Muslim Mastery Breakthroughs

Lack of Love is the real cause of inner emptiness, we will talk about the Perfect Love and how it can complete your life and make it beautiful. We will also discuss who you should trust more: technology or human, and how that almost caused tension between a couple. This is also our last episode covering the gems from the great book The Disease and the Cure by Ibn Al Qayyum.

This week we will be talking about how to understand our actions and desires based on the foundational and most powerful emotion of Love. We will also complete the picture by discussing how Love is impacted by sound or weak intellect, knowledge and desires.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. The horse riding lessons that I have been taking my coach always reminds me of two things, correct your horse as soon as she deviates from your intended route or speed. The longer you wait the more deviated you are and the harder it is to correct or speed up. Another thing my coach tells me is to be aware of areas where the horse is likely to slow down or not do what you want her to do. As you know those areas you can be prepared to correct her as she slows down or deviates. This is very important for us to know about our own weaknesses which places, people and environment tend to make us fall and how we can either avoid those places or be extra cautious there. Our breakthrough idea for this week is all about minding and watching your steps.

Have you ever been in a situation where you had access to investors or experts from various fields BUT you could not make personal connections because of lack of confidence, not knowing what to say, how to say, where to start or you were busy focusing on less important parts of the events such as food and desserts. To really take advantage of such rare opportunities it is extremely important for you to understand your strengths and weaknesses and have a strategy tailored for you to make the best use of these magnificent moments. What we mean by magnificent moments and blessed times are times and places where a little effort from you can get you massive success and they are too precious of moments to be wasted. This week's breakthrough idea is a collection of strategies for a variety of different states and stages. We will be focusing on special blessed moments to improve our relationship with Allah, get close to him, increase the love of him but similar things can be applied to other less important areas of life.

When your car makes weird noise you pay attention right? Well, guess what! What you say, what you don't say and what you try to say but can't say can give you a lot of profound insight about you. For this week our breakthrough idea is around the power of words from various angles. The area that will be a breakthrough idea for many is if you hear yourself it will tell you a lot about all the reasons you are not making the progress you want to make in all areas, whether it be your relations, emotions, motivation, inspiration, actions or even physical health. We will also discuss how you can avoid harming others by your words whether it be spiritual, emotional or mental. On a related note, we talked about the powerful filters on our sight in episode 22 and filters for thoughts in episode 23. We talked about how they can have a huge impact on your emotions, inspirations, motivation and actions.

What type or which quality of food will you NOT eat? What type or which quality of clothing will you not wear in public? This week's breakthrough idea is all about filter controls for thoughts. Many of us have different filters and criteria for what we will eat, who we will invite at our homes, whose home we will go to, what kind of clothes and brands we will put on our bodies in public. Most of us are conscious about what apps we download in our phones, which videos and photos we keep on our phones and if we are not then we learn our lesson pretty quickly when we have to pause and clean our phones because the storage is too full with media and unnecessary apps are slowing down the phone, but are very open and flexible when it comes to which thoughts and ideas we will give our mindshare to, and are very unaware which thoughts and ideas become permanent residents of our hearts.

Without trust you have nothing. With it you can do great things. Today's breakthrough ideas are around spouses dealing with trust issues, suspected cheating spouse or a confirmed cheating spouse. How to process this tragedy and how to move on. We will also look into who gets to define sexual morality for us. What does it have to with spirituality and various levels bad destructive behavior can be intercepted.

The breakthrough idea for this week is that once the intention is right, the destination is clear, one can be slow, inconsistent, lazy, unskilled or distracted and still get to the destination but there is nothing worse than not having the strategy right. We will see how this principle applies in all areas of life. We will also talk about the different love languages or appreciation languages, how misguidance and unqualified advisors can mess up the strategy for you and I will also share with you my story about the most embarrassing reason I had to cancel my flight to one of the destinations and take a flight back to the UK.

The breakthrough idea for this week is that the quality of our expectations can dramatically change our actions and emotions in all areas of our lives and in all relations. This is really amazing, we will give you several examples, evidence and end with seven profound questions about your expectations that will give you a deep insight about why you feel and act the way that you do and what needs to change.

Sometimes you just have to go outside of the norms and learn things from scratch. Last week we used the guinea worm problem and talked about how our reactions help us with temporary relief but are getting us more of unwanted behaviour and less of the desired behaviour. For this week's relationship breakthrough idea we will share a fundamental issue that breaks apart relationships. We will share it using lessons from horsemanship. For our spiritual section, one of the questions that people have is that as Allah is so merciful and his mercy precedes and prevails over his anger, then how come the sin of "Shirk" is not forgiven, we will be sharing some breakthrough ideas on this topic to have a deeper look at what's so special about Shirk. We will also summarize how eliminating it from our life would really empower us, and help us achieve a sound hear and living in an amazing state in this world as well as the hereafter.
