Yep - thats definitely something we need to deal with... Jazakallahukhair brother... Keep up the good work...
MarshAllah bravz.. dat was really cool what you said...keep[ it up bro.
its not working...
Its not working???
'LOL'; dats all i do when i see one of your blogs and then i start to think about what you're actually saying i think the tupac lyric goes.."i might not change the world but I will spark the mind that will"!! carry on wih your message its not falling on deaf ears.
Khodahafez
Wafa
subhanAllah, that point is extremely important. Great way of putting it forth. May Allah swt reqard your efforts inshaAllah.
sorry there was a typo i meant "reward your efforts" not "reqard" ..sorry =)
Why don't you post on islamictube.net?
SUPPORT ISLAMICTUBE!
hehe mashallah very good and trrruueee haha
Assalamu Alaikum Brother Ali,
I see this all the time in my community! I Really dislike having to negotiate for anything, I'm totally there with you that I want to support my community, but some of the prices are outrageous!! I think if things were more reasonably priced a lot more people would buy from there. As for wanting things for next to nothing or to pay later, it drives me crazy!! I have seen people outright 'use' other people because they were their brother or sister in Islam. I don't know anywhere that it says that we should take advantage of each other! Helping is one thing..but pure blatant taking everything you can from another Muslim..I can't believe it sometimes!
I think your videos are absolutely great. You have the guts to say what a lot of us wish we would. I hope they will bring some change. Who knows anything is possible! Allah is Big.
Take care, keep up the great work..I will look forward to the next video!
Allah hafiz
salam,

Mashallah, You manage to always come up with the right topics. Allah Yewafegak :)
masyaAllah..great stuff..keep it up
Allah hafiz
ohhh. tru tru. lol.
job well done. mashallah. i like how u put the ayahs at the end in ur videos as well. quite the finishing touch. :)
Al-hamdulilah brother for speaking the truth. This has happened to me countless times when buying overgarments. Daily sisters HAVE to cover and the prices are outrageous!!! A garment for everyday use $50, subhan-ALLAH! I am buying for myself and my two daughters. That adds up to be a lot of money! Thank you for speaking out.
Masha' Allah. Keep up the good work, brother.
Alhamdulillah! First thanks to Allah Almighty for giving me the opportunity once again to watch your video and Jazakallhu Khair for your efforts brother! Your messages are very specific to even diverse Muslim communities and I think we all stand to benefit from them as Muslim individuals as well. Looking forward to your next video!

Jazaakallahu khairan!

As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatu Allah
Jazak Allahu khairan for the reminder! =)
great video! masha allah!
Asalamu alikum ahki,
Alhamdulialh, Jazaka Allahu khiran ya ahki. Wa salam alaikum
Masha'allah...yet another brilliant reminder.
Assalamu alaikum!:)
Thank you bro for new video, and I think this topic is necessary to talk about!
We must become good muslims and good businessmen, too!
Great video as usual brother Ali.
As muslims we should be fair to each other and not try to take advantage. Unfortunately, some muslims forget the teachings of islam while doing business!!!to tell you the truth, this does not happen only in the West(where people use the excuse of:"products are brought from home")but we can see it in muslim countries(where products are made locally) as well . May Allah guide us all.
I pray Allah to reward you for all this work Ali and to give you the strength to continue as long as possible doing such a brillant work.
Salam,
Bro, that was awesome. I can imagine the amount of preparation you did to do such great video. May it's effort and sweet be a heavy load in your hasanat on the day of judgement. But to play with prices is unfair and is considered injustice and Allah SWT will judge you!.
My Comment: I only thought such behaviour was in Egypt. I used not to bargain before until I found out that I always get ripped off by sellers who upscale the prices because they know people will bargain.
I do bargain now here in Egypt to avoid being ripped off by sellers. I don't stop until they say "walahy thats the final price or else I will loose money". After that, it's their swearing and they will get to be judged, so I buy.
I always thought that whoever started this bargain thing is the one to be blamed. I mean just as you said, put a fixed price tag and be straight with Allah when u do that and thats it.
It's really sad to see that bargaining is soo associated to culture to the extent that it's becoming part of being muslim.
If you've read so far, then thanx ;)
I am not Muslim, but I really enjoy your films and learn alot from them.
Great addition of the Quran teaching at the end- definitely keep those up! Can you run them a bit slower so you can take a bit more time to review them.
thanks!
Bismillah-Ar Rahman-Iraheem,
Asslamun Alaykum!!!
YAY...THUMBS UP completely brother Ali!!! THAT was DEFFINITELY a KEY topic in need of some light beign shed onto!!!
Mashallah nice work
Jazakullah Khayran InshAllah

