WEBVTT 00:00:00.210 --> 00:00:03.669 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:03.669 --> 00:00:08.660 Milestones on the road to stability 00:00:10.449 --> 00:00:13.289 Honesty and sincerity 00:00:13.289 --> 00:00:18.370 It is a means of stability 00:00:18.370 --> 00:00:24.929 Ibn Sharah’s desire to do good deeds is sincerity, honesty, sincerity and certainty 00:00:24.929 --> 00:00:27.410 God Almighty said 00:00:27.410 --> 00:00:32.689 Like those who spend their money 00:00:32.689 --> 00:00:38.049 Seeking God’s pleasure and stability 00:00:38.049 --> 00:00:51.810 And to establish themselves as a garden like a hill 00:00:51.810 --> 00:01:00.689 It was hit by a barrage and it paid off twice as much 00:01:00.689 --> 00:01:06.049 If it is not hit by a barrage, it will fall 00:01:06.049 --> 00:01:11.519 And God sees what you do 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.079 Al-Tabari said in his interpretation 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.599 Rather, it is about God Almighty 00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:23.120 That their souls were certain and believed in God’s promise to them 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.840 What you spent in obedience to Him without any harm or harm 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:32.719 So I made them steadfast in spending their money seeking God’s pleasure 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.680 It corrected their resolve and opinions 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:37.760 We are sure of that 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:42.239 And in confirmation of God’s promise to her, what he promised her 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.319 That is why some of the interpreters said what he said 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.599 Confirmation and ratification 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.040 Some of them said with certainty 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:59.120 By strengthening the souls of those who spend their money seeking God’s pleasure 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:04.340 But it was out of certainty and belief in God’s promise 00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:07.859 Ibn al-Qayyim said on the path of the two migrations 00:02:07.859 --> 00:02:12.900 This is an example of someone whose expenses come from sincerity and honesty 00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:17.219 Seeking His pleasure, Glory be to Him, is sincerity 00:02:17.219 --> 00:02:20.900 Self-assurance is honesty in effort 00:02:20.900 --> 00:02:25.379 The spender is faced with afflictions when he spends 00:02:25.379 --> 00:02:30.580 If he escaped from them, it would be like what he mentioned in this verse 00:02:30.580 --> 00:02:38.580 One of them is his request for praise, praise, or one of his worldly purposes 00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:41.620 This is the case with most spenders 00:02:41.620 --> 00:02:47.219 The second affliction is his own weakness, inaction, and hesitation 00:02:47.219 --> 00:02:49.759 Whether he does or not 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.840 The first affliction is removed by seeking God’s pleasure 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.599 The second lesion disappears with fixation 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.599 Establishing oneself encourages and strengthens it 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.159 And make the effort 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.400 This is her sincerity 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:10.560 And seeking God's pleasure is the will of His face alone 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.229 This is her sincerity 00:03:13.229 --> 00:03:17.710 Sincerity is an essential pillar of all good deeds 00:03:17.710 --> 00:03:20.909 Its distinction cannot be achieved without it 00:03:20.909 --> 00:03:24.509 As the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said 00:03:24.509 --> 00:03:26.990 Actions are based on intentions 00:03:26.990 --> 00:03:30.750 But each person has what he intended 00:03:30.750 --> 00:03:36.430 Sincerity is singling out the truth, Glory be to Him, with the intention of obedience 00:03:36.430 --> 00:03:40.560 And filtered from the observation of created beings 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:44.219 Ibn al-Qayyim said in Madarij al-Salikeen 00:03:44.219 --> 00:03:47.659 People of devotion to God and followers 00:03:47.659 --> 00:03:51.020 They are the people of You we truly worship 00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:53.500 All their deeds belong to God 00:03:53.500 --> 00:03:55.340 And their sayings belong to God 00:03:55.340 --> 00:03:57.259 And their giving to God 00:03:57.259 --> 00:03:58.939 And God forbid them 00:03:58.939 --> 00:04:00.699 And their love for God 00:04:00.699 --> 00:04:02.939 And their hatred of God 00:04:02.939 --> 00:04:07.659 Their treatment, outwardly and inwardly, is for the sake of God alone 00:04:07.659 --> 00:04:12.379 They do not want any reward or thanks from the people 00:04:12.379 --> 00:04:14.780 Nor do they seek prestige among them 00:04:14.780 --> 00:04:18.779 Nor does he seek praise or status in their hearts 00:04:18.779 --> 00:04:21.180 Nor to escape from their censure 00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:25.339 Rather, they regarded people as being inhabited by graves 00:04:25.339 --> 00:04:28.459 They have neither harm nor benefit 00:04:28.459 --> 00:04:32.740 No death, no life, no resurrection 00:04:32.740 --> 00:04:34.259 Work is for people 00:04:34.259 --> 00:04:37.620 And seeking prestige and status with them 00:04:37.620 --> 00:04:40.740 Their hope is for harm and benefit from them 00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:44.420 No one knows them at all 00:04:44.420 --> 00:04:48.529 Rather, he who is ignorant about them and ignorant of his Lord 00:04:48.529 --> 00:04:52.290 Whoever knows the people will take them to their homes 00:04:52.290 --> 00:04:56.930 Whoever knows God, his deeds and words will be more sincere to Him 00:04:56.930 --> 00:05:01.230 His giving, his withholding, his love and his hatred 00:05:01.230 --> 00:05:04.430 No one treats creation other than God 00:05:04.430 --> 00:05:08.430 Except for his ignorance of God and his ignorance of creation 00:05:08.430 --> 00:05:12.189 Otherwise, if God is known and people are known 00:05:12.189 --> 00:05:16.529 He preferred God’s treatment over their treatment 00:05:16.529 --> 00:05:20.370 The sincere ones are those whom God confirms 00:05:20.370 --> 00:05:24.370 Especially in places of trial and tribulation 00:05:24.370 --> 00:05:27.810 As God confirmed Joseph, peace be upon him 00:05:27.810 --> 00:05:31.970 He explained this by saying that he was loyal 00:05:31.970 --> 00:05:34.050 God Almighty said 00:05:34.050 --> 00:05:37.649 And I was interested in it 00:05:37.649 --> 00:05:43.250 And they were in it, had he not seen the proof of his Lord 00:05:43.250 --> 00:05:50.449 Likewise, to turn away evil and immorality from him 00:05:50.449 --> 00:05:57.810 He is one of our loyal servants 00:05:57.810 --> 00:06:02.129 The accursed Satan has no recourse against them 00:06:02.129 --> 00:06:04.139 God Almighty said 00:06:04.220 --> 00:06:15.019 He said, “My Lord, because You have led me astray, I will certainly beautify for them on earth.” 00:06:15.019 --> 00:06:19.740 And I will seduce them all 00:06:19.740 --> 00:06:24.850 Except Your sincere servants among them 00:06:24.850 --> 00:06:26.500 And he said 00:06:26.500 --> 00:06:32.660 He said, “By Your glory, I will mislead them all.” 00:06:32.660 --> 00:06:37.139 Except Your sincere servants among them
