Our religion, is it a transaction with Allah?
No.
But you know what you find some people
doing? I used to pray,
I fasted,
I even didn't even drink any Haram.
I didn't eat any Haram, and I only
asked Allah for one thing, and I kept
making Dua, and I kept making Dua, and
Allah didn't give it to me.
Why should I pray?
You know? And that's actually also a big
part of Hikma, isn't it? Hikma means which
medicine is needed at which time.
Right?
Because some some people, their their entire religion
is just negative.
And other people, they're so it's all fear.
And for other people, their entire religion is
all positive,
and both of these are dangerous.
Both of these are dangerous. Too much sweet,
you get diabetes,
you know, and
too much negativity, you get autoimmune diseases, you
get all other problems,
right? So this is this is a remarkable
balance Allah has struck between those 2 and
that's our life. It's always between these 2.
Good times and hard times, good times and
hard times. That's just what it's gonna be.
That's just this life. Now let's look at
the word Awliya, Awliya O Allah. Awliya O
Lindah, actually. It's really cool.
In the Quran,
by the way, from Wadiya, let me explain
the word first.
The the animal, like the horse,
the Arabs like to put a saddle on
top. If you've seen western films, astaghfirullah, because
you're Islamic, so you don't watch movies. But
if you in Western movies, back in the
day, the cowboys got a saddle and he
gets on the saddle, right? But the saddle,
because you're sitting on it, you're putting weight
on it, it puts,
it hurts the skin of the horse,
right? Because a long time it gets a
blister. Like you guys, if you ever go
to Umrah or something and you buy the
cheapest slippers you can because you know they're
gonna disappear into the al Khairah by the
time you come out,
right, so they're not gonna,
but those flippers, you know, they give you
that blister on your skin after a while.
He's just better off barefoot,
you know,
that So the animal also gets a blister
because it's the thing is touching on it
all the time. So what the what the
Arabs used to do is they used to
put like a like a cushion
a little bit and then put the saddle
on top so its skin does not become
irritated.
Right? But then it's and they wouldn't take
the saddle off and the saddle is sitting
there for months months months and then they
take the saddle off and that pillow
is so embossed on the skin of the
horse that they have to peel it off
like a sticker too. Right? It just gets
really stuck on there, right? That's actually called
a Walija because it gets really stuck on
there.
A is a friend that's really stuck to
you.
That's actually
a You're stuck to them, they are
stuck to
you, and they're there with you no matter
what. A strong relationship
to come after or be right immediately next
to someone is actually
In modern Arabic to say atadi is the
next, it's from the same origin actually.
Atadi.
Okay. It's, it's from, from wawlam and yeah.
So
from there, another meaning of wala is actually
to command something, like mutawandi,
the one who has authority over something.
Okay. Now it has opposite meanings, the wala
anhu turned away from something, tawala ilahi turned
towards something, right. Now what does what does
all of this mean? The, the kind of
friend because Arabic has lots of words for
friends, but the kind of friend that is
always stuck to you, always with you never
leaves your side.
That would be your wadi,
that would be your wadi.
And
if you have the assumption that Allah will
be on your side no matter what,
that would be
Now in the Quran if you know a
little bit of Arabic
could be a and the word Allah could
be the
like,
which means the the the close friends of
Allah, the close friends of, I'm using the
word of Allah.
But this one is, if you think you
are friends
to Allah, not of,
it's aliyah
li Allah, there's a laam in between.
The laam creates in grammar and rhetoric in
Al An'ali it creates a distance, it's Ibaad,
which means in this ayah Allah did not
put them so close even in that claim.
They could have been closer with what words?
But Allah said
which may also actually be a commentary on
you're not really sure this is the case
and you don't really act too close to
Allah.
So I mean even, even if you make
that claim it's kind of iffy
So it's And then you believe this to
be as opposed to all other people. This
is the key to the Ayah,
There are 2 qualifications that are gonna come,
this is the first of them.
What does this mean? It means
if you think Allah will be on your
side no matter what because you are the
chosen people and everybody else is supposed to
go to hell,
everybody else doesn't deserve that special place that
you deserve with Allah,
then if that is in fact the case,
that means that no matter what you are
guaranteed Jannah,
that's what that means, You're guaranteed Heaven. There's
no way around it. And if you're guaranteed
Heaven by the way, is the Muslim guaranteed
Heaven?
