[0:14]muhammad foreign [Music] me [Music] foreign foreign say [Music] is [Music] [Music]

[2:20]foreign [Music] [Music] the theme of this year's discussions has been the

[2:51]theme of this year's discussions has been surrounding the spiritual journey towards

[3:00]allah remember said that is to travel to go from point a

[3:13]to point b suffer there has to be a movement there cannot

[3:21]be static movement when nothing changes for you to reach god you

[3:26]have to move from where you are now to another place allah

[3:37]that you are moving towards your lord and it is inevitable that

[3:40]you are going to meet him and so because we want to

[3:45]be ready for that meeting the inevitable meeting a science was formed

[3:50]the science of wayfaring in which our ulama gave us specific techniques

[3:55]based on the wisdom and traditions of the bait on how we

[4:01]can come closer to proximity to allah and know more of our

[4:06]purpose so we can finally achieve the aim and goal of our

[4:09]life which is to know oneself because if you know oneself if

[4:14]someone knows their self then they know their lord and this whole

[4:16]entire journey is about knowing our lord and so we've been speaking

[4:21]about this based on three pillars the three pillars were iman is

[4:25]the first step towards anything knowledge is the first step towards anything

[4:32]takes kumail into his self and he tells him there is no

[4:44]movement that you can do except that you are in need of

[4:46]knowledge beforehand we spoke about that in depth and that is the

[4:52]absolute first step knowledge and so knowledge was a dire need for

[4:54]each and every one of us how's a student not house a

[4:59]student university student not university student whoever it is whatever whatever age

[5:03]we are at right now knowledge is the first step and if

[5:05]one is stopping seeking knowledge then they have stopped their journey towards

[5:10]god they have stopped at one point the pursuit of knowledge has

[5:15]to be continuing until the day one dies so knowledge is the

[5:18]first step but knowledge has a weakness knowledge is not enough the

[5:21]weakness of knowledge is that one does not have to act upon

[5:25]the knowledge that they know hypocrisy is born because we need something

[5:31]above knowledge the second pillar is iman iman is faith when the

[5:35]knowledge has entered into the heart and has settled into the heart

[5:40]to get to the second pillar we need to go on the

[5:44]first bridge which is which means good action so knowledge good action

[5:50]based on that knowledge i apply it and i reach through repetitive

[5:56]action the level of iman we wanted a level even above iman

[5:59]because iman is also has a weakness sometimes we reach stages of

[6:04]proximity with god we feel the spirituality and the closeness to him

[6:09]and suddenly we commit a transgression and we move backwards from where

[6:14]we came one step forward two steps back because of the inconsistency

[6:17]we need to aim for a level even higher where we don't

[6:20]make any of those mistakes anymore and that's what we meant by

[6:25]arfan gnosis or mysticism it's when you believe so like iman believes

[6:29]but iman is blind and fan when you believe and you see

[6:33]you see it for what it is so no one can prove

[6:36]you wrong anymore because inside your heart you know that it's there

[6:38]that your belief has reached its maximum brothers if we can come

[6:42]closer please so the brothers coming from the back it's easier for

[6:47]them thank you very much [Music] we have been discussing the first

[7:07]step for the past few nights we discussed the attributes of knowledge

[7:11]that the two main attributes that we need to know of knowledge

[7:15]are that knowledge has a beginning and knowledge is immaterial true knowledge

[7:18]and we wanted to know this why because ultimately yes we receive

[7:22]knowledge from reading books i'm listening to lectures from discussions but knowledge

[7:26]is also a light the truth of knowledge is a light which

[7:30]is sent into the hearts of whom allah subhanahu wa allah wills

[7:33]according to that so to gain that knowledge and we know that

[7:43]it's immaterial and it has a beginning then that means we know

[7:45]because it has a beginning there must be someone that begins it

[7:48]who is allah subhana ta'ala so allah is the one who is

[7:52]directly giving us knowledge at all times the fact that's immaterial means

[7:56]it's not coming from this realm which is the material realm the

[7:58]physical realm it's coming from a realm that's immaterial so it's the

[8:01]knowledge that we have is coming from another realm what you're doing

[8:06]right now the fact that you have knowledge that i am in

[8:08]front of you for example you're using your material eyes your eyes

[8:12]are the portal in this realm which are only creating the capacity

[8:17]for you to receive the immaterial knowledge traveling from the other realm

[8:20]which is given to you by god and so when it comes

[8:24]to knowledge that is for purpose of life not just what you

[8:25]see in front of you allah is the one who bestows that

[8:29]knowledge upon us and when one lives by the sharia and the

[8:34]code and the taqwa of allah subhanahu wa ta'ala within their life

[8:39]slowly god begins to give someone this fragrance this wisdom that they

[8:43]have in which they receive this direct knowledge we also spoke about

[8:48]the knowledge that we have from contemplation meditation yesterday we spoke about

