00:00:01 --> 00:00:22
			Money Tada, whoever is guided. Whoever obtains guidance for in nama yesterday lean up see, then
indeed he only obtained guidance he only finds guidance for who, for himself, meaning he is the one
who's going to be benefited by his guidance by his improvement.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:01:03
			Meaning when a person changes his ways, when a person begins something good, then who's the first
one who's going to benefit? He Himself will, because he's going to get the reward. He's not doing
others a favor, rather, he's doing a favor to himself. Because when you're doing good, where's it
being recorded? In your record? Who is it going to please you? Who is it going to bring benefit to
you will yourself, woman Bala, and whoever is whoever goes astray for innama, your Lilu, I lay her
that he only errs against it or lay her against it against who,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:51
			meaning it's knifes himself, meaning only he is going to suffer. Because sometimes it happens that
we do get to please others, so that they can be happy. And they can give us a stamp of approval. Or
we're doing bad just to show to others that we don't care about them. But you know what, it will not
make a difference to your mother, it will not make a difference to anybody, when you do something
good when you do something evil because ultimately, who's going to benefit and who's going to suffer
from harm you yourself, each person is responsible for himself or in the Maya, Linda or Lisa Walter
zero. And it will not bear who was zero to any bear of burden, wisdom, aha, the burden of another,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:02:42
			no person is going to come and carry the sins of another individual. Each person is responsible for
who for himself. So don't do a favor to anybody by sending for their sake. This is not a favor for
them. This is what causing loss to your own self. Because tomorrow, they're not going to come and
carry the burden of sin for you. It's going to be on your back. And it's a burden because since our
burden, one acronym or the been and we are never going to punish her until never I thought rasool
Allah we send a messenger, meaning no people are punished, except after they are warned. Warned
through who through a messenger. So what do we learn from this idea that when a person does
		
00:02:42 --> 00:03:24
			something good, when a person does something evil, he is responsible, because at the end, he's going
to face the consequences, he's going to suffer or he's going to enjoy. And when a person does
something wrong, he cannot blame it on another individual. He cannot blame it on another individual
and say that you carry this in for me, because you told me to do it, or you encouraged me to do it.
No, each person is responsible for himself. You have to look out for yourself. Sometimes we depend
on other people. We depend on other people, that they should push us to do something good. This
should tell us to do something. So for example, it's time for prayer. Why are we sitting and waiting
		
00:03:24 --> 00:04:13
			for somebody to come and tell us get up and pray? Take responsibility of yourself? Because you have
to face your consequences. In total, an arm I 104 Allah says from an algo sobre Faline FC woman
Armia finally her whoever will see meaning some good and he will accept email, that it's for the
benefit of his own soul and whoever becomes blind, that he does harm to himself. Were either or
other and when we wish when we intend Nene when Allah subhanaw taala intends a nuclear that we
should destroy. For the earthen is city a town meeting of people when we intend to destroy a nation?
And why is it that Allah subhanaw taala would intend to punish people destroy them? Why? Because
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:59
			they are increasing in their facade. Each individual each people have been given a time and that
time eventually will come to an end. Right? So when a person is increasing in his evil, when a
nation is increasing in their evil in their facade, then what do they deserve khaleq. But even
before that, even before the punishment comes upon them what happens? Amaro now mudra fee? Amana, we
command we order who mudra fee her it's Mudra of people mudra fee is actually Nutrafin chlorella
mudra singular form is mantra. And mudra Fein mantra who are the those who are living in a trough?
What is a trough a trough is basically to live in luxury
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:46
			To live a life of ease, to live a life of comfort, to have a lot of free time. And this is what
happens with so many people, that they have so much free time because everything is being done for
them. They're living in luxury, every moment is a moment of enjoyment, which is why if one thing
goes wrong, they become so upset. So these are mantra of people. So Allah says that he orders the
mantra of people have had, what does he refer to the Korea, the people, meaning the elite, the rich,
the people of influence? They are ordered, they're ordered among them with raffia? What does Allah
subhanaw taala order them to do? To change their ways to create a positive change in society?
		
