00:00:00 --> 00:00:34
			Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem Bismillah
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:42
			Alright, so inshallah we are going to this
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			is going to be a little bit of
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:48
			a different style of a halaqah It is
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			going to be motivational but it's also going
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			to be very text-based.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			I am a very firm believer in getting
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			people used to an intellectual discourse while reading
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			a text I will go through the text
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			in Arabic I will explain whatever is happening
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:05
			in Arabic.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			For those of you who understand Arabic will
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			enjoy it but you will get a different
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:09
			flavor.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			The book we are reading today is called
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			Nastoor al-ifadah bima yu'inu ala hudoor
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:21
			al-ibadah It is Nastoor is things that
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			are written in lines.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			So it's saying Nastoor al-ifadah, that things
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			that have been encapsulated in lines that are
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			of benefit to you bima yu'inu, that
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:37
			which will help you ala hudoor fil-ibadah,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			it will help you to have presence in
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			your ibadah in your worship.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			So we will talk a little bit about
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			that What does it mean to have presence
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			in your worship?
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			Alhamdulillah we all pray, but what does it
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			mean to have presence?
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			You guys can come forward because there is
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			lots of space here.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			There are more people, there is space here,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			you guys can be more comfortable on this
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			side too What does it mean to have
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			presence in ibadah?
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			Like I want to have hudoor, I want
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			to have presence Aren't you present?
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			You're alive, you're praying.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:17
			What do we mean?
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			What do you guys think it is?
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			Okay but we all set a time, we
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			all come for fajr right?
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			Or we all come for maghrib or isha,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			but are we present in that ibadah?
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			Consciously.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			If I'm praying maghrib what portion of my
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			maghrib is maghrib and what portion of my
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			maghrib is the latest assignment that I have
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:45
			to do?
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:48
			Right?
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			If we ask ourselves this question and one
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:55
			of the biggest motivations was for teaching this
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:01
			kitab again was I myself, every single person
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			we all go through phases in life where
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			your heart becomes hardened and you start feeling
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			like a ritualistic autopilot mode you don't realize,
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:10
			come in.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			Like I ask you this question to understand
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			if we have presence.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:19
			What surah did you read yesterday in maghrib?
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			Yet you find many ahadith many traditions of
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			Prophet SAW that will say I read three
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			days ago this surah and that surah is
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			stuck in my head I'm still pondering on
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			the benefits that I got from my recitation
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			in the salah three days ago.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			You find tons of stories of sahabahs being
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:46
			impacted by that presence existing.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:51
			And this hudur as much as this presence
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			in our worship is beneficial to you it's
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			mostly, first and foremost it is for my
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			benefit because I think among all of you
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			guys I am probably in one of the
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			most in need of this myself.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			And when we ask the scholars like if
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			you look at Ahmad al-Rifa'i, if
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			you ask some of the scholars they'll tell
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			you, somebody asked, how do we get presence?
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			How do I have hudur, presence in my
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			ibadah?
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			Sheikh Ahmad al-Rifa'i he said that
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			you put one of your foot on your
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			neck and the other one you will be
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			connected to Allah SWT.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			Which is an imagery of the fact that
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:31
			we have to learn to humble and humiliate
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			ourselves in front of Allah SWT when we
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:39
			do that when we absolutely humble ourselves and
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			we feel like Ya Allah I am no
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:45
			one, then at that moment it's only Allah
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			who can help you to connect with Him
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			and you will be with Allah SWT.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			But when I feel like oh I am
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			someone, and I'm about like you know I,
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			mashallah I can do this and that and
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			I can have all the gymnastics and Arabic
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			and polemics of you know Salafi, Sufi debates
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			and I can do all of that, now
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:06
			I'm Allahu Akbar, actually you are yourself Akbar
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			and you're not really believing that Allah is
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:12
			Akbar, you don't believe that so it's the
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:16
			absolute humiliation in front of Allah that you
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			humiliate yourself and you say Ya Allah I
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:24
			am nothing, that is why we say in
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:31
			salah 17 times a day Iyaka Naabudu the
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			actual sentence was Naabuduka for those of you
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:39
			that know basic, the actual sentence was Naabuduka,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:46
			we worship you but this Ka, Allah SWT
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			brought it before Naabudu, so this Ka is
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			basically the pronoun, Naabudu, we worship, Ka, you
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:56
			okay, Naabuduka, this Ka came before why did
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			it come before, to create an exclusive meaning
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:05
			we worship no one but you Iyaka, i
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			.e. we worship no one other than you
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			when we come to that level and we
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			humble ourselves to the level that I worship
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			no one but Allah, oh Allah I'm here
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			to worship you, but you can't worship without
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:25
			His help you can't truly connect without His
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			help and that's why right after that we
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:27
			say what?
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:32
			I am incapable of worshipping you, oh Allah,
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			I don't have the ability, I don't have
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			the heart, we are filled with sins, my
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			heart is hardened, I don't have the ability
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			to worship you except Iyaka Nastain, if you
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			help me do this and we say this
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:51
			17 times a day and that is the
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:55
			key to connecting with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:59
			'ala and having the presence right, Sheikh Ramadan
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			Al-Buti he said very beautifully he said
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			the keys to connecting to Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			Ta'ala are two i.e. your presence
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			in the ibadah, number one is Al-Azm
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:13
			you must, deep down inside you must develop
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:17
			a conviction, I need to connect with Allah
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:21
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala you must develop this
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:25
			connection with Allah that I needed to connect
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			with Allah, Al-Azm I am going to
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			be conscious in my Salah, I am going
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			to put away all my distractions I am
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			going to do, like you create a plan,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			you are like I am going to do
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:35
			this I am going to make this happen,
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:39
			and the second one second part of that
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			Al-Azm, now you have made the plan,
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			the follow through the second part of it
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			is the follow through can we move the
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			chairs a little bit forward so that as
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			people are coming in and stuff like that
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			it is easier for people, we have enough
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:02
			space in the front so the first part
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			is you make a determined plan that you
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			are going to connect with Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			Ta'ala and the second part of that
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:12
			equation is that you that two elements that
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			we talked about that you humble yourself in
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			front of Allah, that oh Allah I have
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			made a plan I really want to have
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			presence with you, I really want to be
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			able to be present when I am praying,
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			I really want to connect with you my
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			heart is aching and longing to connect with
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			you, and I am humbling myself in front
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:33
			of you, help me oh Allah, allow me
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			to be connected to you, because if Allah
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38
			allows you to be connected then nobody can
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:42
			disconnect you it is only Allah who will
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			allow you to do that, now in order
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:49
			for us to get into that there is
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			a small portion that I am going to
		
