Suhaib Webb – Understanding Your Responsibility In This Life

We mentioned that Al Ghazadi said,

this dunya is like an island

and people are on a boat, and the

captain stops at the island and says, hey

man, we're not gonna stay at this island.

It's really awesome. It's a carnival cruise. It's

amazing,

but we're not staying. We gotta go somewhere

else. And he said there'll be 3 types

of people. Those who when they see the

bananas and the mangoes, they could be like,

oh,

snap.

This is all there is, and they're gonna

start losing their minds.

Then there are those people that try to

balance, like, their luggage,

like, what they can bring back on the

boat and what they can't, and some of

them may make it and some of them

might not. And then there's a third group

that's, like, this is not the goal.

Let's just use this island for completing the

task.

And he said those are the auliya and

the arifin of Allah. Those are those who

know the purpose.
