Can you hear me? Ok ok, good to be here again. And this is the second session on the five pillars of Islam. If you recall, the last session that I did, I covered two pillars, faith and सलाद, which is prayer. And today I'll be covering the remaining three pillars, ज़कात, हज and रमादान. ☆
2. 0:35 Since ramadan is around the corner, so I will take ramadan, I'll change the order instead of zakat, ramadan and hajj. I'll first do zakat and hajj and then ramadan. Now, also if you recall, I emphasized in the last session that, you know, every, pillar has a ritualistic aspect and the spirit aspect. I emphasize a lot more on the, spirit, spiritual and the intellectual aspect, of the pillars. Since रमादान is around the corner, so I will take रमादान, I'll change the order instead of ज़कात, रमादान and हज. I'll first do ज़क़ात and हज and then रमादान. Now, also if you recall, I emphasized in the last session that, you know, every, pillar has a ritualistic aspect and the spirit aspect. I emphasize a lot more on the, spirit, spiritual and the intellectual aspect, of the pillars. ☆
3. 1:03 For example, if you recall I mentioned that, you know, the the spirit of, salat is humility, acknowledgement. The spirit of zakat is social service. The spirit of ramadan is patience and the spirit of hajj is unity. For example, if you recall I mentioned that, you know, the the spirit of, सलाद is humility, acknowledgement. The spirit of ज़क़ात is social service. The spirit of रमादान is patience and the spirit of हज is unity. ☆
4. 1:21 So let's start with the zakat first and as we know zakat is basically setting aside simply 2.5% of your wealth, your earnings for the cause of the religion and for the destitutes. It is like, you know, annual reminder to us that whatever that we have in this world, it is because of god almighty. So let's start with the ज़क़ात first and as we know ज़िकात is basically setting aside simply 2.5% of your wealth, your earnings for the cause of the religion and for the destitutes. It is like, you know, annual reminder to us that whatever that we have in this world, it is because of God almighty. ☆
5. 1:47 We may be making efforts, but those efforts will not even help us grow even a single grain of, you know, even a single grain or or rearing of livestock or let's say establishing of the, the big industries or the companies because there are innumerable factors that are at work from from earth to universe. We may be making efforts, but those efforts will not even help us grow even a single grain of, you know, even a single grain or or rearing of livestock or let's say establishing of the, the big industries or the companies because there are innumerable factors that are at work from from earth to universe. ☆
6. 2:09 If god were to remove even a single factor, all our efforts, you know, will be, down the drain. So, zakat is that, financial acknowledgement of this undeniable reality. Now there are simply eight categories as we know of zakat. What is it used for? If god were to remove even a single factor, all our efforts, you know, will be, down the drain. So, ज़क़ात is that, financial acknowledgement of this undeniable reality. Now there are simply eight categories as we know of ज़कात. What is it used for? ☆
7. 2:31 It is for the poor, for the destitute, for officials who collect zakat, for softening of the heart, for freeing of slaves, for people who are traveling, people who are in debt or or for the cause of god. If you look at what Quran commands us with respect to zakat, it says, attend to your prayers and pay the zakat and obey the messenger so that you may be shown mercy.

8. 3:00 Do not think that those who deny the truth can frustrate our plans on earth, thereabored shall be hell. And it it is indeed an, evil resort. So, what this verse is essentially telling us that, for us to receive the blessings of god, we have to develop three virtues, piety, charity, and the willingness to obey the model of the prophet.

So, what this verse is essentially telling us that, for us to receive the blessings of god, we have to develop three virtues, piety, charity, and the willingness to obey the model of the prophet. ☆
9. 3:27 Now, piety comes with, observing, adhering to prayers, and I discussed that in detail in the last session that when you, do your salah with the spirit, it, it instills in you the fear of this feeling of humility, modesty, sincerity. It removes the arrogance and stubbornness. So piety comes with that. And when you give out zakat, you are concerned, you are the well wisher for others. Now, piety comes with, observing, adhering to prayers, and I discussed that in detail in the last session that when you, do your सलाह with the spirit, it, it instills in you the fear of this feeling of humility, modesty, sincerity. It removes the arrogance and stubbornness. So piety comes with that. And when you give out ज़क़ात, you are concerned, you are the well wisher for others. ☆
10. 3:57 That builds, you know, the second aspect of the virtue, the charity aspect. And the third is, during the time of prophet mohammad, it was a direct obeyance obeyance of, you know, his commands. And right now what we need to do is, in our daily life, we have to use his example and deal our life accordingly with the principles and the teachings of prophet salah alaihi wasallam.

