Part 2 of the tafseer of Surah Ibrahim by Sheikh Moutasem at the Abu Huraira Center.
2017-06-15 – Ramadan 2017
In the middle who want to stay in and wants to feel whenever we will learn him in surely unforeseen hours a year Dr. Merlino yeah the level phenomenal Bula warmer your Bluefin de la
la Hawaii Allahu lashley Killa shadow Ramadan, Abdo Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sahbihi wa seldom at the Sleeman kto, all that. So we started already with Surat Ibrahim, Ibrahim, this episode of solo by him.
And we
explained
that one of the most important points after conveying the message was that water, at least told them that our last point that I made a clear declaration, which is if you're thankful, if you're grateful, you live a life of gratitude, sugar, and Allah should increase you, a lot shall increase you. And that comes by the way from the name of a las Mandela Shakur, one of the names of Allah is a shock or
a shock or that means he is thankful he is grateful a lot appreciates what you do. So even the little things you do a lot better appreciates them, and a lot pays back for them.
Sometimes we do good things, and we don't see an immediate response or immediate payoff. And we might sometimes either question what we did, or we might even undermine the value of what we did. And these Actually, these are two
outside pitfalls that people often fall to. So whatever good you do for the sake of a loss, Montana will never go to waste. It will never go to waste and the professor sentiment somebody mentioned that some people will stand in the presence of a loss but then on the Day of Judgment, and there will be surprised about hassanal in their records, they have no clue where these came from, or there were small things they did and they just forgot about them. But the last month that I kept them for them.
I said Moses said to his people Alamo center for a woman will oblige me and in aloha lohani Yun Hamid, that if you are ungrateful if you are if you disbelieve in Allah subhanaw taala that you're not going to affect a loss. You're not going to do any harm. And the last one tada
is free of need. He doesn't need his creation doesn't need their worship, he doesn't need their devotion. And the last part, Allah is praiseworthy by himself, you you're not going to add anything to Allah. By worshiping Him observing how many were mentioned that he could see the divine Hadees that even if all the creation everything in the creation worships a lot, it's not going to add to a loss of Allah anything.
And now we come to this verse. Allah miotic will never allow the enemy to come call me nowhere. diwata Mottola.
Watch the explain this.
Judge was wrong be paying it forward do it for him. Mahalo. inaka Follow NaVi ma or sintomi. Were in that efficient Kimmy method on Ana de las Montana says, didn't you receive within the news Ritu about the nations that came before. And this basically
this is mainly directed at people of the disbelievers of Croatia disbelieved, but also applies to any disbelieving nation. So last one, China says that all these nations that came before laws destroyed them, and their profits came to them with clear signs, yet they rejected them and they disbelieved and they said we are in doubt of what you were sent to it. Now here's where we're going to start because we stopped here last time. Our let rasuluh affiliation
family this summer it will be under Oh come Leon theological Mindanao become where you are Farah Camila, Gianni Muslim.
Now the response of the prophets and messengers was, first of all,
it was more of a a bafflement like they were sort of shocked. You are in doubt of Allah subhanaw taala.
You are in doubt affiliation is there doubt about Allah, like this is inconceivable.
inconceivable that you doubt the the presence and the existence of Allah spirit Allah, and not only that, that you even doubt his right to be worshipped. So that shows that reason and revelation go hand in hand. And when our reason leads us our so called reason leads us to anything other than faith, we should question it. Because reason can reason is based on rationalizations.
The mind can go astray. Because it has a lot of weaknesses, the mind depends on information. If I if there is lack of information, you cannot make good reason, by the way, you cannot make good reason, you can be the most intelligent person on earth. But if you lack the necessary information, you cannot arrive at a correct conclusion. This is why you need information. So, this is why the mind is dependent on information. And we know that we don't have all the information.
We know you can be intelligent, but you cannot solve a problem unless you have enough information, enough data about it. If you don't have enough data, you're going to create a mess. Even if you're intelligent, even if you have other tools, you can't because intelligence needs information intelligence is patterns in order to for these patterns to function and provide you with good outcomes, you need information. So that to apply this intelligence on without without information intelligences is useless. So when whenever our rationalization our logic does not lead to anything that that agrees with revelation, we have to question it, we have to question there are so many
issues, there are so many faults. There is something called there's a field of studies of science, and it's in the field of psychology, they call it cognitive bias. cognitive bias means cognitive is meaning your thinking process, your mental process. So we have bias, we have different types of biases, like we we arrive at illogical conclusions, the mind is how it does.
Even when the information is there, that human beings to show that rationalization or mind is not perfect. It has faults, it has problems, it has issues.
So call us or film aphylla. He said doubt about our loss. Is there really doubt about Allah? And there is something as very interesting.
Usually people ask for the evidence for the proof that a lot is that people who question the Creator, they say, where's the evidence? Where's the proof that God is that? The
the ironic thing is that a lot is the proof for everything.
Allah is the ultimate proof.
He's the ultimate proof for everything, Allah is more evident than any of us. Allah is more evident than anything that we can perceive.
Yet you are asking for, let's say,
a second or a be great evidence to prove and a great evidence. It's ironic, you have reversed the process, Allah is the most evident thing in existence. I was the most evidence. So when we question him, and we search for evidence that a lot exists, that means that we have adopted a faulty logic process, a faulty mental process, and our approach to our last panel data. And that's what humanity is suffering from now. And there is something about humans,
most humans cannot see the fault of their own thinking.
Most people cannot see the faults of their own thinking and this is what I lost repeatedly in the vices, okay, Daddy, because again, adequately omit Metal Hammer home. And thus we have beautified for every people, their actions, you know, when you believe in an idea you don't see faults in it
is not because there's no faults because you fail to see the faults. That's how these are the main things. When you believe in an idea Your mind is going to blind you to anything that goes against this idea. That's how we think that's how we humans function.
So
so your thought process is always beautified for you you think you now look at what's happening between let's get a little bit political. What's happening in the Gulf now, right? Wherever you go, everyone has the solution to what's happening between these countries in the Gulf, Saudi Emirates, Bahrain and others against Qatar, everyone is gonna break down this the whole situation for you as if they know everything. These are right, these are on the right, these are on the wrong and so on and so forth. You're going to find people on both sides and everyone believes their case is perfect, and they make full sense.
So who's who's on the right
that's how we humans are any any political issue, bring it about you're going to find people disagreeing about it. These people think I know him very well. My idea of it is perfect. My analysis of it is the best or the one thinks the same. Everyone thinks they're right.
The mind things, so
call it social affiliation.
They say, how can you even have doubts about Allah? How can you have doubts about about Allah, that shows that these people are in a faulty place when it comes to their logic when it comes to their understanding, and how they're trying to relate to Allah subhanho wa Taala call it for so long as India, he should confess that so now what he went out, he is the originator, the Creator of the heavens and the earth.
