00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			مَحَلًا لِلْأَغْيَارِ وَالْأَحْزَانِ It's a place of other
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			things and of griefs and worries.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			وَمَعْدِنًا لِلْوَجُودِ الْأَكْدَارِ وَالْفِتَرِ And it's an absolute,
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			just a mind for the existence of various
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			different types of filth and challenges and temptations
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:21
			and fitna and chaos in life.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:32
			بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:38
			والصلاة والسلام على المبعوث رحمة للعالمين وعلى آله
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:43
			وصحبه وبارك وسلم تسليما كثيرا إلى يوم الدين
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			أما بعد الحمد لله to continue with our
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			series on امن عطاء الله حكم the book
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			of wisdoms we are page 139 which is
		
00:00:53 --> 00:01:00
			today it's covering wisdom number 229 this one
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:05
			is really provides an answer to something that
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			we will probably experience on a daily basis
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			and it puts things in perspective and I
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			think what it does is that it eases
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			the issues that we go through it's a
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			very interesting one, it's helped me a lot
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			so you'll see what I mean he says
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25
			ابن عطاء الله رحمه الله says إنما جعلها
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:30
			محلا للأغيار ومعدنا لوجود الأقدار تزهيدا لك فيها
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:35
			سبحان الله what a perspective what a useful
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			perspective what such a beneficial perspective he only
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			made the world the place of alterities and
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:47
			the mind of impurities by way of inducing
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:52
			detachment in you towards it he's talking about
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			the nature of the world Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			ta'ala has made the nature of the
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:02
			world a place for lots of different things
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			that will happen in there lots of impurities,
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:13
			filth bad things, bad events difficulties, challenges something
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:18
			or the other breaking down something happening you're
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			never settled you're settled for a few days
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			and then suddenly something goes wrong again so
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has made the
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			world a place of alterities whenever you use
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			the word aghyar he means a place that
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			is constantly going to challenge you to take
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			you away from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			aghyar is everything besides Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			'ala like other things he calls them, the
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			translation he talks about alterities not really a
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			common term really but the world is a
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			place full of that and it's a mine
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			of impurities ma'din, ma'din is a place a
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			mine where you mine things out of from
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			the ground, a quarry of some sort so
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			it's a place like that that is full
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			of impurities but the reason he made it
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			like that he doesn't want to get you
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:09
			to become too comfortable here he doesn't want
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:13
			us to become too rested here too confident
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:19
			here by way of inducing detachment in you
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			towards it so he wants you actually to
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			be detached of it once you understand its
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			reality to realize that this is all going
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:33
			to end so let us see what the
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:37
			commentary says Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			says has described the world with these characteristics
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			in a sense that it's a place full
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			of sadnesses and griefs and setbacks and losses
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:52
			and challenges and weaknesses and things coming up
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			that you have to take care of you
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:58
			live in a place you ride an animal
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			or you ride a car and the vehicle
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			has a problem something eventually gives up if
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			nothing else then the brakes have to be
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:10
			redone the oil has to be refilled and
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			they're constantly adding new things that you have
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			to fill in there add blue now as
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			well and then you have to change a
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			bulb every now and then and then something
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			might go wrong you might get a scrape
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			or a scratch and then you have to
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			get that fixed and all of this, you
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			cannot have a routine and then if you
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			go one place bigger you have your house
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:35
			something might happen there something might break something
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			might start leaking you might get rats or
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			mice come in you might get some other
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			insect infestation you might get your lock broken
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			a light will go out you have to
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			change a bulb you have to change the
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			fixture you have to get some new furniture
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			the fridge has an issue it's not cold
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			enough anymore it's not freezing it's leaking Ya
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			Allah, the taps and it's just a constant
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			place so that you don't get too comfortable
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			nowadays after reading this when I see something
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			like that happen it's like okay, Allah just
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			wants me to be distracted from the world
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			and it just makes life a bit easier
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			and then after that within the people that
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:17
			we know suddenly somebody's died somebody's sick somebody's
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:20
			not wanna talking to us anymore somebody's getting
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			angry with us we have an argument with
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			somebody somebody has physical problems they get some
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			sickness they have a mental health illness they
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			want something and you can't help them get
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			it they want something from you you can't
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			give it to them you can't assist them
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			you can't help them Ya Allah, how many
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			more things do you want?
