			isn't the law from the law salatu salam ala Rasulillah Allah Allah, Allah and my bad take one se la
Monica Warahmatullah wabarakatuh this Muhammad as you need and I don't know what to call these now.
Now that Ramadan is over and I don't know if you know the daily, the COVID daily huddles are going
to work but inshallah Donna will we'll figure it out. So today's reminder, I wanted to share with
you this is in surah, Nash
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:53
			surah number 94. And number seven, Allah subhanaw taala says that ie the fallout of death, sob just
this verse, Allah subhanaw taala says in this verse, the Darfur Alta fossa, and if you finish, then
stand up for worship for you that ferrata ferrata means you've come to an end FASAB then get up. So
when we look at what happened in the
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:32
			when the virus started spreading and stuff like that, the economy came to a screeching halt, came to
a screeching halt. If you see any sci fi, you know, TV series or something like that, if a spaceship
comes to a screeching halt, like everybody dies. And so when the economy comes to a screeching halt,
everyone just kind of like slams into the wall. And and we're kind of like living in this aftermath.
May Allah protect us that there's a lot of pain that comes from coming to a screeching halt. But I
want to bring you to Ramadan. When Ramadan comes to the end.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:49
			This happens to some people that you know, the great, we're going really fast are hyperdrive things
are going great going great going great going great. Hey, bad is going good. And then there's this
screeching halt. Right? It's like everything was squeaking and then
		
00:03:50 --> 00:04:33
			slammed into the wall. How does that what does that look like? That looks like Hey, I was praying
all my prayers. I was doing totally I was reading Quran every day I was you know, avoiding
backbiting I was doing this I was doing that. And then Ramadan came to an end and everything shuts
off. everything shuts off. Now it's understandable, maybe read, it comes along and people are
partying and stuff like that. And that's, you know, that's the essence of eat at a party
Hamdulillah. But after it is over and it's over now, we need to get back into the groove, the groove
of worshipping Allah subhanaw taala. Which brings us to this verse in alumna, Shakalaka Sadhak in
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:59
			the Surah. Allah subhana data says that You therefore have the funds that if you come and you
finished your duties, then stand up now there's three ways we can understand this as you look in the
books of Tafseer number one is understanding that when you come to the end of your day when you're
finished your duties so this is somebody who you know, they've gone to work they've done their
they've done their daily things now
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:41
			How the Knight has come upon them. It's time for them to stand and stand to Allah Spano Tata and
worship. So it's you've done your work now it's time to stand and worship Allah. Another way of
understanding this verse for you that fall off, when you come to an end is that when you're done
you're a baddha which is interesting when you finish it but other than stand up, raise your hands to
Allah subhanaw taala and make dua to stand up and make dua which is another Tafseer of this verse
for either for after you've come to the end, raise your hands. So that's like somebody has completed
their a Betta, and they raised their hand even you could say that Eid is like a raising of our hands
		
00:05:41 --> 00:06:25
			to Allah subhanaw taala This is our good deeds that we've presented to you all last month federal
law except and right, so making dua after a better another interpretation of our way of
understanding this verse that fell off the fansub is what I want to speak about today. And that is,
when you're done, you're a badda stand up and continue you're a badass. Now what does that mean? If
you've seen the citation of the Quran, when people finish reciting the entire Quran, you'll see that
there's like this tradition to start back from the beginning from certain bucks sort of fat so to
buckle up to read like the first five, six verses of Surah Al Baqarah. And then when you you know
		
00:06:25 --> 00:07:04
			say to your current teacher, why do we do this Quran teacher will say this is what Allah subhanaw
taala does is advising us via ferrata, when you've come to the end funds of get up and continue
doing it. And so you'll see also in Ramadan, one of the first things people start thinking about
when they finish their their a bed of Ramadan is they want to as the prophesy some guided us to get
back up and continue with their fasting, which is the six days of Shaohua. So I'm done. My Ramadan,
you know how to read. And now it's time to get back up and continue. And so the most beloved actions
and deeds to Allah subhanaw taala are those which are done consistently,
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:45
			even if they are small. And in the last two nights of Ramadan, I had this post, where I was like
getting freaked out about you know, what I don't want to miss even one minute and all these posts
about all, every minute is worth X amount of time. And if you even go to the bathroom, you know,
like I was saying about these Instagram posts that were just making people really anxious, I decided
to focus on consistency. Instead of telling myself I have to go, you know, go nuts on one of the
days, you know, and think this little further you know what, I'm gonna do a program a checklist of
things that I want to do in my bed for the last 10 nights to remember that and just be consistent
		
