[0:00]I believe I believe it has to be a balanced uh approach

[0:03]you need some alone time you need to disconnect sometimes to reflect

[0:06]and you know refreshing yourself but at the same time you want

[0:11]to make sure that you're engaged in society and people are benefiting

[0:15]from the talents and skills that you all [Music] have um brother

[0:25]Ahmed touched upon a very crucial topic um reflection um if you

[0:29]really think about reflection it's very vital and it's crucial especially in

[0:33]our Salah and in our worship the holy prophet says that the

[0:38]one year or one hour of reflection is greater than 70 years

[0:41]of dry worship so you think about this and the prophet why

[0:46]he's trying to tell you is that he doesn't want you to

[0:47]make it a daily routine where you're just doing movements or you're

[0:52]doing R you're coming up he wants you to reflect on this

[0:55]and so um today is a perfect example today is Friday so

[1:02]if you look at in the Holy Quran it says so Allah

[1:21]subhana wa ta'ala he's saying here all people all you who believe

[1:24]when it's called for the prayer on Fridays come to the prayer

[1:28]of Allah and leave your business you can come back to that

[1:31]later because this is more important and then he says in the

[1:35]next verse then go out and seek the blessings of Allah subhana

[1:38]wa tala and he says I think this is very essential because

[1:42]he says and remember Allah often he doesn't say pray often he

[1:47]doesn't say fast often he says remember Allah remembering Allah can be

[1:51]done in many different ways not just in Salah I remember a

[1:54]story from the holy prophet's time where there was this man who

[1:59]used to pray so many so many so many hour it spend

[2:00]so many so much time in the mask so they asked him

[2:05]Yol Allah is this this man prays and he he he's he

[2:09]lasts a long time in his Salah his brother he comes and

[2:11]he prays quickly and he goes he said which one is greater

[2:15]now if you really think about it some people might come and

[2:18]tell you you know what this is the one who prays you

[2:21]know he gives Allah time he's humble in his Salah but Allah

[2:23]subana is to judge not us so he ends up saying Allah

[2:27]says it's the one it's his brother who prays quickly why because

[2:31]he's praying and he's going and seeking a living for his family

[2:35]Imam sadik says the one who provides for his family is like

[2:41]the one who is uh on the front lines in battle like

[2:43]like we have today in Iraq withi and the other um Fighters

[2:48]that are defending their country the one who provides for their family

[2:52]is just like that so I think it's very crucial that we

[2:54]remember Allah often we can get very busy in our lives we

[2:59]got work we got families um so I think it's uh very

[3:02]essential for us to uh remember Allah and um inshallah brother Ahmed

[3:09]if you'd like to add on to that um let's open up

[3:13]to the audience if you guys would like to share any personal

[3:16]opinions about times that you went through where you kind of disconnected

[3:20]from society any benefits that you experienced and how you managed to

[3:25]reconnect I was thinking about you and brother Ali were saying and

[3:43]I realized the best way to disconnect from this world and to

[3:47]join Allah is ironically to reconnect with this world so through you

[3:53]disconnect from this world by reconnecting IM husin even on the last

[3:57]moment he says this world is is like a goes three ways

[4:08]it's the relationship between us and Allah us and people and so

[4:17]includes Allah people and you you can find Allah Mahi says lose

[4:21]yourself in the service of others and he also says at the

[4:24]same time find yourself in the service of others so through serving

[4:27]others as brother Ali said you find Allah subhana wa tala through

[4:32]discovering yourself like the sufis do you also find Allah subhana wa

[4:37]tala and through knowing the value of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala you

[4:40]know the value of the human being that's part of Allah subhanahu

[4:42]wa taala so when we look at the world we need to

[4:47]realize that we must reconnect with the world and like the myc

[4:50]does between each other we must reconnect between each other so that

[4:56]we can uh so that we can find Allah subhana Tal so

[5:02]if you could just Briefly summarize how exactly is reconnecting actually connecting

