Wow, man, you look like you're born in the Bronx, bro. How you doing, man?
I'm good, I'm good. What about you?
You're Muslim already? Yeah, I'm from Egypt. About you?
Um, well, here one here. No, no, you Muslim or what? Oh, come on, man. You two got to get on the game, bro. Do you believe in God? You believe in one God, not three?
No, not three.
You two. All right, good, good. One God. So you believe that God sent us prophets like Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus, and Muhammad? So you're Muslim, bro. What you talking about? I'm not Muslim, bro. That's what a Muslim. You a Muslim, right? You believe in one God, you believe in the prophets. You believe one God, you believe in the prophets. What you waiting for? Let's do this, man. Be, be official Muslim. You ready?
What you worried about? Stop panicking. No, no, no. I got you. What you worried about, bro? You about people? You think people are going to help you in the Hereafter?
I don't know. Just being, I don't know. It just feels like I'm not being like, like I'm being disloyal.
What disloyal to what? I don't know. By religion? What religion? Uh, Christianity.
All right. So think about it. In Christianity, do you believe Jesus is God?
Yes.
Well, I thought you said there's only one God, you feel me? I mean, think about it. If what you're going to believe doesn't make sense, why would you believe it, right? Like, do you think God knows everything? Right? But in the Bible, it says Jesus didn't know the hour, right? I mean, I'll show it to you. I got a Bible. Believe I've seen you. So people, that's all right, man. Let them be comfortable with it, bro. The Bible, right? Not something I made, right? Mhm. You go to Mark. Mhm. 13:32. Read it for me.
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
Think about that, right? What does it say? Who? Jesus, they say is the Son of God, right? But it says the son doesn't know the hour. Only the Father. Only the God above. So if the God above is the only one that knows, and you just said God knows everything, how can Jesus be God? Doesn't make sense, right? Let's try something else, right? Read for me, right?
"God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind."
So it says God is not a man, nor the son of man, right? What does it say here?
"For there is no one..."
Oh, I mean, yeah. "For there is no, uh, there is there is one God and the mediator, mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
So earlier it said God is not a man, right? And here it says there's only one God, and then there's a mediator, a messenger between God and man, the man Jesus Christ. So how can Jesus be God? The Bible is clearly saying he's a man, and the Bible is clearly saying God can't be a man. That make sense to you?
Yeah.
Right. So as Muslims, we love Jesus, right? What did Jesus do? He put his forehead on the ground and he prayed, you know that, right? In the Bible, right? And then he went a little further and fell on his face. He put his forehead on the ground and prayed. You seen a Muslim pray? Yes. We put our forehead on the ground. You've been to church? Oh, yes. Do they put their forehead on the ground?
No, no.
So who's really following Jesus? We are. I got you. And cheat sheet on that one, bro. You feel me? Does that make sense, right? We love Jesus. We love Abraham. We love Moses. We love all the prophets. We follow them. But you see priests out here molesting little boys? That's not what Jesus taught us. You see preachers out here talking about Hallelujah and doing backflips? That's not what Jesus taught us. Talk about speaking in tongues. You, you go to church, they talk about speaking in tongues. I used to go to church, I'm telling you, I know, right? They be in church like speaking in tongues. When the Bible talks about speaking in tongues, it speaks to the people, people understanding them, speaking the languages of all the people. A miracle, right? But that's not what these people are doing. They're not truly following Jesus. They're following themselves, their desires, right? But as Muslims, we submit to the one Creator. We believe in Abraham. We believe in Moses. We believe in Jesus. We believe in Muhammad. You're not betraying anybody. You're being true to those two prophets, their true message. Doesn't that make sense?
Yes.
So to be a Muslim, bro, all right, let's do this. Do you believe there's one God?
Yes.
You believe that only God should be worshipped, not Jesus, not Muhammad, not an idol? Does that make sense?
Do you believe that too?
Yes.
All right. Do you believe that that God sent prophets? As we just saw, Jesus being a mediator, a prophet of God, right? Let me show you something else, right? Read it for me.
"And when he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, 'Who is this?'"
So the multitude said, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee."
So the people in the time of Jesus, his followers, when they were asked, "Who is this?" What did they say? Who is he?
"He's a prophet."
Prophet. He didn't say, "This is God," right? Does that make sense to you? Let me give you some more, man, just for fun. All right.
