you're good three o'clock in the morning what's up so i'm like bro i need to become a muslim he was like what do you mean boy i said i've just watched a video bro it's just confirmed it for me but please take me now like congo but i need to be a muslim in it assalamu alaikum people welcome back to another episode of streets to dean don't forget to leave a comment down below like share subscribe more good my bro yourself good to be here yeah excited good to have you man it's good to have you would you like to introduce yourself please yeah so i'm ben um i've been a muslim ten months and i'm from manchester um ten months yeah ten months i'm a baby brother yeah um what's your ethnicity so i'm white british fully fully uh born in the uk sick man but um yeah just go straight in my bro tell us a bit about your childhood you know growing up in manchester so growing up growing up in manchester obviously i i grew up in a very uh like asian muslim populated area okay so still to this day i'm like the only white person on our street hyundai labor it's beautiful you know so i've always grew up around the brotherhood uh me and my brother was the only two white kids in the school uh you know we never ever like got any racism nothing like i was always you know welcomed with opened arms yeah what was the area called wernher oldham growing up as a kid um you know i was i was never like you know always in the house it was always out with the brothers you know and it was weird growing up because obviously we didn't know nothing about religion religion i was never there was never really any religion in my house my dad's a christian but not practicing a nun um she was a christian but she'd only go to church on a sunday or christmas eve stuff like that you know normal yeah but i always knew about islam because obviously all the boys all my boys are you know muslims so obviously like when we're playing football and it comes to about four o'clock and they're all getting off going to a mosque and i'm like what are you doing boys we're in the middle of the game do you know what i'm saying so i'm like i've always grew up around islam um but you know as you get a little bit older you start getting into the wrong crowds you know you start taking a few drugs getting it out there man you know what i'm saying so i had a bit of a shaky upbringing um my mum bless her like she's you know she always tried to keep me away from the bad but the people that you chill with you know they influence you a little bit more do you know what i'm saying so you start getting into a little bit of crime you know what i'm saying uh the streets grab you man follow we'll get into that we'll get into that definitely um yeah like let's say for example like childhood inca in terms of like a primary school yeah yeah what were you like what type of kid was your kid uh i went to six different primary schools bro yeah man i got kicked out of many primary schools even secondary schools i went to four different secondary schools yeah i was a naughty kid bro yeah it was just authority man i couldn't couldn't deal with authority man like don't tell me what to do that's literally it man well yeah when i went to a few different schools it got to a point where my mum had to sit in the school for an hour a day that's all i was doing was one hour a day watching me like it's just so like if i kicked off you know she was there sorry i'm on so that was pr primary and secondly yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and then obviously i went to like a mainstream school and um what they call it down in mayans is like a behavioral school okay so once i got kicked out of four four secondary schools nobody wanted me you know what i'm saying so i had to go to like a behavioral school okay uh and i spent my last uh from year eight year 11 there did all my gcses there and not okay okay you think that was that was better for you or yeah definitely bro because like in in a mainstream school you've got you know 30 kids in a class you get me whereas in my school there's only 30 kids in the whole school okay so you had like a like a session like one-on-one sessions with her with a teacher or there was only four kids in the class you know what i'm saying so for me the way i learned it was more you know like active you know what i'm saying so i wasn't really academic you know what i'm saying so only having the four kids in the class was a lot easier for me to learn you know what i'm saying so when i went to that school that's when i got my head down a little bit and realized like you know you need to chill out a little bit now bro you know i'm saying college is next and that yeah but subhanallah man like like say that's that school saved me a little bit man yeah i forgot to ask you at the beginning how old are you i'm 24 24 yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah still a baby man yeah we were still babies so um okay so that was in school you're saying that you had a bit of you was causing a bit of trouble and all that type of stuff but um outside of school yeah what did you used to get up to kind of thing so teenage years yeah teenagers um it started off alright you know like obviously i was i was big in sports football i played national level for football and basketball okay so i was i was lucky in that respect um but then obviously i say around year seven you know you start start looking into people start smoking things around you and drinking things around you and obviously you are you know you're interested bro you're you're