			24th Gen.
		

			I was right.
		

			It was only a matter of time.
		

			Ironically, you could call it last time me being here was the calm before the storm.
		

			I knew the rain was going to come.
		

			I didn't know it will be this heavy. We even lost this know how that was a university lecturer and a
good wage.
		

			He never made it seem like we could have everything. But at the same time, he never gave us the
impression that nothing was off limits.
		

			But that's all changed now.
		

			Now it's up to me, and the endless doom that the job market brings with it.
		

			And I haven't even finished school yet.
		

			I'm trying. I'm trying to create some passive sources of income. I read about them online.
		

			But they never seem to mention that you need a lot of capital and a lot of time to make it happen.
		

			I don't know what I'm going to do.
		

			I'm not going to fix it wanting to my diary
		

			right now are being pulled all over the place. By family mean, my mother needs me. My younger
siblings need me. I don't know how much more I can take.
		

			I feel the world is closing in on me. I can't sleep. I can't eat. I don't find pleasure in anything
anymore.
		

			My face is fine. I'm smiling. I'm happy. I'm laughing
		

			I have to
		

			if I show any weakness or pain, it will rub off on everybody else. And we'll never be able to move
past this.
		

			But inside.
		

			Inside however, it's a different story.
		

			I don't know how long I can keep this up.
		

			After all,
		

			I only have so many faces in my pockets.
		

			I feel your pain. Brother Adam. It's not easy keeping up that poker face when you're burning inside.
		

			You want you to do that for long. Especially when you pull the right strings and you press the right
buttons at this moment in your life. And I want to share with you one of my personal favorites. When
with time it will insha Allah take you to a better place in the quickest time. You know what it is?
		

			Make the remembrance of Allah subhanho wa Taala your fortress that you retreat you every Muslim
believe knows how powerful this tool is in combating anxiety and giving you strength when you fear
the unknown. ADAM You know that Allah subhanaw taala said to his messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam international Zina Anika Quran and Zillah we were the ones who set down the Quran upon you in
stages. Then he said to him what must be really how can we rhombic while our daughter I mean whom
erythema and Alka photo, so be patient, for the decision of your Lord, and do not obey among them a
sinner or ungrateful disbeliever. And then comes a third bus with charisma of DECA book written once
		

			and mentioned the name of your load in the morning, the evening
		

			Wamena Layli first jeu de la who was a Beholder in the villa, and during the night for straight to
him, and it result him for a long part of the night. Do you see the link? Brother Adam?
		

			Do you see how these verses speak to you? Do you see the connection that Allah the Most High is
making between being able to cope patiently
		

			and the remembrance of Allah
		

			It's an amazingly the scholars have spoken about it, even though to me and he said that Allah has
commanded His Prophet to remember him during the morning and the evening. Because his remembrance is
the greatest assistance in bearing the burden of patience. And he was also commanded to show
patients by praying at night.
		

			So his night prayer will act as assistance for the tasks that are ahead of him by day
		

			An ingredient for his strength Subhanallah rewind with me, brother Adam, for just a moment, stepped
into the shoes of Prophet Musa alayhis salam for just a moment I want you to imagine with me now the
huge worries involved in needing to go to the pharaoh of Egypt to invite him to Islam.
		

			And a man who had attributes of God who to himself and wanted Musa himself dead or alive, for what
he saw was murder. A nerve wracking endeavor. But Allah wouldn't send Musa and his brother huddled
without weaponry. What was their weaponry? It's the same as what we're speaking about now, bro. I
want you to equip yourself with Allah said to them, if you have a cool kbit 120 evictory
		

			Go you and your brother with my signs and do not slack in in my remembrance. That was the weapon.
		

			That was the weapon that they were given to confront. The world's most sinful tyrant the frequent
remembrance of Allah
		

			one scholar who I know you've personally been benefiting from shitless Saturday said about this,
that for inadequate Allah He died for him female owner I know Jamie I Ohmori user he knew how to use
a fee for hanger. He said this is because the remembrance of Allah provides assistance in every
matter. It's easy to them, and lightens their load Wahaca
		

			and one last thing before I love you and leave you I want to gift you with one specific phrase of
remembrance taught by the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, to a very stressed out companion of
his. He wants to walk into the mosque and found a man nicknamed Abu mana all by himself.
		

			And the messenger alayhi salatu salam said to him, What makes you sit in the mosque during a time
when it's not prayer? And the man he said something that you can relate to Adam, homeowners you met
me What do you own jasola
		

			He said Messenger of Allah, it's due to burdens that have entangled me. And that's
		

			and so the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa sallam said to him a fella or Animoca column and either in the
context of Allah Azza wa Jalla Hanoch Wakaba hunkydory Enoch, shall I not teach you some words?
		

			Through which if you say them, Allah will remove your values and he will set to your decks
		

			The man said yes, teach me and so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to him to say in
every morning and evening these following words memorize them hola hola in the Hour will be coming
and help me when hasn't what are all the becoming an hydrazine Wilkerson? Well Oh to be coming in
Germany well book would wear out we'll be coming out of it. Nene waka hurry region. Oh Allah I seek
refuge in You from grief and sadness. And I seek refuge in You from incapacity and laziness. And I
seek refuge in You from cowardice and stinginess. And I seek refuge in You from being overcome by
debt and subdued by men.
		

			abou Myrna, he said that the ultrasonic I did just that for us have Allah who helped me walk over I
need Nene, I did just that. So Allah released me from my grief.
		

			And he paid off my debt.
		

			You may or may not have endured the pain of losing a parent. But to some extent we all feel Adams
pain because we've got our own demons to find on a daily basis. So I say to you, as I say to Adam,
memorize those words, which the prophets Allah Allah Allah who was taught to abort will never put
them into action every morning and evening, and ultimately, make the remembrance of Allah subhanaw
taala your fortress, which you retreat to when you are afraid, and when you are down. We've been
promised that this fort is an impenetrable one.

inspired us to start the series and help many more like Adam. I invite you to benefit from the
