Look at Islam, don't look at Muslims, Islam is perfect and Muslims are not, Muslims will always be tempted by Satan until they commit sins, but Allah is merciful and always asks Allah for protection. Islam is not for Arabs, Asians, Africans, Americans, Europeans, etc., Islam is for humans

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) of `Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion." حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي زَيْدٌ ـ هُوَ ابْنُ أَسْلَمَ ـ عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي أَضْحًى ـ أَوْ فِطْرٍ ـ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى، فَمَرَّ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ فَقَالَ " يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ، فَإِنِّي أُرِيتُكُنَّ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ". فَقُلْنَ وَبِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ " تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ، وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ، مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَاقِصَاتِ عَقْلٍ وَدِينٍ أَذْهَبَ لِلُبِّ الرَّجُلِ الْحَازِمِ مِنْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ ". قُلْنَ وَمَا نُقْصَانُ دِينِنَا وَعَقْلِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ " أَلَيْسَ شَهَادَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ مِثْلَ نِصْفِ شَهَادَةِ الرَّجُلِ ". قُلْنَ بَلَى. قَالَ " فَذَلِكَ مِنْ نُقْصَانِ عَقْلِهَا، أَلَيْسَ إِذَا حَاضَتْ لَمْ تُصَلِّ وَلَمْ تَصُمْ ". قُلْنَ بَلَى. قَالَ " فَذَلِكَ مِنْ نُقْصَانِ دِينِهَا ".

Infatuation and attraction do not usually develop in the heart except because of letting one’s gaze wander freely; failing to lower the gaze and refrain from looking at that which is prohibited; and doing that which strengthens this infatuation, such as listening to haraam songs, reading or watching love stories, letting one’s thoughts wander, and letting the infatuation take root, especially if one’s heart is spiritually weak and devoid of remembrance of Allah, may He be exalted.
@@apbmilitariesshe’s clearly old enough to be his mom, chill. In older peoples perspectives they look at youngsters as children even though they are adults. Also, with regards to lowering the gaze, this is to be done so you dont get attracted to them, which is clearly not the case here. Its okay to look at someone. If it wasnt allowed you cant even have a basic conversation or debate with anyone from the opposite gender, heck remove teachers from schools and make people drive with blindfolds on. Islam sets out rules which are meant to be for our protection and assistance, not to be read in an unreasonable way. Its inevitable to look at people. If you start feeling forbidden thoughts like feeling the need to touch someone or developing feelings for them or something worse like harrassing them, then lower your eyes to protect yourself and the other person from fitnah. Its not that difficult to comprehend. What is not allowed to be seen are the awrah of the opp gender, good luck lowering your gaze from that, considering how prevalent revealing it is these days. As a woman, I just change the channel when it switches to wrestling or boxing where men dont cover properly. Otherwise, we dont have much to turn against. Plus we women dont get attracted to the opp gender as easily as men do. Speaking for myself, never in my life have I felt attracted to a man or even had a crush like some people do, doesnt mean people dont, its just that I dont stare at people despite being goodlooking. I dont hang out with the opp gender unless for work reasons but I have my boundaries and dont get personal with men. Its one of the biggest reasons why women cover to protect themselves from strange men’s gazes and are comfortable in their space without being leered at or feeling exposed or an eye candy for others (ofc hijab has multiple other benefits too which most women understand but thats not the point). I was hired for my work ethic and professionalism not my looks or beauty, considering no man knows what i look like besides my mehrams.
This is such a beautiful wholesome conversation between good friends that love each other, and not only embrace their differences and being open to others experiences but also empathizing with others and being willing to learn and change. It's beautiful. Much love and respect from KC 🩵✌🏼️ Salamu aleikum, brother! Alhamdulillah, I'm grateful Allah has surrounded you with great friends, mashalah 🤲🏻
Gabe and Brock you are doing great dawah, white people and Westerners can relate and resonate with what you discuss re Islam. It’s awesome that Gabe’s parents experienced Medina and his mom experienced wearing the hijab & abayah. Maybe these conversations will have an impact on the 3rd young man!
This was amazing these see and hearing Gabe and his experience. It was nice to see all your friends listening so carefully. May Allah continue to guide you, keep you in good health and keep you on the straight path. Ameen.
Salam, come to Malaysia if you want to experience an Asian Muslim country without getting to feel the awkwardness from people staring at you and you'll get to enjoy loads of tasty food you've never tasted before. you'll be surprised of what this country would offer.
