 شعرت شموس الهدي بالكلماتي فانارت الأفهم عود بالله مشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الله سبحانه وتعالى سزن ضهول القرآن لكي لا تئسوا على ما فاتكم ولا تفرحوا بما أتاكم حسنوا على ما فاتكم لا تحاولوا على ما فاتكم تفرحوا على ما فاتكم أو لم يستطيع أن تحصل على ما فاتكم في الحقيقة أن تحصل على this stage in life it's very difficult and it isn't quite easy however this verse that Allah mentions in the Qur'an does not mean that one should not be upset, emotional and cry over what he or she could not achieve we're humans we have sensitive emotions it's normal to be affected it's normal to become sad when you lose something that's special to you and that's dear to you it's normal to become upset when something negative happens to you that affects you the holy verse does not mean that you shouldn't have any emotions at all because Allah continues to say and do not be too excited with what you receive this verse clearly is teaching us and telling us that we should not be attached to this world by becoming upset and going through pain and grief for losing something and not achieving something in the past and on the other hand we should not be too excited with the things that we achieve if you had money in the past and you lost all your money don't waste all your life griefing the loss of your wealth at the same time once you buy yourself a dream car and you settle in your luxurious home with the luxurious furniture try not to be too excited and too attached with what you have achieved this one man once won one million gold dinars his family feared that he would faint if he would hear the news that he won one million gold dinars it's quite a lot of money so his family got a psychological doctor to tell him that to approach him with the money that he had won so that man the doctor approached that man and he said to him what happens if you won 200 gold dinars what would you do with it the man replied I would do this and this and this with the money the doctor said to him what if you won 300 gold dinars what would you do with it the man said I would do this and this and this and that then the doctor said what if you won 100,000 gold dinars what would you do with it إذا كانت مرحباً إلى هذا الدكتر ، لا one will give me this money. I wouldn't win it. He said, what if? He said, if I did, I would give you half of the money. So the doctor got the paper and pen and he's like signed. When the man signed the doctor himself fainted, he couldn't handle the excitement of having half gold dinars of what this man had. So the doctor studied how to approach patients, but he himself could not know how to handle the excitement himself. This is a great story and example that the verse here says that Allah wants us to control our emotions, whether they're exciting emotions or sad emotions. Expect everything and nothing will stay the same way it is. If you're going through a rough time in your life, keep in mind that this rough time is temporary. If you're going through an excitement moment, keep in mind that this excitement moment of your lifetime is also temporary. I'll mention another story about two siblings who fought over a land and that land, it cost a lot of money. So they went to court because they were fighting over this land and after a couple of years, they spent so much money on court with laws here and there. And then one of the siblings had the land and got the land. The other sibling was affected. He cried. He almost lost his life. الله سبحان وتعالى here teaches us, do not be attached to this world if you lose anything from your past and do not be too excited with what you achieve. It's okay to be happy and excited and clap for yourself and smile over the things you achieve, but do not be too attached to it because everything in this world is temporary and here Allah سبحان وتعالى wants us to not become attached to this worldly desires. If that's the case, then one might ask Allah سبحان وتعالى and be like, how can we engage ourselves and not regret what we have lost in the past? The answer is simple. Keep in mind that we human beings were born naked. We came and entered this world with nothing and we will eventually leave this world taking nothing but being buried also naked. Whatever we achieve and owe in this world is an amana. Everything returns to Allah. To God we belong and to Him is our return. Your health, your wealth, your knowledge, your kids, your spouse, everything will return one day back to Allah when He exalted. Therefore in order we don't become too affected by losing the things we have achieved we must understand that everything will return to Allah and everything is an amana and that is one way that we won't become too attached to the things we've achieved. Some people you see them, they're so attached to this world. Their car is dear to them. Their belongings are so important to them. No one is allowed to touch their belongings not even their siblings to use their belongings and share it with them because they're so attached to this world, to the things that they have achieved. Some people cry over a broken plate in the kitchen. Some people won't let their children sit on furniture and live and enjoy their lives because they're so attached to those things. They're unworthy things in this world. Allah سبحانه وتعالى says to the Prophet, محمد بيسن بلسنس بيبانهم. يا محمد احبب من شئت فأنك مفارقة. Love whoever you wish for one day you shall taste its separation and do whatever you will. One day you will be rewarded accordingly. We can love our children, our siblings, our family, our friends, but one day we will be separated from them. We can love our furniture, our money, our car, everything that you owe but one day learn that one day you will be separated from what you love. So in order for you to not be too affected harshly while being separated from what you love, it's important to know and realize that nothing will last. So live happy. How? Let me tell you. What may cause us problems in life? Generally what causes problems is the things that we love too much. The things that we're attached to. You hear a brother hating a brother because he got married before him. You hear a sister hating a sister because she married a rich man or she has this better than me or a neighbor hating another neighbor because my neighbor had this and I don't have that. We're just so attached to this world that we cannot accept the things that we have and the things that we lose. All that's what causes many problems and in order for us to live a happy life with our families and loved ones, you must always remember not to be too attached to this world. And you always hear one person saying to one Oh, I have diabetes so and so destroyed all my life and caused me diabetes so and so ruined my life and they live in sorrow and sadness because of the health that they lost. It's okay to become sad and emotional and cry over your health that you lost. But here Allah says Don't allow it to affect you too much. لا تحزن. It's gone. What has happened has happened. Try to focus on what you have left from your health. Enjoy of what you have because everything will return to Allah and this attitude in life makes us live happy. I've seen people myself who speak about their wealth that they had their beauty that they had and they're like it's all gone but you see them they're still living happy they're living happy and smiling over what they still have and Allah سبحانه وتعالى and this holy verse He had mentioned in the Quran for us to learn from it especially when we fast in this holy month of Ramadan we're going to feel the hunger the thirst the weakness that it's in our body even food won't last even food is temporary when we become elderly we won't be eating too much even the food that we're eating we're going to become separated from it. Therefore we will also be separated from food so even food isn't really important to us and this is this is why in this holy month of Ramadan Allah سبحانه وتعالى wants us to feel have this feeling so we won't be too attached to things and we should practice not to grief over anything that you have lost in your past practice on not being too excited with the things you've achieved you've achieved money good for you be happy with it but don't be too attached Insha'Allah in this holy month of Ramadan with the things that we have achieved in the past and the things that we have lost in the past we should always be happy with what we have smile live our lives and remember that everything is the amana everything that we have is going to return to Allah سبحانه وتعالى so live your life happy with your family and friends cherish everything that you have and know that everything that we have today is temporary وصلى الله عليه وسيدنا ونبينا محمد وعلى ألبيتي الطيبين الطاهلين
