[0:00]this real I have a manual FEMA salat wa salam ala sayyidal

[0:05]mursaleen habib allah and i mean a real person Mustafa Muhammad while

[0:09]an elevated plebeian up ahead in Medina what a horror haunted here

[0:19]are solid wood along masala hominem Hamid but which is Audrey was

[0:25]silly and we offer after 10 min listening after Coen para la

[0:28]jolla Vicki terrible karim allah subhanaw taala states in the chapter of

[0:32]a lot of chapter 7 verse 51 he says Dena tougher do

[0:39]Dena home language iben bottom will fire at dunya fellowman and some

[0:48]commonness una caja de una can be a thi dune allah subhanaw

[0:53]taala says in this holy verse he says and those who took

[1:02]their religion as just being something that's unimportant to them they played

[1:10]and and entertain themselves and were beguiled why this life this dunya

[1:17]today Allah says in reference to the day of judgment we will

[1:21]forget them and sound come on necessarily just as they forgot that

[1:28]this theory of judgment will come what my counting we are unity

[1:35]nitride hoon and even though they saw our signs in this world

[1:40]and yet they were disbelieving I'm Anabella so Allah I knew nothing

[1:44]Salaam aleikum o Allah a water captain today the topic of our

[1:52]lecture is will I ever get to my bucket list now the

[2:00]whole idea of a bucket list is very common in the Western

[2:02]world though we might not see see it too much in the

[2:08]Middle East it's extremely common in North America especially and the the

[2:13]term itself was coined out of an adage that says you know

[2:17]when someone kicks the bucket which means when he dies so bucket

[2:22]list is a list of things for one to do before they

[2:24]die now though it might seem quite morbid when you think about

[2:30]it most people in the West they take the idea of a

[2:32]bucket list as a task list of achievements that they would like

[2:40]to achieve before they pass away usually what happens is that this

[2:46]list has some you know outlandish or extreme things that people want

[2:51]to do that might be hard for them to achieve traveling to

[2:54]France or living in a foreign country for example or learning a

[3:02]new language or jumping out of a plane or climbing Mount Everest

[3:07]for example many of these items that exist on the bucket list

[3:13]don't tend to be let's say socially relevant they tend to be

[3:21]more egocentric they tend to be more narcissistic meaning that they tend

[3:25]to be more about me and what I'd like to maybe share

[3:29]with my friends and say what I did and so we find

[3:31]movies and and shows that are specifically dedicated to the idea of

[3:36]achieving bucket lists and how it is that um most people go

[3:42]through their lives not achieving them and once they get to a

[3:46]point where they remember death or they have a near-death experience or

[3:49]they have cancer or they're about to die that the last things

[3:55]that they would do would be to fulfill their bucket lists so

[3:58]they pull out their bucket list and next thing you know they're

[4:01]on a trip or an adventure trying to have one last hurrah

[4:04]so to speak the question is when one thinks of death or

[4:10]is near death or in a state where they fear for their

[4:12]lives many people today feel fear truly for their lives because of

[4:19]the fact that there is a pandemic either they have covered 19

[4:23]or they're facing death in the face every day like our emergency

[4:28]workers such as our doctors and nurses and hospital workers and we

[4:36]find then that many of them as well as many of us

[4:38]who are though we are self isolating and socially distancing it's something

[4:45]that weighs heavily on our minds as well and so many of

[4:47]us we look back and think about the things that we didn't

[4:53]do some of us might be ill-advised and look at the bucket

[4:55]lists that they've made and they say oh I'm never going to

[4:59]achieve this bucket list because now it's an impossibility how am I

[5:02]going to go out how am I going to travel and so

[5:04]on and so forth today I'd really like to address the issue

[5:07]of the bucket list and I'd like to address it from three

[5:12]perspectives from a logical perspective from a psychological academic perspective and I'd

[5:17]like to address it from an Islamic perspective now logically speaking we

[5:23]proved that a loss of hundred unlimited he is all purposeful he's

[5:31]all perfect therefore we have a purpose in this life and we

[5:35]know that our purpose is to show him gratitude for bringing us

[5:39]to this world for choosing for us to exist and forgiving us

[5:43]Worth and so we spend our days and dedicate ourselves and all

[5:48]of our faculties towards showing that appreciation either by showing the appreciation

