Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakato Bismillah R Rahman Rahim al hamdu Lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah. While early he was happy when my brothers and sisters, Allah subhanho wa Taala has created within us the love of certain things. People love, for example, their conveyance. People love wealth, they like gold and silver, for example, people love the opposite * and so many other things that people love. But Allah subhanho wa Taala says that if you were to be conscious of Allah while trying to get that which you love, then you would definitely be in comfort, in contentment, and in the Hereafter, we will grant you paradise. But if you were to try and go and get those things
that you love, through means that are unacceptable. A person loves a motor vehicle, he goes to steal. A person likes another person and goes to commit adultery or fornication. Then Allah says you're plunging yourself into destruction, and you will take away your happiness. In fact, there will be a crisis. When someone goes to steal, they're worried about the long arm of the law. When a person were to commit adultery or fornication, they are worried about so many other things at a certain point. So Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us, we know that the love of these things is within you. But don't follow the devil's beautification of it in the wrong way. rather go for it in the
most beautiful way. And this is why when Allah mentions these things, gold and silver, and the horses meaning the conveyance in verse number 14 of surah, Allah Amman, immediately after that in verse number 15, Allah says all owner Bo can be higher in
value. Should we tell you what is better for you then all of these things if they were to be achieved in the wrong way levena
being him Jen Jun.
For those who are conscious of Allah is indeed paradise. What that means is when you are trying to achieve these things, you must be conscious of Allah, the rules, the regulations, the do's the don'ts that he has laid, or not laid there in order for you to be distressed, but they are there in order to govern your life and make it beautiful so that you can achieve comfort at all times.
