[0:09][Music] for the purification of the souls the enlightenment of the hearts

[0:30]the acceptance of of the deeds and for the hastening of the

[0:33]reappearance of the awaited Savior Enlighten your souls and the atmosphere with

[0:40]the recitation of salawat upon Muhammad Muhammad My respected Elders sisters and

[0:54]brothers one of the important health tips that are presented in this

[1:00]day and age by experts by medical professions is the need to

[1:08]build muscle the building of muscles within our bodies is considered a

[1:14]critical factor in the overall health and the well-being of a human

[1:19]being the idea of resistance training and the development of muscles in

[1:24]our body is something that Fitness instructors and those in the world

[1:30]of sport will tell you is highly important and according to statistics

[1:37]only 30% of the population in the United States develop or have

[1:44]instigated the idea of such programs the idea of the need to

[1:54]strengthen their muscles and develop new ones today science tells us those

[2:00]who invest in such exercise by either going to the gym or

[2:04]for example when it comes to doing such activities at home such

[2:11]as for instance situps pushups the lifting of Weights using dumbbells and

[2:20]other methods of strengthening one's internal muscles and building new ones those

[2:28]have come forward and said there are a number of great benefits

[2:31]for those who do this amongst the benefits is that you'll strengthen

[2:35]the bones in the body you will also make your heart stronger

[2:42]it is also something that will bring about the burning of calories

[2:47]you'll find it that it helps mental health it helps for example

[2:57]with digestion and it increases the metabolic rate the idea is today

[3:02]many will tell you and I we need to invest in whatever

[3:05]is possible to gain much more muscle and you see mashallah some

[3:13]of our brothers especially who have become experts in weightlifting who have

[3:21]become experts in training others when it comes to this fascinating area

[3:26]the religion of Islam has come forward and said that a Believer

[3:31]who is stronger is better than a Believer who's weaker [Music] muh

[3:46]in a famous narration says Allah subhah waala loves a human being

[3:56]who has strength and in another narration it is said that the

[4:04]have said that Allah has a right over you that your body

[4:17]has a right over you as well in other words most of

[4:23]us unfortunately in the path of gaining spirituality improving our connection with

[4:27]Allah subhana tala May ignore our bodies meaning when it comes to

[4:34]healthy eating when it comes to regular exercise when it comes to

[4:38]enough sleep we don't give our bodies its attention the have said

[4:42]that this body of yours is a am Allah subhana wa tala

[4:48]has given it to you so you and I must look after

[4:52]it must not neglect it must not take this matter lightly and

[4:55]the idea that some people sometimes question and they say as a

[4:58]Believer I don't have time to for example do exercise I don't

[5:05]have time for example to look after my body I am busy

[5:12]coming to my jalis I am busy working I am busy for

[5:13]example looking after my family yet the religion says it's not sufficient

[5:18]not good enough as an excuse to use Dean to say I

[5:25]cannot build for example muscles or become healthier meaning what meaning it

[5:30]is all also your Islamic responsibility not to neglect this important part

[5:36]and that's the carrier of your soul that's why I remember reading

[5:40]when it comes to the lives of the imams Did they perform

[5:45]exercise and muscle building no doubt how many times you have seen

[5:50]the heroics and heard about the bravery and the courage of the

[5:54]bravery and the courage of the holy prophet the expertise of the

[5:59]b in the Warfare inala do you think this came overnight do

[6:04]you think the would sit there just eat and consume food don't

[6:10]do enough exercise when it comes to the battlefield all of a

[6:13]sudden they're the best warriors not at all they were those who

[6:16]were concerned and would invest time to make sure that their bodies

[6:23]were healthy look at this narration in bhar it is said that

[6:26]the holy prophet peace be upon him and his family one day

[6:30]was watching andus wrestle they were wrestling with each other was next

[6:39]to the prophet and the prophet of Islam looked at them wrestling

[6:43]and when the prophet looks at something and supports it it means

[6:46]it's good because the prophet of Islam would come and say teach

[6:52]your children sports sports should not be something that's considered against religion

[6:59]Many Times sports should be encouraged should be developed the prophet of

[7:03]Islam would say at that time these three Sports were very important

[7:11]swimming the idea of horse riding and archery today it could be

[7:16]something else every society has its own way as long as these

[7:21]Sports and exercise do not fall into the category of the Disobedience

[7:25]of Allah subh tala when the prophet saw IM Hassam wrestling with

[7:30]IM Hussein the narration says he used to say Hass he go

[7:35]for it keep doing it so say looks at him and says

[7:41]Allah what about my son Hussein the prophet looks at her and

[7:45]says next to me is jbra and I can hear him say

[7:49]Hussein yes come on oh Hussein you can do it when J

[7:55]are encouraging Sports you recognize that exercise and building muscle has its

