0:09 Conclusion
0:14 You have now lived through the discussion regarding certain worldly afflictions,
0:19 both physical and spiritual,
0:22 and you have seen the breeze of consolation blow through them.
0:26 You have witnessed how grief burdens those who experience it with hardship,
0:31 and scorches them with the heat of misery,
0:34 and how relief comes for that like a bandage upon wounds,
0:39 or water upon fire,
0:41 easing the ailment,
0:43 and extinguishing the glow of pain.
0:47 You have observed that this worldly life, no matter how adorned it may appear,
0:51 displays various forms of wretchedness upon its face,
0:55 and that many types of disturbances flow through its veins.
1:01 You have looked at the states of the happy and the miserable within it;
1:05 the happy one thinks that life, in its entirety, is smiling upon him,
1:10 and that every blooming thing within it is sent to him for his joy,
1:15 while the miserable one believes that the face of life and all it contains is frowning at him,
1:23 and that everything beautiful within it has been stripped of its beauty.
1:28 Yet the matter is not as this one believed or that one thought,
1:33 rather, it is the perspective of the soul itself,
1:36 which paints life as beautiful or ugly,
1:40 and gives things within it an image contrary to what they truly are.
1:46 And here we are, after this journey we have taken together,
1:51 I leave you with some final pieces of advice.
1:53 The first of them:
1:56 Live life through its joys and its sorrows,
2:00 its ease and its hardship,
2:03 its smiles and its tears,
2:06 its scarcity and its abundance,
2:09 while maintaining a balanced approach toward it.
2:12 Do not exaggerate in living within its pleasures,
2:15 to the point where you see yourself in a high heaven,
2:19 from which it is impossible to descend to the earth of distress,
2:23 because if you were to exaggerate,
2:25 and then the situation changed with the onset of some disturbance,
2:28 your fall would be resounding.
2:32 And do not live within its distress in a state of intense, narrow-minded despair,
2:36 but rather deal with distress according to its true measure,
2:40 because if you were to close the doors of relief before your eyes,
2:44 you would be tormenting yourself with an additional torment of your own making.
2:52 The second of them:
2:55 Responding to the causes of happiness and opening the paths of the soul to receive them,
3:02 may end quickly,
3:05 and one might return to the companionship of pain.
3:09 Therefore, let the factors of happiness be firmly rooted within your soul,
3:14 present with you in all circumstances.
3:18 If you see that their lamps have begun to dim within you,
3:23 or that some of their light is fading,
3:26 then read once more from the collections of the lights of happiness,
3:32 to recharge your spirit with energy anew.
3:37 The third of them:
3:39 Be certain that complete happiness, pure from any trace of distress,
3:46 is not in this world,
3:49 but rather in the Paradise of the Hereafter.
3:52 And that complete misery, free from any comfort,
3:56 is not in this abode,
3:59 but rather in the abode of the Hellfire in the Hereafter.
4:03 Therefore,
4:05 make your worldly happiness a reminder to you of the happiness of the Hereafter,
4:10 so that you may hasten upon the path that leads you to it.
4:15 And make whatever misery befalls you,
4:18 a warning to you against the misery of the Hereafter,
4:21 so that you may restrain your steps from walking upon the paths,
4:25 that lead to that destructive end.
4:29 Allah the Exalted said:
4:33 “On the day when it cometh no soul will speak except by His permission; some among them will be wretched, (others) glad.” (11:105)
4:38 "Some will be miserable and some happy."
4:43 “As for those who will be wretched (on that day) they will be in the Fire; sighing and wailing will be their portion therein,” (11:106)
4:49 “As for those who will be wretched (on that day) they will be in the Fire; sighing and wailing will be their portion therein,” (11:106)
4:55 "Abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure,
5:01 except what your Lord wills."
5:04 “Abiding there so long as the heavens and the earth endure save for that which thy Lord willeth. Lo! thy Lord is Doer of what He will.” (11:107)
5:10 “And as for those who will be glad (that day) they will be in the Garden, abiding there so long as the heavens and the earth endure save for that which thy Lord willeth: a gift unfailing.” (11:108)
5:15 "Abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure."
5:23 “And as for those who will be glad (that day) they will be in the Garden, abiding there so long as the heavens and the earth endure save for that which thy Lord willeth: a gift unfailing.” (11:108)
