			It has nothing to do with money, it
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			has nothing to do with status, it has
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			nothing to do with position, it has nothing
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
			to do with the wealth of the material
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			things.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:16
			How to utilize the power of positive thinking,
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			you know, in an Islamic perspective.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:22
			Subhanallah, we need to realize that we are
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26
			tend to incline towards negativity or we face
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			or encounter negativity.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			Every step of our life, subhanallah, we need
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			to make sure that how do we protect
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			and keep a shield between us and those
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:44
			negative thoughts and bring the positive energy, bring
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			the positive thinking into our minds.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			So, this is an ongoing struggle.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			So, I call it as a process.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			It is a process where you need to
		
00:00:54 --> 00:01:00
			ensure that you keep on struggling and striving
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			to be in a state of well-being
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			and that comes with a positive thinking.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			So, let us know what positive means.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:15
			You know, subhanallah, it is a desirable or
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			constructive quality or attribute.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:24
			So, obviously, positive or positivity, it demands something
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28
			which is constructive, something which is good, something
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			which is, which builds, you know, people and
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			things, subhanallah.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			So, this is positive.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			Thinking, the process or to consider or reason
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			something, this is thinking, you know.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			Subhanallah, this is something which we need to
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			understand because a lot of times we want
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			to be positive.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			Many people, they want to be positive but
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			they don't know how to actually trigger those
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			positive thoughts in their minds and they don't
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:01
			know or they are not aware of such
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:05
			ways and strategies, how they can actually be
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:10
			in an optimistic state, subhanallah, and that's the
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			state which we do not want to be.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:17
			But, unfortunately, because not knowing these realities and
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:21
			these strategies prescribed in Islam, we tend to
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:26
			be a person who gets into a trap
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			of this negativism, subhanallah.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			So, we need to answer this very clearly.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:35
			Why do we need to think positive?
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			Why?
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			Reason number one, it brings peace of mind,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:41
			subhanallah.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			We need to be positive in our thinking
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			because it brings peace of mind and this
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			is something which is seriously and sincerely lacking
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			in the minds or in the lives of
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			many people, subhanallah.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			And, subhanallah, it has nothing to do with
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			money, it has nothing to do with status,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			it has nothing to do with position, it
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			has nothing to do with the wealth of
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			the material things.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:15
			It is to do with your internal state
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			of being good, subhanallah.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:24
			So, being positive brings peace of mind.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			That is the reason we have to think
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			positive because if we think positive, we will
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			do things which are positive, we will say
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			things which are positive, which will lead us
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:40
			to positive outcome, inshallah, in this world and
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			in the hereafter.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			As Muslimin, as believers, we do not limit
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			our thinking only to this world.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			This is very, very important for us to
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:54
			remind ourselves that our thinking, our positive thinking
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			does not restrict to this world.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			It goes beyond this life which is the
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			hereafter, al-akhirah.
