Kaiji Wada | The Japanese Guy who speaks Malay

and now that I live in Japan, I will show you the beautiful landscapes of Japan around here. Also, I'm going to introduce you to some of my Japanese Muslim friends who might really surprise you, so come on, how are you guys? Are you doing very well today? coming to a place called yuyugi uehara, do you know where it is? It is a place in Tokyo where you can find a very beautiful mosque called tokyo jamie tokyo jamie moss is located just a five minute walk from yoyogi uhara station from the west exit so this is the place you have to visit as this is the largest mosque in Japan where you can find so many Muslim friends and interact with them here in Tokyo Chiami.

Let's go to delicious Tokyo and meet my friends here. Hello, hello everyone, so this is one. from my friends hello, his name is

kaiji

and he is a

japanese

muslim, he is very young, so where are you taking me after this? First of all we're going to Tokyo, Jamie, here and then we're going to praise, so first of all, we're going to go upstairs, yeah, so let's go. Come on, come on, come on, the first time I knew Islam was in Brunei, it was 2015 to study. I was supposed to go to America for some reason, in the end I didn't go and chose Brunei.

He had no knowledge or information about Islam. I just saw it in the media at that time in 2015, so it's a bad situation for Muslims or in a Japanese image about Islam, right, yeah, when it comes to, you know the image they have a little bit, but it's not an image that you know how to judge when we talk to a Muslim or my friend is usual it is normal it is almost totally certain of the new talk to Japanese or brunei and the isis of strangeness or how you really know the life of Muslims or how the Islam I can fear what then everyone You can see how beautiful Tokyo Jamie is, as you can see on my back, it is Ottoman Turkish style and you know, although it is Turkish style, but you are not in Turkey, you are in Japan, it is Tokyo Jamie, one of the most popular tourist places.

You have to visit it when you come to Tokyo. You come here often? Yes, every weekend, so jump. Wow, there are many Muslims who come here, especially in Jammat. Yeah, and then you know people can't come in and then they play outside. Well, wow, this place is open to everyone and then the Japanese come to this place to see. You know that the inside of the building is very beautiful. Then they come here again. I need to study Islam. What is it really? You know, some teachers. Wow, let's go. come in, so let's go in and now this arkham is written in Arabic, Japan for me, it's difficult, you know, reading our current vacation for the first time, so we just see the Japanese translation and understand that sometimes I have one in my house , Yeah.

I have something, not only is there a translation, there is also a more detailed explanation. Wow, so if we really don't have something more angry, we just refer to this book and then study more. After returning from Brunei, I started studying about Islam. getting some knowledge every day or day by day, then an ism is really peaceful sir, and then you know that when I face difficulties, I only seek success for Allah, then we face something painful, we only trust in Allah, this is just a test from Allah, we can. get over it, we can, you know, get over it, just, you know, we have some, you know, happy moment, let's just be modest, that's with my, you know, emotional control and then my personality too, it could be a good result in the future, Allah , I.

I've been thinking about converting for a long time, maybe almost a year, but I don't know exactly when to convert. I was just thinking, thinking, thinking overnight, I think so, then suddenly the opportunity came. My boss has an appointment at Masjid, I mean different appointment, so yes. he just casually says he says oh do you want to join me yeah okay I just vote I said that so yeah it must be the same thing he says I've already kept in touch with him so yeah oh this is the time because you know that suddenly the opportunity to leave came. to masjid you know I was, you know I'm not really ready, but yeah, the time has come and then I was already, you know, studying about Islam and then thinking about thinking about comrade, right?

You know the area, I better think about my future. myself in future so oh this is the time then i joined the meeting and after that yes i had shahada in mosque this is aha restaurant its called sekai cafe. You have to come here if you go to Asakusa, so let's go in, let's try it. their food is like muslims can pray here and then not just for the guests you just know everyone can use it. Wow, it's very nice, Muslim friendly and everyone friendly, yes, yes, yes, oh, it's very nice, good service, thank you very much for the delicious dish. welcome, yes, which is very nice and very interesting, yes, I would like to ask you what is the difference between your lifestyle after becoming a Muslim, yes, can you share with me a little bit about this, about many things, yes, I can take the time for that? during work time, as you know, when I work, I face that it's nonsense, I saw any muggle, right, yes, yes, I can take it three times, salad break, oh, after I became a Muslim, you know that keeping my heart, my emotions, my mind is easy to control. sometimes yes, before I became a Muslim, you often know the emotional, but you know that now it is very comfortable to do something that you know I don't like, it's just calm down and think very well and then what is good and what is bad according to the another Korean my life became simpler and easier for me I think my parents have some uncomfortable feelings about my religion you know my parents don't like religious things so yeah, it was very difficult for me but you know, they They accept my religion and my decision so that they do not support my religion, I think I don't know for now, but they decided to accept my decision because, since I am their son, the next step is to inform them about Islam, what Islam is, what Islam teaches.

Islam. What is religion itself? It's quite difficult, you know, you may know Japanese, it's not the religious culture, in general, in general, so it takes time to show them what Islam is really like, so it's my task or mission to let them know about Islam. let them understand what islam is i want to introduce you to my friend from indonesia and
