 Asalaamu alaikum guys, welcome to another episode of the open-minded thinker show. Before diving into the subject of Jimmy Fox, I would like to draw your attention to an intriguing aspect of his background. It is worth noting that his parents aren't heir to the Islamic faith, with his father Darren Bishop embracing Islam, an adopter named Shahid Abdullah. Despite being raised in a Baptist Church environment, Fox's connection with Islam runs quite deep. However, let us not make that the focal point of our discussion today. Today we rejoice Jimmy Fox's recovery from a life-threatening emergency has brought joy to the world and jubilation among his fans. Recently he released a heartfelt video message, which I am sure many of you have seen, announcing absolutely his complete recuperation. In the video, Fox chose not to attribute his recovery to Jesus, as one might expect from someone who identifies as Christian. Instead, he repeatedly mentioned God. Before you watch him, let me remind you of what the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, told, humble bedouin man, the repentant man for the martyr. He said, Our Lord is Allah, the one and only God, the Creator of the heaven and the earth and everything that exists. He is the most merciful and the most compassionate.

I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back. I went through something that I thought I would never ever go through. I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates, but to be honest with you, I just don't want you to see me like that man. I want you to see me laugh and having a good time partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, television show. I didn't want you to see me with the tombs running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through. And to be honest with you, my sister did your diction. My daughter, Karen Marie, saved my life. So to them, to God, to a lot of great medical people, I'm able to leave you this video. I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in in such a way. And y'all know they kept it airtight. They didn't let nothing out. They protected me. And that's what I hoped that everyone could have in moments like these. Now, you know, by being quiet, sometimes things, you know, get out of hand, people saying what I got, some people said I was, I was blind. But as you can see, as you can see the eyes are working, eyes are working just fine. I said I was paralyzed. I'm not paralyzed. But I did go through, I went to hell and back and my road to recovery had some pot holes as well. But I'm coming back and I'm able to work. So I want to thank the people that let me work. And I just want to like say that I love everybody and I love all the love that I got. And man, you know, I know they talk about people crying on videos, you know, you can do take two, but I'm not going to do a take two. This it is what it is. And if you see me out from now on and every once in a while, I just burst into tears is because it's been tough, man. I was sick, man. But now I got my legs under me. So you're going to see me out. But like I said, I just want you to remember me for the jokes that I cracked, the movies that I make, some of them good, some of them may. I think I got a good one out in the songs that I sing, man. And then, you know, somebody was talking about I'm cloned. Well, check this out. Just kidding. Not cloned, man, but I'm here on earth because of some great people. I'm here on earth because of God, man. So I love all y'all. I just want to jump on here and let you know that I'm on my way back in love. Personally, I am delighted that Fox has made it through this ordeal. And I believe his recovery is the result of both medical interventions and the mercy of Allah. He was open and appreciative of this divine intervention. But interestingly, he avoided any mention of Prophet Jesus, vis-à-vis upon him. Despite being a Christian, it's not surprising. Check this out. Just kidding. Not cloned, man, but I'm here on earth because of some great people. I'm here on earth because of God, man. So I love all y'all. I just want to jump on here and let you know that I'm on my way back in love. Frankly, the reason for this choice can be numerous. And it seems unlikely that his church background is a factor as the Baptist Church tradition recognizes the divinity of Jesus as the second person of the Christian Trinity. So I perceive that Fox's understanding of Islamic teachings about Jesus might have influenced his decision. It appears that he sees Jesus as an esteemed prophet favored by God, who performed remarkable miracles by God's power and permission rather than as a deity or part of a larger tree person in one God. Now, let's examine the family aspect of Fox's experience. As we'll listen to the part of the video where he talked about his family, we can observe how his story underscores the significance of the traditional family theology in Islam. And to be honest with you, my sister did your diction. My daughter, Corinne Marie, saved my life. So to them, to God, to a lot of great medical people, I'm able to leave you this video. I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in in such a way. And y'all know they kept it airtight. They didn't let nothing out. They protected me. And that's what I hoped that everyone could have in moments like these. Fox's account demonstrates the truth inherent in the preservation and value of the family unit, which is a cornerstone in Islamic teachings. The importance of preserving the family with a father and a mother at his foundation is emphasized by God's divine design. The intimate relationship between spouse, design for procreation and the advancement of human civilization holds great significance. Any ideology, governments or custom that disregard the sacred institution pose an existential threat to humanity itself. Guys, the story of Jamie Foxx serves as a powerful reminder, like a powerful lesson, especially for those with atheistic perspectives. It reminds us that God is alive and continues to work wonders. There is only one true God, Allah, who is neither part of a treaty nor a created being. He is a creator of all. Again, before I draw the curtain, I would like to remind you of what Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said to a humble Bedouin man, Thaz. Our Lord is Allah, the one and only God, the creator of the heavens and the earth and everything that exists is the most powerful, most merciful and most compassionate.
