 اس کے ساتھ سکتے ہیں جو آپ کو بھی ہوئی ہے تو کیوں آپ کو بھی نہیں ہے؟ ہم آپ کو بھی ہوئی ہے تو کیوں آپ کو بھی نہیں ہے؟ now if you take a look at islamic monotheism you would come to realize that Allah's test for us is that we worship Him alone and the most important word is alone singularly one it is known as توحید the oneness of Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ that's what islam is based upon which means it is wrong for us to worship anyone or anything besides He who made us so when you want to render an act of worship two things need to happen one is you need to render it solely for whoever made you whoever created you that's what or that's who you are rendering the act of worship for and that is Allah meaning the worshiped one He is the one I worshiped so whenever I say Allah is the greatest what I'm saying is He who made me is the greatest He who is in control of every aspect of my existence is the greatest He whom I'm going to return to when I die is the greatest that is called worshipping one Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ it doesn't mean there are many Allah's it's just one Allah but we say worshipping He alone now if you take a look at the term لائیلہہ إلہ اللہ محمد الرسول اللہ there was a time when people translated it into the English language saying there is no God but Allah I'm sure you've heard that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad may peace be upon him is his messenger if you take a look at the translation it's not accurate the reason is one might argue there are many gods how can you say there is no God there is no God but Allah someone might say well the Hindus have gods the others have gods people have gods even some of the Muslims worship deities besides Allah out of ignorance or making big mistakes whatever similarly you have Christians who worship the cross some of them worship Jesus who happens to be a creature of Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ even though very noble very lofty and so on so people worship sticks and stones and animals and graves and they call them gods they say the God the son is the God of this and the moon is the God of that and they have the God of whatever else they have God so if you say there is no God it's a statement that one might argue is wrong there are so many gods so what is the proper translation لا معبود بحقن that word بحقن is of essence there is no God worthy of worship besides Allah you saw the difference one says there is no God but Allah someone can say well there are so many gods besides Allah but the point is we don't worship any one of them besides Allah because none of them are worthy of worship besides Allah so now the statement becomes correct there is no God worthy of worship besides Allah do you see where we get that from it's the translation this is why we say in Arabic it's clear when you say لا الہا it means there is no God worthy of worship besides Allah so we need to say it in the English language in the Arabic if we were to interpret it or say it in the long form it would be لا معبود بحقن there is no one worthy of worship besides Allah so this is something very interesting اللہ says نحنو خلاقنا کم we made you how can you worship everything besides us we made you you don't take a risk you should not be taking a risk you should say oh you who made me you are the greatest oh you who made me I put my head on the ground for you oh you who made me you are the one that's it so this is why Allah says نحنو خلاقنا کم فلو لا تصدقون we have created you so why do you not believe افرائیتم ماتم نونا have you seen that which you emit now Allah is drawing our attention to how insignificant man is and how he started off being just a droplet of semen so Allah says have you seen what you emit this is addressing the men folk and addressing human beings at large to say at the point where you were just a droplet of semen Allah says do you see what you emit is it you who created it or we the creator who created it don't come and tell us oh this is nature and it just happened coincidentally we were apes before swinging from tree to tree and so on no no we were not apes maybe those who said it might have been apes not us so this is what it is so one might say well what is the difference now in Islam we believe that human beings and not just Islam Judaism, Christianity share the belief that we were created from Adam and Allah created the form of a human being much bigger much taller than us and he said be and it was he was created Adam may peace be upon him so now there are discoveries of you know fossils and so many other things little old skeletons that are carbon dated to millions of years and they say that man was just like apes so what does Islam say about that because they bring you the whole skeleton and they show you listen here's the evidence where how can you say that it's wrong we are showing it to you in front of your nose so we have a simple answer that was a different species that wasn't man those were real gorillas and apes and whatever else you want so today if someone shows me a fossil of a monkey it doesn't make him a human being you go and see look go to the zoo the one we have nearby here the chimpanzee there looks quite close to human beings so if they found a fossil of a chimpanzee that existed some years back some centuries ago or millions of years ago it doesn't make it evolution of man the chimpanzee still exists and if they've become extinct there are so many species that have become extinct so it doesn't make it man there is no evidence to prove that it wasn't we were not created from Adam so therefore we won't accept it so it's a simple answer to say you are talking of a different species now my mothers and sisters when you talk of evolution what is the meaning of evolution when people say theory of evolution does Islam accept it some people say yes and some people say no the answer is it depends what you are talking about if you are talking of the one