00:00:00 --> 00:00:01

			People always ask, isn't the deen supposed to

00:00:01 --> 00:00:03

			be easy? Why are you so worried about

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

			ease? Why don't you worry about what's right?

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

			Why don't you worry about what Allah loves?

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

			How's that? Forget what's right and wrong. That's

00:00:09 --> 00:00:09

			all academic.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

			Change your paradigm. Change your focus.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

			Take yourself out of the centrality of the

00:00:15 --> 00:00:15

			thinking.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

			Take it out and ask yourself, what does

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

			Allah love? What would the prophet love? The

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

			prophet is a human being. Right? What would

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

			he love? Why don't you put that there?

00:00:24 --> 00:00:25

			In our religion, we do have a concept

00:00:25 --> 00:00:29

			of hardship. What determines hardship? Really, the pious

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

			scholars will tell you if something is a

00:00:31 --> 00:00:34

			legitimate hardship or not. But someone barely cutting

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

			it and barely putting an effort would not

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

			be the right arbitrator for that.
