Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the prophets and messengers, Muhammad and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and upon his family and his companions.
I am starting the series on what I call the universal truths.
And we spoke about the first of them yesterday, which was, do you remember that?
What was the first universal truth?
Anybody?
What passes?
Time.
Time.
Time passes.
Time passes.
Therefore, what must you do at the end of each day?
Notes.
Keep a note and ask yourself, what did I gain today?
Right?
So, this is a very, very important thing.
End of each day, what did I gain today?
And again, we have the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad.
He said that for a Muslim, no two days are equal.
He said no two days are equal.
Each day must be better.
Better than the previous day.
These are, if two days are equal, like yesterday and today are equal, then you wasted one day.
Second universal truth is that liking doesn't matter.
Liking does not matter.
Whether you like something or not doesn't matter.
Now get this into your head.
Drill this down.
Make a, take a drill, make a hole.
Put it inside.
Right?
Liking doesn't matter.
The reason I'm saying this, especially with Souvath emphasis, is because this culture,
the American culture, is built on the exact opposite.
And the opposite is liking is the only thing which matters.
Right?
I like to live, I have a lifestyle choice that matters.
I like to see, I'm a male with a big beard and I like to see myself as a woman.
That matters.
So I will come to you and say I identify today as a woman.
And you are supposed to treat me like a woman.
I'm a five-year-old kid.
I'm not exaggerating.
You can check all of this out.
I speak to teachers.
I speak to professors.
College here, which is a women's college.
Women only.
Smith College.
Women only.
Women only.
But any males who identify,
themselves as females are also admitted in this college.
Why?
I like to see myself like that.
As I told you, you can check all this out.
I'm not exaggerating.
This whole culture is built on I like.
What I like matters.
Nothing else.
And I'm saying to the opposite.
The universal truth is what you like.
Does not matter.
So take this word.
I like.
Write it on a piece of paper.
Write it on a piece of toilet paper and flush it down the toilet.
For you to get an understanding of exactly what to do with that.
Don't even throw it in the garbage.
I don't even want to see it there.
Flush it down the toilet.
I like does not matter.
Liking does not matter.
And you know why?
Because everything beneficial is disliked at first.
Everything without exception.
Everything beneficial is disliked at first.
Everything beneficial is painful at first.
Ask people who are who who are who yearn to have children.
Right.
You don't have children.
You want to have children.
You are begging Allah to give you children.
You're doing this treatment, that treatment, what not treatment to have children.
And Allah grants your wish.
And you get.
Pregnant.
What happens?
What happens?
You can eat a cheesecake every day.
You can't even keep water down.
You vomit and vomit and vomit.
You're living on IV fluids for how long?
Ten minutes?
In some cases, nine months.
You cannot get out of bed.
And after that.
You have to take a shower.
You have to have a shower.
And then you're going to the bathroom.
But in the delivery process you undergo pain.
Like nothing on Earth.
It is Allah's mercy that he makes the woman forget the pain of delivery.
Otherwise no woman will have a second baby.
Frankly it beats me how a woman wants a second baby.
But Allah makes them forget.
So they have child after child.
The pain.
I'm not exaggerating.
This is research data that the pain that a woman feels in childbirth
is the worst pain that any human being can ever feel.
