You know,

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

we're going through this book on remembering Allah,

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

and I thought, like, again, what an opportunity

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

zikr, you know, ultimately for me in my

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

life,

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

the best moments

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

of remembering Allah

00:00:20 --> 00:00:21

that have been,

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

like, in these moments.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:25

Not necessarily.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

Of course, I can help you up those

00:00:29 --> 00:00:29

steps.

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

You doing okay? Yeah. I'm doing I'm doing

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

great. And hopefully,

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

if the city attorney works his magic, I'll

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

have Bannister see it with the You need

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

help inside? You okay? I'm fine now. I

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

live right here. I'm not crazy. You don't

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

have to worry. I'm fine now. You want

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

me to carry this for you? Nope.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49

No. Oh, okay. Come holler at me. You

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

got a big guy here. Thank you. Thank

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

you, man. You have a great night. That's

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

sweet spot. Alright. Pray for us.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

So just like that, man. You see that?

00:01:00 --> 00:01:00

Crazy.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

You know, I like

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06

the vlog version because that kind of unscripted

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

stuff happens.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

Allah bless me to be in the service

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

of somebody, especially my neighbor. You know what

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

I mean? Like, ah, feel

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

lucky.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:16

But

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

as I was just saying, right, that will

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

that's what makes these moments incredible.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

And that's why, you know, New York, the

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

weather's been cold, so I haven't been able

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

to vlog like I want to.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:28

But

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

we're talking about remembering Allah.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

And I think this chapter in particular is

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

beautiful because

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38

remembering Allah in the morning and the evening

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

is kinda like

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

the state of being in spiritual resistance to

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

the continued

00:01:46 --> 00:01:46

encroachment

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

of, like, the secular world.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

You know, most people when they wake up,

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

what do they think about?

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

First thing they do is jump on their

00:01:56 --> 00:01:56

phones.

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

First thing they do is think about the

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00

stock market

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

or Bitcoin or whatever. Right?

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

For the Muslim, the first thing we do,

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07

we set out in the morning,

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

is remember Allah.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

So the hadith in front of us is

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

the hadith of Abdullah ibn Masood

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

who said that,

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

you know,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

Sayidina Muhammad

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

he

00:02:23 --> 00:02:23

said

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

whoever

00:02:26 --> 00:02:26

says

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

You know,

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

Marra could have

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33

a lot of meanings.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

It can mean a 100 times exactly

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

or it could mean, like, abundantly.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

Whoever says

00:02:43 --> 00:02:44

we talked about

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

the idea that our mind is swimming

00:02:47 --> 00:02:50

in its attempt to find anything like Allah.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:50

And

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

eventually, we just

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

we just have to flow with it because

00:02:55 --> 00:02:55

that's impossible.

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

Like, just now. Right? That lady. Right?

00:03:00 --> 00:03:00

You

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

know, like or

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

like the ability to be there, to help

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05

her and serve her.

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

Who could orchestrate that?

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

You know what I mean?

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12

And then secondly,

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15

We've never talked about this before,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:18

but the and could have a few meanings.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20

First meaning is like,

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

the the reason I say is

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

because of my

00:03:25 --> 00:03:29

So the here is called that caused it

00:03:29 --> 00:03:32

to happen. The second meaning could be

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

that's the stronger opinions. Like,

00:03:39 --> 00:03:40

I praise Allah

00:03:42 --> 00:03:42

with his

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

I recognize, excuse me,

00:03:46 --> 00:03:47

Allah's transcendence

00:03:47 --> 00:03:48

with his praise.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

So I think it's incredible we start our

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

day. You think about

00:03:53 --> 00:03:54

the when Allah created.

00:03:56 --> 00:03:58

We recognize your your

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

your sacredness.

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

We start our day

00:04:02 --> 00:04:04

in the face of so much

00:04:04 --> 00:04:05

difficulties.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

Advice

00:04:08 --> 00:04:09

are enough

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

being constantly bombarded with

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

the material.

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

We recognize that all this right here

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18

is nothing compared to the sanctity

00:04:19 --> 00:04:22

and infiniteness of Allah. So you, like,

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

you think about it. Right?

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26

In these moments

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

now I'm going to work. It's the evening,

00:04:29 --> 00:04:29

but

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

it's, like,

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

difficult sometimes to keep that balance

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

between

00:04:36 --> 00:04:37

being driven for dunya

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

and focused on the so

00:04:42 --> 00:04:42

thikr

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

is allergies while new york's something else

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

The Thikr is really a way to contextualize

00:04:48 --> 00:04:48

and reflect

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

and a proof that we

00:04:52 --> 00:04:52

can contextualize

00:04:54 --> 00:04:54

worshiping

00:04:56 --> 00:04:57

Allah within any context

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

whether we

00:05:01 --> 00:05:02

are surrounded by people or not,

00:05:03 --> 00:05:04

whether we're on the way to work,

00:05:05 --> 00:05:06

on the way to the masjid.

00:05:07 --> 00:05:08

You know what I mean? It's tough, but,

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

like, it's easy. Like, none of these people

00:05:12 --> 00:05:13

are aware

00:05:14 --> 00:05:16

that you and I are with Allah.

00:05:21 --> 00:05:22

But we're doing

00:05:23 --> 00:05:24

it. So it's remarkable,

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

you know, that

00:05:27 --> 00:05:28

immediately recognizes

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32

Allah's transcendence in the face of an ever

00:05:32 --> 00:05:33

encroaching secular

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

material

00:05:35 --> 00:05:36

as well as

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40

it can be only really framed down globalization

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

as like a post

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

neo hellenistic

00:05:44 --> 00:05:44

paganry.

00:05:45 --> 00:05:46

And heath agree

00:05:47 --> 00:05:48

we come out subhanAllah.

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

Well, bihamdi means 2 things. Number 1, by

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

Allah's I'm able to make

00:05:55 --> 00:05:56

or it's like I'm doing

00:05:58 --> 00:05:58

with

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

the praise of Allah. So,

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

little short reflection, you can listen to like.
