Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim
I number 123 other medicine I was told by Allah subhanaw taala, that in the dunya when he Daya comes, whoever follows the guidance, then such a person will not go astray. And he will not even suffer from misery.
He will live a life of contentment, a life that is full of satisfaction. Even if he goes through difficulties, he will be at peace.
I have seen the lives of so many companions of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, even the Prophet sallallahu Sallam himself, that they suffered so much loss sometimes that their family members, their own children, their own brothers, their own spouses died. But still we see that they were so content. It did not make them depressed people.
Generally when people go through difficulties, they become depressed. But we see that those who follow the guidance that Allah has given them, they don't become depressed. While I
while I Ashkar he does not suffer from misery, he does not become miserable, he may become sad, but he will eventually get out of it. And the Quran, it will give him satisfaction.
Like we see that the Sahaba they lost their children, infants, they lost their husbands, so many women, they lost their sons. And every time they were told you have lost this son of yours. What did they ask about? is a prophet sort of answer okay? And they were told you're this son has died is a prophet still okay? That's what they were concerned about.
So the one who follows the guidance of Allah lay on the loo when I asked.
And on the other hand, woman are all dark Zicree and the one who turns away from my remembrance, the one who turns away from the vicar of Allah. What is the Kabbalah refer to remembering Allah general liquid. And it also includes the vicar that Allah has revealed, meaning the Quran, the Hadith via the scripture that Allah has revealed. So whoever turns away from that, meaning he does not believe in it, he does not observe it, he does not give attention to it. He does not live by it. Then what will happen for inother? Who then indeed for him, he will have more Eaten Alive, that is one guy that is depressed,
he will live a life of depression.
Who, the one who turns away from the vicar of Allah

a life that is full of straitened circumstances, depressing situations. It is that bunk is the Akasha deed. extreme tiredness, extreme constriction,
that a person is not happy. His life is full of worries, it's full of concerns. Constantly, His heart is restless, he is never happy. So such a person will live a life of unhappiness, a life of depression.
We're not sure who and we will gather him meaning we will bring him to the hash of Yama, Yama, D on the Day of Resurrection, how Arma as blind he will be brought on the Day of Judgment, as a person who cannot see, he will be blind unable to see.
What do we see in this ayah
that when a person remembers Allah, when a person follows the the code that Allah has revealed, then what happens? His heart expands, His heart is at peace and he also becomes content. insalata rod is number 28. We learn enter the victory laggy Delta inner loop, it's with the vicar of Allah, that the hearts find peace. So if a person does have a kind of Allah, whether it's with the Quran or it's a general they can he will be content.
And if a person turns away from the Quran, then he will not have tranquility. He will not have peace, he will not have ease. Rather his chest will be constrained. He will constantly be in difficulty due to
His misguidance
and it's possible that a person is living very comfortably, outwardly. Outwardly he seems to be very happy, he seems to have everything that he wants, but inwardly, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, he is distressed. He is unhappy, because Allah subhanaw taala says over here for inilah humare shumba. In total Caf is number 57. We learned woman lm woman, man look yellow big beef out of the line here when scmm or de Matilda and who is more unjust than the one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord, but he turns away from them and he forgets what his hands have put forth.
So, such a person is extremely unjust, who, the one who turns away from the vicar of Allah
and such a person is being unjust towards himself,
because he is going to live a life of misery.
And on the other hand, the person who remembers Allah, He will be blessed with a good life.
insalata natural is 97 we have learned earlier that men are made of sila Hammond Decker in a one sir wahoo a moment, fella nahi Anna who hire them than
that such a person will live a good life? Who the one who believes and also does righteous deeds in solitude is number three, we learn what any self he wrote a book on Soma to LA secret forgiveness from your Lord and turn in repentance to him. What will happen? What's the benefit of following the guidance that Allah has given you metathetical mata and Hassan either ajilon Muslim he will let you enjoy a good provision for a specified term meaning you will live a good life

Can we look for owner B is
that the money Israel is suffered from humiliation, they suffered from disgrace, they earned the anger of Allah and poverty and dependence were struck upon them. Why? Because they used to deny the versus of a loss.
So the one who turns away from Allah from the commands of Allah, then he will have all kinds of hardships in this life.
You will suffer from various types of hardships in this life. And on the other hand, a person who follows the the code of Allah, a person who does that they could have Allah, then he will live a good life.
