The inter acknowledge series discusses the importance of finding one's way to rewire one's habit loop, avoiding distractions, and finding routine. The speakers emphasize the need for minimalism and addiction, and provide examples of ways to manage one's addiction. They also encourage viewers to use their subconscious nervous system to turn on their habit loop, find a "haste loop" to rewire, and rewake their behavior to avoid unnecessary waste of time. The series also touches on the potential loss of one's addiction and the importance of finding a way to rewire.

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 subhanaw 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 chatbox 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 buckshaw completed Surah Ali 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 chatbox 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 abundance.
		
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 are they?
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			Our girl to Oahu ballgame.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			Taking a moment.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:59
			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
			day's activity involves a talk if you're here for Koran, I will not be giving that to you. We are
here on behalf of ignor 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 Allahumma Amin 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 bada 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 bother? 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 chef 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 hayyat and family
and everyone joining us around the world materialism Excellent. Now friends, would we identify the
opposite of minimalism is addiction Allahumma Salli ala Muhammad I said it. So before I spent 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, I'll hide 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 Al Hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah 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 fine. Is it the soul though beloved, is it the soul when you are addicted to
something is your soul gaining 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 barkcloth Vic when love upon you friends?
What is addiction? It's the feeling of that whole I need the something greater. Why do we seek
access luxury cultuur valore 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 us a Giada
and we could buy a Louie V carpet we might. Why?
		
00:09:49 --> 00:10:00
			That 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
			or there's 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 female on joining us the topic
presently female on
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:43
			Monday minimalism is ahead of us for four weeks friends four weeks of mundane 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, wouldn't 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.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:40
			Once you reach a state of abundance.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:56
			The luxury we have is the belief Allahumma Salli ala Muhammad 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 is more Xuyen and Ignacio Bucha Hawa demon Anissa evil bunny in our carnitine in more
controllata Mina the heavy 1/5 But he will fight in Musa one Matthew one anomaly one house that he
can Mata will hire to duniya the Ferrari and Jaguar switch and fold lanes. They are beautiful the
Rashard meal in the blink Blauw of this dunya are beautiful. The RM 35 And 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 realized I do live in greater abundance than that luxury along my knee as a local Huda want
to call our alpha one Xena
		
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
			Michael OLOFI confronts
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:55
			but whatever example 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 minimum minimalist Monday
for three phrases? I am enough I am worthy of Ramadan. Let's get some Eric bada I am enough I am
worthy of Ramadan.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:03
			Let's go get some your bada I am enough. I am worthy of Ramadan.
		
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 of 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 --> 00:15:00
			I'm addicted to you fill in the blank. And now that
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:48
			We don't need to add an illicit name at the bottom. I'm addicted to you fill in the blank Barak Lo
Fi COMM And welcome to everyone joining us. May we have a very fit Ramadan. Everyone who's helping
people reach their fitness guidance and their fitness peaks and let's give them baraka minimalist
Monday mental health who's on board takes one person and I want to share 10 components of this
because we cannot share the topic of mental health until we talk about addiction and we say boom
there is such a thing I'm addicted to my phone I'm addicted to thinking I'm addicted to keeping the
story of my victimhood in my head if you're not going to talk about these things in Ramadan then
		
