00:00Wonderful, man. Wonderful. Well, I mean, are you a professor here by any chance?
00:18I'm finding peace in that. Well, no, I'm not. Not yet.
00:21Okay.
00:22Though I do appreciate many of the professors that are here that are able to teach us students.
00:32And it's immeasurably valuable just to be able to have that spiritual awareness and to be able to be in accord with the word of the law.
00:44And also to be able to learn kind of the truth of Muhammad.
00:53But then just, yeah, so then just to be able to, I don't know, this is, yeah, kind of to be able to say things in English normally.
01:00Of course, of course, of course. Sounds good, brother.
01:02Well, you already know, if you ever have any questions in the future, feel free to stop by. Okay, my brother?
01:07Okay, but then with that, yes, send me the image so that I can be able to read the hadith and everything.
01:14Start going through that. Beautiful, beautiful.
01:16To be able to then daily life.
01:19So are you interested in becoming a Muslim by any chance?
01:23Well, I mean, I would identify as a Muslim, but.
01:25Oh, so right now you already identify as a Muslim right now?
01:27Yeah, to an extent, yes. Okay, cool.
01:29Have you taken your shahadah?
01:31Well, that's something is to be able to formally be, to be able to be formally in accord with them.
01:37And that's something then, yeah, to guide oneself into that.
01:41So if you want, I could share with you the five pillars of Islam and the six pillars of faith.
01:48And then if you agree with these things that I share with you, then you would be ready to accept Islam like formally.
01:55Well, yes, and that might be what we may be able to dialogue about.
01:59Okay, what would you like for me to go ahead?
02:01I would like to take the pilgrimage to visit.
02:04The holy city, right?
02:05The holy city.
02:06Yeah, that's awesome. Guess what? I'm going next month.
02:08I'm going next month. I'm going next month.
02:11Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
02:13Yes, I'm going next month. Inshallah. Inshallah, man.
02:15Yeah, I'm going to be visiting the holy city.
02:17So I'm very, very pumped up.
02:19And hopefully he, he's actually a new Muslim as well.
02:22And he plans on going during Ramadan.
02:25So in the holy month of Ramadan, we're going to be going together as well.
02:28So it's going to be awesome. I actually visit here very often.
02:31I visit here very, very often.
02:33It's like, dude, it recharges my entire soul, bro.
02:35Literally recharges my entire soul.
02:37So what I'll do, my dear brother, is I'll explain to you what the Muslims believe, right?
02:41I'll explain to you the five pillars, the six pillars of faith, right?
02:45And then if you agree with these things, then you would be ready to formally accept Islam.
02:49But obviously it's only according to your own accord.
02:52Okay, cool.
02:53So would you like me to continue?
02:54Yes, please continue.
02:55Beautiful, okay.
02:56So obviously Islam means submission to Almighty God, okay?
03:01A Muslim means a person who chooses to submit their will to Almighty God alone, right?
03:07So I'm going to share with you a story, right, of a person who came to the Prophet of Allah, right?
03:14And asked him what is Islam, okay?
03:16And I'll explain to you what the five pillars of Islam is, what the six pillars of Iman are.
03:20And if you agree with these things, then you are ready to take your shahadah.
03:23Okay, my brother?
03:24Okay, so the man came to the Prophet of Allah and said,
03:28Oh Prophet of Allah, what is Islam?
03:32The Prophet of Allah said,
03:33Islam is when you testify that there is no deity worthy of worship besides Allah,
03:39and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, right?
03:42Do you agree with that?
03:43Do you believe that there is no god worthy of worship but Allah,
03:46and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah?
03:48Well said, that's something that I may have to agree about.
03:51Okay, beautiful.
03:52And then the second is to pray your prayers, right?
03:56To be grateful to Allah.
03:57The third is to feed the poor and to feed the needy, right?
04:02Yes.
04:03And then the fourth is to visit the holy city of Mecca, right?
04:07And the fifth is to fast during the holy month of Ramadan.
04:12So then, the fourth and fifth.
04:14Yes.
04:16And then acknowledging that Prophet Muhammad is the one god, the true god, Allah,
04:23and to be able to complete that is to travel to the holy city,
04:30and then also to fast on Ramadan.
04:34Am I pronouncing that correctly?
04:35Yes, yes, yes.
04:36But the holy city, only if you can afford it.
04:38If you cannot afford it, there is no obligation.
04:40There is no obligation on the believer if they cannot afford it.
04:43Currently, there is not an obligation yet.
04:45Yes.
04:46But that is to say that if it is within one's means, for sure,
04:49certain that I may be able to.
04:52Yes.
04:53And it's not expensive to go there at all, by the way.
04:55Soon, soon, to be able to afford, to be able to then,
04:58to make that within kind of one's duties to be able to say,
05:03yes, I will then.
05:04Okay, beautiful.
05:05So then now I'll explain to you the six pillars of Iman, right?
05:09And then if you could explain to me, you could say if you agree or not, okay?
05:13So then the man asked the Prophet of Allah,
05:16O Prophet of Allah, tell me about faith.
05:18What is faith?
05:19The Prophet of Allah said that faith is when you believe in Allah,
05:24you believe in his angels,
05:26you believe in his books, right?
05:29You believe in his prophets,
05:31you believe in the final day, right?
05:34And you believe that you believe in the final day,
05:38and that you believe in divine decree, okay?
05:41So this is the six pillars of faith.
05:43Is that something that you agree with, my dear brother?
05:45Well, yes.
05:46That is something that I do, at least I believe I agree with.
05:50But then the final day is something that I must learn more about.
05:54Yes.
05:55And in addition, the, and to be able to recite this clearly,
06:00the six pillars.
06:02The six pillars, may you tell me again.
06:04Yes, the six pillars is divine decree,
06:06meaning that everything happens through the will of God,
06:10and also the humans have free will to make their own decisions as well.
06:13And to accept that, to embrace it.
06:15Embrace it, yes.
06:16To embody it.
06:17Yes.
06:18So do you agree with all these things as well, my dear brother?
06:20Yes, that is something that I may agree with.
06:22And to be able to then recite this,
06:24and to be able to express this within being,
06:28to be able to say, yes, this is something that I believe.
06:33Beautiful, beautiful.
06:34And to be able to have the heart, the courage, the capacity,
06:37to be able to then say, okay, that's very well, my brother,
06:40this is something that I believe.
06:42Beautiful, my brother.
06:43So the next step, right, is saying the shahadah, right?
06:46Which is obviously you believe all this with your heart,
06:49so now it's time to say it with your tongue, right?
06:51So the shahadah is called the proclamation of faith, right?
06:54So what it is, is when you testify that there's none worthy of worship
06:58besides Allah, the one true God,
07:00and then you testify that Muhammad is simply the prophet and the servant of God.
07:05You understand?
07:06Okay.
07:07So then, so then, then, okay.
07:10So then how might I ready myself then to be ready to testify?
07:13Well, so that's it.
07:14You're already ready, my brother.
07:15That's it.
07:16You're already ready.
07:17Okay, well then, very well.
07:18Would you like to take the proclamation of faith, my brother?
07:21Well, this is something that I myself am saying,
07:24that I myself am saying that I think then we may,
07:30let me be ready so that I might be able to prepare for myself,
07:33so that I'm kind of in the right.
07:37Do you believe then that I've manifested myself as ready then?
07:41Yes, 100%.
