Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the prophets and messengers.
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and upon his companions.
Peace be upon him, and upon his companions.
From now on, my brothers and sisters, may Allah bless you.
And make this whole trip a means of great khair and barakah and blessing for all of us, inshallah.
I am saying this to you also in the way of a wasiyah,
because I do not know if I will see you on such a trip again.
So, remember this.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made this world with some things easy and some things difficult.
For example, to eat whatever you see,
is easy.
To control yourself, is difficult.
To sleep till any time, is easy.
To wake up for fajr, is difficult.
To wake up for tahajjud, is even more difficult.
To speak any way you like, you get angry,
use all the foul language you heard anywhere, is easy.
To control your anger, is difficult.
To not read, to scroll your screen, you know, eight hours a day, nine hours a day, six hours a day, easy.
Not to do that, instead, use the phone only and only to call people if you have to call them.
Otherwise, do not use the phone, read actual books, which expand your mind, which increase your knowledge,
which increase your knowledge.
And, do not do that.
So, to sit in one place, and do not exercise, and end up looking like a pregnant cow, is easy.
To exercise, to break into a sweat, is difficult.
And so on.
I want you to, individually, I want you to make a list, as an exercise, I'm telling you,
make a list of the easy and the difficult.
Now, so Allah made this world like this.
Things are easy, things are difficult.
But Allah did one more thing.
Behind every difficult thing, Allah put great benefit.
And behind every easy thing, Allah put traps.
If you don't move, and if you sit in one place and eat,
you will not be able to do anything.
You are looking at a wheelchair very early in your life.
Now, sitting and eating in one place is easy.
But spending the rest of your life in a wheelchair, is that easy?
So ask yourself, is that what you want to do?
You want to spend your life in a wheelchair?
Then go, eat.
Eat till like there is no tomorrow, because there will be no tomorrow.
And then, you will be able to do anything.
You will be able to do anything.
You will be able to do anything.
To grow up ignorant, easy.
But once you grow up ignorant, what's going to happen to you once you become an adult?
Who will give you a job?
How will you start a business?
What kind of family will you raise?
You will have children who will look down on you.
And they will say, this is my father?
He doesn't even have a clean mouth.
I mean, the man curses all the time.
My father knows nothing.
He doesn't even have a clean mouth.
I mean, the man curses all the time.
My father knows nothing.
My father is an ignorant bum, which is what you will be if you don't read.
Is that what you want for your...
Is that your role model?
You want to be a role model like that for your children?
My father is my role model of how not to be.
Is that what you want your children to say?
Your choice.
So when you scroll on the screen the whole time, that's what you're heading for.
You're heading to become a father that your child will look down on.
Okay?
It's not enough to say, respect the father because he's your father.
No, no, no, no, no.
You have to become worthy of respect.
That starts now.
It doesn't start when you're 50 years old.
Starts now.
Right?
So choose.
Choose your hard.
Choose your easy.
And do that every single day.
Allah created this world with what we call laws of physics, fundamental laws.
The law of gravity, for example.
Any object free falling in space is attracted towards the earth at an acceleration of 32
feet per second per second.
This law of gravity applies on anything which is in free fall in space.