[8:53]and tadabur that someone if they were just to think even if

[8:57]you are not to read any books but you between you and

[9:00]yourself were to sit down in silence and take your time and

[9:04]think in quiet that this contemplation and this meditation and this reflection

[9:08]is going to give someone give someone knowledge within themselves not coming

[9:14]from outside not coming from outside of anyone or anywhere there is

[9:19]no third party source it's coming from within and so that knowledge

[9:24]is something which again creates more belief in one's heart because it's

[9:30]one's own it's one's own knowledge that they have come to with

[9:32]a base of knowledge that they've received from a third-party source but

[9:35]they have enhanced it because they've reflected upon it there's a big

[9:40]difference right now if someone was to come and listen to this

[9:41]lecture and then leave it as it is then someone writing down

[9:46]some notes perhaps or memorizing some things or goes home and reflects

[9:50]over it or perhaps two people will discuss it there's a big

[9:54]difference between the ones who actually think about it and then the

[9:58]ones who don't there's a big difference those who know and those

[10:02]who don't know are not equal in the eyes of allah so

[10:04]if you put more effort into the receiving of that knowledge the

[10:08]more you will reap the rewards and we mentioned that knowledge is

[10:13]vast if you give knowledge of all of you everything you have

[10:15]it will only give you a part of it and if you

[10:19]give knowledge a part of you it will give you nothing so

[10:22]you really have to put in as much effort as you can

[10:31]salah muhammad now we want to speak about the stage going up

[10:36]to iman so we're going now to tackle actions no longer things

[10:41]just looking and focusing about the knowledge but how that knowledge is

[10:47]to be applied and so we want to break down our actions

[10:50]how do we usually engage in our actions they're based on something

[10:55]and as imagi told us everything begins with knowledge everything begins with

[11:01]a thought with so our actions are beginning with thoughts if we

[11:06]want to infiltrate our actions and control our actions if we want

[11:11]to control ourselves so we stop doing what we don't want to

[11:14]do or what is not good for us and we want to

[11:17]engage in that which is beneficial for us so we want to

[11:21]master our own actions then we need to know what are the

[11:24]roots of these actions where do they start it starts with a

[11:27]thought and there is a process a thought process that we're going

[11:32]to be talking about we want to break it down into a

[11:36]few stages of thought that we're going to speak about y'all if

[11:49]brothers can come forward thank you very much foreign so we want

[12:17]to break down our actions into the roots of the thoughts from

[12:22]which they come from because we commit actions we don't know exactly

[12:26]how and why we're going to speak about the process of thought

[12:30]now which it happens in each and every one of us in

[12:34]fractions of milliseconds and we have this process of thought before any

[12:39]action we commit and it begins with knowledge of something so i

[12:44]know that i'm thirsty i have knowledge of my thirst when someone's

[12:47]thirsty they know they're thirsty so then you have knowledge of your

[12:52]thirst then you enter into a stage of tifakur where you start

[12:56]thinking about it should i get up and get a drink of

[13:01]water should i go towards the fridge and open the fridge and

[13:03]take a bottle you don't consciously know that you're thinking about this

[13:06]but in fractions of milliseconds you're thinking about this if you reach

[13:11]a conclusion where you say to yourself yes i will go to

[13:15]the fridge and take a bottle of water and drink you enter

[13:19]into the third state where now you develop shelk or you develop

[13:23]a want for the water now you want the water the final

[13:28]part is irrada as in now you will it you make it

[13:35]happen so then to make it happen you get up and you

[13:36]walk towards the fridge you open the fridge you take the bottle

[13:40]and you drink the water brothers if you can go to the

[13:46]back please please thank you i'm very sorry we have some naughty

[14:03]ones it's all good i tried so then the process of thought

[14:19]is broken down into these stages the example of water i know

[14:24]i'm thirsty it began with a thought of my thirst a helium

[14:26]of my thirst i'm thirsty i thought about it i concluded that

[14:30]yes i want to quench my thirst so i developed a want

[14:35]for the water and because i want it i will it and

[14:38]i go towards it and i drink water now this is a

[14:41]very simple example a lot of what we do is based on

[14:45]this thought process sometimes it's more important than this and more detrimental

