- čas přidán 3. 06. 2019
- Complex World goes beyond the headlines with real issues and real news. In the last week of Ramadan, we spoke to 'Everyday Struggle' co-host Wayno about being Muslim and the connection between hip-hop and Islam. We also talked to Imam Khalid Latif from NYU about the sweeping surveillance of Muslims that takes place in New York City and across the country.

As a man coming from a Christian background and isn’t that religious anymore(still believe in God), I always have respect and love for my Muslim brothers and sisters. 👍🏾
Thank you and us too❤
Yo I wish more people were like you mate. Good on you👍
Sounds familiar. If you believe in God you’ll fit in perfect with Islam my brother. Assalam’Walikum 😇
Ameen
Yay fam, respect and love back at you Brother :) maybe learn something bout Islam too, because "Knowledge is the only currency that we cannot be taxed on" 😜👌
I became a Muslim too no regrets Allahmdulillah
Dave green May Allah blesses you throughout your life ameen!
Subhanallah may Allah(swt) guide you.
Remember the Muslims around have a duty to help you and guide you, so don’t be shy in coming forward and asking for anything you need.
Mashallah
Welcome to the truth brother

unless you got student loans lol
@@LeilaAAification that's not the knowledge we are talking about.
"Knowledge is not understanding"
Unless they tax the books
though I guess that would leave only the scholars that have just memorized the knowledge
I became Muslim 12 years ago .
My mama became Muslim 10 years ago .
My 2 brothers became Muslim 11 years ago .
All praise is due to Allah for guiding us all to Islam .
All praise is due to Allah .

Complex a real one for touching on this topic, thank you for spreading word
Yeah it's beautiful

Hahah you think it’s real? The whole interview purpose is to make you think that they are not spying anymore and that everything is done. Include that pig who said I used to work with the NYPD! No he is a liar he is still working with them!

Thank you. You too and your family!
Eid Mubarak!!!!!!
Eid is your brother?
Go fuck your Ramadan!!!!
Reesa Rishi Ramdien what’s wrong? Why don’t u respect Islam
Kind of emotional. Seeing Islam talked about on a platform a lot of people watch. Islam is for the whole of mankind not a particular race or group of people. Allah say in the Qur’an “ This is the Truth from your Lord so be not of those who doubt “.
YAK- 215 it’s not for me boo 😂

@Rico 2x nigga wtf😂
@@temporary6715 u mean the pegan arabs who weren't muslims and just saw women as objects and buried little girls alive
That's not islam my ignorant friend u should do some research
There’s always gonna be people who hate our religion, they are either ignorant or ill informed.
Yes, it's true that there will be people who hate the Islamic religion and ideologies by their own preference and ideas. However, I think anyone who disagrees with the religion should bring up why they disagree through debates about the Islamic scriptures, what the scholars of Islam interprets it as, etc. People can then make up their own decisions based on evidence - both for apologists of Islam and ones who go against it. I suggest you watch Christian Prince debates as he brings up very interesting details about Islam.
czcams.com/video/V8YvT-ClTDQ/video.html
j choi He’s been debunked multiple times and doesn’t make physical appearances against top scholars or debaters. I wouldn’t call him knowledgeable by any extent, but only as someone who grabs at straws.
Jesus Christ is GOD
TJ Vincenzi god cant die
@@cryo2267 mm.. It's not about debunking, my friend. It's about seeking truth. It's about your soul and where it will end up after you die. Please consider this comment not as a rebuke for following false religion but as words from someone who believes what you're believing is a lie that would cause you to go to hell for eternity. The Allah that you hear about in Quran is not the same God who created you and me. He will not be there in your paradise. I'll pray for you and others in this thread. I love Muslims.. I've visited Central Asia and Afghanistan to meet Muslim brothers for sole reason to save them. You can think of me as someone who's lost in the head, or someone who actually cares for Muslims to be saved.
Wayno much respect for speaking on this.
This is dope. I like these types of videos that talk about subjects affecting people in America but aren’t spoken about in the mainstream.
Shout out to Complex for this one.

I just Converted to Islam alhamdulilah , the fastest growing Religion in the world. I feel happy! My Christian brothers what I used to think about Muslim or even the religions is not true.

This brother so correct!! Alhamdulilah!
I proudly come from the African American Muslim community that is nearly 70 years old. We have always aware that there might be some among us that were informants and FBI combatants but they would all end up either converting or leaving with nothing for their original mission.