3 beautiful minded boys 💙 Imagine the peace if everyone were like this. Im happy for you Gabe, I really am. In the end, we all want guidance, truth and a connection to God. Even as a muslim myself, we still need guidance. May Allah guide us all to the truth.
To lower the gaze is to prevent breaking the God’s laws, to prevent indecent encounters, to prevent rapes, to prevent violations against humanity, etc.
Lowering your gaze has 0 to do with rapes, rape is a choice of a crime,because you can still commit the crime while married .rape is a sadistict act ,lowering your gaze is to protect your heart from lust
@@purplelove3666 You don't understand him. Lowering gaze could prevent you from imagining things which could lead to lust n rape. Men are full of imagination when looking at women.
@@purplelove3666 I highly disagree for example lowering your gaze would mean no watching porn and it has been proved that watching porn actually makes you see others as objects and in reality most content of porn are actually rape so yeah…not lowering your gaze make rape less criminal because you consume this content. Talking about marital rape the same occur if you don’t lower your gaze and become a slave to your own desires you will probably not listen to your spouse desires. You do realize that you CAN be married and STILL not lower your gaze. Right ? That’s why adultery exist and even worst incest…I agree on the fact that rape is a sadistic act but it’s extremely common too, so thinking that there’s no link between rape and not lowering your gaze is not logical. Lowering your gaze not only protect your own heart but make you respect others and especially women who are constantly sexualized and objectified in our society.
@@purplelove3666you you replied perfectly. Also how are you going to rape if you don’t even look at women. If you can’t look and touch then you wouldn’t rape. If you follow Islam, there is no rape. The problem is people not following Islam
18:11 its such a beautiful thing to hear that these two gentlemen see no diffrence in respecting/sexualising 2 diffrently dressed women. Often in this world modestly covered women (whether its a hijabi or justma modest outfit) will get sexualised and harassed regardless of their dress and therefore lowering the gaze is more important than dressing modestly in society. Whether men do it intentionally or not, excessive staring (let alone the thoughts that may come with it) is easily noticeable by most women and makes us EXTREMELY uncomfortable, whether this is done with a supposed flirtatious or creepy intent. I think this whole staring thing is a core component to the development of the male gaze and the fact that most women feel like they're constantly being surveyed by a male gaze even when there is no one in the room. now obvs uncomfrtable staring can be experinced by both genders but the centuries long history of invasive staring of women is what has developed it as a distinct phenomenon (e.g. we have to by shy/polite recipients of unwelcome attention)
First of all its amazing and endearing to see young ones in this age , that too in the West having these discussions. May Allah open your heart. Grayson you are doing a great job and Gabe barakallah feek. May Allah guide you all to the straight path. And as to what Kurt said at the end, we Muslims do believe in a Diety Who will hold us accountable for our actions. For example the same case you both mentioned, you both lower your gaze. But the difference comes from why. Like you feel its intrinsic, but we Muslims do as a submission to Allah. You must be believing that you are not accountable for your actions. But we believe we will be, rewarded for good. So the core belief of why you do is different. And the end result too, as we believe this is not our final abode. Allah has sent us the Quran so that we abide by it and enter heaven, which is the final abode for the believers. And the rewarding is based on our deeds and intentions. And I think that gives a meaning to this life. Personally I feel like if you do a good thing and its just like ' okay, good for you ', there is no purpose of this life then. Just live and die ? And what next then ?
Once you see nothing wrong with what you do, you will take the next step. You will continue doing that, aided by Satan, until you fall into sin. It starts with a minor temptation that you can get out of, as long as you don’t minimize it, then it gets stronger, step by step, until you cannot get out of it. People don’t realize that falling into sin is gradual. We shouldn’t be prideful, believing that we are stronger and better than falling into certain situations.
Boys ,i am epitetom of white blue eyed blond girl... Since i have discovered the utter logic in Islam .. ..I became most colored most black human on Earth.... Allhamduillah
@@Mk-kr1bii think she have become very humble, and no more may be she feels superior with her color, may be something like that if i understood it correct.
May Allah SWT. The Almighty always guide us all to the straight path, make it easy for us to learn more and practice Islam in our daily life. May Allah put us as the follower of Prophet Muhammad SAW. the one who have been guaranteed to enter paradise by the will of Allah SWT.
Asalaam aleykum guys , your approach to learn islam is very inspiring for us who born in the religion, keep good work brothers and Allah give you patience in your journey ameen
Its good to focus on what you have in common and encourage each other to goodness whether they are muslim or not. Everybody comes to Islam at their own pace and for unique reasons.
