00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,720
Salaam Alaikum and welcome back 
to another episode of 

2
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,480
Manifesting Muslim. 
I'm your host, Zara Peterson. 

3
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,800
And in today's episode, we're 
going to be talking about 

4
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,520
redirection from Allah. 
It's definitely a subject that 

5
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,440
we've spoken about before, but 
as it is with everything else, 

6
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,520
there's like a tonne of things 
that I can add to it. 

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:39,920
But very specifically now I want
to talk about the the speed of 

8
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:47,040
redirection and how it can come 
in, in stages, so to speak. 

9
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,200
And that because it can feel a 
little bit slow or because it 

10
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,880
goes in these stages, sometimes 
we don't fully trust it. 

11
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,200
And this is where we can 
potentially be getting in our 

12
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,200
own way of the blessing that 
Allah is trying to send us 

13
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,880
because He's not sending us to 
the top of the blessing 

14
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,360
immediately sometimes. 
Sometimes He wants us to go 

15
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,000
through stages so that we can 
have some growth or learn 

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,360
certain things that we need to 
learn. 

17
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,440
So I'm going to use myself as an
example because this is 

18
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,200
something that I've been going 
through quite recent like 

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,040
lately. 
And I think there's some some 

20
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,080
good examples to be taken out of
what I've been going through and

21
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,920
where I'm currently at, 
specifically around my business.

22
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,880
So this isn't necessarily around
like my personal life or 

23
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,360
anything like that, but my 
business. 

24
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,920
So for those of you who've been 
around for for some time, you 

25
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,680
may remember not that long ago, 
I think before Ramadan, and I 

26
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,560
think it was, I put up a video 
about like taking my own advice 

27
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,600
and not getting stagnant and 
comfortable in, in, you know, 

28
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,080
Oh, well, it's not harming me, 
but it's also not directly 

29
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,680
taking me to the stage that I 
want to be at with my business, 

30
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,160
my economy, my whatever else it 
is, right, My purpose or what I 

31
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,240
feel like I'm destined to do and
whatever. 

32
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,840
And I mentioned a couple of 
times that I've been working 

33
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,320
with a, with a business coach 
that I've hired a business coach

34
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,520
to help me get a little bit more
focused on what it is that I 

35
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,800
actually want to do and how to 
direct my business in in a 

36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,880
specific way. 
And I think potentially the 

37
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,080
reason why I hired her as well 
is because I needed permission 

38
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,360
from someone other than me 
because this was the first time 

39
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,320
that I really felt like this. 
This is this is not a small 

40
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,200
decision. 
And I feel like I need to 

41
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,440
understand why. 
So I set up manifesting Muslim 

42
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:42,520
are in 2023, I believe. 
And I set up manifesting Muslim 

43
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,960
are because I wanted to teach 
people about the law of 

44
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,840
attraction, but from an Islamic 
perspective. 

45
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:51,760
And if you want to know actually
why I set up manifesting Muslim 

46
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,120
are you can actually go back and
listen to the very first episode

47
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,360
of this podcast because that is 
where I fully take you on and 

48
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,360
that I, I recorded that when I 
set up manifesting Muslim. 

49
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,200
So you will hear like my raw, 
unfiltered thoughts about that. 

50
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,880
And it's like I haven't gone 
back and listened. 

51
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,200
I don't listen back to any of my
episodes ever. 

52
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,120
Even when I'm editing my 
episodes and uploading them. 

53
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:18,920
I literally just listen to the 
beginning bit of the episode and

54
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:21,960
the final bit of the episode 
just so I can like edit in the 

55
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,960
intro and the music and all that
stuff. 

56
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,160
But after that, I'm like, 
whatever I say is none of my 

57
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,160
business. 
But so I haven't actually 

58
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,240
personally listened back to that
first episode pretty much since 

59
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,240
I recorded it at all again, 
ever. 

