00:00:02 -->
00:00:08
alameen wa Salatu was Salam O Allah Colombia will mousseline while he was having his reign of bad.
00:00:09 -->
00:00:11
Luck Amano della said.
00:00:12 -->
00:00:14
Old we live in a shed on the regimes we live in a manner that
00:00:15 -->
00:00:25
will last in aliens and refuse illa levena Amano Amita Sally had the water was so will have the
water was so visible
00:00:27 -->
00:00:28
and lots of other data
00:00:30 -->
00:00:31
took an oath
00:00:32 -->
00:00:33
by time
00:00:35 -->
00:00:37
in one Hadith
00:00:38 -->
00:00:40
is support CLS said
00:00:42 -->
00:00:43
the meaning of witches
00:00:44 -->
00:00:50
he directed the people and he said do not curse time because I am time.
00:00:53 -->
00:00:58
So, Allah subhanaw taala took an oath by time and he said in
00:00:59 -->
00:01:00
in Zana, that
00:01:01 -->
00:01:07
you see the grammar of this Arabic first is the oath while acid
00:01:08 -->
00:01:12
then Allah said in which is very early and surely
00:01:13 -->
00:01:16
in Santa, then there is lack of
00:01:19 -->
00:01:22
of emphasis the Lamb of the off target,
00:01:24 -->
00:01:24
Latinos are
00:01:27 -->
00:01:30
truly mankind is in loss.
00:01:32 -->
00:01:46
Truly all Indian inshallah Allah subhanaw taala is including all human beings in this in, in Santa
Rosa was every single human being on the face of the earth who was ever one is in verse,
00:01:48 -->
00:01:53
He is a loser, he is in loss he has,
00:01:54 -->
00:01:57
there is nothing about him, that is
00:01:59 -->
00:02:04
a sign of winnings, or a sign of success in Al insana love your host.
00:02:05 -->
00:02:14
So the first thing we remind myself a new is to examine our mental models about what is success and
what is failure.
00:02:18 -->
00:02:21
It's very important to reflect on the Koran, very important to
00:02:23 -->
00:02:27
think and reflect on and
00:02:28 -->
00:02:31
try to understand what Allah subhanho that is seeing
00:02:34 -->
00:02:39
and hear a lot smarter is saying that all of mankind is in loss.
00:02:41 -->
00:02:44
But if we look at ourselves, and if we look at our own mental models,
00:02:45 -->
00:02:48
now our own criteria of success and failure.
00:02:49 -->
00:02:54
And if we look, if I tell you to name 10 people who are successful I'm sure you will name 10 people.
00:02:56 -->
00:02:58
And I can also say with certainty that
00:02:59 -->
00:03:03
unless some of you are smart enough, you are not going to name a number
00:03:06 -->
00:03:17
I can almost say that with depth with absolute certainty, the device a name 10 people who are
successful you will not name 10 Mb you will probably not even name 10 Muslims
00:03:20 -->
00:03:21
or the Muslims that you name
00:03:23 -->
00:03:28
will be Muslims who are successful why because of the amount of money they have.
00:03:30 -->
00:03:37
You are not an anger You and I are not going to name can Muslims who are great dilemma, for example.
00:03:39 -->
00:03:47
But you will name somebody who is a billionaire and a trillionaire and whatnot, whatnot, whatnot.
And you will keep on mentioning those things.
00:03:48 -->
00:03:52
Because those are our mental models of success.
00:03:53 -->
00:03:59
You see that they've asked ourselves this question you can't live live like this unless rather is in
everybody's in loss.
00:04:01 -->
00:04:03
Now why is it important to
00:04:04 -->
00:04:10
think about mental models of success because whatever is your mental model of success, that is the
one you're following.
00:04:12 -->
00:04:13
That is what you're chasing
00:04:14 -->
00:04:17
whether or not you ever achieve it is a different matter.
00:04:18 -->
00:04:20
But you are chasing that.
00:04:21 -->
00:04:24
So if you are chasing that and that that is loss,
00:04:25 -->
00:04:28
then what are you chasing? loss?
