Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh meaning me the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah
Subhana Allah be upon all of you,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:37
			your brothers and sisters, we are on a journey to learn to explore to discover the essentials of
Islam and NMR.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:02:32
			And we take this journey further in order to understand and answer certain relevant questions that
our new Muslim brothers and sisters have after accepting Islam. We should, in this session,
inshallah deal with some of the most frequently asked questions and answer them based on the
authentic sources of Islam. So we may have the first question from you, brother, salaam Ali, Ali
from Salama brother, I would like to know, what are we supposed to do after accepting Islam? What
are you supposed to do after accepting Islam? First of all, you need to know why you have accepted
Islam. Why you have made the Shahada, this Shahada that you have made, you have made with complete
		
00:02:32 --> 00:03:15
			consciousness, and understanding that Allah Subhana Allah is the one who deserves to be worshipped.
And this choice that you have made, you need to understand that you have actually not changed your
religion. You have not converted, in fact, you have been reverted, you came back to the faith that
you were born with Allah subhanaw taala. He mentions in the Quran, in Surah, facilite surah, number
41. And number 30, in alladhina, kalu robina law, those who have said, Allah is our rub, Allah is
our Lord, so must
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:27
			then be on it. Be steadfast and be firm on it. What will happen if we be firm on Islam, after
accepting Islam?
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:32
			Allah Allah, Allah, Allahu wa,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:37
			Abba Shirou Belgian Attila t goon to wear a dune.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:51
			The agents will descend upon you, saying, Do not feel, do not grieve, but receive the good news of
Jenna, that which you are promised.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:04:48
			Allah subhanaw taala he teaches us in this ayah that after accepting Islam, after saying that Allah
is our Lord, Allah is our rubbish. You have to be firm on it. The way accepting Islam is important.
It is equally important that you remain on Islam, that you be on Islam. And there are so many ways
that you can actually adopt or there are so many things that you can do after accepting Islam in
order to be firm and gain the actual fruits from your seat. Number one, in order to be formed on
your feet. The first thing that you can do is gain knowledge, gain knowledge about Allah subhanaw
taala gain knowledge about the Quran, gain knowledge about Prophet Muhammad peace be upon gain
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:59
			knowledge about other aspects of Islam, which will help you and take you closer to the truth. The
more you know, the more you understand, the more you will be
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:17
			strengthened and empowered. First thing, the second thing that you need to do my brother is you need
to believe in Allah subhanaw taala with sincerity and certainty, when you said, a shadow Allah ilaha
illAllah
		
00:05:18 --> 00:06:20
			Muhammad Rasulullah Allah, be sincere on it, mean it and sincerity demands two things. Number one,
that you do not associate any one with Allah subhanaw taala and you worship Him alone who is worthy
to be worshipped. That is number one. Sincerity also demands that you be obedient to Him. Allah
Subhana Allah says in Surah Baqarah surah number two, and number 202 Allah subhanaw taala says in
Surah Baqarah surah number two or number 208 yo yo la Vina amanu all you who believe are the Hulu
Cilmi Kapha enter into Islam wholeheartedly, completely, but not partially. Absolutely. What are
what is shut down and do not follow the footsteps of shaitan in who la cama de como bien. Most
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:24
			certainly shaitan is your open enemy,
		
00:06:25 --> 00:07:01
			this fight this war against shaitan it begins more severely, more strongly The moment you accept
Islam. Because understand the nature the psychology of Satan is that is that he does not want you to
be on the right path. He has committed his commitment with Allah subhanaw taala is that he will
deviate the slaves of a loss penalty. And none can be deviated except those except those people from
Allah subhanaw taala gives the right path.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:25
			The way that you need to understand is that the battle between you and shaytan it begins more
strongly more severely after accepting Islam. So Allah subhanaw taala in this is in who la cama de
como bien shaitan for you is an open enemy. So how do you treat with the enemy? You bash him up?
		
