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
