Reflections in Mecca by an American Muslim

[laobe66]

meakshaySINGH~all your comments CRAP,rubbish ,nonsense and dont make sense at all,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ra­ting 0/100

[meakshaysingh]

mecca madina is a holy place and this religion originates from hindu religion and the place known as kaba which is having a black stone is a shivalinga...god shiva ...

as we know mother language of all language is SANSKRIT

HARAM MEANS SHIVA thats why the place is called MASJID AL HARAM i.e the place where LORD SHIVA resides.

I AM AN INDIAN AND RESPECT ALL THE RELIGION AND SPECIALLY ISLAM BECAUSE THEY ARE WORSHIPPING A HINDU GOD

[x2maconaers]

@meakshaysingh

sory to disappoint you but islam has nothing to do with hindu religion

God bless you! I hope you the other Americans will definitely sense and comprehend what you have been feeling in this holy land.

[ibrahimcagri]

God bless you!

[rajay2000]

its marvelous

[draxec]

Subhanallah you saw the truth. i hope everyone will see what you see. May Allah bless you.

[tommikins1]

actually in all truth Baitul Kaaba if built by Adam first was built in India as Adam alighted in India. Abraham may have completed or rebuilt it (if Muslim scriptures are true). Look and read tafsir in this by Tabiri.

[tommikins1]

@bayramjyk. I second you brother! They say the meanest comments where we don't say nasty stuff about thier prophets because we are forbidden by Rasul Allah to do so! They don't follow their prophets either: if they did, they wouldnt be so mean to other people and their religions!

[gloryinter]

thank you my brother for this video

i am your brother from Al Madina Al munawarah

[Kapojos]

i hate the way he says ''allah'' it has an ugly sound

[Dudes95s]

@Kapojos Shut up bitch if you cannot respect it you should shut up your mouth trash talker ..!.. i know what is youre real name Satan is your Father and your name is Lucifer so go to Hell Bitch

[aziz79]

you know why they comment on video's ....that's because they know islam is the one and only religion.

and they want to c what makes us strong and comment negative so that they think we will become like them....

you don't c me on a jewish, christian or hindu site and give comment on them

because i have no business there..

SO GET OUT

[waheedmirza1]

@aziz79

assalam alikum ,Dear aziz ,as a muslim we should reply with loveliness to any body,especially when peoples have raised questions towards islam.

[azer7786]

Hazrat Ibrahim AllyhSllam never been in Mecca , then it will be your four (4) fathers. Ediot what you know about Islam. Never been in Saudia because Saudia didn't exsist on that time, that was called Arab. Jazira E Arab. I suggest go and buy decent book from a decent auther.

[zafran20091]

may Allah bless you brother for ever ...

[hadi257]

I was laughing when you said 'well watching too much CNN u might think that theres some peramilatery activities or something like that' :P it's true though lol

Allahu Akbar

[islamtherightpath1]

[jiijiile]

Great lesson about Islam. it is good to know there are brothers like you all over the world.

My Allah save your soul and all of us in the day of Judgment! Ameen!

[nadoeloiskat]

"May Allah save your soul and all of us in the day of Judgment" what about all the non-moslems?

[jiijiile]

@nadoeloiskat

That is what I meant "us", I mean the Humanity! If you are non-muslim, my Allah guide you to Islam and safe your soul in the day of Judgement. Amiin!

[nadoeloiskat]

May knowledge, logic and rationality make you realise that there is no such things as pure goodness (God/paradise) and pure evilness (satan/hell). its all relative..

[RESPECTX7]

:')

[vortex1982]

Jazak Allah Khair for sharing this video and your reflections brother! It is truly an amazing and humbling sight with no parellell in this world! Looking forward to perform Hajj, Inshallalh. May Allah accept your good deeds.

Hajj MABROOK

God bless U

it's amazing isn't it

[ballinyoma]

I think if people see through the mirage of terror George bush made toward Muslims and take some to study Our beliefs you will see how dear our religion is to us Muslims. The terrosists you see on t.v are lost Muslims who don't know what to believe in....and may Allah lead them the right way.