Be patient in this life, lower your gaze. And in the afterlife if you go to Jannah, you are rewarded with the most amazing beautiful believing women and hoor el3een
What gabe said and his explanations were so well thought of mashallah and it rlly did answer the questions. I don’t rlly like how Kurt kept saying things were similar like the fact that he thinks the universe is god or smt is the base of where he goes wrong and were Muslims will all not agree with because we have a Creator and that creator is all knowing and never wrong and is the one who created everything. Because we can’t just appear on earth and that’s that it 100% makes sense that we have been created and the universe has been created by Allah because nothing can just appear. Also we pray 5 times a day and follow the rulings of the Quran and follow how Muhammad peace be upon him lived. Like no going to clubs and not falling for shaytans whispers as in its ok to just drink alcohol, be arrogant, be selfish, do drugs… and obviously we’re human beings so we are not perfect and that’s why this is a test were Allah tells us to avoid those sins that he clearly wrote in the Quran and seek his forgiveness if we sinned in this dunya.He wants us to know that the fast pleasures of this dunya is nothing good (like for example drinking alcohol is rlly bad for you and that’s why it’s forbidden and also eating pigs is forbidden because researchers found thy they do lead to parasites in the brain and they are a very dirty animal)(everything that is forbidden for us to do written in the Quran all have a reasoning for it) compared to how heaven will be if we seek forgiveness and are able to enter heaven with Allahs will.
Gabe I'm really impressed by your knowledge & practice. Our actions are governed by laws. I’d prefer to act in accordance with Allah’s laws as He is the crater of time, space, the universe, us and all is creation. Hence, He’s the most appropriate Lawgiver.
look at our beloved brother! assalamu alaykum brother. so proud of you and proud of ur efforts with brock. sending a big hug from the heart. until we meet in paradise inshaAllah
In the Qur'an, "lowering one's gaze" (Arabic: غَضَّ بَصَرِهِ, ghadda basarih) means to cast down or avert one's gaze from something that is forbidden or inappropriate. This concept is mentioned in several verses of the Qur'an, particularly in relation to modesty and chastity. Surah Al-Noor (24: 30-31), Allah commands believers to: "Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what they do. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts..." In this context, lowering one's gaze means avoiding looking at members of the opposite sex with lust or desire, as well as refraining from gazing at forbidden things such as pornography or immodest images. The purpose of lowering one's gaze is to maintain modesty, chastity, and spiritual purity, and to avoid situations that may lead to temptation or sin. It's a way of showing respect for oneself, to others, and to Allah. Wallaahu A'lam
Masha Allah to your convert friend as well as you two for trying to find the truth which is Islam May Allah guide and protect you all from any thing that would disturb the guide Allah is blessing you guys Masha Allah ❤️
I AM IN MY MID 60 NOW. WHEN I ARRIVED IN THE U.S. AS A TEENAGER IN 70s, FROM PAKISTAN, I HADNT THE FAINTEST IDEA THAT WHITE AMERICAN TEENAGERS WILL BE DISCUSSING ISLAM. LET ALONE, ACTUALLY ACCEPTING IT AS A TRUE RELIGION. LET ME TELL YOU, YOU HAVE MADE THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION OF UOUR EXISTENCE. MY FAMILY HAS A RUN ON OF WALI ALLAH, MEANING FRIEND OF ALLAH. I BELIEVE, I AM ALSO ONE OF THEM. ALLAH HAS GIVEN ME A SPECIAL LIFE EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE, MANY TIMES OVER. SO, IF ANYONE SAYS TO ME, THAT I PROMOUNCE THAT ALLAH DOES NOT EXIDT OR THEY WILL KILL ME. I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO DO THAT. I WILL SIMPLY TELL THEM, DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. THIS IS THE LEVEL OF MY CONVICTION IN ALLAH AND ISLAM. ALL I CAN SAY YO UOU MY FRIEND, UOU HAVE GOT THE RIGHT ONE, BABY! PEACE ABD LOVE, MY SONS. ❤️
“The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts become fearful, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord they rely “- Quran 8:2
That’s why I can’t understand him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why he still Christian ?! He knows hundred percent is it not true but he still follows it. THATS WEIRD
Regarding the being only 10 guys whte people in the Mosque, well it depends where you are, if you are for example in Albania, or Kosovo in the Mosque all of the attendees will be White.
