Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa

00:00:03 --> 00:00:07

salatu salam ala so you didn't mursaleen while he was so happy

00:00:07 --> 00:00:07

Germaine

00:00:09 --> 00:00:14

a Mobarak call Allahu Tada I feel Quran in Nigeria will for carnal

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

Hamid

00:00:16 --> 00:00:20

Allah in earlier Allah He has often led him wander home

00:00:20 --> 00:00:24

yesterday noon. So the Kola hula team in Sharla. What I want to

00:00:24 --> 00:00:31

cover very briefly today is that generally when we going through

00:00:31 --> 00:00:36

life, normally, there's always going to be things that we lose

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

once in a while, nothing goes always perfectly, we have the best

00:00:39 --> 00:00:43

product sometimes. And even that gives up, you buy something very

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46

new, and then something happens to that you get a job and then

00:00:46 --> 00:00:50

sometimes you lose that job. So there's many things that can go

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

wrong in this world. And we've probably had enough experience in

00:00:53 --> 00:00:57

this world to show that many many things go wrong and not everything

00:00:57 --> 00:01:01

goes always 100%. Right. hamdulillah many things do go

00:01:01 --> 00:01:04

right. But that's the nature of the world. And I think we have to

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08

come to terms with that. That's the nature of the world. What

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11

really helps to come to terms with that, because it's a reality. It

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

we'd rather come to terms with it and deal with it than to get

00:01:15 --> 00:01:19

really upset and grieve over it each time because if we get upset

00:01:19 --> 00:01:23

and we grieve over it each time, then that's just that much more

00:01:23 --> 00:01:27

grief for no reason. So what I want to speak about today is what

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31

the scholars have called Hossam fie Amrit duniya herzan family

00:01:31 --> 00:01:35

dunya, which is basically grief over a worldly matter, grief over

00:01:35 --> 00:01:39

a worldly matter. And the way they define that is they say that grief

00:01:39 --> 00:01:44

over a worldly matter is when you feel pain and sorrow for not

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

attaining a particular material blessing.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52

We don't feel we feel very sorrowful we feel really bad that

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55

we didn't get a particular material blessing, not a spiritual

00:01:55 --> 00:01:59

blessing, that it's completely fine and probably encouraged to

00:01:59 --> 00:02:03

feel grief over that I couldn't wake up for tahajud today, I

00:02:03 --> 00:02:08

couldn't do all of my prayers today. I have Kazaa and make a

00:02:08 --> 00:02:12

press to still make I need to still make more prayers. So all of

00:02:12 --> 00:02:16

these things are considered to be for the sake of Allah subhanaw

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

taala and to feel grief over that is only going to encourage us to

00:02:19 --> 00:02:23

inshallah do better make us feel remorseful and remorse is

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

important for Toba. Without Remorse you can't have Toba. So if

00:02:26 --> 00:02:29

we don't feel grief that we have not attained something of the

00:02:29 --> 00:02:33

Akira, something related to Allah, then that's actually a bad thing.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:38

But if we keep feeling really grievous, not over religious,

00:02:38 --> 00:02:42

losing religious things, but losing a worldly things,

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

especially when we're looking at others and what they haven't we

00:02:45 --> 00:02:48

don't have, or something that we wanted to get, and we didn't get.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:53

So it's the feel that a person a feel the pain and the sorrow that

00:02:53 --> 00:02:56

a person feels of not attaining some kind of material blessings.

00:02:57 --> 00:03:03

And the opposite of that the opposite of that is, too, or

00:03:03 --> 00:03:06

actually another problem that comes with that is that a person

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09

gets so excited when they actually do get it because if you're going

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

to be upset, if you don't get something, then when you do get

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15

it, you're going to be overly excited. Now, there's nothing

00:03:15 --> 00:03:18

wrong with getting excited when you get something. If Allah gives

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21

you a new car, if he gives you a child, it gives you a nice house

00:03:21 --> 00:03:25

gives you a nice dress gives you a nice husband to marry. Right? A

00:03:25 --> 00:03:30

nice spouse, whatever Hamdulillah you know, whatever Allah subhanaw

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

taala gives you, you can be excited about that you can thank

00:03:33 --> 00:03:37

Allah subhanaw taala for that you can be you can show your

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

gratitude. But if you get overly excited about it, then that's a

00:03:40 --> 00:03:44

problem because we shouldn't be so overly excited about the dunya.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:49