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			and then your job and there it is
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			you finally find a job it's been so
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			competitive to find a job it's not the
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			perfect job either it makes it work as
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			they say, it puts the bread on the
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			table it puts food on the table nothing
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			more than that right, that's what you're doing
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			it for you hate going there but you
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			have to go there because how else are
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:58
			you gonna survive?
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			Ya Allah, what are these challenges?
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			the previous job was better but I got
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			fired from that one or they laid me
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			off there was a big layoff I'm in
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			between jobs, somebody says what does that mean,
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:10
			Ya Akhi?
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			I'm asking like, what do you do?
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			I'm in between jobs it basically means that
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			I'm not doing anything right now it's a
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			nice way of saying that these are the
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			challenges and then in the job something comes
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			up you can't finish your project or they
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			take you off and put somebody else on
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			or there's somebody backbiting you and there's somebody
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			else trying to get the promotion that you
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			want or they're putting too much burden on
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			you they expect too much work from you
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			or in one case there wasn't enough work
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			and you just sat around doing nothing and
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			feeling bad about that and you shouldn't be
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			feeling bad about it there was not much
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			going on they were just paying you or
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			the money isn't coming on time they haven't
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			paid you for a month Ya Allah just
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			something or the other that is gonna continuously
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			happen or the weather is not as you
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			want it the holiday you booked you booked
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			the book and then the tickets got cancelled
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			or worse still a war broke out Allah
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			ta'ala relieve us and so on and
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			so forth these are just constant issues or
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:13
			you just get sick yourself we feel bad
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			we feel weak we don't feel up to
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			it we feel sleepy that day we couldn't
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			sleep at night or maybe we could or
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			we wasted time with something else or we
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:30
			had some other issues la ilaha illallah mahallan
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			lil-aghyari wal-ahsan it's a place of
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			other things and of griefs and worries wa
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:39
			ma'dinan lil-wujudil-akdari wal-fitr and it's
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42
			an absolute just a mine for the existence
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			of various different types of filth and challenges
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:51
			and temptations and fitna and chaos in life
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			why tazheedun laka feeha in order to make
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:00
			you detach from it so that you don't
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			get too comfortable with it you don't get
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06
			too excited with it you don't think that
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:11
			is the end all for you tazheed to
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:16
			make zuhud to make you renounce it so
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			but there's no escape from it so finally
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			when a person is in between those things
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			I'm in this world I can't be out
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			of this world this world is a reality
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			can't get out of this world but I
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			need it I need the food I need
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:30
			to earn a living I need to live
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			somewhere I need to do something in this
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			world I need to be able to worship
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37
			Allah so I have to get some of
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			the world but then the world is just
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			so full of chaos so I need to
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			strike that balance the people who can't strike
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			that balance they're the ones who have a
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			problem if they don't strike a balance and
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			rather what they do is they get too
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			engaged in the world then they forget the
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54
			akhira there's some people who get too involved
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			in the akhira to such a degree meaning
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			the hereafter to such a degree that they
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			go overboard in their renunciation of the world
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:07
			which is a dry unwise renunciation of this
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			world and then they become even worse off
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:13
			because they can't deal with it afterwards so
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			the world is a necessary place to be
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			because it's the way that you have to
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			get beyond and he's going to provide a
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			parable for that which is really really interesting
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:26
			so that's why he says that Allah subhanahu
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			wa ta'ala makes it so that you
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			don't get too comfortable in it knowing that
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:34
			it's still necessary so that you can fully
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			focus on Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala while
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			just using this as an instrument the world
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			is literally just the means it's an abode
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:42
			of means and it is a means for
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			us to get to the hereafter so our
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			focus is the destination the world is just
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			what we have to do to get there
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:54
			and your full aspirations are directed to Allah
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			subhanahu wa ta'ala not the world the
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			world is just something you're supposed to pick
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			up on the way that you're just using
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			on the way to get through because there's
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:04
			no other way to go another way to
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			look at it is you renounce the world
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			you renounce the world in a way that
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			you don't let it get to your heart
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			and you focus on the hereafter one of
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			the pious people this is the example everybody
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			comes up with their own kind of parables
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			and examples like what do you think of
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			the dunya?
