[0:28]e e his topic for tonight is the destruction pandemic let's welcome

[1:15]she with three loud salawats Muhammad Ali muhamad e m [Music] alhamdulillah

[2:36][Music] [Music] AB [Music] [Music] hin [Music] m [Music] [Music] for the

[4:35]purification of the souls the enlightenment of the hearts the acceptance of

[4:38]the deeds and for the hastening of the reappearance of the awaited

[4:42]Savior Enlighten your souls and the atmosphere with the recitation ofwat upon

[4:48]Muhammad Muhammad muhamad respected Elders sisters and brothers this unfortunately has affected

[5:08]and gripped mankind more at this time than ever before it has

[5:13]been highlighted by the Holy Quran and the as a dangerous obstacle

[5:17]to the development of a Believer and a human being and it

[5:23]was prevalent around the time of the massacre of karbala yet indeed

[5:30]was one that fought by say sh that destruction pandemic is a

[5:34]term that I have come up with regarding a phenomena that many

[5:41]of us are facing as well as mankind around the world today

[5:45]it's relating to distractability lack of focus and attention when we look

[5:51]around the world today we recognize that our lives have changed in

[5:55]many different ways speak to may Allah bless the elders you'll ask

[5:59]them about the 60s and the 50s and the 70s and the

[6:05]80s they'll tell you how life was completely different to today today

[6:09]one of the main challenges that many of us will face on

[6:15]a daily basis is that we're constantly distracted there are things that

[6:20]draw our Attention our attention span is now much less than it

[6:23]was perhaps 10 20 years ago studies today have shown that on

[6:31]average a human being loses 2 hours a day due to distractions

[6:35]distractions are all around us we're distracted by what people say we're

[6:41]distracted by technology we're distracted by stimuli no doubt it is something

[6:47]that perhaps has existed and continues to exist in our minds today

[6:52]you imagine a scenario that for example you're sitting down to complete

[6:58]an important task such as for example writing a letter or fixing

[7:02]a doorbell or for instance helping an individual all of a sudden

[7:07]there is a ping in your phone all of a sudden your

[7:12]watch sends you what a message from somebody all of a sudden

[7:16]you remember I haven't replied to that person's message all of a

[7:22]sudden you get a call from someone who wants to speak to

[7:24]you no doubt today many of us will be able to relate

[7:28]to this subject I remember when I was was researching and indeed

[7:31]trying to prepare for this mag several months ago during the Magus

[7:37]I kept being distracted I Subhan Allah I'm speaking about destruction and

[7:41]I'm being destructed in the idea that it's not something that can

[7:45]easily be eradicated in today's world today scientists psychologists behavioral experts have

[7:50]come forward and said there is a devastating impact on the lives

[7:56]of human beings due to this phenomena that is increasing day by

[8:01]day meaning what today people when they are distracted what happens there

[8:06]is less productivity less efficiency therefore they will have low self-esteem they

[8:12]will feel somehow dejected because some of the work they're supposed to

[8:16]do is not being done and therefore it impacts mental health one

[8:20]of the reasons why we're constantly distracted is what's known as the

[8:24]gratification grip meaning what I for example come back from work and

[8:30]I want to relax I sit there and I stroll and I

[8:35]begin to look through for example social media because that gives me

[8:40]a sense of release from the difficulties I faced that day it

[8:46]also gives me an understanding of what's going on or indeed increases

[8:53]the dopamine in my body the happy chemical and therefore what happens

[8:57]is I begin to become addicted to this what do we mean

[9:00]today science has shown that due to this distraction that many of

[9:07]us are facing around us digital connectivity has increased because it's a

[9:13]vicious Loop what we do is because we're distracted we're distracted by

[9:17]things that keep us distracted and therefore as a result we are

[9:21]not cognizant of the idea that we are in a vicious cycle

[9:30]continuously being drawn by much stimuli that exists out there the recognition

[9:33]is today there are terms that we have come across due to

[9:36]covid pandemic most of us now what it means it means a

[9:41]phenomena or in the world of medicine a disease that spreads all

[9:45]around the plan Planet endemic means something that's local today when you

[9:50]recognize and you see science has said that what today when it

[9:56]comes to doing a task it takes 11 minutes for us before

[9:59]being being distracted to complete a task the moment we are distracted

[10:05]it takes 25 minutes to return back to that task some of

[10:08]you may be able to indeed relate to this and we recognize

[10:14]that it's truly a pandemic how it is not only prevalent in

[10:17]the western world it is something that is witnessed in many many

[10:20]countries when you visit for example Africa or the Indian subcontinent or

[10:29]the Middle East you recognize that there are many who are also

[10:33]suffering with this especially the younger generation I tell you how many

[10:37]times you've seen people when it comes to being on the plane

[10:40]without Wi-Fi or for example when it comes to sitting on a

[10:47]table eating with the family members people are itching they want to

[10:51]get their phones out it's as if they're the president of the

[10:55]most important country in the world and they have to make decisions

[10:59]and they're waiting for some kind of instructions people are now even

[11:04]when it comes to maalis and lectures there needs to be a

[11:06]study done because I believe for maalis and lectures today the focus

[11:13]and the attention is much less than it was before remember someone

[11:17]recently coming to me and said is it possible that you do

[11:20]as a one minute real 20 minutes is too much for me

[11:29]he said and the recognition that today people want instant gratification and

