Yasmin Mogahed – The Importance Of Spiritual Resilience

			I was going to share.
		

			Rahim Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah while he was talking pH main strategy suddenly were Siddeley
Omri wha Hello, Dr. Millis any of Govan Kona, Mia was pannacotta bless your event, bless your
community, I am going to be talking about a topic which I was very pleased to get as my topic,
because I think it's extremely important. And it's something that I personally feel very, very
strongly about. And that is the topic of resilience. Now, when we talk about resilience, I'm going
to give you some Arabic terms, some color and concepts that have to do with resilience. And I'm
going to begin with a concept called salt. Because when we I think to begin with, we have a very,
		

			very major misunderstanding of what salt really means. And so to begin with, I want to sort of
discuss the meaning of sub, and, and, and, and sort of take care of these misconceptions in order
for us to continue and talk about what resilience really is. So one of the misconceptions when it
comes to self is that if I were to ask you this question, What does self love mean? Many people,
everyone mostly will respond was saying patience suffer is patience. Okay, that's beautiful
suffering among the meanings of subs. Patience, yes. But what does that mean? And a lot of times
people understand sovereign as being passive, that sub means just don't do anything, just stand
		

			there. Just take it that kind of thing. For example, this idea of turn the other cheek, this concept
of turn the other cheek, first of all, doesn't come from Islam. But this concept of turn the other
cheek, we have come to understand software as turn the other cheek. What does it mean? Essentially,
this this phrase comes from, if you were to come and hit me on this cheek, I wouldn't do anything.
In fact, I would turn my cheek so you can hit me on the other cheek, that is a concept coming from
other religious traditions, which is not our tradition, that we have taken and called itself, which
is that if I am being abused, if I am being persecuted, if I am being oppressed, that sobre means do
		

			nothing, right? Take it, swallow it and do nothing about it. For you know, this, this idea of have
solar system, right have silver. And this is not the meaning of self, because in fact, when Allah
subhanaw taala talks about so when the prophets I said, It teaches us about sub part of Southern
scholars, in fact, define the sub and categorize and classify sub into three parts. And one of the
parts of sub is in taking action. For example, we're told that sub that this concept of sub involves
being able to restrain ourselves from the house, so there's a, there's a part of sub two, which is
restraint. But there's another part of sub, which is being able to persevere with the commandments,
		

			that's also part of self. And in order for me to persevere with the commandments, I have to have
soap, that's an action. That's for me every single morning for you to wake up before fetch, right
and to take your surfboard, and then to, you know, make will go and pray. This requires self that
this is a muscle that is required, and involves action. And so I want us to change our concept of
what sub means that somebody isn't doing nothing, that somebody is not just being passive, rolling
over and playing dead, that kind of thing. What so but it actually involves action, and it is
perseverance. And when I take action, I require self. Now, it's also important to note that the
		

			prophets I send them told us that if we are oppressed, that if we see oppression, that in fact, we
are supposed to take action against it, the prophets peace be upon him so that I sell. And then the
reason I want to say this is because so much of our religious rhetoric is teaching and this is why
I'm emphasizing as so much of it teaches us that righteousness is to swallow oppression, right? That
if you swallow, and you turn the other cheek, and you do nothing about oppression, whether it's
within your home, or whether it's happening to those around you or it's happening overseas, that's a
swallow and do nothing about oppression. We were taught that this is righteousness, that this is
		

			what makes you a patient person. But in fact, the prophets I send him gave us a different
prescription. He said that if you see something wrong, you should try to change it. He doesn't say
to turn the other cheek, he says that you should take action to change it. He said you should try to
change it with your tongue. And if you cannot, then change it with your hand that that first tried
to change it by doing action or speaking out against it. And if you cannot then at least hate it in
your heart, and this is the weakest of a man. He also said help your brother if he is an oppressor
or he is oppressed. And the companion said, well we know how to help him if he's oppressed but how
		