00:05:46 --> 00:06:35
			Because who are the leaders? who are people of influence in general, those with money and those with
power? Right? So they are the ones who are commanded to change their ways, because if they will
change their ways, then who else will change their ways? The followers everybody else will. If they
improve, they will set a trend and when they will set a trend what will happen, the entire society
will follow. So a more normal trophy here. And this is the reason why the Prophets when they were
sent to their nations, who did they convey the message to everybody, including, including who the
influential people, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam spoke to the leaders, he spoke to his family
		
00:06:35 --> 00:07:30
			members, right he spoke to the tribesmen the chiefs. Why? Because if they believe that everybody
else will follow so Amana trophy here, however, generally what happened? The people of influence did
they change? No. Instead, they became the main opponents of the profits in the 90s. What did we
learn over and over again? Carl Miller Oh, Colin Manor, oh, Colin Miller who write the chiefs, the
elite, the rich, the people of power, the people of influence, they oppose the profits. So Amana
trophy here, and the motor of people what did they do for faster coffee? They did a lot of fist in
their career, meaning instead of changing their ways, they increased in their facade. They increased
		
00:07:30 --> 00:08:11
			in fist what is fist to cross the limits, to cross the bounds to commit sin to transgress? So this
is what they did, they defiantly disobeyed. For hochkar Lay * coal. And when this last chance
that was given to them, they didn't take advantage of it. What happened for hochkar Lay hill called
the coal the word which word the word of punishment Kadima adopt the sentence of punishment, it
helped up, meaning it became deserving for them. It was proven for them, it came into effect upon
the meeting, now they really deserve punishment for the Mona had the mirror. And so we destroyed it
with complete destruction. Notice the word that mean we did the word that beat earlier and this is
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:58
			the meat and meat, that meme rock, the MER you the milk, that meat, this is also used for total
destruction, total devastation, and it's like, you know, a brick colliding with another brick.
Literally no structure remains. No structure remains like the entire building is raised down,
completely destroyed. So the Mona had Amira, nothing of theirs remained. Their homes destroyed,
their structures destroyed, their systems finished, all those complicated structures that they had
made, all destroyed for the Mona Lisa de Mira. Now, what's the lesson in this is that in the
previous IOCC, that Allah subhanaw taala would never furnish a people until he sends to them a
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:44
			messenger. So this shows that whenever people were in need of guidance, Allah subhanaw taala sent
messengers sent Warners. But typically, what was the reaction of the people accepting that guidance
that warning? No, instead of accepting opposing the messengers, and when they did that, then their
people also blindly followed them and when their people also blindly follow them, the entire nation
is going off track then what happened? The punishment became necessary. So basically, Allah subhanaw
taala does not punish people, for no reason. For no reason. No. A person brings it upon himself.
Sometimes we say things like, you know what I'm meant to be evil. I'm meant to be bad. I'm meant to
		
00:09:44 --> 00:10:00
			be sinful. So I'm just bad. I've accepted it. I'm never going to change. I'm never going to improve.
No, don't say that about yourself. The thing is that Allah subhanaw taala does not force any person
to become evil. He gives us many chances. He gives us good
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:43
			guidance. He gives us warnings. He makes us go through ups and downs in life. Why? So that we turn
to Him? But some people instead of turning to him, what do they do? They increase in their
disobedience. They go farther and farther away from the truth. And what happens when they are
punished? Then whose fault was it? Whose fault was it? Who is to blame they themselves. So in other
words, on the Day of Judgment, nobody can say, Yeah, Allah, this is unfair. No, you were given your
time, you were given your freedom. You were given your choices, you were given so many
opportunities, you were given knowledge. You were given so many chances to repent to improve, but
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:57
			you did not avail them. So on the Day of Judgment, don't blame anybody in this life. Also, don't
blame anybody but yourself parlay over the mana to the mirror. So if a person is in trouble, whose
fault is it, it's their own fault.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:46
			What come Lucknow Meenal karoun And how many we have destroyed off balloon karoun floral of cotton
and what is cotton generation the people of a time. So for example, all of us right now we are
living at the same time. So we are a quorum a generation Some have said that A quorum is a period of
100 years so all the people who have lived through 100 years what are they? If so, how many
generations We have destroyed mimbar dinner and afternoon Alesana because the time between other
millesime A new Halina people were upon fitrah they were upon guidance, and how many Quran were
there? 10 Because it is said that 1000 years were between either Marley's Salaam and new hurleys
		
00:11:46 --> 00:12:25
			Salam, however, after new hanis and I'm what happened? Messenger after messenger. Right. Why?
Because people kept going astray kept going astray. So how many nations we have destroyed afternoon
Hello Sam Walker Furby Rob big And sufficient is your Lord be the Newberry bad he with the sins of
His servants hubiera embassy Raha VLAN aware Bismillah seing meaning, even if we don't know about
those nations, about the crimes of those nations, we never witnessed their sins. We don't even know
what they did. You know what Allah knows? And that is sufficient.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:31
			So what do we see in this is that from the time of no hurry, so Now up until today?
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:37
			What happened? People were given warnings, but they did not
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			pay heed. They did not change.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:47
			Why are we being told about this? Why are we being told about this?
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:53
			Exactly. To check ourselves? are we given warnings in our life?
		
