- So, I'm starting a travel show. I've been working on it for months and want to show you the world from a perspective that I think is missing online and across television. Right now it's just me doing all of the filming and editing and scouting and design, but please stick with me and we will grow this thing together - and hopefully see each other in person around the world.
And we're starting right here in Turkey.
First, did you know that half of Istanbul is in Europe and the other half of this amazing city is in Asia? My family and I are here in Istanbul for the next month learning languages, deepening our faith, meeting thousands of wonderful people, and seeing why Istanbul was considered the center of the world for centuries.
But one very special place here has absolutely captured my heart and today I cannot wait to tell you all about the beautiful soul known as Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari. He was a very special companion of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
And much to my surprise, he is buried right here in Istanbul. Why? How did he get here, so far away from home, and why does it matter?
Let me break it all down for you, OK? It's a beautiful story.

Thank you all sooooo much for your love and support! Means the world to me
We love you brother alhumdulilah I followed you before Islam. Wallahi your heart is pure and Allah chose you♥️
That's the least we can and have to do brother!☝️
Salaam alaikum. Great video, watched it all. I completely agree, Allah has great purpose for you and the injustice they commit for censorship in shutting down your account is all part of His greater plan. May Allah keep your faith strong and keep you and your family well. You're good in front of the camera!
Do more vlogs brother 👌
May ALLAH S.W.T Bless You🤲
Thank you for sharing. Loved the blog!
So excited for your travel series brother ❤
Thank you my friends! I have so much to learn from you all on how to do this well.
Shaun please understand this, theres a lot we muslims need to learn from you. Im excited about this vlog concept a revert, a historian and politics all in one place. Looking forward to your videos.
I cried for almost 51 min watching someone’s heart soften to Islam
Yes you lost millions of followers on instagram but gained almost 2 billion brothers and sisters. Proud to call you my brother, Shaun. May Allah bless you and guide you and guide all those who are searching for the truth.
- your sister from Iraq
I’m not Palestinian as a mother I cry everyday about Palestine 🇵🇸
@@MY-in5cf ❤️🤲🏽
Please keep going, brother Shaun. For the majority of us here, we’re with you.
Thank you my friend
Thank you for sharing this. My father was Muslim and came to the US to become an engineer and make a better life for himself. As he became more westernized we were not raised in the faith but the Quran stayed with him and he passed important lessons & teachings down to us. I look forward to following you and your new ventures on this channel. May Allah continue to bless and protect you & your family.
Thank you for sharing this with me, my friend. Send your family our love.
U can always raise your children in Islam, Brother. U can choose to start at any time. Love and duas from Is'la'mic Em'irat'e of Afgh'anis'tan ❤❤❤🏳🏳🏳
Please start looking in to Islam.
Islam is only can save us add our children 😊
Aamiin
I cried tears of joy when you took your shadah. Welcome to the family, welcome to the ummah, welcome to Istanbul.
@@mislinabetulkeskin6747 May Allah elevating all of us ❤️🤲🏽
We are so happy to see you here in CZcams, and really it means the world to us our dear brother . We love you and we have your back We will never let you down . You have all our support ❤
Love and appreciate you all as well my friend. THANK YOU!
You deserve all the beautiful things in the world brother 🎉❤
May Allah bless you always Br 🤲🏻
Our duas are always with you!
Subhana Allāh, when Islam enters the heart and soul, the entire body willingly submits to its creator. I've seen the most beautiful change in people who revert to Islam. It's something that is unknown to Non-Muslims. I can summarize it in the aspect when the person returns to the original fitra, innate nature of the human kind. This fitra makes the person in a constant relationship with Allāh swt becoming God conscious, which leads to complete gratitude and peace.
Good to see you Br. Shaun and may Allāh swt bless you and your loved ones. May Allāh swt bless this Ummah and unite all of us on righteousness. Ameen.
Love you Brother foe the sake of the one who created all of us.
Thank you so much my friend. These words mean a lot to me
SubhanaAllah it’s so enlightening to read this. We love all our revert brothers and sisters and it’s such a blessing to see Brother Shaun and the noor on his face.
I've been a fan of Mr. King for a long time, and I'm so glad I can now follow him on YT. I'm a recent revert, and I consider him my big brother/mentor.
Thank you for educating us and showing us Islamic historical places. I look forward to many more vlogs. God bless you and bless your lovely family.
I always wanted to visit Turkey, in shaa Allah I will visit, Islam is the best❤
Pray that this channel is successful for Islam
As a sensitive father myself, I could imagine that we'd cry together in front of the Kabba when we're able to visit The Holy City and meet up there - insya Allah...