a youth man so yeah you're trying to like look into these things and it got to a point where i'd say around year seven yeah after your three year seven year eight where you know crime did actually come into my life quite a lot and to be able to afford these things that the elders are walking around with you know what i mean the the freshest crepes you know what i'm saying we had to get moneyball and being in year seven the only way to get money is you know on the streets bro so i got into i got into crime quite quite early man yeah man yeah i started started smoking in year seven that's like 13 in it yeah 13 12 13 yeah because i was like the oldest in the year so i was like 12 you know what i'm saying where everyone else was like was like 13 you know what i'm saying so i was like the youngest in the air man okay okay that's a lie do you want to walk us through some of the things you've experienced like while using that life and yeah so obviously as you said as you know man like to be able to to get money on the streets you know you've got to sell the food man you know sleeping in bandos stuck for the la man um but yeah man so we was we was from from from monday to sunday man like literally sleeping in these rough places man you know protecting what we had um still going to school yeah of course still going to school in it because obviously i had to keep it up for my mum man yeah bless the heart man like obviously i wanted to you know make her obviously it was more like not getting a worried yeah you know what i mean like thinking that or you know miss one's not going to come on one day where that could have happened bro spanish didn't but you know i had to keep up that that image of you know i'm still my mum's bye man you know what i'm saying so yeah man we got we got we got into quite a madness you know partying bundles all that stuff man so subhanallah my night it was it was a lot easier as well because my brothers i've got an elder brother okay and he was never when really went down that path all right he was always sports crazy bro so he was like playing like a high level of football high level of basketball so he always used to try you know bring me back to it but what fittings you know what i'm saying yeah you're fitting with the boys are you chilling with so you're always you're always on the on them streets man it was hard man it was hard but subhanallah so like um after secondary school and after going through this like you said you went to college yeah yeah i went to college i did uh i did three years in college first uh sports diploma yeah um when i went to college i'd say just my first year in college i was still a little bit like you know a bit a little bit iffy with the still doing the street life but trying to get academically as well and i'd say more second year into college i calmed down a lot like i i still had to come away from the streets i started going back into you know my football my basketball what was the reason it was more like like sammy brother who was in the same college as me um so obviously i'm only like two years younger than my brother so when i started college he was in the last year of college okay so that first year was a little bit iffy but like towards the last of the year like he just you know elder brother man like told me you need to you need to step up not for your sake but for mum's sake for dad's sake do you know what i mean so it was more it's more around college you you start becoming around a bit better crowds crowds that you know you want to go somewhere in life yeah you know what i'm saying so then yeah definitely bro so then you start seeing like what like the life that you're living in is is like it's temporary i'm saying like these boys if i ever go to to pen you know these boys are not gonna come visit me you know what i'm saying these boys don't really care about about or you know i mean they just care about the money and the materialistic things in life um so my brother my brother was a very good like role model in my life bro yeah analyze he pulled me away from from that stuff has an older brother should didn't it yeah 100 so um talk us through like what actually then led you into islam because like you said uh before finding islam you you'd really sort of move started moving away from the street life so what are the events that led you to then finding islam so finding his lambo is a bit of a madness because i i've never ever like um believed in a creator yeah never not once like obviously my dad would tell me like you know like he's a christian and you know g talk about jesus and mary and you know like and it was just to me it was just like like it didn't really make sense do you know what i mean like how can somebody create what i'm saying i believed in the big bang bro okay so that was the thing subhanallah that that that pushed me into islam so not even once you never even just thought there was a higher power or anything it was i was i was a naive kid you know what i mean so it was like it was like we're here and you know this is the only life we've got so i'm going to live this life and i'm going to make money this life and i'm going to you know what i'm saying so it was never like oh there's something greater and i never sat there not even for a second bro like it's crazy man it was literally like i say the big bang bang maria yeah if anybody ever said to me like oh what do you believe and it's like the big bang yeah do you hear me we're your man that's it yeah i'm saying don't talk to me about religion