1 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,100 it's a profound quietness when I when I 2 00:00:12,150 --> 00:00:14,600 pray and when I connect with God 3 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,400 I've never had that up until I embraced Islam 4 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,900 I pray five times a day I fast the month of ramadhan 5 00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:31,900 I'm still new to Islam 6 00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:34,800 I'm working for my religion it's my belief 7 00:00:34,815 --> 00:00:39,400 if I do these things I'll go to paradise 8 00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:46,500 I'm a proud Aboriginal angler Australian Muslim woman 9 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,200 I'm Australian 10 00:00:49,219 --> 00:00:52,320 And 100%white Muslim 11 00:01:05,150 --> 00:01:07,170 I've always been interested in religion 12 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,550 since I am kid and spirituality in general 13 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,800 my mother always tried to feed me we 14 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:24,000 feed my soul with advice to seek for good spiritual content and in France 15 00:01:24,050 --> 00:01:29,280 Catholicism was kind of dying and not so many people believed in it 16 00:01:30,050 --> 00:01:34,570 so I decided to look at Buddhism for example at the age of 15 years old 17 00:01:35,050 --> 00:01:37,730 I started to meditate with some friends 18 00:01:37,790 --> 00:01:40,700 I started to go the conference of the Dalai Lama 19 00:01:40,830 --> 00:01:45,910 I really like this religion because it was talking about peace practical things to do 20 00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:47,330 such as meditation 21 00:01:48,250 --> 00:01:54,730 when I travel the world I was blessed to discover different types of religions 22 00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:56,190 different type of culture 23 00:01:56,300 --> 00:02:01,720 but something deep inside in my mind was like I'm not yet upon the truth 24 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,760 and sometime when I go to bed I was thinking it's not yet 25 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,500 there you know so I keep on searching 26 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:17,420 in 2009 I decided to walk 1000 kilometres on the way of James Wood Santiago de Compostela 27 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,030 it's a Christian pilgrim and I was hoping to find God in this process 28 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,270 but I was a bit you know annoyed by some Christians who keep on telling me you 29 00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:30,900 know this is the truth you have to do this 30 00:02:31,150 --> 00:02:33,800 for me God was the God of all religions 31 00:02:33,850 --> 00:02:36,050 that was my concept you know 32 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,550 I used to tell them you know God is too big for one religion…only 33 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,500 one day I was waiting for next flight to the Philippines 34 00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:44,400 in Abu Dhabi for six hours 35 00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:49,150 and I decided you know what I'm not gonna stay in the airport let's find out 36 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,100 what is in this city and I knew nothing about it 37 00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:56,450 and the only place that I found interesting to visit was the white Masjid 38 00:02:56,500 --> 00:02:58,550 the beautiful Majid and on my way to the 39 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,650 Majid I was listening to something on 40 00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:04,000 the radio that really called my attention to the point that I said to 41 00:03:04,050 --> 00:03:09,450 the taxi driver you know this is really touching my heart and the taxi driver 42 00:03:09,750 --> 00:03:11,350 said brother this is the Quran you know 43 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,080 and you've been talking to me about your life I think your 44 00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:17,650 good person please save yourself and your family from the Hellfire 45 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,400 and I said to him you know just relax wait a minute 46 00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:21,830 nobody is gonna go to Hellfire 47 00:03:22,150 --> 00:03:23,650 I didn't believe in that I thought you 48 00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:26,360 know there's no such a thing and I said 49 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,600 you know what I believe God is too big for one religion all religions are good 50 00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:35,900 and he said please brother read the Quran whenever you can and I said yes to him 51 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,270  but I was not able to read the Quran right away ... 52 00:03:39,950 --> 00:03:46,050 when I traveled again and I went to some Muslim countries I was listening to the ayahs 53 00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:51,900 on the call of prayer and it always also touched my heart but I thought you know this is a 54 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,660 religion for the Arabs are not really interested into it I don't know if it's for me 55 00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:03,000 so I kept on searching I even tried to do some shamanism in Mexico maybe some 56 00:04:03,050 --> 00:04:05,400 of you remember in 2012 some people 57 00:04:05,409 --> 00:04:09,900 Predicted that the world would be ending and I was one of those who don't 58 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000 believe it's gonna end but I was so tired of the wars and the lies 59 00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:18,570 of what's happening in the world but