[QWertys24]

May GOD(Allah) bless you My Brother,.

Masha-Allah,..

Wassalam - PEACE

lovely vid!

bro that verse is open to interpretation! please click on View all 133 comments to see the whole conversation we had! My comments are in the middle of the page. peace

[beakybuzzerd]

THAT STONE IS MONOLITH...NEIL ARMSTRONG Found same stone in a structure on moon ( search structure on moon video)It was ordered to prophet ibrahim by God to put this stone at that place .. great physiologists agrees on that these stones are land marks of super beings who left earth for some reason but will be back or are back.

Fact: no bird ever flew over kaaba.

[sindibadthesailor]

to shraidha,

you are an ill thinkig person, i hope you will get rid of the hatred you have in your heart because this place is for seeking forgiveness from GOD the almmighty. It is a place of peace.

[hcity09]

why shraidha ??? what is wrong with you ? are u sick 0r what .....

[shraidha]

What is wrong with me? Muslims have killed my friends and tried to kill me and have killed my fellow countrymen. This war started the moment the demon possessed mohammet began convulsing and blaspheming his way into history. This site is a monument to evil.

[Beatle214]

You do know that a person that has killed another cannot be called a Muslim right? May your friends rest in peace.

[anekkincai]

To sharaida.

I really hate hypocrisy...

The killing of any innocent civilians is wrong whether is done by a man with brown skin with white cloths from dark cave (Osama)OR by a man with white skin with the black suits from the white house.(Bush)

[shraidha]

Arab Fanatics will all burn.

[groove5571]

as u know its depends on that person shraidha... not all jews is god,not all islam person is god and not all people is good, im islamic person in malaysia,i believe god exist and i believe the bad people you tell that is radical people... let share some exp with me... by the way i dnt like the bad islamic people... non islam dunno about this vidz.....u cnnt ask the bad islamic people...find the right guy..

[islamtherightpath1]

@shraidha Bahaha I see you commenting on every Islamic video.. Go make some friends and go out you little kid... You have no life and have fun commenting on the true peace of the world? Just go away and mind your own busness will ya.

[anekkincai]

To sharaida.

I really hate hypocrisy...

Terrorism - Is the war of the poor...

and the war is Terrorism of the rich...

The killing of any innocent civilians is wrong whether is done by a man with brown skin with white cloths from dark cave (Osama)OR by a man with white skin with the black suits from the white house.(Bush)

[3in100]

i mean plz keep makes vids like this vis

thank you brother

[3in100]

I love u brother nice vid plz

[rencrow]

Makkah is great but Madinah is a really really nice.

[rencrow]

Saudi arabia isnt dangerous. It is however a tad boring. The places of tourism for non-muslims at least are the red sea, the coral reefs, scuba diving, and the ruins of madian saleh which was part of the ancient nabataen civilisation.

[40AcreMule]

Nice vid. I'm not a Muslim, but still on the jounery, seeking the truth.

[987hassan]

this is the truth brother dont lose your chance it comes only once please seek Islam and read will and you will find happiness especially practicing it

[spyhunt14]

convert to ISLAM,any problem regarding islam, we will help you

[DJDEEQ]

man... nice one bro, u really got me emmotional man... may allah forgive ur sins bro

[thuruma]

Great...I realy hope that every muslim will have a chance to go there..

and its NOT dangerous ,actually its the most peacefull place in the world,even the birds walk around lazy to fly and know no ones gonna bother them..

and while your there you should come and visit me,and i'll treat you to the best food there ;-)

[listenNBwise]

Subhanallah. Your reflections are sincere and beautiful. Only those given Hidayah by Allah and listen without prejudice can see the beauty of Islam, the true Islam which is not tarnished by the wrong acts of a minority group whose hearts are full of hatred for others. I agree with Nazmul786. May peace be upon you.

