[1:37]Mostafa namja at a common oh come on Ali lady applied in

[1:47]abiding as other ordinary my dear brothers and sisters assalamu alaikum wa

[1:52]rahmatullah wa barakato before we begin you know that the book sitting

[1:57]in the back if you can move to the front let's all

[2:02]climb towards the front if we can the big distance between me

[2:05]and the audience are both the brothers and the sisters please move

[2:13]to the front and after about cilantro and loss upon without and

[2:34]Laurent says bismillahi - ah you know right now in the United

[2:39]States were in the middle of a tremendous crisis not just in

[2:45]the United States actually globally Humanity is in the middle of a

[2:51]tremendous crisis and the challenge is that actually this crisis is rarely

[2:55]discussed about but this crisis that I'm going to discuss here tonight

[3:00]is causing the death of more people then then out more natural

[3:06]disasters and you know crime combined this is the a disaster that

[3:13]I'm talking about other crisis that I'm talking about is suicide globally

[3:21]the suicide rate across the world is increasing at a tremendous pace

[3:26]and even in the United States last year the suicide rate among

[3:30]all age groups reached a 30-year high and in fact we have

[3:38]germinal foreign policy even went on to say that America's suicide at

[3:43]the dead is a national security crisis it's a crisis then often

[3:47]times they talk in the media about terrorism about so-called Islamic terrorism

[3:53]but the article and foreign policy went on to say that actually

[3:57]look at the numbers of people that die based on terrorism versus

[4:04]the numbers that die from suicide there's no comparison more people are

[4:08]dying in America today that are dying from suicide that are dying

[4:13]from any other of the major you know leading cause of death

[4:17]in factors that went into a more sobering you know a real

[4:23]life number the CDC which is the Center for at Disease Control's

[4:26]last year said that is now more likely for a middle school

[4:32]student to die from suicide that's from traffic accidents so imagine that

[4:36]in the United States today it is more likely for a child

[4:42]aged 10 to 14 years old to die from suicide than deny

[4:46]on a traffic accident so again I repeat the point we're in

[4:51]the middle of a tremendous crisis globally both you know at a

[4:56]global level and at a national level and in the problem is

[5:02]that this crisis is rarely discussed neither in the mainstream media or

[5:06]in the houses of worship so tonight book - is we want

[5:12]to talk about the factors that lead to suicide specifically depression and

[5:17]anxiety and we want to approach these topics from a from the

[5:22]following perspective you want to answer the following questions tonight what are

[5:26]the causes of anxiety and depression according to both non-islamic and the

[5:31]sonic sources and then a second part we'll talk about five on

[5:40]the recommendations to proactively combat anxiety and depression so that's the discussion

[5:45]for tonight in the first part we'll talk about the ultimate you

[5:51]know causes of anxiety and depression according to both Western medicine and

[5:56]2 sonics or PSA's and then the second part we'll talk about

[6:00]some piranhas crepitations to proactively combat anxiety and depression but first please

[6:03]give me about soy so as I mentioned that we're in this

[6:13]little in the middle of this epidemic the suicide epidemic but suicide

[6:16]to look at it is the ultimate outcome of individuals that are

[6:23]facing severe anxiety and depression where when you're in a state of

[6:28]severe depression and anxiety eventually reach a point in your existence where

[6:34]existing has no meaning and therefore you commit the ultimate act of

[6:37]violence which is violence against yourself that's what suicide is really the

[6:43]outcome of the outcome of anxiety and depression but the question becomes

[6:47]what you know what are the factors that lead to anxiety and

[6:51]depression what has Western medicine said about the factors of the sangs

[6:58]Island depression well in Western medicine there are actually many different opinions

[7:03]on the causes of anxiety and depression there's one school of thought

[7:09]that's represented by people like Epocrates and Aristotle and they're really representative

[7:14]of the majority of modern medicine today in this camp and the

[7:19]idea is that anxiety and depression where mental illness in general are

[7:25]essentially problems of the mind and what they really have are Casa

[7:29]and Hippocrates was the famous Western you know father of Western medicine

[7:38]and says that if you cut open the head of they'll individual

[7:41]you'll find the great humid full of sweat and spelling math meaning

[7:46]the problem of anxiety and depression according to people like Aristotle and

[7:51]poverty's is a problem of brain chemistry there's something fundamentally wrong with

