00:12There's too many eyes in here right now.
00:13I'm gonna wait a minute, let it clear out,
00:15before I head to the imam's office.
00:17Copy. I'll head into the sister section in a second.
00:20Get eyes on the halaqa.
00:22It's midday, and it's not even Friday.
00:24This is way more crowded than I expected it to be.
00:28Omar, Habibi.
00:29I'm Hisham.
00:31Good. Good to see you in the masjid.
00:36What brings you to Brooklyn?
00:38Cousin's friend is moving to New York.
00:39I told him I'd check out the mosque,
00:41see if the Islamic school has any openings for his kids.
00:43When he comes, give him my number.
00:45I can show him around.
00:46Are you coming over for iftar on Saturday?
00:49I'll try, inshallah.
00:50Good. You should meet my friend's daughter, Sahar.
00:53She just finished her master's degree at Cornell.
00:59I should check out the school.
01:00Okay.
01:05So much for being inconspicuous, though, eh?
01:07It's my uncle's friend. I had no idea he went here.
01:10Is that common for your community?
01:11People trying to set you up?
01:14Yeah.
01:15Like, all the time.
01:20It is funny.
01:21They fear the hijab, yet all their nuns wear hijabs, too.
01:27Are you here for the halakha, sister?
01:28Yes.
01:29Am I late?
01:30That's all right.
01:31We're used to people thinking it's Stacy's standard time.
01:34Take a seat.
01:36Tell us your name.
01:37Where are you from?
01:39Zara.
01:39I am just visiting from Dallas.
01:41Well, we can go to Dallas.
01:42Old man.
01:43I'm from Dallas.
01:43If you haven't left, you can't.
01:44This is my own boss, yeah?
01:45Let's go.
01:45Have a good place.
01:46This is your son.
