[0:00]foreign [Music] I want you to interpret my speech tonight as an

[0:26]advertisement for the book for the American crust in fact this is

[0:35]exactly was the reason for my hesitation to accept the invitation to

[0:41]begin with when my dear sister and my dear daughter malach asked

[0:46]me to speak and to uh basically have this presentation because I

[0:54]was a little bit afraid that this could be interpreted that I

[1:00]am promoting this book so I just accepted the invitation from the

[1:08]book club out of respect and out of love and appreciation to

[1:15]our youth and to our English speaking brothers and sisters and again

[1:21]I would like to emphasize that I'm not here to promote the

[1:29]book rather just to share some ideas and some thoughts on how

[1:33]this book came about so in 2004 Wall Street Journal wrote an

[1:44]article about me and two other religious leaders a Jew and a

[1:51]Christian and they had the a profile on me and on them

[1:55]few days later I received an invitation a letter actually from a

[2:02]guy named Will Murphy who happened to be the vice president of

[2:08]a giant Publishing House in America and I'm sure most of you

[2:15]have heard their name it is called Random House Random House is

[2:18]one of the biggest publishing companies in the United States they have

[2:24]published Memoirs of U.S president and many other books you can go

[2:32]to there basically a website and look at the many books and

[2:35]the variety of books they have published over years will morphe ask

[2:41]me if I would like to write a book on Islam and

[2:45]random house is willing to publish that book at that time I

[2:52]had no plan to write a book but the idea was very

[3:01]enticing and I thought especially we're talking now it is still in

[3:07]the aftermath of 9 11 attacks and this country was still uh

[3:17]reeling from the aftermath of that attack there was so much Intrigue

[3:22]about Islam in America at that time many people were asking about

[3:27]what this religion is who are those people and is it true

[3:34]that Islam believes in violence so to go a little bit earlier

[3:40]right after the attacks in September 11 2001 when those attacks took

[3:49]place I dedicated a lot of my time for public speaking engagement

[3:52]particularly on Islam to non-muslim audiences my journey took me to so

[4:01]many churches around the country whether in the state of Michigan or

[4:07]even beyond the state of Michigan and sometime overseas so I spoke

[4:13]in more than literally more than 300 churches universities and colleges right

[4:21]after 9 11 mainly to non-muslim audience explaining what Islam is and

[4:29]it was a very interesting experience when you talk to non-muslims this

[4:35]is my my impression this has been my impression that when you

[4:43]talk to American the public the first thing that crosses your mind

[4:50]that those people who may not know much about our religion but

[4:58]they don't hate our religion they could be confused many of them

[5:06]are confused over our religion and have some misconceptions in their mind

[5:12]on Islam but really they don't know much about Islam the main

[5:18]source the main source for their information on Islam I can tell

[5:24]you this is true for 99 .99 of Americans in America their

[5:31]main source of information on Islam is either Fox News or one

[5:39]of other you know channels operating in the United States run by

[5:46]sometime non-muslims and sometimes by anti-muslims so when I started speaking to

[5:56]non-muslims I found a very receptive congregation when I say receptive I

[6:03]don't mean they came and stood in line converting to Islam saying

[6:11]no but at least their perception of Islam after I spoke to

[6:17]them dramatically changed dramatically I can say 180 degree from a hostile

[6:24]one to a very friendly one and you know my dear brothers

[6:32]and sisters I always say this to my Muslim brothers and sisters

[6:35]in order for us to introduce Islam to non-muslims we really don't

[6:42]need to praise Islam we don't need to beautify Islam we don't

[6:48]need to put makeup for Islam Islam needs no maker Islam means

[6:56]no beautification Islam means no plastic surgery all you need to do

[7:03]is to speak the truth and dispel misconceptions exists in the mind

[7:10]of American people on about Islam and obviously the snow this requires

[7:14]some you know a background you should have a background an Islamic

[7:20]educational background that can Empower you to speak to non-muslims about various

