belong under Al Hamdulillah Alameen wa sallahu wa salam ala should have been a mega mousseline.
Mohamed Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi, WA and it was so seldom does lumen cathedral cathedra
from
out of my money walk
on Saturday, which is a holiday on service.
And
it's early morning, the weather prediction is for rain later in the morning and in the afternoon, all the way into the night.
weather predictions here are pretty accurate
to the almost to the exact minute, definitely the hour. So I'm out
with a hat without an umbrella hat because of the sun.
Which one of the
what comes to the packaging with a clean atmosphere is high ultraviolet radiation. And the sun is basically sun rays are basically extremely harmful.
So it's not a good idea to expose yourself to the sun,
sunbathing and so on which
white people do is
one of the primary causes of skin cancer.
Of course, they use sunscreens and so on, which I guess is a bit helps, but
it's not something that
that is recommended. So it's much better to stay out of the sun
or at least to make sure that you are adequately
sure shaded.
So my hat is for that reason.
I'm already transferred on it the time.
Then
the rest of the atmosphere the place here is so beautiful. The roadsides are like gardens,
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
wildflowers is unbelievable.
All kinds of colors, whites and purples and yellows and so on. And
if I didn't know about Allah, I would say that the distribution is magical. Because it's never wrong.
The color combinations the
mix
the flowers is never wrong.
It looks beautiful, no matter what the mix is.
So it's not magical. It is a whole lot of my Rob gelato.
Who made it so that we can remember him through his eyes.
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
la Maga I mean Johanna I mean what do you love insha Allah.
So
I go on these walks.
Almost always alone. I like to walk alone. I do not like company when I'm walking.
And
this is my time for contemplation for reflection for vehicles
for taking some notes
for listening to something useful, but mostly I don't listen I just think and I
reflected
though because
this is not to tell you what I do it is
to remind you of what you can do.
In general, we can all do this and we should all do this.
Walking is the one exercise which needs nothing because Allah made yours and he made gravity so
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.
Just a matter of putting your feet on it.
To give you an idea after coming to America, thanks to the call here in Massachusetts i My osteoarthritis which
also generally again inherited
flare up.
First year I was fine second year, started seeing some signs of this
See continuous pain
my walking distance reduced drastically You won't believe how introduced and
third and knows the 40s or third year it was it got to the point where
if I walked
not even half a kilometer, I mean less than that
I would cramp up, I'd just freeze
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.
If I walked slowly to three minute walk
in that thing, I got cramped up.
And I was thinking to myself that
you know, this is not nice to become
handicapped like this.
But what to do
the, my legs started losing strength by arm started losing strength
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
almost the whole time. So I work like
12 hours a day, seven days a week, at least. So
I'm at the desk and on that whole 12 hours is sitting at the desk
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.
At least they do for me. So none of that was doable.
And obviously the results are bad. And as severe back pain in all kinds of stuff. And on the low you have
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.
And
then hopefully, the pain will go away is the sciatica also and
then if it gets worse than that then we have looked at surgery.
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
he told me so I said okay, this picture is clear. It's not the picture I want to see but that's clear.
So when I came here to Bennington, I found
the kitchen did not have even the halal food towards two or three times a week they serve
meat or chicken
and it's labeled callous, but when I checked, I found that it is not the beer.
It's machines routers, machines water is haram
so
what I put myself on regimen
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
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
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.
So I have
that supporting TOEFL and
an x and then whatever vegetarians think they have the serve the sticky rice which they have the temerity to call basmati
in Allah when Allah
so
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.
And the biggest realization for me is that food is not important. And believe me for Hyderabadi
who was
I won't say addicted but you know who thinks that
otherwise the biryani is worthy of being mentioned in my hotbar and I mentioned it more than twice
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.
So I'm reading this, I have put myself on a schedule where I walk
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.
Yesterday I walked to six point something miles. So I'm doing this
I'm also doing weights in the gym for about 45 minutes to an hour and 45 minutes not
and the result is hamdulillah me
osteoarthritis doesn't go away. It's a degenerative disease and it only gets worse
if you are that way inclined if there is genetic predisposition to that or if
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.
And it only gets worse the longer you live it can only go one way and the results but
the effects of it on a daily basis this is in our control 100
So what has happened now is
my weight I've lost in five weeks I lost four kilos for four points on NICUs
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.
Then my obviously strengthened my legs and my arms and so on, has hugely improved.
And my stamina has also hungry ly improved to this extent. And not my
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.
So on my childhood by growing up years to fully
I was known as YAHWAH Yeah, hopefully our walks Have you
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
and what back I mean, you know, this is the days in schools
not only transport I walked at times and believe it or not between the back of
the
back of children palace and it wasn't KBR Park in those days it was a big wall. It was kulturen palace and
Gordon afford
the only habitation that I passed through was a piece of toilet jockey that came in between and
the few houses around the hood of chattels
that's it otherwise all the way
from the back of John Paris to Bergen afford was just open land.
And you know,
I have seen in that in that walk,
peacocks and
uncountable me I don't even know how many
black named hair which is rabbits,
wild boar. And on two occasions leopards
this used to be horrible.
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
In the Gregorian solar calendar, I'm 68
and
in the 20th of this October,
if I live that long, I will get into ethics in it. So
lesson for myself is that there is no age for
putting yourself in trouble.
There is no
As to change your waist
is no edge to.
And I'm thinking specifically with reference to this and we'll dispense with reference to other bodies.
We have the thing up Kakkar status on Friday tomorrow. Tomorrow it didn't cover my hair today.
Sunday Omar who veto Southern Baptist.
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.
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,
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,
so strong legs means no wheelchair. So decide which one you like more.
I just go to a
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.
And ask yourself if you like that.
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.
The Time won't end or what you can call life.
here because the which
literally what you could really call life will be finished
my strong suggestion and request an integer
is don't do it.
For those of you who are listening to this with concentration, and if you need go back
time, the
time the span
between cars passing.
I've been walking now I think from the Academy
from the college I'm now about roughly
maybe two miles away
and three cars past me.
So you can watch you can imagine what a peaceful environment this is
the law so this is why
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.
But yeah,
it gave me that thought back back again. And he made me do it.
So here I am
on my walking on my money walk and it's a cloudy sky.
flowers everywhere. I'll send you some pictures
and hamdulillah all I can hear is birdsong.
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.
They love hearing them Salah
so I saw and said I'll leave mnemonic up there must have had their daughter centered me the
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
so that's what I'm up to. So, key realizations, takeaways from this.
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.
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.
And none of this can be done once you're dead.
So let's understand that, right? Let's understand in your life, literally means that anytime in your life. It's not any day after you're dead. So the time to begin is now right now. So stop listening and do something about
the fantastic Golden Oriole which
She took off so in front of me what kind of Sahaba
one of the nice things are that people have I want this every car that passes with you.
So beautiful country, this part of the country and very nice people.
Okay, I think I should stop talking.
Was Allah Allah Allah Allah will Karim Allah Allah He was
