[SPEAKER_00]: will I get married or not?
[SPEAKER_00]: Am I children going to be good?
[SPEAKER_00]: Will I have enough money?
[SPEAKER_00]: Am I going to have a house?
[SPEAKER_00]: Will Allah give me children?
[SPEAKER_00]: How will my health be?
[SPEAKER_00]: And I begin by saying that human beings in general, there worries and anxieties revolve around two matters.
[SPEAKER_00]: What are these two matters?
[SPEAKER_00]: The human being.
[SPEAKER_00]: All our fears and worries and anxieties revolve around two matters.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything around them.
[SPEAKER_00]: What are they?
[SPEAKER_00]: They are death.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're always knowing that all times running out, we're going to die.
[SPEAKER_00]: Those worries and anxiety of the future death.
[SPEAKER_00]: And number two, our health and wealth.
[SPEAKER_00]: Will I have enough money?
[SPEAKER_00]: Will I be healthy enough?
[SPEAKER_00]: And the last one of the ala has taught us how to minimize that stress and that worry.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I begin with the verse of the Qur'an first of all, which is in sort of fifty-one verse, twenty-two.
[SPEAKER_00]: Very quickly, Allah says, I will be lay him in a shaytan, irra, jimi, Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim.
[SPEAKER_00]: Allah says, and in the heaven is your provision and also what you are being promised.
[SPEAKER_00]: In the heaven, in the heavens, meaning from Allah the has written in the low-helma-full in the preserved tablet above in the heavens.
[SPEAKER_00]: Every single person sustenance their livelihood and their provision.
[SPEAKER_00]: All the rain that drops on the earth, all the sustenance and the resources and everything that comes to us as human beings in this world has already been decided and it is written in a preserved tablet in the heavens.
[SPEAKER_00]: No one can change it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It has ended.
[SPEAKER_00]: It has been written that the pages are closed.
[SPEAKER_00]: The ink has dried and it is set.
[SPEAKER_00]: The second part of this verse, and whatever you are promised, that's talking about both believers and non-believers, that the day of judgment is coming, and the promise that Allah has given, that the day of judgment will come, accountability will come about, and then Allah will judge, and rule, and sentence, who deserves what?
[SPEAKER_00]: Paradise or Hellfire, punishment or reward, forgiveness or consequence.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a promise from Allah, it's a word.
[SPEAKER_00]: It will come.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so this world begins to become like a mirage or an imagination.
[SPEAKER_00]: And truly this world will become like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: My brothers and sisters, the hadith presented to us as insahibullahari, and I'll quote it to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Prophet ﷺ said, the matter of creation of a human being is put together in the womb of the mother in forty days.
[SPEAKER_00]: When your mother first conceives you, when you are a drop of sperm mixed with your mother's egg, and you become a little tiny embryo, or whatever it is, for forty days you stay that way.
[SPEAKER_00]: The process that I'm says, and then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period for another forty days.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's now eighty days.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you change your form slightly.
[SPEAKER_00]: and then a piece of flesh for a similar period become like a little flesh with no face yet just something that is a creature that cannot be identified very well except of course with new technology for another forty days that's a hundred and twenty days then he said then Allah sends an angel who is ordered to write four things
[SPEAKER_00]: He is ordered to write down his, meaning the new creature in Nastamik, you and I, to write down your deeds.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything you're ever going to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number two, his livelihood.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything you're going to earn in your lifetime.
[SPEAKER_00]: His date of death, exactly when you're going to die, it will not be changed.
[SPEAKER_00]: And whether he or she will be blessed or registered in religion,
[SPEAKER_00]: Then the soul is breathed into him or her.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's when you become a living being with a soul and a body, one hundred and twenty days.
[SPEAKER_00]: What does this mean that Allah has written all this stuff?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because a person can look at that and say,
[SPEAKER_00]: So, everything I do, Allah decided it, I have no choice, the answer is no, it's the other way round.
[SPEAKER_00]: Allah's knowledge of you in your future, he knows what you're going to do, and he tells the angel at that point, write down what I already know, in other words, that has been written in the preserved tablet.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why does Allah write it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because there is a wisdom.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a way that Allah runs this world and the way the system works.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number one, Allah spent our nose, then he writes, then he preserves, then he creates, then he makes it happen.