"Masha Allah Bradaaa ! Masha Allah Bradaa ! You know somtinnn ? Can I get your autograph ?? You know what I am sayinng !!??"
JOKE !!!
Keep up the good work bro. I am a good fan of your reminders and viewers on my site love them too. Keep focused on your intention and keep the reminders coming. This episode was good..I like the fact that you talked about your game which I bought without negotiating...actually I couldn't - "double joke!". I like the game and the message.Good Dawah!
Anyway, The quotes in the end are also great.
Just one suggestion:Consider increasing the font and slow down the transitioning so that slow readers like me can get to read the hadith and ayahs at the end.
Your reminders in the end touches on a very important hadith where Rasullulah (peace be upon him) said, more or less, that "Any group who stands from their gathering in which they did not mention Allah arise from something like the corpse of a donkey and it is a total loss upon them."
May Allah subhana wa ta alaa bless you with more creativity to wake us up from our heedless states.
Be yourself and keep reminding us...Just in case we forgot!

I paid 75$ for my first Quran I bought from a pious egyptian man who had a store in Montreal... imagine !!!. And.. Allah forbid I ask for a steak in a Halal butcher !! hahahaa....

so true...keep it up
Assalamu alaikum, brother
Wow, I definitely didn't see this topic coming! Very well done though, and it definitely addresses a very important issue that we may overlook. I like how you cover both sides of the situation, both the ways in which the seller may be wrong, and the ways in which the buyer may be wrong.
I was wondering if you could consider doing a segment on procrastination/laziness, or if you could somehow incorporate it into a video, insha'Allah. It seems like many students in particular experience this problem (may Allah (Swt) guide them out of it). Sometimes, it becomes so serious that it leads to neglecting prayers and whatnot (e.g., staying in bed and not caring about waking up for prayers, etc.). I'm sure you can think up more examples. And oftentimes, fellow peers are also doing the same, that it becomes difficult to get out of it. As it was with the hijab video that you did (which was great by the way, masha'Allah), hearing it from a stranger (and on the internet, which makes it very accessible) may the get the message across effectively, especially with how you always add humor to your videos in such a way that not only entertains, but raises awareness of issues. If you can consider it, that would be great, but if you are unable to do it, that is okay too. :)
Jazak'Allah khair for the wonderful videos, and may Allah (Swt) reward you for your efforts.
Sorry, I made a typo. I meant "may get."
MAsh'Allah....this needs to be addressed--this is soooo IRRITATING!!! Good job. MAy Allah reward you.
Regarding Anisah El Khairi's comment above, I think the topic of how born Muslims treat converts--or incorporating it into a video somehow--would be a wonderful idea. That also reminds me of how converts are sometimes looked down upon just because they are converts, especially if they are of a different cultural background. For instance, parents often place way too much emphasis on marrying within their own tribe (sorry, I couldn't put it in a better way, lol). And when there are interracial couples, people stare and think negatively, which is saddening because interracial marriage is encouraged in Islam and is actually a good deed for the Ummah. Or, come to think of it, perhaps you could do a segment on marriage, which would reach out to both Muslim-born and convert brothers and sisters, with discussions of issues such as pickiness/selectivity of potential brides/grooms, how people over-delay marriage because they "must" get their master's degree, etc. I think it would make for a great video.
Also, I understand that you did a video on culture vs. Islam masha'Allah--maybe you could expand on it to make it directed at the children/youth this time, and how they often end up doing things out of peer pressure (e.g., watching films that have nudity, but claiming that it's okay because they "look away," using profanity, etc... I'm sure there's a whole lot more). I think it's an issue that affects a lot of our youth, who tend to unfortunately undermine the bad effects of it.
Insha'Allah you can consider these ideas insha'Allah. Jazak'Allah khair, keep up the great work!
As-salam 'alaykum
Subhan-Allah, I just love the way you bring out the current situations and problems and present them so well. One can't help but say "SO TRUE!" and it really gets you thinking and eventually fixing errors, hopefully insha-Allah. May Allah showers upon you all His blessings, Ameen.
Keep the good work coming!
Wassalamu alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Sorry, I didn't meant to type "insha'Allah" twice in the last sentence, lol (I just woke up, so if there is anything unclear or confusing about what I wrote, feel free to ask me).
Assalamu alaikum
Very nice, I loved it...keep them coming! :)
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH. we NEED to deal with this!!
Assalaam alaikum Br. Ali,
JazaakAllaah khair for all that you do. I work at an Islamic School in Northern Ca, and we would love to have you as a guest speaker insha'Allaah. Contact me @ striving4jannah@yahoo.com if you are interested.
gd 1 bruv!!!!
mashAllah!
Asaliam'mualikum brother Ali,
This is fatima all the way from London. Its the same here in the UK and i completly agree with you. I think the worst thing for me is feeling guilty for not actually buying at the high prices even though its an islamic product eg. non alcohol goods
Newayz insha-allah with more people thinking like you on this topic n the others, things can change quicker.
keep it up
J.Z.K. fatima
Wow, amazing video, you guys never seem to disapoint your fans as always. Great job and keep up you brillant work :) May Alah bless you for it <3

