0:00:05 Salam alaikum warahmatullahi oh but I
0:00:07 care - how you guys doing this is just
0:00:11 something I've never done before
0:00:12 actually it's AQ & a session where i'm
0:00:16 looking at some of the questions that
0:00:18 you have put in the community page of
0:00:21 smile - Jenna hang on to your seats ask
0:00:27 him his Bangladeshi fans want to know
0:00:31 will he change the cover picture of his
0:00:34 phone and put a Royal Bengal tiger in it
0:00:39 [Laughter]
0:00:40 maybe why not why not you know if I have
0:00:44 to see if the Bengal tigers extinct to
0:00:47 the last things I collided my big thing
0:00:50 so I'll have to see him ask him how we
0:00:56 young parents are all two can save our
0:00:58 kids from converting into European
0:01:00 Muslims or moderate Muslims I'm gay the
0:01:04 person says I'm getting married very
0:01:06 soon I want to have a lot of kids okay
0:01:10 please don't give me laughs so here's
0:01:14 this end om you give me a lot of stories
0:01:17 and this is written more man this is a
0:01:26 big serious thing one of the greatest
0:01:28 things you can pass on to your children
0:01:29 which I'm having very big difficulty in
0:01:32 doing myself is language okay it's a
0:01:35 serious thing that our parents succeeded
0:01:37 with us especially if you're second
0:01:39 generation in passing one the native
0:01:42 tongue because we are much more
0:01:44 comfortable speaking the English
0:01:46 language this is gonna be an uphill
0:01:47 struggle and sometimes you're gonna need
0:01:49 the grandparents to get involved but try
0:01:52 where we have to try I'm not giving you
0:01:54 advice on this I'm I'm genuinely given
0:01:56 myself advise there to pass on the
0:01:58 language it's a serious serious thing if
0:02:01 you speak or do at home you know this is
0:02:03 a serious language it's a serious
0:02:05 languor do is spoken by I don't know how
0:02:08 many hundreds of million and also think
0:02:10 about the amount of people that speak
0:02:12 Hindi which is a closed language
0:02:13 if you know you're gonna know a lot of
0:02:15 Hindi as well if you speak bangle is a
0:02:17 serious language you know if it's Somali
0:02:19 is a serious language make sure that
0:02:21 that is passed on
0:02:23 you know don't don't honestly do not not
0:02:27 give your children the gift of language
0:02:29 this is just one advisor and this is
0:02:31 advice to me as well what does he thinks
0:02:35 of this means that you put in your video
0:02:36 I like them they're very funny they're
0:02:38 very funny that the ones really that
0:02:41 actually without them the video would be
0:02:43 really a pointless one
0:02:45 a pointless one a frivolous one how can
0:02:54 you answer questions directly and
0:02:55 fluently and what's the best way to give
0:02:57 dower to non-muslims the best way to
0:03:00 give that was not to engage in debate
0:03:02 now and that might sound like
0:03:04 contradictory coming from me or
0:03:05 something but yeah you see me give
0:03:08 debate
0:03:08 dude do debates and stuff that's not
0:03:10 really hard to come to try and conveyed
0:03:12 it the best way the best way to win a
0:03:14 debate is to not the best way to
0:03:15 convince someone is to not get into a
0:03:17 debate with them and try and avoid the
0:03:18 bailout all costs over that person's a
0:03:20 loved one or someone that you meet in
0:03:22 the streets you know genuinely the best
0:03:24 way to win a debate is to avoid one in
0:03:26 the first place and so really we're not
0:03:29 trying to win debates here when you're
0:03:30 speaking to a non-muslim you're just
0:03:32 giving them informative statements about
0:03:33 what Islam is and what and the biggest
0:03:36 bestower is just straightforward it's
0:03:39 non philosophical which say we believe
0:03:41 in one God this and that the basic like
0:03:43 tenants a lot of people will just accept
0:03:45 it you don't have to go into depth we
0:03:46 only do that to show that we can do that
0:03:48 of all due respect we can we can do that
0:03:51 we can get involved
0:03:52 Islam is a very simple religion but it
0:03:54 can get very complex and it has answers
0:03:56 to very many complex questions and
0:03:57 that's what our engagements with people
0:04:00 on on that level it tries to show it's
