Should i hold it like this? like this, it’s like when you go prison, you know Let’s start with this one it starts with the ‘’S’’. Something to do my school? What school of... Ok. I can guess this. ..thought is Ali Dawah? Me...I’m an extremist Hanbali. OK, let's go for You know what? Let me see what the end is. OK, let's see. OK, let me guess. I think it's going to be maybe my country. Let me see. Yes, I know these people. I know them too well, you know. Yes, I'm from Turkey.

As you can see, that's why I'm here, from Kayseri. Yeah, we are known as quite business people. Very dangerous also. OK, let's go for this one. What sect? OK? What do you mean by that? I’ll stick with Sunni. OK. This one. OK. What religion was Ali Dawah before Islam? I had no religion. I believed in a higher power, but I didn't have any religion I lived by. Nothing that was personally followed. Maybe that was a religion, but I don't know. Not following religion. Maybe is a religion. Yes. Ok, so one-two-three-four That's the fifth question. Let’s open the end. What does Ali Dawah do for a living? Well, I used to do Uber, but I don't do anymore.

So now after six-seven years, I'm full time in the dawah. So yes. Let's see. Where did Ali Dawah study? OK, so I think from that aspect, it's more personal experience because in the dawah it's an art. It's not something that, you know, you won't have a scholar to come and do dawah because dawah is not just done by what you know, it's more of a strategic. Experience. It's how to know how to answer what style to answer it, when to answer it. So there's a lot of elements, so it's not very simple as, i get knowledge, i'll give dawah. It doesn't work like that. You have to have experience. And that's why Speaker's Corner is a good starting ground because it's like a dawah gym.

That’s where you go and train. So, yeah, I would personally say it's experience on the ground. Let's go for this one is. Is Ali Dawah married? I mean, if you mean married one wife, then no, I'm still single. You know, because in Islam, I'm joking, but yeah, I'm married. I'm happy. And by the way, I'm not looking... I'm very happy Alhamdulillah. How to contact Ali Dawah? Easiest way Instagram. The best form. I check my Instagram. Other than that, if you come to the park may be, very difficult. Sometimes I can't contact myself that I'm so busy. OK, this one at the top. Oh, my age... Take a guess how do you think i am? -33 Really? Are you sure about that? -32 -33 Yeah 32. But that's very good.

Look, see, I told you it's going to come out. Is Ali Dawah... No. Ali Dawah marriage documentary. Yes, the golden question of our time. Inshallah, we’ve given day to valentines day... -We want you to give your word that you are going to publish it on valentines day. The thing is, my word is always, I want to get it out. Wallahi i want to get out more than anyone. But you know Allah... if Allah doesn’t allow... What can I do? You know. And I say Inshallah as well. Why God ? God, is this for Atheism? All right. Let’s go for this one. Why God created us?

Well, we don't know the exact reason why he created us, but we do know our purpose of creation is to worship him Allah says we do not create the mankind and the Jinn, except the worship us. Now worship doesn't mean me bowing down or in Sallah position. 24 hours. Worship is a way of life. So, for example, if I am walking to commit a sin and I realise and I abstain from that sin that is worship because I've just acknowledged I have a lord and I'll be accountable for that sin. I've just performed the act of worship by avoiding going to that place. Before I eat my food i say Bismillah. That is a form of worship. Well, how God speaks to us? With Qur-an.

He talks to us from Qur-an That's his speech. And he talks to us, and it's enough for you. if you have the Qur-an while God speaks to us, he will give you full guidance to your life. Let's go for this one. OK. Is not helping me. OK, interesting. So why is God not helping me? That's important question and I feel like this question can lead a lot of people to maybe atheism because bad things happen. I was watching a video and there was someone saying, Why does bad things happen to good people? And the person doing the video will say this is actually flawed because what you mean by why does bad things happen to good people, you know? But the thing is he, if you think about it...

What do you define as bad? What's bad to you? Because argument’s sake if I'm somebody who doesn't pray, I don't follow religion, etc. If I get into an accident and after this accident, I realise death exists. I realise that my life is short and can end any time. I realise that the car I live from materialism got destroyed in a couple of minutes and it means nothing. after that, if I started to pray and start to fix my ways and I die and I'm on the day of judgement and I have become someone who is a believer, who prays, who gives his Zakah and it all goes back to my accident. Now the question I have to ask is, what happened to me that was that good or bad?

That was the best thing that happened to me in my life. If that didn't happen to me, I would’nt not be practising. So what someone perceives as bad was the best thing that saved my life. How God looks like? OK. We don't know how Allah looks like. We affirm his attributes, his names that we know of, but how it looks like we don't know, but we will see him in Jannah. The best thing that we’ll have in paradise is to see Allah. Why God made teachers? Well, teachers.. We can see the teachers as the prophets, because the prophets (SAWS) and many prophets came to teach us the Tawhid.

So I would personally say God made teachers in that sense to teach us the oneness of God, how to connect to the god almighty, why we're here and where we're going, and they are the greatest form of teachers. So he made teachers So on the day of judgement, these teachers will testify that did they convey the message to you and you will say yes. So then it's up to you. Did you pass the exam? Because these teachers, you know, they told you the truth. Did you or did you not? So these are the reasons why maybe Allah. God Almighty has sent teachers. So we don't have any excuse of, I didn't know, I didn't hear, you know etc...

because god almighty and the people the angels will ask you, why are you coming in to hell? Yeah, he was amongst those who, you know, rejected.
