the remembrance of the destroyer of all pleasures.
Allah subhanho wa Taala says in the Quran what we read earlier
will enable wonder, we will surely
test you.
Noble one, we will surely test you
be che in mental health with just a small amount of health of fear.
We shade in mental health. While jus and some hunger, some hunger
when accessing mental, mental and work or is it when asked him
and while he will unfussy with some rats and with a decrease
mark these words very well as well were knocks in Noxon means to
decrease when actually means
a decrease in your wealth.
In your lives, you lose some lives here and their loved ones, etc.
And some crops
if you're essentially farming talks about sustenance,
but Well, Bashir is sobbing, but give glad tidings to those who
make supper. Now, the way this sentence is constructed, the words
that I use the expression that has been chosen, if a person ponders
over this, they'll understand through this the reality of the
world and then our task in this world. First and foremost, Allah
subhanaw taala says, while an evolution can we will surely
assuredly with certainty, most definitely test you. So it's going
to come a test is going to come.
Now, if Allah subhanaw taala is saying that for sure, I'm going to
do that, then immediately from our mind, what they should do is they
should eliminate any idea that we will have, that we could go
through this world without having a single problem. So almost
acknowledge and recognize and accept that we are going to have
problems. When you know you're going to have problems in your
business, in your life or in anything, then what do you do if
you know you're gonna have problems?
You know, you're gonna have problems underway. We then try to
humans, what do we do? We then try to make plans for that.
Contingency plans. We try to seek protection, we try to seek the
best way to deal with those plans. If you don't know you're going to
have a problem and you're caught out cold and you have no idea then
you're like more like a lame duck. But if you do No, then you know
how to deal with it in that situation, you've taken the tools.
So understand this fully believe it our belief is in the Quran,
that Allah will definitely test us. Now how much is he going to
test us? That's for that we look at the next part well now blowgun
can be che in Allah subhanaw taala uses two words here be che in and
then he says be Noxon, be che him with a small amount shape B and
with some amount of health, of fear.
And some amount of jus, what does that mean? Hunger.
Now, the wording that's used here, the expression that's used here
gives us an understanding that it's not going to be fear or
hunger, that we cannot stand at all.
It is something that is only a small amount of what could he
could have given us. It's only a small amount, because it's not to
kill people with it's to benefit them by is to show them the
reality to remind them of the reality of this world that this is
what it's going to be. So I'm surely going to test you. So let's
acknowledge that and be willing to accept and accept that and be
willing to then deal with it. And then he says he hasn't given us
how to deal with it yet. He just tells us a reality that this is
going to happen. And if you don't believe it, look at the people of
the past. And if nothing has happened to you until now, just
wait for it to happen to you. And then it's only going to be a bit
of hope, a bit of jus compared to what it could have been. So when
we do have it when you do have a problem, then we can then realize
that it could have been much
worse, it's only this much.
And then B knocks him in baby knocks him mineral mineral I'm
worthy well unfussy with Thammarat. And then with a
decrease, not an elimination,
insane elimination. Don't say totally, we'll just take it away
from you completely. But there'll be a decrease be knucks. Noxon
means na casa, it means to just, just just decrease of your wealth
of your,
of your lives. And because Allah subhanaw taala always gives you
something now, if you were to lose a lost loved one, and you know the
pain, you feel immediately at that loss. And for about 234 days after
it, don't we notice that it actually gets easier afterwards,
if our memories were to remain the same, right? It's very ingenuous,
the way our memories work.
If they were to remain the same as the day that a person that we lost
somebody that a person died. And you were to think of it in the
same way, a year afterwards, a five year afterwards, can you
imagine how difficult that would be? How many miseries would pile
up? How many difficulties would pile up, if there would be so
fresh, you're so it's so fresh, that you've lost something and you
feel so bad about it. And if that same feeling was there after a
year, and you lost something else as well, and then two months
later, you lost? That would be three major burdens on our mind.
We couldn't function. So Allah subhanho wa Taala has made
everything just so beautifully. And then so these things, they
will just decrease mean oxen
and also be Noxon, a decrease, how much is that decrease for how long
is that decrease? Nothing has been made definite. It just depends on
the context. So Allah subhanaw taala uses the natira here should
always look at the beautiful usage of the word nukkad. Arabic is a
wonderful language, just by the fact that he's used the word in
this non particularized way. And it's Nuxe him not been Naxi they
say okay, what is this decrease they're looking for? This has been
x in his general, it's so versatile is so fluid, it can work
in different situations.