Go ahead.
"And it happened as he was alone praying that his disciples joined him, and he asked them, saying, 'The crowd say that I am—'"
So they answered and said, "John. Others say that one of the old prophets has risen again."
"And he said to them, 'But then who do you say that I am?'"
"Peter answered and said, 'The Christ of God.'"
You see, at the time of Jesus, when the people were saying, some were saying he's John the Baptist, something he's one of the old prophets, right? So he asked his follower, "What do you say?" So Peter said, "You are the Christ of God. You are the Messiah of God. You are the messenger of God." Not that you are God. So his own followers are saying he's a messenger, right? But now people be saying Jesus is God. But then Jesus prayed to God. So how many gods would you have then? Two. And then you got the Holy Spirit. So how many gods would you have now? But you don't believe in three gods, right? You believe in only one God. I, you're Muslim, bro. Let's do this. You ready?
Why not? You should just give him some time so he can learn more about Islam.
Take all the time you want. But what I'm asking is, what are you waiting for? Hey, you know about Islam. You got Muslim friends, right? You seen them pray, you seen them fast, you seen them do good things, right? Right. All right, good guys, right? All right. Yep. So what about Islam will hold you back? I mean, be comfortable, relax. Ask your questions, man. Just, you brought up like a lot of great points and like, I can't, and you asked me like some questions that like make me question, oh, do I actually know this? And I don't. But I think that's mostly on me, 'cause I don't really pay attention to Sunday school.
No, forget Sunday school. I want to know. What's your name?
Yui.
Yui, yeah. I want to know what Yui believes in your heart. Do you believe there's one God?
One God.
And when I tell you that that one God sent us prophets like Jesus, who prayed to that one God, Yui, does that make sense to you?
Yeah.
What's your name, bro?
Daniel.
Daniel, mhm. Daniel, does that make sense in your heart? That's all I care about. Sunday school can teach you whatever, Saturday school can teach you whatever, Friday school. But that's not what I'm about. What's reality is, you see from the own your own Bible that Jesus was a prophet, he prayed to God, his followers saw him as a prophet, right? You see that in your heart that makes more sense? So my question is, right, no pressure. Like, I don't get paid for this, right? What I'm saying is, why wouldn't you be a Muslim? Imagine you're going to be praying the way the prophet prayed, Prophet Jesus, right? We talked about that earlier, peace be upon him. You're going to love Jesus just as we all love Jesus, right? You're going to love Muhammad as we love Muhammad, peace be upon him. You're going to love all Abraham, Moses, all of them. You're not losing anything. You're gaining reality, right? So doesn't that make sense, right? And if it makes sense, why not, right? I'm here from Cali. I'm flying out today. I'm going to the UK, and then I'm going to the Caribbean. I'm going to be out, like, yeah, we had eight yesterday, alhamdulillah. Yeah, alhamdulillah accepted. But the whole point is, is not about converting. It's about people like you getting connected with your Creator. Forget what they try to lie to you in Sunday church or all that kind of nonsense that they try to push to make money off you. Forget all that. The reality as a Muslim, when you pray, who do you pray to? Allah. Allah, directly, right? You don't have to go to a priest and be like, "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned," and all that nonsense, right? So isn't that beautiful, right? So why not do it? This is to be Muslim. This is what you do. They, "I bear witness that is none worthy of worship except one God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is a servant and messenger of God." He's not God, he's just a messenger. Do you believe that already?
Yeah.
So that's it. If you believe it, testify to it, right? Like if I tell you it's two and two is four, do you believe that? Right? Then I'm like, "I testify to it." You're like, "No, I don't know about that." Right? If you already got the belief, say it, right? Don't be shy. Nobody's going to look. Your family, you don't have to tell them. You can take your time. You got Muslim friends, they can teach you more. You can ask more questions. When you're ready, you can tell them, you feel me? Yeah. Everybody's got sins, everybody's got issues. You're going to struggle with. But the most important thing is for you to recognize who your Creator is and to submit to Him. And that's what the Shahada is. So let's do it, man. You ready?
Right now?
Right now. No time like the present.
What if you get killed tonight? Get hit by a bus?
I pray that doesn't happen. I pray that doesn't happen either. I haven't even read the whole Bible yet. I want to like read both the Quran and the Bible. All right. I want to do that first and make my decision.
