			Isla Rahmani Raheem Alhamdulillah
wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			early he was a big mine.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:13
			We continue our theme for this
Ramadan rejada tonkean Umfeld were
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:19
			heckling Quran Al Karim nights of
empowerment, parables and wisdom
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			from the Noble Quran.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:27
			We taking parables or similes or
Proverbs, or wisdom gleaned from
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:33
			the Glorious Quran in order to
gain some ethical insight, to
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:37
			highlight some noble virtue to
illustrate a valuable principle,
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:43
			or obtain some moral lesson in
order insha Allah to enhance our
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			understanding of Islam, and
perchance increase our commitment
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			to righteousness and to improving
ourselves.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
			Now, after making reference to
certain divine Some people tend to
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:03
			shy away from like standing up for
justice or fighting in the cause
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			of oppression against the
oppressor
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:14
			after me, and the statement is I
saw into crochet oh hi reluctant
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			why Santa Hey boo, che a washer,
rude look.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			It may be that you dislike
something which is good for you.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:27
			And it may be that you love
something, which is actually bad
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:27
			for you.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			Now this thought provoking
statement has tremendous amount of
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			depth.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:40
			It makes us contemplate on the
fact that sometimes those things
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			that we most desire,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			some people love to smoke.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:50
			And you see always I remember as a
child. And even nowadays, you see
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			ads of people smoking is also a
always a ruggedly handsome, strong
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58
			man, somewhere in the woods riding
a horse taking a puff.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			It makes it look cool somewhat.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:08
			Not really. Smoking cigarettes,
for example, is the voluntary
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:13
			poisoning of killing oneself. And
for example, in America alone
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:17
			every year, more people die per
year from smoking than from
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:24
			alcohol, accidents, AIDS, guns,
and illegal drugs combined. But it
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:28
			looks cool. And some people love
it. You may love it. But it's not
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:32
			necessarily good for you, as
Malcolm X said, sorry for those
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:37
			who are smokers. He said, a
cigarette is a cancer stick with
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			fire at one end and a full lead
the other.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:45
			We may love a particular kind of
food filled with high carbs and
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:50
			loaded with sugar and fats and
salt. It looks good and tastes
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:54
			delicious, but maybe tremendously
harmful to our health.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			Many youth love to speed,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			speed with the cause,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			choosing to exceedingly brake
speed limits,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			they may get a fine, but they
could also lose their lives. If
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:15
			they lose control of the car. As
often happens, I say unto him, we
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:20
			shall we shall we will look you
may love some things, which are
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			not really good for you.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:26
			On the other hand, we may dislike
things that are actually good for
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			us. Some people dislike to pray.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:37
			They don't realize the solace the
divine connectivity, the peace of
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			mind, that could come for the
restoration of our health or for
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			the recovery.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:48
			The wise person realizes that
whenever the brittleness of the
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:53
			medication, turns him off from the
medication, the reality of the
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			benefit and the usefulness of the
medication makes him take the
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			medication
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			and crocheter
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:07
			who I will look you may dislike
something, but in actual fact, it
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:12
			may be good for you. Either way,
it is important for us to evaluate
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:16
			why we love what we love, and why
we dislike what we dislike,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			because liking and disliking is by
preference. And when you have
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			preference that means you have
choice, you choose to love and you
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			choose to dislike
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:33
			and therefore we need to evaluate
why we like why we choose because
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			very often we focus our entire
life our health, our earnings or
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:40
			income on Tuesday particular
things because we are in pursuit
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			or something which we love.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:47
			So realize why we prefer what we
prefer. We may prefer to drive a
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			Rolls Royce or a Toyota
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:54
			that old remains the same. Whether
you fly by plane or by jet. Your
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:58
			destination doesn't change whether
you were achieved digit time or
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			watch Rolex
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			The time is the same time there's
no change. Of course, the quality
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			of the product is different and we
understand that. But what exactly
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			do we prefer and why?
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:16
			It's unfortunate that sometimes
our preferences are linked to
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			either competing with friends,
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:24
			or doing a other people or
impressing other people. That is
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:30
			why so many of us so often buy
things we don't truly need. With
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:34
			money. We don't actually have to
impress people who don't. There
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			are people from whom we were
distant before, but now they may
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:41
			be closer to us. They may have
become our friends. And how many
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:45
			friends are there? Who were
friends of ours who are no longer
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			friends anymore? And that's why
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			you must heed the advice a gnarly
karma Allah wa just said, Habib
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:56
			Habib, aka who nama Assa ye Hakuna
buggy the key yo mama,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:03
			what was he the que yo mama I say
Hakuna Habiba. Yo Mama. Habib
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			Habib aka yo mama,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			mama, like whom you like with you
caution?
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:13
			Because Sunday, that person may
become your opponent will overheat
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:18
			body the clay yamasa Hakuna Habiba
Yama and dislike whom you dislike
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			with due caution, because someday,
they may become your close
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:26
			friends. Good. The seemingly bad
things may seem the way they seem,
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:30
			but they are not the way they see,
the seemingly good and the
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:36
			seemingly bad are not always what
they see. Point number two, just
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:40
			because you like something or love
something does not mean it's good
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:44
			for you. And if it's not good for
you, you just stop loving it or
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:48
			engaging in it. Just because you
love something or like something
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			does not mean it's good for you.
And just because you dislike
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:57
			something does not mean that it's
bad for you. And thirdly, the
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			admonition of the Prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:05
			relation to things that we love.
He said in a hadith documented in
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			Shama, Imam Muhammad Rasul Allah
says allah sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:13
			sallam said he mashita in a coma
yet, Wahhabi mashita in a coma
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:19
			Farakka Ramana Maharshi for in
Nikka Mutsumi Rasul said, Live as
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:25
			you wish. But remember, someday
you must die. Live as you wish.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:29
			Someday you must die. Do whatever
you want to do. But remember,
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:33
			Sunday you will be held
accountable and paid back for it
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:39
			and love whatever you love. But Be
rest assured, someday you will be
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42
			separated from that which you
love. Akula kolyada was tougher
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			Allah wa salam aleikum wa
rahmatullah