Absolutely dear brother. Inshallah
@@ShaunKingin sha Allah 😊
As someone who watched your steps towards acceptance of Islam and the worship of one God, I’m so heart warmed to see this. Looking forward to continue to see your journey that I’m sure has touched so many. Asalamu alaikum wa rahmatul Allahi wa baraktu 🩷 May Allah swt bless you and your beautiful family
Shukran brother. I am born Muslim and I have read and heard about the story of abu ayub al-ansari many times. It’s fascinating story as it is for all the stories of the companions of the prophet PBUH. Although I know the story, your way of telling is actually touching and I highly encourage you to keep spreading the beautiful stories of all the great companions of the prophet. You’re a great storyteller and I am positive that your narrative will inspire millions of people. May Allah keep you and all of us firm in our deen in this difficult time. May Allah protect and guide you and your family. May Allah strengthen your faith and guide you in every way. Amen. I also suggest reading the sahaba books. It’s called ( suwar min hayati sahaaba)
Thank you so much my friend
It was beautiful without editing. Felt so much peace and serenity watching this video.
As a follower from Instagram, I'm extremely happy to see you in this capacity! Keep striving forward!
Thank you my friend
Another Insta follower happy to see you on CZcams. You were the first to enlighten me to the Palestinian cause years ago. Safe travels to you and your family. ❤️🖤🤍💚
Shaun, we all been crying about Gaza too. It is so depressing that we are witnessing it in real time and no one is stopping it. I have no more tears to cry.🥺
You always have been so precious as a human right activist and now you are Muslim also. It means so much for us. And welcome to Turkey, i am so happy to see you here brother
This video made me so happy. When all that consumes us is the pain and suffering of our family in palestine. These little reasons to smile are few and far between. Thank you for showing the world our unity, and they can't silence us. Like seeds, we will flourish as Allah is the best of planners.
I kinda like this format actually. One take, handheld camera, just you talking. This feels more personal and intimate.
Barakallah
I am so glad. I've actually gotten great feedback on it.
Masha Allah brother is glowing, iman and noor (faith and light) has entered his soul, beautiful.
I had this experience when I went to Egypt for the first time and visited Al Ahzar university. Growing up in the west, and never had been to Mecca or Medina- it was the closest I had ever been to an islamic historical site that just made it so so real. It was an incredible and overwhelming experience and loved every second of it! Thank so much for sharing !
Exactly! That's precisely how I feel.
MasyaAllah your face shows Noor (light) bright. Alhamdullilah you are our brother in Islam. May Allah protect you and family. Aamiin
Thank you sir, for Being Here ❤
It probably doesnt feel natural for you to start vlogging on youtube. But mashallah you have excellent story telling skills to say the least. So please use what you have blessed with and leave your mark in dunya, leaving your footprints in the hearts and minds of masses. Your activism for the oppressed has been inspiring. May Allah make this journey easy on you and may your truth not be silenced and may your truth distinguish the lies and may it reach and change us for the better. Ameen
Thank you for this encouragement
Dear Shaun, I really admire you and the work you do. You always speak so deeply from your heart and it resonates with what im feeling. I cry almost everyday because of the genocide in Gaza and its comforting knowing im not the only one grieving this badly. I'm so happy you're going to start making videos. Also, welcome to Islam, subhanallah ❤
Thank you my friend
I love how we are learning Islam at the same time. Never been to Turkey but would love to visit one day
Absolutely! Rooting for you.
They were right! Travel the World specially show Muslim culture Islamic Historical sites and Heritages also show the world how loving We people are ❤😊
Omggg yes! I’m so happy about this!!! I can’t wait to keep watching. Shaun King, you are a great, kind, loving beautiful man. God used in a way for Palestine and Black issues that we will never forget! I love you so much! Thank you.
Shaun, your spirit is so much more calm and full of gratitude since I last saw any of your content. Grateful that you’re sharing your journey with us from this perspective and I look forward to seeing more 🤍
Thank you my friend
So happy that you’re enjoying your time in Turkey. It is a beautiful country with a warm culture and amazing food. Well deserved, brother Shaun. Have fun with your wife and stay safe.
Thank you so much my friend
Thank you for everything ❤
Thoroughly looking forward to your travel vlogs. Stay strong, stay united 🇵🇸
MashaAllah! Glory be to Allah who guides whom He wills. Without a doubt, there is no peace except His path. My brother Shaun I was moved by your soft heart to the Deen, May Allah keep you steadfast, Ameen. As an African American myself, I hear the echos of our beloved brother El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz in your voice and see his resolve in your actions. Much love ahki, I look forward to benefitting from your journeys.