[5:52]on a personal level or by showing the appreciation by appreciating his

[5:57]creations or by showing our appreciation and when we say appreciating his

[6:03]creations meaning by servitude right we realize them that the greatest goal

[6:08]that should be on our task list of achievements in our lifetime

[6:16]has to be associated with that right that that would be our

[6:20]reference point and once you realize that what happens is we become

[6:23]more socially responsible right we become more grounded in in our needs

[6:27]and our once we don't need access right even though we might

[6:33]want it we don't need it and therefore when we realize this

[6:36]we realized that much of our wealth really if it's excess or

[6:42]extra that we should give it in charity so that others can

[6:44]benefit from it or we give it out in moon so that

[6:47]others can benefit from it that I need not eat more than

[6:52]you know what my caloric needs actually are and that whatever is

[6:55]extra really is not mine logically speaking it becomes my social responsibility

[6:59]to give it to those who are less fortunate and so what

[7:02]happens is the logical perspective brings me to servitude brings me to

[7:10]not spending my time or wasting my time and things that don't

[7:13]bring me closer to my creator on the contrary anything that I

[7:15]see that is rest and relaxation that brings me farther early or

[7:22]takes me farther away from my creator becomes something that I really

[7:26]shouldn't do logically speaking because anything that makes me forget a lost

[7:30]panettone makes me forget my purpose and if I forget my purpose

[7:32]then that won't please my Creator and if I don't please my

[7:36]Creator then I'm not going to get the ultimate reward of being

[7:37]as high graces correct and being rewarded for them so the logical

[7:42]argument then is quite simple we need not linger on it too

[7:47]much what we need to look at next is psychologically because in

[7:51]psychology what they do is they depend on studies they look into

[7:56]the society and into communities and they have case studies they am

[8:06]basically either Paul or they survey or they do experimentation in their

[8:10]labs and the results that they find about humanity whether it's in

[8:15]behavioral psychology or industrial psychology or social psychology this all helps us

[8:22]understand the human condition and why we do the things that we

[8:25]do so when it comes to the issue of bucket lists before

[8:29]we get started it's important to understand a key principle that exists

[8:34]in psychology today and that is called the peek and rule the

[8:36]big end rule was is a theory that is developed that was

[8:41]developed by Daniel Kahneman and Barbara Fredrickson they won a Nobel Prize

[8:47]for their work this 1993 study found that the human memory is

[8:51]rarely a perfectly accurate record of events the research team that they

[8:55]had asked study participants to basically endure uncomfortable situations not dangerous situations

[9:06]just uncomfortable situations and the results and their findings basically were what

[9:12]gave us this peak and rule and the big end rule basically

[9:17]states that it's a that there's a cognitive bias that impacts how

[9:22]people remember past events so usually humans they remember either intense positives

[9:27]or intense negatives right and these are what are called peace and

[9:32]the final moments of an experience the end really then is what

[9:37]is heavily weighted on it's what's really remembered in in why our

[9:44]brain ok that's really what registers so if for example I was

[9:48]to recall let's say in the last I don't know five years

[9:53]of my life right I'm going to remember specific events either events

[9:57]that were extreme troughs lows or events or extreme highs but everything

[10:02]in between is quite inaccurate it's a little shady and blurry okay

[10:08]so now that we know the speak and rule let's look at

[10:17]what you know psychology says and how it uses this then what

[10:21]studies are available okay so now that I understand that the human

[10:25]condition mentally speaking but really is almost programmed to remember the high

[10:30]points and the low points now how are we going to avoid

[10:35]that and what do bucket let's really do so a 2014 survey

[10:37]of 2000 people actually found the average person what's about 16 key

[10:42]dreams that they want to achieve in life and that ranges anywhere

[10:48]from having a holiday abroad to learning to play an instrument to

[10:53]which is haram by the way if you're Muslim um to swimming

[11:01]with the dolphins to you know bungee jumping or skydiving now what's

[11:04]wrong with them right well apparently on the outside it doesn't seem

[11:11]like there's anything wrong with that however what the studies have found

[11:14]is that there are emotional costs that are involved with these wild

[11:21]bucket lists that we make right these experiences actually end up making

[11:27]it making us socially isolated in another 2014 study published in Psychological

