I pray for people's health.

I pray for people's ability to provide for themselves and their loved ones.

in a way that allows them to have dignity and feel good about it.

And the third thing that I always pray for everyone is for them to be brought closer to their purpose.

I always say, God, bring me close to my purpose.

because that's a way of bringing me closer to myself, as you intend, and also closer to you.

Your purpose, I think, your path, is something that is extremely personal, but also divine.

And so alignment to our path, to our purpose, there's this phrase in Islam, the Sirat al-Mustaqeen, which is the straight path.

People interpret that in different ways, but for me it's about finding your path, the path that's intended for you.

So, yeah man, your health,

your ability to provide and your path.

I love that.

Have you been to Mecca before?

Is that the first time?

No, I went once when I was 15, but it was a different experience.

I went older and actually from a more spiritually skeptical place, you know, how life throws you around and you kind of ask questions.

And we went this December and both me and my wife went with openness.

And I would say, you know, we are Muslim and we have spirituality in our lives, but we also feel often that organized religion

And the way that it's used is definitely brought some skepticism into our hearts as well.

And going there was incredible.
