0:00:00 look you said that you're looking at all 0:00:02 the different religions yeah once again 0:00:04 you said you don't accept idolatry and 0:00:06 stuff I accept I accept I believe in 0:00:08 that as well I agree with you look the 0:00:10 first thing I want to say to you is from 0:00:12 a Muslim perspective from an Islamic 0:00:13 perspective yeah is that we would say 0:00:15 the starting point for us is a very 0:00:19 strict monotheism yeah so for us and the 0:00:23 sign point is like a monotheism when we 0:00:25 believe that there is an ultimate 0:00:27 creator sustainer an ultimate power that 0:00:30 initiated the universe if that makes 0:00:33 sense 0:00:33 now how feasible does that sounded oh 0:00:36 well Russia was a sign of your mind 0:00:38 yeah I believe that the Creator is what 0:00:42 brings life to the material realm to 0:00:44 Rome is this an illusion yeah we can't 0:00:46 take any of this stuff with us when we 0:00:48 go so the idea of an immortal God from 0:00:51 which we all originated gives us purpose 0:00:53 so you agree with that idea you accept a 0:00:56 lemon you believe in it their creator 0:00:58 yeah mate it hits life to existence yeah 0:01:16 it's different in a create and 0:01:18 creationism creationism you're saying 0:01:23 you reject kind of like the biblical 0:01:24 narrative by at the same time you don't 0:01:27 reject the idea of an all-knowing 0:01:28 all-powerful creator force that side of 0:01:30 the universe yeah okay it's all right so 0:01:33 what I was going to say now since that's 0:01:34 the case now we have to define some of 0:01:36 the attributes of this creator yeah 0:01:38 would you accept that some of the 0:01:39 attributes are creative capacity or 0:01:42 power or knowledge would you say that 0:01:45 these are fundamental to to such a 0:01:48 creativity 0:01:54 yes yeah you're saying is creative the 0:02:05 creative essence of the universe and of 0:02:07 individual souls yeah yes God I too 0:02:09 completely agree 0:02:11 how can we out your intuition for 0:02:13 example it is a fundamental metaphysical 0:02:15 function of all of our personality our 0:02:18 soul how come you know how can we we 0:02:20 can't prove we can't program a machine 0:02:23 for example to do these things so how 0:02:24 can we ever prove that this is I exist 0:02:27 outside yeah it's good all right so 0:02:29 having said that I wanna ask you a 0:02:31 question what's the most appropriate 0:02:33 relationship you can have with such an 0:02:36 entity the most appropriate relationship 0:02:39 is one harmony essentially when you live 0:02:44 in harmony with mankind and with the 0:02:46 planet you are living in harmony with 0:02:48 God there is no separation between the 0:02:51 effects that you enact upon the world 0:02:53 and what comes to you what more moral 0:02:56 consequences okay I accept that to a 0:02:59 certain extent let me show you something 0:03:00 we have our own version of that right so 0:03:02 we say because if you look at these in 0:03:05 traditions they do reference how to be 0:03:07 one with God and these kinds of things 0:03:08 from our perspective we say there is a 0:03:10 way to basically be harmonious with the 0:03:14 will of the creator and the way that 0:03:16 works is basically the Creator has 0:03:19 maintains created the creation and in 0:03:22 the creation you have anima an inanimate 0:03:24 right as for the inanimate objects 0:03:27 around us they are forcibly or obliged 0:03:31 to kind of submit to the will of the of 0:03:34 the Creator right so basically in other 0:03:37 words in order to be one with creation 0:03:39 in that sense not in the sense of actual 0:03:42 physicality but we're talking in that 0:03:44 figurative sense the way to do that 0:03:47 would be to do where everything else 0:03:48 around you is doing so everything around 0:03:50 us if you accept the premise of them an 0:03:53 all-powerful creator is submissive to 0:03:56 that creator we will say by extension it 0:03:58 makes sense to also be submissive to the 0:04:01 creator in the same way that everything 0:04:04 honestly submissives it doesn't make 0:04:05 sense I completely agree yeah submissive 0:04:08 to you know will of the creator exactly 0:04:10 the will of the creator but never to an 0:04:12 authoritarian figure that's why I'm so 0:04:14 against idolatry because anyone these 0:04:16 false prophets are these dogmatic 0:04:19 beliefs these are these are not 0:04:20 following these are not creations of 0:04:21 gods but their creations