The use of the crescent moon as a symbol on mosques is not rooted in Islamic scripture or the early traditions of Islam. Here's an explanation of its symbolic meaning and historical origins:
Symbolic Meaning
Connection to Lunar Calendar:
Islam relies on a lunar calendar for significant religious events, such as Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha. The moon symbolizes this connection to the Islamic calendar but does not hold any inherent religious or spiritual meaning in Islamic theology.
Unity and Community:
For many Muslims, the crescent moon has come to symbolize the global Muslim community and Islamic culture, though this is a cultural development rather than a religious mandate.
Adoption by Muslim Empires:
The use of the crescent moon as an Islamic symbol likely began during the Ottoman Empire (1299-1923). The Ottomans adopted the crescent moon and star, which were already symbols of Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), and they became associated with the empire and, by extension, Islam. This was more a political and cultural choice than a religious one.

I am an online Arabic teacher. I teach one-on-one online. This course is for learning the Arabic language properly, including:
1. Grammar
2. Poetry
3. Qur'anic examples
I hope the one who takes this course will stick with Arabic for the rest of his life since I focus a lot on the basics and build strong foundation. After this, learning any dialect should become easier. In fact, I believe after taking this course, he himself will be capable of teaching others.
@@graysonbrockk bro you are the most narcissistic person on the internet just stay in Texas your an embarrassment to America
We Muslim women love praying at home and the Masjid the fact that we have the right to choose if we want to pray at home or the mosque just says a lot how beautifully women in Islam are treated ✨✨🤍🤍🤍
you are such a clown
Not only this and the fact that women can't pray during period time also and can't fast as well
When I was a kid and started fasting I wondered why sometimes my sisters don't pray or fast and I was jealous at that time😂
Yeah but more ajr for praying in your home. Same as men praying in the mosque women get praying in their own home.
Is that so?

I've started a fresh Islamic channel with an innovative take on Islamic education. Additionally, I've developed videos where I delve into proving God's existence. In'Sha'Allah, it will be meaningful to you. Thank you!
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The dearest parts on the face of the earth near Allah are its mosques, and the most hated parts near Allah are its markets." - Riyad as-Salihin 1841
I once saw the prophet eating chicken.
Next time you quote Hadith can you mention is it sahih or Da"if Amazing Job Wassalatu wasalam ala Rasullah Wasalamu alaykum WarahmaTullah
Mohammad also said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives an property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah." Authentic Bukhari. Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24
Not during Ramadan the markets become mosques.
@@asadabadi1598 Hilarious to use a hadith which speaks about fighting the r4pist barb4rian polytheists of arabia and trying to twist it into it being a message against all, habibi if Islam ordered us to kill everyone we would do it, there is 2 billion of us, so you can stop trying to do this idiocy
Ali is a GEM!
I've launched a new Islamic channel with a unique approach to Islamic teachings. I have also created videos discussing my attempts to prove the existence of God. In'Sha'Allah, you will like it. Thank you!
This is lovely. May Allah bless you and guide you Grayson. We look forward to you becoming our brother in Islam
❤
Ameen! Wow Ustadha Fatima you're here too ❤🙌🏻

