Yo Ali mad funny video, but you forgot the part, where you go up to the desk to get your ticket, and they ask for your name and then, they get this all scary reaction and make you go see someother ppl, and then they take you in a room and then they ask you all these random stupid questions. OR
they make you sit down for 3 hours and then they let you go.
(response to comment from Siamak) Mohammad (saw) never forced people into Islam. His message was to worhsip Allah and Allah alone. Islam liberated us from worshiping idols and false gods.
The persians who lost, wrote their own version of history whiich the feed to their kids. Don't get me wrong, the Islamic Republic of Iran has nothing to do with Islam. The mullahs there only use the ISLAM stamp to promote their nonsense so I am by no way defending them. The problem is that iranian people think that the so called "islam" in iran...is Islam...IT"S NOT! and we Muslims know that.
Iranian people are so proud of their heritage because of their hardcore nationalism feelings. They fail to mention the dark side of their culture...fire worshiping....father's marrying their daughters...etc..etc...
Yeah, they have lot of rich culture, poetry, beautiful language and art but they only talk about the nice parts and conveniently leave out the rest.
As salaamua alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu!
It was funny, but not as funny as the first few videoblogs.
Jazakallah and May Allah (swt) reward you for your efforts.
Wa alaikumus salaam.
As'salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa baraktuhu. JazakAlalhu khairan for that. You dnt even hav to act weird to gt stopped, if you look remotely muslim, as u said be it sikh or hindu you will get stopped and searched. Maybe you should do a follow up, like what happnes to the Muslims on the plane, i.e. suspicious looks etc. After 7/7 in London, there have been more attacks on Muslims and I know people who dislike travelling on the trains now [Muslims] because they know if they lok suspicious anything can happen, we have a shoot to kill policy which means i can get shot oand killed travelling on trains if police think ur a 'threat'.
Salam..
Seriously, I had tears in my eyes while watching this video.. so much laughter isn't healty, i guess :)
Thanks, brother Ali..
InshaAllah you should look into Islaam further and with an open-mind, whichever countries you see around, and whatever so called 'islamic' systems you see now are not a true representative of Islam, as brother Ali said in his clip, look into Islam and not the Muslims as not all Muslims act accordingly to what Islam says. And about saying such things about out beloved Prophet Muhammad SAWS, maybe you should see how he truly sacrificed his life for a bigger cause before making judgement. The fact is he was allowed by Allah to marry up to that specific amount of times, we know he was not like any other person (he was given prophethood, we weren't, he was allowed war booty, other nations were not etc.) Why focus on he fact he had a certain amount of wives? Should you now look at the bigger picture?
nice, my favv one is the 25k wedding 1
Salam Bro,
This is absolutely hilarious!
Keep up the awesome work.
Salamualaikum
Wow! This is real talent bro. Keep them coming otherwise I'm going to have to watch them over and over again.
funny and original- good work

Thanks bro. The link has been fixed.

Salaam,
The other A'ishah directed me to this site and I have to say I love this video. Since about the age of 11, I would always be subjected to 'random' bag searches every single time I went on a plane. It had even happened before on a school trip....because of my name. As a young teenager, it was always very embarassing to have my bags practically torn apart by male security officials in front of me and the whole airport but as I got older, I got used to it and the airport started to be more discreet about my bag searches. However, I almost always got taken aside for the additional wand-ing, especially after I started hijab.
Recently, I flew and I beeped as I went through the metal detector. When they wanded me, pretty much every single thing I was wearing seemed to beep...hah.
My gold bracelet, my gold necklace which coincidentally was in the form of the Kab'ah, my ring, my hairclip under my hijab, something under my abaya....
My advice to any visible Muslim or Muslimah is too take extra precautions against the possibility of beeping when going through the metal detector because if you do they will first take you aside and wand you in front of the whole airport, then press on all the areas where it beeps. Then, they will offer to take you into a private room, where, in my case, they poked and prodded and 'officially' full-body searched me for about 45 minutes, until they let me go, close to tears, to catch my flight right as they were closing the cabin door.
It was pretty traumatic then, but as I look back on it, it becomes almost comical.
But, anyway, great film. I could definitely understand where it came from.
Salaam,
A'ishah - Not Umm Suhayb
Awesome, Alhamdulilah
keep up the good work
This is good stuff...you know what i mean ;)