60
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,640
So I don't remember what I said.
But if you're interested in why 

61
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,000
I set it up, go and listen to 
that because that was the 

62
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,640
version of me that was like, 
this is where I'm going with 

63
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,800
this. 
And it's been a blast. 

64
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,640
Like three years later, 
Alhamdulillah, I'm still going 

65
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:57,080
and the community is growing and
I've been affirmed time and 

66
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,240
again that there's a, a great 
big interest in learning about 

67
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,240
law of attraction from an 
Islamic perspective. 

68
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:09,480
But one thing happened that I 
wasn't prepared for, but I, I 

69
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:15,520
kind of met very early on in my 
career in manifesting Muslim was

70
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,519
that in order to, to be able to 
practise law of attraction from 

71
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:25,880
an Islamic perspective, you need
to have a really healthy, strong

72
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,720
relationship with Alas Pano 
Ottola. 

73
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,560
Because many of the principles 
that the law of attraction from 

74
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,760
an Islamic perspective relies 
upon is your relationship with 

75
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,360
Alas, Pano Ottola. 
And so I found myself trying to 

76
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,880
teach law of attraction to 
Muslims, but the Muslims having 

77
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,160
a difficult time, you know, 
having questions be like, but 

78
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,880
how do I trust it? 
How do I diss? 

79
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,160
How do I that? 
How do I surrender? 

80
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,480
How do I, you know, and like 
questioning how to, to do the 

81
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,480
steps in order to use law of 
attraction. 

82
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:05,280
And it made me realise very 
early on that the disconnect 

83
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,200
isn't necessarily, I mean, yeah,
you can teach people the law of 

84
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,640
attraction from an Islamic 
perspective, but in order for 

85
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,800
people to use the tool, there's 
a step that has to come before 

86
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,840
that. 
And that is to work on your 

87
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:21,320
relationship with Allah, span or
Taala and create a relationship 

88
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,000
with Allah that is full of trust
and faith and belief and 

89
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,680
surrender and Tawakkol and just 
absolutely everything that the 

90
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,120
law of attraction requires from 
us in order for us to use it. 

91
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,800
And so I knew that that was 
happening, but at the same time,

92
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,280
I felt very much stuck on like, 
well, I'm manifesting Muslim and

93
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:47,920
I've got the podcast, I've got 
the book, I've got the TikTok 

94
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,160
channel, I've got the 
manifesting Muslim membership. 

95
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,360
You know, I was like, I've done 
it. 

96
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,720
I'm I'm teaching law of 
attraction. 

97
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,600
So maybe it's somebody else's 
job to teach about the 

98
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,200
relationship to Allah and how to
reconnect with Allah. 

99
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,880
And I just have to sort of like 
stick my grounds and be like, 

100
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,040
yeah, but that's not my job. 
And then at the same time, I 

101
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,800
found myself coming back to the 
same topic over and over and 

102
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:14,320
over again in my content, in my 
coaching, in my membership, 

103
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,800
because I found myself teaching 
those principles of how to 

104
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,680
attach to a lot and less and 
less about law of attraction. 

105
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,600
Because again, while people had 
an interest in law of attraction

106
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,880
there, there's, there's like, 
again, there's, there's a 

107
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,040
missing step. 
So in order for me to even be 

108
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,360
able to teach you about how to 
do law of attraction, you first 

109
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,280
need to have this initial 
foundation. 

110
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,240
And so for a long time, I've 
actually been playing around 

111
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,240
with the idea of being like, OK,
do I teach people how to have a 

112
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,000
connection? 
And I've had like a, you know, 

113
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,720
for a long time been like making
content about it and stuff, but 

114
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,520
I've never really fully taken 
that plunge. 

115
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,200
And so when I hired my business 
coach, I actually was like, you 

116
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,240
know, this is actually what 
tends to happen and we'll come 

117
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,400
out of it. 
And she validated for me that it

118
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,440
was safe enough for me to 
actually go down that route 

119
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,680
without letting go of 
manifesting Muslim as such. 