bro take your religion elsewhere man yeah i'm saying i never believed in it bro i thought it was like somewhat for for us humans to grasp of just to take us to the end of life okay yeah that makes sense just something to believe in yeah man just just just sum it to get us through the through the days you know what i'm saying yeah because this dunya is awful man so i feel like it was just religion was somewhat just put in place by man okay so to purify our hearts until the end of time bro that was it yeah that's all i thought it was man yeah um and it wasn't until um i'd say around about a year ago um so you're 23 this time yeah i'm 23 this time yeah and um i met i met um well i've known him for a very long time like he went to school in that but i lost connection with him he went to prison and stuff like um and he come out a very highest man like um he was praying all his prayers you know even doing the sunnahs even you know doing everything man like that was his background like english as well yeah no no he's he's a he's a pakistani brother okay um and he and he he was he was literally just the same as me bro you know growing up he was doing the same things we were sleeping in the same band those you know what i'm saying and then when he went to prison like he met a few brothers in there that brought him back to islam and and you know got him back on his deed yeah and when i was 23 i i i remember seeing him and i remember as it was like you know this comb over with a fresh fresh fade you know what i'm saying nice little beard and i put nothing too good bro when i was 23 i seen him and he went yes ben and i'm looking at him and i'm thinking who's this guy my man had long hair big beard sat in a jubber to get what i'm saying so i'm looking at him thinking oh he's this man like yo what beef beef bee i'm saying and then he said joyce it's hackie bro may allah blessed his brother man he got me into his landman um and he was like oh he's active bro and i was like wow like subhanallah like wow yeah i couldn't believe it but and i was like what's happened because like and he was telling me you know i've come back to my religion and stuff and even then times when i was 23 i was like obviously it must be doing something for the man you know what i'm saying because this man what two years ago was was you know all about the street life all about materialistic things getting about in the best whips you know i had the best clothes you know i looked up to this man even though he's my age yeah i wanted to be like this guy you know what i'm saying so i was chasing that and then to see him as a pious pious muslim was like it was crazy bro honestly it was crazy so it made me think bro and that was the day i went back and i started learning about islam and and um i stopped though bro i'm not gonna lie like i was look i was researching it for a good three four months hard like hard like every day i was on it like dr zadek knight multi mink you know all these channels on fate on on youtube and um it was it was i seen someone on the news about isis yeah and i was like all right i don't want i don't want to be a part of this no more you know i'm going to stop looking into religion and then from then i was like yeah it's just a man-made thing again and i got pulled away from it again bro and then it wasn't until i lost my nana um my god bless the soul man um she she she was a christian um but before she died she said to me she says find god she said don't don't go to any religion like specifically don't you know search have a look you know have a look at the different religions but please ben find god and that was on her deathbed bros panel what i mean while she was really ill man so i made it my my life journey to to look into religion and islam i stayed away from it because i felt like i already knew enough about it not to be in it and i started looking into christianity and i started going to church and um it got to a point where i was i was like some things don't they don't match up you know what i'm saying like the trinity and stuff like this and i started asking my priest like what about this you know what about this what about that yeah and he's like he said to me i remember he looks at me he goes do you believe i said well i'm not sure yeah he said well just believed to ask questions so i'm thinking what like i'm trying to i'm trying to believe but you're not giving me enough you're just telling me to believe but where's the evidence you know what i'm saying bro and then that's when i've seen this and i've seen this brother it was the the day before telugu uh day before ramadan um and i've seen him again and he uh i've just been on the session from the night before stuff for the lion i was actually on the way to the shop to get myself a red bull try and get the energies back up and um he says to me oh ben my night you're looking rough because i looked at him i was like oh nice one bro not seeing you in a time but safe oh nice one for that he's like no honestly bro go get a shower i want you to come moscow me yeah and it's like i was like come on don't do this to me yeah he was like please bill do it for me in it so i was like all right bro give me half an hour i'll come back i went in got a shower um uh noah's a lie actually sorry um he said come mosque with me and i didn't end up going that day because uh my name was still still um possible yeah no she just passed so it was still quite you know my nan was staying my mum was staying at my nan's house because i lived in so it was still