[0:24]foreign [Music] one of the universal laws of this world this creation

[1:00]of allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is trials and tests every single individual

[1:08]has to be tested in this life no one can come into

[1:15]this life and leave without being tested and everyone their test is

[1:20]unique to their own everyone their test is different [Music] the believers

[1:34]we mentioned yesterday the believers their test is harder it's more difficult

[1:40]this is why holding on to faith is a challenge this is

[1:47]why you see the ramadan night program not many people come but

[1:51]if there's a food stand outside selling hot dogs you find thousands

[1:57]of people right it's hard to hold on to your faith it's

[2:00]hard it's hard it's difficult to hold on to religion and this

[2:05]is one of the tests that people face now in life we

[2:11]face tests some people they pass those tests very easily and other

[2:20]people the test becomes very difficult for them to pass it becomes

[2:24]a source of anxiety for them it becomes a source of mental

[2:29]health issues some of them go on to suicide others they go

[2:35]on to using drugs using narcotics in order to deal with life's

[2:40]problems because there's so much pressure on them they can't deal with

[2:45]that pressure so they resort to drugs and they resort to narcotics

[2:52]and this is why my dear brothers and sisters these issues these

[2:57]mental health issues the issue of anxiety and stress and depression and

[3:02]issues which lead to drugs and narcotics this is a very serious

[3:09]issue especially in our community a major issue yesterday one of the

[3:14]brothers he told me something which really scared me really frightened he

[3:20]said right now within the next six months don't be surprised if

[3:27]you see overdose deaths of narcotics a spike in overdose and narcotics

[3:33]in our community told him why he said because now according to

[3:40]homeland security and according to the uh border patrol they are there

[3:46]is a rise federal federal agents they see that there is a

[3:49]staggering 4 000 percent increase in fentanyl seizures so there's this new

[3:58]drug it's the new drug of choice that people are resorting to

[4:01]right now i've never i had never heard of it before and

[4:06]it's called fentanyl and this there's a rise in it and it

[4:13]is all over it's all over it's something that is easily accessible

[4:18]it's what the drug cartels like to use so he said don't

[4:23]be shocked if you see that there's going to be a rise

[4:28]in overdose deaths within the next six months in our community and

[4:30]this is a sad reality my dear brothers and sisters this is

[4:36]why the mosques the religious scholars the organizations the leaders in the

[4:39]community they all have a responsibility no one could say i'm not

[4:47]responsible every single one of us we have a responsibility if you're

[4:50]a parent you're responsible if you're a brother you're responsible if you're

[4:53]a mother you're responsible if you're a teacher you're responsible whoever you

