Amma bad inshallah we move on with our series on Ignatov Atlas HECM
the book of wisdoms, we start from wisdom number 94
Wisdom number 94
In nama your lyrical mineral laden with mica Anila Heafy in your
local mineral layer them if mica and Allah He fee. The way I look
at this one, I see this as a culmination of several of the
previous ones. What if not, I thought Allah al Eskandari is
saying is deprivation hurts you only because of the lack of your
understanding of Allah in it. When you're deprived of something, when
you've been prevented from something, when you have no longer
access to something, or when you've not been able to attain
something in the first place, you've been deprived, it hurts
you. So normal human feeling, you would expect that people get hurt
when they're deprived of something. But what he's saying
here is that the prior deprivation only hurts you because of the lack
of your understanding of alignment.
That's a really interesting idea, it only hurts you because of a
lack of your understanding in Allah subhanaw taala.
But for some people, it will continue to hurt them. So, let us
try to understand what this is saying, especially in light of
several of the other ones that we read before. For example, this one
is wisdom number 94. Before this was 93, in which it was, it said,
when he gives he shows you His kindness when he deprives he shows
you His power. And in all of that, he is making himself known to you
and coming to you with His gentleness. So his gentleness is
in all of that, though, it's difficult for us to understand and
may be able to come to terms with that, if it can, life will become
extremely easy. So
what it means by when he says it's due to your lack of understanding
of Allah, lack of recognition of Allah, lack of
understanding who he is and how he works. Because if somebody
understands Allah subhanaw taala, that would mean that you know him,
you know, the way Allah is in different situations, if you
reckon you know, someone, somebody comes to you and says, you know,
I'm having this little issue with this person or whatever. But don't
worry about it will be sorted in two days, he'll be fine. After two
days, he may be angry right now, but he'll be fine in two days. You
know him, you know that person. So you can give some assurance to
someone sometimes that look, that's the way they do things. Oh,
yesterday I was walking and he just completely ignored me. No,
brother, that's that's just sometimes he's just so occupied
with something he doesn't notice you. It's not as bad as you think.
Otherwise, if you fail to acknowledge somebody could just
cause such a huge rift.
If you're a distracted kind of person who's constantly on your
phone or thinking about something else, or busy or just occupied
with some, you know, personal issue, it's possible that you may
just ignore somebody.
And just happens, but sometimes people just think that you've been
ignoring them purposely. Once somebody in our masjid, when you
were in America, one of my friends who said that there's such and
such a brother, he reckons that you always ignore him.
Said that's really interesting. I mean, I never never knew I was
ignoring him. I had no such intention. Never actively done. So
what happens with the Imams is that when you leave the masjid,
everybody kind of wants to ask you a question or meet you. So,
generally, the pushy guys, they get through.
Now the guys who are more bold or whatever, they're the ones who get
through it. Even if you're speaking to somebody is pushing
guys, sometimes they come in and they just do their bit, even
though you're speaking to somebody, they don't stand on the
side and wait for you to finish. They sometimes come and do that.
Sometimes I can maybe understand if somebody's just taking extra
time and they've got to go something, maybe it's
understandable. And then there's some people who are maybe overly
polite or maybe just polite, whatever the circumstance it just
depends, right? And they just don't ever get to talk to you or
whatever, and maybe they've got an important issue. So it taught me a
lesson that when you go out while you may be engaged and for good
reason you may be engaged with somebody but don't, you know, do
look around and see if there's somebody else waiting at least
acknowledge them and say I'll be with you shortly. This way. This
person will also know that somebody else waiting
you learn, you don't I mean,
nobody really takes you on tears. Let's go outside domestic. There's
any mom and let me teach you how to do this. I don't think that was
ever taught to me like that because No, do these things get
taught? I don't know. But anyway, I'm too I'm doing it now I'm
sharing my experience. So sometimes people just get really
upset with things. So anyway here says you need to know Allah
subhanaw taala because when you know Allah subhanaw taala that
would make you aware of the way he works.
Now knowing Allah subhanaw taala there's lots of Muslims who know
Allah subhanho wa Taala when in good times,
I'm talking about believers work somewhat conscious of Allah when
these good things are going on. We recognize Thank you Allah, just
ask Allah Alhamdulillah look, all of this good is happening. I'm
getting this and I'm getting there and I got this deal and I got
mashallah My children have done this and
mashallah, I was able to do all of this in Ramadan, and, and so on
and so forth. So, when he is in his Jamal when he is in his
giving, when he is in his beauty, his elegance, when he's showing
you his beauty and all of that most people will recognize him, at
least religious mind mindful people will recognize that, but to
really know Allah subhanaw taala means you need to know Him in all
of his states.