This brother is right Fasting Ramadan does sharpen your mental state you mind feels more clearer not clogged up
MoeBulldogs2196 intermittent fasting is healthy but only to a certain degree. Even then, dieting tells you more that your diet is actually the bigger problem.
@@socialminds9894 yeah but he talking about ramadan fasting not intermittent fasting
MoeBulldogs2196 they are the same thing
And also cuz there are other people that don’t have food so some fast for that reason or both
Eid Mubarak my brothers

Best video in a while. Very informative.
"Knowledge is the lost key to a believer. "
O.N.E._tv Knowledge is the lost property of the believer.
This is not a quote of my own. This is a quote from the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.)
O.N.E._tv Wasn’t opposing it, but rather supporting it.
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The word of wisdom is the lost property of the believer. Wherever he finds it, he is most deserving of it.”

Appreciate this complex, more of this other channels need to learn

Great video, sub'd.
Eid mubarak everyone!
*Jesus was a Muslim.*
Of course! He submitted to the will of God.
Muna
Sub to my channel
Jesus never recited his shahada & he did drink wine. I guess he's a bad Muslim
samuel rigaud
Jesus proves you wrong
*BIBLE PROVES JESUS WAS A MUSLIM.*
*LANGUAGE*
Hebrew, Aramaic & Arabic share the same "root" language which is known as "common semetic"/ "dialect".
Moses spoke; Hebrew
Jesus spoke; Aramaic
Muhammad spoke; Arabic
The name for "God" is the same;
MOSES*- Hebrew- ELAH / ELOAH
JESUS*- Aramaic- ALAH / ALAHA
MUHAMMAD*- Arabic- ALLAH
Abrahamic Greeting "Peace Be Upon You"
MOSES- Hebrew- Shālôm ʻAlêḵem
JESUS- Aramaic- Shlama Alekhun
MUHAMMAD- Arabic- Salam Alekum
In Hebrew, Jesus is; YESHUA
In Aramaic, Jesus is; EASHUA
in Arabic, Jesus is; EESA
The letter "J" is NOT in the Hebrew alphabet.
The Romans Latinized the His name from "EASHUA" to JESUS to convert Him into a Roman.
Then, they added "CHRIST" from the Greek language which means "MESSIAH".
What language do you speak???
*LAWS;* Don't eat pork.
Leviticus 11:7
And the pig, though it has a divided hoof, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.
Leviticus 11:24
“‘You will make yourselves unclean by these; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean till evening. Whoever picks up one of their carcasses must wash their clothes, and they will be unclean till evening.
Leviticus 11:43
"Do not defile yourselves by any of these creatures. Do not make yourselves unclean by means of them or be made unclean by them. I am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves along the ground. I am the Lord, who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy."
Mathew 5:17-19
JESUS said;
*"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law (The Torah) or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.*
*For truly I tell you, UNTIL HEAVEN AND EARTH DISAPPEAR (Judgement Day), not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law (The Torah) until everything is accomplished.*
*Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.*
*Bible says if you eat pork or follow anyone who eats pork, you go to HELL!!!*
Isaiah 66:17
"Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following one who is among those who eat the flesh of PIGS, rats and other unclean things--they will meet their end together with the one they follow," declares the LORD.
Do you eat pork???
*CIRCUMCISION*
Luke 2:21
On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named JESUS, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.
Are you circumcised???
*FASTING*
Matthew 4:2
After fasting forty days and forty nights, He (JESUS) was hungry.
Matthew 6:16
JESUS said;
"When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
Do you fast???
*PRAYER*
THE JEWS HAVE A FORM OF WORSHIP.
Matthew 26:39 “He (JESUS) went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed to God (ALLAH).
Genesis 17:3 “Then ABRAHAM fell on his face, and prayed to God (ALLAH) (talked with him.")
Numbers 20:6 “So MOSES and AARON went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and they fell on their faces and prayed to God (ALLAH).
Joshua 5:14
Then JOSHUA fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and prayed to God (ALLAH)
Do you pray the same???
JESUS CONFIRMS HE IS A MUSLIM IN ORIGINAL ARAMAIC GOSPEL;
Luke 6:40 - In ARAMAIC
JESUS said;
"Ein talmeed na'leh 'al rabbo; shekken kal adam she'MUSHLAM yihyeh k'rabbo."
Translation in English: "No student can be above his teacher, but everyone that is a MUSLIM, can be as his teacher."
IF JESUS CAME TO THE JEWS, THEY WOULD REJECT HIM.
IF JESUS CAME TO THE MUSLIMS WE WOULD ACCEPT HIM BECAUSE HE IS A MUSLIM.
MUSLIMS SPEAK THE CLOSEST DIALECT TO JESUS.
MUSLIMS FOLLOW THE LAWS JESUS FOLLOWED.
MUSLIMS PRAY EXACTLY LIKE JESUS.
MUSLIMS BELIEVE JESUS IS THE MESSIAH.
IF JESUS WENT TO THE CHRISTIANS, HE WOULDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE. HE DOSNT SPEAK ENGLISH, HE DOSNT EAT PORK AND HIS FORM OF WORSHIP IS DIFFERENT. AND IF THATS NOT ENOUGH, THEY DONT EVEN KNOW HIS NAME. THE CHRISTIANS WOULD HAVE TO TEACH JESUS ENGLISH AND CHRISTIAN FORM OF WORSHIP.
THEN THE CHRISTIANS WOULD FORCE FEED JESUS PORK.
WHY WOULD JESUS WANT TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THAT?

