WEBVTT 00:01.191 --> 00:05.217 [SPEAKER_03]: So page one, twenty in the book, The Significance of Time. 00:05.417 --> 00:15.692 [SPEAKER_03]: Allah tells us in Surat-e-Lasal that our activity in time or how we conduct ourselves in time can lead to either our failure or our success. 00:15.712 --> 00:17.014 [SPEAKER_03]: So it's a very serious matter. 00:17.635 --> 00:19.116 [SPEAKER_03]: Because Allah talks about khusr. 00:23.238 --> 00:30.361 [SPEAKER_03]: You want to be new age, yogi, you're sitting your present all the time, and you're at a state of loss. 00:30.561 --> 00:36.945 [SPEAKER_03]: If you don't do the following, if you're not busy in time with the following four things, 00:37.765 --> 00:39.086 [SPEAKER_03]: Then you're in a state of loss. 00:39.527 --> 00:40.227 [SPEAKER_03]: It's Allah's words. 00:58.523 --> 01:10.994 [SPEAKER_03]: In the Nadine Amenua, Aminusani, Hantinua, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, Tau'a, T 01:21.097 --> 01:31.332 [SPEAKER_03]: except those who have faith, do good and urge each other to the truth and urge each other to patience and perseverance. 01:32.013 --> 01:34.417 [SPEAKER_03]: Go to Anne chapter one or three. 01:35.745 --> 01:42.190 [SPEAKER_03]: Subhanallah, Subhanallah, there couldn't be a better word to take an oath on in the Surah. 01:42.771 --> 01:51.057 [SPEAKER_03]: By taking an oath on Asr, Allah Subhanallah is bringing emphasis to the importance of what is to come next. 01:51.938 --> 01:58.183 [SPEAKER_03]: The usage of the word Asr denotes not just time, but the passage of time. 01:59.744 --> 02:04.528 [SPEAKER_03]: What's more, Asr denotes the last portion of the day before 02:06.600 --> 02:10.302 [SPEAKER_03]: Here it's a mistake that I have before sunrise, it should be before sunset. 02:10.982 --> 02:14.164 [SPEAKER_03]: It's the final sprint in the relay race. 02:15.124 --> 02:17.625 [SPEAKER_03]: This is where you have to give it your all. 02:18.266 --> 02:23.268 [SPEAKER_03]: And finally, Acer in Arabic means to apply pressure or to squeeze. 02:23.889 --> 02:30.232 [SPEAKER_03]: Allah SubhanAllah ta'ala wants us to feel the pressure so we get to work and make the most of our allotted time. 02:31.713 --> 02:38.317 [SPEAKER_03]: So if this was the only Surah, we had access to in the Quran, it would suffice for us. 02:38.697 --> 02:40.958 [SPEAKER_03]: Alhamdulillah, it is profound. 02:41.418 --> 02:50.804 [SPEAKER_03]: Allah SWT says, as time passes, if you're not realized in the following four qualities, if you're not busy with the following, then you're at a loss. 02:51.224 --> 02:52.024 [SPEAKER_03]: One, Eman. 02:53.225 --> 02:54.606 [SPEAKER_03]: Have to be realized in the Eman. 02:55.026 --> 02:56.467 [SPEAKER_03]: Two righteous conduct. 02:57.636 --> 03:00.557 [SPEAKER_03]: Three calling others towards the Dean of Islam. 03:01.898 --> 03:04.479 [SPEAKER_03]: And four, having patience. 03:05.920 --> 03:11.802 [SPEAKER_03]: And here it's important to thank you, exercise for the generous donation by the caliphic. 03:12.983 --> 03:19.445 [SPEAKER_03]: Because on YouTube, we have, oh, let's celebrate their first super on a live stream. 03:20.286 --> 03:21.226 [SPEAKER_03]: Fantastic. 03:21.927 --> 03:23.067 [SPEAKER_03]: Let's celebrate, brother. 03:23.847 --> 03:24.788 [SPEAKER_03]: How do you celebrate? 03:26.072 --> 03:28.534 [SPEAKER_03]: I'll give you a nice heart here. 03:29.294 --> 03:30.875 [SPEAKER_03]: Is there a balloon we can trigger? 03:31.936 --> 03:32.336 [SPEAKER_03]: Let's see. 03:32.576 --> 03:33.877 [SPEAKER_03]: You're the best, but barakalafik. 03:35.458 --> 03:39.400 [SPEAKER_03]: So we need to change our perspective and work to strengthen our e-man. 03:39.740 --> 03:46.324 [SPEAKER_03]: So whenever someone comes and tells me like, I'm weak man, I don't have the motivation to do acts, but I know so much about Islam. 03:46.384 --> 03:48.905 [SPEAKER_03]: It's not the knowledge that motivates in and of its own. 03:49.346 --> 03:50.086 [SPEAKER_03]: It's e-man. 03:50.166 --> 03:52.087 [SPEAKER_03]: It's the strength of your light inside. 03:52.207 --> 03:53.748 [SPEAKER_03]: Are you reciting Quran? 03:53.928 --> 03:54.749 [SPEAKER_03]: Are you praying? 