Suhaib Webb – Discovering the True Value Within- A Lesson on Success and Failure

A good lesson for us to think about,

like, as we maybe become successful,

as we move on through life, as we

achieve things that we may have been looking

for. Like,

what really brings me value? What's intrinsically my

value coming from? Or if I failed,

right, I shouldn't allow failure

to dismantle me

from who I am and to control me

and subdue me. No. I have certain values

that make me who I am,

certain things around me that I hold on

to. So it's sort of like a disc

to them because

they were really proud, like in all of

their poetry, they always brag about themselves. Sometimes

they would brag about how the Kaaba is

lucky to have them.

So they they as we say right, they

got it twisted

Right? They sort of twisted it. So Allah

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is saying,

like, if you think about all these journeys

that you make to Yemen and at that

time to Basra and Sham,

you know,

you're protected not because of who you are.

You're protected because of the Lord

who chose this mosque,

this sacred place

to be in your town. So that's why

the next verse says what?

Then they must worship the lord. I don't

like the word lord. It's very it's like

a kind of

a strange 1920s thing going on there, but

the creator, the cherisher,

sustainer, that's the word rub.

Morabi is a farmer

because they they raise and they culture and

they grow. Right? So the rub is the

one that brings us from nothing and provides

us all we have.

Then worship

the creator, sustainer of the house that has

brought you all these accolades and this security.
