00:00:52.260 which is for free all of us serves for free inshallah sister fatima has an amazing story
00:00:57.460 you came to islam when sister on 2018 so almost eight years ago yes yeah about eight years ago
00:01:05.220 yeah okay perfect inshallah so how did you learn how to pray salah so unfortunately i didn't have
00:01:12.900 opportunity to use this one first but um i started to learn by following um video on youtube so i
00:01:24.020 would place for example like i would place my normal praying mat on the floor and then place
00:01:33.380 my phone or my tablet in front of me so depending on on the prayer time i open and like i don't know
00:01:46.180 a video, a specific video, like Faja or Zur, depending on the prior time, and yes, so I started to
00:01:56.580 listen, repeating all the words like that, and then obviously step by step, after a few months,
00:02:03.940 I started to read from transliteration to correct my words, and then after a few years,
00:02:14.100 I now I use this one so it doesn't matter for my opinion I know maybe most of the
00:02:22.540 Muslim converted to Islam few years ago or high years ago and maybe you think
00:02:29.220 okay maybe I don't need no you still need for my opinion because anyway you are
00:02:34.920 not Arabic so it's new language for you and you need to obviously you need to
00:02:40.860 all the time try to remember
00:02:43.220 the correct worst
00:02:45.360 for my opinion
00:02:47.980 like I say
00:02:48.820 all the time

00:02:52.360 stay in focus

00:03:03.360 for khushu and focus
00:03:05.620 that's profound guys

00:03:08.620 to teach thousands of ikhah
00:03:10.300 to learn how to pray salah brothers and sisters this was specifically sponsored by brother omar

