    Focus on the effort
    May 21 2025
    Auto-generated transcript:Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen. Wasalatu was-salamu ala al-sharafi al-anbiya wal-mursaleen. Muhammadur Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sallam. Tasliman kathiran kathiran. I want to deal with two questions that two different people asked me. One, a friend of mine from Hyderabad, he asked me, he said, we keep making effort, we don't succeed, we lose energy. How to deal with that? And the second one was, Umar Abd al-Ali asked me, he is in medical school. So he said, we have been given information that we will have a very important qualifying exam, which will be for eight hours, the exam, in May 2026, which is 12 months from now. And we know what all we have to study in that one year, and how it goes forward and so on. But he said, there are two things. One is that this thought of this exam 12 months from now is overpowering in the head. And secondly, the regular work of the college also is there. That's going on. So how to deal with this? Like, too much. The answer is very simple. And the answer is structure. Structure. Create a timetable for the day. And do not use an app for that. Do not use an app. There is a psychological advantage in writing with your hand. So take a normal, you take a normal notebook. Make two columns. In the left column, put time. In the right column, put the activity you have to do. And how much time is needed for that. So from the time you open your eyes in the morning to the time you go to bed in the night, that must be in the timetable. And then, second part, which is, follow that like a religion. Nothing must move you away from that timetable. No matter what happens in life. That timetable must be followed. Otherwise it's a waste of time. You write it down, you do nothing, makes no sense. So follow that very, very, very strictly. So that is why I remind myself and you, focus on your effort. Not on talent, not even on your long-term goals. Your daily effort. I'll give you another example. Take, many of you have the desire to become Hafez. Alhamdulillah. Very good. But tell me, what is the most important thing if you are doing HIFS? The number one, most, absolutely important thing. What is it? It is not the desire to make HIFS, it is not the quality of your Usta. The most important thing in making HIFS is your daily Daur. Right? I memorized one page today, tomorrow I repeat that, I revise that, day after tomorrow I memorize page two, third day I revise two pages, then I have third page, and I revise third page. This is the number one most important thing to do. If you do not do your repetition, you cannot become Hafez. Impossible. And that repetition will kill you. I mean that is so difficult. It's not easy. It's very, very difficult. And the beauty is, within quote beauty, the more you memorize, the more difficult it becomes. Because the portion you have to repeat is more. But there is no other way. That is the way. As long as you go on repeating, it trips through the mind. But if you don't repeat, and even if you miss one single day, whatever may be the reason, the reason makes no difference. My grandmother came by at my wedding to attend, my friend comes. Makes no difference. You missed today's Daur, believe me brother, you are in serious trouble. Because the next day, it gets doubled. You can't make it up. You will kill yourself. You will not be able to do it. Must be done on time at that time. So create a timetable. Focus on your effort. It's good to have a long-term goal, no doubt about that. Right? But focus on your step by step by step. Are you taking those steps? I used to go trekking. I remember one day I went with two other friends of mine. All of them young. I was the manager, they were my sisters. We climbed a mountain of what? I think it was 5,000, 5,500 feet. And the track was almost vertical. It was very, very steep track. And we started from sea level and we were going up 5,000 feet. So it is, it was extremely hot

