just yesterday,

he

reached age of 85 years of age.

When I was

12 years of age, I was in an institute in Harare, Zimbabwe known as the Islamic Cultural Institute. And I studied there from the ages of six to 12 Islamic Studies, and he was the principal.

And he taught the final year, and he taught me

he passed away.

He started experiencing breathing difficulties.

And on the way to the hospital, he passed away.

In the UK, Manchester,

running tests to discover the cause of death was positive for COVID-19.

So he is a teacher of mine, and someone who was instrumental in my formative years

because of this virus and

the status of

this particular virus,

the status of

the status,

so anyone who's passed away or anyone who has passed away

the Muslims who have passed away

in his obedience,

brothers and sisters in Islam, today's talk is titled My sincere advice to you all. And it's purposely structured in this way, because today's topic is dedicated to the first part of the testimony of faith when we say la ilaha illa.

Allah, which means

a llama, which means

this is what today's talk is dedicated to no brothers and sisters in Islam. Don't be mistaken. This discussion, the discussion in relation to the first half of the of our article of faith now a testimony of faith requires not hours, not days, but rather than weeks and months of a detailed study. This is how deep the reality is.

With regard to the first portion of our testimony of faith, we know very well brothers and sisters in Islam everything in existence exists because of

this reality.

Discussing around 30 minutes or so,

we can do

is touch on an angle from the angles of

say, or some people do, say

this pandemic

epidemic that we are experiencing today that's

my answer to them

is truly No.

And I've been busy on social media trying to offer Islamic guidance and Islamic development

correspondences coming in shows that people are going through a realization of what

isn't particularly the first part of

why people are experiencing this. Well, because, you know, we have the second

investments can crash

long term side effects of the body having to deal with this virus and so on and so forth. So, naturally, people are starting to experience what is human nature which is fear,

a fear that

can help us with

a fear that

low financial standing,

appreciate,

you felt safe.

The same system because of having a government for example, that has a political presence in the world because of a foreign policy for example, it has a strong

Australian currency for example.

For example,

these realizations come to us and time and time again of a calamity that brings you closer to Allah is better than a blessing that takes you away and this is the statement of

luck. So we can rehash

a calamity

calibration, calibration and calibration, because we will,

disposition and this disposition

only makes us rely

you

everything in existence is dependent upon

assistance for them, for them to be a success and

so who

needs assistance.

But we've been living our lives with some subconscious or adaptive subconscious, which caused us to feel the serenity that we deal

with because of external aspects.

You know, difficulties are blessing in disguise that it causes a recalibration because the chromosome is calibrated, but you know,

The nature of our environments and the nature that our environments providers, they sort of cause us to lose our coding the craft, our coding causes us to lose.

And then sometimes,

in other words that we can have

a discussion discussions and episodes and so on and so forth. I appreciate you writing and sharing this feedback.

Because

the difficulty

is far more difficult than the difficulty of Corona, the difficulty of piano is far more difficult than the difficulty of lockdown.

Right, the difficulty of the green is far more difficult than not having

in your shopping centers, right. So, this difficulty,

causes this difficulty to be a blessing in disguise.

This short statement is the statement upon which everything in existence does exist, everything exists,

that created them.

And

tells us in many parts of his book,

lessons pertaining to this reality

and the greatest justice,

in speech and with heart and in practice.

The greatest impression is to associate partners with

except to worship sincerely, who knows that they will be the upright ones, those who worship

they will be

telling us that all of religion is sincere, sincere with our Lord,

our purpose

in this particular list,

that

we will not be judged, except based attentions. And if those intentions are good,

there will be rewarded handsomely and beautifully for our,

for our diligence to La ilaha illAllah. But if our intentions,

our actions come about are attached to everything,

then we will only be rewarded that which we intended to do. You know, these are just two lessons.

One from this,

in fact, to prove

the scholars of Islam

they have established a universal principle, a principle that is established

change.

Statements says that

your actions will be judged based on your intentions. So brothers and sisters in Islam,

making our worship solely for the sake of

worship solely for the sake of Allah. And this is probably the biggest value that this particular lecture will bring about.

Because a lot of us have this.

We have this

as an

example, is an act of worship

is an act of worship.

Fasting is an act of worship

is an act of worship.

Worship we want to be the concept of Allah when we pray when we foster and we practice and so on and so forth. And this couldn't be further from the truth brothers and sisters in Islam. Why? Because think about it.

All

right. And then gender gurus that gender develops when we worship him. Okay, right. Now, if we were to worship Allah through salah and Zakah and fasting, and hence, the let's be honest, how much time in a day do we spend?

less time? So in a 24 hour day, we only go to what? An hour or two? for an hour too many hours?

only a small percentage of our day.

How is that fit? How is that possible? I mean, why should we have all the other minutes and seconds? Right? If we have no chance of?

Alright, how many days in the past

65 days?

Or a handful of days?

Right? Even if

it's considered a handful of days. So if we could only be

through fasting, right, then

what?

And

then what's the point of living the rest of the days if there was no opportunity in those days?

Same discussion can be said with regards to finish. Same discussion can be said with regards to right. So this is what we are deficient in.

Right?

We do a lot of things we never created.

Except to worship a lot. That's what we have to do. Okay. So if we couple our deficient understanding of what worship is, with this particular verse, then clearly there's a contradiction. Because if we will not create it, except to worship Allah, then why do we work? Why do we get married? Why do we raise children? Why do we need to end? Why do we have bills to pay? Why do we do this? Why do we

consider all these other things?

If we were only created to worship Allah?

