00:00:01 --> 00:00:21
			Yeah, uh, you have Russolo all messengers who know minute by Uberti each of the good things were
MaryLu saleha and work righteousness in need be meta MeLuna Eileen, indeed I am of whatever you do
all knowing.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:01:18
			Yeah, you heard Russell, all messengers, Allah subhanaw taala is addressing all of the messengers.
But when this I was revealed, tell me something, how many messengers were there? At that time? On
the earth? There was only one messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam only him, but this style of the
eye, you had Russell, what does it show? That every messenger was given the same instruction at his
time? All right, this is a command that Allah gave to every messenger. So yeah, you heard whistle,
all messengers? What is it that Allah subhanaw taala told every messenger Kulu Minato yerba, you
should eat of good pure things. And what kind of actions should you do? Why Armello saleha? DO armor
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:29
			that is solid? Why? Why should you eat good? And why should you do good? Because in need be mathema?
Luna? Eileen, I know whatever you are doing.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:45
			If the messengers were given this command, then what does it mean? Their nations are included.
Right? So if all the messengers were instructed to do this, then what does it mean? This wasn't
instruction for all of mankind.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:02:02
			So this is a command also for who for us. If Allah subhanaw taala wanted his messengers to do
something, all right, and it's a General Command, General instruction. That means that Allah also
wants us to do the same thing. He wants us to follow His messengers.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:12
			So what are the two things that are mentioned over here? What do commence first of all, Kulu Minato,
you bet each of the good things.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:03:01
			Allah subhanaw taala has created many things that we can eat from, right. But everything that is
edible, is not equal. In terms of nutrition, in terms of health benefits, right? There is a
difference depending on who the person is, right? Where they're living, what season it is, right?
Something may be good for a particular person because he lives in a particular land. But that same
food may be harmful for another because he lives in a different place. Right? Or, for instance, what
suits me is quite possible, something that doesn't suit you. So, Allah subhanaw taala has created
different foods. So from the different varieties of foods that Allah has created, what does he tell
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:21
			us? What is it that we should select for ourselves? That which is the Yep, that which is good,
because remember that type, what does it mean that which is clean, pure, all right, good, meaning
good quality, and also that which is favorable, that which is favorable that which suits you.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:04:11
			So for example, in the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala mentions the winds, right, that wind which is the
Yerba, that when you are traveling by sea, and when you get by Eva winds, what does that mean?
favorable winds, meaning winds that are blowing in the direction that you want to go in. It's
something that suits you. So likewise, there are certain foods that suit us and certain foods that
don't suit us. And each person should know. Each person should be aware of what they're eating what
they're putting in their bodies. Eat that which is good. And then once you've eaten, what should you
do? Go sleep? Yeah. Is that what the if Elvis, eats, and then eat more? And then sleep and then get
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:34
			lazy? And then whatever you don't want to eat? Just throw it away, wasted? What does Allah tell us?
What's the next part Wiremu follow her. Do that which is good. Which means that eat, for health, for
energy, for strength, so that you can do
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:48
			don't eat merely for pleasure. Because in this life, you can't eat just for pleasure. If you do
that, you will suffer. You understand? Like, for example, if you really really love ice cream,
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:59
			and you keep eating ice cream and you have a whole box like a small box every night, then what will
happen at the end of the week, you wonder I'm going to the gym every day, when that thing's working.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			Right. So you're eating for pleasure.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			But it's not helpful.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			Eating for pleasure is where? in Jannah, it's not in this world.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:55
			You know why its agenda? Because telcos have when a person will drink from the water of held cosa.
All right? What do we learn that he will never become thirsty again, he will never experience
thirst. Which means that any drinking in Jannah is for need. What is it for? It's for pleasure. Here
in this life, we eat for what purpose? What purpose, for strength, for health? All right, so that we
can do something. Because we are here in this life not to enjoy, why are we here to do armor.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:05
			So Eat of the good things, and then do righteousness. And it's amazing. Eat by Yep. And do solid.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:15
			Eat not just anything, see what you're eating, select what you're going to eat. And do not just
anything, select what you're going to do,
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:25
			what you consume should be of the best quality. And what you produce should also be of good quality.
You understand the connection here?
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			Consume what is best and produce what is best.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:35
			Kuno may not tell you about Wiremu, saleha.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:07:25
			And then, based on where the emphasis is put, we like understand the sentence, right? So like over
here, I was thinking about like, how it says, Eat, like from good and do good. But like if we put
the emphasis on the good, right? So like, if you eat good, you'll be able to do good. You know,
that's true that if you eat good, then you'll be able to do good. Because otherwise what will happen
when we eat food that is basically seasoned salt, sugar and fat. All right, then what energy is it
going to give us? Instead of energy it's going to put us to sleep, then what kind of thermal can we
do? Zero. So much so that we cannot even put our dishes are when
		