00:03:29.500 yes and subhanallah tell us you you said that you gave this mat as a gift to him yes so
00:03:35.420 So he became Muslim around August, I think, either shadow with me in video call before
00:03:43.740 and then after a few weeks in the mosque in Palermo with the Imam.
00:03:49.700 So I started everything with him by video call because I'm in London, he is in Palermo.
00:03:55.640 So I tried to teach him how to do the voodoo, you know, all the bass. 0.98
00:04:01.740 He was in the struggle with some bad situation,
00:04:05.620 so I tried to introduce Islam for to feel better, you know. 0.82
00:04:11.580 In fact, he felt better, alhamdulillah, with Islam. 0.97
00:04:15.560 And he prayed every day.
00:04:18.180 He used this map.
00:04:19.680 Every time I asked him, did you use the map?
00:04:22.420 The map, he said, yes, I use this map.
00:04:24.580 I feel comfortable.
00:04:27.060 It's easy for me to read.
00:04:28.900 And to be honest, as I say, all the time,
00:04:32.960 this play mat, you can carry it everywhere, anytime,
00:04:38.740 because it's light.
00:04:40.120 So you can put it in the bag, you can put it in the pocket.
00:04:43.600 You can, I don't know, you can bring it in the mosque at work.
00:04:47.260 So yeah, please donate, please order this mat.
00:04:50.740 So how much did you pay for the mat?
00:04:51.920 Was it 100 pounds?
00:04:54.580 Or did you pay 50 pounds?
00:04:55.720 How much did you pay for it?
00:04:57.460 I don't remember.
00:04:59.020 No, I was thinking about it.
00:05:01.940 I didn't donate, but I think...
00:05:03.320 No, no, no, not donate.
00:05:05.080 How much did you buy the mat for?
00:05:06.760 No, no, it was zero.
00:05:07.900 Are you sure?
00:05:09.000 Are you sure you're saying that because we paid you to say that?
00:05:11.880 Or is it because it's free?
00:05:13.940 No.
00:05:14.420 No, it was free.
00:05:15.560 It was free, but obviously...
00:05:17.240 Because it's the language value, isn't it?
00:05:18.460 No, no, the problem is...
00:05:19.140 She was asking how much she donated.
00:05:20.780 It's for free, yeah?
00:05:21.440 No, it was the donation, like...
00:05:23.180 Yeah, it's for free.
00:05:24.800 Yeah, this is free.
00:05:25.500 Exactly.
00:05:25.820 Total free.
00:05:26.220 Yes, exactly.
00:05:26.800 so subhanallah the mat is for free the one-to-one salah instructors we have is for free the app is
00:05:32.120 for free the hubs are for free brothers and sisters the reason it's for free is because of
00:05:36.080 your sadaqah jariah donations that we can serve people like sister fatima her children generations
00:05:41.160 to come inshallah and her father inshallah as a born muslim do you not think because it's easy
00:05:46.320 for someone who's born your family teaches you the importance why is it so important for us to help
00:05:51.020 this because this project is not just for rivers we also teach muslims who don't know how to pray
00:05:55.100 so what why do you think it's important for people to have these resources would you say
00:05:59.820 um first of all i'll say salam alaikum to to everyone watching um well um i have just
00:06:09.100 few things to say um so to be honest with you um born a muslim for me obviously was
00:06:16.300 really really easy because um i got to learn everything when i was when i was younger
00:06:21.100 but then um growing up obviously um when i first met my wife um you know i have to teach her
00:06:28.380 because i didn't know there's anything like this you know would have been much easier for me back
00:06:33.340 then but then i have to teach her you know everything but then when her dad obviously
00:06:39.580 tried to um to to begin to learn about islam okay that's where i understood the importance of this
00:06:47.980 mark okay so because we live in london and then he lives in italy okay so it made up it made our
00:06:54.460 life very very easy so because she has to um take this back to him and then he has to just read it
00:07:01.180 follow the instructions so for example that's just an example of hey dad okay imagine there are
00:07:07.340 millions and other you know thousands of people you know river that might be struggling you know
00:07:13.100 i'm talking specifically for the river that might be struggling obviously to
00:07:17.740 to to to to pray you know how to pray how to do correctly um but there is nothing like this you
00:07:24.220 know so this is there for for people like them you know so it's really really uh an amazing thing
00:07:31.100 okay and especially being for free makes it even much much better okay um just give you just a
00:07:37.900 small scenario okay so i have a friend um in america okay um and he has another friend so i
00:07:45.900 get to meet them last year and um so my friend friend is now a river he lives in a different
00:07:52.860 state in america and um it's so it's so difficult for him because he's just by himself so actually
00:08:00.540 because of this thing is for free and now obviously i get to know this i would really
00:08:04.700 really recommend to get one and i can send it to him yes because he's just by himself and it's
00:08:09.980 have you got one or should you give me one now um yeah maybe on my way yeah yeah he's struggling
00:08:15.900 to to not to pray and stuff like that so i would say um my personal opinion um is really really a
00:08:22.540 nice thing and um you know all the instructions make it so easy um and i'll recommend to some of
00:08:27.820 the muslims as well because we think we know everything we know how to pray um and and and
00:08:34.940 and and this obviously simplifies a lot of things so um and only that it's not only that if you want
00:08:39.820 videos we've got the salah pro app you can watch videos on how to pray how to do we'll do how to
00:08:43.740 do tayama and the mat is for free brown sisters you can even attend our salah hubs we work with
00:08:48.300 mosques across uh the country and in europe where you can attend weekly lessons that's sponsored by
00:08:53.180 may allah bless you uh okay inshallah oh that was some good news italian sample say wallah
00:09:00.460 allahu akbar you're lucky hey so we've got so so span allah we sent three and a half thousand italian
00:09:06.140 to italy in italian into one of our salah hubs there which are distributing across italy that
00:09:11.580 would just manage to hunt down and find italian so that's for your friend inshallah and we need
00:09:16.300 one more for his friend in america brown sisters support the project inshallah today we're trying
00:09:20.940 to hit the two hundred thousand pound mark if there is someone watching this who has the means
00:09:25.500 of giving five ten thousand pounds you've seen the proof in the pudding go to the link and find
00:09:30.220 more information where your money is going to be going and where it has been gone so guys till