I just came across your site through the connected web that is the blogging world.
anyhow, I was wondering... ever thought of sending your vids in to national tv ? I live in ottawa and we have this national morning show called "good morning canada" and they air a lot of home made stuff too.. this would be an AWESOME thing to do i think. and especially the impact it would have on society?
think about it :)
and good job guys/girls? (and sisters on the team?) .. your work is totally mashallah-able :)

Lol! Somehow I missed this episode! I recently flew (domestic) and made sure my abaya was a lighter color (cause I hear black is "more intimidating") and that my hijab was a 2-piece (to insure no pins set off any "random searches")...I am pregnant also and I had just enough to notice, but not enough for people to be really sure, so I made sure to waddle extra and place my hand on my belly alot so no one thought it was a bomb strapped to me! Sad I tell ya....sad
OMG THAT WAS JOKES!!!! LOVED IT..PLS CONTINUE POSTING OTHER VIDEOS!!

Assalamualaikum
When we came back to the US from India we were held in the airport for almost 3 hours. My 9 year old and 13 year old brothers apparently had terrorist-like names or something and were taken to the back with my mom. They asked them a couple of questions and had to go through protocols to clear them to allow them to leave.
Anyways..funny video. You have talent.
my sister and i love ur stuff keep up the good work
I usually dont post comments on blogs but this time i had to.
Wallahi I wish you had your own tv channel so that many people can benefit from your dawah.
We're watching keep up the good work!!!
May Allah accept it from you and grant you Jannat Al Firdows. Ameen
Your sister in Islam
Salaam Brother
I converted about 4 years ago (I was 13) and soon everyone began thinking I wanted to be a terrorist. People were especially concerned when I told them I converted on my own, it wasn't a family effort. What's great now, is that I can try my best to be a good role model, and explain to people that muslims are peaceful and to separate from terrorists who destroy the Muslim image.
I love all of your videos and they are really helpful reminders.
Thank you so much
-Your new sister in Islam

Asalaamu Alaykum Brother.
Mash'Allah regarding the videos! AlhamduliAllah that a good brother has found a way to communicate, remind all, and get to those pet peeves that we all think, yet never talk about.
Great way to get the point across while sharing a hee hee:-) Mash' Allah!

Keep up the great work!
JazakAllah Khair!

Assalamu alai kum,
You have chosen a new way to send the message accross. I pray to Allah subhano talal that people take it in the right sense and try to understand your message..
salam,
thanks for nice videos; i always thought you were an arab (from your look maybe); it was very interesting for me when you spoke persian in this clip. i am from Iran, temporarily living in Canada.
Mashallah, Allah SWT has granted you with such an ability to act that way... the good part is you have chosen the right way to use it... keep it up brother Ali
Assalam-o-alaykum!
Sister Huda

