Abu Taymiyyah – Ep 8 Beneficial Knowledge How To Soften Your Heart Series

My beloved brothers and

sisters, the next

Heart Suffernan I would like to

speak about

is Alaa Al Munafiya,

and we are now on number 7 in

our Series.

This point that I'm going to be covering

is Alaaal Mun Nafi'a, beneficial knowledge.

Says,

the same way that the heart is in

need of knowledge,

it is similar to how much the

fish is in need of water.

What happens when you take out the fish

from the water or from the sea, my

beloved brothers and sisters?

It's only a matter of time before he

passes away.

And he's a Gedalic, isn't that so?

He draws this comparison with the Heart.

You cannot expect, my beloved brothers and sisters,

to have a living heart

except by

nourishing it with

The way Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has created

the heart

is that it is in need of its

Creator, it craves it,

and without that

it will be

searching for purpose.

It will really, really struggle to maintain itself.

It is in need of its Creator and

you are not able, my beloved brothers and

sisters, to worship Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala accordingly

without beneficial knowledge.

Our sole reason of existence, as Allah

told us, is:

I did not create the Jin and the

Ins except to,

why should Me alone?

Right?

That's our sole reason of existence.

Is one able to fulfill that accordingly if

he doesn't

learn

how to worship Allah

Otherwise we will become like the Christians, right?

The Christians who

just worshipped Allah upon ignorance.

And this is why you find that their

religion is the way it is.

Who is the intended purpose?

When Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la talked about those

who are misguided none other than the Christians.

So the heart is in need of knowledge,

my beloved brothers and sisters.

The more one is in need of food

and drink, because food and drink,

you only need it for maybe, what, 3,

4 times

a day. As for the Knowledge,

it teaches you how to live your life.

And if we don't take anything away from

knowledge, my beloved brothers and sisters, other than

the fact that

it teaches

us how to not be depressed,

how to fill that void,

that hole, that spiritual emptiness

that money can't buy, then it would be

sufficient.

And I say this all the time.

How many

rich,

very well known personalities

are suffering from depression,

are without aim and purpose,

and because of that,

it may even lead them to have suicidal

thoughts.

There's a video that I came across with

a brother, he compiled the different,

personalities,

YouTubers,

singers, rappers,

who are all saying that which is almost

identical to one another.

All of them are saying that they thought

money and fame would bring them happiness.

Then when they acquired

all of these worldly pleasures, the Dunya stabbed

them in the back.

And this is exactly, my beloved brothers and

sisters,

the attitude of this Dunya.

It beautifies itself to you. And then when

you think that you've attained it,

right, it leaves you disappointed.

How many of us think that if I

acquire this house or I acquire this car

or I acquire this girl, then I will

be happy, it will make me content. Once

you acquire all of this, you're back to

square 1 again.

Duniya has left you disappointed.

And the solution is very very simple.

The Deen

that we have been told to follow requires

knowledge, and it teaches us how to live

a life

of happiness

and contentment.

And that's something, my beloved brothers and sisters,

that money can't buy.

Just take

Bill Gates as an example.

Someone who was the richest

human being walking on the face of this

Earth for a very, very long time,

and he still is from the richest now,

even though he has dropped down in the

pecking order.

He went through a divorce, he's going through

a lot in his life, He's quietened down

in the last couple of months. Why is

that, my beloved brothers and sisters?

What do you think Allah

is teaching him?

He went through something that

I ask Allah

to protect every single one of you from

and that is divorce. It's not an easy

experience.

My brothers and my sisters, are you telling

me that

he wasn't able to hire

one of the

most

well qualified

marriage counselors to solve his problems between him

and his wife?

You think he couldn't have done that? Of

course he could, he has all the money

in the world, right?

He has all the money that he could

find.

I don't think there's anything in the world

that he cannot possess and he cannot buy,

with all the billions that he has.

But even that didn't work.

He's being taught a lesson and that is,

no matter what you acquire of this Dunya,

you are still in need

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Your heart craves

its Creator,

and that's not something that money can't buy.

And if they knew that this could be

bought with money, of course they would have

bought it.

All they need to do is turn to

Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la,

and the proofs and the pudding is in

the Quran.

Whoever turns away from my remembers,

then this individual will have a depressed life.

May Allah Azzawajal give us all a Tawfiq,

Assalamu

Alaikum

Assalamu Alaikum We at the Knowledge College have

managed to revolutionize

the way Islamic studies is taught in the

West Alhamdulillah

You see, before the knowledge college, you'd have

to find a teacher which is a hard

enough task as it is. And if you

found that teacher,

you'd have to hope that he would actually

finish the book that he was teaching

which again was not very likely. But now,

Alhamdulillah, you can study and seek knowledge from

the comfort of your own home and you're

not just watching videos

that have been pre recorded but you're actually

being taught live where you can actually engage

with your teachers

and with your fellow students in the communities

that we've built for you guys online.
