Hey Takashiiさん。 I have sent a couple of emails. I am a former 弟子 of Kitano Takeshi and a とび. Definitely one-of-a-kind. よろしくお願いします。 Nox
I want to deal in importation of goods from Japan to Ghana, Africa , please how do I go about it
Ask reddit.

THAT HALF BLK DUDE...2ND INTERVIEWED....PEOPLE OF OTHER RCES WOULD HAVE SAID OBVIOUSLY...THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A BLK DUDE WHO ROBBED...YOU BLK SO THEY GONNA ASK YOU QUESTION....YO...
BLAME THAT BLK DUDE FOR ROBBING...DONT BLAME THE COPS...
Curly hair is absolutely beautiful the coils are everything. So happy she learned how stunning her Curly hair really is.
It’s not. It’s hRd to manage. And doesn’t look good.
@@buckethead133 what do u mean it doesn't look good?
@@feature1st704 Chill, it's an agent
Was coming to say this exact thing.
@@feature1st704 because I have curly hair and it’s hard to manage.
I'm really surprised at how earnest you are at interviewing people of diverse backgrounds in Japan. I wish I saw more discussions like these when I lived in Japan.
We all would like to believe that more and more of the general Japanese populous cares to become tolerant and as open-minded as Takashi-san and beyond
Yes, interviewing beautiful women must be very exhausting. 😋
@@T1Oracle lmaoo, the people he comes across are very beautiful indeed
Yah I agree. He's doing a great job!
Yeah he enjoys doing it..cause that pay check he gets is pretty damn good ☺️
It’s nice to see social media improving someone’s self image for once.
Social media finally doing what it was designed for
@@spadesofpaintstudios1719 not really, it's supposed to connect people, nothing more. The rest is just flavor depending on the platform. If you start with the wrong expectations, don't be surprised if it destroys you even more than it already does.
@@w花b yeah that’s true but it was also meant to help people relate with one another which included improving the self image of people but i understand your point
@@spadesofpaintstudios1719 Social media is just surveillance (edit: and information control), get it through your head. Nothing good comes from it.
Maybe. But these are all super good looking people. If they were average or ugly it probably would have been the opposite effect from social media.
My Mom is Black and my Father is Japanese. It always surprises people when I tell them this, because it's usually the opposite. Let's just say, my childhood was very interesting growing up, and seeing people's reactions to my heritage.
It's nice to hear this is definitely always the other way.
It's not unusual online where I've seen quite a number of Japanese dad, the difference being they are mostly with African, then Caribbean women.
One of the first Asian men with Black women I saw online was a Chinese multimillionaire marrying a West African lady in China. They threw massive party with the whole street involved, looked like a festival.
I've also seen many on social media, even when it comes to South Koreans, and they are supposedly meant to be more insular. And we haven't even touched on the amount of Chinese men marrying the women in Africa.
I know one more with a Somali mother he is a trucker in the US.😂😂 he looks just like any other Japanese with a slightly darker skin.
I wonder why it's like that? Black women dating asian men is a pretty rare in general, just off what I've seen in my life.
@@lukecarroll9823 Size related stuff maybe?
I like how the last woman wants to be a role model for biracial children. I'm biracial and grew up in Austria and there's almost no biracial people here, but whenever I see another biracial girl out in the streets, just living their best life, it makes me feel less alone😊
Bless you
a great point the number of bi racial Japanese who are mix with black is tiny
@@di9251 obviously if someone is begging for attention it's you... You are not funny, just pathetic!
If you aren't white you ain't right race mixing is bad for a native population
@@thesecondsilvereich7828 go touch some grass you clown🤡
I'm African-American, my wife is Japanese and we have two children. I was always interested in the culture and spoke some Japanese before we met. Her parents didn't object to our marriage because I really liked Japanese culture. When we had kids however, I didn't want to force them to go to a Japanese tutor or weekend school but she insisted! I guess she realized knowing one's culture can ground a person. Both are polite, respectful and patient. They don't get frustrated like I did when they don't understand something they just commit themselves to practicing until they get it right. If you didn't understand algebra, for example, you don't feel bad or give up, you just get more practice. Same for any other discipline. If you're Japanese that probably sounds normal to you but in the US we handicap children with the idea that some people are "gifted". Some of us are just good at certain things. Now I'm watching my kids become better at things through the kind of sheer patience learned from Japanese culture.
And as far as their Black heritage is concerned, I make sure to talk to them about African-American accomplishments in science, politics and literature! I don't particularly like to drive but whenever I am forced to use the car (I'd much rather be reading a book on the subway), I'll play jazz or R&B. Sometimes hip hop. And when there are topics in the news about discrimination or civil rights, we discuss them and I try to give those topics historical context. I always think it's a shame when there are mixed children who don't know about one side of their heritage. We have a responsibility to give them both.
It's wonderful that your wife made your children learn about their Japanese culture and language. I'm mixed ethnicities
aces, and my parents did not allow that. This left me very lonely and cut off from my non-english speaking family. I've had to learn Spanish as a teen and adult, and it is much more difficult than it would have been if I'd learned both languages from birth. I've been teaching my 9yr old niece daily since she was a baby, so that she'll never have to go through what my siblings and I went through. I sincerely hope your children are able and willing to continue learning about both sides of their family.
Kudos to you and your wife. Just raising grounded, polite, well-rounded kids is an achievement in itself.