00:07:45 --> 00:08:27
			with it. And there were nights like the 27th night where I asked myself, hey, you know what, I could
do a lot more than this, I can do most or not a lot more. But I could do more than this. But I
focused on consistency. And I realized consistency shines when you lose motivation when you lose
motivation, but you have a consistent routine, you have a consistent routine. So on the 28th night
on the 29th night even the 30th nights there was no problem and me continuing my program because I
had focus on consistency rather than just you know big slam hyperdrive and then come to a slamming
stop. So you want to ask yourself this question as
		
00:08:28 --> 00:09:08
			as it has now passed and we want to take you work really hard in Ramadan. What are the actions that
you're going to stand back up into? Obviously you don't have to worship as intensely as you wish
them in Ramadan, however you should say You know what, I used to pray all night long now I'm going
to pray like to rock eyes at night. Or I used to read you know, I read the entire Quran in Ramadan.
I'm going to read like half a page each day and just make a consistent habit and one of the most
important things for those who've taken visioning and those who haven't is making dua I said this to
the students that in Ramadan time we make our doors at night in the middle of the night. And it
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:29
			builds a habit that outside of Ramadan. We're normally not awake at that time. And so you have to
build your dot time during the day. And so you should be building that up now building a DA habits.
Will law Tanana. That's my reminder for today. Somebody has some questions that somebody wants to
say to them. And then what's Ellen Altaf? I missed you man
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			from the family a man cash if Hussein oligomycin
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			for Friday I'm on zoo
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:42
			is that the Love?
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:50
			This question says how many times a birdie
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:59
			after you do you fast on Monday and Thursday during show while or the first six days of show up? So
it's any of the days of show? Well it does
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:25
			don't have to be the Monday Thursday, it doesn't have to be, you know, not the first day of show
Well, is it easy can't fast that day. But the days after that you can do all of your fast straight
up. Or you can do Mondays Thursdays, or as you wish. So this assistance of show, well, you don't you
can do it any way you want. I have a practical tip for those days of Chawan, I would open a note
		
00:10:27 --> 00:11:03
			like a note on my phone, and then I put 123456. And I call these like, you know, my six days of
Chawan. And then the days that I fast, I put, like a timestamp. I'll put like, number one, my
timestamp was, you know, Monday, May 26, or something, whatever it is, yeah. And then and then. So
that when you get to like the fifth, fifth day of show, well, you know, did I Fast Six as Fast Five
start to get confused. You open up your notepad and you realize, Hey, I know the exact dates and
what I did. So that's just a bonus for my tip.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:19
			I asked this question. I've been making some good habits, but slipping into my old bad ones. This is
does this mean it wasn't accepted?
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			No, it doesn't. So there's a comment.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			There's a common
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:53
			question that comes up that how do I know if my deeds were accepted? How do I know if my deeds are
accepted? And the common response is, you know, one of the signs that good deeds are accepted is
somebody follows it up with good deeds afterwards. And one of the signs may Allah protect us that
something wasn't accepted is that a person follows it up with really bad bad deeds afterwards. Now?
		
