Imagine having to do this every single day, and all of that for half a bucket of water,
and that's why here at SPOT, we are creating boreholes, fresh drinking water for the whole
village all with the turning of a tap. Make sure you donate today.
This is my brother, he's not a Muslim, but he said he's still going to fast with us, like
a G. So what you saying no food no water. No, no, I haven't done nothing, no smoke nothing. You lying? Hand on heart.
Assalamu alaikum, guys, and welcome to another episode of Smile to Jannah. The drill music scene
is obscene, degenerate, and evil. It glorifies haram and, frankly, does the job of Satan. I don't
think there's any difference of opinion about this. One of the singers/rappers from this scene,
is somebody called Young Adz, who is a Muslim and posted a day in his life in Ramadan as a
vlog. No bro, please don't be harsh with him. Refute him akhi, no mercy. Calm down, the both of you. As
a Muslim, like as a rapper that's a Muslim, I was skeptical about doing this, bringing people to the
mosque, showing me praying and all this 'cause you get all of these. I don't want to be a hypocrite,
you feel me? Like I don't want to be doing this now in Ramadan and then next month you see me on
a vlog, high out my face. There's Muslims now that might be smoking bud or in the trap or drinking
lean right now and they might go ra 29 sober for the whole of Ram, I can do that and the people
that ain't Muslim, they ain't heard nothing about Islam and don't know nothing about no Muslims and
all that might go, what is this thing that's making... we got rich from talking about certain things you
feel me, so what is this thing that's making him stop that 'cause nothing else can't stop,
man? Ramadan is a blessed time and it can soften even the hardest of hearts and the hearts of these
drill rappers are no exception. In fact, I love it when I see these people from these degenerate
backgrounds- frankly let's be honest- pray and preach Islam because it shows they clearly
have value for it. Alhamdulillah. Let's just be grateful to Allah that we got this food in it,
shoutout everyone that fasted, hopefully we're good. This brother here, he's not even Muslim, he
fasted with us. I know some of the people will label such people even that you see only in
Ramadan, as "Ramadan Muslims", but I don't really see this as a criticism; rather, I see it as a
form of praise because think about it: somebody that's immersed in Haram for the rest of the 11
months, but for this one month they are on deen, it shows immense amount of willpower, strength,
and not to mention adhab and respect for this blessed month, and it proves that if you can do
it for this one month despite 11 months being out of it, then Allahu Akbar, surely you can continue
it, and who knows, maybe this Ramadan might be the time that it seeps down into his heart and
the other people's hearts and it might facilitate change. I got 10K for the mosque, Abs match me;
that's 20K for the mosque, you feel me? Everybody has their own time that's written for them. Yes,
you may give the most wonderful of dawah, but if it's not written for them to accept Islam or
become practicing there and then, then it won't happen, but your dawah is not wasted because the
seed is planted as long as you did it for the sake of Allah, and the seed might grow and bloom maybe
in a couple of days, a couple of weeks, a couple of years, who knows, but those people who think
I've done dawah mate, that person needs to accept, you have misunderstood a fundamental part of
Islam which is power ultimately does not lie in our hands, guidance lies in the realm of Allah,
he gives it to whomever whenever. Yes, we do whatever we can if it's written it's written khalas.
And then one brother said to me once, he said so you, you think this is the truth, I'm like yeah,
this is 100% the truth, and he's like so what would you rather die as a non-Muslim or a bad
Muslim, and I was like ohh. I said to Gutta, I said yo, today is the day, you went to the mosque, it
was Ramadan as well, took my shahdah fam, and I'm so glad he wasn't put off by the people who think they have
a monopoly over the religion, that if you don't conform to their level of religiosity, you're not
going to gain acceptance by them, that's them, you know what I mean, but we understand, yeah,
hopefully we're mature to understand that a lot of young people look up to these people,
yeah, these rappers. Where you coming from school? You fasting yeah? Every single one? Every single day?
They show this level of firstly respect for the religion, self-control, and restraint, and it
ultimately shows that they hold Islam above this lifestyle that they could be releasing tracks in
but they choose not to, and they choose to embrace Ramadan. And my final point on this is no matter
if you're the Top G, no matter if you're the greatest boxer of all time, no matter if you're
a rapper, we know we are nothing without Islam, we need it, these pleasures they are temporary and
fleeting but Allah is forever let's leave it there guys until next time, all right, listen I just had
this idea we're going to buy everybody thowbs, get changed and then go to eat. Asalaamu Alaikum.
