00:00:58 --> 00:01:04
			All praise and glory be to Allah We thank him and we seek His help and his guidance and his pleasure
and his forgiveness.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:42
			And we seek refuge with Allah from the evil whispers within ourselves and from the consequences of
our evil deeds from whomever Allah guides. None can ever lead astray and whomever Allah leaves the
strain on can ever guide. And we testify that no one is worthy of our worship and our devotion and
our love and obedience in the absolute sense of those two words but Allah and Allah alone without
any partners, the true supreme King, at the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was in
truth is profit, and his servant and His Messenger when we send to the mercy to the world. Oh, you
have believed or believing men and women have the taqwa of Allah observance and duty and
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:59
			consciousness of Allah present in your life at all places in all times, as best as you can. And do
not leave this life except while gripping to that state of taqwa and that state of submission, that
state of Islam, may Allah grant us and your life upon Islam and death upon Islam.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:18
			After welcoming my brothers and sisters to the house of Allah, though agenda we resume with our
discussion from last week, which is why is there chaos in the world? And why does Allah allow for
there to be pain and suffering in this dunya in our existence?
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:38
			And we said that we need to first realize that the hype was oversold, the vast majority of events
and people and health and phenomena in this world are good. And that is why we asked the question,
why evil? Why are there exceptions to this good.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:03:01
			And then we went on to say from there we will look from the right angle to take this universe
certainly has a creator. And he has placed such good and such balance and such stability, and such
livability in this world, the one that requires so much wisdom. And so when there are what we see as
hiccups interruption,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:09
			pinches in our livelihood in this world, we asked why did the most wise allow for these things to
happen?
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:14
			And so we read it through the lens of wisdom, what is the wisdom?
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:35
			And we said that since he is the most wise there has to be wisdom. And there has to be a degree of
that wisdom that is kept from us because we are limited creatures. And there has to be a degree of
that wisdom that is hidden from us because how else is life with us? If we know all the answers to
the test going in.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:04:03
			And we said that Allah from his wisdom, showed us some general wisdoms and benefits of why evil pain
suffering me exists. So that we can use from these wide banners, something to help us navigate keep
us patient help us endure whenever we face obstacles in life whenever we face struggles in life,
challenges, hardship, adversity loss.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:11
			And today we want to speak about or start speaking about some of those wisdoms that Allah guided us
to think about.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:20
			very reasonable reasons for why we wisdom exists that we were guided to by our revelation.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:33
			One of them for sure, is that Allah allows for evil to exist in the world, to keep us aware of the
insignificance of this world.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:49
			A lot turns our attention allows us to experience this world hurt this world pinches this world
disappoints. This world causes suffering so that we do not settle for this world. And we don't
become too lacks for this world.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:05:00
			When it will always let us down. And that is why in the Quran, Allah villages does not condemn the
dunya he condemns people that are
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:10
			Dubin hierarchy dunia welcome. I know we have people that settle for this world accepted our content
with it, and they put their guard down towards it.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:58
			And the nature of the human being is that the more he has of this world, the more diluted he gets by
it. That's just our nature. You know, one of the, the great writers in modern times, not even a
Muslim, he recognized this phenomena and human nature. His name was CS Lewis, he used to see that
God whispers to us this is the way that he puts it. God whispers to us in our pleasure. He means
that when you're enjoying yourself, you can hardly ever if you will hear the voice of God meaning
you don't pay attention to God when you're enjoying yourself. The Quran confirms this gala in Delhi
in Santa Lucia and Rahul governor, the human being crosses all limits when he feels like he doesn't
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:34
			have any need. When your needs get taken care of. You just you're out of there in a second. He says