part of the theory that states that we were from apes then we reject it totally but if you are speaking of another part of the theory that states that man adapts to his environment then yes Allah says that man does adapt to his environment so you have people who are dark skin in certain areas people who are light skin people who are hairy people who lack that hair and so on people have adapted to different conditions of weather and different conditions of their surroundings yes we definitely do believe that that is a portion of what they call the theory of evolution it doesn't mean we accept the entire theory I hope you follow what I am saying when people speak of this theory we say look whatever Allah has spoken about if it happens to fall within some of what these people have called a theory we will accept it because Allah has said it and as for the part that says that we are from animals and apes and we were not actually human before and you know for that we will disagree and we will say no way we believe in revelation and like I said it's not just the Muslims it's the Jews and the Christians and even people of a few other religious beliefs who will confirm that we were created from a single man thereafter a female and thereafter we spread on to the earth so Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ says that's that droplet of semen did you create it or did we create it we have decreed death among you and we are not to be outdone wow look at the power of Allah Allah says we have decreed death from the time you were in your mother's womb we decreed when you were going to be born when you were going to die which means you are here for a purpose do not fool yourself my mothers and sisters never fool yourself don't fool yourself that I'm here to enjoy to have to theirs to that enjoyment is a gift of Allah that you get a little bit of yes but Allah says we will also let you taste sadness to show you who is the greatest we will also let you go through days when you do not get what you want to show you who is the controller of everything you have we will also let you go through days when your health will be failing to show you who is the controller of health we will also let you go through something known as death to show you that this world was not everything it is definitely just a passing phase a stage, a testing ground and you will cross beyond so Allah says the fact that Allah created or decreed death already should prove to you that you are here on earth for a short purpose or should I say for a short time and a specific purpose Subhan Allah it's amazing and this is why we believe that when a person dies they will go down into their graves that grave is actually a garden from the gardens of paradise or a pit from the pits of hell it's up to you to decide which way you would like to go and you work towards it you have to work towards it you do not work towards what you would like to achieve then how do you expect Allah to give it to you don't just say Allah has already predestined where I am going to go so let me sit back and relax because then the foolishness of sitting back and relaxing would have contributed towards ending where you ended Allah has already written whether you are going to pass your A-levels or not so let me just sit at home well Allah would have written that you are going to be so stupid to sit at home not even in role at a school or college and not even write the exam and you expected the certificate to actually be sent by a fairy fairies Mashallah اللہ سبحانہ و تعالیٰ help us well you will get a job also from the same fairy and you will get also a lot of gold and silver from the same fairy then you can use and you can spend on people who believe in those fairies so Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ is saying we have decreed death among you and we are not to be outdone then Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ says we are not to be outdone in that we will change your likeness and produce you in that form which you do not know now this is something interesting because an alternative meaning has also been written in that form which you do not know now this is something interesting because an alternative meaning has also been given I'm reading the footnote here it says in that we will replace the likes of you with others on earth and create you in the hereafter in that which you do not know so Allah is telling us we have decreed death upon you and when you die we replace you with someone else your great great grandchildren you may never see them they will take your place the house you are living in now if it was built in 1948 like a lot of the houses in this area perhaps a little bit earlier 1948 the houses in belvedere 1945 and so on you don't know who lived there what happened Allah took them away today you are staying there you don't even know what happened many of us don't even know if gruesome murder took place where we are and then we are getting all these nightmares and we don't know why and you don't know you don't know what's gone on but Allah says look it's simple the fact that you don't know who was in this house 20 years back already shows that this life is very temporary very temporary I remember recently I stumbled across photographs of the house I live in many many years back and it looked like such a different place nobody would believe it's the same place that you're living in now because you make these little changes that you don't realize have face lifted the place because you changed it completely Subhan Allah that's a sign to prove to you that you know what you're going to go people after you are going to change things everything is going to change and there will be different people so that's one of the translations is we will replace you with others who are different and another translation is that you will be resurrected in a different body altogether in a way that you right now do not know you just have to believe the