[11:32]they want things quickly when I was speaking to a social media

[11:38]expert he said to me the first 10 seconds of a Tik

[11:39]Tok video is all that it takes otherwise people cannot remain on

[11:46]that video they scroll to the next one that's why this is

[11:49]of the utmost importance that we tackle these social issues especially from

[11:55]the member of ashur and learning from say the member of Hussein

[12:10]is like an alarm clock it's like an Awakening tool for you

[12:14]and I a mam year after year is a glorious opportunity to

[12:20]discuss some of the prevalent contemporary challenges that you and I are

[12:26]facing in our lives present answers seek Solutions be able to to

[12:30]improve our lives going forward therefore I would like to discuss the

[12:34]destrction pandemic by asking a number of important questions number one has

[12:39]the Quran spoken about this or not number two what do the

[12:45]say regarding this number three what causes it can I just remove

[12:52]these particular tools that have been present today and stay without a

[12:56]phone or an iPad or an iMac or anything else and then

[12:59]not be distracted or are there causes that I need to understand

[13:07]number four and therefore subsequently if I understand what's causing these distractions

[13:10]what are the presentable Solutions in My Life practical lessons that I

[13:16]could take from the member of sh number five and that is

[13:22]what happened in the time of the 10th of muharam how the

[13:25]the idea of destrction was used by Ben as a tool to

[13:32]weaken the resolve of the people and how is this linked today

[13:38]and therefore number six how do we learn from the personality of

[13:42]the heroes of karbala in order to defeat this particular phenomena especially

[13:48]inspired [Music] [Applause] by the Arabic word for distraction is Al when

[14:03]it comes to Al is used 16 times in the Holy Quran

[14:09]an Arabic lexer what does he say he says is when you

[14:17]become preoccupied with something at the expense of what you are supposed

[14:22]to do in other words something that draws you away and makes

[14:26]you less focused in your objective when you examine the Holy Quran

[14:31]there is a fascinating discussion regarding distraction and L please focus on

[14:39]this Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says don't be surprised that today more

[14:43]people are distracted than last year and the year before because this

[14:48]is part of the fabric of this existence meaning what in numerous

[14:52]verses Allah links with this with this existence listen to these Allah

[15:00]subhah waala says verse number 20 Allah says know that this existence

[15:14]has been created and one of the challenges for human beings is

[15:18]that they're always subjected to things that will take them away and

[15:23]somehow make them lose focus similarly Allah says in verse 32 the

[15:35]existence of this is nothing except games and destruction Allah uses the

[15:45]tools in Arabic which means exclusivity to mean that this is serious

[15:51]stuff this is part of life get ready for it yes be

[15:58]prepared to be able to challenge it all the aat that speak

[16:02]about start with first then please understand this interesting twist in the

