 You know, I was practicing for a while and I was all about form. I used to wear like, you know Islam at that time was it was very Much about how you looked, you know So not only did you have to wear a job to wear correctly and then you had to wear, you know, it's very I don't know. It's just a different message than about looking very Muslim So I used to walk around all black like I would wear, you know, just a job and I would have no makeup on I was just like Nothing, no smile. No actually intentionally I would not smile. I'm not kidding And I had friends who would be like, why do you walk around like this because I was on college campus And I'm just like and I would say, you know, I said because I want to go far to know I'm not afraid of them That's how I used to walk around with that kind of energy Can you imagine how how un-islamic that really is when you start to understand? But I just thought that was it was a very interesting way of practicing back then So I used to walk around like that and I used to judge people all the time for how they weren't dressed the way that I thought They should dress and I'm someone, you know Again, I was I thought I was on the right path and I thought this is what Islam is One day I was at Oakland Airport and I shared a story just to show you again how this hit me I was at Oakland Airport and I was waiting for a ride This car pulls up and this lady walks out. She's like, yes, the book all white American, you know Women and she's wearing like a tank top and shorts like short shorts And of course I'm sitting there in my gear to the bed, but I'm just like I've got like daggers coming on my eyes towards this lady, you know, I'm like look at her Look how she's dressed like what is this ridiculous now have all these terrible thoughts in my mind And I swear to you this happens She because she's she's in her you know, she's has a trunk open and she's moving stuff in her car This is where all these thoughts are coming She sees me and she like looks right at me and I was like, oh dang You know my thoughts out of my head like are they you know She's hearing my thoughts like it just felt very awkward to see this woman that I'm thinking about all these terrible things looking at me because there's It's a hustling airport a lot of people, you know a lot of traffic But she looks right at me and then she closes her trunk and she walks like directly towards me And I was like, oh my god Like on my heartbeat with a boom-boom-boom like what is going to happen now and she this this is what comes out of the mouth So I'm like and she's like, I know I don't look like a Muslim I'm actually really embarrassed the way that I look right now. I converted to Islam She's just talking to her story and she's just like so humble so timid and just really feeling, you know shy But she's like I felt compelled to talk to you because you know, I'm raising my my son Muslim And I don't have any information I I saw you and I thought it was like a sign from God that maybe I should come talk to you and ask you for books Like references for books and you can imagine what's going on inside of me, right? So this is what I call you know those, you know life-changing moments Absolutely, like I felt like I just got hit in the face because from the outward Just looking at examining the two, you know, people would assume a lot of things about me A lot of things about her but the realities were so far, right? Here's she's someone who's seeking who's humble who's coming with that soft gentle heart And here I am on my high horse thinking I was something, you know So it really did wake me up and that was a turning point for me to realize like all this year It's like you've been worrying about this this this so that's why this Intention matters so much because if it's all for naught, you know It's off means nothing if it's not done with the right intention. So we have to remember that every day every single day So we start
