00:01:19 --> 00:01:23
			Mario respected brothers, sisters and as scholars
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:34
			the title of my hotbar today is repair your relationships, repair your relationships.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:40
			Among the many reasons to do that is also the fact that we are approaching the month of Ramadan al
Karim.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			We want to enter the month of Ramadan in a state of the hara,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:58
			external Sahara but equally and if not more importantly, internal the higher the Hara of the cult,
the purity of the heart.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:07
			And the purity of the heart begins with two things. One
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			is removing all forms of shirk from our heart.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			Making a heart you're
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:25
			with the class with sincerity and as the seat of the cache of ALLAH SubhanA Rotella della della Lu
and nothing else.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:39
			And second, by purifying our heart by removing all forms of negativity from it, the top of that the
first of that is hatred, and enmity of people.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			So let us begin with that.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:52
			The secret of influencing the secret of happiness in this life, and a true resource
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:59
			is good relationships. It's not money. It's not political power.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:06
			It's not a wealth in any form. It's well as in good relationships.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:21
			Recently, somebody sent me an article about the longest running study in Harvard, on human behavior.
It's been running for the last 84 years.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			Dr. Dr. Robert waldinger.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:33
			He is the director of what is called the Harvard study of adult development. And he is the co author
of a book called The Good Life.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:52
			This study originally had 724 participants, 268 of them were sophomores at Harvard. Among them was
the then future President of the United States, John F. Kennedy,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:58
			and the future Washington post editor, Ben Bradley.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			So this study has been going on for a long time.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:14
			Later the included 450. within quotes, ordinary people because somebody told them that you're you
have all the Boston brabbins In this,
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:27
			the wealthy whites. So they said you need more, make it more broad based. And they did that and they
call them the Boston boys 450 less privileged, inner city children.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:37
			And then they expanded this pool over the years to include 1300 descendants. And they've been
tracking these people for 84 years.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:43
			And the retention rate of the number of people who are still in the study is 84%, which is amazing.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:05:00
			Now what did they do in the study every two years? They answer a very long question. I like the
question every five years. They surrender their medical records to the study, so that they can study
the physiological changes. And every 15 years they
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			Have a face to face interview.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:07
			And the lesson, good relationships keep us happier and healthier.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:12
			Now, how does social media factored into this?
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:32
			Especially given the problems with anxiety and depression and mental illness, we bring you to
another study, which I read yesterday, on the effect of social media, especially on American youth,
you're talking about teenagers, maybe even less than that, and going into their 20s.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:38
			So what is the effect of that on anxiety, depression, mental illness,
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:39
			suicides.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:50
			And wanting us as if you use social media to connect with people as in talk to people for which
really, you don't need social media face to face talking to the best or make a phone call.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:06:12
			Then he says your happiness level will increase because you're actually talking to real people face
to face or on the phone or something. But if you only consume others, social media, which is what we
do all the time, which is Instagram posts, WhatsApp University forwards,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			YouTube forwards, and so on, so forth.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:23
			It makes us distinctly less happy.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:36
			Now, the reason is obvious, because social media works on an algorithm, which is geared to give you
what you show interest in
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:51
			social media is not concerned about giving you real facts or about giving you real news. It's
concerned about how much of face time it gets out of you, because that's how they get ad revenue.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:07:01
			So whatever you show an interest in is what the algorithm then directs into your social media.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			Right.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:13
			So if you are now showing an interest in negative stuff, and this is another tragedy of the of our
times that we know again,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:36
			from very well researched data is what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about some you know,
conspiracy theory, we know that people are more attracted towards negative things than positive
things. People remember negative things much longer than there is then they then they remember,
remember positive things.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:43
			People get much more emotional about negative things, then they get emotional about positive things.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:48
			If somebody says something good to you, you will probably forget it 10 seconds later.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:55
			But if somebody curses you and calls you a donkey, you will remember that all your life although
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:00
			take a look in the mirror and hold a picture of a donkey next to you and see if there is any
resemblance
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:09
			you know that what you know what you are told is a lie you know, it is a lie, but that lie gets you
usually excited.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:15
			Right? So somebody calls you a donkey and then your behavior proves that he was right.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:27
			Now, I submit to you, the reason I mentioned this study is that all relationships irrespective
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:36
			depend only on two things. Number one, appreciation. Number two, forgiveness.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:58
			Every relationship in the world whatever it is, including our relationship with Allah subhanho wa
Taala delegable appreciation of His blessings, and seeking forgiveness, appreciation and forgiveness
every relationship in the world is dependent only on two things. If we fail on these two things, the
relationship is gone.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:14
			I want to propose to you therefore to remove one word from your vocabulary and substitute that with
another word. The word that I want you to really remove from your vocabulary is the word tolerance
or tolerate
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:20
			and substitute that with appreciate for a procedure.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:36
			Why do I say that? Because when you tolerate someone or something you really say to yourself, This
is a nasty piece of action. I wish it wasn't there. I wish it disappeared but it doesn't. So I'll
deal with it anyway.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:38
			Right?
