00:00:00.000 I started becoming happier when I started praying regularly.
00:00:04.020 The best reset I have is every Friday for Jumaat prayer.
00:00:06.520 Am I a perfect Muslim?
00:00:07.320 No.
00:00:07.620 Islam is perfect.
00:00:08.280 I'm never going to be perfect.
00:00:09.380 But the best feeling I get is when I pray Friday at 1.15, just routine now, and thank
00:00:14.300 God for everything.
00:00:15.280 Humble myself, quiet, listen to the imam speak.
00:00:17.400 Think about my friends, family, think about everything that's going on.
00:00:19.620 I'm grateful to be alive.
00:00:20.620 I'm grateful for my health.
00:00:21.580 Grateful that I have food and water.
00:00:22.780 Glad that I'm in this position.
00:00:23.920 Wish the best for everybody.
00:00:24.800 That's it.
00:00:25.500 That's where everything is refreshed.
00:00:26.720 I walk out with a sense of, it's like walking out of like a perfect massage, or it's just
00:00:31.980 completely refreshing.
00:00:32.720 It's like getting out of the ocean after a long day.
00:00:35.440 You walk out there, you feel fresh.
00:00:36.780 Boom.
00:00:37.180 I made wudu.
00:00:37.920 I'm clean.
00:00:38.580 Listen.
00:00:39.160 And now I remember what I'm supposed to do.
00:00:40.360 Remember why I'm here.
00:00:41.120 Nothing really else matters.
00:00:42.260 No amount of money is going to cure what's in my head.
00:00:44.880 No amount of fame is going to cure what's in my brain.
00:00:47.180 The only thing that's worth thinking about as a person is how can I be the best servant
00:00:50.980 for Allah?
00:00:51.460 How can I be grateful?
00:00:52.120 Thank God for the day.
00:00:52.820 Alhamdulillah.
00:00:53.240 Thank you for everything.
00:00:54.000 Boom.
00:00:54.940 I'm glad to be alive.
00:00:55.880 I leave and I'm happier.
00:00:57.480 I think it's better to think in those terms rather than thinking like, what dopamine can
00:01:00.260 I get for the day?
00:01:00.940 How do I need to vibrate my brain?
00:01:02.340 How many more pills do I need to take?
00:01:03.420 How many therapy do I need to go to?
00:01:05.120 Instead, it's very simple.
00:01:06.360 What does God want me to do?
00:01:08.140 And you're reminded that you step into prayer and you leave.
00:01:10.200 Everything's better.
00:01:10.780 I want to start praying five times.
00:01:12.340 It's hard.
00:01:12.800 It's hard with the schedule that I have.
00:01:14.040 I'm traveling so much, but do my prayer.
00:01:15.920 If anybody is really struggling right now, I recommend that.
00:01:18.300 And even if you're not a Muslim, just try it.
00:01:19.520 It's just that routine.
00:01:20.280 What you're standing up to a room of like 30, 40 strangers, shoulder to shoulder, facing the same
00:01:24.780 direction, at the same time, all over the world, everybody is putting their head to the floor
00:01:28.220 and they're showing gratitude for everything.
00:01:30.260 At the same time, humbling, no shoes on, no ego.
00:01:33.640 I don't know.
00:01:33.960 I don't care.
00:01:34.380 I don't have no idea who's next to me, but this is my brother.
00:01:36.100 In this moment, this is my brother.
00:01:37.360 I've never met him before.
00:01:38.640 Nothing has fixed whatever nonsense that's been programmed into your brain from social media,
00:01:43.820 from idol worship, from the celebrity garbage, from the drugs, from the only thing that's
00:01:48.600 really been able to cleanse it.
00:01:50.220 I've tried everything.