[14:50]like let's say a brother wants to marry your sister if he

[14:53]has knowledge that he wants to get married or that he has

[14:57]knowledge of a certain sister that he knows that he wants to

[15:01]marry so then he enters into the state of the should i

[15:03]or shouldn't i am i ready or not is she the one

[15:07]or not do i have the material means or not can i

[15:09]bear this responsibility or not he weighs the pros and the cons

[15:13]depending on what conclusion he makes a lot is going to change

[15:17]in his life if he decides in his thinking process which may

[15:22]take longer than milliseconds this time he will say no and it

[15:26]ends right there if he concludes yes he enters into the state

[15:29]of shulk and so he wants to go towards whoever he is

[15:33]interested in he wants her now and then he has to will

[15:35]it which means he has to go and make it happen and

[15:37]having a car and a house counts in our culture so you

[15:42]have to buy a house and get a car in any case

[15:45]so you get up and you go and you will it and

[15:50]you try to do what's upon you to get married now the

[15:54]really important thing about this thought process is that through repetitive conclusion

[16:01]this will be settled into someone's heart and slowly over a period

[16:06]of time if someone keeps repeating a certain action in a certain

[16:09]way then the thought process the amelia the kriya is replaced with

[16:14]something else it becomes a habit you don't have to think about

[16:21]it anymore in arabic they call it malacca in english it would

[16:25]be called a habit or in some cases mastery if it is

[16:30]conscious you'd be mastering something if it's conscious where you don't have

[16:33]to think about it anymore so then the thought process of several

[16:37]different stages is replaced by something because of repetitive action so when

[16:44]you walk on the street you mastered walking you have a malacca

[16:49]of walking you don't have to think about right step first then

[16:53]left step second then third step with my right foot you don't

[16:57]have to think about that when you were a kid and you're

[17:00]just starting to learn you were very careful and you would drop

[17:03]now you mastered it you can walk and talk and juggle and

[17:06]do whatever else you want to do when you're walking when you

[17:09]first learn how to drive when you first go in the car

[17:13]and you check all the mirrors and you check the rear view

[17:14]and you put your seatbelt on unless you're in lebanon and then

[17:20]and you would be so careful with driving the car but now

[17:24]after perhaps four or five months you get in the car you

[17:29]don't think about anything you just turn the key you press whatever

[17:31]you want to press and you go forward with it you don't

[17:34]think about it you just get in the car and you go

[17:36]to your towards your destination because now driving for you has become

[17:42]a melaka after hours and hours of repetitive action and practice it

[17:48]is a malika so you've mastered it it's a habit for you

[17:52]when you write with your handwriting you don't think about how you

[17:56]write you just write you've mastered it you no longer have to

[17:58]think about it so with random things in our life there is

[18:02]a thought process but with repetitive actions this thought process is replaced

[18:09]and you develop mastery why is this important this is important because

[18:15]mastery leads to iman when you consciously master something that's when you're

