00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

So inshallah, we'll be our discussion about Adar

00:00:07 --> 00:00:07

al Afrah,

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10

and we'll talk about Husnu Bhanibullah Wa'ur.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

This is a discussion we started, last week.

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17

And inshallah, we're gonna keep it short because

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20

I know the sisters have their, dawah halakah

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

in the back, inshallah. So we don't want

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

to, to disturb them. So,

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

the governor of Al Marat Al Madia

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

Khawal Al Imam Al Qayyim Bayin Al Husnu

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

Vhan Walhurr.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

So we, spoke about

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

what Imam Ibn Al Qayyim, Rahamalullah, said regarding

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

Husnu Vhan Nabiullahuwal.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

So he said basically,

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

if you have this feeling, thinking well of

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that will motivate you

00:00:48 --> 00:00:48

to do better,

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

then this is.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

But if it motivates

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

you to be lazy

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

and relax and do the haram thinking that

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

Allah will forgive you everything without doing any

00:01:00 --> 00:01:01

effort or doing anything

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

to deserve the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

ta'ala, this is called,

00:01:06 --> 00:01:06

delusion.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the

00:01:09 --> 00:01:09

Quran,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

Do not let

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16

the chief or the master deceiver or shaitan

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

deceive you regarding Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

We mentioned last time the hadith of the

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

prophet salawas wa sallam, it's an authentic hadith

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

where the prophet salawas wa sallam said,

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

do not let anyone of you die

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

without having this in

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

Allah thinking

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

that whatever,

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

you think Allah

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

is better than that. If you think that

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

Allah

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

will be generous to you, He will do

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

that. But if you think

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47

that Allah

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

will not forgive you because your sins are

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

bigger than his mercy,

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

it's a totally different thing. And this is

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

something that the prophet

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

said 3 days before he passed away.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

We gave the example of you for example,

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

going to, Steven,

00:02:04 --> 00:02:04

not Harper,

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

the other guy, Justin Frodo.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

And, you talk to him and and you

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

ask him for something and at the end

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

you say, you know what, I I don't

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

think you can help me. You don't have

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

the authority to help me.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

Or you go to a king or someone

00:02:20 --> 00:02:21

who is rich and you tell them,

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

yeah, you have the money but I think

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

you are poor, you are stingy, you will

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

not help me. What do you think they

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

will do? They will kick you out. They

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

will say, if you think I cannot help

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33

you, why are you here?

00:02:33 --> 00:02:33

Right?

00:02:34 --> 00:02:34

So

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

It is the same thing with Allah subhanahu

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

wa ta'ala. If you think that your mercy

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

is bigger than the if your sins are

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

bigger than the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

ta'ala,

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

then you shouldn't have any hope in him.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

But whatever you do, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51

mercy is bigger than your mistakes and your

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

sins. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will forgive you

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

if you are sincere and you come back

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

to him and you acknowledge your mistakes, He

00:02:56 --> 00:02:56

will forgive

00:02:58 --> 00:02:58

you.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

So in this hadith insha'a'b al imal alway

00:03:39 --> 00:03:39

haqee

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

through Abdullah ibn Abbas, may Allah have mercy

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

on him and his father.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

And the hadith is mentioned in tafsir al

00:03:46 --> 00:03:46

nikafir.

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

So basically on the day of judgment,

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52

there was a Muslim, he did some good

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

things and some bad things. So his bad

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57

things were more than his good things. Right?

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will order him

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

to be taken to Jahannam

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

for punishment.

00:04:02 --> 00:04:04

So the person, while we are taking him

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06

to Jahannam, he will turn to Allah subhanahu

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

wa ta'ala and say, you Allah,

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

this is not what I was thinking you

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

will do to me.

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will say, okay

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

what did you think of me? What did

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

you think that I will do to you?

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

So he said, you Allah my I

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

thought that you will,

00:04:22 --> 00:04:25

overwhelm me with your mercy and give me

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

Jannah. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will say,

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

whatever you thought of me, I'm better than

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

that. And he will say, take him to

00:04:31 --> 00:04:35

Jannah, Khalas. This because he thought well of

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

me that I'm going to,

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

forgive the mistakes that he did because he

00:04:40 --> 00:04:41

was a believer.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

He tried his best but he made mistakes.

