The speaker discusses the meaning of Easter and the concept of Easter being a prison for believers. He uses a similar analogy to the situation of the poor Jew who approached a coworker with a shara of Saibukharia.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			And a beloved prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			sallam said that this world for the believer
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			is like a prison. Yeah. And for the
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			unbeliever
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			it is like paradise.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			So there was
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			a poor Jew
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:13
			who approached
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			halfway with Nejraskalani,
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			the famous scholar, who wrote the shara of
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			Saibukharia at this time.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			When and when he was walking
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			in the marketplace, you know, on his mule
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			with his big entourage.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			So this poor Jew comes and catches his
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			mule and says your prophet said this,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			that this world
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			is a prison
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			for the believer. Yes, sir. And for the
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38
			unbeliever,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			it's paradise. It's paradise. I'm a poor man.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			My clothes are torn, tattered. You're so rich.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			You're having all the luxury. How can you
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			explain to me
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			this hadith of your prophet?
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:50
			So
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			said that I know what awaits for a
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			believer.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			In the year after, paradise. That's right. And
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			if you compare paradise
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			to any human being living in this world,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			you may be the richest man.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			You may be the king. But compared to
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			the life in paradise, which is 1,000,000 times
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			better,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			this is like a prison. If we know
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			the * he's going to go in, even
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			if the poorest man here, yet this will
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			be paradise had compared to hereafter.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			So if you understand this hadith, that late
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			life is a test,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			then you will not strive to acquire wealth
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			Mhmm. Or power Mhmm. Or status. You strive
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			to get benefit in the Yeah. Akhara. That's
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			it. That's right.
