[2:38]minds were they very loud Salawat on this holy night as we

[2:45]have gathered to commemorate the legacy of the commander of the faithful

[2:52]Amir al-mumineen Ali ibn ABI Taleb alehissalaam we come to learn how

[3:01]the Imam Ali his Salaam viewed this worldly life and how he

[3:08]lived in this worldly life what is amazing about the character of

[3:14]Amir al-mumineen alehissalaam is that you find him in any state that

[3:18]he was in he shows you how to live whether the imam

[3:25]ali sallam was in Mecca being persecuted by the pagans not having

[3:30]the freedom to fully practice his religion publicly the Imam Ali Salaam

[3:39]is a guide for us whether the Imam Ali and Saddam was

[3:41]in the city of Medina supporting rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala showing

[3:46]his conviction and power in the way of Allah subhana WA Ta'ala

[3:52]he shows us how to live in this world whether the Imam

[3:55]Hani Salaam was marginalized for 25 years and basically was under house

[4:02]arrest the Imam shows us how to be patients how to be

[4:04]patient in this life and then once the world came to him

[4:09]and he was elected as the Caliph the Imam Hani Salaam teaches

[4:13]us how to use Authority for the sake of allah subhana wa

[4:20]ta'ala whether he was marginalized or he was in power only Ali

[4:23]after Rasulullah sallallahu aleyhi you how to deal with this dunya how

[4:32]to deal with this world what is the secret of Ameer al-mumineen

[4:33]Salaam how does the Imam Ali Salaam on such a night as

[4:41]we remember his legacy teach us how to deal with this world

[4:45]this dunya the materialistic aspect of this world you find that the

[4:55]Imam gives us the answer in a three-letter word in Arabic this

[4:59]word is the secret to Ali ibn ABI Talib and the world

[5:06]of ali given a butte on it this word gives you the

[5:09]secret to why the imam when he was struck he set foot

[5:15]storable Kabaddi haka now I have achieved success this word in Arabic

[5:22]Azad three letters many of us even arabic speakers don't have a

[5:31]proper understanding of what xored means there is no English equivalent that

[5:39]quite captures the meaning of xored some translated as being ascetic some

[5:45]translated as being humble one translation is to be indifferent all of

[5:52]these translations show you one dimension of the words owed but Sir

[5:59]it is more than that third is the greatest gift allah subhanaw

[6:04]taala can give to the human being for one hadith states AB

[6:11]allahu abdun if allah loves a human being what does he give

[6:15]him power Authority fame recognition if God really loves you what does

[6:19]he give you a the habala who obtains aheada who for dunya

[6:26]if allah truly loves one of his servants and he wants to

[6:30]give him all the goodness allah subhanaw taala makes him indifferent to

[6:34]this world but what does this mean what does it mean to

[6:40]be indifferent to this world and how can we learn from the

[6:42]legacy of Imam Ali have you thought about a Salaam to be

[6:49]a successful yet indifferent to this world the holy quran uses the

[6:53]words o in one instance they form a variation of the word

[7:01]zone and this interesting example the Quran gives us tells us about

[7:05]the meaning of xored what does it mean allah subhanaw taala talks

[7:09]about the story of Prophet Yusuf Ali Salaam how his brothers grew

[7:12]jealous of him they wanted to kill him one of them said

[7:16]no let's not kill him let's throw him in a well hopefully

[7:21]a caravan will find him and they'll take him and we'll get

[7:24]rid of him they said ok a caravan came they found him

[7:30]now they wanted to buy him from his brothers allah subhanaw taala

[7:34]captures this transaction in the holy quran allah subhanaw taala States why

[7:40]Shara whoo-hoo be feminine Bastion doneghy mama Duda they purchased him for

