One person, he says that there was a certain perfume that he was
really interested in. But it's a very top brand and the minimum the
cost is 170 pound for a bottle.
So he didn't have the ability to buy one. Then one day he went into
somebody's house,
into the bathroom, and that person had toiletries from that perfume
company, which must have been worth several 100 pounds sitting
there as just general toiletries, you know, hand washing, stuff like
that. But for that person, it was a casual thing, because he was
another level. So there's levels.
What level has Allah placed you at? Do Shakur at that level?
As long as you know, you have to be happy with the level. If you
pretend simply try to get to another level. That's a problem if
Allah takes you to another level that's different.
But otherwise, stay at your level and be satisfied.

What Colusa Lika horrible Mina Shoukry Nicola till Madiba, what

This is quite a profound statement.
A lot of people struggle with this.
A lot of people struggle with the idea of
voluntary poverty
and anger at not having what others have.
It's a major dilemma for a lot of people. It keeps them awake at
night. It keeps them frustrated.
Because maybe they've not been able to make investments like
others have been able to, well, they don't have a job that pays
them as much, or they don't have a husband, that can buy them what
their friends husbands can buy them.
And for the other people, it's the other way round, lesser on a
lesser level, it's the other way around.
They don't value what Allah has given them.
So what he says this essentially what He says He says no that love
for wealth.
Despite Allah subhanaw taala choosing for his servant poverty
is anger.
You he's basically anger with Allah.
It's forcing yourself to become angry for no reason. That's a hoot
in Arabic, when he sought the concept of becoming angry the
sofort when you put it into that verb form, then it becomes more of
a sense of a forced to anger or pretense of anger or an
unreasonable anger. And then he says the love of poverty, the love
of poverty, the love of needy love of being media would say
fucker is actually means if the car which means the need for
something that someone else, which Why would you do that? Because you
think yourself poor. That's why.
So a faqeer is the one who's needy. That's why they use the
word faqeer for somebody who is needy for people's help and
assistance and money and food and so on. But they also use the word
Fakir for the one who's in need of Allah who has considered himself
in the path
to be looked after by Allah subhanaw taala to get close to
Allah. So essentially, they call Sufis faqeer that they call them
for killers as well. And you wonder why? It's because what it
really means in its essence is need.
Need, that's really what it is.
Now Ilaha illa Allah, so the love of being MIDI, obviously not to
Allah, that's not what he's speaking because that's
recommended because we are in need of Allah, we can't escape that.
Even though Allah subhanaw taala has chosen for that seven,
enrichment and wealth and abundance, then that's oppression.
He calls that oppression. And he said, all of this really is away
from the middle part. Because both of these are not the middle part.
They both extremes, what the middle path would be, and he says
each of these things is either running away from sugar for
thankfulness, gratitude for what Allah has given you.
little little Meriva because you just don't know enough of why and
what's the purpose behind these things and the benefits behind
these things.
And he says, it also leads to wasting your time.
Because you're wasting your time in the redundant if that's what
Allah has chosen for you accept it and take it and fulfill the rights
of that position that Allah has given you. Otherwise, you're
wasting your time and trying to do the opposite, to get to the
opposite.
Now, you're obviously as you know, there's a lot of wasting of time
to try to make more money, or to try to get more, there's no doubt
about that, that that does take a long time. But Allah has given us
the stream that we have that we're on. To get more than that, you're
going to have to make more effort, that's a waste of time and you're
not doing maybe there's going to be negligence, generally, there's
going to be negligence, where very few people are able to make a lot
of money, if it's not just coming easily, without sacrificing a
number of other things.
Because it's all require sacrifice, people don't become
wealthy just like that. Most people don't. And likewise, the
other way around, which is a bit more complicated. If you already
have a lot a lot than to try to have nothing. Why would you do
that there's a way to there's a way to deal with that is an easier
way to deal with that. So he says all of that is a wasting of your
time due to just having a deficiency in knowledge. What is
this, this principle that he's laying out this advice that he's
giving? What's the background to it, some of it is clear to
understand some of it is a bit more complicated, because I think
many of us, I think, as I said, the majority of people are trying
to become wealthier than they are.