Excitement is fine, but over excitement, which is if you don't

00:03:49 --> 00:03:53

get it you you would end up being sorrowful it's the same two

00:03:53 --> 00:03:58

extremes that need to be avoided. That's why the Scholars they

00:03:58 --> 00:04:02

explained that the reason for both of these problems where you feel

00:04:02 --> 00:04:06

extreme sense of sorrow and sadness when you lose something of

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

the dunya, or

00:04:08 --> 00:04:12

over happiness, when you get something good is basically love

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

of the dunya

00:04:14 --> 00:04:20

love of the dunya and number two, expecting that we will attain

00:04:20 --> 00:04:24

every one of our desires. Now you might say what's wrong with

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

attaining every one of our desires.

00:04:27 --> 00:04:33

What's wrong with attaining every one of our desires is we may hope

00:04:33 --> 00:04:37

to have them but if we feel we must have them then that means we

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40

are challenging Allah subhanaw taala to say we know what's best

00:04:40 --> 00:04:41

for ourself.

00:04:42 --> 00:04:46

Now if we always keep it in our mind, that I do want things

00:04:46 --> 00:04:51

because I have to plan for my own self and my own future. And I have

00:04:51 --> 00:04:55

to want things of what I think will be beneficial for me, both in

00:04:55 --> 00:04:58

this world like a business like house or whatever, which is fine.

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

But if we feel

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

Allah, it must happen the way that I have decided it. And if it

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

doesn't, I'm going to get really upset, then that means we don't

00:05:07 --> 00:05:12

understand that Allah knows better than us. And Allah subhanaw taala

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14

doesn't give everything to everybody.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:19

Because there are so many other people that may be affected by

00:05:19 --> 00:05:23

what we get what we want to get, and it may not be healthy for

00:05:23 --> 00:05:28

them. So Allah doesn't give it to us. Unless it's a case where we,

00:05:28 --> 00:05:31

Allah gives it to us. Other people are harmed by it, and then we're

00:05:31 --> 00:05:35

sinful because of it. So that's a possibility. But then NASA either

00:05:35 --> 00:05:39

that's not that's not an atma. If Allah gives us something by which

00:05:39 --> 00:05:43

we oppress others, trouble others, cause problem to others than is

00:05:43 --> 00:05:48

that thing and atma. How can that thing be a bounty, it's only a

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

bounty if we get it. And we use it in a right and sound way, in a

00:05:51 --> 00:05:54

healthy way, in a useful way, in a beneficial way, we don't harm

00:05:54 --> 00:05:58

anybody with it. So whatever we have decided we want in this life,

00:05:58 --> 00:06:01

and whatever we decide we want in this life, that's fine. It's good

00:06:01 --> 00:06:06

to have ambitions and goals. But to be really upset if we don't get

00:06:06 --> 00:06:09

all of them. That is the problem. Because we also have to understand

00:06:09 --> 00:06:13

that Allah is the ultimate planner, ultimate decider,

00:06:13 --> 00:06:18

ultimate administrator of this world. And he will give it to us

00:06:18 --> 00:06:23

according to what is beneficial, and conducive, and appropriate and

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

suitable for the whole world to work the way he wants it to work.

00:06:26 --> 00:06:29

That's why Allah doesn't give us things when we ask for him

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

straight away, because it may not be appropriate for us to have them

00:06:32 --> 00:06:35

right now, maybe it might be appropriate next year, or maybe

00:06:35 --> 00:06:36

after five years, or maybe never.

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

Because Allah knows all of these things, he knows the Unseen. So

00:06:42 --> 00:06:45

this problem of feeling really upset when you don't get

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

something. And there's a lot of us who feel like that, they get

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

really upset, and they cry forever, as people who wanted to

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

get married to somebody, but it broke off.

00:06:55 --> 00:07:00

And they upset, just move on, you have to move on. Otherwise, you

00:07:00 --> 00:07:04

will feel upset that the therapy of it is to move on the solution.

