[0:07][Music] alham [Music] [Music] [Music] mamam [Music] [Music] yeah [Music] [Music] ABD

[1:59]y caral [Music] [Music] for [Music] last night we started our series

[3:15]titled the Triple A of Islam a for jur the theology beliefs

[3:25]a for ethics and manners and a foram Juris Prudence the laws

[3:31]and we started our discussion by stating an excerpt from the sermon

[3:37]of Imam Hussein when he was about to leave from Mecca and

[3:42]among the things he said in that sermon is whoever is ready

[3:52]to sacrifice his life for us and has prepared himself to meeting

[4:04]his Lord then let him join us so he set two criteria

[4:12]one who is ready to sacrifice his life for us that's one

[4:16]criteria second is what he has prepared himself to meeting his Lord

[4:26]then let him come and join us it is those two criteria

[4:31]and we mentioned if you remember people's response to this call fell

[4:39]under five categories those who wanted to kill the IM people like

[4:46]ya and those leaders the leaders and the commanders who wanted to

[4:53]kill him then you had the other group who were the followers

[4:56]of the leaders those are the followers you have leaders and you

[5:04]have followers they just follow because the leader said so they follow

[5:07]it and on the day of judgment Allah says on the day

[5:16]of judgment those who were the leaders those who are being followed

[5:19]will disassociate themselves from the followers that's what will happen on the

[5:24]day of judgment and we mentioned some of those who were followers

[5:32]some of them like even sympathized with IM Hussein they kind of

[5:37]felt sympathies towards him but they're Following the Leader said kill him

[5:41]they went ahead and they joined the army and they killed him

[5:46]this is the second group the third group if you remember it

[5:49]was the group that did not want to kill him nor support

[5:55]him and they gave excuses some of them said we're not ready

[5:58]to die yet some of them said we have children we have

[6:03]families we have to take care of so they gave excuses to

[6:05]them these were legitimate excuses you know I have kids I have

[6:08]families I have so and so so they left the IM and

[6:13]they went that's the third category the third group they did not

[6:15]want to support the IM nor did they want to go and

[6:20]kill him that's the third group the fourth group if you remember

[6:24]what was the fourth group do you remember the fourth group who

[6:29]was the fourth group those who supported the IM they came with

[6:33]him some people came with the IM inala even fought next to

[6:39]the IM they fought but he was not ready to get killed

[6:44]when he saw all the companions have died he made an agreement

[6:51]with the Imam in Prior when all your companions die I will

[6:55]leave abdah so when that happened he was not ready to die

[7:03]he fought next to the IM but when it came to the

[7:12]final decision of sacrifice he couldn't do it he withdrew and then

[7:16]came the fifth group those were the people who were ready they

[7:21]were ready to sacrifice themselves for they're ready to give their lives

[7:34]they are prepared they prepared to meeting Allah subhah wa taala that

[7:41]was the fifth group those are Companions of the IM and the

[7:45]who died with him supported him and were ready to be killed

[7:50]it means brothers and sisters these this group this group had two

[7:55]attributes one they had conviction ition in Allah subhanahu waala they had

[8:03]conviction to sacrifice themselves for the pleasure of Allah and for the

[8:09]IM with full conviction and recognition as he [Music] said when they

[8:19]sacrifice for the IM please the IM they're pleasing who Allah subhah

[8:24]that's one thing but did that just come out of vanity that

[8:32]preparation that conviction came out of vanity no he's been working he's

[8:45]been working for years to prepare himself for this moment these companions

[8:50]those 72 give or take plus the 18 of did not just

[8:57]come out of vanity from vacuum all of the sudden and they

[9:00]jumped with the IM there was some training some preparation in advance

[9:08]even even those who switch sides in the day of like there

[9:15]were some prior issues and events that happened that prepared them for

[9:21]this day it didn't just happen out of vanity we want inshallah

[9:24]to be one of those people we read in the Z then

[9:33]what I wish I was with you to win to have this

[9:39]great Victory brothers and sisters we don't want these just to be

[9:41]words that we utter and then we turn our face and then

[9:45]Kal we do whatever we want it means we have to do

[9:50]some preparation there is some preparation that we need to engage with

[9:54]and therefore tonight if Allah gives us we will discuss a self

[10:01]and self discipline our discussion tonight will be in three points the

[10:08]first point is what is the NS when we say the self

[10:12]what is it what is the ne that's one second why is

[10:18]it important to discipline the self and third how can we discipline

[10:21]ourselves these are three discussions inshallah tonight first what is the NS