of human beings 0:04:23 and so never listen to a boss or 0:04:27 something that doesn't agree with your 0:04:29 own sense of morality that comes from 0:04:30 within but live in harmony with with 0:04:33 that that intuition which comes 0:04:35 essentially from God all right so let me 0:04:37 ask you a question because the thing is 0:04:39 it becomes very subjective when it 0:04:40 becomes clouded in that kind of 0:04:42 terminology I'll be honest with you 0:04:43 because what we will say is that if our 0:04:47 essentially our aim in life is to be 0:04:49 submissive to God right in the sense of 0:04:53 the aforementioned if that's the the aim 0:04:56 of life for the purpose of life surely 0:04:58 there should be a uniform way a 0:05:01 universal way that God has allowed human 0:05:04 beings to be able to do that a uniform I 0:05:07 agree yeah so now there we would say 0:05:10 this is the Islamic narrative I've been 0:05:11 completely straightforward with you yeah 0:05:13 the Islamic narrative is that the way 0:05:15 that happens is that the Creator 0:05:17 communicates with the creation and he 0:05:20 does so through prophets who have come a 0:05:22 full time yeah so prophets are a 0:05:24 necessary extension of what is necessary 0:05:27 to happen on appropriate between the 0:05:31 creator and the creation or in this case 0:05:33 human being specifically who are 0:05:34 sentient beings and able to make their 0:05:38 own decisions on free world creatures so 0:05:42 there was a need for prophets there was 0:05:44 a need for the communication between the 0:05:47 creator and the creation and so prophets 0:05:51 came up for salmon Islamic narrative is 0:05:52 that so long as humans were on earth 0:05:54 there were prophets preaching the 0:05:56 message of what we'd call submission 0:05:58 yeah so people like Adam you might have 0:06:01 heard of these kind of biblical names 0:06:03 Adam and Noah and Moses and Jesus all of 0:06:06 those are prophets that came to their 0:06:09 respective peoples and their respective 0:06:10 times and preached the message of 0:06:13 submission to their peoples 0:06:15 does that make sense right so what we 0:06:18 would say is that the messengers came 0:06:20 fundamentally with two different things 0:06:22 they came with a message and they came 0:06:23 with a and evidence-based to 0:06:26 substantiate that message so in the case 0:06:29 of Moses you might have heard of these 0:06:30 stories of basically you know the sea 0:06:33 splitting and all these kind of 0:06:34 different things yeah it's in the Old 0:06:36 Testament it's also in the Quran 0:06:38 these stories are meant to indicate that 0:06:40 these these are evidences yeah that are 0:06:43 used to prove the message of submission 0:06:46 because there's something which break 0:06:47 the natural capacity of physical reality 0:06:49 around us so there are evidence that 0:06:51 basically God is the author of of the 0:06:54 message that these prophets come with 0:06:57 now whereas all of the prophets and 0:06:59 messengers were sent to their respective 0:07:00 a nasty way yes this is this see 0:07:03 spitting why is that everything I mean 0:07:05 why why does that give evidence that 0:07:07 this is otherwise what I got to do with 0:07:09 Mohammed present disease right so I the 0:07:12 see splitting doesn't have anything to 0:07:13 do specifically with Muhammad's message 0:07:15 but I mean although it is know Quran 0:07:17 we're talking specifically about Moses 0:07:19 so in his time and this is an 0:07:21 interesting thing that must have been 0:07:23 alluded to by some of our scholars in 0:07:24 Islam that depending on the societal 0:07:27 kind of what society popular at the time 0:07:31 the the evidence base that the messages 0:07:34 come with suits that so at the time of 0:07:37 kind of what is it the younger would you 0:07:40 call it the middle Empire whether 0:07:41 whoever is in Egypt when ramesses ii was 0:07:44 there and they say that Ramesses is 0:07:47 linked to Pharaoh or not let's mention 0:07:50 the back at this time they were 0:07:52 fascinated with magic magic and all 0:07:54 those kind of things now Moses came with 0:07:59 a you could call it a miracle really 0:08:01 which basically broke the rules of 0:08:04 physical nature yeah and which which 0:08:07 acted as an evidence for his people so 0:08:09 when people saw it they said okay well 0:08:10 this makes sense you see what I'm saying 0:08:12 alright so for us now you will say was 0:08:15 our miracle right