00:02:20--> 00:03:07

In one of my trips to Malaysia, I had a person who traveled with me. And he drove me crazy in that trip, because he's very negative. And the whole trip complaining about everything about you know, his first, I think trip to that part of the world. And he keep comparing, you know, whatever he experienced in the west, to the Watusi in the Far East, and it became like too much. So this is the only with a way to get guy, you know, in a good mood. I took him to one of my favorite dessert place in Malaysia. Anybody been to KL know what I'm talking about. It's called Big Apple donuts place.

So no matter what you do, some people always have this negative way of looking at the world. You know, they just look at the world from this lens of ours, there's something bad or was there something wrong? Or was there is something missing? You know, the only thing he can see in the dots is the hole, not the doughnuts. You know, and it was interesting to see people like this and I experienced in my life. A lot of people live their life. While they believe that you know, evil and bad things and diseases and calamities surrounding them and no way you will survive. And I don't know how people like this will ever be happy in their life. While they always expect bad things to

00:04:10--> 00:04:50

happen and always expect the terrible thing outcome will come and things will not go in the right way either. It is hassled either too. Is it somebody gives me evil eyes somebody you know did something bad to me. Or they always there's something there. You know to ruin your life as if life meant to be just nothing but difficulties one after another. Well the reality is yes, that has difficulties in life. There is challenges in life, but didn't each one of them that is a gifts. There is opportunities for you.

repentance to Allah Maha toga. Repentance, Allah is nothing but optimism, but to put hope that Allah not only will accept you back, but he will reward you, he will elevate you, he will erase your sin. He will, you know, draw you nearer to Him, and He will guide you. That's that's a great sense of optimism. Can you imagine if you go to the pinch Allah while you have all this pessimism or negativity, now, you know that the tilba will raise and will wipe out your sins and you have that sense of optimism and trust in Allah subhanho wa Taala Yes, we always have feed from our sins, but that should not take away the sense of optimism, the sense of trust in Allah Subhana Allah, the sins

00:08:14--> 00:08:34

I remember one brother for telling the story of his he no struggle of having children for so many years with his with his family. Then one brother told him once Do you really make dua? He said yes. Do you really really make that while your heart really full of you know, you're certain about it.

00:08:35--> 00:08:50

He said, You know what, before you make your dad today, it's all about your child. Let's go. And he go and he bought one for him from the mall. A set of clothes for newborn baby said that's put it in your closet.

00:08:52--> 00:08:57

Then he said I want you to make Tao while you're sure you already have the clothes for the baby.

00:08:59--> 00:09:03

And Allah subhanaw taala accepted from him and he has to he got twins actually.

00:09:05--> 00:09:47

But when these beasts and he said yes, there is a consequence it is Allah Subhan Allah made it happen that day.

And I hope that you will give me what I'm asking for. You know, that call concept of Kadar that Allah subhanaw taala said things happen when means are taken. When hundreds are removed. I'll come there where Allah subhanho wa Taala said, whatever I decreed upon you is always the best for you, even if you don't see it right now. But the outcome eventually will be always the

00:12:44--> 00:13:20

hamdu Lillahi wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah one of the beautiful things in our religion that all psychologists talk about when it comes to the sense of optimism is the importance of how you carry yourself. That's why in our Sharia, it's important to dress nice, you know, you might have no control over your look but you have control over their style. That's something you have control over, dress nice smell nice, you know, walk with in Allah subhanaw taala when you describe the believers and salted Furqan about Rama one of the first thing to talk about how they walk

The first thing they teach that gives you build a confidence lead to a positive outlook to the world in their face and taught us to smile and to always keep your smile