[7:31]subjects so after every time I spoke I dedicated some time depending

[7:38]on the occasion the place between half an hour to sometimes two

[7:43]three hours for a q a receiving and fielding's questions from non-muslim

[7:51]audience and sometimes your I was struck on some of those questions

[7:59]I received for example just let me give an example some people

[8:04]say Imam I have a question let's go ahead there are two

[8:10]religions in the Middle East yes one Islam and one Muslim what's

[8:18]the difference between them I have heard this a question many many

[8:21]many many many times many people think that Muslim and Islam are

[8:28]two different things simple as that people in this country they cannot

[8:36]even most people many people cannot differentiate between What Muslim means what

[8:46]Islam means they don't know it is similar to Christianity and Christian

[8:50]so and many other questions similar to that I remember in so

[8:59]this is between two parentheses uh when after the collapse of Saddam

[9:10]in 2003 there was a prominent picture was being projected at every

[9:17]TV station it shows an Iraqi guy holding his slipper has a

[9:25]flip-flop hitting the picture of Saddam Hussein do you remember that picture

[9:30]some of you may not recall but those who are a little

[9:32]bit older they remember that this picture was featured prominently in the

[9:40]American Media an Iraqi Guy having his sandals and hitting saddam's picture

[9:47]with his sandals so next day I received a call from a

[9:52]priest or a pastor I'm not sure right now in Texas and

[9:58]he asked me Imam I saw this in the media yesterday in

[10:03]CNN in Iraqi man hitting the picture of Saddam Hussein with his

[10:09]sandals what does that mean said well it means you know discussed

[10:14]he is disgusted with Saddam Hussein he is fed up with Saddam

[10:22]Hussein and his regime and this is how he expresses his anger

[10:26]at Saddam Hussein right so the pastor asked me Imam is that

[10:32]in the Quran is it in the Quran that every time you

[10:35]want to express anger at someone you take your sandal and you

[10:40]had the their picture see that's how simple some people are in

[10:45]this country thinking that everything Muslims do from A to Z from

[10:50]a drinking tea to drinking coffee to eating fattoush and taboola to

[10:57]basically going somewhere and Outing it's all should be in the Quran

[11:05]that's the perception that exists in the mind of many Americans so

[11:10]I would answer those questions so when this guy I go back

[11:17]to Will Murphy when he suggested that I write a book on

[11:19]Islam and they would publish it for me I said you know

[11:25]what the best thing I need to do is probably to write

[11:29]a book on Islam that it is not an abstract book speaking

[11:36]in general terms rather something more captivating that keeps the readers interested

[11:45]in reading the book you when you give a book on Islam

[11:53]on Christianity on Judaism any other religion and it is in its

[12:01]academic style an abstract format it could be boring right it could

[12:07]be boring but when you insert a human stories personal stories you

[12:16]put a human touch on it and then first the reading becomes

[12:22]more interesting and it resonates more in the mind of the readers

[12:28]so I thought the best thing I would do is to write

[12:33]my own memoir and through my own Memoir I connect everything to

[12:37]Islam for example when I speak about my hometown karbala where I

[12:42]was born I would talk about the significance of karbala what is

[12:46]karbala what does it mean to Muslims particularly to Shia Muslims why

[12:51]it is a revealed City who is Imam Hussain who is buried

[12:58]and I talk in details about Imam Hussein alaihissalam and his Revolution

[13:02]when I talked about my own marriage I spoke about marriage in

[13:08]Islam and the the marriage of prophet Muhammad to say the Khadijah

[13:12]when I talked about my migration from Iraq to outside Iraq I

[13:20]spoke about the migration of prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina and

[13:26]so on so forth so I ended that book this way by

[13:32]talking about my own life my memoir and then in the end

[13:36]I attached a another chapter an additional chapter on the most frequently

[13:46]asked questions on Islam through my experience through my handling so many

[13:52]questions I was receiving from non-muslim audience I picked 20 questions you

