houses whatever it may be and personally myself coming back from that jahiliya days this is what i
00:01:22.480
used to search for and i thought this was happiness and i did chase it only that allah guided me and
00:01:27.120
made me realize that these kind of things will never make you happy it just it just won't make
00:01:31.360
you happy you know even though i didn't drive as much as nice cars as brother aleem you know i had
00:01:35.520
my little voxor corsa but again i did yeah you know it still it did not make me happy no matter what it
00:01:40.880
was no matter what car i had so obviously that's why me and brother imran i spoke to him in the morning
00:01:44.160
and i said aki you know i saw the instagram of the brother and he looked like he's a bit upset and you
00:01:48.720

00:02:18.080
assalamu alaykum brother i want to talk to you directly inshallah ta'ala
00:02:21.440
that he always does with everybody masha'allah yeah
00:02:23.600
akhi kareem um basically first and foremost this is not coming from a place of hate in any way shape
00:02:29.920
or form it's coming from a sincere place the prophet sallallahu alayhi wassalam said
00:02:34.720
this religion is advice so i'm just coming at you from a perspective of brother i see you know on your
00:02:40.480
instagram you was down you're a bit confused you don't really have focus in your life you said
00:02:44.080
you're going through depression and i just want to reach out to you and just share something with
00:02:48.080
you that i'm confident if you listen to me bro it will give you that clarity and eradicate that
00:02:53.360
depression it will show you how to rather eradicate that depression in surah ahli imran allah subhanahu wa
00:02:59.680
ta'ala says allah talks about a group of things that human beings naturally desire understand it's
00:03:07.360
natural it's not bad it's not wrong to desire any of these things and allah's affirming that for us
00:03:12.320
so some of these things and these are the main things that we really do desire allah says
00:03:27.520
allah says that we have placed inside of the human being
00:03:30.880
zuyi and i didn't nurse inside humans the desire for women because let's be real
0.99
00:03:38.800
men like women women like men right you desire each other it's like one of the biggest desires out
00:03:43.360
there right then upon that allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says also the holding of gold and silver now gold
00:03:48.080
and silver that time to us means money cash you like money that was their currency we need to start in
00:03:55.120
peace but then allah says something interesting he said he said and very fully bred horses
00:04:03.120
like top of the range horses my brothers and sisters by extension who are listening what is the
00:04:09.040
equivalent of full nice bred horses today because you get horses then you get the fully bred ones
00:04:16.160
like ferraris maybe exactly exactly they remember horses were a means of transport for them the
00:04:25.120
the ones that allah is talking about in this ayah khayla al musawwamati these are the ones that are the
00:04:30.000
super cars of today and then allah said wal an'ami wal harth which is basically today's equivalent of
00:04:35.280
businesses nine to five a good job and a nice income a nice career in other words so akhi allah's affirming
00:04:42.160
for us that he put and allah's saying he did this he put inside you and me the desire for women the
00:04:47.840
desire for wealth the desire for nice cars and a really good career but then allah said
00:04:55.440
now listen this is the one the one who himself gave this inside of you now tells you about it
00:05:00.720
you know what this is this is just from the provision of this worldly life
00:05:11.600
what's about to come exactly yeah allah's saying this is just all of this these big women cars all
1.00
00:05:16.800
these things it's just it's just the worldly life but with allah in the law but what allah has for you
00:05:25.680
with him that's not in this world what allah has for you with him is even better if i was setting
00:05:31.600
phones you came to me to acquire this phone and i told you bro i made this phone i sell this phone
00:05:38.480
i know this phone guess what it's a rubbish phone are you gonna buy it no because the one who created
00:05:44.080
the phone the manufacturer of the phone is telling you akhi this phone is a waste of time don't purchase
00:05:48.000
this phone you're gonna be like yo okay i mean you're losing business but i'm not about to buy this
00:05:53.600
phone the same with akhi the one who created this uh who created a woman who created this
00:05:58.480
this super powerful rides and cars he created a mind that manufactured these rides who created wealth
