			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh My dear brothers and sisters in Islam Welcome back to her
tonight. Thank you so much for continuing to be with us on this beautiful Tuesday nights we ask a
las panatela As always, to make the time that we spend here together in our scale of good deeds and
to make it a benefit for all of us. inshallah, as I just said, It is Tuesday and again until la It
is time to be joined here in the studio and hamdulillah I mean for a full hour with Chef Kareem was
eight and his him and brother medical and GLaDOS My dear brother started last week who Mashallah
beautiful series on the names and attributes of a last panel Tyler. It is my honor tonight inshallah
		
00:00:48 --> 00:01:18
			to be hosting shift Karim so that we can continue in this series in the light Allah and tonight
inshallah My dear brothers and sisters, we're going to be continuing to introduce the topic and talk
about the very famous Hadith that talks about the 99 Names of Allah let's go ahead and take a look
at this report inshallah. And then inshallah my brothers and sisters when we come back, we will
begin our discussion. This is a report by chef Bilal Philips, and he's talking about the word
Bismillah. And its meaning.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			We know the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			was to say Bismillah.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			To mention a law's name.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			And,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:49
			in fact, it was common for him to say Bismillah before doing
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:58
			anything, of importance, when we actually look through his Sunnah, we find him using Bismillah
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:16
			not necessarily Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, but just at least the portion Bismillah, in the name of a
law before doing deeds of importance. And this is the reminder for us.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			The literal translation of Bismillah
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:27
			in the name of a law, or with the name of a law
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:34
			seems incomplete. What do you mean, in the name of Allah,
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:39
			or With the name of Allah, when you say Bismillah,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			it is saying actually,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:49
			in the name of Allah, I will do this act,
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:56
			I will do it with the remembrance of Allah, I am remembering a lot
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			while doing it.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:10
			And this becomes a reminder for us that whatever we are about to do,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:17
			it is by the permission of a law that we're able to do it.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:24
			It is by the grace of Allah and His mercy, that we have had the opportunity to do it.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			And it is from his
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			blessing.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			If we do it successfully,
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:43
			and we benefit from it, all of it goes back to Allah.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:47
			So, we say before doing
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:57
			whatever we are about to do of some importance, some importance to us, we say Bismillah
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			and as we said, on other occasions,
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			where we are entering into
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:14
			areas where there is potential misguided misguidance
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			saying Bismillah
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			also helps to keep us
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			on the right path.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:31
			As a remembrance of Allah, it helps to keep us on track.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:37
			So if we go to the internet, also call the fitna net.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			If we say Bismillah
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:50
			before we turn on, or as we turn on the computer, or laptop, whatever we say Bismillah.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:59
			This is a reminder to help us stay on track. So we don't go on the computer
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:14
			Because if we know if our intention to go on the computers for something which is haram, not
pleasing to Allah, then it's difficult for us to say Bismillah and then go open up your computer.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			If there's any
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:30
			mustard seed of the mind, in our hearts, we will be very shy, it will be impossible for us to say
Bismillah and go into it. It's like saying Bismillah and taking a glass of alcohol.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:53
			So, if we find that we don't want to say Bismillah we want to go ahead and do it without saying
Bismillah then this is this is a guide for us. This is a reminder for us, that whatever activity
we're about to do is one we should not be doing.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:30
			Santa Monica rahmatullah wa barakato. My dear brothers and sisters in Assam. Welcome back to this
very interesting episode of hoteltonight. Hamlet, a lot of I mean, it's very interesting, because
we're talking about the names and attributes of a loss penalty. And it's also very interesting that
a lot of I mean, because we are honored to be joined here in the studio by sheath saramonic Polycom
Salama of La Habra cattle, for taking the time to be with us tonight. inshallah every Tuesday night,
I enjoy it. And I enjoy being with you. And Malik
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			is wonderful.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:07:20
			Last week, you guys started a series talking about the names and attributes of a las panatela such a
beautiful, and a great topic and something that is so relevant and so important for the time that we
live today. And he talked about the Hadith that says in its meaning that a las panatela has 99 names
100 minus one, whoever encompasses all of these names will enter gender that's kind of like the
general translation of the Hadith. I want to specifically begin by asking you about the idea of the
word swaha. Does it mean what I just said that you know, the person who encompasses this or does it
have a bigger meaning of some people think okay, if I memorize the names of a las panatela than I
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			have nine names, then I shall enter Jin
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:36
			illallah wa Hu la sharika Mohammedan Aveda who also
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:42
			I just want to let the viewers know the importance of this subject.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:57
			epner claim Rahim Allah has a beautiful statement he said menara for Allah Almighty for Allah bestow
effect he was highly he was smart. He had the hula hula
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:19
			whosoever, get to know Allah subhanho wa Taala. Through His names, attributes and actions, he will
love Allah, no doubt. And you know when you serve Allah subhana wa Tada. When you worship Allah
would love it makes a whole difference.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:28
			That is why you could stand in the Salah for hours because you're standing in front of our last
panel. So, this subject is a key
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:36
			to turn a lot of the rituals which we perform from being a burden to
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:46
			sense of enjoyment, enjoyment, and this is why we understand the statement of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wasallam to be left
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			behind.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:59
			Let us find comfort, comfort and peace in it in it here means the sort of the Salah oberland I go
back to your question.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:31
			You referring to Hadith ebihara of your loved one, what Hadith Mustafa canali agreed upon in both el
barrio Muslim, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam says in nilay dishearten what is in Esma? To
Allah belongs 99 names mathan illa Haider. 100 minus one men saw her the halogen, whosoever does so
you use the word in
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:56
			different ways to be because there is a big name Yes, it's just whoever guards it. Whoever memorizes
it whoever count them, he will antigen. So in the previous episode, and I would like the viewers to
know that this is a series of episodes Yes. So for them to get the first portion of the Hadith
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			we remove the misconception that the names of Allah
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:49
			are not limited to the 99 names, they are more than that. But out of the whole list of names
mentioned in the Quran mentioned in this one of the prophets Allah said and the authentic one, there
are just 99 names. If you saw for listening, if you do a search for these names, you will
intergender it will be a means for you to interject. Now, the scholars came up with four things that
you need to do to fulfill the meaning of the verb Saha in the Hadith. Number one, you must count
them, you must look for them, look for them in the Quran and this one, and bring them and, and
hamdulillah I want to let the viewers know a lot of the scholars did this work for you. There are a
		
