			belong under Al Hamdulillah Alameen wa sallahu wa salam ala should have been a mega mousseline.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:13
			Mohamed Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi, WA and it was so seldom does lumen cathedral cathedra
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:14
			from
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			out of my money walk
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			on Saturday, which is a holiday on service.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			And
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:34
			it's early morning, the weather prediction is for rain later in the morning and in the afternoon,
all the way into the night.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			weather predictions here are pretty accurate
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:46
			to the almost to the exact minute, definitely the hour. So I'm out
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52
			with a hat without an umbrella hat because of the sun.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			Which one of the
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:10
			what comes to the packaging with a clean atmosphere is high ultraviolet radiation. And the sun is
basically sun rays are basically extremely harmful.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:17
			So it's not a good idea to expose yourself to the sun,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			sunbathing and so on which
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			white people do is
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			one of the primary causes of skin cancer.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:35
			Of course, they use sunscreens and so on, which I guess is a bit helps, but
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			it's not something that
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			that is recommended. So it's much better to stay out of the sun
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			or at least to make sure that you are adequately
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			sure shaded.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			So my hat is for that reason.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			I'm already transferred on it the time.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:01:59
			Then
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:10
			the rest of the atmosphere the place here is so beautiful. The roadsides are like gardens,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:22
			much better planted than they would have been. Had they been planted by human beings because this is
a lot of answers gardening and the variety of
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			wildflowers is unbelievable.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:33
			All kinds of colors, whites and purples and yellows and so on. And
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:45
			if I didn't know about Allah, I would say that the distribution is magical. Because it's never
wrong.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			The color combinations the
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			mix
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			the flowers is never wrong.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			It looks beautiful, no matter what the mix is.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			So it's not magical. It is a whole lot of my Rob gelato.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:08
			Who made it so that we can remember him through his eyes.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:16
			And that is what he said in a vehicle this hour to a lot of the work to leveleleven Aha the IRT
Khalid Al Bab
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23
			la Maga I mean Johanna I mean what do you love insha Allah.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			So
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			I go on these walks.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:36
			Almost always alone. I like to walk alone. I do not like company when I'm walking.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			And
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			this is my time for contemplation for reflection for vehicles
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			for taking some notes
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:57
			for listening to something useful, but mostly I don't listen I just think and I
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			reflected
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:01
			though because
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			this is not to tell you what I do it is
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			to remind you of what you can do.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			In general, we can all do this and we should all do this.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:21
			Walking is the one exercise which needs nothing because Allah made yours and he made gravity so
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:29
			you don't have to get out of your bed in your hole and you start walking you won't fly because there
is gravity and the earth is always there no matter where you are.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			Just a matter of putting your feet on it.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:46
			To give you an idea after coming to America, thanks to the call here in Massachusetts i My
osteoarthritis which
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			also generally again inherited
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			flare up.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			First year I was fine second year, started seeing some signs of this
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			See continuous pain
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:10
			my walking distance reduced drastically You won't believe how introduced and
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:17
			third and knows the 40s or third year it was it got to the point where
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			if I walked
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			not even half a kilometer, I mean less than that
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			I would cramp up, I'd just freeze
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:37
			and I wouldn't be able to walk anymore. And this happened to me a couple of times, literally in the
budget from my, from my house to the masjid is a two minute walk.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			If I walked slowly to three minute walk
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			in that thing, I got cramped up.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			And I was thinking to myself that
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			you know, this is not nice to become
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			handicapped like this.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:56
			But what to do
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:03
			the, my legs started losing strength by arm started losing strength
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:14
			and general condition, I mean, you know, and obviously, I started putting on weight because weight
because, I mean, I said, my work is at the desk, I'm writing
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			almost the whole time. So I work like
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:24
			12 hours a day, seven days a week, at least. So
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			I'm at the desk and on that whole 12 hours is sitting at the desk
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:44
			because every 10 minutes 20 minutes was get up and walk and all that all this is charity never
works. Especially not for creative work, when you are writing, your writing, the thoughts are
flowing, you get up and start watching the thoughts also flowing.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:49
			At least they do for me. So none of that was doable.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:58
			And obviously the results are bad. And as severe back pain in all kinds of stuff. And on the low you
have
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:13
			a beautiful friend and my dear friend and he's also my primary care physician not satisfied he
examined everything and he told me with you know the choices that I can give you an injection in
your spine.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:15
			And
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:24
			then hopefully, the pain will go away is the sciatica also and
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28
			then if it gets worse than that then we have looked at surgery.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:37
			That was not a very nice picture. What I like about Dr. Saad is he speaks the truth he doesn't, you
know, he doesn't close it in chocolate and so on. So
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:45
			he told me so I said okay, this picture is clear. It's not the picture I want to see but that's
clear.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			So when I came here to Bennington, I found
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:59
			the kitchen did not have even the halal food towards two or three times a week they serve
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			meat or chicken
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:08
			and it's labeled callous, but when I checked, I found that it is not the beer.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			It's machines routers, machines water is haram
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:14
			so
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			what I put myself on regimen
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:32
			from now it's just always five weeks or three weeks ago and my regimen is I'm completely vegetarian.
