00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 
			What is the greatest act of worship that
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04 
			you can do as an ordinary teen?
00:00:05 --> 00:00:05 
			The prophet
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08 
			said that there's nothing more beloved to him
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10 
			than the farad. Right? The things that are
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13 
			obligatory in the religion. So, you know, the
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15 
			discussion has to be, are you praying 5
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18 
			times a day? You know, are you respecting
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20 
			your parents? Are you you know, these sorts
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22 
			of things, the basics. You don't skip to
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25 
			the extras before you take care of the
00:00:25 --> 00:00:25 
			basics.
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27 
			But if you've got the basics down, then
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28 
			when it comes
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30 
			to going above and beyond, doing more than
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32 
			what's basically required,
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34 
			then studying Islam, you know,
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37 
			You know, figuring out studying the religion and
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39 
			knowledge of the religion is the best thing
00:00:39 --> 00:00:39 
			that you could do,
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43 
			other than the the basic, you know, like,
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44 
			from the Noahf.
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47 
			Right? Even to the point where Imam Malik,
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50 
			after the adan went off, would continue studying.
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52 
			And so some people would actually, you know,
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53 
			be like, hey. What are you doing? You
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54 
			know? It's like you should be praying. You
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56 
			know? The time between the iqamah excuse me.
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58 
			The adhan and the iqamah is, you know,
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00 
			a blessed time to pray, du'a, these sorts
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02 
			of things. He said, yes. But,
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05 
			you know, studying knowledge, reviewing knowledge of Islam
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07 
			was more beloved to him.
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08 
			And so,
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11 
			it's there. It's there. You know, the the
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13 
			prophet, he said that the entire
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15 
			dunya is,
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16 
			right, is cursed.
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19 
			And everything in it is cursed, he said,
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20 
			except
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21 
			for remembering Allah
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24 
			and what's tied to or what follows from
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25 
			remembering Allah
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29 
			and the 'alam and the Mutalim. Right? The
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30 
			the 1 who teaches
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31 
			and the 1 who learns.
00:01:32 --> 00:01:32 
			Right? So,
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34 
			studying Islam is the best thing you could
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36 
			possibly do. I don't know the person's situation,
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39 
			but memorizing the Quran, understanding the Quran, that
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40 
			has to be
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43 
			front and center. And if you don't understand
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45 
			Arabic, then you need to understand Arabic in
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47 
			order to understand the Quran,
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49 
			and that'll keep you busy.