[10:30]the human being brothers and sisters apparently has three aspects to him

[10:36]this is from the Islamic perspective there is the physical materialistic aspect

[10:41]the body then we have the r the soul and then there

[10:50]is the nefs okay the JM the body is physical anything that's

[10:55]physical materialistic anything that's confined in time and space is a cre

[11:00]creation of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that goes through stages of development

[11:05]progression for example when the when a human being is born is

[11:09]he born as an adult no he's born as a child a

[11:13]baby slowly he goes through stages of development until he reaches adulthood

[11:18]and then even that continues until he reaches for example old age

[11:22]we're constantly changing progressing and it takes time A tree doesn't become

[11:29]a tree overnight you put a seed and over time it grows

[11:34]slowly to become a tree so when it comes to Creation it

[11:39]takes time it's a process and Allah refers to this he says

[11:43]that he created he created the skies the heavens and the Earth

[11:54]in six stages a here means stages six stages so cre creation

[12:00]takes time it takes stages progression that's soul and navs apparently they

[12:11]are a different kind of creation they do not go through stages

[12:15]they are just created from the beginning it is created as a

[12:21]it does not grow the NS is created as a NS it

[12:26]does not grow that's it it's created Allah says the Quran he

[12:34]says what is am command what is the command so when it's

[12:45]a matter of command of Allah it happens our Command happens instantaneously

[13:07]what it is of the command it's not it's a creation of

[13:12]Allah but it does not go through the process of progression it's

[13:15]created instantaneously that's the same thing with the he made it Allah

[13:29]makes the NS so then what is the difference between and the

[13:32]Quran has several definitions of I don't have time to go through

[13:38]all all of them today but very briefly I will touch upon

[13:40]it R refers to life life but life comes in different forms

[13:48]for example you have the materialistic life the life I'm going to

[13:58]create a human being from clay when I make him and I

[14:10]blow of my soul my soul Allah doesn't have a soul by

[14:13]the way what is my soul here means the soul of life

[14:18]one of the attributes of Allah is the living means ever living

[14:27]Allah gives that life that part you know attribute to the human

[14:30]being and giving him a life that's what it means otherwise Allah

[14:32]does not have a life a soul sorry a soul like you

[14:36]and I do he is ever existing Eternal he's ever living not

[14:42]like you and I we were non-existence and then we came into

[14:45]existence so when I give him the r then you do to

[14:50]him that is referring to Adam so the r the self is

[14:57]of the command of Allah and they were both created instantaneously unlike

[15:02]the body and the other creations of Allah that are materialistic they

[15:06]take time to progress and form refers to life life could be

[15:13]in the physical sense life could be in the spiritual sense spiritual

[15:17]sense Allah says we supported through the spirit or the soul of

[15:29]of guidance that's the guides Isa and the Allah guides their Allah

[15:38]guides them through his soul what is that Soul Allah subhana T

[15:45]sends some guidance to the the Believers Allah guides them what so

[15:52]life generally speaking from the Quran although it has different perspective Ives

