the truth. And the truth shall guide you with the grace of Allah azza wa jal for the
person just one more question who has never heard this term? Allah now they think, Oh, this is a
		
00:37:29 --> 00:38:20
			moon god, what are you talking about Allah, you know, I call on God, God. Okay, I have a CDs on my
YouTube channel, which is called the Beautiful Names of Allah. And I explained the 102 names,
authentic Names of Allah, the Almighty, that he called himself in, and the greatest name of all, is
Allah, which all other names direct to. So when you say Who is Allah, you don't say the Most
Beneficent, the Most Merciful know, when someone asks What is the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
which Allah? What is the almighty you say, Allah? What is the generous? You say, Allah, all names
relate to Allah azza wa jal, Who is Allah, He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth. He is the
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:56
			Creator of the universe, there was ALLAH and nothing was with him. Imagine, there was a point of
time though time is a creation of Allah. Allah was there and nothing was with him. Allah is the
Creator of the universe, and the whole universe is nothing compared to Allah, except when you
compare a ring to tossed in a desert. So Allah is the name of the only worthy of being worshipped.
They call him God. They call him
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:06
			other names, but this is the name of Allah that He accepted for himself mentioned in other
scriptures.
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:08
			Or
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:35
			other very Yeah, another variations those who said it, but this is the name that he acknowledged
himself to be called in Islam. Don't Arabic speaking Jews and Christians also call upon God by the
name, Allah, critic. They do. And even before Islam, they used to have names like Abdullah. So the
father is a prophet as seven, but was not a Muslim. His name was Abdullah.
		
00:39:37 --> 00:40:00
			Allah, so this is the God that Jesus he called upon by Allah ha. And this is the God that people
Jesus called people to worship not himself, but they call this is the one that Jesus worshipped
also, correct. Okay. 100 Thank you, Chef, thank you for being with us again. Here in the deen show.
Inshallah, we don't let too many years go by again before we have another nice session like this in
sha welcome.