(Matthew 4:1) Jesus was tempted [James 1:13) God cannot be tempted (John 1:29) Jesus was seen (1 John 4:12) No man has ever seen God (Acts 2:22) Jesus was and is a man, sent by God (Numbers 23:19, Hosea 11:9) God is not a man (Hebrews 5:8-9) Jesus had to grow and learn (Isaiah 40:28) God doesn't ever need to learn (1 Corinthians 15: 3-4) Jesus Died (1 Timothy 1:17) God cannot die (Hebrews 5:7) Jesus needed salvation (Luke 1:37) God doesn't need salvation (John 4:6) Jesus grew weary (Isaiah 40:28) God cannot grow weary (Mark 4:38) Jesus slept (Psalm 121: 2-4) God doesn't sleep (John 5:19) Jesus wasn't all powerful (Isaiah 45:5-7) God is all powerful (Mark 13:32) Jesus wasn't all knowing ( Please re-read your scriptures properly Christians. Isaiah 46:9) God is all knowing And analyse the contradictions within. Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) was a mighty messenger sent by God.
A reply to Kurt; the Diety is teaching you, essentially, something it took time for you to figure out. You said that you "figured out" that looking lustfully at women made you feel bad, so you stopped. God promises us that the things he's teaching us in the Quran are all for our benefit, God doesn't benefit at all. Take a different example in fasting, or prayer, or charity to the poor, God is saying make these things a regularity in your life, for your own benefit. If someone figures some of these things out later in life, when he's 30, 40, 50 years old, he's wasted time not doing the things that benefit him for all that time. And the things God says to abstain from; alcohol, gambling, adulatory/fornication have already ruined him by the time he's figured out it's bad for him. These things were already known 1500 years ago and we don't live long enough, nor are we smart enough to figure out everything by trial and error, over our very short lives. Better to use the wisdom passed down over millennium, that has been proven to be true over and over. A believer in Allah doesn't have to keep re-inventing the wheel in terms of morality, he uses the blueprint of past. And there's wisdom in that.
For Jews, the headscarf was a symbol of purity and honor that pagan women did not have. They also made sure that their heads were covered while praying. In fact, the tradition of covering the morning prayer with a special rectangular fabric cloth called tallit, made of silk or wool with tassels on the edges, continues among Jews.
Mashallah, brother Gabe nailed it. And I mean no disrespect, but I feel like what the agnostic (I didn't catch his name) is doing, is that he is taking his morality from religion (probably Christianity) and then disconnecting it from God and acting like it was his own idea in the first place. For example, if someone grew up in a society that had never been exposed to religious teachings, and they were all atheists/agnostics, would they believe that lusting after women is bad? Would they believe that they should lower the gaze? If we look at the western society today, despite the fact that it was built upon Christianity, they still don't believe in those things that religion teaches, and so that proves that religion does infact significantly change how individuals and societies behave.
24:20 لأن الله زرع في كل البشر الفطرة السليمة ومعرفة الحرام من الحلال الخطا من الصواب ولهذا لا تحتاج الى ان تتواصل معه حتى تعرف ان ذلك خطأ او صواب. .وهذا لا يعني انك لا تحتاج الى الله في حياتك .
and that’s why i am muslim it’s because the idea of”god having a son “ is against the the idea of justice and equality he created everyone of us + for what reason would he have a son nevertheless he can have brilliant students who happen to be prophets
Salaam Gabe.. All of you guys should come to Indonesia & see the most muslim population in the world.. It's just like a piece of heaven on earth with warmest & full of smile people, great food & great island for adventure absolutely..
Allahumma Barik Gabe is on the haqq May Allah continue to keep him steadfast and May Allah guide Kurt to the truth Ameen and lastly Allahumma Barik Grayson for your fervour and dedication towards learning about Islam May Allah continue to illuminate your mind, heart and soul with the light of Islam. Ameen.

Absolutely 💯
Gabe's face tells us more than 1000 words😊
I can see it too, ma shaa Allah
Yessss his face looks amazingly peaceful because his face reflects his soul.
I’m always impressed by young people who find religion on a deep level, because I was so distant from it in high school and college, and now it’s the most dear thing to me.
The fact this didn’t escalate into an argument is awesome

Gabe is so calm, looks contented and smart.
May Allah guide you to Islam. You are positive youths.

i like how this video is calm and his friends genuinely listening to him explaining his journey, so cute. Allahumma barik!
Barakallahu fiik Gabe..may Allah give you reward.

p.s : Gabe really had great answers, he's a revert so I was afraid he wouldn't be able to answer all these questions but he did and did it perfectly.