[16:00]but the essential meaning is the soul is Life Soul gives life

[16:07]brings life nafs however nafs has Dimensions nafs is what connects the

[16:15]human being Between Heaven and the Earth and therefore it has facets

[16:22]it has Dimensions Allah subhana wa ta'ala refers to three facets in

[16:29]the Quran explicitly of the nafs one facet [Music] is there is

[16:44]an evil commanding self it commands evil you know sometimes maybe you've

[16:49]seen some cartoons in some cartoons when a person wants to do

[16:53]something bad you'll hear two two voices you know you'll see two

[17:00]two figure is coming up one that tells him don't do it

[17:01]this is bad and usually they have kind of a ring on

[17:06]top of that person you know and then the other person says

[17:10]no do it do it do the bad thing you see the

[17:12]those two voices in in essence there is such a thing there

[17:17]is these Whispers there is these Whispers of the self of the

[17:24]Naps The nafs Whispers this is different from Shan don't confuse it

[17:28]with Shan that's your yourself what do I mean by this think

[17:31]about it brothers and sisters when Allah created Adam refused to do

[17:36]suud to Adam correct now we we the humans sometimes when we

[17:42]do something bad we say oh he tempted me the Shan tempted

[17:48]me to do this bad thing right who was there to tempt

[17:52]himself why did refuse to do sujud to Adam he himself himself

[18:02]refused to do sujud to Adam his evil commanding self refused to

[18:08]do sujud to Adam that's what made him fail in the test

[18:10]we also have that kind of Dimension that evil commanding San is

[18:16]weak when you are strong cannot have much power over you all

[18:24]thatan does comes and knocks the door you open the door who

[18:31]opens the door if you don't open the door then he can't

[18:34]do much the analogy some of the give is like a garbage

[18:40]garbage with a tight lid on it as long as the lid

[18:45]is tight you don't see any flies roaming around it because they

[18:49]cannot smell anything the minute you open the lid and they can

[18:52]smell it now now what happens all the Flies start hovering around

[18:58]it that's how it is your as long as you have it

[19:04]tightly controlled Shan cannot come around you the the god conscious people

[19:17]Shan comes and roams around them he goes around them he cannot

[19:23]go into them he goes around but they immediately remember Allah subhana

[19:28]wa ta'ala and hence he has no power you see that that's

[19:33]the evil commanding self it command us to do evil to do

[19:42]bad things to disobey Allah to forget about Allah that's the second

[19:48]one is what is this is what people refer to as your

[19:59]conscious have you ever well you are all inshallah you know alhamdulillah

[20:07]we're all mine here but if somebody has ever done something that

[20:10]he was not supposed to do do you ever remember feeling guilty

[20:13]immediately you feel guilty immediately you feel guilty when someone does something

[20:19]that he should not have done something that he disobeys Allah subhana

[20:23]tala disobeys one's parents that guilt feeling what where does that come

[20:28]from that's a mechanism Allah has put into the human being to

[20:31]put him back on the it's your guilt your conscience tells you

[20:38]why did you do this why this is wrong it's do so

[20:44]it reminds us to say to repent that's a and interestingly Allah

[20:56]says what's relationship between the day of judgment and the conscious what

[21:05]that makes you feel guilty some of the say they both are

[21:09]places of judgment they both are places on the day of judgment

[21:13]we'll be judged day of judgment you'll be judged and your conscience

[21:19]also judges you and hence it makes you feel guilty that's why

[21:22]that's a relationship the connection between the two ay that's your second

[21:32]one it's your conscience it's your guilt feeling that reminds you to

[21:37]go back to the to go back to doing the right thing

[21:41]the third one is what is this this is the one that's

[21:58]always in the Obedience of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala it always obeys

[22:03]Allah it has trained itself and disciplined itself to always listen to

[22:09]Allah not to listen to its desires and therefore the of say

[22:14]there are three driving forces for the human being some say four

[22:22]but some say three the first one is desire your desire why

[22:25]do you eat because you have a desire to eat why do

[22:29]you sleep because you have a desire to sleep why do people

[22:34]have children for example they have a desire to see children and

[22:37]to have many children and to see grandchildren and so on so

[22:42]forth that's a desire that's a Shah second anger anger is the

[22:48]second driving force why do people fight in battles and Wars because

[22:52]they get angry anger is a good thing as long as it's

[22:54]controlled if it's not controlled it can create disaster Master that's anger

[23:01]the third one is your intellect your intellect is the reason why

[23:10]we do certain things in The Obedience of Allah for example these

[23:14]days is early in the morning it's about 3:30 in the morning

[23:19]let's say you set your alarm at 3:30 the alarm goes off

[23:23]you wake up your desire tells you you're crazy I'm tired I

[23:30]want to sleep go back to sleep snooze hit the snooze button

[23:33]that's what your desire tells you your however tells you what get

[23:40]up I want to pray to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala I will

[23:45]get up and I'll pray to Allah now here you're having a

[23:48]battle between those two there's a battle now taking place the good

[23:51]and the bad the good guy the good cop and the bad

[23:55]cop as they say who will prevail will will you get up

[24:00]and pray your Salat or will you succumb and submit to your

[24:04]desire who will prevail that's what tells us whether or not we

[24:09]are ready we're preparing ourself that's the thing the same question happens

[24:15]to us on a daily basis multiple times a person asks you

[24:24]a question you are now thinking should I answer him honestly or

[24:27]should I lie if I lie I will be saved but if

[24:32]I answer honestly I might be consequence what am I going to

[24:34]do yourself your desire says lie save yourself but your says no

[24:42]don't lie say the truth speak the truth it's better to be

[24:47]truthful of course under certain circumstances we're not talking about here where

