[0:00]Imam Ali A's salam was leading a battle during the time of

[0:06]the battle of nada one if you've heard of the battle of

[0:09]nada one so a companion stopped him and he pointed to a

[0:16]stranger and he said Oh in my money there's this astrologer and

[0:20]he wishes to tell you something how many of you have ever

[0:26]heard of astrology right we've all heard of astrology or we sometimes

[0:29]look to see what will the Stars be telling us this year

[0:35]are they predicting a good future not what is our horoscope things

[0:38]of this nature there's a lot of people that are involved in

[0:40]this to try to figure out you know if they're going to

[0:45]be happy or or miserable you know to try to figure out

[0:48]what they should do next they look to the Stars to find

[0:53]some answers so imma my nana's sanam was standing by this companion

[0:57]and he pointed to an astrologer and he said he wishes to

[1:03]tell you something and he told him the astrologer he said yummy

[1:08]remote minion do not proceed at this hour towards the battlefield because

[1:12]the Stars foretell that whoever travels at this hour will meet with

[1:17]failures in great loss however if you travel at the right moment

[1:24]you will meet splendid victory so what is this companion doing what

[1:28]is this stranger doing who's an astrologer he's basically telling Imam honest

[1:33]and I'm the commander of the faithful the leader of the army

[1:36]do not proceed because you will fail so he's already predicted that

[1:40]there will be failure and the in the battlefield how many of

[1:46]you have ever like went online and checked your horoscope for the

[1:51]day it says today you will be having a very horrible day

[1:53]you will lose so much money you'll just things just won't go

[1:59]your way so then all of a sudden what happens to your

[2:02]day it goes bad doesn't it because you read the horoscope and

[2:09]you basically follow it step by step what these people are suggesting

[2:13]to you and you acted upon these beliefs of astrologers so what

[2:17]did he mar- salam the commander of the faithful the one who

[2:22]guides us to learn how to live our life as muslims he

[2:27]said he asked him can canoe foretell at what time good will

[2:32]befall you and at what time evil so do you know when

[2:36]something good is going to happen to you or when something bad

[2:39]is going to happen to you the man said yes I do

[2:41]know this he said well you lie basically called him a liar

[2:47]he told him flat out this is alive why because even the

[2:50]Holy Prophet did not claim to know the hidden realities so how

[2:55]can you Rasool Allah who is the final prophet and was sent

[2:59]with the final message to guide mankind to happiness and success never

[3:03]even claimed to know and to say this is what's going to

[3:10]happen in the future so in mammalian a Salaam he continued telling

[3:13]him a person who has faith in your knowledge does not need

[3:17]God so we don't need God if we're going to look at

[3:21]the Stars and follow them so what did the Imam do he

[3:26]looked at his army and he with advice and he said so

[3:28]this advice from is not just to his army it is for

[3:35]us today he said beware of trying to foretell the future or

[3:39]that which is concealed from you this art is like witchcraft how

[3:43]many you have heard of hitch witchcraft yeah it's a very dangerous

[3:47]practice he says witchcraft is like I adultery idol worshipping will be

[3:53]punished in hell he then raised his head this is the key

[3:59]point so some people actually open a horoscope read it and follow

[4:01]it but what does imam idea do when this astrologer comes and

[4:06]tells him don't proceed with the battle because you're going to fail

[4:09]anyways he then raised his head he looked at the heavens and

[4:12]he offered a prayer in total reliance with Allah subhana wattana in

[4:17]Allah and he looked at the astrologer and he said to him

[4:24]I will intentionally intentionally defy your prophecy and I will proceed at

[4:28]once so he said to him whatever you say does not make

[4:34]one difference to me i will intentionally go the opposite of your

[4:37]advice and we will proceed with the battle of new heroine so

[4:41]what ended up happening was it was one of the most successful

[4:48]battles in history the battle of not a one so we learn

[4:50]a very important lesson in this and the reason why when i

[4:54]read this hadith i said i really want to share it with

[4:56]you tonight is because yesterday i was visiting someone and they were

[5:01]glued to the television I said what are you watching they said

[5:05]there's this very famous she's an astrologer she's she's predicting what's going