[7:59]the makeup of your brain and so in modern medicine this has

[8:03]led to the solution that when your brain has some chemical problem

[8:10]the way that you solve the chemical problem that least anxiety and

[8:14]depression is by giving a chemical solution so that's one school deploy

[8:18]the one school of thought thinks that anxiety and depression are an

[8:21]outcome of Khem of a chemist chemical reactions in your brain and

[8:26]the way to counteract that is through medicine that's one school of

[8:30]methods goal of life the other school of thought thinks that you

[8:34]know anxiety and depression are actually problems of logic and then this

[8:38]school of thought is represented by people like play-doh and Spinoza who

[8:45]say that anxiety and depression are really a problem of logic so

[8:48]meaning that you know somehow in your brain you're unable to think

[8:53]logically so the solution Tang's i-i'm depression according to this count as

[8:59]something called cognitive behavioral therapy or essentially psycho family so this is

[9:04]the image that many of us have of psychiatrists you know you

[9:07]go to a Ericka's you sit on a couch and you talk

[9:09]with someone and this expert that you're talking with will hopefully talk

[9:15]you through the illogical inconsistencies in your head and hopefully will resolve

[9:18]your anxiety and depression so this is the second school of thought

[9:23]these are the predominant two schools of thought in Western medicine today

[9:27]the school of thought that thinks that anxiety and depression are caused

[9:31]by a chemical reaction and the solution of drugs and then the

[9:34]school of thought that thinks that anxiety and depression are caused by

[9:37]faulty logic and there is any a solution is essentially through cognitive

[9:42]behavioral therapy they have problems with these two schools of thought is

[9:47]that they're only looking at the individual with regard to their physical

[9:51]composition and you know a lot of these schools of thought actually

[9:55]have a very simplistic overview and are actually very subjective in the

[10:01]way that they practice medicine so for example there was a very

[10:05]interesting math in the New York Times the other day that showed

[10:07]that the way that a doctor will treat you is really dependent

[10:12]on whether you live in a red state or a blue state

[10:15]so many of you are familiar would be a designation red state

[10:18]these are the more socially conservative states that tend to be more

[10:25]conservative vote Republican doctors in red states tend to prescribe medicine more

[10:30]often than doctors in blue states doctors and blue states will not

[10:34]solve anxiety and depression through the psycho factor so this right there

[10:42]will tell you the problem with how modern medicine today approaches and

[10:45]depression is that there are so many different opinions and the solutions

[10:51]to those opinions really depends on the area that you're living in

[10:55]whether you're living in a red state or a blue state the

[10:57]doctor will treat you and prescribe for your medicine completely dependent on

[11:02]how they were trained in medicine now there's a third school of

[11:05]thought which is represented by Freud Freud says that anxiety and depression

[11:09]or due to childhood trauma so maybe you experience something difficult in

[11:15]your earthly lifetime maybe your mother treated you badly maybe your father

[11:18]treated you badly and the reason that you build up anxiety and

[11:25]depression over time is because you have these forgotten memories and the

[11:29]way to resolve anxiety and depression is essentially to talk through and

[11:34]to confront your parents so you know something you know that it's

[11:39]a result these you know problems and anxiety depression so again the

[11:44]problem with that with each of these you know prescriptions of anxiety

[11:47]and depression is that they're very simplistic and oftentimes the people who

[11:53]are describing these problems themselves have issues with regard to mental illness

[11:59]so for example Freud and Freud it's well known that for a

[12:02]period of his lifetime for 10 years of his life he was

[12:06]addicted to heroin so here you have an individual who's presumably as

[12:11]studying diseases of the human mind but he himself and as in

[12:15]complete control of his own mental situation and this is the problem

[12:23]with I would say Western sort of designated medicine so within that

[12:27]context you know oftentimes people will say well okay well you know

[12:31]it's not as the solution you know this is a very easy

[12:36]bunker you know sticker spoken you know for every problem that exists

[12:39]out there people will immediately say it's not as the solution but

[12:43]the problem with just saying it's not as the solution as if

[12:46]you don't if you don't nicely articulate the problem then the solution

[12:51]that you have is not going to you know appropriately address the

[12:55]problem so before bringing out the Sun and the Islamic sort of

[13:01]designation we need to work appropriately understand the problem in order to