00:07:26 --> 00:08:08
			has it ever happened? You eat at the restaurant? Alright, you're done eating and you're sitting, I
don't feel like getting up. You can't even bother to pick up that tray. And just throw the wrappers
away. Why is it that people leave everything at their table? Because they don't even have the energy
to do that? The food did not give them energy, it drained them of energy. So coulomb Hinata, yerba
Wiremu saleha. And why should you do this? Why should you eat consciously and do armo consciously?
Why? Because in the Bema, dharma Luna, Arlene, I am watching you, Allah knows whatever we do,
whatever food we put in our mouth, whatever we consume, and whatever we produce, Allah knows what
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:35
			we're doing. Recently, I was watching this lecture by one of doctors, all right. And it was about
health and nutrition, right? And then we're saying that we can never hide from our body. Right? We
can ever cheat our body. You know. So for example, if you want to eat something that you don't want
your mother to find out, what can you do? You can tell her mom look at that, and then just quickly
put a bite in your mouth. Can you do that with your body?
		
00:08:37 --> 00:09:12
			Can you do that? You can't because whatever you put in your body, your body has to break it down.
Your body knows what you're eating, you cannot cheat your body. And I was thinking yeah, it's a good
example. But the fact is that yes, okay, you can't hide from your body but you can't hide from Allah
subhanaw taala either. This is just with regards to food, right? You can't hide from your body. But
with regards to every other aspect of our life, every single aspect of our life where and when can
we hide from Allah, nowhere in the beam attom Aluna Ali, I know whatever you do.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:59
			So eating good eating pie Yep. We learned in one of the previous I had about shared data about a
particular tree that tumbled to be Dagny that produces a dune a particular oil which can be used for
applying on the body and it can also be used for lamps Alright, as fuel for fire. But there is one
more benefit that Allah tells us in that area, which is what Sybil in Lille actually, it is also a
symbol of coloring a dip for those who eat meaning it is also edible, you can also eat it. So what
are the benefits of olive oil? There are some studies that prove that it
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:22
			has many health benefits. So particular diseases, it helps cure them. Okay, what else? Somebody
else? It's good for the skin. Okay for the skin so applying it on the skin. It's good hair. All
right over there is good for the bones when you get bones you can apply on it is good for that.
Okay, what else are there? Quickly? Anybody?
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:36
			It's good for to prevent the hard problems. Okay? What else? It's good for locking in moisture in
your hair. Okay, interesting. Cuz he's asking cleaner.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:11:21
			Okay, cleansing the skin. What else? It gets rid of stomach pain. Okay for stomach pain. What else?
I was gonna say like acid in your stomach. It's helped settles. Okay. That's clever. Just pass the
mic around. It takes the fact of poison away. Okay. slows the aging process. Okay, if you plan on
blisters, they'll help Okay, that's That's true. It really helps I've experienced it that if you
have a cut anywhere a burn anywhere and you apply olive oil, it's actually quite soothing and
inshallah it will cure pretty fast because you know, in the Quran, Allah says about olive oil you
can do say to her up to Willow lump them says who now?
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:34
			That even though it has not been touched by fire, all right. Still it glows. Meaning it has benefit
when it is raw, uncooked, all right.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:12:04
			It's good for anti aging. Like if you put it on your skin. Okay. So take the mic on the side,
please. And maybe somewhere to the back. Also, it's good for your wants to clean out your wax from
your ear. Does Akela Hayden that is very helpful. It is. So anybody who's raising their hand over
there? It is good for the memory and Alzheimer. Okay, yeah, it's good for blood pressure. Okay, did
anybody find anything negative about all
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			that oil can like,
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:17
			like add too much cholesterol in it. Okay. Anything else? If you didn't find anything negative, you
did not do your research properly.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:13:08
			Because if you just type on YouTube, olive oil, one of the first few videos that you will find are
about the fact that olive oil is not good for you. Okay, now, you know why they say it's not good
for you. Because we over eat everything. Everything we eat more than we need we do is suave. And
Allah says Kulu wash Euro boo hoo Holla 234 This is our problem. If we find out olive oil is good
for you. What do we do on our salad? Three tablespoons of olive oil. Okay, yeah, all the wine is
good for you cooking it? Yeah, exactly. There should be like 10 tablespoons of oil in our food.
Right? Everything has too much oil in it. This is why than olive oil is not good for you either when
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:54
			you do it in Israel, right? Because if you look at the Iowa does Allah say slavers in Lille,
actually, just to dip Vinny just a tad bit is enough a little bit as okay. And if you take
everything in moderation, insha Allah, it is helpful. But once you go beyond the limits of
moderation, then what happens instead of beneficial, it becomes harmful. Right? So Kulu Minolta EBIT
each of the good things, which means first and foremost, we should know what we are eating. What are
we eating? What are we consuming? Because many times we just eat without even thinking what it is.
The maximum we check is, is it Hello? Okay, Tara just eat Yeah, so and so told me, Tara, just eat
		
