وعلى عاله الطيبين الطاهرين المأسومين المضلومين أبدأ في الله أصدقائه أصدقائه أصدقائه وعلى الله في سرط إسراب وإسرائيل وقد صرفنا للناس في هذا القرآن من كل مثل فأبا أكثر الناس إلا كفورة صدق الله ليلا ذيم سلوات الله محمد وآل محمد كل مهارات يتبقى في الله سبحانه وتعالى وقد أبدأ فيه أصدقائه لإمكاننا أن نسأل هذا الحياة وإعتقدنا أن نحاول أن نرده على هذه الأرض كما تفعل المساعدة وما تعلمين كما أكبرتنا سبحانه وتعالى لقد أخبرنا المساعدة ومساعدة لإنساء ومساعدة لإنساء ومساعدة ومساعدة لإنساء يعني أننا نستطيع أن نكون جدا نسألنا على فقط مرحباً سوف أتحدث عن هذه الأشياء عن المساعدة والإمامة وماذا تأتي إلى المساعدة وماذا أهم is the leadership خلافة وإنها أهمية ولكن لتفهم المساعدة عندما يقول أنا مدينة العلم وعالي بابها ومن أراد المدينة فليأتي هامم بابها لذا المساعدة قلت أنا مدينة المدينة وما أراد المدينة ومن أراد المدينة حتى تستطيع أن تجد هذا المدينة لذا عندما نتحدث عن إمام المساعدة ويتحدث عن أي إمام ركب أو إطلاق دعني أنفتر هذا هو ما هو المساعد لأنهم دائم لإمام المدينة ومساعدة عندما平تر ونحدث عن هذا ولكن سنرى في المقارات لدينا اشتراك وقام وبدأ بمساعدة قرارة 40 كانت بمساعدة قرارة 23 سنوات وقام بمساعدة 23-13 يعني كانت بمساعدة بمساعدة لذلك كانت 10 سنوات في مدينة في هذه 10 سنوات أكثر من half of that time كانت في مدينة بمدينة المساعدة من المساعدة تحاول الإسلام وإرادك لذلك المساعدة لقد كانت لديها قرارة وقام بمساعدة فيها لتحاول الإسلام وإرادك وإن تتحدث عن المدينة إلى المساعدة لكن المساعدة هي عصر ويوجد كثيرا المعرف لتحاول الإسلام لذلك اللعب المرسي يأتي إلى إمامات ويأتي إلى إفلق لأخر 255 سنوات بها أن أمامنا يأتي إلى المساعدة ويأتي إلى المساعدة إلى المساعدة لذلك عندما أقرأ إمامنا فلن يكون لديهم أكثر من المساعدة لكن لقد يأتي إلى المساعدة كما يوصول كما يفعلوا المساعدة لا أعلم إمام أليال إسلام يخبرنا في حديث في many ways يجب أن نجمع في القرآن والدينة الله أننا يجب أن ندلجناها ونسألها الأسئلة ونتحدث معنا هناك تجد أن الله يقول في إسراء ولقد صرفنا للناس في هذا القرآن من كل مثل الله يقول أننا لدينا إسراء للمنزل في هذا القرآن every kind of similitude يعني القرآن is a book that comes and teaches us the moral argument and it has shown us many diverse angles using analogies الله has used the analogy of a spider for example making a complicated house for itself what we call the spider web it is complicated yet it's very fragile and Allah describes the fragility of the disbeliever equivalent to the house of the spider you find the Quran uses the animals as examples uses the birds as examples and the Quran is filled with these kinds of similitudes so that we take lessons in a moral argument but tonight as I want to continue as I promised yesterday the continuity of suratul mulk surah number 67 and you'll see the spirit of this surah and for us to understand that while the Quran is a book of guidance it is also a book of dua it is a book of prayers because when we recite the surahs of the Quran it is also a prayer it is a means to the prayer and you find Allah teaches us how to pray even in the surah وقل ربي وقل هو الله أحد these are all prayers in the Quran but they are also instructions on what the principles of the deen of Allah are so Allah says that we have given mankind every kind of similitude but most men do not consent except by denying it meaning we challenge it and that's unfortunately the nature of humanity because we don't understand the purpose of life if we don't understand the purpose of life then we fill it in with our own ideologies and often our purposes are short lived and once we think short lived then our entire conclusion is going to be short lived and generally short lived or short term vision leads to wrong conclusions atheism is a good example if an atheist will tell you that there's too much injustice in the world there is, they're right there is injustice and they will say what kind of a God allows such injustice where children get killed and tyrants can rule upon innocent people and their argument is well why would such a God allow this now it makes sense in what they're saying if our existence is only on this earth meaning when we die and nothing else happens then what they're saying is totally logical and makes sense but if you extend the reality of time that we were not created for this world this world is a temporal place and that in fact our existence is for an eternal existence in another part of the universe then the conclusion changes so then my argument would be well this trial where there is injustice is caused by the very human being that has been granted free will and the fact that injustices do take place is proof that we have free will because there are people who ask about free will and predestination and they argue that do we really have free will since Allah already knows and many of us grapple with this idea how would we know maybe God has pre-programmed me to speak like this to ask whether I have free will but actually I don't have free will you know when people get into this trap and they cannot get out and the danger of assuming that there is no free will is that then when you commit a sin or a crime it's just not as bad as the person who does good which is not as good so people who do good are no different than the people who commit murder because it's all part of the plan it's like a movie you see we're all just actors and when you finish the movie the criminal in the movie doesn't get arrested he doesn't have any punitive measures it means they don't get punished because it was just a movie it was make-belief it was a play somebody wrote it and we acted it but Allah is showing us that evil exists and you are repulsed by it and you know that I am all good so that means the evil that is on this earth must be due to free will otherwise why would it happen so it's proof that free will is prevalent but Allah is also telling us that this evil that you are repulsed by can be stopped, mitigated, eradicated through your own transactions of good but tacit silence meaning when we acquiesce when we remain silent when people are committing crimes and doing wrong things and we don't say anything and we don't do anything then we are telling the evil door it's okay go keep doing it until they kill us and that's the problem in society today we tend to be silent when people are getting killed look what's happening in Gaza right now look what's happening in Yemen right now the majority of our world population is silent while populations are being annihilated even in the Rohingya Muslims who are being completely shifted you know the entire culture is being uprooted by the Burmese army you find that the world generally is silent no one is raising because whatever the master the superpower says it goes whatever the mass media says it goes you know some people are getting killed we don't care and then we are asking Allah why are these children getting killed Allah says what are you doing what have you done to stop it you know there are Irish people today going to supermarkets and refusing to buy Israeli products because they are saying they are killing Gazans and we don't want to eat their food now that's proactivity you know you've got the boycott diverse groups that is really hurting these evil forces that are unfairly encroaching on people's lands and destroying their homes that they are taking action but some of us are afraid oh what will the government do to us even in these centers you find for example that's because the government wants to come after these properties and claim that some you know person who has nothing to do with 9-11 has to now pay for everything about 9-11 and the very ones who did 9-11 18 out of 19 pilots from Saudi Arabia they are our biggest friends you know we sell them hundreds of billions of dollars worth of arms they are the ones who brought our buildings down they are the ones who are fomenting the most terrorism in the world and yet they are our biggest allies in the world this hypocrisy cannot be taught to our next generations for long and that silence leads to our own destruction Moawi was like that Moawi used to grab people and kill them at will because people were silent Imam Ali A.S. says to them where are you where Imam Hussein says you know هل من ناس where are you to stand up why don't you rise against tyranny people say no no no what will they say even in these organizations some people are afraid even to give one dollar donation because they are afraid the government will chase us so that fear now fear mongering becomes a methodology by which to dismantle our entire good movement because fear becomes the tactic of silencing people we are afraid what will happen there are a thousand ways to manage these kinds of problems and let's not succumb to the