[13:06]apply the solution you need to have a firm understanding of the

[13:10]problem as it exists which leads us to what does this some

[13:13]say about the causes of depression and anxiety before we get into

[13:20]that please give me lots of [Applause] Isana takes a very different

[13:28]perspective in that Islam doesn't believe that anxiety and depression are diseases

[13:34]or mental diseases but rather anxiety is mankind's natural disposition Allah sakano

[13:39]talented Muhammad says this without my mother I mean and then in

[13:44]sauna Julieta Hanwha mankind was created on a foundation of anxiety now

[13:51]many of you will probably step back and say hold on we

[13:54]thought that Allah so kind of data created mankind in the best

[13:59]shape and form a loss of power with Alessandro fennekin and son

[14:02]at the aesthetic definitely in surah 15 that many times was created

[14:06]in the best shape and form so mankind in surah 13 was

[14:11]at enough feminine and son of a setting to Queen if mankind

[14:13]was created in the best shape and form that house was worth

[14:19]in Muhammad's telling us in Denison Africa Honua there seems to be

[14:24]this disconnect on one hand of us saying that the best day

[14:27]but on the other hand is worth in maharaja lhasa telling us

[14:32]that mankind is created actress well this is a part of the

[14:36]beauty of mankind's creation anxiety is actually in limited doses something which

[14:42]is tremendously beneficial for the human condition because if we don't have

[14:48]anxiety will never have the motivation to actually succeed in life if

[14:53]we weren't anxious about how we're going to do in terms of

[14:55]our career we would never we would never feel motivated to actually

[15:01]advance and study and work towards achieving the highest levels of our

[15:07]career trajectory if we were not anxious about the situation of our

[15:11]family we would never look out for our children if we have

[15:14]children or would never look out for the health and well-being of

[15:19]our parents so anxiety and limited doses is actually one of the

[15:24]things that has enabled humanity to advance tremendously but the problem that

[15:29]occurs is anxiety and excessive doses will cause some of these mental

[15:34]diseases Rob muscle Kanawa Dada goes on to say and then in

[15:42]Santa Anita Hedorah in that mess up or show Josua putting that

[15:44]mess of a failed Meno I will get into the explanation of

[15:50]these latter items so the first thing that we probably know we

[15:52]should recognize is that a from Western meta concepts of anxiety and

[15:57]depression does it feel that anxiety and depression or mental illnesses moraler

[16:02]asam takes the position that anxiety is a fundamental component of man's

[16:07]creation and depression as well if you look in the Quran there

[16:14]are numerous instances of Allah so paradata describing the province being in

[16:19]a state of depression Alaska Nevada for example tells us about surah

[16:26]prophet yahoo says pessimism what young but I now AM inadequacy Battaglini

[16:32]a Lazcano a goddess telling as the Prophet Yahoo was so overwhelmed

[16:38]with depression over the loss of his a young son prophet youssef

[16:43]that his eyes became white with with the success of depression so

[16:49]his son takes the position that anxiety is a natural part of

[16:53]nine kinds existence but their lack of balance meaning when you allow

[16:57]anxiety and depression to overtake your existence that's where the problems will

[17:03]come in so what is that and then the Quran I mean

[17:08]a problem that needs to be resolved is not necessarily as solved

[17:12]through my drugs or through cognitive therapy but problem is solved by

[17:21]understanding your environment and understanding the triggers that lead to excessive anxiety

[17:25]and excessive depression so so rather than you know prescribing something very

[17:37]simplistic like you know some some drugs or some psychotherapy when you

[17:44]look at the description of anxiety and depression in the behind and

[17:49]according to the other debate that the thing that they mentioned to

[17:52]prevent an anxiety and depression is to be proactive in terms of

[17:56]putting yourself in the environment and situations that will enable you to

[18:01]maintain some you know balance without exceeding the natural inclination of exceeding

[18:08]into an anxiety and depression so the remainder of the talk I

[18:14]wanted to discuss some of the causes of anxiety and depression as

[18:18]articulated in the behind and then actually talked about some solutions so

[18:22]what are some of the causes what are some of the environmental

[18:26]triggers that cause us to go into a state of imbalance meaning

[18:31]going from the limited amount of anxiety that makes is successful to

[18:37]going into an es situation that makes us imbalance well we went

[18:40]down to a slide that has a Peggy and I would urge

[18:44]you to look at this height because of this one honey I

[18:46]would say there's more truth than the entirety of the theories of

[18:53]Freud aristotle and hippocrates certainly a beautiful hadith that really gets to