120
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,040
That, you know, in, in so many 
words, it was like my intuition 

121
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,240
was calling me towards 
something. 

122
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,400
But for the first time, I was 
questioning if I could allow 

123
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:23,720
myself to go down that path 
because it felt, it's not that 

124
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,080
it, it didn't feel unsafe or 
uncertain or anything like that,

125
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,440
but I felt like, is it too big 
of a step sideways for me to go 

126
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,480
down that route? 
Am I, is my audience going to 

127
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,960
understand it? 
And it was actually during 

128
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:45,000
Ramadan when I did my my series 
for Ramadan that I felt like, 

129
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,560
oh, I can actually do this. 
It's actually OK for me because 

130
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,000
my audience resonates with the 
content still. 

131
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,840
And they, they need it. 
They deeply need it. 

132
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,840
And so that was when I fully was
like, OK, this is going to 

133
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,880
happen. 
So the update in my business is 

134
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:07,320
that now I am far more focused, 
alhamdulillah, on building a 

135
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,640
relationship with Allah. 
But the whole point of what I'm 

136
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,840
trying to say and, and, and 
using myself as an example is, 

137
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,440
is not, you know, to tell you 
about this new update in my 

138
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,320
business, which of course I'm 
very excited about. 

139
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,960
But it's because I want you to 
understand that the, the re 

140
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,360
realignment from Allah, when 
Allah is trying to readjust us 

141
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,560
and he's trying to reposition 
us. 

142
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,679
Sometimes it comes in stages. 
And I wouldn't have come to this

143
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,840
stage had I not first done law 
of attraction from an Islamic 

144
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,720
perspective. 
And I wouldn't have done 

145
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,680
manifestation teachings had I 
not done life coaching in 

146
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:49,120
general. 
That's what I did before I set 

147
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,880
up manifesting Muslim. 
And it was also really great. 

148
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,080
But when I was doing manifesting
law of attraction, I was like, I

149
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,040
really want to do it's, it's 
actually really interesting. 

150
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,200
So I'll give you what it how, 
how it goes. 

151
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,160
I studied journalism. 
I studied journalism in London 

152
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,640
because I thought that's what I 
wanted to do. 

153
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,800
And immediately I was like, 
I've, I feel like I'm just doing

154
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,800
that because it feels like an 
open-ended kind of degree. 

155
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,000
Like I don't have to just go 
into one thing. 

156
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,360
I can do a lot with the degree. 
And so it felt like the least, 

157
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,160
oh, how, how do I there's a 
word, but I can't remember what 

158
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:35,120
the word. 
It just felt like a degree that 

159
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,920
had many possibilities, many 
options open for me. 

160
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,680
And as someone who wasn't quite 
sure what they wanted to do, it 

161
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:43,520
felt like, OK, so I'm not 
locking myself down for just one

162
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,520
thing. 
It's, it's like I've got like a 

163
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,280
wide variety of things I can try
with this degree. 

164
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:54,440
And so while I was studying and 
shortly after I was studying, I 

165
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,800
was doing a lot of internships, 
which is very normal. 

166
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,800
At the time I was living in 
London, so it was very normal 

167
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,160
for people to do internships and
work for free basically. 

168
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,040
And I was like, oh gosh, I don't
want to do any of this. 

169
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:09,040
And in that time, I'd also 
started working out quite a bit.

170
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,600
And as it goes, the person who 
loses a lot of weight and 

171
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,720
changes their life through 
personal training and fitness 

172
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,720
and stuff ends up becoming a 
personal trainer. 

173
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,120
So I was like, oh, let me do 
this. 

174
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,880
So I took a course in personal 
training and I became a personal

175
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,520
trainer. 
And I came and I was very 

176
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,760
adamant, like I wanted to train 
Muslim women. 

