00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			Marina de la
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			ilaha illa
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			Allah Allah Allah,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:15
			Allah.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:19
			Allah.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			Yeah.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			Are you unhappy with your relationship with yourself, with
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:25
			your family, with your friends? Do you feel stuck somewhere is as you try to bring change into life,
but it's not happening? And it does not to satisfaction?
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:42
			Are you happy with what you're doing right now? Are you satisfied with where you are right now? Or
do you think that you can do more, and you become better neighbors and most for most of us, they
always, they always plan ahead.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:56
			Even when they reach a very old age, this is our goal for the future, which means they have hope for
change. However, the idea of change itself for many is very scary.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:09
			It's very scary, because change means you can put yourself into the uncertain. And perhaps it just
makes you vulnerable, you don't know if things are only working very well for you. While
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			many of us are not satisfied
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:20
			with their relationship with Allah subhanho wa Taala, they convinced themselves that what I'm doing
is better than nothing.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:22
			So therefore, they
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:30
			come to us, I raised my status. And therefore if I change, that might be actually worse.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:49
			And this is absolutely wrong. This is absolutely wrong. You know, change is one of the fundamental
principles of this life. It's one of the primary principles of dislike, because without change,
there's no growth, and there's no growth in your dead as
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:56
			you're growing. And going big change. This is one of the ways
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:05
			and what goes on in this creation malos change, the little change, and wants to come
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:11
			in for us in this fight, and this world? How can we benefit from this.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			And you know,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			why not take the chance
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			and bring positive change to your life. And
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:34
			I would like to share with you seven ways for bringing positive change to your life. But first,
let's understand the meaning of that.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:42
			And then First of all, the first double check the power data has made into this world.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:51
			A lot of data goes his ways and his lows in this creation are less powerful than some sort of suit
another law
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:59
			that is the last day to be established in this life in many, many,
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:01
			many
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:18
			laws for us, so that we can see a major like point of reference, these are constant and consistent
things are lost, how am I going to make them for us as point of reference? So we really change your
brain change through the loss of power without changes.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:29
			And you might say well, you know, that's that's good. Marty, my situation is very actually desperate
situation. No changes can improve my situation. Well, that's what
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			breaks is what is lost
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:43
			by making miracles, because miracles communities, so a lot of these are not the supernatural,
natural
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:51
			profits and even righteous, righteous people eat a lot
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56
			for moose and Eastern Allah has given this
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			battle Baba
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:09
			When I was asked to explain what he was holding in his hand, no, it sounds a lot. Awesome. So what
is this?
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:12
			What is this?
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			And what do you do with it?
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:25
			Especially the one that I remind my mom she pulled from the trees
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			A long time ago told him
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			he just did. They responded
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			last time with Ireland say that,
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:50
			between the staff on the ground until
		