[24:52]your life is on the guillotine for example and so on so

[24:55]forth that's a separate story we're talking about General C circumstances somebody

[25:00]says a word to you that angers you many people what do

[25:04]they respond they erupt like a man a volcano in their faces

[25:09]you say one word to me I'll say 10 words back to

[25:14]you unfortunately isn't that how many of our divorces happen unfortunately many

[25:19]cases when people come to me for divorce it is this problem

[25:22]he says the wife said this and then the husband said that

[25:27]and then the wife comes back and then the goes back and

[25:28]so on so forth until it escalates to the point where there

[25:34]is no reconciliation again whereas when that word is being said at

[25:39]you if you hold back and say wait let me think here

[25:44]what should I say should I answer back angerly or should I

[25:47]hold back and calm that's what your is now working your intellect

[25:54]tells you hold back wait wait wait don't respond instantaneously wait they

[25:59]in fact in fact in Psychology they call it the 10 seconds

[26:04]rule they call it the 10 seconds rule that's what psychologists refer

[26:07]to as they say when you get angry don't respond instantaneously wait

[26:12]wait for 10 seconds and then answer Subhan Allah this is what

[26:17]psychologists today say that's what said 1400 years ago one day IM

[26:26]Ali was walking withar his servant a man said an insult an

[26:30]insulting word to Kar his servant Kar became angry he wanted to

[26:38]respond back IMI said wait don't answer wait he is trying to

[26:44]provoke you the best respon for him is no response ignore him

[26:50]ignore him and that will infuriate him even more or it will

[26:56]just calm him down and he'll come and apologize he says a

[27:11]bad word to you you just calm down you say for example

[27:18]you just calm down don't respond that will take if he has

[27:25]some wisdom in his brain he will come and apologize he says

[27:28]I'm sorry about what I said earlier he will apologize to you

[27:32]so you can control the whole situation A man comes to Al

[27:38]IM and he calls him his name is he calls him IM

[27:47]looks at him he says I'm not what you're calling me he

[27:55]says I am means the one who's well versed in knowledge he

[28:01]really ripped knowledge apart split knowledge that's how knowledgeable he is he

[28:06]called then he insulted the im's mother he insulted the im's mother

[28:14]now sometimes people will have tolerance for themselves but the mother that's

[28:20]too much IM looks at him and says if she was as

[28:23]you say as you claim may Allah forgive her but if she's

[28:28]not as what you claim then may Allah forgive you this man

[28:38]then came and apologized and kissed the im's hand when he saw

[28:43]his great his great maners and he said God knows whom he

[28:51]chooses to carry his message you see that Spirit brothers and sisters

[28:55]that's when you use your so what are the driving forces the

[29:01]driving forces are the intellect the desire and the anger these are

[29:04]most of the human there is a fourth Force I'll mention it

[29:08]briefly they say it is the imagination Force the force of imagination

[29:11]but that one is more of a hindering Force as opposed to

[29:17]a driving force what does that mean imagination I don't know if

[29:22]it's ever happened to you guys sometimes you walk you decide to

[29:25]take a walk in at night you say let me go for

[29:29]a walk at night then you walk it's a bit dark out

[29:32]there and you look back and it's like I don't know if

[29:34]there's something behind me someone is coming after me you start looking

[29:36]behind you start you know Wonder there's nothing behind you you're just

[29:39]imagining so sometimes you'll be like you know and then you start

[29:46]running someone ask you why are you running says I think there's

[29:48]something be you're imagining there is not there this is not desire

[29:50]this is not anger this is not intellect this is Imagination so

[29:55]sometimes that imagination but it is more of a hindering Force as

[30:00]opposed to a driving force nonetheless it is also there as well

[30:03]so these are some of the forces so now we understand inshallah

[30:07]a basic understanding of what is the nafs the nafs is a

[30:14]creation of Allah subhana wa taala that was created instantaneously without going

[30:19]through processes of progression and development like the body same thing as

