Shadee Elmasry – Extinguishing Mental Termites

			Today the main message besides
these two homework parts that
		

			everyone's got these little, this
little termite that gets in your
		

			head, okay? Your own attitude
about yourself because of what you
		

			see, okay outside in the world
around you, particularly when
		

			people see online airbrushed
images of people and and then you
		

			will get these images about your
these perceptions about your own
		

			self image, okay?
		

			These images are like little
termites, if you keep feeding it,
		

			by thinking about it, by looking
at other people looking at
		

			yourself, that termite becomes
vermin becomes like a rat, a rat
		

			grows even bigger becomes like a
snake, and then it kills you.
		

			Okay? It drives you to do stuff
that's really dumb and stupid. Q
		

			How do you slay these little
things, okay, by constantly
		

			remembering that, whatever Allah
has distributed in this world, let
		

			him distribute what he wants,
because we are all leaving this
		

			world and going into a better
place. Now you might say, okay,
		

			that's in my head, but it's not
affecting my heart. Like I
		

			understand it in theory, but it's
not hearing the pain that's in
		

			here.
		

			How you hear the pain that's in
here is by dedicated recitation of
		

			Quran reading its meaning in
English with pondering, okay,
		

			ponder listening a lot to the book
of Allah contemplating and
		

			dwelling upon people you know that
have gone on to the next life.
		

			Okay.
		

			And then reading reciting Quran in
Arabic If you can, to the best of
		

			your capability, whether you
understand or not, all these
		

			things, and constantly dwelling
upon leaving this world and go
		

			into another world, all of that
insha Allah in one combination or
		

			another. You should learn the
habit of slaying these little rats
		

			when they come into your head, so
that you will be mentally healthy
		

			inshallah.