[5:08]because when we reconnect when I serve the creation of Allah subhanahu

[5:13]wa ta'ala this what's the purpose for example the sufis that say

[5:16]they want to disconnect from the world the purpose is to get

[5:20]closer to Allah everything that we do even Allah says when you

[5:26]don't do I take that we throw it at the wall don't

[5:29]there's no sh you can't say for this to gain closeness to

[5:34]this and Allah we only gain closeness to Allah and Allah why

[5:39]do we have let's say we want to do something uh to

[5:41]get closer to Allah obviously we need the instructions from Allah and

[5:44]Allah says get closer to me you're getting closer to people so

[5:50]when we're reconnecting with the with people we're achieving the goal of

[5:56]those who disconnect so that they reach time um so this good

[6:04]so when you reconnect with people or when you connect with people

[6:09]in general you you you can gain nearness to Allah through that

[6:12]that means right yes the primary source of so generally people disconnect

[6:17]not only to gain nearness to Allah but because they're so immersed

[6:22]in this world and it's hard to find yourself while you're so

[6:27]busy committed to so many other things uh so maybe can you

[6:32]elaborate on how we could disconnect in a safe fashion and then

[6:36]reconnect in the end everything we do should be directed towards gaining

[6:39]nearness to Allah but can you elaborate a little bit about the

[6:45]disconnection not only the connection an example of this connection is it

[6:53]takes the soul away from what Away From Evil do so that's

[7:01]the disconnection but at the same time it's too problem in Salat

[7:03]what's the greatest Salat the Salat that you pray in congregation with

[7:07]people reconnecting so your disconnection must be through the reconnection when we

[7:13]want to when we want to isolate ourselves and find that space

[7:17]uh that safe hole for ourselves to discover ourselves so we discover

[7:23]Allah we do that in groups together but at the same time

[7:25]that's also Islam stresses on the individual aspect at the same time

[7:28]we have the individ ual aspect but what we grow through people

[7:34]let's give Unice a loud salaat so it sounds like you're basically

[7:42]saying there are good connections and bad connections so we have to

[7:47]highlight the good connections that we have with other people because they'll