[16:08]Quran meaning what Allah wa says there are things that distract you

[16:15]mainly whatever takes you away from the remembrance of Allah subhana tala

[16:19]in Allah says ay number 34 when it comes to this new

[16:27]of Allah Allah subh says what the light of Allah is found

[16:39]in certain places in which Allah has allowed the new and the

[16:44]place to be elevated to be respected yes the question here is

[16:49]this n of Allah where is it found please understand this Sunni

[16:52]and Shia narration all narrate that the sah came to the holy

[16:58]prophet Muhammad [Music] wasam and they asked him where can we find

[17:08]this new is it in the houses of prophets he said yes

[17:12]one of them said is the house of Ali and Fatima one

[17:17]of them the prophet says what he could have said yes yes

[17:21]it's one of them he could have said maybe yes the prophet

[17:24]doesn't say any of them any of these two what does he

[17:28]say he says it's the best house in which you can find

[17:33]the light of Allah yes this is found where he says the

[17:41]prophet says it's the best house now when the Quran in this

[17:48]Ayah says the next Ayah says what 36 these people and those

[17:58]who follow them should be those that are not distracted by sales

[18:02]and anything else from the remembrance of Allah subh tala Allah is

[18:07]sending us a challenge you call yourself the Shia of Ali you

[18:13]need to correct your life in order to follow the footsteps of

[18:17]Ali and Fa that means be wary of the tools that are

[18:24]being what given to you in order to distract you in one

[18:27]Ayah in the Quran Allah subhana uses before and that's where in

[18:35]verse number 64 we said all the aat have first then except

[18:38]this one which is what so this time distractions are presented first

[18:47]then games why because two ayat few ayat earlier Allah says it

[18:55]is Allah who guarantees your sustenance for you and gives it as

[19:03]a measure some mu have said it's because many people are distracted

[19:08]due to the seeking of R and therefore Allah subhana wa tala

[19:12]wants to say there is what an element here that impacts the

[19:17]lives of human beings and that's gaining wealth gaining money when it

[19:21]comes to what when it comes to the Quran Allah says be

[19:26]wary of this and another please understand this Allah says do not

[19:35]oh you who believe make your wealth or your children distract you

[19:39]from the remembrance of Allah means what it means the most powerful

[19:43]two entities which bring about this distraction pandemic around us is the

[19:49]seeking of wealth and what and the love of one's own family

[19:55]and children please understand this because the Quran says that know that

[20:03]your wealth and your children are a source of tribulation for you

[20:07]how many times we have heard of what of the challenge and

[20:12]the test of you and I when it comes to acquiring wealth

[20:17]when it comes to looking at only preserving our D and forgetting

[20:20]our when it comes to not balancing when it comes to not

[20:23]prioritizing I tell you this wealth can be destructive not only as

[20:29]as far as lack of focus and destructibility is concerned but it

[20:34]could ruin our dya before those who were disciples with isaam they

[20:38]were with the prophet of God who's known as he says to

[20:44]them I would like to go on a journey in order for

[20:47]us to spread the religion he said they said very well three

[20:49]of them said we will accompany you oh the messenger of God

[20:54]on the journey he would advise them be careful about this world

[20:57]this dun there are many distractions they may pop at you be

[21:02]resilient steadfast patience hold on to Allah they said very well no

[21:10]doubt this was his these were his but what happened the moment

[21:13]that they passed through an area they find a bag of gold

[21:18]one in Naf said there was a man in Naf who said

[21:22]I am blind but people didn't believe him so they came to

[21:26]the Maraj and said how do we test he blind before the

[21:29]Scientific he said put a bag of money in front of him

[21:31]and see if he sees anything or not when people see money

[21:36]what happens they will have these dollar signs in their eyes or

[21:40]in the case of this country pound yes therefore when these individuals

[21:44]saw this they said to the prophet they said to him we

[21:49]will wait here because it's a lot of money we have to

[21:50]protect it he said be wary of this wealth because it will

[21:55]take away the r of IM from your heart they said don't

[21:57]worry we will only protect it when you come back from the

[22:03]journey we'll be waiting for you here isaam said my advice to

[22:06]you is leave it why because you will perish because of it

[22:10]they said why we will perish this is money we cannot take

[22:13]with us therefore we will remain here when they remained here Shan

[22:17]came to them and one of and two of them and said

[22:21]why is it that you want to share this amongst three of

[22:26]you get rid of one of them and in which way tell

[22:30]him go and bring us some food and when he bring comes

[22:31]back with the food hide somewhere and kill him therefore you could

[22:35]share the two amongst you they did that when that individual came

[22:41]they killed one of their companions one of their friends look at

[22:45]what wealth can do to you Allah I have seen it if

[22:49]you want to see the devastating impact of money become an individual

[22:52]who deals with problems of the community and what someone who tries

[22:58]to reconcile from an two jamaat leaders why most of our problems

[23:02]is because of money disputes and you know what it's even between

[23:06]family members you have for example Sons and Daughters fighting amongst themselves

[23:12]when it comes to inheritance their father or mother has just died

[23:19]but you know what no no no no no I will have

[23:19]this particular item and you can't have it and you have disputes

[23:26]amongst friends and M and community members all over what all over

[23:30]this world not a penny of it we will take with us

[23:35]six feet under therefore when they both had this money Shayan comes

[23:38]to each one of them and says what and says that you

[23:42]must divide it amongst yourself but he also had given that message

[23:45]to that third man who are now being killed put poison in

[23:52]the food so that when they eat it you will be left

[23:54]with the money and so when the food was bought they both

[23:58]said now we have this for ourselves they eat it they both

[24:01]die Isa returns from his journey sees the bag of money and

[24:07]the three bodies next to it did I not tell you this

[24:09]wealth will cause you to perish therefore the Quran says be careful

[24:14]because it's a means of distraction for you likewise what your family

[24:21]Subhan Allah family is a very sacred institution in Islam but it

[24:26]can also be devastating in our spiritual growth and our goal to

[24:30]attain proximity to Allah waala it could be a means by which

[24:36]we lose focus in life in which way sometimes we put family

[24:40]over religion please remember that name if you haven't heard of him

[24:49]then please understand this individual he was with said I was with

[25:04]Ali on his way to we stopped inala when we stopped inala

[25:14]I saw Al sit on the sand Junes of carala lift the

[25:18]soil and cry and say oh soil what soil is like you

[25:26]people will be buried within you that will enter jna without without

[25:31]he said wall I heard this and saw this Ali from Ali

[25:37]he goes back home after says to his wife he says I

[25:43]heard say this and when I asked him he told me that

[25:44]my son Hussein will be slaughtered with his family and companions in

[25:49]this land he told his wife who is one of the lovers

[25:50]of Amir she said very well that that means he's on the

[25:57]path of H fast forward a few years carala 10 of M

[26:04]61 ah Muslim is on the campsite of yaid a you hear

[26:08]these stories and you think what's going on here ship of Salvation

[26:16]Lantern of guidance comes to him and says to him oh Wen

[26:18]you with my father when he came to this place he says

[26:23]of course I was no fake news there yes he admits now

[26:29]he says to him AB abdah says to him so then why

[26:32]don't you join me are you with me or against me no

[26:34]he says yeah AB abdah I am neither with you or against

[26:36]you or against you I'm neutral you know zero so Imam says

[26:42]what are you saying he says it's because of my children I

[26:49]don't want my sons and daughters to be orphaned it is that

[26:54]that sometimes what Subhan Allah this man was on the verge between

[26:58]J and what distracted him from salvation was his own family or

[27:06]his own understanding of how this should be looked at that's why

[27:19]famously says he says these distractions will make Allah subhanahu wa taala

