Khatira – Obsession with More andMORE

Allah subhanho wa Taala in various places in the Quran talks about dunya he talks about the glamours of this dunya he talks about what happens to those who immersed ourselves into dunya I want to say this, that when I was a kid growing up, I used to attend hot buzz at times and masajid that all I used to hear the throughout the entire football was that the hottie would always, you know, he would paint a picture that every single person who amasses dunya, he's going to the fire Jahannam and growing up as a kid, I felt like that there has to be some explanation to that. And after growing up and studying and so forth, I realized that yes, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada has created dunya around us.

And yes, Allah says, the Prophet SAW Selim, he tells us in the Hadith, that it does not matter how much the son of Adam has, he's always going to want more and more, he's never going to be in a situation where they're going to be content, if they have so much, they're gonna do whatever they can to preserve as much as they have. So at the same time, when you say the Sahaba, or the Allahu anhu, and us you see the stories of arthritis, I thought all the Allahu ion and I'm Rahaman Oh for the Allahu Allah and many other companions who are mashallah very gifted by Allah subhanho wa taala, they were very much given by Allah subhanho wa taala. That is when I began to realize, and that is

when you know, when I would have these conversations with other people, I will have to tell them and remind them, that there is not there's nothing really necessarily wrong with amassing duniya as long as you don't compromise any aspects of your deen and you don't compromise other people's rights. Because what happens is that it is a reality that when we want more and more dunya then we will Cross every single limit to attain that dunya and most people, they will cross the boundaries of halal and haram they will cross the Haram and they will go into the area of haram but that because their goal is to amass as much as they can and some people they will cross the limits of other

people's rights to attain as much as dunya as they as they can. Today inshallah is brief hearted I want to share with you a sutra sutra that you and I, we've heard so many times in prayers, but many times we have not been able to contemplate on the meaning of the sutra and that is total Homosassa. So the houmas is a sutra that actually talks about the consequences of amassing dunya while you are neglecting and you are violating other people's rights. Allah subhanho wa Taala he begins a sutra by saying we learn there's another sutra that also begins with where you learn. This is where you lil Muto 15. We find like that is that those who used to be unfair, those who are unjust, those who used

to cheat in business, Allah subhanho wa Taala says, way dueling with Afifi. In here Allah subhanho wa Taala says, we learn that may the destruction of Allah subhanho wa Taala be upon that person who does what l houmas That he Lumumba, who Messiah is in reference to a person who will who will violate other people's rights behind their back, who will say things behind their back, they will back by about others, they will create rumors about others behind other people's back. And all that they will do is they're always going to try to spread things in the community behind people's backs above them. And then Allah subhanho wa Taala says a Luma czar Lomasa is a person who is constantly

busy insulting others, all that they're doing is they're putting down others. Yesterday in the hotbar we came across an idea where Allah subhanho wa Taala he talks about the community and Allah says lairs, hardcore woman Amina, aside from that we should not make a mockery of each other. But in that Iowa Allah subhanho wa Taala say, he says when I tell me zoo and Fusa comb, do not insult yourselves. Why insult your cells? It will make sense if Allah subhanaw taala says Do not insult others. Allah says do not insult yourself. Why? Because when you insult someone else, they will eventually turn around and insult you too. What you're doing is you're setting that other person up

to insult you and insults and when and usually what happens is when someone retaliates, they just don't retaliate, they always go the they always go beyond the limits. So when you say something about someone, they will retaliate, they will insult you and they may even cross those limits and they may even make it personal. They may even attack your family and so forth to so that's why Allah subhanho wa Taala says Waygu liquidly houmas at Luminesce. So these are two people

