00:00:00 --> 00:00:01 
			We work on our qualities. We need to
00:00:01 --> 00:00:03 
			have, we need to have a feeling towards
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06 
			others, a positive feeling. Sometimes people do negative
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08 
			things to you, really, really nasty things.
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11 
			And I want to take a moment to
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12 
			address that today.
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15 
			People do nasty things. How should you,
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18 
			how should you process that? Number 1, protect
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19 
			yourself from that.
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22 
			So you don't need to keep on, you
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24 
			know, being in the company of those who
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26 
			are really causing harm to you. If you
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28 
			can help them and you're a mentor or
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30 
			you're a teacher or you're a person who's
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33 
			trained to help others or you think you
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36 
			can, by all means keep on interacting and
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 
			help them and help them to come out
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40 
			of it. That is level 1. That is
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42 
			the top of all if you are and
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43 
			you can.
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44 
			To a degree
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46 
			now, I can.
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49 
			I don't mind interacting with haters.
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50 
			I really don't mind. But
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53 
			there's a point because we are human beings,
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54 
			it starts affecting
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55 
			us.
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58 
			And it bothers you. And it starts affecting
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59 
			your health.
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02 
			At that juncture you need to know,
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04 
			together with seeking the protection
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07 
			of Allah from this type of
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09 
			behavior and these type of people,
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12 
			you need to step back because a believer
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14 
			is not bitten from the same direction twice.
