00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			We will take the last question.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			Muhammad Bilal
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:11
			he says I'm a veterinarian in
Faisalabad, Pakistan. If Allah
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			knows which sin I will be
committing in the future, why does
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			he not stop me? Allah subhanaw
taala says in the Glorious Quran
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:21
			surah Mulk. Chapter 67 was number
two, under the Halacha motor will
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:26
			hire it is Allah who has created
that a life to test which of your
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			good deeds, so this life, it is a
test for the Hereafter.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:36
			And Allah subhanaw taala he does
know what sins you're going to
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			commit in the future. So, why does
it not stop you?
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:45
			This life is a test for the
hereafter, and we human beings we
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49
			have been given a free will be
human beings, we are a unique
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:53
			creation, Allah subhanaw taala
already created the angels who do
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:58
			not have a free will be human
beings, we are a unique creation.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			And I would like to give you a
simple example.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			During an examination
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			while the students they are
appearing for the examination, the
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:13
			teacher passes by one of the
students and the teacher notices
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:17
			that the student has written the
answer for question number one
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:17
			wrong.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			If the teacher wants, she can
correct the student during the
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			examination
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28
			that the answer to question number
one it is wrong and correct the
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:34
			answer the correct answer swing so
the teacher can do that. But it
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			will be unjust upon the other
students, the other students they
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:41
			will think why did I toy? Why are
they putting so much effort if I
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			knew that the teacher will help
during the examination.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:50
			So even though the teacher knows
the answer, the teacher has to be
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:56
			just in the situation and should
not help the student because it is
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:00
			an examination. Similarly this
life, it is a test for the
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:04
			hereafter, even though Allah
subhanaw taala knows that we
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:08
			become a thing since Allah
subhanaw taala he has given us a
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12
			free will. Because this is a test
and based upon our deeds, we will
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:16
			either enter paradise or we will
enter hellfire. And even if a
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:21
			person he commit sins, the door of
repentance, it is open.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			Even if a person commits sins, he
can very well asked repentance
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:29
			from Allah subhanaw taala and in
sha Allah, Allah subhanaw taala He
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:33
			will forgive him. And there are
four criteria for repentance. The
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:38
			first is that you should stop the
act immediately. The second is a
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:42
			sincere repentance from Allah
subhanaw taala. The third is that
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			if you've taken something from
someone and if you can return it,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			you should return it. For example,
if you've robbed something, you
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:53
			should return it. And the fourth
is that you should make a strong
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			resolution that you will not
return to the game.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			So you should follow these
criteria of repentance and if you
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			are sincere repentance from Allah
subhanaw taala He will forgive you
