Mufti Menk – Discover the Book Within

			Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh my brothers, my sisters this evening, I'm here on this live
session in order to let you know something amazing. So, the sisters out there, a lot of the times we
have something we want to say, we have a story we want to tell. We want to share it with people, we
want to share it with perhaps generations to come. We'd like to say things so that others can learn
from our experience. We have so much perhaps up for our children or whoever else it may be well,
Sister Nyima be Robert and I'm sure we've heard her name she is a well known author, originally from
Zimbabwe, mashallah she has done so much of work, she has a challenge for you. She is offering a
		

			five day course on how to discover the book within you. Because obviously, by you, writing by you
putting pen on paper, and expressing what exactly you're going through or what you have gone through
or what you'd like to say or the experiences, people should not silence you, they should rather have
the opportunity to learn from you. So she is going to join us in a few moments in sha Allah, and she
is going to talk about this it is totally free. So there is no excuse to say I didn't know how to
put pen on paper. I didn't know how to discover what I had within me. You should write and you
should ensure that your story is heard. And at the same time make sure that you've benefited from
		

			courses like this. And you know it's amazing how Allah Almighty grants so much in terms of goodness,
when people are serious about benefiting others. So Masha Allah Tabata kala I think we're going to
be
		

			joined by her in a few moments and here goes
		

			you know, whenever we have opportunities of this nature, what happens usually is that people don't
take these seriously, but here we are with an opportunity mashallah Salam aleikum wa Alaikum salaam
wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh How are you brother? Do you make very well thank you Masha Allah
Tabarrok Allah I just started with a short intro. I don't know if you're caught a bit of it. But I
want to know about this beautiful challenge that you have for the sisters. And what is it that you
want to achieve by this by sha Allah Insha Allah, Allah Paden, so Bismillah Salam Alaikum everyone,
first thing I want to apologize to the brothers. I have to apologize to the brothers because I know
		

			they they too have stories to tell. They have messages, they have knowledge they want to share. But
this opportunity, I'm sorry, Brothers is for the sisters. And what I will be doing if you know you
guys know Mashallah. Mufti and I, you know, written a book together to Hamdulillah. I am a writer,
and I've had almost 30 books published now. And I help other women to write books. So next week,
Inshallah, from the Monday to Friday, 23rd, to the 27th, I'm going to be coaching my sisters for
three, and every sister out there who has a story to tell, who has a message to share with the world
or has some knowledge, some beneficial knowledge that she wants to spread, and she thinks she may be
		

			able to put it into a book, Inshallah, I'm going to show her how to do it. So all the sisters from
all around the world are invited for this free online challenge, discover the book within.com
		

			Discover the book within.com. So can I ask the first question, what if a sister has a story? And she
doesn't know whether or not it's worth, you know, writing or worth putting down on paper? How would
she be able to know that? I love that question. And we are going to be actually showing people
breaking down how you can know that your story is something worth sharing, but I'll for the people
who are on here, mashallah, there's 1000s of people watching. So I want to give them a little bit of
benefit now that we're online. The way to know if you have a story to tell whether your story is
worth telling, is there's one there's two things firstly, is your story relevant to other people in
		

			any way? And does it resonate with people in any way? So your story, whatever it is, it's maybe a
challenge that you went through. Maybe it's a period of your life where you had certain experiences.
Maybe it's a success that you had, maybe it's an adventure you went on, right? Maybe it's your
history or your family history, those stories, do they have relevance and resonance for other
people? And those people
		

			Paul mufti, they could be your children and your grandchildren, they could be your local community,
you know, it could be your people in your country, it could be people all around the world, as long
as your story has relevance, and it resonates with people, and it brings something of here, it
brings something of benefits something of either information, or motivation or inspiration, or
comfort or solace. Your story, if it resonates with people, it means it makes them feel something.
And of course, sorry, just to say the website, again, the to join,
		

			it's www dot discover the book within.com. And they can go to my Instagram page, obviously, and the
link is there. And they can just go on in sha Allah, all you need is your email. And all you need is
to join us online in sha Allah, and I'll be teaching all of these things, we're going to be looking
at helping people get clear on their ideas, helping them to improve their ideas as well, and showing
them what's possible, mostly because a lot of people hold themselves back, because they think that's
not for me.
		

			You know, I'm not that Sister, I'm not like that, you know, I'm not like Sister Nyima or like sister
so and so I could never do something like that. And I want to show with my sisters that Sis, you can
do anything you put your mind to by Allah's permission. And I want to show them the possibilities,
what they are capable of, and also the power of sharing your story and sharing your knowledge with
the world and the baraka, insha Allah that can come to you, if you do it with the right intention.
Yes, you know, when I first read about it, and then you told me about it, something came to my mind
that I'm going to share with you now and that is a lot of sisters struggle silently. And a lot of
		

			them have been through experiences that others could actually not only take a page from, but change
their lives by going through the way you navigated through your issues. And one of the things that I
was saying that that came to my mind is because of all the struggles that sisters go through,
silently, and sometimes they haven't had the opportunity to reach out to others, when they start
writing it, that relation of the pen and the paper, actually soothes them and heals them within if
it is something that was a problem and an issue. So that is something unique and amazing. Because
you know, we all have an urge to tell people our problems sometimes and we tell the wrong people at
		

			times. And at times, we end up confiding and making matters worse, confiding in the wrong people,
but
		

			you don't have to always write your proper name, you don't always have to, I'm sure you're gonna go
through all of that. But you can still say your story because people can benefit and by you relating
it to yourself on paper, to start with, you've already, you know, sort of healed and you've come out
of it, and you smile at the fact that there was some benefit. Allah made me go through all of this,
because he wanted me to reach out to the rest of mankind. Like, you know, the Hadith says the best
of men of mankind, those who are most beneficial to the rest, or to the, you know, to the rest of
mankind. So Alhamdulillah I would also, I would also like to encourage the sisters to say here is a
		

			free opportunity to learn about the book within and to be discovered, discovered the book
within.com, right. And to be able to learn how to write, to be able to get things done, to be able
to be coached, and to move ahead, Inshallah, and who knows, perhaps we can flood the markets with
all these beautiful books. And not only about, you know, negatives that you've been through, but the
positives and a lot of other subjects, things you've excelled in, it's when you share it with
others, you earn a great reward as well. So just a common law fair, my dear sister for joining me
today to let the people know it was very, very important that we let people know what exactly this
		

			was all about. So discover the book within.com And the the course is Monday to Friday, this coming
Monday to Friday, and inshallah it's open for all sisters, to join by the will of Allah subhanho wa
Taala Any closing words you'd like to say?
		

			Oh, I'm just that don't miss out on this opportunity. You know, when I was first when I before I
wrote from my sister's lips. I was alone. I didn't know any writers. Nobody really helped me I had
to figure it out by myself. And so now that there are sisters who are helping who are teaching who
are training, make take advantage of that. Make the most of that opportunity and join me next