[13:57]know when you go to a church or sunnygogue and you listen

[14:02]to so many questions don't forget that many of those questions are

[14:07]redundant the same question you hear today you will hear it tomorrow

[14:11]at another place for example this was one of the most common

[14:15]questions does Islam respect women and if so why she was hijab

[14:21]another question does Islam hate Jews and Christians if so why so

[14:28]I picked one tea questions and I called them the most frequently

[14:33]asked questions on Islam and I answered them so for some Muslim

[14:41]Students at colleges universities people like you talking to non-muslims having a

[14:46]conversation with them once that subject comes up you have something handy

[14:51]you have something available to answer the book was published in 2007

[14:57]it was reprinted two or three years later and uh it got

[15:06]some reviews from many many good reviews mainly one of them in

[15:14]New York Times New York Times wrote a I would say a

[15:20]good review even though it was critical of the book at certain

[15:24]parts of the book but in general I thought it was a

[15:29]positive uh the article if you have any question on the book

[15:37]or not necessary on the book on the most frequently asked questions

[15:41]on Islam please go ahead Ahmed I would ask if you can

[16:04]read them and I will answer do you have do we have

[16:06]another microphone or that's the only microphone okay so let's share the

[16:10]microphone the first question is how is the process of writing slash

[16:21]narrating a book versus the process of putting together a lecture uh

[16:31]there is a huge difference between writing a book and preparing for

[16:39]a lecture because I am a lecturer as well so basically for

[16:42]writing a lecture a lecture is if you want to call it

[16:50]a book it's a small book very small book that doesn't go

[16:56]beyond probably 20 maximum 30 pages but now you're talking about a

[17:04]book of almost 300 pages and remember in in your book just

[17:11]like in your lecture you have to have a uniting idea that

[17:15]goes through the entire book and it's re-emphasized through the the uh

[17:22]through the book but in the lecture you don't have such a

[17:26]long long topic to speak about you have a topic that's worth

[17:32]of probably maximum one hour speaking so definitely definitely preparing for a

[17:38]lecture is less challenging than preparing and writing a book this one

[17:49]says what do you love most about living as a Muslim in

[17:53]America freedom freedom I love the freedom we enjoy in this country

[18:01]when I tell you freedom I'm 58 years old I have visited

[18:08]so many countries I lived in so many countries and I can

[18:14]tell you from a personal experience that Muslims in this country by

[18:23]far enjoy a freedom that they do not enjoy at any other

[18:29]country including Muslim countries and I'm talking about their even religious freedoms

[18:35]religious freedoms you know in one street here in America you see

[18:41]a church mosque synagogue all lined up and they each goes to

[18:47]their own worshiper place with no hassle this is a rare view

[18:53]in the world where you see everybody whether you're Christians Muslim Jews

[19:03]Hindu they go to their places of worship and they don't fight

[19:07]now I'm talking to you Muslims and Hindus are fighting in India

[19:10]there is a big fight between Muslims and Hindus in India the

[19:16]government the extremist government of India is denying Muslims their basic right

[19:22]some Muslim woman don't have the right to wear hijab inside colleges

[19:29]and University campuses in India simply because they are Muslim in France

[19:37]France always brags about being the mother of the French Revolution and

[19:46]the country in which they boast themselves about human rights and personal

[19:55]freedom in France Muslim woman cannot wear hijab when they go to

[20:05]public schools and universities it's such a mockery that they call themselves

[20:10]a free country and they Mark any Muslim country that does not

[20:14]promote personal freedom yet they don't allow Muslim women to wear hijab

[20:22]in public places you end up in jail in France you end

[20:30]up in jail if you were in a cop but here in

[20:35]America alhamdulillah we have this Freedom that we practice our religion of

[20:41]Freedom freely you all see that during Ashura Ramadan at every single

[20:47]event we enjoy this immense Freedom that Muslims share and enjoy in

[20:57]this country and this is a big name from Allah this is

[21:01]a big blessing from Allah that we are free at the practicing

[21:07]our religion you know I have colleagues imams and olama and who

[21:13]live and at many Muslim countries they tell me say it we

[21:18]Envy you for the freedom you have at the Friday prayer I

[21:22]say how they tell me we listen to your Friday at almost

[21:27]every week I criticize either our government or another government they say

