We're always sacrificing in this dunya for one

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

thing or the other, right?

00:00:03 --> 00:00:04

We give up from our time, from our

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

health, from our sleep, from our energy, from

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

our effort, from our knowledge to achieve certain

00:00:10 --> 00:00:10

goals, right?

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

We want to get this degree, we want

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

to get this house, we want to marry

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

this person, we want to, I don't know,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

travel where, we want to raise our kids,

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

whatever, put them in whatever school, so we

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20

sacrifice and these are all great and noble

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

and amazing goals and they're halal and permissible,

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26

mashaAllah, but the problem is when we get

00:00:26 --> 00:00:30

overly consumed in achieving these goals that are

00:00:30 --> 00:00:33

temporary, by the way, they're not everlasting and

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

we forget what we should be really focused

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

on sacrificing for.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

Yes, sacrifice for these things, but there's a

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

much important or more important, sorry, much more

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

important mission that we're trying to get to

00:00:44 --> 00:00:48

and that is Jannah, eternity in Jannah.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

Make sure when you're putting all that effort

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

that it's not only going to worldly goals,

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

but also for what is really worthy of

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

sacrificing for.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

What is more worthy than Jannah, right?

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06

Whenever you give up something next time, ask

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

yourself, is it really worth my time that

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

I'm giving up?

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

Is it worth my energy?

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

Is it worth my money, right?

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

It's so important that we don't just get

00:01:15 --> 00:01:19

consumed in sacrificing for things without knowing what

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

their real worth is in the eyes of

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:27

Sacrifice for what is worthy of your sacrifice.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

As-salamu alaykum.