00:12:54 --> 00:13:01
			Yeah, that when you do something wrong, something happens. You're made to face the consequences.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:14
			What's the lesson in that? Change yourself, improve yourself? Check yourself, why did this happen?
And don't repeat the same mistake again.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:58
			You know, like, once there was a man who was caught stealing something at the time of remodel de la
Horne, who and punishment was to be implemented on that man. And that man said, Please, let me go
Please forgive me. This is the first time I made this mistake. And I'll never do it again. Have you
heard that? Many times people say this first time I did it, I'll never do it again. From what I've
learned, who said no, it's not possible that you do something wrong for the first time and you are
caught? No. Because what is Allah's way that a person does something wrong once he's given another
chance? And that person is given another chance, another chance? And when he persists, then what
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			happens? Then he is caught.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:44
			When Einstein accidentally generate the formula of atom bomb, when he realized that, that what he
did, then he burned his finger. Okay, so, so, like, he was basically a soft hearted person. But when
he realized what he did for like, for the people, then there is no use of no crying on that one.
Yeah. So it happens that when a person does something wrong, once or twice, he's not immediately
caught Allah subhanaw taala gives him one chance, another chance, another chance. Why, so that a
person can change himself, he can change himself, but when he does not change himself, then
eventually ultimately is God.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:59
			So on the Day of Judgment, when a person sees his deeds before him and he sees so many mistakes, so
many wrong things, that was not the only time we were given many, many chances will come look
nominal only remember the new and the thing is that Walker Fabula big
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:08
			that'd be the Norbury bed, do you have your number zero, the fact that Allah is watching us and the
fact that he knows our sins. That is enough.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:39
			Because sometimes what happens is that certain individuals, they are good, always, you know, in the
sense that in private and in public, certain other people, what happens with them is that they have
a very good public image. But in private, they do whatever they want to all that they're concerned
about is people should only know something good about me, they should not know anything bad about
me. So they hide their faults from people, they hide their mistakes from people, they become a
different person in front of other people.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:51
			But does Allah know about their sense? Does Allah know about their mistakes? Yes, because Allah
watches us whether we are with people or alone.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:16:38
			Then there are some other people who may have a very bad reputation. Why? Because of the rumors that
have spread about them, or because of the false things that have been publicized about them, but in
private, they are a good individual. So who knows the reality of every person their deeds? Allah
subhanaw taala waka Fabiola beaker be the Newberry baddie, hubby rhombus lira, Allah knows where we
stand, he knows what is in our hearts, even if other people don't know. So who should we fear?
Truly, really? Allah subhanaw taala what should we be concerned about? That our insight coincides
with our outside? Because Allah knows the state of our heart and Allah knows the actions that we're
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:58
			doing. Allah knows how we are in public and how we are in private. We're ultimo and Allah Ya Allah
Murphy and fusi confined the room. Really realize know that Allah is aware of what is in your heart.
So fear him. Allah knows what you do in private. So fear Him,
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:54
			men, Kana, whoever is such that you read the IG letter, he intends the Agila whoever wants the idea,
what is Arjuna Arjuna urge Allah again time has been mentioned or doula what is urge like to want
something immediately, do not be able to wait for something. A lot of doula is that which is
immediate mean that which comes immediately we have odd EULA and a hill, what is Arjuna dunya.
Because in this world, you know the reward is immediate, in the sense that, you know, if you, for
example, cook some food, okay, or if you buy something, you can use it immediately. However, when it
comes to Akira, then what happens? You put some money in the sadaqa box and then when will you get
		