MashAllah. Your channel is exactly what my wife has been looking for. InshaAllah she finds it useful and you receive the reward for it. Ameen.
The dome at the top. It is for acoustics and if you want to truly understand it, he needs to go to ancient old mosques. The minarets were used to amplify the call and every line, material had a function. Nowadays … we have ac and speakers and etc for the mosque but the true architecture to me is the ancient old architecture. We are copying and calling it tradition and give some sort of mystical function to it nowadays it seems.
Wow that’s Ali? Mashallah, i believe we went to the same high school he was so cool, funny and was a great athlete 😎, and i think now I think we go the same masjid !! Alhamdullilah it’s so inspirational to see someone so dedicated and proud of their faith inspiring others ❤😊
please respect yourself
@@dustyzbrick9510bro stop being weird
The Prophet pbuh, was more then only a messenger, he was a warrior, a politician, a father, husband,friend etc. So everything that he did or said was an excellent example. So that's the sunna.
Yes, الحمد للّه
Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) is venerated by Muslims as the final prophet of Islam, but his influence extends far beyond the boundaries of religion. His life and teachings continue to inspire people from diverse backgrounds and beliefs to strive for moral excellence, compassion, justice, and humility. His legacy as the best role model of humanity is a testament to the enduring power of his character and the universal principles he embodied. Whether through his ethical conduct, his commitment to justice, or his unwavering compassion, Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) life serves as a timeless guide for individuals and societies seeking to cultivate virtuous qualities and build a more just and compassionate world.
Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), referred to as the "Seal of the Prophets," holds a unique and revered place in the hearts of over a billion Muslims around the world. He is not only considered the final prophet of Islam but also the best role model for humanity. His life and teachings provide a profound example of moral excellence, compassion, and leadership that transcends religious boundaries.
1. Moral Integrity
One of the most striking aspects of Prophet Muhammad's (SAAW) character was his unwavering moral integrity. His truthfulness, honesty and trustworthiness earned him the titles of “As-Sadiq” and “Al-Amin” even before he revealed the divine text. He upheld these qualities throughout his life, setting a high standard for truthfulness, honesty and ethics that continues to inspire people of all faiths.
2. Compassion and Empathy
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was known for his deep compassion and empathy towards all living beings. He showed kindness to orphans, widows, and the poor, emphasizing the importance of caring for the less fortunate. His famous saying, “He is not a believer who eats his fill while his neighbor is hungry,” underscores the need for empathy and social responsibility.
3. Tolerance and Pluralism
Prophet Muhammad (SAAW) promoted a message of tolerance and coexistence in a diverse society. He welcomed people of different faiths and backgrounds and established the Charter of Medina, which granted equal rights and protection to all residents, regardless of their beliefs. This document serves as a historical testament to his commitment to religious freedom and harmony.
4. Justice and Equality
The Prophet's (PBUH) sense of justice and commitment to equality is evident in his teachings and actions. He declared that all humans are equal in the eyes of God, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or social status. He challenged the prevailing tribal hierarchies and sought to eliminate discrimination and injustice.
5. Humility and Modesty
Despite his elevated status as a prophet, Muhammad (PBUH) led a life of simplicity and humility. He dressed modestly, ate frugally, and often helped with household chores. This modesty endeared him to his followers and emphasized the importance of humility in the pursuit of spiritual growth.
6. Leadership and Statesmanship
Prophet Muhammad (SAAW) exhibited exceptional leadership qualities. He united disparate tribes and communities in Arabia under the banner of Islam, demonstrating remarkable leadership and strategic skills. His leadership served as a model for subsequent Muslim rulers and leaders worldwide.
7. Family Values
The Prophet's (PBUH) family life provides another dimension to his exemplary character. His loving and respectful treatment of his wives and children serves as a model for healthy and happy family life and relationships.
8. Forgiveness and Mercy
One of the most powerful lessons from the life of Prophet Muhammad (SAAW) is his capacity for forgiveness and mercy. Even in the face of persecution and hostility, he advocated for forgiveness over retaliation, exemplifying the Quranic teaching that “good and evil are not equal. Repel evil with what is better.” The best tribute to the Prophet (PBUH) is act on his legacy wholeheartedly.
He also kept and sold slaves, as well as segs slaves, had multiple wives (inc a child bride, if you accept the hadiths about Aisha), oversaw massacres (Khaybar e.g - after which he clearly 🍇d Saffiya), demanded protection money (like a mafia boss) and stole property. There have been 10s of thousands of better examples of people throughout history.
A new channel has been launched, offering a distinctive approach to Islamic teachings. I've also made videos aiming to substantiate the existence of God. In'Sha'Allah, you will find it valuable. Jazak'Allah!

If Jesus is the truth, are you afraid?
As someone who was "forced" by his father into being religious, I had massive resentment towards Islam and Muslims. Forced to memorize the Qura'an by the age of 12, forced to do all my prayers on time or it was the belt...etc. Wasn't a good way. It made me bitter, agnostic and borderline aethiest. For some 12 or so years of my life, I was on a personal vendetta to question everything about Islam.
As a young Arab individual who grew up in the US, I thought my assumptions and personal digs at Islam were top tier. I thought I had the answer. But as a I grew older, and ALLAH gave me more Hidayah (gift, in this context meaning guidance) and the more I continued to attempt to poke holes in Islam, the more I began to understand what I was forced to memorize.
Now, Alhamdu Li ALLAH (Thanks and praises to ALLAH), I'm a stronger Muslim than I have ever been. I still believe my dad went about it the wrong way, but I am now grateful for what I have been "forced" to learn. I have now taken my same debating skills and knowledge against Muslims and Islam and now, I instead use it to defend both.
So, please. Feel free to question Islam all you want. I'm sure Brother Ali will be more than happy to provide you with whatever answers he may have. And if you'd like a perspective and an explanation on things from someone who was against Islam and is now for it, I'd be more than happy.
Alhamdulilah! Please if you read the Books of Imam Qayyim RH, please try them! Very insightful and filled with Beneficial knowledge.
Brother Ali may Allah swt bless you and increase your knowledge

