You know, the prophet said,
verily this dunya
is cursed,
and everything in it is cursed as well.
Except for a few things.
Except the remembrance of Allah
scholar, the one that teaches the knowledge, and
the one who learns the knowledge.
And you know why the reason
the reason as to why this dunya is
merely discussed?
Because if you look now at
the situation of the majority of the older
societies,
you find it has busied them away from
what?
Their main objective which is an Ibada,
and the Ibada requires knowledge.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala exempted these people.
The prophet salallahu alayhi exempted the one who
teaches the religion, the one who learns the
religion,
and the remembrance of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
which today we find it is very difficult
of our customs to do.
It is very, very difficult.
Aliyah, radiAllahu Anhu,
he mentioned a very powerful statement.
He said,
It is sufficient
to show us or for us to know
that the is so honored
or is so honorable.
That even the person
who is not befitting
to be seen as a person of knowledge,
he will claim it.
Everybody likes to be called the knowledgeable person.
Right?
If I say to a person,
you're very, very knowledgeable, they're gonna get excited
even though he might be a jay.
Everyone gets excited, and they start rejoicing about
it. And then he said,
and he gets excited when it is ascribed
to him.
And it is sufficient for ignorance
to be something that is defamed,
something that is depraved.
That even the person who has ignorance with
him, he will try to free himself with
it.
An ignorant person, we just mentioned, if you
call him knowledgeable, he gets excited.
And even though he knows he is ignorant,
when you say you are ignorant, no, he
goes, oh, no, ignorant.
He tries to free himself from it.
It is sufficient for us to see the
knowledge to be such an horrible thing through
this matter.
And in
also mentioned a very powerful statement. In regards
to the statement of Allah
when Allah told the messenger of Allah saying,
Oh Allah, increase my knowledge. He
of the virtuous
of knowledge
or the virtue of knowledge.
Because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala never commanded his
Nabi,
his prophet,
to ask for an increase in anything except
knowledge.
Allah
commanded the messenger
to ask an increase in anything except what
knowledge?
To show you the virtue,
superiority,
the greatness,
the honor of this
knowledge that Allah
has mentioned
to us. Okay.
You know, brothers and sisters,
a lot of time we find
a person who wants to seek knowledge,
but he finds it difficult maybe due to
the commitments that he has.
Whether it is he needs to go to
university, whether it is he has work, for
whatever reasons,
The matters pertaining to dunya.
And he struggles to maybe combine between the
2. He struggles really hard.
And then as time goes on, you find
that
he
ends up maybe
pushing the anger of
chasing the dunya more than knowledge and slowly
dies out altogether.
You know, brother and sister of all, I'm
not saying if you don't study or work
or anything like that, but what I'm trying
to point out is
how this is one of the tricks of
the shaytron.
And it requires a bit of knowledge to
understand
where our master harai, where our masteraha is.
If we look at the Sharia, we find
that the way people think today, our Sharia
tells us Bilaks.
The shaitan whispers in our mind that if
we carry on chasing that money, them dollars
and them pounds, and we work maybe not
only 36 hours, we work 48 hours, we're
going to have a certain amount every month.
And rightfully so we might have that money
coming into our bank accounts.
But then what?
A lot of people never ever tend to
reach that stage above.
Few you find maybe they have 5,000 stacked
up in their banks. Few.
The majority don't.
Everybody is basically going through in a circle.
They work
and. After the end of the month, they
pick up their pay, and we're back to
square 1. It's like the box life. Throughout
the whole year, we basically go through the
same thing.
And we don't seem to be getting anywhere.
If only, brothers and sisters,
and this is a guarantee
that the prophet
gave you
makes a promise, and he doesn't fit in
his promise.
If you just act upon this,
you will find
that
the dunya,
that you're not making your main priority is
going to be a direct to you.
It will come to you even though you're
not chasing it.
The prophet
told us in Hadith,
Allah
will tear his affairs apart,
and he will place poverty
in between his eyes. For what? For chasing
a dunya.
And, brother and sisters, the majority
that I've seen, a
lot of people, they don't tend to be
getting anywhere.
Then the prophet
told us,
Whoever makes the akhira,
his main objective,
his main
priority.
He'll bring in the fast together. He will
sort it out for him.
He will place richness in his heart, in
his heart.
The dunya will be dragged to him.
The dunya
will be dragged to him.
Bill acts of how we think. We think
that if we go chase, he's going to
come to us.
Roberts running away from
us. But the prophet saying to you,
you make the
your main objective.
The duniya is going to come around you.
It's gonna revolve around you. It's going to
come to you and say to you, come
take me.
And you know inshallah, brothers and sisters, if
Allah gives me a tofir, I'm doing a
series
of means of getting an increase in provision.
And it should be available on my YouTube
channel very, very soon
as the brothers are working on it. There's
maybe 15, 16 reasons that I have written
down at the moment of of maybe getting
an increase in provision.
Someone that acts to do it because of
it, a person's wealth will increase. And the
reason why I've done that is because
a lot of time, when a brother, he
wants to pursue
a career knowledge,
automatically,
he thinks or people
saying to him or the shaytan whispers to
him, you're going to be a poor person.
You're not going to be able to get
any far or anywhere,
which the reality of the matter is khanam
Farik.
It is not a statement that is true,
rather it's an empty statement, empty claim.
This means the
prophet told us about that if you do
this, Allah will increase your provision.
And this is one of them.
