			We do more before 7am than most people do all day, there's a slogan I used to always hear as a young
boy growing up in America, it was a commercial by the US Army, you know, saying that we do more, we
accomplish more before 7am The most people do all day. And I used to remember, as a young boy, I
would stop and be fascinated and watch this commercial on TV of the day training very hard early
morning. And then you know, the relaxing night with a cup of coffee at seven, you know,
accomplishing more than the civilians accomplish in their entire day in that short time in the
morning. And that was a Muslim and with the slogan still in my mind, but as a Muslim Now I'm

best he can be in this life. And in the next guess what a true Muslim is about striving to excel in
both worlds in this life and the next Subhanallah so if we wake up there early in the morning, I
said, Well, we can knock out a pm night prayer, we can knock out a workout like they're saying that
we got 430 workout Yeah, we were knocked out RPM first of all, then we knocked out a workout and
then we can you know, get our session in with our car and with the Quran. And then we go and pray
Fudger in the gym and hamdulillah so with this as someone who is from the Special Forces of let
		
00:01:53 --> 00:02:03
			Allahu Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah, we wake up early morning strive for Allah subhanho wa sallam, and
we will say that we accomplish more before 7am than most people accomplish all day.
