F*** that, I'm gonna to land it right now.

Bullshit you are.

You okay?

Turn that sh*t off for a second.

Oh, sure.

Listen man.

Next Friday, we're holding jumauh prayer

and we're gonna do it right at the house.

Are you serious?

Yeah, I'm serious.

Jehangir, who would come?

These Muslims y'akhi.

The ones who don't quite fit in

at the Muslim center picnics.

The boys who miss their prayers.

The girls who date behind

their parents backs.

The ones who ask too many

questions during Saturday school.

I can't believe Umar's allowing this.

At the end of the day

he'd rather see this than another party.

And you know y'akhi, deep down even Umar knows

he doesn't quite fit in at the masjid any more.

What do you think they see

when he walks in the door?

What about an imam?

Don't we need somebody to lead this?

That's the best part.

It is said in the Quran that Allah

spoke directly to the virgin Mary.

It is said that she was instructed

to teach Islam to her people.

She was told that something was going to

happen and that thing did indeed happen.

And do you know what that sounds like to me?

It sounds like the virgin Mary was a prophet of Islam.

So, why do we not consider her one?

She wasn't given a scripture but

I say that her book was her son.

So that's my khutbah.

Let's pray.

Takbir!

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.

As'salaamu alaikum, Yusef.

Wa alaikum as-salaam Abu.

How are your classes?

Still straight A's?

Yes Abu, al'hamdulilah.

How are your housemates? They keeping you in the dean?

You reading your namaz regularly?

Yes, Yes Abu.

Al-Hamdulilah.

Oh, peace.

Hello.

Hi, I'm Lynn, I'm a friend of Fasiq's.

I'm Yusef.

Nice to meet you.

Is he here?

Is who here?

Fasiq.

I don't know.

I think I don't think so actually.

That sucks, I just thought

I'd try and say hi.

Lynn!

- Jehangir!

- Salaam, how are you?

So what's the good word?

I'm just out for a jog.

You don't come around much?

I know. I've just been super

busy with summer classes.

But I hear you guys are

having Friday prayer now.

Yeaheveryone's taking turns leading.

It's beautiful, you gotta come out.

Oh yeah? Totally, I'm there.

Well, um, I better get back to

running but I'll see you guys soon.

Yeah, insh'Allah

- bye.

- Salaam sister.

Wa alaikum as-salaam.

What

Look at this.

I've got Omar's keys. Beer run?

You're frightening me!

You're crazy.

You give it a shot man.

Give what a shot?

Come on, yell something.

What?

Come on.

Here, up ahead. That old dude.

- What? No.

- Come on, don't be afraid.

Okay, okay. Uh.

Hurry up, hurry!

You make me really nervous!

What'd the guy do?

I don't think he understood

what's going on.