I hope you follow me right? Because obviously,

you can't interact with each other face to face but I hope

you understand

if we could only worship,

activities

and have children

and so on and so forth.

worship and worship is

the answer to the question brothers and sisters in Islam. Is it the worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala entails the following

acts of worship that are considered worship in and of itself, because a lot

Okay, that's number one, but also from worship and this is number two,

also from worship, dance activities of life,

in activities of life, through our intention, we convict we convert into an act of worship.

So,

this is where we are, this is where we find ourselves lacking.

All right. So what am I

going to work for example, how many people go to work?

Right. I got to work. I have to go to work. We are locked down now. Right?

So difficult, right? Some people

tell us for the for the most of us, it isn't some people.

It's so difficult. people consider themselves to be working.

Right? When you go on a holiday

holiday, people consider themselves to be going on a vacation.

Right? When you go to the gym, I'm going to train people

to train.

Why? Because

the mundane activities of life.

The printing quality can become filled with acts of worship, which are direct acts of worship themselves and carry greater rewards as well as extra work.

Which makes those qualified to receive a share of rewards as well. That's making them 24 724. Seven.

Think about it. Imagine

whilst you sleep

with your office

for a vacation,

exercise,

exercise,

exercise. And this brings me to the next part of the discussion. How do we convert the mundane activities of life into a yoga exercise. And this happens brothers and sisters in Islam through our intention, this intention, there is a gift

to a believer from our Lord.

Okay, no one else has the power of intention, besides the

pleasure of

the intention is the switch that brings to our lives quantum progress.

Right. If you go to work you live in for today, flick the switch your intention, and you go to work living for today and tomorrow. Why? Because you will get paid today for your job and get your salary and your

girl

the fruits of your time at work yesterday.

Some people think

has the lock down gotten to him, this just sounds crazy.

It's only crazy, some vanilla, because

we lack the knowledge or we have knowledge that we

think about it. Right?

quantum progress living for today and tomorrow at the same time. Imagine

you have

going for the sake of the degree is living for today. But imagine

tomorrow at the same time

that you can bask in tomorrow and appreciate your time.

Imagine that. Imagine baking a cake. For example. Let's say the kid goes bad. They didn't come out right? Again, but you don't feel

depressed about losing the first cake or feel that you've lost time because you know that that

exists the cake.

Right? Right. This is what it's about. Brothers and sisters in Islam living for today and tomorrow in the same instance by flicking your switch. And that's the intention I can put into my chest, my heart because the place of the intention is so when we say we are brothers and sisters in Islam, what we are saying is look gentlemen, Celtic lives. How do we live?

By

the purpose for which you do what you do. You make a love the purpose for your job, the purpose for your study and degree, the purpose for your holiday vacation, for your cooking for your writing for your whatever you do.

You sleep, you make a purpose.

Unfortunately, given the nature of life of this world, we tend to conflate and mix purpose with the results. There's something called purpose and there's something called result. We tend to conflate the two. Why? Because

we live in business and we adopt without realizing the way of those who don't

go to the gym for the sake of losing weight. That's what

the world is.

Right? So losing weight is everything

besides the jump in grants University

paradise.

But that's because they paradise.

Right? But the Muslim doesn't do this, the Muslim doesn't conflict between results and purpose. The Muslim knows if I go to the gym, and I train, well, right, the result of it is I will lose weight. But that shouldn't be the purpose.

The purpose.

My purpose for winning is

losing weight is the result, getting fit is the result. And the result is universal. It will always happen. If you go to the gym really diligently, you will lose weight, even for the sake of right.

Brother, Sister, listen, today, your calories don't count, you haven't lost any weight. Why? Because you're running for the sake of

no one can change that the result of exerting yourself is that you burn calories. The result of studying is you get a degree, the result of

right?

Truth.

Anyway,

does that make sense?

There's a difference between a person goes to work for the sake of the salary, and the person who goes to work. Because that

gives

there's a difference between a person who goes to university

and a person who goes to study medicine because they

are beneficial to the people

studying medicine

is the difference. And you still gonna get the degree

degree. But what do you do? You live for today, and you look for tomorrow at the same time.

Because your agenda,

your license, gentlemen selfish. Why? Because you truly

you truly understand it.

When you sleep, you don't sleep for the sake of

energy, but you sleep so you can wake up to worship even better. So that sleep becomes of trees being planted, and streams being done for you.

Right? And

imagine that you can

no ear has ever heard.

So this is the lesson.

This is the sincere advice that I have for you or make your life sincerely for the sake of a month from the beginning of your day, to the end of the day.

you convert into an act of worship, your purpose

and his pleasure. This is the lesson for today My dearest brothers and sisters in Islam

is short and sweet.

I pray that this is the case.

You can take home with you at home. But take into your heart, internalize it. Become familiar with it. And then transform your life because

when you deal with work, when you dealt with

your responsibilities, if you sit down with yourself and get a pen and paper and get on board and start figuring out how you you know write down what you're doing today, right? And then split it up what percentage of my days mundane activities, what percentage of my days, activities that are worshiping. Okay, then look to the column of acts of worship which are acts of worship itself and see what you can add certain acts of worship

right here

Even if you don't practice it, replace it

with the potential that it has for the potential that exists within it, okay? So, write all that down, then go to the other list, which lists we could probably the bigger list the mundane activities of your life, right? It might not be in terms of

hours consumed, right? You work cetera, et cetera. Write those things down. And then next to them, write down the reason why.

And the reason why

I work for the salary, Quran x, I work for the pleasure of Allah, because Allah loves the hand and give us an example. Right? I'm a student wife with a degree, put an X through it, fix it up, differentiate the purpose, right? And if you can do it as a family,

brothers and sisters in Islam,

everything

is perfect. And any mistakes I find myself
