Outlines
🌟 The Paradise on Earth and Trust in Allah
The speaker introduces the concept of a 'paradise' on Earth, as taught by scholars. This paradise is not materialistic but rooted in reliance on Allah. The idea is that those who trust in Allah fully can live as if they are in paradise, finding peace and resilience in the face of life's challenges. Pain and sadness still exist, but with reliance on Allah, these feelings are different from those who don’t share this belief. A person with faith can get through hardships more easily and find strength to overcome them.
🧠 The Psychological Benefits of Connecting with Allah
The speaker draws a parallel between a child's connection with their mother and a believer's connection with Allah. Just as a child feels secure and comforted by their mother's presence, those who have a strong relationship with Allah are more resilient in the face of life's hardships. The speaker references a psychologist, John Bowlby, to support the idea that a connection with a higher power can lead to greater mental health, reducing long-term depression and fostering quicker emotional recovery.
💪 Trusting in Allah's Plan (Tawakkul)
The speaker explains the concept of 'Tawakkul,' which is trusting in Allah's plan after doing everything within one’s power. This involves using the resources given by Allah, and accepting any outcome, whether positive or negative, without boasting or pessimism. Tawakkul helps a person avoid negative emotions and thoughts, and instead fosters a balanced perspective on both successes and failures, recognizing that everything happens according to Allah’s will.
🧘 Overcoming Fear and Anxiety with Faith
The speaker provides a practical method to deal with fear and anxiety through faith. This involves first identifying a specific problem, then sincerely handing that problem over to Allah, releasing the burden. Afterward, the individual must clear their expectations and accept the outcome, no matter what it is, while still using the abilities and resources provided by Allah to face the situation bravely. This process is intended to relieve stress and instill confidence.
🤲 Surrendering Problems to Allah for Inner Peace
The speaker further emphasizes the importance of letting go of problems by surrendering them to Allah. After acknowledging a problem, believers should trust that Allah will guide them through the difficulty. This process requires giving up any expectations of specific outcomes and trusting that Allah will provide the best resolution. The speaker encourages using this method to face life's many challenges, explaining that accepting Allah’s will can bring inner peace, even in hardship.
🎯 Embracing Personal Responsibility and Trusting Allah
The speaker warns against the extremes of either relying too much on divine intervention or solely on one’s own efforts. Both approaches are incomplete; instead, the correct approach is a balance between trusting Allah and making personal effort, as both human actions and divine will play a role in the outcomes of our lives. The speaker stresses that Muslims must actively use the 'laws of cause and effect' created by Allah while maintaining reliance on Him for ultimate success.

Child by John Balby who said that a
child has a particular connection with
its mother and that connection when it's
there the child feels safe and at peace
and at Comfort until it grows up with
the warmth of its mother it feels
nothing else can happen to them and
that's through the heartbeat and
everything that was in the womb and he

