Continuing
with the Islamic education level four
and the diseases of the heart. It's a
subject that we ought to really give it
its importance and to work on our hearts
to elevate and to purify our hearts from
its diseases. One of these diseases is
the love of this worldly life. And we'll
explain what that means because this is
something that we are born with. You
know, no one can deny that he love the
life that he lives in. So, but what is
the sinful one? What is the what is the
one that causes that disease in the
heart? First of all, what is the reality
of this life that we love so much? What
is this life about? No one would inform
us about this life better than Allah
subhana t. Allahh says
[Music]
this life is nothing but play,
entertainment, amusement, uh adorning
oneself. Uh having this competition
between one another, who's better, who's
wealthier, who's healthier, having the
competition of who have more of the
wealth and the offsprings. And this is
exactly like the rain when the Tyler and
the people that have lands would like
the the plants when it grows and then it
becomes yellow and then it's destroyed.
This is how life is the cycle that a
person from the moment he was born then
the youth and the strength and the
worldly gain and and so on and then he
returns to olden age if he lives and
then he dies. So and in the hereafter is
a severe punishment and a forgiveness
from Allah. This life is nothing but an
enjoyment that is temporary deceiving
enjoyment. And the prophet was he said
this worthy life is sweet and it's
green. But
Allahh will see you when you live on it.
You know what you going to do with it.
Therefore, we are in a test.
Shield yourself from this worldly life
that can take you away from the
fulfilling the purpose of this life and
shield yourself from the fna of women
because the first fitna of was in women
and many hadith of the prophetat that
talks about the reality of this life.
If this life was equal to the wing of a
a mosquito or a bug to Allah subhana t,
he would not give even a sip of water to
the disbeliever. That means it's way
less than that less than a wing in a in
a fly. So why you're giving it more
importance to it when Allah subhana t
this is the level of this life and
the is the prison of the believer and
the ja of the disbeliever. Jenna in the
sense that he follow his desires
whatever he wants he gets and the real
Jenna in the hereafter for the believers
and the s is not a prison in a way that
a person living a miserable life because
the talks about the believers having
goodly life but it's the fact that a
person does not do anything whatever he
desires he follows what Allahh wants
from him and the many verses and hadith
of the prophetat was that shows the
reality of this life you have something
fixed with numbers of years versus an
everlasting life. What's the ratio
between both? Is nothing. It's zero.
This life is considered to be nothing
compared to the hereafter. That's what
the prophet said
by Allah. This worthy life compared to
the hereafter
except
is exactly when someone of you would put
his hand in the water in the ocean in
the sea. Then he takes his hand uh off
how much water he gets in his hand. This
is this worthy life compared to the
hereafter. So put things in the right
perspective according to what Allahhana
tala wants from us. So when a person
knows these texts these nus what
happens? He won't have that love for
this world that makes the person sinful
and follow his desires. And that's why
the the condemned love of this world
which is not any love is the one that
makes the person so much focused on this
worldly life and nothing else. You know
the the person has has
he said something he said
that people will be always their necks
is all focused and rigid and stiff in
seeking matters of the right and seeking
matters of duny for the hereafter or
seeking the rewards from Allahhana in
the hereafter by actions of the duny
person wants to have faith came among
the people by being obedient to Allah or
money as a result of to Allah subhana wa
tala. So having the luxurious life in in
excessiveness that makes a person
overlook the hereafter. The love of this
wealth, the love of status, the love of
being honored and to have fame. Allahh
says
that indeed this worldly
or the hereafter is Allahh made it for
those who do not seek any
high status in this earth in a way of
being arrogantly turned against others
and no corruption and the outcome the
end is definitely for the believers
and the worst destructive things to
one's religion as the prophetat wasam he
said is a person's stinginess and
eagerness to attain money for example so
he doesn't m it doesn't matter to him
whether he gets it from haram or to
attain status on the face of earth and
this is what the prophetat he said
that means two hungry wolves are set
free to a flock of sheep how much
destruction they would do to this flock
of sheep. This is how the destruction of
one's religion when he when a person is
eager to have money. This is his most
concern and the to attain status in this
life. This is basically what a person
would have uh you know as a result of
that of the love of this worldly
matters. So uh when it comes to the
means to uh you know why would a person
have means to love this dunya there are
so many means one one of which is the
zena is the adorement of this life and
uh the adorement of this life and how
Allah subhana t created it to be a test
for the human beings and he warned us
as we heard in the hadith it's beautiful
it's sweet but Allahhana ta is seeing
what you're doing with this worldly
life. Are you going to follow the
commands of Allah? He's the one that
created this life and he told you this
is halal, this is haram. Stay away from
the haram. Do what's halal and don't
have your heart attached to it because
the hereafter, the everlasting life is
what you're being called to seek rewards
from Allah subhana wa t'ala in which is
the hereafter.
And this is one of the means why would a
person love this worldly life so much is
this adorement and its goodness that
it's seen. the one's self is inclining
towards it you know and the prophetat
was he said
no matter how old you get the heart of
an old man it's young upon two things
the love of this worldly life he wants
to live longer and the love of having
more wealth and the fact is that you
would never be satisfied with worldly
gain as the prophetat wasam he said
If the son of Adam has a valley of gold,
he would love to have another valley of
gold.
And none would fill the mouth and the
satisfaction of the human beings except
the dust. Meaning when he's put in the
grave
and Allahh accept the repentance from
whoever he wills. Subhanah wa ta'ala. uh
one of these things that shows the
reason and the means why we have the
love of this worldly life over the
hereafter which is condemned is to make
the and to choose the immediate one
versus the one that is coming later.
Allahh gave us the ability to choose
what's the end of things if this if it's
better than the present one. So as
Allahh says,
you choose this worthy life and the
hereafter is better and it's forever.
It's an everlasting one. So basically
the corruption in one's immen, the
corruption in one's religion, the
corruption in one's reasoning that a
person wants to do something in haste
rather than waiting for the everlasting
joy that Allah subhana ta prepared for
the believers. So uh how to protect
ourselves and how to really uh follow
the way of the prophetat was that
requires patience. That's why by knowing
the corruption or the things that
corruption happens as a result of the
love of this worldly life. We'll talk
about that inshall next time and we ask
Allahh to protect us from all harm.