Assalamualaikum bro Ali, my husband is a contractor so I waited with anticipation for this video blog once I saw the subject. It is a matter that is really close to my heart!
i work for my famiy business, and many muslims that know my family come. i always say that i am so sorry they're, the majority of the time, the worst customers we have to deal with, due to the same issues shown in the video. someone also once told me that the jews and others use their money to build themselves up, but the muslims keep their money in the bank for themselves. Jazak'Allah for another great video.
Mashaállah! sister from holland!
Its becuz we're desi. Desis are totally cheep. Dats just da way we are.
asalamualaykum!
this video was really good mashaAllah, and i especially liked the qur'anic verses and the hadith at the end - driving the message home with the ultimate sources.
and once again, it's a v important topic discussed v well.
awesome video! everything you said was so true. it's so sad that we Muslims behave that way. Keep up the good work!
haha sorry for bothering u br.ali, me and my friend found ur number on whitepages.com and we decided to call and see if its rly u, sorry!

2 thumbs wayyyyy up!!!
Salaams Brother,
I have just seen a video on you tube referring to hijab, as a sister who tries to follow her deen (Inshallah).I felt upset at your attempt to portray this very important message. Too often we have people ridicule sisters and thier 'hijab'. As a sister who has worked in the media trying to portray the 'right' image and give out the same message as yourself. I have learnt their are better ways to do it then criticising or ridiculing the 'hijabi'. A sister watching that video could feel leaving disheartened and even bitter.lets not forget the nature of a woman, and the words of our beloved, to soften the hearts we bring to the deen. It would be a shame if someone left unwilling to watch a ummah -film again, as they are a credit to our community. m.a,May you continue to give a peaceful message with sincerity and wisdom ameen.
Mashallah..
this is soooo true. I work at a variety store, and el7amdolillah i wear the hijab, so people easily recognize that i'm muslim, which also makes them think that for some reason, they now own the store and can do whatever they want inside. Like let their kids run loose and be short 2 buck, EVERYTIME. It kinds gets on my nerves sometimes..
Just thought i'd throw that out there..:)
I love your videos. Mashalla. Keep them coming..:)
Salaam.
The video is excellent mashaAllah with a clear message. We see this everyday and since my father is in a business, he experiences this way too much. However, if you look back at your first few videos, the only difference obvious is that they were a little bit more funnier. Nevertheless, its still a great video mashaAllah! Keep it up.
wsalaam
Asalaam ali com brother. Again - you hit the nail on the head. Thank you. I have worked for brothers in Islam and sad to say - I will probably not again, unless things change. Inshallah your words will hit home to some of our brothers and sisters that have muslim people working for them and treat them with respect and like any other business.
masha allah ali. we the people in sd are very proud. hahah unlike all of these people here, we got to see this as a WORLD PREMIRE in la. and it was good, and also. EVERYONE loved your speech. hahaha we were cracking up to it the whole way home. jazakum allahu khairan for everything that you do.
Salam Alikom
you are doing a great job. I live in Islamic country (it's suppose to be a Islamic country)so we don't have this kind of problems , but i m really enjoyed by watching this video.
keep it up
AGREE!!!! Nice video!
HALAL meat is sooo expensive!!! I hate it why cant it just be as cheap as regular meat!!
Salaam alikum brother,
This my first comment, but mashallah i've watched all of your videos and they were all FANTASIC!! subhanallah all of your videos really do deal with the problems that all muslims have to deal with today in a non-muslim or a mulim country.
Mashallah brother, and keep the good work, May Allah bless you in every thing you do.
salaam alikum
I love u in ALLAH my brother

masyAllah. good job, bro!
Ok th esite i went to to try to get mecca to medina wanted 30 dollars and shipping of around 8 dollars i cannot afford this!!! and i was getting it so i can start to play it with my daughter and i am trying to stockpile such games so she can learn about islam in a fun way!!! like the allahu akbar game we play i ask her something like " what do we say when we receive a good meal or a toy we wanted?" and shell say allahu akbar!!! she even says it when she talks to her tiggy!! shes 2 but is actually getting the reality of things as well!! shes so smart she can work my computer(seriously)alhumduallah for giveing me such a daughter!! i ish people from both sides of the track would get real on the prices if its 25 dollars leave it at 25 dollars firm and only charge the actual shipping (or non if its only a few bucks) yes i have seen your price and itis very good and what it costs to make such a game its only a few dollars more that you sell it at which is most generous!! point is if i could afford either price i would have it and put it up where my daughter wouldnt get ahold of it when not in use!! inshallah i will one day have the money to get it and to tell the truth its cheaper than any other islamic game i have seen 9others want 50 or 100 for islamic games that are mostly arabic or too into the islamic terms to be played by beginers and children!! i dont like haveing to refer to a dictionary every time i draw a card its not as fun!!)
i liked your video and i feel the pain of people like hte man you described that did all the work for a measly 100 dollars!!! i have done work and only got a few dollars for it when it was actually 75 dollars worth of work they paid one payment and then ran with the clothing they "loved" then pulled the its rhamadan card!!
helema
please forgive the errors i am better i swear but its 11 oclock and i just got done editing and posting articles on the dapor movement on myspace heres the link if you are interested http://www.myspace.com/thedapormovement
its completely free to look at and i promiss we wont bite!! its interfaith and the cofounders are muslim (me) and buddhist (my best friend kim) mabey you can do a video on interfaith discussions and tolerance of others no matter the color culture creed or faith!!! :)
Great point! What you said was so true - Ma'shallah keep up the good work! I see this all the time and I am a new muslim- That video was great and it gives good insight on what goes on in our community-we need to stop this- I was there when you premiered it at Hawthorne and it was great! Can't wait until your next video Inshallah!
Assalamu Alaykum,

Oh and dont get me started on the cheap quality overgarments they sell for prices you would not believe I tought women was suppose to want to cover they really make it hard....

