World Health Organization reality that this is not
the relationship for you.
You are living in a relationship as if
this is a dream that is supposed to
come true, not a reality that you are
already living.
And that is why a couple will have
been married for 40 years and the wife
will simply say, yes, it will change, it
will change, it will change.
After 40 years, she'll be like, yes, it
will change.
After 40 years, he also will be like,
yes, and my wife, she will see change.
She will soon change.
The reason why people do that is because,
Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar, is because
they are living in dreams.
You are still fantasizing about what you want
to see happen.
And you thought you would actually press pause
on life so that you remain on a
spot.
Life will not be happening and things will
continue in that dream state of yours.
I have a dream that one day my
husband will show love and affection.
I have a dream that one day my
husband will begin to smile more.
I have a dream that one day my
wife is going to be the loving and
caring woman of my dream.
And some people live dreams far too much.
And these dreams are already becoming nightmares for
them.
These are bad dreams that you are living.
The realities have turned that dream into nightmares
for you.
Your whole of your life has turned to
a horror movie because you are not ready
to accept the realities of what is happening
now.
This man, this man is a womanizer.
But you have a dream of a man
that is loyal and affectionate towards you.
And then you continue to live that dream
continuously while this man continues in infidelity.
It happens the other way around.
This man is a wife beater.
But you still have that dream that someday
you get to have a husband that will
come back from work and give you a
hug.
But he is still a wife beater.
And you are still living in that dream
that he is going to be a better
person.
Whereas your reality is that you are being
abused and that you are being oppressed.
When you are like this, I think it
is time you get to wake up from
that dream and begin to accept the realities
of life.
Is this you?
You are addicted to men and women and
you are addicted to emotional pain.
Let me mention this to you.
Are you the one that is living an
addictive life?
You know what an addictive life is?
An addiction is when you continuously and perpetually
go into a kind of relationship.
Let me use relationship as an example.
Either with a human being or with a
drug.
And you know that this is hurting you,
this is harming you, yet you persist in
staying in it.
It means you are so addicted to these
things.
Many couples now, they are not in love.
They are only addicted to that marriage.
You use your obsession with your husband or
with your wife.
You love to avoid your pain.
You love to avoid your emptiness.
You love to avoid your fear and anger.
And then you now use your relationship as
a drug to avoid experiencing what you feel
if you held still with yourself.
If you focus on yourself, you will see
that you are going to face a lot
of emptiness.
So you use your relationship, you use your
marriage to be able to cover up that
emptiness in yourself.
That is when we say you are addicted
to your relationship.
Are you that kind of person who is
only living a life of addiction to a
particular woman or a particular man?
Not love.
Obsession and addiction to things that are harming
you.
Obsession and addiction to things that are hurting
you.
To men or women that do not care
whether you exist or whether you die.
You get so addicted to the extent that
a small withdrawal, the way drug addicts experience
emotional symptoms and physical symptoms of withdrawal after
they have left that drug for a while.
You see a whole lot of nausea, a
whole lot of sweating, a whole lot of
shaking, a whole lot of pacing, obsessive thinking,
depression, inability to sleep, panic attacks and anxiety
attacks.
These are some of the things people who
have been into drugs, this is what they
experience.
But when you experience a withdrawal from that
relationship, you feel these exact things.
That means that relationship is an addiction.
When your husband or your wife is away
from you for a while, you are not
supposed to go into panic attack.
You are not supposed to go into nausea.
You are not supposed to go into sleeplessness.
You may have some longing for each other
to reunite and to be together.
But know that it is going to be
so destructive to the extent that you cannot
live, you cannot survive, you cannot exist without
one another.
That is not love, that is obsession, that
is addiction.
Are you this kind of person that is
so addicted that Allah Akbar?
The moment, as a man, the moment you
leave that relationship eventually, maybe the woman eventually
even left you by herself.
Suddenly, you get into panic attacks and you
find your ways to return back to that
same abusive relationship.
Or you are desperately in need to seek
a new one that is in no way
different from the one that you left or
the one that left you.
Are you that person?
Is this who you are?
We are going to talk about how you
can fix yourself as you move ahead.
By being drawn to people, this is another
person now.
I want to know if it is you.
Are you always drawn to people with problems
that need fixing?