And right now what we need to do is, in our daily life, we have to use his example and deal our life accordingly with the principles and the teachings of prophet सलाह अलाही वस्ल्लाम. ☆
11. 4:22 So this is as far as, you know, the basic framework of what zakat is. Let me also, tell you a little bit about, the history of zakat because it is so important. I'm sure many of you would know, let's revisit. If you recall that when prophet, mohammad salah alaihi wasallam died in june, What ensued after that was ridda wars, the apostasy wars. So this is as far as, you know, the basic framework of what ज़क़ात is. Let me also, tell you a little bit about, the history of ज़क़ात because it is so important.

12. 4:49 It so happened that when hazrat abu bakr became the khalifa, there were many tribespeople who got up. So there were two challenges that hazrat abu bakr faced. One was that these tribesmen got up and they said, our pact was with prophet. Our pact was not with his successor. So we will not give zakat. They said that zakat is a tax. It so happened that when हज़रत अबू बकर became the Khalifa, there were many tribespeople who got up. So there were two challenges that हज़द अबूबकर faced. One was that these tribesmen got up and they said, our pact was with profit. Our pact was not with his successor. So we will not give ज़क़ात. They said that ज़क़ात is a tax. ☆
13. 5:15 Now, was more driven out of their economic selfishness, economic interest that they did not consider zakat as the fundamental pillar of islam but rather as a tax. Now, was more driven out of their economic selfishness, economic interest that they did not consider ज़क़ात as the fundamental pillar of Islam but rather as a tax. ☆
14. 5:25 This was one big challenge that opened up for hazrat abubakr and the second big challenge was the, the rise of the false prophets, musailama the liar, sajjaj tulaha, So, at that point of time, hazrat umar bin khattab, we all know that hazrat umar bin khattab's personality, he was like, you know, the pillar, the iron hand and nobody could stand before him. This was one big challenge that opened up for हज़रत अबूबाक़र and the second big challenge was the, the rise of the false prophets, मुसैलेमा the liar, सज्जान तुलेहा, So, at that point of time, हज़रत उमर बिन खत्ता, we all know that हज़रत उमर बिन खत्ता's personality, he was like, you know, the pillar, the iron hand and nobody could stand before him. ☆
15. 5:51 He was like so much stronger morally, spiritually. But imagine hazrat umar bin khattab goes to hazrat abu bakr and he says that ki aap in logon ke saath jang na karen. Imagine hazrat umar saying this. He said ki meri aur muhajireen ki yahi rai hai ki jab inke dilon mein iman aa jayega, to yeh zakat bhi denge. He was like so much stronger morally, spiritually. But imagine हज़रत उमर बिन ख़ताब goes to हज़रत अबू बकर and he says that कि आप इन लोगों के साथ जंग ना करें. Imagine हज़रत उमर saying this. He said कि मेरी और महाजरिन की यही राय है कि जब इनके दिलों में ईमान आ जाएगा, तो यह ज़क़ाद भी देंगे. ☆
16. 6:18 Abhi namaz parhne inko namaz parhne de but ab inke saath jang na karen. When Hazrat Abu Bakr heard this from Hazrat Umar saying that, you know, they are like wild animals and adopt a softened approach. Hazrat Abu Bakr was shocked. He said to Hazrat Umar ki maine to socha tha ki tum meri madad karne aaoge, lekin tum to madad ko chhodkar aaye ho. And then he said, jahalat mein to tum bade zordar the. अभी नमाज़ पढ़ने इनको नमाज़ पढ़ने दे but अब इनके साथ जंग ना करें. When हज़रत अबू बकर heard this from हज़रत उमर saying that, you know, they are like wild animals and adopt a softened approach. हज़रत अबू बकर was shocked. He said to हज़रत उमर कि मैंने तो सोचा था कि तुम मेरी मदद करने आओगे, लेकिन तुम तो मदद को छोड़कर आए हो. And then he said, जहालत में तो तुम बड़े ज़ोरदार थे. ☆
17. 6:48 Islam mein to tum boodhe aur kamzor ho gaye ho. And then Hazrat Abu said that by God, I will fight with them. Even if they hold a single rope that they used to give as zakat during the time of prophet, I will fight them. इस्लाम में तो तुम बूढ़े और कमज़ोर हो गए हो. And then हज़द अबू said that by god, I will fight with them. Even if they hold a single rope that they used to give as ज़क़ाद during the time of profit, I will fight them. ☆
18. 7:02 And it was hazrat abu bakr's determination, his leadership that brought these tribesmen back into the fold of islam and he also waged military campaigns against the false prophets and he got defining success. And it was हज़द अबू बकर's determination, his leadership that brought these tribesmen back into the fold of Islam and he also waged military campaigns against the false prophets and he got defining success. ☆
19. 7:19 So later when hazrat umar became the khalifa after passing away of hazrat abu bakr, one of the person said to hazrat umar ki aap behtar leader hain hazrat abu bakr se. To hazrat umar ne unko yaad dilaya yeh din. Unhone kaha ki hazrat abu bakr ka woh ek din umar aur umar ke khandan ki zindagi ke tamam bhar ke amal se behtar hai. So later when हज़रत उमर became the खलीफा after passing away of हज़रत अबूब बकर, one of the person said to हज़रत उमर कि आप बेहतर leader हैं हज़रत अबूब बकर से. तो हज़राद उमर ने उनको याद दिलाया यह दिन. उन्होंने कहा कि हज़राद अबू बकर का वह एक दिन उमर और उमर के खानदान की ज़िंदगी के तमाम भर के अमल से बेहतर है. ☆