00:17:54 --> 00:18:16
			the reward in the hereafter in this world what happens? You give some money to the cashier and
instantly immediately you get your stuff. But with 100 works the other way around, you give them
money for when will you get your stuff when on the Day of Judgment. So Arjuna is duniya. Why?
Because it is immediate.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:23
			It's instant. But notice the word Adila. It comes quickly.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			But it also goes quickly.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:34
			It's not here to stay, and the alcohol, it comes late, but it will stay forever.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:19:06
			So this is duniya Arjuna comes quickly goes quickly. It is fleeting, it is temporary, it is not
permanent. So whoever wants our Agila whoever wants this world, he wants immediate gratification.
What does Allah say are Janella HuFa we will hasten for him in it. Meaning we will give him quickly
in this world. What man Nasha or what we will not my yesha or what He wills
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:53
			because there are many people who run after this world. But do they get everything they want? No.
They don't. What do they get? Only that which Allah decides for them Manisha Oh, Lima no read for
the one whom we want to give. It's not necessary that a person wants to dunya and he strives for it.
And he also gets it No, Lima nudie it's Allah's decision. So mad y'all know Allahu, but this person
whose entire focus was the dunya was this world. For him? Is that dunya guaranteed? Is the dunya
guaranteed the person who's focused on the worldly benefits? Are those worldly benefits guaranteed?
No, they're not. Because Allah says Allah Jalla houfy have mana share only Manu read.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			It's not guaranteed. But what is guaranteed for him?
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			So much, y'all
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:14
			Mariela who Johanna, then we have made for him * yes Lucha in which he will burn mud Mormon mud
hula mud Moon blameworthy, mud who banished driven away from Allah's Mercy
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:21
			dunya is not guaranteed for him, but punishment in the data that is guaranteed for him.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:21:04
			Earlier we learned that man is hasty, he wants immediate change. Likewise, typically what happens?
Many people in this world when they're doing something, they want immediate praise. They want
immediate response. When they're going through a problem. They want an immediate solution. If
they're doing something good, they want immediate satisfaction. They want immediate reward. If
someone has done something bad, they want immediate revenge. They don't want to leave the matter to
Allah, and they don't want to do Southern and get their award in the era. So what do we learn over
here the one who wants dunya immediate gratification is focused as dunya then okay, some of it will
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:11
			be given to him, not everything, not everything that He desires, not everything that he wants, only
that which Allah allows for him.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:17
			Woman Rodell Hirata, but he who intends the hara
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:29
			his intention his goal his focus is what the afterlife here, but he doesn't just stop there. Yeah,
yeah, of course. I want Jana. Well love these give me Jana.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:22:23
			No, it's not just a wish Wasana her and he strives for it. Satya is striving, meaning the striving
that Astra deserves the effort that the home of the Hereafter deserves? Well, hello movement while
he is a believer meaning Eman is also a condition for Hola ecodan. Yes, it is those people can have
sorry, you homeschool, who sorry, who's striving will be appreciated, meaning it will be appreciated
by Allah subhanaw taala. So there's two ways of living that are mentioned over here. One way is that
a person, his entire focus is this world. I want to home now. I want to be the best now. I want to
be rich now. I want to enjoy this food and that food. Now. I want to experience this and that now.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:41
			He's not willing to give up anything for this world. This world is the focus. So then it becomes
second priority. So if he wants a house he says, Yeah, I want a house. I don't care if I acquired
through lawful means or haram means I don't care. I want a house now i Agila.
		
00:22:42 --> 00:23:03
			I want to eat, you know, sandwich right now. And yes, there is no Halal restaurant over here. I
don't care. I want it now. I Agila. He's not willing to delay. He's not willing to defer. He's not
willing to give up anything he wants it now. So the one whose focus is the dunya.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:09
			Then what does Allah say? He can have some of it, some of the dunya. But how much
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:18
			as much as Allah wants as much as Allah wills. But what is guaranteed for him in the hereafter
punishment?
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:34
			Then there is another way of living. And what is that? That yes, I want to have fun. And I want to
enjoy also. But if it's halal, I'll do it now. But if it's haram, I won't do it now. And I'll delay
it till later.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			I will delay it till Jana.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:24:01
			You know, sometimes when you see these huge, beautiful lakes, and honestly, when you see them,
you're like, I want to swim in it. I really want to, but where's that beach that you can go to and
take off your hijab and swim easily. You can't do that. It's difficult. If you want to observe your
proper hijab. It's not possible. So one is that you say I want to experience this now.
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:22
			And the other is that you say it's okay, if I don't get this opportunity here, clad in sha Allah in
general. So there are many and half better and half. Right. I'll do it there. I'll do it later.
Certain drinks. Very, very tempting. Very tempting. But what do you tell yourself? Not now. Later?
I'll akhira
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:59
			salaam aleikum? When I had my first three daughters, I remember when they were younger. Two of them
used to like to get their stuff right away. And one of them used to like to get whenever we think
it's right. So always the one who always waited used to end up the good things. And I remember my
husband and I, we used to say, you know, because of the suburb she has, she ends up the good thing.
And it's so true. This was very true. Very true. Just yesterday, actually. We were walking outside
and I found a huge leaf so I gave it to my son and
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:23
			Oh, it was big. And then I picked up another one, it was small. He said, I'll keep the big one. I'll
give the small one to my sister. And I said, but you should give better things to others. So anyway,
I was like, nevermind, he's a kid leave him ignore. As we were walking home, I found another leaf
that was much bigger. So now the poor child is like, I already claimed a big leaf. And now we have
another bigger leaf.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:26:08
			So this is human nature that when you see something good, you want it immediately for yourself,
you're not willing to give it up for the sake of others for the sake of Africa. But the thing is
that the one who does suburb and he prefers the acapella he says it's okay, Allah will give me
better, I can delay it till after then what happens? Obviously, the reward that Allah has is much
better than the reward in the Estonia than anything that you could get. So one way of living is
being duniya focused. And the other way of living is being focused giving importance priority to the
ACA, but the one who's focused on the ACA, he doesn't just sit back and relax. No, PSA, he does
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:16
			care. Just as the people who seek dunya the people who want to achieve higher and higher goals in
this dunya do they sit back and relax?
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:59
			Do they know five in the morning, they're in the gym, seven o'clock they're working in the evening,
again, they have meeting after meeting, why? Because they want to go high in life. So likewise, the
one who wants to akhira Salah has sir Yah ha, he must do the required sorry, he must put in the
required effort. You see to accomplish any goal, there is a required effort. So for example, if you
want to open a jar, if you want to open a jar, how much effort do you need to put in? As much as you
would in order to turn a doorknob?
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:37
			Yeah, no, much more than that. Right? Likewise, if you want to climb high up to the ceiling, in
order to fix something, what are you going to use a chair a table? If you do that? Are you going to
reach up the ceiling to change the light bulb? Can you do that? You can't in order to reach the
ceiling What do you need a ladder. So, likewise, in order to get the result in the other award in
the akhirah greater reward, what do you need saleha Satureja you need to put in the required effort
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:52
			in order to enter a particular program in the university. Can you go with your marks in the 50s and
the 60s? No you need a certain average you need a certain percentage in order to graduate
		
