			You're right, there actually is no complete fix.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			It is called the Tawfiq of Allah Azza
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:18
			wa Jal.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			It's His Divine Grace.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25
			And that is why you want to show
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			Him your brokenness.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			That is why Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam said, رَبِّ
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			اجْعَلْنِي مُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةِ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِي Oh my Lord,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			make me of those who establish prayer, me
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			and my children, and many from my children.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			Because even Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam, with all his
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			sacrifices and accolades, will not even perform Salah.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			Only Allah makes people perform Salah.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			Only Allah empowers, inspires, strengthens people towards those
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			ranks of guidance.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			And so the Dua is the most important
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:55
			thing.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			The Prophet ﷺ said, Oh Mu'adh, I
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			love you.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02
			And so never falter in saying, never overlook
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06
			saying at the back end of every prayer,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			اللهم اعني على ذكرك وشكرك وحسن عبادتك Oh
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			Allah, help me remember you, and thank you,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			and worship you beautifully.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			And so speaking to Allah Azza wa Jal
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			is a big part of that.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			Secondly, Allah already answered that Dua for you
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			by giving you the guidance of the Qur
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			'an and Sunnah.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			How much focus is there on the Qur
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			'an about the Qur'an?
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			That it is the rope that will save
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:29
			you from drowning.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			How much focus is there on the Qur
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			'an?
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			Very wide strokes here, very wide themes.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			I'm not going to cite anything particular about
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:40
			the importance of the right environment, atmosphere, friends.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			And even, you know, they talk about atomic
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			habits or ways to break bad habits or
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			start good habits.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			One of the good advices also, and this
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			fits perfectly in line with the Qur'an
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			saying, associate with people that are already doing
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:51
			it.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			It says find something stable in your life,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58
			and then associate with it whatever you want
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:58
			to stabilize.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			So let's say I want to say my
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			Adhkar in the morning.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			What do I do every morning?
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			What's the one thing that doesn't change?
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:06
			I drive.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			Okay, so I'm going to do my Adhkar
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:08
			in the drive.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			So it's of the ways to develop that
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
			sense of accomplishment and get the wheels turning.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			With one sense of accomplishment, you find the
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:21
			confidence or the encouragement, the incentive to acquire
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			another, and so on and so forth, and
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			Allah Azzawajal knows best.