You were amazing akhi❤
I’ve been going to this mosque for the better part of 13 years, this the one day I didn’t go and you were there haha. Crazy. Knew instantly where it was from the first second.
MashaAllah, Ali gave you the great tour and understanding of islam, much appreciated
@@muawaztausif Jazakallah kheir
hi Grayson am from Perth, WA, I wish you all the best in your spiritual journey .. I hope you will find the inner peace through your journey .. and when you finally find it just listen to your heart dont look back 😊
And bro Ali masha Allah .. you give us a lot of reminder and valuable lesson .. i love how you describe the deen in less than 10 words 🫰
2:27 domes were actually made because back then, roofs were not well reinforced so there was a large risk of collapse, so domes always played an engineering role to support the roof by reducing its flat surface, same thing with big gates, they are usually curved and pointing upwards so the weight above it doesn't cause it to collapse. So yeah it was just made as an engineering method back then and although it might be a little useless now, architects follow the general style of mosque building since the 7th century.
Learn something new every day
if i'm not mistaken, another reason is because of the acoustic properties of a dome. back then there was no PA systems so the people at the back wouldn't be able to hear the imam. the dome made it so that the sound could travel all the way to the back and the people at the back would be able to hear the imam's voice clearly
@@adityatama2334 yep that too
@@adityatama2334
It's more "the place" where imam is standing (can't remember the name of that place where imam stands to lead the prayer) not the dome .. but fome helps
Makes it more recognizable as a mosque
Graydon May God guide you to this journey of Truth further so your life in the world and life after this world will be successful.
You should visit Sabeel Ahmed. I believe he is in Chicago, and usually invites non-muslims to have friendly tour and discussion about Islam and religions.
Texas to Chicago is 16 hours away by car... He is in Texas
He's also not a non Muslim
Great suggestion for him tho
@@ginsan8198 it's not strictly for non Muslims is it?
@ I believe Dr. Sabeel Ahmed welcomes everyone in the Islamic & community center that he frequently attends to.

Your name is Shakib... bro you were born Muslim. Don't declare for another faith
Shakib is a muslim name bro.
May god(Allah) guide you to the truth brother/sister
A mosque doesn't have to have dome btw..it could look like a church even..as long as it meets the criteria for a mosque then its fine.
The criteria (as much as i know):
- a clean place
- not in old graveyard or like it
- no pictures no statues
Any other thing is for convenience of decore (carpets- domes -microphones...)
mosques don't have to be a building even it could be just 4 walls no roof.
This!!! We can pray anywhere as long as it’s not the toilet and it’s a clean place
But intentionally building it to imitate other religions is prohibited. CMIIW.
A new Islamic channel with a distinctive approach has been set up, featuring videos that address the proof of God's existence. In'Sha'Allah, you’ll find the content enlightening. Thank you!
I been watching his videos lately and I TRULY LOVE him Allah has choose him! My brother u are a rare breed I’m SHOOK by your interest in Islam in this day and age! Stay on right path and Jannah with be your ETERNAL HOME! ❤

It's good to see that you admire Islam very much and you are learning gradually.