creation of the fact that you resurrected in a different body so Allah says we will not be out done we are not to be out done in that we will change your likeness and produce you in a form that you do not know so I've told you there are two translations to that and you have already known the first creation Allah says so will you not remember you've already known the first creation first creation referring to who you are right now and those who were before you you already know you know quite a bit Subhan Allah you take a look at your grandfather the earliest of your forefathers whom you had met think about them you know them don't you you met them where did they go what happened to them or when they speak to you about their folks who are your relatives Allah says this all this is worth thinking about because it should bring you closer to Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ so Allah says will you not remember and the reason why Allah says will you not remember is there comes a time when you cannot remember you don't know you won't remember anything and then Allah says افرائی تُم ما تحرثون you want another sign of the greatness of Allah well have you not seen the seed which you sow you know here in Zimbabwe the land is so Mashallah fertile that if you were to throw seeds even by mistake it would grow whether they're apples or bananas or whatever you've thrown lemon trees and so on it happens so Allah says have you not seen the seed which you sow who made it who created this master plan the seed and the whole tree will grow and when the fruit from that tree grows the inside that fruit or somewhere along that plantation will be seeds that will result in the continuation of the same plantation and the producing of the same fruit or vegetable whatever produce is there continuously just through the seed and this is why there are people now who remove the seeds one of the dangers of it is they begin to control the food in the world there's no seed you open the watermelon take a look at how many seeds they are and we say ooh this one has no seeds it's so sweet it's lovely well there's a problem there because how are you going to plant you're not going to get more you're going to be dependent on someone who took those seeds away so don't get too excited we have seedless oranges wow lovely you know the bite bridge oranges sweet sweetest ever seedless someone's controlling somewhere enjoy the seeds if I were you crush them bite them eat them swallow them a little bit of roughage will do you good insha Allah when I was a kid I remember we used to swallow these watermelon seeds and we were told that you know you better watch your ears because greenery will start growing from the little stem will shoot out of your ears and as we grew older a few hairs perhaps popped out of our ears Allah forgive us so Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ is showing us his gift he says have you not seen the seeds which use you so is it you who makes it grow or are we the grower Allah is telling you pause oh man sit for a while think the greatness of Allah who causes the seed to grow is it you or is it us this is why they say reading the surah regularly would improve your sustenance and the reason is not that Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ will protect you from poverty in a way that you wish but in a way that he wishes look Allah has created things nobody here can tell us in Zimbabwe that we've run out of vegetation if you were utilizing the land the little piece of land that you have to plant we're not in a desert we're in the most fertile land some of the land here is perhaps level one in terms of fertility on earth Africa is known for that gift so nobody can say I'm a poor person but you say I'm reading surah waka every day and I still can't pay my debts well there's a problem perhaps you did something wrong perhaps the equation is not complete so on its own it's not going to be able to assist or help just like that in a way that you wish but Allah shows you different things you have food provided for you have shelter provided for you have drink provided for you have so many other things but you will need to make an effort over and above just reading verses of the Quran you can't just say I need to pass my exam so I need to read the surah of the Quran for example and you just read the surah no studying no sweating and you go back there for all I care when they ask you about photosynthesis you can't just give them a verse of the Quran and tell them I was reading this last night you need to answer the question you need to have learnt you need to have studied so the same applies here you read it Allah is talking about you how you were born Allah is talking about the plantation well read it with the meaning and this is why my mothers and sisters I always say a lot of the times we lose the plot because we haven't even known the meaning of these verses and why is it that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala kept virtue in certain verses and it's amazing that if we were just to ponder over the verses we would be receiving and achieving a lot of goodness take a look at surah they call it surah to شرح and these two surahs we know them off by heart since we were kids we've learnt them we've memorized them do you know how powerful they are what the word وَمَا قَلَا own its own would actually cool you down calm you and really make you a person who's stress and depression and tension is all gone if you understood it and believed in it Allah is telling you وَمَا قَلَا he's not angry with you things didn't happen your way doesn't mean Allah is upset with you سبحان اللہ the same applies to surah to شرح where Allah speaks about heart chip they will always be ease don't think you're not going to get heart chip because you won't know what ease is unless you have tasted heart chip سبحان اللہ may Allah help us read the meanings of the Quran the verses and then you'll understand so