			And one of the signs of those people
00:00:01 --> 00:00:03 
			who are close to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05 
			that we learned from our teachers is that
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07 
			they have priorities.
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10 
			That's why Sheikh Ahmed Zuruq, he says,
00:00:15 --> 00:00:15 
			which means
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18 
			that giving priority to what demands it over
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21 
			what secondary importance is the way of the
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22 
			seekers of Allah.
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24 
			And if you think about it, especially when
00:00:24 --> 00:00:24 
			you're young,
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28 
			you are being assailed with weapons of mass
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29 
			distraction.
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31 
			And if you're old
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34 
			and what happens, we end up wasting so
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35 
			much time on
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 
			things that are not important.
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41 
			So being a good listener is a way
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43 
			to center ourselves and pay attention
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45 
			to what Allah is saying, what the prophet
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46 
			is saying,
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49 
			what our teachers are saying, what our family
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51 
			is saying, what our friends are saying.