God whispers to us in our pleasure, and speak to us in our conscience, our conscience, meaning what
meaning if we were to actually pay attention to God, we would hear him it's very obvious you can't
deny God, but we don't listen to our conscience when we're in pleasure. He says, and he screams at
us in our pain. Meaning when do we hear God? When do we pay attention to God? When is it so obvious
and evident there must be a God, when we're in pain.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			He says it is his
		
00:06:39 --> 00:07:22
			megaphone with which he arouses a deaf world when the world doesn't want to listen, a love his mercy
forces them to listen, how does he forced them to listen, with these disappointment with these
interruption with these Wake Up Calls, that are the greatest thing for them, as in the final lesson,
he takes away from you to actually give you that's his nature, he doesn't take away from you because
he doesn't care for you. He doesn't take away from you because he has limitations and doesn't have
enough to give you or that he's stingy with his riches, none of that he meant or who up up. His
deprivation of you so many times is actually him granting you so much priceless treasures. You know,
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:26
			I remember that. And I think about the story of
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:36
			Muhammad Ali Rahim Allah, the famous boxer. He was known and even would say about himself, I'm the
greatest, I'm the greatest. I'm the greatest.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41
			And he was what he was celebrated as that.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:58
			And he increased in greatness, and increased in fame when he gave up his belt his championship
titled by going to prison and accepted that so that he wouldn't have to be forced to kill innocent
people being drafted in the war overseas.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:07
			And so that even increased him in greatness. So it's probably reinforced in him the sentiment that
I'm great.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:23
			And then Allah gave him what gave him the gift of a disease, gave him Parkinson's. Muhammad Ali,
many people know he died from Parkinson's disease, his body began to fail him at the end of his
life, about him a whole lot with Tyler.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:53
			He began to lose his balance, couldn't sense of strength anymore, his tongue would get heavier and
heavier and heavier. And in one of his final interviews before he could hardly be understood
anymore, you can hardly make out the words, you hear him saying it with a very heavy tongue with a
very heavy lift. He says, I used to say that I'm the greatest. And Allah gave me this disease to
remind me that he's the greatest. So kinda died.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:40
			Imagine, imagine Muhammad Ali would have met Allah with championship belts with the praise of the
people for resisting to go to war and being a hero. What would that do for him? alongside that
arrogance in his heart that he was the greatest? How did I love break the arrogance in his heart in
a way that insha Allah guarantees his seat in Jannah with that disease, that very difficult dragging
long winded disease, that the ability did him slowly but surely. And so this is of the greatest
benefit of this world of the harms or pains that we feel in this world is to not settle for this
world to realize it's insignificant, nothing less, nothing is worth it in comparison to the next
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:40
			word.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			Hola Hola. That was emiliana
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:13
			hamdu lillahi wa salatu salam ala Milena Viva La ilaha illallah wa ala Sheree cara, or shadow Anna,
Mohammed, an avid who want to be you who are solo.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:21
			And this is the second of the wisdoms that we will discuss today regarding why evil exists
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:59
			to make the relationship and the process of being tested in this world to be rewarded in the next
world a reality. Because being tested means there's a challenge, right? Or else to find a test if
you know the answers, as we said, and so how am I being tested? If I can't do wrong? Do I get any
credit for that? If I were locked away in a prison cell, and I have not drank alcohol or use drugs
for 10 years, do I deserve credit for this? No, it wasn't an option to begin with. But the fact that
it was available, the fact that it was accessible and I restrained myself
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:13
			that those evils being available and me restraining myself is what makes the test a real test is
what makes life meaningful. And I was though agenda reminds us of this throughout the Quran.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:32
			He says a levy Kala Kala Mota will hire Talia Balu Akuma ucommerce and Ramallah he is the one that
created the phenomenon of death and life that is of the evils we all run from. But he created those
to exist to test you which of you will be best indeed.