[30:24]the r r was also created instantaneously but the Naps is different

[30:31]from the r naps has facets the self has facets there is

[30:34]the facet that drives us to disobey Allah there is the facet

[30:40]that makes us feel guilty and brings us back to the track

[30:42]of obedience and there is the facet where the intellect is always

[30:45]in charge and it guides you to the so far so good

[30:52]inshallah all that is good so this is the navs Allah subhah

[30:58]wa ta'ala also reveals to to the Allah gave it it gave

[31:05]it some kind of power of understanding recognition it knows what is

[31:13]good and what is bad that's why when somebody lies regardless of

[31:16]whether he's a mmin or not a mmin he'll feel bad he

[31:22]knows this is lying when somebody is unfair unjust oppresses somebody else

[31:27]he knows he's oppressor oppressive and it's not it's not a good

[31:32]thing no Tyrant no tyrant in history calls himself a tyrant have

[31:37]you seen all the dictators in the world nobody will say I'm

[31:41]a dictator they all say they all give justification say no I'm

[31:44]a just person when he in the deep inside knows he's a

[31:46]dictator but they don't why because it's not good to call himself

[31:52]a dictator he knows this inherently he knows it's bad to oppress

[31:56]people to lie to people to cheat people to deceive all these

[32:01]are [Applause] standards successful is the one who purifies himself himself and

[32:18]a wicked a loser is the one who makes it Wicked always

[32:22]follows his desire that takes us to the next Point why is

[32:28]it important then to take care of ourself and discipline ourself because

[32:42]successful is he the one who disciplines himself in The Obedience of

[32:51]Allah and a loser is he who does not discipline himself by

[32:56]the way brother and sisters interestingly discipline self-discipline is something that is

[33:04]praised even in Psychology today psychologists today they talk about self-discipline in

[33:11]a very positive way for example one of the psychologists her name

[33:20]is Denise fornier Denise fornier published an article in Psychology today in

[33:31]January of this year she says why Discipline matters and five ways

[33:34]to work on it yeah Discipline matters she says if you're looking

[33:41]to for ways to become more successful improve your relationships or feel

[33:47]more satisfied with your life and so on so forth what do

[33:50]you have to do discipline yourself you want to be successful you

[33:53]have to discipline yourself you want to have more satisfaction with your

[33:59]life you got to discipline yourself so it's important to have self-discipline

[34:05]for Success another psychologist her name is Davis Dr Davis she says

[34:09]she defines or she quotes a professor by the name of Angela

[34:13]Duckworth who says the ability to suppress prepotent responses in the service

[34:21]of a higher goal that's what discipline is you discipline you suppress

[34:26]pre potent responses in the service of a higher goal yeah you

[34:33]want to achieve a higher goal in life you got to have

[34:36]some disciplin and such a choice is not automatic but rather requires

[34:44]conscious effort you have to train yourself to become disciplined he's prep

[34:58]prepared himself yeah you got to prepare yourself the IM is pointing

[35:04]to this what this psychologist and mentioning in 2023 IM Hussein mentioned

[35:10]it 1400 years ago you want to be with us you have

[35:14]to have discipline and to have discipline you have to put in

[35:17]effort you got to be conscious yeah you have to prepare yourself

[35:20]why is that important discipline because it gives you success in D

[35:24]it gives you success like they say the psych olist are saying

[35:29]you want to have success in you have to have some discipline

[35:31]you talk to many students for example you tell them do you

[35:37]like to study most of them would say no most students would

[35:40]say I don't like to study but the successful students what do

[35:49]they do they discipline themselves to study they teach themselves they train

[35:52]themselves to stud because they know that studying is important and that

[35:55]would lead me to success you cannot attain High degrees without much

[36:02]effort you can't just sit back and succeed so you have to

[36:09]put in discipline for us as followers of success is not just

[36:14]in the materialistic context in this worldly context but also in what

[36:20]in the Hereafter Allah says the human will not attain but what

[36:26]he Liv for and he will see the fruit of his effort

[36:32]you want to put effort in you will see your fruit you

[36:37]will put your effort in the you will see the fruit plus

[36:43]brothers and sisters people who do not discipline themselves people who do

[36:48]not discipline themselves it could lead to miserable consequences miserable conse consequences

[37:00]one day zi zi was mu's governor on kuf he comes to

[37:12]the Masjid to pray in MJ kuf one person takes a pebble

[37:15]a pebble and he throws it at him when the pebble hits

[37:23]him what does he do zi the governor of mua on kufa

[37:28]he tells his guards shut down the doors of Masjid Alfa close

[37:32]the doors they Clos the doors he said everyone who's in the

[37:35]Masjid cut off their hands everyone now one person was the person

[37:41]who threw it he punished everybody he punished everybody a similar incident