00:07:04 --> 00:07:09

That's why this stems from love of the world and expecting attainment

00:07:09 --> 00:07:14

of every one of every one of our aims, and continuation of all of

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

one's blessings. And that is going to be pure ignorance because

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18

that's not the way the world works.

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21

It's just not the way the world works.

00:07:22 --> 00:07:27

Instead of that one should have ideas about what they want into

00:07:27 --> 00:07:33

the world, but their main focus, and all of this concern, and all

00:07:33 --> 00:07:36

of this sorrow and sadness, which humans may have Emotionally

00:07:36 --> 00:07:41

Focused on religious works, that if I don't do this religious work

00:07:41 --> 00:07:44

if I don't help out in this project, for the benefit of the

00:07:44 --> 00:07:47

poor or the needy or something, if I don't help out in the masjid, If

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49

I don't help out with the children, If I don't help out in

00:07:49 --> 00:07:52

the community, if I don't donate this money if I don't make this

00:07:52 --> 00:07:56

much Salah if I am not able to cover up if I'm not able to

00:07:56 --> 00:08:02

observe chastity modesty. If I'm not able to avoid sin, then I must

00:08:02 --> 00:08:06

be very unhappy. That's completely fine to become unhappy for unless

00:08:06 --> 00:08:10

it leads one to despondency. That's an extreme. We can't become

00:08:10 --> 00:08:14

hopeless of Allah's mercy. Shaytan will also try to abuse this kind

00:08:14 --> 00:08:18

of a feeling by making us so upset. When we don't have

00:08:18 --> 00:08:21

something even from the Akira that He will make us feel we're good

00:08:21 --> 00:08:24

for nothing. We can't get forgiveness. We are doomed for

00:08:24 --> 00:08:28

hellfire. So that's a problem as well. So these are all traps of

00:08:28 --> 00:08:32

the shaytaan around, but the place to be is in the middle. The place

00:08:32 --> 00:08:38

to be is that we are if there's anything that we put all of our

00:08:38 --> 00:08:42

focus on, then that should be for the Bathia to solely heart.

00:08:43 --> 00:08:48

Remember that word alberca asylee hats, which are basically the

00:08:48 --> 00:08:53

immortal good deeds, perpetual good deeds, the good deeds which

00:08:53 --> 00:08:57

will remain forever, the good deeds that will go and come with

00:08:57 --> 00:09:02

us beyond this world. How many of those are we putting together? How

00:09:02 --> 00:09:03

much have we got in our balance?

00:09:05 --> 00:09:10

Allah subhana wa Tada says, Li Kala, so either Mr. Furter come

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12

What a tough Rahu Bhima Terkel

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

so that you do not

00:09:16 --> 00:09:21

grieve over your losses, and thus abandon your submission to Allah

00:09:22 --> 00:09:25

and that you do not exalt and show off

00:09:26 --> 00:09:30

and get over elated over what Allah gives you don't get so

00:09:30 --> 00:09:31

excited about that.

00:09:33 --> 00:09:38

But thank Allah subhanaw taala for it, then the scholars say that if

00:09:38 --> 00:09:45

grief takes one, from patience, to restlessness, we were acting with

00:09:45 --> 00:09:50

a bit of patience, but then maybe five things went wrong. You know,

00:09:50 --> 00:09:53

sometimes when you don't get one small thing, you can deal with it.

00:09:53 --> 00:09:56

You don't get another thing you can still deal with it. When the

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

third thing also goes wrong because I get these questions.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:02

Um, I said, What's up? Brian goes, nothing's going right I go, What

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04

do you mean? He says, Well, look, I haven't been able to get

00:10:04 --> 00:10:09

married. Every time I've proposed, it's got broken, right, I tried to

00:10:09 --> 00:10:13

get a house, even that I wasn't able to succeed. And then I lost

00:10:13 --> 00:10:17

my job. So you can see it's one after the other one after the

00:10:17 --> 00:10:21

other. So now what happens is people are patient first, maybe.

00:10:21 --> 00:10:24

But now they become restless. And they start thinking while

00:10:24 --> 00:10:31

thoughts. This is just Allah, and his test. So it shouldn't take us

00:10:31 --> 00:10:34

from patients to restlessness, or, for example, if we are getting

00:10:34 --> 00:10:35

everything.

