All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. And peace and blessings be upon you, the most honored of the prophets, Muhammad and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and upon his family and companions. And many blessings. Now brothers and sisters, somebody asked me to speak to some college students about so-called secrets of success in life. I say so-called because nothing is secret, everything is public. It's just that some people just don't get it. Like some people don't get what's in the face. Right? Not because it's secret. Because most of the time you don't want to see it. So for those of you who want to know this secret of success, let me share it with you. It's very simple. I want you to remember three letters. Three letters. I, A and D. I, A, D. I stands for investment. A stands for abundance. And D stands for discipline. Investment mindset. A mindset of abundance. And A, the ability to discipline yourself. I, A, D. In the words of Vincent Lombardi, who is the director of the University of New York, in the words of Vincent Lombardi, who is a great coach of the Chicago Green Bay Packers, the team. He is a wonderful coach, wonderful coach for him. One of his quotes which I love the most, he says, the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary. The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary. And that's the truest word ever spoken. So three things. Investment mindset. Just think in terms of your life, think in terms of anything. If you want to get something, you have to give something. This is the rule Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mailed. If you want to get something, you have to give something. If you want a good harvest, you have to plant the seed. Without planting the seed, and before planting the seed, tilling the field, cleaning it of all kinds of toxic substances and insects and pathogens, right? Making the soil friable and smooth, then making arrangements for irrigation and so on and so on and so on, all that is required for agriculture, and then planting the seed. If you don't do all of this, you will not get a harvest. You will not get a harvest. You say, no, no, no, I am going to go and on this field I will pray tahajjud every day. You can pray tahajjud until where you make sajda become the hole in the ground, nothing will happen. In la mashaAllah Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala can bring water out of a rock. Allah told us He brought water out of a rock. But that is the will of Allah. That happens when Allah wants to show the world something. It won't happen because of you and me. If you want a good harvest, you have to plant. If you want a good marriage, you have to first find the right person and then invest in that. Part of that investment is to take, I am trying to think of something which has more than four letters to describe what you have to take. What you have to take, right? From that spouse, you have to take something which as I said, try to find something which has more than four letters in it. There is no other way. Believe me, there is no other way. If you have in this mind of yours that you are going to marry this man or this woman who is complete, you know, absolute essence of goodness, then think of Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam. The wives of Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam not only had problems with him, but Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam revealed Quran. In surah al-ahzab, Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, if you don't like to be the wives of my nabi, I will tell him to let you go. And I will give him better than you. Something as serious as that. Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam kept himself away for a month from all his wives. So if you think that because you are such a wonderful human being, I agree with you, but I am not married to you,