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46

We're all, you know, human and we make

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

mistakes all the time. Not because we are

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

bad Muslims

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

but because we are weak human beings. So

00:04:51 --> 00:04:54

we make mistakes. No one is perfect except

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

Muhammad

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

and the prophets.

00:04:57 --> 00:04:58

So

00:04:59 --> 00:04:59

so again,

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

this is the biggest problem we have.

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

Is you are lazy, you are not doing

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

anything, you are always delaying salah or not

00:05:08 --> 00:05:09

praying at all,

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

you don't do sunnah, you don't pray salaw

00:05:11 --> 00:05:12

to sunnah,

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

this is the first step. Then after that

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

you combine salawat all the time, and after

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

some time you are too busy to pray

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

all the salawats, so you're gonna do only

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

2 of them, then eventually you're gonna stop

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

praying at all.

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

So when you pray 2 salawat only, say

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

for example you pray Fashla and and Asr,

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

your urur

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35

delusion will tell you

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37

there are millions of Muslims who don't pray

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

at all, you are better than them. So

00:05:39 --> 00:05:40

this is urur.

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

You do not look at the people who

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45

are less than you in iman, you should

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47

always look up to those who are better

00:05:47 --> 00:05:48

than you.

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

But some people interpreted the wrong way.

00:05:52 --> 00:05:53

Kafi'i this

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

story,

00:05:55 --> 00:05:56

one person,

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59

they always settle for the lowest, they don't

00:05:59 --> 00:06:00

look high.

00:06:01 --> 00:06:02

So this person was traveling

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05

because in his town he couldn't find find

00:06:05 --> 00:06:06

work,

00:06:06 --> 00:06:07

right?

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

So what happened, he was traveling to another

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

place to to look for a job.

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14

So on the way it was hot so

00:06:14 --> 00:06:15

he decided to go inside a cave

00:06:16 --> 00:06:18

and, get some rest. So inside the cave

00:06:18 --> 00:06:19

he saw

00:06:20 --> 00:06:21

a blind

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

bird with a broken leg in the nest.

00:06:24 --> 00:06:27

And he saw another bird bringing food to

00:06:27 --> 00:06:28

that,

00:06:28 --> 00:06:28

blind

00:06:29 --> 00:06:30

bird with a broken leg.

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

So he looked at the 2 birds and

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

he said, this is a sign for me

00:06:35 --> 00:06:36

that I should go back, stay in my

00:06:36 --> 00:06:39

home and Allah will send someone to give

00:06:39 --> 00:06:40

me food.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

Right?

00:06:41 --> 00:06:42

So

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44

he went home and on the way he

00:06:44 --> 00:06:47

passed by a scholar called Hatem al Assam.

00:06:47 --> 00:06:49

He is one of the biggest, scholars. His

00:06:49 --> 00:06:50

name was Hatem al Assam,

00:06:50 --> 00:06:53

He was very wise, very good man. He

00:06:53 --> 00:06:54

told him the story.

00:06:54 --> 00:06:55

So Hadim

00:06:55 --> 00:06:58

said, okay so you saw the 2 birds,

00:06:58 --> 00:06:59

one of them is blind with a broken

00:06:59 --> 00:07:00

leg, disabled.

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

The other one is working and bringing food

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

for this one, and you thought you should

00:07:05 --> 00:07:07

be like the the the one staying in

00:07:07 --> 00:07:08

the cave.

00:07:08 --> 00:07:10

He said this is not the sign that

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is sending to you.

00:07:12 --> 00:07:13

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

wants you to be like the second bird.

00:07:15 --> 00:07:18

The one that works and provides for those

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

who are needy. Why do you want to

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

be like the one with the broken leg?

00:07:22 --> 00:07:23

You should be like the better one of

00:07:23 --> 00:07:26

them. Right? So you shouldn't settle for the

00:07:26 --> 00:07:27

lowest, you should always,

00:07:28 --> 00:07:30

look up to do something good and to

00:07:30 --> 00:07:31

be a good person.

00:07:32 --> 00:07:33

Some people,

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

in the Quran, when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38

speaks about the kuffar,

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43

According to the Quran it says that even

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

the kuffar,

00:07:44 --> 00:07:46

they worship the aslam,

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49

they are not grateful to Allah subhanahu wa

00:07:49 --> 00:07:49

ta'ala,

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

They make fun of the believers, but still

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

they think they will go to Jannah.