I thought I was hoping something will change 60 00:04:18,770 --> 00:04:21,680 and it didn't happen so we are still here in 61 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:28,200 2017 ...and you know I was blessed that in 2012 I was in the Philippines 62 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,900  and I  started to research on internet about the truth I wanted to know 63 00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:36,750 and I searched on all religions and started from Christianity 64 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,480 since I was in the Philippines I went back to Christianity 65 00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:50,450 I went to the church I was in need of spiritual fulfillment but I was a bit bothered by the concept of Trinity also 66 00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:53,000 I didn't believe Jesus was the son of God 67 00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:57,500 it didn't make sense for me so I was asking question to my Christian brothers 68 00:04:57,550 --> 00:05:03,000 and they were not able to answer me they said to me I don't know…also the life of Jesus 69 00:05:03,450 --> 00:05:06,250 between 12 years old and 30 year sold is not 70 00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:09,320 known in the Bible so for me was 71 00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:16,400  a bit not good enough and somehow deep inside after my research on Islam I knew 72 00:05:16,430 --> 00:05:21,650 this was the truth but I was afraid to become Muslim for cultural reason I thought 73 00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:29,170  my family will not like it my country will not like it so it took me at least five months to makeup my mind 74 00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:35,700 and I also considered Judaism but I found out that they were also an exclusive religion 75 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:41,700 that you have to be from a Jew mother to become Jew and it was very hard to convert to Judaism 76 00:05:41,750 --> 00:05:46,100 and it seems that they think they have to save the whole world 77 00:05:46,122 --> 00:05:49,040 you know so it's not a religion that  attracted me 78 00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:53,410 because I don't believe in a superior race this is not something 79 00:05:53,630 --> 00:05:57,610 that I considered to be good and when I found about the life of Malcolm X and 80 00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:05,450 his journey as a convert and also Cat Stevens I was an artist at the time I was playing music in the Philippines 81 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:22,160 all these conversion stories reaffirmed that Islam is the truth for a simple reason that there's only one God 82 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,000 worth your worship and mohammed rasoolallah is the last prophet 83 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:31,000 of mankind and we have thousands of proof that he is the last prophet 84 00:06:31,350 --> 00:06:36,280 so once I got sure about this in 2012 right after Ramadan 85 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:44,200 I decided to Take my shahada and I became Muslim and that was the most beautiful day of my life I will never forget 86 00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:50,600 and this is something that I hope the whole world start to realize you  know 87 00:06:51,300 --> 00:07:00,000 it can only be one truth you know it cannot be two truth so Islam is the truth and and this is an invitation for 88 00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:04,100 everybody that is watching you know this fin 89 00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:16,630 one of the thing I remember the first  time I visited the Masjid in Abu Dhabi is the peace that I found 90 00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:23,250 in my heart while entering this place you know I thought it was very peaceful relaxing 91 00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:29,880 and down the line I realized all the bounties of Islam such as the way of life 92 00:07:30,740 --> 00:07:32,450 you know my brothers and sisters 93 00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:37,373 this is something that I really started to appreciate with Islam but everything in your life 94 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:45,000 is actually planned by Allah and it gives you guidance to live and this is a difference with other religion 95 00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:46,500 that I could not find 96 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,090 other religions they just care about spirituality but there is no practical advice to be a good husband 97 00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:55,400 a good father a good businessman 98 00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,500 a good politician everything has been taught to us through the last prophet of mankind Muhammad 99 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,030 sallallahu wasallam 100 00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:07,700 and this is why he came the last to teach us all these things to refine 101 00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:13,410 our characters and another thing that is very powerful in Islam is the pillars of Islam 102 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,790 there are five pillars you know if you want a good foundation in anything you do 103 00:08:17,900 --> 00:08:22,850 we need solid pillars to go through the centuries to go for the ages 104 00:08:23,050 --> 00:08:29,300 and the first pillar of Islam is a shadow al Ilah allah wa ashadu ann amuhammadan rasul allah the Shahada 105 00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:37,700 which means in English there is no God worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad Rasulullah SAS Allah 106 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,830 is the last messenger you know this is what you need to believe in your heart 107 