Our brother swithed the saying of the brid 53:51 , the head is love and the wings are hope and fear but the meaning is there. A human mistake. May allah forgive us and guide us on the straight path. Amen
The reason why women is at back is that the different postures of praying involves bending down and that would be inappropriate for women to stand infront of men, to avoid distraction as its the place and time for God not for lust and minds wondering around. WOMEN is repected more by valuing them and keeping them protected.❤
Loving the positive vibes. Brilliant video that you put 2gether. Credit to you, Grayson, for the non-stop content. Salute 🫡 the gifted humour 👏
We don’t get distracted if a man is praying in front of us but if a man saw women praying in front of him? Well not comfortable
Not all women are like that, some may not be very good at handling temptation. In general, women can be attracted to men just like men are attracted to women.
i have also heard that a women's prayer is not accepted if a strange (na mehrem) sees you praying
is it right?
Sister, we are created differently, you are aware, aren't you?
This is one wisdom that we derive from the teaching of God and The Prophet, a lot of the times the wisdoms are not explicit, and it is something we derive from the teachings. That's always the primary answer to why we do certain things, because God who is the Creator of all creation knows us better than we know ourselves, and knows what is best for us, so by definition all his commandments including segregating the genders in the Mosque are done for our benefit, so we can focus on the connecting with God, rather than getting distracting thoughts about the opposite gender.
This actually happened to me recently when I went my local mosque, I was a bit late for the final prayer of the day Isha, and the masjid is on the smaller side so it was very full. I ended up in the final row, right in front of the women, and right away my mind is getting distracting thoughts, and most of them are not even lustful, but even worrying about random things, did i comb the back of my hair properly? Is my shirt tucked correctly? Am i standing too far back? My attention gets split between focusing on God, and worrying about what other people think, and it tends to happen more around the opposite gender, and I don't think I'm the only one, perhaps we have an innate desire to want to look more presentable to the opposite gender? I definitely notice that for sure. So this command has many wisdoms behind it. And this is just one of them.
Cause men are proved to be more sexually arosed
Love how ali starts wrestling him! Fun fact: it's a sunnah to wrestle in masjid. Men use to do it and alot of mosque still prepare wrestling for kids and adults to keep some activities in the masjid.
I think this video is one of the best video you did Grayson . I like Ali's answers.. very simple and convincing MashAllah. We need more videos with him. I wish Allah will guide you to the truth sooner.
@@ghaidaash3656 he's Muslim already Allah has guided him and he is on haqq
Interesting video Grayson, nice dialogue with your friend. in-depth of faith and submission to God.🙏
For example, in the Quran there is a command to pray, but the procedure is not explained in detail. So we will find the procedures or steps in the Hadith.
yes so true
Explained well with few words Allah humma baarik
Azalea don't be such a great liar, i am Quraaniin RABBANIIN WE REJECT WHAT YOU PARALLEL ISLAM BELIEVERS AND ISLAMIC IDOLS CALL ITS HADITH!!! WE NOT BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU CALL HADITH, BUT WE KNEW HOW TO PRAY FROM AL QUR'AN, ONLY BLIND HEARTED PEOPLES AND MISLED PEOPLES WHO CANNOT UNDERSTAND AL QUR'AN!!!! We knew how to pray and how many time from Al Qur'an, those books of hadith such books from your another gods, Competing with the Qur’an.
لا حول ولا قوة الا بالله العلي العظيم.
ولا اله الا الله وحده لا شريك له.
Yes my dad was talking to ne about how the brief rulings in islam are in the quran, and to the deeper explanation can be found in hadeeth
Wow! This video was very beautiful and kept me interested till the end…. Mashallah Ali really made great points and answers to all questions Grayson had this really encouraged me to take on more steps in my learning in Islam. Thanx Grayson for a great video and for never quitting to learn more and finding the truth. 🎉
Just my thoughts on the question at 16:30... the main reason you see a lot of people from the Middle East coming to the USA, especially young people, is education. Islam encourages us to pursue education, and because of education standards being usually being lower, people are culturally encouraged to go to international institutions for education.
This hasn't historical been the case. People used to go to.the muslim world for education until several decades ago when many of them started being invaded and bombed. Especially the Arab nations
Some Muslims move to countries like the U.S. seeking safety and opportunities, as some of the places they come from have experienced conflict and hardship due to external interventions.🇪🇺 For example, countries like Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, and Palestine have faced significant challenges because of the wars and instability caused by foreign powers including US, UN. So, while we value our traditions and social values, sometimes people seek refuge or better prospects in other countries due to circumstances beyond their control
But its haram to settle permanently in non muslim countries
Look at it this way. The Pharisees/Jews are all about the rules and putting too much rules on the people, which made them focus only on being "Holy" and they were prideful. In Christianity they've dropped many of the rules and are too focused on the heart / spirituality. Islam is a balance of both and the Quran helps guide us to be balanced. Sometimes its hard, but we have to stay in the middle path.
Great video! I didn't know it would be so interesting to watch your reaction as a non-muslim visiting a mosque for the first time. Your straightforwardness, desire to learn and both of your positive energy is refreshing to see.
The mosque looks amazing too! Would you mind writing its address, please?
so true
Do a reverse image search. Looks like the one in Richardson, TX?
I am a Muslim women, and I love how Allah put the responsibilities on men! And my money is my money, LOVE IT 😊

