			Imam Abu Hamid Al Ghazari said that Dunia

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

			is like an island,

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05

			and that people have landed there and their

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

			captain said, listen,

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

			There's other places better to go than this,

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

			so don't don't get caught up with the

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

			beauty of it. Don't get caught up by

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

			the glitz of it. They said, therefore, the

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

			groups broke up into 3. The first, they

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

			were enamored by the island. They said, there's

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

			nothing after this. There's nothing that can be

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

			better than this. So they stayed there and

00:00:21 --> 00:00:21

			they were lost.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

			The second, they tried to carry as much

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26

			as they could from the island. Some of

00:00:26 --> 00:00:27

			them made it to the boat and some

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

			of them didn't.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

			The first group, they said, you know what?

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

			The captain is telling the truth.

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

			Let's just get what we need and prepare

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

			for the greater journey,

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

			the greater destination. He said, these are the

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

			people more or less of paradise.