Allah is saying look at the seed here the seed that you sow now imagine if someone says well I didn't sow any seed I'm just waiting for the produce to be given from you or Allah you are the sustainer and you've written how much I'm going to get 10 tomatoes I expect by tomorrow morning 7 o'clock are you mad if you wanted 10 tomatoes you should have planted the seeds and trust me in a few days time you'll already see the shoots here in this country like I said thank Allah for it there are others who can plant whatever they want it just doesn't grow because of the type of soil they have but no we're okay my grass must look nice my lawn we got the greenest of lawns سبحان اللہ and then we complained there's no vegetable we'll start eating grass it's beautiful isn't it it reminds me of this ایدو لضحہ Mashallah people who have these sheep and so on beautiful little sheep in their homes and they eat the lawn and people get upset well that's the food of the sheep may Allah سبحانہ واتعالہ help us really we have been blessed my mothers and sisters if you have traveled throughout the world or even a few countries or if you've heard we are blessed in a million and one ways الحمدلہ اللہ thank Allah no electricity no water huge potholes on the streets we are still perhaps some of the most blessed people on earth trust me the peace the contentment you have the fact that you're you know you can sow seeds and they can grow you can have food and vegetation and so on سبحان اللہ to say someone has died of hunger is actually an insult an insult in a nation like this may Allah سبحانہ واتعالہ grant us goodness and ease and make us be thankful it's only through gratitude to Allah that you achieve more yes your days will be difficult not all the days are going to be easy you're going to have difficult days but that does not mean that you are not living a luxurious life compared to others on the globe I know of people living in first world countries they don't enjoy their lives as much as we do my mothers and sisters سبحان اللہ I know of people who are living in first world countries who are totally depressed and suicidal just because they have made a few errors and mistakes when it comes to taking loans from banks and they are paying back 20 times more than what they ever paid in the first place or received in the first place in order to make a payment for their furniture or what have you with us solve the problem put the mattress on the floor and as we say hit the sack اللہ عقبار حمدلہ اللہ and you sleep beautiful sleep air condition you don't really need a fan or an air condition here as in in terms of desperation it's not that hot that cold no the daytime temperature in this country will not go below approximately 15 and it will not go above approximately 35 approximately you might have a little bit here and there you look at that mean you can compete with the global weather you are one of the best on earth سبحان اللہ still we have fans and heaters and air conditioning units and nowadays we cannot survive without it why room temperature is 23 my room is 26 those 3 degrees I can't sleep that's our children you noticed may Allah forgive us really so we become depressed because of 3 degrees that's it and others are living 45 degrees and they're still saying ooh it's cool today man yesterday was 50 اللہ اکبر may Allah forgive us my mothers and sisters I'm just mentioning this to draw your attention to the fact that we have been blessed by Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ الحمد للہ الحمد للہ الحمد للہ الحمد للہ so Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ says here if we willed we could make it dry and you would remain in wonder you see these seeds Allah says is it you who made it grow or are we the grower if we wanted we could make it dry debris and you would remain in wonder saying indeed we are now in debt so Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ could cause that and he has and he does sometimes in order to wake people up to the reality that he is the greatest and to the reality that life is a test not every day will be the same today you made a huge profit in business you might have to close down your store in a few years time because it's no longer what people want to buy so Allah says and have you seen the water that you drink Allah is the greatest Allah is the greatest Subhan Allah have you seen the water that you drink have you thought of it clear cut water clear beautiful extremely tasty in this part of the world sweet water Mashallah sweet if we had to bottle the water that we got in our own yards the balls that we have trust me we would be multi millionaires the globe would wish for this water Mashallah amazing people complain the water that you get from the tap you know you can no longer drink it and so on trust me there are people who get brown water it looks like tea coming from the tap automatic Mashallah you just need to connect a little heater on the other side and you get pure tea we have a gift of Allah we drink proper pure water الحمدلہ those who have boreholes you know this masjid Mashallah it has water that is some of the best water that I've tasted in in my life I think Subhan Allah and the whole world is allowed to come and collect water from here they've kept it an open door policy Subhan Allah you find Muslims and non Muslims coming and filling their drums why it's a gift of Allah Subhan Allah so many gallons per hour Mashallah you have pure water complete absolutely amazing quenching water and Allah says have you ever thought of it that's what Allah is saying have you ever thought of it the water that you drink we ever thought of it this is now connected to protection from poverty it's actually sustenance it's speaking about sustenance Allah sustained you through providing water for you through letting the seeds grow for you so you've got to make an effort you've got to either drill the borehole or you've got to do something the well needs to be sunk or you have