00:10:49 --> 00:11:35
			lot of literature's out there available. And they are authentic. With these names are available.
Some of them Count 1000 some of them counted 2000 1500. There is a some variation here and there.
But start you don't have to go into the Quran and the Sunnah, and do that research, somebody did it
for you already. So this is the first step that you get your hands on these names. Number two, and
this is the most important and crucial thing that you must understand them the way that our
righteous breed assessors, the first three praised generations understood them.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:37
			How
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:48
			if a name is mentioned, or an attribute is mentioned in the Quran, and the Sunnah, I must affirm it
would be to who
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:55
			cannot deny it, you cannot deny it, and cannot give it a meaning. That is a way to deny
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:50
			that you end up this is what we call a corrupt interpretation that we will face it. When Allah
Subhana Allah says in the Quran, he had a law he felt at him, the hand of Allah is above their
hands. Now, don't say Allah has a hand. Why Why did they do this? Why they want to negate this? Why
they do they want to negate the hand from Allah. Because he said when you say hands so the first
thing that springs out in your mind is what the hand of what the human hands of the human hand No,
listen, listen, we understand the names and the attributes of Allah under an umbrella is called what
laser catenacci shade. No one is like into Allah subhanho wa Taala. So, yes, we affirm the hand. We
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			do not negate it.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:13:03
			The people who did not want to negate it, negate Jani, Neff, be they are called wakulla. They negate
they dismiss the fact that Allah has a hand.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:34
			But again, we think positive about our brothers Mashallah because they are afraid that they're going
to end up liking a lot to the creative being. We tell them thank you very much. We're not liking
Allah, and understanding the hand in a way that suits His Majesty. No one is like him somehow no
hotel. So we don't like his hand to the hand of the created. This is number one. Number two, we cut
off any hope that I can figure out the nature or the reality of Allah, his hand
		
