my parents were we begin by praising Allah Subhana Allah to Allah and bearing witness that none has
the right to be worshipped or unconditionally obeyed except for him. We bear witness that Muhammad
		

			sallallahu alayhi wa Salam is his final messenger. We ask Allah to send his peace and blessings upon
him, the prophets and messengers that came before him, his family and companions that served
alongside him, and those that follow in his blessed path until the day of judgment. And we asked
Allah to make us amongst them Allahumma Amin do brothers and sisters, if I was to walk up to someone
who even speaks Arabic and say, Kay, Phil Bell, how is your bed?
		

			People would look at me funny. Because you'd be more accustomed to how is your hand Kayfun had K for
Harlequin? How is your hand? Now of course, if you don't speak Arabic, they sound very similar. And
in fact, they have very similar meanings. And I know that there are similar words and odor in other
languages. To that your situation. When you ask someone, how are you? What do you mean by that? And
what exactly are you asking about? If you walk up to someone and say, how are you? Are you really
interested in knowing how they are? Or are you simply giving a greeting? Right, as an extension of
your salon? You've already moved on to the next part before you can even let them answer right table
		

			hadn't come didn't care for how to get him to dinner? How are you handling that hamdulillah I'm
doing well. Now, the word bed is a very interesting word in the Arabic language. And it's a little
more comprehensive and specific at the same time than the word had. So I want to break this down a
bit. And then I'll explain to you why I'm even doing that in the first place. A lot of times there
is an external part to you. And when someone asks, How are you? What they mean by that is everything
good with the family, everything good work, everything going okay with your time, they're asking
about predominantly external things fed well, you have your money, you're taking care of there,
		

			everything is good there. They're not really asking too much about your emotional well being. They
might be they're really good friends, but they're not really asking about that, for the most part.
They're saying is everything covered? You know, as the Arabs used to say, getting the story he's
taken care of. When I say k for Hanukkah, how are you? I mean, are you taking care of are you good
for tonight, you have a place to stay, you've got something to eat. hamdulillah brought me the
emotional part of this. We don't talk about that part. Right? They used to get mad at the Prophet
slice, for kissing his grandkids. This is different to them. Right? But go beyond that. When you go
		

			beyond that. How are you? How are you? And so before I get to the idea that mentions this is very
interesting, when you dig deep into it the word bad, which sounds very similar to had, when used
together, the Arabs meant ill bail refers to your internal states. What's on your mind? What's in
your heart? What's keeping you concerned? What's keeping you up? What's letting you sleep? What are
you looking forward to? What are you worried about from the past? What's keeping you down? That's
what they mean when they say your bed it refers more to the things that are not at the surface
whereas the had the situation of a person refers to things that are more external, very simple
		

			analogy. Your bed would be what's on your mind, your head would be observable in some way with
what's on your head. Okay, there would be an external notion of this and fucker, poverty is a head,
right? It's something that you can see on the outside that definitely has an internal components.
However, they're not the same. And to not get too technical here but but to also look at the
spiritual dimension of this a person's hand a person's external might be difficult. It might be
poverty, but they're bad.
		

			All their internal might be Xena
		

			rich hamdulillah because Lena is Lena is it gonna help? I'm Rich in the heart, I am contented
hamdulillah Blimey, I am content whereas a person might have been on the outside their external
state might be wealth, but their internal state is complete bankruptcy, complete poverty complete
fucker lost on the inside. And so there is an importance here that we should speak about Now why is
this important in the Quran when Allah says d him well you'll see who that
		

			so you d him well you'll slip through the hole where you delete a home will janitor I'll refer her
law home that Allah subhanaw taala will guide them and correct their bad correct their internal
correct their condition. If you're reading a translation the word is going to say condition most
likely their state or their condition and will enter them into paradise, which he has made known to
them. Okay, what does Arafa Hala Han mean? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Well, are
they enough cvrd He in the Manzini Heath and Jannetty. I mean, who be Manzi Lee levy can have a
dunya the prophets lie some said that I swear by the one in whose hand is my soul when you enter
		

			into Paradise, and you need to go home. There is no Janna GPS. You don't need to ask an angel for
directions. Not to be like which Palace is mine? Do I go here? Do I go there? Which bridge do I
take? As an ambassador, the Allah Tala anima said commenting on this, you will go to your home in
Jannah as a person who lived in a home their entire life, at no point in error, at no point confused
exactly where you need to go. And that's from the Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala. And that
familiarity, right? Because if you get into Gemini might get overwhelmed. Where do I go? Which one
is mine is that one mine is that one mine? So part of the comforting part of this is that this is
		