[21:32]this is something you can do in America but we can't do

[21:35]at the Middle East some speakers if they make a little criticism

[21:40]of their own governments they end up in jail but alhamdulillah we

[21:45]do have this freedom in this country and you need to appreciate

[21:49]and take advantage of it I wanna I know I took longer

[21:55]but I remember in 1999 September 1999 end of September exactly like

[22:01]around this time how many years ago 23 years ago I was

[22:08]invited to the White House for a breakfast I remember it was

[22:11]during the time of President Clinton and after the breakfast there was

[22:19]a conversation going on between him and religious leaders so I told

[22:25]him Muslims in this country do not that was remember that was

[22:31]before 9 11.

[22:30]they don't have a problem with finding food on their table in

[22:38]this country but our big challenge in this country is being stereotyped

[22:42]by the bias media the president replied by I agree with you

[22:49]I know that and he complemented Islam he praised Islam that's not

[22:57]my point my point is this is what then he said he

[22:59]says why don't you Muslims take advantage of freedom available in America

[23:05]and teach Americans about your religion you guys have no excuse we

[23:09]always say Americans don't know anything about Islam yeah that's true but

[23:14]what is our role to educate them they don't know much about

[23:20]Islam what's about us why don't we educate them don't we have

[23:23]the freedom to educate them anybody stopping us from educating Americans on

[23:28]Islam anybody would tell us no stop talking about Islam No the

[23:34]law allows you to preach and to teach your religion freely without

[23:40]the government or anybody interfering in your business so if most if

[23:46]non-muslims in America remain and educated on our religion part of it

[23:52]it's our fault yes part of it because of having hostile media

[23:58]but part of it is because we don't have the courage we

[24:03]don't have the courage to teach Americans about our the first time

[24:08]I visited Dearborn in February 1993 I was at a friend's house

[24:13]in East durable it was 7 A.M or 8 A.M in the

[24:21]morning when the door was knocked and I was by myself and

[24:22]at that time I would not even speak English and a guy

[24:27]knock on the door I opened the door he wanted to come

[24:32]in and talk to me about he sacked called Jehovah Witness Jehovah

[24:40]Witness or Witnesses at that time I would not speak English I

[24:45]told him I'm sorry I don't speak English plus the host of

[24:50]the house is not here so I meant not to be able

[24:54]to allow you to come in he says what language you speak

[24:55]I said Arabic he said fine he got a pamphlet from his

[25:01]own basically back he had with him in Arabic speaking about Jehovah

[25:12]Witnesses he would not relent he would not leave me alone till

[25:16]he make sure I got something from him hoping that he would

[25:19]turn me convert me to Jehovah Witness imagine how bold they are

[25:26]do we do this are we willing to go and knock at

[25:31]and Christian Jewish homes giving them a small book on Islam tell

[25:35]them okay and if they don't speak our language we give them

[25:38]books according to their own language do we have this audacity no

[25:43]many of us the first thing they do when they come to

[25:47]this country what do they do what do they do what do

[25:51]they do they change their name Hamed becomes Mike Ali becomes Alex

[25:57]they are even ashamed of their Islamic names and this is the

[26:03]problem that when we are afraid when we are afraid to teach

[26:12]our religion and if a free country like this country then we

[26:16]should not to blame others yes Ahmed this question kind of elaborates

[26:23]more on what you're talking about it says in your book you

[26:26]mentioned many encounters with political figures what are the struggles with these

[26:31]encounters look the book about my encounters with many political figures but