And they think they're needing What does need mean, what does
poverty mean? That's relative.
There's people who have very, very, very little, and they think
they're fine. And there's people who have a little and they they
are poor. And they need because they have to keep going to ask
them, they're constantly worried about what's going to happen
tomorrow, and whether you're going to be able to feed their family.
And there's other people who have a lot and they have abundant more
than anybody else. And they still think they are in need. And they
still think they have to because they're competing with somebody
else. So whenever it's an unhealthy form of need at whatever
level you are, that's what he refers to. That's why I believe
that it's rough depends on the person and their culture, and what
they have.
If you're used to a certain, and it's easy for you to have that
standard of living, which may be a lot higher than somebody else. But
that's just normal for your your family, you don't do any extra
effort for that, that's what you do,
then SR for you will be beyond that. But this would be extra for
somebody else, who's much at a lower level. The simplest way to
understand that is
an example that once we were in Hajj in the European tents, you
know, the European American tents in Mina, which is of a decent
standard, even there, you get a few different classes, you know,
you get some without the ACS and some with the ACS and some that
are slightly smaller, better, more plush sleeping facilities and
others that just have a little rug on the floor, and you have to take
your own sleeping bag, and you do get that difference. So once what
happens is, as you probably know that there's always those people
that then sneak in, or however they get in, and they then sleep
on the streets outside the tents, and they put up rough shelters or
they just put a sheet on the floor and they stay there. They
generally from other countries, they generally not. They don't
have permits to come for Hajj. So what happens is that the people in
the tent from primarily from the UK, and maybe some Americans or
whatever, they start to feel really angry that why are the
Saudi government doing this to these people? Why are they leaving
them on the street for
so is a lot of frustration? And rightly so but maybe misplaced
completely? You know, the emotion was right, maybe. But I said,
look, the thing is that they're not supposed to be there. You
know, they have a system of accommodating this many pilgrims
and each area has their own according to the standard in those
areas. I mean,
according to their country, and according to an each country has
probably, you know, highest standard tents and lowest and the
tendency is what you pay for you get.
So they they're not really supposed to be here. They come in
here and then in a day or two on the second day or third day, it'll
make it a market. You know, they're selling everything and
they come here for a reason. And they've chosen to do this because
they can
they can deal with this. We couldn't see out there. I said you
guys could not sleep out there. Like you could not do a hedge like
that. That's why you've paid for this. There's other people who
could not even do your hedge. That's where they've paid to be
next to the gym rat in absolute five star tents, where they have
food running the whole day and ice cream available whenever you want
and so on and so
fourth, that's not what you've chosen that would have cost you
like three or 4000 pounds more. But you've chosen this, and
they've chosen that.
So that's not as rough.
That's not as rough. The other story that I think I may have
mentioned to you before when I was studying in southern poor,
that's in up. And Jerry people they are poorer than they are in
Gujarat because Gujarat state has a lot of people outside. So they
tend to be a bit wealthier. But there was some Gujarati students
there. I was from England, and I was there with my wife and child
living in a house outside and not in the madrasa. But when they had
to do a bit of shopping
after class, and then we had to go somewhere. So I took this student
along with me he was not a up student or from Bengal or Bihar,
or one of the poorest states. He was actually from Gujarat. Okay.
But he didn't come from a very wealthy background either.
So quickly what we did I went into a shop and I spent 200 rupees 200
rupees and very quickly just bought like a few things that I
needed for the house because I had a family with me. 200 rupees is
about just two pounds something but $3.02 pounds something it's
not much money, right?
That was kind of my two three days shopping.
And I came back and then we went wherever we needed to go and then
after the next day in class, he says, You did so much ethnicity
Fazal hijiki.
Like you
how do you say that in English, you squandered so much money
yesterday, you know, squandered so much money. It's like extra for
tab zero. You know?
I didn't realize that what he's saying like, What do you mean?
You go to England, I mean, you can you spend, can you go into any
shopping spend just to partner like any supermarket? You know?
It's like impossible, right? Okay, we are talking about 20 years ago,
but still.
So you see where he was coming from, he got a monthly stipend
from the madrasa of 40 rupees.
