Years ago when I was an imam, there
was a young woman who came into my
office. She was around 16 years old, and
she wanted to embrace Islam.
And, of course, I asked her about her
family, and I found out her family were
from Guatemala.
And we began to discuss, Alhamdulillah, a few
things, and eventually she embraced Islam.
And then about a week or two later,
her mother contacted the masjid and she wanted
to visit the masjid and she wanted to
talk to me. So I met her mother
and she spoke Spanish. My Spanish is like
to be honest with you. It's not very
good.
And, we work through it.
And I actually said to her mother, like,
what is it that you want for your
daughter? She's like, I wanted to be a
good person. I wanted to be part of
my family. I wanted to go to college.
I wanted to be successful. I said, that's
what Islam wants. Then her mother became very
happy.
About a week after that, the young woman
called me and said, my mother wants you
to come to our house because there is
a demon in our house.
And I was like, woah. That's not really
me. You know what I mean?
I'm not I'm not into that stuff. So
I went anyways,
and I got to the house, and the
mother explained to me that she had invited
the priest to the home
and that nothing worked. And as a last
resort,
she wanted me to do whatever we could
do
to help with the situation. So I read
the and other things and
as I was reading the Quran, and I
ain't gonna lie, man, I was kinda spooked.
As I was reading the Quran, the mother
goes like this.
And I'm like, oh, man. And then the
mother says, it left.
Whatever was here, it left. When you read
that that beautiful
sounding
book that you're reading. So then I said
to this young woman's mother,
do you believe that the one who caused
that thing to finally leave
is its god and the god of all
things?
And she said yes. And right there on
the stairs of their home, her mother,
Masha'Allah,
Alhamdulillah,
embraced al Islam.
I can't tell you how bad the advice
above is and how
inconsistent that is with prophetic values. Brothers and
sisters, when we embrace
Islam,
you need to love us and our families.
You need to be good to us and
our families.
Allah commands us to be good to our
non Muslim family members unless it's involving shirk.
Means to be consistently their companion.
So I just wanna emphasize
that this kind of
lack of care and love for those who
embrace Islam as well as trying to be
kind and touch the hearts of their families
and destabilizing the relationship between the new Muslim
and his or her family is extremely dangerous.
It is antithetical
to Islam
into the method of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam.
