have nowadays, like, you know, I'm hustling, I'm putting in these efforts, and I'm doing this, and
this is my side hustle, or my full hustle or my main hustle or whatever you want to call it. And
		
00:00:45 --> 00:01:33
			oftentimes, in this hustle culture, we forget the purpose of why we exist. And what I wanted to
start was I wanted to start my hustle. If there's such a thing, I wanted to start my hustle with a
hadith that would make me grounded and anybody else that wants to do these side hustles or main
hustles keeps them grounded and keeps the ultimate purpose in their life in front front and center
in their lives. And I'm going to begin this with the Hadith that Allah subhanaw taala did this