03:55.469 --> 03:57.772 [SPEAKER_03]: On time, are you praying five times a lot? 03:57.792 --> 03:59.134 [SPEAKER_03]: Are you missing your fedger? 03:59.614 --> 04:00.355 [SPEAKER_03]: Are you reciting? 04:00.375 --> 04:01.376 [SPEAKER_03]: Are you doing vicar? 04:01.897 --> 04:05.681 [SPEAKER_03]: Are you remembering a lot of Hanoithal and the daytime in the evening time? 04:05.761 --> 04:07.704 [SPEAKER_03]: Are you reciting the misnoun to haze? 04:08.445 --> 04:09.886 [SPEAKER_03]: These are you praying to hajjud? 04:09.946 --> 04:12.649 [SPEAKER_03]: These are all things that strengthen one's e-man. 04:13.310 --> 04:23.854 [SPEAKER_03]: So in order, if you're, if whenever you find your righteous conducts are taking a hit, amylo-solid hat, then you know that there's an issue in terms of the strength of your imands. 04:23.994 --> 04:25.274 [SPEAKER_03]: Always keep that in mind. 04:26.214 --> 04:33.017 [SPEAKER_03]: So we need to change our perspective and work to strengthen our imands so that we busy ourselves day and night with righteous deeds. 04:33.877 --> 04:36.880 [SPEAKER_03]: Waqulli al-Malu Allah says, You gotta get busy man. 04:36.900 --> 04:37.540 [SPEAKER_03]: You gotta work. 04:38.000 --> 04:39.161 [SPEAKER_03]: You gotta put in the effort. 04:39.242 --> 04:51.932 [SPEAKER_03]: It's not just all Hocus Focus, Lovey, Davy, Presence and La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La Ilah, La 04:52.192 --> 05:16.105 [SPEAKER_03]: True Allah Subhanat Al-Aqs through these veils, the veils of multiplicity, the instruments in this world, be they geographical, be they seismological, be they whatever, you know, emotional, psychological, but ultimately there is a Allah did create this world which is the divine matrix and we'll get to that, but there's a purpose behind it. 05:17.225 --> 05:20.510 [SPEAKER_03]: Abatha, it's not a lot of anthropologists entertaining himself. 05:20.731 --> 05:21.973 [SPEAKER_03]: Everything's done for a reason. 05:22.594 --> 05:31.969 [SPEAKER_03]: We need to change this perspective, but however, as we see from point number three, which is calling others to Islam, it's not enough that we practice the Dean ourselves. 05:34.165 --> 05:40.609 [SPEAKER_03]: It's not enough that we just practice our days like, oh, Mashallah, I've realized the reality of everything. 05:40.689 --> 05:43.591 [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm Abdullah, I'm praying five times a day, and I'm doing it. 05:43.811 --> 05:52.937 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but there's a responsibility put on your shoulder by Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to deliver the message of Tahoeed. 05:54.178 --> 05:58.681 [SPEAKER_03]: And call people towards women, ahsan wa kawlem, mimman da'a illallah. 05:59.201 --> 06:03.724 [SPEAKER_03]: Nallah filled the Quran with the stories of prophets, which is your user manual. 06:04.445 --> 06:14.092 [SPEAKER_03]: To see how you're going to deal with humanity and what this responsibility given to you is, most people understand that Salah is farad that fasting is farad that zakaz, farad. 06:14.552 --> 06:21.878 [SPEAKER_03]: But most people are oblivious to the fact that ad-dawa, farad-dawa is also inviting people, calling people to Allah. 06:22.618 --> 06:26.960 [SPEAKER_03]: is incumbent, is obligatory, is far this wedge upon every single person. 06:29.220 --> 06:32.041 [SPEAKER_03]: So he says, it's not enough that we practice the Dean ourselves. 06:32.121 --> 06:43.866 [SPEAKER_03]: We must have concern for others because the thing is, it's so easy to kind of like worship alone in a room, nobody, there's no one to really test your patience. 06:44.766 --> 06:52.632 [SPEAKER_03]: Because the minute you get out there in the world and begin to invite people towards Allah and begin to call people towards who Rasulullah s-R-Saham was called what? 06:52.853 --> 06:57.496 [SPEAKER_03]: As-Sahadir Qul-Amin, by everyone in Qurajshi was the truth for one. 06:58.137 --> 06:59.918 [SPEAKER_03]: The trustworthy one. 07:00.038 --> 07:11.508 [SPEAKER_03]: The minute he said Qul-ul-A, ilaha ilahatul-Flihru, when he called them towards Allah, he became Majnoun, he became crazy, they called them crazy, they called them a magician, they called them a poet, 07:12.858 --> 07:14.319 [SPEAKER_03]: They call them all sorts of things. 