177
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,840
So I set up my company at the 
time named The Healthy Hijab, 

178
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,640
and I was training women in 
London, Muslim women 

179
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,360
specifically in London. 
And one thing that happened in 

180
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,560
those seven years was in the 
beginning, it was very much 

181
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,400
fitness and nutrition. 
But as I was getting more 

182
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,640
comfortable with it and working 
with my clientele, I actually 

183
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,320
discovered towards the end of it
that many of my clients were 

184
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,280
coming to me because they were 
just seeking general advice from

185
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,360
me. 
And a lot of my sessions while 

186
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,040
we were still working out and 
doing all of those things, a lot

187
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,480
of my clients were sort of like 
coming me during the sessions 

188
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,400
and was, we're getting a lot 
from me having conversations 

189
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,240
with them. 
And I recognised towards the end

190
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,400
that, oh, maybe I should sort 
of, you know, instead of feel 

191
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:13,120
like I have to sort of do a lot 
of time management, like, yeah, 

192
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,720
OK, like we can definitely talk 
about this. 

193
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,440
But first you need, you need to 
do 15 squats and we got to re 

194
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:19,880
rack the weight. 
And at the same time, we're 

195
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,880
talking about these heavy 
subjects or something, things 

196
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,280
that's going on in their lives 
and stuff. 

197
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,080
I was like, why am I trying to 
balance both things? 

198
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,720
Why don't I just go into one 
thing? 

199
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,920
And I realised, you know what, I
love fitness and nutrition and 

200
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,760
stuff. 
But I could see that there was a

201
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,640
need for women to have someone 
to talk to about these things. 

202
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,400
And that's when I sort of 
pivoted into life coaching, 

203
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,200
Alhamdulillah. 
And I thought, oh, that's it. 

204
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,560
Like I'm just going to do life 
coaching. 

205
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:46,760
But while I was doing life 
coaching was also around the 

206
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,720
time when I fully was leaning 
back into manifesting from a, 

207
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,680
from an Islamic perspective and 
things like that. 

208
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,040
And so I was holding on to this 
idea of like, oh, I really want 

209
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,360
to teach manifesting. 
Like I really want to teach law 

210
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,880
of attraction. 
But women were coming to me at 

211
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,640
the time and I was just sort of 
like a general life coach. 

212
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,280
So I would see again, people 
internationally and coach people

213
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,520
internationally and I would use 
the principles of Islamic law of

214
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:16,680
attraction to coach my clients. 
But I wasn't maybe as vocal in 

215
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:19,840
my marketing or the way that I 
was positioning myself for my 

216
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,720
like I, I never used the words 
manifesting or law of attraction

217
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,520
or anything like that in any of 
the ways that I would advertise 

218
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,200
myself essentially. 
But that's what I wanted to do 

219
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,800
and I felt this pull and the 
desire to do it. 

220
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,840
And so the next step for me was 
like, after I think like a 

221
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,800
couple of years of doing general
life coaching was I think I'm 

222
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,480
going to take the the step now 
and then do the law of 

223
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,080
attraction like become more like
specialised in one thing. 

224
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,120
And that's when I set up 
manifesting Muslim. 

225
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,600
And So what I'm trying to show 
you here in in, in sharing this 

226
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,960
with you is that sometimes what 
happens for us is that we have 

227
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:03,760
an idea that the next thing we 
do is the thing. 

228
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,720
The next person we'll meet is 
the person. 

229
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:12,280
The next venture we go on is the
journey that's going to take us 

230
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,560
all to that thing or the goal or
whatever. 

231
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,360
And sometimes it's just another 
stepping stone. 

232
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,520
Sometimes it's not so much about
it being the destination as it 

233
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,600
is a part of your growth and 
learning in order for you to 

234
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,760
eventually get to where it is 
that you're meant to go. 