[SPEAKER_00]: The way he makes it happen is the first of all, it is written.
[SPEAKER_00]: Where's it written?
[SPEAKER_00]: Allah only knows.
[SPEAKER_00]: By whom?
[SPEAKER_00]: By the angels.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because the angels have a job to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to carry out certain things.
[SPEAKER_00]: That are going to facilitate what happens in your life.
[SPEAKER_00]: Based on what?
[SPEAKER_00]: Based on Allah's prayer and knowledge of what you're going to become.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like a time machine going to the future, seeing what you're going to do, and in writing, everything you're going to do, and then coming back into the past, and there you have it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have a report of what you're going to do in your future.
[SPEAKER_00]: Allah does that because it gets created.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the only way things get created by Allah, knowing them, writing them, creating them, willing them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Therefore, your deeds are your choice.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number two, his livelihood.
[SPEAKER_00]: All the provision you're going to get has been set by Allah.
[SPEAKER_00]: how much money you're going to earn throughout your life, the time that you have, the resources that you're going to get, the health that you're going to have, all the different types of provisions that you're going to get in your life.
[SPEAKER_00]: There have been set within a boundary, again, based on Allah's knowledge, and a few other things we're going to explain.
[SPEAKER_00]: And also, your time of death
[SPEAKER_00]: There are people who try to take their own life, but they don't die.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there are those who are lost from a dial that allows to die when they take their life, but they'll have a consequence for that.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's another story.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's up to a lot of judge them.
[SPEAKER_00]: But why I mentioned that?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's to show you that just in case someone says, but if their date of death is written, we have no control about those who take their life.
[SPEAKER_00]: I say to you, that's only with a lost permission.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there are those who don't want to take their life, but they still die.
[SPEAKER_00]: And in the end, everybody will meet their death one way or another, it is inevitable.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been written before you were even born.
[SPEAKER_00]: And lastly, whether you're rich or blessed, what does that mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: It means whether you're going to be from the people of Paradise or Hellfire, what does that mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: It means Allah knows what you're going to do and where you're going to end up.
[SPEAKER_00]: You might ask him, why would Allah create us?
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not our business to ask a lot about himself.
[SPEAKER_00]: Allah is nothing like us, but it is for us.
[SPEAKER_00]: There is a wisdom why He created us and put us in this world and here we are.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it is written and created and everything comes to being.
[SPEAKER_00]: You start living it out.
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, it's all based on your choice as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it and say, this person is going to pray, this person is not going to pray because I want them to pray or I want them to pray.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love doesn't do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love just right what you are going to do in the future.
[SPEAKER_00]: But now that we've said this hadith, you could see this format as every single one of them is called in Arabic, which means sustenance and provision.
[SPEAKER_00]: What does it actually mean in Arabic, in Islam and in Arabic language?
[SPEAKER_00]: It literally means anything that you receive that benefits you.
[SPEAKER_00]: I repeat one more time.
[SPEAKER_00]: That is mentioned.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I put an hour, one hundred and twenty-eight times or so.
[SPEAKER_00]: Means anything that you receive that benefits you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Unfortunately, the majority of people when they talk about provision and there is what's the only thing they think about or majority of people, what's what do they focus on?
[SPEAKER_00]: Money.
[SPEAKER_00]: Is money the only thing that benefits us?
[SPEAKER_00]: It benefits, but is it the only thing?
[SPEAKER_00]: I will argue with you, and lots of scholars argue that it's among the last ones.
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people say money brings you happiness.
[SPEAKER_00]: It brings you some happiness, yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's not all the happiness.
[SPEAKER_00]: So provision and sustenance comes in many different ways and types.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why do I say this?
[SPEAKER_00]: Some people have more money than others.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just because you have less money than someone else does not mean that Allah is not looking after you in other ways.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if you start thinking only money, then you've restricted your entire life and your happiness to just that.
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a very shallow thinking and very narrow thinking.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll give you an example.
[SPEAKER_00]: A person cannot make money if they don't have the intelligence.
[SPEAKER_00]: A person cannot make money if they don't learn how to make it.