07:14.840 --> 07:18.943 [SPEAKER_03]: And the first to stand up against them or some of them where those closest to him. 07:20.224 --> 07:21.185 [SPEAKER_03]: So what's going to happen? 07:21.225 --> 07:27.550 [SPEAKER_03]: This is why right after Tawasi will hack a lot of talks about patients because you're going to need it when you deal with people. 07:28.110 --> 07:30.692 [SPEAKER_03]: And it's going to help you grow spiritually. 07:31.313 --> 07:34.896 [SPEAKER_03]: How will your mirror be polished if you're irritated by every rub? 07:36.371 --> 07:39.394 [SPEAKER_03]: We must have concern for others and call them towards Allah. 07:40.174 --> 07:53.045 [SPEAKER_03]: As well, as long as we are focused on ourselves, people will perceive us and call us righteous, Mashallah, such a righteous individual, he prays, he this, he that, he gets up for tajud, he's always in the karmashallah, tabarakallah. 07:53.826 --> 07:57.088 [SPEAKER_03]: Wally of Allah, and all that thing, he gets to your head, man. 07:57.148 --> 08:01.092 [SPEAKER_03]: You want to humble yourself, go knock on someone's door and call him towards Allah. 08:02.072 --> 08:03.454 [SPEAKER_03]: That will for sure humble you. 08:04.274 --> 08:04.594 [SPEAKER_03]: You said, 08:06.553 --> 08:10.322 [SPEAKER_03]: I say here, as long as we're focused on ourselves, people will perceive us as righteous. 08:10.783 --> 08:15.655 [SPEAKER_03]: The moment we begin calling others towards that truth, we will face resistance and suffering. 08:17.212 --> 08:22.693 [SPEAKER_03]: And here this will require the last condition in the Surah in which we will need to put patience into practice. 08:23.193 --> 08:35.376 [SPEAKER_03]: The second half of the Surah has to do with our responsibility as followers of the final messenger of Allah, and will unpack this dimension of our Dean in the second part of this manual that I hope to launch later this year, my next book. 08:35.976 --> 08:36.516 [SPEAKER_03]: Inshallah. 08:36.576 --> 08:38.636 [SPEAKER_03]: For now, let's focus on the first two points. 08:39.276 --> 08:41.437 [SPEAKER_03]: Any time that passes without. 08:42.177 --> 08:46.478 [SPEAKER_03]: Eman infused righteous deeds counts against us. 08:47.478 --> 09:10.241 [SPEAKER_03]: So one thing is the perspective to see it all what you're going through as creation of Allah, the difficult situation, the easy situation, your child giving you a hard time, your son or daughter giving you a hard time, your maybe your spouse arguing with you whatever it may be that you're going through to see it as being created by a line order to test you. 09:11.218 --> 09:12.860 [SPEAKER_03]: And so that's the e-man part. 09:13.321 --> 09:16.925 [SPEAKER_03]: The Amirusali hat part is the response to that. 09:18.278 --> 09:23.162 [SPEAKER_03]: And we're human beings, so we're gonna earn, you're gonna sin, and you're not always gonna win, you're not always gonna be perfect. 09:23.742 --> 09:26.204 [SPEAKER_03]: That's what Tabas four, that's what Distigua is for. 09:26.845 --> 09:32.489 [SPEAKER_03]: But you're gonna have to try and put an effort and struggle to not react, but to respond. 09:33.189 --> 09:35.491 [SPEAKER_03]: Cause reaction comes from a space of ego. 09:36.092 --> 09:42.336 [SPEAKER_03]: But response is kind of like comes from presence, it's like, well, how does Allah want me to respond here? 09:42.737 --> 09:43.938 [SPEAKER_03]: And what was the way 09:44.738 --> 09:51.840 [SPEAKER_03]: in which the Prophet ﷺ embodied that type of response and manifested it. 09:52.281 --> 10:01.083 [SPEAKER_03]: And that's how I need to have enough knowledge of God's commands and the Son of the Prophet ﷺ to know how to respond. 10:01.764 --> 10:08.166 [SPEAKER_03]: When people push back, when people resist, when people are mean, when I go through difficult situations, when I go through good situations. 10:08.846 --> 10:12.890 [SPEAKER_03]: So when something happens to us, we're like, oh, that's from Allah, man. 10:12.930 --> 10:14.751 [SPEAKER_03]: I prayed to Hejj, last night, everything. 10:14.771 --> 10:16.493 [SPEAKER_03]: Well, what about when things start going bad? 10:17.754 --> 10:22.779 [SPEAKER_03]: Everything's from Allah, Subhanahu Ata'ala, but we attribute that to our nefs, to the ego, always. 