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:55
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says kulu neffs in battle mode, every soul is bound to die will taste death
when a blue can be shared. We will play the fitna to melena total gerawan. And then we in light of
that we will test you with good and evil, there has to be good and evil. And then you will come back
to us and answer for all of this.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:09
			You know, the idea of coming back to Allah, the idea of the hereafter decimates the whole problem of
evil, the objection of why evil exists in the world. This is why
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:26
			atheists always when they want to talk about the problem of evil, they say, if there's a God, why is
there evil in the world? And don't tell me to test me and I have to wait for the next life. This is
because they know if there is a next life, then the problem of evil makes no sense it is not a
problem.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:13:10
			If I am murdered as a child, sometimes they give you gruesome examples, say they say this little
child who got this disease and how could he tries to emotionally shame you into How could your God
let that happen. But in light of the hereafter Allah is not being fair to these children. Allah is
being generous with these children. Yet a child that dies without a chance of life. Just factor in
the hereafter. What happens really, they missed out on 60 years here, they missed out on 100 years
here of life. fairness would be to give them a replacement life, right? That would be justice a lot
giving them another 100 years. Allah is not giving them another 100 years. He's not giving them 100
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:22
			million years he giving them endless life isn't t subhana wa Taala. And in a place that's not here,
in a much better place. So this is not just from a love this is graciousness from Allah.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:46
			That's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to us, the example of this dunya next to the
last era, is like the example of one of you you do is what I hope is we are hopeful again, one of
you will stick his finger into the sea, and then pulls it out for Leon looby, my arogya let him see
how much of the ocean that he takes back with his finger.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:54
			Nothing. The finger dipped in the ocean takes nothing from the ocean. The comparison of this life on
the next
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			ends the discussion on evil.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:11
			And so to enable us to use the evils and the good of this world, to earn to fulfill our purpose life
to be meaningful to earn our ranks in the Hereafter is of the wisdoms why this is here.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:30
			And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to us in one ha de la Mel there Oh, Sophia has
become one of you the place where he dropped his whip. Phil Jenna in paradise Hi, Amina Daniela
Murphy is better than this world and everything in it.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:45
			You know, dropping your whip means what? The Arabs or people that ride animals when you're
traveling, you have a whip to make sure your horse moves. When you get home, you throw the whip down
so you get off the horse. You just throw it down. You don't need it anymore. You're home.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:15:00
			So expression means you simply arriving in general is better than the whole world and everything in
it. Because if you had this entire world and everything in it, what's the
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:19
			point if it's going to end anyway, even if it were agenda, but it's going to end. What about a world
that is superior and more or less think? You know how they used to say, Alhaji Abubakar key Cairo
minister have been funny. That would that laugh is better than goal that runs out.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:26
			So what about when you have something that's golden doesn't run out compared to wood that runs up?
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:34
			This is the comparison. And he said in the final Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
to us,
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:55
			you be an army le dounia mean scenario multi ama for you missile fanatee Hamza, a person that
enjoyed everything more than anyone ever did in this world, from those that are bound for the fire
will be just dipped into the fire one time.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			And then he will be pulled out in a level asked him how to write an email.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:09
			Have you ever enjoyed anything in your life? He will say no, I swear by your mind now our exotic
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:15
			memorabilia and I've never experienced any good whatsoever.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:22
			And the prophets often and continue to say Will you be AB se and engine
		
00:16:23 --> 00:17:00
			dunia mean any agenda thielmann tm for your home a Sufi genetti Hamza, the person who had the
greatest adversities, the greatest hardships ever from the people of this world that are bound to go
to Paradise and they will just be dipped. They will be sample sampling the agenda, the paradise and
then they will be pulled out and told held Murat Helmer Rebecca she'd gotten up. Have you ever
experienced any hardship? Any adversity, any pain? He will say No, exactly. I swear by your mic on
law. I've never experienced any pain.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			And he said Allah salatu wa sallam
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:36
			that on the Day of Judgment. Yeah, what do I do last year the people that didn't go through as much
pain and suffering in this world. Sheena Europa handled Bella is one of the people that went through
difficult tribulations, difficult tests are receiving their awards. The people that did not go
through as tough tests when they see their award. They will wish low Korea but julu humble Macario
that their skins were sliced with bleeds meaning so they can match them in reward.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:18:18
			We will end here in sha Allah and explore some more wisdoms next week asking a lot though just to
teach us that which will grant us acquaintance with him and grant us smoothness in our journey in
this life. May Allah grant us in our families ease May Allah grant us and our families ease. May
Allah grant us the certainty that will lighten for us the calamities of this world. May Allah pardon
us and give us patience when he chooses to test us. May Allah forgive us and have mercy on us. May
Allah teach us that which will benefit us and benefit us with that which he has taught us and to
increase us in observance of him and knowledge of Him and love of him and duty to him. And adherence
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:56
			to the path of His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam may Allah be with the Muslims in every
corner of the world and bring them back to his religion and his book, a beautiful swift return. May
Allah return dignity to the oma in every corner of the world. And may Allah use us and have us be of
those who contribute towards that before our time is done. A lot of Macmillan our Hamner, Laughlin