May Allah Bless you and your family (ameen).
I really feel that we as muslims have unfortunately reduced our "deen" to mere rituals. There were many generations b/f us who were unfair in their business dealings and Allah destroyed them!!!
The stories that are narrated in the Quran to us are not told for entertainment, they are rich in lessons, but Allah has said that only those who take the time to ponder will benefit from His Book.
Thank you for the reminders.
Jazakallah Khair,
U'r Sister in Islam
Assalamu-alaikum. Good relevant topic. Just like any thing else, we do not deal justly to any thing close to us. From our family to our institutions.
You are best if you are best with your family. You should teat your brother the way you like to be treated. This is all part of lost Islamic creed. You can tell they way we park at the mosque vs. supper market. My kid plays a game called settelrs of ketan and they must have spent in access of $150, on main game and its expansion pack.
Some of us never bargain. I will buy the game for $25.00.
Thank-you and Allaha increase your position in Jannah.
Your brotger in islam
Khalid Khan.
as salaamu alaykum,
love the new episode. :)
There's kind of a hissing sound throughout the video though.
You should do an episode on muslims shouting and arguing about rules of fiqh in the Masjid. Or people making things haram when they're not.
keep up the good work, brother,
as salaamu alaykum,
o
assalamualaikum
i always watch your videos the day they come out. mashallah, they are very good and funny, too. i have an idea for a new vlog - racism within the muslim community. it's not that widespread, but it is present... like, some people think that other muslims of other races are not as good as they are or just not as good for them to associate with.
Very good mashallah!
Alhumdulilah, that was nice.
awsome video! may allah (swt) reward you for all your efforts :)
jazakallah!!
as salaamu 'alaikum!
i haven't watched it yet. i hope its on the itunes podcasts.
ma sha Allaah.
i love all of y'all work.
keep droppin it.
muslims really need this!
jazak Allaahu Khairan
Ali great work. I would like to recommend a topic, Groups. How many people follow different groups and because of this our ummah continues to divide. I think you can add a funny twist to this topic, one that will leave your audience reflecting on their current situation. Turning away from everything that causes this division. Hadith: The Jews and Christians divided into 71 and 72 groups and my ummah will divide into 73, all to hell except for those on the path of my companions and I.
mashaallah wicked video.
Good Reminder
I think half of us probably didnt even think about that issue.
Best video yet.
Keep up the good work Ali.
1 ? though
How is this message gonna reach adults and buisnessmen who need to be reminded?
i feel ya bro!
Jazakallahkyran bro, and another reminder is that offering 2 prices is very close to interest. And we know in Islam there are things that are clearly haraam or halal and then there are gray areas, and the one who takes part in the unclear gray areas is like a shepherd that allows his cattle to graze in a pasture next to someone else's pasture, you will eventually fall into the haraam, as the cattle will eventually eat from the other pasture, and this is authentic.
also for those who are thirsty for knowledge
http://www.al-ibaanah.com/articles.php?ArtID=59
http://www.al-ibaanah.com/articles.php?ArtID=61
these are articles about haraam business transactions
I think mahdi has a good point about making a video about concerning the splitting of the Ummah, but please obtain knowledge from the scholars prior to doing it:
