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.
