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
