 This world is not just run by laws of physics. This world operates at one level according to the laws of physics and physics including I mean you know chemistry, biology and all that. But there is another level that supernatural factors also contribute. So for example if you want to understand how many years someone is going to live, you cannot just examine his body and diet and exercises and environment, there are other factors. How good he is with his parents, how he is connecting to this kinship, Selayih r-Rahim. All these things have role in determining how many years you are going to live, okay? So when it comes to success, one of the key factors is your good intention. If you have good intention, this world appreciates, people's hearts will be open to you. But if you have bad intention, things become blocked. Maybe temporarily with the force of money or with some tricks, you can open partly a space for you to function. But this is not going to continue for a long time. So good intention is very important. Prophet Shuaib said, my intention is only Islah. I just want to bring some reform, some improvement to your life. In oridu illal Islah, masta taqt, as much as I can. It means that I am not reserving any talent, any skill, any resources, any time, any energy. Whatever I have, I put it into this work, in oridu illal Islah masta taqt, as much as I can. Allah swt says, wa a'idu lahum masta taqtum min quwwat. As much as you can, you must prepare a strength. Prophet Shuaib also says, I don't want to accept Islah as much as I can. So no laziness, no miserliness, no relaxation as long as the mission is not accomplished. I tell myself, and you don't need this but I tell myself, we have many, many, many years to have rest in Barzakh. Now it's not time for rest. Now we must, as much as of course we don't harm our health, but as much as we don't harm our health, we have to work. There would be, God knows how many centuries or how many thousands of years we are going to be in Barzakh. So there is enough time for rest. Now there is no time for rest. Imam Sadiq said about mu'min, badannuhu minhu fi ta'a'bar, wa nasu minhu fi raha. His body or her body is made tired by him or her because he uses or she uses body a lot. But people are at rest. This is opposite to what we see many times, that people try to relax as much as possible and put pressure on others, but mu'min is opposite. Never burdens other with his own task and even tries to take part of the task of others so that they can relax. If I try to make you comfortable, this is good. If I try to make you able to rest, this is good. But if I do the same to myself, it is not good. I should not be planning for my comfort and convenience, I should plan for your comfort and convenience. So, mas tataat as much as we can, wama tawfiqi illa billah. And I know and I am conscious that my tawfiq is only coming from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. I tell you something that I hope you remember. Sometimes we think it's not needed, we keep repeating that we need Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, our tawfiq is from him, everything is in his hand, inshaAllah we will do this. Sometimes we think it is in our heart, it is in our mind also because we have studied and acquired that we are dependent on Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. So we don't need to keep mentioning these things. But as a matter of fact, mentioning repeatedly your dependence on Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala would facilitate your affairs. If you say, I do this inshaAllah, inshaAllah we will do it, we will do it but our tawfiq is from Allah in Allah's hand, we put our trust in Allah and we do it. You may think these are not needed because we all know as mu'min but no these are very important. Mentioning these things with intention means you are using these spiritual tools and this will change the situation. In Ramazan we had this series that spiritual tools and empowering aids or spiritual aids and empowering tools. So we talked about it. So it is very important. Like you know, Bismillah, if you say Bismillah and you do something it makes big difference. Wa ma tawfiqi illa billah, alaihi tabakkatu wa ilaihi oni. I put my trust in Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala and in Him I put my trust and to Him I return. Okay? So Prophet Shuaib is very clearly saying that I am dependent on Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. I am doing everything out of my sense of responsibility towards Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala but I do things wholeheartedly with maximum energy and power and talents and skills that I have. Imam Raza alaihi s-salam said, Man sa'al Allah at tawfiq wa lam yajtahid fa qad istahza abinafsih. The one who ask Allah for tawfiq, he ask or she ask Allah for tawfiq but does not make his or her best, doesn't make efforts, has ridiculed himself or herself. If you want tawfiq you have to work masta ta'at as much as you can and about good intention that we said. Amirul Mu'mineen alaihi s-salam says, Man hasunat niyyatuhu amaddahu tawfiq, the one whose niyyah is good, tawfiq will help him. So it means tawfiq comes when you have good intention. Dua is important. Amirul Mu'mineen said, alaihi kabbali ista'anati bi ilahik warraghbati ilaihi fi tawfiq. You must ask your Lord to help you and you must have yearning for your Lord fi tawfiq for your tawfiq. So if you want tawfiq ask your Lord for help and have eagerness towards your Lord. Another thing which is very important is halal resq. Halal resq is very important for a student, for a talab, for alim, for a teacher, for a speaker. Halal resq is very important because eating haram or things which are problematic will quickly affect your soul. Your soul would not be able to receive Allah's grace in the form of knowledge, in the form of understanding, in the form of wisdom. Having good temper is very good. If you are a person who has a very soft and gentle character and you are kind to people and you make people enjoy your company, this is very good for your tawfiq. Having good friends, if you want to succeed in your studies, choose good students who would be your friends. Those who have good akhba, those who study hard, those who are organized and punctual, those who are polite, those who are grateful, this would help you in many ways and it would add to your tawfiq. And one of the things that our Ulama have always highlighted is respect and kindness to your parents, whether it be your physical parents or your spiritual parents.
