00:00:00.000 If he was to accept Islam, argument's sake, what would it mean to you?
00:00:06.500 We want to establish an amazing masjid for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in the country of Norway.
00:00:14.160 Click on the link and donate now for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:00:18.920 Well, one question to your mom.
00:00:21.160 If, argument's sake, if he was to accept Islam, argument's sake, what would it mean to you?
00:00:26.140 Like, just hypothetically, if he was to.
00:00:28.660 Yeah, I think the answer to that question will change as I continue on this path and learn more.
00:00:34.260 But right now, today, I would be supportive because I love him and I want what's best for him.
00:00:41.300 And if he's living the right life, like really walking a straight path and doing the right things and staying away from gambling and drugs and alcohol and all the things, I would be supportive.
00:00:50.780 But it would make me sad because for me, you know, my Christianity is becoming such a big part of my life that it's something I want to share with him and I want to experience it with him as a family.
00:01:03.540 And also just, you know, the culturally, you know, people, people will go back hundreds of years and tell me, I know Sicily.
00:01:11.400 Yeah, you know, the Moors are there, whatever. 0.98
00:01:12.740 I'm just talking about the last few generations of my family, the last four or five generations, which is like Italians, Italian, you know, a couple generations ago, they moved to America.
00:01:22.020 So we're just a Sicilian Catholic, you know, rituals and holidays that we celebrate that really are important.
00:01:29.300 And for me, they're in my DNA.
00:01:30.840 And I would feel like he would be then disconnected from his ancestors.
00:01:36.260 And that matters to me because culture, you know, it doesn't matter as much as God, but it does matter.
00:01:41.200 And I think it's really good for humanity for us to have, you know, culture and traditions.
00:01:45.520 So I would struggle.
00:01:46.780 It would hurt me, but not enough to put a rift between us.
00:01:50.420 Like I will let nothing come between us.
00:01:52.220 Yeah.
00:01:52.660 Nice, understandable.
00:01:53.480 Yeah.
00:01:53.800 My mom's always been supportive of me, even though when my dad was really hostile, my mom's always been there.
00:01:58.640 She supported me.
00:01:59.740 Yeah.
00:02:00.140 Yeah.
00:02:00.580 And I don't think his dad would be hostile either.
00:02:02.740 You know, I think his dad would also be kind of like how I am, you know, maybe a little less so, but he would, he would, you know, you've got to make sure.
00:02:09.600 I would have to explain it, obviously.
00:02:12.940 Yeah.
00:02:13.560 And I'm glad.
00:02:14.240 I just hope that you'll explore as you're exploring this, you know, you'll explore, you know, other avenues and really find the one that's right for you.
00:02:21.340 And when you're 19, maybe you are old enough to, you know, you are old enough, but maybe you will come to conclusions now.
00:02:26.760 But this is a journey that may take a while, too.
00:02:29.340 It takes, like you, you've only been, you know, with this all for 10 years.
00:02:33.440 It took me three and a half years.
00:02:34.120 I looked into it three and a half years, like Bible, Islam, different, like it is a journey, yeah. 1.00
00:02:39.160 Yeah.
00:02:39.340 And it's a beautiful journey.
00:02:40.620 I think working, no matter what you end up believing, again, I think that these just may be different paths to the same place.