00:15:48 --> 00:16:07
			what are you let me get a one one in the chat box ignore relief ignore relief wants to be there so
that we can help each other in these times guys? I want you to feel the mustard as if you're here.
Why do I travel to a location so that you all don't have to write here in the masala no green
screen? That's real.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:53
			Can you stop for the moment with me right now and accept? Yes. I won't leave this Ramadan with what
I know. Plagues me negative thoughts. Okay, let me throw you a quick curveball. Let me know if it's
fair to you friends. Please work with me here. If all the shades are clean if shaytaan is tied up,
okay. It's a bad depiction. I'm just giving you an imagery. You believe Satanists lined up tied up?
Yes, I do. So what about all those negative thoughts you're having? What about all those demons
inside you that you have created fed the the story that you are the victim? The What about the thing
that you festered inside you? How about those? How many people want to take responsibility on Monday
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			minimalism right now?
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:48
			And as only a relief organization can offer you, as Ignite is opening the door right now, how many
people are signing up to say, Nope, no more no more monster Allahu Akbar Al Kabira. I am going to
identify this thing within me. And I'm going to take over why aleikum wa Salam wa rahmatullahi wa
barakatuh. And so I would wish that the generation of my age who is still stuck into mom's against
drunk dry driving and the 90s campaign of just say No, bro, but drugs are so beyond the way that you
think drugs are consumed. And the people who created slot machines who make the work are then later
hired by AP, Instagrams and Facebook engineers, asking them how to make Instagram more addictive.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:18:21
			How to make social media. If I told you to design please feel free to look it up designed by the
design of the engineers who created slot machines. What keeps you going on the probability? What
makes you scroll man, I might hit one novel piece of information that'll blow my mind. I'm gonna
watch cat skateboarding, a guy doing a backflip someone opening up the curtains to their Kaaba view
haram and someone shaking some part of their body. And I'm going to do that all in 15 seconds. Do we
all need relief?
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:27
			Do we all need counsel? Do we all need therapy?
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:44
			Allahu Akbar aka VIERA guys. Now we can just say I'm just going to stop the thoughts. It's not going
to happen like that. So let's go right now to the number two step number one I'm identifying
addictions and I'd like to drop down and talk about that for a moment.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:19:17
			It is a 20 Minute of the hour, four o'clock and 20 minutes I want to take a pause to read you tend
topics? Absolutely. We need therapy from the dunya What an absolute wonderful way to look at the
book of Allah subhanaw Matata is anyone in the mood to take down 10 topics that we can explore
further on behalf of ignore 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 lofi confronts those who are looking for ways to contact as always a DM or invite at Wissam
sharif.com Invite is the best way invite it with sanctuaries.com 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 and dramas. It's not the external it's what is your void.
What is the what are you missing? Social media music and Netflix sometimes it doesn't have to be
like super haram right usually
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:25
			They 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 stall and went Oh, bro, even the internet said
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:32
			even the internet said Yikes, 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 that 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 did they do these things guys, keeps you going, keeps you going.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:22:15
			So of course you want to hear do vicar 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 an 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
			Ha be positive with regrets by taking them and turning them into what could have been and say yeah,
Allah I see it. Thank you so much. Yeah, luck. 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 --> 00:24:34
			The short, take you to turn around your life, say well, I decided on this day, so I probably spent
1000 hours of my childhood to learn this lesson. Can I get 1000? Can I get a 1k right now? Can I get
a praise of Allah 1000 Can you say 1000 in the chat box one cake that you already heard us I gave it
to you 1000 hours to make this choice. It takes 980 to memorize the whole Quran Allah wa Salatu was
Salam ala Nabi tilba Allahumma salli wa salam ala Nabi YAHWAH 1k Let's do this guy's number three is
the potential so now acknowledged, calculate every NBA series when you watch the the last dance the
NBA, Michael Jordan documentary, go back. Oh my god, we did spend 36 hours watching playoffs and
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:52
			finals and yes, this is all true. I would love to get to your 980 hours and explain to you what that
means. But that's a real number friend. So I'll top you off at 1000 and if you give me 1000 hours, I
can show you how any human being consistently can memorize the Quran and I'll actually break down
every hour.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:59
			Remember, that's 1000 hours worth of work? Absolutely. The potential six
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			This last number four let's do it guys.
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:31
			Not yet played not yet you don't need the system to memorize the Quran you need the decision and the
choice to destroy every distraction that will stop you from memorizing the Quran number four 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 --> 00:26:43
			the practice of learning to turn on your autonomic nervous system at tapping into fifth rug 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
Allahumma Amin I love it number five God is the answer. God is my anchor. Yeah heavy though. 10
times everyone. Yeah heavy. Yeah, heavy. Yeah, heavy. Yeah, heavy. Yeah, heavy. Yeah, heavy.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:27:31

fall of his breath. Everyone in the room is stuck on the hook of did my Nabhi What did he do in the
cave for 10 years lean against the wall and listen to the Bian wake up guys. God number a God is my
anchor God is my anchor. Yeah, have you yeah happy? Oh Allah ground me. Oh Allah secure me what you
all think of as vicar of gar Quran Salawat were there any of those things in the cave? They didn't
even exist was their Salah didn't even exist. So let's get off our high horses and making our
Prophet intangible make him tangible to yourself. Then see the way that he dealt with God the anchor
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:45
			number six, rewire the habit loop, rewire the habit loop, right you cannot stop an addiction. You
can only you cannot stop a habit you can only replace it
		
00:27:49 --> 00:28:38
			Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina. Muhammad the goosebumps are allowing the Ayat of Allah to take place
over you God even says in the Quran. That some of them here reminders of Allah and they're fuzzy

be the reason why I was destroyed. The consistent returning to sin and giving up on Allah subhana wa
Tada until when the last breath
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			the last breath friends
		
00:28:44 --> 00:29:10

00:29:12 --> 00:29:13
			* is real
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:19
			and there's no sorry in *. There's just next.
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:36
			Number eight consequences. We're at the 30th minute of the hour. This is what these type of sessions
are meant to do cleanse. How can I start cutting back on the minimal on the excess of my life if I
can't get unhooked from the excess