00:07:59 --> 00:08:00

That even the kuffar,

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02

they want to go to Jannah. They have

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

the hope that they will go to Jannah.

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06

Empty hopes,

00:08:06 --> 00:08:08

you have to have some qualifications and you

00:08:08 --> 00:08:10

have to do your best to go to

00:08:10 --> 00:08:10

Jannah.

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12

Right? But if you are not doing your

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

best and you think you will be up

00:08:14 --> 00:08:17

there with a siddiqeen, with shawada, with salihin,

00:08:17 --> 00:08:18

you are fooling yourself.

00:08:19 --> 00:08:20

Another thing,

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

some people because of,

00:08:26 --> 00:08:28

this concept of al Ghur,

00:08:29 --> 00:08:30

and they are not doing their best,

00:08:31 --> 00:08:32

and they think that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

will shower them with His mercy for not

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

doing anything,

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

When you tell them, you should get ready

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40

because you may go any time,

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43

they tell you, I'm still young,

00:08:43 --> 00:08:45

my family needs me,

00:08:45 --> 00:08:48

my employer needs me, I'm paying my taxes,

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

I I can't die.

00:08:51 --> 00:08:52

If you think you can't die,

00:08:52 --> 00:08:54

you have to can because this is the

00:08:54 --> 00:08:57

reality of things. Right? There's no such verb

00:08:57 --> 00:08:59

in in English, you have to can, but

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01

I I just made this up. People die

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

all the time just a couple of days

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05

ago as I mentioned in the Khutba,

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08

brother Junaid, Jamshid is, he was very popular

00:09:08 --> 00:09:09

in Pakistan.

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12

He used to be a singer. Allah gave

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14

him a day back in 2004. He became

00:09:14 --> 00:09:17

a day, and the plane crashed and and

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

he died. And he was only, I think

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21

54 years old. And I've seen so many

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23

people die at a very young age because

00:09:23 --> 00:09:27

there is no age for death. Everyone dies,

00:09:27 --> 00:09:28

little kids,

00:09:29 --> 00:09:31

17 years old, 50 years old, 90 years

00:09:31 --> 00:09:34

old, there's no time for for for you

00:09:34 --> 00:09:37

to go. When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala writes

00:09:37 --> 00:09:38

for you to go, you will have to

00:09:38 --> 00:09:39

go. Right?

00:09:40 --> 00:09:40

Oh, but

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

you know if if I die,

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46

the you know, my family will collapse,

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

my work will collapse,

00:09:49 --> 00:09:50

stars and the sun and the moon are

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

going to start falling down from the sky

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

because the the whole universe would be in

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

chaos. It's going to be a disaster for

00:09:56 --> 00:09:57

everything.

00:09:57 --> 00:10:00

Right? Believe me nothing would happen because there

00:10:00 --> 00:10:02

are people in history

00:10:02 --> 00:10:05

who were more influential than you, a a

00:10:05 --> 00:10:06

1000000000 times.

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08

And people thought when they died that is

00:10:08 --> 00:10:10

everything is gonna collapse and fall apart, and

00:10:10 --> 00:10:13

nothing happened. Like when Muhammad salallahu alaihi wasallam

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

died, the sahaba were devastated,

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

then life goes on, life goes on. Because

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

this is the sunnah of this dunya that

00:10:20 --> 00:10:21

everyone will go,

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24

and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told Muhammad

00:10:24 --> 00:10:25

himself in the Quran,

00:10:28 --> 00:10:29

You Muhammad will die,

00:10:30 --> 00:10:33

and everyone else will die, right? No eternity

00:10:33 --> 00:10:35

in this dunya. This life is just a

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

test. You will go and everyone will die

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

and and they will go with you.

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

So forget about the, you know,

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45

stars and the moon and everything is gonna

00:10:45 --> 00:10:48

fall down and your family will collapse and

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

all these things. And your job, I mean

00:10:50 --> 00:10:51

this is the best thing about

00:10:52 --> 00:10:52

about

00:10:53 --> 00:10:54

death that,

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

your employer will be happy. He will be

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

dancing in the street because he will get

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00

a better guy, more qualified. He's gonna put

00:11:00 --> 00:11:03

more more hours and get half of the

00:11:03 --> 00:11:03

pay.