[nazmul786]

zajakallah . may allah guide us all to the right path.

request to all muslim brothers and sisters please try not to respond hate with hate its not right let them comment with their pea brain one day they will understand what is right and what is wrong . this is all i have to say . there is no god but allah and muhammad is his messanger.

allahu akbar.

[Aycha714]

mash'ALLAH, beautiful video and words brother, insh'ALLAH I will be there one day as well

[Bayramjyk]

It's disturbing to see:

1. bunch of christians

2. jews

3. hindus

4. atheists

etc

leave vile comments for each Islamic video on youtube. GO make a video for your own religion and be happy with it! What do you achieve by doing what you do? Only you represent your group from the worst possible side. If you're christian, then nobody will praise Christianity because of your bad comments. Neither if you're jewish, nor if you're atheist or hindu...

[EsotericDesi]

At least we don't marry our daughters off to our best Terrorist friends and marry one of theirs for ourselves like it's a fuckin' brothel.. You fuckin' cunt... Isn't that what your Black Box preaches you?

[Minabaybay91]

ah dont hate cz youre stupid

[EsotericDesi]

Both, Monkey and Cow have significance... :-\ Just the way a rectangular black-box have on you.

[EsotericDesi]

:-\ Isn't it better than beheading innocent people? :-\ Stoning women to death or keeping them under beehives when temperatures exceede 115F? :-\ Pesecuting those of different beliefs and spreading tyrannical shitpot 5th Century shit to all corners of the world believing when Islam spreads to 100% of the world, there will be "Peace"... Now, What "Peace"? Saudi Arabia, Somalia, and Afghanistan are 100% Muslims... and 3 most violent and tyrannical states... :-\

[EsotericDesi]

Have Bin Laden as your sister's husband or on the most wanted list? :-\

[EsotericDesi]

You're wrong... Hindus are the only religion that allows other religions to enter temples without 100 spies following you around or questioning or trying to convert you.

[kgb5799]

How many types of Gods are there in Hindu religion ? I saw a monkey man and cow.

[EsotericDesi]

Since religions are fictions anyways, I'd rather have a monkey and a cow than a terrorist with suicide vest... :-\

[thamer6g]

First, Muslims in the entire universe are against terrorists ... thats one ..

second, Islam highly forbids terrorism and killing the non-Muslims and who do that are in fact doing it for personal purposes and they use the name of Islam to have a shield that could take as much hurting as it could take...

third, you are deeply influenced by the media.. unfortunately.

Peace

[Minabaybay91]

haha be stupid and worship animals.smelly animals.makes you sound stupid & smelly.

[987hassan]

you are fishing in the wrong sea

seek the truth it only comes once in your life

go and see how many people converted and why are they donning that for

[msuuups21]

@EsotericDesi UR WRONG THE HINDUS clean there temple with bull shit when a muslim sets a foot in there temple

[HashmiKhan]

in the name of allah most gracious most merciful beneficent maybe to u it is the factory where all " allah snackbars are made" but for a muslim this is the most holiest mosque in all of islam this building was made by abraham because god told him and this is our belief

[x2zee123]

thx alot man very nice keep it up

[farooqinusa]

Subhanallah.. Brother .. Thank you for this video.

[proverbs1722]

Romans 5:8

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

[fghtupx]

My dear brother thank you for this video. May Allah Subhanahoe Wa Ta'ala bless you for posting this. Salaamun Alaikum

[UAEpretty]

Hey,I'm Muslim too and I'm so proud that an American Muslim could say this about Mecca and Muslims, and i really wish that other people could see and understand us like the way you did, and by the way don't feel bad about people's who hate us because we know the truth and we know we are right and God will always be with us :)

[sinansexy]

Ahsantom , My Brother GOODLUCK!

[msuuups21]

@Eliassabbagh allah will punish u very soon

[JUNAIDbinGERALD]

Why? Do you have any reason behind what you're saying, or are you the emotional type? If you have reasons, then let's discuss them objectively. But with all respect due to you, this type of comment only brings embarrassment to yourself and demeans whatever cause you represent. I await your reply.