[26:39]I would like to emphasize one one thing I'm not a politician

[26:47]I'm not politician I'm just a religious figure and the reason I

[26:55]met with those figures political figures and the reason I traveled to

[27:03]Washington is because I was invited and because I'm invited I thought

[27:08]it is a could be a golden opportunity for me to speak

[27:15]to those politicians on Islam now I'm not naive I'm not going

[27:24]to think by 10 minutes of conversation with this politician or that

[27:30]politician will turn them into becoming Muslims no I'm not that naive

[27:41]I'm not delusional but what I know is this that when you

[27:44]have a conversation one and one with someone you got to leave

[27:51]some impact on that person and there's no way that person will

[28:00]not be somehow influenced why because they are human beings this is

[28:05]the nature of us being of human beings we are filled with

[28:11]emotions and feelings and when you talk to me and you talk

[28:14]to him in a nice way you may change a perception I

[28:19]had in my mind about you so in all these events I

[28:26]when I met with political leaders I was trying to accomplish one

[28:30]thing and one thing only to make them better understand Islam and

[28:38]the Muslim Community that was my goal to put them at ease

[28:46]that Muslims are not do not hate America yeah we have a

[28:49]problem with the foreign policy of this country with the biased foreign

[28:55]policy of the United States but in the end American Muslims are

[29:01]loyal citizens they are as patriotic as other people in this country

[29:10]and therefore the politicians have to view them equally like any other

[29:16]citizen in this country and should not disincriminate against Muslims and sometimes

[29:22]it worked sometimes it didn't work sometime it led into a big

[29:26]conversation and I remember one time we met with at that time

[29:34]he was the Attorney General U.S attorney general called John Ashcroft during

[29:40]the time of uh George W bush he asked me about Alucard

[29:49]and I explained to him that Al-Qaeda does not represent Islam those

[29:56]people do not speak for Islam the vast majority of Muslims are

[30:03]peace loving people and Al-Qaeda does not speak for them in another

[30:08]word Al-Qaeda and it is violent Doctrine has nothing to do with

[30:15]us as mainstream Muslims it is a French group that speaks for

[30:21]itself the man looked so puzzled he said really but I thought

[30:24]this is what Muslims believe I said what do you believe he

[30:28]said I thought Muslims believe that it is okay to come to

[30:33]kill non-muslims said really is that what you think he says yes

[30:36]I thought your religion Islam teaches its followers that it is okay

[30:44]to come to kill non-muslims and imagine this is an attorney general

[30:49]he who has so much power in this country and he has

[30:58]so much influence on shaping the policy of this country but yet

[31:04]he doesn't know much about Islam what was your motivation and greatest

[31:13]challenge in writing this book my main motivation as I mentioned earlier

[31:24]is to offer American readers a tool an easy tool for them

[31:33]to understand Islam another source of learning about Islam and I'm sure

[31:39]the book will not change everybody's perspective on Islam but at least

[31:44]it may change some people's perspective especially if they are not so

[31:49]biased and they don't read the book with biased lenses they put

[31:57]their biases aside and read the book objectively I'm sure they it

[32:01]will definitely change I need to repeat that the main goal the

[32:05]main target of this book is not Muslims it is non-muslims the

[32:12]book was targeting non-muslim readers so that was the idea is to

[32:22]introduce Islam in simple words very simple words and it through uh

[32:29]I would say engaging Style on personal level introducing Islam to non-muslim

