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