			Sometimes you have a person,
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			he thinks he is powerful.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			He wants to harm you. You know what
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			happens?
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			In His harm for you,
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			your contentment
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			is greater
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			than His own anger that He has within
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			Him. Yet, you are the 1 who is
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			wronged, and he is the 1 who thinks
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			he is right. That is from Allah.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			That is from Allah.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			When the ulama of a 4 times were
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			imprisoned,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			what happened to them? They were excited in
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:34
			the jails.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			And those who jailed them died
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			of stress.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			Imagine. They were happy because
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			they
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			say, I'm happy here. I'm excited. I will
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			make the most of my time here.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			They were happy.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			And those who did harm to them were
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			the ones who were at a loss. They
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			couldn't even sleep at night, yet in the
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			prison these olema were sleeping
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			very well.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			This is just an example I'm giving you
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			to show you that when you wrong someone,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			sometimes that person has greater contentment than you
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			will ever taste
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			at that particular time.