235
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,120
Now, I don't know if this next 
venture that I've just recently 

236
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,960
stepped into about teaching 
people about how to reconnect 

237
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,360
and develop their relationship 
with a lost panel to Allah is 

238
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:45,680
the final destination for me. 
But it feels very, I was going 

239
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:47,680
to say wholesome, but that's not
the word. 

240
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:51,440
But sort of like it feels very 
fulfilling in a way that none of

241
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,040
the other things have so far. 
Because I think that through 

242
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,000
everything so far with my 
teachings, even to the point, 

243
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,000
you know, where I was doing, you
know, like health and nutrition 

244
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,600
and training, everything I was 
trying to get my clients to come

245
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,800
back to was this relationship 
with Allah. 

246
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,040
But I didn't know it back then. 
And I've been able to grow with 

247
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,720
it in. 
Oh, my God. 

248
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,000
How long has it been at this 
point? 

249
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,040
Like 12 years since 2014. 
Yeah, 12 years. 

250
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,560
So in 12 years I've been able to
grow and specify slowly but 

251
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,040
surely, and understand what it 
is that I appreciate, what it is

252
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,400
that I'm good at, where I need 
more guidance, information, 

253
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,640
knowledge, whatever it is that I
may need. 

254
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,800
And I wouldn't have known that 
in 2014 because I wasn't even 

255
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,600
there myself in 2014. 
So of course, I couldn't have 

256
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,600
taught what I teach today. 
I couldn't even have taught what

257
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,040
I taught three years ago when I 
started manifesting Muslim. 

258
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,720
But it's the trusting in the 
evolution of the redirection 

259
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,760
from Alas Pano Atala, instead of
just making assumptions that he 

260
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,400
will give you the end goal to 
begin with. 

261
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,040
Instead of just like believing 
and hoping that he's just going 

262
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,080
to give you that bit where I'm 
just going to stay here forever 

263
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,480
and I don't need to upgrade up 
level, relearn anything or 

264
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,000
educate myself. 
This is it. 

265
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,000
And that's just not how it works
with a re re. 

266
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,480
When Allah is trying to 
reposition us in life, he does 

267
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,160
it gently because he knows us. 
He knows what he created and 

268
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,720
while we are, you know, in 
Allah's own words, the best of 

269
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,720
creation, we are also and I, I, 
I will stand by this. 

270
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,680
We're still very dumb, dumb 
creatures because we have 

271
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,600
enough. 
So we've got parts of our knives

272
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,280
that are stuck in, in silly 
things. 

273
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:40,120
And some of those silly things 
are, you know, what will society

274
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,760
say? 
What will my partner say? 

275
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,320
What is that going to mean for 
my finances, even if it is 

276
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,600
temporarily, you know, are 
people going to like it? 

277
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,200
Are people going to dislike it? 
What, you know, what's my mom 

278
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,560
going to think, you know, all of
those things. 

279
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,640
And and so sometimes when Allah 
is trying to reposition us, we, 

280
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,160
we get stuck in these like parts
of our lower Nefs that holds us 

281
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,800
back that that makes us not 
trust that this is just another 

282
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,960
step into the right direction. 
Allah is doing it gently because

283
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,040
we need to have it done gently. 
If he moved us too quickly, we 

284
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,600
wouldn't be able to keep keep up
with it. 

285
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,880
So it's not that Allah is 
incapable of giving us the thing

286
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,000
immediately or changing our life
from one night from one day to 

287
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,000
the other. 
It's that we are incapable of of

288
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,800
that kind of change. 
We're incapable of positioning 

289
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,000
ourselves favourably, mentally, 
spiritually, if that kind of 

290
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,200
change happens. 
And so when he's repositioning 

291
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,920
us, stop thinking about this 
sort of like this has to be the 

292
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,520
next thing I have to survive in 
this. 

293
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,160
This has to be the the there has
to be longevity in it. 

294
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,240
There has because maybe Allah 
doesn't want that for this 

295
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,800
particular next chapter for your
life. 