Wow. Insightful post thanks for taking the time to share with us
Good job!
@@FreedomofSpeech865 Amen 🙏 👏 😊
these videos are essential for humanity because they showcase the social situations without bias or strings attached which as the channel says " what the media fails to portray" which is why you're amazing takashii
Truly agree.
Totally agree 👍
@@cre8myreality216 yes
@@prince_dayo yup
These videos are excellent warnings against race mixing.
I love that Raimu wants to encourage black-Japanese girls. I feel like people like Naomi Osaka and Ariana Miyamoto achieving great things has done so much for half-black Japanese visibility. There are hella foreign born blasian celebrities in the west but it’s so common that people barely ping it. It’s a whole different ballgame when these highly visible people who aren’t standard looking Japanese to the world or even their home are stepping into that light representing Japan specifically
Raimu reminds me of the singer Sade who also happens to be of Nigerian descent🙂
Lol black & Japanese.
"I love that Raimu wants to encourage black-Japanese girls." Encourage to what? She is 25 years old and good looking and she became famous because of that good looks... She should lead young girls to do what exactly?
I've never understood why people give importance to what someone has to say just because they know him from the TV screen... No matter how many other young girls imitate her, nothing will change the fact that the main reason for her beauty is her unique combination of genes.
In beauty contests they require participants to say something inspiring... The only thing I personally like about her plans is that she came up with something original and realistical enough to be actualy done.
Typically, the participants talk about how they would like to fight for the World peace.
So plus for her that she is not only pretty but also have some brain.
@@Bialy_1 Their aren't even that many half black & Japanese people in the entire world in general. Not to talk about just girls that fall into that category. I feel it's a bit silly to try to make a platform for something that doesn't apply for most people.
Yeah or people like rui hachimura
Hi Takashii! I am half black and half Japanese and I lived in Tokyo when I was younger and again as an adult but I primarily grew up in California. I saw that you are looking to interview mixed people who grew up outside of Japan and I think I would be a good candidate! I just left Japan a few weeks ago but I plan to be back at the end of 2022 or spring 2023. Let me know if you are interested in connecting!
No one cares lol ...
@@SNKR_HEAD83 its ok, we still love you, and you will succeed one day.
dl23 … she got 20 likes, you none … hmm, we care. Sayonara
Hi, I'm keen to connect for business lol. This may sound weird but I want to export something to Japan. I need connection in Japan for translation purposes. I can tell you about the product if you want to know or something. Cheers
@@SNKR_HEAD83 you are obviously! And also craving for attention...
Takashii loving your videos! Thank you for what you do ✨✨✨
Takashii is cool. He's done what's it like being Half Black and Half Japanese in Japan, what's it like being Half White and Half Japanese in Japan, what's it like being Black in Japan, now he needs to do a what's it like being Half White and half Black in Japan video (a 'Hafu' of non Japanese decent, but of mixed White European and Black African descent). That's me, and I want to go to Japan one day. Arigatou, Takashii-San.
@@enterthebruce9144
Thank you for the video! My mother is half-Japanese, half-Filipina and I wish she had taught me the language (I was born in the Philippines but grew up in California and now live in Munich, Germany). Even though I have not had that close bond to the Japanese culture as I have with my Filipina and American cultures, I still cannot ignore that it is within me. I love Japan and have been there a few times to visit my grandmother’s (mom’s mom who is Japanese) family in Kyoto. Looking forward to visiting again in May. Take care!
These interviews are such a blessing! Keep up the good work. Well done.💫
I'm rooting for Raimu to get a chance to start her acting career in America. I enjoyed listening to everyone's experience being biracial and living in Japan.
She definitely has the looks for it
Actors are the lowest form of life.
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 how?
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 you deh angry nah. Y nah
@@Iromiish narcissism. also they all touch kids.
First girl is such a good role-model. I'm glad she found the goodness of curly hair because it's a reflection of both her black side and japanese side :-D So beautiful!
she is stunning indeed, in every aspect
what's sad is she wanted to straighten her hair so she could be like other girls. The pressures to fit into the social norms to be accepted in everyday society
@@videogamesruinedmylife3769 Most people do that... It's called a trend.
@@Ptitnain2 no its called assimilation for some and european beauty standards in america. it can be a trend for some and survival for others
she looks like a barbie doll... so perfectly feminine and delicate and pretty
It's so funny to see them introducing themselves in broken English, it made me go "Wow, they really are Japanese!" 😂
Woah so crazy that people who's first language isn't english don't speak in perfect english. It's almost like they grew up in the country whos language they speak
@@elo2261 Yeah, that's kind of my point...
Who is her dad Chinese
@@elo2261 whose* first language.
Whose and Who's are different.
😂😂 bro I was like woah! But the second girl is so beautiful 🌹
Raimu's introduction at the end was awesome! She definitely has it rehearsed, probably for because people always ask about her, or due to her modeling job. I hope she reaches her goal of being an actres in the US!
Gotta get fluent in English
Hi Takashii! I absolutely love this!!! I’m a 53 year old half black half Japanese woman. I was born and raised in Detroit MI and lived in Japan for a very short time after high school before returning to the states. My siblings and I discuss from time to time how happy we are to see so many mixed race/culture people now because at least where we grew up back then, it wasn’t so much. Especially black and Japanese. I wish my mom would have taught us Japanese language, but it’s never to late to learn ❤️😊!!! ( side note: this video randomly came up in my RUclips feed and I’m glad it did. I follow you now and look forward to checking out your past videos and upcoming videos. Keep up the good work 👍🏼😃!!)
