 In trauma, what we're going to do is we're going to recite the testimony of faith. Are you guys both familiar with this? Has everybody discussed this with you? Okay, are you familiar with the contents of what we're about to do? Okay, so I'll cover it just in case. So, in order to enter the faith, there's simply two statements that you have to believe and testify with your tongue. We have a lot of instances. Did you follow any faiths before today? Yeah. Yeah? Were you Christian before that? Yeah, we were Catholic. Okay, Catholic. Okay, and yourself? Protestant. Okay, alright. So, what we're going to do is I'm going to say the statements in English, and we'll start with Max and then we'll go to the other one next. And then I'll say them in Arabic as well, and you can repeat after me. Okay? So, let's start with the English so that you know what you're saying. Okay? I testify that there's nothing worthy of worship except God. And I testify that the Prophet Muhammad is his last and final messenger. And I testify that Jesus was the Prophet of God. So, we're going to say the Prophet Muhammad. Okay? I testify that there's nothing worthy of worship except God. And I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of God. Messenger of God. That's it. So, what this means is that we've entered into the faith formally, right? And we have one point, six billion brothers and sisters in the world. Welcome. Congratulations. And we're all here for your question. The Psalm is a marathon, right? It's a long journey. You're going to grow and develop. But as Matthew was reminding us in his sermon, the most central thing for you is your relationship with God. And we'll all be here to support women up there. All right? Same thing. Okay? Let's start with the English just so you can play around with yourself with the meanings. And again, this is something that you affirm in the heart and then the tongue follows. Okay? I testify that there is nothing worthy of worship except God. And I testify that the Prophet Muhammad is his last and final messenger. And I testify that Jesus was the Prophet of God. Okay? So now we're going to say it here. I testify that there is nothing worthy of worship except God. And I testify that there is nothing worthy of worship except God. Thank you for you. So everyone repeat after me and say Masha'Allah. Masha'Allah. Masha'Allah means as God wills. And it's what we say, reseaching God, passionately petitioning God to protect Thomas and to protect Thomas' family. And so we all say that asking God to imbue blessings in everything that Thomas does every step of the journey in his career, in his education, in his family and otherwise. And I want to tell you and Lynn and Uncle Richard and Lucy that if Thomas does this Islam thing right, then you will see him to be a better son and a better brother. And if you don't see him to be a better son and a better brother, come tell me. And if you see anything weird, then he's not doing Islam correctly. I'm serious, I mean that. Because you can be a beautiful Muslim and a beautiful American. And it's very possible. Right? And so anything that you see, Thomas hopefully is a man of judgment and good character and wisdom. You can have that and we're here to facilitate. Because we are part of a human family and we only want you to be a happier mother and for you to be a happier father and a happier sister. And we mean that. And that's real. We want happiness for all of you. And so this is a magnanimous moment. We go on our journeys in life where we have intellectual awakenings and emotional awakenings and finally spiritual awakenings. And this is a moment that's very simple. Thomas has studied Islam. He knows what this moment means. He knows that he's affirming in his heart that there is no God, worthy of no one, worthy of worship except Allah which is the Arabic word for God. And that the final messenger that God sent to us, Muhammad, to peace be upon him. And so we're going to say it in English and in Arabic and then celebrate and get some dinner. Because we haven't eaten for 16 hours. Good time to take your shahed down. Start the fasting. But step by step. This is coming into Islam. It's not an event. It's a process. It's not a sprint. It's a marathon. And we're here to give you water and make your way. And we're here to cheer you on. And make it beautiful. Hopefully place some music on the side while you're running that marathon. Make it a beautiful journey. I mean. Any questions? Anything? Any comments? That's OK. We already see the positive. Well Richard says he already sees the positive things that Islam has brought to his life. Long life. Long life. Thank you for sharing it with me. Repeat after me. We'll do it in English. We'll do it in Arabic three times. I bear witness. I bear witness. And I testify. And I testify. That there is no one worthy of worship. But there is no one worthy of worship. Except Allah. Except Allah. And that Muhammad is the final messenger of Allah. That there is no one worthy of worship. Except God. And Muhammad is the final messenger of God. And in Arabic Ashadu. Ashadu. Allah Ilah Illa Allah Wa Ashhadum Anna Muhammedan Rasulullah Ashhadum Anlah Ilah Illa Allah Wa Ashhadum Muhammedan Rasulullah Ashhadum Anlah Ilah Illa Allah Wa Ashhadum Muhammedan Rasulullah Illa Allah Illa Allah No matter what anyone says No matter which way we acknowledge your existence and the reality of your being and you are the one and the only God and the one and the only Creator and we ask you to gather all of us in your heaven without judgment and me, and me, and me and we conclude with the recitation of the first chapter of the Qur'an and together we will be as you wish to come after you whatever you think I want to remind you that at this moment we believe in what the Prophet told us that if you ever committed any sin and mistake you have been cleaned, you have been cleansed like the day you were born from your mother's womb sinless and this is a special moment we ask you to create for all of us congratulations and thank you everyone
