how frightening it was for me to go to a mosque.
00:02:19.660
I don't know if it was going to the right place.
00:02:24.680
where we dedicate ourselves to the two pillar project,
00:02:46.480
And all you have to do is as you're looking down,
00:03:08.580
All we just want to do is teach you how to pray salah