[7:47]a very cheap price just a few coins than the Quran comments

[7:51]what can you feed him in Isaiah Deen when it came to

[7:57]the price of use of alehissalaam when they sold him to that

[8:00]caravan going to Egypt they had xored in the price and that

[8:08]money they had xored in other words they were indifferent what does

[8:13]that mean see they sold him they engaged in a transaction but

[8:20]what was the primary reason why the brothers of Yusuf arias salam

[8:23]wanted to sell him was it because they wanted to make money

[8:25]out of this business deal no that was not their intent yes

[8:31]they did get money they took those coins but that was not

[8:33]their main goal the Quran captures the state by using the word

[8:40]zone what kind OFI I'm Annessa hiding they didn't care about the

[8:43]money their main concern was to get rid of Yusuf are you

[8:48]Saddam that was their main concern getting 5 coins or 10 coins

[8:51]or 100 coins it did not matter that was not their concern

[8:56]that was not their intent and here's the holy quran sheds light

[8:58]on the concept of jihad Zillah does not mean that in this

[9:04]world you don't own anything you don't engage in business you don't

[9:09]make transactions no you do you are successful however you're indifferent to

[9:14]the money that you make you have this sword in my mind

[9:20]even I'd be a lot about Islam in another beautiful hadith in

[9:23]a beautiful statement I don't think anyone in history has described the

[9:27]way I'll even have you thought about it salam describes it the

[9:31]amount artists and says ladies as you do a lot Amelie cachet

[9:36]and so it does not mean that you don't own anything in

[9:39]desert aalayam Mallika cachet though it means nothing owns you look at

[9:45]the words of Amir al-mumineen who can put it so succinctly beautifully

[9:49]precisely like that don't think that being ascetic and different in this

[9:54]world means that you don't own anything no don't let anything on

[9:59]you then you're as ahead then you've achieved that highest status Allah

[10:04]wants for his believers this is the concept observed in the vision

[10:08]and the eyes and the mind of Amir al-mumineen alehissalaam now as

[10:13]we speak about the concept of xored this night my dear brothers

[10:20]and sisters what is the benefit of being a Zayed in this

[10:22]world and how can we achieve the status how do i benefit

[10:28]if i take this idea absurd that a man I'll even have

[10:33]you thought about Islam has in this world how will this help

[10:37]me in this world and on the day of judgement the first

[10:40]fruition the first benefit observed is that you will have peace of

[10:51]mind as ulama raha the Imam on Islam says do you want

[10:54]a stressfully free life in the sense that you don't allow the

[11:01]stress to get to you to make you just depressed to make

[11:03]you crumble and fall down do you pursue this do you want

[11:09]peace of mind that peace of mind is in the hood I'll

[11:11]give you a few examples here last year I met a wonderful

[11:17]friend this friend told me he works in the real estate he's

[11:20]a real estate agent he told me say it before I was

[11:26]very attached to my business and I was influenced by my business

[11:29]if one day I would make money it was a good day

[11:36]I make some good deals I would fly over the clouds that

[11:40]day was the best sweetest day of my life I would be

[11:43]so happy no one can describe this happiness that I have I

[11:50]would go home it's a day of celebration and then if one

[11:53]day comes and it was not that good the economy is down

[11:58]real estate isn't going well I lose I don't make some good

[12:01]deals say it I go into my house and I turn my

[12:05]house into hell the minute I walk into my house I yell

[12:10]at my wife my kids I don't have peace that day until

[12:12]later on allah subhanaw taala guided me i started looking more into

[12:18]my religion when i got closer to my religion i realized what

[12:21]am i doing is this the life that i really want for

[12:25]myself if I make some material gains I get happy and if

[12:27]I lose I become so depressed and angry and I go home

[12:33]and create chaos and my family what kind of miserable life do

[12:35]I have I'm like a ball going from one court to another

[12:41]court from the courts of making games to the court of making

[12:44]losses that's not a dignified life he said say it now Allah

[12:49]has given me the inner peace if one day I achieve while

[12:52]in my business I make some good money I thank allah subhanaw

[12:56]taala i don't fly over the clouds any more but I'm thankful

[12:59]and if one day I lose I don't make some money ok

[13:03]it's not the end of the world big deal I go home

[13:07]smiling just like the previous day nothing changed I don't even make

[13:11]it visible in my house that something has changed this is it

[13:14]you make transactions you make deals but where is your heart are

[13:20]you indifferent or are you attached to these deals are you attached

