The Garden of Guidance.

00:00:04.950 --> 00:00:07.349
Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says:

00:00:07.349 --> 00:00:24.699
“Those who say: Our Lord! Lo! we believe. So forgive us our sins and guard us from the punishment of Fire;” (3:16)

00:00:24.699 --> 00:00:38.189
"The patient, the true, the obedient, those who spend [in the cause of Allah], and those who seek forgiveness before dawn."

00:00:38.189 --> 00:00:42.549
On the authority of 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

00:00:42.549 --> 00:00:47.630
A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and asked:

00:00:47.630 --> 00:00:51.789
"O Prophet of Allah, which deed is best?"

00:00:51.950 --> 00:00:53.189
He replied:

00:00:53.189 --> 00:00:59.479
"Faith in Allah, believing in Him, and striving in His cause."

00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:00.560
The man said:

00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.310
"I want something easier than that, O Messenger of Allah."

00:01:04.310 --> 00:01:05.430
He replied:

00:01:05.430 --> 00:01:08.030
"Tolerance and patience."

00:01:08.030 --> 00:01:09.150
The man said:

00:01:09.150 --> 00:01:12.930
"I want something easier than that, O Messenger of Allah."

00:01:12.930 --> 00:01:14.129
He said:

00:01:14.129 --> 00:01:18.810
"Do not accuse Allah of injustice in anything He has decreed for you."

00:01:18.810 --> 00:01:21.430

A benefit:

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.599
'Umar ibn Dharr (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.400
"Whoever is firmly resolved upon patience in all matters

00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.239
has truly attained all good,

00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:35.200
and has sought the strongholds of righteousness and the completeness of rewards."