quite fresh and i said to him look i'll come tomorrow which was uh the first day of of ramadan um so this was the day before so we said to tell you what bro when you're ready come out and we'll go for some food so we went for some food and he just told me the basics you know about obviously who prophet muhammad is he's the blessing to be upon him um and just basically a little bit about the religion nothing too much you know just a little bit just giving darwin and so i was a little bit interested bro because obviously i remember every every time every time he was telling me something in the back of my mind it was my nan saying you're looking to look into it look into it and uh subhanallah uh the next day i said i rang him up and i said come on i'll come on bro and it was terui time and i didn't know what this was bro you know what i'm saying i've never been to a mosque before bro so i remember i remember going down we go to the mosque all these brothers are looking at me like i was smiling at me but like welcoming me slamming me and i'm like i already know how to say it because obviously i grew up around the muslims but i didn't know like why i'm like why is everyone being so nice to me people offering me food offering me money bro yeah so i'm saying i'm thinking wow these these brothers are sick i'm gonna come here more often bro give me your money bro you know what i'm saying so i remember man like he told me to take my shoes off i looked at him like why haven't i got to take my shoes off because he was like obviously that where we praying is you know he's clean we've got to put a head down on that so i was like all right yeah fair play so subhanallah i remember this man like it gets me a little bit shaky man like we walked in in it all these brothers are slamming me uh we go to the top floor because terui was packed absolutely packed with these like four floors through this mosque and every floor was packed bro first day i took a wee man and i remember going all the way to the top floor thinking wow man look how many people are here man all these people believe in a god man and then there's just me little me in the back like and i was like there must be a reason man there must be a reason and then obviously in telugu for the people that don't know they read the quran from from the back you know so it started and all of a sudden i hear this uh who's with sutanna regina i'm thinking oh what's going on here and boom as soon as the brother started reciting bro within 10 seconds while i started crying i started crying my heart was warming i was shaking you know and then within 10 minutes bro these tears are just streaming i'm trying to stop in it i'm trying to stop i'm stood at the back bro you get me like i even put i had a quran bro yeah and i was holding the quran and i i remember just like dropping the quran but i remember he said don't put it on the floor so i i was just that shocked i dropped the quran and i realized i was like oh you know i've picked the crown up but he's a streaming bro like i have no expression on my face but tears are streaming bro and whatever this brother's saying like i don't understand it but it's hurt it's hitting me man you know what i'm saying and it's warm in my heart up i'm getting goose bumps you know and subhanallah and i remember um this brother looking back at me and like he looks at me in it and and and he starts crying man and he he come over to me in it after he through terry obviously after he'd done his tent yeah he come over to me he's like just give me a cuddle and he didn't say nothing but just give me a cuddle and then he went back and started praying again in it and i was like wow man like i wanted to get out yeah but at the same time there was something keeping me there yeah so i mean i just wanted to run bro i'm not gonna lie i was just like what's going on yeah why am i crying why why am i feeling like this and and i just wanted to get out but i stayed man and i stayed till the end of terui and i was still crying i was still crying and and a lot of brothers were coming up to me saying you know are you looking into islam and i was like brother please just leave me alone a minute man i don't know i don't know what i'm feeling yeah and um i remember like this brother coming back up to me and saying bro man like seeing you cry them and like you've done something to me bro i want you to i want you to come back with me tomorrow in it and i was like okay okay okay we'll see where i go and so went downstairs we had to talk with the iman he gave me a few books you know to read give me a few people to search on youtube to read yeah um [Music] but yeah man that's basically how how like that feeling bro like that feeling i had in that moment i've never felt before in my life and i've got kids bro yeah yeah and and obviously that having my kids is the best day of my life obviously all three of them but um that day there was no other feeling like it bro like the the warmth everything man just it's mad you say that because like that just confirms what we already know that the quran even reciting in arabic here you might not understand it but it will it's the healing for the heart you know what i'm trying to say hearing your story just makes it even stronger for us it was beautiful man it was beautiful man so how long after that experience like then say yeah i want to become a muslim so after that like there was something in me in it that that's like like i said i always had i always had my man's voice in the back of my head saying keep