00:13:36 --> 00:14:23
			and calf and the key for that I cannot reach regardless of what you visualize, Allah has above that
Subhana Allah is above that. So number one, we affirm, you affirm the attribute, you affirm the
name, as long as it is mentioned in the Quran. And in this one, you do not negate it, or you try to
miss interpret the the attribute to another hidden meaning, like they said, The hand is the power of
the power of Allah. That's a mis interpretation. And that will fast it why because the hand is a
hand but now it is not like the hands of the human. So you must affirm I don't want to confuse the
viewers, we must affirm the name we must affirm the attribute, we do not like in Allah subhana wa
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:46
			Taala to the created being and we cut off any hope that we can find out how the Divine Essence of
Allah is, how his names are, how his actions are, we cut off any hope because we do not have access
to that knowledge. Look at this letter K from LA Illallah.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:52
			The only one who knows how Allah is Allah is Allah Subhana Allah.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:15:00
			And we share with the viewers the statement of Mr. Malik Rahim Allah when somebody entered into them
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:25
			And asked him a nomadic Estella Allah. What do you mean by Savalas? Listen? He said to him, at least
you were maloom. What does it mean? And what did the mathematic mean? The word the verb stoer, for
an Arabic speaking is known, Allah was staccato, he rose and he said, that's what it means. And he
man will be he was, I must believe that Allah who rose above the Throne,
		
00:15:26 --> 00:16:00
			because it's mentioned were in the Quran, otherwise you'd be belying what a man rather large.
Estella? Yes, you would be belying the Quran. So I you must believe in it. And case module how he
did it is unknown to me to us. Because I don't have access to that knowledge. I have not seen Allah
Subhana. Allah informed, informed me that he rose above the throne in that manner, whatsoever and
will be asking about it is trying to figure out how Allah rose above the throne is an innovation.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:02
			Take them out of the machine.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:50
			So this is number two. Of course, there is a huge subject that we can but I want to still sum up the
answer to your question here. So step number two is understanding the words the names and the
attributes of Allah, the way that our righteous predecessors, under the companions of the Prophet
read the same verse or man or alarm system. They never asked the Prophet How did he rose above the
floor? They never have you ever come in? It's an innovation. Have you ever come across a hadith that
Sahabi Abu Bakr Omar of man went to Rasulullah saw Solomon, how did he do this? Because they know
they know. Number three, and this is the most important piece, brothers and every name has a
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			servitude
		
00:16:52 --> 00:17:11
			is smooth law has Samia, the name of Allah subhanho wa Taala, the old here has a meaning. What does
it mean in relation relevant to you relevant to our lives? Morocco has not easy. What does it mean
is semia mean that hears everything that you say?
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:21
			Now, if you want to apply the name of Allah all here in your life, if you want to do a Sahaja truly,
should you lie?
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			Should you backbite should you gossip?
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:33
			You should speak what good words you should because Allah hears you, Allah hears you. And
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:41
			Subhan Allah is Allah Allah says the name of Allah, the old seer. He sees you.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:59
			Now when you like chief Bilal, Dr. Philips in his beautiful report what he said in that beautiful
report, that you go inside the room and you and you turn on the computer and you want to watch a bad
movie, just say Bismillah just remember that Allah is watching, are you going to do it?
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:12
			every name has a servitude, for you to implement. So you must fulfill that servitude. Meaning when
you say servitude, meaning we work through the link
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:32
			somehow, some of the names have to do with magnifying Allah Al Jabbar limited and so forth. Number
four and the last one that you call upon Allah subhana wa Taala with these names, and this is a
command in the Quran. Wali let him smell olho snap
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:47
			to Allah belongs the Most Beautiful Names call upon Allah subhanaw taala through these names now for
you to make up to use the right name for what you're asking. You should know what the money means if
you're poor and needing wealth, your honey
		