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			how do you see it?
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:34
			so one particular sage he says the dunya
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			you can say the world that we live
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:40
			in is just like this huge tumultuous massive
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:46
			ocean and so it's in front of you
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			you look on either side you just can't
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			see the end of it it's a huge
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:53
			ocean and it has huge waves and everything
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			but you know on the other side is
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			the hereafter you know the other side is
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			where you wanna go which is Allah subhanahu
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:01
			wa ta'ala paradise is there and whatever
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has prepared is
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05
			there however you can't even see it it's
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			so far away and the ocean is just
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:11
			coming at you and you can't even see
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			the hereafter but you know it's there it's
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			on the other side you know that for
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:18
			sure وَلَا يَنكَشِفِ الْحِجَابُ وَنَعِينِ الْقَلْبِ بِالنَّظْرِ إِلَى
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:23
			الدَّارِ الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ الْجَوَازِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْبَهْرِ
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:29
			فِي سُفْوَنِ الصَّبْرِ وَالرِّضَاءِ because you know it's
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			there the problem is that you can't even
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			see it it's veiled from you and the
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			only way the veil and it'll only come
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:41
			within your sight and within vision is when
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala relieves and removes
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47
			the veils from our hearts to the hereafter
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:51
			that can only happen once we get close
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54
			enough over this ocean but getting over this
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			ocean is not easy because it has huge
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:00
			waves and difficulties and storms lots of chaotic
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			situations there so how do you get over
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			and you've only got a little boat to
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			get over so you have to brave all
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:10
			of these things with sabr and with satisfaction
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			with whatever Allah keeps because you know that
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			this is the way it's gonna be there's
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			no better way than this there's no smooth
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:21
			way there's no stable way the only way
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			is through the waves to the other side
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:24
			and that's exactly what the dunya is to
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			the akhirah so all of these things that
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			happen in the world is just to tell
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			you this isn't your place this is just
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			a temporary place I mean you're not on
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			the ocean forever nobody lives on the ocean
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			forever the ocean is always used to get
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			to the other side yes maybe you can
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			live on an island which gives you an
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			idea of stability but you can't live on
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			a ship or in a boat that is
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			trying to take you across because you know
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			this is just a place to traverse just
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			to get over the dunya is exactly like
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			that treat the dunya as an ocean and
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:59
			the real land and the place to become
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			a resident is on the other side inshallah
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			in Jannatul Firdaus so that's why he's saying
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			that you have to treat it like that
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			so now when you're trying to get over
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			this ocean it's just going to be full
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			of all of these difficulties so you need
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:15
			sabr and you also need rida which means
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			you also need satisfaction you need to take
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18
			it as it is that's what it means
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:23
			in other ways for example life becomes much
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			easier when you embrace the difficulties not for
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			the sake of having the difficulties but if
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			there's no way you can do without it
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			people who lose a limb people who lose
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			something of their eyesight for example or their
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:39
			hearing or their feet or a leg or
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			some part of their body or they are
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			challenged in any other way they just take
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:46
			it for granted and make it work and
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
			it's amazing what they can achieve I may
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			have mentioned this I went to Scotland a
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:54
			few months ago and it was a four
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			day or five day trip and it was
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			raining and that was the forecast of raining
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			and it was miserable Scotland is such a
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04
			beautiful place but it became miserable and that
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			night I thought to myself the next four
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			days and five days are going to be
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:10
			very very miserable so I said to the
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			family I said you know what we're going
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			to have to embrace the rain we're going
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			to have to be raadi we're going to
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			be satisfied with the rain it's going to
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:20
			be part of the experience as soon as
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:21
			we changed that mind mashallah the next three
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:24
			or four days were amazing with the rain