20. 7:46 You can imagine that how important, zakat is. Not that because it is like one of the pillars but just think about it. Hamari zindagi mein jo bhi blessings hamein mili hui hain, main aaj yahan par khade hokar bol pa raha hoon, main saans le raha hoon, aap mujhe dekh rahe hain, main aapko dekh raha hoon, aap chalkar aaye hain yahan par. All of these is because of the blessings of god almighty and therefore zakat is, is very important and we need to understand this aspect. You can imagine that how important, ज़क़ात is. Not that because it is like one of the pillars but just think about it. हमारी ज़िंदगी में जो भी blessings हमें मिली हुई हैं, मैं आज यहां पर खड़े होकर बोल पा रहा हूं, मैं साँस ले रहा हूँ, आप मुझे देख रहे हैं, मैं आपको देख रहा हूँ, आप चलकर आए हैं यहाँ पर. All of these is because of the blessings of god almighty and therefore ज़क़ात is, is very important and we need to understand this aspect. ☆
21. 8:15 Aap yeh dekhiye, hazrat abu darda chithi likhte hain, hazrat salman farsi ko, usmein likhte hain ki on the day of judgement when people will be called for accountability, they will be on the bridge of sirat. To woh aage badh rahe honge, unka maal unke peeche peeche aa raha hoga. आप यह देखिए, हज़रत अबू दर्दा चिट्ठी लिखते हैं, हज़रत सलमान फारसी को, उसमें लिखते हैं कि on the day of judgement when people will be called for accountability, they will be on the bridge of सिरात. तो वह आगे बढ़ रहे होंगे, उनका माल उनके पीछे पीछे आ रहा होगा. ☆
22. 8:36 People who have given, who have spent wealth in the way of god, jab woh ladkhadayenge to wealth kahegi, don't worry, you fulfilled the debt that I owed in this world. Aaj aapko darne ki zaroorat nahi hai, aap aage badhiye. But similarly, those people who did not spend in the way of god, The wealth will be put on the shoulders of those people and they will cry out. People who have given, who have spent wealth in the way of God, जब वह लड़खड़ाएंगे तो wealth कहेगी, don't worry, you fulfilled the debt that I owed in this world. आज आपको डरने की ज़रूरत नहीं है, आप आगे बढ़िए. But similarly, those people who did not spend in the way of god, The wealth will be put on the shoulders of those people and they will cry out. ☆
23. 9:03 They will say that, they will they will cry for the destruction and for the removal of wealth. The wealth will say that kyon nahi tumne obey kiya concerning me? So this is, you know, very important to understand that why it is such a big responsibility. Sahaba mein itna jazba hota tha ki bepanah jazba kyunki woh allah se zyada ki umeed rakhte the, maximum chahte the. They will say that, they will they will cry for the destruction and for the removal of wealth. The wealth will say that क्यों नहीं तुमने obey किया concerning me? So this is, you know, very important to understand that why it is such a big responsibility. सहाबा में इतना जज़्बा होता था कि बेपना जज़्बा क्योंकि वह अल्लाह से ज़्यादा की उम्मीद रखते थे, maximum चाहते थे. ☆
24. 9:32 To khud bhi maximum par rehte the. Woh zyada se zyada dete the taaki unko allah ki taraf se zyada se zyada blessings mile. To yaad rakhiye ki deen ka jo haq hai woh aap par zyada hai, family ke haq se zyada. Mere guru Maulana Wahiduddin Khan sahab kehte the ki ki har insaan duniya ke returns ko dekhkar kharchta hai, lekin momin aakhirat ke returns ko dekhkar kharchta hai. तो खुद भी maximum पर रहते थे. वह ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा देते थे ताकि उनको अल्लाह की तरफ से ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा blessings मिले. तो याद रखिए कि दीन का जो हक है वह आप पर ज़्यादा है, family के हक से ज़्यादा. मेरे गुरु मुलाना वेदुद्दीन खान साहब कहते थे कि कि हर इंसान दुनिया के returns को देखकर खरजता है, लेकिन मौम्यन आकृत के returns को देखकर खरजता है. ☆
25. 10:01 So let us understand also that what is zakat and charity? What is the, what is the, you know, the relation? Hazrat ibn masood ne ek matla farmaya ki every one of you is a guest and, and his wealth is loan. The guest will depart and the loan will go back to its original owner. So, zakat basically, you know, benefits, it has two aspects. So let us understand also that what is ज़क़ात and charity? What is the, what is the, you know, the relation? हज़ार इब्ना मसूद ने एक मतभा फरमाया कि every one of you is a guest and, and his wealth is loan. The guest will depart and the loan will go back to its original owner. So, ज़कात basically, you know, benefits, it has two aspects. ☆
26. 10:30 It benefits the individual and it benefits the society. How it benefits the individual is that every person status in hereafter will depend on his fear and love for god almighty. To jab hum zakat dete hain, we are a person fears that, you know, he will be held accountable and therefore he spends in the way of, in the way of god. It benefits the individual and it benefits the society. How it benefits the individual is that every person status in hereafter will depend on his fear and love for god almighty. तो जब हम ज़क़ाद देते हैं, we are a person fears that, you know, he will be held accountable and therefore he spends in the way of, in the way of god. ☆
