1 00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:03,730 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 2 00:00:03,730 --> 00:00:08,820 Milestones on the path to stability 3 00:00:08,820 --> 00:00:16,589 Respond to appointments 4 00:00:16,589 --> 00:00:18,589 It is a means of stability 5 00:00:18,589 --> 00:00:24,719 Responding to the promises of God and His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace 6 00:00:24,719 --> 00:00:26,719 God Almighty said 7 00:00:26,719 --> 00:00:32,719 Even if We had decreed against them that they should kill yourselves 8 00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:37,719 Or get out of your homes 9 00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:42,719 Only a few of them did 10 00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:46,719 Even if they did what they preach 11 00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:51,719 It would have been better for them and stronger 12 00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:58,719 And if We had given them from Us a great reward 13 00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:04,719 And We will guide them to a straight path 14 00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:20,719 And whoever obeys God and the Messenger, those are with those upon whom God has bestowed blessings 15 00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:32,719 Of the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs and the righteous 16 00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:37,719 And those are good companions 17 00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:46,420 That grace is from God, and God is sufficient as Knower 18 00:01:46,420 --> 00:01:49,420 Al-Saadi said in his interpretation 19 00:01:50,420 --> 00:01:55,420 If He had prescribed for His servants orders that were difficult for souls 20 00:01:55,420 --> 00:01:59,420 From killing souls and leaving home 21 00:01:59,420 --> 00:02:03,459 Only a few of them did it and it was rare 22 00:02:03,459 --> 00:02:08,460 Let them praise their Lord and thank Him for facilitating what He commanded them to do 23 00:02:08,460 --> 00:02:13,460 One of the commands that is easy for everyone and not difficult to do 24 00:02:13,460 --> 00:02:20,460 This is an indication that the servant should be vigilant against the abhorrent things he is doing 25 00:02:20,460 --> 00:02:26,460 So that worship becomes easier for him and he increases his praise and gratitude to his Lord 26 00:02:26,460 --> 00:02:30,710 Then he told that if they did what they preach 27 00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:34,710 That is, what was assigned to them at all times according to Him 28 00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:40,710 So they exerted their efforts and devoted their souls to doing it and completing it 29 00:02:40,710 --> 00:02:46,710 Their souls did not aspire to what they had not achieved and were not aiming for 30 00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:49,710 This is what a servant should do 31 00:02:49,710 --> 00:02:54,710 To look at the situation that he needs to do and complete it 32 00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:57,710 Then it increases little by little 33 00:02:57,710 --> 00:03:03,710 Until he achieves what he is destined for in knowledge and work in matters of religion and the world 34 00:03:03,710 --> 00:03:10,840 This is the fault of one whose soul aspires to something that he has not achieved or been commanded to do yet 35 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:18,840 He hardly achieves this because of dissipation of energy and laziness and lack of activity 36 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:26,099 Then arrange what happens to them to do what they preach, which are four things 37 00:03:26,099 --> 00:03:32,099 One of them is charity in his saying, “It would have been better for them.” 38 00:03:32,099 --> 00:03:40,099 That is, they would have been among the good people who were characterized by their descriptions of the good deeds they were commanded to do 39 00:03:40,099 --> 00:03:49,099 That is, they were no longer considered evil, because proving something requires denying its opposite 40 00:03:49,099 --> 00:03:54,349 The second is to achieve and increase stabilization and stability 41 00:03:54,349 --> 00:04:03,349 God strengthens those who believe because of their faith, which is doing what they were advised to do 42 00:04:03,349 --> 00:04:11,349 It strengthens them in the life of this world when temptations arise, including commands, prohibitions, and calamities 43 00:04:11,349 --> 00:04:19,350 They gain steadfastness and succeed in doing the commands and abandoning the impositions that the soul requires them to do 44 00:04:19,350 --> 00:04:29,350 When misfortunes occur that the servant hates, he is granted stability through success, patience, contentment, or gratitude 45 00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:34,350 He receives help from God to do this 46 00:04:34,350 --> 00:04:38,350 He obtains steadfastness in the religion at death and in the grave 47 00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:48,579 Also, the servant who does what he is commanded continues to practice the legal commands until he becomes familiar with them 48 00:04:48,579 --> 00:04:56,579 He longs for her and people like her, and this will help him to be steadfast in obedience 49 00:04:56,579 --> 00:04:59,899 The third saying 50 00:04:59,899 --> 00:05:11,899 That is, in the immediate and future, which is for the soul, heart and body 51 00:05:11,899 --> 00:05:20,899 It is eternal bliss that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has ever thought of 52 00:05:20,899 --> 00:05:23,180 Fourth 53 00:05:23,180 --> 00:05:26,180 Guidance to a straight path 54 00:05:26,180 --> 00:05:32,180 This is a generality and a specificity for the honor of being guided to the straight path 55 00:05:32,180 --> 00:05:40,180 Because it includes knowledge of the truth, love of it, selflessness, and acting upon it 56 00:05:40,180 --> 00:05:43,220 Happiness and prosperity depend on that 57 00:05:44,220 --> 00:05:53,220 Whoever is guided to a straight path will be rewarded with all goodness, and all evil and harm will be warded off from him 58 00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:58,139 Milestones on the path to stability