Now with somebody else, there's so many cases we've had, where you've
got a really good friend, and they're upset with you, but you
think they're being overly sensitive or overly reactive, or
they're being overly harsh, and over the top, even though you love
them.
You love these people, but you think they're just being overly
harsh for no reason, or overly sensitive for no reason. Right? So
you could have that kind of a complaint about even somebody you
love in this world, somebody who, you know, looks out for you.
But humans can be off balance.
Humans can be very, because there's just so many factors that
influence us in different ways. While normally were balanced.
There could be one issue that just upsets us to such a degree that we
become imbalanced about seeing good good people become
imbalanced.
But
the only being that doesn't become imbalanced, like Allah subhanaw
taala, Allah subhanaw taala does not become imbalanced. Whenever
he's doing anything, even if it sounds a harshest thing right now.
As long as you think you're doing the right thing, and you've
consulted about it, then he's got some other idea there.
And sometimes your best friend can be an oppressor. Because he's
become imbalanced, he could become oppressive. That could be
tantamount to zoom like proper volume, where maybe in hindsight,
they will realize their mistake. But Will Allah subhanaw taala he
doesn't make mistakes.
He never does anything Oh, no, I should have done it differently.
So now let's change it.
He never does that. He knows well in advance. He just knows
everything anyway, what the outcome is going to be so he
doesn't need there's no concept of mistakes that is even conceivable
with Allah. That's the difference between so but the thing is that
because we're so used to human beings, we treat Allah sometimes
in the same way when something goes wrong, oh, he must be upset
with me.
Because generally, that's what your friend will do is upset.
That's why he's going to act weirdly. That's why he's not going
to come to your house anymore. That's why he's not going to pick
up your calls anymore. That's why you're not going to get a gift
from him or eat because they're upset, for whatever reason.
But Allah subhanaw taala doesn't do it for that reason.
Why do parents sometimes not give things to children? That's
probably a good example. To train them. Too much of it is bad for
you.
That's why we're not giving you you can't say that the parent is
being oppressive or unkind or stingy. Well, sometimes they ask,
they could be stingy, they could be getting not getting very stingy
reasons, but a lot of the time it's for therapy reasons.
So we should never we can't think of a line that way. The only way
to recognize who Allah is is by reading the Quran and seeing how
he deals with people and what he promises even in moments of huge
anger.
Allah always gives a way out. So recognizing Allah and knowing
Allah must be hotter Yeah. Hakuna Sahiba yah riffle? Phil Jalali.
Well, Gemma, you have to know Allah subhanaw taala in broadly
speaking, both of those states of beauty and raw beauty and majesty.
Willman evil Athar. You have to know that it's Allah subhanho wa
Taala he's got a reason when he gives you and when he prevents
something from you
Welcome, we will bust and when there's an expansion you're
feeling or when you're feeling restricted,
contracted,
as though the world has become a very small place, despite its
vastness. Now if a person only knows Allah subhanaw taala in
states of prosperity and goodness and bounties, then this generally
is the Iman and the knowledge and the awareness of Allah subhanaw
taala of the normal layperson, not the person who's trying to be
serious with Allah.
This is they are trying to be seriously but on a very basic
level, they are primarily albedo and fusi him, they are slaves on
themselves, because when good things happen, then they thank
Allah because it's benefiting them. It's not putting them in any
difficulty, right now at least. So they're slaves on themselves, but
they believe in Allah and they know a bit about Allah. For in
order to Rado, if they're given something and they bestow, it's
bestowed something, something is bestowed upon them, they're very
satisfied with Allah mu tau,
is a homeless cartoon, then they get angry if they don't get
something. When a person has true understanding of Allah, which
we're trying to do in these classes, we're really just trying
to understand Allah is this literally these aphorisms? They're
a book of the head, and Malefor of just trying to understand who
Allah is, and trying to take away all other ideas of
equating with Allah subhanaw taala anything else refine our
understanding. So some of the other fruits of knowing Allah
subhanaw taala is absolute satisfaction, and even happiness
with whatever the decree brings, not an easy thing to do. We've
been discussing this and you can look at the previous lectures for
that. When a person recognizes Allah, there's no way he can not
love him more than anything else, the more recognition the greater
the love will grow. And part of the fruits of the love of Allah
subhanho wa Taala is a subroutine the shadow ed will Bilwa is being
patient when the difficulty surmount you when the going gets
tough, when the things are not as rosy as they were, because Allah
has never promised it to be rosy all the time. Anyway. Allah has
emphatically said over and over in the Quran that we will be there
will be tests that will come to you. Whether the blue and the
condition in mental health while you were not Similan will will
enforce your thumb rot or visually Saberi. That's why a poet says
that they're a miserable Hawa. metathetical Ain't that work? I
feel how a coolie Aina lower jednak ASABE Iran li Havana la
mana na Kula Matata Munna. So this is a person speaking on behalf of
Allah subhanaw taala, as though translating on behalf of Allah
saying, you claim to be on the school of the lovers. You claim to
be of the lovers? And then you complain?
