Ajmal       Yes.

Robot      Standby. Choose the first category.

Ajmal       God.

Robot      What do you believe about God?

Ajmal       God in Islam is known as Allah. He is one and the only, he has no partners, in other words, there is nobody else like him. He does not have a father or a mother. He is absolute, he is most powerful, his most kind, most merciful, most loving. He is present everywhere. He is in control of the whole universe. He decides on our future and he, out of his love and mercy, has created everything for us. We must have a good relationship with him and that relationship must be direct without anyone else.

Ajmal       Okay, life after death.

Robot      What do you believe will happen to humans after death?

Ajmal       We will all die, but will be raised again in our flesh and blood with a soul and all our actions, good and bad, to be present in front of God. We'll be asked questions about what we did on this Earth with our time, with our good looks, with our youth, with our money, with our family and everything that we had. If we were good, we would be given heaven as a return, and if we were wicked and bad, we would be sent to hell. Hell is a place where people will be punished and tormented. Whereas heaven is a place where people will live forever in happiness and bliss.

Ajmal       Beginnings.

Robot      How did your religion begin?

Ajmal       It began a long time ago, in fact, with Adam, but Muhammad, specifically, the prophet of God being the final messenger, who was born in Makkah. In the year 610, when he was around 40 years old, he was meditating in a cave near his home, wondering, what should I do with life? Suddenly, God sent his archangel Gabriel, Jibra'il, with message, message of reading, writing and enlightening people, becoming better, being good to God and being good to human being. Having the right to live on this earth freely and without any fear.

Ajmal       Everyday life.

Robot      How does your religion affect everyday life?

Ajmal       It's about being aware of good and bad. It's being aware of God's presence in your life. It's being about, leading a good life, eating halal food, eating organic food is probably most close to halal food, actually. Being good to your fellow human beings, being kind, sharing, caring with your neighbours, praying five times a day, giving charity, fasting in the month of Ramadan, going to Hajj once in your lifetime, but most importantly, being decent with your fellow human beings and being good and loyal to God.

Ajmal       Festival.

Robot      What is the most important festival in your religion?

Ajmal       Most important festival in Islam is Eid ul-Adha and Eid ul-Fitr, those two. Eid ul-Fitr follows Ramadan 30 days of fasting. You have not eaten, you have not drunk whole day for 30 days, and that's an achievement that you celebrate by joining your friends and families eating, celebrating, and that's called Eid-ul-fitr. Eid-ul-adha follows Hajj people who have gone to Hajj once in a lifetime opportunity for them. That achievement is marked by you and I in our own home by celebrating, enjoying and doing the same thing.

Ajmal       Rites of passage.

Robot      How does a Muslim family celebrate the birth of a baby?

Ajmal       As soon as the baby is born, we do call to prayer into the ear of the baby, it's called the adhan. We believe every child is born a Muslim in their natural state, we would like to reconnect them with God. We celebrate also by shaving their hair, weighing their hair against gold or silver, and giving that money to the poor and the needy, the first act of charity for this baby. Some babies, boys especially, would have circumcision done in the earlier days or later. We also do aqiqah, where we slaughter an animal and eat the meat and celebrate with friends and family.

Ajmal       Random.

Robot      Why do Muslim women cover themselves up?

Ajmal       In the Quran, God says men and women must dress up modestly. Part of modesty for a woman is to cover her entire body except her face and her hands. Some don't, but that's their choice. Most do, to keep themselves within the lines and teachings of Islam, of modesty. Shyness and bashfulness is a good trait Islam celebrates.