[13:24]to this dunya are you attached to power money fame recognition this

[13:29]is what emulate mini Nadia sedan teaches us when it comes to

[13:32]zone if you achieve the status observed of feeling indifferent you don't

[13:39]allow your heart to be attached to this world you will have

[13:42]peace of mind whether you are a CEO my dear brothers and

[13:49]sisters or you're the average Joe Zod will bring you peace of

[13:52]mind but especially for the CEO the CEO needs more peace of

[13:57]mind than the average Joe you know why look at this research

[14:01]on the studies research shows in the United States that CEOs who

[14:05]have power who have authority and they have millions of dollars the

[14:11]rates of depression amongst them is double the average population 20 percent

[14:17]of Americans suffer from depression but 40 percent of CEOs suffer from

[14:23]depression and the highest rates of substance abuse drug abuse addiction do

[14:28]you know is amongst who not the poor guy who's struggling on

[14:32]the street yes sometimes maybe their miseries and life push them to

[14:36]addictions but one of the highest rates of addictions is amongst these

[14:39]CEOs because they're not feeling well because they have the severe attachment

[14:46]to their company they're always in competition with other people they don't

[14:52]have peace of mind because they don't have the sword their heart

[14:57]is attached to this materialistic world they don't have peace of mind

[15:01]now you see why imam ali bin abu talib re salam says

[15:05]as oh don't write all of them it's the biggest relief in

[15:11]this world in life when you detach your heart from this materialistic

[15:16]world you will sleep comfortably that night research my dear brothers and

[15:21]sisters has also been done on those who are rich on millionaires

[15:25]in the West especially in America generally speaking those who are richer

[15:31]have higher rates of depression why you would think that they have

[15:37]all the money people dream to have their money but they're never

[15:41]satisfied no amount of money satisfies them Michael Norton who comes from

[15:46]Harvard Business School he's a professor at Harvard Business School he says

[15:51]I did a study on 2,000 millionaires listen to this my dear

[15:55]brothers and sisters he says I did a study on 2,000 millionaires

[16:00]he said I found that all those whom I talked to pretty

[16:07]much they wished they had three times the wealth that they actually

[16:11]had in order to feel happy when I would tell them what

[16:15]is it that will make you happy they would say if we

[16:19]had three times more the guy who had three million said if

[16:22]I had nine million I would be happy the guy who had

[16:26]nine million he said if I had 20 seven million I'll be

[16:28]happy and the guy who had twenty-seven million said if I had

[16:30]sixty million I would be happy and it doesn't end there same

[16:35]with the billionaire's they never reach that satisfaction that fulfillment and that

[16:39]makes them depressed and they're constantly comparing themselves with others I've got

[16:45]a billion oh that guy Forbes just revealed has ten billion and

[16:49]you don't enjoy what you have at your disposal and that makes

[16:54]you depressed it makes up some of them psychotic they have mental

[16:58]illnesses because of this kind of atmosphere it's not helping them it's

[17:01]not helping them this attachment to their business to the figures that

[17:06]they're making to money is not giving them the happiness that they're

[17:12]looking for they suffer from higher rates of depression and it's not

[17:15]just them my dear brothers and sisters you know where the danger

[17:18]is their children studies have been done on the children of these

[17:21]CEOs these millionaires and rich people they fare worse than the average

[17:28]child in society even a child who comes from a poor background

[17:30]there are greater rates of anxiety and depression amongst their children and

[17:36]one reason is because these children for many of them they don't

[17:41]have a normal life it's more of a superficial life sometimes being

[17:47]the average Joe in society is wonderful my dear brothers and sisters

[17:52]believe me because not one can handle a position of authority to

[17:57]be CEO or to be a millionaire if they're not responsible with

[18:03]their money they lose who they are many of those millionaires who

[18:07]are interviewed they would say after while we lose our sense of

[18:10]identity after a while we don't even know who we are we

[18:14]don't know who we are especially if the wealth comes pretty quickly

[18:17]to them and their children suffer because their children don't go through

[18:22]struggles from the second they're born everything the whole world is prepared

[18:26]for them everything is arranged for them sometimes we need to train

[18:29]my children our children my dear brothers and sisters don't make everything