Or being enmeshed in situations that are chaotic,
uncertain and emotionally painful?
Do you keep from focusing on your responsibility
to yourself but you are drawn to situations
and circumstances that always put you on edge?
This is what I mean by this.
While you are very good at intuiting what
someone else feels or trying to figure out
what someone else needs or should, you are
not in touch with your own feelings and
you are not able to make wise decisions
about important aspects of your life that troubles
you.
In other words, you are embroiled in drama.
You are embroiled in problems that keep you
from having to hold still and find out
what exactly you want with your life.
And this is why you cannot survive in
a relationship that doesn't have problems.
Many men cannot survive with a woman that
doesn't give him trouble.
If he sees a woman that will not
give him trouble, he will not be in
love with her or he will send her
away.
Because he has problems with his life, he
cannot focus on his life.
So he looks for problems to focus on.
He looks for troubled people to focus on.
If it were a woman, she looks for
a man that will constantly put her on
edge.
She will not stay with a man that
will give her rest of mind.
But a man that should be looking at
the watch every time, looking at the clock,
is he coming back?
When will he come back?
Who is he talking to?
Who is he chatting with?
What's on his phone?
Who just called him now?
Who did he just speak with?
At the end of the day, you have
no life.
You don't want to focus on yourself.
You want to be monitoring your husband.
You want to be checking out why his
friends, what clothes did he wear, what perfume
did he use in the morning, and what
perfume is smelling on him by the time
he returns.
You want to see how crumpled his dress
is.
He ironed it right away in the morning.
Why is it so squeezed now that he
comes back?
When he came back, where did he frown?
Why did he smile?
Why was he looking like that?
Why did he look angry?
Why did he look sad?
You are studying his face the way you
study a holy book.
You are editing his words the way you
value the words of God.
You have focused the whole of your existence
on him.
You can't survive, you can't exist, you can't
think, you can't function without his problems.
And so, you don't have a life.
The whole of your life is on him.
Are you this person who doesn't have a
life anymore?
Who doesn't have a goal anymore?
Who doesn't have anything to look forward to
in life except to read the countenance of
your wife?
When she is sad, you are sad.
When she is weak, you are weak.
When she is laughing, then you can laugh.
When she frowns, then you must frown.
When she is confused, then you must be
confused.
When she is angry, then you should be
angry too.
When she is disturbed, then you must be
disturbed.
At the end of it all, you don't
know the difference between your life and his
life.
You don't know the difference, the line between
him and you.
Between her and yourself.
You have subsumed yourself.
You have thrown away who you are.
You focused only on him, not on yourself.
And at the end of it all, you
begin to wither.
You begin to fall sick.
You begin to deteriorate.
You lose your value.
You lose your esteem.
You lose your beauty.
You lose the step.
You lose the verve.
You lose the air.
You lose the energy.
You lose the goodness.
And you lose your self-esteem.
Because you don't want to look at your
own life.
You don't see anything worthy or valuable in
your life.
Apart from the life of your partner.
At the end of it all, the same
person that you have devoted the whole of
your life, will now turn around and accuse
you of being a leech.
Accuse you of being a parasite.
Accuse you of somebody who doesn't have a
life.
Accuse you of somebody who has a low
self-esteem.
And this same person will begin to avoid
you.
And this same person will begin to abandon
you.
And this same person will begin to prefer
somebody else apart from you.
When you chase something, it runs away from
you.
Rather than you attract your spouse, you actually
repel your spouse.
Rather than for you to have a life
that you can value and look forward to,
you have jettisoned your own life.
And you are chasing and running after his
own life.
You want to care for him.
You want to think about how he looks.
You want to think about everything.
You even want to start thinking for him.
And thinking on his behalf.
Then he starts looking at you as someone
who is thoughtless and stupid.
And then when you are stabbed in the
back, where instead of being appreciated, you are
condemned.
Instead of being praised as a loving and
caring wife, you are condemned as a stupid
and a leech.
A woman who doesn't have any purpose in
life.
Then you feel bad.
You feel sad.
You feel betrayed.
You feel left behind.
And you feel depressed.
That people have treated you so badly.
Because you never for once worked on your
own value.
And made your own life to be better.
Rather than attract your spouse now, you repel
your spouse.
Now look at it now.
Are you somebody?
