 شعرت شموس الهديب الكلمات فأنا رت الأفهم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والصلاة والسلام على سيدنا ونبينا محمد وعلى آل بيته الطيبين الطاهرين واللعنة الدائمة على عدائهم أجمعين الله سبحانه وتعالى سرنه the verse in the holy Quran بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ولا تتمنه ما فضل الله به بعضكم على بعضا للرجال نصيب من مكتسب والنساء نصيب من مكتسب وسأل الله من فضله إن الله كان بكل شيء عليما الله سبحانه وتعالى يقول في this holy verse do not desire those in which Allah has given his gifts most freely on some of you than others to men is allotted what they earn and to women is allotted of what they earn but ask Allah for his bounty for Allah has full knowledge in all things what we see in this world today that there is everything that's favored there's what's favored in the life of nature what's favored in the life of animals and what's favored in the life of the human being in fact every creation that Allah has created has been favored one over another even Allah سبحانه وتعالى in the holy Quran in four verses he mentions he says if you realize fruits and vegetables they look differently they have different tastes they come in different sizes and they even differ in their health benefits the second verse Allah says we have preferred some over others the human beings in the third verse Allah سبحانه وتعالى says speaking to the prophets to the messengers he says some prophets exceed others in various ways and in the last ayah Allah سبحانه وتعالى says those messengers some are preferred more than others some exceed and are better than others so you realize that in this world whether we choose it or not there is always the best there is always the better if you're pretty there is what's prettier there is what's smarter if you're tall there is who's taller there is always the best there is always perfect and I think that the one that's most favored and preferred is what's linked to perfection what's most perfect let me give you an example for example the inanimate it tells you why am I an inanimate I want to be a plant and let's just say that we can control this with a pen so we bring all the inaniments and we cross them out with a pen we make them into plants because plants are better than inaniments but the plant says why am I a plant I want to be something more preferred I want to be favored I want to be an animal so we bring a pen and we cross out all the plants what do we have? does this end? what do we have? we have a life with no oxygen no rain, no rocks, no blocks no water to drink if you're thirsty and no oxygen to breathe from you have animals let's see if this ends somewhere the animal tells you why am I an animal I want to be preferred I want to be what's better I want to be a human so you cross out the animals you're left with a human being does this end over here? of course not the human being the human being's body tells you why am I feet I want to be hands so you cross out the feet and you're left with hands the hands tell you I want to be preferred the eyes are better than the hands I want to be eyes the eyes tell you why am I eyes I want to be preferred I want to be a brain the intellect so what are you left with? you're left with a world with nothing but human brains pumping like this therefore in this world there's always who wants to be the best but there has to be A and there has to be B there has to be varieties in everything so the first discussion is the existence of this phenomenon the second discussion is the diagnosis of this phenomenon let's diagnose it say that you want to build a house so what do you do? you need blocks you pick up block A or block B if you pick up block A to start first block B will tell you why didn't you lift me up? why did you choose block A? okay let me give you another example you're running from a tiger in a desert and you run run you reach two paths there's path A and path B which path would you take? if you take path A path B would say why didn't you choose me first? if you choose path B path A would say why didn't you choose me first? so what do you do? you stop there and you let the tiger come and eat you or you're hungry you pick up two pieces of bread to eat which piece would you start first to bite on? bread A or bread B same thing it will never end we have to accept the fact that there is letter A and that there is letter B letter B cannot say why am I not letter A that's it you're letter B A is A and B is B there has to be varieties the third discussion is why is there a preference of this phenomenon whether we accept it or not there always has to be preferences it's available in this world there's always the best there's always better now this ayah this verse that I mentioned is in Surat An-Nisa and I am assuming it's in Surat An-Nisa because one of the problems that we have today in the west is about women why do men have more preference than women? sometimes being equal is not justice there has to be differences it's just like telling the doctor that you have to be even and equal so the doctor gives all his clients, his patients one prescription but that's not being equal it's not being even because those patients they defer in their illnesses so why is the doctor giving them all one prescription because he wants to be equal wants to be even or it's like a teacher giving all her students one mark, one grade but there are students who have studied harder students who deserve a high mark and students who don't but the teacher says I want to be equal sometimes being equal is not being justice there has to be differences if you accept the fact that the men and the women there should be differences in their shape of their body and their feature faces then you should accept that there should be differences in the other things science today has proven that the size of a man's brain is a bit larger than the size of a woman's brain if you accept that scientifically then you should accept that in the Shi'a legislation there are differences between men and women Allah says do not desire what Allah has given men over women or what Allah has given some to men and women don't desire desiring ruins your life number one it's