00:18:48 --> 00:19:31
			poor your wealth poor your riches above above me. You're asking for Ramayana, man of harmony, Yahoo
and fiddly you understand to use the name which is relevant to that request which you made that you
want to make upon law. So those are the four things four things in order to unrevealed and fulfill
the idea of a song now to to know the names right to look for them and to know them. I'm just
reviewing for myself and the viewers. The second thing is to affirm the names of Allah subhanaw
taala affirm that they exist. The third thing is to worship Allah subhanaw taala through these
names, and the fourth thing is to make dua to him and ask him through using these names. Like Okay,
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:39
			welcome official. We have a phone call from sister Ashley from the United States, I believe from
Colorado. I said, Amara welcome sister.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			Hello, sister Ashley, thank you for being with us here tonight.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			Thank you for having me.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			Colorado Springs
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			we have in the studio with us. Mm.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			Was it tonight? Yeah.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			Yeah, sister Ashley.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:10
			Yes, I'm here. Can you hear us?
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:27
			Oh, I can hear you now. Okay. Something happened I should share with the with the viewers last
night. Sister Ashley, can you let the viewers know? How did we conclude? For you to be in the air
with us tonight? What happened since
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:34
			the email that you sent to me? Can you let them know what happened? I think they they would rather
hear this from you.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:40
			I asked for your help and guidance and converting to Islam.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:21:05
			You sent an email last night she sent an email to me last night. And I requested her Skype name,
address, and we got in touch. And I actually spoke with her 3am my time this morning for almost
maybe 40 minutes, 30 minutes, if I'm not mistaken. And Alhamdulillah she actually took her Shahada
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:24
			with me this morning. And then she raised the idea because she she lives in a very remote area in
Colorado. You know, I live in Denver for a long time. She lives almost 35 minutes from Colorado
Springs. It's a very remote area, no Muslims around her.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:41
			And she wanted to share that with the rest of her friends and, and her husband who is so interested
in Islam, we can't wait also inshallah to take us further. So I told her, why don't you come and be
here tonight? And here she is. So, sister Ashley, are you there?
		
00:21:43 --> 00:22:01
			Yeah, I'm here. So can you share with the viewers? How did you come tonight to be in the air and
then we'll take your Shahada with with the rest of the viewers. Go ahead. Can you just share your
experience in a couple of minutes? And how did you? Yeah, go ahead.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:08
			I am, you know, as I've told you, in our conversation that
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:39
			for many years, and being a Christian, there was something missing, I just whether it was
spiritually or within myself, and I started researching Islam, my husband, spent some time overseas
in the Middle East and became very close with a family there that would pray with him. And he got
very excited about prayer and spirituality for the first time in his entire life, which was an
inspiration to me.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			And
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			he, when he came home,
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:48
			it was something that we looked into together.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:56
			Something that we wanted to experience together, but unfortunately, where we live, we didn't have
anybody around to guide us.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:03
			And I was online, going through anything and everything I could and I came across
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			you online.
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:08
			Sorry, I and
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:17
			I sent you an email asking for your help, you know, help me understand or have a better
understanding of
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:23
			how to how to convert how to be a Muslim how to,
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:30
			you know, get that relationship with God be one with God that I want so badly.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:35
			And after talking to you at great lengths, and
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:48
			you explaining things for me, and in a way that I could understand that made sense. It made sense
why I was feeling empty the way I was and why
		
00:23:50 --> 00:24:02
			Islam was calling me and why I feel Islam as the right choice for me. You know, there's there's a
reason for everything. And a lot has brought me through Islam, and
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			I have embraced it.
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:14
			So, you know, something that I shared with you last night, actually this morning, my time which is
last night us time
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:25
			that this is one of the happiest moments of our life of someone who you know who calls to Allah
subhanho wa Taala pretends to be one.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:56
			Why? because of two reasons. Because when someone accepts Islam right away, you're so special in the
sight of Allah subhanaw taala. Because Allah Subhana Allah Allah will never guide someone unless he
deserves guidance. And that statement was shared with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
regarding his uncle Abu Talib, when he was saddened by the fact that his uncle
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			would not accept the kalama from him.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:10
			At the date of death, Allah Subhana Allah Allah Glorified and Exalted is making it crystal clear to
him in nicoleta demon that you do not guide whom you want.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:58
			You only show them the way we, I show you the way. But we don't guide you, no one guides anybody,
but the one who creates the guidance in the hearts of people, is the creator of these hearts. And
Allah Subhana Allah is the one who created the acceptance of this guidance in your hearts. And
because of the fact that you're so special. Look at the verse in Nicoletta demon, that you do not
guide whom you please whom you will, whether kinilaw hyah, demon Yeshua, but Allah subhanaw taala,
Glorified and Exalted guides whom He will look at the tail of the verse, a lot of us do not pay
attention at the end of the verse, who are who were our alarm bells Bill moved in. And he knows
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:27
			quite well, who deserves to be guided. And and that is why you're so special tonight, sister Ashley,
and, and and we're honored and blessed by the fact that you're calling. And you know, since you
spoke to me about your husband, I have been making a lot of publications. That one day also, we will
take his Shahada because of the way that you spoke about him last night and how he found
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:32
			Allah when he was sent on a mission in the Middle East.
		
