Speaker 1:

But today's MN, I think, is exciting. I have been busy with it a lot. It's hard in the bad way, I think, and I imagine there are many others who have also been so much of a burden on me. It's more about having image status and blade. Image status fine enough, that word blade and that.

Speaker 1:

I don't want to be alone, but I'm afraid that I might have done it, especially in my youth, where I was more on, where I thought less about myself. But we should try to put a light on that is, in a way, not used to hear it. But let's start with what we are typically dealing with Image status and blade. I have started. Image for me is when I feel that I'm better than you. Image for me is when I feel that I have more than you. Image for me is when some show me that I have meaning and I'm important. Now I'm putting it over to me. It can be anything. Is there anyone who has a good idea of what image, status and blade can relate to us as well as we are here today? What could it be? Brother, I take my brother out to the left. Image status and blade. What do you think? Yes, expensive thing, show off. Thank you.

Speaker 1:

You are a very good image. You are a real thing. You should be a real thing.

Speaker 2:

Really, I can only be a 4-time. I have something with a different thing.

Speaker 1:

Yes, explain In terms of diversity.

Speaker 3:

They have a different perspective, yes, which can have a different view on the image they want to simulate.

Speaker 1:

So you are a company that makes an image. You are a Nordic company that is a good student in the class, a good, responsible company Bairdøgti Grøn Diversitet. Blade and blade. What can be connected to image status and blade? Can blade be good? Yes, the constant thought of what people want to think, very nice. Let's get to the back row, my brother. How about image status, blade good or bad? Where are we? What do you get to think? Something specific? You are a bit self-sufficient. You think a lot about yourself. Yes, yes, yes. What does my brother say? Image status and blade In your own or you are. You are going to the WGA in Halbert Slund or on the way to one country In your environment. What is blade, what is blade? You are going to be yourself explain.

Speaker 2:

What is blade? It can be. You are going to, which class you are going to be in. I think there are many who are connected to blade. I have a cool yellow card around the neck and you know how to swing your arms. I think many think that is cool, yes, really nice.

Speaker 1:

Now we don't have a microphone for the sisters. What could it be for the sisters? What connects our sisters with image, status and blade? Some of you have some fresh ideas about that. We are going to have a microphone over here for my brother, for the fourth row Sisters. What connects them with image, status and blade? What do you think?

Speaker 4:

I am going to take care of that, but so you are a politician, I think it has to do with the expensive tasks, the expensive market In Seimbergen.

Speaker 1:

Chanel.

Speaker 4:

I think it has to do with the expensive food, the expensive cars, not because you are interested in cars, but it just has to look good.

Speaker 1:

It can be something else. So there is something more to be done, something more to have than others or the most beautiful things, something unique. It connects us with some image, with some status. I am special. I think a lot about the people in the gymnasium, what I hear when I have been out and tried some tricks. I got a nickname Sneaks. It is one of Sneaks Sneakers Contest.

Speaker 1:

School has a big meaning for who you are and what image you are, and that these sneakers are for a people in the gymnasium 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8000 SEK. That is a big focus. It was a bit of a burden and the brand was different. What could it be? If we think about the boxing, the physical, what the eye sees, the good old people, the Pakistanis who came to Denmark. They were going back to Pakistan to build a big house and a big neighborhood and then a big neighborhood and then where you started from. But that is connected a lot with status and with image and with showing that you have done something in the country and you have come back and see my work. What could it be.

Speaker 1:

Image, all kinds of images. So there is something with a casting system, something rang. You are not something that defines me as a strong after name, what it can be now, very, very nice, several boats, and then I think we take what we have collected together and go on For the Kaira Brunei. I want all my brothers and sisters who are sitting here and follow me home, so I will listen to the image status and the blade. There is a jacket on the surface.

Speaker 1:

So we have, of course, one focus on a context that is not good for us. There will be a need that it should also be used in a positive way, that is to say that you are a Nordic or Danish bank, but then you want to know that you have a responsible work, but as a person who is a divider that Allah has created and who has received a starting point. That should also end at a time point. So we get out of ourselves, choose it An image, we get a status. I am a son, I am a daughter, and then we have written a letter. I think that is also us. The dream has had a period in our lives, or has a period where we come to it. Maybe we still do it without we are ready for it.

