			Allah is merciful. He's kind. He knows you.
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			He knows your struggles. He knows your uniqueness.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			He knows your trials. Sometimes a person appears
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			to be very very close to Allah. They
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			have struggles.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			Their struggles are hidden from others.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			They know what they are working on in
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:19
			terms of eradicating their bad habits. A dark
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			habit you may have. It happens. We are
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			human beings. You may have something, if it
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			were to be exposed to the masses you
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			would probably be embarrassed. If it were to
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			be exposed to your own spouse you might
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			be embarrassed. So it's between you and Allah.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			Allah knows it, you know it. Work on
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:33
			it.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			Work on it. You can do better, you
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			will do better, you shall do better. Because
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			there are so many other things that you
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			need from the same Allah whom you're transgressing
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			against.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			One of the most important things is Jannah.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			I need paradise.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			How do I get it? Well, look on
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			earth there are so many distractions.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			Allah didn't say you won't be distracted.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			He says there are distractions, they will be
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			powerful.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			Abstain, stay away. Wherever you've fallen, come back
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:00
			quickly.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			That's what happened to Adam
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			wherever he fell, he came back.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			But there was one major fall, that's it.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			After that he realized he recognized the devil
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			as well. He said, you know what? Shaitan
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			is going to come to me and make
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			me go far away from the one I
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			need the most.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			So Allah Almighty
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			has given us revelation to remind us and
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			to tell us.