[SPEAKER_00]: A person cannot make money from areas that they want to get into without having the knowledge and the skill for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: A person cannot make money if they don't have the opportunity.
[SPEAKER_00]: A person cannot make money if, for example, they want to get into an area that requires health, but they're not healthy.
[SPEAKER_00]: So everybody has their own sustenance in a way that Allah knows you need it and use that to your advantage as much as you can.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't mean everybody's exactly the same.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't mean just because you're not rich, it doesn't mean Allah is not looking after you.
[SPEAKER_00]: So change first of all the mindset that it is not just money.
[SPEAKER_00]: Money is just just the means to something else.
[SPEAKER_00]: For example, if you have connections, that's wealth.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have connections with other people with power for people that's wealth.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have a really good way of communicating communication as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: People are making amazing, you know, careers out of insignificant things such as knowing how to use AI and the internet, social media, isn't that correct?
[SPEAKER_00]: So the idea is that it is not just money, but it's a whole lot of different types will go through them in shallow.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, anything a person benefits from is called risk.
[SPEAKER_00]: Benefit from in your livelihood and for a Muslim also in your hereafter.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some people forget that there is provision and sustenance is also for you hereafter.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me explain to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: In the Qur'an, when Allah ﷻ says, where is Qur'ab because He ﷻ doesn't want to evoke, there is the provision, the sustenance, the gift which Allah gives you is far better and more everlasting.
[SPEAKER_00]: What's he talking about here?
[SPEAKER_00]: Every time Rizq is mentioned in the Quran that Allah gives it to you, it generally means paradise, janna.
[SPEAKER_00]: janna is better than anything that you can ever imagine, and it is everlasting.
[SPEAKER_00]: Which risk would you like?
[SPEAKER_00]: A temporary sustenance or an everlasting sustenance?
[SPEAKER_00]: Which one would you choose?
[SPEAKER_00]: A everlasting or temporary everlasting?
[SPEAKER_00]: Would you prefer a sustenance that's everlasting?
[SPEAKER_00]: And better?
[SPEAKER_00]: then a temporary and less worthy one, or would you prefer a temporary less worthy than an everlasting better one?
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, you want the latter.
[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever lasting and better and far more greater worth.
[SPEAKER_00]: So for us, let's begin from here.
[SPEAKER_00]: A Muslim works backwards.
[SPEAKER_00]: The ultimate sustenance that we are after is the everlasting ultimate best sustenance, which the end is Jan.
[SPEAKER_00]: because we're all going to die.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, who's worse?
[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody accumulates a lot and then has to leave it all behind.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's buried in that little tiny hole in the ground.
[SPEAKER_00]: Or a person who has much more to look for, for to be on their death.
[SPEAKER_00]: Person has more to look for with beyond their death.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is our belief in Hamdirullah's Muslims.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is just a testing life here.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just a means.
[SPEAKER_00]: Money is a means.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is because a means.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's some happiness.
[SPEAKER_00]: So here are the types of risk that's mentioned in the Quran and in Hadiths and different types of statements from scholars.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it comes material and immaterial.
[SPEAKER_00]: The material is obviously many things like money, gold, silver, food, clothing, farm, livestock home and so on.
[SPEAKER_00]: The immaterial risk sustenance and provision and things that people, Allah gives people is things like intelligence, knowledge, connections, health, status, inherently good character.
[SPEAKER_00]: looks, family, even love.
[SPEAKER_00]: Love is risk.
[SPEAKER_00]: You are granted that from Allah SWT.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can work on it, but the granting of it is from Allah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So brothers and sisters, it is far wider.
[SPEAKER_00]: then the narrow mindset that most people think of when they say only money.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, what is money?
[SPEAKER_00]: Money is a currency which we as human beings gave importance to.
[SPEAKER_00]: Otherwise, there's nothing important about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: We made it important.
[SPEAKER_00]: Isn't that correct?
[SPEAKER_00]: So brothers and sisters, broaden your mindset and watch your provision and your sustenance and your happiness and your content.
[SPEAKER_00]: also grow wider.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that you don't look at someone else and say, man, they drive a better car than mine.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you start feeling that you've been betrayed.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, they may have a better car.
