00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:02.299
Allah the Almighty says:

00:00:02.299 --> 00:00:21.899
"O mankind, you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it. Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will be judged an easy account."

00:00:21.899 --> 00:00:26.980
"And he will return to his people in happiness."

00:00:26.980 --> 00:00:39.479
"But as for he who is given his record behind his back, he will cry out for destruction and [will] enter to burn in a Blaze."

00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:43.929
Ibn 'Atiyyah al-Andalusi, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

00:00:43.929 --> 00:00:45.460
The meaning is:

00:00:45.460 --> 00:00:48.960
You are a worker of either good or evil.

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.500
And you are, inevitably, journeying toward your Lord in this.

00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:57.000
For time flies by with the life of a human being.

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:02.500
Indeed, throughout the duration of his life, he is in a swift journey toward his Lord.

00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:06.159
This is a verse of admonition and reminder.

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:07.159
Meaning:

00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.659
Be wary of this state.

00:01:10.659 --> 00:01:13.659
And perform righteous deeds so that you may find them [waiting for you].

00:01:13.659 --> 00:01:15.780
Qatadah said:

00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:22.280
Whoever is able to ensure that his labor is in the obedience of Allah the Almighty, let him do so.
