Sex, Drugs And Rock N' Roll: Or is there more to life? Abdur Raheem Green

[GoRla89]

is this white man working for the government secretly and implanting subliminal messages in our brains? I am very cynical of white people!

[shadesofcolours]

@GoRla89 Then you don't know white Muslims. There is no racism in Islam.

[ssatem89]

Thank you so much. Masha'llah. I was searching for more guidance and more insight. This is exactly what I needed. May this be a great reminder to humanity who oft forget.

[bigborman]

crazy. all hail SLAYER.

[azizspidey]

@23:40 was fun

[muslimsly]

yes, and the accursed shaytan will be happy, too.

[marooo82]

This brother is amazing!!! Masha'Allah

[xdarrenx]

srry i don't meant christianity. I mean way;s of life aka use drugs/believe in god/take a crusade etc.

[xdarrenx]

basically 'we get caught up by coca cola ads etc. and he's adverting for god. What's the difference it's both dictating ppl to follow his (christianity) beliefs or god beliefs. You can't say 1 is better then the other; as long as you feel happy and don't have a bad influence on other. DO whatever you want.

[gilbertobesanko]

yeah he is its so typical His selling God like a drug i thought he was a catholic or orthodoc christian LOL like a fanatic one theres no God theres no hellfire how are we going to have fun sex drugs and rock we australia is a cokacola country we are not a christian country what the hell r we certainly not MUSLIM then you realise after A WHILE your selling Islam like Cola

[saqib09]

Yes, except when they sell cola to you it means they are getting richer. But if you see the truth(what we believe to be the truth anyway)and come to Islam no muslim will be benefited in anyway.

[xdarrenx]

If your forced too live by the bible; then isn't it just dictatorship? How can you say free of mind if ur mind is forced too stay in the guide lines within the bible? In my opinion live your life like you want it and respect other's beliefs. But don't brainwash us with 52 minutes of nicely spoken words which take on an almost enchanting feature.

[FOXHOUND369]

ok soo live this imperfect life filled with suffering and pain to miss out on the perfect life in which theres no pain and we can get anything we want noo thank uuu im taking life number twoo ^_^...BTW not everyone lives a privileged life..some of us have to live in hell holes soo u cant and will never never never never understand how it feels and how this works bro....

..............peace

[vojvonic]

Inshaa'llah.

[xdarrenx]

lol at independance day comment. We humans can stand alot but some even can die from as much as a beesting. It;s just a movie he goes way too emo about it

[gilbertobesanko]

Cool he is a bit emo altogther a luny hay ill agree with that

[xdarrenx]

IF god created us he doesn't care what we do cause he made us how we are. So it's not liek he does or doesn't care. It is how it is and if he can make earth he wud laugh at our "coca cola"

[dhyleck]

God gave us both the ability to do good and bad. We have the freedom of choice do we not? so if we kill someone then we r to blame not God.

[Nazmul99]

And Abdul Raheem Green didnt say anything about Cell Phones. And in the hereafter if you recieve paradise there you will be truly happy for eternity you will get everything you ask for. In the Qur'an Allah tells us that this life is basicaly nothing comparing to the hereafter (paradise)

[victimlesscriminal]

Malicious, de-humanising spin in order for Mohammed and the rest of the power-crazed misogynists to gain control over, not only the wealth and industry of their subscribers and victims, but also over their every action and every thought.

Mind-control that is just about understandable in the ignorant; but reprehensible (and should be criminal) in the person who knows what he is doing to each unique and beautiful human life to which he lays waste.

[Nazmul99]

Chase55 one of the reasons most Americans & Brits don't know who the real terrorists are and will not know is because they spend most of their time enjoying themselves too much Movies, Music, sex, clubs, drugs you name it there to busy to even research on important claims they hear.

And movies, tv series & Computergames aren't forbidden but they do have sinful elements in them. Plus they can and they do with many people interfere with doing things which are pleasing to GOD.