foolishness of people and the foolishness of people who want to silence hack from battle so when we see evil taking place in the world please understand it's prevalent because we are silent we are not doing our duty as much as we should and I point that figure the most to myself people say oh brother you might be arrested I said listen it's not that we want to get arrested we want to speak the truth we want to bring justice and harmony we're not bigots we're not against people of other religions we honor them we honor humanity if a jewish life is being taken unfairly then we must rise and fight for it if a muslim life is being taken if a hindu life is being taken it's got nothing to do with muslim versus non muslim it's got to do with equality for humanity but our silence leads to that destruction and the Quran is telling us that when you look at problems in society and you're cringing at the evils الله is talking to us and say ok what are you going to do الله says to yahya in the Quran yahya yahya خذ الكتابة بقوة o yahya take the law and move you have been endowed with enough power our imams the reason we revere them so much is because they rose against tyranny they were not afraid to speak when it was necessary sure they were silent at times but they were vigilant they were constantly penetrating you know when we bought the camp in michigan post 9 11 people say really you bought a muslim camp even isna which is the largest organization in america among the muslim population of the schools of they called me and said bravo how did you do this post 9 11 build a muslim camp I mean their idea for muslim camp is you're going to create terrorists and you're going to train children to be terrorists because that's what they want us to think so that we should not do anything positive we bought the camp in the heart of the christian community you see we're not afraid of them they're not bad people I told my neighbors I said if you were living in a muslim country right and we were always told that christians are terrorists sure if you bought a piece of land next to my house I'd be worried you've been misinformed and this is the nature of divide and conquer to make animosity between us and when we bought it we hired all the neighbors and said you're all working for us you are our employees you will work for us we give you this facility to use for free the school can use it for free because we are active and proactive citizens because that's the dean of Allah and I remember when I used to pay them on friday they said wow you pay us so quickly I said our prophet has told us pay the wages of a man before his sweat dries oh wow is that what your prophet says I said that's the that's the religion that god has given us and they go around telling everybody these are good people go work for them they'll pay you they won't cheat you so what I'm trying to say is Allah has said to us go empower yourself what has happened now in town all the neighbors are defending us anybody who's got bigotry in town the community goes against them and says no these are good people we've known them for 11 years they've been with us and we grow and we build foundations that way let us not be afraid of societies and if people are against us even on political grounds let's stand firm and tell them we are people of justice and if they kill us then let them kill us but we have to die anyway صلوات الله محمد و المحمد I'm simply saying my brothers and sisters some of us we act like ostriches you know the minute there's something slightly run away run away I'm afraid you know my comfort zones will be tempered with well then the devil says this is the person I'm gonna buy him for cheap this is what Qadi Sharedid when he did the same thing when Yazid went to him and said pass the fatwa then make it halal for me to kill Hussein Ibn Ali he says I can't he threw money at him added money added money and Muawiy used to laugh he said they are the Ahl al-Bayt the Banu Hashim they are working hard with logic and reason and I'm buying religion with money I'm buying it and today the destruction of Muawiyah's works is ISIS and Taliban and Al Qaeda they are causing all kinds of destruction in society and how many people's lives are being distracted and disrupted and going they're becoming refugees and death's left right and center and we're wondering like wow why is evil so prevalent this next generation is being told pray seek grace from God they say what grace we keep praying and more evil is coming yeah because we're not acting on our prayers Allah says لما تقولونه ما لا تفعلون كبرت مقطن إن الله ان تقولونه ما لا تفعلون الله says إنه يستطيع لك أنك تقول ما لا تفعلون دعونا إن شاء الله and you'll be surprised and we don't have to become presidents of countries and build armies none of that one on one be nice to people one on one no one made us prophets maybe I have this platform most of you don't you don't have to get on platforms and speak in front of the world you don't need to one on one that neighbor that friend that coworker be nice to them be gentle with them bring harmony don't condemn them don't condemn them you know respect their religion show that we are people of unity we are people of love and we do not like evil then our children will see wow I see the true meaning and the purpose of life when we understand the meaning and the purpose of life our lives become proactive in so many ways so let's focus on trying to understand that please let me continue with this as I mentioned yesterday Allah is talking about تبارك اللذي بيديه الملك بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم بلسد is he this is سوت الملك verse number 67 Allah starts by saying that he owns the universe he is the master تبارك اللذي بيديه الملك وهو على كل شيء قديد he created death and life to test which of us is best in deeds meaning the function and purpose in this world is for us to be morally upright not for any other reason but for us to earn our own dignity through free will such that when we do enter paradise we will have participated in it rather than have been taken there because when you are taken there without having earned it the value is low but when you and I struggle with it and Allah helps us to enter paradise then we feel a sense of gratitude and self worth increases الله is so merciful that after having created us he gave us free will and he considers our self worth so valuable he nurtures it he honors it he pushes us it's like the parent who says to the child go go run it's okay you'll do it you don't run for the child you make the child run but when the child succeeds the child feels empowered and the mother feels empowered and the father feels empowered I said wow that's my son that's my daughter that's what come multiply that infinite times is how Allah feels when you and I turn towards him in a positive way so Allah says He created death and life to test which of us is indeed Allah says about the universe He created them in seven layers ما ترا في خلق الرحمن من تفاوت you will not find any fissures in it no mistakes in the universe it's continuous even physicists who received the Nobel Prize concluded that the whole universe is made of star dust and we are all made of the same matter it's amazing that at the component level of compounds and molecules Allah has created such a dynamic fluid free falling system that forms into different bonds different shapes and objects appear and disappear Allah says look at my creation هذا خلق الله فعاروني ما ذا خلق الذين من دوني this is what God has created in Surat al-Aqman Allah says show us what anyone else has created then Allah says we adorn the lower heavens with lamps ولقد زينا السماء الدنيا بما صابيها وجعلناها رجوما للشياطي we adorned it and it's a canopy that protects you and that when meteors come in your direction of any form we strike them and destroy them so that you are safe then Allah says ولللدين كفرو now God immediately turns towards the rejecters look at how the Quran is constantly flowing from God creating the universe to death in life to the skies to the disbeliever notice it's shifting from one angle to another but it hasn't lost its connection what's the connection the authority of God what's the connection the mercy of God what's the connection the guidance of God what's the connection the purpose of life سبحان الله feel it ولللدين كفرو بربهم عذاب جهنم وبئصل مصير إذا ألق فيها السمع لها شهيقا وهي تفور تكاد تميز من الغير ولما ألق فيها فوج سألهم خزنتها ألم يأتيكم نذير قالوا بلا قد جاءنا نذير فكذبنا وقلنا ما نزل الله من شيء إن انتم اللي في ضلال كبير وقالوا لو كنا نسموع نعقل ما