[7:50]uh enhance our connection with Allah does anyone want to suggest things

[7:54]that they have trouble disconnecting from and what are things that we

[7:59]want to disconnect from cuz we're not saying that you need to

[8:01]disconnect from this world obviously we need to be productive people in

[8:04]society we need to be concerned about how uh where Society is

[8:08]heading we need to be concerned about our family about our friends

[8:13]about our community so we need to be connected but what are

[8:16]some of the things we need to disconnect from and how do

[8:19]we do that from uh negative social media okay uh like such

[8:28]as Facebook so if you if you a comment on a topic

[8:32]try to comment in a positive light and not so much a

[8:34]negative light um because all that stuff that you end up posting

[8:40]will stay there forever it doesn't go away so always try to

[8:43]post in a positive and if you can't do that don't post

[8:48]at all social media is a huge one I was waiting for

[8:50]it to come up um because we all talk about social media

[8:55]being a way to connect but I think you like you're suggesting

[8:57]you need to be selective on how you're connecting in right there's

[9:00]not not everything needs to be displayed on social media and a

[9:06]lot of it is um poor use of time you know cuz

[9:10]that's a minute that you can never regain so you have to

[9:13]be selective in how you're using that as well Dina want the

[9:17][Music] mic I don't think we should disconnect from this world like

[9:27]you said but it's really important to disconnect from the love we

[9:30]can have for this world because if we do get caught up

[9:35]with um this world and loving it then we will fail to

[9:36]reconnect with Allah subhana wa tala I something I don't know if

[9:46]I need a mic or now but okay thanks um I think

[9:48]one big thing that people need to disconnect from is like peer

[9:53]pressure hanging out with like the wrong group cuz that really rubs

[9:56]off on you and stuff so I mean I really think that

[9:59]if you like pick a good group of friends and they'll encourage

[10:02]you to do better things so do you have do you have

[10:06]any ways that you can identify cuz sometimes it's hard for us

[10:09]to see for ourselves that we're hanging out with the wrong crowd

[10:12]is there ways that you've learned to kind of self-assess or how

[10:17]do you find out that you're hanging out with the wrong crowd

[10:19]and you need to realign I mean like sometimes you have a

[10:24]friend and you know like you're really close to them and they're

[10:26]nice to you and stuff but when you see them with like

[10:30]other people um they act like you know different like you see

[10:32]them and you know they're just a different person than you think

[10:34]and you just have to know to like stay away from them

[10:37]like you can still have them there as a friend but you

[10:40]know don't get too close cuz they could bring you down so

[10:45]you could also maybe um encourage them right try to pull them

[10:50]over to your to your positive influence I just want something um

[10:53]also um she reminded me of a very good point she said

[10:58]of uh disconnecting from Pure pressure um I think something that's very

[11:01]important is to disconnect from the societal Norms that we live around

[11:06]societal Norms that are placed on us in these communities especially here

[11:12]in the west we got some of our youth who think that

[11:14]this is the right way to go this is the straight path

[11:18]um the people who are religious they're close-minded they're more traditional if

[11:23]you look at R Allah and when he came to Arabia he

[11:28]banned the um burying of infants um he he what's it called

[11:33]what was the other point yes he encouraged education or something else

[11:38]but I lost it so Allah he came and he he changed

[11:43]these Traditions he changed these societal Norms that were placed by Arabia

[11:47]in his time so he's telling us that you don't have to

[11:49]follow these societal Norms in our time today you you you look

[11:54]at them you analyze and assess is it right or wrong Allah

[11:56]subhana wa tala he's given each and every one of us a

[12:00]f you know between right and wrong when you know something's right

[12:03]you know it's right peer pressure a lot of us know you

[12:07]feel it in that situation that it's wrong but yet you just

[12:09]want to go with the crowd because you feel you conform to

[12:13]what they are doing because you view them as the correct source

[12:15]and you just want to fit in are there any um any

[12:24]ideas on how to connect simple things that we can do dayto

[12:28]day to connect um cuz obviously you know we've talked about disconnecting

[12:34]but how do you easily connect like effort free just add things

[12:39]into your daily life to help you connect start with your Sol

[12:44]you hold past yourself that that keeps you connected every day five

[12:50]times a day right and if you're doing that that'll keep you

[12:55]away from some of the undesirable actions M reading more getting educ

[13:04]no I don't need but yeah that's um when I ever need

[13:10]back up or I need to be reinform of something I just

[13:16]pick up a book read uh helps me see the light helps

[13:22]me think better clear my clear my mind just reading is a

[13:26]it's a good form of staying focused how do you choose what

[13:30]it's depending on how you're feeling okay you know and you got

[13:35]to know what you you got to pick the pick the right

[13:36]author too do you have any recommendations people always ask what should

[13:41]I read I always ask what should I read I never have

[13:44]time to read but I need to make time um I read

[13:47]The Alchemist it's a good book any other book suggestions any other

[13:52]book suggestions there was a book by shean it's um it's about

[13:58]the prophets God God's in read it's a very good read def

[14:05]really like that there's also self Building self building is a very

[14:10]nice book I just wanted to comment as far as connecting with

[14:12]people um generally in a society the relationships you have they have

[14:17]a certain base of why you're connecting with other people I feel

[14:22]if you work on helping out others it's a great means to

[14:24]connect with people in society it's a great way to open up

[14:27]relationships um to see what people are going through just having that

[14:33]open heart towards helping out others whether it's donating helping someone pick

[14:37]up something uh in Psychology there's something called the bystandard effect and