[8:01]place within the religion Quran endorses it what do you mean someone

[8:05]says Quran says you should do exercise you should be strong without

[8:11]a doubt when you look at individuals like musam mus was known

[8:16]to be somebody who had strength just a small touch from Musa

[8:24]finished off a human being the idea is Quran tells us there

[8:30]was a king chosen for B is his name is talut Allah

[8:34]says I chose talut to lead the army of the Believers against

[8:40]Goliath jalut in the famous story found in Surah bakar what was

[8:45]the distinguishing factors of what was so special about him Allah says

[8:53]I gave him knowledge but I also gave him strength meaning what

[8:57]meaning sometimes we are are content with just one of them I

[9:04]have that's enough I don't need to have strength of the body

[9:07]however it is clear from the Holy Quran and the practice and

[9:12]the teachings of the and that is a Believer should not neglect

[9:17]either their bodies or the development of their souls yet when it

[9:22]comes to this somebody will ask this question somebody will ask does

[9:38]he have specific recommendations when it comes to muscle building has he

[9:44]given us tips on regards to gaining muscle and developing the Inner

[9:48]Strength can we find this and where is it found this is

[9:54]important a discussion that is not often talked about from this angle

[9:58]but without a doubt very relevant to our lives the definition of

[10:03]the muscle building that is more important than anything else is presented

[10:07]when it comes to the story at the time of the holy

[10:12]prophet M this particular individual one day was what was picking up

[10:27]weights he was seen to to be lifting weights in front of

[10:34]people people were very very much in awe so they saw his

[10:36]strength he was a weightlifter and they had all gathered around him

[10:44]the prophet of Islam passed by and saw this interest groups of

[10:47]people all fascinated by the strength of this individual who's carrying heavy

[10:52]rocks when he was carrying heavy rocks they were all in admiration

[10:56]the prophet looked at them and said shall I tell tell you

[11:01]who's stronger than this person they all turned said is there one

[11:06]who's stronger than this human being the prophet says the really stronger

[11:14]person is the person who holds them back themselves back from lashing

[11:18]out and reacting at the time of anger stronger than the human

[11:25]being who's carrying heavy weights where is the prophet of Islam trying

[11:30]to Lead You and I towards the very important powerful delicate key

[11:36]subject of the greatest muscle within our lives someone today tells you

[11:41]you go to the gym what's the number one muscle you need

[11:46]to develop what's the muscle that you need to strengthen what's the

[11:50]muscle that needs to be the strongest the answer to this is

[11:54]what it's the muscle of the will known as Al the will

[12:01]power meaning what today scientists behavioral experts psychologists therapists have discussed in

[12:08]detail this very important prerequisite for success for the human beings you

[12:13]look at athletes you look at people who are experts and have

[12:19]reached excellence in the world of science in the world of politics

[12:23]even in the world of religion any person who's reached success will

[12:28]never have reached it without this important muscle being strengthened the ability

[12:34]for an individual to do what they ought to be doing not

[12:38]what they want to be doing please understand someone says what is

[12:41]the definition of will willower Al is what is when I do

[12:47]what I am supposed to be doing not what I want to

[12:51]be doing human beings many times I want to do many things

[12:53]but it's not supposed to be done meaning I put off important

[12:59]tasks I do not fulfill my duties and responsibilities willpower is when

[13:04]I put these on the side and I choose what is important

[13:06]what needs to be done and I fulfill it with conviction and

[13:14]with determination that's why today there are many people who have looked

[13:17]at this area and have studied it in detail if you look

[13:20]there are books written many many different papers presented many different clips

[13:26]you'll find online how do I gain muscle with within how do

[13:32]I become a stronger human being where I want to do something

[13:34]and I will do it for example there is this professor in

[13:37]the United States his name is Professor Paul Bist he has written

[13:43]the book it's called willpower rediscovering the human beings greatest strength and

[13:49]he talks about what you and I could do to become better

[13:52]in sharpening our will in becoming stronger willed how many people write

[13:58]New Year's resolution utions in January January is the month for New

[14:03]Year's resolutions you'll find people who will say I want to lose

[14:08]weight you'll find people who want to say I want to quit

[14:10]smoking you'll find others who say I want to find a new

[14:14]job and different descriptions for newest resolutions what's the percentage of people

[14:17]who stick to these New Year's resolutions according to statistics in the

[14:21]United States maximum after a month %.