[5:10]to happen in the entire world for 2016 and I said to

[5:15]them you know we don't believe in listen Islam but they're Muslims

[5:19]they pray they fast you know they-they-they true they're trying to really

[5:23]work on themselves but I believe that they know how dangerous this

[5:27]is right so they were glued to their television because they needed

[5:31]to know what is going to happen in 2006 16 and this

[5:38]astrologer she claimed to be a Muslim but she wasn't practicing you

[5:42]know the proper hijab she she wasn't even you know identifying with

[5:47]Islam the way that a Muslim should so this teaches us a

[5:54]very important lesson and that is when we want to choose our

[5:57]new year's resolutions and we want to see what's going to happen

[6:02]in the upcoming future we have to rely on what we have

[6:07]to rely on our own decision-making and our own mind not on

[6:11]the star is not on our horoscopes because no one can come

[6:16]and tell you what's going to happen in the future we also

[6:19]have people in the community that do what take the cup of

[6:22]coffee you ever heard of this practice to and me and they

[6:26]flip it over for you and they say just give me a

[6:30]few minutes right I'm going to tell you everything and I'm going

[6:32]to even tell you who you're going to marry how much money

[6:34]you're going to make what job you're gonna you're going to approach

[6:40]and receive and you're reading me like yes so you go when

[6:43]you wait for this basada as they say in Arabic right so

[6:47]she can tell you what's going to happen and guess what happens

[6:50]you're born you do everything that she says which is wrong what

[6:55]we need to realize that we have willpower and we have influence

[7:02]over our futures and the way our futures end up being designed

[7:06]is according to our decisions okay so according to our decisions so

[7:12]someone came to Imam asada and said to him sayedee I have

[7:20]become very attached to this process of astrology all i do is

[7:24]i read in the books and i look to see you know

[7:28]what's you know what's going to happen can't let it go off

[7:31]kind of have developed like an addiction to it the in my

[7:34]mother's sonam he became very upset with this and he told him

[7:39]to throw the books away and not to open them again so

[7:41]we're not really advised by a little a homo salam to to

[7:47]turn to these methods so this is a very important lesson about

[7:51]astrology and about ways of identifying our future said oh Allah Muhammad

[8:01]Ali Mohammed so with this set then what tools do we have

[8:06]to decide on our future and to see what type of resolutions

[8:15]we want to choose well again we'll look to see what the

[8:18]holy prophets of Allah a value will send them and why do

[8:22]we even go to the holy prophet why is he even someone

[8:23]or a little bait allahumma sanam that we should consider their advice

[8:30]I mean we have other people that are with us now that

[8:33]might understand us more right we have maybe teachers we have professors

[8:37]we have parents we have very intellectual people in the community why

[8:43]should we go to the prophet who lived at a different time

[8:47]than I did how can he help me in 2016 it's a

[8:51]very you know a lot of people might ask that question and

[8:54]that's a normal question to ask but the thing is is that

[9:00]our holy prophet sallallahu alehiwassallaam he was sent to us for one

[9:04]specific reason that is to warn us and guide us and show

[9:09]us how to reach our happiness and success so when I'm trying

[9:12]to build my future I should go to the one who knows

[9:18]what tools i need what types of resources and knowledge i need

[9:23]in order to become a successful person so another hadith which was

[9:28]very interesting what is someone came to him and said would you

[9:33]please give me a vid special piece of advice how I can

[9:39]be successful so we're all trying to think how to be successful

[9:42]this year he says he asked him do you pledge to add

[9:47]to act on them the companion said yes sure I will he

[9:50]asked him another time are you certain you will act upon this

[9:55]he said yes yet rasoolullah I will certainly do so he said

[9:58]do you promise to act upon this so three times okay we're

[10:03]wondering what is he going to say like it's like a secret

[10:05]piece of advice that just gives you all the success he says

[10:11]yes I will be RS ooh la la he says seriously evaluate

[10:15]the results of your actions before performing it if its end is

[10:24]good performance if it can lead to deviation in ruins abstain from

[10:28]it so anytime we're about to make any type of a decision

[10:31]we have to see the outcome is it going to end up

[10:36]in something that is useful or is it may be going to

[10:42]destroy my my future or destroy my you know it's going to

[10:44]lead into a very bad consequence salala Mohamed wanna movement so did

[10:53]you know that eighty percent of people give up their new year's

[10:57]resolutions within three months so we get very excited and we make

[11:05]a huge list right and then eighty percent of people after March

[11:09]the month of marsh they give up their new year's resolutions why

[11:17]do you think that happens I'd like maybe some interaction from the

[11:21]audience if you'd like to participate would make the discussion a little

[11:25]bit more lively so why do you think brothers sisters why do

[11:29]you think eighty percent of people's resolutions end up failing after three