In certain Marita is 66 again we learn well unknown, a camuto Raja will engineer one of our own zerah la him that would be him, aka lumen foty him woman daddy of Julian,
that if the Bani Israel if they had upheld the laws of the Torah and the Injeel, and what was revealed to them from their Lord, then they would have consumed provision from above them, and also from below them,
meaning this life would become very enjoyable for them. This would be made abundant for them.
They would have all the blessings, if only they had abided by the commands that are lost.
And a great example of this are the people of Arabia.
Before Islam, what were they there were nothing who knew them. No one knew them.
who felt threatened from them. No one ever felt threatened from them. If you see the people of Rome and the people of Persia, they were constantly fighting amongst themselves. Whereas Arabia was right by them. They never bothered to come to Arabia because the Arabs were nothing. They had nothing with them. They had no art. They had no civilization. Whereas if you look at it, the Egyptians, the Romans, right, the Persians, they had such great civilizations, in terms of dunia. That's such great architecture. That's such great art. But what did the Arabs have? Did they build any great monuments? No. Did they have a lot of art? No. All they had was language. That's all they had
nothing else with that. But then when guidance came to them, and when they accepted it and followed it. Look how they became the rulers of Rome and Persia,
that they conquered those areas and they became dominant.
So this is very true that the person who believes and accepts and follows the decor of Allah, He will live a good life
and a person who turns away he will live a miserable life.
Normally, what do people fear that if they come close to the, if they begin to do the Kabbalah, if they learn the Quran, if they begin to follow the Quran, their life will become difficult
difficulties a part of life anyway.
But the one who suffers difficulty in the way of Allah, at least he gets your award isn't it's a, an A person who suffers difficulty, otherwise is he getting reward for the difficulty that he suffers from? No.
Because he is not suffering that in the way of love for the sake of Allah. And Allah has also promised that with difficulty there is ease and very soon Allah will remove it
into the Trojan Jin is 16 we learn what Alo is the former Allah Toria karate, let us play now whom.
And Allah revealed that if they had remained straight on the way, if they had remained steadfast on the right way, we would have given them abundant provision, that very soon, difficulty is removed, and risk is given in abundance.
So to summarize, what do we learn in both of these is
that the one who follows the guidance, he will live a good life and the one who does not follow the guidance who turns away from the vicar of Allah, He will live a miserable life.
And remember, that this good life is of two types.
It is tangible as well as intangible,
tangible in the sense that a person will have abundance of wealth, abundance of blessings, and not necessarily abundance in the material sense but Baraka and blessings, that all of his needs are fulfilled,
that he has everything that he needs. He has plenty
new Hardison himself to his people. For Alta stop Florida come in who can have a fairer UC Santa alayka middle? William data can be unwell in Weber, Nina, wager unwelcome genetic wager unwelcome and * I number 10. To 12 that new Hardison, I'm sad to them insert new as forgiveness of your Lord indeed he is ever a Perpetual Forgiver He will send rain from the sky upon you in showers. When when you turn in forgiveness,
and He will give you increase in wealth and children and he will provide you gardens and provide for your rivers. When if you turn to Allah.
So the one who turns to Allah, Allah will increase the risk for him
in the tangible sense.
And secondly, this also includes prosperity in the intangible sense. And what does that mean? The contentment of the heart,
inner satisfaction, inner peace, inner happiness,
that no matter what a person is going through, even if it's the greatest of difficulties and trials, at heart, he's at peace. At heart he is at peace. Like we see that the prophets are a lot of the companions of the Prophet SAW a lot as they went through so many difficulties are suffering from hunger. They suffered from physical injuries. They suffered from loneliness. They suffered from their family and friends turning into their enemies. They suffered from being evicted out of their houses. But did they become depressed? Did they become unhappy, sad people? No.
They had contentment of the heart. They had courage, they had resilience. All of that was why because they follow the guidance that Allah had given them.
So what does it show to us that when a person does or they can have Allah, Allah will give him peace. When a person will study the Quran, when a person will follow the Quran, Allah will give him peace. And a person who turns away from the Quran, his peace will be taken away.
He will live a life of sadness. And just as the prosperity for the one who turns to the Quran is of two types, tangible and intangible. Similarly, when a person turns away from the Quran, the misery that he suffers from is also of two types, internal and external, tangible and intangible. So what will be the tangible construction,
that first of all constriction in wealth, that his prosperity turns into hardship? Just as what happened to fit?
What did fit around not have? He had everything of dystonia.
He had money, he had servants. He had worldly success. He had a great civilization. He had power he had authority and people who loved him who followed him who respected him. He had everything of this dunya every single thing
but when he turned away from the vicar of Allah, what happened
everything was taken away. He hadn't
Nothing left.