[11:30]Science by Cooney Gilbert and Wilson found that while extraordinary experiences of

[11:37]the type that we do cram into our bucket lists may be

[11:43]pleasurable in the moment that we do them they do have social

[11:46]a negative social impact in the long run experts say that we

[11:53]should be really more about meaningful connections and to other people and

[11:58]this is scientifically proven to increase our happiness and and it should

[12:02]be less about inward kind of not Cystic exclusionary goals that possibly

[12:08]lead to feelings of isolation and disconnection as a result so the

[12:16]late Christopher Peterson a former professor of psychology in the University of

[12:18]Michigan said that rather than choosing narcissistic ambitions like getting a tattoo

[12:25]or you know jumping out of a plane he says people should

[12:32]choose items for their task lists that connect them to something larger

[12:38]than themselves okay for example taking the whole family out on an

[12:44]excursion okay in positive psychology the research suggests that you know doing

[12:51]how having goals that are socially kind of inclusive they're more important

[12:57]to a fulfilled life and that's that's what he contends not what

[13:05]he does say is that he has a problem with bucket lists

[13:07]okay or he had a problem with what calluses he's passed away

[13:13]apparently he says that the thing about bucket list is they're not

[13:16]about living they're really about dying okay so usually when people think

[13:18]about a bucket list they think about what they're going to do

[13:24]before they die and he advises he says you should that we

[13:27]should apply stringent criteria when when it comes to what we're going

[13:31]to put on our bucket list he says that for example if

[13:35]you knew with certainty that you were about to die tomorrow right

[13:38]what would you do today today we're in this situation right there

[13:42]is a huge possibility that people can get affected and die so

[13:48]what would you choose would you choose to spend your last day

[13:51]changing your hair color or jumping out of a plane really right

[13:53]he says focus on quality rather than quantity for your bucket list

[14:01]something that really matters and he says apply this whole idea of

[14:05]imminent death he called it the imminent death rule and and to

[14:08]use it as a way to weed out less important goals mine

[14:13]that might be crowding your real life and rich you know quality

[14:19]ambitions and he says choose things that are within your sphere of

[14:25]influence meaning that usually choose realistic goals that are achievable he says

[14:31]you know you should also add small easily achievable goals to your

[14:35]list because it helps to be realistic small achievable goals you know

[14:39]make you feel as though you were able to actually achieve your

[14:42]bucket list as opposed to having you know outlandish goals that are

[14:47]unachievable now let's let's look at what what else there is there's

[15:01]a school of positive psychology right this is really what this is

[15:07]really what Christopher Peterson the professor in in the U of M

[15:12]is associated with and and he says that it's important for us

[15:18]to understand that the way that the human psyche works is very

[15:23]much based on the study of the peak and theory okay by

[15:28]Daniel Kahneman and remember that you're you know you're almost wired to

[15:35]remember the peaks and the troughs he says everything in between becomes

[15:37]blurry so what we need to do is to make sure that

[15:41]you know we kind of manage that right that we don't focus

[15:47]on getting highs because when we get really high highs what ends

[15:50]up happening is we end up having really low lows right but

[15:53]living in a state of kind of a medium is what he

[15:58]advises so what the details may be of one's bucket list then

[16:05]it must be that they are goals that are achievable that are

[16:10]realistic that are socially responsible that are quality as opposed to quantity

[16:15]right and to always keep in mind that you know that the

[16:23]imminent death rule that if you know if this was your last

[16:25]day what would you do with it fine so this was these

[16:30]were really interesting findings as I was researching because when we move

[16:35]on to the Islamic perspective what we see is that for example

[16:38]in the first that we started out within the chapter of the

[16:42]nod off chapter six or chapter seven I should say verse 51

[16:46]allah subhanaw taala says beautifully says and levena tucker duodenum own lava

[16:53]Malaya right well garage Omaha out to dunya he says and those

[16:57]who took their religion meaning their relationship with Allah soprano to honor

