New Muslims,
you Allah what questions I got this week.
Wallah, I say what Allah is gonna ask
me.
Young woman came to me
after Saturday and she said, I'm the only
Muslim in my house.
20, 21, not old.
And she said, I live alone,
but now I'm gonna come and live with
my mother for whatever the reason, and my
mother is not a Muslim,
and my mother is not very happy about
me being Muslim, and there's gonna be family
coming,
and all my all her family is gonna
come for a meal for lunch. What do
I do? If I tell her I'm fasting,
it's gonna be a big issue.
See what issues we have.
Anybody in this room have this issue?
Everybody will tell you wake up for suhoor,
bite, everybody will tell you wake up for
suhoor, it's Ramadan, everybody push you to obey
Allah. What do you say to this woman?
Right? Same question yesterday in the, after the
young professional. I was like subhanallah, what are
you teaching me, Allah?
Exactly the same question.
And you know what she said? I wish
I have a place
just for this month alone
so I can worship Allah the way I
want to.
Anybody in this room have this issue?
So what do you say for the new
Muslims? Because sometimes Ramadan for them is overwhelming.
You're gonna say, don't tell her you have
to come to Tara, you have to finish
Quran,
1 by 1. Most important thing is you
fast.
Train yourself on fasting. May Allah make it
easy. You give her tips
for making fasting easier.
Do your salah on time.
If you can come to the masjid, alhamdulillah.
If you cannot come to the Masjid,
Do anything extra at your home. Make it
easy. There are no Muslims. They are not
you and me.
Salah, she doesn't know much of the Quran.
What is she gonna do in Taraweeh?
All these issues we have known. They have
no problem with that, and look at our
suya. And when I read, when I Allah
bring people to ask me this question,
I say why my salah is not the
at least salah of the special, and the
suyam of the special. Why?
I don't have any of these major obstacles,
major obstacles.
So for the new Muslims,
support them.
If you know a new Muslim, absolutely
support them. Reach out to them. Get them
to your home. Break the fast with them.
Maybe it's too much for some people find
it overwhelming to come to the masjid. You
and me is fine, but for them it's
overwhelming. What is this? I don't know what
to do. They are so worried to do
something
very opposite us.
They are so worried of doing something, saying
something that is not appropriate. Am I correct?
Absolutely. Look at you and me. Masjid is
my house.
So really, it will be very nice as
a huge new Muslim group here.
Reach out to them.
That will be one of the things you
do when you are mastuating.
Don't worry about it. Take care of that
new Muslim. Bring them to your home. Bring
her to the Masjid.
Help her get her other things for salah.
Teach her how to read al Fatihah.
So for the new Muslims, what they do,
whatever you can do, the 2 obligations you
need to do is fasting.
Unless fasting becomes they are not used to
it, it may make them sick, then that's
a different story,
but don't push them to what I like
most of what I said with you, I'm
not gonna say it to a to a
new Muslim. Unless they have been Muslim, they're
not a new anymore. If they have been
10 years and make them
kept them strong.
