			Many people are sending emails, messages in person, they see you I want to be Muslim. What do I do?
What is the procedure? The procedure is minor, Ibrahim alayhi salam, what did he say he he entered
the fold of submission completely by declaring, I face my face to the one who made me and the
heavens and the earth alone. And I will never render an act of worship for anyone or anything
besides him that was entering the fold of faith submission. So he said, What just what he didn't let
the Fatah somewhat uneven, warmer and aminal Mushrikeen. That's his declaration of faith. A shadow
Allah Ilaha illa Allah,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:01:22
			I bet witness that there is none worthy of any act of worship, be it big or small, besides the one
who made me That's faith. No religion can have a debate this because the one who made me is the only
one who I can put my head on the ground and say Oh, you who made me You are the greatest, you are
the highest. Oh you who gives me sustains me controls everything who kills me who does whatever he
wants with me, you are the highest Subhana BL Allah we repeat that statement. So many times a day,
every time we are in frustration Subhan Allah SubhanAllah 34 times minimum a day. Because why you
are making units of prayer. And you are going down in frustration twice for every unit. You see.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:02:02
			May Allah grant us guidance. What a powerful statement. When you want to enter the fold of Islam or
anyone else around you wants to enter Islam and the reason I have to say this, you will have someone
come to you, I want to be Muslim. Be careful, don't shun them. Don't shun them, talk to them, bring
them, ask them if they know the pillars of faith. Number one, I only want to worship my maker and my
maker alone. Number two, I bear witness that Muhammad peace be upon him is a messenger and the
Prophet of Allah. You know, when some people of other faiths say this person is a prophet and the
prophet in our country, they same prophet, they talking of a religious man who can prophesize a few
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:40
			things. They're not talking of a prophet of Allah, who actually is an OB, who is a messenger who
came with Revelation, they're not talking about that. We are talking of another level altogether
when we say Nabhi we are talking of Jesus may peace be upon him Abraham May peace be upon him, Moses
May peace be upon him, Aaron May peace be upon him, Solomon May peace be upon him, David May peace
be upon him, Joseph May peace be upon him, Jacob May peace be upon him, and so on. John May peace be
upon him, and the Prophet Muhammad May peace be upon them all, I use the English terminology, just
for those of other faiths to realize and recognize, we use Arabic, but these names are the same.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:03:20
			These are the same people. They all we revere them, we respect them, we honor them, we give them the
highest ranking ever. No one can rank higher than the prophets of Allah. So when you bear witness
that Muhammad peace be upon him is the final messenger of Allah and you bear witness that you are
only going to worship the one who made you already you're a Muslim, your entry level you've come in
that statement, the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him says, It is so heavy in the scale of good
deeds, that on the Day of Judgment, if you have 99 files full of bad deeds, each file from the east
to the west, and on the other hand, you have one time that statement of I bear witness there is none
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:32
			worthy of worship besides Allah and that Muhammad peace be upon him is his messenger that is heavier
than all of those in the eyes of Allah for as long as you are genuine. May Allah grant us acceptance
even once