Speaker 1:

But can you try to put light on this with image status and blade, the jacket on the perfect life, only the strength of our need to profile ourselves, set our own need first and demand attention from others. So when I say image status and blade, what do I get to think, and which positive and negative sign can we connect with this? Thank, you.

Speaker 3:

There were many things in the book. It is really interesting Because I think that everything we are all together Is a product of, but many times we actually don't know that we are a product of it. Because we are all together, we all have some parents, we all have a background, we all have a social rank, where we come from and who have actually done who we are today, who have done many of the things we do. We actually think we are doing a lot of things ourselves, but many of the things we do are actually some things we do because others do it. That is pleasing us. We do a lot of things.

Speaker 3:

I am not giving an example. I am saying why are so many brothers in today's situation that have faith? Is it because they can all just believe in faith, because they all think? That's why it's so sick? It suits me. Why do we all have faith?

Speaker 3:

If you look at what people are going through, it's maybe max 5-6 types of feelings people are going through and if you have to eat, you also land between those 4-5 things that you have to eat. And there are a lot of people that if you talk to them on one hand, they will be completely different than when they are the same as the others. That also affects how we are, and what does that do that? We need to be prized. What does that do that we have a whole relationship with when little Ahmed has done something, he has spoken to 10, or he has said the first word, and then the mother and father are there and then he gets proud. So we get trained in to be proud of something. So what we say is to be proud of something and be happy about something. Is that there is not something wrong in yourself. It is part of our nature. We can be prized and other details about it. We can be proud of that.

Speaker 3:

But where is it that it becomes dangerous? When you start to show off. An extreme example is when, for example, there are parents who are supposed to give their children or their children. They go out and take a loan of half a million because they have to keep a big ball up, because it is what they should do. That is where they are coming.

Speaker 3:

That is where it actually begins to become really, really dangerous, because then you start to go over. You start doing something that you are not allowed to do. You are not allowed to do that because you have put so much effort into it. You have made a false image of yourself that you have to do it. You could also take it at a level of action, because people would like to see the school, for example, if you were to take it to the school. You have simply gone and built other children into or into the university that you can do that now. And when it comes to that, you have to do something, even if you really do not want to do it, because you have simply built up an image of yourself Because otherwise you would not be included if you did not do it.

Speaker 1:

So that means you build up a expectation.

Speaker 3:

Yes, and you actually build up a false example of yourself that is not based on yourself. It is actually based on what the community says, what other people say, what other people think. How many of you have not heard this expression in Pakistan? Logia, so-tinge, Logia, so-tinge. So think about it. We do not say what people say. It means, in Danish, what people think. We do not say what people want to say. We say what people want to think. So we are actually slaves of people's thought. So much is linked to you If you start to say, okay, what people want to think, if I do this, when you are 30 years old, you would like to have a job, and if you are a gift, you have to have your children on vacation.

Speaker 3:

And if you do not keep vacation, what do people think? If you do not have a new car that you drive, what do people think? So that mentality with what do people think? And that is what we do. We do not want to keep an image that shows a lot of research as a fundamental reason, if you are so scared, as a fundamental fact, in the work of self, you are simply not dependent on what other people think about you. You are dependent on what other people think about you. We all know that you have an idea and you do not really hear what others say, but as soon as there are one or two others who say so, you want to stick to what you have said. So all this with status and image, it has to do with what others want to think about you.

Speaker 3:

People who do not normally go to the toy that they go to. If they get the chance because they want to do it, they also go to the toy. We are not talking about Islam and the Prophet, but it simply makes people do something that they just see in their eyes and they come to trust afterwards. People choose a mission because it was smart, but they trust afterwards. It simply makes them hurt themselves a lot and the sisters are more and more involved because they have more to show themselves in the beginning that you have to look good. People can take 100 pictures, but only two are on their profile. Why don't they take the other pictures that they have taken? Maybe they do not fit into the image that you want to give. So you always show the best version and the best part of yourself to others because you want to keep an image.

