			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu Welcome back to the channel.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:19
			Where are your priorities, I wanted to give a small short reminder since we have entered into this
space of mgL. And we got a lot of the youth coming to us and joining our Discord. And
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:58
			we want to make sure that we understand what priorities mean have discussed this in in the stream
reminders as well as on our server. For those of you not in discord with us. The link is right here
below in the description. Talking about priorities, we as Muslims need to make sure that we put our
priorities in check. These things that we're doing here like gaming and car talk and tech talk and
all these other things that will be on the channel these are hobbies, these are hobbies, and hobbies
are on the bottom tier of the list when it comes to our priorities and we do them in our free time
free time. The priorities need to be in a proper descending order in order for our lives to have
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:21
			blessing and in order for us to be rewarded. And the highest tier of that the very top, the pinnacle
of our responsibilities have to be to Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah and His Messenger have to be the
obedience to Allah generar under the servitude to Allah, the worship to Allah into obedience to His
Messenger and everything falls after that your parents next your family next yourself in that order,
your your family,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:59
			your friends, schooling, job, work, and then hobbies come at the very bottom when you have your free
time. You have to make sure brothers and sisters that we put things in those proper orders. The
first and primary responsibility of every single believer is to Allah, Allah Allah and His messenger
that comes at the top Allah Subhana Allah mahalo Georgina Wellington, so Lily Abu and I didn't
create mankind engine but to worship me That is our top priority is to put a lot of panel data
First, it doesn't matter what else is going on. That comes above all other priorities that comes
about friend that comes from a family that comes from a parent schooling work, everything is the
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:32
			responsibilities, the rights that we have to give to Allah General Allen and there's something very
beautiful the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salaam said that if we give Allah subhana wa Taala his right
if we give Allah his right to worship Him, then Allah Subhana Allah will have we will have a right
over Allah that He does not punish us that we will have a right over Allah Subhana Allah does not
punish us if we fulfill his right to worship him and give him his proper place in our lives.
subhanho wa Taala Luigi laddie well, Quran. So we have to make sure brothers, the sisters that we
are putting that first I don't care what else you're doing. I don't care if you're in the middle of
		
00:02:32 --> 00:03:09
			a term paper, I don't care if you're talking to friends, I don't care your family's there. I don't
care if you're in the middle of a football match. And it's a close game and you're about to win I
don't I don't care what else is going on. If it becomes time, for instance, to pray solo, and that
time is about to expire. And you need to pray Stop it, drop it, leave it whatever else it is put
Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, his priority in check, give him his right. And then you can carry on
with whatever else it is that you were doing. That priority has to be in its place or you will find
problems you will find problems. That is our honor. When I'm going live with her Barbara, the Allahu
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:46
			and went to Jerusalem, to take the keys of Jerusalem and turn it over to the believers again. He was
walking because it was his time to walk and pull the animal that his servant was writing because
they were taking turns on turns on the long journey. When I made it even genre the Allahu and saw
him come in like this. He approached him and he said, These people are used to pomp and
circumstance, you should present yourself a little bit better to them, so that they can see some
respect in you. He actually hit everybody that was around on the chest. And he said if it were not
for you, or beta if you were not who you were, I would have been much harsher with you. Let me tell
		
00:03:46 --> 00:04:25
			you something. Allah subhanho wa Taala honored us favored us with Islam. If we seek that honor in
favor and anything else Allah will humiliate us will humiliate us, we have to put those priorities
in check brothers and sisters hobbies are in our free time. If you find that they are consuming you
and overtaking responsibilities, leave them drop them, let them go, you would rather put that down
to pick up your honor and Islam. Then to put the honor of Islam down to pick up these silly hobbies,
they are hobbies, they are something that we're doing and hamdulillah we're trying to reach out to
the youth and that is one of the reasons why I'm doing this. I've been involved at hamdulillah in
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:46
			the Dow for over 12 years and always are looking for opportunity to reach our youth better and I
found a way through this mgL and we're using this the best of our ability but we're also going to
use it to try to remind our youth our brothers and sisters to where to put their priorities. I want
to tell you a very small short story because I want to be able to keep these videos quite short when
I try to keep in 10 and 15 minutes or under inshallah
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:56
			This is a story I've said many times in my travels. And when I thought of this and it hit me the
weight of this hit me spinal light changed how I perceive things.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			If you are a Muslim
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:38
			You are chosen by Allah, favored by Allah, on and by Allah with faith with Amen. That is something
that cannot be repaid that is a that is a gift and a wealth you cannot imagine, I want you to think
about something really quick as we in this for the rest of the day, just try to think about this.
The very first thing that Allah subhanho wa Taala created was the pin. And then he told that pin
octobe right. And that pin asked my Lord, what should I write? Allah Subhana Allah said right,
everything that would ever happen at any time at any place throughout existence. And so the pin
wrote at all. And that book is with Allah subhanho wa Taala. And that book is the book The total was
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:49
			revealed from the NGO the Quran every year when the other comes down in the month of Ramadan. It
comes from this, this this massive book that Allah subhanho wa Taala had written about all
existence, want you to think about something.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:06:30
			Somewhere in that book, somewhere in that book, Allah subhanho wa Taala told that pen to write your
name, to write your name. And then in writing the story of your life. Allah jello earlier told that
pin to write that you would be guided, that you would be a Muslim, that you would be favored, that
you would be honored that you would be chosen to be a part of this nation. SubhanAllah I have no
idea how we can we repay our Lord for that favor. Somewhere in my story. Allah jello either wrote in
1998. In that year on that month, on this day, at this moment, I am going to open his heart, I am
going to open his breast and guide him to my way, guide him to my path guide him to the truth. Even
		
00:06:30 --> 00:07:06
			if Allah gave you a million lifetimes you could not repay that debt of guidance of the favor that
Allah chose to give you in guiding you to Islam. This is why we place a loss of Hanna with Allah is
the priority first. This is why I traveled for 12 years, giving the Dow and trying to help other
people understand the message of Islam and trying to help bring our youth and others closer to the
practicing of the religion and giving a law subpoena with Allah his rights because we owe it to him
in the smallest way that we can to give Allah subhana wa Taala his right to place him in the
pinnacle of importance in our life. And then everything else in a descending fashion to make our
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:44
			life have Baraka have blessing. So make sure brothers and sisters, you are putting your priorities
First, make sure they're in check. Make sure that nothing else extends above those priorities even
if you have to write them down. Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, his worship in his obedience, His
Messenger, his obedience, my parents, the love for them that in obedience to them, my family the way
I must take care of them myself, the rights that are owed to myself and then schoolwork, friends,
work hobbies in that descending order. If something comes out of place, take a moment reflect check
yourself and fix it. Make sure these things don't overtake anything else. Make sure they don't
		
00:07:44 --> 00:08:15
			become addictions make sure that the priorities are in check insha Allah who to Anna and that is