  • Following Madhab

    Following Madhab
    May 20 2025
    Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the Prophets and Messengers, Muhammad and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and upon his family and his companions. Peace and blessings be upon him and upon his family and his companions. From Abadu, somebody asked me a question about following a religion. So, how many of you can name what are the four madhabs in the Ahlus Sunnah wa Jama'ah? No, I know you all are this group. Yes. I won't take your name because this goes worldwide, so they won't know who it is, but you can ask me first. What are the four madhabs? Maafi, Hanafi, Ambalee. I'm asking you, Vaan. I don't know what's wrong. Nafsi. Whatever I want. That madhab? No. Maliki. Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Ambalee. Right? Okay. So, what is your madhab? No. What is your madhab? Islam. Islam is not a madhab. Islam is a deen. Hanafi. Hanafi. What Hanafi madhab follows who? Imam Hanafi. Imam Hanafi. What is Imam Hanafi's name? Maafi. Imam Hanafi. Maafi. No, I'm not trying to insult anybody. I'm just trying to show you the problem with people who say, I follow, I am Hanafi. They do not even know the name of the Imam who they follow. They do not even know whether Hanafi is his name, whether it is a kunya, whether it is the name of his cat. We don't know. Right? But we are willing to fight to the death with somebody who is not Hanafi. Inna liillahi wa inna ilahi rajim. So please understand this. This is a very big musibat in this ummah. I am Hanafi. I am Shafi. Be Hanafi. No problem. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Right? Al turab min khadam al Imam Abu Hanifa ala raasi wa ala aini. The dust from his feet is on my head and on my eyes. No problem. Alhamdulillah. Follow. But at least learn something. So let me explain something to you. Please understand this. Number one. In al ahlu sunnah wal jama'ah, which is what we are Sunni Muslims, we follow, there are four madhahib, four schools of jurisprudence. These are not schools of thought. All kinds of nonsense is spoken in the neighborhood. It's not a school of thought. It's a school of jurisprudence. These are fuqaha. They are not philosophers. They are not phala. They are not falasifah. They are fuqaha. Right? Four schools of jurisprudence. We believe, all of us, that it is acceptable to follow any of these four ayimma al quwara. Number one. Number two. It is not okay to criticize somebody who is following another imam. And I will explain to you from the Quran and Sunnah why it is not possible and not permissible to criticize. It is not permissible to criticize somebody following another imam. So if you say you are Hanafi, most welcome. You find out the name of the imam first of all. But if you are Hanafi, most welcome. Be Hanafi. But if my brother here is Shafi, it is not permissible for you to criticize him for following Imam Shafi Rahmatullah Ali. And it is not permissible for you to criticize him for following Imam Abu Hanifa Rahmatullah Ali. And I will give you the dalail for this. When we say we follow an imam. Say for example, I will give you one of the most common things which we see every day. Which is how we pray. Right? So if you are Hanafi, how many times do you raise your hands? Once. Once. Right? When? Starting of Salah. Starting of Salah. What is it called? That particular motion? Learn, learn, learn, learn, learn. Learn. So first rule. If you follow some imam, follow him. Follow with knowledge. Don't just say blindly, I am Hanafi, I am Shafi. What is the name of the imam? I don't even know the name of the imam. What do you mean? Go and learn. Number two. It is not okay to criticize somebody else. I said an example, I will give you. In Salah. The Hanaf, people who follow Imam Abu Hanifa Rahmatullah Ali, they raise their hands once to the level of their ears. When they do that, what is called Takbir Tahrimah or Takbiratul H...

  • Marriage 3X3

    Marriage 3X3
    May 19 2025
    Auto-generated transcript:My brothers and sisters, I have been asked to give some advice about marriage. So here goes. I call this my marriage advice three by three. Marriage advice three by three. Three things that you do not want to do or you should not do and three things that you should do. So the first question to ask is, do you want to remain happily married? And if the answer is yes, then there are three things that you must not do. The first one, don't collect garbage. Have a selective memory. Remember only good and forget all bad. Because garbage always stinks and only you will smell it. So don't collect garbage. Now, remember, sometimes you will hear people saying, be very careful what you say to your spouse. One word can destroy years of relationship. My point is, a relationship, which is destroyed by one word, is a jail sentence. It is not a relationship. A marriage is a relationship which is bulletproof, which should be bulletproof. A marriage is like a ship. Ships are built to sail the high seas and to battle with storms from the outside. A ship is not meant to sit in the harbor in safety. It is meant to sail the high seas. The beauty of a marriage is the same thing as the beauty of any deep and real and genuine friendship. And that is the obviation, the lack of need for defenses. In a good marriage, there is no need for defenses. My point is, that if I have to watch every word that I say to my wife, every word that I say to my wife, every word that I say to my wife, every word that I say to my wife, or my husband, if I have to be careful about every single thing I say or do, then how is this a marriage? It can be, you know, a political relationship. It can be a diplomatic connection or whatever. How is it a marriage? How is it a close friendship? A close friendship is one in which there are no defenses. I don't need to defend. Because I know that this person will never deliberately harm me. Now, is that person, is it possible that this person may say or do something which appears to be hurting, even insulting? Is that possible? Of course, because they're human. They're human. But if you have this fundamental belief that it is never done deliberately, they're not trying to do that. They may have, their emotion of the time may have got over them or overcome them or overpowered them, or they may be, under some other outside stress or whatnot. That is the reason why they have said what they have said. It is not meant for me. Then believe me, nothing will happen to your relationship, except that it will make it stronger. So don't collect garbage. Don't collect bad stuff. Forget the bad stuff. Collect the good stuff. Remind yourself again and again about the good stuff. Anything bad that comes to you from, your spouse, forgive. Forgive. Number one. Number two, don't try to mold or change or sculpt your spouse. If you didn't like what you saw in the first place, why did you marry that person? If you liked what you saw, why do you want to change it? Your spouse is not a rock or a lump of clay or a patient in your hospital. They didn't marry you to be changed. So change yourself to like them. Remind yourself that you were not forced into that marriage. You went into it with your eyes open because you liked that person. And if you like that person, then like that person. Don't try to change them. Number three, not to do. Don't criticize. Nagging never works. If they wanted a nag, they would have married a horse. So forgive and seek forgiveness. Forgive and seek forgiveness. Nothing works like sorry. Nothing works like sorry. So, say sorry. And the other person, don't say, oh, you know, you always say this and you always say sorry and you always repeat. That is why we are human. Ask yourself, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said this in Surah An-Nur. Allah said, do you not want Allah to forgive you? So if you want Allah to forgive you, then forgive your spouse and thank them for giving you so much practice.
