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.

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 that home Imana it's your Eman saying where's this guy been my whole life? Number six rewire the habit loop number seven Johanna HELL IS REAL hell as a consequence, if I continue it even giving talks but I stick with my addictions I will go to hell. I will enter Jahannam and my addictions will 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

the last breath I will fight this and never give up on Allah subhanho wa Taala but in the meantime, HELL IS REAL Hara hell is where I will be surrounded with Alka sleepy Mina sama if he would no matter what I do work, but I will be surrounded by my sins. God is my anchor of rewire my habit loop to end at the hard brick wall of the car accident spinning out of control.

00:29:12--> 00:29:13

Hell is real

00:29:15--> 00:29:19

and there's no sorry in hell. 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

00:29:38--> 00:29:42

has to be hola hula hula that all the body parts relax.

00:29:44--> 00:29:46

Number eight consequence

00:29:49--> 00:29:51

setup consequences in your life.

00:29:52--> 00:29:59

Tell someone make an audio make a video. Put it on a timer. If I if I

00:30:00--> 00:30:02

I fall into my sin again

00:30:08--> 00:30:29

00:30:30--> 00:30:34

get a counselor and a therapist so that you have a sense of

00:30:35--> 00:30:36

accountability

00:30:37--> 00:30:52

and number nine when it hits supercharging a dua when it hits What are you going to so what you made the decision and you find out the destruction that it's caused you added up all the hours and you made the potential

00:30:54--> 00:31:14

you made the great potential and the success levels success loss then you found out what you could do with your time then you learn to turn on your autonomic nervous system then you found God as the anchor then you rewired your habit loop and replaced the habit then you said HELL IS REAL Get your act together because hell is a real

00:31:15--> 00:31:52

setting up real consequences getting a counselor getting a therapist getting help as Michael Phelps the commercial always tells you you can find an online counselor Akena relief also has these services and if you think this is great then support it never leave they do counseling they of course they who pick the topic guys, why am I talking about the Jew either 99 names they pick the topic so that ignor relief could provide you help put a one one in the chat box if you're if you know that you are killing it right now that you are in a very amazing safe place where you should be in the month of Ramadan

00:31:53--> 00:32:06

number nine consequences are setup but guess what after all of this it's gonna hit you're gonna say I wish I could just go I just finished eating you know it's it's I just do it after I eat

00:32:08--> 00:32:14

it just helps me fall asleep if you could understand just just for the moment if you could just I only do it right before I go to

00:32:16--> 00:32:28

just the same excuses that someone who is addicted to an anger mix just all the excuses that someone makes about anxiety and being flustered all the time and being into an addicted to negative thoughts

00:32:30--> 00:32:45

when it hits supercharger dua have a mantra and affirmation. Let me show you one or abana Morning gunned down gun now elaida

00:32:48--> 00:33:42

What you name mostly all I trust in You, oh Allah I trust in You, Oh Allah, I believe you wrote this story and you will make this story come to for a wish and you will make all of this come to pass and it will all make sense. You need to have that affirmation has to be a law has to be a law has to be Allah. Allah is sufficient ALLAH is sufficient ALLAH is sufficient. Allahumma inni A while back, squeeze the sponge of love. keep squeezing the sponge of love and it will keep pouring upon you find a remembrance find that dhikr find a phrase and then supercharge it. Go back to the feeling and even if you can find your therapist may help you find rewiring activities but friends, I dare you. Can

00:33:42--> 00:33:52

you think of the addiction right now? Can you imagine what it feels like? Can you go back to the satisfaction before the guilt before the shame I got it. I'll hold it back.

00:33:53--> 00:34:04

Go there. Go to that feeling. Go to the trance that it lets you fall into go into the space that it creates, go into the numbness that it gives you

00:34:05--> 00:34:21
