The sun is out. Can I take a
long time or should I finish up quickly?
Are you sure you want to sit in
the sun?
Yes. Okay.
I wanna tell you something. When I was
young just like you are,
I started memorizing the Quran with
my school. So I used to go to
school in the morning, and I used to
come back home and my father used to
teach me the Quran and it was not
easy. It was not easy. I used to
be a little bit lazy sometimes but my
father told me that everyone
who has achieved
anything in this world
was not lazy. They had to fight.
Fight laziness.
They had to fight laziness. They had to
do what? Lazy.
When you don't want to get up in
the morning and you force yourself to get
up in the morning
because you have to do something
constructive, that is called fighting?
Lazy. Fighting?
Lazy. Fighting laziness.
So you have to get up that's why
you're getting up, but because it's so cozy
you don't want to get up but you
don't you you don't do
what you feel
you want to do, but you do what
you have to do.
How many of you get up in the
morning for fajr? Put up your hands.
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.
Okay. I'm not going to say, but you
can put your hands down. I'm not going
to say put your hands up if you're
lazy in the morning, but I'm going to
tell you if you get up for salatul
fajr,
even if you're feeling lazy, then Insha'Allah you're
destined for success.
So who wants to succeed? Put up your
hands.
Well, you start off with which salah?
Put your hands down.
Masha'Allah.
So even if you're feeling lazy or it's
a cold morning
or there is no electricity
because we're in South Africa. Masha'Allah.
I used to say Zimbabwe before Sheikh.
And even if, subhanAllah,
it's
such a lovely dream that you're having. No
problem. Get up and you will get up
because you have to get up and you
have to fight.
Laziness. You have to fight what guys?
Laziness.
Even if you're lazy to say laziness right
now you have to say it. So you
have to fight what?
That's amazing.
That's amazing. If you want to succeed, you
fight laziness and then you don't give up.