[Chase55]

But you see, that's just the thing, I don't believe God really cares, I think in the grand scheme of things, whether I spend my life praying or playing video games doesn't really matter too much. I believe God's master plan extends well beyond Earth, thinking God is really only interested in us seams selfish and narrow-minded to me.

[dhyleck]

no one said that God is ONLY interested in us. That is what u have inferred. God sustains and monitors everything INCLUDING US! Besides what reason do u have to believe that God isnt interested in us?

[Nazmul99]

Chase55 worshipping and pleasing Allah doesnt mean just read the Qur'an theres much more you should learn and know about something before commenting on it.

And Chase 55 I'm a Muslim not because I want to believe in it nor because I was brought up a Muslim because Islam is the true religion of GOD. Research more about Islam and insha Allah you'll find the truth

[Chase55]

Anyone who allows religion to interfere with their fulfillment of life has a problem. This guy in this video suggests I drop everything and spend my life reading the Qur'an. Never read it but I've seen copies, it's not a long book. While I agree people shouldn't get caught up in the material world and buy things just to make them happy, he also suggests we shouldn't listen to music. Well that's a real bummer, I can't listen to music and now I have to continuously read a short book until I die.

[TonyFuckingDanza]

"Well that's a real bummer, I can't listen to music and now I have to continuously read a short book until I die"

Throw in not being able to look at women, and no sex, and suddenly the suicide fixation starts to make sense.

[Chase55]

Suppose I'm wrong, suppose God is focused on our tiny part of the universe, I'm still alright. Because although I'm not too familiar with the Qur'an, I'm willing to bet it has a lot of the same ideas expressed in the bible: Be a good person, don't kill, don't steal, love God, etc... Well I abide by those rules, so no problem. I didn't need to read any ancient scriptures to know how to live properly. It's not the books that matter, it's the message. The Bible and Qur'an are just paper.

[Chase55]

So we try to live our lives the best we can, we try to be kind to one another and do what's right. Do we do this because it pleases God? No, we do it because it works for us, because if we don't it's tougher for us. I may sound like an atheist, I assure you I'm not. I just think God focuses on the bigger picture, a plan for the entire sandbox, not to be bothered by petty problems on one tiny speck of dust in a corner. This doesn't mean our part is not important.

[Chase55]

Now, I believe god made the sandbox, but I don't know how much he focused on our particular grain of sand. Hundreds of billions of gallaxies, each with hundreds of billions of stars, and ours is the only one with life? Unlikely. Millions say they have the answer to the universe. So who do I listen to? The Christians? The Muslims? The Jews? What if the only reason they believe what they do is because their moms made them worship as kids like mine made me?

[revreturns]

thats easy. you should ask people y they convert. islam is the fastest growing because it makes sense for example, it doesnt say any thing thats hard to beleive. i mean the quran told people the earth was not flat but rather egg shaped and it rotated. Can you imagine what people 1500 years ago thought of when they heard that?! they probably thought it was just witchcraft or something

[Chase55]

One of the most significant moments of my life was when I realized that I could just have my own beliefs. I was raised Christian, and when I say that what I really mean is my mom made me go sit in church for a few hours every sunday. But now, I don't believe God would want me to spend my life constantly working and reading some book written centuries ago. I believe God is responsible for the universe and the laws that govern it.

[Chase55]

I'd love to have an intelligent conversation here. Just keep in mind, I am completely baffled by people who don't believe the theory of evolution, or respect the hell out of Freddie Mercury.

[punshout]

Hello Chase55,

Evolution is a theory not a scientific fact. You know right now, most scientists are having second thoughts about it, google it and you'll find out what i'm talking about.

[Chase55]

People have argued about the theory since its inception, and perhaps they found evidence recently that gives a better idea of how life began. But most scientists are having second thoughts? No way... I don't think they're completely rethinking it. They believe all life basically came from the same unicellular organisms, the question is, where did this unicellular life come from. Not atheist, I do believe in a god-like element in the universe, I just don't believe he pulled humans out of a hat...