No. No, we have to beg Allah,
and we even judgement day we're begging Allah,
Rabbana it's bimlala nurana, Allah complete our light,
we're walking towards Jannah, we still don't have
a guarantee.
Even the people who have the book in
their right hand are begging Allah, let this
walk complete, please,
You Allah.
The battery should not die on the light
that you gave me, it starts flickering and
it goes on, that would be a problem.
Let the light stay on until we get
there.
And forgive us, right? We don't live with
that guarantee.
By the way, Christians, sometimes I have conversations
with fun Christians, sometimes he goes, you know,
you should accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour
because
you're guaranteed heaven.
Y'all don't have a guarantee, do you?
Like, no, we don't.
Neither do you.
Yes we do. I was like, you do?
The one time one pastor told me, we
have a guarantee for Habit'. I was like,
okay,
If I accept this,
I'm thinking when this conversation is over, I've
always imagined what it would be like to
rob a bank.
I wanna do it
Because why would you do that? I was
like, because I'm gonna go to heaven anyway.
What's the what's stopping me from doing it?
No. But if you had Jesus in your
heart you wouldn't do it.
I was like,
then what did he pay for?
I thought he paid for my sins.
If I'm not gonna sin,
then He paid for nothing.
We shouldn't have paid for something.
So you see how it starts falling apart?
Then,
on this side, if in fact, if it
is the case
that you are truly the friends of Allah
and you have a guarantee of heaven, then
let me just tell you. Let's not the
Islamic view that I just presented, let's take
the other view. The other view would be
imagine if the Muslim was told no matter
what you do, Allah is with you, you
will be given what?
Jannah. Then what do we know about Jannah?
Is it better in this world or no?
In this world, poor guy, he has to
go to college, he has to fail a
test, he has to take a review, he
has to pay the tuition, he has to
convince his parents, I want to get married,
I want to get married. They don't want
to let him get married, then he finally
likes a girl and he proposes and then
she says no and then
there's so much he's got to go through
poor guy
and then eventually he gets married and he's
like this now is gonna be the most
amazing thing ever because I'm married and then
he finds out what marriage is
and then
then you know then he's changing diapers in
no time and
they're not they don't smell that good
you know. Every joy comes with pain in
this life, doesn't it?
Getting a new job is joy,
but after a couple of days on the
job,
getting a nice car,
awesome, getting stuck in traffic,
You know?
First time people sit on a plane like
if you get kids on a plane.
What?
6 hours later on the same flight.
Uh-huh. Where are we landing?
If you have the guarantee of Jannah,
you're not gonna get old, you're not gonna
get sick, you're gonna have the best housing,
the best spouse, no problems.
What are you doing here?
Go, bro.
Because
there's no point being here
if you have so much better waiting for
you.
You don't have to deal with war and
famine and disease and sickness and old age,
nothing, go.
You know what this, Allah is not telling
them to wish for death, Allah is saying
if you believed what you believed, you would
be.
Do you understand the point here?
Do we believe this?
And because we don't believe this, we don't
wish for what?
We wish for a good death.
We don't wish for death. We wish for
a good death and we don't know when
that is,
so we don't wish for it because we're
not sure if we're ready for it yet.
We just, Yeah Allah, just give us a
good death,
give us death among good people, give us
death while we're in a state of Islam,
give us death when we're in a state
of taqwa, this is our duas,
completely different world view.
And Allah is saying anybody who believes that
they are saved in some way, they should
be wishing like this.
Now it's the Mindun and Nas is also
really interesting because right before this when the
previous section that we were discussing what did
Allah tell us?
These Ummeeel are coming into the final, this
religion of God, and then the Ummeeel invitation
is being open to every nation on earth.
All the people that weren't going into Jannah
now have a chance to be purified,
and you're like, Nah, they're not gonna go
to Jannah, we're the ones that are gonna
go to Jannah.
Well then go,
Put them on downvote.
Go ahead.
These are some other ayaat, actually I won't
go through them because that level took too
long, for you guys, but for your own
homework you should kind of look at places
in the Quran where the word is used.
