But if you've
had a bad relationship with someone,
and you've been right on the other side
of the, you know,
the coin completely,
and you're
saying, do me a favor, I need this,
I need this. And I say, for what?
They wouldn't even look in your direction. You
wouldn't even feel comfortable asking them. So
Allah's example is far higher than that, far
greater. 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.
