00:00:00 --> 00:00:05 
			Oh, that's a great question. How
does a person know if a material
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08 
			gift that they've been given is
good for them? Or is bad for them?
00:00:09 --> 00:00:13 
			Right? The answer is whether you
receive pain or comfort.
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18 
			That's objective, I received
something pleasurable, or I
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21 
			receive something painful, like
getting fired painful news. You
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25 
			know if it's good or bad only
afterwards, if it causes you to
00:00:25 --> 00:00:29 
			turn to Allah than it was good for
you, if it causes you to turn back
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31 
			from Allah away from Allah than is
bad for you. So ultimately, who is
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34 
			the decider of what's if it was
good or bad? Ultimately, you're
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38 
			the decider this religion elevates
freewill and intellect and human
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41 
			willpower more than any other
religion. Yeah.