			Do we help our brother he's the oppressor. And he said by stopping him from oppressing part of our
amen is taking action against oppression. So Sabra to begin with, I want to just kind of clarify the
meaning of sub. There's an A and the poor and in the end of sort of lm wrong the very last day it's
a 200 of suited lm Ron. And in this era, Allah subhanaw taala is giving us like, sort of like
ingredient list for success. Okay, it's a list of what is necessary to be successful. Is there
anyone in this room who actually wants to be unsuccessful? No one, right. In fact, if I had a
roomful of every religious group in the world, one thing we would all have in common is everyone
		

			wants to be successful, right? Everyone wants success, but success is defined differently to
different people. Okay? So Allah subhanaw taala in this area gives us how to be successful he gives
us an ingredient list. And this ingredient list involves four things four ingredients. Okay,
everyone ready? It's always fun to speak to people while they're like totally blood sugar low and
when
		

			it's like, it's like, I don't know what's better. It's like speaking before it's gone when
everyone's like, really, really like low blood sugar or right after when everyone's like food coma.
Both are kind of I got before I'm done. So the four ingredients for success. Last panna cotta says
ya know, Indiana Avenue, hospital, wasabi, what are the two worked up? Oh, La, La La come to fly
from. So la has told us now four ingredients for success. What are those ingredients, you'll notice
there's four. And actually three out of the four involve some form of patience, some form of
perseverance, some form of sub sub, or in some capacity, okay, three out of the four. So 75%. In
		

			order for us to be successful in this journey through life, we have to be a people of resilience, we
have to be a people who can withstand the first is ospital. Right? Have patience, have perseverance,
have sovereign, you already spoke about what is self sovereign, it incorporates and encapsulates
patience, perseverance, constancy, all of these things in one, but then the next commandment is
we'll solve it'll ospital will solve it. So it sounds similar, but they're a little bit different.
The second word involves a different form of the same route. And it's, it's actually a more
intensified version of patience or self. And it's when you're not only just having patience, but
		

			you're you're you're competing in this in this perseverance, you're competing against an opposing,
like something that's that's as against, you know, like resilience, you have to have something
pulling you in the other direction for it to be resilient. How many people have ever worked out? No
one, no one does those things. When you work out, when you go to the gym, and you want to build
muscle, right? The way that you're going to build muscle is to do resilience training. In fact, the
more that you have something pulling against you. And the more that you'll you're pulling, right,
the more you're going to build. So the more the more opposing force there is, the stronger you
		

			become when you pull. That's resilience. That's and that rather sorry, resistance training. Yeah.
And so what happens is here, it's an it's another, like intensified version of sub well solvable,
and then we'll all be to Robbie to just to like, be ready. So for example, in battle, you'd have two
two armies that are going to be fighting, there's a point right before their attack, right where the
you have to be stationed. And you have to stand firm, because that's the point when people want to
run, you know, I'm saying is like, just that point, just that point right before the battle. That's
when you're like, I'm out of here. And it requires a lot of strength and resilience, and
		

			perseverance and also been right in this this, this intense or revolve This is called what all we do
is to stand firm and to be ready. Now obviously, it's not only talking about battle, but in life
that we have to have this ability to be firm. And then the fourth part of the ingredient is taqwa
what Tahoma these are the ingredients Allah gives us for patients to have to have rather success.
Now, the question becomes this, how can we have perseverance? How can we be resilient, especially in
the type of political climate, we're dealing with the type of you know that the issues that we have
both politically socially financially, we are dealing with storms, we are in a we are in a situation
		

			right now as an oma collectively, where we are dealing with storms, people have their individual
storms, we have our collective family storms, we have our community storms, we have this global
storm that we're dealing with from many different directions. And among them is the stem phobia that
we're dealing with. Yeah, that the fact that we have become a targeted company.
		

			Unity and in fact a community where it's not just accepted to be semi phobic. It'll it's actually
like a currency. It'll win you elections. You know what I'm saying? The more is semi phobic you can
be now you can win elections being a semi phobic that that by attacking us as a community, it's
going to in fact when you votes, that's the situation we're in right now. It's very serious. Yeah.
And people have, you know, their individual struggles, we are dealing with storms. So the question
becomes, how can we be resilient in a storm? Let me ask you this question. In fact, I'm going to
answer this question by telling you a story. Okay. It's a story. You guys don't? How many people
		

			have ever heard the story of the three little pigs?
		

			Like two people, where was your childhood?
		

			Okay, a lot of people never had a childhood, but I'm going to bring back your shot. I'm going to
make up for the three little pigs. Okay. So there's three little pigs, as you would imagine.
		