00:27:54 --> 00:28:42
			in order to graduate Don't you need a certain mark right a bare minimum it must be there otherwise
you cannot graduate. So likewise, the little also requires certain sorry, Wasana has sorry yeah,
Hmm. Well, who are more men Eman is also a condition. Because there are many people who believe in
the concept of afterlife who are preparing for afterlife. But without Iman. They don't believe in
Allah. They don't believe in Allah the way they should. They don't believe in Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wasallam. So their efforts not valid for Ole kindness are human mascara. But those who do the
right sorry with iman, than their effort will be appreciated meaning it will be accepted by Allah.
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:48
			Now remember that this required effort Sarena has Surya This is both in quantity and quality,
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			both in quantity and quality.
		
00:28:53 --> 00:29:12
			Like for example, a person who wishes to go to Jannah he better have performed certain good deeds,
the quantity should be there. And likewise, it's not just the number of good deeds that matters.
What matters is also the quality with what intention with what feeling
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:51
			did he perform that deed so that also matters sila sorry you're hurt well who am workmen for Hola,
Iike kindness Are you homeless Cora? Allah says Kula knowmad Do Colin to each meaning to each group
to all knowmad Do we extend meaning we extend provision to them? Each person is given opportunities
each person is given risk. Each person is given life each person is given abilities who How will I
eat these meaning the dunya seekers Wow we'll eat and these meaning the Aquila seekers,
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:59
			whether a person wants to dunya or he wants the Accra each person he has been given something by
Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:40
			So for example, those who aim for the dunya. Do they have a physical body? Yeah. And also in for the
ACARA? Do they have a nose and eyes and hands and feet? Yeah. They both have been given bodies. Have
they both been given time? Yes. Have they both been given resources? Yes. Have they both been given
physical ability? Yes, each person is granted. Yes, some are granted less, and some are granted
more, there is a difference. But each person is given something or the other. But it's up to us what
we seek with what we have been given? Do we seek this transitory, fleeting, temporary dunya? Or do
we seek the
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:50
			what do we seek? What do we invest our abilities in? Was it that we invest our time in?
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53
			That choice that freedom is ours?
		
00:30:54 --> 00:31:02
			Allah gave to every one something or the other. Now it's up to us what we earn with it. So for
example, two children,
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:21
			they're both given $100 each, and they're told go buy anything you want. So one child goes to Bulk
Barn. And he's like, Yeah, candy, candy, candy. $100, he spends in candy. And what happens? He comes
home, and he eats as much candy as he can.
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:34
			And then he's having a stomach ache, or he's throwing up, but he's still too greedy to give his
candy away, he keeps it. And then he has to get so many fillings in his teeth, whatever. He used
that $100 To buy candy. Okay.
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:46
			And the other child, what does he do with that? $100? He says, You know what, I have some money
saved up, I'm gonna use this $100 For that, and I'm gonna go buy an iPod.
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:53
			Whose decision do you think was wiser? Both were given an equal amount, right?
		
