Take that step enter the fold of Islam.
Live your life as a complete Muslim,
We prostrate, here's our little mat there, okay, that big mat.
We pray wherever we are.
We pray five times a day without thankfully without fail, what we're doing
we take a pause in our life,
go thank the one who created us every single day, five times a day.
I mean, if a person did that,
any other faith, if a person... offcourse you would have that connection.
You would have that peace in your life humbleness, that humility, gratitude,
all these things will enter into that person's heart.
What about if I'm at a stage where...
And if there are certain sins which you're worried that you're doing still.
I left them a long time ago.
I'm trying to... err
I don't get even distracted by them anymore.
It's long gone yeah.. If I wrote a book about it I'd be
a different person in a different life.
I'm with you, but I don't want to get it wrong.
When you're a new mistake, you're allowed to make mistakes.
You're learning.
You're completely... look the Prophet Muhammad, peace upon him when Islam was...
when the Prophet ﷺ declared the Prophethood for the first 13 years of the Prophet ﷺ
peace upon him, of Islam, essentially, of the companions and everyone accepting Islam
there was no legislation like stop drinking alcohol, stop doing XYZ.
All these things were not impermissible. Why?
Because it was working from the inside out.
It's working on the heart of the person.
So that when these revelation came down,
women you need to wear hijab, men you need to leave the alcohol XYZ.
Their faith was strong enough that they could leave all of these things for Allah.
But baby steps, of course, not a problem.
You're allowed to make mistakes and learn as you go along.
Of course, this is completely normal.
But coming back to the fake Muslims,
I see them drinking and I see them, and then their attitudes Allah will forgive us.
But this is not the way.
This is not the way.
Consciously sinning and saying, I'll repent later, this is not how it works.
If you slip up unconsciously, you're overcome by your desires,
you're overcome by the circumstances you're in.
You slip up, you make a mistake. Yes, we all slip up.
We all sin, we all sin.
There's a hadith the Prophet ﷺ said that Allah said
The Prophet ﷺ said that Allah said that if you were
to sin and you were to turn to Allah
and ask him for repentance, he will forgive you.
If you were to come to Allah with an earth
full of sins, he will bring you an earth full of mercy.
I live in east Acton, there's a mosque
East Acton, next to a pizza shop.
Is it Algerians, Moroccans? Yeah that's the one.
Am I allowed to go in?
Anytime you like, as long as
some mosques are open all the time some are open at prayer times
Open at Friday
Friday Beautiful.
Go there, sit down, experience it, learn it.
Okay, you can do all that.
But if you believe that step, look, you're not guaranteed tomorrow.
Neither you or me are guaranteed tomorrow. 100% yeah.
Take that step.
All your previous sins, whatever you've done in your life are wiped clean.
You start your new life as a Muslim.
You have that peace in your heart and then you start to practice Islam
Step by step, baby steps.
You'll find that that connection will
only grow stronger and stronger the closer you come to Allah.
Allah says whoever takes a step towards Allah.
Allah comes walking towards them.
Yeah but I'm allowed to...
Yes.
I feel that i'm being... I don't want to be disrespecting
You know what, this shows sincerity. Yeah.
I don't want to be disrespectful.
I really want to get it. I really want to.
This shows sincerity.
And if a person like you who's saying that I'm worried, I'm worried I might do
something wrong and you're not taking it as lightly.
This is a good sign.
It's a sign of belief in your heart. Okay?
When a person sins and they feel bad afterwards, that's a sign they have belief
If they don't feel anything, this person's heart is dead completely.
Okay?
But that concern that you have there is a good thing.
It's not a bad thing,
but it shouldn't stop you from taking that step and becoming a Muslim.
Would you like take your Shahada?
And we say in Arabic and in English, yeah.
It will change your life.
And at this time, shaytaan will be shaytaan the devil.
Yeah. He'll be working 110%.
He's trying to pull me back
You're not ready yet? He's trying to pull me back.
Wait till this Friday.
Wait till a certain person is here.
XYZ, why?
Because none of us are guaranteed tomorrow
My real Muslim friends per se. When they done the shahada
It's a real emotional and I see the change in them.
And when we sat down and we spoke about it
and they said when the day comes that you do yours, they want to be there.
You know what you can do?
You can take your shahada.
Because then at least you are in the fold of Islam.
Tomorrow if you die, we bury you as a Muslim.
Your Muslim brothers will know that he's our Muslim brother.
We bury him as a Muslim.
You have rights over us.
You can of course do the Shahada
with these brothers in the mosque again on a Friday.
For example, say, look, I want to take my Shahada again.
Just so the community knows who I am and I know my community.
Okay?
For example, where you're local and you could do that again with them.
At least you've gone to sleep tonight as a Muslim.
Would you like to do it Arabic first or English?
and it's not disrespectful?
No, there isn't be easy, be easy.
Allah is the most loving, he's the most merciful.
Be easy. Relax
You're coming closer to Allah.
You're taking a step which will transform your life
and is your ticket to Jannah, to paradise guaranteed
Yeah.
I just don't want to get to Judgement Day and go listen, you've done this.
No.
Every Muslim will enter paradise.
And if you stayed the way you are,
the concern you have for your actions, for accountability with Allah.
You will insha-Allah be an amazing Muslim if you continue with that mindset.
These are good qualities to have definitely
In Arabic first or English what would you like to do?
English.
So you say I bear witness, I bear witness
That there is, that there is no one, no one
worthy of worship, worthy of worship
except Allah.
And I bear witness. And I bear witness
That the Prophet Muhammad That the Prophet Muhammad
Peace be upon him. Peace be upon him.
Is the Messenger of Allah. Is the Messenger of Allah.
AllaahuAkbar!
I'm going to do it in Arabic with you aswell, Do I repeat? Yes
أشھد ان لا الہ الا اللہ, وأشھد ان محمد رسول اللہ
AllaahuAkbar!
