00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 
			The reason why I said distractions for the
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04 
			ones who are slightly older, sometimes Allah
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07 
			tests us with some distractions.
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11 
			And sometimes shaitan comes and he makes us
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12 
			distracted.
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 
			We start looking at other people's lives and
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16 
			talking about other people in a negative way.
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19 
			Big people do that too. Young people do
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21 
			that too. Don't make little circles and take
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22 
			out one girl and say, no. She's not
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24 
			in my group. She's not in our group.
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25 
			And you make it tough for her. I'm
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27 
			giving you a real life example.
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29 
			You know, the same thing happens with boys.
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31 
			This guy is not in our circle. He's
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33 
			like this like that. So what we pick
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35 
			on someone, we say nasty words to them.
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37 
			We tell them how ugly they are when
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38 
			they're not really ugly. We're the ones who
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40 
			are ugly because the only people who are
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43 
			ugly are the ones who call others ugly.
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45 
			It's the ugliness that makes you say someone
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47 
			else is ugly. So don't say that because
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48 
			in the eyes of Allah, he created us
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49 
			all beautifully.
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53 
			So, therefore, don't ever call someone else in
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55 
			a bad way to hurt their feelings. You're
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57 
			gonna grow old. You know when I was
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58 
			at the University of Madinah,
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00 
			we had some friends.
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03 
			And a lot of them became ministers, prime
00:01:03 --> 00:01:03 
			ministers,
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07 
			top notch people across the world. And when
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08 
			I sit and think, wow. This guy used
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10 
			to sit right next to me. I have
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12 
			colleagues who are imams of the haram. Imams
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14 
			of the haram studied with me. And I'm
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16 
			thinking to myself, gosh. We didn't even know
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18 
			that this guy is gonna graduate and become
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21 
			someone really that we would be embarrassed that
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22 
			one day we had a fight with him.
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24 
			I'm not saying I had a fight with
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25 
			anyone, but I'm giving you an example. Right?
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27 
			So the same applies. I'm giving you the
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28 
			same
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32 
			lesson to say make life easy for others.
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33 
			Speak with respect.
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36 
			Give people, you know, good vibes, not bad
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37 
			vibes inshallah.