			One of them is very, very lazy. Okay. Um, maybe he's been fasting, although he wasn't fasting, but
he's very lazy. Okay, so what does he do? He built his home out of something very easy and quick.
He's like, he like uses like straw or something. Yeah. And so his home is very weak. But that's
because he doesn't have doesn't put in the work to build a strong house. And then you have the
second pig who's like, somewhat lazy. And so this pig makes his house a little bit stronger, but
still not very strong, out of like tweaks. And then you have the third pick. And this third pick, I
should really change this for Muslims. I call it something else because we're really offended by
		

			pigs, but it's okay. You get the idea. Then the third pig is is not lazy. And the third pig actually
puts in the work to build a solid foundation made of brick. Okay, everyone follow me? So then what
happens is, who comes around guys? The Big Bad Wolf comes around. Okay. And he Huff's and he puffs,
and he blows the first house down? Why does he blow the first house down? Because it was never
strong, it was weak. Now, why would the story? The reason I'm telling you the story is that in life,
there's a lot of big bad wolves that come our way. Okay. homeland, the US. He's got a toupee type
looking thing.
		

			And I mean, in America,
		

			we have we have Yes, we have a lot of different forms of the Big Bad Wolf. And for those of you who
don't know, one time I was referring to Trump. But the idea is that we have financial big battles,
we have financial problems, we have health problems. We have, we have community problems have mental
health problems. We have all these different struggles that come our way. political problems, we
have Pete things happening all over the world that we're getting blamed for. These are things that
are going to come our way, this is the big bad wolf, huffing and puffing. All right. But what
happens with the second house, the second house is a little stronger. But still, it's not strong
		

			enough to be able to withstand the huffing and puffing of the Big Bad Wolf. These are trials that
come our way. These are the wind and the storms. But look at the third house, the third house was
built strong. The third house had a solid foundation. And so when the big see the big the same
circumstances coming to all three houses I understanding is you're hungry. Yeah. The same
circumstance are coming to all three houses, but one is getting destroyed by it. One is getting
destroyed by it. But the other is not. The third house is not getting destroyed by it. That is
resilience. That is the ability to withstand the storm and not be destroyed. Now, how do we do that?
		

			How can I do that? As a human being as a believer, how can I be a person of resilience? And the
answer is I have to build a strong foundation. I have to build a strong house. Basically, I have to
have a strong shelter around me. So that when storms come my way because storms will always come. If
anyone came to you and said you know what, it'll never rain. You know, storms will just never
happened, then they're lying to you. Because that's part of life. Life is that there's weather,
there's storms, there's rain, there's wind, we can't control these things, right? No matter how much
power you have, no matter how much you know, political or wealth, you can't control the rain. Can
		

			you control control the rain? Can you say you know what, I'd really, you know, tweet about it. You
know, it really shouldn't have rained at this time. I decided it's going to stop raining at Tuesday.
He can't he can't you can't control the rain. But what can we do? We can control where we are when
it rains. We can we can choose to go within the shelter. We can wear a rain jacket, we can have an
umbrella that's following. So what happens is that spiritually, we have to build these shelters. We
have to build these spiritual
		

			shelters, whereas we can withstand the storms. And we can be a people of resilience. But that will
never happen unless we are inside of shelter. Make sense? Fair enough. Does that. Does that make
sense? So now I'm going to tell you how to build those bricks, I'm going to tell you how it is that
we can build that home. And the answer is this, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to give you a three
part prescription, a three part sort of blueprint of how to build that home. And you're going to be
like, what, but just just just stay with me. Okay. Number one is the salon. See, here's the thing.
We everyone in this room probably learned about salaah when you were like three years old, you know,
		

			I'm saying you learned how to pray maybe when you started praying when you were a kid. But it's one
of those things that we just take for granted. We take for granted, number one, how important it is.
And number two, how powerful it is. It's a bit like oxygen. You see, every one of us in this room?
And how many labs is breathing, right?
		

			Not sure.
		

			Yes, right.
		

			I get them right before everyone in this room is breathing. But we're taking it for granted, right?
We're, obviously we need oxygen, but no one really thinks about it until it's taken away. And when
it's taken away, you start to see the effect, right? If you do if you go without oxygen, even for a
few seconds, you'll feel the effect, right? It's the same with Solo Solo is one of these things that
we've taken for granted. But without solo, it's like a person who has been who has been deprived of
oxygen. So law is the oxygen of our soul, the oxygen of our heart, and a person cannot be healthy,
and cannot even stay alive spiritually without the salaah. And it's as simple as that.
		