Abud-Dardaa (radyAllaahu ‘anhu) reported: “I heard the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) say: ‘Whoever treads a path due to which he seeks knowledge, Allaah will make him tread one of the paths towards Paradise. And the angels lower their wings out of contentment for the seeker of knowledge. And verily all those in the heavens and in the earth, even the fish in the depths of the sea ask forgiveness for the scholar. And verily, the virtue of the scholar over the worshipper is like the virtue of the moon on the night of Al-Badr over all of the stars. Indeed, the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets, for the prophets do not leave behind a dinar or a dirham for inheritance, but rather, they leave behind knowledge. So whoever takes hold of it, has acquired a large share (i.e. of inheritance).
Reported by Abu Dawood, At-Tirmidhee and Ibn Hibbaan, and this is the wording found in his collection, in abridged form. Al-Bukhaaree mentioned in his Saheeh Collection in his Book of Knowledge, Chapter: Knowledge precedes Speech and Action, the part from it: “The scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets.”
The Prophet said (which means), "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful. And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allaah will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection." [Al-Bukhari Volume 7, Book 69, Number 494v].
Alhamdulilla, when admonished the brother responded by removing the music from his video. Alhamdulilla. Maybe if someone brought him authentic proof about growing the beard,he would do this as well. So dont criticize someone for doing haraam when they may not even know it, and you have not shown him proof that it is haraam. The way of the Salaf as Salah ( the righteous predecessors or the early Muslims such as the sahaba , the tabyeen, etc )was that if they stated something was or was not a part of the sunnah, they always brought daleel (proof)
Jazakallah-Kyran again Ali
May Allah guide us all
Dear brother,I want to appreciate you for recording an important issue like that.I think this is a universal problem. I'm living in a Muslim country(99% of the population muslim )But even though ı can't see a lot of justice in prices.If ı were live in a non-muslim country maybe ı can accept this situation more easily but in this case ıt comes me very nonsense...I'm praying for all of us.May Allah be with you always thanks again....
AsalaamWalaikum. I pretty much aagree with on everything, present and pas videos, EXCEPT one small thing.
The Halal meat being more expensive. Brother, there is a simple explanation for halal meat being more expensive. That is demand..if demand for a product is high, manufatureres find competetive ways to mass process items and thereby reducing overall cost of the product.
Example: Costco, I can buy akmost anything a whole lot cheaper than safeway, kroegers, food lion or even walmart. Why, because I buy in bulk, since costco processes and deals with whole sale, large orders , they can give a very low price.
However, Halal meat is a special commodity, there isnt as much demand for it as compared to non-zabiha meat. So since non zabiha meat is mass processed, supermarkets get whole sale price for it, but muslim grocery stores have to pay higher prices. I hope, I have clarified my point to you. And just FYI, I dont own or work at a muslim grocery store.
Other than that, I totally agree with Islamic books being way to expensive, and lecture audio cds totally ripping us off. Come on 25 dollars for a 1 hour lecture...JOKE!!
Video not working.....
Your videos are so funny because it's the truth, all the things you say are real, and i like the way your talk about it! I'm hurry to see new videos!
farida from france.

