One of the uh the dangers or the warnings that comes as a result of the love of this world that Allahh warned us from this in the Quran and what is meant by that as we heard is not the thing that is instinct in the in the heart and in the life of the human beings but the love of this worldly life that makes the person forgetful make the person have diseases in his heart not remembering death not choosing the hereafter over this worldly life. So as a result of that the love of this worldly life is always the key for every evil. If you think and you see every evil that get established on the face of earth the root of it is the the love of this worldly life versus the hereafter because a person has long hope in this life not remembering the return to Allah subhana wa ta'ala. So every evil that God committed on the face of earth is because of the as a result of that the love of this worldly life is the reason why that people would disbelief in Allah subhana tala and disobeying Allah subhanaa tala and it's amazing Allahhana tala created us and created this worthy life and instead of people being grateful to Allah subhana wa ta'ala then they become busy with what Allah created for them to worship him so they are busy enjoying themselves and turning away from the worship of Allah subhana wa ta'ala and disobeying Allah subhana tala with what he created for them. Prophetat wasallam he said be in haste to do the good deeds. Why? Because will happen trials and tribulations like the big pieces or the pieces of the dark nights. A man would be in the morning a believer. The night comes he's a disbeliever. Or night time he's a believer. In the morning he's a disbeliever. Why is that? He sells his religion and in return he gets some apparent things of this worldly life that makes a person fall into fall into disobeying Allah subhana t the love of this worldly life that is so short and you know has no benefit to it compared to the hereafter unless it's for the sake of Allah also the the forgetfulness in the heart to be away from the from the hereafter and therefore a person would not fulfill the commands of Allah subhana t the way it ought to be because as one of the narrations of the prophetat whoever loves this worldly life he would harm his after and whoever loves the hereafter this might harm his worldly life. So choose what stays forever over what goes away. And this is the choice and this is the test. You believe in the hereafter, it's the everlasting life. Choose the everlasting one over this temporary one. And if you do that, you won't lose the goodness of this life. You you would actually enjoy the real life of this world, the life of being close to Allah subhana wa t'ala and the life of being obedient to Allah subhana wa tala. uh also one of the things that it's it's from the corruption as a result of the love of the worldly matter is it it takes away from the love of Allahhana tala in the heart you know if the heart is overpowered with the love of this worldly life and the desires and so on it takes away the heart from the love of Allah because the heart supposed to be occupied with the love of Allah and the worship of Allah so it's either or because this heart is a container You cannot uh put, you know, two opposite things in the same container. You cannot drink uh good water in a cup unless you clean it. If it's contaminated with something that is impure, you won't be able to drink it. That's why the sweetness of Alan when many do not have it in their hearts because they already corrupted the container with things that is not sweet and one of which is the love of this world versus the hereafter. And therefore uh the corruption that happens is the heart losses the joy as a result of making remembrance of Allah subhana tala. So this is the nutrition of the soul when a person make remembrance of Allah. So when someone body is sick and he's not able to enjoy food because he's sick physically sick the same thing as one of the early generations of Islam he said the heart when it's sick having diseases in it is not able to taste the nutrition of the heart which which is the remembrance of Allah subhana wa ta'ala because of the love of this worldly life. uh one of the corruption that happens as a result of the love of this worldly life. The constant distress and miseries and a person always feel that they are poor and in need and confused and their matters are dispersed. There's a beautiful hadith of the prophetatam that shows that a way of life to cure our hearts from all kinds of diseases of the heart and one of which the love of this worldly life. Whoever the hereafter is his concern in one of the narrations, whoever wakes up in the morning and the hereafter is his concern. How to enter the Jenna of Allah, how to be saved from the hellfire, how to seek the pleasure of Allah. What happened to that person in that day in his life? First thing that Allahh will enrich his heart, make him rich. That means he's a he's in no need of anyone. And Allahh will bring his affairs together and the worldly life will come to him even if it's against his against what he wants against what she want what it wants comes to him and on the other side the woman whoever the is his concern his worldly life is his concern and this is what he's sad and happy about and so on Allahh will make his poverty between his eyes that means anytime He look he sees himself poor and in need and he would disperse his affairs many different things he can get things done and only comes to him from the worldly matter what Allah decreed for him he's not going to add anything he's not going to get more rich because he's concerned about this worldly life so whoever really understand this hadith and act upon it he's successful in this life and in the hereafter also It takes away the person from the remembrance of Allah. This is a severe corruption to the heart as we mentioned because of the heart is busy with the love of this world and the end of one's life in a bad way. The bad ending of one's life may Allahh protect us because or the bad ending of one's life. Why why is that important? Because as the prophet was he said deeds are by the ending of it. So we have to have our hearts concerned about that how our life will end. And for the bad ending of one's life there are means that people would allow themselves to take these means to lead them to the bad ending of their life. One of which is to be so much indulged into this worldly matter and seeking it and having this stinginess and the greed upon it and turning away from the hereafter and therefore a person will be having this audacity to commit sins and and to oppose the commands of Allah subhana wa ta'ala and things like this. So as a result of that the heart becomes uh polluted and the heart becomes fully under control of one's desire and then you know the the admonition doesn't benefit may Allahh protect us from all diseases of the heart and to make us love this the hereafter more than we have the love of this world and to make us steadfast upon the dean of Allah. We'll continue inshallah next time with more of the subject of the love of this worldly life. [Music] tochech. [Music]
