## Transcript
**[0:00]** Everyone has a different path to Allah. By Zuhair Abdurrahman and Nazir Khan. Imam Malik was once asked why he was busy in circles of knowledge and not other aspects of Islam. He replied, Certainly, Allah has divided good actions like he has divided his providence, rizq.

**[0:18]** It may be that prayer has been facilitated for a person, but fasting hasn't. Another person may have a tendency for charity, but not fasting. And I am happy with what Allah has facilitated for me, the pursuit of knowledge. I don't think what I am focused on is lower than what you are focused on.

**[0:36]** Rather, I hope that we are both upon goodness and righteousness. Ibn Taymiyyah said about this topic, What is prescribed, mushroor, is that everyone acts according to what they are capable of goodness. Have taqwa of Allah as much as you are able. So when the branches of faith become crowded, a

**[0:55]** person proceeds with what is most pleasing to God by acting according to what he is most capable of.
