 Auto-generated transcript:Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen wa salatu wa salamu ala ashrafil anbiya wal mursaleen. Muhammadur Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sallamu taslimun kathirun kathirakum waduh. My brothers and sisters, it is very important, we are looking at the seerah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. It is very important for us to remind ourselves as to why we should do it. Right. And the reason I'm saying that is because attitude influences behavior. And behavior drives results. Three things, three stages. Attitude influences behavior and behavior drives results. It's not knowledge, it's not knowing something, you have to act on some path. Now, attitude is critically important because attitude, as I said, drives behavior and therefore attitude is what puts sincerity and dedication and so on into the behavior. What is the difference between your approach, for example, to your job compared to education? I'm not talking about a hobby. Right, I'm not talking about a hobby. I'm saying you got a job and you also have a hobby. Is there a difference in your attitude towards these two things? Yes. Why is it different? Because the job, you are clear about what am I getting out of this job. This job, I need it because this is how I earn money, this is how I feed my family and so on and so on. So I need to go there. I can't afford to lose a job. The hobby, yes, of course, I'm interested in the hobby. Something I like to do, no doubt about that. But if I miss out one day, usually hobby is not a daily thing, maybe weekend or something. So one weekend, maybe there is a party at home or something. So you miss going to your hobby. It's okay. I mean, you might think about that and say, I wish I had gone. But beyond that, there's no great regret because it's a hobby. It's something that you do. You do in your free time, in your spare time. It's not the aim and goal of your life. With regard to your job, you are concerned about it. You are also concerned about your progression in the organization that you're working in. Supposing you're working in the organization, you are at one level and you remain on that level for the rest of your life. No, it's not okay. Right? You want progress. You want promotions. You want greater authority because that gives you more money. You want more money and so on. But in the hobby, not everyone progresses in the same way. You know, you say, okay, I'm doing this for enjoyment. I'm not going to, you know, bust my skull about the quality of that and so on and so on. On the other hand, you might find there are some people who get so interested in their hobby and they get so dedicated and so focused that one day that hobby becomes their profession. And they do very well. Right? You might have somebody who was a medical doctor for a long time. Medical doctor, for example, becomes a professional photographer. Now he's, you know, making, even if he doesn't make millions, he's making enough to feed his family and so on. But he's enjoying himself. He's taking some fabulous photographs. I mean, the hobby converted into his life goal and into his mission in life. Why? Because of the attitude. Now, attitude depends on the benefit that you think you will derive. From something. And it depends on the benefit that you think that you will derive from something. So therefore, your attitude towards work is a certain attitude because you believe this is what I am deriving from this work. My attitude towards the hobby is different because, you know, that's not my actual goal in life. We all read the newspapers, for example, or whatever version of the newspaper. Compared to a journalist. Compared to a political columnist or a political commentator who writes a weekly column. So you also read the papers and you also are focused on the news. That guy is also focused on the news. There's a difference in attitude. Compare that, for example, to a politician. Who's got more dedication towards something?
