You have to have a rational outlook. They say, “My friend is so and so.” Your friend appears in your brain. You will have an idea of who is your friend and who is not in the hereafter. YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT MANY OF YOUR FRIENDS ARE ZOMBIES, THE LIVING DEAD. For instance they say, “My mother is so, my father is so.” They can also be zombies. Your parents can be zombies. They may be the people onto whom Allah has not blown His spirit.
People swerve from the true path by looking at the majority of people. In a verse Allah says, “If you follow the majority of people, they divert you from the true path.” You will not abide by the majority. There is one Allah and you. You will look at the Qur’an.
Allah creates human beings as cruel and ignorant. That is why people look at others and make errors. They say, “That person has no faith, the other is an imposter and the other is abnormal. In the verse Allah says that the majority of people do not have faith, and those who have faith ascribe partners to Allah. This is the provision of Allah. There is nothing to be astonished with it.
One needs to focus all his attention and love on Allah.
What if people could see the state of those ladies and men, who have boasted about themselves throughout their lives, in their graves? For instance, if they could ever see the form those bodies would take after the first 20 to 30 or 50 days; they would have no attachment to this world at all.
Whoever is conscientious, he sides with Allah. Whoever is unconscientious leaves Allah and pursues his own pleasures. He tends to this transitory world.
That is how Almighty Allah creates the test. This is the wisdom of Almighty Allah. He shows it as a mere 50 percent to 50 percent. The people of faith makes up 51 percent and above while disbelievers 49 percent and below.
Is there a problem of jurisprudence or weakness of faith? The weakness of faith. This is the problem of the entire world.
Those who want to grasp the essence of the religion must look at the Qur’an with attention. There are so many verses related to the weakness of faith.
There is nothing in this world. It as a mere place of trial. But Allah creates people with very dim intelligence. Allah makes them love this world and looking at that, people are deceived.
THE WORLD IS TEMPORARY. ONE SHOULD NOT FEEL ATTACHED TO THIS WORLD. One must be wise. At first sight, one may feel the urge to love this world but we understand that we are living in a metaphysical world.
Status is not important at all; at the end of the day we eat one portion of food. One may become the CEO of some such company, it is just a title. It is more important to be the CEO of the hearts of nations.
There will be both a woman with revealing clothes and one wearing a burqa at the very same place. You will have respect for every one of them. And one needs to show this respect out in the open.
Once a person believes, his prostitution comes to an end. This is not a stain that never disappears on him. Once he has faith, embraces the Qur’an and faith and repents, that issue becomes over. He becomes a pure Muslim. This is not something that he can never get rid of for a lifetime.
As a fallacy, they consider a man’s committing prostitution as something to be proud of. The fact is, however, it is essentially what is degrading. The woman is in a passive, weak position there. It is something terrible for a man.
A woman can love if she understands that she is respected and appreciated.
EVERYTHING BECOMES VERY BEAUTIFUL, VERY PRECIOUS WITH FAITH. Then you respect a person and attach value to him, for love and compassion disappears when a person grasps that he is not respected.
ALLAH BEAUTIFIES US BY FAITH. Our life becomes beautiful. Life becomes precious. Otherwise people would loathe one another. Life would become horrible in the absence of faith.
Heaven means nothing without Allah’s approval. The reason why Heaven is beautiful is Allah’s good pleasure.
ALWAYS KEEPING ALLAH IN HEART IS DHIKR (REMEMBRANCE). People may have a misconception of dhikr. People may assume that dhikr is recital of Allah’s name in a loud voice. KEEPING ALLAH IN ONE’S IMAGINATION, IN HIS MIND, BEING AWARE THAT HE LOVES ALLAH AND BEING CONSCIOUS OF THAT. IT IS DHIKR TO CONSTANTLY KEEP ALLAH IN HEART.
There exists some malice in the flesh of those who engage in adultery. Some kind of dullness and filth. This is expressed from their style.