27. 10:57 What really happens is that maybe some people think that aap zakat kisi aur ko de rahe ho, lekin actually speaking it is coming back to you in the sense that it purifies you. It purifies your, your earnings. It removes the love of wealth that you have. You realize that it is given as a trust by God almighty to you. What really happens is that maybe some people think that आप ज़क़ात किसी और को दे रहे हो, लेकिन actually speaking it is coming back to you in the sense that it purifies you. It purifies your, your earnings. It removes the love of wealth that you have. You realize that it is given as a trust by God almighty to you. ☆
28. 11:20 That is why in Quran you find that it says that your wealth and children are nothing but your test. To on a lighter note ek Parsi saying hai ki agar, agar jaan mangoge to haazir hai, maal mangoge to sochna padega. That is why in कुरान you find that it says that your wealth and children are nothing but your test. तो on a lighter note एक पारसी saying है कि अगर, अगर जान मांगोगे तो हाज़िर है, माल मांगोगे तो सोचना पड़ेगा. ☆
29. 11:42 But yahi factor hai kyunki logon ke logon ke dil mein unka paisa itna azeez hota hai ki woh kharchna nahi chahte. Jab woh kharchta hai to woh actually ek khuda ka haq hai jo woh lautata hai. So, look at this, you know, very eye opening verse. It says never will you attain to righteousness unless you spend for the cause of god out of what you cherish and whatever you spend is known to god. But यही factor है क्योंकि लोगों के लोगों के दिल में उनका पैसा इतना अज़ीज़ होता है कि वह खर्चना नहीं चाहते. जब वह खर्चता है तो वह actually एक खुदा का हक है जो वह लौटाता है. So, look at this, you know, very eye opening verse. It says never will you attain to righteousness unless you spend for the cause of god out of what you cherish and whatever you spend is known to god. ☆
30. 12:12 So, we have not been sent in this world to hold wealth. We have been sent in this world and this, if you read quran, you you understand from hadith that we are here for a test. Every person is, seen whether he is fit to inhabitate, the paradise or he is not, he is not fit. So, we have not been sent in this world to hold wealth. We have been sent in this world and this, if you read कुरान, you you understand from hadith that we are here for a test. Every person is, seen whether he is fit to inhabitate, the paradise or he is not, he is not fit. ☆
31. 12:35 So, you are spending, jab aap sadqa karte hain, aap aap zakat dete hain, to you are actually showing that yes, you are fit for paradise. But when you exploit others, you engage in luxury, then how can you, how can they both be on the similar footing? A person who gives zakat as compared to a person who does not give zakat. Can they be, both equal? So, you are spending, जब आप सदका करते हैं, आप आप ज़कात देते हैं, तो you are actually showing that yes, you are fit for paradise. But when you exploit others, you engage in luxury, then how can you, how can they both be on the similar footing? A person who gives zakat as compared to a person who does not give zakat. Can they be, both equal? ☆
32. 12:58 Look at this, you know, this beautiful verse, those who believe do good deeds, attend to their prayers and engage in almsgiving. They shall be rewarded by the lord and shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve. Look at this, you know, this beautiful verse, those who believe do good deeds, attend to their prayers and engage in almsgiving. They shall be rewarded by the lord and shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve. ☆
33. 13:16 To jab aap apne mehboob maal ko khuda ke raaste mein lagate hain, to jaise maine kaha ki aap purify karte hain aur purified personalities hi jannat mein baakhil ki jayengi. Aap khuda ke raaste par kaam kaisa laga rahe hain? With respect to that, there is a very good hadith. तो जब आप अपने महबूब माल को खुदा के रास्ते में लगाते हैं, तो जैसे मैंने कहा कि आप purify करते हैं और purified personalities ही जन्नत में बाखिल की जाएंगी. आप खुदा के रास्ते पर काम कैसा लगा रहे हैं? With respect to that, there is a very good हदीश. ☆
34. 13:39 Prophet said that if god grants guidance to one person through you, then it is better than all those things upon which the sun rises. So, zakat in that sense is, you know, it's a practical prayer. It it reminds a person ki jab aap zakat dete hain, aap ya charity karte hain, to aap apne aap ko remind karate hain ki aaj mere paas paisa hai, iske paas nahi hai. But agar god ne chaha to yeh position reverse ho sakti hai. Prophet said that if god grants guidance to one person through you, then it is better than all those things upon which the sun rises. So, ज़क़ाद in that sense is, you know, it's a practical prayer. It it reminds a person कि जब आप ज़क़ाद देते हैं, आप या charity करते हैं, तो आप अपने आप को remind कराते हैं कि आज मेरे पास पैसा है, इसके पास नहीं है. But अगर god ने चाहा तो यह position reverse हो सकती है. ☆
35. 14:09 He can be rich and I can be poor. See, you, when you give out zakat, you are actually also reducing the inequality in the society. You are showing that others have rights, you know, over you. So, zakat is also related to morality because on one hand it removes the feeling of stinginess, miserliness and on the other hand it promotes, you know, the culture of generosity, philanthropy.