[4:59]are because this could harm any one of us one day it

[5:01]could come to my neighbor the next day it could come in

[5:06]my family and it could end up arming me but the main

[5:10]source of this is when people don't know how to deal with

[5:16]anxiety see when we're talking about these drugs and the problem of

[5:20]drugs we're dealing with the consequences of a problem that has not

[5:24]been treated and the problem that needs to be treated is the

[5:30]mental health issues it's the anxiety it's the stress it's the work

[5:34]overload it's not knowing how to make proper decisions in life or

[5:41]when there are so many choices in front of you a lot

[5:46]of people they become anxious it becomes very difficult for them to

[5:50]deal with these challenges this is why my dear brothers and sisters

[5:54]we need to in the face of these issues we need to

[5:58]resort to experts we need to bring experts that deal with these

[6:05]problems but it's sad reality that dealing with mental health issues and

[6:11]anxiety and depression and stress is a taboo topic no one talks

[6:16]about it or someone is dealing with addiction no one wants to

[6:19]talk about it why not if it's a problem that you're dealing

[6:22]with just as if you have a heart problem you have a

[6:26]liver problem you have stomach problem you go to the doctor right

[6:29]similarly with these issues we need to talk about them we need

[6:35]to raise awareness we shouldn't be always hushing and not talking about

[6:40]these major issues that are destroying our lives and our communities and

[6:44]when you go to experts experts they give you a variety of

[6:48]answers a variety of ways in dealing with these problems this is

[6:52]why they've become experts they know what to tell you they know

[6:57]how to deal with the problems that we are facing so today

[7:03]tonight the topic of discussion is what are some tools that help

[7:11]us deal with anxiety instead of resorting to drugs instead of resorting

[7:15]to narcotics and things that are harmful for ourselves for our families

[7:20]for our communities what are some tools that we could all resort

[7:26]to and this is something that's beneficial for all of us these

[7:29]are some tips that some of these experts would say and then

[7:32]i would also add a tip that experts don't mention and what

[7:37]is that resorting to god resorting to allah as a solution to

[7:44]our problems so one of the most important ways to deal with

[7:51]anxiety if you're anxious if you find that you have so many

[7:53]problems in life and you don't know how to deal with it

[7:56]the first is don't be alone go and find like-minded individuals go

[8:04]and find good many and good friends that will help you and

[8:08]that will support you a friend is not just a friend that

[8:13]we resort to that we use that we have when we want

[8:16]to laugh and we want to socialize and we want to do

[8:19]our sarah and bring out no a friend someone who i will

[8:23]turn to when i'm in need a friend is someone who when

[8:28]i am doing something wrong when i'm falling apart when i'm slipping

[8:32]he comes and he gives me a hand and he helps me

[8:35]this is what a friend is supposed to be this is the

[8:37]good friend to have and this is why we need to assess

[8:42]our friendships the friends that you surround yourself with the friends that

[8:46]you have what kind of friends are they ask yourself let me

[8:48]ask myself i have this friend and this friend and this friend

[8:54]okay what kind of friends are they are they just the type

[8:57]of people that we sit and we enjoy and we laugh or

[9:00]is this person someone that i could rely on is this person

[9:02]someone that will help me up is this person someone that will

[9:08]help me deal with the challenges of life and this is why

[9:12]my dear brothers and sisters one of the best places to make

[9:15]friends build bonds and keep those bonds is in the masjid in

[9:21]the house of allah the people that you pray with the people

[9:23]that you do with the people that you listen to the lecture

[9:27]with those are the people that are god conscious not the ones

[9:33]who are very far away from god not the ones who do

[9:38]not remember allah and do not remind you of god and this

[9:41]is one of the main purposes of the masjid the masjid has

[9:45]many purposes it's not just a place where we gather and we

[9:48]pray the masjid is a place where we build communities where we

[9:53]build ties that could help us 20 30 years down the line

[9:58]and this is something very important the friendship that you built second

[10:02]my dear brothers and sisters if you're dealing with anxiety you need

[10:09]to keep the negative thoughts out of your head anything negative these

[10:15]negative thoughts keep them out because they will ignite and bring about

[10:22]bad moods and bad feelings and bad memories which will which could

[10:29]potentially lead you to falling towards wrong behavior falling towards something that

[10:34]could be harmful and this is why you need to disassociate you

[10:41]need to be away from toxic people there are some people that

[10:45]are toxic what's toxic toxic is someone that's like a poison you

[10:50]go around this person their poison will come to you they're rotten

[10:54]maybe in their looks and the way that they dress the car

[10:59]that they drive the watch that they have on they look very

[11:01]shiny and they look very nice what's the rotten parts what's the

[11:07]toxic part it's the soul it's the mentality it's the thinking you

[11:12]have to be very careful from toxic people who are the toxic

[11:19]people toxic people are those who only focus on this dunya only

[11:22]focus on the pleasures of this dunya they'll rate you they'll measure

[11:26]your success by the car that you're driving they'll measure your success

[11:32]by the clothes that you're wearing and this is bad my dear

[11:35]brothers and sisters now yes it's good to wear nice clothes it's

[11:38]good to have a good appearance but if that's all they're going

[11:44]to measure you with then that's not healthy relationship that's not a

[11:48]healthy lifestyle that you're living because today we see people in order

[11:52]to please those toxic friends they're willing to go and steal and

[11:55]cheat and make haram money which has an impact on their soul

[12:02]which has an impact on their children on their family why just

[12:04]so that they could show the world oh look at the watch

[12:08]i'm wearing look at what i have and this is something that

[12:11]is harmful for a person so keep those negative thoughts those negative

[12:18]attitudes negative mindsets out of your mind and focus on individuals that

[12:24]will raise you individuals that will make you feel better individuals that

[12:30]will bring you closer to allah this is what we have to

[12:38]do my dear brothers and sisters now today when we talk about

[12:40]toxic people there's a new trend out there some of these young

[12:46]kids these youth they come to me and they say yeah i

[12:49]went and i saw the psychiatrist and the psychiatrist said stay away

[12:53]from toxic people and my parents they judge me they tell me

[12:56]this don't wear this don't do that my parents are toxic i'm

[13:00]not gonna stay i'm just away from my parents i've seen this

[13:05]happen my dear brothers and sisters some people they come and they

[13:09]conclude that their parents are toxic why because their parents tell them

[13:12]don't be out so late at night because their parents tell them

[13:17]dress in this particular way then don't dress in that particular way

[13:20]no my dear brothers and sisters your parents are not toxic your

[13:23]parents are the ones who love you your parents are the ones

[13:29]who care for you the toxic mindset is the one that's trying

[13:31]to bring you away from god and bring you away from obeying

[13:36]and listening to your parents so this is some of the advice

[13:45]that's out there and when you go and you read what these

[13:46]experts they say they say you know in order to remove anxiety

[13:51]you need to exercise you need to eat healthy you need to

[13:54]be around good friends remove these negative thoughts they'll tell you all

