00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			My beloved brothers and
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			sisters, the next
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			Heart Suffernan I would like to
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			speak about
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			is Alaa Al Munafiya,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			and we are now on number 7 in
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			our Series.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			This point that I'm going to be covering
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			is Alaaal Mun Nafi'a, beneficial knowledge.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:41
			Says,
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			the same way that the heart is in
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			need of knowledge,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			it is similar to how much the
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			fish is in need of water.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			What happens when you take out the fish
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			from the water or from the sea, my
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			beloved brothers and sisters?
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			It's only a matter of time before he
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			passes away.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			And he's a Gedalic, isn't that so?
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			He draws this comparison with the Heart.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			You cannot expect, my beloved brothers and sisters,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			to have a living heart
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			except by
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			nourishing it with
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			The way Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has created
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			the heart
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			is that it is in need of its
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			Creator, it craves it,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			and without that
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			it will be
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			searching for purpose.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			It will really, really struggle to maintain itself.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			It is in need of its Creator and
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			you are not able, my beloved brothers and
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			sisters, to worship Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala accordingly
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			without beneficial knowledge.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			Our sole reason of existence, as Allah
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			told us, is:
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			I did not create the Jin and the
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			Ins except to,
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			why should Me alone?
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			Right?
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			That's our sole reason of existence.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			Is one able to fulfill that accordingly if
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:02
			he doesn't
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			learn
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			how to worship Allah
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			Otherwise we will become like the Christians, right?
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			The Christians who
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			just worshipped Allah upon ignorance.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			And this is why you find that their
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			religion is the way it is.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			Who is the intended purpose?
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			When Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la talked about those
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			who are misguided none other than the Christians.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			So the heart is in need of knowledge,
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			my beloved brothers and sisters.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			The more one is in need of food
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			and drink, because food and drink,
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			you only need it for maybe, what, 3,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			4 times
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			a day. As for the Knowledge,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			it teaches you how to live your life.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			And if we don't take anything away from
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			knowledge, my beloved brothers and sisters, other than
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			the fact that
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			it teaches
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			us how to not be depressed,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			how to fill that void,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			that hole, that spiritual emptiness
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			that money can't buy, then it would be
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			sufficient.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			And I say this all the time.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:14
			How many
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:16
			rich,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			very well known personalities
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			are suffering from depression,
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			are without aim and purpose,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			and because of that,
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			it may even lead them to have suicidal
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			thoughts.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			There's a video that I came across with
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			a brother, he compiled the different,
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			personalities,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:39
			YouTubers,
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			singers, rappers,
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			who are all saying that which is almost
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			identical to one another.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			All of them are saying that they thought
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			money and fame would bring them happiness.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			Then when they acquired
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			all of these worldly pleasures, the Dunya stabbed
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			them in the back.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			And this is exactly, my beloved brothers and
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:01
			sisters,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			the attitude of this Dunya.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			It beautifies itself to you. And then when
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			you think that you've attained it,
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			right, it leaves you disappointed.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			How many of us think that if I
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			acquire this house or I acquire this car
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			or I acquire this girl, then I will
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			be happy, it will make me content. Once
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			you acquire all of this, you're back to
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			square 1 again.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			Duniya has left you disappointed.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			And the solution is very very simple.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			The Deen
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			that we have been told to follow requires
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			knowledge, and it teaches us how to live
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			a life
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:38
			of happiness
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			and contentment.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			And that's something, my beloved brothers and sisters,
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			that money can't buy.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			Just take
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			Bill Gates as an example.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			Someone who was the richest
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			human being walking on the face of this
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			Earth for a very, very long time,
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			and he still is from the richest now,
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			even though he has dropped down in the
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			pecking order.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04
			He went through a divorce, he's going through
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			a lot in his life, He's quietened down
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			in the last couple of months. Why is
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			that, my beloved brothers and sisters?
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			What do you think Allah
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			is teaching him?
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			He went through something that
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			I ask Allah
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			to protect every single one of you from
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			and that is divorce. It's not an easy
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			experience.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			My brothers and my sisters, are you telling
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			me that
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			he wasn't able to hire
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			one of the
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:32
			most
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:33
			well qualified
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			marriage counselors to solve his problems between him
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			and his wife?
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			You think he couldn't have done that? Of
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			course he could, he has all the money
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			in the world, right?
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			He has all the money that he could
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			find.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			I don't think there's anything in the world
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			that he cannot possess and he cannot buy,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			with all the billions that he has.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			But even that didn't work.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			He's being taught a lesson and that is,
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			no matter what you acquire of this Dunya,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			you are still in need
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:12
			of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Your heart craves
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			its Creator,
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			and that's not something that money can't buy.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			And if they knew that this could be
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			bought with money, of course they would have
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			bought it.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			All they need to do is turn to
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la,
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			and the proofs and the pudding is in
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			the Quran.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			Whoever turns away from my remembers,
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			then this individual will have a depressed life.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			May Allah Azzawajal give us all a Tawfiq,
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			Assalamu
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			Alaikum
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			Assalamu Alaikum We at the Knowledge College have
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			managed to revolutionize
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			the way Islamic studies is taught in the
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			West Alhamdulillah
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			You see, before the knowledge college, you'd have
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			to find a teacher which is a hard
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			enough task as it is. And if you
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			found that teacher,
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			you'd have to hope that he would actually
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			finish the book that he was teaching
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:13
			which again was not very likely. But now,
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			Alhamdulillah, you can study and seek knowledge from
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			the comfort of your own home and you're
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			not just watching videos
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			that have been pre recorded but you're actually
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			being taught live where you can actually engage
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			with your teachers
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			and with your fellow students in the communities
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			that we've built for you guys online.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			If you'd be interested in seeking knowledge and
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:37
			taking your religion to the next level, then
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			click the link below and check it out.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			joined us over the last year and a
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			half They've hugely benefited and we hope that
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			you would be one of the next students