going keep going keep going so it was about i read these books that the iman gave me and for a full week straight like literally from from the minute i woke up bro to the minute i went to sleep i was watching video after video after video and um i remember it was like by this time but i was already fasting in it i told my brother i told the brother this hockey brother i said i'm going to start fasting because i need to get all these toxins out of my body anyway you know what i'm saying um and i'd already fast twice before this because like i said i i chilled with the muslim brothers i already know what it was about a little bit um and the second day i started praying bro like i did i wasn't a muslim but i started praying i went back to the mosque on my own bro just walked in and the brothers was there and they said i asked one of them i said can can you show me what to do and he was like you're muslim i said no i'm not yeah i just want to feel i want to see what i go on i want to see if it feels right so the second day i started praying uh second day of ramadan i started praying before i was a muslim and the first time i went down into sudude i i i remember literally thinking it's like some somewhat somewhat fitting perfect like something feels right you know what i'm saying from from going to there to there to down on to you know putting your head to the floor like somewhat felt right someone clicked yeah so i was like right so much someone's alright here man so what i did then i just prayed to once you know and i went home started researching again and it was this one video i remember um it was uh the miracles and the sciences behind the quran yeah i'm born the first thing was the big bang yeah and i was like yo like this is what i believe in you know this this is what i've been saying for all these years the big bang like this is this is me man and um i remember watching it and i was like nah nah this can't be true so i went onto another video uh another sciences behind the quran and stuff like that and i was like wow subhanallah and um he said don't worry about i've got you i've got you um and i remember meeting him the next day and it was actually another brother said like are you sure you're ready in it and he was putting doubts in my mind bro yeah he was like are you sure you're ready you sure you're knowing it i was like bro come on man i need i need this now don't please don't play bro and um i remember saying i tell you what i said i'll tell you what i said i want to take my shahadah but i'm going to do it in the last 10 days of ramadan i remember i remember saying that so i went to moscow again did say i'm on the way back and the iman come up to me and said did you say he was ready to take to isha i said yeah he said why you took it yeah i said because i'm going to do a bit more research he said do you believe that prophet muhammad was the last and final prophet because he was basically upon him i said i said yeah yeah yeah i believe that and he said do you believe in allah being the only one one god and i said yeah i believe that and he said then don't don't don't wait bro yeah you know we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow yeah you know what i'm saying you you could be walking home now and you know something bad could happen you know and uh i i remember him saying that to me and i looked at my brother akib and i said well let's do it man i'm saying and i remember the imam saying to everyone come on come back everyone come back this brother wants me to take his shahadah so i'm thinking i'm thinking yo all these brothers are involved it's terrible it's packed yeah you get me so i'm thinking wow these brothers man like subhanallah and i remember um i i was sat at the front of the masjid and uh he you know he does the shahada and i remember obviously being growing up as a non-muslim allahu akbar was to me what people said before they yeah you know what i'm saying so obviously but i've said my heart um and all i've heard was i'm like what's going on bro woah [Music] i remember that man but obviously obviously after i knew what it meant you know what i'm saying so and i just remember all these brothers coming up to me saying i want to take you for food you know giving me cuddles giving me salams i want to take you here you know please accept my money you know would make dua for me make the wife and me make the why for me i didn't know what dua was but i'm like yeah yeah yeah nobody's bro you know what i'm saying and then um from that day man like i just made it i just made it my my my goal to to start praying man straight away like obviously um i didn't know about the five pillars of islam yeah you know all i knew is that i wanted to pray and i wanted to to thank him for putting it into my heart you know what i'm saying and and yeah man i just remember every day after from then like i was fasting i was praying all the prayers you know ramadan doing it in ramadan as well was was beautiful bro man it was subhanallah everyone because obviously in ramadan everyone's coming together you know you've got people bringing you food this and that and once everyone found out i was a muslim as well bro i was like a celebrity on the street you know what i'm saying and uh subhanallah i remember man it was it was beautiful it was beautiful that's a beautiful story man subhanallah um yeah you said what so you've been muslim for 10 months 10 months 10 months what would you say was um firstly what was the hardest thing you said you'd have to get you had to give