00:00:00.000 I've done the seven-day free trial of the Qur'anly app and it exceeded all my expectations.
00:00:04.560 Brothers and sisters, you can build a habit with the Qur'an by seven-day free trial.
00:00:08.660 Brothers and sisters, no credit card details required at all.
00:00:10.700 And you decide for yourself, is it overrated or is it underrated?
00:00:17.520 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:20.800 Imagine you're on Instagram and you just randomly come across this video.
00:00:25.760 Now, what would your first impression be?
00:00:27.380 So just let's have a good look at this, yeah?
00:00:29.580 Okay, so this sister, may Allah bless her, you see her.
00:00:33.160 And once you see her, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?
00:00:36.120 Now, I'll be very frank and very honest.
00:00:37.940 When I see this video, or if I wasn't not to play it, there's a lot of things that would come to my mind.
00:00:44.060 For example, I would have think, and I just have to be honest here.
00:00:47.620 I would have think that it's just a non-Muslim girl.
00:00:50.700 She might be someone who does, I don't know, fitness. 0.88
00:00:53.480 She might be someone that's talking about, you know, cryptocurrency maybe.
00:00:57.840 I don't know, yeah?
00:00:58.280 She might be someone that goes clubbing on the weekend. 1.00
00:01:03.500 She might be someone that's just into having fun in life. 0.99
00:01:07.500 YOLO, you only live once.
00:01:10.440 So we generalize a lot.
00:01:12.620 And a lot of people do this with us Muslims as well.
00:01:15.620 Now, let's see what this video was actually about.
00:01:20.860 Because this shows us a massive, massive lesson.
00:01:23.180 Let's watch that video and let's come back and learn some key lessons, inshallah.
00:01:27.560 So I think the number one most important thing is you put the intention out there.
00:01:31.560 So like for me, I have the intention.
00:01:33.520 I will not go to bed, rest, or relax unless I do my five for the day.
00:01:38.760 Because I really, really don't think I deserve to lay my head down and go to sleep unless I've given the creator the time that he is deserved and owed, to be honest.
00:01:49.040 So set your intention because if you don't have that intention, you're never going to do it.
00:01:52.840 Make your plans around prayer.
00:01:54.680 So like I am common.
00:01:56.040 And you have to know the prayer times to do that.
00:01:58.200 So download in a van app.
00:02:00.240 Get familiar with the prayer times.
00:02:01.680 And when you go to make plans, for example, like if you're going to hang out with your friends, wait until Isha goes off.
00:02:06.160 Pray your Isha. 0.96
00:02:06.760 You go have fun for the rest of the night.
00:02:08.580 You don't have to worry about it.
00:02:09.760 And I think like another really important tip is just get off your phone.
00:02:13.020 Put your phone down.
00:02:13.900 Stop distracting yourself because these distractions are going to do us in.
00:02:18.960 Okay?
00:02:19.820 So if you haven't prayed yet, get off your phone and go do your salon.
00:02:23.940 So guys, as you saw for yourself, like when I even showed that to my wife and I said, look at this video, like, you know, this girl, what comes to your mind?
00:02:32.760 She was like, you know, maybe someone that likes to have fun, outgoing, party, someone that's a party girl, etc.
00:02:38.700 And I was like, wow, like, you know, we generalize.
00:02:41.600 And I did this before in Speaker's Corner as well.
00:02:43.480 Sadly, you know, it's not something that we want to do, but it's just, you know, maybe we're just conditioned or whatever it may be.
00:02:48.940 Okay.
00:02:49.920 I saw a sister, for example, because I was giving dao leafless house, etc.
00:02:54.680 So I saw a sister with blonde hair, etc. 0.72
00:02:57.120 Standing there and I thought, let me give it to her.
00:02:58.360 And then a brother came and said, oh, she's a Muslim.
00:03:00.240 And I was like, oh, my gosh.
00:03:02.240 Like the thing is, yeah, obviously, I'm not to blame because I'm giving dao material together.