Speaker 1:

Very, very exciting If we are just here. We are both small baby and child in our parents' care. If we have an image and a status, it is connected with our family and parents. We grow up without the need for feelings and skills and we are all the same, basically with the children we grow up with. Children here are going to school and so on. So when we are close to the last half of the school, then something happens. We take more and more ownership over our own life. We can meet our own choice and it gives us the opportunity to justify our own image, our own status.

Speaker 1:

Teenagers who would like to have a dunks school sisters who are starting to get interest in makeup, what it can be now. So now we are starting to see our own prize. I am a football player. I see everyone else wearing this, so I will also have this. I am all my friends and I am also a little bit of a hater and therefore I will have A, b, c and D. Many of my friends are religious. They buy this and that, so I will also have this and that you do that, because I am in that crisis.

Speaker 1:

So we grow up and are affected by the fact that it is actually connected to some self, some uncertainty about one self. I also think that this can be connected to this if I think about my own time. There is a way to say it if you are a lion or a flock, you follow the flock. So this can be done as everyone else. If everyone goes to the right. It is difficult for me to get up here on the left side.

Speaker 1:

So we are also challenged by some group press, some identity that lies in the society that says this is how you do it, this is how teenagers should look like, this is how sisters should behave, and behave when they are 14, 15, 16 years old. What it can be now, but very exciting now we have so long to go. If we take this a little further, then we all think together okay, status image teaching in a negative context, understood, I am with you. But if we then relate to the holy scriptures, is there such a angle here that you can share with us in relation to and learn, as you say in English, showing off what have we learned from Allah's words and the Prophet? May peace be upon him, and peace be upon him life time. What can we take more from this?

Speaker 3:

Yes, here it becomes interesting. It comes back to many. Here you have to remember the difference between these two things show off in the world. That means I have got a new car, I have got a new house, I have got a new show off. That is. That is what it is. It is also wrong. And then the other part is that you show off what we also call ria.

Speaker 3:

What we say is that your intention is not pure, because we teach in our law that all the actions you perform, you must perform for God's sake. So all the actions you perform, the first is all the Hadiths, the big six Hadiths that we follow in the Holy Spirit. They actually start with a Hadith. That is about all the actions you perform based on your intention. So the religious actions we perform and there are no prophets in Islam some actions that are religious, those that do Hajj, those that do Hejj and all those things. They are based on their intention. So when you get over to that religious part, we find a lot from the Quran and the prophets in Islam.

Speaker 3:

But I would like to share a part of the Hadith that says a little about how dangerous it is, because many times we think it is not me. We have this tendency when we are talking about something, we think it is not me, it is my side, because we think I am protected from this. But how? In the way that when we hear something, including ourselves, our intention, every time we hear something, it should actually be that this is my intention. So here the prophets in Islam, they say to Abu Bakr, who is the one who is talking about her Abu Bakr does not tell you something that is dangerous, that I fear more than Dajjal in my mother. That will actually be more destructive than Dajjal, and we all have heard about Dajjal. When he comes it will be Raunarok and that is real. That is to show off in your Islamic teachings. And further on, prophet Muhammad says and it is dangerous, it is dangerous to a demon that crawls. You could not notice that your demon crawls. Now we all sit here. If there is a demon crawling on our roof, there is no one who will notice it. So fine is the balance between the rites that you can show off in your religious teachings that it is like a demon crawling on you, like you do not want to notice it. In the other hadith, in the other hadith where it is called. It is like a demon crawling on a stone, a black night. Like you cannot see it, you will not be able to see it show off in your religious teachings.

Speaker 3:

What would it say with this? What it would say is when we, for example, perform a good deed, when we perform a good deed, when we perform a good deed, I say I give something, I give some money in Allah's way. Why do I give them in Allah's way? Is it for Allah's sake? Or is it for people to think, oh, he is a good man, he has a good heart, he would like to help others? What is my intention when I do it? And there are really many people when they do it, their intention is not enough.