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06

So your employer will wish that you died

00:11:06 --> 00:11:07

10 years ago.

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

So this is not gonna be a problem

00:11:09 --> 00:11:11

for them. Your your your wife, maybe he's

00:11:11 --> 00:11:13

gonna find someone else since you're married,

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

if there are some sisters there, maybe your

00:11:16 --> 00:11:17

husband is gonna get married.

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

Life never stops. Life goes on.

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22

So when it is your time to die,

00:11:22 --> 00:11:23

you will just die.

00:11:24 --> 00:11:25

So don't fall for this trap

00:11:26 --> 00:11:27

of and delusion

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30

thinking that you cannot die, life will be

00:11:30 --> 00:11:33

destroyed because of you, and all that stuff.

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35

Life will go on and, you know, someone

00:11:35 --> 00:11:36

will get,

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

your employer will get someone else and and

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41

your family will be fine. As soon as

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

you die, they will be fighting over your

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

money. They will totally forget about you. So

00:11:46 --> 00:11:48

it's not a big deal for anyone. Right?

00:11:48 --> 00:11:50

Life will go on as always.

00:11:50 --> 00:11:52

So don't fall for this trap of delusion

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56

and this big distraction that you are still

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58

young, you are only 57 or 60 years

00:11:58 --> 00:12:01

old. I say, my dad was 95 years

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

old when he passed away, inshallah, I'm gonna

00:12:03 --> 00:12:06

live till that time and, maybe inshallah 5

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

minutes before I die I'm gonna go for

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

umrah, I'm gonna make tawba, pray in the

00:12:10 --> 00:12:11

Haram and alluv.

00:12:12 --> 00:12:14

You're you're I mean you're fooling yourself

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

because no one knows when this time will

00:12:17 --> 00:12:20

come. You no one knows. Accidents happen all

00:12:20 --> 00:12:23

the time. Heart attacks happen all People die

00:12:23 --> 00:12:24

for no reason, right?

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28

Allah subhanallah. You you never know. So don't

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30

distract be distracted by this,

00:12:31 --> 00:12:33

that you are better than other people, you

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35

don't need to do any more,

00:12:35 --> 00:12:37

or that you're going to live until a

00:12:37 --> 00:12:40

certain age, or you will make dawba before

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42

you die, or you cannot die because a

00:12:42 --> 00:12:43

lot of people need you and so on

00:12:43 --> 00:12:45

and so forth. I'm going to conclude with

00:12:45 --> 00:12:47

this story inshallah in just, 2 minutes.

00:12:50 --> 00:12:51

So the story

00:12:51 --> 00:12:52

of a man

00:12:53 --> 00:12:55

who was walking in the woods, he was

00:12:55 --> 00:12:56

jogging inside the woods

00:12:57 --> 00:12:57

and,

00:12:57 --> 00:12:59

all of a sudden so of course it

00:12:59 --> 00:13:00

was sunny,

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

the birds were singing and very good,

00:13:04 --> 00:13:05

weather in the spring.

00:13:05 --> 00:13:07

So he was walking in this beautiful

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

weather and the scenery and everything

00:13:10 --> 00:13:12

and all of a sudden he saw a

00:13:12 --> 00:13:13

lion

00:13:13 --> 00:13:15

coming towards him. Maybe he was on a

00:13:15 --> 00:13:17

safari in Kenya or something.

00:13:17 --> 00:13:20

So the lion started to run after him

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

and the man was terrified. He said, I'm

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

doomed, I'm going to die.

00:13:24 --> 00:13:27

He saw a whale bit in front of

00:13:27 --> 00:13:29

him so he jumped inside the bit, inside

00:13:29 --> 00:13:31

the well to save himself.

00:13:32 --> 00:13:34

Inside the well there was a rope, so

00:13:34 --> 00:13:36

he was hanging by the rope and the

00:13:36 --> 00:13:37

lion was

00:13:37 --> 00:13:39

looking from up there and the man was

00:13:39 --> 00:13:40

terrified, he was trying to,

00:13:41 --> 00:13:44

go down and down there he found an

00:13:44 --> 00:13:46

anaconda with a big mouth. You know the

00:13:46 --> 00:13:46

anaconda?