			The other thing about sola is it's prescribed, you know, when a doctor gives you a prescription, and
there's a certain timing for the prescription. Yeah. So the doctor says, here's a prescription. You
know, ma'am, Sir, you are you you need this to stay alive. In fact, this is so serious that this
medicine is going to keep you alive. And here's what you have to do, you have to take the first dose
in the morning, before sunrise, and then you have to take the next goes around noon. And then the
next one around, you know, four o'clock, and the next one around seven, and so on. And you have to
take five doses, but they need to be taken at a certain time or a certain time interval, right? How
		

			many people are going to take that prescription, and number one, just throw it in their drawer and
not even care? Or how many people are going to take the medicine and say you know what, I'll take it
once in a while. But when I'm busy, I'll just skip two or three doses, or my favorite, um, you know,
I'm really busy today. So I'll take all five doses before I sleep.
		

			Right? No one's gonna do that. That's called overdosing. Yeah. And, and and it's actually not going
to work that way. When a medicine is taken has to be taken properly as prescribed by the doctor.
Fair enough. So this is the thing a law has prescribed this medicine for us. And it isn't just
medicine, it's actually oxygen. And when a person is deprived of oxygen, it affects them
spiritually, just as a body is affected by the deprivation of oxygen. And it's nothing short of
that. And I want to emphasize that in every single audience that I speak to, because I feel like
we've lost the basics. And when I say we've lost the basics, I don't mean basics, because they're
		

			unimportant. I mean essentials, we've lost the essentials, you know, when a person is like a person
goes to a doctor and says, yo, Doctor, I'm having all these issues. And you know, the person helped
me with this, prescribe this. And the first question is, are you getting enough oxygen? You know
what I'm saying? * no. And why don't do that. And why don't breathe? That's not something I do.
It sounds silly, because the person would be dead, right? But this is our problem. We have all these
issues. We have all these issues, and we're going to find solutions in all these different places.
But we're not even breathing. You understand? How can we possibly solve our problems if we're not
		

			even breathing? We don't even have the essentials to keep us alive. One other thing I want to say
about Scylla is when Ramadan comes around, we start to see sort of the way we were we're supposed to
be the rest of the year, but we're only we only really see it in Ramadan. I'll give you an example
of missing fetchit Okay, missing fetcher is one of these things is very serious. Okay. But in
Ramadan missing fetchit it's very serious. Can anyone tell me why?
		

			Exactly. Thank you sister means you Mr. Horse. Okay. Or Sadie, what are you afraid to call? You have
missed the meal that
		

			chance to eat, because now you have to fast. And so if you miss fetch it in normal dawn, you wake
up, and you're in a panic, like, right cold sweat, you're in tears, you're like pulling your hair.
Because the reality is you have to fast another, like 1314 hours and you didn't need, That's
intense. So you're very upset, okay, for a month, if you miss fidget, everyone following, but then
there's these other 11 months, the rest of the year, where if we miss fidget, we don't even notice
maybe, you know, I mean, it's just like, Oh, you don't mean. And the reality is that, that's because
we're very focused on the needs of our body. Our stomach needs food, you know, and we're very
		

			focused on those needs. But we neglect the needs of our heart and our soul, that the salaah itself
is the food and the oxygen for the soul. But neglecting it is something that we take lightly. So
it's interesting to look at how in Ramadan, another thing that you'll notice, another thing that
you'll notice, is the way the Salah should be in our lives. Yeah, the way we kind of organize our
lives, even those who pray is like, we have certain activities, like say, we have our day planned
out, okay, and we'll have certain activities planned. So say I have a meeting at noon. And then I
have you know, this, I have to pick up my kids at at two and I have, so we have certain things that
		

			throughout our day, and then what do we do, even if we do pray, we fit the salon in between these
other sort of activities and appointments. So in a sense, we take our lives and our activities
within the lives and make them the pillars. Yeah, and then select fits if and when in between the
pillars you follow. But it's actually supposed to be the other way around. Right? It's supposed to
be that the salon times are the pillars. So you have featured and then you have God and then you
have Oscar and then you have muscle group, and you have Asia, and then you fit your life in between
those pillars. That's how our life that's how you actually build a solid. See, right now we have
		

			pillars here, this building would not be would not be solid without the pillars, you take the
pillars down, it loses its its strength, this the pillars of our lives for our lives to be solid, it
needs to be the salon. And this sounds conceptual. But in fact, we live this in certain occasions,
and one of them is in Ramadan. I'll tell you nothing is planned at that time at all of them. Except
for food. You know, I'm saying like, you basically say, Look, I'll do it before. I'll do it after
methadone. But methadone is a pillar right? in Ramadan. methadone is a pillar, what else is a pillar
in Ramadan? fetchit. You guys have seen what I'm saying? Why? Because it revolves around food. Okay,
		

