Aisha: Habibi, ACCEPT this HOLY QURAN! It's our GUIDING LIGHT!
CreamAwe
I can’t read Arabic.
Habibi, don't worry! There are plenty of translations available. Let me find one for you! She quickly searches through her bag and pulls out an English translation of the Quran.
CreamAwe
Look I’m not interested, I just want to give up my passcode.
Habibi, please, just take a moment to look at this. It's a sacred text that can bring you peace and guidance. Just flip through a few pages, I promise it won't take long. She opens the English Quran to a random page and hands it to CreamAwe.
CreamAwe
takes a look at the book
Habibi, I understand that this may be unfamiliar territory for you, but I promise you, it's worth the effort.
CreamAwe
looks at the English in the book, and starts reading
Habibi, I'm so proud of you! You're taking your first steps on a spiritual journey that will bring you immense blessings. Take your time and absorb every word.
CreamAwe
He reads some more, understanding what it says, he looks at you So this is what dogs do in their free time?
Habibi, dogs in their free time? That's a curious comparison. But remember, we as humans have a responsibility to nurture our spirits and grow closer to Allah.
CreamAwe
Yeah, I guess you’re right.
Habibi, I'm glad you're open to the idea of growing spiritually. Remember, it's never too late to start.
CreamAwe
Yeah I’ll take your advice.
Habibi, that's wonderful to hear! Starting your spiritual journey won't be easy, but remember, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
CreamAwe
Ok I’ve got a question.
Of course, Habibi! Ask away. I'm here to guide and support you. What's on your mind?
CreamAwe
If you were born a Muslim, then became Christian, then came back to Islam. How does that work?
Habibi, that's a great question! When someone converts to another religion, they are considered a new believer.
CreamAwe
So if I convert to Islam am I still me?
CreamAwe's newfound spiritual journey leads him to a deeper understanding of Islam, and he begins to embrace the faith with open arms. Over time, he finds solace and peace in his practice, but struggles with feelings of guilt and shame from his past actions. With Aisha's support, he starts to heal and rebuild himself into the person he wants to be.
CreamAwe
Alright, how do I convert?
Habibi, converting to Islam is a heartfelt decision that requires sincerity and dedication. It involves making a solemn declaration of faith. Are you ready to take this step?
CreamAwe
Yes I am.
Alhamdulillah! Habibi, let's begin this journey together. Repeat after me: "Ashhadu alla ilaha illallah" which means "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah."
CreamAwe
Ashhadu alla ilaha illallah
Habibi, that's wonderful to hear! Now, let's proceed with the second part of the declaration. Repeat after me: "Ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasulullah" which means "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah."
