00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 
			It's very important we don't worship happiness.
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05 
			Our goal is not to always be happy.
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07 
			Your goal is to be a good servant
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09 
			to Allah. Again, your focus has to be
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10 
			on Allah, not on yourself.
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12 
			So it's very important to realize
00:00:13 --> 00:00:13 
			constriction,
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16 
			grief, sadness, upsetness
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19 
			does have a place. And if Allah ordained
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21 
			it for a certain reason, accept it. Here's
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23 
			the trick. The faster you come to terms
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25 
			that this has a place in life, And
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28 
			if Allah ordains it, don't fight it back.
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30 
			That is the fastest route to minimize all
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31 
			your sadness
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34 
			by accepting it, realizing it's part of life,
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36 
			realizing it's part of god's will for us,
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 
			part of Allah's test for us, but more
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40 
			than that, realizing its purpose.
00:00:41 --> 00:00:41 
			Allah
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44 
			said we never made them taste any punishment
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46 
			except so they can return back to us.