			but we see a glimpse of what it's like, of what it actually should be that our lives have the
pillars of Salah, and then we fit our lives around those pillars. We see that in Ramadan. And
there's another place we see that and that's in Mecca, Medina, not only going to Mecca, Medina, and
you want to meet up with your family, or you meet up with some friends, how do you say when you're
going to meet? What's the lingo? What's the language that you use? You don't even talk about time,
what do you say, after us, after the hood before monkhood if you get it, that the entire way you
look at your day revolves around those five pillars. That is actually how you live when you're in
		

			that area when you're in that place. And that's how we should make our lives is that our lives
should actually revolve around the pillars of Silla, not the other way around. So a lot doesn't
revolve around our lives. Yeah. And this, the reason I'm emphasizing this so much is that if we want
that stability, and that that resilience in our lives, we have to build the solid foundation and the
solid structure, and it can be solid without pillars. Okay? Is everyone getting what I'm saying?
Okay, so number one was the salon. Number two is something called the car. And you guys have heard
this term before the car basically mean of cod mean remembrances, the remembrance of Allah
		

			Subhanallah, that when I say of God, in this context, I'm referring to the profit synonyms habit,
that throughout his day, he used to say certain supplications In fact, the Prophet says that if you
study his life, and you look at the supplications, that he would say, he had a dog for everything,
every motion of life, there was a drive that he would say, you know, I'm saying like, you leave the
house, there's a door, you come back in the house, there's a drop, you start eating, there's a drop,
finish eating there's a drive, entering the bathroom, leaving the bathroom, you know, driving new
clothes, when you're afraid when you're when you're, you know,
		

			you know, scared or sad, even before intimacy, there's a derive the prophets I send them taught us
to, actually through his example, that he was no matter what he was.
		

			Doing he was remembering Allah, his heart was remembering a lot, even while his body was involved in
dunya. You see the depth of that, that's the only real way to be healthy and strong, is that you are
remembering Allah subhanaw taala throughout your day, you don't only remember him at drama, don't
only remember him in Ramadan, you don't only remember him even just during the five prayers, but
throughout your day, you start to get in the habit of incorporating these of God. You know what
that's like? So if we go back to the example of going to a doctor, you want to get healthy, right?
You want to run a marathon, right? I told you, and I think you agree, we have a lot, we have a lot
		

			of trials, we have, you know, the wind sometimes gets really, really strong. And for us to be able
to withstand that we have to train, we have to build, we can't just go out there, you know, it's
like, go up to a tornado and say, Okay, I got this, you know, I'm saying you can't that's then
you're gonna get destroyed. But you have to be someone who who has that training in that building.
Okay. And in order to do that, these have got to build that every time. You get up in the morning,
and I'm going to just tell you this within the off God, I'll give you an easy way to do it. Yeah. So
there's an app that you can download on your phone, called my da MYD. You. So it's double AF en
		

			mydrive. Don't get a cut. My God. Okay. And when you download this app, it's basically the fortress
of a Muslim. Yeah, fortress of a Muslim meaning. It's that collection of the God of the prophets I
seller that he would say throughout his day, it's from the Quran and the Sunnah, so it's authentic.
And when you download this app, essentially, no, don't do it. Now. Essentially, you now have
something where in the morning, you click on morning, supplications, and read through those
supplications. Now, there's a few among these doors that I would say, sort of, you can't really live
without, you have to really incorporate these. And then beyond that, the more you can, the better.
		

			Okay, those three are the morning ones where you wake up after fetchit you open up your app and you
read through the morning supplication, you just click on morning supplication. And then after us,
you click on evening supplications. And then before you sleep, you click on the ones for sleep.
Everyone with me, these three, you're going to be opening up your app for now, within the day,
there's going to be smaller ones, which you can just memorize, okay, because there's, they're,
they're shorter ones. And that is when you come into the house. Remember, Allah say Bismillah before
you eat when you leave the house when you enter the bathroom. Yeah. And before intimacy, that these
		

			doors, these doors, what they do now what I've just given you, I'm gonna tell you, I've just given
you something very powerful. I'll tell you what I've done. See this room right now? How many doors
are there? There's a lot. Yeah, there's probably like about six total doors. Now if I am trying to
keep seniors like a robber, say and I don't want this robber to come into my home. Yeah. Obviously
my home I have a door, a couple doors. Maybe I have windows, right? Does anyone want the robber to
enter their home? Okay, no matter how low your blood sugar is, you know, you don't want to let an
armed robber come in your home. Right. So what what do you do when you go to sleep at night? Yes.
		