كنا في صحاب الساعة فاعترفوا بذنبهم فوصحقا في أصحاب الساعة مغنفساً ستحدث عن أخبار المصير من المصير who reject God will fully what transacts on the day of judgment I want to discuss this very briefly الله says for those who disbelieve in their Lord is the punishment of hell the evil that is their resort meaning they earned it when they shall be cast therein they shall hear a loud moaning of its heaves meaning the fire is noisy have you ever been in front of a very large fire it's very noisy it roars and in fact it distracts sound if you ever go into a bonfire and stand on the two sides of the fire the person speaking on the other side will not be able to hear you because the fire distracts sound too because it's moaning it's got noise سمعوا لها شهيقاً وهي تفور تكادوا تميزوا من الغيذ it's got this rage fire is raging الله is describing in graphic details for you know how to understand what is the function of how God decrees his ways now bear in mind who will enter hell watch watch what the Quran is saying I want to discuss this very briefly but it's amazing he says bursting for fury whenever a group is cast into it meaning groups are being thrown in it the keeper of hell shall ask them did you not get a warner didn't the warner come to you ألم يأتيكم نظير didn't the warner come to you I want you to ponder this for a moment because it's incredibly powerful this conversation is subhan Allah if you really ponder over it it's amazing I cannot go too deep into it but just as an example there shall say they shall say they shall say yeah indeed there came to us a warner but we rejected him and said that God has not revealed anything you're only in great error meaning these prophets claiming to get revelations they never got anything it's a lie فكذبنا وقلنا ما نزل الله من شيء إنانتم إلا فيه ضلال كبير وقالوا and then they will say had we but listened and pondered لو كنا نسمو أو ناقلوا had we listened or pondered if we would have just paid attention and not turned our ears off then we would not be among the inmates of this fire meaning the one who's entering fire is not blaming God that oh God you tricked me Shaytan tricked me you see they're saying if only we listened and paid attention just this verse alone should be the template of our lives لو كنا نسمو أو ناقلوا ما كنا فيه so Allah is saying I'm showing you if you listen and pay attention then you will not be the companion of the fire is what Allah is telling us amazing then Allah says He says so they shall acknowledge فعطرفوا بذنبهم they shall acknowledge their sins meaning those on judgment day who are going to be punished they will not blame Allah they will acknowledge I caused this it was my own hands that led me here that's ultimate justice فعطرفوا بذنبهم and God says but far will be forgiveness for the inmates of the burning fire because when they were warned they rejected rejected and the holy prophet has stated who will remain in hell forever the one who even after being removed from hell continues to reject Allah the one who's we call in English recalcitrant one who's contumatious in English one who rejects and fights authority الله سبحانه وتعالى says who will reject me the one وما يجهد بآياتنا إلا كل ختار كفور no one rejects the signs of God except one who is bent on rejecting ختار كفور now then Allah turns to the believers إن الذين يخشون ربهم بالغيب now before I go there quick introduction did you notice the angels are asking ألم يأتيكم نذير I want you to ponder for a moment think about this these are the same beings who were commanded to bow to Adam don't forget that and these are the same beings who asked Allah why should we bow to this creature who will reject you and cause bloodshed on earth so they already know so then why are they asking ألم يأتيكم نذير they already know they will reject so why are they asking one of the evidences of the Mufassireen and I've had long discussions about this verse with scholars great scholars on this matter is they say that the angels realize that Allah created mankind for paradise and that the majority of the human race will ultimately enter paradise because it's the Rahm of Allah ultimately now I also want to state paradise is not one place for everyone جنة has many levels the highest stages of jannah one of them is مقام محمود it's the place where the inhabitants where prophets and imams and the highest servants of Allah shall enter مقام محمود you and I should work hard to enter there you and I should live on this earth to hopefully make it among the صابقون الصابقون أولائك المقربون this should be our goal not to avoid hell our goal should be how can I enter the highest stations of paradise this is the real goal of this world brothers and sisters we do business like that we go to school like that we covet successes like that we don't look at failures as a means of our business we don't look at break-even businesses we don't barely try to cross the exam we look for how do I score an A plus that's success people who are successful don't want to go to some mediocre university they want to go to the finest university when they buy their homes they want to buy the finest homes when they want spouses they want the best spouses everything should be for the best so why for the hereafter many of us are talking about avoiding hell and we're stuck in that sure we should avoid hell did your own stupidity and ignorance but our conversation in lifestyles and our charity and our kindness and our struggles in this world should be built on reaching high stations and said how do I become the companion of the prophets and to be at the pool of kalther with ahl al bayt that's the key you and I should be talking about so the angels are stunned why are you here God is too merciful He sent 124,000 prophets He gave you the scriptures He has guided you in your soul in your spirit He is such a forgiver والله غفور الرحيم والله يحب التوابين God is too forgiving the angels are stunned you cannot get here you must have worked very hard to come here that's why the angels are asking ألم يأتيكم نظير now look this person doesn't say well you know I was lost I didn't know I was mustad'af my parents were atheists and I was sort of I went on the wayside I started drinking a little bit I didn't know if God existed every once in a while I did something wrong I brought an illegitimate child but you know he was hit or miss I gave a little charity one day and then the other day I got drunk he was known as once were lost they don't have direction Allah says there are three groups اهدين السراط المستخيم سراط الذين أنعمت عليهم غير المغضوب عليهم والله الضالين right? guide me on the right path among those who you have chosen not the ones who invoke the wrath of God this group here يأتيكم نظير these are that group who Allah calls مغضوب عليهم the ones who invoke the wrath of God those are a few but they are lethal they penetrate religions they write false stories they create fitna they create trouble they are not happy with progress they are working to destroy families and lives we know them and in history some were masters and there were such liars that they caused false religions to exist in the future and it caused destruction in societies those are the ones Allah is talking about that didn't it come and that's why Allah says who do I send to hell with the severest of punishment it's that one God forbid anyone of us is in that circle God forbid but let us not say let me do a little bit of Islam I'll go to hell for a short period of time I'll get out and then I'll go to paradise no even the lower paradise relatively to is a relative sense of hell because you missed it you had an opportunity you had an opportunity you had an opportunity you had an opportunity you love this world but love it for me love it for good not for evil because the hereafter is better for you and it's forever plan it now brothers and sisters let's not hold back and be stingy بخيل one who stingy and hordes money what will I do Allah says you don't believe in my security you lack my security so you think your money is going to secure you your children will secure you your material in your positions will secure you Allah says there is no security but Allah give it give it for Allah they love to give they were constantly giving there was never a fear of poverty but they gave the right amount not extreme amounts they were not مبذرين Allah says inna almubadirina كانوا اخوانا شاعتين كانوا شايتان وليربه كفورة مبذر is the one who excessively spends oh I just went out and bought a $5,000 handbag Louis Vuitton now why did you do that unless you've got a modus operandi by