 The first line in Quran says Bismillahirrahmanirrahim So start with the name of God who is merciful and beneficent Hello guys Hello Assalamu alaikum everybody Okay so today I invited Dahid and I want to ask you some religious question Oh sure I heard Pakistan is a very Islamic country True true yeah But we have 10% non-Muslims too Which is a very important part of our country You know 10% of a population which is 200 million is a huge number That the Pakistani flag is white and green right? The white part shows the minorities Minority ah And the green part shows the Islamic majority The Islamic minority too Exactly I didn't know that Oh yeah? I'm gonna ask you the main question Sure What does Islam mean to you? For me Islam means complete code of life Because it tells me everything about my life How should I do what? Whatever like how should I eat? How should I meet people? How should I respect people? How should I care people? How should I love people? How should I care animals? How should I care the environment? Everything So it tells me it is a complete guideline for me about my entire life Everything in my life Guide of your life Exactly it's the complete guideline Of course because as a Muslim we believe in all the holy books that were sent By God Covering everything that was described in the books previously So this Quran for me is a complete guideline for my life Everything like my education, my daily life My treatment with my family My treatment with my kids, my wife, my mom, my dad Everything it tells me how I should spend my life in a very nice way It guides me So that's why I call it a complete code of life I am proud to belong to such a school of thought That guides me about my everything in life So that is Islam for me Like you see when you ask what is Islam for you to people I have seen this to many people Oh you're Muslim? Oh what is Islam about? They would always start with like Islam tells us don't eat pork Don't drink So they start with the don'ts I mean why would you Why do you need to start with something that is not very important in your religion? What is more important in your religion? The first line in Quran says Bismillah Rahman Rahim So start with the name of God Who is merciful and beneficent So in the first line of the Holy Quran God tells me his features His specifications Which is merciful and beneficent So I want to have those attributes in me too Because I love the God that I believe in So if he is merciful and beneficent I would love to be merciful and beneficent In my life too Right? So if I'm not merciful and I say I'm a Muslim and I love Islam And I don't think it's the right thing Not only humans but also animals Plans and everything as I said People usually talk about the focus on the practicing thing True true true But the real thing is in your heart Inside Exactly true And as you said inside you know The word religion means Re reconnecting you to the nature What is the nature? The nature is God We are blessed with this beautiful nature And everything around us By God The connection between me and nature is religion So it's a connection between you and your God Right? So it's something inner thing Of course we all other practicing things Actions and those things are equally important But the base of religion lies in complete code of life It tells you everything about your life Not only just pray or fast Or don't drink or don't eat or stuff Reason and everything Exactly There's a logic you know Allah said you don't drink There is a reason Some Muslim replied Why we don't drink? Because it's in Quran That is also answer But there is a reason It's a very interesting topic that you just brought it up For me because I'm a Muslim I believe I have a faith I believe in Allah I believe in everything about Islam Right? Yeah it makes sense for myself That oh because it is written in the Quran Because Allah said this So that's why I don't do it It makes sense to me Because I believe in him But somebody who doesn't believe in Allah Somebody who doesn't believe in In what Prophet Muhammad It will not help that person That's right right For a non-Muslim I need to have an explanation about everything I need to have a logical discussion with them I will tell you a really good story It was about believing in God and not believing in God There's one of my friends He was from America He doesn't believe in God He'd tell me Why do you believe in God? I don't think there's a God It makes sense It's your belief that you think there's no God But it's my belief that I think there's a God And I have an explanation about it What is it? And I said like look bro Okay let's suppose that there's no God For example there's a really bad person Like Nazi You know Hitler There's Hitler here And there's me, Zahid I didn't kill anybody I didn't do any bad thing I'm just trying to spend an easy life and a good life So one day he just dies And I die too Let's suppose after death there's nothing That means This bad person and me Were no different Because it's over now So this guy did a lot of crazy things in life He's also he has nothing after life Me? I just tried to spend a good life And me? I had the same result after Just like him If that is the situation