| 0:04.1 | Peace of advice for all those who are going through blocked, you know, passages and closed doors. |
| 0:09.1 | Please try your best within the capacity given to you by Allah if it is still closed set yourself a little deadline and move on. |
| 0:17.8 | You have to close the door. You know, you talk about marrying people. |
