And then I have someone who says, What is your name? My name is Funga. It's a show kitchen. It's a show kitchen. Alright, we have Konkar Asala. He is saying one love show is called Fire. He is saying fire. Motofire Pasi, that one. Motofire Pasi Salah. Motofire Pasi Moto, you know. That one. Thank you so much for watching now. Sun Spare. Okay, it's not Sun. It's actually Sun. My bad.

Slayer. Sour. His name is John Matthews. You've got you. Don't worry. You're going to be playing that metal. I realize so many people love metal. So, Abdul. We have so many questions now. I still have many guys to shout out. Don't worry. I'm not going to forget you. If you're on the timeline, don't worry. I'm also going to show you some love. Now Abdul, start with Ramadan. Is it Ramadan? Is it Ramadan? Yeah, tell us. What's the difference? There is no difference. It's a matter of transliteration. Now, transliteration refers to taking text from a totally different writing system into the English alphabet. For instance, when you're writing in Arabic, there is this letter called Val, which does not exist in English. It's Val. Now, transliterating it into English, it becomes DH than Ramadan. Now, I'm going to say something that's a little bit unfamiliar to many people. Right. For those who speak Spanish or understand Spanish, they will know that the letter D in Spanish is never D. You don't say D. It's V. So, for instance, I'll give you one word like the word right. R-I-G-H-T in English, right? In Spanish, it's written as Verdad. Verdad. But now to pronounce it, you don't say Verdad. You say Verda. Verda. Like Madrid. They don't say Madrid. They say Madrid. Madrid. It's like my name. Philly in Djinn, yeah? In Kenya, we say Djinn, but in French, it's Jean. Yeah, you guys, Jean. And the starting was just like trying to take Shakespeare in English and put it into standard English. First guys who were Shakespeare. Or Greek and... Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. So, again, but they all mean the same thing. Now, I have another question for my manager who's asking, can you ask Abdul? Is he bad for a Muslim to listen to secular music? First of all, he's a rock star. Yeah, remember that he's a rocker, yeah? There's this reaction on my face. Yeah. And then I've crossed my finger. You're like... Again, I have to be very honest here. When I started the show, I mentioned so many very... Yeah, and you have a show that is Al-Nashid. Al-Nashid. Yeah, and you play music, yeah? I tend to delve so much into Islamic music because of... It has, yeah. Yeah, there is that. Now, secular music, I'll take some references from the Quran where Satan says to the Almighty Allah, he says, give me all the time in the world and I'll go and deceive people on earth. And then he says, one of the tools I'm going to use is instruments. I'm going to use my voice to mislead people on earth. Very true. Yeah. And it's even in the Bible, right? Yeah. And in the Bible, people say that Lucifer was the best musician in the world. Yeah, he was. Yeah, but now, once again, there is this reaction on my face. There is this reaction on my face. Yeah. So, that's basically... It's not allowed because it says in the Quran, in Arabic, it says, وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا حُدُوا تَنْسِ الشَيْطَانِ And which means, do not follow the steps of Satan. And one of the steps of Satan is listening to music and all the temptations that he first flies. Yes, on that note, actually, apparently, as engaging in the history now, apparently now, Muslims are embracing music more, currently by the... DJ Khalil! Actually, the message is you'll find that the singing of some Muslims was singing, the Quran, which is really cool. And then now, coming out to my side, rock music. We have some serious rock bands, which are Muslim. We have some serious metal bands, which are Muslim. So, it sounds like... Now, what's the approach? And... Okay, when I started producing on the sheet, before I stepped aside from being the producer of the show and being the presenter... Oh, and I just took a T-shirt. Yeah. In East Africa, the reigning king of the Wasafi crew. He's Muslim. They are my plan now. We have Alikiba as well. He's Muslim. So, 90 years. There is being a Muslim and there is practicing Islam. Now, these are two different things. You can be a Kenyan and you can also be... Non-patrotic. Non-patrotic Kenyan. Oh, you can be a Kenyan who doesn't even live in Kenya. First of all, those Kenyans who doesn't know, those who say Nafumiliya come from Kenya. Exactly. So, you can be a Patriot and you're a Kenyan. Or you can just be a Kenyan who's not a Patriot. Yeah. In the same case, you can find Muslims who are just... We call them Waislamuyina. Those who are just Muslims because they do not practice Islam. Waislamuyina. And then, exactly. And then there are those Muslims who are really staunch. Yeah. Long beards. Not like mine. Longer than mine. Yeah. They wear the kamis or the kanzu and they perform everything in Islam. So, we cannot say that just because DJ Khaled is a Muslim and he DJs secular music, it's allowed for Muslims to do that. So, there is being a Muslim and practicing Islam. All right. Now, so, Abdul, I understand. You want to join me? You want to join me? You want to join me? You want to join me? Yeah, which