[27:25]angry and it's the tools of Satan and it will make you

[27:34]away from the Holy Quran hence the Quran says in this beautiful

[27:38]description in what way Allah subhah wa ta'ala says these distractions that

[27:44]you and I are sometimes faced will be used against us on

[27:49]the day of listen to this beautiful scenario Allah portrayed to us

[27:53]in the Holy Quran he says when the day ofy happens and

[28:02]people are in paradise and in Hell the people of Hell will

[28:04]be able to speak to the people of paradise incidentally in English

[28:10]many people use Heaven it's incorrect incorrect to use heaven for Paradise

[28:16]or jna Heaven means the skies the heavens the correct English term

[28:20]is Paradise yet 99% of the people use Heaven here the Quran

[28:22]says the people of Hell will tell the people of paradise and

[28:28]a please we beg you we want water whatever Allah has given

[28:36]you we are desperate for it give us the response is Allah

[28:41]will not allow us to give you because it's Haram for you

[28:46]you are what disbelievers now the Quran says why why is it

[28:49]haram for them to obtain any water in hell those who allowed

[29:02]their religion to be contaminated with distractions and games and they were

[29:10]drawn by the materialism of this world today Allah says categorically I

[29:19]will forget them just like how they forgot me Quran is categorical

[29:27]be wary of these ctions because there is a plan in order

[29:31]to draw you away that's why how many of us when we

[29:37]come to when we recite know that one of the main areas

[29:40]or reasons for the is the the destructions comes when when he

[29:49]comes to Medina he brings many merchandise when he brings his merchandise

[29:54]people are listening to theba of the greatest human being the holy

[29:57]prophet of Islam he standing giving this all of a sudden every

[30:01]single Muslim except 12 Rush towards this individual who's bought products from

[30:07]different countries to sell Quran vividly explained this says when they see

[30:21]transactions and business and that which distracts them from Allah they leave

[30:26]you standing yes they leave their prayers the prophet ofam said something

[30:30]very important at that moment please understand what he said he said

[30:35]if it wasn't for these 12 who had stayed Allah would have

[30:46]destroyed all those people who left to go for destructions of this

[30:50]world if it wasn't for these 12 who stayed Yes W don't

[30:57]underestimate the power of any out there who observes religion and indeed

[31:02]holds tight to their faith those who pray those who observe the

[31:06]hijab stay away from music and Haram those who attended aalis of

[31:13]abdah don't ever underestimate the impact and the position you have with

[31:18]Allah subhana tala because maybe Allah saving mankind because of you because

[31:22]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is withholding the punishment because of the faithful

[31:29]believer who are still holding tight to the teachings of the holy

[31:33]prophet and the you know what someone says all these Muslims left

[31:36]the holy prophet and only 12 stayed with him now you understand

[31:41]now you begin to appreciate what happened on the day of H

[31:47]Allah Waal says yet on the day of H what happened there

[31:49]were over 12,000 Muslims when the holy prophet of Islam was ambushed

[31:56]with the Muslims how many remained with the prophet Sunni and Shia

[32:01]all agree 12 12,000 from 12 they tell us 120,000 people witnessed

[32:08]the great day of the Declaration of the will and the imama

[32:13]of the commander of the faithful yet after a few months only

[32:21]a handful with with how could that make sense come and read

[32:24]the SE of the prophet and see unfortunately many similar incidents and

[32:29]therefore you recognize that these distractions can have the potential to truly

[32:35]draw people away from the teachings and from the religion of Islam

[32:39]now the question is what causes them what are the main causes

[32:45]of distractions in our day-to-day life today because there are people today

[32:49]who say fine are you telling me to get rid of my

[32:54]phone are you telling me to get rid of my TV or

[32:55]computer because for me that's the main destruction scientists behavioral experts and

[33:02]those who St studied destruction in our societies have said that no

[33:07]that's not the solution they say what there is a man by

[33:14]the name of near I and this individual has written a book

[33:16]called IND indestructibility near ale he comes forward and says I tried

[33:23]this because I was constantly distracted in my life so what I

[33:26]did was I I bought a word processor which had no internet

[33:31]I bought an old phone which is not a smartphone and I

[33:35]started reading newspapers as opposed to reading it on my computer he

[33:38]said but then I moved from one distraction to another there is

[33:44]another problem he said please understand this if you understand this that

[33:47]you will know what the challenges we're facing and how we could

[33:51]tackle them he says if you think about it distraction is on

[33:56]one side our minds are in the middle and then on this

[33:58]side is what's known as traction traction is what draws us to

[34:02]what we are supposed to do he says there are things that

[34:06]pull us this way and pull us that way and these are

[34:12]called internal factors or internal triggers and external triggers what do we