I eat tofu I boiled eggs because the skillets and pans are not
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:50
			are not exclusive. So they sell bacon every morning for breakfast. So I don't eat anything which is
fried eggs and so on. So boiled eggs, tofu, they sell a lot of dough for more tofu here than I've
ever eaten in my life and I certainly
		
00:08:52 --> 00:09:02
			do not intend to eat any more tofu. Anyone who comes close to me with TOEFL is going to have some
face some serious consequences from me in the future so please be warned.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			So I have
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			that supporting TOEFL and
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:21
			an x and then whatever vegetarians think they have the serve the sticky rice which they have the
temerity to call basmati
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			in Allah when Allah
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:26
			so
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:44
			so I eat one meal in 24 hours at six o'clock 6pm is when this update that's that's the new law each
no work was nothing in between just this one meal in 24 hours. I eat fruit is nice fruit.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:53
			And the biggest realization for me is that food is not important. And believe me for Hyderabadi
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			who was
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			I won't say addicted but you know who thinks that
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:05
			otherwise the biryani is worthy of being mentioned in my hotbar and I mentioned it more than twice
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:16
			for me to say something like food is unimportant. And believe me, this is a huge change in
perception and hamdulillah I'm very happy that this perception and perception happened.
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:22
			So I'm reading this, I have put myself on a schedule where I walk
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:53
			an average of or at least on average, at least five miles a day. I think about this here, I was in a
situation where I couldn't walk more than they told me less than or less than half a kilometer. And
I'm walking five miles, eight kilometers every day. My record until now has been 7.7 miles the other
day I went for a walk in the forest and all up and down and so on.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:59
			Yesterday I walked to six point something miles. So I'm doing this
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:08
			I'm also doing weights in the gym for about 45 minutes to an hour and 45 minutes not
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			and the result is hamdulillah me
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:20
			osteoarthritis doesn't go away. It's a degenerative disease and it only gets worse
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:26
			if you are that way inclined if there is genetic predisposition to that or if
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:36
			you know, whichever way the will of allies to test we ask Allah to save us from all the tests then
you will get it if you get it he doesn't go away.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:43
			And it only gets worse the longer you live it can only go one way and the results but
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:50
			the effects of it on a daily basis this is in our control 100
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			So what has happened now is
		
00:11:55 --> 00:12:00
			my weight I've lost in five weeks I lost four kilos for four points on NICUs
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:09
			I was hoping to lose 20 kilos in five weeks but I think that's not a good idea. Anyway Allah
subhanaw taala decide what is best so four point something kilos.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:17
			Then my obviously strengthened my legs and my arms and so on, has hugely improved.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:25
			And my stamina has also hungry ly improved to this extent. And not my
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:34
			best dream did I imagined that I would well I mean I have walked in my life I was known to to be
washed away a walker.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:39
			So on my childhood by growing up years to fully
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			I was known as YAHWAH Yeah, hopefully our walks Have you
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:59
			heard about this? I walked from the top of Windsor hills from behind John Palace, Jr. Park from
behind KBR park all the way to Golconda fort. I walked out twice
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			and what back I mean, you know, this is the days in schools
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:12
			not only transport I walked at times and believe it or not between the back of
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			the
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:23
			back of children palace and it wasn't KBR Park in those days it was a big wall. It was kulturen
palace and
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			Gordon afford
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:35
			the only habitation that I passed through was a piece of toilet jockey that came in between and
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:40
			the few houses around the hood of chattels
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			that's it otherwise all the way
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:52
			from the back of John Paris to Bergen afford was just open land.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			And you know,
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59
			I have seen in that in that walk,
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			peacocks and
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			uncountable me I don't even know how many
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			black named hair which is rabbits,
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:14
			wild boar. And on two occasions leopards
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			this used to be horrible.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:27