Before I begin to talk about how you
can recover from this, I want to put
it all together to say, are you somebody
who is not attracted to men or women
who are kind?
Who are stable?
People who are reliable?
People who are interested in you?
When you find such nice people to be
boring, when you find such nice men to
be boring, or nice women to be boring,
then you begin to look for people that
you can fix.
When you see that you can't fix this
man, you don't want to love him.
This is very subliminal.
Many people don't know that this is their
problem.
In fact, when a man speaks to them
about marriage, and they look at him from
north to south, and they wonder, what can
I actually repair in this man?
He is so good.
He is so kind.
He is so nice.
He has things going in his life.
He doesn't womanize.
He doesn't smoke.
He doesn't do drugs.
He is so nice.
He is so good.
He is so kind.
He is so complete.
Then somewhere inside your head, you say you
don't have chemistry.
Something inside your head tells you that you
don't have chemistry.
But you prefer a man that doesn't pre
-regulate.
You say, yes, Inshallah, I will change him.
You prefer a man who doesn't understand science.
You say, yes, Inshallah, I will teach him.
You prefer a man who doesn't know anything
about rationality.
You say, yes, as soon as he marries
me, I know what to do.
You keep looking for people you can fix.
And when they don't appear to be fixable,
you turn your back against them.
It happens to men, too.
You will see ladies who are modest.
Ladies who are upright.
Ladies who are nice.
Who are kind.
Respectable.
Obedient.
Godly.
You will not be in love with them.
A lady that will say please before anything.
A lady that will receive one penny and
she will say thank you ten times.
A lady that will smile.
A lady that will be kind.
A lady that will be caring.
You will not be in love with her.
His chemistry will not go there.
Or you prefer a lady that will put
him on edge.
A lady that will be talking to him
and chatting with other men.
A lady that will make him to feel
jealous.
A lady that will make him feel miserable.
A lady that will tell him that he
should go to *.
That is the kind of lady you want.
Is that you?
Is that you?
Now, whether you know it is you or
not, Haven't you seen men who have these
ladies with all these qualities.
They say maltreat them.
They say abuse them.
They say beat them up.
You are beating a woman and she is
on her knees begging you.
Allah Akbar Kabira.
You are maltreating a woman and she will
still come to kneel down to beg you
that she is sorry.
Even when you are not maltreating her.
Are you that kind of a person?
I know you are that kind of a
person.
Because unfortunately, you will not marry somebody like
you.
Have you noticed?
Cruel men don't marry cruel ladies.
Have you noticed?
Wicked men don't marry wicked ladies that will
give them fire for fire.
Have you noticed?
These men marry ladies that they will slap
her and she will turn the other cheek.
But they will not marry ladies that will
say, Look, if you ever raise your hand
against me, you will sleep in cell tonight.
If you don't go to cell to prison
this night, call me a bastard.
No, you will not marry that kind of
a lady.
Are you that kind of a woman too?
When after all is said and done, It
is exactly this kind of man that you
are in love with.
A man that will rubbish you.
A man that you will greet and you
will haste to respond.
A man that you will be praying for,
that Allah will help you to change.
Allah Akbar.
May Allah help my son also.
Now, if this is you, Let me mention
some hints on how you can recover from
this kind of life that you found yourself.
Number one, accept yourself fully.
Even when you want to change parts of
yourself, Make sure you have accepted yourself completely
as you are.
There is a basic self-love and self
-regard which you should carefully nurture and which
you should purposely expand.
You must love yourself.
You must accept yourself.
You may not be the most beautiful person
in this world.
You may not be the most good-looking
man in the world.
But ensure that you accept yourself first and
foremost.
Secondly, accept others as they are without trying
to change them to meet your needs.
Stop managing people.
Stop controlling people.
Allow people to take responsibility for their lives
and their actions.
Stop managing disasters.
Stop managing disasters that you call wives.
Stop managing disasters that you call husbands.
Allow people to face the consequences of their
actions.
Or else they would never learn from their
mistakes.
You have to realize that sometimes it is
not your troublesome spouse that is not the
right person for you.
You might not be the right person for
him.
You want me to say that again?
This is what I was explaining earlier on.
You have to understand that it is not
that this man is not the right man
for you.
It is possible that you are not the
right woman for him.
Why?
Because he needs somebody that is as sadistic
as he is.