because we need some 0:08:17 evidence as well to be able to 0:08:19 substantiate the claim that Prophet 0:08:22 Muhammad is the final messenger because 0:08:24 that's our claim 0:08:25 our claim is that prophet muhammad 0:08:27 whereas all of the other prophets were 0:08:29 sent to their people and their times 0:08:30 Jesus Moses etc Abraham Mohammed was 0:08:33 sent for all peoples at all times 0:08:34 so that's the Islamic narrative so 0:08:37 here's what he's come with as he's come 0:08:40 with an auditory miracle or an auditory 0:08:45 evidence base whereas all the prophets 0:08:47 came before usually with a visual 0:08:49 evidence base so like for example in the 0:08:51 case of Moses the sea splitting was 0:08:53 something for human beings to visualize 0:08:54 and see whereas what we say is the 0:08:57 evidence base for the Islamic message is 0:09:01 actually the Quran itself which is 0:09:03 something actually which is transmitted 0:09:05 orally although it does have of course 0:09:07 written books as well to cooperate and 0:09:09 triangulate the veracity of the oral 0:09:12 message so here 0:09:14 the Quran has many different things 0:09:17 within it which basically would lead 0:09:19 someone to believe that it couldn't have 0:09:21 been because you were saying use a kind 0:09:22 of like rationalistic approach we're 0:09:25 using a progra list a kind of rush 0:09:26 nursing approach you would I would argue 0:09:29 that the Quranic discourse contains 0:09:31 within it an evidence base I'm actually 0:09:34 not a rationalist I'm an empiricist 0:09:36 okay so yeah Russian isn't it oh yeah I 0:09:39 think I got me something yeah yeah we 0:09:41 can't just question we need to 0:09:42 experience far enough I think you're 0:09:45 right about that as well and that's why 0:09:47 by the way the fundamental thing in 0:09:48 Islam is as follows one of the one of 0:09:50 the fundamental messages Islam comes 0:09:52 with is as follows well as Christianity 0:09:54 says we're born with original sin yeah 0:09:56 aslam says no we're born with something 0:09:58 called the filter the filter is a 0:10:00 predisposition just to basically submit 0:10:03 to God not only to know who he is that 0:10:05 the higher power but to submit to him 0:10:07 automatically so this presupposition is 0:10:10 awakened by the various messages or the 0:10:14 various evidences that human being is 0:10:17 there thereafter exposed to so human 0:10:19 being is for example exposed to the 0:10:21 fine-tuning of the universe and you 0:10:23 don't have to be a physicist to read to 0:10:25 appreciate the fine-tuning of the 0:10:26 universe 0:10:26 you can literally look with your naked 0:10:28 eye at the fact that the universe is in 0:10:30 fact finely tuned right and these kind 0:10:34 of things aim to reawaken you 0:10:37 beings from the say of slumber into and 0:10:40 the recollection of God so that's the 0:10:44 main thing of the Islamic message as 0:10:46 with the Quranic discourse as we've said 0:10:48 before has within it evidences we would 0:10:51 say which are very powerful in 0:10:53 convincing people that this is a 0:10:56 basically something which has to be 0:10:58 extra human in other words it couldn't 0:11:01 have been put together by a human 0:11:05 ability so we were saved for example the 0:11:09 fact that the Quran precisely discusses 0:11:13 events that happens in the future and 0:11:14 I'll give you one example of that there 0:11:17 at a time of the Prophet there were the 0:11:19 Romans in the Persians and the Quran 0:11:20 makes very specific predictions about 0:11:23 who will win wars and the case of 0:11:25 chapter 3 verse 1 to 6 it talks about 0:11:27 the Romans decisively going to beat the 0:11:30 the Persians in three to nine years in a 0:11:32 nearby land now these are this is one of 0:11:35 many different predictions of the future 0:11:36 that the Koran makes and that the Sunda 0:11:39 which is the secondary book of the 0:11:41 corpus that Muslims believe in or the 0:11:43 hadith the strong hand make of the 0:11:46 future from a probabilistic perspective 0:11:49 we can say ok well probably if someone 0:11:52 says one thing or two things they might 0:11:54 have guessed them to be correct but if 0:11:56 we put them all together it becomes very 0:11:58 very difficult to make the argument that 0:11:59 he guessed all of those correct 0:12:01 especially when we consider by the way 0:12:03 did you know let me tell you something 0:12:05 in Jehovah's Witness in the in the in 0:12:08 