00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			You will not succeed if you look at
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			it from just one angle. I have one
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			issue. I have this thing. It's not happening
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			in my life. So what if it's not
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			happening? Keep trying.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			Be reasonable and don't just accept anything and
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			everything that comes in you in your direction.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			Some people when they are desperate, they say,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			No no, let me just take it. It's
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			okay.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:20
			No.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			Aim a little bit high. Don't miss your
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			life. You might just jump from the frying
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			pan to the fire.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			It's okay if something has happened in my
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			life and I don't have
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			what I wanted to have. It's okay,
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			for as long as I'm okay. I have
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			food, I have drink, I have shelter, I
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			have I have a comfort zone around me.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			Subhanallah, look at the others today in war
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			zones. And where are the war zones? It's
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			not just palestine, by the way.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			Although that is the crisis of the Ummah
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			at the moment, but there's a problem in
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			sudan,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			where it's unbelievable
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:57
			how
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			brothers are killing each other.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			Again,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			if you were to study it carefully,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			there is a hand that is playing in
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:08
			there,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			making them kill each other. You really think
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			people just kill each other without a third
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:13
			party?
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			Especially brothers.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			Look at the countries that have been destroyed
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			one after the other. May Allah Almighty protect
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:23
			us all.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			May Allah make us appreciate what we have,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			the peace and stability. We should hold on
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			to it.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			And that's why even if we have differences
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			amongst ourselves,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			we should never allow
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			these differences
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			to result
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:40
			in
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			physical harm of someone else.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			Never.