00:13:54 --> 00:14:19
			it. There was a workshop that was held to deliver the spices, where the sisters who are promoting
health awareness, right amongst Muslim women especially. So in that I learned three things. That if
you want to know when if something is good for you or not check, first of all, did it come from the
farm? Or did it come from the factory? Where was it made? Farm or factory?
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:26
			Secondly, check the ingredients. Are there any words that you cannot read?
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:58
			Any words, the meaning of what you don't know? Mysterious ingredients, numbers and codes, all right.
And even if they're not, they're words that we cannot even pronounce. We have no idea what they are.
So if it has mysterious ingredients, it's not healthy. Thirdly, check the nutritional value. How
much fat does it have? How much sugar does it have if the first second or third ingredient is sugar?
It's not worth eating.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			So
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:40
			Check the snacks that you give to children or check the snacks that you keep in your bag. What are
the ingredients? The first ingredient? The second ingredient? The third ingredient? Even when it
comes to juice, how much sugar does it have? All right? And if it is, in a package, it is sweet. And
it says no sugar. It's worse. Because it's not sugar, then what is it? Some other chemical, some
other chemical, right? Which is going to be worse for you. So just three things if you can remember
100, this is really helpful at my house with children. All right. But if you want to convince them
not to eat something, this is what we go for. Where was it? Where did it come from? From the factory
		
00:15:40 --> 00:16:09
			or from the farm? Secondly, mysterious ingredients. Are there any mysterious ingredients? And
thirdly, is there sugar in here? How much sugar is it? Go ahead, especially at younger ages. And the
causes for that is everything that children eat nowadays is full of sugar. Like even if it's not
what it's meant to be not like the snack is what it's supposed to be. They're all full of sugar. And
so there's a whole like, obviously, the children have so much more energy when they go to school.
Exactly. I mean, who thinks yogurt is good for you?
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:55
			Who thinks yogurt is good for you? Everybody agrees? Right? Yogurt is good for you. But sometimes we
want sweet yogurt. Right? And we think oh, if it's a little boxes, and it's flavored, everybody will
eat it. Okay, read what that yogurt box says. What is it made from skim milk? It's made from skim
milk. What's the next ingredient? Sugar. What's the next ingredient? Something else that you cannot
read? Right? If it has a paragraph off ingredients, it's not worth eating. Because yogurt
technically should only have two or three things in it maximum. Not more than that. So could Aminata
you hurt each of the good things because if you don't watch what you eat, then what will happen? You
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:58
			cannot do our Mo salah. You cannot do remote salah.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:18
			Because if our health is poor, then how much energy will we have? How can we wake up preferred
you're on time? How can we have a restful sleep? How can we fast properly regularly? It's not
possible. You don't if you look at the profits on a lot of slums life. How old was he when he
received prophethood?
		