[37:52]brothers and sisters a similar incident happened to Malik IM Ali's Comm

[37:58]Commander when when he was the commander of IM Ali's Army when

[38:01]he was the commander today you call him the Minister of Defense

[38:06]a minister of defense he's walking on the streets of kufa a

[38:10]person who does not recognize him a person who used to have

[38:16]a date shop he was he ate one of the dates and

[38:18]he took the pit and he wanted to have fun so he

[38:22]threw it at Malik it hit Malik as Malik did not even

[38:27]turned his face to see who hit him he continued walking this

[38:31]person's neighbor his neighbor he told him what did you just do

[38:35]do you know who you just hit he said no I'm just

[38:37]having fun who is he he said this is Malik IM Ali's

[38:42]commander who did you mess with this guy if he takes his

[38:47]sword he'll kill you he said my goodness what have I done

[38:50]so he ran after Malik searching for him he finds him in

[38:55]M kuf praying so he stands there when he finished his Sal

[38:57]he comes to him and says Malik I'm sorry I apologize I

[39:02]did not recognize you it was a mistake please forgive me blah

[39:05]blah blah Malik looks at him and says you know I was

[39:10]not planning to come to masj kuf I had something to do

[39:15]but when someone hit me with the pit of the date I

[39:16]did not even want to see who it was I came to

[39:24]to pray to ask Allah to forgive the person who hit Meb

[39:36]not only did I forgive you I wanted Allah to forgive you

[39:41]this is a student of IM Ali this is not IM Ali

[39:47]a student of IM Ali Malik was not a he was like

[39:51]you and I how did he manage to discipline himself to that

[39:54]level you see that self- discipline when person does not have such

[40:00]discipline he can become like Z killing and killing and killing millions

[40:08]of people those tyrants we see in the world today how do

[40:12]they become tyrants because there's no discipline they just want to do

[40:15]whatever their desire wishes for they want power that person who came

[40:21]to the White House and took millions and billions of dollars I

[40:25]remember I was reading that person in the white house if you

[40:29]remember the one who used to say a lot of false things

[40:33]and he used to go golfing it is said that his golfing

[40:38]I remember in the last year when he was in office few

[40:40]years ago the last year I read in the New York Times

[40:45]it is said his golfing his golfing cost taxpayers $100 million taxpayers

[40:53]paid $100 million for him to go golfing even though he's a

[41:02]billionaire why doesn't he pay for him for his golfing 100 billion

[41:06]how many poor people could have been fed in the US leave

[41:09]alone other countries in the United States they say 33% of people

[41:16]in the US live under the poverty line yeah they don't have

[41:22]food for their dinner one in six children in the United States

[41:26]out hung one and six in the US well and you have

[41:33]a president who spends $100 million on Gulf you see that when

[41:37]there is no limit on the desire that's what some of the

[41:40]consequences you'll have whereas IM what does he say he says I

[41:53]tame myself with God consciousness so it's important to discipline oneself because

[42:03]it will attain success in and in the and it will be

[42:06]good for the society at large when people are disciplined people will

[42:14]have more tolerance more respect more kindness more compassion when they have

[42:17]that kind of discipline that's why it's important to have self-discipline third

[42:22]and we'll touch upon this quickly inshallah how can we introduce self-discipline

