فَمْشُوا فِي مَنَاكِبِهَا I want you to reflect
over this word فَمْشُوا المشي, it means to
walk and subhanallah you notice something incredible in
the Qur'an and it is actually shaping
our attitude towards matters of this worldly life
for matters related to this dunya, such as
seeking your provision, sustenance Allah said walk on
this earth in other places he said فَسِيرُوا
فِي الْأَرْضِ stroll casually on earth whenever Allah
azza wa jal told us to seek provision
and walk on earth and travel in the
earth he used a word that is of
less intensity, walk calmly take a casual stroll
effortlessly and that is teaching us that is
the attitude we are supposed to have concerning
our worldly matters take it easy when it
comes to worldly matters worldly matters such as
when you are getting married if you are
deciding to travel somewhere if you are investing
if you are opening a business, if you
want to buy a car or a house
or moving jobs امشوا, take it easy this
is why in worldly related matters there is
something known as الاستشارة والاستخارة الاستشارة, before you
make a move in this worldly life, seek
the consultation of others, relax walk, easy, ask
people's opinion, get help from your brothers that
are known in that field, in that area,
whatever it is, and then also الاستخارة before
you make a move, pray two rakat, ask
Allah azza wa jal if this is good
for you, that he make it easy and
facilitated for you, take it easy then make
the move in this worldly life whereas when
it comes to matters related to our deen
matters related to the afterlife the words that
Allah azza wa jal uses in the Quran
are opposite to walking for example, when it
comes to صلاة الجمعة صلاة الجمعة is a
worship he said فاسعوا الى ذكر الله he
did not say walk to the remembrance of
Allah, he said rush to the remembrance of
Allah because this is a matter related to
the afterlife, so have the attitude of being
hasty Allah azza wa jal, he will say
ومن أراد الآخرة وسعى لها سعيها Allah spoke
whoever wanted whoever desired the afterlife then make
the effort that it requires, the word سعي
rush towards that path of it so that
you can attain it Allah azza wa jal
when he spoke about forgiveness he said سارعوا
الى مغفرة rush to the forgiveness of your
lord سابقوا الى مغفرة race one another to
the forgiveness of your lord and then when
he spoke about himself being the greatest purpose
and goal in your life, he said ففروا
الى الله ففروا, run as fast as you
can to Allah azza wa jal so subhanallah
the beauty here is that the intensity level
depends on the goal and purpose when the
purpose was this worldly life, relax when it
was the afterlife move a little bit quicker,
when your goal and your purpose is Allah
alone and to please him, run as fast
as you can, this is why in matters
of worship, there's no istikhara you don't make
an istikhara, oh Allah if salah is good
for me then allow me to pray and
if it's not then keep me away from
it there's no istikhara in matters related to
deen, right الحاج و رمضان و العبادات you
quickly at the very moment and chance you
have, you get up and you perform these
obligations and these worships, you rush in matters
that are related to the afterlife, subhanallah