This is the highest compliment I could ever receive.
Amazing!!! Thank you for sharing ! Shout out to Abu Ayyub Marulanda the BEST Tour Guide in Istanbul whose knowledge and passion for bringing the love and legacy of Abu Ayyub Al Ansari alive in the hearts of all who come to visit. ❤
Absolutely! We did a tour with our dear brother
MashaAllah .. I've heard the story of Abu Ayyub and now I can see the tomb of Abu Ayyub. Thank You My Dear Brother. May Allah bless You n Your Family.
Mashallah, it's clear your knowledge on our history is increasing at a rapid pace.
Thank you so much!
You are inspirational and thankfully compassionately committed to justice seeking and truth-telling. Thank you, young man.
Beautiful story, thank you for sharing. I had the opportunity of visiting Istanbul last year in the middle of winter, but unfortunately, due to the weather and timing, we were not able to visit Abu Ayyub's tomb. Insha Allah I hope to visit Istanbul again.
You may say that you've only been muslim for 5 months, but the knowledge and love that you've gained is truly heart warming. May Allah increase you, Ameen
May Allah bless you and your family brother Shaun. From a Palestinian brother of yours. May Allah reward you in this life and the next for your support.
Happy to see your face and hear your voice my brother! Looking forward to this series.
Thank you my friend.
So happy to see you in another platform spreading positivity and awareness. Keep going Shaun. You have been an inspiration to me since you became viral with the black lives matter movement in 2020 and now with the horrific Palestinian genocide. You're a beautiful human ❤
May Allah bless you and your family on your journey. Also, your voice for the Palestinian cause is TRULY appreciated! Thank you from your Palestinian friend 😊
It's my honor. Thank you my friend.
Thank you brother Shaun for doing all the work you do, it's my first time calling someone brother and I loved it, I hope to meet you in Istanbul In Sha Allah I don't know, I wish I knew where to find you there but I'll come to Istanbul next week hoping you meet you :)) I don't think you'd need edits or a camera man your videos are just perfect and people watching you like me watch with so much love that they enjoy every single second, seeing you and your family becoming muslim was one of the happiest moments in my life; I wish Allah uses all of us to help our brothers and sisters in Phalestine and to free Phalestine 🇵🇸
Thank you so much dear sister. This means the world to me.
So good to see you!!! Welcome to your new experiences--your voice is appreciated!
Aameen Ya Rabbal Alameen, may Allah accept all our duahs for the Ummah of Nabi Muhammad SAWS

اَمِين يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِيْن
I was literally just thinking about you this morning and what a travesty it was that you were banned from Instagram. Love this! Can’t wait go on this new journey with you and your family ✊🏽🙏🏽❤️
Thank you sister
Assalamu alaikum dear brother Shaun. This was a touching video and I loved the tour of the burial place of Abu Ayyoub and your stories of the same. As a former follower of yours from IG, I was so impressed with your reflection on losing your channel at the end of this video. Congratulations on your daughter embracing Islam and May Allah make her steadfast. I visited Turkey over 20 years ago but limited my visit to Istanbul. Shukran Jazakallahu khairan for giving me a glance of that peaceful place! Looking forward to following you on your travels In Sha Allah.
Masha Allah brother Shaun, a very nice and humble beginning for your CZcams journey..
Btw, you should try praying Fajr (Subuh) prayer in Ayub Mosque in the weekend. You will be amazed about the number of people congregating in early dawn like Friday prayer..
A very inspiring experience during my college years in Turkey..
I have to travel this weekend but will be sure to do it before I leave Istanbul
Brother Shaun, so happy to see you online... Look forward to your journey and sharing it with us.. love your other half Rai, my beautiful sister..
Thank you my friend!
Brother shaun videos were so missed. Keep going, sir
I sure will, inshallah
Ascww brother Shaun you are so lucky to have emotions and crying, when you are telling us stories about Islam and our Prophet SallAhall Allihi Wasami, many people born in Islam not get this lucky, you are gifted for Islam and many people will become Muslim because of you to tell the truth of Islam InshaAllaha
This is a touching and personal journey for all muslims..connecting us to our great history. What an inspiring idea.. it suits perfectly. In shaa Allaah soon Makkah & Medinah! 🤲
Dear brother Shaun King I knew you are talented and this tour showed me and a lots of people who were watching with me an other side of you you should do more of tours like this. You melted our Hearts Brother please keep up the great work SO OF YOU. please continue the fund raising for your brothers in Gaza. You made us feel good donating during Ramadan.

