como la ducommun fitna, Sara colloquialism respected elders and brothers and mothers and sisters in
diverse which I've recited, the first verse is in Surah Al mulk, in Surah tabarrok, in which Allah
subhana wa Taala says, I have created life and death, to test to test a commerce and who am Allah
Who does? right yes and the best of deeds. This verse indicates that Allah Allah has made this world
		

			in which you and I are living in and made has made this life of ours, a test to see who does right
he has deeds. This theme has been reiterated in many verses of the Holy Quran in surah. Robin for
example, Allah Allah says, In Namah lucam Allah do confit now, federally, your wealth and your
children are fitna and unlike the ooredoo, or the Gujarati understanding of the word fitna, which
means corruption. But in Arabic, the word fitna means trial, an examination. So Allah says I have
given you your children, I have given you wealth as a trial x as an examination, this theme of the
world being a test, it opens up a great amount of wisdom, it opened up vistas of knowledge for us,
		

			let us look at some of these lessons which I will try and enumerate. Firstly, Allah tala has made
this test not because Allah subhanho wa Taala needs to increase his knowledge with regard to our
deeds, or with regard to our situation Elia is well aware of our situation, but it is to manifest
His justice. So Allah subhanho wa Taala, after putting us through a trial, after what we do in that
trial, the justice of Allah, the recompense of Allah subhana wa Taala, the reward of the punish,
punishment will follow on the basis of our deeds, and will follow on the basis of what we have done
in our trial. And in our examination, the first lesson that we come to learn the second and that
		

			Allah has made, because of this, because of Allah tala making this life into a trial, and into
examination, Allah has given human being responsibility for his actions. So human beings are now
responsible for the actions. And many times human beings say with a certain degree of pride, and
with a certain degree of May, I dare say arrogance, we are free to do whatever we want, we can do
whatever we want.
		

			And it's true to an extent, Allah has given you the freedom to do whatever you want.
		

			But there is not it is not a freedom without a consequence.
		

			And I'm going to emphasize this point and I want each and every one myself included to take a lesson
from this. It is our choices in life that define us. It defines us in terms of our world, and it
defines us in terms of our akhira. So Allah subhanho wa Taala has given us the freedom of action.
But there is not freedom from the consequences of the choices we make with the freedom.
		

			It is
		

			our Eman in Allah tala is justice and justice of Allah subhanho wa Taala demands that there should
be freedom of action, Allah is not going to stop you when you do something wrong. Allah is not going
to come and stop you or tell the angels to stop you when you're doing something wrong. Although
Allah is acquitted and power to do so. And then the Day of Judgment would be the day in which Allah
subhanho wa Taala will take account of the choices that you have chosen in this world. So bear in
mind, the second thing, Allah has made us responsible for our actions. And also bear in mind that
while we have freed with regard to choosing what we want to do, we are not free from the
		

			consequences of our action, and our choices will define us. Thirdly, many times people ask this
whole particular you know, question, many times it's a very important
		

			Very common question. You know that if a lie is so great, and if a natella is so just why does an
alert Allah stop people doing wrong?
		

			Someone is going to murder another person, why does it stop him? Even Latella is just Well, let me
put it in another way. If for example, a teacher while going through the examination hall, where
people are writing the exams, witnesses and observes a student, giving a wrong answer to the
question,
		

			what the teacher stop the student and said, you are writing the answer wrong. This is not the
correct answer. This is the wrong answer. Obviously, everyone would agree and say that no, we
understand that it is the wrong answer. But in that particular context, in that situation, then it
is not the responsibility of the teacher to stop the student in terms of what it is writing, if it
stops the student from doing and saying that this is the wrong answer you are writing, it's no more
test. It is no more a test. Because a test means that you give the person the right to do what it
wants to do. And they after it will bear the consequences of what he or threaten, he will be judged
		

			on the basis of the answers that he had written. So even if the teacher sees the student writing a
wrong answer, or giving an incorrect answer if there is a oral examination, right. It won't stop it.
It might correct it, but he don't stop it. Therefore, in the last verse of surah, fattier
		

			just the ayat before surah. Yasin when are you actually the law when NASA biswal me him? Matera,
Kali arminda. When are you asking? romila jelly masama. And this team is also headpin. also said in
WhatsApp said different words in Surah tunnel, Allah Allah says if Allah tala were to catch and
seize people, because of the wrongs that they do, they would be no one alive in this world. When
		

			Allah Allah gives people that particular type of delay, till a certain time for you to
		

			stick them on for either
		

			Heba zero. And when the time comes with regard to taking the results, and the consequences and
accountability of your deeds, then Allah will not delay it, in Allah and Allah is well aware, with
regard to what we have done. So the beautiful thing, third lesson, Allah doesn't stop you, because
it's part of the test the way a teacher will not stop a student who is doing an incorrect answer,
and that Allah will give him the I mean, that the teacher will allow him to write whatever it is,
and then he will mark the papers according to what he has written. The fourth thing, if it is an
exam, now, we all know that in an examination, we will want easy questions. You know, we always talk
		

