			Any decision that we're making,
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:02
			right,
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:03
			should I
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			buy this or that? Should I eat this
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			or that? Any decision that we're making, whether
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			it is a small
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			day to day decision or a big one,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			there's always that fear we have that things
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			may not go as planned,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			or the decision that we're making might be
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			the wrong choice.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			Right?
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			So to put your trust in Allah is
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			to acknowledge that I don't know everything. I
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			don't know the future.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			I can't foresee everything. Right?
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:35
			And
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			I do my best
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			knowing what I know,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			and I put my trust in Allah that
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			he will take care of the results, and
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			whatever that happens, insha'Allah,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			there will be something good in it.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			Tawakkul doesn't mean
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			that you become lazy
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			and that you don't do anything and you
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			don't put in your effort.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			Like, for example, if you're cooking and you're
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			like, yeah, you know what? I don't know
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			whether I should put salt or not. Whether
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			I should, you know, put this
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			these spices or
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			not. You know, I just put my trust
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			in Allah and whatever happens, happens.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			No. You have to do your part. Right?
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			You have to know what you're cooking,
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			how much you're putting, what you are putting.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			But
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			if if your fear and your anxiety is
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			getting out of
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			control, that you you just want perfection.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			And out of this fear that it's the
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			the results are not going to be perfect.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:34
			You are panicking, you are getting overly worried
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			and concerned,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			that is not healthy.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:38
			Right?
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			So you counter your,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:42
			fears
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			and your worries
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			with what? With knowing that Allah is there.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			When you reach your limit,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			you know that you have reached your limit,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			but Allah
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			is there to take care of your affairs.