That's where you came from, you doubt the source of your existence. That's what that's that's the, the irony. That's the irony. So Allah is more evident than even you are than you are.
And this is why it's important to understand as well, what what type of evidence, the problem is that we have fallen, for some kind of fantasy, that some scientists, not all scientists, some scientists propagate, and they champion, and that if you cannot measure it, it doesn't exist. If you don't see it, it doesn't exist, if you can't touch it, if you can't smell it, it doesn't exist.
And we said, this is problematic, because that talks about the creation, there is a whole unseen world that's far bigger than the seen world, far bigger than that.
And the relationship between them is organic, is very dynamic.
So if you're trying to figure out a lot on if you limit what exists and what doesn't exist only to your five senses, that's a big limitation is going to limit the experience of human beings. And this is why humanity has always had this study of metaphysics, metaphysics means beyond the physical world, something beyond, which is the world of the unseen. People have always had this, because I've always started this with I've always believed in something that cannot be captured with the five senses, anyway, so
call it or shalom affiliation.
And I just want you to contemplate and dwell on the innocence of this response. The prophets and messengers that were sent to their people, to sell them to worship Allah, Allah. don't associate partners with Allah, don't live, live negligent to Allah don't live, ungrateful to Allah, yet the response that they received,
that we even doubt the existence of the Creator, so with them innocently, these messengers say, I feel that he shed doubt about Allah. Is there a doubt about Allah, that they were baffled? They were shocked? What are you saying?
parlato Suman,
sartoris unawatuna. So he is the Originator of the heavens, the earth and now you question. But your existence depends on Allah.
Now you're going to deny the existence of Allah even question it. I feel a check. It's not even they're not talking about denial here. They're talking about doubt. These prophets and messengers, they even like find it so inconceivable that these people have doubts, let alone arrive at a conclusion that Allah doesn't exist.
So even the issue of doubt, is so big and shocking. What about denying the existence of Allah subhanaw taala completely. Then they say to him, oh, that was wrong. aphylla his father is not. Now there is something important here. That
if you look the prophets and the messengers that don't seem here, to have tried to prove the existence of Allah,
they use a very simple statement, very straightforward statement. And it's basically he is the Originator of the heavens and the earth including yourself. That's it.
That's it.
Because if this if this, if this does not get get you to a point where you really question your logic,
it seems you're not neutral, your approach is not neutral. So that's what they said to them. After that he should confer is an hour to Is there a doubt about the ordination of the heavens and the earth. simply look at the creation.
Look at the creation, look at the existence where it come from. You have all this in everything is in place, everything is designed perfectly. The beautiful design of this universe, how everything is fine tune all of that. And this is why even in science, they you know, and they even they have issues about this.
Some some scientists find the beautiful, amazing,
mind boggling, accuracy and perfection about the creation and they call it intelligent design.
They call it intelligent design. There is an intelligent design
behind everything in the universe, and there is some kind of monopoly and some kind of mafia in the scientific world that are persecuting these scientists. If you use an intelligent design, you will be ostracized.
You will be
denied grants to do scientific research, you will lose your position. I think there was a there was a documentary
about
persecuting scientists who have done work included in the research, anything about intelligent design.
They have lost their positions in universities, the contracts were not renewed. The grants were pulled away from them. And they got in so much trouble. Scientists, when they mentioned only intelligent design, there's a documentary if anyone has anyone has seen that documentary.
It's about persecuting and challenging those who
forgot the name of it. Anyway. So.
So all this, this design shows there is intelligence behind it. Obviously, there's a creator behind it. It's so obvious. If you're
running away from this, you're doing this deliberately. Then the prophets and messengers straightaway they move into the heart of the subject. And that's it. Oh, Camille Fiala coming down all the way over here come in a Muslim.
So he is calling upon you, your creators calling upon you, to forgive you your sense. And when we say forgiveness, they, this word is very big. It's not only forgive you your sense, but basically it includes what also leads to forgiveness of sins. So Allah is sending you a guidance to help you get out of the darkness, which caused you a lot of sense and he will forgive your sins, and he wants to bring you into the slides. And in this slide, you will be able to escape from sins and you will live a good quality life in this earth and in the hereafter. He had broken the ark theological mindomo be como Hara Camila agilely Muslim.
And he's gonna let you live in this world for an appointed time, which is when you will leave this world and basically, for you is going to be the good end. If you believe if you don't believe there will be the punishment callooh in anthem, Illa Bashar Al myth Luna, Luna Anto Sedona
Budo, owner to navisworks to any movie. So the response from their people was you're merely human beings like us. You're just human beings like us, you're not angels, you're not special, you don't have any special qualities.
So you're just human beings pretending to be prophets, you want to push us away to Sedona and Macedonia.
You want to push us away from worshipping what our forefathers used to worship. So basically, our culture, our value, our heritage, you want to take us away from that tune, Bissell Barney mubin show us a very profound compelling authority.
Meaning this authority could be miracles or could be very clear sign that we cannot deny that we cannot deny.
As I'm as I'm talking about this, I I had some some ideas, and I wanted to talk about them why they require some attention.
We humans like to think we are logical.
We like to think that we are logical, that wrong about it. And this is a very important aspect of who we are humans. This is again, this is what we what we said last month, he says he beautifies for people what they do what they think their way of life a lot beautifies it for them. And if you're upon the wrong way,
it shape on this beautifying your ways for you.
Now, humans don't realize what they call the collective mind.
Group mind.
When you are part of a group. Somehow you lose your thinking and you join a bigger mind. That's the mind it sounds spooky and scary. But this is something very well documented in sociology, sociology, they study the group behavior, or the human behavior within a group
A big part of sociology. So in sociology, they they figured out that when people get together, they behave in ways they would not
when they are alone,
when you are part of the group, when you join a group, you're going to do things you will not do if you're by yourself. You didn't deem them to be crazy. This is why when people protest on when people make rallies, it's a very dangerous moment. People could do crazy things.
People could. And this is what this explains what happened in,
in World War Two. So obviously, a lot of crimes were committed.
A lot of crimes were committed. So in Germany, there was a lot of persecution of different people of different backgrounds.
Normal people took part in crimes against humanity.
Normal people, how did they do this? The moment they joined a group, and they were in the situation, simple, normal people were able to slay others cut their throats, cut their bodies into pieces, and not even question that.
That's how humans behave. So put one person, one good person in a crowd, and this crowd acts crazy, this person is just going to join
is just going to go join. This is how humans behave.
That's immediately when you are on a group. But when you live in a society, you don't realize how much society shapes your thinking. You don't realize even the very alphabet of your thought process is shaped by your society. So you're not going to see what's wrong with it.