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			for most of them only one day we
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:28
			got without rain but suddenly you just have
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			to put a raincoat on and just enjoy
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			it because the rain also mashallah is a
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			blessing of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			it makes everything so green and lush and
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:41
			fresh and it was amazing you have to
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:44
			accept it anybody who doesn't like difficulties and
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			nobody likes difficulties but who can't embrace them
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:49
			and accept that they're an inevitable part of
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			life of this world they're just going to
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			they're just going to constantly have problems they're
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:56
			doubling the problem the effect of their problem
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			otherwise once you embrace it then yes there's
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:02
			a difficulty in overcoming the challenge to get
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:06
			something fixed but at least psychologically you're fine
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:10
			at least psychologically you're stable what's the point
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			of physically having to sort something out and
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:15
			also psychologically being disturbed what's the point of
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:19
			that this is what it's telling us and
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:22
			then he says you have to get over
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:26
			it through using sabr and just being satisfied
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:29
			لأنه بحر لجي because it is a very
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:36
			tumultuous wave filled ocean يغشاه موج which is
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:40
			basically overcome by waves من فوقه موج there's
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:41
			waves on top of those waves I don't
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			know if you've ever been when it's really
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			troublesome right when you go in when the
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			waves are literally crashing over you that you
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			don't even know what to go because when
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:50
			a wave comes at you not those small
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:53
			ones that just go over your feet right
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			the ones that come at you where you
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			have to either jump up so that your
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			head stays above or you have to take
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:02
			a deep breath and then let it crash
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			over you it's one of those right this
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			is not one of those this is bigger
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:07
			than that this is another wave on top
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			of that so these are double waves that
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			are way bigger than you you can't even
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14
			jump out of them and you get lost
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17
			in the foray and then above that is
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:21
			sahab dhulmat dark clouds so this is a
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:25
			major chaotic storm situation where there's multiple waves
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			levels of waves and there's a dark clouds
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			above that you don't know where you are
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:39
			this is very difficult to escape that la
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42
			ilaha illallah Allah help us above that is
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			basically what he's saying that the dunya if
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			you take a replication of that it's not
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			just about difficulty in the world I've kind
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:51
			of focused on difficulty but the challenges of
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			the world are not just the difficulties but
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:56
			it's also the other difficulties he says the
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			waves coming at you and this is a
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:00
			time when we're in a massive storm is
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:05
			various different lusts and passions temptations harams are
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:10
			just coming at you they're so easy they're
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			so easy to get to through the devices
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			wherever you look it's haram, haram, haram it's
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:21
			like the example is perfect it's just these
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:24
			we're submerged in it you can't even dodge
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			them you can't even jump up you can't
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			even hold your breath it's just wherever you
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:32
			are wherever you look wherever you are wherever
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:40
			you look very interesting he says what's happening
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			in the world is that you're having all
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:45
			of these waves of passions and desires and
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48
			temptations come at you above them are the
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			waves of distractions are the waves of heedlessness
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:54
			waves of just spending your time doing other
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:57
			stuff and not focusing on what is correct
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:00
			the amount of people the amount of time
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:04
			people are wasting today and harming themselves and
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			not just wasting people have always wasted their
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:09
			time people just sitting around talking while wasting
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			their time right you know even in the
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			old time there was no nothing to watch
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:16
			on TV right as such on a screen
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			people wasted time they might have just slept
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			they might have just relaxed they might have
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:23
			just spoken to one another but the amount
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:28
			of time people waste today right with harm
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			is the problem because on the device is
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:34
			just harm more harm than there is good
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:37
			so it's a lot more easier to do
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			harm today in the wasting people have always
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			wasted time but the amount of time people
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:45