00:06:03.280
who gives us wealth businesses gave us these opportunities he's telling telling at the end
00:06:07.280
that you know what it's not even worth a penny to me we can have women money cars it's fine you can
1.00
00:06:12.480
have a night obviously as a wife not like women on the street or whatever have you but the thing is you
0.91
00:06:16.960
have to have these things in balance you have to have them with something else as well they can't be your
00:06:22.000
objective they can be a means towards an objective but then they can't be the sole reason and purpose
00:06:26.480
for which you live now i'm not going to leave you hanging there bro and and and and and i want you
00:06:31.040
to and and i want to explain to you something right so what i want to do is i want to take you to the
00:06:33.920
next ayah because in the next ayah allah subhanahu wa ta'ala what he does is he tells you that which is
00:06:38.480
better remember that's which which with allah is better and allah said you know what else is better
00:06:46.480
is earning allah's pleasure bro you know when you work and spend your entire life trying to
00:06:52.960
accomplish something and then you look towards those who you look up to and respect the most for
00:06:59.600
their approval like your parents for example if your parents come to you and tell you i am displeased
00:07:04.640
and disappointed that hurts but if your parents and if they are the ones that really mean the world
00:07:10.080
to you and they say you know what my son i'm pleased with you you could have nothing you could
00:07:17.840
have just just brought home a little drawing you did at school in year nine and they told you that
00:07:21.760
that will make you feel like you're on top of the world i mean allah is when allah is pleased with you
00:07:29.440
that that is real pleasure that is real happiness now the question comes what is the relationship
00:07:36.960
between having a spiritual relationship with allah and mine and your happiness well it comes back down
00:07:42.320
to mine and your essence you see allah mentioned that these things these things in the previous
00:07:48.800
verse money women cars that he put this pleasure inside of us it's because they're not bad no one's
0.53
00:07:54.880
saying it's bad to have really nice things it's yo allah put that desire in you and the reason he did
00:08:00.080
that in us was because that it feeds our body remember we're made from two components we're made
00:08:06.720
from our soul and we're made from our body sometimes we act like we're just a body not a soul the body is
00:08:12.160
a material thing so it requires material things in order to feed it right it needs food it needs the
00:08:17.680
body can't be like actually fed you know with things that are immaterial you need to put material
00:08:23.920
tangible fruit in your belly right to feed you but notice that the body where did it come from it came
00:08:29.440
from the ground because allah created adam our father from the dirt that came from the ground
1.00
00:08:34.560
now we feed our bodies nice our bodies are healthy but guess what we don't feed and we deprive and we
00:08:42.560
starve we don't feed our soul our souls are starving and hungry and you know when you say i'm feeling an
00:08:52.320
emptiness inside you your body is not feeling an emptiness your body is healthy my brother but it's your
00:08:58.320
heart it's your soul your soul is feeling weak the depression is a result of having a disconnection
00:09:04.960
with how to actually feed and nourish your soul so you've got a very hungry soul right now bro now in
00:09:11.360
order and why i promise you my brother the only way to get over this void you feel in your life is to now
00:09:16.400
fill that soul up with healthy things now where does the food for the soul come from which is a very
00:09:22.640
rational question to ask well it comes from the same place the soul came from the same way the food for the
00:09:27.440
body came from where the body comes from the food for the soul comes from where the soul came from
00:09:31.760
where did the soul come from the omur the command of allah okay the soul came from allah
00:09:39.280
allah gave us that soul so guess where the food for the soul comes from
00:09:44.240
it also comes from what allah gave us what did allah gave us
00:09:55.980
He gave us something that is from Allah's direct speech
00:10:01.860
The very basic way is through the five daily prayers
00:10:04.620
So anything that we place our happiness and desires
00:10:35.420
And also I'm just going to share two verses in the Quran from you
00:10:44.360
And Allah says only with the remembrance of your Lord
00:11:00.200
But obviously try to get this message out to him
