00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			I'm in an airport, and I went to
go use the restroom, and I wanted
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			to make Waldo. So Waldo, for me,
is like something I just like to
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:09
			be in, like as much as I can.
Subhanallah, some people don't
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			know how amazing Waldo is, but it
brings Noor into your life. It's a
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			way of being radiant with Allah,
subhana wa taala. It's a way of
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			being recognized on the day of
judgment by the Prophet
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam and
other believers. If you make
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			waldou before you sleep, an angel
prays for you the entire night. It
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			brings blessings into your life,
and it's a means of your
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			forgiveness. Like every single
drop of water that you know is
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			like, evaporates off you, that
falls off you, it's a means of
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			forgiveness for you. And so I
wanted to make Waldo. And of
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			course, like I'm in a public
place, I definitely do it over my
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			socks. The woman on the right of
me was doing a full face of
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			makeup. I'm like, absolutely
slaying, of course. And the woman
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			to the left, like, used the
restroom and just left without
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			washing her hands. And I was
thinking about, like, it's so
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			normal to see a woman just like,
doing her makeup. Like, yeah,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			that's, you know, normal. And
like, we should not normalize not
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			washing hands, but it happens, but
let's normalize. Make him a little
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			everywhere. I.
