So I want to come off the other hand, it's a pleasure to have you
here with us today at Imperial College London, at the overcoming
obstacles conference.
Absolute pleasure to be
your talk today was about boosting human and dealing with its
fluctuations. If people managed to take only one or two pieces of
advice away from your talk today about boosting your mind, what
would what would they be? I think the main point is probably summed
up in the last two points that I made, which is that we're all
going to have some kind of challenges to our faith. The main
point is how do we have a kind of a stable spiritual input so that
our Eman stays at a moderate level at a good level all the time. And,
number one, regardless of what level it is, we should never
justify any wrongs, so any lows that we may get into, and we may
feel demoralized, we must never justify that low. And just because
we're in a certain situation or position or whatever, think that
it's okay to be there. We do it, we feel guilty, we repent, and we
expect to inshallah boost ourselves up. That's the first
point. And the second point that I made, which is very important is
that it doesn't matter how low we get to and what kind of sin we can
involve, you know, get involved in the small amount, whatever it may
be that we're doing, continue to do that. So if it's something to
do with some kind of haram relationship, illegitimate
relationship or something like that, but you still pray, well
continue praying that prayer still has its validity. It still has its
benefit. If you're still covering, but you've gotten yourself into
something else. Well, it doesn't mean you need to take your cover
off. It's about continuing to do what you're doing. But then the
Haram that's crept into our life and kind of encroached on it, to
try to rid ourselves of it. So in sha Allah that will keep continue
to give us the power to stay steadfast. Okay, so the question
and the second question is, in your talk, you mentioned something
about having a daily or a weekly regimen of record if you could
detail that again, for us in China for the benefit of the viewers.
Yeah, the five things which are very important, which we can call
a vicar regimen is number one to do 100 stick for seeking
forgiveness morning and then 100 in the evening. That stuff it
Allah rugby men can live up to 100 times morning, 100 times in the
evening. The benefit of that is that it will actually purify us
from any lapses, misdeeds or minor sins that we've committed in over
the last several hours, and stay pure. The number two is to do 100
salawat and Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, so Allahumma
salli ala Sayyidina. Muhammad, while early say that Mohammed
alberic wa salam, the benefit of this is that after being purified,
then we're doing ourselves and we're invoking the blessings of
Allah subhanho wa taala. And we're also fulfilling the right of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, because the prophets of
Allah some said, Whoever sends one blessing on him 100 blessings, or
10 blessings are showered on the person who does the sort of art so
we need that blessing. Number three is to read a portion of the
Quran a day the Quran is an illumination, it's, it illuminates
the heart, and that is really a really strong spiritual booth.
It's a big spiritual boost. So the main thing about the Quran is
whether you can just read half a page a day, or even one page a
day, if not, you know, a whole juice of the Quran, whatever is
convenient for you to read every day, then do that amount
regularly. Number four is to have some moment with Allah subhanaw
taala, five to 10 minutes every day where it's just us, and Allah
subhanaw taala and nothing else no other selfish motive is just us
and Allah, some kind of meditation, some kind of
reflection, Baraka Maha Sabha either taking the name of Allah
subhanaw taala, just thinking about our life, our death, and
just speaking to Allah getting personal, intimate conversation
with Allah subhanaw taala. So that is number four and number five, is
to at least once a week, at least once a week, if not more than
that, to have some kind of spiritual gathering that you
attend. That means any gathering in which you feel closer to Allah,
not a management gathering of your of your Isaac, where it's all
about management and it's dry, right? Those are beneficial,
they're useful, but that's not the kind of gathering that is going to
fulfill this particular regimen. I'm speaking about any gathering,
whether it be at university, whether it be in your local mosque
or somewhere else. And if you can't find any, then find
something online, a spiritually boosting talk by somebody which
makes you feel concerned and makes you reflect at least one a week
you do that. Inshallah, if you do all of this, you will keep strong,
pure and balanced. And that will really help us to fortify
ourselves against many of the the factors that will diminish our
iman on a day to day basis, just like a locker does that Graham was
able to run on the
On behalf of the Muslim community here at Imperial and those who
attended I would like to sincerely thank you for taking the time out
today to be with us economically in Austin Mr Nick Amara