[SPEAKER_00]: You may have better skills.
[SPEAKER_00]: They may have more money.
[SPEAKER_00]: You may have better connections.
[SPEAKER_00]: They may have a nicer house, you may have greater intelligence.
[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever it is, this is all part of risk.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is why Rasulullah said that he told us, the way to contentment and to seeing everything in a good way is one of the strategies is try not to focus on those who've got more than you in a particular area.
[SPEAKER_00]: But rather look at those who have less than you,
[SPEAKER_00]: in a particular area.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he said, and does that or no matter lie here, I lay come.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if you keep looking at people who've got more than you, you will then fail to see the blessings which you already have, which they don't have.
[SPEAKER_00]: That is how we start becoming ungrateful to Allah by not recognizing what Allah has given us because we're focusing on one thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's upon Allah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'd rather than sisters, we begin with that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's basically what it is.
[SPEAKER_00]: And where does it come from?
[SPEAKER_00]: Where does it come from?
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's the one?
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, sustenance has to come from somebody.
[SPEAKER_00]: He either comes from yourself, or he can come from the universe.
[SPEAKER_00]: He can come from people, and come from your parents, or he can come from Allah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is the source of everything that is given to us in Allah?
[SPEAKER_00]: Muslims believe it is Allah.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is the source of everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: Who provided your parents?
[SPEAKER_00]: Who provided your employer?
[SPEAKER_00]: Who provided the earth that is growing for you?
[SPEAKER_00]: Who brings the rain down from the clouds above and makes the crops grow for you?
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is the one who gives you water?
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is the one who gives you protection in the universe?
[SPEAKER_00]: A drought happens?
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is the only one that can save you from it?
[SPEAKER_00]: We come together, we try, but at the end of the day Allah is the one that provides the sustenance.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is the source.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we are first and foremost grateful to the source who is Allah, Subhanahu wa Dahlah.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you are not grateful to him, then watch poverty come to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't mean poverty money only.
[SPEAKER_00]: poverty remember.
[SPEAKER_00]: We said there is a whole lot of things.
[SPEAKER_00]: You may have a lot of money, but you will be the most miserable person.
[SPEAKER_00]: You may have a lot of money, but maybe your family is dysfunctional and disunited.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you've lost sense of fulfillment and purpose in life, who are you?
[SPEAKER_00]: Where are you going?
[SPEAKER_00]: Perhaps when death comes to you, you'll be the most miserable and most scared to die, because there's nothing beyond this world.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's terrible, just to live this world and die and that's it.
[SPEAKER_00]: So my brothers and sisters, moving on.
[SPEAKER_00]: I gathered fifteen best types of risk in life.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you have these or most of them, then you are the happiest person in the world.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number one, peace and tranquility of your soul.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number two, purity of your heart.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number three, clarity of your mind.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number four, health of the body.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number five, mental health.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number six, caring and loving parents.
[SPEAKER_00]: Parents will make diet for you like your mother and your father who shows you compassion.
[SPEAKER_00]: There is of happiness, is number seven siblings who love and care for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number eight, righteous and loving children, a progeny who smile to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number nine, a loving spouse, a loving husband or a loving wife.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number ten, an honest and genuine friend.
[SPEAKER_00]: is good risk in this life.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number eleven, email your spiritual health.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number twelve, knowledge and wisdom.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number thirteen, material wealth and money.
[SPEAKER_00]: And number fourteen, a natural respect and acceptance of people for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Due to your good character, which Allah gives you and your personality, you find that people lean towards you and accept you and they like you.
[SPEAKER_00]: But on condition that you're the same in private and in public, that is a sign of good risk.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you have this or part of it, then know that alhamdulillah, you have a wealth of provision that Allah is looking after you with my brother and sisters.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to give you a little case study, a little scenario, and ask you what you think with this question.
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you ready for it?
[SPEAKER_00]: I heard this from one of the scholars, a story about two brothers.
[SPEAKER_00]: One brother, we call him lazy, he's got lazy dependence in Arabic is called da wa Qun.
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember the word da wa Qun, which means to rely on a lot.
[SPEAKER_00]: This one, this kid, he's got da wa Qun, which literally means lazy dependence.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why do anything and relies on others?