And you think you're logical. And this is why when people travel, they tend to see more of the loopholes in the culture, you're going to see more but because you're you're exposed to a completely different set of beliefs, or ideas or culture and so on and so forth. So we humans don't realize that we as human beings by virtue of us being social creatures, is that we are the subjects of
hypnotized ation, some form of hyperventilation, we don't realize and it's some kind of a brainwashing. Our our brains are being watched by the cultural wrongness. That's how we humans think. Our last model refers to something like this, by the way, in local on, for example, a Lost Planet Allah says.
And so lots a lot of current medical Latina woman comida, Latinas took a phone
call in Lima, or Sierra de Nino, call a Latina stuck in inability to be careful. The people from comb Syrah from the people of cider.
They said to the weaker ones, do you know that cider has a genuine profit from his Lord? So the weaker ones thought the stronger ones or the the elite were actually recognizing the authenticity of the message of solidarity center? So the weaker ones, they said, We believe in it, we believed in him. So the stronger ones, they said, No, we don't believe in, we know what we don't believe in him. And that led a lot of the weaker ones to join forces. And this is why on the day of judgment in the Hellfire, a lot of a lot of talks about either letting a student fo Latina stuck in an akuna kotoba
fell into
the weaker ones, they said to their leaders, they stick to the main ones, they said to the cultural shapers. They said to them, we were just following you are you going to help us now? I say no, you're going to take your part of the going to take your share of the of the punishment of Allah subhanaw taala.
And if you are attached to someone, someone, if you if there is some person has a strong influence in your life, if that person leaves, by traveling or by passing away or anything, you're going to see that your life will start changing and a lot of your beliefs and your convictions will start changing and you as a person will start changing. We don't realize that we are social creatures and we get influenced greatly by people around us and by the cops around us. So, what people call justice today, what people call equality, what people call respect, what people call rights, isn't these are not absolute terms. These are shaped greatly by culture greatly by culture, we have to be
aware of this. And if you are unable to see the influence of the culture of the society on you, you will never be free. You will never be free because you will be under the influence of others without realizing what a loss Oh what the society is actually
or how society is shaping you and your thought process. Okay, so these people
when they said to their prophets and messengers, we want clear authority, very powerful authority that we cannot reject.
sudo nano Illa
we're lacking Allahu Allah Yeshua amin, Abadi, Makana and natya
nila, were an ally ferlito killing me known.
So the prophets and messengers they said to them to their people, we're merely human beings like you. Yes, we are messengers from Allah. But we are merely human beings we cannot initiate science. We cannot come up with miracles unless Allah Allah gives us something we're going to show it to you but we cannot bring something from ourselves we cannot fabricate or create something. When I can ally oh no Hello mega ohm in a bed. Allah Spanish Allah chooses whomever He wills with his blessings and favors. Allah has chosen us to be prophets and messengers. It's not our fault that you guys don't like it. It's not our fault fault that you guys disbelieve in it
and demand the start demanding, you know, proofs from us. Why am I cannot in Nigeria condition upon an elaborate? It's not our right to come up with any miracles, any signs anything you asked for. Except if Allah subhanaw taala gives us something we're going to convey to you when I live only at a walk anymore. Do upon a line and the believers depend. We get to depend on the law. you reject to our message, you don't respond to the message your question us you call us charlatans, liars,
fabricators, whatever you call us.
We're just going to be patient with this, we're gonna put our trust on the last panel data. And all what we will do is convey the message like no Holly is Sarah, fellow because he himself a senator in law, I'm seeing Obama last year among his people, for 950 years, conveying the message to his people, and they reject their reject. And he would come to them in different states in the morning in the evening, in private one to one and in public. And he would approach the people in different ways still imagine such a long time still disbelief. And he never gave up he kept calling upon them, calling upon them until they reached the point where he realized these people are going to believe
in him. That's it.
Then they said well, Mallanna Allah Natok Allah, Allah, Allah, he referred to her Donna sabudana one and
they say Why?
Why shouldn't we put our trust in Allah? Why shouldn't we rely on a lot of water Allah, when he had when he has already guided us, he has guided us to the truth. So since he has taken care of our guidance, we know he's going to take care of our conditions. So if Allah is good as taking care of our hearts, he's going to take care of our conditions as well. Because it's, it's it's a
it's a bigger expectation to be guided than being taken care of physically. So last month is going to take care of this, the biggest thing for us is that we he's guided us, the law. That's, that's the, that's the biggest worry for us since he has taken care of this. So obviously, he's gonna take care of our conditions. And it obviously shows here, it's not mentioned directly, but you can tell it's implied that these people were or the people were aggressive to their prophets and messengers, they were aggressive, not only verbally, but even physically. And this is why they said well, unless Belen alhama de Tijuana, and we shall be patient, in the face of you of the harm that you caused us,
whatever harm you bring upon us, we will be patient we will
you know, we will handle that and we will resort to forbearance when it comes to the harm that you throw on us well ally evaluate the work getting whatever coupon and let those who are seeking for help seeking help seeking reliance seeking protection, let them turn to Allah subhanaw taala in that Allah is the one that you should turn to, for seeking help and seeking reliance.
And this shows that the people of falsehood will never will never let people who call to the truth, they will never leave them alone.
They will never give them a last time we mentioned it could be an obvious enmity.
But it could be passive aggressive and meaty. It's hidden, it's masked, they pretend that okay, we we give equal opportunity, justice, etc. But a lot of laws will be tacitly or will be in a treacherous way They will be designed to target a certain certain group of people and that's the people open the truth
or excuses will be found or
operations, terrorist
actions and crimes committed by Muslims but who pulls the string
Why because when we have gathered enough so called evidence that there's a lot of terrorism coming from these Muslims, so we can label them as terrorists, we can label Islam as terrorists, and so on and so forth, then we can take any measures against them, when we have enough, you know, support from the public and so on and so forth. So this is happening in many in many places in the world.
What Karla living in a Clif Bar Holy Rosary him now it's mentioned, obviously, we are living in a Kaffir olio Sunni Himalayan region coming out of Dana, our letter Odin, FEMA, Latina. So the people of disbelief they said to their messengers, you either come back to our beliefs and our religion, or we will expel you out of our lands out of out of this country, out of this territory.
You choose that these are the choices that you have, again, where is tolerance, it's got
a lot of these principles, justice, tolerance, respect, equality, forgiveness, kindness, and unity, and so on and so forth. These are cherished, when they serve a society, when they serve the welfare of a certain segment of society, that's the elite. When it serves those, when it works against them, they will find ways to go around it.
They will, they will find ways to go out and even it gets to the point where they will actually challenge these opening.