one of you wants to join me? We'll do that. But now I'm still doing the show. No. You want to join me? Yeah, it's time. I think I want to be in that part. He's playing music. He's playing music so that you don't even understand. Philip, you're on his behalf. Yeah, I'm on his behalf. So, here's the thing. Before we go, today we're talking about mothers. And I want to know your perspective on that because we still have our Muslim sisters and mothers. What do you take? How does religion, or you just as a Muslim, how do you view your women? Because you have very many speculations. How is it right now, like how women viewed? And what do you take on Mother's Day? Well, Mother's Day is a very important day because it acknowledges the importance of mothers and it appreciates them. Right. And there is nothing more important and better than appreciating someone for the efforts that they have made, whether it's a mother or not. But now that it appreciates mothers, let's get to the Islamic perspective of women in Islam and how mothers are viewed. Now, there is this hadith of one Sahaba, our own companion of Prophet Muhammad, who came to the Prophet and asked him, he asked him, who should I give respect and honour to after Allah and the Prophet of the Almighty Allah, who is Prophet Muhammad, and he said, your mother. That was the response. I talked about that. You mentioned that. Yeah, I mentioned it. Yes. You have done some very good research and I understand that you've done some very good research. Yeah, yeah. The hadith goes on and this guy asks again, who should I give my respect and honour to after the Almighty Allah and Prophet Muhammad is born? And then the Prophet stays for the second time, your mother. Yeah. And then he asks again for the third time and the Prophet says, your mother. And all this companion is not satisfied. So he asks for the fourth time this question and now the answer comes, your father. So the mother has been mentioned three times and the father has been mentioned only one time. Well, we know fathers are really important, but just carry on with the mother perspective. Yeah. In the Quran, it says that heaven is beneath the feet of your mother. Yeah. Right beneath the feet of your mother, which means that you're supposed to respect your mom and be very obedient towards them. And also one more thing to emphasise on the importance of mothers. Now this is to do with both parents, which says all children are supposed to obey their parents even if they're old, even if they become old and sickly and disgusting, do not say to them, and then there is this Arabic exclamation and how many people have come across it? They're, do not say that to them as well. It has been specifically mentioned. Don't say that to your mom. Parents. Oh, your parents. We remember all these levels which we've described mothers at. So it's very important to appreciate your mother and not only in this mother's day celebration but also across your entire existence. Yeah, throughout the year. You don't just respect them once. You have to respect them throughout 365 days of it. I want to do something very funny here. There's this joke which always goes like when the child is so smart, performing well in scientist's motherhood. It's the dance. That is my sign. That's my sign. And then when you perform it, when you start performing badly, they'll say mama. Let's do something very important here. There is no father tongue. Yeah. There is no fatherland. It's always mother tongue. Mother tongue. And mother tongue. Imagine, even the nature, like the nature itself, they call it mother nature. Mother nature. No one says father nature is a fit. We are doing this for the next. Yeah, so moms are very important. And thank you so much for your time and for coming. Thank you very much. We'll be school here. We'll be in school. We must see this class. Yeah. Don't stop. Yeah, I like it. And all of us here, we are present because of their moms. They gave us life, that labor pain, like it takes a lot. The least you can do is at least respect your mom and celebrate her. Yeah. Yes. Yes. And there's no child without a mother. You know. Even daughters for our father's art. Yes. You get to learn that. But mothers are very, very important to this society. So I think we're going to go back to music and then we're going to come back with more show. We have band profile. We have events that are happening. We have Freshman. So maybe just one or two music. And then we come, oh, oh, oh, oh, I think we go with band profile. As we break. I didn't say. I didn't say. Right. Yes. I think it's not fair. It's an African team. Yeah. I love your profiling bands that are from the year from maybe Kenya and Africa at large. And today we go all the way to Tunisia. Tunisia. Yes. So today's band, they have, they go by the name of Mirath. Mirath. Mirath. And Mirath basically just means legacy. Yes. Today I found it. Yeah. Mirath means legacy. Which language? Tunisian. Okay. So Mirath means legacy. Now. It's Arabic. Yeah. It's Arabic. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Because we chose it because it's mostly oriented. Yes. Arabic oriented. Arabic oriented. Arabic oriented. All right. So let me just tell you one or two things about them so that we can release Abdul to go and, you know, after today.