[14:41]what it is is if someone fell on the floor and there's

[14:44]a group of people around you you would depend on the people

[14:47]around you to help and everyone's depending on everyone else to help

[14:52]no one ends up helping um so breaking out of that train

[14:55]of thought and taking initiative going out there and helping out people

[14:59]and I think that would create a good basis for you to

[15:03]connect uh with people in society let's give a loud salawat for

[15:07]say Hassan because we need to take over the mic recum s

[15:19]so for a quick recap so that he knows what we were

[15:23]talking about so he knows where to take it um so say

[15:26]we've been talking about disconnecting in order to reconnect um as the

[15:30]theme was tonight and first we talked a little bit about is

[15:33]it necessary to disconnect and how do you still stay connected with

[15:39]the world but also pull yourself away so that you can connect

[15:42]with Allah at the same time um we talked about some ideas

[15:46]on how to connect um prayer was brought up reading was brought

[15:50]up uh helping others was brought up being careful with what friends

[15:54]you're surrounding yourself with do you know what was yours from the

[16:00]oh pulling yourself away from the love of this world disconnecting from

[16:03]social media so we've talked about some of those things um and

[16:06]we were hoping that you could share some advice on how to

[16:09]again reconnect with Allah subhana wa tala and disconnect from the negative

[16:16]so please uh join us by Muhammad Muhammad thank you all for

[16:22]contributing after do you want to wait till after yeah it's almost

[16:28]time yeah let's do that okay whatever you want alayum my dear

[16:54]sisters and brothers usually I'm on time but uh today as I

[17:03]was actually heading to come to the event here to be with

[17:11]you uh a friend of mine handed me a flyer a na

[17:15]as they say it so uh the Nawa the eulogy paper was

[17:22]about the death of the young man who passed away 2 days

[17:26]ago uh and it happened that I know his family I did

[17:32]not know that his grandfather is my my friend we're very close

[17:39]so when I was handed the flyer I thought it would be

[17:45]very appropriate for me to go and offer condolences to the family

[17:49]so I did that's why I'm late so as we are talking

[17:57]about the subject connecting with God I think it is very relevant

[18:01]to talk about this particular incident a young man who who just

[18:12]turned 21 or I guess turning 21 soon he hung himself on

[18:18]Wednesday night and he died due to a suicide I was talking

[18:27]to his family it was such a saddening moment to hear the

[18:35]details of his death that he 10 minutes before his death he

[18:38]called a family member and he asked for forgiveness and when his

[18:46]family member asked him why are you asking for forgiveness he says

[18:51]because I'm leaving so she thought he's a traveling but basically what

[18:57]he meant by his leaving he meant he will be dying soon

[19:02]now I remember the guy I vividly remember him now after seeing

[19:10]his picture I remember him I remember seeing him during last Ramadan

[19:14]and Ashura at the Islamic Center he used to attend almost every

[19:17]single night and I also remember that after the lecture he would

[19:21]participate in the had some uh uh handicap issue uh he was

[19:34]deaf he wasn't able ultimately to speak as well hardly but he

[19:42]he was a good person with good heart uh suffered from depression

[19:54]and you know especially in our community communities in the Middle Eastern

[20:01]communities we hardly give attention to handicap people and their needs and

[20:12]unfortunately some of us would act as if as if they are

[20:20]not full human beings we forgive the fact that they are also

[20:24]human beings they have emotional needs they have they want to be

[20:33]loved was suffering from lack of love not that his family did

[20:39]not love him but to him he wanted some expression of love

[20:44]from his family members and Friends ultimately this feeling led him to

[20:57]plunge in depression and depression is a very vicious very F vicious

[21:02]sickness if you don't fight it the right way it can be

[21:11]devastating today I spoke about in the about many people coming to

[21:18][Music] me wanting me to help them figure out how they how

[21:26]I can help them and after listening to them I find out

[21:31]that this these people are suffering from some disorder mental disorder depression