00:08:50 --> 00:09:01
			read which is everything in life if
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:04
			it is stripped away of etiquettes then it
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:10
			becomes completely of no value to anyone today
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			if we ate food and then we took
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			that pizza and we took out the pizza
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			from the boxes and we put the pizza
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			on the floor and then let's rub the
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			cheese on the floor and let's eat that
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			would you do that?
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			No, there are certain etiquettes of how you
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26
			are going to eat something, there are etiquettes
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			to everything, similarly there are etiquettes to knowledge,
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			there are etiquettes to learning and it is
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:32
			a small portion that I wanted to read
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:36
			but I think it exemplifies a really powerful
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:42
			reality so he says, today all of us
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:47
			are here the author he says, knowledge is
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:53
			worship of your heart you are coming to
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			seek knowledge about Ramadan it's an ibadah, the
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			way you are standing in front of Allah
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			the way we pray, the way we do
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			all of that, this is ibadah it's worship
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:11
			and it is the rectification of your inner
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:15
			side nobody knows what's inside of you we
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			all deal with each other, with our externals
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			what's embedded in our hearts, what feelings I
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			have, what thoughts I'm having, all of that
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:28
			is inside, only Allah knows that but through
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31
			ilm we can rectify that ...
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:41
			and it is that closeness internal closeness that
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			will allow us to get close to Allah
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			...
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:49
			...
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			like it is not possible for you and
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:56
			I to pray without having wudu likewise it
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			is not possible for us to understand and
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			have presence in our ibadah, in our worship
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			until we do the wudu of our hearts,
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:10
			we cleanse our hearts what do we cleanse
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:10
			our hearts for?
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			...
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			my heart will not be able to be
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			present if it is filled with all the
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			filth of our sins I can stand and
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			say ...
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			but deep down inside my heart is filled
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:31
			with sins so before for me to be
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:34
			able to feel this connection with Allah I
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			must focus on my heart, what is my
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			heart filled with?
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			what type of beliefs is it filled with?
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			do they get me closer to Allah?
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			what is my opinion of Allah?
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			what do I think of Allah?
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:51
			...
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:52
			...
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:55
			...
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			...
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59
			...
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:07
			...
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:08
			...
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13