Pop Smoke too reverted back to Islam in his teen years. This is confirmed by his older brother. SubahanAllah! May his soul rest in peace.
I fricking love that the Nypd and CIA wasted money and time for 8-10 years
I don’t because it lead to deaths of our brothers and sisters
sad thing is they could have used that money to stop actual crimes not spy on and try to incriminate innocent people
Black thought/Lupe fiasco/MosDef are the best Muslim
Rappers in amerikkka

Nipsey wasnt muslim
You should watch neopolean / loon... They muslim too.. Previously they roll with death row(tupac) / bad boy record(p. diddy)
Most of these rappers are Muslim. And half of the rappers in the U.K are Muslim. I guess just a lot of black ppl in general are Muslim
Ramadan Mubarak to all my Muslim sisters & brothers watching this now☺💖
Respect for doing this. You don’t see this form channels like Complex.
I hope more people become Muslims , people don’t realise but it gives a lot of confidence and hope .

Alhamdulilah brother🔥
I became a muslim on the tenth day of the past Ramadan and since then it's been great I been getting a lot of criticism from friends and family but I'm happy and that's all that matters to me I find peace every single time I salat not to be extreme yo but this is purity and truth in the purest truest form of them..... and yes I am still very much even more hip hop now than I ever been
I am happy for your reversion brother. "Indeed Allah is with those who patiently endure" (Surah Al-Anfal, Ayat 46). So, try your best to endure the criticism of others. Your positiveness and piety will change their attitude eventually in sha Allah.
I subscribed after watching .. nice one complex

Knowledge is better than wealth for wealth is reduced by spending whereas knowledge causes your spendings to flourish, and any good product of wealth ceases when it ceases to exist.- Imam Ali (A.S)
AIGHT COMPLEX! Appreciate you highlighting this topic 💪🏽
As Wayno said my friends, don’t paint an image of what a Muslim looks like based on what you hear. Reach out to a Muslim. Go to a mosque. They’ll be happy to have you. American Muslims today come in all different flavors. Connect with us :)
To my Muslim brothers and sisters, SMILE! No matter where you are in your relationship with god, be thankful for your faith. And don’t ever be afraid to come back to god. He’s always waiting to hear from you :)
Spread love to your non-Muslim friends and community members so they can come to you when they’re trying to make sense of all the negativity they see. You don’t have to be a scholar or a perfect Muslim (they don’t exist!) to open people’s eyes to beauty of submission to god. EID MUBARAK. May we live to see another beautiful month of Ramadan inshallah 🙏🏽
If people looked at it objectively and truly looked into it for truly what it is, Not this 2019 version of media tripe but dug into its fruits then surely you would see it for what it is. Islam is beautiful and nothing is more fulfilling for a man then a practicing Muslim wife and the brotherhood of his brothers. Those who know will know. Alhamdulilah for Islam. When you are guided by Allah it doesnt matter who is against you.
Sicarii and pleased parents habibi 😂😂
@@deen929 Parents are the default. Parents are the pathway to paradise but those who ridicule Islam and propagate against it are the true losers in life. They will never taste the sweetness of prayer in Islam and that is a shame. Once a person accepts Islam and they are practicing their deen only then will they feel the sweetness and rewards of success.
@RAETOOREAL Jesus(as) is a Prophet and messenger of Allah(swt)
Am so proud of my Muslim brothers
Thank you Complex this was dope.
I go to NYU and have had the chance to speak to Khalid Latif. I interviewed him for a report I was writing on anti-blackness in the Muslim community. He acknowledged and saliently explained the global issue of racism, particularly anti-black racism, and how deeply embedded it tends to be in South Asian and Arab communities, as well as how these communities need to do the work of eradicating these sentiments in order to create unity in Islam. They're even putting this into practice at the ICNYU. He's definitely an ally and a cool as dude. I'm glad to see him on here mashallah.
I am Muslim and proud!
Mashallah I love this, black culture is usually misunderstood and underrepresented in the Muslim community
Ah Yeah ..black culture is the Muslim community in America.. It’s only purposely ignored by foreign born Muslims.
This was well done. Interesting takes
Thank you for this. Very insightful!
The intersection between Islam and hip hop in the United States has evolved and grown to include socio-political motifs that reflect the turmoil and unrest throughout history. Political and social events have often had a powerful influence on the music industry's focus and what it promotes or criticizes.
May Allah guide and forgive us all Ameen