00:04:29 -->
00:04:35
What sense does it make? What sense does it make to live our whole life chasing loss
00:04:36 -->
00:04:39
so in the end, if you catch up with what you are chasing you have lost
00:04:41 -->
00:04:47
I mean it just doesn't make sense. you're chasing loss and your success is that you become a loser.
00:04:50 -->
00:04:51
That's what it means not when
00:04:53 -->
00:04:55
you go chasing something such as this to gadgets.
00:04:57 -->
00:04:59
So if you're chasing logic got lost so what that means you
00:05:00 -->
00:05:00
What a loser.
00:05:04 -->
00:05:18
Seriously, we have to think about this what is the meaning in Alexander elegibles? day everybody is
a loss. Everyone is a loss. So who are our role models? Who are the people who we consider to be
successful?
00:05:20 -->
00:05:23
What is the mental model of success that we are working with?
00:05:27 -->
00:05:31
And if they don't do that mental model of success is loss.
00:05:33 -->
00:05:36
So here we have a peculiar situation where even if you succeed, you have failed.
00:05:38 -->
00:05:42
She was exceeding what you are chasing your head because of chasing brilliant
00:05:46 -->
00:05:57
Illa la Vina Amano Sally hottie, what else are we lucky what was over so I'm not going to open this
chapter. Now. We'll do that in the next few days. But just to complete the surah, because we don't
want to leave it midway.
00:05:59 -->
00:06:05
And the last one, Abdullah then gave the model of success, which is the success according to
horrible al amin
00:06:06 -->
00:06:15
and Allah subhanaw. taala describes four aspects of that success that success comprises of four
things. Sometimes people
00:06:16 -->
00:06:23
explain this as saying four kinds of people are successful. That's not true. It's not what kinds of
people it's for things in the same person.
00:06:24 -->
00:06:26
Such worries are four kinds of people.
00:06:27 -->
00:06:47
If somebody has even a normal salary is not successful, somebody is doing good deeds, and he has no
he man is not successful. So it's not a question of or independent things. It's the question of four
things in the same person. So four aspects, and four things that must be covered to complete the
model of success. That success model Allah subhanaw taala is a
00:06:48 -->
00:06:50
model of four parts.
00:06:51 -->
00:07:22
Illa Lavina Amano, Amina Sally happy what I was always happy. What was the result? inshallah we'll
talk about that later. Now, we will stay with this. And I asked myself, I remind myself and you let
us seriously reflect on what are these success models in our mind, who, according to us are
successful people. And again, don't fool yourself, don't simply generalize the law. Because if that
is, in fact, the case, that must reflect your life, otherwise, you're lying to yourself Simple as
that.
00:07:23 -->
00:07:33
Towards Abraham Elisa, even when he was a man who spent his entire life in journey in the path of
Allah, Allah, we didn't sit in one place for his entire life.
00:07:34 -->
00:07:35
Are you willing to do that?
00:07:37 -->
00:07:47
Have you done it? You can't even leave your house for three days, forget about the whole life? Where
is the variable is your success model? No. alessa, just about 950 years of our
00:07:48 -->
00:07:53
people are cursing you the whole day? That's the model. Let's not fool ourselves.
00:07:54 -->
00:07:59
Let us not fool ourselves, let us seriously look at who am I chasing? What model Am I chasing?
00:08:02 -->
00:08:07
And then convince yourself that this model is a model that leads to failure
00:08:09 -->
00:08:46
and the dwara gela we'll see what does it mean to you and then our side and so on. So what what
today let us reflect on this the purpose of these other reminders is not to give somebody an oil is
to help us to reflect begin the day with reflection begin the day with thinking about our own life.
So that inshallah the day goes well and each other less of the life also goes well. We ask Allah
subhanaw taala to open our hearts to his column, to open our hearts to the sun. Love is the result
of salah and to ensure that we take and make the right choices and we take the right path that leads
to success and not about to failure was Allah Allah Allah will Karim Allah Allah. He was highly
00:08:46 -->
00:08:46
advised.