00:31:54 --> 00:32:21
			One person is buying garbage. And the other person is buying something that's going to be
beneficial. Some people, what happens with their money, it comes in and it goes out, comes in and
goes out. And other people, when their money comes in, they save some of it. They use it wisely.
Right? In the mall, what happens? There's a huge sale. And what happens there are people, some
people with nothing.
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:26
			And some people with so many bags that they have to keep going to the cartoon, but the stuff
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:28
			it's the same Mall.
		
00:32:30 --> 00:33:01
			Same deals, some people take more advantage and other people take less advantage. What's the
difference? The differences in what you want, what you desire and your vision? What do you see? And
what do you choose? Each person is given 24 hours in a day. One person spends his entire day
waiting, waiting, waiting, once his class is over, and once we go home, and once so until it comes
back. And then once this happens, then I'll do something then I'll do something and the next thing
you know the day is over.
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:44
			And other people that same day. They make so much of it. Why? Because they don't spend that day
waiting, they spent that day doing something so call them know me do How old are you? How old are
each person has been given some of this dunya time money, energy abilities? Think about it, what are
we earning with it? Are we earning just the dunya that we're going to consume and that's going to
remain behind? Or are we using it to earn the home of the Hereafter? Colin no middle ha Hola. Hola.
immunopathol, Arabic from the favor of your Lord from the gift of your Lord. Because really This
dunya is a gift because Allah subhanaw taala first He created us
		
00:33:46 --> 00:34:02
			and then he has given us so much so that we can earn reward in the alpha we can do something so that
we can earn reward in the like for example, money, Allah is the One who gives it to us why so that
we give it to him so that we can get when
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:24
			did we make that money ourselves? Did we get it ourselves? Allah provided us to us yes through means
but he is the one who gave us that well, so really, it is a thought it is a favor of your Lord woman
can outta Lubbock, my Louisville and the gift of your Lord, it is not at all my Lou Lou from how
long
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:40
			that which is restricted. Meaning it is not restricted to just people who want the Akira know, this
risk. This alpha is given to those who seek the dunya and also those who seek the alpha.
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:59
			So each person regardless of what he's aiming for, is supplied with opportunities with provisions
etc. Each person is given time. It's up to us how we use them. It's up to us what we make of them
owns or look K for how Farben
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:04
			Now we have preferred Baba him, some of them are about over others.
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:15
			We didn't look in this life, do you see any differences between people in the risk that they have
been given? And in the goals that they accomplish?
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:17
			Isn't it amazing how,
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:20
			you know, sometimes you find out
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:30
			through some social media network that a particular individual who used to go to high school with
you, now they are in med school
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:32
			last year.
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:41
			And likewise, you find out or that individual, there they have, they're doing nothing.
		
00:35:43 --> 00:36:08
			They're doing nothing with their lives, or another individual, how they have changed their way
completely. They were something else. And now they've become completely different. Right? So you see
this difference? People were in the same class, same school, but then one person becomes one, and
another person becomes someone else, and another person becomes someone else. One becomes a doctor,
and one becomes a nurse.
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:18
			And one becomes a cleaner. Right? It's possible that all of them went to the same school. Do you see
this variety in this world? Yes.
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:27
			Does it pinch you, if you see that somebody is doing better than you? Does it pinch you, I went to
the same school as her.
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:56
			And she's about to graduate university and I am still not in. I used to be in a grade ahead of her.
And she's already a doctor. Or she's already, you know, applying to such and such college or you
know, for further studies, and so on and so forth. It pinches you when you see people getting ahead
of you in life. When you see people ahead of you in life, it hurts you. Allah subhanaw taala says,
Oh, look,
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:09
			don't close your eyes over there. Look, see the difference? Accept it. That gave of abunda Barbra
Humala about how we have preferred some people over others.
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:15
			Two brothers, one is something else. And the other is someone else.
		
00:37:17 --> 00:38:09
			Well, here are two but realize that surely the hereafter it is UK, Babu della Jatin. Great greater
in degrees. What both of Leela and greater in distinction, meaning in the akhirah, everybody is not
going to be at the same level. Just as in this world, people are not all at the same level, just
because you went to the same school doesn't mean all of you are going to be doing the same thing at
the end. Just because you're from one family doesn't mean all the children are going to be the same.
No, each person is going to be different. He's going to reach a different level, depending on what
on his actions on his efforts. Right. So in the UK, that are also some people will be in the high
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:27
			levels of Paradise, and some people, you know, they'll make it to paradise. And some people won't
make it to Paradise, they'll be in hellfire. And some people will be in the lowest levels of
hellfire. There are the Rajat in Jannah. And there are the Roccat in hellfire levels in Jannah, and
levels in hellfire.
		
