Make this decision, so I better choose right for either whom? So
there they are fully aware of Allah Rabbul, Izzat, Yul Jalan. So
remember that the promises of Allah, Subhanahu wa Taala have a
reward, and the promises of shaytan have a consequence. A
shaytaan, more
shaitan. He promises you poverty and he commands you to do
immorality. Walla, we are idukum
in Hua and Allah. He promises you forgiveness, and he promises you
increment and more when a person is about to commit immorality,
oftentimes, the thought that hits their mind is, this is my
opportunity. Let me take it. This person is in front of me. You know
what? They're inviting me. So let me go ahead and commit that this
immorality, it's good. When will I get the chance again to commit
immorality with this person, and ever more so, when the phone and
our devices in our are in our hands and we are all alone in our
rooms, and the devil's invite is there? The Devil's invite is
there? He's calling us, come, come, come. You never know when
you'll get this chance again, a shaytaan murukum bin fasha. He's
commanding you to evil, and he's promising you poverty. He's
promising you perhaps you will not get this opportunity again. But
remember, at that point, Allah promises you, Ma, Allah promises
you forgiveness that turn to Allah, Subhanahu wa, seek the
forgiveness of Allah Rabbul izhati, wala Jalal, and you will
receive not only that forgiveness, but you will receive vadla Extra
more from Allah subhanahu wa, what is that extra and more from Allah
Rabbul izhati, wala Jalal, it is the blessing And the barakah from
Allah subhanahu wa, you find yourself at peace in your life.
You find yourself adhering to the Command of Allah subhanahu wa, you
find yourself moving towards goodness. You find blessing in
your family. When you go home, things are okay. People are
smiling, joyous and happy, and you find that you are completely at
peace, and Allah Rabbul is that you will jaral gives you more. He
gives you his favor. What happens when you have a haram deal in
front of you, you begin to think, you know what? Let me just take
this this once, and let me do it just this once, because there is
too much money here. But there is an interest factor involved. There
is riba involved. So shaitan is telling you, take it. You will
lose you will become poor. You won't be able to get anything.
This is a deal of a lifetime, but that is where the believers
consciousness kicks in. That is where he realizes that veil
between me and Allah Abu as simply that breath that I take. It stops,
and I'm with Allah subhanahu wa. I can do this deal now, and I can
walk out from here and a bus eats me, and I'm gone, and there I am
with Allah Rabbul izzatti wa, Jalal that is the believers
reality. He doesn't only see the physical. He doesn't only see that
which is in front of him, the money that is sitting on the
table. Let me just take it. No he knows that above him, and that
person and the money and everything there is Allah Abu as
he is watching. He knows. And if I leave this for Allah subhanahu wa
leaves something for Allah, Allah will give him better than that,
better than that, 10,000 20,000 1 million that is on the table.
Allah will give you better. Let's put the same scenario and say, you
leave that deal and you walk out and you drop dead. You are with
Allah. Rabbul izzatti Will Jalal with a good deed, knowing that I
was conscious of Allah subhanahu wa taala, and the Noor hits you,
the light hits you, and the peace hits you, and the mercy hits you,
and you are now in Jannah, and you are at peace with Allah subhanahu
wa taala. You see how the believer has a different perspective. He is
aware of the angels, the demons, and everything around him,
everything else and ultimately and most importantly, he is aware of
Allah. And similarly, you find that when there is an instance of
fear and someone is threatening you, someone is telling you, we
will do this to you. We will fix you up. Hey, if you speak up, this
is what will happen to you. What does he remember? He remembers
that ultimately it is 60 to 70 years. That is the average age of
the ummah of Rasulullah, even if I am to live up to 7080,
90, 100, 110 I have to go to
Allah Abu asmaafi, Allah,
and remember the day that you will return to Allah um
Lam. Ka Sabat, wahum, lam lemun, and then every soul shall receive
that which it has harvested, that which it has worked towards, and
they will not be oppressed in any way. You will receive the goodness
that you have done, the bad and the evil that you have done will
be present if you didn't seek the forgiveness of Allah Abu is that
you will Jalal if Allah subhanahu wa taala did not forgive you for
that. So the believer remembers this and does the right thing.
That decision and that moment influences the next decision that
you will take, and the following and the one after that. So try to
make your decisions, fearful of Allah Jalal, conscious of Allah
subhanahu wa, and hoping for his reward as well.