			about our exams, we hope that they will be in sometimes there are situations where, when the paper
is very difficult, the students complain, you see it here in South Africa, I saw certain articles
that were students were complaining that this was, you know, way too difficult. And I know that when
we were in Pakistan, you know, there There used to be that we fact, there used to be one examination
written for da da da Hadith for the last year of the people who are becoming alums. So they used to
send, you know, on our Ma, in certain remote places in Pakistan, you know, in the NorthWest
Frontier, province, province at that time, and in certain places, when there are other questions
		

			were very difficult. The people who brought the papers were put under difficulty they were put under
pressure by the students and you know, so, so, sometimes in an examination, we all want easy
questions, but we all know that an examination is easy and difficult questions, the easy and
difficult questions, they are trying questions and there are questions, which we regard is easy,
maybe we will be able to answer it very easily. So in this world, in a similar manner with regard to
if we regard this world as a test, then in this they will be easy condition and they will be trying
conditions and the situation and those situations of ease and tribulation would not be the ultimate
		

			it would not be the real thing. The real ultimate thing would be how do you respond to the ease and
to the difficult conditions? Just like in a examination you will have easy questions and difficult
questions no one can object to why there is ease and why there is difficult question
		

			Because that is part of the time that is part of the examination. But how do you now respond? How do
you respond to the easy questions? How do you respond to the trying questions that will determine
your success or failure in the examination in a similar manner? Allah gives us easy conditions Allah
gives us trying conditions. And the reason with regard to it is not because Allah is happy with you,
they've always given you easy conditions. Allah is angry with you, therefore he is giving you
difficult and trying situations and circumstances No, it is part of the test. No one regard is as
part of the test for the line the 19 superar of the Holy Quran in surah to namale has said haram
		

			infernally Robbie Leah blue and he ash Kuru. For this is a graceful for mighty Allah when his
conditions come we say there's a grace of Allah. But why is it a grace to test whether you are
grateful or ungrateful and sometimes Allah can I test you with difficulty when unable to one nakum
says a line Surah Baqarah second supera I will test you with fear anxiety and different types of
difficulty. So Allah tala brings about tribulations and challenging situations because within the
tribulation contains with it within it, the seeds of greatness and lots uncollapse Allah tala brings
tribulations and Allah tala brings about difficult conditions and challenging conditions to rectify
		

			us, to correct us, to amend us, to test us to purify us to elevate us, all of that is part of it,
but that is a different subject. So the fourth reason and the fourth lesson with regard to a trial
is that they will be easy and they will be trying conditions that is part of the test. Firstly, this
is a test that you can't cheat, because your own body will testify for or against you, and how
beautifully Allah subhana wa Taala puts this in Surah Kahf, which we are told to recite and
encouraged to recite on Juma When will the Al Kitab furthur almajiri mina moshfeghi Nami MFI when
your coluna yawei Latina Molly hurdle keytab. When the when the the people who have done wrong they
		

			see the book of deeds on the day of kiama they will see well now what type of deeds is this law you
have the rooster Hera, it does not not left out anything small, anything major, but it has captured
everything. So the fourth lesson is, in this examination, you can't cheat. The fourth and the last
lesson for today's Matura. There are many for the this this today's advice that in every particular
examination, the questions are concealed. If the questions are leaked, then of course, he's no more
an examination. And of course, when we do see that certain times when the questions become open and
out, and it is leaked, then the department puts an end to the to the examination. They rewrite the
		

			paper they read they read to the paper. This is an only examination in which Allah tala has given
you the questions. Now if you fail, can you imagine how foolish you will be? Maybe a Kareem said
Allah will question you about five things on the day of Tiamat. How did you spend your life? How did
you earn your wealth? How did you spend your wealth? And how how much did how would you spend your
youth? And how much did you practice upon what you knew five questions and I will question you on
the day of kiama this is only examination that ally has made mention of the questions beforehand.
Subhan Allah, my dear respected listeners, it's important for us to realize the importance of this
		

			world as a test because it is on this basis that we will be successful. Or May Allah Allah forbid
otherwise, on the day of judgment, our Sahaba in Libya Karim saw cillum always regarded this aspect
of accountability of the test very seriously. Sahaba Sana via cream sauce Lim said in this era
Sheila you said in the vehicle themselves and said if you knew what I know, you would laugh less and
cry more forget Haku karela kathira as a matter of he allowed on one day. So person who was you
know, he went past and made gushing Medina so a very poor people didn't have any any food and there
was water boiling on on the on the fire said what what is this? Why are the children crying they are
		

			hungry and the woman said Allah will take Ahmadinejad to task he is the leader and he doesn't
fulfill our needs and almost said How does he know what is going through through what you are going
through? And she said, if he doesn't know what we are going through, why is he or the middle woman
in Marathi alone, he said what is in it in the on the fire. He said only water that is being boiled
that the children will feel something has been cooked and they will feel sums for some form of
satisfaction and they will form
		

			asleep. Omar went to the bathroom, took a sack of flour, carried it on his back. a slump told him Oh
Omar What are you doing? I'll carry it. He said a slump Will you carry my load on the day of
judgment? Will you take a call you take into Will you take this into account will you carry my note
on the day of given what I have to account for my deeds, my dear respected
		

			listeners we must regard this dunya as a test and when we regard it as a test, it's part of our
accountability and then we will live our life inshallah, in the best possible manner. These are few
of the lessons that we learn from the verse where lateral says, I have created life and death to
test who does right his deeds. May Allah give us a trophy? Welcome to the 100
