And every time they tell you to do
something, you don't do it, and you insult
them, and you abuse them, and you say,
I don't want, and you say And then
when you want help from them, what do
you expect? Do you really think they're going
to help you? We all believe that what
Allah has given us, we actually don't even
deserve because of our disobedience.
Are we really regular with our 5 prayers?
Do we dress in the absolute modest way
as instructed by Allah? Those two things we
cannot do, and we expect Allah to just
sit back and have everything calm, cool, and
smooth for people who are not interested in
worshiping him. Not at all. Everything must be
smooth sailing, calm, relaxed. There must be no
hardship. I must have sustenance. I must get
a job. I must pass at schools. I
must do what and what and what. And
do you know what? I'm not even prepared
to dress
according to I say I'm not ready. I'm
not ready. It's between me and Allah. I'm
not ready and I don't want to do
it. And and you know what? It's just
between me and Allah. Allah is going to
judge me. Allah says, we've already judged you.
We already know what calamities are going to
strike you as a result of your, not
only
disobedience, which is one thing, but arrogance.
To say, I know Allah said this, but
it's okay. I'm fine. I'm okay. I'm okay.
I'll explain to Allah why I didn't do
this.
Allah told you something. If you're looking for
loopholes, you'll find every loophole on earth. Any
ruling you want, there'll always be some wise
crack on earth who's going to permit something
prohibited.
You know deep down what the rules are.
You know deep down what exactly Allah wants
from you. So remember, don't
make a mockery of yourself because at the
end of the day, you have no option
but to return to Allah. You have no
option but to be at the mercy of
Allah. You have no option but to go
back to where you came from. The world
can tell you what it wants. The biggest
and most powerful
can destroy you. They will also be destroyed.
They can actually cause your death. They will
also die. They're not immortal.
That's what it is.