You've done a brilliant job once again!..everything you say is SO soo true.
Keep up the good work brother!
jazakallahkharann beautiful brother, beautiful.
mashAllah brother...May Allah reward u 4r all your hard work.
salamalakum brothers in islam,
I must say, I am impressed by the subject.... so true ... it is an area we muslim need to work on. U know sometimes when u feel like buying islamic litrature (mind my spelling) or islam clothing it feels as if you have to dig deep for money.... definetly a big concern for the muslim.
I hope this message reaches u brothers in good health and iman
again like to say, if i said anything right then that is from Allah and anything wrong i said then that is from myself
w'alakum salam,
sister in islam (uk)
subhanAllah it was greatT!
i love the touch of adding verses from the Quran at the end of the video.
=D
Asalamualaikum warahmatAllahi wabarakatuhu
May Allah(swt)reward your efforts immensely and keep your intentions pure, bi'ithnillah.
Brother, I think this was a very appropriate and important topic you touched upon and I appreciated it very much. Although, if I may critique it a bit, it was not as good as your previous videos and I'm saying that as a viewer of all your videos. What I mean is, it lacked humour. What made your videos unique and interesting, was your ability to instill genuine, halal humour which left the viewer with a laugh as well as a message.
The message was there alright but your attempt at humour didn't quite make it in this video. Nonetheless, it was a good video, but not your best.
Please forgive me for anything that I said which may have caused any pain. I am just trying to give some naseeha.
Keep up the good work brother.
W'salam
Assalamu Alaykum
MashaAllah and Jazakhallahu Khairan for your good work
Nice video! Everything u said is ture, bro Ali and i hope ur message makes a difference inshallah. keep up the good work, jazakallahukhair...I'm always praying for u and all our other Muslim heros.=)
Salam Ale Cum