Where is your Where are your claims? In comparison to your
love? Tell me where are they? Had we found you steadfast to our
desires, to what we wanted and we found you steadfast and
persevering in that we would have given you everything you had
desired.
We will then give you everything that you desire.
What's interesting is that when you say everything you did, I'm
going to do this I can get everything I desire. I don't think
it's that is what you're going to desire. I think your desire our
desires will become as Allah once so then we'll be getting
everything as Allah desires. And it will be simple to live in this
world.
So no person who claims to love somebody else is truthful in their
claim of love. Know anybody who claims to know someone else is
absolutely right in their knowledge, or has enough knowledge
until for them to Allah subhanaw taala it becomes the same whether
he's giving you or he's preventing from you, whether you're in a
state of contraction or expansion, whether you are in need or whether
you have access, whether you are according to other people in the
world, whether you have dignity or whether you have become disgraced
because of doing something good. Of course, if you're somebody
who's become disgraced because of a sin, then you can't then say Oh,
Allah loves me, you know, even in this state of disgrace I mean,
Allah loves you. But you know, that's not why you are in the
state of disgrace. You've made mistakes, right? You made
mistakes, or when somebody praises them, or when somebody I mean look
at our brothers who are suffering right now. Some of them they just
don't care, even though their own Muslim brothers around the world.
Don't support them, criticize them. In fact,
criticize them, but they think they are doing what's right and
they're doing it according to that. The true lover is the one
who understands the lover in every one of their states Habibi will be
hola hola, hola. He is my lover and my beloved in all states.
That's what the poet says.
But to know them is not enough one needs to succumb to them. And you
may not be able to do that with another human being, you may not
be worth your time, you may not be worthwhile for us, but with Allah
subhanaw taala it's well worth because there's really not much
else we can do. He is the one in whose grasp and power is
everything anyway.
So
with anybody else they could be making a mistake, as I mentioned
in their harshness, even if it's a calculated harshness,
they may think they're calculated, but they may be going overboard.
We've seen that so many times in, you know, the most
respected human being sometimes even respected human beings can
make a mistake. Nobody can claim to love Allah subhanaw taala and
then fail miserably when a bit of difficulty comes upon them. That's
why the Arabic poem says, For in Shiva and Daheia, Eden, for
Firmoo, to be he Shahidan what Allah fell haram Allahu Allah and
if you wish to live in a fortunate way, in a, in a in a life of
fortune with a life of fortune, then you need to also meaning in
the hereafter. If you want to be fortunate, then you need to die
while bearing witness and knowing Allah subhanaw taala
otherwise, there's punishment for you if that's what you don't do in
this world and in the hereafter.
That's why another thing says money Dharma lays a fee for father
had to shower he will empty honey.
Money Dharma Lisa fee for father had to shower he will empty honey.
Whoever claims that which he doesn't really possess, he thinks
he possessed but he doesn't really possess it. Then all the evidence
is of the test will will bear witness against you will disgrace
you. You will be disgraced by the test when it comes about
Ibrahim will ha says
La Ilaha illa Allah
to become a need to give up all of your possessions to have Zaha to
become a need is only correct when you can fulfill two conditions.
There's some people who want they want to give up everything say I
claim to love Allah subhanaw taala there's only there's two
conditions for that which Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu had, which many
of the other Sahaba and so on had had had had, by which they were
able to give in the path of Allah the way they did. So he's saying
the Houma Thika to Billa. The first condition is that you must
have absolute reliance in Allah knowing that he's going to help
you.
Don't worry, he'll help. Don't worry. It'll come. Don't worry.
We'll help we'll come. But it's not coming today. When is he going
to help them? Don't worry, we'll come
you know when you know that somebody's going to come. And
number two, yes, a shoe crueler than you have to have sugar of
Allah subhanaw taala for whatever he has given you. So that when you
have sugar, you can only have sugar and you can only show
gratitude when you feel like you've got something of value.