Now the solution hasn't been given to us. What we must do with this
hasn't been given to us. Yes. Now Allah subhanaw taala gives us the
solution and look in such a beautiful way he tells us how to
deal with it.
Instead of saying, if this happens to you, now you must do this. And
the reward for this is this. That's not the way the court if
you look at the way the Quran works, this is the beauty of the
language of the Quran. It's a genre of writing and composition,
which is beyond any other genre of writing, and you have to
appreciate and understand it. So Allah subhanaw taala takes a jump
from there, and instead of saying, so if any of these things happen
to you, then you must do this. And then you will feel like this, he
just says, well, Bashir is slavery and straight, and give glad
tidings to the ones who are patient. Now anybody with any
sense reading this, they're gonna understand that all of this
requires summer, I must do summer. And if I do summer, then Allah is
good, glad giving Glad Tidings to this. So all of the irrelevant
part, which we're supposed to just think about, which the writer
doesn't have to write, that's what he talked about eloquence in
writing. But that's why the Quran has to be understood for us to
benefit from it. Because this is the kind of filling in of the
gaps, and everybody's gap is going to be different here. Because
everybody's difficulty is different. Everybody's challenge
and test is going to be different. But what we're told to do, or all
people are told to do is, as Allah says, give glad tidings to the
people give glad tidings to those who have patients now, we don't
have to go and give credit happenings to anybody. This is a
glad setting for us in this situation, whereby she was
sobbing, like given the gluttonous class is done, it's a done deal.
Then he spends a lot of time now, as long as he spent on telling us
what the problems might be, Allah subhanaw taala spends telling us
because this is a very important part, because somebody has to be
understood. And when you understand somebody, no problem in
this world becomes it becomes much easier, most problems you will
deal with very easily. Only when you get really difficult problems
will you have to exercise a bit more push in your mind and you
know, Tawakkol and Iman, but again, it's easy to surmount, you
will we will not be thrown out by small small issues that come our
way.
While Bashir disobedience give glad tidings to the ones who makes
over
a Latina now why Allah subhanaw taala generally doesn't waste his
words at all. But in this case, he seems to be really speaking about
in detail, a Latina either a saga to masiva those who when a
calamity reaches them,
call Lou they say now he's telling us what to do in LA he were in LA
Raggio in that Allah who are in LA urogen We are for Allah and to Him
we will return this is the dua when we read when we lose some
thing when something bad happens is just to remind us that just as
this thing faded, this thing broke. This thing disappeared. It
didn't happen, something bad happened. Likewise, our own self.
We're going to also recede from this world. So these are just
examples that if the phone breaks, that's just an example of what's
going to happen to us is to remind us Alladhina either Asaba, Tomas
Eva Catarina lillahi, wa inna la Raj, Arun, we are all possessed by
Allah we are all for Allah we all belong to Allah. and to Him we
will definitely return in a urology room. Willa Iike Ali him
now Allah subhanaw taala really wants to emphasize the benefits of
Sobor Willa Iike Allah him Salah to me, Robbie him Rama. So then he
carries on he says, These are the people upon them is the Salawat
and Rama. Something that we send to the prophets of Allah, we ask
Allah to send to the president Salam, Allah is saying, I will
send this to the people who are patient, these are the people whom
upon them will be Salah tune again, the usage of the word
Salawat is not what I call la hemos Salah at one salats the
salah know what I got to him, Son, Our turn upon them our blessings,
again, the Nikita is used here the you know, the non particular
raised term is used here. What kind of blessings what kind of
benefits only Allah knows.
Anwar that's what they say it's for 10 We did not realize for 10
We it's for to show variety. So upon them will be blessings. Salah
to me, Robbie him from the Lord. What Rama tune and again and
mercy. Again, general mercy. We won't know what that mercy is. But
it will come to us, then we will only realize it's a mercy
afterwards.