Speaker 3:

But halfway, when people hear, for example, that this person has given some money, what is happening to his heart? Maybe you hear it a year later, when that day, mohammed gave 10,000 kronor to Mustit. What is happening to Mohammed Before he gets some thoughts? He starts to feel a little better than his neighbour who has never given any money, or the friend he knows who has never given any money, who maybe has more money than him. Come and sit down and wipe him a little bit and he starts to get those thoughts hear, I am a little better than him. Or if you should say, one who, for example, bears, and he sees someone else who does not bear, then he starts to think he has never been, I bear the least. It is once in between. I am better than him. But what is his intention? If you only do it for Allah, then you will be happy with what others have done. But as soon as you start thinking that you are better than others, others have more money than you, they could have helped. The worst thing is when there is time and people start talking about it and when you hear that others are angry with you, they say you remember you did this and that what's wrong with you? So it's really, really dangerous.

Speaker 3:

There are people who want to come on the day of the judgment and Allah wants to start with them. He wants to call upon them, and these people believe that Allah will benefit us even more. And then they will come and call upon them, and one of them actually wants to be a shahid, one who has offered his life in Allah's way, and there will be call upon you to say listen, you have offered your life in Allah's way. Why did you do it? And they say, well, I did it for you. And then I will say to him you did it because you want people to think that you were a brave and strong man, and that's what people have said. So keep up. You don't have more. You don't have more to go and take from people. You have got that and people have talked about you well. So you are done. And then you will know that.

Speaker 3:

One who gives money in Allah's way, and then one who, for example, tells, just as I am sitting here and telling good things, and then he plays the hero, but what is my intention? It's only me, and Allah knows. So it will start with these three most sincere ones who we normally regard as really, really sincere ones one who has offered his life in Allah's way, he has become a shahid. One who is an alim, who we say, is a teacher who teaches others about Islam, and one who gives, who gives so much, one who gives so much money in Allah's way. And that's the three great sincere ones. Many of us, that's what we don't fall into. Then you go out and do something, and then some of you become a shahid, or you give gifts and you tell people good things or you give money, we keep ourselves in front of it. It's those three most sincere ones, and those three will be quiet to the cleanliness and they will not even want to have put a mark on themselves.

Speaker 3:

And here the Prophet says you are slumbering. So they close off with telling a du'a to Abu Bakr or the other ones. If you recite this du'a, allah will protect you from this ria and show off in Islamic teachings, because it's simply so dangerous. And think about it. It's not people who are not in relation to these teachings. These are people who do their salat, people who recite their Quran, people who are fasting, people who are giving satirah. They are giving their satirah. It's those who are being talked about here, and that's something you really need to be aware of. You can only be aware of it when you start to think about your teachings, and there are different ways in which you can work with this and learn from our teachers how, what is it for a mindset you have to have when you carry out these teachings?

Speaker 3:

And the other part with show off, as we talked about at the beginning, with having a car, show off your money, expensive toys what are these side effects? It's actually really dangerous because it's more like you actually start to get much more proud. You start to feel much better and higher than others. You actually start to look down on others and that also ends in destruction, because you start to think that others have less than you, that others are dumber than you, that you have earned so much money, others are not as good as you, that you are more each just like we started talking about with casting systems that you are being held over by them, and that's some of these satanic qualities that Shaitan had and that he feels better than Adam. He says when I'm better than a person, when I'm better than a person, when I'm better than the earth, and the earth goes up and the earth falls down, so I'm better. So these are some of the qualities you start to get when you get this, when you start to live after this with that, you have to show others. All the time. The only thing you go up in is how you can show others what you have All of this with us.