10:26.798 --> 10:30.739 [SPEAKER_03]: So that's that, but then you have to do it with concern for others. 10:30.779 --> 10:33.760 [SPEAKER_03]: So with empathy, what else, I will help you. 10:33.780 --> 10:36.801 [SPEAKER_03]: It's not just about you, the world doesn't revolve around you alone. 10:37.682 --> 10:48.385 [SPEAKER_03]: So you have to have concern for others, and then you whatever happens in return to your response, also be patient with that, and accept it, have it on when it comes to that. 10:49.728 --> 10:56.651 [SPEAKER_03]: So we can't blame the times for our current state nor can we blame time for our problems by saying we just don't have enough time. 10:57.511 --> 11:03.433 [SPEAKER_03]: Many people are so busy I don't have, well first of all you choose not to have time because you choose where to put your focus and effort in the day. 11:04.053 --> 11:06.814 [SPEAKER_03]: So this, I don't have time is typically things children say. 11:07.395 --> 11:09.375 [SPEAKER_03]: You know, mature adults they never say I don't have time. 11:09.455 --> 11:16.118 [SPEAKER_03]: They say I choose not to put my attention and effort into this thing that you want me to do. 11:17.082 --> 11:19.005 [SPEAKER_03]: That's what it's not that you don't have time. 11:19.065 --> 11:19.685 [SPEAKER_03]: It's a choice. 11:21.267 --> 11:27.736 [SPEAKER_03]: Apparently something else is more of a priority to you than than this, whatever this may be. 11:29.752 --> 11:33.553 [SPEAKER_03]: However, we choose how we spend our time. 11:33.713 --> 11:37.014 [SPEAKER_03]: We are accountable for it. 11:37.234 --> 11:46.357 [SPEAKER_03]: It's all on us ourselves, Imam Ishafi said, he says, we blame time, though we commit the wrongs. 11:46.798 --> 11:50.859 [SPEAKER_03]: Time has no evil except the sins we commit in time. 11:52.061 --> 11:54.823 [SPEAKER_03]: So time in and of itself is not a good or bad thing. 11:54.963 --> 11:56.224 [SPEAKER_03]: It's God's matrix. 11:57.004 --> 11:59.445 [SPEAKER_03]: It's how we're supposed to, you know, go about our lives. 11:59.866 --> 12:03.108 [SPEAKER_03]: But now we're going to delve a bit deeper and break down time. 12:03.148 --> 12:04.569 [SPEAKER_03]: So really understand what it's like. 12:04.609 --> 12:06.950 [SPEAKER_03]: And this is where it gets matrixy. 12:11.047 --> 12:16.852 [SPEAKER_03]: So there's that practical aspect which is Muhammadun Rasulullah for how you fill your time. 12:31.625 --> 12:35.867 [SPEAKER_03]: This is what, for a believer, it's what's God's command in the present moment. 12:36.227 --> 12:49.374 [SPEAKER_03]: And then surrendering Islam, submitting to it, wholeheartedly, e-man, for the sake of Allah with sincerity, seeing the situation coming from Allah Subhanata Allah, what book is he reading? 12:49.394 --> 12:50.395 [SPEAKER_03]: He's reading his own book. 12:51.075 --> 13:03.603 [SPEAKER_03]: Called the afterlife manual every Muslims guide to happily ever hear after you can find and access this book on Amazon again the afterlife manual every Muslims guide to happily ever hear after 13:05.946 --> 13:14.151 [SPEAKER_03]: So a deeper dive into time, warning than this section on time is quite deep and heavy to comprehend. 13:14.772 --> 13:16.373 [SPEAKER_03]: So you should read it several times. 13:17.073 --> 13:17.874 [SPEAKER_03]: No pun intended. 13:19.235 --> 13:22.056 [SPEAKER_03]: Let's examine our actual experience of time. 13:22.657 --> 13:25.419 [SPEAKER_03]: We'll soon see that time is a useful illusion. 13:26.219 --> 13:29.060 [SPEAKER_03]: Have you ever had an experience in the past? 13:29.620 --> 13:31.660 [SPEAKER_03]: So now we're talking about experiences, okay? 13:32.120 --> 13:39.002 [SPEAKER_03]: We definitely had many thoughts of the past, but even those thoughts when we experienced them, we experienced in the present moment. 13:39.402 --> 13:40.962 [SPEAKER_03]: So if I tell you, what did you do yesterday? 13:41.042 --> 13:42.983 [SPEAKER_03]: You go into your bank of thoughts. 13:43.723 --> 13:48.204 [SPEAKER_03]: Memories, and you say, okay, yesterday I had this for dinner, that for lunch or whatever it may be. 13:48.864 --> 13:53.405 [SPEAKER_03]: Where is that experience of those thoughts taking place yesterday? 