[17:01]his his commandments that they took it lightly right they focused more

[17:06]on having fun and playing playing around spending their time just wasting

[17:14]it really and they were beguiled and seduced by this this world

[17:19]and this life and all of the tests that Allah has placed

[17:22]within our path that we spoke about and previously that these became

[17:29]a way that were for our distraction right because you know what

[17:33]low is low is a distraction we you say la jeune FC

[17:38]which means that I distracted myself with this right or I busied

[17:42]myself with this and really became more of a distraction so a

[17:46]lot of character Allah says that people that do this according to

[17:51]this verse he says say Leone Nancy today on the day of

[17:54]judgment you know that we're going to forget them just like we

[17:59]first a forgotten because if we forget Allah Almighty in this world

[18:02]you know in our tasks then what's going to happen at the

[18:07]end we only deserve the same right and if we were heedless

[18:08]than a Lazcano to Allah will also forget us in the year

[18:13]after meaning that he won't engine instead will be suffering in the

[18:15]hereafter right so he says fellowmen and some commonness ooh Luka are

[18:23]you mean Honda llama can we are a teenage herdsmen and because

[18:27]of the fact that they didn't believe in our science right they

[18:30]saw death around them they saw life around them they saw you

[18:35]know people wasting their time they saw opportunities to do good deeds

[18:40]but they were busy they were too busy they said later we'll

[18:45]do it right that fall so una Lemon tabali so the dangers

[18:48]then that caused us to fall into these quantity sort of quantity

[18:56]living as opposed to quality living right is is what we really

[19:00]need to look at what we really need to analyze here and

[19:06]this LOM tells us really clearly that the biggest danger upon humanity

[19:10]is not to take life seriously you hear this all the time

[19:16]you hear people say all you know your tears are too serious

[19:18]you're you're taking a life too way too seriously right the reality

[19:22]is that allah subhanaw taala because he is purposeful and we proved

[19:25]that in the logical argument you know then that means that every

[19:30]single breathing moment of our life has a purpose and if I

[19:32]don't spend it in the way of thanking Allah and dedicating it

[19:34]to Allah then what's going to happen is I'm going to lose

[19:39]out on and that moment will never come back again right so

[19:44]if I do waste that time then time will waste me makes

[19:46]sense if I understand that then that I'm going to ask well

[19:51]what are the things that are going to cause me to waste

[19:53]my time right and then I'll have a discerning eye when I

[19:58]look at things right I'll be more careful you know I'll know

[20:02]what are the danger zones to be able to avoid them if

[20:06]I don't know what the danger zones are where the hazards lie

[20:10]that I won't know how to navigate through them right but if

[20:15]I know that even a blessing that I'm given is a test

[20:20]point that allah subhanaw taala says clearly in the holy quran in

[20:27]the chapter of inside where he mentions that you know keep one

[20:33]thing in mind well I'm not inside with an optimal favorite ramen

[20:37]that you know as for mankind when I lost a Nutella test

[20:44]with plenty right by giving them plenty of sustenance they say oh

[20:49]allah was gracious to me one madam of Telugu for Kara Allera

[20:52]scone they could not be a honey and as for when Allah

[20:57]subhanAllah Allah tightens the sustenance decreases it then that same person doesn't

