WEBVTT 00:00:00.210 --> 00:00:03.730 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:03.730 --> 00:00:08.619 Milestones on the road to stability 00:00:08.619 --> 00:00:16.660 Not to be deceived by the world 00:00:16.660 --> 00:00:21.859 One of the means of steadfastness is not to be deceived by worldly life. 00:00:21.859 --> 00:00:25.699 There are many who fall from the path 00:00:25.699 --> 00:00:29.539 The world with its squares has wanted them to be destroyed 00:00:29.539 --> 00:00:32.179 Like empty palm trees 00:00:32.609 --> 00:00:36.530 Desiring this world and being keen on it rather than the afterlife 00:00:36.530 --> 00:00:40.130 It is the path of the unbelievers and the arrogant 00:00:40.130 --> 00:00:43.609 God Almighty said describing the Jews 00:00:43.609 --> 00:00:49.450 Say, “If you have the Hereafter home with God.” 00:00:49.450 --> 00:00:59.130 Purely without people 00:00:59.130 --> 00:01:05.969 Then wish for death if you are truthful 00:01:05.969 --> 00:01:13.090 They will never wish for it with what their hands have provided 00:01:13.090 --> 00:01:18.930 And God is All-Knowing of the wrongdoers 00:01:18.930 --> 00:01:28.329 You will find them to be the most eager for life among those who associate others with others 00:01:28.329 --> 00:01:33.329 Someone would like to live a thousand years 00:01:33.329 --> 00:01:41.969 And he does not escape from the torment 00:01:41.969 --> 00:01:45.569 To live long 00:01:45.569 --> 00:01:52.189 And God sees what they do 00:01:52.189 --> 00:01:54.109 And God Almighty said 00:01:54.150 --> 00:01:59.430 Whoever disbelieves in God after his belief 00:01:59.430 --> 00:02:13.310 Except for one who is forced and whose heart is at peace with faith 00:02:13.310 --> 00:02:24.590 But whoever explains disbelief to his heart 00:02:24.590 --> 00:02:32.710 The wrath of God is upon them 00:02:32.710 --> 00:02:37.110 And for them is a great punishment 00:02:37.110 --> 00:02:42.469 This is because the life of this world is desirable 00:02:42.469 --> 00:02:44.189 On the afterlife 00:02:44.189 --> 00:02:47.150 They loved the life of this world 00:02:47.150 --> 00:02:48.669 On the afterlife 00:02:48.669 --> 00:02:51.509 And God does not guide 00:02:51.509 --> 00:02:55.340 The unbelieving people 00:02:55.340 --> 00:02:56.900 And he said 00:02:56.900 --> 00:03:05.099 Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which is guidance and light 00:03:05.099 --> 00:03:07.979 The prophets rule by it 00:03:07.979 --> 00:03:11.180 Those who surrendered to those who were guided 00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:18.340 And the rabbis and the rabbis 00:03:18.340 --> 00:03:21.819 Because they have memorized the Book of God 00:03:21.819 --> 00:03:25.780 And they were witnesses against him 00:03:25.780 --> 00:03:29.419 So do not fear people and be afraid 00:03:29.419 --> 00:03:34.939 And do not exchange His verses for a small price 00:03:34.939 --> 00:03:39.419 And whoever does not rule by what God has revealed 00:03:39.419 --> 00:03:44.599 Those are the disbelievers 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.120 And he said 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:51.000 And when God took the covenant of those who were given the Book 00:03:51.000 --> 00:04:01.080 To show it to people 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.280 And do not hide it 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:09.240 They rejected him behind their backs 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.520 They bought it for a small price 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:17.269 So evil is what they buy 00:04:17.269 --> 00:04:20.670 God Almighty said in describing the unbelievers 00:04:20.670 --> 00:04:26.459 A thousand no orders 00:04:26.459 --> 00:04:30.139 A book we have sent down to you 00:04:30.139 --> 00:04:36.699 To bring people out of darkness into light 00:04:36.740 --> 00:04:43.139 To bring people out of darkness into light 00:04:43.139 --> 00:04:49.220 With the permission of their Lord, to the path of the Mighty, the Praiseworthy 00:04:49.220 --> 00:04:54.819 God is the One to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth 00:04:54.819 --> 00:05:01.540 And woe to the disbelievers from a severe torment 00:05:01.540 --> 00:05:06.819 Those who prefer the life of this world over the afterlife 00:05:06.860 --> 00:05:15.060 And they turn away from the path of God 00:05:15.060 --> 00:05:18.019 And they want it to be crooked 00:05:18.019 --> 00:05:26.819 Those are far astray 00:05:26.819 --> 00:05:30.819 He said in describing one of the scholars of the children of Israel 00:05:30.819 --> 00:05:34.579 He is the predecessor of the deviant scholars 