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.