[21:03]look at him having blessings as a test he looks at him

[21:06]not having enough as a test which is a fallacy because both

[21:12]are really tests right so but while he did receive plenty right

[21:16]he had twenty-four living and plentiful sustenance he lived in excess he

[21:22]forgot at the end of the road that lost honor to Allah

[21:26]gave him this to see whether he's going to spend in the

[21:28]way of Allah or not or he's going to use it for

[21:33]you know having fun right going skydiving or bungee jumping and trying

[21:38]to fill that time with materialistic limited things and so even when

[21:45]he hits those Peaks right he has deep deep troughs why because

[21:51]once you hit that high ok of achieving a limited goal what

[21:54]ends up happening is you don't see what is beyond so you

[21:58]can go climb Mount Everest if you want but once you get

[21:59]to the peak there's only one way to go but down right

[22:03]people like Michael Phelps who reach the height of their career in

[22:07]swimming by achieving so many gold medals the end of the road

[22:13]you know he ended up he ended up literally nose diving you

[22:16]know into drugs and alcohol and losing his sponsorships why because he

[22:22]didn't connect his Bulls with the unlimited Allah subhana WA Ta'ala and

[22:28]so he didn't know where to go after them so setting goals

[22:30]then becomes extremely important for us to do in order for us

[22:32]to reach the goals that allah subhanaw taala wants all of us

[22:37]now islam as we mentioned before is a holistic religion so in

[22:40]order for me to be able to avoid the situation of falling

[22:45]into level and not I have to focus on what is the

[22:50]root cause and Islam tells me what the root cause is right

[22:53]Allah subhana Allah says the tower is the root cause meaning following

[22:59]our women right Allah Allah says well Al hawa for you well

[23:06]you can say will Allah do not follow your whims because it

[23:08]will cause you to deviate to do not follow your winds because

[23:13]it will cause you to deviate from the way of Allah right

[23:15]so then what I have to do is be mindful of all

[23:19]those things that caused me to fall into my whims that means

[23:22]that I have to first and foremost understand myself right my weaknesses

[23:27]imam ali salam ala aalihi says it beautifully he says men are

[23:33]tough enough said Allah followed back that if you know yourself then

[23:36]you will know your Lord when we did the self contemplation and

[23:39]self-actualization we came to the reality that the that the Creator actually