00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:47,350 and in your day-to-day life to become a Muslim when you have the five daily prayers 108 00:08:48,140 --> 00:08:54,160 at first I thought it was a burden I remember when I was visiting for the first time turkey in Istanbul 109 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,000 some brothers told me normally we should be praying 50 prayers and I thought wow 110 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:04,550 this is too much I mean ha how come God can ask people to pray 50 times a day 111 00:09:04,950 --> 00:09:08,920 but then I realised that it has been decreased to five 112 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,650 but the meaning and the importance of our prayers is worth 50 113 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,560 why because we have been created by God to worship him.. 114 00:09:18,700 --> 00:09:23,500 you know and this is the key point that actually changed my whole life because ask yourself 115 00:09:23,550 --> 00:09:28,550 what is the purpose of the life some people would say all the purpose of my life is to be happy 116 00:09:28,900 --> 00:09:33,400 or the purpose of my life is to make others happy everybody give different answer 117 00:09:33,450 --> 00:09:37,620 but for me it didn't make sense because I thought we are all human being 118 00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:40,300 therefore we should honor the same purpose of life 119 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,650 and this is what the Quran teaches it's very clear in the Quran there is one verse that says 120 00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:51,300 the only reason I created you mankind is to worship me 121 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:57,950 you know and that's why prayer is so important because it allows you during the day to reconnect 122 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,100 with the one who created you know how good is that you know you can ask him anything you want 123 00:10:03,150 --> 00:10:08,190 you can find peace in your heart and even on a business aspect 124 00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:10,950 it allows you to organize your day 125 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,640 according in the a more efficient during your day providing you you pray on time 126 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,950 so really this is a fantastic way of life and a fantastic system 127 00:10:20,650 --> 00:10:28,800 Another pillar of Islam is zakat  you know every Muslim has to pay 2.5percent of his wealth per year you know 128 00:10:28,830 --> 00:10:35,400 why because it's to alleviate the burden of the poor you know and it's also away to purify 129 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:41,940 ourselves because Allah teaches us that this money you have it come from me it belongs to me 130 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,300 therefore give my money to the poor people you know 131 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,700 and this is something that I found very attractive in Islam very purifying 132 00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:57,950 and I love to practice another thing that I enjoy and we are coming soon to this is Ramadan 133 00:10:58,250 --> 00:11:01,950 which is the fourth pillar of Islam Ramadan is the fasting 134 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:09,950 not only of not eating and not a lot of people think first thing is just not eating and not drinking during the day 135 00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:15,500 it's more than that we should fast with all our organs which which means not saying bad things 136 00:11:15,550 --> 00:11:19,240 about others not listening to bad things  not looking at bad things 137 00:11:19,590 --> 00:11:26,210 it's a complex complete month where we are fully and really consciously worshiping Allah 138 00:11:26,250 --> 00:11:32,350 the right way you know and it gives us also the opportunity to feel the pain of the 139 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:38,050 poor which now recently I heard25,000people are dying of hunger everyday 140 00:11:38,650 --> 00:11:42,200 a lot of people say yeah are too bad for them we feel bad for them 141 00:11:42,250 --> 00:11:47,000 but when you yourself deprived yourself from food for morning tonight 142 00:11:47,700 --> 00:11:54,000 you really know what it feels to be hungry and and this is giving us more compassion to help the poor 143 00:11:54,300 --> 00:12:00,350 and the Muslim is doing a lot all of us of all we don't talk about that enough but we are 144 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,700 feeding millions of people every year 145 00:12:02,750 --> 00:12:08,800 during Ramadan and something beautiful and it's also a way to unite the whole Muslim 146 00:12:08,850 --> 00:12:15,290 community together for one month you know so there are hundreds of things I could say about Ramadan 147 00:12:15,630 --> 00:12:19,500 and finally the fifth pillar which I enjoyed in 2013 148 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:26,620 is Hajj Hajj is the biggest pilgrim in the world you know every man deep inside his heart 149 00:12:26,900 --> 00:12:31,700 feel the urge to do a pilgrim to the point that there are other religions that 150 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:37,130 it's not in the book but they still do pilgrims such as Santa Santiago de Compostela in Spain 151 00:12:37,700 --> 00:12:43,500 and because it's something all human being wants :to go back to his creator 152 00:12:43,550 --> 00:12:51,000 and this is what we do every year Hajj is compulsory for every Muslim that can afford it and it's a great spiritual 153 00:12:51,100 --> 00:12:56,150 moment where you can be with the rich with the poor it doesn't matter we are all equal 154 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,750 and Hajj also preparation for us for the next life 155 00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:03,760 we are all dressed actually in the clothes that we will be wearing 156 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:12,000 