00:17:20 --> 00:18:09
			40 All right. How long did he stay in Makkah how many years? In the 14th year he did hijra, so How
old was he when he did Hijra 5454 when he did his little? Anybody in their 50s? Here? Okay. You
don't have to tell me. But generally what happens is that when a person hits their 50s they think
I'm so old. I need to retire. Right? I can't do this and I can't do that this Ramadan. I don't think
I should be fasting. The prophets and a lot of them started fasting the month of Ramadan after 54
after 54 All right. And he was in Medina for about 10 years and then he passed away. So what does it
mean all the major battle all the battles in fact that the Prophet saw the loss and participated in
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:16
			he was in his 50s and 60s 50s and 60s.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:19:06
			The Prophet sallallahu sallam was strong, he was healthy. This is why He said a lot mineral Kuwait.
Chiron, what a horrible Illa mineral mineral brief, what we call him claim that the strong believer
is more beloved to Allah and better before Allah, then the weak believer, but in each is good.
Meaning both are good. The strong believer is good. And the weak believer is good because both of
them have Iman. But the strong believer is better. Why? Why is he better? He's got more muscles,
she's skinnier, what makes her better? What makes them better? Because they have more energy, more
strength, they can accomplish more, they can do more. Right? Because the healthier you are, the
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:38
			longer you will live in the sense that if that is decreed for you, you will live longer, right?
You're not going to be dying Have you know some disease and sick with that disease for such a long
time. And that is also up to Allah subhanaw taala because sometimes a person thinks they're very
healthy, they're making sure that they're perfectly fine, but still they got sick. But anyway,
generally what happens generally what happens with the healthier you are the longer you live right,
so you can accomplish more. Remember that in the Hadith we learned that once there was a zahavi who
passed away,
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:55
			all right, one companion, he passed away and he died as a shaheed. Alright, and another companion
died a year later. And somebody saw in their dream that the one who died later, enter Jannah first,
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			you understand the one who died later, enter Jannah for
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:12
			errs, and the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that yeah, because the one who live longer, he had a
whole year of Salawat of prayers, that the person who died before him did not pray.
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:31
			He had one year one extra year of good deeds, one extra year of good deeds. And this is why his
entry into Janna came first. Health is an asset. As long as we're healthy, we can do something.
Because think about it when we're sick. Can we even do this?
		
00:20:32 --> 00:21:09
			It's difficult because a person tries to do they could well what happens if fall asleep? Can you
pray properly? Can you do your son? Can you go about and do your regular activities? You can't.
Sickness slows you down. All the age slows you down? This is why the prophets of autism said take
benefit of five before five and one of them is what? Health before sickness and life before death.
So the prophets of Allah were commanded. Kulu Minato EBRT Wiremu saleha nev Mata MeLuna Eileen, I
know what you are doing.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:22:06
			What in the heavy OMA to come and indeed, this is your OMA your religion, your community, own mutton
Wahida one religion. All of the prophets were upon one religion, one religion and what was that
after hate? Every prophet, His call was to Allah. Yeah comb or with Allah. Well, my people worship
Allah. So when in the heavy OMA to come OMA Tanwar Haida for hon calm and I am your Lord for Taccone
so fear me, fear me fulfill the purpose of your existence. What is the purpose of our existence
worshipping Allah subhanaw taala and this is what the messengers reminded their people off. So fear
Allah and remain firm Fatah cotta true but what happened? They caught up they split up the quarter
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:40
			from off the iron quarter. What does the author mean to cut something off and the author is to cut
it to pieces? So the people of the messengers What did they do the nation's What did they do they
cut up they divided I don't know whom their affair which affair of religion meaning the matter of
religion they cut it up by now in between them zoo Bura into pieces. Zuber is a plural of zebra and
Zebra is used for a large piece or a large sheet of iron a large piece or sheet of iron.
		