[11:35]months about lazy okay motivation yes serious investigates exactly really good anything

[12:07]else yes but perhaps the black tower resolutions that they went through

[12:14]or more like quick fixes that don't address the problem that are

[12:21]facing the first place so they don't actually make me mean the

[12:26]whole permanent Jesus so they follow the train also that's a very

[12:30]good idea that's right everything everyone said here is correct and also

[12:36]just to add is that some people place very unrealistic goals for

[12:45]themselves you know like for instance a lot of people say especially

[12:49]sisters you know I want to lose for example 10 pounds right

[12:53]or I want for the brothers I want to go to the

[12:56]gym every single day but you haven't worked out in like a

[13:01]year right so instead up stating i want to go to the

[13:03]gym every single day for instance it's better to make a realistic

[13:09]goal such as maybe i'll start working out two to three times

[13:11]a week a half an hour a day right and instead of

[13:14]making a huge goal is I want to lose this amount of

[13:16]weight you could make something more realistic and say well I just

[13:22]want to start maybe cutting down on some of the things that

[13:24]are causing me to gain we are making me feel unhealthy so

[13:30]it's more to be more successful our goals should be more realistic

[13:34]instead of idealistic and we shouldn't make such a huge list because

[13:38]it's like we're already setting ourselves up for what for failure right

[13:43]so we should really identify what is it that we want to

[13:47]change so as brother must said we should sit down and think

[13:53]about it ok so today's the first of the year I want

[13:57]to evaluate my life and I want to say I want to

[14:00]see what are the things that I'm liking and what are the

[14:02]things that are bothering me or aren't going well or causing a

[14:07]lot of problems in my life right so for instance let's say

[14:10]cuz all of us most of us here we are you know

[14:14]at the age where we either live with our parents or our

[14:18]parents are you know part of our lives in our decision making

[14:20]let's say for instance we don't have the best relationship with our

[14:23]parents we don't have good communication with them they don't understand thus

[14:30]we feel or we don't really understand them or we don't even

[14:33]talk to our parents right there in one world and we're in

[14:34]another and I'd rather be with my friends so if that's something

[14:41]that's happening then and if you don't like that some people don't

[14:45]really care right some you have to say I really don't want

[14:47]a relationship with my parents because they're not understanding me or it's

[14:51]just too much work or too much trouble some people think that

[14:57]way and it's because of the the disconnect the lack of communication

[15:01]so if this is causing you hire chip in your life you

[15:04]know if you're not happy because of this relationship and you wish

[15:08]that things could change then what we need to do is look

[15:10]at ourselves and say okay what am i doing to contribute to

[15:17]this relationship which is maybe creating some disconnect and if they're doing

[15:23]something in my eyes that I don't like then maybe I can

[15:25]learn to communicate with them in a healthy way and say you

[15:29]know mom dad for instance I wish things could be better with

[15:32]us really I really need your help I really need your support

[15:37]because you're my parents but something isn't going right can we have

[15:41]a talk could we talk about this and if you really want

[15:46]to them with an open heart and open mind right with an

[15:50]open open ear which you might hear things that you don't like

[15:55]and they might say well I really can't stand how you do

[16:00]ABC d and that's not what you want to hear because in

[16:02]your mind what it's all their fault right they're the bad guys

[16:07]that's how it usually is but if you go with the open

[16:09]ear then it might you might be willing to find some some

[16:15]change in some resolution there so that's from the parents perspective the