Well that Allah Subhan Allah saying that destruction is for them. And then he says, Allah, the Gemma Arman wa Dadda that there are some people who constantly gather gather, and one is gathering. But there's another word in English, which is called hoarding, which is called hoarding. You just want more and more and more, you know, subhanAllah you know, sometimes when you see these kind of like, you know, home TV shows, and they go into people's homes that have been completely abandoned, and they're just tearing down the house. They are literally when you see there are some people who just want more and more and more, and then just gather as much as they can and so forth. Whether they

need it or not, they're just trying to gather as much as they can. Allah subhanaw taala says, I levy Gemma Arman. Now we'll just gather Why does he keep on counting, they keep on counting, they wouldn't keep a tally of what they have. And then Allah subhana wa Taala says, Yes, abou Anna Mala who are Florida, by the way, Marlon is usually in reference to wealth. And all that time, wealth was what gold coins, silver coins, did ALMS dinars and so forth. In this day and age, of course, wealth is wealth. But there is another type of wealth also, there's some of your Alma, they say that could be referred to as wealth. And that is, in this day and age, social media, social media, there are

some people who are so obsessed with social media following, they're so obsessed with creating a brand for themselves. And they're so obsessed and they keep on counting Wallahi you think I'm you think I'm making this up that people who are obsessed on social media, and they have accounts on social media, every single day, when they post something, they will count how many people liked their post, they will count how many people are following them. Literally, there are people who are lit obsessed about this, how many people are following them, how many people liked them, how many people dislike them, and so forth. They these are people who are just literally all they're doing

all day long, is building up their name, building up their brand, and building up their social media platform. And so I was thinking about this, this is also a form of myelin. And then Allah subhanaw taala says, Yes, abou, ma Allahu Allah, that they actually felt that this wealth of theirs, they're gonna live in this in a perpetual state. They thought that they're gonna live in this forever. This is there forever situation and forever state of affairs. And Allah subhanho wa Taala says, that's not the case. So let's go back. Let's go back one second here. When we talk about backbiting, Allah subhanaw taala saying insulting others putting each other down, scorning each other. And then Allah

subhanho talks about dunya what's the connection, I build the connection before I mentioned the connection before sometimes to attain dunya we will put each others down sometimes when your brand is when you're so obsessed with your brand, and your name and how much you have and you want more and more. And you see that someone else can be a threat to you, since someone is a competition to you, you will do whatever you can to put them down you will spread rumors about them you will suffocate other people by your talk and by your speech and you will put others down why and you are backed by others why simply because you want more and more of dunya and that is what we see

happening today. There are there are some people there are organizations at times there are people in their name name brands and so forth, that they will Cross every single limit they can just to amass as much as they can. So for these kinds of people what ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada says, he says yes, and Amanda who acleda Kola, absolutely not they will not live forever. They will not live forever. Allah Yun by then nothing Groupama the young but then never that means to throw something away that has absolutely no value. Like when we throw away trash, it has absolutely no value to us, like a human but then there will be thrown and they have absolutely no value the eyes of Allah

subhanho wa Taala Phil who Tama they will be thrown into the crusher, when you see trash, what do they what do they do with trash, they take all that trash and they crush it right? And it has no value when the when you go to a a waste management plan and so forth. That's what they do, right? They crush all that trash together and they put in they throw it away, and usually to burn it and so forth. What happens is Allah subhanaw is saying that all this all these people, they'll be thrown, and ALLAH SubhanA is not saying that you just placed them because when you play something, you can play something with dignity, right? Something that has value, you could place them in someplace,

ALLAH SubhanA say no, he's gonna throw them as if they have no value in the crusher. Only those things go in the crusher, which have no value. And then Allah subhanho wa Taala he says, What are the raw Kamal automa Do you know what