[18:19]going towards iman it's scary because if you develop a malacca or

[18:24]something which god forbid is bad for your soul then you're in

[18:29]deep trouble because if you develop a malacca of anger let's say

[18:33]and you become an angry person and anger is a habit for

[18:38]you and you just react with a very loud voice or violence

[18:41]or anything else of the symptoms of anger then as we see

[18:44]people when they get angry and they calm down they say i'm

[18:47]so sorry i don't know what i was thinking i just went

[18:51]blind i just saw red i didn't mean to say that i

[18:53]didn't want to say that because anger is a malacca for them

[18:59]now they have the habit of anger or god forbid the habit

[19:02]of desires that can lead someone into haram actions that habit becomes

[19:08]an addiction or any other addiction even a non-haram addiction the haram

[19:13]addictions are the worst but even a non-haram addiction shows that one

[19:19]has not mastered themselves yet like our phones like youtube like tv

[19:24]like all these addictions that people have if you watch tv every

[19:27]day then you have to start asking yourself if you're addicted to

[19:32]it and if you're addicted to it then you have to know

[19:33]that you're not a master of yourself and if you are not

[19:36]a master of yourself you have to really think to see am

[19:38]i okay with not being someone who has mastered themself because one

[19:45]of the points and prerequisites of knowing oneself is to master oneself

[19:50]to know oneself means to know god if you cannot master yourself

[19:53]you cannot know yourself you have to master yourself even if it's

[19:56]a halal addiction you don't want to be enslaved or obedient to

[20:01]any of your desires or addictions you have to master all your

[20:06]actions so we want to go towards a conscious type of mastery

[20:10]and where in which the real mastery we master those actions which

[20:13]we want in our lives so we see skill sets out there

[20:17]that we want and we want to master those things and make

[20:19]them a part of us to the point that we don't even

[20:22]think about it whereas all those bad habits and addictions that we

[20:26]don't want remove them from our life that's the mastery that would

[20:30]lead to iman a book by the same name of mastery by

[20:34]a man named george leonard he splits the people into three different

[20:37]categories he says you're either a master or a dabbler or a

[20:45]hacker master a dabbler or a hacker so he starts to explain

[20:48]each and every different stage and he says that this applies to

[20:51]everything by the way this applies to your religion your spirituality this

[20:55]applies to your occupation your work this replies to your studies at

[20:59]university this reply this applies to your relationships with your spouse or

[21:05]your parents or your friends or anyone else the master is the

[21:11]one who they engage they start something new and they make significant

[21:15]progress he uses the example of tennis because this applies to sports

[21:20]as well so he says someone has taken up tennis and they're

[21:23]making significant progress with tennis they're learning the small intricacies and subtleties

[21:29]from the flick of the wrist to everything else and they're making

[21:32]significant progress for weeks on end but after the five six week

[21:38]period they reach a stage where they reach a plateau they can't

[21:43]progress anymore they've been progressing rapidly for about five weeks and now

[21:49]they have plateaued they can't progress anymore what does the master do

[21:53]the master is the one who through the plateau they persist and

[21:58]they keep trying and they may change the technique but they have

[22:02]their goal set in mind to keep progressing in this case with

[22:07]the tennis and eventually because of repetitive persistent action and the smart

[22:12]way of changing the technique because they persist they end up reaching

[22:16]the goal and they break through the plateau and then they continue

[22:20]to progress until they reach the next plateau and because they're a

[22:22]master they will break through that plateau anyone who has mastered anything

[22:27]knows what this is the difference with the dabbler is that the

[22:30]dabbler's the one they start something great they're very enthusiastic when they

[22:37]start mom dad i've got this new job and this is going

[22:39]to be great and i'm going to climb the ladder and i

[22:42]put a five-year plan six months down the line the person doesn't

[22:45]like their boss they don't like their shifts they don't like their

[22:48]schedule they don't like how far the place is from their home

[22:52]and they change their mind and they leave that's the plateau they

[22:55]plateau that work and they leave then they come back mom dad

[22:59]i found a new job and it's going to be great they

[23:04]start enthusiastic and they make progress so the dabbler also starts tennis

[23:07]and also becomes good at tennis for the first five weeks but

[23:11]then they plateau but what do they do they give up the

[23:13]dabbler is the honeymoon person when everything is lovey-dovey in the beginning

[23:18]and i love her so much and then after the honeymoon the

[23:20]arguments start and then he doesn't love her anymore and he goes

[23:24]to the next one and then he loves her and then now

[23:28]there's an argument and then that's a plateau he moves again it's

[23:31]the person without any consistency and that's a dabbler the hakka is

[23:36]the one who call us they stay the same for their entire

[23:40]lives whether they are bad at something or good at something or

[23:43]their life isn't going so well alhamdulillah doesn't do anything about the

[23:48]situation and they stay in their place by my estimation my brothers

[23:54]and sisters most of us here are dabblers we are spiritual dabblers

[23:59]with allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala whether the dabbling goes into other parts of