[16:20]relationship with your parents how many of you in this room are

[16:24]married okay so we should talk about there so let's say that's

[16:29]one of your resolutions that you'd like to find a spouse and

[16:32]you'd like to be married right inshaa allah allah will give that

[16:36]risk to everyone who wants it and that's a very beautiful thing

[16:42]in Islam we are encouraged to be married and we're encouraged to

[16:46]be married early as you all know I know hamdullah all almost

[16:49]all of you in the audience are ma sha Allah regular attendees

[16:55]and you know this you know this concept very well thank you

[16:59]thank you so much solanum so if you are looking to be

[17:13]married or you'd like to find a significant other you have to

[17:16]look at well let's say that you've gotten to know someone in

[17:22]your life right and or you know you were engaged or you

[17:25]want to be engaged or you know you just got to know

[17:29]someone and or more than one person and it's just not working

[17:32]out you're just not able to find the right match well you

[17:37]have to see am i doing do I have really bad habits

[17:41]that I keep choosing the wrong person for instance or am I

[17:45]not changing myself year after year right so we have to look

[17:48]at again we have to evaluate okay what's going what's wrong is

[17:52]it the person is that where I'm going do I want to

[17:56]find a religious girl but I'm going to like for instance a

[17:58]mixed wedding with music and you know where that's not where they're

[18:02]really just people usually attempt in such a gathering for instance or

[18:09]am I or if I want someone that values knowledge and reading

[18:12]an education am I looking for them you know in the right

[18:18]places such as the bookstore or a lecture or you know at

[18:20]the masjid for instance so i have to see where am I

[18:27]looking to find the right spouse that will match my life style

[18:30]also timelines some of us say okay I have to be married

[18:36]by 21 or I have to be married by 31 or if

[18:40]I'm not married by 35 on know if I'm not married by

[18:44]25 then you know that means I'm doomed forever no that's from

[18:49]Allah subhana wattana we should do our part preparing ourselves to find

[18:52]the right spouse and preparing ourselves to be the right spouse right

[18:57]and then allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala will also send us the person on

[19:02]the right time in sha allah salaam from madrid in the homeland

[19:12]another loud silhouette please one very important resolution which we must keep

[19:26]in mind as the importance of gaining knowledge how many of you

[19:33]take gaining knowledge very seriously raise your hands hundred and that's excellent

[19:38]listen to this hadith someone asked rasulallah salallahu alayhi wassalam he said

[19:44]if I have to choose between going to bury someone in a

[19:50]funeral and go attending a funeral or attending an educational class which

[19:55]one should I do rasool allah allah allah salam he said if

[19:59]there's someone else to bury that person go to the educational class

[20:09]why because knowledge he said only knowledge leads you to worshiping God

[20:14]and only knowledge teaches you how to worship God he says the

[20:18]gatherings where knowledge is being given like for instance tonight all of

[20:22]you have made the decision to come and gain knowledge haven't you

[20:28]did you know that this genocide is gathering right now according to

[20:32]our holy prophet it's very important to understand why you do what

[20:36]you do and the reward behind it when we understand the philosophy

[20:39]behind our acts and the and the recommendations given by the holy

[20:45]prophet in his battalion mehsana we will be more motivated to attend

[20:52]for good gatherings so what is the reward of death of gathering

[20:56]here tonight for instance it's better than attending listen to this a

[21:02]thousand funerals visiting a thousand sick patients reciting a thousand night prayers

[21:09]a thousand days of fasting a thousand paying a thousand dirhams and

[21:15]charity and performing the non-obligatory hash and a thousand non-obligatory jihad Allahu

[21:20]Akbar why why is gaining knowledge so at rise by our Alan

[21:29]Bates I want to hear from you why do you think for

[21:34]those of you that raised your hand and said that gaining knowledge

[21:38]is very important to you what have you experienced what has knowledge

[21:42]done for you how has it changed your life maybe the fact

[21:48]that we're learning like we're learning how to do some stuff like

[21:51]learning how to go to have you to learn in order to

[21:54]do it click to go through the process of doing practice yes

[21:58]that's right thank you notes brothers why is gaining knowledge so important