[SPEAKER_00]: His other brother, he's the opposite.
[SPEAKER_00]: His proactive,
[SPEAKER_00]: with the Waqqut and you realize on Allah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they had a debate.
[SPEAKER_00]: The one who is proactive says to his brother, get off the couch, start working, you will not receive your sustenance, your risk unless you pursue it, you have to work for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Otherwise you're not going to get it.
[SPEAKER_00]: His other brother says to him the lazy one, he says no.
[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever Allah has written for me is going to come to me even if I sit right here on my couch.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the brother who is believes that you have to work for it goes out and he starts looking for sustenance.
[SPEAKER_00]: On his way he sees a branch of a tree full of apples.
[SPEAKER_00]: outside of someone's farm or backyard onto the road and you know any slam if it's outside on the public road whatever drops you can take it it's public property so there were apples that are dropped and a little bit on the branch he took them and put them into his basket and brought back about fifty or so apples back home looks at his brother and he goes look look at this sorry case of a brother of mine here man taken up
[SPEAKER_00]: His brother looks at him eating the apple and he goes, I told you, you cannot get apple without working.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had to go out seeking and this is why I got the apples.
[SPEAKER_00]: His brother smiles when he goes, you've lost the case.
[SPEAKER_00]: I sat here and the apple came to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now the question is, who's right and who's wrong?
[SPEAKER_00]: The brother who said you have to work for your sustenance, or the one who sat down the sustenance came to him without lifting a finger.
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's wrong?
[SPEAKER_00]: And you want to have a little jab at it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe brother then.
[SPEAKER_00]: Both of them are right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Both of them are wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you may young son, the lazy one is wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: But he got the apple.
[SPEAKER_00]: He got the apple.
[SPEAKER_00]: He can't be wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we just read here that Allah has written yours, isn't that correct?
[SPEAKER_00]: So if he's written yours, you are sure going to get it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is true.
[SPEAKER_00]: You will get yours.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it will chase you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you will not die until you get it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Mark my words.
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a factual belief in the Quran.
[SPEAKER_00]: Every single one of you will not die until whatever has been written for you have received it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And once you received it all,
[SPEAKER_00]: Daniel Daniel.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's kind of right.
[SPEAKER_00]: But at the same time, the other one is also right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Brother, both of them are right halfway.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's combine the two.
[SPEAKER_00]: And answer the question.
[SPEAKER_00]: You see, there are two types of risk which Allah gives you.
[SPEAKER_00]: There is without effort and there is with effort.
[SPEAKER_00]: About seventy percent
[SPEAKER_00]: of the risk which is with effort is a given.
[SPEAKER_00]: And about twenty or thirty percent could be risk without effort.
[SPEAKER_00]: And even if you put the effort, the amount of risk that you're going to get is also very well.
[SPEAKER_00]: It all depends on a lot how much you want to give you.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know the scholars said about both these brothers, they said they are both right, but there's only one difference.
[SPEAKER_00]: The one that went and worked for it, he gets the reward from Allah, while the other one who sat there gets nothing from Allah.
[SPEAKER_00]: He only gets the apple, whereas the other one gets the apple, and the rewards of the year after.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he gets more apples in paradise.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is the meaning of the verses in the Qur'an and the stem is the Prophet ﷺ, that the person who gives is better than the person who receives.
[SPEAKER_00]: The person who supports is better than the person who is dependent, always.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, a lot of Hano wa Dahlah gave that person who was sitting down an apple.
[SPEAKER_00]: How often do you think this will happen if he stays with that attitude though?
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got a much smaller chance of having as much as his brother.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because Allah has also made the system of life to be that
[SPEAKER_00]: Majority of your risk will come through your working wide because Allah wants you to act.
[SPEAKER_00]: He wants you to work because that's what He created for you for.
[SPEAKER_00]: He created you to do, to work, to move.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's how He rewards you.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the whole purpose of life.
[SPEAKER_00]: Reward you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do the right thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Help other people.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you do everybody just sat there, what's the difference?
[SPEAKER_00]: What's the purpose of life anymore?
[SPEAKER_00]: So Allah has made your is dependent on number one.
