Sherry sobbing. So the Kola hula him continuing with our series on

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

the book of wisdoms by Abner artha Illa Allah Eskandari with the

00:00:41 --> 00:00:45

commentary by Sheikh Abdullah can go he called the ECMO regime. We

00:00:45 --> 00:00:51

are on wisdom number 24 which is on page 190. Today, for those who

00:00:51 --> 00:00:57

are following with the book, page 190 Wisdom number 24. Even though

00:00:57 --> 00:01:02

I thought it Allah says Learn to struggle they will call a Kadar

00:01:02 --> 00:01:06

lotta stuff that will go academically man I don't have he

00:01:06 --> 00:01:13

had the door for in Maroubra that il ma who are most the hukou was

00:01:13 --> 00:01:21

visa YG, buena Tia for in NA ma Rozet il ma Hua Mr. Haku was we

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

have words you buena it ha.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:29

This is the next two or three wisdoms in the series, they are

00:01:29 --> 00:01:34

very, very, very relevant to our situation. At present, though

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

they're relevant at all times throughout each person's life,

00:01:37 --> 00:01:44

because they are essentially an understanding of the foundation of

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

this universe of this life, rather, one of the principles of

00:01:47 --> 00:01:51

this life to understand this. And if, and I believe I believe

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

through personal experience that once we've understood this life

00:01:54 --> 00:02:00

becomes a lot more predictable and a lot more easier to deal with.

00:02:00 --> 00:02:05

And it really, really helps to remove a lot of undue grief, undue

00:02:05 --> 00:02:10

sorrow, undue concerns. And it really helps to

00:02:11 --> 00:02:16

plan ahead and understand when things happen when everybody else

00:02:16 --> 00:02:20

is confused, you will not be confused. If we understand this,

00:02:20 --> 00:02:26

then we will have no confusion, no hesitation, no surprise, when lots

00:02:26 --> 00:02:30

of other people are wondering what's happening. So Insha Allah,

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

this is what Ignatov Allah says, and may Allah subhana wa, tada

00:02:34 --> 00:02:39

benefit us through His words, he's saying, so long as you are in this

00:02:39 --> 00:02:39

world.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

Be not surprised at the existence of sorrows.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:51

So long as you are in this world be not surprised at the existence

00:02:51 --> 00:02:57

of sorrows for truly it, meaning the world manifests nothing. But

00:02:57 --> 00:03:01

what is in keeping with its character, or its inevitable

00:03:01 --> 00:03:07

nature. For truly, the world manifest nothing but what is in

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

keeping with its character. And its inevitable nature, meaning the

00:03:11 --> 00:03:15

world only produces that which was created for the nature upon which

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

it was created, the characteristics that Allah

00:03:18 --> 00:03:22

subhanaw taala gave to it. That's exactly the way the world works.

00:03:22 --> 00:03:26

And that's the exact way it functions. So don't ever be

00:03:26 --> 00:03:31

surprised about anything that this world throws at you.

00:03:33 --> 00:03:36

Especially the existence of sorrows, which is one of the most

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

distant, disconcerting things for a lot of people. This is not

00:03:39 --> 00:03:43

something that you must be surprised by, because it's part

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46

and parcel of the nature of this world. Otherwise, a person is

00:03:46 --> 00:03:51

deluded if they don't understand this. So this essentially what

00:03:51 --> 00:03:51

he's saying here

00:03:53 --> 00:03:57

is that as long as you are in this world, then don't just don't be

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

surprised of these things.

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

Now, to explain that briefly, when a person is understanding that the

00:04:07 --> 00:04:14

unexpected difficulties, suffering, misery, grief, sorrow,

00:04:14 --> 00:04:18

all of these things can be part of the world because we have all

00:04:18 --> 00:04:21

experienced them in the past at some time or the other. They've

00:04:21 --> 00:04:25

happened to us. So then when it happens again, why do we get so

00:04:25 --> 00:04:28

surprised? The only thing I can think of why we get surprised is

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

because we don't want them to happen. I mean, nobody does. I

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

mean, that's why we do have a DUA, we've been encouraged to make a

00:04:34 --> 00:04:37

dua to Allah subhanaw taala that ask Allah subhanaw taala for

00:04:37 --> 00:04:38

wellbeing.

00:04:40 --> 00:04:44

So we want well being no doubt, but when a difficulty does happen,

00:04:44 --> 00:04:49

we need to realize that it's going to happen, and if we learn to deal

00:04:49 --> 00:04:53

with it, then it won't have a one. They won't be too difficult

00:04:53 --> 00:04:58

anymore. For example, let's just say you buy something new, a new

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

machinery of some sort

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

And there's something that goes wrong with it, something casually

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

just goes wrong with it. And you're like, I need to find out

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

where to fix this. So you need to call up, you need to check online,

00:05:12 --> 00:05:15

you need to check other places, oh, there's a part that's missing.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18