Faith makes all things possible boys you are incredible the way you are having discussions and learning from each others
White, black, brown, yellow are all equal in Islam. No color discrimination at all. It's only your piety that can bring you nearer to God.
I always love to hear the journey of a revert, cause I were born muslim and i should be gratefull about this. But when i was younger i never been as gratefull as today. Alhamdulillah. Wondering if Gab fam is reverting?
Gabe May Allah guide you always.... Your face have a (noor) Masyaallah)
Even we as muslims are learning from this kind of discussions.
Keep the good work.
I wish you guys the best of this life and the best of hereafter. More guidance from Allah. Abdulahi.
Gabe seems so genuine!.
Exactly bro,
If you're White and Muslims
You'll be actually on Top.
You'll influenced your own people easily.
Existing Muslin also get's their faith stronger as they see more influential people seeing the Truth.
That's why God chose one person from every Corner to spread the Monotheist Faith.
So questions is ,
ARE YOU THE CHOSEN ONE ?

Its one of the biggest reasons why women cover to protect themselves from strange men’s gazes and are comfortable in their space without being leered at or feeling exposed or an eye candy for others (ofc hijab has multiple other benefits too which most women understand but thats not the point). I was hired for my work ethic and professionalism not my looks or beauty, considering no man knows what i look like besides my mehrams.

This is such a beautiful wholesome conversation between good friends that love each other, and not only embrace their differences and being open to others experiences but also empathizing with others and being willing to learn and change. It's beautiful. Much love and respect from KC 🩵✌🏼️
Salamu aleikum, brother! Alhamdulillah, I'm grateful Allah has surrounded you with great friends, mashalah 🤲🏻
Awesome bro Brock... I wish you the best reward from Allah.❤
Gabe and Brock you are doing great dawah, white people and Westerners can relate and resonate with what you discuss re Islam. It’s awesome that Gabe’s parents experienced Medina and his mom experienced wearing the hijab & abayah. Maybe these conversations will have an impact on the 3rd young man!
As of human beings our differences is what makes us unique May Allah guide you through your journey with the right path inshallah 🤲🤲
This was amazing these see and hearing Gabe and his experience. It was nice to see all your friends listening so carefully. May Allah continue to guide you, keep you in good health and keep you on the straight path. Ameen.
Goncratulation son you have chosen the the oath of Islam may God Bless u n Protect u always, so happy for you, Beirout, Lebanon
Salam, come to Malaysia if you want to experience an Asian Muslim country without getting to feel the awkwardness from people staring at you and you'll get to enjoy loads of tasty food you've never tasted before. you'll be surprised of what this country would offer.
How can i make sure i receive the greatest maleysian experience??
Same in saudi too
3 beautiful minded boys 💙 Imagine the peace if everyone were like this. Im happy for you Gabe, I really am. In the end, we all want guidance, truth and a connection to God. Even as a muslim myself, we still need guidance. May Allah guide us all to the truth.
amin
Its for consistency. How you do something, is how you do everything. Its for discipline.
الذي يجلس في الوسط كله هدوء ويقين وحكمة ونور..ماشاء الله
I love how Gabe explaining things ❤
Mashalah really great topic and happy that Allah guide them and I hope they become stronger Muslims believers
To lower the gaze is to prevent breaking the God’s laws, to prevent indecent encounters, to prevent rapes, to prevent violations against humanity, etc.
One solution to the million abortions done annually in only America but billions totally in all west
Lowering your gaze has 0 to do with rapes, rape is a choice of a crime,because you can still commit the crime while married .rape is a sadistict act ,lowering your gaze is to protect your heart from lust
@@purplelove3666
You don't understand him. Lowering gaze could prevent you from imagining things which could lead to lust n rape. Men are full of imagination when looking at women.
@@purplelove3666 I highly disagree for example lowering your gaze would mean no watching porn and it has been proved that watching porn actually makes you see others as objects and in reality most content of porn are actually rape so yeah…not lowering your gaze make rape less criminal because you consume this content.
Talking about marital rape the same occur if you don’t lower your gaze and become a slave to your own desires you will probably not listen to your spouse desires.
You do realize that you CAN be married and STILL not lower your gaze. Right ?
That’s why adultery exist and even worst incest…I agree on the fact that rape is a sadistic act but it’s extremely common too, so thinking that there’s no link between rape and not lowering your gaze is not logical.
Lowering your gaze not only protect your own heart but make you respect others and especially women who are constantly sexualized and objectified in our society.