So these people they said, to their profits and their messages, you either go Come back to our religion is not even your free freedom of thought. Now, there's no freedom of thought. There's no and hits. This has happened over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, history and history is
bound to repeat itself. History is bound to repeat itself. And we mentioned last time as well. The verse were the people of Lord they said,
Men are the ethical minimum. Even ethically, when you differ with some people,
it's going to have come to a point where these people will say it's either you or us. It's either your values or our values. So the people have loaded they said kik loot and his people or whoever believed in him and his family, kick them out of our towns because these people purify themselves. So we only want people like us here.
And you will see how things actually unfortunately things are moving towards this. in this direction. May Allah Spanish Allah protect us.
For all her alien Baba homeland only cannot borrow me so listen to the profits.
That we shall destroy these wrongdoers these people we shall destroy them. What no skin and nicoma album embody him daddy cut him in half or half away, and we shall place you on earth after we destroy them.
This is this will this is a promise for those who fear the standing of Allah subhana wa Tada. And the fear the meeting of Allah subhanaw taala on the Day of Judgment. So these are for the people who fear Allah and love people who are dutiful to Allah subhanaw taala. And by the way, some promises in the Quran are given for individuals and some promises are given to the collective Muslim community.
So
some individuals might not see this
alliance speaking about the Muslims and about the believers that he will give them dominance afterwards. You might die before you see this.
But for the collective body of Muslims, that's going to happen.
The collective body of Muslims, that's going to happen. So there are promises that are given for the collective body of Muslims. So don't see them for yourself as individual, you can be included. Or you could be taken before that process takes its full course.
We're stuffed the whole we're harbor kulu Jabbar and honey stuff the whole that means they started they began the process that they began the process of persecution stuff. They began the process of persecution, they initiated it and those are the disbelievers
By the way, there's something here about these prophets and messengers.
When they faced enmity from their people,
they did not preach
or they not they did not only they did not limit themselves to preaching Islam. But they demonstrated Islam in their attitude which is that when
you are against us, you will persecute us, you will start chasing us you will start you know doing harm to us. We shall put our trust in Allah
So we call you to, you're going to see it in us, you're going to see that high level of faith, the high level of the man, you will see it. And that's a profound aspect of Dawa is that people see what you are calling to, rather than to just hear about it.
And this gives a lot of potential for the Dow for the, whatever kind of advice you give, when people see that in you. So these prophets and messengers, when they have given preaching and their people turned against them, they said, Okay, we're going to do what we are commanded to do. But what you will see is actually the higher side and the higher level of what we are preaching. And that's reliance on trust. And Allah will never waver will put our trust and last month, Allah will never go back on our heels. So you get to see the profound nature of what we are calling you to, if you have refused the words, you can see the truth of it manifested in a human form in a beautiful human form.
So
we're stuffed to *. So the people of disbelief, they said, we're going to they started the battle, they said, Oh, they started the persecution. And they said, if your Lord is there,
let him fight against us, let him punish us. And this has always been again, the response of many of the disbelievers. For example, the people of Polish they said all of you are their destroyers. Send stones upon us, is what the people have
said.
And sort of a last minute I said,
at the moment law home
with Carlo lahoma. In Canada, what happened in Hindi, in Hindi, for en, la de la mina sama away, Tina.
And they said, all live, this is the truth from you. What you send to Mohammed is the truth from you. So let's, you know, stones be thrown at us from heavens, throw stones on us. And as he was saying, the truth destroy us. That's what you mean.
Or bring upon us a severe punishment. If Mohammed is telling the truth. That's extreme and excessive provoking to the prophet SAW Selim. They seen this in in mockery to the prophet SAW Selim. But when people do this, a lot punishes them.
So these people, they said stuff, the whole, they started, they started the prosecution or the fight against these, the prophets and messengers, and they said, if your Lord is there, let him help you. Let him fight against us, was tough the hawala collusion Baron and it and all of those proud,
arrogant disbelievers who are stubborn as well and hard headed on their belief on their disbelief. They were disappointed because they were destroyed. Because they were destroyed by Allah subhanaw taala. Meanwhile, ah ha ha no more. You're scamming man. So now this is the punishment they got in this world destruction from Allah Spano to Allah. Allah fulfilled the promise that he gave to his prophets. And what happened? Now they have this severe punishment, and that's nothing compared for compared to what is awaiting them on the Day of Judgment. Woman what Meanwhile, he jahannam now he's going they went through the severe punishment, and now they're going through the punishment of the
grave. But what is awaiting them is even worse than that far worse than that, and that's to handle them as the hellfire. And what are you scamming man inside it? And he would drink from boiling, stinky boiling water?
stinky, boiling water, what is it? It's the all the excrement and the pass and the dirt of the people of the fire. And the sweat will be put together boiling and that's what they would drink.
That's what these people in the Hellfire would drink as the drink that they are offered.
When you haven't met and studied yet.
What do you see? Oh, so out of thirst in the health I was talking about what happens what's going to happen? That's a scene from the Hellfire yet Ah, whoa, whoa, it's a joke. Java is when someone is so thirsty. And imagine someone is too thirsty, especially those who get lost in the middle of the ocean. They get too thirsty, that they finally decide to drink from the water of the sea. And when they do this, that's the end.
The too thirsty but they can't resist the temptation. All that they know is going to kill them drinking the seawater is going to kill them, but they cannot resist because first overtakes them.
Their logical mind. So they, they drink the water from the sea. And they drink it. It's so salty
and painful as they drink it, but still, so they have this struggle, their thirst overtakes their minds and overtakes the senses, and it wants the water badly. Yet the throat and the taste, and the mind is telling them that's gonna kill you and so painful, so disgusting. And so it's so harmful, but it's still drinking it. So they have this kind of conflict. And it's putting them in a very difficult tight spot. So that's what you're
drinking, but they want to spit in their drinking, they want to drink it, but they want to spit it. So out of extreme thirst. These people, that's what they are offered, but they still take it in. But they can't even take it. You have to juggle when I Academy and they can't even get to a point where they can enjoy it or taste it. It's not something that you can enjoy your taste. So imagine Do you imagine the dilemma of these people? That's the dynamic of and that's the constant state. That's the constant state that if
you were to, you know, to mean Colima can and death comes to them. What comes to that person from everywhere and the hellfire. Everything causes death, not ideally. But because Allah subhanaw taala
brought death in the form of Iran on the Day of Judgment, you know, everyone is observing a lot of authentic candy, a lot smarter to bring around.
And that ram cache
is in the form of is a is actually death personified in that Ram. So Allah will bring it and it will be slaughtered.
So then what will be said to the people in paradise? Yeah, hello, john.
Hi.
Yeah.
Hello. There's no death.
You died in in that dunya? Here in this dunya. Because of this.
Now this does death is erased from the dictionary of life forever. There's no there
is only life. Imagine these people stuck in this situation?