[34:18]mean he says internal triggers are cues that make us distracted easily

[34:23]what are they what are these internal cues in our lives that

[34:31]cause us to lose focus to somehow have a lower attention span

[34:35]please understand there is something within us there is something inside the

[34:40]main thing is what it's pain discomfort and escape from hardship science

[34:48]today says one of the reasons why for example I want to

[34:52]complete a task but I constantly go to something which gives me

[34:59]pleasure eat for example or speak to someone and procrastinate delay my

[35:06]tasks is because of an inner issue I have a pain within

[35:12]I need that pain to be relieved and that pain within can

[35:19]only be relieved by that tool of distraction yes now this element

[35:24]that's causing my distraction is as a result of a number number

[35:28]of Behavioral factors in our lives please understand this the first is

[35:33]boredom our seventh IM [Music] M he comes forward and says there

[35:47]are two things human beings will regret on the day of one

[35:51]of them is excessive sleep the second is boredom today science has

[35:58]shown that when when human beings are bored they can do anything

[36:01]there was a a study in 2014 in Science magazine an experiment

[36:05]they put men and women in a room with nothing to do

[36:09]that's it and over there there was a tool where by the

[36:14]moment they touch it they will get electrocuted they will get a

[36:17]a painful electric shock they left them there for a while they

[36:20]wanted to see what happens the results were 67% of men went

[36:28]several times and electrocuted themselves 25% only of women and it was

[36:34]interesting that they concluded that human beings can't stand being bored even

[36:39]if they're electrocuted they've got to do something they've got to fill

[36:44]their time with something otherwise they feel what they feel that they're

[36:49]not necessarily being uh effective in their lives this boredom is what

[36:56]sometimes triggers that internal cue for what for distractions when I am

[37:02]bored reading the Quran when I am bored praying when I am

[37:11]bored listening to a majus or a lesson or for example reading

[37:15]an Islamic book all of a sudden I want to ease my

[37:20]bordedom with something that allows me happiness and pleasure therefore I will

[37:25]stop that action how many times you find today our I has

[37:29]become what ritualistic and sometimes we compete with each other for the

[37:36]world record of how fast we can complete it yes you find

[37:39]individuals who will complete their Salah within half a minute why because

[37:44]there is boredom and there is discomfort I don't understand what I'm

[37:48]saying I don't know why I'm praying I'm reading the Quran I'm

[37:53]told I have to but you know I have no idea what

[37:54]I am reciting and therefore as a result you and I will

[38:00]be drawn towards this by whom by shaan as we will come

[38:04]to in a minute that's number one number two negativity bias please

[38:07]understand this so the first reason why there are internal cues that

[38:11]drive us towards destraction is boredom number two negativity bias means what

[38:16]pessimism people who think I can't do this give up easily they're

[38:22]not optimistic they're not positive human beings they believe that what they

[38:28]are weak and they cannot achieve whatever they are out there to

[38:32]achieve Shan will cling on to this and will say to them

[38:34]it's useless you will never finish this task it's useless don't read

[38:40]this particular Islamic book it's useless don't for example have this help

[38:45]this individual they will never be helped and therefore the lack of

[38:49]positivity is devastating at the same time there is a term that's

[38:53]used in Psychology it's called honic adaptation or adoption what does this

[38:59]mean this means human beings have a tendency to go back to

[39:03]doing that which they feel gives them relief and happiness despite them

[39:08]knowing that it's not good for them habitual meaning I know that

[39:14]if I sit there in front of Instagram and scroll for an

[39:18]hour or two what happens it gives me a good sense I

[39:23]feel good but I know it's not good for me even though

[39:29]I may know that it distraction I still do it yes these

[39:32]are important reasons now in order to combat them there are tips

[39:37]please understand because the member must be a practical member meaning what

[39:42]I sometimes every year in I make an attempt and I go

[39:48]and visit or see in different parts of the world throughout these

[39:51]two months and ask them how is the majalis this year in

[39:55]muharam they say mashallah the best we've heard I said tell me

[39:59]one lesson you've heard well I can't remember tell me one thing

[40:07]you took away I felt very good walking out but I can't

[40:09]remember how many maalis you've attended all your life during Mam and

[40:15]safer and other times of the year the recognition is it's not

[40:18]about quantity the idea today is that I need to be able

[40:21]to take these practical lessons that apply in my life question here

[40:24]is how do I sort out these internal cues how do I

[40:29]do it here are a number of tips number one I need

[40:32]to use the 10-minute rule please understand this what's the 10-minute rule

[40:35]the 10minute rule is when I am about to do something and

[40:40]there is a trigger internally because I want some happiness because of

[40:43]a discomfort and I want to be distracted I say to myself

[40:46]I'll do it in 10 minutes it's okay I could go to

[40:50]my phone in 10 minutes yes but let me just focus for

[40:56]10 minutes here the moment you defeat that stimuli you have already

[41:00]strengthened the mess within and you already on that path of what

[41:04]of saying no to distractions you defeat The Urge number one number

[41:11]two the task that you're doing maybe the T the idea of

[41:14]it in your mind needs reconditioning reimagine the task yes redefine what

[41:19]this task is instead of saying I'm just doing it because I

[41:25]have to focus on why you have to and therefore it will

[41:28]will help you to avoid being distracted number three self-compassion sometimes we

