The akhlifru. And we said that Allah
is not happy with you when you don't
ask Him, but if you ask Him, He
is pleased with you.
But humans, it's quite the opposite. If you
ask them,
okay, they smile to you, they put this
screensaver on their face, they're happy, but inside
there's fire, and they always make God that
Allah would take you and all that stuff.
So they're quite the opposite.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala does not like the kuffar,
and he doesn't like the ungraceful people, and
he doesn't like the unjust.
He said it in the Quran in many
places.
And human beings, if they like you,
they are generous with you. If they don't
like you, they don't give you nothing. Okay?
So this is another difference.
And
by his justice, no one of us will
make it to Jannah.
But if he judges us with his grace,
there is a big hope that none of
us will go to the hellfire.
This is what the scholars say.
So
the prophet says in this authentic hadith and
Bukayi of Muslim, none of you will go
to Jannah by his good deeds.
So the Sahaba said, what about you, oh,
Prophet of Allah? How will you go to
Jannah? He said, I don't feel safe, or
I don't think I will go to Jannah
except by the grace of Allah Subhanahu wa
Ta'ala, not by my actions.
And we said, when you pray and fast,
this doesn't necessarily take you to Jannah. This
is a way of paying the debt back
to Allah Subhanahu. He created you. He gave
you eyes and ears and nose and heart
and liver and kidney and all that stuff.
So when you pray, you pay him back.
Then at the end, he will give you
the Jannah as a bonus.
You didn't pay for it. For example,
So if you buy a car by installments
from someone, you pay them,
a a $1,000 every month. So you pay
off in 2 years.
Then after you finish all the payments,
then he gave you a house,
a $300,000
house. So don't say that I paid for
the house. No. You paid only for the
car.
When you pray, fast, give,
you only pay back the debt, the price
for your life, and all the organs and
the nam you have in your life. But
Jenna is an extra bonus.
160 of them. The joints of the bones
in the body, 360.
So every day when you wake up, you
have to give salatah on behalf of these
30,
36,
360 joints in your body. And by joints,
when I say joints on you, 360
joints on you, I'm not talking about wheat,
k, or drugs. I'm talking about the joints
of the body. Some people get me wrong
sometimes.
Yeah. They do. So yeah. So the prophet
said
to pay back
Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, for this debt,
the
of the body,
you make the kabeer and the and the
remembrance of Allah.
Okay? Then he said, if you wanna do
all this at once, pray to rakas dua,
then you pay for the 360
joints you have in your body, and you
get 360
Also, in this,
we mentioned a long time ago, the prophet
used to pray until his feet were swollen
and Aisha said,
oh, prophetullah, you don't have to do this
because
everything is forgiven. You don't have to do
this.
He used to say, should I not be
a grateful servant to Allah?
When I pray, I show gratitude to Allah
So when Allah
gives you gender at the end,
you didn't pay for it, but he's giving
it to you out of his grace.
Another
way of looking at the generosity of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is He covers for you
every time you do a mistake. Nobody knows
about it. And He gives you time to
make them. And remember, if every time you
do something wrong, you get a slap on
the face or you get a blast of
fire,
so that is an immediate punishment.
Then, okay, Allah
Again, out of his mercy, he gives you
time.
The last thing I wanna say,
So the scholars say, every
time you do a mistake or a sin,
and this sin is associated with a bad
smell. Say, for example, if you lie, you
start to smell like a scampi,
or if you steal, you start to smell
like,
rotten sauce. Okay? Which is the worst smell
in the world.
So,
the scholars say, if people smell
in a different way every time they do
a different mistake,
people will not walk in each other's Janazah.
If someone dies and we know by his
smell or her smell that she's a liar,
she's a thief,
we will leave the person in his house.
Nobody will come to his salat or Janazah.
We'll never take them to the graveyard. And
this is out of the mercy
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Plus,
imagine
if for example,
you live with your wife and today she
realizes that you lied
or your boss at work or your friends.
Your life will be miserable. So out of
the mercy of Allah
and his captain, his generosity is that he
covers for you, and he gives you more
time to make dawg. So take advantage of
this great namma.
