The speaker discusses the reward received from Islam, which is the um salm in the hereafter. The um salam is not a nation, and Allah wants to expose those who claim to have the highest standard of morality to be in the front. The speaker suggests that Islam will ultimately filter and purify Muslims, even those who claim to have the highest standard.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			Anything that happens to Muslims is khair in
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			this life and in the hereafter. Now in
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			the hereafter, it is clear in terms of
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			the reward. In this life, how? There are
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:11
			number
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			many, an array of reasons. I will just
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			highlight a few of them. K. The first
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			one is, Allah
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			wants this Ummah to be in the front.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			This Ummah is not any nation. Allah
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			wants us to be the best of nations.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			And when this Ummah
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			retreats and it is not in the front,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:31
			Allah
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			causes something to happen,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			a calamity to happen for this Ummah to
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			wake up, to rebuild itself, to become in
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			the front again.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			And this meaning is missing in in the
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			whole discourse
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			that Allah
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			wants to push us, to force
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			us to be in the front.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			Allah wants to expose
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:54
			people.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			Yeah. Or expose the hypocrisy
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			of those who claim that they have
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			the the highest standard of morality,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			the the values.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			Allah
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			wants to expose them.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			Not only to expose them, but
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			to what?
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			So we as Muslims,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			we get rid of this
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			intellectual
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			indoctrination
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			or intellectual
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			occupation
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			that we were suffering from. Allah Jalawwants
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			to filter us, to purify us.