which that bag is going to bring you a lot more money as a business woman go for it but why did you spend that kind of money it's excessive some people live in opulence and extravagance that Allah abhorres إن المبذرين كانوا اخوانا شاعتين live rich live comfortably but don't be excessive Allah hates people who are excessive rather take care of the needy if you can eradicate poverty on earth and everybody's living middle class and upper middle class if you want to indulge go for it but some of us unfortunately are excessive spenders you look at the oil money in the middle east today they take $100 bills and they light cigarettes with it and I cringe at that and they have so much food that it's become vogue and style you touch a little bit of the food and then trash the rest of it I've seen it with my own eyes with that opulence and I remember this ayah I feel like that so Quran has gone in that direction now let me quickly close to God quickly shifts to the one who is a believer the one who worships Allah in the dark of the night the one who worships Allah in hiding not the one who wants to show off no Allah says the one who worships me in hiding Allah says those who fear their Lord in secret they shall surely have forgiveness and a great reward and whether you conceal your words or you reveal it he is aware of it what is this verse God is establishing his decree you can hide it you can show it I know it and God says his authority and he is the Nord of the subtlety he is the aware look how merciful God is now he shifts and says I made this earth for you walk it I made it subservient go take the fruits eat it it's yours I made it Halal for you Allah says look how merciful Allah is look how he consoles me he starts by his authority tells me about life and death talks about the universe goes to hell and talks about hell talks about the believers comes back and tells me I made this earth for you go walk on it and take it because he sustenance to him until you return to Allah so Allah is telling me the purpose of life and what should I do on this earth then Allah says will you feel secure that the heavens should not make the earth to swallow you up Allah says I hold the forces the earth can easily be swallowed and things can fall on your head just an earthquake I was in the Philippines and I felt the earthquake I was on the top floor of the hotel and the entire building was moving 4-5 feet on one side to the other I tell you the most precarious feeling you'll ever have you have no idea what to do do I get my passport do I go to the elevator do I go down the stairs or do I just wait here for me to fall it is the most uncomfortable feeling you will ever go through and I swear at that moment you think of nothing but Allah he said I don't know if I will survive this Allah says that's the key إِنَّا لِلَّا وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَجِونَ you want to understand the essence of life the foundation of strength to do Allah's work إِنَّا لِلَّا وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَجِونَ Allah says فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَا نَذِيرَ are you secure of those in the heaven that he should not send out upon you a punishment Allah is merciful he holds punishment he said but you shall know it was my warning and suddenly those who preceded you they rejected what will happen to them all these thoughts should be part of our thinking equation when we are reading this surah in the morning or in the afternoon and reflecting the purpose of life and putting yourself in the right position because God is showing you everything at one time it's a three dimensional expression that's what Allah says we have given you similitudes أولام يروا إلى الطيلي فوقهم صاف فاتن ويقبذن ما يمسكون إلا الرحمن إنه بكل شيء بصير هل ترى كيف يفتح بها لديها قراءة ماذا تعتقد أنها تفتح today our planes that take off and land and they are so majestic and millions of people are traveling at high speeds 500-600 miles an hour we learnt that from the birds when I was in Africa I watched the pelicans landing you know in Kenya and I was watching them I felt like an inverted 747 because pelicans the bottom of their beak is bulged and they are coming down and they are gracefully just landing and I'm thinking wow that's a 747 landing Allah says that's been there before the 747 I put that there so you learn and I watch them when they take off they run, run and then they take off that's how I watch aircrafts take off at the airport I said exactly Allah says how much we have given you as a sign إنه في ذلك العيات لقومي يؤمنون لقومي يتفكرون انظروا how merciful I am that I gave you all these capacities which you can use now to engineer comfort for yourselves but Allah says قليلا ما تشكرون I end with this because my time is up أمن هاذا الذي هو جندو لكم ينصركم من دون الرحمن إلا في غرور Who is it that we are host to you to assist you besides the beneficent Allah Allah is reminding me once again Don't lean on anyone but me Don't lean on anyone but me The disbelievers are nothing but a deception They pretend to be your friends They pretend to give you security Allah says don't be fooled by the security There is no security with them Allah says إن ينصركم الله فلا غالب لكم وإن يخضلكم فمن ذا الذي ينصركم من بعد When God helps you no one can defeat you And if he doesn't help you then who is there to help you And Allah سبحانه وتعالى continues Who will give you sustenance If he should withhold his sustenance أمن هاذا الذي يرزقكم إن أمسك رزقة بلجو في أو توين ونفور فمن يمشي مكبن على وجهه أهدا أمن يمشي صويا على سراته مستقيم Can you compare the one whose face is on the ground meaning a worldly person like Donald Trump أف من يمشي مكبن على وجهه A man who only chooses people who are loyal to him And it's all about his money and how powerful and how many women he can play with أف من يمشي مكبن على وجهه أهدا أمن يمشي صويا The one who is upright, the prophets and the people of the house those thieves who are not material they are here for the good of humanity they sacrifice themselves Brothers and sisters imagine these two dichotomies and you look at the two أف من كان مؤمن كما كان فاصقا لا يستون Imagine this, put yourself in this position You go and see these leaders how people revere them and respect them and they stand up when they walk Allah says أف من يمشي مكبن We should teach our children this son, daughter understand, respect people who are moral who are truthful, who are honest And don't take advice from liars and thieves and selfish arrogant individuals Don't follow them, ignore them They are an anathema They are a curse to society It's the leaders that God has set And among the non-profits there are human beings on this earth who are fantastic role models within Islam and outside of Islam I have seen even atheists some of them have some of the best أخلاق monitor that and say That's the good quality I like That's the good quality, that's the bad quality That's the foundation of the Quran and that's the foundation of morality Insha'Allah we'll continue discussing this السلام عليكم جميعا ورحمة الله وبركاته

Let's get straight into the video So today I'm going to be talking about how I take lecture notes at university now taking lecture notes at University is probably one of the core skills that you need to succeed and to get through university It's something that's really important and it always takes freshers like a year Maybe two years to figure out what their style is what works best for them And so everything that I talk about in this video is what works best for me and it's what my advice is But obviously everyone is different and people learn in different ways So I would highly recommend trying out different styles if one isn't working for you and sticking with the one that works best So basically when it comes to taking lectures Lecture when it comes to taking lecture notes There's two ways that you can do it So the first way is that you have your computer sitting on your lap and you were just typing away like lightning speed trying to catch Everything that the profit saying or you have a pen and paper or an iPad with an Apple pencil And you're taking notes as you go along as well So I'm gonna split this video into typing on a keyboard and making handwritten notes whether that's on an electronic iPad or on a pen and paper and I'm gonna tell you guys why I think using an iPad is the best way to combine the two different ways of taking notes And that's personally what I use on a day-to-day basis now I'm someone who really values efficiency everything that I do in my life I try extremely