			Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem, wa sallallahu ala
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			hadi Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:04
			salam ajma'in.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			We will start inshallah.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			I never like to delay a shahada.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			As soon as someone's ready to take the
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			shahada, we're ready to give it inshallah.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			So we're going to then follow up with
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			the Quran and the dhikr that we normally
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			do in our halaqah.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			But first we will get to meet Cynthia.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:19
			Welcome.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:21
			How are you?
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			I'm good.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			Thank you for asking.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			Thank you for everybody being here.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:28
			Thank you.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			It's so wonderful to meet you.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			You were telling me that you drive all
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			around the Bay Area.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			Yes.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			Where are you from exactly?
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			I'm right now in Los Banos, California.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			So that's a ways away.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			Yeah.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			But, you know, I just wanted to be
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:47
			here.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			Wow.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:48
			So I'm here.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			What an honor for us.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			Really, I'm humbled.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			Alhamdulillah that you chose here in our halaqah
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			on this beautiful gathering of sisters to witness
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			your shahada.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:00:59
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			If it's okay, Cynthia, to ask you just
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			very briefly to share with us a little
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			bit about yourself and your journey.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			It's always a beautiful thing.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			Whatever you're comfortable in sharing for the sisters
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			to kind of hear and get to know
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			who you are.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			Well, my name is Cynthia.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:19
			I'm a mother of three boys.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			They're adult men now.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:30
			I'm going through divorce after 25 years of
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:30
			marriage.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			It's been separated for a year.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:42
			Between that time and now, I've been looking
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			into Islam.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:49
			And my heart just, it's been pulled towards
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:49
			it.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			And every little baby step I take, it
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			just, it's reaffirmed.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			And I understand there's a lot for me
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			to learn.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:05
			I'm a Nubian baby, but, and I know
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:09
			it's a lot of information, but it just
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			doesn't feel hard.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			Mashallah.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			The step I take, it feels like, almost
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			like if I take a step, I get
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			pulled forward.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			So, like I was telling other sisters, my
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			life right now doesn't look too good on
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:28
			paper.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:33
			But inside, I just have never felt this
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			good.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			I've never felt this strong.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			Even when I'm crying, there's a strength behind
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			my cries.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			Like, it's not like, oh my gosh, like
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			super dire, you know.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			There's like, it's just because I feel like
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			I'm human, so I need to get my
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			cries out.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			But I feel strong.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			It's amazing to me that as what you
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			described, whether you at this moment may or
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			may not already know, you literally described a
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			hadith of the Prophet ﷺ where he's telling
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			us about taking a step towards God.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			And that if you were to take a
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:15
			step towards God, God takes more towards you.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			And if you were to go to Him
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			walking, He comes to you at speed.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			And you just, your description of like, even
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:26
			the baby steps, then just like, pulled forward.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			And that just reminded me so much of
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			exactly the wording of that hadith of Prophet
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			ﷺ.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			What a beautiful thing.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			May Allah ﷻ bless this journey of yours
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			and allow it to be one that is
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			filled with light and healing.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			And I truly, I truly believe in Allah.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			And I just, there's a comfort in it.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			I have no doubt.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:47
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:48
			No doubt.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:49
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			Well, I'm sure there's so much more to
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			ask you and to talk about.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			I am, for one, really love to, would
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:02
			love to proceed with the shahadah, the testification
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			of faith.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			And the way I do this is, you
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			know, I'll say the Arabic little by little.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			And then we'll say the English.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			And then I'm going to ask the entire
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			audience, including those who are online, to also
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			renew your faith.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			This is something I personally do.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			I don't know, other people do their shahadahs
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:18
			differently.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			But I personally like to do this because
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			then everyone is part of this shahadah.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			And it's always a good idea to renew
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			our faith.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			Because at any point in time, some of
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			us, especially if we were born Muslim, we
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			may have taken certain things for granted.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			And this is a beautiful time to reaffirm
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			faith.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			Inshallah to Allah.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			And then I might very well ask you,
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			if you're comfortable with it, to make for
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			us a small dua or prayer.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			Inshallah.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			Because our belief is that literally the day
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			a person takes their shahadah, their slate is
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			wiped clean like the day you were born.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			And a person who is in that state,
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			their prayers are that much more likely to
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			be accepted.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			And they're that much closer to God.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			And so we pray that A, the shahadah
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			is accepted.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			And B, that your prayers are accepted.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			And let us hang on your coattails today,
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			inshallah.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			Inshallah bless you.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:12
			Are you ready?
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			Do you have any questions for me before
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:15
			we start?
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			I'm ready.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			I'm ready.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			All right, here we go.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			Bismillah.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			So little by little first the Arabic.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			Ash hadu.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			Ash hadu.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:29
			Allah.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:30
			Allah.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:31
			Ilaha.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:33
			Ilaha.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			Illallah.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			Illallah.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			Wa ash hadu.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			Wa ash hadu.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:39
			Anna.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:40
			Allah.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			Anna.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			Anna.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			Muhammad.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			Muhammad.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			Rasul.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			Rasul.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:46
			Mullah.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:47
			Mullah.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			I bear witness.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			I bear witness.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			That there is no God.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			That there is no God.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			Except Allah.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			Except Allah.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			And I bear witness.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			And I bear witness.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			That the prophet Muhammad.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			That the prophet Muhammad.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			Is the messenger.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			Is the messenger.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			Of Allah.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			Of Allah.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			Takbeer.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			Are we all ready to do this together?
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:13
			Yes?
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			In one voice, ready?
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			Ash hadu.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			Ash hadu.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			Allah.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			Ilaha.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:21
			Allah.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:22
			Illallah.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:23
			Allah.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			Wa ash hadu.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			Ash hadu.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:26
			Anna.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:27
			Anna.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			Muhammad.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:29
			Muhammad.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			Rasulullah.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			Rasulullah.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32

00:06:32 --> 00:06:32
			I bear witness.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

00:06:35 --> 00:06:36

00:06:36 --> 00:06:37

00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			Except Allah.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39

00:06:39 --> 00:06:39
			And I bear witness.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			That the prophet Muhammad.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			Is the messenger.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			Of Allah.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			Takbeer.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:50
			Allah.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			Could I get the first hug?
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			Thank you so much.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			Thank you.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01
			My goodness.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:02
			I'm so happy.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:08
			What an honor and a blessing.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			A couple of things.

			On behalf of the MCC.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			And our beautiful, lovely converts committee.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:16

			Yes.
