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.