What will our Eco humulene Worth and then Allah subhanaw taala
clinches again says and these are the people who are the guided
ones. Because now they realize how the biggest lesson of this life,
they've recognized the nature of this world that there's going to
be issues,
there's going to be issues. And they've realized how to deal with
them. Because they have done. They have done patients, anybody who's
got any turmoil in their life, anybody who's had any problem in
their life, if they just focus on this verse, and just sit and
reflect the 15 minutes half an hour, how it relates to them what
they should be doing, then they will find so much scope in this,
they will find so much solace, so much comfort in this. Now, to
understand the nature of the world. Allah subhanaw taala has
made it very clear it's going to happen. So now to understand the
nature of the world and bring the other Hadith in that I mentioned,
which is x zero Decra has Imola that
make abundantly make remembrance or abundantly remember, the
destroyer of all pleasures.
abundantly remember the destroyer of all pleasures.
So by remembering death, there's a number of things that happen.
That's why the machete they tell us to do more aka to remote when
you can, too, every now and then to sit and think about death. And
if you do remember your diff, once every now and then it's really,
really beneficial. So one of the things that you will do
is that there are two things that happen to us in this world. One
are the bounties that we get one of the good things that happen to
us times of prosperity,
when things go very well in our life.
And number two is the adversities which we already kind of spoke
about, and difficulties happen for us.
Somebody just having a bad time finding a decent job, the only
jobs that he can even see alcohol related. Haram related happens so
much to people. And you look at these people and you think
Subhanallah
some of these people, sometimes they are people who you know are
trying to do the right thing. And this particular challenge comes to
them.
So you wonder why it comes to them? Not always. But a lot of the
time what I've seen is somebody who has come to me with that kind
of question. It's a person who's trying to do the right thing who's
trying to become close to Allah subhanaw taala This is the kind of
challenges put to him that the only job he can find is a haram
job. Because now it looks like he has made an advance to get close
to Allah subhanaw taala and Allah wants to give him a kind of
shortcut and to test him. So if he is test goes right in this case,
then Allah will speed up his closeness to him.
There's some people I've seen
very nice people, but they're always in some kind of trouble.
was one brother in Allah bless him, he was the one who was you
can say partially
the cause for my moving to America, I was gonna intending to
move there anyway but he was the representative of the masjid
looking for an imam in Santa Barbara.
And you know the way he was the smallest of the four places that
invited me after I finished studying in India.
And,
but they were the most persistent all the others are big mustards.
This was the smallest Masjid 100 100 people for Juma. But they
were the most persistent, and it just drew my heart that side. So I
decided to go there. Then after the eight years that I was there.
After a few years, he moved out to another but then we stayed in
contact. But sometimes he's involved in an accident. Sometimes
he's got this problem, that problem, and he's the nicest man
down there.
And lucky, I've done business with him. So he will be willing to give
up his share, if there's a problem. See, he's that kind of
very honest individual. But Allah has put him through many of these
troubles, many of these troubles, but I think it's only to make him
closer to Allah subhanaw taala and he's able to deal with them.
He's able to deal with them.
So we must ask Allah whenever we have a trouble, we must ask Allah
give us the ability to deal with it, then because we're in that
situation anyway. We want it removed, of course, but we ask
Allah Allah grant us the ability to deal with it in the right way.
If we ask Allah that and he helps us, then when we do come out of
it, Inshallah, and you have to come out of it, because in the
illusory usara, with every difficulty will come use certain
ease. And another Hadith, a hadith mentions that, no, you know, you
will never be,
you know, you will never have two difficulties together. So, you
know, maybe one big compound difficulty, but then they'll
always have to come some ease after it, it's the nature of the
world. So we're gonna go through it anyway, insha Allah, but if we
can go through it by picking up many bonus points along the way,
and getting closer to Allah subhanaw taala in that way, then
why not?
Because we will just only do better for us. So what mode does
is it does two things. One is
the difficulties that we go through, when we know that we're
eventually going to die ourselves anyway. And we're gonna have all
of these difficulties that we're going through Allah subhanaw taala
has promised great things for the people who are patient, then
remembering death only makes it more of a reality, that things are
going to end
the for the person who it's the most difficult to deal.
Difficulty is the most difficult to deal with, for, you know, for
what kind of person for the person who thinks they're gonna stay in
here forever, they want a smooth ride through the world completely
without any difficulty, they have no focus on the hereafter. But
when you know that, whatever difficulty is happening here is a
reality that is going to happen. And I can use it to my benefit,
and it will benefit me in the hereafter where I have to
definitely go, then all of this becomes easier.