00:22:42 --> 00:23:34
			So they broke up the religion into what into pieces. So imagine a building a structure and somebody
comes and breaks it down. And each individual comes and takes one big piece of something. They cut
up the religion into pieces. Zubrin is also the plural opposite bowl and what is about sheet. So
they cut it up into sheets, I imagine a book and the binding is taken off. What do you have loose
sheets? So each individual comes and takes one sheet on paper. All right. So this is what the people
did. They destroyed the structure of religion. They broke it up, they divided up the profits brought
one religion, they brought one message on Mattawa whether it's one religion, but what happened over
		
00:23:34 --> 00:24:19
			time, that the people divided the religion and turned into sects into different groups, and cooler
has been every group be mela de him with what they have for you one ones who rejoice? Meaning
they're very happy with the piece of iron that they have, or with the sheet that they have. Just
imagine a beautiful structure a beautiful house. It's broken down. All right. And everybody comes in
takes one piece of it. And somebody has a broken door. And they're like, Yeah, you know, best door
ever. I have the best thing I have the best thing. What good is that broken door? If there was a
book that was ripped apart, and each person took one sheet and he has one sheet, what good is it?
		
00:24:20 --> 00:25:00
			It's incomplete. It's not of much benefit. You don't know what was before it. You don't know what
was after it. It's out of context. You don't know it. You don't even fully understand it. It's
meaningless. What is being implied over here, that when the people divided up amongst themselves,
what did they do? They took parts of the religion and they adhered only to those parts and they
abandoned the rest of the religion. And whatever part they're holding on to their clinging to,
they're very happy about it thinking that they're doing the best thing ever. This is basically
talking about the hood and the Nosara right? Because we
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:24
			Learn about them have a totally new hobby Beldon Kitabi with UK Furuno Bebout Do you believe in
parts of the book and you disbelieve in others, because this is what they did whatever suited their
desires, whatever they liked, they held on to it, they're practiced it and whatever they found
difficult they left it. And when they did that, over time, what happened? One Nation turned into
many nations, many groups, many sects.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:45
			But this is not just limited to Yehuda NESARA. Look at our state today. Allah subhanaw taala has
given us the Quran and the Sunnah. If a person says, No sunnah only got one. And they're very happy
about the fact that they're following the Quran. They believe in the Quran. Do they have the
complete Deen? They don't. But they're very happy about what they're doing.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:26:13
			Right? Likewise, some people say, oh, there is no need to spend on your head Junior Umrah and your
old Korea and all of this, you should serve the poor and the needy. No need to spend your time in
praying and fasting. What's a better good deed is that you serve humanity. Okay? That is good also,
but you cannot take bits and pieces of the deen you have to take the whole religion.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:53
			Color has been the malady him for the home, each person, each group is very happy with what they
have. Allah says further home, just leave them feeling rotting him in their confusion had the Hain
until a time leave them. Don't bother talking to them. Why? Because when a person is like this, that
he's only holding on to a part of the religion. And he thinks he's doing the best. And he's the only
one who is upon the truth. Then what happens? It's difficult to even have a discussion with these
people. When a person is on falsehood,
		
00:26:54 --> 00:27:38
			believing that it is Huck, and he is so firm on it. He looks down on all the rest of the people and
he thinks he's the only one who's rightly guided. Can you even have a conversation with them? Can
you even have a discussion with them? No, you can't. Because immediately they look down on you. The
Prophet sallallahu sallam, he faced a very similar challenge in Morocco. Because the people of
Makkah, they considered themselves as the best of the best. They said we are Quraysh we are the
nannies. Our lineage goes back all the way to Ismar you to Ibrahim we are children of Ibrahim. And
in addition to that, the Kaaba, the house of Allah, we take care of it. We are its custodians, the
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:53
			hijabs that come we serve them. We do everything. We're the best. And the scrawny you're talking
about we don't have any need of it. This message that you brought, we don't need it. We are
perfectly fine. They did not even want to listen to the Prophet sallallahu right he was
		
