Sajid Ahmed Umar – I’m A New Muslim #01 – Welcome To Islam

			Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh so you've taken the shahada Alhamdulillah Praise be to
Allah. What next? Well, there's a few things that you should take into consideration moving forward.
Number one, know that all your previous sins are now forgiven. The messenger peace and blessings be
upon him said that when a person accepts Islam, God Almighty, Allah subhanho wa Taala forgives all
their past sins, their slates are wiped clean. You are as a new born baby is that is number one. So
glad tidings to you. The next thing is for you to know that God Almighty has written for you Divine
Mercy, because God Almighty commands the messenger peace and blessings be upon him to tell the
		

			believers when the believers visit him, that God Almighty has written for them Divine Mercy, you are
engulfed in the mercy of God Almighty. Congratulations. What's the next thing you should consider?
The next thing you can you should consider after the shahada and after knowing that all your sins
are forgiven, and after knowing that you engulfed in the Mercy of Allah, is the need to find a
knowledgeable, reputable, non sectarian teacher, to teach you your faith. To not go on this journey
alone, relying on online resources, or relying on any Muhammad Yusuf or Hussein that you meet from
the Muslim community. Make sure you find someone who is a specialist who is reputable who is non
		

			sectarian, and let them take care of your faith matters moving forward. The last thing I will share
with you all is burn in don't burn out. Right? take it upon yourself to bring into your life the
most important matters of your faith. After you become a Muslim, and take baby steps in bringing
those matters into your life. Don't just dive in and burn out. For more information about your steps
moving forward after the shahada, please visit Islam wise.org And you muslim academy.org