So, ज़क़ात is also related to morality because on one hand it removes the feeling of stinginess, miserliness and on the other hand it promotes, you know, the culture of generosity, philanthropy. ☆
36. 14:39 And one important thing is ki agar aapko zakat mil rahi hai, if you are the recipient of zakat, then you should not feel jealous of the person who is giving out zakat. Yeh bahut important hai. You should love that person because that brother or that sister has helped you. So, should have that feeling. Look at this, you know, this amazing verse. Quran says who will give god a generous loan? He will multiply it many times over.

He will multiply it many times over. ☆
37. 15:08 It is god who withholds and god who gives abundantly and it is to him that you shall all be returned. I mean, you know, this is such a phenomenal verse. Just imagine the most merciful, the most compassionate, the glorious, the magnificent, the creator, the provider, the sustainer, the only one, the mighty one, the forgiving.

38. 15:37 And what does he say? What he has given out of that, you spend a little. He is saying, will you give a generous loan to me? I mean, this is, this is infinite amount of mercy and compassion that one finds. When you, when you do that, you're actually putting your name in the front row of believers. And equally enlightening is the next verse. And what does he say? What he has given out of that, you spend a little. He is saying, will you give a generous loan to me?

39. 16:05 God has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth in return for the garden. God has bought the lives of the believers. I mean, you know, I keep reading these two verses.

40. 16:28 It is such an encouraging verse because it tells you to, you know, be steadfast and that true success lies in following the divine contract and what do you get in return? Promise for paradise. And quran also exhorts, it says that spend for god's cause, do not cast yourself into destruction by your own hands.

And कुरान also exhorts, it says that spend for god's cause, do not cast yourself into destruction by your own hands. ☆
41. 16:56 Do good, God loves the doers of good. So in a way, it is also cautioning, this verse is also cautioning us that if we do not incur expenditure in the way of god, then we are actually putting ourselves on the path of destruction. Aap yaad rakhiye ki agar aapke paas kuch dene ke liye aur agar aap woh na dein, to jo khuda ke paas hai, woh aapko kyun dein? Do good, God loves the doers of good. So in a way, it is also cautioning, this verse is also cautioning us that if we do not incur expenditure in the way of god, then we are actually putting ourselves on the path of destruction. आप याद रखिए कि अगर आपके पास कुछ देने के लिए और अगर आप वह ना दें, तो जो खुदा के पास है, वह आपको क्यों दें? ☆
42. 17:24 If what you have, you're not willing to surrender, not give in the way of God. Why should God give what he has? It is very important because people do all the spending for their families, for their children, friends circle. But what about your dean? What about your responsibility?

43. 17:49 It says, those who spend their wealth for God's cause may be compared to a grain of corn, which sprouts into seven years with a 100 grains in each year, for God grants manyfold increase to whom he wills. God is infinite and all knowing. So, yeh depend karta hai ki aap jo beej bona chahte hain, woh is duniya ke liye bona chahte hain ya aakhirat ke liye bona chahte hain.

144. 55:51 When prophet, used to break his fast, he used to say, thirst has been quenched and hunger is no more, and God willing, God will bless us with His, reward.

146. 56:24 And that is very important, other important thing that I wanted to say that we also see that today iftars are very lavishly organized, whereas prophet said that simplicity is a part of faith.

147. 56:54 The the the problem with the lavish iftar is that it takes your focus away from the main part which is the spirit of iftar and it focuses on the taste, on the food.

162. 1:03:34 So, see, one important aspect that I also mentioned is that ramadan helps you in taking away distractions out of your life. Toh which means mobile phone toh band ho gaya.

