All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
And peace and blessings be upon the honorable and the most merciful.
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him,
and upon all of his family and companions.
And peace and blessings be upon him, and upon all of his family and companions.
And peace and blessings be upon him, and upon all of his family and companions.
Brothers and sisters, we have been talking about the four,
what I call the universal truth.
So what is the first one?
Time passes.
Time passes.
Second one?
Liking doesn't matter.
Liking doesn't matter.
Third one?
Anyone third one?
Liking doesn't matter.
Two ways to learn life's lessons.
Smart way and the dumb way.
Smart way is learn from others.
Dumb way is go through it yourself.
Now it doesn't mean that everything can be learned from others.
Something you will go through yourself.
But if you take the help of experience,
then you reduce the amount of pain you need to suffer.
Fourth universal truth.
That learning has four steps.
Learning has four steps.
Number one, diagnosis.
What is it that you need to learn?
What is the problem?
Think about it like going to hospital.
The most important thing in the hospital is not all the information.
Not the qualification of the doctors.
Not the medicine.
It is can they pinpoint what is wrong with you?
Can they find your disease?
Right?
If the diagnosis is wrong, nothing will work.
Number two?
Intervention design.
What will work for what you have?
You got a certain disease.
What is the cure for it?
Number three is implementation.
What is the cure for it?
What is the cure for it?
What is the cure for it?
What is the cure for it?
What is the implementation?
Actually applying the cure.
And number four is monitoring results.
Seeing does it work or does it not work?
Is it working or is it not working?
Now, these four things are possible only in face-to-face dealings.
Now, this is the reason why the importance of the muslih,
The importance of the person to correct,
The importance for the person to correct,
The importance for the person to correct,
teacher.
Right?
So,
face to face,
you cannot learn
these things
just like you cannot learn,
just like you cannot cure a problem you have,
a disease you have, by talking
on the phone to the doctor, it doesn't work. You've got to go.
He has to look at you,
he has to examine you physically.
Right?
He's got to poke you somewhere,
is it hurting?
He's got to put you on a scanner and take you out.
All this has to be done.
And just like you can't watch a
YouTube video on what is wrong with you
and prescribe medicine for yourself,
first of all, it's illegal, secondly, it'll kill you.
Same thing.
Same thing.
So, watching videos
and TikToks
and online courses,
doesn't work.
This is the,
the biggest mistake people make
with regard to learning Islam.
They think that learning Islam is like learning
God knows what, you know, anything else.
Any theory thing.
Learning history.
You can learn history by watching a video or
reading a book.
I mean, how else do you learn history?
You can't go back in time.
But learning Islam is like
learning to cook.
You have to do the stuff yourself.
Right?
No matter which video,
you have to do it yourself.
It's like, it's like martial arts.
You have to do it yourself.
Only then will you understand it.
Only then will you,
will you, will you have a feeling for this day.
Okay, this is how it feels to,
is to fall.
This is how it feels
to save yourself from falling.
And so on and so on.
So, it's very important.
Physical, personal presence.
So, it's not that you can't learn anything
online,
but the quality and the application of it,
not for online.
But therefore, what must you do?
First and foremost thing to do is to focus on your legacy.
What do you want to be remembered for?
As this question to yourself,