[22:07]Cass it along to others so influence others behaviors yes makes you

[22:15]successful how okay you continue your education very true see our actions

[22:30]our silk our actions in society are dependent upon our beliefs right

[22:39]so let's say for instance i believe that i am a very

[22:44]smart capable able person right that has a lot of things going

[22:52]for me I have a great family great religion I have capabilities

[22:55]i have an intellect these beliefs will drive you to make good

[23:00]decisions but if I didn't have this belief I didn't think about

[23:07]myself in this way or about my options in life then I

[23:10]will end up doing the complete opposite so knowledge teaches me as

[23:18]you mentioned how I should act why I should act what am

[23:21]I benefiting from how am I benefiting salalah mohammad wallah moment well

[23:37]one thing that I also want to mention which has to do

[23:43]with self-esteem is very important a lot of us have fallen into

[23:46]trouble in life haven't we so that's why we look for resolutions

[23:54]we look for solutions so once someone came to Imam asada alayhis

[23:58]salaam our 6th hole de mom and he said to him say

[24:02]EDI fallen into death so a lot of people start the new

[24:05]year and they say i want to have financial freedom so if

[24:10]you're in college right and you end up taking student loans then

[24:13]you say i'd like to pay off my student loans very soon

[24:18]or if you're still in high school you may you might want

[24:20]to try to save some money because you have an important trip

[24:24]that you want to go and take in the next up and

[24:25]this year for instance or maybe you're planning for a fun vacation

[24:30]or you want to go to hash or you want to go

[24:30]to the author you just want to do something with your family

[24:34]you need to have finances right so someone came to Imam Masada

[24:38]can set to him say the i'm in debt and i am

[24:44]struggling what should i do I've been I've talked to so many

[24:48]people and told them about my problems and they are not able

[24:55]to help me so I've come to you what should I do

[25:00]he said well first of all he went he called his main

[25:01]serve and he asked her to bring this man money and he

[25:06]gave him some money to relieve him and he said I wasn't

[25:09]asking for money I just really wanted your prayers so he said

[25:16]to him one thing that I advised you to do is not

[25:18]to go and mention all of your problems to everyone that you

[25:26]know because people are going to look at you because what he

[25:28]did was he went to everybody said diamond debt you need to

[25:32]help me so what they ended up doing is the third like

[25:33]closing the door in his face he became like a burden on

[25:38]everyone right so he said to him don't go you know people

[25:44]air out all their problems to everyone this is what's happening in

[25:46]my life this is I don't know what to do about it

[25:50]help me it's good to seek advice but we should seek advice

[25:52]from the right person from someone that can help us that's qualified

[25:55]and that has good solutions so the Imam says do not mention

[26:02]all of your your hardships to everyone because they will look at

[26:06]you in a negative way and they will not respect you anymore

[26:11]so the believer has what has a heads up has Karama honor

[26:15]and dignity he shouldn't he shouldn't embarrass her she shouldn't embarrass herself