[23:44]exists right and since the Creator exists then we were able to

[23:48]prove that he is unlimited and we were able to prove that

[23:52]he's all perfect and all purposeful and therefore we have purpose look

[23:55]at all these realities we were able to to to get to

[24:00]because of the fact that we look deep into ourselves to see

[24:02]where we fit into this this world once we realize that then

[24:07]we are able to be serious about life right to recognize that

[24:11]this life is all about achieving goals that are connected to gratitude

[24:19]to Allah and appreciation right so once I understand this what ends

[24:24]up happening is I ask my lord I say well why did

[24:28]you create me right so the Quran tells me clearly Allah says

[24:30]no Ali I will do I did not create general men except

[24:36]that they may worship me and you worship allah subhanaw taala as

[24:39]the sign of gratitude right and we already established that logically but

[24:44]allah subhanaw taala tells us that that's exactly why i created you

[24:49]and now he gives us things meaning islamic laws for us to

[24:53]follow in order to chief the full purpose of life and we

[24:56]can only achieve partial goals by realizing yes emulating Allah how he

[25:01]treats everyone that's how it should be right and dedicating my faculties

[25:07]to him but then how do I dedicate and what is the

[25:09]best way to do things that's what I need the legislation for

[25:13]allah subhanaw taala then wants me to understand why I was brought

[25:17]here right Allah says Allah d.holic on motor well my answer Leigha

[25:21]blue akamai you Kumasi nomina and we came to that logical conclusion

[25:26]to that allah subhanaw taala brought us to this world to test

[25:28]us to see which of us has more righteous than his deeds

[25:30]because the one who is more righteous in his deeds right shows

[25:35]a greater manifestation of their belief in allah subhana Dada which means

[25:39]a greater appreciation of Allah as a result and therefore he will

[25:41]receive the greater reward we also know that allah subhanaw taala sets

[25:49]a standard for who would be more endeared to him think about

[25:53]it some the more I love Allah the more I will dedicate

[25:56]myself to him the more I appreciate Allah the more I will

[26:02]dedicate myself to him the more I appreciate Allah the more I

[26:07]will I will exactly the more I appreciate a lot the more

[26:11]I will know his presence in my life the more I will

[26:16]feel his presence of my life the more I will act on

[26:18]that feeling of knowing his presence in my life I don't just

[26:23]feel it this feeling comes from an intellectual process right once I

[26:28]realize that then I monitor myself because I know a lot as

[26:31]monitoring me so by priority what happens is exactly like when I'm

[26:37]at a traffic light and I know that there's a camera there

[26:40]I'm extra cautious on extra careful right I make sure that I

[26:46]follow the law just as if a cop car was behind me

[26:47]as I'm driving right I make sure I maintain my speed limit

[26:51]okay there is no point that a loss of hano tiara in

[26:56]my life leaves like that car the police car leaves so that

[26:58]I can then go back to being heedless there's no point in

[27:01]my life that there isn't a camera where allah subhanaw taala is

[27:04]not watching me right Allah is watching me at all times and

[27:07]therefore there's no room for heedlessness there's no time to waste Allah

[27:12]subhana Allah says look there's only one standard that I look at

[27:17]I don't look at your ethnicity whether you're from Africa or Europe

[27:21]or America or you know Asia I look at one standard allah

[27:25]subhanaw taala says that standard stuff one he says in that trauma

[27:31]command the lieth cochran the most the most gracious in the eyes

[27:37]of allah he says are those who are most aware of my

[27:41]presence and act upon it meaning those who are more respectful and

[27:47]most respectful of me that's what that was that was to respect

[27:52]a law in our lives imagine for example with our parents right

[27:56]when we know our parents are sitting we're extra polite when we

[28:01]know that our parents even aren't there but this wouldn't make them

[28:04]feel happy right any an action that we may do what happens

[28:06]we make sure that we have self-respect our parents teach us to

[28:11]be dignified in to have self-respect and we know that one of

[28:14]the driving factors for that is the fact that you know I

[28:18]feel that sense of obligation to pleasing my parents and to representing

[28:22]them well and really with every action that we do if we

[28:25]look at things that way that we're respecting Allah and then my

[28:29]action is a reflection of the level of respect that I have

[28:32]for Allah subhana Allah then it becomes humbling any time I think

[28:36]about even partaking in an action that may be deemed disrespectful to

[28:42]a loss of hang on to Allah right including jumping out of

[28:45]an airplane senselessly or bungee jumping senselessly right or going out with

[28:50]friends and spending time in vain talk right as opposed to talking

[28:53]about a debate talking about ways to improve society to help those

[28:59]who are oppressed to help the needy right because really that's what

[29:03]we're here for allah subhanaw taala says look in order for you

[29:09]to understand this you have to have a specific mindset and that

[29:16]mindset has to be always that you know this could be your

[29:19]last breath isn't that what um peterson said right he said that

[29:23]think of things always in the mindset that you know tomorrow's your

[29:30]last day right the imminent death our principle or rule so that's

[29:36]what Islam actually teaches us it says that seek refuge in patience

[29:40]or fasting and prayer and surely it is difficult except for those

[29:44]who are who have presence of heart who are God conscious who

[29:48]are they those are the ones who believe that they are from

[29:50]Allah on the tree they shall return what's that I know but

[29:54]somebody else allow a man like a Puritan Allah Allah D nailed

[29:58]or no net no Munna for a p101 naminé here on your

[30:02]own so these are the ones who have the right mindset and

[30:05]that's the mindset the mindset of eminent of imminent death right is

[30:10]exactly the mindset that we're and now Allah is literally forced it

[30:14]upon us so that we wake up we wake up from our

[30:18]heedlessness so that we see the reality of the of our lives

[30:22]we recognized what we missed in opportunities and we understand that tomorrow

[30:26]may never come and that we live in the now and understand

[30:30]that today and right now I must do the righteous feeds I

[30:32]must give in charity I must help those who are in need

[30:36]I must reject oppression and help those who are oppressed right no

[30:43]longer will I be silent about in Justices no longer will I

[30:47]accept mediocrity for surely mediocrity means just sitting back and waiting for