[14:24]why why is it that they're not doing what they ought to

[14:30]be doing because of the lack of willpower and incidentally most of

[14:34]the discussions that we have from the member and regarding the refining

[14:38]of the soul and becoming better human beings and stopping sinning and

[14:43]getting closer to Allah and learning from the has its all its

[14:47]roots to willpower because if I sit here for 50 hours telling

[14:51]you and I you must stop sitting we must get closer to

[14:54]Allah you lack the willpower forget it you will not be able

[15:00]to do it you and I will struggle if we can't Implement

[15:04]that change in our lives that's why I remember one father was

[15:09]constantly telling his son that when there is a will there is

[15:12]a way one scholar went said in my dealings when there is

[15:16]a will there is a family but that's a different will yes

[15:19]in the idea that when you have a determination to do something

[15:25]you will make it happen he taught his son his son said

[15:27]yes I believe it but sometimes it's impossible he said don't ever

[15:32]think nothing is impossible because if you break down the word impossible

[15:37]it is what I am possible impossible it's I am possible when

[15:41]it comes to this one day he was arrested the father was

[15:46]arrested taken to prison for a particular accusation every year the Son

[15:50]and the father have this thing where they do together they dig

[15:55]the garden and they plant certain crops in the garden and this

[15:59]was an activity they do every year this time this son who

[16:04]was young maybe 10 11 would be missing his father when it

[16:07]was time for the garden to be dug and the areas to

[16:13]be planted in their massive Garden the father sitting in the prison

[16:17]sent him a letter saying to him my dear son I miss

[16:19]being with you but I'd like to give you a secret that

[16:23]in these areas in the garden I've have hidden some guns make

[16:27]sure you don't tell anyone the police intercepted the letter they stormed

[16:34]the house they dug those areas they found nothing the son wrote

[16:38]a letter to his father saying father what's going on the father

[16:42]wrote back to him you're very welcome when there is a will

[16:49]there is a way I from the prison helped you to dig

[16:52]and made sure that what we used to do actually took place

[16:58]that's why today if you were to for example go on this

[17:00]journey and ask yourself this question this greatest muscle within that Allah

[17:04]subhana tala has granted me how do I make it stronger how

[17:10]do I develop this muscle how do I strengthen it today if

[17:12]I'm we picking up weights if I am for example exercising regularly

[17:18]we are told stretching this muscle is what is needed how do

[17:22]I stretch the muscle that is the will the in my life

[17:26]there are a number of tips given by what by experts before

[17:30]we come to am they say there are a number of things

[17:34]you and I could do and maybe some of these can be

[17:39]beneficial to you and I maybe we can note them down and

[17:41]apply them if you're struggling there are today who are struggling when

[17:45]it comes to watching Haram on YouTube on social media they can't

[17:52]they're scrolling on Instagram and the algorithms are suggesting these clips one

[17:57]after the other and they're not able to say say no to

[18:02]their desires for example or their Temptations to be associated with the

[18:05]opposite gender as far as boyfriend girlfriend or listening to Haram for

[18:10]example or discussions that involve backbiting or slandering anything that's unfortunately not

[18:16]acceptable people struggle how do I become better in this regard sometimes

[18:21]we need to look at tools that have been made available for

[18:25]you and I sometimes we need to implement them in our lives

[18:27]one tool that's being given is called c a cat very important

[18:32]for you and I to understand it this is known as counter

[18:35]Ambush training what's counter Ambush training they say that when an individual

[18:40]finds a Temptation that idea and that Temptation ambushes their mind they

[18:47]become slaves to it they give an example to do with food

[18:53]they say for example you and I are on a diet we

[18:57]come to where we come to the house in the kitchen there

[18:59]is something which we're not supposed to have because we're trying to

[19:03]restrict our food intake let's say for example a cheesecake we can

[19:09]talk about food when you're not fasting now yes let's say for

[19:13]example something that's very tempting when you look at that it's ambushing

[19:17]your thoughts it's telling you an i you can have it it's

[19:22]there in front of you it's okay you'll have a day off

[19:25]tomorrow start again so there's all these thoughts going on in your

[19:31]mind they say you need to Ambush it how do you counter

[19:33]Ambush it you say to yourself first of all I will have

[19:39]this cake but in 10 minutes and you leave that area so

[19:44]you go somewhere else you're no longer in that particular place by

[19:48]changing the environment you have broken already the impact of that thought

[19:54]in your mind 10 minutes later the chances are you'll be much

[19:57]stronger and will be able to resist that thought than you were

[20:01]when you were next to this tempting aspect which can also be

[20:06]used when it comes to things that we unfortunately do in our

[20:10]lives you may be able to trick your brain to believe that

[20:15]it's okay I will do it later but when you change the

[20:18]environment you will be able to gain strength to say no that's

[20:23]one way another way that for example this professor has mentioned is

[20:27]what is to remove everything that will make it easy to commit

[20:32]that act meaning what there are people today who are addicted to

[20:39]social media it's a term now social media addiction they cannot be

[20:43]away from it except for what few minutes they're edging yes all

[20:48]the time they have to be on these particular platforms the best

[20:52]way one of the ways to defeat this is to do what

[20:56]is to place a barrier between them and the access of this

[21:01]meaning what yes there are apps today that control the number of

[21:04]hours or time that you can be on these you can make

[21:09]an obstacle before you and that particular aspect like keeping the phone

[21:13]away from you and not always there if you're addicted to watching

[21:16]things on TV taking the socket or the TV plug away so

[21:22]next time you want to switch on the TV it's like ah

[21:24]I'll have to go and put it into the electric socket or

[21:27]the electric thing on the wall that extra step will make it

[21:34]more difficult to do what you want to do in other words

[21:38]psychologically psychologists have said this creates a barrier if you place a