Speaker 3:

We have this syndrome with taking pictures. Why should you upload the pictures of yourself? What is the deep, deepening opinion that you want to show others that you have something better, something that is better than others. When you keep a huge gap, it can be that your neighbour can't keep it, but because you have done it, he goes out and takes a huge amount and does it. So who has been convinced that he has done it? So if you don't use your money regularly and if you do use your money wrong, you are actually a part of the son. It's true that he did it. But then I have this the one who starts a son or is a part of the other one who starts a son, he actually gets a part of the son, one who starts a good life and the other one gets a good life in the same way, because you are also a part of the son. So it's some very, very important things to be aware of. If God has given one money and God has given one status, how do you use it?

Speaker 1:

Very interesting and reasonable at the beginning name, then God has given money and status to most of us who live here in Denmark and are grown up here. So if we take Lebanon, pakistan, turkey, where we take it, then we have a status because we come from Denmark, only because we live here or are grown up here. Two things that I think we should wish from the name that there will be relief. One thing should be that we all live a life where we are maybe all a bit materialistic. We can enjoy things. We can enjoy having it on us without being ready for it. Then they become a part of an image we bear. We can enjoy having some status. We connect it sometimes with respect, and that's probably also a good thing. And we can also come to bless us because we are all the way to the middle. We all have a network we can lean up. We all come in small and big circles where there can be a lot of attention to us. So that's the part of the view that does not revolve around rice. The first thing we should light up is how in this world we have the ability to relate ourselves without being able to bear a status. If you have a car you are happy for a week, a bag, a holiday, what it can be, how to put it to something that is not healthy or unhealthy for the heart?

Speaker 1:

And then there is the part of the view where the name touches. All the time the word showing off is to show itself and it describes the name in an Islamic context. It is the word that is raised from and the word Rea is actually Satan's work. It is him who brings us to where it is being brought to Rea. It means that I cannot sit here on stage and have the wrong intention of sitting. It means that it is about me wanting to see, want to hear, want to put my attention to. That is what all those views are. It is a very important reason that I am sitting here, but in order not to be a ria, we need to dedicate our actions to Allah. There is simply a need to be a connection between me and Allah, so that I do not risk that this will be something that will just be taken away from the ego. One form of ria, as we have also described the name of the place, is a rather strong son so it is a fairly dangerous gift from the heart.

Speaker 3:

The most important thing is that you come to the church just as you just asked someone to do it. It is actually one of the biggest sins you can commit. It is just asking someone to do it, the evil church that you say.

Speaker 1:

So note that ria, all ria, get a perspective on it beyond this view when you go home, because I am a little bit deep in what it actually is, beyond what we share here. But two worlds the world I started with described as not being a ria, and then this world in the context of rias how we take the ria, how we ensure that it does not punish us in this life or in the next. So, in the end, how we also ensure that there is a ria in our way of living and Allah will not be out of the way. What we are going to believe is really good and good and status and example, but in reality it is super dangerous and the word church was used. So at the beginning, help us here.

Speaker 3:

I will just connect the comments. I think we should have some examples before we start to understand it. I imagine and that is what we really, really, really a lot of people are also listening to this, bro. Why do you have to make your own sins? Because I want to have. Why do you make your sins? Because I want to have peace and I want to have this, but is it really your intention to have? Why do you have to make your own sins? You have to make your sins because you have to do it for others' sake. You don't have to do it because you get peace and there comes a barakah in your risk and all these things it is.

Speaker 3:

It is byproducts. It is like when you get a certain amount of vitamin pills, there is a lot of things you get with it, but it is not what your intention is, and this one, this one, falls. There are a lot of people who fall into it. Why do you do this? I do this, I do this, I do this because I want to have this, I want this, but what is your intention? The intention should be what you should have done for others' sake. Then you will get all the other things with you, but the right intention is what you should do for others' sake. That is why we see a lot of people when they get better, in the beginning they get peace, and then they do some things, but just as soon as they do it, there is no peace. When you get better, you don't get peace. When you do it, you don't want to do something. At some point, then stop it Because in the bottom of it, their foundation has been wrong. And that is one of the fundamental things you should understand you should do things for others' sake, and when you do that, then it is what you follow, and then you learn to live with it. And then it is right. Allah has allowed these things. Those who do it, they get it. They get it, but your intention should still be that you should do it for others' sake and you should not do it for these things. And then back to my question about how you can live with it.