296
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,520
And maybe what Allah wants for 
you in this particular next 

297
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,200
chapter of your life is for you 
to learn one lesson in that 

298
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,320
chapter. 
And this the moment you learn 

299
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,440
that lesson, he can now elevate 
you to the next step and the 

300
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,240
next step and the next step. 
And eventually, in short, like 

301
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,280
get you to that point where 
you're like, ah, now I feel like

302
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,079
I'm closer to something that 
feels more purposely me, like 

303
00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:17,640
I'm actually living in the 
purpose of what I was meant to 

304
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,400
do. 
But you wouldn't have been able 

305
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,440
to do it had you not taken every
single one of those steps on 

306
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,200
that path. 
And so when he is trying to 

307
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:31,200
realign you, stop fighting it, 
stop asking so many questions of

308
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,160
of like, but it's not the thing 
that I want. 

309
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,320
And this is this is something 
that I hear so often, but this 

310
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,240
isn't what I want. 
Like I want this other thing. 

311
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,800
Yes, OK, I get that. 
So do I. 

312
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,880
I would love to already, you 
know, we're talking 14 years 

313
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:52,040
into to, to this an evolution of
where I am today in my business.

314
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,760
I would love to already by now 
have, you know, my own home that

315
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,920
I own where I can run retreats 
and all of these things, but I'm

316
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,560
not there yet. 
So I'm trusting that Allah will 

317
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,880
facilitate that kind of 
evolution in my business. 

318
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,840
First of all, if it's the right 
thing for me, but also when I'm 

319
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,040
ready to hold it and to be in it
and to have the kind of energy 

320
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:17,640
to hold people in my home and do
retreats, which it requires a 

321
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,120
lot from people to be able to do
and host. 

322
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,200
There's like this one fly and it
keeps like flying around me. 

323
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,640
I have had a shower, so I don't 
know what maybe it's because I 

324
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,160
smell a little bit like flowers 
and I'm wearing this blue dress.

325
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,000
So it's thinking maybe I'm a big
flower. 

326
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,600
I'm going to, I'm going to say 
to myself, and that's why it 

327
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,520
keeps hovering around me and not
because I stink or something. 

328
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:44,360
Anyway, sorry, I completely 
threw myself off what I was 

329
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:48,840
saying. 
Maybe I did say what I needed to

330
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,480
say. 
No, I didn't. 

331
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,120
I feel like there's more. 
There's more. 

332
00:18:52,360 --> 00:19:00,960
There's more to be said, yes. 
So when, when Allah wants us to 

333
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,480
go in a different direction, 
when he's trying to be like, 

334
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,160
yeah, yeah, yeah, you've got the
right end of the stick, but 

335
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,520
there's still some things that 
need to to happen. 

336
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:13,680
Stop focusing on that final 
outcome necessarily that you 

337
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,560
might think you have an idea of,
because that might not even be 

338
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,120
the right outcome. 
It might be that you still have 

339
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:22,160
to grow with your own vision of 
what it is that you need, and 

340
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,160
you will only be able to grow 
with that vision as you learn by

341
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,760
taking each step at a time. 
You know, each stepping stone 

342
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,160
has to be stepped on and lived 
on for a little bit bit before 

343
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,840
and then learn what you need to 
learn from it before you can 

344
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,520
move on to the next one. 
And as you move on to the next 

345
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,720
one, now you have more 
knowledge, some baggage with you

346
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,640
that you can, that can help you 
establish yourself more in that 

347
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,720
stepping stone and change 
potentially the outcome of the 

348
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,720
next stepping stone. 
So when I first started, for 

349
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:58,400
instance, like at some point, I 
don't know, like, well, at the 

350
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,760
beginning it was like, oh, I 
want to, Oh my gosh, who 

351
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,840
remembers? 
Kayla, it's Cenus. 