[41:34]are too hard on ourselves sometimes I look at myself and say

[41:38]I'm not worthy I remember when I was for example at University

[41:44]one of my friends who is one of the as well would

[41:45]come to me and say whatever he calls me whatever one of

[41:49]the first things he'll say is brother we are wasting our time

[41:52]we're all going to hell anyway what is this why are we

[41:59]so pessimistic about ourselves have belief in yourself have this is that

[42:04]Allah subhana T has given you and that you're the follow of

[42:06]the Quran and the and therefore you can do it and you

[42:11]can achieve it similarly what do we find when I develop these

[42:14]Within Myself and others and I will discuss about some of the

[42:17]Islamic tips in a moment that's the internal cues what it comes

[42:23]to the external most of us are aware of our wmds what

[42:31]are wmds weapons of mass destruction yes most of us are aware

[42:37]of what causes us to be losing focus I need to identify

[42:40]this if you don't know it ask your spouse ask your family

[42:44]member what is it that you're constantly Finding Me distracted by yes

[42:49]if it is for example the status of man united for the

[42:55]last 10 years then avoid that discussion if it is the for

[42:58]example what you are worried about finances then avoid that when it

[43:02]comes to this you need to identify what causes you to be

[43:07]distracted externally now practically there are things we can do to avoid

[43:11]these external stimuli and distractions the first thing is what these push

[43:17]notifications these push notifications I have calculated that on an a daily

[43:26]basis on average 28 billion not notifications are sent around the world

[43:30]and that's because on average any individual receives 406 notifications yes most

[43:40]people unfortunately haven't switched them off or don't know how to do

[43:45]it but it is one that sadly creates that what creates that

[43:49]lack of focus in our lives because we're bombarded with these particular

[43:56]PS that's number one number two of great importance and that's what

[44:00]and that is when it comes to the phones that we have

[44:03]sometimes have you seen people when they are sitting next to you

[44:07]they're holding the phone or they put it on the table science

[44:12]today has shown even though you're not looking at your phone the

[44:15]brain is still distracted by what the phone's message is or what

[44:21]could be on the phone it's also disrespectful to someone that you're

[44:24]talking to that you're holding the phone you're saying to them my

[44:27]attention is to the phone and you and whatever draws my attention

[44:31]first I will be looking at put the phone away science to

[44:35]put the phone away without with the possibility of you looking at

[44:40]it not next to you where you can actually indeed observe it

[44:46]number four and this is important resist the urge to respond quickly

[44:49]allahar and you know this is a humble message to the and

[44:55]I know many who say that Sometimes some of the Believers feel

[44:59]very upset when we are receiving these messages and we don't respond

[45:07]at the time frame that they wish one one say in America

[45:09]said when I didn't respond to a lady because I was in

[45:13]a meeting I tried to respond that night she had blocked me

[45:15]later I found out why are you not responding within a few

[45:17]hours these double ticks on WhatsApp and the blue ticks have all

[45:24]been created so that we're continuously distracted we're waiting for that response

[45:30]from that individual res resist that idea that you have to respond

[45:34]to somebody very quickly similarly be wary of the algorithms that exist

[45:42]on social media on YouTube on Instagram on Facebook on all these

[45:46]tools the moment you watch a video or the moment you are

[45:48]interested in a topic or the moment you speak to someone about

[45:53]something all of a sudden you are bombarded with this external stimuli

[45:57]that draws you further and further because that is the currency for

[46:01]social media to keep you there as much as they possibly can

[46:07]try time boxing meaning what at a certain time I will be

[46:10]with my phone other times I will not be so you time

[46:14]box your daily activities similarly 31% of people have never tried digital