hard to make sure I'm minimizing the time. I'm spending doing things in between I'm trying to maximize the value of my time in whatever it is I'm doing and that certainly applies to lectures as well And that's gonna come into my reasoning for why I think typing versus lecture notes should be done in different situations So let's move over to my desk so I can explain this a little bit further alright guys So like I said before when you're taking lecture notes, you're either gonna be typing or you're gonna be handwriting So let's start off with typing so if you're typing you're gonna be on a laptop probably using a keyboard And this is how I like to think about it when you're in lecture and you're taking notes If your lecture is being recorded so that you can view it later online And you can go through the lecture as many times as you possibly want you can pause you can play You can think about what is being said then you want to go into handwritten notes And I'll explain why that is later if your lecture is not recorded And once you attend the lecture, that's the only time you're ever gonna hear that information So you can only get one chance to note down all that info then you're gonna want to go with typing And I'll explain my reasoning for all of this. Let me write here. No recording And here we have whoops, sorry This should go here. No recording and here we have Recording This is low-key also an advertisement for how cool the iPad is just getting obviously not sponsored by Apple If you are in lecture, okay, and that's the only time you can get the information This is when you're gonna be one of the If you're in lecture, and this is the only time you're gonna get that information This is when you're gonna be typing as fast as you possibly can You're gonna want to take all the information that the lecturer gives you because once he says it It's gone. What I like to do is take down all the information so that later on when I'm reviewing my lecture notes I can decide what I think is important and what I don't think is important Obviously as you attend university you very quickly learn to phase out and cut out any stuff that is not relevant to the test That's not relevant to the material and you obviously don't write that down But anything that's relating to the lecture slides I would always personally write that down in full then later on when I'm reviewing those lectures and those lecture slides I can take the information that I think is most important and make a second set of more condensed notes Let's talk about the pros of typing on a keyboard first of all you get all the information written down Second of all you have everything quite neat if your handwriting isn't too good Probably like myself maybe using a keyboard is better for you But I personally prefer handwriting for a lot of other reasons that I'm gonna say now people do have an argument for Handwriting notes during the lecture and they say well look I only write down the most important things I only write down the key facts and there is an argument for that But for someone like me I'm always in fear of missing small pieces of information I'm in fear of not getting to write down everything that I want And the truth is when your handwriting notes in a lecture you simply don't have time the lecture is speaking so fast There's a wealth of information to go through and you need to get all that down onto papers that you can review it later So that's why I really really prefer typing if the lecture is not recorded Which is usually the case in the United States and in Canada in the UK I know a lot of universities record their lectures. Hallelujah. Thank you so much. That's what I currently do And that's why I use an iPad But the disadvantages to typing is that you don't really pay attention So handwritten notes I would highly recommend if you can pause the recording if you can play back the recording and the reason that I highly Recommend it for that is because you can actually take the time to listen and understand what is being said in the lecture If there's no recording and you're struggling to write down everything that you possibly can a you simply don't have time No one can write that fast and be you're just not gonna understand the info because you're also focusing on writing Now the main key advantage to handwriting your lecture notes is that in addition to listening and thinking about and processing that information You're also using a motor skill You are physically moving your hand across the paper or on a sheet of glass if you're on an iPad And that's really going to help you memorize and learn things better. So the advantages of handwritten notes better Understanding and info retention Okay, now the cons of handwriting is that obviously it takes so much time and If the lecture is speaking really fast, obviously, you're not going to get everything that they said But in the scenario where the lecture is recorded and you can review it as many times as possible Then handwriting is the best way to take what is being said in the video and on the slides into a note form That's easy for you to learn about and memorize later. Let's get some of this nice coffee in So if the lecture is recorded like most medical schools in the UK I would highly highly recommend switching from typing notes to handwritten notes It really makes you think about what you're writing down It makes you take a second look and a second think about the information that you're going through now Let me show you guys the process of me actually taking lecture notes So the first thing that I would do is go to the university website and download the relevant lecture slides for that lecture So let's say we're studying the pharmacology of angina Just click on there and once you open the lecture on your iPad in Safari It's really easy to download it and import it into your note taking app of choice for me personally That is notability. So I would say copy to notability. It instantly opens so easy and I would put this in cardiovascular disease Import so I've already done this before but this is just show you the import process now What I do is I go to my cardiovascular disease You can see here that I have everything very neatly organized have my human development Course module and then within it endocrinology fertility pregnancy and each one has the lectures over here And if you click on the lectures This is an example of my handwritten notes that I've scanned onto my iPad now And I scanned it so I can have everything in one easy place and it's just easily accessible So back to cardiovascular disease and the pharmacology of angina So if we go here to cardiovascular disease scroll down to pharmacology of angina This is what I will usually do so when I'm actually taking the lecture notes I have the lecture slides and the recording of the lecture on my computer I listen to it and for each lecture slide that we have I put a title in blue So that sort of helps me orient You know what it is that we're about to talk about in the next paragraph And then I write down as you can see over here all the things that I think are most important I only write down what's important, but I like to be complete I like to have a full set of notes here And the reason for that is this one page over here that you can see I also have some pictures added to as well This has everything that was discussed in that lecture that is important to me So I have beta blockers calcium channel blockers evaporidine Ranolazine all of these meds and the appropriate information for them when it comes to preparing for the exam I don't need all of this information But it's extremely useful to have to refer back to and for me having the entire lecture on one piece of paper makes That's super easy and convenient I have the full lecture worth of information over here on this one page as you can see and then If you go further down beneath that I have the notes that I would use to actually study for the exam So this all here written in orange is a very condensed version of the full lecture notes that I took here So if I'm quickly trying to review this lecture in order to prepare for the exam I would only read this small amount of information here And this is the important clinical most high yield information that will come up on my test But if I don't understand something or I need a little bit more context All I have to do is scroll up and I can see all that information over here So that's the use for me of having written down every single piece of information That is important when going through the