[30:53]things to happen by I don't want to live a mediocre life

[30:58]so how do I not live a mediocre life by divine standards

[31:01]allah subhanaw taala he tells me he says look first and foremost

[31:08]a lot establishes that we have we have a choice in everything

[31:12]that we do he says in solitude and signing says in naka

[31:16]de nom sabina and massacre on one mantra for okay that's number

[31:20]one now to me which means surely regarded him to the straight

[31:23]path either he chooses to following me thankful and grateful or he

[31:26]chooses to veer off the path and deviates and be unthankful and

[31:30]disbelieving then allah subhanaw taala says in the chapter of an aside

[31:36]chapter 4 verse 136 he says yeah you are letting Amon I'm

[31:37]a noob Allah he will say o you who believe I want

[31:41]you to believe in Allah and His Messenger right well kitab and

[31:45]his book and his holy book and living in a Salah allah

[31:49]rasool allah that he revealed unto his messenger well kitab allah d-10

[31:54]and puppey and the book that was revealed before warming up for

[31:57]will lie and he who disbelieves in Allah subhanAllah Malaika T and

[32:01]his angels were caught to be and his books water Sri and

[32:06]his messengers were the omen asked her and the day of judgment

[32:09]for her blog Allah and by either for he has feared and

[32:11]deviated really far so now we understand the deviation really comes from

[32:16]disbelief in all these things so we understand that's the root problem

[32:22]and that Iman really is the solution so I was first and

[32:25]foremost ask Allah subhana Allah to help me gain Iman so I

[32:29]do what any mother tells me to do he says ask a

[32:30]lion don't macadam enough beautiful taught to recite in this holy month

[32:36]he says Allah mobility man yet when le monde oh allah left

[32:39]my level of faith reach its highest levels which are the opinion

[32:42]of alia came and left my certitude my certainty in you reach

[32:50]its highest of levels as well so he says allah mobility money

[32:52]at when Iman were Charlie opinion of literally Aquino Antonia t Dasom

[32:56]Nia or the Ahmadiyya Naaman and make my near the best of

[32:59]intentions and make my actions follow shoot right to be the best

[33:07]of actions so then my a man has and my certainty translates

[33:09]into good deeds you see and a good deed doesn't start with

[33:15]our I mean it has to start with an E and now

[33:18]I'm a little abhinaya to Prophet Muhammad says that there's no action

[33:22]without the intention to do that action I need a good team

[33:27]around me right I need a team of strong pious believers who

[33:30]are going to help me to do good Allah says otherwise you

[33:35]want to be in a state of loss in the chapter of

[33:39]lost of allah subhanaw taala says you need a group that help

[33:41]you tell also will help you a colossal sub that help you

[33:45]that help remind you you know about the truth that you're only

[33:47]here for a limited time don't waste your time like I'm doing

[33:50]things that aren't going to bring you closer to Allah don't waste

[33:54]your time playing in entertainment and and if you're bored then you're

[33:58]not doing the right thing you're not remembering Allah Subhan Allah come

[34:00]on let's go to the mosque come on let's go help our

[34:03]neighbors come on let's see and seek out opportunities to help the

[34:08]elderly right that's what I mean we need to be doing we

[34:10]need to literally be searching out for those searching out those who

[34:16]are in need an imam and ibaka said i Malayalee he describes

[34:18]that if we're not like this what ends up happening is we

[34:23]end up being like the silk one he says method or Harry

[34:25]solid dunya method who do that help us he says the example

[34:30]of a person who is only mindful of this dunya only wants

[34:34]what is within this limited world he says his example is similar

[34:41]to that of this so corn kernel amaz dad that when al

[34:44]Kassadin FC ha la femme Cana Oh God nominal Haru jihad Tata

[34:51]muta Rama he says the more that it would you know be

[34:53]beguiled by this world and imagine the silkworm the more it wraps

[35:00]silk around itself the harder it is to come out of the

[35:02]silk and the and the more likely it is to be strangled

[35:07]and to die and as a result of it right so what

[35:10]ends up happening is we ended up strangling ourselves right with with

[35:16]entertainment and time wasting and losing out we end up spending time

[35:19]in quantity as opposed to quality as Peterson said but this remember

[35:23]Peterson only died recently right modern psychology has only discovered this recently