Just as an analysis
like what is what is the word the
relationship between me and Allah of wadi, what
does it look like? These are these are
couple of ayat that I selected like Allahu
Wa liyeh
Allah is the protective friend
of those who believe He pulls them out
of darknesses and brings them into light. By
the way,
the second eye of this Surah
you know what that is? Allah pulling people
out of darkness into
light which means Allah is being their wadi
because Allah says in Surat Al Baqarah Allah
as a wadi pulls people out of darkness
into
light, it's subhanAllah.
That's what Wadi actually does, that's what the
way if you're truly the awliyah of Allah
then you're journeying from darkness towards
light. That's what you're doing. And every day
you're identifying some other kind of darkness and
you're making another step, and another step, and
another step, and another step.
That's when you're Awliya of Allah.
By the way, the term Awliya of Allah,
I'm gonna say something that's gonna sound controversial
to you guys but it's okay, I'm leaving
in a few days.
We have this concept in some of our
Islamic traditions where some people are considered the
Awliya of Allah
and even nowadays there are some some traditions
in which people say oh my, I have
a Wali of Allah in my neighborhood,
I have a Wali of Allah in our
village, we have a Wali,
Right? These are the and what is a
common thread among it's in different cultures by
the way. It's in South Asia, it's in
Southeast Asia, it's in different places. Turkey, other
places, right? And these Awliya of Allah, they
are deeply connected with Allah like you cannot
be.
What they all have in common is they're
spiritually connected to Allah, you're not.
And they can help you get closer to
Allah because they're already
they already graduated from the school of distance,
they're in the school of closeness to Allah,
you're not and they are the ones that
are going to elevate you,
right?
When someone declares that they are closer to
Allah,
doesn't that sound like this assumption?
Doesn't that sound like like
I can't
imagine as a student of the Quran at
any point in my life I can say
about myself I am a what?
A what. I would say I hope, I
pray that Allah
considers me,
Allah is my wedi,
and it would be an honor that Allah
would declare me
His Wadi,
actually because who decides if I'm a Wadi
to Allah, it's more Allah's decision than mine,
right?
Allah is the wadi,
because it would be very self righteous of
me to declare myself
AwadiyaVallaha.
And the thing is that every one of
us has ups and downs, we're human right?
We have ups and downs. Do you think
at some point you will become so good
that you'll no longer have ups and downs?
Is that possible for you? So why do
you think it's possible for someone else?
Why would you think that somebody has reached
a certain status, they become the pope now,
they can't come down, they've already reached the
level of angels and they can't, you know,
dip from that and therefore all of their
prayers are answered.
We can do all the good deeds in
the world and we can mess it up,
and we can be drowning in sin and
we can make Dua and be raised,
you
know, Allah increases anybody in ranks
and you know,
so this mentality that Allah is describing about
we've exhibited some of these behaviors.
And you know what wherever you find this
kind of behavior, you find a lot of
problems too,
you find a lot of problems.
This mentality creates problems in that society, it
creates cults,
it creates people worship,
it's a new kind of idol worship.
And these people can't be wrong because they
represent the will of Allah himself.
That's exactly what the Pope says.
Because they're like what these other religions say.
The rabbinical tradition
believed that the rabbis are so close to
God that when they give a fatwa, it
actually represents the will of God himself. That's
why the Talmud
kept any additions made to the Talmud is
considered sacred.
It's actually considered part of the Word of
God.
Their opinion is considered part of the Word
of God,
you know.
And this is the kind of thing that
the Quran came to eliminate. You know one
of my friends said this really,
he's a student of history and he said
something really cool. He said religions before Islam
they were superstitious,
they had people that you had to go
through to connect to God,
intermediaries, you had to go through them, and
religions were all about granting people wishes.
So why did people go to a religion?
Because they want to get married. Why did
people go to a religion? Because they want
more money, or they want to get out
of debt, or they want to solve a
problem, or they want to heal a child,
or have a child, or whatever, wishes.
So you people go to religion for these
things.
And Islam came and reconstructed,
restored the purpose of true religion is not
these things. You don't have to go through
anybody because you are a slave of Allah
directly.
The Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam will teach you
how to connect to Allah yourself. The Messenger
will give you the word of Allah that
you must engage with directly
A direct bond between the slave and Allah.
And all of us together trying to bond
with Allah
this communal. And by the way, does that
mean you shouldn't be learning from someone or
have a role model? Yes. But a father
should have been the role model to his
children.