00:11:55 --> 00:12:36
			I don't so the problem is that people think that unless I'm perfect, then that means that Allah
subhanaw taala isn't answered my, you know, my da hasn't accepted from me. You have to realize that
nobody's perfect. And there's nobody that goes no matter how good you see somebody or outside in the
world, no matter who they are, that everybody has mistakes and everybody commit sins. It's just some
sins are more apparent, and some sins are more hidden. So everybody's got mistakes. Everybody commit
sins. So if somebody has a sin, that's a habit. So it's a bad sin habit, I think. Sins are not
unique. So every sin is going to be like, you know, habitual. Somebody might be like loose Tang or
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			something like that.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:58
			You need to do Toba to Allah subhanaw taala and then inshallah Tada it will turn into a good deed.
And in the event law, you just have to, you know, lesson from Ramadan is keep turning back to Allah
subhanaw taala keep doing Toba and Allah subhanaw taala wishes that and it was very happy when you
turn back to him. Allah Donna with repentance
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:00
			Alana
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:09
			and this is from our YouTube channel. Welcome YouTube. MB 1429.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:52
			I'm feeling a bit of a burnout, how do I deal with it. So if you're feeling burnt out, I got a great
tip for you burnt out, because I get it too. Sometimes in the middle of my head data, my mind
becomes overwhelmed. And I just sit down and just sit quietly for like five minutes and just let it
go. But here's here's a tip. Open up a notepad, I'm really big on the notepads and write down 20
things to zero 20 things that were on your mind 20 Things that are on your mind, it could be small,
it could be big, whatever is on your mind, just write it down point forms 20 things and say Oh, this
is on my mind. Next one and I want to do this and I need to change that I need to put air in my
		
00:13:52 --> 00:14:08
			tires and I need to this and just write it out. I think what you'll find is once you see it written
on paper or written on a notepad on your phone or something and it's not in your head, you might
find that that just really relaxes you. Because I think the burnout comes from
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:20
			if you're just talking about head if you're talking about burnout, which is no sleep, no food and
stuff like that, then maybe you need to drink more water and get some sleep. Alana
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:31
			Zachariah Highland Deena Hamdulillah. It was it was a very special visionary this year martial law a
lot of the law
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			Visionaire seminar the changing
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:45
			alarms question Are there going to be any lectures or series you plan to do besides the visionary
seminar
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:59
			visionary seminar that you do? Yeah we're going to be doing one soon inshallah Tata called
Dreamwalker which is kind of like a sister class to it. Tyre camel place your trust in Allah I'm
adata visionair my focus in
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:45
			Vision is about placing your trust in Allah with the DA. But then I see that there are doors that
you need to take strategic solid action. And for years and years, I would be like I would just make
dua but I wouldn't take action I didn't know how to take action. And so I finally you know, settle
down and design a course taking like science and all of these things on how do you take action? How
do you deliver for example, like companies that need to deliver the iPhone or deliver a product they
have to make sure that they have systems in place so that things get done? Yes. So in our own minds,
we can learn from those water what's the science of getting something done? That's of course teach
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:57
			called Dreamwalker we're actually going to be launching it very soon inshallah Tada to follow up
with people who have taken made your eyes and they want to take strategic action Saltado Jim Walker,
we'll be starting soon
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			we'll do like five more minutes and then we'll be done in Charlotte, Donna
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:14
			five minutes 40 minutes after the hour Cinna Menara.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:27
			It's cool. We're also broadcasting to to YouTube. So whenever I see somebody asking questions from
YouTube or asking a question from Periscope, like Raman
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			then I get excited
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			because I never broadcast on
		
00:16:41 --> 00:17:29
			All right, this question says what we do for our behavior I am feeling I was clam in Ramadan but now
my first day feeling aggressive for short things and things look like not in control. So the last
night of Ramadan and then there's eat afterwards you've got like Tata we're used to staying up at
night and then aid comes in you're awake all night getting ready. Maybe there's some family members
that you're getting people ready in the family as well and then you go for a prayer and there's lots
of food and then there's maybe overdose of sugar or or oils and hamdulillah no problem it's party
but all of those things can lead to having like this you know agitation agitation inshallah Tada the
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:29
			solution
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:31
			for the
		
00:17:33 --> 00:18:12
			solution is for short term it could be that you need to drink more water you need to rest more rest
and food rest and food and water rest and food and water. These are like the top three things
somebody's being agitated and they're on their nerves. Rest food, water, I know somebody's gonna say
what if you can't get any rest? Well that's your problem with it. You need to find time to get rest
or tell the people that you're being aggressive with say look would you like me to continue being
aggressive with you? Or would you rather you let me sleep and then they'll be like no no, please
have some sleep and get some food and and drink lots of water two liters
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:24
			this question Should we try to do it every day? Six months? Yes, every day. Every day you make dua.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:43
			Or fun in Kuwait regarding my dream Darfur managed to give me a Go ahead. But how's it possible not
so much of a high status person? I just need to understand please. Shake. So
		