[35:30]we in Islam have had this from 1400 years ago our Imams

[35:34]our holy book was revealed to tell us these and they explained

[35:39]to us how to get to everyone and allah subhanaw taala doesn't

[35:42]leave it up to chance so before we go into the verses

[35:47]that help us understand how to be a believer in in my

[35:49]mind he said I'm a lolly he says it beautifully to tell

[35:53]us you know what is the result of us wasting our time

[36:00]he says look Cheryl Cheryl Malloy ya feelin alive says look the

[36:03]worst thing that you can do the most evil thing that you

[36:05]could do with your life with your lifespan here's what is suspended

[36:11]in plane and entertainment he also says leader allow the inoculum to

[36:20]Aqaba 'then Vitello he says look just divorce leave this idea of

[36:29]spending your time right in distractions right he says for surely we

[36:37]were not created for distraction meaning that and he uses the words

[36:42]out the word a bathin which means purposeless distractions right he says

[36:48]you weren't created purpose without purpose so that you spend that time

[36:52]distracting yourself right trying to fill that void with entertainment he says

[36:58]well I'm to attraction then fatale ooh he says and you weren't

[37:04]left without guidance right so that you can live your life and

[37:06]vanity now how is it that I can achieve then and what

[37:11]is it that should be on my quote/unquote bucket list allah subhanaw

[37:14]taala in the chapter in what we know and he says it

[37:18]beautifully is that's got that flat mom you know he says look

[37:19]successful are the believers that's what we want we want success in

[37:21]this life right we want a task list that makes us successful

[37:27]socially as well as personally as well as in the hereafter right

[37:31]that's the whole goal in Islam tells us this beautifully 1400 years

[37:37]ago it gives us a list says listen your goal is to

[37:39]be a believer in Allah believers in allah do the following he

[37:42]says Allah Dina who fears Allah I am harsh on those are

[37:47]the ones who and their prayers they are God conscious that's number

[37:50]one - he says well those are the ones that don't partake

[37:56]in vanity they don't partake in vain glory they don't partake in

[37:59]doing things without a purpose whether it's in talking or in action

[38:02]or in deeds well lady norm is a cat if I know

[38:06]those are the ones who are socially responsible and know that in

[38:09]their wealth there is a portion that specifically needs to be given

[38:12]to those who are in need and then he says you number

[38:20]four he says well Latino before Jim perfect their private parts our

[38:23]private parts are there for a purpose to be used in a

[38:27]way that allows them wants us to use them to procreate the

[38:31]Halal way right tab good decent God loving children right and to

[38:34]be able to to fulfill whatever desires that we have but with

[38:37]our spouse right Allah Allah Allah Allah says except when it comes

[38:42]to their to their spouses allah subhanaw taala says that that's halal

[38:46]further Oh mommy look at a man one phenomenal man you mean

[38:49]that he says and those that don't do so feminine delicate like

[38:56]him those who don't um safeguard their privates those are considered the

[38:59]enemies of Allah all right and then he says well Medina holy

[39:04]Amana team number five those are the ones who keep their covenants

[39:07]and promises and when they're entrusted with something they're they are trustworthy

[39:11]and finally he says well Adina whom Allah Jalla WA team you

[39:16]have it he says no other those are the ones who make

[39:19]sure that they and pray on time make sure that they're mindful

[39:25]that they schedule everything around their prayer thing because your prayer is

[39:30]your meeting with Allah it is what centers you during that day

[39:34]right it is what centers us during the thing now if we

[39:36]understand this then what ends up happening is we realize then that

[39:43]allah subhanaw taala truly has not left us to them right allah

[39:47]subhanaw taala has given us purpose he's giving us our own bucket

[39:50]list of what we should do and we should follow it we

[39:53]ask allah subhanaw taala to accept what little we offer in this

[39:56]holy month for surely he's given us the ability to achieve many

[40:01]goals in this month right we make dua for him we raise

[40:03]our hands to him and we say o Allah make us as

[40:05]you want to be not as we want to be make us

[40:09]worthy servants of purchase or a Malayalee and let us only live

[40:11]meaningful lives let us focus on quality Allah and not quantity so

[40:19]that we can be a great reflection of a true worshipers that

[40:23]you and you alone wants us to be we ask that allah

[40:28]subhanaw taala bestows health upon the sick but Allah repays the deaths

[40:31]of all those in death but Allah removes the oppression all those

[40:34]who are oppressed that allah subhanaw taala returns all those who are

[40:37]estranged to their families and releases all of the innocent prisoners we

[40:42]ask that allah subhanaw taala bestows his mercy upon our dearly departed

[40:45]that he supports all those that have made programs like this pascal
