Chill Yo Islam Yo

Me and my friends that have been born and raised in New York, have a certain way of talking, or as you can say slang, in Brooklyn and else where, you see all kinds of Muslim brothers and sisters, and you will see them dressed a certain way, talking a certain way, etc. For example we have a habit instead of saying hi like others we say Salaam but we also say “Yo What’s Good”, and then the other person would say “Chillin Alhumduillah”, or if we are being lectured or are conversating and we agree with the issue or topic, instead of making it complicated we just say “Werd”, it just makes life easier, and it saves time.

But when it comes to saying something is haraam, we like to switch it up a bit and just make it easier by saying Chill Yo Islam Yo….basically me and all my friends every time we are offered to do something haraam or people try to tempt us, you know those annoying shatans (meaning devils), we just straight up say “Chill Yo Islam Yo,” Islam is real relaxing, although it might seem hard in this life, inside your heart your in peace and tranquility…so yea this is why we say Chill Yo Islam Yo.

I really found it to be an appealing slogan, as least in New York, it just sums up everything we feel as Young Muslims at any given situation, it gets real addicting talking like this, and it sort of becomes automatic, so don’t get it twisted, Chill Yo Islam Yo. Halalujah!
