Wisam Sharieff – Most Dramatic Flood In 17 Years – Hajj 2019 Vlog Day 8

			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah guys. The greatest flooding that has taken place in Mina in the last 17
years just happened. We literally had bags and things floating away. Electricity was taken out. Many
of our Hajaj asthmatics, heart patients, people who needed nebulizers, Sleep Apnea machines, anxiety
kicked in. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. Welcome friends to day eight. And today we will make some
intentions. We will play some mile markers in the ground and we are prepared for success.
		

			Or they don't have time to do this. I got one guy on the on the nebulizer in there. I've got two
heart patients waiting to be seen. Like it's I've never seen flooding like this ever. We were
completely left to the will of Allah subhanaw taala hajima Brewer
		

			As salam Alaikum on the hardest day of Jamaat, on the hardest day of May now when you're here the
whole day, it rained like it hasn't rained in 17 years, me now was flooded by like luggage was
loading on the top of like 10 inches of water. And it was it was an ordeal. I will tell you nothing.
No one in our hearts group has experienced anything like that. But the show must go on 50 people
plus the workers shoveled water with spoons with food trays with brooms. And as a result, we cleaned
out our camp. And now we're walking to gem rot. It's 400 Plus stairs. The escalator was out. But the
escalator just came back in. It is on like Donkey Kong friends. This is what hurts. Preparation is
		

			about stuff that you could never prepare for like that it would flood in the middle of the desert.
Baraka lofi come that get up on that escalator. So you jump Murad
		

			boom,
		

			boom,
		

			boom
		

			long, long, long bow holds we'll be learning in a shape on every gene. So really unique experience.
We got to
		

			pick up the food into little trays. And as a result, we're getting to take a lot of the excess food
that we have and share it with people around us. I think it's an amazing experience might be self
righteous, but right now it's fairly pretty nice.
		

			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah Good morning friends. It is the completion of Mina, Jo Marathi. We've
left and we are now here for the waffle with the final readings and Daniel tations to the Kaaba. So,
we will go and walk around the Kaaba do the walk, return a car, have lunch, then take a bus to

wa Tada Allahumma Dawa faina Bill Iman launch good friends we did it. Let's go now record the entire
Quran and help the world memo right
		

			is the virtual memorization system that we've been talking about? Thanks for helping me raise the
funds. I'll see you guys at home was salam aleikum? Wa Rahmatullah. Here we are in day number eight.
And we've talked about acceptance. We've talked about resilience. So resilience led us to being
patient with ourself. And that takes a little bit of time. But in today's portion, and as you can
see, you'll also see in the vlog for day eight, it's not just about constantly being patient with
yourself.
		

			You're not babysitting a child, there's an essence of being with yourself being with yourself. So
today, I thought four or five points, maybe you'll draw six from them, on how to be with yourself.
When you're sitting when you're in moments of post resilience, post acceptance, when you're in a
meditative state or outside, how can you be with yourself? Let's go with step number one, we've said
this before, treat yourself as if you are responsible for someone else, you usually tend to treat
them really well. So today, we're going to extend that idea and go to be your own friend. And when I
say that, be a friend, doesn't there? Isn't there an instinctive part of you that already knows how
		

			to be a friend? Okay, so now let's walk down that together. Being with yourself should be like being
with a friend. Let's talk about the first step of when you're with a friend and you make a
suggestion, do they immediately chop you down and tell you how you're not good enough and how you
failed last time? No, they usually tell you what you're doing, right? They're like, Hey, this is a
great way.
		

			And before that, excuse me, they usually like you the way that you are, even before you give the
		

			suggestion or a thought. The first thing that a friend does and you do instinctively is you're like
your friend the way you are, they are you're not spending your whole time trying to fix them.
		

			Number two, when you do make the suggestion, your friend who likes you the way that you are, will
start telling you, hey, here's what you're getting right? Here's what you succeeded with before, and
they will begin to deal with you. And that fourth step step in compassion. They like you the way
they are, they'll tell you what you've done right? Already. They're telling you and dealing with you
with compassion. And number four, a friend will usually tell you Mistakes happen, failures happen.
Remember, try fail, learn, try again, your friend will be there, or a friend should be there to tell
you mistakes happen. We all mess up. And we we you need to know that they're there as a friend. And
		

			I think
		

			if you fall back into this and stop looking at yourself first. Do you know how to be a friend? Yes,
you do. Instinctively, you know how to do that. So today Bismillah. I am asking you to learn to be
with yourself the way you would be with a friend, taking time to enjoy the things that you do enjoy
liking you the way that you are. And now a friend doesn't just accept you the way you are, they will
meet you halfway in order to reach your goals. And that's how I hope you would do it and say, hey, I
want to do this. I want to improve this. I want to grow in this space in my life. I want to
personally develop this character about me. And then meet yourself. Meet yourself like a friend with
		

			compassion, see what you've gotten right? And get yourself a plan. You remember we talked about
this, about fixing the things that are the immediate problems and the long term issues that you see
us make a plan for them.
		

			Meet your plan the way you would meet your friends plan. And I hope that I can I not hope because
hope is empty. I know that you and I are going to take acceptance, resilience and patience, fuse
them together, to no longer have to tolerate ourselves, but to love being with ourselves. So long is
upon us all friends. We did it. Thank you for closing out this day with me. Now let's prepare for
the journey home and carrying all of our intentions with us. Thank you again, a day of being with
ourself