0:04:03 not to show that Islam is not simple
0:04:05 because it is most importantly ask him
0:04:08 how he deals with negative negativity
0:04:10 from speaker's corner and at the same
0:04:12 time have a peaceful heart I don't know
0:04:14 if I do have a peaceful unfortunately I
0:04:18 I think that it's definitely moving in
0:04:23 for direction now I have had it in the
0:04:25 beginning if you look at my videos in
0:04:27 2017 and see the evolution the more I'm
0:04:30 challenged the more I become more rough
0:04:31 and and to be honest I'm not the best
0:04:35 person to seek for advice I need to get
0:04:38 I've asked myself because sometimes the
0:04:40 best thing is to move away from the
0:04:41 whole thing you know and and what I
0:04:45 realized more and more is that we need
0:04:47 to think about going back to Allah
0:04:48 making tawba I'm making repentance
0:04:50 because how else will our hearts become
0:04:54 soft the Quran says Allah me at needle
0:04:56 Adina amino and Tasha bloom lyrically
0:04:59 leahy you know is it not time now for
0:05:01 the for those who believe for them to
0:05:04 have or in their hearts am in listening
0:05:09 to the reminder of Allah woman as a
0:05:13 lemon al-haq you know and from what has
0:05:16 revealed been sent down to them and not
0:05:21 to be like those who came before them
0:05:23 for cassettes Pulu boom ok Theo Moonves
0:05:26 a hoon and they had their hearts became
0:05:29 very hard and a lot of them are forsook
0:05:32 for offensive horn that a lot of them
0:05:35 evil do it so this idea of having a
0:05:38 clean and beautiful heart which is what
0:05:40 the Quran says your Malayan foul melon
0:05:43 will a balloon in lemon at Aloha
0:05:45 behold bin Salim the day where you need
0:05:48 to come to Allah with a basically
0:05:52 rectified her be a pile been selling so
0:05:54 this the rectification of heart is
0:05:57 something I haven't even embarked upon
0:05:59 it properly in order to to comment on it
0:06:02 effectively his thoughts on being an
0:06:05 Arab living in quasi Dessie country I
0:06:08 don't think it Israel is ethics you I
0:06:10 think here you may be this guy'll ism or
0:06:13 was it Bradford but believe me I know
0:06:18 you know I mean I like it I like all
0:06:23 cultures are like multiculturalism you
0:06:25 know when I go to Egypt some that's one
0:06:28 thing I do miss I miss the multicultural
0:06:31 nature of just this place asked him by
0:06:34 his personal life like as you
0:06:37 where he learnt to use those big words
0:06:40 that shocked the people other than
0:06:43 mashallah
0:06:44 other than that masha'Allah there's
0:06:48 actually a book I think is written by
0:06:50 something something called something Bly
0:06:52 it's a book called smart words for the
0:06:57 intellectuals or something like that
0:06:58 a camera to make you sounds big words to
0:07:01 make you sound smart or something it's
0:07:03 an interesting book I've been looking
0:07:04 for it just to get someone plucking out
0:07:06 some words then because words are like
0:07:08 you know ammunition you know if you have
0:07:10 the right words they can make people
0:07:11 laugh they can make people cry they can
0:07:13 make people angry like a baby
0:07:16 so words seriously words are a great
0:07:19 obviously vehicle for communication so
0:07:21 and the good old the source I mean why
0:07:23 not you know just use the source and try
0:07:26 and pick out some words but you you know
0:07:28 reading books and then kind of
0:07:30 underlining key words putting him in a
0:07:32 notepad of some sorts and then defining
0:07:35 them late in your time in your own time
0:07:37 what language does he speak was his
0:07:40 favorite one so I speak English in
0:07:42 Arabic there's other things I'm trying
0:07:46 to learn bomb like I'm gonna pretend to
0:07:48 list them here what's the favorite one
0:07:51 oh I'm more fluent in English anything
0:07:54 else oh I'm a three-layer interracial
0:08:01 marriage advice and tips especially for
0:08:03 resistant families best way to seek
0:08:06 education while being a full-time
0:08:08 student Oh Islamic education well okay
0:08:12 I'll give you one piece of advice on the
0:08:13 second part of question is make use of
0:08:16 your travel time that's a big one
0:08:18 you can memorize the whole Quran on your
