 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والحمد لله رب العالمين وصر الله على محمد وآله الطيبين الطاهرين ولعنة الله على أحداؤهم مجمعين من الآنة إلى أبادي الأبيدين لا أعيش بل أعيش بل لا يمكننا أن نتعيش بسيطة كما يحب as everyone else on the face of this earth one day prophet Jesus was walking when he saw an old man working tirelessly on his field holding his spear and digging the earth he sat down by a tree observing this old man and how hard he was working with passion with hope as if he was going to live for another thousand years prophet AS raised his hands and asked Allah SWT to take away hope from the heart of this man suddenly moments later he saw that old man throw his spear to earth and go and lie down on the tree then prophet AS again raised his hands and asked Allah SWT would you give back hope to this old man this man stood up picked up his spade and started continuing what he was doing before digging the earth moments passed and prophet AS approached that old man and asked him oh old man I was observing you for some time did you throw your spade and leave what you was doing and you laid down on the earth that old man said my conscience my heart spoke to me and said oh old man how long have you left on this life until when would you like to work then I threw my spade and went and laid down on the earth my heart and my conscience spoke to me again and this time it told me that you have a life to live you have to make a living I stood up and picked up that spade what we learn from this story brothers and sisters is that without hope as we understand from the traditions of the holy prophet peace be upon him is that if there was no hope no mother would have fed their child nor no farmer would have went out and farmed any trees so here life wouldn't go on life would not continue without hope but then there is good hope and there is bad hope this poet in the Arabic language describes to us this hope that Allah SWT wants us to be conscious of because too much hope could lay us straight from the right path يامن بدنياه اشتغل all the one that engaged in his worldly life and worldly desires قد غره طول الأمل he thinks that this life that he is living will last forever أولم يزال في غبلة he will continue being in that dilemma حتى دنا منه الأجل until the last moments until death arrives he is still hoping that he can make a living he is still hoping that he can stay amongst his life desires and lusts until the end الموت يأتي بغتة death arrives suddenly والقبر صندوق العمل the grave is a box is a chess box of all of your deeds in this life أصبر على أهوالها be patient upon all of the trials and tribulations لا موت إلا بالأجل there is no death except by the time that Allah chooses to take us from this life so let's learn from the lives of these great individuals hope is good but what kind of hope we have to learn وصلى الله عليه وسلم محمد وآله الطيبين التحلي