[18:58]the heart of the matter of the thing that causes men had

[19:01]to go to the excessive anxiety and depression this is one happy

[19:04]amount Junko asada says abajo bin Dounia - I never cried Bobbie

[19:13]that after the c5 heaven alia now a mentor not even direct

[19:16]what a gentleman died in that so here in burned-out Masada he

[19:22]says whoever has a heart attached to this world will have three

[19:26]things attached to their heart I'm permitting sadness unfulfilled desire and unachievable

[19:34]hope whoever has a heart attached to this world has three things

[19:40]attached to their hearts unremitting sadness unfulfilled desire unachievable whole amount our

[19:48]asylum is telling us in one statement the main cause of anxiety

[19:53]and depression in humanity the main thing that causes many kinds transgress

[19:58]their natural boundaries of balance and to go into situation where they

[20:03]become unbalanced and go into excessive anxiety and depression it's this unachievable

[20:09]and attachment to material things because when you look at it and

[20:14]every material thing that you have a texture your heart you will

[20:18]eventually disappear from the face of this earth whether you have here

[20:26]hopes and and and and aspirations attached to let's say you know

[20:30]the new BMW you know free class or a new Iife own

[20:36]eight or a new ipod well that's that you know attachment is

[20:40]going to be very limited in scope because eventually they're going to

[20:44]come out with an iphone 9 eventually they're going to come up

[20:46]with a you know we have self-driving BMW eventually they're going to

[20:52]come up with a newer model so we mind Alcala side that

[20:55]was talking about here is that whenever you attach yourself to something

[20:59]would just transient in nature your hope and your and your your

[21:03]happiness is going to be transient as well your happiness in terms

[21:09]of attached - that thing will only last as long as the

[21:11]thing is actually in existence man I've been doing a 500 be

[21:16]fed up as a slot have an idea now we're having on

[21:18]that even that I want to drown now you're not so this

[21:22]was a prediction that was made by my mother son of over

[21:27]1400 years ago the question becomes what is the amount Yahoo saw

[21:30]this prediction true well actually there are people who are studying this

[21:34]there are two prominent economists one of them is at Harvard named

[21:38]Julian shorts without at Boston University the other one is negative Kassar

[21:42]he also is at Harvard but now he's at the University of

[21:47]why they're looking at the impact of excessive materialism on unhappiness and

[21:53]on an individual's you know life like achievement and what they included

[21:59]and what they study is they study young people between the ages

[22:02]of 10 to 18 they call these people the most random oriented

[22:06]consumer involved and materialistic generation in history and what they've got concluded

[22:13]in their studies is that this generation actually has the highest levels

[22:18]of anxiety and the highest levels about depression compared to every other

[22:25]generation that's come before in fact being a New York Times you

[22:29]know was remarketing remember how I mentioned that there's a 30-year high

[22:34]in terms of the suicide epidemic the Americans went on to say

[22:38]that young adolescents are suffering from a range of health problems associated

[22:43]with the country's rapidly changing culture meaning it's the culture which is

[22:49]causing people to be excessively anxious and depressed and this culture has

[22:54]often times you know really manifested were really represented by the successive

[23:02]attachment to material goods in the American economy is a consumer-based economy

[23:06]something like 70% of the economy is dependent on us continually spending

[23:13]so obviously if you're not raised in this type of environment your

[23:17]main desire and motivation of my going to be to continue to

[23:20]spend well this has a limit mankind was not created to just

[23:25]simply spend and consume many time was created for our higher purpose

[23:29]and that's why we found out to Assad that was talking about

[23:32]here Mandana offend bomb in dunya another hunk o be fed apathy

[23:36]slob now what is that so far the first cause of we

[23:41]would say excessive anxiety and depression is this excessive attachment to the

[23:46]material things of this world which are ultimately very temporal very temporary

[23:50]and will you know live up to your expectations of your hopes

[23:56]in fact you know my audience Sena says that cheerfulness and Mohammad

[24:02]Ashima through cheerfulness is the distinguishing trait of the free what does

[24:07]he mean by that means that the individuals are the happiest are

[24:14]the ones worth the freest from material obligations you'll notice who's the

