Mr Islam told the BBC his words had been “misconstrued and misrepresented”.
He added: “I support all local businesses, that’s the type of person I am, especially in Bradford West.”
He claimed the video had been “blown out of proportion” by “competitors and opposition that are trying to bring me down”.
Mr Islam also said he would also continue as a councillor if elected as an MP.
“I can do so much more for my community as a parliamentarian and a councillor,” he added.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson told the BBC: “We have been made aware of a video circulating on social media and will be making further enquiries to identify any potential electoral offences.”
The BBC has also contacted Bradford Council for comment.
