As I am an Arab. I got carried away.

I understand, why you did that and everything.

Sorry. Frankly that..

No, truly, I understand.

I agree with you.

Well, do you...

do you have a boyfriend?

I don't have a boyfriend.

I...

I love...

I love Christ.

I love Christ.

But we all have a

religion that we love.

Yes but,

I don't want to have a boyfriend, because...

Why?

I am here for Him.

But we are all here for...

for a cause.

Yes, but...

I am a virgin, and I want

to stay a virgin.

I don't want to have sex with a guy

and everything.

Why did I say that?

It's not serious.

I appreciate that you told me.

No, but it's just that I can't...

Frankly i'm impressed by what you are.

But I really like you.

I like you too.

and also, I'm impressed by what you are

and what you've told me.

Please don't get the wrong...

... at the concert there, I got carried away.

- I hope you don't mind.

- No, it's not serious.

Don't worry about it.

- I can't stay here

- Oh really?

- You can't stay, are you sure?

- No, I can't.

You know what,

if you feel like coming over to my brother's house.

- Yes, if you want. Send me a text

- Okay

- Thank you

- Later.

Is that your new friend, Yassine?

Ah, yes...

She's cute.

Good luck.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Seen your mother?

No.

Ok, I have to go, see you tomorrow.

Hello.

Do you know Yassine?

Yassine? Yassine who?

Yassine Shire

- Yassine Shire?

- He lives here.

- Ah, yeah, he's not here.

- He's not here.

- Do you where I can find him?

- At the mosque.

Take the stairs and turn left.

Thank you.

Come on.

Excuse me, is that your dog?

He's not bad.

No.

Come.

- Yassine.

- What are you doing here?

- They told me you were here in the mosque.

- Don't come here.

Come on, let's go.

Don't lie.

This is the mosque not my home.

Yes, I live here

But it's not my place.

Peace be upon you.

Come on let's go.

Come in.

I want you to meet a friend.

Hello

Hi.

- Do you drink tea?

- Yes.

- Bring two glasses.

- Okay.

- Please sit down.

Aren't you going to serve.

Pour me a little bit too.

- So, is this the first time you've come here?

- Yes, yes, yes.

- Do you like it?

- Yes.

- It's pretty.

- Have you seen our view?

- Yes, it's cool.

- We can see Paris.

- How do you find it?

- Well, its different, but...

- Different? Than what?

Then...

...what I know.

You are from Paris?

Yes.

Yassine told me that you

study theology?

Yes.

I am a Christian.

Christian?

Do you know about Islam, a bit?

No really.

Not really?

Well if you are interested, I teach a class

on religious reflection. Yes.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow evening.

If you are interested, you can come.

You can laugh, that's my brother.

Baa!

Yes!

Are you interested?

Yes, of course. Its...

Where? What, what do you do?

Tomorrow we will cover a topic that

you'd like to know,

the notion of invisibility.

That's right.

A very important concept, I think for

all religions

but I'll talk about it particularly as it regards to Islam.

- You will be welcome.

- Well, thank you.

Will you bring her?

Will you bring her?

- When? - Tomorrow

- Yes of course, tomorrow then.

But right now I must go...

- ... I have a meeting. - Yes

- I'll see you tomorrow.

- Peace.

- Peace.

So I thought that

- I would introduce you like I said last time

- Yeah.

He has a passion just like you.

A love for Islam.

and at the same time he is a good

friend you can trust.

- Do you like him?

- Yes.

Yeah me too,

I'm happy.

- I'll call you tomorrow, to take you to my brother's.

- Okay.

See you later.

Wait there.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Is this the place where Nassir's class meets?

- Yes back there.

- In there?

Well, what good is a notion if you forget

it one week to another?

Surah 6:
Cattle.

Because it contains the key to mystery.

Surah 72:
The Jinn

Pardon me.

Ah, hello miss.

Come in.

We have a guest today.

She is not a Muslim but is welcome.

Have a seat there.

Perfect.

Then I will continue:

I will read Surah 72,

verses 26 and 27.

He knows the unseen, nor does he make anyone

acquainted with his secrets, except a messenger

Thus, "al-ghaib" comes from the

verb "al-ghaiba", "ghaiba"

which means "not here", "absent"

We can translate it

many ways into French:

Absence, unknown, hidden, unseen.

The invisible,

what is this? God is both what is obvious

and also what is hidden.

More visible and more invisible.

How can we think that these

attributes are contradicting?

God is present in his absence, it is when

he is retired that he is manifested the most.

And this is faith. To have confidence in what is not seen.

What is happening here?

Are you okay or what?

Keep yourself silent please.

I'm talking about something else that

distracts your eyes.

- Okay.

How does God manifest himself?

What's wrong?

- I wasn't comfortable in there.

- Why?

Sit.

Please tell me.

Did I say something wrong?

Don't cry.

Is it because of that young man?

I can't bear to look at another.

Another to whom?

Who?

Other than Christ.

It's nice what you say.

I miss him.

What do you mean?

If you love him.

Yes I love him.

I love him and I know that he loves me.

He has come to me often

and made me understand

what is love.

That's what put you in this state?

You should be happy.

Yes, but then

the world full of suffering.

My heart... it makes me ill.

I don't understand very well

What's missing?

His heart, his...

It's not his heart that you love.

It's everything.

Him.

You'll be fine.

No.

If you love him, he is there.

Yes, he is there, I know.

He is not absent.

Yes.

He is invisible.

You know what I said earlier?

He manifests where you are.

If you have faith, if you love,

then he is there, he is in you.

It's happening here, now.

We must do something.

You must act if you have faith.

you have to continue the Creator's work.

He doesnt appear by staying still and suffering

but from action in the world.

Hey its red.

Yassine!

So what do you think.

I'll see your brother, because

theres something I want to say.

What will you say?

About live with God.

I don't think so.

I am in love with God Yassine,

you know, you undertand.

I am with him

I feel him near me.

Are you crazy or what?

God is there.

No, he is not there.

He isn't there Yassine.

I miss his love.

It's like when you are in love with someone,

you need to be with them.

I'm not dead.

But I can't live without his love.

Do you love me or not?

I just said, it is not an absence of a man

what i have is from God.

I believe you

I want...

The struggle is important.

The struggle?

Political action.

Not violent.

Nassir, why use a bomb?

And what do you want me to tell you?

The truth.

The truth?

Violence is natural, that

is the order of things.

And, we respond with

our violence.

What about the innocents and all that?

What innocents? Do you think

there are truly innocents

in a democratic world where people

elect their representatives?
