If you're new, my name is Bobby. Guys, today's video is of personal interest to me. We're going to react to what is it like being Japanese Muslim in Japan by the channel Takashi from Japan. I'll say this video is of personal interest to me not only because I am a recent revert to Islam but moreover because I grew up loving Japan. It was my favorite country. To this very day, I haven't made it over there even though I'm living in Thailand. It's not too far away and inshallah maybe this year, maybe next, I will finally go to my dream country. I grew up with animes. I grew up eating ramen noodle soups, Takashi's castle and what not. And then after finally quitting veganism, I found the love of my life which is sushi, sashimi, Wagyu beef, teppanyaki and all this beautiful Japanese food. So therefore to see now the Japanese people are reverting to Islam is of course heartwarming to me. We all know that there is a humongous, stupid rate in Japan. Unfortunately, and if you look into the Shinto religion, you will see that is a polytheistic religion. Those people worship different deities but atheism is on the rise as well. There are two destructive ideologies that do not make you remember Allah. And we know from the Quran that in the remembrance of Allah hearts find peace. And I personally believe that this is exactly what Japan needs. Think about this, Muslims summarize how amazing would that be. Alright guys, with no further ado, let's have a look. Islam. El-Sahara Al-Mato. You're a king of the pronunciation man. So as you can see here he says 60% of our customers are Japanese people. That is absolutely amazing so regular Japanese people which are probably not Muslim get exposed to halal meat. To a perception of religion period, as a sudden beginning, atheism is on the rise in Japan and therefore they have a bad perception of religion in general, not only Islam. However, what I heard so far from my Muslim brothers and sisters in Japan is that it's very easy to be a practicing Muslim in Japan. Thank God. El-Sahara Al-Mato. Why is that? It's Halal meat. Yes, yes, yes. Foods from Indonesia, Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. He says halal foods are popular all over the world now and again 60% of our customers are Japanese people. That's amazing. Hello, my name is Kaiju from Japan. I became Muslim in 2017, so already five years ago. Five years ago. That's amazing. So I went to Brunei to study abroad as an exchange student. But you may not be able to explain the story in detail. Okay, you're going to introduce me about Muslim culture in Japan, in Tokyo. And we are now mosque here. Can you show me? You don't think you always do here? Okay, let's start it. Let's go. That's mosque in the city, sir. Literally in the city. That's how we pray. All around the world. It's amazing for me to see this because as I mentioned previously on the Balkan, people say, well, this religion is only for the Albanians, only for the Turks, only for the Arabs. But that is not true. Back in the day when I started researching about Islam and I found out that the majority of Muslims on this planet, I actually Asians, I actually Indonesians. This really shared my world view. And then later down the line, I found out that out of all the Muslims worldwide, the Arab population was maybe 15%, something very, very low. So there you can see yet again how brainwashed people are. No, it's not a religion only for the Arabs. Yes, it comes from Arabia. It comes from that demographic. But guess what? So does Christianity. Christianity went through Europe and adapted to the pagan holidays, to the language, from Roman to Greek and therefore became an interface that was well accepted by the Europeans. However, it comes from the same place. With Islam on the other hand, it has been preserved in the original language. That is all. And that is why the Western Nationalists will tell you that Islam is an Arabic religion, not understanding the value in the preservation of the original language. The original language is Arabic. Hey guys, think about Jesus. What was he? He was Aramaic. And Aramaic is a sister language to Arabic. It sounds very, very similar. So when Jesus said God, he did not say God because he was not American. He was not white per se. He said Allah, which sounds pretty familiar, which sounds pretty close to Allah, of course. All of those religions are Semitic religions. Christianity adapted to the West. Judaism, on the other hand, state Semitic as well and state Ethnocentric. Therefore, it is not an evangelizing religion. However, Islam and Christianity are evangelizing religions. And Islam is the only religion out of those two that stayed in the original language. That's very simple. It's all written in Arabic. Arabic is also written in Arabic. The one you read is from the right to the left. The opposite of Japanese. Oh, the opposite of Japanese. Yes, yes. And when the letters stick together, the shape changes. I am also really studying now. It's really the first step. After I got my first year of university, I would like to go to a lot of universities and universities in the world. First of all, I would like to see all of them, but I don't know what to do with them. That's interesting. I have some difficulties. This is a question that I have been asked. I was born and raised in Japan. I had never been abroad until I entered the continent. Oh, I see. Of course, I didn't know the life of Islam at all. However, in 2015, when I was in my third year of university, there was an opportunity to study in a country called Brunei. In Brunei, 70% of the country was Muslim. Oh, my God, so he was. In 2015, a Japanese journalist was killed in the middle of the country. Oh, I see. It was an era. So, I didn't have much of a negative image. I only had the information to see in Japan. When it comes to Japanese people, when Islam comes out to the media, it's a negative thing. In Japan, I've never seen anything negative. Everything is connected to the negative news. However, when I went to Brunei, my image changed to 180 degrees. So far, I've only seen in the media the image of Muslims. I had to live and spend my time in the form of studying. In that way, what they believe in, how they think, and how they act, I understood it little by little. As I was studying it, I got used to it. It was a wonderful way of living. In 2017, I returned to Islam. I got used to it. What was the first opportunity for me to go to Brunei? I've never heard of Brunei. That's right. I didn't want to go to Brunei. I used to like Southeast Asia. In Cambodia, when I went to the volunteer service in the education center, I wanted to go to Southeast Asia. I couldn't speak English at all until then. There was no place where I could speak English or study English. In the Philippines, I went to Brunei. I lived in the UK. That's right. I lived in the UK. The English system was very well-organized. From that perspective, in the Philippines and Brunei, I think it's a good country. It's the first time in Brunei. I thought it was a mysterious country. I didn't think of Islam. I wanted to go there. It was about half a year ago. I see. How much did you go there? I went to Brunei for half a year. That's plenty. I went back to Japan in half a year. That's plenty, man. I just spent three days in Malaysia and I absolutely fell in love with the people. At that time, I was still pretty Islamophobic. Therefore, I said, they're so nice because they're Southeast Asians. They have beautiful traditions and beautiful mannerisms thanks to Islam. Just spending three days with the Malaysian people changed my perception of Islam forever. At that time, I decided to become Muslim. That's right. I went back to Brunei to Japan. I was a university. There are many universities in the UK. Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and many other places. I heard a lot of stories. I asked them what they were like. I asked them what they were like. I went to Moscow. I went to Sri Lanka. I was told that I was Islamophobic. I was told that I was Islamophobic. I spent about a year and a half. I couldn't get out of my thinking when I started studying. I was confused. I was wondering when I would be able to get out of my thinking. I kept thinking more and more. I kept thinking more and more. I kept thinking more and more. That's how I started. That's how I started. I see. Many universities returned to the US and came back to Japan. They went back to Japan on a daily basis. Yes. I didn't have that. I went back to Japan on a daily basis. I tried to connect the relationship with Islam myself. Yes. I truly believe that if you experience that peace that Islam can give you, you cannot go back to the western culture or in his case the Japanese culture. This fast-paced life. This worshiping of work almost. That work is the highest good. And of course the lack of remembrance of God. Once you felt that peace, you cannot go back. And moreover, once you start digging into Islam and you see Islam what it truly is. Submission to the will of God. Once you grasp that concept it is absolutely impossible for you to become an ex-Muslim. What does that even mean? That you are now rebelling against God and this is the state that most people find themselves in unknowingly because they haven't learned to submit their will to God. This is why they are in consistent rebellion against him. Seeking everything else but God career, women, food and what not. But only Islam gives you a solution to all of those problems. It tells you worship God alone. Redirect your focus towards God away from this dunya away from this world. What else can give you peace but Islam? What do you think should be done in a hybrid way? It was a strong feeling in a good way. In a good way. It really changed my life. Next I want to know what happened after you started Islam became Muslim in Japan. How did you respond to the people around you? How did you respond to the people around you? How did you respond to the people around you? I think most of my friends live in the same environment as I do. They go abroad to study abroad. I had a lot of friends so I didn't have to go abroad. Of course. I just couldn't drink. That's all. My family was more religious than Japanese. I see. What do you think? There are a lot of things that can be used as a bad example. And this is why it's not surprising that the s**t rates are so high. If you have a bad experience, you don't seem to be religious. My mother told me not to be religious. But just like I did before I went to university, I only had a little image that I had. I had a lot of things to do. For example, I had a lot of Indonesian and Malaysian friends. I had a lot of Asian friends. I had a lot of Asian friends. I had a lot of people who had kommt from Farrakhan. I understood this because we have this view that Islam is this foreign entity from the others. Therefore, if you bring it closer by showing ethnically similar people, this will help parents. The information is changed to the information of the local authority. I think it's a way to support them. I'm living as a Muslim in Japan now. I don't think it's a Muslim country. I don't think it's a good idea to be a Muslim in Japan. Because it's in Japan? Yes. I don't think it's my job. In my case, there are a lot of things to be told about Islam. I think there are things to be told about Islam. There are a lot of things to be told about Islam. There are a lot of people who don't know about Islam. When you talk to such people, there is a chance to tell them about how it's going to be hard. I think they have a bad image. It's a chance to have a good image. I think about it and change my way of thinking. I'm working by myself right now, so praying is OK. I think it's because of the people working at the company. Yes, there are a lot of people who can't do it. It's a huge number of people who are working at the company, such as human relations, food, and school. I see. I want to come to Japan, so I'll send you a message. This is a little bit of a promotion. I worked as a carrier driver two years ago. I have registered in India and other countries around the world. In Japan, there are a lot of people who want to work at the company, such as engineers in Japan. There are a lot of people who want to find a job in Japan. I've been good for him, but I was more interested in finding out about how the life is for Muslims in Japan. I thought he was going to explain to us how easy it is to get halal food. For example, how many mosques you have in major cities like Tokyo, etc. Let's see. Maybe he will still say something. Thank you very much. You have for Muslims how easy it is for Muslim tourists to navigate through Japan because of the language barrier, etc. That would have been very interesting to me personally. So if we have any Muslim Japanese people watching here, please let me know in the comment section because I would really love to visit your country. As I said in the beginning, I was obsessed with Japan and I still haven't made it over there. It's kind of crazy because I've been living in Southeast Asia on and off for the past five years or so. It's absolutely insane that I've never made it over there, but Allah is the best of planners, of course. And this time, by going over to Japan, I'm actually entering the country for the first time as a Muslim. That's absolutely beautiful for me, so I'm sure I'm going to see a totally different angle on Japan. And moreover, I have this romanticized version, of course, to spreading Islam in Japan because I really hate to see them suffer like this. To be so work-obsessed and to see the s**t rates going up. Looking into Japan, into the warrior culture of the Japanese, into the honor that the Japanese people have. I can see such strong-minded people with only one aspect missing. And that one aspect is the biggest aspect of life indeed. It is the worship of God. Imagine taking this cleansiness, this discipline, this intelligence and combining it with Islam. The Japanese would be unstoppable. Alright guys, but this is it for today's video. If you liked it, leave it a thumbs up. If you haven't subscribed already, guys, please do so.