All right, there's a part that's missing. Generally, the reviews

00:05:18 --> 00:05:23

tell us that this part in this particular product, it goes it

00:05:23 --> 00:05:26

wears out quite easily. So you can you can buy them, right, you can

00:05:26 --> 00:05:31

buy a part. So you after doing all of this research and review, you

00:05:31 --> 00:05:34

find out the best place to buy the parts, you order a part and you

00:05:34 --> 00:05:38

fix it and you go on. Now, the next time, that same product with

00:05:38 --> 00:05:42

that same part breaks, right, if it needs a replacement, you will

00:05:42 --> 00:05:48

have maybe 10%. If that much of the grief and the concern you had

00:05:48 --> 00:05:52

the first time around, you've got the experience now. Now if you're

00:05:52 --> 00:05:55

if you are clever enough, and you knew that this is something you're

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57

going to use often and this part could break again, you probably

00:05:57 --> 00:06:01

ordered one or two extra pieces. It's right there, you've got it or

00:06:01 --> 00:06:04

you know where to order it. You don't have to spend a whole day or

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

two asking around what what's going on with this and feel like

00:06:07 --> 00:06:11

did I get conned? Did I get swindled? Did I get shortchanged

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14

by somebody, you know, you know what to do now that this is a

00:06:14 --> 00:06:17

normal thing, this happens. There's no way you know, there's

00:06:17 --> 00:06:20

no way it's not going to happen. So you've prepared for it, you're

00:06:20 --> 00:06:21

not surprised anymore.

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

That's exactly the way of different sufferings in this

00:06:25 --> 00:06:29

world. As long as we understand them, then they stop giving us

00:06:29 --> 00:06:33

grief. And there's a huge benefit to that. There's a huge benefit to

00:06:33 --> 00:06:36

that the problem with grief. The problem with surprise, the problem

00:06:36 --> 00:06:41

with feeling sorrowful, and anxiety, is that it affects every

00:06:41 --> 00:06:45

part of your life. This is a problem. You know, when you're not

00:06:45 --> 00:06:49

used to it, when you're not expecting it. When when then

00:06:49 --> 00:06:53

disconcert you, and it makes you feel like Why me, that's That's

00:06:53 --> 00:06:57

the worst part of it. Like why me, then what's going to happen is,

00:06:58 --> 00:07:03

you don't enjoy speaking to people, you then get concerned

00:07:03 --> 00:07:08

about everything. You don't even enjoy worship anymore. It just

00:07:08 --> 00:07:12

spoils your whole routine of your day. So if we don't understand it,

00:07:12 --> 00:07:15

it's a very shaytani thing actually. Shaytan likes to cause

00:07:15 --> 00:07:19

grief. Allah mentions it in the Quran. Shaitan gives you fear of

00:07:19 --> 00:07:20

these things.

00:07:21 --> 00:07:24

Because what it does is that when you have fear, and you fear and

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

you don't know how to deal with it, then your worship of Allah and

00:07:27 --> 00:07:29

your devotion, that gets effected.

00:07:31 --> 00:07:35

That means it's actually actually against the one understanding and

00:07:35 --> 00:07:39

declaring the Oneness of Allah. That's why if we understand what's

00:07:39 --> 00:07:41

going to happen, that it's going to happen,

00:07:42 --> 00:07:42

then

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

hamdulillah it just makes life easy, there still will be a bit of

00:07:47 --> 00:07:50

grief, because it does create instability in your life, there's

00:07:50 --> 00:07:53

no doubt I mean, let's just say you're walking in your hate your

00:07:53 --> 00:07:57

foot to something and there's a pain, it bleeds, maybe there is

00:07:57 --> 00:08:01

going to be some inconvenience. So it's not like you can just deal

00:08:01 --> 00:08:05

with it, okay, you know, the whole blood, your whole body is blooded,

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07

and you're just carrying on as though nothing happened. No,

00:08:07 --> 00:08:11

that's not the idea. That's not reasonable. That's not the way of

00:08:11 --> 00:08:14

this world, there is going to be inconvenience, they can be

00:08:14 --> 00:08:17

inconvenience, but psychologically, you don't

00:08:17 --> 00:08:18

mentally break down.

00:08:20 --> 00:08:24

You know, you're like, it's from Allah, it's the nature of this

00:08:24 --> 00:08:27

world, it's gonna happen, there is COVID it's gonna affect people.

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

And it's amazing how COVID effects different people.

00:08:32 --> 00:08:35

You know, subhanAllah, after having personally experienced it,

00:08:35 --> 00:08:38

it's just strange, you get some families where everybody gets

00:08:38 --> 00:08:39

infected.

00:08:40 --> 00:08:43

Now, while there is some prediction, there is some

00:08:43 --> 00:08:47

understanding about what it does that the older the person is, then

00:08:47 --> 00:08:52

they there's more of a chance of actually dying from this and being

00:08:52 --> 00:08:55

in a critical state with this and the younger you are like children.