[42:32]to ourselves here brothers and sisters I want to give you an

[42:39]analogy an example let's say they take a healthy person a healthy

[42:43]person who's never trained he's not an athletic person they take him

[42:47]and they tell him we want you to run a 10k race

[42:55]10K now now first of all he'll say why why would you

[43:01]I want to run the 10K the first step is you got

[43:05]to convince him why he has to run the 10K so you

[43:07]got to give him the incentives for example you can say if

[43:10]you win the race you can win for example $20,000 like oh

[43:16]$20,000 to run a 10k race that's a good incentive now he

[43:21]accepts the reason why he should run the race before that he

[43:27]would have never run the race without him being convinced as to

[43:31]why it's important to run the race he would not run so

[43:35]the first step is to do what to convince the person you

[43:39]got to convince him a person for example is put in a

[43:45]prison God forbid he's put in a prison and he faces difficult

[43:49]times in the prison but they tell him listen you run a

[43:52]10k race in one hour we'll free you what's he gonna do

[43:58]yeah I'm ready let me go do it so the first step

[44:05]is the conviction you have to convince the individual why it's important

[44:08]to run the race whether it is to earn your freedom whether

[44:12]it is to win $20,000 whether it is for example publicity whatever

[44:15]it is that's the first step Second Step the person psychologically has

[44:25]to tell himself I am able to do this because if he

[44:28]tells himself oh no way if he becomes a quitter what's going

[44:33]to happen he's not going to do it so psychologically he has

[44:36]to tell himself that I am able to run this race that's

[44:40]a second step third brothers and sisters if you take him and

[44:43]you dump him on the race and you tell him run the

[44:46]10K will he be able to do it immediately from day one

[44:51]what does he have to do train train train and there will

[44:55]be times when he will say you know this is hard but

[44:57]the discipline part no no I can do it I can do

[45:02]it he will continue then what does he have to do somebody

[45:05]has to time him and he has to monitor the first day

[45:10]he runs for example it takes him for example 3 hours to

[45:14]run 10K then he says well what do I have to do

[45:16]a little bit more training more training and he continues then he

[45:20]they time him okay now you're down to two hours good you're

[45:23]achieving your goal of 1 hour for example so that is the

[45:27]persistence and the monitoring similarly to change brothers and sisters the scholars

[45:34]of and ethics they say there are requirements the first is the

[45:38]conviction for the need to change you have to tell yourself I

[45:43]want to be among the companions of imin or he comes and

[45:51]knocks on my door don't we always say oh Allah make us

[45:59]among his companions help us to be with him okay he comes

[46:02]tomorrow and he says come with me we don't want to be

[46:06]like those people who say oh I have a mortgage I have

[46:07]family I have things I can't come with you I'm sorry I'm

[46:11]sorry uh we don't want to do be like we want to

[46:14]go it means we have to train ourselves so we have to

[46:19]change second we have to tell ourselves that we are able that's

[46:22]what the say it means you determine to yourself psychologically this is

[46:30]what they call positive thinking positively you think about this to yourself

[46:36]there is a scholar he's a professor of philosophy he says that

[46:41]his name is Dr tomasulo Dr tomasulo at Columbia University how can

[46:50]psychological Capital strengthen your mind in an article he published of February

[46:54]of this year psychological Capital what does that mean he says you

[46:59]think to yourself you tell yourself I can do it I can

[47:04]do this and I will do it there is a from along

[47:07]these lines which says whatever you determine to do you will do

[47:14]it you'll do it there is a blind man a blind man

[47:19]who climbed Mount Everest blind man he climbed Mount Everest he made

[47:23]it all the way to the top how did he do it

[47:25]he had the determination yeah had the deter he said I can

[47:29]do it and he did it so that's the determination to change

[47:35]second You observe yourself you monitor yourself how well am I doing

[47:42]how well am I doing third is you have to be consistent

[47:49]consistent so brothers and sisters good ways to change are holding on

[48:02]to theat whatever is W do it your Salat today if you

[48:06]if we ask ourselves a question all of us today how many

[48:11]of us prayed all our Salat on time and or did we

[48:17]delay it today what about yesterday when we prayed our Salah today

[48:21]do you remember were you concentrating in the Salat or you did

[48:26]not even know what you were praying that's the discipline that we

[48:30]need to add to ourselves so hold on to the what's hold

[48:36]on to it second do the the must the must what is

[48:48]if you can tonight after there's a called try to pray if

[48:57]you can night pray you can pray it after you don't have

[49:00]to wait until or before after try to do these the and

[49:11]the we have a from that says this from from Allah a

[49:36]servant does not come closer to me than what something that I

[49:42]have obligated upon him and I love to see him doing the

[49:47]obligations fasting hij Sal these areat do them Allah says I love

[49:56]that what else what he gets closer even to me through the

[50:04]recommend actions not the waj the recommendations until I love him then

[50:10]when I love him I become the ears with which he hears

[50:16]the eyes with which he sees the tongue with which he speaks

[50:21]and whatever he calls me for I will give him and you

[50:27]want your duas to be accepted Allah to love you you can

[50:33]do it it just requires practice practice and practice to discipline ourselves

[50:37]we need to start with theat refrain from the and try to

[50:43]do as much of the as possible when we forget do say

[50:51]such a way inshallah will be among the companions of Al IM

[50:56]Al Hussein self [Music] discipline on the second day of muharam like

[51:04]tomorrow IM Hussein arrives inala after having met he arrives inala with