352
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,320
It's Cenus. 
I don't know how to pronounce 

353
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,080
her name. 
For those of you who are like in

354
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,240
the fitness world, back in 2014,
Instagram 2014, fifteen, 16, 

355
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,600
that kind of era, she was the 
fitness it girl. 

356
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:15,880
And I was like, I don't want to 
beat that. 

357
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,240
But the Muslim version, I'm so 
happy Allah didn't listen to me 

358
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,080
at that point. 
She was the bikini body, the 

359
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,560
bikini body girl, I can't 
remember. 

360
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,360
And so I had my programme called
the Bikini Body Boot Camp and 

361
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:32,840
that was like group, group boot 
camps and stuff. 

362
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,240
It was good fun and whatever, 
but I'm so glad that I didn't 

363
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:40,720
become the bikini body face or 
something because now of course 

364
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,520
I can see that I was never meant
to go down that path. 

365
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,840
But at that time, you know, when
that didn't happen, I, you know,

366
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,720
I wanted a completely different,
I had a completely different 

367
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,360
idea of my direction in life and
what my purpose was. 

368
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,960
And then I became, you know, I 
started doing other things and 

369
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,800
then I was like, oh, maybe it 
has to do with this. 

370
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,000
Maybe it has to do that. 
But every step of the way, my 

371
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,840
version and my idea of the goal 
and the outcome of all of these 

372
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,600
things also ended up being more 
and more refined. 

373
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,080
And I handily love for that. 
You know, I handily love for 

374
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,960
that because Allah is not doing 
it for for him. 

375
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,760
You know, he's doing it for us 
because he's trying to direct us

376
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,720
towards him. 
But it's up to us to listen to 

377
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,200
the direction that fly. 
I know that you're seeing it. 

378
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,440
Those of you who are watching 
the video, you can see it and it

379
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:36,880
is. 
It's like it wants to kiss me 

380
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,960
and then it goes. 
You see those tick tocks where 

381
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,520
it's like Zuma, and then it 
flies away. 

382
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,680
It just did that to me anyway, 
chronically online over here. 

383
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,080
But yeah, so trusting in that 
the redirection may be slow, 

384
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:53,360
that it comes in stages, but 
have somebody with it trust in 

385
00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:57,640
every single stage of it, even 
if that next stage isn't exactly

386
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,800
where you want to go. 
It is just another step in the 

387
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,000
right direction. 
That is all it is. 

388
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,120
Just take that, you know, right 
swing, just hold to the left. 

389
00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:08,240
Just do the thing that the GPS 
is telling you. 

390
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,720
And in this case, the GPS is a 
lost panel to highlight and 

391
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,080
trust that the good thing will 
come at the end of it. 

392
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:16,160
And it's not because you know, 
and it could be, you know that 

393
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,000
the next right swing is going to
be, you know, your destination, 

394
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,760
but it could also just be it's 
just another stop to get, that's

395
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,720
your destination. 
It's just another petrol station

396
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,720
where you need to pee, pee and 
eat something to fuel up and 

397
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,680
then get on your journey again. 
I don't know how I got into a 

398
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:36,240
whole metaphor around, I don't 
know, driving, but here we are. 

399
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,240
So we're going to accept it, but
but ultimately trust in it. 

400
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,640
Have patience with your own 
journey, have patience with 

401
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,920
yourself, have patience with a 
loss redirection, have patience 

402
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,880
with his repositioning you. 
He's doing it at the pace he 

403
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,560
knows you can follow and 
understand and learn from and 

404
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,440
grow from and get the absolute 
best results from. 

405
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,800
But the more you dig in your 
heels and like, no, I want what 

406
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,600
I want when I want it, the 
harder it'll be for you to 

407
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,520
appreciate the stages that 
you're in for what they are, 

408
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,440
learn from it, and then move on 
from it. 

