[speaking in foreign language]And I was a Muslim.
12:07
I was going to my barber.

I remember I was at my barber.
12:10
I was saying like, "Hey, isn't it prayer time? It's like Duhur right now, right?" He was like, "Yes, but uh..." He was like, "Are you Muslim already?" I said, I said, "No, but I try to pray five times a day because I, I feel peaceful with it, and I'm pretty close," I said.
12:24
"I'm really pretty close." Then he asked me something which was the thing maybe that I needed at that time.
12:30
He said, "What if you would die tomorrow?" Or, "What if you would die today? Are you dying as a Muslim, or are you dying as a non-Muslim?" And, uh, subhanallah, that's, uh, really made me think, and I, I didn't ha- got an answer at, to that at that time, but on my way home after I went to the barber, I was really asking myself, "Yeah, what am, what am I dying? How am I dying? Where do I go?" I mean, death is the best reminder sometimes, and, uh, I remember, I giving my friends a call on my way home saying, "Tomorrow let's take Mashhad.
13:01
I, I wanna do it.