00:30:07 --> 00:30:08
			...
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:08
			...
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:09
			...
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:09
			...
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:10
			...
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12
			...
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:15
			...
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			...
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:19
			...
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:19
			...
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:19
			...
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:20
			...
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:21
			...
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:26
			...
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			...
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:32
			...
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			...
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:42
			...
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:43
			...
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:50
			...
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:50
			...
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:53
			...
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:55
			...
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:56
			...
		
00:30:56 --> 00:31:01
			But then, you know, with being behind the
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:02
			stage and you get to hang out with
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:05
			some people, you actually quickly realize that, oh
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:07
			wow, there's like a massive gap between who
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:09
			they are on stage and what they are
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:10
			off stage.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:15
			The only person that I felt like, in
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:18
			my personal interactions, I felt like that person
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:21
			was on stage and off stage the exact
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:23
			same, no matter how many times I interacted
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:24
			with him, was Mufti Meen.
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:29
			Like, I met this person, like, it doesn't
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31
			matter, like, bro, you meet him in a
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:33
			street and you meet him on a stage,
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:34
			he's the same guy.
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:37
			Like, there's no, like, you feel like, oh,
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:40
			you're talking, like, oh, this is how you
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:41
			are in reality.
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:43
			Like, subhanAllah.
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:46
			Like, he's like, you know, all of this,
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:48
			like, may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:49
			us the ability.
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			Like, and he's having breakfast.
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54
			And I'm like, wow, this is exactly, like,
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:55
			you feel like, oh, wow, I'm, like, listening
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:57
			to a lecture at breakfast, right?
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:58
			This is how he is, mashaAllah.
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:00
			Very few people like that.
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:01
			May Allah grant us that.
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:04
			And the ones who are really close to
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:05
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:07
			May Allah enter us from those.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:13
			And he says, This is, I can't go
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:15
			into the details of this because none of
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:16
			us are going to achieve it.
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:17
			So he's like, forget about this.
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:19
			You know, alhamdulillah, we know that's where we
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:20
			need to aim.
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:25
			And if Allah wills, The only thing we're
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:27
			looking for is Allah allows us to be
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:28
			like them, then there is nothing that can
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:29
			stop me from doing that.
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:31
			But you should know that that is the
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:32
			goal.
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:34
			Okay?
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:39
			That you become that person who turns away
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			from everything other than Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:42
			'ala.
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:49
			As Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:53
			the Quran, O Prophet of Allah, say Allah.
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:02
			Tell them, Allah.
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:04
			If they wake up to the sound of
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:06
			Allah, that's great.
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:09
			But if they don't, let them be lost
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:10
			in their world.
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:15
			Let them be, you know, all the polemics
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:16
			they want to do and everything.
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:17
			Let them be in that.
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:20
			Let them fight over little things, right?
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:24
			This is something that we're trying to achieve.
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:26
			So this is the category that we're trying
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:26
			to achieve.
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:35
			This is the fasting of the pious individuals.
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:40
			This is that I want to stay away
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:44
			from as many possible sins as possible while
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:44
			I fast.
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:47
			Sin of my eyes, sin of my ears.
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:48
			And he's going to talk about each one
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:49
			of this in detail.
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:50
			Okay?
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:52
			And that's why I think this chapter is
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:54
			so relevant for the students that are going
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:54
			to university.
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:56
			But powerfully written, mashallah.
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:57
			Right?
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:59
			The first one.
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:01
			Okay?
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:05
			How do we achieve this state of the
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:06
			second level fasting?
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:09
			He says, There are six things we need
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:09
			to master.
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:11
			Okay?
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:13
			The six to master.
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:15
			There are six things you need to master.
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:22
			The first one is Which is to lower
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:22
			our gaze.
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:24
			For guys and the girls.
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:27
			What does that mean?
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:35
			He says, It is that I prevent my
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:42
			gaze from expanding to that or from reaching
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:44
			to that which Allah has not allowed me
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:45
			to see.
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:48
			And it is not something haram.
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:53
			It is It is something rebukeable or it
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:54
			is something disliked.
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:56
			You can still look at it.
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:58
			But it's something disliked.
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:02
			It's not that you prevent even the first
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:03
			step because you have makrooh.
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			Then after that comes haram.
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:10
			So not to even look at that which
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:12
			will open the doors for you to become
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:13
			easier to look at the haram.
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:15
			Okay?
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:20
			Why is that?
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:22
			Why does he say that?
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:28
			Because try praying Salatul Isha after you watched
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:29
			Interstellar.
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:32
			Okay?
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:33
			What happens?
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:35
			You are praying in the black hole.
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:37
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:40
			You are extending your hand like you are
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:42
			touching through time and space.
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:44
			Because your entire brain is occupied with that.
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:47
			So what I see with my eyes, what
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:50
			I hear, it's not possible that it's not
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:51
			going to have an effect on me.
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:57
			Because as Imam Ghazali said, My eyes and
		