[46:19]detox digital detox means what that when it comes to your phones

[46:26]you say one whole day I will not be with the phone

[46:30]I will not use the phone what can happen what are the

[46:33]repercussions of me not necessarily using the phone you see the problem

[46:35]today you say to me brother be practical we need our phones

[46:39]I need to what contact I need to buy I need to

[46:41]shop I need to do this at the end of the day

[46:44]if you are in control of your phone no problem but if

[46:48]your phone is in control of you then that is a issue

[46:51]meaning what meaning that if I am able to ensure that these

[46:56]stimuli are not distracted ing me from my tasks from my Salah

[46:59]from my duties then no issue but if they are I need

[47:05]drastic action I need action points and plans to avoid this from

[47:08]taking place sleep exercise meditation Dua are all very important when it

[47:15]comes to Islamic teachings we are told the number one being responsible

[47:21]for the is El loves it El uses it in his arsenal

[47:30]of weapons and this has been highlighted in the Quran and in

[47:35]the teachings of theam that it suits his objective it suits where

[47:39]he wants you and I to reach and that's why I tell

[47:43]you some of the M come forward and honestly say they say

[47:45]when it comes to our problems when it comes to issues for

[47:50]example such as me losing something and I don't know where it

[47:53]is I will find it when I am in Salah the moment

[48:00]I say allahar my mind drifts and distracts towards what towards my

[48:06]daily activities remember one of the came to one of the sh

[48:12]who told us that when he finish the M came to him

[48:18]and said to him M today your Salah was not right you

[48:21]prayed instead of three he said why I know that I've prayed

[48:26]three Ras he he said I know for sure he said how

[48:29]can you be sure he said please forgive me what I'm about

[48:31]to say but I own three businesses and every day is my

[48:35]accounting every I calculate how much money I made tonight I calculated

[48:43]two businesses only it happens what is the problem with our Salah

[48:49]do you know why we can't focus in Salah do you know

[48:52]why most of us would want to have most of us would

[48:56]want to know what is it that we're saying is because outside

[48:59]Salah we're distracted so much outside Salah there is this bombardment of

[49:04]stimuli that our brain cannot switch off the moment I say allahar

[49:08]if I train my naps outside Salah then in Salah I am

[49:14]able more to have the heart attentiveness and indeed the says to

[49:20]us there are specific tools that thean uses please understand these tools

[49:26]before we end Quran first of all says Allah Allah says these

[49:40]card games alcohol are all tools of Shan today our Maraj have

[49:44]come down hard when it comes to these poker cards these cards

[49:49]that people use people say no I'm not using it or playing

[49:52]it as far as gambling is concerned or all other games of

[49:58]chance I'm just using it you know as a game between two

[50:01]people innocent says you can't even use those cards for the innocent

[50:05]games yes because they are tools of Shan and there are tools

[50:12]that distract you and I similarly music that which Isam it's a

[50:15]tool of shatan to draw us away from the remembrance of Allah

[50:18]subhanahu wa taala and be wary of the trend that we are

[50:25]seeing sadly in some re citations out there from our own Brothers

[50:31]when it comes to and nid they are doing a great job

[50:39]in motivating and keeping the passion of wi as well as the

[50:43]remembrance of say sh but some are utilizing music that is suitable

[50:48]for events of vice and Haram some are developing that movement towards

[50:54]it the movement that they present themselves the singing style that they

[51:00]use be very wary of this particular Trend that we have to

[51:04]what highlight likewise when it comes to Haram relationships when it comes

[51:09]to the idea of watching Haram we are told all these are

[51:17]passwords of your heart that you give to Shan to make you

[51:19]distracted there are people say what's the harm in me watching something

[51:26]which is a few seconds I will indeed not do any other

[51:28]thing that's Haram but the moment you watch that obscene sight you

[51:32]and I unfortunately are doing what are allowing Shan to strengthen his

[51:40]grip so that we fall into this particular trap ofu and distractions

[51:45]and that's why when you come to the 10th of muharam you

[51:51]see Society was plagued was plagued with a destruction like today and

[51:56]indeed this was the tool of bani omay I ask you how

[51:59]did these individuals commit and perpetrate such a heus crime knowing the

[52:05]grandson of the holy prophet knowing that he was innocent and has

[52:12]not harmed a single one of them do you know why stands

[52:15]there before them and says what he says your stomachs are full

[52:21]of Haram food you cannot comprehend on his way towards carala he

[52:26]goes to an area known as this story I always have this

[52:33]emphasis to remind myself first and foremost and my brothers and sisters

[52:37]every mam because it's so relevant to our lives similar to when

[52:43]he goes to this area which today andala have found this location

[52:50]he goes to a man by the name of this individual goes

[52:57]to his tent allahar I cannot fathom when I read these narrations

[53:03]how individuals can reject the truth when the representative of Allah and

[53:08]the purest of the pure makes the attempt and tries to guide

[53:12]them yet they reject him he goes to him and says to

[53:21]him oh you fought against my father in saf you have sins

[53:24]that you need to ask Allah for forgiveness I am opening the

[53:30]door of Toba for you when we say yes Hussein is the

[53:37]mercy of Allah that is encompassing and it's open to people never

[53:41]judge someone who comes to the maalis of Hussein and has not

[53:47]come before and say why don't we see you the rest of

[53:48]the year do not look down upon them they are clinging to

[53:53]the hope that is Hussein Ali and so he says to this

[54:00]man he says to him come come with me and I guarantee

[54:02]your salvation he says to him you know I have Gardens and

[54:08]I have money and I'm worried he says I will guarantee their

[54:12]protection and I will give you more just come with me he

[54:17]says to him ydah I have a horse I'll give you my

[54:20]horse but my children I want to stay with my kids and

[54:28]family Subhan Allah this individual rejected the invitation towards salvation Imam said