[24:17]happiest individuals that you can think of in your life there they're

[24:23]young kids right why are young children so happy because they're not

[24:26]burdened with car payments they're not very good buying the latest from

[24:32]from you know I don't know a Sephora I guess right that's

[24:36]probably right down here or you know the latest that you know

[24:41]from from Gucci I mean there's no problem with buying those things

[24:44]but when that becomes your prime motivation in life then that really

[24:48]weighs you down when you mama says about how the Shema that

[24:54]hard freedom and then the cheerfulness is the sign of the free

[24:58]he's talking about as individuals for free from these material shackles that

[25:03]are essentially weighing us down so it sounded safe and that in

[25:07]the first part is that anxiety and depression are not mental illnesses

[25:11]but rather they're the outcome of being affected by a media environment

[25:18]around you which leads us to the second cause of excessive anxiety

[25:22]and depression which is beautifully articulated upon respond without a said Panera

[25:29]Hana Rahim women Halima and Vickery that in denominational monka when I

[25:34]threw your mattheum at the element and whoever avoids my remembrance but

[25:40]now Manisha the monkey will live a very narrow very depressed very

[25:45]anxious life women Alaba and maybe the in dental Manish adam bunka

[25:51]whoever avoids my remembrance will live a very depressed in a very

[25:59]narrow life Menasha we own at the Amitabha and on the day

[26:02]of bad judgment were going to you know cause them to be

[26:08]resurrected mine so what the masaha ratata is mentioning here is a

[26:12]fundamental component of our existence mankind was created based on the remembrance

[26:16]of allah subhanahu wa tada and when we're taking out of the

[26:19]situation of continual remembrance were put in unnatural positions that causes the

[26:25]field excessive anxiety and depression now this is really an interesting ayah

[26:29]because Allah so kind without women have meaning the we have you

[26:37]know premise or the supposition here is that mankind's default position is

[26:42]the remembrance of Allah and it's the environment that takes mankind away

[26:46]from the remembrance of Allah this is interesting because actually there has

[26:48]been some really interesting studies from this psychologists at Boston University in

[26:55]Debra Kellerman and what she studies as she started out she studies

[27:00]young kids you know from infants up to the age of thirteen

[27:08]when she's found is that infants all the way up to the

[27:10]age of ten seem to have this natural disposition to believe in

[27:16]God meaning up until the age of ten young kids have this

[27:20]natural inclination to believe in a higher being and even if the

[27:26]kids come from an atheist household what Debra cabinet has found is

[27:30]that children from the time that they're born all the way until

[27:33]the time they reach the age of ten whenever you ask them

[27:37]for example where did this rock come from or where did this

[27:40]tree come from across the board children were spun and came from

[27:46]God where it came from a higher power that's the way the

[27:49]children are sort of created but something happens at the age of

[27:54]10 the Debra Kellerman noticed at the age of 10 children start

[27:57]making their own decisions that they become more directed by the environment

[28:01]so their belief in God over time starts to decrease so it

[28:04]seems that mankind's natural disposition is towards the belief in and in

[28:11]God but over time when they become impact by a surrounding environment

[28:16]which takes them away from the remembrance of Allah subhanAllah Dada or

[28:19]for the Almighty they become less likely to believe in a higher

[28:23]power and within this context that the factor that's probably leading tentatively

[28:29]have most you know lack of remembrance of Allah subhana WA Dada

[28:36]is actually the most dangerous weapon and it's actually in our pockets

[28:41]it's this telephone right here this is device is arguably taking us

[28:45]away from the remembrance of Allah whether we believe in this statement

[28:49]or not and if I don't just take my word for it

[28:53]MIT the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where a lot of these technologies

[28:58]worth about recently came out with a study and the title of

[29:01]the study was how the Internet is changing America's religion how the

[29:07]Internet is changing America's religion and what the scholars at MIT did

[29:11]is they looked at the increase in the usage of the Internet

[29:16]and what they were able to link it to as with a

[29:18]decrease in terms of attendance 2,000 religious congregations and just believe in

[29:23]God they say that they might this causative link that the more

[29:30]individual uses the internet the less likely they are to believe in

[29:34]God well monotony Nnamani shut down lanka the thing which is taking

[29:39]us away from the remembrance of allah although the internet and social

[29:43]media has tremendous powers it also has tremendous negative powers which is

