Isla Rahmani Raheem Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah
early he was a big mine.
We continue our theme for this Ramadan rejada tonkean Umfeld were
heckling Quran Al Karim nights of empowerment, parables and wisdom
from the Noble Quran.
We taking parables or similes or Proverbs, or wisdom gleaned from
the Glorious Quran in order to gain some ethical insight, to
highlight some noble virtue to illustrate a valuable principle,
or obtain some moral lesson in order insha Allah to enhance our
understanding of Islam, and perchance increase our commitment
to righteousness and to improving ourselves.
Now, after making reference to certain divine Some people tend to
shy away from like standing up for justice or fighting in the cause
of oppression against the oppressor
after me, and the statement is I saw into crochet oh hi reluctant
why Santa Hey boo, che a washer, rude look.
It may be that you dislike something which is good for you.
And it may be that you love something, which is actually bad
for you.
Now this thought provoking statement has tremendous amount of
depth.
It makes us contemplate on the fact that sometimes those things
that we most desire,
some people love to smoke.
And you see always I remember as a child. And even nowadays, you see
ads of people smoking is also a always a ruggedly handsome, strong
man, somewhere in the woods riding a horse taking a puff.
It makes it look cool somewhat.
Not really. Smoking cigarettes, for example, is the voluntary
poisoning of killing oneself. And for example, in America alone
every year, more people die per year from smoking than from
alcohol, accidents, AIDS, guns, and illegal drugs combined. But it
looks cool. And some people love it. You may love it. But it's not
necessarily good for you, as Malcolm X said, sorry for those
who are smokers. He said, a cigarette is a cancer stick with
fire at one end and a full lead the other.
We may love a particular kind of food filled with high carbs and
loaded with sugar and fats and salt. It looks good and tastes
delicious, but maybe tremendously harmful to our health.
Many youth love to speed,
speed with the cause,
choosing to exceedingly brake speed limits,
they may get a fine, but they could also lose their lives. If
they lose control of the car. As often happens, I say unto him, we
shall we shall we will look you may love some things, which are
not really good for you.
On the other hand, we may dislike things that are actually good for
us. Some people dislike to pray.
They don't realize the solace the divine connectivity, the peace of
mind, that could come for the restoration of our health or for
the recovery.
The wise person realizes that whenever the brittleness of the
medication, turns him off from the medication, the reality of the
benefit and the usefulness of the medication makes him take the
medication
and crocheter
who I will look you may dislike something, but in actual fact, it
may be good for you. Either way, it is important for us to evaluate
why we love what we love, and why we dislike what we dislike,
because liking and disliking is by preference. And when you have
preference that means you have choice, you choose to love and you
choose to dislike
and therefore we need to evaluate why we like why we choose because
very often we focus our entire life our health, our earnings or
income on Tuesday particular things because we are in pursuit
or something which we love.
So realize why we prefer what we prefer. We may prefer to drive a
Rolls Royce or a Toyota
that old remains the same. Whether you fly by plane or by jet. Your
destination doesn't change whether you were achieved digit time or
watch Rolex
The time is the same time there's no change. Of course, the quality
of the product is different and we understand that. But what exactly
do we prefer and why?
It's unfortunate that sometimes our preferences are linked to
either competing with friends,
or doing a other people or impressing other people. That is
why so many of us so often buy things we don't truly need. With
money. We don't actually have to impress people who don't. There
are people from whom we were distant before, but now they may
be closer to us. They may have become our friends. And how many
friends are there? Who were friends of ours who are no longer
friends anymore? And that's why
you must heed the advice a gnarly karma Allah wa just said, Habib
Habib, aka who nama Assa ye Hakuna buggy the key yo mama,
what was he the que yo mama I say Hakuna Habiba. Yo Mama. Habib
Habib aka yo mama,
mama, like whom you like with you caution?
Because Sunday, that person may become your opponent will overheat
body the clay yamasa Hakuna Habiba Yama and dislike whom you dislike
with due caution, because someday, they may become your close
friends. Good. The seemingly bad things may seem the way they seem,
but they are not the way they see, the seemingly good and the
seemingly bad are not always what they see. Point number two, just
because you like something or love something does not mean it's good
for you. And if it's not good for you, you just stop loving it or
engaging in it. Just because you love something or like something
does not mean it's good for you. And just because you dislike
something does not mean that it's bad for you. And thirdly, the
admonition of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in
relation to things that we love. He said in a hadith documented in
Shama, Imam Muhammad Rasul Allah says allah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said he mashita in a coma yet, Wahhabi mashita in a coma
Farakka Ramana Maharshi for in Nikka Mutsumi Rasul said, Live as
you wish. But remember, someday you must die. Live as you wish.
Someday you must die. Do whatever you want to do. But remember,
Sunday you will be held accountable and paid back for it
and love whatever you love. But Be rest assured, someday you will be
separated from that which you love. Akula kolyada was tougher
Allah wa salam aleikum wa rahmatullah