lectures for the first time now what I can also do isn't using notability I can open on the left here, and I can click on the corresponding lecture, which I can't really see right now But let's just use another lecture for instance whoops So I can open the lecture notes on the right hand side and I can open the lecture slides on the left And you can do something like this. This is super super useful So let's say that I want to review or add notes to this and take a look at the lecture side a second time I can just write over here You know I can take a look on the left on my lecture slides on my notes here I can even look at them there, but I can look at the lecture slides and I can write their important information here on the right So it's really easy to have multitasking on the new iPads It's really easy to look at the lecture slides on the left right notes on the right This is basically a perfect piece of technology for taking lecture notes I think the iPad is a fantastic piece of technology. Let me show you what my first year lecture notes look like This is one year worth of notes for King's first year medical school I mean, I can't show you that well like this, you know, and let me use my my phone to show you This is it. This is a huge. I mean, I can't describe how many papers are in here How many lecture notes this is super heavy obviously non-practical and I hand wrote everything I really took a lot of time a lot of effort to hand write these notes If I want to find a specific lecture right now from my first year how in the world am I supposed to find it in here? I mean, this is just a lost cause look all of my second year and first year lecture notes combined It's in this tiny little light thing, which is like perfect for use for studying. Alright guys And I think that's it for me. I'm gonna call this video here I hope this video gives you a better idea of how I take my lecture notes and can help you decide whether you want to Hand write or type of your lecture notes when you're at university Thank you for taking the time to watch if you want to see more videos from me If you'll be to subscribe to my channel and like this video share it with your friends If you think that they might find it useful as well. I'll see you guys in the next video. Peace


Hello everyone, my name is Mina Takla and I'm the co-founder of Tagridet. The thought behind our initiative was very simple. What good is the internet to the Arab world if the content remains inaccessible to the majority of people in their own native language? We are really impressed by the great power of social media and the ability to create stories through creation platforms such as StoryFi and that was really the inspiration behind Tagridet. The Arabic-speaking population today is 5-6% of the world's total population. But it's not just the greatest growing segment in terms of internet penetration and usage but also there is a great need to be part of a wider global community. With all these figures, Arabic digital content still remains only 2-3% of the global internet content. So we really need to change that. So how can we establish important and real dialogue between ourselves and the greater wider community out there in the world? Especially when the content is still rare, when it comes to credible content, thoughtful content and accessible content in Arabic language to the users. So we feel that by bridging that Arabic digital content gap and by removing this important language barrier we can greatly help extend the opportunity to the Arabic speakers to participate in a much wider global dialogue.


Thank you so much. I love you guys so much. I wonder where I'm going to start because it has been such a beautiful journey. It has been such a tough journey. But all the same year here and I only have God to say thank you to. So I stand here alone right now and you're seeing me alone on this stage. But as you've seen there's an army behind me. I don't come alone. I come as a package with people who are right behind me. People who support me unapologetically.  And you are also part of that team. Thank you so much for honoring this invite to come here on a Wednesday evening to celebrate a new birth, a new journey for Flair, a brand that I love so so much. After Ivana my daughter who's here tonight. Ivana, how are you mommy? Okay mommy. Flair was the next thing I gave birth to or a birth. A brand that I really have given so much passion, so much energy to and I continue to do that and that's why we're here today. So behind me is a lot of people. A lot of people who always believe in my dreams and a lot of people who have always wanted to support what Betty is up to. And today I just want to first also just say thank you to my family. They came here and the beautiful words, dad, mom, glory and mercy. The beautiful words that you guys spoke about me were just a blessing and for sure I no believe that Flair by Betty is blessed from today because I believe that family is everything. I want to say thank you to all my friends who are here who just left everything that they were doing and decided to come here and just celebrate with us. I see you and I appreciate all of you. Thank you so so much. Give yourself a round of applause please. Thank you. I'd like to say thank you to a lot of people but before I go into the details of some very very special people I want to say thank you today. I just want to say something about my entrepreneurship journey. Jalango asked me earlier why are you moving location? This is the third time you're actually moving location and I said you know what my dream the energy I have for my clients is to always deliver nothing but excellence. I always believe in excellence and that's why if it takes another location to be excellent we will go for it unapologetically again. And so this new location was birthed from a very tough time like my manager said. It was birthed at a time whereby a lot of businesses you know were going through a lot and still are. Businesses have been tough and any entrepreneur here today you know for a fact that things are not okay. Am I right to any entrepreneur here?  I have a brain that God gave me. How can I resuscitate? How can I breathe a new life into this brand that I truly truly love? How will I make clients to come back? How will I make clients to stay even longer? How will I make new clients to come and taste our services? And that's why me and my team I did not do it alone. I have a beautiful beautiful team came together and said wait a minute what is it that is wrong? Why are we not making the money that we want to make? What are the mistakes we are making? Why are we not getting there? Yes we're okay we're doing okay but okay is not good enough for me and for the any brand that I create it has to be excellent. And therefore we sat down and said okay fine what is wrong with this location? What is not working about this location? The previous location that is you know a lot of you have been there and one of the issues was that a simple thing as parking you know my clients are big deals and but we respect everybody but you know they come there with their pushers many many rejovers there and they can't find parking. So you ask them oh by the same park up to easy to see if it's okay somebody telling somebody to park their range or any other car outside is a problem on the street and so I just decided okay that is one issue. Another issue is that power blackouts I'm an Indian entrepreneur those are small things to other people but things like that can change a lot about a business and how you run a business. And I was like constant power blackouts this generator keeps failing I'm like okay now what? So there are a lot of things that I figured I'm like this is not this is not it and even the look the previous location and it's so it's so interesting how life works because in 2020 doing the pandemic I saw that location and I was like where? I went and told my people and I was so excited and we created Flair back then but then now I'm just like actually I want a swanky place I want an instagramable place because the other place was quite old but I love the other place by the way it is just a three years and I was like you know what there's something different I want you to just do or change about Flair and I was like I want a little spank a lot of color I don't want the wooden feel of it because it's a very old house I want to breathe in a fresh look for my clients to come there and enjoy and I promise you when we go upstairs with a big reveal you will see exactly what I'm