[18:35]accessible to them materialistically that's not a good way to raise them

[18:39]we need to learn how to say no to our kids sometimes

[18:43]that's how you build them that's how you train them you make

[18:46]them responsible yes I'm not asking you here to be extreme with

[18:51]your kids but every once in a while at home it's dinnertime

[18:53]and your son or daughter is expecting that delicious meal that the

[18:58]mom is cooking one day once a month once a week say

[19:02]we don't have dinner today we have some bread and cheese let's

[19:05]eat that initially your child's not going to like that no what

[19:09]do you mean I want that dinner because I'm used to it

[19:11]teach your children tell them there are millions around the world who

[19:14]don't even have this bread and cheese it's okay drink a glass

[19:18]of milk that's your dinner tonight it's not the end of the

[19:20]world and it's healthy for you too don't worry today we have

[19:24]a problem of obesity amongst children right we need to learn how

[19:27]to say no to our children if we don't they fall into

[19:31]depression and we're responsible the man are these synapses Zota raha -

[19:36]love ma the greatest relief you can find is through xored and

[19:42]the problem my dear brothers and sisters is that that mentality amongst

[19:47]the youth has shifted in 1967 ninety percent of college freshmen when

[19:52]they were asked upon entering their colleges and universities they would be

[19:59]asked what is your goal how do you envision a successful life

[20:03]you know what they would say they would say a successful life

[20:07]means that I have a philosophy of life and I know what

[20:12]I am doing having the good philosophy on life is a sign

[20:19]of success today only 30 or 40 percent of college students think

[20:23]this way when they are asked what success means to them they

[20:27]don't mention anything about philosophy of life and what life means to

[20:30]them they only talk about financial success today college students are going

[20:34]to college ask them what's your goal in life what do you

[20:38]want to achieve how will you know if you're successful or not

[20:40]usually they will cite the financial factor and that's why there's more

[20:43]depression amongst them there's more anxiety because their mind is in the

[20:47]wrong area they have an altered mindset of this world is but

[20:54]say you do more Hadean what Amir al-mumineen alia Burnaby a lot

[20:58]about his salon he teaches us what it means to truly be

[21:02]successful that's why you will find some poorer countries their mental health

[21:08]is better than the richer countries 21% of French people they have

[21:13]depression 19% of Americans but when you look at the Chinese for

[21:17]example the average Chinese population 9% why how come these billions of

[21:21]dollars are not making these nations happy what's wrong the more you're

[21:25]connected to this dunya the more your heart is attached to this

[21:29]materialistic world the more stress you will have on your mind the

[21:34]worse you will fare the more depression the more anxiety this is

[21:38]something that scientists are telling us my dear brothers and sisters but

[21:43]Imam Mahdi never thought about Islam beautifully gives us this recipe 14

[21:46]centuries ago so it really gives you peace of mind if you

[21:51]want to have peace of mind for yourself for your family ask

[21:54]yourself what are my priorities in life where is my heart can

[22:00]I truly be indifferent to this world or no and this brings

[22:03]me to the second reason why zerk is necessary for us to

[22:08]complete the trial of allah subhanaw taala without xored we will fail

[22:14]my dear brothers and sisters the greatest danger that surrounds the human

[22:18]being is when his heart is attached to this world often times

[22:22]we think of previous nations right don't you think at the time

[22:28]of Imam foreseen unease Salaam why is it that people stood against

[22:32]him knowing that he was on the right path knowing that he's

[22:35]the grandson of the Prophet Sal Allahu Allahu Allah how did they

[22:37]feel that they not have intellect did they not know right from

[22:43]wrong what made them stand with eben Ziad the corrupt governor and

[22:46]he has Eid the corrupt Khalifa oh they know right from wrong

[22:50]believe me they were not ignorant people to the point that they

[22:55]did not know who's right and who's wrong did anyone have any

[22:57]doubts about the imam hussain ali salam did anyone doubt that he

[23:00]is saying it sure Bobby ahead of Jinnah then what was the

[23:05]problem this is exactly what the problem was my dear brothers and

[23:08]sisters let me ask you this question I remember last year I

[23:15]saw a clip that really moved me in one of the countries

[23:17]they were doing they were interviewing people randomly on the street in

[23:23]a Muslim country youth elderly people men women college graduates workers anyone