			where you go, right? You already know you're already programmed to go home to go to your palace and
gentlemen, and nothing looks more beautiful than the palace that you are entering into. Now the
dunya we reward of this the worldly reward of this Usili who Bala whom Allah subhanaw taala will
rectify their condition means their internal thoughts, their internal state, your mood could be your
bad. Your emotional state is rectified. As a result of that guidance, you have the right
perspective. You have the right thoughts. There's something there that corrects you on the inside.
And you feel a certain way you feel a certain way, contentment, tranquility, these are all things
		

			that we seek from Allah subhanaw taala, you'll see who Burleigh home. Now why is this important to
the discussion that we're about to have right now about balance and about, you know, baraka and
about blessing and about how to be proportional and about how to relieve distress. And where do I
found find these outlets. When I feel overwhelmed. Almost every person you talk to right now is
overwhelmed in some way. Work is overwhelming family is overwhelming. You know, the pandemic is
overwhelming, something is overwhelming. I'm stressed out, I'm looking for something and I'm not
going to belittle the mental health component that is there. The spiritual upliftment is part of it,
		

			right. But it does not negate it. There's something serious there there is something that is real
there, there is something called depression, there is an emotional component of view a physiological
component of you. And while it is connected to the spiritual, the spiritual does not tell you to
neglect those. Okay? However, when we talk about balance, when we talk about finding an outlet,
		

			one of the ways that we fail is that we restrict the discussion to time your family has right upon
you, yourself has right upon you. So you need to give more time to your family, you need to give
more time to yourself, which might be true.
		

			But the ban is not simply encompassed within time. Sometimes it's not about time, it's about the
things that consume your thoughts and energy, even with less time.
		

			All right, so if you give more time to these things, but you don't treat the bell, you don't treat
what it is that is consuming you
		

			then you're not going to solve anything. It's not just a matter of giving more time here giving more
time there. It's not just a matter of taking more days off for vacation. It's not just a matter of
taking more walks, all of that is good for you. But you can't treat this just in terms of time
finding an outlet for what burdens you and removing what burdens you to the greatest extent possible
is what's going to actually make you a more complete person is what
		

			that's going to actually bring you to a desirable state, one that gives you what you want in this
life and one that gives you what you want in the next. And so when we talk about outlets for the
soul, and resting the soul, how do we approach this to some? It's simply worship Allah subhanaw
taala more. And you know what, if your worship can become a source of relief and hamdulillah when
worship has done best, it's not just a reward in the hereafter. It's relief in this world as well.
When worship is done best, it's not just reward in the hereafter. It's relief in this world as well.
It can be Hi Abby, that comfort us with the prayer obala I want to pray, I enjoy my prayer. Take me
		

			back to that prayer. Not just to do out to get me out of the situation do I in and of itself is an
outlet with Allah subhanaw taala in a school bethey where has kneel Allah, I complain of my sadness
and my grief to Allah subhanaw taala I have those moments where I can release the valve
		

			and talk to Allah. The very act of Dara is comforting to me whether I get exactly what I'm asking
him for or not the very fact that I get to go into that door and have that conversation I feel so
much better. Think about a person that you really love just talking to them the comfort of their
voice, the familiarity of their voice. There's a there's a release of tension there there's a
release of stress there just because you got to talk to somebody now is really great to talk to you
30 minutes an hour or whatever it may be just having that person on the other side of the phone.
What about when a person goes to do us with your is like that valve?
		

			To just go into drought, whether I'm doing to speaker is the fun? glorifying Allah or seeking His
forgiveness, whether I'm asking him for something of this life or asking him for something in the
hereafter release. Right? At school bethey where his knee and Allah I take it to Allah subhana wa
Tada I am in those moments with our Rahman Al Khalifa Rachna to be alone with a rock man is the
greatest drama to our lives. Let it out.
		

			Complain to Allah, it's okay. As long as you're not complaining to Allah about Allah complaining to
Allah. Talk to Allah relief. And that's what the prophets ice on that retina behind albida comfort
us with it. Oh, be done. So the greatest relief if done right is worship, the worst burden is sin.
Sin bears consequences that burden you. They constrict the chest and they eliminate your reward in
the hereafter. Now, here's the thing about that there's a lot that's in between here. Okay, the
greatest relief is worship done right? The greatest burden is sin. What about other outlets in
between that Allah has made permissible to us that Allah has opened up for us, if you remember the
		

			hadith of Samanid piracetol, the Allah Tala animals or Buddha or the Allahu Anhu were the prophets
like some Paris, a man with a Buddha and some man sleeping in his house, and he realizes, I wonder
that is way overboard with the religiosity part.
		