Haifu!
Why would you be happy about diversity lol
Why does having a Japanese parent make you half Japanese?
@@guywholikesbreathing1263 same reason why you like breathing i guess
@@ko-Daegu Your comment makes no sense
I live in Honolulu and bought a new car earlier this year. The salesman didn’t look Japanese but had a Japanese first name, which I asked him about. He turned out to be half Japanese and half African American and had lived in Japan as a kid. His family had moved to Hawaii because of feeling out of place in Japan. In Hawaii his looks are nothing out of the ordinary at all.
You should visit the states or mainland 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@franchisefred4066 I have, many times.
The pacific islands is basically japan. Im from there, i know our japanese family.
Hawai'i!!
Aloha from Hawaii Kai area! 🤙
Everyone you interviewed was so incredibly gorgeous??? And seemed like such sweet people. Wishing them the best!
Loved the interview! The women were beautiful. The blend of ethnicity produced wonderful people!
He only interviews good looking people.
It is so important to teach your kids both sides culture. My husband is Filipino; our kids look more Asian than black (they have curly hair). Both Tagalog and English are used in our home. Plus some ASL
1. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
2. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
2. God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.
4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge.
5. Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven.
6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise.
16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt.
35. It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
58. This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder.
59. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
60. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
61. And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.”
62. This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise.
63. But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt.
64. Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
65. O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason?
66. Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know.
67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists.
68. The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers.
69. A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it.
70. O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness?
71. O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth?
72. Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.”
73. And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing.
74. He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace.
75. Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it.
76. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety-God loves the pious.
77. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment.
78. And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly.
79. No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.”
80. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted?
81. God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.”
82. Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful.
83. Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned?
84. Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.”
85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.
86. How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people.
87. Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind.
88. Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved.
89. Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful.
90. As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost.
91. As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors.
111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.”
Read The Quran.
“I am to you a clear warner.”
“That you shall worship none but God. I fear for you the agony of a painful Day.”

1. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
2. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
1. The command of God has come, so do not rush it. Glory be to Him; exalted above what they associate.
2. He sends down the angels with the Spirit by His command, upon whom He wills of His servants: “Give warning that there is no god but Me, and fear Me.”
3. He created the heavens and the earth with justice. He is exalted above the associations they attribute.
4. He created the human being from a drop of fluid, yet he becomes an open adversary.
5. And the livestock-He created them for you. In them are warmth and benefits for you, and of them you eat.
6. And there is beauty in them for you, when you bring them home, and when you drive them to pasture.
7. And they carry your loads to territory you could not have reached without great hardship. Your Lord is Clement and Merciful.
8. And the horses, and the mules, and the donkeys-for you to ride, and for luxury. And He creates what you do not know.
9. It is for God to point out the paths, but some of them are flawed. Had He willed, He could have guided you all.
10. It is He Who sends down for you from the sky water. From it is drink, and with it grows vegetation for grazing.
11. And He produces for you grains with it, and olives, and date-palms, and grapes, and all kinds of fruits. Surely in that is a sign for people who think.
12. And He regulated for you the night and the day; and the sun, and the moon, and the stars are disposed by His command. Surely in that are signs for people who ponder.
13. And whatsoever He created for you on earth is of diverse colors. Surely in that is a sign for people who are mindful.
14. And it is He who made the sea to serve you, that you may eat from it tender meat, and extract from it ornaments that you wear. And you see the ships plowing through it, as you seek His bounties, so that you may give thanks.
15. And he cast mountains on the earth, lest it shifts with you; and rivers, and roads, so that you may be guided.
16. And landmarks. And by the stars they guide themselves.
17. Is He who creates like him who does not create? Will you not take a lesson?
18. And if you tried to enumerate the favors of God, you will not be able to count them. God is Forgiving and Merciful.
19. And God knows what you hide and what you disclose.
20. Those they invoke besides God create nothing, but are themselves created.
21. They are dead, not alive; and they do not know when they will be resurrected.
22. Your God is one God. As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, their hearts are in denial, and they are arrogant.
23. Without a doubt, God knows what they conceal and what they reveal. He does not like the arrogant.
24. And when it is said to them, “What has your Lord sent down?” They say, “Legends of the ancients.”
25. So let them carry their loads complete on the Day of Resurrection, and some of the loads of those they misguided without knowledge. Evil is what they carry.
26. Those before them also schemed, but God took their structures from the foundations, and the roof caved in on them. The punishment came at them from where they did not perceive.
27. Then, on the Day of Resurrection, He will disgrace them, and say, “Where are My associates for whose sake you used to dispute?” Those who were given knowledge will say, “Today shame and misery are upon the disbelievers.”
28. Those wronging their souls while the angels are taking them away-they will propose peace: “We did no wrong.” Yes you did. God is aware of what you used to do.”
29. Enter the gates of Hell, to dwell therein forever. Miserable is the residence of the arrogant.
30. And it will be said to those who maintained piety, “What has your Lord revealed?” They will say, “Goodness.” To those who do good in this world is goodness, and the Home of the Hereafter is even better. How wonderful is the residence of the pious.
