Hey there, everybody.
As-salamu alaykum.
Hello, and welcome to Let's Grow with Yusuf
Reza.
Yes, this show is all about growth, and
that's all we're going to be covering, talking
about looking to achieve your personal growth, you
becoming the best version of yourself.
Two sets of obstacles that I've been able
to identify that impede growth, that stop us
from becoming that best version of ourselves.
The first has to do with negativity, and
the second has to do with false concepts.
The negativity can be internal or external.
The toxic environment that you're part of, the
spewing of discouraging comments that come from people
around you, or those negative emotions that come
from within that don't let you do what
you know you have to do.
And then those false concepts can also be
either external or internal.
The external ones, I call them cultural pathologies.
Ideas that have become popular, beliefs that people
have just internalized without there being any basis
to them, except that they impede growth.
And then internally, they take the form of
rationalizations or excuses and justifications that you and
I come up with when we don't do
what we know we should be doing.
Right?
So what are we going to do?
We're going to address that negativity by bringing
in as much positivity as we possibly can
in this show, bringing in the inspiration that
is necessary to inspire the positivity to come
from within you.
And then the false concepts, we're going to
foremost identify them for what they are, talk
about what's wrong with them and why they're
wrong, and then replace them with the true
concepts that are necessary for our growth, which
are going to be scientifically informed, philosophically grounded,
and scripturally guided.
And my background in psychiatry, psychology, and logotherapy,
plus my teaching of the Quran at a
public level, places me uniquely to be able
to address it from all of these multiple
dimensions.
I hope you're able to benefit from this
show, which looks to not only contribute to
individual growth, but how that individual growth will
then lead to the development of a true
community.
And this is our share, our part that
we're playing towards that end.
There's five features that I've come up with
as to how I can do that using
this show.
First of them is Q&A.
You ask me the questions, I give you
the answers as best as I possibly can.
Number two, inspirations from around the world.
People who've been there, done that, we bring
them in, we talk to them and learn
the lessons that their experiences have to offer
us.
Number three, meet the expert.
People who really excelled in their field become
specialized in any area of expertise.
We talk to them as to what their
field, what their understanding has to offer us
as educated laypeople to contribute to our growth.
Number four, message from the East.
This particularly focuses on the poetry of one
person, Allama Muhammad Iqbal, the South Asian poet
and philosopher, one of the founding fathers of
Pakistan, as to how his poetry is capable
of galvanizing individuals no matter where we may
be.
So we're going to be focusing on that.
The fifth and final feature is going to
be Qur'an daily.
Yes, this is going to be us talking
about lessons from the Qur'an from cover
to cover, from the beginning to end, that
can help us develop to the better people
that we need to become.
Yes, this final feature is primarily focused towards
a Muslim audience, but it should serve to
be educational for a non-Muslim audience as
well.
Right, so that's what we have to offer.
I look forward to developing these themes with
you, these features with you.
I require your feedback, I require your participation,
your liking, sharing as much as possible, and
that will help me develop this further and
further.
Thank you very much for watching.
I will see you in all of the
other features with all of these ideas that
we've developed.
Thank you very much once again.
Bye-bye!