			His wife is being left behind. He prays all night long fasts every single day, he's got no time for
his family got no time for this world. All these dedicated to his his worship is his spirituality.
And so what does he do? He forces whether to go and spend some of the night with his spouse he
forces that to eat lunch with him like some days you need to not fast you spend some time with your
family. And he tells a Buddha in the lobby Kanika hubco, barely Your Lord has right upon you. Your
family has a right upon you with enough SICA they could have called yourself has a right upon you
now is part of giving yourself to your Lord not beneficial to the self of course this
		

			of course it is again worship done right like that will tell you I'm really liking my tea. I'm here
I feel fine. I don't need to go for a jog. I've got Pamela and I'm okay. So I'm giving my right to
my lord but I'm also finding relief for yourself. And if you are with your family, and you do for
your family with the intention of pleasing Allah isn't the Lika also the ROB Baker isn't for your
family also for your Lord. So one of the scholars mentioned here the for yourself part that the
Prophet size some confirms, by the way when he says sentimental the truth. The for yourself part is
primarily not something that is worship oriented, you can make it an act of worship. But every human
		

			being needs some time. Every single person needs some share of really de stressors. They need time
they need leisure. And you know what's really interesting is a Buddha that took the advice of the
devil the Allah Tala and who says in Nila sturgeon Moon fcb by the way, the Hakuna Daddy can own and
near others. It's one of my favorite sayings from him. And until today, quite frankly
		

			never connected it back to the incident that actually happened with him. Talk about waking up to the
reality. He says in Neela Esther Jim when FCB Bartley law he, he said, I find that my heart finds
relaxation through some of Allahu La who is entertainment, some amusements, leisure, some things
that are level two indulge in it is actually can become sinful. But he said, I find actually
sometimes that I find relief from in my heart in my heart from some of those things. And he said,
You know what? The corner that he can own a knee I love
		

			that makes me stronger in my dedication to the truth. That gives me the energy
		

			to do what I am put on this earth to do.
		

			it invigorates. It gives me exactly what I need. I need those breaks up rather than saying, I came
to that realization. I need those breaks. And so if this great scholar and great worshiper is saying
sometimes I do those things. They're not necessarily acts of worship. But they're not haram. I don't
do disobedience, and then worship. I do worship and then mobile, permissible things. So I can be
better with my worship be better with my purpose. So that's one outlet that even the Sahaba and the
Sahaba that were known for being distinguished by their worship are saying, You've got to have that
in your life. You've got to have that in your life. Now, as the examiner has added Rahim Allah said
		

			active leisure is better than passive leisure. Active leisure is better than passive leisure. So the
Sahaba preferred the throwing of spears, the shooting of arrows, the swimming, the horseback riding,
they preferred that because there was a data in that as well that was better active leisure is
better than passive leisure. And by the way, even when it comes to mental emotional well, being
active leisure is usually better for you than passive leisure. However, even some of the passive
leisure sitting down telling jokes reciting poetry, they did that stuff. And they did it because it
gave them and outlets need a break. We need a relief. Take a break, get that back, and then go right
		

			back into what you're doing the Sahaba needed those things. However,
		

			when they got into passive leisure in particular, they did not stay there for longer than what they
had intended to stay there with. Meaning what as long as I know him Allah to Allah mentions that
when they would recite poetry, they were mindful that they weren't going to miss their pm will lead
in a night and poetry. So they wouldn't binge poetry.
		

			Okay, because they knew that would sacrifice their piano, they understood, let's sit for 30 minutes,
let's sit for some time. Let's share some poetry. Let's joke around a bit, let's hang out but they
were mindful of the time and so when they got into passive leisure because sometimes passive leisure
can become way past this time, you can go way past the window. They knew exactly how long they were
going to spend it. They didn't keep clicking the links. Right keep going down the hole. Keep
watching the next video in the next video in the next video on the next video. Right? So it's halal
in its nature. And there's a boundary that's intended before you even go into it. The next thing
		

			that we learned from the scholars in this regard is that one of the things that drains the soul when
we said we don't just address this with time
		

			is that destructive distraction, destructive just distractions. So there are the disobedient
distractions are the distractions that involve sin. There's the neutral, halal MOBA, keep it
limited, but have it as a part of your life. If you can be active, that's better. And then there are
destructive distractions destructive, in what sense? destructive and how much energy, how much
headspace how much heart space? They exhaust your soul with
		

			Imam Shafi Rahim Allah to Allah he says and keep in mind we're coming up on the 15th of Sheridan, in
the middle of Shaban, Allah will look out to his servants and Allah forgives, forgives each one of
his a bat each one of his worshipers coming up next week. Not because of the lengthy nights of DiEM
No, because they removed from their heart shidduch they removed from their heart polytheism and they
removed from their heart Shut up. They remove malice grudges, they let it out. Clear your heart
emptied out before Ramadan and needs to be filled with something else. Clear it out right now. Imam
Shafi Rahim Allah said lemma I fell to when I'm active, I had an IRA to Neff see when hamdulillah
		

			Dalit
		

			one once I learned how to forgive as a habit, and a shafr He was a man who was frequently backbite
it right once I learned to just overlook and forgive.
		