up yeah so i was i was a big blazer in it behind i smoked a lot of weed bro like it was it was my coping mechanism yeah yeah so obviously when i first become a muslim um you know mel forgive all the brothers but you know i was getting told you can't do this you can't do that you can't do this you can't do that and there's a new muslim bro i'm thinking all these rules already yeah that's what i pray bro yeah i just want to tell i love him you know what i'm saying and um i remember and i was like he said to me you know you can't be smoking weed no more bro and i was like you know it's a blessing in disguise bro but quitting my bad habits from literally a day you know what i mean i've gone from one day of drinking smoking you know me meeting girls you know you know just doing all this haram so then what in one day not being able to do nothing yeah so seeing that that was hard for me because i didn't have the support around me where people was like he's into it bro you know chill man it's a journey take your own journey so for me quitting everything in one day was like going cool turkey bro so as well as i'm trying to search into islam and find my own path into islam it was it was like i was cold turkey in my body yeah do you know what i'm saying so that that to me was probably the hardest thing bro just just quitting all the all the haram that was in my life because it would literally happened in a day yeah man subhanallah you know you know thank allah for it man because he put it in my heart and it gave me a reason to quit yeah um subhanallah but yeah that would probably be the hardest for me now man i'll keep you firm up bro i mean i mean and uh yeah how would you say like um your family first took it when you become muslim so your brother your mom yeah so me brother i mean like my brother was the first person i told okay um he he knew the shahada bro like oh yeah he was like what have you are you gonna are you looking into most like being a muslim i was like yeah and he was like and i was like yeah well what you what you just said it was like that's just how do you know that but obviously like say we grew up around was his best friend is a muslim you know what i'm saying so um so tell i told my brother i was like brother i'm looking into it what should i tell mum he was like tell her bro man like you know i mean she'll love you anyway so i remember i sat my mum down and i said mum look um i'm looking into islam and she went all right no worries just don't join isis that's what i'm saying but this is the media bro that's what i'm saying and this is why we're out here boys bless you guys for doing this man yeah so i remember i just remember saying this look son whatever whatever you you want to be man i'm here for you you know what i'm saying just don't join isis that was it yeah when you said your older brother already knew about islam so have you ever tried giving him down all the time bro all the time obviously he's uh he always says i always like you know say certain things that i'll learn if i learn something new about islam i'll tell him yeah and he's like yeah yeah it sounds alright and i remember bro um about two weeks into me being a muslim i caught him watching a video so i swear bro and um he turned it off quick in it i know i didn't say nothing in it and i just left it and i thought you know subhanallah guys i mean you know what i'm saying and and he knows quite a lot man he already knew who the prophet was yeah um it sounds like it's only a matter of time in seance allah yeah man so all my family took it really good bro you know my sisters my brother my dad not one of them had a bad word to say about it bro but i'm lucky like that man i was very lucky like i know a lot of brothers and sisters out there are not that lucky man you know what i'm saying so subhanallah for that so how would you say like overall islam's changed your life wow um overall bro it's it's i'd say obviously i was always you know a nice person my character was always right you know i'd never disrespect anybody if you show me respect i'll show you respect i was always like that but in in the in the sense of like spirit spirituality the spirit spiritually yeah um like it changed me massively like like i said like it felt like my my heart was dead bro you know what i'm saying before i've come to islam like i'd do anything for anybody but for self-love for myself i was at a point where i was like um i don't want this man i don't want to be here don't want this life you know it was rather to a point where somebody was going to hurt me really bad because i owed a lot of money out yeah or i was going to kill myself with drugs or even just take my own life anyway bro so islam changed me like say spirit spiritually um massively like as soon as as soon as i took my shahada man like you'll see on the video of my heart and my my face lit up like my heart was pure you know so it got to it got to a point where i was like um like wanted to be here again i had a purpose of life yeah you know my purpose was to it was to serve allah you know and and and it changed me a lot in that aspect bro i just want to touch upon one thing you said it like before islam when you didn't even believe in god or you didn't know about a higher purpose than that yeah yeah he said your heart felt dead in it dead bro but you know in the quran it says something like very lean the remembrance of allah do hearts find peace you know what i'm saying so a lot of people are walking around all depressed and everything they don't realize