Where to * no to me, including the mechanic. One more death comes to that person from everything around him. Everything around him causes him death
and the pain of death. But he's going to experience the pain of death, but he's not going to die. There's no escape. There's no escape. Can you imagine that situation? The mind by the way, cannot imagine this. If you try to imagine this. It's unbearable pain. You cannot even imagine it you cannot conceive of it
yet, and the tiniest part of it causes you death. Yet you're not going to die. Or you're not going to escape that pain. And it's constant. And it's nonstop. You can't even imagine this in your in your mind in your head.
We're at his mortal men Cooley mccannon woman where we made death comes to him from all around him. But he doesn't know he's not gonna die. Because death has been killed itself. So there's no death from now. From that point on, there will be no death. Well, now we may yet Swami wa II.
And still what's awaiting him is a thick punishment. And even the word other one Holly, even Arabic. It's not a common expression, a thick punishment. So it's layers and layers. It's something you cannot imagine. Because any kind of punishment or any kind of pain you look at, you always have hope is going to get to a point where it will end but with thick punishment, there's no end
it's an everlasting
it's a never ceasing process is gonna stay there forever.
You can't even imagine forever but imagine pain forever.
At least when death is so beautiful that comes such a beautiful notion. This is why the people in the alpha where they would say they call on medic you know the guardian of the Hellfire the angel medic who guards the Hellfire he oversees the hellfire. Wakayama, licola Yakubu Eleonora book. They said, Oh Malik, please, that Allah just causes to die. We just want to die.
Carla in a coma. He said you're going to stay.
It's not going to end.
Like there's no hope that it's going to come to a stop.
There's no hope this will ever end. In even trying to think about it. You can't.
It's not going to end. There's not unto this 1000 years, 100,000 years, million years.
billionaires, trillion years.
Much more still, there's no end no end.
What's the biggest number humans have ever reached?
I know I know what trillion what's more than trillion? What's next?
One
zillion. Is any number or is it just okay, zillion. What about more than zillion? It's zillions of zillions and zillions of zillions of observing. It's not an N non stop. There's no end. Imagine someone is stuck there. You know, what makes you put up with a calamity or hardship or pain,
your certainty that's going to end that's the only thing that keeps you going by the way through it.
But imagine even that is taken away. Even that notion is taken away.
Meanwhile, I hear that one method or living in a cafe will be on behalf of Mr. Hong Kong from an initiative that we have here hoeveel millhouses they have their own Ma Ma Casa Watashi
wa albite.
See if there are other other notions to share before we move on.
Pretty much the same of what we said.
Something just a comment as well. The issue of expelling the people of goodness
has always been the norm from people who reject the truth. So you find the people shy they said Linux regenda cache Valentina, maka, Natalia Tina, Hola, tengo una familia Tina. People shy they said to shy you and the people with who believed with you. You were gonna kick you out of our town. Are you gonna
come back to our religion come back to our faith and our culture. And
again, the same thing as Lord. Given the Prophet Solomon last month, Allah says we're in caerulea, Steffi zona came in and out of the loop to come in. Even the people of Christ, they tried to expel the profit source and then many times out of luck.
Okay, so method lilina Capital will be the example or the metaphor or the similitude of the people who do who disbelieve in their Lord and their Creator. Allah says, Don't allow them to say they disbelieve in Allah. They disbelieve in their Creator.
Just to show the fallacy and the stupidity of what they do. You are denying the source of your existence, you're challenging the source of your existence.
A man whom kalama Danish said that we had re Hovey a woman as if
their actions, their deeds are just like ashes. You know, when you
light a fire,
and it goes wild, then it sort of subdues and goes down and then goes out. What remains is ashes. Do they have any weight, and even a weight, nothing is so light, they don't have a weight, they don't have a mass of their own. And if you blow on them, they'll fly. They'll be blown easily blown. So a lot of seeing the actions of the people of disbelief are just like these kind of ashes.
When the wind blows on a stormy day, that's what remains for them on the Day of Judgment. What does this mean? Like they don't have a MakerBot. And he basically, they will not get
whatever they have done, they're not going to get fruits, they're not going to get benefits. There's no payoff from the actions. What is the meaning of this? First, it means everything that people have disbelieved they do to destroy Islam and hide the truth. They will not pay off.
That will not pay off because the
Islam or the truth will still spread.
The people who were destined to believe they will believe regardless so you're not going to change the color of Allah. So you do whatever you do as the last one that says in the la de la volume Fiona.
Leah should do and Sevilla funciona Fiona from Morocco, Allah him has
until May Allah Boone Medina cafaro.
Last month Allah says the people of disbelief
they spend their money spend their wealth and money so much, Leah should do and sebelah to turn people away from the path of Allah is the only one that will spend that money from Morocco Allah him Hassan will be paying against them. The outcome of this is going to be against their wishes.
For simple mathematical game has not been done, they will be they will be defeated, they will lose, they will be the losers. well as in a couple of legends, Sharon and the disbelievers will be put and pushed into the A hellfire. So this resonates with this meaning of this verse, whatever they do, whatever they do, it will not pay off. It's just like ashes, it's not going to have a real impact. The ones who are designed and destined to be to believe they will believe. And the ones who are destined to go straight will go astray. Regardless. Another meaning is about the good things, that the people of disbelief do. People who reject faith, people who reject a loss penalty, and act on
gratefully to Allah subhanho wa Taala these people have good things, right? They have helped some poor people, they've been good to their parents, they were peace loving some of them, right, they have good things, they do charity, they help out, they smile, they raise their children, right. And so they work to feed their families, these are good things, right? These are good things.
The actions of these, these good actions of these people, on the day of judgment will not benefit them. Why?
Because they will get the benefit in this life,
they will get the benefit of this life. And there is a number of editing processes on that show a loss of panel it's an honor, for the people of disbelief, whatever good they do that Allah will give the reward for them in this life, in the shape of wealth, ease
pleasure of this world,
pleasures of this world. And this shows that whoever does good in this world, good is going to come to them.
Good will come to them with this what we call previously or what's called by it's called enemies. And there's a balance in this universe, you do goodness, good results are going to come to you, you're nice to people, you help out people, good stuff is gonna come to you.
And so they get, they don't leave this world until they are paid off completely for everything good they do in this world. So that's gonna pay them off. A lot is gonna give them it could be wealth, can be status, could be family, could be fame, it could be success. It could be some kind of peaceful life, or a life of luxury, or any any form of beauty. Anything that people love, and people enjoy and people, you know, sort of seek often. So let's get to, but when people do good things, and they have belief, they will be paid, they will, they will get paid, they pay off in this life. But Allah will also give them a reward on the hereafter. That's extra, from trauma loss. But the
condition is if it's done with belief,
if it's done with a belief.
So that's another meaning of this verse.
