As-salamu alaykum everybody.
Thank you for being here.
This is amazing, right?
How many people were here yesterday for our
shahada?
Masha'Allah.
You know, when it rains it pours.
Alhamdulillah, we're very grateful for this type of
blessed rain.
We have Sister Victoria here, who alhamdulillah has
been in communication with some of the people
here at the masjid.
And she's embarking on this wonderful journey of
studying Islam.
She's right here, masha'Allah.
I just saw you.
Also coming yesterday to take shahada.
So this is a journey, right?
We begin this beautiful process.
All of us are, we're lifelong learners.
So you're at the start of this, but
we're here to support you, insha'Allah.
And so you came here with the intention
to openly testify your faith in front of,
insha'Allah, your new family.
Insha'Allah, your new family of Muslim sisters.
So the process, as I quickly explained to
you, is very simple.
I will repeat the Arabic words, which is
just a simple phrase.
And I'll go word by word, and you
will repeat with me.
We'll say this three times, and then I'll
explain to you the meaning in English.
So it's clear for you exactly what you
just said.
Or I can do the English first, whatever
you're comfortable.
And then that's it.
At that point, you are confirmed as a
believer in front of the community, and you
are now Muslim.
And we'll, insha'Allah, further the education after
that with you.
Insha'Allah.
So the first part begins.
I bear witness that there is no god
but Allah.
And I bear witness that Muhammad is
the Messenger of Allah.
I bear witness
that there is no god but Allah.
And I bear witness that Muhammad is
the Messenger of Allah.
I bear witness that there is no god
but Allah.
And I bear witness that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah.
Insha'Allah.
Okay, so you just said in English.
I bear witness that there is no god
except God.
And that Muhammad is His last and final
Messenger.
Excellent.
Welcome to the faith.
We are so happy for you.
Thank you for honoring us to do this
with the community, insha'Allah.
As I mentioned, this is your new family,
and we are here for you to answer
any questions you have, to be a support
system for you.
Alhamdulillah.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I appreciate your all coming.
I sort of got the impression that you
weren't going to be here, but...
I rushed over.
I appreciate that.
Thank you so much for all of you
coming.
Thank you.
Now, be prepared for a lot of hugs.
I hope you're hungry.
Welcome.
Bring on the hugs.
Thank you so much.
