			The idea of leaning into your gift isn't just with regards to parents directly to your children, but
even me myself, right? Sometimes you even as an adult or you as a teenager, or wherever you're at,
you might become so inclined, because we're naturally attracted to the success of somebody else. And
so I see sharp Kamal is hilarious, right? He's got such great comedic timing. Imagine if I say to
myself, I need to be funny like shakaama and so now I'm trying to be you know, and my jokes aren't
working and it's not gonna work or I try to be intelligent
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:48
			it's not gonna work right? So imagine if the Companions tried to be each other like hiding the
minutiae of the law and is trying to be a recite or like the liveness earth or Abdullah was really
just trying to be a warrior like why didn't they do it it
		
00:00:49 --> 00:01:26
			each Everybody's got their own gifts, they've got their own talents and hide it trying to be like
Abdullah, who wouldn't have worked enough to live in Israel trying to be like high dignitaries
wouldn't have worked. I've lived my gift was the Quran and him being able to recite and him being
able to teach him how to lead gift was on the battlefield. And that completeness is in a community
is each one trying to lean into their own gift, realizing that we're all complementary pieces, and
that ALLAH SubhanA data made you unique and gave you certain talents. And so you maximizing those
talents is going to take you further than you trying to be somebody else.