In a in a in the the grandfather
should have been the role model to the
entire family.
Among your friends, the more knowledgeable become a
role model in learning and in behavior.
It wasn't supposed to be some special class
of people
that are designated the holy people because this
holy class
was actually something that every other religion used
to have.
But Islam came and everybody became what?
Equal,
Through the final speech of the prophet SallAllahu
Alaihi Wasallam. Nobody is better than anybody except
by what designation?
Taqwa. And taqwa lies in the heart and
you can't see it. I can't see your
taqwa. You can't see mine. It's invisible.
What did we do? We created taqwa uniforms.
If you're dressed a certain way, you look
as, oh, there's a taqwa guy walking around.
When a taqwa man walks into the restaurant,
everybody comes out,
let
me go get him to make the duas
for me
because his duas get accepted,
you know. They're stuck with ladies too.
When they walk into a party, nobody has
fun anymore.
Everybody's eating chicken there with Istafar,
that kind of Istafar needs Istafar,
Honestly,
this demonstration of spirituality,
kawah.
These kinds of ayat, you know what they
do? They shatter the idea
of posturing
and presenting yourself as sacred?
Well that's not actually the case,
that's actually what the ayah do.
Go ahead, what are you doing in this
world then?
Then? The word
I didn't know this, I learned this today,
and I was today years old
when I learned this.
The word which means wish, I translated it
as wish,
actually comes from which means sperm.
I was like what does sperm and wish,
what do they have to do with each
other? The Arabs were so creative.
Like I read this in Imam al Agha
but as Fahidi, it's really cool.
Just one piece of it I'm sharing with
you. First, the Arabs were fascinated
that this fluid
turns into a full on human being.
So they thought this thing, this liquid does
the impossible.
So they thought of the birth of a
child as something
impossible that happens.
So they associated
money with that which can possibly happen.
And from it, I'll read it. Guys, sorry
for the interruption in the middle of this
lecture. Just before you continue, I wanna let
you know and encourage you that I want
you to sign up for bayonetv.com
and help others sign up or even sponsor
students for baynathv.com
so we can create worldwide communities of students
that are studying the meanings and the benefit
and the wisdom of the Quran,
and
are spreading that in their own circles. Thanks
so much.
And the the word many also meant something
that's very limited because they think this little
drop and an entire baby,
you know, something very limited that's producing something
massive.
Meaning they are just using some imagination how
could this happen? From this limited thing, this
massive human being.
Being.
So they used to actually think is
always believing something impossible,
like something
they became associated with something impossible,
and imagining something that can't possibly be true.
So the word Tawmendi started getting used for
things that are impossible.
Like they thought the birth of a child
was just some impossible, mysterious thing, it can't
be this.
There's gotta be something else. How could it,
how could this happen? So the word Tamani
became wishing for impossible things,
having
what you can call delusional wishes.
Delusional wishes would be called Tamani,
another word in the Quran. Allah says
the religion is not based on your delusional
thinking,
your wishes.
The religion is not about your wishes.
Quran asks, the human being just get whatever
he delusionally wishes for? You're just gonna get
whatever you wish for, that's what you think?
And I've said this in my Durus on
previous Suras, but I'll just briefly mention this
to you.
The Mandy as a concept,
other religions like I told you people would
go up 10,000 steps on a mountain
to sit in front of a statue to
say, Please
make her fall in love with me.
Right? They go up there not to become
spiritually elevated or whatever. They go up there
for some wish that they need to get
answered. You understand?
The money to be blessed, the child to
be blessed, the marriage to happen, the problem
to be solved.
This was all religion was. It was a
transaction between them and the gods.
I present to you this, you
know, bowl of milk
and this Kit Kat.
Please
allow me to pass the exam. I will
give you this,
these gods will give me something. The
Vikings and these guys, they would sacrifice somebody
so that their gods, Odin or whoever, would
help them in victory against the enemy because
the gods won't help if we don't give
them something. You gotta give them something then
they'll give you something. It's a transaction, it's
a transaction with the Gods,
right?
Our religion, is it a transaction with Allah?
No.
But you know what you find some people
doing? I used to pray,
I fasted,
I even didn't even drink any haram, I
didn't eat any Haram, and I only asked
Allah for one thing, and I kept making
Dua, and I kept making Dua, and Allah
didn't give it to me
why should I pray?
