00:00:00--> 00:00:00

New Muslims,

00:00:01--> 00:00:03

you Allah what questions I got this week.

00:00:04--> 00:00:06

Wallah, I say what Allah is gonna ask

00:00:06--> 00:00:06

me.

00:00:07--> 00:00:08

Young woman came to me

00:00:09--> 00:00:11

after Saturday and she said, I'm the only

00:00:11--> 00:00:13

Muslim in my house.

00:00:15--> 00:00:16

20, 21, not old.

00:00:17--> 00:00:18

And she said, I live alone,

00:00:19--> 00:00:20

but now I'm gonna come and live with

00:00:20--> 00:00:23

my mother for whatever the reason, and my

00:00:23--> 00:00:25

mother is not a Muslim,

00:00:25--> 00:00:27

and my mother is not very happy about

00:00:27--> 00:00:29

me being Muslim, and there's gonna be family

00:00:29--> 00:00:29

coming,

00:00:30--> 00:00:32

and all my all her family is gonna

00:00:32--> 00:00:34

come for a meal for lunch. What do

00:00:34--> 00:00:36

I do? If I tell her I'm fasting,

00:00:36--> 00:00:37

it's gonna be a big issue.

00:00:38--> 00:00:40

See what issues we have.

00:00:42--> 00:00:43

Anybody in this room have this issue?

00:00:44--> 00:00:47

Everybody will tell you wake up for suhoor,

00:00:48--> 00:00:50

bite, everybody will tell you wake up for

00:00:50--> 00:00:52

suhoor, it's Ramadan, everybody push you to obey

00:00:52--> 00:00:54

Allah. What do you say to this woman?

00:00:56--> 00:00:59

Right? Same question yesterday in the, after the

00:00:59--> 00:01:02

young professional. I was like subhanallah, what are

00:01:02--> 00:01:03

you teaching me, Allah?

00:01:03--> 00:01:05

Exactly the same question.

00:01:06--> 00:01:07

And you know what she said? I wish

00:01:07--> 00:01:08

I have a place

00:01:09--> 00:01:11

just for this month alone

00:01:11--> 00:01:13

so I can worship Allah the way I

00:01:13--> 00:01:14

want to.

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

Anybody in this room have this issue?

00:01:19--> 00:01:20

So what do you say for the new

00:01:20--> 00:01:23

Muslims? Because sometimes Ramadan for them is overwhelming.

00:01:24--> 00:01:26

You're gonna say, don't tell her you have

00:01:26--> 00:01:27

to come to Tara, you have to finish

00:01:27--> 00:01:28

Quran,

00:01:28--> 00:01:31

1 by 1. Most important thing is you

00:01:31--> 00:01:32

fast.

00:01:32--> 00:01:35

Train yourself on fasting. May Allah make it

00:01:35--> 00:01:36

easy. You give her tips

00:01:38--> 00:01:40

for making fasting easier.

00:01:40--> 00:01:42

Do your salah on time.

00:01:42--> 00:01:44

If you can come to the masjid, alhamdulillah.

00:01:45--> 00:01:46

If you cannot come to the Masjid,

00:01:47--> 00:01:49

Do anything extra at your home. Make it

00:01:49--> 00:01:51

easy. There are no Muslims. They are not

00:01:51--> 00:01:52

you and me.

00:01:53--> 00:01:55

Salah, she doesn't know much of the Quran.

00:01:55--> 00:01:56

What is she gonna do in Taraweeh?

00:01:57--> 00:01:59

All these issues we have known. They have

00:01:59--> 00:02:01

no problem with that, and look at our

00:02:01--> 00:02:03

suya. And when I read, when I Allah

00:02:03--> 00:02:06

bring people to ask me this question,

00:02:06--> 00:02:08

I say why my salah is not the

00:02:09--> 00:02:11

at least salah of the special, and the

00:02:11--> 00:02:12

suyam of the special. Why?

00:02:13--> 00:02:16

I don't have any of these major obstacles,

00:02:17--> 00:02:18

major obstacles.

00:02:19--> 00:02:20

So for the new Muslims,

00:02:20--> 00:02:21

support them.

00:02:22--> 00:02:24

If you know a new Muslim, absolutely

00:02:25--> 00:02:27

support them. Reach out to them. Get them

00:02:27--> 00:02:30

to your home. Break the fast with them.

00:02:30--> 00:02:32

Maybe it's too much for some people find

00:02:32--> 00:02:35

it overwhelming to come to the masjid. You

00:02:35--> 00:02:37

and me is fine, but for them it's

00:02:37--> 00:02:39

overwhelming. What is this? I don't know what

00:02:39--> 00:02:41

to do. They are so worried to do

00:02:41--> 00:02:41

something

00:02:42--> 00:02:43

very opposite us.

00:02:44--> 00:02:46

They are so worried of doing something, saying

00:02:46--> 00:02:49

something that is not appropriate. Am I correct?

00:02:49--> 00:02:52

Absolutely. Look at you and me. Masjid is

00:02:52--> 00:02:52

my house.

00:02:53--> 00:02:55

So really, it will be very nice as

00:02:55--> 00:02:57

a huge new Muslim group here.

00:02:57--> 00:02:59

Reach out to them.

00:03:00--> 00:03:01

That will be one of the things you

00:03:01--> 00:03:02

do when you are mastuating.

00:03:03--> 00:03:04

Don't worry about it. Take care of that

00:03:04--> 00:03:07

new Muslim. Bring them to your home. Bring

00:03:07--> 00:03:08

her to the Masjid.

00:03:08--> 00:03:11

Help her get her other things for salah.

00:03:11--> 00:03:13

Teach her how to read al Fatihah.

00:03:14--> 00:03:16

So for the new Muslims, what they do,

00:03:16--> 00:03:19

whatever you can do, the 2 obligations you

00:03:19--> 00:03:20

need to do is fasting.

00:03:22--> 00:03:24

Unless fasting becomes they are not used to

00:03:24--> 00:03:27

it, it may make them sick, then that's

00:03:27--> 00:03:28

a different story,

00:03:28--> 00:03:31

but don't push them to what I like

00:03:31--> 00:03:32

most of what I said with you, I'm

00:03:32--> 00:03:34

not gonna say it to a to a

00:03:34--> 00:03:36

new Muslim. Unless they have been Muslim, they're

00:03:36--> 00:03:38

not a new anymore. If they have been

00:03:38--> 00:03:39

kept them strong.

00:03:38--> 00:03:39

kept them strong.