قال رسول الله صلى الله عيه وسلم(من آذى ذميا فقد آذانى)
وقال ايضا صلى الله عليه وسلم(الق السلام على من عرفت ومن لم تعرف)
وكان حبيبى وسيدى ونبييى المصطفى صلى الله عليه وسلم يدعو للمحبة والتآخى والإحسان والعطاء فجمع كل الخصال ووصف دين الاسلام بكلمتين هما ( الدين المعاملة) اللهم اهدى الناس جميعا الى الاسلام.
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Seven people Allah will give them His Shade on the Day when there would be no shade but the Shade of His Throne (i.e., on the Day of Resurrection): And they are: a just ruler; a youth who grew up with the worship of Allah; a person whose heart is attached to the mosques, two men who love and meet each other and depart from each other for the sake of Allah; a man whom an extremely beautiful woman seduces (for illicit relation), but he (rejects this offer and) says: 'I fear Allah'; a man who gives in charity and conceals it (to such an extent) that the left hand does not know what the right has given; and a man who remembers Allah in solitude and his eyes become tearful". - Riyad as-Salihin 449
this is just so great! Thankyou for both of you!
13:42 its also a must for men to pray in the mosque if its possible. but women dont have to, they can pray at home without getting to the mosque at all in their lives if they want
May Allah SWT bless Ali with infinite barokah for sharing his knowledge and Grayson for uploading it to the world. Aamin 🤲🏼
It is rational not to just say we heard, but we must search, read and look at the evidence and facts, and in this way, we will learn which path leads to the truth and the straight path. I love your mind, intelligence and good soul. I wish you success, health and lasting happiness.
You too, Ameen
exactly, the first surah revealed to the Prophet was to read/learn, as in gaining knowledges.
Wow Ali talks very eloquently, true ambassador of Islam yet just a regular guy
Wow, Grayson. You are so intelligent. You pointed out that the moon may be an idol. It is actually not part of Islam and was introduced way later by the Turkish into the religion as a "religious" symbol.
Which they took from the Byzantine Christians when they conquered Constantinople because it was on the Christian flag
Yes I mentioned it before you. "1:30 pretty sure the crescent moon is just for Muslims to know it's actually a mosque. Without it, sometimes it's hard to know if building is a mosque or not. You don't want to accidentally walk in a wrong building" is what I said. But thanks for putting extra historical info. Didn't know that
The moon is the symbol of Venus (or the Greek goddess Diana) who was the ‘patroness’ of Constantinople in antiquity
The crescent moon is merely a symbol used to represent the lunar calendar, which is central to Islamic practices like determining the timing of Ramadan and Eid. The moon itself does not symbolize anything divine or be an object of idolatry. The Quran says in verse
41:37 “And of His signs are the night and day and the sun and moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon, but prostate to Allah, who created them”
that's a great observation Grayson; at higher 'realms of thinking', some argue that there is also the spiritual belief to remove the worship of 'idols' within; stay safe in your personal journey, however it goes
I LOVE THIS VIDEO watched every second of it. I admire your curiosity and courage to ask questions and the way you are so passionate about seeking the truth grayson. I also appreciate Ali because he answered all the questions so well and clear may Allah bless him. Im so amazed by his knowledge and his ability to recall and answer your questions so well. God bless you both, keep making these videos. You inspire me to stay curious and motivated.

(Salalahu Alaihi wa salam): may Allah confer blessing upon him and peace...
(Alaihi al Salam): peace be upon him
in arabic when you greet someone you say : al Salamu alaikom, and he answers you baclk: alaikom al Salam, means (peace be upon you) and the other person answers (and the peace upon you, too)