Salaam Brother,
Great Job on your success of these wonderful videos. May Allah Give you more success. I had one idea though, can you do your new video on marriage in Islam and the rights of spouses on each other? Also it would be nice if you do a video on women's status in Islam. That would be a great reminder for us all.
Jazakullah khair and Good luck!
mashallah i love it i have to remind my mother this when she is leaving to turkey. lol but i hope you make more and i love this one more cuz i can relate. thank you.
:)
brother make some more i was laughing and learning
Great article! Thanks.
Thanks for interesting article.
Nice Blog!
definitely true! my father who (i'm saying in a nice way) is quite big and tall with a jet black long beard goes on business trips all throughout the states practically every week and whenever he comes back, he has stories to tell us how he was 'randomnly" searched at EVERY airport...and the airport security people are not even smart enough to make it look random lol! i know two girls (family friends) who were stopped at an airport for 7 hours just becasue they wore jilbabs and they missed their fathers funeral!!! it's just so sad what muslims have to go through..STILL!!! i mean,really!
anyways, great video!!
walaikum asalam.
Thank You! Very interesting article. Do you can write anything else about it?
salaam alikum Br Ali
this vid let me know how muslims living in the west suffer .actually
muslims do suffer everywhere you know what I am saying ):
lol bro, it was funny when your like, borrooo baba borrooo baba, lol i love dari, i speak farsi myself.
s/w
Very interesting site. Blog is very good. I am happy that I think the same!
Al-Salamu Alykom brother Ali, good job man ... we need more of these. ALLAH subhanahu wa ta'ala gave you a talent and you can use it to deliver his message to everyone, especially the youth. . Try to involve your audience somehow ... a project that would bring the youth together to change a bad habit to an islamic one maybe? En sha ALLAH I will remember you in my doa'a :)

Brother Ali
Jazakallah Khairun for making funny jokes about he things we do but addressing the important topics as well. Very creative approach. May Allah reward you for your efforts and allow us to act on your reminders.
salam im only 14 and in highschool and between football,homework,and doing things around the house i have absolutely no time to entertain myself. so get this theres this group at my school called MSA( muslim student association) and they showed your film today even though i didnt get to see it all in class i saw it on ur sight, anyways my dads always telling me to read the quran and not listen to music while doing my hw or studying but honestly i have so much stuff on my mind i cant concentrate and also i just dont have the patience. instead of reading the quran which ive been making a little extra effort since its ramadan on days that i dont have too much time i can just go onto ur site and watch these films so my dad cant complain and its entertaining. Probably the best thing though is that i can learn about my religion in a way that doesnt make my head droop so thanks keep on doing what ur doing
assalamu alaikum Brother Ali,
Mashallah, the message in your videos will reach all moslims and non-moslims, inshallah. Keep on like this. By the way they are not only funny!!!!
Jazakallah khair and May Allah (swt) reward you for your efforts.
Wa alaikumus salaam.
Fouad
may Allah SWT reward u brother
Salam oe 3alaikoem brother Ali,
Macha Allah!! Ummah films made me think about Islam and how i can talk to people who are non moslims. And it have let me think about my behaviorism, my live alhamdoelilah, Jazak Allahoe gairen!
PS: My English is not so good, my excuses
that was sooo awesome! you made me laugh out loud sittin' here.......totally sad, but so true. fantastic stuff.
assalam alaikom warahmatu Allah wa Barakatuh

i cant find enough words to express my feelings of pride... Thanks alot on behalf of all muslims who really care about islam... i will try my best to announce ur work to whom i know...
i watched two videos till now but i will watch the rest when i have more time...