13:54.466 --> 13:55.406 [SPEAKER_03]: They're taking place now. 13:56.326 --> 13:58.568 [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so now let's talk about the future. 13:59.068 --> 13:59.509 [SPEAKER_03]: The future. 13:59.529 --> 14:02.171 [SPEAKER_03]: I want you to imagine what you're going to do tomorrow. 14:02.191 --> 14:03.332 [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, you close your eyes. 14:03.412 --> 14:04.213 [SPEAKER_03]: Say tomorrow. 14:04.933 --> 14:11.819 [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to, you know, sit down and, you know, have a very nice meal with my family. 14:11.839 --> 14:16.303 [SPEAKER_03]: We're going to have a pasta and this and then you begin to imagine. 14:18.056 --> 14:19.717 [SPEAKER_03]: I say, where's this happening in the future? 14:19.737 --> 14:22.598 [SPEAKER_03]: It says, no, those thoughts, when are they happening? 14:22.778 --> 14:23.018 [SPEAKER_03]: Now. 14:23.038 --> 14:26.419 [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so thoughts of the future happen now. 14:26.639 --> 14:27.679 [SPEAKER_03]: And when do they unfold? 14:28.439 --> 14:29.760 [SPEAKER_03]: Do they unfold in the future? 14:30.660 --> 14:31.861 [SPEAKER_03]: Let's see who's paying attention. 14:31.881 --> 14:32.741 [SPEAKER_03]: Let's look at the chat. 14:33.141 --> 14:34.041 [SPEAKER_03]: When do they unfold? 14:39.743 --> 14:41.404 [SPEAKER_03]: See on the chat on YouTube, there we go. 14:41.664 --> 14:42.824 [SPEAKER_03]: So I was stuck for a bit. 14:43.644 --> 14:45.225 [SPEAKER_03]: So when do they unfold? 14:47.922 --> 14:49.043 [SPEAKER_03]: Now, exactly. 14:49.123 --> 14:54.889 [SPEAKER_03]: So the thoughts of the past, so your memories, you never, you don't have a past, is not trippy. 14:55.970 --> 14:57.412 [SPEAKER_03]: You don't actually have a past. 14:57.933 --> 15:04.279 [SPEAKER_03]: The past is in your head, because you access it, and those thoughts that you're accessing, you're accessing now. 15:04.339 --> 15:06.802 [SPEAKER_03]: You've never had an experience outside of now. 15:08.010 --> 15:17.954 [SPEAKER_03]: But now is not a series of moments, or like it's not like these little little, you know, there's like, this is the future point, and this is the past. 15:18.554 --> 15:24.996 [SPEAKER_03]: And then now is this like very small tiny infinitesimal unity now. 15:26.096 --> 15:27.997 [SPEAKER_03]: And then there's a bunch of nows. 15:28.217 --> 15:30.258 [SPEAKER_03]: No, there's only one ever present now. 15:31.658 --> 15:32.639 [SPEAKER_03]: Then now is timeless. 15:32.739 --> 15:33.419 [SPEAKER_03]: Then now is little. 15:35.320 --> 15:37.161 [SPEAKER_03]: what these new age people refer to. 15:38.342 --> 15:39.363 [SPEAKER_03]: Did the feed cut off? 15:39.463 --> 15:39.783 [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know. 15:39.803 --> 15:40.363 [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think so. 15:40.543 --> 15:42.745 [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, the only the now is real. 15:46.187 --> 15:49.409 [SPEAKER_03]: Well, so then your thoughts in your head are not real, the base. 15:50.189 --> 15:52.170 [SPEAKER_03]: It's not a fully accurate statement. 15:52.210 --> 15:52.891 [SPEAKER_03]: We'll get to that. 15:53.351 --> 15:59.915 [SPEAKER_03]: But really, thoughts that are where you're accessing the past are typically called memory. 16:00.796 --> 16:04.658 [SPEAKER_03]: And thoughts where you're typically imagining the future are called imagination. 16:05.976 --> 16:09.418 [SPEAKER_03]: but they're both thoughts and they always happen here and now. 16:10.019 --> 16:17.944 [SPEAKER_03]: So breakfast this morning and dinner last night and this life are happening in the exact same now. 16:21.307 --> 16:22.307 [SPEAKER_03]: That's the trip apart. 16:24.549 --> 16:29.492 [SPEAKER_03]: You've always, you've never, never, ever had an experience in the past or the future. 16:29.873 --> 16:33.255 [SPEAKER_03]: And if we define time, if we define time, 16:35.264 --> 16:37.947 [SPEAKER_03]: as I feel so trippy now. 16:39.828 --> 16:41.990 [SPEAKER_03]: Wisdom or wisdom. 