Not a messenger like you.
He needs a partner, not a fixer.
He needs somebody that can look him in
the face and tell him the truth.
Not somebody that will apologize even when she
is being oppressed.
Maybe this husband actually needs a wife that
will tell him to go to * once
in a while.
Not somebody like you that will be asking
him whether if you go to * he
will be happy.
This woman actually needs a man with iron
hand that can control her.
Not a man that will be at the
receiving end.
That will tolerate indolence.
That will tolerate nonsense.
Not a man that will indulge her.
Not a man that will not be able
to control her.
Some women want a man that will tell
her to sit down.
And she will sit down.
Some women want men that will be able
to take charge of things.
Not Mr. Nice Man that can't do anything.
Your wife may need a man that can
handle her.
You may be complaining that your wife is
arrogant because she is rich.
It's possible that your wife actually needs a
man that is richer than her.
And a man that can control her and
take charge of the home.
Not a man that will be at the
receiving end.
Not a man that will be jealous and
envious of the wife's progress.
Not a man that will be cowed and
afraid that the wife is progressing.
Not a man that will be jealous and
envious such that he will be working against
the wife.
You are not the right man for her.
If this woman wants to go, allow her
to go and marry somebody else who can
take charge of life for her.
A man that has the mind, that has
the mouth, that has the gut, that has
the power, that has the ability to be
able to put her through in her businesses.
Not a man that will stop her from
doing business because you are afraid that when
she gets rich, you will not be able
to control her again.
People should understand this.
Is this you that is feeling so low
with your wife?
That means she needs somebody else that should
be her.
Rather than bringing her down to be low
like you, why don't you pep yourself up
and meet up with her?
Does anybody understand what we are saying?
You have to realize that you have to
be in touch with your feelings and attitudes
about every aspect of your life.
Including your dignity as a human being.
Maintaining your dignity and self-respect is non
-negotiable.
You must understand that.
You have to cherish every aspect of yourself.
Cherish your personality.
Cherish your appearance.
Cherish your beliefs.
Cherish your value system.
Appreciate and accept your body as you are.
Cherish your interests.
Cherish your accomplishments.
Validate yourself.
Rather than searching for a relationship to give
you a sense of worth, make yourself to
be worthy.
Like we said the other time, if you
don't know your worth, people will ask for
discounts.
Yes, if you don't know how to cherish
yourself, people will treat you like a trash.
Regardless of who you marry, you should understand
that you also have a right to be
respected as a human being.
Your self-esteem is great enough that you
can enjoy.
And so, enjoy your self-esteem.
You don't need to be with other people
before you have your self-esteem.
Some people are fine just as they are.
You don't need to be needed in order
to feel worthy.
It's not until you are able to render
services to others before you understand that you
are actually worthy.
It's not until when people say thank you
before you know that you have done what
is right.
It's not until when somebody appreciates you before
you know that you are a good person.
It's not until when somebody compliments you before
you know that you are good-looking enough.
It's not until when somebody appreciates you before
you dress well for yourself.
Even when somebody doesn't see you.
Even when somebody pretends not to have seen
you.
I know of some ladies.
They would dress and make all these designs
you men put in your hands.
And they would go around in the house,
you know, waving their hands like this towards
their husbands.
So that you can see these designs and
for once say, oh, that is lovely.
Yes, but this man will not say anything.
He will not see anything.
He will not compliment anything.
Many of the ladies, they will spend four
hours with their necks tilted to one side,
plaiting their hair.
Fixing their hair.
Four hours.
Her neck will be like that.
She will fall asleep.
She will wake up with headache while her
hair is being fixed.
Only for her to get home, remove hijab
and begin to do imaginary ruku.
So that the husband can see.
So that the husband can notice very well.
This man doesn't see anything.
So what are you going to do?
Because he doesn't see anything, would that make
you not to feel good with yourself?
Look into the mirror and say, Alhamdulillah.
Oh Allah, I thank you for the way
you have made me.
What manner of life is this?
What kind of a thing is this?
A man will do well, wear perfume, dress
nice, inside the house, move around.
But the wife will get stuck in the
kitchen.
As if that's where she was born.
She gets stuck in the kitchen.
She doesn't see the husband.
She doesn't compliment him.
She doesn't recognize him.