31. The Gardens of Perpetuity, which they will enter, beneath which rivers flow, where they will have whatever they desire. Thus God rewards the pious.
32. Those who are in a wholesome state when the angels take them-will say, “Peace be upon you; enter Paradise, for what you used to do.”
33. Are they but waiting for the angels to come to them, or for the command of your Lord to arrive? Those before them did likewise. God did not wrong them, but they used to wrong their own souls.
34. So the evils of their deeds assailed them, and what they used to ridicule engulfed them.
35. The idolaters say, “Had God willed, we would not have worshiped anything besides Him, neither us, nor our ancestors, nor would we have prohibited anything besides His prohibitions.” Those before them did likewise. Are the messengers responsible for anything but clear communication?
36. To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was.
37. Even though you may be concerned about their guidance, God does not guide those who misguide. And they will have no saviors.
38. And they swear by God with their most solemn oaths, “God will not resurrect anyone who dies.” Yes indeed, it is a promise binding on Him, but most people do not know.
39. To clarify for them what they differed about, and for the faithless to know that they were liars.
40. When We intend for something to happen, We say to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
41. Those who emigrate for God’s sake after being persecuted, We will settle them in a good place in this world; but the reward of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.
42. Those who endure patiently, and in their Lord they put their trust.
43. We did not send before you except men whom We inspired. So ask the people of knowledge, if you do not know.
44. With the clarifications and the scriptures. And We revealed to you the Reminder, that you may clarify to the people what was revealed to them, and that they may reflect.
45. Do those who scheme evils feel secure that God will not cause the earth to cave in with them, or that the punishment will not come upon them from where they do not perceive?
46. Or that He will not seize them during their activities? And they will not be able to prevent it.
47. Or that He will not seize them while in dread? Your Lord is Gentle and Merciful.
48. Have they not observed what God has created? Their shadows revolve from the right and the left, bowing to God as they shrink away.
49. To God bows down everything in the heavens and everything on earth-every living creature, and the angels, and without being proud.
50. They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded.
51. God has said: “Do not take two gods; He is only One God; so fear only Me.”
52. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth; and to Him obedience is due always. Do you, then, fear anyone other than God?
53. Whatever blessing you have is from God. And when harm touches you, it is to Him that you groan.
54. But when He lifts the harm from you, some of you associate others with their Lord.
55. To show ingratitude for what We have given them. Enjoy yourselves. You will soon know.
56. And they allocate, to something they do not know, a share of what We have provided for them. By God, you will be questioned about what you have been inventing.
57. And they attribute to God daughters-exalted is He-and for themselves what they desire.
58. And when one of them is given news of a female infant, his face darkens, and he chokes with grief.
59. He hides from the people because of the bad news given to him. Shall he keep it in humiliation, or bury it in the dust? Evil is the decision they make.
60. Those who do not believe in the Hereafter set a bad example, while God sets the Highest Example. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
61. If God were to hold mankind for their injustices, He would not leave upon it a single creature, but He postpones them until an appointed time. Then, when their time arrives, they will not delay it by one hour, nor will they advance it.
62. And they attribute to God what they themselves dislike, while their tongues utter the lie that theirs is the goodness. Without a doubt, for them is the Fire, and they will be neglected.
63. By God, We sent messengers to communities before you, but Satan made their deeds appear alluring to them. He is their master today, and they will have a painful punishment.
64. We revealed to you the Scripture only to clarify for them what they differ about, and guidance and mercy for people who believe.
65. God sends down water from the sky, with which He revives the earth after its death. In this is a sign for people who listen.
66. And there is a lesson for you in cattle: We give you a drink from their bellies, from between waste and blood, pure milk, refreshing to the drinkers.
67. And from the fruits of date-palms and grapevines, you derive sugar and wholesome food. In this is a sign for people who understand.
68. And your Lord inspired the bee: “Set up hives in the mountains, and in the trees, and in what they construct.”
69. Then eat of all the fruits, and go along the pathways of your Lord, with precision. From their bellies emerges a fluid of diverse colors, containing healing for the people. Surely in this is a sign for people who reflect.
70. God created you; then He takes you away. Some of you will be brought back to the worst age, so that he will no longer know anything, after having acquired knowledge. God is Omniscient and Omnipotent.
Read The Quran.
“I am to you a clear warner.”
“That you shall worship none but God. I fear for you the agony of a painful Day.”
Personally, as what I do know, there are colored - melanated people in just about every country in the world; thus, per example: Black Columbians, Black Cubans, Black Chinese, Black Japanese, Black Vietnamese, Black Parisians (French), Black Germans, Black Russians and etc...the list goes on.... Nevertheless, what often separates people, especially in accordance to their ethnicity, is (right or wrong) often related to whether or not they actually have natural skin color - melanated skin cells; inclusively, this can also be related to whether or not that person or those persons are 100% Black, 75% Black, 50% Black, Albino (albinoism), Mulatto, Mediterranean, North African & etc... The possibilities may even be said to be almost limitless.
As someone whos part filipino and whos mom never taught her the language because shed assume “id just pick it up when wed travel there” you are doing your kids a HUGEE favor. I always struggled with my pinoy side because i didn’t know Tagalog so knowing your kids know it is great!
Seriously, these people are all stunningly beautiful. What a mixture, so interesting to hear about their experiences. Thank you for the video.
Yes indeed
Yea I seen many they good,one was in my old medschool half white.
