the day I die that all the appointments I made will stop the day I die all the wealth I accumulated will mean nothing but the day I die all the criticisms I feared will no longer mean anything to me all the people I tried to kind of please and live up to their expectations will mean nothing to me it is easy it is eat once you're in a mini bubble it's easy to follow the crowd I don't follow that crowd I was look several years ago I was given these kind of ultimatums that look we want to hear
what you're teaching we want to do these things put a hat on your head put a thaw bond we will call you we will do this we and I had to think about this well I I actually gave this so much thought that look it doesn't settle well with me but I would like to get my message I would like to teach I would like to do these things do I a pretend to be something that I'm not right but that way I could get some reach or do I be stay true to myself but that way I will walk along and I made that choice and will lie I'm grateful that Allah
gave me the ability to study his deep for myself to study his book to study the words of the messenger of God so I'm not dependent on these people right and I walked alone despite all these criticisms so this isn't when you say this about you know oh you're doing this for so-and-so you're doing this I'm not doing that I've been boycotted I've been blacklisted refuted marked insulted even on these pages that are refuting me follow the comments the kaffir agent government agent clown is a dejar he's a
Shaitaan he's swearing actual swearing at me as well so look why don't these think what I'm saying to what I'm saying to you people is that look live right don't let the fears of people hold you back because a time will come I think what lie he almost every day or every other day I think believing I'm not saying this in a good way I don't think it's necessarily a good thing I can't help you but I often ponder about death and I ponder about my own mortality and stuff like this and I think like just the whole thing it's overwhelming and I think about this but I use that to live
how I'd want to be true to myself live free live with what you believe to be true you don't need to succumb to the intimidation of other people I don't need to follow this because you this view because you're gonna emotionally blackmail me intimidate me to boycott me or to kind of insult me or to do these things I want to live free how Allah created me live free believe be true to yourself to start off with that is how you can be true to God and His Messenger and to this theme though we don't need to kind
of be intimidated to be cowed to be kind of to not have the courage to worry about criticisms to worry about you know all of these these people will say this to me I'll be cut off from my circles oh this Masjid they'll call me a deviant they'll call me a no this is what I'm saying live up to your crew how you believe if something doesn't settle with you it doesn't settle with you Allah say fools us to reach to look at things I've aalayam the rune do they not look at
this do they not do they not look at a fella at the Barone and Quran and Allah who Lubin a follower do they not ponder over the Quran do they not reflect let them try to find contradictions let them try to reason let them be a people of reason even if this means you walk alone may a kala each alot Rajani bayman silica and I'm serious this is and as the this is so mature assault on police si I walked alone towards my destination Luke sought out they're gay or card of
up on target the people came along and this became a caravan so I set off on my own so I'm not so don't tell me these kind of oh you're doing this for that wins and for the desires or for that I'm doing this to be true I want to live free I don't want to live with these regrets I don't want to at your deathbed think oh why did I spend all those a lot of all those years living like that live free like you will nobody knows how long life will be but at least live each moment beginning with that and then going into
appreciating the moment with these words people let's begin this amazing inshallah blessed Navarro kiya really everything comes from Allah in that sense time in itself is described in a hadith to be Allah meaning that it's coming from him it's a blessing and and a hadith that the Prophet said two things people are so forgetful and negligent about free time and good health so live it people love enjoy learn love be around people that
