What I want to speak about today is

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

that the way to give

00:00:03 --> 00:00:04

and the way

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

to give and prepare your akhirah because that's

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

the real world.

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

And one of the ways to calm the

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

anger of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala

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

and to become closer to Allah Subhanahu wa

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

Ta'ala is literally to give.

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

There's a whole study. It's published as The

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

Thinking Person's Guide to Happiness. Prince Ghazi wrote

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

the book.

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

And in there, he argues from a verse

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

of the Quran where Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:00:29 --> 00:00:29

talks about

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

what a Mu'min and a believer is going

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

to receive in the hereafter.

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

It's gonna be endless giving from Allah.

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

As Allah says, it will be an

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

It will be a continual, non ending giving

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

from Allah

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

That non ending giving from Allah

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

to human beings, to the believers who go

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

to paradise,

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

a lot of it is to do with

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

you giving, with us giving.