And in 10, in five minutes, I had spent five months of his salary,
his stipend. So for him that was like,
you know, it's like, somebody takes you to a really posh
restaurant, and they spend, I don't know, 1000 pounds there. In
one meal, like, are you crazy? You know, we just about spending
40 50% If you're lucky, you know. And this is like he spends several
100 pounds, is that kind of crazy. So it's the everybody looks at it
from their perspective. And if what you're doing is just normal
for you, not pretenses, not over the top, not arrogant not for
show, then that's your level.
One person, he says that there was a certain perfume that he was
really interested in. But it's a very top brand and the minimum
because he's 170 pounds for a bottle.
So he didn't have the ability to buy one. Then one day he went into
somebody's house
into the bathroom, and that person had toiletries from that perfume
company, which must have been worth several 100 pounds sitting
there as just general toiletries, you know, hand washing, stuff like
that. But for that person, it was a casual thing, because he was
another level. So there's levels.
What level is Allah placed you at? Do Shakur at that level?
As long as you know, you have to be happy with the level. If you
pretend simply try to get to another level. That's a problem if
Allah takes you to another level that's different.
But otherwise, stay at your level and be satisfied.
That's what he's saying. He's saying with Artica and Eman al
honey EULA Usili who who alphacom Because at the end of the day,
it's the faith we have to get by in the world but then it's the
faith that counts for the purpose of the Hereafter for the ultimate
life. And he says with Erica Eman oh honey yella Usili who will
fucker what Emmanuel 40 Rila Usili hoo hoo Alina
Camacho I feel hungry and Allah Hytera hole in them in arriba the
man la Usili who Imana who inland Fokker
Wello an A to hula of Sega who Dalek we're in the mean Eva de
Manila Usili. Who who Imana in la marina. Well, of course, to who
the sender who Dalek? Well, that really hits it on the head. He
says because
ultimately, the asset of value that we need to be concerned about
is our faith and developing that faith and maintaining and
preserving that faith, augmenting, enhancing, strengthening that
faith. So he says that the faith of a wealthy one.
Poverty can never reform that person's faith and
Be very hard,
it will be very hard for that person to be reformed by poverty.
And the faith of poor person cannot be reformed by
cannot be reformed by wealth or substance.
And then he quotes a hadith,
a hadith Bootsy. He says the Hadith could see so Allah subhanho
wa Taala says that among my servants are those
whose Iman can only be enhanced and made better by poverty.
I know that Allah is saying that that is what's good for the Iman.
And if I had enriched them, it would corrupt them.
They'd be corrupted
by wealth, there's a lot of people who have been corrupted by wealth.
I mean, you must have seen it. There's a lot of people who've
been corrupted by what they were fine when they were getting
getting by. And when they had too much, they just changed their
character and he messed up everything their behavior,
conduct, Outlook. And he says there's some of my servants whose
Eman can only be reformed by
the by Xena by independence, by wealth, and if I was to
force them into need that would corrupt them.
Essentially, this is almost like saying the radar will cover.
Ultimately, that's what it is right to be satisfied with Allah's
decree about you. This doesn't mean that if you are genuinely
struggling that you don't make an effort, the effort is there. But
effort for what that's that's the thing. Everybody makes an effort,
the wealthy make an effort, the poor make an effort, but what are
we making an effort for? We made an effort to be satisfied. But
then what satisfaction? That's the question. And how does one gain a
satisfaction for a balanced satisfaction, because some people
are not satisfied with abundance, and some people are satisfied with
less? Well, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam gave us many ways of doing
that. And he said, don't look at people above you in wealth,
because then that is what you will be encouraged to do.
And others are saying don't be
low. In fact, look at the people below you so you can actually have
thanks.
It's a dilemma. It's a dilemma. The world is a dilemma. The world
is a fitna the world is
it's an it's unnecessary, it's a place to be in because that's
where we are. And that's where the value is to be able to prepare our
hereafter but otherwise difficult.