[29:49]really demonstrating the lack of remembrance of allah subhana wa ta'ala and

[29:53]in fact you know the way that we use the internet is

[29:59]really changing us as individuals as society you know just to give

[30:02]you an idea there is this recent that really a great book

[30:06]by a professor at NYU called irresistible the rise of addictive technologies

[30:11]and how they keep us close and what this professor has done

[30:17]it's really written a beautiful book about the impact of the internet

[30:21]on human behavior and one of the things that he mentions very

[30:24]interestingly is you know many of the people who develop these devices

[30:28]like Steve Jobs for example Steve Jobs never about his children to

[30:32]own an iPhone he never allowed his children to own an iPod

[30:37]or in I have and the reason for that is because he

[30:40]thought that it would fundamentally changed the way they behave as individuals

[30:44]Steve Jobs was not a Muslim he was not a believer in

[30:49]God but he has the creator of this technology recognized the awesome

[30:54]power that this technology has on human behavior and human interaction these

[31:00]technologies are fundamentally changing us as humans and in fact I will

[31:03]just give you an example when a lot of seconded says whenever

[31:07]guru can live in a Nashua and some and puts up them

[31:11]and do not any like those who forgot Allah so Allah make

[31:14]them forget themselves you know the thing about these technologies they keep

[31:20]us addicted to I continually got usage so you know there's some

[31:25]apps that I would operation to download now I'm talking against the

[31:29]iPhone but you know I'm telling you to download it now but

[31:31]actually this is a helpful app this app is called moment so

[31:35]if you download this app it'll tell you how many times and

[31:37]then you pick up your phone and when I never wanted the

[31:41]app I was really that you know will shock and you know

[31:43]surprised at how many times I checked my phone and the thing

[31:47]is a lot of times we check these devices throughout the day

[31:50]and we're completely unconscious of how many times you check that but

[31:56]if you actually start monitoring your behavior they'll become surprised at how

[32:01]much time and how much ever you spend on these devices compared

[32:04]to everything else in your life and you know these devices have

[32:08]really not changed human behavior as well and you know in this

[32:12]book by Alan Walter he talks about how these devices have changed

[32:18]our attention span so all of you're familiar with the concept of

[32:20]an attention span right an attention span is essentially the amount of

[32:24]time that you spend focus that you spend focused on something so

[32:31]what they found at these studies is that anglers have done when

[32:35]the iPad was first launched the average human their attention span was

[32:40]12 seconds meaning we would we would have the ability to focus

[32:43]on something for 12 seconds at the time but after 10 years

[32:48]so 10 year the release of the iPod our attention span is

[32:52]now increased around eight seconds so it's got in ten years from

[32:57]12 seconds to 8 seconds let me say well that's still good

[32:59]right 8 seconds that seems like a good attention span well just

[33:02]to put it into the frame of reference the average goldfish has

[33:06]an attention span of nine seconds so we had our attention span

[33:13]is less than that of an average goldfish so right now I'm

[33:15]talking to all of you but if I was talking to goldfish

[33:19]I probably have you know doing better get out but on the

[33:22]sunlight so the point being that had modern times these technologies have

[33:31]altered the way that our brains function and this change in our

[33:35]brain function has led us away from our default position which is

[33:40]the belief in Allah subhana WA Ta'ala remember something which activity Lee

[33:44]honey met over the world I think on an oscillator not the

[33:48]data affected now mankind's natural disposition is the remembrance of Allah subhana

[33:55]Allah mankind was created upon the foundation of remembrance but it's the

[33:59]environment that causes us to avoid the remembrance of Allah and its

[34:02]disappoint of their members of Allah at least excessive anxiety and excessive

[34:07]pressure never met when at the Guru can add Universal God and

[34:13]Salman who so when I come with massive one so I lost

[34:17]what kind of data that tells us very clearly and after you

[34:19]like those who have forgot Allah and Allah subhana WA Ta'ala made

[34:22]then forgetting themselves and this is really the essence this ayat although

[34:30]it also it describes the problem it also describes the solution for

[34:34]avoiding excessive anxiety and the depression will get into nothing personal email

[34:39]on so the wasp and Watauga says what I forget that ENSO

[34:48]Botha and Salman for some and you have to come like those

[34:53]who forgot Allah so I'll make them forget themselves you see here

[34:57]at wassakara donnas connecting self-knowledge with knowledge of allah subhana wa da