164. 1:04:29 To understand the preciousness of your time. To aap planning kariye, har cheez planning se hi hoti hai.

Beach में आपने जो भी breaks, like the normal course you do. ☆
165. 1:04:50 But of course, if during ramadan it is falling, then of course it's altogether spiritual enhancement that would help you in, you know, achieving your task in a much better way. You want to add something? Yep. I think the only thing I would like to add is please don't spoil your routines. I mean, it's it's just a different routine that you have to follow during, ramzan.

168. 1:06:07 So that is what, you know, I talked about in the presentation that if you, if you observe, if you follow ramadan with the true spirit, then that thirty days of following ramadan becomes, you know, a habit. So, you make that as a habit and therefore, you know, ek mahina aap divine training karte hain aur gyarah mahine aap usko apni life mein implement karte hain. So that is what, you know, I talked about in the presentation that if you, if you observe, if you follow रामदान with the true spirit, then that thirty days of following रामदान becomes, you know, a habit. So, you make that as a habit and therefore, you know, एक महीना आप divine training करते हैं और ग्यारह महीने आप उसको अपनी life में implement करते हैं. ☆
169. 1:06:35 But that depends ki aapki tayyari kitni hai. Ab jaise aap aise samjhiye aap exam ke liye baithte hain, to kabhi bahut achhe number aate hain, kabhi nahin aate hain. Kyun? Kyunki aapki tyari agar bahut achhi hai, to aapke numbers bahut achhe hain. Ramadan mein bhi wahi hai. Agar aapne poori spirit jazbe ke saath, aapne sincerity ke saath ramadhan ko aapne, apni mind, apni life mein utara hai, to woh gyarah mahine tak aapko derail nahin hone dega. But that depends कि आपकी तैयारी कितनी है. अब जैसे आप ऐसे समझिए आप exam के लिए बैठते हैं, तो कभी बहुत अच्छे number आते हैं, कभी नहीं आते हैं. क्यों? क्योंकि आपकी त्यारी अगर बहुत अच्छी है, तो आपके numbers बहुत अच्छे हैं. रमादान में भी वही है. अगर आपने पूरी spirit जज़्बे के साथ, आपने sincerity के साथ रमाधान को आपने, अपनी mind, अपनी life में उतारा है, तो वह ग्यारह महीने तक आपको derail नहीं होने देगा. ☆
170. 1:07:01 It will remind you, keep reminding you and by the time you start feeling that, you know, you are lowering in terms of, you know, your actions. Again, ramadhan will come to, you know, give you that training again. So that is why it is... 30 is is is a good practice. Sir, I want to ask what is nafs and how it is different from our souls? Hum kahin na kahin yeh sunte hain ki apne nafs ko control karo. It will remind you, keep reminding you and by the time you start feeling that, you know, you are lowering in terms of, you know, your actions. Again, रमाधान will come to, you know, give you that training again. So that is why it is... 30 is is is a good practice. Sir, I want to ask what is नफ्स and how it is different from our souls? हम कहीं ना कहीं यह सुनते हैं कि अपने नफ्स को control करो. ☆
171. 1:07:31 To yeh nafs hai kya kya? I mean, it's, you know, controlling your desires. Like I mentioned with respect from ramadan and how it is linked to your desire management. See, har ek insaan ke andar desires hain and it is not that any one person is free from desires. Lekin hum logon ko kya karna hai? People think that, you know, we can remove every single bit of desire. It is not possible. तो यह नफ्स है क्या क्या? I mean, it's, you know, controlling your desires. Like I mentioned with respect from रमादान and how it is linked to your desire management. See, हर एक इंसान के अंदर desires हैं and it is not that any one person is free from desires. लेकिन हम लोगों को क्या करना है? People think that, you know, we can remove every single bit of desire. It is not possible. ☆
172. 1:08:00 But what you can do is, you can do nafs management, desire management. And how does that desire management happen? That happens with, you know, increasing your willpower, increasing your self control. And that is why one example that I gave ki do log ek jo fast rakhta hai aur ek jo fast nahin rakhta hai. Dono cannot be, both cannot be the same. But what you can do is, you can do नफ्ज़ management, desire management. And how does that desire management happen? That happens with, you know, increasing your willpower, increasing your self control. And that is why one example that I gave कि दो लोग एक जो fast रखता है और एक जो fast नहीं रखता है. दोनों cannot be, both cannot be the same. ☆
173. 1:08:23 A person who, let's say, who keeps fast, uske andar jo will power hai, jo self control hai, jo desire management ki capability hai, woh zyada strong hai as compared to a person who doesn't keep fast. So this is, in that sense ramadan also helps you in, in desire management. A person who, let's say, who keeps fast, उसके अंदर जो will power है, जो self control है, जो desire management की capability है, वह ज़्यादा strong है as compared to a person who doesn't keep fast. So this is, in that sense रमा दान also helps you in, in desire management. ☆
174. 1:08:44 And you have to understand that nobody in this world will have his or her desire fulfilled in, in, on this planet. The desire fulfillment in this, in the strict sense of, or in the complete sense of the world will only happen in paradise. Har cheez ka aap dekhen alag alag hai pair rakha hai agar bhook hai, to khana hai, pyas hai to pani hai. And you have to understand that nobody in this world will have his or her desire fulfilled in, in, on this planet. The desire fulfillment in this, in the strict sense of, or in the complete sense of the world will only happen in paradise. हर चीज़ का आप देखें अलग अलग है पेर रखा है अगर भूख है, तो खाना है, प्यास है तो पानी है. ☆
175. 1:09:10 Usi tarike se desires hain, fulfillment uska paradise mein hai. To aap desire ko manage kar sakte hain. Aap desire ko khatam nahin kar paenge, woh to aate hi rahenge. That is what the essence of the Islamic life is. You keep reminding yourself, you have to control. You have to control, you have to bring in self discipline in, in oneself. उसी तरीके से desires हैं, fulfillment उसका paradise में है. तो आप desire को manage कर सकते हैं. आप desire को खत्म नहीं कर पाएंगे, वह तो आते ही रहेंगे.