[23:30]and they asked them the question they would ask them are you

[23:34]struggling financially some of them would say yes you know I am

[23:40]struggling to make ends meet ham there are lots ok we have

[23:42]our life but I wish I had more they asked them a

[23:49]following question if you were to be given six million dollars what

[23:53]would you do and they would tell you that this six million

[24:01]dollars is not pure Hanan money there are there is the rights

[24:04]of others in it would you take it or no some of

[24:08]them quickly said no no no if there's a dollar in it

[24:12]that's Haram that belongs to someone it's alright to someone I will

[24:15]not take it half of them were a little bit more honest

[24:18]they're like well if it's six million dollars and I really needed

[24:24]it I mean why not I would take it and then I

[24:25]asked a lot to forgive me and then I'll see what I

[24:28]can do about it and then a few of them were super

[24:32]honest they're like oh yes if it's six million I don't care

[24:34]if half of his half of it has rights of other people

[24:40]in it I will take it immediately once they did this interview

[24:42]with these youth with these people the Elder and the young the

[24:44]men and the woman they shocked them with something fascinating you know

[24:50]why during the time of Imam for seen thousands of people 30,000

[24:56]people gathered to fight him according to some historical accounts even Ziad

[25:03]was offering 30,000 dinars so you go and fight him on for

[25:07]saying do you know how much 30,000 dinars is six million dollars

[25:13]some of them admitted they said yes if I'm given that money

[25:19]I can establish a business I can own a house I can

[25:24]I can I can even if there's some half in it I'm

[25:26]willing I'll take it the minute your heart has the willingness to

[25:34]make a violation you will stand against the imamat for saying on

[25:37]a cell you think the test was easy for them my dear

[25:39]brothers and sisters ask the world today if you give the average

[25:44]person six million dollars what will they do this is the test

[25:47]this is what imam mahdi means miser hood to disconnect your heart

[25:50]from this world be willing to say no if you have that

[25:56]strength to say no you'll be fine but Allah will try us

[25:58]sometimes we think we're spared from these trials so only people of

[26:03]the past generations who had those difficult tests that's not going to

[26:07]test me oh Allah will test me my dear brothers and sisters

[26:09]even in this modern age the Almighty God will try me through

[26:14]my business through my financial life through my family life allah subhanaw

[26:17]taala will try me this is a trial from a last planet

[26:23]Allah Allah has made an oath in the Quran that I will

[26:25]try every single human being you know last year in Michigan the

[26:31]state of Michigan marijuana was legalized I think in Canada a few

[26:34]years ago it was legalized we're not talking about medical marijuana medical

[26:38]marijuana has its own purposes we're talking about recreational marijuana recreational marijuana

[26:44]was legalized last year in Michigan and a number of u.s.

[26:48]states also in Canadian Evans's a few brothers approached me and they

[26:52]asked me say it is it hard for me to invest in

[26:57]marijuana it generates a lot of money one brother told me I

[27:01]can make 10 million dollars if I take this opportunity what do

[27:04]I do is it Hannah or Haram tell us the fatwa I

[27:07]said to one of those brothers I told him happy me why

[27:12]are you always obsessed if something is Hanan or Haram and you're

[27:17]looking for a futur can you if you invest in marijuana can

[27:23]you sleep at night comfortably knowing you damaged hundreds of youth and

[27:27]society is that something to be proud of see how Allah tests

[27:32]us in 2019 that's the test yes 10 million dollars many people

[27:36]are willing to do anything for this amount of money 10 million

[27:41]dollars but Allah says I've given you a built-in compass now you

[27:44]can act smart and come up with one thousand justifications but no

[27:49]it's not proven that it's that harmful who said and who said

[27:54]and I don't know in in the Netherlands they've legalized it and

[27:58]everybody's living in paradise over there we can come up with thousands

[28:00]of justifications for it in the end Allah has given you an

[28:06]internal compass to know right from wrong marijuana today is a gateway

[28:11]drug do you know what a gateway drug is I've dealt with

[28:14]youth who are addicted on severe drugs cocaine to heroin you name

[28:22]it you know what started marijuana was the gateway drug through marijuana

[28:28]they started experimenting other things and then they finally ended up there

