00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			And we don't realize the gift of Allah,
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			so use your eyes in a way that
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			will result in you entering paradise. When you've
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			lowered your gaze for the sake of Allah,
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			you deserve something in that sight. Payment is
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			coming.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			When you swallowed your anger,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			payment is coming. It's coming. Sometimes you are
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			told, Ichta min ayeelhuisha.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			It's an hadith. You choose whichever hoo you
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			would like, you know. Subhanallah.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant it to
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			us. May He open our doors.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:29
			So
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in the Quran
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			describes
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			the something important. Every time we hear we
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			say,
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			I'm sure the word Tajiri is always there.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			You know, the little children they ask me
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			sometimes, what's the meaning of Tajiri? Is Tajiri
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			going to be in Jannah? And you start
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			saying, no, Tajiri means that which is flowing.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			But that the Arabic language has mentioned after
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			the term flowing, what is going to be
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			flowing. So what will be flowing?
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			Beneath this garden, there will be flowing rivers.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			But rivers of what? So these rivers will
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			be everlasting, they never run dry,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			they are at a distance that you would
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			like. Now, how is my garden going to
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			be? Only Allah knows.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			But what I do know is if I
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			want to see that river flowing,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			I will be able to see it.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			Who does it belong to? Me. How long
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			is it? The least would be 2000 years.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			Remember we are using time to describe distance.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:33
			The least
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			of my river. And what's the river? So
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			Allah describes river of pure honey. Imagine.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			Why pure honey? Do you know 90% of
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			the honey in the market is not pure?
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			Do you know that?
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			Everyone is looking at me. Believe me, 90%
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:47
			of the honey,
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			that's available, you you know, in the stores
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			is not actually pure honey. Even though they
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			write 100%
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:53
			pure.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			It's not actually pure. Pure honey is something
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:58
			else. Subhan'Allah.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			Pure honey is extremely expensive, and there is
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			a big shortage of it on the globe.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			They cannot make ends meet. So this is
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			why they have a specific way of, you
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			know, this farming, honey farming
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			where half of it is actually sugar. Allahu
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			Akbar. Allah protect us.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			Imagine we're saying Allah protect us from sugar.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			What that means is Allah protect us from
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			the deception. There's a lot of deception going
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			on. Jannah, the Quran says, pure honey, not
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			honey honey that's found down the road. No.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			Pure honey.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			And what is it? A river.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			So the benefits of pure honey in the
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			dunya, it is something that will be found
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			in the purest of its form in paradise.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			I cannot describe the purest form for you,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			but Allah has sent it down to us
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:43
			through
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			the bee in order for it to be
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			a shifa for me and you. The Quran
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			says that. But in its form, in the
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			duniya way form, in the form that is
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			made specially for this world, you know, it's
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			like the speck.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			We, in my part of the world, we
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			are allowed to import motor vehicles directly from
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			Japan.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			And what happens is, when you want to
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			order cars, vehicles, they tell you this spec
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			is only for Japan. Wow. What a beautiful
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			vehicle. So beautiful. It's only for Japan. You
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			don't get it anywhere else. It's a top
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			speck and if you were to see in
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			a country like this, that speck doesn't even
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			exist here. Why am I saying this? Because
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			man always needs examples to understand, you know.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			So although we are using a far lower
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			example for something far higher, but just to
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			bring it closer to the mind. If I
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			were to tell you honey in the dunya,
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			do not think it's going to be the
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			same speck of honey in the akhir.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			Don't. It's a totally different speck. You don't
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			get it here. You won't know about it.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			You need to get there first, and then
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			inshallah, you'll see what it's talking about. The
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			same applies to milk that doesn't go bad.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			Neither does the color change nor does the
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			smell change nor does the taste change. SubhanAllah.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			Milk.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			A river of milk. Imagine white. Today, you
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			have the Thames down the road. SubhanAllah.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			As dirty as it is, nobody will take
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			a cup and put it in a drink
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			to say the Thames I've drank the water
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:03
			of the dream.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			Nobody would do that.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			Nobody. Because we know that the minute there
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			is a little bit of pollution this way,
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			that way, the water needs purification
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			before you drink it. There, the honey don't
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			need no purification.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			The milk don't need no purification
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			neither does it need pasteurization,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:21
			homogenization,
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			whatever else the honey is go meaning the
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:24
			the,
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			milk goes through, it doesn't need any of
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			that. It's yours. It's as pure, and it
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			has the benefits that you would like it
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			to have. And it will quench you, and
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			at the same time as much as you
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			drink, you will feel quenched. And when you
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			want more, you will still feel like you
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			need more, and you continue drinking as you
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			wish, how you wish. And don't worry, you
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			will never have too much of the dairy
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			product.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			Because
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			the beauty of it, it's not going to
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			be the milk of a cow.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			It is the milk of Jannah. Like we
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			said, the honey is not the honey of
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:01
			a bee. It is the honey of Jannah.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			How Allah has it there? He knows. If
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			he has chosen a method, he knows. Whatever
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			he's described to us, we stop there. We
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			don't need to add or subtract. So we
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			say, there will be honey of its own
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			nature. There will be milk of its own
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			nature. Subhanallah.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			There will be water. Subhanallah.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			Water also that is so pure it can
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			be drunk immediately.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			And at the same time it has the
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			benefits
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			of quenching,
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			the benefits of
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			a taste that is unique
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			and on top of that there will be
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			flowing rivers
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			of what is termed as Khamrim
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			Khamrin let that
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			The mufassilien say here the term does not
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			refer to the blocking of the brain.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			Normally, the term refers to that which intoxicates,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			but there, there is no intoxication
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			in that. It is pure pure, completely pure.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02
			How? Well, let's get there inshallah, we will
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:02
			find out.
