And this is number one question why we
are here.
If you have any non-Muslim friend, right?
You're going to ask him why we are
here.
What are you going to tell him?
To have fun or to be tested, which
I don't like this word, unless you really
know what test is.
We're not.
Allah says, I put you in here.
It's beautiful.
I'm not going to deny it.
It's beautiful.
It's going to lure you.
I'm just going to look and see who's
going to do the best.
Literally, you have, let's say you have your
children or you have your friends and you
have $100.
And he said, everybody, I'm going to give
you $10, $10, $10.
And I pulled back and I said, I'm
just going to watch.
What are you going to do with this
$10?
What do you see?
Some people waste it.
Some people don't do anything with it.
And some people invest it.
Which one we are doing here on this
life?
Are we investing?
If you were investing, then you will do
the 10 seconds looking at a verse in
the Quran.
It's very easy to say things.
And I'm so scared when I say things
like, Allah, I said it.
You're going to test me right away.
If you are really in this earth, I
look at it as my investment for Akhira.
Then everything I do, that doesn't mean I'm
not going to do anything.
I'm not going to have fun.
I'm not going to study.
No, no, no, no, no.
He didn't say that.
He said, fadlu al-'alimi ala al-'abid al-Rasul
alaihi salatu wasalam ka fadli al-qamari ala
al-kawakib or ka fadli ala ahsanikum.
The virtue of somebody who is knowledgeable, meaning
you study, you learn, you look around, over
the person who worship Allah is the same
level of he, Rasul alaihi salatu wasalam, his
virtue over the Sahaba.
So we are here in this dunya.
Yes, have fun, of course.
Rasul alaihi salatu wasalam had fun.
He used to race with Aisha, Sayyida Aisha.
But we're not here only to have fun.
I am here.
He gave me one, two, three, four, five.
Everybody was given something different.
What did you do with it?
So this earth, we are here to show
Allah who's better.
And I can't claim it.
This is the other thing.
I can't claim it.
I can tell you stories about how good
I am.
Sure.
Let's see what Allah wrote in my book.