[35:02]da if you want to get a control of your anxiety and

[35:05]depression first and foremost you've got to know yourself and if you

[35:09]want to know yourself first and foremost you've got to know the

[35:14]Creator who created yourself that women without the crooked Athena has a

[35:18]lava and sound members own self-knowledge is linked to knowledge of the

[35:23]Almighty and now that that the almighty is linked in knowledge of

[35:29]the Sun these two are interconnected and the problem that we have

[35:33]been had in everyday life is that our not knowledge our awareness

[35:36]of Allah so Tom Madonna is oftentimes diverted or inside you know

[35:41]it becomes you know taken over by different things which is where

[35:48]the month of Ramadan comes in episode Alejandra and Athena and good

[35:54]writing mostly I'm give up I think oh now I love them

[35:56]one fast fasting was prescribed for you as it was prescribed for

[36:02]those before you so that you may gain high consciousness because it's

[36:06]in this fact of gaining God consciousness that you'll be connected with

[36:10]your true self it's when you connect to a Moscow condo and

[36:13]Ahana that you become more connected to your own you know desires

[36:20]and aspirations and hopes outside of God daily life that's why you

[36:25]know slamming is really a lots of Hanoi Dada has a beautiful

[36:28]hadith Qudsi right says ASEAN ammonia and that woodsy bit that fasting

[36:33]is for me and I will reward it see how is the

[36:38]only act of worship where allah subhanho wa taala has very you

[36:45]know directly not linked it at being for him completely and you

[36:48]know this is what we have month of Ramadan makes us aware

[36:53]of you know being a solution first and foremost is you know

[36:56]it allows us to understand the limitations of our own material self

[37:00]and really need I need address the needs of our spiritual self

[37:04]because as you might be on our side that says method in

[37:09]dunya --kavitha denied by good let not show you but then what

[37:11]seanny Moustakas on hidaya dude oh so the example of this life

[37:18]is like the example of the seawater the more a thirsty person

[37:22]drinks from it the thirst year they become until it kills them

[37:29]so the amount of masada the same here is that this world

[37:32]you know many of us have desires and hopes but oftentimes we

[37:37]fill those desires and hopes with something that actually ends up harming

[37:41]us for thinner than helping us and when you knock down the

[37:44]side of the saying here is that this world is like the

[37:48]sea water how many of you drunk sea water sea water is

[37:50]not something that will trench thirst it temporarily daily quenches the thirst

[37:54]but it's not something that you can live on it's not likely

[37:59]a sweet water but if I'm driving the side of the same

[38:00]is that the example of this life is like the example of

[38:05]the seawater the more you drink of it the thirst fear you

[38:07]become until it ends up killing so that's what this world is

[38:13]teaching us on a daily basis rather in the month of ramadan

[38:16]allah so kinda without as giving us an opportunity to recognize the

[38:20]higher aspect of our existence which is beyond the material aspect so

[38:28]what are the solutions to avoiding excessive anxiety and depression you know

[38:35]and certain mileage again you know we talked about this in an

[38:40]insanity fatwa mankind was created in a state of anxiety if I

[38:45]mess up with shovel Joshua Wade a mesothelioma Noah if hardship falls

[38:51]on mankind they freaked out in that mess odisha Joshua Wade on

[38:56]Hassan Hayle men wha but when good things happen to mankind they

[39:01]become very stingy notice how the lost power dollars they're talking about

[39:08]the causes of anxiety he says he that messed up with Shoku

[39:11]Joshua when when a hardship or when a difficulty happens to mankind

[39:15]they freaked out Ezra am I using the word just to out

[39:22]to the very you know - mark Joshua in msl shovel Joshua

[39:25]what do you got myself a no but when good times happened

[39:31]in him men wanna he become stingy I've never encountered these people

[39:35]where you know they're always complaining every time you ask them how

[39:39]tender how's it going my dear brother my dear sister oh you

[39:44]know I'm having some back problems I'm having difficulty at work you

[39:48]know I have you know this is happening this is happening they're

[39:50]always complaining but when something good happens to them and then you

[39:56]ask them oh well listen I saw that you you know Batta

[39:58]Batta you know to car maybe we can go to you know

[40:02]grab a bite to eat or something they'll say oh no brother

[40:05]you know I can't tell you no go in my car or

[40:08]put too much mileage on me right if episode oh my god

[40:13]what good things happened in he becomes stingy starts holding back so

[40:19]the solution to excessive anxiety and depression as to proactively volunteer of