So let's just say you've got a house and you're trying to now
decorate your house. And you want because you want to do some other
work, which is more important for you, you just want to decorate it
to a decent level and then carry on. So you talk to somebody you
see other places and somebody gives you an idea now don't get
that paint, do it a very specific color dewar. So do a would you
call it the the one wall needs to be special? Would you call that a
feature wall? And for that, oh, this special wallpapers and
finishes and, and all of that you can do for there? Like why? Why
would you do that just need just basic decent white paint and get
on with it. So now that's where you're going to be bringing your
guests so you know it's something you do once and for all the last
few 10 years you know you're not going to do it every two years or
whatever some people do actually do. I do did know somebody who
used to decorate their front room and middle row maybe as well.
Every two three years on an effort Subhanallah that's like literally
I live to be here you know Subhanallah
it's a it's a crazy one. So this made the person quite confused
because just wants to get it over and done where they made it
confused. said should we do that then then discussed with his wife
and said no, no, no, no, this so says we've got a feature wall
already. It's going to be the books. The key tabs, they're going
to be the feature. That's the future for us finish. You just
need white paint.
Henry there's no end to this otherwise and it's not haram that
you decorate it. It's not haram either. This is what's your
priority. What do you want to do?
You just want something function functionable and decent.
That's where it gets confusing. That's where it gets confusing
because it dunya will provide to you mashallah, it lays down you
know everything behind the theory. The dunya will lay down all of his
glamorous all of his adornments and there is no end to it of what
you can get.
For from you know, intricate decorations to intricate finishes
of, you know everything. It's just you can do it.
Yes, you don't want to get the cheapest
That's another dilemma. You can't get the cheapest because you're
going to be fixing it again soon. So you can't get that either. So
then it requires you to make an effort to find the right balance,
the right quality at the right price and the right standard. And
it's difficult, it's confusing.
Some people enjoy this.
They thrive on it. Allah make it easy. I guess it depends on what
your goal is in it.
If that is your goal, that's your showpiece of your life. I worked
hard and this is my showpiece. Now, let me invite you into my
showpiece. It's not just a place of temporary stay, but it's a
showpiece that I need to show you this is my accomplishment.
A lot of get people get caught up in that May Allah protect us
there's a there's a there's a temptation that's difficult. So
this hadith
is related this hadith al kotse that we just read Hadith al Kotze
it's related from an asymptomatic or the Allahu Anhu that
La ilaha illallah the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
related from Jibreel allihies Salah who related from ALLAH
SubhanA wa Tada that meant 100 D When Ian forgot the bars and he
will Mahara.
So, that's the beginning of the Hadith that I just mentioned
earlier, that whoever
humiliates
disgraces thinks lightly and looks down upon a friend of mine, then
he's essentially call for a war with me is declared a war with me.
And then it carries on it sir, is related by Abu yalla bizarre, the
Barani and ignobly dunya. In Kitab, Al Olia, the vocal Kitab
Alia. So this is what a person should think this hadith tells us
that what a person should think, which is that if Allah has
dealt recently with a person who has a
very advanced position, in a particular field of research, like
cutting edge, extremely important research.
That is a really important, it's a really important aspect of human
life and research. And he's made a lot of money in that. But he's
become religious, and turned to Allah subhanaw taala. And now, I
think it's the shaytaan, who came to him and said, You need to give
all of this up, go on retreat somewhere. And
and
I spoke to him I had him speak to another big shake, and ended up
that we both said to him, that you're, it's a mistake what you're
making, because you may feel fine about it for a few months
afterwards, and then you start missing it, because you're not
used to that. And what we want you to do is, so until now you're in
full dunya your your whole pursuit was the dunya. And now mashallah,
you've got the consciousness, and the conscience of Allah subhanaw
taala. So you want to make it full Dean. But you can't really escape
the dunya you just have to make sure it's not in your heart. And
what you have is an asset that you can help a lot of people with,
both in terms of influence of position and the expertise and the
money, you know, that there's a lot that you can do. So what we
need you to do, and this is what the accomplishment is that you
marry the two together. So you carry on, but then you are making
sure that you maintain your faith, enhance your faith, make up your
cover prayers, etc, etc. And make sure that you are able to achieve
both.