What happened with Cartoon Cartoon had so much wealth. But when he turned away from that they could have a lot What happened? The Earth swallowed him
all his wealth was gone.
What do we learn about the people of Sabah inshallah, we will earnings whatever, that they have abundance of wealth, they had gardens that produced fruit, they had everything that they needed. But all of that was taken away from them when they were ungrateful
when they turned away from the vicar of Allah.
So this is something true
that when a person turns away from the dhikr of Allah, He will suffer from loss,
physical loss.
And it's not just physical loss, it's also intangible distress, and suffering,
the constriction of the heart,
that even if a person appears to be in the luxuries of this world outwardly, he wears whatever he wants, he buys whatever he wants, he eats whatever he wants, he lives wherever he wants to travel to wherever he wants. But in the heart, he does not have any peace. He does not have any peace. So many people who may be very successful in worldly terms, if you see them, they're on drugs, so that they can stay sane.
So that they can be normal in their behavior with other people. So that they don't harm themselves, they don't injure themselves.
People who may appear to have a very good public image, people die to be like them, they aspire to be like them. But internally, they're suffering from sadness and depression.
You may have heard about so many instances where people are successful in worldly terms, but inside, they are dying, literally, they're dying.
Recently, somebody was telling me about how there was this girl, no idea about what her name is, she was very popular singer. And she also became a very popular celebrity very quickly, very young. But she began physically abusing herself, she would cut herself. And once she got herself and that got was, it was obviously one of the pictures that was taken over and everybody came to know that she was abusing herself physically. And she was sent into rehab. And then finally she was over.
But we see that people who may have everything outwardly, they have the best cars, the best houses all the money, but inside they have no peace. They have no satisfaction.
You may have heard about people like Mother Teresa even who have done so much to help other people, but they struggled with their feet.
There's a huge paper a very long paper that has recently been released about Mother Teresa but how she even doubted her feet, how she had no inner peace, how she was in darkness inside. And she struggled in on the outward she showed a completely different appearance. But inside she was suffering from darkness.
And this is very true. The one who turns away from the vicar of Allah on the outward he may appear to be very happy, but if you start talking to them, they will break down.
If you start talking to them, they will tell you about how terribly they feel from inside.
So the one who turns away from the decor of Allah in Allahumma. banka, banka
and even if in the dunya, they say no, we're happy we have everything that appear to be extremely happy people. Eventually what's going to happen, they are going to be disgraced in the dunya they are going to be disgraced if not in Indonesia, in the hereafter at least.
And before the hereafter in the grave.
Some scholars have said for in Allahu marisha convaincre it refers to a tight, constricted life in the grave.
The Prophet sallallahu Sallam said, when the dead or one of you is buried, then to dark and Blue Angels will come to him.
One is called moon club and the other is called Nikita and they will ask him, what did you say about this man meaning Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam and the person will reply, what he used to say that he is a law Servant and Messenger. I bear witness that there is no true deity except Allah. And that Muhammad said about us Adam is a servant and Messenger. They will say we know that you used to say that and his grave will be made larger for him. It will expand for him
to 74 arm's length by 74 arm's length and will be filled with the light frame.
So the person who believes he will have a good life not just in this dunya but also in the grave that his grave will be expanded it will be full of light.
You know sometimes some people they cannot live in basements. Why? Because there is no natural light.
It's
Very difficult, you go down, the doors are closed, the windows are very small. And even with those small windows, at least there's some light. And if you have big windows in the basement, then it doesn't even feel like a basement.
And if you think about it, a basement is typically how deep seven to 10 feet, maybe 12 feet, and a grave how the present very similar.
So think about a basement that has very small windows that has no light, how difficult it is to live there.
And think about a basement that is filled with light that is spacious, that is huge.
So a person who believes his life in this dunya will be good and his time in the grave will also be good.
And on the other hand,
the person who does not believe the person who is a hypocrite, what will happen to him, that when he will be asked the same question he will say I do not know. I heard people say something. So I used to repeat what they were saying. And the angels will say we know what you're used to say.
And the earth will be commanded, come closer all around him. And it will come closer to him until his ribs cross each other.
It will be sold and it will be so tight that his ribs will cross each other and he will remain in the storm and until Allah resurrects impermissibly
so for inilah humare shirt on Blanca in this dunya physically, mentally, emotionally, and in the grave also, he will live in a very tight place in that punishment.
And we learned that the grave squeezes everyone at least once.