00:05:51 --> 00:06:01
			there was nothing split second, Moosa was watching this stuff changing from that state, solid dead
object into living. We call this
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:27
			a lot of power without embrace his laws and his ways for us to see these miracles. So in situation,
we believe that you have a desperate situation, one of the lowest common ones, who created these
laws and these words, to help you change the way Allah subhanho wa Taala can do them. And this is
what we call as soon as you have the last panel
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			created, and many of these things in your control, and
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			the sun can always come from the from the east, and go to the west.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			Otherwise, this is not
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			good and evil will always exist because of
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:56
			oppression and justice. When it says, sin and virtue, what it says, belief and disbelief, what it
says is
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:03
			you have no control over that. But you have control to choose, even though
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:11
			you have the control to choose, and it can change even completely this can always existed.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:20
			But your ways of choosing to be under
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			control. And that's the change you need to ask
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			to help you do
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			your will to
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:38
			eradicate evil altogether, make everybody believers, this is because
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			he wanted to do that.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			He was testing the
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			assessment, finding
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			things you're not happy with. That doesn't mean
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			you made that choice. And you can still change it,
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			you can still
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			able to strengthen the arm to bring the change into light.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			We know that from these laws,
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:16
			these laws are less powerful Donna, they are here to establish justice.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:21
			Which means the chance to be good or bad as equal to everyone
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			in this person.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			That doesn't mean
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			that when
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			you get the choice, it gave you
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			a choice.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:45
			Because a lot one of them to do that forcefully, maybe their own choices.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:52
			you satisfied with your situation is not a lost power that I made you that way.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:03
			Allah wants me to improve the world. That's true. But you wouldn't need to take the steps towards
moving them. So the question is the last time he says in the
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:14
			last panel without us unless I was not committed justice, I guess. He doesn't have anyone,
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:26
			for people. And for some people, they commit an injustice against themselves. It is us who made
these choices, and we commit our justice against ourselves.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:35
			He says that what Allah has created us human beings, and
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:48
			he created the law of change. So he says, you may choose to be the person who's responsible for this
future meaning the choices that you make.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:50
			The most likely
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:56
			your most powerful person who has an ability to make a change
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			and you're the one who knows best for you.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:12
			More than anyone else. So we need change needs to be manageable what they do they learn others for
their mistakes and errors and their atrocities in their lives. And they said,
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:20
			If you yourself didn't make the right choice, they're not doing that change their lives, how expect
others to help you.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			So if you're
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:30
			the first person to open your eyes and see exactly opportunities, a loss of power
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:46
			for you. Now, why do people? Why do people change the conditions from good? We know why people, they
change their condition from bad to good, it's easy to understand that. But why do you think people
they change from good to bad how many people
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			into the opposite side?
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			Number one, is because of the
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			weakness of
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			this amount of liters of demand, will you
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:02
			then
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:11
			be allowed as well, and so on, instead of you taking charge of this at first?
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:31
			The best for you. So as a matter of being a subpoena, it's easier to blame external factors, and
throw the lid on someone else. Rather than just convincing yourself It's me, who needs to change
number two, since data submission,
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:33
			the
		
00:11:35 --> 00:12:00
			truth about this man who's in the desert, traveling, dusty is his hand, your your, my Lord, my Lord,
is asking Allah subhana wa Taala someone such a condition, Japanese stranger, maybe standing in the
highway, a lot of their condition, and he's raising his hand ask them what changes condition from
difficult to easy. And then the broker says
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:15
			this person's food, dirty clothes and attrition, all of them coming from home source, how would you
expect them
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			to change their condition.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			So the matter of citizen,
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27
			Allah,
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:32
			He will still send some blessings upon you. But Allah, if you are grateful,
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:39
			he will serve more in abundance. That was the promise of a lot to handle more than
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:49
			a lot of injustice prevents that good change happening in your life. Be aware of that. And don't
ever commit an injustice against anybody.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:57
			Lost
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:09
			event from this city. So these towns, when they create this, this this injustice, and injustice is
motion, number one.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			And then he says,
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:21
			when he takes them by themselves, they will be under justice will be actually painful is
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			also
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:31
			not doing our duty to enjoin good and forbid Evil has also been
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			very sloppy in the last panel that says
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			there were curves that people have
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			their own processors on people.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			So how long What does that tell you?
		
00:13:51 --> 00:14:03
			They got to the point where they're people that they curse, because those lists available. And why
is that? Because they don't enjoy good and evil? You see the evil one doing this? Or do
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:10
			you see the one was doing good? Because no one is helping
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			or expanding?
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			So we're not doing
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			something wrong. And
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			this shouldn't be
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			done for the process.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:32
			And
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:40
			is it possible that everybody will be destroyed when we have people amongst us? They said
absolutely. It
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			will either become becomes
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:53
			will you become dominant. And in this case, they all will be taken as a result of that. So it's not
going to be just equal one.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:59
			Because even though they're not doing enough to prevent that evil from spreading
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:00
			To place
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:03
			the
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:09
			division and the reason why people situation change from good to bad is that
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			you know,
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:35
			it's absolutely not to keep competing for the Lumia. And keep in balance between that and your
asset. Now, there is no doubt that you are responsible to improve your and work on have good
situation in this life. But But whatever you do in this world, it should be for the sake of us
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:37
			relationship
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			is not how to be successful.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:51
			And it's not wrong to be rich in this video. But what is wrong is with all these blessings, the
honesty of the people, and
		