talking about and I think this is just an encouragement to any entrepreneur here tonight. I want to tell you something sometimes you feel like it business and it happens to all of us you get discouraged all the time but the answer is the solution is take a step back we need to take steps back we need to lock out the noise and figure out what is it that I can make better what is it that I can look better to make sure that we stay afloat everything needs a comeback talk about relationships talk about friendships and now talk about businesses every situation is worth a comeback and I just want to tell you guys don't fear comebacks don't fear starting afresh do not fear what is it that you can get um you know knock on the door get a note you see that's it but you know let's keep going for our dreams let's not get a hiccup and then we say like well I mean did your true business say easy work but let's keep trying let's keep going let's think we need to think we need to ask ourselves we need to ask people around us wait a minute what do you think about my business when you see it as an audience as a as a person from the outside and then take that and actually try to improve and so it's a it's a challenge to all of us I'm here to talk about comeback power let's have that comeback power in all of us in everything that we do including including our friendships our relationships our marriages and our businesses let's have comeback power let's not believe in being knocked out let's continue going and so with that there's about three or four brands that I want to truly appreciate today and I really need your attention for this because as I said when I started I have a big team behind me I have an army I'm here alone but I'm representing dreams I'm representing brands of so many business people but so many people and I just want to say thank you to them I want to start saying thank you to one time interiors one time interiors I don't know where to start and Anthony if you're here please just stand up let's just see you Anthony there you go

You don't ever include me in your hobbies I actually want to talk to you about that. You don't but you don't ever do that. I think about all the time Well, because I feel like my hobbies anytime I say like oh, let's do like no Because it's watching shows and I have no attention span, but if it's something else Yeah, like maybe we could play pickleball together. Yeah, I would do that. You play pickleball Yeah, I play pickleball I would play it I have a friend here who plays pickleball. She invites me, but I'll do your hobbies too. You just don't invite me I'm gonna start inviting you guys. Okay. Hey, Dominique. This is Dom's treatment in balance I know that's funny. Um, so we both got our matching Leggings and we changed into them and we're matching but my leggings have a hole in them And I found out when I got to the wall My humiliating so I'm happy for you But she spilled something on her shirt and then she tried to flap the parking lot But now that yeah guys we got like really got a lot of stuff from here We're now is a good time to remind everyone to buy Dallas live show tickets November 11th at the factory Yeah, you gotta come Dom's doing stand up.

I just dress for me. Yeah, it's a really beautiful development We've been able to see and also don't do that Don't dress for the guy you like because yeah reality is men don't care about fashion.  Um, but also more importantly you need to be comfortable and happy in what you wear Yes, I'm glad that you really brought that and also like you can manipulate them another way. Okay. Yeah, I agree Okay, we did a lot of damage. I'm out of breath from actually now that I'm like filming it It really doesn't even look like as much as it felt when we were carrying it. It's am I forgetting about Last time with you Yeah, she's also got another she's got two more bags.

I'll like everything They're cute at the bottom. Um, okay But I really did not know this. I guess I just really haven't been tapped in with outdoor voices I didn't know they extended their sizes. So I saw they went up to 3x. It might even be more, which is incredible Um, but I got one of their I've always wanted one of their exercise dresses now. They finally have my says So it's also really cute. It's super cute.  You can put these over any sneaker Um, and it makes them like a chunkier sole. So if you have like nikes, uh, soloments Adidas like any like cool really sick like sneaker you own and boob you can put these over and it makes them like A chunkier shoe, which chunky shoes look best on hold on do what I gotta observe voices so we can stay on the same store Dom just was um, I got ahead of myself. She was just taking over the channel So we both got these leggings that we're both wearing now I got this like I normally not like a collared shirt kind of girl like with like this It's so cute. I got like collared on like poplin tops But whatever but I got it like smaller and then I'm gonna wear my morning box the vest over I even have a pink vest Like a really cute pink vest that I could wear love this the ghani vest I'm in love with it, but it's $500 and I don't know if I'm that in love with it. You know what I mean? Yeah, um, also my h&m vest that I wear all the time was literally $40, but that the thing about the ghani one one I'm sure it's Made ethically better to I will like keep up for the rest of my life. Yeah, and it's such a classic. It's really cool I feel like ghani just it's so cool. Yeah, I don't think they necessarily come out with new Like a lot of new but the stuff that they like right now. It's really good. It's just like you want it forever like those When we went to palm springs and I got those chelsea boots. They're not chelsea boots. I don't know how to describe Yeah, I don't know how to be there. Anyway, so like these the chunky boots that they were in the stagecoach vlog Like they've had those for years and years now Yeah, thank you I got this and like an extra small only because that's the only size that they had And then I got this in a small so it'd be like a little bit like tighter fitted with jeans like under like a sweater or something And then I got my leggings in the medium this top I got in a small And this top just like matches the leggings really well. I'm gonna wear this Like over a sports bra to pilates I like need leggings all of my stuff that I'm working that I've been working out with in the past like Six months are shorts and like suddenly my leggings are just gone Um, I got these pants, which I wish they were solid color because I don't like love this stuff as much But they are the softest thing. They feel so good. They have to be like incredibly flat All right, I'm gonna try them on but like they feel So good again for my morning walks I gotta get back on my morning walks because I miss them. Um, yeah, that's what I got I didn't get anything out of this time because I already bought um three things from us and the worker I recognize me. I'm down being there. So that's embarrassing. Moving on to Maurizia Sunday's best It's just really been killing it lately. Um, I'm pretty sure everything I got from Sunday's best But starting with this skirt, it's this really cute black mini skirt Which you guys I cannot even begin to explain how long I've been searching for A skirt just like this because I don't want it to be super fitting You know, like I don't want those every tube skirt that everyone was wearing in like 2010 Like those need to be put to rest. Okay But this this is what I'm looking for the girl who was helping me was amazing She started pulling all this stuff and there's this cute little like black hoodie And it's so cute and my favorite part is the arms because it has this little Hole like arm hole both of these are actually an extra large and they're super stretchy. So and that looks like a top On yeah, it's not like it could be like a hoodie or a top. It zips all the way down Zip up this black. It's kind of hard to see but it like buttons down It could be a cardigan, but I actually am thinking of wearing it as a shirt I didn't even think was my fate. This is you're not wearing all black. So it's all one. Yeah and um Really really cute. That's cute black knitted cardigan. It's freaking adorable Love it so much. The buttons are brown and it's cropped So it just looks amazing. So Maurizia Um last night we were looking for skirts on my closet and I had none and I just made like a normal like structured ball skirt that I could wear with like sweaters and my cat moving Do you know what I mean? so I got This one and then I got the exact same one in black and I got them. They're both in a size six, but They're like a little bit tight Did I tell you my latest about this? No, I have a butt now. Wait cute. I know it's new. It's new It's very new. It's very new. Yeah, so I just think that you know This is a little bit hard to fit the skirt on. No first time it's ever happened to me Someone who has a butt and it really just takes over life. Like but it's such a special thing It's such a fun thing to have it is So anyways, I will say like I considered sizing up But honestly, I was just like too lazy to like ask for another size And I feel like it'll like stretch out a little bit and it does fit like But it was like a little bit tight.  