because you're objecting to Allah why did Allah give us this and not give us that why do we have to go through this and not go through that you're objecting Allah's creation don't desire some people they ruin their lives by desiring by just looking at what they don't have and not seeing what good they have we don't have an update on the life of an ant of a crawling ant but scientists have proven or researchers have proven today that a crawling ant is living her life satisfied she's fully satisfied with what Allah has given them all the animals are satisfied with their life except one creation the human beings they're never satisfied they're always living their life miserable depressed now not all of them but the majority of human beings they live miserable depressed they have no energy why it's because they look at what they have that person have this and I don't have this why does that person have that and I don't have that Allah SWT says in this holy verse do not desire what Allah has given men and women one over another Allah has given some to men and some to women so don't desire relax yourself Allah SWT has given you everything but there's one thing that Allah hasn't given you you just think of that one thing why doesn't Allah give me this why don't I have this this is the problem that we see in communities today I am not saying everybody but the majority we see problems because there are people who have fame there are people who are smarter there are people who are prettier there are people who are wealthier and we look at what we don't have so what do we do we plot one another we hate one another we try to destroy one another why is that it's because we desire of what others have and we don't Allah says in this verse do not desire but it doesn't stop here he says ask Allah وصلوا الله من فضله don't desire relax yourself but ask Allah SWT of what you want there's a story of this scholar he's a well-known scholar الشيخ البحباني if you search into his life it's narrated that he was popular he was a scholar he was well-known and most of the مشتهدين were his students he reached 80 years old and he lost his memory now not all of his memory but he felt that he lost his memory so he gathered his students now usually when someone becomes a senior they get depressed because their body changes their sense of hearing their sight changes they feel there's changes in their life so they get depressed now our youth are falling through depression so how about our seniors but this scholar did not get depressed what he did was he gathered his students and he said to them why have lost my memory after reaching this fame after 80 years old he lost his memory we show off a lot in one second Allah SWT can take everything away from us he can take our memory what do we do that's why there is in زيارة السيدة معصومة in her زيارة it says ولا تسلبني من ما أنا فيه do not take away from me the good you have given me because in one minute Allah can take everything away from you that scholar gathered his students he said to them that I have lost my memory they said to him what do we do he said سيد مهدي بحر العلوم للإفداء والمرجعية you be the scholar شيخ جعفر كاشف الغطاء you will be the teacher and سيد عبدالله شبر you will be the person who will pray إمامة الجمع those were his three students his top students they said what would you do he said an eye will teach the beginning of حوزة the beginning of jurisprudence شرح اللمع so he was 80 years old he was the greatest scholar he accepted himself to go down a bit lower and teach the beginners of حوزة he did not close the door on himself he did not get depressed from 80 years of his age to 9 years that's 10 years he taught the beginners of حوزة and he passed away this is how we're supposed to be not desiring because once you desire you ruin your life you ruin your life by being depressed and just looking around what you don't have if a sister if a girl her sister has a good husband or a wealthy husband but she's tested with a husband who's living in poverty all she does say is why does my sister have a good husband he's wealthy and I don't and all they do is look at what they don't have and what others have do you find a solution in this run after the solution there's no solution live happily relax don't desire because Allah سبحانه وتعالى says in this verse don't desire but it did not end here he said you want something ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى if you go to the book of البرهان there is this ayah and the translation of this verse that they asked that what does this verse mean he said that Allah سبحانه وتعالى says do not desire what Allah has given some over others so a woman and a man should not desire what Allah has given one over another but to ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى to have something similar something like it so if you see someone who's smart don't sit down on desire and say why is this person smart and I'm not but ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى ask Allah for his abundance if you see someone who's wealthy don't sit down and say why am I living in poverty and this person is wealthy that's desiring don't desire but ask Allah I want something like it in another حديث سلام الله عليه وسلم he says that in this verse in another narration he said that in this verse Allah سبحانه وتعالى has given everyone certain blessing and there are some blessings that he hasn't given to anybody except those who ask or he has given to some people but for some he hasn't given to them so those people have to ask وسأل الله من فضلة إن الله كان بكل شيء عليما ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى for his bounty for his abundance and indeed Allah سبحانه وتعالى will give you so let's not ruin our life by desiring let's relax our bodies and brains and ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى for what we don't have and Allah سبحانه وتعالى indeed will respond to us وسأل الله على سيدنا ونبينا محمد وعلى آل بيته الطيبين الطاهر الله عطالك حد من الوجود لون من الوجود تفضل الله سبحانه وتعالى عليك بهذا الحد عرفت الحكم في ذلك أو لم تعرف امش في طريقك هذا التمنى عمل مدمر ولا تتمنوا ما فضل الله به بعضكم على بعض