00:08:55 --> 00:09:00

However, despite that, there are still very young people who are

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

dying. I mean, I know of several people who are younger than me

00:09:02 --> 00:09:06

that passed away. And people who are just a bit older than me, like

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

three, four or five years older than me, like shaken Luton just

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

passed away. I'm sure he was no more than 345 May Allah bless him

00:09:12 --> 00:09:17

and his family and give patients to everybody, to all all the loved

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

ones that people have left behind me, Allah gone and beautiful

00:09:19 --> 00:09:23

patients and increase the agile, but he was only about four or

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

five, maybe years older than me.

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

Then what happens is that there's one person who told me that

00:09:31 --> 00:09:35

his daughter brought it in from school, the family all had

00:09:35 --> 00:09:39

symptoms, but he tested negative and his wife tested positive yet

00:09:39 --> 00:09:42

he had systems as symptoms, whether you can call it a flaw in

00:09:42 --> 00:09:45

the test, or whatever the case is. And they weren't doing much

00:09:45 --> 00:09:49

isolation. Yet they had they had symptoms, some had it worse than

00:09:49 --> 00:09:52

others. In my case, I had symptoms.

00:09:53 --> 00:09:57

And we, you know, we didn't really know what it was in the beginning.

00:09:57 --> 00:10:00

So there wasn't much i There wasn't much isolation to be

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

honest with the rest of the family but nobody else got it.

00:10:03 --> 00:10:06

Then when somebody does get it, it affects them in different ways.

00:10:06 --> 00:10:09

Some people just get headaches, some people have a temperature,

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

some people get a sore throat, some people lose their taste and

00:10:12 --> 00:10:17

smell handleiding I got a bit of temperature and a bit of backache.

00:10:17 --> 00:10:20

But other than that Alhamdulillah there was nothing else. Yet

00:10:20 --> 00:10:23

there's other people who get it differently. It's unpredictable,

00:10:23 --> 00:10:26

what's going to happen with it, there are some common symptoms,

00:10:26 --> 00:10:29

there's some level of understanding of what it is. But

00:10:29 --> 00:10:32

it's up to Allah at the end of the day, what we have to understand

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35

from this is that there's lots of things in this world that when you

00:10:35 --> 00:10:39

do them, there's going to be a certain effect, that's the custom

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

of Allah, that's how he's made it. And that's why we avoid those

00:10:41 --> 00:10:43

things. For example, if somebody shoots somebody in the head,

00:10:43 --> 00:10:46

they're probably going to die most of the time, but sometimes they

00:10:46 --> 00:10:49

may not just in case, it just, you know, misses the critical part.

00:10:50 --> 00:10:53

Sometimes somebody really, really, you know, clubbers somebody on the

00:10:53 --> 00:10:57

head, they're probably going to die. But some people survive with

00:10:57 --> 00:11:01

just brain damage. Or without that, it just depends, you shoot

00:11:01 --> 00:11:04

somebody in the heart, they're most likely going to die. Right?

00:11:05 --> 00:11:05

So

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

Allah subhanaw, taala, it's up to him. And he's totally, you know,

00:11:09 --> 00:11:12

there's a certain understanding. So likewise, with COVID, there's

00:11:12 --> 00:11:17

an understanding that you do catch it from others. But there are so

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

many families that as a person has got it, there was no isolation,

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22

and the others didn't catch it. I'm not saying that, that's what

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

you must do, you obviously take precautions, because, you know,

00:11:26 --> 00:11:29

we're not supposed to be foolish and silly, and so bold, that we

00:11:29 --> 00:11:33

take risks for no reason. But sometimes, obviously, in the

00:11:33 --> 00:11:36

house, it's difficult to completely isolate. But what's

00:11:36 --> 00:11:39

interesting is that it's up to Allah, that's what I want to point

00:11:39 --> 00:11:40

out from this, that it's up to Allah.

00:11:42 --> 00:11:45

You know, I got it, nobody else in my family got it, they were all

00:11:45 --> 00:11:45

negative.

00:11:47 --> 00:11:51

Right, they were all negative. So it's up to Allah. You know, we did

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

try to be careful, I did try to eat separately, and so on. Right.

00:11:54 --> 00:11:57

But by the time we actually found out that I was positive, it was a

00:11:57 --> 00:12:01

bit too late, but hamdulillah nobody got it. And then the other

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

person I know was saying that he had symptoms, but he's negative.

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

Now that could be a test problem.

00:12:07 --> 00:12:10

Subhanallah, it's up to Allah, at the end of the day, we must be

00:12:10 --> 00:12:13

careful, but our hope and trust is in Allah, that Allah make this

00:12:13 --> 00:12:17

less and we use, you know, whatever, natural and other

00:12:17 --> 00:12:20

medicines that we can all have that is within our code. But the

00:12:20 --> 00:12:24

main thing is that it's up to Allah, Allah, Allah knows how

00:12:24 --> 00:12:26

exactly this COVID is going to affect different people.