Oh, okay So if y'all watch the new york vlog when I went to ritzia the first time I like 10 times like the amount of I don't know ritzia is actually very nice. Are these pants? Yes, and no, that's 50 bucks So I have these in light pink because I have two matching pink tops. Why didn't I see these? I don't know They're only like 48 dollars. That's really impressive. I think kidding me They're so cute and I have the matching top anyways and like a long sleeve So it's just like the cutest thing ever I wore the pink I've worn the pink set like already twice Yeah, I know so I got those and then I also got these just as lounge because they're so soft feel them They feel like ever day pajamas almost like insane. They're both are free. I got them in a small They were 68 dollars, but like so soft and I will live in them I really care the most about my loungewear because that's what I wear the most and I prefer to not leave my house Except for I have a little cute outfit. So I need to leave a house for nervous with that Because all you little coquette girlies have sold out leg warmers everywhere I got these socks because they like bunch up and then I think I'm just gonna cut off the bottom So I can make these leg warmers But like enough is enough like it's my turn to be cute as well I got this vest from freebo. That's like really big But oh I'm gonna fall make sure this It's not like too big right like it's supposed to be like I feel like it's like it's fine This leggings long sleeve hair slip back hoops and hokas and thick socks on my morning walks It's cute.   So that was really embarrassing Awesome, which means that I found that look a year ago.  Love that for me I obviously had to get some bath and body work Candles I got the hot cocoa and cream just because it was there. It's kind of like really strong I was gonna put in a bathroom or something or maybe like my closet room Who knows and then my comfort candle as many of you know if you're not new Um would be Marco fireside and I used to have this burning in my house in LA like almost year round This is a volcano just because this is the candle that I always had burning in my house at home Like obviously during the holidays times, but it's my favorite candle and it just brings really good vibes. Happy men's. Happy men's We just It makes me we're not happy memories something about what goes comforting. It makes me think about You oh, but did they rebrand? Yeah, so that's the issue like I already have one here That's almost out and like I like this better. I normally like take off the stickers. I was lazy I'll take off those stickers though guys. This is like the most important thing that I got If you live in LA then you freaking know how much of a struggle it is to Just acquire anything diesel because I feel like it's such a hot brand right now and So if you need anything go to north brick ball at 10 a.m Right when it opens literally because I was so like Like I I look like I saw a ghost. I was so shut That's good of that Like I don't even want to I think you did that sound as you brought this out. It's giving me um Incredibles vibes. That's real. I don't want to like take all this stuff off of it But it's really cute like you can see that it's so cute So it also comes with a longer strap as well because This strap isn't super big like I could wear it on my shoulder, but not really like I don't know it kind of would like fall off. You know, it's pretty like this bag has been so hard to get It comes in multiple colors black red red and white and then later this season I know they're dropping more colors. This strap is just like this black leather strap Sorry, I guess I should take all the plastic off to really show you guys the full I like left it all at the mall today like more park I gave them my best getting a new bag is the best feeling in the world Like it's just so exciting something about a bag just like feels like home I don't know how to describe how excited I am.  I really do Also, the price point of this bag if you want something that's like maybe more like name brand But it's just like different and not like in the cycle Diesel is great. Sorry It's literally the sickest bag ever. It has a big D on it. It probably looks like it's a dorm Oh, that's cute. And yeah, it has a strap and it's adjustable. It can go longer I'm definitely going to this is going to be like its own fashion moment Really excited about this bag Um diesels just made a really huge comeback this year. Like even the diesel buckles are really cool They didn't have any in store, but if they have that cut the cameras, um, but Yes, it's really cute. And I think it was I think with tasks it came out to like 5 30, which is for you know, like A designer bag pretty decent. Have you ever filmed like a sit-down hall before? No, we should have made this a bigger deal. Yeah, I guess we could have Dom's losing her virginity I know to having like an actual like youtube sit-down hall.  Yeah. Did you guys not want to actually? I guess we have done a youtube haul It would be like forever 21 like whatever we could afford Guys dom had a youtube channel when she was younger and we would have been like Well, we have like mutual internet friends. Mm-hmm. That's how like I was like Yeah, like 7 16 17 when I you were doing the same thing like mighty chocolate. I was doing I was like, hey guys With my best friend we like had a channel together and then she took over the channel because I was like where's the channel now The channel is it's off I went on facebook and I found one of our old thumbnails and it was like eyebrow routine And we did like an honestosya dip brow like vicky vicky like caterpillar brow freaking. Yeah, and I was like To my subscribers, I'm sorry I'm sorry for just yeah Go your own way sometimes. Yes. Sometimes you just have to make your own decisions But also for the time we were really doing something that was that was it at the time I got this pink puffer That is so cute like obviously it's so me My entire instagram this season is going to be my outfits for my morning walk in pilates And then oh I also got guys I just like think that these don't work They're crease free clips where you like pin your hair back when you're doing your hair and it's supposed to not leave creases You know, I think I'm willing to try it out. You got these from urban.  Yeah, I spend an extra hundred dollars. Oh my god I also got this crew. That's a bud wiser crew. I just thought it was cute It's cute going into large when I feel like I'm not gonna love the size But whatever it was cool. I like the horses on it. I love bud wiser and I love horses Little Clydesdale horse love. So I think that's it That is it for today's haul Um, I'm so sorry if you guys didn't if you were expecting more energy with this haul But you have to understand that we're just really booked and busy guys And we're trying our best and we had to fit in like one of our fall days Which if you guys watched the vlogs in like 2020 even last year this we just Like our it's like it was honestly was such a prize Even when it was such a flow point in time, this is how I found our joint like guys This is genuinely it's it is like if I was literally going through like the lowest point of my life like I would genuinely Buy a plane ticket to texas Go to north park mall And as long as I went to bath and body works in anthropology, but the anthro at highland park village Yes, I'm not kidding and get a Starbucks drink like it like it would give me like new hope in life Yeah, and then you leave and you still feel better. And then the next day, you know, I think stuff you got There's like that like little glimmer.  No, it was just it was just like going there Yeah, it was like the routine of it but whatever it was so it was just like waking up and knowing that there was like purpose Yeah, that was our purpose.