@@purplelove3666you you replied perfectly. Also how are you going to rape if you don’t even look at women. If you can’t look and touch then you wouldn’t rape. If you follow Islam, there is no rape. The problem is people not following Islam
God is the POWER. QADR that is and runs the Universe Ameen
mashaAllh Gabe❤❤❤❤❤ you so humble ❤❤❤ may Allah guide your friends Grayson❤❤❤ and kurt❤❤❤❤
18:11 its such a beautiful thing to hear that these two gentlemen see no diffrence in respecting/sexualising 2 diffrently dressed women. Often in this world modestly covered women (whether its a hijabi or justma modest outfit) will get sexualised and harassed regardless of their dress and therefore lowering the gaze is more important than dressing modestly in society. Whether men do it intentionally or not, excessive staring (let alone the thoughts that may come with it) is easily noticeable by most women and makes us EXTREMELY uncomfortable, whether this is done with a supposed flirtatious or creepy intent. I think this whole staring thing is a core component to the development of the male gaze and the fact that most women feel like they're constantly being surveyed by a male gaze even when there is no one in the room. now obvs uncomfrtable staring can be experinced by both genders but the centuries long history of invasive staring of women is what has developed it as a distinct phenomenon (e.g. we have to by shy/polite recipients of unwelcome attention)
you guys talk and communicate like family brothers.
First of all its amazing and endearing to see young ones in this age , that too in the West having these discussions. May Allah open your heart. Grayson you are doing a great job and Gabe barakallah feek. May Allah guide you all to the straight path.
And as to what Kurt said at the end, we Muslims do believe in a Diety Who will hold us accountable for our actions. For example the same case you both mentioned, you both lower your gaze. But the difference comes from why. Like you feel its intrinsic, but we Muslims do as a submission to Allah. You must be believing that you are not accountable for your actions. But we believe we will be, rewarded for good. So the core belief of why you do is different. And the end result too, as we believe this is not our final abode. Allah has sent us the Quran so that we abide by it and enter heaven, which is the final abode for the believers. And the rewarding is based on our deeds and intentions. And I think that gives a meaning to this life. Personally I feel like if you do a good thing and its just like ' okay, good for you ', there is no purpose of this life then. Just live and die ? And what next then ?
Ma sha Allah! Be persistent! 👍🏻
MashaAllah. Great vid! should do more of it.
Once you see nothing wrong with what you do, you will take the next step. You will continue doing that, aided by Satan, until you fall into sin.
It starts with a minor temptation that you can get out of, as long as you don’t minimize it, then it gets stronger, step by step, until you cannot get out of it. People don’t realize that falling into sin is gradual. We shouldn’t be prideful, believing that we are stronger and better than falling into certain situations.
Exactly. This it.
Very true
Boys ,i am epitetom of white blue eyed blond girl...
Since i have discovered the utter logic in Islam ..
..I became most colored most black human on Earth....
Allhamduillah
As a Muslim, what does this even mean? InshaAllah just a case of language barrier 😅
@@Mk-kr1bii think she have become very humble, and no more may be she feels superior with her color, may be something like that if i understood it correct.
@@Mk-kr1bi lol i had the same reaction reading this comment - hopefully good intentions aH 😅
............... WHAT? Is this a bot comment? Also why is there likes on this comment, LOOOOL
Allah created humans differently so the world shouldn’t be boring,the goal is to know our creater.
May Allah SWT. The Almighty always guide us all to the straight path, make it easy for us to learn more and practice Islam in our daily life. May Allah put us as the follower of Prophet Muhammad SAW. the one who have been guaranteed to enter paradise by the will of Allah SWT.
Asalaam aleykum guys , your approach to learn islam is very inspiring for us who born in the religion, keep good work brothers and Allah give you patience in your journey ameen
Wow I absolutely loved this muslim brother ,the way he talks about Islam wow . May Allah bless y'all brothers ❤
Its good to focus on what you have in common and encourage each other to goodness whether they are muslim or not. Everybody comes to Islam at their own pace and for unique reasons.
The muslim brother looks bloody peaceful.
Best part is the agnostic helping the Muslim find the words to describe God.