[26:21]in front of people by mentioned to my mentioning to them all

[26:23]of their or problems so this is a very important lesson that

[26:29]we should take it doesn't anyone have any questions before we conclude

[26:37]no nothing huh nothing's coming in your mind okay something that I

[26:48]looked up that I wanted to all should also share with you

[26:53]regarding our resolutions which many people try to set for themselves and

[26:57]these are some really good ones so we said getting your finances

[27:00]together right another one would be getting a good job how many

[27:07]of you work it most of you college students going to college

[27:10]a little bit of both not working you're not going to college

[27:14]whatever you're doing is we did fun high school okay so you're

[27:19]in school that's good so I hunted at least you're getting some

[27:22]knowledge or you're working that's great our time is very precious right

[27:28]so we we want to spend it in the way but if

[27:30]we do have a job and we want a promotion friend since

[27:33]or we want more money we should do up which is actually

[27:35]be assertive and speak to our boss and ask them say I'd

[27:42]like a promotion what should I do to to earn that promotion

[27:46]right or I'm in high school and I'd like a part-time job

[27:50]because I have a lot of time on my hands so I

[27:54]can ask my parents what can I do to earn a part-time

[27:57]job something that I can make a difference in society and in

[28:01]my life so actually trying to seek that job through the right

[28:06]means access by the way how many of you overheard of access

[28:11]on Shaffer and dearborn for those of you that are from Dearborn

[28:14]they have a center called Michigan Works so if you're a high

[28:18]school student or a college student or you're not even a student

[28:23]and you're just someone looking for a job they help set you

[28:25]up with a job at least for three months and then they

[28:29]help you find something long term so we have solutions in the

[28:32]community that will help we talked about working out right and I

[28:35]mentioned that you should just add a regular workout session to your

[28:42]daily routine do you know that rasoolullah sallal a while he'll send

[28:46]them he recommended exercise we should we should learn how to swim

[28:50]they say in the hadith you should learn how to ride a

[28:56]horse which is actually pretty fun for those of you that have

[28:58]tried or have that tried it's something fun you can go horseback

[29:00]riding I don't know how many options we have here in Michigan

[29:05]for that but that's something really good and just taking a walk

[29:09]you know two to three times a week just leaving your house

[29:12]and walking around your neighborhood I know it's pretty freezing but you

[29:16]can go to the mall and walk in the morning or after

[29:20]score or something just to get some some exercise and one way

[29:22]to motivate you brothers and sisters is to find a partner right

[29:28]usually when we do things by ourselves we give up but if

[29:30]we find a partner and Islam is all about being healthy so

[29:35]we shouldn't think that oh if I'm really just that means what

[29:40]I just pray and fast and I go to the door and

[29:44]that's it no no no if I my religious believer what should

[29:46]I do I should take care of my body of my mind

[29:50]my spirit I should take care of my family be active member

[29:57]in my society so having exercised in your routine is a very

[30:04]excellent Islamic activity and something that is very much encouraged in Islam