[21:44]barrier between yourself and the ACT you will what you will un

[21:46]then later decide not to do that particular act that's another one

[21:51]another thing they say is you need to start from young age

[21:56]meaning what there is this marshmallow test that most people I've heard

[22:00]of that was done for children in the 1960s or the 70s

[22:04]they placed children and they placed marshmallows before them and said to

[22:09]them you need to wait 15 minutes and then you can have

[22:11]these marshmallows they measured who didn't wait 15 minutes and had them

[22:18]and those who waited and then they studied their lives until they

[22:21]were in their 40s they showed the children who resisted having those

[22:26]marshmallows at the beginning and waited until 15 minutes had a much

[22:30]better standard of life and well-being both healthwise and mental wise whereas

[22:37]those who are Hasty could not resist had weak willpower when they're

[22:43]young had much more problems later on in life so when it

[22:47]comes to our children unfortunately some parents they are the instigators of

[22:51]weak weak willpower from a young age whatever the child wants they

[22:55]give whatever the child demands they allow yes they are not necessarily

[23:03]putting limits they are not there to discipline their children they're there

[23:08]to pamper their children that's the problem that many times the generation

[23:13]that's growing in the west today are sadly reacting to the parenting

[23:17]styles of the generation back home in Iraq in Iran in Afghanistan

[23:21]Pakistan what do you mean they say our parents used to rule

[23:28]by the stick and in Iraq by the sandals yes but here

[23:34]we have to do the opposite you know there is a a

[23:42]famous Iraqi proverb which highlights this this man by the name of

[23:45]mull used to be living in Iraq he used to be an

[23:50]individual who would force his children to pray and if they did

[23:57]not pray Sal he would beat them usually with his shoes or

[24:01]sandals so they decided one way to avert the punishment of our

[24:07]father is to trick him to make him think that we pray

[24:10]how he would sleep downstairs they would sleep on the roof because

[24:15]it's very hot in the summer one of them wakes up one

[24:17]of his sons wakes up at night at time of f he

[24:21]would pour water down the drain so the father downstairs thinks that

[24:26]they have woken up for f because they're doing w so he

[24:30]doesn't check up on them so they continued doing this for a

[24:34]while until one day he said let me check are they really

[24:36]praying or not he went up to the roof he saw all

[24:41]of them asleep except one person pouring water he looks at him

[24:44]and says how dare you all these months you're tricking me he

[24:48]said look we were not praying for Allah we were praying CH

[24:51]we are looking to stay away from the hardship of M you

[24:56]are the cause of our problems yes sadly that parenting style doesn't

[25:03]work meaning what today there are there is a reaction to this

[25:06]I speak to parents and they say you know my daughter is

[25:11]nine she's not ready to fast and she's not ready to wear

[25:14]hijab and she's not ready to pray so I am letting her

[25:18]decide whenever she's ready molana when she's ready she will come to

[25:22]me and say here bah I'm ready to wake up for f

[25:26]I love Allah all of a sudden when when I am 65

[25:34]or 70 a neither this or this neither or neither extremism or

[25:38]being lenient when it comes to Parenting sometimes the willpower needs to

[25:43]develop from a young age in order for the human being to

[25:48]gain this sometimes put them in a difficult position let them suffer

[25:51]a little bit suffer in the sense that not one that threatens

[25:53]their life but let them feel the pain let them work hard

[25:59]so that they feel what they feel the importance of struggle in

[26:03]life at the same time there is a number of other recommendations

[26:06]that have been presented one of them is by having positive routine

[26:13]habits meaning what if I am an individual who believes I can

[26:17]do things and has a good outlook in life I will be

[26:22]what looking as a person who has good strong willpower sometimes you

[26:26]have people who are always negative I remember during covid most of

[26:32]us at home not able to come to mosque not able to

[26:35]come to husia not able to go for Z Subhan Allah some

[26:40]of us at that time said yah please remove this from us

[26:45]and Subhan Allah when it's removed we have forgotten it we are

[26:48]no longer grateful yes whereas at that time we were saying we

[26:51]wish to go back to ourse we wish to go back to

[26:55]our normal ways of remembering Allah and the one individual used to

[27:03]sometimes message me and saying this is it we are doomed there

[27:05]is no way out of this it's all hell from here yes

[27:09]and before he used to say why are we trying so hard

[27:11]Allah will put us all in Janam anyway and I remember telling

[27:17]him why are you so negative in life why do you have

[27:19]a very dark view of everything sometimes if you and I are

[27:25]with kinds of people who weaken our resolve our determination our self-control