[13:58]these things out there but they leave out one very important thing

[14:02]what is it god god is not mentioned in the equation today

[14:09]today why do we have so many problems why do we have

[14:14]so many so much suffering going on in the world because god

[14:17]is not okay in the equation because we're not going to the

[14:23]solution the solution is here we're going here here all around it

[14:27]we're skipping and ignoring allah and then we want to find the

[14:32]solution to our problems allah subhanahu ta'ala has the solutions yes god

[14:37]tells you go and seek the means go and speak to the

[14:41]expert go see the doctor go do all of these things that

[14:43]you have to do but god is the ultimate solution when i

[14:53]am sick it is god who cures me now yes some people

[14:58]they have the mentality don't take medicine don't do don't do anything

[15:01]only do dua no this is an extreme mentality as well god

[15:05]wants you to take medicine god wants you to see the doctor

[15:08]but also don't forget allah subhana don't forget god allah ta'ala has

[15:15]the solution to our problems he's the one who created me he's

[15:21]the one who knows me he knows everything that i go through

[15:24]all my struggles all my challenges shouldn't i turn to allah allah

[15:31]is the one who knows us when i'm dealing with anxiety i

[15:37]should turn to god because allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the one

[15:41]who has the keys of happiness happiness is a feeling who's the

[15:49]one who controls the feelings of the heart isn't it allah this

[15:54]is why my dear brothers and sisters when we worship when we

[15:58]pray we're not just doing something because god told us you have

[16:01]to worship you have to pray and some of us we see

[16:05]it as a burden no it's a blessing for you when you

[16:09]are praying you are giving yourself that boost of immunity when you

[16:13]are praying when you are speaking to god you are giving yourself

[16:17]that strength that you need to carry on and this is why

[16:23]even when he he used to be ordered to pray so that

[16:28]he could deal with the challenges of the day [Music] because you

[16:47]have a very difficult task out of you how do you deal

[16:52]with the challenges of life by praying at night same with us

[16:56]if we want to have that energy if we want to have

[17:00]that boost that will help us we need to turn to allah

[17:06]subhanahu wa because when i turn to allah i feel a sense

[17:11]of tranquility i feel a sense of belonging i feel that i

[17:19]am charging my soul when i turn to allah why do some

[17:22]of us go through anxiety because we don't have a relationship with

[17:26]god now yes we need to go and find the other means

[17:30]other problems the source of the problem but we also need allah

[17:37]subhanahu allah says you are weak you fall you crumble in the

[17:54]face of problems as soon as some of some evil comes to

[18:01]you you have jazza you can't deal with it anymore [Music] and

[18:08]naturally when we follow our we reject all of the good except

[18:16]those who pray except those who have a connection with allah subhanahu

[18:20]wa ta'ala it's not just prayer some people they say oh yeah

[18:30]i pray you have to pray every day you have to pray

[18:31]five times a day you have to care for your prayer you

[18:35]have to make sure that your prayer you're taking care of it

[18:37]so that it takes care of you and your prayer will take

[18:45]care of you in this dunya in the grave and in the

[18:48]so my dear brothers and sisters when we believe when we know

[18:52]that when we accept life as a test when we believe in

[18:59]god we will be stronger and we will accept that this life

[19:01]is a test this is also one of the benefits of believing

[19:05]in god one of the benefits of resorting to allah subhanahu wa

[19:08]ta'ala in the face of trouble troubles people who don't believe in

[19:13]god when they're tested what do they do they have no answer

[19:18]they say why is this happening to me i did this i

[19:21]did this i did this i don't know why this is happening

[19:23]to me they have no answer this is why you see some

[19:30]very successful people millionaires actors actresses they're so famous suddenly you're here