00:13:48 --> 00:13:50

We call it the rock python or something,

00:13:50 --> 00:13:52

a big huge snake.

00:13:52 --> 00:13:55

He couldn't go up, he couldn't go down

00:13:55 --> 00:13:56

because the line is up there and the

00:13:56 --> 00:13:59

anaconda is down there. He was hanging by

00:13:59 --> 00:13:59

the rope.

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03

So he said, subhanAllah what I'm going to

00:14:03 --> 00:14:04

do?

00:14:05 --> 00:14:07

So what happened? He saw 2 mice

00:14:08 --> 00:14:09

going up the rope.

00:14:10 --> 00:14:12

He said, it can't get any worse than

00:14:12 --> 00:14:14

this. A lion is up there, and the

00:14:14 --> 00:14:16

anaconda is down there. What else can happen?

00:14:16 --> 00:14:19

So the the 2 mice came up, one

00:14:19 --> 00:14:21

of them was white, one was black, they

00:14:21 --> 00:14:24

went up and they started to eat the

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26

rope. So he's gonna fall inside the mouth

00:14:26 --> 00:14:29

of the snake. Big problem. And he was

00:14:29 --> 00:14:29

terrified.

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

So he wanted to escape death, so what

00:14:32 --> 00:14:33

he did basically he started

00:14:34 --> 00:14:36

to swing from one side to the other,

00:14:36 --> 00:14:38

so he was hitting the wall of the

00:14:38 --> 00:14:40

well this way and he went to the

00:14:40 --> 00:14:41

other

00:14:41 --> 00:14:44

in an effort to to save himself.

00:14:44 --> 00:14:46

While he was doing this, he noticed that

00:14:46 --> 00:14:49

there was some kind of liquid on the

00:14:49 --> 00:14:50

wall of the well.

00:14:50 --> 00:14:53

He tasted it, it turned out to be

00:14:53 --> 00:14:53

honey.

00:14:53 --> 00:14:55

There are wild bees,

00:14:55 --> 00:14:58

they build their hive inside so he tasted

00:14:58 --> 00:15:00

it. It's it was so sweet. So he

00:15:00 --> 00:15:02

forgot about the lion, he forgot about the

00:15:02 --> 00:15:04

snake, he forgot about the mice, and he

00:15:04 --> 00:15:05

started to eat from the honey.

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

He started to eat from the honey to

00:15:08 --> 00:15:11

his fill. He forgot about everything else.

00:15:11 --> 00:15:13

Then he woke up from his dream, it

00:15:13 --> 00:15:15

turned out to be a dream. So what

00:15:15 --> 00:15:17

happened, he went to the Imam, Mawlana,

00:15:18 --> 00:15:20

and he said okay what is the interpretation

00:15:20 --> 00:15:22

of my dream? He said that the jungle

00:15:22 --> 00:15:23

is this dunya,

00:15:24 --> 00:15:26

and the lion is malakulmaut, he's always running

00:15:26 --> 00:15:29

after you, and the well is the grave

00:15:29 --> 00:15:30

with the anaconda,

00:15:31 --> 00:15:34

and the honey is the delusion of this

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

dunya, the sweetness of this dunya. It is

00:15:36 --> 00:15:39

something temporary and it distracts you from

00:15:39 --> 00:15:41

the big picture, the reality of this world.

00:15:42 --> 00:15:44

He said, what about the 2 mice? The

00:15:44 --> 00:15:46

black one and the and the white

00:15:46 --> 00:15:49

mouse. He said the 2 mice are

00:15:49 --> 00:15:50

the day and night.

00:15:51 --> 00:15:54

The more days and nights go by, the

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

closer you get to the end

00:15:56 --> 00:15:58

of the journey that you are on. So

00:15:58 --> 00:16:01

don't be distracted. We ask Allah subhanahu wa

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

ta'ala to protect us from

00:16:04 --> 00:16:06

and to give us a good ending of

00:16:06 --> 00:16:08

our lives and to give us a good

00:16:08 --> 00:16:09

ending of our lives. We ask Allah subhanahu

00:16:09 --> 00:16:11

wa ta'ala to give us sincerity in everything

00:16:11 --> 00:16:12

we say and do.
