| 0:04.1 | Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh |
| 0:10.1 | Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim al Hamdu billah wa salatu wa salamu ala Rasulillahir wa Ala Ali |
| 0:16.1 | wa As-Kabhih-Main |
| 0:18.1 | We praise Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, we send blessings and salutations upon Muhammad |
| 0:23.1 | Salallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, his household, his companions, we ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala |
| 0:29.1 | to bless them all and we ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to bless every single one of you |
| 0:35.1 | and the Ummah at large, our offspring, those to come up to the end may Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala keep them steadfast on the deed |
| 0:43.1 | My brothers and sisters, it is very important for us to keep on asking ourselves why were we created? |
| 0:52.1 | Why were we made? Why did Allah make me? Why do I have eyes? Why do I have ears? Why my hands? Why this body? |
| 1:02.1 | Why do I have to work hard in order to eat? It is very important question because if we were lazy, we would not be able to afford life. |
| 1:16.1 | So in order to live and enjoy life, you have to work. And this work is not easy, it is very difficult. Some people work whole day and they only live during the weekend. |

| 1:49.1 | Why did Allah make it so difficult for us? Just to be alive Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, that is a very interesting question. |