			Anyway to come back to this. So my big realization in life is that and hunger today in the history
in the history Canada and now 70
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:34
			In the Gregorian solar calendar, I'm 68
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			and
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			in the 20th of this October,
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:46
			if I live that long, I will get into ethics in it. So
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:54
			lesson for myself is that there is no age for
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:57
			putting yourself in trouble.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			There is no
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			As to change your waist
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			is no edge to.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:12
			And I'm thinking specifically with reference to this and we'll dispense with reference to other
bodies.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:19
			We have the thing up Kakkar status on Friday tomorrow. Tomorrow it didn't cover my hair today.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:24
			Sunday Omar who veto Southern Baptist.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:38
			So think about this, or what can we do you know our time is over. If your time is over, it would be
in your grave. Right they would upgrade and as on you and you will be nervous. Time is not over
until it is over.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:50
			Allah subhanaw taala creators created us for a certain lifespan and we will live that lifespan, what
he gave into our choices how we want to live the lifespan. If you want to live the last part of your
life,
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:59
			in a hospital bed on a wheelchair, that's your choice. And that will happen to you without a doubt
if your legs go weak,
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:06
			so strong legs means no wheelchair. So decide which one you like more.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			I just go to a
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:23
			store that sells wheelchairs and look at all the nice fancy models the the motorized ones and
whatnot. The wheelchair that drives you to your shop and right mix coffee for you or something I
don't know what they do.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			And ask yourself if you like that.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:40
			Your choice you want to have that no problem. Keep sitting on your cinnabar forever walking here
saying made it to the New York automobile company that was Monica Tamati. Just because Nikki bolts
like they will have the ability.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44
			The Time won't end or what you can call life.
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			here because the which
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:54
			literally what you could really call life will be finished
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:00
			my strong suggestion and request an integer
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			is don't do it.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:13
			For those of you who are listening to this with concentration, and if you need go back
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:15
			time, the
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			time the span
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			between cars passing.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:27
			I've been walking now I think from the Academy
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:32
			from the college I'm now about roughly
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			maybe two miles away
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			and three cars past me.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:42
			So you can watch you can imagine what a peaceful environment this is
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			the law so this is why
		
00:17:47 --> 00:18:06
			my realization for myself. One is that you can turn around your life and believe we all have this,
this whole thing hamdulillah Allah subhanaw taala put this in my heart. When I came here, suddenly I
decided this is what I'm going to do. And I think it was me one day, I had this opportunity so I
just didn't use it.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			But yeah,
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:14
			it gave me that thought back back again. And he made me do it.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:16
			So here I am
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:24
			on my walking on my money walk and it's a cloudy sky.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:29
			flowers everywhere. I'll send you some pictures
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			and hamdulillah all I can hear is birdsong.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:47
			Lots and lots and lots of small birds here in America huge number of small birds and they all have
voices and they are all constantly engaged in the legal philosophy.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			They love hearing them Salah
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:58
			so I saw and said I'll leave mnemonic up there must have had their daughter centered me the
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:08
			language of the Burj but of course I am not. I don't understand the language of Burj Burj, we know
they make the Coronado hotel. And
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:14
			so that's what I'm up to. So, key realizations, takeaways from this.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:27
			You can turn your life around absolutely at any time of the day or night. applies to physical, which
is what I was talking about applies also to attitudes applies to behavior.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:34
			You can decide to pray at any time in your life, you can decide to make a foreign throw and turn
towards Allah subhanaw taala anytime in your life.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:39
			And none of this can be done once you're dead.