00:12:27 --> 00:12:30

It's just part of the nature of this, well, Allah has determined

00:12:30 --> 00:12:33

it. Now, of course, there's bigger issues of why this particular

00:12:35 --> 00:12:41

what why this particular disease or this illness has this virus has

00:12:41 --> 00:12:45

come around and effected, you know, the whole world in a way

00:12:45 --> 00:12:51

that everybody is speaking about getting vaccinated, and there's

00:12:51 --> 00:12:57

like a whole effort for all the countries of the world to do

00:12:57 --> 00:13:00

something about this. There's obviously that's a whole different

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

subject. That's a bigger subject to deal with. But going back to

00:13:04 --> 00:13:05

our discussion today,

00:13:07 --> 00:13:10

the sheikh says, so long as you are in this world, just don't be

00:13:10 --> 00:13:15

surprised, at the existence of sorrows, for the world only only

00:13:15 --> 00:13:19

manifest that which is part of its characteristic. That is what its

00:13:19 --> 00:13:25

function is it's just part of the makeup of this world. So in

00:13:25 --> 00:13:28

Arabic, he says lotta stuff. We'll call a Kadar for those who

00:13:28 --> 00:13:31

understand Arabic letter style where it comes from the console is

00:13:31 --> 00:13:34

still a verb, which essentially means that

00:13:35 --> 00:13:41

seeing and deeming something to be strange, unusual, or very unusual,

00:13:41 --> 00:13:46

a stranger of some sort. Right? So don't think it's strange. Don't

00:13:46 --> 00:13:49

think a saint just just think it's normal, you know, for difficulties

00:13:49 --> 00:13:55

to happen. And the wedding he uses for for sorrows is the word Kadar

00:13:55 --> 00:14:01

right, which is obviously a plural, and it comes from anything

00:14:01 --> 00:14:05

that would the real meaning of Gudur Okumura is essentially

00:14:05 --> 00:14:10

muddiness cloudiness in something. So when water becomes cloudy or

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

muddy, then there's a Kadar in there, right? There's Kuduro in

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

there, right? So what that basically means that if that

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

happens to your,

00:14:19 --> 00:14:24

your behavior, if that happens to your perspective, if that happens

00:14:24 --> 00:14:29

to your feelings, then that means that it's you know, your your

00:14:29 --> 00:14:32

feelings don't get muddy, they become what what what what that is

00:14:32 --> 00:14:39

a metaphor for is worry, sorrow, right? annoyance, distress,

00:14:39 --> 00:14:41

irritation, grief,

00:14:42 --> 00:14:47

offense, disturbance. So all of these things are going to happen.

00:14:48 --> 00:14:51

You know, we've all experienced disturbance sometimes we've all

00:14:51 --> 00:14:56

experienced irritation. We've all experienced distress, and

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

offense and worry

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

and sorrow and grief and anxiety, we all have these experiences. He

00:15:06 --> 00:15:10

says it's only in keeping with it's worse. And it's not in

00:15:10 --> 00:15:13

Arabic, which they both really just mean characteristics, except

00:15:13 --> 00:15:19

that one of them probably means a kind of a permanent, intrinsic

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

characteristic of it. And the other one is something that

00:15:21 --> 00:15:26

happens to it sometimes, and not all times. So for example,

00:15:29 --> 00:15:32

if people die in this world, that's a characteristic of this

00:15:32 --> 00:15:34

world, everything perishes.

00:15:35 --> 00:15:40

Right, you see anything, it will get old, it will get worn out, it

00:15:40 --> 00:15:45

will get rusty, like you keep silver for a while, without using

00:15:45 --> 00:15:48

it, it will get rusty, right? There's some oxidization, or

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50

something that happens and you have to clean it. That's just the

00:15:50 --> 00:15:55

nature of this world. Carpets get warm, people get old, and then

00:15:55 --> 00:15:59

they die, or they die without getting old. It's just the nature

00:15:59 --> 00:16:01

of this world. So these are intrinsic aspects. You can't

00:16:01 --> 00:16:05

escape this in this world. And sickness is another intrinsic

00:16:05 --> 00:16:09

aspect is a weakness. Right? So whether that be a slight sickness,

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

superficial sickness, or really serious illness.

00:16:14 --> 00:16:18

And then there's obviously other things like challenges,

00:16:18 --> 00:16:22

difficulties, aggravations, disturbances, problems.

00:16:26 --> 00:16:30

You know, there's like earthquakes, there are floods,

00:16:30 --> 00:16:32

there are all of these aspects.

00:16:33 --> 00:16:37

So all of these things kind of happen. So the adab of this world,

00:16:37 --> 00:16:40

the etiquette of this world, for a believer, the believers

00:16:40 --> 00:16:44

perspective in this world needs to be that they are not surprised by

00:16:44 --> 00:16:49

any of this. Because all of this is just a manifestation of the

00:16:49 --> 00:16:51

nature of this world.

