00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Imam al Musani teaches us the importance of
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			priorities.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			He came to Imam al Shafi'i, Rahim, and
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			he asked him he wanted to ask him
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			some questions, and these questions were sort of
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			theoretical questions and somewhat difficult
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			and not really practical.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			And so every time he asked
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			Sayedna, your mom Sheff, are you one of
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			these questions?
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			Actually, there were 5 of them. Your mom
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			Sheff, he would respond and ask him a
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			question related to, like, purification
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			or prayer.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			And then finally, after he finished asking these
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			questions and Imam Shafi kept responding with questions
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			about the obligations,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			Imam Shafi said, like, how incredible is it
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			that someone is asking about these things,
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			which are not really applicable and important,
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			But he is unaware of things that he
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			has to do at a minimum 5 times
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			a day, related to purification and prayer. And
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			then the Imam al Musa, he realized, he
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			said, you know what? I need to have
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			my priorities in order. That's the case of
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			many of us. We don't have our priorities.
