check this out welcome back to the
mailbag here on the Dean show I'm Yusuf
Estes and one jump right into this one
this is an interesting one in a common
one as well when a person reaches the it
reaches the point where they say well
the evidence is overwhelming and it
seems to me that Islam is the truth I
can't really come up with anything else
it looks like it's the only way to
really understand the concept of God and
the proper way to reach him or worship
him but and there's always a but isn't
there otherwise you wouldn't write the
letter you just go ahead and enter Islam
but he said I have a habit over my life
of chasing women drinking alcohol and
bass and other sundry things that he
details here we don't need to go into
but in any case he said what if I went
to Islam which seems right to me but at
the same time what if I can't hang on
what if I fail what if I fall out of
Islam what if I go back to the evil that
I used to do what if I can't do all the
praying and the fasting and the things
that Islam calls for other maybe I don't
want to grow my beard or and in the case
of one of the sisters that lady she
asked that what if I can't wear that
cover on my head things like this then
they would consider me an apostate and
then would they kill me and I'm gonna
tell you I don't mean to laugh because I
know that it's a serious question but
the reason objectives because they went
through the same big myself what a
carriages lemma said wait a minute guys
I don't know this you guys are praying
five times every day what if I forgot to
pray you know what would happen in or
and you're talking about fasting you're
talking about not eating not drinking
not enjoying some of the things I take
for granted every day you want me to
give that up for a whole month out every
year oh it's not that I don't really
want to it's there what if I can't or
what if I forget you know it it might be
too much for me and so and I also
heard that if you left Islam that jump
was not funny it was not funny when I
heard it then but it's funny now because
I know good and well it's not true but
you know at the time you know I was
hearing all these things there were
people all around me trying to tell me
you're so ever the Muslims you're going
to get a demon stay away from these
Muslims because they're going to mess
you up they're going to do stuff to you
and blah blah blah terrorism acts of you
know suicide bombers all the rest let me
just put it real simple for you it's
very simple if you really believe
there's one God and he has no partners
and you're willing to worship him on his
trans and you're really taking even the
first step then you have