			are wasting so it's that means waves of
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:51
			heedlessness hedonism and decadence and all of these
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:55
			things من فوقه صحاب الكائنات and above them
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:58
			are the clouds of all things that are
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			created all around you we're just submerged in
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			this and they're just they're just hitting us
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			and then he then he clarifies the next
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:10
			part he says وَإِذًا لَوْ بُسِطَتْ لَكَ الدُّنْيَا
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			if the dunya were to open up to
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:15
			you and fully be a place of wonderful
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			comfort as it is sometimes right sometimes we
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			just really enjoy you have that meal those
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			few days or a week or two go
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			by or a month go by and it's
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:25
			just excitement mashallah it went very very well
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:28
			alhamdulillah so he says if the dunya carried
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			on like that for you and it expanded
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			itself and gave you from its expansiveness لَكَ
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:37
			رِهْتَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ you would definitely you would
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			definitely dislike to meet Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:43
			'ala this is just too nice why should
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:44
			we want and this is seen in people
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:47
			who have usually who are have a lot
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:50
			of influence at their disposal a lot of
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:54
			wealth at their disposal a good position they
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			can get what they want this is usually
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			what happens right this is usually what happens
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			so that's why he's saying لَكَ رِهْتَ لِقَاءَ
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:04
			اللَّهِ فَيَقْرَهُ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَكَ what's the point of
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:08
			you what's the harm in you not wanting
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:11
			to meet Allah or actually even disliking to
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			meet Allah because you're going to be scared
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			maybe even if you're a mu'min it's because
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:17
			then Allah would dislike to meet you because
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			it's reciprocal Allah says I mean the Prophet
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam told us that whoever loves
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			and wants and is eager to see Allah
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:25
			subhanahu wa ta'ala and to meet Allah
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:28
			Allah is really even more eager to meet
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:31
			him and if you're if you dislike to
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:34
			meet Allah for whatever reason you have why
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			would you dislike to meet Allah well either
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			you don't believe in him then that would
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:40
			be the worst case scenario but if you're
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			if a person is a believer and they
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			dislike to meet Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
			it could either be because he's just really
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:49
			scared of themselves and they have misunderstood Allah
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:52
			subhanahu wa ta'ala they don't understand his
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:56
			mercy so they're despondent they're forsaking him right
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:59
			they are hopeless they don't know how to
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:02
			change and that comes because of ignorance and
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			no knowledge and no ma'rifah of Allah
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:05
			subhanahu wa ta'ala which means no knowledge
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:08
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so why
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			else would somebody not want to meet him
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			if they believe because they don't know about
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			Allah they don't know how wonderful he is
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:16
			you're scared of somebody right let's just say
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			you're scared of a teacher you're scared of
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:21
			an elder you're scared of the Imam so
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			you don't want to approach him and then
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23
			one day you for some reason you do
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			approach him you find such a cool guy
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:29
			he's just so easy so welcoming so accommodating
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			it's like man what kind of ignorance what
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
			a waste of time I should have done
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:37
			this so much earlier Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			'ala is better than anything anybody like that
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:46
			so that's why he's saying that if you
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			start to hate the meeting with Allah then
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			Allah is going to hate Allah is going
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:54
			to dislike to meet you وَلَوْ بُسِطَتْ لَكَ
		
00:21:54 --> 00:22:00
			الْعَوَافِ وَالنِّعَمِ and if full well-being and
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:03
			bounties and blissful things and gifts of Allah
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:08
			were to expand themselves for you لَرَكَنَتِ الرُّوحُ
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:11
			إِلَى هَذَا الْعَالَمِ then the soul whether you
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:12
			want it or not whether the soul would
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:16
			definitely become inclined to this world فَتَبْقَى دَائِمًا
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:21
			فِي عَالَمِ الْأَشْبَاهِ right then our soul would
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:25
			be constantly intermingling and want to be occupied
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:30
			with forms وَالْمَقْصُودُ مِنكَ هُوَ الرَّحِيلُ إِلَى عَالَمِ
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:33
			الْأَرْوَاهِ whereas the objective of your creation Allah
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:36
			is saying the objective of your creation is
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			that you need to travel to the land
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:41
			and the abode of souls which is back
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:45
			to where we came from فَضَيَّقَ الْحَقُّ تَعَالَى
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:51
			عَلَيْكَ هَذَا الْعَالَمَ السُّفْلِ لِتَرْحَلَ مِنْهُ بِهِمَّتِكَ إِلَى