[28:30]you think those drug addicts from day one they go and try

[28:34]cocaine or heroin that's not how it goes it starts through these

[28:40]harmless drugs right and there are people who want to invest in

[28:44]that or invest in this when you invest in something my dear

[28:48]brothers and sisters ask yourself is my investment helping society or no

[28:54]how many times do we think this way is it helping humanity

[28:56]or my only concern is to make a profit if my only

[29:01]concern is to make a profit I may be with those thirty

[29:02]people who stood against imam husain on his forum 30,000 dinars in

[29:08]that time it could buy you anything you wanted in the world

[29:10]of that time just like today's six million dollars can get you

[29:15]anything that you want any car any house you want you can

[29:16]get it with the sum of money but this is how allah

[29:20]subhanaw taala tries us my dear brothers and sisters zort means eyes

[29:23]sever my heart i am indifferent and i show a lot of

[29:29]the willingness every single day i work on myself and I show

[29:32]gossip a no Tata I am not willing I know the reality

[29:37]of this world I will not be deceived I will not be

[29:39]fooled that's how you become a true follower of Amir al-mumineen Hani

[29:46]Salaam let me tell you more not only a follower you can

[29:48]also be a brother to me Amir al-mumineen yes a man I

[29:53]leave Namba Talib describes who his brothers are do you want to

[29:57]be the brother of imam ali bin have you thought about islam

[29:59]imagine if four slaves of Amir al-mumineen that's the greatest honor God

[30:03]could give us to be the slave of a mule meaning who's

[30:08]the greatest slave of allah subhanaw taala after the Prophet SAW Allahu

[30:11]Allahu Allah but in my mind even every part of says if

[30:13]you do one thing you become my brother the Imam describes who

[30:18]his brothers are in nature Baraka I listen to the words of

[30:20]Amir al-mumineen the imam ali salam says connelly fema maava i won't

[30:27]fill nah I'll tell you who my brothers were look at the

[30:30]description of Ameer al-mumineen how can you not fall in love with

[30:33]Ali when he says these words you know what he says in

[30:38]describing his brothers he says Kabara who feei any sorrow dunya Fiorina

[30:44]what makes my brother's big in my eyes is the smallness of

[30:50]the world in their eyes the smaller you see this world the

[30:56]greater a mutant woman sees you and he says you become my

[30:59]brother and the bigger you see this world the more big of

[31:04]a deal this dunya and the materialistic aspect of this world is

[31:07]the smaller I become in the eyes of immutable this is the

[31:11]secret this is the golden key that in my mind even every

[31:15]thought about his salon teaches us yes if Allah give you comfort

[31:18]to be thankful don't make it a goal in your life to

[31:23]achieve comfort first of all there is no real comfort you think

[31:25]you're getting it but it's not created here once an imam as-sadiq

[31:29]on insulin he told his companions he said my dear companions why

[31:33]are you always searching for something that doesn't exist that's impossible for

[31:40]you to secure they tell him what do you mean what do

[31:46]you mean what is it impossible for us to secure the imam

[31:49]ali salam says allah had to for dunya absolute comfort in this

[31:52]life you will not find it in this life Allah has kept

[31:57]it for the Asura don't spend your entire life looking for comfort

[32:01]you will never achieve that comfort the comfort can only come in

[32:08]the form of spirituality that allah subhanaw taala delivers to your heart

[32:13]and I be the karela he taught me a noob by being

[32:15]close to Allah feeling the presence of allah subhana wa ta'ala your

[32:22]hearts will be at rest there is no comforts in this world

[32:25]it doesn't even make sense to go after comforts in this world

[32:30]I'll give you an example let's say you have an urgent interview

[32:33]or final exam that you're rushing to it's at 12 p.m.