[SPEAKER_00]: What he decides to give you, that will not change.
[SPEAKER_00]: And number two, partly also, you're seeking and your pursuit.
[SPEAKER_00]: As for the rest of it, yes, your is called still come to you, Samu, by you sitting down.
[SPEAKER_00]: Example, if a person inherited a larger amount of wealth from their parents who passed away, you didn't do anything, they did everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you inherited it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You didn't lift the finger.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it is from Allah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hamdulillah.
[SPEAKER_00]: A person can go fishing, you fish, fish, fish.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you may come with fish, you may not come with fish.
[SPEAKER_00]: Isn't that right?
[SPEAKER_00]: That's also it is from Allah.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can think about the title waves.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can think about the timing.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can think of, you know, get some information.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can use your resources.
[SPEAKER_00]: But at the end of the day, the quality, the outcome is to, to Allah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But Allah never leaves anyone out.
[SPEAKER_00]: My brothers and sisters, here are some things I wrote about this second part, but Allah's Pano Dahlah gives you the risk that comes from your effort.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number one, sometimes Allah looks into, well, first and foremost, Allah looks into your future and knows what you're going to seek.
[SPEAKER_00]: and what you're not going to seek.
[SPEAKER_00]: And based on that, he writes what you will be allowed to get out of what you seek, and will you not allow to get out of your seeking.
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you don't get what you intended, just say Kabbal al-Lawam asha'if al-Fam.
[SPEAKER_00]: My Lord has pre-measured on what he wills he does.
[SPEAKER_00]: Alhamdulillah, whatever he wills for me is insha'Allah better.
[SPEAKER_00]: move forward, move on, don't think about the past, rely on Allah because you're moving forward towards the hereafter.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number two, sometimes what you will get is through Haran means.
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you know that?
[SPEAKER_00]: If you did something Haran to earn your money in Haran in a forbidden way, you may get it as well with the permission of Allah and that is called the risk.
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a provision as well, but there's a big problem with that one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Allah may allow for you to earn your money and your wealth and your provision and your resources from Haram.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that would be based on your choice, meaning that Allah is not only going to choose that choice, and he allowed it to come to you through the choice that you made.
[SPEAKER_00]: You could have done a halad, you could have done a Haram.
[SPEAKER_00]: That is what was written for you, but he allowed you to go either way.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he knew you're going to go through the Haram, so he permitted it.
[SPEAKER_00]: within his wisdom.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it really is your choice.
[SPEAKER_00]: You could have done a halal, you could have done a haram, and you did a haram Allah may allow it, but you will suffer its consequence by being judged about it and either forgiven or punished by Allah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you may even suffer consequence in this life and also the hereafter.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you could steal that thousand dollars and it will come to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: But Allah has already written for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Had you worked in the halal way, it was still going to come to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is will come to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: But your choice of how you went about it in some cases may be that Allah will allow you to earn it in Haram.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number three, sometimes you don't seek it in Haram.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't seek it in Haram.
[SPEAKER_00]: You seek it in halal.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you still don't get what you really wanted.
[SPEAKER_00]: You might say,
[SPEAKER_00]: When I make Nick's door, my cousin's so-and-so, he's got a big tobacco farm.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got a big marijuana farm, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're getting away with a lot, and they're making millions.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm sitting here working in my, this job that I have when I'm struggling and striving, and I'm not even getting, you know, two percent of what he or she is getting.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not fair, I might as well go and work in Haram.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes you don't seek it in Haran, but then you say to yourself, if only I took the Haran means, I'll be like my cousin, I'll be like my mate.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that means you were not meant to have it, that's number one, you were not meant to have it anyway.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that if you went to the Haran, it would be written against you and you still weren't here.
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you look back and you say, hmm, if I had worked in the marijuana business, in the drug business,
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the last twenty years of my life could have been a billionaire.
[SPEAKER_00]: The fact that you are not a billionaire means no matter what you could have done, you were never going to be a billionaire in the last twenty years.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was not written.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't look backwards.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, you've got a choice to change and say, I'm going to go through the heart on you.
[SPEAKER_00]: May not get it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess what it comes with a consequence.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some people, a lost panel at the aisle are let's you go.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes a lost option.