Is that why you will not feel good
with yourself?
You have to understand that you have dignity.
And you don't need somebody to tell you
that you are worthy.
Before you accept you are actually a worthy
person.
Allow yourself to be open and trusting with
appropriate people.
Normal people.
Not crazy individuals.
In the name of your husband or in
the name of your wife.
You are not afraid to be known at
a deeply personal level.
Don't hide your emotions from people.
Because you think they will not appreciate it.
But you also do not expose yourself to
the exploitation of those who are not interested
in your well-being.
Like I always say, never take your mirror
to the market of blind people.
They will never appreciate it because they don't
even talk less of knowing what a mirror
is.
Respect yourself.
Respect yourself very well.
And appreciate yourself on the deep level.
Courageously.
This is another thing you should do to
fix yourself.
Courageously face your own problems and your shortcomings.
Look hard at your own life.
Stop blaming others for your unhappiness and your
misery.
While denying your own faults and wrong choices.
Most of the time.
When you see a man wallowing in regrets.
Wallowing in regrets.
Oh God, why did I marry this woman?
Oh God, why is this woman like this?
Oh, why am I like this?
Why did I do this?
Blaming the woman for not making him happy.
Blaming the woman for being such a bitch.
Why don't you just wake up one day
that that was your choice?
Why don't you just accept for once that
it's your mistake?
Stop managing mistakes.
If it's a mistake, the first step for
you to realize a way out.
Or to realize what to do about it
is to accept that this is your mistake.
Don't blame anybody.
In life, the more you continue to blame
others.
The more you continue to refuse to accept
where you are wrong.
When you know that you are the one
that has sold yourself cheap to the other
person.
You stop blaming that person for pricing you
cheap.
When you realize that you are the one
that actually doesn't have any value attached to
yourself.
It is then you realize that you don't
need to blame the other person for treating
you like you are valueless.
I mentioned the other time.
When somebody complained.
A man actually, this time around, complained that
his wife used to beat him.
Honestly, he said it to me.
He said, she beats me sometimes.
She beats me sometimes.
She beats me sometimes.
Honestly, it was that.
Because he says sometimes, sometimes a lot.
I know she beats me a lot.
Did you listen?
He said she beats me sometimes, about three
times.
Affirmatively, she beats me sometimes.
She beats me sometimes.
It means she beats him a lot.
And she beats him very well.
You know, the default setting is, Ah, that's
a bad woman.
Why should she do that?
Why should she do that?
But the question I normally ask is, What
kind of a man gets beaten by a
woman?
What kind of a man gets beaten?
How you take position of your cheek when
she takes slap you?
How did you show your cheek that made
her to slap you?
What kind of a man are you?
That the woman would look at you, not
to slap you.
How did you present yourself?
What kind of a man have you always
been?
And for such men, I always blame them.
It's your choice.
Yes.
There's absolutely no secret.
It's just this low self esteem.
It's just these wrong choices that people make
and they don't want to accept.
You want to rather blame the woman for
slapping him.
He doesn't want to accept responsibility that is
the weakest of all men ever.
He doesn't want to work on himself.
So that the wife would not be able
to do that.
What kind of a man gets beaten up
by his wife?
And what kind of a wife beats a
man?
May Allah have mercy on us.
You should ask yourself, if this is you.
You should ask yourself, is this relationship good
for you?
Does it enable you to grow into all
you are capable of being?
You should expect, you should require, and sometimes
you should demand.
That situations and marriage be comfortable for you.
It is your right.
You do not try to adapt yourself to
fit uncomfortable relationships.
Do you understand what I mean?
Yes, you should demand that the marriage should
be comfortable for you.
Not that you should adapt yourself to fit
into an uncomfortable relationship.
And marriages are meant to be enjoyed.
You know I always say this.
Marriages are meant to be enjoyed, not endured.
There should be mutual interest, not mutual misery
in marriage.
We should both enjoy one another.
Not that you have to start managing and
enduring and suffering to fit yourself into a
marriage.
Rather, you should demand that the marriage should
be able to accommodate you.
Cultivate whatever needs to be cultivated.
Develop whatever needs to be developed in yourself.
Don't wait for her and don't wait for
him to change before you get on with
your life.
Switch the energy to focus on yourself and
expose what is good for your own growth.