Exactly my though Japan + dark/brown skin seems to have always extremely beautiful result. I saw some brazilian + japanese as well, also stunningly beautiful.
Yes I agree.. culture is sooo beautiful.. USA doesnt have much and I feel like people come here and dont want to ve looked differently so they hide their culture. No one should be ashamed of where they came from. If anything maybe we can teach people in the USA something good.
I’ve never seen an ugly blasian person idk what it is lol
Raimu is very well spoken and definitely a person of the world. Partying is great way to live as we are always too busy and uptight about everything. Hopefully we see on the big screen one day or at least Netflix.
well done video and such respectful persons. As a half Chinese half Ghanaian (West Africa) born and raised Canadian I have been very fortunate to grow up in a multiethnic metropolis in Toronto. I’ve had similar experiences traveling to less multiethnic countries where there are also few tourists that influence the culture.. all in all I’ve loved the experiences and immersing in other cultures!
You’re very handsome :)
🦍
Beautiful woman! Didnt expect her to have an japanese accent while speaking english.
We always assume stuff we can not really know. But thats what this channel is about😜😀😀😀Nice interview.
I moved to Sapporo recently and I feel like such a fish out of water. I have travelled before and was never conscious about my ethnicity (or even my weight), but here it is clear _"one of these people is not like the others"._ Nobody has been rude to me or anything (thank heaven), but it is still so hard to not feel lonely. I couldn't imagine doing it for eighteen plus years. Really appreciate the insight and your willingness to explore and share these experiences, Takashi. They make a world of difference.
I hope you’ll feel better. And try not to feel like fish out of the water anymore. Some people will like you and some won’t. Trust me. Some people will get along with you and some others may hate you because you are fat, skinny, blonde or black hair. Just embrace and enjoy the opportunity you are experiencing. Good luck.
Some years ago I spent a year in rural Hokkaido. This was after I had spent 5 years in Tokyo. Hokkaido was a whole other experience, I really understand feeling lonely. 2 weeks is not that long, tho, so give yourself some time to learn more about the place and find ways to meet people you click with. Sapporo is a great city with diverse pockets of Japanese and foreigners doing fun things, I found a crew of rabid inline skaters and we used to roam the city all night long finding cool places to skate. Hahaha, crazy good memories of Sapporo.
Also try to get out of the city and see more of the island, Hokkaido is gorgeous.
I'm fascinated by the mixture of races and backgrounds. Great videos!
Thank you for doing this. This episode and this channel is quite powerful.
My mom is half Japanese but never went or lived in Japan a day in her life. She is completely disconnected from her heritage and language where as my sister and I are only a quarter and we were able to live there with our japanese grandma and learn the language and culture. It makes a huge impact and I believe is very important if you have Japanese heritage. Also there is a lot more Half black half Japanese people then you think, they are usually just hidden.
I honesty didn't know this at all. I just assumed 90% of Japanese are pure with the exception of a few mixed with other Asians, but not black.
@@RiversBliss A lot of the mixed people are located in Tokyo, etc.
@@RiversBliss Americans are the most mixed with Black people.
@@mwp446678 Didn't know that, I used to think Japan closely homogeneous.
@@frankb3467 Yeah, I think everyone is up to par with the U.S.A. being the most multi-racial group of any country.
You should consider doing a video on tattooed people in Japan. I work in the UK as a tattoo artist and I also have a lot of tattoos, but I know that tattoos are likely still frowned upon in Japan. It would be interesting to hear tattooed peoples opinions on life in Japan whether they're native Japanese or foreigners, and how their tattoos might affect their lives day to day. Your videos are very insightful and you come across very genuine and friendly =)
You should try walking around with a half left pinky in Japan and see what happens... 😉 People will avoid you
Tattoos and Yakuza go together, so that may be the reason tattoos are frowned.
I think other countries should respect the culture of getting tattoos.
However, the fact that in Japan tattoos are a sign of belonging to the Yakuza (anti-social forces) should not be denied.
@@4ho8po tattoos people are Devil not human
Good idea, I’d also like to see this
My grandfather was Japanese, one of the thousands who emigrated to the "south seas" islands at the turn of the 20th century. I was born and raised on the islands. Although I was born in 1950, both WWI and WWII had direct impact on my grandfather's life to the extent that I never met or knew him. My father was half Japanese. My grandfather had to return to Japan following WWI. My father visited often until the embargo on Japanese and American travels leading up to WWII. After WWII, my family lost any contact with my grandfather (possibly killed in the Tokyo bombing raids). I grew up never knowing or experiencing anything related to my Japanese roots. I feel as if the Japanese side of my being had been stolen by world events.
That's so sad, I'm sorry man. Have you ever traveled to Japan?
@@KAXSH my first trip to Japan I sailed in with friends on a 42 ft sloop. I had an amazing visit, it was like being set down on the set of the movie "blade runner" and other European flicks. It's too bad Americans the majority will probably never travel to visit as a holiday. They will be pleasantly surprised. I made subsequent visits always connected to the sailing community. As a foreigner winter in Tokyo is extremely lonely if you don't know anyone. Travel in the Spring or Summer, the best time.