[30:10]how about cooking at home for some of the ladies cooking is

[30:13]very good at home wyd saves you a lot of money from

[30:17]going out and buying from the restaurant and for my stomach perspective

[30:21]what does it do you are eating more thought head clean food

[30:26]you know where you got your meat from you know you did

[30:29]well though maybe before you prepared your meal brothers if you eat

[30:32]a lot out from the restaurants you know subs and pizza and

[30:37]all of that very unhealthy very unhealthy so I advise you to

[30:41]change that bad habit and leave the chips and the junk food

[30:45]and I'm a Pepsi and all of that because it's just going

[30:47]to give you diabetes so stay away from that and sisters of

[30:54]course to my sisters usually care more about what they put in

[30:56]their bodies but did you know that whatever you put in your

[31:01]mouth and in your body it affects how you feel it affects

[31:04]your spirit affects your energy when i was in Giada this year

[31:10]I'm not people in their late 60s I'll tell you they had

[31:12]a lot more energy than than I did and why it's because

[31:16]they were very careful what they and what they put in their

[31:19]bodies let's say I am I am a wife or I am

[31:23]a husband where I'm a child or a parents I want to

[31:27]make a goal to be a better a better person I want

[31:32]to have much better relationships with my parents like we talked about

[31:36]or if I'm married with my spouse or in my community with

[31:40]my friends also sleeping getting eight hours of sleep is very important

[31:47]did you know that Imam al-ghazali Salaam he says he has a

[31:54]book that's called tobin mama luba and he teaches us how we

[31:58]should eat and sleep in and take care of ourselves and he

[32:00]says we should sleep also eight hours a day doesn't necessarily have

[32:05]to be eight straight hours but you can you know chop it

[32:08]up a little bit like six hours and then during the day

[32:11]if you want to take a take a nap or so that's

[32:15]really important so these are some of the resolutions that we have

[32:20]from a little bait and also from our daily lives that we

[32:23]can apply and sha Allah and find solutions I pray that Allah

[32:29]gives us the power and the ability to succeed in sha Allah

[32:34]and one secret to success really is the state of your mind

[32:42]the state of your mind our mind is such a powerful tool

[32:45]that if I tell myself I will be successful oh excuse me

[32:54]if I told myself I will be successful and i will be

[33:02]happy and i will accomplish my goals and i will make a

[33:06]difference in society whatever i tell myself will happen and sha Allah

[33:10]it will happen but that doesn't mean it'll be a very easy

[33:17]smooth sailing road without hardships but higher chips build us and they

[33:22]make us stronger and they make us more capable of handling what

[33:26]life has to bring in sha Allah so I pray that we

[33:31]have tofique we have obedience to allah subhana wa'ta'ala or i forgot

[33:35]to mention one thing which is so important and that is our

[33:38]daily prayers so if we're not you know that should have been

[33:45]number one but our prayers are so important because if I players

[33:49]aren't on track then we will not succeed and I have to

[33:54]mention this because I was speaking I saw like eight people texting

[33:57]and looking at their phones and I said to myself what's happening

[34:04]why aren't people paying attention why aren't we connecting why are we

[34:07]respecting each other why are we so attached to our cell phones

[34:14]and I really pray that we learn how to connect with each

[34:17]other face to face cuz trust me by the way if you

[34:23]don't know I'm a social worker I have a master's in social

[34:27]work and I work now access I'm a therapist and I work

[34:29]with a lot of people that have mental health issues depression anxiety

[34:32]name one of the worst things that we could do that will

[34:39]create a lot of issues for us unhappiness feeling unsatisfied is when

[34:43]we disconnect from others when we just sit and we text and

[34:46]we get so attached to our phones and we forget how to

[34:50]just sit together and have a one-on-one conversation and care and love

[34:53]one another and care for one another we're setting ourselves up for

[34:57]failure so we really should put our phones give it a break

[35:04]give your mind a break Give Your Heart let your heart feel

[35:06]the love from others from the knowledge enjoy each other's relationships this

[35:12]is what the secret of Islam is about the best way to

[35:19]get closer to Allah is to love people to be affectionate to

[35:21]be caring to be useful if I'm sitting at home and I'm

[35:26]trying to talk to you but you're just on your cell phone

[35:28]to me that means you I'm not important to you and whoever

[35:32]and believe me I know the person on the other side is

[35:34]not that important either it's just we've become so addicted it's really

[35:38]become like an addiction we have to control ourselves sisters brothers and

[35:43]I'm telling you this because you're all like my family my sister's

[35:48]my brothers and I see what's happening people don't even call each

[35:50]other anymore and say said ironic happy new year how are you

[35:55]I want to see you let's go for coffee you send the

[35:56]text happy new year with a heart that's enough and then you

[36:00]don't see your friend or your sister your aunt your uncle for

[36:03]a year how are you I'm fine so everybody feels like they

[36:10]did something you know very like they made their conscious clear by

[36:14]sending me texts we sent the text tell us it's enough but

[36:17]that's that's not what Islam is all about Islam is about connecting

[36:25]visiting whenever someone goes and visits their brother and faith do you

[36:30]know the rewards that you are receiving when you sit and you

[36:33]look at your parents and your smile at them you don't need

[36:34]anything you just smile let's hey bada when you pick up the

[36:39]phone you say are you okay I just want to check up

[36:42]on you not texting check up on each other through a phone

[36:45]call that brings joy in the hearts of people well law that's

[36:48]what gives us happiness that's what gives us happiness is when we

[36:56]connect Allah made of social beings not robots just sitting on the

[37:00]phone why not know about you guys we have hearts we have

[37:06]we have souls my soul needs you you need me we need

[37:09]each other so this is I pray that this is the best

[37:18]resolution for 2016 yaa allah no we put our technology aside sometimes

[37:22]and we care about each other we respect one another we love

[37:25]each other because when you let go of your you know selfishness

[37:30]all of us have it in us we all have like a

[37:36]pharaoh inside of us that tells us to do bad things when

[37:38]we put that on the side and we bring out the goodness

[37:43]in us we find happiness we find happiness so we pray to

[37:48]Allah for happiness tofique success obedience and most important everything is most

[37:54]important right every time I want to conclude I think of more

[37:58]things to say but we can't under section without remember in our

[38:00]12th holy imam because he is the key to our success isn't

[38:05]he so if you don't know you're twelve holy imam year 2016

[38:08]number one resolution is i want to know imam and mahady connect

[38:14]with him read about him and make him a real person in

[38:17]my life I lateness sanam we pray that Allah will bring him

[38:23]back while we're alive so we could live and he could fill

[38:26]earth with justice and peace after it was filled with oppression so