[21:38]or something similar to that even though I'm not a psychiatrist but

[21:45]I can tell and when I tell people to go to the

[21:52]to the doctor some of them are reserved they don't like to

[22:00]hear that they would rather go to dicks Avenue and find some

[22:04]of those people who consider themselves healers but indeed many of them

[22:10]are I'm not saying all of them but many of them are

[22:13]nothing but Crooks people who would charge them Hefty amount of money

[22:18]and would convince these people the victims that they have been occupied

[22:28]by the demons and they have to get the demons out of

[22:31]them and that would cost $400 I don't know why $400 so

[22:40]they pay the $400 and they go through sometime painful procedure with

[22:50]those cookes thinking that they will help them to get out of

[22:55]their dilemma not knowing that these people can make their dilemma even

[23:01]worse I was told that someone so with his own eyes one

[23:09]of his relatives who was seeking those healers in dicks Avenue the

[23:14]Healer was beating her with his own boolt claiming that he's trying

[23:20]to get the demon out of her beating her so badly that

[23:27]she was bleeding and the guy was calling and the demon to

[23:31]come out and for some reason the demon didn't didn't want to

[23:34]come out and the man kept beating her we need to be

[23:41]very uh objective and we need to be aware of these issues

[23:49]today unfortunately this issue the depression even though that was not my

[23:56]main discussion I but I believe that's somehow connected to being connected

[24:03]to Allah some people think that in order for me to be

[24:06]religious being having depression means I have weak faith in Allah is

[24:14]that true no no having depression doesn't mean that you have we

[24:20]weak faith in Allah at all depression is just like any other

[24:27]you know disord that needs treatment just like when you have a

[24:34]problem with your heart God forbid you go to cardiologist when you

[24:40]have a problem with depression you go to a psychiatrist it is

[24:47]chemical imbalance that needs treatment and we should not be ashamed of

[24:54]seeking treatment being connected to Allah I know I know that being

[25:01]connected to Allah through Dua is is excellent it works but also

[25:08]when medical treatment is needed I should not shy away I should

[25:17]not Fe I should not feel ashamed of myself for seeking medical

[25:23][Music] treatment my dear brothers and sisters there is something about this

[25:30]society when people advance in technology they thought that their life will

