Mirza Yawar Baig – Reminders Pass The Exam

			salatu salam ala Sheila, Phil MBA once again when it was habeas May,
		

			Allah subhanaw taala. as even as why utara COO,
		

			coo Ivan, our homelife done on Allah right that I said that does mankind think that they will be
left alone, if they simply say
		

			that we believe, and that they will not be tested?
		

			like asking us a question for what we believe.
		

			Now, what is this test,
		

			a test set of many kinds, but the basic foundation of every test
		

			two things, number one,
		

			that the test is
		

			where we have to choose between two things.
		

			And as a result of which, there will be an increase or decrease in our position of
		

			every test leads to a promotion or a demotion.
		

			And every test is a choice between two things.
		

			The choices are of two kinds. One choice is a choice between obeying Allah and it'll be online. And
this is the most foundational of choices
		

			do you'll be allowed to do or do not have
		

			the job of Helen and Helen.
		

			But there is another higher level of choice.
		

			When a person has gone to a position, inshallah, the person does not do what is haram,
		

			you reach a higher level of choice, which is the choice what I call the choice between investments,
		

			where do you choose to invest, you have an opportunity to invest money, opportunity to invest time
opportunity to invest your energy, opportunity to invest whatever Allah has given you. Where do you
choose to invest it in something which is giving you a higher return, or something which is giving
you a lower return?
		

			Now what gives you a higher return and what gives you a larger, anything of the dounia gives you a
lower return anything of the accidental gives you a higher return because Allah subhanaw taala
mentioned very clearly, that our armar are going to be with almost no time for that guy to say that.
He says that what remains are the good deeds. And therefore when there's an investment opportunity
in this dunya.
		

			And when I say I will not invest here, I will invest the same money, or the same time or the energy
or the same talent in the era, that you're making a very wise choice, and you have passed the test.
And then Allah subhanaw taala takes you to another test another level.
		

			But if you don't do that, and if you say that no, no, but you know, I want this thing, which is of
the dunia I want this house, I want this.
		

			In the house, I want this kind of fancy this and fancy that or I want this thing or that thing lunia
you are making a choice, you make a choice of investing that money in something of the dunya instead
of investing that money they occur.
		

			And obviously that is a bad choice. Because if you
		

			die leaving that thing.
		

			And if you have
		

			if you have got that thing, by Alan means, then you will request in malice monitor, if you went into
some doubtful means when you were getting that thing, then you have the other alternative. But that
same thing, if you had used for the benefit of the date, then that thing would have been a source of
great
		

			joy for you. And it's also great to work for you in the ACA. So that is a choice you're making. So
every time we there is a choice to do something, we must always ask ourselves, is this the best
investment and then consciously choose the best investment. The other so there is as I said two
things one is the choice between obedience to Allah and disobedience of Allah. Now between Salah For
example, one of the choices that we have, that we face is club memberships. Now, no matter how many
arguments you give, the fact remains that if somebody says, look at the reason for establishing of
the club, maybe you're using one piece of that club, but that's not the reason for establishing of
		

			the club. somebody tells me is the owner of our club, the name of a gym, what would you say? If
someone says the name of a swimming pool? What do you say? If somebody says your club is the name of
a place which is established for the sake of people to get together and have a good time and have
parties and you know, go to the bar, have a drink? What do you say? If you want to pull out because
there's no end to fooling ourselves. You're not called a member of a hotel, you're called a member
of a club. There's a membership there is an interview to be passed. And that interview What are they
seeing they're seeing whether you are fit to join them by whose standards by the standards of
		

			Muhammad Rasul Allah, or by the standards of all the people who disobey Allah.
		

			I know that all the people who
		

			deliberately commit Haram, by their standards, you have to go that desktop, go to that club, if you
think that club is based on those standards, then go to the club wearing a turban wearing a man
wearing a Mashallah and with your with your trouser above your ankles, and see if you get through
the membership.
		

			The point I'm making is that we can fool ourselves, but the day will come when we will be called to
account. And what a tragedy, if you are going to get the punishment of Allah because of a something
as completely stupid as a club membership.
		

			That is a test. So these are the issues of tests online, if you think you will not be tested. For
each one, there is a test, which is for him. This is the this is the beauty of, of Islam. And this
is where
		

			you know trips. For somebody who's interested in the the the test will be in learning the knowledge
of the deen and not acquiring given along with it. And this is one of the big problems of today, you
learn a little bit of a few of you out there, you learn to read the Quran better and using that you
are, you know God's gift to mankind and you then look down on other people. And you will start
Pronouncing fatawa here and there and you walk around as if you're great at the test that you have
failed that test, because you went into arrogance for some other people a test maybe a club
membership for somebody else, that that may be something that it is important for us to identify
		

			what is the test. And the best way to identify that is to go back and look at your heart. And this
is where the heart or the debate is the best move to ask your own heart. And you know what your
heart will just ask your own heart as it is this thing which I'm doing is this correct? Am I
comfortable with this? If I die in that place tomorrow? Am I comfortable dying in that place?
Because that is the final analysis of analyzing this, if you die in that situation? What are you
going to say well as well. And that's why the issue of tests. So those are very, very important for
us to be very clear in our minds, and ensure that we never do anything, which sabotages are all
		

			accurate, because the accurate is the only thing which which will remain
		

			everything.
		

			Everything else will be
		

			everything else will be will be will have to be left behind
		

			and be either a source of goodness for us, or a source of evil for us malice rantala
		

			help us to make the right choices and give us the courage to make the right choices and not put us
in a situation where Satan fools us and we are afraid of the opinion of people who whose opinion
matters absolutely nothing. Whereas we are not concerned about the opinion of Allah subhanho data,
which is the only thing which matters was Allah had been getting while he was happy as me