to sow the seeds in order for them to grow as in plantation you cannot just expect it to happen but Allah is saying it's there have you thought of it is it you who brought this water down from the clouds or did we bring it down ask yourself who brought it down who gave you the water is it you or is it Allah who put it there for you if we will we could have made it bitter if we will we could have made this water bitter we could not be able to drink it so why are you not grateful may Allah make us from among those who are grateful look at the question Allah is asking Allah says whenever you drink water whenever you drink any liquid tell yourself if Allah wanted this could have been so bitter that I would not be able to drink it so let me just be thankful to Allah what did I say at the beginning sweet water do you know the lime scaling water when it goes beyond a certain point it's dangerous for your health but up to a certain point it actually makes your water sweeter did you ever know that Subhan Allah are you grateful that's the question Allah is asking verse number 70 then Allah says and have you seen the fire that you ignite you light a fire is it you who produced its tree or are we the producer and tree here refers to everything the fossils and so on even the oil that you get from underneath the ground from beneath you the fossil or whatever however it has come about Allah says who provided that have you ever thought of it the fire that you ignite the tree who produced it you or was it us who produced the tree that's verse number 72 verse number 73 Allah says we have made it a reminder and provision for the travellers when people are travelling they need light they need to ignite their stoves they need to use things they need so much someone might say well nowadays there is electricity well take a look at how it is generated when did it come from who provided it Subhan Allah Allah says so exalt the name of your lord the most great اسم ربک that means say سبحان ربی الأعلا say glory be to my lord the highest or the greatest then Allah says then I swear by the setting of the stars فلا اکسم بمواقع النجوم I swear by the setting of the stars and indeed it is an oath if you could know the most great indeed it is a noble Quran in a register well protected none touch it except the purified سبحان اللہ here according to the Mufassireen what is being spoken about is اللوح المحول it is the preserved tablet or the preserved slate in heaven where the Quran is written Allah says none touch it except the purified referring to the angels now some of the scholars make mention of the Quran itself and the fact that if you want to touch it you must be in a state of purity you should not be in a state of janabah and so on that too is a ruling that the jurists have made mention of but here Allah is speaking of the preserved tablets and then he says it is a revelation from the lord of the worlds so after Allah drew our attention to so much that he's given us he says I've sent you a reminder understand it put it into practice and understand that it's a gift of Allah it is revelation from the lord of the worlds سبحان اللہ and Allah asks a question is it to this statement that you are indifferent this Quran these words you are indifferent do you make thanks for your provision that you deny the provider himself how are you being grateful to Allah for what he gave you by denying him that's a question and this is the state of a lot of people Allah gives them health Allah gives them wealth Allah gives them good looks Allah gives them sustenance they have so much Allah has provided for them absolutely everything but they are not interested in thanking Allah through obeying his commands not at all all abstaining from his prohibitions not at all so Allah says I am the provider how are you thanking me are you thanking me by denying me is that thankfulness is that gratitude it's a question you need to ask yourself we all need to ask ourselves سبحان اللہ this is showing us that gratitude to Allah is actually through obeying his instruction you can get up for Salatul Fajr without anyone reminding you or even if they do remind you but you get up without the batting of an eyelet as soon as your alarm goes you're up and you enthusiastically go and make your wudu when you're so delighted and you're happy and you come and you fulfill your Salat like a very happy person that is called saying thank you to Allah you're thanking Allah you're actually being grateful that's what gratitude is all about you can dress appropriately that is gratitude to Allah you worship Allah alone that is gratitude to Allah you learn what the Prophet ﷺ's taught and you want to practice it exactly as he did that is gratitude to Allah because he was the messenger sent by Allah سبحانہ وتعال حرام and sin is so easy to be committed and you say no we've left it for the sake of Allah that is gratitude to Allah sin is easy to be committed you don't or if you had bad habits bad ways say drugs and alcohol and whatever other bad habits and you cut them for the sake of Allah that is gratitude to Allah سبحانہ وتعال حرام you were in the night clubs every weekend and you danced to the dirtiest of music and then you quit it and cut it all for the sake of Allah سبحانہ وتعال حرام that is gratitude to Allah so Allah is saying well be grateful Allah is saying look at man man gives thanks is that thanks thank you thank you Allah you know you clasp your hands or you do whatever some of the people of different faiths and even some of the muslimin they just say I thank Allah for everything he's given us and the next thing they send him is that gratitude does Allah need your lip service no way not at all that's just words from your tongue then Allah says then why when the soul at death reaches the throat and you are at that time looking on and our angels are nearer to him in fact Allah says and we are nearer to him than you but you do not see some of the mufasirin say here Allah is speaking of the