0:00.0	So the other day I was with a friend and I was scrolling through Instagram and Facebook. And my friend just happens to be a revert and they were like, oh my goodness, what's with all these pictures of Muslims in front of Christmas trees and even they have Christmas trees in their house and they have Santa hats and they're doing selfies and they're they're sharing Christmas songs she said I left
0:39.5	Islam and I left Christmas and all of the the jahiliah behind me all of the the non-Islamic practices

1:51.5	How about you guys?
1:52.3	How are you guys doing?

1:56.0	And I feel like no matter how many things I do, I never quite chip away.
2:00.2	Like I think this weekend it was just mounds of laundry because I decided to, like every
2:05.1	once in a while because I tried to do more of a minimalistic type lifestyle, not just because
2:10.2	it's like trendy, but because it's actually really an Islamic practice.
