Mufti Menk – Protect yourself before you get contaminated

			shaitan comes to us and makes us think perhaps, that we may not be forgiven, don't fall in that
trap. But today, I want to take it from there. Now that I'm forgiven now that I feel so energized,
what is it that I need to do, we have a few issues we need to talk about. Because sitting here, it
might feel so good, I might be softened, I might really feel I need to change or I believe I have
changed. The minute you walk out and go back into your circles. And everything, you know, flows as
it was, you tend to forget. And over time, what happens, you might slide back into where you were,
in order to avoid that.
		

			Together with the determination that you have, right now, you need to make a few changes in your
life, starting with the circle that you crews in all the people that you move with. If that company
was what caused you to distance from Allah, then surely it needs changing unless you can impact on
it to change, which is rare. It's very rare for us to be able to change company that is toxic.
		

			Unless you're a mentor, or you really are very good at it or you're the leader of the pack. You
know, they say when the main gangster becomes a person who's practicing the little gangsters will
all come with him because they're all the gangsters will be in the first stuff now. Right? And
Marcelo Allahu Akbar. There we are, all the gangsters are standing there. Everyone's looking those
guys were in the places and now they're in the main place the Masjid. Right. But if you're not the
leader, and you don't have that level, you need to realize without changing circles, you're not
going to have a long term effect and impact on you. The change that you want to bring about within
		

			you is not going to really be meaningful. So start looking into who you are going to interact with
more and who you are going to either cut out completely immediately or, over time, minimize with
them, and protect yourself from being contaminated once again.
