AI: Summary ©

The inter acknowledge series discusses the concept of "IT Hear Nothing" and how it is impossible to live in abundance. The speakers offer tips on how to acknowledge one's feelings and actions, including minimizing excesses and avoiding "can you begin to downsize" to encourage others to take pressure. They also emphasize the importance of finding a way to stop addiction and rewaking behavior, finding counseling and therapists, and rewiring small habits to build habit pools. The series ends with a call to action for a group to help people with addiction.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:34
			llahi wabarakatuhu brothers and sisters, welcome. Here we are in our intercession series. I'm
blessed to be with you. And today we're focusing on Monday minimalism. If you would take a moment to
praise Allah subhanho wa Taala in the now, you can't talk about mindfulness without being aware of
where you are, and putting yourself in a present place day number five of Ramadan. And once you
identify that you're five days into the 10 days of mercy.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:44
			If you would begin today with a single one one in the chat box to acknowledge you are going to have
mercy on yourself.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:01:05
			And if you can acknowledge that you'll be having mercy on yourself, then Monday, minimalism is going
to mean a lot for you. So I want to acknowledge together in the tone of my speech in the speed of my
speech.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:12
			That Monday minimalism is about cutting back on the excesses in our life.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:59
			So if you would begin today, while a coma salam, taqwa and family while a coma salam to everyone
joining us. I don't want to take your time to intro into the fact that it's Ramadan. We are five
days we are completed surah Bekaa completed sobre la Milan and approximately 64 verses into Surah
Nisa, what should have the first five days of Ramadan done for us. And before we get lost in guilt
and shame, remember today is about the now. So if nothing has happened, then all of that nothingness
was a build up to today the fifth day of Ramadan where I would recognize
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:50
			the excesses in my life in order to scale down to Monday minimalism, a one one in the chat box. If
you're ready to take up this responsibility and check in on yourself once a week. And if I may get a
little bit of interaction from you. What do you intend to get back from Monday minimalism. So for
everyone here, immediately, I pray that you have identified that you choose your thoughts, and you
choose what you let into your life. So whatever is beaming into your phone presently, who is in
charge of that, who is in control of that
		
00:02:51 --> 00:03:22
			you are and so whoever takes responsibility over everything that they are going to bring into their
life, especially in the month of Ramadan, where every minute of solitude, every minute of isolation
is an act of worship, not going out and me being in a space so that everyone else doesn't have to
come out social distancing yourself in the month of Ramadan, could every single minute of that not
going out count as your a bother.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:34
			So step zero of our minimalist approach. Look around at the abundance you are already in.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:04:24
			Cutting down usually involves in our minds letting go and discarding of things. And when we feel
like we don't have enough. Think about it with me here for a second. When you are present like oh,
but I don't have enough. How can I talk about minimalism? It is a negation of I live in abundance.
Let me have a one one. praise your Lord. If you live in abundance, what am I forcing you to do or
trying to get you to do via pressing one one in the chat box. I am trying to convince you that you
can take control over your moment to moment awareness that you can take control over what's
happening, what you think and what you do. And that if that is the case, you live in abundance
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:31
			has to be Allahu La Ilaha Illa. Who Ali,
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			our girl to work on blogging
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			taking a moment
		
00:04:42 --> 00:05:00
			and now friends if you can acknowledge step one, AsSalamu Alaikum and welcome to ignore reliefs,
intercession, intercession. We are here from the relief aspect for Monday minimalism for you if
you're jumping right into the activities to
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:51
			This activity involves a talk if you're here for on I will not be giving that to you. We are here on
behalf of Aigner, reliefs, intercession session and to me, I want to provide a moment so if everyone
here can acknowledge the zero level of Monday minimalism, the first step to Monday minimalism is to
look around and acknowledge the abundance you presently live in a lot more. I mean, if you're
joining us right now in the now are you in a state of the fifth day of Ramadan, the second month of
isolation mandatory being on your own is a form of very bad I think about it for a second guys.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:06:43
			Mandatory isolation social distancing is being requested of you. So every minute you spend inside is
it any bada? Absolutely every minute that I choose to bring a certain thing into my feed? Is it a
choice of what I'm allowing into my head? Yes. And the opposite of living in abundance is saying I
don't have enough. What are these guys talking about? When it comes to what are these guys talking
about when it comes to Monday minimalism? Zero point would you put it in your own chat box? Would
you say that in order for me to minimalize downsize is the key phrase for today. In order for me to
downsize in my life during a time of quarantine?
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:58
			Zero point I need to acknowledge that I live in abundance. Point number one though. What is the
opposite of minimalism? Would anyone try this one with me?
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03
			What is the opposite of minimalism?
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:11
			excess extravagance not taking responsibility of your own time
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:23
			if you just yeah someone let the sheriff talk he's gonna give me spirituality he'll make me feel the
opposite is hoarding The opposite is excess.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:08:20
			So may I take us from point zero that we are yes and all I say is Alhamdulillah there we go friends.
There we go. So can we acknowledge the abundance and say Alhamdulillah Exactly. But Hyatt and family
and to everyone joining us around the world materialism excellent. Now friends, would we identify
the opposite of minimalism is addiction a lot more severe? Now Mohammed I said it. So before I spend
four weeks with you talking about how we can downsize and eat a little bit less and talk a little
bit less? Can you come? Ah, heedlessness? Absolutely, allayed and family bark low FICO to be
heedless, and friend, when heedlessness takes over does it not become addiction.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:50
			And this is a place where many of us don't want to begin. But until we recognize that we live in
abundance, oh hamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah and then acknowledge that every one of us has
an addiction, a thing that we are using to fill the void of Allah subhanho wa Taala whether that be
a more illicit addiction, or that be addiction to negative thoughts, addiction to skepticism
		