[24:05]our lives that's for you to to see and reflect on but

[24:08]at least in spirituality and in religion we dabble a heck of

[24:14]a lot so we want to get close to allah now it's

[24:16]muharram now it's ashora we'll come to the mosque okay i'm going

[24:19]to change my life i'm going to do something different i'm going

[24:24]to start praying salatullah okay i start praying started one day the

[24:28]next day i don't wake up for fajr the third day i

[24:30]wake up but i don't feel like praying i pray only the

[24:33]worst day the fourth day you know what today i'm gonna pray

[24:36]quran i'm gonna do quran only that's okay quran is good i

[24:39]read the quran the fifth day i don't make up for fajr

[24:41]again the sixth day khalas and i forget this it's out of

[24:43]layla i can't do it the seventh day you start something new

[24:46]the person means well and they're enthusiastic and i'm gonna do this

[24:50]and i'm gonna change but you don't master anything and all you

[24:53]do is you touch some vikkir here and you touch some vikya

[24:57]here and you touch some quran here and then you stop again

[24:58]you start memorizing something then you stop again you start listening to

[25:03]a lecture a day for example and then you stop again there's

[25:04]no consistency as soon as you reach your plateau and as soon

[25:09]as you get bored you stop and this is a big issue

[25:14]because some people have been doing this until they're 60 years old

[25:18]okay and alhamdulillah they're trying to do good and they feel like

[25:21]they have done a lot of ahmad in their life but they

[25:23]will not reap the rewards within their soul the way that they

[25:28]could have if that if it was organized if it was organized

[25:32]so it's much better for us to take something very small very

[25:37]small bit of ammar if you really want to get close to

[25:41]god and you want to ascend in this spiritual progress to take

[25:44]one action that you feel is good for you that you can

[25:50]do and apply that every single day in your life rather than

[25:53]taking a huge task and doing that once a year or once

[26:01]a month that actually might hurt you sometimes it can break you

[26:04]because you no longer want to go forward with it i would

[26:09]recommend the smallest thing that i can think of alhamdulillah that simple

[26:18]after your prayers just do this as in after fajr by the

[26:24]way you have to be waking up for fajr that's like that's

[26:27]not uh that's not even a question here that's a way that's

[26:30]the that's haram if you don't make up for fajr okay so

[26:33]we're not talking about the haram and you should be waking up

[26:35]for vegeta fajr is not the time you wake up and you

[26:38]do tafakkur because then you're going to go asleep before you reach

[26:42]the next stages fajr has to be america where that's you've mastered

[26:46]waking up at that time you know all those people that say

[26:49]even if my mom doesn't go off i just wake up at

[26:50]that time because they've mastered it it's mastery for them it's a

[26:54]habit for them you have to no longer dabble take this be

[26:56]hazara and make sure you do that at the end of every

[27:01]prayer for example that small piece of amma you do the subhanallah

[27:12]you think you're over and you think over the universe and you

[27:15]think over everything that you're grateful for and you thank allah and

[27:19]you feel the gratitude and you move on that's really you're meditating

[27:22]now you're giving yourself time you're not doing the quick movement of

[27:25]the limbs and movement of the tongue if you take a small

[27:31]bit of ammo and you consistently do that over a long period

[27:34]of time it's much better for you it's like taking a vase

[27:37]and cleaning it with a cloth every day rather than just giving

[27:41]it a wash once a year because after a week it's going

[27:45]to get dusty again but if you everyday just wipe it with

[27:47]a cloth you're not washing it but you're wiping it at least

[27:51]it consistently stays tidy and maybe week after week you can put

[27:55]something extra on it a little bit a little bit if you

[27:58]want to praise a lot to lane fantastic start with once a

[28:03]week don't kill yourself when you feel inspired and motivated inspiration and

[28:07]motivation are not reliable what is reliable is your discipline discipline is

[28:14]above inspiration and motivation inspiration and motivation are about the way you

[28:21]feel and sometimes you feel good and sometimes you feel bad and

[28:24]it can't be about the way that you feel the way that

[28:28]you feel is not enough and a lot of us when we

[28:30]come to pray we want to feel that spiritual feeling that sometimes

[28:34]we get and it's an amazing feeling but then what happens when

[28:38]you don't get the feeling anymore does that mean you stop praying

[28:44]or you pray late or you pray other it's not about the

[28:47]feeling because then you really have to ask yourself is that very

[28:50]minor shirk am i praying to god or am i praying to

[28:53]feel a pleasurable feeling you have to really ask yourself that is

[28:58]it for allah or just i can feel good if it's for

[29:01]allah then it's not about how i feel i can feel bad

[29:06]or good but i consistently as a slave and servant to god

[29:10]uphold my duties to him and my obligations and keep praying if

[29:14]it's about the way you feel it's inconsistent so one has to

[29:19]check are they do they keep spiritually dabbling or whatever other dabbling