Oh my goodness! The evils of war are hard to repair. Here is hoping for healing. 🙏🏾
Great interviews and fantastic for you to invest time and energy in encouraging people to share their experiences and openly communicate - Bravo and keep up the wonderful channel
I dealt with that curly hair struggle in the states. Everyone made us feeling like we had to straighten or get a weave or a wig… wasn’t until my 20s that I stopped and finally realized the way my hair grows naturally out of my head is absolutely gorgeous. My curls are everything
Kiara,
Would you mind if i asked "who" made you feel like you had to straighten your hair? Was it family members, members of your neighborhood or school? Other? (And yes, if your profile pic is any indication those people were out of their minds.....your hair is beautiful!)
I agree. Who told you to do that stuff with your hair and who made you feel bad? Could you answer in detail?
Curly hair is the best though
@@neologian1783 just society in general. Straight hair is seen as beautiful and professional, so black people were shunned from society and they straightened their hair. Also, their was a law that prohibited black people to wear their natural hair and they had to cover it with like a hat or scarf.
@@VisionoftheChief How so? I'd like to know how my merely wavy hair is letting me down, lol.
The interviews were eye-opening and informative. I am glad that the people who interviewed were absolutely honest in their feelings about their culture, skin tone, and bi-racial treatment in both of their race background.
Being Biracial is subjective by the way. And it’s subjective if parents determine your race or not.
Black women running over there under guise of teach English really out seduce Asian guys to get that 'Good Hair', want Bone Straight silky. Notice she didn't say I want to go to Africa Nigeria to her Blaaack side, nooo.. 😂; she wants to come to America we're she can get into Acting & act Black to make that money off dumb N..., But beat ur last dollar she will either marry White (Tiger), if she can't she will marry into another race people; she not going to let nothing Black 🖤 Daark Brown 🟤 touch her; unless he's in the basketball 🏀 🏈 ⚾ ⛳ field MegaMillions. Fools better recognize the Game they're playing.
Notice: his Tone of Voice when asking "are u going to go to Africa or wherever?" It was on 'When are u 'Halfas' getting the *@#& out of here...Leave'. That's what he was really saying, thinking, asking ..duh
@@shellynwillis4342 don't stick your secularism on this man.
He quite clearly wasn't implying anything of the kind.
Didn't you realise that the Japanese language has different intonation than English?
But it's this guy who's discriminatory?! 🤦♀️
Hudson - Theres nothing informative about lies like in this video, Or fake-victims and their thinly-veiled hardcore and mindlessly self-entitlement complex in petty racism like many have here for the japanese, Desperate for conquest and free-things they havent earned - By any means necessary.
Nothing informative about people who push that at all. Subjectivity has nothing to do with objective truth that doesnt cater to full-on and obvious racially-obsessed liars, Especially in blm.
I love your content Takashi! Keep it up! You’re putting a smile on many peoples faces. Aswell as educate many people.
pleased to see how diverse can be people around the world, Takashi, thanks for opening new horizons and your work.
This was so interesting. I am Japanese American & my son is half Nigerian raised in California. I know even he felt he was different growing up there & I tried finding other children who looked like him. I appreciate hearing the stories of the people you interviewed & look forward to watching the one where you interview mixed race raised outside Japan.
Most half Asians look black it hard to tell many times especially in cali .
@@baddd59true. Some Asians have AA strong features … sooo…
@@navyjohnes it’s not a bad thing
@@baddd59 Absolutely not. I was just referencing for those who don't know. Trust, we are all connected.
@@baddd59 it’s the high cheek bones and round face that can be seen in both African and Asian facial features
Thank you again for this very very interesting video. I see half black and half Japanese very attractive-looking! Also there was a Miss Japan in 2015, Ariana Miyamoto, with half black American and half Japanese roots. She was first Miss Japan, who was half Japanese. She also placed in top ten at Miss Universe 2015.
I have seen many comments that rave about haafu black females attractivness from non-japanese people in comment sections below half japanese related youtube videos and i think many half black half japanese men are attractive and talented too. look at aska(asuka) cambridge who is half Jamaican track and field sprinter who ever competed with Usain bolt at olympic game in the past. I am not suprised that there are many male sprinter athletes doing well and who are half black in japan. Anyways, they deserve more attentions. For females, many half black girls have been dominating beauty pageants in japan. aisha harumi tochigi won miss universe japan 2020 pageant. also, mizuno chika won miss grande japan title last year. they are not only attractive looking but also have very positive, elegant and confident mindset by judging based on their interviews and their instagram posts.
half Asian half black almost exclusively looked like Afro Latinas they will fit and blend right in a lot of South American and Latin Carribean countries.
@@gentilewarrior I am now living in Spain and here are lots of Latin American people and I agree with that!
Excuse me, I believe the technical term is blackanese
@@gentilewarrior there’s no look
The japan accents are incredibly charming, and so unexpected. really mind bending, thank you 🙏
I love watching videos like this because as someone who grew up in the US but had immigrant parents from honduras it has and can still be a journey of finding my own identity and the split of feeling american but looking Latino and learning how to embrace that dualism.
I absolutely love these interviews. They gave different perspectives and highlighted the diversity and their ability to adapt. Great job!
I'm glad that Raima drill wants to know her Nigerian side. We, Nigerians do love a party and we are hospitable, respectful and have a rich culture. You are lucky to have both bloods ( Japanese and Nigerian blood). Two rich cultures.
@Marie oh well, only the greedy fall for that. Sad you
@@Nkiru12 Sad you for judging others
@@kaihiroku8495 the fact speaks for itself
u forgot big scammers too 😆
@@mgdakidd2861 true, for the greedy.