[25:42]be much happier by the invention of you know Cars airplanes computers

[25:52]iPhones things that people never had access to 100 years ago people

[26:00]thought that their life will be happier but that was not true

[26:08]at all none of these things will make us happier in life

[26:13]maybe it makes our life easier but not happier and there is

[26:20]a huge difference between having an easy life or a happy life

[26:26]you know I always when go to the Middle East especially to

[26:32]Iraq for example when where you barely have maybe 6 hours of

[26:39]electricity a day I see people are physically suffering but they don't

[26:45]have many of the mental problems that we have in this country

[26:49]they don't have a drug issue they don't have a problem with

[26:58]you know having a decayed deteriorated family relations if you read the

[27:12]news almost every single day almost every single day a young man

[27:18]kills his own parent his own father or his own mother in

[27:28]this country killing his wife killing children we're talking the media is

[27:32]talking these days about this guy Jared his name is Jared a

[27:38]man who was supposed to be a role model for many Americans

[27:43]a man who succeeded in in losing weight but he failed in

[27:51]being a good human being we spent billions of dollars American people

[27:57]spent billions of dollars over $40 billion a year American people pay

[28:07]for losing weight they go to the gym they go to the

[28:11]fitness club spend countless hours of exercising just to Lo lose some

[28:21]weight but do we do the same thing in do do we

[28:31]spend same amount of time in purifying our souls IM Al Talib

[28:40]has a beautiful expression he says people do sport do exercise to

[28:49]lose their weight to lose weight I also he says I also

[28:57]do RI I do sport as well I exercise but a different

[29:00]type of exercise he says I do exercise as well but not

[29:14]the physical exercise exercise that you guys do I do spiritual exercise

[29:21]I spend so much of my time in spiritual exercise in being

[29:30]Pious and reaching a higher level of [Music] piety what do we

[29:40]lack in this country truly what do we lack do we lack

[29:47]money no we are the most richest nation on Earth the most

[29:53]powerful Nation on Earth the most educated Nation on Earth then why

[30:02]we have the largest number of inmates in the United States why

[30:07]we have the largest number the highest number of robbery theft and

[30:13]rape in the world because of the lack of morality a doctor

[30:23]I don't know if you heard about him or not I'm sure

[30:27]most of you heard about him a month ago he was indicted

[30:34]in this country he made over40 million $40 million by tricking his

[30:43]patient deceiving them into chemotherapy treatment by telling them they have cancer

[30:51]while they never had cancer he made his patients go through painful

[31:02]medical treatment based on the idea that they have developed cancer and

[31:09]they never had cancer why did he do that so he can

[31:11]charge their in insurance company so he can make more money hundreds

[31:22]of patients were suffering we're suffering physically and emotionally you know when

[31:29]some when you are told by your doctor you have cancer some

[31:32]people can't take it it's a have it can have a heavy

[31:39]toll in our mind and our personality so these people had to

[31:42]suffer emotionally and physically going through unnecessary painful procedure why what did

[31:54]this man lack education no what did he lack he lacked Faith

[32:02]he lacked Faith the Arab poet puts it in in the very

[32:07]beautiful term he says he says if knowledge without piety can have

[32:27]any Merit then El the Shan would be the most honorable person

[32:34]because he is such a knowledgeable person Shan has knowledge but has

[32:43]no piety no faith he very knowledgeable but has no faith if

[32:50]knowledge without morality has any M then the Shan would be number

[32:58]one number one model but education with no p with no faith

[33:08]means nothing it could mean disaster just as we see in this

[33:14]case the case of this doctor who use his knowledge his medical

[33:20]expertise not in helping people rather than hurting people why because this