0:08:21 way to universe and coming back yes it's
0:08:23 very possible so that's one piece of
0:08:25 advice that's very practical that you
0:08:26 can go and do now how to give down to X
0:08:28 Muslim atheist please just as you would
0:08:31 give down to any other person you know
0:08:33 it just give them the go wrap it's
0:08:36 called to go wrap research what the go
0:08:38 wrap is and you will see when he when
0:08:41 will he finally stop talking about how
0:08:42 tall he is I don't know what I don't
0:08:45 know when I was really making videos
0:08:47 about that one brother
0:08:48 I smoke I smell a jealousy there's a
0:08:52 jealous jealous tragic I wish you know
0:08:56 compute engine but I want to do down
0:08:58 what do you recommend me to study during
0:09:00 my college my college study to start
0:09:03 with no no memorize Quran and try
0:09:06 understand what that means
0:09:08 just a few pathetic you know just limit
0:09:12 yourself to that and also like I said
0:09:14 you before basics of kam [ __ ] and aji de
0:09:18 those three things is enough to keep you
0:09:20 occupied obviously Arabic language as
0:09:21 well it's enough to keep you occupied
0:09:23 with your work believe me
0:09:24 how does he feel after defeating David
0:09:27 wood very good very good
0:09:28 have you ever had Somali food yes he's
0:09:31 very good as berries when Holub and you
0:09:34 know moors and you know you know what i
0:09:36 mean all of those things that I enjoyed
0:09:38 a bit of that and I know you know mhm
0:09:41 that's right tell him that he's finished
0:09:44 then challenge him to anyway if I saw
0:09:48 your question is a [ __ ] show the hijab
0:09:51 means that ask him to which is his
0:09:52 favorite I've done I have to think about
0:09:55 how to have a better mindset that's a
0:09:59 good question
0:10:00 you know part of the religion of Islam
0:10:02 is to be very optimistic there's
0:10:04 actually many a hadith like that and I
0:10:06 can enumerate them for you in another
0:10:07 time but that's just optimism and
0:10:10 connected to a lot of paratime and one
0:10:13 Hadees that the Prophet my source
0:10:16 alarmingly high school teachers I am the
0:10:18 opinion of my slave so if he thinks good
0:10:21 of me then he'll get good in other words
0:10:22 if you have an optimistic attitude
0:10:24 especially in relation to allah subhanaw
0:10:26 taala allah will reward you and give you
0:10:28 good for that attitude and a personal
0:10:31 Quran will ensure Khartoum lies either
0:10:32 neck um if you were thankful Allah won't
0:10:34 give you more so this is these are two
0:10:36 things I just wanted to see his reaction
0:10:39 to old
0:10:40 what you are dirty except for clips of
0:10:42 you okay that's I hope you ask him for
0:10:44 that ask him how he controlled himself
0:10:47 when he read one point someone during
0:10:50 the debate you know I just think of the
0:10:52 consequences and I'm not the best I
0:10:55 country like sometimes I can control my
0:10:57 anger to a good level and sometimes that
0:10:59 card and I think you guys know when
0:11:01 one asked him to speak or do with you no
0:11:05 no no I'm not gonna embarrass myself in
0:11:08 that manner please ask him to do Q&A is
0:11:10 often on his channel next okay well hey
0:11:13 I'm doing that now what are the best
0:11:19 books resources to understand origins of
0:11:21 liberalism feminism comprehensively so
0:11:24 liberalism you're gonna have to stop in
0:11:26 basic start with secondary sources and
0:11:28 then he goes their primary ones that's
0:11:30 my basic basic advice but I think this
0:11:33 is gonna require another video okay
0:11:35 genuinely Western in Islamic philosophy
0:11:38 and history as well so I've kind of
0:11:40 covered that in the beginning but we do
0:11:41 need to go into that in detail on that
0:11:43 ask him how he feels
0:11:45 let's turn into a meme I wasn't
0:11:48 intentional that's usually how these
0:11:49 things go when I would like while we're
0:11:52 getting a haircut
0:11:53 I'm thinking of actually growing hair a
0:11:55 little bit you know I know this
0:11:57 controversial opinion but you know so I
0:12:00 do I want you know and this in his life
0:12:02 and just like him you know hello Sally
0:12:06 Mally Kamara not Allah he what I get
0:12:15 you