When I watch this channel, it really brings home how much our environments can shape us into who we are. We are all beautiful people.
I couldn't help but notice Takashi's shock and slight embarrassment when Kai was talking about his experience with the police (nothing that hasn't happened in The West).
I think the police acted reasonably though. Obviously if there are little to no other blacks around, the likelihood that you're the perpetrator is extraordinarily high. So I wouldn't say, that was racist or prejudiced.
@@SaschaEderer - Well, if he was stealing from the bank, did they find huge amounts of money or weapons on him?? and was the bank complaining??- It was heavy handed of them to take him to his house and search it since they had nothing on him, and it would have been clear quite quickly that someone called the police on him for no reason. So yes, it was prejudiced and racist of them - like Kai he said, it is something that does happen.
@@Summerbunny15 ? He said that they were looking for a black person specifically - that narrows down the list of potential suspects quite substantially, to say the least
@@SaschaEderer - Did you read my previous response?? - Had the bank even had an ATTEMPTED heist??
@@Summerbunny15 Yeah, how did it change anything? „They were saying a black guy was stealing money from the bank“ - That’s certainly enough of a reason to investigate him. You don’t know about the circumstances which surrounded it.
Cool, I’m Nigerian 🇳🇬and i really like how Raimu expressed herself i hope she will achieve her dream of becoming an actress in America
Hollywood is evil. I hope she does her research about Hollyweired.

Kai,you will do well in life. Your attitude will carry you far.
As a half Mexican half Algerian person, raised between Saudi Arabia the states, I can so relate to these girls.
It's so interesting to listen to someone with African heritage have an Asian accent because of the culture they were raised in, (being an adoptee from South Korea but growing up in America), it's so fascinating!
Its worthless what these shadesters have to say which is always the same thing - And the rest of the world doesnt need blackwashing.
It's fascinating to me as well. It's also sad that we're not used to see this and I think a lot of westerners still need to understand that cultural upbringing is what defines an identity rather than ethnicity.
@@IkmelAAA .. Yeah except thats not true what youve said there. Indoctrination is neither fascinating or moral after all.
@@IkmelAAA I thought that was obvious?! That idea of "ethnicity being your identity" sounds EXTREMELY American to me, atleast here in England decent folk do not judge by colour/ethnicity etc

@@PolarBear-rc4ks How are all those migrants crossing the channel working out for you? I hear you guys are getting quite a lot of stabbings as well. Care to explain that? I'm from America I don't understand it.

Great interviews!!
They are all so stunning. Waaa, really brings out the best in their features.
This was interesting… one of my good friends is half Japanese and half black… she traveled back and forth between both countries when she was younger… she told me once how she felt like a foreigner and it was difficult for her to live in Japan… she said she felt more comfortable living in the US for the same diverse reasons… I hope these interviews open/start some type of dialog on this issue… great stuff!
"Half Japanese and Half black".. Like black is one thing. Not African or Caribbean.. Just straight up black. Don't people think that in itself is a little fucked up? 😐
@@NoMoreLies365 Well maybe you do research on why it’s like this. Let me enlighten you our ancestors were from many countries in west Africa but were kidnapped by white colonizers and distributed across the U.S. Brazil the Caribbean & West Indies England so our ancestors were not from just 1 country in west Africa so they call us black. Understand?

Takashi: Thank you for sharing a well rounded view of the life in Japan! Yes some people do have racial overtones which are deeply ingrained in most if not "ALL", cultures, but what YOU are doing is to be commended! I do appreciate your "grounded perspective" in being NETURAL in your reporting, and it really allows the audience to feel "connected in your interviewing process"! Keep up the great work you and your crew are doing! Believe me; what you are doing is bridging "the gap in humanity which is sorely needed". I'll tune in from time to time and check "YOU" out!

Very good interview 👍🏽
Omg, these girls are enchantingly beautiful!! Really awesome Interview series! Great work Takashi!!
This was a very informative and cool video. Seeing the perspective of people who are born from a Japanese and Black parentage and then being raised in Japan really shares the different experiences and paths that they take and also how they are viewed in a society that doesn't have them as the norm to a large degree. I defidently took a lot from this and it was a pleasant and captivating video to watch. Keep on keeping on and I defidently enjoy your work and you as a person as well as your YT channel.
I really love your English, even though you're japanese you can speak it fluently! And now that I'm living in Japan (Gifu prefecture as well) I'm starting to love these interviews even more
Thank you for sharing this video. It was very informative.
Love Takashii ❤
This is a very lovely interview. I just get surprised of the exponential growth of subscribers. Road to 500k. Keep up the good work, Takashi-san! 素晴らしい!
Wow such a beautiful video. Thank you for creating this and for these interviews. So beautiful. My daughters studied mandarin when we lived in California and I would send them to abacus class as well 2x a week. They were the only AfAm kiddos in the class. And always embraced. They learned so much from them studying the language and mathematics… it has been a foundation a much more (they also study French and Spanish) #multilingual ❤ I think the greatest gift you can give your kids is to expose them to other cultures if possible and teach them how they relate to the world around them ❤
Amazing!!! This is awesome 😎
Was surprised to see that Alexis & Raimu are actually friends ! Interesting you had the chance to interview them both !