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			الْعَالَمِ الْعُلْوِ that's why Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			'ala has kept all these challenges and temptations
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:01
			and difficulties and all of these issues that
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:04
			you face in this lower world so that
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07
			you can travel with your aspiration and that
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:10
			means not physical travel but it's just that
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			you've become focused on the other alam because
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			it's been promised to be much better it's
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			all a promise by the way but that's
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19
			because you have brought faith on the unseen
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:23
			that is what your distinctive characteristic is الَّذِينَ
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:27
			يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala describes
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:29
			the believers right at the beginning of surah
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:31
			al-baqarah and those people who believe in
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:33
			the unseen that's what our faith is all
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:36
			about all of these are promises but if
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			those promises you didn't believe in you wouldn't
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			be sitting here today you wouldn't be going
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			for jumu'ah you wouldn't we wouldn't be
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:47
			restricting ourselves we just be like everybody else
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:52
			so alhamdulillah we have that فَهُوَ مِنْهُ سُبْحَانَهُ
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:55
			إِنْعَامٌ وَإِحْسَانٌ that is where the real gifts
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:59
			and bounties and beautiful conduct and favours are
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:02
			from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala لَكِنَّهَا فِي
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:05
			قَالَ بِالْإِمْتِحَانِ the problem is all of this
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:07
			has been made a test for you it's
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			all in the form of a test the
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:12
			nature of this word فَلَا يَذُوقُهَا إِلَّا أُلُو
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:15
			الْبَصَائِرِ الْحِسَانِ the only way you can really
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:18
			get a taste of that from now are
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:21
			the people who have the insight who have
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:25
			the insight the inner sights they will get
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			an understanding of this so they'll be willing
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:29
			to go even though they're getting the difficulties
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			of this world فَهَذَا مَا أَشَارَ and then
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			that is what he discusses in the next
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:36
			one so Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala assist
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			us this is what shaykh Abdullah Gungor he
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:41
			says Allah most high has made the world
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:44
			a place from which a man should derive
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:48
			lesson and experience he has also made it
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:53
			an abode of pollution and worries from the
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:56
			lawful and awesome episodes enacted night and day
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			on earth the intelligent man takes lessons and
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:04
			gains experience unfortunately we're not told all of
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:09
			this straight away we get taught certain things
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			of what's good and bad but we don't
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:15
			get taught every single experience we make mistakes
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			and we learn that's why Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			ta'ala knows we make mistakes because a
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:20
			lot of the stuff we learn in this
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:25
			world is through experience from the terrible calamities
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:28
			and upheavals happening in the world man gains
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:31
			admonition and you see our brothers and sisters
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:35
			who are being persecuted and violated and wrong
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			you see their iman is just something else
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:41
			like their iman is much better even though
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:44
			it's destruction all around them because they've realized
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:48
			this is the fickle status of the world
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:49
			we haven't realized that because the world is
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:52
			too comfortable for us Allah keep it comfortable
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			and give us aafiyat we're not asking for
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:58
			destruction Allah strengthen our iman without the destruction
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			but they I mean it's this world is
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:03
			a strange place that in destruction you find
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:07
			belief Allahu akbar you find strength Hasbunallahu wa
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:10
			ni'mal wakeel it's amazing that faith is amazing
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			Allah give us that faith without having to
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:16
			go through that Ya Allah so the calamities
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			and upheavals that happen in the world man
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			gains admonition through them no one is able
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:23
			to attain fulfillment of all their wishes and
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:27
			goals in fact the only one who probably
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:30
			died who left from this world in our
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:34
			recent memory who died having perfected what he
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			came here to do and said I've done
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:37
			what I've come here to do is the
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:40
			Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam many other people
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			have greater ideas but they just can't fulfill
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:45
			them they cut short so many ideas but
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			they cut short Allah give us the ability
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:52
			to have good ideas manageable ideas high aspirations
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:54
			and allow us to actually complete them as
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			well before we die Allah give us aafiyat
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:58
			the other day I had to go to
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:01
			the hospital to visit some elderly people and
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			you just see the situation there and you