There will be losses, this is sheer misguidance
this isn't the last life. This is a life that's gone in vain. This is a life that has gone in vain, that you've done so many great things, you've been a good person, you've done so many good things, but you have been ungrateful to Allah,
you have been ungrateful to the one who brought you into existence
to the one who brought you into existence. And I said, so. I, I've been seeing lately a lot of even Muslims question and they say, what about good people? Why did they go to the Hellfire? You know, you have to realize no one goes to the Hellfire unless they deserve it.
Unless they are criminals in the literal sense of the word.
So you might say but there are people never heard about Islam, these people will be given a test on the Day of Judgment. These people are called alpha.
People who never came face to face with the real message of Islam. Within not what's in the media, not what's shown by some Muslims, the real message of Islam, people have not come face to face with it. They have not seen it clear as it is. These people will have a taste test on the Day of Judgment. They are called al Fatah, the people of the gap.
So Allah is not going to do injustice to people. But if someone associate partner associates partners to allow or denies his existence when they have seen the truth and they have come face to face with it, they rejected they have to be so bad to do this.
I'm telling you, they have to be so bad to do this.
And if we don't realize how grave the sin of rejecting the last month, Allah is, then we have an issue and understanding what faith really means. It's the default state of human beings state of human beings to believe in Allah, to be grateful to realize where you came from, to search, where you came from. Imagine we you know, we hear stories about people who grew up in foster homes. And the the the wish that they have in their life is to trace back their parents. It's it's natural human beings to know where we came from, to be loyal to where we came from, to search for where we came from, and connect to where we came from. And that's even up to the level of parents. What about
the level of your Creator, your designer, we're all humans, our hearts crave this human nature craves that. And if you're not searching for it, there's something wrong, you're doing something wrong seriously wrong about yourself.
It's the nature of human beings to search for Allah.
So if someone goes against or someone finds Allah, and they when they find a law that go against it, I'm telling you, you have to be so bad to do this. You have to be so bad to do this.
And the last one that says lm de la, la la casa know it when
he showed him como
la Singh. And this is profound meaning here, don't you see that Allah has created the heavens and the earth in truth
has created everything in truth.
So there's nothing here that's that came about, for no reason.
And there are strong indications in the Koran the sooner that Allah create designed the heavens and the earth to test us, humans
to test us as humans. So the reason a last month Allah created this universe, ultimately, is to test human beings make them go through this test. So in a sense, that's a great honor. What about kolomna? Bunny Adam?
What about Corona, buddy Adam, we have on it, the son of Adam Hamilton, feeling better, we will be happy, but
we have carried them on the sea and on the land. And we have designed things for them. And we have favored them over so many of our creation. So human beings, the creation of human beings is not simple. It's such a great moment in the history of existence, Allah designed us, and a lot honored us and gave us this place. And Allah gave us something he didn't give anybody any other creation, except humans and Jin, Allah has honored us law has given us choice. Allah created everything in this universe, it just runs by the command of Allah, Allah says do it does. It just follows instructions, it has no choice of its own, he makes no decisions. It has no second thoughts, even
the angels.
But Allah created us different
is I'm gonna create you and I will give you a choice, you can make a choice of your
creatures can do this, you can do it make a choice of your live your life on your terms. But this, this kind of freedom, this kind of choice comes with responsibility, the outcomes, the consequences of your choices, you can live with them forever. As simple as that.
And I'm going to put this whole universe under your surface.
This whole universe is designed in a way that makes life for you possible. We all understand how things come together to make life for us possible. And because, you know, we humans don't realize what is there we figure out things when we miss them when we lose them.
When you fall sick. Now you realize how health Wow, how health is important.
How health is important, you don't realize there was something that used to spread on social media. I don't like this stuff. But I mean, it serves a good as a good example here.
Somebody might say would you like to get like
$5 million?
And that would be the first question. Can you scroll down? We are so left like to get what would you exchange for that? or anything? Okay, would you give up your eyes for $5 million?
And are you start thinking when do I want to give up my eyes and not be able to see anything for the rest of my life? For the sake of $5 million?
Is it worth it?
Most people say no. Right? And then the scroll down it says you think you're poor, right?
You think you're poor you have something that's worth much more than $5 million and you're not willing to give it up. So you already rich? Right? So anyway, it somehow makes you think but what I'm saying we only realize how much everything has been put
together when we miss it when it goes wrong.
So let's design everything in this universe for a reason. And this reason is true. And it's important, and it's valuable. And it's not a joke, Allah is not messing around. By creating humans in that fashion. He shall use him come here to be helped, Indeed, Allah could just wipe you out and create a new creation. We make a big fuss about yourself.
As so much pride there so much arrogance in this attitude by human beings whose Allah prove prove yourself to me and so on. And I mentioned this.
Richard Dawkins was the biggest, most say most aggressive among all these
new atheists.
He was once in an interview, and the interviewer said, No, you say, there's no God, there's no religion. And at the end is death. But someone who believes he says, there's life after death, you don't believe in life after death.
But what if you die? I mean, for him for that person who believes in life after death, they have nothing to lose, they're going to live this life. And if there is life after death, I have prepared for it. But for you, you have burnt your bridges with the afterlife is only this. So what if you after you die? You wake up and it's yourself in the next world? What are you going to do? And that was instead of addressing the question, he made an escape and what he said and this shows you the, the arrogance that she found, you know, blows into onto human beings. And he says, If I wake up in the next life, and I see God, I'm gonna say, Why did you go to great lengths to hide yourself?
You see the arrogance.
Who are you?
Who are you?
You do you demand, a demand God to do or Allah to do things or to behave as your expectations? That's your naivety that is asking this you know, realize the lies already. As I said, it was proven more than you are, but you just need to open your eyes.
So you have a typical candidate he can wipe you out and create a new creation. This was the big deal. So don't have this kind of pomposity and pride about yourself. Just know your worth. Know your worth. One motherly kind of law he realizes analyzes and this is there's no burden on Allah. This is not you know, it's not even difficult. Because Oh, what a Lost Planet Allah. If he wants to create something, he just says Be, just be His Word is his word because it's his, his define it creates, just by his word be That's it, it comes into existence.
Then a lot of it takes us to a scene in the
in the hereafter as a discussion between the people who will end up in the Hellfire and they will
show us some some things about what we said, social influence, how people are actually hypnotized. We are under some form of hypnotizing, hypnosis, we're actually we're just walking around. We don't realize that we are being programmed. We are being programmed. And when you wake up to this fact, you will have much more say about your choices in life, about your choices in life. And I said when we live in a context, we blend in it, we absorb it we don't see that there is even context it's a funny there's a it's a beautiful Chinese proverb. I think it was like a story that has a morale.
There was two young fish swimming
with the tide
and a creek and there was a big fish going against the the current. So the big fish looks at the younger one says hi, lads. How is the waters today?