Because for example, in this world, if I'm going to, if I know
that I have to go to a certain place to pick up an award of
something, now on the way I have a few problems, those problems, I
will not focus on because mashallah I have a big prize in
mind. And all of this sacrifice that I'm giving in between is much
easier, I wouldn't have gone there normally sit normally in that
situation, normally in a different situation, because it would just
be too much hassle for me to go there. All of these things, then
if I was going to go there, because if you're gonna go
somewhere begrudgingly, and something happens, then you start
blaming people around you. Look what happened. This is what
happened. Let me remind somebody encourages you, pushes you forces
you pressures you to go somewhere. And then all these little things
happen in between, right? You get late or you're going late when
this happens, or you get a burst higher, or whatever the case is,
you start complaining. But if you're the one who's driving, who
who's motivated to go somewhere, and all of these things happen,
there's no complaint whatsoever, your silence, right, because
that's the way human beings are. So Allah subhanho wa Taala is
reminding us to do this on a macro level with our life in Ghana and
the hereafter, then all of these minor things in this world,
however big they seem, they are minor compared to the hereafter,
the old, the old like that, right? So what death will remind us of
that if we're going to go then what's all of these little things
that happen anyway? And if I'm make supper, then Subhan Allah,
look at the bounties that are getting the hereafter. Number two,
the other benefit that remembering death gives us what this hadith
mentions
is it's a has Imola that it is the destroyer of all pleasures. So you
know, the other problem that we have in the one problem that
people have is when they have difficulty, they don't know how to
deal with it. So they fail. Number two is when we have too much
prosperity, we get too indulgent. And then we lose ourselves. That's
the other fear.
So both of these are problems. So for example,
I want a new phone.
Right? Because, you know, my phone is fine, but I want to give this
to my son. So I want to buy a new phone.
Right? Now, clearly what happens is, when you're buying a new
phone, you don't just go into I mean, the way phones work these
days, with all the choices that you have, most people don't just
go and pick up a new phone, they decide which one they want, you do
a bit of research, you get a bit excited, because if my new phone
is going to have dual sim, right, which it does give you from an
example, right, it has dual sim, then that for me is, you know, a
really good factor. Because when I travel, then I don't have to carry
two phones. So all of these things make you feel good.
All of these things are incentives that make you feel good. Now how
much am I allowed to indulge because you know, phonebank
experience for a lot of people carbine experience, they are very
great experiences. And companies really exploit these experiences
that people have, it's all based on knifes, right? At the end of
the day, it's all based on knifes, but they exploit this and they
know how to explain it with the right kind of, you know, the steel
frames and you know, the fineness and the hardness and the
flexibility and the curve. And, you know, all of this is just to
exploit our knifes at the end of the day. Right? A lot of it is
gimmick, a lot of it is aesthetics at the end of the day is not just
about utility, but a lot of it is about aesthetics. So you indulge
How much are you allowed to indulge? If we remember our death
more, then it will cut out the indulgence part. And in sha Allah,
it will streamline it to just the utility.
The even if we get something that's nice, and there's nothing
wrong with getting something that's nice, but we're not going
to be overly obsessed with it is not going to lead us to boast is
not going to lead us to exalt and to think we're better than anybody
else. Or love it to such a degree that we give up everything else.
But it will cut out all of that because we will think at the end
of the day, this is also going to be straight, this phone was very
nice when it came out. But look what happened to it, my new phone
will be the same thing.
In fact, what the world is teaching us today is that the more
you get of new things, and the more frequently they come out, the
less happiness and satisfaction you have before you would have
much more satisfaction with a new product for a much longer period
than now because by the time you've got your new phone,
there'll be another one that comes out two weeks later, with some
other feature and immediately half of your heart becomes on that one.
So then you lose when once your heart becomes a surgery, something
else you lose the heart with this. So where is the satisfaction? If
you don't if you realize that right from the beginning, yes,
I've got this Alhamdulillah Allah has given me this for the utility
of it and hamdulillah that's fine, you will not you will not be
unsatisfied. That's why I'm still inshallah satisfied with this
form.
You know, it still does the job, I don't feel the necessity to get
rid of it.
Now, if you do want to get rid of something, then give it as a gift
to somebody.
The general ruling is, for example, I go to Hajj and I find
another job I want to buy. And I remember I've got so many at home.
The only justification for me to buy another one is if I give the
others away, and sadaqa or I sell them I mean, who's going to sell
your bus, you know, this way, you can't keep too many things.