The Prophet sallallahu Sallam said that this person meaning Saudi even more, for whom the throne of Allah was shaken. And there were open for him the doors of heaven and 70,000 angels participated in his funeral prayer
is great grave was compressed. And later on, it was expanded for him
to for every single person, the grave is going to compress it is going to get tight. But for the one who believes in Allah, the One who followed the guidance that Allah sent for him, the grave will be expanded.
Just as when you go to a tight place, initially, it feels very tight, very difficult for you to stay there. But eventually, it feels roomy as you fill it up with light, right? As there's life over there, as there's people over there, there is company over there. It feels very spacious.
But if you're alone, no matter how big the places, if you're in a dark place, then what happens it stays small for you. It stays tight for you.
So the one who turns away from the secret of Allah, He will live a life of misery. And the time in the grave will be full of torture. And in the hereafter also, what's the punishment when i shuru yamapi Amati Arma
because a person's spiritual state in this life is going to be his physical state in the hereafter.
So if a person is living a life of blindness towards the book of Allah, He will be raised physically blind on that day.
In total Islam is 97 we learn when I show homeo mal piano to Allah, would you hear him? omean workman was awesome.
And this person who will be raised blind, he will say Allah Robbie Lima hotshot, Tony Arma Oh my Lord, why have you raised me blind? What are the controversies? While I was one scene, meaning what did I do? My firewall to what did I do that raised me blind today, what I could actually see in the dunya it will be said Allah, gallica. Thus, at that guy AtuNa, Our Ayat came to you, just as you have been raised blind today. Similarly, Our Ayat came to you in the dunya. But what did you do? fantasy that you forgot the ayah
necesita how you forgot the ayah see the consequences of forgetfulness, or forgetting the commands of Allah, forgetting the Ayat of Allah
necesita you disregarded them. You neglected them. You turned away from them. You didn't put in the effort to remember them.
You didn't put in the effort to remember them.
Fantasy the worker that he can do matanza and thus today you will be forgotten.
And some scholars they have said that this also shows to us that a person who memorizes the Quran and then you forget
He memorizes the Quran and then he forgets it. On that day, he will be raised blind.
Because at that guy AtuNa, you memorize our ayah, but then you forgot them.
A person might say, I can't remember everything. But did you try to remember them?
What did you do to make sure that you remember them?
What did we learn that the one who follows the guidance for liability will is the one who tries to put an effort to stay connected with the Quran, he will not make a mistake, he will not forget, he will not suffer from difficulty. But a person who does not even try to remember then what's going to happen. Obviously, he's going to forget.
And many times it happens that people study the Quran, they learn the Quran, they learn the meanings, the word to word, they perhaps memorize parts of the ayat as well, parts of the sutra as well. But because they don't continue reading, they don't continue studying. Naturally, what happens? They forget
who is to blame themselves. Because it's not that they're forgetting because of the weakness of the mind. They're forgetting because they're not trying to remember, they're not putting in the effort to remember.
So it's very, very important for us, that once we have memorize the whole on whether it is a part of it, a surah a just a portion, some ayat, or we have understood the Quran, then we must put in the effort to retain it to remember it Do not forget it.
And how will that be done? When a person remains constantly connected with the Quran?
That when he recites the Quran regularly in his Salah
because if in your site you read just a few Sutras, despite the fact that you know some more I add, and obviously the ayah that you had memorized, but you don't read you're going to forget them. You know, many times people come to me asking about you know, they want to memorize the Quran, I always ask them, Why do you want to bend my salon? What's the objective of memorization?
Is it just so that you can be called a half is? Is it just so that you can tell yourself that yes, I've memorized these many Jews of the Quran.
The purpose of memorization is to recite the Quran without looking at them. And when do you do that? In Salah.
So if a person is memorizing the Quran, but he's not reciting in his Salah, what's going to happen, he will forget, the best way of remembering something is to keep repeating it to keep revising it.
Similarly, once you study the Quran, after this course, what are you going to do to make sure you don't forget what you have learned? Because if you forget it, you will forget to act upon it. You will forget what the ad said.
What will you do?
Make a plan from now. Make a plan from now.
Just as many of you are planning from now, that after this course, I'm going to go back to school and I'm going to go to college and when I go to work, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that. Yes, that's important. But at the same time, it's also very important that you plan from now what you're going to do to remember what you have learned.
Because if you forget it, then it's extremely dangerous. extremely dangerous. Look at the consequences that are mentioned over here.