00:03:05.900 And I'm looking at, like, to me, anyone that has a beard or looks like a Muslim, you can't really say there's a specific person that looks like a Muslim.
00:03:12.140 Of course, you have the symbols, etc.
00:03:13.760 But isn't it amazing that it's so beautiful and heartwarming that Muslims all over the world, especially in the West, a lot of women are flocking to Islam.
00:03:23.980 Yeah.
00:03:24.240 A lot of women are flocking to Islam.
00:03:26.480 Alhamdulillah.
00:03:26.880 Because Islam gives the rights of a woman in the right way and honors her.
00:03:30.300 But so this sister, when she was speaking and she was talking about, I do my five a day.
00:03:34.980 And I'm thinking five a day.
00:03:35.700 I'm thinking, okay, you know, apple, oranges, make sure she has a five a day. 1.00
00:03:40.360 And then when I saw it and she was talking about prayer, I was like, damn, like, subhanallah. 0.97
00:03:46.820 Like, firstly, I was so happy. 0.93
00:03:48.180 Secondly, it made me realize, you know what, Ali?
00:03:50.460 Don't ever think or judge people and think, you know what, this person's not.
00:03:55.500 Wallahi, you guys do not know.
00:03:57.060 If we saw that sister walking down the road, some brothers, they'll be looking and thinking, oh, she's probably like this or like that.
00:04:01.780 She's playing with one of these girls. 1.00
00:04:03.080 You know nothing about it.
00:04:04.220 And that's why it's so important to not to have negative assumptions.
00:04:08.080 Allah says in the Quran that even negative assumptions can be a sin.
00:04:11.600 We should assume the best.
00:04:12.240 Who would have thought that this is a sister who prays her salah five times a day and she's given a reminder that we should all pray our salah?
00:04:19.380 Who would have thought that?
00:04:21.840 Who would have thought that?
00:04:23.080 None of us.
00:04:24.120 Do not ever judge a sister who wears a hijab or doesn't wear the hijab.
00:04:27.700 You do not know their affairs.
00:04:28.880 The same with a brother.
00:04:29.760 A brother who might be dressed to play in a certain way, has an earring, whatever it may be, we should never judge.
00:04:34.020 And this is what this exactly taught me.
00:04:35.840 And it was such a beautiful thing to see that Muslims come from in different shapes and different colors.
00:04:39.900 And what really stood out to me is that her dedication to her salah.
00:04:44.880 We have, don't forget guys, we do have people, individuals who may observe the hijab or the niqab but don't pray salah.
00:04:51.460 So it's very important for us and I'm not belittling that oh we should not wear the hijab. 1.00
00:04:54.820 No, we should do that also as well.
00:04:56.800 And we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to make it easy on this river, sister.
00:04:59.260 Inshallah one day she will wear the hijab as well. 0.99
00:05:01.200 But salah is so key in her life that she has acknowledged it.
00:05:05.840 Brothers and sisters, this is what I wanted to share with you guys.
00:05:08.320 I found it beautiful.
00:05:09.060 How did you find it?
00:05:09.660 And what was your first impressions?
00:05:11.340 Maybe it's best not to share your first impressions.
00:05:14.500 But hope you learned a lesson as much as I did.
00:05:18.140 And may Allah bless her.
00:05:18.900 Please, I'm going to send this video to her as well.
00:05:20.840 May Allah keep you firm, sister.
00:05:22.320 My dear sister, may Allah bless you with the best in this life and hereafter.
00:05:25.780 And keep you going, inshallah, with these amazing reminders.
00:05:29.060 And keep firm to your salah. 0.69
00:05:30.060 You're going to have your ups and downs.
00:05:31.780 I'm going to go to next time, brothers and sisters, inshallah.
00:05:34.040 Let's not judge anybody based on how they look, however they look, and whatever the appearance they meet.
00:05:39.660 They may be, because they might be more close to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala than you and me.
00:05:44.340 That actually rhymed.
00:05:45.240 Till next time.
00:05:45.900 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
