			Like, you know, as far as purifying your heart, there is so much that we say about the purification
of the heart and how to purify your heart. But as far as taking practical steps towards the
purification of your heart, one of your means to that end is some seclusion, some seclusion, because
we're always busy, we're always surrounded by friends, we're always doing something or the other,
we're always thinking of somebody, whether it's, you know,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			parent or child spouse.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:58
			And that makes us whole was distracted by those thoughts. So there is there is some need for some
Halloween, or some seclusion, this combo would work like a diet regime for the body.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:09
			Because there are certain diseases that you cannot treat unless you go on, one discovers a Hemi out
or a diet.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			And the same applies here, the diseases of the heart, you need to have some
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:25
			diet or some regime so that your heart can recover from all of the overfeeding
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:31
			distraction that results from
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:58
			this buisiness being sort of drawn into the life too much thinking about life all the time,
surrounded by people of this world all the time, when when you are surrounded by the people of this
world, you're always thinking about, you know, if you are thinking with your mother about something,
it's usually related to your career. And
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:17
			if you're talking with your spouse, it's usually related to your kids or your next move for your
apartment, furniture, food sanctuary, if you're talking to friends, it will also be about these
issues.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:28
			So those of seclusion is important for each and every one of us. How can we do this? Sometimes you
can have you know, those Snap Fitness places.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:36
			The one they are to care for one night Africa, where you are alone, truly alone
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:50
			is like this and fitness for SNAP spiritual fitness for us. So I think this would be recommended.
Because it's very hard for us to have prolonged periods of seclusion
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			had ombre
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:04
			when he you capitalize on every chance that you are alone, and you think about your destiny, you
think about being you know,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:21
			standing alone before Allah subhanaw taala being questioned alone, before Allah subhanaw taala
walking on the set out alone, you know, making it eventually to the center and are alone without all
the people around you. So you you just
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			sit with yourself and think about
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			your destiny,
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:34
			which will be you know, your individual destiny.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:36
			And
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:59
			if you can't find any periods of seclusion, then you at least have to have some mental seclusion.
Like what even while you're sitting with other people, and that could be harder, but that's the
ultimate prize. And eventually you would want to get there to the station where you have this mental
seclusion even if you're physically
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:07
			amongst the people. So like when we're sitting together and you are
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:13
			mentally with our last pinata, a mentally secluded.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			So I think it was
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:44
			I'm not quite sure which one of the 13 said I have known. Some people who would be weeping on the
pillow would get their pillows wet out of weeping without their own spouses noticing. And I know
people that would be weeping while they're praying and the one praying next to them
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:59
			or the people next to them praying what would not notice it. So that is when you build up those
mental walls that can make create some some degree of separation between you
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:08
			And the people of this world, so that you can have a bit of focus, you can have more focus on you
know, your your
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			ultimate destiny, your,
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:32
			your final destination, you know, your your connection with ally relationship, whether long unless
you have those mental worlds, it is very hard to be focused, it is very hard to travel any long
distance on your path to Alaska
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:52
			while you're being pulled by many, many people from many sides from many ends, consumed in your
thoughts about many, many, many things. thoughts around about this life, about you taking your car
to the shop.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			You know, having breakfast and
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:05
			going to university University, meeting someone after hours.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:20
			There's so much that we think about and those are distractions. So mental walls is what you need to
do. And whenever you get a chance to physically also be alone
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			so that you can have more clarity,
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			then you should be the one that
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			make it easy for us
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			those moments
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			from ourselves