176. 1:09:33 Saurabh, yeh poochhna tha ki like if one cannot afford Hajj to woh compensate kya aise actions kar lete ki jo skill hi hona chahiye. Nahin to woh to condition hi hai ki you, you can do Hajj if you can afford too. Aap dua karein, Allah se ki he creates situations aur he creates means that you are able to perform. सौरभ, यह पूछना था कि like if one cannot afford merge तो वह compensate क्या ऐसे actions कर लेते कि जो skill ही होना चाहिए. नहीं तो वह तो condition ही है कि you, you can do हर्ज़ if you can afford too. आप दुआ करें, अल्लाह से कि he creates situations और he creates means that you are able to perform. ☆

179. 1:10:17 hain dil se ki main chahti hoon ki main hajj karoon. हैं दिल से कि मैं चाहती हूँ कि मैं हज करूँ. ☆
180. 1:10:28 To either he will, he will create situations, conditions that you are able to do. And I think that if you are not able to, but because of your intention, god will accept that intention as you are performing the Hajj. He is the most merciful, the most compassionate. Sabse important cheez hai ki aapka chahna sincerely, that is the most important thing. तो either he will, he will create situations, conditions that you are able to do. And I think that if you are not able to, but because of your intention, god will accept that intention as you are performing the hajj. He is the most merciful, the most compassionate. सबसे important चीज़ है कि आपका चाहना sincerely, that is the most important thing. ☆
181. 1:10:56 So same is with zakat also. That is also conditional. So if you fulfill that condition then it becomes an obligatory. That is why, yeah, isliye bhi kaha gaya ki even saying a good word is also a charity. Is Tom. Think Harish, Sam. So same is with ज़कात also. That is also conditional. So if you fulfill that condition then it becomes an obligatory. That is why, yeah, इसलिए भी कहा गया कि even saying a good word is also a charity. Is Tom. Think Harish, Sam. ☆
182. 1:11:24 So I've been working since 2007, as I told you earlier. So maybe, like, twenty years being working in corporates. So the thing is when I started working, I was earning very less.

207. 1:19:25 So main jab padh raha tha to mujhe aisa samajh mein aaya ki zakaat kyu introduce hui? Aapke mashra mein paisa aana chahiye aur jab zakaat aati thi to baitulmaal mein paisa aa raha us baitulmaal se kya karte the? Woh aise log jo shayad earning nahi kar paate the unke paas woh paisa chahta tha. To woh jo spirit thi na woh dekhiye main bhi sahi keh raha hoon mera bhai bhi sahi. Matlab woh jo mahashra aapne create kiya tha woh sabke liye aap sab kuch lao. Theek hai? Aaj ke time mein jab government taxes leti hai to kya karti hai? So मैं जब पढ़ रहा था तो मुझे ऐसा समझ में आया कि जगात क्यों introduce हुई? आपके माशिका में पैसा आना चाहिए और जब जगात आती थी तो बैतुलमाल में पैसा आ रहा उस बैतुलमाल से क्या करते थे? वह ऐसे लोग जो शायद earning नहीं कर पाते थे उनके पास वह पैसा चाहता था. तो वह जो spirit थी ना वह देखिए मैं भी सही कह रहा हूं मेरा भाई भी सही. मतलब वह जो महाशिरा आपने create किया था वह सबके लिए आप सब कुछ लाओ. ठीक है? आज के time में जब government taxes लेती है तो क्या करती है? ☆

209. 1:20:13 Jab woh aadat pad jayenge tab us script ke saath padhni bahut zaroori I think spirit pakadna bahut zaroori hai saari cheezon mein. So that's what I personally No no, very good. Yeah. Spirit bahut zaroori hai. Absolutely, yes.

