Mufti Menk – Interested in Islam – Hear Me Out

			I've already mentioned the pillars of Islam and
		

			iman.
		

			In fact,
		

			iman includes also to believe that good and
		

			bad fate comes from the Almighty.
		

			Good and bad fate. When something good happens,
		

			I relate it to the Almighty. I said
		

			that. When something bad happens, I relate it
		

			to the almighty. He it was destined, but
		

			I don't become depressed about it. I continue,
		

			and I say, look good and bad fate
		

			comes from the Almighty. There's deeper explanation to
		

			it. But
		

			my brothers and sisters, there is a last
		

			day
		

			when we will be returning to Allah. Before
		

			we return to him,
		

			in a manner that he is displeased with
		

			us, we can make him by the will
		

			of Allah. By his own will, we can
		

			make him
		

			pleased with us if we keep trying.
		

			So if someone is not a Muslim and
		

			they want to enter the fold of Islam,
		

			they need to declare. Just a declaration.
		

			Believe it in the heart and start learning
		

			and work towards it. What is it?
		

			I bear witness
		

			that there is none worthy of worship besides
		

			Allah. That's what you need to say. And
		

			I bear witness that Muhammad, peace be upon
		

			him, is the final messenger of Allah.
		

			That's what you need to say. Those two
		

			sentences
		

			make you a Muslim.
		

			Ashhaduallaaillahaillalla.
		

			I bear witness there is none worthy of
		

			worship besides Allah. Waashhaduanna
		

			Muhammadan
		

			Rasulullah.
		

			And I bear witness that Muhammad, peace be
		

			upon him, is the messenger of Allah, the
		

			final messenger of Allah. That's the crux. Once
		

			you declare that, you're a Muslim.
		

			If you believe it in your heart, you're
		

			a Muslim. When you start working towards it,
		

			you're a Muslim.
		

			Subhanallah. And all the goodness that we've mentioned
		

			should become
		

			yours.