Abundance as extravagance, but giving away things and getting new
things are probably still awesome, good that he got a really
expensive garment, then he gave it away. So that's completely fine,
to give away things.
But the main thing in our life is how to manage our life. Because at
the end of the day, we're not talking about a particular
situation. We are talking about a general approach to life. And as
Sally Keane, as people who are on the path wanting to make some
sense of this all if we can, if we can deal with this aspect of
remembering our death and remembering that this is
eventually where we are going to end. Then what happens is that it
will take the obsessive pleasure out of worldly things, the
obsessive pleasure out of worldly things, you will still get the
pleasure, but it won't be obsessive. You will not be
excessive. It'd be moderated. In fact, you like your things for
longer. You will be satisfied with them. When you stop liking your
phone even if it's fine. You stop liking your car, even though it's
fine is because your heart is attached to something else and the
next one something else. When that doesn't happen you
You're satisfied with what you have, then isn't that a good
thing?
How difficult is it buying a new phone? How difficult is buying a
new car and how difficult is buying a new home? it difficult to
do these things they waste a lot of our time.
Especially in this day and age of variety, when you had no variety
was easy, just go and buy it. But now it wastes a lot of our time.
And that's time taken away from what we should be doing in this
world.
This is all excessive. So remembering our death will will
eliminate will not eliminate will reduce and maybe eliminate the
pleasures of what we have. And there's nothing wrong with having
pleasure of something new.
The prophets of Allah isn't was wonderful, he hardly ate meat.
He hardly ate a decent meal,
dates and water, nothing will be cooked in the house, you couldn't
buy ready meals. In those days, you had to eat whatever you could,
and most of it was uncooked dates and water. But then once he's at a
doubt, you know he is he's at some food where they've cooked an
animal. And he says to the person, he says, give me the shoulder. So
it gives him a shoulder and the promise of awesome eating. Because
give me another one. He gave him another one. Give me another one.
And the person said you had a sort of an animal only has two
shoulders.
SubhanAllah. Now this was the promise a loss of his own way of
doing something. So then he said had you had you look for another
and given it to me you could have continued to give me one until I
asked you
are you restricted the Mercy of Allah Subhana Allah you restricted
the book of Allah. So now they were no more in there.
This was very different from earlier the Allahu Anhu. There was
another case where I forget the exact story. But the wrestlers
have asked him to do something. And although it was all beyond all
odds, he says, Okay, fine, I'll go and it happened. Yeah, it was
about the tree giving dates. Personal awesome. There was some
people who needed some food for us and set us the date for some
trees. So he went up. And he could have said as well like this
person, that all the way doesn't have any dresses the wrong season
or something. Now he went he says the president wants you to give
dates and it just started dropping dates on them.
So it's the work cool on Allah subhanho wa taala. And
remember, remembering our death, this will take out the excessive
and obsessive pleasure in things that wastes a lot of our time. And
that makes us do nearly people too much. And number two, it will make
it easy for us to deal with our hardships. And what more do we
need than that?
Because that's the only two states we have in this world states of
prosperity, streets of adversity. Remember our death that that's
where we're going to end up. And when Allah subhanho wa taala. Now
you might be thinking, but this is so difficult, I don't know how to
go through with it. What do I make sober? Make sober, sober means Oh
Allah, I leave it to you.
Tell me the best way to deal with this. I'm going to be patient, I'm
not going to overly cry about this issue. Then Allah subhanaw taala
will bring about a good turn from this as difficult as it may sound,
because a lot of the time we look very logically at things and that
then takes away the spirituality of it. Because we're very well we
are logical beings at the end of the day. So we think no, but this
is so difficult. Whatever it may be, whatever the situation may be,
but I've lost this. I am lumbered with this,
right? But you don't know that things could turn out to be much
better. You may, we may think that we're not in the ideal situation
right now.
But Allah subhanaw taala has the ability to change things,
regardless of what the world thinks. Regardless of the way we
may think, right now that how can this become a better situation?
That's the most important thing. But for that, how does one get
this understanding?
How does one get this understanding? How does one
remember death? We can't wait for difficult things to happen to us.
We can't wait for accidents. That that's when we remember death. We
can't wait for people to die and say well remember death? How many
people do we want to die every day? That you know people die
every day anyway? We don't even think about them. People die every
day. Subhanallah look at that Palestinian story. Those settlers
they put that thing inside the house and kill the child now the
father's died as well.
