The Quran Has It All #18 This Life #02

We're gonna continue today

with

what did Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said about

dunya? What verses? In which concept or context

he explained duniya to us? So let's go

ahead and share with you some of the

verses that also Allah

puts in the Quran referring to duniya. SubhanAllah,

when he when you read the Quran and

when you

reflect on it, it's reality.

It's made beautiful to people.

The love of desires. And then he explains

what are these desires.

For the men, woman.

What what the women love?

Children.

Children, and the

heaps

and stocks

of gold and silver.

Wal Fedil Musawama

is a certain kind of horses that has

special mark on the forehead, which is very

expensive.

These, Denise, for us, expensive cars.

Is basically animals, which could be what could

be wealth, could be business. Walhar is actually

lands.

Now, Amad didn't say this is bad.

Amad didn't say why you're loving this. He

said,

This is the enjoyment of this life.

Remember, the rain came.

We were born. We were young. Then we

grew up, and then we start

Where is the and Allah has better return

or when you return, Allah has better. So

Allah is telling us us the beauty of

this life, and he numerate things, and these

things are all halal. But now he's telling

me focus on the

better. Do you want me to tell you

better than that? What is it to Allah?

Now this is not for everybody,

and this is not for the smart people

or hard worker or this or that. You

have to be a person of taqwa, person

of Allah conscious.

You and I, your will

get gardens,

dwell in it eternal,

and rivers goes under it. Okay, but I'm

not going to be alone, am I? No.

You're

going to have pure

spouses

and something things we're not gonna get it

in Duniya.

In addition to all these material things, we're

gonna have the pleasure. Allah is pleased with

me and you. What are we gonna get

out of this? Only he knows.

And Allah

is well aware of what the human beings

do. So this is reality.

This is what we love in this duniya.

Then in the third one, there is many

verses in the Quran about the duniya, but

I'm going to share one more with you,

which is a verse of Suratul Hadid, which

combines

the 2 I have just shared with you.

Know. And every time Allah

says,

we literally pay attention, meaning,

this

is

what it is. Inama, meaning this is what

it is.

Now Allah is giving me both.

Learn,

know that this life or the life of

this world is nothing but amusement,

distraction,

play,

boosting between each other,

competition

to increase or competition in increase

of wealth and children.

It's like exactly a rain

whose plants

grow pleases the farmer.

Then it dries

and you see it turn yellow

and it becomes

debris.

And in the hereafter

there is

severe punishment

and forgiveness

from Allah and approval and pleasure of Allah

Subhana Wa Ta'la. And what is this worldly

life except the enjoyment of the delusion?

Let's look at this one because this combine

almost everything. Number 1, I need to know.

I need to remind myself on a daily

basis that where I am

living, sometimes we call it the rat race,

very busy running around, juggling all this.

What is it? Laibunwala.

It is a play and amusement and distractions

and collecting more competition between people. Play, but

this is how it is. How do I

remind myself? Look at plants. That's why Allah

always give us examples.

Trains. You look. If you are a person

who love gardening, look at it and remember

this verse.

You bring a small,

sometimes seeds or a small plant. You give

it some water, give it time, and it

becomes beautiful

flower and

then

we

die.

And

then

what's

waiting

for

us there? And then we die.

And then what's waiting for us there?

2 choices. Either it's going to be severe

punishment, or it is going to be forgiveness

from Allah It

all depend.

What did I do here? What did I

do with all what he gave me? The

beauty, the children,

the wealth,

the, gold, the silver, the,

job. At the end, there is these two

results, and depends what did I choose in

Visdunya.

Did I choose whatever Allah gave me from

the wealth, the children,

the money, the status,

to work for my akhla, my dumiya,

but I worked for my akhirah, then

forgiveness from Allah and pleasure of Allah is

waiting for me. If I'm gonna spend my

time focusing on beauty, career, children, competition, I

wanna be the best without any thought of

the akhirah. Then Allah will give it to

me. But then at the end, he said,

read severe punishment. May Allah

the most important thing is teach us this

concept,

many of these concepts. Help us to live

in this balance. We want to live in

this duniya the way it pleases our law

and enjoy what he gave us, but at

the same time never to get distracted from

there forever.

there forever.