00:16:53 --> 00:16:57

These are all expressions of Allah subhanaw taala is power. These are

00:16:57 --> 00:17:02

all expressions of Allah subhanho wa Taala has message to this

00:17:02 --> 00:17:02

world,

00:17:04 --> 00:17:08

to show that he is in control, to show that he can do as he wishes

00:17:08 --> 00:17:12

to show that he will run the world as he wishes, and we have to just

00:17:12 --> 00:17:15

fit in there somehow, and do our best. Because this is not the

00:17:15 --> 00:17:21

world that has been promised to be all. Rosy, that's paradise. That's

00:17:21 --> 00:17:26

the abode of Gardens under which rivers will flow. And you will

00:17:26 --> 00:17:29

never have concern, never have a grief, never have jealousy, never

00:17:29 --> 00:17:34

have envy. Never have greed, and you will get whatever you want.

00:17:34 --> 00:17:37

That's a different world. That's not this world. And this is the

00:17:37 --> 00:17:39

biggest mistake people make that they think of this world. They try

00:17:39 --> 00:17:43

to make this world a small paradise, or a big paradise.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:48

They don't realize they're doing that. They want everything to be

00:17:48 --> 00:17:51

perfect. It's an it's within human. I think humans are born for

00:17:51 --> 00:17:52

Paradise SubhanAllah.

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

I think humans are born for Paradise. We are because we

00:17:56 --> 00:18:00

started in paradise, either, Melissa, how are you? So I'm

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

starting paradise. So I think everybody has this desire for

00:18:03 --> 00:18:07

Paradise. But this is where we get diluted, right? We've got this

00:18:07 --> 00:18:11

innate desire for Paradise. But the Paradise is in the hereafter

00:18:11 --> 00:18:15

and we're supposed to be working towards it. But the short sighted

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

one stop making this world into a paradise along

00:18:20 --> 00:18:25

the small, the shallow minded, the short sighted they make this world

00:18:25 --> 00:18:28

a paradise they forget the real paradise. And this is the mistake

00:18:28 --> 00:18:31

they make and then then we have troubles.

00:18:32 --> 00:18:36

But otherwise to be in paradise, I think we all want to be even a

00:18:36 --> 00:18:38

disbeliever wants to be in paradise. That's why he tries to

00:18:38 --> 00:18:42

make this world a paradise, right? That's why the Prophet sallallahu

00:18:42 --> 00:18:45

sallam said that this world is a paradise for the, for the

00:18:45 --> 00:18:46

disbeliever

00:18:49 --> 00:18:52

because that's what they do, they want it to fast they have not

00:18:52 --> 00:18:55

realized where real paradise is, and they're trying to make this

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

world

00:18:57 --> 00:19:03

Subhanallah so now when different things happen, if bad things are

00:19:03 --> 00:19:07

difficult things you know, like bad to us sorrowful anguish. If

00:19:07 --> 00:19:10

that takes place, then that is just Allah subhanaw taala is might

00:19:10 --> 00:19:14

being manifested. That's Allah subhanho wa Taala is an expression

00:19:14 --> 00:19:19

of his Goodra of his power omnipotence. This world is a word

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

of a while, not upward, upward, upward as well. But our which

00:19:24 --> 00:19:28

basically means frights shocks, dismay, horror.

00:19:29 --> 00:19:33

It's a place of separations. Doesn't matter who it is or what

00:19:33 --> 00:19:35

it is, you're going to be separated one day, the nature of

00:19:35 --> 00:19:36

this world is going to happen.

00:19:38 --> 00:19:41

It's a place of transfer, because it's a temporary about

00:19:43 --> 00:19:47

there is a narration long narration transmission it says

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

that

00:19:50 --> 00:19:55

oh people this world in Mojave dar dar Otava.

00:19:56 --> 00:20:00

This world is a world of destruction. It's a world

00:20:00 --> 00:20:05

of Demise it's a world to end essentially, lardaro sdwa not a

00:20:05 --> 00:20:08

place that will remain constant and remain forever remain

00:20:08 --> 00:20:10

permanent. Woman Zulu Tara.

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

It is a place and an abode for anguishes for difficulties for

00:20:18 --> 00:20:23

sorrows. llaman Zulu Farah not a place of just excitement. Yes,

00:20:23 --> 00:20:27

there will be times of excitement, but just not always 100%

00:20:28 --> 00:20:32

from an Arafa lumea for lira, haha. Anybody who's truly

00:20:32 --> 00:20:33

recognize this world

00:20:35 --> 00:20:40

will never get overly excited and exult over the goodness that

00:20:40 --> 00:20:45

happens. You take it in your stride, you enjoy it, you say

00:20:45 --> 00:20:49

Alhamdulillah but you don't start thinking that I am the most, you

00:20:49 --> 00:20:52

know, nothing's gonna happen to me, type of person don't exalt

00:20:52 --> 00:20:57

over it. When I'm Yasmin Lee Chaka Aya and any misfortune that

00:20:57 --> 00:21:02

happens, a person is not going to be grieved. Like completely taken

00:21:02 --> 00:21:05

off, completely taken aback. They work there could be some sorrow,

00:21:05 --> 00:21:11

that's the profit or loss and wept at the demise of his grandchild.