solution to that brother and sisters
it's like this

motivation

you do these four things no do these
three things I'm going to make it easier
do these three things W it works and
I've seen it work with a lot of people
it works with myself as well number
one you need to first and foremost truly
and really identify clearly what is it
that is disturbing you what's your
problem don't use don't go into five or
10 different problems in your life don't
Branch them out you just go to one by
one just put it in in one little bag and
focus on that
problem identify it you can do it right
now while you're sitting here
identify a problem that plays on your
mind one not two one is it your exams is
it money is it your children is it your
marriage is it something someone said to
you is it your looks is it your job is
it your car what what is it any problem
is it something legal
is it uh someone who is after you
whatever it is one problem identify it
focus on that problem next you're going
to do
this the next thing you're going to do
this you're going to truly from your
heart honestly and sincerely
say even if you need to close your eyes
for
this and you forget about everything
around you for about one minute not even
just 20 seconds just empty your mind can
you do that can you do it for 20 seconds
just don't worry about anything in the
world there is nothing else imagine
you're going to die tomorrow there's
nothing else that matters focus on that
problem close your eyes and say to Allah
if you believe in Allah say to him oh my
Supreme
Lord I'm going to take this problem off
me I don't want it anymore I don't want
to think about it I don't want to deal
with it
anymore and I am giving it to you yeah
Allah I give this problem to
you in Arabic I delegate you you Allah
take it off me I'm going to give it to
you to do whatever you want with it I
don't want it anymore I'm taking it off
my shoulder just give it up give up that
problem that's the second step suddenly
you're going to if you do it right
you're going to feel a little bit of
pressure go off you you've given it up
to Allah if it doesn't work right now do
it tonight when you go to sleep in maybe
you need some some quietness maybe you
need to focus maybe if you're a if
you're a mother maybe maybe children
need to go to sleep if if you're a
father who's also looking after children
with your wife maybe they need to go to
sleep just focus the third step you have
to do after that is
this don't have any expectations after
that don't have any expectations don't
think now Allah is going to do this for
me just empty your brain empty your
expectations and say y anything
that you decree as the outcome from this
I accept it I accept it and I will be
brave and I will face it and I will do
my best for it because I know whatever
the outcome is y I will get through it
summon bravery there is a fourth thing
and that is very
important do what you can within the
power that Allah has given you to take
care of this problem but remember what
you've just done you've given it to
Allah you've taken away all the
expectations whatever outcome you know
that even if it's hard because you gave
it to Allah he will assist you through
it and believe that and be motivated to
it and lastly do what you can out of the
resources that Allah had given you
brothers and sisters if you can get used
to that I swear
W any problem you go through whatever
comes your way and it will you will face
many pains and many problems in your
life don't you dare ever sit down and
think you want a paradise where there's
no pain nothing there has to be but we
don't know what's good for us and what's
bad for us you do what's Halal fear
Allah in what you're doing don't go for
the sins if you do repent to Allah and
forgive yourself don't worry we all make
mistakes but give it to Allah you know
the sin even if you've done a sin even
if you've done something Haram give it
to Allah say the thing that I am feeling
right now I feel so much guilt of that
thing last time that I did y I give it
to you I don't want it anymore I don't
want this burden forgive me
Allah my Lord I regret it I don't want
it anymore forgive me suddenly say I
don't have any expectations we going to
do my best be brave and keep going
forgive
yourself if it's a right of someone else
say y I don't want this problem don't
expect any outcome but the fourth thing
is go and see what can you do to repent
the person that you've wronged how can
you make it up to them lift that burden
off you in any case brothers and sisters
let me explain something further one of
the biggest mistakes a lot of Muslims do
is when they think about relying on God
on Allah subhah wa taala they take it
too far to one extreme and that is they
forget about their actions that they
have to do and they forget about cause
and effect the laws of cause and effect
if you do this that's going to happen if
you don't do that you're not going to
get that who created these laws of cause
and effect brother and sisters who
created them is it not Allah subhana wa
tala it's Allah who created the laws of
cause and effect so when you do
something you will receive go ahead and
do
it means to use the laws of cause and
effect which Allah created for you
because he gave them to you we're
sitting there sometimes and we think
everything sometimes we have 50% of the
solution around us
but we refuse except for a supernatural
solution we want something different do
you realize that I see a lot of Muslims
they sit there they think I need
something different why because somehow
I'm some special because I'm a Muslim I
got to be more special God has to give
me something more special some kind of
sign different to everything
else I heard one one young person said
to me I wanted a sign from Allah about
which way I should go I said what did
you expect he said I expect a
lightning I don't know why I expected a
lightning I think watches too much
Netflix I don't know what the issue is
lightning another one said well I just
wanted hack a breeze a little wind to
come through the window says what kind
of tul is
that brothers and sisters you have to
use the laws and the laws of cause and
effect you have to do what you can there
is the Other Extreme The Other Extreme
is
called when you rely only and solely and
mostly on cause and effect just things
and you don't rely on Allah at all
that's the Other
Extreme and these are most people who
don't believe in Allah subhana wa tala
and these are the people who go through
most stresses because when things don't
work out they try to get motivated but
it's very hard as soon as something
doesn't work out once twice three times
or they lose someone from their life
they don't know what to do with
themselves anymore but if you have your
connection with a higher power Allah
subhana
brothers and
sisters no matter what happens you still
have Greater Hope than anyone else
people still have hope but your hope is
far greater because your ambition your
goal your connection is something Beyond
just this world this world is going
temporary is only temporary it's going
to end so how isul it is to rely on
Allah subhah wa taala and do what you
can of your effort together hand in
hand oh