the church of the Jehovah's Witness you 0:12:09 know they predicted and by the way they 0:12:12 believed in this kind of thing where 0:12:13 people bring a you know divinely 0:12:15 inspired they predicted that the day of 0:12:17 judgment will be on 90 in the year 1977 0:12:19 you know that and when that year did not 0:12:22 when the day of judgment didn't happen 0:12:24 on that year they called it the great 0:12:26 disappointment because I mean I don't 0:12:28 know why anyone would be disappointed 0:12:30 for the Rev judgment not happening but 0:12:31 they called it the greatest appointment 0:12:33 the reason why is because the prediction 0:12:34 didn't materialize and that has 0:12:37 repercussions around vacations for the 0:12:39 message because it couldn't have been 0:12:41 divine if it didn't materialize because 0:12:43 it was meant to be from all-knowing 0:12:44 source 0:12:46 the saying the Quran predicted the 0:12:48 Romans were gonna defeat the Persians 0:12:54 the Roman Empire fell out for you 0:12:57 talking about the holy roman first of 0:12:59 all does two Roman empires right so the 0:13:01 Roman Empire started in the year 31 BC 0:13:03 yeah the gala the Gallic Wars and stuff 0:13:06 like that whatever and it continued on 0:13:08 but then the Holy Roman Empire side okay 0:13:11 now the Byzantine Empire which was what 0:13:14 was around at the time of the Prophet 0:13:15 Mohammed and continued on to Matilda at 0:13:17 1400s this is what we refer to yeah okay 0:13:21 but the Roman Empire as you would have 0:13:23 known from the history lesson that you 0:13:24 know done were in constant wars with the 0:13:27 Sassanid Empire or they also called the 0:13:29 SAS Amiens emphasis a neosaurus yeah 0:13:31 basically they're the Persians and 0:13:33 they're and this was referred to in the 0:13:35 Western history books as the Roman 0:13:36 sassanid wars now the point is the Roman 0:13:39 Empire as you would have known from from 0:13:41 the Year 400 onwards and the profit came 0:13:44 around six hundred thirty you know 0:13:47 around that time so from the seventh 0:13:48 century but from that year from that 0:13:50 time period it was going down there was 0:13:52 a degeneration of the Roman Empire 0:13:53 anyways and so the Sassanid Empire was 0:13:55 much stronger so wonderful I'll make the 0:13:57 claim that the Roman Empire was going to 0:13:59 beat the Sassanid Empire in three to 0:14:01 nine years and in a pile and all these 0:14:03 different things it wasn't it was a kind 0:14:05 of ridiculous claim if you think about 0:14:06 from a probability perspective it's the 0:14:08 equivalent of betting on a very low team 0:14:11 maybe in the Champions League being a 0:14:13 very high team may be in the top five in 0:14:15 the in the Premier League right 0:14:17 I'm betting that they'll breed them in a 0:14:19 certain way in a certain place in a 0:14:20 certain time period all these different 0:14:22 things so probabilistically the odds are 0:14:24 very low for that and that's one example 0:14:25 but there are many different examples 0:14:26 for example the conquest of Arabia by 0:14:29 the Muslims the fact that other nations 0:14:31 will fall into the hands of the Muslims 0:14:33 like Egypt and Yemen and Syria and 0:14:34 Jordan you know and Pakistan and India a 0:14:37 syndrome they're all these different 0:14:38 places which are now part of the robe 0:14:40 the Islamic empire 0:14:42 have been predicted to be conquered by 0:14:45 them by Muslim hands by basically so all 0:14:48 of this is when we put this into a 0:14:50 probability generator it becomes very 0:14:52 difficult to argue that could this all 0:14:54 could have been guessed and I would 0:14:55 actually argue and make a very daring 0:14:57 claim here 0:14:57 this is this kind of frequency and 0:15:00 accuracy of predictions has never been 0:15:03 able has never been predicted by anyone 0:15:05 I don't know if any human being if you 0:15:07 want to bring Nostradamus or the the job 0:15:10 is wearing this or anyone that you want 0:15:11 to that have made predictions of the 0:15:12 future with this many with this much 0:15:14 frequency and detail which have actually 0:15:17 materialized in the way that they've 0:15:18 been to your life do you see what I'm 0:15:22 saying 0:15:22 so here when we say we have evidence for 0:15:24 the veracity and the truthfulness of 0:15:26 Islam we're not just saying that we have 0:15:29 kind of superfluous evidence or kind of 0:15:31 arbitrary subjective type evidences