Explore what is good for your own growth.
Learn to take better care of yourself.
Learn to say no to please yourself rather
than saying yes to please somebody else.
Stand up for yourself when you should.
Stand up for yourself when you would rather
pretend it doesn't matter.
No, stand up for yourself.
Take the item.
Go back to where you bought it and
ask for a refund.
Instead of throwing it away and saying after
all it was cheap.
Do you understand what I just said?
Yes, ask for what is yours.
Ask clearly for something you want and risk
being refused.
Ask first.
Even if you are not going to be
ascended to.
Even if you are not going to be
accepted, still ask first.
Then learn to give to yourself.
This is another thing you can do to
fix yourself.
Learn to give to yourself.
Give time to yourself.
Give attention to yourself.
Give material objects as gifts to yourself.
As a man, buy new clothes for yourself.
As a woman, when you go to bookshops
or when you go to boutiques, buy hijab
for yourself.
Buy things for yourself.
Even if somebody is not going to buy
it for you.
Put your well-being, put your desires, put
your work, put your play, put your plans,
put your activities first.
Put your goals instead of last.
Put yourself before instead of after everyone else.
This is one of the ways or these
are some of the ways through which you
can fix yourself.
And I pray almighty Allah is going to
make it easy for us.
And finally, if all of this I have
been saying is you.
Develop your spirituality.
Increase your faith.
And acquire more knowledge.
I am not saying that you should only
keep praying for a bad spouse to change.
But for some, some people have been praying
for a very long time.
They have told Allah, they have told God
what is wrong and what needs to be
fixed.
Yet, they are still miserable.
There are people like that.
Their husband will be doing what is wrong,
people will tell them to go and pray.
In fact, Allah Akbar.
Yes, for some people.
Their wives will be having boyfriends here and
there.
And they will tell him to be prayerful
so that the wife can change.
Yes.
Doesn't it sound funny?
They tell her, you have to be prayerful.
You have to be patient.
You have to pray.
And then look at this woman.
She will go out from morning, come back
late in the night.
And by 12 midnight, she is still texting
goodnight to the boyfriend.
And some of them will be beside their
husband.
They will be kissing the phone.
That's kissing their boyfriend's goodnight.
And when this man complains, people will say,
well, you have to be patient.
You know some women are like that.
And sometimes the women, she will be praying
and fasting because of a man that is
doing infidelity.
Rather than people to call the man to
caution, they will tell the woman to be
patient and be praying.
So you will pray and you will fast
till you have ulcer for the man that
is going around enjoying himself.
This is not what I mean by spirituality.
When I say a person should be spiritual,
it means that you should calm down and
don't carry the guilt of what is not
yours.
You should understand nobody is going to be
punished for another person's offense.
Nobody is going to be punished for another
person's sins.
Your spirituality is a source of strength in
crisis.
When feelings or circumstances are overwhelming, you need
a resource greater than yourself to which you
can turn.
And when I say spirituality, I mean you
should tie the camel and then trust in
almighty Allah.
Consult those who are going to talk to
the other person that you have.
Don't keep quiet and be oppressed without reporting
the errant person.
And when the errant person has refused to
change, don't let that one bring down your
own self-esteem.
If you are the one that is behaving
like the masochist and the saddest person is
always feeding and feasting on your misery and
trying to quench their thirst with your tears
as you cry out of being oppressed, you
need to make a change in yourself.
If this is you, then you should know
that you are not okay.
You are not okay when somebody is not
ready to make you an option and you
have made the person your choice.
You are not okay when you are being
treated less than a human being.
You are not okay when you are cowed
by the person who should love and care
for you.
You are not okay when you constantly live
in fear of the person you love and
care for.
You are not okay when you are always
taken for granted.
You are not okay when you love the
wrong person.
You are not okay when you show love
and care for the person who shows you
the opposite.
You are not okay when you have to
pray and pray for someone that is enjoying
himself oppressing you.
You are not okay when you stay in
an abusive relationship without doing anything about it.
You are not okay when you cannot demand
for what is rightly yours.
You are not okay when you cannot say
no when you really mean to say no.
May Allah make it easy for all of
us.
So if this is you, you should look
into yourself and see how you can change
yourself and see how you can regain yourself.
How you can put love back into your
life and how you can put life back
into your existence.