[punshout]

Look the only chaos in this Universe is the one that the humans and the jinns have created. Other than that, everything is Organized. But since we have the choice and we're not controlled look what we've done.

This in itself is a sign that God exist but not within the Universe, do not insult God. 'Cuz you're saying he is a part of this Chaos which is an ungodly thing to do.

[Chase55]

Huh? You lost me. All I meant is that I believe God made man, I just don't believe it happened exactly the way it's described in the Bible or Qur'an, although granted I'm not too familiar with the latter.

[punshout]

Hello Chase55,

Watch this video:

Collapse of Darwinism : Theory of Evolution

[full video]

It's a 60 minutes video if you're interested.

[Chase55]

egh... I saw it... You're still missing my point... If you can believe God made life, is it so hard to believe God uses evolution to make life? Maybe the holes in the theory of evolution don't disprove it so much as suggest that God is behind evolution after all? Why not? All I'm saying is the theory makes sense, just like continental drift, the pieces just sort of fit together. Perhaps we should spend less time denouncing the theory and more time asking how to solve its mysteries.

[punshout]

Chase55,

Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon Him) said to one of his companion:

"God created,

Dirt on Saterday

Mountains on Sunday

Trees on Monday

Microbe on Tuesday

Light on Wednesday

Animals on Thursday

Adam on the last hour of Friday -before sunset-"

[revreturns]

i think u messed up. light was before microbe i think. just type in "quran in the light of science" in youtube to see

[punshout]

May be you're right. I didn't mean to change anything. I'll look into it Inshaa'llah.

Thanks and may Allah reward you good.

[punshout]

These days i'm talking about are not according to the calculations of our Earth.

They are God's days, although God has no time, there is no yesterday no tomorrow (no earlier, no later). They're days that fit his Majesty, we shouldn't have any mental image about them.

[revreturns]

lol. all u just said made perfect sense. r u sure ur not a muslim?

P.S one of god's name is the Evolver. He even says in the Quran how everything came from water. or how exactly the universe was made ( its exactly the same as wat scientists say but of course it was written 1500 yrs. ago)

[revreturns]

he didnt. muslims believe in evolution just not that we came from monkeys but we did adapt ourselves.

[victimlesscriminal]

Ignorance does not become you - or maybe it does, I can't tell at the moment. But to say that you can pick and choose from reality depending on your vacuous self-imposed belief system would be laughable if it were not so destructive and limiting for your future generations. If you are going to eschew objective reality, do so with consistency; don't dress up like a clown and make your audience cry!

[gilbertobesanko]

this is true interesting you can preach this in a church theres needs to be more modesty in the western worldat first i thought this man was an orthodox you can see the influence of his catholic education he doesnt seem to be fully islamic but well im not muslim i think the only good thing bout islam is the modesty shame about the legalism and fanatism though

[SaiedMilano]

m8 thers no such thing as islamic fanatesium..only that ppl in the west undertsand is this misconseption abou the truth, (Islam)i trully hope u get ur fax rit b4 u make comment abou a way of life u abvouslly no nothing abou othere den wah da media say...go and search Islam and b open minded wen u do so if u really and trully seek the truth, besides wah could it do eather it could b a intresting read,or ...it would lead u to the truth ....peace.

[Chase55]

Denouncing music? Movies? Alcohol? I can understand saying most music these days sucks, Independence Day was a shitty movie, and no one likes a drunk... ok, so you'd have people not live in fantasies, perfectly fine, so they shouldn't watch fantasy movies, listen to music, or take intoxicating substances. And while we're at it we shouldn't buy crap to make us happy, cell phones, video games... so you'd have us eat, sleep, work, worship excessively, and I dunno, play tic-tac-toe on Saturdays...