00:05:34.620 --> 00:05:39.779 And recite to them the news of the One to whom We have given Our signs 00:05:39.779 --> 00:05:45.620 So he broke away from it 00:05:45.620 --> 00:05:47.860 Then Satan followed him 00:05:47.860 --> 00:05:51.100 He was one of the deceivers 00:05:51.100 --> 00:05:54.300 If we wished, we could raise it with it 00:05:54.300 --> 00:06:02.540 But he went to earth 00:06:02.540 --> 00:06:05.620 And follow his whims 00:06:05.620 --> 00:06:08.060 He is like a dog 00:06:08.060 --> 00:06:10.899 If he bears it, he will gasp 00:06:10.899 --> 00:06:13.379 Or leave him panting 00:06:13.379 --> 00:06:19.420 That is like the people who denied Our signs 00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:25.139 So tell stories so that they might think 00:06:25.139 --> 00:06:31.180 Worse than me are the people who disbelieved in Our signs 00:06:31.180 --> 00:06:36.439 And they were wronging themselves 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:41.620 Ibn al-Qayyim said in informing the signatories about the Lord of the Worlds 00:06:41.620 --> 00:06:45.180 So God, Glory be to Him, resembles the one to whom His Book was given 00:06:45.180 --> 00:06:48.740 He taught him the knowledge that others prevented him from 00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:51.939 So he abandoned working on it and followed his desires 00:06:51.939 --> 00:06:54.899 God's displeasure affected His satisfaction 00:06:54.899 --> 00:06:57.220 And his world over his hereafter 00:06:57.220 --> 00:07:00.740 And the creature is against the Creator through the dog 00:07:00.779 --> 00:07:03.540 Which is one of the most malicious animals 00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:07.180 The most humble and the meanest soul 00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:10.060 His determination does not go beyond his stomach 00:07:10.060 --> 00:07:13.199 The most greedy and greedy of them 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.279 And in an analogy of those who prefer this world and its immediate future 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.600 On God and the Hereafter 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:20.240 With his abundance of knowledge 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.680 If the dog is panting 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:24.600 A wonderful secret 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:28.120 This is what God has mentioned 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:32.160 From slipping away from His verses and following his desires 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.800 But it was due to his intense longing for the world 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:39.839 Because his heart was cut off from God and the Hereafter 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.600 He is very passionate about her 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.600 His eagerness is like the constant eagerness of a dog 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.819 If you disturb him, leave him 00:07:48.819 --> 00:07:53.540 And in the two Sahihs on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said 00:07:53.540 --> 00:07:56.300 What poverty I fear for you 00:07:56.339 --> 00:08:01.019 But I fear that the world will become easy for you 00:08:01.019 --> 00:08:04.459 As it was extended to those who came before you 00:08:04.459 --> 00:08:08.019 So they competed with her as they competed with her 00:08:08.019 --> 00:08:11.600 And you will be destroyed just as I destroyed them 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:15.480 And when Pharaoh’s magicians saw the clear signs 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.519 They believed in their Lord 00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.439 Pharaoh threatened to kill them 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:21.920 So they remained steadfast 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:27.560 They said, "We will not spare you for what came to us." 00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:31.600 Of clear evidence and the One who created us 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.600 So I spend what I select 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:41.200 You will only spend this worldly life 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.519 We believed in our Lord 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:51.759 To forgive us our sins 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:55.840 And the magic you forced us to do 00:08:55.840 --> 00:09:00.120 God is good and lasting
