Tom Facchine – Prioritize Islam

			A lot of college students, young professionals, they're very concerned about balance. How do I
balance between, you know, my religion and my studies or my job? And how do I seek knowledge and
become more literate in Islam? And I mean, honestly, it's like looking back and I'm 33 years old. So
it's like, you know, I've been through college and you know, in the workforce had various jobs, you
just have to prioritize a slab. That's just what it is, like, everything else comes and goes, like
your work. And there's tons of things like this on the internet, they're not going to care, they're
going to replace you, you die tomorrow, your works gonna replace you in a week. They're not going to
		

			put up a plaque. I'm not going to put up a picture of you on the wall. They don't care. Right? So
why are you going to prioritize that in your life? It's your dunya it's your but it's okay. It's the
means that Allah gave you to get money, but come on, like what's really going to give you salvation?
What's really going to make you progress as a human being? Is your deen, okay, even your studies,
okay? It's like I have a test. Let's say you have an exam, you can work 20 hours on it preparation
or you can work 10 hours on it, or 15 hours, okay? It's inexhaustible the amount of time that you
can spend preparing for your things. So prioritize a slab Right? Like that's just the thing like
		

			first thing in the morning, do your court and do your studies first. And then the rest of the day
you can go about doing whatever else you know chasing your risk and whatever it is, you know, your
studies and your responsibilities and things like that. The trick is that we get tricked all the
time. But this is thinking that there's not enough time there's not enough time for a slam there's
not enough time to study Alienware to further my knowledge of a slab or things like that. I'll do it
later. Right? Well, no later never comes. It's not an issue of time. A lot controls time and a dad
or a family but later on they have a law set in the Hadith. Coetzee says I am tired. I cause the I
		

			alternate the night and day. Okay, is one second like any other second is every second the same? Are
they substitutable are they homogenous? No, they're not right. If you're doing something that you
love time flies and if you are sitting in class waiting for that bell to ring so you can go on to
your weekend or vacation time crawls. Write a lock and put bucket in time. You're not going to get
anything out of your time. If you don't please Allah first prioritize a slip and everything else is
going to fall into line.