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			You don't turn on a triple chocolate sundae do
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:49
			you do not tolerate a beautiful Hyderabadi dum biryani do you
		
00:09:51 --> 00:10:00
			use by event even without eating it? To the best of my knowledge there's only 100 words you even
know what I'm talking about. The rest of you are not even heard of it but you all smiling much
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:06
			Allah good for you. Just the word produces a SPIFe you don't tolerate that you love it you wish you
had it. I also wish I had it
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:21
			what do we tolerate? What we tolerate is something which is intrinsically not good. But for various
reasons I have to put up with it. So I'm putting up with it. Now if that is my and yours
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:27
			if that is our approach to people and to relationship, what kind of relationship is that?
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:28
			Right?
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:44
			But when you're thinking, appreciation, you are thinking, love you thinking gratitude, you must you
think you're missing someone. You're thinking about the pain of parting. You're thinking beautiful
pictures, and sounds and dreams.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49
			So I said, you forget tolerating people, start appreciating them,
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			learn about them.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:11:02
			Many of us come to the masses. I've said this before, I'll say to the end of my days, many of us
come to the mercy of Marshall, I'm seeing a lot of you. And I see you at least once a day,
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:04
			because you come every day.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:27
			And it's the nature of the human being that he or she is a creature of habit. So if you come every
day and you pray in a certain place, I can guarantee you you probably pray in the same place every
single day. As long as that place is vacant, you will you will pray the same place, which means that
the person praying next to you is probably the same person you pray next to each other every day. My
question to you is do you know the name of that person?
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:32
			Just look at the person next to you. Do you know the name of that person? Just the name?
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			What else do you know what this person
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:48
			is that the meaning of a relationship? We come every day we meet? We see this person every day we
don't even know their name. We don't know the first thing about
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			how do you build relationships like this?
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			So please don't do this yourself.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:04
			As the person next to you what is their name? Do it now?
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			Yes,
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			sir. Bassam.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:22
			Tell them they did not. Name name name. What is your name? Right? Your hamdulillah see the number of
spies just imagine I mean everybody's smiling right?
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:27
			Before that, I wanted to see your teeth take you to the dentist.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:33
			Remember, human beings are the only mammals who show their teeth when they're happy.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:35
			So to
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			do that, right
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:51
			hamdulillah my brother and sister really seriously think about this. How much effort does it take to
maintain beautiful relationship nothing nothing. And you feel good in the process? That's that's the
immediate payoff.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:59
			So how do you appreciate people we appreciate by focusing on commonalities not on differences
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			right commonalities not differences.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			I'm talking about the opposite of what we always do right.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:18
			When it comes to religion, we look at all the things which are different. My opinion you are okay
that this one that one forward
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:24
			let ALLAH ask the questions that Allah will ask that's not your job. You're not God right.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:36
			Whether somebody is going to join our job is not your job. Jana doesn't belong to you Jana doesn't
belong to you it belongs to Allah Subhan Allah let him decide. In any case, he will decide it's not
that you know, you take it upon yourself.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:49
			commonalities, what do we have in common? What are the things we like about each other? And somebody
said, but you know, this was you know, what is no no, I don't want to know I do not want to know
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			what I know about him hamdulillah
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:16
			and if you see something different in somebody then remind yourself that that's exactly what it is
different. It is not good or bad. It's not nasty, or or nice. It's not virtuous or evil is just
simply different. Alhamdulillah
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			it's interesting.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			And so I want to learn more about the difference.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:29
			is not as easy. I'm making it sound easy, but believe it is not easy because our whole conditioning.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:37
			Almost default, irrespective of culture is good back nice. Not nice.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:46
			And vegetarian. Somebody who's eating meat is a dirty guy, which meat if I'm a meat eater, and
somebody is vegetarian, he's a goat.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:48
			He's a rabbit.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			This is our condition. This is our conditioning.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			Yes.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:15:00
			This is what we need to break and we need
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05
			To break this for our happiness in this life and we need to break this to start before Allah
subhanaw taala
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:15
			because as long as you focus on differences, believe me, you end up dehumanizing and demonizing
others
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:25
			the second very important thing is to develop a selective memory. Remember the good forget the bad.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:30
			Remember the lesson but forget the incident.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:36
			Think about this. You're driving your cruiser your
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			holiday Davidson.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:45
			Beautiful sunny day. We're going down the road. You're tucked up for that.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			And you find yourself suddenly behind a garbage truck.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:58
			And before you know it a piece of smelly wet garbage flies off the back of the truck and hits you on
the chest.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			What do you do?