00:21:11 --> 00:21:14

There's nothing wrong with that. But there's no complaint. They

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

understand, but it's a natural reaction to feel bad about

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

something that's fine, but you don't lose it. And now we're in

00:21:21 --> 00:21:27

Hola, halacha duniya Dara Bella, while Hirata Dora aucuba. Know

00:21:27 --> 00:21:30

that Allah subhanaw taala has created this world as a place for

00:21:30 --> 00:21:35

tests and trials and difficulties and challenges and the hereafter

00:21:35 --> 00:21:37

as a place for rewards and compensation.

00:21:39 --> 00:21:43

But your other Bellwood, duniya, Lisa, Bill, hero, the suburb, so

00:21:43 --> 00:21:48

now he tells us the nature of why difficulties happen. So Allah

00:21:48 --> 00:21:50

subhanahu wa Tada. He

00:21:51 --> 00:21:56

designated the difficulties and the challenges of this dunya and

00:21:56 --> 00:22:01

made them a source for the reward of the Hereafter if a person deals

00:22:01 --> 00:22:04

with them in the right way, with reliable accurate him in Bellwood,

00:22:04 --> 00:22:08

dunya Eva, and the reward of the Hereafter is a payment is a

00:22:08 --> 00:22:09

compensation

00:22:10 --> 00:22:15

for tolerating these difficulties, find out hopefully your ot so

00:22:15 --> 00:22:18

Allah subhanaw taala takes away in this world so that he can give you

00:22:18 --> 00:22:25

in the hereafter. Amazing. Allah takes away removes and deprives in

00:22:25 --> 00:22:27

this world so that he can give you in the hereafter where it's much

00:22:27 --> 00:22:28

more valuable.

00:22:29 --> 00:22:32

You'd like Why doesn't he just give it to me in this world?

00:22:32 --> 00:22:35

Sorry, that's not the design of this world. That's not what law

00:22:35 --> 00:22:40

intended. Shout as much as you want. Cry as much as you want. Go

00:22:40 --> 00:22:43

to the UN High Commission, go to the World Court doesn't make a

00:22:43 --> 00:22:48

difference. Get petitions, you know, social media campaign, why

00:22:48 --> 00:22:51

can't this world be different? We want a different president, we

00:22:51 --> 00:22:55

want a different rule. It's not gonna happen. You can do that with

00:22:55 --> 00:22:58

Trump. Right? Twitter's banned him finally. Right? Because they know

00:22:58 --> 00:23:02

he's on his way out anyway. Right? But you can't do that with Allah.

00:23:02 --> 00:23:06

That's just not what's going to happen, right? Where Telia Lee

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

edge is here.

00:23:08 --> 00:23:12

And he tests you so that he can reward you. That's the people who

00:23:12 --> 00:23:16

understand tests, then he is going to reward them. Otherwise, people

00:23:16 --> 00:23:20

fall by what in the * is 32 Toba. But remember, this dunya is

00:23:20 --> 00:23:25

very, it's going to be very quick to go eventually, you know, years

00:23:25 --> 00:23:31

passed by where she was she cattle in Keylab there's a lot of change

00:23:31 --> 00:23:33

as a nature of the world is to just there's a lot of alteration

00:23:33 --> 00:23:36

and change in this world. Look how the world has changed in the last

00:23:36 --> 00:23:42

year, more than decades. Just look at you know, the travel and

00:23:42 --> 00:23:45

everything, the meeting with others that you're you're scared

00:23:45 --> 00:23:49

to touch someone. And you know, after we finish after this

00:23:49 --> 00:23:53

finishes in sha Allah one day, it's going to be a big task for

00:23:53 --> 00:23:57

Allah ma, to bring back the importance of Juma in the masjid.

00:23:58 --> 00:24:02

Right, because people have just Subhanallah there's, there's a lot

00:24:02 --> 00:24:06

of there's a lot of detriment to this disease, this illness, you

00:24:06 --> 00:24:10

know, bringing people back to the masjid, you know, subhanAllah and

00:24:10 --> 00:24:11

there's a lot of other things.

00:24:14 --> 00:24:18

Hello, hello Swatara Da Li Marathi Futami ha So he says,

00:24:19 --> 00:24:21

Beware of the sweetness

00:24:22 --> 00:24:27

of the nursing, meaning beware of the sweetness of the pleasure you

00:24:27 --> 00:24:32

get from this world. Because of because of the fear

00:24:33 --> 00:24:35

of the day, you'll have to leave that so the child they shouldn't,

00:24:36 --> 00:24:40

the child doesn't know. But the child really enjoys suckling and

00:24:40 --> 00:24:44

getting the milk and it's very difficult when they have to wean

00:24:44 --> 00:24:48

them off. So just like that, be careful of drinking from this

00:24:48 --> 00:24:53

world because of the fear and the bitterness that you'll experience

00:24:53 --> 00:24:58

of having to depart from it. And to cease. Waheguru la vida IgD,

00:24:58 --> 00:24:59

Harley Cotabato, Algeria.