00:10:36 --> 00:10:37

And

00:10:38 --> 00:10:43

we need to be grateful, we need to do sugar of that. But if it goes

00:10:43 --> 00:10:48

from sugar, to getting overexcited, and acting with

00:10:48 --> 00:10:52

haughtiness and arrogance, and acting like I'm the best, and I

00:10:52 --> 00:10:57

have everything, then these two emotions are unlawful. So in the

00:10:57 --> 00:11:03

first one, to do patients is fine. But then to become depressed and

00:11:03 --> 00:11:07

to become despondent and hopeless is a problem. And in the other

00:11:07 --> 00:11:11

case, to be satisfied, and to thank Allah is wonderful. But to

00:11:11 --> 00:11:14

go over and think it's because of me, I've got this and become

00:11:14 --> 00:11:17

arrogant and haughty, and think that Allah loves me more than

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20

anybody else, then that's a problem. So these two are problem.

00:11:22 --> 00:11:26

spiritual perfection, though, for anybody spiritual perfection, if

00:11:26 --> 00:11:30

they want perfection in this, as the other might have mentioned, is

00:11:30 --> 00:11:31

that

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

spiritual perfection is to get

00:11:35 --> 00:11:41

worldly matters, when when to have worldly matters, or losing them

00:11:41 --> 00:11:46

are the same for somebody, that's a big ask, that's a big deal.

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

If I get that job, I'm happy. If I don't get that job, I'm happy.

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

Now, for somebody who already has a job, and he's a decent income.

00:11:55 --> 00:11:58

And he's trying to get another job or another business. And he's

00:11:58 --> 00:12:03

thinking, or she's thinking that if I do that, and Alhamdulillah,

00:12:03 --> 00:12:06

if it works, I'm happy. If it doesn't work, I'm also happy, that

00:12:06 --> 00:12:09

makes that easier, because you already have something to fall

00:12:09 --> 00:12:14

back on. It becomes more tough for somebody who doesn't have a job

00:12:14 --> 00:12:18

and who's struggling, and then he doesn't get a job, he is not going

00:12:18 --> 00:12:20

to think if I get the job, I'm happy, he's going to be very

00:12:20 --> 00:12:25

happy. But if he doesn't get a job, I'm also happy. That is how a

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28

spiritually perfect person needs to be. That's what we should be

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30

aiming towards. Now, I'm going to tell you from now that if you

00:12:30 --> 00:12:35

don't have that state, we need to ask Allah to help us attain it

00:12:35 --> 00:12:40

don't become despondent again. But it's just it's just the level that

00:12:40 --> 00:12:44

we're speaking about, which is a high level that it doesn't matter

00:12:44 --> 00:12:47

then because we're so connected to Allah and our trust in Allah is so

00:12:47 --> 00:12:49

great that okay, even if I don't get the job, I know Allah is going

00:12:49 --> 00:12:53

to look after me. But I'm going to try Allah looking after me doesn't

00:12:53 --> 00:12:56

mean we don't try. We're going to try but we're not going to freak

00:12:56 --> 00:13:00

out if we if we if we don't get it. Similar thing. Somebody wants

00:13:00 --> 00:13:03

to get married to somebody, they sent the proposal. They've made

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05

them wait for one month, and then after one month, they said no.

00:13:07 --> 00:13:12

Right? After that, they said no. Okay, then obviously, you're going

00:13:12 --> 00:13:16

to feel upset, because the more you wait, the more your emotion

00:13:16 --> 00:13:22

gets attached. So it's about always helping ourselves to think

00:13:22 --> 00:13:25

even if I lose it, it doesn't matter. Even if I lose it, it

00:13:25 --> 00:13:29

doesn't matter. Allah knows best. If we through that month, if we

00:13:29 --> 00:13:33

thought of it that way, then after a month, if we did get a

00:13:33 --> 00:13:38

rejection, you won't feel so bad. You will still have to deal with

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

it. But it won't feel so bad. Because we know that Allah we've

00:13:40 --> 00:13:43

been thinking about Allah that oh Allah make the best I've been

00:13:43 --> 00:13:49

doing is the Hara. And if we do get it Alhamdulillah. So thinking

00:13:49 --> 00:13:53

that I may not get it, and I'll be fine with it doesn't stop you from

00:13:53 --> 00:13:54

getting it.