Thank you for this beautiful conversation may Allah guide you all to the right path insha Allah ❤
nice three young men may Allah bless u all
Keep up the good work youngsters Allah just loves people being God loving and fearing at this age of time.❤❤❤❤❤
May Allah everyone guided by Allah to Islam
Be patient in this life, lower your gaze. And in the afterlife if you go to Jannah, you are rewarded with the most amazing beautiful believing women and hoor el3een
What Gabe had done, connecting directly with Muslims in the mosque to understand Islam better, is admirable. May Allah SWT guide u bros
What gabe said and his explanations were so well thought of mashallah and it rlly did answer the questions. I don’t rlly like how Kurt kept saying things were similar like the fact that he thinks the universe is god or smt is the base of where he goes wrong and were Muslims will all not agree with because we have a Creator and that creator is all knowing and never wrong and is the one who created everything. Because we can’t just appear on earth and that’s that it 100% makes sense that we have been created and the universe has been created by Allah because nothing can just appear. Also we pray 5 times a day and follow the rulings of the Quran and follow how Muhammad peace be upon him lived. Like no going to clubs and not falling for shaytans whispers as in its ok to just drink alcohol, be arrogant, be selfish, do drugs… and obviously we’re human beings so we are not perfect and that’s why this is a test were Allah tells us to avoid those sins that he clearly wrote in the Quran and seek his forgiveness if we sinned in this dunya.He wants us to know that the fast pleasures of this dunya is nothing good (like for example drinking alcohol is rlly bad for you and that’s why it’s forbidden and also eating pigs is forbidden because researchers found thy they do lead to parasites in the brain and they are a very dirty animal)(everything that is forbidden for us to do written in the Quran all have a reasoning for it) compared to how heaven will be if we seek forgiveness and are able to enter heaven with Allahs will.
Yall are good guys man. God bless you!
Mash ALLAH wolcame to islam❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gabe I'm really impressed by your knowledge & practice. Our actions are governed by laws. I’d prefer to act in accordance with Allah’s laws as He is the crater of time, space, the universe, us and all is creation. Hence, He’s the most appropriate Lawgiver.
look at our beloved brother! assalamu alaykum brother. so proud of you and proud of ur efforts with brock. sending a big hug from the heart. until we meet in paradise inshaAllah
Please we need a part 2, I didn’t even want the video to finish.
In the Qur'an, "lowering one's gaze" (Arabic: غَضَّ بَصَرِهِ, ghadda basarih) means to cast down or avert one's gaze from something that is forbidden or inappropriate. This concept is mentioned in several verses of the Qur'an, particularly in relation to modesty and chastity.
Surah Al-Noor (24: 30-31), Allah commands believers to:
"Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what they do. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts..."
In this context, lowering one's gaze means avoiding looking at members of the opposite sex with lust or desire, as well as refraining from gazing at forbidden things such as pornography or immodest images.
The purpose of lowering one's gaze is to maintain modesty, chastity, and spiritual purity, and to avoid situations that may lead to temptation or sin. It's a way of showing respect for oneself, to others, and to Allah.
Wallaahu A'lam
Masha Allah to your convert friend as well as you two for trying to find the truth which is Islam May Allah guide and protect you all from any thing that would disturb the guide Allah is blessing you guys Masha Allah ❤️
I love how they learning from each other with an open mind
These three guys are amazing...!!!
Maa shaa Allah Gabe is speaking better and with more humility than muslims born in islam .
I AM IN MY MID 60 NOW. WHEN I ARRIVED IN THE U.S. AS A TEENAGER IN 70s, FROM PAKISTAN, I HADNT THE FAINTEST IDEA THAT WHITE AMERICAN TEENAGERS WILL BE DISCUSSING ISLAM. LET ALONE, ACTUALLY ACCEPTING IT AS A TRUE RELIGION. LET ME TELL YOU, YOU HAVE MADE THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION OF UOUR EXISTENCE. MY FAMILY HAS A RUN ON OF WALI ALLAH, MEANING FRIEND OF ALLAH. I BELIEVE, I AM ALSO ONE OF THEM. ALLAH HAS GIVEN ME A SPECIAL LIFE EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE, MANY TIMES OVER. SO, IF ANYONE SAYS TO ME, THAT I PROMOUNCE THAT ALLAH DOES NOT EXIDT OR THEY WILL KILL ME. I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO DO THAT. I WILL SIMPLY TELL THEM, DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. THIS IS THE LEVEL OF MY CONVICTION IN ALLAH AND ISLAM. ALL I CAN SAY YO UOU MY FRIEND, UOU HAVE GOT THE RIGHT ONE, BABY! PEACE ABD LOVE, MY SONS. ❤️
May god bless your group. Gabe has an amazing story.
Islam and Quran is not just for one nation or one kind of people. It’s for the whole world and the proof of it is the days of Hajj in Saudi Arabia!