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			feel that oh Allah do not save us
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			from this place oh Allah take keep us
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			with aafiyat and then take us with aafiyat
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:13
			so we don't have to have this this
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:16
			sajjoon in the hospital for years on end
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:19
			somebody passed away today our brother Abdul Hayy
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			his father passed away he'd been struggling and
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:24
			suffering for the last you know few years
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:28
			completely dependent on others right he's passed away
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			now that he's passed away you know we
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			didn't make dua that he passed away but
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34
			once somebody passes away then you realize that
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:37
			mashallah he's inshallah got a rest now from
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:41
			all of these difficulties he has inshallah rest
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:45
			beautiful ways Muslims have wonderful ways as the
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:47
			Prophet ﷺ told us to look at these
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:50
			things to make us manage the difficulties of
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:52
			this world the events of this world there's
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			always a way to look at it the
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			people who don't have a way who don't
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:57
			have the proper way to look at it
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:59
			who don't understand Allah and why he created
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:02
			what he did and why he does what
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			he does they're the people who get depressed
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:08
			because they just have that issue of just
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:13
			misunderstanding Allah's ﷺ sunnah in this world in
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:17
			the hardship or in the hardships trials, tribulations
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:20
			and experiences of man there is considered mercy
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:24
			of Allah most high all of this is
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			mercy why is that a mercy of Allah
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:32
			it's a mercy because if it was too
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:36
			comfortable and there'd be no calamities we'd be
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:38
			too indulgent in the world it's just the
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:42
			way we are the only thing that takes
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:43
			us away from something is seeing the difficulties
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:47
			of it seeing the filth in it so
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:48
			if we weren't able to see all of
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:51
			that it was too comfortable then why would
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			that be a mercy of Allah when he's
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:54
			got something else he wants us to give
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:58
			us as a result of these trials man
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:01
			as truly defined becomes disenchanted from the world
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:04
			by means of his disinclination then Allah most
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:07
			high separates him from this carrion from this
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:10
			disease this carrion this dead body that is
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:13
			the world so we take whatever benefit we
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:15
			can and then we leave the rest to
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19
			ta'ala help us and we say to
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:22
			Allah give us aafiyah and we thank you
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:25
			for your mercy we thank you for whatever
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:28
			you have given us and taught us and
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			allow us to be correct in our understanding
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:33
			and much better in what we're doing but
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34
			Allah make it easy for us because it's
		
00:29:34 --> 00:30:02
			not easy for us ya
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:04
			Allah make it easy for us and guide

00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			walk and is struggling and finally when they
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:37
			get tired of walking the parents pick the
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:39
			child up oh Allah we also need picking
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:41
			up we also need support against the shaytan
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:44
			oh Allah the waves of the shayateen the
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:47
			waves of the shaytani influences are all around
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:50
			us submerging us hitting us attacking us oh
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:52
			Allah allow us to get through this to
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54
			a place in the hereafter let us not
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:56
			regret this on the day of judgment oh
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:58
			Allah oh Allah do not make what you
		
00:31:58 --> 00:31:59

			ala al mursaleena wal hamdulillahi rabbil alamin wa
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:12
			rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu the point of the lecture
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:15
			is to encourage people to act to get
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:21
			further and inspiration and encouragement persuasion the next
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:23
			step is to actually start learning seriously to
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:26
			read books to take on a subject of
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:28
			Islam and to understand all the subjects of
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:30
			Islam at least at their basic level so
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:32
			that we can become more aware of what
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:34
			our deen wants from us and that's why
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:38
			we started Rayyan courses so that you can
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:41
			actually take organized lectures on demand whenever you
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:44
			have free time especially for example the Islamic
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:47
			essentials course that we have on there the
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:50
			Islamic essentials certificate which you take 20 short
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:53
			modules and at the end of that inshallah
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:57
			you will have gotten the basics of most
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:59
			of the most important topics in Islam and
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01
			you'll feel a lot more confident you don't
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:02
			have to leave lectures behind you can continue
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:05
			to listen to lectures but you need to
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:08
			have this more sustained study as well Jazakallah
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