00:13:55 --> 00:13:58

That's what's important to understand, to have this attitude,

00:13:58 --> 00:14:02

that it doesn't matter if I don't get it doesn't stop you from

00:14:02 --> 00:14:04

getting it because we still must try our best to get it whatever is

00:14:04 --> 00:14:10

reasonably Correct. To make that kind of an effort. We do that. But

00:14:11 --> 00:14:14

it's not going to stop us from getting that thing if we have that

00:14:14 --> 00:14:17

thought, but it will benefit us if we don't get it. And there are at

00:14:17 --> 00:14:21

least, you know, maybe 30 to 50% of things that we may go for we

00:14:21 --> 00:14:25

may not get everybody has a different percentage Allah, I've

00:14:25 --> 00:14:28

noticed that there's some people Allah tests just more than others.

00:14:28 --> 00:14:30

And I think that those people are just closer to Allah.

00:14:32 --> 00:14:36

Because if they're genuinely righteous people that are you

00:14:36 --> 00:14:39

know, generally pious people, and they get tested more, or

00:14:39 --> 00:14:42

something's always going wrong for them. I had a friend like that.

00:14:43 --> 00:14:46

And something always, you know, accidentally started other. But I

00:14:46 --> 00:14:49

think for him, it's just Allah raising his status, and Allah has

00:14:49 --> 00:14:54

given him a lot of patience. So there's no harm in thinking that

00:14:54 --> 00:14:59

way. It's the best way to think we ask Allah to give us that kind of

00:14:59 --> 00:14:59

thought.

00:15:00 --> 00:15:06

And this is the benefit of this is this is what you call the slim.

00:15:08 --> 00:15:11

We have an idea in Islam called the slim the slim means full

00:15:11 --> 00:15:16

submission wholehearted submission is called wholehearted submission.

00:15:16 --> 00:15:20

And so that's the slim the slim means wholehearted submission to

00:15:20 --> 00:15:23

Allah. I know we use that as a name for people to slim. But the

00:15:23 --> 00:15:27

slim basically also means wholehearted submission to Allah

00:15:27 --> 00:15:31

subhanaw taala. And the second level after it's the sweet, which

00:15:31 --> 00:15:35

means to even consign one matters to Allah, which is very rare to

00:15:35 --> 00:15:38

then just say I'm, I'm going to make an effort, but I'll just

00:15:38 --> 00:15:41

leave everything up to you, the stream is that I will accept any

00:15:41 --> 00:15:42

outcome.

00:15:43 --> 00:15:47

But the fee is I leave everything to you. So we ask Allah subhanaw

00:15:47 --> 00:15:51

taala for Tofik. In this regard, I just want to mention one really

00:15:51 --> 00:15:56

interesting, interesting thing for us is that anything that we are

00:15:56 --> 00:16:00

going, we are going after, and we're looking for, and we have an

00:16:00 --> 00:16:03

ambition for, then what should be our attitude and that aside from

00:16:03 --> 00:16:06

the fact that if we don't get it, we're not going to feel upset, we

00:16:06 --> 00:16:09

should always try to have the best intention for why we're doing it

00:16:09 --> 00:16:13

even in mundane matters of the world. Even routine activities of

00:16:13 --> 00:16:14

the world.

00:16:15 --> 00:16:19

Whether that be cooking for the family, right, I'm doing it so

00:16:19 --> 00:16:21

that inshallah they can be healthy, they can pray with that

00:16:21 --> 00:16:23

they can, the husband can,

00:16:24 --> 00:16:27

you know, have a living, I will make them happy.

00:16:28 --> 00:16:32

People who cook with that kind of a thing in mind, with the thought

00:16:32 --> 00:16:34

of Allah in mind, their food is going to have Baraka.