[19:33]they when they committed suicide why because there's no god because they

[19:40]don't have they don't know why they're facing troubles in life they

[19:44]can't make sense of problems and tragedies that happen in life but

[19:48]if you believe in god you know that every day you're going

[19:52]to face a test you know that every day is a challenge

[19:55]because god has promised us we all know from now we know

[20:00]that we're going to be tested god created this dunya to test

[20:24]us that's the whole purpose so if i believe in god then

[20:25]i know that i'm going to face tests and i know that

[20:30]god will reward me for my patience for everything that i deal

[20:33]with on a date today so this is what we have to

[20:40]do my dear brothers and sisters when you believe in god this

[20:44]strengthens your iman during the time of rasool allah he left he

[21:03]was out of town or something and she was taking care of

[21:07]the son she was taking care of the child the child fell

[21:11]ill and died so the father comes back and this lady she

[21:19]was very patient she was taking care of her her own son

[21:23]her own child and the child died so when abu talaha her

[21:29]husband comes she tells him if someone gave you a trust if

[21:35]someone handed you something and then a while later they come and

[21:40]they tell you give me back give me back that thing that

[21:45]i gave you are you going to be upset that they tell

[21:46]you give me back what i gave you i said no because

[21:52]this is theirs what they gave me is theirs why would i

[21:54]be upset she tells him that i give you condolences because your

[22:01]son died the one who gave us this child also took it

[22:05]from us so this the husband he was she could have came

[22:15]to him and crying and dwelling and hitting at herself and telling

[22:19]him your son died but she came in this way to tell

[22:23]him and rasul allah found out and rasul allah was very happy

[22:26]in the way that she came and she told her husband and

[22:31]allah prayed for them so my dear brothers and sisters when you

[22:33]believe in god it will make the problems and the challenges that

[22:38]you face in life even if they're difficult even if they're very

[22:46]difficult it will make them somewhat easier because allah did not create

[22:49]me for this dunya eventually every single one of us will have

[22:54]to leave this life and there's a purpose in my existence and

[23:01]that purpose is to be tested because when i'm tested that will

[23:07]determine where i will go in the afterlife when you believe in

[23:11]allah subhanahu wa ta'ala it will help you deal with the anxiety

[23:14]it will help you deal with the challenges that you face because

[23:20]you know you're surrendering to the one who has the most power

[23:23]you're surrendering to the one who has all the knowledge and it

[23:28]makes you feel better when you're surrendering to allah i surrender my

[23:50]matters to allah when you do that you will be much better

[23:52]off you will be living stress-free you will be living carefree you

[23:59]won't be dealing with the suffering that you have carried on your

[24:02]shoulder because you're surrendering it to a higher power when you have

[24:09]allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that will open you the door to do

[24:17]the that will open you the door the gateway of someone who

[24:20]has unlimited power unlimited authority if you don't have god who are

[24:26]you going to do to opt for who are you going to

[24:26]speak to in times of suffering when you're in need who are

[24:31]you going to turn to but if you have allah subhanahu ta'ala

[24:34]then you turn to him and allah says [Music] when my bad

[24:46]ask about me tell them i am close i will answer whoever

[24:52]calls me where do you find someone that says i will answer

[24:55]you anytime you call me that's only allah have to shout in

[25:15]my prayers some of us when we do dua we're always shouting

[25:17]do i do i have to shout in my prayers or are

[25:21]you close or that i whisper to you allah tells him ya

[25:28]musa i am the one sitting next to whoever remembers me if

[25:36]you remember god allah will be there for you this is why

[25:38]you don't even need to say what's on your mind allah knows

[25:42]what's in your hearts but yes ask about make it a habit

[25:49]to ask allah for everything even when you're struggling even when you're

[25:54]in need ask even something that may seem impossible ask allah because

[26:01]god is the only one who can turn the impossible into possible

[26:06]allah is the one who is able to give us allah tells

[26:12]prophet musa ask me for anything even ask me for the food

[26:19]that your cattle have to eat ask me for that and allah

[26:22]wants us to ask him and when we're asking allah subhanahu ta'ala

[26:29]this forms a lord and servant relationship this is why the imam

[26:35]i believe imam saw that he was asked if i have the

[26:40]choice of doing dua or reciting quran what should i do the

[26:45]imam tells him read why because when you read dua you are

[26:50]creating that relationship with god where he is the one who gives

[26:56]you and you are the one who asks allah subhanahu and this

[27:00]is the relationship that helps us live a healthier lifestyle finally my

[27:08]dear brothers and sisters when we have faith this will help us

[27:12]be more patient in the face of struggles in the face of

[27:19]challenges to those who are patient when they are afflicted with a

[27:36]tragedy when they are afflicted with a challenge in life it is

[27:41]the patient ones oh god will be with them so my dear

[27:46]brothers and sisters these are some pointers on how we can deal

[27:52]with anxiety deal with the stress and deal with the day-to-day trauma

[27:56]that we face as a result of the social lifestyle and the

[28:02]social challenges that we face we ask allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to

[28:07]make us from those who are strong in the face of challenges