Allah hafiz
Assalamu Alaykum,
massallah, Keep up the good work? I'm glad Muslim are using the faculties Allah has proved rather then complaining about things they don’t have.
One been obvious, which brother Ali is using HIS IMAGAINTION to do dawah, may Allah reward you for your effort. Muslim we need to do more in dawah work, starting with not the non-Muslim but Muslim brothers and sisters first??
Wassalaam
Alhamdulillah,I watched all your vids (season 1 and 2) and it's a great way of da'wah.There are not much different between american muslim community and our malaysian muslim community based in your vids,maybe it's getting worst if something like what you're doing now isnt been iniated by any Muslim anywhere in the world today..on my way on doing something worthwhile too..may Allah bless us both and the rest of the ummah
you have anice blog
friendly

This is what has peed me off in my community...everywhere you go..thes so called brothers just looking out for themselves or thier money...always looking for something for nothing..Why can't muslims be straight forward....as prophet said to find out the character of a person...do businnes with him or travel with him.
The advice I would give is don't join them...try to set yourself as a good example....you WILL make a difference...you WILL see the change in people...(but very gradually....remember old habits...dying and all that)
Assalaam O Alaikum
Bro, I've watched all videos in one go,
mashaAllah excellent effort and I love this.
keep it up.
JazakAllah.

jazakalaho khayrane
waiting for the next episode!!
may allahe give you tawfi9
Salam aleïkom
I just wanna say that I learn (and laugh) a lot watching your video.
MashAllah You really done a good stuff.
Welcome to America -- this is called "capitalism." You pay what the market will bear. The Muslim community is not exempt from this -- sellers will charge what the market will bear.
Also, you could have gotten the point of this video across in 30 seconds. Much too long.
How are you going to "change the negative stereotypes of Muslims" if your films are directed at Muslims? Isn't this like preaching to the converted? Why not make films directed at non-Muslims, to educate them about Islam?
So true...
Assalamu Alaikum
What you said brother is so true,and if i may share this story with you:
i'm a cab driver in Colorado,one time i got a call to pick up a costumer from a bar,i go for the pick up and here comes a "muslim brother",he asked me to take him home so i did,but guess what all i got is thanks and sorry i have no money..........JOKE
I myself am Hindu, but I LOVE your videos. They show what Muslims face in a humorous way. Good job.
Peace
You're a very naive and idealistic young man.

Mashallah ... That is sooo true, i have also seen this to be a major problem when trading as a muslim business man.
I'm muslim, you muslim?
Yes??? Then I MUST be entitled to a discount. That's the attitude that i find most amusing.
Keep up the excellent work.
Asslam-o-lakum.
MashAllah,

barakAllahoufik
youre videos are really interessant i think that it can help some young muslims who are confused about their religion.
El HamdouliLlah
salam
Jazaak Allah Khair , Keep it up bro
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!
I simply want to say that where I live, in Canada, the Halal meat sold in a Halal grocery store is actually less expensive than the non-Muslim local grocery store's meat. I think it is great! Alhumdolillah!
Keep up the great videos. Being a convert Muslim myself, you have reached some of my thoughts on several ways.
Jazaka Allah Khair
i thought negotiation for the goods only happen here in gulf states (KSA, UAE. we negotiate for the price of everything.. from the price of meat to the price of laptop
Good work bro. i can idenyify with it since i hv faed thios bargaining too in my business, esp 4m muslims
Salam Aleikum
May Allah make you keep it upp! And accept it from you. Amin
May Allah help us really practice these reminders. Amin
Asalamu alaikum brother.
jzkAllah khair for you reminder .Even though I don't ask much disscount but am gonna stop asking for once or twice(LOL) .
I've actually watched all of your reminder videos and they're really great not just about the humour but the message and the reminder that's with it .
May Allah help you and us with the dawah and guide us all.
Ameen.
