The things that I used to do to protect my faith a year ago may not be the same practices that will protect my faith now, because I'm not the same person because you

might find the things that used to work when you were 18 are not working now.

You see what I'm saying? Because you're not the same person. So you need new things

and that's it's different for different people. So this session that I had was that the closer you get to this religion and the closer you get to Allah, you get more

wisdom and they get worse and worse. So what would be your advice for that? How do you

deal with that? And the second one is how do you guide

your parents because they are your elders and you don't have a lot of influence over them but they have a lot of influence

over you so if you for example criticize them or you tell them hey you should

be praying more we should be reading the Quran more they can go around

until you you're gonna tell me I'm your father, I've been doing this for, you know, as long as I remember.

Yeah, you're right. So how do you do that?

So on the first question about as you get closer to Allah you get more whispers and

you're you're more tempted and you're more distracted and Chaitan attacks you more

just my understanding of this Allahuam, is that we go through different phases in our life and

we change as people. So I'm not actually the same person I was last year. I'm a different person. And the things that I used to do to protect my faith a year ago

may not be the same practices that will protect my faith now because I'm not the same person. So a strong sense of self-awareness

it'll make me realize what what strategies are going to be more effective now?

Because you might find the things that used to work when you were 18 are not working now.

You see what I'm saying?

Because you're not the same person.

So you need new things.