Duck crusher is and this is Allah subhanho wa Taala his way of addressing and communicating with the place and then he says nah law Hill more cada that crusher is also known as the fire of Allah subhanho wa Taala that fire will not just only burn, but it will crush everything that comes inside the fire Jahannam will be crushed someday. They say that this crushed is a metaphorical meaning me that that their Eagles will be crushed in this in the fire Dynam in this dunya they used to walk around flaunt their egos always go in walk behind their egos in the fire to handle when they're thrown into the fire jahannam. First of all, Allah Subhanallah has no value for these kinds of

people. But number two is they will be crushed the way they used to use their egos to crush other people, the way they used to use their tongues to crush other people. And then Allah subhanho wa Taala he says a lengthy follow through either that this fire of Jahannam will add on one and it will crush them from the top. But then this fire Johanna will also creep and it will crawl into their bodies and it will make their way to their hearts if either the word for there is Paul and Paul is of course the heart flad is also known as the heart but for us is that part of the heart which feels the most amount of pain. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says that this fire will creep into the into

their bodies will go into their bodies and go straight in attack the heart of this person. And then Allah subhanho wa Taala says in her I lay him sada ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala is telling us imagine a situation where there is a place and there's so many people there, and people are trying to call upon each other. They're trying to use each other as a as a tool or as a means to move forward and to move up and so forth. Because Allah subhanaw is saying that there is a door and this door or this door or gate and so forth, is there but Allah subhanaw taala saying the ads are trying to come out of the fire, Johanna, this door or this gate will be closed upon them in the heart or they him

Masada. So they are inside. And they're trying to move and they're trying to grab on each other and trying to call upon each other trying to get out Allah subhanaw taala saying in the honey him sada Allah subhanaw taala will shut the door on them. And what this also implies is that when you are stuck in one place, because there's going to be so many people in this place that you will not be you will not have any space to wiggle around. You know, one is that when you are in a difficult situation, usually people they try to move around, like if you see someone who's who's caught on fire, they just don't stand there. What do they do, they get on the floor, they roll over on the

floor, they tried to put out that fire as much as they can write, while they're going through that process and they're putting the fire out, it does provide some kind of relief that they're putting the fire out. But imagine you're on fire. And all that you can do is just stand and you can do anything else. You can't move a single limb and so forth. Now think about you have a situation where there are so many so many people and that entire place is lit up in fire with fire. And now you're you cannot even move because there's so many people around you is as if Allah subhanho wa Taala is creating imagery here, that there's not going to be only Jahannam you can move around and bring some

kind of relief yourself, you're going to be stuck in that place, you cannot move out of that place. And then Allah subhanho wa Taala says Fiamma de madera that is a place where there's going to be pillars, pillars are going to hold up this entire place. And suddenly Alma they say that they will try to use these pillars to gain or to move forward and try to get out. But even these pillars are going to be so hot that as they try to try to climb and try to hold on to the pillars of trying to come out, even the pillars will fall upon them, and it will crush them too. So Subhanallah this is, you know, sunnah that we have heard so many times, but the point is this, there is nothing wrong in

amassing dunya as long as we don't violate our rights with Allah subhanho wa Taala as long as we don't cross the limits of halal or haram as long as we don't do something that is displeasing to Allah subhanho wa Taala as long as we don't violate other people's rights and so forth, but at the same time, someone may say that, you know, isn't this too graphic? Isn't this too harsh when Allah subhanho wa taala. But Allah subhanho wa Taala is usually Of course he is about full rein, but Allah subhanho wa Taala is so fair, and he's been so transparent with us that he's telling us that don't do these kinds of things. If you know the punishment and

If I know the punishment of something here, I won't do it. What is usually the thing that is stopping people from committing crimes here, they don't want to go to jail. They usually know what happens in jail and so forth. They know what happens in prisons and so forth. Sometimes we are afraid of being fined, fined 1000s of dollars. Why? Because we have the value of money, we love our wealth. Likewise, Allah subhanaw taala is saying, I'm going to create such a graphic scene about the day of judgment and about Jahannam so that it creates inner fear in you that you don't do this. And you should not even go close to this yet. We're listening to these kinds of things, yet we keep on

going towards them. That's not Allah subhanho wa Taala his fault, that's our fault. We are the ones who need to blame ourselves if we fall into this kind of trap. So ask Allah subhanho wa Taala first of all is to clean our hearts. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us feel among those who purify themselves in this dunya We ask Allah subhana wa to raise us amongst those who will be the people of Jana I mean bla bla and I mean what exactly Mala salaam Aleykum on to law he will be