So now what happens is that
when you start doing it, because you don't know how to do that,
there's a lot of people who don't need know how to balance the deen
and duniya
the faith and the world. They've been so much interval they just
don't understand they think that Allah ma don't have any fun or
righteous people don't have any dunya at all. Because why? Why do
they think that because generally, a lot of the time when we
mentioned the stories of the righteous ones we mentioned, the
rather extreme stories, the perf stories of absolute perfection,
where people like Imam was already saying you should have nothing,
you know, the absolute Zoid stories. And that's they are
they're valid stories and they're good stories, but they're not easy
for everyone to attain not not straight away anyway. So they they
miss understand where they're supposed to go with this. So what
happens then with such people is that they go either back too much
into the dunya because they don't know the balance or they go. I
mean, there's probably less too much to the dean because the dunya
pulls further. So you have to help them balance themselves to get
both rights.
And that's important.
Then their work will become their dunya will become Dean, when
they're doing that for the right reason. That will become a source
of
reward for them as well because you just have to change the
intention now. So why give something like that up?
May Allah make it easy for people to move over? Otherwise a lot of
people think that there's no fun and enjoyment in the deen. It's
dry and there's nothing what Catholica facility was second. The
next point he makes is what cathodic of his sanity was
Secondly, from an out of Allah Allah Miata him who woman for Hema
and Allah, he wrote the Ebihara E, while hola Mia Coonley earlier
enemy ILAHA The hill is like a fat tomb. Rob Booker, Yeah, hello,
coma Yasha way after Mark and Allahumma Fira.
He says the same dilemma people have with regards to say,
regards to good health and bad health.
When you in bad health and you want good health, of course you
want good health.
And you should want good health. I mean, you can have good health but
of course you can also decide with Allah subhanaw taala that I'll
leave it to you.
And likewise, if you have saved her, why would somebody wants to
come? I'm not sure. So but he says that whoever knows Allah, the main
purpose is that when you know Allah, the whole purpose of all of
this is that once you know Allah subhanho wa Taala and that He
cares for you, especially if you're doing the right thing, and
it's not going to be a punishment. As long as you you're making an
effort and you love Allah, then Allah will love you, then Allah
loves you anyway. So the main thing is that whoever recognize
Allah subhanaw taala will not be suspicious of Allah will not
accuse Allah will not have bad ideas about Allah subhanaw taala.
Right. And whoever then understands this from Allah,
Whoever understands Allah has wisdom, and Allah subhanaw taala
is decree gets an understanding of it gives himself up around the
cover he he will be satisfied satisfied with Allah's decree, and
then they will make the most of the situation they're in. That's
why he says that for the people of knowledge, if they can, if they
just had one verse, that would be sufficient. This one verse just
gives them everything for the people of knowledge, those who
have an understanding of how, who need an understanding of how
things work within the divine realm. And the verse is, your Lord
creates what he wishes and chooses what he wishes. Your Lord chooses
and create as and what he wishes, they have absolutely no option.
It's Allah's choice. So go with that choice.
Allah subhanho wa taala. Grant us a balance. May Allah grant us a
balance may Allah grant us satisfaction with what we have.
And when the when the dunya does come to us.
If it's good for us, Allah allow us to accept it in the best of
ways, and if it's not good for us, then Allah do not indulge us in it
do not allow us to become engrossed in it. And in the
pursuit of it.
Utility utility is important. Utility is important when you do
something for its benefit, but you better have your idea of benefit,
right? All of these things are subjective, that's what I want you
doing because it's useful, like what do you mean by useful how
useful it is, is it and a way to find out if we're going wrong or
if we if we're thinking it's too if we're, if our idea of what's
useful and beneficial is a bit beyond what it should be, then we
ask others as two or three people and you will get the right kind of
idea from them as to where the balance is. Find people that you
respect for their moderation. Find people that you respect for the
balance and ask them what do you think in this situation?
And that's how you'll get it right. These are practical
considerations because subjectivity is a really big
dilemma for a lot of people. People think haram things that
correct for them are justified for them because of a subjective way
of thinking about them. So we can't rely on ourselves many of
the time we have to ask others
and I think that's how we will get a balance may Allah grant us a
balance. Well, he did that run and Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
