We're still reading from the book of Al
-Mujahidah, Struggling for the Cause of Allah, subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
Umriyad al-Saliheen, Imam al-Nabawi rahimahullah wa
ta'ala, brings hadith number 101.
101, qal, wa'an Abi Hurairat radiallahu anhu,
anna Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam qal.
Hujibat al-naru bil shahawat, wa hujibat al
-jannatu bil makarih, hayth muttafakun alayhim.
Wa fil wa'id Muslim, huffat, which means
the same thing.
So the meaning of the translation here, the
messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says,
qal, the hellfire is surrounded with all kinds
of desires and passions.
And jannah, paradise, is surrounded with all adversities
and hardships and difficulties basically.
Rawahu al-Bukhari wa Muslim.
What does that mean?
How is that related to al-Mujahidah, ya
jama'a?
How is that related to the struggle for
the sake of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam?
I mean, what it means is that if
you're going to be going to jannah, you're
going to have a rosy path to jannah,
right?
Is it true, ya jama'a?
That jannah is a rosy path?
Absolutely not.
There are a lot of obstacles you have
to jump over and go underneath and so
many things that you have to struggle in
order to get to al-jannah.
Huffat al-jannah bil-makarah, jannah was surrounded
with hardships and difficulties.
Makarah, the word makarah means dislikes, things that
you don't naturally desire to do.
Like how many of us would really, really
desire to wake up in the middle of
the night when it's freezing cold and you're
in the warmth of your blanket, masha'Allah,
to go and wash your hands and your
face with cold water?
Alhamdulillah, if I were a true worshipper, yeah,
I would do that.
I have no problem with this, right?
But for somebody, ya'ni, allahu ghafoor rahim,
khalas, I'll wake up al-dhuhr insha'Allah
ta'ala.
Right?
It's not easy, it's not easy.
And Allah mentioned that clearly in the Qur
'an, when it comes to get into al
-jannah, it's not going to be easy.

Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam.
And I need as a believer to try
my best to resist falling into these desires
and shahwat.
As shahwat, if you look at the desires,
they're on the lower level, right?
Spirituality is in the upper level.
So if you would like to reach the
level of angels, you're going to have to
ascend up.
You go up.
Going up goes against what, Ijma'ah?
Gravity, right?
But if you want to go with desires,
they're below.
They're lower level, right?
So what do you need to do to
get to the desires?
Just let go.
Let go of all these restrictions, all these
morals, all these akhlaaq and manners, and you
find yourself just sinking and immersing yourself in
the whole thing.
So you need to resist the ma'asiyah,
the sin, and also resist in performing the
ibadah to do it perfectly.
The third level of mujahada, qal as-sabru
ala aqdarillah.
To exercise patience in the face of the
qadr of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, which
means the decree.
The decree of what?
The decree of sickness, the decree of destruction,
the decree of fire.
And I have no control over it.
But I need to exercise the utmost level
of patience in the face of all these
things.
That's part of the mujahada, and this hadith
speaks about these two things.
That you resist when it comes to staying
away from the shahwat that leads to jahannam.
And also you resist by keeping steadfast on
the path that leads to jannah.
Even though it's hard and difficult, but you
still need to do that.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us
firm on the path to jannah, ya rabbal
alameen.
And protect us from the path that leads
to jahannam.
Wallahu a'lam.
Any questions?
All right.
Guys, keep in mind that tonight is going
to be cold, freezing cold.
Temperature is going to drop.