our 0:15:34 evidences are probably our actually can 0:15:38 be analyzed objectively you see what I'm 0:15:41 saying this is not regarding the fact 0:15:45 that the Quran is also in and of itself 0:15:48 a book that claims that has no 0:15:49 contradictions a book that challenge is 0:15:51 mankind to produce a chapter like it a 0:15:53 book of the we would actually I make the 0:15:56 argument that the only religious ancient 0:15:59 religious book ancient religious book 0:16:00 which has been preserved in terms of its 0:16:03 its material its corpus 0:16:06 we've never the Muslims have never had a 0:16:08 controversy and this can go on the 0:16:10 record and believe me I'm here every 0:16:12 week and people trying they all trying 0:16:13 maybe but I can say this completely 0:16:16 clearly the Muslims have never had a 0:16:18 controversy on what constitutes the 0:16:21 Quran never it's never happened they've 0:16:22 had controversies on everything else but 0:16:24 they've never had a controversy on what 0:16:26 constitutes the Quran the Christians 0:16:28 around the other hand they are differing 0:16:31 on how many how many books on in the 0:16:34 biblical canon the the process say 0:16:36 seventy two books the Catholics say 0:16:38 sorry the Protestants am 66 the 0:16:40 Catholics say 72 the Eastern Orthodox 0:16:42 say if you want so here really is not 0:16:44 how many books are in the in the Bible 0:16:45 let alone the manuscripts in these 0:16:47 things so here what we're saying is not 0:16:48 only do our evidences there are 0:16:51 analyzable 0:16:53 just a word but also we have that which 0:16:56 is necessary for a book to be a Word of 0:16:59 God a preserved book free from 0:17:02 contradiction and uneme table so with 0:17:05 that you see the power of the 0:17:08 the the argument yeah I believe that 0:17:11 it's been like you know you when you buy 0:17:14 a software for the first time and you 0:17:16 install updates yes like Christianity 0:17:19 came along that was one update and we've 0:17:21 had Islam yeah I think that's a good way 0:17:24 the thing is that we the only problem 0:17:29 was yeah yeah in any religion is 0:17:31 violence as you know yes 0:17:33 we've always seen this violence in all 0:17:36 religions I'm not yes yes yeah I think 0:17:40 that the only problem is that the thing 0:17:42 that people blame Islam for there is why 0:17:46 are they so violent yeah there is they 0:17:49 have to kind of look at themselves know 0:17:51 what the Western intervention we also 0:17:53 have to exactly exactly know that area 0:17:56 of the world has been a kind of 0:17:58 hodgepodge of different civilizations 0:18:01 but you had Boyd Rome to the west yet 0:18:02 the Mongoose Arabs were all competing 0:18:05 and and of course that violence is very 0:18:09 harmful to them and it causes arguments 0:18:15 okay I accept what you're saying you're 0:18:17 right violence is never a good thing but 0:18:18 that's a in defense of Islam yeah when 0:18:23 people accuse Islamic world of based on 0:18:25 violence yeah look at the cultural 0:18:26 context here yeah exactly I mean if we 0:18:29 look at the raw data you'll find that in 0:18:32 terms of population I would actually 0:18:35 make the argument that it's like Muslim 0:18:37 people as a proportion of the population 0:18:39 are probably the least violent and now 0:18:41 that sounds ridiculous in the last 0:18:42 hundred years they have proven to be the 0:18:44 least violent people in the world in 0:18:46 terms of religion why and this gotta 0:18:49 sound ridiculous some guys laughing the 0:18:52 head off in a home there believe me but 0:18:53 if you count the amount of people that 0:18:55 have died as a result of the 0:18:57 imperialistic war world war one world 0:18:59 war two also if you count the full Wars 0:19:01 of America and if we consider state 0:19:03 violence as a kind of violence which we 0:19:05 should there's no reason for us not to 0:19:06 we'll come to the conclusion that the 0:19:08 most violent people have been atheists 0:19:10 like Stalin others and Christians if you 0:19:14 consider Hitler or Christian I don't 0:19:15 know why he considered himself and 0:19:17 people like him so on and so forth it's 0:19:20 not actually for 0:19:21 reasonably and in the grand scheme of 0:19:23 things as a proportion of the population 0:19:26 especially if we talk about the colonial 0:19:28 period because most of the Muslim world 0:19:29 was subjugated under the colonial or 0:19:32 Western rule it fares