Shadee Elmasry – Dunya In Your Hand Not Your Heart

lowering the gaze from the dunya. Nothing more than a unique

behavior as well. John minhang directs not thine eyes willfully

what We have bestowed upon them.

So let's move on to Allah in all these concepts that we're talking

about have to do with the aspect of the soul worth making much

thicker, following the path of Allah subhanaw taala.

abstaining from love of the dunya

because the scholars mentioned that the concept of being a person

who is considered to be what they say, in Arabic as a zoo had

someone who practices

the aspect of abstaining from worldly from worldly things. It's

not that they don't have worldly things. Because there's a reality

to that, for example, everyone needs to have clothing, everyone

needs to have housing, everyone needs to have food. And all these

things can be considered things that are part of the dunya. But

the way that Imam Al Ghazali Rahim Allah Allah had displayed the

dunya to us, he compared the dunya he said that the dunya is

everything that is between the heavens and earth, everything only

che Baneasa watever everything as between the heavens and the earth,

that take us away or distract us from Allah subhanaw taala that is

the dunya

so anything that we're using as a means in order to worship Allah

subhanaw taala, then that is not necessarily considered to be the

dunya

so people ask, you know, how do I you know, practice as you know, as

abstinence from the dunya and things of that nature, the way

that you do this is that you only take from the dunya that what you

need to worship Allah subhanaw taala

and that you don't have a love for the dunya in your heart, because

some people can be who had or consider themselves to be so hard

or tried to be so had meaning to try to abstain, but they still

have a love for the dunya and that's even worse than a person

who has a lot of the dunya but doesn't have a love for it.

So it's worse to not have belong in love and lust after it than it

is to actually have it but not have a love for it. And this is

the example that we see for example, the likes of automatic

fan or the great example of madmen

they say well I've got her and but I don't need to come into Medina.

That's the Asia what really the haha it's related about Aisha Radi

Allahu anha. The one time she was in her her home in Medina, this

was and she felt the ground start to shake. And she didn't know what

was going on. So she asked someone like, you know, what, what is

that? What is going on? Why is the ground shaking? And the person

told her that oh, the caravan of

alphas come into Medina is arriving in the city.

And that's just to say that Abdul Rahman

met him and out of his caravan has so many camels and so much so much

belong his audits that it made the ground shake.

However, I'm not mad I mean, I was a person who would you would never

consider to be a person of the dunya.

So again, having the dunya in your hand, but not having it in your

heart.