May Allah subhanaw taala granting Jana at the end of the day Shaheed
you know at the end of the day Shaheed Subhan Allah so for them,
it's inshallah probably better than the misery they were living
in Walla Walla. But it's difficult for the people around them, and
for the remnants of their family, the mother, the daughter, right?
But at the end of the day,
all of these things, all of these things, they're nothing compared
to what they are essentially the temporary nature of this world.
That's what it is. Some just happens earlier. Some just
happened later.
But this is the master lesson of this life. I think that if you
remember that, how do you remember your death? How does how does this
become a point in our mind though, as I said, you can either have
difficulties and then you might remember
But that's not the way to do it. The way to do it is to be
perpetually and that's why the vicar of Allah subhanho wa Taala
will help this because what the vicar of Allah subhanho wa Taala
does is that it creates love for Allah subhanaw taala it creates a
reminder about him, that's what it is. It's a reminder, when you
remember what Allah subhanaw taala we may be just doing it as just a
rote liquor, remembrance, Lila Hill, Allah Allah, Allah, whatever
he may be doing, right the maraca, but whatever we may be doing. But
what it does is that eventually gives Allah a place in our heart
where he should have been. And when Allah comes back into our
heart the way it should be, then we become fully human beings. Then
we start seeing the right things. A distorted human being is a
disoriented human being a human being devoid of Allah subhanaw
taala is a disoriented human being this orientation means that we're
not oriented in the right direction. We keep going into the
wrong direction. Our likes are what Allah subhanaw taala doesn't
want us to make the likes for us.
Our hatred is not what Allah wants us to hate. The hatred of Allah
subhanaw taala become our likes, and the likes of Allah subhanaw
taala become our hatred. That's a disoriented human being who we
call high, Iran in Arabic, astonished, befuddled, confused.
So when vicar comes into our heart, then we start aligning
ourselves. This is the means of aligning ourselves reorienting
ourselves, because when you take the name of Allah subhanaw taala.
It's so powerfully man because it says that the word Allah is so
powerful that even if it's taken in heedlessness, like somebody
just mentioned it, it still has a benefit.
It still has a benefit.
That's how powerful is if you are sitting down and doing your
thicker, then this is the benefit that you will get from it.
And
vicar for for different people is different. We don't have any time
right now. But I'll just read you one of the categories which
relates to us. He's saying here that vicar having a regimen of
liquor, a series of thicker, a routine of thicker, it's called a
word in Arabic word, where this comes from modes, it's a place
where you go to somewhere for water mode, it is the place of
water, place of drinking for animals, for anybody. It's the
mode of source, the font of life, essentially. So weird, is a way to
get to the font. It's the methodology behind that. That's
what you call with. A rod is where you get the word comes to becomes
our that refers to, you know, a spiritual world of some sorts. So
he's saying that word is split up into three different types. First
is you've got the word of the Abaddon zoo heard of the
Mujahideen? Right if you want if you want to understand this, read
the beginning of guidance of Imams Azadi, the Buddha in hedaya.
Essentially, he's got a vicar for every moment of the day. And if
you read that, you think, how do you do that? When do you have time
to work. And he even says in there, if you really, really,
really have to work and have no other means of sustenance, then
you spend this amount of time going out to look for something to
it, otherwise you can stay and do thicker. So he's got two hours for
every occasion. He's got, you know, something for every moment
of the day. It's like extreme. But this is the word of the abandoned
Zoho people who have literally given up cells themselves up to
zero abstinence from the world they'd want no care, they have the
emotional healing and those who are just constantly trying, that's
that that's one category of people. The second category is our
category what to do early sulukim in Ursa it in the people of the
salute, those who are trying to follow the path trying to be on
the path, they will do something different. And number three, is
the word of the ILO musulman allottee theme, these are the high
ones who've already reached there will become something different.
There will become something different.
And this we don't have time to go into this in detail, but I'll just
mention
the word of the first people emotional healing I've already
explained that night and day they've got a thicker cut out
they've got an activity for every moment that relates to Allah
subhanaw taala, which is extremely difficult.