[40:25]your time and effort volunteer of the things that are the most

[40:29]precious to you because if you hold these things to be dear

[40:33]to you you're always going to be it's going to be very

[40:35]difficult to give and give them away so that's why I lost

[40:40]panel and Allah says when let me anything a lot even happen

[40:42]my own decide one mA who also power that goes on to

[40:48]say better and whether the men SMOS show did that wah-wah-wah cinnamon

[40:51]the window a bit what I thought when I am what happened

[40:57]after he said whoever but I'm an SLO a trouble in that

[41:04]whoever submits their existence totally to the worship of Allah but I'm

[41:09]an SLO I showered in that wall of my Cena and he

[41:11]does good deeds and he does beautiful things but not my trouble

[41:15]and none of it will have his reward with when they all

[41:18]might be without fault for not even and they will have no

[41:23]fear what happened yang said knowing and they will never be in

[41:25]a state of anxiety and depression notice what a lots of how

[41:30]about a saying here he's linking the ability of proactively volunteering your

[41:34]time and effort with a lack of anxiety and depression and by

[41:37]the way they've done to her studies they have a distinct of

[41:39]the volunteers hi now when people volunteer it ends up actually being

[41:46]more beneficial than if they take some of these antidepressants so if

[41:51]you take something like prozac or R valium you know they're certain

[41:55]you know instances where these things are required but actually if you

[41:59]want to be more proactive about combining anxiety just go and volunteer

[42:03]at your local soup kitchen or volunteer here in the messages or

[42:08]volunteering why or volunteerism on international or volunteer at the dozens of

[42:16]organizations that are in existence this is a private way to combine

[42:19]anxiety and depression a Moscato da da say and then you know

[42:22]there are many other solutions the time is of a minute I

[42:27]just wanted to you know cause with this final class solution for

[42:30]combating anxiety and depression which is the habits good friends and companions

[42:36]arguably the environment that we put ourselves in has the biggest impact

[42:41]on our mental health and well-being so if we hang out with

[42:44]individuals or continually pessimistic about my if we hang out with individuals

[42:50]or can continually you know impatient we by extension are going to

[42:58]be impatient and anxious and depressed but who ever have but if

[43:01]we hang out with individuals who are continually proactive in terms of

[43:05]their servitude to allah subhanallah donna in terms of their connection with

[43:09]allah this is something that will benefit us that's why I'm out

[43:15]money is an obsession and now again I am NOT a host

[43:17]on that he who lacks friends lacks a bare necessity so you

[43:23]know in addition to volunteering their time and effort in addition to

[43:27]you know enabling this guy consciousness as we have during the month

[43:31]of Ramadan one of the best solutions for combating anxiety and depression

[43:37]or excessive anxiety depression is to have good friends that can always

[43:43]keep you in a state of balance friends that can keep you

[43:46]balanced and you know in a state of good conduct and now

[43:52]the friends that will take you into excessive anxiety so you know

[43:55]this was a very brief discussion here tonight of the causes of

[44:01]anxiety and depression as I mentioned you know the United States is

[44:05]that today in the middle of a tremendous epidemic the suicide epidemic

[44:09]more people dying from suicide than a dying of many of the

[44:13]other fatalities America's suicide epidemic is now a 30-year high the solutions

[44:20]are really provided you know through various aspects of the Quran the

[44:25]first and foremost month of Ramadan is really a step one towards

[44:32]combating anxiety and depression because when one has God consciousness this enables

[44:38]them to now have self-consciousness and the step step one - you

[44:42]know combating anxiety and depression is to be aware in our own

[44:45]you know weaknesses of your own strengths and to proactively you know

[44:50]address those as well as for loss upon without it they enable

[44:54]us to become enough servants of Allah both during this month and

[44:59]during the subsequent months Vaska loss cometh out of the enable makan

[45:03]consciousness that we earn during this month to continue throughout they had

[45:07]months and throughout the years and to enable us to become servants

[45:10]of Allah servants of a big rubber night after effeminacy now Astana
