Moving On From the Past

Mohammed HijabWhat's something you still haven't moved on from? To be honest, and this is going to sound so like fake, but I've moved on from natural anyway. I've moved on from everything. There's nothing I haven't moved on from. There's nothing. There is nothing. There's no way I would... That is one thing I work on myself to do. Like, there's no way that something can stay in my mind for over two years.

GuestWow.

Mohammed HijabWhatever that thing is, I think two years is the cutoff point. That's it. Like, if someone died, okay, I'm not saying like, alhamdulillah, my parents haven't died, my children haven't. That's something that would stay with me forever if it did happen. But because it hasn't gotten to that level, um, alhamdulillah, there's not a thing that I have, "Oh, I haven't moved on from."

Connecting to Allah

Mohammed HijabYou know, I connect that back to Allah. I connect it back to, you know why? Because when you make Allah number one, your only concern of fear... That's what one scholar, one sheikh, was saying, that if you don't have the fear of Allah in your heart, Allah puts the fear of everything in your heart. So the fact that you don't have, like, you have that connection with Allah, our concern is what? The pleasure of Allah. Do you get it? And we fixate on that. And when we do that, our concern is not to lose Allah. That's why I believe when you have tawhid, genuine freedom comes because you break those shackles, invisible shackles you have. And I think it's really profound.