And to ask me do that in this world, in this time, in this place
where we live, it's very, very, it's virtually impossible. And
anybody who tries to do it will probably suffer. Because one thing
we have to realize a lot of the time what people do is they miss
understand the deen for Mohalla for tune for Mujahid the two
knifes sorry for eliminating the knifes completely so they don't
allow the enough pleasures. The Profit and Loss I'm used to. He
asked for he asked for the third leg. Now, isn't that against the
normal that you would think of man who has been greedy that people
somebody might say obviously he had a reason to explain why he did
what he did. But the promise the loss of when there was pleasure
around you would take
it, you will use it.
So that is the balance that needs to be there. The majority needs to
be for the hero. But then you are allowed, you're allowed to express
your satisfaction sometimes the differences I mentioned this
another not token I'll mention this more detail sometime later.
But when the for the live no Al was hardly ever seen smiling. But
the day his son died, he was smiling.
weird situation. And, you know, because that's what he felt that
he had to kind of go against his Nuptse feeling of the loss of his
son. So he smiled to prove his satisfaction with Allah subhanaw
taala. But when the prophets Allah was losing his granddaughter, he
didn't do that. He cried.
So that is releasing the right emotion at the right time. And
only a prophet can do that.
He didn't smile. He wept to the surprise of the Sahaba who around
him and he said, why do you weep? He said, it's allowed to have that
expression of grief, but not too well about it. See, that's the
difference. So the deen is not what for the liberal al did,
although it's, that's fine. That's his expression of it.
It's what the province allows. So it is allowed.
That's the dean.
And then he says what am I with the siding, the people who are on
the path there were this Alhaji Mina Shiva, Shiva really was
Shiva.
It's for them to come out of everything that is going to take
you away from Allah subhanaw taala to kind of detach yourself, try
your best to detach yourself of things that make you heedless.
What Torquil Allah, if you will our
and to abandon these unnecessarily real unnecessary relationships and
to come away from anything that's an obstacle in the path of Allah

Are you and then to purify the heart from bad habits and from
defects? What Leah to her bill further led by the Togliatti
Homina Rosa, Rosa ill after removing the blameworthy traits of
the HUD than to adorn them with the praiseworthy traits of the
huts were a burden to whom the current were hid. Well, who am I,
you're, you're a unilateral shape. They're a bada is one type of
vicar, meaning one regimen of vicar, which is the one he says
that the sheikh tells them to do, lie as he do it, he, they should
not do more than that. And they should not do more than that,
that's all they must do. So you know, some people, they just want
to do more and more and more, they think, you know, when they have
that vibrancy in the beginning, they just want to do more, give me
more, give me more, give me more that the Sahaba did that with a
promise the lesson as well. They shouldn't do that. Because that is
not you have to regularly you have to slowly slowly coaxed the
Ibaadat in our life, and make it find the place get used to it,
then increase, try to do too much at once your knifes is going to
That's enough, is going to protest. So slowly, slowly,
slowly. And mashallah, you see, right. You know, when you've had
this experience with different people and their journeys, you
actually see that the people who do it slowly, but regularly, they
are always more successful.
It's not to say that the person can never be successful, no,
there's a more difficult way, it's a risky way, the one when you take
on too much, but the one who would and eventually those people have
to calm down, they realize it afterwards, because our days
aren't the same. But the people who take it easy, or you see their
regular, okay, they might not have a bit you know, they might not
come and start having a big beard image immediately. Right? That you
can tell the having a difficulty about it, but they are being
regular in the car, they've been regular in their persistence and
then slowly, slowly mashallah it allows the beard to come, he
allows the hijab to be covered, you know, and so on. And so, with
the small small things like that, sometimes people will do it
straightaway and then they they deal with all of these
difficulties in front of them, people challenging them, people
making fun of them, or you know, them finding difficulties, then it
gets difficult. It is slowly slowly you get coaxed into it, it
makes a big difference.
Of course, whatever is fun, it has to be done. Whatever is Haram has
to be abstain from there's no doubt about that. But for
additional things additional additional Nawab Phil
ADKAR and worships and things of that nature has to be coaxed him.
Unless it's a special day 27th of Ramadan, Ramadan or something like
that is different story anyway.
So they must not increase on this. But then all of this should be
done by Jim alkyl. Who do to him or Rob with the heart fully
focused on it? And then in being in the presence of Allah subhanaw
taala that's eventually what needs to happen, which is that a person
gets into the presence of Allah prisons of Allah subhanho wa Taala