16:42.510 --> 16:43.611 [SPEAKER_03]: Not sure how you pronounce it. 16:44.772 --> 16:46.133 [SPEAKER_03]: I feel so trippy now. 16:46.254 --> 16:47.074 [SPEAKER_03]: Now is trippy. 16:48.075 --> 16:48.616 [SPEAKER_03]: You trip up. 16:48.656 --> 16:51.758 [SPEAKER_03]: The mind doesn't like the now because the mind can't access the now. 16:51.778 --> 16:53.540 [SPEAKER_03]: That's why you never live in the moment. 16:53.580 --> 16:54.380 [SPEAKER_03]: You are the moment. 16:54.801 --> 16:59.225 [SPEAKER_03]: You know, trying to find the now is like trying to look for your eyes. 17:01.386 --> 17:02.067 [SPEAKER_03]: Can you imagine? 17:05.658 --> 17:08.221 [SPEAKER_03]: Natalia is like, what is he on about? 17:09.122 --> 17:11.785 [SPEAKER_03]: How many joints did he roll this morning? 17:14.668 --> 17:19.293 [SPEAKER_03]: Leave there's like Sheikh Osama's like, oh yeah, there is no past. 17:20.354 --> 17:21.675 [SPEAKER_00]: There is no future. 17:22.456 --> 17:24.278 [SPEAKER_00]: There's only, do now. 17:27.185 --> 17:28.626 [SPEAKER_03]: So it's true though. 17:29.627 --> 17:33.549 [SPEAKER_03]: You've never had an experience outside of the present moment. 17:33.589 --> 17:39.993 [SPEAKER_03]: And if we define, if we define time as the duration between two events, right? 17:40.013 --> 17:44.797 [SPEAKER_03]: Let's actually define time as the duration between two experience two events. 17:45.417 --> 17:49.700 [SPEAKER_03]: So this is the only event I know of is the event that unfolds in the now. 17:49.740 --> 17:50.961 [SPEAKER_03]: This is event number one. 17:51.859 --> 17:52.519 [SPEAKER_03]: This life. 17:53.960 --> 17:56.961 [SPEAKER_03]: This is event number one, me holding my coffee. 17:57.702 --> 17:58.682 [SPEAKER_03]: And on and live. 17:58.882 --> 18:00.143 [SPEAKER_03]: This is event number one. 18:00.543 --> 18:03.505 [SPEAKER_03]: Now the duration time is the duration between two events. 18:03.525 --> 18:06.406 [SPEAKER_03]: So now I have to find a second event that's not in the now. 18:07.580 --> 18:10.584 [SPEAKER_03]: So can you go and travel in your mind to the past? 18:11.705 --> 18:12.807 [SPEAKER_03]: What do you go? 18:12.867 --> 18:15.991 [SPEAKER_03]: Can you, yes, you can, but can you go to the past? 18:16.011 --> 18:19.035 [SPEAKER_03]: Can you actually travel back to the past? 18:19.075 --> 18:19.536 [SPEAKER_03]: You can. 18:19.616 --> 18:20.377 [SPEAKER_03]: Nobody can do that. 18:20.757 --> 18:22.660 [SPEAKER_03]: Can you travel into the future? 18:23.120 --> 18:24.042 [SPEAKER_03]: Can you, me and you? 18:24.202 --> 18:24.683 [SPEAKER_03]: No, you can. 18:25.758 --> 18:33.924 [SPEAKER_03]: Now you can think about the past, but those thoughts about the past are happening now. 18:34.905 --> 18:37.587 [SPEAKER_03]: So go ahead and try to find me event number two. 18:37.807 --> 18:40.469 [SPEAKER_03]: The event number one is this, the live where I'm holding this. 18:42.411 --> 18:43.552 [SPEAKER_03]: And that's happening in the now. 18:43.612 --> 18:45.493 [SPEAKER_03]: We need another event that's not now. 18:45.693 --> 18:47.315 [SPEAKER_03]: We need an event in the past. 18:47.976 --> 18:52.077 [SPEAKER_03]: but there is no event in the past because it's always unfolding now. 18:52.517 --> 18:59.820 [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, we need an event in the future, but when it unfolds, it unfolds in the now, the future is just an idea in my head. 18:59.940 --> 19:06.142 [SPEAKER_03]: And the past after the now unfolds is just a memory, another thought in my head. 19:06.222 --> 19:10.563 [SPEAKER_03]: So the thoughts are happening now and experiences always happening now. 19:10.643 --> 19:12.303 [SPEAKER_03]: So there's only one event. 19:12.503 --> 19:13.724 [SPEAKER_03]: I can't find the other one. 19:13.844 --> 19:15.704 [SPEAKER_03]: I'm looking all over the place for it. 19:16.065 --> 19:17.025 [SPEAKER_03]: So if you can't find it, 19:17.725 --> 19:18.606 [SPEAKER_03]: It's not there. 19:19.747 --> 19:22.949 [SPEAKER_03]: And if it's not there, you can't have time. 19:23.370 --> 19:29.074 [SPEAKER_03]: Because time is the duration between something in the past and the now, or the now, and the future. 