And they try to save the tax. ☆
211. 1:21:09 Bahut saari tarike hote hain tax save karne ke liye and they plan it out like Hindus bahut karte hain plan out. So woh kehte hain ki like tax save karke to build it better for life. To soch raha hai kya hona chahiye? Matlab kabhi kabhi hum bhi confuse ho jaate like tax ko save karna to plan rakhun ya phir nahi? Aur tax save karne ke liye loan aur debt wagera kabhi pura hum finance mein padhaya gaya hai. To aisi baat nikli thi hamare friend seller mein ki kaise taxes ko bachaye? बहुत सारी तरीके होते हैं tax save करने के लिए and they plan it out like हिंदूs बहुत करते हैं plan out.

212. 1:21:37 To maine kaha nahi main kabhi inshalan diye. Main loan nahi loongi. They were saying lekin tumhe lena padega. Kahin na kahin to credit score badhane ke liye kabhi bhi aur to yeh cheez thi ki No, so see there are two things. One is that we have to be a law abiding citizen And law abiding citizen means that you have to follow all the laws, the regulations that the government has laid out. Ek hota hai tax ki chori, ek hota hai tax ko bachana. तो मैंने कहा नहीं मैं कभी इंशालन दिए. मैं loan नहीं लूंगी. They were saying लेकिन तुम्हें लेना पड़ेगा. कहीं ना कहीं तो credit score बढ़ाने के लिए कभी भी और तो यह चीज़ थी कि No, so see there are two things. One is that we have to be a law abiding citizen And law abiding citizen means that you have to follow all the laws, the regulations that the government has laid out. एक होता है tax की चोरी, एक होता है tax को बचाना. ☆
213. 1:22:06 Dono mein bahut fark hai. Tax ki chori is, is absolutely no no. Ok? But tax ko bachana government itself has come out with schemes that if you do investment in a b c, then you can save taxes. So they, those schemes are also devised in a way to benefit. It comes back into the system. So that is ok. दोनों में बहुत फ़र्क है. Tax की चोरी is, is absolutely no no. Ok? But tax को बचाना government itself has come out with schemes that if you do investment in a b c, then you can save taxes. So they, those schemes are also devised in a way to benefit. It comes back into the system. So that is ok. ☆
214. 1:22:29 Jaise aap maan lijiye ki aapki taxable income hai, government says ki aap 1 lakh 50,000 tak aap ek equity linked savings scheme mein ya insurance plan mein daal sakte hain. Pachas hazar aap NPS mein daal sakte hain. To do lakh rupaye aapki total income se minus ho jayega, utna tax bach jayega. Which is absolutely fine. But tax ki chori nahi honi chahiye. Secondly, you really don't need to take a loan to improve your credit score. No? I mean, that is, that is ok. जैसे आप मान लीजिए कि आपकी taxable income है, government says कि आप 1 lakh 50,000 तक आप एक equity linked savings scheme में या insurance plan में डाल सकते हैं. पचास हज़ार आप NPS में डाल सकते हैं. तो दो लाख रुपए आपकी total income से minus हो जाएगा, उतना tax बच जाएगा. Which is absolutely fine. But tax की चोरी नहीं होनी चाहिए. Secondly, you really don't need to take a loan to improve your credit score. No? I mean, that is, that is ok. ☆
215. 1:22:56 People say so that you take loan. Loan, aapko isliye nahi lena hai ki aap, aap, aapka, aapka credit score better ho jaaye. But maan lijiye ki aapko education leni hai aur uske liye aapke paas paise nahi hain. People say so that you take loan. Loan, आपको इसलिए नहीं लेना है कि आप, आप, आपका, आपका credit score better हो जाए. But मान लीजिए कि आपको education लेनी है और उसके लिए आपके पास पैसे नहीं हैं. ☆
216. 1:23:12 But that education can make you stronger financially, a better person, professionally way forward, then that loan is fine and you can pay repay that loan which is ok because uska badal mein aapko education mil rahi hai. So which is bachane ke liye debt ka kuch hai? No sir, tax bachane ke liye agar loan lena pade to woh mat kijiye. But that education can make you stronger financially, a better person, professionally way forward, then that loan is fine and you can pay repay that loan which is ok because उसका बदल में आपको education मिल रही है. So which is बचाने के लिए debt का कुछ है? No sir, tax बचाने के लिए अगर loan लेना पड़े तो वह मत कीजिए. ☆
217. 1:23:36 It's, I think that will not so yeah yeah so okay. Okay. Thank you, everyone. Yeah. It's, I think that will not so yeah yeah so okay. Okay. Thank you, everyone. Yeah. ☆