00:35:57 --> 00:35:59
			ears are windows to my heart.
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:04
			What I allow, if I open my eyes,
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:06
			open my windows, open my ears, if I
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:08
			allow whatever I allow to enter in my
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:11
			heart, it will find its space in the
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:11
			heart.
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:15
			And when it finds its space in the
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:21
			heart, then other things cannot find space.
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:30
			So he says, It is that I am
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:32
			going to stay away from everything.
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:35
			Every single thing.
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:41
			It occupies and distracts my heart.
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:44
			It distracts it.
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:49
			It distracts us from the dhikr, the remembrance
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:49
			of Allah.
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:57
			So I don't want to look at anything
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:58
			that will distract me.
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:00
			I don't want to look at anything that
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:01
			is makrooh.
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:03
			I mean it will lead me to haram.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:06
			Or it is mazmoom, i.e. it is
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:09
			not something, it's disliked.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:10
			You should stay away from it.
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:12
			It's rebuke-able, in fact.
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:16
			Listen to this hadith, it's so powerful.
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:22
			The Prophet ﷺ says, One glance.
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:24
			I look at something once.
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:27
			It is an arrow.
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			Filled with poison.
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:32
			It's a poisonous arrow.
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:39
			It is a poisonous arrow that Iblis shoots
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:40
			into your heart.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:45
			فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا خَوْفًا مِّنَ اللَّهِ You saw something
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:46
			haram.
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:49
			And if you looked at it once, a
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:52
			poisonous arrow from Iblis was shot through your
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:53
			eyes into your heart.
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:56
			The poison of Shaytan entered your heart.
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:59
			But if you turned away, like I can't
		
00:37:59 --> 00:37:59
			look at that.
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:04
			فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا Whosoever left it, خَوْفًا مِّنَ اللَّهِ
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:07
			عَزَّ وَجَلِّ You left it because you honestly
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:09
			were afraid of Allah ﷻ and you're like,
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:10
			I'm fasting and I'm not going to watch
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:10
			it.
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:11
			I'm not going to look at this.
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:13
			It's haram for me to look at it.
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:20
			آتَاهُ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ إِيمَانًا Allah will give
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:21
			that person iman.
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:26
			يَجِدُ حَلَوَتَهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ You will be able
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:29
			to taste the sweetness of your iman in
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:29
			your heart.
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:32
			May Allah ﷻ grant us that, Ya Rabb.
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:43
			And Jabi ﷺ says in another narration, he
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:47
			says, five things break our spiritual fasts.
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:49
			الْكَذِبُ When I lie.
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:55
			والْغِيبَةُ Backbiting.
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:58
			والنَّميمَةُ Slander.
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:05
			والْيَمِينُ الكَذِب When I take a false oath.
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:09
			والنَّظْرُ بِالشَّهْوَةِ This is the point.
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:11
			And to look at something with lust.
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:13
			A lustful gaze.
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:21
			So how can we protect our...
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:23
			What are some of the practical things that
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:24
			we must talk about this?
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:25
			What do you guys think we can do
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:26
			to actually help ourselves in Ramadan?
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:31
			Practically to help our...
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:32
			Protect our eyes.
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:34
			Other than wearing sunglasses.
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:39
			Yeah?
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:40
			What are some practical?
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:42
			Okay.
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:45
			Being busy will help you getting distracted from
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:46
			these things.
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:46
			Okay.
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47
			What else?
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:51
			Practically what else can we do to prevent...
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:54
			Or let me ask a better question.
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:56
			Where do you think we go...
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:57
			Where eyes...
		