00:08:52 --> 00:09:06
			or our soul is fun. Is it the soul though Beloved, is it the soul? When you are addicted to
something? Is your soul getting fulfillment? Do you feel spiritual happiness at the end of that?
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:47
			You are masking and numbing the feeling and thus we exceed bark loafie common love upon you friends.
What is addiction? It's the feeling of that whole I need the something greater. Why do we seek
excess luxury cultuur vollure and supreme Why is there such a thing as a hyper beast? Why friends?
Why does Why would we consider buying a Louie v carpet if he made a Johnny mas if he made a set
Giada and we could buy a Louie v carpet we might Why
		
00:09:49 --> 00:10:00
			then need for contentment beyond this world is undoubtably inside of us. It's our soul. Our soul is
saying there's a hereafter
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:23
			There is a hereafter and you guys are complaining about the elevator music we're in an elevator
heading on our way through the journey paradise and we're like oh my god it's so hot in this
elevator I can't take the sound in here. So would we for the moment theme on joining us the topic
presently FEMA on
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:43
			Monday minimalism is ahead us of us for four weeks friends four weeks of Monday minimalism. The zero
point can you begin to downsize the key word? The key word is can you begin to downsize the best
that you have?
		
00:10:45 --> 00:11:30
			Can you begin to downsize and give away before you recognize you live in abundance? No, you can't.
Until I recognize how beautiful the things I have are. I can't say I live in abundance Thank you for
letting me touch the sky of luxury God I get it. So if you would come with me today to that first
zero point and live live till you have some luxuries of your life stop and if you're holding $1,000
phone stop it like oh god Thank you Allah. Oh, it's four important things. Come on, bro. Five years
ago if you were holding something like that in your hand would you be like yo look at what I got
bro.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:35
			minimalism cannot happen until you live in abundance accepted.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:40
			Once you reach a state of abundance.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:56
			The luxury we have is the belief I love my Sunday I love Mohammed but let's get beyond the cliche of
Iman is good but I hear you but I want them to hear the bells in their heart. I want them to hear
the inner voice saying
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:33
			but i is more Xueyan and Ignacio chahatein and Mesa you will have money in our panauti min mo
kantara tominaga hubby one fifth but he won't play the Muslim one Matthew one unami one house that
Luca Mata hierarchy dunia that the Ferrari and jaguars which and fold lanes they are beautiful the
Rashard meal in the blink Blau of this dunya are beautiful. The Rm 35 in your Frank Mueller will
rock your world in the dunya. Your Birkin bag will make you feel like a million bucks. Okay, not
negating red bottom shoes. But then
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:44
			once I realize I do live in greater abundance than that luxury, I love my local Buddha what to call
well if I was Lena
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:58
			and my friends, we take the peer pressure from the friends and we welcome it and we say who are the
friends I wish to have in paradise?
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:09
			Who are the friends I wish to have in paradise? So yes, I won't be accepted in this circle. But I've
chosen a greater circle my friend
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:20
			There we go. Your $60 phone does probably look like my phone. So if we are all together
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			Mark loafie conference
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:55
			but whatever exemple might hit your heart and you might be like oh Ferrari or Fresh Prince of Bel
Air, whatever would mesh with your heart or even to be a great religious person. These are all sites
that we are setting considering we are not enough Will anyone join me on Milla minimalist Monday for
three phrases I am enough I am worthy of Ramadan. Let's get some anegada I am enough I am worthy of