الله يثبته وينفع فيه 💚
How does this fan page have new videos of Grayson and on his real channel it doesn’t ????
I think that its an old video & in addition I think that he moved into a new apartment,!! My allah guide him
Prophet example is Modesty Reserve Awe of God and fear of Wrongdoing
A truly different perspective
“The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts become fearful, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord they rely “- Quran 8:2
Gabe may allah protect you brother
May God bless you Gabe
Grayson is 100 % opposite to christian belief.And he says he is christian😂
That’s why I can’t understand him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why he still Christian ?! He knows hundred percent is it not true but he still follows it.
THATS WEIRD
Give him time

A reply to Kurt; the Diety is teaching you, essentially, something it took time for you to figure out. You said that you "figured out" that looking lustfully at women made you feel bad, so you stopped. God promises us that the things he's teaching us in the Quran are all for our benefit, God doesn't benefit at all. Take a different example in fasting, or prayer, or charity to the poor, God is saying make these things a regularity in your life, for your own benefit. If someone figures some of these things out later in life, when he's 30, 40, 50 years old, he's wasted time not doing the things that benefit him for all that time. And the things God says to abstain from; alcohol, gambling, adulatory/fornication have already ruined him by the time he's figured out it's bad for him. These things were already known 1500 years ago and we don't live long enough, nor are we smart enough to figure out everything by trial and error, over our very short lives. Better to use the wisdom passed down over millennium, that has been proven to be true over and over. A believer in Allah doesn't have to keep re-inventing the wheel in terms of morality, he uses the blueprint of past. And there's wisdom in that.
Absolutely! If we do those bad things early on, we grow older and what have we done for ourselves? We have wasted precious time, absolutely agree!
Masha Allah brother. Well said 😊
Yes!
I see beautiful Islam end of thr tunal insha Allah. ❤

For Jews, the headscarf was a symbol of purity and honor that pagan women did not have. They also made sure that their heads were covered while praying. In fact, the tradition of covering the morning prayer with a special rectangular fabric cloth called tallit, made of silk or wool with tassels on the edges, continues among Jews.
Good Friends! Always keep good friends.
Mashallah, brother Gabe nailed it.
And I mean no disrespect, but I feel like what the agnostic (I didn't catch his name) is doing, is that he is taking his morality from religion (probably Christianity) and then disconnecting it from God and acting like it was his own idea in the first place.
For example, if someone grew up in a society that had never been exposed to religious teachings, and they were all atheists/agnostics, would they believe that lusting after women is bad? Would they believe that they should lower the gaze?
If we look at the western society today, despite the fact that it was built upon Christianity, they still don't believe in those things that religion teaches, and so that proves that religion does infact significantly change how individuals and societies behave.
exactly
I love your discussion, guys!!! May Allah bless you all and guide the non-Muslim ones! Amen 🤲❤️
Allah is awesome ❤❤❤❤❤. May He continue to guide the sincere souls and bless them abundantly. Ameen. Allah is truly the Greatest!!!!
Talk about how Islam is to better ourselves as human beings.
I’m proud of you Grayson ❤
24:20 لأن الله زرع في كل البشر الفطرة السليمة ومعرفة الحرام من الحلال الخطا من الصواب ولهذا لا تحتاج الى ان تتواصل معه حتى تعرف ان ذلك خطأ او صواب. .وهذا لا يعني انك لا تحتاج الى الله في حياتك .
the fact that we all need to have the same morals +the same physics laws etc… explains why we all need to agree on 1 god
let’s worship justice and genuine kindness and i think that gonna leed us to the truth
and that’s why i am muslim it’s because the idea of”god having a son “ is against the the idea of justice and equality he created everyone of us + for what reason would he have a son nevertheless he can have brilliant students who happen to be prophets
Salaam Gabe..
All of you guys should come to Indonesia & see the most muslim population in the world.. It's just like a piece of heaven on earth with warmest & full of smile people, great food & great island for adventure absolutely..
A Muslim believer must lower his/her gaze regardless of the opposite sex is good looking/attractive or not good looking/ attractive.
Allahumma Barik Gabe is on the haqq May Allah continue to keep him steadfast and May Allah guide Kurt to the truth Ameen and lastly Allahumma Barik Grayson for your fervour and dedication towards learning about Islam May Allah continue to illuminate your mind, heart and soul with the light of Islam. Ameen.
Islam is a peace for all humans.that is the difference we saw when Muslims led the world and now when western lead(free palestine🇵🇸)