[32:39]you're late you're on the freeway you're trying to speed to get

[32:41]to that interview it's the interview that will determine your future it's

[32:45]the final exam that will determine your future now imagine you're getting

[32:49]there you have minutes you're getting there now the seeds that you're

[32:56]sitting on in the car is not that comfortable so what do

[32:58]you do you pull over it's 11:50 a.m.

[33:01]your interviews in ten minutes you pull over you spend 10 minutes

[33:06]fidgeting with your chair trying to make it comfortable so you can

[33:12]go to that interview would any sane person do this you're getting

[33:16]there in ten minutes but the seat is not that comfortable you

[33:19]pull on the side to adjust it to make sure that it's

[33:24]perfect and you spend ten minutes making it perfect and you missed

[33:26]your interview you think this is a silly example idea brothers this

[33:31]is life this is all of us we're racing towards a final

[33:38]destination but every minute we're pulling on the side trying to make

[33:42]adjustments here and there adjustments that don't count adjustments that will not

[33:48]bring us any sort of happiness any long-term happiness and that's why

[33:53]I mom I'll even have you thought about he said I'm teaches

[33:56]us do you want to reach that sort oppose your desires always

[34:02]show your desires who's boss be in control yes the amount -

[34:06]enough says every once in a while it's very healthy even when

[34:08]it comes to Holland endeavors Haddad things say no simple things why

[34:13]because you need to teach yourself the habit of knowing who's in

[34:20]charge there's a delicious meal you really want it that day once

[34:23]in a while say no to your desire of course not here

[34:27]at that time eat the delicious food but test yourself it goes

[34:31]a long way some scholars even recommend everyone so now I'll once

[34:35]a month sleep on the floor no mattress no pillow can you

[34:42]do it sleep on the earth sleep on the earth and see

[34:44]the next morning when you wake up you might be a little

[34:49]bit sore I agree but you'll sway cup much more powerful much

[34:52]stronger you will appreciate the blessings of Allah you will be stronger

[34:56]that day you will have a greater sense of commitment that they

[35:01]try it try it one night that sometimes how you allow your

[35:05]heart to be disconnected it goes a long way my dear brothers

[35:10]and sisters but allah subhanho trying to test us in this world

[35:13]do I really want comfort most of us we want comfort we

[35:18]envision a life without any problems when we pray and we fast

[35:25]we think that's the core of a bada the core of a

[35:28]bada is when Allah puts me in a difficult situation and Allah

[35:31]is monitoring my reaction am I willing to make a violation am

[35:36]I willing to show anger to show disrespect to my parents and

[35:39]family members or no that's how allah subhanaw taala tries me especially

[35:43]when my parents grow older and I think they're getting illogical they're

[35:48]frustrating me a lot did not just create you to pray my

[35:53]dear brothers and sisters when your parents tick you off and you're

[35:56]in ranged that's why Allah created you to test you and see

[35:58]what are you going to do in that moment that's your test

[36:03]and Mela when you have problems with your in-laws your in-laws are

[36:07]giving you a hard time Allah created you for moments like that

[36:12]how is he going to respond is he going to be evil

[36:13]is he going to be unfair is he going to tell his

[36:18]wife you have no right to go and see your parents anymore

[36:21]he sees his parents whenever he wants he has free access but

[36:23]his wife had on she sees their parents once a week once

[36:27]a month it's a disaster thousands of people in the community are

[36:29]like that unfortunately Allah created you for moments like these to see

[36:35]your Iman to see your willingness are you willing to make a

[36:38]violation or no when it comes to inheritance this is one big

[36:40]problems that we have in our families my dear brothers and sisters

[36:44]when it comes to inheritance the father dies there are brothers and

[36:47]sisters the sisters they don't know exactly what the father had what

[36:51]his assets are the brothers take their the share of their sisters

[36:57]from the inheritance happens every single day every single day they have

[37:02]more power financially business-wise they take more of your share and last

[37:08]teaching you if you took a single dollar more from your sister

[37:10]then you're willing to stand against a man person if you're given

[37:13]thirty thousand coins that's the reality of this life but if you

[37:19]teach your heart I'm not willing then you succeed in the path

[37:22]of Allah then you have honored the legacy of Amir al-mumineen Hadi
