Allah is merciful. He's kind. He knows you.
He knows your struggles. He knows your uniqueness.
He knows your trials. Sometimes a person appears
to be very very close to Allah. They
have struggles.
Their struggles are hidden from others.
They know what they are working on in
terms of eradicating their bad habits. A dark
habit you may have. It happens. We are
human beings. You may have something, if it
were to be exposed to the masses you
would probably be embarrassed. If it were to
be exposed to your own spouse you might
be embarrassed. So it's between you and Allah.
Allah knows it, you know it. Work on
it.
Work on it. You can do better, you
will do better, you shall do better. Because
there are so many other things that you
need from the same Allah whom you're transgressing
against.
One of the most important things is Jannah.
I need paradise.
How do I get it? Well, look on
earth there are so many distractions.
Allah didn't say you won't be distracted.
He says there are distractions, they will be
powerful.
Abstain, stay away. Wherever you've fallen, come back
quickly.
That's what happened to Adam
wherever he fell, he came back.
But there was one major fall, that's it.
After that he realized he recognized the devil
as well. He said, you know what? Shaitan
is going to come to me and make
me go far away from the one I
need the most.
So Allah Almighty
has given us revelation to remind us and
to tell us.