I think you should try a different religion
where you can go up 10,000 steps and
place your order
after making your payment
because in your mind, prayer
and fasting
and abiding by Sharia was your form of
what?
Payment.
And now that you made the payment, you're
expecting
compensation.
You must not have understood what this religion
is.
You may you may have thought this was
kind some kind of a transaction.
It's not a transaction.
This religion gives you purpose and no other
and another religion you might say follow this
religion. We'll get you what you want, like
I heard Joel Osteen say all the time.
Joel Osteen,
I mentioned this a lot because I really
I've learned so much from that experience when
I went to his special in Christmas. I
went to his Christmas special at the American
Airlines Theatre. That's what I do on Christmas.
I go to a big Christian thing,
but I've done it once. I'm like, I
think I'll do it again, though. It was
fun. I got a ticket. I'm sitting in
the back and he's like, what are these
Christians gonna talk about on Christmas? And he's
one of the biggest preachers in America, right,
for a while and he goes up, this
year,
your divorce
is gonna be finished. The lawyers,
they're not gonna come after you no more.
This year, you're gonna get your promotion.
This year, that cancer, it's gonna be gone.
And there's like 20,000 people sitting in the
stadium going, yes. Yes, it is. Yes, it
is.
Yep.
Yep, he's giving them whatever they have,
umani, umani, umani and you just Jesus is
going to take care of all your problems.
People are like, Yes, He is, yes, He
is, and
what do we do? Brother, when's the 27th
night of Ramadan?
When's the 27th night?
Why you wanna know about the 27th night?
Oh, just, I just have to make Duha,
I have to write, Why are you reciting
so much Quran? Why are you reciting making
so much? Cause it's the 27th that you
want rewards. You want Allah to give you
guidance. You want Allah to give you purpose
in life.
But I actually have some really important things
I wanna ask about,
like, Abdul Karim's family hasn't called back with
the proposal.
What did we do with our religion?
Our religion gave us higher purpose,
but humanity
really gets stuck in worldly things.
So what we did is we re engineered
our religion back towards what other religions do
with theirs.
Slowly but surely we redirected it. And you
know the only way that redirection is possible?
Distance from the Quran.
Should you ask for things from Allah? Yeah.
I know some of you were like, are
you saying I can't make du'a for anything
anymore?
Allah said Of course you should make Dua.
But you know what? When wanting things of
this world becomes your fundamental
relationship with Allah,
your fundamental and I explained this with one
analogy. Please keep this analogy with you. It'll
help.
Imagine you're going from here, you're driving from
here to Hamburg,
road trip.
When you're driving from here to Hamburg, are
you gonna stop for gas or no?
You're gonna have to. You're gonna have to
stop for fuel, use the restroom, eat some
food, isn't it? Now imagine you stop at
a restroom and you're like this place is
amazing, I've never seen a gas station this
nice
and you just live in the gas station.
Bro the gas station's nice I know they
make really good french fries
I get it
You really like
the scenery,
but this was a stop. You can enjoy
the stop,
but then what must you do?
Move on and then you'll get hungry again,
you'll stop again
and you'll move or you'll refuel and you'll
move again.
Experiences in this life are like what?
It's a gas station.
The destination is something bigger and greater.
What happens to us? There's one experience in
our life, one thing we want, like the
gas station, we get where this is what,
this is all I want. This is my
new goal. No, no, you have something with
it. No, no, no, but this though,
this though.
Once I have this then I can,
you know,
we get distracted on the way. There's a
road we're on,
and in that road, some things will come
to us, some things will be taken away
from us. People will come in our life,
people will go from our lives.
Opportunities will come, opportunities will go. Money will
come, money will go. Health will come, health
will go. There will be ups and downs
in this life, but none of those things
are our objective. They are experiences where we'll
be grateful for the beautiful experiences,
where we'll be patient and still grateful for
the tough experiences and we'll keep moving forward,
but you can't get stuck in in at
the gas station,
you know,
and that's that's part of the the lesson
to learn here. And then finally, in Quntum
Sadiqin, I'll end with that, I'll give you
a break, is
if in fact you're telling the truth, the
word truth I want you to understand something
about it,
means truth,
but actually you know a spear, right? The
long
throw, kill, thingy?
