Ismail Kamdar – Advice for Ilm Seekers – Student Burnout – PT 02

			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatu
		

			So in the first part of this video series, we were talking about how to deal with burnout, right in
setting Islam, that many of us, we start studying Islam, we have this enthusiasm, we really want to
do it. But then somewhere down the line, we start to give up somewhere down the line, we just lose
our energy, we lose that
		

			that zeal that we had in this stuff. And the question is, how can we get that back? How do we keep
going through the difficult times. Now what I want to mention in this video is, firstly, it is
perfectly normal, perfectly human to feel like that, when chasing any goal. When pursuing any task
that is worth your time, you are going to go through stages where you are zealous, and when you're
passionate, and when you do the stick, and you are going to go through stages when you feel like
giving up when you're feeling weak. When you feel like you're not worthy. This is perfectly human,
right. Don't hate yourself for it. Don't make this feeling a basis for your judgment or whether you
		

			are going to do it or not rather, find ways to cope with it and to overcome it. So in the first
episode, we looked at the idea of making sure you have high goals. In this episode, we'll talk about
something else, very close to having high goals, which is to make sure that these goals and your
studies are pleasing to Allah Subhana makhado. And so one of the primary reasons why we should be
studying Islam, if not the most important reason we should be studying Islam is to earn the pleasure
of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		

			I want you to think about this, studying Islam is considered an act of worship, an act of evolved.
		

			On the same way that doing Dawa or praying your soda or giving charity is considered an act of
worship, which means that every moment spent studying Islam, for the sake of Allah,
		

			it becomes a good deal on your skill of cookies.
		

			So when you go into a difficult time, and you don't feel like studying, and you feel like giving up,
but if during that time, you keep studying for the sake of Allah, you keep working hard for the sake
of Allah, you keep pushing yourself forward for the sake of Allah, you're going to be rewarded for
each step. And the reward doesn't stop there. But one of the primary reasons why I didn't give up my
Islamic Studies was that I was reminded by a very close teacher of mine, that once you graduate, and
you start teaching people, Islam, then anybody who's like you are able to influence or have an
impact on any such person, you will get the reward of their good deeds. So if you go on to become an
		

			influential teacher, and have influence in the lives of 1000s, of 10s of 1000s, or hundreds of 1000s
of people, all that you want, goes into your scheme of deeds.
		

			And we also want to get the opportunity to earn rewards like that. You know, and just knowing that
that's the rewards for studying Islam and teaching it that it's that powerful instead, hi, you use
in the scale on the last day, that alone should serve in motivation. It yes times will get tough.
Yes, we will go through stages where we feel like giving up but we do need for a higher purpose. We
have higher goals. And all of these goals are for the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala So in the
first video, we said that you should have high goals, but in the second video like to remind you, of
even greater than that, these high goals should be for the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala it
		

			should be the classroom near involve, everything we do, every goal we strive towards everything that
we work towards, should be for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala This is the second point in the
series on how to deal with student but out and that is to have high goals and to work towards them.
And to do that for the sake of Allah and to always maintain the philosophy that every time we study
we are studying for the sake of Allah and we are studying as an act of ibadah surely will count on
our scale of good deeds on the last day. So that's the end of Part Two. inshallah, in part three,
we'll talk about another way that helped me and have many other people. He would burn up Jazakallah
