Unfortunately the people who should watch this are the least likely to do so.

Allah SWT does not look at your skin, race nor background. He looks at your heart. So have taqwa. Fear in GOD, Allah..We are all brothers

Educating and breaking stereotypes about Islam from different backgrounds and perspectives. Loved this.

[vanessaclairerollo]

I’m Christian but I respect and love the faith of Muslims too. It’s not about religion it’s always about our personal faith and relationship with God.

All I want to say is if I make mistakes, blame me not my religion.

[daisyvanschip]

I cried watching this video and I am not even Muslim. Respect for y'all :))

[dragonfly]

This is refreshing to watch. With all the false information going around. And I'm non-muslim

Tom and his wife are such a beautiful couple!

Not all Middle Easterns are Muslim and not all Muslims are Middle Eastern. Only 20% of Muslims are Middle Eastern.




Islam is a religion not a race.🌏❤🤲☪️

arranged marriage is not a forced marriage they are not related whatsoever. The man/woman will always have a say and it also depends on how much you trust your parents to pick a man/woman for you but in the end the decision is yours

It's ironic how a video about explaining Islam is causing even more misinterpretation in the comments. Islamophobia is too real sadly.

EDIT: Read the comments, people. This is the world we live in. A bunch of lowlives with flawed logic and unjustified hate.

I thought I was already open but I must acknowledge I was biased. I believed Shariah law was to completely restrict people of there rights and was completely extreme and radical. I am proud to say my opinion has changed. I am was Christian and now identify as agnostic atheist but this video truly changed me and made me more respectful of people who are different than me. Edit grammar and I added a little more info

[abigase]

This shows that more and more people confuse culture with religion.

[yonstash]

" I love what it does for me as a person" im crying watching this on suhoor

[noahbuilds]

I love this!! Please do more faiths!!!

[naginurlan]

'You meet people and leave them better than you found them ' bravo👏👏👏

[iamremmie]

As a Muslim revert, I am so happy you guys made this video. It will open the eyes of people who think everything the media says is true, inshallah.

[vmuvoit]

I love this video so much. Nowadays there is a lot of false information going around. I've noticed that as a society we are always stereotyping groups of people, and confusing RELIGION and CULTURE. Muslims are often thought of negatively due to cultural practices that are confused to be part of Islam. Muslims even greet each other by saying "peace be upon you" in Arabic, does that not show the peace behind the religion? Thank you SoulPancake for this video!

So many false misconceptions.!! Terrorism has no religion. How can any religion, made to make us humans..teach terrorism