[32:39]readers would you add anything else to the book almost 20 years

[32:46]later if you wrote it today definitely there are many things I

[32:54]can add to the book because now the more you live in

[33:04]this country the more you get to know the the psyche of

[33:06]American people and how they think and how they view our religion

[33:14]there are many many uh things you can add but I believe

[33:17]the book you know when you're writing a book it is just

[33:22]like watching a movie the more we shouldn't exceed two hours if

[33:27]it goes for three four hours it's not going to be a

[33:32]movie anymore so a book should not exceed two three hundred Pages

[33:36]if it goes beyond in that it could be a troublesome and

[33:43]cumbersome for people to to read so I think the if I

[33:50]would reprint the book I would not make major changes in the

[33:53]book probably some little editing but I leave the book as is

[34:02]this one asks how many books have you wrote how many books

[34:09]I have written so I have written two books in English uh

[34:16]the American acroscent and everyday Muslim guide book but I have written

[34:24]some four or five other books in in Arabic as well so

[34:28]the rest of these questions are kind of just uh Islamic questions

[34:35]outside of the book is that all right okay this one asks

[34:37]when is it really the best time to listen to Quran honestly

[34:44]there is no specific time for you there is no best time

[34:51]for you to listen to the Quran anytime anytime you listen to

[34:55]the Quran it's good I tell some friends who asked me do

[35:03]I have to have wudu no you don't have to have wudu

[35:07]can I listen to the Quran or even read the Quran while

[35:13]I am laying in my bed yeah you can do that it's

[35:17]not Tara anytime you feel like it read the Quran and listen

[35:25]to the Quran I give you a little tip how many of

[35:29]you have cars you drive your own cars how many of you

[35:33]raise your hand please okay almost half of you I'm sure while

[35:42]driving especially you drive in America sometime it takes you an hour

[35:47]to get your destination what do you do when you are driving

[35:51]and doing nothing what do you do I want to hear some

[35:55]answers yes you listen to the Quran this is one way you

[36:09]read the Quran you don't need to always open the Quran and

[36:13]read the Quran you may not have that time the luxury of

[36:18]having the time to read the Quran one way to do that

[36:23]is play the Quran and read with the recital read with the

[36:28]recital of the Quran you don't want to read yourself fine listen

[36:36]you don't understand Arabic listen to it in English there are many

[36:41]uh an hour citations that combines between Arabic and English listen to

[36:49]it in English so every time you're driving you have nothing to

[36:56]do your drive will take you 30 minutes 50 minutes listen to

[37:01]the Quran take advantage of time listen to some lectures now most

[37:08]of you have access to Wi-Fi through your phone plans just like

[37:16]I have right I have Wi-Fi anywhere I go in the US

[37:19]because of my phone plan so while you're driving go to YouTube

[37:26]and listen to an English lecture by hajasanin rajabali by someone take

[37:35]advantage of time don't let time passes without you doing something if

[37:41]you take advantage of the time you spend while you're arriving at

[37:48]your driving you will realize after one year that you could have

[37:52]utilized hours hours hours many hours you could have finished five books

[37:58]re-listening to Five Books while you're driving so one way to listen

[38:06]to the Quran is when you're driving but to ask me what

[38:12]is the best time there is no best time anytime you have

[38:14]the mold to read the Quran it is a good time there's

[38:23]a few more how long do we have how do you help

[38:33]a relative get closer to religion if the dad is not allowing

[38:39]them to seek knowledge and wear hijab one way is by praying

[38:46]for that parent that Allah heal them and guide but I would

[38:59]say if my parents tell me not to wear hijab with all

[39:03]due respect to my parents I'm not obligated to listen to them

[39:08]Allah clearly states in the Quran that when your parents are struggling

[39:18]with you to push you towards a deviant path don't listen to

[39:21]them but be nice to them so if my parents are asking

[39:28]me not to our hijab I don't have to listen to them

[39:31]when my parents tell me not to go and listen to an

[39:36]Islamic lecture I don't have to listen to them I don't have

[39:40]to listen to them do you hear me you don't have to

[39:44]listen to them you still can go and listen to the lecture

[39:48]why because Allah respects your parents as long as they respect Allah

[39:57]if my parents have no respect for Allah Allah has no respect

[40:03]for them therefore he doesn't give them any right over me my

[40:06]parents have right over me as long as they are exercising their

[40:12]rights correctly but the minute they abuse their right their Abu they

[40:18]abuse their their role as a parent I don't have to listen

[40:26]to them I do what I think I need to do when