			Does anyone leave their front door wide open and then leave their window wide open, and then wake up
in the morning? Everything's broken, everything stolen and wonder why the robber came in? Like whose
fault is that? Anyone? Yours? Yeah. Why? Because you left all the doors and windows open. You didn't
guard your doors. You didn't close them even? No, no, that's not how we are. When it comes to our
home. Not only do we close the doors, we lock them. We put a fence, we'll put a security system you
feel me, when you really have something you're trying to protect. You will put layers upon layers
upon layers of protection around that which you're trying to protect. Right. When you have a fancy
		

			car. Yeah, you get a security as you're protecting that which you love. Now, here's the thing.
		

			The shaitan is always looking for a door. The shaitan is always looking for a door to come in and
destroy us, destroy our lives, destroy our mental peace, destroy our relationships. One of the
things I find very interesting is how many lectures have we heard about marriage? Probably like,
like 55 Yeah, already in our lifetime.
		

			And in every single lecture about marriage, I feel like 100 now there's so much good advice that's
given so much, you know, great, even if they talk about research to talk about advice, the Prophet
did this lesson. But there's this like, really, really important thing which I feel like isn't
mentioned. And that is how to protect the relationship from Shabbat because, in fact, it's tripod.
One of his number one goals is to destroy
		

			Relationships is to come between husband and wife is to come between families is the common between
friends. This is something that he has published like he's an advertised, right that this is his
goal hit a gentleman in his army. And one of the best just like that home you're trying to protect.
When I told you guys about the morning and the evening and the sleep, and these of God, that you're
that you're getting from this app, right? That's like closing the doors to your home. It's closing
the windows, it's locking them, it's putting a security system. And what that does is it protects
the sanctity of your home, your relationships, and your also your inner peace, your inner, your
		

			inner like, you know, just just to have internal peace. And that's what's so amazing about doing
these things God and incorporating them in your life is that you start to see that transformation,
not just within yourself, but also in your relationships. So that was number two, we have one more.
Yeah. And the third one is the footer. And this is something that we're seeing in Ramadan, we are we
are increasing in our in our end, whether it's reading, personally listening and Fotolia, et cetera.
And one thing that you'll find is that your emotional, psychological and spiritual state in Ramadan
is very different than outside of Ramadan. Yeah, fair enough. Yes, or no? Do you guys notice a
		

			difference? It's a person who is who is oxygenated, is eating healthy, is exercising, you know, it's
only eating organic, you know, I'm saying how healthy is that person going to be, the person is
going to start to actually be healthy. And that's what happens to us spiritually in Ramadan. And the
reason for that is because we're doing these things, we are making sure that our body, our our,
sorry, our soul, our heart and our soul is being taken care of. And that's the way that we build the
shelter. Now, if we incorporate this in our lives, now, when the big bad wolf comes, you're gonna
have different trials in life. And when it comes, you will be in that solid foundation, where you
		

			don't get destroyed, like the first pick, yeah, you don't you're you know, that trials come along,
and they will always come and go. But these trials no longer destroy you. They no longer make you
incapable of going on in life, but you have that ability to be resilient. And that's the only way
that you're going to find resilience, you won't find it anywhere else. Now, in order, I'm just
gonna, I'm just going to sort of end on this on this note, in order to be able to be resilient, we
have to have a few things, and one of them is we have to have hope. We have to have the ability to
see through and realize that everything is a process in life. things do not happen overnight. You
		

			know, when a person when when when a child grows in the womb of the mother, it doesn't happen in one
month, it doesn't happen into that there is a process, and no matter what you do, no matter you
know, all the medicine, all the science in the world, it can't speed it up, you know, I'm saying a
law has designed the process for all things. And so when in our lives, we don't see results.
Oftentimes, we lose hope. You know, it's like I did it. I've done this, I've done that I've done
that I'm not seeing the result. It's not you know, we oftentimes I hear people saying things like,
we feel this, I've made I've been making, my life isn't being answered, how often do we feel this?
		

			You know, we're asking a lot asking a lot. We're not seeing what we what we want or what we need.
What we have to realize is that everything takes a process and a lot always here's your dog, and a
lot is answering your dog, but there's a process that has to that has to go through that you have to
go through in order to suck to get that that that end result that you're asking for. And finally,
let me end with
		

			with an era in which Allah subhanho data conference, the believers, he he prepares the believers and
he also conference the believers and hasip team and that whole agenda. Well, I'm a typical
methodology in a Holloman Comic Con. Do you believe Do you think that you will enter Paradise
