Mirza Yawar Baig – Advice for life

Muhammad

used to advise and say,

get used to a difficult life. Get used

to a tough life.

He used to say don't mount a horse

from a stationary

standard position.

Leap onto the horse.

You leap onto a running horse.

He say used to say walk barefoot.

Let your feet the soles of your feet,

let them

get used to

walking on a rough surface.

Don't be in a situation where the soles

of your feet are so soft that you

are paralyzed if you don't have shoes.

Get used to

heat and cold.

Today, we live in an environment where

in a in a in a temperature controlled,

climate controlled environment,

where if you do not have air conditioning

in the summer, we feel we are we

are going to die.

I can understand about heat

because in the winter, it is literally

a matter of life and death. If you

do not have heat, then it's not possible

to survive in these in these climates anyway.

But,

summer is not like that. Right? But yet,

this is how we,

we feel. Today,

in the name of hydration, in the name

of drinking water, which is a good thing

to do,

we have got this new trend

of people walking around with, mini buckets,

in their in their in their in their

hands, you know, carrying that. So one one

hand is now useless for anything else.

You're carrying this bucket of water,

which you drink constantly throughout the day. I

mean, completely

you must think about this. You know?

Yes. You should be hydrated, but does that

mean that you have to be like a

tap or something with continuously water flowing inside

you?

The

to say, do not be overly pleased by

easy times.

Do not be overly pleased by easy times.

Verily, gold is tested

for its purity by fire.

Likewise, a righteous

slave of Allah

is tested by trials and tribulations, by difficulties.

He used to say that it pains me

to see born Muslims

chasing the lifestyle of the disbelievers by drinking

and clubbing and so on.

Why do you think the reverse run away

from that life, to the deen of Allah?

Run

back

to your and because

his mercy

overcomes

his wrath.

So don't tempt the mercy the wrath of

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

How long will the person be happy with

his worldly life

knowing that his ultimate home is the grave?

I think this,

is,

is something that we need to continuously

remind ourselves about because,

we live as if in this world as

if we are never going to,

you know, to face death.

Because no matter how,

I I continue from what, some of the

advices of

even. No matter how beautiful your face is,

you will still be the food or worms

when you are when you are buried.

Yeah. You will still be

the food or worm when you're buried. So

set aside your arrogance and remember your grave.

The remembering of the grave was something that

Rasool, rasool, rasool, himself did and he advised

us to do.

He said, be

very careful.

He said the the the wisest of you

is the one who remembers his death

most often.

That is something that, really we need to

ask ourselves and we need to think about

and, say, how can I live in a

state where I'm so heedless

that I do not remember my own death?

How can I live like this? Because every

single limb and organ in your body will

speak up and bear witness

against every action that we committed in this

dunya.

So

just think about that. And you say if

if you are

if the fingers

of your hand

with which you searched for,

haram content on the inter content on the

Internet or your phone,

and they are going to be a witness

to say that

I was used for this purpose.

Today, Allah

gave us power

over our bodies,

and the body remains silent.

Our tongue says whatever we want it to

say.

But on the day of judgment, Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala will give

speech to the body

and the body will speak, and the body

will complain to Allah

and say that this man or this woman

made me do things

which were haram. I didn't want to do

them, but I was under the power of

this man. So now punish this man.

Not a word is said.

Not a word is said except

that there is a watcher, there is a

recorder by him ready to record it. And,

of course, this includes

everything that you posted,

everything that you put, you you put onto

the Internet.

Believe me, my brothers and sisters,

social media is the biggest trap.

Social media is witness against us on the

day of judgment.

Social media is

azaabajaria for us. May Allah protect us from

this because all the stuff we watch and

all the stuff we post and all the

stuff we

agree with and disagree with and we,

thumbs up for and you put stars for

and you put ticks for,

All of that is evidence either in favor

of us or against us.

We talk about hijab.

Of course, it includes,

the the way of the way we dress,

but in hijab includes the way a person

walks and talks and looks and thinks.

All of it should be done

modestly and it applies to both men and

women. It's not only for the women. It

applies to both men and women

that they must behave in a way which

is,

consistent

with the sunnah of Rasool Allah,

a way of behaving with dignity,

behaving with

modesty.

As far as the sisters are concerned, SubhanAllah,

all I can say is

cover up for the sake of Allah before

it's too late. As today, you are over

the soil, on top of the soil, but

tomorrow you will be under it.

Don't wait. Don't wait for that day.

Yes. Hijab

doesn't necessarily indicate your level of piety,

but it is a fault.

It is a fard.

All of these are excuses

that people,

make up. They say, oh, so what? Hijab

doesn't show.

There are these girls I know, they wear

a hijab, but they do this, they do

that. That is forget all that. Regardless of

what you say, you have to wear it.

This is farr than you from Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala.

Don't play games with Allah.

Wear your hijab

and let that be a sign of your

piety. Nobody said you should not be pious.

You should not be pious. If someone is

wearing a hijab and not being biased,

that's not an excuse for you and that's

not evidence in your favor. You don't

be like that. You'll be different from them

and maybe they will change looking at you.

Wear the hijab

and make sure that you're all surprised.

And when you say hijab, it means not

only covering of the head and and and

the ears and so on on the head,

but also

the rest of the dress must be in

a way must be of a kind which

is not see through, which is not too

tight, which does not show the same shape

of the body,

which does not

show the body itself. It's very important to

dress with modesty and to dress with dignity.

Even though even in the afternoon, they said

make sincere tawah.

Not just for sins that you have committed,

but also for obligations that you have not

fulfilled.

So we make tawah for what we chose

to do

and what we failed to do. Both.

Right?

What we chose to do and what we

failed to do.

Because doing something which Allah has prohibited is

a sin.

Equally

doing something which

Allah

told us,

by not doing that is also the same.

To make tawah.

Allah

told us that.

Oh, you believe, turn towards Allah

with sincere repentance. So make tawba not just

for sins that you've committed,

but also for obligations that you have not

fulfilled.

We ask Allah

to make to take our souls away when

he is most pleased with us and to

make us

of those who are always conscious of Him.

I pray that the comfort of our graves

is more than the comfort of our beds.

Much more, Insha'Allah.

May Allah accept it from us all and

may Allah reward us and put it in

our scales of good

deeds.
