AI: Summary ©
A speaker describes a situation where a colleague suggests that if someone is comfortable with a task, they should say "has a great experience" before realizing they are just trying to get out of it. They imagine someone in a club where they say "has a great experience" and then ask the person what they have done, to which the response is given as "has a great experience" and they say "has a great experience" before realizing they are just trying to leave.

I learnt a good 1 from 1 of
my colleagues.
He says, if you want to know
if something is good,
you should be
able
to
say,
When you start doing it, and when you
are finished with it, you should be able
to say, Alhamdulillah.
Then it's a good thing.
I imagine you are lighting a cigarette.
You want to put in your mouth, are
you going to say bismillah?
You can't say Bismillah because the minute you
say Bismillah, it will drop from between your
lips. It's on the floor.
Imagine you take a puff,
I don't even want to say it. I
don't even want to say it.
I don't even want to say it. Can
it be a good thing?
Like imagine someone going to the club, they
say, Bismillah, Bismillah, I'm entering. No. No. No.
Not at all. Only you come to that
which is good, you say, Bismillah.
You want to know if what you are
doing is good, you must be able to
say Bismillah when you are starting. And when
you are done with it, you must say,
Alhamdulillah. Then you know you have done something
good.