00:27:54 --> 00:28:07
			so What did Allah subhanaw taala set for them home just leave them feeling rotting him in their
camera had their hand what is llamada hombre is from the letters line meme raw. And Limra is
basically a large and deep body of water.
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:49
			So just imagine a lake. Okay, huge and deep, so deep, that if you throw a stone, you don't know how
far it has gone. Have you ever seen a well? A Well, right? You throw something in it and you wait to
hear when is it going to reach the end and you can't even tell how deep it is. It's so deep, so
leave them in there hombre, Gomorrah is used for misguidance for ignorance for off law, heedlessness
a state in which a person claims to know but he doesn't actually know. So leave them in their
hombre. It's as if they're drowned. Leave them
		
00:28:50 --> 00:29:38
			you can't even explain anything to them because they're not willing to listen. They're not willing
to come out of that depth out of that water. They're not willing to look up, they're not willing to
look around. They think that that water is the only thing they think their world is the only world
they think their life is the best. You know, for instance, there's a story that is narrated about a
frog right a frog that lived in a well and the frog thought that that well was the whole world all
right and he thought that it was the only place it was the best place that water was the best water
for him. The entire world was just the well and this is how many people think the only health is
		
00:29:38 --> 00:30:00
			what I am in the only world is what I am living in. I am the best I am upon truth Allah says though
home field Emirati him had the Hain is gonna do they think a nama that indeed that which knowmad to
whom be we are extending them off? No may do from the root letters me
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:34
			In dal dal Muthiah motto is to stretch to lengthen something. Do they think that whatever we are
lengthening for them, meaning whatever we are giving more off to them, what are we giving them more
off, mammalian of wealth we're burning and children because the Mushrikeen of Mecca the people of
Makkah, they were wealthy, look at the Quraysh they were well off, they had power, they had money
that everything they wanted, influence authority. And they thought, we have all of this because we
are doing right we are upon the truth.
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:57
			Because if we were wrong, that Allah would be unhappy with us, and if he was unhappy with us, he
wouldn't have given us all of this he would have punished us and many times people think like this,
if I am wrong, how come I am successful? If I am wrong, how come I've got money? If I am wrong, how
come my body's healthy?
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:21
			Allah says is a bona do they think, undermine omit the human male in Woburn in that whatever we are
extending to them of wealth and children do they think that new Sadie or Allah Winfield high rot
that we are hastening for them Phil Hi, Robin, good things newcity Row Masada Arsene Lorraine, to
bring quickly
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:40
			that we are giving them good things so quickly, meaning in this world, good things refers to one
wealth, children, right? The influence the power success that they're enjoying? In other words, do
they think that they have all of this because we are rewarding them?
		
00:31:41 --> 00:32:03
			Because many people think that if I have health, if I have money, if I have success, if I have a
happy married life, if I have good children, I am being rewarded. I am being rewarded. How do we
know it's a reward? It could very well be a huge test. In fact, every blessing is a test, isn't it?
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:38
			So they think that this is all reward? Do they think they're being rewarded? Allah says Bella, yes,
Sharon, rather they do not perceive. They do not understand. This is not reward. They're not being
rewarded. This is is that Raj? What is this The Drudge throne? Allah subhanaw taala gives time to a
person. He doesn't punish them immediately. He lets them enjoy. And then he lets them have a few
more breaths and a few more days, and a few more chances. And then finally, their term comes to an
end.
		
00:32:40 --> 00:33:24
			So the people of Makkah, they thought Allah must be happy with them. In Surah Al Imran i 178 Also we
learn while I am seven Alladhina Cafaro unknown Lila on Cairoli unfussy him, that those who
disbelieved they should never think that what we're extending to them of enjoyment is good for them.
No, it's not good for them. This enjoyment that they're experiencing, it's not good, who's sad, it's
good. So it's as if we're being shaken. Wake up. Just because you're having a good time in your life
doesn't mean that Allah is happy with you. Good time in this life is not necessarily reward. fit our
own also had the best time in his life.
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:36
			You ask any person who does something haram who does something good? Did they like it? Did they
enjoy it? Of course. How was that drink? How was that Zina? How was that party? How was that haram?
It was good. It was fun.
		