[33:28]man lacked morality and lacked Faith a rebellious man would always argue

[33:38]with his father his father tells him I don't see you com

[33:45]becoming a good man I don't see you're going to be as

[33:50]we say in the Middle East adamy good human being the son

[33:54]would be rebellious would disrespect his father and he says no I

[33:57]would be a great person the father tells him through what I

[34:03]see in you the way you treat your parent you're not going

[34:07]to be a good person even if you become educated he says

[34:10]I am becoming educated and I will show you what a great

[34:17]man I will be he left the village he went to the

[34:20]city he graduated from college he got his degree he joined the

[34:25]government 15 20 years later he became the Prime Minister he's walking

[34:32]the street one day with his interage when he see an elderly

[34:36]man he recognized he recognizes that elderly man to be his father

[34:44]so he asked his guard his body guard to go and bring

[34:46]that elderly man he says you see that elderly man he say

[34:52]yes go get him for me his father was walking in the

[34:57]street he came from the village to sh from the city and

[35:00]go back all of a sudden he sees five bodyguards surrounding him

[35:06]and physically forcing him to go with him with them what's wrong

[35:12]what did I do he said well we don't know the Prime

[35:15]Minister wants you he said the Prime Minister wants me what does

[35:20]he want from me we don't know he just saw you and

[35:25]he said bring that elderly man he says but I have nothing

[35:30]to do with the prime minister they said well that is his

[35:32]order we have to take you to the prime minister they bring

[35:37]him to the Prime Minister he does not recognize the Prime Minister

[35:41]as his son but his son recognized him recognized the father he

[35:48]says to the father do you recognize me he says no who

[35:55]who are you he says I'm your son remember we all always

[35:58]used to fight and argue I'm your son he say yeah I

[36:03]I remember you now I remember you now he says look at

[36:06]me look at me you always challenged me you told me you're

[36:14]not going to be nothing look look I became the prime minister

[36:17]of this country you always told me you're not going to be

[36:23]anything the father looked at him and he says son I said

[36:30]you're not going to be a true human being I didn't say

[36:35]you're not going to become a prime minister and you still have

[36:39]not become a good human being to be a human being true

[36:48]human being good servant of Allah a good human being doesn't mean

[36:51]if you become a prime minister doesn't mean that you are a

[36:54]true human being so I believe that one thing we need to

[37:06]always keep in mind my dear brothers and sisters is how we

[37:12]go about that relationship with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala how we keep

[37:17]the distance with him is he far away from me how hard

[37:27]I need to work to get to him and to keep in

[37:31]my side is it so so difficult to keep Allah in my

[37:36]side no no indeed it's not difficult at all he's not too

[37:41]far at all if you read Dua Abu Hamza which is a

[37:48]very rich Dua rich rich with many Concept beautiful concept please read

[37:53]that Dua if you read it in Arabi if you don't read

[37:58]in English in one line says those who travel to you who

[38:10]those who travel to you they don't have to Traverse long distance

[38:23]the one traveling to you should Traverse a very short distance you

[38:38]will not be away from me what makes you away from me

[38:42]my own deed my own sins when we become so attached to

[38:50]this Dunya everything in my life revolves around this Dunya my food

[38:55]my car my business my house house my my my everything becomes

[39:04]my everything becomes me and I become the center of the world

[39:11]that is the danger that is the danger when I see the

[39:19]world through my own lenses when I see the world as nothing

[39:27]but a to for my own well-being only that is the problem

[39:34]when I see nothing in this dun other than Indulgence wanting more

[39:42]and more and more IM says those who seek D they are

[39:52]like a person drinking from the ocean a third a thirsty person

[40:00]drinking from the ocean will never quench his thirst indeed the ocean

[40:07]water will make you even more thirsty the more you drink from

[40:27]the ocean the more thirsty you will be this is the nature

[40:31]of this Dunya the more we want the more we get blinded

[40:35]the more we become indulged the more we become entangled to be

[40:44]a good Muslim does not mean that you live very simple life

[40:54]no you can enjoy life Indulgence indul Indulgence what makes you a

[41:03]good person or not Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wanted you to enjoy

[41:09]your life but he says don't indulge don't indulge the minute you

[41:16]indulge you know people love swimming they love swimming but at the

[41:23]same time if you don't know how to swim you may drown

[41:29]you need to be careful when you swim not to drown so

[41:35]you can enjoy your swim we done is that why you came

[41:41]and sat here very smart Okay so I know it's time for

[41:50]Salah and most importantly it's time for pizza also because I see

[41:54]that the pizza arrived and some people are becoming extreme L impatient

[41:59]so I'm going to conclude in 2 minutes again there is a

[42:06]line in Du very beautiful he says get the love the passion

[42:22]the attachment the attachment of this dun get out of my heart

[42:26]the the Imam is not saying make me not enjoy my life

[42:33]all he is saying he says take that attachment from my heart

[42:40]you can enjoy life but without being so attached to it without

[42:45]being indulged so you can enjoy it if someone does not know

[42:54]how to swim and want to swim so badly he may drown

[42:58]especially if you go deep if you try to dive you don't

[43:04]know how you may drown but if you know how to swim

[43:12]even if you go deep you will not drown so connecting with

[43:18]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't mean that you disconnect completely physically with

[43:24]this Dy there are two types of Detachment physical and emotional we're

[43:31]not supposed to physically be detached we live in this dun it's

[43:38]okay to enjoy it to have it but we're supposed to emotionally

[43:45]disconnect says to be Pious he says real piety is not that

[43:59]you do not possess objects and things real piety is you are

[44:07]not obsessed and possessed with things you can possess the world but

[44:12]don't let the world possesses you I think it's time for Salah