19:29.154 --> 19:34.759 [SPEAKER_03]: And if there is no future, and there is no past, except as constructs of your head, then there's only the now. 19:36.460 --> 19:39.863 [SPEAKER_03]: So experience is always, and people are like, I need to understand this. 19:42.030 --> 19:51.977 [SPEAKER_01]: And then they're like, they put on their thinking cap. 19:52.057 --> 20:10.549 [SPEAKER_03]: And they're thinking, and the problem is, every effort you put into understanding, into experiencing, not understanding, every effort you put into trying to experience the now is a step away from it. 20:12.368 --> 20:16.911 [SPEAKER_03]: Because trying to live in the now is trying to stand up and take a step towards yourself. 20:18.833 --> 20:20.734 [SPEAKER_03]: You're already the now. 20:23.797 --> 20:27.339 [SPEAKER_03]: The body mind is the you're already the now. 20:28.360 --> 20:34.665 [SPEAKER_03]: So like that's what I mean when I say trying to find the now is like trying to look for your eyes. 20:36.023 --> 20:40.149 [SPEAKER_03]: You can see everything outside of it, sort of speak, because they're objectified. 20:40.950 --> 20:42.613 [SPEAKER_03]: But the eye can't see itself. 20:45.357 --> 20:45.937 [SPEAKER_03]: I can't. 20:46.739 --> 20:49.443 [SPEAKER_03]: Although it's because it is itself. 20:50.124 --> 20:52.307 [SPEAKER_03]: It's so trippy, but it's true. 20:54.120 --> 20:59.505 [SPEAKER_03]: So this whole time, when I was in history class, I was wasting my time. 20:59.525 --> 21:01.967 [SPEAKER_03]: Nope, I didn't. 21:04.349 --> 21:06.311 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, history is what someone wrote. 21:08.572 --> 21:10.614 [SPEAKER_03]: The now what somewhat really happened. 21:11.215 --> 21:12.776 [SPEAKER_03]: History is what someone wrote. 21:14.438 --> 21:18.281 [SPEAKER_03]: The past, or the now, is what really happened. 21:19.954 --> 21:21.156 [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my God. 21:22.117 --> 21:23.879 [SPEAKER_03]: So you mean this whole time? 21:24.700 --> 21:26.222 [SPEAKER_03]: We've been just living in the now. 21:26.282 --> 21:31.128 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, until you get up in your head and you start to like trip up on how you don't. 21:31.248 --> 21:35.333 [SPEAKER_03]: How come this is happening to me in all the problems in my life? 21:35.434 --> 21:37.676 [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm just like, and there's this issue. 21:37.736 --> 21:38.778 [SPEAKER_03]: What issue do you have now? 21:41.991 --> 21:44.894 [SPEAKER_03]: If there are no thoughts, what issue do you have now? 21:45.435 --> 21:51.261 [SPEAKER_03]: So all your issues and problems and anxiety and depression exist because you identify with thought. 21:51.321 --> 21:52.563 [SPEAKER_03]: You think your thoughts are you? 21:53.163 --> 21:54.425 [SPEAKER_03]: How are your thoughts you? 21:55.466 --> 21:56.748 [SPEAKER_03]: If you say I think 21:58.461 --> 22:04.024 [SPEAKER_03]: There is someone thinking, if you say, you know, my hand. 22:04.724 --> 22:06.205 [SPEAKER_03]: So it's mine. 22:06.465 --> 22:07.626 [SPEAKER_03]: The hand is mine. 22:07.666 --> 22:08.306 [SPEAKER_03]: It's not me. 22:08.446 --> 22:09.027 [SPEAKER_03]: It's mine. 22:09.067 --> 22:09.987 [SPEAKER_03]: It belongs to me. 22:10.067 --> 22:11.368 [SPEAKER_03]: There's duality. 22:11.428 --> 22:18.212 [SPEAKER_03]: So just in the way you express things, you know, my headache, my hand, my body. 22:18.652 --> 22:21.133 [SPEAKER_03]: So if it's belongs to you, it can't be you. 22:21.213 --> 22:21.854 [SPEAKER_03]: What is that? 22:22.734 --> 22:24.415 [SPEAKER_03]: I have a headache. 22:25.035 --> 22:27.657 [SPEAKER_03]: I, this that I think. 22:31.047 --> 22:32.568 [SPEAKER_03]: It's not, I think, therefore, I am. 22:32.608 --> 22:33.889 [SPEAKER_03]: It's I am, therefore, I think. 22:34.750 --> 22:37.471 [SPEAKER_03]: So, what is all that stuff? 22:39.633 --> 22:42.195 [SPEAKER_03]: What is it, what is it, therefore? 22:42.295 --> 22:55.884 [SPEAKER_03]: So, what I'm saying is, it time is the construct of the mind, the think of it as time is what eternity looks like when filtered through thought. 22:57.651 --> 23:01.914 [SPEAKER_03]: and space is what infinity looks like when filtered through perception. 