Haifaa Younis – The concept of Tazkiyah

			Before I start, anything I'm going to share,
		

			I don't want you to think of anybody
		

			except you.
		

			Because if you're going to say, if it
		

			is good, don't even think about somebody else.
		

			Say, is it you?
		

			And if it is not you, inshallah, it
		

			is all you.
		

			Why not?
		

			And if it is negative, don't you ever
		

			think of someone else.
		

			Then you didn't learn.
		

			All tazkiyah, all purification, all getting better, getting
		

			closer to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, is
		

			all about me with Allah.
		

			It has nothing to do with other people,
		

			including my children, including my spouse, including my
		

			friend.
		

			It's not about people.
		

			And all of you, I want you to
		

			remember, as we are starting, that on the
		

			Day of Judgment, I'm going to go to
		

			Allah alone.
		

			No one will help me.
		

			No one will come to my rescue.
		

			And if anyone is worse than me, it's
		

			not going to change my status with Allah.
		

			And if anyone is better than me, it
		

			is not going to change my status with
		

			Allah.
		

			You need to know this.
		

			And that's why all tazkiyah, all purification of
		

			the heart, is all about me and my
		

			relationship with Allah.