00:33:37 --> 00:34:28
			Why was it fun? Why was it good? Because Allah who approves of it? No, but Laya shrewton they do not
understand. This is not reward. This is just time that Allah is giving you so that perhaps you may

Allah, they are in all of his greatness. And because of that, they're apprehensive. They're not
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:56
			negligent. They're not egoless what one Lavina and those who home baby if you're a beginner, you may

00:34:57 --> 00:35:00
			they give whatever they give in charity or an
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:41
			Action that they're doing, no matter what good they do. What is the state of their heart? What
coloboma Agila? Their hearts are, what do you love? What do you love while Jim left trembling,
trembling inside? Why are their hearts trembling? When they're giving charity? Or when they're
performing a good deed? Why are their hearts trembling? And now home Ealer up behind Roger your own,
this realization that indeed their to their Lord will return. They're going back to Allah and no
matter what they have done is not sufficient. And no matter what they have done is not good enough.
There is always a need to do more. I shall deliver on time when she heard that she asked the Prophet
		
00:35:41 --> 00:36:29
			salallahu Salam, that are these verses about people who do sin, and this is why they're afraid.
Prophets all along, some said no, oh daughter of a Siddiq. They are ones who pray, and fast and
given charity, while fearing that it will not be accepted from them. This is why their hearts are
trembling. They're afraid that it might not be accepted. They're afraid that what they're doing is
not good enough. They're not satisfied with their accomplishments. They realize there is a need for
improvement. There is a need to do more. So what happens hola Iike. You said your own Phil. Hi rod.
Those are the ones who hasten in good deeds, meaning they do not delay performing good deeds while
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:48
			home and they laugh for IT Savvy Cohn wants to get ahead of others want to outstrip others mean
they're the first ones to do it. So first of all, they're not lazy. And secondly, they're the first
ones to do it. Why are they ahead in doing good? Because they realize whatever they have done is not
enough.
		
00:36:49 --> 00:37:32
			There is a need for improvement. You see, there is a companion but there have been a lot Radi Allahu
Anhu and I told you his story once before, right that how he was a slave, and how the woman was used
to torture him physically abused him. This Sahabi many years later, after the prophets, Allah lost
and many years later, he was on his deathbed, close to dying. And he was afraid he was crying. And
the people said, Why are you feeling like that? You are one of the first people to accept Islam. You
did hijra, you are with the prophets of Allah. And for all these years you did this and this and
this good. Why are you afraid? He said that there were those amongst us like Musab even remade, who
		
00:37:33 --> 00:38:24
			did what they did for Islam. Masabi been remade, first teacher in Medina, the one who brought Islam
to Medina. And what happened he died at Ohio and when he died, there was not even enough cloth to
cover his body with when we covered his head, his feet were exposed when we covered his feet his
head was exposed. So we covered his feet with some grass, that is how we buried him. So he will get
his budget in Gemini inshallah in the hereafter. But then there are us we who lived on and we reaped
the fruits of our labor here, we suffered initially. But then Allah subhanaw taala rewarded us here,
he gave us good here. And I am afraid that what if I have consumed all of my reward here? What if
		
00:38:24 --> 00:39:00
			nothing awaits me in the hereafter? You see how the Sahaba thought if they received good here, they
consider that to be a liability. They got stressed out, they got worried that perhaps this means
there will be no more good afterwards perhaps we're getting under for our deeds. Now. Allah says
Allah Iike, you said your own affiliate rod. They are the ones who get ahead. Those who are not
satisfied with whatever they have done. They realize there is a need to do more. Recently, I learned
that whoever wishes to teach must never cease to learn.
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:32
			We think okay, I have this degree. I've studied this much. Now. I'm perfect. I don't need to
increase. I don't need to learn more. I don't need to do this. And this yet. 10 years ago, I did
this. And five years ago I gave sadaqa. And, you know, three years ago I fasted in the month of
Ramadan. And yes, I did this. I've done enough. No, we've never done enough. There's always a need
to do more. And such people who realize there's a need for more, they keep going forward, they keep
excelling May Allah subhanaw taala make us amongst those who are greedy for hive.