that they need islam because without knowing your purpose in life you're empty but empty because you don't have a purpose bro and that's what mine was i didn't have a purpose to be here so i'm saying and when i found out that this life was just a test yeah that's what clicked for me bro and i was like no wonder so many people are depressed you get me you know what i'm saying like everyone needs his lambo so honestly bro subhanallah it's beautiful yeah man like coming towards the end of it yeah but i always ask her two questions here uh firstly like what's one advice you would give to like any non-muslim who might not know about islam or might be looking into islam but doesn't know where to start like what advice would you give to a normal i'd give advice to non-muslim boys is don't don't you know like always take your your own like question everything man question everything it even tells in this in the quran to question everything about you know what i mean and and don't come to it and and get one opinion of summer and think right that's that's the right opinion you know get get multiples opinions and everything if you've got a question whatever question that is ask one brother ask another brother ask a mufti ask ask you know ask ask as many people as you can and and take your own journey man don't don't just read summer and think that's it yeah you know because islam is betrayed in so many different ways and and if you get the wrong way you're not going to come towards islam you know what i'm saying i'll always always ask questions man ask as many questions as you want one you know what i'm saying 100 100 so don't just blind follow jesus don't blind follow yeah yeah yeah yeah always be inquisitive man always be inquisitive and lastly like what advice would you give to any muslims out there who might be struggling to pray or struggling to follow islam properly you've always got to remember that allah is the best of planners and allah will put put things in in your life to testible and it will also open doors you know and you've got to run through them doors man you can't just expect him to open the door for you and you just sit there and watch this door open it won't be a testament exactly you know what i'm saying so from for non-muslims and i mean for reverse unborn muslims if you're struggling with your mind man you've got to remember that he puts you through trials and tribulations he's going to do that because he loves us you know he says that he loves us 70 times more than our own mother so he's going to test you bro and and you've got you've got to sit you know you've got to sit down and realize that this life is just a test man and for allah to put us through tests you know he loves us man and trusting it trusting his plan you know if you're a man's a little bit low it's a test bro you know what i'm saying and that's what that's that's what brought me back to praying because i was like okay allah's just testing me you know you know he's checking if i'm genuine yeah do you know what i'm saying bro and like i say man that like that's that's what made me come back to islam i was like okay okay he's testing me now you know and i'm going to prove to him yeah you know and that's what made me come back to islam brother and one thing so our brother said to me as well which stuck to me and i try and tell born muslims and reverses we're not here to please the creation brother we're to please the creator bro exactly subhanallah and that's what that that's what i stick by you know and and alhamdulillah man like i say you get tested bro but he's testing you because he loves you man trusting his plan man trusting his plan i you want to say to the people wrap this up you know just i want to say like obviously um like i say these brothers doing this you know may allah bless you his brother's man because it's important to get our stories out there and if you're a reaver or even if you're if you're if you're a born muslim man you know get your stories out there you know and and if you see a non-muslim come to islam and and you know you see him and he's struggling or even if he's not struggling you know always help him man and and you know we're brothers in islam man you get what i'm saying and the brotherhood is my my favorite thing about about islam and like i've come here this weekend you brothers have absolutely been amazing you know we get on amazing and um i just want to say you know like i say like if if if somebody comes to islam don't tell them what they can and can't do man you know what i'm saying like that because what that's what i got toward and push me away from islam teach them how to pray you know tell them facts about they know the beauty is around islam you know like always help and don't and don't and don't criticize me don't criticize don't judging it you know what i'm saying bro and that's that's something that pushed me away from islam so i want to get that out there because you know it's important man if if you're giving a non-muslim or a river the wrong information it's going to push us away bro we're scared it's a scary thing coming to illinois i've changed my life but yeah man just just be patient with new muslims man you know they might say things or they might still do things that's that's still not islam you can't be like can't do that you know just advise them everyone's on a journey man we're all on our journey even born muslims are on journeys bro and and you know you've just got to help each other definitely as well as my brother ben any time hello