Speaker 3:

Again, we see examples of this in our Islamic history. Allah has given the greatest kingdom to Solomon and the Jews. Solomon was a prophet, but he was a great king. And we see that the Sahabah was very, very rich. We see that the Laird was very, very rich. But it is about the mindset. It is about what you understand, what you do when you have these things.

Speaker 3:

There are not enough people who want to have a big car, a big house. There are not enough money to pay a lot of money, but what does it get you? What do you get out of you? What are the qualities that come out of you? Are you even more humble? Do you help even more people? Do you look down on people or are you more grateful to others? Allah has given you the crown. Allah has given you the child. Allah has given you the good condition. Allah has given you the parents.

Speaker 3:

What do you think when you see someone who is not here? What is the reason for that? You have only one mother. You don't have any parents. You don't have any more siblings. Or do you think Allah is kind to you? Think about him and think about me, just as we see people who are sold in the finished land and there is war. What is it for? What do we think? Is our reaction? Are we happy or are we proud? So again, when Allah gives you, you should actually be more humble. If you do that, it is a sign that this good condition you have got. It has actually been good for you because it has brought you closer to Allah, and the same goes for when you don't have anything. What do you do then? Are you so grateful that you say Allah has given me this situation, or you are so humble and you do this? Allah knows my situation. He should change my situation so you come closer to Allah. But if you again behave in a way where you are unfaithful and grateful, you will also get away from Allah.

Speaker 1:

So we are just a little bit. Then we all go together Ramadan in the meeting. So if we use Ramadan as an example, what is the difference? A Ramadan goes against un-re and with-re.

Speaker 3:

Give an example of that. The correct intention when Ramadan comes, it should be that Allah gives us a blessing and we get to experience Ramadan. It should be that how can my child be blessed by Allah? That is the correct intention. And then there is another intention that is coming Ramadan Now I can not eat for open. I have to go to the fasting because all my family fasts Father, mother, wife and mother in the morning Bad eyes. I can not talk to the parents at work. I have to keep myself away. I do not have to listen to music, I do not have to watch a movie. That is another mindset, that is the two mindsets. That is where we are not lying. Most of them are also, but time should pass. But again, back to what is your intention, what is your mindset? And it is in the context of that you get a blessing and it is in the context of that you will be able to see a development in yourself.

Speaker 1:

Very, very nice. I think that it is the last thing before we go from bread, because when we go from bread we actually have the opportunity to test ourselves on whether we do something for our own sake, or our image, or see my showing off, or God's sake. So let's start with can you give us a way, a chance to how we can get out of here and test ourselves? Go to school, go to work, we have families, we go to sports, we go to mosques, we drink, we have to go to the party, we have to pay a zakat. There are many, many things that will happen in our terrible world in a moment. How can we take the test and how can we see it for ourselves? We should help to understand it.

Speaker 3:

A really good way to test yourself on that is there are always some people who you would like to. If you come to a place and say there are 10 people you know and 3 of them, they should not say they have no work, they have nothing to be sorry about, there are no people who are hanging out with you. It could be in school or in class always him who is with you. You know the sad idea, right? But is there one who would like to be with you? He would like to talk to you because he could have found something out and he would like to spend some time with you. But if you think I would like to be, I would like to be decent and I would like to do something for Allah's sake, but then talk to them which you normally do not want to talk to, which you cannot find out, which cannot give you anything, which cannot help you if you come into problems, which cannot lend you money if you need money, which cannot do anything for you. But you think, listen, this is my brother, this is my sister, this is my family member who does not have it so well. Everyone adores him, but I would like to be decent towards him. I would like to be good towards him. I would like to help him for Allah's sake and then not go and continue with it. It is one way to practice it. That is where you do not want to do something, do it there, do it towards them. That shows that you really do it for Allah's sake, and then do not blame it on anyone.

