Mehran is from Persia, I left when I was one.
He left the religion when he was one.
He doesn't identify himself as a Muslim, of course, yeah, he hasn't grown up as a Muslim.
My parents weren't religious.. I didn't
If you haven't looked into it
go and look into the source of the religion, the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
I think we have the biography book over there
We'll give that to you, the blue and white one there.
Okay.
Okay. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
Learn about the source. Who is the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ peace upon him.
Who is Allah?
Who is Allah in Islam? I don't know.
Okay, so this is what you need to learn from the foundation.
Allah is God. Allah is God.
And he is one, and he's the most merciful and he's the most loving.
Okay?
And he wants to forgive us and he wants us to go into paradise.
Everybody who turned to Islam, jas honestly, they've had such a better life.
Mike Tyson... many people, so many.
These are people that were like drinking, doing drugs.
Let me tell you something. As human beings, we want happiness.
As human beings, our nature is to... I'm getting emotional.
Our nature is to want happiness, to find happiness, as many different things.
Alcohol, women, cars, houses, all of these, wealth, all these things.
And those who have everything, they're still depressed.
They still take pills to go to sleep.
They're still drinking so they can actually have a good night's sleep.
They're still depressed inside. Why?
Because those things will never give you what you're looking for.
Only. And in Islam, we call it emaan (faith)
That strong connection with your Creator.
Because why do you think we are here?
Why are we here? To help and love one another.
No doubt, as well as that, our core purpose is to thank the one who made us.
When you were born and when I was born, we had nothing.
Everything we have is from Allah.
And He is the one who needs to be thanked every single day.
And when the person... I'm going to end up becoming such a proper Muslim. Insha-Allah (God Willing)
and when you find that connection, when you start to live your life how He
wants you to live it, not how you want to live it,
but how He wants you to live it, then you will feel that peace.
You won't need those pills.
You won't need that alcohol.
All these things which you're trying to calm yourself down with
and ignore the reality, you won't need that.
You will have that peace in your heart *BIG HUG* and Islam will give you that.
Take your Shahada If you know what you're doing, if you know what you're doing, this is what you want.
I want to take it.
Okay, insha-Allah. How do we do it?
So I'll say it in Arabic.
I say in Arabic and then in English
and you repeat after me insha-Allah.
So you say “Ashadu an la ilaha illa illa-ilah, wa ashadu anna muhammadan rasul ullah.”
AllaahuAkbar (Allah is the greatest)
I'm going to say in English for you. So you know what you've said there.
I bear witness, that is no one worthy of worship except Allah and I bear witness that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) if his final Messenger.
Allaahu Akbar (Allah is the greatest)