If you don't have anything of value, you don't think you have
anything of value. How can you do sugar? Sugar is anything to sugar
to Allah. You can only do sugar if I think I've got something to do
sugar otherwise what kind of sugar is that? That's just a claim or
something? Just empty words. I must feel like hey, man, I've
really been blessed by Allah to for me to do sugar. Some people
were asked somebody was asked what what do you guys consider Zuid?
Abstinence?
From the dunya what what's your definition of it? Oh, either
Wajid? Nasha Karna whatever. Fuck now, Sabrina.
Maybe we'll recognize that when we have when we get something we're
thankful to Allah. When we don't have something then we do suffer.
Anything wrong with that.
That's what we that's our normal trade. I mean, anybody who's
walking the path of Allah, they are going to suffer because those
who are
you know, those who don't understand this, they're not even
going to do something. They're gonna start complaining at that
time. So those of us who feel like we're somewhere, then this is
hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah. And then if something's wrong, we're
going to make supper.
For Karla her the highlight tool Keylab in the Navi Bella, this is
the way the dogs are of Bulka he gave us from bulk birthdays in
Afghanistan today. Next, the Masatoshi.
That's how the dogs are in culled. Sorry, that's how the dogs are in
bulk. When they get something they're very thankful to you. And
when they don't get something, then they just
Do summer. That's the way they are.
I don't know I've heard I've had two calls in the last two, three
months from two Muslims.
One already had a dog or a few dogs. Right? But it looks like,
you know, mashallah, she was quite far from Islam, but coming closer,
and the other one wanted a dog. I said, why would you want a dog
for? Are they just, you know, I forget which dog they mentioned.
So cute and whatever.
I said, No, you're you're not allowed. There's a lot of cute
things which are not allowed to get. I mean, forget dogs, there's
a lot of other cute things that you'd like to have, but you can't
have I mean, subhanAllah Come on, you know,
that they're so cute. So the other one said, they just saw being I
think the first person, I think she was just so sick of people,
just people forsaking and neglecting and deserting, and just
not being faithful. And the dog is very faithful. Right? And that's
the quality Allah has put in the dogs. I mean, there's no doubt
about that. And the second one is like the homeless, you so the only
way to have a dog is to have it as a guide. Okay, so maybe I'll get
it, maybe I'll get it as a guard dog. I said, it depends on your
intention, do you need a goddess? Well, not really. But you know, I
could, you know, I'm sure it'll be beneficial. You know, whatever, I
said, Your, it's your intention that counts, you know, get get
your love for something else, it's just misplaced love, there's a lot
of things out there.
I mean, we're not in Islam, we don't have that kind of so called
Freedom of thought that you can love anything, just get it that,
in fact, even in the western idea of you love some you're not
allowed to have it, it's not everything you can have is only
what there's been such a trend to, to allow. Otherwise, there's a lot
of taboo subjects as well that people would love to have, and
they would love to love to, you know, be with and so on. But they
can't even according to Western standards, there's always
barriers, you know, that's just
emotions going out of out of place that have to be tempered.
So
dogs have a purpose, but you can't have it as a pet. You know, how
miserable can we be that we can't have another human being, it's so
lost, humans are so messed up, or they that we have to get a dog,
they can't find another human being to be our friend, to give us
comfort is our messed up human beings.
You know, subhanAllah, what really helps. And I would like to say
this to people who are listening, that
you know, I get called sometimes. And,
you know, sometimes I've said something to someone, and you may
have been harsh at the time.
It may have been just straight to the point. Some of the best calls
that I get are those people who call after a few months, and said
that what you told me there was one guy who just couldn't get he
was married to someone and for many, many years, and he just, it
was irretrievably broken, kept consulting with me about this
seven the other and I could see that this wasn't gonna go
anywhere.
So I told him, don't you get it? She doesn't want to come back.
Like, don't you understand that? Just give it up. Forget it.
He just told me yesterday. And this happened three years ago, I
think he told me yesterday that that was the profound change. When
I finally got it, that I'm wasting my time I'm becoming more
miserable. I'm spoiling my health.
Let it go. And Al Hamdulillah. He's in it. He's got a new wife.
She's married again. You know, there are issues because I've got
older children, you know, there's gonna be issues, but it's done.
It's much better than that limb, limbo state that he was in.
So I had to tell him that.
But it was a moment of recognition.
