 How are you? We're good. Open. Your love will come to that. So tonight we shall all begin. You're going to be taking the shahada. Everyone here is going to witness it. In our tradition we believe that when you come to the fold of your staff, all of your sins are forgiven. All of your past is wiped out. And God Almighty allows you to have a fresh brand to start. And there's no better way to do it. There's no better time to do it than in the month of Ramadan. Every time is good. But this essentially is a fresh start for you. And all of these individuals that you see here are your new family members and your brothers and sisters. And if you ever had a man you're going to be hugging a lot of men today. I'll say the shahada in Arabic one word at a time. I'll have you repeat after me. And then we'll say it in English. And then we'll officially introduce you to the fold of the staff. A shahadu Alla Ilaha Ilm Allah A shahadu Alla Muhammadan Abduhu I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except the one God and I bear witness that the Prophet Muhammad he is here on him he is here on him this is his last and final message congratulations Muhammad be Allah be Allah be Allah
