For a person who wants to pray, but they're stuck in traffic and
there's no way they can stop pouring out outside and they miss
the answer prayer everyday they get it. They made the effort but
today there's just extra traffic. Allah subhanaw taala likes that
person and loves that person more than the monastic who was in
Madina, Munawwara who would go for prayer in the masjid because they
had to otherwise they'd be caught, they'd become known to be
hypocrites. So he was praying all the praise with the prophet Elijah
in mustard and robbery. But Allah loves this other person better who
is living in London or New York or whatever it is, and he's missed
this pair accidentally on that day because of this huge freak
occurrence of extra traffic. So at the end of the day, it's the state
of the heart in that context. Otherwise, it's just wrong to say
I've got a good state of the heart, but I don't do anything
with it. That's not you can tell people I'm so kind and so generous
I feel for you, but you never do anything for them. I feel for the
people of Syria. For the people of Palestine. We never do anything
that's just claims. It's a desire, but it's a latent desire that has
not given rise to anything that hasn't manifested