[29:22]they're doing in their life and when are we gonna be masters

[29:26]now not everything should be a melaka though not everything like the

[29:29]time of salat should be america we should all at the time

[29:34]of salaat it should be mastered that we pray on time rasulallah

[29:36]if there was going off he would get up and he would

[29:43]pray on time but the salat itself should not be a malacca

[29:46]the salat itself should not be a habit because it has to

[29:49]have a fragrance and a taste you don't want to go there

[29:51]and just move your limbs and move your tongue and not give

[29:54]it anything you don't want to master the prayer you see master

[29:58]the time of the prayer but give each prayer each prayer its

[30:00]taste give each prayer your heart that you have to put effort

[30:05]into each prayer to be conscious sometimes we forget sometimes some days

[30:09]we don't feel as spiritual you still have to try just try

[30:15]that's all you need to do you do what you can and

[30:19]god will take care of what you can't what you don't know

[30:21]so imam sadiq islam even says don't look at someone and judge

[30:26]someone based on the way they're praying and fasting from the outside

[30:28]they might be doing that all the time because maybe they pray

[30:31]very fast when they're alone and then suddenly when someone comes in

[30:35]they become like nam khomeini and they get their hands out and

[30:39]they hunch back and they begin with their prayer and their voice

[30:42]cracks but we want to avoid that area we want something which

[30:47]is consistent and so imam assad islam says if you really want

[30:52]to know someone you should look at them by sidcal hadith that

[30:56]their honest speech if they speak truth and how they return the

[31:00]amount of someone when they have borrowed something from them in which

[31:03]state it is because it tells a lot about a person how

[31:06]much they take care of something that's not theirs that is not

[31:11]benefit beneficial or a benefit to them that they're doing it for

[31:14]someone else it tells a lot about someone a lot more than

[31:16]what you can see on the outside if they're bending up and

[31:21]down moving their tongues a lot of it is happening inside so

[31:25]we want to be people of mastery we don't want to be

[31:29]people of the habits and addictions that we cannot control and it

[31:31]comes down to this really golden piece of advice really a golden

[31:35]piece of advice and it says that successful people they do what

[31:42]they have to do whether they feel like it or not that's

[31:48]the golden piece of advice really write that down and stick it

[31:52]on your bedroom wall or something because that line will help you

[31:55]for the rest of your life in anything that you do any

[31:57]goal that you have that you set for yourself successful people if

[32:01]you want to achieve your goal successful people do what they have

[32:07]to do whether they feel like it or not so this is

[32:09]my goal this is what i have to do if i feel

[32:12]good or i don't feel good i'm going to do this if

[32:14]you only go to the gym when you feel good a lot

[32:17]of us are going to be overweight you if you said monday

[32:22]wednesday friday i go to the gym it doesn't matter if i

[32:23]don't feel good on wednesday i still go because it's part of

[32:29]the plan that's success successful people so in spirituality is the same

[32:33]if you don't feel good and you don't want to wake up

[32:38]for fajr isn't quite you have to you have to if you

[32:41]don't your station will fall more than you can imagine because of

[32:44]a simple thing like that you think uh the more that you

[32:48]if you want this regard the action the worst i is you're

[32:52]like oh it's nothing it's even worse when you say it's nothing

[32:55]because at the end it's a transgression against god and against your

[32:59]own soul so we have to take that seriously successful people do

[33:02]what they have to do whether they feel like it or not

[33:06]so we have to look at our goals look at those things

[33:09]which are stopping our goals and begin to eliminate them one by

[33:16]one three steps three steps and we'll end it there three steps

[33:18]that you can use when you want to eliminate these bad habits

[33:21]once you identify these bad habits the first step honestly you have

[33:27]to flee you have to run away run away simba and never

[33:34]return don't come back you run away from that place you go

[33:38]far far away from the place which triggers that bad action that

[33:44]you do that sin that you do that addiction that trigger whatever

[33:47]it is that you're doing that you're not happy with that you