Another woman, she calls me up before Ramadan. She said, I want
to just give you good news. I said, Do you remember me? I said,
No, I don't unfortunately, because we speak to so many people, you
don't remember everybody.
So, you know, I was the one I'm this years old, and I couldn't get
married. And I was really depressed and whatever. And you
told me to do a few things or whatever to read this to on
Hamdulillah. You know, now I'm getting married, you know.
So Hamdulillah. This tells you that there's a lot of good people
out there who have sugar, who have gratitude. And that makes you feel
good. Now, I don't know these people.
You won't make a deal. I mean, some of these people, most of
these people, I don't know, who will give you some feedback.
But it tells you at least there's other good humans out there who
have you know, some kind of goodwill about them. And that
makes you feel good that Alhamdulillah it gives you more
assurance about humanity. I think that really helps to give positive
messages to give positive feedback. I think that really,
really helps.
I think us as a human race, because when you see so much
destruction out there, and so much betrayal, and so much of these
problems as we see now, humans, the more negativity around you,
essentially, except for those people are so connected to Allah
that none of this matters for them. They're like in a glass.
They're in a storm, but they're in a completely secure glass cage,
they can see the storm around them, they're relaxed inside,
those are the only of Allah. Problem is there's a fewer of
those people, majority of the people are affected by negativity
around them.
They are massively affected by negativity. Negativity affects
everybody. Right? So when you give some positivity in that you tell
somebody a good aspect of your story of a good success story. I
think it really, really helps. It reassures you about human beings,
it makes you feel good because you're a human being, they are a
reflection of you, is a reflection of your reflection of me. So when
I hear positivity, it's like oh god hamdulillah there's some
mashallah there's some promise for the human race. Still, it's not
all lost. So spread positivity, really spread, spread positivity,
give good feedback.
helps a lot.
So he said, Yes, that's the nature of the dogs of bulk. They are very
grateful when they get something and they just patient when they
don't get anything. So then he said, Okay, what was during the
momentum? So what is yours other than if that's the sort of your
dogs and what is yours? Call it either for Kadena chakra?
Well, either way, jedna foreigner is always the highest status upon
Allah. He said when we don't have We're thankful
we show gratitude when we don't have for what
what what do they show gratitude for what either which is nothing.
But when we do get something when we acquire something we're not
we're on the receiving end, then we give others preference to
ourselves.
If these methodologies these perspectives are not known by any
of us, then we're going to constantly maintain the same
perspective that we are used to. This is how this benefits me when
I know there's a another notch when there's something else going
on, when there's another status to reach.
Mashallah, it provides an opening Hey, that's a direction I want to
go in. So I think that's why I do these gurus because it really
benefits me
as well, in understanding what's next. This is the real
understanding of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. Why? Why should you think
Allah subhanho wa Taala when you don't have
because Allah subhanaw taala has considered not having also an
Atma, that's also a bounty sometimes not having is also a
bounty
and
having to be thirsty and hungry. That is considered to be sometimes
a source of blessing as well. Right? Because now this is
something which you want to like, what kind of a benefit in there.
Okay, I accept it, but what kind of a blessing is in?
Did we not just fast the whole month of Ramadan? Why does Allah
subhanaw taala instill upon us right? to fast for the whole month
of Ramadan? By staying hungry and thirsty? Why not something else?
Do this many records every day. There's no additional obligation.
Yes, there's a sunnah of taraweeh. But aside from the five daily
prayers, there's no other obligation is there that you in
Ramadan, you must do 100 rockets of prayer. Or you must give this
maturity. What He tells us to do is abstinence is to refrain.
What's the purpose of that? Why not tell us to do more? Why not
obligate us to them? Yeah, he encourages us to do more, but why
not obligate us, the obligation is abstinence. Because
when a person is hungry, food is is a necessity. But when it's over
the necessity, it's harmful. And the doctors will tell you that the
dietitians will tell you that health people will tell you that
the world will tell you that. Right. But from a spiritual
perspective as well. May Allah make it easy for us to abstain,
it's a tough thing to do.
So, when a person has when a person is hungry, thirsty, I mean
doesn't have
it provides it attracts the attention of Allah subhanaw taala
and Allah provides them with gifts of spiritual kind.
There is something we can only benefit from or even acknowledge
and understand properly and after you experience it.
Why do why did the prophecy blossom fast so much? Why do other
people fosse so much? Why do why did the Prophet also not want so
many because there's a certain pleasure in not having which we
cannot understand when you have very difficult to understand that
So there are Mohib, there are a soror, Allah subhanaw taala opens
up things, the secrets of things are revealed, realities become
clear upon a person.