00:38:28 --> 00:39:12
			They won't all be at the same level. No, people will be given a designated level depending on their
deeds on what they have accomplished in life and what they did with the time and with the abilities
that Allah subhanaw taala gave them. But you see the differences in dunya? What happens? You can
comfort yourself, it's okay, I'll try again. Or it's okay. This dunya is not forever, or what
happens there is a huge difference between people financially, but they could both be wearing the
same clothes possible. They both go into the gap and they buy the same clothes possible, right.
Likewise, two people huge difference in their status. However, both could be eating at the same
		
00:39:12 --> 00:40:00
			restaurant possible while they're sitting in the same lane next to each other. Right? Possible.
However, in the UK, it'll remember that the differences are huge. It's not a minor difference. It's
going to be huge UK bottle the Rajat in greater in terms of ranks, meaning in Jana, you can really
go high and high. And Aqua would have Lila this difference in distinction that some are given more
preference over others this difference is going to be huge. How that people have one level of
paradise when they will look at the people who are higher than them. It will seem to them like you
look at the stars from the earth. This is the difference the difference between
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:11
			between the levels of Paradise is like the difference between between what the earth and the sky.
Just imagine what a huge difference. This is what Akbar would have Lila,
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:58
			just think of it this way. Anytime you feel that somebody's got more than you. If you get $100 from
your mother, and your brother gets $100 from your mother and $50 from the uncle, then what happens?
Does it hurt? Why does he have more? Why not me? Why not me? It pinches us, it hurts us. It bothers
us. And this is a reason why we're constantly in this unicycle that I have to have better than them.
I have to do better than them. I have to accomplish more than them. This the castle, the struggle
for increase. But what are we seeking Lunia? And where is it going to stay here? What will remain
the Acela and the levels of the Accra we don't care about it. Just realize that if someone has
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:10
			memorized more Quran than you, they're going to a higher level of paradise than you. You know that?
Because what do we learn that a person will be told read and ascend?
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:20
			So this is what we should be competing in Wi Fi Valley Cafe Elliot and FSL Moto and FE soon. This is
what we should be competing in. This is what we should be racing for.
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:37
			If your sister goes and buys a new pair of shoes, what are you going to want? What are you going to
want a new pair of shoes as well? If you both go to the mall, and she says yeah, I just went and
bought these socks. What are you going to say I want them to you got new socks, I want them to
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:41
			write. it pinches us to this degree.
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:55
			Little children what happens with them? If one child is getting a candy, I wanted to that little
candy for 50 cents I wanted to and he'll throw a tantrum for it. How greedy are we for this world?
But the AHA
		
00:41:56 --> 00:42:07
			what importance do we give to it? What do we say? Yes. Okay, Mashallah. They're doing such a good
job. Yeah, my daughter has memorized 30 pages. How many solos do I know? And maybe two or three?
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:09
			Maybe three or four?
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:24
			Why not me? Why is it that we are content with others getting ahead of us when it comes to the
arsenal, but when it comes to the matters of duniya, we are not content we want to be the best, we
want to have the most
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:59
			for this dunya we are very greedy and for the Athleta we are not concerned Allah tells us look on
the lower case of Ebola about the home Allah about when Allah to Akbar, Buddha, Rajat Akbar route of
Leela. So do something now before it pinches you later. And also this shows to us that in the ACA,
every single deed matters, every little bit matters. In this world, it happens that for instance, do
people if they have marks that are very close to each other average out, and both are given the same
position.
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:32
			Both are awarded the same award, but in the Athleta every bit matters. Loretta Jarrell ma Allahu ala
Han who do not make with Allah another day to another God. Meaning do not set a partner with Allah.
Do not worship anyone with ALLAH worship Allah alone. Why? Because if you do set a partner with

land now sir Allah who the one who has no helper, nobody's there to help him nobody's willing to
help him he has been abandoned.
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:36
			So if a person does shirk with Allah, then what do we learn in this ayah that he will be left alone
to himself, nobody to help him nobody to hear his screams, and nobody to show mercy to him, nobody
to rescue him. mahahual abandoned neglected.
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:45
			In Hadees, we learned that on the day of judgment in the gathering of Hashem and all people will be
assembled. And as the hisab will be done,
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:59
			it will be said that each group of people should go with the one whom they worshipped. So the people
who worshipped the sun, for example, will follow the sun. The people who worship that particular
idol, they will follow the idol the people who were
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:16
			shipped fit her own meaning obeyed him to the degree of worship because he said hon Malala. Right.
He said, I am your God. So there were people who worshipped Him. So they will follow him around.
Each group of people will follow their God. And where will they be led to? Hellfire
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:23
			hellfire, who's going to rescue them? Who's going to help them? Nobody?
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:49
			Ma Lula, the one who turns to other than Allah, that what happens? He is abandoned. Because Allah's
help is no longer with him. And the ones that he's seeking the one that he turns to, how long can he
maintain that relationship, just for the time in this world? That's it. Because on the Day of
Judgment, what will happen? All ASVAB all connections will be cut off.
		
