00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala makes it quite clear
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			that in this world you will get a
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			lot but you may not get what you
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			want because this world is not all about
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			getting what you want. For that we have
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			kept a certain place known as Jannah, paradise.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			We always say
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			paradise would lose its value
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			if you had to have everything you wished
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			for in this world. Because then you would
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			get to the hereafter and say, well I
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			already had a life where I got everything
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			I wished for. What's the point of having
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			this life? Therefore part of the plan of
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			Allah is none of us,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			no exception to this, will ever get every
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			single thing we just wish for. No. There
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			has to be restriction in order for us
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			to appreciate Jannah.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			The day Allah says,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			In it there is
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			everything that the soul shall desire.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			Everything
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			the soul desires, you will achieve.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			You will have. It will be yours. You
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			will get it on condition that you desire
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			that while you are in paradise.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			From now,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			these minds of ours may not even know
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			what is there. The hadith says,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			In Jannah, there are things that
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			no eye has ever seen. So if you've
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			seen something, trust me it's not there.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			You know, every time the women get excited,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			I'm happy. Her husband's not gonna be there.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			We don't mean that. He will be there
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			but with a with an absolutely
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			perfect character,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			perfect mind, perfect body according to your taste.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			Now do you want him? Some women will
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			still say no.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			That's how much we've harassed them, my beloved
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			brothers. And I think vice versa as well.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:49
			May Allah
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			save us.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			Oh, the men are saying Amin. Allahu Akbar.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			But the ultimate goal is such that my
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			brothers and sisters,
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			when you arrive there you won't regret having
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			worked hard for it.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			But when you see others going in and
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			you are not from among them, there will
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			be regret.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			May Allah forgive us. May Allah take us
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			to Jannah through his mercy. Because our deeds,
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			sometimes we know and we feel that the
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			sincerity levels or the manner in which we've
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			done our deeds or the amount of deeds,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			if it's not for the mercy of Allah,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			we're still not going to go to Jannah.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			We are weak.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			in Jannah is that which no eye has
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:34
			ever seen,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			No ears have ever heard of
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			or no ears have ever heard. So if
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			you've heard something or heard of something, trust
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			me what is in paradise is something far
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:46
			better.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			And in it
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			is that which no
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			it does not cross the mind.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			It does not even cross the heart of
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			a human. So if if in your imagination
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			something has crossed your imagination,
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			your mind, your heart,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			Trust me injunah
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			is better than that. You have no clue
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			what is
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			being prepared or has been prepared in fact
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			there.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			But we need to work towards it.