00:26:33 --> 00:27:02
			With your permission, brother Osama, if we can take your Shahada, and then we can carry on from
there. So are you you? Would you like can I do that too? Of course, please. All right. So are you
ready? Sister Ashley, can you repeat I know you will. On this last night I'll handle on Skype. But
now. Possibly millions of people are watching. And you want to share this with your husband to begin
with. I think he's so excited about it. I heard from you and with your friends in Dearborn,
Dearborn, Michigan.
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:50
			And I want to let the viewers know, I didn't convert the sister brothers. The sister went through a
lot of experiences a lot of Muslims. Don't you dare assume that a non Muslim meets a Muslim at one
time and they want to convert that's untrue. And the last stage in the process, but she met her
friends in school she she met her friends in colleges. And and that's why it's a mistake to ask
anybody. How many people did you convert? We don't convert nobody is she just happened to come
across me at the end of her journey. And Alhamdulillah Delica Lula he udma This is the bounty of
Allah, Allah bestows it upon whom He wills Alhamdulillah for before the law by the grace of Allah
		
00:27:50 --> 00:28:04
			subhanho wa Taala she will share this beautiful piece of news with the rest of her family members
and the rest of her friends throughout her life. So can you repeat after me what we repeated last
night on Skype. Are you ready?
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:11
			Yes, I'm going to go very slow like I did. Ash. How do
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:16
			I how do I learn? ilaha
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:21
			illa ha Illa Allah?
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:25
			is Allah well eyeshadow.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:29
			And
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32
			enough Mohammedan
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:37
			in Canada, Rasulullah
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:39
			Rasool Allah.
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:44
			Let's do this in English, the meanings in English I bear witness.
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:48
			I bear witness that there is no deity,
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:54
			that there is no deity worthy of my submission and worship.
		
00:28:55 --> 00:29:00
			worthy of my submission and worship except Allah.
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:05
			except Allah, Glorified and Exalted.
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:11
			reside and exalted, and I be a witness.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:15
			And I bear witness, that Muhammad
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19
			that Muhammad, peace be upon him.
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:24
			Is the upon him is the Messenger of Allah.
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:31
			Is the Messenger of Allah and Prophet Jesus peace be upon him?
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:37
			And Prophet Jesus peace be upon him is the Messenger of Allah?
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:56
			Is the Messenger of Allah, Allahu Akbar, Allah Whoa, this is so beautiful. Remember the request that
I made from you last night? One one favor? Can you can you repeat it for me, please? one request,
please. I you're going to remember that. Can you remind me what I asked you
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:06
			My goodness, I asked, I asked you to make dua for someone who's so special to me.
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:15
			Do I mean prayers or invocation for someone who's so special for me? You remember who it is?
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:21
			Yes, you're your daughter? Yes. Please don't forget that.
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:33
			Sister Ashley. My name is Sam, I'm the presenter of the program. I want to ask you, how do you feel
right now after you've taken your Shahada after you've taken the declaration of faith?
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:39
			Whole? Does that make sense?
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:43
			Yep, makes a lot of sense. You know, it feels right.
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:58
			What was the turning point? In the conversation last night when you were talking to Mm hmm. Was that
made you feel that? This is what feels right, this is the right decision. This is what makes sense.
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			You know, I hit a turning point.
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:12
			Some time ago, I guess it was just a matter of talking to somebody that
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:38
			could mentor me or, or help me to, you know, somebody to relate to, as he previously mentioned,
that, there's, I'm nowhere near anybody that I can go to and ask for advice or guidance in that. So
everything I've done has been on the internet, or, you know, what teachings I get in college, you
know, in philosophy and whatnot. And
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:43
			just a matter of having somebody that I can actually talk to now
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:58
			and say, Hey, what is this mean? Or, Hey, can you help me with this? Or should I do that? Or, you
know, this is why or any any question I may have. Having that availability is what really turned the
page for me.
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:06
			And that's, you know, I guess I'm ready, I want to do this, I just need help.
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:13
			Excellent, as the name Kareem said, Really, he was kind of the last part of that.
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:40
			He was kind of the last chain that you needed. Let me ask you. There are some people out there who
may be in the same situation that you're in, they've researched Islam, they feel it's right. They
know it's right in their hearts and using their minds as well. But maybe you're they're kind of just
like hanging on to their old habits or their old beliefs, and they don't kind of know how to get out
of it. What message do you have for people who are facing these types of obstacles?
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:44
			You know, the
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:52
			talks about this, or thought about this a lot today. And the best advice I can give on that is
		