00:39:57 --> 00:40:00
			Where do you think our eyesights end up
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:02
			seeing the most haram?
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:09
			In social media.
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:10
			Social media.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:12
			You want to do a quick test?
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:14
			Take out your phone.
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:16
			You don't need to tell me.
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:18
			Take out your phone and open screen time
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:18
			and see how much...
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:21
			How much Instagram time you guys have.
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:24
			You don't need to share.
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:26
			Just do it on your own.
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:28
			It's a personal reflection.
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:33
			Some people will be like...
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:35
			Huh?
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:36
			12 minutes.
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:37
			12 minutes.
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:38
			MashaAllah.
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:40
			Allahumma barik.
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:42
			Okay.
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:43
			40 minutes.
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:45
			Zero.
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:46
			MashaAllah.
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:47
			He doesn't have any Instagram.
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:47
			That's amazing.
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:52
			What about YouTube?
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:55
			Yeah.
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:56
			That's a problem.
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:57
			See?
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:58
			That's social media too.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:00
			Okay.
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:02
			What's your average screen time?
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:04
			So, what...
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:05
			Tell me some of the screen times.
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:09
			From the guys.
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:10
			Some of the screen times.
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:14
			11 hours and 19 minutes.
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:15
			Ya Allah.
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:18
			What do you do?
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:20
			Like you sleep with your phone like...
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:22
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:25
			11 hours.
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:25
			What was that?
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:32
			Huh?
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:34
			Mine is probably like 6 hours.
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:38
			I'm just like...
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:38
			Hello.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:38
			Hello.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:39
			Hey.
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:40
			Who's dying?
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:44
			So...
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:48
			So, what do you think you guys can
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:49
			do to actually...
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:51
			Right?
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:52
			Let's talk about cell phone.
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:54
			Right?
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:57
			What are some of the practical ways that
		
00:41:57 --> 00:41:58
			we can actually limit our screen time?
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:02
			Delete Instagram.
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:02
			Yeah?
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:05
			I usually...
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:08
			Every Ramadan, I usually cancel all subscriptions for
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:08
			one month.
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:12
			If there's any subscriptions, I would cancel it.
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:13
			Or put it on hold.
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:16
			If you don't have it, you won't watch
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:16
			it.
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:17
			Okay?
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:20
			If you have a TV at home, turn
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:21
			your TV to the other side.
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:22
			No, I'm serious.
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:23
			Practical things, right?
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:24
			Because it's like...
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:26
			The more obstacles you put towards your habit
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:28
			loop, the less that you're going to go.
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:29
			Yes.
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:37
			You really trust your friends.
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:38
			MashaAllah.
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:40
			Huh?
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:42
			Okay.
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:44
			One of the other ways you could do...
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:45
			And...
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:47
			You know you get these boxes?
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:48
			Lockable boxes?
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:50
			Yeah, you get these lockable...
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:51
			That's...
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:51
			Yeah.
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:53
			You took his phone?
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:54
			Wow.
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:55
			MashaAllah.
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:57
			So, you can put...
		
00:42:57 --> 00:42:59
			Like, what you can do is you can
		
00:42:59 --> 00:42:59
			put your phone away.
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:03
			Seven days or 18 hours and stuff.
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:05
			What I learned was...
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:06
			You know...
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:07
			Do you guys know Dr. Shadi?
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:10
			Dr. Shadi, he moved...
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:11
			So, he has a rule.
		