I would be really angry Right? Because I tried to like do good things And then this person tried like crazy things And we're at the same place So for me I need a justice system A justice system that controls the things That didn't get justice in this world There are lots of things that are not solved in this life So I need a solution system I need a justice system After this life or wherever I don't know Okay don't think we have a God or not It's a different topic But I need a justice system Do you believe in this or not? Do you think there should be a justice system for me or not? He said yes there should be a justice system So bra That justice system for me is God You know Atheists I have huge respect for them too Because they're different I have lots of things for exactly this But why I believe? Because I believe in this way So this is my belief So you know we always need to have a logical explanation about things To make people who don't know Understand about your culture It's not like I don't want him to be a Muslim I'm not pushing my Islam on him I'm just telling him why I believe in this And he could tell me the same why he believes in that Maybe he has a good explanation about that thing too So we need to talk to each other And have good discussions about each other So we learn from each other It's not about becoming a Muslim or non-Muslim Or Christian or non-Christian I think all religions are really beautiful You don't need to fight with them Exactly For me like all religions are beautiful man I think core of every religion is same Humanity Love We don't need to like you know push or pull or stuff like that Life should be beautiful for everybody you know And we shouldn't make religion a problem And fight with each other And try to make everybody in one religion Or other religion or something like that Or just try to live with love and peace and care That's what Islam teaches me In Islam in Quran there is a saying La ikraha fitdeen I'm not a religious scholar But I do know what I believe in Especially I was telling him about a story that When I was in Pakistan I only knew about most of the things about Islam only But after coming to Korea I got in contact with lots of religions Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism You know I mean Hinduism Lot of religions And I learned lots of things from them So now I think I'm a better Muslim Than I was back in Pakistan Because I learned lots of things And they strengthened my belief In the religion that I was believing in Oh, lots of things now make sense to me Yes, yes, the different perspective Give you more, you can learn more things Exactly, I learned a lot of things That what happened to me after coming to Korea And now I feel like all religions are beautiful And Islam is a really beautiful religion too And I'm really proud of being a Muslim And I'm really happy to have friends From all other religions too And yeah, we get along really good We talk, we debate a lot You know, but at the end we're really good friends We learn from each other And I think Islam as a Muslim As I said in the Quranic words Like Raha Fiddin There is no pressure or force in religion You cannot force anybody to be a part of any religion Or any culture You can talk to each other You can share information And then you know it's up to you, up to whoever We need to like respect everybody And love everybody, take care of them That is more important Believing in God, you know I mean I think it's the same thing That's what I believe in That's what I think But I'm still studying a lot of things And I'm trying to learn a lot of things I request everybody to learn about things To try to make more knowledge and information You know, that's what we should do I think, I think I'm not a religious scholar I'm just saying what I believe in and what I think No matter what your religion We came to make the harmony with Exactly, true Yeah, we don't need to fight Exactly, I mean yeah I mean just pray to God Like, hey God, please guide me in the good way That's it Even if you don't believe God, Alhamdulillah Yeah, exactly Everybody has a God, you know Even if you don't believe him There is a God That's what I believe in Okay, so thank you for coming And thank you for talking with very serious topic Thank you, yeah, it was really serious topic Yeah, so I hope, yeah, it's helpful Maybe Even if we have different opinions Like talking and debating It's really important, I think Thank you again Thank you everybody Thank you for listening to us And thank you for inviting me once again And it was really nice talking And we will keep talking Sure, sure Every now and then, guys Hope we could learn from you You could learn from us Please comment below And tell us what we need to talk about And what things could be better He's a really great guy He's a really great YouTuber Let's learn from each other And let's be better people Let's make the world a better place for everybody No matter where you're from No matter what religion, what culture What country, what racial background you're from We're all the same We're all beautiful people We should love each other Make this beautiful world More beautiful every day Thank you very much Bye bye Thank you
