alhamdulillah like to thank everybody
for sticking around to want to witness
this beautiful
moment of a person in a sense being
reborn that when a human
being he comes to the
realization that it's a time in my life
I have to ponder and think what's the
purpose of my life why am I here is it
just to play have fun go to the
nightclubs kick it on the weekends earn
some money have a good time and then I
die or is there more to
life you see people dying every
day it's very important that we think
about these things and this man thought
about it and he's been researching for a
few months now contacted me we know each
other
a little bit we've been talking and he
uh emailed me in
[Music]
short
[Music]
paraphrasing his email that uh he was
once a Christian but he always had this
in the back of his head the confusion of
the power that's supposed to be given to
the Creator being given to somebody else
it didn't make
sense so how does one distinguish with
all the different ways of life calling
to to people telling them that they're
the only way how do we distinguish
what's the right way with all this
confusion when a human being uses the
tools that the creator of the heavens
and the Earth has given him he's
embedded in all of us this innate nature
to worship the one
God a spiritual chip in a sense so when
you see the attributes of
man man is weak man is born man
dies when you see a cow when you see
animals when you see the sun these are
all the creations of the
Creator but when it comes to you the
truth and the attribute of the one who
created you that he's one and alone
running this universe that he doesn't
become born he doesn't die he doesn't
eat then go to the bathroom he's not a
man that has an area code a zip code now
you can f fingerprint him take his
picture and the girl say oh he's cute
that he has a color a skin tone a
skeleton that he eats goes to the
bathroom comes out of the womb of a
woman this is not
God and this is something that anyone
even if they're a non-muslim and they're
listening the inside of him if he's not
bobbing his head yes the inside of him
is saying yes I want to worship the one
God The God Who created the Sun the moon
the god who Jesus called upon when he
fell on his face he prayed to who
himself no he prayed to the one God he
prayed the same way Moses prayed the
same way Abraham prayed and the same way
we're praying here
today worshiping not the Sun not the
moon not Muhammad not Jesus we're
worshiping the same way all the
messengers of God they worship and when
our new brother here when he
investigated this he took the time out
of his business busy schedule he's an
architect he's a
professional and he trains the body and
the mind and he says man my soul I need
to look into this a little more because
I spent all the other time researching
and studying how to be the best
architect how to make money but this is
a little more important I need to take a
time out so he picked up the Quran which
is the last and final Testament the last
and final
Revelation it's not edited by man
changed suited for the time it's been
preserved for, 1400 years if anyone
wants to take a look it challenges the
reader prove if you find one
contradiction it can't be from God God
doesn't make
mistakes so this book that has been
preserved that was revealed over a span
of 23 years in the Arabic The
Original he studied this he looked into
it he saw that the attributes of the
creator that we Define that he's one
absolutely alone worthy of worship not
worshiping the creation but worshiping
the
Creator he acknowledged this in the same
way that this shahada this testimony is
nothing new this is something that if
you were living during the time of
Jesus as what we have allegedly
attributed to Jesus because we know we
don't have the past books they been
changed we don't have the originals but
what we have today we see Jesus peace be
upon him saying this is life eternal
that they may know you the only true God
and Jesus who you have sent so if you
were living during the time of Jesus you
had to follow him he was the way the
truth and the light he was the messenger
teaching you how to get close to God but
he didn't call you to worship him none
of the messengers called on the people
to worship
themselves Moses if if you were living
during the time of Moses Moses didn't
call people to worship a man God to
worship the Sun the moon he called the
people to worship the one God so did
Abraham they were ones who submitted
themselves to the one God this is the
same way of life that God has sent
throughout time it's a universal way of
life to surrender and to submit to the
one God doing what he wants you to do
not making your own organized religion
we shouldn't have to follow a man-made
religion and he has acknowledged that
he's going to be taking the Declaration
of Faith doing
what all the messengers of God did
submitting to the one God Islam is not a
new religion brought by Muhammad it's
the same way of life that was
implemented during the time of Moses
Jesus Abraham Noah and all the
messengers of God that came with that
same way the one way surrender and
submit to God alone and not his creation
so we're going to do the first step it's
the
shahada how you feeling brother ah great
all right so I'm going to say it in
English and then we're going to do it
into
Arabic
now I just want to take a minute because
a lot of these things for new Muslims
for people when they hear certain Arabic
words some things you have to understand
is kind of foreign to them but when we
say Allah we just Define who Allah is
he's not a man a monkey the Sun the
moon he's not like us can you be God you
ask yourself no because you have certain
man qualities God doesn't have the same
qualities he's the Creator we're the
creation so when we say Allah he's one
absolute Eternal he's not the father of
someone he doesn't have sons and
daughters like we do doesn't go to the
bathroom eat get sick and have to take
an Advil no this is not God
so this is Allah in Aramaic the language
that Jesus spoke he didn't speak English
he didn't say God he said
Allah in Hebrew El Elohim Allah doesn't
take a person with too much intelligent
and too many Doctor degrees to see that
Allah Allah is the same God that the
Jews and Christians who are arabic
speaking they call on Allah so that's
the testimony of faith that he's taking
our new brother today
is that he Bears witness it's a first a
negation of all the other gods could be
a money God can be your own mind making
God into something convenient in your
mind and you worshiping your mind
instead of God the money the material
things a man a monkey an elephant
anything in the creation he's
acknowledging that these are not God God
is the one who created everything in his
universe that's the one I'm going to
worship and prostrate to how can you go
wrong doing that
so in English I testify I bear witness
that there is none worthy of worship
except the creator of the heavens and
earth Allah and Muhammad is his slave
servant and messenger confirming Jesus
Moses and all Abraham and all the other
Messengers do you believe this yes I do
were you cered did someone twist your
arm did somebody make you cerse you put
a spell on you to do this Noe beautiful
now in the
Arabic all
right before all the brothers come and
introduce themselves I want to make this
clear that this God that we worship is a
merciful god he's a loving God and when
a person takes the free choice of either
worshiping the creation or the Creator
he absolves him from all his sins Clean
Slate all his bad Deeds are turned into
Good Deeds if you owe somebody some
money you got to pay the debt you did
something wrong to someone you got to go
make amends but God has absolved you of
all your sins you're like a newborn baby
you're going to establish the prayer
five times a day pay the charity fast
during the month of Ramadan do the Hajj
when you're physically and financially
able stay away from Bad invite people to
good do good and be the best human being
that you can be welcome to Islam my
brother
way it's the right way it's the only
way feels good man it feels really good
it's the best thing I ever did study
study look it up research it and may
your mind be open and accept it feels
pretty
good
good worship the so Creator the heavens
and the
universe