[27:30]and our willpower we will invariably be weak as well if I

[27:34]have a friend who always tells me you can do this I

[27:37]will help you this is great we can achieve this you have

[27:40]the ability I will be encouraged that's why you have these successful

[27:47]Sports managers and coaches who are always positively looking at things who

[27:52]never give up who are always hard workking and tell their for

[27:54]example team yes you were defeated heavily today but look at your

[27:57]strength you can pick yourself up that's why it is recommended to

[28:04]always be around positive people and other thing they say is start

[28:08]small if you want to have a change in your life don't

[28:12]look for something immediately that's big start something that's small yes for

[28:15]example one of the things that we lack as communities in this

[28:20]day and age and I'll be honest with you unfortunately our youth

[28:24]are not reading books enough in this day and age all because

[28:28]of the phone all because of social media you ask yourself this

[28:32]question over the last year from last Shah Ramadan to this Shah

[28:35]Ramadan how many Islamic books have you read how many Islamic books

[28:42]have you finished people say I'm struggling I don't have time aib

[28:46]you don't have time or you don't have willpower which one is

[28:49]it yes maybe you need to start small maybe get a small

[28:55]booklet or print a few articles which have depth in that understanding

[28:59]I mean depth because many times maalis give you the tip you

[29:04]and I need to strengthen our need to strengthen our relationship with

[29:10]Allah through depth and extensive knowledge therefore many times if I start

[29:15]small it helps when it comes to he comes forward and gives

[29:27]us a wonderful prescription in for gaining the important muscle within the

[29:34]willpower in Arabic the word for exercise and sports is those of

[29:43]you Arab they know it's IM says I practice Sport and exercise

[29:49]but that of the in says my form of muscle building and

[30:02]exercise as far as the NS is concerned is through a number

[30:09]of key aspects but the first is Association and God Consciousness meaning

[30:16]what that if I want to strengthen my will I must at

[30:22]the outset be an individual who's reliant on Allah waala and strengthen

[30:27]my muscle through tawa meaning what Allah says the objective is to

[30:39]seek that's why the month of Ramadan is the best month for

[30:42]muscle building month of Ramadan is the greatest month to develop the

[30:48]muscle within to become a better willed individual to have the strength

[30:54]of the inner muscle because we are gaining tawa and ta is

[31:00]what we me must seek in this holy month of Ramadan meaning

[31:05]what ta is to be able to see that Allah is watching

[31:07]me at all times and I feel embarrassed to do something that

[31:13]Allah doesn't want me to do IM says tawa is when Allah

[31:15]finds you where he wants you to be and does not find

[31:20]you where he is not wanting you to be it's simple as

[31:25]that that's why if you and I develop a system of utilizing

[31:26]the month of Ramadan it's the great start for building the inner

[31:30]strength and self-control and willpower I remember reading this particular individual who

[31:36]understood tawa his name indeed was an individual who has uh the

[31:41]the interpretation of Dreams IB serin IM serin said one day I

[31:49]was somebody who ordered a piece of cloth in order for it

[31:55]to be prepared by a tailor I went to the shop I

[32:00]said can you please prepare this cloth or for me and whatever

[32:03]and I saw an individual who is also doing the same a

[32:10]lady so the shopkeeper told me later when I picked my piece

[32:14]of cloth they said to me you you go and deliver this

[32:17]for this lady because she can't come to pick up her clothes

[32:19]I said very well I'll go knock on the door and I

[32:23]will give her this piece of cloth he said I went and

[32:25]knocked on the door of this lady's house she opened the door

[32:29]and said please come in I cannot come out please come in

[32:33]and place the cloth inside the house the moment I came inside

[32:36]the house she closed the door when she closed the door she

[32:38]said to me if you do not listen and do what I

[32:43]ask you to do I will go and tell the world that

[32:48]you have committed fornication you have committed Haram with me so you

[32:54]have two choices you either listen to what I say or your

[33:01]reputation will be ruined it will be destroyed there is no way

[33:04]out if you were in his position which option would you choose

[33:08]and trust me if you say no no I don't care let

[33:12]my reputation be destroyed would you really do that Quran says if

[33:16]you are an individual who is a m who remembers Allah who's

[33:23]always observant of Allah Allah will never leave you alone in these

[33:26]situations Allah says if you are patient and have tawa Allah will

[33:38]find you a third way out he will give you way that

[33:44]you will never have thought about you would never have thought okay

[33:47]I need to do this that's the way to get out of

[33:51]this very difficult situation this particular individual said to her okay no