			He said to enough sear. Like my soul just became so at peace Wow.
		

			I'm not just talking about the reward. But yeah, for what else for her Ella to her buena Yaffe hola
hola come Don't you want Allah to forgive you? Like once I started letting stuff go, even the
justifiable ones it's not like Imam Shafi was someone that was getting into a bunch of fights, even
the stuff like he had reason to be bothered by it, and reason to be drowned in it. Once I learned to
just let it go and overlook it, to an FC like myself, my soul felt so much peace, and humble, I
divert from the worries of enmity, the drama, of graduates, the drama of enmity.
		

			You know, people get into these disputes, you lose sleep, you lose time you lose energy, you don't
enjoy your life anymore, because all you're thinking about is the test match.
		

			That's not just a distraction, it's a destructive distraction. Go to Hawaii, you're still going to
have your phone and you're still going to be thinking about that. It's not gonna do anything for you
go into tarot, yeah, totally, it's not going to solve your problem, maybe temporarily. You just have
to cut it, cut it. Right, I'm not going to let this exhaust myself anymore, exhaust my heart
anymore, it no longer will find space here, because it's taking a toll on me, even if I'm justified.
And then even when you're justified, this is not saying tolerate abuse. Now we have room for
retribution injustice. But don't let it become so dominant in your life. That is all that occupies
		

			you. Keep it to the extent that you need to get justice will help us move on, move on, find ways to
get it out for yourself, not just for the other person, and for the reward of relief of the soul in
this life, not just for the great reward, which is even mightier in the next. And so dear brothers
and sisters, I want to end off with one thing in sha Allah to Allah in this regard, and we're
talking about the outlets of the self, the solution to burnout because many people complain about
burnout. And honestly, we're all feeling it. I don't want to project it on you. I'm feeling it. A
lot of people are feeling it. I think most of you would say that you felt a little burnt out that
		

			you felt like you're going through a lot. You felt like it's been a tasking time. Right? The
solution to that burnout is not more vacation time. Because more vacation time from an unhealthy
life is not going to solve the unhealthy nature of that life. By the way, vacationing is a modern
concept
		

			lasts 200 300 years,
		

			taking off a few days, and especially now with that being you know, diluted with everything that we
take with us to our vacations that totally defeat the purpose physically putting ourselves in a
different place. Right? It's not going to be as beneficial not to say that vacations aren't good. I
love vacations. And I'm sure you love vacations as well. But to say that it's not the solution. It's
not the outlet. And it's not an excuse. And it's not in place of actually trying to find the daily
habits, the weekly habits of healthy outlets with Allah subhanaw taala, healthy, balanced with our
worship with our space with our time, so that we could have a better balance. So we could have a
		

			better state, internally, as well as externally. And so I give you seven things in sha Allah to
Allah. To recap this, number one, avoid disobedience even when you're down, it's not a healthy
outlet, it's only going to burden you more. Number two, get rid of the destructive distractions that
waste time energy head and heart space. The Grudge is not worth it, the mouse is not worth it. You
get a greater reward in the next life and you get relief for the soul in this life. Number three
active leisure is better than passive leisure when you have that choice. Number four, if you're
going to engage passive leisure which you should sometimes, then discipline it's time not just keep
		

			it head up discipline your passive leisure. Number five, bring remembrance zikr into your silence
and active moments when you can bring the kid into your walk. Bring the kid into your time away,
bring the kid into your contemplation into your relief bring Vicodin into your into your treadmill
and into your working out Michelle we have the brother who came in took shahada a few weeks ago he
said that I was listening to the angel series while working out I said man you've listened to it
many times mashallah because huge biceps, alright, bring it into your active bring it into your
passive when you can. Number six, enjoy good company where you can
		

			that does not cause you to transgress the limits company of joy. The Sahaba used to take along some
of the funnier companions when they would travel because they knew that they brought some relief on
the journey. But they knew that when they're with those companions, they don't have to worry about
backbiting and gossip and all the other stuff that's going to drag them into some of the other
things so have people with you engage good company where you don't have to worry about transgressing
the limits. Number seven, make worship your greatest relief.
		

			Make worship your greatest form of real
		

			lif May Allah subhanaw taala let that be searched for us a lot more I mean a whole whole other stuff
with ideological reset and misdemeanor stuff we don't in order for Rahim.
