00:00.800 --> 00:02.640
Yasmin used to be Mindy.

00:03.420 --> 00:05.580
Raised by strict Southern Baptist parents,

00:05.840 --> 00:09.460
five years ago she decided to swap her business suit for a burka.

00:10.320 --> 00:14.360
My life didn't have any meaning and I just couldn't figure out what my purpose was.

00:14.700 --> 00:20.240
When I found Islam, I realized that the purpose of everyone is to worship Allah.

00:22.120 --> 00:27.100
After converting, Yasmin arranged herself a husband and they now have three kids.

00:27.100 --> 00:31.440
She's so devoted to Islam, she follows the Qur'an to the letter,

00:31.960 --> 00:33.980
a guiding force in difficult times.

00:34.840 --> 00:41.620
I think that Islam is offering a new way of life to many people in America

00:41.620 --> 00:49.480
and I think that it has the solution to a lot of prevailing evils in society.

00:50.280 --> 00:56.740
I mean, you know, there's a rape every minute, drug abuse, very high divorce rates.

00:57.100 --> 01:04.080
Adultery, fornication, all of these things are very destructive to the moral fiber of any society.

01:05.540 --> 01:08.540
Sisters, sisters, I have an announcement.

01:09.360 --> 01:14.320
Sister Marguerite, Sister Marguerite wants to take the shahada.

01:14.780 --> 01:15.020
What?

01:15.680 --> 01:16.560
Allah Akbar!

01:16.560 --> 01:18.480
Let's make a circle.

01:18.580 --> 01:20.060
She's ready to accept this land.

01:20.480 --> 01:24.740
Sisters, there's a lady here, she's going to make shahada.

01:24.940 --> 01:25.680
Allahu Akbar!

01:26.360 --> 01:27.080
Taqbir!

01:27.440 --> 01:28.120
Allahu Akbar!

01:28.320 --> 01:29.160
Taqbir!

01:29.480 --> 01:30.040
Allahu Akbar!

01:30.040 --> 01:31.320
Okay, come on!

01:33.480 --> 01:34.080
Marguerite!

01:34.340 --> 01:35.960
Go ahead and take it, we'll join the salam.

01:36.520 --> 01:38.840
Ashhadu al-lah-ilaha.

01:39.080 --> 01:39.640
Ashhadu?

01:39.640 --> 01:40.800
She's going to become Muslim.

01:41.160 --> 01:42.480
Say, ashhadu.

01:43.560 --> 01:44.160
Ashhadu.

01:44.400 --> 01:44.960
Allah.

01:45.320 --> 01:45.720
Allah.

01:46.000 --> 01:46.520
Ilaha.

01:46.960 --> 01:47.440
Ilaha.

01:47.680 --> 01:48.280
Allah.

01:48.280 --> 01:48.400
Allah.

01:49.280 --> 01:49.760
Allah.

01:49.760 --> 01:51.620
There's no God but Allah.

01:52.280 --> 01:52.920
Ashhadu.

01:53.440 --> 01:54.080
Ashhadu.

01:54.560 --> 01:54.920
Anna.

01:55.440 --> 01:55.760
Anna.

01:56.120 --> 01:56.880
Muhammadur.

01:57.280 --> 02:03.520
Every time somebody embraces Islam, subhanAllah, it just always reminds me of when I took the shahada myself.

02:03.520 --> 02:07.920
And it's just very emotional for most people.

02:08.920 --> 02:15.560
And I'm just happy and I hope that Allah guides her to the straight path and gives her the knowledge of esteem and success in this life and the next life.

02:17.800 --> 02:28.500
I think that the American society should not be afraid of what would happen to their country if Muslims were to become the majority in America.

02:28.500 --> 02:36.020
Because I believe that would benefit America in so many ways.

02:36.420 --> 02:38.560
Hey, hey, you guys come here.

02:39.560 --> 02:41.180
What's this green leaf?

02:42.740 --> 02:45.080
Abdrahman, Sissy, who made this leaf?

02:46.020 --> 02:48.020
Look, this is like an elephant.

02:48.520 --> 02:49.900
Who created this, Nene?

02:50.600 --> 02:51.020
Allah.

02:51.460 --> 02:52.840
Allah made this?

02:54.840 --> 02:56.540
What about this one?

02:56.540 --> 02:58.540
Who made this one?

03:00.940 --> 03:01.580
Allah.

03:01.940 --> 03:02.460
Mashallah.

03:02.460 --> 03:02.540
Allah.