[33:56]problem but before anything happens I need to go to the restroom

[34:01]excuse what I'm about to say but this is what the story

[34:06]is he went to the bathroom restroom he smothered himself with his

[34:11]own waist excrement and he came out he said kalas here I

[34:14]am she said you look terrible you smell get out of here

[34:18]they say that later he washed himself and whatever everywhere he went

[34:22]people could smell fragrance of Musk from him natural not one that

[34:29]he puts the idea here is if an individual has that relationship

[34:32]with Allah gives him or her the keys to think of something

[34:39]in the last minute may Allah bless the soul ofi the author

[34:45]of Great of the Quran died and he had not written the

[34:53]book A he's the author of the book so what he wrote

[34:59]it in Barak how did he write the book when he died

[35:02]they buried him very quickly they washed his body they put a

[35:08]shroud and they buried him in the grave Allah gave him his

[35:11]life back you know sometimes you go through this near-death experience so

[35:14]your heart stops but for a short period so his heart began

[35:20]to beat and he opened his eyes he found himself where 6

[35:27]feet under inside the grave now now imagine you and I in

[35:32]that situation trust me you can't call 911 you can't you don't

[35:38]have a phone this great scholar had the tawa and a connection

[35:41]with Allah the first thing he thought about was speaking to not

[35:46]screaming help help what am I going to do I'm going to

[35:49]die what's this it's the worst thing how could this happen Ya

[35:51]Allah why did you let this happen no no no no no

[35:55]no he said Ya Allah if you let me live if you

[35:58]save me I will write a of the Quran it's up to

[36:03]you it's all in your hands there was a man who used

[36:07]to be a thief who would hear that for example a scholar

[36:10]or someone well known has died he would go and look for

[36:16]the grave open up the grave and steal the Shroud so he

[36:19]comes and opens the grave digs the soil out at the moment

[36:25]he gets to the the the pieces of for example concrete on

[36:27]top of the body he sees the movement he's about to panic

[36:32]to come out of the Grave shei calls him wait Allah has

[36:35]saved my life through you I know what you have come to

[36:40]do you want my kein help me get home and I will

[36:43]give you my kein don't worry Subhan Allah imagine his family are

[36:48]doing a Maj F he knocks on the door he says I'm

[36:53]back Subhan Allah you know by the way the doesn't say I'm

[36:57]back I just made it up but the point here is that

[36:58]he then this man who who saved him or or opened up

[37:03]the grave later became a t he asked forgiveness from Allah and

[37:06]would stop stating by the point that we'd like to emphasize is

[37:11]that that connection with Allah says this if you can attain it

[37:14]in the month of Ramadan is the number one praza to build

[37:19]that muscle what else he gives a number of advice regarding this

[37:21]so that we can go away with practical tips of strengthening the

[37:27]will within our lives the second thing IM says is sometimes in

[37:39]life what we need to do is go against desires now that

[37:45]requires the will but there is a starting point where is the

[37:47]starting point please focus on this the starting point is on what

[37:50]things that are please Focus one day was walking in the markets

[37:58]he saw a man selling meat so the man said to him

[38:03]please buy some meat Imam said no thank you I don't want

[38:10]to so the man thought Imam doesn't have money he said to

[38:13]him it's okay take it and bring the money later Imam looks

[38:21]at him and says and I will not have that meat meaning

[38:25]what sometimes you and I are in the state of what instant

[38:32]gra gratification whatever we want we have it's hot I want ice

[38:36]cream I have ice cream I'm a bit tired I go to

[38:40]sleep I want a cup of water I immediately drink I want

[38:42]some sweet I crave Uber Eats Etc every time there is a

[38:47]need for me to have something I immediately want it I must

[38:50]have it there is this I want culture Amir says if you

[38:55]want your will to be strong against sins if you want to

[38:58]have this ability to say no to the Disobedience of Allah you

[39:04]need to say no to what to things which are mu and

[39:08]control your desires when it comes to things which are normal meaning

[39:14]what they say that ours has a number of faculties one of

[39:16]them is the faculty of desire and another is the faculty faculty

[39:21]of intellect this faculty of the desire if I am in control

[39:26]of it it's like an animal that needs to To Be Tamed

[39:30]it's like a wild horse that I need to be in control

[39:31]of if I'm in control of that wild horse I able to

[39:35]do what I'm able to always steer it in the way that

[39:41]I want to and not necessarily do what and not necessarily go

[39:45]towards wherever it takes me I remember reading this beautiful story at

[39:50]the time of IM ja one day he was told there is

[40:06]a Christian monk who is making people leave Islam he said how

[40:09]they said to him he has knowledge to the extent that if

[40:15]anything is hidden by people he can see through their arms hands

[40:18]he has knowledge which what normally human beings don't he said very

[40:23]well ask him to come and see me so the monk comes

[40:29]to IM and IM has something in his hands that's hidden the

[40:33]man looks at him Imam said tell me what's in my hands

[40:39]the man said I cannot he said why he said I am

[40:45]seeing things which are incredible he said what are you seeing he

[40:48]said I'm seeing Paradise I'm seeing amazing Gardens I'm seeing something beautiful