Thank Takashi for another excellent interview. I really hope other nationals watching can open up to diversity like yourself💖
Takashi, man I have to say. I love the diversity in your videos. Thank you for representing everyone. Hopefully I make it to Japan one day. Keep doing you bro 💯👍
Alexis and Raimu are soooo beautiful! You go girls!
So glad i randomly found this channel and subscribed . Really interesting content ❤️
I love that RUclips popped this up in my feed. I am an international school teacher in Singapore at the moment, and I have many students of varying backgrounds, some who are either Japanese mixed race students or Japanese students who would consider themselves third culture kids. I appreciate videos like this because it shows that Japan, like many places, is going through generational changes that lean more toward tolerance and acceptance of people from different backgrounds. Videos like this one are needed now more than ever as some people in the world would love to keep us divided and distrustful of each other. Thank you! SUBSCRIBED!
This is great Takashi! Really love your content. Keep doing your best! Also, for expand your content, I highly suggest going abroad, Asia, Europe, America and especially Hawaii where I currently reside. The culture here in Hawaii is such a melting pot. There is a diversity of cultures here in Hawaii that is somewhat fused. Even the foods here are that of a fusion style because of the diverse culture during the plantation days here in Hawaii. I do hope you would do America especially here in Hawaii. I guarantee you will not regret it and will make your content, viewing and subscribers reach an all new high. I’m a Filipino that was born in Washington state and grew up in Oahu, Hawaii. You are awesome Takashi! Aloha from Hawaii!
So lovely that the last person embraced their Nigerian side, she will feel very welcomed there!#naija
This mixture is so beautiful
Anything mixed with black honestly ❤
Great video and insights, and I must say that last girl was 😍😍😍😍😍

I watched this video and the other one you did with half Japanese/half Black people .. every single one of them is so exotically beautiful!!

1. In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
2. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.
2. God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent. Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
3. He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel.
4. Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge.
5. Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven.
6. It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise.
16. And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location.
17. She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human.
18. She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”
19. He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.”
20. She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
21. He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“
22. So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place.
23. The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.”
24. Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you.
25. And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.”
26. “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“
27. Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible.
28. O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.”
29. So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?”
30. He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet.
31. And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live.
32. And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
33. So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.”
34. That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt.
35. It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
36. “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”
37. But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day.
38. Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
39. And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
40. It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned.
58. This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder.
59. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.
60. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
61. And if anyone disputes with you about him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our children and your children, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and let us invoke God’s curse on the liars.”
62. This is the narrative of truth: there is no god but God. God is the Mighty, the Wise.
63. But if they turn away-God knows the corrupt.
64. Say, “O People of the Book, come to terms common between us and you: that we worship none but God, and that we associate nothing with Him, and that none of us takes others as lords besides God.” And if they turn away, say, “Bear witness that we have submitted.”
65. O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason?
66. Here you are-you argue about things you know, but why do you argue about things you do not know? God knows, and you do not know.
67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists.
68. The people most deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers.
69. A party of the People of the Book would love to lead you astray, but they only lead themselves astray, and they do not realize it.
70. O People of the Book! Why do you reject the revelations of God, even as you witness?
71. O People of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with falsehood, and knowingly conceal the truth?
72. Some of the People of the Book say, “Believe in what was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day, and reject it at its end, so that they may return.”
73. And trust none except those who follow your religion.” Say, “Guidance is God’s guidance. If someone is given the like of what you were given, or they argue with you before your Lord, say, “All grace is in God’s hand; He gives it to whomever He wills.” God is Bounteous and Knowing.
74. He specifies His mercy for whomever He wills. God is Possessor of Sublime Grace.
75. Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about God, and they know it.
76. Indeed, whoever fulfills his commitments and maintains piety-God loves the pious.
77. Those who exchange the covenant of God, and their vows, for a small price, will have no share in the Hereafter, and God will not speak to them, nor will He look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. They will have a painful punishment.
78. And among them are those who twist the Scripture with their tongues, that you may think it from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say, “It is from God,” when it is not from God. They tell lies and attribute them to God, knowingly.
79. No person to whom God has given the Scripture, and wisdom, and prophethood would ever say to the people, “Be my worshipers rather than God’s.” Rather, “Be people of the Lord, according to the Scripture you teach, and the teachings you learn.”
80. Nor would he command you to take the angels and the prophets as lords. Would he command you to infidelity after you have submitted?
81. God received the covenant of the prophets, “Inasmuch as I have given you of scripture and wisdom; should a messenger come to you verifying what you have, you shall believe in him, and support him.” He said, “Do you affirm My covenant and take it upon yourselves?” They said, “We affirm it.” He said, “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.”
82. Whoever turns away after that-these are the deceitful.
83. Do they desire other than the religion of God, when to Him has submitted everything in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned?
84. Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.”
85. Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.
86. How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people.
87. Those-their penalty is that upon them falls the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all mankind.
88. Remaining in it eternally, without their punishment being eased from them, and without being reprieved.
89. Except those who repent afterwards, and reform; for God is Forgiving and Merciful.
90. As for those who disbelieve after having believed, then plunge deeper into disbelief, their repentance will not be accepted; these are the lost.
91. As for those who disbelieve and die disbelievers, even the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them, were he to offer it for ransom. These will have a painful torment, and will have no saviors.
111. And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.”
Read The Quran.
“I am to you a clear warner.”
“That you shall worship none but God. I fear for you the agony of a painful Day.”
