So there are a lot of beautiful verses in the Quran that deal with this topic of TOEIC good.
And of them is the verse where Allah Subhana Allah says, What overkill Allah al hain, a lady Leia moot, Allah says rely upon the Ever Living the one who does not die.
rely upon the Ever Living the one who does not die. Allah Subhana Allah Allah is telling us and and commanding us to rely upon him. Why? Because he's the Ever Living. Every single one of us has someone who we rely on in this world, it could be a mother or father or siblings or it could be family members. It could be children, people who we depend on. But Allah says rely upon him not that why because he doesn't die. Took an eyelid Alan hi and Lady Leia mood rely upon the Ever Living the one who does not die.
There is no person in this world, no matter how close your relationship to them is, except that one of two things is bound to happen, it will happen It must happen. Either you are going to leave this earth before them or they're going to leave this earth before you. So if they leave this earth before you what is going to happen to your world, is it going to be shattered? Is it going to be broken?
Or are you going to recognize that Allah Subhana Allah is the One who you should have relied on from the first place? That Allah is the One who is going to be with you, every single moment of your life. Allah is the only one who's going to be with all of us throughout our entire journey, because he is the one who does not die and so he is the one who on we should rely. He is the one who we should rely on Allah Subhana Allah to Allah Allah says rely upon the Ever Living, the one who does not die. And the virtues of relying upon Allah subhana data are very, very profound and of them
is that the ones who perfect their Tilak will in Allah.
They will enter into Jannah without ASAP without accountability. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said that 70,000 of his OMA will enter into Janna without his app without account on the Day of Judgment, when people are standing for 50,000 years and people will be asked about the small and the big monument Miss Carla origin halen Euro man. Yeah, my name is Karla Verratti Sharon yellow, whoever it is an atom's weight of goodwill see it and whoever does Adam's weight of evil will see it.
You know, one of the one of the experiences that we have
Have you ever for example, when you when you enter into the country, when you come into passport control? What do you want? You want the person to just take your passport, not ask you any questions and let you go, right? That's what you want.
But when they tell you they start asking you questions, now you uncomfortable.
And then imagine when they send you into secondary for more questioning becomes stressful. I don't know if that happens here. It seems that they're very nice actually, when you're when you're entering. But
it can be a very stressful experience, you get held for two hours, three hours, you get detained five hours, six hours, eight hours. It's very stressful. Well, some people on the Day of Judgment will be stopped. And they will be asked about every small thing and every big thing. And there is nothing more stressful than being asked on the day of judgment.
And so the progress of the light is and it tells us that there will be a group from his ummah, who will not be held at all, they'll just breeze through straight to Jenna. And so the companions that describe them to us a messenger of Allah.
And he said, they are the ones who do not
brand themselves with fire.
They don't brand themselves with fire. And they do not seek Rukia
to be done on them.
They do not seek Rokia to be done on them.
And they rely completely on their Lord.
They and lie to your own. He also said they don't believe in omens, they don't believe in omens. So they don't believe in omens. They don't brand themselves with fire. They don't seek rakia to be done. And then he said waha rabito karoun And they rely completely upon
Dear Lord, you see these others that they're the things that he's mentioning before that I love being alone. These are parts of this concept of doctrine. They don't believe in omens, you know, the Arabs they used to, they used to very much live their lives by superstition.
If a person wanted to take a journey,
and he saw birds flying in a particular direction, he would turn back and go home, because that was a bad sign.
Or they would, for example, not get married in show well, because they felt superstition that that was, that was something that was bad. If you did that, then your marriage is going to be bad.
And many civilizations and cultures still have that. You know, in the US, the number 13 is considered an unlucky number. So until today, you have some buildings, apartment buildings, and what have you, they don't have the number 13. You go from the 12th floor to the 14th floor, even though it's technically still the 13th floor, but they just don't want the number 13. And I'm sure or I hope not, but in Malaysia, there may be some superstitions that people have there are, what are some of these superstitions?
What is it for the number four?
So nobody has four kids. They just have three and then they go straight to five.
The number four is the Okay.
So, these things the Prophet sallallahu Sallam very much changed.
He says there is no such thing as suffer suffer was a month that they saw us actually suffer not sure why I'd rather it suffer he said there is no such thing as suffer. There is no such thing as evil, omens evil birds or anything like that. But the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam used to like the opposite, actually. So he didn't he and rejected the notion of bad omens. But what's amazing is that the prophets of Allah, Allah Salam, he loved good omens.
He loved positive omens, what were positive omens, positive omens would be something like he would hear the name of a person. And so he would anticipate goodness because of the name of that person. So for example, the famous incident was when he was trying to negotiate. They were negotiating a treaty with the Mexicans, the Treaty of Herdade BIA. And so what the arrays would send one person to negotiate and they'd send another negotiator and finally, they sent him so Hey, Lipner ombre Sohail Suhail is derived from the word son, which means easy. So this man's name is suede. He's the little easy one. And so the province of Elijah seldom when he heard that name he says but sal Allahu. Allah
has made your affair easy. Why? Because he's sending you somebody whose name means easy. So the province of Elijah Selim would like alpha and which is good omens.