00:25:00 --> 00:25:07

and just abandon the pleasures of the early pleasures that you get

00:25:07 --> 00:25:10

because of the difficulties of what may come later if you do it

00:25:10 --> 00:25:14

in the wrong way. While this Alfie Amarante died in Kedah, Allah Who

00:25:14 --> 00:25:16

Harada Allahu Akbar,

00:25:18 --> 00:25:19

Allahu Akbar.

00:25:21 --> 00:25:28

Don't put all of your efforts in developing an abode, a place which

00:25:28 --> 00:25:33

Allah has predestined and decreed absolutely for its desolation.

00:25:36 --> 00:25:39

If you're gonna do it, do it for the sake of living and for the

00:25:39 --> 00:25:45

sake of the Hereafter, you can you can inhabit this world as long as

00:25:45 --> 00:25:46

it's done for the right reason.

00:25:47 --> 00:25:51

While towards elucha wakad Aurora de la hoomin komische Tina Baja

00:25:51 --> 00:25:54

Don't be so indulgent in it when ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala has told

00:25:54 --> 00:26:00

you to abstain from love for it for the cool new lease, de matar

00:26:00 --> 00:26:03

Raeleen such that you then

00:26:05 --> 00:26:09

have to confront the anger of Allah subhanho wa Taala His wrath

00:26:09 --> 00:26:12

well, you're all cool but he he musta hit clean or that you become

00:26:12 --> 00:26:14

worthy of his punishment.

00:26:16 --> 00:26:19

Junaid Al Baghdadi Rahim Allah He said

00:26:21 --> 00:26:26

I never am never surprised and taken aback by that which comes to

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

me of this world. Whatever experience happens, Leone a soul

00:26:30 --> 00:26:33

to assume because I made a principle for myself. Like, you

00:26:33 --> 00:26:36

know, I've made my own living principle. Woohoo. I'm the

00:26:36 --> 00:26:39

daughter Dharohar minhwa minhwa Bella in fitna, waynedale alum

00:26:39 --> 00:26:44

Aquila, who shot that basically, this is an abode of griefs, of

00:26:44 --> 00:26:48

concerns of tests, and of temptations and the whole island,

00:26:49 --> 00:26:54

there's evil available in it. So once you know that, then it's easy

00:26:54 --> 00:26:55

for you to

00:26:57 --> 00:26:58

deal with it.

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

And

00:27:03 --> 00:27:06

then he says, it is part of the world that it's going to throw to

00:27:06 --> 00:27:09

me those things he's going to throw at me those things, which I

00:27:09 --> 00:27:11

dislike. So now

00:27:14 --> 00:27:18

if it throws at me those things, which I like, right, now, I know

00:27:18 --> 00:27:21

that the nature of the world is going to it's going to throw at me

00:27:21 --> 00:27:24

a lot of difficulties. I know that right? We know that as well.

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

Really, if we think about it, we don't want it to happen, but we

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

know it happens. So I know it's gonna happen in the future as

00:27:30 --> 00:27:35

well. But if it then does throw me something which is good, then

00:27:35 --> 00:27:38

that's grace, then I say thanks. We're in love philosophy who Allah

00:27:38 --> 00:27:40

will otherwise the default is the first one that is going to be

00:27:40 --> 00:27:44

difficulties. We don't live to suffer remember that. But if

00:27:44 --> 00:27:47

suffering comes in, we deal with it. We need to be strong enough

00:27:47 --> 00:27:48

for them.

00:27:49 --> 00:27:49

So

00:27:52 --> 00:27:56

above Salima Anna Dharani he once said to another person, I've met

00:27:56 --> 00:27:58

him not a bill however, he he said I met

00:28:00 --> 00:28:04

a bit of judo on Khalil, a bit of hunger is going to happen. You

00:28:04 --> 00:28:08

know, you may need be in need of clothing sometimes was to learn

00:28:08 --> 00:28:11

Khalil sometimes you may be disgraced was soverom Khalil and a

00:28:11 --> 00:28:15

bit of patients were caught in colored Anka Yama dunya. And that

00:28:15 --> 00:28:18

is how the dunya is gonna, the days of the world are gonna pass

00:28:18 --> 00:28:21

by all of these bits of things are going to happen is only a bit at

00:28:21 --> 00:28:24

the end of the day, compared to the hereafter, eventually, the

00:28:24 --> 00:28:25

dunya will pass away.

00:28:26 --> 00:28:29

So that's why the one who's recognized this and this is what

00:28:30 --> 00:28:33

is being taught here that if you know Allah, and the way he system

00:28:33 --> 00:28:36

is in the world, this is just about knowing Allah, if you know

00:28:36 --> 00:28:37

that, then don't ever get surprised.

00:28:39 --> 00:28:42

Don't ever get surprised about what's going to happen in this

00:28:42 --> 00:28:45

world of the difficulties and the griefs and so on.

00:28:46 --> 00:28:50

You're saying that the people who are just initiates just beginners.

00:28:51 --> 00:28:55

They are people who only recognize Allah subhanho wa Taala when good

00:28:55 --> 00:29:01

things are happening, so that they are happy, when difficulties

00:29:01 --> 00:29:05

happen, they're off balance. And he said, That's not good enough.

