 Alright, Alhamdulillah, Mashallah, we have a brother, we were talking about Shahadahs earlier, and Alex, I had the chance to meet him last week, and he wants to publicly announce Shahadah. I want to mention a couple things. I don't know you a lot, Alex, but you're in what grade? Ninth grade wants to make a Shahadah, and so this is showing like, if you have kids in high school or middle school, don't think they're just kids. They're people who have like, you did a lot of soul searching to come to this decision, right? And you made this decision yourself, right? The other thing is, in addition to his soul searching, how did you get to MCC? A friend from school. There's a sister in the community who brought him to the Masjid, and afterwards actually this whole week I've been thinking myself, like, may Allah be pleased with her mother and father, for giving her the tarbiyyah and the identity to be strong as a Muslim, Lena, right? Lena, is she here tonight? She's not? As strong as in her identity as a Muslim, that when somebody expects an interest, and you know what she told me? Why did she bring you to the Masjid, to find God and to find Islam? She told me too, that in addition, she said, he was asking me questions. I didn't know the answer, and I wanted to make sure to give the right answer. And we were just talking about how in our deen, that we go to sound scholarship to understand that this is, you know, this is the deen of Allah. So without further ado though, you're going to repeat after me, the Shahada, in front of all of your brothers and sisters in the community. Ashhadu. Ashhadu. Allah. Allah. Ilaha. Ilaha. Illallah. Illallah. Wa Ashhadu. Wa Ashhadu. Anna. Anna. Muhammadan. Muhammadan. Rasul. Rasul. Allah. Allah. I bear witness. I bear witness. I bear witness. Under no compulsion. Under no compulsion. There is only one God. That there is only one God. And Muhammad. And Muhammad. Is the last and final messenger. Is the last and final messenger. Allahu Akbar. Takbir. Alhamdulillah. And Brother Alex, you know what your, you know your name is mentioned in the Qur'an, right? Your story. Iskander. Dhulqarnayn. So there's a story in Surah Kahf about a man named Dhulqarnayn. He was a righteous leader and his name was Iskander, Alex, Alexander. And he was a righteous man and Allah gave him a light in front of his army to push forward the empire of faith and the believers. And so may Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala have, give you in front of you a guiding light for your whole life and to make you a carrier of justice as Alexander Dhulqarnayn was a carrier of justice and faith throughout the world. The Prophet SAW said that when a person becomes Muslim, it's like the day his mother gave birth to him. His sins are wiped clear and it's just like the baby is innocent and all of their sins are wiped clear. Your sins have been wiped clear. So you're starting off on a great new slate and may you build on that and this is your community, the whole ummah of the Prophet SAW is your community. So welcome to the ummah of the Prophet SAW.