angels so Allah is asking you a question that one day you are going to die and one day the soul will reach your throat let's pause for a moment and think of it today your blood is masha Allah flowing your heart is pumping thank God you're healthy and Allah says one day it will stop it has to stop and your soul will come out and it will get to your throat and we promising you that that has to happen you better be grateful before that happens Allah says when the soul at the time of death reaches the throat and you are at that time looking on and we are nearer to him than you or nearer to it than you but you do not see then why do you not if you are not to be recompensed bring it back if you should be truthful Allah says if you believe that we are not going to take account of your deeds and you are not going to be recompensed for the things that you've done then why don't you stop your soul from coming out of your body stop it let's see you cannot Allah says if you are truthful bring that soul back and put it back into your bodies do you know people are preserving bodies in order to save them for a day when they believe that they will be able to bring the souls back and put them into the bodies this is what's happening really on a global level there are certain wealthy people who are preserving freezing their bodies for a day when they believe they will be able to bring it back to life they say one day we will discover how to do it Allah says go keep on trying it's not going to happen so Allah is asking you the question and asking me and every one of us to say that will you bring it back the soul after it has departed the body if you are truthful well those who disbelieve or in their statement that there is no resurrection there is no future there is no life after death there is no recompense and so on Allah says well bring the soul back let's see and if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah then for him is rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure so Allah says when the true believers die they know that they are going to a very very good place and sisters i want to stop for one minute to tell you something very important you need to have hope in the mercy of Allah when you get old and your body starts aching and perhaps your health begins to fail you need to be able to bear sabr and have hope in the mercy of Allah and continue reminding yourself that Allah loves you and he will definitely take you to the best place far better than whatever you've had on earth here Allah will definitely recompense you and he will forgive your sins he definitely will forgive your sins ask him to forgive you you will be forgiven ask him to grant you jannah he will give it to you he is the most merciful he is the greatest the most beneficent he is Allah he will give it to you have good hope in Allah and you know now i am going to miss this one and that one no you are going just like everyone else has gone to a far far better place because you are a believer didn't you utter the Shahada didn't you believe in Allah alone didn't you try to protect yourself from shirk as much as possible didn't you try to follow the example of Muhammad as best as possible didn't you seek constant forgiveness didn't you ask Allah for jannah yes well nothing is going to be wasted remember that so don't lose hope no matter what you are going through you will go to a better place we cling to dear life thinking that life is beautiful the minute you cross to the other side you might tell yourself i should have come here a long long time back i wasted myself there with all the power cuts and everything so Allah is telling us that from among those brought me to Allah then for him there is rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure and if he were from the companions of the right then the angels will say peace for you you are from the companions of the right those who will get their books on the right side they will be VIPs may Allah make us from among those today you get a VIP ticket to a football match that might even be ended before the 90 minutes because of violence and we get excited hey i sat right in the front did you check me on tv that for us is like the highlight of our lives that's it too the peak now i can die you know why because i attended uaifa wow right first stuff but i wasn't even in the last stuff may Allah forgive us you want your book on the right side well you need to make sure your priorities are alright i'm not saying it's haram to do this or do that but i'm saying make sure you please Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ you may want to enjoy life a little bit here and there you may want for as long as it's within the limits of Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ and for as long as you're fulfilling the other duties and you know that your aim is to get the book on the right side the day of judgement not to get a little trophy on earth for a little while and then when we die we don't even get the book let alone anything else we get it on the left may Allah never do that to us Allah says if he was from the companions the angels will tell him peace for you from the companion you are indeed from the companions of the right but if he were from the deniers who were astray then for him is accommodation of scalding water and burning in the hellfire indeed this is true certainly and it is definitely happening Allah says once again so exalt the name of your lord the most great فَصَبِحْ بِسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ say سبحان ربِّ الْعَظِيمِ the first one i said الْعَلَاْلَا but actually here it says الْعَظِيمِ so you say سبحان ربِّ الْعَظِيمِ you are declaring the greatness of Allah praising Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ saying my rubbish indeed the greatest may Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ grant us goodness in this world and the next وصال اللہ و سلم و بارکا سبحانہ و تعالیٰ سبحانہ و تعالیٰ