[40:53]I've never seen before I don't understand Imam said to him yes

[41:00]what I have in my hands is part from the soil of

[41:02]TBA of the grave of my grandfather AB abdah Hussein and this

[41:08]is what part of jna isn't it then the Imam says to

[41:12]him how did you reach this position where you are able to

[41:16]see things people can't the man said to him I go against

[41:19]my nefs whatever my nefs tells me to do I go against

[41:23]it if I want to drink cold water I drink hot water

[41:28]if I want to sleep I resist Imam said what is your

[41:31]NS telling you now he said my nefs is telling me if

[41:37]he has part of Jenna Paradise on his hands his religion must

[41:40]be the truth Imam said so will you practice what you've always

[41:44]done he said I have to if I go against my navs

[41:48]I have to embrace the religion therefore he stood up and said

[41:59]next day there is a long line of people waiting to see

[42:04]the miracle of this person the first person that comes has hiding

[42:08]something hiding the man this new Muslim looks at him he can't

[42:14]see anything he's now lost the ability he rushes back to IM

[42:17]he says yesterday I became Muslim now I've lost all my abilities

[42:20]Imam said Allah was rewarding you in dun for going against your

[42:26]naps and giving you this now that you've become Muslim your reward

[42:28]is in you don't need this anymore it's gone therefore the second

[42:36]tip gives is try to go against your naps when it comes

[42:40]to things that do not necessarily impact you heavily the third is

[42:46]constant accountability the have said if you don't hold yourself accountable you're

[42:53]not one of us meaning what meaning that every day if I

[42:58]can once a week once a month once a year on the

[43:01]nights of is the month of account the nights of accountability I

[43:03]sit down and think with myself I'm I for example doing the

[43:09]right things what can I do better this will help when it

[43:11]comes to my willpower because next time I will hold myself indeed

[43:14]accountable another fourth tip from is what's most people associated with those

[43:24]who have dead correct someone's died you recite tal for them as

[43:30]soon as they've died when for example they're just being buried or

[43:33]just about to be buried to recite T and the third time

[43:37]after they've been buried is something we've reserved for the dead but

[43:40]it's actually highly recommended for those who are alive meaning what no

[43:44]don't hold someone and say here I'm going to read bear witness

[43:47]no no meaning scientifically today is shown that if you and I

[43:53]speak to ourselves yes it's okay there are people saying oh you're

[43:56]crazy you speak to yourself no no no tell is when you

[43:57]and I reaffirm Concepts establish matters actually believe and speak to ourself

[44:04]I can I will do this and you make mental notes you

[44:09]make physical notes that is something that the emphasize similarly Imam has

[44:20]a beautiful line he says means what exercise your comes from meaning

[44:29]what if you want to have great self-control willpower if you want

[44:35]to do that if you want to do that fer and not

[44:36]ever miss it if you want to stay away from Haram then

[44:41]make sure that you look at your and mannerism many of us

[44:47]are aware of the importance of having a good ethical system in

[44:49]our lives but how many times did you link it to your

[44:54]own nafs to the way you conduct yourself in life Islam comes

[44:56]from an angle that today today science will never even tell you

[44:59]it's actually great for you and I to work towards the Perfection

[45:06]of our because that will enhance our ability to say no to

[45:11]desires and our ability to say yes to that which we ought

[45:15]to be doing also time management that if I want to be

[45:23]a person who is what who is disciplined who has a strong

[45:26]muscle Within I need to be able to Value time I need

[45:31]to not sit there and make it wasted hours and hours of

[45:37]my day and my month and my years go past without me

[45:40]benefiting from it without me utilizing it stop them they are being

[45:49]responsible Allah subhanahu waala on the day of the hours that we

[45:53]SP spend wasting will be the subject of accountability but more importantly

