			And so dunya is not what people
imagined it to be my career, my
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			degree, my wealth, that's not
don't dunya is khulumani usually
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:12
			rolled up the Arabic is everything
that business you from Allah. So
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			if your action is for the sake of
Allah,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:20
			if your career you're seeking it,
alright, to fulfill a file, which
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			is some whatever your job is,
maybe it's a funky file. And then
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:27
			there are other ways to make your
intention sound. And of course, we
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			know how to test whether or not
our intention is actually true, or
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:35
			if it's a lie. And the way to test
it is to compare and to look, are
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			we leaving off the fora that Allah
gave us
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			in order to do this? Or are we
actually doing anything haram to
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			do it?
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			You can't remove dunya from your
heart just like that. We said you
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			have to displace it with what are
you going to displace it? We
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			displace it with the product that
the MBAs have brought down and
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
			they are here to channel the note
of Allah azza wa jal, and we put
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			in our hearts in the note of Allah
prophesy, centum talked about it.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			And he said, the sign of it is
that you want to leave you forget
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			about dunya you forget about the
thing that distracts you from
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			Allah. Literally, he said, the
truth of it is not that you
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:14
			intentionally leave something off
Nope, you're so busy enjoying his
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:18
			vicar that you actually forgot
about the dunya didn't even cross
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			my mind. Something I forgot about
it. And you get more interested in
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			matters of the afterlife, and you
actually start to prepare yourself
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			for death. You start thinking
about okay, how do I want to die?
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:31
			Do I really want to die with this
feud? Do I really want to die with
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			this sin? But the point is, we
displace dunya
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			by the gorilla, love of the
gorilla, and that's what this book
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			is about.