00:14:05 --> 00:14:53
			So today I am asking you to live in abundance recognize that you already live in abundance. And now
before you downsize point number three is beginning to downsize the luxury. But what is the Excuse
me? What is the number one thing what is the opposite of minimalism addiction? The opposite of our
approaching let me downsize is addiction where the need has taken over. And when we think addiction
we think illicit drugs or activities but many times and I'm looking for the acceptance right now.
I'm addicted to thoughts. I'm addicted to my rationale. I'm addicted to the control I have that I
believe I control what's happening.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			I'm addicted to you fill in the blank and now the
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:48

Drunk Driving driving and the 90s campaign have just say no, bro, but drugs are so beyond the way

00:17:48 --> 00:18:21
			addictive. How to make social media. If I told you what to design, please feel free to look it up

that all in 15 seconds. Do we all need relief?
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:27

behalf of ignor relief so that we can keep our Monday minimalism. clean and pure and we can work on
raising the bar Are you ready for 10?
		
00:19:20 --> 00:20:00
			Mark loafie conference those are looking for ways to contact is always a DM or invite at masam
sharif.com invite is the best way invite it with some Sharif calm. I can't tell you how to overcome
anything before we learn the system. Because identifying the thing you are addicted to whether
illicit drug and or watching soap operas in dramas. It's not the external it's what is your void.
What is the what are you missing? Social media music on Netflix? Sometimes it doesn't have to be
like super haraam, right? We usually
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:25
			Think is illicit horrible things, Nabil just spending four hours on a streaming service or row
scrolling through YouTube endlessly till you hit the bottom of your recommended list. And you feel
like ah, has anyone scrolled to the bottom of their YouTube recommended list or ever got to the
bottom of the Instagram stole and went? Oh bro even the internet said
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:32
			even the internet said he likes you need to get off this altavilla
		
00:20:34 --> 00:21:24
			when the thing meant to make you addicted to it says I got nothing more bro. I've done recommended
it all. Go with me now. 10 topics number one is the title of today. The choice addiction topic
number one the choice I have the choice if it's anger, if it's drugs, if it's wandering of the eyes,
if it's music, if it's being obsessed with stories, and that's what sitcoms and dramas are they tell
you elaborate Westworld West Nile stories that that take you from one world into the next week break
your reality which put morals up against a social norms Breaking Bad, tells you stories of moral
decision, like walking dead that you start thinking about, oh, would I cut my mom's off? arm off to
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:30
			save my sister? Why do they do these things guys, keeps you going, keeps you going.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:22:15
			So of course you want to hear music or do remembrance, but you won't be able to until you make a
choice. I'm not telling you what the solution is I'm telling you that on the first step towards
minimalism towards finding something greater than yourself, you make a choice. I choose that this is
something in my life, it is destroying me and I recognize that number to the destruction. If you can
choose to recognize that there is an addiction in your life and that you choose to stop it. You stop
on the dime right here and you fess up. You take a piece of paper and you write it down. What are
the things that this thing has already destroyed? What has 16 seasons of Pretty Little Liars done to
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:53
			me? What has 15 years of the NFL? The NBA? What has it done for me? What time what could I have done
with 1600 hours or 160 hours worth of Lord of the Rings and fantasy movies? What could I have done
with all Fast and Furious 97 volumes? What could I have done? Don't regret document. document number
three, the potential level of success? What could have happened? Go ahead, find out that average
Bollywood movie runs for this long calculate stop for a bit and be like
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:58
			that's 100 hours.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:22
			High be positive with regrets by taking them and turning them into what could have been and say
Yala. I see it. Thank you so much. Yeah, a lot. I needed to spend 100 hours in my youth so that I
could learn this single lesson that I now have control over every single hour.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:33
			Okay, you're you're meeting it with negativity fails so that you can get up and change the plan, the
choice, the destruction.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:24:31
			The show can take you to turn around your life, say well, I decided to on this day. So I probably

the choice to destroy every distraction that will stop you from memorizing the Quran number for
Monday minimalism meditation, I would like to give a description of what meditation is because it
gets too complicated. Only one word and we will leave it learn to tap into your sub
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:38
			conscious nervous system. That's what we're going to call it your subconscious nervous system.
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:46
			autonomic nervous system.
		
00:25:49 --> 00:26:44
			The practice of learning to turn on your autonomic nervous system at tapping into fifth right gets
to spiritual so meditation gets lost learning to physically turn on the autonomic nervous system
through a series of breathing fair. Can we take that as step number four? No thicker and whatever.
That's great. We'll get to that level. Can you shroud off the concept that meditation is intangible
and spiritual, and go to the pituitary gland and say Oh Allah, I'm going to learn to turn it on. I
love my Amin. I love it. Number five God is the answer. God is my anchor. Yeah, a few 10 times
