 As-salamu alaikum brothers and sisters, quite some splendid news reaching us last week. I had a new fresh boost to Islam right in London. The centre of London, As-Shanu, has its iconic landmark, the Traucadero, which was soon have parts of its space transformed into a mosque, it accommodated up to 390 people at a time. It's all thanks to the efforts of an African Muslim billionaire known as Mr Aziz, who is backing this project through his charity foundation. Interestingly, he initially applied for permission to hold 1,000 persons, but it was granted for 390 persons in the basement of the building, may Allah accept his good deeds and also desire his Amen. Do you know the London Traucadero? Back in the day, it was a palace of arcade games, cinemas and fast food, a teenager's heaven. The entertainment centre closed down in 2014, and London was worse for it, but the building will live to see another day. The former site of the Trauc has been bought by property developer, referred to as the meanest landlord during the pandemic, and is being turned into a three-story house of prayer and Islamic centre. Malawian origin, UK-based business and property tycoon, Asif Aziz, has got rights to build a masjid in a prestigious property, a move welcomed by the Muslims of London. Do kindly take a moment to like and share this video. If you haven't already, please do subscribe to the channel, it will be of immense assistance to us. After Muslims in London celebrated the conversion of parts of the Traucadero into a masjid, some self-proclaimed British Christian Patriots took to the street to voice their grievances. Their mate is baseless desperation, Islamophobia, hate and confusion. This lady with a cross in hand seemed to have come to a Muslim majority in the UK. Why? I can't pinpoint the exit location where this video was shot. The contacts and accents suggest it was likely in downtown London. It's quite apparent that the lady came to harass Muslims attempting to accept that Britain is a Christian nation. But how true is that? The Muslim guys in the video claimed that Islam has taken over. But let's pause and ponder on the veracity of this statement. Is it appropriate for a Muslim to conclude that Islam has overrun the United Kingdom? Please share your thoughts in the comment section and remember Charles Dawkins seemed to have a very cordial answer to the question, is Britain a Christian country? The first thing that the poll showed was that the number of people who call themselves Christian has dropped from 72%, I think it was, in the 2001 census to 54% now and the margin of error might be plus or minus 2 when the final census figures comes out. So that's already a dramatic drop in the number of people who call themselves Christian. What was more interesting in a way was when we look further at what those 54%, remember we now wiped out all the people who don't call themselves Christian at all. These are the census Christians, we call them the census Christians. When we look at them, even they are not in many cases really Christian in the sense that most of the Christians here would, for example, recognise I suspect and of course they're absolutely free to call themselves Christian if they wish, totally free country, you can label yourself anything you like. What worried us and what still worries us is that if you label yourself Christian, then the numerical strength that you add to the Christian figure may then be used by a much narrower constituency of Christian who will then argue, oh well, the country is so and so many percent Christian therefore we need bishops in the House of Lords and so on. So I want to dispel a misunderstanding which we're not telling Christians you are or are not a true Christian, it's up to you whether you're a true Christian. But beware of using the ammunition of the percentage number of Christians, even though it's now dropped from 72 to 54, beware of using that figure as ammunition for pushing through really strong, narrowly defined Christian values. To be honest, Britain appreciate the old architectural wonders of the Christian era, but to call it a Christian nation in this trite sense of the word, especially with the presence of a king would be no go. As a Muslim, why are you in the Christian country and not the Christians are in the Muslim country which is, you know, has a prosperity? Do you believe England's a Christian country? Oh yes, it has a big, huge history. So this country in England, Darwinian evolution is directly against Christianity. Yet we teach our children in school as a fact this is true. In England, you could be gender fluid, change transgenders. In England, homosexuality, men can marry men. What type of Christian country allows men marrying men? What kind of Christian country allows this? What kind of Christian country teaches our children that we evolve from common ancestors and we weren't created by God? So let's establish one thing. England is not a Christian country. England is a secular democracy. One of the British values is freedom of religion. Now, I'll ask you a question. What are you doing in my country? I'm England. Regarding the video where a Christian challenges a Muslim, let's be mindful of people like this lady, my fellow Muslims in the UK, we must strive to avoid arguing or getting physical with even the most radical of them, let conduct ourselves peacefully and leave the battle to Allah who has made it possible for Islam to gain its strong foothold and what was once a Christian kingdom. We pray, inshallah, that one day Islam will prevail worldwide. Lest you forget Allah says in Surah Asif As-Assaf chapter 61 verse 9. He is these who has sent his messenger Muhammad with guidance on the religion of truth Islam to make it victorious over all other religions. Even though the polytheists hate it.
