			As many of you can see, I'm in the darkness, there's a light shining on me, you automatically think
that I'm alone.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:01:09
			There are times in our life where we need to be alone on purpose. But for what purpose, for the sake
of Allah subhana wa tada to have undivided attention. The one that is mindful of Allah puts
themselves in situations to be mindful of Allah. When we realize in Islam, there is something called
a calf, where the prophets of Allah and they will send them would make a spiritual retreat
individually by himself in the mosque for 10 days, to make sure that he is fulfilling the worship of
Allah in different manifestations, saying his name, repeating his name, reading the Koran praying
and just having to double and difficult to ponder and think that is what I recommend for you all.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:42
			And that is one of the characteristics of the mindful people, that they have what is known as a
tool, a bad tool in the chapter one Muslim men were lots of data with data addresses the Prophet
peace and blessings be upon him when he received the revelation of Ecuador. And he rushed hurriedly
to his wife Khadija, his best friend, and he laid in her lap told her some lumizyme Maloney, Allah,
Allah revealed the chapter. Yeah, you heard muslimeen Oh, the one covered in garments stand at a
portion of the night. In later verses, he says,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:57
			was called is by Rob Baker. What's her bed tell la he Tabby Tila, remember the name of your Lord and
seek devotion to him wholeheartedly. So it's a bit too who will in Qatar later rebranded
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:27
			but will it is having undivided attention and seclusion to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala. Now even
Okay, in some kind of law here, he mentions that this Tibet will lay a coma in lavish shaking. And
in Qatar, well, in will it dissolve. He said it doesn't happen except with two things an invisible
will it is on separation, and connection, separation, and connection. What is the separation? Even
OPM says who will
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:37
			be here and have all the nuts it is the separation of the heart from the things in which it desires
for other than a law
		
00:02:38 --> 00:03:24
			to separate oneself from that too fast from their phone, if need be, to turn your phone off to where
you will not have any distractions, to be in a situation to where you are alone. And you start to
think about life, you start to think about the good that you have been given. And the bad that you
have done, the things that you have done that have not been been beneficial for you in this life.
And ultimately in the next one it is on and it is connecting with Allah. So when you are alone, do
not think about frivolous things that don't benefit you think about those things, but always
connected to an attribute of Allah, that further engages your connection and concentration and
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:56
			relationship with Allah subhanho wa Taala. So the manners of the mindful person is that they
voluntarily seclude themselves to remember the one that created them. And that is a characteristic
of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And with that, we see the person that becomes mindful and
what tucky when that knows and thinks about life, for what it really is worth. May Allah bless you
all a cinematic camera tool, I better get it. Thank you