00:32:54 --> 00:33:04
			what is being put in or on your heart, do whatever it is you need to do, whether going online or
going to a neighboring city,
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:15
			you know, to make the connections with the people to help you with this. Because it's not going to
be a burden on your heart for no reason.
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:20
			You're not going to feel that emptiness, if it's not there.
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:26
			You know, and the best advice I can give is, is don't stop.
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:42
			You know, it, you know, look in nooks and crannies. You know, lift up the rugs, you know, move
rocks, if you have to define that one person you need to find to talk to you. In the last two days,
I've emailed probably more people online
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:46
			as I got to this precipice and was ready to make this decision.
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:50
			And that's, that's what you have to do.
		
00:33:52 --> 00:34:26
			Thank you so much this Ashley for being with us. And this is an amazing experience for myself for
sure. karimova zabe, I'm sure also for you and for the rest of our viewers who are watching tonight,
we hope and she'll love it. You stay in touch with us. We wish you the best. And welcome to the
family of Islam, the family of more than 1.5 billion people as it stands today. Thank you. I just
wanna say what something so quickly that the community members in and Denver directo hate will be in
touch with you. You know, they will send you some literature.
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:43
			I have emailed them today, the organization. I'm hitting in Denver, Colorado. It's called the house
of monotheism data hit inshallah they will be in touch with you through email on the
		
00:34:45 --> 00:35:00
			screen. What kind of message do you have for people out there who are thinking about the deen of
Islam maybe who are going through a similar experience as sister a sister Ashley was going through.
You know until yesterday. I'll tell you what my advices my advice
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:16
			Have them email chef Kareem or talk to him via Skype. Well, any students of knowledge inshallah he
will do the same job but I just want to say that it's a very easy it's a very uneasy, very difficult
decision
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:25
			to make that call. And there is a hadith sermon in Muslim dilemma Mohamad Hadith sabara ignore
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:34
			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says Allah lesson in Shay Aparna cardellini. And maybe
octopi
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:44
			is shaitan. Satan sits in the way of the son of Adam and his way to do goodness, any goodness
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:57
			while the upper then Allah home serata kalamaki Mata Ki the Quran and I will be built in the
straight path to hinder them to be an obstacle.
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:03
			Look at the first obstacle cardella who fear political Islam?
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:14
			The first door is the door of entering into Islam entering into submission. Look what shaitan is
going to say to you are to see
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:18
			are you going to become a Muslim? Whatever rodina
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:26
			and you leave your religion where Dina Abby, and the religion of your father, whatever Arabic
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:32
			and your ancestors, here you are American.
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:40
			These guys are from the wilderness from the desert. It's a third world, you leave that and you
follow that.
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:50
			When you disobey upon this one, you're a hero, upon the fact that you're the hero. In the sense
Allah loves you.
		
00:36:52 --> 00:37:12
			And you're special, like I said a moment ago, that only those whom Allah knows that they deserve
guidance, he will strengthen their hearts, that they would make that difficult step. A lot of times
or some a lot of times in America.
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:24
			A brother would come to me in chief, I have that coworker. When I speak to him about God about
Allah. He condones everything that I say.
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:38
			He condones, he says it's true. There is only one God. And He is the Creator. Yes. And he is the
Sustainer. Yes. And he is the provider. Yes. And there is no one is like him. Yes. He condones all
of this. Then I tell him I
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:43
			asked him to come to the masjid to declare his Islam.
		