Jazaka Allahu khairan brother,Thank you
Mr Ali explained everything about islam so beautifully... Amazing video.. JazakAllah khair❤
This whole video is wholesome
This is beautiful. Well done brother ❤
Nice video Grayson, I hope God guides you, you are a truly good man
bruh i genuinely love this man Grayson. And shoutout Ali he’s amazing for showing Grayson Islam like this
Allah senden razı olsun. Benim de yapmayı çok istediğim şeyleri o kadar güzel yapıyorsun ki helal olsun sana güzel kardeşim. Müslüman kardeşim.
36:39 I think bc all the prophets had wishes but they all used them except for prophet Muhammad swt I think bc he saved it for his nation آلامه
25:53 well my brother, imagine if everything was in the quran it would be really really long and big then , So the necessary was in the Quran and what's left is in the sunna .
Because islam covers all aspects of life it tells you even how to go to the toilet ,I hope you got the point.
Indeed. Quran is one book but how many libraries it gave birth too
That is right and the actions and teachings of the prophet were practicing Quran
Wow! That's great men! Dynamic, informative, sincere... Just mesmorising! Thank you!
Islam makes sense, also because we are very consistent with our answers. It all goes back to what the Quran teaches us. Hence why muslim people who follow the book, will give you the same exact answer, maybe in different tone and ways haha but still the same answers. Thank you so much for opening your heart to learn about our religion, brother. May Allah bless you.
And thank you, brother Ali. You've conveyed every word perfectly. May Allah swt bless you always.
I really enjoyed watching your video the past months! I feel like I am learning my religion more and more through the all the muslims you met. May Allah always guide your heart!
Masjid is indeed a home away from home :)
I will be visiting Masjid Nabawi and Masjidil Haram in less than a week, I am so excited please pray for me! And I pray for those who read my comments will go for umrah soon! Aamiin
I will pray for youu🎉❤ O Allah please let me meet with her in jannah❤❤❤❤
As a Muslim hijabi girl(wearing the head cover) I chose wearing the scarf by my own will totally AlhamduliAllah(praise be to Allah)
Nobody ever forced me to
And I believe it is my natural right to wear
Because in this way I obey Allah firstly
And secondly ,because I respect myself enough to show people what I want them to see(as what Allah permmited me to show to the public stranger men)
Rather than then chooseing which part of my body they want to see
So for all my girls out there,I would like to tell yall
We are precious and beautiful and no man other than our Mahrams (men permitted to as without head scarf)deserves to see our beauty
Don't belittle yourself because you don't need to prove to any man out there you are beautiful
Allah created you so OFCOURSE YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
I hope this inspires someone😊❤
Although I'm a fellow hijabi this still inspired me as it reminded me of the reason I decided to pursue a real, shar'i hijab, so thanks for the inspiration sister❤️❤️
@@PurpleberryForest AlhamdulliAllah💛💛
What about the thousands of women forced to wear it and persecuted for not following the law?
I am so appreciate Ali. Keep going, may Allah bless you inshallah.
The quran says to pray but doesn’t say how to pray. So we learn from the Hadith (prophet’s examples) on how to pray.
Love that last part from brother Ali may Allah (SWT) Bless Him ameen
Mashaallah the brother Ali in the video is well knowledgeable and spoken May Allah reward him in Dunya wa Akhira 😊🤲🫶🫶🫶
ameen
Jazakallah Khair! Beautiful the way Ali explained it to you and all of us!
Assalamun alaikum Grayson
Thank you for your video. Your questions about Islam are very very thoughtful and inspiring to all who wants to know Islam better from a true perspective. Thank you for your kindness.
The hadith about bowing Ali mentioned is this I think:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) explicitly discouraged bowing to anyone other than Allah. For example:
Mu’adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
“I came back from Sham and prostrated to the Prophet (peace be upon him).”
The Prophet said:
‘What is this, O Mu’adh?’
I said: ‘I saw them (the people of Sham) prostrating to their bishops and leaders, so I wanted to do that for you.’
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
‘Do not do that! If I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone else, I would have commanded the wife to prostrate to her husband.’
(Sunan Ibn Majah, 1853; Sahih)
I hope that you find all answers you're looking for. And thank you for sharing this amazing progress with the whole world. You're an inspiration for many people 🤲🏻 May Allah swt bless and protect you.
Ali is so wise MashaAllah. Very well-spoken in his answers.
Bro is like those kids at the masjid who flip and hop around inside 😂
One of the best videos I have watched in years 😊
Genuine and authentic one!
Grayson is open minded, honest and thoughtful Mashallah!
May Allah guide you to the right way.
16:33 im a arabic muslim who moved to europe. from personal expirence i moved cuz america statred a war in my country so i moved, and ill suppose most people who move to america have similar reasons
They bomb our countries and ask why we flee
I can't believe that I watched the whole 1hour video without getting bored for a second! You've chosen the right guy btw Masha'Allah his answers were very clear and simplified. Thank you and may Allah guide us all to the right path, Amen.
Wow this was a delight to watch the video passed by so quickly may Allah guide you and increase in your faith and worship Grayson 🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻
I love your energy, you are honest and curious but also respectful. May Allah protects you
One thing that can help you understand hadiths and Quran. It's like Quran orders you to do something and Hadiths tell you HOW to do it. It's like a guide book to Quran.
Equitibility not equality. We are different.
thats a beautiful masjid mashallah. Allahuma barik
This guy Ali, he's so knowledgeable Ma sha Allah. His way of explanation is so impressive. May Allah reward him and his parents as well who raised such a good boy Aamen