[supermanpaki]

I agree bro. it is useless

[shoutforit]

subhanallah

[prakyjin]

i can imagine how great it will b felt when we r around Kabah with millions other people. Whoever u r, u will be seem very SMALL as an ordinary human.

Allahuakbar.

[ali67888]

yes, exactly my point. I actually read the verse u mentioned days ago and I was amazed how easily we can forget teachings of true islam if we are not careful. the idea of religious scholars telling us wats haram wats halal is unislamic and quran said it clearly!! god bless u bro, hope we find the right path and stay in it!

[Bayramjyk]

you're wrong brother. Allah forbids non-muslims entering Meccah in Quran. What do you want more? Don't deny Allah's words, please, as it's a way to denial and hell

[ali67888]

sura9verse4: "So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush" this is Allah's word as well do u follow this exactly or u look at the context? so plz for the verses that forbid entrance of non-muslim to mecca look at the context as well. back then if they allowed non-muslims into mecca they would come and harass muslims or even kill them, its different now, be logical plz

[keldoth101]

nice vid m8 ty for that really helped my report :-)

[JUNAIDbinGERALD]

what kind of report if you don't mind me asking?

[EsotericDesi]

Evil Shit...

[Minabaybay91]

yah which is you

[EsotericDesi]

Every religion have a Holy place... This is the Holiest for Muslims... but for others it's not... so it cannot be the World's holiest place...

[Bayramjyk]

why oh why you have to come and leave such a bad comment? Get a life, and try to respect other's opinions and choices!

[msuuups21]

@EsotericDesi well u haven't been there yet so how can u say its not holiest place

[kamajiboy]

what is the proper way to worship allah the moon god

[mercedesdiesel]

GREAT POST AND SUPER VIDEO. Can you please let everyone know what is the name of the Hotel and and especially the room numbers where this view is available. Thanks you.

[nahlitnk]

elinize saglık :) very nice

[mullah32]

beautiful. well done brother. inshallah i will make it there for haj in the approaching years.

[ilovegod0]

May allah bless u for ur beautiful job! and i hope i can go there someday and bow to allah s.w.t. You did a wonderful job and i hope u made dua for every single muslim in this earth! peace.

[Shabzana]

wow subhanallah!

been there once but inshallah will do again!! by the grace of allah subhanawatala;

luv it!!

salaam!

[eeta2u]

pork ???? the dirtiest meat in planet

[ali67888]

oh very nice. so when is ur wedding? but is it necessary for us to know that u two are in love?

[ali67888]

I understand ur point... not letting non-muslims into mecca is a law that saudis made and its not islamic... the true islam embraces other religions... prophet did NOT say only muslims are allowed to come here! we had jews there living with new muslims

[AJK010]

Read the holy Quran and understand it the wa allah wants you to understand it please

[ali67888]

yes brother I'm always trying to understand islam and quran. I think u r referring to 9:28 of Quran. As u know Surah 9 contains some of the harshest verses of Quran and apparently its was descended after the savage attack of non-muslims (who hate islam) in which muslims were killed just because they were muslim believed in god.

[ali67888]

I think this law doesnt apply to those who want to understand islam and want to see mecca eventhough they r not "offical muslim".

another thing is that who is a muslim? is being muslim a thing like citizenship? no I some one do good and believe in god and judgement day they are muslim. so i think this verse applies to thoes who want to kill muslims. of course those are not allowed

[thompat1971]

I'm a non-muslim , yet i love all muslims

[khaledaboutaleb]

we love you too , brother

[ali67888]

dude may I ask you what are u trying to achieve by swearing at our religion? ... back then they threw stones at our prophet and since he knew those people are not thinking he just ignored them... what do u think we gonna do? IGNORE u then DELETE ur comment... so don't waste ur time man

[islamtherightpath1]

@dlg1956 When you go to hell, I'm sure for what you are saying God will not forgive you unless you do something amazing. God probably won't guide you to the truth though. When you burn don't cry... you've deserved it.