And lights engulf this person life, there's efficiencies that
overcome this person, a person becomes more known when he does
when he has less, because there's less of the world to worry about.
But you must be satisfied in that fucker.
If you're not satisfied, that can become tougher, it's a very double
edged sword, it is a very difficult state. It can be to give
up things can be a huge relief, but only for a few people. I
think. So most people have. And those who don't the majority of
people who don't have today, it's because it's not it's not
voluntary, isn't it? Because that's they can't get more. But
this is talking about voluntarily giving up things for the sake of
others. And there's huge benefits in that. But how do I even explain
that, because you are now essentially separated from many
distractions, as long as not having is not a distraction for
you.
If that's a bigger distraction, then you'd rather have not have,
right, it's a bit complicated. It's when you don't have you know,
they've done, they've done
a number of
studies on this where they've taken a person and put him into a
place into like a retreat without their phone
for a month, six weeks for two months. And subhanAllah, the
benefit that they receive from not having access to the phone, just
one thing, just one Nam
is huge.
When you go into a lot of these health spas in Kerala, they don't,
you know, what you're supposed to do is you're supposed to live
according to their regime, they give you a bit of food, very
specially, you know,
cooked food, certain vegetables, or whatever it is. And that's all
because they want you to just cut off from everything, so the body
can become better. They said that a lot of dietitians will tell you
that a lot of the physical ailments like allergies, and a
number of other issues actually related to a problem in the gut.
In the stomach.
I've got somebody who's studying this right now. Actually, she had
a problem with, with allergies or with something I can't remember
what it was, went on a diet for about, I think six weeks or two
months. Very, you know, like none of these normal things. And lots
of probiotics that get that kind of food and hamdulillah it sorted
out a number of issues because it's all related to the gut,
right? Healthy Eating is very important. Likewise, healthy
eating for our heart. And our soul is also very important.
It's all interconnected. Right?
Along Allah, Allah, and then a person can become a place for
acceptance. And for Allah subhanho wa Taala attention. May Allah
subhanaw taala make this easy for us. There's quite a few points
today but going back to what he said, he says, deprivation hurts
you only because of the lack of your understanding of Allah in it.
So Sheikh Abdullah gonna go here in his commentary, Rahim Allah
says, Oh traveller, the grief and annoyance of your heart, when
Allah Most High afflicts you with difficulties and hardships
are the products of your lack of intelligence, on account of your
ignorance, you are unable to fathom the Divine Mercy, wisdom
and grace underlying your adverse circumstances. I completely put my
hand down, this is not easy to do. When I've had issues sometimes,
and you know, you naturally think and then you remember this, I
mean, I'm teaching this stuff. So it has to come. And it helps me.
But I think there's a long way to go to make this perfect. Right?
But it really helps. I mean, it's, it's helped me it helps me manage
things sometimes. I wish it can be better, you know, in and we can
become proper knows of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. But just reading
this benefits, if you had not been, he says on account of your
ignorance, you are then unable to fathom the Divine Mercy, wisdom
and grace underlying your adverse circumstance. If you had not been
ignorant, your state of adversity would have been just as
pleasurable to you, as your state of prosperity. Can you imagine it?
You've just got a new car, you're going to be going around in it.
The excitement you feel there. You're supposed to feel the
excitement when you don't have anything when something's been
taken away from you.
Wow.
I hope we can reach that.
Because remember, deprivations are going to come to all of us, we all
lose something or the other one way or the other. Right. So if we
can feel the same when it is and that's something to look out for,
not for that purpose.
That's another distraction. Actually, the main thing is for
Allah subhanaw taala. That's just something he gives, but we can't
lose sight of Allah subhanaw taala. And the next aphorism will
which we'll do next time, we'll explain that in more detail. So he
says, If you had not been ignorant, your state of adversity
would have been just as pleasurable to you at in your
state of prosperity. In fact, your pleasure will be greater Wow. At
the time of deprivation, because poverty and hardship are the share
of gifts, reserved for the special servants of Allah.
For the special servants of Allah
I'm not a very special servant of Allah then
I have too much
Allah give us off yet Allah give us off yet Allah give us off yet.
But the next one for next time is sometimes he opens the doors of
obedience for you, but not the doors of acceptance. Sometimes he
condemned you to sin and he turns out to be a cause of arriving to
Allah subhanaw taala inshallah we'll do that next time.