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			What do you do?
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:10
			You pull over at the first possible place and you wash it off yes or no?
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:18
			What do you do? What would you say to somebody who instead of that wraps it into the jacket nicely
so it gets into the jacket
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			and sticking
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:26
			he doesn't wash it off. He keeps it there. And every once in a while he bends his head down spells
in Hey.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:34
			Every once in a while he spells it and he grievances and he makes noises What do you say to that
person?
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			Remember the garbage truck and the garbage truck driver is long gone. He doesn't even know what
happened.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45
			Who's willing that stink? Whose life is expiring
		
00:16:48 --> 00:17:01
			this is the example of what we do relationships. Somebody says something once we start piling we
keep it and we pull it out of the closet every time we want to hit the other person over the head
you know what you did that day?
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:04
			No I don't remember about it
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			I also apologize you forgot that
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			they do no we do this or we don't do this.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:26
			Everyone was and don't look at the back to the ladies section. No they do it as well. I know.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			We are we are equally guilty.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:33
			My brothers sisters really seriously.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:44
			Allah subhanaw taala gave us this life he gave us a beautiful life or Hamdulillah He gave us his
life with different things he gave us we live this life with something which are good and something
which are
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48
			I would say they're not good because they are the different thing.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:18:03
			Somebody asked me if you if you get a second vibe, I said no. He said why? I said because no matter
what you mean you marry and that same thing applies to the men. They give you the opportunity to do
to the opportunity to do two things make sugar makes our
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			both veggie when it makes sugar Allah blesses you will make some relevance to your handler.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:16
			So the next one you might want is will do the same thing you will also he or she will also give you
the same opportunities. What's the point? Yes.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:33
			Please think about this. Appreciation and forgiveness. Shocker. And towbar is the car and forgiving
people upon the Holy has asked for Wiley welcome Melissa Muslimeen first of all, in our work for
him.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:19:12

either Mohammed. Mohammed go so later I Rahim, Allah. Majid, along with ADA gala Mohamed Anwar Ali
Mohamed camara de Rahim Allah
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			my brother and sisters.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:31
			One of the greatest tests and one of the greatest calamities was the slander against say the ICD
Hara Golan Ahmed.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			We know the whole story is I will not tell you the story.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:50
			But one of the things that happened and of course as I said this, Rana was exonerated. And Allah
subhanho wa Taala is the one who revealed Quran
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:55
			to say that she was not guilty of what they slandered or with.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			And Allah subhanaw taala prescribed
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:08
			punishment for those who did that slander. So today if somebody denies this they are denying the
Quran as simple as that.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:18
			Now one of the people who slandered say that she said this, Alana was a man who was related to say
that Abu Bakr Siddiq how they are and who and he was a poor man I
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:30
			used to help him financially. So when say then Abu Bakr see the raga, Lando realized and understood
and he knew that this man did that. He said, I will. I want nothing.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:36
			I will not support him, quite understandably because if somebody is slandering your daughter what
you do
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:38
			what happened?
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:57
			And this is among the father of Abu Bakr Sidious or the law no as well. Allah subhanaw taala
revealed Quran Allah Sumatera said the famous I had Spargel Adams the note Allah said wala, yet
utterly all on fatherly men calm.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:08
			Those of you who have been blessed by Allah subhanaw taala so I'm not saying that Abu Bakar radula
no is somebody who Allah has blessed
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:29
			while I tell you all fatherly men calm was Sati Are you too old Cordoba Well, masa Kena well muhajir

00:21:31 --> 00:21:55
			Citizen beautiful eyes, and those are our data set and do not let let not those among you who are
blessed who have been blessed with the grace of Allah subhanaw taala and wealth, let them not swear
not to help their kinsmen the Messiah key in the poor and those who left their homes for the sake of
Allah subhanaw taala the YG role, let them pardon and forgive.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:22:04
			Do not love that Allah subhanaw taala should forgive you. And Allah Subhana Allah Allah is oft
forgiving, Most Merciful.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:38
			My brothers and sisters, Abdul Rahman now for the line who said the soul asylum said there are three
things concerning which by the one in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam
I would certainly swear an oath. What are the things wealth does not decrease because of charity. So
give charity, no person pardons another for some mistreatment, seeking thereby the pleasure of Allah
for the sake of Allah, but Allah will raise him in status by that. And no one asks from people, no
one
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:44