[45:58]if I want to be driven in life if I want to

[46:03]be committed if I want to be focused I need to ensure

[46:07]that I watch what I am doing and are disciplined when it

[46:10]comes to time management if I can't then I should read I

[46:13]should ask the expert how I must not waste time for example

[46:19]some of our youth like for example I'm told that this is

[46:22]spring break for some and even you know I have teenage Sons

[46:27]sometimes I tell them I I I emphasize this to them yeah

[46:33]it's Ramadan and you know they stay up at night wasting time

[46:38]for example chatting until F alhamdulillah at least fer is prayed but

[46:43]sometimes they sleep just before fuder some of our youth which is

[46:47]problematic but then they spend the whole day doing what sleeping IM

[46:53]says there are two things which will be the greatest for the

[47:00]individual on the day of one is boredom the other is excessive

[47:03]sleep they will see the opportunities before them on the day of

[47:08]and they say I wish I didn't sleep that much I wish

[47:12]you know I hate this sentence wah I can't stand this sentence

[47:14]but many of our you know they say it please don't use

[47:20]this sentence I need to kill time what are you D or

[47:25]Isis or What kill what why you k killing time for yes

[47:30]in the sense that time should not be killed oh you know

[47:32]I'm sitting in the airport waiting there's a delay in my plane

[47:36]so I have to kill time use it for something useful call

[47:39]someone of your relatives how are you now you have the Quran

[47:45]andth and everything in your pocket get it out read a bit

[47:47]listen to a lecture use the time don't kill time Allah is

[47:50]telling you that moment I'll will ask you on the day of

[47:52]for it why you killing it why are you taking it away

[47:57]from yourselves it will never come back it will never ask you

[47:59]once again to use it once more therefore if you want to

[48:03]have strong willpower make sure you manage your time effectively and the

[48:08]seventh very important tip that I am going to give you from

[48:11]the life of to build muscle is what is the remembrance of

[48:14]Death final Point meaning what meaning if I am somebody who is

[48:24]completely ignorant of my of the Journey of bar then I will

[48:27]take everything lightly then I'm never going to be structured or disciplined

[48:29]or have this willpower to do things and change what I need

[48:34]to do is visit cemeteries what I need to do is read

[48:36]about bar and equip myself with knowledge of the Hellfire and J

[48:43]and the day of what I need to do is go through

[48:44]death experience please understand this there are some people who will not

[48:50]like what I'm about to say but I believe in it and

[48:54]I'll say it final thing and inshallah maybe one day or if

[48:57]you have a a question about it come and see me afterwards

[49:01]I am of The Advocates of going through everything as an experience

[49:06]meaning what meaning today if you want to learn driving you're going

[49:10]to have to sit behind the wheel and drive a car you

[49:15]can't sit at home and say I'm going to learn driving but

[49:17]I'm going to read all the books and watch all the videos

[49:21]will you learn you you need to go through the Driving Experience

[49:24]surely you will not jump into the car after reading 500 books

[49:29]and all of a sudden you're an expert driver it's impossible right

[49:32]in any field in life you need to go through training for

[49:38]it nobody today is all of a sudden based on just knowledge

[49:40]of something they are good at something else if I read 500

[49:43]books about death and that's great wonderful watch maalis watch lectures but

[49:51]am I actually in that state of Readiness Maybe not maybe I

[49:53]need to put it real in my life how do I do

[49:57]it one important recommendation our have and some of them used to

[50:04]do it is to spend a few minutes inside the grave yes

[50:07]meaning what some people are scared what do you mean I go

[50:12]inside the grave there are who will dig a grave of theirs

[50:14]in their back Garden they will go and lie there for a

[50:19]few hours yes a few hours wake up in the morning and

[50:24]say alhamdulillah for the of this life and I'm back in this

[50:25]life and Allah has given me an opport again yes by the

[50:29]way they don't cover the grave with soil I'm not asking you

[50:32]to bury yourself alive yes I am saying go inside the grave

[50:38]and feel those moments where eventually each and every one of us

[50:43]will be there can you tell me now no sorry excuse me

[50:46]brother I'm excluded I have a exclusion criteria I will not be

[50:52]in the grave all of us will be every human yes every

[50:59]human being will taste death so the question is if I am

[51:02]there and I listen to and I listen to that and I

[51:18]believe in it and I understand it and I live through it

[51:20]that I will one day be there what will I say to

[51:25]the Mala what will I say to Allah subhana it shakes you

[51:29]trust me I've done it a few times I'm giving you advice

[51:33]and I sometimes ask the to do it and those I've helped

[51:36]do it come out their life changed they say I'm never going

[51:42]to at least for a short period they are the best Muslim

[51:44]you can ever see then they start forgetting that's why we need

[51:47]constant reminders that's why we have Ramadan and and these seasons and

[51:55]these are all remind the stations for us and that's what we

[51:59]need to do we need to constantly remind ourselves in order to

[52:02]become strong in our willpower and come out of the month of

[52:08]Ramadan successful inspired by we pray to Allah subhana tala to grant

[52:19]us to be of those who are successful in strengthening their will

[52:24]in this holy month of Ramadan Ya Allah make us of those

[52:29]of great and grant us to be able to resist against Temptations

[52:34]give us the strength to say no to sins and desires allow

[52:40]us to live in accordance with the teachings of Muhammad Ali Muhammad

[52:43]and to die in the state of the love of Muhammad but

[53:01]before it