00:15:53 --> 00:16:01
			so when people start doing that, they will the situation, in the last panel data will put the farmer
between the
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:04
			manager
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:19
			wherever makes his main concern about power shut that will make this a first. So this person doesn't
know where to get it from time to catch every penny possible from every opportunity, they're not
focused
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:31
			on how to make the poverty line between their eyes, they're always afraid of being fooled. And then
whatever they try to do.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:36
			I'm Ella, and they will be using Excel.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:45
			So when you do that, you change your condition to that which is actually worse, not just for you.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48
			Now,
		
00:16:49 --> 00:17:06
			seven ways you can bring positive change to your life. Number one, the first you need to care about
the check first to do reality check. This will be called an asset, which is up to the account. First
of all, make an assessment of your financial situation, check the situation.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:08
			Most important thing
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12
			is it's something you'd be proud to provide
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:20
			evidence of your goodness. Is that enough? Okay, do I know you can do
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			make a reality check on this issue. Check
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:43
			that just spend the time that you spend and remember the last dollar versus the time to improve the
time you spend with people versus the time you spend with the Lord of the people, the time that you
do whatever is done for this world versus the time that you should really do for the
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48
			improving relationship with Allah, Allah will your family
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:58
			without a loss of power. Without that first thing that you need to do here is to do a reality check
for yourself. Make assessment.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:08
			For most of you, you have business plan, and you have always business analysis and assessments. You
like this business?
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:12
			You're dealing with a lot of scope to job
		
00:18:13 --> 00:19:01
			business. It really, really requires you to make analysis and assessment. It was best to do this or
not number to check your intentions. To bring positive change. It starts from inside not from
outside. intrinsic factor needs to be the desire to bring changes there. You know, I've counseled
many brothers and sisters, helping them provide some sort of future coaching in their life. And one
of the biggest the biggest problems I have with these young men and women, when they plan for the
future is whatever endeavor or adventure they want to do. They always they always feel that exit
door open. Which means when they plan something, their attention, try
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			to try and
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:25
			snag that one. Because once you're telling me that you're still keeping an exit door behind you back
open. So I tried to do more. I said don't make failure an option. Many good intentions solid and
strong that you are really changed, that you are going to do the best.
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:33
			If you make your intention, kind of shaky, I'll try I'll do my best then most likely.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:38
			So remember, it starts from inside and that's what I was
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:43
			in a lie or you might have a
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:59
			condition until the job's done themselves. Use document site. A lot of choose from on site. Number
three, take action. It's not just don't stay with just
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			wishful thinking,
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:19
			and you always remember all of us hope that change will happen. And I have seen many people, many
people in waiting for change. And the wishing actually, for some dramatic change happen in their
life that was forced to become a good light, but
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:28
			they think they wish that they an accident happens to them, beloved person dies, that we have some
emotional crash, eventually, I would wake them up and shake them
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:33
			to someone
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			why
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:40
			you take the course of action, and the last
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			one.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:45
			And those
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			those were slightly
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			less Vietnam, Susanna
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:59
			so far is demanding that you start first you take the action,
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:04
			sitting there just dreaming about change, that's never gonna happen.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:09
			So take that course of action, when a man was coming into the
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:11
			gym, he said,
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:16
			was
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19
			way outside,
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			first, and then
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:28
			you tied up, tied down, and then put your personal monitor.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:53
			And that's all we ask for you. Take a course of action. If you know that you need to change, then
make this dream happen. And you don't have to do it Don't be so passive and change, you need to be
active and proactive. Number four, change your habits, one habit at a time, one habit at a time.
Most of us did. They change to America all together. And yesterday amongst
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:55
			their lives, they want
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			to do all these
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			other ones.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:12
			Laundry, when people come on comes, they really transform.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			The day after today, they're gone.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:18
			So
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			that's our dreams.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24
			We just want
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:27
			not 100 of the time.
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:30
			He said, he said
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			I will
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:42
			teach you how to do things. Because goodness is