00:37:45 --> 00:38:23
			asked him to come to the masjid to declare his name. He would go the next day. Okay, would you like
to come to the shave? Deal? No, no, no, no, no. It's in my heart. It's my heart. That is why the
conditions of La ilaha illa Allah. Allah Al Malia Greenwald kaaboo? What does lemo Look at this, the
conditions for lighting. A lot of us read that Hadith whoever says that Allah will enter gender. But
we don't realize like what they said that the key to gender is La la la la true, but every key has
worked to riches, he called it while you quickly move to Malta and
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:46
			now that he is of La ilaha illAllah, under the conditions that you must know it for Allah, Allah,
Allah, Allah, Allah, and the names and attributes is the introduction to this. That knowledge must
lead to certainty. Like she spoke, I was certain that Islam is the way this is the only Pure
religion that represents monotheism in the face of this earth.
		
00:38:47 --> 00:39:31
			Listen, Christians, they believe in a God, but the concept of God is distorted. They believe that
God's shared his divinity, with the creative being the creative beings with Jesus in particular.
That's why it's okay to worship Jesus. But comes in the third condition, which is what I'll call the
acceptance that you come in the air like this, not in a private closed chat room, that alone level
that the highest level and is it a community and you stand out there and you say, a shadow Allah,
Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Muhammad Rasul Allah then comes in the fourth condition, which is
compliance in the holy yet compliance that is suddenly suddenly that is a submission submission. And
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:57
			then besides flossing, Mama had that when he said, the idea of declaring that's what the word she
had the copyright right eyeshadow, I can assure her that you're making a declaration, a public
declaration that I'm a Muslim and boulia LLP Tabitha Allah. Allah Kelly met in Selma in Benin, our
Bina Elena Buddha illallah wa sahbihi wa Tasha buena Baba, Baba mendola
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59
			Oh people
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:12
			Come to a common ground What was your one Ella and we do not take creative beings as Gods beside him
for into our low if they turn away from you for Hulu say what a shadow
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:17
			declare Vietnam Muslim that we are Muslims and almost
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:19
			that's what it is
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:22
			I think
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:28
			something that I always share with with the with the diverts
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:34
			is watch it the first couple of years
		
00:40:35 --> 00:41:02
			you get tested so much. Why? Because I go back to Hades suburb never forget about the shape on shape
First, the first obstacle at the door and now she accepted Islam shape and he's gonna leave her no
probably work harder. No, no, look, look look look how the Prophet said it for our Sahaba Aslam then
he would disobey shaitan and he becomes a Muslim, then would he leave him alone No, through maka de
la houfy.
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:12
			Then he would sit in his way in the path of what he means what? Change now she's probably going to
have to delete some of the
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:33
			friends, some of the old friends I don't know if she has to do this or not Allah knows best. But any
revert, you're going to have to find the new zone that nourishes and helps your faith increases your
faith. So now you must walk migrate. He's gonna say to you as to how
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:37
			are you going to migrate? Whatever the cover semuc

			shadow is, and you leave your hometown and you're This is part of the Hadeeth Yes, it's one of the
you know, I live in South Korea, you know, in the countryside. You know how many places I've been
to? You know, I sometimes will lie when I'm overseas. When I wake up. I have to take like a minute
or two and just where am I? Oh, to reflect what city I'm in? What I'm doing here, you know, just
when you wake up from asleep, I know the feeling that's kind of
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:26
			over but look at this one place. Yeah, one place that I learned to go back to always even so we get
beaten up there sometimes. You know, is my my village Yes. Why? You just feel a sense of home
because it's basically a worry. Because this is the first home and she thought
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:48
			the car was a shoo shoo shoo. We're in Mr. method will mohair GDK method will philosopher pool. What
does he mean? Look at this, the one who is a stranger in a hurry. When you travel outside? You're a
stranger. You're limited? Yes. You know, like a cow that you wanted to eat from a certain place in
and of grass. So what do you do?
		
00:42:49 --> 00:43:07
			You feel a farmer, you know what I'm doing? You bought something called what? You know, a piece of
food in the ground, and you tie the rope. So you only allow to walk in that area. That's a stranger
is like this tool when you're traveling and you don't know the town. And at the same time with all
the visa requirements, right?
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:29
			Come on, man, you're free here in your area, and you get to do what you want to do. So it's, you
know, it may be better for you to make a shout out to another area. That may not be your hometown,
but it may be a place that is better for you slim. Right. So we have to end in here tonight because
we are you kidding me? Yeah, the show's over. The program is over for tonight. You're kidding me.

into one of the first names of Allah. But thank you so much tonight for sharing the four things that