[SPEAKER_00]: If Allah stops you, thank Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ad.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't say you've only.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't have that narrow mindset.
[SPEAKER_00]: If Allah lets you go into the haran, you should be concerned.
[SPEAKER_00]: You should be concerned.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Prophet ﷺ used to teach us a beautiful Dhaha.
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, Allahumma inni as al-Lukha, al-Jannat al-Mal-Korraba ilayha min kawlin al-Hamil al-Allayha ask you for paradise and everything that leads me closer to it of words and actions that I do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Guide me to those words, guide me to those actions.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, they'll become in a narrow, warm al-Korraba ilayha min kawlin al-Hamil.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I seek refuge in you a lot of protecting me from the fire and all the words and actions that will get me closer to it.
[SPEAKER_00]: But if a lot allows a person to go into Haram and lets him go and you're enjoying this great money, don't ever think for one minute that this is a blessing from Allah my brother and sister.
[SPEAKER_00]: For it could be your punishment that is being prepared for you in Nihir after or probably even in this life.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then there are people who are lost of Hano at the aisle, just let them have whatever they want to have in Haram or Halal and he leaves them to themselves.
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are the people who just don't care about Allah and people who don't even believe in Allah.
[SPEAKER_00]: You might think, how come they're more wealthy?
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't ever make that mistake.
[SPEAKER_00]: Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, He tells us in the Quran, and do not ever assume.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do not ever assume that those
[SPEAKER_00]: Who you see are receiving more in this life while they are against Allah, they are disbelievers in Allah, they are, and some of them are evil or bad, don't ever think that this is a blessing from Allah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But rather it could be that Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, has just allowed them to take their share in this world because in hereafter they will have nothing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing.
[SPEAKER_00]: And if they say anything Allah will say to them, I already gave you your share.
[SPEAKER_00]: You took it all in the form of world.
[SPEAKER_00]: The sad thing is you'll never go back to it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Or it could be that Allah Spano at the Isle is giving this person well for another wisdom.
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know what's going on in their life.
[SPEAKER_00]: And what pathway Allah's Pantalla is leading and using this person for someone else.
[SPEAKER_00]: That person could accumulate all the wealth and never enjoy it, and then die and leave those billions for someone else to work it because maybe Allah has a plan.
[SPEAKER_00]: Shabun says does not ever look at that.
[SPEAKER_00]: He says the Prophet ﷺ, whenever allow yourself to look outside at the wealth and the accumulations of what they have, meaning the enemies who fought the Prophet ﷺ.
[SPEAKER_00]: Zahar at al-Hayat in dunya.
[SPEAKER_00]: They are only receiving a temporary flower of this world.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a metaphor.
[SPEAKER_00]: What's a flower?
[SPEAKER_00]: But those of you know how a flower grows.
[SPEAKER_00]: Does it last?
[SPEAKER_00]: Does it blossom for very long?
[SPEAKER_00]: How long does a flower stay in its beauty and it's nice smell?
[SPEAKER_00]: a few days, and then it withers away.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's how a lot of scribes is in Thai world.
[SPEAKER_00]: So as this world is like a flower, kid grows blossoms, everyone looks at it is nice, but it looks nice, it smells nice, and then what happens?
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't last for it withers away any crumbles, as if it was never existing.
[SPEAKER_00]: So what's my dad says, then look at them, those who are enemies to Allah?
[SPEAKER_00]: What is Arabic, Arabic?
[SPEAKER_00]: Allah has for you is far better and more everlasting.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, of course, in Muslim, there doesn't mean that you don't go after provision and get wealthy in this world.
[SPEAKER_00]: You could have both worlds.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I've mentioned before that seven out of ten of the companions, who are mentioned in one continuous Hadith by the Prophet ﷺ, who are promised paradise, you know, the ten promised paradise.
[SPEAKER_00]: There are more, there are more who are promised paradise.
[SPEAKER_00]: But these are the ten mentioned in a row, in one setting.
[SPEAKER_00]: That also sounds so and so and so and so and so and so and so is in paradise.
[SPEAKER_00]: Seven out of ten of them were extremely wealthy with money, but they used it for the sake of Allah.