So the younger one looks at its friend and he says,
you know what's water?
What's water because they don't know anything else.
They don't know anything else in the sense. For them, the whole world is water.
Why? Because we live in an environment, you take it as the norm. You don't realize there's something different. Why? Because these they have just hatched from their eggs have just come out these young fishes. And they think this whole universe is just, I mean, the environment where we are. That's why the whole universe is but you don't realize, if you jump off, you're gonna find something called air. They don't realize this. So I'm telling you for fish. I'm sure fish find it strange how humans survive
because for them life is only in water right?
That's how profound The context is. Because we blend into our context, we don't realize we become part of it. And we use it to think and becomes our alphabet.
It's even hard to talk about it. It's just hard to talk about because we're blended into this kind of thing.
Anyway, so until next time, we'll move into that this new scene that was mentioned on the soul. And we'll try to take lessons from it. Let's see if you have any questions.
Questions, so I'll go straight to
sort of recap
about what
definitely go up
the mountain.
Normal Air
Force.
Hey,
Lion, okay, this is about a little girl named.
Boy
about is still called nine when he made the dam.
It's about two words in Arabic said and
I really I haven't come across the difference between sent onboard them and whether they were under the earth or not?
I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
Play the place of your Judean man, George, there is nothing authentic about where it is. Some of the facility they said was when Yes, which is
in minor Asia, which is somewhere close to Chechnya, north of Armenia around that area, but
there's nothing confirmed. There's nothing confirmed at all, who they are and what they are. And just even to show you, you know, some Muslim scholars thought the Chinese were doing my job.
Yeah. And some big scholars, I'm not talking about some big scholars, actually, one of them was Jesus. And
he thought that he for him his opinion was the Chinese are actually
so but I mean, they have the majority of the scholars say No, that's not true. Asian majority are still behind, they're done. And the time hasn't come for them to come out. Because when they like the description about them, they come out
is, is marked by different things. There's also a shift from Addis Ababa
or mo LA. He lived about
150 years ago. He is well he had this opinion.
But
I don't know whether they where they are no one really knows exactly where they are. And
if they are, if the dam if they are more in a tunnel, rather than behind a wall or or a dam. We don't know exactly. But getting into these detail details, the issues that's not going to help us
Still, whatever it's called, this name could have come later on,
it could have come later on.
Still we don't know, again, but it's still it doesn't benefit us to know where you because last month either hit them from us. And we humans are only going to find out about them when they come out. So knowing where they are is not going to change anything. And even if we know where they are, and we know when they are going to come, no defense is going to help us. I think the only thing that's going to help us against the intrusion by George is to
just to be with the believers at that time. That's the only way just to be with the believers of that time. There's nothing else that can help us from that.
because nothing's gonna stop in their face.
What's up?
I personally, as far as I know, it said said dam is not.
Yeah, it's a dam as a wall. That's what I know. So the fame could be generally, Jebel was able to keep them behind.
Some people thought the Great Wall of China was that, but still, that's not true. But what I'm saying is that
if anyone wants to find out there, they need to do good research. And my advice don't depend so much on contemporary things. Because humans do not see the
sometimes the How can I say the faults of their contemporary thoughts. Oftentimes,
contemporary thought has its glare and has its beauty. And it's hard to see past it. But when time goes by, things will be revealed for what they are. So this is why one of the important principles and Addison Adam Scott had detailed work is not to say Hurry, say that's what's happening today. Know,
you might say this, maybe. But you cannot say this, Heidi talks about this in our times, not as like people say,
you will find digital
shadow power. And you will find the shepherds who are usually
almost naked, barefoot, and so on so forth, you find them competing in high rises arise, kay rapers. So, I mean, the person said this, and this is happening in the Arabian Peninsula. But
it's not the necessarily that the person is talking about these people. Because we don't know how long this life is going to carry on. What if these over 235 100 years, they get destroyed. And so there's humanity, and humanity lives for another 1000 years. And then 1000 years later, humans start to build skyscrapers that reach the status stratosphere.
And then people that sound and say, Oh, that's what I had. He talks about. They'll say in history. 1000 years ago, people used to think that was the case. Because by the way, Yemen, they used to build
you know, stories of seven, eight storey buildings of seven, eight, and some of them are thrown to that today. There were people like five 600 years ago, who said actually what's happening in Yemen that's what that's what I'm talking about.
So this is why taking HUD either verse thing, oh, that's what it is.
Believe me, these are matters of the unseen The only thing that protects us from them is what is what has come in the Quran and the Sunnah.
Okay, any other questions? Not your engine.
Now
Shooting Stars.
Okay.
Okay, this is about, okay, these things print a lot about.
Even the moon was split that NASA actually found this long ago. And they have found the crack splitting them into half and they've been hiding it because they don't want whole of humanity to become Muslim, I have a very aggressive attitude towards this. And
you know, what has come out of this is a group of Arab atheists that are have built a website. And they they're creating 1000s and 1000s of Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, Instagram, and so on and so forth. And they are coming up with false claims about this thing. They're pretending to be Muslim. So as a science has proven this, and this is in the Koran, they sing some crazy stuff. And you will find 1000s of Muslims liking this page, and seeing and sharing all these, you know, posts, and, and then these people,
they say, we have fabricated this and look at it now even Muslims, look how many, you have about 200,000 likes, and 50,000 shares and Muslims is how they made that of their religion, they don't even know where this came from. So what I would recommend,
later to consider is part of the unseen world.
NASA is not going to find it telling you, NASA is not going to find it.
And even if there, there is a night where there's no shooting stars,
okay, and NASA finds it, it's not going to be right as I
believe it's not gonna and there's no real like authentic report, as far as I know that there's no shooting stars, and they live together. So there are so many fabricated Hadith about a liver cancer. Now it's how electron law valid, some mild night and mild compared to the nights before it and after it. So it could come in the middle of the winter. And it's minus 30.
So it's not a mild night, well compare it to the nights before and after, you're going to find it's actually mild.
Plus, it's very hard to not even after seeing the sun and the rays of the sun to really say emphatically This is later.
If Allah wanted it to be known, he would have given clear signs that people would not doubt. But you're going to find two people look into someone says, Oh, that's what that mark statement says. No, it doesn't. And you can find this, people are taking pictures. And this is not a good practice, by the way at all. putting pictures they're putting, posting them on social media, and the comparing the night you're going to find and I found this interesting one year, three or four years ago, I decided to see this kind of frantic hysteria about
shooting the sun as it rises. And there was a guy like he was 100%. And there's so many followers is very popular in social media. That that's definitely wasn't 23 23rd night. And you could tell because he started from 19th 20th 21st. You can see the sun as it rises, he shoots it. Exactly the same point, same height. So you can find Yes, this show so much rays from the sun 23rd there's nothing it's like really such a clear disc.
