The speaker discusses the goal of religion, which is to build a damsque on solid grounds rather than to sacrifice one's life for a better future. The speaker argues that the goal is to establish a damsque on a foundation that does not interfere with one's afterlife, rather that Islam's desire is to have a damsque that is established on a foundation that does not interfere with one's life.

We're expected to sacrifice our dunya for the

00:00:02 --> 00:00:05

din. The purpose for that is to rebuild

00:00:05 --> 00:00:06

the dunya properly.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:08

Why is it that the early Muslims had

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10

to sacrifice so much for their deen, but

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

later Muslims didn't? So the Sahaba, like, lost

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

their homes. It is not that Allah wishes

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

to take away your dunya. It's rather he

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

wishes for it to be built on solid

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

grounds. It's as if saying the foundation of

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

this home is no good, so we have

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

to tear down the whole building to rebuild

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

it better. That's why. So it has nothing

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

to do with the idea that it's so

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

noble to to have no dunya

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

and to suffer. No. That's not the goal

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

of religion. That's not Allah's will for us.

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

Allah's will for us is to have a

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

dunya that is established on the proper foundation,

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

a foundation that does not etch away

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

at your afterlife.