00:16:36 --> 00:16:41

They say that halal and pure some food, halal and pure food, halal

00:16:41 --> 00:16:46

in terms of earning Halal in terms of ingredients, and pure in terms

00:16:46 --> 00:16:46

of

00:16:49 --> 00:16:52

how you do it, the thought process inside it

00:16:53 --> 00:16:58

that will only help to get people to do good deeds. If you put halal

00:16:58 --> 00:17:03

food inside, then only good deeds will come about. If we put haram

00:17:03 --> 00:17:08

food inside, then bad deeds will come about. And if we put doubtful

00:17:08 --> 00:17:11

foods inside, then we may do good deeds, but then they will be

00:17:11 --> 00:17:14

corrupt good deeds, because we will either be showing off in

00:17:14 --> 00:17:17

them, or we won't be thankful to Allah, and they will be corrupt in

00:17:17 --> 00:17:19

that regard. This is what the other one mentioned. That's why

00:17:19 --> 00:17:24

sometimes if we notice that generally we're fine. But we just

00:17:24 --> 00:17:27

sometimes we find ourselves like, you know, after a few months, we

00:17:27 --> 00:17:32

fall into a sin, and we can't help it. So one of the things to check

00:17:32 --> 00:17:35

out would be have we eaten something haram recently?

00:17:37 --> 00:17:41

Right? Or have we done something excessive recently, like, maybe

00:17:41 --> 00:17:46

criticize somebody or press someone because the bad influence

00:17:46 --> 00:17:49

of that is a while we don't normally do that sin we fall into

00:17:49 --> 00:17:52

that sin, we suddenly start missing them as solids.

00:17:53 --> 00:17:56

We were able to get off a solid but these two three days were such

00:17:56 --> 00:17:57

that we couldn't get off a solid.

00:17:58 --> 00:18:02

Why? Why all of a sudden, still sleeping at the same time.

00:18:03 --> 00:18:06

Maybe it's because of some haram food or some other deed that we've

00:18:06 --> 00:18:09

just done. There's always something like that that's an

00:18:09 --> 00:18:14

effect. So in anything that we do try to have a good intention of

00:18:14 --> 00:18:17

why we're doing it, find a good intention of why we're doing it.

00:18:17 --> 00:18:21

That's why if not, I thought Allah Rahim Allah he says that nothing

00:18:21 --> 00:18:22

you seek

00:18:23 --> 00:18:26

through your Lord proves difficult.

00:18:27 --> 00:18:30

Anything that you want, and you're doing it through Allah, like

00:18:30 --> 00:18:33

you're doing it with an intention to please Allah, for the sake of

00:18:33 --> 00:18:37

Allah for something that Allah has told us to do, it will it will not

00:18:37 --> 00:18:40

prove difficult, because Allah will just make it easy for you

00:18:40 --> 00:18:43

psychologically, physically inshallah as well to attain that

00:18:43 --> 00:18:48

thing. And then he says, Nothing you seek through yourself proves

00:18:48 --> 00:18:49

easy.

00:18:51 --> 00:18:55

So even if it's something may be praiseworthy, but you are relying

00:18:55 --> 00:18:59

too much on yourself to attain it. You want to start a madrasa you

00:18:59 --> 00:19:02

want to start classes, you want to start helping someone but you

00:19:02 --> 00:19:04

don't think about that you're doing it for the sake of Allah,

00:19:04 --> 00:19:09

I'm doing it for my name, my game I want to, you know, be known for

00:19:09 --> 00:19:12

this or whatever the case is, then it will not prove easy.

00:19:15 --> 00:19:20

So again, what he says, Nothing you seek through your Lord will

00:19:20 --> 00:19:24

prove difficult, and nothing you seek through yourself proves easy.

00:19:27 --> 00:19:31

So may Allah subhanaw taala give us that state that whenever we're

00:19:31 --> 00:19:34

seeking anything, whether that be a new car, or whether that be a

00:19:34 --> 00:19:38

new bed, we're looking for whatever it is new clothing,

00:19:38 --> 00:19:42

anything that we try to have a good intention. And if we're not

00:19:42 --> 00:19:45

going to get something, then we don't feel bad and we prepare

00:19:45 --> 00:19:47

ourselves for that. And if we do have something we do sugar and we

00:19:47 --> 00:19:53

do not over get overexcited about it. We ask Allah for tofi ask

00:19:53 --> 00:19:56

Allah for assisting us in this regard and for correcting our

00:19:56 --> 00:19:59

understanding, working with Dawa and Al Hamdulillah

00:20:00 --> 00:20:00

Enemy