[40:28]I want to pray I don't need to ask more my prayer

[40:31]for my parents permission because a prayer is Raju hijab learning and

[40:41]getting my self-educated in Islam is wajib no one can stop me

[40:47]from learning on my religion however there are two ways to do

[40:54]that a defiant way an aggressive way or I can do it

[40:59]in a nice way with my parents I'm not inviting anybody to

[41:01]fight with their parents at all but do it nicely do it

[41:07]with respect what are some advice that you can give for give

[41:15]for people trying to get married in the West well they have

[41:22]to listen to a three hour lecture then uh uh but uh

[41:27]if you ask me one tip of advice I would say don't

[41:37]Focus on anything materialistic don't worry about how big your house will

[41:45]be after marriage how many rooms it has don't Focus too much

[41:52]on how luxury your car is don't Focus on things that really

[42:01]have essence meaning when you are trying to establish a family don't

[42:10]be fooled by anything that will not have a real impact on

[42:17]your marriage but focus on the way she talks her manner does

[42:23]she pray or not does she held from a good family or

[42:28]not and vice versa when you are approached by a guy don't

[42:35]be fooled with how many languages he speaks with how much money

[42:40]he has with how many uh bachelor degree he hangs on his

[42:49]his wall rather on his on his mannerism is he a good

[42:52]person or not is he a selfish person or not if he

[42:57]is an arrogant person or not always focus on those values don't

[43:04]be deceived by Things Are not so relevant I said the other

[43:12]day in my Arabic lecture during the arbain and we will take

[43:15]one more questions and we will conclude I said one of the

[43:22]epidemics of our time one of the Epic I'm not joking one

[43:28]of the epidemics of our time is something called Instagram you know

[43:34]why you know why because people many people go to Instagram on

[43:39]my friend's account what do I see beautiful picture look look at

[43:45]the picture they took at uh at the beach in Hawaii wow

[43:51]how nice and you go in your mind thinking that those people

[43:57]are leading the most perfect life but in fact they could be

[44:04]the most miserable people trust me this is a very deceiving device

[44:11]deceiving device you may think that those people are enjoying their honeymoon

[44:18]trust me after this picture was taken many of them were fighting

[44:22]with each other don't be deceived what people put up there ever

[44:30]it's a font many people disguise the real life under those phony

[44:41]pictures they put on Instagram happiness happiness does not come from Instagram

[44:49]to be happy in your life is not with how many people

[44:54]you have on Instagram if you have 50 million followers on Instagram

[44:58]this is no guarantee that you will have a happy life but

[45:04]if you are content with what Allah has given you I assure

[45:06]you you will be happy even if you don't have 50 million

[45:12]people following you on Instagram or on Twitter one more question and

[45:16]we conclude how can we give dawa an appropriate manner my dear

[45:26]brothers and sisters the best way to do dawa to invite non-muslims

[45:35]to Islam is by behaving as a Muslim as simple as that

[45:39]the grandson of the Prophet says invite people to Islam not necessarily

[45:50]through your tongue through your own personal conduct and for Islam is

[45:59]to act as a Muslim as a true Muslim be honest be

[46:05]trustworthy be humble do exactly what the prophet would do you know

[46:12]how Christians say what if Christians was uh Jesus was there what

[46:19]he would do what the prophet does if he were in Europe

[46:23]situation you know the prophet attracted millions of people through what through

[46:31]what through the clock through his demeanor through his humility very simple

[46:39]when he goes to the market and he sees a woman struggling

[46:45]to carry her load an elderly woman struggling to carry her load

[46:53]and he would approach her and he would offer his help to

[46:57]take her load remember this is the messenger of Allah offering a

[47:01]pagan a pagan a female pagan to take her Lord to her

[47:10]house simply because she's an elderly woman when she goes when she

[47:14]gets to her house she turns to the prophet and she says

[47:16]look my son there is no way for me to pay you

[47:23]off but I want to pay you off with giving you one

[47:27]small advice he says yes yes ma'am go ahead and tell me

[47:30]she says there is a guy a magician in our town named

[47:38]Muhammad just make sure he doesn't play with your mind Prophet Muhammad

[47:44]Smiles at her and he says have you met Muhammad he says

[47:49]no I have not I heard about Muhammad he says yeah foreign

[48:01]by being humble by being nice by being kind by being kind

[48:09]you will attract people to your religion thank you so much for

[48:13]listening my dear brothers and sisters I hope I have not wasted

[48:17]your time and please forgive me for any shortcoming thank you for

[48:23]giving me this opportunity to share some thoughts about American Crescent I
