			When you're memorizing,
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			make sure your mind is there.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			Fully attentive.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:14
			Concentrating.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			Not somebody who just came out of a
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			war zone in his house and then picks
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			up a guitar and there's a 101 things
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			on his mind.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			If you want to memorize you need to
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			free your mind.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:25
			Okay?
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			And I'll give you a piece of advice,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			you guys want to memorize, get rid of
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			your phone at a time of memorization.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			The poet he said I began to dislike
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			the Internet.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			And it made me feel so tight.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			And the reason why I dislike the internet
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			is for a number of reasons.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			Because also it's a very deep
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			ocean.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			And you find that it ends up wasting
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			a lot of your time.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			On Youtube, on Instagram, you're just sliding sliding
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			sliding going down down down down down down
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			for hours. And before you know
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			it, time is gone. Likewise on the YouTube
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			recommended channels.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			Click on this one. Oh there's another video.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			And another one. And another one. And another
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			one. That's what your phone does.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			I know a lot of sisters who message
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			me, who may have kids, they say, oh
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			sir I don't have any time.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			You got 24 hours in your day.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			You can't find time even for 1 hour?
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			Get rid of your phone, that's what I
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			tell them. Weeks later they message back, Oh
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:27
			Allah, hijackalaqairustad,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			you know,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			I advise him get rid of your phone.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			A week later he goes to me, guess
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			what Buteyemi?
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:42
			Guess what?
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			I switched off my phone,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			In 1 hour I memorized 3 pages.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			And before they couldn't do half.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			And this brother is one of those guys
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			as soon as I message him, he's online.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			He gets back to me.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			Someone who is addicted to his phone.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			Get rid of your phone guys if you
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			really want to get that knowledge.