actually quite 0:19:34 well but having said that because of 0:19:36 kind of the post Cold War terroristic 0:19:39 backlash that we've been getting and the 0:19:42 the focus on terrorism so a lot of 0:19:45 people now will think of Islam as a 0:19:47 violent religion but we shouldn't think 0:19:50 just looking at the raw data of Islam as 0:19:52 any more or less violent as of the war 0:19:54 face who have proponents of those face 0:19:57 actually performing more more violence 0:19:59 in the in the span of the last 100 150 0:20:02 years than muslims but going back to 0:20:05 what i was saying i was saying that look 0:20:07 we have an argument for basically the 0:20:11 the truthfulness of islam yeah I'm not 0:20:14 gonna lie to you I believe I just want 0:20:16 to be straightforward with you yeah 0:20:18 because I like you you know you're a 0:20:19 nice guy he's dressed well you know I 0:20:21 came here not I didn't even and even 0:20:23 dressed properly today you know this 0:20:26 game you know I was gonna I was gonna 0:20:28 come I wasn't gonna come today but I'm 0:20:30 happy I did because I had a conversation 0:20:31 with you yeah listen to me I'm gonna 0:20:35 tell you directly I believe that the 0:20:37 purpose of life is to worship God 0:20:39 through submission not only is that the 0:20:42 case I believe that the guidelines for 0:20:45 human beings is therefore the Quran 0:20:48 because it's the final book for the 0:20:49 reasons I've mentioned so if you want to 0:20:52 live a fruitful life which is in 0:20:53 compliance with the will of God it's got 0:20:56 to be done through the injunctions of 0:20:58 the Quran and the Sunnah now I've given 0:21:02 you the reasons why like I've given you 0:21:04 some what of an epistemological base as 0:21:06 to why we believe in what we believe do 0:21:09 you accept that that epistemological 0:21:11 base I have given you is an argument 0:21:14 which can be accepted or should be 0:21:16 accepted based on the evidences before I 0:21:20 think that unless someone comes up with 0:21:23 a more up-to-date version of truth 0:21:26 the illogic courtroom yes I suppose to 0:21:30 make sense to accept that as the most 0:21:33 up-to-date fantastic so what we can do 0:21:37 is we can do the Shahada 0:21:39 right now this ad is the declaration of 0:21:43 faith now you believe in you believe in 0:21:45 what I've just said you would you agree 0:21:46 that the Quran is probably the Word of 0:21:48 God 0:21:49 based on what I've soldiers okay so what 0:21:54 do you do now is you is good now to 0:21:57 become a Muslim and what the word Muslim 0:21:59 actually means is someone who submits 0:22:00 their will to God as we've said in the 0:22:03 beginning that's the whole point of it 0:22:04 and what I'll do is I'll give you my 0:22:05 number and then you will discuss more 0:22:08 like you know how to kind of perform 0:22:11 your rituals and these kind of things 0:22:12 and get your a package of things to do 0:22:16 in watch and so I will take it easy on 0:22:17 you but how do you feel should go for it 0:22:20 then I I wouldn't call myself not to 0:22:23 much already practicing it's nothing new 0:22:27 for me I was very very much like that 0:22:29 would you like that okay let's do with 0:22:31 them so I'm gonna say an hour but you 0:22:33 you answer or you just kind of follow 0:22:35 what I say 0:22:35 and then I'll say you in English okay 0:22:37 yeah I'll say another person so follow I 0:22:40 say ash-hadu you have to say yeah I'll 0:22:44 say in Arabic and then you say Ann Arbor 0:22:45 and then I'll say English first yeah 0:22:48 okay so say a shadow I'll say that so 0:22:58 what you're going to say is I bear 0:22:59 witness that there's only one God worthy 0:23:01 of worship being submissive to which is 0:23:03 we believe that the God that we prefer 0:23:04 yeah and that the Prophet is the final 0:23:06 messenger okay okay 0:23:08 ash hadu an LA ilaha illallah WA ash 0:23:15 hadu ana muhammadan rasulullah 0:23:24 1 million Ryo a family or friends on 0:23:43 your sleep so now I'm going to give you 0:24:02 my number 0:24:02 off-camera this and then you can call me 0:24:06 for anything you need yeah and by the 0:24:08 way we're probably going to get 0:24:08 something to eat afterwards you're 0:24:09 definitely invite today's eat by the way 0:24:11 it's one of the exemptions of each so 0:24:13 you're already in a Muslim celebration 0:24:15 alright you almost give you my number 0:24:17 I'm going front of you solutions guys 0:24:27 please
