00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			You know, years ago, I used to measure
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			my religious growth in terms of events, like,
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			I'm gonna do this, it's gonna change this.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			I'm gonna go to this conference, it's gonna
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			help this. I'm gonna, you know, go here,
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			and suddenly all my my life will be
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:10
			completely better.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			And, actually, as I got older, I realized
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			that that was sort of like a
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			a way to justify
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			not committing to long term change
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			but think about subhanah at the end of
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			Suratul Fett where Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala talks
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			about the growth of the Sahaba.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:26
			He says
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			that they were like a wheat a wheat
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:34
			stem
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			that came from a seed. The seed is
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			the prophet
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			and over time they became strong
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			until they could stand
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:42
			on their own.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			So just like the seed needs time to
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			grow, healthy soil, healthy water,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			enough sunlight so it can stand on its
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			own. The process of tarbiyah of a Muslim,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			to plant yourself in the right kind of
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			soil and to grow over time and not
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			give yourself too much water or too much