23:03.114 --> 23:11.159 [SPEAKER_03]: So it's like think of the soul, the Rua, the Spirit, and you take the mind which is made of thinking and perceiving and you place it on the Rua. 23:11.199 --> 23:15.401 [SPEAKER_03]: It's not really, the Rua has just modulating as mind, but just for the analogy. 23:15.742 --> 23:19.824 [SPEAKER_03]: And you place this virtual reality headset made of thinking and perceiving. 23:21.627 --> 23:26.974 [SPEAKER_03]: So every time you have a thought, time is born, you experience time. 23:27.915 --> 23:36.726 [SPEAKER_03]: But really all time is time is what eternity allows infinite and eternal time is what eternity feels like. 23:38.829 --> 23:53.853 [SPEAKER_03]: When experienced through, when the ruah, if the ruah is looking through that virtual reality headset called the mind, let's call it the mind set, placed on top of the ruah, and the ruah is looking out through that instrument. 23:55.674 --> 24:03.396 [SPEAKER_03]: The A-Nama to Walu-Wujuhakum Fathema, Wajhullah, wherever you turn, there is the face, there is the essence of God. 24:03.416 --> 24:07.257 [SPEAKER_03]: I have the essence of God, I know to be infinite and eternal. 24:08.267 --> 24:14.372 [SPEAKER_03]: And if the essence of God is infinite and eternal, every place I look has to be infinite and eternal, it is! 24:15.853 --> 24:18.436 [SPEAKER_03]: But you're only perceiving it! 24:19.973 --> 24:22.174 [SPEAKER_03]: As space and time, you're not perceiving. 24:22.214 --> 24:34.517 [SPEAKER_03]: If someone can, um, Sara, if I, what amranadekhi, if I may ask you to please do me a favor and remove that thing from the, the ding ding thing, because I think they're unloading and loading. 24:34.617 --> 24:36.978 [SPEAKER_03]: It's, it's in the, uh, kahraba over there. 24:37.298 --> 24:38.238 [SPEAKER_03]: It's a black box. 24:38.698 --> 24:39.799 [SPEAKER_03]: You have to kind of go through. 24:40.139 --> 24:40.319 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 24:40.459 --> 24:43.600 [SPEAKER_03]: And then just, if you go between the stairs, yeah. 24:44.020 --> 24:45.100 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, just unplug it. 24:46.041 --> 24:46.661 [SPEAKER_03]: And leave it there. 24:46.921 --> 24:47.561 [SPEAKER_03]: I'll plug it once. 24:47.601 --> 24:47.901 [SPEAKER_03]: We're done. 24:47.921 --> 24:49.301 [SPEAKER_03]: Barak al-Fiqqi, just like al-Fiqqi. 24:49.942 --> 24:54.163 [SPEAKER_03]: So, it's like ding, ding, ding, a little bit less of that. 24:56.103 --> 25:00.084 [SPEAKER_03]: So, if we are the now, why do we tie our camel for the future? 25:00.164 --> 25:04.826 [SPEAKER_03]: Because, of course, you have to, because the world is halq and amr. 25:05.406 --> 25:10.047 [SPEAKER_03]: There's form, and you have a choice, because Allah decided to give you choice. 25:10.527 --> 25:12.208 [SPEAKER_03]: Now we're talking about realities. 25:12.268 --> 25:13.208 [SPEAKER_03]: Don't mix the two. 25:14.278 --> 25:17.680 [SPEAKER_03]: We'll talk about Muhammadun Rasulullah and the practical aspect. 25:18.241 --> 25:19.201 [SPEAKER_03]: We're talking about it. 25:19.742 --> 25:27.507 [SPEAKER_03]: But you have to understand first the reality of nature, the reality of things, and then we'll add that layer to it. 25:28.228 --> 25:34.192 [SPEAKER_03]: So Allah SWT created it then you look out and instead of seeing eternity, 25:36.049 --> 25:42.656 [SPEAKER_03]: Instead of seeing infinity, you see space because you're looking through the virtual reality headset of perception. 25:43.157 --> 25:49.244 [SPEAKER_03]: The mind is made, the mindset, the virtual reality mindset is made of thinking and perceiving. 25:50.145 --> 25:56.492 [SPEAKER_03]: Because everything you experience in your life can be boiled down to thinking and perceiving. 25:58.091 --> 25:58.671 [SPEAKER_03]: What do you mean? 25:58.691 --> 26:01.352 [SPEAKER_03]: You know, this is a microphone, no. 26:02.452 --> 26:04.813 [SPEAKER_03]: That's what the mind calls it and labels it. 26:04.973 --> 26:06.613 [SPEAKER_03]: What is its reality? 26:07.313 --> 26:08.014 [SPEAKER_03]: I see it. 26:08.754 --> 26:09.434 [SPEAKER_03]: That's seeing. 26:10.234 --> 26:11.855 [SPEAKER_03]: I touch, so I sense it. 26:12.155 --> 26:16.696 [SPEAKER_03]: It feels very weird. 26:17.696 --> 26:20.977 [SPEAKER_03]: So there's sensation, texture, right?