[33:49]want to change think about where it's happening and who it's happening

[33:54]with and leave that place and distance yourself from those people you

[33:57]don't have to be rude you can smile at people don't be

[34:02]self-righteous but leave run go far away don't put yourself in a

[34:06]place which is going to make you keep committing the addictions or

[34:09]the bad habits that you don't want stop doing the things that

[34:13]are triggering those actions so if you're fleeing second thing is suspect

[34:17]yourself okay don't trust yourself never trust yourself the self will trick

[34:26]you the self is a trickster it will make you think that

[34:28]you've done it you completed the mission ya allah you're fine now

[34:32]let's go back to that place let's guide everyone and then suddenly

[34:37]you go back and instead you're misguided don't go back don't listen

[34:41]to the whispers don't trust yourself always suspect yourself and think what's

[34:47]gonna happen if i listen to the self right now don't ever

[34:52]think you're too strong don't ever overestimate your power if you think

[34:57]no no this won't happen because it's okay yeah we have a

[35:00]study date it's a study day it's just me and her but

[35:02]it's a study day it's okay we've got a book right just

[35:06]me and her and there's a book and we're studying and i'm

[35:10]okay and i'm strong but shaytan and shaytan is the third in

[35:15]that party okay don't trust the self don't overestimate your power don't

[35:22]think you can do more than you can so flee from that

[35:28]place suspect the self and you have to occupy the self okay

[35:31]some addictions that we do honestly one of the some of the

[35:35]worst addictions come from literally from boredom it's a lack of something

[35:41]in someone's life a lack of activity take up a sport take

[35:43]up walla going to the gym or training or doing something with

[35:49]your body helps your soul it helps your soul it helps your

[35:53]mind if your body is at rest your mind's at rest your

[35:55]soul's at rest you pray better the food that you take into

[35:59]your body it affects you everything affects you take care of all

[36:03]these things occupy yourself with something take up another activity to fill

[36:08]in the place and give yourself an alternative to this addiction or

[36:12]this bad habit that you want to get rid of so we

[36:15]have to often be in a state of this murakaba and we're

[36:19]talking about where we keep looking and engaging at where we are

[36:25]on our journey towards god and what is missing and what we're

[36:29]going to do because we only have a limited amount of time

[36:30]my brothers and sisters we don't have enough time so we need

[36:33]to do as much as we can every day and don't think

[36:38]that it's okay tomorrow the worst thing that you can do and

[36:41]the worst thing that i think the mass media has done to

[36:45]us is made us believe that today is inconsequential that today is

[36:49]just another day and tomorrow will be another day and it's okay

[36:54]do a bit every day guys you have to be doing a

[36:57]lot every single day to get to where you want you might

[37:01]think yeah i'll do this much now it's okay it's a process

[37:04]it takes 10 20 years it takes 10 20 years if you're

[37:07]putting your whole effort into it okay i said take a small

[37:13]bit of action but put a whole lot of effort into that

[37:14]action a whole lot of effort it matters the quality not the

[37:21]quantity you put your heart into it and so inshallah these nights

[37:23]at the end when we finish this theme it can be a

[37:28]time of change for us of real change in our lives we

[37:30]apply these techniques and in the remembrance of remember so that we

[37:36]are those who answered his call because on that night as he

[37:42]was walking around the camp the day the night before the morning

[37:47]of he walks around the camps and in each of the tents

[37:52]he begins to hear the prayers coming coming goes by the tent

[37:57]before the verse and he goes by the tenth of zayn the

[38:11]young teenage boys not even teenagers merely at the age of 11

[38:17]or 12 if even younger and she's telling them my son's tomorrow

[38:21]your uncle hussein will be on the battlefield alone and i'm going

[38:27]to need you both to be strong and to be standing by

[38:32]him and if tomorrow we will make you proud and show you

[38:47]what true soldiers what the grandsons of ali ibn abi talib can

[38:52]truly do and so the mourning of karbala came and the companions

[38:56]went out one by one and each of them was slaughtered and

[39:00]each of them was murdered and their heads were decapitated in front

[39:04]of the eyes of hussein once all the companions had gone out