00:45:51 --> 00:46:05
			But the one who worships Allah alone, the one whose goal whose aim in life is to make Allah happy to
earn Allah's pleasure, then he will never be abandoned. He will never be alone, because at the time
of death, even
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:23
			when we will go all alone in our salah. He will go all alone through that door of death, what will
happen, angels will come and tell that person, the latter half of Allah doesn't who don't have fear
and don't grieve what up she will be happy with the good reward that that is promised to you.
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:28
			To the person who worships Allah alone, he will never be alone.
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:44
			And the person who worships other than Allah, He will forever be abandoned and hellfire to hear his
screams. Nobody to share his agony with nobody to comfort him. Nobody, Maha Luna
		
00:46:45 --> 00:46:55
			and this is a very, very important thing led by John ma Allahu Allah and arco, Fatah, karuna, MUMA.
Medulla, what's the connection of this with the previous ayat?
		
00:46:57 --> 00:46:59
			What's the connection of this with the previous ayah
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:04
			worshiping Allah alone is the key to success.
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:34
			Fortunately, in our own desires, and this in itself is a form of shirk. And so this next I really
like you know exactly that when we are focused on the dunya alone. That is our goal. Then why why is
it that we want immediate reward, immediate happiness, immediate pleasure, because we think that if
I delay the reward until aka then who's going to be my friend today?
		
00:47:35 --> 00:47:42
			We want friends, we want fame, we want acceptance. We want to please people,
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:56
			right? So for example, for a particular individual, they fear that if I put our hijab on, then my
friends will leave me, they will leave me and it happens with some people, literally their friends
move away from them just because they have put on a hijab.
		
00:47:57 --> 00:48:07
			Right? Nobody wants to marry them. So it happens that this fear comes if I obey Allah, if I seek the
law, I will suffer in my dunya.
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:18
			But the thing is, that no matter how much dunya you enjoy, no matter how many people you please, no
matter how many worldly benefits, you gain, it's all going to stay here.
		
00:48:19 --> 00:48:37
			It's all going to stay here. It doesn't matter. What matters is what you have done for Allah.
Because if you've done something for Allah, you have sacrificed something for the sake of Allah,
then you will never be alone. Allah is with you, his angels are with you, his servants are with you.
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:48
			And you know, it's worth money and we learn that the Muhtar Keane, those who fear Allah, they will
be brought as a waft as a delegation to meet Allah
		
00:48:49 --> 00:49:08
			as a delegation. So a person who worships Allah alone, who loves Allah who fears Allah who prefers
the era. That's his goal, to see Allah's face, then he will have company now in the grave, and in
the era, and the one who forgets Allah.
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:16
			Then what happens to him? Even though he is surrounded by people, he is empty inside, he's lonely
inside,
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:31
			the one who seeks this world. Even though he surrounded with the pleasures of this world, he is
empty in the heart. He will suffer from loneliness. Even though he has millions of followers and
millions of likes.
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:46
			He will be alone in the grave. He will be alone in the afternoon and he will be alone in hellfire.
Nobody is going to have any pity for him. show any mercy to him. So worshipping Allah subhanaw
taala. Alone. What is that?
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:54
			The key to success, preferring the akhirah what is that key to success? Let's listen to the
recitation of these verses.

00:54:43 --> 00:54:49
			Whereas no matter how much more a person can have now, what is it? It's less because it's fleeting.

			Where does more matter? In the ACA because we'll Akeelah to UK Barbuda, Rajasthan workboat of Lila I
shouldn't
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:40
			She didn't have a lot of time to practice and she got very sick and she was in the hospital. So in
the hospital bed when she was about to die, and people knew that they were telling her to read
Galena and she didn't know Quran because she didn't have time to read and stuff. So she was saying
what should I say? Should I say this like Lila law? Or should I say what they're saying? And they
asked who who are saying what? So she said that I have sort of Fajr Yeah, you had to enough

00:55:58 --> 00:56:04

else is telling me to say
		
00:56:05 --> 00:56:15
			this, why should I stay? Or should I say that and they asked her, what's that and then she read the
ayah so that she had never studied the Quran, she has never seen

for dunya you never know you might never even get enough duniya