And I said, Wow, that's that's very powerful. so overwhelming.
But what happened?
He put towards the end of Ramadan. All the 10 nights, you're gonna find three nights very similar. And you look and you're confused. I don't know what it is. Because there are three times where the sun is so clear. so clear. Just a disc with any any rays. It can look, you can really see it clear. So which one is that? You don't know. So there is a wisdom. The alarm made it unclear. Let's not try to beat that wisdom. That's my advice. Don't try to beat that wisdom, even those who tried to see the sun. You see it you want to see it for yourself find but never arrive at any emphatic conclusions and don't announce it.
don't announce it because it's going to be just as we say abandon this conjecture just some kind of guessing
yeah so it's part of laser cutter will always be part of the unseen alarm it might show it to some people alarm might show it cleared some people and it's not going to be through the signs maybe is going to be some kind of realization as I show a little lower now as the processor send them she said our data and they're actually less eloquent my whole via if I direct if I witnessed a little color so it's not after she's seen the sun
How can she tell this is
usually it's annoying that Allah gives that person as a gift
but still cannot share with others say that's needed the father should be a secret between them
hope this answers
yes
expelled Yes. Yes. I think it's by the the guys Mark Stein or something like this.
Okay expelled, expelled, documentary expelled. I think it's more than
Okay, what what the presenter is
Yeah, ben stein. Okay. ben stein. Yes. So it's actually good to have a look at it it's very interesting to show you that you know these scientific circles are not so scientific there's there's a mafia
there is a mafia around okay Zack Allah had
any questions
what exactly you're asking
between
this is this is profound
for the putting us in trouble now.
Okay, Daddy, the processor lapses in little jewelry, family religion has been
faced before.
Maria Maria dinafem.
novel Julia Maria, Maria Maria Coronavirus,
Facebook family.
A man does the deeds or the actions of the people of Paradise until between him and paradise, there's an arm's length, you almost reached it,
then the word of Allah comes true.
So he does some of the actions or the people of the file.
And he enters the alpha.
A person does the actions of the people of the hellfire.
until he's so close to it by hand span, then the word of Allah comes true or comes to pass, he does the actions of the people of paradise. And he ends up in paradise was the conflict of choice. And because
there's no conflict at all. There's no conflict at all. There's another version of this heighth, which is authentic. And it says that I am going to be a Mary Ellen, female of holiness,
individual M and we already had enough female huddle. in us. There's another iteration of this headache, which there is an addition, additional clause there. And it says a person does the deeds of the people of Paradise in what seems to other people
is what people see. But what's his heart,
he does extend on actions.
But also that he is so close to Paradise by an arm's length. So that shows that his deeds are not all for show off. They're not just empty actions, there is something there. And the person does the bad deeds of the people of the fire in what seems to be the case, that's how we see this person until he's close to a by one hand or one an arm's length. And then he does the actions of the people of paradise.
The shows that humans have bought in and by humans have an inner part in an outer part external part and
that a person
could have an evil heart. They could have evil intentions.
But still, they do good things.
They do good things and life has not tested them properly, fully.
So it seems
Without a test, without proper tests, this people this person is everything is small and easy and nice. And they're doing good things fine. But life has not tested them to reveal their reality.
So they seem to be going to the to paradise, because haven't done anything serious and in a grave sin.
But then life tests
and the last bout of their life, the last leg of their journey, and in this life, it tests them really to reveal what's the real heart is.
So they act from the heart and the action is going to be really bad.
So it's going to destroy everything that happened before because it's going to be something really great, something really bad. And that's why they end up in the alpha.
And the same thing to the person who's on the opposite side. He's done so many bad things, but this person has some goodness in his heart, real sincere, genuine deep goodness.
And life has been showing him the side which makes it which brings up about the the worst of him.
But the this test of life has not given him all the questions yet.
But like gives him a question towards the end of his life that actually serves to reveal the beautiful side of reuse. And that beautiful side is so powerful that it overcomes all the evil
of evil. So,
so that he ends up in paradise. So the point is,
people are going to see the consequences of their actions. And recent previously, not only their external actions, don't forget the actions of the heart.
actions of the heart, they're much more important, much more powerful. That doesn't mean external actions are not important. don't pray them fast. No, they're all connected. They're all connected. So what it means, how you choose to respond to the test of life, that's going to define how you end up.
That's it. And the point in this hadith is don't judge people leave the judgment for Allah. Because what you see is the external type of the external side of people. And this is why you can have a friend and this happens even in our personal life, you could have a friend, this friend has been very good with you. You've known him for 20 years, when something seriously happened, you might discover this person actually doesn't deserve your friendship.
There are people like this.
So that's exactly what it means. And it sounds justified to you have known this person for 20 years, but something happened and reveal the very bad aspect, very evil aspect of that person. Say I have nothing to do with you from now on. That's it. That's the end of it. What about the 20 years? And this way? You did, it destroys everything? Because it revealed some bad characteristic about some but seriously bad thing about you.
So that's what it means. So it's not about a law setting up people. No, there's no issue. choice here. There's no choice. Like the choices there. There's no challenge challenge of choice, how he behaved at the beginning, and how he behaved at the end.
That was his choice, right? Same thing for that person. So choices there. But the word of Allah comes through your speaker hallahan keytab. means Allah subhanaw taala. He knows the future. So he's written the future.
And whatever he's written is going to happen, because
that's how things are going to be.
This answer is issue in your head. Yeah, still something that
okay, there's no, there's no challenge of choice that has no mention of choice. The choices that you have, you behave good, you behave bad at any point in your life. But this also gives hope, and it gives fear. It gives hope that no matter what you have done in the past, you can always change things. You can always change things, even if it's in the last gasp of life, you can change things. And on the other side, it shows that no matter how good you are, you'll never take pride in yourself. You never take paradise for granted.
Well, if you say to yourself, no matter what I do, I might end up like that person. I'm saying you you might be setting yourself up.
When you are thinking about your good deeds, don't think in that sense. That's not the right point of focus. When you're doing good deeds, see yourself not doing enough for Allah and put your hope in Allah that he's going to help you keep doing good things till the last moment. That's what you should focus on but if you focus on
If I do something stupid towards the end of my life, well, you might be more likely to do and then if you focus on it, it's just like, if you walk in a street and say I'm not going to hit the pole, I'm not going to hit the pole, you're actually more likely going to end it. Right?
So it's the point of focus, find a point of focus, because your client can use this against it can can magnify in your mind. And you will be surprised that some people are questioning their faith because of questions like this.
So be careful what to put your thoughts. This Hadith was about putting hope in the hearts of people who might have done bad and also protecting people from taking pride in what they have done. That's it. That's the point in that
okay.