during our time in the grave which is white you know a very pure very simple and it doesn't matter 157 00:13:12,020 --> 00:13:16,920 if you're rich or poor because at the end of the day what matters to Allah is what you have in your heart 158 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,000 and this is what I love about Islam is 159 00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:25,670 a constant purification process to your heart because what matter to Allah is the 160 00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:30,350 heart it's not if you're good looking or because you already created good looking 161 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,340 or even in a different way this is not what matters to 162 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:38,950 but your heart is something that you can work by yourself by connecting to God 163 00:13:39,330 --> 00:13:44,600  so my brother and sisters just find out more and in shallah you will be guided 164 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,770 recently we were blessed to witness Shahada 165 00:13:54,770 --> 00:14:00,140 the entry to Islam of A Pilipino woman she's 35 years also 166 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,960 such as myself …it was just a couple of days and she took the Shahada 167 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,180 die in our house and before we invite her to Islam 168 00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:13,350 we wanted to share with her the six pillars of faith in Islam 169 00:14:13,570 --> 00:14:16,630 so of course you have to believe first in God 170 00:14:16,700 --> 00:14:21,370 it makes sense you have to believe in God you have to believe in all these attributes you have to believe He has 171 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:28,950 not been created and he doesn't have any son you know is is everything right 172 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,440 so he doesn't have a father it doesn't have a son God is God and God cannot be a 173 00:14:33,460 --> 00:14:39,200 human being so all this has to be well understood and then you have to also 174 00:14:39,250 --> 00:14:46,940 believe in the angels God created angels before us and angels worship God and 175 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,410 they are they do everything God wants They are never disobedient 176 00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:56,670 so you have to believe in angels and you also have to know that Shaitan is not 177 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:01,480 a fallen fallen angel Shaitan is another type of creature that is called the genes 178 00:15:01,950 --> 00:15:07,700 made of fire but this is not part of the sixth pillars but you a lot of Christians think that Shaitan 179 00:15:08,130 --> 00:15:13,500 was an  Angels which is not true and it's actually in the Quran for the people to see 180 00:15:13,980 --> 00:15:17,090 thirdly you have to believe in the prophets of God 181 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,560 since the beginning of mankind which started with Adam and Eve 182 00:15:22,980 --> 00:15:29,290 God sent prophets who are all basically from the same family of Adam and Eve 183 00:15:29,300 --> 00:15:32,930 we all come from the same father and mother 184 00:15:32,950 --> 00:15:36,700 and then we all brothers and sisters in humanity so this is a concept that also 185 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:43,290 Christian belief and as a former Christian what I loved about Islam is actually all the prophets that I knew 186 00:15:43,350 --> 00:15:54,240 such as Jesus,Moses,Jacob,Joseph all the prophets Abraham all the prophets are the same prophets in Islam 187 00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:59,100 the only difference is we acknowledge that the last prophet is Prophet Muhammad and 188 00:15:59,150 --> 00:16:04,620 Jesus acknowledged to his disciples that there will be another prophet that will 189 00:16:04,650 --> 00:16:08,240 come after him you know so that was very easy for me to believe 190 00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:13,870 and also we believe that Miriam is the mother of Jesus one of the prophet of God 191 00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:19,090 you know so the reason for the prophets to come is to say basically the same message 192 00:16:19,700 --> 00:16:22,700 there's only one God worthy of worship and this is Allah 193 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:28,550 you know because through history of mankind men have at end ency to worship some thing else 194 00:16:28,570 --> 00:16:30,420 which is the biggest sin in Islam 195 00:16:30,450 --> 00:16:35,890 you know you cannot do that because how about you should tell your mother actuallyI have 196 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,360 to mother will she like it 197 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,920 no of course she will not like it because she's theo nly one to make it 198 00:16:41,980 --> 00:16:43,530 same allah subhanaw taala 199 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,920 is the only one to make you as well before it's normal that you worshipping 200 00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:49,950 him only you know this is the least you can do actually 201 00:16:50,250 --> 00:17:00,750 so the fourth pillar of faith is the book of God that was sent to some of our prophets such as Moses the ten 202 00:17:00,770 --> 00:17:04,880 commandments are very famous around the world and also the gospel 203 00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:10,150 that I was sent to Jesus but those books were lost 204 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,300 you know in transition as we say you know it got lost and some people rewrote 205 00:17:14,500 --> 00:17:19,480 certain things but it came from men it was man-made but the Quran is the last 206 00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:28,040 book the last revelation untouched by men which means all the words gets maintained 207 00:17:28,050 --> 00:17:32,860 you know from the Arabic