I can’t wait to follow your travels. I am a lifelong avid learner.
Thank you dear sister
Thank you brother. Sending you love from Kenya. May Allah protect you and entire Muslim community. Amiin
Do brief interviews with other Muslims you encounter in your travels. Engage in conversations about life, faith, and their message to the world. Additionally, don't miss out on the chance to monetize this endeavor. You can also consider creating another CZcams channel, "Behind the Scenes," to further expand on this valuable interaction.
Brother Shaun you are truly a king in our eyes and on behalf of so many of us Muslims here in the US, we love and respect you for all you’ve done for Palestine. You gave us so much hope during a very critical time. May Allah SWT bless you and our dear Sister Rai and your entire family 🇵🇸💚
I cried so many times watching this video and seeing faith and love pour from your face and your voice. May Allah make you steadfast brother.
Walaikom salam brother. I just reverted 2 months.❤Thank you for all you do.
Welcome to Islam dear sister!
More power to you brother Shaun! God willing you will achieve all your righteous goals! May Allah bless you and keep you safe!
I'm so excited for all of this, brother Shaun! You are so inspirational and I'm looking forward to traveling with you through your videos!
Yes! This is what we all have been waiting for! Looking forward to your vlogs! May Allah always keep you and your family blessed and protected (Ameen).
Bless you Brother Shaun! You I have been a Muslim for ever, but the way you talk about your story, about Abu Ayoub's story is making me crying like I have never cried, makes my body shivers like it's the first time I hear about Islam, those people who become muslims give us the strenght to hold on tight and go forward.
may ALLAH bless you and your family! Love and support from Tunisia.
Sending you so much love, my friend
Nothing but love for you! I really enjoy travel shows so I’m looking forward to seeing this grow
Been following you for a long time Shaun. Have never questioned your righteous work. Happy to see you taking this approach for you followers. Keep fighting the good fight King! 🫡
That was so beautiful, I had tears in my eyes. Please keep going. Thank you so much! Jazak Allahu Khayran❤

@@ShaunKing you are in our heart Shaun.you doing great and we are so proud as Palestinian ❤️ we hope you’re legacies from about Palestinian continues !
I think shining a light on travel in muslim countries that often not explored or revered as much would be amazing!, especially adding some islamic history would be amazing!, i will be watching!
Shaun! I used to live in Eregli - drive East along the Black Sea. My father built a huge steel mill there and it changed the economy in that region.
allahaısmarladık from Frances
I love that! Thanks for sharing
Wow, dear brother Shaun... I'm so thrilled you started these videos. I'm happy to see your luminous face machaallah and I'm delighted by your voice and the stories you share. Istanbul is a very special place and yes, the tomb of our master Abu Ayoub Al Ansari, may Allah be pleased with him, is probably Europe's most exciting place. Me and my wife follow you since the beginning of the g.nocid€ in Ghazza and we thank Allah for your work and we screamed with joy when He chose you, Dr. Ray and your daughter to be part of our Ummah. We love you for the sake of Allah and we pray for you and your family. May Allah reward you and may He grant victory to our people in Gaza and to everyone facing tyranny and oppression all over the world 🤲🏻 Salam from France
Wa alaykum as salaam. Al hamduillah my dear brother. Because of the wicked unfairness of our judicial system, I'm unable at this time to go to Istanbul. But seeing you there after your reversion is truly special to me. May Allahu ta'ala continue to bless you and your family. When in NE Ohio dear brother reach out, in shaa Allah.
AllahumaBarik! Nice to see you bro Masha’Allah Tabark’Allah. In’Sha’Allah one day I get to visit in the meantime I’ll enjoy your videos!
Through the whole video, I was excited to watch, see and listen to you. I am so happy, that your wife, daughter and you found the one true peace in this life and hereafter In Sha Allah.
In the Topkapi Palace, you can see the sword of David, the stick of Moses, and the sword of Muhammad sav. (pbu all of them!). You will not believe your eyes. It will touch you, promise!
And as your Turkish brother, I am also very happy, to see you visiting Türkiye.
May Allah swt protect you, your family and your beloved ones, wherever you go! Amin
OK! I am absolutely going to go there soon, then, inshallah
Jazakamu Allahu khairan - May Allah reward you with goodness. You are on the right side of history for standing up for justice, standing up for Palestine 🇵🇸. Allah has chosen you; may you be blessed with infinite blessings in both worlds until we are all united in Jannat Alfirdaus Alala by the mercy of Allah.
Also; for future educational beautiful videos like these; if able to add time stamps; thank you Br. Shaun!