[perhaps2007]

very touched by your statement and i love you

[Tereeb]

to let u know Islam is unique.

[somalihustler]

go out go inside the masjid we want to see inside the masjid we already know how it looks outside

thankx

[AverageWhiteMuslima]

subhanallah he went all the way to hajj and you are asking him where are his filmings of the malls. who cares about jeddah or the malls, we are looking at the kaaba! maybe he taped other things, but this is what he chose to put up, why not thank him instead?

[riyadhkneega]

i like what u said

[MaaliLuqman]

awesome description! afterall, wut other place on earth can millions of diverse people be in at one time, yet be at peace and interact so gracefully? Subhanallah! Thanks for the share!!!!

[xs2ahmed]

I want to be there as soon as possible, ...thanks bro Junaid

[Shuraim]

Mashallah bro... that was beautiful. May Allah forgive you and reward you with firdaws!

[JUNAIDbinGERALD]

Assaalaamu'alaykum. Jazak Allaah Khair for your comments. InshaAllaah, I will make dua for you...May Alaah make it easy for you to visit His house and reward you with Firdaus. Take care. Assalaamu'alaykum.

[fatma2007]

wow so did you convert to islam?

[JUNAIDbinGERALD]

Na'm...Alhamdulillaah, I embraced Islaam a little over two years ago.

[fatma2007]

so what state are you from and how did you became muslim?

[JUNAIDbinGERALD]

Assalaamu'alaykum. I'm from Texas. How did I become Muslim? To make a long story short, the more "happy" life got for me on the outside, the more miserable and empty it got for me on the inside. I only found peace in "La ilaha ilallaah" (complete submission to the Creator and complete freedom from the creation). After that, I never looked back. Of course, there's more to this story but not enough room to talk about it here. Send me a message if you want to know more. I don't mind sharing.

[honeybeez1222]

When did you embrace Islam and how did you come to be Islam?

[JUNAIDbinGERALD]

I embraced Islam back in 2004. I first learned about the religion from my brother who embraced Islam several months before me. Due to much self-exploration I had been doing before hearing about Islam, you can say I was already "primed" for it when it was presented to me. So it was easy to recognize it as the truth--though not so easy to actually take the first steps on a different path. All praise is for Allah Who guides whomever He wills.

[honeybeez1222]

I hope this is not too personal, but in what place, either mentally, emotionally or spiritually do you think someone needs to be in to be "primed" for embracing Islam? Is there a detriment to being the emotional type? I am still in the process of my own self exploration and Islam has always been a place of great inquiry (among other things). Does the religion teach that the only way to heaven is by taking the shahada?

[riz1cs]

Ask your self 3Q's where did i come from? why am i here(earth)?& where am i going(after death)?Declaration of faith(Shahada)means nothing without understanding the basic tenants of islam.Taking shahada is the beginning of a journey.The more you explore islam through your own initiative and curiosity the more you will understand the relevance and importance of shahada.Historically ppl/nations have embraced islam for different reasons.Ask your self the question why should i not embrace islam?

[AW2989]

the shahada is the key to heavens doors, something most non-muslims doesn't know , ;)

[inkw311]

i respect the 'love and be loved' virtue of all religions.. but i don't respect islam's oppression of women in the least.

[JUNAIDbinGERALD]

Hi. Thank you very much for sharing your opinion with me and I would definitely like to hear more. Can you tell me how you have observed Islam's oppression of women? I look forward to hearing back from you. Peace.

[JUNAIDbinGERALD]

Hi. I'm glad you checked out my video and even more glad that you have a desire to visit Makkah. I have a question for you. The feeling that Muslims experience when they go to Makkah is largely connected to their belief in Islam. In fact, without Islam, Makkah would probably be just another unknown city in the desert. So my question for you is this: if you're attracted to this unique feeling, have you ever considered learning what Islam is all about? Holler at me.

[zaman27]

MashaAllah, thanks for posting it bro

[drtakhlaque]

MashaAllah Junaid, nice reflections. Well said!
