00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			So I want to come off the other
hand, it's a pleasure to have you
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			here with us today at Imperial
College London, at the overcoming
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			obstacles conference.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			Absolute pleasure to be
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			your talk today was about boosting
human and dealing with its
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26
			fluctuations. If people managed to
take only one or two pieces of
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			advice away from your talk today
about boosting your mind, what
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			would what would they be? I think
the main point is probably summed
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			up in the last two points that I
made, which is that we're all
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38
			going to have some kind of
challenges to our faith. The main
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			point is how do we have a kind of
a stable spiritual input so that
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:47
			our Eman stays at a moderate level
at a good level all the time. And,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52
			number one, regardless of what
level it is, we should never
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			justify any wrongs, so any lows
that we may get into, and we may
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:02
			feel demoralized, we must never
justify that low. And just because
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			we're in a certain situation or
position or whatever, think that
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:11
			it's okay to be there. We do it,
we feel guilty, we repent, and we
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			expect to inshallah boost
ourselves up. That's the first
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:19
			point. And the second point that I
made, which is very important is
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:24
			that it doesn't matter how low we
get to and what kind of sin we can
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28
			involve, you know, get involved in
the small amount, whatever it may
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:33
			be that we're doing, continue to
do that. So if it's something to
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:38
			do with some kind of haram
relationship, illegitimate
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			relationship or something like
that, but you still pray, well
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			continue praying that prayer still
has its validity. It still has its
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:47
			benefit. If you're still covering,
but you've gotten yourself into
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			something else. Well, it doesn't
mean you need to take your cover
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:54
			off. It's about continuing to do
what you're doing. But then the
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			Haram that's crept into our life
and kind of encroached on it, to
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:01
			try to rid ourselves of it. So in
sha Allah that will keep continue
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:05
			to give us the power to stay
steadfast. Okay, so the question
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			and the second question is, in
your talk, you mentioned something
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:13
			about having a daily or a weekly
regimen of record if you could
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			detail that again, for us in China
for the benefit of the viewers.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			Yeah, the five things which are
very important, which we can call
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			a vicar regimen is number one to
do 100 stick for seeking
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			forgiveness morning and then 100
in the evening. That stuff it
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:31
			Allah rugby men can live up to 100
times morning, 100 times in the
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			evening. The benefit of that is
that it will actually purify us
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:38
			from any lapses, misdeeds or minor
sins that we've committed in over
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:43
			the last several hours, and stay
pure. The number two is to do 100
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			salawat and Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, so Allahumma
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			salli ala Sayyidina. Muhammad,
while early say that Mohammed
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			alberic wa salam, the benefit of
this is that after being purified,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			then we're doing ourselves and
we're invoking the blessings of
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			Allah subhanho wa taala. And we're
also fulfilling the right of
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
salam, because the prophets of
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			Allah some said, Whoever sends one
blessing on him 100 blessings, or
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:10
			10 blessings are showered on the
person who does the sort of art so
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			we need that blessing. Number
three is to read a portion of the
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:17
			Quran a day the Quran is an
illumination, it's, it illuminates
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:21
			the heart, and that is really a
really strong spiritual booth.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			It's a big spiritual boost. So the
main thing about the Quran is
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:29
			whether you can just read half a
page a day, or even one page a
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			day, if not, you know, a whole
juice of the Quran, whatever is
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:36
			convenient for you to read every
day, then do that amount
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			regularly. Number four is to have
some moment with Allah subhanaw
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:43
			taala, five to 10 minutes every
day where it's just us, and Allah
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:48
			subhanaw taala and nothing else no
other selfish motive is just us
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			and Allah, some kind of
meditation, some kind of
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:54
			reflection, Baraka Maha Sabha
either taking the name of Allah
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			subhanaw taala, just thinking
about our life, our death, and
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			just speaking to Allah getting
personal, intimate conversation
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:04
			with Allah subhanaw taala. So that
is number four and number five, is
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			to at least once a week, at least
once a week, if not more than
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			that, to have some kind of
spiritual gathering that you
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:15
			attend. That means any gathering
in which you feel closer to Allah,
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:19
			not a management gathering of your
of your Isaac, where it's all
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			about management and it's dry,
right? Those are beneficial,
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			they're useful, but that's not the
kind of gathering that is going to
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:28
			fulfill this particular regimen.
I'm speaking about any gathering,
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			whether it be at university,
whether it be in your local mosque
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			or somewhere else. And if you
can't find any, then find
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:38
			something online, a spiritually
boosting talk by somebody which
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:42
			makes you feel concerned and makes
you reflect at least one a week
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:46
			you do that. Inshallah, if you do
all of this, you will keep strong,
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:50
			pure and balanced. And that will
really help us to fortify
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:54
			ourselves against many of the the
factors that will diminish our
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			iman on a day to day basis, just
like a locker does that Graham was
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			able to run on the
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			On behalf of the Muslim community
here at Imperial and those who
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			attended I would like to sincerely
thank you for taking the time out
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			today to be with us economically