version up until this century it cannot be changed that's why 208 00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:38,390 this is one of the miracle of Islam…the miracle of the Quran is that people from all over the world 209 00:17:38,450 --> 00:17:43,300 Chinese French Japanese Africans are learning and memorizing the Quran 210 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,230 which is 600 pages by a heart and this is a miracle 211 00:17:47,470 --> 00:17:51,440 you know this is truly a miracle that you're a Chinese person 212 00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:56,550 and you can recite 600 pages of Arabic you can try to do that in your own language 213 00:17:56,750 --> 00:18:03,490 and good luck with that and if you manage to memorize the Bible in English just call me you know I give you 214 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:10,290 a $1,000 good luck but really it's what really convinced me about Islam 215 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:18,370 that quran is a miracle you know and people who deny that are kind of lying to themselves honestly 216 00:18:19,050 --> 00:18:24,500 the fifth point is this is where the sister from the philippines share doubt about the day 217 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,280 of judgments you know because in the Christian concept 218 00:18:27,300 --> 00:18:32,680 as long as you believe that as long as you believe in Jesus you will go to paradise right 219 00:18:33,180 --> 00:18:41,100 but brothers and sister is it really realistic that just to believe in Jesus will take you 220 00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:47,090 to paradise God is a fair God as well and you will have to judge everyone of us 221 00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:51,540 and Muslim we believe that we will be judged as well such as the Christians 222 00:18:51,900 --> 00:18:54,300 such as the Jews such as every body else 223 00:18:54,660 --> 00:18:59,670 you know but the difference is we already qualified to the University of God which is 224 00:19:00,250 --> 00:19:04,700 Islam you know so we are going to be in front of the same test 225 00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:10,350 but if you don't enter the right University to qualify how can you pass the test 226 00:19:10,820 --> 00:19:16,200 and which book to study to pass the test of this life is the Koran because this is the last message 227 00:19:16,220 --> 00:19:21,720 of God to mankind and this is where I shared a bit of doubt about the day of judgment 228 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,670 but I think it's clear that God is a loving God 229 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,450 but it's also a God that needs to be feared because he's a fair God and therefore he will have to judge us 230 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,650 and give us a reward which is parallel or give us a punishment which is hellfire 231 00:19:36,700 --> 00:19:44,940 and lastly the last pillar is the pillar of there's no coincidence in us and we call it Qadar 232 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:51,320 you know Qadar is destiny everything that is happening even this Film I'm doing right now was 233 00:19:51,350 --> 00:19:56,820 planned even before my birth as something that Allah already planned 234 00:19:57,100 --> 00:20:01,030 and everything that happens in our life is because of the will of God 235 00:20:01,420 --> 00:20:06,560 so this is This is basically the last pillar of faith and you as a Muslim you need to believe 236 00:20:06,700 --> 00:20:13,000 in these six pillars of faith you know to really be called a Muslim 237 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:24,570 I've always been passionate about history when I was at school I found facility to discover what happened 238 00:20:25,340 --> 00:20:32,300 back in the days but I've never been told how rich and how deep was the history 239 00:20:32,350 --> 00:20:40,360 of the Muslim especially from the 7th century up to the 14thcenturyEurope was in darkness and Sun started 240 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:47,900 to spread acquitting in Spain and actually the the Renaissance in Europe started from Spain 241 00:20:48,450 --> 00:20:55,510 and all the scientists all the intellectuals were living in Andalusia and from Andalusia 242 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,100 the knowledge spread all over Europe which ultimately had Europe to get out 243 00:21:01,150 --> 00:21:06,580 of darkness to become civilized you know and it's something that should be taught in every schools in Europe 244 00:21:07,250 --> 00:21:11,880 and around the world is Islam there's a book called the 1001 245 00:21:11,950 --> 00:21:18,740 discoveries in Islam and I mean Muslim created the almost everything if you think about it 246 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:27,900 libraries universities pharmacies vaccinations the first vaccination the 247 00:21:27,950 --> 00:21:35,150 first vaccine was from a Muslim the good one and you know where a lot of 248 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:43,160 discoveries such as photography and you  know if you go deep in history you will find out by yourself 249 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:48,100 and I really invite you to do so because you know one other thing that Islam asked us 250 00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:52,950 to do and this is the first word that the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him  received 251 00:21:53,790 --> 00:21:58,670 from God through the angel Gabriel is“Iqra’”which means read 252 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:06,930 so Islam is not a religion for ignorant you know is a religion that actually liberates you by 253 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:14,950 telling you the truth and by telling you to study to study first about God and then every science are welcome in 254 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:21,100 Islam you know there is not a contradiction between science and Islam because God knows everything 255 00:22:21,150 --> 00:22:23,850 everything that is been discovered by men 256 00:22:24,450 --> 00:22:29,180 actually because of the will of God you know and scientists tend to forget about this 257 00:22:29,850 --> 00:22:34,270 and there are many verses in the Quran that was revealed to the Prophet peace be upon him 258 00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:40,140 in the seventh century that could have not been known by a man in the seventh century 259 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:48,450 if not by Allah who told him everything What happens in the womb of a pregnant woman it has been 260 00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:54,840 discovered a few a few decades ago through “macaque”a former scientist 261 00:22:54,900 --> 00:22:59,900 you know and actually a lot of scientists at least are becoming Muslim 262 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:08,400 in the seventh century in the desert we can only come from God and that's why Islam 263 00:23:08,450 --> 00:23:14,750 is spreading so fast and even billions of dollar invested every year to lie 264 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,020 about Islam it cannot be stopped 265 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,500 this is a bad news for the people who are this is a bad news for the people who are 266 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,450 working or that on that because you should change 267 00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:27,770 your work because this is useless to do it because you cannot stop the truth 268 00:23:28,250 --> 00:23:34,420  because this is the will of God and it's amazing to see that we all See this propaganda against Islam through 269 00:23:34,450 --> 00:23:37,300 the Western media people like me from France 270 00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:40,900 and all over the world I am addressing some everyday 271 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,140 by hundreds if not thousands god knows the exact number 272 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:50,640 so this is just for some people who are working on that to just do something else 273 00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:55,180 which will be more profitable you can go surfing that's what I used to do back in the day 274 00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:00,850 so this is better for you than to try to fight Islam because you cannot win that it's impossible 275 00:24:00,900 --> 00:24:04,170 because Islam is the peace Islam is the truth for mankind 276 00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:10,140 ok so this is a very important point and another word that we keep on hearing in the media is the Sharia 277 00:24:10,750 --> 00:24:17,410 the Sharia is the system of God so if you don't want this fine we will have to take the system of men 278 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:24,370 which is causing you to be enslaved you know why the Western media is always criticizing the Sharia 279 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:30,100 because we are controlling people and we don't want the people to free themselves and finally 280 00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:34,850 become people who worship God the right way you know and follow 281 00:24:34,950 --> 00:24:40,550 the command of God so you have two choices or you follow God or you follow another man 282 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,900 who will tell you what to do for his own interest life is very simple my brothers and sisters 283 00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:51,580 I made that choice five years ago but I'd only want to follow what God's telling me to do 284 00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:56,800 enough because other men don't know what is good for me why because they didn't create me 285 00:24:57,100 --> 00:25:01,610 they can be wise people they can be very experienced they will never know what is good 286 00:25:01,650 --> 00:25:06,730 that's why you see laws keep on changing you know and laws keep on 287 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:12,500 contradict themselves you know but the laws of God is still valid you know the 288 00:25:12,550 --> 00:25:20,200 the couple divorce is in the Quran you know still in in in Philippines for example in the 21st 289 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,550 century Christians women cannot divorce 290 00:25:22,850 --> 00:25:25,340 you know they have a very hard time -divorce is very taboo 291 00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:30,330 you know Islam liberating women fourteen years a 14th centuries ago and 292 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:36,180 the Western media is lying about Muslim women being oppressed which is the contrary 293 00:25:36,650 --> 00:25:39,950 you know Muslim women have more rights than any woman in the world 294 00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:46,400 you know and you have to study for and why how do you expect that hundreds 295 00:25:46,450 --> 00:25:52,050 if not thousands of Western women from UK from France for you USA from 296 00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:58,150 Australia are becoming Muslim every year without marrying to a Muslim husband 297 00:25:58,170 --> 00:26:02,650 how do you explain that if it was a religion of oppression how do you explain 298 00:26:03,100 --> 00:26:08,050 that so many women from the Western world are becoming Muslim what do they find in that religion 299 00:26:09,020 --> 00:26:14,200 because they finally realized they got tricked and they got used you know the body 300 00:26:14,250 --> 00:26:19,050 is exposed and all these things very realized they are tired of this system of men 301 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:26,200 so that's why 70%of the Converse are women and this cannot be stopped as well I'm sorry 302 00:26:26,250 --> 00:26:28,950 for the ones who are trying I'm very sorry to inform you 303 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,830 that this gonna keep on going and because you cannot stop the truth
