We walk on a very generous path, and the Prophet salallahu, Alaihe

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

Salam clearly, clearly,

00:00:09 --> 00:00:13

let us know that these days are blessed not only

00:00:14 --> 00:00:20

the place but the time. So Makkah and Madin are sacred places,

00:00:21 --> 00:00:26

and these days are sacred times. There are no days in which good

00:00:26 --> 00:00:30

deeds are more superior than in these these days, the Prophet

00:00:30 --> 00:00:30

said,

00:00:32 --> 00:00:37

these days, the good deeds that we do, the the the good things that

00:00:37 --> 00:00:41

we do, these are days that are more blessed than other days, his

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

upcoming days.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:50

And the Prophet told us also, ma'am and Abu ILA, so not more. No

00:00:50 --> 00:00:56

days are more beloved to Allah, to worship in them than the 10 days

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

of

00:00:59 --> 00:01:03

so if we're looking at the year and thinking, what days do I want

00:01:03 --> 00:01:09

to put extra effort in? What days am I going to say? Well, this

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

these days I want to take seriously

00:01:13 --> 00:01:17

Subhanallah in the world of habit building and habit changing and

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

growing ourselves,

00:01:20 --> 00:01:24

whether in studying or in work, we all we recognize that there are

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

some days that, no, we just have to focus on on studying. For

00:01:27 --> 00:01:32

example, when I was at university, in the days of finals, you focus

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35

on finals, that was it like. You didn't say, oh, you know what? I

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

don't feel like studying for my finals. Now, even though that test

00:01:37 --> 00:01:41

is coming, it's okay. I'm going to study the week after finals,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

nobody does that

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

same thing at work. If you have a big project coming up at work or

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

big presentation or something like that, you don't say to yourself,

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

oh, you know what, I'm going to prepare next month, even though

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

the presentation is coming up next week, nobody does that.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:03

If you say to yourself, oh, there's a friend's wedding or a

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

sister a family member's wedding.

00:02:06 --> 00:02:09

You don't say, Oh, I'm not going to, I'm going to, I'm going to

00:02:09 --> 00:02:15

prepare for that, and I'm going to help her in in November instead of

00:02:15 --> 00:02:18

in the month her wedding is in August. We don't, we don't live

00:02:18 --> 00:02:22

like this. And I it's silly, even the examples feel silly,

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27

but yeah, somehow shaytan has a way of coming to us and telling

00:02:27 --> 00:02:33

us, oh, you're busy Now these aren't the best days for you. Now

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

you're

00:02:39 --> 00:02:44

it's summer. The days are long or what have you, but it is these

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

days that we want to embrace. Yeah.