Speaker 3:

There comes our earlier lesson that this time the Muslims. It was unusual that if a man, he bathed at home, so it always came to us close to B and there comes in the children that many times when they came to the mosques they enjoyed their eyes, so people thought that they had just stood up, but then they found out that they had actually been up for several hours to get up. They just did not want to show people that they have been up for so many hours to read and hear, so they actually looked a little tired to scare their good deeds. That is to scare their good deeds. For example, there are many. Now I am not talking about harboring, but you hear the time when some people go there.

Speaker 3:

Then people come and tell you to listen to this person who has gone there and that he has supported me for 20 years. Every month he has given me some money so that I could get my things and my wealth to hang together and do some things that no other than Allah knows that you do. Do some good deeds that no other than Allah knows. That is why we all hear this, but we never think about it. This one with the gi, then you do with your right hand, so your left hand does not let you know. What does it mean? Does it mean that you do something without other people hearing it or seeing it, or are you telling others about?

Speaker 1:

it, mashallah, really, really nice. You see, with the example that you gave with satyr. Well, the gi, you give it with your right hand without your left hand noticing it, and I think it is very nice that we should learn to do things. So a such action will be unique for Allah's forgiveness, because it is not shared with anyone, it is not shown to anyone. When we, in our parents' home country, run into someone who does not have money, who may be rich or homeless or what, then we have the opportunity to help. Yes, but there will be a really good saying and not be a ria, if you give as a good heart for Allah's forgiveness, because Allah has given you and you do it without telling others and it is a bad example to be, of course, just to answer everyone who has seen that there will be a gift here. So, a lot of interest. And this is the last and the last environment In Ramadan, we go into a training session and we have this training session running over, because it can be on for 11 months, and then you have the opportunity to get up in Ramadan and if you haven't had too much space, too many victories, shadr has really been washing and you have listened to it and now you need to restart.

Speaker 1:

Start from the bottom. Who is in control here? Am I on Shadr's word or am I doing everything for something that is being sold? What could be the training session in Ramadan? And we can be happy. What can we do with the happiness? When someone gives us happiness, it can be happiness to face what it can be now, but we have a golden opportunity to do it. How can we take it?

Speaker 3:

There are several ways, but let's start with Ramadan. There are a lot of people who haven't found anything out of Ramadan because they think that they are starting, in fact, in this month. You need to start building a routine. In Shabbat, you need to start reciting your Korat. If you want to recite one or two days in Ramadan, forget it. You need to start doing it now. It is actually recommended now and start fasting in the weekends. Recite a little Korat every day. So the routine you want to have in Ramadan you should start, because in Ramadan, you have to give it maximum gas. If you don't prepare your work, start to do something. How do you plan your Ramadan? Like we talked about last time, planning All of this already now. You don't want to get it out of Ramadan. It actually starts already now. So, in relation to what you are asking about, you don't stand in a situation where you don't have time to do these things.

Speaker 3:

Our people, first time we come to Ramadan, just a week before Ramadan, they start asking questions what if I keep my face or use my face? All these practical things? It is the same question we ask every Ramadan. But get rid of these things and let's try to not turn your head up when Ramadan starts. But okay, now I start here. I have tried it here in 10 years, 15 years, 20 years. Now I start here. I have control over my rules. But I want to have a badat. I want to come closer to Allah in Ramadan month. In the question of how to take this pink, if some pinks are in Ramadan month or outside Ramadan month, there is no point in being pink. There is also positive pink.

Speaker 3:

When you come to Ahadith, you have to show your good deeds, that is, to do it for others. You can sit here and say we have a brother who has recited the Quran and he has fasted. What is the intention behind it? The intention is to hear it. They also want it. They think he has family and children and if he can, he can do it too.

Speaker 3:

If that is the intention, you can also tell about your life and where you say they can also use it. They can also find strength in your story. That is what they need to hear. Tell people that I went to school, that I have fasted. I have fasted for exams, we have been to school, for example. The young people who sit here, who go to school and go to university. They think if they could do it for 30 years in Denmark, then of course we can do it now. So share the good stories, even if it is about yourself, but have the right intention, and at the end it is only God who knows what the intention is. So share the good stories with the right mind.