00:29:05 --> 00:29:08

If you want to get higher and closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:29:09 --> 00:29:14

then you need to have recognition of Allah and what to do. Right?

00:29:15 --> 00:29:17

in whatever situation it is.

00:29:18 --> 00:29:22

And at that time, you need to be calm. And you need to still

00:29:22 --> 00:29:26

maintain the etiquette and you need to still be satisfied and you

00:29:26 --> 00:29:28

need to still submit to Allah subhanaw taala even at those

00:29:28 --> 00:29:31

times, see everything comes from Allah the good things that happen

00:29:31 --> 00:29:35

to you, they come from Allah and the difficulties that you may face

00:29:35 --> 00:29:39

also come from Allah, they all coming from the same place. So

00:29:39 --> 00:29:42

when you think of it in that way, the way your body Salam used to

00:29:42 --> 00:29:45

think of it, when he had difficulties that it's all coming

00:29:45 --> 00:29:48

from Allah, then your focus goes to Allah rather than the issue.

00:29:49 --> 00:29:52

And then after that, you just feel much more safer because anybody

00:29:52 --> 00:29:55

that gets in touch with Allah subhanaw taala they're made to

00:29:55 --> 00:29:59

feel very safe, irritations and inconveniences may be there but

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

They will know that all of this in the model ursery, you saw

00:30:03 --> 00:30:07

everything will change. That's why that's the difference between a

00:30:07 --> 00:30:10

sodic somebody who just believes and who's confirmed the truth of

00:30:10 --> 00:30:13

the message, and the one who's really internalized it was called

00:30:13 --> 00:30:17

a Siddiq. This is the difference. You know, if we look at ourselves,

00:30:17 --> 00:30:21

I mean, not disbelievers. But we look at even believers who do get

00:30:21 --> 00:30:22

a bit

00:30:24 --> 00:30:27

out of control when these things happen, and they start complaining

00:30:27 --> 00:30:31

and they're wondering, so at the end of the day, the the solid is

00:30:31 --> 00:30:35

the person who has believed, but it's not fully internalized,

00:30:35 --> 00:30:40

that's acidic, he never gets. He never has any uncertainty,

00:30:40 --> 00:30:44

uncertainty about this. This is what Sheikh Abdullah Congo he

00:30:44 --> 00:30:47

explains in his commentary about this and as long as you are in

00:30:47 --> 00:30:51

this world, do not be surprised at difficulties, misfortunes and

00:30:51 --> 00:30:56

sorrows. Oh traveler, a worshipper, oh devotee while you

00:30:56 --> 00:31:00

are in this earthly abode, do not feel surprised if clouds and

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

contamination settle over you. An amazing and surprising event is

00:31:05 --> 00:31:08

only something that is not expected to transfer.

00:31:09 --> 00:31:12

That can that is what's going to be surprising.

00:31:13 --> 00:31:16

Regarding the misfortunes and calamities of the world, nothing

00:31:16 --> 00:31:19

surprising happens. Such events are merely the natural

00:31:19 --> 00:31:23

manifestations of the attributes of the world. contamination and

00:31:23 --> 00:31:27

pollution are the natural and necessary characteristics of the

00:31:27 --> 00:31:32

world. Since Allah Most High has created it, it created them as a

00:31:32 --> 00:31:35

trial and a test to distinguish between the patient and the

00:31:35 --> 00:31:36

impatient.

00:31:37 --> 00:31:39

And between the novice and

00:31:40 --> 00:31:44

those who are unaware, and between the grateful and the ungrateful.

00:31:44 --> 00:31:48

That's the purpose of Allah subhanho wa taala. So now, we ask

00:31:48 --> 00:31:53

Allah subhanaw taala to grant us this insight, this understanding,

00:31:54 --> 00:31:57

and it makes life much easier. You know, I wish I get more of this,

00:31:58 --> 00:32:02

the dunya will become even easier. But really, really, this really

00:32:02 --> 00:32:05

changes perspective, you have to change this paradigm. And then

00:32:05 --> 00:32:07

you'll see that a lot of things in this world will become so much

00:32:07 --> 00:32:10

easier, then you'll realize that all these years that you've been

00:32:10 --> 00:32:14

sorrowful for no reason. You've been wondering, you know, you've

00:32:14 --> 00:32:18

been disconcerted for no reason you've been crying and wailing and

00:32:18 --> 00:32:23

you've had endless sleepless nights. You've lost weight. You've

00:32:23 --> 00:32:26

not enjoyed the world, you have not enjoyed your food, you've had

00:32:26 --> 00:32:31

suspicions about everybody, all of that will disappear. This is it.

00:32:31 --> 00:32:35

This is just the paradigm change you need to have. And this is what

00:32:35 --> 00:32:38

this book does. May Allah subhanaw taala bless the author, and the

00:32:38 --> 00:32:42

commentator, and everybody else that has helped to get this to us.

00:32:43 --> 00:32:46

So may Allah give us the Tofik always, always be looking at

00:32:46 --> 00:32:48