00:18:46 --> 00:19:31
			when people are making dot they get caught up sometimes in in how is this going to happen? So you
just need to stop thinking about that. You need to start thinking about how will it happen and make
to offer the things that you want. So if you say to yourself in order for me to make the offer
something I have to know how it would happen or I have to know that this is going to be something
easy for me and I have to know exactly how Allah subhanaw taala is going to do this for me. And only
then will I make dua does it make sense? Does it make sense? Instead just make dua for what you
want. And as Allah subhana data says, mantequilla dialogo Maharajah we are as a pulmonary village
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:59
			and wherever has Taqwa of Allah, Allah will find a way out for them and provide for them from a
direction that they never could have expected. So if Allah subhanaw taala is telling you that it's
possible that he will provide or he can provide from a direction that you never could have expected.
If you're asking that I need to know how this will be expected I need to expect know how it happens.
And Allah Subhan Allah Allah says Allah will provide in a way that you would never know
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:17
			how it could happen, right? So make got what you want a lot and stop thinking about how, but there
are things that we make dock for that we need to take action on that there is actually an example of
something a person needs to take action
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:47
			somebody wants to run a marathon, law, practice peloton to run the marathon. There's action that
needs to be taken to in order to succeed. Yes, they have to register for the marathon to take
action. They have to get in shape, they have to get ready for the marathon all of these things in
order to succeed. And for those kinds of draws. We've got the dream Walker course on how do you take
action?
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			On ecommerce, and on top Anton, how are you doing?
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:02
			Right, there's one minute left and actually that minute is over now.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			Right, Last one, last one here.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:47
			Beloved, has been tuning in from YouTube. Thank you Bilal. Welcome. Like I said, I get excited when
somebody is coming in from from YouTube or Periscope. And I'm trying to actually broadcast on
Instagram as well. But I got some technical difficulties. So the question from Bilal is, how do you
deal with addictive distractions like social media, YouTube, etc? Well, I'm not distracted by
YouTube, but I get distracted by other things.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:59
			Here's some tips. Some tips that I've I've tried to have worked for me in the past. One tip is
deleting though the app of that,
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:04
			that social media and perhaps
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:51
			like logging in from a browser. So for example, Facebook, if you have the Facebook app, it's very
fast, and you can get addicted to it. Or YouTube. Same thing, if you have the app and you have the,
you know, you're paying premium and no ads. And it's very, very smooth. What you do is delete the
app. And and when you need you to be use it on like a browser. And then it becomes very slow and
clunky. And it's so annoying. And that annoyance actually helps you slow down. And they keep telling
you download our app because then you'll be more addicted to be addicted. So when I want to get when
I find an app, there's an app, like let's say there's a game app on my phone, and I find myself like
		
00:22:51 --> 00:23:32
			I can't pull away from it. And I delete it. And one thing I'm looking into right now, and I haven't
done it yet, but I would like to see it is to get maybe another like let's say there's an iPhone and
then you've got like maybe another iPhone or when you change iPhones or you upgrade to another
phone, maybe keep one of the phones instead of getting rid of it, and you and then take away
everything that's distracting off of it. So there are things on the phone that you might need such
as an alarm, such as hey, maybe I'm listening to Quran or I'm listening you know, to some white
noise or something like that. Maybe there's things that you need that are productive, but when you
		
00:23:32 --> 00:24:14
			use the productive things, it leads you to the unproductive things so maybe have two phones or two
things connected to end up one only has productive things and the other one has all the other stuff
so the WhatsApp the YouTube the Facebook all that's on one phone and then the the alarm the you know
just maybe the calling stuff basic stuff on one five so I haven't done that but I would like to look
into it so that a certain time of the day the one that has the distracting things I put it away put
it on a shelf put it in a closet somewhere in closing say goodnight to it and then when I need the
productive things I have it on the other phone will latch on um does that mean like kind of
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			everybody
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:39
			it's been nice I wanted to just restart it I was feeling like you know it's been like 10 days we
haven't done a Facebook Live 1011 days but inshallah Tata will be back here tomorrow. What time will
we be here? I don't know. I'll look and see how things go over a couple of days and see what I start
falling back to the timing that I fall back to. And then it's all the time I'll make it more
consistent.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			Take care, bye