Salam Alaikum
Khuda Hafiz :D
Bro seriously .. all ur videoz r amazing n tru yoo seriously
i luv u videoz keep it up mashallah
good work. this serves Islam more than shouting, shaking fists, preaching, or trembling.
you say you are a "convert?"
well, i embraced Islam almost 30 years ago and don't consider myself a "convert." I don't like to feel that I'm rejecting anyone or anything. Sort of an adjustment perhaps.
i especially like what you said about "study Islam, don't study Muslims" in order to learn about Islam.
assalaamu aleykum and
bravo
rashad
very good video, respect!!!
keep up doing good job
salam alikum
i read lol every where. deos everyone understand that's not "lol" at all! especially this vidéo.
Iam against children death, i personnaly think that children are the future of a country so no child no future.
but the thing is that it's high time for adults to wake UP to do their work. i don't mean to kill but to help palestinian people because when see a child who got out of palestine for few days and when it's time to go back home you see those tears that break your heart you understand that you must do something. whatever for the ummah or just because it's unfair what's going on there.
when i sleep at peace in my bed at night, i always wonder if i will have a call saying we are sorry but one of the palestinian children you know has died last night when sionist army entered the house just to kill.
and bilieve me it happens every night in Palestine.
You have posted some very interesting videos of Islamic faith. Now you are eligible to
involve yourself in the faith debate, discussing traditions of all religions, virtues and belief. Visit http://www.thefaithdebate.com/
and broadcast your Islamic videos and audios globally at free of cost. So come and join the
coversation of your religion and give your opinion.
I really can’t buy this person at all. He’s an Iranian who’s not suffered the atrocity those Iranian young boys and girls have suffered and are suffering, having lived his life in America!
That is why he can praise Islam because he has no idea how it feels living under Islamic subjugation as a young person!
If he had had lived his life in Iran, I swear to God or Allah if you prefer as someone who’s been brain-washed by Arabic Culture and not by Real Islam because Arabs are a racist and arrogant nation and their arrogance has been blamed by God even in Koran. That’s why they insist to impose their language and culture to the whole world in the name of Islam whereas according to the real Islamic ideology, Islam is a global religion therefore, you don’t have to become an Arab in order to become a Muslim. You can keep your cultural appearance, name etc. and still be a Muslim but NO… They insist you have to grow a beard right after conversion, choose an “Arabic” name NOT “Islamic Name” because there is no such thing as Islamic Name being Islam a global religion and learn Arabic because you wouldn’t be a Muslim if you don’t pray to God or the Arabic God, Allah, if you don’t speak to him in Arabic! Apparently, God is an Arab and would not understand any language other than Arabic!
This person on the other hand has suffered some frustration in America which is not very hard to see what his frustrations has been! How can I see that?! It’s easy! He’s playing cool, funny, open-minded, even trying to be somewhat sexy! Where has he learned all these things?! To his admission, he’s been hanging out with white Americans and has been drinking, clubbing, chasing girls etc. He obviously has not been received well to his liking and has been disappointed and that’s why he’s become a Islam Lover. He’s fighting back! I think this guy’s so called activities are based on sheer selfish motive; therefore I cannot buy it or hoopla for it!
This video is unavailable on youtube .."The video you have requested is unavailable" though i'm glad i saw it here.
could u please put it back on youtube.
thank you
you really inspire me to not get angry or upset or revengful and to change the way handle these kinds of situations. thx!
Good job!!!!
Wow! I'm scared of flying now. Do they also wave their magic wands around Muslim women? I hope not. What if they ask a veiled woman to remove her veil, or take off her abaya? What do you do if you're not sure if the food on the plane is halal? Where do you pray on the plane? Somehow, I don't fancy flying to a non Muslim land anymore.
lol funny
i got the same shirt that says
my name causes national security concers, what does yours do?
Salam that was awesome...
LOL magic wand hahaha !
Joooooooooooooooooooker!
Thanks for the videos, i love them all.
All I have to say is Verrry Funnnny! But see, there's truth behind every joke :} It's okay though, you got it out in a joking manner, but really hilarious I must say! Plenty of fun and games have I seen lately but this one has really got to my attention. I most certainly want to catch up with anymore articles or blogs you have up, hey, you're one heck of a character! :) enjoy
assalamu alaikum brother ali,
you are absolutely hilarious.i just want to say you are doing a really good job and please copntiune doing may allah reward you for your work.
Assalam o Alaikum,
first of all, Masha Allah. you are doin some great work there man. Masha Allah, may Allah give you strength and an even stronger resolve to get the message of truth to any and all who are brave enough to accept and follow the truth. and I must add that please continue making these videos, the reminder series or Ask Baba Ali or anything else you can come up with because I am personally addicted to watching movies and your website has provided such an amazing and USEFUL alternative to that stuff. and I jus love all those distinctions you've made between culture and islam!
Masha Allah! keep it up, Insha Allah!
