Good. So, we'll discuss actually ... So far we've had a few sessions on how to prevent the 13 principles of faith. Now we will discuss actually 13 principles. I think you've waited long enough. And we'll move on to them right now, after these messages, to the first of the 13 articles of faith. If I were fancy, I could have something like 3D props and images here in different colors, but, uh, we're not that fancy, so you'll fancy, so you'll have to take my word for it. But it's written on the back of all the sedars, all the seduras, the prayer books after morning prayers in most prayer books, and the principles of faith are printed there. They are called ani mammons. Aniimmon, which actually means "I believe in the Imam." So, we're going to figure it out, there are 13 of them, and we're going to look at them one by one. A little discussion, a little discussion, a little analysis, some ideas, a little depth that obviously only touches on the surface of the topic, but tries to understand a little more about what it really means. And that's, uh, the summary of what we're going to do. So, first: I believe with full faith that the Creator, that the Creator, blessed is He, Who creates, and He guides, and He governs everything for all creation ; and He alone did, that is, He accomplished, He created, and He continues to create, and He will be the only one who creates everything, every creation, every entity that is, was, and ever will be in the world. So we're going to focus a little bit