Go for it. No problem with that. But what my question is, I can show you a hundred mistakes in the Bible right now, right? Right. So what, what are you going to wait for to be a Muslim? Right? Meaning that if you're reading the Bible and now you see mistakes, now you read the Quran, you love it, that's great, right? But during that time, what if death comes to you? Like, how old are you?
I'm only 14.
You're 14. I got friends, I got killed at 12. Right? I don't know what New York's like, but I'm from the hoods of the West Coast, right? People get killed, people get hit by cars, people go into accidents, right? So never procrastinate something that's right, right? So do you believe in one God?
I believe in one God.
Do you believe that God sent prophets?
I believe God sent prophets.
That's the testification of being a Muslim, right? And then you got a lifetime to learn. I'm, I've been studying Islam since the late '90s and I'm still studying, right? So don't let that be the devil trying to get you to procrastinate, you feel me? See, you already said you believe in one God, right?
Yes.
You believe he sent messengers, Jesus, you just saw as a prophet, right? You believe Muhammad is a prophet like Jesus. He had miracles, he split the moon and all that. I'll send you a video, you can watch about that, right? So if that's true, why wouldn't you testify to it? So you ready or what? Let's do it.
Daniel, learn about it. Yeah. Any questions you got, you got Muslim friends, they're going to hit you up, right? You can, you can, they'll teach you how to pray.
Channel? Yeah. Wait, what's One Message Foundation?
One Message Foundation. Have videos talking about.
Yeah, I went a whole week watching. We're watching your videos.
Nice. Well, keep going, man. Not just a week. We got more videos than that, alhamdulillah. Watch. I've been watching like two months.
Mallah. Where's? Yeah, that's the one. Yeah. Right. I'll watch. How you doing, brother? Can you give me a wa? Can you give me a couple of Qurans quick? Yeah. You think I can get on one of the books? I got you.
[Music]
All right, I'm going to get you, uh, some gifts from me. All right. I'm going to give you some Qurans from me. But again, like I said, if you believe it, testify to it. And then read the Quran, ask your friends questions. We good? All right. So you ready for testifying? Testifying? Okay, let's go. Testify. I would say, and you repeat with me. All right. I bear witness. I'm just explaining what it is right now, right? I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except one Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is a servant and messenger of Allah.
Do you believe that?
I don't know that much about Muhammad, though.
All right. Yeah, I don't. You don't either. All right. I don't think the Bible really talks about Muhammad. The Bible predates Muhammad, peace be upon it. It does give indication the prophet is to come, and we believe that is the prophet Muhammad. But the prophet Muhammad, like the prophet Jesus, like the prophet Moses, like the prophet Abraham, in that line of prophets, he was the last of them. And as we can see with clear evidences, and they'll show you a video, the prophet Muhammad was asked for a miracle, right? And he said, "What do you guys want?" They said, "We want to see you split the moon." Right? So he asked Allah, and Allah split the moon. You know how Jesus walked on water, how Moses split the ocean, how Abraham wasn't burning in the fire? Just like that, the prophet Muhammad, he had his own miracles. Splitting the moon is only one of them, right? The Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, who couldn't read or write. But there are scientific facts in the Quran he couldn't have known. There's historic prophecies he made that could not have been known. So just like the earlier prophets, he's a prophet, right? Does that make sense? Could you split the moon, right? So if somebody can, that means he's not speaking on his own behalf, right? Right. And you got eyewitness accounts. I'll show you a video. I scanned the books and everything, right? So since you know now that he had these miracles, wouldn't that make sense that he's a prophet like the earlier prophets?
Yeah. Yeah.
So let's do it. I don't know. Yeah, let me get some water. Been talking too much the last two days, man. How you doing? All right, let's do this, right? Uh-huh. I'm going to say it. You just tell me what part of it you don't agree with, all right? I bear witness there is none that should be worshipped except one God, and I bear witness that Jesus, Abraham, Muhammad are servants and messengers of God. What part of that do you not agree with?
[Music]
The second part, Muhammad being a servant or Jesus being a servant of God. It's like, mostly as a Christian, the Bible is like the basis of everything, right? And I, I don't really. All right. I don't think I mentioned in there. So as a Christian, do you think this is the word of God?
Yes.
