 Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and the All-Merciful, and the All-Merciful. Peace and blessings of Allah be upon you, O Shafi'i al-Mursaleen, Muhammad Rasool Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and upon all of you. Peace and blessings of Allah be upon you, too. We look at the rules of Islamic parenting, and I call them the six rules. We ask Allah to help us to understand the responsibility of parenting and to fulfill it. So, we're talking about life skills, and as I mentioned to you, these are some life skills. One of the most important ones, number three, is the daily account, the mahasibah, and the learning journal. Learning journal is an interesting… tool that I teach people, which is, what you do is, take again your notebook. You do it in this sequence. First of all, what you do is, in the notebook, you write down three goals for tomorrow. Every night, you write down three goals for tomorrow in order of priority. And the priority has to be in keeping with your life goal. You are achieving these three… You're working on these three goals to achieve the overall goal, your life goal. So, first, you have to begin with writing down the life goal, and then going from there, writing every day three goals in order of priority, which will help you to achieve your life goal. Then, you… The following day, your day unfolds or unravels, whichever way you want to get it. So, you write down your three goals. And then, at the end of the day, you sit down, you open the book, and the book are the three goals you had written for the day. Now, you analyze these three goals and say, did I achieve it, did I not achieve it, what helped me to achieve, what hindered my achievement, and what am I learning lessons from that. Therefore, what did I learn with regard to achieving the goals? So, that you write down in a… In a… In a… You look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those and look at those happen, what are my learnings? Three columns. That is called the learning journal. This is very important and I strongly recommend that you start writing this. It's not a diary. It's not like every day in the morning I woke up at 8 o'clock I had breakfast, I ate this thing for breakfast and I don't know. This is only focusing on your learning. What are my learnings? This is what I experienced. This is my reflection on my experience and this is what I take away from it. Believe me, you start writing this, you will learn a hell of a lot. Because all of us go through life, we have experience after experience after experience but we all don't benefit the same from those experiences. Some benefit more, some benefit less. That has to do with the quality of the learning. And the quality of the learning to improve it, this is the way. It's to write a learning journal. I spoke to you already about friends, so I won't repeat that. This is a very nice quote. It's not one of mine, somebody has said it, but beautiful. It says that we must all suffer from one of two things. The pain of discipline or the pain of regret. We must all suffer from one of two things. The pain of discipline or the pain of regret. And the truth of it is that excuses don't change reality. So if you did not do something which you are supposed to do or you did something which you are not supposed to do and you make an excuse, it does not change the fact that you did something wrong. Right? If I lose something, for example, one of the amazing things that we give up, the biggest asset that we have, the only non-creatable, non-replaceable asset, which is called what? Time. We give it up for nothing. We give it up for nothing and the people who take it from us are making humongous amounts of money because we are giving up our life. Right? They have access to your most private parts of your life and you can't sue them because you gave them that access. If they got that, if they had got that access without your permission, you could have actually sued them for invasion of privacy. But you cannot sue them because you are putting it out there. Who is posting on Instagram? You or Zuckerberg...