409
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:13,320
Because if you're not picking up
what always putting down all is 

410
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,880
not gonna be like, well, I guess
we'll just ignore this step and 

411
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,160
just elevate you to the top. 
He's gonna be, well, I'm gonna 

412
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,560
keep you in that stage until you
pick it up. 

413
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,600
I'm gonna keep you there, 
prolonging that version of you 

414
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,760
or this stage of your life until
you learn what it is I need for 

415
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,400
you to learn before I move you 
on to that next step. 

416
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,640
So instead of fighting it, 
except where you are, except 

417
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,360
that the next step might not be 
again the full vision of the 

418
00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:40,880
idea of the outcome that you 
have, but it might just be 

419
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,800
another step closer to it. 
And trust in His plan above your

420
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,720
own. 
But that is essentially what it 

421
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,680
is. 
So yeah, my content here on on 

422
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,760
the podcast or anything like 
that, it's not going to change. 

423
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,720
It's like it's pretty much going
to stay the same. 

424
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,200
Because especially here on my 
podcast, I do talk about a lot 

425
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,320
of subjects. 
I will still talk about law of 

426
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,480
attraction from an Islamic 
perspective because I love it. 

427
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:07,400
And if I can prevent someone 
from going down a path of shirk 

428
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,440
because they don't know how to 
practise law of attraction from 

429
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,320
a healthy place or an Islamic 
place, then that will be great. 

430
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,640
I love that, but it's in my 
hair. 

431
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,760
Did you see it? 
It was sat right there. 

432
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,760
Oh, that flight is annoying me 
right now. 

433
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,960
It's the season. 
It's the season, my guys. 

434
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,200
It's the season. 
We're coming into the season now

435
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,800
where it's. 
It doesn't help that I'm 

436
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,920
literally creating a whole 
ecosystem outside my front door 

437
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,760
and my makeshift garden. 
I get so many flowers and I love

438
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,200
it. 
But stay outside. 

439
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,600
Don't come inside. 
I never invited you inside. 

440
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,440
You can stay outside in the 
garden. 

441
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,520
That's what I got the garden 
for. 

442
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,520
But of course they, they just 
got to disrespect and move 

443
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,080
inside and that's what they do. 
Those flies. 

444
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,200
Some of some of my friends pray 
for me. 

445
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,360
OK? 
I can't remember now if I was 

446
00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:03,280
going to say something else, but
I I trust that what I needed to 

447
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,960
say has been said. 
If you're interested in what it 

448
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,640
is that I'm going to do now or 
what it is that I've sort of 

449
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,240
like transitioned to, then go 
and check out the link in the 

450
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,840
description of the podcast My 
Standstill. 

451
00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:22,280
I now do one-on-one coaching on 
rebuilding your relationship 

452
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,520
with Alas Panama Tahala and 
creating a relationship with him

453
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,120
where you thrive in this Stunya 
rather than one where you keep 

454
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:33,600
questioning yourself, your 
position, the next step in your 

455
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,720
redirection, the the test that 
you're going through, so on and 

456
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,840
so forth. 
I'm very excited about it and I 

457
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,520
hope you are as well, and I hope
you'll continue to tune into the

458
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,520
podcast. 
As I said, there's not going to 

459
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,960
be a big change in the content 
that I make at all anywhere 

460
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,400
really, except now maybe more of
it will be more directed 

461
00:25:55,400 --> 00:26:00,840
towards, you know, more, more 
sort of focused intentionally on

462
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,840
creating a good relationship 
with Alas, Pan with Alan. 

463
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,200
It is definitely something I 
think all of us need reminding 

464
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,960
of, you know, even those of us 
who coach in it. 

465
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,960
We're not perfect. 
All right, my darling, thank you

466
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,280
so much for tuning into another 
episode of the podcast. 

467
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,560
I super appreciate you and I 
hope I will see you for next 

468
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,560
week's episode of Shot Love. 
But until then, my darling 

469
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,960
friend, please don't forget to 
live in love.
