 Learnings from Videos

1. In this video It is told that a person should manage his/her life in a way that if
someone/something leave. His/her life does not depend on it. It should not affect his/her
lifestyle, business, organizations or relationships. A human is larger than life. IF someone
wants to leave let them leave. Don’t beg someone to stay. Be on your own. Life does not stop
for anyone and just like that you must keep up with life. As Allah said he will replace them
with good people.
2. This video suggest that we have defined our vision at micro level. Many of our excuses,
stress and pain are due to our small vision. Because our vision wants us to do something big
but we are stuck at low levels. We should respond to our vision and do something big and
with that we can achieve, which we never think of. The same situation was faced by Ashaab
but they responded with their vision and Allah said they achieved a great victory. The things
you are trying to achieve later they will come to your way, if you respond to your vision.
3. In order to achieve something big you have to do something big and avoid the things that are
making your goal harder to achieve. Then you will be able to achieve a level of excellence.
Imam Ahmad Bin Herb said: “I have spent 50 years praying to Allah but still I cannot
achieve the best state of Iman until I avoided 3 things, stopped pleasuring people so I can
always speak the truth, leaving bad communities in order to join good community of people
and removing the love for life in order to produce the love for the day of judgement”.
4. If you are losing everything in life but you have a strong hope you will succeed. If you have
everything [i.e., Job, business, relationships] in your life but you are hopeless/aimless you
will not succeed even if you win. As human we want perfection with no deficiency with no
fear of betrayal. But if we look around, there is nothing in this world which won’t break our
heart. Hazrat Bilal had nothing in his life but he had strong hope and faith in Allah and He
lived a life, a legacy.
5. We are always discussing things which are present only in this world. we don’t discuss the
things which are basic for life, which help us succeed in life and life after death, the things
which we need to learn. We should learn our religion and take advantage.
6. This Video tells us that there is a procedure to achieve things/goals. If it was so easy
everyone would have done it and everyone will be successful. So, stop complaining and start
doing it, start hustling, start working hard, and start following the procedures. If you really
want it go get it.
7. Many people say following religion in today’s world is very hard. But this is not the situation
Allah has made the religion easy. If you are not even trying you will find it difficult. But
once if you start following religion with heart you will find out how easy it is to follow
Islam.
8. In this video it told that Allah knew everything what will happen and when it will happen to
you. Allah Said he had already given us the guidance Now it depends on us to follow the
correct guidelines and hold tight to the rope of Allah.
9. If we are in a very bad situation, we have to change our selves we have to grow in order to
compete those crises. Learn to adjust and learn to grow because sometimes you can’t change
the situation you have to change yourself.
10. Stop blaming your vision on making mistakes. If your making same mistakes continually that
means your wrong. You have to learn from your mistakes. If you are making a mistake and
not learning from it that means it’s a choice.
11. In this video it is told that whether you have to fight the battle coming your way or to make
peace with it. You should not fight in every situation it may distract your vision.
12. Everyone makes mistakes. So if you make mistakes forgive yourself and try to learn from
your mistake.
13. The reason we don’t take initiative is that we are scared of people and their sayings. We
don’t know ourselves. We don’t know our potential. If we know ourselves, we should not
care about people sayings.
14. If you have goals if you have any ideas start working on them don’t procrastinate. Stop
laziness and start working. Because tomorrow will never come.
15. Things take time. You have to work hard; you have struggle for your reward. Work hard and
go through process.
16. If you want to do something big you have to be optimistic. You should do something you
want whether it flops or it work. If it flops you should have learned something from it. Take
initiative.
17. You are putting your best-efforts in something but it’s not working. Don’t give up. Never
live anyone else’s life.
18. When you succeed you stopped growing. You should not do that. Make your goals even
bigger after achieving them and work hard.
19. Best way to grow is to help others grow. But sometimes you to take people with you but they
just don’t care and due to their behavior, you stop growing and you get distracted from your
vision. You have to go ahead on your own.