If the middle of the spear is weak
then it can be easily
broken,
but when the middle of the spear is
thick
and unbreakable
that kind of spear is actually called
so an unbreakable strong spear.
A man who cannot be beaten on the
battlefield,
unbreakable man is.
An assault and attack on the enemy which
could not be defended against is called hamlatun
siddiqah.
From it, you get the strongest kind of
friend who doesn't break the bonds of friendship,
the most true kind of friend. When things
are tough, they're your friend. When things are
easy, they're your friend. They're not an opportunitist
friend
opportunist friend. That kind of friend is a
Sadiq,
from the same word Sadiq.
Siddiq, truth actually means
something strong that doesn't break.
The idea of truth in Arabic is actually
strength,
and you might not know this but
which is
lie, actually comes from an animal
that when it walks,
it stops and it looks back to see
if something's coming for it, then it walks
and
it it it hesitates in its movement and
it's actually weak.
It's weak and and the opposite of strong.
And it's also interesting that has to do
with defense and Siddiq has to do with
offense
by the etymology of these words. But Allah
says in Qutum Sadiqeen,
he's saying, read easy translation if you're truthful,
but behind these words is if you stand
on firm ground.
If what you believe is actually strong and
solid,
it's based on something that never shakes.
And in it, Allah is making an invitation.
People that will hold on to this faith
have to have firm solid base. Why am
I a believer? Why am I Muslim? Why
do I believe this to be the word
of God?
How?
That takes us back
to Those 2,
they actually make you clear about why you're
a believer,
they make you firm on
why must you hold on to this book,
They make you firm on that.
We've become obsessed with Al Kitab, actually not
even Al Hikbah, we're obsessed with Al Kitab,
right? We just say, oh, Muslims are doing
this, there's corruption here, there's, you know, young
youth are doing this, they're eating haram, they're
earning haram, they're dressing haram, they're doing haram,
haram, haram, act
violation of kitab here, violation of kitab here,
violation of kitab here, violation of kitab here,
nobody stops to ask the question, Why is
this 18 year old doing drugs? Why is
this 17 year old drinking?
Would you ask him, Do you believe in
the Quran? They say, I guess.
Why do you believe Ma'at Arabs are Muslim?
So I guess I believe. Is that strong?
Does that sound like a spear that doesn't
break?
No.
And then if you watch an inspirational
video,
you watch like, you know, people sometimes take
my clips. I don't know why they take
my clips. My clips are depressing, but you
know,
you watch like a Mufti Menk video
I just went up so good.
I'm so Muslim right now. I'm gonna share
this with everyone.
I wanna make this my WhatsApp story.
Your iman is emotional. You hear something inspirational,
goes up.
Then what happens?
What happens next?
Thought you're depressed
and you want something emotional. Then
down here again.
You know what that means?
The base
on which your faith sits
depends on your mood.
It depends
and is your mood something stable?
Is my mood something stable?
My iman cannot be based on something emotional.
My iman has to be based on something
much more solid than emotions because emotions are
always
up and down.
The the iman has to be based on
something that I'm absolutely
clearly convinced of to be the truth.
I'm intellectually cleansed, emotionally cleansed and even the
and if it's sitting on that intellectual basis
that this is in fact Al Haqq, then
my emotions will go up and down, sure,
but they won't go below the
below my convictions.
I'm never gonna get to a point where
I'm okay with alcohol now or I'm okay
with stealing now. No, no, no. There's a
I'll feel a lesser iman sometimes, but there's
a minimum threshold and my iman is so
solid. It doesn't let me go below that.
And if my iman is easily going below
that is because that base hasn't been built
and that's the base that the Quran builds.
That's where
comes from and, you know I've been taking
a super long time for this session, but
as we come to this,
one thing I forgot to mention yesterday and
I should have mentioned it,
you know Allah says about these people in
the previous ayah that they lost their relationship
with their book,
basically it was a non relationship, they have
a book like donkeys carrying
a load, right?
This ayah is strategically
right after Allah mentioned
the 4 step process
from the Prophet
You know why that's important?
That's important because if we ever abandon that
4 step process,
we will end up in this exact situation.
That actually, that 4 step process,
starting with
If we leave that 4 step process, we
will end up in this exact place.
May Allah protect us from that. Okay. So
let's take your break. Insha'Allah, enjoy a good
10 minutes.
