 Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem We are so, so blessed here at the MCC today. We have Sister Jannah and her husband, Brother Trent, joining us today to make the testimony of faith, well in particular for Sister Jannah, Alhamdulillah, Brother Trent has already taken his Shahada, but he is here obviously to support his wife. The family is all here, it's a family affair, we're just incredibly honored and blessed that you chose this community center to have this momentous event here. Alhamdulillah, we have some community members here. I just wanted to begin this process by going over some of the just general basics of what we actually do when you enter Islam. The process that we're about to do is pretty simple. I will make the declaration of faith in Arabic and give you the meaning in English and you will repeat the Arabic with me. So I'll go slowly, so don't worry, I'll make sure that every word is clearly pronounced for you and you just repeat and as soon as you repeat and obviously that you testify to what you're saying and you have that belief in your heart, that's the process. It takes just a few minutes to come into this beautiful tradition. So that's how we do it. Before we actually begin, I just wanted to ask you if you would like to maybe share just a few words about what brought you to this place and why you have decided to accept Islam. So my fiancee Trent got introduced to it about a month and a half ago and a month ago he took a Shahada and it caused a lot of conflict in our home. But through all that conflict, I saw a real big change in his soul and in his heart. Just that change, it really brought joy and I've never felt that sort of sense of peace and love and so I read the pamphlet, I prayed with him throughout the day and in two days I just, I couldn't deny the truth and the word of God and I didn't have any words to explain it but more so a sense of peace and just love in my heart and so. Thank you. Thank you so much for sharing that. Can I ask what your faith or did you have a faith prior and what was that faith? That was the Latter-day Saints. Very good, so the Latter-day Saints. Now, did you, in your reading of Islam, obviously you read about what the core beliefs are, yes, the oneness of God, the prophecy of Prophet Muhammad, yes, peace be upon him, as well as the prophecy of all the previous prophets including Jesus Christ, yes. So you accept that Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, is a prophet and has no divinity and is not the Son of God, yes? Hell yes. Very good, we just always like to make sure that those things are clear, especially for our brothers and sisters from the Christian faith who are entering Islam, just to make sure that all of those points are clear because that is the main core difference between us and the previous Judeo-Christian tradition. Many of the beliefs are very similar as you will learn and we're excited to offer you the material and the resources and the access to teachers, inshallah, as you continue your journey so that you continue to learn. But we'll go ahead, if you're ready, inshallah, yes, we are all excited. We'll go ahead and begin the testimony of faith. So I'll go ahead and say to you the Arabic first, we'll do the Arabic process and then I'll repeat to you the meaning so you know what you're saying. So the very first thing we're going to say is Ashhadu. Ashhadu. An la ilaha. An la ilaha. Il Allah. Il Allah. Wa Ashhadu. Wa Ashhadu. Anna. Anna. Muhammadan. Rasul Allah. Very good, we'll do it one more time. Ashhadu. Ashhadu. An la ilaha. An la ilaha. Il Allah. Il Allah. Wa Ashhadu. Wa Ashhadu. Anna. Anna. Muhammadan. Muhammadan. You said I bear witness that there is no God but God or Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God. Alhamdulillah. Welcome to this beautiful tradition. Welcome to this community. We're so again very very happy and honored that you chose this community center to do this with. Alhamdulillah you are now and you were prior to even coming here because the faith was evident masha'Allah in your words and in your smile and in your eyes. That you were already a Muslim but now we've just solidified it. So welcome we're so so happy to have you. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Now it's time for hugs and a lot of love. Thank you Alhamdulillah for everybody for participating and for being witness to this insha'Allah. And welcome again brother Trent and we're just so happy for you both, your family, you're part of this community and we hope to continue to see all of you here insha'Allah. Salamu alaikum.