[54:33]to him if you're not going to join me then here is

[54:35]what I'm going to say say to you get out of here

[54:39]go as far as you can because on the day of ashur

[54:44]If You Hear My Cry for Help and you do not come

[54:48]and support me Allah will place you in the pits of hell

[54:50]do you know this what he did after he came to the

[54:56]grave of IM Hussein am when he came he sat next to

[55:00]the Grave he was the first to visit but that's why we

[55:01]do not respect him because he was not the first righteous to

[55:06]visit the first righteous was whom was abdah comes cries crocodile tears

[55:13]next to the grave of Hussein and says I wish I joined

[55:15]you only a few years later he fights against M and is

[55:19]killed this is the result of Destruction this is the result of

[55:26]the toxicity that existed in the hearts of people around bani sought

[55:29]to do this bani knew how can we make people not follow

[55:36]Hussein the best way is to make them preoccupied with this world

[55:40]the best way is to make them run after materialism and therefore

[55:45]they will not be able to see the truth be wary of

[55:49]what's happening today be wary of similar tools that drawing you away

[55:53]from Islam and Faith be wary of the time that spent away

[55:58]from the worship and the remembrance and the service to Allah subhah

[56:01]wa ta'ala by vain activity that's distracting us from the ultimate goal

[56:06]there no doubt this is something that s stood with bravery courage

[56:14]and sacrifice in order to refine and purify society and the community

[56:18]I ask you when he left Medina he made this absolutely clear

[56:26]yes I am seeking reform in the um of my Prophet that

[56:42]my goal is to enjoin the good and forbid the evil Medina

[56:48]was beloved to abdah it was painful to leave Medina it was

[56:52]painful to Bid Farewell to some family members who who had to

[56:59]stay in the city of the Prophet R tell us there is

[57:02]one daughter of husse that couldn't join abdah because she was sick

[57:09]that Fatima imagine the heart of that young daughter of Imam when

[57:13]she bids farewell to her father when she bits farewell to her

[57:20]brothers when she she bits farewell to her uncles how can a

[57:23]small girl who is looking at these individuals hoping that they would

[57:27]return enjoy that pain of Separation The Rat says when she looked

[57:33]at AB abdah she said to him my dear father one thing

[57:36]please if you're leaving and I am not able to withstand this

[57:43]separation leave AAR with me I beg you that AAR leave him

[57:49]with me yes but ABD consoles her and says to her that

[57:53]you know we have to go this is the plan of Allah

[57:56]that these family members have to come with me theat says on

[58:02]the day of a on the plains ofala when theah were all

[58:07]massacred when the were all killed except Hussein that daughter of Imam

[58:15]sends a letter via somebody he receives that letter on these difficult

[58:24]final moments the letter says oh my father I miss you so

[58:27]much please tell me tell me of the news of my uncle

[58:33]Abbas tell me of the news of my brother abbar tell me

[58:39]of the news of my cousin Kim and my cousins and Muhammad

[58:42]but my dear father tell me how is my little brother AAR

[58:50]yes the moment Imam reads this letter he folds the letter the

[58:54]tears coming down his eyes the poet says it's as if he

[59:00]can say to her oh my dear Fatima you want to come

[59:03]and see what happened to your uncle then Abbas is next to

[59:10]the fat without his arms if you want to know about Kim

[59:12]then his head is split into two but I cannot tell you

[59:18]what happened to AAR it's too painful the poet describes this now

[59:22]in Medina later when the car van of ab abdah returns this

[59:30]Fatima is waiting she's waiting for the news of her father of

[59:34]her brothers of her family members when bisher comes and recalls what

[59:39]happens inala it is as if she asks please tell me of

[59:46]the news of AAR have they fed him any water tell me

[59:52]tell me what happened to him the poet says it's as if

[59:58]say Zab comes and speaks later to this young daughter of hers

[60:02]she would say to her oh Fatima when I saw your father

[60:08]carry the body of AAR that's the moment my heart broke into

[60:12]pieces that's the moment which I knew AAR is no longer alive

[60:17]imagine the pain of hearing what happened to the father to the

[60:24]brothers to that young innocent baby but I ask you the was

[60:27]this the only baby that they had to endure the pain of

[60:34]the poet describes that moment he says those in Medina would say

[60:39]oh Zab oh Zab when you described we remembered the ofb yes

[60:49]because the poet says in that speaks toar he says to him

[60:57]oh my nephew tell me how did you feel the pain of

[61:00]that Arrow yes AAR looks at him and says oh my uncle

[61:06]you tell me how did you feel the pain of that nail

[61:12]yes Imagine One complaining to the other that AAR says to M

[61:16]my lips were dry were dry I wanted some water but instead

[61:24]they they they kill killed me with a three ponged Arrow M

[61:31]said at least at least you saw your father and mother because

[61:35]the only thing I heard was my mother collaps on the ground

[61:43]when she was crushed between the wall and the door and I

[61:47]heard her cry oh my father father they have caused my my

[61:55]young baby to be Shah we pray to Allah subhanahu waala to

[62:12]grant us the strength and the to to be able to stand

[62:17]up against all distractions that keep us away from the remembrance of

[62:21]Allah we pray to him subhanahu wa taala to allow us to

[62:26]follow the Holy Quran and and to give us strength against Shan

[62:31]and all evil forces we pray to him subhana wa tala to

[62:34]raise us with Muhammad Muhammad and allow us to uphold theal of

[62:38]Hussein Hussein husse