That such a person will be raised a blind
he will say What did I do? Why am I blind today? Allah subhanaw taala will take alika attacca tuna fantasy to her Waka danika yo matanza. You forgot my ayat, I'm going to forget you today.
I'm going to forget you today.
In Serato Allah I have 51 we learn alladhina Tahoe Dena home that one will or even will elect to will hire to dounia folio woman and cell home commander Sudhakar iomega mhada. One icon will be it nyiregyhaza all those people who took their religion as distraction and amusement when it comes to Deen all they want is just fun and play and whom the worldly life has diluted. They have forgotten that there's accountability in the hereafter. So today, we will forget them just as they forgot the meeting of this day of theirs, and for having rejected our verses.
And if you think about it, when you forget someone when you forget someone's name, when do you forget, you know the name of a place the name of the book The name of something, when?
When it's not important to you anymore?
When it's not important to you anymore. That is a reason behind forgetfulness. So the one who turns away from the Kabbalah
he will be blind on the Day of Judgment. Why? Because he learned the ayat he knew what the Quran was
But he was oblivious to it. He didn't pay attention to it.
He didn't give any importance to it. And as a result, he will also be forgotten.
recitation.
Amen.
Sometimes it's difficult. If you've memorized
that, how do you keep revising the
set a schedule for yourself, for instance, if you've memorized the 30 pages, okay? Make it a point that, for example, in budget, you read the first two soldiers in the first paragraph,
the plan will be longer as well. And similarly, you will be able to revise what you have learned.
And then in
you know, recite the following source. And this way, you know, within two days, within three days, however long it takes you complete the recitation of the intelligence from never to unless.
And similarly, if you memorize parts of the Quran, that have almost half in which you have marked what you've memorized, so that every now and then you can see okay, remember is these if it's been so long, I haven't recited them, so that you can recite them.
It's very important to remember to retain what you've memorized. Because the consequences are very dangerous.
We see that the person who follows the guidance that Allah has given the guidance that Allah has sent it is so much, if you want to make a point of doing everything that Allah Subhana, Allah has commanded. If you try focusing on one thing after the other, when problems do come your way, those problems will not seem to be like a big deal.
When difficulties do come your way, they won't seem to be like a big deal. And this is the contentment of the satisfaction that you will feel despite the difficulties of life.
And if a person thinks that all the punishment is so severe for memorizing and forgetting, I'm not going to memorize
if this is what a person thinks that even this is extremely detrimental, because part of gaining guidance is memorizing the Quran.
Because what do we learn that when a person memorizes the Quran, he has to recite it again and again.
And this Koran will be his companion were in the grave.
And this Quran will come and intercede for him when on the Day of Judgment.
And you will be told, read and ascend? How will it be just because he used to read the word toward we just used to read from the Muslim, it's mainly out of memorization, that read and ascend what you put in your memory, read it now and keep ascending onto the levels of paradise.
And your final stop is where you the last idea that you know, right? So there's a lot of importance of memorization as well. So out of this fear, we should not stay away from it, we should definitely do it, we should definitely focus on memorization. But at the same time, we should focus on remembering what we have memorized.
And it's not just about memorization, it's also about understanding the IR implementing the IR.
And this is something very scary. That at Attica, Ayatollah our commands came to you, and then fantasy that you left them. You started following and then you left them.
You started doing something and then you left it. worker there Luckily,
many times what happens if people start doing good things.
But then eventually, those good things, those good habits, those good practices that went away, they finish, they come to an end, they come to a stop.
And we think that all because of the situation that we're in we cannot continue because of how we are we cannot continue there's so much opposition, we can't do it. There is something very, very serious. You know, because when a person starts something and then he stops it, he's making the dean team, something so insignificant. It becomes like a play in front of others like a game in front of others. That look today he's doing this and tomorrow. He's not doing it. today. She has a hijab on tomorrow. She doesn't have the hijab on today. She's wearing them up tomorrow, she's not wearing it. This is making a game out of the deen of Allah. And when a person plays with the deen of Allah like
this, then he will be played with on the Day of Judgement. Walk identical humans.
So when you start something, have some
have some resolve some determination
and don't trust upon yourself trust upon Allah
Rob is in Arizona and once you holding on to the Quran, then do not leave it because the moment you will leave it, it will leave you. It will go away from you You will forget it.
The only way of staying guided in this dunya The only way of remaining steadfast is holding on to the Quran.
If you lose it, your actions will finish. They will come to a stop, they will deteriorate. Your Eman will deteriorate, your understanding will deteriorate
and you will see how it will affect your actions.
So the only way is holding on to the