All right. So let's take a look here, right? Is the word of God perfect, then?
Good.
So read with me. Isaiah.
"Isaiah was 42 years old when he became king, and he reigned one year, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem."
Okay, so how old was he?
42.
And what was his mother's name? His mother's name was Abia, the granddaughter of, granddaughter. In the same Bible.
[Music]
Second Kings. "Isaiah was 22 years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abia, the granddaughter of Amri, king of Israel."
Does that make sense? Can you be 22 and 42 at the same time? He only rules for one year, so it's not like a different time. His mother's a so not a different person. Can I? Yeah, go for it. Sunday school didn't talk about that one, huh? You go back. Yeah, no problem.
[Music]
Go back with my time. No problem, bro. I'll go back three times for you. Make sense though? No, no. Just to make you comfortable that this isn't like a one-off or something. Let's do another one. How do you say his name?
Jehoahaz.
Jehoahaz was 8 years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and 10 days. Okay. How old was he?
8 years old.
Second Kings. "Jehoahaz was 18 years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months." Again, three months. Jerusalem. One was eight, one was 18. Those are mistakes, right? Let me give you a couple more, just for fun. Then Job. Go ahead.
"Then Joab gave the sum of the number of people to the king, and there were in Israel 800,000 valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were 500,000."
So how many for Israel?
800.
800,000. And Judah?
500,000,000.
Excellent. Then Joab gave the sum of the numbers of the people to David. "All Israel had 1,100,000 men who drew the sword, and Judah had 470,000 to do the sword." They don't match, do they? Right. Let me from the New Testament. Mhm. Just, I want you to be comfortable that you don't need the Bible to know because you know people change this up. The Quran, which I'm going to give you as a gift, is perfect. Go home, read it. Hit these guys up. Check our channel. Hit us up. So when you have something of perfection, why would you stop from it? Right here. This is the genealogy of Jesus, right? Yeah. In accord. Matthew. You read Matthew in Sunday school, right? It says, "And Jacob begot Joseph, the husband of Mary." We're talking about Joseph, the supposed stepfather of Jesus. Who, who was his father? Who begot him? Jacob, right? Now, in the same Bible, when you go to Luke 3:23, right? "Now Jesus himself began his ministry at about 30 years of age, being the supposed son of Joseph, the son of Heli, son of..." How many d-a-boy got? Uh-uh. Right. You can go through this whole thing. Take these verses, right? Side by side. Read them. They don't match, right? Then they're going to make up excuses. No one's about Mary. It says the husband of Mary. It says Joseph. It doesn't say Mary. It doesn't say daughter, right? So the reality is that anonymous authors writing in Koine Greek 70-90 to hundreds of years after the time of Jesus wrote this, right? You can't rely on this, right? So even the Bible, the way they have written it, still shows them to be a prophet. If they believe in Christians, even then, they should admit to that. But don't wait for that. We'll give you a Quran when you give me a. Get a couple of them. So these are Qurans for you, right? Free. Yeah. Let me get you one. To one. One more, inshallah. There you go. Thank you. Now you got a lifetime to read, right? Nobody's pressuring you. Take this home, it's yours. Read it. Ask your friends. Hit us up. Go to a mosque. I got you, right? But from what you have heard now, doesn't it make sense there's only one God, right? You ready to testify to that? Let's do it. Right. And now what you have seen from the Bible, and then what I've told you, but the miracle of the prophet, and I'll send you evidences for those, right? You agree that a man who could split the moon would be a prophet with the help of God?
With the help, exactly. Exactly. With the help of God. We don't say the prophet did it on his own, right?
But if God is helping him, then that's a prophet, like you said it yourself, right? All right. So let's do the testimony then, man. You just said it.
Yeah. Um, can I like look over like all this, I'll, and then when I'm ready, I'll maybe like, cuz I, I've been like to his mosque before.
Excellent. Take the Quran, go home, read it tonight. Pray to the one God to guide to the truth. When you're ready, hit them up. Definitely. Good, good talking. Every night. Excellent, excellent. But don't pray to Jesus. Pray to the one. Jesus? Pray to there you go. God, the only Creator. All right, man. Appreciate it. Great talking to you guys, man. Great talking to you too. All right, man. One more picture. Yeah, of course. Of course. You guys want a picture? We'll take one.
