			When it comes to making changes, and I'm referring to positive changes in your life, you will always
have a choice to make. And that includes bad habits that you've been indulging in for the past many,
many years, including *, gaming, Facebook, social media, whatever, whatever addiction,
whatever bad habit that you are doing right now, you have a choice to make to get rid of it to break
free from that cycle, you have a choice to make all the scientific methods, the spiritual methods
are there for you to just apply to just execute, you have chosen to surrender to the situation that
you are in at that present moment. So blame no one. But yourself. My brothers and sisters in Islam,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:01:32
			I remember I have a friend of mine, a very dear friend of mine who moved from one country to another
country, and that another country was a non Muslim country. And before moving, he told the
supervisor that I do not want to engage in any meetings in any, you know, dinners outside the office
hours where alcohol will be served. So he told him, You know what, this is a non Muslim country, and
alcohol is just regular and normal and served everywhere in every restaurant. He said, Well, that's
my condition. That's my choice. If I want to get that promotion and move from where I am now to
another country, that would be my choice. I want to maintain that purity of my faith. And that would
		
00:01:32 --> 00:02:13
			be not having anything to do with alcohol. They refused that proposal. And the brother remained in
that country for a year or so. And then they needed him again to move to that same country to that
same non Muslim country. He again put forth the same conditions he said, I will move provided that I
will have nothing to do with alcohol. Guess what my brothers and sisters in Islam, he's performed
his proposal that time was approved, and he will he and he moved to that country and he excelled in
that country. He stayed there for three or four years and he earned a lot of money Mashallah Tamara
Colombia, Allah bless him, and he was able to practice his faith according to the commands of Allah
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:57
			subhanaw taala that you shouldn't do anything with alcohol. And the same applies to *. You
have a choice to make today you had you had a choice to make yesterday you had a choice to make
years ago, but it was you who did not, you know, have the guts to go through the challenges that are
associated with your choice. Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned in the Quran is paradise better or
shadow to Zaku or the tree of the comb Allah subhanaw taala is giving you a choice to make. What do
you think paradise or that tree of the comb and that tree of the comb prepared for the wrongdoers?
Remember, the wrongdoers could be a person who wronged himself by sinning against Allah subhanaw
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:45
			taala and that includes falling into * and whatever sins associated with it. And or it
could also refer to wrong wronging others wronging your wife, you know, oppressing your wife by by
not fulfilling her desires by not fulfilling her rights as a spouse. All these things can be the
result of engaging in * the punishment is shuttled to Zakouma Allah. Allah is giving you a
choice, Allah is telling you paradise, or what will be your choice. So here is your decision for
today in sha Allah that you should make, I will choose tell yourself I will choose to call a friend
to ask him to go for a walk instead of watching * I will choose I will make a choice to go
		
00:03:45 --> 00:04:14
			for a walk or to run or to shut down the internet or to even give up my smartphones for a period of
time. Instead of watching * you have got a choice to make my brothers and sisters what
with that choice be my brothers and sisters in Islam all the previous episodes and the links are to