00:07:26 --> 00:08:22
			Yeah, you go against him. Whatever he says, you go, you oppose him. So treat shaitan as your enemy.
And that is the thing that you need to do, after accepting Islam be sincere in believing in Allah
subhanho wa Taala be certain in the belief of Allah subhanaw taala certainty demands for things be
certain, in the belief of Allah subhanaw taala that Allah subhanaw taala he exists, his existence is
real number to be certain in the belief of Allah subhanho wa Taala that Allah subhanaw taala is the
only one and unique in his lordship, be certain in the belief of Allah subhanho wa Taala that he is
the only one and unique in his names and attributes, be certain in the belief of Allah subhanaw
		
00:08:22 --> 00:09:17
			taala that he is the one who deserves to be worshipped and all the Divinity belongs to Allah
subhanaw taala alone. So the second thing that you need to do is believe in Allah subhanaw taala
with certainty and sincerity. The third thing that you need to do after accepting Islam is that know
and follow your leader, your example, Muhammad Sallallahu sallam. If you lose your life, if you lose
your focus on the life of Muhammad peace be upon him, you are never going to get the guidance,
because Allah subhanaw taala has set him as an example for us to follow till eternity. Allah
subhanaw taala says into the Azov show number 33 number 21 luck on the karnala comfy Rasulullah he
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:59
			was watton hustler. The best example for all of us to follow is in the life of Muhammad, peace and
blessings be upon. So the third thing that you need to do after accepting Islam is to know and
follow Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam The fourth thing that you need to do after accepting
Islam is that you need to make or on as your living manual which is the real purpose of the Quran.
If you are away from the Quran after accepting Islam, they will be sure attack of Satan. If you are
as a companion of the Quran, you will always be protected. If you
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:38
			are attached with the Quran you will never be misguided. If you are be with the Quran you will
always be empowered and your Eman will be strengthened. If you distance yourself from the Quran,
that means you are distant from Allah subhanho wa Taala because peran connects you to Allah subhanaw
taala because it is the speech of Allah subhanaw taala it reminds you about Allah subhanaw taala it
helps you strengthen in the belief of Allah subhanho wa Taala so make sure that you make Oran as a
way of your life.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:47
			The fifth thing that you need to do after accepting Islam is establish Salah established Salah
		
00:10:48 --> 00:11:43
			Salah helps you to be formed on Islam. It is the amount of Deen it is the pillar of Islam. It is the
pillar of this Deen. If you do not establish Salah, then you will never be able to strengthen
yourself, you will never be able to be formed after accepting Islam. No matter what the situations
come, you should never leave the obligatory Salah. And this is the first declaration. It is the
first manifestation after when you set a shadow a la ilaha illa law, when you said that you have
declared that there is no god worthy of worship, except Allah than you mean it by practicing and
standing and establishing the Salah that gives you firmness in the belief of Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:11:44 --> 00:12:32
			and that helps you strengthen because you are constantly reminded you are in touch with Allah
subhanaw taala You are the guest of Allah subhanaw taala every single day, five times. So you will
be always protected. This is the key thing that you need to do after accepting Islam. Another thing
that you need to do after accepting Islam is be with the good company, be in the company of
righteous people. Because if you go back to the company of evil, the people who are evil, if you go
and mixed with them, after accepting Islam, you will lose the fear of loss pantalla you will lose
the love of Allah subhanaw taala you will lose the obedience of Allah subhanaw taala as a result you
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:36
			will lose to gain the era, the agenda. And
		
00:12:38 --> 00:13:29
			so you need to make sure after accepting Islam, you have to have good company, be in the company of
good Muslims after accepting Islam, for these people who will remind you about Allah subhanaw taala
they will remind you about the purpose of life, that you are here with a purpose to worship Allah
subhanaw taala they will remind you so many things, which will always keep you form on Islam.
Another thing that you need to do after accepting Islam by brothers is that you have to be patient.
We know we know that this struggle after accepting Islam, confronting your not get Muslim family
members confronting the society that you will live in with it is difficult. You need to be patient.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:44
			You need to understand that after accepting Islam, the price the foods that you gain, as we
mentioned, the angels will descend upon you, saying do not feel Do not grieve, but receive the good
news of Jannah.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:14:13
			Allah subhanaw taala will never keep any efforts of yours in vain. So be patient, no matter what
comes, what difficulty what challenges come, be patient on Islam, and pray for yourself and for your
family that day may also be guided. So these are some of the things that you need to do after
accepting Islam. Hope that answers your question.