00:43:12 --> 00:43:13
			He went to his house.
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:15
			So, his phone never...
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:18
			His iPhone never leaves his desk.
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:23
			He got it mounted, glued onto his table.
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:26
			So, if he needs to...
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:28
			I message, he has to come and he
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:29
			has to like...
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:30
			Like, record the message.
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:31
			That's the only way he can...
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:32
			So, he still has WhatsApp and stuff.
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:34
			But then, he will only have it.
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:36
			And then, the rest of the time, what
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:37
			do you think he's walking with?
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:39
			Flip phone.
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:42
			No.
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:44
			Outside, he's literally walking with a flip phone.
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:47
			Okay?
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:50
			And he made all of his students also...
		
00:43:50 --> 00:43:51
			He was trying to convince me.
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:53
			It didn't work.
		
00:43:54 --> 00:43:55
			I'm being honest.
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:56
			It didn't work.
		
00:43:56 --> 00:43:58
			I bought the flip phone but never ended
		
00:43:58 --> 00:43:58
			up using it.
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:00
			Alright?
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:02
			But the reality is...
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:04
			Phone is going to be one big thing.
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:05
			And do you think you'll be able to
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:05
			like...
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:08
			Abruptly cancel your phone addiction right away?
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:09
			No.
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:11
			You have to start now.
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:14
			So, you look at your screen times.
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:15
			And you put...
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:18
			In an iPhone, you can set that when
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:20
			you hit your desired screen time, it will
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:21
			lock all your apps.
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:23
			There's a setting you can do.
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:24
			So, it will lock all your apps.
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:27
			So, then you're conscious.
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:28
			But then, that's a true honesty that you
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:30
			have to be with yourself because you can
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:31
			quickly like unlock to...
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:32
			Right?
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:34
			It's an honesty that you'll have to do
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:35
			that.
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:37
			But I think getting our phones in check
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:40
			is definitely going to be one of the
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:42
			biggest helpers in Ramadan for us.
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:43
			Okay?
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:46
			What other things?
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:47
			Our eyesight.
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:49
			I believe if you're on the campus, you
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:50
			know...
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:52
			This year Ramadan is at least in the
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:52
			winter.
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:53
			So, you're good.
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:55
			Summertime, it's bad.
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:56
			Right?
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:58
			But like in, you know, winter time, people
		
00:44:58 --> 00:44:58
			are still dressed.
		
00:44:59 --> 00:44:59
			Covered.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:00
			I don't know.
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:02
			I hope so.
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:03
			I hope so.
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:04
			I don't know.
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:05
			Okay?
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:08
			Anything else that we can do to help
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:11
			ourselves protect our eyes from this evil?
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:13
			Or anything else that we use?
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:15
			Okay?
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:16
			Our postures.
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:18
			Like, consciously walking, looking down.
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:21
			Right?
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:23
			If you're just looking down, it doesn't have
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:24
			to be like...
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:28
			Like, just look down.
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:28
			Right?
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:30
			Just gaze down.
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:34
			Because if you read the Shama'il Tirmidhi,
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:35
			they talk about it.
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:38
			That Rasulullah S.A.W. Right?
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:40
			Most of his gaze was on the ground.
		
00:45:42 --> 00:45:43
			Most of his gaze, you know.
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:47
			جُلُّ نَظَرِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ Majority of the time,
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:48
			he just gazed at the earth.
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:50
			It was just like non-focused gaze towards
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:51
			the earth.
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:52
			Okay?
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:55
			If you develop that habit, then it becomes...
		
00:45:55 --> 00:45:56
			Then you also...
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:59
			It really provides you sukoon in life.
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:01
			Because there are people who are like looking
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:01
			like this.
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:03
			And they will pick up...
		
00:46:03 --> 00:46:05
			They call them gazers in psychology.
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:05
			Right?
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:07
			So, they pick up on little...
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:09
			Oh, she was sitting there.
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:09
			He was sitting there.
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:11
			Everyone's like...
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:12
			Right?
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:16
			And that really gets to your head eventually.
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:18
			But if you're gazing on the ground the
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:20
			entire time and you know where you're headed...
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:21
			I mean, don't bump into people like that.
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:22
			But like...
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:24
			Enough of a gaze that you're just looking
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:24
			like this.
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:25
			So, you know there are people around.
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:27
			But you're not actively looking.
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:30
			That is something that really helped when I
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:30
			was going to university.
		
00:46:31 --> 00:46:31
			Right?
		
00:46:31 --> 00:46:32
			It really helped.
